Bluffton, SC
I saw 3 reddish orange lights in the shape of a triangle. They were all moving together very slowly across the sky. The UFO seemed very large or close to the ground. I heard fireworks off in the distance but nothing from the craft itself. The lights did not blink like on a plane. I sat on the roadside and watched it slowly fade off into the night. Its almost as if it was comfortable to be there because of all the other lights in the sky that night! Like it was camouflaged.

Seattle, WA
The event I witnessed occurred on the evening of July 4th, 2014 at 10:00pm + or – a few minutes. I was waiting for the Seattle 4th of July, 2014, fireworks to begin. I was facing north, standing to the west side of the Museum of History and Industry at the South end of Lake Union. I noticed one orange, non-blinking light appear high over the North end of the lake. More likely the light was over the Puget Sound. The light moved slowly south and did not change size, color or brightness. The first light was then followed by a second and a third at equal spacing, single file moving south. When the lights were directly due west from me (over Queen Anne Hill) the lead light turned west and then disappeared but not behind the high cloud cover. The second and third light followed the same route. Once the three lights were gone, a single orange none blinking light appeared at the same point of origin as the first three. This single light stayed stationary. At about the same time this single light appeared, 3 or 4 Helicopters moved to the West and could have been below the light. The sky was full of multiple aircraft and helicopters that night. The marker and anti-collision lights are VERY obvious. The lights I saw did not look or flash like aircraft lights. About 10 minutes later an orange light appeared as before, to the North of my location. This time the second and third light appeared quicker and the three lights moved into a triangle position. Again they moved South at the same speed and route as before. The “lower” appearing light moved in and out, changing the shape of the triangle. Again once the lights were due west of me, they appeared to go west and then disappeared. This time the high cloud cover was going. They simply went out. I did get pictures of the lights.

I saw 4-5 yellow red orange object in the sky, I thought first it was plane or something, but they were too close to each other to be air plane, and they were to slow. it happened when my papa jones pizza delivery here, I asked the guy, is that air plane, he said I dont think so, I thought it was just some nature lighting reflections, so I joke with him said maybe its UFO, then later my girl friend went out, the lights still there in the sky, we didnt take a picture, because it was too small to cap in my phone, I live in oakland gardens NY state.

Mt. Vernon, IN
The lady and her husband went outside approximately between 9:15 and 9:20 to set off a few fireworks and watch neighborhood fireworks. At approximately 9:30 they noticed an object traveling from the east to the west then southwest. The object appeared to have 3 reddish/reddish orange lights in a triangular pattern. It made no sound. They observed it for approximately 5 minutes. It seemed to be really high but really big and followed a straight line and did not waiver. Her husband estimated that when it suddenly disappeared it must have been over Illinois or maybe even Missouri. The object did not disappear behind trees, it disappeared from the sky like turning out a light. Several planes flew over in the next 15-20 minutes going different directions and altitudes. All observed to have blinking lights and you could hear the engine on these planes. (MUFON 57635)

Louisville, KY
At approximately 9:00pm we saw a red light in the sky moving from the northeast to the southwest. When it first appeared it was low in the horizon at around 10,000 feet in altitude. The light on the aircraft went out and we could see a triangular aircraft that was totally black with no running lights. It was totally silent and moved out of our sight into the horizon. This area is near the Louisville International Airport and seeing aircraft at all hours of the day is common, however this was very different because it flew across the normal flight path with no lights and no sound.

West Carrollton, OH
This happened to me last night in West Carrollton, OH. I took the dog out around midnight to find a strange looking cloud similar to a roll cloud moving quickly east. It flowed across the horizon like a giant jet contrail, and stretching as far as the eye could see. However it was tremendously lower and larger than I would expect of a contrail and the consistency appeared more like shaving crème than mist. It had peculiar alternating curls forming intermittently on each side as it continued east. I watched the cloud as it traveled out of my city and was startled by the silhouette of a giant black triangle. It was completely silent and without lighting. I observed the object hovering in front of a cloudbank that was illuminated by the city of Moraine. I decided the combination of this unnatural and eerie cloud formation and the giant black triangle would be enough to finally vindicate me with my wife who finds my interest in the unexplained distasteful. After around five minutes of prodding I dragged her outside. By that time the triangle was gone, the sky was clearing and stars visible. She had been less than thrilled when I described the sighting a few weeks earlier and refused to wait and see if we could spot the craft again. She stormed away, frustrated again by her "lunatic husband". I stared up at the stars where the previously unnoticed and rapidly expanding puffy white clouds where racing toward one another. The moment the door slammed shut two tine white orbs that seemed to have long straight tails streak through the cloud cover. They resembled the little firecrackers in twisted white paper you give you kids to throw at the sidewalk while you light the real ones. I had seen the combination of strange cloud behavior and streaking white orbs recently, so I hoped I could expect to see more. And for the next four hours I witnessed more abundant and varied phenomenon then I ever would have expected. I still hav! e a flip phone with a terrible camera so it was too dark when ! I attemp ted to take pictures. Within minutes a black helicopter with a bright green light came into the area where I was observing the clouds. It was quieter than the Blackhawks I became accustomed to at Ft. Campbell, but bot nearly silent. It hovered briefly overhead, the turned to pursue a thick smooth puff of cloud as it started to suddenly rapidly ascend towards the main cloud cover. The cloud seemed to have a slight glow and as it speed off the rear fanned slightly making it look like a little flying whale. s I lost sight of them quickly behind the tree line. Shortly thereafter, noticed a dim bluish pulsing light coming from the larger group of clouds. The mist settled quickly and I thought there could be craft overhead but when I stared my vision became blurry and my eyes wouldn't focus. Repeated attempts to avert and clear my eyes and observe the object through the mist began to give me a strong headache. By the eerie way they moved and the abnormal consistency I assumed that! something other than then nature was influencing them. However I decided to check around the back of my building as it has less light posts and better visibility, Not sure how long I sat out there, but just when I was about to give up a glowing yellowish white ball of light dropped straight out of the sky, I couldn't judge the distance properly or discern where it came from, It seemed to just materialize at high altitude and drop straight down. However a few minutes a an aircraft ascended at a steep angle from what seemed to be where the glowing ball must have fallen. This craft was possibly unrelated as we are close to an airport. had rapidly flashing red and white lights just as civilian craft, yet it was silent and moved very fast. I remained outside a short time, until my growing headache compelled me to call it a night. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he stated that he did not want to talk about the incident. We found it very difficult to communicate with the individual, and he became quite profane. We wonder whether the report might be a hoax. PD

My friend and i been seeing this lights on the sky for the past 2 days past 3 am in the shape of a triangle with white lights going around it looks to be really big and last night took the form of a big rectangle, The first time it was just me and her and no one will believe us so the second time we took someone else and he is as inpres as we are, we get a scary sensation and chills all over. Also we can't seem to hear any sounds of the lights on the sky.

It was like an upside down triangle. But, it looked like a cloud, but the edges of it were straight. It was also on the left side of the moon and then eventually it went above a tree and disappeared. Plus, I've believed in aliens and UFOs most of my life and I have never seen that in my entire life. Also, I have seen one as a child, 10 years old. I was in the back door needing to feed my Doberman and I saw a HUGE, silver, 30 foot long UFO floating 15 feet above the road by the fence. I freaked out! I ran back inside and nothing else happened after that. I'm 15 years old now. To prove it, I was born on December 22, 1998. I want someone to believe me, also my brother saw it, but my mom, dad, and two sisters won't believe me. I'm afraid I'll get obducted. I'm one of those people who will totally FREAK OUT if I get obducted. Please believe me. Thank you so much!

I was outside taking the garbage out at 11. I looked up And these 2 aircraft started going in a circle motion around each other. They were bright red. Then they collided really fast. The one stood in place while the other one flew slowly away as it got closer i could see more than one color. It was too high up and dark to see it clearly but I would say it was a triangle. There were orange red and yellow lights on the tips. It then disappeared. I was in shock

While on guard duty, I observed a triangular UFO pass over my position at treetop level. It was approximately 60 feet long by 40 feet at the widest. It displayed a single white beam in the front. It slowly passed over my position in about two minutes going south to north in absolute silence.

NW OKC off NW Expressway and Penn, I saw a very brightly lit inverted triangle-shaped object plummet from the sky. It went behind trees, but I looked intently incase something happened when it hit the ground, but saw nothing. It's hard for me to guess size because I have no idea how close it was to me, but I observe planes in that same area of sky all the time and this was at least five times bigger than planes appear.

My husband and I were traveling south on highway 121 headed to work. A triangle with white lights at each point appeared high in the horizon. The object moved in a forward motion while the lights alternated around the points. I would say it was in our atmosphere for 5-10 seconds. We both observed it and then it shot off and was gone.

Description of craft- When it appeared over the horizon it was just a red and white blinking light. As it peered closer, the object turned off the red and white lights, and on went blue lights. Keep in mind that the sky was about 65% clouds so it was out of sight here and there. As the craft came closer it had a boomerang shape, and the blue lights were on, it looked like this. (sorry I’m a very bad drawer) http://puu.sh/9P5h6/7bf8839289.png After it was there for less than 30 seconds, it shot off, over 1000 mph. The craft was not as large as seen in the picture; it was at the cloud line. This object was not right above me, it was about 3 miles away, but it was large. What the craft did- All they did was hover in and out of the clouds before shooting off into the distance. It stopped after less than ten seconds of flying and lowered. It was over 2 miles away at this time. At this time I had returned with my phone, and recorded a video of it. I cut out the time in the video when the craft had disappeared. Shortly after the craft left for the last time I heard a faint boom, I presume a sonic boom from the craft leaving the atmosphere. Shape and Color of Craft- Triangle with blue lights Backgrounds-I myself am a straight A student, that looks at everything. I want to know how stuff works. I love looking at the sky, with my mom’s boyfriend. Were interested in aliens and stuff like that. Our family is super poor, so we wished we had a 30 mm camera to snap good photos of the craft. At the moment he is a restoration worker, he fixes stuff. THIS IS THE VIDEO I TOOK AS THE CRAFT WAS GOING AWAY- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVwMgWsNdr4

Red Hook, NY
Looking outside my patio window, I noticed an orange reflection through the trees in our back lawn. I thought it was strange but figured it was someone using a light to fish in the pond beyond the trees, so I disregarded it. About a couple of minutes later my daughter came in the house from work and seemed excited about something. She said "dad, you have to come outside and see this." I asked her what she saw. She said, "there's something in the sky, and I don't know what it is." I went out and we moved across the lawn to where we could see above the trees. We observed 4 orange V-shaped objects in the sky moving NNW at a slow speed in a irregular formation. The fourth object seemed to be trailing the other three. At first I thought they may be helicopters, but there were no navigational lights on them. They were moving too slow for any aircraft I'd be familiar with, jet, prop, or rotor wing. They didn't change direction. We watched them until they disappeared. As a retired military officer, I'm very familiar with aircraft, both civilian and military. They were about 45 degrees from the horizon. Not knowing the altitude, it would be a difficult guess as to how large they were. I would estimate that they would be as large as a private jet. I would estimate speed of about 70-85 mph. The sky was clear, no clouds, no haze.

Triangle shaped object with 2 white lights and a blinking red one appeared to be "chasing" a red circular object. They kept circling above my house until I finally was freaked out enough to go inside.

I was sitting on my porch at approximately 23:00 hours and looked up in to the clear night sky at what I thought was a bright orange star flickering in the south sky. It became apparent after I stared at it for several seconds that it was hovering and moving gently to the left and the right. I then thought it was some type of plane or helicopter but I heard no sounds of engines from a helicopter or plane. It also seemed so high and far away because it was the size of the stars that were out in the sky. Within the first minute of observing it moving back and forth from east to west the orange light broke away into three orange lights then took the form of an inverted triangle, with the original orb being at the base of the inverted triangle while two other orbs formed the top corners. It appeared as a black triangular mass that was joined at the three corners by the orange lights. It briefly expanded and contracted and moved to the right fairly quickly and then just hovered remained stationary. I then opened the door and yelled for my husband to come quick and tell me what he sees. He ran to the kitchen window saw where I was describing and then the three orbs seemed to contract back into the original orb and it immediately shot straight up (quickly) and the event was over. It only lasted for approximately 4-5 minutes. I stood and observed the sky for about another five minutes and saw and heard nothing.

Rough and Ready, CA
As I usually do each evening just before retiring, I look at the stars out of my window. This evening it was overcast and I couldn't see any stars. As I was about to leave the window I saw a very large bright red flashing light, it wasn't like the usual airplane white light with smaller red one. This flashing light soon became a straight up and down line of red flashing lights. I watched wonder what it could be,a satellite? After watching it a few minutes it became a triangle of flashing red lights, the same first column in the same up and down position and the two other columns forming a triangle to the left. It remained stationary for a minute and then slowly moved in a westerly direction. I thought Oh Gosh that is a UFO, as I watched it slowly move to the left it was about to go out of my sight, I exclaimed out loud "Oh no! come back this way." To my amazement it started back toward the direction it had just come from, all the while the large red lights are continuing to flash. It returned to the starting point where I had first observed the light and stood still for a time. The triangle then started to move away from me and slowly disappeared in a north West direction.

Family vacation all looking off top deck of house into ocean towards avon fishing pier. 3 bright lights formed horizontally and the into triangle and then disapeared and reappeared in seperate location and then dissapeared. Moments later air force jets showed up super high did some loops and were gone. Time went by and lights reappeared, 2 this time, for seconds and vanished, 10 minutes later jets came back to snoop around. These lights were large had no sound or object behind them as the sky was not yet dark on their first time around. Totally strange. Obviously the air force were looking for something???

Movement was faster than a typical aircraft but it circled around the sky for approximately 20 minutes then disappeared behind some trees;I was driving at the time.
