Keller, TX
At 10:00 PM CST (July 29, 2017), my family and I witnessed a flight of 12 objects flying in a formation of 4 groups of 3 objects. They were flying at a high altitude, and did not have any beacons, strobes, or red/green indicators. The unknown items were so high, we might not have noticed them, because they looked liked stars at first, but my daughter jumped and said "they were moving". And wow, they were moving in a coordinated formation and direction (south-southwest). As there were at least 12 objects, one would have thought there would be engine noise, but none was heard. I would wonder if these items were observed on DFW Airport, Alliance Airport, or Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base's radar screens?

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.

Chehalis, WA
Driving north, we noticed a green circular shape that appeared above the trees, on the east side of I-5 driving north. Seemed to be 300-400 feet in the air, was a green light, and sped off to the north in an instant. We only saw it for about 4 seconds, or so. It seemed as big as an airplane.

Yelm (near), WA
At about 9:58 pm on 7-29-17 a bright white and green light with a long trail similar to a meteor EXCEPT there was ZERO change in size, shape, color, tail, trajectory, or altitude, from horizon to horizon, and we did NOT see is diminish at all. We were near Yelm, a town on a prairie plateau in the South Puget Sound area, with a big sky view. The color was silver white, with a long bright white needle like tail much longer than I have ever seen with a meteor. It had inside the small super bright oval shape a small faint green color to the core with a very short green tinting into the beginning of the tail. The green was only by the object itself, it did not bleed into the tail more than about 5% of the overall length with its full tail. This is more conducive of a missile, than a meteor, in that its magnitude never changed. The light was identical to the light of small missiles, such as patriot missiles, but much faster, and much longer. As for the flare of missiles right at the front of the propulsion fire we couldn't see well, it was too far off, but it appeared to have a faint flare to it, not quite doubling it thickness at that point only, it didn't trail at all, almost like just a blur around the start of the burn area. This did not look at all like a meteor after initially seeing it, and it appeared to be about 40,000 to 70,000 alt., and if so, would put the speed about mach 10. I flew flight test in Lear's, and I know what I saw. It did not appear to change altitude in the least. Furthermore, EVERY meteor I have seen acted identically the same. This was only fast and bright, no other similarities to meteors. It DID NOT flare up and fade off as meteors do. It DID NOT have the orange and particulates that flare off meteors in about the middle of their entry to our atmosphere. There were no sparks or glittering. I did not have a compass with me last night, but looking at the map I put the direction of travel near 350 degrees. Source of report is a very experienced pilot. During a telephone conversation with the witness, he reported that the object was approximately 12-15 degrees to the east of overhead, and that it traversed approximately 140-150 degrees, from south to north, in approximately 7-8 seconds. Further, he estimated that the object's apparent size was just a bit less than Venus, in the eastern morning sky. He added that he did not believe that the object was a meteor. PD

Olalla, WA
I was sitting on the deck at approximately 9:30 p.m., when I saw a bright green light moving in what appeared to be a south to north trajectory. The light appeared to be a bluish-green ball with a trailing tail, like a falling star. At first glance it was like a firework, however, it was much larger, brighter, and moved much further than any firework I have ever witnessed. (( We have amended the time to 21:58 hrs., predicated on a very accurate measurement of time by one of the witnesses.

Bellevue, WA
A large glowing ball of flame, green and red, hurtled through the sky in a linear, due north direction. Faded into the distance as a dim red star. No sound. the size initially was from my location approximately the size of a pencil eraser. Billowing fire as it traversed the sky. Very likely a meteor. The green color was quite spectacular. Barium possibly?

Pilot Point, TX
I was at a party, and all sitting in their chairs listening to music and talking, I heard a very peculiar noise was like that of a military ship right away look at the sky and I saw that the object was flying very low had about 5 lights was rectangular And lead color was great when I saw it said that's it? But nobody was paying attention, all were enjoying the party, a friend saw him then he retired and told me that he thought the sound strange and because he was flying very low I can not see his form only the lights, I am impressed what I saw true Is something to see to believe I'm Biologo and I have more than clear that we are not alone !! I speak very little English, sorry if something is misspelled

Flying slow and low to the desert outside sf, going south on I-25. We assume a nighttime sighting, and have amended the time above. However, since the source of the report elects to remain totally anonymous, we have no means of confirming the time, or the duration of the sighting. PD
July 29, 2017 · 9:20 PM · DISK
Chanhassen, MN
We were driving north on highway 41 between Lyman Avenue and 82nd Street in Chanhassen, MN, when we saw an object floating through the air over the road, going west to east. Although the sun had set, there was still plenty of light to see and the sky was still bright. The object was an oval shape with dark edges and a center the color of the sky. It was about at a height that I would expect a kite or flock of ducks. So, at first we thought it was a smoke ring or flock of birds or a giant balloon. However, as we drove closer, and it continued to move over us to the east, it became clearer that it was a very distinct disk or saucer. Since we were right under it, the oval shape we saw in the distance had changed into a circular disk form. Again the edges were clearly visible as a dark outline against the sky and the middle was now similar to a reflection of the sky, but more muddled and it included a swirl of feint lights. My wife and I were stunned in the front seats and I slowed the car down as there were no other cars immediately behind us. As we passed underneath and it continued to move east, I accelerated and made a right turn on 82nd and into the immediate parking lot on the right side. At that point, the object was no longer visible. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

string of 5 or 6 lights observed traveling from east to west over Burncoat area in Worcester MA. looked similar to Chinese lanterns - however, they did not flicker and they ascended in uniform fashion with fairly rapid speed until they disappeared entirely. could have been lanterns - however, I have seen Chinese lanterns numerous times and have never seen them behave in such fashion. Strange

Right after the two disappeared, a third one came along and was hovering much quicker in the same direction as the other two, and then disappeared in the exact same spot. We have video footage of this and are curious as to what it could have been. Did anybody else witness this??

Brookfield, WI
Flat, ribbon-like shape. Approximately 12'X8'. Black figure-8 shape in the western sky, heading north-west, twisting, turning, and flipping, moving upwards until it was too high to see with naked eye. Black ribbon estimated to be 3' in width. Held its flat (and horizontal) figure-8 shape the entire time, flipping on its back and then turning over again multiple times. The front loop of the figure-8 was a bit larger than the rear loop, consistently. ...Never seen anything like this before. Very strange. No sound. Clear skies.

Hawarden, IA
I saw the craft coming into town, it was a orange reddish color and kind of fuzzy. It kind of wobbled in the air and darted with a great amount of speed then faded out and disappeared. I then noticed it again leaving town, it vanished again after a short time. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Sacramento, CA
We were flying down for landing when we noticed a strange object in the sky from the plane's window. At first it was primarily circular, with a white glow in the center and a slight red tint/outline (similar to that of a flare, but it was far larger, stayed in the air for far longer, and did not flicker or flash.) It seemed to last a while, and as time passed the object began to seemingly stretch and lose the white glow, obtaining a more oblong shape before dissipating and leaving a lingering red haze/glow. It is also important to mention that it was off in the distance so the size of it could have been relatively large. The number of witnesses is unknown but there could have been many, due to the fact that the event occurred in a city.

Meredith, NH
I was driving my girlfriends car when I looked to the right about 400 to 800ft above the tree line I seen a metallic sphere. When I looked at it sound in general stopped. No wind or birds it was very calm. Close to sunset and I told my gf to take a picture of it cause it was so still and stuck in the sky as if it was attached to a solid structure. Then we went by a set of trees and I tryed to find it again but it was gone. Never though about it again until I seen several pictures and videos of the same object. Note :we didn't get a picture until we drove a ways down the road. We had a better view of it right as we came into the clearing.

It was 2017 wont let me change the date. I remember it was extremely quiet outside and it hovered about 500 to 800 ft above the ground . (Based on drone flying as a hobby looked about that height). It was at a distance of a 1/4 mile from us . Silver in color and very still as if it was a pin on a map. We got a few picture and our view was obstructed for 15 seconds . On the other side when we looked again it was gone. We were in town for a family event . I live in Rhode island. I'm reporting now years later because what I'm seeing in the news looks exactly like what I had seen . I'm a firm believer of the scientific method and have been skeptical . I do know that I've never seen anything like it in my life . My girlfriend was in the passenger side of the car and took the photos.
