At approximately 2200 hours, I was outside taking my dog to use the bathroom. As I walked outside I heard, what I thought to be an extremely low flying airplane. As I looked up the object was approximately 100 yards above and was flying at approximately 25 mph. It was not rotating, and appeared to be a disc, with windows and a blinking green light.

Standing on my front porch, facing south out over the Mississippi River, I observed the following over Missouri. There was a twinkling/flashing green light, hovering in the distant sky. The light changed to constant red and the object sped at a high rate of speed off to the west. It disappeared behind trees blocking my view. About 20 to 30 seconds after that, there was a faint high-pitched whine and another red lighted object appeared in the same location as the original green light. It sped in from the east, came to an abrupt stop and then sped at a high rate of speed to the east. It then stopped and abruptly reversed direction to the west. Again, the high-pitched whine and disappeared behind the trees. Again, about 20 seconds later, another red light appeared in the same location. It was accompanied by a high-pitched whine and continued from the east and headed west. In total, I observed this very same event five (5) times. All moved at extremely high speed. All produced a high-pitched whine. All zoomed off to the west. This all occurred over Missouri.

Sacramento, CA
I noticed a bright light in the sky and as i focused in on it i could see what looked like something hanging from it that was also brightly lit. I got my binoculars and looked and i could see that it was definitely in the shape of a triangle, but i couldnt figure out what the thing that appeared to be hanging from it was. If i had to describe it, it looked like fire. Without the binoculars it looked almost white, but with them it looked more of an orangeish color . It stayed in the same position and i observed it for over 30 minutes. There was only one. As we watched it, it would slowly disappear then it would reappear. It was in the southern sky from my location, very high in the air. Three of us all saw this together. Sending video.

Duluth, MN
9:15pm Saw a bright light gliding across the sky, much too low to be a satellite, going northeast direction. After viewing an actual satellite go by, another bright light glided by, except this one I noticed traveled below the clouds. I compared their size to a glowfly normally seen from a few feet away. No blinking, constant continuous yellow light (like warm stars) and gliding motion and speed, moving in the same direction. Then another one went by, this one more towards the north, less east, prompting me to come in to see what these could be.

I can’t even express the shock I’m in!!! Tonight, as I sat on the bench outside while my husband was night fishing, I stared up into the beautiful night sky watching the airplanes fly back and forth and dazing into the stars. I watch them almost every night, I basically know the planes patterns . I’ve always admired the sky and wished I could know more! Let me just say I KNOW WHAT I SAW!! I saw what looked to be a flying/gliding star/object! It flew northbound, right into this fast-moving cloud. NOW it could have been the clouds that made it look like the star was moving OR it could have been a satellite or space station. NO! I quickly pulled out my phone and opened my star map (which shows space stations and satellites). It wasn't in our atmosphere! Before I knew it, it was gone. My husband didn't see it. I kept looking and saw another coming from the same direction but going downward then away from us, he didn't see that either! Within 10 minutes I saw 3 more Unidentified flying objects all coming from the Jupiter/Saturn area headed northbound! FINALLY, my husband saw the last one!! I'M NOT CRAZY! There is no way it was an airplane it did not have lights and was way too far out! It was not a shooting star either, there was no trail and it made it to the other side of the sky until it was too far to see and all from the SAME direction? I don't think so!! I could not believe it!! I searched for 10 more minutes and didn't see anymore! So, as I was going to go inside, I looked once more! I see ANOTHER UFO, but this time coming from where they disappeared, traveling straight towards Jupiter!!! We followed it until Jupiter’s massive light engulfed it. HOW CRAZY!!!! There was no way I was going inside after that!! There had to be at least 4 more coming back!! So, another 5 minutes go by and Mauricio was beginning to walk inside, and I screamed because I saw It!!! He caught sight if it and I ran to avoid losing it behind the palm tree and as I did so, it completely disappeared in its track DIRECTLY TOWARDS JUPITER!!!!! No way, no how that that was a coincidence!!! Something is going on and/or something is about to happen! I'm still in awe!!

Temple, GA
Bright stationary red light above home. Light would stay on approximately 10 seconds then completely go out for around 3 seconds then re appear. There was no rhythm to the light. Sometimes it would stay on longer over a minute then go out. It flickered on and off very fast a few times. After about 10 mins it started to move very slow behind the trees and we could still see it behind the trees but then eventually disappeared as the light went out and never come back on. Through this whole sighting there was never any other blinking lights on or around this bright red light to indicate it was an airplane, drone, helicopter or blimp. There was no sound coming from this object.

It was a clear blue sky in the middle of the afternoon. I was outside smoking a cigarette. I looked up and noticed a plane flying high in the sky. The plane crossed the path of what looked like the brightest star I have ever seen. But it was the middle of the day. I called my neighbor over to look. He also thought it was strange. He grabbed his binoculars and several of us looked at the object with binoculars. We all came to the same conclusion that this was some sort of saucer like craft. The sun was shining off of it brightly but you could clearly see it had shapes and edges and something protruding from its bottom. There is no doubt about it that it was a ship of some sort. Whether it was alien I do not know. We watched it for hours waiting for it to disappear but eventually we gave up. We thought we could see it moving on it’s own slightly because it did change locations in the sky over time but it was not drifting like a ballon would. It had its own cont! rol and was definitely in our atmosphere. I did take pictures and video but without some enhancement it looks like a star to the naked eye. I know everyone I tell thinks it’s just a satellite but It did not move or look like any satellite I have ever seen. I was surprised and frustrated at how long it was visible.

Naples, FL
Driving west when spotted large white rectangle traveling from south headed at a steady pace toward the north. Tried to figure out what it was but saw no plane that might be pulling it across the sky plus it seemed too large to be a banner. Grabbed my phone to try and get a picture but power lines got in the picture and by the time I got past them, the object had travelled out of my view.

My brother and I were outside and we looked up above where I live to see 4 lights going in and out in a line forming a circle one by one. It last 15 seconds but it was not a plane flares nothing. We both seen it and directly after for a good 10 minutes we heard what sounded like fighter jets.

Dixon, CA
This is 2nd sighting of same craft traveling the same path in 1 week. It moved over us like an airplane but the lights were flashing out of sequence compared the normal plane we see from Travis etc. Very brite red and green flashes with intermittent spot light flash pointed downward. It traveled off into the horizon much like the speed of a low aircraft ( no moise) for about 2 or 3 minutes then from quite a distance it shot back to basicly rite over us in about 2 seconds warp speed it appeared.it turned brite red at hi speed. This was real upclose and obvious. All lights went out and I saw it was a grey triangle. No doubt.

Newport, OR
My friend and I were walking through the campground at Beverly Beach State Park when I looked up through the leafy canopy to see a circular orange shape that was not a star or planet. It seemed to bounce and then divide while changing color to a grayish blue and back to orange. It resembled descriptions of orb encounters. There may have been more orbs, but it was difficult to say for certain because of the trees. We watched for at least 15 minutes. We have both seen strange occurrences like this in the past.

Centralia, WA
To be honest, I don't believe it was an "Alien" type of UFO, just a UFO in the broadest sense. It is quite bright (2x brightness of Jupiter). The speed was very slow. Not a satellite, or plane/helicopter. Path was South to North, passing roughly 3 degrees over Moon. Possible unknown small comet, or asteroid? No visible "Tail" Lost sight after passing trees and buildings.

Walked out and in the middle of the day my wife and I saw a black line like object low in the sky and very clear to see. It was silent. When we around a tree and I said aloud "I see it Lord", and it was gone. She was also reaching for her camera, it seemmed like it knew we saw it and were going to take a picture.

Spokane, WA
Over the last couple of nights I noticed again a number of large lights stationary in different sections of the sky over the north side and 7 mile, and 9 mile area of Spokane. Over the last three nights they have moved and then look stationary for the most part. To me it looks like a drone but fiully lit up very bright. I think they rotate but with my binoculars and spotting scope I can't get close enough to make a skilled judgment? last year I witnessed something similar over my area, little Spokane River down river for the Spokane country club about 2 miles. Last year though they were moving all over and it looked as if they were testing large drones at night? It also looked as if there is a docking station the other small drones come to. That was last year, those year the ones I'm seeing tonight seem to be moving really slow to the right but it takes hours. The lights are not high enough to be stars, not moving enough to be anything falling out of the sky, and they are definitely not flying around with any sort of speed. I looked up drones and they said that the police are using drones for the last couple of years to locate missing people and to solve crimes. These look like things that are simply being placed in the air each night and are watching/looking/monitoring something? I would just like to know what the hell they are? In addition, I'm almost positive there are smaller ones up higher or the same kind just higher than the ones below right out in front of my place at a lower elevation. If someone knows please respond.

Diamond shaped craft, lighted red center, orange lights on the outside edge with a white haze. Seen in the SE about a mile away and jumped right above us in a matter of seconds. Hung over our heads for about a minute and then disappeared like it went straight into the sky.

Quitman, GA
My husband and I were watching the stars last night on August 15th at around 11:35 pm EST when my husband noticed one of the stars moving. It obviously wasn't a star and it was far up in the sky maybe a few more miles above the atmosphere, it was heading north then disappeared. Another one towards the West started moving and again disappeared. At first I said it was a satellite but my husband said that they would not be going at such a pace as we were seeing them go by. So I checked the satellite radar and it said there was only one in Adel ga but we live in quitman ga. But it didnt stop there we saw three more lights flying across the sky all heading in different directions. They werent comets or asteroids because if that were to be the case they would leave a faint quick trail when burning up in the atmosphere. But the lights were just passing by no flickers or trail just moving before quickly vanishing. Also mentioning the fact that the lights were moving! as if being directed towards certain directions and while this happened flashes of light occurred with no signs of clouds anywhere it was clear but the flashes came from the sky itself which we found strange.

Richfield, OH
While stargazing in a place without much light pollution, I focused on a star directly centered in the cross section of a cross-shaped constellation, approximately halfway up the sky and almost directly southward but slightly to the east. This star had stayed directly where the two lines of this "cross" constellation crossed for at least 20 minutes, not moving. It suddenly moved downward and to the left of the cross section point where it was previously, then slowly hovered above and below the horizontal cross line before settling just above the line and slightly to the left of the vertical cross line. It then did not move for at least a half hour, at which point we left. I know that its movement wasn't just my eyes playing tricks because I used the horizontal and vertical cross lines as a frame of reference. My friend was looking at a different star close by and said they saw it move at the same moments I saw my star moving, but at the time I thought they were referring to my star. Afterwards my friend said they think the movement they saw was just their eyes playing tricks, which along with the confusion about us looking at different stars has made me doubt my own sighting. However, I know that I saw it move especially because I kept comparing its position with the stable "cross" constellation.
