I'm not sure if I saw a craft or if it was a perfect trine between Jupiter, Saturn and Mars. I went out to walk my dog and to the SSW it first appeared that there were three stars in perfect alignment. After looking at it for several minutes, it seemed that I might be seeing a gigantic triangle, many miles across with lights at each corner. I say that because I could not see stars in the area of the triangle. I have looked for the "form" for the past two evenings at different times and seen nothing, so I am more convinced it was a UFO as opposed to three planets or bright stars aligned. I have been hoping that others would report this because of the size, but I haven't found any reports so far... If it was a triangular UFO, it was at least a couple of hundred miles away and if you folded a standard postcard to make a triangle and held it at arm's length, it would have shown a border around it, making it gigantic. I have seen photos of objects that seemed to be that size taken from the space station and other orbiting vehicles.

I was outside smoking a cig and this triangle ufo. And this triangle came from north going south slightly west direction sherbrooke university. It was high this time. I could probably hide it with my thumb at arm extension. There was a slight red glow to the ufo, not sure why.

I was at dinner with my husband at a local Chilli's. It is off a major highway here, HW 49. On our way there, we saw a very large plum of smoke rising into the sky, like something massive was on fire. When we arrived I noticed it was still coming up from the ground, so I took a picture and sent it to my mother, asking if she had heard on the news of anything burning. She checked our local news website and found nothing, saying it might have been a controlled burn. When I looked at the picture I noticed a series of strange lights hovering over the smoke. Where we live there are no tall buildings, the tallest is 15 stories, and these lights were easily as high as some clouds. There is an airport close to this area, but behind where I am taking the picture from. The only thing in the area of the picture is a lot of woods and some small residential neighborhoods. The amount of smoke that was coming up looked like it must have been coming from a massive forest fire, or something similar, it certainly isn't what you would see with a house fire. Having lived here my entire life, I have never witnessed airplanes flying this close together, some of these lights appear to be in a triangular formation, while others just contain two lights. There was also the absence of any blinking or red lights as most airplanes have. If you look at the photo and zoom in, to the left of the obvious bright series of lights, there are also some duller ones visible. I cannot readily explain what these are. Curiously there has still been no report of anything burning, or of controlled burns in our news.

On Friday, Sept. 02/16 - I was taking some photos of an air-show when I saw something else in the sky behind me. It looked like a triangular piece of Styrofoam flipping and floating through the air, so I snapped a few shots. Once I had gone inside and put the photos on my computer, I couldn't really make out what the object really was, so I used a sharpening tool on my photo editing software, and found very odd results. I did the same edit to another photo of the airplanes from the air-show and nothing peculiar there. Something is very odd and suspicious within the flight patterns of the white object I saw. I am not sure what this is, or what it means and I would like some opinions or answers here please.

My girlfriend and I were watching the sky again, and we saw something flying in the distance, the craft came from the same direction, and did the same exact movements as it had the night before. It actually descended vertically with no horizontal movement. We saw no red or green lights present on the craft. (Indicating a commercial or even military aircraft.) It came from the North, until it got around some trees, made a gradual 90 degree turn and began heading to the West. (In the direction of the airport here.) We see tons of planes coming in and landing all day, everyday. This thing was not a commercial airliner. It was flying entirely too slow, too low, and was way too quiet to be a passenger airliner, and had too many lights on it. (And in the wrong places/not having the correct lights for an airplane.) It flew pretty slowly past the house, it was probably about 100 - 250 feet away (maybe a bit more) from the house, and it was flying at a pretty low altitude, I'd guess somewhere around maybe 200-400 feet area possibly. I actually managed to snap a few quick pictures of the thing, which I will attach to this. What was odd to me was the fact that there weren't any other airplanes coming in for about 10 - 15 minutes before this craft came, and nothing came in to the airport for about 15 - 20 minutes after we saw the craft. There is also an Air Force base pretty close by (Rickenbacker AFB), but that base is roughly 30 minutes to the South of us. This one did have a sound, like a plane - but a very, very quiet plane. (It was more quiet than a single prop airplane.) We didn't hear the noise of it until it was passing the house, and for a brief moment after it had already passed by the house. It had at least 6 - 7 bright white lights present on it. (That's only counting the lights on the left side and back side of the craft.) It was very dark, but it was most likely a black craft, and the way the lights were situated on the craft, it had to be a triangular craft. Note: Normally we hear crickets outside all night long, but when this craft hovered past us, it was dead quiet outside with the occasional sound of vehicles on the nearby highways and the craft when it hovered by.

At around 3am on August 30, 2016, I took my puppy out to go to the bathroom. I noticed a strange light, about the size of a star, moving in unnatural directions. I noticed several different colors emitting from the light. I grabbed my camera from my truck, and set it up on a tripod and started filming. When I zoom in on the light, occasionally you can see an outline of something, which at one point looked like the corner of a pyramid. You also notice multiple colors emitting from the object (red-orange-green-blue). Also, when I was filming, the light did not move as much as before I started filming. But still, in the video you can see that the light moves downwardly in a right to left direction. This took place to my west (Lobecco South Carolina).

I was walking from my car to my apartment when I looked up and noticed the abundance of stars that were out last night. Hoping to see a meteor or shooting star, a black triangle craft of some kind came flying in from behind me in the sky out of the East going West. It was black in color and had three dimmed out white lights on it. One on the nose of the craft and one on each corner of the back. It had rounded edges and a foggy haze around it. As it got to the mountains in front of me it started to turn North it just disappeared. The craft made no noise what so ever. It was completely silent.

Two of us went outside at night to walk the dog. I was noticing the stars and that one in the clear western sky looked "odd". I kept looking at it and noticed it appeared to be not one light, but multiple lights, at least 3 lights and perhaps 4. All together they were in the shape of a perfect triangle, with the point toward us consisting of perhaps 2 lights close together. The lights were colored yellowish. The UFO was approximately due west from us, elevated approx. 40 degrees up from the horizon. My best guess is that its altitude was perhaps 3500-5000 feet above ground, and maybe 4 miles from our position. "It" seemed to appear to be moving very very slowly to the east, almost as if in a slow moving hover. No sound could be discerned from it. We could see only lights. My wife took some pics with her cell phone but they just show a faint blur (pixelated) area. After about 5 minutes of looking, we went back to our apartment to get my monocular, binoculars, camera, and to make a quick report on Facebook, in the hopes that others saw it too. That took about 3-4 minutes, then we went back outside to the place we had observed the UFO. We could not locate the UFO again and noted that the sky appeared to be hazy now and clouding up some.

My girlfriend and I were about to lay down to go to sleep when she pointed out a craft in the distance. She said it was sitting still until I looked out the window. The craft moved very slowly going toward the East, somewhat hiding in the tree lines. It then made a very smooth turn, heading toward the West this time, and came back into our view. The craft then very slowly hovered right past our window, there was probably 8 to 10 yellowish-white lights on the side we could see, and at least two red lights on the belly of the craft. This thing was literally at the height of the power lines, made virtually no sound until it was passing right next to the house. It made a very faint humming sound - we live really close to an airport so we're pretty familiar with airplane sounds and their landing lights. It was a black triangle shape from what we could make out. It was insane how close we were to this thing. You could've probably pegged this thing with a rock, it was flying so low. And at the speed this thing hovered, any other aircraft would've definitely been stalling out. I didn't take any pictures because my camera on my phone has awful quality. We plan to watch out the window again tonight, just in case we see anything. I plan on taking pictures and/or video this time, if anything happens. I've seen two other ufo's when I was younger, but this one was definitely the closest encounter I've had.

Albuquerque, NM
I just discovered your site for reporting UFO sightings. I don’t know the exact date now, it was a couple of weeks ago, the end of August 2016. I was in my backyard in Albuquerque, NM at approximately 10:30am when I noticed a large shadow overhead. I looked up and a craft about the same size as my house was passing overhead just above the tree line, west to east, and passed by in about 5 to 7 seconds before I couldn’t see it any longer because of my neighbor’s house and trees obstructing the view. The craft was dark grey, triangle shape with no visible lights, markings of any kind, or landing gear, and made absolutely no noise as it passed over. I live in a glide path for commercial airlines, south to north, and see planes every day. They make noise. They have smooth body fuselage and wings. This craft was not a plane. It was more triangular in shape, and it was not smooth underneath like planes are. It was very nodular. I’ve been looking at photos online to see if there is anything like what I saw posted, but can’t find anything in real life. Closest thing was the Millennium Falcon from Starwars. I am retired, 67 year old male, with good vision and sound mind. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

It was triangular in shape it looked like several spheres making connected making up the triangle. It had a weird glow to it, it was flying pretty low and almost blended in with the orange colored sky at sunset except you could tell it was made of a reflective metal. It was totally silent it was heading south and after it flew over it disappeared very quickly or blended in very well. There appeared to be an aura or haze around it as well.

My uncle sent me a video of a craft he saw this morning. He says at around 0540 in the morning, his dog jumped up and was acting like it needed to go outside and relieve itself. Once he let it out, it ran to the corner of the porch and froze. He walked over to see what it was looking at and from several miles away he saw a light. It got closer very quickly. The video he sent me, shows a craft that is silent, and has three lights in the middle, with weird flickering lights or strobes to the side. My uncle claims he never heard it make a sound. He says the video caught it at around 400 feet in the air and that it had the mass of a 747. He said that he has a better video, but he can't load it via cellphone and he has no internet access to upload it. To say the least, this video is interesting.

One flew over, going west, moving very slowly, then another came shortly after, moving at the same speed. (( Witness was asked whether the objects might have been B2 bombers. He claims to have looked up B2 bombers on his phone, and confirmed that that was what he had seen. We are not aware that B2 bombers fly in formation. They usually fly individually, we believe. PD))

Comer's Rock (near), VA
I drove up to Comer's Rock campground in the Jefferson National forest, which straddles the Wythe County/Grayson County, VA line. It rained for three days solid. On the fourth day, I was able to explore outside the tent and campsite. On the afternoon of August 24th, the wind shifted and the weather finally broke. I took the cot out of my tent and laid in the breeze watching the sky. A low level of cirrocumulous clouds approached from the West. Below these mottled clouds was another string of mottled clouds going in the opposite direction, which was fun to watch. The wind picked up and the lower Altocumulus clouds zoomed to the East. As I lay there looking at the sky show, I began to see triangular shaped objects inside the clouds. In the space between the cloud structures, there were several things that appeared to be solid triangular objects. Honestly, I was stunned and couldn't take my eyes off them. Perfect, clearly-formed triangular shapes almost hiding in the clouds. I felt totally mesmerized. Eventually the entire cloud bank passed to the East and I never saw anything unusual again that day.

This is not the first time seeing an UFO. It's been throughout my entire life time. My father has seen etc. I guess it's a family thing. I've had many experiences with them. I have seen many UFO's here in Ohio, along with others t been with more. As if it's watching us. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

I was watching the sky at night expecting some falling stars, when I saw for a second, with no noise at all, a fully black triangle, passing by at very high speed, at more or less 200 meters high. I only had the opportunity to see it because as I was watching. It emitted a brief two spots flashlights. It couldn’t have been a regular plane, as regular planes have constant blue/red lights, and they make noise!!! I looked in the direction the object was flying but didn’t notice any other light coming from it. Again, I only saw it for a glimpse of an eye, but I’m sure of what I’ve seen!

Erie, CO
Saw 4 triangle shaped craft coming in from NW. No noise. Seemed to be fairly low (maybe 500 ft. or less). Flying in formation that changed, seemed to arrange vertically one on top of another. Pale, with a faint pink/salmon color (my wife thought red). No lights. Turned slightly SE and flew off in that direction. Waited about another 10 minutes, then gave up. Too late and too fast for parachutes or hang-gliders. No lights whatsoever so could not be commercial craft.

Southport, FL
Saw an unusual object possibly some kind of space craft. Very high in the night sky. Intermittent flashing red and white lights. One time saw a flash of white light above and below craft looked like a photo flash. If it was a space craft it made the most unusual moves. Sometimes it would remain still and others it would abruptly turn right, go into circles, dart to the left, and back up. All of these moves were done at what appeared to be a high rate of speed. It seemed like the craft was searching for something like a bee going from flower to flower searching for nectar. Acting very erratic. Has anyone seen this same object?

Meridian, ID
I believe it was a triangle because there seemed to be a large mass not quite lit up on the side where I was watching. The ship moved in fast motions. Some points it would do a lazy sideways figure eight and it would begin to quickly fly one direction then would quickly "change its mind" and zoom back to its beginning spot. It dropped little stars which I assume are ships, some underneath of it and twp shot out of the sides and shot up in an arch formation over the Meridian Speedway. The big UFO with the lights continued to wobble in its spot while these very visible smaller ships went out if vision. Then one of OUR aircraft with four big flashlights coming off all four sides seemed to have let some of its own ships go because I quickly saw two bright blinks in the sky separate from each other, but close to where the aircraft had just passed. As I watched the UFO it slowly lowered out of my vision and made quite a light display along the way. It left my vision at 6:16 floating over Middleton. I believe it was flashing lights on our houses. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Red Lion, PA
I went out to have a smoke. While standing outside, I saw these flashing blue lights, which caught my eye. At first i thought it was a small plane, but soon realized it wasn't. The craft was moving from the Southwest to Northeast and made no sound. As I followed it, the blue lights seemed to go out. I then saw a bright white and red light and realized the craft had stopped and turned in mid air. As I watched it, it then shot straight up 100-200 ft sat there for a few seconds, and then started heading back to the Southwest. It was not moving away as fast as it had come, and i noted the blue lights were not flashing as fast either. As the craft passed I could somewhat make out the size and shape. It was larger than a car or truck but not by much. The back was sloped where the blue lights were, and tapered toward the front of the craft. The craft was over some home across the street from my home and about 500ft high when it came from the Southwest. This was not an airplane or Copter. It stopped, spun around, shot straight up and moved with no sound. I am former Air Force so i think I can distinguish between what is, and is not, an aircraft. This craft amazed me and did things no craft I am aware of can do. The blue lights were so intense and beautiful. Like a blue you can't describe. If they were lights (?), they seemed to flash faster, or slower, as the craft's speed changed. I hope someone else saw this wonderful sight tonight! Keep looking up, From Red Lion, Pa.

It was a black triangle, with two white lights and one red blinking light. It was first seen hovering over a field near a main road. Then in a field by one of the witnesses houses, also flying over a field. Then, as we turned by the local school, it was hovering over the junior high school building. I returned after about five minutes to try and get a picture, but by the time I got there, it was gone.

Seen on Rt. 30 near AC. Large triangular craft, slow moving overhead. We were traveling in our car and could not stop to take photo. Similar craft spotted a few miles ahead, near Borgata Hotel. Very strange, indeed. Witness provides no contact information. PD
