Merrimack, NH

I was on my way home from work in the middle of a thunder and lightening storm and i saw this extremely bright lighten the sky. At first i thought it was a star but it was getting closer and brighter. I rolled down my window to see if it was making any sounds but it was completely silent. As it got closer i saw it had two more lights on it, a green one and a red one. At this point i was basically stopped in the middle of the road, so i decided to pull down a road and it flew right above me. It went right above and past me and looked as if it landed in the fields of Reeds Ferry Elementary School next to me behind some trees. I kept driving down the st to the entrance of that school (it's a very very long road) and i saw the lights at the end of driveway to the school go out. After that i kept driving because i was so scared. I wish i would've gone and checked it out to be honest.

Carlsbad, CA

I work in a warehouse located in Southern California. Standard cloudless, blue sky. I was looking out of my office window and watched a plane taking off from Palomar Airport, about 5 miles away. In that plane's line of trajectory, I observed an object that appeared to fly directly into the path of that plane, but make a sudden 180 degree change in direction before impact. As I watched, it disappeared in the blink of an eye. The object was silver in color and larger than the plane in my field of view. It appeared to turn, hover, then disappear. Witness provides no contact information. PD

Westminster, CA

Black cross shaped drone with four propellers buzzing at 45 degree angle to Springdale Ave. as if it came from Los Angeles and was flying to Google? Irvine/Newport. Did not seem to have a package or anything attached below. Was traveling South/East at about 40 mph, over homes north of 405 fwy between Springdale and Edwards, headed seemingly towards Newport direction. I was in the garden. I was not aware they are allowed to fly around town like this whether it is for commercial or law enforcement/traffic use.

Lake Alpine, CA

As I looked up to take 2 photos of planes making a vapor trail crossing in the sky, I saw this huge object that moved very fast from one photo to the next in only about 5 seconds. I was alone on a rock and was shocked by this crafts size, colors and speed.

Oak Island, NC

I was outside on the deck of my vacation home on Oak Island. I was watching for more of the same lights I had seen the night before and sure enough I began to see rapidly-blinking white lights and orange orbs. The white lights were moving erratically and seemed to be chasing each other. Then one or two large orange lights would appear and then fade away. The lights were all within 30-40 degrees of the horizon. As I was watching these lights, the next-door neighbor blinded my view with his flood light. As I looked to see what he was doing, he turned it back off and as I turned back toward the ocean I saw a large white light hovering down the beach from me. It seemed to be hovering over the Ocean Crest Pier and the light was just as large and bright as the lights on the pier. I got my binoculars and looked and all I could see was a large, bright white light. Suddenly the white light seemed to fade away and a small red light appeared and began to move south toward the end of the pier. Then the red light faded away and the large white light appeared again and seemed to just be hovering. After a couple minutes I could see that the light had begun to move toward me and there appeared to be a red light on the right and a green light on the left. None of these lights were blinking. By then my mother in law had come outside and watched with me as it glided directly over us. It barely made any sound, only a quiet hum. It was moving somewhat slow and was probably only a few hundred feet in the air. It was headed toward the northeast. At the back of the craft was a fourth light. This one was large and the same orange color as the orbs I had seen earlier over the ocean. The orange light was blinking, but then stopped and remained steady as the craft moved out of sight over the houses.

Harrisburg, PA

Bright green lights and one red blinking light. Object moved towards me swiftly at helicopter height then abruptly stopped to change direction to its right. Then proceeded on in a spiral motion and disappeared behind trees.

Tyngsboro/Dracut, MA

Originally thought it was a star through some trees over a lake in tyngsboro MA. As I turned the corner and cleared the few trees I saw it had moved, at that time I proceeded to following, to make sure it wasn't an airplane. While following it down a long straight connecting road to the next town; now in Dracut MA, I noticed my radio went to static as I got close to it. At this point I was close enough to see it looked like a very thin cross shape with an orange/amber colored light in the middle. Once I got that close it would speed up andove to the other side of the street. Always stayed at the tree line. The closest I got to it looked like the curved disk shape became more prominent and thought I could make out two faint smaller green lights on either side of the middle orange one. It got faster and finally sped up so much I had to let it go, didn't want to speed. Seems like it was heading back toward the direction of the next closes river. It made no soun! d that I could hear, but many birds were chirping and flying about. Quite more and louder than usual. It's smooth movements from one area to the sky to another was nothing like I've seen any aircraft do before; and would slow down, speed up, and hover, from one second to the next. Exciting stuff!
