Nashua, NH
Saw bright white light low in the sky driving southbound on Everett Turnpike near exit 5. When we drove closer we noticed the light was not moving. As we drove by we noticed it was a black solid triangle shaped object that was hovering at a slight angle. There were red and greenish blue lights blinking around the outside edges of the triangle. The bright white light came from the center. We reversed direction at the next exit and drove back to exit 5. The object was now farther away and hovered just below the tree line for about 5 minutes, before disappearing. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Faint, glowing, almost misty sphere of white light was seen hovering and zig-zagging through the sky. The movement was continuously alternating and changing directions. The spead of the light would fluctuate as the patterns changed. Patterns moved in an eastward direction.

Claymont, DE
While going for my nightly walk, in the sky I noticed three sets of four lights in the clouds (12 lights total). The lights moved in a clockwise circular pattern, drifted out to a fixed perimeter, and drifted into the center of the circular formation. There were three sets, two of which, when at their fullest 'bloom' touched each other. The other seemed to be separated, from the group. I was alone on my walk, but there were other people in the area. I did not ask them if they noticed the lights, because my neighborhood is not always the safest place.

Fredericksburg, VA
More than 10 triangular desk like objects flying low and blinking red and white lights. Often giving off a brighter light for a long periods of time, and then blinking. A brighter white light appeared masking the entire shape of one of the saucers. Two of them were hovering in place momentarily before taking off in the same direction followed by eight more. This was on Courthouse Road and Levels Road.

Warrington, PA
Oval white light moving in random, inconsistent circular patterns. It is not a spotlight, drone or aircraft. Light levels in the area make it difficult for photos or videos to be taken of the event. It has also been seen by a friend in Warminster.

I was shooting video of the rising moon, when something round flew into frame. It changed direction at the moon and exited at a different angle then it entered. I am a photographer and shoot the night sky often. I have cropped the video and observed it in a negative filter, it is something. Posted video to Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/james.mccue/videos/10213795041540086 I would be happy to send original file for analysis.

I was in a school parking lot, had gotten out of my car to speak to my husband who was in a car behind me. I looked up, noticing the lights. It was traveling due south and quite bright. The view was free from the glare of streetlights (or the full moon). I looked up and saw the craft which was quite low and prior to becoming hidden by a tree line, I told my husband to look up. There were white and green colored lights on the sphere.

Jackson, OH
On the evenings of 10-6 and 10-7-2017, we watched a light in sky, moving in counterclockwise motion, pattern never changed, always moving in circular motion, very fast, moving east. Almost looked like a spotlight moving in circular motion, but didn't appear to be coming from above or below. Neighbors witnessed same thing. Lasted from 7pm till around 9:30 pm both evenings. We live on a farm and this was right over one of our pastures which has no homes, buildings or light near it. We attempted to video it, but it would not show up on video.

Yuma, AZ
Driving West of Yuma on I 8 headed to Calexico, Ca, I looked to my left and visibly could see a flashing Red lite blinking and a white lite flashing flying rite beside my husband's head out the window! We both have spotted several Drones small & Big in the last month or so Every where and in 4 different States now with our Company OTR Truck Drivers, so this wasn't new so I took several pictures this time! We decided to take our break on the exit ahead to scope this all out !! Being fascinated with the sky started looking harder more frequently at this point of the evening and discovered for 100% positive that were actually getting to see either Border Patrol or our nation's government at their finest of the latest Border Wall or something and 3 weird shaped brute lite even a dull kill orange disc looking object above them 1 looked to be a really fast darting object and a real big circle lite zooming in and out of distance from me and 1 object with a round brut! e lite that turns off & on periodically at me that stayed way up in the sky all evening ! The moon was very big and brute all nite and we could see everything that was moving above clearly ! Today I am very skeptical of what my husband and I Both saw last nite and I am not hesitant to say that more Reports of this activity will be filed with the proper authorities today .

Smokey Point Arlington, WA
Oct. 6, 2017 I was photographing a tree and saw a bright orb zip through the cosmos! It came past the moon and to earth, hovering above me. It then hid behind the light post as it split apart into flying ships. See through ships of different shapes. Oval, circles, lots of windows on the different levels. I thought it was a minute or two, but the date time stamps on photos prove that 12 minutes of time elapsed. They had no sound, and were very quick! They disappeared. I posted the photos on Facebook and tried to report this to you once before. There was a see through circle around each ship. Bluish green hue.

Indianapolis, IN
Multiple red lights, in groups of two or more, moving at steady pace from south to north, visible with naked eye, above western half of Marion County, in front of cloud cover. Speed was steady, not fast, not erratic. As they approached thicker cloud cover, we lost sight of them. Overall time span lasted about 11 minutes. They emitted no sound, no flashing or strobes. In each grouping, the individual lights did not alter position within the group, or individually speed up/slow down.

A Strange green orb went over the woods behind my house and behind the tree line and seemed to slowly descend as it went past. Source of report elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. We suspect that the sighting occurred at 11:20 p.m., not a.m., so we have amended the time above. PD

On the night of Thursday, October 5th, 2017, ~10:58-11:15pm, EDT I was in the den, when my wife came in and said, “Look out the side window, there is something there I can’t explain!” As we looked into the NE sky at approximately 45-50 degrees from 0 degrees north, we observed a colorful sphere about the size of a small marble or a large BB at arm’s length seemingly bobbing up and down just above the tree line approximately 45 degrees from the horizon. To the naked eye, it appeared like spherical net lighting that you use on Christmas shrubs or small trees and it looked like it blinked from red to blue (or green) to yellow (or white). We also focused binoculars on it and was the same effect (changing colors spherical net lighting). After scrambling to find my camera (a Cannon T2i with a EF-S 55-250mm lens) and took the following footage and pictures (will be sent). It was the most amazingly beautiful, non-living thing I have ever seen as it appeared to be series of images of different colored balls resembling our planets and/or other colored spheres including Earth so the view with the naked eye and even with the binoculars looked different! As I took several short clips (to make their file sizes small), I was waiting for my battery to die, which it eventually did. One weird thing are the triangular blue and red "reference points" or dots on my images slightly to the left of the pictures and footage. I also noticed that the camera would work sometimes and not others so I kept restarting it. When I was recharging the battery for the Canon, I tried my iPhone 6 which did not provide any discernible images. Later shots about ½ an hour afterwards with my battery charged just enough, I noticed it had moved much as a star would but at an angle up (towards the East up and clockwise), not straight up as most stars would rise. I knew it wasn’t Venus or Mars because as I remember it, Venus and Mars were due to rise at the same time (~5:22am) about 6 hours later that same morning. It did resemble Venus in intensity but not in color. Also, there was no noise coming from the object. When I went to bed around 2:00am it was higher in the sky but still visible. I am currently a High School Physics teacher, posses a BA in Physics and worked on three different NASA contracts in the 1980s and 90s for 5-1/2 years: Space Station Freedom (which never materialized), COBE (Cosmic Background Explorer) @ Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD, and at NASA Headquarters in Washington DC. Also, as part of my MS degree program, I have a Graduate Certification in Space Operations which includes Remote Sensing, Space Environment and Space Operations.

Palm Bay, FL
Driving north on turnpike, notice multiple bright white lights in the sky, east of the turnpike, fairly low. With cell towers and planes in sight as well, I noticed something odd. There were about 3-4 steady, bright white lights and they seemed to be moving around each other in some formation. There were no other indicator lights and they also seemed to be hovering steadily in the same vicinity around each other. I watched this through the tree line for close to 10 minutes, maybe less. Stopped at a rest stop and once we started again, they were gone. Possibly advertising lights?? PD

Reddish orange blinking light traveling low in the south, east to west, stopped then started traveling back towards the east, stopped again for a few seconds then started traveling towards the west, stopped again, appeared to rise or perhaps head in my direction, stopped again then headed east, stopped due south from me then dropped down to the horizon and out of sight

Tonight at 8:56 (or 20:56) while driving from Saginaw to Bay City two aircrafts were spotted, flying in tandem at roughly 350 MPH near Amelith Road Bay City, Michigan. The lights were flashing at 1 millisecond intervals and were white. The crafts were apparently going straight ahead, then turning towards the direction of the airport, where we lost sight.

My dad was driving, when a "trail" of lights where glowing and blinking in patterns of 1 second. We pulled over and lost sight of them. There where about 6-7 of them, and they teleport-ed back and forth. They were red, and round. They made no shape, just a line in the sky.

I'm not sure if it is a UFO I just don't know what it is. I did not notice it until later when I was looking at my photos I took. I was in the car when I took the photo. I have emailed the photo to the email at the bottom of the page.

They appeared to be still for approximately 15 minutes and then began taking off in all different directions and then changing directions. One in particular appeared to be heading straight up, and then turned very fast in a different direction. We then began traveling on Interstate 75 South and we seen several more they as well just appeared to be sitting still for a period of 25 minutes then they appeared to take off going straight up with a very bright light shining at the top as bright as the stars and taking off in different directions.

Monroe, CT
We looked up and saw a bright light in the sky moving very slowly and upwards. The light was circular and in the sky. It did not look like a plane and that is what made us think it was a UFO. It continued to travel over our heads instead of in front of us. We realized it had suddenly started moving very quickly then it literally made a 90 degree turn extremely fast and started moving in the other direction. It was moving extremely fast and was high in the sky and looked very odd. We took a picture of it and when we tried it ended up looking very odd, almost like ripples on the water.
