UFO sighting Summer 2019 I was walking in my neighborhood with my boyfriend. He was ahead of me and turned around to talk to me and something caught his eye over my right shoulder. I turned to look and I saw five lights (4 white lights and 1 red light) in the air flying directly over the houses on my street. These five lights were in (what I am going to call) a formation that suggested they should have been attached to a passenger airplane. The lights came from the east and flew low over the houses on my street. They were very close to me but there was no sound and I could tell that they were not coming from a commercially available drone, or any other drone-device that I know of. The space between the lights, in which I would have expected to see the body of an airplane, was empty. There was no visible structure holding these lights in their relative formation. I could see the sky and mountains behind them. The lights flew past me from east to west and then turned in unison toward the northwest and flew over another city before disappearing into the distance. When I finally looked at my boyfriend to get his reaction, he was just staring at the spot the lights disappeared. I asked him “Did you see what I saw?” and he responded by saying, “Where was the plane?” At that point we talked about what he both saw and agreed that we saw the same thing. We agreed that for lack of a better explanation, we had seen an invisible passenger airplane, or something pretending to be one.

I stayed for about 10 min to see if it would come back, but I lost it. On my way back home passing the industrial park on my right, there was a helicopter. I was driving and couldn’t really tell, but to me it looked like it had no markings and it could have been a black helicopter. There is a military base 10 min away from the park and industrial area. I was driving and could not stop so I can't confirm it was a black helicopter. I don’t think it a coincidence that I see a UFO and there’s a helicopter flying around the vicinity after. I’m frustrated as the UFO only shows up o! n video the last 2 sec, when I clearly and visually saw it the whole time while recording.

As I was listening to a friend talk to a group of four of us, I saw a light as bright as the full moon but smaller in size, which was about 1/8 the size of the moon, travel in a perfectly straight line horizontally across the sky and disappeared into absolutely nothing. There were no clouds and the moon was full and bright. The light traveled faster than any airplane and was not a shooting star. There was no tail or lagging light behind the object. The size of the object was so large it could never be misinterpreted as an aircraft. The manner at which it disappeared into thin air was a complete mystery. I have never seen anything similar to this, and matter of fact have never seen anything other than aircraft and an occasional shooting star a handful of times. As I yelled “Did you guys see that?” I actually startled everyone because they actually did not see what I had because it was behind them. This is definitely a little scary, mysterious, and totally unexplainable.

I saw a light moving really fast for only a matter of of seconds in the sky from East to West and vanish. A second later another light going from North West to South East and vanish and several seconds later another this time from South to North and vanish.

No sounds heard to indicate a helicopter suspended there. Then last night, I saw the same apparent light south of us. Fixed, not moving. It was there for a long time, went to bed before it disappeared. Tonight, it was not there.

Went to bed, and we have no curtains on our windows. Looked out the window from my bed and two bright lights were in the sky, just thru the trees. At first I thought it might be drones. But they stayed pretty much in the same spot. They were twinkling, dimming and sometimes disappeared, but came back on. The lights were bright, the light seemed to shine down on the yard almost. We live in an isolated area with no lights close to use, so I don't have an explanation. I did get up to try and take a picture but I was nervous and when the iphone turned it's flash on, I got scared and just turned the phone off. I hope this helped. ((witness's name deleted)) 989-((telephone number deleted)) In case you don't believe me. I called our sheriff's dept. today, but they were too busy to take my report.

An orange ball of light appeared out of nowhere, in clear skies, heading in a northwest direction. Object dipped down in a U-shape before heading upward and disappearing without a trace. Was outside smoking when the object appeared and disappeared. Object was low to the ground, too low to be an airplane and made no noise.

At 14:30, out of the east by the face moon in the sky, 7 objects appeared in formation. Just north of these objects, three more lights were in the sky. All the same light. It did last long but they were bright and in formation. The former various shapes: squares, rectangles and the Orion's Belt. They broke off and proceeded overhead until no longer visible.

On Sat night, the 8th of June 2019, my wife, myself, & 2 other couples (6 people) were hanging out talking on the back porch of a friend's house. We were talking of how Jupiter was supposed to be so close we could see the moons with a pair of binoculars, so we decided to pull up our skyview apps on our iphones to look at stars & try to find Jupiter. At about 21:45 we began to spot communication satellites traveling the night sky, they were all over, as well as the occasional high flying airplanes. You can always tell the airplanes from the blinking lights on each wingtip… One of the men in the group notices a light in the sky, like a satellite, only brighter, almost as bright as the N star. It was travelling from the S to the N faster than a satellite, almost double the speed of a satellite as viewed with the naked eye, it had no blinking lights, it was too high to be heard, but it was quite clear in the NE sky that night, so no clouds to obscure it. I remarked at how it kind of had a blue blur behind it, almost like it was going so far it was getting blurry near the end. It was viewed by all six adults over the age of 35, no one was intoxicated, all sober. It traveled the sky in a straight line for around a minute, about 1' across the sky viewed by eye, it stayed a constant speed, then phased out...totally disappeared, no explosion, no giant flash...it was there, then it wasn't. We've tried to explain it off, as we live near some high profile military bases, but somethings, somethings just can't be explained.

Bright white object – seem to be spinning – at a very high altitude – thought it was a stationary satellite reflecting the sun at first. The moon was used as a reference point – object see below the moon to the left. Then it moved slightly and slowly to the left – stayed in the same position for 10 minutes or so. The began to move off toward the west. Not an airplane as it was stationary for a long period of time – not a balloon as it moved in a straight line. Observed it with two other people for a good 30 minutes. We were just sitting in our pool at the time watching it.

Manhattan, KS
We were driving on I-70 back to Manhattan when I saw several orange lights in the sky that looked close by. They were so bright that they looked like they could have came from fireworks or an explosion of some kind, but it was illuminating the sky around it. The lights were in a disk-like formation and several more appeared between some of the lights. This honestly reminded me of the Phoenix Lights. There is Fort Riley near by, so I'm unsure if it was a military thing, but these lights were so close and not anywhere near Manhattan or the military base. These lights then began to descend down toward the ground while also vanishing like if someone turned off a light. By the time we got to Bill Snyder Highway, the lights were gone.

At first it was just one blue glow in the clouds. The glow would get stronger and then dim a little. Afterwards it moved and at stages bluish/white lights came through the clouds. Very hard to describe but the best example i can give is when you see a sci fi movie where a robot or gadget 3d scans something with lazers. These lights would light up the clouds but when they were visible theyd beam out one direction then change very quickly to another direction. They shot out at every angle to. After maybe 2 minutes there were 2 blue glows behind clouds. Both moved rapidly from one point to another with flashing lighting up clouds as they stop. When i could see the beam it looked as though it came from a central point and spread out into a few beams like as i said as though it was quickly scanning then moving. Sorry i know its really hard to put into words this episode, but i didnt know where or who else to report this to as i feel very uneasy about it all.

As my son, wife and I were looking up at the stars late Friday night into early Saturday morning we saw this light traveling in the galaxy at a constant speed. It was passing stars and at first we thought it was a shooting star but clearly realized it wasn't because it stayed lite and maintained a constant speed until it came to a complete stop. It was going from West to East then stopped, went south for a short distance, did this zig zag in the sky and shot off rapidly towards the east until it disappeared. Was out of this world for sure!

Langford (Canada), BC · Canada
At approximately 6:10 am while walking my dog in my neighborhood I looked up to discover in the clear black morning sky a string of high flying lights (at least 60 to 70 thousand feet above) proceeding from west to east in a relatively slow moving fashion having each of the lights equally spaced from one another in a straight line. I witnessed this "progression of lights" proceed across the night sky for about 12 minutes.... I do not know if this was a UFO(s)) but it sure was rather odd I thought.

Around 3:10am, I was outside on my back deck looking at the stars; I talked really quiet out-loud saying, “If there are any aliens up there please show me your space ship; Do something.” To the East moving from South to North I saw a moving object light up for two seconds; I said, “Thank you; Please do it again.” About 1 minute later I saw the same thing this time North-East moving in the same direction. It was like what people who see UFO’s call a Power-Up but very short as if they only wanted me to see them. The object appeared to be about 1 mile away from me; The light went from complete darkness to brightness, fading-in from small to large and fading-out from large to small; Hold your thumb and index-finger ¼-inch apart and then hold your fingers against the sky and imagine a bright-light about 1 mile away at that size [That’s about how large the light was at its brightest]; And the shape of the light was more oval shaped being wider on the left and right sides.

Was driving north on the turnpike when all of a sudden a bright light filled the sky, almost as if a flash of lightning expect it was sustained for at least 5 second, pulsating. Then after a short break the same thing happened again, but brighter. No storms where in the area, so it wasn’t lightning. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

My wife, myself, and the neighbors we were visiting had just stepped outside onto their porch. We were standing there talking about how great the weather felt and was looking at the stars. My wife said, "Do ya'll see that?" Our neighbor said, "I am glad someone else is seeing stuff". Yet when I looked and my buddy we did not see anything and said its probably just an airplane or a bright star. My wife said, "There were lights and they did not look like airplane lights or stars." I of course am, was, very skeptical and said (thinking she thought she saw a UFO), "Well I don't see anything." Then right in front of us, up in the sky, we witnessed these yellowish, orangish circles of light. They appeared out of nowhere. First one, then another up and to the left of the first one, then they multiplied. There were all the sudden three circles of lights above and two below. Then the three upper circles of light merged. The lower circles then combined to one. The two upper circles then became side by side. Then one moved quickly in front of the other in a straight like fashion. Then the lower circle of light disappeared, then the one above it, and then the last upper one disappeared. Just like someone was switching the lights off. And switching the lights off what exactly? After seeing that, I sat outside of our home for quite a while. Then all the sudden, it looked like a shooting star fell and that was all I saw the remainder of the time I sat out there. I must have stayed out there for a good four hours just looking in the direction where I saw the circles of light. It was like something out of a movie, I have never seen anything like it. It was a feeling of fear, excitement, anxiety all rolled into one. I went inside my house and googled anything I could find on this kind of phenomenon, then watched hundreds of youtube videos. Which lead me to the National UFO Reporting Center. I even called Peter at the center. I was and still, am just trying to wrap my head ar ound what I experienced. This all happened in Artesia, New Mexico, which is 57 miles south of Roswell New Mexico. Another reason I was so skeptical. I have always thought it was a humongous scam, UFO's and Aliens. I am not so skeptical any longer. I know what I saw was no airplane, no star, no kind of technology, at least none I have ever witnessed before. I do have everything I explained recorded on my phone.

West Hills, CA
At approximately 9:20 (sic. p.m), as i was getting out of my car i saw what looked like a bright star slowly move across the sky heading south/east, before disappearing at a blink of an eye. Moments later another light that resembled a star, was slowly moving from south to north, it was slowing down then speeding up and it appeared to be wobbling. My guess they were at least ten miles above earth.

Thought it was a plane at first, but it was moving back and forth, left and right. Then it disappeared into thin air. Shortly after a large plane with a huge spotlight followed the object. This is the first of two sightings.

Patagonia, AZ
On the evening of 3 June, 2019, 3 adults, a 10-year old and a 6-year old observed 4 craft hover and maneuver over the town of Patagonia, Arizona, for 2 hours. The evening was dark (new moon), no haze and cloudless. You could see the streak of the Milky Way arcing through the sky. The sighting started at around 2030, my Mom and I were sitting in the back yard talking. All of a sudden, my Mom exclaimed, "Look at that Airliner!" I turned, and looking east-southeast towards Red Mountain, was a light traversing from left to right, about 30-degrees above the horizon. At first glance, it would be easily be mistaken for an aircraft strobe...but the flash pattern was too fast, almost flickering. As we looked, the craft slowed, stopped, and then started moving the exact opposite direction. I ran to the fence, and as I watched, it slowed and started hovering. Perfectly motionless. I called my Mom to go get my Cousins and to bring binoculars. About 30 seconds later, she arrived at the fence with my Older cousin, her two kids, aged 10 and 6, and the binoculars. Looking through the binoculars, I observed a large red ball-like light on the right with two flickering/strobing lights to left. While I was looking, the ball changed color from red to blue, and started moving straight up. All of us exclaimed in amazement. After moving up for 5 seconds, it moved left, stopped and hovered, and then started moving in random motions, frequently stopping to hover motionlessly for up to 30 seconds at a time. At this time, my 10-year old cousin yelled, "There's another one!". Looking to the left, there was another craft like the first one, moving towards the first. I then asked my older cousin to try and record with her phone camera. As the night was very dark, all she could pick up was the intense strobe. After about 30 minutes of the two craft maneuvering, 2 more appeared. These 4 craft moved all over the sky, stopping and hovering, moving in diagonals, and going straight up in the air to very high altitudes. They would cycle through many colors: Red, Blue, Orange, Green, White and Purple. My Mom observed a slight aura or haze around the objects, which I couldn't see. Object number #1 at times stopped, and the "colored" ball moved to the center of a ring of lights that flashed in sequential pattern, then reconfigured to the Ball left/flashing lights right pattern. There was no noise of jet engines or helicopter blades the entire time. At times, my 10-year old cousin actually sat in the grass to watch these things. These were not meteors, satellites, drones or aircraft (planes/helicopters). I am an IT specialist, US Army veteran with a hobby of photographing aircraft. These were not normal aircraft.

Bright light going in a circular motion then would leap out a short distance from where I first saw it, continue in a circular motion, leap back in the opposite direction and continue the circular motion. Strange propulsion. It was light orange in color. The sky was mostly clear with very thin, scattered clouds. An airplane was spotted in the vicinity of the object on a known flight path. The duration of the sighting was approximately 5 minutes. I ran in the house to grab my phone to record it, rushed back outside and object was gone. I had a strange feeling while watching the object. My heart began racing. I watched the object from my front yard while out walking my dog.
