Stewartstown, NH
I was outside with my dogs and I looked up at the sky and saw 3 blinking very bright lights. They would blink in the same consecutive order. It was a formation of lights. I couldn't hear any engine noise nor could i see an actual craft, but the lights were would blink in a diamond type shape. I had my mom and Dad come out and see it and they wrre both scratching their heads, it mystified the three of us!

I've observed it with my binoculars moving VERY slowly, then just disappears. Tonight I got pictures of it. It is bright and glowing, sometimes orange then a yellow color, it seems to be turning in my binoculars and maybe changing shape. I seem to see it more when it's cloudy, but tonight it was clear and the moon had set so it was dark. It was visible on and off for about 2 hours - from about 6:30 pm until after 8 pm. Also the dogs in the neighborhood and farther away bark a lot. That's usually how I see it after going outside to see why the dogs are barking non stop.

Newington, CT
Witness saw one white orb with no navigational lights, markings or insignias traveling on a straight line in a NE direction over West Hartford and were viewed from Willard Ave and Francis Ave in Newington. The orb disappeared from view and reappeared on the same line of travel, but much further away. It then turned abruptly back like in the shape of a knife blade and stopped. A second orb (red) materialized bellow it, but at a distance and both orbs turned on a white blinking strobe light below their crafts. The red orb was flying in a circle pattern and made one turn before both continued in the same directon of travel/ speed, towards the NE. Witness lost sight of them as he continued North on Willard Ave/ Newington Rd. (MUFON CMS)

Columbus, OH
While carpooling to work on the morning of Nov 1, 2019 on I-270 South, I noticed some bright and seemingly close lights to my right side (from passenger seat). I glanced at the lights and assumed it was an airliner as it was directly north of Columbus Int'l Airport, but took a second look because it seemed strange. I immediately noticed that the lights/object had not moved, only hovering in place and there were very bright white lights at 3 corners of the object with dimmer yellow/orange lights in the "center." The lights were flashing in a random order across the object. The object never changed position and was hovering quite low in the sky (I was able to directly observe it from the car without straining or moving). I was able to make out clearly the shape of the object against the clouds, which was a very large, black/dark grey triangle. It appeared to be roughly the size of an airliner, or possibly larger.

Dane, WI
I was in my way in to work, it was around 6:15 in the morning and very dark. When I drive in, I leave my house and drive up a very big hill, so if it happens to be light out, I can see a pretty good view of the country side. It was dark, so all I can see are lights and what is in front of me. I saw an insanely bright light several miles away. I was thinking it was a planet at first because it did look likt it was up in the sky, but due to it being dark, it was hard to tell with landscape elevations - so I was excited to see what it was as I knew my drive in to work would bring me closer to it since it was in the direction I was headed. I could see the light the majority of my drive (again, incredibly bright) and it never seemed to move, which led me to believe again it was likely a bright star or planet. As I drove closer to it, I could see that there was more than one light, but one for certain was very bright - there were 3 other lights on it, one was red ! and I believe I saw a blue light. The object was hovering above a farm on the road I turn on to. I would have to compare its hovering height to two tall grain silos length - in other words, it was low for the type of flying object it was. I ended up turning on to a side road near the farm it was hovering above to get a closer look. The object was big, in my opinion I would think it would fit a 10x10ft room or bigger, and looked like it had 4 points from the shape I could see in the dark, the way the lights on it were laid out. I turned off my radio and rolled down my window and did not hear any sound even being in the country. At first I thought it was a drone, but then thought to myself that that seemed incredibly big for a drone, and wondered why it would be out in the dark. I parked my car and the object immediately started flying away, towards the direction I originally came from. I took a picture of it, from the view of it flying away from me (it didn't turn out too gr! eat). When it flew away, the pace was relatively slow. I decid! ed to fo llow it because I really couldn't believe what I was seeing. I followed it for 2-3 miles and then saw another object of the same description that it was flying towards. I saw lights on the second object, but it didn't have as bright of a light as the first one I saw. The objects got higher in the sky but seemed to hover around the same area while increasing its height in the air. The original one I saw started flying back towards where I originally saw it, and the second object flew the opposite way. At this point, they were both pretty high up where they could have been mistaken with a plane if a person happened to look up in the sky. I turned back around to go towards my work destination, still following object 1's direction, but it was moving very fast. For another 10 minutes of my ride to work, I could see the blinking lights in the distance. I eventually had to turn the opposite way of where it was, so I no longer was viewing it. I would say it was 5-7 miles from me by ! the time I had to turn off, which also made me wonder if a drone had the capability to travel that far from its starting point. I am not the type of person to care about this type of stuff, and I'm sure there is a good possibility it was a drone, but it was pretty unreal to see.

Alhambra, CA
I was traveling Eastbound on I-10 in through the city of Alhambra, when by two friends and I saw an extremely bright flash. When we looked out and up, there was a bright streak traveling North to South and at a VERY high rate of speed. I’ve seen meteors and comets, this was neither one. I’ve never seen anything like this before, the streak it left behind was bright glowing white with some yellow that faded, the best way for me to suscribe it would be as if an electrical wire were to be over loaded and glowed. I was hoping my dash cam caught what we saw but when I tried to review the footage my dash cam froze about 1/4 mile from where we saw it.

So, I found NURC and started searching. I found very similar experiences in my area about the same time, so I thought I would enter the incident for your database. It was around midnight and my husband and I were looking up at the stars, as we often do. It was a fairly clear fall night, with just a few clouds. I was looking straight up, I mean the back of my head was resting on my spine, it was literally straight up. My back was towards my house, I was standing about 2-3 feet from our 2 story house, we live on a hill overlooking the city. From behind me, straight over my head from the other side of house (NE) towards the downtown area (SW) - A silent huge circle with no lights was slowly moving over our heads. I tried to get my husband's attention but he didn't see it in time. It was slow-moving kind of Blended in with the night sky and disappeared into a few clouds. It was very stealth like but it seemed like it was right above our house. I was standing directly underneath it. The next day, I was in that same spot by the house using our house when I noticed all these red spots along the wall window water spicket and leaves of bushes. It was only about a 10 to 12 foot with of the house directly where the craft had passed over the night before. I got up my camera and took some video of these odd shaped red droplets. I even tried to squish one and it seemed like it was blood coming out of it I was weirded out. I posted it on YouTube and that’s where I get the approximate date of 10 months ago. To this day’s some of those red spots are still there. I don’t know if it’s related or not but I found it very interesting.

3 flying lights in a v formation in the sky that we’re moving very fast north, north east and turning at an instant that could not have been possible by normal aircraft. This was over the sky towards the southwest part of Fort Worth. Once the 3 lights turned, they went out of my sight and took off very fast north.

I am a security guard, at a fairly high security location. While looking toward the sky for an owl we heard screeching, I saw a dark triangle shaped craft pass over at high speed and at low altitude. Object was very hard to see, with 3 extremely dim large lights, or possibly it was just illuminated by ground lights in the three circular areas beneath it. The object was only visible to the naked eye for seconds. I switched to a hand held thermal night vision camera and could see the object had heat and some thickness to it. The object appeared about as big as a small plane at several hundred feet. The object was moving faster than other aircraft and made no sound. It vanished from view with the camera in less than 10 seconds. Object was heading South/Southeast, roughly toward an airport only a mile or two away. Since the tower is open until 10 PM, I would think they would have seen it on radar, unless it was stealthy or slightly too low. I yelled to a colleague to step over and look up, but it had vanished visually before he could see it. Within 10 minutes of the sighting, a large military helicopter did a low flyover of the airport and flew through the area where the craft was last sighted. This happens occasionally, so it is unknown if related.

I was sitting in the jacuzzi at my apartment complex. I was facing roughly northeast when I saw movement out of the corner of my right eye. I looked at it expecting to see a commercial airliner landing (or taking off from sky harbor airport, we used to live nearby). The object I saw was moving a lot faster than anything I personally have ever seen. Unfortunately I can't, make a guess as to how fast the object was moving as I didn't have a way to time it. It flew straight over my head at a height I can't make a reliable guess at. All I can say about its altitude is that it was high enough that the city lights barely illuminated it, making it appear to be maybe a lightish grey color. It's shape was almost perfectly round but it, did have a slight concavity to both sides of it's front end (very slight but noticable). From its aft end it, emitted a very short, narrow contrail. I am taking into consideration the fact that I lived less than a mile from a ! military base. I find it worth noting that the object was traveling south-southeast to north-northwest which put it in line with fort huachuca in Tucson, AZ while traveling toward area 51 in Nevada... I met one other person (a young woman one week later) who claimed to have seen the same object from a stop light at Scottsdale Rd (I didn't hear the other street she said unfortunately). It is not possible for me to meet up with this woman anymore I, no longer live in those apartments and I, didn't really know her. The woman did say that the object emitted a pale red light. From my perspective it was lightless...

Post Falls, ID
While driving in a residential neighborhood on Halloween, at about 8:30 pm Pacific Time, I spotted a bright orange light, ball shaped, floating by the red lights of a distant cell phone tower. The orange ball was slightly below the halfway point of the cell tower, drifting slowly. As I watched it made a looping maneuver quite quickly, and ended up higher in the sky. After that it held very still, only drifting slightly and slowly faded out over the course of about a minute. When first spotted the object moved in front of the tower, if it was close to the tower it would have probably been between a refrigerator and a car in size. Its possible it could have been a drone but it seemed too large and I have never seen a drone with a big orange light on it like that. Considering there were many people out walking around that night, it’s possible someone else saw it.

I was testing my camera and saw two bright white lights about the size of A large star fly from the south east to north west at high speed. They were about 20 yards apart, the one on the left was flying in almost a strait line, the one on the right was weaving back and forth toward the left one. They were about 600 to 1000 feet above me and they were silent. I pointed my camera at them with video already running but I’m not sure if I captured them.

3 very bright orange lights were seen from south Albany flying in from the West very close together not making any noise by the time I got my camera out there were 5 they started flashing at each other and three of them started flying in a triangle formation two of them started flashing and very quickly disappeared while the other three headed south and then while claiming higher in the sky tell they were unable to be seen.

Topeka, KS
I first noticed two air craft flying in the eastern direction. They produced a constant flashing, which to me is easly identifiable as aircraft. As they flown for a few seconds I noticed a third appear. Showing three lights in a triangler shape. This object was flying in the north to north western direction. When watching this, one of the eastern flying aircraft did a U turn and starting flying west. Focusing on the north northwestern flying object, it began to rotate in a corkscrew motion. At this moment I attempted to grab my cell phone but as the western aircraft pasted infront of the other object it faded into black or just got to far away to see. Both other aircraft continued on thier paths. The movement of this third object was to quick and erratic with two other references to see at the same time.

Eagle River, AK
While coming home from work on the Old Glenn Hwy in Eagle River, I noticed four circular lights directly North of my location. The lights were at 45 degree angles in two separate pairs. I am unsure if this was one large craft or four separate craft. The lights hovered at what seemed to be 1000 feet in altitude if I had to guess. After about 15 seconds of visual all four lights ascended vertically at a rapid pace and eventually disappeared into thin air. I was in the military for 8 years. No man made aircraft or drone could have accelerated at that speed vertically. I suppose that if it was any aircraft at JBER it would have made a sonic boom that I could have heard from my location, however no noise was heard. I have never witnessed a UFO in my 43 years, this is the first time and felt compelled to report it.

We were passing out candy for Halloween outside. In between passing candy out we were watching a video on my tablet while my wife was looking up at the stars. all of the sudden she noticed that there was something flying in the sky that was very dark and was Chevron shaped. She asked both of us what was that flying in the sky, so we looked up and all witnessed the craft flying. The sky was dark but the object was just slightly lighter grayish color so it was slightly visible. it was just bright enough so you can make the shape of it out but there were no lights and no sound. The object was flying southward over our house. We were all amazed at what we saw. About 15 to 20 minutes later my wife was in the backyard and witnessed yet again the object flying this time North. we have seen drones fly by before and you can hear the engines on those when they fly by but with this there was absolutely no sound and the shape was different. We are used to seeing milit! ary aircraft being close to the March air reserve Base and have seen a lot of planes flying at air shows so we know it was not a craft that we were used to seeing.

Three lights, all moving at the same speed so they’re not separate planes. Moving super fast. Looked with binoculars, couldn’t see anything besides the three lights. Underneath, there was a plane moving much slower than the unidentified aircraft. Moved incredibly quickly and went out of view in the span of ~2 minutes.

As a lifelong lover of space, weather, aviation craft etc. from a young age I have always found myself staring up to the sky. I mean compulsively. Whenever I step outside, I always check the full skyline for sun, moon, stars, storms, aircraft ...anything. Also as an Engineer I’ve always believed that advanced technologies do or have existed. Despite all this and in 40 years of living I’ve never seen anything unexplainable in the skies. This changed on Oct 31st 2019. I prepped the kids for Trick or Treating then went outside on our north facing deck of my home in the middle of a populated area. Immediately I noticed a black object sitting in the sky maybe a mile or two to the north. At the same time I heard the sound of a small prop plane, and at first I thought this propeller sound was coming from the black object and that the black object was just a typical aircraft. But I then noticed a small, much closer, very slow flying Cessna traveling west to east above I-94 that was clearly making the sound I heard. It was just getting to dusk as I remember the Cessna’s flashing lights were on and I could just still see its paint color. I refocused back on the black object and my heart started to race a bit as it looked unusual and rectangular. Seconds later it started flying towards me, but at 45 degree angle from straight at me. I now could clearly see it was indeed a black colored rectangle (geometric prism) or aka brick shape. It moved with the wider dimension out to its sides (not lengthwise). The object then moved by jumping(?) forward and started now to the ESE direction, I rubbed my eyes as I could not believe it and also it seemed it could blur out of focus. Overall, I got some very clear looks at this object and it was an definitely an engineered flying craft unlike anything I’ve ever seen! There were two larger white circles at each end and about 4 smaller white circles all in-line with the larger two circles across the width of the rectangle. There were no flashing lights and these larger circles weren’t lights it appeared, but looked maybe half spheres recessed into the craft like ceiling can lights or something...I don’t know. They were white, but very soft and hazy, not bright at all. The object was really messing with my mind and senses. It had: zero sound, moved supernaturally smooth (it appeared it could also sort of jump forward in space, unlike typically high speed acceleration) , extremely poor aerodynamics (like a wide brick like geometry), came in and out of focus (optical cloaking?), and not sure if I was panicking but I felt like it saw me watching it. Finally, it flew fast well out in front of the Cessna in the sky and as soon as I reached for my phone it completely disappeared! This all lasted I think about 15 seconds. I’ve been obsessed since then and have read extensively through the NUFORC archives of rectangular craft. I also have performed google image searches and have found some very similar pictures and descriptions. Ive created a detailed drawing using MSPowerpoint It was certainly larger than the Cessna, and was pretty dang big, but not humongous- maybe 180ft width or “wingspan” if you will. Also, due to its direction change from the N to ESE I also saw its depth and height (side profile) very well and it was much smaller maybe 20ft depth x15 ft high, hard to say for sure. So, clearly, dimensionally it strangely was just a 3D rectangle - no protruding tail, wings or features other than the circles on the bottom. I strongly believe the Cessna could’ve easily seen this object as it was maybe just several hundred feet higher in elevation and zoomed out ahead of the Cessna or just to the pilot’s front-left. This was no toy drone and should not have been able to move like this. My belief is the two larger, white, half-spheres have something significant to do with its power/propulsion as when its direction changed one of these circles haziness was more prominent I’ve replayed this sighting over and over in my head and I’m confident in all these descriptions of what I saw. I would have submitted my story sooner, but wanted to do my research and was unsure what I should do.

San Pedro, CA
I was take photos of the sunrise facing east. I had my camera set up on a tripod doing long/multiple exposures. I was looking south to see if the boats (container ships) on the horizon line are moving or staying still. Just above the horizon a light caught my eye. At first it looked like a shooting star, it appeared to be moving at a 45º angle to the horizon, with a slight downward arc. When it was just above the horizon it darted up and then made a movement in the shape of a fish hook as it disappeared. It was about 3 to 5 times the thickness of a shooting star. About 5 to 7 times brighter than a plane but moved about 10x faster than a plane. The object did not reflect on the ocean and did get dimmer as it approached the horizon as to appear outside the earths atmosphere. The entire even happen in less than a second. As I saw it I put my hand on my phone in my pocket, by that time it was over.
