Monrovia, CA
I have picture. Seem to be a Chen trail but going straight up and the trail was dissipating at a fast rate. Was just so unusual to see a craft go straight up rather than across the sky.

Villas, NJ
They were ahead of me on road for couple minutes. Tried to take picture but too fast. Road dead ended so I lost view. If they were aircraft they stayed very close together and in a long row.

Phoenix, AZ
On Saturday, 11/7/15, a friend of mine, sent me a text asking, "What the hell is going on in your area of town?" We live appx 40 miles from each other. He sent me the photos that I attached. I walked outside and saw the same light in the sky, a bit hazy, it was starting to fade, it had a greenish glow around it. I ran inside and yelled for my wife to get her camera and get outside. She has a pretty good camera for just us "regular" ppl. She snapped a few pictures, as she said it looked like there was little orbs coming off the side of this light. After a few minutes, the light faded and a green fog/haze stayed around for a few more minutes after. One of many photos submitted to NUFORC of the launch of an ICBM from a U. S. Navy submarine. PD

Muskegon, MI
At 19:35 this evening, I was standing in my front yard looking up at the few clouds that remain, after a mostly cloudy day. I commented to my wife, who was seated on the porch, that the skies had cleared up nicely when I noticed an object in the night sky which was moving at a good pace and blocking out stars as it moved from the northwest to the southeast. The object appeared as a dull grey mass against the night sky, and is of indeterminate shape due to the lack of light. I would estimate the size of the object to be roughly the equivalent of holding a dime at arm's length, possibly smaller. There were no lights visible on the object. The only reason that I even saw it was because stars were being blocked out as it traveled. There was no sound at all, and it was almost directly overhead, as opposed to being off at an angle to me. I commented on it to my wife, but, she was not able to see it, as there is a streetlight directly across from our house, and she! was facing into the light, while I had my back to it. Upon turning around to track its course, I, too, lost it in the light pollution from the streetlight and neighboring houses whose porch lights are on. I would estimate that the total time that I saw it is around ten seconds, before turning and losing sight of it due to the lights at ground level. Not being able to estimate its altitude, it would be impossible to estimate its speed, however, it was moving along at a pretty good clip. We live within a couple of miles of Lake Michigan, and it is not uncommon for people to share stories of seeing strange things in the night sky in the area. We live within a few miles of the airport, so it would be interesting to hear if anything unusual showed up on radar at the same time.

Gallup, NM
A bright light was projected out of the air/clouds, like a controlled beam of light, and it didn't move or make any sounds. After several seconds, the light/beam slowly retracted and almost disappeared. Only a shade/fog/mist/cloud was dimly lit, almost gray in color. A second after it went out, there was a small thin trail or whisp of light that went away from it. It was so bright, it looked like a street light in the sky. The way it faded out, seemed very concise and controlled. U. S. Navy missile launch. PD

Moab, UT
While driving along Interstate 70 westbound out of Moab, UT, but not before Green River, I saw a light low in the sky, roughly 500-1000’ above the deck, with an apparent cloud or dust plume below the light around the ground. The light was white/yellow in color. It moved west for about 10 mins in the same direction I was travelling. I never reached the cloud or dust plume along the highway before the light dissipated. My initial impression was that it was an aircraft from the Moab airport, but it seemed too low for a fixed wing aircraft. I thought perhaps it was a helicopter shining a light on the ground, and subsequently saw a Highway Patrol car in the median of the road (I’m certain that he would have been in a position to film this event as he was facing West). Having heard detailed reports of the events in CA on this night, I’m almost convinced that what I saw was related, though my distance from CA makes my think I was too far to actually see that. I’m wondering if this was part of a missile shield launch from UT to intercept something in CA. I heard no noise from this event. It was hard to see any details as the highway out there is very dark and there is little ambient light from the surroundings.

The sky was black as pitch. Stars were visible. Noticed bright sky to north in a circle pattern with bright green center. Watched for a minute. Started to diminish but green center light remained. U. S. Navy missile launch. PD

Glendale, AZ
It was around 6:30 when we saw it. We were at the Glendale airport for a boys scouts event. It was dark out no clouds in the sky. The even was going on when I look up into the sky and there was this really bright light in the sky. At first I thought it was just a plain because we were at an airport but the light wasn't moving. I also noticed there was a smaller green light in the middle of the white light. I saw it for a few seconds and turned my head to look at the person speaking and when I looked back about 3 seconds later it was gone. U. S. Navy missile launch. PD

Palm Springs, CA
My wife called me and my daughter outside (her mother came out a few minutes later), to witness a large bluish glow up in the dark sky. It was oval shape in appearance, and very large. About the size of a golf ball (elongated), if held out a arms length, up towards the sky. The bluish glow (light) moved slowly across the sky, then back again, before fading out. The bluish light was not a normal light, and wasn't that bright, but bright enough to easily be seen (glow). I wouldn't be surprised if other people witnessed this too. Waiting now for the explanation that scientists want us to hear. Between UFOs, CERN, the 2nd coming - end of the world, etc...-things are happening faster, more often, and all over the world.

Valley Village, CA
I saw an orange light going diagonally in the sky. The orange light then extended itself for maybe 3 sec. It then passed behind a building so I couldn’t see it anymore. When it passed that building it left a green colored cloud and the UFO stopped to light up the green “cloud”. It projected a very strong light horizontally (approx. 30 feet long). It then started it again moving diagonally in the sky with its light on and left in the sky. The green cloud just stayed there even when I was leaving 5 minutes later. You could still see the light from very far away in the sky. I have never see anything like it.

Santa Cruz, CA
An aircraft was moving across the sky over the ocean at the harbor, emitting a massive white lighted vapor into a triangular shape which continued to expand, and then a neon light like a beam came out of the back end like a tail. We were unable to determine the shape of the craft, it seemed either at quite a high altitude, or tiny. A few small circular puffs appeared behind the the craft as it disengaged from its creation. We could still see the craft as the white light or vapor began to dissipate. The green was the color of the northern lights and was still faintly visible when we stopped watching. U. S.

Lemoore, CA
Saw bright light beaming as if a helicopter searchlight,heading North/Northwest approx 60 degrees high over horizon apparently spewing contrail or smoke plume, then it blew through a smoke circle of it's own creation, then (and I'm guessing separation)blasted through a large lazy V-shaped cloud and kept going. Could see the light from it for a minute or two, heading off over the Pacific. Assume missile of some kind, but no official launches scheduled for Vandenberg. U. S. Navy missile launch. PD

Las Vegas/Summerlin, NV
We looked up over the western edge of the las vegas valley - above Bishop Gorman Highschool area - and saw what appeared to be a giant flood light in the sky - almost thought it was from a search and rescue helicopter but the light didn't move or flicker at all - it was SO BRIGHT. It illuminated approximately 100 feet of airspace in a fan shape but could not see it lighting up the ground at all. The object/light very slowly made its way over the western mountains and then we could tell it was still on, because the mountains become backlight in the dark of night. U. S. Navy missile launch. PD

We saw it in the western sky about 6 p.m. (1800) What I saw looked like the moon emitting light except the white light was surrounded by a cloud or fog-like material. The white light emitted a ray type light through the cloud/smoke cover. The rays of light quickly dispersed into a cloud. There was cloud cover around the object as it became a diaphanous object when it dispersed. It was really strange. US Navy missile launch. PD

We witness a bright blue iridescent long trail left by a white light which appeared to be a UFO. There was a big area of white smoke between the blue light and craft. What was that? US Navy missile launch. PD

Nuevo, CA
The object was a blue with a slight green color within an orb of cloud. There were no other clouds in the sky as we had a windy day. After about ten minutes the cloud dissipated and a faint white light, almost looking like a faint star was observed fading off into the west. The star like light had a cloud coming out of it in a narrow conical shape. I have video of the light in a cloud. I could not get a picture or video of the distant light, as it was too far away. The blue light remained for another 15 minutes after the event, slowly dissipating. U. S. Navy missile launch. PD

Wilows, CA
Driving on I-5 South, south west of Chico CA two of us observed what at first looked like a helicopter facing east shining a spot beam across the sky (not pointing down). There was a very distinct blue cylinder of light emanating from a bright white light which had crisp lines as if it was perfectly uniform in width, it extended a few degrees of azimuth across the sky. Additionally there was a smaller but much wider cone of whitish light emanating in the same direction. However this object was way too high to be a helicopter. The helicopter comparison would seem logical if the object was 100 or 1000 times closer. We stared at this object for what felt like a few minutes discussing what it could be. During this time it became obvious that is not a helicopter and not static as it seemed. Then we noticed the object was moving west and the white light in the shape of a cone moved with it, the blue light column was still there pointing east (not at the ground). At this point it looked like the bright spot of light was the rear of the object and the cone seemed to be the effect as the object moved, kind of like a wake. This conical wake was impossibly big though. As we drove the object moved an extremely long distance West or WSW. The crisp cylinder of blue light appeared to smear and slowly fade over a few more minutes. During this time we could see the cone of light remain while the bright light of the object continued west. As it moved, narrower cones were created. While we were still looking at the blue light cylinder (now smeared, no more distinct lines) we commented how it was blue. I traced the object west and we saw two pickup trucks pulled over on the side of the road liking in the same direction as the event with their phones out. Eventually you could trace the object until it was extremely far away. At this point a fainter cone of light was behind it and looked to pointing up. To better clarify, the blue cylinder looked like a very bright light until it dissipated 5 minutes after it showed up, the conical "light" seemed to not really be light. A good analogy would be that space craft reentry vehicle having a large cone of disturbance behind it, however it would have been impossibly large as the object was so far away. I am an electrical engineer specializing in real time digital signal processing for high precision GPS receivers and the other observer is a general contractor. Both late 30s driving back from a fly fishing trip. I am VERY interested in hearing back from anyone with an explanation for this, whether it can be explained by a natural phenomenon and any other reports of this incident. I would expect 100s or 1000s of people should have seen it due to the duration and nature. US Navy missile launch. PD

I was driving on Hwy 20 in Yolo Co. California, 6 pm on 11-7-15, maybe 5 miles east of Hwy 16. I saw a long, bright-blue illuminated trail in the sky. It took up a large portion of the sky. The trail ended into a large cloud of smoke with a white glowing object that faded as it went straight up into the sky. This was visible for 10 minutes. US Navy missile launch. PD
