A bright clear morning early on the 28th of October, 2015, I looked out my south facing window, and saw two objects that were stationary. One was further away and to the right of the other and was also more faint to the naked eye. I watched them for approximately 10 + mins and they did not move. I got up again the next morning and again saw these items which again were stationary. I have not seen them since that date, but of course, most of this time the weather has been overcast and rainy. I am not sure if it was the day before or after but as you can see I took a picture with my small camera. They seemed to be in the same location on both days. They appeared to have a circle of lights on the perimeter of the objects, which were from my vantage point white in color.

Yakima, WA
Here is what I saw: At 7:05 P.M.on 10-27-15, I was sitting outside on my patio in Yakima Washington. It was dark outside. The sky conditions were mostly cloudy and the nearly full moon had not yet arisen. I saw two distinct white round objects about 30 degrees above the horizon in the NNW part ofthe sky. They were of the same light intensity and size. They moved for about two seconds almost parallel to the horizon in a ENE direction. One object moved in a somewhat skewed trajectory from the trajectory of the other. They were about the size in diameter 10 times the size of the average distant star. Their speed was about 10 times that of a big plane you would see going overhead. They traveled about 10 degrees across the sky in the two seconds. There was no streaming breakup of material as a falling meteorite would show before it disintegrated. This sighting was certainly not two planes, and if it were meteors, they were travelling at the wrong angle to the earth (almost parallel) and were the most uniform equally sized circular meteorites I have ever seen. I hope someone else witnessed this. We spoke at length via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be quite serious and sober-minded. He described the event in a very eloquent, factual manner, and emphasized how bizarre the event looked to be. PD

I am the 17 year old sister who is reporting this that my brother saw. At 7:13 in the morning, my 11 year old brother was waiting at his bus stop, him along with about 5-7 kids also waiting, saw 5 or 6 different lighting up, circle shaped objects in the sky. My brother said there was one floating right above our apartment building, by my brothers description they were basically surrounding Parma. He also described one of the objects "blasting off like a rocketship" and moved way faster than an airplane would. The age group of the children at the bus stop were 11-12 years old. The parents waiting at the bus stop seemed to notice nothing and paid absolutely no attention to it. My brother also mentioned after all the objects disappeared, all the children saw a green airplane in the sky.

While walking to my girlfriends house I saw disks of light circling each other since it was near Halloween I thought they were just decorations but they seemed to follow me. They kept ahead of me and every so often they would disappear. Eventually I noticed that they were doing a pattern (they circled each other and then came together to for one spinning disk with thick edges). I know they weren't just flood lights or something related because they kept following me for about half a mile and always kept about the same distance in front of me. Eventually I was offered a ride and made it to my girlfriend's house and after that I kind of forgot about them.

Myself and my two younger daughters were sitting outside on our patio talking on the speakerphone to their father when suddenly out of nowhere two Circular flashing glowing lights appeared in the sky out of nowhere. They seem to be circling each other first clockwise then counterclockwise then they seem to disappear into the horizon. They would then reappear out of nowhere and disappear again reappear zipping back-and-forth and amazing speed. At one point they disappeared and then reappeared directly next to each other hovering and flashing almost as if communicating to each other like two police officers would do if they were in the street sitting next to each other talking they began the circular motion again in and out and then began to fade and the arise and again they flashed away again reappeared and then simply disappeared it was amazing. I managed to get myself own and was able to get some of it on video for some reason one of them was not as bright as the other but I did manage to get them next to each other at a hover standing still and I do believe I managed to get them when they simply vanished into thin air. I am a total believer and extraterrestrial life I believe you would have to be stupid not to be and I was amazed and honored to of seen it. I wish I could give contact number so I can get information back that it anyone else saw these lights. My daughters are only six and three and they immediately knew that they were UFOs my six-year-old begin to tremble and shake with fear in the beginning although my three-year-old was simply amazed by it and said mommy look the aliens came to visit us

I was pumping gas at a Kroger. Looked up facing the sunset and saw a white circular light moving fast off to the right. No chem-trail. A circular distortion opened up in front of it in the sky and it soon disappeared upon entering it.

We were out spotting deer,about a mile from home, all the sudden my husband shut off his spotting light and asked, "did I see that?" He pointed out 3 spheres circling each other -at fast pace like they were "playing" about 3 ft. off the ground. On his side of the car about 50 ft from center of the road in the field. Then just spead off north west. WE were about 3 miles from the St. Lawrence river. We have asked many neighbors, family & friends and the only one that had seen something simalar was my brother _he'd seen around his farm (where I grew up) down the road (towards were the balls headed when we saw-same discription as us about the size of soft balls) He said Dad (I knew he'd seen some wierd stuff over the years while in woods cutting trees,working fields and while in Navy, he passed away the same year we saw lights so didn't get to discuss with him)had told him about seeing same around the farm. This has really bothered my husband and I. Who can! one talk to about when see...wish had camera. You my contact us if wish. Thank you for letting me get this off my chest. BELIEVER NOW FOR SURE! Source of report indicates that the date of the incident is approximate. PD

I was woke up at 4:47 am by an extremely loud jet plane sound right above my house, it rattled the windows, made the ceiling fan shake violently, as I jumped out of bed, the floor felt as if an earthquake was occurring. The backyard looked lite up as if it were noon, the way the jet sounded & felt, I was certain that I was going to run out to see a plane crash into my neighborhood, however by the time I got to the dining room and looked out the slider to the backyard, it was pitch black outside and no signs of a jet or any aircraft, everything seemed peaceful and "normal", then I ran to the front of the house and saw 2 circular lights in the eastern sky, they were side by side, one small and dim, the other was absolutely huge and extremely bright, neither one was moving or twinkling. They just hung in the sky, in the same spot for 20 minutes, then both of them simply disappeared at the same second, without ever moving, just disappeared! I grabbed my husbands cell phone and took a couple pictures and short video, which unfortunately neither do justice to the very large size of the one!!

Objects were first noticed in the sky in a triangle formation. Objects did seem to be able to stay stationary at will as well as move at will. Only one witness, 38 years old, that is known at this time. Video was captured of the event.

At approximately 7:10, I noticed four hazy circular lights that appeared to be above the cloud cover. They were directly over our property or slightly north. They formed one light, and then it split into four lights diverging from the center light to form a large circular motion. Each of the four lights rotated counter-clockwise about ¼ of the circular pattern at high speed. Then the four lights merged into one light again. They continued to follow this pattern. I immediately called my wife out to observe. The pattern barely moved northeast in the ten minutes we were observing. As of 7:45, the lights continue. Holding my thumb at arms length, they appeared to be about the size of a quarter. There are no beams originating from the ground as you would expect from searchlights. I tried to video, but nothing showed up.

Lights that would all be one then split out to four evenly spaced going round in circles. Probably met back up 5 times to form one. I would say looked like the moon behind clouds to describe the look and shape. Possibly advertising lights? PD

While driving, the driver and passenger noticed something in the above clear autumn sky. There were three dots that appeared and disappeared, changing speeds/direction, leaving small short trial in the process. Objects disappeared minutes later.

At approximate 10:30 p.m. on Thursday, October 22, 2015 my roommate and I were talking out on our balcony which faces about south east. I was sitting in a low chair and my roommate was standing with his back against the railing, facing me and the door to the apartment--he could not see the sky. As we talked I observed a bright light moving across the sky that resembled the profile of a meteor, that is to say the light grew brighter as it moved laterally across the sky from the right of the balcony to the left. That would put it coming from roughly the south to the north. If the light had streaked then disappeared I would have thought it to be just that, a meteor. However, about 2 seconds after the light appeared the path of the light curved sharply upward and disappeared. The light did not fade out, it was there and then it wasn’t there. This was so strange that I stood up and told my roommate what I had seen. There wasn’t much to say other than I had seen a light moving strangely in the sky. We joked that I was the only one to have seen it and that I now had a ‘UFO’ story that was unsubstantiated. It wasn’t two minutes later that he pointed up into the sky and yelled ‘look at that!’ I thought he was kidding around at first but as I looked three uniformly shaped lights in a delta formation moved rather swiftly and silently through the sky toward the place where I saw the first light curve upward. From our point of view they came over the apartment building which would put them moving roughly east. In the interim between the first light and the sighting of three lights we observed five or six passenger jets flying overhead which is common for this area. These planes took about 30-40 seconds to cross the majority of the sky. The lights we saw crossed about half of the visible sky in less than 4 seconds. As the lights receded from us, the back right light broke formation in a non-ballistic motion, curving through the sky much like a motorcycle zipping around traffic, and passed between the other two as all three accelerated and then disappeared. Just like the first like the first light that I saw, they did not fade out. They were simply there and then not there. I had my cell phone in my hand while we watched, however I was so completely mystified by what we were seeing that by the time it occurred to me to try and film the lights had gone. It likely wouldn’t have shown up though, because once I had begun to take video most everything was black except for the brightly lit parking lot. I don’t recall the shape of the first light very clearly. It didn’t really gain my full attention until it curved upward. The three lights however were very round, nearly perfect discs of soft white light. They appeared to be very high above us. I could not discern any detail other than the relative size and shape. There was no tell-tale warbling of jet engines nor any other sound to indicate a fast moving aircraft. Shortly after our experience another roommate came home and after we told him what we saw, he indicated that he had seen a similar light in the sky akin to the first light that I saw. He was outside and less than 5 miles away to the north west of our apartment. He said that he noticed a bright light in his periphery and turned to look at it. As he did the light was obscured by the little cloud cover that was out. It was strange enough to him that he got the attention of another person next to him but as he directed their attention to the expected position in the sky, the light did not reappear. He did not witness the other three lights. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Last night I stepped out into my backyard about 8:30 pm and out a distance from me through a tree clearing I saw a round object with red and white vivid bright lights hovering with no noise what so ever. It seemed to be spinning but not so fast that I could not make out the light colors. I was in shock and walked closer to my door in fear but continued to watch. And then it just disappeared. It was definitely not an airplane. My dog was outside with me and began barking as well.

Twin Falls, ID
4 lights, amber to red color, appeared for 15-20 seconds in the west, then disappeared. seen this happen 4 times in the nite sky. A smoke or haze stayed with the lights but didn't follow the direction of the wind that was blowing out of the west. We watched the lights south of twin falls Idaho while hunting deer in the mountains. The lights were large like fire coming out of a jet engine but would also dance in the sky. We estimated the lights to be 2 miles across in a straight line and would all disappear at the same time. We couldnt see a craft associated with the lights we were looking at them with our binoculars. We estimated the lights to be 15-20 thousand feet in elevation, my hunting friend and I both observed the lights for about an hour and appeared 4 different times in different areas in the west sky.

I observed two objects travelling west to east. Both had an apparent size about equal to an airliner at 30,000 feet, but wings were not visible, and the apparent speed was roughly 10x faster than a typical airliner. No vapor trails whatsoever. Both objects were travelling in the same direction, but along slightly separate parallel alignments. One led the other by about 5 seconds. Both objects were observed nearly directly overhead, slightly to the north of my location. With the sun low in the southeast, it seemed unlikely that I was seeing a reflection of sunlight off the objects. Both objects were bright white against a slightly hazy blue sky. One object appeared round, and the other object appeared slightly oval shape and was rotating at about 2 revolutions per second. Weather conditions: clear with calm winds, about 45 F.

First saw an unusual light in the sky. I grabbed my binoculars and saw a disc shape with orange, yellow, red and white lights going across the bottom of the disc. I saw an airplane headed towards it, then change direction. The object then started moving fast in the South West. I then saw three jets headed towards it. The object then turned orange and faded out of site in the middle of the sky. The jets stayed in the area for a minute before flying out of site.

Time was around 9:30ish PM, event lasted about 5 minutes. I was sitting in my back patio having a cigarette and all of a sudden the circle orange globe objects, 2 of them, appeared on my right hand side in my peripheral view, I turned and followed, they were moving in unison and on a parallel, straight line target. I was surprised and immediately got out of my seat and walked backwards while keeping my eyes on the objects, which were moving from south west to north east, with no noise and as I got further out in my backyard the objects slowed down as I observed them, and them me, and then they slowly started to increase in speed and move in the direction to the north east. I then decided to run inside and get my cell phone but by the time i got it they had moved from the side of the house to the front on the house and I ran inside to go through the house to go out the front door, as I did I shouted my wife, she and the kids came out and we all stood out front of the house. The objects had moved off into the distance by this time and only one of them could be seen far away above the tree line. My wife confirmed she had seen one that was still visible.

I was looking out my balcony window and saw a bright pink light in the sky then it moved quite rapidly and stopped I told my wife to come outside her and I observed the craft flying quickly and making a c shape flight in the sky it seemed to be about 3000 feet in the air quite large and had went towards the marina and stay there behind a building that I could not observe for at least two minutes but then reappeared and it seemed to fly over the Washington pier and then in hovered above the sky again then it seemed to fly very quickly straight down and I could not see it any longer does distance seem to be at least a mile away and it look like it had the speed that it may have gone into the ocean i'm not too sure but I could've swore I seen to jet fighters flying in the same direction where the light was but it had already been out of my sight for a few minutes and these two large airplanes seem to fly right where The light was that last but they continue to fly straight and into the clouds and I could not see the jet fighters any longer .

Fist I saw one standing still, thought it was Mars, But it was too big and bright to be Mars. Then I saw another moving slowly by. The one moving by I thought was a plane, but planes don’t have an orange red glow. I went inside to get my family, when they came out they were gone. When I came out again 10 minutes later I saw three moving slowly close together in a falling pattern. My whole family came out this time to see them. They eventually faded out.
