Bryan, TX
On May 24th, 2017, at approximately 07:12 AM CST, I was driving SE on SH 47 (Riverside Parkway) in Bryan, TX. Just before taking my exit (HSC Parkway), I noticed a spherical, shimmering object hovering over the Snook, TX, area. It appeared basketball in size, silverish in color, and at a high altitude (1-2 miles). The angle on the horizon was approximately 75 degrees. This is close to Easterwood airport, so I initially thought it was a plane, then maybe a helicopter. However, the shape was not quite right. I was driving, so my attention wavered from the object to the road. It was a bright, clear day and I noticed no unusual sounds or nearby objects. As I was about halfway down the exit ramp, the object appeared to change shape into an oblong cylinder and then disappeared. It left no trails or smoke. The event lasted approximately 5-10 seconds. Weather conditions were as follows: Wind , WNW, 9 mph; Humidity 65%; Dew Point 54°; Pressure 29.8;8 in Visibility 10.0 mi. I have a master’s degree and am a middle aged male. I have a good understanding of Astronomy and Physics. I have seen videos of similar events, but was skeptical of them until now. Whatever that object was, it defied the laws of Physics as we know it.

I was outside having final cigarette before going to bed, I always look at the stars at night, I noticed what appeared to be a shooting star, the closer it came the brighter it got, I was getting excited cause it looked like it was go to pass over me, that would be the first time that happen, but it shoot back in the way it came in a flash. Never seen anything like it. No plane moves that fast so it is a unidentified flying object. I still don't know how to wrap my mind around what I just saw. I'm so sorry to all the UFO people I doubted and laughed at. If your seeing regularly then all I can say is wow

Bright white circlular light. Appeared to be about the same height as an airplane, but looked much bigger and was traveling much faster. Light got progressively dimmer as it appeared to travel away until fully out of sight before it had the chance to disappear over the horizon.

Redondo Beach, CA
Two bright orange lights that looked like orbs appeared over King Harbor. They made no sound. There was no wind. They moved up into the clouds, north by northeast at a fairly fast rate. When the two orbs disappeared and third light was seen. it appeared to be bigger and brighter and was moving towards my home. It stopped for a few seconds, hovering silently like the other two before proceeding to move up into the sky before finally disappearing into the clouds.

Northfield, NH
Shortly after 11 p.m. at night, I had walk out back of our apartment complex to walk to the laundry facility. Always looking up at the sky as I normally do. As I got closer to the laundry room door, I noticed past the other apartment building on the main road in the distance there is a river in which above that river caught my eye a giant ball coming straight down over the river. It was very white and bright almost little yellow on the outside of it. I can only explain that it almost look pixel like it was very very bright and something in my head just went wow that is way too big to be a shooting star and it wouldn't go in that direction straight down into the water nor would or could a star be that close to town that close and it was way too large. At that point the hair on my entire body stood on end I immediately called my husband who was upstairs in our apartment with our Sleeping Son. Which I will include that he did not. After a few moments of speaking with him on the phone I had proceeded into the laundry room to switch over the laundry. I been texted my mother. And proceeded to walk out of the laundry room I had looked up the area in which the North Star was position that evening which coming out of the laundry room was to the left side of me way up in the sky period I then noticed strange lights in the distance I thought that's not a plane at all is it a drone and then as I was looking at it I was very focused and drawn to it I begin to feel very strange the lights are with something that caught my eye they were red and white almost in square formation going white red white red flashing oddly and as I was fixated on this thing I noticed it change shape it was hard to see because it was night time but it was like the formation of lights changed and all of a sudden it was like it had shape-shifted to a strange shape I had never seen before at that point I ask myself maybe this is a plane and then I realized that it was pretty approaching fast over my apartment building coming straight down towards me hi knew that I had to break eye contact with it for some reason I did proceeded to yell for my husband where it was warm that night and all the windows and are building are open at least in our apartment by the time I got to the front steps of my building my husband was outside I was very disoriented very nauseous I was dizzy I felt very very strange. By that time my husband was outside and I was trying to explain to him what I had just seen and we walked out back together but the same time I began to get very anxious very nervous I was very uneasy I just wanted to go inside. At that point something with the strange lights appeared almost in the same facility where I had seen the craft and we didn't hear anything and it was very low but it appeared to have the same exact lights shortly after we heard the sounds of what appeared to be a plane but it was definitely not a plane and he could see to that it was not a plane it was very strange it was almost like lots of s! quare flashing windows on the bottom it was really weird they like illuminated all around this craft. There were no wing patterns on either things that we had seen and on the one that had seen by myself, there were no noises; it was eerily quiet outside. We spoke with the witness, and found her to be both sincere, and serious-minded. We have urged her to contact the press to get some publicity for the event, and perhaps have other witnesses come forward. PD

The other night, we smelled smoke and went outside to look around in doing so I looked up at the sky and noticed a strange twinkling what I thought was a star, suddenly above shot a white light across the night sky. My husband ran to get our binoculars and night vision goggles. We started looking and saw a few twinkling spots and through the binoculars there was blue, green, red, orange lights flashing on what I assumed was a alien craft. This evening we went outside and saw the same twinkling lights and as I looked I counted 11 crafts some of which the colors flashing brightly without any binoculars. With binoculars and night vision goggles we could see all the lights, our neighbors also stood outside with us looking at the many crafts scattered across the night skies. These crafts are very high in the skies sitting still as can be and completely silent. There were a few helicopters and airplanes what I could only guess to be investigating what we are witnessing take place. It's truly an incredible site to see the skies above covered in UFO's. I hope you find this information useful and I hope others have the pleasure of witnessing this amazing site as well. Thank You, ((name deleted))

8 lights appeared in the sky one at a time starting at ~8:50 ET and disappeared one by one starting at ~9:00 ET leaving contrails in a descending and uniform pattern. We have amended the time, to reflect a nighttime sighting. Possible hoax?? PD

Globe, AZ
I have a rather lousy picture (cell phone). I was observing the night sky at my cabin on El Capitan pass south of Globe AZ. The object (light) suddenly appeared and appeared to 'hover'. The object was pretty far away (possibly over San Carlos, AZ) and at a high altitude (40K ft? approximately the same altitude as jet traffic). What made it unusual is that the light suddenly appeared and it wandered slightly (was not in a fixed position in the sky). Occasionally, it would move slightly at seemingly high speeds as if to correct position or as it was having difficulty with a stable hovering position. It is not unusual for the military to perform exercises over this area. I do not wish to be contacted, just reporting what I saw.

North Salt Lake, UT
Date: 5/23/17; time 4:40-5:00; two witnesses. Appeared East from NSL over the mountains several kilometers away, object was circular in shape, emitting light that varied in intensity and shape. Object began emitting light rays that varied from spiky to wavy. After 7 minutes of doing this, object appeared to raise in altitude very quickly, and began emitting light rays again, after repeating this for approximately another 10 minutes, object disappeared suddenly without a trace or sound. Light behavior was very strange, almost as if object was being manipulated.

Silent, no lights, glowing gray, 2in diameter poles coming out sides about 6ft long. About 10 poles total. It was 175ft away 25ft off the ground going 25mph. During a snow storm. Egg was 8ft tall, and was open on the front, with a big gear looking thing on front. The gray glow came off the egg 2ft. Very stealthy and looked almost transparent. It was playing around over town then came up E 4th street in Leadville and headed east.

I was watching some clouds when I noticed a bright shining object come down out of a cloud. It traveled down just for a few seconds, turned westward, and flew a ways and disappeared. I tried to get my camera to photograph it, but it was gone. Then another one came down out of the same cloud, and repeated the actions of the first, but instead of going west, this one went east. Another came down and went west. for about ten minutes 6 or 7 of these V-shaped ufos repeated this scenario. I did take pictures of about 5 of them. Two of them seemed to be circular and the others were real bright white, and looked flaming

I reported this same exact siting about a year ago. The object is at the 2 o'clock position next to the moon. The object is an orb-shaped object that is metallic, reflecting sun light. It is not moving at all. I expect it will remain all afternoon as it has this morning. My wife and daughter also witnessed it. I can see it with the naked eye but appears to be very high up in our atmosphere. Tried taking a pic but was not able to get a good quality shot.

Sumner, WA
May 22, 2017 Yesterday was a beautiful warm day. The sky was clear with patchy clouds here and there. As it began getting dark, I was disappointed because as usual, the sky was overcast, and not many stars could be seen. Maybe around 11pm, I was outside having a smoke and looking up to the sky. Night before last, within about 10 minutes, I seen what I think were satellites. Two separate tiny white lights, like specks, no flashing or any other colors just steady white light zoom across the sky. Tonight, all of the sudden I see one solid white speck of light but it's much lower than the two that I seen the night before. Travelling fast, steady white light. I grab the camera but my screen is broken so I can't see what I'm aiming at. Pointed it in the direction of the light which I can see with my eyes but it's already a bit away from me. I did manage to capture a few seconds of it on video but the quality is poor. I had some house chores to do and made a late dinner. Remembered that I needed to send an email with photos attached so went upstairs to do so. I'm borrowing a computer from a friend and not used to Windows 10 and had to figure out how to download the pics from my camera. And I got sidetracked... Next thing I know, it's almost 4am! I turn off the tv and look outside and quickly notice a super bright orange light in the flight path but it seems to be descending. It was very low, grabbed the camera and pointed in it's direction. Then a bright white light comes from same direction and looks to be slowing down. I took five separate videos because the lights were busy - doing something for probably 20 minutes. Two of those videos did not come out. You can hear me on them but no video was recorded until the last few seconds of one. I was surprised and almost couldn't believe what I was seeing. All together, I think there was at least four lights - low, and they would break into different lights flashing - at one point, the first two lights were making a cross of red, yellow and blue flashing very quickly but that doesn't show on the video. I'm a bit embarassed of the quality of my video - it's extremely poor - Canon Powershot, video taken outside my upstairs bedroom win! dow through the screen. Diidn't have another angle accessible for viewing. Got just a bit nervous towards the end of videoing because a couple of the lights seemed to flash close. Don't know how to describe but my friend and I have captured many videos in the past and sometime when capturing unusual lights - it might not be noticed by the person filming at the time, but upon reviewing, it will seem like the light(s) will suddenly come up on you quick. Oh, and my cat kept getting in the way. In one of the videos, there's a weird sound, otherwise, it was quiet outside. I'm estimating some people around the Sumner, Pacific, Edgewood areas HAD TO HAVE SEEN THESE. I have no idea how low they were but from where I was watching, the lights were below. I almost called the cops because I've heard of other people doing that - to see if anyone else had called but it was after 4 am and didn't want to sound like a crack pot.

Los Gatos Mountains, CA
Some had been behind us for a second then we're gone then again and gone just before getting to the driveway. The rest were in sky (3 that I could see) blueish, greenish and yellow/orange tinted diff altitudes sort of triangle formation. Two were flashing from the canyon on the mountain or more. Like signals I'm not sure. But also was bright large glowing area in the steep parts of mountain multi colored but all lights mostly white with different hues I guess is the proper description? Did anyone else see this tonight? Maybe you can explain it to us? Thank you for any explanations at all. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I had just come out of my garage and looked up at the clouds and saw 3 bright plusing lights, the first light looked like it was being followed/chased. Then the first light looked like it stoped in the air and the second light slowed as it approached the first one, then i lost them both in a cloud bank as it has been stormy here today, then there were 2 flashes in the cloud. that was when i noticed the 3rd light coming up from the south very fast then that one got lost from my line of sight to in a cloud bank too. All of this toom place over a few minutes, i tried to get cell phone video, but i pressed the wrong button and didn't record anything. It didn't occur to me till after but there were no helicopter or jet sounds, i would guess the objects were at an altitude of 2500-10,000 feet as they flew up into the clouds. I waited for the cloud banks to pass to see if they were still in the area i saw them but they were not. I would guess they went back south or east or southeast, since it was clear to the other directions.

Landers, CA
I was one of the people with night vision goggles to confirm the object. The guide pointed there is a large object, low on the horizon, on the other side of the Giant Rock. We were all gathered at the South side of the Giant Rock, just on the side of the paved area. I had sensed something close by at same time the Guide pointed to the area of sky behind the Giant Rock. The window of view was very narrow, between Giant Rock and the smaller rock at the East side of it. At that point, I didn't have a NVG on hand, the object was very large, visible to the naked eye. A girl with NVG on hand handed it to me to confirm the object is a UFO as she was new to it and not sure how to use the NVG. I took the NVG and focused it to a clear view as it was blurry at that point. With NVG now, I observed the object for about 2min, flying West/Southwest towards and behind the Spy Mountain. It had a Diamond shape around it with a round center and a much smaller round darker area! at the 1/3 point from the bottom. It had a very pale orange tint to it at this point. Soon after it disappeared behind the Spy Mountain, the 2 helicopters showed up from the Northeast side across the valley, and next thing we saw was one of them chasing the UFO going towards South from behind the mountain. Please see other reports about the same event. PD
