Mission Viejo, CA
Was driving down Melinda Rd. A bright light illuminated the road, so I looked up, thinking it was the moon, and wondering how it could be so bright, but the moon was way off, rather it was a giant fireball of the whitest light shooting straight down and flashing on its descent.

Pacific Beach, CA
Driving south on I-5 through San Diego; Pale green light flash in the sky, reminiscent of lighting, looked above the dashboard to see a greenish light shape about 200 yards diagonally above us in the sky. The shape immediately broke apart in an elongated path and you could literally see flames shooting downwards, where is disappeared towards the hills to our right.

South Kingstown, RI
I stepped out of the house for a few minutes to view the sky and full moon. A few wispy clouds in a moon lit sky were observed, with some stars visible. As I looked to the north, above my house, I saw what at first I thought was a star. As I continued to look at it I noticed it was moving slowly in a linear trajectory, NNW to ESE. While keeping my eye on the object it appeared to pick up speed. While doing so the bright round light changed to a more defined 'fuselage' with no wings. It continued on until it slowly extinguished its light and faded out. A possibility is that it went above a lower cloud bank, but I feel that was not the case. This sighting is very similar to one I had over my house two months ago which I also reported herein. That object, however, was lower in altitude and much brighter. Both object changed from a round light to an cylindrical light before fading out. No sound was heard from either object, no other lights visible on the craft, and the speed was about that of an aircraft. Height estimate for this sighting I would have to guess at being 10 to 15 thousand feet, but it was impossible to know for sure. Since I live a few miles from the Atlantic Ocean, the trajectory would take it out over the ocean as it continued. This area is a 'hot spot' for UFOs for some reason. Other local residents have hesitantly told me of their sightings, when I casually brought up the subject. Some of their stories were quite extraordinary.

San Marcos, CA
I was standing outside discussing a car accident with my neighbor. Many neighbors were outside. I was facing west, the sun had just set, and the sky lit up green/blue for a few seconds. With the source over by the coast in what looked to be the Carlsbad and Oceanside Area. Was over very suddenly. Possible green meteor, we wonder? We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she sounded to us to be quite sober-minded. PD

Colorado (southeast part), CO
From around 34,000 feet, I noticed in a completely clear sky a chevron shaped object. It was dark grey. There were no clouds anywhere, and no other objects in the sky. We began our descent into Denver. I estimate when I noticed it it was around 30,000 feet. I believe it was moving the same direction we were only slightly slower. It appeared as a V. As we descended, it flatted out in my perception and was completely flat and extremely thin. I witnessed a fast moving plane come in to my sight. It seemed to have a wider jet trail that was angled more like a "V," instead of a "=" stream. The plane came in fast. I couldn't make out what type of jet it was but it flew towards the object and made a quick turn around. I could tell because of it's jet stream it was going towards the craft and then parallel with the craft. It was above and to the side of the V shaped object. It remained over the object until it was out of my vision. On Southwest flight. This was probably somewhere in that New Mexico/North Texas/Southest Colorado area. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Seemed more of a darker gray, more black. That's why it stuck out. On the smaller her I couldn't tell. It was fast and made what looked like a a power slide maneuver when it got over top. Once over top it seemed to do more of a hover/drift rather than fly. So I don't think it was a commercial type jet. I don't think those hover planes can do that maneuver that high in the air, but that's what it looked like. Yes, it looked like it "wing manned" it or was guiding it away. I'm not on crew. I asked one pilot, "What the hell was that, and he just looked at me and said, "I didn't see anything."

DRIVING ON SOUTHWEST 9TH AND WATROUS, WHEN I LOOKED TO THE NORTH AS FAR AS THE EYE COULD SEE I SEEN A ORANGE BALL OF LIGHT MOVING AT A VERY HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I GOT OUT OF MY VECHILE. THE OBJECT GREW BIGGER WHEN IT GOT CLOSER TO ME. THEN STOPPED RIGHT ABOVE ME. LIGHTING STRUCK, THEN LITE UP THE SKY BRIGHT WHITE THEN THE OBJECT WAS CLEARLY THE SHAPE OF A DISC LIKE UFO. WHEN THE SKI DARKEND, THE OBJECT TURNED TO A DIMMER ORANGISH RED AND FLEW EAST SLOWLY UNTIL IT DISAPPEARED.

York, PA
I turned onto 7th Ave & stopped before the stop sign in front of the playground & stuck my head out the window to see a huge black triangle with a bright light on each corner directly above me. It was extremely low, barely above the trees & a house. It made absolutely no noise & was the size of a large plane. I turned my car off to listen & heard nothing. I looked around hoping someone else was seeing this thing but nobody was around. I could see cars still going by on Haines Road but they didn't see it. After 5 minutes, it began to slowly float toward Green Spring apartments & out of sight. I thought to myself, nobody would believe me & preceded to go to the gym, not once thinking anymore about it. I don't remember how much time passed. I didn't tell my fiancee when I got home. I had "forgotten" it. In fact, I didn't remember it happening until days later & I told him then. He laughed it off but I know what I saw hovering above me. I find it convenient that my memory vanished right afterward. Maybe I was abducted, I don't know. When it came back to me, I couldn't believe I didn't say something about it right away! When it did come back, it was a OMG! Did I tell you what I saw? Maybe they were abducting someone in the house they were over? I'm posting this now because I still think about it & wanted to share with other people without being laughed at. My husband still can't answer me when I ask well what was it then? No plane hovers & even if they did, it would make noise. It wasn't a balloon & it was too big for a drone.

Phoenix, IL
I was on my way to work early Monday morning, when I decided to take a picture of the moonlight, shooting upwards. Upon taking the picture, I saw an object quickly moving back and forth. It looked like a faint star. I couldn't see the object with the naked eye.

Chiraco Summit, CA
I had recently been with a friend who was watching the usual cheesy UFO videos on U-TUBE when we came across some footage from April 10 of 2017 (you-tube search: UFO Parker Arizona). It showed a double formation of orange(ish) lights near Parker, Arizona. The event had also been videotaped separately near El Central CA on the same evening. I was camping near Chiraco Summit, CA, (I-10 near Joshua Tree) on that night and saw a blue fireball move toward San Diego from my position. This fireball was also discussed by the video observer and apparently some TV news organizations. Some minutes later, I observed two formations of amber lights moving from the vicinity of El Central, moving N and slightly E. From my position looking East, they would have crossed the Chocolate Mountains (I-10) between Desert Center and Blythe, CA, and were pretty much headed right to where they were videotaped at Parker, AZ. I see on your website (California sightings) from April 10th, 2017, (a busy day) that at least one report came in from Calexico regarding this formation and another from San Marcos, CA, describing the blue fireball seen just prior to the formations coming into view. Just wanted to give any interested folks a "head’s up" that this particular footage on the website is very probably the real deal. I do not endorse or know anything about the objectivity of the UFO site(s) where the footage is shown!

Looked like a round orb yellowish in color. Fist noticed in northern part of sky. Fist caught my attention when it moved side to side then stopped. Then disappeared and re appeared again. the totally disappeared when I zoomed in on it like it knew I was wanting a closer look. never seen again. Have it on my camcorder right as it was zoomed in on and when it disappeared. No clouds and there was a clear sky.

Then a third one came from the south, and was MUCH closer, and then followed the other two north. I am confident they were not planes helicopters or drones.

Clyde, NC
After doing this for 20 minutes or so it moved quickly above us. You could see lights inside but no noise and then it sped off and was just gone. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Peter, It looked to be 1/10th the size of the moon. It was oval in shape. Not perfectly round though if that makes sense. Because of its side to side movements and being stationary for minutes, I that it might be a helicopter. I was in the Army and was Air-Assault, so I have sling loaded and have ridden in many helicopters, so I soon realized that's not what it was. It was about 6000 feet in the air at first and it took off over our home and slowed to almost a full stop. It was higher in elevation as it went above my home but you could see the outline. It was kinda round and you could see a light around it coming from the inside. Like a revolving lit restaurant looking from outside of it. It actually started scaring me when I realized it had no sound coming from it. It moved slow but then quickly. Faster than a plane can fly. The lights were a smoky white light coming from inside. You could just see a hazy light at farther distance. Clear when it was close. There were no flashing lights on it. I hope this helps as this was the first time seeing something like this.

West Gardiner, ME
I am reporting an unidentified loud boom that was heard at 9:00pm eastern time across many towns in central Maine. It sounded similar to a sonic boom and shook the house. It was felt by my immediate neighbors in West Gardiner, by my sister in Litchfield, a friend in Richmond and in Gardiner. Facebook lit up with many reports also in the towns of Pittston, Farmingdale, Chelsea, Monmouth, all occurring at 9:00pm or 22:00 (sic. 21:00). News investigation turned up nothing, and USGS reported no seismic activity in the state. I looked but saw nothing unusual outside immediately after the boom, however the report by so many individuals in so many towns at the same time of the same unidentified boom in my opinion is worth reporting.

Elk Grove, CA
At 7:15 to 7:45 pm pst on April 9, 2017, observed one dark colored object in northern sky in Elk Grove/ Sacramento, Ca, area below cloud cover maintaining a stationary position. The object was dark grey in color, cylinder shaped, flat bottom and cone top with flat top. Stayed in the 2 O'Clock position for 30 minutes then began moving very slowly to the west. After it moved behind several tall trees blocking our vision, it never came into sight again, and at sunset, nothing more could be seen.

Visually tracked a white orb. The orb stopped in midair for appx. 15 seconds and resumed a different route, then went out of visual. The orb was moving faster than a normal aircraft.

Loveland, CO
I was in Loveland, CO, with my kids, and we where flying kites then I noticed 3 spheres shaping a triangle. The spheres where copper with darker shadows. As they came passing by one of the spheres stopped, while the other two kept moving. Then the 3 spheres formed a line and vanished. During this time, it was hard to look at the sky because there was a lot of static in the sky. The sighting only lasted about 3 minutes. They appeared on the Eastern side and moved south before vanishing. Source of the report elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Quincy, WA
Sighted object while driving on the highway. Object at first seemed like an aircraft but the light did not blink on and off and the light remained stationary. The light disappeared when I rounded a corner in the highway. I have grown up in the area and am familiar with the types of aircraft that are nearby. This light behaved in a manner that didn't make sense.

Philadelphia, PA
Waking from a nap in the living room of my loft to a beautiful clear sky and Shiney City skyline with unlimited visibility. Watching aircraft fly normal pattern I saw a small but bright circular light which looked like another aircraft beat an aircraft of similar size to a reference point and slow to a mid air stop. Another light caught up to it and they slowly begin travelling together before disappearing above my building. I have footage from my Android S7 phone.

On the early morning of Sunday, April 9, 2017, around 2:30AM, I was outside, smoking a cigarette, when I saw a stream shaped blueish green object come up out of nowhere and proceed to fly from the sky down to the earth with no collision and or impact from my knowledge. It made a very light "whoosh" sound, that was the thing that caught my attention was the sound and how subtle it was. It went towards the earth then disappeared before my eyes. During the event I w

Saw it in sky around 2:00am above Kirtland AFB. It moved about for awhile in sky, and then stop, then it stood in a single spot and continued to move in circles, would drop down and slowly rise back up. The object would also change from the main color white to red, then white, then yellow, and would not flicker. Caught it on camera, and all my camera got a different view, as it would show it flickering, and then all of a sudden stop! It has been doing it for the past hour now. We suspect a sighting of a star or planet. PD
