Summerville, SC
My wife was outside with the dog and called me out of the garage. She said look up in the sky over there (W) in the distant there were numerous orange/red lights moving from west to east. At first I thought they may be helicopters, but I couldn't hear the rotors. Slowly the lights started to fade away and then across the sky more light started to appear, they were flying in a V- formation, then they started to separate to fly in their own paths. I walked down the road trying to see what they were, but then they just dissapeared. My daughter also saw the light when she came out of her bedroom, through the window in our loft. Witness corrects date, to reflect a date in May 2016, not 2015. PD

Was walking out of work and have little way to walk towards the end of the building I work. 2 bright white lights caught my eye, because they were low and flying fast. Then all of a sudden they split in two one left and the other went right, the speed when they split and was so unbelievable fast, I have never seen anything like that and was in amazement that they could move so fast like they did, wish I knew what I was looking at because I would have tried to see some sort of shape.

I called the FAA but they didn't know anything. Interesting though, the live DFW tower radar showed no aircraft in this area during that time.

Tonight about 10:24pm, I was outside with my cat and noticed a low flying, bright red flashing object in the east horizon over the nearby highway. It appeared to stop, and then another appeared from the east, and then four more objects appeared and they appeared to just hover together. Then aone by one, the lights were gone (like they turned them off, and a tiny light seemed to drop straight down, like ashes or a hot ember until nothing. As I looked around in the sky over the trees, 2 more appeared in the same area, hovered very close to each other, then "lights out" and then they were gone. No sound whatsoever.

Pickering (Canada, ON · Canada
1:00 PM Lunch Break Ends. Saw a blue light on the sky, and took a picture of it. Show it to a work colleague and he notices on the top left of the blue spot something like a dragon tail with white scales. I'm not sure what it is, is just interesting cause the location is like approx. 1 mile NE of a Nuclear Plant. I will try to use adobe Photoshop on a different spectrum to see if different details will be revealed. I'm not suggesting is an UFO, I just want to be seen by somebody more knowledgeable in this field than me. I'll attach 5 pictures with different degree of zoom. (hope I will be able to) Thank you for your time.

Initially it appeared as though the helicopter was flying away from me and that would explain the light of the decreasing, but within seconds the light vanished. I watched for two minutes after and so and saw no more lights. I am a logical person and am hoping othe rsomeone saw this and there is an easy explanation. Military, I don't know? This appear to have been in the proximity east of I-75 and Fruitville Road. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Phoenix, AZ
This reported sighting is located in the state of AZ in Phx and was a few years ago from 2019. Typically during the night a bathroom break is a normal part of my life and this time a walk out the back door between 2 and 3 am was on my mind. Once outside, all quiet, plenty of stars out, no moon I saw what at first looked like a typical satellite until the behavior did not act like a satellite which usually is a constant movement with a constant illuminessensce going across the sky. As the thought of this particular sighting seemed odd and unusual, it is remembered. The object was as high as a satellite, much higher than jets or so it appeared so due to no outline of the object could be seen. It was not a shooting star either. All quiet outside while looking straight up, this object all of a sudden when bright for like a solid 4 to 5 seconds and held its brighness and as it was holding its brightness the object DID NOT MOVE at all. Then the object dimmed out slowly and DID NOT MOVE. Then the object went from dim to bright again for 4 to 5 seconds and DID NOT MOVE. This pattern repeated itself three times and then stopped. I always wondered what it could possibly be, but really, what kind of information would anyone know on this type of behavior, not to mention the responses of "crazy," so really I have kept it to myself. This might be nothing but it might be something, who knows. Thanks

West Palm Beach, FL
At approximately 01:00, on the night of May 10, 2016, I was woken to a very low frequency humming/pulsing noise. I got up, went to the window, nothing. So I ran to my balcony for a better view of the sky. The only thing I can say about what I witnessed was that the night sky was red, BRIGHT night - the brightest I have ever seen. The moon was only about half full at this point, but I could not identify a noise source and noticed the pulsing almost seemed to move across me - as of it was something tangible. Seemed to be eminating from south of my location. This noise was almost intoxicating - I did not want to move. I walked inside and about thirty minutes had past, but where the time went I do not know. It felt like less than five minutes from when I woke up to coming back inside, but that was not the case. Upon entering my house my dog (she is a hearty boxer) started backing up very slowly and began a low growl. I walked up to her and as soon as I touched her she was herself again. I also have three cats that would not come out of my bedroom until days later. I woke up the next morning with what appeared to be one long hive stretching from my mid thigh all the way up to the back of my ribcage (right side) - I have never had 'hives' before, but I brushed it off - initially. It has been almost a complete seven days since and the one big hive has not budged - not even itchy. I can run my hands along it without even realizing I am doing so. This is the most frightening experience out of the whole sha-bang. No craft was visible to me and I have not heard the pulsing noise since that night. I did bring my phone outside with me and thought I hit 'record' bc I remember hitting the 'stop' button upon entering my house again, but no video was recorded - no sight, no sound, and no time stamps. Ever since hearing this I have been on a mission to find others who might've heard this, as well. My parents' live about two miles north of me and I asked them both if they had seen or heard anything odd that Tuesday night. Both said no though my father did state the sky looked different that night than any other. My father has been sailing the world for over forty years so for him to state this... It means a lot to me. If anyone else in south Fl heard this, please make yourselves known. Thank you.

Another pair of triple vertical lights in a different direction, the first was caught on camera from our game cam on 5/1/16 (north), now on 5/9/16 (east) in a different location. This picture of the pair was lower to the ground, but on 5/11/16 at 9:05pm my wife went to let the dogs out and while looking to the east she seen the same pair of lights (west this time) about 60 yards away about eye level then she said the lights floated straight upward to the tree tops (around 60+ feet tall) and then quickly disappeared, she said there was no flashing of these lights the pair of triple lights never faded as they moved either.

Goose Creek, SC
I saw what I thought was a child's balloon that had flown away. It was lit by a dull orange light and seemed to wobble through the sky. I quickly realized that it was moving much too fast to be a balloon. Before I could judge size or distance, it was already out of sight. It flew roughly south to north and two conventional aircraft were visible in the sky at the same time. The unidentIfied aircraft made no sound.

Small star like in size that looked like a shooting star at first moving from West to East. We were watching the night sky and seeing the speed of shooting stars thinking this was one too. Initially spotted by one of us then seen by both. The object moved as fast as a shooting star but once overhead began to move right then back left several times. It moved so fast across the sky and altitude higher than airplanes that were flying by. It was amazing. Zigzagging, then fading away. No sound or trail. It looked like a star moving across the sky.

Telluride, CO
Background that may be relevant: I live in a remote area outside of Telluride up in the mountains (around 10,000 ft elevation). A few months ago I was SURE I had seen a disc-shaped UFO land with white lights land below the mountains that comprise our "view" out of the picture window in our living room. At the time, I convinced myself otherwise and figured no one would have ever believed me. It was gone before I could get a picture and I was sure I must have just mistaken a private airplane since there are folks in the area with them. That being said, what I saw was NOT the shape or size of a private plane. It was much larger (perhaps because it was lower than planes usually are) and completely NOT a plane's shape. I kept this sighting to myself. Fast forward to last night at just after 3am. I was alone with my toddler at home and was awoken by an insanely bright light being shone coming down into our house angled from above. It was blinking on and off at a normal interval (for 3 seconds or so lights would be ON, 8 seconds they would be OFF). It seemed to be coming from above the area in between our home and our neighbor's home which is actually the guest house on the property. It was like my whole house was getting lit up by a flood light. Because we live in the middle of nowhere on a mountain top, that amount of light is noticeable and jarring… This went on for about 45 minutes to an hour - pretty sure it was just hovering above our property or parked in the trees?? (I think - I was actually terrified and just put the covers over my head after walking around the house a bit and making sure doors were locked (as if that would matter, right??)). Because my husband is out of town, and I let my 4-year old son sleep in our room with me, I did not want to wake him or scare him and I was way too chicken to actually go out and look at the full shape of the craft (or get a picture - DUH!!), but I believe it is likely a craft like the one I saw before (disc-shaped with white lights on the bottom) based on the way the light was hitting our home and the one across the way. I cannot tell you how insanely BRIGHT the light was. All of the lights in our place were off and this lit the whole place up. I am regretting I didn't get a picture for proof, but I was actually a little worried about my safety because this thing was right outside our window above the house. Whoever or whatever was in there would have definitely seen me and I did not want to see them! We had our blinds shut in our bedroom save for a 2-3 inch crack at the very top which is why the light came in and was shining right on my face and woke me, but at the same time, I could not actually see the whole ship either (these are the kind of blinds that drop from the top of the window). Our bedroom is the one room on the side of the house that the light was coming from but the light was hitting in through to our living and dining rooms as well. Not sure what else to say - I know I didn't fully "see" a UFO this time around (though I now believe I saw either this same craft or one like it a few months back), but I KNOW that I fully experienced it. I can't wait for next time - I'll be ready and think to get phone or video then (if I don't completely freeze up and chicken out)!!! We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she sounded to us to be quite sober-minded. We asked whether the effects she describes above might have been caused by a sighting of Venus, and she was emphatic in assuring us that Venus could not have caused the flickering effect of light she witnessed in her home.

My friend and I were walking to my car when he notices a very large charcoal black blur moving faster then any plane I've ever witnessed cross the clear night sky, the craft made zero noise but we could clearly see the moon's reflection off the top of the enormous craft before it was gone. 5 mins later In the distance there was a blinking orange light that was circling around a large area, then seemed to change course and follow the same direction as the other object but at half the speed and medium low altitude, we could hear the Jet's engine roaring the sky as it passed.

We are looking to find out what is in this photo from our game camera on our small farm. We have never seen anything like this on any of our pictures. This is facing north and is below the top of the tree line facing the treeline of woods. Only this one picture was on the SD card, we didn't see it in person either. Photo indicates two clusters of lights. Each cluster consists of several lights, oriented vertically. PD

Ponce Inlet, FL
Went to beach to try to catch some shooting stars in a pretty dark area. I noticed what looked like to be a bright star begin to move a little. At first I had to confirm with a friend that I was seeing what I was seeing. Over the course of an hour and a half we watched it zig zag around in the sky. Turning from green to blue to white. Possible it is still floating around off the east coast of Florida over the water. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

there was a flashing blue light up in the sky, traveling erratically. The flashing light was very erratic as well and nothing like I have ever seen before. It was traveling southward close by 99.

South Kingstown, RI
While driving home on US Rt. 1 South in Rhode Island, something caught my eye to left and above me. It was a spinning intermittent bright gold and darker gold star-light object, about 12 inches around. It reminded me of the gold star that we used to put on top of our Christmas trees. I first thought it was something attached to a string and attached to the electrical wires at the other end, but there were no wires. The object was stationary but spinning, about 30 feet above the highest electrical wire below it. I slowed down to get a better view, thinking then that it might be a small drone, but there were no propellers. It was spinning very fast. I passed it, then looped around to head back to see it again. As I approached to where the object was a flock of birds flew in a burst away from a nearby treeline near the farm house where the object was first sighted. I stopped and looked, but it had moved...possibly to where the birds had flown from. I had to get back home so could not take any connecting streets to Rt. 1 to see if I could located it again. It was just very strange and I have no explanation for it...other than a 'probe' that UFOs have been know to use to gather information while keeping a low profile. Source of the report describes himself as a public employee. Based on our communication with him, we surmise that he is a very good, and reliable, witness. PD

White House, TN
Ufo sighting 4/24/2016 White House, Tn, 37188. Walking North back from my garage to my house at 10:28pm, I spotted a red light, very bright, in the sky, Northeast from my perspective. It was moving in my direction as I spotted it. I first thought it was a typical airplane as I live not far from Nashville International airport approximately 30-40miles south of me and I see airplanes frequent. As I was walking up my drive I gave it a second glace and it seemed to stop, so I stopped to get a better look. It just sat there still , I could clearly see a single bright red, and a single flashing green. I wasn’t sure if it was a single red or two reds that were possibly close together. I was tyring to figure out what I was looking at when it made a u turn maneuver and started back northeast and then stopped again. I started walking up my drive quickly as I was trying to get passed a tree until I reached my back door. I stood there watching it spin and do small maneuvers almost dancing like. It never made any noise that I could hear. I called my brother, he lives next door, in hope he could run out to see it as well. He was not home but driving home just seconds away, I was talking to him on the phone as it again turned and flew out of site. He missed it by merely seconds. The great thing was my brother managed to trip the motion sensor on my front porch cam as he is driving toward me, so I did get about 8 seconds of footage before it moved out of site. Now I’m not saying it was aliens, but a true UFO certainly from my perspective. I have a fascination with the skies and frequently look at stars and anything moving in them. Actually I think it was probably military according to lights. It did seem to move like a helicopter, but it made no noise that I could here. I live in a very quiet town and I can here planes and heilcoptors on a regular basic, even the more stealthy military choppers I can here at that distance, but yet I never heard any noise. I was excited to finally see something I couldn’t explain what it was. I have very good perception of different things I see in the sky. I am a model aircraft pilot and enthusiast and I’m aware of the possibility of a drone or an unmanned craft. It didn’t strike me as any model type craft. Funny thing is, it almost seemed like it saw me looking at it and it did’t know what to do. I will include a link to the surveillance cam footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ub71hgRIm0&feature=youtu.be Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Bonita Springs, FL
While looking to the South, I witnessed a very fast moving object which had at least 2 visible lights on it, moving from West to East above the tree tops, but far enough away to suspect it was off at a distance of miles. It traveled faster than any human occupied object, and turned to the South before speeding off quickly even faster. It made no noise, nor did noise arrive after it passed.
