Chandler, AZ
I am a truck driver who was driving in the state of Arizona on interstate 10 east bound between mile marker 181 and 182. I initially noticed one circular bright light in the sky swooping down over a field then back into the sky at a high rate of speed. As I noticed the light coming back around repeating the the same motion, I was closer to the object than before. As I noticed the object swoop down almost touching the field only one light was on, then a second, and then a third circular light appeared. Each light was evenly spaced in a straight line. As this was happening, I turned my head out the window and looked back as the object was ascending back up toward the sky. With the lights pointing up I was able to see the shape of this object. The shape of this object resembled a large rectangular wing similar to a wing on an old time wwII plane. The side of this object opposite of the three lights had the middle part of this wing purtrud out in the center of the wing like a tab. So that side was not completely straight, The other side with the lights was straight with three large white circular lights in a row. I attempted while watching this to take a picture but was unable to while driving. I have never seen anything like this during my 15 years on the road as a truck driver and wanted to report this and hopefully get a logical explanation on what this may have been. I have a sketch of this object as well that I can mail to you. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be unusually eloquent in his description of the object, and quite sober-minded. We suspect that he is a highly capable, and highly reliable, witness. We have corrected the date to read July 14. PD

Then as it slowly past me on my right it then dropped another blue light below the 1st one. Then, another blue light dropped fom the 2nd one and now there are 3 vertical blue lights moving thru the sky. Then the bottom blue light shifts behind the 2nd and the thing just faded out. ON MY WAY HOME I SAW IT AGAIN MOVING SLOW AND LOOKS CLOSER TO ME NOW HEADED THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION! I also saw it about the same time doing the same thing the night before last.

Wappingers Falls, NY
It was 11:45 pm in Wappingers Falls, ny, I was on my way home from my friends house, when he said to me and my other friend "do you guys see that" when I looked we all were shocked and baffled of what we were looking at. It seemed to be a boomerang or triangular shape object that was hovering, but slowly moving at first I thought it was a plane until we followed it up the street for 1 minute and it just vanished. The sky was completely clear there was no clouds. None of us understand where it went. I went home after and I wanted to tell someone about it but I know no one would believe me and I thought this would be my only hope of anyone acknowledging what me and my 2 friends have seen.

Oak Ridge, TN
Bright, green, light also white in color possible fireball flew over house and across street about 20ft above trees approximately 10:02pm. It was completely dark outside. Disappeared out of sight once on other side of tree sight. Not enormous in size, but rather large. Hard to determine size really. It was a ball. Kinda oval and circular. There was no sound at all. No jet trails or streams. Lasted about 4 seconds. It glided smooth and went across and over the trees. About 5-10 minutes later there were numerous jets with lights on both wings flying low going towards direction. Also, numberous helicopters. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she stated that the apparent size of the object was larger than that of a full Moon, and perhaps several times larger. Her impression was that it was not a meteor, contrary to local news reports. PD

Charlotte, NC
First spotted four lights coming across the horizon in a diamond formation. These were followed by several more in a flock. The lights appeared far away, behaving like fireflies, but it was obvious they were MUCH larger. Definitely not airplanes (there was a plane elsewhere in the sky at the same time and it was nothing similar in appearance or behavior). The lights flocked across the sky slowly, glowing off and on like fireflies. The lights were slightly bluish in color. Spotted from the smoking patio of The Milestone Club on Tuckaseegee ((sic. Tuskegee??)) Dr. Did an internet search to see if there were any other reports of this sighting, found this video of an almost identical sighting also in Charlotte from 10/15/16: https://youtu.be/qxLEnqsUYS4

Morehead City, NC
My boyfriend and I were sitting on our front porch around 9pm when we noticed an orange, circular light over Morehead City. We live across the Newport River on the water and could see it well over the town. It never moved, but would disappear quickly and reappear in the same spot a minute or two later. This went on for approximately 10 minutes and then it did not reappear. We tried to find a logical reason but there were no clouds in the sky (we could see other stars) and a drone would have been too small for us to see at the distance we were at. Hoping maybe someone else saw this as well.

San Gabriel, CA
Approximately between 8:30pm and 9pm, I witnessed a red rounded very bright light that I am estimating was between Las Tunas Dr. and Huntington Dr. (North and South) and between Rosemead Bl. and San Gabriel Bl. (East and West), in the city of San Gabriel. It rose from the ground, so to speak, and shot up into, where with distance to the eye became smaller. It stayed up in the air for a few seconds then dropped down about half way and then began to drop a few feet at a time. Then flew to the east rapidly, then I lost sight of it for about one minute. It rose into view once more and returned to where it began and repeated a similar action of dropping a few feet at a time. There was NO sound of a helicopter or airplane. No sound at all. It was silent. I just got a new cell and could not get the video to work!! I was talking with my daughter and just kept saying “Oh my god, I cannot believe this!!” Please if anyone else saw this, post here!!

Lawrenceville, GA
I was in my car with my son and was able to see a bright star-like shaped light just above and to the right of an easily noticed plane flying by. I initially thought it was a bright star until it instantly grew bigger, as if it was moving forward while it became even brighter. Suddenly, it dropped straight down while growing a little larger and seemed to disappear for a couple of seconds re-appear in the same place. This object then continued to drop in the night sky until it disappeared as if to have landed someplace. My son confirmed seeing the same as I saw and we could not believe it. We compared possibilities to agree this was not normal and, definitely, no falling star. We are still at awe and my son is an adult too. We immediately had to get online to find possible reports posted.

McKinney, TX
On 07-123-2017 at approximately 0751, I observed a red “flash” from the corner of my eye. Turning to face the flash, I observed a sphere, of unknown size, moving from West to East slowly across the sky. The sphere moved in a straight line slowly, taking approximately 3 minutes to move 45 degrees in the arc of the sky. The sky was clear of clouds and there was no significant wind during this part of the morning, any wind which was moving was passing from South-East to North-West at somewhere less than 10 miles an hour. The only object which was in the sky at the time of the event which could be used as reference was the moon. The object observed, appeared to be 1/16 of the diameter of the visible moon at the time with best estimate. The object appeared to be a metallic red color as it would catch sunlight and “flash” very brightly a red color. This flash is what caught my attention in the first place. In between the movements and the times the object flashed, it appeared to be either a dark colored, almost black or a diffuse white colored sphere.

Pinedale, WY
Well, I was working nights on a drilling rig in Pinedale, WY. Elevation is about 7,500 ft, and 100 miles from any big towns, so I get to see a lot of the night sky. While I was in the back yard of the drilling rig, I looked up and noticed a star-like figure, which hadn't been there the last 14 nights. I started really looking closely at the object, and noticed it changing colors...red, blue, white. I instantly thought, well, maybe it's a plane or drone, but seemed to high of altitude, considering the mountains around me were 11,000 ft higher then the horizon. I called my co-worker on the CB radio, and said hey check this out. And he responded "what" I jokingly said, the UFO in the sky. He also brushed it off as a plane, or some commercial aircraft, until it didn't move like any plane. We then began radio chatter which got a few other employees attention as well and they came to the back of the drilling rig to see what all the UFO talk was about. As we talked, we came to the conclusion maybe it was some kind of satellite. We also had a debate about maybe being some kind of planet in our solar system, but that would explain the size and color changing orb that it was. So I went about my work day ever now and then I glanced at it and it stayed in the sky until 5:30 am, when the sun came up. I got off work around 7:00am, and started my travel back home heading to Casper, WY. through he south pass of the mountain, and saw some pretty out of the ordinary traffic. At least 20 white cargo vans all following each other, heading towards the area we had seen the UFO. 4 of the vans had trailers, 2 black enclosed trailers, and the other two had flat bed bumper pull trailers with telescopes. I then thought to my self, well maybe it was some kinda of planet, or some kind of star searching club was going to check the night sky out. Finally reaching my house in Casper, Wyoming, slept the day away, because I was working nights for the past 14 days. I then told my girl friend what crazy things I saw at work and the way home. She kinda gave me a look like that's crazy, or maybe your crazy. But we stepped foot outside our house and seen 3 star like orbs again flashing in the night sky. Did a little research on the internet and I am not only the only one who has seen something like this but there is videos on YouTube of the same orb like figure. One orb faces southeast one west, and one south west. It's the strangest thing I've seen in the sky and I tend to look at the night sky quite a lot because of my job duties.

Takoma Park, MD
I was looking up to see the moon and was waiting for a cloud to move. When the moon came into view I also noticed a flickering light underneath the moon that was very bright and seemed to be still. I took a picture and brief video. (Please see attachments) Then when I looked at the object it looked like it was moving in my direction, so I hurried inside because I was feeling nervous. I put the video and picture on my computer and will include it. It just looks like a bright light from a distance but when I zoomed in on it in video and picture a horse shoe or u shaped light can be seen. Please let me know your thoughts. If its something more common like a plane, please let me know because it really freaked me out! Thanks!

Craft moving at a speed of a normal airplane, but seemed to move in circular formation and lights which illuminated from yellow to red in a digital like pattern around the craft. We have amended the date above, and left a message for the witness, asking for confirmation. PD

Vernon, NY
Two objects(lights) were noticed after they had passed overhead. These objects produced no sound and there was no beacon as with normal aircraft. These objects were moving away from us and the intensity of the light didn't seem to change. Therefore, I am discounting landing lights as the source of illumination. I am unable to estimate height and speed due to darkness but it took less than one minute for these 2 objects to go from overhead to beyond the visible horizon. Also, as they moved away, they seemed to change position in relation to each other as if they were in a race.

Stepped outside into the backyard. Noticed the degree of darkness (no moon). Happened to look up and saw triangular lights in the sky. Looked like wide red bars around the perimeter of the craft. Seemed relatively low (1,500 feet above ground level) in the sky moving progressively toward the east. It seemed silent. Was expecting that it might be a helicopter or aircraft, but no familiar sound accompanied the lights. I then dashed inside the house, grabbed my IPad and went back outside to take photographs. By the time I returned (15 seconds later), the lights were now higher in the sky, still eastbound and moving away much faster. I tried to zoom in the focus. The image stabilizer box on the IPad focused on the lights. I took two images, but as I said, by now the object was higher and moving away quickly. When I reviewed the two photos, they did not appear to show much of any useful image. My guess would be some military aircraft, but really don't know. I have a Commercial Pilot certificate and have been flying for 13 years. Have never seen anything like this before.

Carlisle, PA
Last night, at around 10:15PM, my boyfriend and I went outside to smoke a cigarette. We were sitting in a golf cart on the driveway talking. He looked over at me, and saw lights behind my head that weren’t like normal plane lights. When he pointed it out, I turned and looked. What I saw next is hard to explain. The object that was moving in the sky was very large, and no more than 500 feet in the air, and it was silent. A normal plane, at that height, would have been so loud. We were in an open driveway, in a middle of a field, so the night was quiet. We would have heard it if it was a normal plane. This object was so low, and moving slowly. When we noticed planes in the sky later, they seemed to be moving so fast compared to how slowly this object had been moving. The lights themselves were so different from anything I’ve ever seen before. The object looked like a triangle shape, but the sky was dark as I’m assuming the object was as well. But on each side, in the middle, there were blinking lights. They were blinking both red and white. We watched as this object turned, and as it changed direction I saw more lights. Either on the bottom or top of the object there was also a circular pattern of lights, that seemed to be rotating. There were at least 10 lights all together, if not more. We watched for about 5 minutes as this object made its way overhead before disappearing above the tree line. My boyfriend and I were talking, and I was trying to reason with him logically. We’re in Carlisle, PA. There are plenty of military bases around. Carlisle is a huge shipping port. Etc, etc. Then we stood up to go inside. As we got out of the golf cart and turned to enter the house, we saw a light so bright just hovering then, above the field. At this point, I almost couldn’t move. This light also was maybe 500 feet in the air. It hovered in one spot, but not completely still. It seemed to almost dance in the sky. It was only one light I could see. But it was so bright, it had beams coming off of it, almost like it looked like a pinwheel. It was so bright, it made everything else feel dark. I couldn’t even see the tree line in the distance. It didn’t fly away, it didn’t do anything. That is when my boyfriend grabbed my arm and pulled me in the house. He was scared and wanted to go inside, but I couldn’t look away. This experience lasted only maybe 2 minutes in its entirety before I made it into the house. But once I got inside I realized more. This light was also silent, and for how close and bright it was, it would have had to have been making a noise. Even small drones you can hear in the air. But this was completely silent. We went to tell his brother and friends, and when we told them it had just had happened, they ran outside to see if it was still there. Within 5 minutes, by the time we had made it back outside, this light was gone and there were no traces of it. When we walked back outside, the sky was brighter and back to normal. It seemed almost like a different atmosphere outside. This also, is happening at a time when a lot of strange things have been happening to me. I have RH- blood, and joke about being an alien pretty frequently. But, I’ve recently been waking up with strange bruises that are very small (less than half an inch) in diameter, and are in a straight line. I’ve had objects move literally while my back is turned, along with my phone acting strangely. All of this, along with what we saw last night, is starting to add up.

Cavalier, ND
A very short time later, 2 small round objects came out of the remaining triangle in opposite sides. 1. Went West and one turned North. A short distance later, both turned North and disappeared very fast. 2. The 2 larger triangle objects appeared to have lights surrounding the objects and black between the lights. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and found him to be seemingly sincere and sober-minded. We suspect that he is a highly credible witness. PD

Labadieville, LA
I was sitting on my front porch at 7:45 pm. This is the third time in two years I've seen this oval flying white object travel in front of our home at the height of a low flying plane. It traveled from north to south (heading toward the Gulf of Mexico). I ran to get my daughter and a cell phone to get a photo. It had gotten too far away by the time we ran outside. The cell phone camera didn't pick it up. Whenever I bring my actual camera outside with me, I never see a thing. I just don't think it is a plane or a helicopter. There is no sound.

This evening my mother and I were on the front patio talking, when very high in the sky I noticed a small, far away, bright light. It looked like a star but extremely bright, yet the sun had not set yet. I was shocked it was so bright. Then it started to move down, to us it seemed as though it was moving slowly, but it appeared to be quite far away so it could've been quickly. As it moved downward it faded slowly until it completely disappeared. There were no clouds in the area for it to disappear into. We watched it until it got so dim we could no longer see it. I yelled for my husband and by the time he came outside it was too dim for him to see. We stayed out there about another 10 minutes. All of a sudden, my husband was yelling, "Holy crap there it is!!!" I looked up in the same spot and sure enough there it was. So extremely bright and fading as it slowly moved downward. It appeared to be very very high in the sky. I am not sure if this was a UFO or something else, but I came upon this site when searching for other possible similar sightings. I thought I would share my experience in case others had or will have the same! Thanks much!

The objects was a cone shaped bright white color hovering and rotating east of the city, it seemed to be rotating. After observing the objects for a hour or so in the cover of darkness the object vanished. We got into my vehicle and continued our drive. As I started my car and turned on my heas lights, the object seem to fly towards us at a high rate of speed, the brightness of the light got closer and followed us as we got into Gallup. We parked at a gas station on the east side of town and waited for the object to leave. We continued to a mobile home trailer park on the east side of town and the ufo appeared to follow us until we came to our destination. The ufo continued to hover in the sky seeming to observe us, as we observed it with our mobile phones. At around 5:30 the ufo vanished in a upward blast.
