Isle of Palms, SC
We were on a large boat enjoying an oyster roast and watching the blood moon. The 8 people out of 53 on the boat were sitting on the top left side of the captions area. We were all mesmerized by the 3 bright lights that one at a time appeared in a upside down triangle pattern next to the full moon. The lights were bright and then faded out the 2 top and the bottom point last. The lights came on an was no object of f in same pattern. There was only lights no object.

My wife and I watch for shooting stars several times a week. Tonight we saw an orange light coming quickly from east to west. As it got closer it shifted into three lights. It appeared to be 200-300 feet long and maybe 100 feet wide. It made some sound but was not loud like a jet. It looked similar to jets flying in formation but when it was directly overhead we could see it was solid and blocked out stars as it passed in front of them. It was maybe half the altitude that the planes fly above our home. When it was roughly 1/2 mile past us it made a 90 degree turn and went northeast quickly. My 14 year old son also saw it. His take was it looked like a star destroyer from Star Wars. The two light in the rear were rectangular and were taller than they were wide. The light on the front was thin and horizontal. This all happened with a very bright full moon so we could easily see the shape. Needless to say we are all freaked a little. We got on google to see if anyone else saw anything and found this site.

West Los Angeles, CA
At a little after 3:00 am on Wednesday 10/8/2014 I was watching the Lunar Eclipse with two coworkers at Kaiser in West Los Angeles, CA, when I noticed something in the Western sky. It was three lights in the shape of a triangle moving very fast from West to East. The lights were dim and in the shape of a triangle with mass in the middle. It was about the size of the fighter jet flying low about 1500 to 2000 ft. It moved in a straight line at a level altitude without any sound. The route it took was North of LAX and South of Santa Monica Airports and headed toward downtown LA. It was visible for about three seconds as we saw it fly from West to East. The lights moved at a constant speed and didn't trail off. There wasn't any smoke or vapor trails and was completely silent.

Gainesville, TX
At 23:05 our lights flickered, grew brighter and went out for about 2-3 minutes then came back on the mid-east side of town. I went outside, saw nothing unusual but after about 5 min., heard sirens for several minutes. I stood on the porch with my grandaughter for a few minutes more then returned to my bedroom. At 23:40 our electricity turned off again with no flickering or warning. We went outside again and neighbors from two other houses were also outside. I called the local police department to ask about the electricity situation and they explained that there had been a large accident on Taylor Street that had taken out several telephone poles and electric lines and that Oncor was working to fix it. I wondered why we had not heard anything with Taylor Street being four blocks away but did not think much else about it. The neighbors and I were in the middle of the street talking and I told them that it would be back on once Oncor fixed the poles. The neighbors from one house went back inside. The neighbors from the corner and I stayed outside talking. I told them I could see better outside than in my house because the moon is so bright tonight. She looked up and said, "Oh my God!! It stopped in the air". I looked behind me, to the North and saw what at first I thought might be a plane, but very low and it was just stopped in mid air. It started to move slowly and made no noise. It appeared to be either triangular shaped or at least the lights were. There were 3 lights in a triangular pattern. One was white, one was red and the other flashed from blue to green. It flew over us and to the South going very slow and never made a sound. After it passed over all the electricity came back on. We all just stared. Her husband said "I think it is a plane". She said, it made no noise and was a triangle and just stopped in the air!, planes don't do that". I said I saw it stopped also. And we just all went in the house.

My husband and I drive a truck across country. We were driving when he caught my attention and asked what "it" was. At first I thought it was nothing then it was just hovering there and I took pictures. It was three oval shaped crafts flying in a perfect triangle. And above them was a flat bottomed something. I'm not sure what it was. Traffic backed up to look at it though.

I live under a busy flightpath that goes east to west into PDX International Airport. I am also an aviation enthusiast, and know about specific types of aircraft. It was about 10:30 at night, and it was pretty clear. I could see the stars. I heard a commercial passenger plane flying overhead on approach to PDX. Which isn't unusual. I couldnt sleep that night so I went to my window to take a look. I watched it until it passed over the trees and out of sight. Then I started looking at the stars that were visible that night, then I saw three red pinpoints of light, that were arranged in a triangle formation. They did not flicker or twinkle and stayed locked in that rigid triangle formation. Then i noticed that it seemed like one solid object, because it blocked out the stars as it moved from dead south to dead north. After a few seconds, i thought I heard a low hum as it passed overhead. I watched the object for what felt like a solid 2-3 minutes, but when I looked at the clock, the time just turned to 1:30 in the morning... I started watching the object at 10:30. I lost three hours of time. I didnt get any sleep that night, I just sat in bed scared to close my eyes until the sun came up over Mt. Hood.

Bryan, TX
Traveling east down Villa Maria crossed the hwy 6 over pass notice a bright white tube shaped object larger than anything I have ever seen in the sky hovering, not moving whatsoever above the Brazos Center. I pulled into Brazos center parking lot and the craft slowly moves out of sight heading east. I continue onto 1179 as I approach Grassburr road I see what appears to be the same object in the sky hovering above the left hand side of Grassburr Rd. I pull off on grassburr and stop my truck and get out. Im standing there and the craft is moving towards me silently its incredibly bright white light I was unable to stare at it without my sunglasses on. It appeared to be 200 feet or so up in the air and about 500 feet in front of me when the edge of the craft closest to me dips down revealing it true shape, best way I can describe it is imagine a triangle and at the points are also the center point of circles and these three circles overlap forming one mass. As the edge of the craft dipped I saw the top of it and it was more of a gray color but the color was not solid it looked like the three circle areas that form the craft were energizing in some way. The size of the craft was about 300 feet or so from one side to the next much much smaller than the one that was hovering over the brazos center. The craft hovered at this angle “looking at me” for maybe 4 seconds then it leveled back out forming the shape of tube and turned back to bright white and crossed over to the right side of grassburr road and hovered above the pasture at a height of about 700 ft. I was super excited by what I was seeing and wanted it to come back closer so I turned on my lights and flashed them and the craft ended up moving up and away heading south west towards south College Station. I waited till I could no longer see the white light about 10 seconds. As I was preparing to turn around something caught my eye again! It was another tube like craft that was bright white traveling from east to west chasing after the craft that had just left, it appeared to be smaller than the one I saw over the Brazos center but its hard to say, also the one above the brazos center was massive and I dont think it was the same one that “looked at me” me on grassburr Rd. So I head on down 1179 and when I turned left at the “T” intersection something else caught my eye a smaller helicopter black in appearance flying in the same direction as the two previous crafts went.

Tucson, AZ
I saw an arrowhead shaped object moving horizontally through the clouds in the northeastern sky, mid horizon level, in Tucson, Arizona on 11:49AM on Sunday October 5th. It seemed fairly close, and also appeared to be large. It was moving at a fast speed and was silent. It appeared out of nowhere, glowed brightly in a flickering way (but with a substantial bottom illuminated), moved quickly, and then disappeared. The glowing didn't appear to be propelling the object, it just moved quickly. The object was darker toward the top. At first I thought it may have been a spotlight going through the clouds, but it was clearly an object with depth and dimension. I see a lot of planes around Tucson, living on the flight path to TIA, but no plane I know could do what this object did without making a sound. And this object simply was not shaped like any plane I've seen. It had an almost primitive shape, but behaved in an extraordinary way. There also appeared to be parallel lines wrought through the clouds near where the object was sighted, but this may have been just a cloud formation. I did not see the object make these streaks. And there was no trail left directly behind where I actually saw the object.

Saw a triangular shaped craft (white lights running down both sides with white lights running down the middle) hovering completely still over some pine trees. I was headed west on Okeechobee Blvd- it was hard for me to focus on it and drive at the same time but once I drove completely passed it, it was gone. I kept trying to see it in my rear view mirror but I never got visual again. I drove back 10 minutes later and still nothing.

My brother and I were getting dropped off at my moms house when we got out of the car and saw a black triangle shape (No lights on it) flying lowly and Faster than a airplane and way to low heading North. I read this article and it seemed like the exact thing. Maybe it was from the military I don't know. The article was from Indianapolis.

Pasco, WA
I have lived in pasco wa my whole life. I was leaving my parents' house and I looked to the left in the night sky towards king city WA. I see a triangle shape in 5 Orange lights perfectly still. I keep looking then I look more around those lights and I see the stars which are the same color and size as they always been. I tell my gf what is that she looks and is surprised. I tell her those aren't stars because they are bigger. As I tell her this the top light shoots off to the left like a comet. The light below the top light on the left shoots off to the right. After being perfectly still it shoots off in opposite direction. As im driving im seeing this. So after 3 minutes I pull over where I can take a picture. Then the 3rd light (bottom left of triangle) shoots off to the left. I took a picture of the last 2 lights (middle right, bottom right of triangle) we have never seen anything likes this.I told my brother about it. He works at a warehouse in the direction of where I saw the 5 Orange lights (orbs) he told me he also sees strange lights ot the two.

Notice a small light in the sky holding stationary at the 12 o'clock pos. Took a look with my binoculars it didn't look to be spherical got the 4 1\2" telescope and looked at it. It looks like it has structure shapes and it was triangle shape with some reflective surfaces. While trying to lock on to this object with the scope noticed a red dot (not illuminated but looked to painted red) off to right of the main objects. The main object behaved like a balloon but looked nothing like any balloon I have ever seen thru my scope.

About 200 yards above Luxor, we witnessed three white spheres floating, then coming together to form a perfect triangle. The three lights then all moved counter clockwise in a perfect rotation. The lights then dispersed, floated for a moment, then completely disappeared.

Last night while casually stargazing, a UFO flew overhead. It was V shaped with 5 thick luminescent red crosses underneath and moving smoothly at an incredible speed with zero noise emission. It blended in very well with the night sky almost identical to it's background except for the red crosses which were dim and subtle. I could clearly mark out the shape of the craft and follow it's path. It was greyish but more like camouflage with the night sky above. There was a witness there with me and we had enough time to agree it was unique and unidentifiable to aircraft technology as we know it.

at approx. 2200 hours in the south east sky, there was a flashing light, white, red and what appeared to be blue in color. It was stationary for over an hour during our watch, then it slowly moved upward eventually moving out of sight. during this time, not one aircraft was seen and this was close to the flight path for all incoming aircraft. It made no noise but was extremely bright and had no movement until it moved upward. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

My friend and I were sitting in our kitchen when I heard the sound of what sounded like a fast moving low flying heli as ran out side to see a heli type craft zoom by with one red LED type light, It appeared to be a drone perhaps. Then all of a sudden out of know where this huge fast tree top flying triangle craft flew right over our roof at super high speed but hardly made a noise with red, blue, and green flashing LED tripe lights and seem to follow the contour of the ridges and valleys. It was out of sight in seconds and everything was silent. Then I noticed off to the West over the Ocean a huge blinking light flashing Green, Blue, and reds lights twinkle in a stationary position. The same sphere with the same lights hovered to the north over northern California. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Swindon (UK/England) · United Kingdom
Observer: One male adult pedestrian Location of observation: Drove Road (near Magic Roundabout Intersection), Swindon, Wiltshire, SN1, UK Visibility: Very good Ambient light: Just after dusk. Streetlights in the area Description: A triangular craft was seen floating above the quiet residential area immediately to the east of Drove Road Swindon for a short period of time before moving away, in a manner inconsistent with a sighting of any conventional craft. The craft was seen to be floating perfectly still and in complete silence very close to Drove Road at a low altitude above houses. It is difficult to estimate the altitude of the craft but it was perhaps ~50ft from the ground, and certainly what would legally constitute ‘low flying’. The craft was very close to the observer and so it could be seen with great clarity. It was very conspicuous and easy to observe. It was clearly not any form of conventional aircraft or any other known object. The planform of the craft was a perfect triangle in shape and was larger in area than any one of the houses over which it loitered although it did not appear as large in area as two such houses. At each of the vertices of the visible underside were very large, powerful circular lights (one at each vertex). The character of the light was very similar to that of the surrounding street lights. I.E. a bright flame yellow hue. There was a subtle difference of colour between the light and that of the street lights. Namely, it was of a slightly more brilliant character: less burnt and slightly more saturated. The craft itself was of a dark or black colour and with no noticeable surface features. It was not possible to make out the texture of the surface. There were no signs of landing gear or wheels or indeed any other protrusions. The triangle was perhaps a bit broader in the axis of motion. At the centre of the underside, seemingly fixed directly to the bottom of the craft, was a pulsing red light far smaller than the others. This appeared to be very similar in character and frequency if not identical to a standard red anti-collision beacon of the sort used commonly in aviation. The craft loitered perfectly still without any movement or instability and in complete silence over a quiet residential area for an observed period of approximately 3-4 minutes although it was already in-situ when first sighted and so may have been there for a while. It could not have been present for more than 15-20 min as the area was traversed in the opposite direction using the same route approximat! ely this length of time prior to the start of the observation window. It was obvious during the observation that the area immediately underneath the craft must have been very brightly illuminated by the powerful lights. Anyone beneath the craft would have been dazzled/blinded. The planform seemed to be entirely parallel to the ground while it was stationary. After about 3-4 minutes, it moved off without any noticeable acceleration. It moved very slowly – perhaps no more than 15mph based on comparisons with moving traffic on Drove Road. Interestingly, it moved with one of the vertices leading, as though that were the nose of the craft. No fins or signs of a tail could be seen. It remained horizontal as it moved away and no instabilities/roll/etc were visible. Almost immediately after beginning to move, the large lights were all switched off. The lights continued to glow and hence remained visible for the duration of the 30-40 seconds it took for the craft to attain diminished visibility to the observer. The afterglow was very distinctive and allowed the craft to remain visible for much longer than would otherwise have been the case. Perhaps a qualified lighting expert might be able to identify the type of light involved: the glow was a burnt dim orange-yellow hue and faded very slowly. This also gave the impression that the lights were more powerful than had originally been thought. Slight concentric grooves were apparent within the lights as with powerful search lights and floodlights perhaps. The craft was moving in a straight line of constant altitude towards the portion of Queen’s Drive near to the Magic Roundabout. However, before reaching that position the craft banked to the right at a very steep angle (nearly vertical) giving an excellent view of the craft from below, something that would not be seen in conventional aviation.

Walking to the local store at 7am, I noticed 3 bright lights hanging in the sky. They looked like stars in a perfect triangle and didn't move for four hours. This was nothing man made, it was bigger than a football field and after the first hour military aircraft started flying all under and around it. It looked to be over NORAD then it dissapeared one light at a time. The military jets are still searching the sky at 6pm.

I’m not sure how this page works but I had a 100% definite UFO encounter last night and thought i would share it! Me and my roommate had gone outside(it was about 9-10 pm) to smoke a cigarette and let our dogs out...after being out there for a few minutes we start looking at the stars and notice one seemed very low to the earth and VERY red. It being so red is what initially caught our eyes. After watching it remain perfectly still for at least a couple minutes we write it off as a weird star and move on...then all of a sudden we see something coming towards us to our right. Next thing we know there is something very large starting to fly over us. It had 3 white lights in a triangle shape with a softer, larger, red light in the center. This thing was flying extremely slow and low...enough so that we were able to make out the shape, a definite triangle. It made a deep, low hum noise very different from a plane or jet (which we hear often living close to airports and runways). We know it was not a plane as it was WAY too low and WAY too close to make such little to no noise. The "UF! O" continued in a straight line until it was over the tree line and out of sight. Once it was out of sight we both started to freak out and something told me to turn back to the unusually red star we had seen. As soon as my eyes looked at the star it started to rise in altitude. I smack my friend, "dude, dude, dude...look!!!" as soon as he saw it moving he said see i knew it wasn’t a star! The second "UFO" continued flying up a short distance and then started at an angle to the left (opposite direction of the closer "UFO"). It continued at a pretty fast speed until it was out of sight. I feel i should mention the entire time this was happening several of the dogs in the nieghborhood were going crazy and would not stop barking for several minutes after. We know we didn’t see a plane and know we saw a triangle shaped craft but have no answers beyond that...

Triangular shaped object flying north/northwest over orchard park between 10:15 and 10:30 pm in the night sky.. Typical airplane traffic to and from buffalo niagara international airport when out of the south to north was a triangular shaped object quite large no noise whatsoever. Flying noticeably faster than and airplane and much larger ..5 times wider than a full moon and lower flying than an airplane as well . 5 lights on either sider in front forming a large v pattern up front.. Decent view but too fast to grab my camera/ recorder.. 10-15 seconds and out of my view heading north/ northwest.. Soft white lights no strobe no noise just all softer/ dimmer lights in a v - formation.. Specifics are 338 degrees north bound half the height that a typical commercial airliner flies at

We saw the craft at first it was bright red and hovering over a hill then the red light shut off. There was no lights at all but we could see that the craft was still there. Then there was three green light on each point and they were slowly getting brighter but it passed over the hill so we couldn't the craft anymore.
