Walsenburg, CO
Then from green horn and Spanish peak in came two jets over the valley heading towards the Sangre de Cristos. Jets are common here, so are lightless black helicopters that shake my walls, but the light is something else’s entirely. I saw the light before but chalked it up to tired eyes, as did my boyfriend, but seeing to together was assurance of sanity we both welcomed. FYI, we are not drug users, don’t! drink and are rational thinkers with professional careers. We’re new homeowners in the area and moved here to watch the stars in peace-didn’t know then were buying under a military fly zone.

First red orb spotted at 21:30, 10/06/2018 due south, rising at a speed about twice that of an air craft. Second orb became visible about a minute later. Both orbs remained visible as they flew directly overhead, heading north and disappeared into the north horizon. No sound was noticeable and remained in view 4-5 minutes. Neither of the original two had much of a trail, but one had visible break off like a flare that burned up within a second or two. Less than a minute after the first two disappeared, the third and the fourth came into view from the same southern location. One was larger than the first ones and had a noticeable tail to it. These two also released items that quickly burned up. There was complete overcast with no visible stars or a moon, so these were very low in our atmosphere. In total, there were 8 and they spread out into longer intervals between. Eventually only one in view at a time. The whole event lasted about 40 minutes. Some never made it to the far horizon, but at least 3/4 of the way. The ones that didn’t flickered out without any debris. There were four of us that witnessed this and none of us have seen anything like it. Possible sky lanterns??? PD

Lovelock, NV
While driving on I-80 from Lovelock, a bright white light appeared towards the south west with what looked like a ring of smoke or mist around the light. From the light came a beam shining down, over the time it was in sight though the lights began to change to 6 distinct beams all coming from the center of the light source. As we drove closer the lights coming from the center began to point up and came to 2 distinct beams that were very bright. After 15 minutes the light disappeared and left what looked like an exhaust trail. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Two white objects. Shape was difficult to discern, objects were close together with little separation between both. Sky was blue and made stay clear with a few billowing clouds, none near objects. Objects were moving upward and opposite direction of clouds. I had an unobstructed view of the objects and followed them for approximately 30 sec before looking away. When I looked back in area of sky where they’d had been, they were gone. There were no clouds for a mile or two in that area of the sky.

North Charleston, SC
10/6/18 @ 1:30am EST Noticed a bright light with two smaller red blinking lights close to the Charleston International Airport. By all indications, including proximity to the airport, I would guess this to be a helicopter based on the altitude and speed, however, there was no engine/rotor noice what so ever. At this time of night, sounds of traffic and sirens can be heard from miles away on Rivers Avenue or I26, however, this 'craft' was moving at a fairly fast clip, very low altitude (approx only several hundred feet max) and based on the size of the light/glow, suggesting close proximity, the engine or rotor sounds should have been heard. This is the second sighting of this in approximately the same location, however, the blinking red lights (similar to any ordinary aircraft) were not present on the 1st sighting which occurred in early September 2018. Another oddity about this particular sighting is that it appeared to pick up speed and get lower, however, the size of the light did not app! ear to change which suggested that the range stayed roughly the same, as if moving in a circular pattern, which would then not suggest the airport as a destination.

A strange craft in the night sky with white and colored lights is just hanging over southern Alameda county. It is not moving but high in the sky.

Last night, i saw a bright pinkish red light in the sky. It pulsed irregularly I've never seen anything like it. Moved from West to East very slowly until it faded away. Looked as if it maybe had just turned to where the light wasn't having me anymore instead of just disappearing. The intensity of the light was that of like welding something.

Tiverton, RI
As I was closing my blind for the night, I happened to look up into the sky directly across from my window and noticed a huge craft shaped like a diamond with lights on both sides and the object looked like a diamond shape. The lights never blinked but it hovered over the trees for about 4 minutes, jerked forward a little then took off in a direction over my house. I heard no noise and when it took off it seemed as though the lights went off. The lights seemed to come down into a point from both sides. There only seemed to be one large object.

The power had just gone out as me and my boyfriend ate dinner. The sun had went down and it was past dusk. The sky was black with a couple of low thinn clouds passing slowly. It was exactly 8 o clock when we went outside to smoke. I happen to look up in the sky and saw what appeared to be a golden bright star moving like an airplane in the sky to left and slightly above the Orion constellation. I didn't think much of it until another light quickly caught up to the 1st out of nowhere at a speed and rate of acceleration and sudden deceleration that no aircraft could do this. Both stopped for several minutes and began to follow each other in a circle shape. They seemed to disappear after a while behind some clouds. Several minutes later we saw several other lights zooming about in the same area eventually seeing 6 at once. Some of them stayed still and would move slowly and only a small distance while others seem to bobble and play around in an almost childlike way. One was stationary and it seemed to split into two separate lights. One of them sped away faster than my eye could follow. Some of them would glow really bright and then dim in un related intrivels as they accelerate very quickly. Eventually they seemed to dim or move up in altitude one by one until I could no longer see them anymore. I didn't see anymore but an hour so later noticed a giant streak of light like a shooting star toward the north. I seen an abnormally high amount of what looked like normal aircraft with flashing red lights moving in all directions through out the experience. It was a very strange night I will never forget.

My daughter and I run team for a large package delivery company. We pull doubles most often from Texas to California and back every week. Thursday night around 21:30 hours she was driving and talking to her daughter via Bluetooth when I overheard her say, “What the Hell?!?”. I was in the bunk half awake and I didn’t think anything of it, thinking it was just part of her conversation. Then she yells back at me “Dad! Get up here! I saw something really weird! It’s freaking me out!” I climb forward and she proceeds to describe the events that had just occurred. First she witnessed a large bright meteor streak across the sky relatively low from North to South perfectly horizontally. A few minutes later she saw a translucent Peridot green glowing object appearing to be approx 2 school buses length flat or saucer shaped with two extremely bright Peridot green lights on both ends rapidly descend straight down to the ground that appeared to be perhaps only 1/2 to 1 mile distant. She fully expected to see or hear an explosion but there was none whatsoever. What’s really strange is she was immediately compelled to head straight towards where the object apparently landed… And I mean STRAIGHT...as in cutting across the median and the opposite side of I-10. Fortunately, she resisted the powerful urge. Two weeks prior while I was driving that same stretch of I-10 East of Tucson and the New Mexico State line our GPS our GPS began inexplicably telling me “I-10 Eastbound is closed...take exit...” at virtually EVERY exit for the next 70-80 miles. The GPS was trying to direct me North off of I-10 on a “Detour” around the “Closed” Interstate. There is no “bypass” around I-10 in that area...and I-10 was not closed anywhere across there. I told my daughter perhaps it was an extraterrestrial “Bug-Zapper”...lure you in with irresistibly compelling lights and then “Zap” you. Lol

I stopped in the middle of the road and didn't see any red blinking lights on this object. It was very slow moving off towards the southern direction. I turned onto SawMill road and got close to my house and you could still see the bright white lights blinking off in the distance.

oct 4th, 2018, 815 pm. observed triangle shaped object hovering for about 20 min. had white strobe like rotating lights with numerous other red, amber,yellow, green lights flashing. I was facing north, observed object in sky north by north west. sky was very clear. it disappeared for several minutes, then came back, only for about 30 seconds then was gone. I continued to watch the sky and another 10 minutes passed by, then from same direction a disc shaped object shot across the sky at a very high speed, It also left, I guess the best term is a vapor trail as it shot away leaving a green hue on the object and vapor trail. that moment lasted maybe 4 seconds. from my observation, it was maybe less than a few 1000 ft in the sky. I observed it over a mountain top. unable to get pics.
