Granville, NY
A couple nights ago on the way home at around 9 pm, I saw a bright light coming up along the road. It was exactly like this picture, except much brighter. At first it looked far off, but as I drove, it then looked real close and not to far up in the sky. It was so unusual that I pulled over to get a better look. Then I opened the window to get an even better look. It looked just like in this picture with the rays going in all directions. There were no flashing colored lights like a plane or jet. It must have been pretty bright because the whole area was lit up. What really hit me was the silence, it was dead quiet. No sounds whatsoever. Then I got a bit scared and reached for my phone to take a video or picture. I looked over to pick up the phone off the passenger seat and when I looked back, the light was gone. This area is huge pastures and hay fields. It wasn't anywhere in the sky, like it disappeared. For the next ten miles home, I scoured the sky, nothi! ng. I keep seeing this light in my mind and can't stop thinking about it.

The light kept traveling northeast at incredible speed, it moved straight at first, it then moved in a zig-zag pattern and disappeared from view. I went into the house and told my wife and kids I think I just saw a UFO or the strangest shooting star I have ever seen in my entire life. I then proceeded back outside and looked into the sky. I saw a jet with the blinking lights flying at a high rate of of going towards where I just saw the strange light head. Kind of struck me odd that maybe it wasn't coincident that the jet was heading the same way, that maybe the saw light I saw was seen on radar and a jet was scrambled to check it out. Thank you for reading my report.

Round lake beach, IL
was taking a ride to go and pick up furniture and on my way back driving through round lake beach, IL I seen 3 lights in the sky and they caught my attention and I was looking at the 3 lights in the sky and thinking to myself that’s not an airplane, Airplanes don’t fly that close to each other and the light in the sky weren’t moving in fast pace as a airplane would so I started recording and I seen one by one slowly disappear in the sky/clouds I was very amazed! I thought it was fake at first until I rewatched the video clipping I had got of the 3 lights and I thought to myself that’s NOT airplanes !!

Bricktown, NJ
I was outside facing the east at 230am. I was looking at the sky and at first I thought it was a star but it was much brighter. I noticed it would move back and forth and fad. It was much brighter then a star. I went back outside around 530am and it was still there and I could really notice it was moving up and down back and forth. When I went back out at 6am, it was gone.

New Braunfels, TX
Outside on porch early in the morning, when flashing light in sky was noticed. Object/light was stationary and very easily visible. Object was flashing blue, red, and white and varied in intensity. Upon further investigation there were three of such objects/lights in the sky and were the points of what appeared to be a triangle formation with the top light varying slightly in color and frequency of flashes. Top light flashed in very slow cadence, bottom two points/lights were flashing very rapidly. This was observed recorded and photographed for over an hour before phone died. All objects/flashing lights were stationary and did not appear to move at all.

Possible helium-filled balloon. Perhaps one of the balloons allegedly launched by DARPA? PD

Superior, MT
After hiking at the Montana/Idaho border, my wife and I were sitting watching the stars when one of the stars became super bright like a long flash from a camera it lasted for about 20 seconds, it then moved at a high rate of speed then disappeared. I do know it was not a plane. Not sure what it was.

Tacoma, WA
Unusual bright "star" which I viewed out my window while seated on the couch. Caught my attention because it was unusually bright, being near the horizon. I looked at it out the window for several minutes, then went out onto my front stoop, where it very slowly moved out of sight. It did not appear to be over my neighborhood, but rather, it seemed closer to SeaTac airport or perhaps over Fairwood/Kent. There was no noise. It appeared to pulsate. I see this exact same thing from my porch frequently. I live in Tacoma and it is always in the northern sky, almost like it is flashing prismatic light, and then suddenly diappears. We joke it is probably just another one of Elon Musk's experiments. The object definitely doesn't behave or move like anything we are familiar with.

Smithsburg, MD
The sky turned a reddish color, then there was this pulsating light in the dense clouds. They turned green, purple, blue, and would flash bright red. We could hear a strange sound in the sky. I have never experienced anything like this. Not going to lie.... I was pretty freaked out.my dog was in the house going a little crazy as well, he stopped when the event stopped.

Pomona, CA
To this day I still can’t explain it and I don’t really like talking about it. Another thing is it was very hot that summer week we had the AC going on all day it was hot at night at 2 AM.

Ball of light moving slow then shot out super fast, disappearing then leaving a trail of green light behind it, in a script writing kind of motion.

Myrtle Beach, SC
I downloaded a new app and one of the features of the app is to alert when you can see any special event in the sky and it will show you where to look. We got an alert at night that there was about to be an ISS flyover. It’s only happened early in the morning so we were super excited to see it at night. We ran outside and searched the sky and could not see it. It wasn’t even showing up on the app. We figured it must have been a mistake and was about to stop looking until I saw a light appear out of nowhere. Immediately, I told him I found it and showed him, except this light was followed by 4 others! All 5 lights moved in a line like pattern. The app didn’t register anything in the sky when we pointed it in that direction. The ISS flyovers take about 6 minutes to travel the distance these moved in 30-45 seconds!

Lake Worth, TX
I was driving home from work a little after 10PM. I was crossing the 199 bridge over Lake Worth when an object to my right (in a northerly direction I believe) caught my attention. I turned and saw two very bright objects in the sky flying in a northwesterly/northerly direction. One appeared high than the other and as they got closer to the horizon, they began to level out. I tried to keep them in my vision for as long as possible but they eventually dipped below the horizon and out of sight. I thought they could've been two aircraft but I didn't see any signal lights. I then thought maybe I was seeing the landing lights but any of the airports that could handle an aircraft of that size were in the complete opposite direction.

Rice Lake, WI
Noticed 3 stationary red lights in the Western Skies. They never moved, but they were in a line and disappeared one by one in a line about 20-30 seconds apart. They appeared to be flashing very slightly, and just before they disappeared they turned white and flickered away.

Lagrange, GA
Driving over a bridge, i saw what i thought was a very bright star in my peripheral vision and after about 10 seconds of it being there, i looked at it and it immediately zig- zagged left, right, left, then finally it went straight down and disappeared like switching off a light switch.

Prosser, WA
I was driving to a convenience store in Prosser, Washington, taking the I-82 between Grandview and Prosser. It was overcast, raining and thundering. Noticing a bright white light on the side of Horse Heaven Hills, not really paying much attention but looking over at it from time to time. As I pulled into the Loves, I noticed it was now blinking white and red brightly, then dulling turning off and on. I got out of my car and moved out to the side of the building and watched it. I was looking South - South East, roughly bearing 175 Degrees. It was moving back and forth East to West. I watched it for a minute before going inside to get a few things. Coming back outside and still seeing it do its thing, I decided to try and get to where it was. Driving through town taking SW Bennett Ave. To Highway 22, I had lost sight of it and I could no longer see it due to maybe the top of the hill. Not having a place I felt comfortable pulling over I simply continued on home. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be both sincere, and sober-minded. PD

Coudersport, PA
Me, my brother, my best friend and a close buddy (all college graduates, professionals in our late 20’s, early 30’s) were stargazing at while camping at cherry spring state park. We first saw a shooting star and thought that would be the coolest thing we saw or maybe if lucky we would see the milky way. Instead we saw an odd shaped craft off in the distance that was flickering red and blue lights or a purplish light. We were all taken back cause it was unlike anything we expected to see or had seen before. We thought maybe it was a satellite or a space station. But then it began to move in a direct line to the right (a few inches in the sky) and then in a direct smooth and controlled line back to where it was. Intelligent coordinated movement. This left us questioning what the hell did we see? I am now confident that we saw a UFO
