Chandler, AZ
Around 8:20 PM, January 28th, 2017, in Chandler, Arizona, I walked to the mailbox and notice 3 large orange lights hovering above. They were group in a triangular shape, not moving for around for ~1 or 2 minutes. Next thing I know, 2 shoot off and disappear, while the 3rd light stays behind for about another minute, before disappearing, as well. During this time, it was easy to distinguish airplanes flying in the distance.

Scottsdale, AZ
Leaving our house in the mountains of Scottsdale with a view of the city, my wife said oh my god what is that? There were three huge diamond shaped lights in the sky that were fire orange. They had two smaller white lights flanking the side. They suddenly changed formation and disappeared. They were 10x the size of commercial jets landing at Sky Harbor which we have a view of. Oddly enough, my office is by the Scottsdale Airport and there were many (f18’s – not exactly sure) on the tarmac all week, which is odd because there are very few military planes there ever (I have worked close to that airport for over 20 years and have only seen military aircraft for air-shows.)

Heading south on 12 from Springfield Corners towards Madison. Bright white light towards Madison. Slightly higher and left from nearby radio antenna. Similar to a star but 10x brighter and slightly larger. Hovered still until streaking fast to the right and dissapearing. I was watching and expecting the object to turn and see red and green lights being near the airport, however the only light was a very bright whitish/blue. The object also dissapeared far faster than any jet could.

At first we didn't think it was moving, in fact it looked stationary, but finally it started to move away from us. It was going northwest. I took pictures of it and when I blew up the picture it looked huge. It was brighter then any star, street light or anything I have ever seen in the sky.

Jenks, OK
January 28th, 2017, at roughly 12:10 a.m., my boyfriend called me outside to see something, telling me to hurry. As a smoker, he is outside rather frequently. I dropped the late night dishes I was working on and hurried to the back door assuming he had spotted an owl. He pointed at the sky and said, “WHAT is THAT?” Frankly, I started to say helicopter but I got this out, “heli…” as I took in the sight and realized how large, how bright, how pulsing, and how it was NOT moving like a helicopter. Furthermore, helicopters don’t use shockingly green, pulsing lights. The very bright, and I mean bright, neon-electric green blob shot in 90-degree angles multiple times where I heard myself blurt, “What IS that?” Just like my boyfriend had done. It gave me the impression it was darting from place to place like it had not prepared a logical route and had to backtrack frequently. I’m sure that’s not true but that is exactly what went through my logical, planning mind. I would plot a course and have a plan of action, not dart and backtrack all over town if I was trying to accomplish something. It flashed, I really should say pulsed, this green light but it wasn’t logical pulsing like an aircraft does. I live near a very small, businessman’s style airport, RL Jones in Jenks, OK and having lived here about 15 years, I know what the airplanes coming and going look like and what they do night and day. Additionally, my former step-father of 10 years was a pilot for American Airlines and I’ve been in his open-cockpit airplane, a private jet he flew and have detailed experience being in and around aircraft. This was NOT an airplane. This thing was brighter than anything in the sky. If I had to compare its brightness to something I would go with something in Las Vegas. One of their casinos. That bright. Bright enough that when my boyfriend pointed it out, I didn’t have scan the horizon and search or squint. My eyes snapped right to this green flashing light. It made no sound I could hear. The pulsing lights it had would flash very quickly but not in any discernable pattern, and then turn off for a split second. When the lights would return, all but once it would have moved a decent distance. At one point it shot so far away, it became a pinpoint of green light, but then it immediately shot back to where it had been. Like I said, this pulsing, vibrant light had no logical sequence of illumination I could detect and I got the visual feeling that the lights were rolling upward, sideways and down to create the undulating, pulsing type light I was witnessing. Right as my boyfriend returned with his phone to try and record this thing, the light went out for about 1 second. It illuminated again still in the same spot, and then the object moved a great linear distance over the rooftops in my field of vision. It was gone in a second. 1 single second after traversing what is visually to me at least two miles. Probably more like three as we sit on a bit of rolling hill and can see very far from our vantage point. It disappeared after it made that long, inexplicable stretch. The trajectory it took generally takes the airplanes I see a couple of minutes to cross. I watch airplanes take the similar route daily and I can watch them for minutes. This was a singular second. I have to assume this object was large to be where it was and so visible, because typically those aircraft are 747’s when they are at that altitude, or much lower and loud if leaving RL Jones and obvious. I can see airplanes from both airports from where my house sits. This thing was markedly brighter, like incomparably bright. You might be tempted to assume it was a Friday night and we were drinking. First, I’m 48-years-old and so is my boyfriend. Secondly, he just got out of the hospital with diverticulitis. One of his antibiotics he must take is alternatively used to help people quit drinking and will cause vicious migraine headaches if the patient attempts to drink. The pharmacist heavily warned him not to dare drink anything alcoholic while taking this antibiotic, so not only was he not drinking, I wasn’t. We don’t take drugs, either. Neither of us has mental disorders of any sort, nor would be so insane as to take time out of our day to write a fake report. I actually was very unnerved. I said prayers, to be frank, for a good while before I went to bed about 30 minutes later. I didn’t get a happy E.T. feeling. I got a hair-raising, yuck, I-don’t-like-that-thing feeling. I’m not a fearful person. Yet, my arm hair stood on end several minutes after coming back inside the house. It was a clear night. No clouds, no weather, if that matters. Anyway, thank you for letting me report this. I actually came to this site to check your information hoping someone else saw this. With the hills we live atop I shouldn’t have been one of two people to see it. It was over the Arkansas River a good while, so I assume people on Riverside Drive on the east side of the river, (I’m on the west side of this river) which is still Jenks, could see it. As far as it darted it also spent some time (seconds that I saw, no more) over south Tulsa, and when it took its pinprick size, long distant jaunt for that second, I would say it was over Glenpool but it went so far it may have crossed into another small suberb. (I’m on the Jenks/Glenpool border.) Thanks again.

Ragley, LA
My husband, who does not believe in UFO's at all, was out feeding the horses around 10:00 p.m. He had finished and was standing facing north when something caught his eye. At first he thought it was a large insect but it had a glow to it. He rubbed his eyes thinking there was something in it. The object hovered about 20 ft in the air in front of him and then zipped right above his head. When he raised his head to look at it, the object made several zigzag motions and then zipped out of his sight into the woods next to our property. The object made no sound at all.

Round bright light would seem to be still like a star then disappear and reappear after some time. Would also change color looked like it was spinning with blue white colors and change shape and swiftly and rapidly move in no apparent direction. Sometime it would appear higher in the sky and then descend so you can see it bigger then smaller in the sky. It has been hanging over the same area for about one month now.

https://youtu.be/loqTF3SWbCg seen dated 9/27/13. I have seen these same lights the past 3 nights near/located approx Southern Pkwy and Hwy 15 as far as I can tell. First noticed them driving from Hurricane to Washington last night. Tonight coming home from airport to St George, these lights seemed to get closer overhead in above location, not far away at all. Really weird.

Russellville, AR
I was watching the brite light in the southwestern sky(the thing they say is Venus but is visible from about 5:20 pm in the daytime) while observing the southwestern light, I witnessed a small light seem to come out of the stationary light (Venus) and move sideways then shoot up and away into space as that was ending what I thought was a star began to move sideways across the sky then also curve upward and shoot off into space! Around two or three minutes after witnessing the first two lights yet another light slowly moved across the sky it would be extremely brite one second then gone the next and it continued this pattern halfway across the night sky! After seeing these three light the sky seamed to fill up with aircraft flying in twos and from multiple angles across the sky. I assume the aircraft in twos was the military!

Something in the sky in the west, not moving, very very bright, we looked at it with just our naked eyes and it was amazing, My husband went and got us both binoculars. I couldn't believe what I could see. It was an elliptical "football" shape with an array of lights over the entire shape in a vertical stance then moved like it rolled over on its side and all the light was along one edge. FREAKY it's the alien invasion we have all been warned about or Jesus is coming from the west, one of the two.

Very bright light moving faster than normal aircraft. Witnessed light get dimmer and smaller until it disappeared. Appeared as though, the light was exiting our atmosphere.

Farmington/New Durham, NH
Driving west on route 11 in the Farmington/New Durham, NH, area and saw a red ball above me. It seemed somewhat stationary as I drove under it rather quickly and was only able to glance up at it a few times. It was not blinking and seemed to be different shades of red. There are no towers around and it appeared to be higher up where a low plane might fly. The size of the ball was much larger than a tower or plane light and again, it was not flashing.

Me and 4 others were driving home when I looked up and saw 5 amber lights all stationary, however the lights were flickering nonstop. This went on for about a minute. Shortly after, there was a very loud, obnoxious booming noise that we can't explain. For the rest of the night we have been seeing several objects in the sky that have a red light, and a white light that have been in the sky for several hours now, however they are not moving. Once we've been home, our dogs have been barking like crazy and refuse to go outside.

I am a school teacher. My class and I were outside doing a couple laps on the school track after lunch. The sky was clear and a couple planes were going by. I glanced up and was looking at the long trail produced out the back of one of the planes, when I noticed what looked like a very bright star in the east by southeast portion of the sky. It appeared to be above the 33,000 foot cruising altitude and was slightly bigger than the planes which were flying their typical daily routes. It just stayed in one place. I pointed it out to my kids because we had never seen a stationary star in the daylight before. The rest of my class gathered around us and we all stopped and watched it. It seemed to slowly shift and elongate. In other words--it went from a star to a white cylinder shape, and then back to a star as if it was maybe rotating like a baton. It would remain a star and only occasionally switch to the cylinder only a few times (3x). A couple times it completely disappeared, then would reappear in the same place. It moved very slowly to the center of the sky at a barely legible speed over the course of 15 minutes, and then completely disappeared. My class was excited and freaking out to each other. None of them were scared whatsoever, and in fact seemed very elated. There was no noise detected from the object, although we cannot hear jets at that altitude either.. (( We have viewed the video, and the white light looks to us to be Venus. PD

I saw a reddish pink light across the sky with dark clouds floating and it was not a sun. This pink light disappeared in less than five minutes. There was one witness who took the photo of the light.

As I was watching it and thinking about the size, it shot south with a blue tail. As I told my boss, "look at that" it seemed to disappear behind what looked like a cloud. Don't know what it was. It might be nothing, but I can't explain it.
