Fletcher, NC
Myself and three of my children where walking to the driveway, when my oldest son which is 14 was like, “Mom, what’s that?” I looked up as well as my other kids and there was this very bright green light flying across the sky. This was no shooting star I have seen those before. This was flying across the sky like a plane would but it wasn’t going that fast until we all looked at it, and then it shot off like a bullet across the sky. We watched it until it went out of our view. It gave us all goosebumps. I couldn’t get to my phone fast enough to get a picture or video. No one will ever believe us and what we saw or they will think we are crazy. But what we saw was the craziest thing we have ever seen. I hope it happens again where I can film it. I went on YouTube and found videos of the same light being seen all over the world. I didn’t see a shape to it. Just a bright green light flying through the sky. What in the world did we see?

Norfolk, VA
Was pulling into the parking lot near the piers on Norfolk Naval base. I glanced out my window (looking south) and seen what appeared to be a shooting star, but it never diminished or faded away. It looked like a white tic tac and had a greenish glow and short tail behind the object and was moving silently and quick (500mph +) across the sky. It went from over the piers to out of sight in less than 10 seconds. Pulled out my phone and captured a video, but it's not visible on the replay and I don't have special programs to enhance the video.

Portsmouth, NH
To my surprise it began to move slowly across the sky in a southeasterly direction. There are a couple of large trees in my backyard so as it traveled it would disappear behind a branch then emerge into sight on the other side of the tree. I watched it ‘fly’ all the way across the sky in a straight line, then it disappeared from my view, limited as it was, by the small window. It was not an airplane. I do not know what it was, but it was strange. I am 59 years old. I’m a retired journalist. I now substitute teach in public school. I am a church-goer and I believe in God.

Silverton, OR
On the night of July 3rd, 2019, I attended a 4th of July fireworks display at The Oregon Gardens with my date, 3 of her sisters, and one of their boyfriends. After the fireworks we were walking back to our vehicles when we decided to stop at the Community Skate Park and hang out and talk etc. We were lying on our backs in the skate bowl looking up at the sky. The sky was patchy with clouds with the stars visible clearly between the clouds. There was no moon and we were far away from strong sources of light pollution. After a few minutes my date and I noticed a small speck of white light with what appeared to be a "tail" trailing behind moving against the background of the stars. We both commented that it looked like a single sperm “swimming” among the background of the stars and going behind the clouds seemingly in a random, “searching” pattern; zig-zagging around seemingly aimless. We observed the light for several minutes, not less than 5 and not more than 10 perhaps. There were no flashing lights, and the “object” itself was very faint and difficult to make out and several times we lost it behind a passing cloud only to pick it back up when it emerged on the other side. My date and I and at least one of her sisters witnessed the same phenomena we did but the light was very faint and I am unsure if everyone present was able to positively see the object. Several times we saw definite and easily identifiable airplanes and we were certain that it wasn’t one of them, it appeared to be much “higher” and had no flashing or blinking lights and made no sound that we could make out. At first I took it to possibly be a satellite but I am unaware of any that changed direction like this object did. At some point it went behind a particularly large cloud and we were unable to see it afterward. We were all 100% sober and ranged in age between 16-35.

Fridley, MN
The light was the only light in the sky. Was watching it and it suddenly moved erratically sort of zigzag pattern. Would then stop and sit for a few minutes then move erratically again. This went one for well over an hour until it took off instantly. You could not see it take off. It was there than just gone. We have video of it. First video kept going black. Could not see the light. But could when viewing with same camera but in photo mode. Second video was able to record from older phone camera

Great Falls, MT
A light was seen on west side of Great Falls heading east. At first, the light seemed like it could be a shooting star; but quickly it was realized to too slow to be a meteorite and it did not appear to move like a satellite. The light moved forward for a while before a second light, dimmer and slightly pulsating, appeared behind it. Both lights did not move in an exact straight line but were not moving all over the place, either. When recorded on a cell phone, unfortunately the only light that would show up was the first one. While being recorded, that light appeared to spread out and disperse--much like a calm version of a firework- when on the screen but the light still appeared in the sky while not viewing through the phone's screen. This might be a technical error with the phone while zooming in, but it happened several times. The lights disappeared, but I was still aware that whatever was making them was still present in the sky. I could hear no sounds that seemed out of the ordinary during this time.

On our way to the hockey game, about 7pm, as we we were getting on to 55 north from highway 270, there was a very fast moving bright green light that looked like it was heading towards the earth's surface. It was moving faster than anything I've ever seen before. It didn't appear to be very big.

HI thanks for letting me join the group I feel I saw a UFO last night ,as this bright light was NOT a aircraft. I tried to take a video and photos but it was hard. I let my dog out for a wee and was looking up to see what star constellation was above when it looked like one of the stars was moving, I rush indoors to get my camera, went back to the same spot and the light was still there so started videoing it as it was going from my right to my left I had a clear shoots of it, ,there was no sound no other lights flashing then it got to my left and then just went like the Bright light was turned off . was do have a few air craft fly over our area so I know they make a sound and have tail light and they do not vanish, it was traveling from NNW to wsw at 21.45 31/03/2019 uk Glastonbury.

Seattle, WA
My son and I had just gone for a bike ride around Greenlake in North Seattle because it was a very nice, clear afternoon. When we returned home a little before 6:00 PM, we were laying in the grass in the front yard looking up at the blue sky and noticed an faint object very high in the sky that was moving north to south at a slow speed. It had the appearance of a white point of light, like a satellite, but it was during the daytime. It appeared to be too high to be a commercial aircraft and it was moving too slow. I thought it might be a satellite also because it appeared to almost drift at times, but then I noted it would make sudden bursting movements. After a few minutes, my son noticed another object and it appeared the two objects were approaching each other. At that time, I called my wife and daughter outside and they could see the two objects as well. Eventually, the two objects came so close together they seemed to briefly merge. The two objects then separated and that’s when we saw the third object, but not before I saw a streak of light that resembled a faint meteor, streak near the objects. The three objects then held a tight triangular formation for a few minutes until their luminosity faded to the point where we couldn’t see them anymore. Afterwards, we all discussed what we saw and we all agreed we saw the same thing. This sighting was during broad daylight but one would have had to be looking straight up at the sky to see it, and even then you would have had to be focusing fairly intently to see and track the objects. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Mr. Davenport - The objects were too far/faint to show up with the cell phone camera. We tried with multiple devices but they just were not seen with the camera. I would provide the information I provided you to the local media if they were interested. But without video or pictures, I am not sure they would be interested. Thank you, ((name deleted)) ((END ADDENDUM))

I was sitting outside looking directly north and I seen what I initially looked like a missle. It traveled through the sky with a green streak following it as it dropped out of sight. 10 seconds Max

Alpine, UT
Looking out of the window at the eastern night sky, my husband saw a cluster of 50-60 lights that looked like stars, move westward over the mountain towards us. The cluster moved slowly and silently. We went outside to watch them as they stopped then moved north, the cluster shape changing. They slowed, then one by one the lights started moving south in a single file. The whole process took about 15 minutes until the lights were out of our line of sight. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

We saw a bright light moving laterally in the sky at a steady but moderate pace. It slowed down then reduced to a pinpoint of light as it stopped, then it disappeared.

Parkersburg, WV
At approximately 20:10, I saw a bright orange light appear on the horizon (which is a hilltop from my vantage point) at roughly 270 degrees. It rose into the sky and proceeded to move northeast. I would guess that it's altitude was at least 1000 feet. When it reached a bearing of about 30 degrees, another identical light rose, again at about 270 degrees, to approximately the same altitude and moving at about the same speed (as far as I could tell). I could perceive no noise from the lights; there was traffic moving on the road below me which was fairly noisy, but even when that fell quiet I could not hear any noise from the lights. The lights remained steady in color and intensity; I could observe no strobes nor navigation lights. The pattern of lights rising at 270 degrees an proceeding northeast continued for about 15 minutes. As they made their way northeast, their altitude varied, with the highest no more than 50% higher than the lowest. At least twice, two lights rose at the same time and separated somewhat as they moved northeast. My observation was interrupted for about 3 minutes, as I went inside to get my phone at about 20:15. I didn't have the presence of mind to keep a good count, but I know there were at least 10 lights, but more likely 12. I do have a few minutes of iPhone video, but it is too large to email conventionally - I'll attempt to send it via an iCloud dropbox.

I was riding passenger with boyfriend on Medical Center Pkway, by Burger Republic, when I saw a bright, white flash in the sky. It was oval shaped and then it disappeared. A few seconds later another bright white flash occurred, same shape. Then it flashes once more then nothing. It was a nice sunny day. (( Source of report indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD)

Atlanta, GA
Bluish-Green linear light moving at high rate of speed from east to west approximately 3 miles North of Hartsfield (Atlanta) Airport. Crossed path of commerial flights taking off from airport perpendicular to flight paths. So fast that it made commerial jets look motionless! I estimate altitude at approximately 1,000 feet.

Atlanta (downtown), GA
Stuck in downtown Atlanta morning traffic going 75 north, a blue light appears out of no where and darts across the dark sky. The light was bouncing up and down as if it was loosing control. Looked like someone’s headlight in the sky except it was a blue foggy light. Looked like the light was coming from behind clouds. Happened so fast all I could say was wowwww. Was not a plane. The light was to big and bouncing up and down while traveling at an unexplainable speed then disappeared out of nowhere.

Liberty Town, MD
I was driving on New Windsor Rd (31), towards New Windsor, at about 6:20am. There is farm land, with patches of trees, and a few houses around this route. I saw a single bright white light to my left. It was rounded, with no other discernable shape. I didn’t hear any noises. I’m not sure where it originated from as it appeared out of my blind spot when I noticed the light. I would have to guess about North/North-East. It made a quick descent at about a 90 degree, and then curved back to being straight. The best way I can describe the flight pattern is by saying it flew the path of an old metal slide facing away from you. It disappeared in the tree line.

Cornish, NH
A very bright white light traveling roughly east to west. No trail noted. I did not hear a any sound over the radio in my vehicle. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Peter, It seemed to be a bit larger than the stars I can view from home, definitely not as large as the moon. I was driving my pick up truck, I would estimate about a 20-30 degree arc. Mount Ascutney peak would be at roughly 45 degrees or less. At this time of day the sky is getting bright enough to obscure most of the fainter stars. I have observed the ISS in full dark. This was moving much faster than that. This was about 1/2 mile north of the Cornish/ Windsor covered bridge on route 12A. On the New Hampshire side of the CT river. I will attempt to snap a photo in the morning of my view in that area.

I had a terrible anxious feeling while streaming Youtube, and suddenly turned it off . Almost immediately afterwords, a light seemed to appear over the house, (where there are no lights, this is out in the rural valley). It was so bright that it completely flooded the room and had the color of a fluorescent bulb. My partner came into the room, and we stood to look out the window together. The light came and went along with green and blue lights and a small amount of red light. We opened the window to see if we could hear anything, and there were rumbling sounds that were like distant thunder (but constant), and then a very loud zapping sound, as if from an electric wire snapping and what appeared to be flashes like sparks above the house. Several more times the bright flashes of colors and white light appeared until we ran out of the room to wake up my family. By the time they came to look, there was no sign of any lights, any sounds whatsoever and the sky appeared to be a pink color. (this was at night) We were initially worried a transformer exploded somewhere or that there was an attack or something. It was snowing at the time, but no reports of thunder/lighting or any grid issues in the area. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Thanks a bunch! I also decided that you are free to use my name for this report. I'm having my boyfriend submit one when he gets home. Also, of note: Just found out that all of our power sources are buried out there, so it couldn't be a transformer blowing. Also, my father heard the loud zapping noise from the other side of the house, but couldn't see the lights from where he was. ((END ADDENDUM)) We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she seemed to us to be quite sincere, and sober-minded. We suspect that she is a highly reliable witness. PD

It was late night, and I was walking into my partner's room to lay down. Upon entering the room, she told me she had seen a bright light shining into the room and was abnormally concerned. I turned to look out into the back yard, and within seconds, a bright light shifting from green, blue, white and then a small flash of red. It lasted between 1-3 seconds and was incredibly bright. We threw open the window and tried to listen for any noise or to see anything. There was a low grumbling noise similar to rolling thunder, and within a few moments, another multicolored bright flash lit the sky and backyard. This time, late in the flash a sharp, electric buzzing noise chimed in and gradually faded away along with the light. Shocked, my partner ran to wake her siblings while I watched the window, and then met up with her father. Upon going outside to inspect the sky there were no more flashes, but after the incident, there remained a red tinted glow in the horizon! for an extended period of time.
