Concordville, PA
I was leaving work when I looked up in the sky and saw a round silver object and a cigar silver shaped object up in the sky. The round object was to the left of the cigar shaped object. They both just stood there, silent, hovering. I watched as a couple of airplanes flew by in the distance above and below these objects. I pulled out my camera and the circle object disappeared. I put my camera down and the circle object reappeared to the right of the cigar. I managed to film a little bit of it on my cellphone. The round object would disappear, then the cigar shaped object disappeared. I put my camera down and they reappeared. It lasted for about a half hour before both disappeared. I did a search on the internet to see if anyone else saw what I saw and found an old report almost exactly a year ago in the same city of a sighting in Concordville with a round and a cigar shaped object. I am a paralegal and this is the third sighting that I've reported to Nuforc. I do not know what it is, but I am curious and fascinated and just want to know what it is! I've ruled out airplane because I saw a couple fly by. I've ruled out drone because the hovering crafts did not look like them and no sound and they disappeared to the naked eye and reappeared. Amazing!

Saraland/Mobile, AL
Today, on my way home around 4:25 pm, I noticed it again, within 2 miles of the first location. It looked exactly as it did the day 3 weeks before, with the the sun reflecting brightly on its top side. The material looked like a brushed nickel finish . I pulled over immediately to take a picture but it disappeared again. I will continue to watch for it. I am curious if anyone else has been seeing them in this area.

Harrisonburg, VA
As I was driving to work I noticed a very short contrail plummeting toward the ground. About 5 minutes go by, and 3 aircraft coming from NE, N, and NW start closing in on the object. As soon as the aircraft coming in from NE drew near, the contrail changed direction and started heading South. After 10 more minutes all three aircraft were closing in on the contrail, but that was all I got to see before my exit.

Pampa, TX
Witnessed while traveling south on HWY 70 near I-40 outside of Pampa, TX. In the sky was a tear drop shaped object that appeared to be hovering or slowly traveling towards earth. I watched it for a few minutes to witness any changes or try to form a logical explanation to what it could be. While watching the tear drop shape, a long bright light appeared. It was moving at what appeared to be “normal airplane” speed, until it suddenly increased speed and went straight through the tear drop shape. Meanwhile, the teardrop shape was forming more of an orb shape and fading into the sky. After speeding through the teardrop shape, the long white line slowed to a near complete stop or hover. While trying to get my camera out, the teardrop shape completely disappeared and the much larger white line remained. I was unable to get great shots of it, because of the positioning of the sun, but I did get a photo of the white line while it was hovering. We pulled over to watch most of this unfold and it was a crazy experience to witness to say the least. Additionally, we noticed increased airplane activity following this incident and the “chem trails” (or whatever you want to call them) behind these traditional airplanes/jets were entirely different in appearance from the teardrop & white line.

Eagan, MN
In car at 9:30am and close to where highways 494 and 35E intersect, there was a oval light, looked like the shape of a lamp post light, that was moving around up, down diagonally, in a small area. Then it stopped and stood still until I couldn't see it getting on my exit. It was a pretty sunny, partly cloudy day and the object was not obstructed by clouds. The area frequently has air planes but it is close to a national airport so they are pretty close to the ground and would not be mistaken for a light like this.

It was a triangular shape aircraft and had one bright light and flashing lights on both sides like an airplane but it was moving slowly or not at all.

Austin, TX
I was driving into Austin it was still dark. Noticed the Big Dipper. About 20 minutes later I noticed a plane at a high speed underneath. The sun came up I noticed it was a plane with a chemical trail behind it. To the right I seen a bright orb. It disappeared quickly after two minutes max. I noticed this dark cloud with a bright light from the top of the cloud and a bunch of planes coming out of it from the top right. They too were producing a trail. I noticed one plane coming out the bottom left as well. Then a smaller orb close to were the plane was. The orb disappeared fairly quickly. The other orb was faint and didn’t stay long. I also noticed a bomber plane while I was driving toward Camp Mabry disappear not cut through a cloud just not visual.

Dallas, TX
Work in the Irving area, 4th floor, right at dawn, was watching the sun rise and formation of 3 to 4 craft we’re moving fast and low towards DFW airport. Once they were out of sight, they briefly re-appeared performing large circles flying very fast. Went for camera but they did not reappear.

Corpus Christi, TX
Coming home from work, looking toward the bay and noticed a 45 degree angle perfect line of 20 or so rainbow spectrum lights (brilliantly beautiful!) that were quickly changing color and going from dull to bright and fading away leaving a grayish remnant silouette in its place when the lights faded into the dark sky. This lasted 1-2 minutes, didnt have phone ready to capture and i didnt want to look away. I really hope others hadbseen it as well, it was an awesome sight!

Dallas, TX
Bright snake like object above Dallas. Sighted from SMU in the south sky about 30 deg above horizon. Bright series of lines connecting to form a snake like object. Some flex and movement between joints. Sighting was for about 30 seconds and was gone.

Dracut, MA
Two lights (from ground 6-7 inches apart), making me assume object was large and low. Could only see the lights not the object. Light at rear was brighter than light in front. Both moving in synch as on one object. Moved slowly and silently across sky from West to east overhead over several minutes. In distance was plane with three lights, one red, appearing very tiny (centremeter in size from ground view) travelled north, but could definitely tell and hear that, that was a plane. I have no idea what first object was.

I was working in my home office when I saw a multicolored bright light out my window, when i looked at the light it was maybe 300 yards away but as i looked at it it got brighter and then it all of a sudden stopped i looked at the time on my watch, it was 7:18 and my top of my hand had dots arranged in a perfect circle with one in the middle on it. but i don't remember it being there.

While looking at Star Sirris I noticed faint red lights in a V shape moving below Sirris 260 degrees west moving north. The event only lasted 6 seconds. There appeared to be more lights on the outer side, there were only red lights, no flashing lights, no sound. It just vanished.

New Bern, NC
At approximately 1630 EST a pilot reported to Air Traffic Control a possible derelict weather balloon just off the coast of North Carolina near Morehead City at or near 22,000 feet moving from west to east. Appropriate reporting procedures ensued and reports continued sporadically for the next couple of hours before they temporarily ceased. At approximately 2100 EST another pilot reported 10 miles north west of New Bern, NC, at around 9,000 feet reported a static light with contrails around it and could not confirm that it was a balloon or anything similar of that nature.

Seemingly stationary in southern sky, approximately 20-30 degrees above horizon. Steady blinking green blue white. Angle of view from North Berwick would position it over Ogunquit or Cape Neddick, Maine.

I was talking to another Security Guard from a different company about the astronomical objects in the sky. I work Property Security, he works Event Security. I am an Amatuer Astronomer since the 1990's. We were talking about the night sky and his phone app when I noticed something moving in the sky. I could not tell what it was, in fact I could not see what it was... BUT it was moving. It was the exact color of the night sky. The light pollution was such that I could not discern stars around the object. The object was gliding at a very smooth, slow, straight, and silent pace. There were no lights on it at all. It was obvious, this craft did not want to be seen at all. It was definitely stealth... and most likely cloaked. I pointed up to alert the other Security Guard... "Can you see that?" I asked enthusiastically. He noticed it also. We could see something that could not be seen. What could be seen was a thin chevron shaped cloud illuminated by moonlight along the leading edge of the craft. The other guard thought looked like a line (180 degrees), whereas I thought it had a slight bend to it similar to a boomerang (Perhaps 170 degrees). I saw the object for almost 40 seconds before it disappeared into the skyglow of the city south of us, Greensboro. He probably saw it for about 25 seconds. The other Guard stated it best... "It had no mass." We saw it, though it couldn't be seen. I think technically, what we actually saw was the environment being impacted by the objects' presence. The Event being hosted was for World Translators.

I was driving with my daughter on Route 2 going towards Boston around 6:30 PM. We had just passed Bedford Road traffic light in Lincoln. Both of us saw a ball of yellow light moving very rapidly from our right to left. The speed of this object was much faster than a jet plane and slower than meteorite. The object was not at the usual height where airplane flies but at much lower level. We saw the object for about 3 seconds and then the light just went off.

Driving home from work we saw a single bright white light shoot across the sky in front of us. It moved as if it was coming from behind us, then quickly disappeared behind the treeline. There was no fireball or tail/streak which would be associated with a comet.

His coordinates were appx 32.380257,-93.659467 (Google maps) looking out to field to the east, slightly north towards the bend in the Red River between the industrial area and Taylortown (seen in Google maps screen shot). He flipped his video around to back camera and showed me a formation of lights (seen in second screenshot) There looked to be 5-6 lights which ran in slightly staggering line about 3 finger widths up from horizon (from his distance). They say each finger width is appx 15 min each when measuring time before sun goes down, do however high up that would be. He stated that they were just hovering for quite some time, but began to move very slowly to what appeared to him to be to the south/southeast. He listened for helicopter noises, but heard nothing of the sort.

On route 40 going east just past wrangle Hill Rd. Saw what I thought might be 2 planes, however 1 of the white objects grew larger and larger in size and then sort of imploded without any sort of burst or explosion
