Birdsboro, PA
Driving home from friends house and saw a disc shaped object with lights surrounding disappear into sky. Moved quickly as in the shape of a check mark. No other siting after the first.

Centerville, GA
Caught on video is a circular light that appears to spin at times and somewhat fades. It flys slowly across sky and then hovers over a tree and then hides behind tree and pops in view a couple times, looks too big to be a drone.

Cartersville, GA
Red/orange, glowing, triangular-shaped object with orbish glow hovering low in the sky. Appeared motionless and silent. Two small red/orange balls were released from it's right side a few seconds apart and fell to the ground but their light dissipated shortly after their release. Object began to rise slightly and moved steadily due south for about two minutes. Then rose steadily upwards moving west south west and disappeared high into the night sky.

Carson City, NV
I live with my mother, and she was preparing a birthday cake Friday night for my niece, who had a birthday party on Saturday. We bagged up some kitchen garbage and I hauled it out to the dumpster behind our apartment late that night (approx. 11:45pm -- we're night owls). I happened to look up as an object flew in to my view from the west. It crossed the sky in about four seconds, moving at incredible speed, faster than any airplane or jet I'd ever seen. It was close enough that I could vaguely make out the shape of something, but it was too dark and moving too quickly to make out definitive detail. The only real piece of identification I could see was a single red light on the bottom of the object--it did not pulse, it did not blink, it was just a solid red light. It was too close to be a satellite, as it definitely had some kind of silhouette (but, again, too dark to tell what). And it definitely was not a jet, drone or airplane, given this object did not make any sound. It could have been some kind of glider, but it seemed to be moving way too fast for that to be a possibility. It traveled from the west (in the direction of Lake Tahoe), to the east (veering north-ish). About ten minutes later (11:58pm-ish), after I made my way back up to the apartment and told my Mom what I had seen, I had begun making a late night meal of a tuna sandwich. As I began assembling the sandwich, the apartment was buzzed by a very low flying jet flying moving very quickly. I did not see the jet, and I do not know which direction it was traveling, I just heard it roar over the top of the apartment. It sounded like a rumbling gust of wind at first, but I heard it trail off in to the distance. It probably rattled the windows it was flying so low and so fast. My 72 year old mother was in the bathroom at that time, on top of being hard of hearing, and did not hear this jet over the sound of the ventilation fan in the bathroom. A few minutes after that (12:02am-ish), another jet (or possibly the same jet) could be heard in the distance, though it did not approach the apartment anywhere near as closely. My mother was present and did hear this. About an hour or two later, we had to run to the store to buy shredded coconut for the cake (as my Mom had forgotten to buy some earlier that day). It was designated that I had to run in to the local Wal-mart to buy the coconut, as my Mom's hair was in curlers and she was too embarrassed to enter the store herself. As I left the apartment parking lot, over the hills to the west again, I could have sworn I saw a dot of light shoot in to the sky at very high speed, like a meteor going straight up, but I am not sure if that was my eyes just laying tricks on me due to the excitement of seeing the other object earlier in the night. It was very faint against the night sky. After going to sleep later that night (4-5am), I slept in to around noon the next day, and was awoken by a very similar jet flying over the apartment again, low enough that I physically felt my bed vibrate as it passed. I've maybe had five alcoholic drinks total in my 35 years on this earth, and three of those were at weddings I attended in 2015. I haven't tasted alcohol at all in nearly two years. I have never, ever done recreational drugs. This is the first time I've ever seen anything like this. When I saw the objects in the sky, I was of sound mind and body, fully aware of my surroundings, and wide awake.

Tampa, FL
Estimate of distance offshore from Tampa – if it was in the atmosphere 30-40 miles out and 40,000 feet high – would have needed to be traveling multiple mach, example hyper-sonic, Mach 5-6 is guess. If it was exo-atmosphere, it would have needed to be significantly faster, as it crossed the sky at a 45 degree angle, going away from us, going from very visible to distant, to out of sight in 4-5 seconds. I am open to being contacted if investigation is made. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Hello Peter See below original summary, but I thought about something today that is interesting Last night, the reason we saw this object in the first place, is because we were focused on an area of the sky, that had a flickering light, I had just told my wife, that is a satellite, not a star, because of the evident flicker, those are the solar panels…. We were using an app on my android phone called “Skyview” – this app shows all object in the sky including satellites, spent rockets etc… The flickering light was stationary and Bright. The Phone app did not recognize it, I tried to load update to the app, to see if it would then identify. Then, we saw the fast moving object, directly from same general location. I stopped thinking about the flickering object, and am not certain if it remained… I believe it did. So I do not think the fast object was the original Flickering object… but small chance it was the same. I am just not certain now, as I did not connect the 2 objects last night… only today did I think about the location and the possibility that they were in some way connected. Also, you said last night that there was a similar report from Arkansas, and also something reported West of Spokane. I used Google Earth, and made a Pin Drop out West of Tampa over the Gulf. Another West of Spokane, and noted that the line traverses directly over Arkansas. (See attached) Let me know if you have any questions Also – What were the times the Arkansas and Spokane reported? I believe mine was very close to 2300 EST ((END ADDENDUM)) We spoke with the witness, and he sounded to us to be very serious, and sober-minded. We suspect that he is an excellent witness. PD

Jacksonville, FL
The witness was a tugboat captain and his crew was proceeding south 30 miles off Jacksonville Florida His engineer asked him what was a light which was approaching from their port stern at about the same heading as them (174° magnetic). When they first noticed it it was about 250 to 300 yards away not moving much faster than them which was 9.3 tks (knots?). He pointed out that it was submerged but glowing a greenish yellow light at first. He said it was the moon's reflection but the engineer pointed out that the moon's reflection was a little off their starboard bow. They continued to observe this light. As it slowly approached and got directly abeam of our vessel the captain noticed that his radars started spoking and showing a screen like they were in a heavy rain storm but the sky was clear and no wind to speak of. As this light continued to pass them it was only about 100 to 125 feet off their port side. At this point they could make out a round struc! ture between 30 to 40 ft. Round and maybe 40 to 50 ft under the water it continued to move south for about 3 to 5 minutes, then turned, west and cross their bow at a range of approximately a hundred yards. As it got about 30° to 40° off their starboard bow it came up and out of the water and became airborne, accelerated to a very high speed, and was out of sight in a matter of seconds.(MUFON CMS)

Easley, SC
The objects are sphere like and are orange or red in color. They fly low and slow, sometimes seeming to just stop and hover, before fading out to nothing. You cannot hear any noise at all, like with a plane or helicopter flying over. While staring at them closely they appear to have bursts of the same color light around them. They are solid red or orange and do not blink at all. I saw 8 tonight, first two, then 2 more, then 3, then one. No more than 3 were in sight at one time. I have seen them before about 6 months ago. At that time it was only 3 and they all hovered in one spot for over 10 minutes in a triangle pattern, then just faded out to nothing. I have never really believed in UFO'S, but I really like to know what these are!

Sherwood, OR
The light was traveling at some what of a slow pace, slow enough for me to pull my phone out of my pocket and contemplate filming the light. But I ended up keeping my eye on it. It flew from West to East in a straight line. As it flew over my head, I tried to listen to see if it made a noise like some type of aircraft, but it was completely silent. As it flew over my head the fireball started to dim, until it went completely black. The strange thing was as the orange light disappeared I could see a fuzzy grey silhouette of what used to be glowing orange still heading east at! the same speed with no sound what so ever. I know a plane tends to have white, green or red lights flashing but this was silent and bright orange and faded to a fuzzy grey.

Fouke (5-10 miles south of), AR
Driving south on I-49 in southwestern Arkansas, between mile markers 20 and 10. I always watch sky on drive home from work. Using flight radar 24 app I watch for planes. This craft came in at low altitude (compared to commercial flights in area). It immediately caught my eye. I was moving around to make sure it wasn't a reflection on windshield. Craft came in with lights on. West to east. Came into my vision slowed down within 2-4 seconds. Then, went at high rate of speed, turned lights off and disappeared. The way it was moving was much different than a plane. It was effortless. We spoke with the witness, and he sounded to us to be very serious, and sober-minded. We suspect that he is an excellent witness. PD

Parma Heights, OH
Large, rectangular shape below the cloud deck. No lights, no wings, no movement. Looked one dimensional/almost flat in nature. It was overcast sky, daylight, the object was a shade darker then the clouds, but not solid gray, more mottled. I was driving in Parma Heights, OH, southwest in direction. It was not directly overhead, but rather off a way, but large. It was not there when I cleared some trees while driving. What made me notice it is that it was something which was not normally there, I thought it might be an air bus, it was bigger than that, or maybe an airplane was pulling a sign, but it wasn’t moving at all. Witness provides no contact information. PD

Jay, ME
At work I saw something out my window in the corner of my eyes, I stopped the machinery that I was using and got out to observe. I noticed a bright orange/yellowish light it was strange to my because it was significantly brighter than every other star in the clear sky. I began watching and noticed it was hovering around in all different directions, not super fast but fast enough to see the significan motion. As I snapped some pictures of the orb like brightness, and watched for several minutes as it moved from Far Eastern horizon to almost 12 o’clock over my head. Every time I switched to record video of the anomaly my camera would focus in and capture the star and then disappear off screen. The whole time it was visible to the naked eye but would come and go on my screen, I had an every feeling and extreme curiosity. Never seen anything like it. What was this object?! There seemed to be a slightly smaller white light making similar movements almost mirroring the orange light in its erratic “floating” motions. It may be worth noting that early in the evening me and another witness saw a large burst of light that lasted about 4 seconds, it was similar to a huge shooting star but more like a white fireworks display-- the other witness is an engineer--we both agreed that it was strange but figured it was a sizable meteor--agreeing that it was bigger, brighter and lasted longer than any shooting star we’ve seen and exhibited a crackling, fire like display as it wizzes thru the sky. Man, I wish I knew what it is that I’ve seen in the sky tonight. There’s got to be an explainer.

San Antonio, TX
We pulled into the parking lot of our apartment complex, and started unloading the trunk. My fiancé told me to turn around and look behind me in the sky. I immediately put my bags down and just watched in awe. Right above the tree line there were three giant red-orange glowing lights. They never pulsated. They were in a triangular shape. It hovered there for a bit, then I realized I needed to record it. By the time I got my phone out it had raised a little in the sky and seemed less big. It still hovered, but also rotated slightly. We watched as one by one each light eventually went out. We agreed that the weirdest thing was never actually seeing a shape. When the lights went out, there was literally nothing there. It was night time, but we could still see the sky and clouds. It was as if there was a craft that was invisible except for the lights. Immediately after the ufo disappeared, two helicopters came from two different directions. I went inside shortly afterward. There was never any sound to the ufo. I have clear video of the sighting.

May's Landing, NJ
While passing the Lenape Lake, we saw a glowing object in the sky that seemed go be in the shape of a trapezoid. We turned around because of this odd sighting and we were very confused and interested. After turning around in the same area we saw an object hovering then moving very slowly and then just disappear infront of our eyes. The object had lights as if an airplane but not flashing strobe. As a pilot that would be protocol for something that low altitude but this had a steady light only two with one on each side. The sky conditions were clear so it couldn't be played into factor.

Salinas, CA
Was driving on road towards west of Salinas when we noticed a dark-colored, cigar shaped craft staying still in the sky yet moving slightly. We kept an eye on it and it began to move and as it went higher and hid in the clouds. About 10 minutes later we looked again and noticed that something got shot in the sky from what looked like the Moss Landing/Santa Cruz area. It was a very eerie feeling.

Hillsboro, OH
Three witnesses among family--First sighted on the way home, starting with two in a far distance, and continued as we pulled in the drive. Two triangular shaped crafts circled our complex about 5 or 6 times within 20 minutes. One had seven blinking lights and the other had only three; the one with seven blinking lights was leading the other craft the whole time. At one point, the leading craft approached a normal commercial airplane and disappeared, jumping from above to the left of us in around one second. They then went around the back of the house and completely disappeared. Aircraft noises separate from the crafts themselves were heard, possible reasoning behind circling such as watching or chasing them.

April 11 at 2:30 pm, in my back yard.I heard a loud, whirling sound in the sky above..seconds later I saw 2 pearl-iridescent color aircraft flying South . A few seconds later I heard the same loud whirling sound and looked up...a 2nd pair of pearl-iridescent, almost invisible aircraft, came flying over and did an abrupt turn to the East, toward the ocean.

Aloha, OR
12:56 a.m. in Aloha, Oregon, a small town outside of Beaverton and Portland. At the same time as a jet was flying by as I heard the jet engines passing overhead, I could see a small green light suddenly appear in the dark sky as I smoked a cigarette, and the speed of this green light was in the opposite direction of the sound as well as planes do not move this fast. This was not a meteorite or shooting star as it was moving as the crow flies in the distance straight ahead. I could tell that this was some sort of craft just by the way it was moving across the sky. However this green light was not the jetliner overhead which I heard at the same time. The plane in the sky was not military as it was not chasing the object it was just passing overhead as I live near an airport. Show it was a green light I did not hear any noise besides the jetliner above and it was moving faster than any plane I have ever seen in my life! I would say it was moving as fast as a shoo! ting star but this is no shooting star.
