Colorado Springs, CO
Seen in the morning sky above Pikes Peak, from the stationary Camera that provides an online picture every 60 seconds. A halo connected by two white dots. Minutes later it had moved upward, then sideways, then downward. Photos indicate a curved, multi-colored object, which could be a kite, we believe. An alternative explanation might be a droplet of water on the lens of the camera, giving rise to a refracted image of a parked railroad car. PD

I noticed a light in the eastern sky while driving home, so I parked and started to watch it with binoculars and the night vision app on my phone. It was clearly neither a plane nor a helicopter, due to the way it hovered without circling like helicopters do. It just hovered a ways up in the sky, but I could not tell what exactly it was over, couldn't see that far. Very gradually it began to rise eventually, very slowly. When I looked through the binoculars, it looked like a cylindrical or rectangle shape with red, white and blue light, in bands. Very bright. When I looked through the night vision it appeared to be a cube and appeared to be rotating rapidly! Completely different without night vision, as then it appeared stationary. The dawn was breaking and it kept rising in the sky, but very slowly, straight up. I kept watching until it finally couldn't be seen anymore due to a cloud it went into, about an hour all told. Possibly a star or Venus?? PD

We were out enjoying the birds and the river early this morning and saw a very bright white light in the sky to the southeast. After grabbing the binoculars we were able to see that it appeared to be a round or oval shape which had lights around it. I did take several pictures and when you enlarge them you can see a faint light in the sky. It did not move during the 45 minutes to one hour, we observed it and was still there when we left to come in. We have not seen that light before today. Possibly a star or Venus?? PD

We immediately noticed ANOTHER STAR headed in another direction where it mimicked it's....duplicates actions, and another one would catch our attention, at times we would observe two u.f.o's displaying similar actions at a time, throughout the night until daylight faded away the last visible star. Periodically one of the "airplane" objects would appear usually headed west/east, of approxamentally THIRTY to FORTY U.F.O's. Throughout the night we observed, only one set of lights (accompanied with the sound) were familiar to us as a jet.... Our necks hurt. NOTE: SEEMED AS THOUGH THE CONSTILATION URSA MAJOR A.K.A "BIG DIPPER" MAINTAINED A STEADY POSISTION LOOKING NORTH.

I was walking my dog at the condominium complex at approximately 22:25 where I live and saw in the eastern sky what appeared to be a stationary star that started to glow with increasing intensity and brightness for 10 seconds then quickly faded until it was no longer seen amongst the other stars in the sky that night. I wonder if there were any telescopes that captured this anomaly in the eastern sky that evening? Heavens-above.com indicates that no "flare" from an Iridium satellite should have been visible, at the time, and on the date indicated by the witness. PD

Yes. Very simple. I live in the middle of Las Vegas, NV – never seen a UFO before. Last Tuesday night (6-30-17) I stepped out onto my balcony and saw a muffled helicopter chasing one white dot at very high speed due East, then both objects darted to the North, heading straight towards Nellis AFB. I made a quick report to 911. Dot moved like a UFO; the chopper moved more like a fighter plane. I wasn’t going to do this report until I heard you with George on Coast last night. Thanks. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Gila Bend, AZ
some time between 9 and 9:40 pm on may 30th on the interstate 8 coming home from California.. I was watching the sky for falling stars and first spotted and watched a sattelite cruising by. Then a flashing light caught my eye, as i watched it i saw others sort of following it, but if so they were in an exact formation of distance from one another. There were 4 at first.. And as i moved further east and away from lights they appeared to have a curvature. As those lights moved north/northwest 2 more flashing lights appeared below and after the first 4 however overlapping below the 4. i watched until lights were too far behind me to see any longer due to headlights in my vision behind us.. The lights were white in color and much larger then stars in the sky they flashed at a set pace and individually. I assume it was some sort of air force manuever, as i have not heard of anyone else seeing these lights at this time. We have changed the time above. PD

Birch Tree, MO
I was camping on my land in Birch Tree, Missouri. I was asleep in the RV, it was 1:45 AM, Tuesday May 30, 2017, when I was suddenly awake. I did not know immediately why I had woke up, but as I lay there, looking out of the window I noticed a very large, very bright star above the trees. It was about four times larger than the other stars and bright like a stadium light. I had all the windows and blinds open that night to allow the breeze to keep me cool. I watched the “star” thinking that I had never seen one so brilliant before, and suddenly four lights came out of the “star.” I watched, stunned, as these four lights began blinking or pulsing and flew around the early morning sky. The large light, which I had thought a star, stayed higher in the sky, but the four pulsating lights flew lower, closer to the ground. The where perhaps 100 feet or so above the earth. They were whitish in color, not as bright as the original but they were blinking or pulsating, not sure how to describe it, and flying not randomly but back and forth like they were searching. I was paralyzed with fear, not wanting them to know that I was there. Suddenly, in a fraction of a second, everything around me flashed very bright then dark again. I quietly get up and close all the windows and blinds, hoping to go unnoticed to the four flying “orbs.” They were not really round, rectangle box shaped with rounded corners. I laid back down, so I could peak under the curtains and that is when I noticed the blinking round light inside of my RV. I was really doubting my own eyes at this point. It was above me in the corner of the RV. I was hoping that there was a hole in the roof. I looked around me and everything inside was very dark except the glowing round light in the corner of the ceiling in the RV. This whole thing had been going on for about twenty minutes. I was more frightened than I could ever remember. I felt helpless against these lights. That is when the RV moved, I was hoping a bear had pushed against it. Then I heard the clawing and scratching coming from the left rear (across from the round light). I was again hoping that it was a bear, armadillo or very large mice trying to get in. I finally just snapped out of my motionless state and grabbed one of the headlamps that I had close by and turned it on. The round pulsing light was gone, the noise stopped and everything appeared normal. I at 2:00 AM telling them what I was seeing. My mind fought to find rational reasons for what was going on. I turned the light back out around 2:30 and laid back down. I peeked under the curtain and saw the large “star” still in the sky. The round light that was inside my RV did not return neither did the scratching noises. I had my two cats with me, one of them hid and the other stayed with me and was very nervous. I have no Idea what time I finally fell asleep. I have heard about UFO sightings but I had never thought that they would be so frightening.

I went outside and looked up at the sky. All of a sudden an extremely large bright elongated teardrop shape fluorescent to dark jade green light flew across the sky horizontally. It was moving so fast, it was a matter of seconds and I couldn't see it anymore as it made its way from the western sky to the eastern sky. It seemed like it was flying low. It was far below the stars or the path of a plane. There was a very bright white flash of light behind it. There wasn't any noise. No other visible objects or colors were seen.

As my daughter and I forgot went out of the back door of our home to bring our dog inside, we saw a bright light directly over our area. We proceeded into debating about if it was a plane waiting to land at Sky Harbor, but it fooled us different. As we watched from our yard, the lights on the object turned orange, then brown, and back white. Shortly after the light changes, the object shot up in an upward motion incredibly fast and disappeared.

Driving into my neighborhood and saw 3 neighbors looking at the sky. I looked up and saw three very bright, orange orbs in the sky, sort of in a line. Not a straight line, more of a loose scalene triangle. 2 of the orbs were much brighter than the 3rd. They didn't move. I went inside my house and came back out 15 minutes later. The fainter orb was less visible but the three orbs were now closer together, forming more of a typical triangle. I drove back past my neighbors who said they tried to look at the orbs through binoculars but the orbs were too fuzzy. As I left my neighborhood, I looked up and it appeared that the orbs were moving quickly away. I tried to locate them again 2 minutes later when I turned toward the direction they came from, but they were gone.

Looked up into sky on the way into my apartment, when I saw 2 circles flying in a cigar like formation. They made no sound, and appeared to be spinning. They were both black and had no lights visible. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

One orb followed a plane heading east. A second orb heading west flew and took an abrupt 90 turn into the clouds, north.

Menominee, MI
May 29th, 2017, I was on a job in Menominee, Michigan. Supplies for my job had not arrived, so we ruturned to the motel for a day off. We were staying at the ((motel name deleted)) on the Bay which has a nice area overlooking Green Bay. I was sitting out there watching the boats and such and enjoying the nice weather and just in wonder at the beauty of the sights. It was a kind of cloudy day but not dark so I was watching the clouds and day dreaming a bit. Wishing my Wife was with me to see the beauty and such. As I was looking at a large, solid cloud bank, it suddenly was pierced by a shape I instantly recognized! Now I know it sounds weird but I swear it was the same shape as the Ships from 'The Invaders' TV show. Or the Haunebu that was said to exist in WWII. I ran to get my camera and got a shot of the cloud penetration as it was desolving. Nothing came through the clouds! It was if it was invisable but it left a very clean out line that I can still draw to this day. It did not form over time but just appeared in a blink! One second a solid cloud bank the next second the shape. No sounds, no vapor trails, no other odd sensations I could detect. Even the ducks swimming near by did not react in any way.

I had just stepped out side and I saw something in the southern sky. I saw a blue to a teal green light with a smaller white light to the east of the blue one. Both lights looked to be part of the same object. I first thought I was looking at an airplane turning to the north. All the sudden the blue teal light gets very large and bright at the same time. That lasted no more then 2 seconds, then the white light grew in size and got brighter as the blue teal one shrunk in size. But did not grow to the size of the blue teal light. The lights looked to have had a grey haze around them. The white light shrunk to a dull red to amber color and disappeared.

I went out back to smoke a cigarette while on the phone with a friend of mine. I noticed what appeared to be an aircraft, very low flying coming from the east and heading west in front of me. A rain storm was just hitting my area so it would have been normal for a low flying plane. I recognized it as a plane because I noticed the red steady light and the green flashing light. Suddenly, the red light dropped straight down and was out of view behind an enormous tree, about 4 house lengths from where I was standing, I interrupted my friend who was speaking at the time and started explaining to him what I was seeing because I couldn't believe it. The plane instantly became a red glowing orb and was doing a figure 8 pattern behind the tree in front of me, it would drop down heading west then pull up and around and head east over the top of the tree where I could see it. It did this a couple of times - then as it was heading west again above the tree it stopped dead! in front of me. I couldn't move, a part of me thought to run inside but my body wouldn't move. It stayed still in front of me for a count of about 7 seconds I would say, then it instantly became an "airplane" again with the blinking green light and continued west in the same straight "flight" pattern it had been on initially. The orb was a constant red light - not flashing and it's edges were fuzzy. Also, when it stopped in front of me there was what appeared to be a dark line through the center of the orb. It's hard to say how close the object was to me, but after seeing the area in the daylight today, I'm thinking that it was probably a 1/4 to a 1/2 mile away from me, over the main intersection in our town. I've never seen anything move like that - I wish I had gotten a video of it but I was so shocked, all I could do was talk to my friend and explain what I was seeing. My body shook for a couple of hours afterwards. I've read about UFO's and I'm not a disbeliever, but seeing it first hand is quite an eerie experience, I just had the weirdest feeling it was watching me.

Observed orange lights rising from west to east and continue to gain altitude moving east. As an orange light would rise another would follow. This continued for approx. 1 hour. This could have been going on before we started seeing the lights. Tried to use binoculars (8x 20x40) could not distinguish shape.
