At dusk, image perceived as aircraft was slow-moving - hovering at times - seen first from automobile while driving. Later seen after egress from automobile. Array of blinking white lights in an arc. Near Exit 28 on Route 91 (observer was in northbound lane), size difficult to judge in dim light, sound (if any) unable to be heard while driving, nothing heard after stopping and exiting from vehicle. Seemed unusual because of apparent very low height from ground,and brightness of lights. Other automobiles stopped at scene, but no attempt was made to communicate with other drivers to ask if they had seen object.

At 19:30 to 20:00, my partner and I went outdoors to smoke. After the session, at about 20:00, we began to marvel at the stars' beauty that night, and lay back on the driveway to enjoy the night sky. Near Orion's belt, for no more than a second, we both see a flash of white/blue light similar to a camera flash. We observe for 10 more minutes as to find any more, and see 2 yellow/orange lights (non blinking) accompanied by a red light at the center. At first we believe it to be a plane, but can not confirm due to a lack of noise and the apparent low altitude. After this we go inside. No pictures were taken due to the quickness of the event.

Black shaped house like object with 5 points. It hovered and is moving in straight line from north to south west. We suspect that the dark object is a butterfly or moth. PD

the next night I ran inside to get my boyfriend who had assured me the night before it had to be a plane, this time he got a closer look and during our observation we watched a minimum of 3 of them. They hovered, moved seemingly slow and then one just disappeared before our eyes, like it just blinked out and was gone. Again the next night there was another formation of 3. My daughter was also shaken recently when she said she saw a silver ball in the sky that just disappeared as well.

I wasn't sure how to report what happened to me and my son. We keep seeing UFO's in our area at night. They usually appear as a bright star that moves different directions. We reported a few years ago a huge craft over our house on this website. Last night my son and I were freaked out and stayed up half the night afraid something would happen. As we were going to bed, I noticed my radio in the bedroom had some serious interference. I started to feel sick and dizzy and had an over all feeling of being watched, but was going to bed. I laid in bed feeling really uneasy. A few minutes later my 17 year old son came running up the stairs into my room, saying he felt like he was being watched and had a feeling like something was about to happen and his chest hurt. He said his cell phone has no service which was odd because we never have that issue where we live. I checked my phone and it was not working at all. We didn't turn any lights on in our home and crept outside to see if a UFO was somewhere in site. We didn't see anything, but both of us were too scared to really get out in the open to check. Like I said before, we see UFO's all the time out here. I don't even report how many we see. My son and I huddled in my bedroom with the doors locked all night. The radio interference, cell phone problems and uneasy feelings stopped after 1am. My son and I were so scared that we stayed awake most of the night. That has never happened to us before when we have seen the UFO's, they usually keep their distance in the sky and when we say we see you they will flash colors as if to say we are here. We didn't see anything last night, but we know something was out there to cause what we went through. I have a friend who works for MUFON, so I may reach out to her too.

We witnessed an orange colored light travelling northwest in the direction of Lake Ontario and ultimately into Canada. This object showed no obvious aircraft navigational lights and the color of the visible light was not that of an ordinary aircraft. There was no sound from this object as well. Elevation was approximately at 3000 ft. Line of travel was straight and speed was constant.

Last summer in the evening my husband came in from outside and asked me to come look at something in the sky. In the southwestern sky you could see a small object with something trailing behind it. At first we thought it was a flock of geese, but when we looked through binoculars we could see that it was some kind of craft with vapor or smoke coming out the back. First thought, plane in distress, but it was moving extremely slow and kept on the same trajectory until we couldn’t see it because of the trees in our yard. I got in the car and drove to an open spot to see if I could spot it, again, afraid it was a plane in distress, but I could not locate it. We watched the news that evening to see if a plane crashed, or nearly crashed had taken place, but there was no mention of anything. It was definitely not a flock of geese, and it could not have been a meteorite as the vapor didn’t trail that far behind and it moved VERY slowly. We like to know if anyone else experienced this event. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

While we were outside I looked up towards the Full MOON AND NOTICED a light traveling towards the moon. While I was having a cigarette I waited to see if the light crossed the Full Moon or if it went behind the Full Moon. This bright light traveled behind the Full Moon. While I was having my cigarette I stared at the Full Moon and waited for the bright light to reappear on the opposite side of the Full Moon. As I waited my cigarette was smoked and the bright light did not reappear. This is Strange. Did anyone else see what I saw?

Two orbs of light appeared in the sky. Very bright, very large orange orbs. They slowly rose further over the ground. At first, I thought they were just lanterns but their behavior said otherwise. They would come together and fly apart, swirling around in a pattern that was identical to each other. Eventually they stopped spinning at the exact same time, completely still. There was no sound. The lights disappeared after a few minutes. Never seen anything like this. I'm a very rational scientific person, and although my first assumption was a couple of Chinese lanterns, there is no way lanterns would behave like this.

At the Coquitlam River today, I saw a small, bright white, object moving slowly eastward across the blue sky. I watched it for about one minute and then it was obscured by a cloud which was moving west. Then there were too many trees to find it again. It was not a plane. It was too high for me to detect any distinct shape. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Witness awoke in bed due to strange noise outdoors. Looking to road, saw a "truck" with lights on the front, lights on the back, lights on the top. Object had lights all over the surface. Witness said some lights were white, some lights were orange, some were yellow. Looking at surface of object, on the side witness could see, it had at least 14 lights visible on that side of the object. Lights about same size as car headlights, or somewhat smaller. Light intensity was so bright that it hurt witness's eyes to see it. Object made a "swishing" sound. Witness could not see any wheels. Entire surface of object glowed because of the light intensity. Witness could not say if the light was emanating from inside of object. Object appeared to travel on road surface. Witness thought this was a service vehicle, by which witness meant that it was probably military. Object was moving on road at about 25 or 30 mph. Distance from witness about 100 feet. After this object passed by, the road was dark again but witness could hear the same sound approaching again from same direction as before. Watching, witness saw identical object moving along the road, same speed, same description, same color etc. (Color described as bright yellow glowing.) Brightness still so intense it hurt witness's eyes. Another witness was not able to awaken in time to see the objects. Same thing occurred; object passed, with weird swishing sound. Witness did not think this was a "streetsweeper" but again, a service vehicle, by which the witness meant "military," and "secret." "There are some things we are not supposed to know," witness said. After this second object passed, the road was briefly dark again, and another identical object came by. (Three objects total sighted.) Witness could not understand why a road vehicle would be covered, absolutely covered with such powerful lights. Some light emanated from underneath the object also. No wheels were noticed.

I live on a bluff above a creek. I went out to let the puppy out by the pool. Neighbors often put out fireworks during the summer, so I thought nothing of this for a split second. Then I realized that there was no sound at all from what I saw. It was very brilliant at first...in the shape of what I can only describe as a gold and yellow bow-tie with a orange center dot. I tried to discount this as we live in the flight path of a local airport. This thing moved in a fluid motion from from north northwest to straight above and rapidly ascended above and fell out of view. I really did not want it to go away. I told my husband about this and of course, he thinks I am retarded. I have never said ANYTHING like this to him before. gold/yellow Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Red and green flashing lights on craft. craft hovered_ stood still in the sky. no sounds heard. lower than an airplane designated flight path. hovered lower, than rose a bit. multiple lightning flashes that converged into one line appeared to its north side_very unusual pattern. no thunder followed lightning_this may have noting to do with craft. craft than slowly rose than disappeared from sight (unable to discern if it disappeared or moved father off/out of view) this was witnessed by several people over the course of a half hour or a bit less) craft simply sat in the sky...the word "drone" was used in conversation but it was larger than any conventional "drone". again, this was totally silent. no engine, propeller, turbine was heard at any time.

Hello, i was looking outside my front house indoor windows when I noticed a big two story shaped UFO it was multiple colors glowing: red, green, orange, yellow, blue and it was glowing different colors really fast one min they all were dark no lights just dark. I noticed same time this happened it went hyper speed fast to few miles from where it had been, also it was very quiet it was pretty low around lots of witnesses I don't think anyone noticed it. It was closer to people than you'd expect was just hovering but had activity with lights glowing nearly all at once. It turned to same color as clouds and disappeared which freaked me out. I kinda think it sensed me looking and took off.

I have never been a big time believer in UFO's. While driving on 152, I witnessed a craft with three lights in a row fly from right to left quickly and then later on whizzing back from left to right. At some point the craft got really close to the road, but I could not see the shape of it due to the lights being so bright. It came down close to the car and then flew off and disappeared. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Hello Peter, I apologize for the confusion. It was in the evening. ((END ADDENDUM)) We have amended the time above to 21:00 hrs., to reflect an evening sighting. We have sent an e-mail to the source of the report, requesting confirmation, but have note heard back from the gentleman, yet. PD

Saw bright red and white UFO very close, flew East then stopped for a few seconds above us, then changed directions and sped opposite direction, west. Very bright red and white solid lights side by side, no sound. It was almost dark, appeared as soon as the brightest stars were visible. This is the second one we have seen this month.

The light could have been the sun reflecting off the crafts.

My brother woke me up sometime after 1:00 AM to show me a weird light in the sky. I walked out of my room and looked at what he was pointing at. There were 3 lights on what looked like one large craft. It was just hovering there for about 10 minutes. One of the lights in the center started blinking. It then went down in a slant towards the East. I obtained 2 pictures and two videos. I currently have them on my computer.

I was ordering some Indian food outside the place on my phone... and looking up at the sky... just like normal thing!! Suddenly, i saw this thing flying really fast.. above 10-15 stories high..!! it came really fast.. and then there was a sudden spark witha tail of light behind that object for just 2 second.... but that tail was very short... just like something burn up at that spot and than that object went away without any tail. Tail might be around 20-40 meters (including the height of the object from ground) of light and went away really quickly... really really fast..!! just like a lighting in thunder..! it was 2 apartment big kind of stuff (aircraft or may be any object..!!) i was thinking it of some sort of airplane... but it was way less than the height of any aircraft follows... and the size as well... the sky horizon was very broad to me... and it went away that fast that any aircraft can't go these days..!! this object was circular(disc shape) with looks...!! as i saw it going to the horizon towards mill grove (Nearest place i know... may be towards King of Prussia mall). I was thinking to take a pic or video of this thing... but couldn't..! it was really fast..!! if would have been an aircraft i could have done it really easily..!!

Loveland, CO
I was sitting on my back porch with my fiance & were stargazing. At 10:45 pm, I observed a craft flying overhead. It had the shape of a trapezoid. I observed the craft between two trees in the backyard for 5 seconds. It was flying North. It was moving faster than anything I've ever seen & it was silent. The sky was clear & the craft really stood out in the night sky.It had four visible lights that were a dim white in color. This is the shape that I observed. The dots represent the light's that I saw & with the two lights that are closest together would be the front of the craft. . . . . The design indicated by the witness did not survive the transfer to our database of sighting reports. We have amended the date above. Possible hoax?? Witness has changed his contact information, so we are unable to contact him. PD

Camden, DE
On the evening of July 31st, 2014, at approximately 10:30pm, I was driving on route 15 north of Woodside, Delaware, midway between Woodside and Camden, Delaware. It was a clear starlit night. All of a sudden I saw an intense strobing light, emerald green/bluish in color. The frequency of the strobe was once every couple of seconds. The strangest thing to me about this sighting is that at no point could I see an object, nor was there any sound associated with it. It was as if there was a haze surrounding the area where the light emanated from and it was as if the light came from nothing but open air. When I initially saw the strobing light, it was directly in front of me. The distance was difficult to determine but my estimate was possibly less than a half mile and probably less than 1000 feet high. The flashing light was so bright that I couldn’t see the object itself, but it traveled at an incredible distance in an instant and changed direction several times. It was almost as if it was following me. I stopped my vehicle to watch the object. As I sat on the side of the road the object came back toward my direction and slowly descended below the tree line into the field. At this point the light stayed lit so it was visible to me as it descended. Even though the light was visible no object could be seen, just the intense and now steady bright light. Once again the distance was difficult to determine because of darkness but it appeared to be less than a half mile away based on the distance of the trees that I could see. The light ceased to flash after approximately thirty seconds or so. I called my grandson who was at my house at the time of the incident and told him what was happening as it happened and stayed on the phone with him during the entire incident. Much to my dismay I am not proficient with the use of my cell phone camera and was unable to capture any of this sighting. The entire incident lasted approximately 5 minutes. I had to ask myself, “What did I just see? Did I really see what I was seeing? What did I see? How do I tell someone that I just saw something but there was nothing there, just a light coming out of nowhere that moved across the sky at incredible speed. If I tell anyone of this, they’ll never believe me”. I called 911 when I got home just a few minutes later to report it in case anyone else witnessed it. I also called the Dover AFB air traffic control tower at the air base and left a message about the incident but they never responded or replied to my call. There were very few cars on the road in this country area. The 911 dispatcher whom I spoke with gave me the number to the National UFO Reporting Center. They instructed me to immediately write the events of the incident down and file a report while it was fresh in my head, which I did. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Mr. Davenport, I made some amendments t my report of which I had saved. I'm including it in the attachment to this email for you. I'm sending it to you so you can read it and have if immediately and I will now resend the report you requested, Thank you so much! I still can't believe what I saw nor can I explain it clearly enough to ever make anyone understand what I saw. ((name deleted)) U.S. Army Retired ((END ADDENDUM)) We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite sincere and sober-minded. We suspect that he is a very good witness. PD

South Daytona, FL
Object had three red/orange lights making the object appear to be a triangle shaped moving steadily from southwest to north east outwards to the ocean. At one point the first ufo either turned off “lights” or disappeared from sight and then re-appeared a second or two later on the same heading. We lost sight of it as it went behind trees. The second ufo appeared from no where with about the same heading but not in the exact path as the first one. We heard no sounds, but from the altitude they were at, we should have heard something as there were actual small aircraft that we could hear in an area farther and in a different direction than the ones being reported.
