Grand Junction, CO
Starting Aug. 25 - rose for morning Constitutional around 3:15 a.m. and noticed colorful flashing light far in the distance viewing eastward out my second floor bedroom window, I noticed yet more. My partner and I watched the lights for about an hour through binoculars and I snapped some photos. Going outside the next morning the same time there they were again plus more. Again took photos. There is a consistent formation of three bright white lights evenly spaced, in a straight line pointing east-southeast above the Grand Mesa. There are also two stationary lights on either side rapidly flashing blue green red amber This is third morning I have seen this. Judging by the jet liner that flew far above them, they are an est. 8,000-10,000 feet, situated at various locations and elevations above the Bookcliffs, Grand Mesa and Palisade, Colo., or so it appears from my vantage in downtown Grand Junction.

There were five shooting red circular lights into the sky all following one another with no sound. First appeared to be fireworks but no explosion. Almost in a missile like fashion but again no sound and after about 3 seconds they were gone. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Chapel Hill, NC
I've been watching documentaries on UFOs and I had a weird thought to request a visit. My dog started barking unexpectedly and I didn't know why. I went to sleep and woke up to this on my window. It looks like something pressing a face against the window. It wasn't me and the pressing is on the outside of the window.

Superior, AZ
I was headed east on 60 through Superior, AZ. I took the exit for highway 177 toward Kearny/Winkelman. I was just at the outskirts of Superior heading south. The sun had set; western sky had some glow, but the eastern sky was relatively dark. I'm not sure of the exact time, but think it was around 8 pm. In the sky ahead of me (to the south and slightly east) were 3 yellowish, glowing lights. They appeared more like a soft yellow star, a bit like a candle flame in color. They did not twinkle. They were arranged in a formation that was similar to the stars in Orion's belt. They were about 60 degrees above the horizon. I pulled over to watch and after about 10 seconds, they just faded out. After about 5 seconds, they faded back into view in the same locations. They did not appear to be moving. After another 5 seconds, they faded out again. They did not fly off, nor did they suddenly blink out; they faded out over a second or two. I sat in my truck for another 5 minutes or so and did not see them again. I worked in and retired from the nuclear power industry. I performed root cause investigations, self assessments, audits, and technical reviews of procedures and documents. I ended my career working as a consultant in nuclear power.

Eugene, OR
Sitting outside at about 9:45pm and we see what looks like a night sky full of stars, start moving about in little zips and pauses. Then one seemed to drop down into our atmosphere and a bright flash went off towards our direction, almost like they knew we were watching and then the brightest one went back to what " I'm assuming was its position" playing possum and was just a star again. This is not a hoax or a joke on our part... FACT.. amazing..

Tucson (Pima Co.)(copper mine S of ), AZ
Flying over open pit copper mine in Arizona enroute to Atlanta from San Diego. Looking at copper mine at 35,000 feet, noticed a disk at low altitude near mine. It was a saucer shaped disk. It stood out in the terrain, hovering. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

North Ogden, UT
I saw a white light that was stationary. It was a bright white light that would appear to dim as if it was pointing in another direction. The light stayed in the same spot but at times appeared to be rotating to the left and right and sometimes rotating in a circle. It reminded me of the tower lights at the airport. It was a clear night no clouds in the sky and the moon was out and was not overly bright. There were no aircraft in the sky nor were there any other noises. I watched this for aprox 2 hours and the light just disappeared. I did call the non emergency number for police dispatch and all they said was the deputies were aware of the light on Ben Lomond Peak. This peak does not have any sort of light tower on it. I was too far away to make out anything other than the bright white light. Possible sighting of a star or planet, we suspect. PD

Wendover, NV
5:20am, before sunrise. Looked up and saw a single object, dimly illuminated by a series of lights (8-12?) in a curve, presumably the leading edge of the object as they were in the front of the direction of travel. Lights were white/yellow in color. The object was moving in a westerly direction, proceeded to make a looping turn unlike an airplane or drone would make and head back toward the east before vanishing. Altitude was below 1000 feet and there was no sound at all.

Phoenix, AZ
This could have been nothing or possibly drones, but I was looking over my balcony which faces roughly central and Indian School Rd. There is a multi story building there. I saw what at first from the distance were a few helicopters just hovering, or so I thought. They had ref lights with a flashing Light underneath, moments later one zipped up and then to the right super quick, never seen any drone or aircraft move so quickly. Then the other one zipped off to the other side and darted off behind the building. I was concerned so I called phoenix pd to see if they had drones out and was advised they don't use drones. Was very strange to see this because the lights On them we're so bright and have never seen anything move like that before most drones I have seen don't have lights bright enough to see 1/4 mile away

Girard, KS
I went out to put my dog into his outside pen, and I happened to look into the backwoods that are about 200 feet behind my house. Up in the trees was a very visible orange and red light. It had rays as if it were a miniature sun. It looked as almost if it was hiding behind a couple trees peeking at me. I stood there not knowing what to think, it couldn't of been the sun reflecting off of the moon, because it was in the woods. It couldn't be a light reflection because there was nothing to shine off of high in the woods. It most definitely couldn't be anyone holding a light because first, no one lives back there, and second, it was high in the trees. Our trees in Crawford county are around 30-50ft tall. After standing there for about 2-3 minutes I quickly ran inside to tell my mom and we both went back outside. The light was still there, but either it was going away from us or it was dimming out.

North Creek, NY
On Sunday August 27th sometime between 9.30 and 11pm I, my son and my nephew were outside on the deck at my moms house in North Creek New York. We were observing the stars because it was such a clear and beautiful night. I witnessed and pointed out to the boys that I saw a satellite moving from North to South-southwest. It was a steady bright white light moving very fast with no sound, and none after. At first I thought it might be the space station because I have seen that before on nights when the news reported that it would be flying over. This seemed smaller and slightly less bright than the space station and moved just like a satellite. The boys both witnessed this with me. As the light moved to the south of us it went out and reappeared further south a few times which was strange because there was not a cloud in the sky and stars in the vicinity were still visible. Then it did a sudden 90 degree zig zag type move at a speed that a plane or jet, even military would not be capable of. At least not one that I know of. It was something out of a science fiction movie the way this light was zig zagging, The distance and speed and angle of the turns was Like nothing I have ever seen. After about 15 seconds of these types of lightning speed moves the light became steady again and continued south over the horizon until it was out of sight.

5 to six lights in the ski over north east mountains. Put my hand in the air and used whatever unexplained thing I can do since I was a child...and the lights seemed to go behind some kind of a mist and disappeared.

August 27, 2017 · 9:00 PM · FLASH
Elizabethtown, NY
The sky was perfectly clear, black and the stars and Milky Way were spectacular. Over the western horizon, my husband and I saw a quick flash of light, about the same size as a star or satellite. About 15 seconds later we saw the same flash again, this time it was slightly above where we saw the first flash. We both stared at the sky and waited. The flash continued at inconsistent intervals (10 – 30 seconds) and seemed to be traveling in a straight path going upwards (west horizon to east). When looking closely, the flash consistently mimicked one of a light house – not simply on/off, but appeared to be a light circling around and did not create a distinctly visible beam or tail. After a few minutes, the flash seemed to begin moving in a different direction, toward the south. The flash continued for another minute or two then faded away toward the southern sky.

My girlfriend and I went outside last night around 10:40 to smoke a cigarette. Looking straight out of our porch, (looking East-Southeast) in the distance, we saw a sliver of light, much like the moon coming through the clouds. It was a bright yellowish orange color. I could not say how far away it was, but it was definitely farther than a mile, if not more than that. I pointed it out, and she thought it was the moon. We continued to watch as the object got wider (to about the width of your thumb at arm's length). There were clouds off in the distance, but no clouds that appeared thick enough to hide the moon. It maintained a fairly symmetrical shape. It almost looked like the "angel decoy" flare release from an AC-130 gunship, except if these were flares, they didn't fall, and it looked like a solid object. The object would periodically appear to change size, and hue/brightness, shrinking to a small point, but it was seen to grow in size again, at least once. Eventually, another object of similar color appeared next to the first (or appeared to split off from the first). We continued watching and eventually went in, as the object was moving to the left and became obscured by trees and houses in the neighborhood. We did not hear any sound, but the object appeared to be fairly distant. I was able to get several (grainy) videos with my iPhone 6 Plus. Please contact me if you would like to see these videos.
