I was watching UFO footage vide in library on you tube and went outside to smoke a cigarette and looked at the river all the way north there they were two craft shaped kind of like these two v's VV but the bottoms were flat they were grey colored craft and performed a maneuver by shifting in formation to right suddenly to left they intended to mean to me Hancock field USAF base in Syracuse boys from Syracuse.

While letting my dog outside, I noticed a green light hovering in the sky to the southwest. I watched it for a minute, wondering if maybe it was a plane. But it just stayed in the same spot, so it couldn't have been a plane. Plus the light was solid and not blinking. After a minute I realized I left my phone in the house. So, I ran inside and grabbed it and started to record footage. Keep in mind, it's night outside and I'm using a phone for video. It was hard to keep it steady due to the zoom level that I used on top of it being on the completely black background of the sky. It was making strange sideways and up and down motions, which is hard to tell on the video due to a lack of reference. I watched it for another 2 minutes then went inside to grab a witness. By the time we got back outside it was gone. I also realize for some reason the phone did not capture the green of it that I saw. The green that I saw was as green as a green traffic light. I would estimate its height at around 6000 feet and around 5-6 miles from me. The blinking in the video was when it would go behind a power line.

We suspect that the correct date is June 16, not May 16, so we have changed the date above, and sent message to the witness, in order to confirm. PD

At approximately 9:00PM, I was in my backyard attending to my BBQ. From the corner of my eye I saw a extremely bright flash that lit up the entire neighborhood. I looked and thought for a second someone had shot off those massive fireworks. Two extremely bright red glowing balls of light were now sitting in its place, silent. As I pulled my phone from my pocket to get a video they started to move together eastbound. They remained extremely bright red, almost like a hot air balloon. They move together in tandem at approximately 80 knots at an altitude of 3,000msl. No position light or anti collision lighting was observed. As they moved east the one at the rear disappeared completely. The one in the leading position continued until it flashed a number of times then disappeared. The video does not do justice, these objects were incredibly bright casting a red hue over the ground as they moved. I am a professional pilot and know just about everything fixed wing and rotor craft display at night. These were completely silent.

I saw this illuminated craft making short fast 90° degree zig zag angles and it was telepathic.

My wife and I were heading out to get some late-night ice cream when a string of bright orange-white lights in the sky froze us in our tracks. The reason I stopped the car was because the lights were so bright, there were so many, and they were moving in a strange way. We both jumped out of the car and I proceeded to run down the street to get a better look. Six balls of light emerged from behind the tree line at the end of the road and rose together to form a straight line. Upon closer examination, I could see smaller blinking colored lights on each larger circle of light. I wouldn’t be able to say exactly how far away they were, but I would guess a few miles. These were not commercial airplanes. Instead of flying in one path like a plane or helicopter they traveled straight up, in curves, and close together, at times seeming to almost touch, to form patterns. I took a picture that shows three of the lights in a triangle with one light alone at the bottom. We watched these lights drift away out of view, and when we drove to the end of the street we saw another light rise from the same tree line. I looked up weather balloons online and they don’t look like the lights we saw and don’t move the same way. I don’t know much about how satellites get into space or if there was any military or government activity that night. I do live near major airports and military bases. One thing is for sure, these lights were very strange and I have never seen anything like it. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

The object had four light for each corner. Three red and one yellow/orange. It looked like there was a faint grey outline of the whole thing. It was going over slowly, then sped up quickly and finally just faded altogether. It wasn't dark out yet, the sun was just starting to go down.

I watched for three minutes and had to enter a building for work and upon return 1 minute later they were nowhere to be found. That's where the silvery-chrome balloon theory fell apart. Amazing. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides llittle contact information. PD

Went outside and saw many disks with flashing lights coming from the east and south seeming to go to the same place! My dogs stopped what they were doing to look up at them and my puppy yipped at them.

I woke up in early morning to go to bathroom as usual. Outside the window, a bright star caught my eyes. Then I noticed it’s not like a star, it’s about 10 times bigger than stars. I never saw a big star at that spot. I looked steadily at it. It seems getting bigger and bigger and moving towards me. There’s red lights flashing around the lower right. This is definitely not a star. It’s on the east side of sky. It’s just hanging in there till the sun comes up and no longer can be seen In the bright blue sky.

Barrington, NH
Traveling east on 202 at around midnight after performing at an open mic in Maine, I looked up in the sky and noticed a large stationary object with very large bright lights. One red on in the middle with three or so white lights around its edges. It was so striking I pulled over and attempted to take some pictures and get a video. I got one photo but was so shaken that my video did not record the craft. It started moving towards my location and then banked east towards the seacoast. That is when I could see the crafts outline. The lights were very bright and in the night sky it looked metallic with sharp defined edges. It flew like nothing I have ever witnessed and I have run large air shows at the former local airbase in the past. Once it banked, I lost sight of the craft and was not able to find it again in the night sky.

I got off shift at midnight, and was driving to Walmart to pick up a few things, when I sighted a bright light, shaped like an orb, moving south to north. I was driving north to south. It was bigger than Sirius, but smaller than a full moon. At first, I thought it was a medical flight plane, because of the appearance and flight path, but it was slightly too far to the east to be on the approach to the airport, which is north of town. I slowed down to watch the object. As I watched, a red orb appeared to the right of the white orb, which was slightly smaller. Then two more orbs appeared to the left of the original. Both were bright, pure white like the original. The continued traveling north for a few more seconds until it broke apart and dispersed into nothing. From my estimation, it went from about a half-mile to a quarter mile away at its closest, and well probably 200-300 feet up. And as it traveled north, it went from about 35 degrees up to approximately 45. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

On Thursday June 15, 2017, the night was clear, so I decided to lay down on a pool recliner in the middle of my house backyard in South Phoenix, by 67th Ave and Lower Buckeye Rd, to watch the sky; I had my Barska 20x80 Binoculars by my side. The night was uneventful, and after 30 minutes of not seeing anything out of the ordinary, I was ready to get inside the house, and it happened, high up there, at 80° travelling slowly North-NorthEast; it must have been in outer space, I noticed the spaceship because the bottom lights turned on and flickered for 3 to 5 seconds (the lights were like beams forming a V shape with a smaller v in the center, making the lights four beams), and then they went off; since I believe the object was in outer space, it must have been huge in size; I got my binoculars immediately, and looked for the object in the direction it but travelling I wasn't able to locate it anymore... I got so excited and shortly went inside the house to tell ! my wife... This was the once in a lifetime sighting; Over time, I've witnessed other sightings, in the form of silver disc shape objects and silver orbs, but nothing like this... This is a motivation to keep watching the skies. :)

Paulden, AZ
Last night, on Thursday Night, at approximately 9:55 pm, until 10:05 pm, 6/15/17, my Wife and I took our Dog out before calling it a night. I also contacted my parents who live about 4 miles East of me and they also saw the lights. I called my neighbor that was with me last week and he also saw them this time as well. We noticed some strange lights to the South South East of our area fairly low in the horizon. At first we noticed Eight white lights moving slowly up and down separately from each other and within about 1 minute the number had increased to Ten. This lasted about 10 minutes. The lights looked to all be individual and moved slowly in an up and down pattern as well in opposite directions. They also got brighter and dimmer as the event was happening. The lights appeared to be about 20 to 25 miles in the distance and looked to be over the Prescott Valley to Dewey cities from our position in Paulden. This was very similar to my report from last week exce! pt the lights appeared to be getting bright to dim much faster. At approximately 10:05 the lights started to fade and headed in a Southerly direction and slowly vanished from our view. I did take a couple of photos with my cell phone camera and I will try to forward with the report. I am a bit more skeptical about whether or not this could have been some sort of a military operation since it was so similar to what I saw last week? Although the white lights had no sign of navigational green or red lights that one would expect of aircraft.

St. Louis, MO
UFO Report filed 06/16/17: On 06/15/17, at 9:05 pm, standing on our deck preparing to barbeque, I saw a light in southeastern sky that was moving toward my position gradually. I noticed that it looked different from an aircraft (we live south of St. Louis airport so airplanes are common and frequent) and had an orange/red glow much like a flame so my first guess was that it could be a hot air balloon. As it got closer, I tried to listen for the familiar sound of gas burners but was surprised at its total silence. It soon lost the light and moved to more of a north course as a very dim sphere. It seemed to speed up and soon was beyond the trees on our horizon to the north. The entire siting lasted approximately 10 minutes. Upon reflection, I don’t recall ever seeing a hot air balloon past sunset and never saw one move so fast. Also, I could not discern a fast wind to propel a balloon.

Stevens Point, WI
Our two-story house sits on the north side of a street that goes east/west. We are directly at the end of a T intersection. Another street starts at this intersection and goes south. On June 15, 2017, at 19:30 (7:30pm), I was doing some planting in front of the house. The sky was clear and the sun was nowhere in my line of vision. Standing, I had turned and was facing a large flat window on the house, about 3.5’ from me. The window faces south. Because of the thermal properties of the window, during daylight it is difficult to see anything inside, and everything outdoors is clearly reflected back. I happened to be looking at the distinction of everything reflected and saw a bright white sphere, approximately 20” in diameter, travel east to west about 35’ directly above our street. It was traveling about 41 mph, if my calculations are correct. It did not waver up, down, or side-to-side. It appeared to be following the street. There was a slight visual softness about it that I consider to be an aura. It produced no audible sound. I turned around to face the street and search the sky to see if it might return. I’m still standing there one minute later (with the house to my back) when directly above me I see the sphere re-appear about 10’ above my house, going north to south at the same speed as before and again, absolutely no audible sound. This time, when it gets to where the edge of the street starts in front of the house, without hesitating it dips down about 5’ and continues to fly straight south. I noticed, instead of flying directly over the road like it did when it went from east to west, it flew about 15’ to the west side of the north/south road and flew just above the tree tops. There did not appear to be any comet’s-type tail or other lights, only a complete bright white sphere. I immediately recognized it as being the same type as I had encountered twice previously. This sphere is the same, if not identical, as what I saw and had hit my car while driving on the interstate on August 26, 2016, (3 miles away but also at the same time of day - please see that report) and also on October 22, 2016, (same location as now on the street that intersects with ours but during the night and that one flew south to north and further to the west off the intersecting street – was also witnessed by another person – please see that report). For more than 20 years, we often stargaze at night, watching stars and satellites. These white spheres are unlike anything we’ve ever seen. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and we were impressed by her apparent sincerity. We suspect that she is a very capable, and reliable, witness. She corrected the date to June 15, 2017, and we have amended the date above. PD

My girlfriend and I were driving back from clear lake towards Watertown, when we saw a very bright light moving at an extremely fast speed dip down and disappear in a flash. We thought it could of been a shooting star, but after mentally replaying that orbits behavior we firmly believe it was something extraterrestrial Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information.

Chula Vista, CA
This incident occurred in Chula Vista, CA, between 5:00pm and 5:36 pm. My Daughter and I are in town to assist my Mom after a surgery last week. My Mom’s Neighbor invited my Daughter and me to take advantage of their swimming pool while she and her Family went out of town to go camping. So we decided to do just that. In her yard she has a lounge and as my Daughter and Niece were enjoying the pool I decided to lay on the lounge to relax. As I was laying in the lounge I noticed a plane flying really high in the sky. My Mom regularly has planes fly fairly low while waiting to land at Lindbergh Field. This plane was definitely cruising much faster and much higher than other planes. This was when I noticed a faint white star in the North Eastern sky as I was lying facing North. It was clearly above the plane that flew by. The star was faint enough to lose the image of the star in the ocean of blue sky in So. Cal if I looked away. I used a palm tree to pinpoint the faint white star and kept staring at the star because it seemed to elongate then turn into a pinpoint, but I figured it was because I was literally staring at this star in the sky and my eyes were playing tricks on me. I decided to open up my star app on my phone, my Daughter and I love to use it up where we live in Auburn, CA. The star app showed the tail end of ursa major or ursa minor I don’t quite remember which constellation. In addition I am not sure if the app was calibrated properly. Another plane flew by, again high in the sky, but not in the path of the star, which I thought was strange because I first saw the star because of the flight path of the first plane. Then I considered the current plane is probably flying from a different airport to a different location hence the different location of the star in the sky. I continued to stare at this star when all of a sudden a red round light appeared right next to the star. Appeared is not the correct explanation it faded into view. This red light pulsed and faded into itself. The size of the round red light was smaller than the size of a round sewing pin when it was wide open and it disappeared when the pulse collapsed in on itself. I sat and stared at this pulsing light that was way above the next plane that flew by. It circled around the white star all the while pulsing. At that time I thought I was seeing things. No way could a red pulsing light be so high up in the sky circling around what I thought was a star. So I called my 11 year old over and asked her to lay with me. We use specific words to pinpoint stars in the night sky regularly so I directed her to the faint star in the sky. She said, “Oh my god Mom! I’ve never seen a star in the daytime before. Is that a planet?” Then she said in a concerned tone. “Mom, what is that?” I asked her to describe what she saw. She said, “What is that pulsing light? Mom? What is that light circling the star?” She had a little fear in her voice. I said to her I was not sure what we both were seeing and that I’m glad she saw it too. We both laid there and watched this pulsing light slowly move around the star one last time and then it moved east. A tiny little pulsing red light expanding and collapsing in upon itself about 12” to 16” in the sky and then poof. It was gone. I continued to watch that star for an additional couple of minutes and then I realized. The faint star had moved North East in the sky about 6” toward the palm tree. After thinking about this incident for the last couple of days I realized that stars move from East to West in the sky and that star moved East so slowly that I didn’t realize it until after I stopped looking at the star and took one last glance up. What I saw was not natural. It was not a meteor. It was not a plane. I have no idea what we saw.

I was shocked, keeping my eyes on it I was trying to get off the freeway to get a better look to see if it was moving. As I looked to change lanes, when I looked again, it was gone!!! ANYONE ELSE SEE THIS?

Around 3:30 pm, I looked up in the sky and saw a black cross-like object. At first I thought it was a bird, but it was way too high, the wings did not move and it was way too fast. Then I thought it may be a small plane (I live near the Albany County airport), but it was moving from side to side too quickly. It darted off to the west and I lost sight. Thought it may be a drone, it was high enough to require FAA license, but moved laterally too quickly for a fixed wing aircraft (at least in my estimation). Maybe some kind of military aircraft.
