Mobile, AL
Friend and I went on a boat ride to a sandbar we know at approx. 7:00 PM in Bayou Sara. We left at (estimated) 7:30 PM, headed North back towards Gunnison River. I looked eastward and spotted what seemed to be a orange/ yellow ball of fire moving incredibly slowly towards the south. I drew my friends attention to the object, to which after a few seconds of watching it said my thoughts exactly, “what the f*ck is that dude?”. I estimated it to be 2 miles away, 2,000 feet high, and moving towards the south at around 40 mph. We observed it moving for around 40 seconds, after which it appeared to dim and burn out over he course of 3-4 seconds. I remained unlit for 10 seconds or so and appeared to re-ignite itself back to its original luminosity. Moving the same speed and direction as before for 5-6 seconds, I appeared to dim itself for the final time, after which we never saw it again. There were no clouds in the sky, it was entirely clear at that hour. The objec! t had no blinking lights. The object also made no noise. Within 5 minutes we counted 4 helicopters and 3 jets flying over the objects general area, which we had not seen a single one the entirety that we were out there on the river. It appeared that they were scrambled to intercept the object.

Salem, MA
I was located on the roof deck bar of the Salem hotel. I arrived there approximately at 21:15 hrs with my wife and a friend. Upon settling in at the bar and waiting for our first order of drinks of the night. I noticed 5 lights off in the distance. They were rounding a telecommunications tower off in the distance. At first I thought it might have been aircraft lining up going towards Logan international airport, but after observing them for sometime the lights were just hanging there not moving, and after several mins they began to move. I asked several people there that night if that was a normal occurrence. The two bar tenders and waiting staff replied no, it was the first time they had ever seen something like that. The lights began to move off in another direction and towards the ground were they were not visible anymore. If this was a flight pattern for landing air craft there should have been more coming in intervals, but have after these lights were g! one there were no more lights that came. From my vantage point I believe the lights were near Swampscott, Ma, and the Salem, Ma. Roughly seven mins after being there I took a picture of these lights, and then they began to move, but they were going very slow, not like an ordinary planes flight path that should have looked quicker even at the distance that I was at. This stuck with me and I wanted to check and see if there were any other reports of these lights and I came across your website. I have seen many things, I am month away from my contract ending with the military and I am Staff Sergeant I’m the Army. I am aware of the way aircraft work and act during observation Wether fixed wing or rotary. I also should mention there were no visible indication lights, the normal red-green blinking lights, nor were there any landing lights. What I am describing can be viewed on any aircraft. These lights did not fit that description. They looked like white balls of lights.

Camden, NY
9:15 pm EDST on 9/24/19 While observing Pluto, Saturn and Jupiter in the night sky, just outside of Camden, NY (Hillsboro Rd), my aunt alerted me that there was a light moving erratically. I retrieved my binoculars and observed 4 different colors of lights along with a white light that seemed to be constant while the other colors blinked individually. Blue, red, green yellow. If I were to guess where this object was, I would say looking towards Amboy Center, NY. The object moved back and forth or remained stationary. When we first observed it, it seemed to be wobbling. We also saw a very bright light over Oneida lake (from this location). It seemed to be moving low and differently from a plane or I attempted to video tape it but it didn’t who on the video. We watched it for 10 minutes. It remained there as I left to return to my home. Note that dog was barking while we were observing. Dog was looking toward wooded area

Wilmington, IL
The power in house flickered on and off several times followed by a surge complete darkness then the lights went back on. The rest of the neighbors didn't get power back and the whole block was in complete darkness. Due to the power failure several neigh ors came to my house to power up there phones/tablets.total 7 of us. My son recieved a text from NASA that ISSC was pacing I mb orbit an maybe be seen around 8:30 p.m. we ran outside to check it out and were able to see it after mistaking a few planes first. After it was over we hung outside for awhile as it was a clear sky we were star gazing when we saw two light either two separate crafts or one big one as they followed perfectly in line to each other. They moved quickly across sky (not as fast as metro or comet but not as slow as a plane or jet). The front light grew extremely bright for a short time then back to it's original brightness and carried on across the sky for another 30 to 40 seconds then completely disappeared both lights. Because it was in the sky I have nothing to measure it to so not sure how far up or how big the object was accurately so I will not guess. This isn't the first odd light in the sky out here for the past three night we have seen what I have been telling my child they are just satellites reflecting the sun from space. I know it's something more but what I don't know. I am in no way stating Aliens just stating I couldn't identify what it was and its not being the norm as we often sky gaze. I tried to video tape but didn't get what I was hoping for.

Round yellow to orange spheres progressively lighted and dimmed out in sequence, in a straight line (from right to left) over the north end of the Organ Mountains. More exactly towards Radium Springs.

Driving under a bridge at 60mph. Scrolling back frame by frame, this is what I got. Looks like a small figure with a large head and webbed feet. There is also a stick shaped figure in front of him. There is also some kind of suit next to him kind of looks like a scream mask.

3 "lights" (constant illumination, not blinking) moving in unison in triangle formation across east sky approximately 45 degrees up from horizon, moving from south to north roughly. I was not able to determine if there were 3 separate craft or one craft with 3 lights.

Washinton, MO
Driving in the country between New Haven and Washington, we saw 2 very bright orange lights. We were on a hill driving east when we saw them on the eastern Horizon well above tree's. Them seemed to be a bit south of the city of Washington. One was lower than the other and the other was up and to the right (Diagonal) from the lower one. We stopped in the road (no cars nearby) and stared for 30 seconds or so. Before Continuing on. We decided to drive down the road and caught a glimpse of them still shining very brightly in the same location. At this point we are driving north and they are still east of us. We then entered a wooded area and couldn't see for about 2 minutes. We then parked in a field with a empty gravel road and saw that there was only 1 light remaining. We then see to to north east another bright orange light. We assumed one of the lights must of relocated. It then dimmed and disappeared once again. The one that stayed in position then dimmed and disappeared before reappearing 5 seconds later. After watching the lone light for a while we decided to leave to go back to where we originally saw it. Once we returned there, there was still only the single light. The second one never returned. We then decided to go home. I did check flight map radars to see if helicopter's / planes were in the area. There weren't. We know for a fact that it wasn't towers/light posts or something because we drive the road every day/night multiple times. Also it was clearly in the sky. Never really believed sightings until I saw them tonight.

Monument/Larkspur (between), CO
Driving down I-25 before Larkspur, saw 3 lights in a Chevron shape on the horizon. They flew to the right and stayed still and then went in a straight line, middle light turned blue, and disappeared. 10 minutes later, reappearing as one large orange orb Northeast of Castle Rock, 1 orb appeared almost directly underneath and then both disappeared.

Murfreesboro, TN
Driving home and saw a weird floating triangle with glowing lights about 200 feet above a small field. We weren't sure what it was so we slowed down and watched it from our moving vehicle and then went passed some trees to turn around and it was completely gone. It was a completely clear night and there was no trace of it at all. Nothing was on the ground or flying away.

Shelton, CT
My location: 41*17’60”N - 17*11’26”W, elevation 390 ASL. Object was observed at 49* NE from this location at an elevation of about 20* above horizon. No clouds, clear night with many bright stars. (*) means degrees. At about 10:00pm, I stepped out my back door. With the naked eye, I observed what I thought was an aircraft practicing stalls at night. Being a former glider pilot and life long aviation enthusiast, I am familiar with aircraft at night. I also have a steady stream of aircraft overhead leaving JFK and heading across in the Atlantic flight corridor. I could see red, green/blue and white lights and thought these to be the port/starboard/landing lights of an aircraft. The lights were clustered together and blinking rapidly. Imagine those colored LEDs blinking quickly on a wreath but this was in the shape of a tight ball. As I continued to watch the lights slowly swoop up and down through a space of 1.0 to 1.5 degrees of sky, (using fingers,) I realized that the lights were wrong for an aircraft. I observed perhaps 8-12 swoops. Each swoop was in a slightly different direction in the sky, some to the left, others to the right. Each swoop was a duration of 4-5 one thousand from top! to bottom. I had excellent reference for elevation changes as the event occurred between two stationary trees with horizontal branches. After observing for perhaps 10 minutes or more, I went in and grabbed my binoculars (Bushnell 16x50) and returned outside. I moved my observation position 4 feet right to gain a clear, unobstructed view without branches but still between two trees on either side of the object. Standing and observing hand held was shaky so I kneeled down behind an Adirondack chair to steady the image. I could now see much more clearly the small cluster of multiple colored lights. My focal setting was not set to infinity. Thinking the different colors could be a refraction of white light in the lenses, I moved and observed stars and they were distinctly a single, steady source of white light compared to the colored lights of the object. I thought to try and photograph the object with my smart phone but shooting stars at night with the phone is pointless. As I continued to observe the object through the binoculars, the swooping had noticeably slowed and diminished. I also noticed the cluster seemed smaller than when I first started, as if it was moving away but still remained in the same altitude position relative to the trees. As I had been observing the object for about 10-15 minutes, my knees were sore from kneeling on the stone pavers. I left the object, still visible with naked eye but smaller in the sky and went to bed wondering what the ‘ell I just saw….

First 20 seconds of the video you can see a triangular craft float in from the side And then takeoff into the horizon. Next minute of the video you can see one orb floating in the sky. At about two minutes you can see three orbs floating in the sky. After minute three you can see an orange craft flying diagonally down from the left. This craft appeared to be an orange biplane with props when it flew over the trees. It literally took my breath away. Then it becomes an orange glowing ball of light. At the time it looked like it landed right behind my building. There are no airports near that building.

Rancho Mirage, CA
I stepped outside into the backyard late last night just before 11:00pm and noticed what appeared to be a string of lights, similar to the landing and beacon lights on an aircraft and about the same level of brightness as stars, that were hovering horizontally and at first stationary in the sky to the southeast of my location near Palm Springs. I observed the anomaly for several minutes, taking a few long exposure nighttime shots on my phone, as the string of lights came together forming what appeared to be one single source of light that then began to move slowly in a southern direction, changing direction slightly towards the east then vanishing completely from view. There was a second that I at first thought was a star further off in the distance where this craft was moving towards, and this light also disappeared not long after the first. I'll also mention that were no (zero) registered aircraft in the vicinity of the lights throughout the entire duratio! n of the event.

Didn’t see it with my naked eye. Went back frame by frame on my video and got these images. Looks like a big in one frame, and a capsule in another.

I saw two very bright white flashing lights in the south East sky. The object was moving very slowly. A thin cloud moves in front of the lights. The lights could still be seen through the clouds. Eventually the clouds were too thick for the light to pass through. I waited and got some video of it on my iPhone. I thought I could walk closer to work and film more but could not locate it again.

Wow, I’m shocked to my core due to an event that occurred while I was driving on the freeway, I looked up and saw a green hovering light come down from the air, it proceeded to dart off the edge of the sky almost instantly, this craft went from one side of the sky to the other in a matter of less than a second. Can someone please try to explain this to me and how this could be physically possible?

Worthington, OH
I was driving east on Snouffer Rd in Worthington, OH at 7:20AM. I was at a stopped light while looking up at the sky. The sky was completely clear with no clouds and the sun was rising. There was a black plane noted to the far right, which was easily identifiable but the sky was otherwise clear with no other planes or clouds. Suddenly, out of nowhere there was a bright white, round light that appeared straight eastward. The light hovered for about 10-20 seconds when suddenly a second bright white light appeared to the upper right of the first bright white object. They both hovered there with no movement for about 30-40 seconds. I was unable to stay and continue watching as I was at a stop light and unable to hold up traffic. They were clearly not airplanes and appeared as if two of the brightest stars I’ve ever seen just randomly appeared in the day sky.

Cedar Park, TX
Stargazing around 2 in the morning when all of a sudden an object blocks the stars in the part of the sky im looking at, i refocus my eyes only to realize this is a large boomerang shaped craft that is just barely visible under the night sky, almost perfectly camouflaged, and is heading west from cedar park. I would guess this was flying over leander from where I saw it. It made absolutely no noise and was incredibly camouflaged in the night sky. There was no light emitting from the craft, the only reason I could see the craft was because of the silhouetting of the light from the stars in the night sky. It was flying rather low so I was very shocked considering i'd just been watching a lot of other air traffic come into austin, but to my surprise when i checked flightradar24 after this sighting there was ZERO air traffic within a 150 mile radius.... I would also mention that this boomerang object was very wide, it reminded me of the b-2 stealth bomber in wingspan honestly, which definitely makes me think this is some military black project that I just witnessed, not something extra terrestrial. Either way, when I saw it, i was incredibly spooked. Never seen an actual unexplainable UFO in my life before, i would consider myself a skeptic of sorts when it comes to that stuff, so I have to say i feel pretty shaken up after this experience.
