Dahlonega, GA
I was on the phone with a friend of mine and was looking out the window of my bedroom when a light appeared heading north from the top of the window. I thought at first it could have been a plane but there were no flashing lights and it was moving around the sky erratically. It was heading in a general northern direction but was curving to the left and right in ways that a plane couldn't have. I then thought that maybe it was a drone but those too have flashing lights and it seemed close enough that I would have been able to see them. Once it got about three quarters' down the length of my window it stopped moving and then just disappeared. There were no trees or anything that it could have moved behind. It was just in the sky, and it just blinked out and was gone.

Half Moon Bay/San Mateo (between; Hwy 9), CA
At first I thought it might be a house, but the lights were too big, and at some point I would've passed the house. Yet, as I kept driving the lights were still hovering over this mountainous peak. Once I started to make my descent on the road, I could no longer see the peak of the mountain and lost sight of the lights. I saw them for about 5-10 minutes of driving as I was driving up the road and the peak of the mountains/hills were visible from the highway.

Hamilton, MT
Went out to turn off my sprinkler and noticed a bright orange light coming from the NW and traveling slowly towards the SE. The sky was already dark with no cloud cover and stars were out. National weather service out of Missoula reported winds aloft at 60mph out of the NW over Hamilton, MT at 10:00pm mountain time. Once I noticed the first light, I could see another traveling along a similar path as if one was following the other. They were both equally bright and where much bigger than any object such as Jupiter or other planets or stars. They were easily10x bigger than the biggest planet or star. They were circular in shape, possibly slightly elongated when at their brightest. The first one slowed and stopped directly overhead making no sound at all. While the first one remained stationary and the second one continued towards the first, the first one dimmed and became smaller to about the size of the stars out at the time. Then the first one vanished compl! etely. Meanwhile, the second one while still moving also dimmed down to a smal star sized object and completely vanished as well. While all that was going on further in the distance a third object following along the same path caught my attention as well. The third object was orange as well but different than the other in that it appeared to have an orange energy field surrounding it making it much brighter. The main part being what seemed about the same bright orange as the first two objects, and the surrounding orb surrounding it a much lighter shade of orange. This energy field that I call it made the third object 4-5x bigger than the main center object that it was surrounding. The third object never came as far south as the other two so my view of it was not as close. It may have been as far away as five miles to the NW when it reversed its direction and started traveling back in the direction from where it had come from. Then it too faded down to a tiny orange object, like the others and vanished as well. Hamilton is in a valley that sits at an elevation of around 3,500ft with surrounding mountains between 8,000-10,000ft. I would guess that these objects had to be over 10,000ft in elevation or higher. None of them made any sound that I could hear and it is very quiet here on a Sunday night with almost zero wind at the time.

I was driving, and then out of the corner of my eye is a red-orange circular orb falling to the ground. It lasted for only about 3 seconds, but fell straight down.

Newnan, GA
While driving down the road, my friend and I observed a small extremely fast moving object with a green light blocking the appearance of the object. It was moving towards the ground, but out of nowhere, the green light disappeared and the object was no longer visible. We both said, “Holy ((deleted)), did you see that?”

Kahului, HI
Was driving up country from the Kahului airport in Maui when I looked out the window and saw what looked to be an airplane, but it was moving really fast. I began to point it out to the others in the car when it shot out some exhaust or something and then just disappeared!! Not into clouds or anything , but literally it looked like in star trek when they go into warp speed and disappear!! Wondering if anyone else saw this?

Atlantic Ocean (50 miles off NJ coast), NJ
While riding out 80 miles off of Cape May, NJ, to go fishing in the Canyons, a bright white light flickering red and white was seen above the water, due East approximately 50+ miles offshore, while it could’ve been an aircraft it was visible for well over 30 mins (we were moving at 25mph, aircraft move at 500 mph and would’ve been out of sight quickly). Also thinking it could’ve been a star except that the sun was rising and this was the only thing in the sky and looked too bright for a star, in addition when looking around to try and see anything else around there appeared to be a light right below it was above/on the water. I then searched again for anything else In the sky when I looked back at the spot it was gone.

Rockwall, TX
This picture was taken on Saturday, August 17, at 7:35 pm in Rockwall, TX, 75087. It was taken while facing north, so it was definitely not the sun or the moon. We saw a strange disk shaped object in the sky that was only visible in the photos we took; we did not see it when taking the photos. It was a shiny white object that was seen in multiple photos that we took.

Winchendon, MA
8/17/19 3:36 pm In the sky above Stoddard Pond, Winchendon, MA 01475. As I was sitting on my sofa looking up at the sky, I saw large clouds. I noticed, which appeared to be a small black DOT. I have seen airplanes crossing most often West to East. I have seen helicopter flying. I have seen a drone fly by. I have seen many birds, bats, bees, geese flying over the Stoddard Pond. This small black DOT was first stationary in the south sky, which caught my curiosity. As my eyes were locked on this DOT it began to move heading northwest to our house! But maintaining height. After 5 seconds it suddenly changed direction and turned 90 degrees and sped toward the West. Within 2 seconds, it disappeared from my view. By the time I rushed over to the sliding door it was completely gone. When it turned the DOT became like a hot dog - still black. It happened in complete silence. I told my wife, who was sitting next to me but she could not find it probably because of where she was located due to the window casing. At the exact time this object shot off to the west our house security alarm system was triggered. I tried to shut it off by entering the code which worked for 30 seconds, but it came back again and again. Finally, I shut it off by turning off its electrical circuit breaker. This never happened before. I have never seen any object fly so fast. And in total “Silence”.

Akron, OH
I have no idea who I should get ahold of to help out with my video. On Aug. 17, 2019, at 12:53 pm my friend was outside my house and with his cell phone started taking a video of the sky about 00.07.51 seconds long. He came into the house to look at his video and saw something in the video that he didn't see while filming it. He caught something that flew by so fast it was gone in a blink of an eye. When the counter gets at 0:0:1:08 you have to watch really close to see it pass by. We also put the video on my laptop so we could see it in 360 degree and paused it you can see a bright hole in the sky where it comes from. We have shown a few people the video and there is no one who can explain it and I have no idea what it could be. I think you would really be interested in viewing my video and helping to figure out what it is. Would really appreciate any feedback or help in any way. I know he caught something that we can't explain. It seemed like a smoky object that changed its shape and it was see through.

Salt Lake City Valley, UT
Not sure where to report this anomaly. Atmospheric bright lights and huge explosions likely seen and heard by at least 100,000 people if not many times more. Woke up to an unbelievably bright flash of light then what sounded like the loudest longest lasting thunder I and many ever experienced. The what sounded like thunder lasting and rattling properties for what could be described as perhaps 80 square miles for at least 30 seconds non stop with a following episode shortly after. There were no news reports, no web information other than people ringing in from at least 5 county’s in and around the Salt Lake City and Utah Valley Counties on reddit. https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reddit.com%2Fr%2FSaltLakeCity%2Fcomments%2Fd5eo3k%2Fholy_freaking_crap_was_i_the_only_one_jolted%2F%3Futm_source%3Dshare%26utm_medium%3Dios_app&data=02%7C01%7C%7Cc6e35a03d35e4f0aa71208d73c877cf8%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637044424917789773&sdata=VTcO74guO4imZUoZKCxcU1ev1qFulzwHH3r1FV1Bwf4%3D&reserved=0

I’m a disabled veteran with chronic pain. I was out in my hot tub at around 2:30 am. I am an avid star gazer, and the area around my house is perfect for watching the night stars! On this particular night, I was gazing up into to the night ski. When all of a sudden it flew right into my vision. I was looking south toward Sacramento California, when it came into view, I could clearly see that it was the same type of craft from the movie Predator. Being a propulsion engineer In the navy, and stationed onboard the USS Ranger CVN 61. It was no higher than 5-6 hundred feet from the ground. I immediately look for a propulsion signature as it passed over. There was no noise, no flames, or heat signatures, no wind from engines, to speak of. I live not too far from Beale AFB, it came from that direction. It was a very clear night and I saw it as clear as that seen In predator as it flew over!!!
