I was standing in the kitchen with my wife, looking out the window, as I often do, when I noticed a strange object in the sky. I immediately knew I was seeing something that I do not see regularly, but as I watched it, I became fascinated. I quickly went outside and watched what appeared to be a pyramid like shape, very dark, possibly metallic black in color slowly hovering towards us. I was thinking drone at first but it seemed too high up in the sky to be anything controlled from the ground. It continued to move toward us slowly, and I couldn't take my eyes off it for a second. I thought maybe it was some kind of strange helicopter (it seemed to be about that size) and I thought I could see some kind of swirling above it, but I could not focus on anything for sure. I then noticed two very small objects hovering around it. One stayed kind of below it and the other to the right of it. They would seem to change distances from the object, but never move to far towards it or away. These objects were coming out of the east and then turned and started moving higher into the sky and north. I thought I saw it wobble a bit before it headed north. The smaller objects also looked very dark, black and would occasionally glint like metal from the sun for a second, just as the larger pyramid like structure did. As it began to climb and head north, it appeared to have an energy bubble around it for a few seconds. It was light blue (cyan) circle of energy around it and my heart started racing when I saw this. It was quite visible first and maybe a minute later I saw it again but very faint. As it continued North, I began to start thinking about it and if it was some kind of strange balloon? It made no noise at all. It continued North until it faded from my vision. My wife ran to get my binoculars but by that time it was very distant. She wears glasses and did not have them with her, so was unable to see any details. I don't know what I saw, but it was very strange. I keep thinking it could have been some kind of very elaborate balloon, but it feels like my rational mind is just trying to make sense of it. I've never seen anything in the sky even remotely like this and I hope that some of the other millions of Long Islanders have seen this and can give more information. I love to hear your updates each week on Coast to Coast, but I never thought I was going to see anything to report, but I quickly thought of you afterwards and felt it was my responsibility to report this, even if it was just some hoax. I'm sorry I didn't take any pictures but I couldn't move and I don't carry my phone around with me. I hope my report is of some use to you! I hope someone took pictures! Keep up the great work and keep looking up! Best Regards, ((name delete)) ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Hello Peter! I wanted to let you know I did contact news 12 to report my sighting, but the experience was not favorable. I should mention that I have empathic abilities and also intuitive flashes. When I spoke to the individual on the phone, I could immediately sense hostility towards me and the information I was trying to convey. Not only that but this person was frustrated by how many people like me were also trying to report such sightings. I could sense his hands were tied concerning this subject. Finally to my disbelief, although it was over 3 hours since the sighting, when I asked if anyone else had called in to report a similar sighting he said no but I was certain he was lying. Well that's about it. This experience has changed my life and thanks again for doing what you do.

Walking back from 7-11, I witnessed what appeared to be a commuter plane that looked out of place, due to its flight path, altitude and the fact that it was making no sound at all. I see planes every day coming and going from LaGaurdia airport, which is just across the Flushing Bay, about a mile and a half away. This plane was at about 2,000 ft. traveling East by South East. Planes arriving and departing are always much lower, anywhere from 500 to 100 ft at this distance from the airport. When planes fly over from other nearby airports they are usually higher, about 5,000ft. Even then they can be clearly heard. The plane in question seemed to be gliding rather than flying, produced no contrails, and was completely silent. I have lived near J.F.K. and LaGuardia all my life and have never observed a plane that close that made no sound. Quite strange. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Hi Pete, It was AM for sure. Mostly clear skies. Thank You. ((END ADDENDUM))

It was around two or three in the morning. I had just come back up the stairs to my bedroom to try and get some sleep. As I was getting into bed, a bright white light suddenly came shining down thru the skylight that is positioned a few feet above my bed. Startled by the sudden illumination, I turned to look up to see what was causing it. I was very surprized to see a large, dark object directly above our house. It seemed to be flying low, only maybe three to five hundred feet. As it moved across the frame of the skylight I was able to make out the shape as being octagonal and that there were five, large white lights I could see as well. These lights appeared to be flush with the bottom surface of the octagonal shape I was veiwing. They were positioned one in the middle and the remaining four adjacent to each angled corner of the octagon. The lights were round and appeared to be similiar in size and brightness. The object was completely quiet except for a low sound that seemed to come from within it. Had I not been directly below the window and paying attention I might not have caught this. The sound was not at all familiar as that which might be generated by a helicopter or other aircraft and the object was far too large to be any kind of drone. The lights that might be found standard on a heliocopter or airplane were not to be seen on the object. The whole incident took perhaps just a few seconds

2 bright stars stood out in the night sky. One was a little above the other. They had the slightest look of floating but not moving. They stayed bright for around 2 minutes and then faded rather like car lights going off.

I was driving, and I saw it hovering extremely low to the ground. It was a solid line of white lights, and it was moving slowly opposite the direction I was driving before it completely stopped. I passed it and it disappeared behind the trees.

Klamath Falls, OR
The sky warped and something like energy. Directed me to drive back and forth as if trying to tell me something. Pointed to the sun and then the moon. (It was a rare day when both were visible. Since then, this and or other entities (energy) have been with me 24 hrs a day. It takes my memory and has been hard for me to report. It is not visible so i cannot prove it to another. It/they causes me nightmarish dreams, directs my will, and has even hurt me. It uses known television characters as examples but has never able to clearly talk to me it has enhance music but many times is hard to listen to. Time is altered and it is hard to make sense of what to do. It also does nice things but the majority of the time it’s painful. I am fearful it will hurt me or others so please contact me privately.

My mom and I witnessed several motionless jets in the sky over 485 outside Charlotte, NC, on our drive from 85 north to 77 north. The jets appeared to be Boeing 737s and they were only a few hundred feet above the highway. The weather on Sunday, February 28, 2016, was sunny and completely clear with only light winds.

My fiance saw something red in the distance and called me to come look, and we saw a dark red toned object flying through the sky. There were no lights on it but it did seem to reflect red. At first it seemed like a satellite but then it started swerving its direction back and forth. Within just a minute, it had flown out of our sight, way too fast to follow, and disappeared into the night sky.

On February 24, 2016, I took a live photo on my iPhone 6s of a double rainbow. I was looking at my old photographs and stumble across that one and held the screen to make the short gif start playing and noticed something strange eight little balls of white. They float across the shot and then disappear sometimes morphing into fewer dots. It all happens very fast, I've taken a few isolated shots of the clip as well. The photo shows several blurry white "splotches," which we suspect may have been seagulls, although we cannot be certain as to the nature of the objects. PD

I saw what I describe as a strange object in the sky skipping back and forth real fast then changing form from a brilliant blue pulsating light into a star burst object or similar to a firework explosion raining outward with multiple colors...the center remained a bright emerald blue sphere, with blue, red, white and green streams bursting from the top and bottom, then it transformed back into a bright blue emerald and repeated this process for 45 minutes. It was approximately maybe 7000 ft in the air, and moved back and forth in the same spot real quick. I tried to get a video recording with my cellphone but it couldn't capture the image.

A co-worker said she thought they were over the base waiting to land, but it wasn't that far away and was virtually silent. It had some kind of geometric form because the lights were obviously on each connecting point.

Our neighbors daughter age 47, was outside with their dog when she called to her mother age 72, and pointed out a large Boomerang shaped object in the night sky. The Boomerang shaped object was flying slowly from NE, to SW over our homes. The altitude was difficult to say she said. The mother recalls that it took up about a foot of the night sky when she was looking up at it. The mother described the object as having white lights on the front leading edge surfaces, slightly swept back wings like a boomerang with a red light on the center edge and nose area. The Object was silent. The mother thinks there may have been 8 lights on each side, with a large red pulsating light in the center front. The object was silent as it moved across the night sky she said. One side of the Boomerang was lower then the other side and the object flew with a tilt of about 45 degrees, red light forward. Mother and daughter became frightened and ran into the house to safety. Her verbal account was told to me on 02/21/2016. The Mother and Daughter came to visit me at my home which is across the road to tell me about their sighting. We live in a rural area without street lights. The weather that night was clear and the outdoor temperature was 32F. The two women wish to remain anonymous. I'm reporting this sighting for the women as it was told to me today 2/21/2016.

It is hard to say how big or far away it was, since I had no point of reference. But from my perspective, it looked rather high (1-2 miles high). It seemed too big to be a drone. But again, it's hard to say against nothing but clouds. It had no lights (that I could see) & didn't seem to make any noise. It was heading in the direction of my house so I called my daughter to keep an eye out for it. I tried to take a picture but it was out of my sight by the time I grabbed my phone.

On this evening, I saw a Large "T" shaped Craft come down over the Parking lot adjacent to the McKenzie Willamette Hospital. It was right above the Parking lot It was like a Square cut "T" shape laying down the IT was Mat Gray in Color It appeared to be 2 stories in width and from where I was it Was just above the tree line and directly about the hospital parking lot. If you think of a "T" Laying down, the trunk of the "T" was the direction it came in at with three equally spaced white dome lights underneath and six smaller dome light along the Cross section of the "T" there was no sound no vibration it hovered for nearly one minute before moving forward over the hospital in a northwest direction. It moved slightly and effortlessly. There is a surveillance camera on the Medical building roof that faces the parking lot Id Be Interested to See what it captured.... This is a prime example of why it is so important to report a sighting quickly. If we had known of the sighting in February, we might have been able to secure the tapes and see what the object looked like. Almost certainly, they have been recycled, and used again. PD

Methuen, MA
I was taking my morning walk when I noticed a light in the distance. The light was about 100 feet above the tree tops and it was red, but then would turn white. It looked like it was spinning rapidly. I walked further down the road almost into the next state as I like right on the border of new hampshire. The object started to move back and forth slowly and as it did that i noticed that it moved up and down. It got really bright for a moment and then really dull to the point that it was almost faded completely out. I became really tired all the sudden and felt like i should go home. As i did i noticed a car pull off to the side of the road. An older man got out and was looking at the light. He was to far away for us to speak and it was dark so i did not want to approach him as i thought a young man popping out of the dark side street would probably cause alarm. I took a picture with my cell but it only showed up as a little red and white dot that you need to zoom in to see. So as i finally finished up my walk i noticed that it faded out and i fell like the whole event wasn't important. I decided to report it anyways because this was my first ufo sighting and i didn't want to let my experience go to waste. p.s. I've never felt this tired before I'm in my 20's and run track still. I was actually worried and wonder if it was me or the object that made me feel that way. Can a ufo do that? Thanks

Bothell/Kirkland, WA
On tuesday 02/09/16 @ about 6:30/7pm In the Juanita Kirkland/Bothell/Totemlake/Woodinville/ right off the 160th st exit of I-405 N/S area of Washington state, I saw a light in the S-SE sky or so that was fading in and out in its brightness, And flashing in a rainbow color pattern, and was also slightly moving possitons while still staying in one general area. The flashing rainbow light just stayed in that same general area dimming and flashing rainbow and kind of bobbing around as far as I know all night. Then On Wednesday 02/10/16 @ around the same time at night as on Tuesday (6:30pm-7pm) & In about the same location in the sky as it was on Tuesday night, I again saw the same flashing Rainbow colored light. At about an hour after first spotting the light again. I noticed that afew small airplanes (2 to 3 of them & They looked smaller than a cessna and closer to military drone size, each with a bright white light at its center and a solid blue light on one wing! and a solid red light on the opposite wing.) Where starting to fly around the location of the rainbow colored flashing (not positive but I think triangular shaped) light. After about 30 mins of those small planes checking out the flashing raindow light 2 large (mostly blacked out) helicopters came flying over and started checking out the flashing light for a while as well. Once the helicopters started to leave and the small planes started heading back, off to the SE-E direction I noticed another flashing rainbow light as well as a 3rd one farther off, and almost directly above my location I noticed a light like the flashing rainbow ones, except this one was instead brighteniging and dimming (in a flashing kind of sense) this deep, rich, radiant, bright, glowing Goldish/Yellow/Orange colored light(same triangular shaped craft as the flashing rainbow light craft) instead of rainbow like the others. I watched these lights for about another hour and a half or so and then the ! clouds start to come out & block out the rainbow & Goldish flashing lights, And right as that starts to happen I noticed the the sounds of planes AND helicopters in the area had increased as if a lot more of planes and helicopters where now in the area checking out these flashing rainbow lights & Goldish light and using the clouds as a cover for themselves to hide behind. My mother was also watching and hearing all of this as she was standing next to me for a large portion of the time that this had all been taken place in, I had also used my phone to try to record some of what I was seeing, I also called my brother and had him step out side and whiteness the flashing rainbow lights and Gold flashing light before the clouds covered them for the night. We suspect the witness is observing the very bright and vivid star, Sirius. PD

Newport, OR
At approximately 5:15am, I witnessed what I can only describe as a UFO traveling in a SW direction over Newport, Oregon. I was located roughly 3 miles south of the local municipal airport and was outside stargazing before going to sleep, when I noticed a light and what appeared to be the underside of a vehicle lit from below traveling overhead. My first instinct was to get excited, thinking I was viewing the ISS traveling past. I knew that at those altitudes, they are usually still lit by the sun while other areas are in pitch black. I then realized that this object in no way resembled the ISS and would have been far smaller if it were. Being near the municipal airport, I then tried to guess if it was a plane or helicopter, but the object consisted of a single light (approximately as bright as Sirius) and a main body that split into a “T” shape that appeared lighted from below. It seemed to be traveling low, but there was no sound at all – we normally have helicopters flying overhead and can hear them very clearly, especially when all other daily traffic is gone. The “T” shaped section was moving approximately 30-45 degrees off axis, so I knew it could not be a plane. Located along the coastal highway, I watched as this object moved into the tree line. I was unable to grab a picture with my camera phone, so I jumped in the car to a lookout point along the ocean about .5miles away. By the time I pulled in and got out (about 2 minutes max) it had already disappeared, having flown off over the water in a west-southwest direction. I’m a scientist for Oregon State University, and have seen many type of aircraft, but this was nothing I know about. When calling the local police station to ask if anyone else had reported anything, they said they had not heard anything of that nature being called in.

At approximately 5:00 a.m. a cloud of double shaped crescent appeared at approximately 15 degrees above the horizon at 1:00. It appeared to be clouds. Moved very slowly and increased in size until the crescent closed to a full circle. At 8:00 in relation to the clouds there was what looked like a comet's tail outside of the circle. The circle continued to move to the southwest very slowly. Outside the circle at approximately 3:00 there were three shooting stars. Another star flashed three times directly above the shooting star. As the large tire shaped cloud moved across the sky at 12:00 a white light appeared in the middle. The comet tail outside the circle remained at approximately the same size and relationship. A plume of smoke slowly came from the light at the center of the cloud circle at about 15 degrees to the circle. This, too, looked like a comets tail, but was less well defined than the first. The circle of clouds covered much of the sky prior to dissapating. The cloud slowly disappeared as the light plume grew brighter and the tire shaped cloud disappeared. The light and the tail eventual disappeared at the horizon in a tree line. This lasted approximately 15 minutes.
