Mattoon, IL
Me and my brother were leaving thanksgiving dinner, I was in my car and my brother stared pointing up, I got out and saw a very bright orange light, it was rather close, about the height a helicopter would fly. It was not blinking, but just a stale light. It was moving at a somewhat fast speed, but I managed to get 2 pictures of it. I got 3 other family members to come out and see it. By the time they got there it was nearly out of sight. We watched it until it was fully out of sight. It didn't travel up, but away.

Winfield, KS
Driving from Mulvane to Winfield and we seen this bright light while on the highway. As we drove we realized this object was not moving AT ALL and it was much too bright to be a star or planet. We also noticed that this object appeared to be in our atmosphere and was blinking periodically. The object was mostly circular other than one edge which appeared to be flat like a capital D. It was VERY white like an LED light bulb and periodically had red and blue flashes.

My daughter and I saw five ufos in a formation. They were shaped like a triangle but not a full triangle. They were dark orange and just seemed to vanish in the same place one after the other.

Taos/Dulce/Santa Clara, NM
1st sighting was in Dulce, NM. Looked like a bright star, but upon further examination was brighter than all the other stars in the sky. The lights were multiple changing. The object would go in weird directions, ascending/descending, figure eights, and finally flying out of the atmosphere. Can be seen from Santa Clara, Pueblo, and Taos area during the night times. It's usually North East direction in the sky. Looks like a normal star, but the lights are more vibrant and different than a star. Been seeing it in the sky lately. Takes awhile but it will eventually move. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Bethalto, IL
I’m an amateur astronomer (been observing for several years now) and was testing out some new accessories for my telescope. I had gone inside and when I came back out, that’s when I spotted the UFO. It was already halfway across the sky, (I first saw it at the zenith) it was traveling from NE to SW in a straight line. Its rate of travel was comparable to satellites you often see in the night sky. However, it wasn’t small like a satellite. The light was a rich orange and looked about the size of a streetlight you’d see while driving. I believe it was at high altitude and no sound came from the object. As stated in the beginning I was using my telescope that night, but saw the object with the naked eye.

Salt Lake City, UT
I was driving west bound in the evening when I looked up and saw 5 or 6 bright stagnant lights in the air. Since I saw an airliner plane off to the side landing at our city airport with their flashing light and familiar speed in my mind it confirmed that these lights in the sky were not our airplanes. They were also so high in the sky. After some time maybe a few minutes the bottom craft only zipped away. Super fast. They were evenly zig zagged in the sky.

Westminster, MD
Standing outside at approx 3 Am and stared up into the sky like I usually do, smoking a cigarette at that time. As I stared I noticed 4 tiny lights and they were moving smoothly over the sky in unison. I stared closer and my eyes adjusted to seeing a black square with a light on each corner. It was moving very smoothly and knew at that moment that was no drone. I live in the countryside and no drones have ever been seen around my house, and it was moving as an airplane would, or rather a much slower shooting star. It lasted about a min or 2 before it was out of my view. Living in MD, I'm sure plenty of aircraft are tested and I have seen events before of testing the government has issued a statement before hand. I can assure you this was something I have never seen before. If the aircraft I saw was as high as an airplane, well then on the ground this thing would be absolutely massive.

Altadena, CA
Approximately 15-20 orange lights floated up into the sky in a line and then each disappeared in the same order, at their highest point seen. We are in Altadena, CA, and the lights appeared to the south or southwest and seemed to float up and towards the north or northwest. We have been unable to find anything about this on the Internet. The lights could have been part of a holiday display or event but i would think others would also be curious. It is hard to tell how far away they were, possibly at the Rose Bowl or farther south such as LAX? Any info would be appreciated!

Charlotte/Salisbury (between; on I-30), NC
I have a four-year degree and am working on my Masters degree. I was traveling up I-85 in-between Charlotte and Salisbury, traveling north-east. As I was driving, I was looking periodically into the sky at the numerous airplanes with their flashing lights. Almost 6-8 airplanes were flying and moving in all directions across the sky in different directions. Then as I look up again, I see 2 lights beside each other straight ahead in the sky and at first, I thought they were just stars because they were not moving or flashing, but I could notice they were brighter than any star in the night sky. As I got closer it seemed to be getting bigger and was not really moving but seemed to be hovering, almost as if it was studying the nearby airport. It looked to be roughly 5 miles in the sky right in front of the road. As I moved closer to it in the car, I could see vividly the 2 lights were now 3 in a triangle. They were a yellowish orange light and still at this point, were not flashing like all the other airplanes in the night sky. As I drove almost directly under it, I could tell it wasn’t moving or moving extremely slowly, as I saw the triangle of yellow-orange lights that looked to be about the size of two airplanes given the distance. When we passed underneath it I looked back for a second it looked to be getting smaller and moving higher and away at about a 70 degree angle. I’m not sure what I saw but it was not acting like, nor looked like any of the other half a dozen airplanes in the night sky. The 3 bright yellowish orange lights seemed to take up more than half of the bottom of the craft.

Waterford, CT
While driving we saw red lights through the trees. We wanted to see where the lights were coming from so we followed them. Three red lights slowly drifted above the trees and passed over us as we tried to follow it. I rolled down my window to hear if it made any sound. It was silent. I tried to look beyond the lights to see if the object/s was a plane or drones. I couldn’t see anything. It was as though they were three separate red lights moving in unison. I checked our car clock to see if we had “lost time” but only a few minutes passed. The object(s) drifted away from the road and above a Forrest our of sight. I instructed the driver to follow it knowing that if it kept heading in the same direction it would be in an open space above water soon. We sped down the road to catch up with it but never regained sight of it again. We retraced our path to see if there was anything we could have mistook for a flying object. There was a radio tower but the towers lights couldn’t have crossed the road.

Little Rock, AR
As I drove on the I-30, it was still light, getting to dusk. The orange sunset as the background around my 2:30 position. And I started noticing streams of light falling from the sky. It was beautiful just like the movies, strange shape lights, orange, I thought meteors, but having read this, it could not be. Different directions. I counted around 12 at one time small to very large.

Ennis, MT
As we were watching the light there was a commercial jet tracking from south to north leaving a vapor trail behind it. We first dismissed the light being a meteor because it was stationary at first. We dismissed it being a star because it was still too light out for them to show along with the light started becoming brighter and it started to move tracking the jet that was above and to the right of the ufo. The light was moving at a speed of double to triple the speed of the jet, gaining on it significantly, when all of the sudden, it instantly changed directions, shooting straight up in the sky to about 70-75 degrees over the horizon and its light went out. In its place was a very distinguishable dark boomerang shape with two light colored round objects at the tip of its wings. It stayed hovering for a few seconds and then completely disappeared!

Pine City, MN
Tonight at 9:28 pm, my daughter and I were traveling north on Maple Grove Road in Pine City, MN, and seen a pretty large craft in the north sky with 3-4 bright golden lights and it seemed to be hovering in one spot. There was no sound at all and then appeared to be going very fast across the sky to the east. Then it went under the light layer of clouds, we were able to watch this for about 5-6 minutes before it disappeared. We then drove back to Cherry road (runs east and west) we drove east on Cherry Road and looked to the north east sky above the tree line and seen the craft with golden color lights hovering above the trees line (similar in height of a cell phone tower) The craft was now moving to the south we watched this for about 3-4 minutes then the craft shape shifted to a larger object similar how it looked few minutes earlier with the golden lights it looked like it shape shifted to a long row of lights and the golden lights became 2 red lights and! they blinked and disappeared. During both times there was no sound and it was above the tree lines just hovering there before it moved and disappeared. Ended at 9:43pm

Selleck, WA
Walking up to pasture to take care of animals I noticed that the moon was nearly full. Adjacent to the moon were two very bright stationary lights. I see the moon every clear night that it is visible and am very familiar with that part of the sky. I had never seen stars that bright in that region of the sky before, so I thought it was strange. As I was watching these bright stars/lights they rapidly dimmed, and within 30 seconds were gone.

Issaquah, WA
Clear night, 3/4 moon. I was exiting my car with a load of groceries and looked up at the moon. Approx. 12 degrees east of the moon were two bright lights, about 2 degrees apart. My first thought was satellites, but they did not appear to be moving (or if they were, they were very slow). I witnessed this for about twenty seconds before I put my bags down to get my phone out to take a picture. At this point the lights both began to fade, and 10 seconds later they were gone. I have been an avid star watcher for decades and I was confused because 1. They were not stars of any constellation in that part of the sky, 2. The lights were if equal brightness and size, and 3. Although they appeared at first to be satellites, they were stationary. I am aware of the north/south path of most satellites, and how they can become brighter and fade as they shine in and out of the sun, but this was not the case. I'm reporting this because I sincerely don’t know what I saw, and maybe someone else saw it as well.

My Mom has said she has seen weird lights on her way to pick me up from work, tonight we went to the store and on the way home we saw the lights by a near by college. As we got closer we saw how big it was, maybe a litte bigger than our car (Ford Expidition) it was perfectly round with 6 legs coming off of it with amber lights with a red light on top of it. The road leading up to the college has streetlights which were blinking. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
