Hawaii Kai, HI
Me and my cousin driving from Sandy Beach towards Hawaii kai saw strange lights (red and blue) on the side of the mountain near the range. Big as a helicopter no sound thinking it’s a drone no one around. We literally almost crashed because it was clear as days. It was like a triangular shape with red and blue lights. We stared it down for a good 5 minutes then we got to suspicious of it we turned around and it was gone like it was never there. What are the odds that a missing person search is happening at Sandy Beach and a ufo sighting was near the spot. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Staring into the sky from back porch and saw what looked like a star moving. It was orangish in color. I ran in to grad my daughter and she saw it too. It traveled down and disappeared into space. On a map I would saw it would have been over the valley of fire.

Dallastown, PA
I've seen this bright light for the past 10 years in dallastown/spry area. It is erratic, moves backwards. Forward, up, down and is rather quick. When I first saw it. I thought it was a Satlelight or the ISS. but the way it moves is very quick and the motions are like its floating.

Otis Orchards, WA
I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t fall back asleep so I was just staring out my window. There was what I thought was a plane that was very far away or a star because when I first saw it it was blinking kind of like a plane or a distant star would. But I realized that it was moving but it wasn’t moving like a plane at all which is what caused me to continue watching it. Eventually the light stopped blinking and just stayed lit. The movements seemed to be very random. The best way I can describe it is that it was moving very slowly from the south to the north and it would randomly make sudden up and down movements. Then after watching it for about 45 minutes the objects light all of a sudden faded very fast and it was gone.

I was lying in bed, looking out the window (although I was NOT half-asleep) when I saw a bright blue light (much brighter than a plane) flash twice, then disappear, then reappear and flash another two times, and then it left my field of view. It was moving fast, much faster than a plane. My guess is it would traverse the entire sky in 10 or so seconds. I would think it was a meteor, but meteors don't flash multiple times at the same brightness, and I would think it was something like the ISS but the ISS was not visible from my location at the time. Maybe some sort of secret SpaceX launch? Anyway, I'm not super sure this was an alien craft, I just wanted to put this out there in case anyone in the area saw something similar.

Prudenville, MI
Approx. 10:45 pm EDT, 7/5/2019. 5 miles SE of Houghton Lake, MI. Three green lights in a row moving slowly across the sky, almost directly overhead. The center light was solid, other two were flashing. We initially thought it was an aircraft, but I noted to my father that all the lights were green. He immediately checked FlightTracker on his phone - no aircraft in the vicinity. We continued watching the lights which appeared to be slowing, almost stopped. Then all three lights jumped instantly to a different location in the sky, three times in about ten seconds, the resulting locations forming a diamond pattern. Then while still, all three lights flashed yellow to red three times, turned solid green, then began moving W/SW at a tremendous speed. Not knowing how large or how high this anomaly was, we estimated that if this was the height of an airliner at cruising altitude, the speed would be approx. 2400 mph. My father and I continued watching the completely silent anomaly move out of sight.

Kenneth City, FL
The sky was partly cloudy but not where the “burning orange/red circle” was at. We waited outside and stared in amazement at first for a few seconds while this light was flickering... it looked like it was fighting the clouds but there were none. I’ve seen several shooting stars in my day and they’ve only usually last about 20-30. seconds tops. We were outside watching this for at least 4-5 minutes. So long that even a smaller commercial aircraft flew past this burning light heading opposite way and dwarfed the burning light making it look like the burning light was way higher in the sky. There is an Air Force Base in Tampa so who knows. But i know whatever my son and daughter and myself saw, was pretty cool. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Los Angeles, CA
I was in my apartment in Hollywood near the base of Runyon Canyon watching the news coverage of the latest 7.1 earthquake that shook us last night. My apartment balcony looks south and there was a helicopter hover just to the south. It looked like a police helicopter but it had no spotlight on not were there many lights at all. I think there was maybe one red strobe but I could see the helicopter from the light from the city illuminating it. As I was watching it and wondering why it was just staying there I saw two small white objects flying in a curve around and passed the helicopter though I think they were a lot higher. There were no lights and I could see them by the light of the city reflecting off of them. At first I thought there were white birds but they were moving way too fast and their formation stayed perfect. They were flying in a diamond like formation with one slightly in front of and next to the other. As they came out of the curved f! light path they then straightened up and flew west and disappeared in the clouds.

I was attempting to take photos of fireworks at our county fairgrounds with my phone. I was reviewing my photos the next day when I noticed the streak of light above left of a single burst. My son had been video recording the event. He reviewed his video and found the object 'flash' through approximately 2-3 seconds of video. Each appearance lasted about 1-2 tenths of second, according to our phone video time counter

Driving north on 130 toll road, craft with green trail went over at an alarming speed. And not it was not an airplane. Too fast and that green trail was odd. Passenger in front seat saw it, too, as did my 11 y/o son.

Ouray, CA
Today, I was in my room in one of our vacation houses watching a movie on my laptop. I had my window open because it was getting hot when I started to hear my neighbor's tarps start to flap and the trees right outside sway. I thought it was just a breeze but then all of the sudden a constant flow of wind strong enough to push my blinds almost to my ceiling occurred. About 2 seconds after that happened the double doors (made of glass) in my room started to light up. The doors are covered by a thin sheet due to a window on the other side and I was trying to block out sun light. This light was powerful enough to go through the window through the sheet and into my room. The whole thing lasted about ten seconds not fast enough for me to get up and look out the window but after i got up and looked outside there was no breeze no firework signs it was quite. There was no noise except during this for the items affected by the wind. No firework pops or bangs. Me being skeptical I figured it was just a gust of wind but then I smelt a terrible sulfur smell and a burning metallic smell. This lead me to google where I found out a lot of people report the same smells as I did. This all occurred about 10 minutes before it was pitch black.

Phoenix, AZ
Around 8:50-8:55 there were LOTS of lights falling from the sky. I was driving with my fiancé from Cottonwood to Mesa, and I believe I was on the 101, traveling south, somewhere between the 51, and the 202. I noticed the first, and brightest, of all of the objects, and quickly woke my fiancé so that he could see it as well. At first, it looked like a huge falling star/firework (bright flaming rock with a sparkling tail), but it lasted a really long time (around 20 seconds), and it’s flight pattern was weird. It was falling straight down for about 6 seconds, then shot right back up (2-3 seconds), fell down again in a zigzag pattern (2-3 seconds), shot straight up again (2-3 seconds), then made a hard right turn in the middle of the sky and travelled a little ways (about 3-4 seconds) before burning out. I told my fiancé to grab his phone and start filming, and he tried but said that the camera wasn’t picking them up very well, but I kept insisting that he try. Seconds after the first light disappeared, it was followed by another similar light that originated out of nowhere, high in the sky, but must have been at least 3 miles apart as the crow flies. Then another one appeared in the opposite direction. Then another miles apart, and so on. No rhyme or reason to where they appeared. There must have been at least six of these lights back to back, and all popping up in random places, miles apart. . Meanwhile, there were LOTS of planes/jets that looked like they were circling the area. At first (for a very brief second), I was thinking that maybe they were some sort of flare… but flares last for a while (about 5-10 minutes), and hover in one place before burning out. I’ve seen plenty of flares from the Gila Bend Air Force while living in Ajo, and those flares are completely different than the lights that we saw. Even the colors differ. The last one was really strange. It dropped down SUPER low (about fifty feet above some houses), and then, before hitting the ground, it leveled out, turned right, and coasted above the houses for a few seconds until it fizzled out. That would have been the perfect one to catch on camera, but unfortunately, when my fiancé tried to view the video afterwards, he realized he hadn’t been filming whatsoever. I did some research, and there were similar reports in Florida the day before, and they were saying that it could possibly be remnants of a Chinese rocket… But since when did remnants have a mind of their own and move up, down, and sideways?

Santa Fe, NM
The craft was first spotted after sunset in a completely stationary position about four fingers below the crescent moon, flashing as a very bright rectangle. After a minute, it adjusted to a higher position, arcing a bit to the west. After a couple of minutes at that unwavering station, the craft very quickly moved diagonally down towards the horizon where the sun had just set ten to fifteen minutes earlier. The most striking elements were the regular period and the brightness of the flashing light, and the speed and precision in which it moved.

Bainbridge Island, WA
Date: July 5, 2019 2:07pm It was lowest tide of the year so my parents Dad 83 and Mom 83 took my sister 54 and her husband 52 and their son 18, two daughters 21 and 19 with my two youngest 7 and 6 down to the beach to comb for sealife you normally don’t get to see because it’s usually underwater. I had driven separately and arrived to the beach late around 2:00 after the family had been down there for a while and were venturing slowly up the rocky beach towards me as i came down the path to the beach. I walked quickly towards my parents who were sitting together on a bench above the beach on a grassy ledge overlooking the water and my Mom asked if I had seen /heard what they had just seen /heard up in the sky. They had and they both described a strange shaped flash of light that just disappeared and made a strange rolling sound ?!? At that moment my sisters son; from the beach below, pointed in the same direction as my parents and shouted”Oh look, a saucer”. I quickly reached for my phone and realized it was not in my back pocket where it usually was. I had left it up in the truck so I ran as fast as I could back up to the path to the parking lot open the door and grabbed my cell phone and ran back down the path all of which took me probably about one minute. I took out my phone and instead of taking low resolution video I decided to take as high-resolution photographs as I possibly could and started clicking clicking clicking in the direction of which I had seen the pop of light. Aiming at the clouds I had seen the objects near previously. I’m taking these photographs and I’m looking around and I noticed the rest of my family all looking out there as well - seemingly entranced by what they were looking at. Very strange shape; it’s a small silver disc with a little white oval or cigar shaped spark that follows near it darting all around. It seems to shutter or skip across the sky, you get a glimpse of it in one place and then a slight glimpse of it again and then suddenly it’s in the whole new place far far down the length of the sky. All in the blink of an eye. As we all collectively watch the disc suddenly seems to slow and the white cigar or tic-tac shaped spark seems to stop and fire a white thread like white beam that opens a white square and with it another silver disc seems to pop in or out of the square and then shoot off as the white tic-tac shaped light disappears quickly after them in the same direction.

Bridgewater, NJ
At 12:45 4 objects were seen in the sky. The objects were completely black and seemed to float. They maintained proximity of each other. The best description would be something like a plastic bag floating or a very light burnt paper, but we could see they were definitely not bags or papers. Initially we thought they were birds but quickly realized they weren’t. No wings, no defined shape, no flying. Just gently flowing in the sky going up and away from us.

Had contacted you in April last year, 2018, regarding a strange spider like craft, or more like a surveillance entity with an opaque oval nucleus, and 8-12 wavy wire- like legs, darker than nucleus, with each having a black 1-2 cm disk on the ends. This thing scampered across ceiling and disappeared into the wall where ceiling and wall converge. I gave a time for the 7/5/19 incident, but was not by my phone or a clock. I’d guess it was around 1-3 am since it was totally dark outside. No lights or tv was on inside. I was on a sofa on my back asleep and suddenly awoke to the same kinds of lines or “legs” fanning out bout 2’ from the end of sofa... so less than 3 ‘ from my feet. There were no black disks on the ends, same guess on number ..8-12 lines....curvy or wavy.. about 10” in length... all same length. Before I could sit up, the entity faded away in the same place....didn’t travel like in Cle Elum. (I have since sold the Cle Elum home, but nothing related to the 4/4 incident) Since it dissipated, I couldn’t see if it branched out of a nucleus where I would assume the legs more or less converged together (??) since they fanned outwards and slightly waving motion... No sound or illumination. I checked “emitted beams” because those legs could have been (??) Just for info., I was pet sitting (no reaction from dogs in adjacent room) and I have since stayed a few more nights in the same home, but with no oddities that I’m aware of. Also, just to know, I was not under any influence of any drugs or alcohol, which I do not consume on any habitual basis. I saw what I saw again, and it somehow awoke me. I get that it was harmless, taking readings ...and this probably goes on with thousands of others, wether they realize it or not.

I tried taking a video and I thought it was going successful until I got back into my car and the video was messed up. I was shook and excited by the experience. The fireball moved quickly and was very close the the land-comparitively to any aircraft. It also made absolutely no noise.

On the 5th of July, left over fireworks tend to be used by neighbors around the area. I sat on my porch and observed the scattered fireworks crackle in the sky. However, unlike the expected movement of light with any firework (a ball of light going up, reaction/crackle in the sky, slowly trickles down) I saw something that moved very differently. What I saw was a small red or orange circle going up in the sky at a 45° angle (or at a slope) extremely fast. Mind you this sighting was a few seconds, but as this ball of light continued to travel it suddenly stops and a flash of light appears or opens up in the sky. As the flash of light was about to close or disappear the light (or ball of light I don’t know at this point) continued its straight path and also disappears. There was no sound, just a visual, and again this was a few seconds. The closest thing I can use as an example would be a reference to the light speed scene in Star Wars The Last Jedi - Holdos Sacrifice.
