Phoenix, AZ
It was almost invisible, but the moon was low on the horizon and was blocking out the stars as it past. It was completely silently flying at about 500 feet high. It was about the sizes off a small plane. I live in Phoenix, Arizona Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

McPherson, KS
Was driving South on I135, and a bright light appeared in the windshield about 45 degrees high in the sky. It was straight South of our location, directly over I-135, and was not moving. At first, I thought maybe it was a traffic drone, with the Sun reflecting off of it. It had to be -17 or so in brightness. I alerted my son, and he saw it too. After about 15 seconds, it just went away, like flipping off a light switch! I check heavensabove.com for daytime Iridium flares or satellites, and none were listed. The Sun was at about 70 degrees, SSW, so it could not have reflected off of any flying craft. The light source had to be generated by the object.

I walked out of my garage. And there was one light above the Treeline. Then all of a sudden it lit up with lights all the way around the triangle and one huge round light in the center that was white and red. The lights were so bright it has hurt my eyesight; my eyes are dry and hurting.

Saw a jet flying over and was watching jet and nearer to me up in sky was a black object floating towards me, but still in sky. kept moving in my direction again in sky. i ran inside to get husband so he could see it so he wouldn’t think I was crazy when brought it up so he came out with me and saw it as well. It kept moving through the sky to our right then continued on over neighbor's house and upwards and then I came inside to ponder what we saw. not sure if it was a drone a big black ballon or what. just wanted to share in case someone saw this and didn’t think they were the only one and maybe someone could help me understand what we saw. now I am creeping out beacause I have no idea what it was. did anyone else see this? It was around 6-7:30 I saw. Sorry not exactly sure about exact time but around those hours. it was evening before dark on September 24, 2018. Wish I had recorded it and got a exact time down. No lights or anything just black.

My vision is 20/10. When this thing faded away it was clearly moving away from the Earth. I've seen three in my time (one similar and one triangular), and this was the first I've seen pull straight up away from the Earth.

Batavia, IL
At about 8:45 p.m. Central time my wife arrived home after orchestra practice exclaiming to me that there were strange lights in the sky circling above our part of town. I quickly went outside to see what she was talking about. We saw three distinct orange lights circle about three times. From beginning to end the event lasted no more than 15 minutes. They were flying low and silently. The fact they were orange peaked my interest because that is not the color of regulation aircraft lighting. The whole night struck me as odd because two hours earlier while coming home from picking up a pizza for dinner I saw three stationary white lights in the eastern sky near the moon. I assumed they were news helicopters, but now I am not so sure.

Hampton Beach, NH
During a brilliant sunset, I was riding my bike south towards center of Ocean Blvd., when I saw a long string of red orbs (spread out over a mile) level to the low clouds. (clouds at 2000ft approx) I know that the reddish sunlight was likely hitting these silent objects (but they definitely had their own light source), and they were not airplanes, as these objects were clearly distinguished from a plane and helicopter which were flying closer and lower along the beach during this time with the white headlights and noise of their props. These red objects had two tones red and a whiter color but were not like rockets (or fireworks), and were silent and moved the speed of single engine airplanes. (In the past I have seen squadrons of old airplanes returning from airshow events in general area, but these objects were nothing like that.) They moved in a line from South to North and seemed to turn into the cloud bank to the East out over the ocean. They seemed to disappear that way one by one, and I only followed a few of them to see that happen. After a minute as I rode south I saw 3 in a triangle come along the same flight path. I don't know how others a the beach could have missed seeing these, but the beach is lightly populated compared to the summer crowds. I could have taken pictures, but I had separated from my wife and it was getting dark and had already taken my quota of the beautiful sunset that day.

September 23, 2018 Sighting of object approximate 7:00 p.m. I noticed what I first thought was a speck of a cloud (as others were to the left of it) straight out my living room window which faces directly West. It was very well lit, as the other clouds also were, and held my attention. I then started to notice it was moving downward instead of off to the left like the other clouds were doing. I went and got a pair of binoculars and when I looked at it, I could see it had a “tail” and appeared to be a comet! I got my camera and began taking pictures of it, calling my husband,to come and look at it. In all I have 9 photos. The first is take normally. I then started zooming in hoping that the image would be easier to see or identify. From the time I first saw it, approximately 7-10 minutes had passed. I have since looked on-line for any reports of an object in the sky, or astronomical sites reporting comets, or any other such thing. I have been unable to find any other mention of this object. I will be emailing the photos along with a map of Calif showing approximate where I was, and where I saw the object move in a downward path until it went behind the mountain. My husband and I are both retired. We have lived and worked in the Redding area for the past 30 years, give or take. This is the first time I have ever seen something unusual in the sky and the fact that I was unable to find any reports of it yet has peaked my interest!!

Kapa'a, HI
Hello everyone. Around 5 PM, I went out to a ranch that overlooked Lihu'e, I was just walking, looking at cows and I turned around, out of the blue, a round UFO looking-thing just came out of nowhere. It had red and yellow-ish lights and it looked like it was hovering over Lihu'e. After a few moments it started to descend into Lihu'e, and eventually, it landed and disappeared or the lights shut off. Did anyone else see this?

Hollister, CA
I was exiting my living room and immediately noticed the object as I looked up due North at about 1:00 o’clock position and realized it was moving erratic. I called my wife to come out and get a look. By the time my wife came outdoors it had become mostly stationary and the intensity of the light had become bright. The light then dimmed out and faded into the night sky. The Color of this object remained a fire colored orange reddish color through out the observation which lasted no more than 2 minutes. It was quite noticeable despite a bright full moon. I’d estimate the object to be somewhere in the vicinity of the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, or somewhere in the vicinity of Northern Central Valley California.

Did anyone else see the green ball of light in the south at around 3:17 AM this morning? It came from the lower part of the sky and fell down slanting to the left and what I presume hit the ground. I seen this while walking my dog.

Initially, my first thought was it was a comment (sic. Comet) that I was seeing coming in straight on so I couldn't see the tail when it got to what I would say is double in size it just disappeared like somebody turned off the light. So naturally, I was then staring at the sky and called my girlfriend to come to look but it was too late that's when I noticed what I first thought was two seagulls because they were a white silverish color and quiet. After observing for 2 or 3 minutes they came in to focus and looked as to disc or could have been just round my view was from directly underneath. They were at about 1000 feet and traveled very smoothly until they were out of site. The whole event lasted about 10 min. The disk was also witnessed by my girlfriend. I and my girlfriend are in our 30's! and I would say we are the average well respected working Americans. Source of report indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Detroit, MI
Strange oval object in the sky, September 22, 2018 over Detroit, MI. I made a turn on a street in Grosse Pointe bordering the city limits of Detroit. As I turn right, I see the beautiful sky with pink clouds on my left. I snapped a picture of the clouds and didn’t think more of it. I looked at the picture again a day later and saw a strange oval object through an opening of the clouds. If it was closer to the ground, I would guess the Goodyear Blimp. But I’ve seen blimps flying before and this is too high for them to fly. It also doesn’t look like an airplane with the vapor trails. I’ve just never seen this before. It’s like a silver metal elongated “bullet” way up in the sky.

UFO REPORT SEPTEMBER 2018 GREENOUGH MONTANA I WAS A GUEST AT THE ((name deleted)) RANCH WITH A GROUP FROM MY INDUSTRY. I WAS WITH 4 OTHER FRIENDS BEHIND THE LODGE WHICH OVERLOOKS THE BLACKFOOT RIVER. IT WAS A FULL MOON NIGHT AND THE MOON WAS BEHIND US ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BUILDING. I SAW A BRIGHT LIGHT COME INTO VIEW AND AT FIRST EXPECTED IT TO BE A METEORITE WHICH I HAVE SEEN MANY MANY TIMES. AS IT CAME INTO VIEW IN FRONT OF ME I COULD SEE IT WAS CIGAR SHAPED AND BRIGHTLY ILLUMINATED OVER ALL IT'S SURFACE. THERE WAS NO SOUND AT ALL AND NO CONTRAIL OR EXHAUST VISIBLE. AS IT PASSED ME IT WAS ONLY VISIBLE FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS BEFORE IT DISAPPEARED AS A DOT OF LIGHT UP THE BLACKFOOT RIVER VALLEY. THERE WAS NO APPARENT ARC OR DEFLECTION TO IT'S TRAJECTORY. THERE WAS INTERNET SERVICE AT THE RANCH AND I LOGGED ON AND SEARCHED FOR UFO SIGHTINGS IN MONTANA. I CAME UP WITH A DOCTOR IN LIBBY MONTANA WHO HAD SET UP AN AUTOMATIC CAMERA OUTSIDE HIS HOUSE AND AFTER 5 YEARS CAME UP WITH AN IMAGE THAT MATCHED WHAT I SAW THAT NIGHT. HIS PHOTO WAS FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY.
