My boyfriend and I were watching the meteor shower and throughout the night, I kept seeing a flash of light at the corner of my vision, so I thought I had an issue with my eye or something. At one point when I was facing in the exact direction of the light, I clearly seen a neon green flash of light and I asked my boyfriend if he had seen it and he did. It was funny too because he also told me had kept seeing it at the corner of his eye as well and he thought it was something messed up with his vision/eye as well. So, after we both realized this flash of light was legitmate, we both sat and stared in the direction of the light. There was a wide tornado-shaped cloud above the mountain range in the distance but we had a clear view of this phenomenon. The cloud kept lighting up neon green and at some points it would blink very fast and at other times it would go bright gradually and then dim down slowly. Also, there was a strange humming or buzzing noise accompanying this incident. It was very strange....we also started to hear coyotes crying/howling in the distance so we ended up leaving the spot we were at. After hearing the coyotes, the light also went away. It freaked us out pretty bad! Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Beaverton, OR
I went outside to smoke it was quiet no sounds. I noticed a flashing light that would change color. Blue, red, Amber, white. Then pulse those colors. It was hovering I would guess couple thousand feet up difficult to tell it seemed close enough to film. I have several video clips of it and pictures. I have no idea what it was. I have seen something similar in March of this year. The best description would be it looked like a police car with all the lights on. It moved very slowly as to mistake it for a star or perhaps camouflage to look like a star. It was not a star. The pulsing and flashing was constant. Changing colors. I have high powered binoculars that I used to see it closer. It hurt my eyes to focus very bright lights changing colors fast. No semetirical shape I was able to see due to strong lights. I have no clue what it was but I hope others have seen it as well. NUFORC Not: Sirius?? PD

Ocala, FL
My husband and I were pulling out of our driveway and saw a light in the sky just above the trees. as we started to travel towards the light, we saw 3 more. There is a hill on our road and by the time we crested the hill, there were more than ten lights almost in a multiple connected triangle formation. I would say that there were more than 10 of them and they were a yellowish orange color with a haze around them. They almost seemed to hover and slowly drift. In the time that it took to travel 2 blocks, they disappeared 2 at a time. I tried to get pictures and/or video with my cell phone but every time that I would get the camera open and focused, my screen would go black and back to my main screen. I called my mom who was not home because she had received a call from my sister and had gone to see the lights herself. All of us in different locations saw the same thing, my sister got pictures and video.

Sebring, FL
I looked up at the stars because they were supposed to be a meteor shower tonight. I saw two stars moving apart. One was a star the other was not as I looked at it I thought it was just an airplane, but then as I was watching it I thought differently. It started moving erratic speeding up, slowing down, moving to the left then moving to the right but heading in the same direction, north. Was very far away, so I couldn't tell the shape. The color of the light was white very similar to a star, It was below the trees after about three minutes. I know what I saw and it was not an airplane or a satellite.

Palm Coast, FL
I was in my living room when something caught my eye to my right. I looked out my windows to my right and up in the sky I saw bright lights. 2 bright white lights about the size of headlights on a car but very close together and in between was just white light. I was unable to make out anything that the lights were coming from because of the lights. The lights were stationary, and then began to move to the right ever so slightly. So slightly that they didn't appear to be moving. Then they stopped. Then started moving again. At this point I jumped up and ran to my back door which is 2 feet from my sofa so it didn't take me long to get outside. Once outside the lights were gone. Nothing was there.

I recorded it for about three minutes and thirty eight seconds. It moved like no other craft that I've seen before. It made no sound and it was like turning off a light when it was gone.

We were driving home when we saw an orb of light hovering over the north eastern sky that looked like the moon behind the clouds. While this is happening, the radio gets real staticy (older radio so wouldbt put my money on that one). We looked again after a break in the trees and we see a heli flying to it and the object flew away straight out of the atmosphere leaving a trail like a comet behind it the heli then hovered where we sighted it for over two hours but the strange orb of light never returned. It was an whitish color at first but then as it sped off fleeing the heli, it was a vibrant orange. We thought it was a comet because of the tail on it, but then both agreed it had no tail but a minute ago while it was stationary. And it had this strange aura to it like the moon has thats why we first thought it was the moon. It was almost like exactly what has been depicted as a "warp drive" with the streatching trail of light. Crazy :) and I wouldnt even say it chased the ufo, the ufo left it in tge dust...like the heli didnt even gain on it the ufo was just gone!

Bellefontaine, OH
Driving west on SR 47 I saw a single, silent flying object traveling east @ 25-35kts, 500-800 ft AGL directly against a 10kt headwind with steady red lights along the right side and white lights along the left. Darkness & zero illumination prevented identification of a shape. I don't this was an aircraft because it was silent and red position lights are on the left wing of an conventional aircraft not the right. It was not a balloon or kite because it made 25 kts into the wind so it had to be powered. Witness provides no contact information. PD

Cedar Park, TX
Walking the dog and I hear a whirring sound above. Looked up and saw three distinct lights close to each other moving at normal aircraft speed 2 green lights and 1 red light. The green lights were flashing in unison. The object stopped for about 5-10 seconds (no wobbling observed) the proceeded at a 120 deg direction from where it was. No turning was observed. This is when I paid attention cause even a helicopter would've shown some sort of a turning movement. Then it stopped again. and started going down in a vertical steady movement until I was behind the trees and I could not see it. A few minutes later (I am now at a different location since I was walking the dog) I looked back to see the object in the air again. Same green lights flashing and a steady red light. I took a quick (read bad) video of it with my cell phone. Then it went down again until it disappeared behind the trees again. This is what it looked like O O the two light on top flashing green O This single light was steady red. Did not see any structure between the lights as it was dark but the lights did not vary distance between each other. Like they were connected somehow.

Carleton Place (Canada), ON · Canada
Around 16:20 in the afternoon, I was sitting in the passenger seat of my Mom's car, driving back home on McNeely Ave. after shopping. Looking out towards the East (Towards Ottawa), I noticed a bright orange light. At first I didn't think much of it, because a plane was also flying very close by this light as well. As we continued our drive along the highway, I kept watching this object, and soon relized it wasn't moving. It stayed perfectly still in that same location. After a couple minutes had passed, it suddenly changed colour to an extremely bright white light, which seemed to grow even more intense as the seconds past. Then, as if it had never even been there, it was gone. Didn't move in any direction, just vanished. It's hard to say exactly how far out towards the East it was, but my best guess would be over the country farm areas between Carleton Place & Ottawa. So perhaps roughly 10 minutes or so outside of town. It should also be noted, that roughly this far outside of town, in the South-East direction, is a military base that "no one is suppose to know about", but everyone does. Could it have been something from there? Possibly. Do I think that's what it was? Absolutely not. Over the years, I have seen many bright objects such as this, over roughly the same area. But it has always been late at night, on my way home from Ottawa. And they almost always, disappear as if they weren't there.

El Paso, TX
My experience was about missing time when I was living in El Paso, TX. On December 3, 2014 I was sleeping and I woke up like other nights. I saw the clock that is on my table near me and I saw that the time was 1:11am. This surprised me a bit and decided to get up to go to the bathroom. I’m quite sure (because I was awake) I was in the bathroom two minutes. When I return to bed, I look at the clock and it was 2:43am. I missed 1 hour 32 minutes. I know I will not remain asleep in the bathroon because I remember everything I did. This is very disturbing to me because I find no explanation. Sometimes I can not sleep thinking abóut this and trying to find what happened to me. About seven years ago, I was living in Fort Worth, TX, and I had an episode of sleep paralysis. That morning, when I woke up I could not move. With great effort I could look at my husband who slept beside me. I tried to scream to wake him and could not. I tried to calm down, closed my eyes tightly and when opened I could already move. Another episode I think was a sleep paralysis as well happened to me about five or six years ago (in Fort Worth, TX) When I woke up this morning, my bed sheets were clenched as if some unknown force were grabbing the covers and pulling them down. In this three experiences, I do not remember seeing anything unusual in the room, like lights, shadows, etc.

Arlington, TX
I steped outside and the sky for 2am in arlington looked as though their was an orange glow in the clouds passing over behind a cold front and it looked as if the clouds werent moving too fast and it was like something hiding beneath the clouds like a cloak and saw tiny streaks of light darting around like a laser pointer and too fast I believe for an earthly vehicle and too tiny to be lights on a jet plane from dfw and dfw airport is just up 360 N. I believe it could of been a ufo. The incident didn't last but maybe 45 minutes. Kinda set my neck hairs on their staight ends.

Looking west towards Phoenix, five or six bright lights were in a straight line, and then quickly formed into a triangle.

I looked at the sky and saw what looked like a small trapped amount of rainbow in a cloud. I thought it was pretty, or visually appealing, and as I drove I could tell I was seeing slightly less and less of it. At its clearest definition, it looked like it was caused by the sun shining directly into a funnel-like shape in the cloud, I thought it was probably just some natural phenomena of the sun and color spectrum and shape of the cloud/moisture in it. Totally explainable but just beyond my understanding or comprehension of science/nature/or physics. Suddenly, as I pulled into a straight section of the highway, the colorful cloud disappeared and at a different location in the sky what looks to be about 4 feet upwards from the horizon, at a distance of roughly (going off of odometer distance at the time from Fox Creek 40-60 km, rough estimate I know, sorry). Anyways, it just appeared at this location ahead of me, with a short white tail much like a comets, but it was too short, it didn't look like any jet stream/tail that I have ever noticed before, and the object appeared to be falling at a rapid speed. I concluded it must have been a comet, headed somewhat towards my direction and that was why the tail appeared short, must have been due to my perspective/angle to the object. I had trouble making out the shape of it, but there was definitely some sort of head of the “comet-like object” that had sharp edges that stood out against the tail in the background of it. The next second, I look up, it just stopped its rapid descent and sat in the skyline, radiating a very small pink light in the distance ahead of me, about 1 foot up from the horizon from my current position, driving rapidly towards it at 100 km/hour. I am going back and forth between driving safely (as it's icy winter conditions) and watching this happen on the horizon, and it is easy for me to continue looking at the exact spot in the sky because i am driving in a straight line and there are structures in the distance in which to reference it by. When I next look up, there is a very short horizontal line appearing to the bottom right of the pink dot in the sky, that was NOT there a moment ago, and in the time span I watch it move (speaking from my driving perspective) what appears about a inch across the sky, then the next second I look up, both the pink dot and short horizontal white dash across the sky have vanished. I don't think I'm crazy, I have no history of hallucinating or psychological disorders, or even making up stories, though I do believe in the possibility of other life somewhere in the universe, but I don't believe I was desiring there to be so much that I made it up in my sub-conscious for whatever reason, at first I really was just scared that it was a comet or asteroid, and was actually going to hit the earth, until it stopped, and sat there, glowing pink. I do a lot of troubleshooting and observation due to my job, so it is easy for me to observe a process without involving any bias or personal feelings into it. And it was broad day light, I had just been driving for an hour on my way to work, after a good night's rest and a normal breakfast. I don't know what I saw, but there is no part of what I saw that resembled a plane, jet, or helicopter. We have changed the time above, to reflect a daytime sighting. PD

Deming, NM
My girlfriend and I were on I-10 west. For several minutes before saying anything (I was reading out loud, oblivious) she kept her eye on a craft she saw over a mountain to the south of us. This was about five to ten miles east of Deming. She pointed it out "this thing isn't moving". The craft was large, black with a shape we could not define. Hot air balloon? Definitely not. Blimp? Nope. Helicopter? Maybe. If it was a very, very, very large helicopter remaining stationary for an incredible length of time. We watched this thing closely. It was at least two hundred feet above the peak of the mountain but we could not discern how far south (how far away from us) it was. We were certain, though, that it wasn't moving. Not up nor down and if it was moving away it was doing so at an amazingly slow pace. We passed the mountain to see that it was avidly quite far from the mountain and closer to the town of Deming. We exited a few miles up and attempted to head south in the town to get a closer look. At this point the sun was going down quickly. It wasn't until then my girlfriend claimed see some light flashing on the craft every so often, something we hadn't witnessed from the craft even though airplanes nearby were lit up for a long time before this. Now it finally appeared to be moving further south of Deming at an extremely slow pace. We decided to return to I-10 and were able to keep our eyes on it until we drove too far away in the darkness for any further visibility. I will add that at certain points we were witnessing what appeared to be two pieces of the craft sort of pulling slightly apart and coming back together. I rationalized that if it was a large military chopper it could've been shifting position and we were seeing it angle the propellers toward then away from us. If I'm being totally honest though it looked much stranger than that. I also felt as though I was seeing an aura or field of sorts around it, but that could simply have been my mind playing tricks with the sky around the craft. All in all we watched this huge craft essentially hover with no lights for over thirty minutes near Deming. We have some crappy phone cam footage. Would really like to get into contact with others who seem to have witnessed something similar near Deming! Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. PD

Colorado Springs, CO
Leaving from work early Saturday morning around 3:30 A.M. I noticed red and green lights off in the distance over the Olympic Training Center. It stood out to me because I had never noticed the lights before. As I continued driving I saw it was hovering over the OTC. When I stopped driving it quickly shot out to the North. It had no sound and I could not see any shape to it. I watched it move off into the distance as far as I could see, it until it disappeared.

Berlin, MD
We were outside sitting on the porch of my parents home. My husband noticed a bright object in the sky. He pointed it out and said "is that a star?" I looked at it and it appeared to be changing colors. At first glance one would assume it was a star. We watched it for several minutes and it did not appear to be moving. I went inside and got binoculars. When we viewed it through the binoculars it appeared to be am object that is flashing very bright colored lights that are blue, red, green, and white. Definitely not a star or planet. We asked my mother to look and she said she saw the same thing. It is still there and just appears to be hovering. Has anyone else in this area seem this? Possible sighting of a "twinkling" star? PD

At that point, the leftmost light moved in a straight line away from the other two lights heading toward the southeast. Definitely NOT typical star behavior!

Custer, WA
We were traveling south on Valley View Road at 9:30, right after Thanksgiving Dinner. It was very rainy and overcast. My passenger pointed out lights in the sky. At first I thought it was a bright moon peeking through the clouds but then it became apparent that it was two very bright landing lights (the brightest I’ve ever seen) and we were at least 20 miles away from the nearest commercial airport. It drifted down to my left and for its size (I would say it was at least 75 feet long) made absolutely no sound. There were no other cars on the road at that moment and the only sound was the rain on the windshield. It had some small lights on its belly. It was somewhat delta-shaped but it appeared to have two sections carved out of its tail giving the impression of wings but it was still one solid object. It followed the tree line, floating majestically over it, banked and then descended into a field on the other side of the tree line. I doubled back to see if I could get another better glimpse of it, but it was gone. Since this sighting was so close to the Canadian border, is it possible that ICE has drones of that size that make absolutely no sound--like battery powered motors that don’t announce themselves when making drug busts?

Huge blue flash in the sky, most of the residence who was awake saw it....several more followed over the next few minutes. Very blue. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Potential sitting ((sic. sighting)) earlier may have been several tranformers exploding. ((END ADDENDUM))

Rochester, NY
I was driving home from work heading east down route 104 from route 259. I caught a very fast object heading left to right. The angle at which I saw it was about 20 degrees. I am aware this is not much to go by but I have seen plenty of meteor showers and plenty of air shows and this seemed very strange how fast it was moving and the location in the sky. I wanted to post this on hopes someone else had also seen the same thing.

Manassas, VA
On 24 November 2014, at about 6:40 pm, I was driving southwest on Hastings drive coming from Liberia Avenue. I stopped at the 4 way stop intersection and noticed three red lights hovering over a section of houses. The lights were not evenly spaced but from my view it look like the object was triangular shaped. The lights were solid, not flashing like an aircraft, and it was too big to be a drone. As I went through the intersection, the object slowly began to move in the direction of Lake Jackson. So I u-turned and tried to follow it but lost it as the light went past the top of the tree line. My first thought was “what the hell is that?” It was a dark night, because the moon was crescent, but the sky was clear, no clouds. It was dark enough that I could not make out the shape of the object but I could tell that it was bigger than the house it was hovering over.
