Bennington, NE
At approximately 4:04 PM, a star-like light, bright enough to see in daylight, was spotted by my friend in northwest suburban Omaha. It was stationary and he pointed it out to me. It took me a second to find it in the sky. Once I did, it seemed to become slightly brighter. It was to the northwest of our location. This occurred for approximately 2-3 minutes. It moved rapidly seemingly to decreasing altitude (lower), then moved to the west and then to the north quickly before disappearing. Total time of occurrence from spotting to disappearance was approximately a little over 3 minutes.

At first, I thought it was a large sea bird in a low fast glide. It was black or dark navy a customary jet plane shape but no larger than width of car lane. Totally silent. No clear cockpit shape dark very sleek disappeared toward sea so fast that by the time I uttered that must be a drone to car companions, they could not see it flying just above grasses. Date is flawed. E-address is flawed. Possible hoax?? PD

Kapaa, HI
Saw a galactic craft on my way down the mountain enroute to Lihue from Wailua Homesteads. After you pass Opaekaa Falls, there's an expansive view of the ocean out to the horizon on your right. It was from there I saw the ship floating along. It was mimicking a commercial jet with a tail, wings and fuselage. No logos, very ethereal, shiny with a large Sun glint radiating off its side flying against a pale blue sky. As I watched, it suddenly disappeared.

I was watching meteors when I noticed one of the stars moving. I thought it was an air craft but it drops, rises, circles, and was seeming to get right in the path of some of the brighter meteors. My dog was also not too keen to come off the porch, first time she has ever avoided coming with me. First noticed it at about 5:05 am, still seeing it get closer to me as I am typing, at 5:40am.

Rising Sun, MD
I was walking my dog in the back yard, when I happened to look up and noticed a series of flashing lights in the sky over the farm across the road. It appeared to be a central white light with faint red lights flashing in a random pattern around it, I observed the lights for approxamitley twenty minutes it remained stationary for the entire time before seeming to fade away. I am a grounded college educated individual with a background in history.

At approximately 1:52 AM, my cousin and I were sitting on the patio and saw an extremely large and brilliantly lit teardrop shape, fluorescent green, light blazing across the sky, from east to west. There wasn't any sound coming from it, nor were there any flashing lights.

Standing in my driveway at 1am looked up over my neighbors house over the trees I saw a cigar-shaped thing with 3 lights hovering silently, it came from behind the trees. I saw it hovering in full over the street for maybe 5 seconds, direct eye contact. Then it just went from 0mph-warped speed, and varnished.

About 10 minutes later, was gone! Weird because I thought it was a big orange moon but no full moon last night and really seemed to move and was gone! ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) You are correct, Sunday nite at midnite! ((END ADDENDUM)) We have changed the date above. The date changes at midnight. PD

Marstons Mills, MA
In the western sky 3 spherical objects in a Diagonal pattern were crossing from west to east, aAt unbelievable speeds. I was unable to film them with my phone, because they were far too high up. I've seen strange things here on Cape Cod before, but this was inreal!! It was no plane, no balloon. They were spherical and bright reddish orange.

The reason it immediately caught my attention was that the the helicopter and white ball of light were way to close together. It was obvious that the helicopter was also curious about the object. The helicopter followed it for about a minute and then slowly dimmed out. Amazing! (( Witness indicates that the date above is approximate. PD)

Greenbrier, TN
Craft spotted on 07/30/2017. Second Sunday this craft has been spotted by husband and wife. Last seen on 07/16/2017, at roughly the safe time. Craft flew west then turned south. Craft was traveling much slower than on 07/16 and appeared to be at 4K-5k ft agl. Craft appeared to be emitting bright white light. Several photos and video were taken. In one of the photos if you zoom you see a round glowing disk with what appears to be a dome. Witness has spent 7 years in army aviation and cannot explain what he saw. Pictures and video sent in email. There was no sound from craft.

Norfolk, VA
I was in my backyard with my 2 year old son around sunset, and we were looking at the moon, when we noticed in the sky at high altitude in close proximity to the moon (about 4 o'clock) a cylindrical type object with long panels extending the length of both sides of it that appeared to be hovering in the sky. At first I thought it was a plane but I observed no contrails and then thought that maybe it was a satelite or the ISS, however after about 5 minutes, it vanished from view. There were no clouds in the sky and the object did not move from its location, it literally just vanished.

I was first alerted by my wife at 4am who noticed a bright white light that appeared artificial in the shape of a circle or tear drop, it did not twinkle or look anything like a star or planet and was definitely not a plane or helicopter. It stayed in one spot for. Close to an hour and then appeared to gradually slip away. This object was very noticeable and as I said appeared to be artificial light such as from a craft not anything like a star or otherwise.

Chattanooga, TN
Saw an oval craft sitting in sky with lights blinking white, green and red. Came out again 15 min later, saw 2 craft, same type craft and lights. No noise, no moving, just sat and spinner in place.

Grayling, MI
We saw bright object northwest at 45 degrees which danced like on string zig zag. Not an object or craft but far away yet seemed within atmosphere, but unlike any satellite and brighter than any star. Looked like traces shooting at it and it was giving off visible lights pulsing out. This went on several hours and it went quickly back up around but seemed to maintain position cwithin three stars

Within five minutes, I saw two helicopters, and quite a few planes (way more than normal), head into the same direction the craft or object disappeared

Everett, WA
I live east of I-5 in South Everett, WA. I went out to have a cigarette and saw two objects, circular and saucer shaped. The closest was near 77th St and Broadway slightly higher than small plane at take off in the air. It was slowly moving eastbound like when a car has slowed to check you out. The second craft was Northbound and near the Snohomish River Valley, going slowly like the nearer craft. The nearer craft was close enough to be seen clearly. The sides reflected ambient light. On the bottom was a single light. It made no sound and moved smoothly. I noticed it was not like an airplane because an airplane came by with the typical red and blue light and flashing white light, and it made the typical engine sounds of a small plane. Both craft were bigger than a Cessna.

Bellingham, WA
Was in my back yard last night around 10:45 and saw a far-off object and just kept my eye on it because I thought it might be a satellite and wanted to watch it go by. It was going really fast, faster than the satellites and faster than the airplanes that come by my home. It also was much lower than a satellite or plane. Looked for blinking lights on an airplane and there were none. As it came within clear view, my mouth dropped open – it was a glowing greenish yellow and I immediately thought about the glowsticks that kids use at Halloween. The shape was really odd, not seemingly aerodynamic at all - it was rounded and I feel like it had two rounded parts hooked together – not discs though. It was completely silent and very big and much lower in the sky than even the small airplanes. I took two steps out further into my yard when it got the closest to me so I wouldn’t lose sight of it as it went by… and it disappeared. Either the lights went completely dark or it actually disappeared. Never have seen anything like this before – I just stood there with my mouth open.

Tobyhanna, PA
Amber/gold round lights, traveling from NW to SE. Solid color, no flashing and totally silent. One light, then approximately 30 seconds later followed by two closer together, and 30 seconds after that followed by another single one. Appeared to be much lower than most planes and in a completely different flight path than any planes observed during our 18 years residence at this location. Vector was approximately half way between horizon and apex of sky, towards the west. All four lights were moving in a straight-line formation. Witnessed by three adults on clear night. Some video recorded on cell phone.

Bothell (above), WA
Saw a bright blue cone with orange streak access the sky. Thought it was a fireworks rocket at first. But then I sat up and noticed it was streaking across the sky almost horizontal. There was no noise, but it was traveling at high rate of speed. Trail was not visible except for bright blue cone with red.
