Los Angeles, CA
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.

I saw 6 orange lights go by in the sky. At first there was one and I watched it go by until I could no longer see it because it grew dim. Then three more came together by traveling in the same direction. Finally two more came by also traveling in the same direction.

Paterson, NJ
spotted 6 different bright lights in the skies traveling north east over paterson nj, they all followed the same line in the sky and when each light reached a certain point, the light got weaker then they all disappeared at the same point in the sky, at different time intervals. Flaw in time and date above. We have amended both, in order to make the report plausible. Possible hoax?? PD

So once I got home I took my telescope which is only D=60mm F=700mm model RB-60 couldn't zoom in close enough to see shape. Though the light's were lined up in triangle postion. Note: noticed it for three months before this repart.

Pittsburgh, PA
I was driving East on Penn Ave.. As I approached Club One at 6325 Penn Ave, Pittsburgh, PA, 15206, I noticed initially 2 red balls in the sky, as if a group of helicopters were approaching. Then I noticed 2 more. There appeared to be 1 leading and the other 3 following. But, they made no noise. I pulled over in the parking lot that adjoins the gym near the McDonald's. As I parked, I noticed them flying towards the townhomes across the street toward the Shadyside area. I took a few pictures. I was upset I couldn't get video because I just returned from vacation and didn't have enough space for video. Then a larger one appeared which was about 2.5x's there size. But I didn't think I captured it because of the lights from the McDonald's sign. I also captured the 4 smaller ones, and unbeknownst to me, in the 1 picture with the illuminated McDonald's sign, if you enlarge it, you can see the shape of the actual object and the red going from back to front in a wave like design. But behind it, a few days later I noticed a blue glow. When I enlarged the picture there appears to be a blue circular craft. And between the 1st one in that picture and blue craft their appears to be an irregular, rectangular shaped object that is not illuminated. So there were possibly 7 total objects. I have attached the 3 photos. Please magnify for detail. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) I am the 8/26 report from Pittsburgh- 5 orbs in a formation. .. time of event shld be bwtn 21:00-21:30 instead of 15:10 … ((END ADDENDUM))

Westminster, CO
On the evening of Saturday, August 26th, at 8:45pm, some friends of mine and myself noticed a large cluster of tiny color-changing lights in the sky. These lights traveled as if following the same path, and seemed to glisten like a moon shimmering off the top of the ocean. It was a spectacular sight, truly the most amazing spectacle I have ever viewed. There was an incredible number of these lights flicker across the sky, so I estimated the number to be around 100 or so... not sure if these were individual lights or if perhaps they may have been attached to one giant craft of some sort. I took video of this occurrence, however, due to the smallness of the lights and the high altitude of their placement, they are not visible from my phone camera. I have no clue as to what these various lights might have been. Some of my friends suggested perhaps they were a cluster of drones, however, I felt there were way too many for that conclusion to be feasible. I am truly stumped by this magnificent sight.

I see them all the time, but to show someone else finally, was great. They can mimick a airplane at first or look like a star. White in color, sometimes silver gray. I have one on video. It was dark this night and they moved fast. One howeverwould stop for 5 minutes, then move upwards again. Then another one zipped over under it to follow its flight path.

After watching unacknowleged the other day, I took the opportunity to observe the sky while at work as a pool monitor. A fewer hours later I saw an object appear from the distant sky. As it became more visible I was able to see it more clearly, it seemed to suddenly split in to two aircraft. I have pics. Could it be to helicopters traveling in unison?

Snellville, GA
An object in the sky approached from the north and appeared to be flying at plane height. As the object approached it appeared to be engulfed in a large flaming ball. The o ject stalled the headed east and travelled slightly erratically, not flying straight. I snapped a picture with my phone then started to take a short video. I began to be sure it was flames engulfing the object then i ran to grab my wife. She and i watched the object head east slowly. The flames appeared to gutter out and the object went black.

Las Vegas, NV
This morning at approximately 6:50am, my girlfriend and I were travelling West on Desert Inn and witnessed 3 sphere grey things above the mountains one appeared to be landed. The objects had positioned themselves in the direction of potessi mountain and in the bright morning light were fully visible they must have been massive. Many photos were taken but the cell phone camera was worthless. The object with the greatest altitude and furthest north of the group moved South and continued gaining altitude. The second was motionless lower than the first but not landed. The third either was below the ridge of the mountain or landed on it, we believe the latter. We were on an overpass when they caught our eye coming to the intersection of Valley View and Desert Inn they were bigger much bigger than all the aircraft that were flying, these were huge and had the shape of a ball. No wings, no tails, no light other than reflected sunlight. They must have been seen by someone other than us they were bigger casinos on the Las Vegas Strip. I believe I saw the first object split into two then come back together. I wanted to pursue the sighting but my girlfriend was too scared.

Arnold, PA
The UFO shape shifted from an FAA tower indicator light, then it ascended quickly, descended rapidly. It scanned tree tops and houses over and behind Freeport Rd. It had a hammer of thor shaped movement. It was performing maneuvers that are impossible for a Prop drone. It defied our laws of physics in it's graceful movements. It then headed towards Plum and Pittsburgh PA.

Bath, PA
It was a constant brightness and I described it to my wife, whom was sleeping, as a single "firework," but it did not flicker or diminish in brightness. The track was also straight and not an arc. The speed was slower than a shooting star but much faster than any conventional aircraft. What was really eerie was there was absolutely no sound and the light, just went out and disappeared. I continued to watch for about 10 min. afterwards but saw nothing else other than a couple jets higher up.

while sitting on front deck looking south at 180 degrees of the night sky. A glowing blue object passed from northeast to southwest towards direction of ft lauderdale airport. i would say very low maybe 200 feet, at a speed thats not posible this close to the ground. the blue glow lasted at most three seconds. Some object went over my head with no sound and no air disturbance. Witness indicates that the date above is approximate. PD

Tillicum Campground, OR
Saw what looked like maybe satellites in the sky. One was coming from the north towards 7 o'clock, the other was coming from the east. They were flying at a decent speed about what satellites travel. At first I thought they were going to collide. It was that close. The one from the north coming downward cut in front of the one coming from the east. Then the one from the east no joke started trailing the one coming from the north. Then the one from the north went super fast back up then stopped. The one from the east started chasing the north super fast. Faster than anything I've ever seen. Then they disappeared. Is Elon Musk or NASA working on aircraft that can do that and stop super fast like that?? Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Light in the sky moved in a tight consistent circle, avoiding leaving cloud cover. When it had no choice, it seemed to disappear. Camera phone glitched out taking picture of star and child chalk drawing, and bright white light flashed, turning red. No shaft of life (as per a spotlight) could be seen. A friend and I pursued it , and noted the circular pattern was consistent. Always making the rotation in the same time (slower for slow rotations, faster for large). 4 crafts, like from Bradly AFB seemed to be monitoring.

Once I grabbed my camera ( which had no SD card) I ran back outside and there was another single one coming from the exact same spot.It followed the exact same path while slowly dimming. The lights did not blink and were not a color that is associated with aircraft that I know of. Witness elects to provide no contact information. PD

East of Route 32, we saw a pulsating orange/yellow light in the night sky traveling westbound. As we pulled the car off the road and exited onto the gravel, the craft moved and then stopped, continuing to pulsate, then it moved slowly eastward, disappearing behind a tree. When I walked over to where I could see around the tree, it had totally disappeared.

I was working, delivering food, at night, around 21:30. I was driving in the street, when I saw a light crossing the sky, a red ball shaped with a blue "tail" going from left to right, so fast that could not be a drone or an airplane. I reduced the speed of my car at the time and tried to get my phone to record something, but it was too fast. I could only follow it with my eyes for like 3 or 4 seconds... then I had to pay attention on the road. We have amended the date above, to reflect a sighting on August 25th, not September 25th. PD

Green lights seen from vehicle on Route 20. lights moved across road ay high altitude at very fast rate of speed, then made a sharp right turn and accelerated at an "impossible" speed and were out of sight a a mere fraction of a second.

South Heights, PA
We were standing by the fire pit at the end of our yard which overlooks the Ohio river. The sky was moderately dark and with a few clouds. Just out of nowhere a cigar/rectangular-shaped object with a slight indent towards the center suddenly appeared. At first, it was bright orange green and yellow, then within seconds became a florescent green glow as it shot straight across the sky far faster and lower than normal aircraft. The shakiest part for me is how it disappeared instantly as if into a black hole in the sky. Far away up in the sky I noticed an aircraft flying as well. My husband mentioned that he had noticed helicopters around the area in the past few days prior to this.
