My girlfriend and I were laying in bed and heard this extremely loud boom noise. Was looking outside to see if I saw a car accident due to the noise sounding very close. Looked in the sky and say a glowing light moving left to right in an almost perfect semi circle. The speed changed as the craft moved and at times it would almost look like it was just hovering. During breaks in the clouds you could see that the light was brighter, but then would go behind cloud cover again.

Twin Falls, ID
White bright strobe light flashed every 2 sec. when traveling south on hiway 93 toward Jackpot NV. Saw the exact same thing Apr 14, 2019 (previously reported) in same area when going north on hiway 93 from Jackpot NV and Twin Falls. Maintained speed of the truck and moved from one side of the truck to the other. Vehicle traffic going both ways. The light was beside the car in front of me for part of the time. Eventually faded away behind me.

I work night shift. So I am up at night. At the time it was May so it was warm and I had my window open. As I am watching videos online, I notice a bright light like an airplane with its fog lights on. But it is fading randomly. Like its loosing power or something. It isn't making sound or getting any closer. It is just there stationary in the sky. So I go out in the front yard and film it. And it is a white light like a bright star or high up plain coming head on. But it's not going anywhere. And it is just the one bright light. But it is randomly fading in and out. It doesn't have a pattern or other lights. I have the video. I want to know how to send it to you. I watched it for 15 or 20 minutes before I went out into my front yard and made the 5 and some seconds video.

Regina (Canada), SK · Canada
Sitting in our vehicle my girlfriend and I noticed a white light in the sky that seemed to be moving in patterns. At first we both assumed it was a light coming from the ground pointing upwards into the sky, this was until I noticed a second light that looked to be following the first light around the sky above us. The second light only stuck around for a few short moments (maybe 10-15 seconds). We posted videos we took of the incident to our snapchat story and immedietley got reactions from friends saying they had either witnessed it themselves, or knew of someone else who witnessed it from the Candy Cane park area, which is about three blocks from where we are sitting.

Auburn, IL
Saw two ufo's tonight, possibly three, on the north-west side of Auburn, looking towards the west. Two were up relatively high and a ways apart. One was lower and closer. They just looked like bright lights in the sky, but a bit too far away to make out actual shapes. They were just hovering and flashing red, green, blue, yellow and white, we watched the lower one about 20 minutes or so, then it just disappeared. The other was higher up and farther away, but looked the same as the other lower one, flashing different colors. Then a solid reddish light seemed to come out of that one and flew off pretty fast, then it spread out into what looked like three lights, one solid red and a flashing white and red light. and flew off. When we left where we were, the higher up one was still hovering there in the same spot. There were 5 witnesses to this.

it was a bright green light that flew straight south direction at an incredible speed. Was thinking it was a meteor, about to enter the atmosphere, when it disappeared.

Lowell, NC
I live about 15 minutes from Charlotte Douglas Airport. I’ve been observing airplanes land from my front porch for several years. I know what the normal speed of an airplane is. Very early Sunday, my girlfriend & I were sitting on the front porch. I had ben watching planes over the horizon, coming in steadily one after another. A bright light appeared in the same approach pattern as the airplanes. Its light was much more brilliant than any of the airplanes I have seen. It took the same approach line, but moving at a pace I would think near Mach I. I’m not 100% sure that the lights were blinking because there was some low cloud cover, but only in random spots in the sky. I really believe the light was blinking in what seemed to be a random order. It followed what appeared to be the exact same landing pattern the airplanes take, then it made an IMMEDIATE turn up at an approximate 60* angle and disappeared immediately afterwords.

As I went outside like most evenings to check on sky views for some stargazing, the skies were clear and star-filled albeit for a thin veneer of haziness towards the northwest. I went up on my pool deck which is elevated approximately 10 feet off the ground which gives a better view through the bare branched trees. My gazing began looking up towards the zenith as I often begin in this manner to allow my peripheral vision to take in all directions anything that might draw my attention, e.g. shooting star, meteor activity and any anomaly. Ten minutes into gazing and listening to the sounds of peepers in the wetland farm tract to the northwest, is when I noticed two red and white flickering objects out of the corner of my eye coming from my west (Lake Champlain/Cumberland Head, NY, transiting east.) I continued to watch these 2 points of red and white flickering objects and determined they couldn’t be small planes because there was no sound and they weren’t moving in a linear way but seemed to be buoyant and bobbing going slightly up and down and then hovering and circling one another as they did this heading slowly east. I could clearly see the flickering lights even through a slight haze-the distance I would guesstimate to be a mile maybe 2 from my deck. This continued on for several minutes roughly 15. The objects were just above the tree line not in the sky and to my eye they would have been near the shoreline by Pearl Bay by East Shore Rd. I have seen these lights once before in the same vicinity during the last month of April but never paid too much notice, just made a mental note of their unusual flickering. It definitely got my attention last night almost to the point of nearly driving my car the short distance of a mile and a half to (the public beach) on East Shore North to observe more, but didn’t in the end.

I stepped outside to smoke, and I was looking up and saw these strange lights. They were white, red and a green-blue color. They looked like they were on top of each other. I could see they were hoovering from left to right slowly. I got my wife to show her and she seen it as well..then suddenly they vanished and a second later I seen a orange light come upward like an arc to where the original lights were at, then it just disappeared..

Gibbstown, NJ
3 objects in the air that looked like literal camp fires in the sky following each other, moving really fast, went from one end on the horizon to the other in 20 seconds, then they met each other in the middle of the sky, formed a triangle, and disappeared one by one. There was no sounds from these crafts. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Angleton, TX
I was watching television at about 2am in my living room when I saw, outside of my window, a basketball-sized light shining through the closed blinds. It was a very pale blue color and moved from east to west very slowly. It eventually went by my front porch where I could see it shine through the window there, as well. It also lit up the peep-hole in my front door. It was very bright and did not make any sound. It floated about eight feet above the ground. It disappeared from sight for a couple of minutes, then it showed up and did the exact same thing again one more time. After it disappeared again, I never saw it again. I need to let you know that I have schizoaffective disorder, but have no history of visual hallucinations.

Two bright dots of light. Erratic flight path. Objects connected to one another in the sky and separated independently. Flight path chasing one another from one o'clock position to three o'clock position, retracing flight three o'clock position to one o'clock. Repeatedly three times.

Ajo, AZ
Ajo, AZ April 30: Approximately 10PM Camping in my Airstream, heard sounds like rolling thunder, checked weather map on computer for SW AZ, nothing sighted nearby. Heard it again and went out to see two blinking white lights and roaring sound coming from opposite direction. The lights floated away seemingly randomly and then disappeared. They were the colors of stars but were bigger and brighter. I looked up any Air bases near AJO and there are none. I saw the lights twice about 15 minutes apart. They did not move like aircraft, they were faster and appeared to float and bob.

Light traveling from the south heading north. The light was strobing on a straight path. The light appeared as round,to slow to be a meteor and to fast to be a plane. The light made no sound. Weather conditions were mostly clear.

Valparaiso, FL
While canvassing my neighborhood door knocking as a new Realtor build upon my database , I stumbled upon a peculiar sight - a luminous and effervescing object in the water. To conceal my unease, I attempted to maintain a composed demeanor and refrained from approaching it directly, opting instead to casually observe from a distance. The source of this anomalous green light was situated adjacent to a dock, specifically in the area known as Toms Bayou, which is situated in close proximity to the Eglin Air Force Base FL backgate.

2 brilliant streaks of light in the western horizon, directly west of Miami International Airport. One streak was traveling horizontal from North to South at a high rate of speed, and disappeared after about 15 minutes into a dark cloud. The other brilliant light was traveling from up to down, and also disappeared into a dark cloud. Both light beams were moving at high speed and were visible for 15 minutes at sundown.

Bowling Green, KY
Appeared to be a spiraling light that hovered in one main vicinity for about half an hour, as I observed for some time I saw green and red spiraling lights encompass the light in a series of formations gathering back to the light then away again until it grew dimmer, supposing it moved further away.

Bridgton, ME
A small speck of white light, dimmer than the visible stars around it, moved in a linear fashion. Within a second or two, it began to zip erratically through the sky, maneuvering in an unconventional manner at a high rate of speed across the sky, slowly disappearing after several seconds.

Littleton, CO
Looking north from my backyard into the clear blue sky, watching the planes in the distance just coming from DIA, I noticed a circular bright light a distance behind one of the planes and it kept the distance the same for about 5 minutes. It didn't look like a plane so I got out my binoculars and it was a round bright light, yellow and orange in color. It then proceeded to go higher into the atmosphere and was joined by another bright orange/yellow light and they seemed to stay apart, then come together, then apart and then after a minute or so they just disappeared. I would guess the planes from my backyard were about 25-30 miles north of me. The bright lights seemed to be about 1/4 of the size of an airplane. Thought they might be drones, but would have to be quite large for me to have seen at this distance.

Dayton, TX
At Approximately 12:24 AM 4/27/2019 in Dayton, Texas, I witnessed something while star gazing. It was in the Northeastern sky in the Draco constellation. In my area the light pollution is around a 6 or 7 on the light pollution scale. I had just backed away from my Celestron 20x80 sky master pro binoculars, when I saw what appeared to be a star grow as bright as the star Arcturus (the fourth-brightest in the night sky, and the brightest in the northern celestial hemisphere.) then fade back out. I quickly jumped back to my binoculars to locate the object, but had no luck. The experience happened for approximately 2 seconds. At the time, the weather was perfect with no clouds in sight. There were no planes in the sky either at the time. I proceeded to checked Calsky.com for possible satellites in the area of sky or for possible flare ups and everything came back clear.

NJ (above; in-flight @ 30K feet), NJ
It was about 11PM, and based on how long we'd been in the air, my guess is we were over cental NJ. We would have been at cruising altitude, so my guess is 30K feet or more. I saw a light that caught my attention out my window. I was on the starboard side of the plan, so East/Northeast would have been the direction I was facing. This light was solid. At that altitude planes don't have their landing lights on, only flashing markers. So that seemed weird, especially as the light wasn't losing altitude. Anyhow, the light starts to "dance" if you will. Shooting straight up, then dropping quickly. Moving rapidly from left to right. It seemed to grow a bit more intense and I noticed a second red light next to the white one. Both part of the same aircraft it seemed. But again, it was solid, not flashing. Again the light started moving around. My plane was steady, so it couldn't have been an optical illusion where the light was steady, but we w! ere moving. Anyhow, this continued for about 5 minutes or so and then it just disappeared. My first thought was that maybe it was a military plane practicing maneuvers. But that wouldn't happen there and definitely not at that altitude. That's the busiest air corridor in the US, so the FAA would never allow it. Plus, even military aircraft would have to follow regulations for no solid lights except for landing...
