Toms River, NJ

Went toward ground with a beam seeming to contain two travelers. I freaked out and turned around in my car. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Came out of the south headed north. At one point there was a group of them-about 7. Then they continued to appear in single form-but was followed by 2-3 behind them. They were moving fast, but not record breaking fast.

Delmar, MD

The object was a blue sphere which flashed brightly at 10 second intervals. When the object flashed, it was visible when the light went out it was not visible. It was flying very fast about 30 feet high off the ground. It traveled over Line Road, then turned right into a wooded area, flashing one time in the woods then it came out of the woods and flew over a field still flashing at 10 second intervals. Then it sped up and flew out of sight at a very high rate of speed continuing to flash until it was out of sight.

Greenwich, CT

Bright light was not moving. I watched for 30 seconds. Walked about half a block and returned within a minute. It was still there. Starting filming and took some not very clear pictures. After ten minutes, I went to bed. We suspect a sighting of one of the three planets, which currently are quite prominent in the eastern morning sky. PD

St. Paul (around), MN

Was driving home on 494W after leaving Perkins (off France St), and saw a Huge Circle shape (Left of Highway). It had several faded lights creating this circle, and it looked as though it was in a cloud or fog. It was not moving. I was driving, - so I called my cousin who was driving a mile or two behind me. She saw it too. There was a recent bad car accident, so I was unable to pull over anywhere to take a photo safely. I saw an airplane flying (at airport) and it was TINY compared to this object. We suspect that the display is the result of advertising lights, projected from a local casino. PD

Salem, NH

I was sitting in my car in the parking lot of a Red Roof Inn. Despite the fog and low cloud deck, a bright white circular object zigzagged very quickly in the sky, just northwest of me. The circle would stop, then a minute or two later resume for several minutes. I cannot be positive of the exact beginning and ending time, but I am very sure that nothing man-made could produce a similar viewing. The object moved very quickly and erratically, unlike a light of sort, and too severely to have been a drone. If there was a solid object, it was completely surrounded by the round white ball of light. ((ADDENDUM FROM SOURCE OF REPORT)) Hi Peter; I may have erroneously hit RI as the state---- this sighting was in Salem, NH. I'm sorry I didn't have my phone with me to take some video. Thanks, ((name deleted)) ((END ADDENDUM))

Minneapolis, MN

Monday evening I witnessed the same ring of lights recently reported in Minneapolis, MN. My guess is these lights are being beamed from Mystic Lake Casino in Shakopee, MN. Interesting as the photograph currently on your home page is identical to my sighting on Monday. Although I've never seen these lights in the past, Mystic Lake beams other lights into the sky, as well. We agree with the assessment by the witness. PD

Port Angeles, WA

It looked just like the other stars, but was moving faster than a satellite in a straight line from South to Northeast. No blinking lights. I kept watching its progress for about 20 seconds when - it exploded! This was a bright, white light that shot out maybe 200 times larger than the 'star'. The flash was not uniform in shape, nor was there any 'roundness' to this flash. It was lopsided with huge, sharp spikes radiating outward. This flash lasted less than a breath. The 'star' continued its same path for maybe 3 seconds and then simply disappeared.

Gaylord, MI

It was just like any other Sunday evening in Northern Michigan...... A few of my family members were coming home from town, they live approx. a mile from my house. Upon passing my driveway (opposite my driveway in a farm field), my sister, and her 2 year old daughter saw a large craft with blinking lights hovering in a field about 50 ft above ground level. When they reached their house they called and texted me to ask me if I was flying my drone, although my sister said she already knew the answer, as the craft was far too large to be mistaken for a drone. My niece was rambling on for hours after seeing the UFO. I don't know if I would believe anyone's account of this craft more than my sister, and niece. They sent a video of my niece running and rambling around, whilst my sister and her husband asked if it was an airplane..... or a drone... to each my niece would say "no... or kinda but different" Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Merritt Island, FL

I was sitting in the car at my boyfriend's work waiting for him to go on break. At about 8:39, I noticed a green light fly somewhat slowly past the cruise ships. I figured it was a plane due to how high up it was. So I just brushed it off. About 10 minutes later I noticed it again this time coming from the way it just came from. Now I was getting curious as to what would be out here like this at this time of night. I saw it go by a couple more times. My boyfriend came out for his break and I was telling him about it. He didn't believe me until I said look, it's right there. It was now facing us about 750 away but just hovering. As my boyfriend pulled out the camera the object turned. I don't know if it spun around or what but it turned red. The lights we.t Dr on green to red quickly. It hovered there for a while. A good 5 minutes. But the thing is, when we went to drive away to go get somebody, it started flying away, this time very quickly. There was a mini-van parked about 100 feet away that were standing there watching right along with us. We did end up getting a man standing next to my boyfriend's work that also works there and he saw it too. I had never believed in Aliens until August 23, 2015!!

Warsaw, KY

Dad went outside at 2:45am and saw 2 white circle lights, me my mom and a friend went to see and we stood for about 15-20mins watching one light chase the other almost dancing, when 2 more showed up, no identifiable pattern, movements varied it speed and direction, they did figure eights, zig zags, fade in and out, it's a warm humid summer night, the lights danced on a layer of thin clouds, but you could also see stars crescent moon out, they cross crosses all over the sky , we were up on the top of a big hill full view all around, it almost seemed like the lights were shining down from above the clouds, the mist would have revealed if the lights were shown from below...never seen anything like it

Burlington (Canada), ON · Canada

At around 10:30 pm, I went I to my balcony of my apartment, 3 floors up. Over a horizon of trees, I noticed 5 red balls hovering/moving fairly slowly in the sky, and then another 5 followed and so on until about 20 went by. They moved super slow and a couple just vanished into no where. It's like the light just went out. As well, as most of them changed a formation to a triangle, 1 at the top, 2 at the base. Just before they stopped, my dog then came outside and staring peeing everywhere... He has never peed on my balcony a day in his life. And I ran down stairs to see more then my boyfriend said that there was 3 more that went by as I was trying to get downstairs to see. After we noticed a couple planes going by that we normally don't see many.

Juneau, AK

We were on a cruise heading north of Juneau and asked the front desk to notify us if the captain saw the northern lights. As the two of us gazed into the sky looking for the lights, we saw a light in a sky and it moved very quickly in a line heading south and then quickly go in an angle and disappear into the sky within seconds. We have never seen anything move so quickly in the sky. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Dubai (United Arab Emirates), United Arab Emirates

Okay, so the first time this happened it was about 2-3 weeks ago. I was sitting in my office and we are on the 26th floor. About 45cms to my right are these massive glass window frames with a very open view of hard sand below us for about 1km and then there's a canal that leads on in 3 different directions, past the canal are roads and about 4 buildings under construction (They are much smaller than our buildingg), and right after that is a highway. Basically between my building and the ones under construction there's a whole lot of space. So a few weeks ago I happened to look out my window and saw a round thick shadow that came from over my building heading in the direction of the highway. So I quickly looked up in the sky and saw nothing. A little shocked at first I decided to ignore it. Then today, from the exact same spot, passing the same(if not very similar) route it came from the first time, I saw it again. This time I decided to stand up and look properly. I stood so close to the window my face was barely an inch from it. The sun is out, not a cloud in sight and this shadow just hovering by! I lose sight of it once it reaches the highway since it's quite far but judging by the size and clearness of the shadow, it was quite close... I personally have no clue what this means. Looking at my surroundings it cannot be anything around me. Especially something that passes all that way till even past the highway(Highway is about 15kms from my building) in a matter of 5 seconds. I did not see a thing in the sky, I was in complete shock seeing a shadow formed from nothing, I could not even call people around me because by the time they reached it would be gone and they'd think I was crazy. I figured I'd share this experience with you, this has been my second sighting and I will be updating you if I see anything else.

We went outside at 11:00pm, on 08/19/2015, there were strange red orange flashing lights disappearing and reappearing. They were in sky for about 15 minutes or more. I took a few pictures with my phone and one of the pictures shows 4 round objects 3 are like yellow greenish and 1 red object on one of the objects. It showed a strange figure, like really strange. I can't believe what I see in this picture. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous. PD

Stanton, DE

We saw a bright light moving slowly across the north east sky. It was flying south. There were no flashing lights, like on every airplane that flies around here. When it disappeared, we saw another light flash quickly and only once in the north eastern skyline. The light had a vary distinguished shape to it. It was circular with dark spots inside the light, I can draw what I saw but don't know how to explain it in words. After that light, we saw another light with no flashing lights,vary high in the south eastern skyline. It moved from south to north vary quickly. We then saw two flashes of light similar to the one I explained already. It was quick flash with the same shape as the other one. The entire event took place in less than 7 mins.

Cedar Rapids, IA

At 23:00 last night I was sitting on our deck looking at the stars when I noticed a very bright orange light, at approximately 12: o’clock position in the northern sky, moving slowly from NW to SE. Upon looking at this through binoculars it appeared to be a cluster of smaller orange lights, but very intense. I also asked my son to look at this and using binoculars he verified seeing the same thing. As we watched it changed direction and headed more directly SE, over Cedar Rapids. A side view appeared to have the orange lights in the front and smaller white trailing lights along the bottom. It moved out of view and then disappeared.
