My finace and I went out to smoke a last cigarette for the night on our front porch. While finishing up I looked up and saw a huge white glowing semi transparent rounded triangle fly at above tree level. The object was below planes' levels as there were two up high in the sky at the time I noticed. I jumped up and tried to convince my fiance to look up. He refused and told me that I looked nuts! I saw another smaller looking traingle follow after the object and was proceded by two orange/red smaller objects. At this time my fiance saw the last one and made me go inside. The first one was incredibly fast and the others were slower. This is the first time i have ever saw or reported anything like this. I reported this only because I googled this and found out that everyone else saw it too! All I can say is, "What the hell is going on?"

The first one we saw was glowing bluish green and it started moving straight and wobbling in an "S" pattern. Shortly after I went to the store me and my boyfriend were joking about seeing something. As we got home he started running inside and so did I joking around and as he looked back he said baby look what's that?! And that's when we both turned and saw three glowing orange craft objects. That's when we actually flew inside, falling over each other trying to get into the door. My boyfriend and I were beyond frantic and we had to get my mom to see what was outside.... As we went outside we noticed there was nothing in the sky anymore. Within a few minutes, from the horizon came one of the orange crafts this was one of eight. The first four went into what looked like a spade formation then while In this formation one craft was glowing brighter than the rest and slowly dimmed in place and disappeared very quickly then from there more crafts appeared from the horizon then dissapeared even quicker.

Object was hovering in a large circle moderately fast, disappearing and reappearing. Video, taken by witness, seems to indicate a stationary, blue object in the night sky. However, image of the object is very small, faint, and blurry. PD

Every night Me and my co-worker eat lunch together outside. Being a amateur astronomy I always do a scan of the sky it was a clear beautiful clear sky. I quickly noticed almost straight up a light moving at about 3x the speed of a passenger plane at I guess cruising altitude. I would say similar to when you see them with contrails. Object description - 3 Points of light possibly a triangle or round. No Sound. To high to see any details other than the lights. It was very surreal. How could something move so fast? It looked so unnatural. We followed it as much as we could until it made a half circle turn! SO Weird. After the half turn it went past the roof of our company and could no longer follow it. Direction traveled was West to East and than turned North. This was my first sighting of a UFO, as was my friends who was left mystified. ((name deleted))

At approximately 23:00 on June 1, 2014, I exited my girlfriend’s vehicle while she pulled the vehicle into the garage. I immediately saw a triangle shaped bay of solid non-pulsating non-flashing red lights. The object appeared to be triangular in shape but was not well illuminated. The object appeared to be 500 to 1000 feet over the end of her street (approximately 100 yds. south of my position). It was slowly moving towards my position. There was no noise, no odor, no sensation of heat or any other perception other than the visual. I called for her to hurry and come out of the garage. This took her approximately 45 sec. to 1 min. During that period of time the object pivoted 120 degrees towards the southeast and up-angled at about 60 degrees. It silently accelerated away in that direction. My girl friend came out of the garage and videoed a point of red light moving away. She only saw the object once it was so distant that the three lights could only be distinguished as one. We watched the object disappear up and away from us. The whole incident took 3 to 5 min. I ask her neighbor and friend, who is a state police officer, if this was perhaps a drug plane using infrared. He stated they do use infrared but it is not visible. Meigs County across the river is infamous for growing marijuana. I have since been told that several other people in the neighboring town of Hartford saw something similar but I don't know their names. The Mason County airport is about 15 miles south of where this occurred in Point Pleasant, WV.

At which time it rotated its position to its right and I could see its form better and it kinda tilted downward pointing its light angled at the houses appearing to scan or scout the neighborhood. It was triangular in shape kinda difficult to explain. The best was I can explain it, tho it may sound rediculous, is it looked "transformerish" no wings or propellers at all. It was completely silent. Maybe a govt machine or something idk it was prob 15ft wide by 20ft tall. 80ft off the! ground. Never seen anything like it befote. Wondering if anyone else seen this or similar...

There were white blinking lights that seemed to be blinking in a triangle shape over the pond behind the house two of the lights were constantly blinking and the other 2 lights were unvisual to the naked eye but after watching my video of it you can see the other lights faintly blinking I only saw one object the lights were a white yellow color and everything else in the sky was black the blinks from the light were very bright.

I saw the first object, traveling northeast to southwest straight from my house front door. It was 5 lights in the shape of a triangle, or from the angle I saw it the shape looked like a "backwards" checkmark. The 5 lights changed from a very bright (soft) white color to all 5 turning red with no dimming in between. It was either white or red. The lights pulsed all at the same time between white and red. The object flew in a direction I haven't seen flown by aircraft in my area. The object moved very slowly and made no sound. After a minute or so it disappeared behind trees. Within a minute of the object disappearing I saw the second object. I saw it exactly in the sky where I first saw the first object. The pulsing lights, colors, apparent height, and speed were to me exactly the same as the first object. It stayed in my view the same amount of time as the first object, and disappeared over the same area in the trees as the first. Later when I was! thinking about this I came up with the idea (possibly) this was actually one object and I saw lights on the front and backside. Unfortunately, I don't remember seeing the stars in between the lights being blotted out. I wasn't even looking for that at the time because I assumed it was two separate objects, especially since it would have been a massive size. FYI, I am an amateur astronomer for about 20 years and have fairly good observation skills. The things that strike me about this is the number of lights and their colors, how the lights blinked in unison with no dimming in between, the slow speed, no sound, a different flight path from normal over my area, the fact the second object (had they both been airplanes) would have been flying in the "air wake" of the first, which I think airplanes avoid.

Gardnerville, NV
As my wife and I exited our vehicle at our residence in Gardnerville, Nevada, my wife told me there was something strange in the sky. I looked up in a southerly direction and observed three lights, green in color, in a triangular formation. All the lights would go out, then the one (front) light would flash, then the two other lights would flash, then all the lights would appear to oscillate then go off with no apparent pattern. This object appeared to be motionless and in a stationary position. After ten to fifteen minutes, the object faded from view.

Started as one bright orange light that caught my eye from the 19th floor of a hotel balcony. It was over the ocean then suddenly 4 lights around it making it a square shape with a light in the center then it suddenly started sequencing as if it had reproduced itself into 5-6 identical shapes all objects still lite up and they went in a straight line out going towards the shore into 5-6 identical shapes. I called for my husband to wake up, and as he got to the balcony the lights all went out...about 10 seconds later three similar shapes appeared briefly (he saw) and then lights out again! Crazy sighting-glad he saw it too! Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

We saw a lot of strange activity in Clayton, NC, USA during the meteor shower last night/this morning. We first saw 3 "stars" moving in formation across the sky from north to south, stopped and started to rotate and change the shape of the triangle. We had already noted what we thought were satellites that you would normally see, but after an hour we realized we had seen over 100 "satellites" and most were moving in unison with at least one more off in the distance and converging somewhere beyond the horizon. Other "stars" or "satellites" would appear, begin to move, stop and disappear from vision. Others would line up within the triangle we first saw and then either disappear or begin to move out of the formation. We also noticed what we first thought was a bright star over the horizon, but after it not moving for 3 hours we watched it closer and it, too, was dancing around in a somewhat static location. The craziest thing I have ever witnessed. I think we watched all this from 2:45am EST to 5:30am (EDT). We noticed what seemed to be military aircraft occasionally flying directly below the triangle formation on 3 occasions. We also noticed what may have been the ISS pass directly below it around 3:30 a.m. EDT. although I have not checked to see where it was at that time.

At approximately 11:30 p.m. while stargazing for the Camelopardalid meteor shower, I noticed a light moving into my line of sight. The UFO was moving NNW to SE at a steady pace. I would not necessarily have thought UFO, but several things struck me as odd: Firstly the size. The UFO appeared to be HUGE. I have no standard of comparison for something in the sky, however, this was much bigger than any plane or helicopter that I've seen in my experience. The only other conclusion I could come to is that it was flying low, but even still that wouldn't explain the sound, the hushed blowing sound that accompanied it. There was barely any sound to it, like when you run a clothes dryer with a load of towels. (Sorry, just using things I can compare it to here!) I looked up videos of B2s at night and flight shows just in case I may have seen one of those for some reason and the lighting doesn't resemble what the videos show, although the shape is similar. As for lights, there were 4, 2 on each wing tip, 1 white, 1 red. Unfortunately, I had a camera set up facing north for the meteor shower, and had my phone on my person at the time - once I saw the object I stood transfixed. I felt unable to move or even think. I'm not sure if I was just startled by the size of the UFO or what.

Three orange orbs, linked together to form a triangle, flew overhead from approximately NW to SE very fast! There was no sound and the object traveled in a relatively straight path without stopping. It flew at several times the speed of normal aircraft. We are camping at North Bend Park, an Army Corps of Engineers park located on a large lake at the border of VA and NC. Other normal aircraft could be seen in the sky at higher elevations throughout the sky, but this object was nothing like a plain. It also did not have any flashing lights as you expect to see on a plane.

I was on the back patio grilling dinner around 19:30 on Friday 23 May 14. Being a pilot by trade, I notice in the east northeast sky a set of 3 red lights formed in a triangle. The formation looked perfect flying, equal spacing. The formation was moving in a northern direction slowly and without any noise. Only red lights and not aircraft position lights (red on left, green on right, white on rear) Eventfully flew away and faded into the night sky, not fast moving!

I and my wife were on our back deck to observe a meteor shower. While looking up, a triangular shape group of approximately 20 intensely bright oval lights appeared heading east to west at a rapid speed at about a 100 foot height. As we got to our feet for further observation, the lights vanished. The object at its widest point was about 75 feet and 75 feet long. The lights were spaced evenly throughout the entire object, not just along the perimeter.

Succession of triangle shaped crafts, bright white light with red flashing lights, flying low in sky and made no sound. Each craft flying about a half a mile apart in southwest direction. Would see a bright flash of light over the treeline then a craft would appear. Happened in rural part of lauderdale county about 1/2 from Chickasaw Wildlife Refuge.

UFO Sighting May 22, 2014. California State Route HWY 152 East bound to I-5 South bound at Coalinga Road Conditions Clear/ Traffic Moderate / Temperature 65 to 70 degrees F. / Windy At approximately 9:00pm to 9:20pm, while travelling east bound from San Francisco on California State Hwy 152 towards Interstate 5, my daughter sitting in the front passenger seat of our vehicle asked if I could see an object in the sky. I was sitting in the rear driver's side of our vehicle but looked out the drivers side window and did see a huge, very brightly lit object. It was not a linear shape as I expected to see, but an oblique yet rounded object of massive size with blinding lights. My husband could not look at the object very long as he was driving, and the lights were so bright, dangerously so. My daughter clearly saw the object and was becoming somewhat excited by it's unique, unexplainable nature. I only had a few seconds of vision before it (or we) moved beyond my line of vision. My daughter in the front passenger seat continued to track the object for several minutes through the front windshield until we moved beyond it and her line of vision was also lost. Upon coming to the I-5 interstate (approx. 20 minutes later) we took the south bound exit and continued traveling towards Los Angeles. After a few minutes my daughter once again asked if we saw an object in the sky. Initially my vision was again obstructed. I could not see out of her passenger side window so instead I started looking out my rear side window. Off in the distance I could see bright flashes of light and a thick cloud mass. The flashes of light were not streaks of lightening but the kind that is more horizontal and widespread. There was a noticeable tingle in the air and the heavy cloud mass looked like it was rolling. I asked my daughter if she could see the light flashes and clouds and she said yes, then suddenly I looked towards the front the the windshield and could clearly see a triangular object flying low towards the passenger side of the vehicle. The object was moving very fast and changing directions and stopping in short spurts. There were bright red and white lights pulsating from the craft. It was not only triangular in shape but the craft moved in ways I had no explanation for. From side to side with no arching and up and down with no regard to speed or conventional pattern. My daughter was able to track it once again from the passenger side of the vehicle and she also started to film the object while describing it to me. It now looked as though there were multiple objects flying through the sky, some very high and very fast. This went on for some time and I could now smell and see cattle stockades out of my rear passenger window. The triangular object then flew back across the highway very low and ended up on the drivers side of our vehicle where it stopped near an overpass. We all exclaimed that whatever it was it could cause a wreck flying so low and over the highway with the bright lights on. The lights of this craft were not as bright as the ones on the craft we saw on State Highway 152, but they were certainly bright enough to be a potential hazard and a distraction for drivers. My daughter decided to report the object to the California Highway Patrol which she called on her cell phone. The time was exactly 10:15 pm and we were at the Coalinga exit. She explained what she had seen and was transferred to the correct person by dispatch. She told them what she had seen and of her concerns about the danger to traffic as well as the unsettling, unexplained nature of the craft. Before she could finish she was abruptly told that there was a airstrip nearby and the receiver hung up. This experience has stayed with us and has become a very real, yet unexplainable, part of our lives. We have never felt compelled to document an experience like this before. We have never before called the Highway Patrol or Police from a moving vehicle to report something unexplained. My daughter's video is very dark and it is difficult to clearly see anything but flashes of light. Perhaps someone with better technology can clean up the picture and make out discernible shapes and offer some insight into what we saw and experienced on May 22nd, 2014.

My 22 yr old Nephew and I were standing in his backyard searching for the source of a couple of bangs heard in the yard and as soon as we looked in the direction of the noise we witnessed 6 very large orbs (about the size of a full moon) in the form of two triangles moving silently across the skyline in a single file line, heading towards the ground as if it were making a crash landing. We lost site of the two groups of bright white orbs and assumed that, though they were completely silent, they couldn't have been more than 100 feet away. There was no sound as we braced ourselves for the sound of impact. The lights were very crisp and bright, and we got a perfectly clear view of their movement toward the ground. I was so frightened upon seeing this that I honestly feared for my life at the time and could barely bring myself to stay outside to witness whatever may have come after these objects landed. We often see stationary blinking lights scattered over top of the mountains that surround the area, and after seeing this object we noticed at least 10 of these stationary star-like lights move around the sky toward the strange orbs we just watched, as well as several air planes all headed the same direction. (I realize they may have been headed to an airport and not the orbs we saw but the orbs were most definitely not landing at an airport, as no such air port exists where the orbs headed) I am by no means crazy, nor is my nephew, and seeing these lights changed my life forever as I TOO now have witnessed something truly paranormal and not of this world and I can undeniably say that this was no hoax, and in no way could it have been explained by swamp gas, weather balloons, flares, or airplanes. We ARE near Camp David where there may be government testing but I can't fathom what kind of man made craft could have produced this kind of sighting.

Tonight, 21 May 2014, in San Antonio, Texas, at approximately 10:06 p.m. CST, I was driving northeast bound on Woodstone Dr. towards Vance Jackson Rd, and saw a large black triangle shaped object in the sky. The triangle had 3 orange lights on the underbelly, one close to each corner, but not directly on the corners. The object was very low to the ground, about 20-50 feet above the trees, and was traveling very slowly in a northeast direction; it looked as if it were hovering. My initial thoughts were that it was an aircraft flying extremely low to ground, or 3 separate helicopters, but I did not hear any noise, and as I drove closer realized that it wasn’t either a commercial airliner or 3 helicopters flying in unison. The object was pitch black and I could not see the trees or sky behind/above it. I continued to drive, and as I drove closer, the road curved and after about 10-20 seconds, the object was no longer in view. When I completed the curve in the road, I could no longer see the object. It was just gone.

I was driving PM commute northbound 131, stopped for slow traffic north of 28th St. Looked out driver's window and saw a horizontal, stationary bar of light at 10:00-position, tipped to north, and in tipping became an elongated triangle or wedge-shape, very bright. clear sky & sun behind me off to left. Traffic was then nudging forward, I looked again at the triangle and it slowly faded then disappeared. Never changed position. Size was about thumb-nail at arms length. Object was flat triangle and had no depth or details.

Me and two friend were outside when we spotted a orange light in the sky it was triangle like shape. We were freaking out wondering what it was because it was definitely not a plane! We at first thought it was a satellite but then we seen another and another. They moved at a medium speed two of them disappeared. The other hovered over us and then three little lights came shooting out of super fast. We took pictures of it and what came out was very strange looked just like a UFO!
