My daughter & I were on phone talking, she said, "What's that"? Simultaneously! She said she heard noises, sounded like interference, going "Yua yua..yua yua". Soon as object disappears so did phone interference! It was as if this "star" had a fuel-trail/light-trail, that stretched across entire sky. Just before it vanished, began wobbling left to rt, as if it lost control? Wow!!

I was driving down the road a blue gleam catches my eye. When I look up I see a blue arrow like shape gliding across the sky. Not fast and not slow just gliding at a controlled level speed. It was going to the direction I was driving and disappeared into the clouds. The object almost looked like something out of that avatar movie. It was blue with an almost ocean like pattern some parts a more lit up glowing blue the others just a even blue gleam there was no glowing around it. The weather was clear. A little cloudy but nothing to mess with my sight. It was around 80 degrees. There was no blinking lights. It was not a flight craft a man would make. It almost looked like a living organism you'd see under a microscope. I never witnessed anything so clear in my life. I could see every detail. I highly suggest some investigation as I will be looking up at the skies too now and will report if I see it again. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Last year I observed a plane with a contrail from a distance of a few miles. I kept my eye on it intermittently and upon returning my gaze upon it it had vanished. It was clear in the sky, there were not clouds or anything else obstructing my sight of it. Trail and all, gone instantly. Today, while arriving home, I spotted a similar plane and contrail, arising from the West as well. I thought it would make a good reference photo so that in telling the story, people could see what I'm describing rather than have to use their imagination. Grabbed my camera a Canon SX120 PowerShot and aimed at the plane from my backyard. The first photo I zoomed in. Took a second without zoom, for a realistic perspective. It was now at about 80 degrees angled from me, heading east, and nearly directly above me. Took aim for a third shot. Couldn't locate it. I quickly checked my camera, everything was fine. Lowered the camera to relocate the plane in the sky and it is now go! ne. As before, the sky was cloudless. It was in plain sight, not fading out and getting lost in atmospheric perspective. At the rate it was traveling, it should have remained in sight for a few minutes more. I didn't see it blink out. It was visible and then I suddenly couldn't find it in my camera. There one second. Gone the next. It happened again. I grabbed someone from the house immediately to corroborate the fact that there was nothing in the sky, that I wasn't missing anything. I knew I wasn't but this was the best I could do next to having a real-time witness.

I was walking my dogs on Sunday May 8, 2016, (Clear night with no clouds), when I saw a small flash in the sky just below a star. I initially thought it was a plane because of the way a plane’s lights blink when flying in the night sky. However, the flash did immediately occur again. I continued to gaze in the same direction when about 30 seconds later, I saw a light flash again in the “same spot”. I thought this was a bit strange. So I took out my iphone and began to video tape the area I saw this light. Unfortunately, the iphone camera isn’t the best, especially at night and the distance this thing was. The light was far away (I think) as you can see on the video. I filmed for about 4 minutes and then contemplated going back to my house to get a video camera. I continued to watch and it continued to blink every 30-40 seconds (an estimate) in the same spot. The light was definitely different from the light from the stars. I decided to film again with! the iphone and the same occurrence was seen. It was really strange. I was pretty excited. I decided to get home to drop the dogs off and to find my video camera. I found it, but no battery charge. I walked back outside to watch again, but I no longer saw the light. When I played the video for the first time, I didn’t even see the light on the camera, even though you can hear me stating “there it goes again”. I decided to slow the video down with imovie. In a dark room and watching the video in slomo, you can see the flash of light, but to my surprise, there were other lights that blinked on and then off right after the other one. Really weird. I have also zoomed in on the flash of light and it’s completed different from the light zoomed in on a star. It looks triangular. I can send the video, because I’m sure you have better software to zoom in, brighten, and slow the video down. If I had the software I would do this. I know this isn’t some amazing close up sighting, but it’s definitely odd.

Saint Paul, MN
9:35pm I'm watching tv. It's a big screen in the corner next to the patio door. The sliding door is open with a southern exposure overlooking the parking lot. Spring-the trees have bloomed.. Something catches my eye. I see four red lights stacked vertically descending at a 45 degree angle - through the trees! It's blood red the lights are well defined. This lasted only 5 seconds. I lost sight of it behind another apartment complex across the parking lot. I did make a report to the Saint Paul Police. I was told there were no other reports this evening.

i looked outside my bedroom window and saw a very bright light, i originally thought it was an automobile w/bright lights, but could never resolve lights of an automobile. it was a beautiful sphere of ever-changing bright and colorful, psychedelic lights. a multitude of colorful bright streamers emanated from the object. it looked like a kid's sparkle mini-fireworks stick but was much larger by at least 3 orders of magnitude. after very short period of time, the object began moving through trees adjacent to highway. i could see it through the trees. then, it just blinked out. i hope this report is satisfactory.

El Segundo, CA
I was in a vehicle heading south on Sepulveda Boulevard when we stopped at a red light. I was in the passenger seat and I looked up at the brilliantly lit skyscrapers on the next block. It was then that I observed a pitch black flying wing shaped object swoop across my field of vision. It emitted no lights and was moving quite rapidly into a headwind. I did not see it long enough to get a size but it was approximately forty to fifty feet off the ground and it crossed a sixty foot space in less than three seconds. It was only visible for a couple of seconds before it vanished into the night sky. It was so black as to be completely invisible once it was no longer silhouetted against the building.

I went outside to check my car for my phone in my car. I looked up into the sky and saw 15-25 silvery greenish color and were shaped like lines, as if moving without a ship. We got in the car to follow them and they vanished into thin air. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I was in my back yard looking north. I noticed something white going from east to west at a high rate of speed. It was white, small, and looked round. It was only about 200 foot off the ground (too low for airplane) going in a very straight line (not a bird) and moving very quick (also not a bird). I did not hear any sound from the object, did not see flapping wings, and also no lights.

Oak Lawn, IL
It went about 800MPH. It was diagonal/as it was moving. It looked to have odd looking lights that look sorta halogen with about 3 to 5 lights in a diagonal formation. It moved super fluently through the clear sky. It made no sound and semi big. It was not too night or too low in the sky. I was walking in the back parking lot coming out of Deja Brew. It headed towards like Richards High School. This was for sure nothing I would think that was made on earth. It was awesome. There would have been no time to catch it on camera unless there are any cameras pointed up in the sky somewhere in Oak Lawn at about 10:16PM. The sky was perfectly clear and about 60 degrees. I will be on high alert watching the sky tonight. There was other aircraft in the sky at the time. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Earl Park, IN
My friend and I were on my roof, smoking a cigarette (where we normally smoke, to avoid going downstairs) and we saw a bright light that appeared to be a few miles outside Kentland. We actually thought it was a rocket because of its upward motion. I have no judge on how fast it was travelling, but it came to an abrupt stop and moved horizontally right, then stopped and moved vertically upward. After a brief stop, it moved diagonally upwards and to the right. Then, it covered a distance of over six miles in under a minute, flew directly over-head, at some altitude past Earl Park and over Fowler. When it flew by, it looked like a normal aircraft carrier. But the speeds it was moving suggested it couldn’t have been, as it was making several tight turns and had only one bright light on the nose. When we looked upwards we counted around seven different craft, but none came close to us. They all had similar movements, vertical to dead stop to lateral movements. They kept changing directions. We headed inside to do a quick google, and because it was rather cold, but when we went outside (around five minutes after ten thirty) the craft were gone. When we went downstairs, my dog was staring at the door and when we came close he snapped at us. Which is incredibly unusual for him. He has never bitten a member of this family.

I was walking my dog and cat facing NW there was a bright flash like a do-nut, at first it appeared to be a strobe from a plane, but I did not see it continue. The flash was between the moon and the star Polaris. If the Zenith is 90 degrees it was approx 45-65 Deg. The skies were high stratus broken where the flash was seen.

The object seemed to appear out if the blue in the night sky, from my perspective north/northeast of the moon. It was a trapezoid with parallel lines of red and green lights - many more lights than an airplane has, and was 4 or 5 times larger than an aircraft. It moved east slowly in a straight line, reversed, went forward, then sideways and disappeared into clouds.

The first object I saw was the brighter and larger of the two. It was slightly brighter than Jupiter is tonight. My wife and I ran to the east about forty feet to get beyond the trees which were blocking our view momentarily. She comment that the brighter light seemed to have a shape. I said it had an angular look and she said, "Like a boomerang," to which I replied, "Or a crescent shape." The color of the brighter object had a very slight a warm hue, the dimmer object appeared white. We both watched as the two lights continued eastward at a steady rate, then disappeared behind the peaks of Prater Mountain. Total elapsed time was about fifty seconds. Total degree of travel, approximately WNW to ENE from the time I first saw them is about eighty degrees of sky, from my left to my right. The brightest object was about twenty to twenty-five degrees off the horizon. The dimmer smaller object was closer to thirty degrees off the horizon. The two were separated by approximately three degrees horizontal and five degrees in a downward angle of fifty degrees, the brighter being below and to the right of the dimmer light. They maintained the same relationship as they moved. There was absolutely no sound. I grew up living near three air bases and a major civilian airport, and am familiar with many types of aircraft. My father was a night sky watcher, a veteran navigator in the U.S. Army Air Corps during WWII. I spent many hours outside with him and our amateur astronomer neighbor watching the skies over Northern California from 1955 to the late 1960s. I have seen many, many aerial phenomena in the skies over Montana and Idaho, and these two objects were certainly among the most interesting. My wife and I are in our early sixties, college educated in science (wife) and engineering and art (myself).

Bartow, CA
A Grey Cube shaped craft (Diamond), about 50 feet tall, and wide, was flying past the above airplane level, and at completely unnatural speeds, during 9:00 am I was about to go inside my house, and I felt the need to look in the sky, I first thought it was a plastic bag, but after seeing it fly above the clouds at speeds that no plastic bag could ever hope to go, I realised what it was, a craft around 50' tall/wide, it was basically joyriding going in directions it logically should not, but still maintaining a direction towards east. It effected nothing, no sound was emitted, no magics; the only thing I could say it that it could have made me look at it threw "mind control", and thats a stretch. I could never describe it as perfectly as I seen it, but I know it was a big, grey, sky-diamond, and it should not exist. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

I saw what appeared to be a trio of vertical bars of bronze-white light, rectangular in shape and very close together. They shone for only about a minute in total but my mother noticed them as well and she couldn’t figure out what it was either. I’ve never seen anything remotely like it before now and I’ve been living in this area for many years.

He pointed in the sky and there were 8 objects in the sky that looked like stars but we're moving. We sent the drone up as high as we are allowed to take it and still couldn't see what they were. We then got binoculars and could still barely see anything but looked like a star.......they moved North moving around each other and then disappearing act nto the sky. They hovered over us for about 10 min before heading north.
