My neighbor had been outside with me last night (3/20/15) and as we were smoking our cigarettes. She was stuck on a star....the only one in the whole sky, and it appeared to change colors. Then tonight my brother comes knocking shortly after midnight and I happen to look at the sky and saw a crazy round like barrier or out line in the sky being created by the lights. Each light moved in a slow sway motions, reflecting an almost completely transparent threat like light, which connect them in specified groups. Each time we heard the strange kind of baritone rumble in the sky only a few would zip full speed ahead and vanquish. I made an attempt to photograph on laptop but my laptop shut down every time I took it outside. We have corrected the time and date above. We are uncertain as to whether this is intended as a serious-minded report. Contact information for source is defective. PD

Palmer, AK
I seen an object that looked just like a star moving.. At first thought, I thought it was a satellite, but realized, after years of seeing them, it was moving to fast, and it was too bright. Covering a distance that is impossible for any of our aircraft that the public know about..so I thought maybe a meteorite, until it maneuvered a course correction faster than anything I know about it. My fiance saw it after the change in direction. Then it seem to fade out as it was moving faster than anything I've seen. But came back into sight again moving towards the horizon within seconds… iv never reported anything like this, and I'm kinda in shock.. i hope, someone else saw this, Please report it.

Lima, OH
I was returning home from church. I had turned off of Eastown Rd. onto Allentown Rd. heading East. I noticed what appeared to be two horizontal rows of six lights each hovering in the air about 75 feet up. As I got closer I realized that it was hovering above the area behind the Tom Ahl Chevrolet dealership on Allentown Rd. The upper lights on each end would flash intermittently. I turned into the Walmart parking lot across the road to get a better look. When I exited my vehicle the object was gone. Other than a cart pickup who was headed in with a string of carts I was the only person in the parking lot.

I was walking my dog when all of a sudden this thing flew by it was about the size of a car and it was v shaped. It had 2 yellow lights on the front and 2 yellow lights on the back with a red light in the middle it was making a low siren sound and I believed at first that it was an aircraft in distress. It made a circle over head and then hovered before landing a bit away in the woods. I live near a naval base, so that could be an explanation but its behavior was strange for a naval craft, especially being near a residential area and the hovering.

Veradale (Spokane Valley), WA
It is hard to describe, it seemed to look distorted because of the lights. It was, for the most part, stationary but seemed to move to the left and right or, maybe, if you can imagine like a bobber in the water when you fish. It of course had many lights, my camera would not focus on it and the binoculars seemed to make it look stranger. It did look like an egg almost at first, with stringy looking stuff being the lights, I assume. It looked 3D and like it had craters or something but perfectly round and different sizes. When I tried to make it focus better, it seemed like maybe it is in my head or something but when I was not zoomed in all the way, it looked more like a bright saucer. I would think this was a planet but no way was it up in the sky that high. It seemed very close, and I do wonder how something could be in our atmosphere and go unnoticed? I cannot describe what I saw, because, even though I saw it, I cannot figure out what it was. It feels like a head game at this point, maybe even a science project, but something that size I doubt someone could pull it off. I think it must be a planet, but I will have a hard time convincing myself of that. It is by far the strangest siting I have personally encountered ever!!

Vapor trail rising vertically like a rocket, then leveled off at a very high altitude. This appears to be a jet aircraft. As it proceeded South there was another aircraft following close which was not producing a vapor trail.

Tampa, FL
I'm a 31 year old female. I Spotted a highly reflective, metallic pyramid like object hovering around the Hotel Floridan in day light at Tampa Downtown. Appeared to be 5x5 feet in height and width. The object rotated slowly showing it's flat metallic surfaces, reflecting the sun on its panels. I watched it slowly move down from the sky in the distance towards the building 15 floors up from my apartment. At first I thought it was a helicopter but as it got closer, I noticed it looked nothing like it. I then tried to see if it was a balloon. But when I saw it move in a zig zag movement going up, down, left and right, I scratched that idea too. I watched it move up and down along the building and then quickly move off into the horizon, changing its speed as it eventually zipped upwards into the sky. I'm hoping other's saw this object too. Very strange. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

A circular cloud growing to double concentric circular clouds with a yellow/orange colored object in the center of the cloud. Radius of cloud approximately between 5 to 10 moon diameters at maximum extent. Object moved with cloud and cloud became fainter and larger over a period off 15 min but could still follow faint colored object as it moved very very slowly across the star background. Sighting occurred first east of the star, Sirus and moved north east in the sky. Thought initially it was a supernova but could see an object in center of cloud move with 10x50 binoculars. ((ADDENDUM FROM MR. TED MOLCZAN, OF SEESAT-L)) Hello Peter, The fuel dump from the Centaur stage of last night's Atlas V launch, was widely visible to the unaided eye from N. America. It began on Mar 13 at about 04:15 UTC, and was visible for about an hour. Ed Cannon, a long-time member of SeeSat-L, described his sighting as follows: http://satobs.org/seesat/Mar-2015/0143.html The Centaur was on a high-elevation pass, that moved west to east across the southern sky. It climbed in altitude from about 2,500 km to more than 20,000 km, on its way to its apogee of about 70,000 km. Best regards, Ted Molczan ((END ADDENDUM)) We suspect the sighting is due to a fuel dump from an expended "Centaur" stage of an Atlas V missile launch. We express our gratitude to Mr. Ted Molczan for the "heads up" on this incident. We copy below his e-mail of March 13, 2015, about the incident. PD

While traveling north on 680 highway by story and alumn rock, something rather bigger than a plane and weird shape appearing behind and within a cloud caught my eye enough for me to look back at it again but by seconds came right into clear observation out of the cloud for about 3 to 4 seconds incredible amazing clarity appeared by the perspective of the distance and heights this spacecraft must have been about at least of a small size town block ship resembling district 9 movie spaceship model but with an round structure On top and two dark columns resembling two big buildings protruding from the center down but underneath the massive and tall circling round structure was cluttered with other cluttered substructures. With an amazing short view clearance even saw the sun hitting the upper side which appeared to have supper heavy darkish iron like color massive structure with fringes for reenforcement. The sight Fractional short before cloaking as if it ! started make a cloud then absorbing the cloud into it self black spot complete cloaked.

Florence, OR
March 11, 2015 2035 pm Florence, Or 97439 We had just arrived home and were getting out of the vehicle when we spotted an object overhead. It was 40 degrees overhead moving on a south to north steady path. Altitude was approximately 100-200' above us and it was the size of 4 full moons. The object was black in color, dome shaped on top with a flat bottom. The dome area had what appeared to be louvers evenly spaced throughout and an antenna with a very bright white light at the top. The object made no noise and the light from the antenna left a small trail as it moved. We watched it for about 10 seconds and it dropped over the tree line out of sight. (( We have spoken via telephone with the source of the report, and she seemed to us to be quite serious- and sober-minded. We suspect that she and her grandson are quite reliable witnesses.

I witnessed a space craft on March 9, 2015. As a preface, 2 nights before, I was gazing at the night sky in Sedona, Arizona. I saw a bright distant star, with my naked eye, that looked like it was shooting off red and green lights from it's right and left side. So I started to videotape it with my 40X zoom video cam. Familiar with the usual aviation navigation lights, I was confused. I zoomed in on it as much as I could, and then I was able to see that the light turning white with a green ring around it and then it suddenly got very large and it became pink in the middle with a green thin ring around it, filling my whole camera screen. It was pulsating! Then it went back to its original size and turned into only red and soon became fuchsia and back to green with pink…etc. Most of the entire time it remained its unusual shape. It was a mixture of a rectangle on its longer side and an oval shape on top and bottom on its shorter side. I observed this strange light for two straight nights in Sedona, AZ, night sky. Two nights later, on a plane ,36,000 feet in the sky, I would realize that this exact shape was the same shape as the spaceship that I encountered . My Encounter: March 8, 2015, I was a passenger on Jet Blue Flight 136 out of Phoenix, AZ to JFK, NY. It was a red eye. We took off about 11:00 pm. I was looking out my window facing north in my window seat. I saw what looked like the same strange distant star I had been seeing for two nights in a row in Sedona. It looked like a red star at first but then I realized that it had those same blinking lights on it. With my naked eye, again it seemed to have green and then red shooting out of it's right and left side, again like the nights before. I was sorry I had packed my video cam away. This light was just below the constellation Cassiopeia. At first,I thought it might be a plane, but it stayed almost stationary ,in one spot, for about two hours. Then it moved very slowly a bit right and left for about a half hour. Then it gradually moved to the east towards the front of the plane and out of my view. About two hours after that, I looked out the window again and I see it moved back near to where it was originally just below Cassiopeia. But this time it sat just a little further to the right, toward the East. I was so surprised it returned. I'm staring at it again for only moments and it suddenly appears to get bigger and bigger. Then I realized it was soaring towards the plane. I couldn't believe it! It slowly flew right over where I was sitting on the plane and I could see the craft! I believe it slowed down when it approached the plane. It was about 30 feet over the plane and I could see detail! I saw its bottom, front and left side as it flew over me. I was in shock! It's shape was straight along the edge on its left and right side but front and back slightly rounded. Same shape as the strange lights I saw in Sedona. It had some lights on in the front of the craft, but small and uneven number on front right side to left. I remember 2 on the front left and one on the right. The craft appeared to be a dull off white color. It had 2 obvious huge indentations on it's left side on the bottom, where what looked like these 2 huge spotlights shown down out from. They were positioned on the left side bottom of the craft like headlights on a car. I imagined it had the same type of two big indentation lights on it's right side but I couldn't see that side as it flew over me on a slight angle. It didn't look very big, it was more like a medium-thin module. I have never seen a UFO, space craft or anything like this before. I asked my Stewardess and the Captain if they saw anything and they said no.

In flight (Phoenix to NYC), -
March 8, 2015, I was a passenger on Jet Blue Flight 136 out of Phoenix, AZ, to JFK, NY. It was a red eye. We took off about 11:00 pm. I was looking out my window, facing north, in my window seat. I saw what looked like red star under the constellation Casseopeia. Then I saw that it was blinking red and what looked like green lights, so maybe it's an aircraft. I was sorry I had packed my video cam with zoom away. I surmised it wasn't a plane because it stayed almost stationary, in one spot, for about two hours. Then it moved very slowly a bit right and left for about a half hour. Then it gradually moved to the east towards the front of the plane and completely out of my view. About two hours after that, about 3:00am, I looked out the window again and I see it moved back near to where it was originally just below Cassiopeia. But this time it sat just a little further to the right, toward the East. I was so surprised it returned. I'm staring at it again for only moments and the light suddenly appears to get bigger and bigger and whiter. Then I realized it was soaring towards the plane! I couldn't believe it! It was heading directly to where I was sitting, then it slowed down as it approached the plane and glided above it. I could see the craft! It was about 30 feet over the plane and I could see detail! I saw its bottom, front and left side as it flew over me. I was in shock! Its shape was fairly straight along the edge on its left and right side but front and back slightly rounded . It had some lights on in the front of the craft, but small and uneven number on front right side to left. I remember 2 on the front left and 1 on the right. The ! craft appeared to be a dull off white color. All the edges were rounded and I didn't see anything that looked like doors or rivets. From what I could see it was just one piece body. It had 2 obvious huge indentations on it's left side on the bottom, where what looked like these 2 huge white spotlights shown down out from. They were positioned on the left side bottom of the craft like headlights on a car. I imagined it had the same type of two big indentation lights on it's right side but I couldn't see that side as it flew over me on a slight angle. It didn't look very big, it was more like a medium-thin module. From the little research I've done since I've encountered this, I believe it looks like an antigravity car. I know we were flying about 36,000 feet and it was just after 3 AM in the morning. But with all of the excitement, I failed to see on the map exactly what state I was flying over when this happen. I have never seen a UFO, space craft or anything like this before. I asked my Stewardess and the Captain if they saw anything and they said no. I would love to know if anybody else encountered this type of craft. I am now having an artist draw up a sketch of what I witnessed.

Report: Intercept/fighter launched around Houston. I am a former navy cryptologist familiar with launching alert aircraft. On the reported date, I witnessed a single jet interceptor/fighter. I sighted him then pulled over, exited my vehicle and took apx a dozen very clear photos of his manoever from east to north-northeast. Very clear contrail on essentially a cloudless day. He was in afterburner and gaining altitude to go faster. An alert is not going to happen as an exercise especially right through the holding patter of Houston IAH.

Similar "bright-star" sighting as other reports. Around midnight above tree line mid sky a bright star is visible. Most of the time it is not moving, suggesting it is perhaps the North Star or part of a constellation. Sometimes it appears to be very slowly moving - not fast enough to be flying, just enough movement to be noticeable. Beyond the situation (the star) something seemed slightly off. One of many reports submitted by the same source, who elects to remain totally anonymous, and who provides no contact information. Probable hoax?? PD

Albany, OR
My husband and I walked outside of our house at 11:15pm the night of March 2nd, 2015, to witness multiple singular Orange colored lights in the sky. At first, it looked as if there were only 6 of light/crafts, but as we stepped out further into our front yard we saw 5 more flying directly over us and our house, 11 craft in total. 6 lights were traveling in a straight line one after another with almost perfect distance between them on the Western horizon headed South with the other 5 lights in the Southeastern part of the sky, these lights were the ones that flew directly over our house and my husband and I, these lights/crafts seemed MUCH closer than the other 6 on the horizon, this group of lights was also traveling South. The two formations of lights seemed to be traveling to the same point in the sky... The Southeastern group of lights stopped in the sky and 3 of them formed a perfect triangle while the other 2 made a line below the triangle, in the end, with the formation looking like a key shape or a backwards P. This group of lights stayed in the sky for at least 3 minutes before one by one they disappeared. The other 6 lights were traveling in a perfect line for about 1-1.5 minutes. Then the lights started grouping together in pairs and traveling at the same speed next to each other then stopped and made a square, then a triangle and then a long triangle and stayed in that same formation and spot in the sky for several minutes then one by one they disappeared also. I was able to snap 2 photos of the crafts flying over our house but for some reason after that my camera would not work for me to take a video. These are the same lights we saw in the sky no more than a month ago. Same color, same shape, almost the same time of night, but this time there were A LOT MORE!!! The first time there were only 4 crafts and we were able to get a video which is on my desktop. I reported that incident here as well. Not sure what is going on, but this seems to be becoming a frequent happening. Good, bad? Not exactly sure but it does give one quite an ERIE feeling. Anyone else in the area see these lights? How do I attach the video and photos to this report? Can someone please tell me what is going on?????

South Phoenix, AZ
Hi here! I'm new to South Phoenix, Arizona. I recently moved from a small town Indiana about a month ago. I moved in with my boyfriend in a gated community in Scottsdale. I fell in love with Arizona, I've never seen anything like it, honestly. Unfortunately, my boyfriend & I are no longer together so I moved in with a friend in South Phoenix. I can honestly say I'm enjoying myself here a lot more than I was with my ex, ha ha. My beliefs aren't related to the famous biblical forum, but more of believing in the universe. I believe that whatever we think & feel on the inside, is what we attract to us on the outside, known as 'the law of attraction'. If my religion were to be labeled, it'd be closest to Buddhism. I've seen a few indescribable lights in the sky while driving, or star gazing, etc. I've always believed in extraterrestrials, never doubted. My parents, and a few of my friends think I'm a little nuts for having an open mind , but I am…why not? It's currently March 2nd, 2015 -- 11:18pm here in South Phoenix, Arizona. A few days ago, I had just laid down & was searching for something to watch on Netflix. I felt like I needed to take a break from family guy, & watch something a little more, well, WAY more different. I came across the movie called "Dark Skies", I remembered wanting to see it in theater a few years ago. Anyways, it turns out it was about alien abductions that this family was experiencing. It was a great movie. Was very believable that something like that could really happen. Remember -- I'm open-minded. Earlier tonight, I was relaxing on the couch trying to find something to catch my eye on Netflix once again. I came across an Alien Abduction documentary. I watched it half way through, and then just lost interest, so I ended up turning it off. After I turned the tv off, I decided walk to the kitchen to get a nice cold cola from the fridge. As I walked passed my double door entrance to my backyard, for some odd reason I decided to take a peak out. Well I did just that, & I saw something for the first time that at first, I didn't even realize that what I was looking at, was for real. There is a brick fence about 5 1/2 in tall that divides the backyards of our neighborhood. The street light was stinging onto the back to the neighbors house, & I suddenly noticed a figure, it was a little bigger than the size of a basketball. But unlike a basketball, the back of the figure went into a cone shape. It was so still, that I just said to myself "Oh, well look at that! That thing on the fence looks just like an alien head, ha ha. "Well, I end to walking away after about 7-8 seconds, I get my coke, then on my way back to my living room, I decided to peak once again, again, for some odd reason. Turns out the alien head shaped figure I was looking at, had disappeared. I'm not asking anyone to believe me, but I know what I saw, & I know for a fact that my roommate was upstairs, sound asleep. I'm not really frightened by it. To be honest with you, I think it's kind of cool. -- New kid from Indiana. We spoke via telephone with the source of the report, and he sounded to us to be serious-minded. However, we are unable to certify that the report is a sincere portrayal of what was experienced. PD

My dog awakened me at the above time to go out to my large fenced yard to her business. It was a clear, starry night with temps hovering at zero F. As I was calling her back in I noticed these 'firefly'-like golden lights in the air/sky moving about. I could not tell if they were indeed small and close by in the pine trees, fifty feet away, or in the sky higher up and farther away behind the trees. I tried to think of a rational way at looking at these lights but could not. They were all tightly grouped but moving erratically with a sparkling effect. They were in the NW part of the sky or closer in my yard and in the trees. I did see a bright light traveling in the same direction, NW, and away, at the speed of a plane, but could hear no sound and don't know if it were connected in any way to these sparkling lights. As I went further in the yard to get a closer look they all suddenly just disappeared. I stayed out in the yard for another five minutes but they did not return and I saw nothing else unusual.

My husband, father in law, and I were outside and looked up in the sky and the "big dipper" looked flattened and very bright, then we realized it was moving... it wasn't the constellation, but it was several objects that looked like stars due to the altitude. They continued to get higher and further east. It appeared there were over 20 objects. Moving rapidly, changing position as they propelled across the sky.

I am making this ufo report, in hopes that if others seen it, they might be more like to report what they seen. I was walking into where I work, I was walking east, and saw 2 rows of 5 lights moving from north to south, each set of lights was about 2 fingers widths at arms length, and about 8 fingers width between the 2 separate objects. It was about 7:20 pm February 26th. 28 years working here, I know the view very well. I noticed these two lights, but took them to be airplanes, flying toward me. They looked big, but this is how the mind rationalized what I saw. As I walked, things didn’t look right. I stopped and used a distant light pole to see the direction or flight. That’s where things didn’t line up. I could see 5 lights on each, so if it was a plane, it has to be moving toward me. Such that I would be seeing headlights of a big plane. But I was due east, and they were going south. There motion was slow, but not unremarkable for planes at a distance of several miles, at about 4 fingers, at arm's length, above the ground. What happened next, is the thing that puts this into ufo category. This 1st set of lights, turns near vertical, to about 80 degrees. Which is nuts for any airplane that big and that low. But even more odd, is that the forward leading light tilted down. Such that if this were a plane, it would be turning very sharply south. Because I am thinking it moving toward me” because of the lights”, but it was already moving south before the turn. What I saw, was the light go out or turn from view, going north not south. How can a plane, moving south, turn to go north, where the leading light go down to 80 degrees, they didn’t go back to level, just “looked” to turn out of view. The turn was too sharp, and the tilt was in the wrong direction, the plane were too close to each other, and too low. This turn was in about 8 finger widths, and I’m being generous. Then the other set of lights followed, but faster. If a plane was going south, I should not have seen so many lights. If the plane were moving east “ which it wasn’t” then to turn north, the northern most light tilt down to bank north. I just can’t see how a normal plane can do what I saw.

As soon as I stepped out a helicopter flew over the house pursuing a large dark object with no lights on it . The craft, from what I could see was slightly bigger than the helicopter. They were flying so low that I actually felt the wind from the helicopter.

Moriarty, NM
I'm not sure what this actually was... Also couldn't put time above, but it was 5:45 am when I noticed this... there was a fairly large, low hanging, club-shaped "cloud" about 1 mi. S of our house which is 3 mi. S of Moriarty, NM. It was bright medium pink. The sun hadn't even come up enough over the horizon yet to light the edges of a cloud bank far E of my location. Weather at the time is very clear, cold, occasional breeze, except for the pink "cloud" and the cloud bank far distant to the E. "Cloud" appears nearly motionless. It was fairly dissipated by 6:20 am, and had barely moved in a NW direction. I've lived all over the US and I've seen plenty of crazy weather anomalies and this "cloud" WAS NOT RIGHT. I even got my friends son to come look at it. He looked around at the sky (to see if there was something worth noting) looked back at the "cloud" and agreed it was a strange shade of pink. I had no way to take a picture unfortunately. As a side-note there have also been issues with weird lights at night that were frequent around September last year but have tapered off to 1-2 times a month. They appear to be terrestrial or just above the ground. Between the lights and this freaky cloud I figured I should report something.

La Grande, OR
Stepped outside to check on cats and caught movement in the sky approx. 500ft. in altitude to the east, traveling south to north up the middle of the Grande Rhonde Valley. Appeared to be a long tapered light approx. 100ft. long with a dark center with 2 bright dots in the middle, dim light as passing through a cloud on the top and bottom... although the sky was clear. No sound whatsoever. I watched the object fly straight and level for approx. 30 sec., and ran in to get my glasses, only to run back outside and see it fade away to the north behind some foothills.
