Northville, MI
Looking west, we saw 10 twinkling lights just appear and move randomly about, but in a generally SW direction, sometimes moving slow and stopping and even disappearing and then reappearing, sometimes moving very, very fast - as if a swarm of twinkling lights were playing together. After they disappeared, two very large cigar shaped "ships" appeared out of nowhere with their front end glowing white and bright but not emitting light. They appeared in a same general area as the group of twinkling lights and moved slowly in the same direction - moving together at a slow steady speed. They were visible for about 45 seconds and then just disappeared. ,We are used to looking out our big picture windows all the time so we know plane and helicopter patterns and movement. These lights were nothing of this world.

I was on my back deck with my mother and law assembling a pergola. Something caught my mother-in-law's and my eyes in the sky in the eastern direction. What we witnessed were four extremely bright white orbs grouped in a triangular formation. One at each point of triangle, one perfectly in the center. The formation was slowly moving southeast completely silent. I thought it was airplanes flying in formation, but no sound, no exhaust trail. The orbs were also shimmering, almost like they were changing colors from pink to green and bright white. As they crossed the sky, they changed formation to single file.

Around 4-5 pm in the middle of an amazing song, everyone was enthralled by, someone next to me pointed to the sky and said balloons. At first we saw a few balloons...orange blue yellow clearly balloons that colored with strings on them...I turned around 30 seconds later. And what seemed like a bunch of balloons behind the close balloons all of sudden were white dots floating up down left and right... Not a ton of movement. It seemed as if they were watching/listening/feeling the festival. I've never seen anything like this so and I've always been interested in these kinds of things, so I decided to report it.

Durham, NC
On this date I was driving from downtown Durham to hwy 85. I stop at a stoplight and saw a bright sliver shape circle and thought maybe it was just a plane. I turn away for a second and the object was gone. I thought maybe it flew behind some trees but there was no trees in the area an not a cloud in the sky. At this point I realize I just saw a UFO, I drove off and still could not see the object. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Lake St. Louis, MO
My uncle and I were driving to leave St. Louis to go fishing, when we saw what looked like a grayish bluish shape, traveling extremely fast above us on the horizon. It was traveling at least 5 to 10 times faster than any chat can travel. It appeared in front of us for only a couple seconds before disappearing. It was very low on the horizon and quite close. It couldn't have been a "shooting star" as it was much much too close to the ground. But it clearly was not an airplane. Neither of us have any idea what it was.

I was sitting on my window edge just talking to some friends in a call. My window is on the 2nd floor of the house so a good 20 feet above the ground. As I was sitting there I saw an object flying off in the distance. I took my headphones out to see if I could hear any noise from it as it was flying relatively low. There was no noise coming from it. The object also emitted blue and red lights and at times white lights. The first time it came around and moved across the sky it flew really smooth and fast for an airplane which I don't believe it was. After it flew out of my sight of view I began to keep an eye out. Around 5 minutes later, it reappeared from the same area. This time however the blue light stayed on the whole time and the red light it had blinked between bright and dim. A very subtle detail I saw was that the object seemed to move a little faster whenever the red light was brighter and slowed down when it was dimmed. The object also was flying si! gnificantly slower the 2nd time it came back as it was in my field of view for a few minutes rather than just one. The only thing in the areas it went to that it could have checked out were ranches and open land.

Myself (67) and my son (38) had just gotten home and were about to go in the house. I looked up to see the pretty, bright moon. Sky was clear and I saw a round, bright glowing sphere moving from east to west almost above us. Hard to know how high but I would say higher than propeller planes fly. It was silent and no blinking lights. It flew in a straight line for about 10 seconds, and then to our shock.. it stopped! That is when we went into the house! I looked out our south window and kept track of it. It moved very, very slowly east and by the time I went to bed at 1:45 a.m. it was sitting in the west sky above our town - not moving. So, I don't know what time it moved on.

Green light stood still for two seconds then immediately shot across the sky at extremely high speed. Much faster than any object ever seen flying in the sky. I saw it while driving on the 10 freeway passing Crenshaw Blvd., going westbound.

The wife and I were sitting on our deck, looking at the stars and the waxing moon. It was around 9:00 P.M. on a cool Spring Sunday night. The sky was clear and cloud free. The moon was @ 95% full. I was looking over the roof line of my house towards the south and east. My wife was looking south and west. Suddenly there was a flash of light over the roof line in my sight of vision. It was an intense, luminous emerald green color. It looked like electrical sparks with arcing shards of current. It appeared to be 3 or 4 times larger than the moon. From the center of this matrix emerged what appeared to be a round or slightly oval orb with what looked like a lightning bolt trailing it. The short trajectory of the object curved @ 180 degrees (like the letter C) and it stopped at that point. The trailing energy field that followed the orb was visually sizzling (no sound) like the fuse of a firecracker and eventually subsided. The orb was standing completely motionless at that point. If the moon was a basketball this orb would have been a softball. I yelled at my wife to look at the object and she stood up in time to see it begin to pulse and speed away. It shot into the tree line and disappeared. I have never seen anything move so fast from a dead stop. It seemed to me the pulsing of the object correlated with it's rate of acceleration,.as if the pulsing was a proponent of it's propulsion. The angle of the sighting was at a 45/50 degree angle. It appeared to be moving laterally due south. My personal opinion is that the object made a dimensional shift, like a car running off the road. The initial light show appeared to be a force field that had been breached. As the object stood motionless, after its introduction into our world, it appeared to get its bearings and re-enter it original flight plan. That's just my take, or maybe it was here to stay. I hope to make a computer model in real time of the experience. This is something the wife and I will never forget.

Montgomery, AL
While on break outside where I work in the parking lot, me and another fellow employee on break saw a total of 7 circular red orbs moving from NNE to SSW at a moderate rate of speed. First there were two, and then as they moved further South they disappeared into the clouds, then three more appeared moving from and to the same direction, and as they disappeared, then two more appeared moving from and to the same direction (moving NNE to SSW). These moved over the entirety of the city of Montgomery and were still heading south until they disappeared into the clouds.

21:00 Sunday, May 7, 2017. Looking west, saw one object moving fast and straight to the left of the moon. Object was round and white. Two photos show movement. Object is in center of photo. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Peter Davenport. You are correct. Full disclosure since you were so kind to reply. I reported this on behalf of the eye witness. (a relative who wishes to be anonymous). After a second conversation, I understood that the relative sent the photos to me at 21:00. The photos were actually taken at 19:30, 5.7.2017. The eyewitness says the track of the object was up and northerly. looking at a map from Warrior Alabama they stated it was on track to eventually go over New York State. The eyewitness is currently a ((title deleted)) a School and has been in the teaching profession. Very familiar with natural science, including weather patterns. The object was in view as she was taking out the trash and remained in view long enough for her take the two still photos with her iphone so the total view time was close to 30 seconds. She is willing to do a hand drawing of the object as it was seen by the eye as she claims it looked closer to "classic UFO shape". If there is any further information about the viewing of the object I will be happy to forward to you. I will take in to consideration contacting local press about further witnesses. Once again, Peter, thank you for your very kind personal reply. ((END ADDENDUM))

Black object, flying slowly, with what appeared to be a turquoise/green colored bright light, periodically flashing on the object, flying over my home. Two airplanes passed the object. Therefore, it was flying at the same altitude as a plane.

It looked like it wasn't moving at first, but it was slowly moving southeasterly. It was way past a nearby chem-trail and very small I thought it might be the space station. It moved at about that pace. I did not think a person could see that far in the daytime hours. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Comstock Park, MI
I was leaving to go to Walmart at 5:15 and to east of me there were this extremely bright light with beam shooting downwards about 100 feet. There was either other craft of this was very large as there were about 4 more white lights at about 30 degree down angle on right side. It was completely motionless and emitted no sound. I would guess altitude was about 1000 feet. I went to Walmart, about 8 blocks west of my residence and could see it very plain from their parking lot. It was still motionless with all same lights. I spent about 7 minutes in Walmart buying 3 items and came out and it was there still. As I got to my car another shopper was coming out. I asked him if he saw white light(s) motionless in sky. He agreed he did. I said I have never seen anything like this or what could be construed as UFO. He said he didn't believe in them and left. I went home and searched for binoculars (which I had once) but could not find them. I did not have! camera with zoom lens either. The Light(s) were still there and just as bright. I check whole sky horizon and saw few dim starts but NOTHING as bright as this or as many. Daylight was just starting to happen and brightness of light(s) did not change at all. Few stars I saw were gone now. I went downstairs and turn on my computer and came back up in about 10 minutes and it was all completely done. When I was at Walmart I remember hearing plane to my extreme west and that sound went away. This did NOT have any sound. If it was any kind of chopped the rotor wash I would have heard easily, as it seemed only about 1 mile away.

I woke up to use the restroom and saw a really bright spot in the sky. At first, I thought it was a star, an incoming plane, or a helicopter flying over the city, but the light isn't moving. The light resembles a star, but way bigger. As it begins to dawn, the light is becoming dimmer, but it is still there. It does not appear to be moving. Perhaps it moved up, higher in the sky, but it's difficult to tell. Even the binoculars aren't helping much. The light is still in the sky (5:15). ( Sighting of Venus in E sky? PD))

Then, as I watched it, it was actually moving slowly across the sky. I watched it move from the northeast to the south with tiny wobbling movements I don't know what could be that high and cover that much space so quickly. I've seen the ISS and it is lower and quicker with no wobbles. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Vineland, NJ
We live in a rural area on the Atlantic County/Cumberland County border. Our home is located in front of a farm. An orange, illuminated (completely) elongated, triangular shape descended from the sky. Best guess about 4 to 5 feet long. Followed the tree line of the farm field. At times, it would go left, then right then up high then down then darted towards the houses then back towards the tree line. Only lasted a minute or two. When I ran to get my husband, it was gone. About 10 minutes later, dogs started to bark and sounded like cats fighting. The same object or another one that looked the same came from the High-Tension line and did similar movements for less than 2 minutes then ascended. Did not see again for the rest of the night nor the next night. No sound omitted from it. I couldn’t get a picture I was completely terrified. We noticed that morning, the lights flickered a few times. We also had 2 long lasting light bulbs burn out.

White Ball flying South would come to a complete stop for 10-20 second intervals and change directions multiple times; changed to an east pattern; would stop 10-20 seconds and shift in a zig zag pattern until burning bright and travel upward and vanished after glowing bright. The fish in my pond where jumping.

Minneapolis, MN
Seven of us were hanging out on our rooftop deck and I pointed out two lights above us behind the fast moving clouds. We couldn’t tell if the lights were moving slowing for about 5 minutes and then stopped, or was stationary the entire time. For about 20 minutes the lights remained still as we watched them dim and brighten behind the moving clouds. We could see a faint third light which created a triangular formation. However, the photos suggest there may have been more lights than what we could see by eye. Heavier clouds rolled through and, once cleared, the lights were gone. About 20 minutes after the light formation disappeared, we saw a very bright aircraft fly overhead. We all agreed it was an airplane, yet it did appear to be much brighter, faster and and closer than what we typically see in the area. Our condo is directly under a flight path and we also acknowledged that no airplanes had been seen since we first noticed the lights. Then this morning (the next day), I was reviewing our photos from the evening and noticed a single green formation on my friend’s left shoulder. It appears on the chest of the person sitting next to him in a different photo. Attached are photos of the formation we saw in the sky and a zoomed in photo of the pattern on my friend. 20:04 Photos of friends 21:30 Noticed two lights in the sky 21:41 Photos of lights. The witness provides a number of high-quality photographs. The green objects, seen against the arm and shoulder of one of the people present, suggests to us that there is a flaw in the camera. The other lights appear to us to be reflected from the bottoms of clouds, which suggests advertising lights, although we cannot be certain. PD
