I looked away for about 2 seconds. I tried to point it out to my passenger. When I looked again, it grew into a mushroom cloud shape with the expansion pointing down towards the horizon. Then, within another two seconds, i.R. disappeared. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I slowed down from 30mph to 10mph to watch what I call a "air vessel" three times the size of a Boeing 777, white in color with red rear fin, but the aircraft didn't have any wings, and made no sound. The aircraft then headed east towards downtown Columbus, Ohio. I am a US Air Force combat veteran of 12 yrs and I have never seen a aircraft like this. It had no markings, decals or country designation.

Red 'orb' moving silently passing over clear sky, then behind the partly clouded sky and out of sight. Moved east from along the southern-central area of town, witnessed further north in the center of town. Looked just like a ball of light, brighter in the center with a dispersed 'fuzz' at the edges. Totally silent with a constant, slow but steady pace. Because of anomalies in the contact information, we wonder whether this is a serious-minded report. We have attempted to contact the source of the report, but have not heard back from him. PD

The craft appeared to have three lights at the end of each leg extension, (red and white lights). It was totally suspended over some trees in back of a house across the street that I live on. I couldn't believe an airplane could suspend itself in mid air. Then, it took of in a flash!

On July 25th, 2017, at approximately 2:20am, I went out on our back deck to smoke a cigarette. I went to the far end of the deck which faces east. As I looked toward the tree line I noticed a strange multicolored light. I was intrigued by the light so I continued to look at it. I soon realized that the light was moving erratically. Unsure I continued to watch. It began to move well above the tree line still moving up, down, side to side, and even in circular motions. I was awe struck, and knew no one would believe what I was seeing, so I went and woke my niece. She witnessed the object, but went back to bed. I was too captivated to stop watching. Not long after I seen the first object, I noticed that there was another moving light in the sky. Both moving in the same manner with the same red, green, and white flashing lights. Before long I had spotted five of these objects. None of which could have been of natural occurrence. Around 4:18am one of these strange lights appeared just on the other side of the tree line. This one seemed very close. It's light was a steady white, and it's movement was the same as the other objects. It appeared so close that I went inside and grabbed a flashlight. I could be mistaken, but it seemed as though the light would respond to the blinking of the flash light. At one point I counted as many as 11 of these lights, two of which seemed to inspect passing airplanes by approaching them closely. Something else that was strange during this event was that I witnessed what I believe to have been a total of nine meteors, but given what I witnessed and the way these lights would appear, I am unsure if they were meteors, or the objects joining the others. I am certain that someone else had to see the near, low flying, object I mentioned, because it hoovered above a state highway just behind our home. It was too low, bright, and moving in such a manner to be mistaken for a star, and I could hear morning work traffic on the highway. This is true and accurate as I can tell it. My witness will confirm the sighting of the first object. This event took place for nearly three hours.

Mount Shasta, CA
I was camping near Red Fir on Mt. Shasta, and stargazing at Bunny Flat, when I witnessed a glowing orb-like light lift off of the mountain above the tree line and faded away - after I returned t my campsite later, I saw a faintly glowing light moving through the forest, about the size of a soccer ball, in the direction of Ascenion Rock, and lost view of it - I did not follow it as it was too dark to go into the forest from my camp site

I saw a red light in the sky, as if from a plane, but it moved much slower, and varied in speed and then disappeared.

A triangular shaped, bright - totally lit up with rays of light beaming a short distance from it in all angles, UFO passed high ubove me toward the northeast. Silent. Super bright white. It quickly moved out of sight at a steady, fast pace. From the beginning of viewing upon entering and exiting, my backyard trees blocked it from my view. From my view it was about as big as a 1 1/2k diamond - with beams of light shining out to double its size. About 2 minutes later a helicopter passed overhead in a southeast path.

I went outside to smoke a cigarette and noticed three objects in the sky, moving around each other very oddly. The objects then formed a triangle and two of them moved downward where I couldn't see them anymore. The other one stayed put for about 30 mins before I could no longer see it. Many planes came to check out the area when the object was in the sky. The objects were flashing the colors red, green, and blue, I believe.

Single white light moving across the sky heading north from the Lake Norman region. No sound, swayed from side to side a little bit. Moving too fast to be a Chinese wish lantern, and to slow to be a aircraft. I see a lot of plane activity over Lake Norman, but this was very strange, very strange indeed.

I then noticed 5 silver objects off to the south east. I watched assuming they would also start sky writing but then realized that they didn't have tails and were spherical. I watched to see them fly very quickly away from the air show, over the lake and disappeared. Event witnessed by myself & 2 children 8 & 11.

It was such a warm summer morning, so I stepped out into my backyard with a cup of coffee and took a moment to few the stars. Nearly directly overhead a saw a light in the sky that I thought was an airplane coming into Denver Airport. It was tracking the same flight path as most flights coming in from the west do. Something was a little different this time. What I first thought were landing lights were not. It was the glow of the craft itself that I saw. I looked for flashing beacon lights on the wings but there were none. In fact, I could now tell there were no wings. It was a simple orb. It was traveling east northeast. It was headed in the direction of DIA. As I continued to watch, it made a gentle turn to the southeast. That is when I realized it was silent. I said to myself "What am I watching?" As it moved away from me, I was completely convinced that this was not a plane. If it were a plane and with it past me now the landing lights would no longer be visible. The orb was still just as bright as ever as it moved further and further away from me. Finally it vanished beyond the trees. (( ISS.

It was north of me, stationary at first. It began moving from the left to the right and stop directly in front of my porch. I held of the V for Victory and the Brite Flash once off again. After one or two minutes, it began to move again. It continue with the softer flashes, intermittently. While moving to my right, south East for the aircraft. It paused for about 3 or minutes. Then continued on. It stop flashing but I could clearly see it until the craft it went out of site. I did 2 a 2nd one right after, I thought it was a airliner, since it was a light with a red aircraft warning light I commonly see at night. I wanted to believe and do believe this was man made, hoping at least. Told myself it was. Unless it was a drone, it had to be about 8 thousand feet, if it was the size of a Black Hawk, or Huey Helicopters. It could have been higher or lower, just my best guess. I have jumped out of both and I have jumped at night. This event lasted about 20 to 30 minutes.

Newark, DE
Reporting an UFO sighting on July 24, 2017 around 3:00 am. On July 24, 2017, both my wife and I woke up around 2:30 am with loud thunders from lightning. As we tried to sleep, we heard a few more thunders around the Drummond North area. Then, suddenly, we heard a loud sound and the intensity of that sound was increasing and decreasing periodically with a time period of 2 or 3 seconds. Our ears were able to detect that periodic nature of the sound. Then a bright orange beam of light entered our room through a window. The intensity of that orange light became brighter and darker in synchronization with ups and downs of the loudness of the sound. As this event was unfolding, we both thought that lightning might have started fire at a power transformer somewhere. So, I asked my wife to call 911, and I ran to the window. After removing the curtain of a window, I saw that a cylindrical structure hanging between our house and a neighbor’s house at a height of about 40 to 50 feet above my window. The approximate size of that cylindrical structure could be about 5 feet in height and 2 feet in diameter. That structure was generating both the sound and the light beams, and their intensities were modulated synchronously. The sound had the characteristics of running a huge blower whose speed was changing periodically in a very controlled manner. The light was so intense that at its peak value that I was getting blinded by it. Our backward was lighted up as if the sun’s rays on a clear midday have become orange and pulsing. As I tried to look directly at that cylindrical surface, I could only see some window-like features on that structure when the light intensity was low. The beam of light was practically coming from all over the structure. Instead of calling 911, my wife was so puzzled by the event that she unknowingly ran to another window and witnessed that bewildering event. Suddenly, the whole thing stopped. That cylindrical structure just disappeared in front of my eyes, and the world around us appeared to be the same as before. Approximately, whole event took probably between 15 to 20 seconds to unfold. I realized later that while that event was progressing, not a single dog barked in our area. We do not have a dog, but all of our neighbors do, and their dogs will bark even if a moderately loud car enters our area at night. In the morning when I was looking up and tried to identify the area where I saw that cylindrical structure, I realized that there is no electrical or any other overhead line has gone through that area or close to that area. The trees around that area have no burning sign, at all. As if nothing has happened last night.

San Diego, CA
Saw the same thing again tonight as I did 4 days ago. Bright flash, then very dim, like a dim satellite, then bright flash again. Tonight I used my binoculars after the 3rd flash but didn't see the object again. I checked to see if it could be the ISS but the site says it will be at 0430 and moving N to S. This object moves W to E.

Reno, NV
At around 1:35 in the morning, flashes of bright light started appearing outside in intervals. They would occur around every 5-7 minutes, and would fill up my whole room, along with all of outside. Around 20 seconds after the lights appeared a loud but distant explosion-type noise could be heard. This went on until around 2:10 AM. The lights have not occurred since and I was only able to fully witness the last two. It could not have been a lightning storm, because it has been clear all day, and fireworks would not have been bright enough.
