Great falls, MT
I was standing on my porch at around 10:58 pm, and I was trying to see a star because it was flashing. I assumed that it was either a star or a satellite, so I stepped off of my porch to record it better. As I was recording, I could see something slowly hover over my house, and turned my camera to face it. It was slowly moving, but faster than a drone and higher than a drone. As I was filming, it moved slowly and it looked like there was a top and bottom light flashing red every second. There was only one, and I was the only one out there. It wasn’t moving very fast and i could only see it moving and the lights on it. The lights looked like a triangle, but those were only the yellow lights. It only moved for a few more minutes until it stopped right next to the star that I had been recording minutes prior. The night before this, I heard a large whirring sound that sounded like heavy machinery in the sky, but it lasted for about 6 minutes. Each time I have recorded, it seems like there has been a filter over my camera, but it’s never like that normally. Once it had stopped, I could no longer film it and then I had also started to hear thumps near my house or heavy machinery starting. I was not able to capture anymore. The last image uploaded is circled, which is where the UFO stopped when i decided to stop recording. The other one that isn’t circled is the star I was trying to record while it was flashing.

Very short period of time but looking out over the bluff of Magnolia (suburb of seattle close to discovery park) I saw what I thought was a Satellite moved quickly in random patterns. Stopping and then Satellite moving again in random patterns. This was not a plane, looked more like a star. No shape, just a bright light that had random movement. Sometimes stationary.

Was star gazing and noticed a few stars moving, wasn’t sure if it was a plane then it changed direction, then slowly moved in a zig zag fish like pattern. Never seen a star moving and definitely never seen an object change direction at that height. You couldn’t tell the difference from the moving light and a star besides the movement

Fredericksburg, TX
There were white lights at a low altitude in the sky ahead of us when we were traveling in our car about 50 mph ten miles out of Fredericksburg,Tx. There was lightening and light rain from a thunderstorm we were exiting. It was very dark with only flashes of lightening. We thought it could be a plane trying to follow the road because of the weather but it was almost stationary as we approached it. For a very short time I saw four red lights beaming down below it. There were two red lights each in two straight lines that made it appear like they were lights on legs of a tower. But those lights disappeared. There is no tower in that area. I rolled down the window as we turned onto a side road so I could listen for a motor sound thinking it might be a helicopter. There was no engine noise or sound of any kind. We stopped the car and got out on the road. I took a video on my camera as it slowly moved away from us toward the east across a pasture. I could not make out the shape of the craft in the dark. I could only see three large pulsating white lights going from right to left. I am 74 years old and have never been this close to something I couldn’t identify.

Hoover, AL
as my girlfriend and I were walking up the stairs to her car in the parking lot we saw a diamond shaped object hovering a few hundred feet with a light at each of the four points and an additional light in the center of the object being the total visible amount of lights to 5, this object quickly ascended to at least a thousand feet in the air and slowly took off out of view in about 5-10 seconds. This object had no visible means of propulsion and made no noise which I found very interesting after initially thinking of it as a drone, I have no idea what this was but I am ver certain it was no plane flying into Birmingham airport and it certainly was no helicopter or drone considering how large it was. The video below was taken on my girlfriends iPhone in what little time she had to react

San Diego, CA
When I opened my back den window to let cooler air in, I saw a perfect horizontal row of 8 bright light/lime green lights to the NW. It was not moving across the sky but was stationary and blinking on/off over and over again in short, regular intervals, the entire row of lights at the exact same time. It definitely gave me the impression that it was one object as it would blink off and quickly return all together. There was no sound. I ran to get my binoculars, returning quickly, but could not see it any more. Minutes later I went to look again, and saw it heading slowly farther N and slightly NE. For more than an hour, every time I checked to see if it was still there, I could see it very slowly moving N, getting smaller as it moved away from where it was when I first saw it. It did not blink on/off as it began to travel N. The only other thing I noticed was that there were soon quite a number of helicopters in the area as though searching for something in a very wide circle. It is usual to spot one police helicopter at times, but never 6+. I had never seen anything like it before.

It hovered briefly, moving slowly, then got brighter as it blasted forward and disappeared. I was leaving Cabelas at the time, walking in the parking lot towards my car. I was looking at the sky because it was filled with brilliant colors of pink, orange and purple to the west and more of an ominous blue and green above me and toward the east.

On 8/24 at 8:45pm facing South towards Sonoran Desert National Monument, my husband and I saw 3 "fireball" looking orbs hovering over a distant hillside towards the Sonoran Desert National Monument. They suspended/hovered in the air for about 5 minutes before "extinguishing" but not dropping, and moving to another location east (maybe a couple of miles?) and reappeared. These eventually "went out" and we did not see them again that night. On 8/25 at 9:45pm, again facing South towards the Sonoran Desert National Monument, 3 lights appeared while my husband and I were out stargazing, hoping to see the lights again that we'd seen the night prior. They maintained their location in the sky, just like the night before, and were the same glowing amber lights/orbs. They again disappeared, and reappeared SSW towards Yuma, this time seemingly further away. This lasted roughly 10-15 minutes before we did not see anything again. Then, last night on 8/31 at 7:20pm, I was in my backyard facing North (completely opposite direction of past 2 sightings) towards South Mountain/Ak Chin Reservation, when I saw 3 glowing amber lights, just above the horizon line. I have included photos and videos of what I witnessed last night. I was terrified upon first sighting, as it looked almost as if they were coming towards me? The lights seemed to grow brighter and brighter, and I had a weird feeling. This time my husband was not home, so I ran inside and called him, and viewed from my bedroom window that faces north. I could still see the lights and they were hovering over the horizon line facing North, 3 lights in a horizontal row. About 7:34pm, the lights changed into a triangle formation, and then over about 2 minutes, they changed to a diagonal formation. Eventually, one dimmed (did not extinguish because I could still see it) and moved west of the original location. The other two maintained their brightness. After about 20 minutes they dimmed. At 8:20pm, all 3 bright lights were visible again in the same area, and again moved from a triangle formation, to a diagonal, as seen in the still photos from the 3 minute video I took.

Ardmore, OK
I was on the front porch smoking a cigarette and saw it in the sky. At first I thought it was a helicopter coming to the hospital because I could see red and blue lights. Then I realized that it wasn't moving so I came in the house called my husband out to come look at it and grabbed my phone to record it. It was jerking around and then it poofed into another shape and color. Husband said it may be a drone but I don't think it was. I've never seen anything like it before and it was so high up. I don't know what it was.

Naperville, IL
When I left out for work, at 3:30a, I noticed how clear the stars were. I’m not used to seeing stars so clearly since I lived in the city most of my life and light pollution doesn’t allow for it. I grabbed my cell phone to get a picture of the dipper. As soon as I was about to take a picture, I noticed that something up there was moving! And it was moving fast! At first I thought that it was a plane. Lights were blinking, as seen in the video but it was moving too fast to be a plane. L; and it seemed too high up to be one. Then it disappeared! Maybe I’m wrong but I could be right. Please advise.

Flight from Charlotte to Wilmington NC, NC
While filming the lights on a night time flight I noticed my phone was picking up flashing not visible to the eye (IR) three flashes that disappeared and reappeared then I managed to get a photo of a small object in the clouds. the lights were not from a plane I thought maybe IR strobes on satellites but then I saw a round disc-ish shaped object in the cloud that had the same purple light around it.

One star trailed to the right and disappeared into light congestion. Then in the middle of the last song three stars go racing at the speed of light to the left one chasing two, when they all got to above the mountain I saw one crash into another and both hit the last one and disappeared over the mountain into light congestion, silent no noise - the distance of stars I was DD for my father at this concert and may have caught one on footage They may have been disturbed by the concert, definitely not related, there was a jet following shortly before and after which promoted me to look up. It was night and you could see other stars, but the light pollution made it difficult to capture- if it was pitch black you could have seen the impossible speed these stars were going at. It literally looked like a star battle in the sky. A vehicle stopped on the freeway for a lengthy period of time shortly after the “possible crash” could have happened

Daughter took an underexposed pictures and inadvertently captured the object. Very unexpected, but simple siting... felt important enough to report.

I was the passenger. We were traveling down fm 1794 at about 55 mph. First time on road. Notice some stobing light in the distance. At first I thought it was a warning light to a sharp curve or something like that. All of the sudden it was directly in front of us about a guarter of a mile about 40 feet off the ground and was getting closer but never to close to feel threatened. Maybe 200 yards and traveled at the same rate of speed that we were moving for about 30 seconds. Then it moved away down the road ahead of us and faded away . The object was flat. Size was maybe 4ft wide and 8 ft tall. Similar to a lighted panel facing toward us with several lights flashing.
