Tualatin, OR

Triangle pattern of large, round reddish-pink lights with intermittent yellow/green edges flying slowly east to west. Either 7 or 9 lights - didn't look like "light bulbs" - more like light shining out of round holes in bottom of craft. Pulsing, slightly electronic machine sound. I am a 55 year old, college educated, moderately conservative female.

Granite Falls, WA

Approx. 5 minutes after our power went out at 7:00 PM, I was sitting on our back deck looking due east, 45 degrees to the horizon, night was clear when I noticed up behind a popular tree in the back yard one, then six other lights. Each lighting up one by one from left to right in the shape of a "v" with a bluish-green hue. The lights all went solid, "blinked", went solid again then disappeared entirely. In comparison to the stars in the sky, the lights were approximately three times that size. The power came back on about ten minutes after the sighting.

Yeppoon, QUEENSLA · Australia

I was driving home from work the sun was going down it was around 5:30pm I remember that I wanted to get home and it was getting dark. I saw it in my car driving towards the roundabout. I stopped at the roundabout on the roundabout on the side road to look at it I was not the only car that stopped a white car pulled over on the other side of the road to look at large black triangle ufo with 6 green shining lights hovering over the tree line. I took photo of it and drove straight home. But the photo came out really blurry and you could not really see it. Than that saturday I went surfing out bush and when i was walking the dirt path to get to the beach, their was dead animal smell but no dead animals. I then heard a roar in bushes like a tiger or lion, but I live in Australia and know that is impossible but i felt cold tingling and the feeling that if I stayed any longer in that area I would dead. Where I was going is a large national park where the locals can surf near a very large beach. During this time I lived near the ocean at seaside town. I just think these two incidents are related in someway

Erie, PA

While in my backyard looking north towards lake Erie, a large triangular shaped formation of faint lights was traveling from west to east. The formation moved silently as it passed by, blocking out the stars behind it and the very large size of the object became apparent. There was another string of lights traveling with it that may have been a second triangular object partially blocked by the main triangular formation.

Cedar Falls, IA

. Approx 9:00 PM or 21 hundred hours. Clear evening, no clouds, temps in the mid 30's. Went out to have a smoke and noticed a movement to my right peripheral side vision in the star filled sky. Saw what appeared as a fuzzy outline of a V-formation, or triangle craft. Hard to discern it as it appeared slightly lighter then the dark background sky, fuzzy edges with a translucent appearance. Very difficult to see unless looking right at it. No lights, no sound and its glide path was to the East SouthEast. Watched it for 7-8 seconds before it faded from view. Speed looked like around 250 MPH at say 3000 feet altitude, just a guess thou as I could not tell its size. When first overhead it would have been the size of my hand at arm's length. Object did not reflect from the moon that evening and for a lack of better words, appeared to cloak itself somehow to the background. Very strange. I had my cell phone out however there was not enough time to capture it as ! I was wondering what it was in the first place. I am knowledgeable in earth sciences, all known aircraft and consider myself an amateur astronomer. It matched the dark sky so much, I doubt a photo would have shown it unless during the day. Intend to build an Infrared video array now, I want some substantial answers..................

Ames, IA

Saw a V-shaped or triangular-shaped object “gliding” in the sky at 20:30 in Ames. It had a dark body outline with lights (hard to distinguish if the lights were underneath the body or glowing from inside the body if it was translucent). The lights were pretty dim (pinkish-yellowish-peachish) but interestingly, they followed that V-shaped body pattern. There was no noise, which is why I used the term gliding, and it was going at a decent pace. The background was a clear night sky in Iowa with temperatures ~0 degree Celsius.

Pune · India

I was on a way to Mall with my wife on two wheeler when my wife saw the flying body and screamed what is it, when i looked i could see two the lights at corner (covering some space of the corner of triangle, they were yellow in color and it was about 500 ft above the ground i think and was huge, it was making a sound and was moving very slowly than a plane would move at that height, I tried to records but camera quality of my cell phone being bad i could not see the lights in my camera, however i think it should have captured it. it was more like hovering and moving instead flying, it was moving in a curved path. Shape was Triangle and it was dark, very dark indeed and how did i figure it out it was triangle is because it was having yellow lights at two corners not the third one, Lights were spaced apart and were somewhat in an angular shape so i could just figure out it was in a triangle shape.

Cleveland, GA

I gauged the movement from between two power lines. It only moved slightly over but did change positions for me to see a triangle shape to a line of changing color lights, which included white, green/blue, orange/red. As I saw the triangle shape, I could only see white lights at each tip. However, when it turned sideways, I could see a variety of colors but they did not have a certain changing pattern. I took pictures from my iPhone, in which you can see the change in positions but the phone couldn't pick up the change in color due to the distance.

Wichita, KS

At first I thought it was just a plane. As I am in the flight path of McConnell afb, Jabara Airport, and the Beech Aircraft factory. Yet this made no sound. What got me was the triangle did a complete rotation counter clock wise yet never changed direction. Then disappeared behind a house moving west. I have been around aircraft my whole life. Living in Wichita, you see planes everyday. I've never seen anything like this EVER! The lights on the object were not bright. (Dimmer than most visible stars) No strobes or anything. Never in my life would I have ever thought I would see something like this.

Nashville, TN

Hi, My brother and I saw something fly over our house on November 19th at approximately 11:45/11:55 pm CT. It was in the shape of a huge triangle. It was one dark solid object and, If I had to guess, I'd say there were 5 to 6 round shaped lights on each side. The lights were a yellowish/orange color, kinda the same as streetlights. The lights didn't blink at all (like you would expect to see on airplane's). Either it was military or something local/something to do with Christmas...? Idk (I doubt). It was flying in the northwest direction. This object made no noise whatsoever. If you wasn't looking up at exactly the right time, you most likely wouldn't have seen it. I was just wondering if anyone in middle Tennessee area had seen the same thing? Or anyone at all in the southeast? Just curious! If so, I would like to be contacted via e-mail if possible. Thanks.

Chardon, OH

Low-flying triangular object seen slowing flying east over Chardon, Ohio, at 7:20 p.m. on November 17, 2015. White lights outlined the triangular craft with a red blinking light in the center. It made a sound in the atmosphere like an airplane, but it was flying too slow to be a plane. Drone? Military aircraft? Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Horseheads, NY

I was driving South on Route 14 in Horseheads when I saw three triangular shaped red lights hovering in the South East (over Elmira Heights). I pulled off the road to watch, the three sets of red lights were hovering in a triangular pattern. I could see that they were three distinct objects, they were not hovering perfectly still. The light to the West started to break from the formation and its lights went out. The other two objects remained hovering in their original locations for another five minutes. The lights to the East then started to break formation and the lights went out. After another minute the final and central set of lights went out. The lights were too large to have been helicopters, their formation was too precise as well, and there was no sound of helicopter blades, they would have had to have been the largest helicopters on Earth. The objects were too large to have been planes at that height and I have not seen a plane that can hov! er in place the way these were hovering. The red lights on each object were not flashing and did not look like lights on planes. I called a friend in the next town over to ask if they could see the lights in the valley, unfortunately they could not. I continued to explain to them what I was seeing for the entirety of the event.

Reno, NV

I can confirm previously reported sighting of triangular shaped object that was either incredibly massive at higher altitudes or around the width of a football field at lower altitudes. It was completely silent and moved NNW from view until a single story building obscured the view. Object was completely dark, only visible by the triangular shape of the stars being blotted out as it moved beneath them. This was not a small triangle from my vantage point. If I held out my hand at arm's length and spread out my fingers, all three corners of the triangle would protrude very noticeably from the outline of my hand. Triangle was perfect-edged, with no discernible features (such as those found on a stealth bomber). Movement was slow and steady with no variability in altitude discernible. Spooky.

Reno, NV

Saw a dark triangular aircraft or ufo gliding silently, slowly, and without any lights, maybe 300-400 feet up, and the thing disappeared mid-air. Reno has got some super stealth stuff they are testing that can SILENTLY and VERY SLOWLY traverse the skies at very low altitudes and cloak itself into invisibility, or it was a ufo.

Carroll, IA

Saturday night, November 15th, 2015, 19:40 pm - Carroll, IA. I was standing outside in a residential neighborhood close to the business district on crisp fall night facing east. I caught a glimpse of something in the sky about 10-15 degrees above the horizon through some power/phone lines and over the buildings a block away. The sky was pitch black, but only a few stars visible due to the city light pollution. A very clear night regardless, no overcast or clouds to speak of. I've never seen anything like this in the sky before, and my eyes don't lie. I have always had perfect 20/20 vision my entire life, I do a lot of hunting and feel like my keen sense of sight has always been one of my greatest attributes in the field. Being able to detect the slightest movement in any environment, sometimes distant has never been something I've struggled with. I spotted something, quickly in 1/2 a second my eye keened in on the movement. At first I thought it was just a plane. In the next moment I knew this wasn't a plane, or commercial airline. I can't rule out that it might have been some military or government aircraft, but if it was, it was pretty damn impressive; top secret stealth kind of impressive. The sky was so dark all around the object. And the object didn't have any lights, not as most every other plane or jet I've seen in the skies. Clearly it was the shape of a triangle, at least the leading two edges were, which came to a point and pointed in the direction of flight. It headed on a path from north to south as I watched in the eastern sky over town. Carroll is appx. 10,000 in population, not a huge town, but pretty well lit at night. I was standing in the central part of town, and would say that craft had to have been flying just over the eastern out skirts of town, maybe 3-4 miles away and low flying. I'm not sure exactly but I'd have to say it was flying somewhere around 1,000 to 2,000 feet, it looked close. The object was black, matching the night sky. It was meant to be undetectable, like a stealth spy plane, I guess. But it looked completely out of place, flying low over small town Iowa like that, and cruising along silently. The color of the object matched the background sky, but because of my location relative to the object and the city lights below, I could see the slightest reflection from town on the bottom side of the craft. It was big, but again very difficult to estimate it's size, possibly B-2 Bomber size, possibly bigger. All I could see was what appeared to be a slight reflection of city light on the leading edges of this triangle shape, gliding through the sky, effortlessly, and without a sound that I could hear. If I were to illustrate the sighting, it would be a black page with the slightest bit of light visible on the leading edges of the triangle. There was no tail to the object, at least not that I could see the difference between it and the night sky. As I watched through that first two seconds I thought, I need to grab someone inside to witness this with me. And before I could even put my hand on the door handle, to call for someone, it abruptly vanished with a fade to black. I kept tracking it anyway, hoping I'd get another look at it, but did not. This all happened in around 4 seconds time. I kept my eyes on it for those brief few seconds until it vanished. I reported this because it shook me up when I saw it. If it is one of our top secret planes, I can't imagine why it would be flying around there and especially that low. I was lucky enough to catch the light of the city on the bottom of it as it passed by town for about 4 seconds. Whoever's plane or craft it is, they don't want anyone to see it, and it did an amazing job and being undetectable. I'm not positive, but I'd imagine I could have heard a jet or plane from that range pretty easily even through the white noise of the town, but I didn't. And that is what makes me wonder what exactly that was. By reporting this I also hope to learn if anyone else saw this in Carroll that night as well. It would be great for one story to back another, and to know that I wasn't the only one who saw this strange sight. Report was originally posted for November 15, 2015. However, Saturday night was November 14, and we have amended the date. The correction will appear at our next update. We apologize for the error! PD

I was working and happen to look up at the sky. Saw an V shape and thought it was a flock of geese but it was moving too fast. There was no sound at all plus a white squidly line that formed the V shape and the rest was transparent.

Wyoming, MI

As I was leaving home for work, I walked out the side door facing south. It was a very clear night, and I often stop to observe the stars. Then right above the tree line, I saw this object, which consisted of multiple lights in a V-shape. It was silent, but moving very swiftly from west to east. My mind was racing, right away trying to reason it out . . . It's not a plane nor is it mutiple planes flying in unison . . . The lights were an orange-ish hue, steady and fairly dim, not blinking or flashing. I am certain it was a single object. What struck me was the high rate of speed yet there was absolute silence.

Plaquemine, LA

We kept watching and about 10 more flew over in about an hour criss crossing like they were patrolling the area.. We assumed that they were military, but the movements were so quick and unlike anything we had seen before. Even after looking for YouTube videos we could not find any that compare. If it was military, we haven't been told of this technology. May have something to do with terror attack in Paris hours before sighting.
