Merritt Island (above), FL
3 crafts hovering over Kennedy space center last night. It started with one bright light, very still, then all the sudden, it started hovering around. Soon after, two smaller, dimmer, craft appeared. The two smaller ones were hovering above and around the bigger one. It looked almost as if they were playing with each other. The two smaller ones were there for only a few minutes and they just disappeared. The bigger one got super bright after the smaller ones disappeared. It almost looked like it was coming toward us. It then started getting dimmer until it completely disappeared. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

New Bloomfield, MO
We saw irregular flashing lights that occurred in a circular pattern. At first it seemed like it could be a sort of plane but the lights didn't move as a jet would. They moved slightly up then slightly down, hovered for a few minutes, dropped lower in the sky and proceeded very slowly to the right. The lights seemed to come from a fairly large craft but it was hard to tell due to distance. The lights disappeared for a while, but then reappeared a few minutes later in another spot. We did not know if this was the same craft that somehow got to an entirely different place in the sky without us seeing or another craft entirely. This one was closer and the lights were brighter. It followed the same hover pattern for a few minutes and this too drifted out of our line of sight. As we stood there this same thing happened two more times--flashing lights in different parts of the sky (I would describe them as having a strobe like effect). The craft would hover and go slightly up, down and sideways for a few minutes before drifting off. There was no noise and the only color we saw was whitish yellow light. It wasn't shining a light as a helicopter might do if it was performing a search but more or less just twinkeled. I do not know how it was able to appear in different parts of the sky without us seeing it get there. All of the sightings ended when the lights drifted behind a structure or the trees.

Seattle, WA
At 11:45pm above Interbay/Magnolia in Seattle I witnessed a star above where there shouldn't be. It started out dim and them got brighter, meanwhile another one appeared next to it and began to get bright as well. They both became super bright and then the first one started to dim as well as the second one until gone. They did not move at all. No sound. Did anyone else see it?

Went outside on a clear night to see a bunch of moving white lights that were blinking red. Was going to pass it off as a bunch of jets, or something, before they vanished while we were looking at them, my husband got a picture of some of them, in the picture two were in the middle of zigzaging and you can clearly see the red zigzag. Also got video of them. My father in law said one came close to an airplane then zagged around it, two other people saw this one.

Round object was hovering in the west skies for ten minutes, then in two seconds it flew above towards the east and sat not moving. The color was a reddish orange. I also took a picture.

Pomona, CA
I was sitting at a park near Pomona California at approximately 8:35pm with a friend and my dog watching a music video on my phone, when my friend frantically kept telling me to look at this object flying to the west of us. He asked me if it was a drone. When I did look I saw a circular object with multiple red, blue and green flashing lights moving NW just above the flight path of jets taking off from Ontario Airport in the San Bernardino County. I told my friend it can’t be a drone because it’s too close to the airport and that’s when the object stopped and went back heading SE for about 5 seconds, and then started making very tight circles at a fast rate of speed. As the object was doing these maneuvers in the sky there were jets taking off from the Ontario airport and knowing that when the jets do take off they hold at 5,000 ft until cleared to make their turn away from the airport. This object was above the jets at about an altitude of 15,000 ft. There is also a flightpath going west to LAX and those jets fly at 30,000 ft. These jets were definitely very high above this object. The object continued moving NW to East and South in tight maneuvers including going up and down about 5,000ft. Judging by the flashing lights of the object compared to the jets that were taking off and other jets that were very high up the object had flashing lights that did not resemble the lights on the jets plus the lights were very bright. We watched this object for about a good 5 minutes, until it started going SW at a very steep angle up, and it was out of sight in about 6 seconds.

Saw three star-like objects moving together. Got binoculars out. Each object was circular like a hoop with evenly spaced nodules on it. Watched for about hour. Very strange!

Mystic Island, NJ
This has become a regular occurrence over the Mystic Island section of Little Egg Harbor Township. Almost every night there are either small circular objects extremely far away moving across the sky or there will be multiple circular objects anywhere between 3-8 objects standing still. There are also on occasion such as last night a bright red object that moves in short bursts sort of like a zig zag motion and is almost always in the same location. Although we are close to Atlantic City Airport and do have military air traffic, these are not ANYTHING of the sort. It would be extremely interesting to have this filmed with a good camera. These objects are so far away and move so quickly I can't catch them with my cell phone. Also, these are not shooting stars as they do not burn out and move in ways planes can't move.

I was walking toward my house in the front,I saw over, but beyond my home a black object hovering in the sky beyond my home, it was very obvious against the blue sky with scattered white clouds. I stopped walking and stared at it for about a minute, it wasn't moving. I than ran in the front door, grabbing my camera on the counter top,and out the back door,but it was gone. It took no more than 10 seconds to run through the house, I am still scanning the sky for it, camera in hand now. I hope someone in the area photographed it.

Falls Church, VA
While running laps at Falls Church high school football field, I was on the ground stretching and doing sit ups and lookiing up at the sky, when I saw a shimmering disk like object moving at a slow rate south to north in a wobbling type manner, clouds around 20,000 ft. The object would pass above and behind the clouds at moments then reappear. After approximately a minute and a half, and as this first object was now further north of Fall Church, towards Bethesda, MD., a seconds object, just like the first appeared above me and was in follow to the first object. As the objects wobbled, it appeared they were shiny on top, darker on the bottom, but it was a strange dark shade, I couldn't really make out a specific color. There was no sound I could associate with it, no vapor trails. The following object disappeared within a minute and a half some where north of Falls Church, VA. End of statement.

My husband looked up into the sky as we walked our dogs. He then noticed two large UFO's over or heads. They had no sound and they were in a circle shape. The were low flying and flying super fast. About 3 times faster than any plane. When we saw them, he said, "Look!" I looked up and saw them over our heads. They were headed North.

Salem, OR
15 Dec. 2017 6:48pm. On this date and time, this investigator spoke with the witness (who is also a relative of mine) This was in regards to a sighting of strange lights seen from his father's back yard in the area of East Salem, cross streets 45th and State Street on Wednesday 6 Dec. 2017. (witness says it may have been the day before, Tuesday 5 Dec. 2017). How this sighting came to the attention of this investigator, I had posted a photo only with no details of a sighting that took place in Independence, Oregon on my Facebook. My cousin contacted me through a post that he had seen the same object as he was looking west of Salem the same week of the Independence incident. Witness was out with his dog in the back yard, looked up at about 60-70 degrees off the horizon to the west, saw an object with multiple lights (yellowish at some point) stationary- then seemed to be rotating. Square lights could be seen, 7 of them in a row, a perfect line. Witness said if he held out this thumb, object was larger than the end of his thumb. Distant estimated 1/2 to 1 mile west of his location. Witness stated the object was hovering, lights rotating then it blinked out. It is this investigator's belief that this witness may have seen the same object and lights that were seen by 2 or more witnesses in the Independence/Buena Vista area of Polk County. Witness sent a drawing of what he saw. From the drawing showing the 'square' lights/windows it is consistant with the previous report and sighting in Independence, Or. (See drawing) We express our sincere gratitude to Mr. Ron Wright, a skilled and experienced UFO investigator in Sprague River, Oregon, for preparing this report, and submitting it to our Center. We encourage anyone who has information about this case, or any other case in Southern Oregon, to contact Mr. Wright, using the following contact information: P. O.

Palmyra, PA
..Noticed from the west a fast moving orange glowing object, as it gained altitude I saw through binoculars a lighted object drop from it, only visable for a second, as the main object with the orange halo around it became smaller as it moved higher and more rapidly to the east. Then looking back to the west, we saw another one coming the same direction. This one did not have the same glowing halo around it but again through binoculars I saw an orange light underneath a solid dark craft with no wings and appeared to be domed, circular and rotating. This one was at a lower altitude and turned to the north as I lost view of it behind some trees. They were close enough to be heard but there was no sound. All took place in about one minute.

Troy, VA
Me and my two step-sisters were sitting on our back porch. It was my older step-sister who suggested the idea. After 30 minutes of sitting on the porch I looked up at the sky. I saw a bright light (as bright as Jupiter) and I said, "What is that?" The object looked exactly like a star, but it looked like it was dimming from a cloud (I couldn't tell because it was dark) My younger step-sister asked, "What is what?" and she turned at the exact moment the star looking object took off in a flash. It went right and all in the duration of 1 second leaving a light trail for less than a second. I was freaked out and went star watching tonight but didn't spot anything there again.

We parked and decided to walk along the path along the creek to first see the “glow worms” that my friends discovered the year before in the root bank of a tree up the hill that had a small spring in it. Tiny glow worms, but they're nonetheless, cool. We walked back to the campground, found the darkest spot away from the camp fires, set up our chairs, and waited for the show (synchronized fireflies event). The turnout was low, probably because it was cool, and there was a full moon (strawberry moon, in fact). I had just gotten back from a short walk down the road, and when I returned, I noticed that my friends were looking up at something in the sky. Naturally, I looked up and there in the sky was a white glowing object, seemed to be round in shape. At first it looked like a giant firefly but it was too high up in the sky. The first thing I noticed, was there were no blinking lights like an airplane. It continued in a line, then stopped, then moved forward, then seems to turn on its side like a tire rolling down a road and disappeared. The whole encounter lasted 20-40 seconds. There was no sound and I would have expected a sound since it was that close to us. The time was around 10:30 pm. Two of us early saw the object stop and hover. We left and the park and headed home. On the way, several cars were stopped in both directions, and we could see an elk on the side of the road. We thought that was all that there was but as we passed, we saw an elk calf was down in the road, likely hit by a car. Being that we were from the area and the others were likely tourists, my friend called her friend that works in the park to determine who we should call about the incident. He stated that park officers patrol all hours and that they would know in short order. I am adding this one detail for one reason. When my friend told her friend on the phone that we had seen what seemed to be a UFO, he then relayed a similar experience that he and a coworker had in the park just last Saturday. He described a white object that moved through the night sky, then stopped and moved again, etc. I am a 57 year-old female. I have never seen or reported a UFO. I do not drink or use drugs and I do not believe in aliens. I know what I saw and from my account, this was a real UFO experience.

Salem, OR
I was taking pictures for my mother in law to compare the dark clouds over her house to the clear sky at my house as we only live a few miles apart, but we live at a higher elevation so our weather is completely different. So I quickly snapped the pictures and sent them then I reviewed the pictures later and noticed the object. The object is a blue spherical shape that appears just above the trees. I am sending two images that show the clouds behind the object moving but the object stays stationary. As I looked at the picture closer and zoomed in the object appears to have texture of some sort. The blue-green object appears to us to be a lens flare. PD
