I was walking him from the grocery store, when I noticed a bright orange object in the sky. I saw what looked like two streaks of light on either side but it trailed behind not changing length at all. I thought it was a plane on fire but then thought it was flying towards the ground at a weird angle and there were no trails of smoke, or anything. I also noticed a small object that wasn't moving. There was a single white light with orange around it. Not nearly as bright as the other. The first passed the second one and then stopped flying midair and became less bright. The smaller one then got brighter and started flying back up. They both eventually disappeared into mid air. I was so dumbfounded that I was only able to get a couple of pictures. They are from a distance and only seem like small bright blurry things in the sky. But I believe I saw two UFOs. I also saw a plane fly towards where one object disappeared a few minutes later there were lots of lights in the sky, but I can't tell if it was lightning but there were lots of lights in the same spot back to back.

I was getting ready to leave for work and was getting something from my boat to take to work with me. I caught a red/green/white strobing light moving into my view from the east it stopped at a point over my view in the horizon. I tried to get a recording of it with my phone but that didn't work. I did get my video camera from the house and was able to record a limited amount of time because the camera wasn't charged. I woke up other family members to witness it but it never moved for them. I continued to watch it for an hour an half

Currie, NC
I stepped into the backyard at 11:09 pm 8-23-14, and I saw this lighted object flying very low and fast, coming from the wooded area behind our home, and as it was entering into the open sky between my house and the neighbor's home, it simply vaporized away right in front of me only to be followed by at 11:11 a streaking fireball which was like an intense bright "falling star" which also was to be followed in the same exact spot there in that open sky between our homes at 11:14 by a dimmer lit streaking fireball following the same exact downward trajectory. The lighted flying craft did not seem to be out of the ordinary but it was only visible for 5-6 seconds in a clear sky but instantly as I stopped at attention to gaze at it, its lights went out and no trace of the craft was to be seen. The two fiery streaks seemed as they were the results of something firing at that area the craft went invisible in. I stayed until the mosquitos forced me to leave and! there was no more activity during my ten minutes of admiring just beautiful star lit skies. This section of town is a hot bed of activity for UFO sightings as of late. I'm sure there would be more UFO reportings but the stinging mosquitos and variety of biting deer flies, yellow flies and horse flies and gnats are so intense they keep us from being outdoors as often as we'd like to be. It has rained all summer long and the insects are in huge numbers and the Black River is very swampy to begin with. I've seen (along with witnesses) Foo Fighters (flying round silver balls) in this same area here in broad daylight following jets right on their tail and in 1987 I encountered the first of many UFO sightings in this same area which were three craft flying so low they lit up the tops of the pines along the river. We heard strange mechanical noises coming from the swamps at odd hours of the wee morning many times. It sounded like an oil derrick in operation. This went on for three years then stopped. I moved here in that year so who knows how long it has been going on like this!

Barnsdall, OK
I deliver papers in the early morning. I had stopped on CR 2400 next to the cemetery and had exited my vehicle to retrieve newspapers from my trunk. Looking back to the East, I observed a black object pass in front of the pleiades constellation moving north at a speed close to which commerical jets fly. The object was large, although I could not make out a shape or approximate distance. I heard no noise, nor observed any lights; just a dark black craft or mass pass across the constellation and continue north until I could no longer make it out.

Watched as what resembled a falling star moved at a high altitude and a high speed across the entire sky. The object did not move in a perfect trajectory, occasionally moving slightly left and right, never losing speed.

Carlinville, IL
Four females driving south witnessed a orange light in the eastern sky. Upon driving six miles the orange light, now in the south changed to red. Upon turning the car north and driving into wooded road the red object changed white and was pulsating large orb to small orb. It continued to hover over our vehicle as we drove from north to east. Approximately two football fields away. Upon stopping the car at a clearing to take a picture, the object split from one large white orb into two equal but separate orbs and blinked out into darkness.

Willow Spring, NC
Watched as two lights (one larger than the other) zigzagged from the northwest with no sound for around 45 seconds and then completely faded out. Hard to say what altitude but I have many hours in the seat of a Cessna 172 and it is my guess that it was approximately 10,000 to 15,000 feet. There was no sound from the craft and I couldn't see the shape at all.

Canyonlands National Park, UT
While camping husband, Grandchild and myself went to the tent around 1:00am. All of a sudden I woke up to a bright light above the tent, (bright spot light or beam of light) the whole top was lite. There was also flickering dancing lights on side of tent, I would say at least 10 more lights. No sound; whenever lights were done it was like a light switch turned off. The whole time lights were outside, I suffered a terrible headache, and it went away 5 minutes after lights left.

Sitting on back porch at 9:00 pm and saw a bright light moving slowly going south east flying low about normal plane hieght about 1minute after take off. There was only one light very white and bright, no blinking lights. We noticed as it was getting closer this object was not making any noise at all even when it was directly over us. As we watched this object go by, I would say about one minute after it flew over the bright light started to dim and then eventually disappear into the night.

WHILE DELIVERING MY MORNING PAPERS LIKE I DO EVERY MORNING. I HAD WITNESSED A OBJECT IN THE LOW HORIZON. SEEMED TO BE TWO LIGHTS ONE BIGGER THAN THE OTHER. ATTEMPTED TO VIDEO THE SITE BUT DID NOT PICK UP THE IMAGE. I DID TAKE PHOTOS AS WELL. BECAUSE OF THE PHONE I USED ITS JUST A BLUR WHEN ZOOMED IN ON. THIS OBJECT DID NOT MOVE NO NOISE AND OBSERVED IT FOR AWHILE . I STILL HAD A JOB TO DO SO I TRIED TO KEEP AN EYE ON IT FROM TIME TO TIME .IT DID NOT MOVE IT REMAINED IN THE SAME POSITION SO IT WAS NOT A STAR THAT I KNOW OF IN THAT PART OF THE SKY. IT WAS VISIBLE TILL SUN UP . I CAN SWEAR THAT I DID SEE WHAT APPEARED TO BE A SILVERY CLOUD SHAPE AFTER SUNRISE. IT WAS STILL IN THE VERY SAME PLACE AS WHEN I FIRST SAW IT. I HAVE HAD A SEEN A ANOTHER OBJECT BEFORE AWHILE BACK BUT WAS MUCH FARTHER AWAY AND IN ANOTHER POSITION IN THE SKY AND THAT ONE WAS MOVING AROUND. I BELIEVE THAT I HAD THREE SIGHTING THAT I CANNOT EXPLAIN.FUNNY THING IS NO ONE ELSE SEEMS TO HAVE WITNESSED THIS. WERE NOT ALONG HERE AND WHO EVER THEY ARE SEEM TO OUTSMART OUR RADAR I GUESS . HAS MUCH TO DO WITH THE SHAPE OF THE CRAFT I THINK. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Mistaken sighting for two stars (sic. Planets?) in the eastern sky just before sunrise. I had made a report of a sighting in Madison, Connecticut on the 18 of this month. Sorry to say it was 2 stars in the eastern sky. The other sighting earlier in the year was for sure a real sighting. Guess I am hoping for another sighting as grand as the first one. Sorry to bother you with a false sighting. ((END ADDENDUM)) Witness corrects his conclusion about the sighting. PD

While walking my dog this night I noticed a steady red or orange light in the sky that just stayed in the same spot for a while. It moved slightly one time behind some trees and was out of my sight, and I assumed it was a plane. I continued my walk down the block and back and when I came to my driveway I now saw three of these lights in the same spot as the first forming a large triangle shape. They just stayed in the same spots motionless. As I stood there looking at them, the triangle shape they were in made a 360 degree circle then stopped and they remained motionless again. I came in the house to get my camera and tell my friend to come look, and by the time we went back outside they were gone and I did not see them again as I looked throughout the next hour.

I was sitting in my backyard when I looked up in the sky and saw what looked like a street lamp flying in the sky. It was the color (yellowish/Orange) and the shape (ovalish/circlish) flying northbound. The light was zig zagging and also moving straight up/down and left/right. I had never seen anything like this before and it gave me the chills. I ran inside and yelled for my brother to run outside. We ran to the front yard/street where there were no visual obstructions. He witnessed the same thing I had. While the object was travelling north, The oval/circle shaped light dimmed at one point to somewhat of a dot like it would have if it were really far away, however it was in the same general area and then the light went back to normal. Eventually the object still zigzagging, moving up/down and left/right travelled so far that I couldn’t see it anymore.

Rolla, MO
I observed a bright white light falling, and suddenly stopping. The object then continued horizontally east, darting from left to right repeatedly. We spoke via telephone with the witness, in order to confirm that the sighting occurred at night, and not in the morning. We have changed the time above. He apprised us that the object appeared to descend, then ascend again, as it was maneuvering in the sky. The witness seemed to us to be quite sincere, and he sounded serious-minded to us. PD

Harrah, OK
Witnessed a bright round light in total darkness with no sounds slowly moving around and stopping to hover from time to time in the western sky. I was under a barn roof not in view but after it caught my eye and I watched it curiously I decided to video it with my iPhone. As soon as I stepped out from under the roof and I became visible and the light from my iPhone could be seen the object moved to the north at a high rate of speed and the light went out. It just vanished into the dark sky..

As I was entering my property I did not notice it at frist. I parked my car and all of a sudden a flash lit up at least a mile radius. Like a camera taking a picture with flash. I looked up seen multi color light and it zoomed off. This all happened within a couple of seconds. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Walton, KY
At first I thought it was a plane, but it was moving too fast for a plane. I confirmed this 5 minutes later when I actually saw a plane, with contrails. This particular object had no contrails, like most of the planes I see at that altitude. Anyway, it caught a glint of the sun and I could tell it wasn't a bird. It continued to move from SE to NW when it made an "S" move and then a figure 8. I watched it until I couldn't see it anymore. It LOOKED like a plane, but it was faster than a plane and did not move like a plane.

West Valley, UT
While driving southbound on 6400 West, between 4100 South and 4700 South, observed a light hovering to the southwest. As i got closer, I could see 6 round lights facing downward and a row of blue small lights along the side. It was dark, and I couldn't determine a shape of the craft. Possibly oval or triangle based on the lights. It made no sound, and didn't seem to be moving. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Three of us saw a very bright red light with a smaller white light at Cedar Heights Condominiums. The red object moved slowly West. We lost sight of the white moving light. We heard no sound. Source of report corrected the date to August 14. PD

First, at 9:30pm, a relatively slow moving, large and conspicuous (military?) helicopter flew from southeast to northwest under a moonless, starry sky about 50 knots - half the speed of a typical "life flight" chopper or news chopper. It had a signature deep sound to its rotors like a heavy military war helo. I didn't pay much attention to it other than noticing its slow speed of travel and bright "red/green" FAA signal lights for civilian airspace. I assumed it was just a nighttime training mission… It should be noted that this is not heavily traveled airspace by helicopter air traffic -- only rarely do we see any helicopter at all. Typically, it's only passenger jets descending into Logan airport at 15,000', and the occasional weekender in a Cessna. What struck me as odd was hearing the exact same chopper (that signature, deep military sound like a Blackhawk, plus the same signal lights on a black chopper, indicating port/starboard) 20 minutes later coming back from the direction it had traveled initially (this time NW to SE), and on the same vector path and altitude (about 500 feet) and speed... So... I stepped out from my porch and looked up. That is when I noticed it was "chasing" (more like "escorting") what was first one dim light and then which became two lights, lights which were a bluish color, but obvious and present.. also conspicuous but considerably less bright (exactly similar to the magnitude of a low-orbit satellite in a dark night sky... Actually I'd say "identical." The lights were not associated with a visible craft (unless the craft was tiny -- like softball sized?) but they were surely too far ahead of the chopper to be an extension of the chopper: The lights were travelling about 50ft from each other -- one slightly ahead of the other -- together, at about 1/8 to a 1/4 of a mile ahead of the chopper, travelling at the same speed and vector and altitude as the helo. From my experience, the objects were going too fast to be civilian drones, and were "silent" under the sound of the chopper. They seemed to glide effortlessly ahead of the helicopter as if free from our Earthly propulsion systems. If it was alien craft, you'd think the military would use jets to pursue...unless they were testing a drone system and needed a chopper to pursue because it flies too slow for a jet to follow. Either way, it felt "planned," but then again in civilian airspace, even the drone would need proper FAA green/red port and starboard indicators. They did not. Something was very wrong. I will say the whole episode felt very "off," and is absolutely venture to say, "paranormal." This is a heavily populated suburb, though somewhat rural so stars are bright. They chose a moonless night to transport or escort *something.* I believe they were low and slow to glide below the ubiquitous radar. After a web search I did find a similar report in this database, as follows -- which is how I found your site. Related? Occurred: 3/10/2013 12:00 (Entered as : 3/10/2013 12:00) Reported: 3/10/2013 10:17:04 AM 10:17 Posted: 4/12/2013 Location: West Springfield, MA Shape: Cigar Duration:2 minutes Watched a Red and White helicopter follow and stay with the ufo from a distance. Ufo was white with no no markings. It was not a drone nor a plane."

Kill Devil Hills, NC
While driving south along the beach road (milepost 6.5), I observed (at first) 2 bright reddish lights in the sky moving slowly north. I pulled over and stopped the car and got out to have a closer look. I would estimate that the lights were just off shore (@ 1/4 mile away). I then noticed 2 more identical lights also moving slowly north. The first set of lights were low in the sky (one light was above and to the left of the second light) and they moved very slowly to the north and made no noise at all. The first set of lights passed by me and the first light appeared to make a right turn and went out to sea and disappeared. The second light followed the first light a few seconds later and also disappeared out to sea. I then focused on the second set of identical lights that appeared to be @ 1/4 mile behind the first set. They were in the very same formation and followed the first set out to sea. In total, I would estimate the event lasted @ 5 minutes. Witness provides no contact information. PD
