Ok, so I was at band camp when at 7:30 multiple black 4 star pointed floating objects began to fly over the football feild. It looked like it had a small opening in the middle if the UFOs maybe for a camera. I don't know. Anyway there were 50+ of them. They moved across the football field in about 2 and a half minutes. They were floating at about 400 feet maybe 500. Some were dipping down and horizontal but still managed to stay at the same altitude.others were flat. They were about the size of a hubcap and pure black they looked like a 4 leaf clover but the leaves were touching. They looked to be no more than a few inches thick in width. I have no idea what I saw. Source does not indicate a date of the sighting, and provides no contact information. Therefore, we are uncertain of the date of the alleged sighting, and have assigned a date above, which is our best guess. We are uncertain as to whether this is a serious report. It may be a hoax. PD

At around 11pm, (Power rd & Guadalupe) myself & 3 other adults witnessed this strange object humming above about 200ft in sky. It had row of 6 green lights & row of 6 red lights above the them. The craft zipped across sky (west along Guadalupe Rd then cut hard left & hovered in place then dropped down 100ft then zipped vertical to about 200 ft then disasters. The lights flashed. It sounded like an ultra light plane but it wasn't. it was so close to us if it had been at dusk we might gave caught a photo. Either way it freaked me out.

My wife and I witnessed an event that appeared to be an explosion of a very high aircraft or even a spacecraft. I reported to 911 as we were observing it. The 911 operator called back about 40 minutes later advising that she reported our sighting to the FAA and suggested I submit a report to you. At 8:05 PM, about 30 minutes after sundown my wife and I were in the back yard. The sky was clear, half moon very bright. Light from the sun was still glowing in the western half of the sky. No stars were visible yet. My wife pointed to a very bright star almost directly overhead. It was a Venus type brightness. I realized that it was too early for stars and is Venus currently visible at dawn. I then assumed it was a satellite reflecting sunlight which we often see. I quickly realized if it was a satellite it had to very large, like the International Space Station which we are familiar with. The ISS is not visible for us at this time. I immediately recognized the “star” object was not a satellite because it seemed stationary almost directly overhead. It was absolutely not moving across the mid-point of the sky at the pace we often seen evening satellites moving. Looking at the object for ten plus seconds it suddenly became several times brighter. The new brightness lasted about five seconds and then quickly dimmed to less brightness than it was originally. A few seconds later a white cloud appeared around the star like object. We describe the size of the cloud as 20-30 diameters of the “star” object. I arrived at that diameter simulating the size of the “star” object with an ink dot and thereby extrapolating the size of the cloud. The cloud was semitransparent rather that a very solid white; however it was definitely white. Suddenly a bright “star” like object moved out of the cloud area at an angle to the right and from our perspective it appeared to be moving downward as if falling toward earth. The “falling” object was far less bright than the original object. I had my cell phone in hand so I dialed 911 to report the sighting in case it was some type of high altitude explosion. The cloud and falling object were visible as I made contact with the 911 operator and gave my report. The cloud and then the object faded from view while I was still on the phone, which I assume was about a minute. I checked the exact time of the sighting by my cell phone record of the 911 call. After the sighting faded, I looked around in the sky and because of the fading sunlight, there were no stars or planets visible.

What looked like a black bowling ball with no marking or lights on it moved quietly, slowly and steadily about high tree top level. It crossed our back yard as it traveled east across the oak tree tops. Our last sighting a month later through those trees was an orange fireball coming from the east around 8pm. Too large to be a plane light. It traveled quietly northward for 30 seconds until it turned into that black ball which then receded eastward again over the trees. Amazing. No photos though. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Silverton, CO
I was camping in the meadow across CR2 (W) of the Maggie Gulch outhouse. Somewhat before dawn (4:45ish?), I noticed a very bright “star” just above the horizon to the east. Figured it was a plane, but it didn't move and the light(s) didn't blink. Rather, the light (looked like a single light) seemed to keep changing from white to green and back, somewhere between twinkling and pulsating. I watched for 10 mins. or so and finally dug out my binoculars (small B&L, don’t know the specs). When I looked through them, I saw an object shaped like an open/wide V, with the curved apex of the V pointed north. The apex was black (or unlit). The arms looked like long, thin fluorescent tubes that were both completely illuminated with pulsating light, which was variously green and white (as I saw with the naked eye) and some red. As I watched (15 mins. or so?), dawn started to break and the stars all faded, but I could still see whatever it was ( a variant of the relativel! y common V-shaped UFO?) Perhaps it had moved very slowly a little to the south. At that point, I stopped watching (tired of peering through the binocs) and went back to sleep.

Panama City Beach, FL
2 of us sat on beach and saw V shaped craft come due north at us from out in the gulf. Glided over beach into large cloud. 10 mins later saw it again come from behind us and heading due south toward us again. Glided over beach, turned east in the blink of an eye, and headed down the beach line. Dull dark grey in colour. No lights. No windows. Pointed at the front but flat at the 2 back ends. Very skinny with lines across it, like it was made of sectional squares. No noise. No wind displacement. Absolutely huge. 1/4 mile from us and must have been 300ft across at the back. Speed was about 40mph.

There was no noise, nothing but a steady shining white light. However, we both stopped to watch this object and pondered what it could be. For several minutes it continued to shine brightly, stationary. But suddenly it quickly began to move, within 15 seconds it “zoomed” North, disappearing into a faint glimmer in the night sky. We have never seen something like this before.

Approached 3 of us on verandah were 3 white lighted objects (thought were falling stars at first) approached in perfect synchronization from the south. All 3 stopped overhead abruptly and hovered. Then 1 shot off northwest. The other 2 hovered for a moment longer and then in perfect synchronization shot off in precise opposite directions and disappeared; one east, one west. 3 of us sitting on veranda to watch in astonishment. Mentionable: we are close to airplane directional beacon (I think it's called that.) The night was very dark. There was some light pollution and yet these 3 stood out in amazement and awe.

A Loud rumbling noise in the sky coming from the southern direction. Almost like the rumble you hear when a earthquake is coming. Only their was no earthquake.

A cluster of red, blue wht lights seperated and then returned to a center. The cluster would spread out then return to look liie a star. Clouds covered the sky and couldn't see it anymore.

I'm sure it might not be light show. If it was light show then light rays I could have seen but its something like circular fading light rotating.

My husband and I viewed what appeared to be a large jet with three smaller aircraft off of one wing and four off the other. These aircraft seemed attached by a "cord". Another smaller aircraft was behind the tail of the jet, also attached. The smaller craft were on the exact same axis as the wings and did not change angle or distance from the main aircraft.

I believe it was about 300 to 400 ft. above the ground moving about 25 miles an hour....

Over Redmond/Issaquah, Washington, Sunday 8/24/14 @ 8:15pm. Husband and I saw what resembled a meteor. A small dark spot followed by a thick short vapor. Was unlike a jet in that there were no lights (and no jet)and it did not present like any contrail I've seen in my life time. It was odd to us, so we felt compelled to share. Difficult to judge the distance, It looked close. This continued till the trees blocked our view after about 45 secs.

From 1230 to 0300 AM on 21 Aug 14, there were several booming sounds that almost sounded like thunder, and slightly shook our house. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Pendleton, NY
I was looking in the sky to check the weather & spotted an object in the SW sky very high over the tree lines. It was very bright & was shaped like a bird cage/dome. It had what appeared to be possible windows with white lights coming out of them. I jumped from one spot then as the light went out it seemed to jump up then down and left and right. I grabbed the binoculars and watched it for about 45 seconds. I ran and woke my husband up from a dead sleep but by the time he got up it was gone. I do live in a path of some airports but, after 28 years I know a plane in the sky and their flight patterns. There was no sound either. Very strange.

Sandusky, OH
As I was driving closer it seem to get closer then stores maybe 1000 feet in the are and stayed there the entire time I was driving and a bad feeling I had to stop at a rest stop to understand what I just saw I called my friend and no one believed me at all? So as I got to my friends house shortly after seeing whatever I saw I went out to smoke a cigarette and I'm telling you you could not make this up there was a bright light almost what I just seen but it was slightly higher than last time and I called my friend outside and we both watched as the light went from bright to dim red and disappeared. I still don't know what just happened, I was afraid and I don't get afraid at all. We are uncertain as to whether this report has been submitted as a serious-minded one. The date is flawed, and we suspect the time is wrong, as well, although we cannot be certain of that fact. We have attempted to contact the source of the report to obtain confirmation of time and date, but have not been successful in our attempts. PD

While looking into the sky, they saw something weird and it started to move away but just floated. It was almost a bronze color with looked like pipes all over it but was not a drone and it changed shape. I have a couple of pictures with it.

The same lights that were observed on the 18th where back again in the exact same location. They were the same bright orange lights in the exact same Z pattern. My daughter got up to let the dog out and she came in screaming that there was something fixing to crash in the woods across the field. I immediately looked out the window and it was the same craft as two night before. It was in the same area, lite up just as bright and raising and lowering behind the tree line. It was only observed for 15 minutes at the most before everything went dark.

Gresham, OR
Early evening, I noticed a cloud formation shaped like a angled rip suddenly appear. Within 20-30 seconds the top of the rip stretched until it was nearly double. I couldn't stop staring and I'm glad I didn't because out of nowhere a rocket-shaped object without any visable propulsion system appeared beneath the cloud "rip". It was smooth and round on the head of the ship and elongated and tapered off at the bottom in a rounded point. Strange wings were located on either side (which looked almost like upside-down versions of the ship itself) and were strangely detached but moving with the ship regardless. The UFO was completely silent. The ship speedily moved up and through the rip and then proceeded beyond it but seemed to be dissolving once it had cleared the cloud, and was gone in 2-3 seconds. No more than half a minute later, 2 government jets passed nearly over the rip and proceeded on. 10 minutes later a strong wind started blowing (Not even a breeze beforehand) and blew for maybe 15 minutes before dying down completely.

two light up letter "Z" and a light up letter "Y" floating in the night sky. They were lit up by what looked like multiple lightbulbs to form the letters they were floating quickly but didn't looked controlled by an engin, they were moving with the wind like balloons but way to big to be balloons. and they were very bright

I arrived home and when I got out of my truck I noticed that across the field just above the tree line were these unusal mass of bright orange lights. My four sons were there with me and I said what in the world is that. Nobody had an idea. The light were in a Z-shaped pattern, the best we could tell the craft was a very large square shape there was three set of lights on each side each set of light were in a Z shape pattern. There was no engine noise or any other noise for that matter. The lights remained in the same position just above the tree line in the distance and then it slowly lower down out of sight behindthe trees. You could see a bright glow of orange and then after a few minutes it slowly rose back above the tree line. Ttwo of my boys got pictures and video footage. After about 30 minutes another craft with similar orange lights appeared a lot higher up in the sky. It wasn't as bright but it was alsoa lot further away. The first craft continued to ! raise and lower in what appeared to be the same area for about another 20 minutes and then both craft just simply seemed to turn off the lights. There was no noise of departure the lights just went out.
