It was a red, non-blinking light, hovering at a great altitude. It was too high to see any structural detail. It seemed to be circling slowly. When airplanes headed in that direction, the thing would move off at an extremely high rate of speed. When the airplane moved away, the thing would move back in, again at a high rate of speed. After about 10 or 15 minutes, it left the area for good, again at a very high rate of speed, much faster than a helicopter or airplane.

The craft, 12 of them, were floating very slowly, forming a rectangular cigar shaped formation, first 4 of them leading the other crafts, moving very slowly with 2 triangular shaped small crafts following the bigger cigar shaped rectangular formation with one craft guiding in the middle. There was no sound around all these crafts. The crafts looked clear and transparent with a larger crafts guiding some of the smaller crafts that also formed a triangle shape following the rectangular ones. There was no beings in the craft. The witness did not experience any abduction or sense of missing time, etc. The light weight and transparency of the craft almost like a fabric, clear white, which made it suspect that it is a ufo not a drone. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and exchanged several e-messages with her, and she seemed to us to be unusually sincere and serious minded. We suspect that she is a highly reliable witness, and has reported here honestly. PD

Little Neck, NY
Sunday morning, June 4th, at appx. 8:30 AM, I was out for a walk to pick up some breakfast, and I happened to see out the left corner of my eye, a shiny type of objet which appeared to be reflecting the suns light looking eastward (towards NYC) and at first I didn't think much of it, until after I noticed another plane traveling the opposite direction. When I saw the other plane pass, the object appeared to be moving closer in my direction, & it seemed to me at second glance it may be one of those planes carrying an advertising banner - heading out to Jones beach, because I saw what appeared to be something wavy behind the object. As I stared at it a bit more, because it seemed unusual to me, I realized the object seemed to almost pause in its flight, and that's when I realize there were in fact two objects, and one appeared to be doing what I can only describe as a kabuki dance around the other object, and that's when I started seeming some orange color which appeared to be emanating from the bottom of these objects. At this point I took my cell phone out of my pocket & tried to capture some photo's and movies. I had to move to an area where the sun wouldn't quite be in my eyes because the object was west, but the sun was glaring off my back (as it was still early in the morning) and it was hard to zoom in and focus on the objects, but I did manage to capture some videos and a few stills of the objects. Upon reviewing the pictures I took, I realized how not so great cell phone cameras (at least my Samsung Note 5) seems to be a focusing on somewhat distant objects with an 8X zoom, but I do have some videos and still frames I'm happy to send along, or will attach to this report if provided. I looked at the objects slowly move across the sky from north to south slowly, seemingly doing this circle around one another routine, until at one point right before they vanished, they seemed to either merge, or one of them just vanished, and after about 8 or 9 minutes, all of a sudden, they were gone. I did not see the objects suddenly take off, it's as if they just vanished! Very strange sighting, especially since this was early on a Sunday morning, on a sunny morning.

first spotting it out through my kitchen window. then moved to the front door, right next to kitchen. that is when i spotted it down below the row of trees, at end of road. which is about four car lengths away. then the orb just seemed to vanish. it acted if some kind of intelligence was behind its operation. the size of this white orb was not much larger then a basketball. then it occurred to me the night before i notice the same bright white light moving through my back yard.even then it was not moving very fast. it was if it were looking/searching for something. i have seen on my inside home security camera see through moving orbs. they seem to be coming out from under the bedroom floor. i could not see them with my naked eye, but the camera picked them flying through walls and so forth. i do not know if these orbs are same as the bright white orbs.

Hamilton, MT
ON 6/4/2017, AT APPROXIMATELY 0250 HOURS, I HAD PARKED TO GET OUT AND STRETCH. I OBSERVED TWO VERY BRIGHT LIGHTS IN THE SOUTH SKY, AT APPROXIMATELY A 45 DEGREE ANGLE TO ME. I LOOKED AT THEM AND WONDERED WHAT STARS THEY WERE. AS I KEPT LOOKING AT THEM, I REALIZED THE OBJECTS WERE MOVING SOUTH VERY SLOWLY. I BELIEVE THE OBJECTS WERE VERY FAR AWAY AND SEPARATE, AS THEY APPEARED AS STARS. I NOTICED, AS THE OBJECTS CONTINUED SOUTH, THAT THEY WERE MOVING IN PERFECT UNISON. THE OBJECTS THEN BEGAN TO SERPENTINE LEFT AN RIGHT IN UNISON AND BEGAN TO SPEED UP. THE LIGHT THE OBJECTS WERE PUTTING OUT THEN BEGAN TO DIM. THE OBJECTS THEN SEPARTED AND ONE WENT UPWARDS AND SOUTHEAST, AND THE OTHER UPWARDS AND SOUTHWEST. BOTH OBJECTS THEN WERE OUT OF VIEW.

Ok, it's exactly like 2 of the may and April reports from Des Moines. It looked like a spherical orange fireball or Street light in the sky. I got 1 pic that turned out OK. It came from northeast moving slow at first then came close to above town directly. Then it turned and sped up fast and disappeared behind trees to the north. No noise at all. No wind. I ran to higher ground with less trees and it circled around and came back towards me from the Northeast again. It dimmed and got brighter randomly. It was moving faster this time. Again, I get it excited for it to be directly over me. And it turns right before town again and goes and disappears to the north and never saw it again. It was insane. It changed speed, direction, brightness, but not color or shape. First time ever seeing anything like that. I was skateboarding after I got off work when this happened. The two people that described similar sightings in Des Moines. Their descriptions. Literally took my ! words out of my mouth. The 1 person described it as an Amber Sreet light and that's exactly how I described it. It's reoccurring. I know a lot of people had to see it. It was very obvious and attention grabbing.

They are too fast and flying up hill fast. At 00:38 the second so called "Bird" that follows the first so called "Bird" is flying about twice as fast as the first "so called "Bird". No bird can fly that fast and do it ascending in altitude. @ 00:46 top left and top centre left of screen two UFO's emerge. (small black shapes ) @ 00:56 They then start climbing straight up, faster than the missile itself. @ 00:59 See the UFOs react immediately and doing a 90 degree turn at the time the missile explodes. Birds can't do that. They were exact 90 degree turns. That's freaky. Report addresses a video about downing missiles with lasers. The video shows a missile being illuminated with a laser beam, and then exploding, a few seconds later. The source of this report comments below on the strange movement of what the commentator in the video describes as "birds." We agree that the flight characteristics of the "birds" appear to be unusual, and not compatible with the flight pattern of birds. We invite comments from others, who have watched the video.

It looked like a odd shaped circle that was moving side to side to side, but not moving forward it was just hovering below the moon. It was a bright white light. This is the strangest thing I've ever seen

The whole orange string lights lasted until 11:41pm, about 11 minute I saw the illuminated objects. The first 20 seconds on this video which is not mine, is what I saw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKPF0pgxaRM Video is very good, but contains coarse language.

The temperature outside is cool and there is no sign of clouds or electrical storms. The object kept moving back and forth (to the left and right) for several minutes until it slowly faded out.

Elk River, MN
June 3rd, 2017 @ 11:20PM. The 2 Witnesses (Father & Daughter) were traveling westbound on County Road 30, on the west edge of Elk River, Minnesota, just over 1-2 miles before the city border line between Elk River & Big Lake. Upon crossing the 4-way stop intersection of Joplin Street & County Road 30, the unidentified object suddenly appeared in our view (where the speed limit picks up from the 30mph zone before the intersection, to a 45mph zone after the intersection). The object appeared suddenly in the wide open clear sky, at a 1 o'clock position from our westbound direction of travel. The object would be best described as a VERY BRIGHT ORANGE "fireball" without a discernible shape, surrounded in a wavering BRIGHT orange "aura." The object was very low in the sky, as the few trees we passed along the north (right) hand side of County Road 30 initially obscured our view somewhat. I would estimate the altitude of the object to have been no more than 200-300 feet off the ground at the *very* most. County Road 30 runs east/west parallel, next to and along the Mississippi river along that stretch, on the north hand side of the Mississippi river. Distance from the intersection of Joplin&30, to the Pinewood Golf Course on Waco Street NW, is between 1-2 miles. When the "fireball" suddenly appeared it was only that distance ahead of us, just a bit north of the golf course, almost directly over top of Highway 10. Highway 10 also runs the same parallel east/west as County Road 30 and the Mississippi river, just a few blocks north of County Road 30. A little more than half way from the Joplin/30 intersection to the Waco/30 intersection, is the Sherburne County Government Center to our right (north), located along the south side of Highway 10. By the time we had traveled (1 mile) westbound on County Road 30, and were directly south of the Sherburne County Government Center (which was directly to our right, north) the object had already slowly and erratically moved a little southward and was now right over the golf course on Waco Street NW. We could clearly see the "fireball" had been moving southward, and was continuing to move southward. However, the object did NOT move at a steady speed. Instead, it was moving only a little south at a time at random intervals, stopping periodically in the sky. Also, with each southward movement, it randomly would travel to a somewhat higher and sometimes lower altitude in the sky. (Note: County Road 30 along that stretch is perfectly straight for a few miles, and perfectly flat. NO rises or falls in the road.) When we reached Waco Street, we turned onto Waco, and I immediately stopped the car to view the object which was nearly above us at that point. We clearly observed from the roadside stopped as the object continued its random erratic traveling southward in short movements changing altitude up & down also with each movement, for just shy of 2 more minutes. Also, throughout the duration of the sighting the "fireball" somewhat randomly increased and decreased in brightness. Each time it moved mostly the brightness increased. Each time it paused in the sky mostly the brightness decreased. All the while it maintained being the absolutely brightest object by *far* in the entire sky, other than the moon of course which was to the south (left) of us. Then the object, after being viewed from our stopped position at Waco & 30 for nearly 2 minutes, suddenly vanished, as instantly as it had appeared in the first place. At the time it finally disappeared in the clear open sky, it had traveled southward enough to had crossed over the Mississippi river to the south side of the river. From beginning to end, from Joplin/30 intersection to the time it disappeared south of the river, the entire sighting had lasted between 4-5 minutes.

The 4 lights would take to box shape then line formation. Several times 2-3 of the unknown objects would disappear below the horizon and within a few moments reappear without trace to extreme heights and back into a formation without movement again. The unknown objects would converge on one another at very rapid speeds and then disappear for a moment, then reappear back into a shape. Please note that our view has zero obstructions, no trees, no hillsides, no city lights, no cellular towers. The objects gave off a reddish orange glow. Again, we are very familiar with this area and unlike anything we have ever seen. There were no planes or helicopters flying in the area. The objects were visible for over 20 minutes. They completely disappeared into the night sky approximately 23:35. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite sincere and sober-minded. We suspect that he is an excellent witness. He is former military. PD

The object started near west (~260 deg) and continued to east alternating between very bright flashes and dim flashes over different intervals. It crossed near the rate of a plane but very direct. It was dusk with just a bit of light blue on the horizon and the stars of the Big Dipper were just becoming visible. The brightness for a brief flash was as bright as the surface of the moon and was consistently brighter than Venus. I checked HA ((www.Heavens-Above.com)), and nothing matched the discription. We have amended the time above, in order to reflect a nighttime sighting. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be serious-minded. We suspect that he is a very good witness.

It was a black oblong flying/hovering object, moving all directions, it would stop, go straight, then go sideways...then stopping and flying again, it would go stright up and down. It would fly straight then take wide curves. It would just take a 90 degree turns at a high speed and also straight 90 degree turns going up and down as well. Very odd flight pattern for a blimp. No wings. Broad day light very high in the sky just below the clouds. It appeared as of it were skimming just under the clouds. I took a picture of the Google map of our location as it started getting out of sight and it appears it may have been following the path of the river.

I was driving west on Highway 14 out of Janesville, WI, (Saturday afternoon) and looked north and saw what I initially thought were about 20 small parachutes in figure 8 formation in the sky (maybe 3/4 to 1 mile away). I then realized that they were too small for parachutes, (plus there was no plane nearby), so then I thought they must be birds, but the objects were too rounded for birds and stayed in this figure 8 form, rather than circling. They seemed to have a white base to them. No lights that I could tell. I continued driving, as there wasn't a good place to pull over, so I lost sight of this after a few minutes.

At first, a strange spray of orange lights, resembling a meteor, appeared in the sky. Than a white light appeared. Although far away, I took a photo and when I enlarged it the shape of a disk appeared. Business owner.

At first, believed it was a star but upon further investigation object was moving up and down and sideways, The light or object was not there prior to that time, We began fishing at 1800 hours on 6/1/17. It was very strange I felt like I was being observed, It was not a plane, It hovered behind trees for 2 hours, It went above the trees on side tree. I am really rather in shock. The animals were all riled up, Birds screeching, and all sorts of sounds coming from animals. Venus. PD
