I was sitting out back smoking my tobacco pipe and saw an extra star in the sky. I thought to myself what star is that. When I focused my eyes on it, it moved slightly to the right. I than looked at the other star that is usually in the sky at this time during the night and than back at the other light and than it went out. It brought a smile to my face.

Fairly large triangle shaped craft of some sort hovering in place for around ten minutes about a kilometer from my house. It only had two white lights in the back and one red light at the front, which was pointed in my direction. I pulled my phone from my pocket and aimed the camera at it and while it was a pretty clear night, it would not come up on my camera. Needless to say it's left me a little spooked because I just sort of humored the idea before this experience. It was also completely silent. Also, earlier, my vehicle's battery was acting a little funny. Source of the report elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Philadelphia, PA
I was at the corner of Allegheny and Kensington in Philadelphia waiting for the bus. It was approximately 8 am on 4/3/17 It was a lovely morning and I was looking at the sky and clouds and saw a black object quite high. I was facing north/northwest. My first thought was that it was some debris floating on the air currents - but it was not just floating along - it was moving quite slowly from east to west. The object was dark black, shaped like a wide diamond – or a square object on a corner. It did not appear to reflect light – however I noticed a light that flashed about 4 times in the 10 minutes or so I was looking at it. I asked a young woman , also waiting for the bus if she saw it – she said yes - I asked her if it looked like a helicopter? She said she didn’t think so. I’m afraid I didn’t get her name, but if I see her again I will ask. I did try to take some photos – but I don’t believe they show much since the object was so high up and I! ’d think, quite distant. I can send them if it is requested

I awoke late at night and went to the kitchen to get a drink, then decided I wanted a cup of tea, so I put the water on and sat down at the table. I have two large windows 3ft×6ft one faces east and slightly South, the other South and slightly West, so I have a great deal of sky visible, I often sky watch at night. Last night was cloudy and I noticed no stars were visible from the East window as I put the water on but when I sat down one VERY bright star was in the southern sky. I watched it for a few minutes wondering what star it was and noticed it seemed to be bouncing around just a bit so I decided to take a video of it. It didn't turn out well, as I couldn't keep it centered (that's all on me) so I took a couple of snapshots of it and was trying to video it again, when it simply blinked out! While I was contemplating what had just happened, I made my tea and sat down to look at the pictures I had taken and was stunned by the saucer shaped object quite plainly there where the star should have been. I didn't see it while looking at it with just my eyes. I sat drinking my tea, watching out of the window when when I saw it again about 60 degrees west and much higher. I quickly took several more photos this was about 3:15am. It blinked out again and appeared farther away yet and my cellphone camera could no longer photograph it.
April 3, 2017 · 12:30 AM · OVAL
Portland, OR
I woke up because my cat was meowing at the window. I told her to be quiet, but she just kept on meowing, so I opened my eyes. I looked out of my window to see what the cat was meowing at thinking it must be a box elder bug on the glass or something, but instead I saw a big green oval of light. I live in a high rise building and can see Council Crest and the eastern side of West Hills from my apartment. I can make out the houses and features of this part of West Hills well. I could see a big green oval of light in the sky. It seemed to be moving slower than a plane or helicopter, and seemed to be silent. I put on my glasses so I could see it better out of curiosity and when I realized it wasn’t a plane or helicopter, I ran out of bed over to the window to get a better look. I saw the oval move towards West Hills. Then it slowly went over the hill and then I couldn’t see it anymore. The whole time it was floating around, it was gradually changing color from green to orange-red and back to green, with the color change seemingly starting towards the bottom right of the oval, and then sweeping over the rest of the oval until the thing had mostly turned orange-red. I don't know if the oval was solid or just light, but it seemed to have very clearly defined edges. It was not like spot lights at all, which kind of have fuzzy, soft edges. I know the oval was not a plane because planes are not oval shaped and they move faster. I see planes all the time from my windows, sometimes even antique ones, but this was not plane shaped and did not make any sound like a plane. I know the green oval was not a helicopter because I see helicopters a lot, too, and they are noisy and I can clearly make out the helicopter shape. In fact, I saw a helicopter come from the SW part of Portland towards the center of Portland a few minutes after I saw the green oval. I know this wasn’t a car on the streets of West Hills because I could clearly see the oval in the middle of the sky at first. And I don’t think it was a drone because it looked to be wider than the houses it was above in West Hills when it was above them. I thought for a second that it might be the aerial tram, which I can see a little bit from my place, but the aerial tram doesn’t change colors, it is not green and it doesn’t float around in the middle of the sky, obviously. I don’t even think that tram runs at 12:30AM. I know the oval wasn’t making noise because I can clearly hear planes and helicopters from my apartment. Also, even though this green oval floated really close to the houses on West Hills, nobody’s lights went on like they heard a loud noise above their house. I had my window cracked and could hear the helicopter a few minutes later, so I know that the noise would have definitely have come through if there were any. I tried to take a picture of the oval but my hands were shaking and I kept dropping my phone because I was a little nervous about the green thing in the sky, not knowing what is was and all, and I was trying to make my cat stop meowing by petting her at the same time. By the time I got my phone camera ready, the thing had floated over the West Hills and out of my sight. I don’t know what the green oval thing was, so I am hoping maybe someone else does and can tell me. I could draw a picture of it if that would help identify it.

Looking SE from my 3rd floor apartment patio, saw what I thought at first glance was the police helicopter circling something but when I looked back it had done this super fast circle and immediately dropped behind the tree/building line of sight. Seconds later, it reappeared and achieved a very high altitude in seconds. I recorded it on my phone and will be sending that footage to you guys as well. In the video, it appears as a blue dot and seems to hover for a bit then starts descending again as a passenger plane approaches. It lowers below the aircraft, hovers for a second, then continues its descent until out of view again. Shortly after a helicopter flew over the area as well as other lights that looked to be small aircraft or helicopters in the distance for about 10 minutes afterwards. I understand this could just be someone playing with a drone or whatever, but the altitude it appears to achieve and the speed it occurs at is something I've honestly never seen before. Never seen a "drone" or anything like this flying in this area of Mesa/East Valley in my whole life. Like I said, could possibly be explained or "debunked" but I felt strong enough about it to let you guys take a look. Thank you.

Rogers County, OK
Date: Sunday, April 2, 2017, 9:53 pm Location: 7 miles northeast of Claremore, Oklahoma. Clearing in a wooded area, closest dwelling 200 yards. GPS coordinates: N 36.21.xxx W 095.32.xxx Elev. 6xx Temperature: 54 degrees F Duration: 9 seconds Captured on video by a game camera. Video file available, 56.8 mb The orb is a round spot of light, at first hovering in the upper left area of the frame, then moving toward and under the camera. At the end of the video, another orb, or maybe the same one, appears to shoot across the upper right corner of the frame. The only thing unusual about the location is that it is on an easement for an interstate communications cable. In 2002, AT&T removed the old lead-shielded wire cable, and replaced it with six 2" dia. pvc conduits for fiber optic cables. There are no electromagnetic fields anywhere around the easement. This is the only encounter I have had, in over 15 years of capturing video of animals on my property.

We took out our phone and started to record. On the video, you can see a round object floating and spinning in the sky. There was a flash of light as it flipped over. Just to the side of it was another object which was more square in shape. It was also floating and spinning. It was moving in a circular pattern and then as quickly as it appeared, it was gone.

Two of us were hiking at Pipes Canyon. Neither saw anything unusual at all. Upon reviewing the photographs I made I discovered the image which I am forwarding. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Ha! My camera must be set incorrectly. Sorry about that, it was this past Saturday, the second. Sorry about that! ((END ADDENDUM)) We have looked at the photo submitted by the witness, and we see nothing noteworthy in it. Date is flawed. PD

It had two really bright lights inside of it. One in front and one in back. The one in back flickered really fast while the one in front was steady in its brightness. Then I saw another about 10 seconds later and it continued to about 6 of them at different distances and different angles. All of them heading east over my building. The last one I got a video of was the farthest out at about 50 feet away. I've seen orbs before but never this close and never was able to make out so much detail inside them. The spherical outline was like a soap bubble but less reflection. I could barely make out a front and back outline but the 2 white lights inside were quite clear. The video doesn't show any of the detail I was able to see with my eyes. I'm left wondering why? It appears as the usual white orb only but that's not what I saw. Hard to see it in the video but it's there mid way down traveling from right to left of the frame.

Makes me feel as if the bad angel's are released. My boyfriend seen it as well. I tried to capture it on my cell but the only thing that showed up was a piece of the light coming from the center of it. I have many photos, personal dealings and I've never seen this. Looked like a cloud in form. But wasn't.

No sound from the sky and nothing flying by at all. It came and left in a matter of a second.

Two circles with tails staying within inches of each other, flashed twice moving in a southeast direction. Was seen in the sky by two people on a second story porch, its flashes were bright enough to illuminate table on the porch and the building in general like a spotlight.

First two, then a third sphere of orange light appears and they slowly form a large triangle low in the sky. They then fade out after about 2 minutes, and 3 spheres appear again. They then begin moving NW to SE for a short distance. A Fourth sphere appears in front of the three and after about 1-2 minutes the first 3 fall into a straight, equally spaced line. They all slowly move and follow the first orb for a short distance, which then begins to move straight up at the same slow, steady speed. The first then fades out in clear sky. The others follow exactly the same path and disappear up into the sky also. It was a clear night with visibility 8+ miles. There was no sound, no strobe lights or red/green or white navigation lights, just glowing orange balls, with red towards the rear. They were quite bright and easily visible.

Saw from afar a bright white light approaching above my home. When it came closer above me, it looks like a flying square building with about 10 floors of yellow gold lights and red and green lights at the bottom. Didn't have chance to take video as it happened so fast!

I was walking with my girlfriend from the Bavarian Inn to Tiffany's in the downtown area. My girlfriend said look at the sky, referring to the clear skies and the stars, when we saw the triangular shape fly about 1000 feet overhead and disappear. It almost looked as though it vanished into the clouds, but there was no clouds. There was no sound. I wrote down my description of the object and then asked my girl to describe it. She said the same thing: triangular object with five lights; one in the center and two evenly distributed lights on each side leading to the tail.

I was driving home Saturday night (10:45 p.m.) April 1, 2017, on a quiet back road and while I drove up a hill close to my home I saw two bright white lights sitting in the sky almost like stadium lights. As I drove closer to the lights and closer to my home I saw that there was actually 3 white lights and the lights formed the shape of a triangle. It is hard to estimate the size of the craft and the height of it but this craft was lower than any other plane that I've seen in my life. I stopped in the middle of the road to try and take a picture, at this point I realize the craft is moving and is moving pretty quickly southeast. I quickly take one picture that didn't turn out well and drove quickly to my home about 200 yards away, I race inside to gather the attention of my family and by the time I got my family and I out on the deck the craft had just passed over the tree line. The night sky was clear there were very little clouds in the sky so the visibility was clear the moon was in a waxing crescent phase so it wasn't giving off much light. The 3 white lights of the craft were extremely bright, brighter than any star or plane I've seen.

I was walking home, when all the sudden, I saw an extremely bright white light that looked like it was coming towards us from a distance. I turned to my friend and said, "Do you see that?" They said, "Yes." About 45 seconds later, she pointed it out again, this time it was going in a completely different direction. The back of the moving object was now showing and you could see two green lights, and it looked gray and square/diamond shaped.

Took the dog out to do her business, and there was a *very* bright phthalo/light blue light (very bright and iridescent) outside on the other side of the trees, just in front of the ridgeline. At first I thought it was a close cloud, but it is very dark and full overcast out there tonight and it didn't move like a cloud. It was moving very quickly from west to east, and it was undulating and swirling, as it went like it was wrapping itself up. There was a bright white orb I could see inside of it for a short time. You can see that my dog went up to the fence where the light is. She was looking around. Not sure if she could sense it too or just saw it or what. I guess that's the best way I can describe it. The first time I saw something in the sky I could not identify in my life was August of last year. I was so shocked, I didn't grab the camera. This time I did grab it, even though it passed very quickly, so I have pics for you that I'm sending. Taken with Samsung Note 5.
