Hudson, FL
Sitting in back yard just past 2:00pm. Clear sunny day. Happened to notice a flash of light in sky maybe 12 miles or so north of Hudson, Fl. Light was not a landing light or reflection. A small dot of a craft was visible, much as a jet is visible in front of a contrail in high flight. Unable to determine shape. Flight was erratic, in and out of a contrail, above and below it. Also flew west to east along contrail. Not a normal flight path for an aircraft at 30 to 36,000 ft. agl. Object was dark in color. I tried to video it with my cell phone to no avail, object was to far away. Wife was with me but she is nearly blind, she couldn't see it. I live in Tampa air traffic area and am familiar with flight patterns. Object may have been in Hernando County. I happened to see a B-17 last Wednesday in Brooksville air space from the golf course I work on in Hudson. Told my boss about it. He thought I was nuts till picture of it was in the local paper the next day. I am a veteran of naval aviation. The B-17 was at Brooksville Regional Airport for tours last week. What I saw had nothing to do with that.

Linden, VA
As I do everyday, I go to my back bay window of my two story mountain home to check out the current weather. It is still the dead of night at this time of year as the sun will not peak over the mountain for another hour or more. I immediately noticed a light to the west. It was much larger than any thing I have every seen in the sky and was a a very strange shape. For reference, the lights of an airliner would be the size of a pencil eraser in the night sky. This object was the size of a match book. The way it moved, it appeared to be a solid object but unlike anything I have ever seen. It was rectangular in shape but made up of only lines of light. Take a match book layed on it's long side and draw 8 evenly spaced lines from top to bottom. That how it appeared in the night sky except only the lines were visible and the lines bowed ever so slightly from end towards the middle. Again, this thing was huge in the night sky. The shape never varied as it moved the 10 to 15 miles until it faded from view. It was about a mile or so west of my house when I first saw it and it moving steadily due west. It was hard to estimate the altitude but at least 3 or 4 thousand feet as it easily cleared the far mountain peaks. It was so big I was able to follow it much further than a standard airliner. I get a few airliners, a verity of small private aircraft and a few helicopters through the local air space. I have no idea what it could have been or where it could have come from. I only know it was huge, completely silent, and a solid object that moved on a straight fixed coarse at a steady speed through the area. I had the window open and it made no noise and I live in a place where you can hear a pin drop. I was an air traffic controller in the service and have seen most every thing that flys including blimps. I have no idea what this could have been and can't understand how something this big could be airborne.

2 green lights flying southwest & stopped to hover for several minutes & flew away. Within a minutes, the lights showed up again and hovered in same place before descending behind a house. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Englewood, CO
What I saw tonight (Jan 22) was extremely similar to what the woman who filed a report on January 11th wrote about. I was stepping outside for a smoke when I saw it. A big blue ball with and an orange and yellow aura around it was glowing really bright. I thought it was a shooting star or something at first, but it seemed bigger than the typical meteor I've seen before. It was only visible for a few seconds and was moving really fast. It was north from where I was and moving westbound.

Denver, CO
As I was staring out my window, there was a strange orange light coming towards me. It looked somewhat neon, but softer. The light was vibrating rapidly at frequencies I've never seen in any man-made aircraft. As it approached, I could see 3 different colored rockets attached on the bottom and a gray/white roof on top. The top was sort of triangular and the bottom had 3 rockets that were cone-shaped with flames of light coming off of them. One of the rockets flames was orange/yellowish, one was blue, and one was red. It seemed like it was vibrating instead of being propelled by an engine. It flew about 20 feet above my window and very close to the roof of my 10-story building. It happened very fast. The vibration of the aircraft was so fast that taking a picture would most likely have resulted in an image of an extremely blurry light. Although it was vibrating so fast, it seemed like it had slowed down to observe the area for some reason. This was in Capitol Hill.

Sherwood, OR
Multiple (18-24) red lights in NW sky over south Sherwood. Appear in geometric patterns and then changing into lines and triangular positions. One group of lights takes on Big Dipper constellation formation - similar to report in Bend, Oregon, last year. Lights are at times so close together; it can't be helicopters due to close proximity. Very bright and then within 30 seconds they are gone. My view was obscured as we drove up to our house and by the time we got into position to see them again they were gone. Did get 2 pictures.

Lawton, OK
I went outside to watch the sunset around 5:45 PM on 1.21.2015. When I could see from the distance what at first looked like a cloud. But it was shaped like in a v shape and was dragging a tail behind it. It moved very very slow. I took some pictures and also 3 short videos. I am not sure if it was a U.F.O or a meteor. There was plenty of planes that flew by and you could see the difference in both objects. This object did not look like a plane at all.

North Port, FL
I'm now a believer after what I've witnessed a few days ago. It just started getting dark in the sky, I don't remember the time though. But I'm driving towards the high way to go under the over pass for the high way, when I see 2 VERY bright yellowish lights in the sky. They looked almost like car head lights but a lot brighter. They appear stationary for awhile so I start thinking it's a cell phone tower or those tall street lamps we have in that area. But as I drive closer, it vanished. So I look forward and continue driving maybe about 10 seconds, and then this huge ship appears right over the tree line, and slowly moves over my car. It was going maybe 10-30mph but I couldn't tell because it was so large and so low to the ground. When it flew over I couldn't really make out the shape, the bottom of the ship was so dark that I couldn't make out any type of patterns or designs under it as it appeared to be a reflective black paint or something. But when it flew over it had 2 bluish lights under it. It looked like they were on the tip of each wing thing, and the lights were coming from a square window-like enclosure. The blue lights did flash, but not in any type of pattern, it was almost like looking at metal in a microwave, but with all blue sparks. It made no noise which confused me the most, there was also no rumbling or shaking. I could see some of the wing where the lights would flash. The lights that lit up around the wing did let me see some of the wing shape though and color. From the little I saw, the ship's shape looked similar to that atlantis space shuttle. The ship looked like it was following the highway, but next to it. I'll provide a picture/map of the course I saw it flying on. Sadly I do not own a cell phone, and the other people in the car were too in shock to respond quick enough to record it. I usually hear stories of strange red lights in the sky in this area, but this goes way beyond that… Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Rising Sun, MD
I was on my way to work, and I noticed in the distance 2 bright lights that seemed to move together. By the time I reached the end of the road I saw 4 lights. It was almost above me and I could see a trapezoid shape and 1 of the lights was constantly flashing. I got out of my car and for as close and as low as it was I should have heard it. I heard nothing of any known aircraft. I watched it for about a min outside of my car. Then decided to try to follow it. I only got about a mile or 2 down the road and it was well out in the distance fast. I did try to film it but only got a dot on my screen.

Sanger, TX
My girlfriend and I were driving southbound on I-35, about two miles north of Sanger, Texas, when, at approximately 10:40 pm, she remarked of a strange bright object to the west of us. It was a very large, “U” shaped object, orange/rust in color, glowing brightly, approximately 25 degrees above the horizon. It looked fairly similar to a crescent moon, however, it was lit from the bottom, to create a “U” shaped appearance. This captured our attention very intensely, because firstly, it is impossible for the moon to be lit from the bottom, and secondly, the moon would not be 25 degrees above the western horizon at 10:40 at night. We confirmed that the moon’s illuminated side was not even facing Earth on this particular night, according to www.moongiant.com. We continued driving southbound for roughly 4 minutes, observing the object in astonishment, and asking each other what the heck it could possibly be. It appeared to be both very large and somewhat distant from our location. Wanting to get a better look at the object and observe it more, we exited on exit 481, and headed west bound on View Road toward where we had last seen it. An overpass obstructed our line of sight to the object momentarily before we could turn on to View Rd. and once we turned west the object was no longer visible. We continued down View Rd. until it intersected with Lois Rd. Headed south on Lois until we could head west on 455, but were unable to locate it again. The size and shape of the object was incredible. It was a very strange and memorable experience.

Bethel, AK
Observed black contrail across Bethel, Alaska. Headed westerly direction. Contrail was at about a 40 degree angle from ground to event horizon. Unusual as it was jet black and contrail was zigzag shaped at top as if wind was blowing it in various directions it was then a soild line and then forked into two distinct contrails and tgen formed back into one. Object continued westerly for over ten minutes observation. Used 7x35 binoculars to watch it. Minimal clouds at time. Round? Object, about dime sized in binoculers and it continued across sky till unable to observe it with glasses. Black smoke dissipated but object was still visable.

Gila River Indian Reservation, AZ
This is my 2nd report of seeing the same orange lights near the Estrella Mountain Range. 2 orange lights appeared near the southern tip of the mountain and then eventually faded away. Upon driving further I noticed 1 light reappear close to my location. I estimate maybe 2-3 miles distance. Literally like it was turned on. These lights are brilliant orange and have an odd glow. Normally lights at a distances will twinkle as the light wave passes through the atmosphere; these were a perfect solid glow (no twinkle). After getting home I went outside to see if I could see them but my view was obscured by my apartment complex and trees. However I did notice several air craft now in the area. Since my original sighting in December, I looked up online this phenomenon and apparently it is well documented. Also I understand the Gila River Indian Tribe has stories regarding these lights going back some time. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Linthicum, MD
I'm now watching it from a parking lot in Landsdowne on Washington Blvd. The only movement seems to be be slow rotation, 1 revolution in 10 min or so. No up or down nor left to right. Tried to take a pic but won't show up on my LG phone. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Winder, GA
On Jan.11, I saw at first 6 objects flying in an oblong formation similar to geese. The objects were football or cat’s eye shaped, orange in color, and they were solid instead of blinking. I observed the objects flying erratically for approximately a quarter mile. I saw the first 6 objects for about 15 seconds. After the 15 seconds, I witnessed another of the same object flying towards the first 6 and then joining them. The 7th object flew towards the center of the first 6, and then all 7 objects disappeared. In total what I witnessed last about 30 seconds. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and we found him to be exceptionally objective and eloquent, in his description of the event. We suspect that he is an excellent witness. PD

Downer, MN
While driveing east we watched a orange light hover very high over a group of radio antennass. So high, I thought it was the space station. Then it suddenly flew straigt represent us and directly over us. It flew in front of the moon and had five straight sides with a small light at each point, and a big glowing orange light on the bottom center. It was silent. Then took off fast to the north until it was out of sight.

Englewood, CO
Walked outside to take trash out. Noticed object right away, it was just getting dark. To the south-east, saw what looked like a hot air balloon shape, a blue circle at the bottom and the top glowing fierce, shaped like a hot air balloon, but was bright flaming red with yellow, orange. I called my boyfriend out and ran in to get my phone, snapped a photo (did not come out very good). Ran back in to grab better camera. I turned camera on and the object just went black, just a black floating ball. Then it was gone! I came in and painted a picture of what it looked like. It was too high to be a balloon, and it was almost dark.
