My husband and I were on our back deck which faces east toward Cedar Island, on the Atlantic Ocean. We noticed an orange orb hovering over the ocean. It was quite bright and I grabbed the binoculars. It appeared to have red and blue lights when I looked through the binoculars. It was hovering for about 3 minutes and then blinked out. It was a very clear night, and you could not miss it.

The past 3 nights I've seen a single star-shaped light appear, then fade out. I am familiar with stars and often watch the sky. This star-like light seen three consecutive nights. Low and behold, tonight, in the same spot, as I go out to smoke my pipe, there are 2 lights that appear, one above the other. Both rise slowly, then disappear. Moments later, I saw 4 or five lights in formation flying in that general area, these were flashing. I watched and several lights just disappeared, but one did a circle and flew back from direction it came from. I also heard a jet engine. I wonder if jets were sent to investigate? Why did several 'jets' disappear? Also, I took motorcycle ride yesterday to Alzada Montana then to Hulett, Wy,...I saw two different military-style 'outposts with people inside fenced areas. The second one (100 x 100 feet fenced?) had a amtrak like vehicle with a gun turret? I hear jets flying overhead now 22:12.

Pawleys Island, SC
At approximately 9:40 pm on May 14, 2019, we were sitting on the second floor balcony after dinner. My friend exclaimed “What’s that?” I immediately looked up and saw something in the night sky to the SSE of our location. As soon as I looked up and saw the first lights, which were three horizontal lights, those lights disappeared as if they were “turned off”. As those first lights were turning off, another set of three lights turned on, one at a time, then all three staying on for maybe 20 seconds. Each light was shaped like a thin wide cat’s eye; bright white with an orange glow….I know the exact time as I had my cell phone in m hand and immediately raised it to take a photo; the object doesn’t show in the photo. We sat around speculating what it was and still don’t know. I believe I could see the form of something behind the lights as if the lights were headlights on the object, whether a plane or whatever it is, It did look dark.

Clutier, IA
Was looking to the west and turned to go into my house and looked up to the south and seen a cigar-shaped silver to a whitish craft traveling north at approximately 15,000 ft and moving at a rate less than a jet airliner. I reached into my vehicle to get my binoculars trying to keep my eyes fixed on the craft. I looked down to grab them and it was gone out of sight. I searched the sky and could not see it any longer. I ran into the house to tell my son and father. I ran up to my sons room to share the info. We looked out his upstairs window facing east and spotted it again going from north to south. It was visible for about 10 seconds and went into a cloud and not seen again. We went outside and searched the sky and at approximately 8:45 PM we seen 2 jet aircraft traveling from west to east/ southeast at a very high speed to where the last place we seen the unidentified craft. I am a 48 yr old college graduate with a degree in horticulture science. I am a occasional sky watcher, space station and other interesting things in our sky. This is my first time ever seeing a UFO. My son is a 15yr old high school freshman and is a star watcher and likes to learn about our planetary system.

My son was unimpressed, and my wife didn’t care for anything potentially out of the norm. I went back in and I grabbed my binoculars to see it better but it only made the light slightly bigger and shakier. I went back to the swing set with only one link attached so far, reaching to attach the second link I looked up noticed a second reflective object floating in the sky about 40 degrees NW and a little higher where I normally would not se! e anything. It was twice as bright as the first one. I brought the wife and kids out to see this one too. The wife went to bed and the boys back to their Xbox's as I watched both of these stationary reflective objects as they dimmed away and turned from bright white to red then dark red. Later, as the bats and stars came out at 9:15pm, they faded to nothing. I returned to the backyard the next day earlier this time and to observe the skies to find nothing. Skies were as usual. Analysis: I observed these two objects from 8pm to 9:20pm in Brandon, SD on 05/14/19. The first object was noticeable at about 8pm and about as bright as 2X Venus NW 40 Degrees. At circa 8:15 the second object came into view and was about 3X as bright as Venus and NW70 Degrees and higher of the horizon. The moon was about half and rising at about 135 Degrees. I called my Dad in northern ND and he could see the moon but not the reflective objects. The objects didn’t move that I could tell and didn’t blink. They were bright and faded red as the sun set. I have lived in this house for 8 years and this was certainly a new experience. I have the planets app on my phone and during this time there were no planets in the area. I consider myself above average for astronomical activity and can usually point out planets and constellations. Right now, I don’t know what this was. After searching the internet, I have only three guesses. 1. This was some sort of government stationary (90 Min+) Satellite in the north. Although, a quick internet search says that those are above the equator. 2. It was maybe Jesus and Joseph Smith both just checking on us? Hard to say. 3. It could also just be a glitch. I don’t know. If anyone with more Astronomical experience could tell me what I saw I would like to hear back. SE South Dakota. We should be able to upload pics.

About 3 mins in length I watched circulating white light in a 3-step fashion move around an object, while I drove my car. It had No airplane colors, red or green though around 11pm CST. It was a slow speed of light moving from left to right on the bottom of the object flowing slowly toward the East. I pulled into the gas station and told my friend on the phone. Thank you.

New Orleans, LA
On the evening of Monday, May 13, 2019, in New Orleans, LA, I was facing south/southeast, watching what appeared to be a satellite or the space station transit the sky, east to west, passing almost across the face of the moon (a solid point of light, not blinking, traveling much faster than an airplane, I have witnessed these events many times before) when it made an abrupt turn down and to the right, then back on its original track, before making an equally abrupt turn up and then off on a track perpendicular to the original path. I’ve been watching the night sky since 1987 and have never seen anything like this prior to last night .

BRIGHT LIGHT OUTSIDE OF WINDOW. TAKEN TO A MOUNTAIN TOP. LOOKED UP IN SKY AND SAW STARS IN A PATTERN BLINK ON TO THE LEFT AND THEN STARS IN A PATTERN BLINK ON TO THE RIGHT... SIMILAR TO A CONSTELLAR BUT IN TIGHTER FORMATING. THEN I TURNED AROUND OVER MY LEFT HAND SHOULDER AND SAW A GRAY ALIEN...NOT SMALL. AND I REMEMBER THINKING, OH! AN ALIEN! AND I SEEMED VERY HAPPY. I TOOK HIS HAND, HE SEEMED FRIENDLY AND I THOUGHT. OH! THERE HANDS ARE SOOOO SOFT. THIS THOUGHT WAS VERY PROMINENT IN MY MIND. AND IT I CHATTED TO HIM ALL FRIENDLY AND HE COMMUNICATED BACK. THEN, I NOTICED HE WAS LAYING ME DOWN AND I SUDDENLY FELT PAIN ON MY LOWER RIGHT HAND SIDE AND I TRIED TELLING HIM TO STOP... THAT THERE MOST BE A ROCK POKING MY BACK. THEN, I WOKE UP SUDDENLY IN MY BED AND A BRIGHT, BRIGHT LIGHT FROM THE SKY WAS LIGHTING MY BEDROOM THROUGH THE WINDOW. AND I THOUGHT I MUST HAVE HAD A DREAM... BUT, MY BACK HURT IN THE EXACT SPOT, A DREAM WOULDNT CAUSE ME PHYSICAL PAIN. ! AND AS I LAY AWAKE I THOUGHT, MAYBE ITS JUST THE MOON... HIS HAND WAS REALLY SOFT. I DOZED OFF AND WOKE UP A COUPLE HOURS LATER AND MY BRAIN WAS LOOKING OUTSIDE THE WINDOW TO SEE IF THE LIGHT WAS DIFFERENT IN BRIGHTNESS AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF IT WAS JUST THE MOON. WAS IT JUST A DREAM. I AS I THOUGHT ABOUT IT, I DIDNT ACTUAL SEE ANY SIGNS OF A MOUNTAIN I JUST THOUGHT I WAS ON TOP OF ONE.

Witness was having coffee out front of house with another lady, both witnesses facing north. Spotted something to their left in the sky which looked like it had windows and was shining, moving slowly. It looked like it was rotating, was going straight, no noise, no wings. When it got more in front of them it was either glowing from sunshine or flame. Witness said it must have been as big as a grayhound bus, had seen objects before but never this close.

Burlington/Billerica, MA
Driving on I-95 North this morning on my way to work. To the left around 1/4 Mile away I saw a bright, circular- star looking thing. However, it was much brighter and this morning was very sunny, so any stars could not be seen. It was very bright, almost annoyingly so, you couldn't miss it. I thought it was maybe a silver balloon at first but it didn't move or change brightness in light. Its position in the sky also never changed, it seemed as if it was just a bright ball of light floating in the sky - It stayed like that as I drove towards it for around 2 minutes before flatting like a two dimensional object and disappearing completely- light and all. I kept watching it to see if it might have been a balloon but there was no reflective material or any debris in the sky. Nothing was there at all that I could see. I called my boyfriend right away telling him what I had seen - we both couldn't figure out what it was.

That being said, It was around 2:30 am, the skies were clear at the time. I was looking upwardly West/Northwest at the "Big Dipper" as I do every night. Out of nowhere, what appeared to be one of the many stars in the sky suddenly and silently got extremely bright, brighter than anything in the night sky, then dimmed very quickly until it dissapeared. Earlier in the evening, while again looking at the Big Dipper (towards the east), I saw what looked like a star suddenly start moving to the west then abruptly change direction to the south. It appeared to be moving extremely fast until I could no longer see it. I don't think these two separate sightings in the same night, around the same constellation, seemed like they were coincidental. This marks the third time I've seen something unexplained and unidentified. The first time was witnessed by my wife, kids and myself, was more eventful and lasted much longer but that's another story. Keep looking up!

A large, dark circular silhouette of a craft weaved in and out of the clouds moving south (away from O’Hare) and towards Indiana. We live near typical flight paths, and this was moving against the grain. It sounded like a fighter jet, but quieter. I could hear it cutting through the clouds, but it was completely circular and had no lights on whatsoever. It maneuvered directly up and down, then shot across the sky at a speed I have never seen before. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
