I was looking in a western (west) position and I looked up to see what appeared to be a very bright star. There was no sound, and it appeared stationary. I took photos of the object but I was moving a lot. Anyway, there were airplanes in the area (they had to see this), but I never seen any airplanes chasing it. If I am allowed, I will attach a pic. Probable sighting of Venus? PD

UFO was seen near the big dipper. it would flash very bright about every 15 seconds like a camera flash. It was not an Iridium flare; we see those all the time. Because it was doing a zigzag pattern and then it went straight north. This is my second report on the exact same object seen last year on June 23, 2016.

1 bright white spherical orb with a slight glow under and around it first noticed around 6:30 PM in the low western sky above New Berlin/Waukesha area or further west. Appeared much brighter, earlier, and lower than any normal star constellations. Stayed fixed on the same point in the sky and did not move for hours. Probable sighting of Venus? PD

Marietta, OH
On the night of Tuesday, Feb. 21st, 2017, about 10:45 P.M. Returning home from work, I saw a defined sphere/globe, bright glowing red orange ball appear apparently out of the cloud cover above (no stars were visible) and then traveling, almost downward, about as fast as a speedy jet liner disappearing over tree covered horizon toward east southeast as I was traveling down Acme Street in Marietta, Ohio. At first, I thought that it might simply be a reflection of a sodium street lamp on Acme Street appearing on my wind screen or one of the large area lights on one of several tall masts near the Interstate 77 interchange with Ohio SR 7/Pike St., only a hundred yards from the opening of Acme Street. (No way one of these disappeared below the horizon, since you drive under them going through the interchange.) However, continuing to observe the light as I traveled toward Pike Street the light continued in a fashion matching the speed of a fast jet plane, low, and eventually disappearing over the horizon. It did not seem to get much smaller than when I first saw it appear. This object did not appear like 'fire' nor did it have a tail of any sort. The object was close enough that my palm on an outstretched arm would have covered it up neatly. The light appeared as a well defined sphere or globe and never changed direction, indeed, almost as if it were coming down instead of going further. This sighting lasted less than two minutes. There is an airport due south of Marietta, OH, across the river in Wood County (Gill-Robb Wilson Air Field/Wood Cty. Airport), where a West Virginia ANG Unit operates. However, this light appeared to go past that direction, and did not appear to have any features matching a plane or helicopter. There were no flashing lights or landing gear lights. I am a casual observer of the sky and have a decent knowledge of what planes look like in the day and night. My son is an amateur astronomer and so some of that knowledge has come in handy knowing the difference of planets, stars, and other common aerial phenomena. This was nothing like I'd ever seen before, as it was cloudy and the ball of light was under the cloud ceiling (which in my sons opinion rules out Jupiter, for instance, which was shining in the east—or a comet or meteor) and to my knowledge, any air craft (or phenomena) I've ever laid eyes upon.

We were observing our back yard as we had seen a hovering orb for around a half hour sitting there. We then made the choice to try to trace it's where about and drove, then gathering multiple photographs that were very incriminating and show the clear body of the craft as well as a sort of beam coming out of the bottom. The object also seemed to have hovered above a house for a brief period of time however we did not see if an abduction happened as we were a bit away and without the phone, it looked like a very bright orb. A few times it would move extremely fast and then seem to vanish. Only to show up again 10 minutes later. The photos captured were very clear when zoomed in and show the craft almost completely clearly.

Sitting in hot tub watching southern sky it came from the west horizontally and went east - traveled in our sight and out of sight in 45 seconds - amazingly fast. Had just been watching planes and they would take several minutes to come and go... This had red lights only - on continuously. It was moving! No sound or sonic boom - very interesting. Went on line to see if I could find out what it was but can't seem to locate anything... ?

Strange orange orbs seen floating above boulder. Several orbs of light lighting up the forest like a giant flashlight. There were at least 10 of them. All scattered around the mountainsides and valleys. They behaved like giant search lights scoping the forests. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

A large pulsing green oval traveled across the sky in an arcing trajectory in a horizontal direction. The object was lower than the typical altitude of a plane, but higher than the tree line. The object moved at relatively fast pace towards the north. I slowed my vehicle to try and track the object, but it had already accelerated out of sight.

Sun City West, AZ
My wife and I initially thought we were seeing a flock of several geese flying in a “V” formation flying north over Sun City West, AZ, at an altitude of less than five hundred feet. The “geese” looked white or cream colored, but we both immediately realized that all we could see were wings, no necks or feet like you would see on bird. The trailing edge of each pair of wings was black or dark colored. Just as we realized these were not birds, the objects began maneuvering around each other, gliding over or under each other, moving forward and back, all without any movement of the wings. I turned to my wife and said “do you see what they are doing,” and immediately looked back to where the objects had been. I looked away for less than 2 seconds but when I looked back, the objects that had been directly above us had disappeared. I was driving a convertible car with the top down at about 35 miles per hour. The sky was completely clear and visibility in every direction above the single story houses was unlimited. The sighting took place about 7 miles from Luke Air Force Base and there were jets in the area at the time of the sighting.

My sister and I initially thought we were witnessing a bird migration, but the elevation was too high to be birds. We then witnessed what looked like 10 circular craft, that were light in color, possible light silver or white, and were reflective, begin moving in a fluid formation that was like nothing we have ever witnessed. They bobbed and weaved within one another so fluidity that we were sure we couldn't be witnessing anything man made. They flew in this fluid formation for 10 minutes then completely disappeared. There were no clouds in the sky for them to disappear into, and it was perfect weather with very little wind. My sister and I were driving north on our way home from running errands and we turned west and watched them until they disappeared. When we arrived home, we saw fighter jets flying around our area.

There was a bright light at least 10 times the brightness of a typical star hovering in one spot for over 2 hours. Then, it vanished.

An extremely large rod shape, with bright white, with lightest bluish light mixed in, I counted to 2 and it was gone the size looked to me as the size and shape of a street road (one side of a street road) that is how large it looked to me the light was there and gone. I really did not have time to be worried or scared but I could not forget the shape and thought what on earth could have that kind of light, I did not see a craft large enough to hold this light! just the light it self! nothing really came to mind at the time yet I could not stop thinking about it and started looking on site to see if any one else had seen this light and found this web site on reporting, sightings such as these.. I keep G-d close to me and I thought its was best to report what I do not understand ! In my opinoin when we do not understand because it is not known to us this can make us afraid.

Viewed 3 white lights in a triangle formation moving south west at a low altitude. I watched it as long as i could from my drive way. I could not hear any noise like a plane or helicopter.

bright blue flash of light in northern and western sky like very nearby lightning but no sound except crazy loud wind gust. Conditions are partly cloudy, bright stars, showers, windy. I have seen a lifetime of midwest lightning displays, never saw this bright blue color or that intense of a flash with no loud crack right behind. Our dogs are not afraid of thunder, wind or lightning, but they ran back to door to be let in and were nervous. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Roswell, GA
FEB 20th, I was traveling on POST OAK TRITT RD in Roswell GA at 9:30 pm and in the same area I’d seen this lighted flying object before, I saw it dart to the north of my car over some trees. there was another companion, but it was too far to the left of my car up in the sky and I could only visually track 1 object. I pulled my car into the tennis courts of my subdivision, up on a hill and watched until it came back into view. I have a video of it. it looks oval in the sky but on video more round. white illumination. Hard to tell at night the size of this. I'd say it was 1000 ft. up in the sky. It was dark. Lasted for about 10 min. This is the third time I've seen this phenom. The last time was off of highway 120 which is abut 2 miles from this area. I'll be happy to send an email.

My sister and I were driving from Tucson to Sierra Vista tonight. Right near the Sanoita/Patagonia exit going east on I-0 we noticed a bright light in the sky, It was hovering and bobbing. The light was getting dimmer and brighter. We continued to watch it and finally pulled off on Lenzer Rd. in Sierra Vista. We smoked a cigarette and watched it until it very suddenly disappeared. Pretty cool and we got a few photos. It was definitely not an airplane or anything like that, there is no way. It was in the same spot relatively for over 25 minutes and was pretty low in altitude also.

I was driving to our new house with a load of stuff and maintained the same schedule two nights in a row. Both nights Feb 19th and Feb 20th. I saw an enormous glowing light in the same location. It was not blinking. Other aircrafts were in the sky and there blinking lights seemed tiny compared to it. The light went from a bright yellowish white glow to a green hue. Both nights it seemed to almost follow me. It managed to stay in view all the way home to Coon Rapids. How has no one reported it. It appears to be stationary and switches from a green hue to a bright white and appears twice the size of planes around it. My girlfriend had a migraine and was not amused by my excitement.

According to my Iphone, the location of the video begins at Coyote Run Golf Course, before my landing at Midway International Airport. There is no sound in the video and this may be because my headphones were plugged in at the time because I was watching a downloaded television series. Although I don't know if that is the reason, I beleive it to be that it was the result of my faulty headphone microphone. My friend, who I told the entire experience to wanted to see the video but I couldn't send the video because it was to big to send, so he insisted on me posting it on YouTube which I did, in case anyone had any questions about my video who wasn't my friend I put all the basic information in the description. I do not have any explanation for the aircraft I saw, this was a UFO because this wasn't my first sighting, I had another sighting down the street from my own home, (26037 Whispering Woods Circle). I don't know if they are connected to me in some way or if it is simply an improbable coincidence. I ask that you respond because I too research and soon investigate UFOs and other paranormal and supernatural phenomena, I am no fraud I simply think that I should report this because I believe that my story along with everyone else's have a right to be heard. (( We first posted this report on March 10, 2017, but we did so, without having spoken with the witness. We have attempted to reach him via telephone, but have not been successful yet in speaking with him. We are uncertain as to whether the report is a serious account of a genuine sighting, or whether it might be an attempt to submit a hoaxed report. The duration of the sighting that was indicated by the witness makes us doubly suspicious. Also, when we first posted the report, we inadvertently overlooked the fact that the witness had included his name in the report, which we now have deleted. The oversight was our fault, a result of our dealing with a daunting workload, at the time. PD))

Walked out to smoke looked up. There was a triangular object with orange lights traveling slowly. Then it just went up straight up into the sky.
