multi light ferris wheel shaped object in the southwestern sky with a smaller light tracking it it's like it escaped from the amusement park and now it's just floating and twirling and hovering .....white and green lights....i put telescope on it and it has a ring of lights and then spokes that are covered in lights and all connected in a spider web pattern. dog and horse are freaking out....the hair on my dog's back is standing up and my horse is running around the pasture snorting. crossed over to the east sky and starting to look more like a jellyfish with red green and white electrical charges pulsing through it. vanished into cloud cover. Venus, we suspect. PD

New Paltz, NY
It a clear dark sky, and we spotted two triangular crafts, with three bright lights, in the center a white light with a red light on one side and a blue light on the other. Then six more crafts appeared in the northeast sky each flying a distance from each other they were moving slowly and steady towards the south. They moved without making any sounds. Also, in the sky we sighted a orb like image, whitish in color. Date was flawed. We have amended it to reflect a sighting on January 16, 2017. PD

January 15, 2017 · 10:00 PM · FIREBALL
San Diego, CA
At first I thought the fireball might be a meteor or an aircraft on fire. It moved slowly south to north across the western sky. When I first saw the fireball several small fireballs dropped and burned out as they fell. This led me to believe it may be an aircraft that was burning, it dropped one last small fireball that burned-out, then it continued north across the sky moving at a pace similar to a plane in the distance, until it faded from sight.

Phoenix, AZ
Brother was driving me to work. When approached 35th Ave Bell on the west side noticed a light flashing on the sky. Almost like a plane except it wasnt moving. I told my brother look at that light up there can you see it moving? He said "no its just sitting there, its probably a star". Had to been like a minute in & then the light disappeared. Not even a second went by before it reappeared & was bigger & brighter than ever. It went from a speck of light blinking into a large flash & vanished. Was amazing!!!

Okay, so I've had multiple sightings over the years. I woke up after a night of quite strange dreams. I noticed I had a very odd marking on my torso. Photo submitted by source of report shows multiple, small red marks on the left side of her chest. PD

I was driving from Harrah, Oklahoma, to El Paso, Texas, when a light appeared in the sky and disappeared. Then 6 lights appeared in the sky, and a triangle ship came out of one of the lights, spinning, angrily flying straight at me, then vanished right before it could hit me then reappeared and followed me for like 30 or 40 miles then disappeared on the top of carrizzo mountain

My friend was getting into his car at around 8:30-9:00pm, when he noticed something flying in the air. He called me over and pointed toward the object he was watching and my eyes immediately fixated on it. The object was very high in the sky and I live near the Fort Lauderdale airport so I know most aircrafts do not reach those altitudes when preparing to land or even after taking off. Most airplanes I am familiar with never reach altitudes past 60,000 feet but the object had to have been up at least 100,000 feet. The UFO appeared as a seemingly small, circular, reddish dot in the sky, it did not flash or glow. It was traveling at relatively high speeds but that was the least interesting thing about it. After we stood watching it for almost a minute, I pulled out my phone in an attempt to get real footage of what we witnessed. I had an iPhone 6s Plus and the quality of the camera along with the height of the UFO made it impossible to capture due to the time ! of night. (This has made me into more of a believer than before knowing that even modern day technology is barely capable of capturing something so astonishingly high in the sky.) It made no audible sounds possibly because of its altitude. We watched the object continue across the sky until we noticed another exactly similar one! They were flying towards each other until they got very close to one another. I knew this was beyond human capability, because one UFO (the second one to be spotted) came to an abrupt stop. The UFO we originally seen continued on after they had crossed paths for approximately 5-10 seconds. We watched in amazement and curiosity as the second UFO stopped moving as if it had spotted us! It shot a white, star-colored dust into the air which dissipated very quickly, which after deep thought, we believe to be a thruster of some sort because the second UFO vanished moments later. In total, we witnessed about 2 minutes of seemingly unexplainable activity happening thousands of feet above us. My only dream now is to make contact with those potential life forms as I find humans intolerant or ignorant to the concept of extraterrestrial life inhospitable. Please do not take this as a joke, there is clear, consistent evidence of extraterritorial contact being covered up by governments around the world. If there is any way I could assist the NUFORC or MUFON team in proving other-worldly existence, please reach out to me! Source of report indicates that the date is approximate. PD

I was sitting on my porch looking into the night sky towards the east. A red light appeared as if it "turned on." It was very large, larger than a star, and about half the size of the moon. It started dim, but began glowing. After hovering in place for a few seconds, it started to move slowly in the sky towards the right and then "turned off." It was bright red in color as if it were glowing. It was difficult to determine the distance, but it appeared to be a mile or so away, but depending on the size, it could be different.

Bright light falling towards the horizon in the Eastern sky. Definitely brighter than any falling star we've ever seen.

Grand Rapids, MI
Strange object in the night sky around 7:30 p.m. here in Grand Rapids on 1.14.17. It looked like a white light that was stationary just above the tree line of our condo on East Paris between Burton and Sparks, the object was very strange as it appeared much brighter and bigger than an airplane headlight. It did not approach and get bigger but rather just kind of hung in the sky. An hour later the object appeared that it had traveled farther away but was relatively in the same part of the sky, (South west direction). The odd thing was that the object now appeared orange and not as bright. We suspect a sighting of Venus. PD

I walked outside to let our dog ((dog's name deleted)) go to the bathroom and there they were just hovering, I'm guessing 2 or 3 miles away from me, bright orange in color. I ran back inside and called for my wife to come see them and grabbed my camera, ran back out and got one shot off, and then whatever it was vanished! Our dog ((dog's name deleted)) was going nuts, barking and then trying to get back into the house.

Greensboro, NC, 04/14/17, 8:55 PM. I went outside to put some scraps out for the neighborhood night creatures that visit. When I got in the middle of my back yard, I noticed what looked like a planet. Bright as Jupiter or Mars. While pondering which it could be, I noticed it was moving. No flashing lights, and it was not in the path I am used to air traffic flying over. Airliners that travel over my area are going on the North to South route at around 40 thousand ft. They are much dimmer and move quicker than this object. Even at that height, the flashing navigation lights are still obvious. This object may have been a satellite but from my memory of viewing Iridium satellites or the ISS they moved much faster. This object was so slow I wasn't sure it was moving at first. It was moving from North West to South East. I first saw it directly overhead. By the time I was sure it really was moving slowly, and not my imagination, I began to be sure this seemed unusual. When it got to about 45 degrees going South East it quickly faded. It had been a very consistent brightness until that point. It had no color or peak of brightness as it passed over. It was like Jupiter or Mars, but moving until it faded over a 5 second period.

Saw a bright moon shaped white object with no visible light trail, descend from eastern sky towards eastern horizon, before going out as if turned off.

With Orion on my left and facing south, it's in the South East sky and within the tree line. I don't know if it's Venus or another celestial body. It seems triangular shaped and a very white, bright light. Just sitting there and not moving other than seeming to turn. But that could be atmospheric interference. I wish I knew more about where things are in the sky. Edit: This was in the South West sky, not SE (Orion was on my left) and after 2 hours, it disappeared. I went out to check on it and it was gone. It wasn't high in the sky. It was at the tops of the trees. I checked it about every 30 minutes. It seemed to just sit there and turn.
