Palmer, AK
Dear Peter, I will try to describe my experience to you. I live in Palmer on a bluff looking toward Pioneer Peak. There is nothing between me and pioneer peak but open space and the river. On Sept. 30, 2018 I took my dog out to go potty around 6:30 am. It was still very dark outside. While I was standing outside I look towards Pioneer Peak and saw several stars. I noticed one that was quite bright and thought maybe is was an airplane or star. I watched it for awhile and thought maybe is was moving towards me and thought it was an airplane. I was dark and I could see no shape just the bright light. Then I noticed that the light was moving up and down and moving to the right and left. It would drop behind the mountain and reappear. The only reason I contacted you is that planes do not move like that and neither do stars. It was not a drone and if so it would have to be the size of a huge airplane. The next morning, I saw it again (Oct. 1, 2018) It was doing the same thing moving sideways and up and down and I did see some flashed of red and green lights. I took a video of it with my I phone and will try to send it to you. The colored lights do not show up in the video as it was dark and very far away. This is about all I can say other they it was just very suspicious. I will try to send the video to you. Sincerely, ((name deleted)) ((END ADDENDUM)) Witness provides no information in initial report. Date is flawed. Hoax?? PD

Cousin and I saw a sphere shape moving in the sky, looked as if the sky was moving. Looked as if it created a cloud. There was no blinking lights, but it was easily seen if you looked. It was in the sky for about 10-15 seconds.

Browns Mills, NJ
While walking outside to have a smoke, I observed 2 disk shaped craft moving at an immense rate of speed, emanating from the South and heading North. There was a flash that could be seen throughout what from my perspective appeared to be the entirety of the sky, and that's when I noticed these 2 disks.

Fremont, CA
So, I was looking up and there was no planes flying at this time. It was cloudy, in fact quite cloudy, the type of low clouds you see alot. There was a large open patch in the cloud about 70 degrees from where I was standing. Then I saw it... This massive triangle shape wing, that was white beneath, which I thought was a jumbo jet for a second. No sound at all, it just flickered in appearance, like it just materialized. I saw no lights blinking or anything. The undercarriage of this thing was really white, which was kind of shocking, cause I never seen underneath an airline that clear at night. There was no head or tail like a plane, just a big white triangle that appeared then cloaked just as quick. I couldn't see any movement in the clouds once it went into it. Almost like this thing appeared briefly and then hid in the clouds or using the cloud to hide. It all took about 6 seconds or so. I don't know what I saw. I can't say what it really was, except very large and eerie. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

We just got home from shopping and it's a clear night, looked up at the stars while getting out of the car and noticed a bright light moving across the sky from north to south, the light reminded me a led light it was very white and bright, no noise, no blinking lights. It was moving at a slow steady speed. We watched it for a minute and then the light turned to a dim red light, the red dim light got smaller and then it just disappeared.

My wife called me to one of our back upstairs windows, yelling about 4 UFOs in the sky. I can confirm that she wasn't seeing things. She saw them appear as they were white glowing circular objects in the distance. They made formations in a V shape, They also were crossing paths, i.e. 2 of the objects would "bump" off of each other or were crossing paths - unsure. They also changed color and glowed bright red. They flew low and high, i.e. 2 we're behind the trees in the distance, while 2 ascended and occasionally disappeared and reappeared in our sight. We don't believe these were aircraft as they weren't traveling in a particular direction and then they just disappeared. We called a local airport and left a message as no one answered the phone. My wife also heard a strange noise outside which is what got her attention to look out the window in the first place.

I was driving with my husband in the passenger seat and my mother in law in the back seat. I noticed out of the corner of my eye an object in the sky. I got everyones attention and we all looked while driving down the road. I was driving so I couldn't look for long so my husband probably got the best veiw of it. I noticed one at first. It was all white. It had no flashing lights or any other colors. At first it looked stationary but the longer we looked we could tell it was slowly moving. After looking for a couple minutes I noticed an airplane directly above us and with that we compared the speed of the airplane to the unknown objects to verify our sighting. When we were about 2 minutes from our house, I spotted another one, this could be a second object or it could be the same one from before. This object we watched go behind this big black cloud and we spotted another one in unison with the one that disappeared into the clouds. I've never witnessed anything like this in my life so that's how I knew it was strange and out of the ordinary.

Witness provides very little description about the incident. Video shows two very small dark "smudges" moving rapidly across the sky. Possible birds in flight, we suspect. PD

Somers, CT
I've lived here 33 years, i now the landscape, i've reported odd military drills before, I've reported fireballs and shooting stars different astronomy groups before. This i've never seen before. I'm, used to second and third shift life style so i'm always up late in the night, but this, no, never seen it before. Beyond the trees, in the direction of Hampden, Mass., directly north of us, and emanating from the sky, not the ground, the sky is an reddish orange color, and emanating enough light, for me to see the silhouette of the trees, while the moon, is behind us high in the sky with a blueish tint. I will enclose 3 pictures from an iphone 5, 2 in the backyard, and one from the front of the house, with porch lights, and house lights on, and yet this red light is seen behind the house, causing a silhouette of the house. I live in the woods, we never have light pollution like this there is no city in that direction, it's nothing but small towns, and woods in that direction.

While stargazing with the assistance of a Gen.3 White Phosphor night vision device, I observed three lights which maintained a consistent triangle formation, very high up in the night sky. The lights were first observed to the S/SW 30-40 degrees off the horizon, and passed high overhead, continuing to the north horizon in only about 30-45 seconds of time. I don’t believe I would have seen it with the naked eye. When the lights passed in front of other celestial objects, they were momentarily blocked, suggesting some shape/solidity/mass detween the three lights observed (so I believed it to be a triangular object). The rear two lights seemed to move occasionally, relative to each other, in a manner I could only describe as ‘wagging wings’. No sound was heard, or other lights observed. This thing was high, and FAST. Just incredible! I’ve seen shooting stars, satellites, the International Space Station... NEVER anything like this before.

Winslow, ME
My husband and I had stepped out of my Mother-in-laws's home to see my husband's uncle's new truck. I happened to gaze up at the trees behind the house looking east and spotted a fast moving object that was moving from right to left above the trees. That would be in the direction of southeast to northwest. It was a long cigar or cylinder shaped object with no wings, fins, windows, or propellers. There was no sound coming from the object. I gazed away for a couple of seconds to try to get my husband's attention, but he was occupied. I looked back at the object and it was just beginning to disappear behind the trees where I lost sight of it. My husband and I live in coastal South Carolina and are used to a lot of civilian and military aircraft going over regularly. This thing was a long white featureless and soundless object that was moving steadily without any indication of propulsion or other features. It looked like a long pure white sausage. The sky was sunny and perfectly clear that afternoon. It happened too fast to get the attention of the others present. I have no idea what it was.

Sahuarita, AZ
I saw with the naked eye lights in the sky on what someone would say in an oval craft. They were lighting on and off around the craft. Now and then something distended from the craft. I took many pictures. On the pictures there are three distinct shapes that look equally apart in terms of distance. First the orange tubular orange shape. It got long, short, bright. Whatever is inside was spinning as seen on video. Second is a dark gray shape. You must enlarge to even see it. The inside of this shape was spinning. The third shape started as two white circles. Then in the middle and even brighter bite line displayed. The circles turned into a comma shape and was blue, white, yellow. I was looking out a side front window. Lasted for an hour. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she seemed to us to be quite sincere and sober-minded. We are awaiting copies of photos she took of the object. PD

One spherical shaped UFO with red, green, white lights running through it. Always seen early in the morning hovering in the same spot. Once sun comes up, it disappears.

Looked like a airplane stalled out in the sky with one flashing light. I watched it for about three minutes and then it darted to the south and stayed at the same altitude when it stopped. Then it looked like it fell or flew straight down. The whole thing lasted about five minutes.

Small light in sky that looked like a star at first but then brightened to at least 200% of its size, then back to original size and then brightened again. We were driving so cannot say the duration of time. Pure white light and no sound. Would love to know if anyone else saw this in night sky!

Four lights hovering motionlessly in a near-perfect square formation. No sound. Lights began to move overhead us and we could tell the looked like small blimps with fighter jet wings. 3 leave in a single line and the fourth moves to a new position and begins hovering again. We could see it appeared to have clear panels on it which were leaking light. It was hovering pretty low then we had to head home. We captured crude video footage of the event.
