Both of my boys, ages 5 and 7 alerted me and my brother-n-law of some lights in the sky. As soon as we looked up we all witnessed a cluster of spherical shapes moving in a southerly direction traveling along the front range. We didn’t get an exact count of the objects, but my brother-n-law and I agreed between 12-15. Each object was red, blue or white in color. Some were larger than others, but unknown if they were flying at different elevations. There was no sound. It was partly cloudy at the time and I noticed they were traveling under the clouds. The whole experience lasted about 1.5 minutes. The largest sphere I noticed was white and looked like a glowing bubble with something glowing in the center. They were clustered together at various distances, but they were traveling in a v-shaped pattern. We watched them until they were out of site in the south.

Woke up exactly at 2:40, I woke my boyfriend up so we could get some water. At 2:44, we both heard a low and fast flying piece of machinery fly east to west. It started and was gone in 2-3 seconds. We we're both shocked at the noise. We saw no lights from the road. Just darkness. Do UFOs make noise? We've never heard anything like it. Wi-Fi in house has been down since event. Animals were alert as well.

I was walking our dog and saw 2 orange lights coming over from the north. At first I thought they were helicopters with their spotlights dimmed. They spread out some then the one to my right went straight up. It was a clear night with high cirus clouds and it made it into the clouds in I'd guess 5-8 seconds. No sound from either one. I was hoping a car would come by so someone else would see it. I saw a man walking away from me and I yelled at him to look up. He came over and we watched waiting for the other to also go up into the clouds. It stayed at I'd guess 1500 feet for another minute or so then it also went straight up into the clouds. I had a hard time keeping the other man's attention on the orange lights, I typically carry a pistol and he kept wanting to talk about my gun. I finally told him we can talk about guns anytime, but this was once in a lifetime. The next night when I went to walk our dog he and 2 other young people were at the sa! me spot looking for the UFO's to return, so apparently he was paying more attention to them than I'd thought. I considered Chinese lanterns but the speed they it when they went vertical had to be something like mach 3. No sonic booms though. No structure, just the lights were visible to us. On the video I tried to take with my cell phone there are small white lights dropping down which I'd not noticed as I was trying to video them. They may be some sort of optical illusion though, they're bright white, the first looked like a falling star then the others were smaller. I don't know what they are, I videoed the next night to see if they were reflections or something and they didn't show up on that video but it seems I'd have noticed them had they actually been like shooting stars so I do think it's something unrelated to the orange lights.

I let my dog out this evening, while waiting for him to finish, i admired the night sky and saw what looked like a star moving. I stared at it for a while in disbelief and then it started moving again, it made several different shapes or patterns while blinking in several different colors. The object made a triangle, a circle, semi-circles, s and c patterns as well as move back and forth. The object looked like it was communicating with a similar shaped object via these patterns. The other object looked like it only had one color (light orange) but also blinked as it moved. The second object only moved after the first one, it looked like the second one was acknowledging whatever the first object was trying to communicate. I wittnessed this behavior for over an hour, I went back into my house and grabbed my wife and son to verify what i was looking at. My wife told me it was an airplane, so I showed her 3 airplanes moving in the night sky, I asked her to look again and after a few moments she reported seeing exactly what i was seeing, we watched for a few more minutes until she got too scared to continue looking at it. I went back inside to get my father, he did not care and stayed in bed so i woke my mother and asked her to come outside with me and look at something. My mother saw what my wife and i saw and was actually the one to point out the second object, she does not know what they are but pointed lo ut that they looked like they were both doing the same thing. I called a ufo reporting hotline which ive never done in my life. I was told to get wittnesses to the event, which i did. I was also told to identify stars and constellations using a smartphone astronomy app which i also did. At this time the second object was no longer in The sky. The first object apeared to be in the vicinity of Camelopardalis, however I could not place the object against anything definitive on the app. Im 31 years old, I look at the n! ight sky quite often but ive never seen anything like this bef! ore i am confident this was not an airplane or a twinkling star, ive seen both. to add to my background i am also an eagle scout. It is 1am now and im taking the time to do this report because i believe what i saw.

Me and my boyfriend were driving home and I looked in the sky there were 2 bright lights against the clear starry black sky, it literally looked like a cars headlights in the sky. Two round bright lights right next to each other brighter than all the satrs around. I asked my boyfriend if he saw them too and he did. You have to think I live basically on a mountain and we were in the valley before my home about to drive up the mountain, these lights were up way higher than any of the trees on the top near my house. Once we get to the top it's all fields and trees, we looked around the sky everywhere and by now the lights should have been right above us from where we first saw them a mere 4 minutes before, and they were gone, just disappeared without a trace .

One evening I woke up to an extremely bright light shining into my tent. It is abnormal to see anyone in back country that time of year, but occasionally I come across bow hunters. I began speaking that I was in tent, it was not vacant. (I've had people mistake me for a friend they were trying to catch up with as well). But no one answered. The light stayed there, lighting up the entirety of the interior. After a couple minutes I was fully awake. I thought maybe it was the moon, but them remembered I had seen the moon earlier before going to bed. The moon was not that bright and in a different area of the night sky. Confused I continued to speak to what could only be a bright flash light coming through the fabric. I explained there were "other great tent sites with flat/cleared ground just up the trail. After a few attempts with no answer I decided to go out. The light was too bright to ignore. When I walked out of the tent, all the ground was illuminated with bright white light. There was no sound, none at all. In front of me, maybe 30 yards and 30 yards up was a very bright light. No shape to it. The light was brighter in the center and faded out as it hit the ground. I am an intelligent and well educated, but I did not know what I was looking at. I still cannot properly explain it. The light was well above the few trees and was silhouetting the trees in front of me between myself and it. I stared, just curious. There are no roads near me for miles. The moon is to my left and fairly high in the sky by this point. It lit the clouds and silhouetted the mountains across the saddle. The light was slightly to my left. It lit everything around me. I have little fear and walked towards it slowly. I was very confused. I didnt ask any questions, not even to myself other than, "what the heck". I got closer and only see light with darkness behind it. No real form or shape, just light. After several minutes with no noise, it moved back away from me and to the left. It went very very slowly over maybe 1,500ft of a saddle. The light became dimmer and dimmer as it moved but still visible. After maybe two minutes it resembled a dim flash light. Then 1 second later it was out. I was left looking at the silhouetted mountain and was fully back in my typical mountain darkness. I stared and listen for a several minutes longer. I was completely perplexed. I originally walked out of my tent expecting to see a person or two with very bright headlamps, maybe back country rangers. But I saw nothing but this hugely bright light coming from above the few trees there. I had picked the campsite because of the beautiful view yards from the ridge where I could see the valley of Apens changing.. I still have a photo of my view from earlier that afternoon looking out from inside my tent. This completely perplexed me. With very little moon light I made it to my tent and decided I wouldnt tell anyone. What was there to tell? There was zero sense. I told my wife when I got down eventually. I think it was an after thought over dinner and wine one night. Now after her asking about it again, the memory came right back. The memory of it and the feeling I had then of complete confusion.

Bakersfield, VT
At 9pm we saw an unknown craft hovering in the skies north of Bakersfield, vt. It appeared to be saucer shaped and had red, green, and white flashing lights. When we looked through binoculars we saw another one to the right of the first. Both seemed to be hovering in place. Stayed there for several hours. A neighbor has seen them in same place at night for several nights.

I was crossing California street, heading north on Octavia in San Francisco the night of September 21, 2017. I noticed the crescent moon in the western sky and quickly snapped a walking picture as I crossed the street. I didn't notice anything in the sky at the time I snapped the picture, nor immediately afterwards. Once I finished crossing the street, I noticed this strange object in the sky of my photo, but again, nothing was in the sky. I somehow captured this thing by chance on my phone's camera. Location is California and Octavia Sts in San Francisco, facing west. Time is 20:02pm. We suspect a lens flare. PD

Saw one object first looked like a star and it was still clear outside. Then turned into a fireball and looked lik the sun that’s when I figure it was something else. It was just floating in the air. Suddenly started moving slow and changing with these beautiful colors. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Amaze and confused. It’s like I’m actually watching a Ufo. Blue , red, white colors not like planes flash but more like from left to right slow flash and more red then the other colors. Trying to blend in with the sky.

I was taking my dog outside at 5:25 am. to urinate, it was a clear sky I was admiring the big and little dippers, when I noticed a oval shaped object zig zagging erratically! It would move slow then fast then dart to the left backwards then fast straight ahead back again then shot off north east then disappeared! So help me God!

Sitting outside when we noticed what seemed to be a star bouncing around. Grabbed my iPhone to take photos and use Stargazer App. With the naked eye looked like a star. Zoomed into the object and took about 20 photos of the object as it changed shape and color.

Traveling on Braswell Road at 10:30ish ((p.m.)), it was very dark, over treetops seen lime green rectangular shape flash then flash again in sequence very quickly. Lost sight due to trees for a second continued looking and the lights were gone. I can not come up with an explanation of what I seen. I will never forget.

I was outside having a cigarette, when I noticed two brightly-lit Orange orbs coming over the tree line from the southern direction in the area of where Selfridge Air base is. So I quickly got my phone out and snap the photo, after realizing it was just on picture I switched it to video and started filming. As I was filming there was a series of these bright orange silent orbs continuously coming from the south heading north to me they looked about 5000 ft in altitude and where about the size of two airliners and traveling at a speed three times that of an airliner. Sometimes they would be in pairs and sometimes there would just be one but I films them going right over top of me completely silent to the north towards Port Huron for about 10 minutes. And even my neighbor said that those could not be any type of Chinese lanterns or drones for that matter. I contacted local police and they said that there was a candle light visual going on in the area but when I ! investigated into that they said they never released anything in the air. I'm still waiting on answers from Selfridge to see if they had any operations going on. But other than that, there is no other known or publicized activities that we're going on that night that would explain what they were. I hope that there were others with video or witness testimony, because there is no way that all those big bright anomalous objects flew over and nobodu else notice. And if it were known craft the air base should have radar record. If they will even disclose such info.

South Saint Paul, MN
On September 20th at about 9:45 PM in South St. Paul, Minnesota, I witnessed what I would describe as two dimly lit reddish orbs traveling from north to south at a moderate speed. They looked to be about the size of my index fingernail, held at arm’s length. I would estimate their altitude at 600 feet above the Mississippi River Basin, as I was on a bluff looking east over the river. Their angle above the horizon was near 15 degrees. Also, they seemed to tumble over each other as if they were linked somehow. About 45 seconds elapsed from the time I first saw them until the objects went out of sight. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite serious, and sober-minded. PD
