Standing on the driveway, looking up at the stars, I noticed what we thought to be a satellite. Tracking it moving Southeast across the sky, moving significantly faster than typical satellites observed in the past. Suddenly it turned around, faster than any plane could have, and headed the other direction across the sky disappearing into the horizon line.

My girlfriend and I were sitting at a Ted light at a busy intersection and while looking around I seen 3 green circle lights in the sky hovering there moving all together like a fleet and then by the time the light turned from red the 3 circles darted off towards the city.

Montana City, MT
At 8:00 pm under full sun, a friend and I had just returned to our pickup, and happened to hear a plane overhead. When we looked up, we noticed the plane, but also noticed a silvery round object that appeared to be stationary. We watched the object for nearly an hour, with a fair wind, clouds passed under it and three aircraft flew passed it, but it didn't move. Somehow it was geosynchronous. After exhausting our SkyView and GoogleSky apps we determined it wasn't something that showed up on either. We drove north about four miles to a friend's house and borrowed their spotting scope. The object was still in full view; under a 45X view the object appeared shimmering silver and almost translucent, a spiral pattern of ribs was clearly visible on the bottom of the object. One individual reported clearly seeing blinking lights in fixed position on the lower portion of the object. Five of us watched the object through the scope until about 10:00pm when it started to! fade with the dimming light. The individual looking at the object at the time reported that, while he had a clear view of it, it vanished right before his eyes. We watched the sky further, as stars began to finally peak out, but where unable to relocate the object.

UFO was seen near the big dipper. it would flash very bright about every 15 seconds like a camera flash. It was not an Iridium flare, we see those all the time. Because it was doing a zigzag pattern and then it went straight east. It was first seen coming from the north.

I was on the phone with a friend and I told them what I saw. Maybe a minute later I saw something moving at a decent speed moving towards the front of my house. I first noticed it right above where I saw the "shooting star". This object looked simular to a medium sized star. It wasn't big and bright. The light was solid and there was nothing blinking. I ran to the front of my house to keep an eye. Lost of for a few minutes and spotted it again. It seemed to have changed directions. It seemed to be very high in the sky. Higher than any airplane. Then I noticed it looked like it was going up higher. I eventually lost it. To quick some the description up, small white ball of light coasting through the sky. Did not seem to have a direct path as would an airplane. Traveling west and seemed to be going up after ithe reached a certain point. When I noticed it, I was on the phone with my boyfriend, and he told me to call the UFO hot line. Can't say for sure if it was a UFO, but definitely was not an airplane. We spoke with the female witness, who submitted the report, and she corrected the date, which had not been indicated in the original report. She seemed to be very polite and bright-minded, which makes us believe that the report is sincere. PD

This photo was taken by me at 10:16 p.m., June 23, 2016, in the backyard of my next-door neighbor. We were enjoying dinner on her patio and using a star gazing app on my phone to identify stars and planets. Below is a description I wrote down shortly after the event to preserve the details. The first object traveled from the southeast toward my neighbor's house, in a northwesterly direction. The light on the right appeared first. I noticed it because i first thought it was a star. When it moved I thought it was a plane. It was some distance away (mile or more, so distant it looked like a small dot). It started coming toward us. I looked at it a couple of times and continued to notice it coming in our direction, still thinking it was just a plane. I looked away again, but then a few minutes later, it was close to the roof line of the house at the end of the street (four houses away) and it didn't move any closer. It just hovered. The light got much brighter. My neighbor's 9-year-old grand daughter was with me and said she saw it changing colors. Then I checked my flight radar app and saw there were no planes in the area. When I looked up again, there was a second one (one on the left) but it was much dimmer than the one on the right. They were spaced slightly further apart but then the dimmer one approached the larger one. I snapped this photo just as they became about the same brightness. They continued to hover there, the one on the left occasionally going behind the roof line of the house. Altogether it was just a few minutes. Then I looked away to say goodbye to one of my neighbors. I helped my other neighbor, whose house I was at, clean up our dinner plates. We went inside her house. I didn't say anything to her about the lights because I knew she would be frightened by them. When I went outside again a few minutes later and looked up, they were gone. I wish I could have continued watching, but I didn't get to see where they went or how quickly they left. Please note that I live within 30 minutes of Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, but as stated above, my radar app showed no planes in the immediate area, and the objects were too close to the roof line to have been planes. They also traveled too great a distance to have been recreational drones, as I believe they would not have been within eye sight of any operator. They made no sound. Only my neighbor's grand daughter and I saw them.

While going outside to the backyard at 10pm., to close the pool gate, I looked up as usual to see stars on a clear night's sky. Directly above, was one round red glowing ball, just below the cloud range, easily seen. It moved closer, and I went back in a few steps to get my Nikon camera by the door. I then went outside again quickly, and was able to get 3 photos of it still there. The 1st 2 photos were about the same; but the third photo taken as it QUICKLY went deeper into the night sky. Only in the third photo, did I see any change in shape, from a circle. Third photo, it was a small triangle with an "arm" light streak. There were no other air crafts in the sky. There was no sound to the object, and it is very quiet in this area.

I and my husband saw what we first thought was an airplane flying high in the sky, but moving at a very fast rate across the sky south to north and the just disappear a moment later we noticed a bright star that just blinked out like turning off a light it was very unusual since it's a clear night and u can see stars far to the south and north the a few minutes later we could see three plane in the sky with flashing light approximately the same height as the object we thought was a plane but the planes took about four minutes to cross the sky and the other object took less than a minute I'm not sure what we say but I'm positive it was not a plane nor a helicopter since the helicopter around here tend to head east toward the hospital and not as fast as this thing we saw as for the other object we waited for 15 minutes for it to show back up as if it might had been some cloud cover but as I said before we could see all star around it and north of it perfectly a! nd it never rd showed back up nor did any of the other stars disappear I was unusually enough I felt compelled to repot the sighting

Is someone releasing very large donut shaped balloons that fly very high? The whole family was just outside playing ball and riding bikes on street out in front of our house and we saw this thing floating through the sky very high up. It looked just like the one in the article I linked below. It was very high and very large as several commercial jets flew by as well and it ended up going into the same clouds so we could make a decent comparison. It didn't make any abrupt moves other than to come to a dead stop and then proceed a couple times. We watched it for about 5 minutes before I lost it in the clouds. My guess is someone released a very big circular donut shaped balloon... but if so I'd think that could be dangerous to air traffic flying so high up. http://www.ufosightingsdaily.com/2012/03/donut-shaped-ufo-seen-over-new-york.html

Single round red object was seen hovering in the eastern sky at an estimated 4 miles away. Hovered and darted vertical up and down at high rate of speed unmatched by any known aircraft. Moved South in a horizontal path appearing to descend along horizon. Went behind a tree and did not reappear from the other side.

My wife and I were just returning home in her convertible, with the top down, sitting in the driveway. We were commenting on the beautiful day and amazingly clear sky when we noticed a plane fly by that was unusually bright - normal flight path, shape and size but it was brilliantly lit as if reflecting the sun, As soon as the plane passed, however, we both noticed a semi-transparent circular white-ish shape following in approximately the same direction. It seemed to blink (disappear altogether) off and on a few times and was traveling at an unusually slow pace; our guess is that it was traveling about 25% the speed of the plane. It's pace was determined and it did not float. Neither of us have ever seen anything quite like it. There was a clear sense that it was mechanized or moving by its own power. We've looked at quite a few examples of iridium flares and they are not the same. This shape was bigger and more transparent. No tail followed its movement and it traveled in a close-to-horizontal route. As above, it was a crystal clear day and very sunny. We watched the shape until it passed behind some tall trees,

Atlanta, GA
Sunday, June 19th – approximately 245am Location of sighting: Midtown, Atlanta, GA, (30308) My wife and I were (sitting) on our front deck. Second floor front deck. In the midst of a conversation we were having about her work department (a rather important natured dialogue), my wife said to me, “Babe- oh my god-babe.. look” (verbatim). She stood and pointed directly past me – west, north west – I got up and turned toward the direction she was pointing at – the direction toward the sky. I turned and looked and saw SEVEN (I eventually counted) rotating lights in the sky- I (we) immediately thought they were Hollywood style sky spotlights – the ones you would see in the sky for a premier of a show, a movie. But they were not: too late in the morning –way too late. We continued to watch these “light-spheres” and could only make them out –with the eye –when they passed through the moving puffy clouds. Meaning that they only made themselves apparent when passing through the clouds. When they didn’t pass through the clouds there was ZERO trace of them. They passed through the clouds in incredibly bizarre formations-they bounced off one another–we watched for 20 minutes (approx.) until the clouds passed. It was simply surreal.

On the evening of June 18th, at approximately 9:09 pm, I witnessed 6 circular objects in the sky. These objects seemed to be floating around in a cluster. They appeared as a solid dark color. These objects stayed in a realitively close cluster the whole time visible. I observed the objects in the north western sky for roughly 4 minutes, until they complexity vanished. They did not go over a hill or disappear on the horizon, the objects simply went from being in view, to not being there.

We were on our balcony looking East, when the UFO appeared. At first it looked a bit like a helicopter from the fron, but as it slowly turned South, we saw basically a round shape with 4 lights. It moved slowly (like a helicopter, too slow for a plane). I run to the roof deck of our high rise building and watched it there for about 15 minutes. It kept rising and did a slow arc Westbound over the city and across O'Hare airspace. I'm guessing at the end it was maybe 15km high and barely visible as it was just a dot until it disappeared into the clouds. This was not a plane, nor a helicopter nor a balloon. If anything it looked more like a drone but a giant one (the size of an airliner). Since it went straight through ORD airspace it must have been tracked by some radar. Its color was black.

Noticed a round craft moving slowly west to east fully exposed. Resembled two pie plates, when it dipped to the side you could see the full circle it was very bright, almost a flash. Unsure if it was a light or a very bright reflection. Very visible with my polarized sunglasses, very difficult to see without. At times it would hover, mostly it moved slowly - there was no sound at all. Moved up a draw between two mountains and disappeared behind trees.
