Two objects seen in night sky, changed colors randomly, white, red, green and blue. Most often appeared white or red. Objects were bright, and seemed to glide in circles separately. No discernable patterns to color changes or movement. After 15-20 minutes, objects seemed to drift farther away and then out of line of sight due to neighborhood trees. The objects seemed very close at none point during the sighting, but made no sound.

Atlanta, GA

The red light was all that was visible. Sometimes there was an aura coming off. It was flying south past Piedmont Park, then turned west. Two more followed. It is a clear night.

Middletown, CT

Viewed Glowing object in southeasterly direction from Southern Middletown area placing the object over the CT river near Haddam. It glowed and hovered and did not remain stationary as it moved behind trees and then appeared again while I remained on my back porch in the same position. After sighting this I noticed planes began flying towards the object. Not typical planes or commercial aircraft. These were different. I could tell by the sound and light colors of the aircraft which were different than most commercial airliners. The object remained for over two hours then began moving upward in the sky until it was gone. It reappeared once again 2 weeks later.

Honolulu, HI

On Friday night of May 16, 2014, I was looking out my bedroom window over diamond head. I noticed two objects in the sky that appeared to be moving closer. However, one craft moved in line with the first one and stayed stationary for a over a minute. I ran outside to call my dad who also witnessed the event. As we went to reach for our cameras to document the evidence. The two craft moved backwards very slowly until they could not be seen anymore. It was weird because they were not planes and the craft seemed to have no directionality in their movement, except when they retracted and moved off. The shape of the crafts, as I assume they were, appeared to be a in a triangular almost dome shape. The top and sides where clearly illuminated in a bright red, almost the color of a red stop light. The bottom of the crafts, had no illumination. There were no sounds emitted, nor where there any sudden fast movements. It almost was as if, they appeared out of nowhere and then moved away.

Cumming, GA

Driving east/northeast along Hwy 9, my wife and I both noticed a small fiery trail heading due west around 9:40 pm EST on 5/15/14. As it passed behind the trees to the left of the road, we slowed down and could still see the trail heading away behind the trees. Object seemed too low and slow to be a meteor. It seemed close. No lights whatsoever on it, so we ruled out a plane. Honestly, the only thing that seems to fit the bill is maybe a rocket or drone. It caught my attention and my wife’s attention immediately. The altitude, velocity, and visual appearance were unlike anything we had ever seen in a suburban area. The object flew in a direct line and did not change course whatsoever.

Sacramento, CA

While sitting in Bethel Henshel park in east Sacramento at approximately 11:20 pm, we observed an extremely large, super bright, white light appear above the neighborhood tree line in the northeast sky. It rapidly descended in a straight vertical line until out of sight. It looked like it was falling as there was no horizontal movement at all. The whole thing lasted 2 seconds max. It did not appear to be a falling star as it was too large, too low and falling too vertically. Seconds later, a helicopter which had previously flown over the park, circled back and began flying over the area where the object had descended out of sight.

MY EXPERIENCE: In the early morning hours of May 12, 2014 (after 1:30 AM when I went to bed but before 2:00), I awoke to an intense sound of extremely low frequency throbbing that seemed to fill my bedroom. In fact the low frequency throbbing--repeating approximately every one second--seemed to vibrate my entire body. It was as if I was immersed in a vibrational field that permeated me, as opposed to the sound propagating through the room from one direction or another. Yet nothing else in the room was apparently vibrating, not even the windows. This sound was unlike anything I'd ever heard or felt before. I found the low-frequency throbbing to be extremely agitating to the point of being intolerable. So I was compelled to get out of bed to locate the source. I'm on the 2nd floor of a 3-story condo unit so I initially thought the sound might be caused by someone in a unit above, below or beside mine -- from WHAT I had no idea. The sound was totally unlike anything I could identify. As usual, my bedroom door was closed, having to open it to check things out. But as I walked around the dark condo I could not locate the direction of the source of the sound, which appeared to be uniform in intensity throughout the 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo. The sound did not appear to be coming from any perceivable location -- either outside the condo or inside from adjacent units. My daughter slept in the middle bedroom with her little dog and, glancing in, I did not see any movement. While I'm usually of a rather calm, deliberative nature (being a scientist), this low frequency throbbing nevertheless agitated me in a way that is difficult to describe -- more so than, say, from someone using a subwoofer above or below me which can cause the floor or ceiling to resonate. The emotion I felt was not so much from being incensed that someone would make such noise in the middle of the night. Instead it was from the sensation of my body being violated in a bizarre manner. I was having a reaction like I would if I suddenly discovered that I was covered in leaches but wasn't able to remove any of them. Unable to locate any likely source of the sound -- which was of constant pitch, intensity and periodicity -- or conjure up a hypothesis as to its bizarre nature -- I reluctantly went back to bed. I must add that when I initially awoke to the sound it was as if I had only slept for a moment -- awaking from a blank, dreamless state. Likewise, I have no idea how long I lingered awake after returning to bed. It was as if someone flipped a switch and suddenly it was morning. This is quite unusual for me when I usually remember multiple dreams every night. Subsequently, I was amazed to discover, upon listening to "Coast-to-Coast" radio at 1:20 AM on May 30th, that another person (in Pryor, Oklahoma) had experienced this same low-frequency throbbing that he said "vibrated through me!" --MY DAUGHTER'S EXPERIENCE -- I didn't mention anything about this bizarre phenomenon to my daughter that morning, other than asking her why her dog was sleeping in the hallway. That was when she asked me: "Were you standing in my doorway last night?" Puzzled, I replied: "No, why would I do that???" Looking disturbed, she said: "SOMEONE was standing in my doorway last night and it creeped me out!" Asking her to explain, she said she woke up a few minutes after 2 AM to go to the bathroom, using her cellphone light to navigate. Curiously, her dog was not in bed with her but was instead standing at the end of the hallway, next to my closed bedroom door. She picked him up and carried him back to bed with her, only to have him immediately jump down and nervously pace the room before running out. This highly unusual behavior spooked her, as the dog is a creature of habit, sleeping with her all night, EVERY night during the 2 years we've had him. At that point she perceived a dark presence standing in her doorway -- apparently on the threshold of her perception -- and in a panic she shined her cellphone light at it but it was gone. But when she turned the cellphone light off, she could sense the dark presence lurking there again. Frightened, she turned on her nightstand lamp and again the figure was gone. Eventually she got up to see if maybe I was up and about (and maybe playing a trick on her). She saw that my bedroom door was closed (as usual), but that her dog was now curled up on the hallway floor in front of my door. This is something he only does when my daughter is having a sleep-over with a girlfriend, or when her boyfriend is in watching TV with her and I don't want the dog in my bedroom. Otherwise, at bedtime, the dog dashes into her bedroom to sleep with her on her bed -- all night long. So that particular night, the dog was acting like there was someone in my daughter's bedroom! But because the terrier wasn't barking or hiding under the kitchen table, he was reacting as if the presence were benign -- as he does with my daughter's friends. At such times he comes into my bedroom to be with me. I must emphasize, the dog will NOT stay in my daughter's bedroom when ANYONE else is in there (except for me). My daughter went back to bed, leaving her night-stand light on and barely sleeping all night. But her dog stayed in the hallway, sleeping on the floor, which is where I found him later that morning when I opened my bedroom door to come out. At some point I asked her if she had heard any sound that night, like a deep throbbing, and she said she didn't hear anything. My daughter was deeply disturbed by what happened that night, and kept asking me if I had played a spooky trick on her or something, hoping I'd say "yes" and admit it. Of course I hadn't. I had only walked by twice and glanced in once when investigating that horrible pulsating sound, which she would have heard if she were awake. At that time the dog was still in bed with my daughter. The behavior of our dog leads me to believe that my daughter's experience with the "presence" came AFTER mine (with the throbbing sound). At the time of my experience, the dog was still in bed with my daughter, but during her experience the dog ran out of her room to the end of the hallway, sleeping there until I opened my bedroom door to come out for breakfast. If her experience had come first, when I went to investigate the throbbing sound, I would have found the dog sleeping in the hallway outside my door, which he wasn't. Now my daughter doesn't want to talk about the incident. The story she told is greatly out of character for her because she has no interest if not an outright aversion to such "creepy" things. Recently, in fact, she got quite angry at her boyfriend for taking her to see a horror movie. My daughter's second experience: Unfortunately, the story is not over. The following morning (May 13th) I asked her if she slept well (code for: " Anything unusual happen???") and she reluctantly admitted she had another "weird" experience. She said she woke up at almost exactly the same time as the night before (2 AM) and looking through her doorway saw a kaleidoscope of "strobe lights" as if flashing behind a fractured, stained-glass window. She made a drawing of what she saw (she's quite a good artist, her room is full of her paintings). This startling phenomenon lasted for only a few brief moments but left a profound impression on her. Again, her dog had inexplicably left her room to sleep on the hallway floor in front of my closed bedroom door. The following and subsequent nights (without exception), the dog was back sleeping in bed with my daughter -- all night long. No, my daughter does not do drugs or drink alcohol or smoke -- it's contrary to her very reserved, shy, conservative nature. As a scientist I can only say the phenomena my daughter and I experienced are a great "unknown," and quite possibly "unworldly" or "other dimensional."

We were driving home and we looked in the sky and right above the trees this white bright light went traveling across the sky really fast. We all saw it but my mom. There were 4 of us. We didn't understand the shape but this was not a meteor.

I saw two very bright orange lights in the sky around 9:20 pm on Saturday, the 10th of May. I noticed them through my living room window. I am use to lots of air traffic around here so didn't think to much at first. Then the orange lights got me and they were not flying in any of the normal flight patterns. So I went out on my porch to get a better look. Not an airplane, not a helicopter. They both were up pretty high but close enough that I could see very clearly that I did not recognize the shape. I was mostly focused on the orange lights and trying to rack my brain of what aircraft might have those kinds of lights. There was absolutely no noise. The craft was silent. Seemed to be moving along side by side one a tiny bit further back from the other. I went to get my camera to take a picture, but they were gone when I went back out. Never seen anything like that before. Not with orange lights like that. It was only one bright orange light or a cluster not co! mpletely sure about that. Just wanted to report what I saw. No one I know could explain what it might have been. Because I am a teacher and like my privacy I prefer not to give my name at this time.

At 3:50 am, 2 of us heard the loudest, strangest noise, it sounded sort of like a helicopter landing, but even louder, extremely loud, but I could not see anything anywhere. It was bizarre. It shook the house. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
