I am not exactly sure what I saw, but it was a grid of red lights (20-30) filling approximately 1/4 of the sky outside my window in what appeared to be a pattern. There was also a very strange symmetrical cloud formation that was slightly illuminated by the lights, and it appears the clouds had been precisely cut into a pattern of diamonds. As I watched, the lights faded away along with the noise. I have tried to come up with an explanation of what I saw, such as reflections, etc, but I cannot.

Some were red, orange, blue and could change colors. All the dogs in the area were going crazy. This is the first mass sighting I've ever seen, and it was just a couple days after seeing the bright orange light hover across the sky. Will keep updating if I experience anything else.

Object viewed while driving, was able to keep object in sight as I returned home and summoned a family member, and also a neighbor to observe. Object was triangular shaped with rounded edges instead of points. bottom of bi-cornered side had lights changing and in a chasing pattern. Object seemed to hover for 10 minutes, then moved towards east, returned and then disapeared.

Around 8:30 pm pacific standard time a bright flashing light was spotted about the house. The object hovered for several minutes before changing colors. The colors go faint as the object moves.. Minutes later several fast low flying airplanes appeared for at least 15 minutes. At least three Unidentifiable aircrafts where spotted in the sky.

Counted at least 9 triangle or V shaped objects, seemingly hovering then moving in formation slightly forward then backward or shifting side to side. Some would sporadically move extremely fast almost appearing as falling stars, then stopping abruptly.

Female when outside to smoke cigarette. Noticed a red and green flashing light in the air. High, suitable plane height. It flashed slowly from red to green, and back again for several moments. Female called her boyfriend outside to look. As he got outside, it went to red only and then suddenly dropped immediately straight down and out of view at high speed. Much much faster than a landing plane or a helicopter could safely do. Worth noting that not long after a legitimate plane flew across the sky at normal plane speed with normal blinking lights. Completely different to what we had just witnessed. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I was coming at 7:45 pm from the grocery store. I was walking to my apartment carrying a water pack so I stopped to rest and looked up when I saw 3 lights twinkling just like an airplan, but were moving erraticaly. As if they were 3 separate objects. They were fast and looked extremely close to me. I took video because it is not the first time of sighting these kind of lights.

Standing in my driveway looked at the bright 1/2 moon in the southern sky at dusk. Saw a yellowish circle just underneath the Moon. It has hovering and seemed to be a long distance away. I looked at my 79 year old father in law and asked, "How's your eyes"? He said "fine". I said "look at the Moon". He said "what the?" We looked at each other. When we looked back it was gone. I was pretty excited. Him not so much. Clearly something was up there.

Pottstown - Trenton, PA
Just after 6 o'clock September 27th, I spotted a bright red cylinder light strait ahead. We were at 2700 feet flying 121 mph with a ground speed of approx 90 mph against a head wind. I called Approach and let them know we have a aircraft 12 o'clock at the same altitude. Approach replied they do not see any aircraft on the radar. I told them that's great but were looking right at it. Just before it moved away to the east (same direction we were flying...into the wind) I asked my Daughter to get a picture before it disappeared. We have a still and video. The whole object was very bright red almost laser bright then went to white. It was pill shaped standing vertical. It did not change its heading or altitude it moved faster than we were traveling away from us to the east. We spotted it over Trenton moving east. Hurricane Marie was off the coast. It disappeared into one of the bands.

My sister in-law was here from Texas and we had walked out on to the back porch to get some fresh air when we both looked up in the sky and saw a these two triangles that were medal looking and no sound just hovering in the sky. I said what is that and my sister in-law said I don’t know. We watched them for about 30 minutes and I said I was going to get my husband to see this and when I walked in the house and walked back out they were both gone. They made no noise and were just there and gone that fast.

No noise was coming from craft, they were very bright silver in color. At one time stood Motionless in sky. I got my iphone camera out, was on live view so did not get the pictures I thought I would get. What I saw with my eyes was not what the iphone recorded. Do not understand this. Again the Farm Bureau rep talked we agreed we would write this off who would believe us. The UFO was trailer shape 20X40 at the most no noise or lights. Speed leaving was not from this world, gone in the blink of the eye. I did call Cherokee Sheriff dept , they came out gave report. Called the FAA at 10:54 and talked to Torrance L Branch operation mananger 770-210-7622. Also sent him pictures of What I saw. Again they turn up as little bright patches in sky, this is not what your eyes see. When you first see a UFO you do not know how to react, it is something the mind does not Know how to sort out. Contacted National UFO Reporting Center, talked to Peter Davenport by phone and filing this report. Awaiting word from FAA if this was in radar in the Atlanta,Ga area. We are not alone. Thank you ((personal information deleted)) We spoke with the witness via telephone, and he seemed to us to be quite serious-minded. PD

I was boredly watching the sky, waiting for the bus. The sky was only a patch, not a big open area. Since I'm an astronomy lover, I thought to myself, "What if I saw a UFO?". I had seen an assumed UFO two years back, but it didn't look anything like this one. Anyways, I suddenly noticed this one white, shortish cigar object flying across the patch of sky slightly faster than a plane. The other people around were busy socializing. I narrowed my eyes, hearing my heart thump in my chest as I grew more excited. I grabbed my phone, and the cigar-shaped object was almost out of view. I opened my camera as fast as I could, but it was too late, as the object had already flown out of view. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I am a pilot and aircraft owner. I had to go to Tennessee on Wednesday for a service call for work. I departed from my home airport at Essex, Maryland, at 6:30am, just prior to dawn in a clear, still morning. About 20 minutes into the flight, I was over Liberty Reservoir, headed toward Frederick, a couple of minutes before sunrise, and I saw two white lights hanging in the sky in the distance directly in front of me. Not unusual to see inbound or outbound air traffic for BWI or Dulles, I didn't think much of it. I am aware the eye sometimes plays tricks on us, when it comes to airliners; sometimes they seem to be just floating in the air, while they're actually flying typically between 180 knots and 240 knots inbound or outbound. That's what these were doing, seemingly hanging still in the sky. Plain white lights. If I had to guess an altitude and distance, I would say 10-15 miles away at about 6,000 to 10,000 feet. Then one of them started to move. Up and away toward the northwest very quickly, growing progressively fainter and fainter for about 15 seconds, before moving completely out of sight. About a minute later, the second one did exactly the same thing.

September 27, 2017: 5:00 am I had a supernatural experience. I was laying in my bed, facing my art room. Something bright outside made me look to the window, I moved my neck forward to see a better because it just look odd. All of a sudden, the light started getting brighter and brighter until it exploded, coming inside my art room on the left side moving forward until it was floating in the center of the room. This bright light turned to a small circle, maybe like a golf ball size. It went in my bedroom, stood still for few seconds. Then all of a sudden the light went flying across the room at extreme speed and went through the wall and disappeared.!!!!! The light was a super clear clear light not yellow just bright white. It scared me so much…. I was not able to say a word; I was kinda paralyzed for few, then I started screaming… Woke up my husband we checked outside there were no signs of anything.

I went out with the friends from the Cafe and I saw in the sky a question mark formed due to clouds in the background of the moon, after I took a photo only then I saw a UFO.

Witnessed a triangular shaped craft in the night sky, while walking to my front door. It moved about 5 degrees one fluid movement; unnaturally fast for a plane or helicopter. It remained in this spot for about a minute before quickly taking off. It had bright red and white lights that moved around the craft on its edges and did not emit any noise, something I also found odd. The speed at which it departed was unlike anything I’ve seen. I’m convinced it was not manmade.

As I was getting off the freeway this blue light was everywhere around me. I looked for the source and saw this just about 30 feet over a hotel... it was a perfect circle the sizeof a V.W bug. On the top and bottom it was blue on the inside was a bright white light rotating clockwise it was illuminating the blue.On top of the blue was a gold shell like a sea shell I saw it for 7 seconds then it beamed away.

I had just turned out the lights to go to bed when I saw what looked like a bright star which then began to move, so I assumed it was a plane's lights in the distance. Soon the light acted unlike any plane or helicopter ever could. The light moved very quickly down up sideways, across. Then it disappeared very briefly but reappeared in a different location. Even though all my windows and door was opened, I heard no sound. I could not sleep most of the night, trying to figure out any good reason what the light could have been.

For 2 nights, starting 9/23 around 9:30pm, I saw a white spherical light on the horizon of NorthWest mountains. Strange large lights would fly above this larger light, and they flashed red, white, blue, and moved far too quickly in a bouncing motion to be an airplane. Living close to the airport I disregarded sightings until 9/25 about 10pm I noticed the larger light was no longer white but orange and had moved farther North. Same colored and shaped smaller lights continued to randomly hover in sparadic movements near orange light, until eventually speeding off in whatever directions or disappearing. 9/27 1am I see that large orange light is moving in circle formation and can also see an odd rectangular shape to light, or at a certain angle seemed like 2 lights determining shape to still be rectangular. I have also noticed that orange light has rocket some small white light from top of light, and moving like a missle (straight in sky) has also left some sort! of chem trail looking cloud for a considerable distance about 5 seconds. At 3:55am I became uncomfortable and sit in a chair on the opposite side of the window, and notice a floating green, white, and blue light that was quickly spinning and moving sporadically different directions. 4:08 green light has now moved South West toward my home in a bobbing or jumping formation. Light continues to weave forward and backward as if trying to hide behind clouds. 4:15am light is stationary every time I look at it, but within 2 secs begins to climb sky in much too fast a speed to be anything considered average. These occurrences are extremely frequent here, and I have spotted them on average 6:7 times per week since 2014 along with many other different descriptions. I can occasionally hear strange humming noise as well when lights come close enough, unlike any aircraft I have heard before. 9/27 absolutely zero stars out due to cloudy and overcast night.

We were stargazing outside of Yuma, Arizona, when an orange orb heading South shot through the sky as we were facing West. The strange part was the huge arching air streams coming from the top and the bottom of the orb. Nothing directly behind the object like a jet would have a contrail, but more like waves of air flowing over and under it. After sighting it in my binoculars, it just disappeared.

I was heading north on main street on my way to work and it was really cloudy and dark . I had to stop at a stop light at 14th and main on my motorcycle. while i wait, I'm glancing around and i notice 2 red lights and 2 green lights to my left about a mile away and a few hundred yards high. at first i thought it was the water tower it was about that high in the air but it was to the left of the tower in the Kilbourne park area. so then I'm thinking could it be a helicopter, but it couldn't be there was no sound and the red and green lights were on top and bottom. at that time it just took off at a fast rate of speed in my direction and actually went over my head. It made no sound. It happened so fast i didn't even think of taking a picture, and i was so scared i sped off without seeing where it went.

I live in Stoneycreek and was watching the sky when I spotted coming from the W (heading NE) a very big and bright orange light, resembling a star. It stayed steady on a linear path, staying solid the entire time. I could tell it was pretty large. I tried taking videos but my phone camera just wouldn't pick anything up. It moved fairly slow, I'm surprised no one else has reported it. Never seen anything like it. I've also seen other strange things before this, like red/blue beams shooting through sky, and also lots of moving objects. Lots of activity to the NE skies. I've also began noticing square indentations on the back of my forearms. Not sure if it's related, but strange considering they would stay for hours at a time and were most indented after waking. There's nothing I would sleep on that would cause it, and it's always the same pattern, same spots.
