Mill Creek, WA
I was out for a late night walk and saw an object with a string of white lights running along its side, and there were also a few red blinking lights. The sky was too dark to see what shape it was. At first it was moving very slow so I thought it might be an airplane, but then it stopped and didn't move for a long time. Then near it, a large round explosion of bright light flashed for a second, then disappeared, but the object remained. The flash of light was larger than the object. I walked home and could still see it in the sky, but after 20 minutes I went inside. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Austin, TX
Bright lights in northwest sky. There were 6 of them and they reflected sunlight for a few seconds then would disappear then return. They seem to be moving very slowly northwest to southwest. Three of us observed this from near Braker Lane and Burnet Road. Source of report does not indicate a date for the sighting event, and provides no contact information.. We have assigned an arbitrary date and time. PD

Old Town, ME
Orange-colored sphere, flew silently over my house at an altitude of approximately 500 feet. No noise, seemed to be enveloped in a “haze” that resembled heat-waves on the pavement during a hot day. As the object was directly overhead, the light “powered off” and the sphere slowed-down. It was now a metallic-sphere with no light. A light-haze now enveloped the craft. I ran along the driveway watching it. Suddenly, it was just gone. Dogs were barking all over the area.

Shawnee, OK
Was sitting outside looking up at the birds and just enjoying the day as it was a beautiful sunny day. As I'm looking up I see an object appear and is reflecting or flashing in one spot. I hollered at my wife to look as well as it was very high. It then moved to the southeast at a slow rate and would appear to stop occasionally. Still reflecting. It then kept moving southeast and went at a higher speed. Kept getting further away and was reflecting more and was still watching it. As it was getting harder to see due to the distance it did appear to stop again. Lost sight as it moved away. Tried to get binoculars to see it but that did us no good. I was amazed that it was changing speeds versus a satellite moving at the same speed. Also pulled up to find out the location of the space station at that time and it's in the southern hemisphere. So I feel we saw a UFO. Was extremely weird to see.

Columbus, OH
While driving within a shopping plaza in NE Columbus I noticed a black object in the distance which appeared to change shapes. At first I thought it was a massive kite, but as I got closer to the object I realized it was actually somewhere between 8,000-12,000 ft in elevation. I pulled my car into a parking spot and watched the object for roughly another couple of minutes. The object seemed to be stationary although rotation might have been occurring. I snapped 5 pictures with my cellphone before the object was blocked out by cloud cover.

I saw a circle of bright white lights up in the sky looking south towards Lakeville, MN. Remained stationary - did not move. I was on my way into work at 2:30AM. Possibly casino advertising display lights?? PD

Milledgeville, GA
Nights of May 9th and May 12th. May 9th around 12:30am dark figure shape in sky with buzzards moving back and forth fast much larger than the buzzards around it over Central State Hospital. 40 minutes observed this night. May 12th 10pm second sighting. Object drops down breaking tree branches. We went to observe when we seen something in all black around 7 foot in height we assume to be female dart into one of the Central State Hospital buildings. We followed said object as it entered some type of large concrete and metal pipe tunnel system (old hospital water system tunnel maybe). We was unable to follow further due to darkness however we heard it continue to travel down tunnels followed by the echo of a metal gate slamming, observed this night 20 minutes. Phone received power surge damage during May 12th encounter. Nothing else to report and sky was too dark to make better observation.

Fruitland, UT
Circular bright light seen way above our house. Once we started pointing at the light, it shot left through the sky, stopped, then took off and crossed our valley and continued over taby mountain. There was no noise, the craft moved at amazing speeds. My wife and I both observed the event - as it started moving I did get a photo of the object.

Farmington, ME
I was walking down the road and looked up into the sky. I saw a bright blue light. Much brighter than any of the stars but nowhere near the brightness of the moon. It sat there for a couple seconds, and then it shot across the sky leaving a white streak, and then did what I can only describe as punching a hole in the sky. Like it entered a wormhole. And then there was this orange hazy and flowy ring left behind where the wormhole was. The ring expanded a bit and then faded away.

Rocky Point, NC
I was outside walking my dog and saw a bright large orange ball of light high up in the sky. At one point I thought that I could see faint small blue and white lights almost spinning above the orange light. The ball of light began to move erratically up and down and side to side. It almost looked like a video game glitch. I have never seen anything like this before. No airplane moves like that. I ran inside to get my phone to try to record this and by the time I got back outside it was gone without a trace. Nothing else in the sky but stars.

Waynesville, NC
Took my dog out at 9:50. Saw a flashing light coming from the east. It would flash on and off about one second intervals. When the flashing occurred it would leave a trail or more like a tail. I first thought it was a meteor but it was a lot bigger and the flashes were consistent. As it got overhead to my position it changed directions to the left away from me in a sharp rounding type direction and was gone. There was no sound.

Spokane, WA
At 9:45 PM, my fiancé and I were sitting on our porch, and at 211 degrees SW (on our compass) near downtown/lower south hill of Spokane, a bright orange light appeared within our vision. It was moving too fast to be any plane and there was no noise whatsoever ever. The light looked like it was falling from the sky or falling down towards the horizon. The event lasted around 15 seconds and my fiancé and I both saw it. We knew it was something strange because a meteor would have some kind of tail and be moving much faster. But a plane at that distance could not move that fast.

New York, NY
Weather: Sky clear. Sun setting. Their was an object in the sky glittering brightly. Azumuth 130 degrees. When the glittering stopped for a few moments I could see a white light flashing connected to a thin cable. I went inside to get my high powered binoculars to get a better look. I clearly saw an object horizontal that looked like a cable connect to a flashing white light on each end. The light flashed in sync. Total of two flashing lights. Whatever that cable or wire was it glittered with the sun. Over a period of one hour it transitioned from horizontal to vertical. A high altitude jet passed by, appeared to be below its altitude. I reported it as a high altitude weather balloon over JFK Airport to the Port Authority so a NOTAM could be issued to all pilots flying in the vicinity of JFK Airport.

Was coming home after getting gifts for mothers day with my dad when I see a metallic looking craft slowly go across the sky then it vanished. I have no idea if this was mirage. But that day didn't feel warm enough to produce any of those effects coming off the road. It couldn't be that high if it was mirage.

Clearfield, UT
My boyfriend and I went out to the back patio to get fresh air and we were both looking up at the stars when I noticed what appeared to be lights that were moving across the sky. I thought it was a plane at first but the white lights I saw started doing independent maneuvers from each other so it couldn't be a plane. It looked like they were dancing together across the sky in kind of a snake-like configuration. I asked my boyfriend if he was seeing what I was seeing but by that time the lights had been obscured by neighboring trees.

Cascade Locks, OR
While driving home from college from Oregon to Montana, I was in the area of Cascade Locks, Oregon going down the highway at about 55 mph. I glanced up to my right and noticed a perfect silver sphere in the sky next to some hills that I estimate were about 1,700-2,000 ft high. The sphere was closer to 1,000 ft up in the air and it was moving quickly, but in the opposite direction of me and behind a hill. I sped up my car in able to keep looking at it before the hill obstructed my view, but it was moving very quickly and I lost it behind the hill. I saw it for about 7-8 seconds total. My best estimate for the size of this sphere is 2.5 meters in diameter (roughly the size of one of those “human hamster balls”). It looked like a perfect sphere and I did not see any kind of string attached to it. It didn’t leave any kind of trail and it didn’t have any lights, windows or wings that I could see. It was opaque and light silver in color. One observer: 21-year-old female college student traveling from Oregon to Montana
