Then a very bright light blink green, then red, and cycled back and forth between these two colors for approx 15 seconds, then stopped, then went to a white flashing and departed in an eastern direction at what appeared to be a very fast speed. What struck me as being odd was that it was partially cloudy but the red/green flashing light was extremely bright, and with a much increased size compared to the flashing moving white lights.

Levittown, NY
Three orange lights appeared in a slightly curved line moving at an extremely slow pace. A forth light shone a number of feet behind them. They were not airplanes. They barely moved in the sky. Then the 3 lights vanished and the 4th one lingered for another minute or so. I saw this same thing approx. 4 years ago while again watching fireworks on July 4. At that time there were numerous reports of that sighting.

Middleton, NJ
I would like to report a strange activity that I have never experienced before. It happened more than 2 months ago on July 4th, 2017, while celebrating Independence Day here in the US. I was in my car driving around chasing after fire work, hopping from town to town. I drove with my nephew and my friend who was visiting from Virginia. My friend is a US Government contractor who I had the pleasure of working with during our deployment in the past. I decided to show here the towns around where I live in Middletown, NJ. We drove to Keansburg, Union Beach, and then back to Middletown. The fireworks were over at this point; however, as I was pulling up to my brother’s house who also lives in Middletown, we saw 3 bright yellow small circles in the sky that just appeared out of nowhere. I don’t know how to describe the movement, but these objects were following each other for like 10 seconds and then the last bright yellow circle moved ahead to the first bright yellow! circle and they circles paused. That’s what was strange about the whole thing, I knew these objects were not just ordinary lights. About 15 seconds later all the lights just vanished! We didn’t think much of it at that point, but for some reason I still think about it and wonder if the fire work triggered something in space.

Oklahoma City (South), OK
Sitting on first floor apartment porch behind my mother and with two of my mother's work friends around 21:00, the sky was mostly dark with a small hint of sunlight left. I noticed a bright red light out of the corner of my right eye hovering over another apartment building. Not right over the complex, but a couple of miles East of our location. I turned my head to look in that direction, as I turned my head the red light went away and became a small white blinking light. It hovered in the same spot for a bit before moving. When moving, the light pulsed out and it reappeared in another spot. Each time it moved, it moved West towards our apartment complex. There was a pillar blocking my mother's view, so she didn't notice it until it was almost directly over the complex. I hadn't said anything to her at this point thinkng it would disappear and I wouldn't be believed. As it stopped and hovered over the complex, my mother and I stared at it without words, she was still unaware I had been watching it way before she noticed it. Then it started to pulse green and as it did, its light grew bigger and brighter, along with some sporadic movements around the area in which it had been hovering. Finally it moved in the same manner, seemingly jumping from spot to spot between light pulses towards the North and out of view. Multiple times before its seemingly laws-of-physics-defying movements to the North. my mother vocalized her thought that it must be a helicopter before its light turned green. Needless to say, her helicopter theory was shot down as our jaws dropped in awe when it seemingly disappeared and reappeared miles away. Certainly no human could endure that type of acceleration and G forces without being fatally injured. No actual object was viewed, just the light. This was both mine and my mother's first UFO experience.

Florissant, MO
Saw a big bright red light with a straight line of smaller white lights behind it. It held a perfectly straight line for quite a while and perfectly still in place. Finally moved and the white lights slowly flexed as if in a breeze. It was as if it pivoted with the red light as the head. It made no sound we had the sunroof of the car open and watched it for five minutes, and yes it is the fourth of July. I would have said it was a helicopter but no sound, it was low enough to see each white light in line, also eventually y the “tail” blew as if a dog tail waging in slow motion. It was as if it were some kind of a kite, but it did not move at all for the longest time and the tail was perfectly straight for for most of the time. The white lights appeared to be on the same flat plane as the red light. parallel with the ground. “A dragon-fly” is how my wife and I both described it. Seemed to be over City Hall. It was not a firework, but a stationary object.

Was sitting at my sisters house near Lake Whatcom. Several different shaped craft appeared at different times. Some were shaped like a pearl necklace, others looked like drones. I have pictures of these craft; some 15 to 20 all together. I am in the process of having them copyrighted for publication. We have requested permission to look at the photos. PD

Pueblo, CO
3 bright Yellow/Red balls in a circle shape. Flying slowing across south side of Town. They stopped for a few seconds and then flew off to the south. Only to come back to the North about 3 minutes later.. Then flew off to the West and the lights faded away.

Saint Simons Island, GA
Around or just after 9:00 PM on July 4, 2017, some friends and I stepped out onto the roof of a local restaurant in the pier village on Saint Simons Island, GA. We were there to watch the Fourth of July fireworks display. The fireworks show was taking place in front of the restaurant. When we turned around, though, we saw, at least a couple of blocks or so away from us, a strange blue-ish object hovering in one place in the sky for several. I personally observed the object for several minutes, before I finally went back inside the restaurant. According to another witness, after I went back inside the restaurant, the object briefly moved around in the sky erratically before it finally descended and appeared to land, disappearing from view. What became of the object after it descended remains unknown.

Thought maybe firework haze made them appear to fade but I don't think so. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Patchogue, NY
This craft was soon joined by a second identical craft. The lights on both crafts turned green. Each craft had multiple lights. Eventually, after the fireworks performance ended (around 10:20 pm), the two craft slowly headed North until they couldn't be seen again. We could only see the lights of the craft. They could have been drones. If so, they were expensive (high tech) ones.

I tried to figure out if it was a drone, but I heard no noise and saw no lights. It traveled from the south in a straight line moving NNE. It disappeared over Lake Ponchatrain. The distance travelled had to be at least 2 miles. It was hard to estimate the height. It took approx. 1 minute to travel across the sky. I ran to get my camera, but the batteries were dead!!! Is it possible this was a drone? This is the oddest thing I've ever seen in the sky, and I'm an amateur astronomer. Hoping someone else might have seen it, because if you looked up around that time, there is NO WAY you could have missed it.

Peter Davenport, In the evening of the 4th of July, 2017, while finishing my walk around 8pm., down Washington Street, Penacook, NH, 03303, while entering the ((deleted--my neighborhood)). I looked off to the North says and saw a big black object in the far off distance, not moving. I watched it for about 5 min. Wound not have be a plane the size. I thought to take a pic, no buildings are out there that high.. Then I saw it take off straight up and vanish into the sky faster then under a second.If I was to guess it would have been the size of a football field from that distance. That was not a bird or plane or even a hot air ballon to take off that fast. Just wanted to write this report what I saw. I was in the United States Air Force for 4 years and I can tell you these ships are for real and not from Mother Earth. I have friends that work at NASA and they can tell you the same. I would not write this report and take the time to explain what I saw if it was not real. Thank you., ((name deleted))

Keizer, OR
I observed a bright pink orb hovering in the sky. I was looking west as the sun was slowly setting. The sky was clear with a couple of clouds. Fireworks were starting to go off in the 4th of July celebration. I thought it was a drone and didn't report it at the time. After viewing the orb for a few minutes I ran into the house to grab my wife to show her. She watched it for a minute or two then went back in to the house. About 1 to 2 minutes later I watched the orb take off at a very fast speed heading south. The orb quickly darkened and grew dark as it started to fly south. The orb did not change in altitude during the sighting and was perfectly still before heading south. I would guess it was about 6 to 7 stories up, possibly higher as I could not tell how far away it was. There was no audible sound that I could hear.

The sky was bright, too bright to see any plane lights. But two lights, one slightly small (or further away), stood still in the sky.

Pembroke Pines, FL
Looking up in the sky with brother in law.. I said, "Wow, look out at the stars. One of those dots is moving, It must be a satellite. Moving in a constant straight line." We both were looking at it, when it suddenly either grew to the size of a silver dollar or shot out a perfect white circular light the size of a silver dollar. And then in a split second went back down to the size of the tiny star size dot. A silver dollar size object in the sky that is a perfect circle and white light looks very weird and should not be there .. The huge circle was in view by both of us and lasted less then a full second. We both said.. "DID YOU SEE THAT? !!!!" It was very weird, so I tried to look up all kind of stuff on the internet but nothing sounded similar.. so I found this report and thought I should at least write about the event.. I can still see it in my mind.. I wish I could have that on video.. I am so happy someone else saw it with me..not sure what it was.. But I have never seen anything do that before.

I am sure of the day, but not the year. It was Fourth of July in early afternoon. I went into my large backyard and happened to glance up. The sky was bright blue and small white clouds were traveling northward. There was one large cloud to the near northwest that was the same color as the rest, moving (sort of bubbling in place but not changing position in the sky). The smaller clouds were moving past it, above and below. Then I realized that the large, stationary cloud was mostly concealing an enormous craft. I noticed it because most of it was concealed by the cloud, except for the front and about 4 or 5 dark openings. The color of the craft was a pale, washed-out gray. From my vantage point, I couldn’t tell whether I was seeing a side view of a disc or of a cigar-shaped object. The overall effect was like seeing the nose of a cruise ship peeking out of a cloud. The structure I could observe resembled a 3-layer cake. The top layer was the smallest and had no openings. The second layer was larger and wider, and had about 4 or 5 dark, vertically rectangular openings, being a bit wider at the bottom. The rest were concealed by the cloud. The third layer was still larger and had no openings that I could see. I don’t know how big the craft was but judging from what I saw, it must have been hundreds of feet across. I have never doubted life beyond that on Earth, so the sight didn’t much affect me. I went back in the house, came out again five minutes later and it was still there. It was gone about twenty minutes after that. I should have had the presence of mind to photograph it. I have told my wife and two other people about this. I think it makes them uncomfortable.
July 4, 2017 · 4:28 AM · FLASH
Kingman, AZ
While taking my pre-dawn morning walk in Kingman, Arizona, I witnessed this incident at 0428 hr PST. My Coordinates at time of sighting: LAT N 35 degrees, 11’ 3” / LONG W 113 degrees, 59’ 53” While I was walking due north, I witnessed a bright, quick “white” flash high & to the east of me approx. 70 degrees up from the horizon to the left of the star Mirach in the constellation Andromeda. This flash was the size of the planet Venus which was directly below it. I first thought that it was tumbling space debris so I fixed my sight there. Approx. 10 seconds later it flashed again. It seemed to be in the same location as the last flash so I trained my eye to see if I can locate this objects faint trajectory. I could not see one. For the next 5 minutes (approx.) this bright white flash continued at about 10 -20 seconds apart. The object was moving but it seemed to only move 5-10 degrees in between flashes. It stayed within the area of Mirach and then finally stopped. This sighting was unusual in that 2 days later, at the same time of the morning, I witnessed this object again, but this time it was being chased by a faint object that I will file in the next report dated 07/06/17 @ approx. 0430 hrs..
