Never seen anything like it before in my life and I've sailed offshore over 15,000 miles with plenty of satellites, aircraft and shooting star experiences.

My husband and I saw an object in the sky. It appeared to be a light just hovering in the sky. It looked kind of like a teardrop. It was just sitting there. Then it zoomed upwards and sat for a few seconds and then disappeared. There were several jets that appeared to be headed towards it. I saw the same thing about a month ago.

At approximately 16:15, heading west, northwest a highly reflective seed-, or teardrop-, shaped object, moving across the sky at a very high rate of speed. Its contrail is what first caught my attention, best described as a curlycue swirl shape. Object moved across the visible horizon in only seconds, incredibly quick. This is roughly the same heading that the recent test rocket seen on the Pacific coast took, I managed to photograph that sighting. This time the object had the sun behind it and its contrail, so none of the photos came out. I submitted a report and photo from the previous rocket launch sight in a few weeks back, same city.

We both waited for a crash or explosion, but there was nothing. Had something sticking out slightly of both sides, looked to short to be wings. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Phoenix, AZ
At approx. 17:03 hrs., while standing outdoors, facing the west, I saw what appeared to be a clear balloon rising up into the sky, although when considering the shape of Earth, it may have simply approaching at a steady elevation and appeared to be rising, as the sun does. The object was small from my vantage point and I will compare size by Ie: How an air plane would seem so small from 60-80 miles away in the evening when its flood lights are on. You would see what appears as a tiny ball of light. This object traveled from the west and to the east at a high rate of speed, much greater than anything I've seen before. If I were to stand with my face to the south, point my finger of my right hand to the approximate area where it first appeared, and point the finger of my left hand to where I lost sight of it, my hands would be at approximatelt, 2:50 PM if I were a clock. I first thought it to be WT1190F (The debris from the Apollo program, which was estimated to fall out on Friday, November 13, about noon Eastern time, over Sri Lanka, though no documented evidence of it having come down is found. I am going to assume this was some strange atmospheric phenomenon such as St Elmo's Fire or Lightning out of the clear blue sky. I do not believe in space ships and aliens. Thank you! God bless.

Modesto, CA
I was outside, looked up saw soft looking cotton/fuzzy textured glow of white light that looked like an upside down cone. At the tip the light was very long and slender. This connected to one bright teardrop shaped object that was a very bright white light. I thought that it may have been a plane flying through an overcast sky and disturbing moisture or a police chopper with their search light on and looking for something. The the light glow was not that bright and did not touch the ground. I ran for my camera and the light was gone. Then in the distance I saw the point of light, the teardrop shape. I ran and got my binoculars and could see the tear dropped shape brightly glowing. It would repeatedly go bright and dim. There was no sound, noted that the stars are bright, no noticeable haze or clouds; a passenger jet was clearly seen moving toward San Francisco airport. The object was not climbing but moving forward and only white. Weird. U. S. Navy missile launch. PD

Conroe, TX
They appeared to be bright lights low in the sky and began to form different formations! They seemed teardrop shaped and then would look light a trail of bright light coming from one end that turned the objects directing them into another formation. This appeared to us how they could move and change from a ring of 6 bright objects into a formation of 3 on top of 3, and then 2 on top of 4! It caught our eye and we thought it might be several planes coming very close on same path until they continued to change positions. We were traveling north on Hwy 45 just outside of Conroe, TX, on our way to Huntsville, TX.

Fresno, CA
October 8, 2015, At approximately 10:05 AM my husband and myself were driving west on Hwy 180 and between Fowler Ave and Clovis Ave I noticed, I thought a flock of birds in the right hand sky above the tree line. I said "look at that flock of birds or maybe it's ducks." My husband responded "that can't be birds, they're too big for birds." The formation was kind of round to the left and gradually & sparsely dwindling to the right, kind of like the tail. The formation was made up of black shapes, some large, some larger and some smaller. Their shapes were bigger on one rounded end than the other rounded end and the sides were straight lines. Some of these shapes were moving and the smaller ones in the tail section were fading. So, right before Clovis Ave, the winery storage tanks cut off their view until you're almost under the overpass. At that point the sky opened up again and the shapes converged into a larger mass (left) that still had the shapes, but they now were much darker and they were NOT moving, but kind of hovering in the air (the tail, for lack of a better word, had disappeared). It is hard to describe in words, but easier to describe verbally. I think it was kind of hard to look at, meaning hard to describe something that made "no sense!" They disappeared again because of the freeway embankment, but my husband said we'll catch them at Hwy 41 where the road climbs and the embankment disappears. Well, needless to say, the mysterious "thing" in the sky had disappeared!

Fresno, CA
Thursday October 8, 2015. At 10:05 am, my wife and I were traveling on Freeway 180, between Fowler and Clovis Avenues, about a mile south of Fresno-Yosemite airport in rural Fresno, CA. In the clear sky about what we thought to be a mile or two west of the airport, out of our front window we saw about thirty to forty black objects maybe more stretching across the sky. We viewed them for about ten seconds until our line of sight was blocked by huge winery tanks off the freeway. As an estimate this fragmented formation could have been up to a mile in length moving across the sky in a slow hovering motion. The largest body of the grouping was closest to us and narrowing down in size as it distanced away. My first impression was a mass parachute dropping near the airport? A few seconds later driving past the tanks the sky opened, and again we saw them but now they were clumped together in a tighter formation. After again losing sight as the freeway dropped behind the trees I rushed ahead for about a minute, to where the freeway was above the trees giving us a full view of the north west sky. To our amazement there was nothing, only helicopter circling above and a black SUV off the freeway with the two occupants looking up with one pointing to the western sky. I assure you these were no parachutes or birds, but something I have never witnessed before. If my judgment of distance was correct they had to be at least the size of a small airplane. If they were actually farther away they were then much larger. This formation was not like one you would normally see displayed by an air force flight but that of a semi-scattered group in closer proximity to each other but yet looking fragmented and not necessarily pointed in exactly the same direction. Trying to determine their shape and size was a bit confusing as they first appeared to be more square on the left end and sloping down on the right. Like a fat eyebrow to even perhaps a delta look, but their shapes, though seeming somewhat uniform, were not. Trying to get my mind to focus on them was strange to say the least, as if they were trying to change bits of their shapes as I watched. I called the airport tower spokesman asking if they had seen anything as such and he said he wasn’t on duty this morning and there was no report. The Tower spokesman then gave me the number to the UFO center and encouraged me to call. I am a 1967-69 Army veteran and retired fire captain and have never before witnessed such a sight. Incredible …

I'm not one that has ever believed in E.T. butttttttt for the past year I have been seeing bright moving lights in the shape of a cone move around the sky but I blew it off didn't think much of it. but presently here the past 3 full months every night I have been able to see these bright objects hover fly blink red but shine really bright. I'm starting to worry now cause about 100 feet from my house I saw 6 bright lights rise from a field and slowly bind in with the Stars and then play hopscotch then there gone. I didn't catch that on video but I have a recording of the first one I seen witch was on 10/1/15. there all around my house and I'm starting to really worry.I would be extremely thankful if someone could help resolve what I and my boyfriend have been seeing.

Narragansett, RI
A little about me: I have been going to this beach for my whole life. I used to sail with my Junior High School in nearby Point Judith. And I have excellent vision. My friend filed her own separate report on this incident. On September 27, 2015, at approximately 8:30 p.m., my friend and I drove to the Narragansett Town Beach on Route 1A, in the state of Rhode Island, to view the lunar eclipse. We were looking at the moon over the Atlantic Ocean. My friend was looking off to our right and she asked me what I thought was in the sky. I sat up and turned around to face towards Lake Canonchet and saw the flying object. The flying object was colored more gold than orange. The very outer edge of the object looked like a lighter gold than what the rest of it was. The edges were a little bit hazy, that’s what made the little bit of color difference on the outer edge. The object was not rotating or spinning. It had to be at least 500 feet or more away from us. It was moving very slowly. It was heading North-Northwest. It took at least 2 or 3 minutes to go out of sight. It was during the same time that the moon was ¾ covered by the eclipse, actually it was more like 7/8 covered by the eclipse. It did not stay in a straight line as it flew, instead it kind of rocked back and forth, but the rocking was not visible unless you were really staring at it. The rocking was very hard to see. It continued rocking until it was out of our sight. And it was not an airplane that we could tell because it had no airplane lights blinking. The object was slightly round and then it turned into a tear drop shape and looked a little narrower, like a tear drop laying on its side. But my friend described it as an orb, and did not see the tear drop shape happen. The point of it was on a 45 degree angle from us. The point of it was the tail end. At some point I told my friend to look at it through the telescope. We had an old Tasco F=600mm D=50mm telescope, but she couldn’t line up the view because she said she couldn’t keep up with it, it was moving too quickly. It just looked like a tear drop going through the air, on a steady course, it just had a little sway to it.

Los Angeles, CA
UFO SIGHTING LOS ANGELES, SEPTEMBER 27, 2015 Having been in the travel business and well traveled, I am fairly aware of flight patterns around Southern California airports. Observance occurred while sitting in the outdoor patio area of the LOS ANGELES MUSIC CENTER COMPLEX at approximately 6:00pm. I was facing east and observed two normal commercial flight patterns. One was a quad-jet jumbo at a fairly high altitude, probably enroute to Europe. The others were a series of aircraft doing their normal circle around downtown Los Angeles on their final approach to LAX. I think these are somewhere about 6,000 feet or so. At one point I notice something in the sky near the “whispy” light cloud cover. My first reaction was to questions the flight pattern. It was not a normal LAX approach nor was it an approach to Santa Monica Airport which normally occurs further north. The object initially appeared to have alternating right and left side lights, somewhat similar to landing lights on commercial aircraft landing at night. As it traveled further west, I realized that they were not lights but seemed to be the sun reflecting off of some sort of metallic panels on either side of a vertical cigar-shaped object. I brought the object to the attention of my friend. His first reaction was that it was definitely not an airplane nor helicopter, as its appearance was not in coordination with either of these type of air vehicles. I continued to watch the object for about a minute or so. I was then distracted with the screaming of young children in the area. I went back to look at the sky and the object was gone. I continued to scan the sky, but never saw it again.

Hoschton, GA
I saw a jet airplane flying much lower than normal and in an unusual direction (almost straight west instead of the usual southwest direction toward Atlanta). Approximately 1/4 mile behind it was a white light shaped like a teardrop. Much smaller than the plane itself. I watched it until it reached the tree line and the light seemed to be getting closer to the jet as it left my sight.

~ 9:10 PM September 14, 2015: ~ Two hours after sunset, I was out on my 3rd floor balcony, flying my quad copter, enjoying the lights on it (red, white and blue) very nice. Flew it straight out from the balcony about 75 feet, while arching it upward to around 50-75 feet above ground and Swooooosh: in my peripheral vision to my slight right (10-20 degrees) I caught view of a tear drop shaped object pointed end first head swiftly to the West (more right) of my southern view. Freaked me out a little, because it was illuminated by (what I will have to say) ambient light from the neighborhood, and streetlights. The sky at the time was sparsely partly cloudy, low humidity, with fluffy clouds with very clear areas of visible blue (but dark) night sky, and, clear visible stars, jet planes etc. Winds were calm. Finished flying the quad and, wow, I was thinking, was this UFO stationary and just observing us, me, someone? Did they (presuming there were little guys on b! oard) get startled because my quad flew out there toward them? Was too funny-weird to not take this incident "freak-me-out" serious. After a few maneuvers, I flew the quad copter back to the balcony and got goose bumps. P.S.--My guesstimate of its speed is ~250-300 mph, and possibly a bit more, as it began to fade from sight at 50 degrees to the right. I first caught perisight of it seemingly out of nowhere (Swoooooooooooooooooosh) and then vanished the same way it appeared. (After some thought, the object may have had some self illumination )

Shreveport, LA
Driving on Interstate 49 a few miles before the Southern Loop exit along the furthest outskirts of the city, a flat grey craft shaped like a teardrop hovered about 75 feet above treeline approximately ~1 mile from our vehicle. Object remained in sightline for several seconds before either disappearing behind the horizon OR descend into forest. Was not spotted again despite traveling in same direction.

North Port, FL
I was heading out to work when I saw a bird-like winged object surrounded by a brilliant blue light moving across the sky, South by Southwest. At first I thought it was a comet until I noticed the shape. It grew in size as it moved, leaving a bluish white trail behind it until it no longer had a winged shape, but a tear drop shape. I recorded it with my phone although it was still night and my phone couldn't capture as much as what the naked eye could see. By the tielme I pulled over, other people were parked on the road recording it as well. Launch of Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral at approx. 0610 hrs. PD

Spring City, TN
There was no smoke, no flames no sound. It was being followed by a very large helicopter. This sounds crazy but it disappeared.... There then gone. Coincidentally, it was in the immediate area of the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant. This was not out of the corner of my eye...it was directly in front of me. I should have reported it sooner but it sounds so crazy and I was actually kinda scared.

Hilo, HI
Looked like a meteor. Started out as one large fireball with a tail, then broke up into 5 or more lights with tails going sideways (west to north) across the sky. Looks like it might have fallen in the ocean. ((ADDENDUM FROM MR.
