Craft appeared suddenly from behind a small cloud in the sky. Star-like/satellite-like figure moving north east originally regarded as a satellite before making an abrupt stop. The object continued to move making two more abrupt stops before suddenly zipping off and losing light towards the east. An airplane was observed 30 minutes after the craft sighting, and looked nothing alike. A satellite was observed 15 minutes after the craft sighting and kept a steady path, much dimmer as well.

I was taking the trash out, and on my way inside, I was looking at the moon and the stars. There were some clouds but not many. I then saw what I thought was a dim satellite flying across the sky, and within seconds, it went black, when suddenly a very bright flash appeared, and the object flew off at an incredible rate of speed in a different direction. I have never seen anything like this and I'm hoping by posting this someone else will come forward who saw it also. I could not tell what shape it was because I could only see what appeared to be one light. It was not flashing which is why I thought it was a satellite. No satellite has ever moved like that though. I immediately ran inside with goosebumps on my arms and told my wife, and then called my brother to tell him what had just happened. The entire event only lasted a few seconds but I will remember that forever. WOW!! I'm not sure what I saw but it was amazing.

6-10 small "airplanes," flying from the south from Phoenix all in a straight line, hovered, then suddenly dispersed in all directions. Prescott Airport workers report, "Work at the airport and there were no special air operations scheduled for tonight." Others report, "When I first saw them, they looked like a stacked configuration seemed to take forever to get near, then they were more strung out some sort of night maneuvers I suppose, guess it was not an invasion I saw eight, maybe 10". Others reported, "They were all hovering over a field across from my house. They we're together the whole way then after a few min they all separated going different ways. We counted 17 total." and "It looked like they came from a field, flew around a little, and hovered over it, then left going different directions." Multiple reports with multiple photos having been taken. I have at least two.

As I was looking at the sky to the south, I observed a red light, with a flashing green or blue light, traveling from the south and heading northward. At first, I thought it could be an airplane, but the red light was too large and bright. It traveled in a straight line and stopped for a few seconds and remained stationary. It then moved west a few degrees, before continuing on the original trajectory northward. It then stopped again and remained stationary for about 10 minutes. This location was around 15 degrees to the east of the planet, Jupiter. This was a partly cloudy night and the object was below the cloud ceiling as it was never obscured by the clouds. I tried observing through binoculars but was too jerky to get a clear sighting. It did, however, appear to be 2 red light with blinking blue or green lights through the binoculars. There was no sound at all. It then started to move slowly back south, would stop for a while, then proceed. It seemed to pick up speed, as it traveled south out of view.

Welton, AZ
While merging back on the westbound I-8 from the Ligurta Truck Parking area, just west of Welton, AZ, between 9:30 and 10:00pm, Thursday, 6/8/17, I noticed a V-shaped cluster of yellow lights in the southern sky toward Mexico. After a few seconds, they disappeared all at once with a slight decay. It looked like someone had turned off distant, but powerful, lights, and it took a second for the filament to fully dim. Could also have been them disappearing behind distant clouds. It was confusing and I thought maybe I had witnessed some sort of reflection onto my drivers side car window that went away as I drove. I continuously looked into the southern sky, but never saw it again. About 20 minutes later, between Yuma, AZ and El Centro, CA, I noticed a pilot in a small propeller aircraft doing aggressive maneuvers in the night sky, intermittently turning on and off 2 lights on the ends of each wing of his plane. Perhaps he was doing night time crop dusting. I also later heard there was fire in the area so could have been dropping flame retardant as well. As this is an agricultural area, I assumed I has seen lights on the wings of crop dusting plane or planes. But now not so sure after reading the other reports from further north at the same time.

Paulden, AZ
Last night, on Thursday night, at approximately 9:45 pm until 10:00 pm, 6/8/17, my neighbor and I were sitting on my front porch, enjoying the clear cool evening. We noticed some strange lights to the South South East of our area fairly low in the horizon. At first we noticed four white lights moving slowly up and down separately from each other and within about 2 minutes the number had increased to seven. This lasted about 15 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. After about 15 minutes the lights started moving in a southwesterly 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 would like to know if anyone else had seen these as well? This appeared to be a similar situation from what I have heard and seen of the Phoenix lights years back.

I was outside taking photos because the sky was beautiful that night. I back inside and I swear something telepathically told me to skim through the numerous photos I just took and stop on this one in particular. My eyes immediately went to the bottom right corner and saw this huge ufo. Zooming in on it is crazy. I can’t explain what it is. Then I also took a photo that looks like a strange face, a bright oval light and 1 that is skinny & long. I’ll attach them all

As the object neared, a second object (same color) appeared from the same direction. Shortly thereafter, a third object appeared. They appeared to be ‘globes’ and moved in a somewhat fast rate of speed. There was no noise. Their movement was very ‘smooth’ (no quick movements). Object 1 traveled towards us and, at one point, began ascending straight up (it disappeared). Objects 2 and 3 passed the house (to our left look at the objects). As they passed, I noticed what appeared to be a single light (underneath) the object. I could make out a black shape (outline from the light) but could not distinguish what it was. That is, they flew low enough for me to see that it did not have a bank of lights. I am confident in saying that it was not a plane as I did not see wings. The light was bright and did not flicker or pulse. I have seen and heard drones when deployed to Afghanistan. This was not, in my opinion, a drone. I am forwarding a picture captured of object 2 and 3 from our deck. I have other pictures but the size of the file would be too big to email. These were taken from my android phone (Samsung). Note that although it appears to be a ‘globe’ it is my sense that what you see is the light (under?) the object. I cannot confirm that it was, in fact, a roundish shape. Both ((wife's name deleted)) and I observed this. End of report.

Colorado Springs?, CO
While driving from work (Highlands Ranch, CO, to my apartment in Colorado Springs, CO, while stopped I took a picture of the Sun descending behind the Rocky Mountains, fairly common thing for me to do, on the evening of 06/08/17 at 2028. I am sure at the time I didn't notice anything unusual or would have thought more about it, so at that moment it was just a sunset. I transferred my pictures from my Iphone SE to my laptop and never thought about it, as I was working a lot of hours at the post office. Well yesterday (06/19/2019) I am going through my pictures on my laptop and came across a very odd one. Towards the sunset there is a large dark parallel column from the clouds to the ground. I zoomed in and at the top there appears to be a single stationary object in the cloud, silver with a very flat top. Thought it might be just part of the cloud, but never seen a cloud like that. There is nothing that was on the window of my car that would have caused t! his or on my phone. Not sure why but I took a second picture zooming in on that area and there is no black parallel column. Attaching both pics for you to look at. I was afraid to show or tell anyone my suspicion cause, I didn't want to be looked like I was crazy. Only showed one other fellow photographer and she said it looked weird too.

I went outside to feed the dogs and heard a low humming above and in front of me. I looked up to see a disc-shaped craft coming towards me fast, it stopped a few hundred feet above and behind the power lines, hovered a second, then took off faster then I've ever seen anything fly. Up close...if you blinked you missed it. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be both sincere, and serious-minded. We have posted his photo to our website, although we have no idea what the object in the photo is. We allow for the possibility that the anomalous object could be a bird, with its wings swept far forward. The lack of symmetry suggests to us that the object may not be an alien spacecraft. PD

Yellow/Orange round light, hovering just above mountain top, random intervals of extremely bright to very dim. Also seemed to have two smaller round lights to each side and occasionally 1 to 3 bright white flashes appear around it. Shape of craft I selected was "Light," but more like energy or fire. When at its brightest it would outshine all stars and artificial lights and once the morning fog and dew came and blocked the stars, could still be seen under the mist, above mountain slowly moving South to West.

So, I had prepared to bed, I noticed one blazing and shining object away from me just two or three blocks. My backyard is so opened air placed and my apartment is on the 16th floor. That light had been there when I realized. So, just I had watched for 1.5 hours and then went to bed, but still light was in the sky and a little bit came towards my building at the time of the drawn and the sun popped up.

Did y'all have any reports of a strange lit up object over the Nacogdoches sky's tonight? It was bright and had a kite like tail that moved back and forth. It stayed in the same spot for about an hour, then drifted off up into the sky, until it disappeared.. I filmed it but it with my phone, but its way up in the sky…

There was little light pollution and it was a very dark night. We had been seeing strange moving lights and then on June 8th 2017 we noticed a very bright flashing light that had no regular pattern. There had never been any tower or anything in that area where we observed the light. It changed in intensity and color also. This light was visible for again on the following night. It seemed to move closer and side to side up and down and further away also. We took video each night. We lost our google account password where the video of the object was stored and recently regained access to it. It was visible for several hours both nights and never again. The light was so bright at times it almost blinded a person to look at it.

Okay, so, I was in my room (which is located on the second floor of my house) watching a UFO documentary on YouTube via my PS4, when outside of my window I saw an orange orb just still, not moving. I was watching a UFO documentary because, back in May, I had creepy dreams about being abducted by ufos and kept waking up to my window glowing Green light, and feeling a sense of sleep paralysis. My window would also sometimes containing a bunch of computerized 0s and 1s, so I was doing my own version of "research" haha. At first I got nervous, and tried to use deduction to figure out whether it was simply a plane, a rocket, a weather balloon, or something unidentified, but then it began to act strange. It stayed still for a good amount of minutes, which I couldn't make sense of, but took the opportunity to take a picture anyways with my phone (my hands shook out of nervousness so it came out looking odd instead of orb shaped). All of a sudden though I saw some blinking planes (I assume they were planes) heading towards it, about two of them at first, and the orange orb started moving DIRECTLY UPWARDS. Not diagonal, just upwards, which made me think of a rocket for a second. That's when I took my phone again and started recording it, but my hands kept moving and I was breathing hard out of nervousness so that also came out bad. Eventually it passed the planes, went over my house and when I stood outdoors, I noticed it no longer looked orange, but instead, was hard to see and blinking. Then it went over the trees and vanished, followed by 4 planes. Once it went over my house I took like 7-10 secs to get outside so it could've vanished then and afterwards what I saw blinking was one of the now 4 planes following the same direction, but I don't know what to make of it. The video I took had mysteriously ended up in my email trash bin, but maybe I hit something by accident and caused that bit. I have further seen this orange orb 2 or 3 more times in July around the same general location each time, and someone else in my room witnessed the last time with me, but I haven't bothered to try and get more pictures. Also I am not saying this orb that keeps coming back is an alien, but it to me is unidentified.

We were driving home, and someone noticed a bright, red light in the sky. After a few seconds, we all saw it. It was a bright, red circle of light, with what looked like a triangle on the front. It moved from north to south. It was first spotted about 60 degrees up, towards south. It then continued to move across the sky in a southwardly direction for about five minutes, until it reached about 30 degrees up. It then disappeared, during the time it took to get from the front of the house to the back (we got home right before it disappeared). It looked something a little like this: "O>"… i.e., a red circle, with a triangle on the front.

When my sister and I were playing volleyball outside, I saw a bright light. As a space fanatic, I thought it was a UFO. My sister disagreed and said it was a plane, and we continued to play. I looked back at it seconds later, and the light weren't flashing like planes do. My sister then started to believe me. I stared at it for a couple of seconds, and right before my eyes, it was slowly moving, and disappeared. I was in complete awe.

Parker/Aurora, CO
Occurred : 6/7/2017 4:45pm Reported: 6/8/2017 Posted: Location: Parker/Aurora, CO Shape: 3 darker objects each with lights Duration: 5-10 minutes Moving 3 darker objects spotted between approx. Parker/Aurora (perhaps Smokey Hill area) area over E-470 from person in Parker/Franktown – video and video screen captures available. Every so often, objects would rotate and project beam of light. Perhaps 10-15 miles away from viewer. Objects spotted and perhaps 10 mins total observation. Speculation the objects were there before viewer spotted them initially. Objects initially appear to be somehow connected as they undulated together in the sky as if they were connected, but later one of the objects broke pattern with the other two and did its own maneuver and then returned to the other two, and then the three of them continued maneuvers together. Due to the undulating pattern, it is not thought they were just one object such as a dark plane with three lights (since one did separate from the two and then later rejoin) since the viewer has witnessed planes heading to or from DEN as the viewer knows the flight path over e! ast of Parker Road and basically down E-470 to DEN. Objects went higher in elevation, lower in elevation, east, west, north, and south – moving further away and then closer in several different patterns, some looping, some more block-style in nature. Ball lightening ruled out since ball lightening doesn’t last this long. Total movement from time noticed until they disappear into the passing storm that was hitting Aurora area at this time was maybe 10-30 miles. This seems too far for a controlled drone or drones and drones don’t seem to be able to fly in unison like objects. Drones also don’t seem to have such bright lights as object were maybe 10-15 miles away. Objects did not appear to be metallic, but some kind of darker material, so doesn’t resemble photos seen of weather balloons, and weather balloons don’t seem to have lights or ones that were so bright as the objects did. Objects were making various loops, appearing to stop in mid-air, rapidly going from left/right (West/East) but were generally following either an Easterly or North-Easterly direction. During this same time, a large storm with hail, rain and lightning was passing from West to East north of the viewers position with the objects between the viewer and the storm. If this was under human control, why were these maneuvers being carried out extremely close to a monster of a storm? The viewer cannot think of any plane, drone, etc that can make such maneuvers. iPhone 6 video was captured (2 min 45 sec) in zoomed in mode. No rain at time. Video shows birds flying around and trees for perspective. Video is a bit shaky. There was no water on the camera since it was not raining yet when the video was taken. Viewers voice can be heard on video wondering what they are. Objects were seen by viewers eyes and captured on video. Still images are taken from the captured video since the video is somewhat shaky.

Looking at it closer, I noticed it was not moving. I took off my sunglasses to see if I could see it better, but as soon as I did, that it disappeared. Putting them back on, you could easily see it again. I figured this was related to the polarized lens....very weird though. I immediately changed my direction to head north towards it. Driving very fast, I was only about 2 miles from the object that was only about 3,000 feet in the air. I had never seen anything like this in my life. As I got closer the object began to move. At this time, I immediately felt light headed and a headache ensued (which I rarely get...related idk). At the same moment hundreds of birds began to flock away from the object from the adjacent tree line. It changed its direction a few times and began to head north. I hopped on I-57 towards Chicago and drove very fast so I would not lose sight of it. As I did this, the craft picked up incredible speeds towards increased altitude dramatically. If I had to guess, roughly 15 times faster than a typical 747, but this is likely an underestimate. I was dumbfounded, concluding the only explanation is new military technology or extraterrestrial. Unfortuantely, the object moved so fast that it disappeared in the distance in less than 30 to 45 seconds. I decided I would turn around at the next exit at this point as it was long gone. I slowed down a bit because I noticed an unmarked all black police car flashing white, yellow, red, and blue lights pulled off on the side of the interstate. I could not identify the model, as it was a car I had never seen before, and I know my cars very well. I would say the closest car would be a Chrysler 300 with a sleek body kit, maybe it's the 2018 version. Who knows. As I approached it, I noticed it had US Government plates, with no other vehicles pulled over next to it, and I could not see into the windows as I passed, they were tinted which striked me as odd. I thought it might be related to the presence of the craft so I kept driving past the next exit. I continued on the expressway for another 10 to 12 miles to see if anything odd would appear. As I began to merge into the right lane to get off the expressway I saw it again...maybe 10 miles West of me hovering above a radio tower. At this point I tried to snap a photo, but figured it would not work as I could not see the object without my polarized lens. I got off the freeway and headed west towards the object which was likely above Frankfort, IL. At this point I noticed a prop plane heading towards it from the east and two dark planes flying in formation from the north. At this point I was only a few miles away from it, but as the jets approached the craft it accelerated south at a very high speeds. The best pa! rt was the fact you could see it breaking the sound barrier within a matter of a few seconds. It picked up speeds so fast and headed into the skies where I lost sight of it within 10 seconds. I pulled off the road to turn around and see what types of planes where approaching. They were two fighter jets, maybe the F35 but I couldn't say definitely. They had no chance of keeping up with the object though. I hopped back on the freeway and on my way back home I noticed a strong presence of police cars. I saw 15-20 in the 20 minute drive home. As I approached my town I noticed more police lights, a fire truck, and ambulance which was weird because it was right where I began to have a headache. There was a car in the ditch on one side of the road and two cars that collided at the intersection. Maybe it was just all a coincidence though, but it was very odd coincidence. I reviewed the photos I took and I managed to capture the object on one of them, which I will upload. I watched the six o'clock news to see if anyone else reported it, but no news at all regarding craft, military testing, fighter jets, etc. Hoping someone will see this post and possibly confirm some of these events. Lastly, I have been keeping an eye out for an odd activity over the last few days. I noticed a strange, constant light that traveled much faster than the any of the other planes that fly over my house the night after the initial sighting. Additionally, I worked outside the day after and today on the landscaping. I kept hearing roaring jet engines over the house. This occured 6 or 7 times since I saw the object on thd 7th. Unfortunately, it has been cloudy here since then, but I can only confirm that I saw a fighter jet on two of these occasions during the day. I've lived hear since 2004 and have only seen a fighter jet once so all of this is very odd. Hope someone else can provide an explanation. Thanks. Note: the attached photo is the original unedited photo. It has the object on the right side, if you zoom on you can see the radio tower in the distance 10 to 15 miles away or so. It is directly above the radio tower.
