Windham, NH
Driving to the store, I looked out my driver side window to see an odd object with white lights flying very fast over the building. By the time I had parked the original object had disappeared and another black object began flying from the other direction toward me and the others in my car. The object flew straight over us making an almost silent hum. It then turned almost how a fighter jet would bank and quickly disappeared out of sight. When I got home I further inspected the sky from my backyard and could make out small little lights darting across the sky to a much bigger light too bright to be a star.

Aurora, CO
The day was a typical post blizzard, beautiful clear, Colorado day. I had just pulled into the driveway of my parents' home to visit. I heard the engines of fighter jets above which drew my attention to the sky. Now jets overhead is a daily occurrence with Buckley Air Force Base minutes away. I have become a custom to seeing things in the sky having grown up in Aurora, by the AFB. At the age of 42, I have come to relize that as young teenager along with a neighbor friend, we witnessed a black triangle almost some 30 years ago. I digress, back to the recent sighting. As I was looking for the jets, I noticed a formation of about 5 to 7 white triangles moving south to north over the AFB, but at very high altitude. To me it did not seem as though the jets were after these objects, but obviously I do not know that for sure. I observed these triangles for about 20 to 30 seconds as they moved across the sky in formation. In my mind, I can rule out geese or seagulls as, these objects moved in a tight formation. One triangle that was on the left of the formation did break from the rest, drop to the rear only to rejoin the formation again on the right side. It was not long after that I lost sight of the objects. Again, I know what birds in flock look like and this was not that. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Identified[A34] De Novy-Chevrieres, Champagne-Ardenne · France
Le 29 mars 2017 à 7h19 un automobiliste sur la A34 en direction de Charleville-Mezières observe un phénomène particulier dans le ciel dégagé. Le témoin est surpris par un point lumineux, puis quelques temps après, il observe une forme noire qui pourrait correspondre à un avion. L'objet parait statique et semble déverser une matière, qui pourrait être un mélange de fumée et d'eau. Le témoin arrive sous l'engin observé et fait des photos et une vidéo. Il constate alors une forme triangulaire et deux grandes ailes. Une lumière rouge est présente au centre de l'objet, qui finit par disparaitre de la vue du témoin. L'objet observé a été identifié comme étant un A380 observé dans des conditions particulières (Flight Number : SQ336 -SQ336 9V-SKF-Call Sign : SIA336-Airbus A380-841-De Singapour à CDG) : voir le compte-rendu d'enquête joint. L’étrangeté engendrée par la stabilité ou faible vitesse du PAN (au moins sur une partie de l’observation) résulte d’un effet pivot : comme le témoin et l’avion évoluent dans des directions à composantes contraires, l’axe de visée entre le témoin et le PAN tend à pivoter au voisinage d’un point fixe où le témoin, qui ne peut apprécier l’évolution de distance, croit voir quasi-stationné le PAN. Le témoin a pensé que de la matière se déversait du PAN alors qu'en réalité il s’agissait des trainées de condensation intermittentes car l’avion évoluait en altitude et rencontrait des conditions variables de formation de trainées. Nous vous invitons à découvrir les vidéos de trainées d'un A380 en suivant les liens internet mis en page 18 du compte-rendu d'enquête. Une autre étrangeté résultait des brillances variables en intensité et couleur du PAN. L’avion réfléchit vers le témoin l’éclairement du soleil (qui lui n’est pas visible du témoin). Ce reflet est variable voire intermittent en fonction de l’évolution géométrique (c’est telle ou telle partie de l’avion qui fait le reflet). Comme l’avion descend, le soleil vu de l’avion se rapproche de l’horizon et devient rougeâtre (couché de soleil rapide vu de l’avion) et le reflet sur l’avion se colore aussi. Tous ces phénomènes de reflet ont pu être reconstitués par simulation. En conséquence le GEIPAN classe le cas en A : observation d’un avion de ligne. [GEIPAN classification A — Avion de ligne]

Three orbs that appeared to outline a craft in stealth mode. My best guess at distance from the ground would be 40 to 50 feet. Two of the orbs would change color occaisionally whilst the third remained the same color.

I called for my husband to see if he could tell what that was. When he came out he look at the sky and said it’s a helicopter, but then I notice the flight patter change a little it, I told him are you sure? He took another look and said I am not sure. We watch these light for what seemed like hours, then it disappeared. I went to look it up later and all I found was a still photo taken in January of 2016 that shows 3 lights, but this one in March there was only one.

Reseda, CA
I received a phone call from my Nephew at approximately 10:00 PM Friday March 25, 2016, telling me to look low in the southwest sky of Los Angeles. Something caught his wife’s eye and she stated that those look like funny lights coming from planes. Her husband stated that those are not planes. At that time there were three reddish orange lights in a triangular pattern. By the time I got outside to see for myself one had disappeared. I viewed myself as the last two disappeared. They appeared to be hovering and not crossing the horizon. As I watched they appeared to be pulsating irregularly. My nephew is a caregiver, his wife a book keeper, and I'm a Network Administrator.

Milwaukie, OR
I was looking up at the stars while walking the dog. I saw the object flying, it looked like it was descending quickly and then stopped and hovered. The whole thing was red and did not have any blinking light like an airplane. I stopped to watch it and then noticed that there were two orange ones, that were either smaller, or further away. From my perspective, it looked like a upside down triangle form.

Small silent black triangle below clouds (5000ft-10000ft) traveling as fast as a jet from west to east only visible directly overhead to maybe 15-30 degree from straight up. No changes in velocity or direction. 2 more exactly the same 15-20 mins. apart. Sunny but spotty fluffy clouds.

Jackson, KY
I went outside to lay on the pavement and look at the clouds and a figure caught my eye in the distance, it was very high up, higher than where planes or birds fly so I ruled them out. I watched the figure for around two minutes then ran back in to grab my phone and record what I believe to be an UFO, once back outside it continued for a minute before disappearing behind my house. Before disappearing, it would go left and right then stop for a few seconds only to start back. Since neither birds or airplanes stop in the middle of flight, it has to be an UFO. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

At first I thought they were lights from below shinning up for attention until it moved past the clouds and the lights didn't shine any higher they just kept moving toward the Sandia mountains. I saw it for about three seconds. I've seen plains fly higher than this.

We spoke via telephone with the witness, who sounded to us to be quite sincere and sober-minded. He is going to submit a much more detailed report, as will at least one of his family members. One family member took photos, and has pledged to send them to NUFORC so we can post them. PD

The lights were vertical then flip sideways and faded out. When it started to turn sideways another orb came into few for a few seconds before it faded as well.

I called my husband and son, and they were as surprised as I… the light seemed like a shooting star, we could see about two minutes until it disappeared, then I went out to see the moon, and try to see some other phenomenon and and take some pictures.. at first sight we saw nothing, but our surprise was when we saw the images on the PC… It appears to be a UFO near the moon!!!!! Take lots of pictures during full moon days, the result was incredible! If you want to know if there ET here, just watching the skies, and take pictures...and you will see what is there!!!!

Albany, OR
We were going on the highway north towards Salem. I'm pretty sure it was around Albany, we saw a bright white light. As we got closer we noticed it was hovering and not moving. We passed the light and it was so close we could see intricate detail like lines on the surface. It was extremely high tech and had three lights on each point. After we passed it, we watched it from behind and it starting moving across the highway behind us, and had a bright white light towards our direction. After a few minutes it disappeared. I'm hoping someone else saw this and caught a video because my phone memory was full, and I didn't have enough time to get one

Lincoln, NE
I was sitting outside at the patio table with my dog sitting next to me. The night was clear, and the stars where bright. I looked down at my dog, her ears were perked up,and she was focused on something in the sky off to the south. Very strange to see her follow what ever it was until she was looking straight up. This caught my attention because it's strange for Dogs, or cats to follow flying objects like airplanes, and helicopters. I followed my dogs gaze, and directly over me I saw a series of dim lights that clearly defined a huge Triangle, and it was moving North very quietly and very fast. There were no red or green identifiers or strobes. The lights did not appear to be on the outside of the object, but more like the dim light you would expect coming from windows. My sense was that its altitude was in the hundreds not the thousands because there was a halo effect around the lights due to the moist air. The Object was perfectly silent. From the time I noticed my dogs ears perk up to the time it vanished off to the north...6 seconds at the most. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

The lights on this vehicle were observed and seen when it turned toward left oblique. The colors were as white, red and blue, and the second craft disappeared quickly, moving toward the western horizon.

Mesa, AZ
While attending a LDS/Mormon Easter Pageant last Friday evening at the Mesa Temple in Mesa, AZ... approximately 20mins after 8pm, while there was a break in the play. Just for a second in relaxing while I was looking up to the stars, noticing a half-faced moon (facing south-west) I noticed during the event/show there were airplane learjets flying from south to north-western pattern which would fly directly over my head say every 50 secs. This was a bother at times when I'm trying to enjoy the show as these jets were only a few hundred feet above me. So as I looked up one time I noticed a triangular shaped craft as I took aim with my eyes for a closer examination. I noticed there was at least 2 circular shapes within this triangle... it was not lit up internally but the shape of this was illuminated from the street lights (Main street which was to my right) and the surrounding lights. This shape was say 40 to 50 feet above me it seemed like and was taking a! northern flight path. It seemed to be the speed of like a quad-copter or drone which my first thought was that someone probably is currently flying a drone because it would make a great camera/video of the event that night but after I was examining this object as it hovered slowly at the same altitude there were several brief moments in the play/show where there were no sounds so I had a good listen to the surrounding area while it was flying overhead and I noticed no sound coming from this craft. After further thought I ruled out it was any quad copter/drone because something that size would be quite loud enough for me and others to hear it's props/engine. I was asked by my family later when I told them what I saw why I didn't catch their attention when I saw it first but this whole experience took maybe 20-25 secs was all so I was recording this experience and taking in all of my senses in to determine what it was exactly. Besides, if I would have told them about it and to look up, etc... I would have missed more of the details! of what I saw. In another detail of this craft I was prompted to remember the framing of this triangle/object I saw as it had thick bars outlining this triangle... almost thinking it was from an Erector set, haha, but again I saw no evidence of it being owned by people or could be bought in any Hobby store... as there were no sounds coming from it when all around me was quiet for a few seconds. I following watching this object and even cupping my forehead and face to block other lights around me and it flew a northern path until I couldn't see it anymore as it flew into the darkness. So it either flew at a higher altitude or flew away so far that the current surrounding lights that I was seeing it could not lite it up anymore. This experience prompted me to submit this post as I couldn't find any other UFO sighting/records around the area/valley with this same experience and description. Thank you for your attention.

Canton, MI
While I was getting reading for work in the morning (6:15ish), it was still very dark outside, I noticed an unordinary light pattern outside of my bedroom window. I looked outside and noticed that the light was coming from a triangular shaped object that was hovering in the sky. It appeared to be about 50 feet above the roof of a home about a block away. It was still, not moving at all, for the first 30 seconds or so that I saw it, and then it started to slowly float across the sky. The object was not making any sound at all but it did have bright white/yellow lights around the object. I quickly woke up my husband so that he could see this thing, and he also thought it was strange. We both saw the object slowly float through the sky and I followed it as much as I could before I could not see it anymore. I also noticed there was a regular airplane further up in the sky at the same time which seemed to be traveling normally across the sky. We live by an airport so I am used to seeing normal planes fly around our home. But this object was flying way closer to the ground than an ordinary plane would, it made no sound whatsoever, and it was just standing still for a while before moving slowly away-which is not typical airplane behavior. There were two vehicles that were driving down my street at the same time of the sighting and I am certain they had to see this object too-I was hoping to find a sighting report here to confirm that we are not crazy. :) Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Castro Valley, CA
On Mar. 17, 2016, 22:40 hrs., I observed an object crossing over hwy 580 E near Castro Valley, Ca. This object was flying at the normal speed, relative to an average small airplane or a helicopter, until its appearance above the hwy 580 E and hovered, then moved slowly across the road and went over the Eden Canyon Hills toward the opposite side of the road from north toward south side. The object turned side way toward the down side of the hill and I noticed this object was a black triangular shape craft about the same size or bigger than a commercial airliner or a military craft KC 130. This object had a large circular red light in the center with a strobe white light on one corner, and blinking red and blue lights on the different corners. This sighting was reported to Castro Valley Highway Patrol, and local 911 Emergency Department.

There were 3 reddish-orange lights in triangular formation that just hovered there, silently. The size of the object was slightly larger than the size of a football field.

Santa Fe, NM
Three glowing red lights in a triangle shape flew low over the highway 599 relief route toward the Santa Fe Ski Area. Stopped to hover over highway 285 and then continued moving toward the mountain. Made no sound but at one point left a chem trail of some sort. Smooth moving and swift but not too large - estimate around the size of a 100 foot yacht but a chevron shape.
