Parkville, MO
We saw 1 extremely fast moving object that we thought was a satellite, but it was moving about 4 or 5 times faster than normal. We then saw another singular object about 5 minites later. These objects looked like a solid, constant hazy ball of light. These lights resembled a hazy star, but at 10 times the size and brightness, several of the objects moved from south to north but trailed off to the east and did not follow the normal trajectory of a satellite trailing off to the horizon. About 5 minutes after that we saw pack of about 30 of the same objects moving together south to north following the same path of the previous 2. After the pack came by, another 10 to 15 came over. I honestly can say I have never seen something that has given me goose bumps like this before. Please call me to follow up and for a more in depth report.

Farmington, MO
On the date of May 12th, 2018, at approximately 8:45pm in Farmington, Missouri, I was standing outside in my yard with my son and family using a star gazing phone app to find stars and planets. At this time myself and 3 others noticed a huge flash of white lite light up the sky. The flash was like an explosion of white light as though a star had exploded. That’s when a craft that looked like a small star shot off from the flash at a speed and height I have never seen an aircraft travel. The speed was almost 100 times that of a normal passenger plane and the height in the sky it was at was almost in orbit. If it wasn’t for the bright explosion of white light I would have mistaken the craft for a satellite. The craft travelled north east at an astonishing speed and disappeared within seconds. I spoke to my friend about this who is has an impressive air force and civil aircraft background and he could not think of any known aircraft capeable of such performance and! was very interested. I’m not sure if this was an experimental craft or from another world but it was very impressive.

Gloucester, MA
I was driving home to Gloucester, MA from Salem, MA, tonight, May 8th, about 8:15 pm on route 128 (highway). As I got to about exit 15, I noticed a very bright round object on my left far ahead, above the tree line. It was larger than a star and extremely bright and perfectly round. As I got closer and crossed the bridge into Gloucester, I saw that it was hovering over the Annisquam Rover and moved like a helicopter but was pulsing different colors and was staying fairly stationary, but not completely still. It was also totally silent. As I went around the rotary and headed to my neighborhood, I could still glimpse it when there was an opening in the trees and houses. Once I got to Wheeler St, it was closer and brighter, and I saw other cars slow down to look at it. You could make out colors that it was 'pulsing' - red, green, purple, yellow - but not in that order. I pulled over and watched it for a full minute and then rushed home to tell my kids about it. H! owever, when I pulled into my driveway, there was ANOTHER similar sphere above the Mill River. It too was pulsing colors, so I called my daughters out and we all watched it for a good 10 minutes with binoculars. It was perfectly round like the other one, but a bit further off and higher in the sky. It was harder to see what colors this one was with the naked eye, but we could see color sequences when we watched it thru the binoculars. I tried taking photos, but it was too far away for my phone to really catch it. It pulsed just like the other one I had seen on the way home. My younger daughter, age 13, said it looks like "a clear ball filled with multicolored Christmas lights going off in it really fast". We went in for dinner eventually, and 30 minutes later it was gone.

Bethel Springs, TN
It was 21:40, and when I finished my outside work for the day exhausted I went to bed when i had the feeling i was forgetting something (kind of like when I forget to turn the gas off on the stove - that is how I felt) I immediately assumed that forgot to lock the animals up. i was worried that some varmint was attacking the chickens and other fowl (as times before when i have forgotten) I grabbed my boot without lacing them grabbed a flashlight of the kitchen table ran out of the house(21:44) down the stairs toward the animal enclosures pausing briefly,listening carefully for the crowing and yelping, ready to run back in case of my fears being true, to get a weapon. when to my right I saw a huge circle in the western sky traveling from north to south in an arc type pattern the sphere was bright bright orange ( also when I first spotted it it appeared to have a single red light in the middle the red light seemed to move on the craft from the middle to the top then the light was no longer visible) the object made no sound heard no engine the whole place was quiet nothing made a sound-scary silence I have never seen any thing like this, nothing i have ever seen flying has ever been this bright this big and traveling this fast. I was stunned I went back inside right away (after I checked the locks on the doors which i did forget to lock) i was terrfied honesty at what saw. i could send a map of where i was where i was standing where it was at ect but i am only availible by mail (ill be lucky if my email accepts mail because it is governed by the computers at the library and i dont have a phone i hope this report is useful please contact me for any additional information you might need

Indianapolis, IN
Working on the Campus of IUPUI in Indianapolis, Indiana, on the 4th floor of the BS building looking directly West. There is always a considerable amount of airplane traffic as the Indianapolis Airport is SW of this location. That day I counted nine aircraft that where visible due to the atmospheric change that causes water vapor contrails. As I counted two aircraft appear to be headed toward each other at different altitudes. I thought it would be interesting to record a video. In the video you see me raise my Iphone clearly seeing the bell tower in the center of campus as I point the phone to the sky you see the reflection of the office window glass and just after that I zoom in on the two jets (at the 7-8 sec mark) you see the UFO cross the path below the jets from right to left at a tremendous rate of speed. At the 9 sec mark, you see similar object cross the same path at a higher altitude. (it appears smaller) I never saw the objects until I watched and slowed down the video. The objects appears oval and potentially reflective to the sunny day. The motions where great speed from right to left. In watching the video I was shocked as I didn't see the object when I first created the video. I would have never had seen them if it wasn't for the fact I wanted to see how close the two jets were getting. I lost sight as the objects went out of range.

My Husband and I had went into the backyard and my Husband asked me to look at an object in the sky. I saw a green sphere racing across the sky. Looking south the object was moving right to left approximately 40 degrees from flat plane. Object appeared about a ten percent the size of the full moon. Bright green sphere traveled across the sky with no change in altitude. We both followed it out of sight.

NW Las Vegas, NV
This sighting occurred on 4/30/2018, approximately 2230 hrs., in North West Las Vegas, Nevada. I was looking out my window at the sky and surrounding hills. I saw what I thought might be an airplane, high up; maybe 200 feet. It was solid red in color. It moved toward my house, in an eastward direction. It then stopped in the air and stayed there for approximately 45 seconds. It then seemed to move away toward the sky and the image evaporated or disappeared skyward. On July 4th of 2017 at lower elevation, a red orb appeared about 150 feet from our home...stayed stationary, then flashed brighter two or three times and then took off over the top of the hills in the distance.

Driving down 84 West towards Flatbush Ave exit. I spotted 3 floating orbs in almost a triangular formation. They were too high to be drones. They had an orangeish glow similar like that of a planet. I ruled out planets because the sky was cloudy. The orb at the highest point was moving slow, but erratic, while they other 2 seemed to hover in place.

Arlington, WA
While monitoring my security cameras @ 1:21am 4/27/18, I noticed a strange orb of light moving strangely above the tree line looking east above Arlington, Wa. I went out to the driveway and looked for it, but did not see it. I went back and reviewed the video footage and the orb of light was in the exact area I was looking at. Evidently, the IR night vision of the camera was picking up an infra red light source. Just after I turned to come back inside, the light went straight up out of frame of the camera. The light moved up, down, and sideways like a hobby drone. It appeared to move over a large area and would have been hard to fly without visible lighting on it. It was in view for about 2 minutes.

Wasn't visable to naked eye, I picked it up with my camera it was a purple light that moved a way from me and then I was taking a video of our pool because the pool light was changing color and I seemed as if there was something coming out of the water fall, like a t st flopping I have been seeing strange shapes in the carpet like a snake frog squid and they are shaped the same way as the craft, I seen green lghts when my blanket would n 've and was in the shape of a snake (the cotton filing) and when I look a pcture there would t be a translucent image of a snake it has I also seen out of my bedroom window on the opposite side f the house semi lighted sky and the dark clouds stopped and saw a spo light circle of green with my naked a an I.couldn't get a video h cause my phone wouldnt charge. My skin also stings where ever they may be or touched the shape are imprinted when in contact.

Tonight, 4/23/2018 at approximately 10pm I was browsing on my computer when my dogs started to bark. I opened the slider to let them outside, then noticed a strange cluster of lights in the sky, moving very slowly from northeast to southwest. It appeared to be a singular object with multiple lights in a tight round cluster. The lights were multicolored, bright blue, deep red, gold/orange/yellow and white, very vibrant and rapid twinkling with a bright intense pulse or flash of one of the red colored lights. As I watched for about 5-10 seconds, it moved slowly to the south and the tree tops began to block my view. I called for my husband to come see but when we both looked back it had moved out of sight. I have never seen an object like that before. This was about 4 times the size and brightness of the largest star I’ve seen in the night sky. I would guess its altitude to be about 2000-3000 feet, very difficult to tell. It wasn’t low to the ground like the aircraft we typically see around here and it didn’t appear to be as high as the air traffic we see from SeaTac. I don’t know what it was.

I’m a night owl. I go to bed at about 5 am every morning. I spend a lot of time outside at night looking at the stars. There was one really bright star that I looked at a good amount that night and was wondering what it was called, or if it was a planet. At about 6 am, my dog demanded to go out and the sun was just starting to come up. It was light enough out that only the very brightest stars were still visible. As I’m looking at that one bright star I had been staring at all night, I noticed that there was a second one over to the right of it that wasn’t there before. While I’m watching this second really bright star and wondering where it came from, it started to look like it was moving, but it didn’t have any blinking red lights on it like an airplane does. Then it suddenly got a lot brighter and just disappeared. Have you ever seen an incandescent light bulb when it has a power surge? How it gets really bright for a second right before it burns out? It was like that, but just an orb of light. I have no idea how large it was. It looked just like a bright star. It could have been something large very far away or something smaller that was much closer. When it vanished it didn't shoot across the sky or move noticeably, it was just gone. It kind of just winked out after it pulsed. It was no shooting star (which I did also see that night) and I live right outside an air base, so I’m used to planes flying overhead literally all the time and it was not that either. It was still and looked just like a star until it moved a little, pulsed brightly, and was gone. I am a former intelligence analyst for the Drug Enforcement Administration. I have spent many years working in law enforcement and was born and raised in the military. I have never before seen any sort of UFO. Possible Iridium satellite "flare? PD

I have 5 photos of three unexplained single separate small lights in my yard that faces woods. There was alot of unexplained, and never seen before, light, and an unusually long sunset. I walked my dog an hour later after sundown and saw a round silent yellow orb about 7 feet wide glide gracefully and somewhat slowly across the distance near the woods where the small lights were earlier. I have never in my long life seen anything like it.

I was on a flight from Southampton to Amsterdam. We had flown over the Millenium Dome and was somewhere between that point and a sea wind farm, I can't be too specific as we were high up and the last point of recall was the Dome. I recall noting how tiny planes were landing into London City - inches. I also recalled an unusual shadowing on buildings when there were no clouds in the sky. I was looking out of my window thinking about the clouds and wondering about different levels when I saw a bronze sphere which was, I can only assume, static. It was approximately ten feet away - I could only guage from the wing - but was large enough that it could not be missed. I do not know if anyone else saw this - but I have no doubts that the pilots would have seen it. I have never seen anything like it before. I saw it, I think it would be approximately ten feet if not more in diameter. The sky was clear - I can only think it was static as I had a good view as our plane flew past it. Surely if it was moving it would have been blurred?

An orb changing colors between yellow, red, and orange was floating up and down above Catawba Mountain for several minutes. In the last minute several arms that looked like electrical pulses projected from the orb. In this last minute, all of the dogs around began barking, several birds began chirping, and a few car alarms went off, and then the light vanished.

At about 21:00 on 04/17/18, my fiance and I were walking our dogs near Lake Parker in Lakeland when I noticed what looked like an orange orb stationary in the sky. The craft seemed to be hovering above the CD McIntosh, Jr., Power Plant from my perspective. I stood and watched it for a few minutes and pointed it out to my fiance to confirm I wasn’t seeing things. She confirmed that she could see it to and that it was not moving. After watching it for a couple minutes, the glowing orange orb emitted a bright white light (resembling a spotlight from a distance) for approximately ten to fifteen seconds, before changing back to an orange amber glow. My fiance and I brought our dogs into our house and I went to the window to keep watching it. By the time I got to the window, the object was travelling west at what looked like the speed of a commercial airplane. No blinking lights on wings or anything that would identify the object as an airplane or helicopter could be seen on the object.

Flying from BWI to FLL. On downwind for 10L, aboard Spirit flight 301. I was sitting at a window seat just enjoying as always (I fly a lot) and I noticed something off of our left wing. First thought it was a drone. This "thing" was about 20 feet off the wing. There was some forward motion to it because we didn't pass it quickly. It was a small sphere with two smaller "things" next to it. Then it just went away, not disappeared but just went away.

Noticed two orbs, at a very high altitude, rotating vertically around each other. Seem to be metallic. Unfortunately, the rotation stopped by the time I thought to start recording. Continued to hover in a vertical formation between the two objects. Unsure if connected or two separate objects. Hovered for a very long time. Eventually disappeared. Unsure what I saw, maybe weather balloon. Just thought the rotation of the two objects and then the objects staying in a vertical orientation for so long seemed odd.

Walton, NY
Saw 3 red/orange glowing objects moving south to north. The first two stopped and then a 3rd one came up behind them. They looked like fire but there was no flickering like fire. Just a steady, bright orange/red light. There was a plane flying from west to east that was in the vicinity at the same time. I'm 50 years old and have never seen any thing like this. They were moving fairly quickly and were not planes, lanterns or balloons. They were less than 5 miles away and did not make a sound. I could only hear the aforementioned airplane and nothing else. Can't explain it.

Palm Springs, FL
The craft was not far from Mara Largo and the Palm Beach International Airport here in Palm Beach County and was flying away from the estate, but and not from it. These craft are regularly seen in this area periodically and at times have been observed using strange devices in the Palm Beach County area. In one instance when one of this type of craft were seen in 1996, the craft was flying at about 200 feet and as it got closer to where I was sitting across from a large wooded area in a park the craft released some form of electrical explosive device that exploded near the ground in the woods approx. 75 yards from where I was sitting. Whatever kind of weapon it was it exploded into a perfect dome of bluish white light about 50 feet in height. It was unbelievable, and without my military training, I would have been quite scared, I am sure.
