Witness went to the kitchen and from my patio doors saw two pulsating, strobe like lights in the Eastern sky. The lights flashed red and white and were above the tree line. The lights came closer growing in size and hovered side by side. The one on the left moved away from the other light and the lights of both objects pulsed faster and brighter. Then the light on the right went to the East and witness watched until it was out of sight. The other light went south and was observed to move fast across the sky until it was out of sight. Neither one diverted from its path, in other words they moved straight in a path. Witness first thought of the lights that flashed on high towers but realized there are no towers there. Witness thought it might be a reflection but there was nothing in the house behind that was lighting up and there were no windows behind witness. The lights reminded witness of strobe lights as they were pulsating very fast. They were too large an! d too bright to be airplane lights and moved much faster. Witness lives near an Air-Force base and an airport so observes airplanes, jets, and helicopters on an hourly basis. The only thought was that it might have been large drones.

One orb that changed colors, moving in all directions inconsistently. After about a half hour two more orb like crafts began to draw closer in an inconsistent pace.

I was on my porch (2nd. story up on "the Ridge") looking west and hovering over the PA Turnpike (between Quakertown Exit and Lansdale exit) I kept staring at what i thought was an airplane. After other various planes flew thru the area, this one just stayed and made no noise, and refused to do anything other than hover. After about 20 minutes I did the following..... I then decided to get some cameras out. I could not see anything in the viewfinder so I just started shooting while pointed in the direction of subject. I transferred the files from the SD Card and sat in amazement. One looked like an X-Wing fighter from star wars. Others looked like puffed up Asian dragons from artwork i have viewed over the years. One look like a superhero with arms outstretched flying right for me with a determined expression!!! I HAVE THE PICTURES TO PROVE IT. SONY DSC-W530 (I have 2 of them and one SONY DSC-S60) I am an artist and retired Professional Photographer. These "CRAFT" are not from local planet.

White circular object that seems to glide about, but then has rapid movement like a laser pointer, thought it was a shooting star at first but it wasn’t.

I flashed my bright flashlight well, on the pulse setting. Stopped it...a few seconds passed. A strange bright light moved toward earth then looped back as a needle and thread stitch ... no clouds or storms that night. I thanked the universe, and walked briskly back to the house! 🤷🏻♀️ Source of report indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Aberdeen, WA
UFO Sighting 9/18/18 Approx. time of sighting 9:52 P.M. 9:55 P.M I’m out hunting elk by myself on the Washington State coast. I’m hunting on Weyerhauser property located along Hwy 101 between the towns of Aberdeen and Raymond. At the mile marker 69 on highway 101 there is a locked Weyerhauser gate. The gate is located on the East side of the hwy. I was driving the gravel roads hunting elk in the vast forest east of highway 101 behind the locked gate at mile marker 69. After an uneventful evening hunt, I decided to go to sleep early. Once the evening hunt was over and it got dark I decided to look for a place to park my pickup truck with canopy, so I could get to sleep and get up early for the morning hunt. I’m driving east on Sprucedale Road and I take a left onto a lesser traveled road at mile marker 10. I drive on the side road for about 2 to 4 miles. I come to a crest of a small hill and find a small semi flat grassy spot surrounded by taller trees. Because of the taller trees, most of the view of the night sky was obstructed. I didn’t check a compass but I believe my truck was facing west, and the rear of the truck was facing east. It took me a few minutes to view the area and turn my truck around so I could park on a semi flat spot, with my head slightly elevated. Once I parked, I gathered some stuff to get ready for bed like my cell phone flashlight and pistol. Once I felt I had everything I needed, I shut off the truck engine and headlights. I exited the truck and walked behind the truck. I had my back to the back tailgate of my truck and I was facing what I think was East. I had to pee. My view as I was standing there peeing was the gravel road as it went down the hill in the opposite direction of the way I traveled in. Since there were no trees on the road itself. The road provided a small opening in the sky. I didn’t see anything unusual at all. I could hear some wrestling in the brush about 30 yards in front of me. Probably a small animal. I finished my business and I opened the truck canopy and, crawled over the tailgate into the truck bed. I spent the next maybe 2 minutes or less situating my sleeping bag and getting my shoes off. I get into my sleeping bag then I notice it. I left the damn dome light on. Crap, it's not going off. I must have left it on when I was gathering stuff for bed. I get out of bed slip on my shoes open the canopy door and crawl out. I walk over to the driver door open it and turn off the dome light. Finally, I can go to bed and get some sleep. I shut the truck door and turn to go to the rear of the truck. That’s when I see it. In the small opening in the sky I was just looking at a moment earlier when I was peeing now has a fairly bright slightly reddish color light in the sky. It seemed the light was perfectly situated in the center of the opening from my perspective. It seemed kind of shapeless, just light, then at times it looked as if it had a subtle square shape. Mostly it looked like light and the shape was difficult to see. No noise. My first though was wow what the heck, that must be Venus, but it seems just a bit too large. It was much smaller than a full moon for perspective. I’m looking at this light and it seems to be moving wildly but slowly in a fairly large space in the sky it was maintaining. Although it looked like it was moving, its general location in the sky was fixed. I’m thinking is it really moving or is it that twinkle phenomenon that a star or planet gives off to give the illusion that its moving. I am now trying to figure out if it is moving as well as the distance from me. As far as the distance from my naked eye it seems like it might be closer than a planet would be. At some point it looked as if the light was only 100 feet in the air. I held myself and my head very still and looked at the tree tops and the distance from the tree tops to the light. When I did this the light appeared to be motionless in the sky. After I did this I didn’t see any more movement as if it stopped when I really focused on its movement. This was confusing because it looked like it was really moving. I walked back to the truck and grabbed my binoculars from the dash. I looked at the light in my binoculars and I thought wow it seems further away than with the naked eye and a bit crisper, so maybe it is Venus after all I told myself. I was going back and forth viewing this with binoculars and naked eye, trying to analyze what I was seeing. Just when I had convinced myself this was Venus, poof it vanished. It was instantaneous, I was staring at it intently and all of a sudden nothing was there. Ok that freaked me out a bit, I almost dropped the binoculars. That is defiantly not Venus or any other planet or star. It didn’t dawn on me until after it was over, when I was analyzing the light to try and determine if it was a planet. I forgot that I was just looking at that spot in the sky while I was peeing moments prior and there was nothing there so had I realized that I could have ruled out a planet right away. When it vanished, it didn’t fly off or streak away. There was no left right up down movement at all. It was there then it was gone it just disappeared from sight instantly. There was a weird detail at the very instant it disappeared the night sky in that area seemed to go a shade lighter. I thought holy crap, that didn’t even look real. The light change was very subtle but I seen it. It reminded me of older movies where the eye could pick up the subtle change in the scenery when they cut and splice scenes. I thought the light change was like a reset or something. It almost looked fake like a movie but not. Omg maybe I was abducted and they just dropped me back off. Moments after it vanished, I jumped in the back of the truck bed and grabbed my cell phone and pistol. I was a little freaked and excited. I got into the cab started up the truck and drove away. I checked the time to see if unknowingly hours had gone by. There was no unexplained time loss. I felt like I was only on the site for about 10 minutes. I called my wife to tell her what had just happened as soon as I got a block or so from the site. The call was made at 8:56 pm. I drove back to the gate on highway 101. I drove down the road to the park and ride about 10 miles north of the gate. I slept the rest of the night in the back of my truck at the park and ride. The strange light was there in view for 2 or 3 minutes total. Its creepy to think about but If I hadn’t left the dome light on I would never have seen it. I would have just gone to sleep. It seems as if it waited for me to get into bed before it appeared, because it didn’t appear until I got in the truck bed and shut the canopy door, as if it was waiting for me to get in so I wouldn’t see it show up to watch me. The next morning I went back to the exact spot to investigate in the daylight. I seen nothing but forest. I don’t know what it was. I never seen it appear, but I did see it disappear.

They stood still for 15 seconds, then they seemed to rearrange themselves. It looked like 4 airplanes with no wing lights flying in formations that kept changing.

Fallston, MD
Was at daughters Soccer practice in Fallston, MD, and noticed a bright looking object in the sky just after 7pm. Initially thinking it was a star, I thought it was unusually bright and then noticed it appeared to be moving. I pulled out my phone and started recording, and after zooming in, the object appeared as a white sphere on video that almost pulsated appeared to grow in size and shrink back down over seconds. This all appeared to be at a far distance. It moved gently to bouncing in no consistent pattern around the sky in a small vicinity. The Sphere then became hard to track and seemingly vanished and then a smaller black object appeared very close in the sky. It was either the same object or a second different object. Over the next few minutes the bright lighted object appeared and disappeared. Because of the distance they were easy to loose focus of, but then bright lighted UFO would prominently appear again. My second video featuring the Bright lighted UFO is ended after the object seemingly vanishes into a specific direction. There is a small local nearby airport geared for recreational flying, along with drones being used around the area. The movement and coloration allowed me to ration past these explanations for the object. I filmed 2 planes flying by very close to where I recorded the object as a reference. (At first, thinking the planes may be investigating, however not moving fast as a jet, making them seem recreational.)

It was early morning with lite fog but some light shined though slightly formed in a circle. Trying to get a photo, I turned my head, and it was gone from the sky. This all happened within seconds, but I know it was really there in the sky just a moment before. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Albuquerque, NM
Above the Sandia Mountains low and east in the sky, I saw what appeared to be a shooting star traveling south to north. But it didn’t change brightness, or size; nor did it arc. It was moving fast, much faster than a satellite, and had the brightness of a planet. It made no sound.

It was pretty dark out, so i didnt notice it immediately. it blended in with the night sky. but then it made this noise that you could physically feel. like a sound warp. thats when i saw it. it started moving almost incomprehensibly fast south by south-east. it only took about 20 seconds for it to travel beyond my sight. my cat came out when it happened and got support freaked out and protective over me {my cat acts like a dog}. when i went back inside i found bruises on both of my arms.

Harlan, IA
Series of 5 soft electric blue flashes in northern sky over 1 hr duration. I deliberately set alarm to awake in the early morning to watch the sky away from the city. Lots of pulsating ‘stars’ and odd pattern movement by orbs/lights. (Obvious human aircraft with blinking lights were out circling the skies probably researching the orbs and flashes) I heard jets too. *There was similar activity in the early morning skies the day before as well, but no airplanes or jets were out. I watched the sky for hours both nights and seen dozens of zig- zagging orbs, but these flashes were new & uncommon to an avid sky watcher. *Also- owls, geese, locusts & crickets didn’t portray any unusual behavior during my witnessing.

Low ‘hanging’ light to the northeast, moved erratically like a ping pong ball in a box. It seemed to bounce off invisable walls. Its movement made no sense & it seemed to be vibrating. Simultaneously to the south, a fast gliding orb traveled across the sky and quickly paused next to another orb. The second orb seemed to be activated and it’s light got brighter & started to move north. The original traveling orb continued on its path south.

A light caught her eye as the object moved over the house going east. She saw the light was rectangular and had a twin on the opposite side. There were also two red lights as she saw the entire craft emerge from over the house. That's when the object revealed itself to be triangular in shape. She watched it as it moved slowly over an oak tree 35 ft from our garage. She could not make out detail, but the lights she said were sharp and rectangular. She could not tell if they extended beyond the craft like an attached wing , or if they were windows along the edge of the craft. She said it was traveling slightly faster then walking speed . She said the noise was not to loud but strange like huge chain links being clanged together quickly! She said the dog got frightened was whining like when she got up. Wife said the dog backed itself against the wall of the garage and started fear barking! Here's the strange part. I got up at. 12:30. I had just gone to bed at 11:00pm. Same time two days in a row... I'm a very light sleeper. Hyper alert individual. Any noise, I'm up like a lightning bolt... Last night, I did not hear a thing, not wife getting out of bed, or my dog making noise? My wife is a very religious Roman Catholic background. She has not been a believer in the past but has had three experiences of this type of phenomenon since being married to me. I wrote recently we had an experience over the house about two months ago when we both were awakened by a whirring noise like a turbine over the house increasing in speed and power until it was gone like a flash. Here is the drawing of what she could remember seeing.

Night time stormy sky. I looked up and 5 complete circles appeared forming a triangle. No lights but could tell each circle was a dark blue/grey. Flew over me and 2 other witnesses and then disappeared. Anonyous report. Date may be flawed. The correct date may be September 19, but we have no means of confirming that fact. PD

Sitting on back porch of our rental looking out over the water and several lights appeared out over the water to our left. They were whitish, yellow lights, very bright and blinking slowly. They would get really bright and then dim out. They appeared one at a time and began multiplying. One became 5 or six. They lit up and then began separating and then all disappeared. I grabbed my phone and began recording the sky. They reappeared right over top of us about 1 minute later as I recorded them. Same behavior one lit up then another then they all disappeared again. The videos that I recorded are saved to my phone and when I try to watch them they are blank. I have no clue why these videos will not playback. Both were about 1 minute in length and it’s showing saved videos but they say 0:00 and won’t playback. Definitely never seen anything like what we just saw ever before.. we heard no noise associated with these lights and the sky is pretty clear. I could see the stars out in the sky but whatever made these lights couldn’t be seen. Wild!
