Covina, CA
I saw an unusual small plane with a red 30-40 foot thin light emitting from behind. Suddenly I saw a bright blue streak followed by a large bright circular white light in the sky. It must have been miles wide. I took a pic with my cell phone. The white light disappeared within a few minutes and the blue light remained a little longer before disappearing as well. The small aircraft was gone. U. S. Navy missile launch. PD

Palmdale, CA
Me and a friend both spotted what appeared to be a bright light in the sky, and when we went inside to grab a camera, it disappeared and all was left was a blue glowing luminescent 'cloud' where the light was. The blue glow stretched out and looked like a comet at first, and then we noticed it went back to a oval shaped cloud, and minutes later, it disappeared as well. Also, when we first got back outside, we noticed another smaller blue luminescent a little bit away from it, and shaped like a tipped over 'V'. (Side note: Other people that my friend knew also reported the light and cloud as well) U. S. Navy missile launch. PD

Paramount, CA
A light looking like a falling star slowed down.. Then began to drop melting material from its tail stream.. As it slowed it then stopped... And the melting stopped.. It sat in the sky for a brief minute.. Just looking like a regular light in the sky.. Then it got extremely bright. And lit up the night sky.. And with unseen speed just took off into outer space.. Leaving behind the brightest after burn effect and a blue substance in the sky for minutes after it was gone... US Navy missile launch. PD

Paso Robles, CA
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

Wallaceburg (Canada), ON · Canada
I was sitting in the passenger seat while my sister was driving and it was bright daylight. And she said 'Look at that' so I looked. What I seen was, I couldn't really understand what I seen because it looked like a aircraft that was emitting two chem trails. Instead of the two chem trails forming a straight line behind the aircraft, they formed a diamond shape with an open space between the white lines. It was hard to see what exactly what exactly was emitting that diamond shaped trail which was moving downwards at an almost imperceptible rate. As we were turning on a curve, we tried to keep our eyes on it and only removed our eyes for a split second to watch the road and when we turned back to where the thing was, it was absolutely gone.

Bakersfield, CA
I was going outside to my car when I thought a helicopter was shining a light above me. I looked up confused because I didn't hear any sound. All of a sudden, this craft opens with a red light on the back, and a really bright light in the middle. I was facing south west. It was directly above me when it shot out this massive ray of blue light. It then disappeared in a moment, but the blue beam stayed fixed in the sky for about an hour.

Elm City, NC
I was driving and notices a red fire looking beam bouncing off the trees and pulled over because I could not figure out what it was! Then I noticed another same looking object! My friend stared video taping and i zoomed in to take pictures on my camera it shows 2 red looking things and 1 blue looking object! One of the objects looked like a saucer! Very interesting and happy I was not alone or everyone else would have thought I was crazy! Then all of a sudden they disappeared!

Upland, CA
We look up and see 3 white lights moving in perfect unison with a blinking red light attached 100+ feet behind the last (Moving with the last light). Only one sound was audible (as in only one engine/humming sound.) Moving slowly and fairly low. Could not have been a helicopter, was too large for any known heli. Too slow to be a plane

Sidney, IA
I was walking with a couple of my friends just laughing talking and i just happened to look up. It was a beautiful night. My friends noticed me looking up. There was an object silver object big probably about 12 to fifteen feet in a V shape with lights perfectly spaced apart along the bottom of it. The color of the lights were some ive never seen before just very bright. The craft hovered for a few seconds before it shot straight up in the air and was completely out of sight for as big as it was without a sound. It was beautiful.

Harrington, WA
It was a dark night driving home southbound to Harrington. I saw this object flying westbound over highway 28, and it started banking to the right over my farm. I initially thought it to be @ 50 to 100 feet AGL and a width of 40 feet traveling at @ 50 mph, but it could have been much larger, faster, higher and further away due to no real depth perception. It had a red light on each end and a bluish/white light behind. The witness is well known to us, and we consider him to be highly reliable. We suspect he is a well qualified observer. PD

Columbia, MO
I was outside in the backyard smoking a cigarette under the deck, and suddenly the entire yard and sky lit up brighter than the daytime for 3 whole seconds, so I ran out from under the deck to look up into the sky to see what caused the brightness, and I saw a very long, thick contrail in the sky not more than 100 feet above ground level that did not dissipate within the time that I watched it. The contrail was slightly curving back and forth but not very much at all, meaning it was moderately straight-traveling. The object that caused it was only visible for the millisecond before it disappeared, but it appeared to be on fire. I freaked out and ran inside immediately. The light was so bright that I thought the planet was either exploding or that we were being taken by the light into Heaven. It was INTENSE!!! My friend also told me just now on Facebook that he saw the same thing in Joplin, MO.

Worcester, MA
It was definitely a shooting star, but I thought this could possibly help in other investigations probably or to explain what we saw over 290. It was 100% a shooting star.

London (Canada), ON · Canada
I was walking toward downtown in my city in London, ON, Canada, and I stopped to take a brake while walking along a path at the Thames River. As I sat down to take a break for a few moments I looked into the starlit sky. At first I observed the usual stars.... then in an instant, I seen what looked to be a shooting star streak across the sky in a horizontal direction. I have seen a few occurrences like this so I thought it was another amazing moment looking into the sky. Then afterward about five minutes later I noticed what looked to be a star like shaped object, glistening in the sky just like all the others, but this star seemed to be moving around slightly. I quickly thought to myself to grab my smartphone and record this phenomena, as I did so the sky was so black that only darkness was able to be seen from my smartphone video recording app. So I began to record the object in the sky anyhow. Then after about ten minuets I decided to take out my other cell ! phone to take some pictures as best as I could. This object traveled slowly in the sky then would stop for a few moments then would slowly move again. Then this star like object traveled in a circle as I watched closely in the sky as I observed sitting on the pathway bench. Then an aircraft began to travel in the same vicinity with the regular flashing lights that people normally seen when observing aircraft's in the sky. I continued to watch this star like object move and when someone walked along the pathway, this star shaped object stopped in place looking just like a regular star in the nights constellation. After the person walked off the pathway out of sight, this star shaped object began to slowly move around again in slow semi circular movements. At 20:10pm, I continued to walk to finish my errands, and I am about to go back to the pathway to observe if there's any more unknown objects in the sky.

Phnom Penh (Cambodia), Cambodia
On the night of Nov 2, 2015, I was sitting on a balcony located at a building on St. 79BT, Boeung Tumpun, Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and as I looked up into the night sky, I saw an object glowing something like a yellow orange fire color emitted from a rocket engine. From my position, I estimate the object appeared to be at an altitude somewhere between 20,000' and 30,000', and it looked to have a diameter of about 1.5m to 2m. I called another person who was nearby in the building, but as I did that, the UFO glow increased and it started ascending rapidly which could be detected by the manner in which its size now reduced rapidly and within 4 seconds it was completely out of my visual sight range. The UFO went virtually straight upwards. There was no other sign of movement in any other direction, it went directly up. The following are the co-ordinates for PHNOM PENH - Latitude: 11.55° N Longitude: 104.92° E Elevation: 16 m - the location from where this sighting was made on Street 79BT is approx 0.5km due South of the Soviet Khmer Friendship Hospital.

Tahlequah, OK
A red light was flashing alternating with another color that was more difficult to define...possibly light green. Witnessed by myself as well as my wife. Sky was very clear. The object was too distant to determine a shape. The movement was easy to see but was quite limited in extent. It basically hovered in the same spot for 2 hours at which point I gave up trying to determine what it was. Of note I text messaged a male Operating room nurse that I work with and he confirmed and gave the same description as me. It was roughly near where Capella in Auriga would be looking from Tahlequah, Oklahoma, but was not Capella!! I have 27 years of experience looking at Capella from Tahlequah and this was much, much brighter, with a flashing red light. Of note it made the local news but my wife said the recording cut off and she therefore did not catch any details except that someone did videotape the object in the Northeast. The object rose to about 20 degrees above the horizon for a while (2 fist widths at arm's length).

Burlington, VT
My husband and I observed a bright white light that flickered red, orange and yellow, hovering and zig-zagging high in the sky north of us - perhaps over Burlington area. This is the third time over two years that we've observed this in the sky. There were just a few stars observable this night and this object definitely stood out in the dark sky - and it moved about quite a bit. It would zip up then down then to the left and back up again very quickly. At one point it tilted and from where I was looking it appeared to be sphere shaped. We watched it for about 15 min then went to find our telescope but by the time we looked again it was gone.

Toledo, OH
We have been seeing UFOs over our area for the last several weeks. They are hovering to the north, south and west. There were 12 a few weeks ago and 6 tonight. They have a pulsating red, green and blue light flashing. We also saw one moving for the first time. Was moving in a straight path very quickly. We see them clearest right after the sun has completely set. A few weeks ago I saw a white object touch multi-colored object then move away. Witness elects to provide no contact information. PD
