Beam of vertical bright white light fell from the night sky it appeared to be about 10 feet wide and it came down the excact same width for about a mile when it got down to maybe 3 miles to the ground it flashed and made a egg shape at the bottom of the perfect beam light. And went out to maybe 30 feet out the egg shape closed in on its self and then the beam of light disappear form the bottom up.

After lunch, I stopped to admire the clouds before heading into my office. That's when I observed a small, silvery sphere floating below a cloud to the northeast. This sphere rose into the cloud and I momentary lost sight of it but I'm a few seconds it dropped back out of the cloud toward a larger cloud below it. The sphere then skirted along the edge of this cloud for a bit before dropping into that cloud and disapppearing from view. During the duration of this sighting 2 commercial airliners also traversed this general area of the sky.

While trimming a tree in yard, witness observed object to appear directly overhead. He only observed the bottom of the object. It was a disc and it had visible structures of concentric rings and spokes coming from the center. The rings and spokes formed segments that were colored gold, silver, and a luminous yellow-like quality that he found especially difficult to describe. It appeared below the clouds and appeared to be quite large, though he reportedly had no visual reference with which to compare it. It appeared suddenly, made no sound, made no movements, and disappeared just as suddenly after about 5 seconds. For being so anomalous, his reaction to seeing the object was one of brief puzzlement. He felt no fear or shock and simply returned to his chore. He thought about it as he worked and considered it a hallucination of some sort. However, he had never hallucinated before and the object had such a quality of being "present" that he found it ! hard to categorize it as a hallucination and said nothing of it to anyone and simply thought about it for some time before deciding to make the report.

I had a clear view of a firework show that was a distance away. I noticed a solid red light sitting still above the mountain to the left of the fireworks. Living in an area surrounded by mountains, I just assumed the red light was an airplane signal tower and thought nothing of it. As soon as the fireworks ended the red light started travelling in a straight line to the right at a pretty fast speed. Another firework then went off and without stopping or slowing down, the red light changed directions and moved to the left. The light then slowly changed to a bright green then back to red before disappearing. It seemed to be watching the firework show.

At first I didn't see anything, and they sounded directly over head, but then a second later I saw them as they were about to exit my field of view. By the time I saw them it was too late to grab my cell phone. But I think they were too high anyway for a cell phone camera to see them clearly. They were traveling ea! stward, at the same speed, in tight formation. All three were different colors and different in shape to the others within their formation. They were at least as high as any commercial airliner. Higher than the cloud layer and flying fast. I'm eager to find out if someone else seen this formation and possibly knows for sure what they were or if they were of some other origin. I mean, I don't ever hear the jets that are leaving the chemtrails, but I sure heard these. And they were easily as high as that. They weren't planes. I don't know what they were but I sure know what they weren't, and they weren't planes, or meteors. They were under intelligent control flying in a tight triangular formation towards the east.

Sitting in the bedroom my boyfriend had a "weird" feeling. A light came across ceiling twice and he grabbed a camera. He started taking pics in corner of side where I sleep and caught these images. How do I upload the pictures? No photos received, as of the date of this writing. PD

Same as last nite only it was moving around. I drove to Greenville just to see what it would do and where it was in the sky. It was hovering towards north west sky Jamestown, Ohio, area. Hovered for almost two hours from 8pm to 10:45 pm. Tomorrow Im going to see if it shows up again this time I'm watching to see where it appears.

I returned outside to see two lights at approximately the same altitude headed northward, but in different directions. These objects were high enough to be satellites, but were visible with my eyes only. I didn't think my phone camera would pick them up in video, so I didn't bother. I'll go back out and see if I can see anything else. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) I have no idea why that date was selected. Sorry. This happened last night (4/30/18) at 9:10pm to around 9:13pm. The only thing I can guess is that I mistakenly and in a hurry to get back outside, looked at the time and reported that as the date. I'm a very skeptical thinker and was hoping to see one change direction, but they both seemed to go in a straight line. They were both in the area of the big dipper before I could no longer see them past the tree line at around 9:14 Eastern time. ((END ADDENDUM))

Was watching The voice on TV I heard a loud boom. Went out side looking west at about 9:30 was a big bright light it stayed in the same spot for about an hour changing colors then it took an hour and a half for it to disappear. I filmed it and zoomed in on it for a picture it disappeared. Light Went out. Dogs barking for no reason. We suspect a sighting of the planet, Venus, in the western sky. PD

Saw a bright, blinking light that I figured was Sirius, since it was in the same direction that the star would be. Glanced away, and it dimmed. Figured it was from the clouds. It came back in full brightness, dimmed again and moved towards the northeast. The light stopped blinking and went to a white light, went up a bit then disappeared. Another bright light appeared to the bottom left of the first light. It flew up, then dimmed out. Weather was partly cloudy and humid.

Manheim, PA
Witness was traveling on 81s towards Harrisburg,PA, and was on what the locals call Levelle Mountain. Suddenly an object appeared over the interstate and appeared to hover stationary for about 20 seconds and quickly went into the trees on the right at a high rate of speed. Object appeared quite large. At first the observer thought it was some type of drone but it moved too fast. Reportedly looked like a lunar lander in his opinion. Witness was shocked by what was seen and got emotional. Driving past the spot where the object would be nothing was found.

The weather was mostly sunny, few clouds in the clear blue sky. A yellow colour completely silent object, in the shape of a bird or conventional monoplane. Rough guess, but flew as high as a propeller plane. Flew in a straight line for maybe 12 seconds, then began to waver side to side. It then began to spiral downwards and disappeared into the clear blue sky.

Witness observed a bright red object in the sky due west of his location just above tree line but at a distance. Object remained in fixed stable position for approximately 5 seconds then abruptly shot away to the south/southwest at a speed that is indescribable. Four others with him witnessed the event. Object made no noise. Observer has been in the aviation sector for 40 years and has never seen an object move at the speed that was witnessed.

Grove City, PA
We were stargazing and we suddenly saw a shadowy and seemingly transparent triangular/boomerang shaped object, with regularly spaced white patches. It moved steadily across the sky from SE to NE and made no noise. Before we had gotten over the surprise, another one, exactly the same and going the same direction appeared and moved across the sky just like the first. We have never seen anything like it and have no clue what it could have been. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

My husband and I were on our deck talking, listening to music and looking at the stars. Directly off our deck in the direction of the tree line on the SE horizon, I noticed an object, and told my husband “come look at this.” The object wasn't moving like a plane or helicopter, as it kept going up down left right very fast. It had 4 round areas that were lit up and rotating (the individual circles were not rotating but the entire object) and a flashing light in the middle. It went out of sight for about 30 seconds then appeared again but this time it went way up in the sky then came above our heads. It had 4 circles but didn't rotate, the circles were blue with pink around it, it made no noise and we didn't noticed any flashing light in the middle. It hovered there for about 7-10 seconds. My iphone was on the table but by the time I grabbed it, turned it on and pressed the camera it had moved away from our house back towards the SE horizon (that's when i was able to take 2 pictures and 3 videos (2 seconds, 14 seconds and 1:22 minutes) I had the graph on the video and was trying to keep the object inside the middle box. I did move a few times when i was trying to look up at it towards the end. We were not afraid in the least, as you can hear from the video that my husband was yelling at it to come back. We waited for about 45 minutes but it never did.

Witnessed a bright red-orange light in the sky to the north, heading east, from the back yard. It was traveling linearly; horizontally to the east at a uniform speed. Showed my wife before it blinked once and finally disappeared. Another appeared. And then a sequence of 4, like the letter C, came. Then a sequence of 3. My wife watched and shot footage in front of the house. One or two more single orbs flew by. They flickered like fires and would blink in an out at what seemed like the end of their path, so they disappeared, but not behind trees or buildings. They produced no sound. It did not seem like a full ship, to me, but a series of lights in the sky on the same trajectory. I say this because the lights, from my vantage point, seemed random. Not like the Phoenix Lights, which sound similar. (MUFON site has good photos)
