Lawrence, KS
I stepped out back behind the Press building for a smoke and looked to the north and saw what a "line"(?) of pulsing lights in the sky slowly moving along the western edge of a thunderstorm. The lights were pulsing in a solid wave to the right, far too consistent to be an airplane's running lights, and one solid blue-white color. Could've been on the edge of a disk shaped object? Too far off to tell. I moved positions to try and get a better look, but the object moved away and out of sight beyond the tree line, going very slowly. I have no idea what this was and am pretty excited because it couldn't have been an airplane. I've flown airplanes before. I know how they move and what their navigation lights look like, i.e. flashing in a set pattern and in green, red, and a white strobe. This object seemed to be pulsing a wave of light that may have gone "around" the leading and trailing edges of the object. Very cool. No way of telling how far off it was or how high up it was flying. It moved to the north in a straight, steady pace. The Lawrence Field Day and Free State festivals are going on right now, so I'm wondering if anyone else saw this.

I went outside to get something out of my car and I hear an extremely loud sound with really heavy bass elements. It sounded slightly like a helicopter, but it clearly wasn't. It flew extremely fast and low from one horizon, over my house, and to the other horizon within 10-15 seconds. As it got closer to me, it started to sound similar to a supersonic jet approaching the speed of sound. I couldn't see any form to the craft, but all I could see was two red lights, one on top of the other with the top one pulsing. Throughout the night, I saw several planes and helicopters in the sky, as usual and they looked nothing close to what I saw, which confirmed that this wasn't a normal craft. The placing of the lights weren't normal for any craft I've ever seen and there was a complete absence of headlights. I would actually bet this was a stealth military craft, rather than one of extraterrestrial origin. Either way, this was clearly a UFO and absolutely abnormal. I have the last half of the sighting on video, but at this point you can barely make it out through the trees, but you can hear it pretty well.

While observing Northern Lights, we (2 people) saw a large oval shaped mass of what appeared to be clouds, moving slowly across the sky directly overhead. It looked as if the “clouds” were surrounding something slowly moving through the sky but we were unable to see any specific object. It was moving slower than a commercial plane and appeared to be at a high altitude. No lights could be seen coming from the mass. The mass was large, almost as if a spotlight was shining in the sky but there were no clouds in the sky to be observed. It was moving in a very straight north westerly direction and eventually dissipated in the distance. One thought was that something was reflecting down on the atmosphere from space, like a reverse spotlight, such as the space station but in checking online the space station was not in our area. ((NOTE FROM MR. TED MOLCZAN)) Hello Peter, Your hunch probably is correct. The Sentinel 2A satellite was launched on a Vega rocket from the Guiana Space Center, last night at 9:52 PM EDT (Jun 23 01:52 UTC). Coverage of the launch was here: http://spaceflightnow.com/2015/06/22/vv05-mission-status-center/ SeeSat-L received several reports of sightings near 23:49 EDT (3:49 UTC), of what appears to have been exhaust from the final burn of the Vega rocket's AVUM liquid fueled upper stage. That burn lowered the perigee to ensure that the object decays from orbit within a reasonable time, in order to curb the growth of space debris. http://satobs.org/seesat/Jun-2015/0193.html http://satobs.org/seesat/Jun-2015/0194.html http://satobs.org/seesat/Jun-2015/0195.html http://satobs.org/seesat/Jun-2015/0198.html http://satobs.org/seesat/Jun-2015/0199.html Marco Langbroek blogged his analysis: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.nl/2015/06/aurora-hunter-images-last-moments-of.html Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Walked outside around 10:15pm on 06/22/2015 and looked south (in Jacksonville, Fl) in the sky and saw an object hovering in the sky with green, white, and red flashing lights. Not in any pattern. After about 15 minutes of watching the object hover, it then started to descend, in a straight, smooth manner towards the ground. After 5 minutes of it not in view, the same exact object, flew back into view, going right back to the spot it was in before. Another 15 minutes had passed of me observing while it hovered,and it began to move downward, descending then abruptly stopping. Then it darted to the left and finally descended out of view. It was unlike anything I've ever seen!

One June 21st, 2015 at approximately 22:30 EDT, I went outside to set up my camera to experiment photographing the planets Jupiter and Venus since they were very bright near the crescent moon. As I was positioning the camera and tripod to point toward the moon and two planets, I noticed a bright red object moving from north-west to south-east. This would be parallel to Main Street. There was no sound and the light did not appear to vary in intensity. There were no flashing lights that I could see, just a constant red glow. I turned the tripod to point the camera so I could try to get a photo of the object. It was dark as I had switched off my outside lights and that caused some difficulty in arranging the camera and tripod. Just as I got the camera pointed in the right direction, the object appeared to vanish into thin air. It did not accelerate, change direction of in any other way indicate it would be gone. It just vanished. Unfortunately, I did not get a photograph. Total elapsed time was about two to three minutes There were aircraft passing by at higher altitudes and in different directions and I could see their flashing lights. This object was not like any airplane I’d ever seen. I am a sixty-four year old male who enjoys accounting as a career along with computers and photography as hobbies. I do not drink alcohol other than the occasional bottle of beer or glass of wine with a friend about once a year. I do not take any recreational drugs and I do not smoke, anything. I am in good health both mentally and physically. I am near sighted and my eyeglasses give me excellent distance vision.

Dearborn Heights, MI
On 6/21/2015, at about 11:10pm, in the western sky, an entity slowly came into view from further west. Only the lights were visible, which were 2 red, 1 green, and 2 neon purple (more like blacklights) lights all intermittently flashing, as it stopped just to the lower left of the moon. You could hear no sound from it. After about 3 or 4 minutes, it literally disappeared, as if it just turned all of its lights off at once.

Clear, but slightly overcast evening. Rising moon and stars were slightly distorted by haze. Orange object was clear but unknown about about distance away from observer. Uneducated guess would be 4-7 miles. Servers times aircraft would be seen following/trailing objects. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I didn't see it myself, but someone posted this on You Tube. This is very near my house, at the grocery store I go to. See "Strange Lights in the Sky" on Fox 2 News You Tube page. Here is the link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=181&v=66-4f5-b9Bk The video is very high quality, and shows 5-6 small lighted objects, moving from right to left in the camera's frame. NUFORC has requested that the actual witnesses submit reports, and we are seeking wind data, to determine whether the objects might have been moving with the wind, or in another direction. PD

The lights were not blinking on them except for the last craft I saw. It didn't flicker like a light on a plane either, it just seemed to get brighter then slowly dim. Needless to say, I was pretty blown away by all of this.

Lombard, IL
We heard this loud sound like bass from a car going by and it was pulsing, like a deep rumble and a beat, and simultaneously, I heard helicopters flying overhead, about 3-4. I ran outside and saw two helicopters, with their lights on, (trailing behind), and one flying dark, from what I could make out against the clouds (with the lights off). It was cloudy which refracted the light back and this helicopter was flying "dark" but could be seen against the clouds... It was clearly chasing something. I am right outside class "B" airspace to the southwest, and there was no aircraft in the area (which Is very strange to say the least) for this time of night (I am in the flight path). The noise was unlike any other I have ever heard. I am a private pilot, and I have been at O'hare when the Osprey land, and Marine 1 lands as well as Air Force 1... It was reminiscent of that but the noise, it was a deep rumble/hum that I could feel in my feet on my hardwood floor. The bass, it was not the chop of rotors, it was a hum for two seconds, and then a higher pitched hum, perhaps two octaves above. Then it was followed closely with Black Hawk chop of the rotors… Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

A loud boom was heard, and then in the sky there was a jet trail that went straight an then looked like the "UFO" made a fast turn around the trail looked like it disappeared. Strangely, all the birds started flying away from the town. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Aircraft flying very low. Could not see the shape of it at night. It had wing tip lights red/green two center "headlights." It was traveling very slow only a couple hundred feet up at most, and was completely silent.

Beeville-Kennedy, TX
Was driving home on 181 heading north, it was close to 3am in the morning, it was off and on raining, saw 2 bright blinking lights up in air, the blinking had no set pattern, it would blink then shut off and pop up some where else. i could not see em when they would shut off and move and yes they would also keep blinking while moving, I was driving 70mph down the road and the lights most of the time were in front of me, at one point one came along side me and i passed it, it then followed along side me a little behind me. it was close cause i could see the light shining, lighting up the area, they had no problem keeping up with me, at first i was just seeing the one light it messed with me for a while as i drove it crossed the road and blinked very fast 5 or 6 times, when it did that the second one turned on and it blinked the same 5 or 6 times, it was like they were talking to each other, when that happened it really hit me that i had no idea what was going on and was scared how far were they going to follow me, i know at least two other people saw this going on cause a driver came up behind me and one drove passed us. i was in a state of shock during this whole time, im not sure how long they messed with me but it had to be a good 5-10 mins while doing 70mph. i finally passed em and kept watching my mirrows and i could still see em blink every now and then for a couple miles down the road, i wanted to tell this story to see if any one in the area has had the same experience.

Boundary Waters, MN
I was camping in the Boundary Waters on Bald Eagle Lake with my family. The location was just after we passed into Bald Eagle Lake from Gabbro Lake. My sister (age 40) and I (age 43), were lying on a big rock next to the lake looking at the starry sky. I was showing her how to look for satellites as I had been taught to do by a friend (looking for Sputniks) when I was a kid.) We watched what we first thought was an airplane passing across the sky and noticed that it was not creating any sound in the otherwise fairly quite night. I pointed out that it did not have the typical, rhythmic flashing of lights like a plane, and she remarked, "That's not how a plane moves!" Because it was traveling at a strange angle, and at a speed that did not seem right. Within the next 15-30 minutes we saw it two more times, passing in different directions and out of of our view (went behind the tree line behind us.) Each time we thought out loud about what it could be, ! such as a drone? and tried to come up with an explanation for what we saw. We did not see it again that night, nor the next as a storm came in. The lights seemed to flash across the object, rather than from the same location. We did see satellites that night and were able to contrast what they looked like with this object, which if it were a plane, was traveling at an altitude low enough where I would think we would hear some engine noise. I also downloaded a constellation app that night that my sister told me about to see if there was a space station or other object that might have tricked us. I tried to take a picture and video with my iPhone but the image is just black. Also potentially of interest, is that sometime during this sky viewing (my sister may recall best if we saw the plane-type thing first) is that she saw a really bright, glowing light to the right of where we were, across the lake. I asked her if it could have been a fire-fly, and she said she did not think so. I asked her other details, such as if the light illuminated anything around it, and she said it did not. The next day we looked over where she saw the light and there is a low bluff, and potentially a camping site within 1/4 mile of where she saw the bright light. We imagined it possible that someone could have shown a light, but thought it strange that it would be a one-time lighting and nothing further. My sister and I are both health care professionals. I am an avid coast to coast listener, very open-minded and curious, while I would say that my sister is less open to ideas about UFO's, so I was surprised that she was so adamant about this object not being a plane.

West Yarmouth, MA
on June 1st, 2015, at approximately 2:30 in the morning, I was sitting up in my bed after a girlfriend of mine had just left. The next thing I knew, a bright blue light was shining through my slider, and I was laying flat on my back completely paralyzed. I think I could move my eyes but I'm not sure then there were three 4 to 5 foot tall beings at the end of my bed, their faces seemed kind of blurry or maybe it's my memory of it the one in the middle was talking to me in my own voice but inside of my head. I was trying to scream or even just move, but I couldn't. I just remember him telling me that everything was going to be fine, they're not going to hurt me. I asked them what they wanted. They said they just had to run a few tests and in the blink of an eye the other two beings were on both sides of me the two of them put there two fingers underneath my lower back and my shoulder and I lifted out of the bed as if weightless then they floated me towards the slidin! g door and the flash of blue light took me out after that all I remember was a cold table and feeling very uncomfortable and then I was back in my bed sitting up and it was 430 in the morning. I have a strange circle scar on my arm and three small scars in the shape of a triange on the head of my genital. Since then I have seen a bright orange fireball floating across the sky in my back yard and I wake every night at 3:30 and can watch the clock change if this is just a dream it was the most traumatic dream I've ever had my life and I hope my kids don't have these dreams. We spoke via telephone with the source of the report, and he sounded to us to be quite eloquent and serious-minded. He mentioned that he couldn't be certain whether the event he describes above may have been a dream, or whether it was real, but his strong impression was that it was real. PD

Alto, NM
11:40 p.m., June 10, 2015. As I set outside on deck of my home in Alto, NM. My attention was drawn to the noise of a military jet flying low, just west of my location. To my amazement, I saw that the fighter jet was trailing 4 to 5 brightly lighted objects, but by no means could the jet keep up with the objects. At that time I saw several other jet engaging what seemed to be over 15 to 30 or more objects moving in and around toward the west then toward the south and then back toward Ruidoso, NM, then the jets and objects moved toward the north east. The jets in pursuit of the objects flew off toward north east of Ruidoso, NM, out of my view.

Looked to be 15 to 20 objects reflecting light very high in the sky. They reflected light like an airplane but there looked to be too many to be airplanes. I took video that shows the flickers in the sky. I do not know if anyone else saw this. Witness provides only minimal contact information. PD

Thornton, CO
I was talking to my girlfriend on the telephone outside and looked over to the west. I saw what appeared to be a plane flying vertically but too slow for a an airplane. There were numerous lights...red, green, blue and white. The lights were flashing and vertical. It was traveling to North...approximately over the foothills (over Broomfield, CO) and continued north toward Ft. Collins. I looked to the north and saw the SAME light pattern on another object also moving north then east. I was narrating the events to my girlfriend and she said to take a picture. I did but the picture doesn't show the shape or colors. Then, I scanned the sky and saw three more to the northeast very high in the sky. I have a federal and military background and can estimate the altitude of the lights over Broomfield at around 600-1000 feet above ground level. The same pattern lights seen to the high northeastern sky had to have been at least 30K feet. Two of the pattern lights were masked by a thunderstorm cloud moving north. The top of that cloud could have been 40K in altitude. Hard to estimate with the lack of light.

Monroe City, MO
There was a flying object with green and red lights that didn't move. It just stayed in one location. It was at night and in the distance, but it was very clear that it wasn't moving. It stayed in one location for 30 minutes or longer. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Webster, NY
I've never seen anything this weird. It was worm-like shaped, very bright white light, rays above and below. One end looked solid, but the rest looked like pure light. It didn't change position, but dipped near (my) the left, and then further down the object, as like waves. I'm sending the photo, so please look for that. I would like to hear from someone with an opinion as to what this could possibly be. Source of report indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD
