Witness was at work on the city's east side not far from hwy 41 when he noticed a bright orange light to the east through an open garage door he was working close to. He estimated it was at least 10 to 15 miles away, but the height was hard to judge. "If you stuck your arm straight out, it would have been less than a fingers width away from a tree line that was over a mile away. Probably hundreds of feet from the ground." The light was definitely lower and brighter than any star in the sky that he had ever seen. It was also brighter than a passenger plane flying not quite overhead of where he was, and larger. His first thought was that it was a helicopter with a search light, since it seemed to be stationary, and he figured a bright search light may explain why it looked so big. He watched it for around 3 minutes before he had to walk away for about 10 seconds, and when he returned to see what it was doing it had vanished. He watched for maybe another! minute and it still hadn't returned. That's when he thought maybe it was a UFO. He went to tell a co-worker about it and took care of a few things which took about 10 minutes and went to look again and there was another orange light. This time it was off to the left a bit and a little higher. "I would say at least a mile north of the first light. My co-worker was close by so I called him over to see it." They talked for a couple of minutes about it while they watched it and then it just disappeared. It was like someone just flipped a switch and it was gone. After another 15 minutes or so he went back to look and another light appeared while he was watching in the same place the first one was, except this time it was a deep red. Then this one started ascending higher into the sky very slowly, and after it moved about an inch or so from his perspective, it kind of changed colors back to orange. It stopped after another inch or so and stayed there for several minutes before disappearing. He had forgot to mention that between the first and second light he had seen an object fly from the direction of the lights toward and straight over him to the west. "It didn't appear to have any lights. It looked like it was reflecting the lights from the city. It looked grayish and maybe triangular. It was moving almost as fast as a meteor and over twice as fast as a plane." It was probably several hundred feet from the ground. After the third light he witnessed, he and his co-worker were standing at the garage door when he saw a light that appeared even further in the distance than the original lights. Then a second light appeared to the south and another appeared to the north. All three were slowly moving up and down and changing the intensity of their light. Eventually they disappeared one at a time. Then about 15 or 20 minutes later he was looking again and saw a bright red light blinking very rapidly in the distance for about 10 seconds. All of these lights were definitely hundreds of feet in the air, bri! ghter and larger than any aircraft he had ever seen, moved in ways that he had never seen a regular airplane move, and were not stars or radio towers. He wasn't able to take pictures because it was night and the distances, and there were street lights in the foreground screwing with the focus. Also, the sighting didn't really make me feel any certain way but it did give me good bumps. (MUFON CMS)

There was a round flat surfaced object that appeared at about 80 degrees above the horizon, it seemed to mirror the sun and clouds, super reflective, which at times looked like a full moon yet the moon was below on the horizon in a waxing crescent. Others watching thought it looked like a ringed object with an opening in the center. The outside edge of the object was very bright and looked as if there were lights that encircled it. People around stated that they had seen it from other locations in the the area from as early as 14:00 hours and it remained there, in the same spot until after the sunset.

Witness noticed Venus, following the sunset, and Saturn, in the SSW, were very bright as he arrived home. As usual his neighbor's dog, a large but very friendly, female, Pit Bull mix, was there to greet him. After watching Venus for a moment he saw, a few degrees off, what looked like a huge band of lights - white surrounded by red - began flashing and moving in his direction. As soon as the flashing began the dog seemed frightened. Whining, repeatedly bumping his legs and jumping up to push on his chest. When the object was almost directly overhead the lights changed to all white and flashing sequentially from rear to front. At that point a soft gold color glow defined the edges, giving him the shape he tried to illustrate. The object silently continued east until lost behind a stand of trees. As soon as the object was out of sight the dog made a short huffing sound, looked at him for a moment, then, seeing no reaction, calmly went home. He noticed something else. He has raccoons in his attic space. They are usually active from dusk til dawn. At that time it was strangely quiet up there - an hour after the event. (MUFON CMS) Source of report indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

After trying to rule out any rational explanation, several more appeared and they hovered. Some would burn brighter, and others would change colours. They would disappear and reappear over the span of two hours. Also noticed dark blue lights after filming the sighting. They seemed to be in a U pattern. It was very dark over the lake, so I didn’t notice the blue lights with my own eyes, luckily my camera captured it. They also would dim out and light up. Very interesting to watch.

Bright light moving from south to north in the east sky rapidly with extremely sudden very very very short stops occasionally, brighter than a star w no blinking lights. Yelled for a friend and he couldn’t believe his eyes. We watched until it went out of sight. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

This sighting was made by my wife and daughter. As I approached them in my truck, they were looking and pointing to the sky. I pulled up alongside and my daughter was wondering about a small dot of light in the sky was doing. Both ladies were observing it moving around in a small area of the sky near an “aging” airplane contrail. The contrail was actually providing a reference as it moved along, and across it, and seemed to be making some right-angle moves at times. I was attempting to see what they were seeing, but not able to do so. (I was actually mistakenly looking at for the object along the wrong contrail—there were 2 fairly close together and parallel in the sky and the one that I needed to be looking at was higher up, and the roof of my truck was blocking the correct one). I reached under the seat and handed my daughter my binoculars. She described it as “round” and either “spinning or pulsating” at about 1 second intervals. (Still a fairly small dot even with the binoculars). I was frustrated because I couldn’t see it, but was looking about 10 degrees of arc in the wrong area). She watched for about 5-10 minutes until it faded from view as it headed south. (From the angle in the sky, it would have been probably over the Veradale or Liberty Lake area).

While conducting a CE-5 contact attempt, spotted a round white light that did a "flare-up" as I watched, then went dark. Second later, same thing, 25 degrees across the sky, repeated. Occurred 11 o'clock high, almost verticle over my position. No photos captured, happened too fast.

Two very bright and large circular objects spotted in the western sky in close proximity to each other. The objects were much too large, bright, and circular to be stars, planets, or aircrafts. The two objects, over the course of an hour moved fairly rapidly in opposition directions. As they moved away from each other, they got smaller and dimmer until they completely disappeared.

At about 6:30 PM myself and 4 others witnessed two very bright white lights in the sky to the Southwest. These two objects moved very little in the beginning and when they did they stayed parallel to one another. A couple times in the duration of watching them they moved further apart and closer together, yet stayed a mirror image to each other in formation. At times they appeared to have a slight color variation, ranging from yellow, to blue, to green, to red, to purple. Now at about 15 minutes into our sighting, I was able to look through a a scope and see each of them at different times much closer and clearer. Though they were both definitely different objects they were similar in appearance. Using the scope I determined the general shape of each object was actually round. To me they looked like a bubble such as kids play with. I had difficulty holding the scope still enough until about 45 minutes later when I had a solid surface I could actually see up close what appeared to be a myriad of individual white lights flashing on the craft! At about this time my neck could take no more as the object I was focusing on was almost directly overhead now and it was getting dark. By the time I was able to come back stars were out and I could no longer locate the objects.

It was a pretty big, much bigger than a star. It was circular shape and was completely white with faint colors trailing after it. (The colors were a mix of purple, pink, blue, and green. Maybe a little bit of yellow or orange.) It appeared out of thin air and was moving in a straight line for around 2-3 seconds. Maybe 4 seconds but I doubt it. It disappeared after a few moments.

I was standing outside looking up at the stars just passed 9:30 pm While I was doing so I seen a red light the size and britness of a star move across the sky west of me at approximately 75 degrees up moving to the North. I say it took about 5 seconds to move approximately 3 feet before it vanished.

Saw a craft very high in the sky that was white at first and then turned red. It wasn't a jet or flight because it traveled vertically. Also, it left behind no trails when moving like smoke. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

As I stepped out the front door to observe three deer grazing in my front yard, movement in the sky caught my eye. A solid orange circular object having the appearance of a glowing ember was traveling southwest to northeast approximately 30° above the horizon. It made no sound and maintained a constant rate of speed. The brightness was unchanged as well. I could not ascertain the size or distance of the phenomenon. Also, the altitude seemed steady and the flight path was perpendicular to the ground. This was not a meteor. I'm a bit of a skywatcher and enjoy the meteor showers. This did not burn up or dissipate and the path was not consistent with a meteor.

My aunt is not a nut case, I’m a none believer, but I have to believe her. She saw 3 round objects that were hovering & changing colors. And then she heard Something land near her, got scared and ran in her house. Checked it out the next day and the grass was discolored. I just thought I should report this to someone, my Aunt is the most solid mentally strong Person I know. If you knew her as I do, you would have to believe her also. To recap: 3 objects hovering over neighbors home and then something landing with a Whipping noise, siting lasted approximately :20.

On hwy 108. Me and one female was driving and saw two round white moving objects flying low in sky. We continued to drive and noticed how much lower that the flying objects got before flying back up and disappearing in the clouds. I won't forget the confused state both of us was in, it's unexplainable. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

There were 8 circle flying objects hovering in sky black color in a w formation with no sound and no lights no symbols the size of the objects are close to a foot long in diameter. They got closer just above the trees height and moving side ways to the right and I got scared and took off with my son. I got a very short footage and clearly you can see them in sky in a distinct formation.

On August 25th, 2018, at around 2 PM Mountain Time I observed an object in the sky over NE Albuquerque. The object appeared to be silver reflective or translucent and round in shape. It was very still in the sky despite wind gusts of 10 to 15 miles per hour from the south. I noticed the object was at a higher altitude than the clouds, so I would guess it was sitting at about 15,000 to 17,000 feet. I grabbed my digital camera and took video and photographs of the object and I also observed it through a small portable telescope. I was unable to identify exactly what it was.
