Corona, CA
Again, on a different night, on my way home from work, I was on the 15 south freeway (just changed over from 91 west to 15 south ramp) before getting to the Magnolia, or El Cerrito, exit, I saw what looked like a falling star maybe? But again, it looked like a comet like the last time reported. Falling in the sky, shooting downwards like a comet, white bright light, and with a tail, then fades into darkness. I saw it on the upper Eastern - Southern part of my front driver's side window. Source of the report elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Little Falls, MN
Driving down hwy 10 heading south from Brainard, MN, I noticed 5 very bright lights just over some tree tops and didn't see it again for another 10 min then I seen it very clearly, maybe 200' off the ground going slightly faster than me at 65 mph. It went away and I took my next available exit where I seen it coming straight towards me. I got out of my vehicle to watch it fly over my head. It was triangle almost boomerang shaped with a roughly 20-30' wingspan from my point of view, with 5 lights on the front like headlights on a car but very bright and big it was to dark to tell what the tail end looked like when it flew over me. The sound of it sound like someone going shhhhhhhhhhh quietly. I'm not saying this thing was from outer space; I just couldn't identify this thing from anything I've ever seen. Maybe military?

St. Louis, MO
At approximately 7:40 p.m., Central standard time, while driving, I witness 2 bright orbs flying in formation. I initially thought that the orbs were the lights of an aircraft, but I did not see the flashing red usually located beneath commercial aircraft. As I proceeded to drive down the road, I had stopped at a stoplight. At the stop, the orbs became obstructed from my view for less than 30 seconds, but during the seconds the orbs disappeared. There is a field along the road past the stoplight that provides an unobstructed view of the sky. I looked around for the orbs or any aircraft that could be the cause of the sighting, but I saw nothing in the sky.

Kansas City, MO
I was playing tag at my school Academie Lafayette, when suddenly I heard screams and my friend said look up! I looked up and saw the UFO. It scared me too death. It was falling, very fast. It got closer and closer to the ground until it froze in mid air and I blinked. When I opened my eyes it wasn't there. This all happened within 15 seconds. At its highest, it looked about the size of the sun. Like it could block my view of it. When it was falling it was massive. I got pretty damn close to us. I thought it was gonna squish us. It was jet black. I think it was on fire. It smelled like burning plastic, and there was a gigantic trail of blue fire behind it. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. Witness is a student. We contacted the school, but an administrator there stated that she was not aware of any such sighting. PD

Anaheim, CA
I was on my way to my car with a co-worker, when I noticed 4 small white objects in the sky. I took my sunglasses off and could not see them without my sunglasses on and actually handed my sunglasses to my co-worker so he could see them. Once he saw them, we watched them circle each other and move around the sky randomly, almost as if they were playing with one another. I noticed that a helicopter was flying nearby and these objects were much higher in the sky than an helicopter. As we watched, we noticed that at one point all of them turned and the sun hit the objects creating 4 bright small circular objects in the sky. We continued to watch them for about 4-5 minutes until they flew off into the distance away from the Orange County airport heading south about 20 miles inland from the coast. The way these objects were flying, was almost as if they were birds playing in the sky, darting in and out and up and down and circling one another... not at all h! ow commercial planes or helicopters would fly. All 4 objects were the same size, they were white and when the sun hit them as they moved it shined a large glare off the objects.

La Mirada, CA
At about 1am (PST), I saw a slow moving orb moving over Orange County, California. I thought it was strange how slow and high it was. I went to get my camera, and saw two big bright white lights drop from the sky. I took pictures of it, and saw it drop 2 more "red orbs" 1 orb then the 2nd orb, in formation. It flew a little further and dropped 2 more orbs in formation flew a little more and dropped two more. I got a video of it but my hands were shaking and you can't just see the big orb flying I tried to zoom in when it dropped two more. After that it just kind of turned off and disappeared. There was no noise and it was flying towards LAX from Orange County, CA.

Greater Atlanta- south, GA
I observed a spinning orange spinning ball up in the air, in my yard last night. I videotaped it, and then took a screenshot of the video, then enlarged it and discovered it is the shape of a ravioli. Similar to the moon of Saturn that was called a ravioli. Since I don't have or use a word processor, I won't b filing a report. won't b posting the video or photo either. Source of report elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

MT
Since the start of june of 2016 I have been witnessing several sightings of UFOs. During this year (2017), the first sighting was in February. The UFO first took off from the Boulder Valley, about 11:30pm. Then the UFO split into three small circles. In that time, each UFO flew in its own direction, northwest, one north and one north eastward. During that time all of them suddenly disappeared. Following the next hour, the UFOs reappeared by flying above boulder at about 40mph. after the ufos flew around they re-assembled into one large blob of yellow, then it disappeared. Source of report indicates that the date is approximate. PD

Memphis, TN
Me and my mother are driving through Memphis on our way to Arkansas and we see three glowing round objects. We turn away to look at the road look back up now there is three which proceed to do circle/zig zags around each other. Then a third comes as a pulsating light between them disappears then reappears a little farther away with seconds. Then two disapear leaving the one original one that is glowing bright. We see small jet looking planes one flying directly above the other going straight toward it. The bulb dims down so much you can barely see it as more little jets fly toward it from the opposite direction then more jets come maybe between 3-6 at a time some what circling the same spot where the light is the light kept getting really bright then dimming slowly. I'm not sure what exactly is going on but the other planes seen it two. I'm hoping we aren't the only people reporting this honestly really scared us.

Lapine, AL
I was outside Lapine, Alabama, near route 331, when I noticed a lone storm cloud on the northern horizon. The cloud was slowly moving west to east. Many cloud-to-cloud lightning bolts were flashing within the cloud, but few cloud to ground bolts were visible. The lightning bolts were blue-violet in color. Many low rumblings were coming from the cloud, but few could be connected to a single lightning bolt. A person watching the cloud with me commented that the lightning activity was both unusually quiet and concentrated within the cloud. They stopped watching the cloud and went inside before the object became visible. They also noted that their dogs, normally afraid of lightning, were unusually calm during the storm. I decided to videotape the electrical activity visible in the center of the cloud a few minutes. After recording the central portion of the cloud, I thought it might be a good idea to record the rear. The sighting occured during the following seconds. During a fraction of a second a lightning bolt lit up the rear of the cloud. When it did, what appeared to be the corner profile of a building-sized rectangle appeared. A second brighter flash illuminated a wider area, revealing more of the object. The object then disappeared from view. Between the two flashes, the object appeared to change shape. I recorded more video of the cloud hoping to see the object again, but failed to get any more footage. Other clouds similar to the first passed by to the south. Two planes flew in a line southward over the area about 5 to 15 minutes afterwards. A person I know in the area claims that a wifi dongle had to be reset due to activity that night, and/but I can't tell if the object was the cause. I was told that two weather radars were down for maintenance during this time. I have sent screenshots from the video to the email address below, but they aren't very detailed. I may send frames if I can get a video editing program for my phone. We have reviewed the photos that were forwarded by the witness, and we see nothing that is suggestive of UFO activity. PD

San Tan Valley, AZ
Want to start off by saying I have never seen this much activity in the sky over San Tan Valley. I've seen a few things I couldn't explain in the past over this horizon. Went in my backyard to feed dogs and I looked up in the sky like I always do. Saw a bright red "star" in distance, which I thought was a plane heading straight at me. It got bigger as it approached then stopped in the sky. It hovered over the San Tan Mountains for a while, then directly under it to the right another white light appeared. Slowly drifted north. Then another similar light appeared and did the same. For a while the three lights formed an Isosceles triangle. The two white lights drifted toward Chandler/Gilbert area and when they got over the populated area started to flicker like that of an airplane. But not constant like a planes lights flashing. The white lights started to flicker a lot and dipped under the horizon out of sight. The red "star" stayed still drifting upward slightly. What I thought was a plane headed towards the red light, then stopped and completely changed directions and drifted upward. Couldn't believe what I saw. The red light then started to fade away but not until a bright white orb appeared under it, pulsated, shifted direction and disappeared. Before the circus ended a smaller red orb drifted up to the red star and almost "kissed" it before changing directions and fading away. Also when all this activity was happening I saw three aircraft in the sky fly by. One flew almost directly over my house. Had a big green light under it and I couldn't tell if it was a plane or a helicopter. Made almost no sound at all. The other two flew directly under an orb but must not have seen it. This sighting left me with an uncontrollable gut wrenching feeling in my stomach. Too much activity for no one else to witness.

Chesapeake, OH
At about 530 PM (EDT), I was sitting in my backyard, watching the birds, when I saw something moving through the sky below cloud level and at a quick but not overly fast pace, at a steady South to North direction. I first thought it was a bird, until it was nearly overhead, when I realized it was a disc shaped craft, spinning counter clockwise, and flashing lights in a red-green-white pattern. The white light seemed especially bright considering it was still daylight. The object made no noise as it passed and continued South to North until it was lost from view.

Newport News, VA
April 5th, 2017, around 5:10 AM, I was outside our shop at Newport News shipyard, taking a break and talking with a few coworkers, when I noticed something in the sky right above my head, about 250-350 feet. I had just enough time to be able to point and say, "What is that?" and my other two coworkers were able to catch a glimpse of it before it disappeared behind a building. I ran to the other side of the building, which only took me about 10 seconds to get there, to see if I could see it, and it had disappeared. It was heading northeast just west of Langley Air Force Base. It was a clear night. We didn’t hear any sounds before or after spotting the aircraft. It was a solid black triangle (all sides were the same size, a perfect acute angle) the size of a football field with a light in each corner of the craft. The lights were pulsating very fast almost like an energy surge. The best way to describe the lights would be comparable to halo lights, but soft white in color. The lights seemed to be what powered the craft. None of us could identify it to anything we've seen before like a drone, or military plane. I grew up around the air force base and I've seen a lot of night flight drills, and have never seen anything like this before.

Gheen, MN
Reported: 4/7/2017 7:00p.m. 19:00 Posted: 4/7/2017 Location: Gheen, MN Shape: Light Duration: 10 minutes Looked up in the sky and seen a light traveling like a satellite. It was traveling NNW. This light traveled the length of the Big Dipper. The light stopped stayed there for about one minute, and then moved half of the width of a full moon, then stopped again, and started moving a second time, and stopped once more (3 times). After the third stop the light changed directions moving to the SW. It then traveled about the length of the Big Dipper handle and stopped again. It also stopped three times moving in the SW direction, each time the length of the Big Dipper handle. The third time it stopped it stayed there, at the last stop I watched for about 4 minutes and had to leave.

At first I thought it was a pigeon, gliding, but it didn't flap its wing, plus it was goin way to fast. Finally, I realized what I was looking at and chills were sent up my spine at that moment. I tried keeping my eyes on it but it disappeared as soon as it was over downtown Fresno.

Chicago, IL
Sitting in my bedroom and hearing the sound of a helicopter that was very loud, I got up to look out of my window, and saw the the helicopter hovering over the expressway in the S.E.sky. As I was about to sit down, out the corner of my eye, I noticed very high in the S.W. sky a triangular-shape object with five white lights on each side, and one big light in the center. To make sure I wasn't seeing things, I took out my binoculars, and noticed a smaller triangular shape object next to the big one with flashing white lights. After watching it for fifteen minutes it disappeared.
April 4, 2017 · 8:55 PM · DIAMOND
Brodnax, VA
Tonight, at approximately 20:55 pm, I observed in the northern sky a multicolored., blue, red and yellow to be exact! Diamond shaped object with the lights revolving in the center of it just sitting there above the trees north of my place! I could not hear any noise in the sky, and I went and grabbed my binoculars to look closer! When I looked at it, I saw what appeared to be a smaller white object move across and around it from the left to right side. Then at that time it started moving towards the left, slowly getting faster as I kept looking and following it in the binoculars! I got a good look at it and seemed to no I was watching it because the longer I kept watching, the faster it moved out of my view! In my best estimate of size based on viewing with and without binoculars, it was the size of a one of those big red farm barns is all I can think in size to compare!
