Chehalis, WA
Driving north, we noticed a green circular shape that appeared above the trees, on the east side of I-5 driving north. Seemed to be 300-400 feet in the air, was a green light, and sped off to the north in an instant. We only saw it for about 4 seconds, or so. It seemed as big as an airplane.

Clinton, IA
Star gazing and saw what appeared to be a very large, bright star, that appeared out of nowhere in the eastern sky. The star like light then slowly moved north at a very slow steady pace for about 30-45 seconds, until it disappeared as randomly as it appeared. There were no flashing lights, it moved a bit faster than airplanes and seemed to be higher up in the sky than planes go.

Begins to move north at a very slow pace and slowly Vanishing. It was obviously small from where I'm standing, but by the shape of the Moon and the shape of the object which was like a silver color, it looked quite big.

Within about a minute, the object passed through the sky from one end to the other. It was strange. White circle like the moon close up in our atmoshpere. It had no sound at all and was flickering a little bit. Then, about 5 mine later after it disappeared. A commercial jet flew over from north headed south with its two lights and very clear jet engine sound. We definitely never seen anything like the white circle. It was unique.

Williamston, SC
On my way home, I saw a ball of orange light in a starless night, traveling across the sky at a high speed. It seemed low for a normal aircraft and no pulse lights. The only light was the bright orange glow. After around five minutes of watching the unknown craft, it vanished over the tree line. I seen it directly over main street.

Sarasota, FL
I went outside to smoke a cigarette and noticed three objects in the sky, moving around each other very oddly. The objects then formed a triangle and two of them moved downward where I couldn't see them anymore. The other one stayed put for about 30 mins before I could no longer see it. Many planes came to check out the area when the object was in the sky. The objects were flashing the colors red, green, and blue, I believe.

Epsom, NC
It was north of me, stationary at first. It began moving from the left to the right and stop directly in front of my porch. I held of the V for Victory and the Brite Flash once off again. After one or two minutes, it began to move again. It continue with the softer flashes, intermittently. While moving to my right, south East for the aircraft. It paused for about 3 or minutes. Then continued on. It stop flashing but I could clearly see it until the craft it went out of site. I did 2 a 2nd one right after, I thought it was a airliner, since it was a light with a red aircraft warning light I commonly see at night. I wanted to believe and do believe this was man made, hoping at least. Told myself it was. Unless it was a drone, it had to be about 8 thousand feet, if it was the size of a Black Hawk, or Huey Helicopters. It could have been higher or lower, just my best guess. I have jumped out of both and I have jumped at night. This event lasted about 20 to 30 minutes.

Twin Falls, ID
I was driving home alone early Sunday morning at about 1:30 AM on Pole Line Road in Twin Falls, ID, when I saw a large bright white light appear and form a circle in the sky to the Northwest of my location. It lasted about 3 to 5 seconds, and then disappeared. It reappeared again in the same location, formed another circle lasting about the same amount of time, and disappeared again. It appeared to form circles that were a mile or more in diameter (my guess), and at a good distance from my location (many miles to the NW).

My gf, our son, and I went on a midnight bike ride we noticed bright flashing red ,blue, white lights to the west when it moved was really quick. Then we saw 2 to the south and 2 to the north none to the east. They would dart back and forth even in circles forward or backward. We had our son with so we watched for about 35 mins.

Loveland, OH
I saw 3 pairs of large orange spheres flying in a line from West to East over Loveland, Ohio. Once over Loveland, each pair rapidly ascended at an 80 degree angle to the South, quickly diminishing in size and disappeared. There was no sound or red and green flashing lights.

It was like a circle then it went into a cigar shape. It lasted for about 20 mins. I was on a pier and saw the light moving in a circular motion, then it went straight and all channel marks started flashing at different times.

Columbus, OH
My fiancée and I were sitting on the porch and noticed an odd, orange circle of light cross the sky to the east of us, heading northeast. Smaller balls of light detached itself and appeared to be falling from it. We walked down our outside balcony to follow its path and it suddenly disappeared. About two minutes later, another craft bearing the same description with little orange flashes dropping from it followed along slowly in the same flight path. We were able to follow its flight path and watched it, when suddenly, it winked out and was nowhere to be seen. Both were silent on their flights. About three minutes after the last disappeared, a CPD helicopter loudly flew in the direction they vanished from.

They are circular ships that are somewhat silent with a flashing white and red light. If you see them, don't be alarmed, they are just trying to show that they do exist and probably preparing for later contact that will verify this. Happy hunting.

Takhlakh Lake, WA
Four of us were sitting at Takhlakh Lake. 7 miles North West of Mt Adams. We were there watching for UFO’s. We all get together one a year for night watching. A thought popped in to my head. I saw the UFO coming in from the South and then descending down over the highest point on the mountain. Five minutes later I started to get the funny feeling again I turned my head around to look for our group leader and I noticed him pacing behind me. I said hay do you feel anxious he said yes he was. This is typical for the two of us before something happens. He then said I hope they show themselves before it gets totally dark so we can video them with the mountain. We had 3 camera set ups: Two Luna Optics LN-DM50-HRSD 5-20X44 HD Night Vision Monocular set up on tripods with 7” monitors. Also a Canon 7D set up for long exposure shots of the sky. 9:15 a light appeared over Mt Adams. Then another smaller light down to the left of the much larger light. Our leader said is that moving. Then both of us started to fumble to get our cameras going. In the meantime another light appeared to the lower right of the large light. So now we have a triangle of three lights descending towards the top of the mountain. I got my Luna going while our group leader was still working with his. I caught about 13 seconds of video with two of the lights, the main light went down right over the highest point on the mountain. The whole event lasted about 3-4 minutes.

At 12:40 am, i look in the night sky and i see what i thought was maybe a balloon or plastic bag. it appeared to be moving rather slow. almost floating. Moving north-west. it looked like a glowing white CD. very faint. flew off into the night and disappeared into the distance just like a plane would. Insane!!! tried capturing it on camera but my crappy phone wouldn't pick up the faint glow of the saucer. second sighting for me. first was in 2014.

Washington, NC
I was in a car driving when I observed the object. The sky was completely clear and it was morning. The small circular object first appeared to me as if it was a fixed object in the sky but upon further observation it was moving from right to left slowly at a far off distance. My first impression was that it looked like a small moon--it was the same color as the moon in daylight. But then I saw it glinted silver from the sun. Again, it clearly pretty far away, so no other detail from the object could be seen (other than it appeared circular and was silver). Although it was moving across the sky like a plane, it did not have a plane shape. I obviously have seen many planes in the sky and this didn't look anything like that. Also, there was no white trail or anything from the object to indicate it was a plane. It was bizarre. I saw it for the entire time I was driving that direction on the road. Once I made a turn, I couldn't look that way anymore.

I was walking my dogs around 8:30pm, 7/18/17, when I noticed a reddish light move around. I kept my eye on it, and it seemed like it was hovering. It didn’t appear to be a helicopter or airplane. It disappeared, then came back, then was gone again.

It was gigantic- and looked like 5 bulbs of light in circle formation. Lights were also flashing in the sky. Display of advertising lights from local casino. PD

Spokane, WA
I tried to capture it on my camera, but was unable too. I only witnessed this happening two times through the 3 hours I was taking photographs to the east, but it really stood out as unusual. There was air traffic turning and coming in from the east to the west to land at Spokane International Airport (GEG), but what I saw did not resemble any kind of aircraft nor was it moving and transitioning through the sky, as it was stationary. Object/Light appeared to be about 2,000 to 3,000 feet in elevation and about halfway between the Summit of Mount Spokane and Newman Lake, which resides to the South.

Portland, OR
Viewed from Vancouver, WA. Saw two groups of 2 disc-shaped objects, bright silver/white, one over Portland West Hills (between the TV towers on Skyline Blvd I believe - I grew up there-, the other over Happy Valley area perhaps? They first looked like helicopters, but very steady and no rotors visible. Then, second observer with binoculars saw the saucer shape with glowing lights quite clearly. No noise was heard, no vapor trail, etc. Sky was clear and calm winds. We observed from the ridge north of PDX and saw other airplane traffic as usual for this time of the evening (light traffic). It surprised us that no fighter planes were dispatched, since they appeared over the Portland metro area. I took digital pictures but there were quite blurry and probably not useful, but they do document where the objects were seen.
