Again, I was sitting out on my back deck when a bright white light appeared in the sky. It flew in a straight line for about a minute. Then it changed direction and began flying in a 90° turn. After about 30 seconds it flashes brighter and vanished.

Gallipolis, OH
I saw a small greenish blue light dancing around in the sky. It was very far away and was moving way too fast for a helicopter or airplane. It would move back and forth quickly. I then noticed a man was standing close to where my car was parked, so I left as soon as I saw him. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Lake Worth, FL
I awoke to use my bathroom early in the morning. Looking outside my window, facing due East. I noticed a light in the Sky. It was extremely bright and had a orange hue to it. I couldn't take my eyes off of the object. I thought about grabbing my cell phone and taking a picture of it, however I couldn't believe what I was witnessing. I was astonished and blown away. The event lasted for about 4 minutes. I regret not getting my phone and capturing video of it. It was circular in shape. It slowly appeared to be rising futher up toward the Sky. I noticed it because of the electric power lines were also in my line of sight. Eventually, It phased out and disappeared into the Sky. It was a "Awesome Experience!" About a minute later, I called the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office and asked did anyone else report a light in the Eastern Sky. The dispatcher said, "No not yet." The Dispatcher asked if I wanted a Deputy to talk with. I said no. Then she asked for my contact info, which I was hesitant at first. However, I gave it to her. About 20 minutes later, I decided to call the Palm Beach County Air Traffic Control. I left a voice mail with my name and number. I explained what I saw and asked if there were any Air Craft in Lake Worth at the time of the incident. I did say that, I saw a craft phase out. I didn't go into great detail. I kept it simple. Just the facts only.

The object proceeded to move in quick diagonal directions quickly then flash again every 20-30 seconds or so. I watched it move up down side to side at angles not made by any aircraft I know of. There was no sound, It would also come to a quick stand still then zip off again. I have never seen anything like it. Btw, I just had my vision checked a month ago and it's 20/20.

At first I thought maybe someone brought in soccer lights to do construction, so I laid back down with my back facing the light and tried to go back to sleep. As I laid there resting I realized that we lived too far from the construction site to be able to see any lights. I turned around and the light had completely disappeared. I didn't take any pictures because at the time I would have to open that back door and I didn't want to wake anyone up. I am not sure what I saw but this light has not sat well with me from the moment I first laid eyes on it, It is odd.

Durham, NC
On this date I was driving from downtown Durham to hwy 85. I stop at a stoplight and saw a bright sliver shape circle and thought maybe it was just a plane. I turn away for a second and the object was gone. I thought maybe it flew behind some trees but there was no trees in the area an not a cloud in the sky. At this point I realize I just saw a UFO, I drove off and still could not see the object. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Warrior, AL
21:00 Sunday, May 7, 2017. Looking west, saw one object moving fast and straight to the left of the moon. Object was round and white. Two photos show movement. Object is in center of photo. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Peter Davenport. You are correct. Full disclosure since you were so kind to reply. I reported this on behalf of the eye witness. (a relative who wishes to be anonymous). After a second conversation, I understood that the relative sent the photos to me at 21:00. The photos were actually taken at 19:30, 5.7.2017. The eyewitness says the track of the object was up and northerly. looking at a map from Warrior Alabama they stated it was on track to eventually go over New York State. The eyewitness is currently a ((title deleted)) a School and has been in the teaching profession. Very familiar with natural science, including weather patterns. The object was in view as she was taking out the trash and remained in view long enough for her take the two still photos with her iphone so the total view time was close to 30 seconds. She is willing to do a hand drawing of the object as it was seen by the eye as she claims it looked closer to "classic UFO shape". If there is any further information about the viewing of the object I will be happy to forward to you. I will take in to consideration contacting local press about further witnesses. Once again, Peter, thank you for your very kind personal reply. ((END ADDENDUM))

District Heights, MD
Black object, flying slowly, with what appeared to be a turquoise/green colored bright light, periodically flashing on the object, flying over my home. Two airplanes passed the object. Therefore, it was flying at the same altitude as a plane.

It was the size of a razor head. Didn't move much and kept changing colors, but mostly white looking. Spinning in curlicues well it looked like it. I took lots of good pictures.

El Mirage, AZ
While letting my dog out, a very bright white circle of light appeared suddenly in the sky. It seemed very low like small plane or helicopter height, but was brighter than anything I have seen before. It almost immediately began moving rapidly in a straight northeast direction, never diminishing in size or brightness but with a bright orange "tail" trailing it and passing directly over my house. It seemed to be decending, dropping out of view over the roof but was gone by the time I ran to the other side of the house.

Orange glowing sphere flew across the sky at speeds comparable to an aircraft but close enough to see it was round. Did not shift speed or direction with wind currents. We have amended the time above, to reflect a nighttime sighting. However, the witness provides no contact information, so we are unable to verify that the time is correct. PD

I was facing south looking straight up. It was yellowish in color and looked to be higher up than a jet would fly.

Portland, OR
There were three bright balls of light, too bright to be a plane or helicopter and brighter than the street lights. At first they weren't arranged in any particular way but slowly went into a triangle formation, then proceeded to change into a horizontal line. One of them dimmed and was no longer bright and, instead, had flashing red and white lights, almost exactly like an airplane, but was moving too fast to be one. It flew away. The other two shortly followed individually. There was nothing for about five to ten minutes, then one came back (the bottom one) to its exact spot where it was before and was bright again then flew away.

At this point I actually for a scared feeling, I felt it knew I was watching it? The light then started to go crazy pulling amazing aerodynamic moved? Befoe moving rapidly to the west sky below the tree line out of my sight! What's weird is that my house is right under the flight path of passenger airplanes conning in for landing at the slc air port? This light was dancing around right in the path! But notice know planes flew ov! er during or after I viewed the light. I stayed up till 1:00am never saw the light but noticed there were no planes flying over my house. I'm still shook up for some reason..if that was a drone, I want one asap wow!!! We have amended the time indicated above by the witness, in order to reflect a nighttime sighting. PD

Marana, AZ
In the sky west of Marana, AZ. 3 flashing objects at 3 different levels above the horizon. The lowest object was also the furthest south, the highest was the furthest north. The objects seem to be holding their positions in the sky. They appear to be moving west, because they are getting smaller.

While I was enjoying my hike down along the creek, I also just happened to look up in the sky and saw a slow approaching "orange" craft of sorts. It approached from the southwest and directionally moving West toward the Dayton area (my own conclusion). Naturally, I was trying to listen to it since it was a low flying, blurry-orange, circular craft of sorts, The craft was approximately 200-feet above the tree tops. Conversely, however, there was NO SOUND. Speed was that of a commercial jet aircraft descending slowly in altitude just before a landing. However, this craft just stayed at an even altitude just above the trees. Just as it passed above me it kept flying straight, and then all of a sudden, it decided to ascend rapidly and silently at approximately a 65-degree angle. The notable part was that it reached peak altitude (that of a typical jet) of approximately 37,000 to 40,000 feet within only a 5-second time frame -- YES, SILENTLY AND VERY VERY FAST! This is the first time I've ever seen a craft like this. As it ascended it also had a mysterious after glow in front of it, and directly behind it, hence the glowing effect with orange color. Yes, it more or less freaked me out, but then again I still believe it to be terrestrial in nature (of the earth), and perhaps one of those little-hidden high-tech crafts ingeniously created out of some alien-type technology (area 51 stuff). I have heard that Dayton's Write-Patterson air force base (about 50 miles away from Darby?) has some underground secrets, maybe that craft was one of them. Yep, this sounds like just another nut-job trying to stir the mystical UFO pot, but I saw what I saw. I had a friend tell me that it was some small space debris burning up in our atmosphere, but I have to say this was not that. It flew slowly, it had a purpose, and it flew exact and silent. So I looked it up on youtube and low and behold I saw a craft(s) similar to what I saw -- wow. Has anyone else on here ever seen such a craft? I bet someone has. Even if it's a clear night out (which it was when I saw it) it will still appear as though it's in a foggy cloud, hence, you cannot see any specific details other than a round orange shape, no sound, and definitely a flying craft. Take care. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Spring, TX
We saw 4 ufo's the first 3 were in an arrow shape with one tagging along behind and then a couple seconds later they all merged into a line. They were fluttering back and forward. They arched the line a little bit and then flew out into the sky and disappeared. They looked like dim lighted ovals in the sky, no markings or bulky items just very dim balls of light. They passed by the apartments pond for about 30 seconds to a minute and then they went to far for us to see. There was no sound coming from any of them. There was also a very bright shooting star that flew across the sky just seconds before the objects strolled on by.

I 36 and my son 4 star gaze every night before bed. I grew up on lake Michigan, lived in Arizona and now in Texas. I've looked at the stars since I was very little and I've seen every explainable thing out there. I don't know what I saw but I know nothing in the sky could move like this. It looked exactly like a very bright star or planet you see in the night sky. If the moon appeared to be an inch wide it was stationary three inches above and one to the right. I grabbed my son and showed him the bright star or planet by the moon in the day time. I wanted him to see stars and planets and the moon could be seen in the day. Then it started moving below the moon. about two inches in straight line. So no concern. It was when this very bright star moved two inches to the right then down and to the left. Then back up and to the left (passing the left side of the moon)then just disappeared. It looked like a very bright white star the entire time. (very obvious)
