Circle strange lights in the sky. We were coming back from a movie and saw this when we entered our parking area. We stopped the car took some pics as we have never seen such things before. Ring of stationary advertising lights at local casino. PD

Medford, OR
Watching the meteor shower, I noticed an extremely, twinkly object in the Eastern sky. I grabbed my binoculars to get a closer look and saw an object that I thought was stationary until it moved. It was changing colors; red, blue, green, purple, yellow and orange but in no pattern that I noticed. I went to get my kids so they could view it but they were asleep. As I watched it, it took off northbound.

My wife and i were travelling east on Route 30 east of Chambersburg, PA, on Saturday 4/29/2017. My wife suddenly told me to pull over on the road because there were two objects in the sky in the proximity of a waxing crescent moon phase. I have seen UFO objects twice in my lifetime before this at least 40 plus years ago. We both looked at the objects while we were facing the west. The two objects appeared to be larger than a planet, saucer/bell shapes in the sky, both were bright with an amber to white hue cast sort of pulsing as they stood at rest in the sky. I had hoped that they would continue to get closer coming eastward to get a better look at them, but after about a minute, the one on the right began to slowly vanish followed by the one on the left then slowly vanishing. There was a slight overcast with very high altitude cloud cover with some clearing. When the objects vanished out of sight, it appeared as though they exited our atmosphere very quickly ! almost straight up and out. Back in the early 1970's when i saw my first UFO, it occured in broad daylight, and actually had time to get my telescope out (50X) and sight in on it, before it quickly raced across the sky many times the speed of a modern military jet aircraft, and vanished as well. I understand from my reading that the USA government does in fact have secret propulsion technology at Area #51 and has had it for years, continuing to unveil this high technology into military uses today. I would not be surprised that the two UFO's we sighted on 4/29/2017 were engineered by our own government. It is very exciting to see these objects, because it doesn't happen but once or so in a lifetime. This is my third sighting in 43 years. Now i must look at the skies every night. My cell phone camera is too cheap, it would not have showed up well, but to be honest i just wanted to see these UFO's with my eyes. My wife was a witness to this sighting as well, but she really did not want to take the time to write her own version of the sighting. It was quick,,,about a minute. My wife and I own a local painting company.

3 rounded-diamond shaped craft flew over Caesars Palace in a triangular formation. They flew quickly (not out of this world fast but quite fast) with the center craft neurotically moving side-to-side and in multiple directions within the formation at a very instantaneous speed. Very short viewing of the crafts. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

A colleague and myself were sitting on a dock, off of Water St near the Oceanographic institute, facing Nonamesset Island, when my colleague directed my attention to the evening sky. We observed an array of rectangular lights (6-8 lights), producing dim but discernable light with a slightly yellowed tone, arranged in a wedge or flying-V formation. The formation of lights, no more than 200ft off the ground, silently passed overhead moving Northeast. Importantly, the lights seemed to deliberately dip and bob without breaking formation, suggesting they are indeed units comprising a larger array. The formation moved over Water St until it was visible over the Rowe Laboratory. Interestingly, while moving, the lights adjacent to the trailing terminal lights on either end of the “V” gracefully switched positions. The formation stopped after this and faded out of sight. It is worth mentioning that our line of sight with the formation was never interrupted, and we did not observe it flying away: we observed it until it simply faded from view above the Rowe Laboratory. We, the two observers, are developmental biologists who traveled to Woods Hole to attend a regional conference.

I was on our patio watching a movie on my laptop, when I noticed a bright white appear over the trees on the other side of the lake. I thought it was just an airliner taking off. Not giving it any more thought I continued to watch the movie. A few minutes later I glanced over to where I saw the light and noticed it was still there. It was bigger and brighter than before. I stopped the video so that I could observe this light. It didn’t move at all. It was hard to make out the shape, but if I had to guess I would say that it was circular. The light was to high and to bright to be a street light and the moon was crescent shaped and pale yellow. I got my cellphone and took a photo of it. About 30 minutes later, it was gone. I was watching it and it just disappeared.

Here's a quick report of a Capsule shaped craft I viewed, while sitting at the local laundromat, waiting for the clothes to dry. Glanced out the window and to the northeast over Rte. 1 at approx. 7:05 pm EDT. Observed an object in a steep dive (70 degrees) at a high rate of speed, no wings or engines visible and shaped like a TYLENOL aspirin capsule shape with flat sides....hard to guess size but would say it was size of a minivan ....object continued its path, and I lost sight of it behind the strip mall across the highway...... BRILLIANT white in color and had a FUZZY APPEARANCE around the bottom edge.........if it continued on this path is would have taken it to an industrial warehouse park approx SE 5 miles away and is near the river and pretty much desolate on the weekend. THANKS

I saw 3 very bright lights in the sky all lined up. The lights were very close to land. The lights looked like stars but they appeared to be blinking. I was not afraid when I looked at them. In fact the lights were like giant diamonds in the sky but again very close to land. I tossd & turned for almost an hour & got up to use the restroom. When I returned, all 3 lights were gone! There is only black sky now. Wow! I have talked to people recently on Big Island, Hi, who have reported sightings. I think I definitely saw something unusual.

When the other light went towards this light it looked like it left a trail of red. It glowed orange yellow and red now with looking to be lights. I stopped at a near by friends at this point and three other witnesses there also seen the smiley face mouth in the sky on 1100 N. All four of us watched it for approximately 10 minutes in the West, slightly North sky an object. It appeared in a different area from what I could tell at that point. Not sure. It appeared then disappeared. Until it descended completely still glowing orange yellow and red, bellow the tree lines with no visible lights on it then. Maybe landing.

I was at a friend's house sitting on his front porch busy street busy area. Talking about random stuff video games, etc.. He was like hey look at that, I'm like what ... look right there he pointed out a weird flashing object kind of strobish and similar to a plane flash but much brighter. I said that's a plane he said no look how it's moving. From where we were sitting he had a telephone pole to our right on an angle so we eyed it up with the pole to see which way it's moving if it even is moving and sure enough a couple of seconds after we did that it started moving. In between the bright flashes, within a mili second of each one, we saw it in one spot then wam it was at least 1,000 yards (from our eyes, could be miles in the sky) but away from its original position. We had a hard time keeping up with it in between flashes and moving irradic from left to right up And down. Nothing that a plane helicopter or drone in today's world that's known to the public can move with such speed and agility. Literally between its flashes, which was absolutely in under a second, it was in a totally different spot far away from the last position. We watched do this for at least 15-20 minutes moving around. Then it started moving a little farther away from us south east direction but still very visible with the flashes so bright. But now it would flash then go dark completely no lights and show up in a totally different spot then it was like before. We knew by then it wasn't a normal plane especially because there are a bunch of planes flying in the sky and you see their regular flashes . So we were asking ourselves how do these planes not see see this and move out the way or change course, but the way this thing was moving, it couldn't be near them at the speed in which it moved. Then, after a minute or so of it going dark, a flashing, then dark again, moving to different spots. It started flashing and rising up and just hovered while flashing. Then lit up solid blue or white kind of like a floodlight, but nothing projecting down like you see with other common flood lights or search lights on commercial equipment, it just lit up whatever this thing was. And for the way it reflected off the object it had to be a light colored object (white light with grey object projects a blueish color). It was fully lit up for about a good 25 seconds went completely dark again then within a mili second we saw the flash of it farther away from where it was lit up which is farther away from where we were. So more south central south east . The only thing out that way that it could be as high as it was a project that bright of a light is fort dix combined base no other airports or private places for such a thing in that direction then fort dix joint base. And in that direction depending on which part of the base is a given 30 to 80 miles away from us. So that thing was bright . After it headed farther away and disappeared me and my friend went to go get food took about 10 minutes or a little over got back to his house sat on the porch ate an we were still talking about it we never seen anything like it definitely unexplainable when all of sudden we saw it again back in the same area where it was before moving all over and flashing but did not light up solid or hover. Just kept flashing then went dark and it was gone. We sat outside for another 20 minutes looking at the sky, never saw it again or anything like it, just saw your normal plane passing by . It was truly amazing how it moved liked that in a blink of an eye. A night to remember never saw anything like this here before hopefully someone else saw this too and didn't blow it off as a plane it was anything, but I know the area very well and seen everything from regular helicopters to police helis, blackhawks An your military crafts fly by all the time with lights on and off day and night just as common as your regular plane and you can hear these far away aswell as a very lit up landscape from homes ect so to be that bright to outshine everything else wow . . This thing had no sound and moved like no other craft known to the public could truly remarkable experience I will never forget.

Olympia, WA
Over Sylvester Park. Cloud cover, no stars out. Straight line of lights, First on left reddish other lights white. Two similar, about as high as most large planes. Not moving. About as long as my straight index finger in size when I held my finger up to measure. Watched on and off for half an hour. Told someone else I know who also saw the one on left I pointed out to her. She wasn't all that interested, commented, "They must be looking at us, observing all here in the Park". A large event in Olympia." Procession of the Species" the evening light event. This wasn't something projected into the night sky, I stopped watching on and off to watch the parade and left. Don't know how long the two straight lines of light lasted. Very bizarre. Like Orions belt but closer together. I was tempted to ask others what they thought of the objects, but only asked someone I knew to look at it. I didn't think to try and photograph the two objects. I've lived in the medical field all my life. Only saw UFO objects back in the mid fifties as a teen with a boyfriend. A fleet of craft came into view, flew across the sky, and vanished, as if into a slot. Both of us saw the same objects.

We stepped out on our deck to smoke a cigarette, and I noticed this red light in the sky is was coming from the north and heading south it was moving very fast my husband yelled for me to get my camera and I recorded what we saw at first there were like 6 or 7 of them and they would slow down and disappear in the clouds and then a few seconds later another one was coming moving very fast and then another one this lasted about 13 or 14 minutes I took some videos and post them on Facebook to see if anybody else saw this I watched the news and I didn't hear nothing and friend told me to repot it to a ufo web site these were no airplane as I live close to the airport airplanes make a lot of noise there was no noise it was quiet the also had a red glow to them I really don't know what they were but I figured it wouldn't hurt to find out.

On my drive home early from my job as a senior research laboratory technician on I-287 South in New Jersey, I caught a glimpse of a shiny metallic object in the sky. The sky was crystal clear blue with not a single cloud in sight. At first I dismissed it as a plane, but with longer examination I realized it was a slim, nearly-flat silver disk with no vapor trail. It appeared to slowly hover to the South, then in seconds, it swiftly changed direction and zipped off to the East and completely vanished. I noticed other drivers had slowed and were looking and pointing at the same region of the sky where I witnessed the craft.

Germantown, MD
At approximately 05:45 on April 28, 2017, I witnessed a single bright star like object in the southern sky of Germantown, MD. The Sky was dark and had absolutely no stars or planets visible. Just this single stationary bright round object. It never once moved on any plane. It was too high to be a helicopter and displayed no aircraft characteristics. I picked up a passenger and 5 minutes into their trip (I am UBER driver) we both required the object. Being I was driving I could not keep an eye on it. After dropping passenger off, I could not re-aquire the object. I am wondering if it was Space Station? Only object I can think of. I am surprised no other reports seemed to have surfaced.

While sitting on my front porch talking with my nephew, I looked to the right of my porch overhand and saw a glowing orange object floating over the tree line. It looked odd as if to paulsate. I looked to see if there were any navigational lights and could see none. I immediately called to my nephew to come see as the object cruzed past the house heeding northwest. There is a military base near to my house, (Andrews Airforce Base). As the object flew near that direction, the orange light went out and we could still see the the silliwet of the object which was now black without distinct form at the distance. The object made no sound as it cruised by and eventually faded from sight. My nephew thinks it was some new military technology. I believe it was not of this world. I have seen other objects such as see through cigar shape objects flying as low as street lights, making no sound at all with others there to witness this event also. Many times they are fl! ying towards the military base and lights go out as they pass over it. This event on the 28th of April, was the first time I've seen the orange ball. At the time of this sighting, the sky's were clear and the object appeared to be within a few thousand feet from my house and approximately 5-6 hundred feet in the air.

The date above is flawed, so we have amended it, but we are unsure whether the alleged sighting occurred on the morning of April 28th, or 29th, but we have no means for contacting the source to confirm the correct date.

I was standing outside on my last break at work staring at the stars. There were about 15 satellites that I saw flying overhead before the signing. This object seemed to appear out of nowhere as an incredibly fast moving light in the cloud, making very sporadic movements and making no sound. It flew directly overhead and underneath a cloud that was reflecting the city lights. That is when I could see the round nature of this object. It slowed down when it was directly above, and then it continued on its way before completely disappearing. This was absolutely insane.

A single point of light was observed traveling from north to south, passing through the zenith after about 20 seconds - it was very high in the sky with relative brightness similar to planet venus. Event happened at around 8:45pm on April 27, 2017. There was also an airliner in the vicinity, traveling from north to south.
