Tacoma, WA
Unusual bright "star" which I viewed out my window while seated on the couch. Caught my attention because it was unusually bright, being near the horizon. I looked at it out the window for several minutes, then went out onto my front stoop, where it very slowly moved out of sight. It did not appear to be over my neighborhood, but rather, it seemed closer to SeaTac airport or perhaps over Fairwood/Kent. There was no noise. It appeared to pulsate. I see this exact same thing from my porch frequently. I live in Tacoma and it is always in the northern sky, almost like it is flashing prismatic light, and then suddenly diappears. We joke it is probably just another one of Elon Musk's experiments. The object definitely doesn't behave or move like anything we are familiar with.

For about an hour I saw seven UFO objects moving acrross, I know they were not airplanes because I saw 3 of them with the red flossing (sic. Flashing ??) but these would go around other starts then disappear. 7!!!!!!!!!! Not ordinary

Troy, OH
A very large bright light in Eastern sky high in the horizon. It appeared as an off white light and was so large and bright I thought I was looking at a planet. When I looked closer, I noticed it was slowly moving in a southerly direction. As I continued to watch, within a couple of seconds I noticed it began to dim in brightness and looked smaller to me. Within a couple of seconds it disappeared. No cloud cover present in the area and it did not display characteristics of a plane.

Thornton, CO
My spouse and I noticed a round, very bright white orb hovering high in the sky just northeast of Thornton, Colorado. The object would hover, then move slightly left, move back to its original hovering point, then move slightly right, then back to its original spot, and so on. It was a very bright white light but occasionally would emit a red light. This light hovered in the same spot for several hours from approx 10:15pm to 2:00am. When we looked for it again at 4:00am, it was gone.

Yuma, AZ
Looked like a star...until it moved...moonlit sky..was North of moon..eastern sky..almost directly overhead... Darting around...no sound...thought is was an airplane at first..30,000 to 40,000 feet Til it started darting around Not first time seen, but this time it was only one Last time it was 3...and they were in a triangle formation,darting around zig-zagging It doesn't move from the area it's in, Everytime we've seen it, it's in the same part of the sky...background dark sky as always... Yuma International Airport that is next to Marine Corps Air Station Yuma Felt compelled tonight to have this investigated because it seems be far to repetive to ignore

East Greenwich, RI
I witnessed a craft about a mile up with different colored lights zip through the sky faster than anything I’ve ever scene. It didn’t make a sound and didn’t appear to put off any exhaust. Faster than a shooting star and definitely faster than any military aircraft I’ve ever witnessed.

Meridian, ID
Was walking my dog looking East towards Nampa and Caldwell. I spotted four red lights in a line that were tilted at an angle and they were quite white apart. a man was outside sitting on his porch so I asked him to get up and take a look at it and I asked him if he knew what it was and he said he'd never seen anything like that in his life. I then called my parents live about three miles away and have them step outside and asked if they could see red lights. They confirm that they did and we're shocked at the way that they were moving and coming in and out of focus like they were going far away and then coming closer.and then a bright light appeared that started flashing like a strobe light following in similar vicinity of the direction the red lights were going. At some point they all disappeared.

Stanley, ID
While driving I saw 3 red flashing lights followed by a flashing white strobe like light. They appeared to all be in a fairly straight line and moving in the opposite direction I was heading. When discussing this with someone else 40 miles north east, they had described seeing the same thing from there standpoint. I shut the car off to video, and they did have a steady, white noise like sound. They continued in the opposite direction as I continued on my route.

Smithsburg, MD
The sky turned a reddish color, then there was this pulsating light in the dense clouds. They turned green, purple, blue, and would flash bright red. We could hear a strange sound in the sky. I have never experienced anything like this. Not going to lie.... I was pretty freaked out.my dog was in the house going a little crazy as well, he stopped when the event stopped.

Downers Grove, IL
Six Circular shaped objects of various colors. Some multi colored green and red, some white, one solid red. Appeared in the sky moving west to east over Downers Grove, Il. Moving fast but silently. Appx. 20:58. First white one appeared alone followed momentarily by four others of various colors in a sort of triangular pattern and maybe minute and a half later by last solid white one. Best guess altitude appx. 20/30 thousand feet. Hard to tell at night.

Sewickley, PA
Just before sunset, I noticed what looked like a planet in the eastern sky about 90 degrees from the horizon. The sun was still up so it was strange to see the bright, planet-like object. I inspected it with binoculars and it seemed to have two smal moons, much like what Jupiter looks like through binoculars. I called to my wife and 16 year old stepson who also saw the object that remained stationary.. My stepson used an astronomy app and told me that it was not Jupiter. His app showed Jupiter in the southwestern sky. Once the sun went down the object completely disappeared.

Aurora, IL
I tried to watch it as close as I could, and I followed it with my eyes, until a tree covered my view. I went around the tree, still staring up at the sky I search of the mysterious object, but I never found it. The last few things I remember are that the object was round, almost shaped like a star. It even twinkled. But it was just so fast, and moved so strangely, I'm absolutely positive that this was a UFO. Unfortunately, I was the only witness this phenomenon. However, my cousins were there when this happened. I tried to show them, but they dismissed it as a mere shooting star. I'm sure it was a UFO, though. Please keep in mind that I am a mere child, and that I would not like to receive any mail to my address. Sorry for any inconvenience. However, I do accept voicemails and emails. I cannot receive calls since I am almost always busy. I do hope that my age does not interfere with any thing, as I am thoroughly astounded by the experience that I went through. Thank you for your time. Warm Regards, ((girl's name deleted))

Owensboro, KY
This weekend is the towns air show, so I happened to look out the window to see if they were doing any night training because my window faces the airport. I saw a triangle formation of 3 large orange balls in the sky. I stared at them and told the other person “I have no clue what I am looking at.” So as she came over to look, the one ball job just fades out quickly. So now the two balls are sitting there, haven’t moved at all, till the one starts doing tight loops and spins around. We decided to go outside to watch them, and I grabbed my phone. Got out there, and they were gone.

We were watching the antique airplanes flying over from the fly in at Beverly and caught a picture of of a sphere above one of the planes.

It was a red light. When I saw it my first thought was it was a flare, but the longer I looked at it, I realized that it was not such. I'm not making this up. It had been in the air for at least five minutes. It traveled with grace and almost looked like it was dancing. It had an aurora around it too. I don't even know if it was a craft.

Los Angeles, CA
Was on my way to work with my boyfriend, his mom and her other son. We looked up in the sky and noticed a triangular shape flying in the sky. It was at a good distance but you could definitely see all the lights. They were solid white. It got near another light in the sky, maybe a star. Once it got there it seemed to stay idle then all the lghts were flickering on it.
