Triangle shaped craft, with solid white lights in each corner, flying below cloud level. At a distance sounds like a low plane but as it got closer it became much more high-pitched than any plane I've ever heard. Flew over my house going North while I was outside in a hot tub by myself. My dog who was inside was and started barking at the same time. Flew in a straight path. Weather was thick, low cloud cover, very fine light snow, low wind, 4 degrees Fahrenheit.

Indianola, IA
While driving North on R63 towards Des Moines, both passengers saw a flash of a bright light on the horizon. At first it looked like an airplane, with white and red blinking lights, but then it seemed to shoot like a falling star and terminate in a burst of bright light. We saw this in the dark NE horizon, in the rural countryside before Fleur Drive. We tried to explain it away by saying it was a falling star exploding in the earth's atmosphere, but both witnesses agreed that it was strange that the "star" seemed to hover for a moment like an airplane or aircraft, and then shoot with impossible speed to the ground. One of the witnesses did not believe in UFOs before this event. Now they shrug and say "maybe." Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

The lights were in a straight line up and down and I was having north and they were moving West the lights one of each color, white, red, green and blue all about 2-3 inches apart in the sky. The moon was out because it was a blood moon last night.

On my drive to work this morning, I witnessed the entire sky flash a bright greenish blue color lasting a quick 6 seconds. It was cloudy and wasn't a small flash in one small part of the sky it was all around. So bright that it in fact blinded me for a moment.

Single small very bright object in the southern sky above southeastern Michigan-–observed and recorded by a scientist moving around a small radial area of the night sky (a 2-dimensional radial area approximately 5-10 degrees in diameter) located about 5 degrees above the horizon. Moves in an erratic manner not consistent with any known planetary object in motion or manmade aircraft or spacecraft trajectory. Luminosity consistent with a near atmospheric object. Movement of the bright object is not a consequence of atmospheric conditions or of intrinsic sensory/motor tremor or micro-movements, as “naturally-occurring” near space manmade satellites or far space stellar objects near this object moved in known, predictable patterns and were also recorded. Since I do not believe in UFO’s, is this possibly a new class of drone? (funded by the Defense Advanced Research Agency (DARPA?)).

I did not observe this in real time. Photos were caught on a wildlife camera.See attached photos.These are 4 of 5 photos on wildlife cam. • Photo 1: Numerous lights appear to be shining down from some central source in the air above our west lawn at 1:28 AM. Some low-level diffuse light seen to be lighting the lawn as well in later photos. It was a moonless night, and at this time of night if there was a moon shadow it would be from south to north at this time of year. Streaks do not appear to be snow falling as there are no branches above the lawn and snow on the nearby branches is not disturbed, so there was no air turbulence as from a helicopter (snow was powdery). Camera faces east. • Photo 2: Next photo at 2:53 AM, over an hour later, now shows increased diffuse light across the west lawn illuminating the west side of our house. Tree shadows suggest the light source is airborne and just above the tree crowns on the west side of the camera to be able to throw a long shadow of the tree across the lawn (shadow is west to east). • Photo 3: Next photo at 2:53 AM, still within that same minute, shows no change in diffuse light intensity. It does show a change in a single light beam coming down. It may be from point under an aerial object above the lawn. Would the aerial object need to be large to cast a tree shadow from the edge of the lawn and generate the “beams of light” from the north, noting the angle of the “light beam”? • Photo 4 at 3:33 AM over 30 min later: now the aerial object / source of the light shifts to the north or northwest slightly (note the tree shadow shift on the lawn and a shadow line on the side of the house going onto deck) but remains very close to the tree tops given the tree shadow stretches across the entire lawn. Questions … it is not clear how the camera would be activated as normal light does not activate camera. And why are there no pools of light on the snow? There is no line of sight to fly a drone at night, and trees surround this area. A helicopter this dangerously low would have blown dry, powdery snow off the branches in the photos.

Thomaston, GA
I went out for a quick smoke and to catch a glimpse at the Blood Moon Eclipse. I first walked to my car to grab my cigarettes. The reason I bring this up is because there seemed to be some electrical malfunction of some sort.. my car “dinger” (for when the door is open) was going off, but not in its usual routine. It would ding very quickly and then pause randomly, pick back up and slow down, like the electricity was running out. I then decided if my car was having issues, I didn’t want to deal with it yet. And went back to the porch. Then as I began to light my cigarette my eyes trailed from the night sky to this huge bright light, with an almost blueish tint. It was huge, it was almost as large as the moon at their different distances, the light appearing to be very close.. It floated very smoothly yet rapidly, making a mirrored J and disappearing into the trees.

I was outside viewing the lunar eclipse around midnight. To the south of the moon I saw movement and there were approximately 8-10 faint white lights in a circle. There were some clouds so maybe they were behind them. They were really high in the sky and I thought from their angular shape they were birds at first. They flew in formation and each light peeled away from the ring and made a spiral in the sky, like drawing a number 9, then disappeared. It all happened within a minute or so. I kept looking to see if I could see them again, but they were gone.

The night of the blood moon, I was on the porch with binoculars looking at the details of the moon and the stars surrounding the moon. I decided to scan the sky to look at more stars since the sky was filled with so many bright stars. As I scanned with the binoculars from the left to right my vision was disturbed by something because I wasn’t seeing any stars. I thought I ended up looking to low into the trees. I dropped the binoculars to gain visual of the sky again but I wasn’t looking at the trees. The area in the sky I came to was obviously different to my naked eyes. No stars and the shade of the dark sky was a different shade of black. But there also seemed to be visual texture covering the area. All I’ve been able to describe it as is a piece of paper that’s been crumpled and then layed out flat again but now very wrinkly. It was so close and large it seemed like a wall. I couldn’t make out a definite shape. It looked like a puddle covered with a sheer wrinkled cloth. I had no idea what I was seeing so I looked through the binoculars. That’s when I was able to see the scattered lights within the form. No defined pattern. Lots of very small pin dot lights and about 10 large white lights that did not flicker like drone lights that I’m use to seeing in my area. I quickly went to the garage asking my friend to come look at something and grab the gun so he could look through the scope. We walked out the door and I pointed to the right back corner of the house for him to go too. Instead as I was looking at the sky the object was now at the other end of the house straight up and much smaller like it was higher in the sky. The object moved from one side of the house to the other and higher up in the 3 minutes it took me to get him outside. He immediately seen the cluster of lights. He didn’t notice the shape color or wrinkles until he looked in his scope. I knew with his logical thinking he would tell me what it was. His reaction scared me. He verified what I seen almost exactly without me telling him what I actually seen. Over a 5 hour period we took turns going outside to look at the object to try and make some logical sense of what we were observing. The object never moved. After about 5 hours it either got higher or further away to were we couldn’t see the lights anymore. I don’t know exactly how large it was but my first visual it was extremely large. Once it moved it was much smaller but I felt it was just so incredibly high in the sky it looked small. The lights were small an dim as well. We both had a feeling it was very large and that we may have only been seeing a small portion of it. I have seen this object every weekend since the blood moon except when it’s cloudy. I’ve tried to tell my self it’s just a cluster of stars. Do stars move large distances within minutes? Are stars in the middle of a dark colored form? And each time I see it it’s not always in the same spot. • I read a post of a sighting of two young girls and seen the pictures of the object seen. This is why I’m writing. The size. The description of the ripples. I can’t give a definite shape to match but I know what I have been seeing and I can’t find a logical explanation. And that scares me.

I was standing in front of my house watching the lunar eclipse when I became aware of a chevron shaped object in my peripheral vision, moving southwest to northeast. It was black with no lights and I was only aware of it because it was a bit darker than the sky because of the full moon. As it traveled across the sky, there was the faintest of sounds, but it wasn’t the sound of an engine or any thing like that. It was the sound of air being pushed out of the way, like if you were spinning something heavy in a circle using a rope. It traveled across the sky as far as I could see southwest to as far as I could see northeast before disappearing across the rooftops. I have no idea about the size because I couldn’t judge altitude. It appeared to be large and far away, not small and close. It travelled about 3 miles in 8-10 seconds, which would mean a speed of over 1000mph, but there was no sonic boom. I’m a 52 year old software developer with pilot training and good eyesight. I have no idea what I saw. Definitely not a plane, not a drone. Not a flock of birds.

I ran and grabbed my cellphone and started filming. My son came into the bathroom and saw it as well. We then ran outside to film. The moon was overhead and the object that was to the north was gone. Here is a link to the video I captured: https://youtu.be/6x0YqsvREY0

I was observing the blood moon eclipse last night, it was cold so after about 20 minutes or so I decided to go inside. I was walking back up to my house and saw a shooting star break over my house and continue to the northeast, as it got just above my house the “shooting star” dimmed and I could clearly see the outline of 2 triangle shaped objects flying right next to one another, almost like they were connected. The outline of the objects was dark against the sky but the object itself was transparent, they flew silently for about the next 5 seconds and then I lost sight of them.

Hello Mr Davenport, I had the pleasure of listening to you on the Ground Zero podcast from last week. Your interview persuaded me to look up your website and report something seen several days ago (prior to my hearing the broadcast). I am reporting on behalf of my son. I was with him at the time but he was the only person who saw the actual occurrence. He is an adult and responsible. We were looking out of our home our windows to view the blood moon. My son looked out towards the south west and he saw a green light moving very quickly. the path direction was either moving away from us, further to the SW, or from high in sky, diagonally from upper left to lower right, down towards Horizon. He claimed it was faster than meteors we have seen in the past. There was no tail, no flare, nor change in the brightness of the light. It was lime green and somewhat blurry. We believe it was a far distance away based on my conversation with him. He also denies that it was a drone. Perhaps it was a meteor but it didn’t have those usual features and he seemed shocked to have seen it .

Me and my Friend were sitting on our balcony just on our phones when we look up straight forward you can see across Lackland Air Force base San Antonio Texas a disc/circle like air craft hovering over base for about 5-10 seconds just there while I started to record it just stayed blinking with red lights all around the craft about 300ft from our second floor about 8 minutes before I also Caught the same craft or possibly can b more than one hovering over my building for about 13-15 seconds then it vanished off like It went “zoom” or just the speed of it leaving was so fast it was gone in about a second I also saw in the video that same exact object that was by my building Or like I said possibly more than one had stayed in the video seconds later when zooming in pictures it’s really clear I can see what everyone says “ufo or disc” like figures from what I have captured on video so clear.

I clocked out of work at approximately 11:00pm and started walking towards my car. Clear skies, no clouds or obstructions in my vision, all of a sudden a glowing green circular light and traveled south at a high velocity, and it didn't make a sound. It flew right over my head. Faded and blinked. Then it was gone.

A Large Bright Blue Fireball was seen from the Garden State Parkway mile marker 80, moving at an extremely fast rate falling to the ground and at a distance that was hard to judge. Fireball was close to the size of the moon on an average night.

While observing the lunar eclipse, I noticed objects in the sky going west to east at a high rate of speed. The objects were grouped in 3 vee formations side by side of 2 or 3. The objects were lighter than the clear black sky which is why my attention was brought to them. The entire event transpired over only a few seconds which left me puzzling if I had actually seen them, but suddenly I saw 2 more objects following in a position that would have been to the left (as oriented looking to the east as the moon progressed) of the original grouping. The sky was very clear and very black and the objects were at extreme altitude as they passed at a rapid clip and soon vanished. These objects moved so much faster than any other extraterrestrial objects that I have observed since seeing Telstar as a youth.

It was a triangular flying aircraft during the full blood moon. It had 4 lights. Three white lights on each corner and one big red one on the middle. It was flying slow and very low to the ground.

Went to look at Lunar eclipse from hotel window & saw it. It appeared to be shaped like an upside down V, which was blue & had 2 red projections, coming out in the shape of legs on a stick figure. It was flashing & moved around in different directions & sometimes looked like it got further away then came back to same spot

Tonight, around 8:30pm, I had this urge to look out our back sliding glass door, and to my surprise, I saw the full moon and it seemed bigger/closer than usual and extremely bright! So bright that it not only gave more light into the sky, but it also produced a ring shape light onto the ground and the middle was shadowed. I told my mom & step dad then returned to the door to admire the strangeness to it. I glanced up to the right of the moon and that’s when I saw the first craft. It was very close at first, there was no sound from it, I could see 3 different color lights that appeared to be spinning in a circle, most were white but there was at least 1 blue and 1 red light, I yelled for my step dad to come see it because it was just hovering in the air. It didn’t appear to be moving at first and a few minutes later you could see it gradually moving farther away and upward into the sky. It would also move slightly right or left. It wasn’t going fast like it had a des! tination to get to but seemed to be scanning the area. Once it was too far to see all three lights as well as when it was close another aircraft showed up from the right. This one did have a faint sound and was going quite fast. It only had a white light, the light would flash once disappear and then flash again when it got some distance away. It went right in front of the first craft slightly turned flying left under the moon & right above the tree line. It then stayed in one area but going upwards and downwards until it just disappeared. A few minutes later i saw the same flashing light craft much farther left, it was going slow at first, but sped up to disappear around the side of the house. During all of this the other one was still just hovering in the same spot, it would get a little closer and then go back farther/higher again. It continued to do this, around 10 I had to stop looking to put my son to bed. I kept checking until 10:30pm or 11 and that’s when it was fin! ally out of sight. This sighting was the most amazing for me because t his craft didn’t seem to mind that it was seen and it stayed hovering around the same area the longest amount of time I’ve ever seen any kind of craft do.. while the others seemed to make sure it was not in any danger. Myself, my mom, step dad and 3 year old all got a great look at this amazing sighting & were all amazed by it. My puppy also broke off his chain around the time this first occurred, we usually hear him barking or running around the house when this happens but he was extremely calm and was drawn to the ring light & would look toward the craft.

I was watching the lunar eclipse at totality and I saw something out of the corner of my left eye. I turned to see a moving star within the Ursa Major constellation (Big Dipper). The light looked the same size, shape, and color as the other stars in the constellation, but it moved. The Big Dipper was facing mostly vertically in the sky with the dipper part upwards and the handle downwards, slightly tilted to the right. The UFO moved from the upper right corner down to the lower left corner of the four stars that make the dipper part of the constellation. For a brief moment it blended in perfectly with that star. Then it curved to the right a bit and continued moving straight further away into the distance until I couldn’t see it anymore. It moved quickly, but not fast. At first, I thought it was a shooting star, but it wasn’t fast enough. Then I thought it was an airplane, but it was too high in the sky and the lights didn’t flash. There also weren’t any red lights visible. Since it was moving away from me, it couldn’t have been the headlight on a plane. It could have been a satellite, but it was “twinkling” the way stars do and it changed directions.

My wife and I were leaving our home. As I finished loading items in our hatchback, I happened to look above our home in a 45 degree angle up and to the right, which was north. The day was beautiful clear and blue, that is when I saw an object moving in a super fast speed. That day being clear from my drive it was clear, whereas I could see Ardmore which is south and 10 miles away clear as a bell. Anyway the object was solid brilliant white only, but a portion on the front of the object had a portion in the front of the object that angled about 60 degrees. The object was NW of me moving to the SE at a high speed, it had no lights nor did it make any noise. At that time I was behind my car calling for my wife to come here, she was fooling around locking the door. She came and I pointed it out to her. It was, I would say, three to four miles high and 4 to 5 miles from us. As we were looking at it, the object suddenly change direct heading due west. We lost sig! ht after a few minutes still no sound or exhaust from the object.

At approximately 1:00pm, I was in the front yard and saw a small metallic orb. It was towards the sun and reflected brightly, as an airplane would. Distance and altitude is unknown and was unable to be judged. It shot right then left then right at break neck speeds then stopped. It -was not- an airplane etc. (I know the difference between terrestrial or man made objects and "UFO's".) I ran inside to grab my binoculars and went to the back yard. Within the 15 seconds this took, the object was gone. I scanned the sky for a considerable amount of time. Any airplane would have still been in the proximity for the 15 seconds it took to run through my house.

The object was shaped like a doughnut with a large hole in the center, probably 3 feet wide in total. It moved in a forward motion but was flipping and twirling at the same time. It was flying low to the ground but above the rooftop and treetops as viewed from my window. I am a clear-headed well-educated individual, and this was viewed in daylight. My initial thought it that it was a type of drone. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
