I got up to get a drink and looked out of a south facing window in my kitchen and saw a cigar shaped white light hovering in the distance. It would rise into the air then slowly get lower then rise again. It never appeared to get any closer or farther away. Only the altitude of the object changed. I watched the object for several minutes before returning to bed.

Suddenly, my boyfriend and I looked up and saw 6-8 balls of light moving quickly and low across the sky. They were too fast to be a plane. The lights were moving together at first and evenly spaced apart. Then one by one they disappeared.

On hwy 108. Me and one female was driving and saw two round white moving objects flying low in sky. We continued to drive and noticed how much lower that the flying objects got before flying back up and disappearing in the clouds. I won't forget the confused state both of us was in, it's unexplainable. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

The power just went out for about 1min. Then came back on. I went out side to investigate and instantly noticed a flashing in the sky. It was a couple flashes then spread out to 3 flashing lights into a triangle. Then flashed a couple times then spun in a full circle. Then they came to a small faint triangle flashing then repeated that pattern over and over. A few times when it spun in a circle it went in opposite direction and had 5 lights. The event happened in the NW direction.

On Saturday, August 25, 2018, at approximately 2056 hours Eastern standard time, my wife and I observed a glowing red sphere crossing the night sky. - The object’s flight path was south to north. - The speed of the object was comparatively similar to other planes in the sky, not the slowest and not the fastest - The altitude seemed to be a lot lower then 90% of planes/helicopters in our skies in our neighborhood - The object flew in a straight line, in what appeared to be a uniform speed the entire time we observed it, until it seemed to putter out for a second, and restart although dimmer now and then disappeared altogether - The object appeared larger then most planes at that altitude - The color was red and it seemed to have an afterburn, glowing outer edge. It appeared to be very much like a ball of fire in the sky - We heard no discernible noise from the object - The flight location would best be described as flying over a main road near our house. If you view a map, search for Stony Brook Hospital, in Stony Brook, New York. Follow the (Rt 97) Nichols Road, northbound from the hospital to where it ends about a mile or two north. The object appeared to fly over Nicolls road northbound, from Stony Brook Hospital, to its end, and continued its flight northbound, in the direction towards Long Island Sound and onto Connecticut My wife and I just took our dog outside of our house for a walk. We got about two houses two down our block. when I looked up in the sky I saw this glowing red sphere. I always look towards the sky to observe the location of the objects in the night sky. Initially I thought it was the planet Mars, since lately it’s been one of the most visible and largest objects in the night sky and is reddish in color. I quickly noticed it was moving and too large to be planet and called out to my wife to look up at it, who was somewhere behind me and several feet away, holding the dog by leash. We both thought the same thing, was it a comet? or a plane on fire and in distress? My iphone was in my hand, on and unlocked. I opened my camera application and thought I hit record. I noticed I didnt actually hit record, but was able to hit record, as the object flew briefly obstructed from my view by some trees. I recorded a 26 second video, before I lost sight of it. My wife was able to observe for a few more seconds and she described it as “it putter out” “then relit itself, but this time less bright then before“ then totally disappearing from her vision It was nothing like anything we have ever have seen If it was a comet, it didnt make a noise, have any burning tail, or have any large flames coming from it If it was a plane, it had no visible lights like any other planes we have ever seen or what was in the sky at the same time. It was a big and reddish in color, with what appeared to be rough edges in the same reddish color, which looked like flames

High altitude object observed nearly overhead, facing north, shortly before dusk and displayed a single, quick flash of light. It then proceeded ENE over Mount Ben Lomond while changing the pattern and length of the light. The pattern would be a slowly brightening and dimming flash, lasting about three to five (3-5) seconds and then disappear. It would reappear in random 4–6 second patterns, but traveling a higher rates of speed with each observed flash. Appears to move like a satellite at times, but then its movement changes from how any observed satellite travels.

There were 8 circle flying objects hovering in sky black color in a w formation with no sound and no lights no symbols the size of the objects are close to a foot long in diameter. They got closer just above the trees height and moving side ways to the right and I got scared and took off with my son. I got a very short footage and clearly you can see them in sky in a distinct formation.

Littleton, CO
As we were driving to my parents house (on C470 in Littleton, CO) we got stuck in minor traffic. We were having a mundane conversation, unsuspectingly both looking North East up at the sky, when suddenly, we looked at each other with bewildered eyes and said, together, "Did you see that?!?". We had both witnessed one(1) gray/silver disk in the sky (while it was still light out) just sitting above us. It didn't move or have any flickering/blinking/flashing lights. We'd both stared at it for a minute while talking and sitting in traffic, and watched it zip away and disappear, after another 30 seconds of no profound movement, towards the North faster than anything either of us had seen before. (There was no box for my Summary Description so I hope it's okay for me to add it onto the end of this box) Summary Description: Silver Disk Seen During Daylight in CO, Moves at Inhuman speed. Source of report indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Albuquerque, NM
On August 25th, 2018, at around 2 PM Mountain Time I observed an object in the sky over NE Albuquerque. The object appeared to be silver reflective or translucent and round in shape. It was very still in the sky despite wind gusts of 10 to 15 miles per hour from the south. I noticed the object was at a higher altitude than the clouds, so I would guess it was sitting at about 15,000 to 17,000 feet. I grabbed my digital camera and took video and photographs of the object and I also observed it through a small portable telescope. I was unable to identify exactly what it was.

Been seeing 3 bright lights in the sky. They are too bright to be stars. They slowly move across the sky as the night goes on. Was driving down 62 from rosine to beaver dam and that's when I see all 3 of them at once. One by the moon. It was the lowest. It looked like the shape of a ship. Then the other two were spaced evenly apart across the sky. They just looked like really really bright stars. They appear every night in the sky over Ohio county (Hartford) Kentucky. Not sure what they are but definitely sure they aren't stars. Has anyone else seen these bright lights? Tonight they disappeared early tonight around midnight but I can usually still see them when coming inside to go to bed at 1:00am. They are in the sky every night. They changed color from white to yellow to red.

At 1:35AM I heard what sounded like a helicopter flying above my neighbor’s house across the street. My area usually does not have very many helicopters, so I peeked outside of my window to check it out. When I looked out, I instead saw a saucer flying at a slight angle (bottom facing me) directly above the street I live on. Usually you’d expect an aircraft to be flying quite a bit above the ground, but this UFO was about as high up as a 3-4 story building or a tall tree. I’m not very good at describing things, but the sound of the craft was akin to what a faraway helicopter sounds like. Not like when you are close to it and you can hear the blades, but just the general rumble of the helicopter. I’m not sure if the UFO had a bump on the bottom like stereotypical depictions, but I don’t recall seeing one. I was not able to see the top of the craft either. The UFO had small lights on the bottom, but not like you’d see on traditional UFO depictions. The lights were all over the place (more towards the middle than the outside of the saucer) and were colored red and blue. The lights were like looking at a distant street light, they were small and circular. I’d say the saucer was about the size of a jet, and it was very fast too. It was heading towards the nearby military airport as well. It got from where I lived on the outskirts of the city to the other side of the city in about 10-15 seconds. I personally believe that it was a military engineered aircraft, due to the fact it was flying so low, and heading towards the military airport with its lights on while flying straight over the city.

I will do my best to describe. I looked up in the sky around 12:30AM to the South of my home. I saw the moon, then saw what I thought was the planet Mars to the southeast. Orange. As I was simply observing, "it" quickly moved South then East within seconds and disappeared. I went on to my deck to get a better view but it was gone.

Solid red light moving quickly across night sky, then turning back and moving quickly the other way with brief white light, then red again. No flashing lights, just solid color. No sound. Then disappeared off to my right out of sight.

We were driving on highway 152, coming from San Fransico heading home to Porterville around 10:50 pm. I was the passenger and my hubbybtge driver when he spotted 3 lights pretty low I thought they were drones or kids plying with some type of flying planes, the lights were not big they had to be the size of a cantaloupe each and 10 feet in the air, then all of a sudden the lights disappear and my husband who is driving can no longer see but me as the passenger can turn and since there was a full moon I can see the shape of a triangleular plane but no lights are on and no sound and it starts moving and as we continue to be driving I can see it moving in the back and then it flies always at a low height and it’s gone. I can’t believe i even looked up this site I don’t know what I saw last night I just know that it’s something I never thought i could see and I’m in amazement.

I was walking towards the entrance of the park. I was just snapping away photos. It was still light out but getting darker. I took a total of 12 photos. I posted to my facebook page. One of my friends commented on one of the photos what is that. I reviewed all twelve photos and found to odd things on two separate photos. One had a triangle partially obscured but definitely three sided flying overhead away from me on the opposite side of the riverfront. In another photo maybe taken seconds after that a bright white light flying above on my side of the riverfront over the bridge. In other words both objects converging but on opposite sides of the river. I listed myself as the only witness because I was the only one who witnessed this. No one else looked up. I didn't witness it I only found out after what my friend had mentioned. Both made no sound whatsoever. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous, and provides no contact information.

I was outside with my binoculars around 6am this morning, drinking coffee and looking at the sky. I was specifically looking at Orion's Belt, which is visible right now early in the morning. It was still dark out. While looking at the center star of Orion's belt, I saw a small light fly by at a high rate of speed. I followed the light and watched it fly in a southeasterly direction. I watched it for several seconds. After about 10 seconds the light stopped and made a "U" turn. After the U turn, I brought the binoculars down to see if I could observe the object with the naked eye. I could not. I was about to re-acquire the object with my binoculars when I saw a bright flash from the object, just to the left of Orion's belt. After the flash, I never saw the object again.

My stepfather told me of a strange star outside while he was walking the dog. He pulled out his phone app star chart and exclaimed that it was Mars. I was intrigued so I walked out my front door to take a look. There I saw Mars and as I was looking at it, I glanced slightly to the right and above the light pole there was a very quick warping light almost resembling a boomerang that was shifting shape, all the while glowing a yellowish light which moved about 8 feet further to the right while in a zig zag motion, with no noticeable flight pattern, before suddenly disappearing. Upon seeing this, I explained to myself “Oh my gosh, what is that!”. Before retreating inside to immediately write this report. It wasn’t a lightning bug since it was too large and too fast. Definitely wasn’t a shooting star, too large and i could see the light in front of a neighbor’s house. It almost resembled the form of a bat, but that’s not likely unless bats warp shape, glow, and ! disappear out of nowhere. It was a very strange light, and it didn’t have a physical form. My stepdad said that my dog was acting weird on the walk. That after they cross our block, they both heard something and my dog was very eager to get out of there and back home. Whether it’s related to the light I saw minutes later, I cannot verify, but I believe it was.

3 lights lined up as a shallow triangle. Left light blinked first, then a moment later the right one blinked. The middle light immediately blinked after the right light.
