Oakdale, CA
September 26th, 2016, at approximately 3:30 pm Today while I was sitting in my car, in front of my house and talking on the phone, I saw a white object that I first thought was a white napkin that the wind current must have picked up. I observed this object move horizontally from 8 feet above my neighbor’s roof line to my home and across our roof, then back to about the middle of the roof, hover and then slowly move vertically away. I continued watching the object for about 1 to 2 minutes until it was too far away to be visible which I approximate to be 1 to 1 1/2 mile or so away. It became obvious to me as the object continued moving away, that it was not just white, but brightly glowing.

Garden City, SC
September 24, 2016. Garden City Beach, SC, 8:47pm My wife and 30 year old son and I were on a Murrells Inlet dock watching for satellites, two blocks from the ocean. We had seen eight or nine over about a 30 minute period. We looked almost straight up to see a ‘V’ shaped aircraft zoom over heading south. We estimate the craft to be several hundred feet across, and flying at approximately 2,000 feet. It had no lights, and made absolutely no sound. It was dark gray, but visible against a star lit sky, and possibly reflecting some of the ground lights. My first thought was a ‘B-2 Bomber’ but there was no structure inside of the ‘V’, and no lights, and no sound. I have seen numerous lights, and strange phenomenon in past trips to Garden City, and never assigned any labels to them. But this was an intelligently controlled ‘craft’.

Melbourne Beach, FL
About 2 miles out over the ocean, directly east of Melbourne Beach. an amorphic, bright, red glow hovered above the ocean. This folloowed a lighning storm and there were some clouds remaining over the ocean...thye shape changed and became sperical, as if you were looking at the bottom half of the moon; the top half being covered by clouds. The red/orang-red became brighter and the shape continued to morph. We thought, perhaps, a faulty rocket was falling from Cape Canaveral or, perhaps, lightning had struck a craft at sea and it had caught fire. Suddenly, as we continued to watch, it gave another heave of hue/brightness and disappeared/stopped/blinked out. It was beautiful, starnge and a bit unsettling. I was raised on this ocean and have never seen anything like this on any continent, above any ocean or body of water. If anyone else witnessed this, I'd appreciate hearing from them...thank you!

Morristown, TN
As we were leaving our house, we noticed a ball of light hovering over our house. We pulled over to the side of the road and just watched it. No movement. After 10 minutes, it shot off to the north west at a very high rate of speed. About 2 miles in 2 seconds in a straight line then dove to the ground at an angle. Shaped like a trapezoid, and no sound.

Las Vegas, NV
I lived in Henderson, Nevada for many years and I used to go to the Fiesta Henderson Casino which was down the block from where I lived at the time. I came out of the men's room one night and this guy appeared out of the corner of my eye about 10 feet away. At first glance I thought there may have been something wrong with him. He was white as a sheet, very tall and thin, about 6' 9" or more, maybe 7 feet. I tried not to stare but he stood there and looked at me. He was wearing an orange colored tee shirt and dark green short shorts. Both were faded as though they had been washed many times. He was with a woman that was much shorter than him. Her skin was more flesh tone in color. She looked at me and said "Klingon", just like that. I'm about 6' 1" in height and she was maybe 5 feet in height or less. She was wearing an outfit that looked like something out of Star Trek. It was black with gold embroidery. The shoulders were triangular shaped and draped over the shoulders pointed away from the shoulder. I looked back at him and his eyes were huge and they were blue. Not like these evil alien images you see on tv. His jaw was more square and I don't remember seeing hair on his head and he was not wearing a hat. This encounter lasted only a minute or two. Looking back, I keep thinking I should have introduced myself (and wish that I did) to these people but it did not go that way. I merely looked and continued on my way. There were other people in the casino that night that must have seen the same thing I did but I don't know. The Fiesta Henderson has been torn down since then and I understand they are going to build apartments on that site. Whether that is a coincidence or not, I don't know. Maybe the security cameras caught something but I don't know that either.

Saw a very long objects in the sky. had what looked like stadium lights going completely across the length of it. The lights did not blink came towards us then in seconds was across the field near the trees and then just vanished into thin air. I couldn't even blink .

Bradenton, FL
This morning around 5:15 I was sitting outside on our backyard patio. It was a clear night sky littered with many stars. As I shifted my weight on the patio chair, a large shape could be seen to the northeast. It flashed red and green and appeared to have the shape of a spark plug. At first I thought it might be a helicopter hovering. But there was no movement in any direction nor did it make a sound or appear at a low enough altitude. I watched it for the better part of 10 minutes when suddenly there appeared six soft white shapes that ballooned outwards from the original flashing lights. This new creation reminded me of a flock of birds falling into a half moon shape rather than the traditional V. The speed at which these six new un flapping, soft white/grey birds moved in perfect synchronicity was astounding! I couldn't take my eyes off them! They moved quickly across the sky in a perfect line until they were out of sight. And when I returned my gaze to the original craft, it was gone. Originally I hoped to find a report on this same anomaly. I guess there aren't many sky watchers at that hour of the morning. I'm still pinching myself over this sighting. I was almost hoping these birds were a new breed of night flyers who don't need to flap their wings while covering vast distances at break neck speed.

Crandon, WI
Could not see shape of craft but many blinking erratic lights (white/reddish orange). It was traveling very fast and extremely high (lights blinking faster than a plane and the height and distance covered does not match up with a commercial airplane). It stopped in the sky for about 1 minute, completely stalled and not moving, lights remained on and not blinking and then went out for about 10 seconds. The craft started moving again very fast and lights began blinking erratically again. It started to get too far to see, headed south but quickly turned and headed back in the same direction it came from. It almost seemed like it did a figure eight but traveled very fast and far within that time. Eventually we lost sight of it as it started to return to the area that it previously stalled at however this time, slightly lower and unfortunately below our tree line from where we were. Right around this time, we did see a commercial airplane after it disappeared coming from another direction. It was much lower and the lights did not appear the same, we could also hear it unlike the UFO.

Fort Wayne, IN
It was directly above me in my front yard, I opened our front door to tell my wife, "Hey come out. I think I'm seeing a UFO." What had appeared was a grouping of lights that gradually became longer and more numerous. It was in the shape of a whale or fish. It was difficult to ascertain whether it was one large shape with dozens of lights, or dozens of separate objects flying together. When my wife came out, I began to try to get video with my phone,(which came out blank with only audio) We live in a heavily wooded area, and we watched as the object(s) passed slowly overhead and were then obscured from our vision by trees. I jumped on my bicycle and rode a short distance to where the trees clear, and tried to get more video. The cluster of lights had continued to move slowly and ascend in altitude until, if it had been motionless, would look like a fuzzy galaxy or other "normal" object, eventually disappearing altogether.

Aurora, CO
The object was bright white, almost as if it was glowing or shining. It was heading westward towards the setting sun. The best way I can describe it is a four pointed star with the top point chopped off. I know this sounds weird, but I tried to take a picture and it would not show up on my camera. I was using only an iPhone camera and it was very far away by that point, but it was still very strange. The object made no noise, however, there was an airplane nearby in the eastern hemisphere of the sky as I live very close to an airport. The objects were not interacting, as far as I could see.

Long Beach, CA
Sad to say, I was disappointed; I immediately recognized it as some kind of lantern. I saw a burning flame surrounded by an egg-shaped transparent "plastic bag" and I could even see a few strings dangling from the bottom. I called my wife out to take a look at it and she reached the same verdict. No other orbs followed. This is not to say that I think all orange orb sightings are lanterns. There have been numerous truly puzzling orb sightings that don't seem to match the description of something that was human-made.

Belmont, NC
As my wife and I were walking our dog a black mass (thought it was a bird at first) caught my attention south west of downtown Belmont. The mass seemed to appear out of nowhere and hovered for a moment but then proceeded to travel in a southeast direction making no noise. At first, I thought this may have been a bird but there was no flapping of wings as it progressed further in its travel. Unsure of what this thing was other than unidentified.

Farmington, ME
It was plain as day, the light it gave off was very solid, unlike a street light, or a light from a drone. It hovered (70 ft from the ground) for three to four minute (Wasn't counting, I was too astonished). It did a one eighty and slowly, but surely disappeared into the night sky. At my angle, the light slowly got smaller and smaller. It ascended at a 90 degree angle and was completely gone within a few moments. If it wasn't for the wait in line to return an item at Wal-Mart, I would have missed this anomaly. Has anyone else seen anything similar? I have a few more unexplained sightings that happened in the last 9 years. In all cases, My phone or kindle were dead, so I was never able to capture any of it on camera.

Ontario, CA
On the morning of 9/15/16, at approximately 4:00 a.m., I looked to the eastern sky and saw what I thought was the “morning star” which I’ve seen before. However, this “star” was moving in a sporadic fashion. I thought it might be a plane or helicopter but it wasn’t. The “star’s” movement reminded me of a balloon floating in the air. First it moved slightly to the right, then slightly lowered, then back to the original position and then maybe slightly upward then back to original position. This pattern of movement was repeated as long as I viewed the “star”. I must have watched this “phenomenon” for at least 5 minutes if not more. The “star” shined very brightly in the sky. Very mysterious.

San Leandro, CA
First it was black, shimmering black triangles, seemed to have some sort of cloak around it. When the sun sets the cloak didn’t quite match the night sky, it gave a purplish cloud. Then, started hearing what sounded like machines during the day. I now have seen what look to be stars detaching and traveling West, fading in and out. I’ve seen what appears to be stars in a circle, it’s too many in such a small space. They look to be activity moving within the circles. I’ve seen yellow orbs coming from the same direction and travel one at a time, so close that I feel an magnetic energy coming off of it in waves. Lastly, I’ve seen circular objects, with lights red, white, around the middle traveling slowly along freeways, places are busy such as pumpkin patch event that I attended. I thought drones until one disappeared right over my head, again so close I could hear the humming of the quiet engine.

Then they just disappeared. Like stars on a switch. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Lewisville, NC
Viewed a stationary and vertically positioned hexagonal shaped series of round white lights creating its shape. Judging the size I'd have to say larger due to estimated distance and elevation. No sound was heard from my home bedroom, and after approximately (2.0) minutes it arced to its left and descended very slowly to disappear behind several stands of distant tree lines. Did remind myself the extensive Jade Helm military operation was coming to an end, but this "object" was percieved as real and not a traditional aircraft. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Close to lake white up in sky a long check mark shape with lots of red lights that would go out one at a time and then light back up one at a time. They was very bright red. It done that about 2 times and disappeared .

We saw 4 solid white lights in close formation moving south west vertical to the ground the craft then went horizontally and the four lights seemed to become brighter! They then split into two separate crafts one went in the direction NW the other continued southwest!

A large orange glowing Fireball seem to proceed in an orderly fashion headed from west to east for about one and a half minutes. It continued East without losing intensity or speed.

Carolina Beach, NC
Sept 13, 2016, Carolina Beach, NC. My friend and I witnessed multi-colored lights over the ocean. Sometimes in a straight line then diagonal. Red, blue, green and white lights in a row would hover for a few seconds then disappear or to reappear a few miles away. It happened 3 times then they was gone. Could not seen any air crafts just lights since is was nighttime.
