Quincy, WA
While camping at Ancient Lakes, we first saw what appeared to be a single flashing white orb moving erratically, with some sort of beam that circled around the orb with various colors. After about 5 minutes two additional white lights appeared that created an extremely large triangle with the first. At that point, the original orb seemed to be shining spotlights at the two additional lights, eventually creating an outline of the entire ship. Shortly after, two additional smaller triangle ships appeared to the north and east of the large ship. This remained in the sky for approximately 15 minutes. During this time our cell phones did not have service, then the service came back before morning.

Black triangular object floating upwards in the sky near I-5. Too large to be a kite. It finally disappeared out of sight.

I had gone out back for some fresh air and happened to look up. The corner of the solar panel was blocking the sun and I saw multiple orbs glowing in the sky. They seemed to fly in all directions and in no set pattern. I was able to shot 15 photos and a short video of the objects. It was a cloudless day, no breeze to speak either. I will leave it to you dear reader (viewer) to determine exactly what they where.

Hillsboro, OR
Was outside in the backyard, and noticed a metallic highly reflective object in the sky to the south of my neighborhood. It really didn't move much, it just hung there in the sky, no sound at all. Through the binoculars I could see it was an irregular shape, but definitely some kind of metal reflective object. We live near a small airport and there were airplanes flying around the area at the same time. They must have seen this thing? I took a video of the object and some photos. After almost an hour in that one spot, it just disappeared. I didn't see it leave, it literally just disappeared before my eyes.

Weare, NH
Over the course of the night they formed strategic patterns, they seemed to all be eliminating light bursts to disrupt of communicate with each other, it was lighting the ground they were so intense, it was an all out invasion, I have never seen them in such groups before. My neck hurts from looking up for 5 hrs.

Craft flew in from the east. It stopped midair at an angle for some seconds. It lowered down and then came back up. It then took off south west. Police said no military exercises that night, and no emergency craft reported in area. There was also no sound from craft.

Very large craft that I thought at first was an airplane. But moved too slow, even seemed to stop at one point, and was HUGE. Then saw move "sideways," very low in the sky, and took a path no plane has taken to airport in this areas. Had what appeared to be three lights at first, but when moved to side, could see at least 4 lights and they light up bottom side of biggest thing in the sky I have ever seen. It seemed very close to me and made an odd, low rumbling noise, but not very loud, and did not sound like airplane engines.

san jose, CA
On may 18, 2017, at about 8:55 PM, i saw an object in the sky over the east foothills. It was red and shaped like an upside down "U". The red was very bright and it looked as if there were red dots (or lights) under each of the sides a bit less luminous. The object moved from a stationary position (hovering) to a straight down and out of my sight then returned to the same hovering position location. I first saw it at after several seconds. The object then made a fast move directly west (to my left) and the hovered..dropped down out of sight, then back up and a fast move back to the east to the original place I first saw it. I attempted to call my son at that time to get him to acknowledge I was not crazy but he did not answer. So I went back outside and it was still in the same place. I continued to watch it hover for at least 5 more minutes then it disappeared and I saw a huge circular object (that was at least 10 times the size of the original red object) glide up and out of the sky...the thing was dark but more like a shadow or almost invisible or like you could see through it and observe it at the same time. I am still in shock!

Paragould, AR
Outside in drive way, wife noticed a weird beam of light. It was traveling low but at very high speed, no vapor trails or flashing lights. Seemed to be shooting out some sort of beam the best i could describe it is like what a scanner beam looks like in scifi movies. It sent out maybe 3 beams and vanished in the distance.

pink hazy egg-shaped light, no real definition saw while driving, noticed it a few times so it seemed to be stationary, must have been in the sky at least a few minutes because I was driving (west on highway 12). I couldn't get a great look at it.

North Charleston, SC
I was walking my dog and a shimmer caught my eye above me. When I looked up directly in front of me at @ 45 degrees, I first thought it was a birthday balloon. I quickly realized it was much much larger. I had on a very good pair of sunglasses and had a clear unobstructed view. The object appeared to be tumbling and moving from south to north. It reflected the sun intensely and intermittently. I observed the object for about 4 minutes until it vanished. I would estimate its size to that of a car. Altitude approximately 8-9000 ft. The object made no audible sound.

Bowie, MD
The sky was clear and blue. at 3:15PM I was driving east on Route 50 from D.C. towards Bowie, and a very bright (stronger in intensity than, say, Venus) light suddenly appeared in the distant sky straight ahead at a 45-degrees position over the horizon, for approximately twenty five to thirty seconds. Since Route 50 was congested I could only glance at it about five or six times during the 25-second period. Each glance lasted about two to five seconds. Then it was gone--just vanished. I continued to watch where it had been until I got to Route 301 to turn off and there was no plane or dark object that would indicate an aerial vehicle producing it. When I got home I checked the map and it appeared to have been high over Annapolis or Edgewater, Maryland, a distance of 17 miles from where I saw it. But that's a guess--it could have been farther away.

Spokane Valley, WA
Thursday May 18, 2017-12:21 PM, Spokane Valley, WA It was noonish on Thursday. I was working in the backyard. I heard a plane and casually glanced up. I to had to look again because I didn't understand what I was looking at. I saw a large plane, like a 747, with what looked like a triangle flying next to it. I was looking to the north. The plane was flying east, at fairly high altitude. There was silver or white triangle flying on the right side of the plane just back from the nose of the plane. The triangle was shaped like a very narrow paper airplane. It was traveling at the same speed as the plane and was about half as long as the plane. I watched the two fly above a cloud and then come out the other side. As soon as they hit the cloud, I ran for my phone but, by the time I got my phone on they were too far away to see on my camera. I know what I saw. It was in the middle of the afternoon on a sunny day with a few clouds. The plane could not have taken off at our local airport because of its high altitude. Had it taken off at GEG, it would have been much lower. However, Fairchild AF base is very near the airport. I guess maybe it could have been one of their planes. The triangular shaped craft was either white or silver. It was not a like any plane or a helicopter I've ever seen. Oddly the plane left a contrail but the triangle craft did not

Wilmington, DE
We saw a missile type object shooting into the air, north of Wilmington, while preparing for our shift at work, all three of us thought we were firing a missile, we ran inside to check the news after the object dissipated to see if there was any others that seen it. after scouring the internet we didn't see any launches scheduled for today so we decided to post it here and see if anyone had any knowledge about this object.

I saw about 4 or 5 fly low and heading to the same location. They looked like some kind of Lego built craft with lots of lights. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

on the night of the 17th of May, I was in my backyard , observing the night sky with my telescope, after setting it up and trying a few different eye pieces , I settled on a 25mm eye piece to just take in a wide view , having set my focus , I stood up, and took a broad view of the sky ,At that moment , a large bright object appeared on my 10 o'clock ( i was facing dew east) so, 2 o'clock facing north . The object was massive , maybe 300 meters in lenght , the light was an even extremely white light, I could see the front of it as being round in shape, elongated , it was approximately 3 miles down wind and traveling due south , as if to follow the shore line of the Atlantic, as it passed directly in front of me the mid section of the object began strobing lights , 5 maybe 6 of them covering the entire side of it, flashing randomly , as it began to move away from me I could see the rear of the object was as the front , round in shape , light not flashing , It covered a distance of 15 miles (apprx) in about 15 seconds , I would estimate elevation under 3,000 feet because there were some cumulus clouds.. No noise , no contrail, silent , smooth , and menacing in size..

As I said, the lights were solid, not flashing like aircraft lights. There were also many stars visible that, of course, weren't moving. Not sure what they were, but I've never seen anything like that. I'm really just curious if anyone else saw them, and exactly what they were. Thanks

There was alot of other activity last night in the sky but it seemed farther away that the bright orange lights we seen.

New Milford, CT
Two very bright round star like lights that moved about then the smaller attached itself to the bottom of the larger. A set of jet like wings appeared on each side that resembled light beams. Craft appeared to just be a very bright complex stationary star as above for 30 minutes, then suddenly the craft moved from the mid northern sky overhead sideways towards the north just as a high flying jet would although the two wings were perpendicular to the movement and a bright beam shined its norhternly path like a long headlamp beam. It moved quietly out of sight. At first this stationary object appeared just to be the most brilliant star in the sky, between north and south horizons, and as far away as all the other stars. This event lasted from 9:00 pm EDT to 9:50 EDT. The UFO returned without notice, and when I tried to take a photo, the object appeared now to be a horseshoe shape of about 9 attached lights that changed their brilliance so my photo wasn't clear. When it returned it took a place at the same altitude but a bit more in the southern sky. It moved slowly as the stars move across the night sky until it was directly in line with Jupiter making it impossible to distinguish the planet from the object possibly in front of it, but Jupiter had become the brightest object in the southerly sky by this time

On way to Fort Worth on 121 from Frisco, TX
Bright light shot up into the sky, and paused for a moment. Imagine a sheet of rubber band material, you pinch the center and pull it back and release it. That is what the light looked like before it zoomed off into the sky. Like it bounced through the fabric of space and time. It was such an oddly bright white light, too. It was too bright to get a real look at the shape of it. A second or two passed, and then it happened again. Like another ship following the first. It zoomed into space in the same exact way.
