Alvaton, KY
At 15:31 while watching the stars, my dog gave an awful bark, then the neighbors' dogs started barking. I went to the front of the house and saw a white cloud like object slowly descending. I was astonished I ran in and got my girlfriend, her friend ((female name deleted)), and a couple that we are temporary custodial parents of their children they were visiting. So 6 witnessed and I have video, pictures, and conversations of it. I had a flash on my phone and when I flashed it it got brighter! I still can't believe what I saw!

New York City (Queens), NY
Saw a fairly large black teardrop-shaped ring "hanging" motionless in the NE Queens, NY, sky at 18:30 on 10/16/16. After 10 minutes it moved quickly further into the distance. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Norwood, MA
While smoking outside with my mother and stepfather on the front patio. It was raining and the moon was cresect and waxing. There appeared two brilliant tear shaped crafts right along side the moon but seemed much closer to the ground. Almost like in front of the moon but at a lower altitude. Maybe about 20 000 feet. I've been a private pilot for 14 years so I have a good sense for AGL. The two craft were bright pink in color. They hovered for about 45 seconds and then simultaneously took a sharp left at 90 degrees and shot straight up out of view. Traveling at several thousands of miles per hour. They left no streak of light. They just took off. The strangest thing is, it left a smell. The whole neighborhood smelled like a sweet fruity smell for about 12 hours??? Really strange and crazy. I thought i should report. My first report ever.

San Jose, CA
We were driving South on 880 (Nimitz Freeway) and we saw a large bright greenish circle with a tail--sort of tear-drop shaped-- with a bright reddish back edge falling at a 45 degree angle from left to right towards the ground in West San Jose. We were South of the San Jose Airport's usual landing pattern and this object appeared to fall/descend too quickly to be a safe conventional aircraft landing.

Santa Rosa Beach, FL
We were on Highway 98 heading west just before 331 and in the NW sky a ball of fire came straight down visually the size of a baseball the color of a campfire however my wife saw green in that color. We lost site as it passed in the tall pine trees on the NW side of 98.

Amarillo, TX
When walking outside there was an oval, teardrop shaped shiny but almost transparent object in the sky. Almost like a balloon, but it was not moving. It was toward the west.

Antioch, CA
My husband and I saw 2 white objects high in the sky, through binoculars there appeared to be a tail with another smaller white part attached. They moved across the sky, then stopped on one area above the foothills before movi ng more to the southwest. Did have similarities to small parachute perhaps a weather balloon that had burst...just not something we could discern.

Fayetteville, NC
While taking batting practice, a friend and I were sitting on a bench facing east when we saw a very bright silver looking light or object falling in the sky at an very high speed. We saw it in the open sky and followed its progress down behind trees. It had the shape of an elongated water drop. The tail of the light was not very long. Once it was out of our sight, we waited for an explosion, but it didn’t happen. I don’t know if it was a meteorite or falling space debris or what it was, but it either fell into the ocean, or it was just passing by earth. It happened very quickly, and the object looked big. At first, I thought it was a big passenger plane, but it was moving way too fast for an airplane of any kind. The whole event probably lasted 3 – 5 seconds.

Durham, NC
Near RDU airport, while driving, I saw something cone/teardrop shaped and on fire falling from the sky. It disappeared behind the trees in the distance. I thought a small plane was crashing, but it was way too small for that. My son thought it might be a meteor. I even opened my window to try and hear or smell something. I've never seen anything like it.

Framingham, MA
As I was looking out my back porch window after letting my dog outside, I noticed 2 lights in the sky resembling a tear drop shape. One of which was a cold blue color and the other was a ruby red color. I noticed that they were flying rather slowly, almost just hovering in the air. I had a feeling that they were not airplanes or helicopters, as they were merely just circling each other. I went to take my phone out to take a photograph, and just as I did that, the UFO's flew very quickly straight up in the air, and then off into the distance at an incredible speed. I have also noticed over the past two years two scars appearing on my inner thighs, one about a year ago, and one more recently. I cannot account for how either one got on my legs, nor can I remember ever getting them, as I noticed them and they seemed fully healed. One of which is larger than the newer one, and I absolutely without a doubt can say that there is nothing which I can account for which would cause these fully healed scars to appear in what seems like overnight.

Vacaville, CA
At first I thought it was a shooting star but it was moving too slow, almost the speed of an airplane. There were no lights like an airplane, just a tear drop shaped object. The tear drop was horizontal and very bright yellow, and then after about 3 seconds it just disappeared or blinked out. I don't know what it was but it wasn't an airplane. It may have been a shooting star but it was way bigger and slower than any shooting star I have ever seen. Also it didn't have a trail. I live in Vacaville California, and was looking in the Northeast sky.

Bangkok (Thailand) · Thailand
I an an Australian, on holiday in Thailand. Some Thai friends were showing me some of the sites near City Hall. There was a large and highly active thunderstorm that evening, but no rain at that point. Just to clarify, I have never witnessed a UFO, or taken any belief in them before now. Walking between sights at around 20:00, I attempted to get a burst of photos to capture the amazing lightening above. In the process of shooting around 45 pictures, a lightening strike occurred. At this point I stopped taking shots, and we continued sightseeing. While looking over the photos the next day, I noticed a clear set of 5, almost fang-shaped lights, in a delta formation. Looking back further still, I noticed the lights had started from a different position, and moved. Although a lot of my shots weren't steady, a few were clear enough to see the shape of the objects. The lightning strike made them even clearer. It should be noted that nobody, including myself, noticed these lights during the evening. I have created a video to demonstrate how the pictures appeared in sequence.

O'Fallon, MO
Walking the dog very early this morning, at about 230 AM Central Time (MO); from behind me (SE) going a silent, bright white, ball/tear shaped object flew incredibly fast (well over aircraft speed), and very low (not over a thousand feet) right above my head, straight into the the distance(NW). It was not flying up nor down, just straight ahead; and it disappeared just like a lightbulb being shut off. It was not a drone or a plane or a shooting star. I'm positive because of the sheer ODD characteristics. Its altitude of maybe 1000ft, it was I'm guessing about a 25ft in circumference, who the shape was not just an orb of light. It was an object of light, if that makes any sense. I wish I had a better way of describing this. It was just very abnormal and without any logic of my own at least. I have never believed in "the unknown". I am hoping someone will help me understand what I saw, and for it to be something of my universe. This is not something I'm even sharing with family or friends. I can not rationally explain what I saw. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I caught it on my camera, it's shooting around all different directions, almost looks like a dragon fly, but a UFO sized one, it's changing shapes, it's still here. I noticed it 20 minutes ago. I also saw a green shooting object shoot down near it.

Portland, OR
Saw a teardrop shaped light with a blue green leading edge the big circular part, the body was bright white, appearing like a flag, waving, same visual effect, tapering to a point, where it was red. I'd was definetly losing altitude, it went behind some trees... Blocking my view, I waited for a BOOM but nothing.. Between a quarter and a nickel sized "image" if the coin was held at arms length

Henderson, NV
My wife was driving south on I-15 near the St Rose Parkway interchange. She observed a circular craft what appeared to be a single triangular wing flying overhead. The object flashed a bright red light from the 'wing', and when this was off two dimmer white lights blinked from the 'disk' section. She called me and I went to the backyard (we live to the east of the M Resort) and I observed an object in the same area, with the distinctive bright red - white - white blinking pattern flying in the Sloan Canyon area, heading away from me to the southwest. After several minutes, the lights suddenly stopped blinking while the object was in mid-air, and we could not observe the object any further.

Objects were small, high in the sky, and seemed to flicker. They moved across the entire sky, from W to E, within a span of a few minutes--the length of time it took to get another family member out to see the last few objects, as they slipped into the cloud cover.

Grand Rapids, MI
Driving south on 131 near Leonard Street exit in Grand Rapids. Blueish/green teardrop shaped craft suddenly appeared at a high rate of speed just below cloud level. Ran across sky and disappeared after a few seconds. It was like a window opened up in the sky and this object flew through it.

Gatineau (Canada), QC · Canada
Wow - something with bright red lights just zoomed by my window in the sky. About 9:45 pm looking out my window something went by so fast - red lights - I guess if I had to say it had a bit of a upside down teardrop (thanks for the choices on the side) - I'm not good at measuring height but I guess I'll have to say it was flying as low as what a small plane normally flies - but it was the speed! No way that was an airplane.... Leave you feeling shaking inside - it's so unbelievable.... I guess there was about 5 lights - it happens so fast - you kind of go in shock! This is the second time for me within a few months - what's going on?? but last time it wasn't like this - this was much closer.
