The object was directly above Albuquerque Sunport. I looked up at Orion’s Belt and I saw a large dim light. Way to large, larger than brightest star visible. It was moving about as fast as a jet. But slightly faster. I told the other witness “look look look at this” and we looked up and the object accelerated fast but there was no noise. The object moved unbelievably fast. I mean we live near an air force base and see fighter jets all the time, even passenger jets, but this things moved about 5 times that. What was most interesting is how fast it accelerated out of our sight. The object was about as high as an airplane might be about five seconds before landing. It made no noise. Zero noise and it sped off incredibly fast. I told my witness that it’s going to enter a fluff of clouds and we’re not going to see it emerge. Which it didn’t. It flew towards the Air Force base but didn’t appear to land there. It just flew off towards the mountains. It was amazing,! actually. We were not terrified, my witness and I were actually very excited. I told my witness, if you watch the skies you can always pick an anomoly at least once or twice a year. It was very disconcerting that it was so close above the airport, and nobody was able see it. Maybe they did I don’t know. None the less amazing. We were standing near the grassy area north of the Sunport. It’s the road all the taxis wait for flight arrivals by airport near the hotel and vacant lot at the end of the cul de sac. Source of report indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Around 1-2pm a jet black Angled object about 2500ft altitude, est. 200ft to 400ft long point to tip to point, drifted along West to East for about 30 minutes approximately following Lomas Blvd East near San Mateo, and made it to Juan Tabo before I lost it. Very strange, and certainly not a weather balloon. The way it was stalled in the sky was center angle up, and ends down. If it had been filled with helium, it would have been inverted. It also reflected light from the sun. Did anyone else see this?

Later in the evening around 1900, my very intelligent 10 year old came in from walking the dogs and asked if I believed in UFO!!! I said why, she said there were spinning yellow/green lights heading straight and fast south (I found out after she pointed ) of town!

Chewelah, WA
Good Morning, My name is ((name deleted)) and I have a UFO sighting to report. It was 4 am this morning, just outside of Chewelah, Washington, while I was on the highway on my way home after work. The skies were clear, and as I was coming around a corner on the highway, a big bluish green sphere lit up the sky as it traveled faster than anything I have ever seen. It shot across the sky and covered many miles in a split second. I’m not sure of the size exactly as it appeared to be very high, but when compared to the glimmer of stars and moon I would estimate this thing to have been about the size of a football field because of how clear it was. Again it was extremely high so very difficult to gauge how exactly large but when compared to other objects in the night sky I would say very very large. It covered the length of the sky in my vision in a matter of seconds so the traveling speed must have been amazingly fast. Very very fast. It gave off a blue glow and had a green trail behind it. It reminded me of! a tear drop, but horizontally traveling through the sky.

Woke up around 3 a.m. to what sounded like an animal screeching. Looked out bedroom window but didn't see anything. Looked up to the sky. At first glance it could have appeared as a star but I realized it was moving. Watched the "light" (yellow in color) for awhile and saw it hover right, left and down slightly. Woke my husband so that he could confirm what I was seeing and he did. He also confirmed what I was already thinking...that occasionally there would be a flash of light to the left or right of this main light. The light never moved much aside from the slight hovering movements. After about 30 mins I saw flashes of white lights just above the tree line behind my house but in the distance. There was about 4 or 5 of them. Each would continuously flash. One moved more right away from the others and slightly up in the air while the others disappeared. I continued to keep an eye on the main light that was still moving slightly in the same spot. When directly looking at it, I didn't see much around it. When I looked to the right it appeared like there was a shadow in the sky to the left of the light. I couldn't make out what it was and when I looked directly at it, I could not see it.

Two of us witnessed at least two dozen orange lights traveling from N to SW at a 40 degree angle to the horizon. The first bunch came in then some trailed behind then a few more in a bunch then more trailed in in a snake like pattern. They were not floating like lanterns and were not drones. No blinking. All of them disappeared at the same western spot. We couldn't tell if they flew into a cloud because it wasn't a totally clear night. There was no noise. They flew slowly like a helicopter would fly. We live north of LUKE AFB and are familiar with the F16's, 18's and 35's. We also see and hear passenger jets approach Sky Harbor and smaller craft that use two smaller airports. I phoned LUKE AFB and they did not have any helicopter squadron maneuver. The way the bunches of these were traveling it looked dangerous because there wasn't any pattern.

When walking the dog Heard what sounded like a giant bird flapping its wings. At the same time my wife yelled oh and ask what was that? At the same time ask her what was the sound ? She stated that she seen a light in the sky that was traveling very fast headed toward the moon. What ever it was was very quiet and disappeared quickly. The entire incident was only about about 5 to 10 seconds

The entire incident was only about about 5 to 10 seconds. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and found him to be eloquent and sober-minded. We suspect that he is a highly reliable witness. PD

Last night around 6:30pm, and then again this morning around 5:30am, I saw the same lights and from my perspective thought they were hovering over the high school south of my location. I distinctly thought that it must be drones or something since they looked like there were right above the football stadium. This time, however, nearly my whole family and I were driving a few miles south of the stadium and saw the same lights, except they looked much further south and appeared to be on or above the mountains south of buckeye, Arizona. I recognized the same lights and realized I misjudged where they were the previous two times. There's lights seemed to appear in groups of two or more. Are amber in color and can be seen for miles away. They only last for about 10 minutes or less. It appears to be in a horizontal line and twinkle slightly, causing me to wonder if it was an aircraft. This time when seeing them they disappeared after about 2 minutes, then another two lights appeared a few miles west and approximately in the same horizontal plane at about the same altitude. They two lights acted the same, slightly moving or twinkling, but they were slightly farther apart. They also are now gone. Lasted for about 3 to 5 minutes.

Ruidoso, NM
On two consecutive nights I witnessed the exact same appearing UFO in the night sky. The first was on the night of 12/12/18. I was walking to the lower level of our trailer park to retrieve a cooking pot from my Dad. I stopped before descending towards the lower level as I had looked up and saw a light that looked like a star...but was moving! In a southerly direction it moved, slowly but surely. No blinking lights whatsoever; it seemed to be around 5-13 miles up. I'm not able to accurately convey a distance marker, but it definitely had no sentry lights as conventional aircraft have. The light eventually dimmed and disappeared, with no visible clouds in the sky; it just seemed to fade out as it continued the same direction and speed. Then, on the night of 12/13/18, I was doing the marquee at the movie theater and, to my amazement, I noticed the same exact looking light in the sky! This time it was moving in a more south-easterly direction, but had the same attributes as the one I saw the night previously. The light, this time, did not fade out but disappeared behind the tree line in the southeast. Observer Note: These two sightings COULD be attributed to a satellite, but seemed far too bright to be such a mundane object such as a satellite.

I saw 5 separate bright yellow lights in the western sky that began as one bright light for about 6 seconds, then multiplied to 5 more bright lights over a period of approximately another 6 seconds.

While watching the west horizon and the evening star, saw 5 yellow orange lights simultaneously appear. They were well off to the west of me in an irregular group and were motionless. They then one by one disappeared without displaying any movement.

I went to the skate park, Parked and saw another light in the sky it also multiplied, I took my phone out and only got it disappearing. Please note, These were not lanterns, I saw them light up in the sky, not float up into the sky.

Sitting outside with our dogs we live in a rural area in the mountains the sky was very clear full of stars. I was looking up at the stars when I noticed a brilliant sphere where the stars were. It then fell down somewhat, moved across the sky very fast and dropped as though if fell out of the sky over a hill.

Colby, KS
I was driving down the frontage road by the interstate, when I noticed a red light hovering about 20 degrees above the horizon east-southeast of town. I slowed down and watched it and it disappeared and appeared again a few seconds later to the right of the location where it had been. For a little over an hour and a half this light never moved up or down, but it would move back and forth along the same plane over the field where it was hovering. (It moved from the east-southeast to the southeast.) I timed it and it would disappear for three seconds, five seconds, 17 seconds, 23 seconds, and come back and be visible varying lengths of time. There was never any repeating pattern, and it was mostly random how long it would appear and disappear. At 2233 I noticed a military plane flying circles in the vicinity. Four minutes later, at 2237, two other red lights appeared in the sky along the same plane as the first light. They were the same size. The original was i! n the southeast, the second in the approximate location the first appeared in the south-southeast and the third was about 10 degrees to the left of the middle light. The one on the far left disappeared after a few seconds and never came back. The second light, in the middle, was visible for approximately 10 minutes before it disappeared. The original light kept disappearing and appearing for about 10 minutes more before it started to move off to the southeast. By 2310 it was barely visible.

Mostly spotted in the eastern sky. Directly over mountains, & over local big lakes. Seen most any clear night, especially when meteor showers are going on. Some hover lower than others, especially the ones over the lakes. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I was almost home and noticed this green light well actually is was like a light neon green. I was heading north on Hurds Corner road and it was at my 10 o'clock moving easterly. It moved smooth and very quick and there was no blinking lights anywhere on it. When it got a little to the east it turned 90° to the north and disappeared.
