Between 9:30-10:00 PM there was a VERY bright light with a smaller light on each side above cloud level in the West by NW. It did not move but went on and off about every two minutes. Lights were above cloud level close to but not in regular flight paths into Philadelphia International Airport. It was not a airplane and did not have red or green nav. lights. Bright enough that many must have seen. I just spoke to a neighbor who also saw the same BRIGHT light in same part of the sky last night 5/11/15

At 23:09 my dog was barking and alerted my attention to the sky with her growling. I then went outside and saw that there were at least 15 triangle shaped orange colored objects against a dark sky on the Eastern side. The objects were flying in an arch formation and some of them started disappearing behind the clouds. They were all the same color and shape, and moving quite slowly. The objects were close to each other, and silent. When I grabbed my phone to take a picture, there were only 4 objects left in the sky. I cannot see the objects on the camera phone clearly.

While driving on Broken Land Pkwy I observed a large (est around 70ft from tip to tip) low flying(under 100ft) triangle shaped craft with multiple lights. Upon seeing the object I turned off my radio, lowered my windows, and slowed down to see if I could hear anything, but there was no sound.

Rockies, VT
I was was flying across the Rockies at 35000 feet. I was sitting in a window on the plane looking down at the mountains covered with snow. I was not sure where we were in relation to my destination but we were about an hour from san francisco flying east to west. we came into some cloud cover over the mountains and all of a sudden there were bright too bright lights below the plane that I could see through the clouds. my first thought was we were too close to the mountains and we were going to hit it because I thought the lights could have been a building. all of a sudden the clouds broke open and I was staring at a large triangular shaped object with lights on it. this object was below the plane over the top of the mountain and looked stationary as we flew over the top of it.the object was silver in color with two lights on the narrow part of the craft. I believe we were around 5000 feet over the peak of the mountain, and the craft covered a good portion of the top of the snow capped mountains. the mountains again were covered with clouds and I never saw the object again. I clearly saw the object for about 15 seconds. there was nothing to distort my view of what I was looking at.

I was outside looking up at the moon when I spotted a triangular craft flying across the sky. At first I thought it was a low flying plane, but then I realized there were no lights at all. I live near LAX so there were a lot of other aircraft in the sky at the time, but I've never seen anything without lights. Also, it appeared to be dark brown in color, and had 2 small spheres attached to it's sides. I could not tell if there was any sound since there was a large truck nearby running a very loud pump.

First hovering north west Cape Cod Bay. Moving away from each other in consistent high speed. Hovering. Next, light shines bright from both of them as third orb appeared and the original two switched places with each other. Third orb hovering very high above started a light pattern at each point of triangle. Red, blue, and orange. Then original 2 craft started to flash the same light frequency and pattern. They all shined a bright orange in unison heavily illuminating the surrounding clouds before moving in sync out of sight to the north east. This is the 3rd time I have witnessed this occurrence in past two weeks.

Black Rock Campgroud Joshua tree, CA
While Camping at Black Rock campground in Joshua Tree National Park last night, we witnessed a UFO. While sitting at our campsite #34, looking NNE a orange triangular object w a red "torch" on top slowly silently crawled across the sky in a very horizontal line. After about 90 seconds, the object descended straight down increasingly getting more red until it disappeared behind trees. We all saw it in our group, and all of our stories about what we saw were exactly the same. I'm encouraging the others to imput their story here.

Around 10:00, we saw a brightly colored green triangular object zoom past our house. As we watched it, it quickly would zoom in one direction, change direction and go back. As it flied south-west, it interacted and spun around a red object that looked just like it and the green one then turned red. The original red one flashed from red to white to yellow as the new red one circled it. The object in the center then seemed to descend while the other shot off super quickly towards the mountains. While watching it, on top of the mountain, we saw a huge ball of white lights followed by three more red lights. One of the red lights shot off into the sky and disappeared while the other ones zoned around in weird patterns around each other. We watched until they all faded away.

Buckeye, AZ
Just after 8pm tonight, April 23rd, me and my two son's witnessed multiple air force fighter jet's flying at a high rate of speed pursuing what appeared to us as 2 triangle shaped or V-shaped craft that were hovering over the White Tank Mountain Range here in Buckeye, AZ. We witnessed the 2 craft above the mountain range while driving back from the store on Yuma Rd. I pointed out to my sons the craft and we pulled into our driveway and were able to then see and hear multiple air force jets fly toward's these 2 triangle shape craft and the 2 craft appeared to just blink off their lights. The craft both each had 3 glowing white/blueish light's in the form of a triangle and one of the craft appeared to have an haze or foggy cloud in or around it. The fighter jet's circled the mountain range for a few minutes and then flew northwest. I am currently still watching this mountain range and if any new development's I will report them.

About 9:15 on April 22, 2015 I was sitting outside on patio watching a plane going south to my left. When above me appeared a very large v shaped light pattern. The lights did not blink but we're round and pale yellow white color. They seemed brighter around edges and paler in the middle. There were 5 lights in tota, and it made no sound. Compared to the plane, I had just seen it was massive in size. It moved in a northerly direction quickly. I went in the house to get my son, but it was gone by the time he came out. I must have watched in disbelief for a minute or so before I went to get him.

Le 22 avril 2015 vers 1h20/1h30 deux personnes observent très rapidement le passage dans le ciel dégagé d'un objet (de forme triangulaire ou rond) avec trois leds blanches et une lumière verte en son centre. Aucun bruit particulier n'est entendu. Aucune trainée ou halo ne sont vus. L'objet se déplace sur une courbe descendante. Un seul témoignage est recueilli. Cette observation d'un triangle formé par 3 points lumineux est atypique, mais très brève : moins de 3 secondes. Le GEIPAN aurait souhaité mener une enquête sur place pour ce cas, mais, comme le témoin est mineur, l'autorisation des parents est nécessaire ; le GEIPAN n'a pu l'obtenir. Ce cas d'observation très bref, qui plus est à travers une vitre, s'avère assez pauvre en informations fiables. Le GEIPAN a émis les hypothèses d'un vol de drone, ou d'un reflet dans la vitre de la fenêtre d'une lumière située dans la chambre, portée par un des invités du témoin. Sans enquête sur place, la validité de ces hypothèses n'a pu être vérifiée. Le GEIPAN classe ce cas en C faute d'information fiables et de recoupements. [GEIPAN classification C — Manque d'informations fiables]

I was driving home on 1st ave south in st pete fl and a row of 5 lights in the sky distracted me from driving so I pulled over and it was a triangle shaped object with a row of 5 lights and I light on the corner tip and a blinking red light in the middle it flew up and over to the right and then striaght up and disappeared. This event happened for 3 mins and my cell phone wouldn't turn on iPhone 5s by the white or black button until the triangle disappeared then my phone worked. Happened for about 3 mins. Looked like a black triangle tr3b perhaps military unmanned drones any info?? Didn't make any noise.

It then started to come in closer and back away and then go up and down but always a steady slide to the right with red lights flashing more and more frequently and the hazy glow coming back every time it backed up. After thoroughly chasing this down in my yard (it kept going past the tree line), two white balls of light flew maybe 10 ft above our heads abd right towards the craft for about an hour and fifteen minutes, I could only faintly see it through the trees moving away from me at an even altitude. It was headed towards our neighborhood park so me and my brother decided to follow it. After getting there the craft had already completely turned around and I was now looking at it from the bottom. Triangle shape with 3 red lights on each point and on top was the bright like I had seen. It seemed to be avoiding me cause it left to another direction so fast. Not blasting off yet just going to a different area to do whatever was being done. As I'm watching this one craft fly further and further, I look up to my left to see another one coming from the same direction. Same look. It made a sharp turn and went behind the next tree line and I then look back and one is coming in bigger and bigger the sky. Again same motion with the quick turn but it went towards my house. So I called it quits and we went home and were talking on the patio about to to realize they were almost purposefully passing over us, watching us. Idk if it was the same 3, or 3 more, but rregardless, one would come and pass by and curve right over us and as that one was leaving the next would come from a different direction. Every singl Star or planet, we suspect. PD

Staten Island, NY
On Saturday, April 18, 2015, at around 8:pm EST, I looked out the window to watch the stars come out. I noticed a brilliant white light, in a tall triangular shape, in the NW sector of the sky, from where I was located in a house atop a hill in the West Brighton neighborhood of Staten Island, NY. The light object was much brighter than the stars appearing, even brighter than a planet would normally look from the naked eye. Its shape was like a thin Christmas tree; I observed a red spot on the top of the “structure,” white triangular long base, and three white dots positioned under the base. From my perspective, the form was atleast five times larger than the other visible stars, and atleast two to three times bigger than planets I have seen in the night sky. The object appeared to be stationary. I saw it scrunch down in size briefly, to approximately two thirds of its original size. I was viewing it from inside the window at this time, and altered my position to see if it was a reflection, or distortion due to the screen, but I was seeing it from the clear pane of the window, above the half screen, in any case. I went outside to the front porch to view it again. It was still there (maybe ten minutes had passed), and had a soft white halo around it. It stayed in the same place as I studied it from the porch, with no obstruction blocking or changing its image, as far as I could see. The tall triangular brilliant white object with the red top beacon, outshined the visible stars in the sky, as well as looking much larger than them (same size as listed before). It remained in the same spot, as far as I could tell, for the duration of five minutes that I watched it. I went back inside and checked it from the window. No movement. I decided to check on the light shape the next hour, and when I looked out at 9:pm, the object was gone. On Tuesday, 4/21/15, I saw what appeared to be the same object, in the same basic spot. It did look smaller, and this time I saw it slowly move away, towards and above Bayonne, New Jersey’s, skies, a bit further to the left of where I first saw it on Saturday 4/18/15. It continued to move on a steady course, appearing to decrease in size, though I think that was due to it leaving the vicinity. I lost sight of it when it moved to the left and my view was blocked by a neighboring building across the street. Witness is well known to NUFORC, and we consider her to be quite reliable. PD

It was a beautiful sunset over the Olympic Mountains and the sun was just disappearing into the clouds, instead of over the mountains. Then we saw quite clearly two small, connected, black inverted triangles drifting parallel to the ground, from North to South. Were they round I would have thought them balloons, though they were also moving too steadily and horizontally to be balloons. They were less than a mile away. They disappeared behind the neighbor’s house. I grabbed my camera and went to go see them when they would have popped out the other side given their trajectory, but they never emerged and we didn’t see them again.

Glenmora, LA
I was up the street from my house coming back from the store in my car and noticed that there were 2 aircrafts flying at a very low altitude coming straight my way. I didn't think anything of it until I saw the lighting pattern on them. There were five white lights in the shape of a V on these aircrafts. They then seemed to either slow down or come to a complete stop. I stopped my car and got out to get a better look and they continued on slowly. I got back into my car and drove the rest of the way home (less than a quarter of a mile from where I was standing). I got out of the car and in the parking lot, the other witnesses were talking about the sighting and noticed something was off about the aircrafts and we watched as they proceeded to go east. In the next few minutes or so, 2 more of the same aircrafts, one with a red light in the center came from the west, also flying very low and making little to no noise and proceeded to go northeast. A couple of minutes later, 2 more came from the same direction also flying low, but this time flying a bit faster than the latter and went southeast. Me and the other witnesses were awestruck at all the strange crafts we just saw and kind of got freaked out. I went into the house and started to take a drink and tell my wife about what we all just saw. After a few minutes or so, I started hearing more aerial hums of aircrafts and rushed outside to see if I could catch another sighting. The other witnesses were still outside and told me they just saw 4 more of those same aircrafts flying northeast. I was a bit upset from missing them, but a second later, another aircraft noticeably bigger, with green lights in the shape of a diamond on its underside, flying at the same altitude as all the others flew overhead at a low speed heading in the same direction as the others. At this point I tried to get my camera on it, but the aircraft simply started ascending and disappeared behind the clouds.

Puyallup, WA
On April 15, 2015 11:45 P.M. I was working on building a new front porch on my home. It was nearly midnight. I had to work late on my project because I had been exceptionally busy at work. I was cleaning up my tools and debris and carrying them west towards my garage. As I walked I glanced south and saw what I thought was the planet Jupiter. I spend a time behind the telescope looking at Jupiter, Saturn, etc… and only because of that fact did I realize that something was out of place. During that time of night and time of year, Jupiter has already passed the tree tops on the western edge of our property. Realizing that something seemed out of place, I looked more closely at that the object that I had mistaken for a planet. The size in the sky looked correct, also the brightness was comparable to Jupiter. At first the object seemed to be just hanging in place, I then wondered if I had mistaken it for another planet but then it started to move. It kept a relative track of west to south east. Suddenly, it made a very substantial, very abrupt turn due south, then another, equally sharp correction back to the east, then it began a sweeping arc back to the south. The movement seemed far too sharp for any aircraft that I have ever seen. I ran in the house and grabbed my 8x binoculars that were sitting next to the door and returned to my front yard. By the time I returned (roughly 15-20 seconds) the object had really picked up speed. It was moving far faster than an aircraft. I yelled for my wife but she didn’t hear me (as she was in the back of the house). I got the binoculars on it and could make out very little detail but this is what I saw. It appeared to be triangular in shape, it had one single, exceptionally bright white light that appeared to be centered in the object (it was so bright when viewed through the binoculars it did give the object a bit of an aura), and I couldn’t give a definitive size as I had nothing to compare it to, it had no landing lights, beacons, etc… just the one light and it made absolutely no sound. The night was quiet, except for the frogs (which had gone quiet during the event, not necessarily because of the event, as they do that from time to time at night). As the object began to move out of sight the white light seemed to take on an orange glow, like the moon seen through air pollution, then it just blipped out. The whole event couldn’t have lasted more than 2-3 minutes. The angle of my view must have dropped 15-25 degrees in elevation and 30 degrees from right to left as I tracked the object. The night was completely clear, the temperature was 45-50 degrees. It seemed very fast but, in fairness, not being able to judge the size or elevation of the object, I couldn’t say definitively, how fast it was actually traveling. It seemed to move about as fast as a satellite, when you watch them pass over. The object would’ve had to cross over or very near the flight path of Joint Base Lewis/McCord. We lived in the base’s airspace for nearly 4 years now. I have seen just about every type of aircraft come off that base, from Osprey, Chinook and Blackhawks to F-18’s, C-130’s etc… I have never seen anything come off that base that resembled, in any way, what I saw that night. The closest comparison that I could come up with was watching a satellite with the exception of possible size and flight characteristics. I did not report this to the authorities because I didn’t want people to think I was crazy. I know it sounds cliché but it’s the truth. I have seen some strange things in my life but I’m sure they’ve all had logical explanations and this may very well have a simple, logical explanation but I couldn’t come up with one. I found your site while searching the internet to see if anyone else might have reported something of this nature. I did tell my wife, knowing that I am a very honest and pretty logical person, she believed that I did, indeed, see something but she still had to chuckle when I came in and told her about it. It would be nice to know that I was not the only one to witness this phenomena. Thank you. Witness indicates that the date is approximate. PD

Newark, DE
Pulling onto my street, around 9:30pm on April 15th, 2015, which is located in a very nice and quiet neighborhood on the outskirts of Newark, Delaware, by the border of Pennsylvania, I happened to look to the left in the west and up into the sky as I usually do, driving home. I noticed some bright and what I thought were distant lights moving slowly towards my direction eastward. My first thought was that it was a commercial airliner coming straight towards where is was on Bristol Lane in Cotswold Hills. I don’t usually see lights this bright or commercial airliners for that matter moving in this direction over top of my neighborhood which slightly sparked my interest. The PHI Airport is a little over 35 miles NE from me and I do see lots of air traffic at night when skies are clear and this was a clear night. The Dover Air Force Base is about 50 miles south of me. As I looked up and saw the aircraft, I thought is was far away and might have been low flying because it didn’t appear to be high in the sky. I was still driving and slowed to stop and watch the aircraft as I saw it approaching fairly quickly. Within about 30 seconds of spotting it in the distance, it was now almost right on top of where I was. I quickly rolled the windows down, shut the car off, and stuck my head out of the window to listen for any engine noises. I heard nothing. It was still silent outside. Looking up I could now see that this craft had three large randomly pulsing white lights underneath of it with one red light in the center. The white lights were not all pulsing at the same time. They were pulsing independently of each other. The red light was a solid and consistent brightness. As the craft went directly over top of me I noticed it was still making no noise at all. My neighborhood is very quiet and I can usually hear, jets, propeller p! lanes and helicopters. There is a farm field behind my neighborhood and no bright shopping centers or main roads are very close to me to create noise or light pollution. Looking straight up I also noticed that the body of the craft is in the definite shape of a large dark triangle because it blocked out the sky in that area which was full of stars this night. I also noticed now that it was moving very quickly because it was very far away at first but within seconds it was on top of me. As it went overhead, I could see one more small red like in the very back center of the triangle. It quickly, silently passed over top of me and over the house to my immediate right. Still no noise at all. I put my head back into the car and started it up again and then quickly pulled forward to track the object after it was blocked by the house. When I saw the object again, which was only about 5 seconds later, it was very far away moving in the same eastern direction. It might have been at least a mile away at that point and quickly and steadily moved away and out of sight in the next minute until I couldn’t see it at all anymore. That was the last I saw of it.

Noticed an extremely bright light, just above the treeline. Thought it was a planet or star at first, but way too bright and looked up to see cloud cover and no visible stars. Then it passed over, very quietly, from ~northwest to southeast, very low flying, and very slow, but with lots of lights on the underside. Expect it was a military aircraft of some sort, but haven't ever seen anything fly overhead that slowly - or low - with so little noise. My son is convinced it was a B2, but...that slow?

Saw 3 dots of light in the sky and when we drove past it, it was actually a triangular shaped object. The object was not moving horizontally, rather it appeared to be descending more in a vertical direction. The lights on the side were white and the one in the middle was an alternating red and orange light.
