Carmel, ME
When object was first seen, only two lights were visible (one red and one white). I then noticed how low to the ground this craft was then I noticed the craft had stop traveling and was at this point hovering before and then began to travel back slightly in the direction it had just come from. Next a spotlight became visible and scanned an area of ground very quickly. As soon as the spotlight disappeared three lights were visible in a triangle or v shape instead of only two and all three lights were now white. The craft hovered for a few moments then began to slowly descend as soon as the craft met the tree line from my few all lights disappeared and no craft was visible. I sat parked on the side of the road a moment or so but the craft did not return

Pontiac, MI
January 29, 2016, 11:55pm, I was on the corner of Walton and Baldwin, waiting on a traffic signal, I noticed very bright lights just above the trees heading north on Walton. This aircraft had 7 lights visible from the front of it, and made no noise. I realized whatever this aircraft was, it was headed right for me, and I began to panic thinking it was going to crash down on top of me. When the aircraft got to Baldwin, it turned gracefully going towards I75, this is when I seen the whole aircraft. It was triangular, it had very bright lights on each corner and smaller lights going down each side, 9 lights total. It was gliding very low and very slow as it went on its way. I did not follow it because it frightened me, and I did not report this incident because basically every one I told laughed at me.

Baltimore (West Hampden), MD
In West Hampden. Swirling pulsing noise prompted me to look outside where I saw a large floating illuminated object by the tower/antennae things over by TV Hill. Extremely bright, white with red in center. Like a mass of lights. Blinked off VERY briefly twice over the course of one or two minutes until it slowly flew SE towards the city. I then saw the triangular shape of these lights. Lights clumped together, not spaced like a regular plane.

Knoxville, TN
At approximately 14:00, I was on my back deck. I saw a triangular shaped metal object moving at a high rate of speed. It looked like a silver more streamlined Stealth bomber. It was tumbling end over end, the "bottom" was flat and shiny like chrome and the "top" was dull and bulged out in the middle like a cockpit. Other than that there were no remarkable details that I could see. The object was moving northeast. There was no smoke trail or other trail behind the object. Because of its velocity, I moved indoors because I was afraid there might be a sonic boom. There was no boom in my area, but I saw on Twitter last night that there were sonic booms heard in parts of the northeast shortly after I saw this object (confirmed by USGS). It had to have crashed somewhere; it was spinning out of control. I was by myself. As a hobby I keep my eye on the sky observing airplanes, satellites, astronomical objects, cloud formations, etc. I've seen mid-air refueling, Air Force One, satellites, and "shooting stars" from my deck, but this is the first time I've seen something I can't explain.

Stafford, VA
I was reading a book next to my bedroom window when I saw 3 triangular crafts with red, orange and blue lights appear out of nowhere. I watched them slowly they just sat there. I got up to get my Phone then it lagged and they shot out of the sky. I was perplexed.

Orting, WA
On 1-23-2016, I and four others were pulling into my drive way from being out of town for a while. When we had noticed a most beautiful upright dimond shape orange reddish light standing out from a black cloud background. I had gotten out of the truck and stood there for a couple of minutes. Then I had my buddy go and get my mother. From the 2-3 mins it took him to go and get her, the most soothing light that I had ever seen gently faided upward, or backward, into the dark black clouds with ease, as it was in no hurry.

Durham, NC
I was standing on my porch talking on my cell phone when i spotted 3 lights in a triangle formation fly directly in front of my house. It sounded like a distant rumble. I quickly got my wife's attention and she was able to snap 2 photos before it flew out of view.

San Francisco, CA
I took a photo yesterday of a ship in the Mission Bay area of San Francisco. When I looked at the photo there was an object which appeared like the shape of a plane above the ship. I did not notice this object when I took the photo. We have looked at the photo, which shows a badly blurred object. Our suspicion is that the object may have been a bird, possibly a seagull, but we can't be certain. PD

Marion, IN
I saw one earlier in the week prior, going along state road 18 east headed west towards Marion near the I-69 exit. At first I thought it was one of those red blinking towers. As I approached closer I realized it was not and it was moving very slowly just maybe 100 ft over the trees. There's were 3 lights that I could see: green, red (one on each side), and at the point of the triangular object was a white light, almost like a search light. It made no sound to my knowledge. I told my brother to look at it and he said it was probably just a helicopter. I've never seen a helicopter move that slow. As I passed it and looked back in my rear view mirror it looked as though it had 3 bright engines on the back. Two nights ago I witnessed it again over I-69 but this time it was lower and moving south along the interstate. I tried shaking off the first time, but now it's been twice within a week or so. I have no idea how no one else saw this. I've never been so paranoid and am scared to see it again. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I-495 North (driving on), MD
Driving along 495 North, saw a triangle shape craft against the early evening sky. There were 2 white lights on the two outer wings and a red light at the mid-point of the rectangle. The craft was descending slowly and was soon obscured by the tree tops. I also noticed a plane flying opposite (going the the left, away from the object).

As we made a turn, I noticed that colorful light object changed to all white lights and switched to our side as though it was following us. The object begin flying extremely low, but it wasn't making any sound then the object disappeared.

Ivanhoe, NC
An object with red flashing lights flying low in front of my house in open blueberry field, and then to the left of my house over small trees. It made no noise, and moved quick. We watched it for about 10 minutes and then it just disappeared.

Kingsburg, CA
The objects were flying in unison for the majority of the time they were viewed. They flew side by side from east to west over the 99 freeway just before the Kingsburg, CA city limits. The two objects were in site for approximately 2 – 3 minutes. As I stopped to look, the objects flew from the 10–2 o’clock position then disappeared. The night was clear, no fog. The lights were a constant white glow. They did not change colors or flicker.

Dixmont, ME
I looked out my window to see what the weather was going to be and see a fast moving object , moving to the left of my vision looking to the south west. At first I thought it was an eagle with prey. But it had triangle shape wings on top and some thing hanging down under the wings, like a large barrel shape. It was bright red on half of the right side of it. With my line of sight I would say it was a few miles in front of my window. About the size comparison of a dime, in distance, within my view. As it banked to the left ,the top of the wings got bright white because it was sunrise here to the south west. It kept moving to left and disappeared from view because of the trees. It never went any further to the left of the tree line. It was lost from my view.

Rockville, VA
Okay, so I don't know how to explain this... I heard a lot of things about "summoning Ufos" and I thought it was really stupid. It was dark outside and all the stars were out so I went outside with my dog on the porch in my blanket. I look into the sky and I "pictured" where I was at and asked them to come. I know it sounds crazy and nobody believes me, but it started with small orbs, chasing around and going across the sky, almost like stars? But then seething weird happened. A HUGE blue light flashed really fast in the right side of the sky, right about he tree line (I live back in the country) and all of a sudden this thing just came above my house. It had lights and they were in a triangle shape and they were blinking in a certain rhythm. There were a lot of lights under it, I don't know how many. But it was right above my house and I was so surprised and scared and my dog started barking at it and I ran inside, I was so overwhelmed, was crying and I didn't know what to do. I don't know the exact date either. I just found this sight to report it to. Please help if you know what this was. I've never heard of a blue flash before it coming before. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Vassar, MI
While at stop sign noticed a triangular craft hovering over a field. Had unusual orange glow underneath. Rolled down window and there was no sound to it all. Traffic was coming and when I went to look at it again, it was gone. Huge craft was not a drone. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Albuquerque, NM
I walked out first and was standing near the street where there was more light then usaul because of the front porch lamp being on. My girlfriend came out a few minutes afterwards and was standing on the side of the backyard where there almost no light. Almost as soon as she looked up she started yelling for me saying, "Babe, look!! Look, can you see that?! What is that?!" So i ran twards the back where she was and saw a giant triangular shaped object that was dark gray and was moving pretty quick and maneuvering in ways that an airplane couldn't and with absolutely no sound. We live in a neighborhood that is in line with the airport runway, so lights being on on a aircraft is highly required and this object was stealth. No lights at all!! We watched the news to see of anyone else saw it but nothing was reported. I guess we will just have to keep an eye on our sky .....

Sarasota, FL
I was walking my dog and I noticed the bright moon in the sky, brighter than usual. When the cloud below the moon moved I realized that the brightness was increased by the shiny object below the moon. From my angle which was to the right of the moon and object, the object appeared to be a triangle (teepee-shaped) and it had the glow of the moon on it, a bright white light, or it might have had its own light source. It hovered and it did not move, there were no towers or radio stations in this field of vision so it struct me as something totally foreign. The triangle was much lower than the altitude of a plane. I lost vision of it when the cloud moved and covered it up again. CORRECTED DATE
