Allentown, PA
I was driving in West Allentown, PA not far from my home on Saturday, September 13th. As my girlfriend and I were driving she pointed to a huge set of white lights that were almost hovering or moving slowly (I was driving so maybe because I was also moving) over a neighborhood. There were seven lights, maybe nine, in an arrowhead type triangle formation, basically no flat third side of the triangle shape, as it went inward. I drew an interpretation of what I saw and can show you the drawing of light setups. Anyway, they were all bright white lights, and as we tried to find a place to pull over, the lights dimmed to about 25% of what they were. It blinked red once or twice before I stopped getting a clear view from trees and houses. After about 15-30 seconds we pulled over and it was completely gone. I looked towards the local airport direction and saw nothing in the sky and I could see the stars, moon, and very clear sky. It was weird not seeing anything in the sky only a minute after that, which makes me know it was not an airplane or helicopter. Also this formation of lights or underneath of something, was about 400 feet above us if I had to guess. Maybe even less. The time was 10:35 PM in Macungie/Wescosville area outside of Allentown, PA. Time stamp of 10:36 PM calling my friend, so well say we saw it at 10:34-10:35 PM Below is a picture of what I thought the light formation looked like. This is the best characterized way I can describe the formation. O O o O O o O The two little circles are smaller to represent that they were higher up, not making a full triangle, but more like an arrowhead shape.

Belen, NM
A triangular shape was seen in the same spot in the sky for over half an order. The lights began and white and have turned into orange. Both my husband and I watched it. First time we have ever seen anything like this. I went on line to see if anyone else had reported what it was. (( We suspect that the object was a hig-altitude, helium-filled balloon. One was reported to have been released from Ft. Sumner in New Mexico. http://www.topix.com/city/fort-sumner-nm/2014/09/enormous-balloon-will-carry-black-hole-hunting-telescope-aloft PD))

Santa Fe, NM
My wife and I first spotted the craft while on the shoulders of Mt. Picacho, observing a very bright large white object which seemed to move very slowly, almost imperceptibly. This was at 5:00 pm in a deep blue sky; it looked something like a bright planet, but much too large for that. As we observed it repeatedly on our climb down we speculated it could possibly be someone in a large paraglider who had been able to catch an updraft to a very high altitude, but it hovered so long in a nearly motionless state that that would have been most unlikely. Hours later, at a few minutes after 8 pm, we observed it again from our home east of the plaza in Santa Fe. It had moved a few miles west during that time, and seemed to be directly over the central area of the city. Our only magnification was a pair of opera glasses. It appeared to have an inverted tear drop shape, almost like a balloon (spherical but with a small conical projection underneath), but without! a distinct basket, and was very brightly illuminated, as though internally lit with a very powerful light which seemed to have no distinct source--like a brilliant, radiant glow. My wife states she was taken aback by its “otherworldly" beauty. A good description would have been an inverted tear drop shaped light bulb with faint horizontal bands. Checking back on it at 8:45 pm, it had completely disappeared from the sky. I was sorry not to have witnessed how it disappeared. Its motion had been so slow I’d expected it to still be visible and was surprised at its sudden disappearance. (( We suspect that the object was a hig-altitude, helium-filled balloon.

Carlsbad, CA
I was driving home from work and in the passenger seat of my car going south on I-5 I was leaning back looking out the sun roof because something told be to look up and I saw a craft directly over my car not even as high as the overpass this was at 10:30 at night between Carlsbad Village Drive and Palomar Airport road it was heading North over the top of my vehicle it had 5 lights and was gun metal black no shine and no noise it was right in above me for 5 seconds I have always believed but now I know for sure! by the time I turned around to look out the window it was gone. The craft was about 25ft across was a boomerang but it was filled in and blocking stars I had a real strange feeling that I needed to look up I have never felt that before when I saw it I knew 100% what it was I had no questions for some reason I just knew it was not of this world

Pickerington, OH
I saw triangular shape lights configured like the Big Dipper. Then they changed formation to a triangle, then all disappeared. Then they were all gone. There was a car in front of me who recorded the sighting on their cell phone. I pulled along side their car to ask if they saw what I saw and could explain it they were mystified as I.

I was looking at the stars outside before i went to bed, like i usually do. I looked towards the mountains behind my house and i seen about 7 multi colored lights, "green" being the most prominent" outlining a giant triangle. I would say its altitude would be about 3000 ft and it was heading N-NNE. As it flew over above i started to hear jet engines in the distance and it sounded like something was moving fast towards the direction of the Craft. I am familiar with aircraft this was not a 747.

Portland, OR
AS I CONTINUED TO DRIVE ON THE FREEMONT BRIDGE TOWARDS SALEM, I SAW ONE OF THE FOUR LIGHTS DIM AND THEN DISAPPEAR. THE THREE REMAINING LIGHTS SLOWLY MOVED INTO THE FORMATION OF A TRIANGLE. AFTER FORMING THIS TRIANGLE I COULD SEE THE SHAPE SLOWLY TURNING OVER PORTLAND. NO NOISE COULD BE HEARD OR NO DEFINITIVE VEHICLE OR PLANES COULD BE SEEN, ONLY THESE THREE LIGHTS WHERE THE POINTS OF THE TRIANGLE WOULD BE. AS I HIT THE SYLVAN EXIT, NO LIGHTS COULD BE SEEN ANYMORE, BUT A SMALL STATIC CAME UPON MY RADIO THAT HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE PASSING THE ZOO I SAW MULTIPLE CARS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD POSSIBLY STOPPED TO SEE THE SAME THING. AFTER THE LIGHTS WHERE GONE I COULD SEE 3 OBJECTS THAT LOOKED LIKE PLANES FLYING IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS WITH A GREEN FLASHING LIGHT AND A SOLID WHITE LIGHT. ALSO SEEN WAS A RED FLASHING LIGHT THAT WAS SMALLER THEN THE NORTH STAR THAT WOULD FLASH PERIODICALLY AND THEN TURN BLACK. I CALLED THE AIRPORT AROUND 2100 AND THEY TOLD ME NOTHING HAD BEEN REPORTED.

Prairieville, LA
Hovering triangular UFO glowing white and super bright with two white beams of light coming off it on the patch of land below. It seemed like the beams of light were a scanning mechanism of some sort. The patch of land was next to Airline Highway with no buildings just a few trees. I observed another aircraft further away but i'm not sure if it was relative to the UFO.

Edison, NJ
As I quickly looked back I noticed the lights weren't on ground level but, in the sky my girlfriend quickly said "record that thing." Within 1 sec of me opening my iPhone to camera this object moved about 1,000 ft from the east to right infront /above us.(At this time is when I start to record the object). The object is now hovering in front of us, and then goes from 2 lights to 3 lights in a triangular form and we can clearly see the triangle dark shadow with a bulb in the middle of it. It then started moving faster than what my camera can capture but, we can see it move in circular rotation twice as it came to a stop and more lights came on and then disappeared to! about 2 miles away west where we just saw the light moving at an insane speed. The whole time, we are driving with the windows down because of humidity, and as you watch the video notice it was completely silent with no blinking red and blue lights like a commercial airplane.

Broken Arrow, OK
On Saturday night, September 6, 2014, shortly before midnight a group of neighbors and I were outside with a fire pit, just hanging out and talking in our hometown of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. My friend was in mid-sentence of telling a story when she stopped and said “WHAT IS THAT???” pointing up to the sky. 3 of us girls stood up and turned around to see what she was pointing at. It was a formation of flying objects that appeared to be illuminated, but not lit up sort of in a bird formation. We watched this formation go across our heads for about 20 seconds starting from the north and disappearing toward the south. One of the women’s husbands mentioned this website as he is intrigued by situations like this. I just looked over the front page posts and they are VERY similar to what we saw.

Austin, TX
My fiance and I were driving northbound on Interstate 35 at approximately 9:45 pm, leaving downtown Austin. While approaching the Hwy 183 exit we both saw an extremely bright light that appeared to be moving South/slightly West (towards us). There was a dim blue light and red light appearing to be flashing on either side of the bright white light. As we approached the object we could see it was a HUGE triangular craft (approximately the size of a football field?) with a very intense white spotlight in the front and two white lights on either back corner. The red/blue lights appeared to be on the bottom of the craft. The object was hovering about 300-400 yards above the ground and did not appear to be moving by the time we passed it. It was very near to the Interstate. Either we crossed out of view suddenly, or the craft simply vanished in to thin air, as we were not able to see it (despite its enormous size) about a minute and a half after passing it. We were driving about 65-70mph.

Went outside to get into the truck..looked up at a flying object that was high up and to my north east..noticed no jet stream. Looked again and noticed a green and red flashing light,Very brightly. The object the moved incredibly fast to the south, made some very strange movements and stopped dead what seemed to be right over my neighbors house. The object made some very quick movements in diagonal like lines.

Elizabethtown/Louisville (travelling between), KY
I was on a Megabus route from Nashville TN to Louisville Kentucky, sitting on the top level in the very front of the bus in front of the large window. The entire duration of the sighting probably lasted forty five minutes from when I first noticed it but only maybe 15 minutes of it in full sight as it would dip above and below the tree line as we traveled, the craft not in sight for the full forty five minutes. The entire time that it was in my view it was either flying to the side of the bus or directly ahead of the bus to the left side of the interstate. I first noticed a formation to the right side of the bus that I could not make out what it was, but it was composed of blinking red and white lights almost as an airplane would look, and very far away and high in the sky. At the time the formation was so odd, it was almost in an L-shape, almost looked like an apache, but I've seen many of those fly between where I live in Nashville and Fort Campbell military base, and as it dropped in altitude I realized that that was not what it was. As it continued to drop in altitude and it was still flying in front and to the right of the bus, I could see more detail in the lights and it took on a V or chevron shape. Then as we traveled the craft went out of sight, and that's when maybe 10 minutes later I saw one appear very close on the left side of the interstate. (the shape of the craft was not changing, only what I could see of it and make out. I suspect that my first view of it only seeing the lights in an L-shape, that the cra! ft was actually facing sideways, whereas the rest of the sighting I am looking at the back of the craft as it flies forward.) It would change elevation very fluidly and speed up and slow down. When I saw this craft appear, I realized that it was not a V or chevron shape (that i thought could have perhaps been explained by a B52 stealth bomber-like military aircraft) but that it was actually the shape of a three-pointed star or a three-pronged/legged craft with white lights on the tip of each prong and flashing red lights in the center. That is when I took my phone out and started filming video of it and when it came closer into view I managed a photo of it. The large craft that I watched on the left stayed consistently in view for at least 10 minutes. Then a few minutes later, unfortunately I was not filming at this point, it dropped very very low, maybe only a couple hundred feet above the treeline (created by the wooded area that lined the interstate) and the ambient ! lights from the cars and street lights on the interstate manag! ed to sh ed enough light where I could see the underside of the craft, and that is when I realized that it was not a V shape, but a 3 pronged or legged craft. The entire underside of it was illuminated to a light beige or grey color (I did not see any shine on it) and I could see the full shape of it. When it came so close to the ground I realized it was an extremely large craft and something I would not estimate to only carry one individual, rather a craft that would have been designed to carry either multiple smaller craft or cargo. There were clearly no wings on it or propellers and no other signs of any external mechanisms that could have been propelling the craft. Also, the way in which the three legs of the craft were aligned did not seem to be in an aerodynamic fashion as you would see on triangular shaped military planes or aircraft, but rather a 3-pointed star with the legs equidistant from each other that was able to somehow fly very fluidly and very quickly. I have no! idea what was propelling this craft as there were no signs of any trails or substance (like fuel) being emitted by the craft. I also did not hear any strange sounds during the sighting, or see any kind glowing haze, smoke, or aura. The nature of the blinking red and white lights that adorned the edges and tips of the pronged craft lead me to believe that they were actually light bulbs flashing just as you would see on a plane, but the craft was clearly not like anything man-made that I have seen before, or that has been known to the public as any type of aircraft or drone. (I tried to also take video or pictures of this instance but my phone camera would not capture the lights as they were not bright enough and too far away.) Then later as the bus was coming into Louisville off the interstate and the large craft on the left had disappeared over the horizon/tree line (it dipped down very low and I could no longer see it) I look to the right of the bus and can see two lights in the distance, just barely larger than stars. I could see the red and white individual lights clustered together and realized that the two 'stars' were actually the craft I had seen, and that there were 2, not just one. For at least a minute, I could watch them ascend and drop altitude, very, very quickly, rising directly upwards and falling directly downwards. They were then very far away with an enormous distance between them vertically. The UFO that was highest in the sky flew ahead of the one below it, then stopped, and the UFO below it flew ahead so that it was i! n front of the one above it. Then they seemed to be changing altitude. Unfortunately by this point the bus was in the city and my view of the UFOs was eclipsed by a building and I could not see them after this point. During the sighting, I did look at other people who were on the bus with me and could see them also watching the craft, looking perplexed, but as it was between 12am and 1am, most on the bus were sleeping or had earphones in listening to music, so no one talked about it to each other, but it was very clear that others were seeing it as well. The strange thing to me is that I have google searched trying to find images of the craft that I saw and I cannot find anything like it. I have looked for images of all shapes of UFOs, all known military aircraft new and old, including drones. As I said, I do have multiple videos and images of the craft that I will try to upload from my phone, but I am not on my computer right now so it will have to be in a few days when I am home. Thank you for receiving my report. I really want to know if anyone else has ever seen something like this before, and what it could be.

North Royalton, OH
We saw a triangle shaped craft, with white lights along both sides and red lights along the back of the craft. The lights were not blinking. It hovered for several seconds above some tall trees before heading north towards Cleveland. There was no sound heard. We contacted the local Police and they had no other calls regarding this craft. I am confused as to whether it was some type of drone or a UFO? It was exciting either way !

Canal Winchester, OH
It was the size of a large stadium, 3 stories tall. Triangular in shape with lights at the 2 back corners. Would have thought it was a stealth fighter but it was very large, flying low, slow and seamed to be cruising at a low altitude not taking off or landing in my view. Flew east to west and the Columbus airport is NW and the air base is south west. Flew between the two airports. Couldn't have landed at these two airports do to its size, but was flying low below the radar, so to speak.

A triangle that had smaller triangular lights that changed about every 6-7 seconds from red-white-blue-yellow-and sometimes green, it looked like it was movin more of a lost rotation, not really in one way.

Clarence, NY
UFO seen going over Harris Hill Road in the town of Clarence, NY on the night of 09/03/2014, around 9:30pm. I was driving toward an intersection and stopped at red light. Bright white light in distance was brighter than any planets, but not as large as moon. Upon starting to drive from red light, I noticed white light approaching pretty fast until trees on side of road obscured it. Then as I drove, I saw a flat-triangle-shaped (point facing up) object that was larger than a plane would be, flying relatively low to ground, about as high as the highest treetop and then a little higher. Red and yellowish/white lights (2 on each side of middle point) blinked in a radiating pattern outward toward sides. Object passed diagonally at a 45-degreeish angle from one side of road over and was then obscured by trees on left side of road. Not sure of sound as my vehicle is loud. No other witness in car (I was alone.)

Melbourne Beach, FL
I was walking the dog on Sunset Blvd and I thought I saw a small plane of some sorts which was very bright like it was on fire. I stopped and watched it pass by for approx 30 seconds and I was almost expecting it to blow up or crash but it just slowly went by and disappeared. It didn't appear to go down towards the Melbourne airport as I would have expected. The sky was clear and a neighbor walked by the other direction but she did not see it object, it had disappeared at that time but I told her my observation. She mentioned other sightings in the area which is why I am reporting this one. I seriously thought it was a sessna aircraft on fire.

Heard loud noise, like a helicopter, when I looked out my window I saw a triangular type shape aircraft hovering just above the tree tops. It had a few white and red lights. It was not a helicopter. I have never seen an aircraft this shape hover as this one did.
