I experienced something extremely strange! I was driving on the interstate going 80 mph and there was something flying above me in front of me going faster about 90-100 mph it was much larger than a regular drone probably a few feet at least in size. It was in the distance at first I thought it was a plane but planes don’t shine one giant light, also as it got closer I saw more details. There was this very large bright light in the middle and two tiny lights on each side of the middle light red and green. I thought at first it was a drone filming the traffic. But then there were HUNDREDS of them all spread across the sky very close to me! They were getting lower and closer to me making it very distracting for me to drive! I was quite shocked and worried I called my husband panicking. A few minutes later I find a safe place to pull over and film it but they were moving so fast most had left and they went higher into the sky looking like stars. Also some of them took the lights off when I watched. But I did get some on video footage. All along I-12 were these things, it was very dangerous to have them so close to drivers. I don’t know what was going on but whatever experiment they are doing needs to happen off the interstate and stop hovering over us driving! Also as I got closer to my destination they started traveling much faster and going up high into the sky. Some went black and some were so high they looked like stars. When I walked out of the car to where I was going I showed my friends and they said it looked like they were in the shape of the Big Dipper but you could see them all the same size and they were slightly blinking. On my way home I saw them again 2 hours later. This time they had more of a reddish and green glow and there was spray coming off of it. On and off.. What the heck..

My husband was the first person to notice the bright light moving around in the sky about our front yard tree line, he hollered at me and told me to come outside and look at this bright light in the sky. When I get outside on her front porch I could see two lights moving around extremely fast but had no sound could not see any wings rotors or any kind of a exhaust streaks been made in the sky from this unknown flying lights. However we could see the airplanes exhaust streaks behind it in the sky as it passing over in the sky to our far right side and the unknown light was to immediately lift. One unknown light fly up in to the clouds and he was just gone you think you want to stay around for a little bit and did the same surely after when I'm safe blue I mean it shot straight up and with gone. I tried to get pictures but all I had was my phone and they don't look like it did to us in person. I also took a picture of the airplane in the sky and also the moon. I wanted to be able to show someone that whatever we was looking at in the sky could not I'm anyway be one of these items. I will also attached the picture I made of the unknown lights, airplane and moon to this so you can see the difference in these three optics. I have also marked the unknown lighs with a blue circle number to my picture and also attached the unmarked pictures of all three items. The craziest thing happened later that night with the video I had recorded of the unknown lighs in the sky. So after the unknown lighs fly up into a cloud I stopped recording and we looked a little bit longer and then when in the house, I was looking at the picture and then when to watch the video and this is where it gets a little bit more stranger and crazy. When I started to watch the video it wasn't anything there but the rocks from my driveway. No unknown lights no noise of any kind of just straight like I was recording the rocks in my driveway, but I'm not sure how that could have happened when I was looking at the lights through my phone as I was recording them because it made it a little easier to see how they where where moving around. Unfortunately Im not sure what happened to cause my phons video camera not working correctly. I don't know if you heard of anything like this happening to other people or not.

Just 4 lights above the city of Portland. 4 lights Standing still in the sky. 1 disappeared. Last 15-20 mins. Reminded me of the pheonix lights. You could see the planes flying in from east to west to land. Definitely wasn’t planes as I’m a former navy ATC and know how planes are directed to the airport to land.

I arrived home from the Walgreens at approximately 3:34pm according to the app I use to record my driving and upon exiting my vehicle, I turned towards my house and immediately noticed the bright half moon in the sky. For some reason it caught my attention and stood in my driveway for a brief moment until I noticed the bright liver object to the left of the moon high in the atmosphere. I thought at first it may have been a star or a satellite but ran into the house to get my Sig Sauer 10x42 binoculars and went out to my patio to get a closer look. I orientated at the moon and zoomed in to get a clear picture and from that point I traversed left to where I had last seen the object. I was able to find it and get a clear view. It was located at 75 degrees NE from my location to the left of the moon. It was at this very moment that all the neighborhood dogs started barking and birds began to chirp which I had never experienced since I've lived here. another odd observation is that it was a clear and sunny day but during this event a light haze filled the sky and cleared shortly after it disappeared. When I knew I was looking at a UAP described as a spherical chrome like object hovering at high altitude I wanted to get a tripod and my cell phone to capture video but just as I was about to as if it knew what I was about to do, it literally shot out of sight in what could have been a reveresd direction with no chem trails, sounds or lights. I don't know if this is related but I noticed an unusual amount of high altitude aircraft flying in all direction shortly after the sighting to the right of the moon. I have seen UAP's before in my childhood in Whittier (Major event 80's), California, on I-15 en-route to Vegas, Victorville, CA and in Iraq. I see high altitude flying aircraft in the Arizona night sky that defies explanation often. This is the first time since I was a kid that I have witnessed a UAP during the day.

I was looking out my bedroom window and seen a Very bright star light that was changing colour to red on and off very slowly for about 1 minute then it went off on a very fast angle and disappeared, shocked by this I kept looking into the sky and seen heaps of activity over a period of time with very bright lights flying through the sky very fast. With in those hrs from 4.40 am till I stopped looking at 6 am I reckon I have seen at least 10 or more around the same area at different intervals by just looking out my window, these ones were only a bright light and one of them went to a Mega bright light which I felt like it had seen me looking at it when it turned a mega bright light. They were way faster than any plane I have ever seen and was definitely not a satellite as I’ve seen them before, this was much different. I stopped watching about 6am as it was freaking me out

Albuquerque, NM
I started recording what I thought was a falling star but it seemed low and not up in the atmosphere and the shape and intensity changed as it seemed to get smaller moving SSW to NE. It was also losing altitude slowly so it looked to be maybe 5-10 miles to my south. It went behind a foothill but below the Sandia Crest where it disappeared and no noises either.

On 26th of April evening at around 10:30 just after I finished meditation on the deck of the workplace at the start of night shift I observed a triangular craft hovering directly over my head and slowly gliding away right after. It had three white light under in each corner. It produced no sound was a rainy night and craft was directly under the clouds so I could clearly see that it was a physical object that looked very extraordinary. I worked as a social worker with kids that are in vulnerable sector so I was absolutely not under influence of anything. Same night I woke up at 3am and observed a childlike figure standing in the room where I was sleeping and I remember attempting communicate with it that went through some sort of mind to mind image projection type of way. I don’t remember much after and what I remember I can’t even convince myself that it’s real due to how extraordinary it was and I’m not sure whether it’s connected or not to my sighting but part of me feels like it may be. My Apple Watch recorded me being awake for two hours and I have no recollection of it. If you need more information best way to reach me out is through email.

Reidsville, NC
I went out into the backyard to let the dogs out, and noticed an extremely bright light in the sky. I stared at it for a moment and it did not appear to be moving, and then I realized it was hovering very slowly in an inconsistent pattern (as opposed to drifting or flying upward on a path). The light was so bright and large that it almost appeared burning, as if it were a large meteor, but the movement of the light made it impossible to be a meteor, because it was not falling down towards the Earth. Another result of the size and pure brightness of the light is that it was very disorienting as far as depth perception; it was very hard to tell how far away it was because of the bright, burning nature of the light. When I say "burning", I mean similar to a pulsating light, but closer to the way light appears to move through a fire. I watched it move for no more than two minutes, then went inside to grab my phone and came back outside (no more than 30 seconds later), and it was gone, which is very strange considering how slowly it was moving.

Sitting in my backyard, I heard a plane go over and looked up to see it. I saw the plane heading west in the north but below it was a black trapezoidal shape wavy object that seemed to be rising up to it. It looked like a giant black manta ray swimming upwards and I assumed it had to be a balloon or vinyl sign that had ripped free from a business and caught in the wind. But it started moving west and looked like it was changing shape. I stopped filming when it went below the tree line, thinking it was gone, but then I saw it a few seconds later in the distance farther west. I filmed it because I didn’t and don’t know what it was.

Driving thru Echo Canyon in Wyoming about noon and out of nowhere is a tick tack shaped very shiny, metallic object in the sky. It went into a very small thin cloud and never came out of it.

Object was a small white object shaped like a bird circling in small tight circles just to the north about 8-10 times overhead then made 1 large circle then at a high rate of speed it sped off to the west extremely faster than a bird could fly. There was never a flapping of wings, the object was out of sight faster that we could get binoculars.

Kent, WA
This bright pale green light was seen travelling east to west while driving south (although facing west) on highway 167 in Kent, WA. The precise location was approximately 1/2 mile south of the ball glass factory, between the 84th street and Willis street exits. This bright light flew overhead for only 2 or 3 seconds. The object may have been cone or triangle shaped, but this shape may have been a short fanning trail. Both passengers in the car saw the same object at the same time. We speculate it could have been a 120mph drone because it passed us in 2 seconds while we were travelling 65mph. Observer 1 is a industrial repair technician, US born, baptist religion. Observer 2 is a nurse, filipino, baptist religion.

It started out as scattered random light flashes, them we witness a massive triangle roughly 2 1/2 ft long per side and there are now 2 of the triangles joining and several dozen smaller aircraft are coming out of this thing. I am sober, and a vet. Perfect psych report, we arec witnessing this Rifht now. It's happening. Our cell phone cameras aren't picking them up they're to faint but look into this you have to.

Omaha, NE
Looking to the west, this object moved from south to north at a constant pace. Too fast for a plane/drone, too high for a bird and did not leave a contrail. Object was a black pill shape and did not have any lights flashing/strobeing and did not reflect any sunlight. At first I heard the sound of a plane in the distance but did not see any planes anywhere until I noticed what I thought was a black bird soaring high in the sky then realized it wasn't a bird or a plane. Object was making a humming sound the entire time of travel. I used to live by Offut AFB and have seen some weird lights and vehicles in the sky as well as odd sounds. Never seen anything like this. This Object was definitely not a b52 at cruising altitude or a plane.

Seymour, IN
While traveling down hwy 50 from Seymour Indiana to Muscatatuck urban training center, a light caught my eye from the vehicle I was traveling in as the front seat passenger. I immediately turned my head to the right and saw 4 lights equally spaced together and a 5th light spaced twice the distance apart as the first 4 lights traveling horizontally, parallel to the roadway we were traveling moving in the same direction as we were, west to east. They were traveling at a constant speed of an estimated 150 to 200 mph judging by our speed of 60 mph. It was still dark outside and no size or shape of the object that the lights were attached was noted. No navigation, running, or landing lights were seen. No indication of wings were noted. The objects then disappeared behind trees and were not seen again. The weather conditions were cold, dry with a cloud cover preventing any stars or the moon to be seen. It was estimated that the object was at approximately 1000 feet in altitude and approximately 1 mile in distance from our vehicle. The lights were bright but no more than a vehicle high beams with a yellowish tint. The object was moving in the same direction as us so it wasn’t confused with the reflection of an oncoming vehicle. No noises were noted coming from the vehicle. Our vehicle windows were up however. No exhaust or trail was noted. I am fine with being contacted by an investigator if desired by NUFORC.
