Paul’s Valley (near), OK
It was white and round. Didn’t move as far as we could tell. Was not moon or stars! Bright daylight. Have no idea what it was.

Farmland, IN
While driving home from work I noticed a cigar shaped craft in the sky just near Farmland Indiana going towards Parker City. It was low, maybe only a couple hundred feet from the mature pine trees. I slowed down my vehicle, and the craft seemed to slow down to, as if I noticed it, but it could've just been the fact that I stopped moving and made the craft appear to be slowing down too. But I sped home, and as soon as I would've come parallel to the craft it was gone. Other things I had noticed while driving where the orange lights near the rear. The day was cloudy so it was very visible against the gray sky. No other strange behavior aside from just coasting beneath the clouds. Very strange!

Leland, IL
I was driving south on rt23 after just turn off rt34. I noticed the Sun in the east skies above the crop field and thought about how great that would be as a photo so i took images of the sun, realizing that my window was up and would probably make the picture not what I wanted I put the window down and took a few more images of the east sky. As i was uploading the images I noticed a spot, since I had changed the color filter on them to negative. I became curious and looked at the others and on the normal photos there is a bright green spot and you see it travel from the top of the crops up to the southern skies and then I had one out of focus but the shape was not a spot but looked like the planet Saturn. All spots were that same green and turned a black when in the negative filter. I was not able to really look at what I was shooting because I was driving though it moves in elevation while the shot is taken at a very close same position from my window.

Seattle, WA
I observed an extremely bright light in the night sky above Seattle through my south-facing bedroom window. The light was blue-green in color, and moved eastward across the sky at a rate of speed I have never seen in an object before. At first, I thought it may have been a meteorite, but there was no trail behind the light and it was moving in what seemed to be a controlled manner. It also was moving faster than any "shooting star" I have ever seen. There was no sound associated with the object. Planes frequently fly over my location, but there were no other lights observed and, again, it was moving too fast to be a plane.

Athol, ID
Appeared in clear sky. Were round and orange globes. The first three drifted off one at a time in to the clouds and two more appeared at different times. The first three hovered, but the last two went slow across the sky and the very last one meandered slowly across the sky and then went quickly in to the sky. Three security guards witnessed the fifth aircraft. The first four were witnessed by a former police officer, and the fifth was witnessed by two former police officers and a Marine.

Seattle, WA
Saw strange light that lit up entire sky, Did not see a specific bright object, looked like lighting but it wasn't raining and Seattle doesn't get lightning. Flash had a bit of color in it, a little pinkish as it faded. Illuminated entire skyline. Flash happened twice in one minute, and then did not happen again.

Pojoque, NM
• Sighting above Pojoaque, nm, in the mountains over Las Alamos, nm. 9:40-10:05 pm. From binoculars they looked like an egg shape objects with red and blue blinking lights, when I tried to take a picture I got a clear view through my camera lens of a larger shaped aircraft not egg shaped, but more of a triangular shape with lights clearly blinking bright red, blue and possibly some pink. Very beautiful but when I snapped to take the photo, nothing showed up. There was another person with me who has seen these several times before. • There were three to four objects in the area, none of which could be identified as stars. These we’re clearly very different.

Staten Island, NY
Driving NNW on Tompkins Avenue, towards Vanderbilt Ave., in Staten Island, NY (where I live), at about 21:50 (9:50 PM) on Sunday, October 8, 2017, I saw an array of maybe 8 to 10 orange lights, arranged roughly in the shape of a parallelogram, floating across the night sky. The lights were larger than stars or the flashing lights on the wingtips of airliners, and they were moving along in formation. I captured the phenomenon on my dashcam; you can view the video here: http://ammaze.net/video/orange-lights-in-night-sky.mp4 The map in the opening frame shows my location and direction. The lights are first visible right after 21:50:55 -- keep your eyes trained on the sky above road. You can see them floating left to right when I'm stopped for a red light. They continue to be visible after the light turns green. My best guess is that these were photography drones; see, e.g., http://www.zdnet.com/article/500-intel-drones-dance-in-the-night-sky/ Thank you.

Stockton, CA
At approximately 8:00 P.M. this evening (10/7/17), I saw two bright lights in the Eastern sky. Being a keen observer of the night sky, I noticed that they looked out of place. They were like stars, stationary, but they quickly faded, simultaneously! I thought this very strange. Even though my wife was outside as well, I was the only one to witness this phenomenon.

Vienna, VA
We live near Dulles airport and often see planes from either Reagan National or Dulles flying overhead, but they fly at a much slower rate of speed than this object, and we can hear them. This object was not only much, much faster than any aircraft, it was absolutely silent. It flew up and behind cloud cover, and instantly disappeared. We did not see any glow through the clouds. It could not have been a meteorite/shooting star, as it was arcing up instead of down. We only saw it for a couple of seconds, but that was long enough for us to know it was not like anything else we have ever seen.

Beavercreek, OH
Saturday evening my Wife, Daughter and I were outside checking out the neighbors Halloween decorations. The sun had completely set and there was a small amount of fog settling in. There were clouds just above the horizon. We saw a set of two lights in the West sky near the area of Kettering climbing at a slow rate from South to North. These lights were an equal distance apart and continued that way throughout the sighting. About 5 seconds later there were two more sets. This continued for approximately 3 minutes with a total of 10 lights all making the same movement. The lights were steady red (not flashing) and no sound could be heard.

Chandler, AZ
We saw 2 lights that seemed to be a helicopter but we didn't hear any noise. There was no flashing wing or tail light. Just an orangish light. I was going to take a picture or movie with my phone, but didn't think of it fast enough.

I saw 3 white lights in a row come from high in north sky they stayed in formation then came down to just above the tree level and traveled south in a straight line.

Cunningham, KS
I was driving west bound on HWY U-400, Mile Marker 158 in Kansas early morning on 10/07/17 at 0505 when I saw a green cloudy oval size of a full moon come out of no where right in front of me in the sky. It was oddly strange to me that it popped up so quickly and vanished in less then a second. It was just a perfect timing that it popped up I happen just to be staring at that very location in the sky.

Kalispell, MT
I have been witnessing low flying craft for the past couple of months. 2 sometimes 3 crafts that are formation in nature. Flashing blue red and yellow lights balls that are either separate at first and then they gather together after a short amount of time. A good description would be a number of different colored balloons that you hold. The craft flies around at about the treeline level totally silent then quickly ascends up when departing. The craft normally approach from the NW and departs from the same way on which they came. I live on a hill so I have a good vantage point on the valley.
