Cortland, OH
At first glance, it just looked like a little cluster of stars, but they were a little dimmer than all the rest. I should also mention that the sky was VERY clear tonight and the moon wasn’t in a spot where the sunlight reflection would drown out all the stars so it was really easy to see the sky. The little cluster of dimly lit stars looked normal until I looked at it through peripheral vision, and then it looked like, a sort of cloudy mass with tiny pinprick bright spots in it. The longer I looked at it, the more I could see that the little lights were moving around in a really weird, erratic manner. There would be three, they’d make a sort of triangle shape, but then there would be four, and it would look like they formed a straight line, then they’d all kind of disperse and not be any kind of shape really but they’d be moving around a little bit and it kind of made me think of the way gnats swarm around in groups. And the cloudy area behind it, along with the lights themselves, all seemed to be moving as a whole in one direction (possibly north) in a slow, creeping sort of way. My partner and I believe this is the first time either of us have witnessed a UFO.

Houston, TX
During a walk around 11:40 pm I noticed a green light flashing in the sky. I stopped to stare at the light and it appeared to be hovering in place. The light then began to move to the left slightly still hovering. The flashing of the light was at a constant rate similar to the flashing light of an aircraft at night. The light began to move to the left again and the light disappeared. The light then appeared again and the it hovered for a few seconds until the light started to descend rapidly. After this the light was out of sight.

Rochester, NY
I just saw 5 or 6 UFOS in the sky under cloud cover above Rochester, NY. I thought it was a spotlight advertisement at first glance, but then immediately saw the objects were large and far up--under cloud cover--but highly visible. They moved in loose formation and seemed to circle around a bit and then they kept going straight and disappeared. It’s 8pm in Rochester, New York.

2 friends on Facebook saw this strange object in the sky that the sleeping eye would think is a cloud. But I saw 2 of my friends post it an hour apart from each other. It seems like this cloud did not change shape.

Garland, TX
I live in Garland, TX, a Northeastern suburb of Dallas County. I was sitting in my patio, facing North. I sit out there and enjoy a cigar a couple of times a month. It was approximately 8:00 P.M. and I had just taken a puff of my smoke and tilted my head back to exhale. As I did, I saw what I thought was a "shooting star", going North. I have seen meteors/shooting stars on many occasions and thought no different. I could distinctly make out "flames" on this and thought I had a great view of a meteorite streaking across the evening sky. The "flames" diminished and I could see something that looked like a star, moving across the sky. From my vantage point it looked like a star, except that it was moving. I then saw another "star" coming from the other direction, heading South. This object was perhaps a little brighter than the North-bound "shooting star". The two star-looking objects came together and slowly faded out. I do not believe they were stars. I called The National UFO Reporting Center immediately. End of Report.

Cedar Rapids, IA
9/28/2015 2:44 AM Cedar Rapids Coming up the ramp off of Hwy 30 traveling west, as I came to the stop sign, noticed a blue light hovering about 200 yards above the ground to the north of me. I continued to watch it and pulled to the side of the road and could see that it was moving , but slowly. I turned the car around and started towards it traveling on Bus 151 towards the intersection of Wiley Blvd SW. The image seemed to be above the street named Cynthia St SW. As I drove closer to the blue light, now within ¼ mile from it-I was starting to feel different- not so much scared but on edge, un-nerved perhaps. The light then grew to a bright flash of light for 3-4 seconds, very bright like a football stadium light growing from the blue light now was a bright white. It then disappeared and nothing could be seen. I pulled over and watched and waited for any more to happen but that was it.

Sterling, IL
It was August 28, about 2 am. It was the same day there was an eclipse/blue moon. My friends were driving me home. On my way there I saw lights in the sky occasionally. I then saw a UFO with blue lights in the air next to a house. I told everyone in the car but they just laughed but one of my friends saw something blue but he wasn't really paying attention. I was really frustrated that they didn't believe me. I got dropped off home. When I went inside I heard a strange noise coming from a block away. I decided to go check it out since I knew I saw a UFO. I walked over to where I was hearing the noise. It was coming from an alley in front of my friends house. I saw a UFO! I got scared so I went inside my friends house without permission. I stayed there watching it from the door. This UFO was a different one from what I saw earlier. This one was white and it was shaped weird. And had different color lights around it and on the bottom it seemed to look like a ! orange and blue light/flame sort of thing. I was so in shock. 1st thing I thought was too get someone here to see it! I called my friend that lived there but they didn't answer. I decided to go closer to get a better view of it. As I walked to the road all its lights turned off! The only thing you could see was the orange/blue light flame thing coming from the bottom of it. I got kinda scared and started to back away. Then it just stayed there and so I went closer to it again. And this time it started to fade! Like it was disappearing but I could see where it was. ran back to my friends house. I looked and it was there again. I tried calling my other friend but she wouldn't answer. This was now like 2:30 am. I stepped outside my friends house and stayed by his garage. All of a sudden I see lights to my right. I look over and I couldn't believe what I had seen. It was an alien! But it didn't look like the type of aliens people picture. This looked like a super advanced te! chnological robot. It was a dark grey/silver with like a stick body and it had two lights as eyes. And it was moving in one spot. I stood there for a bit observing it. It would just move it's head. I decided to get a better look at it by moving away from the fence and so I did. I walked slowly towards the road and that's when it saw me and froze! It's lights turned off and it stood in one position and did not move. I backed away to were there fence was in between us. It remained that way. I went again and this time it became invisible. I went back to the fence and when I looked at it, it was there again. But still remained frozen. It knew I was watching it. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I was in shock scared excited and nervous all at the same time. I needed to have someone see what I was seeing because I knew nobody would believe me. So I decided to try to call more people to see if anyone would pick up! I called a friend. He answered! I told him to come ASAP. He asked why what happened?? I told him not to ask and to hurry and come. H! e came and parked in front of my house. I slowly ran over there hoping the thing wouldn't see me. I kept looking back to see if I would stay there and it did. I went up to my friend and from where we were I pointed all the way where the thing was standing by the alley in front of a garage. I asked if he sees a silver thing over there and He said yes. That's when I told him what It was and everything I saw. He looked at me and was like shut up. I said I was being dead serious. He just stared at it. He had a worried/nervous face on. I told him I could take him to where he could see the UFO but he didn't want too! He was scared but he just didn't say it. All he said was no it's nothing. And that he didn't see anything over there. I'm like you just said you saw the silver thing over there now you can't say you didn't because you already admitted to it. I tried to convince him to come to see the UFO in the alley he didn't want to but at the end he did. I took him to the side of ! my friends house and pointed at the alley. I told him if he sa! w the bl ue and orange lights and he said yes I'm like okay that's the UFO. It was kinda distant from us. But he said those are probably lights. He was trying to convince himself that it was something else. He went back to his car and I followed. I'm like wow you're really not going to do this with me? I thought I could count on you. He said no sorry. I'm like why???? You saw everything. Are you really that scared? He said yeah..I'm scared of aliens and all that stuff. I'm like okay I understand I guess I'm just going to find someone else. So he left. I went back to where I was and just watched. I was so amused at what I was seeing. My phone was dying so I went back to my house to charge it. Then I went back to where I was without my phone. Everything was still there. I was by the fence seeing this thing just frozen there. Then all of the sudden i see it's eyes (two lights on the head) start turning on. It was blinking and it looked like it was just waking up. And it just started to ! move its head around and his arms up like it was stretching. It then looked worried and sad. I thought. Is it lost or stuck here? I just stayed there and observed it. I went a bit forward again and I think it saw me trying to get a better view of it so it turned off again and remained frozen. I was upset that my friend didn't want to help with anything. I really needed someone to come. I went back inside to grab my phone to see who I could call. I called my friend and she picked up! I told her to hurry and come and so she did. I did the same and pointed at the silver thing and asked if she saw that she said yes I'm like okay are you sure you see it. It's right there. My finger pointing at it. She said yes what about it. And I told her everything. She came with me to show her the UFO. Shes like are you sure that's it. This was now like 3:30 am. She said what if maybe it's lights from another house or something. I'm like nope it's not. Let's go check it out?? She said that I ! was crazy and went back to her car. I followed. I'm like pleas! e!! She' s like we can go in the car but I'm not walking over there. I'm like fine but it knows and it will probably go invisible. So we went and drove around the block and passed by and then it disappeared and that's when my friend was like wow I give you props for this one. Then she dropped me back off and left. She wasn't much help. I needed someone to have interest in it and explore this with me or I needed to get it on camera or something because I knew nobody would believe me if I told them. I just wanted evidence of what I was seeing. I then thought of my moms video recorder! I 1st went back to see if it was there and it was. So I went to go get my moms video recorder and I went back and tried recording it but it was hard to tell since it was dark out but it had the bottom lights on so you could see that part of the UFO. And I couldn't get the alien robot thing since it was off and it was dark. I then left. And I regret not doing anything else about it. I regret not doing more! further research or anything. Because I knew this was a once in a life time opportunity. I maybe be the 1st one to ever see this. Maybe nobody will believe my story. I was indecisive on wether I should do a report on a UFO sighting page or something because what I seen was crazy and maybe nobody will believe me. They will think its a joke or something. But what I seen was real and I may be the 1st one to ever see what I saw. I may be the 1st on to have discovered another alien species from the galaxy. Either way if my report files or not I know someday. Someone will come upon this. Maybe in 4 years or 100 or 8 or 5,000 years but someday someone will rediscover this and everyone will see I was right. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

On the night of 09/27/15, it was about 10:40 PM, I came out and watched the Moon. I used my iPhone to tape the moon. There was something around the moon, but I did not paid attendtion to that thing at that time. Until in morning, I took a look at that video clip. I was chilled by seeing a green round object running about the Moon, and then it hid behind the moon. I shared this clip with my co-workers. They all astonished. We all had the same thoughts of Aients. I was thinking and thinking about the clip, if I shuold share this video clip with experts or NASA to analyze the video clip (the clip last for 14 seconds), if they can explain what is that object. Finally I decided to search on line. I found NUFORC. I would like to share this with NUFORC. Please advise. Thank You

Coconut Creek, FL
I left work at about 7:50pm, and rode home on my scooter. Along the ride, I noticed with deep compassion the moon’s beauty. The ride home took me no more than 10 minutes. I parked my scooter onto the drive-way, noticed my father had company over, open the garage with a garage door remote located in Parents’ car. I remained in my room from the moment I got home until 9:45, when the last of my father’s company returned to their vehicles parked outside. While I was in my room I visited and engaged with several websites as well as read several articles pertaining to what time the lunar eclipse would be occurring and was under the impression that I would not settle myself outside until around 1am on the 28th (when I thought the eclipse would start as stated in the articles that I read). After I was assured that each of my father’s guests had left, I made my way onto the back patio to take a quick glimpse of the moon and was shocked to find out that the eclipse ha! d already started. More than half of the moon was submerged in darkness and only a small quarter of light on its right (my right) remained visible I quickly returned inside to retrieve my notepad, phone, glasses and a thin sweater. I retuned outside and positioned myself facing east towards the eclipse, where I sat for approximately 15 minutes. During this time I was able to note at most 3 airborne objects (what I believed to be ordinary planes) taking steady course across the sky. A final craft (4th) rose above from behind the trees in my backyard in a motion I can describe as STAIGHT UP but NOT TOWARDS the NORTH. I did not focus on the object until it made a complete STOP well above the trees. The object was sitting plainly in the CLEAR night sky, with a sliver of light from the reflecting moon. The object, which I no longer thought could be a plane, had the same pattern of lights one of the three previous airborne objects that I noted in about the sky. A CONSTANT BLUE BASE LIGHT ACCOMPANIED BY ALTERNATING WHITE AND RED LIGHTS ON EITHER SIDE. My focus was transfixed on the airborne object and I remained a spectator until fear overcame me due to the unnerving sounds that were coming just off from the left side of the patio (my mother near the trash). During the period I remained present, the airborne craft moved horizontally to the west*right (A maneuver that to my knowledge, present day crafts were incapable of maneuvering) then horizontally to the east*left and finally centered itself back to where it had originally STOPPED. This horizontal motion occurred at least twice before I rushed into my home to call the first person that I could show while the airborne object was still in the air in its STOP motion. My mother, was the first person I made contact with after the sighting and I asked her to come outside and witness the airborne object. SHE DID SEE THE OBJECT IN THE SKY located above the trees and at that time it was in its STOPPED motion. I made her wait with me as we starred at the object that was STILL (nonmoving) in the sky. I was hoping the craft would maneuver horizontally as it did before, for my mother’s witness, but it did not motion at all while I and my mother were both gazing at the airborne object. She attempts to assure me that it was “just a plane going in an SLOW upward motion”. I attempted to bring forth other spectators such as my little brother and older sister, while my mother remained watching the airborne object in the sky. I returned to the patio no more than 1 minute later, while the object was (to our eyes) ini the same area I initially spotted it doing its STOP motion. My mother told me that the craft had simply “continued its upward motion” whi! ch would still have been visible to see because the clear and open sky. My mother returned inside to report the news that “I THOUGHT I saw a UFO”, sharing a laugh with my older sister and my little brother. I then pulled my little brother outside in spite of the current ridicule and attempted to tell him by words and pointing where I and mother had seen the object and I attempted to describe to him about the horizontal motions I witnessed. My brother made his final remarks and returned inside, siding at the end to ridicule me along with the rest of my family. I remained outside hoping that the object would return to its positioning but to no avail. I started my voice recording of the sighting. Noting that the time was precisely 10:20 pm.

At 21:20 was watching eclipse in progress and looked towards west and noticed what at first i thought was star or planet. went and got binoculars to get better look. What i saw was flashing red light with a green pulsing light. the green light appeared to go around red light. Thought maybe a plane when i looked around to see planes in the area the lights were definitely different. The planes light changed as they moved due to the different angles seen. The object or lights i seen had not moved. I watched the lights for more than 30 minutes than they just disappeared. I dont know what I saw but it was not an airplane or helicopter.

This was too far east over the ocean to be coming from any land strips. At first I thought it could have been a bunch of those candle lanterns released from a boat, but there were far too many, and they were moving far too fast. It then looked like an arsenal of planes, however their flight pattern was too random. These objects were specs, but were glowing like breathing bright and then dull slowly, and there were at least 30, maybe more.

I picked up cell phone and started taking photos. The (star).. then changed and suddenly I saw three little lights next to what I'm going to say was an orb and I did get photos of this and it is pretty hot in this star just disappeared so I don't think it was a rising star at all or maybe it was pretending to be a star but I looked up on the internet and there's no rising stars are planets of any kind of this time. The objects seemed to pulse over and then move and then once again pulse have a hover and move quickly I mean quickly quickly quickly..that is my story and I'm going to stick to it

San Clemente, CA
100% Real Sighting and first interest or care of UFO's existence. Coming home from dinner on September 25th, 2015, at approximately 9:30 pm, we don’t drink or do drugs. My girlfriend and I were driving up the hill to our house when she said to me, what are those 3 lights? I replied, probably helicopters as I had no interest. As we continued up the hill she said again, look, what are those lights? At this point I looked up to see 3 bright orangish lights in a vertical pattern a considerable distance apart from each other. I then said, lets stop and watch and see if they are moving, as they just appeared to be hovering. As we stopped and watched I immediately could notice they were slightly moving but very slow. Immediately after I noticed they were moving slowly in our general direction, they stopped and appeared to be hovering again. I still wasn’t too interested until, within a few seconds,I literally blinked and the bottom of the 3 lights had vanis! hed. Now my eyes were glued to the 2 remaining lights as the bottom light disappeared faster than anything I have ever witnessed or known to exist on earth. The next two lights and what they did are why I am writing this and now know UFO's 100% do exist. 3 The top light in the pattern of 3 lights, which is now 2 lights remaining, I watched disappear approximately 10-20 seconds after in a directly upward and out direction at a speed not from this earth. The large bright light I could see fade in a direction, speed and distance that is impossible to be from our planet. Rockets and Missiles are like a turtle to this speed. It was very close to light speed, just a bit slower and enough to notice direction. As this happened I expressed my disbelief to my girlfriend and I am not sure if she saw it disappear as it vanished completely within a second or two. However, now both our eyes are glued to the middle of the 3 lights and last one remaining. Within 10-20 seconds the middle and last remaining light, which was a good distance lower than the top light, began to move in that same direction at a similar speed. As we both watched the light vanish into outer space within a few seconds, exactly like the top light, we knew what we j! ust saw together was impossible to be anything known to exist from this planet. My girlfriend will submit her sighting report in her own words and neither of us care if anyone believes what we saw. We know what we saw and it has shocked our world

About 070 from 1/2 mile south of Ohio University. Elev angle constant about 25 degrees above horizon. Stationary. Red, white, green lighting appears to be mechanically generated. Craft position unchanged over one hour observation. Illumination level brighter than Venus or Vega. I don't see any planets above the horizon on my sky view phone app. Three planets are indicated as well below horizon. No clouds. Cool temp mid 50s. Minimal air movement. Red and green light swap sides as if autorotation craft was changing headings 180 degrees. No apparent pattern to that. White above r & g but no space discernible between top to bottom. Too distant for iPhone camera. Easily seen lights detail w binocs 7x50. ((ADDENDUM FROM SOURCE)) Addendum to earlier; after calling hotline: Orange changing to amber lights were added for last 30 minutes of observation. The amber lights tended to obscure the red and green lights when they strived on. Lights disappeared with no apparent change in position. I was watching through binocs and lights were there and then they were not. There was no change in position. Stars changed position but it did not. I took rapid exposures with iPhone (15 / sec?). Resolution is so poor colors can't be discerned. About all the pics demonstrate is the dimming and brightening of a white light. W r/g r/g or/amb or/amb ((END ADDENDUM))

Santa Fe, NM
This event happened in the early evening, just after dark. The area is a mixed commercial and residential area on the southern side of Santa Fe. On this particular evening it was raining, which does not happen particularly often in this high desert community. I stepped outdoors on my porch to enjoy the moisture, when I saw what appeared to be a ball of light moving in the clouds. The quick motion caught my attention, but I was unable to discern anything specific once I was looking directly at it. There were a few brief moments of movement at a high rate of speed, before the object seemed to move directly upwards and away from me. This was unlike anything I had ever seen before. I live near the local hospital, and I happen to be under the flight path for medical helicopters approaching and leaving the city. These aircraft are very familiar to me because I see them so often. In fact, I know many of the flight crews personally since I volunteer at a local firehouse. The sighting made on this particular evening was not like any contact with aircraft I have ever had in the past. The primary difference on this evening was that there was absolutely no noise. My home is a quarter mile from the hospital, and believe me they are quite noisy when they pass overhead.

Framingham, MA
From the night of the 16th and into tonight, each night, there have been several craft moving across the sky in several passes towards the city. The craft display several blinking patterns of light. There is a red light, a green light, and between 2 or 4 white lights. The lights that are turned on, and the way they fire, seems to follow different patterns. The craft have been moving after 11PM and until 1 or 2 in the morning. They often make several sweeps, towards the city to the South East, and then come back to the North. The presence of Hanscomb Air Force Base makes for a number of possibilities, but there is something eery about their movements and their presence. They seem to move in a very steady speed, but much slower than an airplane. There is no sound in their presence. It is also strange because whenever they appear over head, the neighbors dog who is always outside begins to bark incessantly.

Dacula, GA
Driving home late around midnight on Hurricane Shoals Rd., What I thought were stadium lights caught my eye to the south over Rabbit Hill Park. But I immediately noticed it was not stadium lights. There were 6 extremely bright beams coming from a stationary craft which was obscured by the brightness of the lights. The 6 lights were set in a rectangular shape and did not shine in a cone shape as you would expect, but straight and sharp, making one large beam of light. It was too high to be stadium lights. The lights were brighter than any lights I had ever seen. I slowed down and continued to observe. The beams were projected toward the ground at a slight angle. There was no sound. I continued to look at it, trying to figure out what it was and suddenly the beams shifted. I continued to watch and drive until trees got in my way. At that point I immediately turned my car around so I could go back and get a better look. No sooner had I turned around, the objec! t was gone. No lights, no nothing. It was gone within 5 seconds. I had goose bumps all over and raced home to get my brother. The goose bumps would not go away! We both went back to the park and drove around trying to figure out what it was or to see if we could see it again.

I had to walk forward to continue watching, with nothing to obscure my view. Whatever it was, was moving at a great rate of speed. Then what I was watching just disappear from the sky
