I don't want to sound crazy, I saw multiple very bright objects, much like meteors traveling very fast from the north to the south west sky, i did not hear any sound, the sun was too bright to follow them, some of the objects created something like a flying ribbon effect, there were airplanes flying nearby at a lower altitude than the objects, I did not have a camera to take pictures I really don't know what this is.

Over the last two weeks we have observed several stationary objects, that rapidly flash lights. The colors appear to be Red,Blue and White. It mostly resembles a police with it lights on. The objects are stationary and visible for hours. These have been witnessed by myself and my girlfriend on several occasions now. I also was telling a family member about them a night prior while in Byron MN and we were able to find one in the sky at that location as well. The flashing colors and stationary position are obvious. There are lots of aircraft that pass where I live due to MPLS international Airport being close. I first noticed one about 2 weeks ago and as I grew more sky aware and curiousity have observed up to 4 at one time over the different nights. There is currently one to the north of my location as I type it. It is why I'm reaching out. I found a video on youtube of a news casts that describes these similar objects as well. I have included that link ! to better describe exactly what we have been observing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pijFz88PxL0

I'm a Marine Sergeant, while being posted for the Boot Camp Challenge held in MArine Corp Recruiting Depot this morning I looked up at the sky and saw 3 perfectly spaced orbs flying horizontally flickering and moving at a fast pace and then slowing down dramatically. At one point the front orbed moved to the back and the other two starting swaying up and down right next to it in the same pattern. Before they disappeared they started shuffling from positions to positions and and then traveled higher in the sky. Now I understand the airport is right next to the installation and planes are constantly flying around the area, but there wasn't no blinking FAA lights to them which military jets also have. Being a recruit training site there is no UAV operations being conducted there and no 3 pilots whether UAV or manned can pilot the way these orbs were traveling. I was always a skeptic until this morning and I seriously apologize to all those that believed before me.

Lubbock, TX
To the north west. A single unmoving spot. Larger than a star and seams to be rotating. The color is changing steadily. Witness corrects time to 2026 hrs. Also, he comments that the local news reported the object to be a helium-filled balloon, possibly a weather balloon. PD

Festus, MO
I came outside to smoke and saw a light and didn't think much of it but it got closer and stopped when i leaned to the left it mimicked my movements exactly. Thats when i noticed 3 others a big dark yellow light that moved a small white light and a small orange light above they seemed to stay in certain areas and didn't leave those spots. The orange one seemed like it dropped something from behind i saw a bright flash and a second later a big bang. The small white one vanished completely and the orange one moved straight above me while the white one continued to observe me at a distance i tried to signal it to come closer but it moved away a bit and came back and then another white light came into view and was moving around. After about an hour and half of watching them my brother came out and we heard some kind of creature roar/growl at us and it sounded huge we could hear it walking and branches snapping it moved around a lot and it roared again. It sounde! d like it was calling someone and in the distance we heard another one. After that last roar we ran inside because it was close very close and i attempted to take a picture of the mimicking light and my phone went crazy the light started turning on and off the clolor schemes on the camera started changing really fast and then the creature roared again and i got scared and ran inside turned off the lights and locked the door and it vanished the lights didn't though they continued to observe my house and my neighbors.

Pulsating red blue and green lights changing to bright white and covering huge distances in the sky in the blink of an eye leaving a light streak as it snapped across the sky. It moved in huge circular patterns and at one point shot verticly down in the sky about 4 inches faster than i could process its movement. The onject also discharged a greenish light ray which was seen by all witnesses. It remained for about 15 minutes and would switch between being solitary and fast unnaturally quick movements

Denver, CO
I was at 11th and Speer in Denver. I saw an object. It had 3 lights, red and green... Moved around erratically like a kite...At first I thought it was like an RC craft of some sort. But then it moved away at least 2km and came back rather rapidly and finally sped away at least 600kts so that couldn't have been the case. Also it was totally silent but maybe it made a sort of hissing noise at the point when it was closest to me (maybe it was like 400 meters away at that time).

Arlington, TN
9/23/2014 at 8:27 (looked at the clock) I was sitting in the driveway facing an eastward direction, I leaned forward and noticed a light kinda like a spotlight shining around in the sky. Then the light, which was a blue-ish color, shined directly in my direction for split second, then swung upwards and went black. I opened the door got out to look and nothing, gone, no sounds or anything. Ok, I know it was NOT a helicopter, they don't normally climb to commercial jet altitude, which is about where this was, say about 30-35,000 feet. It wasn't a reflection off the windshield, I tried to recreate it just in case and couldn't. It wasn't a commercial jet, I see those all the time, it wasn't a satellite, I see them too. I cant explain what that was. I tried to scan the area afterwards to see if I could detect any movement without lights but I didn't see anything.

Butler, NJ
Shortly after 21:00 hours, I noticed a reddish light in the sky north of my house. Thinking it missionary. Mars, I went in to get binoculars. When I looked through the binoculars I saw a red flashing light, a white pulsating light and possibly a blue and/or green light I was not able to discern a shape. I watched for nearly 15 minutes and the object remained stationary. I went into the house for a couple of minutes and the object had disappeared when I went back out.

I finished giving my dog a bath outside in the front yard and I looked up in the sky and there is a object with blue and red lights flashing really fast. I heard a helicopter in the distance, but when the sound went away and the object was still in the sky, I knew it was not a helicopter. The movement that the object was making was not of a helicopter or plane. I left my home to follow it, and when I got to a close enough location it disappeared and appeared on the other side of the street in different colors. Now it was flashing green and yellow lights. It dropped below the tree line and didn't appear again. Possible hoax, we wonder. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. Hence, we are unable to invite the individual to forward the photographic evidence to our Center, which he/she has not done. PD

After 4 hours of it hovering in the same spot a second object identical to the first one appears, they both disappear without a trace around the 6 hour mark, most bazaar thing I've ever seen in my life. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Omaha, NE
We saw a low traveling dark red light moving slowly from west to south for 7 mins, the object slowed down to almost a stop and then faded out. The object had no strobes or landing light, it was a consistent red color until it faded out. Witness provides no contact information. We have changed the time, to reflect a nighttime sighting. Possible hoax, we wonder. PD

Bothell, WA
At about 22:45 in Bothell, WA, I was on my back deck and saw numerous objects (I believe 6) fly overhead. They had no lights but were clearly visible I'm assuming due to the city lights below. They looked silverish-gray but that is probably the city light reflecting off them. They were in a "V" formation. One in front, two directly behind the first, and 3 behind the two. The row with three, the one on the far right was off centered however. Appeared to be pulling away from the others but I can't be sure as I only saw the objects for a few seconds before they went over the tree line. There was no sound at all. I cannot give an exact altitude but I'm guessing 1000-2000 feet due to the speed across the sky. Basically west to East. If they were at 10,000 feet they would have been the size of jumbo jets and going at least mach 4 or 5 so my assumption is much lower altitude. Again, no sound at all which is not possible if it was a low-flying (or high flying) formation of jets. I cannot guarantee they were separate objects as it's a pitch black night sky, but it appeared they were, as one was out of formation. My first thought was maybe a big drone but the speed was too fast and the off-centeredness does not make sense. I'm sure others saw what I saw too as it's a populated area. Very strange and never seen anything like it. ((CORRECTION FROM WITNESS)) Sorry it was 22:45 (10:45 pm)...give or take 10 mins ((END CORRECTION)) ((2ND CORRECTION FROM WITNESS)) Sorry it was 9/20. A few hours before I sent the email. I live by an International airport and within 25 miles of two Boeing airports so I see a lot of aircraft flying around. Also seen Blue Angels many of times and it did look like an Angel formation, very close together. But if what I saw was military aircraft, judging by the size they would have been around 10,000 feet, flying very fast and there would have been sound. Was completely silent. ((END CORRECTION)) We suspect that report is a hoax. Date is flawed, and source has failed to respond to our e-mailed messages. We have changed the date. PD

Helena, MT
Object was very bright flashing white, gold, green and red lights. Sometimes it seemed like the the object was spinning because the lights would rotate and flash. It was a clear night and object was brighter than stars in the sky. Slow moving east to west high over valley north of the city. Object moved erratically: bobbed up/down, back and forth. I observed the object with binoculars. There were stars out but they were very dim. This object was bright and flashing. Twice it seemed like there were aircraft circling the object since it was getting near the Helena Regional Airport. Since this observation I have seen it two more nights 9/30 and 10/1. On 10/1, I contacted a friend north of town in the valley and she independently observed the object. Since there were clouds, the object seemed to be obscured and observation time was only 30-40 minutes.

Was hovering just above the tree line then shot straight up right above me. It had two red and green non blinking lights. We observed it for three minutes then it slowly moved out of view.

Shenzhen (China) · China
I was taking a puff at my apartment balcony at 20/Sep/2014 time between 7.45pm. Location China, Shenzhen near Cocopark. First place, I thought it was satellite, but after 2 min, it change color, so i took my mobile photo to take a photo and still unable to see it clear, so I went into my room and get a digital camera with only 24X Zoom. I can confirm is not a toy as it is above cloud level, as I can see cloud passes by and the light reappear. This is not the first time I saw it about 6 weeks, again about 2am, I saw it on my left hand side which is a golf field it also stay and unmove for more then 10 to 15 minutes. Video and photo can be send to you to check.

Chandler, AZ
While driving north on Cooper Road, my daughter and I witnessed four objects in the sky with fire trailing behind them. The objects seemed to be travelling back and forth, and each time they changed direction, the fire trail subsided, as if the object was changing direction and we could not see the exhaust at that time. This gave the appearance that the four objects would randomly disappear, and then reappear nearby. The objects seemed to be descending, zigzagging in the same area of the sky. In just a few minutes, they disappeared. All we could really see was the fire trails, or exhaust plumes of the objects. Something was obviously leaving fire trails, as they appeared very thick at the source of the trail and thin at the rear of the trail as it burned out. This area of the sky commonly has aircraft passing by, since Sky Harbor airport is nearby. We could see the light of jets as well, but those were MUCH higher in the sky and further away. These fire trails seemed less than 5,000 feet in the air, and less than 10 miles away from our location. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Melbourne, FL
I saw what looked like an aircraft at the first sight. It has a very bright light and was heading straight towards my apartment complex. The lights were so bright that my eyes were getting irritated even though it wast that close. It was slow at first, then gained altitude, gained speed and flew away. It had a trail of yellow light behind it.

Valrico, FL
Huge humming sound only audible if outside. Not the sound of a plane or jet. More of a vacuum hum. Clouds covered what was making it with a slight orange glow to the clouds. After ten minutes the clouds and orange glow disappeared. If I were to imagine what a spacecraft sounded like, that would be it.

Maynard, MA
The light started to move East down Waltham Street for no more than 2000 feet, and reversed direction back over the Fire Station, towards Stow Mass. I drove in the same direction but lost sight of the object. The object was small in size like a helicopter but silent. The blue light was intense and could not make out what the craft shape was. It was definitely not a helicopter or small plane, nor was it an ultralight. Entire event was less than 5 minutes, before losing sight of the object.

Marksville, LA
My friends were outside leaving, when they ran in my house, letting me know that there was an entire fleet of ufo's flying very low, about 30 of them in a single line formation, the first 20 or so were silent and only the last few were heard. They all had green, blue and a few had red lights in a triangle shape. It was astonishing.

Derry, NH
My daughter was driving down Cemetery Road at about 7:20 this morning. She took a right onto Island Pond Road in Derry, NH, after passing the fields on either side of the road, she noticed two hot air balloons floating along up above her to the right of her car. She quickly shot two pictures through her windshield. The first showed one balloon, a large yellow balloon with a smile face on one side of the balloon above the tree line from the angle she shot the picture at. The second picture she took a moment later shows two hot air balloons, the large yellow smile face one and a multi-colored balloon with white designs, what seems to be a cloud still higher up above the multi-colored balloon and two shiny circles above and to the right of the smile hot air balloon. There is also what seems to be a double vapor trail and two white shapes which could be clouds to the far right in the upper corner of the picture; it's a bit hard to tell. When she sent the picture to me from her smart phone, I was able to use the touch screen to enlarge the picture and it looks like the two large white circles are lights with a rectangular gray colored shape behind the bright lighted circles. There is nothing else near it and we are both baffled as to what this could be. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS, 23SE14)) Peter, One more quick note. Daughter took a series of pics in the same spot this morning. You are correct. She got the double reflection. It didn't look exactly the same but it was close enough. Best regards. ((name deleted)) ((END ADDENDUM)) Possible reflection from glass in front of camera?? We suspect that the object is not an alien space craft, but we cannot be sure. PD
