Azusa, CA
At 2015 on 8/4/19 @ Azusa, Ca, in my residence in the backyard by Interstate 210. Me and my friend were eating and listening to talk radio KFI.At 2036hrs. We both notice a orange light in the air at 2 o'clock coming from the Northeast over the foothills. The object passed over us it was clear to see a bright orange covered triangle shaped object.It looked small from are viewing location and maybe over a 100 feet in the air. The object was flying in a Southwest direction and disappeared. The whole incident took approximately 6 minutes. My background is in law enforcement and security. My friend was Firefighter.

My wife and I saw 2 shining dots in the sky that were side by side at one point, then they’d separate, then again come closer together. I got my binos out and we noticed a transparent ring around them, and also red, green and yellow lights circling around the top of the objects. They disappeared right before our eyes.

Flushing (Queens), NY
TWO GOLD METALLIC CYLINDRICAL OBJECTS STANDING PERFECTLY STILL (NO WIND AT GROUND LEVEL) INTERTWINED CHANGING SHAPE RAPIDLY. FIRST THOUGHT, BALLOONS BUT A COMMERCIAL JET PASSED THE OBJECT (LAGUARDIA AIRPORT IS NEARBY) GIVING ME A GOOD ESTIMATE OF IT'S SIZE. IT WAS LARGER AND HIGHER THAN THE JET!!!! THE OBJECT GRADUALLY GAINED ALTITUDE AND DISAPPEARED.

East Olympia, WA
It was a dark cylindrical object. It was traveling from the north to the south. Clear blue skies. It rolled, and turned when it did it glinted metallic. Not a loose banner, not a bunch of balloons. Something very odd, no sound. Observed for 20 minutes or more

Yukon, OK
When walking outside we saw a boat looking object speeding across the sky. It had a very strange orange glow to it and upon focusing on it it had three large flames burning on it. Once it was noticed another object exactly like the first but much closer also came speeding across the sky. It too was boat shaped and had three large flames burning on what would be like the “deck.” Although there were flames coming from it they weren’t on fire because they continued to fly until out of site traveling from West to East. The bizarre thing was the three flames coming off the objects were almost cartoon like. They each maintained a single flame like shape which never varied and they all put off a huge orange glow which was consistent and did not flicker. It was not a meteor or firework as they did not have a downward trajectory nor did they make a sound. They remained flying at the same height and maintained a forward trajectory.

Vancouver, WA
What at first appeared to be bright star suddenly popped up. It was oval shaped and had red and white and green fast moving lights, much much faster than a plane. It wobbled in a very strange way and sort of seemed to drunkenly stagger around in its movements and then moved slowly away in the opposite direction.

Duxbury, VT
two of us were watching the stars at 4am when we both jumped at the sight of a fast moving circle flashing gold, red, blue, and green extremely fast. The body traveled across the sky and seemed as though it was able to zig-zag through the air. i did not really believe that aliens had any involvement with earth until i saw this. the light was bigger than the stars and bigger than the lights from satellites and planes. When we tried to video, our phone could not pick up the light.

Fish Haven, ID
Was watching stars at 3am on a boat dock. Really clear night. No nearby light pollution from cabins or anything since we were about 300 yards out into the lake. Super clear night. Was beautiful stars. Me and one other both noticed a light fly by at the same time. Way up in the sky. Definitely outside of the atmosphere to eliminate the possibility of it being a plane, drone, etc. It also changed direction and speeds at random. It would fly one direction for 1-2 seconds then stop. Then change directions and fly a few more seconds. Then stop. Sometimes the lights would pulse, sometimes they were off. Sometimes it would change direction while the light was off then it would appear off to the side. The speed and quickness it would change directions (not fly only straight) eliminated any possibility of it being identifiable. It was too high up to see any detailed characteristics. Couldn't really tell the shape or size. But 100% was flying, had lights, was fast, and would fly in different directions. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Idaho Falls, ID
I was outside snake river t Idaho falls, it was around 2:50 am , I saw 5 circular lights that were in a formation , they were still for about 3 seconds then they started picking up speed and flew southwest, then I waited for 10 seconds then I saw 2 of them and they went the same direction but 2 faster than the other
August 3, 2019 · 11:15 PM · FLASH
Brookneal, VA
While stargazing tonight I observed 11 satellites, 13 meteors and a high altitude formation of two military aircraft. Their course was roughly 090 as hey were likely headed to NAS Oceana. About five minutes later I noticed a bright but small flash south of the Jets course. A moment later, there was another flash further along suggesting the object had traversed a great distance before flashing again suggesting the that the object had moved a good distance between flashes. I immediately thought it was odd and anticipated a third flash but it did not come. I searched with my binoculars and could not find a source. I thought perhaps they were flares from another jet perhaps associated with the formation I had just seen. But there was no lingering burn descending to earth. I am a private pilot and well connected with DoD types as well as amature radio. By no means am I a sensationalist. However, these flashes were an oddity in all my years associated with the sky.

Livingston, TX
One bright orange sphere was traveling SE, at a steady pace, in the NW sky, at about 45 degrees. No sound, no pulsing or blinking lights, much larger than stars and as bright as a street light. Clear night with minimal cloud coverage.

Lewis, IA
As I was standing outside in my yard, there was a very bright white orb hovering closer to the ground than most domestic planes do, maybe a few thousand feet. It did this for less than 10 seconds before jetting up and off at an incredible speed before disappearing.
August 3, 2019 · 10:15 PM · LIGHT
Willard, OH
At about 10:15 pm tonight, August 3, 2019, over Willard, Ohio, a pair of orange lights were seen moving very slowly in parallel with each other as they crossed in the night sky in somewhat of an arc from southeast moving northwest for a short distance before disappearing. Two more similar lights followed within a few seconds, following roughly the same path and again disappeared. There was no noise. The lights were steady, not blinking.

Harrisburg, MO
There are no clouds in sight tonight. I walked outside and saw a white light in the southeast moving east. It wasn't flashing at all and quickly vanished out of sight. The light seemed to get smaller and vanished on a clear night.

Vienna, WV
Looking south at Venus in the night sky, noticed a bright sphere rapidly rising from the horizon, then quickly disappearing as it gets close in the sky to Venus. It reappeared again about 25 min later in the west as a bright flash, and as soon as it lit up it vanished. It appeared to be making a 90 degree when it lit up making almost like an ell shape trail. The object was as bright as Venus in the night sky. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Looked up over Toy Story on screen and saw a steady moving white dot with no flashing lights. As it approached the tree line, while it was still visible, it faded out.

Louisville, OH
Looked like a flaming ball shooting fireballs off it then it turned and sped off to the South, no way it was a plane or meteor

West Chester, OH
There were approximately four lights flying in the air in some kind of formation and changing formation from straight line to a v and so forth. As it happened the objects white lights turned on and off continuously and towards the end, many more white lighted objects appeared. There was a helicopter or airplane flying back and forth as this was happening. When we zoomed in on the video we took, the objects appear to be disc shaped and lit from the bottom up very quickly. We could see it frame by frame.was odd. As all the lights began to appear to lower down together, it looked like each object was exploding into a small firework then reappearing. White, green, and red explosions that were short lived until it disappeared and was just gone.

Huntington, WV
The object appeared Saturday night, August 3, 2019, at approximately 9:23PM (ET). I was sitting with my wife on my patio facing NW, close proximity to the Ohio River, when I saw a large bright circle heading south. My location is in a rural area surrounded by rolling hills and forest. I immediately pulled out my smart phone and started recording. I have the entire event on video with audio. Within only a few seconds the object was almost directly overhead, moving fast and it appeared to be glowing orange. The speed of the object appeared to be similar to a jetliner. Over the next 30-40 seconds, the object continued south and flickered briefly, then disappeared entirely. In this area, we see a lot of falling stars, satellites, and aircraft. This was unlike anything we've ever seen. More unusual was the object appeared to be guided rather than falling.

After a couple minutes, I glanced in my driver's side mirror and all four blew up like colorful fireworks and disappeared. Thank God for this beautiful sight!

Deerfield Townsship, OH
At 9:17 pm, I took a picture of the moon at sunset. A few seconds later I looked to the west and saw 4 bright circular lights, moving away at speed. They appeared to be moving up and down as they moved directly away from me toward the west. The picture I took shows the objects I saw.

West Chester, OH
I had just gotten dinner at a restaurant when off in the distance in the direction of Tylersville, I saw 4 white balls of light in a slightly bent arc hovering in the sky. Their formation slowly morphed and moved to a more complete arc. A little higher up in the sky I saw two balls of light that were separate from the other pack. I took a video of the event and am willing to share .

Apopka, FL
Object was due East of me visible just over my neighbor's roof line. Object looked stationary for a while. It then slowly went away to the East. No sign of heat or vapor trail. Was not a plane, helicopter or launch from Kennedy. No signal towers in this direction either. Photo taken with a 18-400mm lens at full zoom. Photo has not been cropped or altered.
