Valley City, ND
Earlier this evening, around 9:30 pm (just after the sun had set,) a fellow gardener and I were standing in the community gardens of Valley City, ND, and casually talking. Out of nowhere, a bright, intense object (best I can describe it, would be to say a white light sitting on top of a red light," faded into view of the southern sky, and began swooping around, quickly changing elevation and direction. I say quickly, but the movement was also very fluid. The object then proceeded to stay stationary for a brief moment, and then made a final swoop (in the shape of a backward letter "J") and faded out. This first sighting lasted approximately 45 seconds. As we sat there in amazement for a minute talking about what we might have just seen, a different object of the same characteristics appeared in the eastern sky, in the same manner, except remained stationary for approximately 5 minutes...long enough for us to assume it was a star or planet coming into view for the evening. But, then the object began slowly dancing left to right (in this case north to south.) The object began ascending into the sky, seemed to hesitate for a brief moment, and then descend below our line of sight. We sat there again, talking briefly as to what in the world we were just witness to, and then parted ways. When I arrived home about 5 minutes later, I informed my roommate, and we went for a quick drive to a better vantage point just to take another look. Before we made it up on the hill, another similar object appeared in the eastern sky. This object made similar movements as well, including low swoops, changes from left to right (north to south,) until finally soaring into the sky, hesitating yet again, and then descending below our line of sight. We sped up to get on top of the hill and look around, and saw nothing...until one final similar object appeared in the northern sky. This object, although appearance was very similar, did not behave as erratically as the other three. It simply glided along the horizon, heading east, pausing for a few brief moments. After each pause, when the object proceeded to move again, it would get faster and faster, and finally disappeared out of sight. Although 3 separate cell phones attempted to capture photographs and videos, the objects we were tracking would not show up. You may contact me if you wish.

Lowell, MA
it was hard to determine the shape, but one that I got a better look at looked like something was jutting out from it--- we turned around on Middlesex St and then only saw one for about 2 more minutes.

Also saw 2 "shooting star" type sky crossings and several "aircraft" with red lights only. Also observed a large plane with sound low flying may have circled.

Fremont, MI
Multiple lighted objects (red lights) in large group (15 to 20) moving east to west in night sky heading toward local airport. All disappeared into 'nowhere' one at a time before they reached the airport or the beacon light at the airport. Airport was empty with no incoming or outgoing planes. Very rural area. It was hard to judge the speed and determine the distance, but we believe they were within 5 miles from where we were standing.

Metairie, LA
On the evening of Aug. 7, 2015, my wife and I were sitting on our sofa watching tv and of course had the air conditioning running full blast because we have had six weeks in a row of 90 degree or higher temps every day with very little rain. It's hot even at night. Having these items on makes alot of noise in the house so it is a bit difficult to hear what is going on outside. That being said, we began to hear a noise that we could not identify. It was a pulsating noise , fairly loud that can best be described as moaning and gringing and almost like the sound that the alien crafts made in the new version of the movie war of the worlds. It was very creepy for sure. Just about the time we were aknowledging to each other that we heard this sound, an extremely, and I mean extremely loud jet engine noise came roaring out of the northeast, came right over our house, but did not pass by as a plane normally would. Instead it stayed for at least 10 to 15 seconds, then slowly moved away to the west just a bit. Our home is located in Metairie, Louisiana, about 15 miles to the West of New Orleans and the New Orleans Louis Armstrong Airport is about 5 miles due West of us. This sound scared us to death. We both instinctively ducked down as we thought for sure a plane was going to crash into our house. I ran out my back door as my wife ran to the front of our house to look out of our bedroom window. When I got in my yard and looked up I saw absolutely nothing, but could still hear very lound jet engine noise like that of an F-16 fighter. I am retired from a 32 year career with a major airline here in New Oleans and have been around jet aircraft all my life. I know what an airliner sounds like and I know what one would sound like just normally on approach to land at the airport. This was NOT an airliner. I also know that military craft are not allowed to do routine training over a dense populated neighborhood such as ours and if they fly over at all the ceilin! g should be around 1500 feet or so. Knowing these facts as I d! o, I sti ll could not identify what it was I was hearing. The pulsating sound could still be heard and the jet engine sound was now moving back and forth from East to West and West to East as if fighter jets were chasing each other. Not being able to see anything from the back yard, I ran back inside to find my wife shaking and scared to death looking out the window. She still could not see anything, but told me that the pulsating noise was really scaring her.I stayed with her for a few minutes and then ran out to my front yard. Now it really got interesting. Once in the front I could see more sky but still not any craft at all in the sky. My UFO witness report does not come from a sighting but rather a "hearing". the pulsating noise got lounder and then softer as if to pulsate in and out or back and forth. The jet engine noise was so load that I was waiting to see an explosion and fireball any second figuring that what ever it was had to be in trouble or out of control. All of the dogs in the neighborhood were barking and the cats were screming. The sounds gradually drifted further west toward the airport and started to sound as if they were going in a huge circle just like a ferrous wheel would do. And as the sound circled it still got loud then soft......when we first heard the jet noise I would estimate that it was no more than 200 feet off the ground. I was shaking in fear so bad that my knees buckled and I almost fell to the ground. Very very slowly this grouping of sounds drifted more to the West, until they faded out of my hearing. I slowly managed to walk myself back inside to consult with my wife. We sat down and compared what we had experienced but neither of us had the composure to call the police or anyone to report this. I tried to contact a couple of neighbors by text not wanting to wake anyone with a phone call at 11pm but got no responses. I run a small lawn business since I retired from the airlines, and most of my customers are in a 10 mile radius of our house. As I saw them during this week, I asked them all the same question and only got the first few words out before every single one of them without fail stopped me by instantly blurting out almost identical stories. I would ask, "Oh, by the way, last Friday night around 10:30 did........" and that is where I would get cut off. ALL of them would then say the same thing...I heard a very strange noinse, I thought a jet was going to crash into my house, I heard a weird pulsating noise, and I was too scared to evern go outside to see what it was....... I have spoken to over 15 people now and all are verly puzzled by this event. Two women actually did see something and they described it as follows. "We saw what appeared to be 5 F-16 fighter jets flying in CRAZY , INSANE PATTERNS......." Hmmmm. When I told one of my sons who now lives out of town he told me that a friend of his who lives near us, on two different occasions in the past year, has seen orange globes in the night sky flying in a triangle pattern over our neighborhood....... I know from my background in the aviation industry that military jets are not supposed to fly over our houses that low. I also know that when they would practice touch and go at the airport it would be two of them in a pair but never five all at the same time. Calendar Air Force Base is about 20 miles from our house in Belle Chase, Louisiana, and could have sent up the jets. I reported this to my councilman since it happened in the air space over his district, but I have not heard any response from him. I also reported to a local news channel but have not heard a thing back from them. Regardless of wether or not I get responses back from them, I do know that five F-16 don't just buzz rooftops and fly in crazy insane patterns over residential areas as a matter of daily training or normal missions. But yet there they were, flying in a frenzy over our heads for some reason. What were they chasing?

Long or round football shape, I don't know first flew s by se over e Vancouver in a southerly direction. I followed it on foot it disappeared by about 5 minutes later it came back about 4 to 5 miles west of its disappearence. Flying n to nw at an northerly direction. I video on my android the same craft it moved strangely jumpy like in motion the disappeared. I don't know how to send it but I know how to Facebook it at my fb page ((name deleted)) on Facebook if that will help with sound to OK. I just wanna know what it was it flew low, about 900 feet lower than the commercial planes do when they take off or land.

Machesney Park, Illinois, IL
It all started early at night, back when I lived in the neighborhood of Machesney Park Illinois. I was with my black pug Zuko out of the pool deck…when he just randomly looked straight up at the sky and started growling, all scared and tensed up like many dogs when they’re extremely on edge, I followed his gaze and when I looked up I saw it just slowly glazed across the sky, making its way over us. Didn’t look to big, but it was up in the sky so it probably looked small cause it was far away, it was only there for what felt like half a minute. It was moving slow enough for me to make out its shape. A mixture of a square and hexagonal shape, mostly square like,but with the end tips like a hexagon, there was also I glowing shape in the center of the bottom, might’ve been a circle or something but it’s kinda blurry in my memory cause the memory is eight years old. The UFO just kept going the direction it was going in (Heading what looked to be North West judging by the direction it was going in, eventually passing over us and out of sight. After that I just went straight to bed and tried to sleep despite my shock, then the next day, just went on with my life and kept quiet about it, and never told anyone up until now.

Did not see as I was inside, but felt a small rumble, which caused me to wonder if it were earthquake. I stood, pillow fell off chair, then nothing. Heard report of 2 others in Reno with same, therefore, reporting this. There was not exactly a sound, but more of a "sound wave" experience. Have also in last few months seen "falling stars" which were remarkable in time and length, clearly. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Rupert, WV
I was driving on Rt. 60 heading home from work. In between the neighborhoods of Rupert and Crawley, I saw an orange dot in the sky. I at first dismissed as a star. This object started moving closer toward me and got close enough to where I could tell there was some sort of structure around it. It makes a sudden turn and goes east very quickly and vanishes from my site.

Virginia Beach, VA
It was so unusual I called my husband outside. He came out and said...."WHOA". I said... exactly what the hell is it!?! It was very strange and almost just sitting there barely moving, very bright, pretty, large lights of red and light blue color. It just hardly moved and we stood and watched it for quite a while, then it started moving again very slowly in another dicection. We stood and watched it till it completely just disappeared. Strangest thing I've ever seen in a night sky. My husband is retired Navy and is currently with Homeland Security, and is always the logical one. He had no explanation for this.

When I looked at pic, there was something I. The image that you could not see with the naked eye ? So I took a few more pics of sky only to see something in pics that no one could see with their eyes. I thought it was worth reporting, first the military heli's the. Something weird above them, it seems to have an aura of maybe heat around it, so do the heli's? But it's close to their size? If someone would like to contact me I could maybe send pics but not sending them around just to everyone, I googled where to report and found this sight.

Long Beach Island (North Beach), NJ
There were no sound heard from the object, the object seemed to be moving slower than a jet or prop aircraft. The flight path was not as high as a jetliner. There was nearly a full moon but no identifiable shape was discernable. The time frame was 1:00- 2:00 am. There were no other color lights noted other than white.

Reno, NV
8-2-15: Two women ((initials deleted/40's/female #1) and ((initials deleted/50's/female #2)) were sitting in their hotel room ((room # deleted)) at the Marriott Residence Inn on Gateway Drive in Reno, NV. We were watching a large lightning show that had gone on for over 1 hour. It was very intense, but though there was enormous amounts of lightning; we heard no thunder. At about 1:30 am, our 1st floor room began to shake…we both thought earthquake! Then we heard a very loud noise like a giant vacuum going very slowly overhead! We could feel a large amount of energy that made all ((deleted--2nd woman's)) hair stand on end and cause ((deleted--1st woman)) to be nauseous. We looked at each other with wide eyes, and both said simultaneously, “What the hell is that?” Then a very bright white light appeared outside the window. The light seemed very low…barely clearing the top of the 2 story hotel. It was angled down toward the ground. We thought it was finished going over, but then a second round of the very loud bass sound began crossing the ceiling. We determined that there were either 2 objects or on very large object with 2 engines. There was no light accompanying the second sound. Things that were hanging in the room were swaying. ((female #2)) ran outside to see what it was but because of the trees and height of the surrounding hotels was unable to see anything but the light moving very slowly. She heard what she could only describe as loud mechanical wailing. We waiting to see if we would hear anything else….like the freeway or maybe airplanes. We did hear those things but it was NOTHING like the fly by experience. We were freaked out by it. ((female #2)) began frantically texting her husband, who told her to call 911 if anything else happened. No other strange happenings occurred, so she did not call. The sound was like nothing either had ever experienced before. ((femal #2)) grew up next to an international airport and is very familiar with the sounds of helicopters, and even fighter jets. This was neither of those things. Both women were convinced that it was an aircraft unlike any they knew of. They were shocked. ((female #1's))((deleted--teen relative) slept through the whole experience. We could find no reason why a helicopter or plane would fly that slow and low over hotels. We considered that there is an Emergency Room at the Renown Hospital nearby, but this craft did not fit any of our understanding of a typical helicopter. It was moving extremely slow, and had a constant bass humming sound...no chopper sound at all. There were dogs in this hotel and they were all barking. ((female #2's)) ears were ringing very loudly from the intense sound. This lasted until she fell asleep several hours later. Neither of these two women have ever experienced anything like this before and both were trying hard to figure out what it could be...in the end, both agree it was either a secret military craft or a UFO

Glenmoore, PA
I was sitting on my front porch in Southeastern, PA, facing southeast at approx.11:30 pm on 8/1/15. Their was a nearly full moon and the sky was mostly clear with no discernible surface wind. The high clouds were moving very slowly, almost imperceptibly suggesting light winds aloft. I was watching distant lightning (50-60 miles away) from a storm passing near the Cape May/Delaware Bay, NJ, area that I was also watching on my Accuweather radar app. I saw a bright red object flying by to my right, and assumed it was an airplane, since I live directly under the approach route for Philadelphia International Airport. Immediately, I saw an identical red object about 1/4 mile behind the first object, and slightly to the right of the first object. This second object appeared to be gaining on the first object and moved to the right. It looked like 2 planes flying in a loose formation. I judged them to be about 2 miles away. I would estimate their airspeed at somewhere around 200 mph. I am a 19 year licensed pilot, and I immediately noticed 2 unusual things about the objects; they were completely silent and they weren't "strobing." This is unusual because all aircraft are required by the FAA to have a green position light on the right wing, a red position light on the left wing, a strobe light on the underside of the aircraft, and a white position light on the tail. These objects I observed were just glowing a steady red. Also, I see aircraft at this distance every day and there is always audible engine noise, especially with 2 planes that close together on a quiet night. These objects were silent. I immediately picked up my binoculars and was able to observe the objects for about 10 seconds. They were glowing steady bright red, then they slowly faded for about 3 seconds before completely disappearing. About 10 seconds after this I saw 2 more identical objects flying in exactly the same area of sky at the same speed and at the same distance from each other. I watched them through my binoculars and they disappeared in exactly the same location as their predecessors. I have an app on my Iphone, Flight Radar 24, that shows all the air traffic in the sky. I immediately looked to see if their was any traffic in the area at that time and it showed nothing at all within miles of that area. I have another Iphone app, Sky Guide, which shows where all the satellites are in the sky and it showed nothing at all above my home. I see satellites, meteors, and objects like the Intl.Space Station all the time. These 4 objects were very different. So I'm really perplexed. What did I see?

Somerville, NJ
Some very close friends of mine were driving (leaving Somerville). We were on RT 287, coming towards Piscataway. My friend who was sitting in the passenger seat spotted spotted a triangular form shaping with three circular light objects and so did I. They didn't look like planes or helicopters (as so her husband thought) but as soon as we looked the circular light at the tip of the triangular formation was moving fast and away! We realized, as we kept driving, we saw them again, but only two this time and they seemed to be close, and I'm sure that no helicopter or plane would look at that close!!! I'm not sure, but they were bigger, so that means they were closer. I know what lights look like and those weren't lights, but there was a light that covered what seemed to be fast moving objects. It had like a glow so to speak. It scared the living crap out of me!!!

Salem, NH
I live by the town woods, which are near my bedroom window. I was awoken by a loud humming/whistling noise that sounded like a sweeper truck or something. As I went to look out the window it got really loud and there was a bright light that was with the object. It was either a large object or a small one that went directly over my home because it was very noisy. My dog was going nuts. It didn't sound like a plane, but as I said was a loud humming, whistling noise. Maybe military exercise? Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
