Greeley, CO

I was in my bed trying to take a nap when I get a call from my husband at work saying that he wanted to let me know his manage had sent him outside to look up at the sky and see the odd lights. He told me to go outside and check and so, of course, I did. When I went outside and searched around, it wasn’t long before I found the lights he was talking about. There were three extremely bright ones (equivalent to the North Star) and above was a huge cluster of at least 100 smaller lights. It almost appeared as though they were spelling out something but I couldn’t quite make out what it was. As I was standing out there staring at it and trying to figure out what or if it said anything, the three larger lights started blinking, slowly at first then a bit more rapidly and eventually blinking out, the smaller lights following suit. They all looked as though they were stars with the same shape and color as one you would just randomly see in the sky but I have never seen stars behave like that.

Cheshire, OR

Big glowing green orb. As soon as I seen it it seemed to know I seen it and took off as I ran to keep my eyes on it it then changed direction downwards and disappeared right before it hit the earth. Source of report indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD

Peru, NY

While driving south on Ny interstate I-87 at 11:45 pm, as I began entering an area of interstate under construction, I noticed a bright orange orb at roughly 50 deg. Inclination. My attention had to be totally on driving at this point and I could not stop of course! It traveled seemingly under its own control and I saw no trail, or tail. As the orb was headed due north, the passing was brief but astounding!

Coalgate, OK

Neon green cluster of spiraled worm shaped lights, about 15 to 20 of them, different lengths, that seemed to spill out from a single point in the sky, just above tree level. They grew longer the further from the origin point they moved. Seemed to move by spiraling and spinning. No extra light or glow where the lights seemed to spill out of. About 100 feet north of this area, another group of about four of these lights start spilling out of a point, but not as fast or as many. Then they all seem to go out; there is no flying off, they just disappear.

Westerly, RI

Hundreds of thousands of tiny white, shimmery dots converging into clusters and going up into the sky. Lasted about 10 minutes. I have never seen this in my area before. Definitely not chinese lanterns or insects.

Fredonia (10 miles west of), UT

I was driving a moving truck eastward on Highway 389 with my Wife trailing behind in her car. There were also at least 5 cars behind us because of the slower speeds my rented truck would go. We were about 12 miles west of Fredonia, Arizona at the time. We saw traveling toward us three of what appeared to be smaller 4 engine "T" tail flat black unmarked aircraft flying less than 200' off the ground. Okay, so what? Their air speed was less than 20mph. I am a retired engineer by trade and am certain of that fact. I was traveling about 50mph as I approached them. The plane in the lead turned with its wings completely vertical to the ground and crossed N to S over the highway clearing a power pole by less than half the length of the pole. Then it leveled out and flew back over the highway to the north side of the road flying with the other two parallel to the highway in an east to west direction. We had all three planes lower in altitude to abo! ut 100' and fly again at less than 20mph directly over the line of cars. I had heard no sound and could not believe what I was seeing, so I rolled down my window and did not hear even a whisper of a sound from any of them. I have flown radio control airplanes since I was 18 and my planes would have stalled at the speeds these were going. The planes shadows covered our cars as they flew over us because they were so low. I dialed 911 at that time and reported it. The Sheriff said they had a lot of experimental military aircraft fly that corridor. I'm reporting this as a UFO experience because there are no conventional aircraft that can fly that slow doing the things I saw them do. I'm guessing their airspeed from watching the power poles as they passed. Also the experience took some time. Let's say their stall speed was 120mph this would have happened in a blur. This was in slow motion and none of us could believe it. There were no markings of any kind on them. I ! had my camera sitting on the seat beside me but was so amazed ! by what I saw I didnt even think of taking a picture. I looked into the engine of the lead plane and I could see no parts of any kind in it. I did some contract work for the Military at the Dugway Proving Grounds Ditto Labs and had a small Military jet fly low over my car and I thought it was going to blow my windshield out. These had no sinsation of wind or sound of any kind at 100' from them. Why am I reporting this now. Well I reported it to MUFON a couple of days later and all they would say was there was no plane that matched my description. Well I finally found a plane that looks a great deal like it. It's a BAe-146-100-sta British plane minus the stinger on top. These looked like airplanes but were not subject to gravity. I'm absolutely convinced that the engine pods were empty. They did not require an airfoil to fly or move. Everyone was simply speechless. They had no identifying marks and were flying objects, as such UFO's. I remember the details because I was ! fascinated with them. I've watched Military aircraft since I was 5 years old in Tucson watching them fly into Davis Monthon AFB matching them to a small picture book of Military aircraft my Parents gave me. As I live I testify that what we saw were not airplanes in the conventional sense of the word. This has bothered me every day since then. My perspectives were good and crystal clear to even seeing a flash of two people inside. I should have included that the planes were casual and floating a little right and left very close to the ground. They looked like they were having fun and showing off for the cars below. That's exactly what it seemed like.

Buffalo, NY

Today is a beautiful day, the sky is a bright blue color, and the clouds are all white. I was driving on the thruway next to Lake Erie and I noticed a small black cloud hovering maybe 200 feet above the thruway over the water. The cloud was easy to differentiate because it was so close to the ground. I slowed down and started watching it. I was wearing tan-colored lens sunglasses, and when I took them off, I could hardly notice the black cloud. When I put them back on, the cloud was very visible. I watched it for about 15-20 seconds, and right before my eyes, it disappeared! I have never seen anything like it before.

Woodland, CA

I was driving down Main Street and noticed a group of people near the sidewalk looking up and pointing at the sky. I was driving in the opposite direction and really wanted to see what they were looking at, so I pulled over into the nearest parking lot, looked up and saw a cluster of what appeared to be very large roundish dark colored UFO's with tails floating high above me. There were at least 30 and all were moving in unison. I watched them float and move slowly through the sky for a couple of minutes. I very quickly moved my car over a few spaces, as my view was partially blocked. I looked up again and they were gone.

Seattle, WA

Despite having seen a UFO many years ago, I never thought I'd report a sighting to you. September 9th, 2015, while riding the LINK light rail south through Columbia City. I saw an orange craft, that I initially thought was an airplane banner, yet no airplane was near it. As my train moved along, and I viewed this in the western sky. The object did not diminish in size, nor move. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Pasco, WA

I'm facing the river, looking west you can see the glow of the Hanford site operation lights. Above these lights, which I've seen many times before, I notice a flashing red and white light. It was probably on the western side of the reactor complex, it wasn't directly over it. I carry binoculars, so I got them out and had a look. Upon getting a better view, I can see that there are two red lights on the up side, I can't say witch was up and two white lights on the down or bottom side. At this point the lights were flashing much like an aircraft would but was stationery in the sky. After a minute or so, it started moving from the west, heading north northeast. When the thing got over the Columbia River, it stopped and went backwards the way it had come from, and again immediatly stopped turned back the way it was originally headed. It the went up or north for a second two, then flew slowly over the white bluffs you can see their outlines in the dark. When it got right to the edge where I would lose sight of it, it stopped. Sat there for about thirty seconds, and then disappeared out of view. About five minutes went by, and then I could see it again heading from the north, now traveling west southwest. It stopped again for a few seconds and then must have flown directly west. What really was interesting was a few minutes later the Auroras Borealis or northern lights gave an impressive light show for me. I had seen them only once before when I lived in Norway.

Cambria, CA

Clear night sky on the beach at Cambria, California. The unknown craft flew north to south, low over the ocean, close to the beach. It had NO sound and had dull orange glowing tips on its "wings," which appeared to be 12+ feet apart. Moved very quickly, faster than a drone. Lights on the wings did not flash. Two observers. Unable to identify.

Gibbon, MN

As I looked at it longer I saw a black object in the center of it that looked like a saucer with dome on top as if looking at it from the side. I looked at my husband and pointed to the sky and said am I crazy, or is there something in the sky right there? He looked up and he saw the same thing that I did. It was very close and seemed as if it was only a few miles away but your organization asked us to call the National Weather Service and we have now found out that the storm was 67 miles away in a town called New Richland, Minnesota. We stood and watched this for several minutes and seemed me that it was there one second, and then it was gone. However, my husband having better eye-sight, said it was simply that I couldn't see it anymore because it was heading into the storm and quickly being shrouded by this mysterious cloud. I am originally from Florida and have never seen lightning act this way, nor seen anything like this dark, slow moving, silent object.

Glendale, AZ

We live in North Glendale, Arizona, on the border of Peoria. Directly above us, we started watching what we "thought" was a common satellite until we saw it move in many directions, almost like dancing. It would move east, many short bursts of speed, then slow down, sometimes hover/pause, then back slowly to the west, sometimes fast, U turns, circles, pause, then south then north, every which way. (We agreed it was brighter and larger than a satellite. Like a very bright star, but not as bright as a planet.) We phoned a friend a few miles SE of us and they said from their vantage point, it appeared to bounce up and down. They told their next door neighbor who said they watched it the night before, Sept. 5. Unable to see it via camera. We observed it until approx 23:30 then went to bed. Will contact Lowell Observatory scientist on Sept. 8 upon their return from Labor Day.

Trinidad, CA

Object was silver out over the water by the Trinidad Pier where my friend took a picture of the pier and noticed this object in his pic later that first looked like a saucer but with close up had protruding sides also he has this on his cell phone pictures and it's nothing we recognize.

Stratford (Canada), ON · Canada

Witnessed a large bright bird like shape in night sky. At first thought light was a shooting star moving very fast from east to west until bright light made a 90 degree turn and charged direction to move from south to north. This was not a airplane as it was moving too fast and to high up in atmosphere to be a plane and planes can't turn as fast as this did. Also, although light was shaped like a bird it was again moving too fast and to high in atmosphere to be a bird.

Selden, NY

Then, I saw it was flying in my direction. As it got closer, I saw it was a very bright glowing light of a aircraft. As it got closer, I saw it was not an aircraft, as we know one, but a shape like our pentagon, almost. It was silent, with very intense bright rings of amber pink circles, of the exact same size of each other. It hovered at about 1000 feet or more above me silent, and then moved hovering in a north east direction. At that point, I tried to follow it in my jeep, but lost it, as it gained altitude and headed north very fast. I would also like to mention about five years ago at the old Grumman's site in Calverton, NY, as i was watching sky divers floating down, I noticed something following down above them and quite close. It looked like quarter lenght of a telephone pole, very gracefully moving about 100 feet above the ground and hangars. At first, I thought possibly some one had a jet pack on. As i got closer, I saw it was just a pole floating and hovering. Then, after about 4 minutes, it gained altitude, and flew south east out of sight. We spoke at length via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite sincere about his sighting. We suspect that it is a reliable report of what he had witnessed. PD

Twinsburg, OH

At approximately 8:30 pm on 8/29/2015, we witnessed 2 then a 3rd strange glowing lights ? In the southern hemisphere moving east very quick then stopping for about 3 -5 seconds. Then one by one they shot straight up into the atmosphere it took 3-4 seconds to disappear. No sounds no red green blinking lights . At first they appeared to be Chinese lanterns with same glowing color. For sure they were not. And they were not helicopters . 3 of us watched in amazement. I'm not a ufo chaser or anything of the sort. I decided to report this 12 hrs later to local authorities. This was just way to bizzare not to say anything.

They hovered for about 20 minutes, then moved away independently of each other, at a high rate of speed.

Annapolis, MD

I was up at 2 in the morning and heard a loud noise that echoed through the neighborhood. It sounded like alien sonar over and over above me and lasted about 4-5 minutes. I peeked through the blinds but was afraid to go outside. It was a sound I have never heard but sounded out of this world. I have searched the internet but have not found any similar experiences

Las Vegas, NV

We were out in the pool last night about 9:45pm. We go in the pool at this time probably 5 to 6 times a week. We float around in the pool and look at the sky and stars. A few weeks ago we saw a meteor. Usually some planes from Nellis Air Force Base, and some planes heading to the Las Vegas airport, or planes very high up flying to some other area. Last night, I looked and was stunned because this V-shaped object was flying north to south. There was no sound and no lights. All the planes we have seen have always had lights on them. It seemed light colored, and I think I only saw it because the moon was kinda bright and seemed to reflect some light off the object. As soon as I realized this object seemed strange, I called to my roommate to look where I was looking. He also saw it, before our view was blocked by my neighbor's tree. He agreed it was very odd, and didn't have any lights on. It seemed pretty large and was moving at a good speed. It was going in a straight line. We were both stunned by what we saw, because we have never seen anything like this object before, and we are in the pool at night 5 or 6 times a week since late April.

El Monte, CA

A friend and I were observing a passing satellite (dim light object) passing from South to North. We assume they are satellites because many travel throughout the night. When the object passed directly above us, 2 flashes of lights appeared, flashes were 1/2 second apart from each other. Flashes did not move, they were in the same area. The size of a school bus, squared, white light. Unexplainable experience, never seen before. We both stayed for another hour trying to see if the flashes appeared, but unfortunately they did not. We have observed many satellite objects in years but never seen flashes.
