While driving I saw a stationary light, like an upside down teardrop in the western sky. I have seen the same light on two other nights this past week. Sighting of Venus?? PD

My wife and I arrived at my mother´s house in Honeybrook, Pa, around 1:30 pm for a family get together. I scanned the skies to check for signs of geoengineering. I noticed two commercial airplanes flying west, laying down contrails that dissipated pretty quickly at what appeared to be cruising altitude. At this point I noticed what appeared to be three white birds flying (drifting) around in circles, almost like they were drifting around in the air currents. These three white “birds” appeared to be at a similar altitude to the two planes I had been observing. I quickly realized that birds don´t fly at that altitude, and if they did I wouldn´t be able to see them with the naked eye. I pointed it out to my wife to see what her opinion was. She had a hard time seeing what I was asking her to look at, but when she could finally see them she said they were round, white balls—difficult to see. I, too, saw that they were round, white balls flying around erra! tically, like the way a bird of prey might drift around in the air. One of the three objects disappeared, while the other two continued flying west. They twirled around each other in a spiral pattern while zipping west at a very fast pace. No emissions or noise was observed from these two circular ball objects. We both realized that these objects were strange, nothing that we have seen before in the skies. UFO’s? I am a 38 year old truck driver, and my wife is a 38 year old bus driver. We have a daughter and my wife is pregnant. We both listen to Coast to Coast AM and watch the skies for geo-engineering patterns, and this is the first time I have ever seen an aircraft of this nature.

My son and I were playing catch in the backyard when my 8 year old son said, "Look, what is that in the air." At first, I thought it was a piece of thrash flying around, but after a long look it was something flying under some kind of control. Then I thought it might've been a drone because of the small size. But after seeing it keep on going in a straight line I had other opinions. Drones hover. This thing flew straight and fast and we finally lost sight of it,once it went into the rain clouds. Soon after we started to hear jet aircraft noise but we could not see any aircraft. It was not cylindrical but had an arrow like head with a tail like extension. I have never seen anything like it. We are still wondering about it a few hours afterwards.

After pulling an all nighter, on march fifth, 2017, at 5 in the morning, my friend, his little brother and I had decided to go for a walk to a nearby park. While on the asphalt path leading up to the park, we saw an orange colored glowing circle shoot up. We had immediately assumed that it was a flare, and contemplated calling the police in case someone was lost in a forest, but the direction it was coming from was by a more populated area of our city. The glow seemed to get bigger, then smaller. We stood there, watching it out of curiosity. Then, it started moving. My friend and I started recording with our phones, and then began running home. It seemed to come a little bit towards us, then, my phone shut down while on 15%, which it had never done before or after. By the time my phone finally turned on again, the UFO was to far away to be visible on my camera. But my friend still had his footage. We woke up his father and told him about what happened, but re! alized we couldn't show him the footage do to language the three of us used in shock. But we still had the footage. I told my dad about the experience and he told me I needed to "get some sleep". We talked about it the next day, but primarily focused on other things since then. One day, a month and a half later, I learned that my friend's phone had suddenly stopped working. I found this strange, especially because it was only a year and a half old. Since then, I didn't think much of it, until today, when I decided to share my experience with the world. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I took my dog out and went back to bed. Normal view from room shows planes ready to land with lights - the lights I saw were headlight size compared to normal views. Almost a double headlight look and could not tell where it was going - I went to bed early and know what I saw. The object was not clearly making a path to move forward or backwards - and then, an erratic movement pattern occurred - where the light moved in a weird pattern and then ended up in a different position - almost laser like movement rods. Wanted to wake up my husband and daughter but thought it would be gone by then. watched for a few more minutes and watched changes in location. and then it was gone..... could have been Ft. Dix-McGuire testing, or whatever - but what I witnessed was something I had never seen before and couldn't explain erratic and so fast movement. Was not afraid..........

We were driving back late at night from a party, and we look up and there's these two strange flashing red lights and a strange sensation came over the two of us and I didn't catch a photo because of the strange sensation. We circled back to look for it but by them it was gone. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Powell, TN
Me and about 5 other people were on our back porch at about 10 at night when we noticed what looked like a star in the sky. We noticed that it wasn't there yesterday and stars don't just appear out of nowhere so we decided to use our phones to get a closer look. On our cells we noticed that it appeared to be spinning and it was moving slightly, we couldn't tell if it was going up or just further away from us. It's been here for about 30 minutes and we've gotten pretty decent pictures of it. There was just one, and later we noticed what seemed to be a plane going towards it but we couldn't really see that well. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Sioux Falls, SD
I was traveling west on I-90 between the Cliff Ave. exit and I-29. I observed an airplane approaching the airport and the plane was traveling south across the interstate and preparing to landing at the airport. After the plane had passed by and landed, I observed a large singular white sphere of light fly down toward the ground and then it changed course and curved up towards the sky again. It was traveling east to west. It traveled as a high rate of speed and then as it came down it appeared to increase speed before changing flight path and curving up into the sky again. As it curved up it abruptly disappeared and I seen two quick flashes of light where it disappeared. I never seen it again. It had no streak or tail behind it. I was in my car but heard no jet noise. It traveled at a much faster rate of speed than any fighter plane I’ve seen. I also observed another plane that appeared to be preparing to land at the airport and this object streaked ! through the sky in between the two planes that were landing. At first I thought it might be a meteor but it did not have a tail and it changed course and turned up into the sky again. It was also significantly larger than any star or flashing light on an airplane in the sky.

Looked like a really bright wihite light like a star. It came straight down form the heavens, had strange maneuvers, and stopped and hovered for a long time, then dimmed and dropped behind the Beartooth Mt. range. There was no sound and it was brighter than stars. Sighting of Venus?? PD

Bright orange light first spotted northeast of our campsite and was traveling southwest bound at constant high rate of speed. The object was first spotted approximately 10 degrees above the horizon and continued to be visible until it was approximately 10 degrees above the southwest horizon! No sound was noticed as it passed by nor several minutes after it passed. There were five sober adult witnesses to the object! Including three Law Enforcement Officers! ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) This is a supplement to my original report made on 03/04/2017. Several important things came to mind. Myself, as well as the other witnesses with me, enjoy spotting satellites while camping! This is often done with the aid of the iPod app SkyView, as well as the Sky View Satellite guide! When this object was noticed, we all commented on how different it was, compared to a normal sighting of a satellite. The object was faster, brighter, and maintained the same intensity in illumination during the entire observation, from approximately 10 degrees above the northeast horizon, over our location, to about 10 degrees above the southwest horizon. Most satellites will get brighter or dimmer, depending on its relationship to the earth and sun! The moon that night was about half full but the object was still very visible! My wife was able to orient her IPad in the direction of the object, but no satellite was noted on her app! I know that not all satellites may be allowed to appear on this app, as well as all space junk (rocket bodies)! We spoke via telephone with the witness, who works in law enforcement, and we found him to be sincere and sober-minded. He added that all of the witnesses are skilled at observing satellites passing overhead, and that the object had a distinctly orange appearance to it. We have corrected the date above, to reflect a sighting on March 04, 2017, which is the date the witness intended. PD

It showed up again at about the same time, 1900pm. My wife spotted it. I went down the street to get a better look, it was just sitting there in the sky. A white light with a lite haze around it. Not moving at all, not changing to brite white to low like last time. Sighting of Venus? PD

I saw a red ball like object that appeared to have a flame of sorts around it. It moved upward and proceeded slowly in a horizonal motion then increased slightly in speed. As i was driving, I was unable to keep a constant visual of the object, and it disappeared. I have never witnessed anything like this.

Monson, ME
I was playing a video game tonight and heard a low-flying helicopter go over my house. It was enough to shake my house, and also several of my neighbors went outside to see what was going on. I didn't actually see the helicopter, but my neighbor said that it "had a big spotlight on it" and looked like it was looking at the power lines on our street and then it flew off. Several seconds later, I yelled up the street to my closest neighbor and said "what the _____ was that?" And he replied he didn't know what was going on. I went back inside for a few moments and figured it was a search helicopter or Lifelight (we have snowmobile trails here and several people become injured or lost) and I figured maybe that's what was going on. We have had helicopters flying low before looking for marijuana but it's the dead of winter and I'd highly doubt that was the cause. Anyway I went outside to see if the helicopter was going to make a circle back. I heard the sound of a plane off in the distance, went to my backyard and saw 3-4 aircraft off toward Borestone Mountain which is about 10 miles away. They appeared to be either jets or helicopters. As it was night time I could only make out the lights and that they were moving "left to right". At that moment I was pretty sure something had happened and decided to call the sheriff's department and notified them of what was happening. They said that they had "no reports" of Lifelight or any other aircraft (from an emergency standpoint) in the area. The dispatcher on the phone said "you are the only person to call in about it TONIGHT." I asked, "has this happened before?". She said that she had had reports in the past of aircraft in the Monson area and low-flying helicopters as recently as a week ago. I didn't give them my name but told them in general where I live as I didn't want to sound crazy. I then went to the store and talked to a clerk who had said she saw the helicopter. Another friend across town also mentioned on Facebook she thought the "helicopter was going to land on her house." I know I didn't see an object - but what is making me report this is that after I had returned home, I looked above my house and noticed more aircraft and a suspicious low-cloud at the end of my street. It is pretty windy here tonight, and the cloud DID NOT move. It seemed to be like a trail and it was going in the direction of the mountain I had previously mentioned. I showed my neighbor who remarked the cloud looked weird - the moon lit it up in the dark. It is a clear night and very cold with wind. I am just wondering if it was perhaps a military exercise or there was some kind of incident like a UFO, maybe something crashed? I live in rural Maine and although we get military planes occasionally it is below zero and I doubt any training would be going on - especially so close to the ground. I didn't see an object but am curious as to what it could be. I've heard of reports like this in the past that have happened around the world and I have an avid interest in UFOs.

I was on the peak of a one story house roofing, when I heard what seemed like a sonic boom—something, living in Alaska, I have only experienced maybe 2 times… But I remember distinctly experiencing the first as a child and how it lead me to ask/learn about the speed of sound, etc., after hearing a massive jet fly over, yet looking up to see the only aircraft in the sky was already far far past me.. So on this super chilly yet beautiful BLUEBIRD, (literally not a single cloud visible in the sky) sunny day, I was sitting on the peak of the roof and as with a sonic boom, this out of nowhere, thunder-like BOOMING began so I started to scour the sky for the plane. There is a very small municipal airport nearby, so watching the various and at times quite suspicious types of helicopters/planes that come and go, is something I actively do as we work. As the INTENSE sounds continued it was immediately obvious that the sound was not “flying by” but instead was isolated almost directly above me, a little more towards the north east though. It was if a rocket was taking off above my head but that it was either sooooooooo far up that my (extremely excellent) eyes were unable to see it or that whatever it was, was COMPLETELY invisible. I have read the unaided human eye can see a candle flame from 30 miles soooo, whatever was producing the noise was not reflecting light, was behind a barrier or was projecting its sound "angularly" by bouncing it off of a barrier. It was SO LOUD that it literally rattled my bones with cracking and booming, freaking me ((deleted)) out. Another way to describe how the whole thing felt is like the blue of the sky was the surface of water, and I couldn’t see up into it, but right on the other side of the surface was an enormous turbine propeller that literally tore its vessel away with power resulting in what sounded like a sheet of tin, as big as the sky around me, being shaken over and over and over --like you do with sheet to make a bed.. I searched the sky for any movement- for minutes even after the sound ended. Looking in every direction over and over, closing my eyes a time or two because of the intensity of the sunlight and trying to make sure my eyes combined with the immense field of BLUE NOTHINGNESS, didn’t start playing tricks on me.. Picture me like some freaking crazy-ass, paranoid tweaker, sitting on top of a roof, in -15F, doing a methodical but semi frantic 360 scan of an empty sky, over and over.... Ohhh how I HOPE someone saw it hahaha There were no planes, birds , clouds, wind--- NOTHING. The noise was of seemed an invisible craft ascending straight up, directly away from the earth until it could not be heard from the ground any longer. I have seen the videos of crafts with chameleon abilities but with those, there were objects and clouds around/behind them so it seemed their movement and outlines were visible. There was nothing but the stop-you-in-your-tracks noise and the nearly impossible-to-describe blue of an Alaskan sky on a below zero, sunny day. I have had two unidentified sightings before this. The first in late Dec 2013 shared with another witness that was reported—which shared someone else’s similar report on the same day/area on NUFO, and the second not reported from winter of 2015. I wish i had thought to record the sky to see if something was caught... oh well ........ To me it is insanely humorous how people are told not to believe & neglect their own eyes/hears/senses in general, and how most are willing to ‘accept’ some second hand information or “knowledge” from a complete strangers mouth-- from some device or screen of which they have not even the most basic understanding of its workings, nonetheless!

As I drove through an apartment complex on Davis road, I noticed an unusual bright glow approaching from the south. I immediately stopped my truck and started recording video. I pointed it out to my passenger who was also stunned . The object was moving from south to north, before changing to a eastern course and disappearing behind a cloud layer 7000-10000 feet. It was difficult to judge distance, but I believe the craft was at a much higher altitude. Likely massive size.

Temecula, CA
Date: March 3, 2017. Time: 9:00 p.m Pacific time; California Location: Temecula, California Duration: 20 sec Direction: Eastward across the sky, 3 stars that appeared to be the size of Orion’s Belt in the sky appeared and weaved slightly and then disappeared. Not out of my vision, but into the sky, as it was dark. They also seemed to appear out of no where. Earlier approximately 30-60 mins, I saw a shooting star, which I thought was odd given the reflective light from the city and my location. I hope that helps, I apologize if my over enthusiatisc tone made you think that this was a prank, but it is not. Any further inquires you have regarding this situation, I would love to hear from you, via reply to this email. I appreciate what you are doing and hope more people speak up and report what they see! Best wishes, ((name deleted))
