My brother and I were in the driveway when I noticed at first what I thought to be a flare. As I viewed the object, I noticed it was moving to the West. The object suddenly faded to almost a pinpoint and became white in color. After a few seconds it just vanished. That's when I noticed a second object on the same flight path come into view over the trees. Was the same red color and very bright. It did the exact same. Faded to a white pinpoint, then vanished. Same pattern occured two more time.

Was standing in my driveway about to go to dinner with my fiancee and friend from Australia, my fiancee was inside finishing up getting ready, when I was standing outside of my friends car looking in the sky to the South and talking to her saying look there is the space station. She said awe ive never seen that before I have seen it and known what it was for a long time looks like a star moving slowly across the sky. I told her me and my fiancee always look at the stars looking for ufos and satalites and of course the space station. Right as I got done talking about that there was a orb of light that flashed with no sound i said look as we both looked it flew about half mile in the sky in the blink of the eye,it flashed again and my friend said what in the world was that as it was much brighter and lower than the space station, i said idk then it flashed again then flew down couple hundred feet. Then out of no where without a sound flew off like a shooting s! tar. I was totally amazed as was she. Finally ive seen a real ufo dont know if it was extra terrestrial but i do know it wasn't a plane, shooting star, helicopter, or anything close to human possibilities. It was a light blue color and orb shape and flew in multi direction. You just know when you've seen something u can't debunk or explain. Hope its not the last time I get to experience it.

Around 8:30PM at dusk 2 disc shaped, dull/ white in color flew side by side in a perfectly straight line from East to west in the southern sky at a very high rate of speed, well over the speed of sound suddenly stopped perfectly together and shot off dead south towards New Mexico. Though out the night we witnessed up to 50 of these discs dancing throughout the sky from a dull color and would light bright white when making sudden stops and cuts. At one point about 30-40 of these disc formed together, almost like a swarm of bees slowly moving from west to south eventually shooting dead south in a flash. I took 2 videos on my phone thinking it would not be powerful enough to capture the dull, silent fast disc...rechecking, I did capture them! Never seen anything like it.

Hemet, CA
On September 15th, 2018, at approximately 8:00 PM, I was in the parking lot of Derby's Bar & Grill in Hemet, California, facing the street when I saw an inverted triangle-shaped craft. The craft was black with four small white lights on each corner and one larger white light in the center. It appeared to have a faint purple "aura" around it. The craft was moving from left to right and was completely silent. It was maybe several hundred feet in front of me, and less than a hundred feet from the ground. I observed it for about 10 to 15 seconds before it disappeared from my view. I did not see anyone else outside during the sighting, and I have not made any formal reports about the incident. * The attached image is a quick rendition I made in 2019. The craft was slightly larger than I drew it, pretty much filling the gap between the trees where the drawing appears, and equilateral.

Numerous witnesses of changing phenomenon in the sky. First noticed A vertical beam of lights. Then within close proximity was an orb of some type filled with colored lights and then it was projecting geometric type shapes at random constantly changing. Then back to being filled with lights. This went on for several hours and they moved very little until they were gone, then after a while I found 2 very translucent orbs right above us filled with dim soft white lights that seemed to sparkle within the orbs

We saw 4 bright oval lights in the sky in a straight row and then they flew around and moved in different formations. They then changed colors and had a light display. Then went back to 5 very bright lights in a row just sitting there. After the sighting my daughter and I feel very weird and light.

Painesville, OH
On September 15, 2018, at approximately 5:45 PM Eastern Standard Time from Painesville Township, Ohio, in Lake County, I was witness to a group of 6 UFO’s. The sky was clear blue and I first saw the UFO’s in the Southeast sky traveling Northwest at an estimated speed similar to airliners. There was a cluster of 4 UFO’s with 2 more UFO’s trailing. They were not in a symmetrical pattern, but they did stay in formation. At first glance I thought it was a group of balloons that somebody released, because even though the UFO’s were traveling in a straight path, they had the appearance of floating through the sky like balloons or bubbles. I say they were bubble-like because when I was looking at them, they were traveling in a straight-line trajectory, but they seemed to each individually be floating like bubbles with a small wobble. The UFO’s were round and white and did appear to have a reflective surface but there were no visible lights or changing of colors. I know! they were not balloons because they did not separate from each other and they moved too fast. I recorded the UFO’s with my G9 Samsung phone and was able to capture about 30 seconds of quality footage. The UFO’s are not blatantly obvious when watching the video, but if you take the time to pause the video and zoom, you can see them all no problem. There were no noises coming from the objects, and no trailing aircraft. I called two small local airports to see if they had any radar pings that matched my story, but the Mentor on the Lake airport said they didn’t have that type of equipment and the airport in Highland Heights said that it was handled through the large radars at the major area airports and that I’d have to contact them.

While outside in the backyard on a clear and beautiful night 1:44 am walking around talking on the phone facing east all of a sudden a “low attitude” Brilliant bright light leaving no streak cruising for about 3 seconds traveling from Rt 70 Hooper towards Princeton ave.. had no shape just a very bright light with no sound. I’m not saying it’s a object and I do occasionally see meteors this was extremely low! I have the single engine prop planes flying banners over my home all summer from Lakewood it would be on that level.. it was not a aircraft..if anyone else saw it please report it on here.

Chesterfield, VA
While driving home at 1:30am on September 15th I saw one bright flash of white light that lit up the entire night sky white. The car radio then went to static so I assumed lightning had struck a radio tower, but then the entire night sky, absolutely all of it, lit up bright red for 5 seconds then bright blue for about one second and then another bright white flash. After the final white light the radio came back on and no other lights after that. I can’t think of any man made light source that could light up the entire sky that intense, and I regularly drive past airports that project light into the night sky but nowhere near that amount. This happened on a highway passes by mostly residential neighborhoods and at least 10 miles from even the smallest airport let alone the large one on the other side of Richmond City. By the way, I was listening to Coast to Coast Am at the time.

Boston Mills, OH
It was faster than an aircraft, without a doubt. It had two bluish/green lights at opposite ends. Trust me. I tried taking pictures but you couldn't see anything behind the trees. But I could see the the shilloquette of the object. Nothing in the laws of aerodynamics could explain it. I'm really shaken by it. It was creepy. I'm a former physics student and I can't explain what I saw. It's really bothersome. When I looked at the Ohio index, i saw ! the same description match my own experience and it creeped me out. We were on the Stanford Rd, in Boston Mills township, and the craft flew over the Waldo Woods, between Brandywine Falls and the Stanford House.

AT 9:45 p.m., I was out in my yard with my 2 dogs. I live in a wooded area on the top of a valley. At first I saw an orange light through the trees. I didn’t think much about it until it broke the tree line. Roughly 250 ft in the air and traveling around 75 mph, a large orange sphere appeared. It had appeared almost liquid in appearance, luminance. It was large. Around the size of a huge SUV. And silent. It had passed directly overhead. I could see a smaller dark orange circle moving around inside the larger orange circle. It traveled about ½ mile further and just blinked out. The sky was crystal clear with no wind. No reaction from my dogs. And I was oddly calm for seeing my first U.F.O. I did get a feeling that it was not mechanical… but rather alive in a sense. Imagine the feeling you may get watching whales swim on a nature program.

First of all, I am not a night sky watcher, astronomer, UFO hunter, weather tracker or any form of such things. I might watch a UFO documentary once in a while, but I want nothing to do with aliens, both fictional or non-fictional. I happen to know a few of the constellations from school and my father. I saw Neptune through a telescope once, out of state. I know a little bit about weather but this is the extent of my experience with such things. I was crossing a parking lot to go home tonight and I saw a strange man cross my path. I looked up and he turned to look at me. When I realized he wasn’t interested in me, I just watched him for a couple seconds and then something caught my eye overhead of him. When I realized what I was seeing, I turned to see if the man was still around because I wanted to draw his attention to the lights but he was already gone. I looked up to see two reddish-orange orbs flying upward in the north sky. I just stopped to watch them. Usually, there are planes that cross this path going south to the nearby Peoria Airport. The lights were big like the lights of a big plane nearby. They were spaced far enough I thought they were the lights you see on either wing of a plane. Only one problem, there was no plane in-between or attached to these lights. I watched them ascend, in a slight curve and then turn right (my left) and as they went over this one spot in the sky, they dimmed, almost turning white and completely fizzled out. There was a single light coming up from the tree line, same kind of light but single. I watched it ascend, also take a right turn and disappear in the exact location as the first two. But again, before it completely disappeared there was another light ascending. Also, these were doing this as in formation and pace and such. All together, there were the first pair of lights and then 5 single lights after - 7 lights total. Every one of them disappeared in the exact same spot and in the same manner. I was searching my brain for an explanation of what these were: planes, weather balloons, hot air balloons, falling stars, fireworks, comets, Chinese lanterns, helicopters, flares, you name it, I was thinking about it, and ruling each one out. I am colorblind with reds/greens/browns and can see these colors if the brightness and hue and lighting is just right. When Mars was visible people would say, “Look how red it is!” And I could not see this for the longest time. At one point, when it was at a different location, I was finally able to see a faint redness to it. These orbs were very distinct, bright, true color-there was no question what color they were. Because I was coming home from a bunch of errands, I did not have my digital camera with me and I was not wearing a watch. But it was somewhere between 9:00 PM and 9:30 PM and lasted close to 5-10 minutes. I was also questioning how the orbs just disappeared when I saw the first two and thought it was just a plane turning and making it skinnier from the angle. I also thought about the fact that maybe this set of lights went into/behind a cloud. But it didn’t take me long to realize, there’s no clouds! I could see the big dipper to my front left, another constellation (forget the name) to my front right and I could see a cluster of stars and individual stars where these lights kept disappearing. I scanned the sky to see when I would see the lights again and it was evident that when they looked like they fizzled out, that was the last I was going to see of them. It almost gave the impression they went into a door, portal or whatever it was, to make them disappear. I waited after the 7th one for almost 5 minutes to realize that the show was over. The thing too, is that had they turned to make it harder to see them, they would have eventually straightened out and I would have seen them again. This did not happen. I rushed home, set all the stuff down, grabbed my digital camera and went back out there. I waited around another 10-15 minutes; I was hoping to see something again but nothing else happened. I called NBC WEEK 25 to inquire about this sighting and was transferred, but no one answered and it did not go to voicemail to leave a message. I then decided to E-mail them but no one has responded as of yet. I have also been scouring the internet for the past two days, to see if anyone posted this sighting, to no avail. I really want to know if anyone else saw these and possibly know if these orbs are indeed UFO’s or drones or something else. I only know they are nothing I have ever seen before. One last thing I would like to point out is that when I was back out there with my camera, a plane went overhead that was very high-the height of a cross-country flight. And I could see it fairly well, the blinking lights, the movement and such and the orbs I had seen earlier made this plane pale in comparison.

Highlands Ranch, CO
Had the same pattern of travel North up Quebec to I-470 then south across Lone Tree to Highlands Ranch. Would travel consistent moderate speed. Then the double white solid lights on each end with red blinking light. Thought it was a drone, but it traveled up to the sky too far upward and then would drop down and freeze in place and change direction. Always consistent with speed, it stopped when I stopped in my car, I believed it was following me. The object waited for me at one point at a friend's home, and as I came out of the house an hour after I saw the object it then passed right above me again near the south of Highlands Ranch open space field. It flew away, and then went back up north past I-470 and then back over to where I lived in Lone Tree.

Lathrup, CA
I was returning to my tractor trailer at a large trucking depot. I have made a habit of always looking up as I have never seen a UFO in my 60 years. Always wondered if they were in fact real. This night I was 15 feet from my truck, it was parked in a row with other trucks that reach almost 14 feet high. They were blocking the flood lamps so I was peering at a hazy, few stars night sky. My estimation was the object came over at 100 feet. It looked like a rounded off square, flying corner first. It was bowed so the lateral corners were facing downward.It was smaller than maybe a Piper Cub aircraft, but not by much. Of course at that time it looked dark gray. Just lighter than the sky around it. It moved absolutely silently (the trucks were shut down for the night so it was dead quiet). There were very week pale white lights at the corner of each downward facing "wing". If I had not been looking up, I would never have known it came over. It vanished o! ver the top of the trailers and was gone.

Tell City, IN
Three of us were star gazing into the night sky after seeing several shooting stars. While we were looking into the sky a solid black oval shaped object moved from west to east across the night sky. There were no lights. This object blocked out the light in the nights sky. This object was very large and moved at an extreme speed. The entire event lasted less than 10 seconds. Left all three of us speechless. There was no sound. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Oregon City, OR
Metallic cigar shaped craft in the sky above downtown Oregon City at 7:45 AM. On way to school Friday morning I just turned off the 99E onto the Railroad Ave. (ally next to tracks) in downtown Oregon City when we noticed two young men outside their car on the right side looking up in the sky. One of the men appeared to have been taking pictures with his phone and was on the other side of the road, as we drove by we looked up, but could not see anything as the buildings were blocking most of our view. Then as we started onto the 7th St. bridge my son says, “There is a silver cigar shaped craft in the sky, it looks like a commercial aircraft with no wings, its big like a 747 and is reflecting the sun, its very shiny” He was looking to the right (North) above the Willamette River. I tried looking up and through my sunroof, but could not see at my angle, plus I was on the narrow 7th St. bridge, so I had to also keep my eyes on the road. After crossing the bridge my son said it had disappeared into the clouds. My son is very into planes and jets and can tell what kind of aircraft is flying overhead down to the specific model of plane and airline, I firmly believe the detailed description he gave me of what he saw. I am hoping that the young men that were looking up saw it as well and were able to get some pictures as I would also like to see this craft. I am also curious if anyone else got a glimpse of this craft, it was a busy morning and there were a few people out walking.

Imperial, MO
My wife woke me up at 05:40 ecstatic over something outside. We proceeded out to our driveway where we viewed a group of white orbs or lights moving in all different directions around one main orb or light. The movement was from southwest and moved in a north to northe east direction. At several points during the 15 to 20 minutes we noticed that the shape change from round to triangle and then back to round. The smaller orbs or lights were moving erratically around the stationary or very slow moving center orb or light. The moved at a very slow rate of speed in the direction of travel but the smaller orbs or lights moved extramly fast around the main orb or light creating the different shapes. It only disappeared due to the sun coming up.

My partner and i woke at about 5:15 a.m. to our dog barking upward at the sky out our the bay window, in-which brought our attention to notice what looked like a bright hovering star made of multi-color pulsating lights just SE of us. The unidentifiable object seemed to be a solid to our eyes (with pulsating red, white, bluish green lights). After a few minutes of staring, we decided to video the unbelievable sighting. Prior to that, the object seemed to hover and slowly change position in a hovering motion.. When zooming in upon the video taken the object looks more orb/sphere like, than what we witnessed w/our naked eyes. During the event we saw 3-4 helicopters/planes go near the object then abruptly change direction nw(notsure if it was the same helicopters/planes that just circled around). We both were mesmerized by the object and lost sight of it, especially with the multi color aura like beams that emitted from it, and only when checking the newly taken! video of the UAP to see if it recorded well on our IPhone 6/along with trying to view so we could get a better look at what it was. We both have experienced other uap’s (2 to be exact in the past) and odd synchronized events that we could not explain, but nothing that we were able to get pics/video of and as mesmerizing as this.
