I saw what looked like a star but it would move to the right then stop. It would go up and stop. It would go down stop. It would zig zag. I got some binoculars and looked at it it had red, blue, green blinking lights. It did this for over a hour. We had a SpaceX rocket launch at 1.17 am.

My fiancé and I were talking smoking a cigarette, out of no where the sky above and right behind us lit up kinda how lightening does but this was not lightening at all. We saw some type of bright white/blueish light either go up or down it was hard to tell and then just took off into the night sky faster then you can blink and it was gone. It also made a noise when the beam came down that sounded similar to something you would here in Star Wars when they take off with hyperspeed. I still have chills it was an amazing experience and also very unexpected. My fiancé and I both tried to debunk what we had just witness and he is not a believer in aliens or ufo but he is not because what we saw was no natural nor created on this world it just can’t be. This is a real and true statement. I wish I could find out if anyone else heard or seen what we saw in our area but most people are afraid to talk about things like this because of the fear of being judged or called a liar unfortunately

Saw a slow moving white glowing orb to the west of the front of my house, it got brighter and yellow/orange as it moved closer. I stepped outside onto my front lawn in awe thinking I was witnessing a shooting star or meteoroid and eventually it appeared as three bright light with many other smaller lights on a large low flying triangular craft that went over our house and jetted off quicker than I could get anyone in the houses attention to come see. We went out to the backyard to look and saw no sign.

Saw orangeish yellow light (not incredibly bright, but noticeable) moved from the west to east- about 2 Minutes later I saw another light, same color and brightness, go in the same direction. It seemed lower than what an airplane flies at. Then a few minutes later, I saw the 3rd light with same color and brightness move from the north to southwest. Lights did not disappear or blink from what I could tell. Steady light. It was slower than a shooting star, where I could walk on my deck and follow it. It was fast but not incredibly fast.

3 orange circular objects came low over the city. First 1 went upward pulsing, then changed shape and color to white, looking flatish, slightly curved, then picked up speed quickly. The other two followed doing the same, forming a triangle. They spend off quickly. I have mul pile pictures fairly clear

Tehachapi, CA
At first, i thought the object was approaching, but as it moved SE, it seemed to take a path over the mountains south of Tehachapi. I could not determine the shape of the object, but as it turned toward the mountains, the orange light elongated as if a beam, and then seemed to reflect or emanate off the length of the object. I thought it might be a blimp, but my friend, who observed it alongside of me, thought that whatever it was emitted an orange-colored exhaust cloud ejected from the rear. I don't believe I ever saw a blimp over this area. As the object continued in the same direction, the light faded, becoming a faint point of light like an airplane, and then disappeared from view.

I don't know what details to put here but I was just looking out my window on my bed and I saw four green dots by the way my window was open and there was no screen and there's four green dots in a plus shape moving around and then I saw them zoom off at probably like 200 mph which was too fast to be a drone.

Was grilling on porch of the cabin we were staying in when something caught my attention flying overhead with no sound! Called my wife to come look at the object and she commented that there was no sound, wings or lights. I snapped a picture of the object and never heard any noise, Conn trail or source of propulsion. The object was cylindrical in shape about the length of a Jumbo jet. An airplane followed in the same trajectory North to South a few minutes later and I could definitely hear the engine of the small plane and not sure what I had witnessed.

Object appeared in a blink of an eye and traveled for about 20 seconds horizontal to the ground at a slower speed but then shot off at a high rate of speed that is faster than any known aircraft that I know of. The sky was clear, the object was white in color but I also saw a brief moment of metallic color as well. Object had a fuzzy area around it's edge. The object was like an egg shape and then stretched out flat like. There were no flashing lights seen on the object. It then became the shape of an egg again and disappeared. Altitude was possibly between 25 to 40 thousand feet. There was no contrail to indicate it as a conventional aircraft. Within the time of my observation, the object went from large to small then it was gone. There were no obstructions within the line of sight of the object. No clouds, trees or mountains. Although meteor showers happening during this time period, I don't think it was a meteor because it had no trail behind it and it slowed down at one point in time during my observation.

I thought it was a jumbo jet crashing. Broke into several pieces that maintained fire. Looked to go to the ground. Maybe Overland Park, KS?

Me and a passenger were driving thru Aurora Utah on State Route 24 when I noticed a round orange basketball sized ball of light bouncing above the tops of the trees. I looked at what it was doing and at first I thought it was a mining equipment surveying the land. Then I looked at it again and I thought, that is a UFO. That orange light kept bouncing around thru the trees for a long time. It didn’t bother us or try to follow us. The orange ball split into 2 balls of light and they both kept to the north of us the whole way. I wasn’t afraid of it so I kept driving. We drove for about another 15 minutes when I noticed another craft following us. This craft was diamond shaped with four really bright diamond shaped white lights on it. I tried to get away from it and that craft chased us thru State Route 24 for about an hour and then it disappeared. About another 2 hours passed and I noticed another craft to the south this one was twinkling like a star but its movement was faster than an airplane it zipped around in the sky and then flew off to the east. When we started reaching the summit of that canyon above the tree line to the north west I saw a huge red UFO, the whole thing was round and it looked to be a flaming red hot round circle. We made it to Blanding Utah and we did not see any more other craft objects after we reached our destination. We did not take any great pictures of these objects worth sending to you but I do want to file a report about our experience driving thru Aurora Utah and Hanksville Utah on State Route 24.

Whiteland, IN
As I entered my truck I looked up and saw what I thought was a commercial airliner. My first thought was, "Wow they're flying really low! If someone wanted to, they could shoot that." The object was in plain view, about the height of a single engine plane in my experience (Crop duster) It was a triangle shape, at the point was one light, and on the corners were two lights on either side. The lights were steady and not flashing. The craft was silent. At watching it fly over for a few seconds my heart sank as I realized how strange it was. No flashing lights, no lights on the tail, heck no tail! It quickly flew over, but not any faster than a standard aircraft. The sighting lasted about 30 seconds before I lost sight of it. Come to think of it, it disappeared rather quickly. Like completely gone from vision. On the drive home I saw several aircraft, all had flashing lights and lights on the tail of the aircraft.

I tried uploading the video to the website but it said the video exceeds the file size limit. I can upload some snapshots of the video that I was able to brighten and enhance. If there is another way to submit the video I will. The massive object hovered in the clouds over the naval station for approximately ten minutes emitting rapidly fluctuating neon colored patterns. Two military helicopters were circling underneath it and occasionally a searchlight was shown on it from either one of the helicopters or the military base. I captured a 6 minute video of it, and with the brightness and resolution turned up some of the colors and patterns are visible. In the video you see small blinking lights below the object near the horizon, those were the blinking lights of the helicopters circling beneath this thing. It appeared to be larger than a football field. At first the lights were purple and flashed several times before turning a dark neon blue, then a wide range of colors and patterns appear throughout the video. It was incomprehensible and beautiful.

While letting my dog outside before bed, I had a very clear view of the stars over the mountains. A bright white star/ meteor like object moved across the sky from south to north. In the eastern sky. This object was moving so much faster than a satellite that there is absolutely no comparison. The object then began to slow down while in the center of my sky view. It then turned from bright white to bright yellow and changed direction to easterly. I could not sense any altitude change from my observation point. After slowing and changing direction it moved eastward for about 4 seconds, then was no longer visible. This is the third object like this I have seen in our crystal clear vermont night skies in three years the other two came from a westerly direction then slowed and turned northward. The air was absolutely still and no sound was ever noticed. I am a professional pilot with many years of viewing aircraft and satellites in the skies. These were something different.

I saw 4 to 5 large red lights in the formation of a Diamond or square outline. The lights slowing glided into a triangular alignment & seemed to slowly tilt before no longer being visible. There was a small aircraft that shortly came through the same route.

Myrtle Beach, SC
My brother and I (along with his wife and 3 kids) were on the boardwalk in Myrtle Beach when we both saw 4 red lights in a horizontal line over the Atlantic Ocean. It was pitch black over the water, they were high above the horizon. They appeared to be either very small or very far out. They were all lit up, then went out, one by one in a line. We didn’t see them again. We were the only two who saw it and didn’t realize we were both seeing it at the same time until my brother said something. Unfortunately it happened too quickly to get a photo or video. It all happened within a few seconds.

The UFO seems to be moving pretty darn fast. Only two frames of it were captured but its clearly a disk shape. [NUFORC annotation: Bird - Probable]

I used my cell so it's not great video. It was there for an hour. I went inside about 20 minutes later I went back out and it was gone. Didn't seem to be a commercial plane, they pass over my house everyday so I know the difference. Maybe a drone but it was 12:13 am so I don't why someone would be flying one that late.
