Champions Gate, FL
I was watching porn meteor shower’s, noticed what I thought was a star. Very bright any begin to move south to north. Thinking it was an airplane but there were no flashing lights on it. It stopped suddenly And remain stationary for 45 minutes. We grabbed our binoculars to see what it was in notice it was five lights right in a row with the middle light being the brightest. The lights seem to be connected to each other. My husband said had he not been here to see if he would not have believed what I said. He still can’t believe what we saw.

Forebay, CA
UFO Report for August 12, 2018. My sisters and I were driving on Highway 80 coming from Las Vegas, going to Colfax, CA. We were approximately between Forebay and Baxter, CA. It was around 12:15 am, the morning of August 12th, 2018. While looking for the meteor shower, we saw three lights in a triangular formation directly in front of us (west) with a larger set of three to the north. Both sets were stationary, the lights completely still, but blinking in a slow pulsating manner. After around 15 or 20 seconds of continuous pulsing, they faded out. First the smaller of the two, then the larger directly afterwards. After the smaller ship faded out, my sister was still able to discern a black patch where the lights used to be and no stars were shining in that portion of the sky. She was driving so could only see it for a few seconds before we were out of visual range.

My sister and I were watching the Perseids meteor shower when we saw a very bright white light flash several times while moving across the sky. It also changed directions dramatically. We were looking northwest when we spotted it.

Around midnight - I was awakened by a bright light in my bedroom window. I opened my eyes and noticed some lightning and figured that's what woke me up but as I laid there with my eyes open, I saw a strange light, sort of cylinder shaped that moved in all different directions. It sort of hovered over my neighbor's house for a few minutes. The light seemed to have a solid middle with a circular light flowing around it. I've never seen anything like this strange shape/light. It lasted a few minutes and then disappeared. I'm hoping someone else may have seen this.

Witness two: flashes of light behind the clouds, lighting up the sky multiple flashes seconds apart different areas of the sky and no streaks and no rain after hand to explain it streched probably across half of the sky and stopped in matter of a few min with no evidence in sky of anything clouds gone no planes not one thing in the sky where we see it. Witness one: It lit up the whole sky in a square diagonally shoting lite sporadically. Then it like sucked itself up & disappeaerd. No evidence it was even there. Crazy if there was ever a doubt it is definitely gone. I've searched all over for hours. Nothing like this ever reportded. They manipulate the weather to cloak themselves. Thats how we r learning to do it. What is going on? Please explain what we just saw!-!!!

Newbury, VT
On Sunday, August 11th, at approximately 11:00 PM, 2 adults observed a large yellowish triangle floating without movement above Route 5 North. The sky was clear with stars visible, except where the triangle was located. This is the second sighting; the first was on Sunday, July 29th, at approximately 10:00 pm. Both times the object remained stationary during our 10-minute viewing. No sound was detected. This is a very rural location which is surrounded by corn fields and cow barns. There are no airports or military bases nearby.

We heard others from a distance say something about a meter shower, but this object just stayed in one place. It seemed to dim and fade away, but then started to brighten back up to full color. From the eye it looked a bright orange color, but in the video looks like a bright multi color. And then something else happened and you can see it on the video but I really don't know how to explain it. Like it blows up but then seems to come right back to shape.. Please have someone call me back and share this with cause its REALLY SOMETHING TO SEE!! I promise this is no joke. I have a few videos of this object and and there was 5 of us fishing and watching it.

Was watching for meteors, saw a light moving, thought it was a jet but it was not going in straight line, it was zigzagging, staying in the same area. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Los Alamos, CA
Approximately 22:00 I walked out front of my house to lock the cars. When I looked towards the west just through my neighbors oak tree I noticed some very bright lights. I walked into the road to get a better vantage of the lights. As I watched the light I noticed the lights seemed to be moving in a upward direction. The lights started as a few but seemed to just keep coming over the horizon. As I watched the lights move Upward I noticed they didn’t make any noise but were very bright. As the lights continued upward I called my father who lived down the block so he could confirm what I was witnessing. As I was one the phone with him, all the lights seemed to turn to the south “left from their direction of travel”. The speed of the lights seem to be very consistent. What really threw us off was when the first light made the turn it seemed to slow. It seemed to slow to wait the last light to make the turn. I noticed this because of my training in the army... a technique we used on convoys. We continued to watch and take pictures and video until the lights disappeared. We zoomed in on the pictures we took and realized the lights were actually grouped in threes.

The object is orange-ish red in color and looks to emit fire or gas of some sort around it. We suspect that the object may be Mars. PD

Moscow, ID
I live in Moscow, Idaho, and my house faces west. I went outside my house at approximately 9:10 pm Saturday evening on August 11, 2018. I was walking down the steps of my front porch when I noticed two bright reddish or orangish lights low in the sky to the west. One was where Jupiter is normally found at this time of year. The other was at the same elevation as Jupiter but slightly further to the north. Both were of nearly the same color and brightness. However as I looked, the light to the north of Jupiter began ascending into the sky. It was moving very quickly, so much so that I watched for only 2 or 3 seconds before running back inside to call my wife and children to see the object. This was a strange event and I wanted others to confirm what I was seeing. I was inside between 10 to 15 seconds. When I returned outside, the object was still ascending. The light from the object seemed to slightly pulse in intensity, getting brighter then dimmer every second or two. My wife joined me outside but my children did not come out quickly enough to see it. As my wife and I watched, the object moved overhead in the sky as if it was now traveling toward the east. The rate of ascent seemed constant but very fast for an object that was clearly so far away. We heard no sound associated with the object. As it began to move overhead, it started to flicker more significantly than before. It pulsed brighter than much dimmer than before three or four times, then simply faded from our view. If the object was still overhead, it was no longer giving off any light. From my first view of the object to its disappearance was no more than 90 seconds. It was the single strangest thing I've ever seen.

After I stopped the the car, my boyfriend and I got out to get a better look. He said it was boomerang shaped behind the glow. It made no sound and eventually just disappeared.

Millcreek, UT
On August 11, a red and green very bright light flashed on and off. This particular light moved closed to the area of 700 East and 8000 South, where it had been seen before by my wife and I on an earlier date about a year or less before. On this particular night it moved in a horizontal manner to the east, then went upward, hovered then went back to origin location first seen in sky. This object then repeated itself and the lights that was a constant green at this time had then went dark. The UFO light(s) were again seen in same area, then repeated movements but this time at end of movements went up towards the clouds and disappeared from sight.

East Peoria, IL
I was in the East Peoria Festival Park. I wasn't the only one there, but I doubt anyone noticed it. I was on the opposite end. I was sitting down on a park bench and looked up to admire the river front and there it was maybe half way in between East Peoria and Peoria. This happened in broad daylight. I tried to get my smart phone ready to record but by the time zeroed in on it. It was gone. It made no sound whatsoever. FYI, I had trouble with your site previously. I tried to log the Cylinder Incident on 07/20/18 and had to re-enter it. I didn't know it got stored twice. It was not a hoax and neither is this.

The lady and her husband and family had taken a trip from Michigan to Seattle, Washington, to visit other family members. After their trip they flew from SeaTac to Las Vegas. While traveling to Nevada they noticed bright lights in between the clouds. (20180811las-vegas.jpg) As they got closer they noticed it looked like it had a dome with a glass front and a light on either side. (This is daylight and the object is clearly visible). Her husband got out his phone and took the picture presented with this initial report. If you zoom in to on the picture you can see the shape of the object. The object remained there with glowing lights until they passed by and could no longer see it. When they first noticed the object they thought it was a reflection, but as they approached they realized it took on a shape. They were about 35-40 minutes out of Las Vegas on a Spirit Airline flight and noticed the object out the window on her left side, above the wing. (MUFON CMS)

Minnetonka, MN
8/11/2018 7 a.m. I was driving east on Cedar Lake Road between Cty. Rd. 73 and Hwy. 169. The Sun was this gorgeous orange ball low on the horizon. Then it started to move. I realized at that point that the sky was heavily overcast; there were thousands of feet of clouds between me and the real Sun. Whatever this thing was it was lower than the clouds. I can't say how big it was; large enough for me to mistake it for the Sun for a moment. It didn't move aerodynamically; it bounced around on the south side of the road before crossing over and quickly descending behind the trees on the north side. It was in view for 1-2 minutes. It didn't change size, shape, or color. It was featureless; just a perfect circle of bright orange. I checked the local papers and the Internet, but haven't seen any reports from anyone who might have seen it. I have no idea what it was. It didn't have the ephemeral feeling of reflected light; it seemed very solid. It did nothing that frightened me; it just wasn't supposed to be there.

Chiloquin, OR
After reaching his home, I observed this object in the southern sky at about 179 degrees south at an 65 degrees off the horizon. It was round, with which looked like 'hands of a clock at 6:10, and white in color. The longer we looked at it and tried getting photos, more details came out. Several photos were taken and drawing in more detail. There was a wind blowing from the north at about 10-15 mph, so the object was traveling from the southern direction to the north. (See attached photo & drawing) By 1:30pm the object was at 347 degrees north from my resident at 85 degrees off horizon. By 2:20pm it was out of my sight due to trees and a butte. Altitude was hard to determine, as we are at 4300 feet, I would suspect the object was 10,000 or higher. Size, hard to say without a point of reference. Both Kingsley Field in Klamath Falls and the weather center in Medford, OR, have been called and message left. It has been noted that an object like this has been reported by numerous states recently. Observation balloon, weather instruments or something else? At this time unknown. RG Wright Former MUFON INVESTIGATOR, OREGON CS@LONEWOLFSLODGE.BIZ We suspect a high altitude balloon. We express our gratitude to Ron Wright for sharing the report. PD

Tulsa, OK
Looked like a falling star then got larger, brighter appeared to be orange sparks behind it sort of like a bottle rocket but by now about the size of what I would imagine a small aircraft in a Terminal predicament would look like. A blue hue appeared behind it around the orange and a whistle sound could now be heard. The blue diminished and the orange sparks started to lessen. Front point had turned into what appeared to be a growing glowing white round light which at first was a small circle of light but dark in the center and progressed into being all white light as the Sparks continue to diminish. By now the whistle turned into a hum that sounded similar to a small aircraft not in distress. When the orange sparks disappeared the hum continued and all that was left was a blueish or green light and a small gold/white/gold/white light and only for a moment a red light. From there it proceeded out of sight, trees were blocking my view, looking and sounding like a small aircraft but moving much faster than any plane that I've ever known of and the hum diminished respectively with the sight of it. It first appeared moving South and barely East from my location as it appeared to drop down and made almost a 90 degrees curve to head East but a little North. About 1/8 of the way towards North from due East.I don't know latitudes and longitudes. It did only travel in two straight very distinctive lines. The turn was maneuvered at the point where the orange sparks were brightest and largest immeditely after the turn is when the blue hue appeared and sparks right after that started to diminish and as the sparks start to diminish is when the whistle turn into a hum. After the Sparks diminished that's when it turned into the bluish light the flashing light which went dark and the red light which only blinked once left only a bluish-green light. White circle appeared just barely before the blue hue was completely gone, the white circle was! gone when the lights started appearing in the other colors at! the fro nt point. The colored lights were in the form of a small triangle with unequal sides when the red light blinked but the white and gold appeared in different relations to the bluish green light. I heard the whistle for about one-and-a-half seconds and about 75% of that time was before the curve and about 25% after. The curve was made instantly. Same amount of time it would take a second hand on a clock to go to the next second after it started to move but before it hit the next second, that's how long it took the curve to be accomplished. If a possible altitude is necessary I can only guess and that would be it appeared from nowhere to begin to fall from the sky and after the curve would be below the average cloud level. It occurred during a clear night, no clouds and could see stars. Please reply to this message? I know I can't leave personal info in a message, but I would like to know what that was or at least that someone has looked into it. And especially for any questions ! or comments that you might have. Thank you.

Clarksdale, MO
An unidentifiable object was seen about 30 minutes ago by my fiancé; he was on our deck and observed this in the sky west of us. He came inside and asked me to come outside and look at it through his binoculars as this is what he used. My fiancé is 34 years old, is quite intelligent, and owns his own tree service business. He is a pretty down to earth person. As for me, I am 54 years old, high IQ, and am an accountant/bookkeeper. I am level-headed and practical, but do question life and ponder deep things at times. My initial thought was that my fiancé had spotted a drone perhaps, and at first I could see nothing through his binoculars. I did get them focused for my eyes and when I got the object in my sights I couldn’t believe what I was seeing and I thought maybe I was crazy. This object was at maybe 45 degrees above the horizon and it jumped and danced about in an unorganized pattern, within a fairly small area. It looked like a bright “star” that had been attached to a fireworks rocket, with a trail behind it. White and blue light(s) were observed, and suddenly it disappeared from my sight. My fiancé said it had moved behind the trees that were in my view, and I moved about two feet left and was able to see it again, doing the same crazy movements. I looked at two stars overhead to compare them to this object, and they looked totally different – white light, no movement. I was and am still questioning my sanity, and I really don’t know how else to describe this thing. I’ve never seen ANYTHING like it in my life, and I’m sure other people who are sky watchers had to have seen this as well. Let me know if you have any questions.

I was sitting on my balcony looking toward the southwest when an object caught my attention. At first it looked like a bird (seagull) flying above the buildings across the street, then the object came closer. Looking up at the object, it looked similar to a B-1 like shape. It had what appeared to be three (3) disc shaped lights (?) on the bottom side. Completely silent and moving fairly fast. Conditions were very clear skies, with object moving from South to North. I lost visual of object as my building then obstructed my view.
