Kemah, TX
After about 15 seconds I asked the people I was with what it was, but only one person saw it. The object made a quick zig zag and disappeared. The object either had "legs" or there were a few crafts flying together, and the outside crafts vibrated or shook while the middle didn't. The object flew continuously, methodically, clearly and then poof disappeared.

Raleigh, NC
While driving on I-40 from Raleigh to Chapel Hill, my family and I (both parents and my brother) and witnessed multiple objects flying relatively low, utterly soundless. Opaque darkness obscured stars above the area between lights; one object was a triangular shape and one was a slightly arced line. The lights were a burnt orange color, quite bright and steady, and lasted for 3-5 minutes. We first saw the lights from a distance and drove directly under them and they disappeared from view a couple of minutes after we passed.

Ormond Beach, FL
I went to let the dog out and looked up into the sky to see a burning object flying across the sky moving from west to east. I ran into the house to get my son, who came out to witness it. It appeared to move faster than a plane and not as fast a falling star. It was a glowing flame that was orangish in color. I saw it for a total of 45 seconds and my son saw it for 15 seconds. The glowing flame just disappeared and seemed to burn out. Source indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Possibly advertising lights for Thanksgiving shopping. We suspect the date above is wrong, so we have changed it to reflect a sighting in November. The witness provides no contact information. PD

Santa Fe, NM
I was at a hotel resort which was slightly north of Santa Fe and directly east of los almos national laboratories. I walked out the door, which face to the south. When i looked up in the sky in a southern direction is saw four circular shaped crafts which were kind of blurred in a cloudy haze. The objects had a faint white glow to them. The objects flew in a very ordered pattern. I can best describe them flying on a "flower pedal' path. All the objects would fly to the center and shoot out and loop back around to the center and do it again and again. When I saw this i immediately showed my brother and he saw it also. I went to go show my parents, but by the time they looked the lights faint glowing objects were very difficult to see and almost disappeared.

San Diego, CA
Me and some of my family members were on a San Diego bay/harbor cruise in the San Diego bay. Shortly after the boat departed I saw this strange, multi-colored, ribbon like object slowly moving over the Downtown San Diego skyline. It seemed to be attached to a red-orange ball like object. I told my family members and they all saw it. Some other people on the boat may have seen it. The object was traveling at about 10 miles per hour. I watched it for about 5 minutes onto it disappeared beyond the horizon. I took several photos on an IPad mini and I will be emailing one to you.

Jennings, LA
I never really thought to report this until I heard something on the radio last week about UFO’s which made me recall this to memory. The more I got to thinking about it, I decided to look up someone to report it to. It appears the Air Force on longer takes reports, but I found your website in the process. Rather than calling this a UFO, I would have to call it just a plain UO for “Unidentified Occurance”. To this day, this remains the most unexplainable thing that I’ve ever witnessed. I guess what I’m hoping to gain out of reporting this is to hear there was more than one person who witnessed the same thing. On Wednesday, November 26, 2014, at about 8:00 AM, my wife and I were traveling west bound on I-10 near Jennings, LA. Unfortunately, my wife was asleep, which means I was the only one to witness it. As I remember, it was cool weather with a perfectly clear blue sky. The best way to describe what I saw would be a hole in the sky that closed in on itself and disappeared. From what I can remember, the hole was not symmetrical, but of an oval shape with somewhat of a jagged boarder. The inner part of the hole was a pinkish color which was a definite contrast to the surrounding blue sky. The outer border was very distinct like an extremely bright light breaking through a crack between the blue sky and the pinkish color of the inner part. It took me a few seconds to comprehend what I was looking at when I finally started telling my wife to wake up. By the time she opened her eyes and I was able to direct her to what I was looking at, the hole disappeared. It’s hard for me to describe a size on it since it was in the sky, but I would say it was like looking at a nonsymmetrical oval roughly 1-3/4” long by about 1-1/2” high at a distance of about 12 to 14 inches from my face. In other words, it wasn’t taking up very much space in the sky. When it disappeared, it was as though it sucked itself into nothing until it was gone. I would say it wasn’t any more than about 10 seconds from the time I first saw it until it disappeared.

New York City (Brooklyn), NY
I was on my way to work. 1 object, flashing lights, could not see body of object. It did not move like conventional aircraft. It moved from north to south. I thought it was a helicopter but copters don't move the way this did. The lights where blinking white and blue.

Sterling, VA
I left the car and start walking to the store, when I decided to look at the sky and I saw this vertical line that looks like fire (red color) falling from the sky. Was like see the tale ((sic. tail)) of a meteorite. The weird is that this was the second time in less than 5 days that I saw this in the sky, and in a different city. It was next to the new moon of that day, until I went inside the store, and that was still there.

Swirling lights seem to be chasing one another as they followed me down the highway along I-55 for a period of about 4 to 5 miles. They seemed to slighty change in color, from time to time. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) it was around 6:30 pm im sure other motorist saw them as they too where slowing to watch. my son was able to watch the whoe thing while i was driving. ((END ADDENDUM))

Chantilly, VA
While i was driving in the 28 in south direction, I saw in the sky two (2) vertical lines that looks like fire (red color) falling from the sky. Was like see a double tale of a meteorite. I kept looking at it while I could because of the traffic jam, and after 5 minutes I had to keep driving, but was still there.

Shinnston, WV
November 20, 2014. My sister and I were driving toward Clarksburg WV, on US-19 about 2 miles outside of Shinnston, WV. It was around 19:30 when I saw the lights out in the distance. I noticed two white lights above a hill. They looked like headlights. It was about as high as a cell tower. I thought it might be for a while because the lights were staying in one place. Something didn’t seem quite right with it. I pointed it out to my sister. She agreed it didn’t look right. We became transfixed on this light. It was hard to concentrate on driving. We rounded a turn and the lights are now on our right. We’re both staring at these lights suspended above the hill. We are now about a mile from where we first saw the lights. Then the object started moving. It flew over the road to our left an unknown distance in front of us. We began to feel uneasy. As it flew over the road something came out of the object. It looked like a fireball. It was attached to the object because any move the object made it did too, but it never returned to the object. The object turned back toward us and flew directly over us. I had my window down with my head halfway out the window, and I couldn’t make out any shape to the object. The radio was off, and I couldn’t hear any sound coming from the object. I opened the moonroof of the truck and my sister got a very good look at the lights, and she said that she couldn’t make out anything on it either. It was like it was there, but not. It’s something that I can’t quite find the words to describe. I went and turned around at a diner that was right up the road. When we came back it was gone. We dismissed it as probably an airplane, and we were overreacting. We went into town and got what we needed. On the way back, we used I-79N to Fairmont. There was a small plane that was trying to line up for landing at the North Central West Virginia Airport. It flew over the interstate and made a sharp turn similar to that the object made earlier. This is when the differences in the two became apparent. One, the plane had a lot more lights than the object had earlier in the night. The plane had red and green lights that were clearly visible. Two, the plane was faster than our object. Finally, the plane’s turn was nothing like our object’s turn. The plane didn’t have the maneuverability the object did. When he plane turned it banked to one side. Whereas, our object stayed on a flat plane the entire time. The plane went a great distance to make a turn. Ours made the turn in an instant. It moved much more gracefully than the plane did. I don’t know what I saw. I do know that the object was less than 500 feet above us, and neither of us could make out any shape to the object. I also know that whatever came out of the object didn’t appear to go back to the object. I don’t know what it was or if there is physical evidence out there. There is a public trail over there. I plan to go out this weekend to search for anything that might have come down.

Sulphur, OK
It was v shape. Huge in size it had 8-9 lights they were dim. It was see through like you are looking through a glass. It moved super fast. It had moved from position from straight up and down where I could see how huge it was to flat. It started over the north west side of my house over the highway over my neighbors house and then went behind tree toward my southeast direction .

Washington, MA
This morning around 9:10 AM, a very large object was crossing the sky at a high altitude, floating very quickly from south to north. Object appeared as black and was shaped like a deflated hot air balloon. I looked through binoculars, but still couldn't identify what the object was or how it was being propelled. Winds were SSW 10 MPH around the Becket, MA, Berkshire County area. I was wondering if anyone else saw this thing, other than my wife and I?

Santee, CA
After visiting with friends on the Barona Rez followed by a visit to the casino, my friend and I headed for home around 5:30 am. While I drove through Santee, (52 freeway headed west ), I noticed what looked like liquid fire hanging from what appeared to be a stationary light, (looked like a star only this was not that high off the ground). I grabbed my friends arm made sure she saw it too. (We couldn't come up with anything to explain what we were seeing) There was a light in the sky, not moving, and hanging off of that light was a large drop of fire (if that makes any sense). It stretched until it broke free and then fell towards the ground. Then more fire replaced that fire but this time in much smaller drops that fell quicker and in groups as well as by themselves. It was so weird. As I got onto the 125 I was facing the action again for a brief moment and even though I figured it was over I not only saw more fire falling from that light, I also now saw! fire globs dropping off of nothing. At least I couldn't see the fire attached to any light or any other object.....probably the weirdest and most undeniable strange event I have ever witnessed. We saw the event up close and for a relatively long time-in other words there is no way I am mistaken about what I saw....no mind playing tricks on me or optical illusions either. This occurred early this morning in Santee, Ca, where I was fortunate enough to be able to witness a good portion of it as it happened. I know that many others had to have seen this as well.

San Antonio, TX
About 2 weeks ago, I have noticed what we call an ufo… it was around 2:30am, I was just getting out of my car when I heard a weird sound, like a “swish”, I felt a light breeze on my face… I looked up and I saw, hovering above my building, a flying object… it wasn’t round, rather a polygon… octagon or decagon… the angles were very clear! It was rotating around its axis, very slowly, and there was a diffuse light coming from underneath it… a very bright blue colored light. It stopped right above me for some seconds, then continued its flight, at a very low speed. I did not see where it came from, but it left towards east… Source indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Folsom, CA
Enjoying the hot tub with my wife looking up into the very clear night sky and witnessed a moving object never seen before. It had three non-flashing evenly spaced lights in a linear formation moving quickly from east to west. There was no sound emitted and could not judge the elevation of the object but it was moving quicker than any normal plane would. Observers are 40 and 50 and would like to think this was not a drone or something similar.

San Mateo, CA
My son and I witnessed a aircraft that looked like a flying scooter or motorcycle flying just above us, coming from the north towards the west as if it were taking the exit on the freeway but right above us just over the telephone poles even close to rooftops!! I said whoa! What was that...I need one of those so I can ride you on it over the freeway too so we don't have to wait it traffic… I thought for sure it was a something new that was used to transport faster a above traffic to get to an accident or emergency or respond to a child abduction or something serious…

St-Augustine, FL
November 14, 2014, 19h45 https://www.google.com/maps/@29.8587106,-81.2653437,17z I was walking on the beach of St-Augustine with my wife and dog and I was looking up in the sky for satellites when my eyes caught something that I first thought was a shooting star or a meteorite because it was quite bright and moving fast on a north to south trajectory. The entire observation lasted between 8 and 10 seconds, the time it took to appear in the north and disappear in the south. The sky was clear of any cloud. The object consisted of five lights that were forming a pentagon shape (flat surface). Each light was the size of a bright star. The object was moving along a mostly-but-not-quite rectilinear trajectory. The shape appeared to be “surfing” in the air as it was swaying on various axes. It also appeared as if there was no unifying body between the lights, although the movement contradicted this observation (see below). It is important to highlight the fact that the movement was the most intriguing characteristic of this observation. The distance was estimated to be anywhere between three to ten miles. Despite the distance, the object appeared to be extremely large (approx. 3-5 degrees) - the size of one to four football fields perhaps. It was probably travelling at an altitude of 10K to 30K feet. It could have been bigger and farther too. I immediately tried to point the object to my wife, but the dog started barking at nearby walkers. I kept pointing and telling her to watch, but she was trying to keep the dog under control. The object disappeared and I was frustrated that she hadn’t seen anything. As I tried to describe her what I had just witnessed, she first made fun of me and then suggested commercial planes or jet planes. The fact that the shape was clearly swaying over multiple axis while travelling at a near constant speed implied that some of the lights were accelerating while others were decelerating. This movement would have been virtually impossible to create if they were not part of the same body. I cannot think of any human-built object of this size that could travel at such speed and not suffer incredible air pressure. I also cannot see how a flight formation could produce such perfect movement given the speed differentials that would be involved.

Fairfield, CA
While walking home from store, my son and I noticed a strange peach-colored curtain, or tear-shaped object that was pulsating and shimmering. We watched it for about a half an hour. A small engine plane flew away from it. The time was 7:45 pm PST on 11/14/2014

Edmond, OK
Well, one night, as I let my dog out to go to the restroom in the back yard, I noticed the water was still on, so when I walked out to turn the water off I happened to look up at the sky and noticed it was a clear night. I like looking at the stars so as I looked up at the sky that’s when all of a sudden a bright flash of white light in the shape of a tilted rectangle lit up and shot to the left and then disappeared. Not a sound came from the UFO. I mean in a matter of a split second it was there and then it was gone. I would have to say it was a couple of hundred feet above my neighbor’s house if that. It was really low and it had me standing there gapping at the spot it appeared then disappeared. I stood there staring at the spot where it was for several seconds and nothing. I honestly can’t explain it as anything but a UFO, it was so surreal. Witness indicates that the date is approximate. PD

West Milton, OH
At around 5:00 p.m., a friend and I looked off into a field to our left and saw what appeared to be a small passenger airliner. It was grey in color with a red stripe, it had red lights on the rear fins. It was less than 100 feet off the ground hovering in mid air. We watched it for around 2-3 minutes and then continued down the road. I'm not sure if it is related but as a side note 2 air force officers showed up in my small town at the funeral home today. When no one answered they came across the street to my house and looked in the window. I was out of the line of sight but saw their shadows. The proceeded across the street to a auto shop, I went over and talked to the men at the shop and they confirmed they were air force. They claimed their cell phones had died and were trying to get a hold of the funeral home. A gentlemen at the shop confirmed their had been a burial at the cemetery in town today. So I'm not saying it's related just odd 2 air force officers show up the next day in a town of a little more than 1000.
