Grandview, TX
This has been going on during spring and summer months for two years. Large, quiet, pulsating lights east and west usually. They move slowly into place then stop. I live in rural area surrounded by nature. Nights the lights are here you can hear a pin drop with only domestic dogs barking, and I mean all barking. We have large coyote population which makes for loud nights. When lights are in the sky, they do no make a sound. EVER. Early February I was playing fetch with my dog at sunset. Within minutes of darkness, here they come again, only they were followed by airplanes I could hear. Flying in circles over four towns.I watched as the pulsating light lashed so bright I covered my eyes, my dog ran in the house I was frozen. Then a small airplane buzzed over me so close I could have seen pilot in daylight. Small plane with no landing gear (not a crop duster) It was dark in color smooth underneath sounded jet like? The lights in sky disappeared until last night. They are back and I wish they would go somewhere else.

Kansas City, KS
When looking to the west of Kansas City. Viewing stars on a clear night sky. A fast moving light caught my eye. coming from the east headed west. Appeared to turn, or bank right, and faded out of sight. Sighting lasted 2 to 3 seconds. Bright white in color, and would estimate it to be traveling at a elevation of at least 60,000 ft. or higher. Then about 7 seconds later. Coming from east again, headed west. I see three bright lights moving fast. Headed in the same direction as the first object. Two in front were side by side, with the third following behind the front one on the right. Sighting of those three lasted for about 2 to 3 seconds. Estimated elevation of 60,000 ft. Moving to fast to be satellites. Source of the report elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. PD

This is a report about two sightings an hour apart. As it is St. Patrick's Day, I would like to state that neither myself nor my mother drink or had taken any medications. Tonight was an absolutely clear night, with no clouds or wind in this area, and very good view of the stars. We had been out running errands and had a meal and as I was the driver today I had just dropped my mother off at her house and I stopped at the stop sign at the end of mom's block to make my turn and noticed to my east right about 9:30 pm an unusual colored light not to far off. At first, I thought is it a helicopter, but the light wasn't red, it was a very bright orange, about the size of a large beach ball, perfectly illuminated all the way around, solid orange color. The orb/sphere sized light was traveling North towards my mom's house, so I rolled down my window to listen and there was no noise. It didn't resemble a plane, helicopter, Chinese lantern, drone or a balloon and was flying level about 300 to 400 feet over the treeline. I reversed my car back to mom's house and as I pulled up into her driveway the orb/sphere disappeared over her house/neighbor's house (I probably witnessed the orb for a total of 10 seconds). I got mom back outside (as she has seen this orange orb several years ago and reported it on this site then) and we watched the skies for about 10 minutes and did not see a thing other than planes passing high above. I went home and did not witness anything else on the ride home. However, nearly one hour later, mom would have a second sighting. Mom forgot to bring and snailmail a couple of bills so she left to drop them off at the post office at around 10:25 pm. She gets to the corner stop sign (right where I witnessed the orb an hour earlier) and sees the exact same thing coming from the east. She stated that the bright orange light was about the size of large ball and was going from her east to the north and disappeared in the same way. She stated that it didn't come as close as her home but was further away. She also rolled her window down and never heard a sound. She also stated it wasn't a balloon, plane, helicopter and she didn't think it was a drone either. Neither one of us know what this orange light is.

Franklin, TN
Went outside to take a night walk and noticed it was starting to lightning and sprinkle. We looked into the sky to see how frequent the lightning was and noticed a floating light moving across the sky from low in the south southwest horizon in a low arc and disappearing in the north northeast sky at about a 35 degrees above the horizon. The light looked like a single flickering flame and was moving about like an airplane would fly, but there was no noise and they were just below the clouds. After we noticed the first one, there were 6 more that came behind it, perfectly spaced apart in the same arc.

On the evening of March 17, 2017, upon arrival home from work, I turned onto Cemetery Road from State Hwy. 206, heading toward my home, when I saw 4 bright white orbs lined up from the mountain in diagonal fashion. Then they suddenly scattered in various directions. After they disappeared, 2 white orbs, 2 red orbs and 2 gold orbs took their place. The 2 gold orbs took off toward the west. The 2 red orbs took off toward the north. The 2 white orbs remained. The gold and the reds returned. More white orbs spawned from the stationery white orbs. The new white orbs seemed to bounce along the mountaintop then way up in the sky. They seemed to travel in tandem. At one point 10 white orbs gathered a cluster of 5 pairs above the mountaintop. This went on for several hours with orbs breaking away from a pair or cluster and seemingly dancing across the sky.

I was driving North on I-215 and my 9 year old son shouted from the back, "Mom, mom what the heck is that?... Mom look." Unfortunately, I was in heavy, fast moving traffic and just couldn't take my eyes off the road. He watched a flat disc move at incredible speed across the length of the mountains. He said, "Mom, I know how fast a plane crosses that space. It takes minutes, and that thing crossed in seconds - the whole mountain range and then just vanished." He couldn't get over what he had seen. I am soooo bummed I missed it.

The two object appeared as bright as stars and then quickly changing from red, to little green lights, to heavy white lights. Almost as if someone was holding an LED flash light on your face. One moved in a horizontal straight line back and forth changing colors. The other one, remained with bright white lights and moved a little to the left and right, always horizontally. At 6:38 AM, one left and one remained till after 7AM. Since a little after 2AM they both have been hovering for many hours. ((ADDENDUM FROM ALLEGED SOURCE OF ORIGINAL REPORT)) Hello, I have additional proof to go with my report dated 3/17/2017 Rockville, MD. This lasted between 2am and 7am on the 17th. It’s definitely not a star. Let me know what you think. Best regards, ((END ADDENDUM)) Source of the report elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Tolland, CT
Prior to March 17, 2017, I treated UFO reports as simply more sensationalist seeking hogwash. I still don’t know what the object was, can’t even explicitly define it as a UFO, but what I and my wife saw that night while driving in Tolland, CT, 12:45 AM was very strange. Orange light motionless in the sky. We watched it for a while as we tried to determine if it was a planet or an airplane heading to Bradley airport. We dismissed the plane theory because it was not moving. Dismissed the planet theory because it was too big. At one point my wife said it’s a house on top of the mountain, to which I responded there is no mountain in Connecticut that high. I made a left turn to go up a hill to get a better look. As the car rounded the corner at the top of the hill we saw the orange glow like a huge sodium lamp in the sky. I stopped the car and that’s when the bizarre behavior began. The previously stationary light moved quickly to the right, faster than a helicopter or any other aircraft, but slower than a meteorite, made sweeping left turn and disappeared behind the trees. There was no sound, I had opened the car window. I took a picture of my location with my cell phone but when I checked the picture, the GPS coordinates were not recorded. Weird and frightening. My wife can verify. We were not drinking, neither of us do drugs, and we were not dreaming.

This is a summary of what my husband and I have witnessed and observed on our home security camera system since March 17, 2017, when we first observed a strange rectangular string of very bright lights, attached to what appeared to be a metal bar, in the southwest corner of the backyard, picked by the video on camera #7. The string of lights appeared to be an ordinary light one would have in a shop; however, it is only visible on screen of the video recorder. When we look outside, the lights cannot be seen with the naked eye. This summary does not address a single sighting, but is current and on-going almost nightly since April 8, 2017, when we first began to monitor and document observations of the nighttime activities, taking place around the property on a regular basis and have replayed and captured quite a few pictures and videos, documenting what we have observed today to date. Since we first began to observe closely on April 8, 2017, it has gone to another level in terms of the entire operation. It appears that it has become an invasion of our property, now we are seeing strange creatures that cannot be described as humans as we know them. They are very small in stature, fly in appearing as birds, brightly lit all over, and changing into circles and into small creatures with human characteristics in terms of movement, but definitely not human. When they come in they appear to be carrying out what appear to be specific pre assigned tasks, prior to the larger equipment, consisting of very long strings of lights that appear to be controlled by something or someone to turn on and off periodically, as they approach the property. Initially, they were coming from the trees on the west and the north sides of the house, only. Now they are coming from the southwest most of the time, and the West and North some of the time. There appears to be space ship! s and/or aircraft type objects characteristic of but different, i.e. Smaller, but able to light up a large area when they appear. (Modes of travel) involved in the operations. Sometimes the forerunners come in as a large brightly lighted circle or rectangular object. From what we have observed, they come in as workers, here to do a job. They appear to be well coordinated and work in conjunction with the other objects as they come in. As a part of the preparation, they appear to spray an unknown substance that look like snowflakes and appear to turn into hale or sleet resembling crystal flakes. When they are in the completely screened pool area they release some type of substance into the water before the others come in. Sometimes when it rains, we see many of something dive into the pool, which is completely enclosed, with no opening, except the locked doors. They have attempted to remove the small Weber grill from the pool area unsuccessfully. It is difficult to explain what we are personally seeing because it is monumental. I must mention an incident that happened on May 6, 2017, at approximately 11:30PM when a laptop computer vanished from the reception room, while we were removing items from the car, which was parked right in from of the door. The laptop was placed on a credenza inside of the reception area; it disappeared and has not been seen since. On the morning of May 29, 2017, at 5:39AM, we were seeing family off who were taking a trip in their automobile; we were in the driveway assisting them in re-arranging some of the articles in the car to make more room. While we were outside, we did not hear or see anything or anyone, However, on replay of the video, The unidentified objects were flying all over our heads the whole time we were outside, approximately 30 minutes. I have looked for every possible logical explanation to understand what is going on. Have researched the internet on aliens, demons, religion, witchcraft, national security, etc. All I can explain is that the activities are very organized, comparable to an army, and there appears to be what I have determined to be the captain or director, who is always present. Some time they appear to conduct air shows, with precision and formation. There are concerns about water and earth contamination as well as other concern. We are looking for answers. We have looked at all of the many photos the witness has submitted to our Center, and we see nothing in them that suggests to us the presence of a UFO. PD

I think it's the government I don't believe in Aliens I want to believe We wonder whether this report is an attempt to hoax our Center. PD

Gull Lake, MI
Was laying down and noticed a very bright light in the sky. Thought it was a star until I noticed its very small movements. Once my friend came to take a look it had gotten further away and moved a bit to the side in the sky. Eventually it got so much distance it looked like a smaller light as if it slowly drifted up in the sky. At first I was able to see it bright and easily from where I was laying and after about an hour it was much further away and it had moved to the point where I couldn't see it from where I was laying anymore.

Observed several red flickering lights rising single file at various sporadic intervals to an an elevation of 1500 to 2000 feet (best guess), move sideways a short distance, continue flickering for several minutes and then each light would stop flickering one by one as though they were being turned off by some imaginary switch.

Was in my home in South Tempe near Baseline and the 101 Freeway, when I heard the sounds of one or more large helicopters passing overhead. I remained indoors, when about 5 minutes later the event was repeated. On the third occasion, I ran outside and observed a single helicopter with navigational lights on at a very low altitude (under 500 feet) passing from north to south. It was tailing an object which appeared to be longitudinal and tapered of about the same length as the helicopter. The object had a string of approximately 20-25 small white unvarying lights arranged along its length. The object displayed no other lights. The helicopter appeared to be a Blackhawk, although that is just a guess as it was difficult to see due to darkness. Previously, we have in the past had Marine helicopters occasionally perform similar maneuvers in our area when practicing urban combat training. However those occasions were marked by that was always announced well in advance and there was no such announcement on this occasion.

Two military helicopters flying rectangular paths around the East Valley of Phoenix AZ. Lead aircraft was a Cobra with lots of armor looking items hanging off each side of the aircraft. Second helicopter was a military type, id unknown, passenger type. Both aircraft were painted in a light gray color. I got a good look at the cobra with my binoculars, it was about 200 feet off the deck above my home in Mesa AZ. Both helicopters were flying at high speeds compared to the normal speed of police and medical helicopters that frequent the area. At the same time a prop driven aircraft was circling our part of the city at about 8 to 12 thousand feet during this 45 minute period of time. When the helicopters left the area the prop plane at high altitude left to the west. Unknown which way the 2 military helicopters left due to there low altitude. I realize this is not a UFO sighting but, unless this is an unannounced military exercise over a large city, something is going on. I have sat in my back yard a lot over the last 20 years, this situation is very unusual. Source of the report elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Chandler, AZ
I saw 3 bright red lights flying in a triangular formation very low to the ground and in complete silence. The objects were very low to the ground and heading west over Chandler. The red objects would move closer to one another and then further apart while maintaining a triangular pattern varying from equilateral, to iscoseles, to scalene, in nature. The frequency at which these lights were blinking were mutually exclusive. They all seemed to make up part of a whole, but they were emanating light on their own accord with complete autonomy. I immediately ruled out radar on a commercial aircraft because of the nature of the blinking of these objects. After a minute, they disappeared out of my line of vision. Shortly after, 2 helicopters appeared to give chase to whatever this thing was.

The flash seemed to be about 100 ft in the air and about 8 feet across- but the bright light it emitted exposed a good 50-100 yards in front of me in all directions, seemingly. There was no sound prior to the event. After the event, it sounded like power lines were being interfered with. Weather was clear.

Looked as bright as Venus and was in between Venus and sister star. It paused directly between them then changed direction to the moon. Continued to the moon and washed out in the moon's light. I waited for it to come out of the moon's light for 10 minutes. Nothing appeared to come out.

I was traveling east bound, I-44,12:15 AM,3-16-2017,near Springfield, Mo. Noticed west bound flatbed, with dropdeck, being escorted by 8 vehicles.4 in front ,4 in rear. They were traveling approximately 60 mph. On the flatbed was a silvery colored disk. typical saucer shape. 12 ft in height, 35 ft in diameter. Looked like they took up the entire west bound lanes. Escorts were running both lanes. West bound traffic was about 1/4 mile behind escorts. Weather was 40 degrees, clear. NUFORC has received several other sightings of the same, or a similar, object. We do not know what the object is, but we suspect it is used in either military, and/or intelligence, applications. PD

About an hour later, I noticed the light was gone. I laid down for the night and heard a distant explosion. The cows (I live right in the middle of a pasture) let out one loud bellowing "moo" all in unison, then nothing else happened. 3 to 4 days later (tonight) I saw a bright flash across my living room and heard another very loud explosion and it was much closer this time. Close enough to rattle the windows of my house. The cows did not make any sounds this time.
