Indianapolis, IN
Looking northeast towards Indianapolis from Eagle Creek, we noticed two stationary lights hovering in the sky. They hovered close together for a couple minutes and then the right one quickly shot up diagonally before flying directly overhead, maybe towards Whitestown. The second plane continued to hover before following the same path, and was shortly followed by a third. They were triangular, military aircraft and were near silent as they flew low overhead. It was very strange and seemed to be a purposeful flight, they weren't just passing by. It seems unlikely that they would waste personnel and resources to carry out a military exercise over Indiana, but if so, then why the hovering and strange maneuvers?

Brecksville, OH
Saw a "big white triangle" floating above me head in Brecksville. It had green lights on one side and red lights on the other side. It wasn't flying. It made no noise. It was simply floating above me head at about 12am. It was HUGE.. like two football fields and it was just above the trees .. maybe fifty feet higher than the trees (Cuyahoga County, Ohio, 13 miles south of Cleveland, Ohio) 4-13-16 eleven o’clock at night.

Lamberton, MN
On April 11th, I decided to sit in my hot tub - I was out there sometime between 7 pm and 11 pm - not sure how long or exact times. At around maybe 9 pm I saw a very well defined whiteish triangle shoot across the sky towards the southwest. It was 1 1/2 inches in size at arms length. Still trying to figure out what it is - I actually have fairly good knowledge and experience viewing natural and manmade things.

Williamston, MI
I was lying on the roof of one of the buildings in my hometown with two of my close buddies after a night of hanging out. The building was three stories high and we climbed up there to look at the stars and talk about guy stuff. It was an unusually warm April night so we decided to stay out late and relax a little and enjoy the night. I was the only one who actually saw the craft, as I was the first one up on the roof and subsequently the first one to lie down and look up. It was an extremely clear night and as I laid their waiting for my buddies to catch up I noticed three stars making out a perfect triangle. At first I thought nothing of it as my eyes adjusted to the enormous amount of stars in front of me, but suddenly (and silently) all three stars making up the triangle began to move at an accelerated pace. My first reaction was “wow, that plane is flying really low.” But I immediately realized it was making no sound and there was absolutely no way this was an airplane. Within the span of no more than four second, the three starts making up the perfect equilateral triangle had moved from the eastern half of the night sky, directly over me, and then into the western half, vanishing simultaneously before ever reaching the western horizon. Over the span of four seconds, three stars, equidistant apart, moved across the entire night sky simultaneously before disappearing instantaneously into the night sky. I have no idea what I witnessed, and weeks later I am still baffled by what I saw. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Elgin, IL
I walked out my back door to bring in my grilling tools to wash them, and noticed a large triangle shape in the sky to the south. It was formed by 3 bright white lights on each tip of the triangle. It was really hard to tell how high up it was, but seemed to be large. There was zero noise heard at all. The lights were not flashing, and they weren't shimmering like stars, just bright steady white lights. There was a tree right next to were I spotted them and using the tree for reference they WERE moving slowly towards the NE. I came back just 12-15 minutes later, and they were no place to be seen anyplace in the sky. v Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Hildale, UT
I was looking out my back window just before we sat down to dinner and watching a high flying plane spraying contrails in an already very saturated sky. The plane was flying directly west and I noticed another craft flying in the exact opposite direction, from west to east, crossing just beside the plane. At first glance, I figured it was another airplane just like the first one, but quickly realized it was definitely not. It appeared to be triangular, black in color. I watched it pass the airplane in a straight line, then abruptly, it began performing impossible circling and zig zagging maneuvers before abruptly veering off quickly to the north and disappearing from view when obscured by the mountains behind our town. I watched it for approximately 45 seconds or so before it disappeared behind the mountain line. It should also be noted that during the time I watched this spectacle, it weaved in and out of contrail clouds before finally disappearing from view behind the group of mountains. It stood out as stark black even through the haze of the clouds and was still traceable when partly shrouded by cloud cover because of this. The object was soundless, but from my perspective, seemed too high up to detect any sound, had any been made.

South Portland, ME
Somewhere around 0236-ish While riding in a car, saw bright light halfway above horizon, dismissed it as a bright Venus, but I didn’t think the direction was correct. As we got closer, could see head on, two bright “headlights” with two small blinking lights, one on either side. We drove underneath it, and then I realized it was either moving very slow or not at all. From underneath, could see the light, almost grayish, color of the triangle against a clear dark sky. In the triangle were 3 larger lights on the points, and a series of many smaller lights forming an inner diamond. Outside of the colored portion where you could only see black sky, were the blinking lights, one on each side, one red, one green. The driver of the car thought me crazy, and didn’t want to look at it. So we kept the same speed, drove head on, underneath, then away, in about the course of a mile or less, with me watching it the entire time. I could only hear the sound of the car we were in. I’m trying to dismiss it as a drone or secret plane, but the size, slowness, and definitive shape were a very new sight for me. I’m not sure of the height because I’m not sure of the size, but I could see actual details in the underside like I was looking at model plane up close, but there were too many to recall with accuracy.

The top one was brightest an the lower two were flickering. Around 2:50 AM, they had moved further away and weren't as bright and barely visible.

Triangular object with green and red flashing lights with one spot light heading east then made a sharp turn north towards the city of Missoula, getting super low to the ground. We attempted to contact the witness, in order to clarify a few points about her report, but we were unable to reach her, either via telephone, or e-mail. PD

Me with my friend were just sitting and watching the sky, and suddenly a triangle appeared in the sky with no sound and moving really fast. Lights were white/yellowish and we saw some black lines connecting the three lights. I saw that every light was in bird kind of shape and first thought they were birds but it didn't make sense at all and I was just shocked. It flew low and we have no explanation to this but this is what we saw. Time was about 11:55. There appears to be an error in the date, and perhaps the time. We have attempted to contact the source of the report, for confirmation, but have not heard back from him yet. We have amended the date above. Possible hoax, we wonder. PD

Rumney, NH
I saw what looked like a car in the sky... Bright red Like brake lights it was a bar of light with a distinct pattern I could draw. It was too close to land to be a plane. On closer look it had two more sides like a triangle with the same shape. The first night I ignored it but 2 nights later I went back at 10 30 it was in a different but close to spot and farther in the sky. Different pattern like more like a cross and flashing... Over a cemetery. No noise

I felt like i wanted to look at the sky, so I went outside to smoke. i saw what i thought was a very large white bird flying really high up thru some faint clouds. I thought about what kinda bird it could be and why would it be so high while i watched it. It moved in a straight line at a steady pace. As it cleared the clouds i saw that it was not a bird, but a white triangle with no noticable lights. it looked slightly blurry,solid white. I was still convinced it was probably a large bird like maybe a giant crane and that i just couldnt see its wings move and that why it looked triangular. I watched it travel westward until it did an amazing series of loops and zigzags at an incredible speed, then it took off northwest over the archer road area so fast that it virtually disappeared out of eye sight. it moved so fast it seemed like it left a tracer or trail of itself for a split second. I estimate that i watched it for about a minuite and a half before it zoomed off. i would still believe that it was a really big white bird but there is no way any bird could move that fast or make such servere turns and loops. Im not prone to making up stories. Im not addicted to drugs. Im not on medications that make me see things.Im pretty sceptical of these kinds of stories without some kind of picture or video. I do follow ufo sightings regularly but i dont recall a white triangle being a thing people see often. I appreciate any feedback into this that anyone sees fit.

Corydon, IN
Every night around 12:00am I notice lots of triangular shaped aircraft flying directly over Corydon. These aircraft are completely silent and look like they are military. I just think it's weird that they are silent and that I only see them at night as well as why there are so many passing. I've been told it could be the military looking for a lost aircraft, but why?

Verona, WI
My daughter, girlfriend and I were walking east up the hill in Badger Prairie Park in Verona, Wisconsin, on 3/29/16. It was a dark night with low cloud cover, and the soccer field was lit up on one side of the hill and the baseball diamond on Verona Road was lit up as well. It was approximately 8:20-25pm or so. The light from the baseball diamond lit up the hill behind us and cast our shadows on the hill. I suddenly noticed some dim movement up in the sky near the baseball diamond. It looked like a triangular outline of squarish shapes that moved together in unison. It was very difficult to make out and appeared translucent at times. It moved across and over where we were standing and changed shape somewhat as it moved, almost appearing to be wavy like the surface of water with sunlight on it. It looked like it was either reflecting or creating some sort of dim light, which we agreed was cream-colored. We considered what it could have been, ruled out migratory birds, but it possibly could have been a large bunch of balloons tied together in a line. The wind was blowing fairly strongly and whatever it was was moving in the direction of the wind. The shapes suddenly disappeared, but it could have vanished into clouds, it was very difficult to see. It is possible that what we saw could have been some reflection off the clouds by the bright lights that were shining on both fields. But what made it even more strange, after seeing that and us wondering what it could be, was that maybe 45 seconds later an enormous explosion occurred on Verona Avenue, lighting up the entire sky. It was obviously a transformer – sounded like one and lit up the sky like one, and I have seen two others – and it wiped the power out on both fields and much of the city (when we got back our power had been out as well). Fire and rescue responded, which we got to see from the height of the hill. I just looked up the Fire Department site, and they reported two incidents 3 minutes apart that are documented in the links below in their online reports. These would have been within the path of the flying thing, judging by the trajectory that it was going when we saw it. We could also see the sirens that responded to the “alarms” from where we were standing. http://www.veronafire.com/incidents/detail/334598 http://www.veronafire.com/incidents/detail/334599 In general, the way this shape moved and looked in the light, which was very unnatural looking and not like anything we had seen before, as well as the timing of the exploding transformer, my gf and I both thought that this merited us reporting it.

Auburn, NY
At 8:14 P.M., I went out to the mailbox to retrieve the mail. As I closed the mailbox,a bright pulsating orange light just above the tree line caught my eye. It was moving very slowly to the southeast with no sound. The object intensified in brightness and then faded somewhat as it traveled in a straight line to the east. It was clearly under intelligent control as it did not deviate from its flight path. I then ran inside and grabbed my binoculars and then ran back out the back door to my back yard. The object then disappeared and then reappeared about 20 seconds later. I raised my binoculars and focused them in on the object and it changed from a solid orange object to a triangular shaped object with three orange lights. There was an orange light on each corner forming a perfect triangle. The object crossed directly in front of me,stopped and then disappeared into thin air. It did not ascend or descend.It simply vanished,as if it had cloaked itself invisible. I witnessed it disappear while viewing it through the binoculars. I had the distinct feeling that the object was watching me, just as I was watching it. The weather was not a factor, as it was a crystal clear starry night. No other aircraft was spotted near this object when I saw it. http://heavens-above.com/passdetails.aspx?lat=42.9317&lng=-76.5661&loc=Auburn&alt=209&tz=EST&satid=25544&mjd=57477.0112034545&type=V Overflight of ISS.
