Bay City, MI
Tonight at 8:56 (or 20:56) while driving from Saginaw to Bay City two aircrafts were spotted, flying in tandem at roughly 350 MPH near Amelith Road Bay City, Michigan. The lights were flashing at 1 millisecond intervals and were white. The crafts were apparently going straight ahead, then turning towards the direction of the airport, where we lost sight.

A weird noise that shook the house like a distant sonic boom and then three zoom noises that you normally never hear, like something you would hear In a space movie almost like laser sounding and the sky got bright for a slight moment like 10 seconds. Then, a few minutes later, a few helicopters flew after it. My dog also has been crying nonstop before and after it and looking at doors like someone is coming, but I don’t see anyone or anything.

At around 9 pm (EST)my husband left to go to the store, and my son and I went outside because it’s a beautiful night out. I’m always looking up at the sky, and tonight I see this thing that looks like a star, but it’s blinking, on and off. It’s not moving like an airplane. But it did move. I went inside to get my camera and when I came back out I couldn’t find it. My son spotted it. It had move higher up, but it still was not moving like an airplane would do. And it was still blinking, on and off. Flashing. Blink. Blink. Blink. And it’s not like the twinkling of a star. This was brighter, and a more pronounced flash, with a pause between the flashes. We went in around 20 minutes after 9 and it was still up there flashing at that time. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Saw the exact same lights high in the sky that I reported on the 9/21/2017, in the same small area of sky. Random white flashes of light of differing intensity in a small patch of sky. The lights did not proceed across the sky as an aircraft would but stayed in the same small circular patch of sky. The moon is too bright tonight to see if the location is the exact same place as I saw them before in relation to the Milky Way, but I'm sure it's close. The event only lasted a few seconds this time. Immediately after I saw the lights, I saw the tiny, faint light of a satellite move across the same area of sky and immediately after the satellite, I saw a shooting star go across the sky from north to south. The strange lights are much brighter in intensity than the satellite but I get the impression that they are very high in altitude, much higher than an aircraft would be but I'm not sure if they are out in space or still in the atmosphere.

Luckily, we both saw it, so I know I didn't imagine it.

Looked like it was falling from the sky. Like a shooting star. Fell Northwards. Spotted as I was heading towards the intersection of 125th and Harper's Street, Near Woods at Quail Creek .

Not sure what this was, but it startled me while I was driving. This isn't really the time of year for fireworks, and I didn't see any other flashes that might indicate that is what the flash came from. Also the way the flash started as a green haze and then culminated in a bright flash did not fit the behavior of any fireworks that I have seen. I'm interested in seeing if this phenomenon was witnessed elsewhere, even if it was not a UFO.

September 23rd, 2017, I can't remember the exact time but I know it was between 8:30-10:30 PM, I saw a red & green "flash" hovering in the sky near Dollywood. It hovered in the same position for 30-45 minutes, at least that's as long as I saw it before I went inside. I briefly thought that it might have been some kind of drone, but the longer it hovered in the same place I believe it could have been a UFO. I didn't see those lights any other time besides that night, & I know for sure it wasn't a cell tower, radio tower, etc. because I had the same view in daytime.

Albion, ME
Stationary flashes of varying intensity occurring 10-60 seconds apart over the course of 5-10 minutes between 8:30 and 9:00 pm EST 09/23/17. This occurred in the south between the arm star Sadalsuud in Aquarius and the stars Scheddi and Nashira in Capricorn in a quarter-sized portion of the sky closer to Capricorn. Observed for 5 minutes then called a witness to confirm. Observed a plane passing below lights from east to west around 8:40 followed by a second plane at same degree above horizon passing from west to east around 8:50. Near 9pm Est lights could no longer be seen. Sky was exceptionally clear. Flashes seemed to be at a greater distance than planes. Flashes seemed to emanate from central sources approximately the size of stars. Some flashes were like brief glimpses of stars, others were faint and lacked a clear central source. Flashes lasted less than one second and did not move during that time. Though they did not seem to appear in the same spot twice.

Me and my father were sitting down on our back deck at around 2 am. I was around 9 years old when this occurred, we heard a loud vibrational noise kind of like a light bulb. I looked up and saw what I thought was a helicopter, I then told my father to look up and as he did it flashed a huge light over our yard. About 3 seconds later it flew off across the night sky. When I think of it I remember helicopters can't go that close to the ground, and I know for a fact drones are not that big.

At this point we were thinking it was just a lightning storm, but the flashes started to turn brighter, and instead of white, they were now green. Freaked out at this point, we were going to the car to drive towards the direction of whatever this thing was. As we were getting into the car, a plane passed overhead, but it made absolutely no noise. It was completely silent. My commute to work every day takes me oast an airport, so I have seen many planes land up close, and I have NEVER seen a plane fly this low and this quietly. As it passed over us, you could feel the force of this thing and it came close to knocking us over. Scared and curious, we finally started driving towards these flashes. After about 5 miles, we could see what looked like a giant cloud in the sky, almost like a hurricane you see on weather radar. Some kind of hole where these flashes were coming from. We park on the side of the road to look, and the plane comes back. Whatever the hell this thing was, it came about 100 yards in front of us, and just hovered. It just hovered and stared at us. Incredibly scared now, we drive back home and went to bed. I am really at a loss of words as to what I saw. Just a side note, our dog was acting incredibly strange all day that day. He hid under the bed which is not like him at all. Source of report indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

My family and I were standing in our field looking at the cloudless, 2/3 full moon, southwestern night sky when all of us said, "Did you see that?!" We all saw a very bright, white flash in the northeast sky. What was weird was all of us saw this flash out of the corner of our eyes so that attests to how bright and spread out the flash was.

My wife spotted the object, while talking on the phone to me. She asked my to hold on while she described a white glow in the sky moving across the sky very slowly, suddenly it shot straight up then continued on a parallel course in the sky, then just disappeared, she took one picture and sent it to me by of text picture.

Appears as a light like a satellite, them starts glowing very bright. Them brightness dimmed and appears like a satellite again them it change directions slightly to the south. It was heading North. It disappear over a building. Saw this thing twice in different nights apart. The above mentioned was the second time. On the first time it did the same thing but near an airliner at approx. 30,000' height from west to east. The airliner was traveling alone as it appeared in flightradar24.com (I went to see it there) Came outside again saw the airliner but the object was gone. Couldn't see it anymore. That was around 2:00 am. Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD

Grand Junction, CO
Starting Aug. 25 - rose for morning Constitutional around 3:15 a.m. and noticed colorful flashing light far in the distance viewing eastward out my second floor bedroom window, I noticed yet more. My partner and I watched the lights for about an hour through binoculars and I snapped some photos. Going outside the next morning the same time there they were again plus more. Again took photos. There is a consistent formation of three bright white lights evenly spaced, in a straight line pointing east-southeast above the Grand Mesa. There are also two stationary lights on either side rapidly flashing blue green red amber This is third morning I have seen this. Judging by the jet liner that flew far above them, they are an est. 8,000-10,000 feet, situated at various locations and elevations above the Bookcliffs, Grand Mesa and Palisade, Colo., or so it appears from my vantage in downtown Grand Junction.

The sky was perfectly clear, black and the stars and Milky Way were spectacular. Over the western horizon, my husband and I saw a quick flash of light, about the same size as a star or satellite. About 15 seconds later we saw the same flash again, this time it was slightly above where we saw the first flash. We both stared at the sky and waited. The flash continued at inconsistent intervals (10 – 30 seconds) and seemed to be traveling in a straight path going upwards (west horizon to east). When looking closely, the flash consistently mimicked one of a light house – not simply on/off, but appeared to be a light circling around and did not create a distinctly visible beam or tail. After a few minutes, the flash seemed to begin moving in a different direction, toward the south. The flash continued for another minute or two then faded away toward the southern sky.

while sitting on front deck looking south at 180 degrees of the night sky. A glowing blue object passed from northeast to southwest towards direction of ft lauderdale airport. i would say very low maybe 200 feet, at a speed thats not posible this close to the ground. the blue glow lasted at most three seconds. Some object went over my head with no sound and no air disturbance. Witness indicates that the date above is approximate. PD

My 2 friends and I saw them at first and thought it was a plane, but then we see the lights flashing slowly and extremely bright. Then we saw another. It would randomly move location after a few flashes maybe 20 seconds apart. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Dashcam captured the video. I saw it in a split second and that's why I checked recording. I have no idea what it is. It was very fast. I thought it's a shooting star, but then second object made it even more weird. https://youtu.be/2_OTEJySo9o

It had mostly a red light and sometimes a green light going around in a almost elliptical pattern. When growing through a pair of binoculars the lights were much like the brightness of led lights. To the bottom left to right were flashing white lights brighter than an aircraft and would disappear, shortly after appearing

UFO Report August 19, 2017 7pm While listening to Coast to Coast podcast on August 19th for the August 17th broadcast, my attention was arrested when you mentioned the Turkey sighting on August 12. First, because my husband and I had traveled to Turkey in early 2016 for a tour of the early Christian churches. The second reason the report grabbed my attention was because I think I saw a very similar flickering light around the same timeframe - only I live north east of Cincinnati, Ohio. My husband was out of town the nights of August 9th and 10th. We usually stargaze together so I rarely go out without him but because the night was clear (not sure which of the two nights) I stepped out onto the deck for a few moments to look up. It was likely around 11pm as well… I knew I should have documented it because it was so odd, but not drastic enough to think it was report worthy. I was only going to take a quick look because being outside alone is a bit creepy but a bright flash similar to what the Turkish man described caught my eye. This single flash was strobe-like in intensity and hit my peripheral vision. My father, a naval photographer, taught me to look above a light in the night sky to see it better. When I did that I located a slow blinking light in the North-West sky similar to the Turkish man. As I watched the slow blinking object, I discerned it was not moving much… maybe a tiny bit to the left. It definitely was not moving as fast as other objects my husband and I have seen. Over the years multitudes of red blinking lights have been observed and sometimes are close enough to see a white or green light …we have assumed they are planes or drones… they are all silent. But this light, also silent, was different because of the strobe effect that happened one more time when I was about to turn away and go inside. Studying it again, I realized it was definitely not moving and so I began counting seconds between blinks. Sometimes it was three seconds, other times it was five and once I counted seven seconds. This was definitely an interesting phenomenon. I wondered if it was a planet, star or meteor that was so far away the atmosphere may have obscured its light intermittently. It was notable enough for me to tell my husband when he returned home. I wished he had witnessed it too because I was second-guessing the strobe effect that happened twice. But when I heard the report from Turkey, I knew it wasn’t my imagination. I suspect we saw the same thing… but probably on different nights. Thanks for your reports on Coast to Coast. It’s interesting to hear what other people are seeing. My husband and I are age 55, college graduates and entrepreneurs. We don’t believe in aliens from other planets. We believe there are government black op programs and entities from other dimensions. We have no desire to make contact with these entities, but recognize we have authority over them through faith in Jesus Christ. So no fear, worry or concerns… just reporting a curiosity in the night sky. Bless you!
