I was going to the store and looked up in the sky before getting in my car to see a single light, no blinking lights like on planes or helicopters, zoom past me overhead. I got in my car and followed it on my way to the store. Had no sense of scale for how big or fast the object was moving. It made zero sound, I tried hard to listen for helicopter blades but there were none, nor was there any sound from engines or turbulence. The object made a quick bank to the right almost completely horizontally, and then back to the left before altering it's original course. Why would a plane or helicopter change course and have no blinking lights and make no sound? If I were a pilot i would go straight to my destination, not bank to the right, then the left, then alter my course, it makes no sense.

Hello I’m from logan county west virginia. The sighting occurred on july 13th of 2019. It was a very pretty night out as my girlfriend and I Were outside just hangout on the swing. I was showing her the constellations and where they where located. As I went to point out what I thought was the international space station we noticed a very fast moving object .As we are watching this object it zipped behind a mountain an we thought that was that. Well was I wrong next thing we know we hear like a firecracker wick burning sound and as quick as I could blink this craft what was a oval saucer with a rotating light underneath it is setting right in front of us about 100 Feet in the air. As this craft shot in front of us it knocked the power our from everyone around us. The whole 3 minutes it sat and what seemed like observing us we are looking in amazement knowing what we are witnessing is a UFO. Well we hear the wick sound again then a super loud boom it takes off gliding like a well thrown paper airplane no other sound than the wick burning and loud boom did it ever make as it leaves the area we were in the power was ! restored in the instant it took off . Well we are at the local Walmart about july 28th and a security guard who works there actually overheard us telling some friends about it and interrupted us and ask when this was we said about the beginning of the month she said I bet that it was the same one that knock our power and backup generator out on july 13th annd I’m being completely honest the women had a picture of the exact craft we had seen the exact day we seen it plus the Walmart is only 3 miles away from where we were. I’d like to speak vocally with someone ad I can describe it better in that way than writing it like this . Thank you for your time.

Spokane, WA
Scanning the night sky I caught a moving object above the NE horizon that appeared to be a satellite moving at typical speed. Once I focused on the object I saw a second similar object trailing relatively close behind moving at identical speed. I followed their trail for a few moments then suddenly the lead "satellite" took an acute right angle maneuver with a speed of that of a shooting star and disappeared. The trailing "satellite" a second or two later performed the same maneuver. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Roscommon, MI
I was camping at South Higgins Lake State Park when a large fireball object started to appear across the lake shortly after sunset. This was in the same location that I spotted the same type of aircraft on 7/11/2014. Just like before, the object grew in brightness and intensity, split into a second object and then a third, disappeared and reappeared. This occurred and continued on and off for about 20 minutes. The fireballs were orange in color and incredibly bright! Comparing where we were standing to a map on our phones, it appeared that the lights were above or near Roscommon. I previously thought that Grayling was in that area, however I was incorrect. The object was hovering above the tree line and then would sink below the tree line, however the brightness from the fireball(s) would create a glow behind the trees. Eventually the dancing lights. There were 5 witnesses, all were adults. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Madison, WI
I work as a food delivery driver in Madison, Wisconsin, and on July 13th, at approximately 21:35 hours I had a delivery to make and I happened to glance up into the night sky to the south. I’m used to seeing various aircraft, both Civilian, military and commercial come and go through Truax field. But this didn’t have the typical aircraft light set up with the Red and green navigation lights, nor was there typical landing lights. Plus growing up near Davis Monthan AFB, I knew my aircraft well. This was 4 red lights in a vertical diamond formation, in an up and down diamond, not a horizontal layout. Rather close to each other with no real space in between the lights as an aircraft would have between the wings. The object was hovering in the air, not moving at all. I was at first thinking it was possibly a drone since it was just hovering. It also made no noise whatsoever, unlike a typical light aircraft or commercial aircraft. And it certainly wasn’t a F-16 thats stationed here. Compared to the near full moon, it was maybe a quarter the size of the moon. I continued watching, pulling my car over to watch it more. Two bicyclists peddling past also looked up, but continued peddling north. At that point the object was moving north, and I lost sight of it through some tall trees blocking my view. I moved further south and looked back to see the object heading north. Then stop again. And then it split into two objects, both of 4 red lights. And quickly both sets of lights left the area. One heading north, the other west. It took just a few seconds to lose sight of both. I had viewed the object/objects at most a full 2 minutes.

Slow moving orange glowing ball went across the sky and then suddenly disappeared. Quite a few neighbors were outside and saw it too. Strangest thing i've ever seen! Lasted 5 minutes and it made the news here as my neighbor has a photo of it.

After shopping at Branch hill Guinea Pike Kroger's, we left store to see three large sphere shaped objects with pulsing red light. They slowly hovered going away from each other. One floated down to tree line behind Walgreens across the street and hovered in top of tree. Noticed it was pretty large. Easily man sized. It was no longer blinking.

On Sat evening July 13 2019 my husband and I were at our home sitting in chairs in front of the house facing East at 8:45pm. We could see the moon to the East South East, and it was big but not yet full. It was bright. The sky was dark blue. There were no stars visable yet ,due to the still illuminated sky. At 8:57 I stared at the moon again, this time to see a bright star to the Right of it ( as seen in the video). It was so bright I thought it was a planet. Not knowing my stars, I just wondered. As I spent a minute looking…it started to travel to the Right (south) about the same distance it was from the moon. It only took 5 seconds to cover that distance. Then it dead stopped. It really caught my eye. My husband was now watching it. Then it moved Left , back to the original position. ( Video was taken after the movement) We decided to move inside the house at that point. At 10:25 pm we thought we could find some other stars to look at. We grabbed a white painters cloth and laid it in the backyard , I brought my strong flashlight with me. The sky was black with many stars . Within 1 minute, we again saw a bright star (among many that were visible that night) We were facing the West on a slight incline in the yard. Our heads were higher than our feet on this slope. We were facing Ball Mountain. Within a minute , we found a bright star traveling from right to left.(north to south) Then it stopped. At this point I teased my husband and said,” hey lets call it over, maybe it can see us.” I waved the flashlight up and down and left and right about 5 times, immediately this star started moving in our direction (now it headed East). It traveled quickly and directly towards our part of the sky. When it got close , it stopped. We were really frightened. I was sorry I flashed the light at it. We picked up the cloth and ran into the house. We did not go back outside. We did not speak about it. We do not know what we saw. We don’t want to know. – I do not think satellites change course like that. I don’t know if spy drones fly at night. I am unable to research this to my satisfaction. These flying stars were the brightness and size of a night time star. ( no trails, no other colors) If anyone can explain, we would be grateful.

Canton, OH
Single distinct Rectangular white/metallic object seen in the distant NW sky while traveling northbound on I-77 in Canton, OH. Object was not moving. The object may have had slightly rounded ends. The sky was completely clear and blue, with no plane trails or clouds to note. A patch of trees obstructed view for approximately 5 seconds of drive time (65mph) and the object was not visible again.

Livingston/Atwater (between), CA
I was driving in Livingston when I saw two cylinder shaped objects in the sky. I first noticed them when the sun was reflecting off them. They were both shiny. At first I thought it was a plane with a glider plane following. The second object was trailing behind the first object. Suddenly the object that was following the first, glided under the first object. I followed them to try to get a photo but they disappeared when I reached a clear area.

Observed a still light in the sky, larger than a star but not as bright it appeared closer below cloud level, and then it quickly moved and dissapeared. No trail like a shooting star would have

There was 1 circular object in the sky. It was moving around going higher than lower. This was at night. I am near Love Field airport. Planes are around frequently. This stayed around too long to be a plane.

Putnam, CT
My daughter and I were looking at URSA major and URSA minor. The moon was behind some trees to the left. We saw an airplane pass. Then I saw a tiny dot moving through the sky, then my daughter saw it. I have the starwalk app and it did not detect the moving object as a satellite. The object moves behind a house where we can no longer see it. Then we see a second one, similar in every way.

I was sitting in bed at about 10:30-10:40pm. I looked over at my husband to continue our conversation when I noticed a red blinking light out the window. It was slowly moving upward. After reaching a certain altitude it stopped blinking and stayed still for about 30 seconds then it started to move and blink again as it went slowly across the sky vertically West to South. It started to get smaller then just disappeared as I was looking right at it. As the red light disappeared I noticed a second red blinking light come out of nowhere as if it just turned itself on near the original point of the first light. I went upstairs to my daughters room to show her what I was seeing. It did the same exact thing as the first, slowly moving upward, stopping for about 30 seconds, resuming its movement laterally and blinking then as I was watching it started getting smaller and disappeared. This second light was moving in the opposite direction of the first light, it started in the West but then moved North. I did record video of the second light from my daughters window. I was telling her about the first light I seen as we were watching and recording. The video is approximately 3 minutes long until light goes out. In the video the light appears white however to the eye it was red. I have been living in my house for almost 10 years and never seen anything like this. It didn't move like any aircraft I see normally. I've never noticed an aircraft that moved that slowly or its lights getting smaller then disappearing. I tried checking flights in my area at the time, but couldn't find a site that I could get the information.

In about 3 minutes, they flew upward and off together in formation into the distance (northeast toward Chesnee, SC) and out of sight. We heard no sound. I couldn't see if it was 1 object with 3 lights or 3 separate objects.

Minnetonka, MN
Saw strange lights in the southern sky around 9:40pm from Minnetonka, MN. I was in the trail parking lot near 494 after jogging when my son pointed at the sky and said, “Shooting star! Make a wish.” I turned and saw a streak of light low in the sky, apparently moving fairly slow (I was briefly concerned it was heading in our direction). It began shedding individual lights, which I thought might be a meteor breaking up. Then the streak turned east and split up into 3-4 more lights that spread out and moved back and forth like helicopters circling something. They all gradually descended and disappeared behind the tree-line. I watched for a couple of minutes, but nothing came back up. I’d estimate it was in the direction of Shokapee...distance was very difficult to determine because they were just lights in an otherwise clear sky. Anyway, weird event...the lights certainly didn’t move in a familiar way, but there wasn’t any good frame of reference. Really curious what that was.

Coeur d'Alene, ID
I was remarking to my wife last night how amazing the moon looked. It was about 3/4 full but very crisp and clear in the sky. It was overcast around the moon and as I was looking at the moon an off white oval looking craft was flying faster than airplane. I was curious because there were no con trials behind the craft. I have seen satellites at night and this craft was traveling about as fast. I watched it as it approached the clouds that were pretty high in elevation and the craft went behind them. The cloud cover went as far as I could see so I did not see the craft after going behind the clouds. The craft did change to a darker shade just before going behind the clouds so I though maybe it was going into the earth's shadow. I certainly can say it was not the shape of any aircraft I have seen and that is why I am reporting it. I pointed it out to my wife but she didn't see it.

White Lake, MI
We were driving down m-53 headed from work to get pizza. It was daytime. We all noticed what appeared to be,to me,a rectangle looking shaped object very slowly moving about 300-500 ft above the ground. It resembled a family pool or something floating, mid air. Trying to make sense of it, I looked to see if maybe it was being pulled, like a banner, from the rear of a plane but there was no plane in sight. We had slowed way down at this point. Way too big to be a kite and moving like 5 miles an hour with a smooth progression, I knew I had no way to faxing this thing in my mind. It appeared black/brown in color and as I took note of the color, we were slowly driving so trees were moving in front of it. I noticed it started to angle itself differently. Like a picture frame slowly falling over. It had no visible lights. As it got almost flat, it suddenly dissappear. We pulled into the pizza place seconds later. We re-aquired it miles Away on the horizon, slowly ! moving across the sky again until it went out of view. It was antigravitic, rectangular and moved faster than the eye could see but still, also stood still and creeped along at other times.
