The first instance was sitting on a balcony overlooking the ocean, then my bf and I saw an amber colored ring of light in the sky seemed to come at us quickly, because it was gaining size. I want to stress, ive never seen that color of red/orange in the sky...ever. In the blink of an eye it was gone. Approximately 7 minutes later, 3 red lights in the shape of a triangle just appeared. Totally different than the first we had JUST seen. It looked similar to a constellation you’d see in the sky, only the lights were red initially then “fade blinked” to white. And by “fade blinked”, think of text bubbles on IMessage. Craziest night of my life. Worth noting, we were sober.

Mystic Island, NJ
Flashes of bright white lights from the sky, shot straight down in succession three times, about (roughly) 3-4 minutes apart, each time. Much wider in width than lightning and lasted longer than lightning. Like flashes of a wide dome of light is the only way to describe this. With no clear beginning/place of origin. Radiant light.

Lake City, MS
Object was seen in the southwestern sky at approximately 6,000 to 10,000 feet. Clouds were sparse. Object appeared very briefly for 1-2 seconds. It looked like the silver fuselage of a large aircraft. No wings were seen. I was expecting the aircraft to turn and show its silhouette. It vanished. There was no con-trail or other vapor from it. There was no sound.

I live near the main airport here. And my job has route that fly above and near me. This orb of light i would call seemed to be using the sun as cover. I knew it was watching me. It tried to hide behind a tree once I spotted it. Like it darted and came to a complete stop. Its movements were as if you were to move computer mouse and watch the arrow move. Very swift and precise. I was running to get my phone playing my music. I knew I wouldn't make it. So, I stopped and watched it just fade away. I have seen this odd orb before. When I have seen this type it sometimes splits into 3 orbs and takes off. I don't like to call it a UFO. It makes me look/sound crazy. But this wasn't of earth. And it's easier to dismiss than to prove fact. I don't have many I can tell this to that believe me. So here you go. Hope someone else saw this. Just so I help you feel less crazy. You aren't. The earth is not what we think.

Walden, VT
In the early morning hours, I woke out of a dead sleep to go to the bathroom. When I went back to my room something told me to look out the window. I saw a triangular craft with one beaming light and two other flashing lights. What caught my attention of it was it’s movement because it was erratic and then it slowed down almost like it saw me watching through the window. I don’t remember what happened after that, except I lost two hours of time and woke up standing in front of the same window I was observing the craft from.

Staunton, VA
On the evening of Monday, May 6th, in Staunton, Virginia, at around 10:36 pm, I took my dog outside my house (in the backyard) for his final evening constitutional. My backyard faces North / Northwest, (towards Bridgewater and Harrisonburg, VA) and it was a clear night and I could see the usual evening stars. As I waited, I glanced above the house directly behind mine (about 40 yards away, uphill). Over the roof, I saw what looked like the letter A without the connecting line in the middle hovering above the house. I looked up the name of this shape and it is called a Chevron (an inverted V). The shape seemed to be an equilateral triangle with only the right and left sides lit at equal intervals. The shape was about 1/6 or 1/7 the size of the roofline. I could not gauge how far away the actual object was, but know my eyesight would preclude an object that was too far away. I did not have my glasses on (I am nearsighted). I just figured it was a plane in the distance because the multi-colored lights twinkled independently of each other. As I stood still and tried to make sense of what I was seeing, I noticed that the actual object was not entirely stationary. It would move upwards a bit, then hover for about 30 seconds or so, then move a bit to the right, and then hover for about 30 seconds or so. Then move back to the center and hover, then down to the left and hover. The movements were smooth, repetitive, and in a subtle pattern. It reminded me of an intricate dance centered in one area. After about 2 minutes, I realized that it if the object were a helicopter, I would have been able to hear it. It was quiet outside, and the object was no smaller or larger than it had been minutes before. No planes would have still been the same size, or would be hovering. Goodness! I became more focused on what I what seeing. I could see the center top and both bottom lights were white and flickering, rather than flashing. From the bottom (right to left) the lights were subtly various colors: white, blue, red, yellow, white (center top), greenish, yellow, blue, and white (left). It was if all the lights were really white, but every once in a while, colors were rotated in with the white, at an independent speed from the other lights. I moved my head back and forth to determine if maybe I was seeing light through tree limbs or branches, and that is why it appeared to dance, but that did not make a difference. The A-shaped thing was subtly moving, and it made me happy, dancing like that. I realized it wasn’t anything I could explain away. Even though there were tall evergreens and trees nearby, they did not come between the object and me. I ran inside my house (with the dog) to grab my cell phone (charging in the kitchen), and took it back outside to video. I stood there videoing the object for about 2 minutes – and during that whole time I could see the object with my eyes, but the IPhone which normally takes excellent videos, showed nothing. I tried again, and the videos came up black, with me talking and black screen, only. I ran back inside, this time I turned off all exterior lights (garage and porch) the dog came with all three of my cats, this time, and I ran back out to try again. I spoke as I videoed again, and again, I could see the A object clearly, but the camera didn’t seem to record anything. The object was still dancing and flickering. I took 3 more videos. After about 9 minutes of witnessing the object I noted that all lights seemed to be attached (it seemed like one object, not many) as they stayed equidistant the entire time. The experience was very peaceful and happy. When I looked down, my 3 cats and 1 dog were all standing or sitting quietly by me. Anyone with cats and a 2 yr.-old dog knows this feline behavior never happens. I took 5 videos in total, and all the videos have me talking with a blank/black screen with no images at all. I ran back inside the house, all the animals followed me, and I grabbed my glasses. I left the critters inside and ran back outside in the dark. This time the object was nowhere to be found. There was suddenly white cloud cover where the object had been, and a few clouds that seemed luminescent with a slight glow. I don’t know where the clouds came from? The rest of the sky was clear. I went back inside for the dog one and took him back outside one final time and he started running in the yard, in circles like a crazy thing (which he can do when he gets excited). This darting around is hard on a leash holder. I kept looking up but saw nothing else interesting. The dog kept running to and for in a spastic way, and I suddenly felt a little unnerved. Why was he crazy like that? I moved back inside, locked all the doors, and checked on the animals. They were fine. I did not go out again.

Auburn, IL
Saw two ufo's tonight, possibly three, on the north-west side of Auburn, looking towards the west. Two were up relatively high and a ways apart. One was lower and closer. They just looked like bright lights in the sky, but a bit too far away to make out actual shapes. They were just hovering and flashing red, green, blue, yellow and white, we watched the lower one about 20 minutes or so, then it just disappeared. The other was higher up and farther away, but looked the same as the other lower one, flashing different colors. Then a solid reddish light seemed to come out of that one and flew off pretty fast, then it spread out into what looked like three lights, one solid red and a flashing white and red light. and flew off. When we left where we were, the higher up one was still hovering there in the same spot. There were 5 witnesses to this.

Twin Falls, ID
I am an educated female of 57 years old who often takes in the happenings of the sky and on 5/8/19 around 8:45pm; I endeavored to take a few shots of what was an aurora-like sunset (towards the Snake River Canyon in Twin Falls, ID, Latitude 42.562786, Longitude 114.460503) and after returning to the shop where I work to take a better look at the pictures I noticed a bright green oval-like object in the upper center top part of the image. I went back out to the same POV and zoomed in on same subject of clouds and tree framed in the earlier shot and was unable to see the same green object. We haven't seen the photo, but we suspect that the green thing may be a lens flare, caused by pointing a camera at a bright source of light. PD

El Paso, TX
My friends and I were returning home, traveling north on Rte 54 (Patriot Freeway). At about 3:01 pm I noticed a fighter jet taking off from Biggs Airfield at Fort Bliss, El Paso, TX. As I watched it ascend, it began to turn East away from me as it climbed rapidly. I thought its flight path unusual, and continued to watch it ascend towards a bank of clouds above it. The jet turned so sharply that its wings were vertical to the ground as it made a U-turn back towards the South. Then I noticed an object hovering just below the clouds over Biggs Army Airfield. I recognized it as a UAP or UFO, and grabbed my cell phone camera. It took me a few seconds to get the camera operating. By that time the jet was rapidly closing the gap with the UAP. In response, the UAP began to back up and move away from the approaching jet. I was stunned! I aimed my camera and pushed the shutter button, but my cell phone camera did not respond fast enough. Suddenly both the UAP and jet both disappeared. The photograph time is 3:03 pm, taken just after the jet and UAP disappeared. I asked my friend, who was driving, and he said he didn't see it. He is an audio witness to my sighting. I have no idea what happened to that jet. The picture shows the scene with the distant Hueco Tanks Mountains and sacred Cero Alto Mountain (tallest) in the background to the East. The picture recorded the date and time of the photograph, and even GPS location of our car at 3,000 Gateway North Boulevard (access road to the Patriot Freeway). Visibility was excellent at 10 miles. I overlaid the photo with an image of what type of UAP/UFO I saw and the type of jet, as best as I could make out from four miles away (map distance). I added dots to mark the path of the jet as it made a high-angle U-turn towards the UAP/UFO. I posted this picture and account on my Facebook profile, and had a number of responses. Ted Roe of NARCAP made an interesting comment: T. R. (NARCAP) My guess.... plane was too close when the ufo bolted, inside the envelope when it jumped. Probably carried the plane with it to where ever it was when it stopped... F18.... I watched one pursuing an object that appeared to be 2 silver spheres connected with a thin bar.... it left instantaneously but the plane wasn't that close.

Franklin, TN
A friend and I were on our smoke break In Franklin, Tn (near Nashville), when we noticed a flying white object in the sky. It looked like to could have 3 wings around the circle object but it was moving too fast to see. We first saw these white fluffly things falling from the sky is what made us look up when we noticed the flying white object. It was going too fast to be a plane or helicopter. It was going all over the sky. We first thought we were seeing things, but we were out there for about 15 mins and it was still flying around. I am not sure what this could have been, so I decided to search google that’s when I found your website.

it was a bright green light that flew straight south direction at an incredible speed. Was thinking it was a meteor, about to enter the atmosphere, when it disappeared.

Delta, AL
We also noticed bright dots at high speeds and would suddenly stop or disappear. I felt dizzy, nauseated, ear ringing. We heard a humming sound, coyotes making a weird bark or howl and owls making strange hoots. Little pieces of tree debris scatters campsite, but yet no wind. Air pressure very heavy.

Duluth, MN
Over the Lake Superior Bay/I35 corridor in West Duluth I observed two rows of lights--Red and green alternating in a boomerang shape. I live on the 13th floor so the lights appeared very close to me. It appeared to be ONE object as they all moved at the same time within the same space. It moved a short distance, --Probably a few hundred yards-- Very quickly, and then back in a split second. I watched until I was bored with it. When I returned to the window several Minutes later, it was gone. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Lakeville, MN
On May 5th, 2019 I was dating a guy in Lakeville, MN, just south of the Twin Cities where I lived. I can’t remember where we were going or what we were doing (we didn’t date for very long), but I remember being in the passenger seat of his car driving down a dark road around 11:30 at night. Then I looked to my right once the trees parted and saw this circular string of lights hovering in the distance over a field or neighborhood. It looked like it was only a mile or so away, but not was a foggy night so it wasn’t especially clear. I snapped a quick picture to verify what I was seeing and show my boyfriend, but I didn’t think much of it after that. Now that the government has officially acknowledged the existence of UFOs and potential of extraterrestrial life, I wanted to submit the photo in the odd chance that it is helpful in any way.

Fishers, IN
My dad and I were driving as I noticed 3 bright white “things” flying in a triangle formation. At first I figured they were planes, but their flight pattern was inconsistent, almost as if they were hovering around or flying like birds. So then I assumed maybe they were birds. But I see birds flying around everyday and they just weren’t the same. They looked too big to be birds, and were SO shiny, and moved to fast to quickly (at speed of planes w/ flight of birds). When I first saw them I’d say they may have been 7-10 miles down the road (if looking up) then within the 3 minutes were 20-30 miles away (give or take). They would all shine extremely bright, but then all at the same time would fade and disappear into an almost translucent state. Then they would shine again extremely bright, and turn translucent again. This happened 3-4 times and was consistent. Their flight pattern was in perfect triangle formation, but at one point they slowed down, almost to a stop and rotated around one another, then kept going back in their perfect triangular shape. They continued on and disappeared from sight. My dad also saw them but not for as long as I did. Though he also had no explanation for it. We talked about it for a while, trying to come up with what it could have been, and we think either ufo or some sort of government exercise with something we don’t know about. I’ve seen a lot of birds and a lot of planes, but this just didn’t fit. It was weird!! Unfortunately, I didn’t get a video.. I know that’s a big part of legitimacy, but I didn’t want to miss anything for myself. I just want to share this experience so that if anyone else saw this, they know they aren’t the only ones who did.

Peoria, AZ
On Sunday, May 5th, I was on my boat at Lake Pleasant, Arizona. I had spent the night on the boat and was almost ready to go back to the dock. I was about ¼ mile north of the 4 lane launch ramp at the north end of the lake. At 8:30 am I was drifting with a slight breeze from the north, pushing me toward the dock to the south. I had a line in the water, fishing, with a large brimmed hat and polarized sunglasses. The weather was sunny and clear, typical Arizona. I glanced up, looking south, and noticed what I at first thought might be some spiderwebs caught between my fishing rods, which were mounted on either side of the console. Whatever it was, it was diffuse, and somewhat hard to distinguish, much like the sun looks glinting off spiderwebs. Its relative size was about that of a full moon, about the size of an aspirin tablet at arm's length. It was completely stationary. After a few seconds I thought what I was seeing might be some reflection hitting my sunglasses. I moved my head up and down, trying to determine where a reflection might be coming from. At that moment the object moved on a level horizontal path toward the west, out of my visual range, in a fraction of a second. The acceleration was so great that by the time the object had moved to the right edge of my vision, I could no longer track it. At that moment I realized what I had witnessed. There were some people in kayaks, a couple of guys fishing and some other boats to the north and east of my position. The environment was quiet, and I heard absolutely nothing that could be associated with the object – it was completely silent. I would estimate that it was about 40 degrees in elevation and on a bearing of 180 to 200 degrees. Object size and distance were impossible to determine. The object appeared somewhat like two slightly elongated top hamburger buns, with the bottom bun inverted. There was a slight darker band separating the top and bottom sections. Width to height was about 3 to 1. The overall impression was that of a light weight, white fabric, almost with some translucent quality to it. I did not detect anything unusual looking through my polarized sunglasses. I am an experienced UFO researcher, yet it was not until the object shot out of sight that I realized what I had seen.
