Idyllwild, CA
The light were concentrated in a confined area. We were positioned at an altitude in the mountains at 5700 ft above sea level. We were looking west into the stars 250 miles to thousands of mile into the distance. At 45 degrees to the horizon the lights had to be many miles above the sea level.

Saw what appeared to be what i think a rocket contrail would look like. 4 in total but not in line or spacing....heading north. No noise just red sputtering flame.

Marysville, WA
My nephew said what is that as he pointed up. I looked up and observed a straight line of lights heading towards us (north to south) in the sky as a plane would do. It was moving fast like a plane would. There was no fuselage. It was a string of lights in the sky. I viewed 10 lights in a straight line the first two were red, the next six were white, the last two were green. As they approach us, over our head they started forming a “J “. Then they kind of bunched up and continued on but in a scattered line. I was trying to get anyone in my apartment complex to look up. I’m a 57 male manufacturing manager. My nephew is the one who noticed it first. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Houston, TX
My neighbor walked out of my home after an evening of fellowship,,,, as we were saying our "good-nights" he stopped @ the end of my driveway,,, and said "those bright light are not moving". I joined him and said it must be a helicopter. His reply was "they do not go that high". I asked ((male name deleted)) if he had any field glasses, he said yes and we both went to retrieve them,,,, meeting back within min's @ his driveway. What we both noticed was a cluster of bright powerful lights coming from the S/SW of Houston with the object not moving,,,,but, there was a small cluster of lights moving away in an westerly direction and from time to time return to the large cluster of bright lights. The sky was clear w/o any clouds in the sky. With him having serviced in the Air Force and I in the MARINES we both thought that the object was much higher than a military aircraft, or a commercial airliner, would be flying…

At first, they sat in the mid atmosphere (plane height) slowly moved away from each other. Get about twenty minutes, the left craft went very high, and eventually left out sight. Thought craft took a longer time to leave the atmosphere.

Loveland, CO
Two shiny, medal ovals were stationary in the sky for about 30 minutes. I watched until the sun went down and was able to tell they were medal as they reflected the sunset. They sat in the same place until it was dark then appeared to get smaller and faded away.

Two individuals came to our home to pick up a chair that we were giving away. I was sitting inside the house, my mom, my brother, and the two guests were outside loading the chair onto the vehicle. My mom claims that she looked up and saw these two fairly bright lights in the air. She came in and told me to come outside, and I looked up and I saw them too. They were parallel to one another near perfectly, and looked like they were getting closer to one another. They'd be horizontally parallel, then somewhat slanted but still parallel, and then vertically parallel (they cycled slowly between these). We watched them for a fair bit of time. I ended up going inside, and my mom and brother watched them for a while longer. At some point, I went in to the backyard, where my brother was tending to the grill, and still watching the lights. They had grown much farther apart and ascended higher into the atmosphere and were harder to see. I do have both video and pictures of this. I plan on sending the pictures in, if the video is asked for, I'll provide it as well. My mother also has pictures and I think video.
September 1, 2018 · 7:00 PM · CIRCLE
Fort Collins, CO
Two very bright and large circular objects spotted in the western sky in close proximity to each other. The objects were much too large, bright, and circular to be stars, planets, or aircrafts. The two objects, over the course of an hour moved fairly rapidly in opposition directions. As they moved away from each other, they got smaller and dimmer until they completely disappeared.

Fort Collins, CO
At about 6:30 PM myself and 4 others witnessed two very bright white lights in the sky to the Southwest. These two objects moved very little in the beginning and when they did they stayed parallel to one another. A couple times in the duration of watching them they moved further apart and closer together, yet stayed a mirror image to each other in formation. At times they appeared to have a slight color variation, ranging from yellow, to blue, to green, to red, to purple. Now at about 15 minutes into our sighting, I was able to look through a a scope and see each of them at different times much closer and clearer. Though they were both definitely different objects they were similar in appearance. Using the scope I determined the general shape of each object was actually round. To me they looked like a bubble such as kids play with. I had difficulty holding the scope still enough until about 45 minutes later when I had a solid surface I could actually see up close what appeared to be a myriad of individual white lights flashing on the craft! At about this time my neck could take no more as the object I was focusing on was almost directly overhead now and it was getting dark. By the time I was able to come back stars were out and I could no longer locate the objects.

Disc shaped object with brilliant circulating white lights. No sound, object head south east. Altitude seemed much lower than a plane.

Somerset, MA
While driving east on route 6 just near the Swansea/Somerset line, I looked to the south side of the roadway and up in the sky probably less than 3/4 mile there was a craft that was as long as a Huey Helicopter, if not larger, flying about 2000 ft, it was gun metal in color with a cylindrical shape. It looked like it had four large wings that bent. It appeared to be cloaking and uncloaking then completely disappeared. There was no sound to the aircraft, which tells me it wasn’t a helicopter. Not sure if anyone else saw it, since I was driving in traffic it was difficult to pull over on this roadway. Because my of my experience in personal drones and my husband being a drone pilot, I am absolutely sure this was not a drone. It was too large and it the disappearing/reappearing also negates this fact as well.

Elgin, IL
I was at work and was told to go out and grab shopping carts. We had a storm coming and there were big dark clouds in the sky but it was still daylight out, so what I saw was clear. As I was grabbing a cart from the very back reaches of the parking lot, I looked up and saw in the sky a black sphere-like object in the distance. It wasn't moving up or down, further or closer it was completely still. And it was right by a rain cloud,so it couldn't have been a helicopter or plane. It was close enough where I could tell it was only a black object that was completely stationary. If it were anything else I was close enough to tell any details that would make it anything different. I stood and stared at it for a minute or two, but I was working so I couldn't watch it for any longer so I'm not sure if it disappeared or flew away. For all I know, it's still there. I doubt it, though I will make another report if I see it again soon. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Then a second one exactly the same shape size and speed behind it was visible. I went inside and got someone else to see to confirm what I was seeing. After about a minute of both of us watching it disappeared. No haze or sound.

Jefferson, CO
Camping...In Jefferson, Colorado. 3 spheres, 2 in hazy white light and one black sphere. The black sphere chased after the hazy spheres. They would move across the sky and the hazy one’s would disappear and show up a short distance but the black sphere would continue on its track. We watched them go across the sky. I was astonished. Have several photos.

Augusta, GA
I walked outside to let my dog out, and looked up at the sky while waiting for her. I saw a rather large light. I thought at first that it was a star, however it was too big for a star, and began blinking red and blue. I thought then, that perhaps it was a plane, as that would not be uncommon. However, the light began to move left to right, back and forth. I attempted to grab my phone to record it, but my phone would not pick the image up. It lasted 2-3 minutes and blinked out. There was no more activity.

Federal Heights, CO
Around 3:25am MST on September 1, 2018, two objects floated in the air within 30 feet of the tree tops from the north end of the canal behind Tejon Way past the point of view toward the Comcast buildings to the south of Tejon Way in Federal Heights, Colorado. I was standing at the bottom of a hill about 5 feet below the base of the trees. The first object was a small, matte, beige, pentagon shaped object about three feet in width and 1-2 feet tall. It had 0.5-1-foot-long triangular tail on the flat end of the pentagon. It was quietly traveling about 20 mph in a straight line. The object contained no lights or moving objects on it. In comparison to a full moon, or a fist held up at arm’s length, this object was about 200% the size; however, it was in close proximity. So, my best guess is an object about 3 feet in length. A second or two after this object passed by, a larger object followed within the same trajectory as the first. The second object also was matte and beige and resembled a large kite. However, there was no wind at this time and the object went from north to south, from within view to out of view. This object had a 90-degree angled nose with the wings about 10 feet long. The whole object was ‘M’ shaped with the back tip of the wings rectangular in shape with triangles on the end. In comparison to a full moon, or a fist held up at arm’s length, this object was up to 600-700% of the size; however, it was in close proximity. So, my best guess is an object about 10 feet in wing-length and possibly 14-15 feet wide. These were completely silent. I felt no thoughts that this was abnormal while it happened. It took me a couple of seconds to realize this was not an everyday occurrence.

Was outside with my dog and heard like a lawn mower (not airplane/not helicopter) sound coming from North of my house. Looking around both my dog and I until bright white & green disco flashing lights were all on the ground around me and over me it flew directly above my house headed south and disappeared into the sky.

Several sporadic flashing lights over defunct military base throughout the night. Still occurring at the time of report. No signs of flying objects.

Kanab, UT
Walking dogs at 12:05am, saw tear dropped shaped white light ball with a long streak/trail after it flying downward from the south towards the north in the western sky from the point of town. No sound, no landing noise. Figured it was so close it should have landed north of here in Coral Punk Sand Dunes. Very bright and beautiful. Meteor?

Harwinton, CT
Was seen while driving down Rt. 4 towards Litchfield, from Burlington. Very, very bright light that looked like it was falling to earth. Once we got closer, it stopped and hovered. We noticed 2 small lights on either side that were also very bright. All were white. Looked to be an oval/saucer shape. It then went in the opposite direction in a way that a plane simply could not maneuver. Was too large to be a drone and was not the shape of a helicopter. After we dropped off a friend and went back the same way we had come, it was nowhere to be found.

Prescott Valley, AZ
My friend and I were sitting out back, facing east. The moon had come up over the mountain about 10 minutes previous. My friend looked north and said, "What's that?" Low on the horizon was a moving light. I told him it was a plane (Prescott Airport is behind our location, so they are not uncommon). He said not that one, and pointed to a light above the rooftops in the distance. As we watched, it seemed to bob and drift slightly like someone's hobby drone. I managed to get and extreme zoom steady picture (which had to be greatly enlarged on my pc). It appeared to have 6 red lights and 2 blue/green. It seemed to be changing colors, but it was a distance. On one photo where I moved, it appears as a multicolored streak, showing the different colors. Thinking it was someone's drone, I forgot about it. A couple of hours later I went out to look at the stars before going to bed. It was still there, just higher in the sky. I sent photos to a professor at Embry Riddle Aeronautic University in Prescott. I knew that they had a UAV program. He eventually got back to me and said no body there claims it. I just figured it was military. Watching "Hanger One" made me think of reporting it. I sent photos to the local paper to see if anyone else saw it. They just called to verify I sent them.
