Columbus, GA
I was in an industrial area of a large Southern city that boarders a very large military base. Around 14:30 I was standing in a large lot looking up at the completely clear sky. Almost immediately I saw two groups of 4 each objects approximately 500-700 feet in the sky moving in two formations of 4 each on "Y" shadows with the bottom of the "Y" being the lead in each group. The objects were very shiny and each had a prominent white, thick, round, white circle within each object. Both groups were moving East to West. At first, I thought they might be balloons, mini-helicopters or drones. But each group would move in formation and then suddenly completely stop, then shoot up, down, backwards and then race forward at amazingly speed. Then at one point, both groups shot up until they could no longer be seen. During these "maneuvers " several times one object in each formation would break away

Lake Elmo-Oakdale, MN
While attending a small yard campfire, I sighted a perfect circle of blue-green/teal colored light. It resembled a fluorescent ring light fixture on a straight south-north path parallel, but just east of I-694. From my perspective, its altitude was 800 to 1200 feet, appearing to be the size of a 14 to 16 inch pizza pan in vertical position. As a former Navy pilot, I would estimate its speed equivalent to that of aircraft on approach to Holman Airport in St. Paul, just prior to entering the landing pattern. Earlier in the day, I observed a twin engine aircraft traveling in the opposite direction on a S/W course toward the metro area. The UFO I sighted appeared to be at a similar altitude and speed, and it never deviated its course, remaining in sight approximately 30 seconds. The skies were totally clear. I have never sighted anything like this before. I find it difficult to believe it was a drone, based on my current understanding of their development & application. Are there similar sighting reported in this area at around 10:30 PM?

NUFORC received several other reports about what we presume was the same object. Several witnesses emphasized that the object did not look like a meteor, although we suspect the event was caused by a classic meteor. Video footage of the event is posted to the American Meteor Society website. PD

Houston, TX
At 4:30am this morning, Oct 2, 2016, in Houston, TX, all cable signal was lost in the house which has never happened. Soon after cable signal was lost, so was all the power on the block (walked outside). After walking outside to inspect outage, in a clear sky we spotted an aqua green, translucent object moving slowly from a round to oval shape (looked, compared to a jellyfish without tentacles and size as to holding a quarter at arm's width away from face), traveling at un-constant rate of speed and direction, without making a sound. We watched for 30-45 seconds then made a hard left and shot quickly out of sight. Minutes after witnessing this and discussing with others that saw it, seemed to be military helicopter moving at a high rate of speed in the same direction as the strange light. After object was out of sight all power and signal returned to normal. From being in shock we didn’t get any pictures or footage. There were four others than me that witnessed this sighting. Interested in finding out if anyone in the area seen the same or anything comparable to what we saw.

At 8:10 p.m., October 1, 2016, my husband was using the restroom and while looking out of the window, he saw an orange glow. It was then that he called me in there and I witnessed the same thing. After it flew over our house, another one immediately appeared and as that one flew over head a third one appeared, again flying over our house. They all took the same route and no more appeared!

Sorry im just reporting this 4 months later it's just so shocking im a bug fan of ufo so I know what we saw was legit no doubt about it. So me and my girl friend was riding down Tennessee street I think north or south one of the two and I was like baby look at that over there she looked her mouth just dropped. Im not sure if anyone else saw it because we wasn't the only ones on the road but we saw a circle like craft just hovering in mid air it looked clear or white something like that almost if it was about to land on the tower tree looking thingy which is impossible to do, it was moving at about 1mph yesss that slow. Next thing you know we pass by a small tree that literally a small tree we passed by it in light seconds because realize we are in a car it doesn't take that long to pass a tree. we looked back up to see it again.it was gone just that fast . I even turned my car around in mid traffic to try to locate what we just seen we never saw it again. I ! will tell anybody what I saw. WE KNOW WHAT WE SAW WASN'T A NORMAL SPACE CRAFT. I WAS SO SMALL IT WOULD BE INPOSSIBLE FOR A HUMAN TO FIT IN. WELL THAT'S WHAT IT SEEM LIKE

I was driving down Black Road towards Trunk Road when I saw a bright orange circle fly very quickly from my left (east) to my right (west). It was to quick for a plane and to bright. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Idyllwild, CA
The object I observed at 11:45 am on 9/29/16 was a black dot. It was moving North to South (possiblly SE) on a sunny day with high 'puffy' clouds. I noticed it before it went behind some clouds, approxiatematly for 3-5 seconds. It was on a straight trajectory moving fast (about 2-3 times as fast as a satellite may appear at night). It left no contrail or any noticable trail of any kind. After it went behind the clouds, I could not locate it again. Idyllwild is a mile above sea level, the local peak (which was in the back ground) is about 9k feet and I would approximate the height of the UFO was 12-13 thousand feet. I am 44 years old and grew up here in Ca. I grew up between many airports and have seen airplanes (and military planes) in the sky all my life, this was not an airplane. The trajectory of this object was not of any flight path that I have seen living here over the past eight years. This is the first time I have ever seen a UFO.

Centennial, CO
On Tuesday, September 27, at around 5:15 pm in the evening, I stepped out into my backyard, facing west, and as I walked into the yard, I perceived what appeared to be a small white dot moving across the sky, northeast to southwest. It traveled in silently in a straight line, making steady progress but not in any particular hurry. Then it stopped and just hovered. I called to my husband to come out. It was still broad daylight at this time and the sky was clear. As the object hovered there, it appeared to be bouncing or pulsing. It seemed to periodically flash a reflective silver appearance, like it was flipping over or something. It was hard to tell if the shape was actually circular or spherical – or more elongated, although when I first saw it, it appeared as a circle. It was very far up, it seemed, I don’t know how to judge the distance but it appeared higher than most planes that we usually see in that area. It was so high that pictures my husband tried to take with his really good camera don’t really show anything other than a long, more cigar-shaped flash of light, which is not how it looked to our naked eyes. As it hovered, there were times when it seemed to disappear, then reappear. It hung for several minutes, then moved upward and out of sight. It feels like our ability to truly perceive even the basics, such as the shape, distance and behavior, of this object was limited.

Hollywood, FL
On front porch having my coffee and a smoke, my son came out to leave for work. I looked up and saw a bright white light. Thought it was a star or a planet. Then it started moving. When it made a large and very rapid U-turn, I knew it was not a plane. I was saying oh my goodness - repeatedly. My son came to me and he saw the object traveling at high speed and making additional large rapid U-turns. I ran inside to get my camera. When I returned, he said it turned from a bright white to red and then disappeared. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I was trying to keep track on them with the nvg goggles heading east to west within one minute. The flying objects were side-by-side to each other doing different types of formations. At one point I noticed that the flying objects were in a square form shape and breaking up from each other and going back to each other very fast. I tried to see them without the nvg goggles and I was unable to locate them with my eyes. I use the nvg goggles again and saw them again disappear further and further away from me heading west.
