Fort Collins, CO
Around sunset, I was taking a walk with my dog on the northwest edge of Fort Collins, behind Lincoln Middle School, on the far north edge of the athletic fields. Just beyond here, the terrain drops down abruptly to the north into the Cache la Poudre River valley, thus providing an unobstructed view to the north and northeast. I was preoccupied with some beautiful orange sunlit clouds over the mountains to the west, taking a couple pictures of these clouds on my iphone at 17:46 and 17:47, and thinking about sending one of these pictures and a text to a friend. I could have first noticed the strange lights before I took the first picture, between the two pictures, or perhaps just after the second picture. The "UFO" I'm reporting didn't look as if it was "flying" at all, but rather appeared as an array of about 50-60 "unidentified" bright white circular lights to my north-northeast. The array consisted of 5 vertical strings of about 10-12 lights evenly spaced on each string. The 5 strings of vertically arranged lights were evenly spaced horizontally and apparently extended to the ground, giving the appearance of 50-60 spotlights mounted on 5 towers. The lights looked uniform in their size, white color, and brightness. I think all lights were on when I first noticed them. Then over a period of perhaps 1-2 minutes, the lights on a given tower would all turn off and quickly back on, in a repeated pattern where the rightmost tower of lights would flash off-on, followed sequentially by next tower's lights flashing off-on, continuing to the left-most tower, and with that sequence repeating several times (like some kind of stadium lighting light show). With this right-to-left off-on sequencing continuing, the "off" period of each tower's lights began to progressively get a little longer before coming back on, with 2 then 3 towers being off simultaneously, until finally all lights remained off. It had the appearance of a 2-3 minute "shutdown" sequence from all lights being on. It was too dark to see any kind of towers that the lights may have been mounted on. I noted that it was 17:50 shortly after the lights remained off. I think official sunset was 17:40, several minutes after the sun had set over the mountains. The reason I didn't immediately pay attention to these lights is I was preoccupied with my cloud pictures and subconsciously assumed the lights were on the NIST WWVB phased array towers north of Fort Collins (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWVB). These towers were 5-6 miles north-northeast of my location, in the same general direction as I saw the lights. However, as I began noticing the strange sequencing of off-on light patterns, I realized that these didn't look like the NIST towers, which as I remembered and confirmed as they appeared more clearly as it got darker after the unidentified lights remained off, don't look evenly spaced from afar and which have only 1 or 2 red lights on each tower. After the unidentified lights remained off, the impression I had of the 5 "towers of lights" is that they were closer and extended to a higher angular height than the NIST towers, were a little to the right of where the NIST towers were, were evenly spaced as opposed to! the unevenly spaced (when viewed from my vantage) NIST towers, and the unidentified white lights were bigger and much brighter than the red NIST lights. I've lived in Fort Collins for 37 years and have never noticed the NIST towers with bright white lights.

It was a bright white/gray circle type shape, It was hard to tell because the way it was moving. It was moving back and forth very quick faster than any kind of plane could move. Then it just went in one direction and disappeared in the sky as if it was never there.

While standing behind my house I took the following video with my cell phone. There was a "haze" in the sky and for just the few minutes I saw it, everything was silent! That is very unusual in East L.A..

Dear Sirs, While standing in the alley behind my house you glanced up into the sky and noticed a round reddish/orange ball of "fire" with a cube inside. It appeared to stop for 3 seconds and then continue to move around the sky in an erratic manner,(zig zag). I took a video of the event and am sending it to you for the second time.

This is two videos from my security camera. Both events took place within 45 minutes and lasted seconds. This is the rear ally of my building. The area is less than 25 feet across and my car is the one with a roof rack For months I have tried to explain it. This never happened before and never happened again. I tried to replicate it and could not.

I was sitting in my chair watching TV and talking to a friend of mine I just hung up with on the phone when the lights appeared over the tree line coming from the town of Roanoke Rapids they lights popped on really bright had 4 red lights small and moving around it and almost like a triangle pattern the bright lights the three white yellowish lights in the middle or oil type together and they were extremely bright as they passed over my house they lit up my entire yard at the time I couldn't get up out of my chair because I have a bad leg to observe it from outside. My next door neighbor said she heard it fly over and it was extremely loud I didn't hear any sound. It flew off in the direction of the old airport that we have here. The three lights in the middle seem to be extremely large about the size of a blimp Maybe but the little red lights on the sides and around it did not seem like they were attached to the object at all it will moving independently.

One night about two years ago, my mother,sister, and I went to a local KFC/Taco Bell next to a Home Depot along the I-95 highway. we went in a truck and I was young and wanted to ride in the truck bed, so I did. We were in line at the drive through, and as I was laying down face-up, I saw a single circle-shaped white object that looked like it was emitting a faint white glow. The object entered my field of view from almost directly South, going North by North-West. After about 1 to 2 seconds of straight movement, it began moving North-East. We were nearby to an airport at the time and I knew all the types of aircraft that flew in the area, along with their identifying lights. The object was going far faster than any other planes I had seen, and made a strange turn that looked like someone drawing a 113 degree angle, with a sudden change in course at the point of turning.

When we were watching it, at about 70 degrees from us I saw something unexpected. A light appeared just to the south of the station. It looked just like a star had appeared from nothing and lasted maybe 2 seconds. I didn't say anything about it, thinking I would tell my wife later. About 5 seconds later it appeared again. Same thing, looking like a star and lasting about 2 seconds before disappearing again. Again I didn't say anything. Then my wife says did you see that light. She said she saw it twice, just the same as I witnessed it. It was about 1 inch distance if you took a ruler to measure it the sky, south of the station. I don't know what it was, it just blinked on and then off twice.

I was driving along Granbury Road in a NE direction approaching Interstate 20. I witnessed a bright bluish white ball in the sky. My speed was about 40 mph. I looked out the driver window and about 30 degrees above my head this bright round object was moving quickly through the sky in a straight line parallel to the ground. It was moving at least twice as fast as I was. If it was a long distance from my car it could have been extremely fast. I think there were clouds in the sky, but I’m not sure. Before it disappeared it turned into 2 lines parallel to the ground, one thicker than the other, then quickly vanished.

I went inside to get my family to witness it. They also saw the object until it was covered by clouds once again.

Outside through a small line of trees I could see a orange glow. I noticed the orange glow was moving quite rapidly and at an irregular pattern. I then heard a sound of an airplane when I looked up further as I was standing under our patio it was a jet that flew near the orange round glowing object. Next to the jet appeared to be another glowing object not as bright and also appeared to have more control over its flying behavior. I continued to watch the larger object as it was moving east to west and moving towards the front of my house with unobstructed views. The glowing object appeared to be moving towards the ground and getting very close to me. I ran in the house to grab binoculars to see if I could make out any actual features of the object. I was in the house maybe ten seconds and when I returned the object was gone. When I looked east a meteor flew.

The object remained there for about 5 seconds, then just disappeared instantly. I never took my eyes off it so I know I didn’t just lose sight of it, it simply disappeared from the horizon.

It was flat like a Frisbee with no center. The entire underneath was a blueish color. It had a bright green (mistaked it for the aurora at first glance) gas like aura as it hovered, then it started to move. Shortly after leaving a glowing gas cloud behind, it shot upwards which my photos show. I frantically tried to get the camera set up. Missed the glowing craft its self, but the exhaust photo corroborates my claim. This thing was massive. Several 747 jets could have fit within the circumference.

I was searching online for reported UFO sightings to try and find something similar to what I saw On January 24, 2018. I found this report on www.ufosightingsdaily.com/2018/02/japanese-rocket-followed-by-ufo-on-jan.htm I saw this exact object - to the "t" exact in the sky over my home in Oak Hills, California on January 24th! I was out taking feed to my horses when they spooked/startled at something while in their pens, I turned around to look and saw this object very low in the sky - was between my house and a very large Maple tree in my backyard. I yelled to my daughter to look as it was so low in the sky I thought it was going to crash. The object banked up on the left, then up on the right, then up on the left again and then completely disappeared in the sky. I ran to the other side of my house to see if it was still visible and it was no where to be found. It was a clear and quiet early evening, about 6:30 - 7:00pm pacific time. I am very grateful for this post as I could not describe it well enough to family and friends, but now I can show them exactly what it was I saw!

I was just sitting on my front porch smoking a cigarrette when I looked at the sky as I normally do and I noticed that there was a very bright blue colored star that I had never seen before. The more I watched, i noticed that it was moving, but very little. It's altitude stayed pretty much the same but it was bouncing from side to side as if to steady. The blue light is not star blue, rather, it appears LED. But it is only blue, a perfect circle of blue emitted light. For the past hour it has changed altitude and position slightly, but still in relative proximity. My wife came out to watch and noticed yet another light within a couple of miles of the other. Focusing in with a camera reveals that the light is luminated by what appear to be hundreds of small lights of different colors, yet primarily blue. I have see an oval and one cone in my lifetime. They were both hauling some serious ass. These ones un-nerve me, because they are so stationary, in what seems a strategic distance apart. If i could elevate myself in my current position, I fear that I would see more of them in a line. This has been going on for an hour now, and they have yet to break position. Pictures are unfortunately on my camera because my phone will not zoom in to that altitude.. Which says A LOT because six days ago I was able to zoom in on the FEMA cargo carrier that landed at McGee Tyson, and be able to identify it from 15,000 feet.

There was 2 circle shaped lights, they were very bright and hovering. Then the lights went out, we heard a loud roaring sound like a jet and saw lighting flashing sideways. It sounded like it went straight over us, then nothing.

Three lights in the sky blinking as if two on the side and on in the middle. The sky was clear and no cloud cover. Three of us watched these Lights blink off and on as they did not move. Then suddenly three smaller craft arrived. They showed up out of nowhere! Two moved slow to the right and one began to climb at an incredible rate higher then the other objects and it was very bright. As we watch this the largest object began to turn to it's right and I know because the way the lights moved. As it turned, now this object had been sitting perfectly still for 10 minutes, and now it's moving and I can see that it's disk-shaped, and it's huge! Then suddenly the area it was in seemed to magically have a cloud for it to vanish behind..it was as if it made it's own camo, and it was gone..sat and watched the other lights move away..about 13 minutes passed now...and now it's back!!!! The largest is roated it's light back to it's original postion. No cloud!! Two of us decided to get in the car and go towards it. As we headed towards the direction I saw what must have been five police cars some with there lights on no sirens some grouped together and other cutting up and down streets. Then as I turned my vehicle away I saw a large..what I can only describe as ambulance type vehicle but twice as long white, no markings or plates??..with flashing red and orange lights .. When I got home I googled if anyone had seen anything..crazy cuz all these plates are suppose to be visible and then NASA even has a statement about being able to see the international space station tonight..now I don't recall anything in the paper about this, and I'm sure just like the eclipse we had everyone would of been outside to watch that..this was no space station..this was a large round craft with smaller craft in the same facility. And the way it made it's own cloud! I'm a complete skeptic but these wasnt what NASA said..this wasn't planets sattiles ...planets...it wasnt airplanes or helicopters..the planes would have been to close together and be able to hover at complete stand still. And I'm aware helicopters can hover but the way it turned it was one large vechicle and vanished only to reappear..and the way the other smaller ones appeared out of thin air!!?! And the bright one cutting be straight up.. commercial aircraft don't movie like that... Yes the climb but the move towards a direction as they do.this cut throught the sky lime a razor higher and higher..fast! then stopped...and as the large object made its first turn..the smaller bright craft was just gone, as if it bolted out of the atmosphere. Also, the lights were not the same as a plane..very strange stuff. We have attempted to contact by telephone the source of the report, but have not been successful in reaching him. A Yakima newspaper, at NUFORC's suggestion, has attempted to find corroborating information about the alleged sighting, but has been unable to find any other reports related to the event. PD
