Monroe, WA
Spotted a dark blue/gray triangle shaped craft crossing over skylight just above the low clouds. Anticipated some kind of jet engine noise but there was none and no sonic boom. Traveling north to south at very high speed, thus the short observation time.

Le 1er septembre 2014 entre 23h30 et 23h40 un témoin dans sa chambre au 5eme étage observe quelques secondes par sa fenêtre un objet volant triangulaire composé de 6 tâches blanches non éblouissantes, se déplaçant à faible allure à moins de 50m de haut. Le témoin a vu le PAN triangulaire de profil sans voir de "masse" disparaître de sa vue au-dessus d'un immeuble voisin. Aucun bruit n'est entendu durant cette observation "inattendue". Aucun autre témoignage n'est rapporté. Ce cas a fait l'objet d'une rencontre avec le témoin pour une reconstitution et un entretien (ce qui a permis notamment d'affiner l'heure d'observation (entre 23h et minuit sur le questionnaire)). La description du ou des PAN (aspect planant, vitesse,configuration en V, taille, ainsi que d’autres éléments) milite fortement pour une observation d'un vol d’oiseaux migrateurs (oies cendrées) se dirigeant vers la zone Est du Lac Léman (présence d'une réserve ornithologique) ou d’oiseaux locaux (cygnes) dérangés par les bruits de concert ce soir là. Dans les deux cas, les lumières de la ville se reflètent sur le plumage pour donner l'aspect tel que décrit (voir le compte-rendu d'enquête). En conséquence le GEIPAN classe le cas en B : probable observation d'oiseaux. [GEIPAN classification B — Oiseau]

Austin, TX
It was in late September early October when I witnessed this event. Me and a friend where sitting outside when I seen what appears to be 2 single lights. The lights where off in the distance but the way they were moving immediately struck me as odd..they were positioned cade corner from eachother .by the way they were moving in a way that caught my eye..I asked my friend what he thought they were and we watched the lights for about 5 minutes..we both threw out suggestions of what we thought it was..my best description was that it moved like a helicopter. After watching for a few minutes and calling my brother to come look at what we were looking at the 2 lights that appeared close to eachother a moved one left one right in a blink of an eye to either side of the sky.. My brother was spooked and went inside in a hurry.me and my friend stayed outside ..The lights were now accross the sky from eachother..The one that moved to the left appeared to be coming in our direction.the one that went to the right was farther from us and our attention was on the one nearest... We watched this single white light come closer at a very low speed.i couldn't see any shape at this point but from the way it moved and how low it was flying I knee something was very odd. Keep in mind.i do live by an airport and see planes all the ttime and never seen one move this wsy..The movement was more of a hover.the speed was very slow. we could tell it was coming towards the area we were at.i don't know the exact distance it was from us but it was getting closer and closer and we still didn't hear any noise coming from the object. My friend was then spooked and tries to run inside .I grabbed his arm and asked him to wait with me .We stood there another minute and it was getting closer to the point where I agreed and we both ran inside. As soon as I get inside my curiosity just starts eating at me and I ran back outside .I look towards where I last seen the object.nothing there.i look straight up in the sky and it was directly above me. It was a triangle shaped aircraft.i didn't see the white light anymore but red lights that lined the front in a v shape.the rest of the craft was pitch black. My parents property is is a little over an acre and this craft looked every bit larger ..it seemed to be so low I could throw a rock at it.it was completely silent and moving at a low speed.i was in shock or awe from what I had seen. One thing that I still don't understand is why I didn't see it fly away.i forget if I ran back inside or what I did.my mind was running a thousand mph it seemed. I just remember looking back up at it and didn't see it any more.there was no noise or vibration for me to look in its directiom.it was just gone. I started talking to the neighbors right after this took place when 2 jets with huge spotlights .I mean lights that lit up the land huge ,started flying in a big circle around this area. Never has anyone heard jets that loud fly so low or jets with massive spotlights on them around here. This was definitely an odd occurance.i mean those jets were odd due to the fact that no one has seen those either but the triangle shaped craft that flew directly over my mom's house without a sound was scary odd.it was like watching a paper airplane in the air.not a noise. Witness indicates that the date is approximate. PD

these craft start out and stay brighter than any star, move in ways no known aircraft can manage (side-to-side, up and down, forward and backward), change color from white to red to blue to green to orange and shape from triangular to ellipse to diamond, Y-shaped, and even single-point. one witness was watching a plane heading west when the first craft appeared, it started out moving extremely fast due east then stopped suddenly in mid air and has remained visible ever since at night, starting at dusk.

Southwest desert, AZ
I want to report that I saw 3 brilliant bright orbs of light at about 9:30 am on September 1, 2014. 1. I was on a United Airlines flight from Denver to Orange County. These bright blinding lights were flickering out in the middle of nowhere in the Southwest desert. I believe the location was somewhere between the Grand Canyon and Nevada. It was in an area minus of any trees, rivers, or lakes. Only miles and miles of dry, arid brown and red soil in all directions which looked as it had once been the bottom bed of a deep ocean. The sky was clear on the morning of Sept. 1, 2014 and I saw three blinding bright lights flickering from a plateau. These lights remained grounded in a stationary position on this plateau which was in an uninhabitable arid area with no sign of life for at least a hundred miles in any direction. I saw no river or lake, on signs that once in the prehistory of the region that an ocean had been present. This region looks as if it can support no life. The lights were lined up one in front of the other with smaller blinking lights, just as bright blinking. The 3 large orbs of lights glowed steadily and did not flash. I wasn’t able to get a photograph of this sighting but I did go online to see if anyone else had witnessed this strange phenomenon in the middle of nowhere. I did find a video posted on youtube.com which appears to be exactly within the same region and of the same type of vehicles that I sighted. This sighting occurred on June 10 2014- and can be f! ound on Youtube under : STRANGE- THREE UNUSUAL BRIGHT LIGHTS The person recording this sighting also observed the lights while in flight to Los Angeles. The only difference with his sighting is that these lights he filmed appear to airborne whereas the lights I observed were stationary on a large plateau. Given that the lights were so bright it made it difficult to see to what these lights were attached. It did look as if they were attached to some large dark triangular shaped aircraft sitting all one in front of the other. I only know that the area where these parked vehicles were emiting the brightest light I have ever encountered most probably did not originate from any human being, as survival in that area would be next to impossible without the aid of aircraft to transport anyone to that region. This region is the most desolate and uninhabitable region of the U.S. and can not sustain life.

Harrisburg, PA
The object was triangle. I was looking into the air, I noticed three orange lights.. in a triangle formation. I'd initially thought they were all separate, until I focused my vision and could see an actual ship. A ship with some kind of camouflage. I had seen this same ship in my dream, a lucid dream. The dream was a few seconds long. I was in the woods naked, for some reason.. Then I look up and see two saucer type ships, and that same triangular ship above them. My 7 my cousin often see these orange lights, and have heard cannon fire from a local military base shortly before/after seeing them.

5 mins after seeing a white orb streak passed us my family and i witnessed a arrow/triangle shaped craft dark grey/light black .blends in with sky an makes absolutely no sound. Very dim lights on each corner and simply disappears without a trace as your watching it. I have seen a pattern with this craft and its always after the white orbs are seen in the area, the night before this only my husband saw it ..

Salisbury, MD
COPIED E-MAILED MESSAGE/REPORT: Hello Mr. Davenport, It was nice to speak with you tonight about my sighting. My name is ((deleted)). I’m an Airline Pilot, based in Salisbury, MD. I’ve flown for three different airlines, and corporate operations since 1988. Tonight at 2048 local time I witnessed an equilateral triangle shaped object, due north of my position, moving east. The corners of the triangle were defined by reddish-orange orbs of light. It made no sound that I could hear, and appeared to roll about its longitudinal axis, so that I was observing the object edge on. I was observing the object from PGH, the local hospital, and it seemed to be about 5 to 10 statute miles away. I will attach a photo. I hope this helps with any investigation that may ensue. ((name deleted)) We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite sincere and sober-minded. We suspect that he is a skilled, and highly reliable, witness. PD

Liverpool (north Syracuse), NY
My girlfriend and I were driving back to her apartment in Liverpool after my cousins wedding on a friday night. The NY state fair was still going on which I think I saw that someone there saw the same thing as me. I'm very skeptical on whether people actually see UFO's and such. Although that night was different. I saw what at first looked like plane over Onondaga Lake. Although I then realized the "Plane" wasn't moving anywhere. It looked to just hover. This aircraft then started slowly moving away from the lake and towards our direction in the sky. It passed from the left side of the street we were on and ended up going to the right. I turned all of my music off and opened my window and heard nothing at all. If it were an airplane I would have easily heard it. It wasn't as high up as a plane either. As it got closer to my vicinity, It looked like a triangle. There were bright lights lined up on it from the front to the back, unlike planes that have a bright light and then blinking lights on back wings. Being so much closer than an actual plane you would think it would be moving fast. It slowly went across the sky while my girlfriend and I pondered as to what it could be. We questioned everything possible. This wasn't anything I've seen before. I bet it was either a government aircraft that no one knows about, or a UFO, even thought I do not want to admit it.

Pocatello, ID
August 29, 2014 I live in Pocatello, Idaho. Approximately 70 miles North of Utah and 70 miles West of Wyoming. I am setting up my camera Nikon D7000 with Nikon 300mm f 2.8 manual lens, a large lens and heavy. Manual settings pre-set on my camera. I was ready, at just a couple minutes before 9:00 pm. I make my way out into my driveway where I set up my camera on a tripod and a chair to start the waiting game of Sky watching, I barely had the camera set in place when I looked up, it was a cloudy but warm evening. The clouds were less than a mile up, lots of room between me and the clouds but they were not real high, the city lights could light them up a little. When I am outside I have to look to the sky, it is impossible for me to not look up, I always feel as though I am being watched from up there, weird I know, but so am I. So I look up towards the East over my house, just below the clouds is a Pinkish light moving very slowly due West, I immediately jumped on the camera thinking, (Couldn't you wait till I got set up?) I started snapping picture's, I took 32 pictures of it as it moved across the sky. I had to reposition the camera a few times because I can only take so many pictures before the object moves out of the frame, and with a 300 mm lens the field of view is rather small. While taking pictures and looking through the viewer I saw a Red light flash and I thought to myself, that I was wasting my time taking picture's of an airplane or Jet plane. So I stopped and looked at the pictures I just took on the camera because I could enlarge them, that's when I saw the light formation with the large light in the center, now I knew this was not a plane, and looked back up to find the object and continue photographing. Big Mistake on my part because the object was gone, and I didn't see how i! t could have disappeared, either it went up into the clouds or it shot off at high speed, because it was right up in front of me. I can and would be excited about forwarding my picture's to you via email. Mine is a very short story but I have pictures and that says it all. As far as I can tell the craft is a Triangle, it has a Bluish light on 3 sides with a larger Redish light in the center. I am guessing because the craft was at least a mile from me when I say it in the dark, it had to be somewhere 30 to a 100 feet in size. I could not make out detail of the craft or it's shape, because it was dark up in the sky, but the pictures lead one to believe it is of a Triangular shape

The colors were distinct and separate, the trail was bright and sharp, it wasn't a glow, just bright. Like nothing I've ever seen. It didn't trail down but more so looked like it went off into the sky. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Houston/Meyerland, TX
I was playing basketball with my son on our driveway, back by the garage, at around 7:55 pm, when my attention caught this black triangular object in the southern sky, not overhead and not on the horizon, but in the middle but more overhead. I saw the black triangular object with three lights at each point for no longer than 3 seconds. It was rather large, perhaps the size of the moon and a small cloud was in its path. It passed behind the small cloud, and I could see the lights become covered by the small cloud, but when I expected the object to reappear after passing over the small cloud, it did not reappear. Also, the vector movement of the triangular object in a straight line was not related to one point moving forward or one side moving forward. When the object disappeared, I also noticed that the small cloud developed and became somewhat thicker. There was no opportunity to visually record the event as it happened so quickly. I have never witnessed any thing like this before.

On that August night of 2014, my girlfriend and I were crossing the Washington Bridge (not the Geo. Washington Bridge ), rather, the one that you cross to get from the Bronx to Manhattan. While crossing to Manhattan, we noticed a large black triangular object floating towards downtown Manhattan. The craft didn't have any lights nor it made a sound. I felt terrified for a second. Then it just faded away into the darkness.

I had looked up and noticed a craft with a red, and green lights in the sky. Don't know of any aircraft that has green and red lights. The red light was as red as a stoplight, and the green light was as green as a green light at a traffic stop. It look like the front of the craft have the green light on it. As I went further south I was watching the craft move about in the ssky. It moved tightly. I believe its all me, or notice that I seen it. It had seemed to follow me for a while then turned away.I had flashed my lights from the vehicle to see if it would follow it had caught up to me quite quickly. I am not sure on what I scene. We have amended the date to August 26th, 2014. PD

West Kelowna (Canada), BC · Canada
This is my second sighting. First sighting occurred approximately 3 months ago, same location, with a witness. Object appeared to be flat, triangular. It almost appeared transparent, but we could see very faint round lights along the margin of the object, giving hint to its shape. Absolutely no sound came from it. It travelled rather slow, approximately 100 feet up from where we were standing. First sighting, it lasted maybe 5 seconds; second sighting last night approximateely 10 seconds. Last night I was able to follow its direction for that length of time, but then lost visual contact or disappeared. During the first sighting it was travelling south to north; last night's sighting it was travelling east to west, and directly over the town of West Kelowna (area of SuperStore grocery store), both times.

I saw a UFO last night. It was really quiet and it was very close to me. I was in the middle of nowhere. Between Nevada and Oregon. I turned the car off the look at the stars. It had 3 points of energy output and was a warm flare looking color. It was definitely and triangle shape and something that was strange was it seemed to disappear and reaper as if it was going behind something in the sky. I wasn't in the mood to get abducted so I got the hell out of there :) Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Lago Vista, TX
I walked out onto my deck, looked to the Northwest sky over Pace Bend on Lake Travis and saw what appeared to be one craft, shaped like a pyramid on top and an inverted pyramid. It made no sound as it hovered in place. The lights were bright blue, in several places on the formation, mixed with white lights that blinked. It very slowly began to move in my direction, so I went inside, as I became frightened. My home is on an airline flight path, but this was not a plane. It made no sounds, and had too many lights to be a plane. It is also not typical that we have planes flying over at this time of night.

UFO Sighted on 8/26/2014 On Aug. 25, 2014 at around 11:15 p.m., the wife and I went out on our deck to look at the star's which we do now and then if it's not to cool outside. This night we didn't go out till late being we were watching TV and was getting ready for bed when I went to shut the back door, looked out and seen it was a clear night and the stars were out bright. I asked the wife if she wanted to go out and look at the stars and drink a coffee/tea before going to bed, which we did. We did see a few falling stars and only one airplane which we thought was strange being planes seem to travel over our airspace almost constantly, at least it seems that way at times, but that night we only seen one. At about 12:15 a.m. which would make it Aug. 26, we decided to go in and go to bed. I know sooner got up out of my chair and looked up in the sky in a SW direction when I seen this bright white light in the sky and said out loud, "What the heck is that"? The wife then looked in the direction I was looking and seen the same object, she to didn't have any idea what it might have been. Being we see so many planes fly overhead here we knew it wasn't a plane, or at least none like we ever seen before. The object was triangle shaped and continued flying silently towards us, then amost directly over top of us and made no noise what-so-ever. I managed to grab the video camera and record a short video of the object as it traveled now away from us in a straight line. Looking at the object it seemed as though there was two big white lights side by side in the rear while the whole nose of the object looked to be lighted up which reminded me of the space capsule from the 60's that the astronauts used to use. In the video of the object, any movement of the object other then going straight was from camera shake from me being cold, plus I had zoomed in on the object making camera shake even worse. Weather Conditions: Wind: Calm Sky: Clear Temp: L Low to mid 50's F. Fog: None that we could see or know of Dew: Yes Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Rochester, NY
I am reporting this for a friend, his words: About 10:15, i let the dogs out in the backyard. I immediately noticed a bright light in the west about 20 degrees up. It was flickering, i knew it wasn't a star. I got the binoculars and saw it had flashing lights, red, white and an occasional blue or green. A few times a bright beam of pinkish light shot out to the side. The light stayed in one spot except that it occasionally moved a hair sideways and back, or in a small circle. I couldn't get the binoculars to focus sharply on it, although I can focus on the craters of the moon or a jet at 35,000 feet. After a while watching I sort of decided that it was in a triangular shape and was rotating. I walked down the street to get a better look. At the top of the beach i noticed another light, same deal, out over the lake. This was not like any of the lights I've seen out there. When I had a clear view of the sky I saw that there was another one low in the northwest, like over toward Toronto. About 11:15 all three were suddenly gone. They didn't move away, they went out. I came in the house and was heading into bed when there were five bright flashes in the southern sky, like a flash going off. There was never any noise from any of this. The flash was bright enough to throw shadows of the trees into the room. In the middle of the night, around 2:30, wife said "I can't sleep...aliens".
