Las Vegas, NV
I live in the Centennial Hills area of Las Vegas, NV. This is the northwest. I was traveling to work southbound on the 95 freeway. I was late for work. I always watch the skies. I don’t know why, it's not like I ever see anything. On 1/5/2016 between the hours of 9:25pm and 9:45pm, I actually did. As I passed the Santa Fe Casino, on my left, right above the casino I witnessed a triangular V-shaped object over the casino. I cannot remember if it was over the parking garage area or closer to the casino part. I am not sure. What I am sure of, however, is that I was seeing a V-shaped aerial object. The object that I saw was "hovering" in the air, as low as a helicopter could fly. (I have had airplanes fly by or helicopters sit idle near me and I hear a sound) This object was emitting absolutely NO sound. It was close enough for me to hear a sound. I would have heard a sound. Were this a helicopter or an airplane, I'm sure I would have heard sound. I thought maybe it was some type of military stealth flying object. But why would it be just hovering Non-stealthily over the nasty old Santa Fe Casino? Also I saw lights. I cannot say for sure what other colors I saw besides white. White was the dominant color, I do know that for sure. There could have been other colors as well. What I can say for absolute assurity is that the lights were chasing. Chasing like those Christmas lights that people have. The lights were chasing in the shape of the object that I was seeing, which was a V shape (acute triangle) two long sides with a shorter bottom. The bottom was invert! ed to another v. As I was seeing this, my psyche attempted to explain away my optical. The reason I was unsuccessful at explaining this away, was because of the motion of the object. As it hovered in that spot, it rotated at a half circle as it bobbed up and down slightly, while slightly tilted to the right. The movement of the craft, the location of the craft and the fact that I could hear no sound from a craft that was in such close proximity to my vehicle are the reasons why I am writing this report. The behavior of the craft frightened me more than the sight of it. I felt an immediate fear mixed with excitement mixed with dread mixed with sadness. A combination of feelings that I have never felt. Please be advised that I was driving when I witnessed this. I pulled to the carpool lane and started to drive very slowly to ensure that I was seeing what I was seeing. I started to swerve cause I was looking at the object instead of looking at the road. I turned away to keep from getting pulled over for a traffic violation. I was afraid to stop and pull over. This happened to me. I do not have any history of mental illness. I have never made a report of something like this before. I believe in the existence of something other than human beings for several reasons that I will not go into, because that is not what this report is for. I just want whoever this gets to, to take my accounts seriously. I am a previous member of law enforcement. I have had to listen to reports like this frequently from crazy people. I know the difference. I hope you do too. I know what I saw. I just would like someone to tell me why I saw it.

My aunt, uncle, and his girlfriend were heading towards Oxford, Alabama, coming from Ga. tonight to get lottery tickets. They were traveling along HW 21, when my aunt who is deaf started hollering and motioning for them to look. She claims she saw the triangular shaped object coming slowly towards them and it had 3 lights, one red, one white, and one blue. All 3 witnesses described it as looking the same except one claims they only saw a red light and a white light. My aunt quickly turned her vehicle around to get another look and it was gone.

Immediately after this happened a helicopter came flying towards that area going really really fast. Then turned around heading west. I tried to get it on my snap but couldn't get a good shot, I was moving to much. First time that's ever happened here. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

New Blaine, AR
The object passed overhead while I was driving east on Hwy 22. Object was traveling north to south at a slow rate of speed. Estimated height of 500 feet. Object had 3 equally spaced white lights that formed a triangle with equal sides with a blue/green light in the center that was not flashing. Groups of 3-4 C130 aircraft frequently fly a similar route, but they always have navigation lights flashing when I have seen them after dark. This object did not appear to be a solo aircraft, and the lighting was not what I typically see on the C130 aircraft.

At first glance it appeared as a plane on fire. But when object hovered and made no descent, but Instead ascended. Myself and witness could make no sure deduction as to what we were seeing other than UFO.

Woodbury, MN
Witnessed a triangular flying object by looking out a window from home. At first I noticed very discrete, bright, ping-pong size alternating blue and pink "light bulbs" arranged into a large triangle sitting on the same plane, blinking every second. First I was looking at the intensity of the lights, the blinking frequency, the color and then the light position for about 5 seconds. I was then trying to see a "bigger picture" beyond just the lights. By relying on those blinking lights and a few sparse smaller white light bulbs scattered around that I believe were probably turned on at a later time, I vaguely saw (presumably) the bottom/base of an aircraft. The size was big enough to cover a significant portion of the sky view from my window, I assume the flying object was hovering pretty low and that's why I could see the individual light bulbs so clearly. It was quiet, no noise. It really took me a while (7 sec at least) to realize what ! I think I saw. After that moment, I've never seen anything even close (at night time, it's pretty dark outside) to what I encountered during that short moment of witnessing. It was a close encounter from naked eyes.

I saw multiple orangish spheres in the shape of a perfect triangle and watched it till I couldn't see anymore. There wasn't any sound.

The triangular shaped objects would quickly dart about an inch in distance then stay motionless for 3 to 8 seconds. The direction of these darting movements seemed random with no particular pattern. The two objects did not dart simultaneously or even in the same direction but they did seem to stay the same approximate the distance apart the entire time I observed them which was 15 minutes

Traveling home via car saw at first hovering lights so assumed it was a helicopter flying very low. Glanced up and saw several round shaped lights (green/red/white) far too separated from each other to be a helicopter. I stopped the car and focused my eyes on the object which was almost directly above me, maybe 100 feet over the trees. I saw a massive, very dark matte gray generally triangle shaped object. It appeared to be several times the size of standard plane. The object had wing-like protrusions on each side much like a very modern/angular military aircraft might appear. It moved very slowly (15 mph?), completely silent, then increased speed rapidly after 10-15 seconds, again no noise what-so-ever. My car window was open and I was very close to the object, no possible way to not hear engine noise.

They all seemed to be moving simultaneously suggesting to that they were all attached to the same object. Then one by one the lights went out.

Thermopolis, WY
Date of Sighting: 1/1/16 Location of Sighting: Thermopolis, Wy, Time of Sighting: 12:30 a.m. Number of UFOs Seen: One Weather: Clear Cloudless Sky, Around Zero Degrees Reporter of Sighting: Woman 59 years of age; employed in legal profession and work for the federal government. Equipment used for Sighting: Binoculars I was in a motel room on second floor. I wanted to try out my new binoculars, so went outside on the balcony. I immediately noticed flashing colored lights in one area. I focused the binoculars on the lights. The ufo I saw was in the sky, and was a black triangle with different colored lights flashing on all 3 sides of the object. The ufo was hovering and appeared to be not moving in any direction. The colored lights on the 3 sides of the ufo were flashing. I stayed on the balcony for half an hour, despite the zero degree temperature because the object fascinated me and I wanted to be certain it was not a plane or a planet. The flashing lights outlined a black triangle so the shape of the ufo was definitely a triangle. I zoomed my binoculars in on other objects i.e. stars, etc. The stars had no colored lights and were not flashing; they were stationary white stars. I finally concluded this was definitely a triangle shaped ufo with various colors of flashing lights on all 3 sides of the triangle, and that the object was hovering in the sky. The next night on 1/2/16, I went outside on balcony at same time and the object was not in the night sky.

Matthews, NC
Just after midnight, I went out into my backyard to have a cigarette and I saw 3 lights in the sky, forming a sideways triangle or pyramid. At the front were two lights, nearly vertical and then about 300ft behind them, a single light, forming the point but at the rear. The three lights moved in unison, and at the same speeds. The lights were white with a bluish halo. I immediately called my wife and 8 year old daughter out and they both witnessed the event. I tried to capture it on my cellphone but was unable to get anything clear. Once the lights disappeared behind my neighbors roof, we lost track of it.

Outside smokin a cigarette in the garden, next to an unlit car park and field area. Southwest England. Bright but DULL light next to a star, seemed to be slowly moving, didn't understand if it was actually moving or not but by the time I realised, the star it was next to was far from the original point. I ended up watching it for a while as it moved slowly, bits of dull light trailing off from the main light going the other way it was moving. It stayed moving in the same area then would slowly go back to being next to the first star area then move slowly again and spin and circle but the extra lights would only come off he main one when it was going in circles. The main dull light though would get dulled but kind of spark-glow, I don't know the words to describe it. When it would unglow I thought it was going behind a dark cloud but there are no clouds but I also don't know why the moon isn't out on this side of the house tonight as it's super low lately so there's no clouds, Turns out after what feels like forever, it's actually a really hard to focus on black moth like thing with a light at the point, but I selected triangle (for shape of craft) cause it's kind of like that but had the build of being bigger than I should of seen and it was terrifipying to realise and the shape was only visible occasionally and it was bigger than the main light entirely. Not boomerang shape, like the ones I tried to look for online to help with this. I'd say a moth but the type of body that is furry and it's just sat on your curtain chilling but almost letting its wings hang. Like a guitar pick too. The bottom end was actually the lights trailing off and not disappearing but just being at the bottom. I went inside and talked to housemate briefly who asked why I'd been outside so long, they said I'd been there about half an hour, I thought it was only cigarette length (they usually burn out after 5minutes), ran upstairs, switched off my lights and went under the curtains and watched the light thing for more. Probably unrelated but I stopped because the police turned up with torches and started shining them into the field from the car park and then into my face and I got really angry and showed my face at not wanting light pollution and by the time they left I couldn't see the huge cloud-light-glow anymore. I first went out around 18:15 cause I'd just come home from work. I put 1-3 for witnesses because there were two community support officers. I live near an army camp which is one of the biggest in the country and is also particularly famous for its tank museum (cannot be differentiated between several in the country so this is OK to list) Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

What seems like 2 triangular lights glowing dancing around off the 2 glendale freeway (looking south east) from La Crescenta ca. Over the mountains and then they get very bright and after a few minutes they disappear. This has been happening for over 1 year. Sometimes they won't show up. Looking through by telescope. They appear triangular. Unless my mind is playing tricks I've seen a real UFO and these look similar. However they may be something else. Possible sightings of "twinkling" stars? PD

There was a small part in the clouds, and near a star, there was a triangle of lights. I watched the craft move up and away. After checking again, there were no stars near where I saw the craft. The lights were white, and did nothing but hover

Londonderry, NH
We saw a stationary triangular shape in the sky with red, green, and white lights. We assumed it was a plane at first because the Manchester airport is nearby, but as we passed it in the car, we started seeing it from different angles. Then we assumed it was a tower or beacon, but we’ve lived there for years and knew nothing like that existed there. When we realized it still wasn’t moving, we did a U-turn and pulled into a parking lot to look at it closer. After a few seconds, it started moving away from us and eventually disappeared into the night.

Driving along Highway 417, when I witnessed a large black triangular craft, drifting in and out of the clouds, heading westbound. I had visual ID on the craft for roughly 3 minutes. Unknown how many other witnesses saw the craft. I could not hear any sound, however it was rather loud on the highway, as the roads were slushy and it was a bit windy.

Campobello, SC
Around 1930 I was contacted to come outside and look towards the skyline, there were four orange lights/orbs that were moving. My friend, who contacted me to come outside, said that a few moments earlier there were several others visible. At this moment, three to four additional orange lights appeared below the four lights. The lower lights were rotating in a triangular shape. We called my grandmother to come out to see this event. The orbs slowly disappeared.

Lights were not very strong but obvious enough for observation. No sound was heard at all. It was way above my head, so I could not tell how big that object was. It travelled quietly pretty fast and I believe faster than an airplane. Anyone else saw this object in Palm Beach area at all??

Upon exiting my vehicle, I noticed a bright light out of the corner of my eye. I looked up and seen 3 red lights in the form of a triangle slowly moving from south east to North. There was no sound coming from the craft. As the craft moved northward each of the lights began to flicker one by one, they faded to white and then went out until craft was no longer viable.

Wind Lake, WI
At around 8:27PM, we were standing out on our driveway, when we glanced up and saw about 4-5 triangular objects in a line from the ground to the sky. We went to get the rest of the family, and soon realized that the objects moved 90 degrees and are now horizontal in the sky. The objects started to move apart and suddenly disappeared in all directions. This was the freakiest thing I have ever seen in my life. The sky had a low cloud color so you know for sure that the objects were very low. The objects had 3 points each flashing a distinct pattern of colors.

3 lights in a triangle formation. Each light was the same intensity and brighter than any stars. There was no flickering or flashing. I know enough about astronomy to quickly rule out planets, or a constellation. As i stopped walking, i could see the 3 lights moving in unison heading south at a steady pace. By the time, i could get my phone out and turn on the camera, i looked up and it, "3 lights" was no longer there. The wind was blowing heavy to the east. I can't rule out "Chinese lanterns" but the wind was blowing in the wrong direction.
