Standing on my deck noticed a diamond shaped object at first thought it was a star until I noticed 4 red lights in the shape of a triangle. It did not move nor did it make a sound. Then it omitted an identical craft that came out of it somehow. So now there are 2 just sitting there. This is the second night in a row. I go in to get my phone and it is gone then reappears in a different area in the sky over a rural area. It is not a plane!!! Kinda spooky. My husband has also seen the same thing on a separate occasion. We are both Security officers trained to observe and have an eye for detail. This happened in Elizabeth Twp. Area, facing South

When I was sound asleep I was woken up by my 2 year old German shepherd barking like crazy at the window. I figured it was the wind blowing the trees or something but when I looked out I saw 1 circle shape floating in the middlele of our hay field with almost blinding lights I stand up to get a better look and it bursed into 3 diamond shapes and took off in 3 different directions. I was speechless and didn't know what to do but my dog must have woken up my brother because he said he saw the very end of it

My son woke me up his room was shaking and his chair was vibrating. We went outside and looked to see what could have caused the vibration. We live on a very high street so it could not be a truck. we looked up and to the south of long island we could see a bright red light [very large] and a smaller one below it. We took pictures of this and as of right now it is still there, 20 minutes now. The light stayed steady but would glow brighter slowly and then go back.it looked to have red branches on the southern side of it that branched out.its wasnt so much a pulsating light but there was a definite pattern to it.changing approx every [2] minutes [EST]. It is a much brighter red on the rim and a lighter red on the inside, the smaller one is to low to really see what it is doing. The pattern would be very bright foe 5 seconds and then dim. The pattern then changed to bright red staying longer,[approx [4] min by watch.as i write this the vibration had stopped after 5 to 10 seconds and nothing since. we are going back out to see if it is still there. This cannot be a plane or a tower light we can see that also [the tower light] it is very large and seems quite low.with our cell phones we can actually see it turning shapes like a worm for lack of a better word. It stays in that unformed way twisting and seems circular but not solid.after approx 5 min its then glows into a huge red mass pulsating approx 3x and then goes into a unformed weird worm movement,yet you can see in the video it looks fluid not solid. We have a 10 minute video. It is still out there with the smaller one under it quite far away from the top one doing the same movements.

When I still heard the choppers, I turned to look out of the windows on my front door. That’s when I saw strange lights in the sky. I walked outside and saw some sort of aircraft flying very low, at first the aircraft kind of looked like a large drone. As it approached closer, I realized it was much too large to be a drone. It was shaped more like an octagon from what I could tell and had red and white lights all over it. There were lights covering it and it made it hard to make out the exact shape, but as said before, it imitated a large drone. It was the size of a commercial aircraft, flying not much higher than the trees and making zero noise. I watched it fly over my house, it made a circle over our property and then flew in the same direction that the choppers flew in. I was completely freaked out. I was not a believer in these until now. I noted that my dogs responded to the event because they were missing for hours (until right after the aircraft passed through). They never leave our house far enough to not come when I call them to come inside (especially in 30 degree weather). As soon as the aircraft passed by, they were back on the porch. I am beating myself up because I left my phone in the bedroom and was not able to capture a picture.

I was driving home from church with my mom, when I saw two shapes in the sky. They were right next to each other. I could easily tell that one of the shapes was moving and was indeed a plane producing contrails. The other object, however, was not moving. It was at a standstill in the sky. It was a diamond shaped object. We sat at the light for about 4 minutes and the whole time the second object didn't move. With each passing minute, the plane got farther away and I could tell it was by the contrails coming out of the plane. The object didn't move at all, in the few minutes my mom and I sat at the light.

At first we though it was jets, but we didn’t hear any sounds. Then also noticed that the shape of these objects appeared to be more of a diamond shape with no visible wings.

I went out with them and saw a diamond shape in sky about SSW over the San Tans. It was flashing/flickering orange white red. I just stood there starring and then saw it start to move in a diagonal direction.

Me and my fiance were sitting outside smoking a cigarette in our back Lanai and witness the brightest star out. It was a very strange star because it had 2red beans one at the top one the bottom. It was very still has no movement and it was not flickering like a normal star. It was very stationary for about 30 minutes before we lost inside to carry on our daily life. About 15 minutes later as we walk back outside smoke a cigarette we saw that good white head disappeared but the other stars that were next to it are still in the same position. It is very bizarre for a non flickering star to disappear like that especially one with 2redbeans from top and bottom. This is not the first time that I have seen something like this in my lifetime. But it has been a very long time since I have witnessed something this extraordinary happen. If anyone else has had the same experience on the same day please share I am very curious to know.

At 12:13am on January 6, 2019, me and my girlfriend saw an object shaped like a diamond with 4 lights directly above us...they appeared to be stars, at first, but only a few hundred feet above. We stopped the car and got out, as we looked for about 5 seconds out of the car it began to take off slow than really fast till we chased it for 10 seconds in the car before we lost sight of it headed over Milwaukee... Object moved like a stealth plane making no noise and made turns left to right normal air crafts don't. but again I could see thru it as it copied the night sky.

Easthampton, MA
Driving home from work south on rt 5 near Island Rd. on Northampton/Easthampton line when I saw three stationary bright white lights hovering over the Connecticut River between Mt. Tom and Skinner Mt. The lights were in a straight row, with the 2 outer lights being slightly larger. Of the three lights, the center one was strobing slowly which I thought was odd since planes usually have the lights on their wings flashing. This was a pure, bright, white light, not a yellow light that incandescent bulbs emit. The center light was level with the other two and was pulsating separately. The center light emitted a more "rainbow" like light, similar to a moonstone, but was mostly white-passing. I thought it was a plane coming in for a landing since it seemed flat, at the Northampton airport nearby but there were not standard blue, green, or red flashing lights to indicate it was an aircraft. It also did not waver up or down, it remained stationary in the sky until I had been pulled over for about 30 seconds or so. I then thought it might be a dual propeller helicopter, but it was MUCH too large to be that. I thought that it was then possibly a drone, but it was much too large to be a drone. After I had pulled over to the side of the road to continue monitoring the craft, it began to tilt starboard upon its path heading north. It slowly crossed to my left, past the line where my car was pulled over which was when I was able to see the bottom of the craft as it was still in a tilt position hovering over the river. There were 4 identical sized pure white bright lights emitting from the bottom of the craft in a square/diamond shape. In addition, there were 2 more of the smaller center-strobing lights beneath the craft, below where the center one was seen when I first saw the craft facing toward me. I turned off my radio and lowered my window to hear if it was making any sound, but I didn't detect that it was. There were cars travelling both ways in the distance so it may have distorted my! hearing No sound like helicopter blades or a plane's engine even when it was parallel with my vehicle and less than 1/2 mile away from my car over the river. The craft slowly continued its course at about 30-40 MPH north/north east over the river (less than 500 ft above the water) before I pulled back into traffic and headed home. The sun had set by this time so I was not able to see much else of the craft in the darkness other than the positioning of the lights at both angles that I viewed the craft. I felt like I was looking at something I wasn't supposed to be looking at, as it only changed course after I had pulled off the road and started intently staring at it. I was shocked no one in front or behind me had pulled over to witness it with me. After about 1 minute of direct sight with the craft, it began travelling away from me, following the river north/northeast, I decided I wanted to head home as I was scared about the actuality of what I had just seen. It was not my first time seeing a UFO, but it was the first time I had seen one this close up.

Le 26 décembre 2018 à 06h45 un témoin déjeunant dans son salon est intrigué par la vue du déplacement d'un objet dans le ciel. Il pense à un satellite mais sa grandeur l'étonne. Le témoin sort et observe un objet dont quatre points lumineux lui suggère une forme carrée. L'objet se déplace du Sud/Sud Ouest vers l'Est sans qu'aucun bruit particulier ne soit entendu. Il se déplace sur une trajectoire rectiligne mais commence à "onduler" puis fait un long virage avant d'être perdu de vue. Le témoin a très probablement observé un passage de la Station Spatiale Internationale (ISS). Il a cru voir un satellite "mais c'était plus gros". Effectivement l'ISS apparaît bien plus gros et plus lumineux qu'un satellite usuel. On vérifie que l'ISS a bien ce matin-là une trajectoire conforme à la description de Sud Ouest vers EST et dans l'exacte plage temporelle de l'observation. Voir le relevé ci-joint de trajectoires obtenu sur www.calsky.com. L'aspect décrit correspond à beaucoup de témoignages reçus au GEIPAN. (Voir le site GEIPAN www.geipan.fr avec recherche de cas selon mot clef ISS, voir aussi la vidéo explicative Un satellite ou la Station Spatiale Internationale (ISS)). Certains de ces témoignages GEIPAN font état, comme ici, d'une courbure de la trajectoire. Le fait est que la trajectoire, telle que vue par le témoin, d'un satellite qui ne passe pas par la verticale est réellement courbe. De plus, le passage au plus haut (ici 40°, mais le témoin le perçoit comme "presque au-dessus") est propice à de mauvaises perceptions de la trajectoire, car plus l'objet est haut moins le témoin est sensible à son positionnement et à son évolution dans son repérage de base qui est Nord, EST, SUD, OUEST. Les perceptions d'oscillation sur la trajectoire sont aussi classiques et correspondent au phénomène de perception connu appelé autocinétique (voir l'article suivantL'effet autocinétique.qui se produit lors de l'observation d'un point lumineux dans l'obscurité. Une particularité ici est que le témoin distingue plusieurs points lumineux distincts, 5 exactement. La capacité de séparation angulaire (distinction entre deux points) de l’œil humain est de l'ordre de 1/60 de degré, soit 1/3600 de radian. Pour un objet à 400 km de distance, les points ne pourraient être distingués que si leur séparation est supérieure à 100m. Hors la station a une envergure de l'ordre de 100 m ce qui en théorie ne permet pas de distinguer des points à l’intérieur. Mais la capacité de séparation est une notion complexe qui dépend du témoin (celui-ci peut avoir une capacité au delà de la moyenne) et du contraste radiométrique qui est ici très fort car ces lumières sont vues sur fond noir. Un facteur deux ou trois en mieux par rapport à cette capacité standard permet d’expliquer l’observation de plusieurs points (plus réfléchissant sur la station). Le fait que la station soit à ce moment-là accompagnée de quatre autres satellites de ravitaillement (voir relevé de satellites joint) ne permet pas d'expliquer ces 5 points car les satellites sont alors arrimés à la station (sauf peut-être un seul à un moment donné) et cela n'accroît pas la taille d'ensemble de l'objet. La particularité ci-dessus n'est pas totalement expliquée mais ne s'oppose pas pour autant à l'hypothèse. Enfin la station spatiale est alors presque aussi brillante que VENUS. Il n'est guère possible que le témoin ait observé un PAN autre que l'ISS, sans distinguer aussi l'ISS qui serait alors en voisinage proche du PAN en évoluant comme ce dernier et en même temps. En conséquence le GEIPAN classe le cas en A : observation très probable de la Station Spatiale Internationale (ISS). [GEIPAN classification B — ISS]

Hello Sr . I was in the back porch in my wheelchair a few hour ago, when I was coming back inside the house, a hummingbird caught my attention, so I pulled my iPad and took a few pictures of him. When I was back inside looked at the same location, but don’t know what picture is it. The photo submitted by the witness shows a rufous hummingbird in flight, together with a lens flare, caused by pointing a camera at the Sun. PD

On November 8, 2018, at approximately 7:30pm, we were walking our dogs down our street and saw a very large (larger than our house), squished-diamond shaped, black aircraft, with red and green non-flashing lights, moving extremely slowly from left to right. It was just over the tree tops, but lower than the top of the radio tower, that was to its left. It slowed almost to a stop and turned to its left and went below the tree line. There was no obvious aircraft engine noise, but had a low hum to it. I was waiting to hear a crash and an explosion, but it never happened. My friend, who is a pilot, was with me. He said he had never seen anything like it. Our neighbor said she also saw it, but did not know what it was. What was remarkable was how large, quiet and slow moving it was.

Witnessed a multi colored stationary object in the sky. Hard to determine shape, appeared diamond shaped. Lights changed/flashed: red, blue, white, yellow. Appeared to be spinning. Called my adult daughter who was at a friend's house....they ran outside and also observed the same object. I watched it for about 20 minutes, it never moved. May have dimmed from time to time. I went back outside a number of times to observe it, eventually after about 45-60 minutes, I looked and it was gone. But, the whole time I observed it. It remained absolutely stationary and exhibited multi colors, and rotated through the same pattern. I tried to get pictures/videos but my phone is only good enough to capture darkness.

((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) The object I observed not quite sure what it was it had red and white lights it was really bright white light with like a tail behind it like a comet and it stopped and just stood in place for a few seconds like a helicopter and all of a sudden it's shot back from the right to the left again for approximately I don't know I guess a few miles stop steel again and then shot straight up and disappeared at first I thought it was a falling star when I first seen it but a falling star does not stop in mid-air and start over I sent you three pictures I hope you got them was not the clearest pictures but one of them you can see the tail behind it again this was 15-20 miles west of Prescott Arkansas on Interstate 40 halfway between Little Rock and Memphis Tennessee I told the other guy that was running with me that start with me to send a report he said he would before the night was out I hope you can make heads or tails out of the pictures I tried to zoom in with his cell phone as good as I could but as I said I'm not the best with technology God bless you and have a great weekend oh I meant to say when it stopped it kind of had a reddish tint to it like a reddish light then turn to bright white light like somebody turned a spotlight on you but it was a long ways away of course it was just not right on top of me but it was a distance and you can tell it was close enough I got that photo We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be eloquent, sincere, and sober-minded. We suspect that he is a very reliable witness. Witness has provided photos, which indicate a lighted object, seen against a dark sky, but the image is blurry, and, therefore, ambiguous. PD

I was looking up at a small Alaska airlines plane making its approach to John Wayne airport. I noticed a group of triangular craft flying in sequence and then they disappeared within 10 seconds. They were white in color.

Chilling with my friends on one of our cars outside of my house, stargazing. From behind my roof I see a formation of 4 lights emerge, I thought initially it was a plane. But it moved too quickly to be a plane, as within seconds, it seemed to make around a 75 degrees arc possibly, before fading. It did not go behind trees or under the horizon, just faded into the sky. Although I tried to divert the attention of my friends to the object, it disappeared before they saw it.

While writing electronic music in my studio, I looked out to see a strange aircraft flying close and low outside. Could have been a f-117, but looked as if it had a strange cigar with a cross bubbling from the bottom of the craft.
