Tulsa, OK
My wife and I looking due south in East Tulsa seen a elongated greenish light traveling from the East to directly West. Lasted approximately 5 seconds. We are normal folks just looking in the sky and bam! There it was, silent and seemingly losing altitude throughout its trajectory. At some point in western sky it vanished.

Celina, TN
On a long stretch of mountainous highway where cell service is lost, my 27 year old daughter spotted a blue light moving toward us in the sky. It was a glowing, neon type light. As we drove, it seemed to be very low in the sky and moving very slowly. As we passed under it, we could see very clearly 5 different colored, neon glowing, straight arms, all connecting at a center point (red, blue, white, yellow...and green I think). There was a neon hue surrounding the 5 arms which created a circular shape, but the object had only 5 arms connecting only at the center. That was it. It moved over us and disappeared. I have looked all over the internet for anything close to an explanation. I can't find anything, so I am reporting it here.

The day before, on Father's day, I was over at my dad's house and we were cooking outside. Above the house we spotted what looked like a VERY large bird hovering over his house. It appeared to be roughly 100 meters up, based on comparisons to surrounding trees, and if that estimate was accurate I would guess that this bird had to have had a wingspan equivalent to a small single engine plane. What was very odd was the way it flew, hovering, very small wing movements at the very tips, and when it did fly away it basically headed directly east and at a very high rate of speed. There were 4 witnesses total for that sighting. My dad mentioned he had seen something similar where he works, only when he spotted it previously it spiraled straight up until it was out of sight. Apparently there have been other sightings of this thing in the area as well. The next day I was laying out in my yard and I spotted the same thing, looked like it was flying at about the same height, very slowly passing from W/SW to the East. I had my son run and grab my binoculars so I could get a better look at it. I have good quality Bushnell binoculars and I was able to track it pretty easily. Again, I am guessing it was roughly 100 meters in the air, same relative size, based on observation of the large trees we have around here. With my binoculars focused I got a pretty good look at it, and it was not a bird. This object had wings similar to a bird's, but again only moved the tips and very rarely. It's midsection was cigar shaped, very pointed both front and rear. We have large cranes and large ravens in the area, but ravens have a fanned tail when they ride thermals and cranes trail their legs. This was completely symmetrical, no trialing legs and no fanned tail. By my guess, based on the time of day and relative heat and wind, it pro! bably was not actually riding thermals either, it would have been too high up. My son and I watched it for about 3-5 minutes as it passed over. What was very odd is that it sped up dramatically once I but the binoculars on it, almost like it "knew" it was being watched. It disappeared to the east fairly quickly. Of note, the animals in the area (dogs, horses, goats, etc.) all seemed very perturbed when this was in the air...making lots of noise. I have been watching since then to see if I can spot it again and I have asked around locally and I can account at least 10 other people who have either seen the same object, or something almost exactly the same. Of interest too, when time permits my wife and I spend a lot of time stargazing, and we have also seen repeated appearances of unexplainable bright white lights that tend to travel southwest to northeast, we have reported this before and we have had numerous witnesses with us when we spot these things. On the Saturday evening before I spotted the bird we were out stargazing and watched what appeared at first to be a satellite pass over to the west of us slightly, moving from due north towards the south. However, roughly 20 seconds after we spotted it the object "split"...as in, there was a bright flash, and then there were suddenly two objects..one moving south at a much more rapid speed, and a brighter object moving north at a rapid speed. Both grew very bright after the flash and faded out. Logically, I suppose it could have been a meteor or space debris breaking up at re-entry but I have witnessed both of those types of things numerous times and the way this! object acted was quite different. We have also witnessed numerous other odd lights, mostly they seem to appear above the mountains to the north...they hover a bit, then zigzag around rapidly, sometimes they descend with a motion that is like a falling leaf, sometimes they shoot straight upward. I have an interest in ufology and have read numerous books on the subject, and what concerns me is that we have a personal set of sightings spanning over two years in the same area with multiple witnesses. Now, we are seeing a large "bird-like" object and the sightings continue. Every time we witness something like this we note the behavior of the animals in the area, most times they are very obviously disturbed. We have had instances of power anomalies in the neighborhood, and at times there have been areas around here that seem to emit a pervasive feeling of fear for no reason...all of this is strikingly similar to events reported by people in West Virginia in the Ohio River Valley in the 60's, as documented in several books but most notably John Keel's "The Mothman Prophecies". The events there culminated in the collapse of the Silver Bridge in 1967. So many of the things we have seen parallel the reports in that book that it is hard to believe it! is simply coincidence. Bearing logical explanations in mind (the bird object could be some kind of drone, the lights could also, etc.) we are trying to keep an open but skeptical mind about these things, but the repeated incidents and so forth lead me to believe that this bears deeper investigation (which I will continue to do as an amateur).

Auburn, WA
A few months back my neighbor and I were on my front porch, when a hang-glider shaped silent craft that looked like it had some cloaking device soared right above us at 50' and then it was followed by 7 helicopters that showed up 5-10 minutes after we were freaking out about what we had just witnessed.

Then, it moved zig zag very quickly. Then it moved straight line and I thought, a star or meteorite. Then it went back to the place it was before. Then it went behind clouds? I could still see a faint light. Very unsettling. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Out with my sister having our yard sale when she says, "Is that a bird?" As I looked at the object I first thought it was a bag that had flown up with the wind. As the object got closer towards us we noticed that it was a ship of some sort. It appeared to look similar to a bow tie like shape. It moved in an unconventional pattern almost counter clockwise. Seemed as if the pilot had lost all control of the ship. I know that it definitely was a ship due to the one light that would flicker when the craft turned in our direction. The light seemed almost blueish and was in the middle of the craft. The object appeared to go higher and higher and we stared until it was out of distance and way up in the sky. As the object passed our area I began to record with my iPhone but only seen a dot when I looked back at the video. Thought it was weird so I decided to google and came across this site so hope someone else noticed. Just seemed very out of the ordinary. Lastly I would like to add that it made absolutely no noise at all.

Merriam Woods, MO
On Saturday, June 14, 2014 around 10 AM, I was just stepping out my front door to drive to St. Louis, MO, and looked up to check the weather. Looking south, with a 25’ light pole & the Sun to my left, a 35’ tree top to my right, with them being 23’ apart and at about the 12:30 o’clock height, I saw what could only be described as a transparent 4 winged aircraft with a fuselage. (Now I don’t mean the aircraft by Virgin Airlines, or any of the other proposed invisible aircrafts and currently not the size of the craft that Wonder Woman would fly…….but, it looked very close to it and a whole lot larger.) This was either a clear aircraft or with a skin that would reflect what was above it (like the invisible cape). This craft looked somewhat like what we are used to seeing except the wings were twice the size of the fuselage. I judged its size by the above dimensions and a passenger jet at cruising speed in the distance at about 2 o’clock. The planes were flying different directions. It flew a straight line and could even possibly be the International Space Station, although it really didn’t look like the ISS. It did take about what I would perceive as 30 seconds to travel from the top of my tree to the top of the light pole and then into the Sun’s rays, blocking my view, while the other craft was still chugging along. The commercial airliner had a contrail and the clear one did not have one. Experimental aircraft?

I have tracked many satellites but this was not one. It was traveling almost north-to-south.

Washington, NC
I'm a pizza driver, and this sighting occurred on a delivery! Immediately upon pulling out of our store's parking lot, my attention was drawn to a bright orange light moving across the sky. It was somewhat close to the Moon at first. My eyes were glued to its position, because this was no plane or helicopter. I could tell by its movement which was obviously free of any particular direction. Then, after a few seconds, the light turned off as it swooped down at an incalculable speed. It flew directly over my car and I saw a grey, squared shaped craft with a dark circle on the bottom. However, it was flying in the opposite direction from where I was driving, so I lost sight afterwords. I have witnessed orange lights a few other times in this area recently, but this experience was the closest. Most visually apparent an unknown craft has made itself to me.

North Myrtle Beach, SC
I have been a skywatcher and UFO researcher my entire life. I know where most (wandering stars) planets are and a decent amount about where the constellations are. Look… You know when you have seen one. There is no question. Something lets you know that this moment is different from everything else you have witnessed. This is the second sighting I have witnessed in two years. The first was two years ago (a white orb) between June 6-9, 2012, and just yesterday June 10th, 2014, at 23:00 hours; approximately a year and a day later, which I find to be significant in itself. Mostly cloudless night, upper atmosphere clouds scarce. Red light gradually appeared out of no where around 160 degrees SW. Came into focus for 3-5 seconds then dimmed out the same way it came into focus. Red light then reappeared at about 125 degrees SW a bit lower on the horizon and disappeared in the same fashion as before. Then at about 33 degrees on the horizon and at about 135 degrees SW appeared several flashing white/violet lights the size of stars, but within our atmosphere, like sparkles flashing randomly but yet sequentially. My friend and I both witnessed the event. My First Sighting: The person I saw my first sighting with (different person from this most recent sighting) told me a story in 2010 about being brought up (abducted) and would not discuss it again when I confronted him on the subject at later dates. I knew for about a year or so I was going to see one soon and was watching the sky intently. Later that night I asked my friend if we should report it. Him and his brother said the next time I can report it. I replied to them both by saying, I don't know, I have been waiting my whole life to see one; it's kind of a once and a lifetime experience. My friend said no maybe in a couple of years and it became clear to me he knew this to be a future factual happening which it has now turned out to be. There is more to this story; a big piece. I'm not going to write about it. Too difficult. Contact me.

Chandigarh (India) · India
It was a rare blackout after 22:00 in Chandigarh city. I was standing at the roof and my brother was talking on phone. I was looking for falling stars. Suddenly, my eyes sighted something weird looking. At first, I thought its a falling star but then I realized it was something else. Four blinking lights in the shape of rhombus, flying near the moon. It could have been something else like falling part from some kind of space ship or anything else. But if it could be anything then why not UFO. Well, nobody believed me.

Ashland (near), KY
MONDAY, I BEGAN A MUCH ANTICIPATED 3 NIGHT TRIP WITH MY SISTER AND HER DAUGHTER TO GREENBO STATE RESORT PARK. I RETURNED YESTERDAY (THURSDAY). THE FIRST NIGHT I WAS ON THE BACK BALCONY JUST WATCHING THE SKY AND NOTED HOW BRIGHT THE MOON WAS THIS NIGHT. THE OTHER TWO CAME OUT AND WE WERE DISCUSSING WHAT THAT STAR WAS BELOW AND TO THE LEFT OF THE MOON. I SAID IT WASN'T MARS (I HAD NOT CHECKED A STAR CHART) BECAUSE IT WASN'T RED. AT THAT TIME, IT TURNED TO A REDDISH GLOW AND SHOT ABOUT 2 HAND WIDTHS UPWARD, WENT BACK TO A SILVER STAR COLOR, DID A 90 DEGREE LEFT JAG, THEN IMMEDIATELY TURNED REDDISH AGAIN AND ANOTHER JAG UPWARDS. THEN IT DID A 90 DEGREE TURN RIGHT, STOPPED, CHANGED TO A SILVER AND WENT UPWARDS UNTIL OUT OF SIGHT! THIS ALL OCCURRED IN ABOUT 3-4 SECONDS. IF WE HAD NOT BEEN LOOKING, WE WOULD HAVE MISSED IT. I SPOKE TO A STAFF MEMBER AND WAS TOLD THEY SEE THESE ALL THE TIME. THIS PLACE IS AWAY FROM CITIES AND MAKES STAR-GAZING MUCH EASIER WITHOUT ANY "CITY" LIGHTS CASTING GLOWS. A VERY RELAXING PLACE TO GO. WE WERE LATER THIS YEAR BECAUSE WE USUALLY GO BEFORE THE "SUMMER SEASON" AND AFTER IT.

Berwyn, PA
On Sunday, June 9th, I walked out my front door at about 10:16 PM, and immediately saw something the likes of which I have never witnessed before. Two objects that looked like they were on fire were moving toward my location (south to north) in the sky. The front one was the larger of the two and looked segmented - a bit like a large and a small "orb" joined together, and the second was quite a bit smaller and was a single orb. The front one had a red and orange glow like fireplace embers, although it was a constant glow and didn't change. I believe the second one was more orange. I yelled into the house for my wife and son to "come see this – quick"!! Within 15 or 20 seconds my wife came out the door and saw them, and said something about "fire". My son's girlfriend came out and saw part of the show, but I'm not sure how much. My son came out only after it was all over. The front orb proceeded at a relatively low altitude straight over my house and went out of range still fully visible. I realized afterwards that I never heard a sound of any sort emanating from it. The second one suddenly "blinked out." The way it disappeared caused the wife to say that maybe it had gone into the clouds (it was totally overcast and there was a low ceiling). Then she said "look - there's another." And I looked back to the location of the first sighting, and there were now three of the smaller orbs coming toward us on the same path. However, one after the other they "blinked out" just like the initial small orb had done. All in all the show may have lasted 5 minutes or a bit more. I had been on my way to bed, but the wife kept looking periodically during the night and didn't see any more.

Tacoma, WA
My husband and I were walking along a boardwalk that follows the Ruston Way waterfront in Tacoma, Wa. I happened to notice an object that I first thought was a balloon but i realized that it couldn't be that because it was too high up and was stationary. Airplanes were passing underneath, so if they fly at cruising altitude of 35000 miles than this was much higher. From the naked eye, I couldn't make out a shape but after I took a picture and was able to zoom in, I saw that it had two parts to it. Bell shaped on one end and attached to it, an egg shape. It looks whitish grey against the blue background of the sky. We watched it for about 20 min. I went to use the bathroom and when I came back, I couldn't find it again. We have looked at the photo that was sent to our Center, and the anomalous object in the picture appears to us to be an airliner. PD

Nags Head, NC
My 2 coworkers and I were taking out the garbage, one of them saw what appeared to be a constellation in the eastern sky. I looked up and thought “wow, I have never seen that constellation before.” Upon looking closer we saw that the objects were moving. They looked like stars, a few brighter than the rest and one being much bigger and square shaped. They were moving from west to east, directly overhead. The formation was about the size of the Big Dipper. There were at least 30 objects, maybe even 60 and possibly more. There were some flying backwards, some diagonal, but most were staying straight. I called my friend and he confirmed seeing them for a short time. As soon as they were in the vicinity of the moon, we could no longer see them. During the sighting I tried to take a picture or video with my phone but that program was not working.

Clermont, FL
I am 51 year old female up having coffee. Went for second cup, looking out the front window overlooking lake and saw this mushroom, or umbrella shaped object over middle of the lake. This was red. I mean RED!! I have never seen anything so red in my life. The top of the mushroom was more intense red than the "Stem" that flowed out the bottom. It was about 300 yards away. I'm guessing the top was about the size of 2 Suv"s. I just stood there for about 10 seconds, stunned. Then I called out to my boyfriend to come look. He was sleeping. It took him about another 10 seconds to get up to look. By the time he got there, it had gone. It never "hovered" or moved around. It just disappeared. This was NOT a reflection. I immediately drew a picture on a napkin with a red pen. I will never forget the intense color of red!

Clearlake, CA
The incident occurred over the town of Clearlake. The object was silvery in color with no lights, and was moving fast at about 20,000-25,000 feet. I first saw the right half of the object, then the left side seemed to just appear like the right side did, as if de-cloaking.. I then saw the object clearly it was two cubes each with a sphere inside it, and the cube's corners were rounded, and linked like a train/chain thing. Each cube was about 20 stories cubed and the sphere's edges stuck out from inside cube. I went to get my camera and when I got back it was gone. It was about 10-12 seconds in duration,and was heading SSW as of sighting... I drew what the object looked like and am e-mailing the image..

Oakland, CA
While walking in a westerly direction in Oakland, CA, just after 1 in the morning, the night of Thursday, June 5, 2014 (thus technically ~1:05 AM June 6, 2014) there was a very quick, very bright green flash of light in the sky , due west-to slightly west-northwest, apx. 30 degrees above horizon. It was followed about 10 seconds later by an identical band very bright green double flash of light. There was a bank of clouds right at that spot in the sky rolling in as is common from the bay. It looked very much like the intense lightning that illuminates from the inside of clouds in monsoon type storms (common in other areas, but rare in this part of California), but there was no sound whatsoever, during or any time after either double flash. There was no precipitation. I heard another person who was out on the street exclaim as I saw the second flash. It also looked like the illumination of fireworks, but again, no sound at all, and just the two bright pulses of green light. It was impossible for me to tell if it was coming from the ground or from within or behind or above the bank of clouds. No movement, just the two pulses, separated by about 10 seconds. Then I was inside so wouldn't have seen any more if there were.

East Brunswick, NJ
Objects came out from behind cloud on the right and moved across the sky changing there positions. The total time the object was visible (1 min 25 sec), before they disappeared into another cloud on the left, and I did not see them any more. I could tell the objects were not Geese since I did not see any flapping wings, or long necks. The bodies were just like any normal plane, but they did not move like a plane. They were much faster and could move with ease into the various patterns. I do not know if there was an air show and if these were some sort of a team of professional fliers that perform like the Blue Angles or Thunderbirds.

Tuscaloosa, AL
I witnessed a very high altitude vehicle, best description a dart. I was viewing the Moon when the craft passed between my vantage point, Moon was in the southwestern sky, the object was at approximately 70,000 feet moving southeast to northwest. It had a clearly definable contrail behind it approximately 1000 feet in length. The color was reflecting the setting sun and glistened. It took the object less than 5 seconds to clear my vantage point. This was not a commercial airliner and there are not many military vehicles that can fly at that altitude. No sound. We spoke with the witness via telephone, and he sounded to us to be quite serious-minded, and sincere about his report. PD

Salt Lake City, UT
It was shaped like an oval/saucer with a bulge in the middle like a classic UFO where some type pilot would be. We saw a small dark painted helicopter that appeared to be a military helicopter a few minutes prior to seeing the UFO. The UFO was going east. As I went to grab binoculars it disappeared because it was so far east. We saw it from the east rim of City Creek Canyon. We were looking east toward the Wasatch foothills when we spotted the UFO.
