Wilmington, NC
AT 2:45AM ON THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28TH, I WOKE UP AND WAS LOOKING STRAIGHT OUT MY SLIDING GLASS DOOR. I SAW WHAT LOOKED LIKE AN AIRPLANE COMING STRAIGHT TOWARD MY WINDOW, COMING OUT OF THE SSW. MY ROOM IS ON THE 3RD LEVEL OF THE HOUSE AND THE HOUSE SETS MAYBE 10 FT ABOVE SEA LEVEL. THE OBJECT LOOKED TO BE ABOUT THE SIZE OF A PROP JET BASED ON THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE TWO LIGHTS. I RAN TO THE DOOR AND WHEN I GOT TO THE DOOR THE LIGHTS THAT WERE, UP UNTIL THAT POINT, PARALLEL TO THE GROUND SWITCHED TO BEING PERPENDICULAR TO THE GROUND, BUT THE SAME DISTANCE WAS BETWEEN THEM. AT FIRST GLANCE IT LOOKED LIKE THE PLANE HAD BANKED AND STARTED FLYING TO MY LEFT OR SSE. I THEN OPENED THE DOOR AND WALKED OUTSIDE. ONCE OUTSIDE, I REALIZED I HEARD NO NOISE. I COULD NOT MAKE OUT ANY CRAFT BETWEEN THE LIGHTS. I STOOD THERE APPROXIMATELY 60 SEC WATCHING AS THE LIGHTS MOVED VERY SLOWLY IN THE SSE DIRECTION. MAYBE MOVING APPROX 75-100YDS IN THE 60 OR SO SECONDS I STOOD THERE AND THEY WERE STILL IN PLAIN SIGHT WHEN I WENT BACK INSIDE. I DID NOT WAIT TIL THEY WERE OUT OF SIGHT. THE LIGHTS WERE NOT BLUE WHITE LIKE THE STARS BUT MORE OF A CANDLELIGHT COLOR EACH LIGHT WAS IN SIZE APPROXIMATELY THE SIZE OF 1/10TH OF A FULL MOON. EACH WAS MUCH MUCH BIGGER THAN ANY STARS OR PLANETS I CAN SEE. IT WAS NOT DIFFICULT AT ALL TO KEEP IN SIGHT. IT HOVERED ROUGHLY 30FT OFF THE GROUND. MY NAME IS ((female name deleted)) I AM 57 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE NEVER WITNESSED ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE.

Cape Coral, FL
At approximately 7:35 pm this evening, on 2/27/2019, my wife and I both noticed an unusual orange rapidly blinking light dropping very fast out of the sky at a unique downward angle (we see lots of planes RSW airport nearby). The blinking orange light then made a swift downward 45-degree change in the opposite direction and went behind a small cloud. We both stopped dead in our tracks to see this object return again from the cloud, but it never came out of the small cloud. We stood there approximately five more minutes and only noticed the normal planes coming in and out of Fort Myers airport. There was a drone flying in the area during the time of the sighting, and what we saw was not a drone. The blinking light we saw did not match the speed or appearance of which this drown was flying. The blinking light also did not match the speed or presence of any airplanes flying in the area as well.

Kula, HI
The lights of about 6 were oval and moving from a very large ring that was circling closer to me to a smaller ring of circular lights further from me in a regular pattern and formation. I could only see a portion of the circle when it was large and close to me. The lights were behind clouds and at first I thought it was lightning without thunder. But the movement was unnatural and appeared manufactured as the movement had a consistent timing. It lasted about what seemed to be five to ten minutes then suddenly all the lights converged into a central tiny circle of lights and disappeared. It was in the direction of Keokea and Wailea which is to say just south of me in Kula. The light pattern moved over a fairly large portion of the sky in an east west arc of between 45 degrees and 100 degrees with 90 being directly overhead of me.

Seminole, OK
Last night around 01:19 there was a very loud humming outside my window, i got curious and decided to investigate. Before i opened my blinds to peer out into the field that is behind my window there was loud forceful gushes of wind, this i didn't think much if due to the fact that i live in Oklahoma. I quickly opened my blinds and in the middle of the field there was a blindingly bright green light low to the ground that looked to just be hovering that stayed there for anywhere between six to twenty seconds. The craft then seemed to vanish as if it was dissolving and flying towards the sky quickly to the right at a diagonal. After seeing the craft i began to try to sleep but the humming sound outside of my window wouldn't stop and it felt as if i was being watched though i felt very calm paranoidia set in.

Very bright white light flashed and shot to the north. Followed by another Bright white light that flashed above the Ninnescah River and shot north. I noticed another two people in the truck next to me pointing at it.

Mount Juliet, TN
On Feb. 24th, 2019 at about 8:25 PM CST I stepped out to the back patio for a smoke. I sat down and was looking at the stars which I hadn't seen in awhile due to all the rain we've had. I noticed 4 amber lights moving as fast as a shooting star across the sky. They were spaced evenly between them, did not make any sound, and were heading northwest in direction. I did not have enough time to retrieve my cell phone and it probably wouldn't have captured it. Within 4 seconds, the lights had traveled out of sight. I would say they were below 2,500 ft altitude. I live in a townhome complex and there are single story units behind mine looking west. The lights appeared over me, and were past the roofline of the other townhomes in the 4 seconds before being out of view. I live close to the Nashville airport and there were plenty of aircraft visible at the time.

Le 24 février 2019 un témoin regarde la télévision et profite de la séquence de publicité pour fermer les volets de son séjour. Après une 1ère observation en 2016, il a pris l'habitude de regarder le ciel. Il regarde donc le ciel vers 18h43 et observe un point lumineux qui change de couleur en restant fixe. Il prend des photos et pense qu'il y a quelque chose d'anormal. A 19h19, il arrête son observation, jugeant qu'il a assez de preuves (31 photos et 5 vidéos sont prises). Aucun autre témoignage n'est recueilli. Ce cas s’avère être une méprise certaine avec l’étoile Sirius (voir le compte rendu d'enquête). Le PAN présente en effet tous les aspects d’une méprise avec Sirius : longue durée d’observation par beau temps, aspect stellaire du PAN à grossissement normal, astre brillant et scintillements colorés. De plus, la position de Sirius correspond parfaitement à celle du PAN, tant en azimut (1° d’écart seulement d’après le témoignage) qu’en hauteur angulaire. Il est à noter que pour cette dernière, le témoin l’estime à 30°, mais que son croquis montre qu’elle était vraisemblablement d’une quinzaine de degrés. De plus, l’étoile Sirius est la seule à présenter une grande variété de couleurs, comme ce qui peut être vu sur les vidéos et photos du PAN, lors de ses scintillements. La position basse de Sirius par rapport à l’horizon accentue ses scintillements. Le cas est classé A, méprise avec l’étoile Sirius. [GEIPAN classification A — Sirius]

San Diego, CA
Looking from ground level, south, a large white object moving south and then curving west over and away from the area of USMC aircraft base Mira Mar. Compared to the sun, very small point of bright white, a bit of a cigar shape, moving slowly. When a black helicopter, no markings, no numbers passed by at approx 1000 ft. moving ese approx 100 mph. As I scanned the area I saw a jet fighter contrail, could be F-14, F18 or 22, as we have Naval aviation here as well as USMC. This fighter was approaching the area of the Mira Mar base, fast, approx 1,200 mph or more towards the area of this object on a ese heading, approx 10,000 ft or higher, it would be 5 minutes, as the object curved to the west approaching the Pacific ocean, then disappeared from view. Thanks for taking my call.

Freehold, NJ
From my bed I could see 7 orange balls of light moving slowly from south to northwest at around 11:40PM on 2/23/19. I got up and opened the window and continued to watch the lights move slowly for another 2 minutes or so. There were 2 groups of 3 and a single one that was trailing behind. After that they seemed to disappear into the cloud cover.

Little Lorraine (Canada), NS · Canada
Saturday Feb 23rd 19:55 hrs Direction NNW-NNE This evening, myself and my husband were standing outside with our two dogs giving them a bathroom break. It was a very clear sky, no cloud coverage, all stars were visible. We are in the country so the night sky is quite clear to us. We were standing together chatting about a game we were playing, when off to my right and up just slightly above the tree line, I noticed a bright orange light in the sky, I nudged him and was just about to say “look a plane,” when the light went bright red then back to orange again. We were both looking directly at it and my husband said, “What is that?” As we both watched, it proceeded up into the air at about a 15 degree ascension. Moving fast through the sky from a NNW to a NNE direction, at one point, the bright light disappeared, and we then could see what appeared to be a very bright, orange flame coloured streak going across the sky. The streak seemed to consist of either flames (I say flames because we saw actual sparks) or a laser like trail in the sky. I find it hard to actually describe it in words. We noticed the flames were very thin, and very very straight in the air. Then the streak slowly vanished or burnt out. It was as if the light had streaked through the air then vanished and all that was left was the propulsion burn off. We both ran with our dogs to the back of the house to see if we could see it in the distance, or see if it would reappear, but it had totally vanished in about 6 to 7 seconds. If we had our backs turned we would have missed it completely. It was traveling very fast, very silent, and it felt like it would have been easy to miss if we were not in the right place at the right time. There was also no smell of smoke or anything strange in the air that would suggest flames or burnt fuel. We both commented on the strange feeling we had watching it, and how incredibly fast this thing was moving. Our Background - My husband was An Emergency management worker/supervisor for 20 years, in Toronto, Ontario, I am retired after completing 22 years in the Canadian armed forces, 10 in the Air Force and 12 in the Navy. While in the Airforce I was stationed at 407 Squadron and am quite familiar with planes in the day and night. We both retired to Nova Scotia in 2010.

Tolar, TX
Three flashing lights appeared through a fog in the Northwest over Tolar Texas, Highway 377. At first, we though it was lightening or fireworks on the horizon. They flashed on and off in a regular pattern slightly north of Hwy 377. They passed quickly and silently over our car. My daughter caught the last seconds as it disappeared behind some trees. There were no green or red lights only very bright, white lights shining equally behind and in front. I would like to know what it was.

Albuquerque, NM
Let me start off by saying I am a firm believer that there is some weird ((deleted--stuff)) going on call it aliens or whatever but I'm a 19 year old native of Albuquerque, New Mexico, so I have heard the UFO stories of Roswell and other UFO stories that birth from New Mexico, but this one I was able to experience first-hand and up close. this was the scariest thing i have experienced but it has left me wondering if anyone else witnessed this. At about 11:00 p.m through 12:00 a.m February 19, 2019, (Just Last night) in Albuquerque I noticed a formation of three dots starting on the Northwest side of our Mountains (Sandia Mountains). As I stared closer these dots were actually moving simultaneously south going along the base of the mountains. These lights were the brightest lights in the city so I thought maybe a search party along the mountains or something with a logical explanation but the longer I stared the more intrigued I became at how they were just able to float and connect to each other in synchronicity, so I got in my truck and drove up Paseo Del Norte eastbound towards the Sandias where the lights were floating and slowly moving. As I got closer to the lights they became almost mesmerizing and bear with me but seemed like an acid trip or some sort of hallucinogenic matrix within those light formations but the even weirder part is once I was at the street, Louisiana, still going up Paseo, it started to smell so foul almost like rotten eggs or rotting bodies, this was a clear indicator that whatever was up on those mountains was creating some sort of disgusting gas or odor which made me almost delusional and confused. I immediately turned around and went home to get my brother so I could have a witness. (My iPhone 6s could not pick up ((deleted--stuff)) on the camera). After picking up my brother from the west-side of town, we drove to a small hill that overlooks the city and fair enough the lights were there and moving pretty close to were the Sandia Casino is and at that point I had enough and went home. There is a YouTube video: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEHxfKn6dVo&list=LLp59OiX9hU9cvilK9Ckf3bw&t=0s&index=3) The video shows 2 lights that are exactly like one of the many bright lights I saw last night. I'm glad I found this video since I was not able to get a video or a picture of the actual event. Another statement to add was that these lights started on the north side of the bas! e of the mountain and 'floated' to the south side of the base of that mountain in such a strange manner, almost like the way programs can stack on top of each other on a computer. Like if there is a virus spamming a bunch of programs on a computer. It may be smart to add that there is a military base on the south side area where the UFO's were floating to (Kirtland Air-force Base, Manzano Base)

Farr West, UT
My wife and I both saw 8 orange, glowing lights moving southwest to northeast. It was windy, dark, and lightly snowing. At first, we thought it was an airplane, but the lights were not blinking and there was no noise. Then we thought maybe a comet or meteorite etc… but the lights were moving at a consistent speed and in a straight path across the sky with no trailing tail etc… We also ruled out a flare. There were two glowing, orange lights that moved across the sky together then suddenly vanished like a flame going out. Then about 30 second later two new lights appeared where the original two first appeared then traveled along the exact same path and vanished at the same point. This happened two more times. The only thing west of us is the Great Salt Lake and the Utah west desert.

Clinton, NY
Looked out window before going to bed to see three lights high in the sky southwest of my location. They seemed to be dancing...almost like magnets, attracting and repelling one another in what seemed from my vantage point to be close proximity to one another. I watched, left the window then came back 30 minutes later to see they had moved left of where I had originally seen them. They were still doing the dance. I did not stay up to see how long they stayed there.

Vancouver, WA
On Feb. 13, 2019, at around 9:00 PM, at our home in West Vancouver, WA, my wife called me on her way back home to check out the two bright lights in the Eastern sky. My daughter and I went out side and saw the two bright round amber lights moving to the South at a slow speed. They were brighter than stars or planets or airplane lights. They were about the size of a street light as seen from a block away. They disappeared in a few minutes heading South East. A guy in the neighborhood was waking his dogs and also stopped by to share what we were seeing. He said that he had taken a video with his phone to verify what we saw. We spoke with the source of this report, and we found him to be both quite eloquent, and seemingly quite credible. We suspect that he is a very good, and reliable, witness. PD

Auburn, WA
I live about 10 Miles from Sea-Tac Airport in the Auburn, Washington Valley. At 12:08AM on 2/13/2019, I stepped outside, and I saw a light above Federal Way - above the end of Sea-Tac Airport. At first I thought it was a Helicopter Headlight shining toward my direction, or the Moon. A plane was taking off from the South end of the Airport - heading in the direction of the ball of light. Within 200 yards of the plane hitting the ball of light the light/object phased out into blackness. At first I thought it was the Moon, or a Helicopter, because the light was so big and bright. After investigating the Moon over the last few days, I came to the conclusion it couldn't have been the Moon, and a Helicopter would not have turned its lights off in the path of a jetliner?
