Lafayette, CO
I saw a triangle-shaped craft heading South along Highway 287 just 10 miles East of Boulder CO. It was silent and had no lights. I had my window down in my car and it looked huge. I noticed it because it was a clear night and I was looking out at the bright stars. It was grey and against the backdrop of the black sky stuck out like a sore thumb. It looked as if it was traveling at an altitude of 4,000-6,000 ft. elevation and was huge - like 400-800 ft. long. I witnessed it for 6-10 seconds.

Harleyville, SC
At around 0330 Thursday October 22nd, 2015, myself and a co-worker observed two triangle shaped craft over Harleyville, SC. Both craft were dark in color with red lights on the corners (non-flashing) and flew just above the tree line roughly 300 feet from our building. They were moving slowly at first coming back and forth across a heavily wooded area as if they were looking for something. They then hovered over the wooded area for about 5 minutes before accelerating very quickly upwards and then making an immediate 90° turn across the sky to the west and disappearing into the distance. Local police scanner revived multiple calls about the 2 craft over the area.

Valley, AL
Please, someone tell me what this was??? Just now I was setting inside the house an heard a low rumble coming over.. I didn't pay it any attention at first just thinking it was a jet, but after 30sec or so something just didn't feel right.. What I think made me get up is the rumble just seemed to last to long like the sound was moving slow.. I ran out side to see two triangle looking craft (I say triangle because I so two white lights in the back and one single red light in the front center (the red light may have been located beween the center and the apex of the nose?? The two were in formation one behind the other.. Either they were huge in size or they were super quiet and low.. I say that because for a jet sound it was quiet and moving very very slow!! Either it was way up in the sky and just looked close or it was a special jet one?? It was moving just east of the Alabama, Ga. line right above Valley, Al flying south... Does anybody reconiz! e the description of the lights I saw on any military air craft?? This was totally awsome to see!!! Thanks

I have often heard craft over the last few months since moving to my current location in northern Wisconsin, suddenly roar out of the upper atmosphere and fly off at a low altitude in one direction or another, ordinarily east or south, and checking FlightRadar on my ipad, most often nothing commercial is anywhere in my vicinity. Which leaves only two possibilities in my mind, secret military black project craft or extraterrestrial craft. The fact these are often followed by sightings of choppers, or airplanes flying over the area, I more often suspect extraterrestrial origins when this occurs. Thus hearing in the last two days, this EXTRAORDINARILY LOUD craft, suddenly start roaring overhead as it tears through the sky (literally as if, the sky is tearing open, this sound is like afterburners times a hundred), suddenly the roaring begins in the south as example, circling around, then stops over south, and begins to the north, circling around over the north, stops there and its heard back east, etc., something is seemingly "jumping" around, place to place, or often seems to circle nearby my location then with nothing in between begins circling elsewhere before the echo from the first location ceases. Which, I cannot see the sky clearly to the east, south, or north, here, due to heavy forestation here. However, to the west we are on the shore of a large hundreds of acre's lake. There the sky is of course, wide open, and one can see the southwest sky, western sky, and northwestern sky. This day, 10-21-15, the craft's sound, jumping around, and seemingly circling, circling to the east, then after jumping, circling again to the southeast, it seems (like it is looking for something), it passes flying one direction away across the southern side of the lake. This day, 10-21-15, I went out again hearing this thing, and could see nothing until, hearing it proceeding west over the southern side of the lake, I went to the lakeshore, still seeing nothing, I began snapping pics of the sky at random, with my Cannon Powershot Camera, and later discovered the craft pictured, in one photo. I cannot post directly online from my camera and this pic is a retake of the LED Screen of my camera using the ipad camera, and that pic, is filed with this report. The thus, enlarged, "v" shape craft is then seen large (I estimate actual size at least that of a stealth fighter if not larger) though this craft was traveling west at an altitude of 5,000-10,000 feet I would guesstimate... I have had this pic reviewed by an aeronautics electronics engineer familiar with most craft in the skies today, the opinion was this was not a known, man made aircraft. I've not filed a report in some time (and do not, do so, with MUFON or any other UFO investigative or UFO reporting website) because there are some that have questioned why, I see so many unidentified craft in the sky both here, and more so, in Missouri previous to my move to my present location this summer. Even Peter Davenport (Editor here at NUFORC), being a good investigator, has asked me on the telephone several times, this question, and I cannot answer it other than to say: I am open to the experience, accept this reality, and being deeply spiritual person, "invite" mentally/telepathically, in prayer like way, the experience's into my life, and of course, I do a lot of skywatching, all of which combined, most people, don't do. This combination, has brought me hundreds of sightings 2010-2015, only a few of which, from in Holts Summit MO., I have reported here. This craft however, being a daytime pic, and a decent shot of, even though somewhat blurry, was distinct enough, I felt it should be reported and thus, though it is likely to spark a fourth investigative call from Mr Davenport if posted, felt it should be reported to a wider audience. I do not assert, that this is alien as I think some craft I have witnessed, are, but, this one, it certainly, is one thing: an Unidentified Flying Object ie; UFO. May the Blessings Be, keep your eyes on the skies 😀

Suffolk/Chesapeake, VA
I was driving to work on highway 58. Two bright lights. As I drove and turned on I 664 I saw the object heading west as if it was coming from Virginia beach area. It was dark but I clearly saw. Triangle outline with one light under each pointed end and a round center light in the middle. There was also a white strobe near the center light. As the craft passed overhead there was no sound. The craft passed and I saw the rear as two extremely bright rear lights flashing 4 to 5 times per minute and what looked to be a solid red strip of illuminated light I between the two white flashing light. Oh yeah....Iam a naval officer with 26 years in, so I am familiar with aircraft, and we don't have anything like this. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I saw a triangle shaped craft with three colored lights. It appeared very faint in the sky. It was traveling at a very very fast speed almost like it was freefalling through the sky heading downward toward the Portland Airport. It travelled with no sound that I could detect. I was a little startled so I went back into my house where I told my friend about what I had seen.

Cody, WY
We're from the neighboring town about 20 min away and we were just making a late night trip to Walmart. We had just left Walmart and were driving out back to our home town and while we were driving there was this big bright light pretty high in the sky in the distance. Then before we could even say what is that to each other, it was right over us. Then it was like just sitting above this hill next to the road....and like it had a blue under glow and was v shaped, so we pulled over right away and the second we got out it was like boom gone and not like flying off in the distance it literally like was. I've never seen a shape like that or anything that fast. I'm not sure of the color but from what we both remember it was a steal grey color.

Fort Collins, CO
Witness 1: A friend and I were at Spring Canyon Park, Fort Collins CO, having a conversation, when I noticed what appeared to be a kite like object gliding through the air above me. I could barely distinguish it from the darkness of the sky, but I could see it enough to determine a shape. It was a V-shape with five dark grey circles, two on either side and one in the middle. It was maybe 500 feet in the air and moving slightly faster than that of a plane making absolutely no noise. My friend did not notice this first sighting, so I took him to the other side of park in hopes that it would return. At 8:15pm, we both noticed what looked like a similar craft to that of the first sighting gliding north to south more to the west then the original craft. We then decided to lay down and sk watch hoping to see another craft. At 8:27pm we noticed a very large craft roughly 500 feet in the air. It was noticeably larger than the other two. noticeably this craft was a different shape. this one being ! a wide set isosceles triangle. It flew northwest to southeast directly over us at a lower altitude than the other two crafts and this time it flashed many intricate small lights over us before it disappeared. Witness 2: At around 7:55 my friend claimed that he saw a V-shaped UFO in the sky. I was a little skeptical at first, however I was intrigued, so I decided to listen to what he had to say. we proceeded to skywatch in different locations around the park and at 8:15pm he spotted a V-shaped craft again this time I was quick enough to catch a 3 to 5 second glimpse before it vanished into the night sky. I felt like we should stay and see if it would return again. we found a place to lie down and watch the sky. My friend noticed yet again it coming before I, however it was undoubtedly visible and different than the previous craft. Around 30 small intricate lights lit up overhead. the craft made no noise at all and as it passed us, the lights dimmed until the craft vanished.

Observed a large triangular object hovering in place about 200 yards from the road over a field. The object was hovering at an elevation of between 200-400 feet and was very large. The object had blinking lights on the top and bottom and lights on the sides that stayed lite. Observed from moving car. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

In the sky a small silver triangle, flashing lights, no chem trail or vapor trail emitting from the craft. The triangle was spinning or rotating in a circle as it traveled north/north east across the sky. We could not hear any sound coming from it, but there were lights both white and red flashing.

Le 13 octobre 2015 à 00h40 un témoin est gêné par des nuisances sonores dans le ciel (passage d'avion de chasse). Il ouvre ses volets pour voir ce qui se passe, c'est là qu'il voit au-dessus de son immeuble un "engin" avec plusieurs formes triangulaires et des points blancs. Il filme immédiatement le phénomène. Le vent est violent et froid ce soir-là, le témoin ne peut pas rester longtemps dehors. En regardant sa vidéo, il découvre plusieurs engins dont un point plus ou moins fixe. Le témoin adresse son témoignage au GEIPAN en mai 2019. Aucun autre témoignage ne sera recueilli. Le témoin a transmis une vidéo sur laquelle apparaissent quelques points lumineux ainsi qu'une forme ovale orangée. Le témoin indique n'avoir vu de ses yeux qu'un seul PAN : les autres points lumineux ne sont constatés que sur la vidéo. Il signale un ciel clair dégagé et étoilé, mais les relevés de la station météo de NÎMES GARONS le 13/10/2015 au matin (voir le document météo) indiquent un ciel très couvert, humide avec vent nord/sud de 20km/h avec des pointes à 35km/h et une visibilité limitée à 13 km. Ainsi la très forte nébulosité peut expliquer l'apparition et disparition du ou des PAN ce qui diminue l'étrangeté de l'observation. Il est normal pour un témoignage tardif d'avoir ce type d'incohérence, mais cela ne facilite pas l'identification du phénomène et diminue donc la consistance du témoignage. D'ailleurs, le témoin indique dans le questionnaire ne pas se souvenir des conditions astronomiques, mais précise pourtant "un ciel dégagé totalement, étoilé ...." dans les conditions météorologiques du questionnaire. Plusieurs hypothèses sont étudiées : - hypothèse lanternes pour les points lumineux : la période d'octobre en semaine, au milieu de la nuit avec un vent entre 20 km/h et 35km/h ne conforte pas l'hypothèse de lanternes qui pourrait correspondre aux point lumineux (mais vus que sur le film..). Le vent NORD/SUD est peu compatible de l'observation EST/SUD-EST. - hypothèse avions militaires : avant l'observation le témoin a entendu des bruits d'avions, mais pas au moment même de l'observation. Cela n'élimine pas pour autant l'hypothèse avion car, avec l'éloignement et selon le sens de la trajectoire et de l'altitude d'un avion, il est possible qu'il n'y ait pas de bruit au niveau de l'observateur. La durée d'observation courte ne permet pas de confirmer la trajectoire EST/SUD-EST indiquée par le témoin pour le seul PAN vu de ses yeux. Compte tenu du signalement tardif de l'observation, il n'est pas possible d'obtenir des confirmations de passage d'avions civils ou militaires par des suivis radars. Cette hypothèse semble la plus probable, mais ne peut pas être confirmée. L'étrangeté de l'observation ne peut pas être confirmée, car la météo peut expliquer les disparitions, et l'hypothèse avion n'est pas incompatible du fait même que c'est des bruits d'avions qui ont attiré le témoin vers la fenêtre pour observer le ciel. Malgré, la vidéo transmise la consistance du cas n'est pas bonne, car le témoin n'a vu les points lumineux que sur la vidéo et pas en temps réel, ils pourraient correspondre à d'autres phénomènes type optique ou reflet dans l'objectif. L'ancienneté du témoignage ne permet d'obtenir des informations complémentaires pour confirmer l'hypothèse avion. Le GEIPAN classe ce cas en C : manque d’informations fiables. [GEIPAN classification C — Manque d'informations fiables]

It was pretty big out of what I could see, definitely bigger than how an airplane would look if it were flying that high. It disappeared behind the trees before I could see any more of it.

This event happened on 10-12-2015. This happened about a month after I seen the Triangle sighting. Between 7:30 pm & 8 Pm. I seen an large object in the west on the outside a little ways from our town. It seemed to Hover for like seemed 5 minutes or less. I seen planes go over around the same time. As soon as I started walking this Object started flying over this direction. It looked like it had lots of lights. Kind of lit up the sky. Looked like from what I seen it looked to be all White Lights. No flashing. As it was flying above me. I noticed it had no sound. And it looked like it could of been another Triangle shape Object. It was flying over our building and another house behind us and above the trees. I went back in the apartment. And came back out and My boyfriend said. Something else had gone over. And he didn't know what it was. I took a picture of it. All I got was the lights. But will send it anyways. And it was flying the same direction as the other thing I had seen in the sky.

3 bright orange objects in the form of a perfect triangle were seen low in the sky, in the East. Looking close you could see flashing lights. They looked to be still for a moment and then moved and disappeared. They didn’t make noise, and did not leave a trail as they moved.

Kettering, OH
I was outside at 3:30 pm and the sky did not look promising for that evening. So I decided not to go out to the Observatory located in John Bryan State Park. However, I was coming from Church at 6:30 pm and now the sky looked promising for observing. I went outside at 8:30 pm and the sky was beautiful for observing. I finished dinner and set up my observing chairs in my driveway. It was now 9 pm. Something very strange happened at 10 pm. Something whizzed about 6 feet over my head as I was looking up into the constellation Pegasus. I jumped up out of my chair and said "what the hell was that." I did not get a good look at it. I ran inside the house to get the time. It was exactly 10:00 pm. I came back outside and sat down to continue to observe. After a while as I was looking up at the right hand side of the great square in Pegasus, I saw a very bright flash of pure white light on my right hand side and somewhat over my right shoulder. I turned my chair to my right and bang I saw another bright flash of pure white light. The white light came from a source about one foot in diameter and it seemed not very high, perhaps 500 feet above the ground. The light stayed lit for a period as long as it takes to say "Turn on and Turn off." I counted the flashes. There were seven total and spaced about 30 seconds apart. After each flash the light moved a short distance. However, after a total of seven flashes the light seemed to have moved in a deformed circle. When the light flashed on a fourth time it illuminated the underside of a craft. The craft was in the form of a triangle and the white light was in the center of the triangle. Each apex of the triangle wa! s rounded. Each side of the triangle was about 4 feet long. The color of the craft was a very light brown tan with a tint of yellow. The flashes stopped. I watched for another couple of minutes. I ran inside the house. It was now 10:55 pm as shown on the digital cable clock. I came back outside and continued observing until about 12:30 am. I did not see any more flashes or craft. I am a retired PHD physicist who worked first as an officer then as a civilian at WPAFB. I am an amateur astronomer and a member of an astronomical society.

At approximately 8:00 pm, on Oct. 10th, 2015, my boyfriend and I were looking up at the night sky in Moorpark, Ca. We observed the stars and the usual flight patterns of airplanes and other small aircraft. Suddenly a v-shaped (or boomerang shaped object) appeared above us, slightly north, heading east in the sky, then quickly disappeared. It seemed very large, dimly lit, and almost transparent with 4-5 lights on each side. It appeared ghostly, as it did not make a sound, while gliding at a moderate speed. I witnessed this for 3 seconds, and my boyfriend saw this for 2 seconds. Neither of us has witnessed anything like this before.

It was about 3:30 at night me and my g.f. went to her car to smoke... we open the sun roof she looks up and says, "What ((deleted)) is that! I look up, I seen it too. It looked like it was so far up but it was still big for being how far it was. The shape was triangular with rounded off corners, almost like a boomerang. It glided through the night on a strait line only seeing the shadow of it cause it was so dark.
