Falmouth, ME
We were driving on Interstate 295 Southbound, when three orange lights appeared on the right side of the car, about 100 feet above, just entering the tree line. Then a fourth trailing light to the right of the triangle; it was transparent due to the fact that clouds could be seen in between the lights, so maybe four separate orange lights. The orange was like a street light but a much softer glow. We think they were Fire Lanterns. Pretty incredible site though.

We were driving down highway 50 and saw triangular shaped lights. We tried to rationalize thinking it was probably a B-2. But it was moving WAY too slow. We then thought it was probably an antenna. The problem was when we got closer, we observed that the object moved. It was moving REALLY slow. Approximately 10 miles an hour. We couldn't stop, due to traffic, but we estimated it must have been as big as an eight story building.

Went outside around 9:30 or so to see if I could see the moon, supposed to be extra bright. It was too early to see it but I saw three large bright lights in line in the area where I would normally see tiny lights of my nearest neighbor. It looked like a huge UFO, HUGE, was over my neighbors' house. I stared at it a while trying to make sense of it. Went in and woke up my husband. He finally came out and was amazed too. It was like... REALLY, what are we seeing...are we asleep? Then the middle light became 2 then it moved closer to us and to the left very slowly, looked very low, was silent, was HUGE. I could not identify it as anything I would know of. So I am thinking.... dreaming. But pretty cool. We were thinking 3 or 4 B2 bombers? Stealth forming a giant shape of a UFO? Then there were several lights 3 of them blinking, some red, some white. Still looking triangle in shape. Still quiet but could hear slight vibration or something. I would think this was several helicopters flying in an extremely coordinated formation, VERY slowly to look like a giant object in the sky. It was so huge and seemed right there, so I would think it would have made noise. Whatever it was, it was very cool to see it. I hope to hear what it/they was.

I had some friends over for a hot dog roast and they had just left. I went outside to bring in items from a yard sale we had earlier that day and I was walking towards my carport. I looked up and saw a bunch of circles hovering in the distance and yelled for my sister and her friend to come outside and they freaked out and told me to film it. I didn't have my phone so I ran into the house grabbed mine and ran back out. While I did that, they grabbed their phones, too. I started my camera app and tried to record with my iPhone but the lights didn't show up on the screen, so I put my phone in my pocket and just watched it. All of a sudden it started moving towards us and as it got closer it looked more and more like a triangle and I pulled out my phone again and could see the lights on the screen, so I started to record it. The object passed over-head, it was massive. Others and I estimate it to be 300 to 500 feet wide in size. The object emitted 6 lights. The front light was white, followed by a set of 2 lights that were red/green at the same time, and those where followed by a set of three white/yellow lights.all of the lights pulsated. It continued on a path south west. I remembered that my friends had just left and shouldn't be that far down the road so I stopped recording and called them and told them to look towards the sky towards my house they pulled over on the highway and watched it while discussing it with me till it was out of sight. Other people I don't even know have reported seeing it on Facebook too. Sorry for the profanity in the video she was a little freaked out. I have tried submitting this to MUFON twice and within hours the case is missing from there database I screen shotted the thank you note that includes the case numbers as proof. Also the UFOstalker web site which automatically saves cases to track in real-time still has these cases listed along with the descriptions. I just find it weird that MUFON would do this. So hopefully you guys can help me identify this object because it was truly amazing.

While watching an outside Shakespeare play in St. Louis, Missouri, my attention was mostly on the play until I glanced up and took notice of the equilateral triangle of stars. I saw three stars geometrically in line they formed an equilateral triangle. At first, I thought that they were just stars, but then I noticed how equal the lines were. So I started watching them instead of the play, just for a about 4 minutes. Then they all disappeared right before my eyes, simultaneous all at the same time. I thought that maybe there was a cloud. So I waited to see if they would reappear, they did not. And the sky was pretty clear, with some wind and a few clouds. I know that in the constellations there are Summer and Winter star triangles. I told my husband and he said that it was the Summer Triangle. Why would they all disappear at the same time and not return. I looked for them later and did not see them again.

Hermann, MO
We were having a family gathering at a remote farm owned by a family member, about 45 minutes south of Hermann, Missouri, in Gasconade County. Around 9 pm, we all witnessed a bizarre string of lights over the trees in the distance in the North sky. This object was far too wide to be plane. I estimate that the object was a few thousand feet from the ground, as it was below the clouds. The lights from this point of view were in flat string, as if all the lights were in a row on the same level. The lights stayed there for about 5 minutes, without moving. There were 5 lights, 4 red and one yellow. After it hovered for about 5 minutes, it began moving towards the Northwest. There was no sound coming from the object. It had a triangular shape. There were two lights in the front, two lights on the outer tail-end wings, and one located in the middle of the object. It moved in a very direct path. As it was moving northwest, it changed shape. The rear right light (when looking at it, the rear left light if looking at it from behind), moved to the front of the object as if it was rotating, however the object never changed paths. When the object was coming from the North, a slight outline of the object could be seen, which was triangular. The sun had set, but the sky in the northwest was still a light blue color. As it moved into the light blue area of the sky, it was clear that the object was transparent. The outline of the object could no longer be seen. We could see the sky through the object, as if the object was not there at all. The object continued moving northwest until it was out of sight. There were no other vehicles/objects that were seen following this craft. Upon further investigation on the Internet, I found that someone had reported a helicopter following the same path (of an object of the same description) about 2 hours after the event. I have never seen anything of this size in the sky, nor have I ever seen an object change shapes while continuing to move in the same direction. It’s hard to say due to the unknown distance and height how big the object was. Although even if it were a plane straight over our heads it would only be a fraction of the size of this object. I estimate that it had to be 1000+ feet in length.

While watching a Shakespeare Play at Forest Park, I noticed in the night sky some stars. It was a pretty clear night and very windy. I took special notice of three stars that were equilaterally aligned and formed a perfect triangle. I watched them for about four minutes thinking how crazy it was that they were so evenly distanced apart. Then simultaneously they all went out. I thought wow that’s really weird so I’ll just wait to see if they reappear, maybe clouds went over. But they did not reappear and this was about 9:45 pm. And the other stars that were in the sky did not go out. I whispered to my husband that I thought I saw a UFO and he said maybe it was a summer Triangle. Why did they all go out at once? I was curious if anyone else reported this sighting. I did not notice any other colored lights. I simply thought that these were stars, until they all went out.

Me and my 2 kids seen a huge black colored, triangular object about 80-100ft in the air. It had two red lights at the tip, two very bright white lights at the corners and yellowish lights along bottom. It moved slow and was silent. It came straight at us then shifted or rotated sideways and was gone. Tried to get picture on my cell phone, but image kept blurring, didn't turn out well.

Saw triangle craft hovering and then slowly moved north. orangish, red and blue lights pulsing... no noise. I ran in my house to get a camera, but it disappeared by the time I got outside. It was not an airplane, however the week before several military helicopters were flying over about the same time of night. You could hear and see that they were helicopters. I have no idea what this was.

Dallas, TX
This is the second of two consecutive reports about my sightings of December 11, 2013 and June 13, 2014, at age 73 and 74, respectively. I observed my first and only two UFOs ever. Both of these sightings occurred within a 6-month period from the same general location. Since these objects appeared to be about the same size and shape, I have the impression that both sightings might have been of the same craft; however, I have no other proof of this assumption. These are given in chronological order, and the first sighting in 2013 was vague, distant and impersonal – I did not file a report on it then, nor even mention it to anyone, including my wife. By contrast, the second encounter in 2014 was a life-changing event – it was shocking to be shown that we humans are not the only intelligent beings here. My second, very much unexpected and extremely more vivid sighting occurred six months later at 11:00 pm on Friday night, June 13, 2014, near Hexter Elementary School. I had walked to Gold’s Gym at Northcliff & Buckner at 9:30 pm and had left at 10:50 pm. It was a beautiful night, comfortably warm, the sky was clear with a full moon and no wind, and there was not the usual city noise. Nobody else was seen outside and there was no automobile traffic in the neighborhood. I was walking alone in the middle of the street in the full moonlight. As I was traveling roundabout back to my house, a lighted craft suddenly appeared high over me at Northlake near Peavy. I was rounding a curve heading generally northward and the lights cleared above the 30-foot trees to my right, or east side. This occurred within the usual flight path of airplanes originating from south Texas and landing at Love Field; however, at this time most scheduled Southwest Airline flights had finished for the night – which seemed to be a very important factor in the presence of this thing. Before 10:00 pm, mostly 737s and some corporate jets fly over here at about 8,000-feet or 1.5-mile altitude, heading north to cross I-635 where they will make a left, west to south U-turn and land at Love Field. Now, there were not any planes in the sky anywhere. Subconsciously, I assumed the lights were an airplane, but the object actually stopped directly above me as I was walking alone in the middle of the street. I instantly looked up and felt that it had be! en watching me on the roadway in the full moonlight – I was the only rabbit alone on the road. The craft appeared to be positioned almost 1-mile straight up – maybe 1 or 2-degrees eastward – with the apparent size of a large corporate jet; it seemed to be slightly smaller than a 737. Although it is difficult to estimate size and height at night, I am reasonably sure that it was not over 1-mile, nor under 1/2-mile. (I have since studied airplanes flying directly overhead to confirm this perceived altitude and size.) -See illustration of UFO provided - It had extremely bright lights of pure colors, the brightest I have ever seen and the most beautiful red and green. There was no softness to the lights, only a sharp piercing glare. The object had a strange jerky aspect unlike any aircraft. No Federal Aviation Administration navigation lights were apparent – specifically, green on the starboard, red on the port, flashing strobes on the wingtips, with fore and aft white lights as required below 10,000 feet altitude. Its lights were arranged in a nonsensical pattern as in my diagram above, with the red lights blinking on and off every 2-seconds – this appeared to be the front, as the craft moved. All of the red lights pulsed together; there was no 1-2-3 sequence. The green lights shined steady, did not blink and appeared to be the sides. Each red and green row was composed of about 10 individual pinpoint lights, all like bulbs with equal intensity. No other lights, colors or emanations could be seen. My sketch diagrams the bel! ly of the craft as seen from below. The body was not visible as a silhouette against the sky because of the bright lights; however, I am certain that there was a rigid structure because the lights maintained their relative position at all times. If I were to guess, I would say the object was rather triangular because of the arrangement of the lights, but I cannot be sure of this. It had a clear-cut, garish carnival midway appearance – there was no vagueness at all. My initial and vivid impression was as if a Texas State Fairground contraption, such as a Ferris wheel, with its colorful, blinking lights, had been placed 1-mile overhead in the night sky to float around – it was totally out of place and illogical. I instantly realized that this was not an airplane, so I quickly stepped under a front yard tree to my right or east side on Northlake, to hide from its view. My actions were largely reflexive and fear-responsive, so I probably was only visible to the craft for a few! seconds. Immediately after I hid, the object seemed to have lost me, because it began to go back and forth, do figure-8s, hover and rock as I watched from between the leaves. Imagine that you are standing on the bottom of a lake watching the bottom of a big motorboat circling above you on the surface; similarly, seen by me from below, the circling craft acted as though it was floating on a flat horizontal surface. The effect was like looking up at the bottom of a large launch that was being driven around on a choppy lake surface; perhaps the medium or force upon which the craft rode – or it created – was wavy. The craft stayed contained within an imaginary circle of about 1/4-mile diameter eastward of me as it apparently searched; it never strayed to the west side of me. Of course, its actions were faster than a motorboat as it maneuvered around searching the bottom below. When it stopped, it seemed to rock like a boat, as though floating on waves. The craft appeared to be driven or controlled by a coxswain who was methodically searching the bottom below, making its movements selective, erratic and chaotic as it went back and forth, repeatedly, stopping and going. The object emitted a very faint but perceptible whirring sound from high up, similar to an electric motor brush. This sound had that same distant overhead audio quality as some hot air balloons, ultra-lights and blimps that I have heard from the ground while they were high above me; I have heard voices, burners and motors from these. With this UFO, I had both eyed and eared confirmation of an actual materially structured mechanical craft and of its apparent vertical distance above. Furthermore, the tone or pitch of the electrical motor sound seemed to change throughout its movements overhead, as though accommodating various mechanical requirements. Throughout all of this, I was busily playing devil’s advocate – “Could this be an electrically powered human-fabricated aircraft?” Suddenly, I realized that if whatever was controlling this thing had infrared vision that I had better get behind the wooden tree limbs, which I promptly did. For whatever reason, the object appeared to be searching for ground-based subject matter, so I remained cowing against the tree trunk and became a certified tree-hugger. To add to my problems, the front yard’s motion detector light turned on. This weirdness went on for the longest three minutes, my anxiety level was rising and I began to wonder how it would all play out. Suddenly, without any warning, the object instantly streaked nose-first at a downward angle, around 45-degrees, east-northeast toward the Lochwood Park area. It went from hovering almost directly overhead, down to the horizon, traveling over a 1-mile distance, at one constant and terrific speed. There was no observable acceleration against inertia or deceleration against momentum. I have watched high-performance jets stall out several miles above and then rev up to flight speed – this takes several seconds. My UFO did this instantly! When its lights disappea

Quickly, I went outside to check if it was a train or a plane but this was louder. Directly above, nothing could be seen until for a brief 5 seconds, 3 white lights flashed, almost fluctuating. They were arranged in a perfect equilateral triangle, moving at a very slow pace. This craft seemed to be cloaked by some light optics camouflauge or something military in nature. I was both amazed and terrified at once. My ears rang, like acoustical dissonance between two destructive frequencues. I got dizzy at went inside. A teacher said he saw a triangle floating above Dierbergs late at night. My sighting was blinking and fuzzy. I have one mutual witness of a similar sighting, my teacher. This is the second time it's happened. It's always very early in the AM. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I spotted 3 UFO with a triangular shape right from my fire escape. I reside in a building closed to Yonkers hills and have a perfect view of the Hudson River and the horizon. The objects had 3 bright orbs on each end of the triangle sides. I also noticed that it had like a cross shape light on the bottom of the object. Then two additional UFO appeared and floated for about 5 min. After that, lost track of time and slowly vanished in thin air. I have video of the event, since is dark you can only see the red lights moving and vanishing.

Huntley, IL
As me and a buddy were driving home we both noticed a bright circular shape in the sky, lower than a satellite but slower than a plane. It looked like it was on fire almost like a fireball floating. The first fireball went across the entire sky and then faded away. Then just before driving off we noticed another fire ball even lower and brighter. Same speed, but this one went across the sky, the lights flickered, and then immediately went black. When that happened we both could still clearly see the figure, it was black, and triangle looking, and oddly enough it began to descend. We could tell because the figure started to look bigger and bigger. After a minute or so it vanished. Very weird experience, and we are still unsure of exactly what it was.

My wife and I were sitting on the beach about 10:30 in North Myrtle Beach. I heard my wife say, "What the hell is that?" She said she saw three orange lights in the shape of a triangle out over the ocean. I then saw one orange light. A few minutes passed and the lights showed up again in front of us. This time in a straight line pattern. They would disappear as soon as we tried to take a picture. They randomly showed up several times over the next half hour in different patterns and would fade away as quickly as they came. Finally we saw the orange lights disappear and turn to fast blinking lights in three separate entities. These three entities appeared to have lights blinking in a circular pattern and appeared to be heading inland until they disappeared.

The two craft were close together hovering around slowly. As we passed them, our view was covered up by the hills so we only observed them for a few seconds. Turned around as quickly as we could find an exit and went back but they were gone. One person in our car observed part of a 3rd craft before the rest of us saw the other two. I could detect one non-smooth side on the crafts, lines like construction seams. This happened between 10 and 10:30 pm. So far, I haven't read any other similar descriptions in other observations.

Same sighting as reported 6/9/2014 except the object was further away. Single object in the eastern horizon with a very bright white light or a series of very bright white lights with a dark angular or triangular outline. Object was stationary. I did notice a circular aura around the object.

Kettering, OH
What appeared to be burning/glowing triangles flew above Kettering tonight for approximately 40 minutes. I spotted them at midnight. Heading up from the south they gained speed and altitude before heading west. At first I thought it was possibly Chinese lanterns, but they were flying in a pattern, some were larger and some were smaller. They also traveled at different rates of speed. No sound whatsoever. Have video. Strangest thing I have ever seen. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she sounded to us to be quite serious-minded. She assures us that the report is both sincere, and accurate. She captured video. She found video on YouTube from other witnesses, under the title, "Strange Lights over Kettering, Ohio." PD

It was dusk and looking towards the southwest there were three black dots in a triangle hovering. They were about the size of a star and very distant. They were not moving. They were very hard to see but were there. Impossible to catch on camera. All of sudden a fourth one came in. It was to the right of the three in the triangle. Slowly the fourth one disappeared. Then two from the triangle disappeared. Then the last one disappeared suddenly. They never returned.
