Their was some clouds so I waited to see it again but never saw it again. Never saw lights like this in the sky. Did any one else see it ? Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

I went to take a rest from the flea market, and was shaded by a large bush. I laid flat on the grass and had amber driving glasses on, in addition to my myopia lenses. I was looking straight up to the zenith, watching airplanes from LGA airport, etc.. The sun was almost but not quite overhead, and shaded by a leafy branch, so I was able to gaze into the blue without the sun against me. The clouds were minimal and there was a slight haze and I had a little coffee to drink and was relaxing. Slowly, but suddenly, like a ghost appearing, there was a distant craft proceeding westward and slightly northward at an angle, slowly creeping. It had a distinct boxy appearance almost like it had "solar panels" on both sides, and there was a faint blinking sidelight hard to make out because of the bright conditions. It was at the limits of my visual acuity to make out any detail, but it was optical in nature as I was able to play with the image using my fingers in a triangle pinhole lens and saw it refract. Soon after this, to my right (north), a group of approximately 5 (or more) of the same "craft" appeared in a rough and slowly jiggling polygon along with an extra slightly off to one side ("apple"). This cluster slowly appeared out of nothing, and they too had faint blinking lights. There was no entry direction, and were ghostly in appearing. It stayed like this for about 2 minutes and then as if on cue, all of them slowly faded back into nothingness without any abrupt motions. The lone craft from the beginning was proceeding in its same linear direction and still visible, and then that, too, slowly disappeared in a ghostly fashion. At the end of this, I checked the sky without the amber lenses and saw that the area where there was the cluster of the craft was blue without clouds and only some haze as it was a hot day. The lone craft was in an area of very thin cloud. They did not act like drones and there were too many of them, and they just appeared and disappeared. They did not get bigger or smaller; there was no noise and they all looked the same. I had thoughts of some kind of refraction from a remote area, but the behavior and the coincidences of this happening don't seem to fit as being manmade, which is why I make this report to you.

Square shaped object, equivalent to the size of 3 or 4 hot air balloons hovering over Independence Blvd near Town Center. The square shape appeared to have 2 legs about half of the length of the square's diameter. It was grey in color. I took a video for about 20 seconds with my phone as it hovered moving away from Independence Blvd. heading west. However, when I replayed my video, for some reason I only captured 3 seconds. Nevertheless, I did capture the image, but it is blurry. I took the video from my car while I was in traffic.

As I watched I threw flashlight signals at it with a phone and it seemed to have came apart from itself into 2 objects, then back into itself. Very bright and very close it moved in a direction toward me and then back. I did not see it leave but just slowly continue to ascend. Made video record of it and felt intimidated like I was being watched so I left the area I was in. It moved in a very strange hovering way. Guessing it was most likely the size of a large bus in oval to round shape. As it was being recorded, it seemed to shimmer and go from orange color to white. Sighting of Venus, we suspect. PD

Saw a flashing light in the sky from my window. The object flew by just over the tree line with no sound. A few minutes later another one was spotted. This time it was flying even lower. I could make out multiple lights on it, none like I've seen before.

The object looked like an orange and yellow fireball appearing to travel downward and towards the north, towards the earth from my perspective. The object was in the western part of the sky. It had a tail pointing toward the sky at an angle of about 70 degrees from the horizon. The object did not look like a plane, but more resembled a comet.

My wife alerted me to the sighting and called me to come out of the house to see it. She was very enthusiastic about it and exclaimed “Isn’t it neat!” The orbs were approximately 1000 feet above ground level, moving fast (more than a hundred plus miles per hour, I estimate) and mostly stayed together in a series of loose formations, yet there were some lone “stragglers” that would come along after groupings of 5 or 10 had moved along together. They were luminous, but perhaps not self-luminous, as they may have been reflecting light from the setting sun. The orbs also appeared to be “pulsing” light. We live within about 4 miles of Reagan National Airport and the Pentagon; so, the direction they were traveling would seem to have taken them near, slightly south, of both locations. I took a short video of the sighting with my iPhone. We have not seen in the news media or heard of any reports to explain what the orbs were.

I have a great view of lamentation mountain from my back patio and am a regular star gazer with or without telescope multiple nights a week. I was sitting out on patio on Saturday the tenth, watching the stars, and noticed a strange thing. My house is directly on the flight path to Bradley airport, so I know the regular tracks of planes. In addition, the sky is dark and clear enough to see the space station overhead on most nights as it passes. I noticed what at first took for a satellite passing overhead as it had that pinprick of light effect. White/blue and very dim. Then I noticed another light behind it following it. Very similar in size and color but it did not move in a straight line. This object weaved back and forth in a fluid like manner while following the first object across the night sky almost like a dance. This occurred as it went south west to north east over head lasting about a minute before I lost both objects behind some thin clouds. It definitely was not a plane as the objects were very fast and the second object weaved about in ways a plane couldn't, totally silent. Definitely fascinated me even though every hair on my body stood up as I watched it happen.

Me and my two step-sisters were sitting on our back porch. It was my older step-sister who suggested the idea. After 30 minutes of sitting on the porch I looked up at the sky. I saw a bright light (as bright as Jupiter) and I said, "What is that?" The object looked exactly like a star, but it looked like it was dimming from a cloud (I couldn't tell because it was dark) My younger step-sister asked, "What is what?" and she turned at the exact moment the star looking object took off in a flash. It went right and all in the duration of 1 second leaving a light trail for less than a second. I was freaked out and went star watching tonight but didn't spot anything there again.

I'm late reporting this. It happened either June 10 or the 11th. I saw a black dot in the far distance moving right and then disappeared when a plane from Midway airport was closing in on it. I tried to film it but the camera was picking up too much brightness. I don't know what is was. Today is June 17th and was just hearing alot of sightings happening with Mothman lately in Chicago, so I thought I would report this.

The object went behind the trees within about 5 seconds, but when I ran out down our driveway to get a better view, I could see it continuing to move in a straight line from West to East. I have a flight radar app on my phone and when I checked it right afterward, there were no planes or helicoptors shown to be in the area. It was very bizarre, to say the least. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Sure. It was June 10th (a Saturday) and it happened in the middle of the day. ((END ADDENDUM))

While mowing my grass, I noticed the sound of a loud jet engine. I looked up and noticed a fighter jet flying over and circling my neighborhood at a low altitude. I ran in the house to get my phone to take a picture of the fighter jet. Upon returning to my front yard, I looked off into the distance to locate the fighter jet. At that time, I noticed a round object hovering off in the distance, near the fighter jet, at a very high altitude. It was visible to my naked eye, but when I zoomed in to take a picture of the object, it would not show up on my camera. I continued to watch it hover for about 30 seconds, with no apparent sound. The sphere then darted to the right, made an immediate stop, and hovered for about 5 seconds, before it darted back to the left the same distance and continued to hover. At this time, the fighter jet was not visible and had disappeared off in the distance. After hovering for another 5 seconds, motionless, the sphere took off across the sky at an incredible speed, covering a great distance in a very short period of time, and disappeared beyond the tree line of my back yard.

My friend and I were driving through the country and stopped to use the restroom on the side of the road. As we were getting back in the car we saw a bright light in the sky. Of course the stars were out but the light got bright enough for both of use to look up at it. As we look a smaller light blasted off/zoomed from the larger light off into space.

At about 10:15 A.M., I was talking to my neighbor outside on my porch, when I noticed high in the western sky a black orb looking object with luminescence. I then ran inside and grabbed my camera. The object was slowly moving south east, but stopped and changed directions several times, even moving north. There were times when it was not moving at all. It also seemed to cloak at times and bi-locate once (jump from one space to another) and there may have been a couple other white orbs in the vicinity. It's hard to describe the shape of this object, and I will let the video footage speak for itself. It was not a balloon because it was changing directions, stopping, appeared to cloak a few times, and was even motionless at times. My neighbor and I witnessed these strange aerial phenomena for about twenty minutes. They just seemed to vanish into thin air and disappeared out of site. I was unable to capture on video the other orbs because there were no background clouds for reference, so I couldn't see them in my camera. I was astonished at what I was seeing. The object just seemed to vanish in thin air as it was heading north. I have two video clips. The one with me talking is at normal speed. It is quite shaky, because I did not have a tripod. In the second clip, I slowed the video down two times and added a sound effect for entertainment purposes. You will see at 53 seconds, in the slow video, that the object appears to materialize out of thin air, or de-cloak. My neighbor was with me, but could not see the black object, but he claimed to see three others nearby.

At least 25 UFO floating in the air. Seem to stay float in a still position and about 2 of them seem to "dance" around.

We wonder whether the witness might have been looking at a "twinkling" star, or perhaps a planet. The still photo, which was forwarded by the source of the report, indicates a tiny, blurry object, seen against a dark nighttime sky. We are unable to certify that it is an authentic UFO. PD

I NEVER wake up at 4:15 in the morning, but this morning I did. Sitting at my kitchen table, I looked out the window and saw this phenomenal bright, (what at first I thought was a plane coming into SFO, but they don’t land from the East.) It was intensely bright and had several other ‘stars’ around it that kept moving around the area of the large ‘star’. In going through the pictures I took on my cell phone, (through my kitchen window with screen,) The first pictures, after brighten them, came out looking like an alien. Of the 3 videos I took, only one shows anything - but nothing like I saw. After the ‘alien looking pictures came the other pictures I took through my kitchen and then front room which has no screen. It seems as though once I was filming or taking pictures, a dark cloud would cover them… Really friggen weird, and I have seen UFO’s before - but not in a long time. This all was about 4:30 a.m. June 10, 2017
