North Ridgeville, OH
I was standing outside looking up at the full moon around 9:56pm tonight and i look and i see these blinking and flashing lights in the sky , at first there were only five then all of a sudden at least three more showed up. All of them came together in a circle extremely close to eachother then all of them broke away using maneuvering that our military can't do and there were also at least two of what i thought to be jets, only because i could hear the afterburners and i could see there jetstreams by the light of the moon. well the ones i thought were ours weren't like flying directly at the flashing and blinking lights it was like they were either tracking whatever they were or observing them. but every time they got even an inch closer the lights would be gone not like super fast but almost like they glided through the sky.the time now is 10:28pm im outside again and i can still make out a couple blinking lights and earlier there was only one of them that only would slowly light up red and slowly go dark again. if anything changes ill try and post it on here.

San Diego, CA
6:15 am got up to let the dogs out right before sunrise. Noticed to the east clouds in the distance starting to turn pink…slightly higher up in the sky closer to me there was one large light and one smaller light in a straight line that were close enough to suggest a craft not two independent objects, and oddly the lights were somewhat fuzzy like in a bit of fog yet no fog at all. I had the FEELING OF O THAT IS NOT GOOD…why I don’t know. It was silent, not moving and oddly out of focus. It SEEMED that it was something there, not two stars. I watched it, took the dogs in fed them, and went back out it was still there…5 minutes….came back in and returned to watch the sun rise as it was brightly colored and in another 5 minutes or so I kept checking and it was gone. I just somehow knew it was an UFO but how I don’t know and clearly it left. Took a photo looks like nothing exciting. Planets in the eastern sky?? PD

Two bright orange orbs hovering high over Los Angeles for about 5 minutes, one moved forward a little, then both disappeared. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Portland, OR
Standing in backyard taking the dog out. An unknown object possibly rectangle in shape with three orange fire-like lights inside of it, the middle light the brightest, came diagonally from the south east. Object was moving steadily and straight, about twenty feet above the tree line. Object was silent but seemed very close for the first minute. Object continued to the North West moving diagonally and swiftly gaining altitude for about another minute until breaking cloud cover near a recent jet trail and disappearing.

Wilsonville, OR
There was an air balloon flying near Wilsonville, Oregon, on October 24, 2015, at around 5 pm, I was looking at it and the surrounding sky, when I was looking at the southern sky area I noticed a "shiny object" near a cloud that moved "odd," it was still for a little while and then turned in a circular manner changing direction towards the north (Portland, OR), it moved for a little while going north, the object stopped and hovered near another cloud, it stay there for another while, then kept moving again towards the north until it was no longer visible. The object was WAY up in the sky, it looked shinny, possibly metallic, and had a roundish shape, it was way up there so couldn't really make out any specific details. I had a camcorder with me and was so excited I was watching a "UFO", I thought I was recording the object, but unfortunately forgot to push the record button, only got a tiny segment and some frames, it was very difficult to see on the camcorder anyways. A friend was walking with me, I told him to look, he got to see the object too, not just me. I'm reporting it just in case someone else might have seen the same object in the sky around the same time.

Milwaukie, OR
seen bright light in sky but thought it was just a plane very low. then the lights went from bright to low, then flew to right and disappeared in a sec. while the other one was just about to disappear a second craft came. low lights, then bright lights. all this was over 201 freeway in Clackamas, Oregon. at least that's what the area seemed to be from where we live, which is only about 5 blocks from freeway. second flying object hovered a little bit, just as the 1st one, but the seemed to fall. these objects had varies lights. red and white and possible one other. The 2rd object came and disappeared within seconds. we recorded one, but it was on a phone, however it did show it just disappear. extremely odd. but cool. :)

Alexander, AR
There were three tonight they look round , small they're bright white. They were moving around a lot different directions turning and turning again they seem to move very fast but stay out up to 3 hours a time we've lived here a year now and I've seen these objects almost every night, or early in the morning before 6, 2 days ago it was daytime around 5 pm. It was more yellow in color, that day a jet flew right under and past it twice I thought that pretty cool/crazy. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Aston, PA
I was taking my trash out and see a very blue shaped ball, This ball came from the sky and came down next to me it changed. Colors from blue to yellow then mixed colors, it moved around me and would change shape. I was in fear but I could not move. Then it took off I was able to get pictures it is really crazy to see it change color and shape,

Washougal, WA
It was three bright red lights moving exactly the same speed. when the object turned the lighrs moved together. As it came closer the lights got bigger and wider. Total I would say it was close to a mile wide. While it was moving through the sky it passed stars and when it did the star wiggled and looked like you were looking at the star through water

Milford, MA
I happened to look up and watched two lines coming straight down from the sky for about 3 minutes. It went very slow, and then disintegrated or totally disappeared. I did not see a shape of a craft. I just seen two huge lines side-by-side. It looked like it was many feet apart, but it looked like a plane coming straight down. It was one of the strangest sights I have ever seen in my life.

Williams, CA
This video and photos were taken on October 20, at approximately 5:15am, right off of I-5 in Williams , CA. While neither the photos nor the video reflect the true shape of the two objects we saw which were glowing brighter than any planet I have ever seen in the sky, it is clear that they were not orb shaped. They appeared in the shape of large dragon flies on their sides-one wing up and one down, and remained relatively stationary for around an hour as we travelled 40 miles to the east (Kelseyville) where we again observed them (still the same size). I concluded they must be very large to appear the exact same size and brightness 40 miles away from the original sighting location. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0o-BSpzi2KE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ccj_RHR94Mg

Gilbert, AZ
As soon as I got off of the phone and turned my car towards the craft it started to move fairly slow away from me. It resembled a drone but was way too large to be one. About 6 white lights around craft and made no noise.

St. Marys, PA
I got a video of it changing lights and moving rapidly. At one point it had an aura of purple/blue light all around it, but only for a few seconds. Then saw a red craft moving in a zigzag motion a off to its right side.

Bakersfield, CA
We tried calling a news station, and the first one we called wasn’t really interested. The weather man was off for the evening. So we took some pictures and tried to get video but it was too high up to get any great footage. They are tiny dots by this point. They started to the west of us, moved overhead, off to East, then North-West, till we could no longer see them. Our location was Calle Alisos, just West of Stockdale Hwy., and Jenkins Rd., Bakersfield, CA 93314. The objects were in a star-like formation, almost like one of the dipper’s. Bright white like stars, were moving very slowly at first. So slow, you almost missed the movement, then began moving seemingly faster, from East to West, then North-West, until out of sight.

Boomer, NC
I was walking with my family past our horse barn approaching the top of this old apple orchard and my three and half year son points up above the orchard and says “what’s that” we all look and we see what we all agree on was a shiny whirlwind which slowly began moving up higher and higher into the bluebird sky from on top of the orchard hill. My dad and I picked up our pace and moved up the hill to the location where we first saw lit keeping our eyes locked on the phenomenon. We both describe it as silvery shiny orb like things that resembled a school of fish if they were stuck in a vortex. We got really close probably within 50ft and watched as this shiny vortex just moved up up and away. It eventually disappeared as it passed out of view over the ridge line about 400 yards to the NE and 500 ft or so above our initial position. Whatever it was it was magical and none of us would have seen it if my kid hadn’t called it out while we were walking.

Ashville, NY
I had to let the dogs outside about 4am. In my mud room on my house, I have a back door for the dog pen and a front one to go outside to the driveway. I had let the dogs outside using the back door and noticed all the stars in the sky that morning. I wanted to look at more stars and decided to go to the front door and look at the stars on that side. Upon opening the door I noticed a round orange glowing light just over my neighbor's house and the trees right behind them. I have looked in the night sky in the same direction many times, so I know for a fact there is nothing in that direction to cause the light. It hovered for about half hour and in a blink of an eye it was gone. I know what I seen and it can not be explained.

Orange, CA
There was an extremely loud noise overhead, similar to that of bombs dropping from the sky. There were no airplanes present above at the time and the sky was clear. Five to ten minutes after the loud noise, there was a red orb which fell from an extremely high altitude (similar to that or above which planes fly); and soon turned to a white light, and then a green light lasting about fifteen seconds. Fifteen to twenty minutes after the orb of colors fell, a bright blue light streaked by lasting no more than five seconds. In this short amount of time, the light had gone from my current location to the ocean which is about seventeen miles.

Nelson (New Zealand) · New Zealand
I am a 45 year old father of two daughters 10 and 13. Yesterday 13 October at around 7:45pm we were walking on Tahuna Beach in Nelson New Zealand. I had taken them down to the beach for a walk after tea and to eat Cookie Dough Bites for dessert. The sun had just about gone down and there was heavy low cloud cover on the horizon. All 3 of us saw this object follow the skyline. There was no noise. It had a black part at the front. It was not luminated. Trailing behind the black part was what looked liked flowing tentacles. These tentacles moved into various shapes behind and sometimes around the front part. The tentacles did not move randomly but seemed to moved in a very deliberate manner, at one time forming an almost perfect square behind the solid black part. It moved quickly across the sky before fading from sight. I recorded it on my iphone. It can be see a lot more clearly when I play it on my iphone and zoom into the picture. I've taken some screen shots of the video zoomed in. I recorded for a minute but its hard to see after about 24 seconds. Two more followed shorty after. They looked exactly the same and were spaced about 1-2 minutes apart.

I was driving down Highway 2081 and saw 6 bright lights about 4,000ft in the air. They were solid white in color and they weren't moving. They then slowly faded away till they disappeared.

Biloxi, MS
After I returned home with my husband about 30 mins later, the light was still in the sky but had changed position and was further south. We both got out our phones and pulled up Skyview to see if we could figure out what it was. The position was close to the position of the constellation Leo but was not a planet either. Even though I could clearly see the light through my viewfinder, the app did not recognize the object. When I went back out later after 5am, it was gone. The same light appeared the next night with the same result of Skyview not being able to determine the object. The times we saw it were between 3 am and 4 am. Last night the object did not appear, however, earlier in the evening, my daughter claims to have seen somethi! ng similar hovering in the area of Back bay of Biloxi. We had not told her of our sighting and she had described a similar large glowing object that was much larger than a star. Venus. PD

Bartlesville, OK
It was black and dark very high in the night sky. This thing was real. Again no noise. I would say it was 10-20k feet, but had to have been at least a quarter mile in length. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be quite sober-minded. We suspect that he is a reliable witness. PD

The oblong light was visible on the traffic report on NC17 news. I recorded it.

Norwalk, CA
I had glanced up at the sky around 2100 yesterday and again at around midnight and were only able to see a handful of dimly lit stars. I couldn't see Orion's belt or even the North Star. I also could not locate the International Space Station. At approximately 0530 I laid down on a couch we have next to a big sliding window that leads to the pool in the back yard. The window faces east. That is when I first took notice of the bright light hovering in the distance. The light was very bright and had an unmistakable sparkle to it. I was looking directly at it expecting for it to move but nothing was happening. Around 0600 a second light, relatively dim, but with the same sort of shape and sparkle appeared far in the distance to the East. I then noticed that, at least the original light I had spotted was actually moving west, albeit ever so slowly. I grabbed my iPhone and took some pictures and a short, 1 minute video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKPx65li2VU By 0630 the original light had moved past the upper boundary of the sliding window and it was no longer visible to me from my vantage point. But it was still there. I know this because every so often I would get up and move my body closer to the window as I stretched my neck looking for it. I was looking at the second light, wondering what these things could be. Suddenly, I see what I can only describe as a triangle shaped ball of fire moving from south to north, or left to right of my window. My first thought was that this was the original light I had been looking at because it was just as bright, perhaps brighter. It moved quickly and left my field of view in a matter of seconds. I jumped to my feet to get a better look where it was heading. It is not difficult to spot a bright light in the early morning sky. I followed it attentively as it traveled north and then it simply disappeared. Gone. Just like that. Almost as if someone had hit the light switch. I blinked a couple of times. It was gone. I found myself disappointed for not having captured it on video. The sky was starting to turn blue by this time and the two original lights I had been looking at seemed to be the only bright objects in the sky. I went inside, grabbed my iPhone and shot a couple of pictures. I continued looking at these lights until the morning sun made them disappear.

Mobile, AL
I had just came back from a night fishing trip and lingered in the backyard to smoke a cigarette before turning into bed and looked up at the clear starry sky and recognized the familiar little and big dippers. Just then within the short time frame that I was staring up at the sky, a v-shaped illusion appeared it was quite big, about the size of an inch if I were to hold my fingers up to the sky. Like one other person said, it seemed like it was cloaked and camouflaged with the stars. It was a tad bit darker than the sky but was clearly outlined. It did not have lights but had a bright glow to it. Very transparent in color. The v-shaped object was very quiet, no sound, and it glided at a steady pace across my very small area of view as there are trees around mine and my neighbors yard. At the very moment I spotted it I called to my brother and he looked up and saw it too, but only for a second. We now are both believers.
