Vadnais Heights/White Bear Township, MN
Aircraft hovered over roadway as we approached, we overtook it at 60 MPH. After we passed it it strafed left and right a few times then headed West. It appears to be drone, however, as I drone pilot, I did not recognize the shape or lights at all. It did not strobe in the way that a normal drone or manned aircraft would. Everyone in the vehicle saw it as well. Light pattern was Whites on the outside, with red and Green in the middle. Like this -> W R G W Aircraft appeared to be about 1 meter in width and flying at an altitude of 100' A drone in that size category is many thousands of dollars (and difficult to fly) which would place it in the professional category, since no events or construction are going on in the area, it would be unusual for an aircraft such as that to be in there area and flying at night and over a road (both of which require extensive permits from the FAA).

I first noticed 2 distinctive lights. one red and one green. The red light was in the upper left and the green light was to the bottom right. The lights were solid, then they began to blink. Both started blinking in a pattern that was frequent in wavelength like that of a plane, but then they started blinking independently instead of at the same time. Then the green light went out and the red light started moving up and down erratically and very precisely. Then the green light came back on and blinked very erratically and the red went off. It then flew overhead at incredible speed from the north sky to the south sky and descended out of view. When it flew overhead, it was pure silence. My friend who also saw it accounts that he saw blue and white lights too. He was certain he saw them, but I am certain I did not. We both watched very intently. No craft was actually seen, only two lights.

Same sphere turned white, navy blue, black then invisible. Size no bigger than a small medical tablet A sphere with big rivots and a central band. Formed a triangle under Canis major, then next night was down and left of dipper. Could be a satellite, but the coloration of light reflected would not coinside with the colors that were represented. Witness indicates that the date above is approximate. PD

On two occasions, we attempted to telephone the source of this report, and she hung up, both times. Probably a hoax. PD

My wife and I had our neighbors over for dinner. It was about 9:30 or 10:00. When my neighbor saw this thing just appear. It was a black triangle the moon was coming up so you could see the outline on the sky. It had a grid of lights across the bottom, larger ones on the edges. They were flashing and changing all colors. It moved north to south over the top of the houses in my back yard. Much bigger than an airplane. It moved steadily and silently across the sky at a good rate of speed. We watched it just slowly fad out and disappear at a steady speed. Their was three of us that witnessed it and it lasted about 15 seconds.

Billings, MT
UFO sighted 9/7/2017 over west end Billings, MT, at 10:00 P.M., until 11:00 P.M.. UFO was egg shaped, glowing grey-blue, with flashing lights (red, blue, green). UFO had ring of small white lights around circumference in 3 bands. UFO hovered in place for close to 30 minutes, then slowly moved west and north out of site. UFO was observed with naked eye, but required spotting scope to see details mentioned above. Skies were clear with a little smoke caused by fires in Montana.

I honestly have never seen anything like it before and was shocked, as it was a busy evening and there were many people out and about. We watched and observed for as long as we could, whilst driving, and when our view was blocked by trees for a few minutes, we could not longer see the UFO.

Winter Springs, FL
I saw a few strange orange lights outside my window. I live near Orlando International Airport so several planes fly overhead every hour, these lights did not look at all like planes or helicopters. A plane will have a red light on the left wingtip, a green light on the right wingtip, and a strobe light in the center. This was a solid orange light, there were several of them traveling from East to West, and they appeared to be at relatively low altitude. There were also planes in the sky at the time and these lights were drastically different, they sort of looked like flares but were traveling completely horizontally. When one passed particularly close I thought it sounded like a rocket engine but it could have been the sound of a jet passing overhead. A buddy of mine saw them outside his house about 15 minutes later; he lives nearby and also saw the orange lights traveling horizontally East to West. Video: https://youtu.be/n251RhdLho8

Maison, WI
Not military. Not drone. Not a bird. Not a helium filled balloon, because likely that would have gained altitude. The flattening part was weird, like a plate was on edge vertically, spinning around on the vertical axis occasionally. If that wasn't enough, the thing's twin followed, maybe a few miles behind, following the same path; same slow speed, altitude, direction, silence and occasional spin. My friend witnessed this as well.

Salt Lake City, UT
A group of us were outside smoking cigarettes when we looked east & saw what looked like a bright star up over the capital area the all of a sudden 2 more star objects shot out of it really fast in different directions then would stop and freeze looking like stars in the sky then they would move all over the sky really fast in all directions that aren't normal and when they moved there was like a little flame looking aspect behind it but when it stopped the flame would disappear and they would just look like bright stars in the sky. It was really weird & they would stop and go like that all over the sky. Then as we all stood there all watching stund 1 by 1 they just disappeared. It was the absolute most crazy thing I've ever seen.

Also noticed lots of aircraft activity around them, but they were much higher in the air crafts. We have assigned an arbitrary time above. PD

Report suggests that the source was a senior member of law enforcement, but the person we telephoned, although a senior member of a law enforcement organization, denies having submitted the report. Hoax, we believe. PD

Middle of the day. Walked outside, looked up and there it was. It was floating through the air, a dark S-shaped object, maybe teen feet or so in size - maybe a half mile or less in the sky. These are guesses to size and distance. It tumbled through the sky, and also, the ends of the S would contract at times, then go back to an S shape - and also I did notice that it would also rotate horizontally, and when it did - it seemed as if it was 2-dimensional on that plane, otherwise tubular. At one time during the horizontal, I noticed a kind of yellow semi-transparent square projection shape go over it, in a flash of time. It strangely enough seemed to go directly over my field of view. I thought about it later, that I was feeling the wind from the opposite direction. As I had plenty of time, time of encounter 30+ seconds, I could not see or identify what it is, even observing it intently, and it did not appear to be a balloon of any kind. There are no balloons sold in any local stores that match this. I then went on the internet to look for "s-shaped ufo's" and I found some others that have had similar sightings: http://www.nuforc.org/webreports/135/S135145.html https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/s-shaped-ufo.494236/ Something about this seemed...organic, intelligent, and intentional - rather than simply a piece of trash or balloon floating in the wind. I say this with all skeptical discernment, as it seemed to be tumbling, as it were-as a means of movement or self-propelling, such as the flagella of a cell moves, rather than simply being an object moved by a current. Unfortunately with these kinds of things, it just doesn't sound that impressive - I understand, as it probably would not to me if I read this report of a UFO without experiencing it directly my self. I am relaying this to see if anyone else has ever seen something like this, or has any ideas ... this is all true my story which I share. I do not have any cameras or phone to take a picture, sorry - but the video of the other sighting looks very similar, even exactly - except for the addition of the other details which I had observed.

Aurora, CO
Time Seen: 8:01 PM End time: 8:03 PM (Approximate time) Facing North-East Location: Aurora, CO I was cleaning my new car up, and it was starting to get dark, so I went ahead and started to clean the windows. After throwing some garbage away in a bag, I placed on the sidewalk next to my vehicle, I looked up at the sky randomly for some odd reason facing North East. I watched three airplanes fly ahead. But there was a fourth one… The fourth one was glowing a golden hue and had a smaller orb of golden light flashing on the upper left side. This smaller orb of light looked to be detached from the object but followed it in sync. It was glowing and the golden lights were together in a curved disk shape at the bottom of the object. It was moving to the right quite slowly, then it stopped dead in its tracks. I sat there trying to calculate what I was seeing. Something was off about it. The other planes passing by had white and red flashing lights flying one direction, but this one stopped above the neighborhood above the tree line, lower in the level of the airplanes flying! past in the sky. I then said aloud, "Alright, I see you B--- and I'm not afraid. If you are paranormal prove it!." And it then moved to the left! The left side instead of the right! it commenced moving side to side as if it was proving its existence to me. I dropped everything that I was doing, ran inside to get my mom (She believes in UFO's and has seen some) I ran back out before she did and it was gone. That was how I lost sight of the UFO. I made a digital art of what the UFO looked like so you can have a better visual preference. Sorry if it's not the greatest, I tried hard to re-paint it from memory. https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a27d24_85333b0e7ff54a17b088d56b9b8beb35~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_927,h_433,al_c,q_80/file.jpg We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she seemed to us to be exceptionally eloquent and sober-minded. We suspect that she is exceptionally reliable as a witness. PD

Once a few disappeared more appeared from the ground level. Deadly silent, no clouds, bright starry night, no light trail, smell or sound. Lasted around 5 minutes.

I saw a red light in the air traveling pretty close to the ground. There were no flashing lights to signal it was an airplane. It was moving way faster than anything I've seen before. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Seattle, WA
Looking E,SE into the Seattle sky from Magnolia where I reside, I noticed a large red ball which resembled a planet. I took a photo of it because it seemed odd and out of place as I had never seen this before. This was red in color like Mars, but is was not where Mars would have been in the night sky on September 6th, and it did not move. After I took the photo, around 3.5 – 4 minutes later, I returned and it was gone. Source of report fails to indicate the date of the event, and provides no contact information. PD

3 miles east of lax I stepped outside at night, looked up to see a shrinking flaming orb moving slowly until it disappeared in front of a star.

Nanakuli, HI
Just after sunset, on the leeward coast, I observed a 20 degree wide shaft of deep blue light from approximately where the sun set to the zenith. I thought at first it was a military laser effect which I am familiar with, but it was too wide a beam and I believe it must be related to the aurora like phenomenon. It was not a cloud. It was deep blue and distinct. It disappeared after about 20 minutes. It was probably a plasma like effect in the atmosphere. It was unusual. Probably not an aurora, given the time of the sighting. Possible shaft of sunlight?? PD

Warsaw, IL
I was in my garage, when all of a sudden, there was a giant sonic boom it knocked a few things off the wall it was so big. i immediately ran outside to investigate because i could hear a jet off in the distance. when i stepped out of the garage and looked in the direction of the jet sound, i saw a giant silver sphere, just hovering. It was about a half mile away and maybe a hundred yards up in the air. My son was standing in the doorway of our house and i said, "check this out it's a ((word deleted)) ufo!!" he took 2 steps out of the house and it moved to the right a little bit and just faded away. It didn't speed off, it just literally faded away.
