Saw the same thing again tonight as I did 4 days ago. Bright flash, then very dim, like a dim satellite, then bright flash again. Tonight I used my binoculars after the 3rd flash but didn't see the object again. I checked to see if it could be the ISS but the site says it will be at 0430 and moving N to S. This object moves W to E.

We see many planes (commercial flights, small planes, helicopters) day and night because it is a much used flight path and our view is perfect. Most planes make a turn towards T.F. Green and a few go over our house and head towards Logan Airport. At that point there was a bright flash of light much closer to us than the plane we were watching. There were a total of 4 flashes each 1 second apart, the sighting lasted only 4 seconds then it was out of our area of sight. The flashes stayed in a straight line across the sky. The 1st bright flash of white light got our attention. The 2nd flash, one second later appeared in the sky an impossible distance from the first flash, and so on for the 3rd and 4th flashes. The distance traveled in the one second between flashes is impossible to get our minds around. We did not see an actual object creating the flashes. In between the flashes of light there was no object visible in the sky. Almost like it was invisible except for the bright white flashes. The time and distance were the same each time. One second with a "measured giant jump" each 1 second apart traveling in a straight horizontal line. It took only 4 flashes and 4 seconds to cover the entire horizon within our view. As opposed to the planes we see daily, which take about 1.5 to 2 minutes to travel the same distance. Luckily we were both watching the plane before the flash of light, so we saw the sighting together. We were both a bit stunned and puzzled and after those 4 seconds, looked at each other and said, "Hey did you see that too?" We're thankful we saw this together.

I was sitting in my living room, and noticed flashing lights outside of my window. At first I assumed it was just lightning, but lightning usually doesn't flash non-stop for hours at a time. I walked outside to find the source of the flashing light, thinking maybe it was a tow truck or something. Upon walking outside, there was no apparent source of the flashing lights. I looked up but clouds were blocking any chance of me being able to distinguish what was causing the flashing. My dog, who usually runs to the door when asked if she wants to go out, refused to leave the house, even when bribed with treats.

To make things short. That plasma ship pulsed one time 4 feet above my head. I was alone but there was people about 50 yards from me doing their own things. Then all of a sudden it seemed like a spotlight was on me from above out of nowhere. I quickly look up and about four feet right above my head there was a pulse. Like a fireworks explosion. But this firework was so perfect. I was so star struck. It was like looking at a controlled star. There was no smoke. The absolute perfection of each burst syncing with the sound. Each burst all them synchronized in a burst like it was controlled magnetized plaza. It all was like something said to me, hey check out my perfect firework. I think I witnessed that orange star like plasma ufo right above me. I couldn't see through the ship. I couldn't speak for about a day right afterwards. oh, and as soon as it pulsed fireworks type of exploded above me I looked around quickly to see if anybody else had saw it and no one else was looking, they saw nothing. Then I looked up and the there was nothing there, no smoke. Then I looked up in the sky and it really seemed like I saw a firefly fly and turn while lit up. I couldn't tell if that was a fire white light type of firefly that was just yards from me or something way up in the sky. The burst was like lightning electricity branching perfectly each burst all forming a mandala and all synchronized with the crackling sound it made. Eah crackle each burst, billions. That was no manmade firework that exploded right above my head. This entire occurrence that happened to me has been on my mind and is now apart of me in different ways.

Kingman, AZ
While taking my pre-dawn morning walk in Kingman, Arizona, I witnessed this incident at 0428 hr PST. My Coordinates at time of sighting: LAT N 35 degrees, 11’ 3” / LONG W 113 degrees, 59’ 53” While I was walking due north, I witnessed a bright, quick “white” flash high & to the east of me approx. 70 degrees up from the horizon to the left of the star Mirach in the constellation Andromeda. This flash was the size of the planet Venus which was directly below it. I first thought that it was tumbling space debris so I fixed my sight there. Approx. 10 seconds later it flashed again. It seemed to be in the same location as the last flash so I trained my eye to see if I can locate this objects faint trajectory. I could not see one. For the next 5 minutes (approx.) this bright white flash continued at about 10 -20 seconds apart. The object was moving but it seemed to only move 5-10 degrees in between flashes. It stayed within the area of Mirach and then finally stopped. This sighting was unusual in that 2 days later, at the same time of the morning, I witnessed this object again, but this time it was being chased by a faint object that I will file in the next report dated 07/06/17 @ approx. 0430 hrs..

Aledo, TX
I woke up in early morning to go to bathroom as usual. Outside the window, a bright star caught my eyes. Then I noticed it’s not like a star, it’s about 10 times bigger than stars. I never saw a big star at that spot. I looked steadily at it. It seems getting bigger and bigger and moving towards me. There’s red lights flashing around the lower right. This is definitely not a star. It’s on the east side of sky. It’s just hanging in there till the sun comes up and no longer can be seen In the bright blue sky.

Clear Lake, SD
My girlfriend and I were driving back from clear lake towards Watertown, when we saw a very bright light moving at an extremely fast speed dip down and disappear in a flash. We thought it could of been a shooting star, but after mentally replaying that orbits behavior we firmly believe it was something extraterrestrial Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information.

Bagley, WI
There was little light pollution and it was a very dark night. We had been seeing strange moving lights and then on June 8th 2017 we noticed a very bright flashing light that had no regular pattern. There had never been any tower or anything in that area where we observed the light. It changed in intensity and color also. This light was visible for again on the following night. It seemed to move closer and side to side up and down and further away also. We took video each night. We lost our google account password where the video of the object was stored and recently regained access to it. It was visible for several hours both nights and never again. The light was so bright at times it almost blinded a person to look at it.

I started taking landscape type photos from the top of the dunes, but then noticed a twinkling light approximately 200 yards out to sea. It was small and approximately mid way between my viewpoint and the coastal village of Sangatte. I drew my wife's attention to it and we could not understand what it was. I took my second camera with a long zoom lens and looked at it. The image seen was two orange balls, twinkling, and something connecting them, which appeared to be twinkling. At no time did the object move either up or down or in any direction. At first my wife thought it was a light placed on top of Dover Castle, however it was the wrong direction and coastal haze prevented viability further than a few miles out to sea. The object continued to twinkle for a period of about 5 minutes. I took a number of photographs, the object appeared to be changing shape, with the two objects seeming to merge into one, which had a distinct saucer shape. After which the object seemed to disappear. My initial landscape photos were taken with a different camera, fitted with a wide angled lens. On studying these pictures, there appears to be a disturbance in the sky where the object appeared. I take pictures in both jpeg and raw. The images I am sending you are jpeg images which are slightly over exposed due to the brightness of the sun. The raw files I have contain about three times the information of jpegs, these have not been touched so far.

Lake St. Louis, MO
My uncle and I were driving to leave St. Louis to go fishing, when we saw what looked like a grayish bluish shape, traveling extremely fast above us on the horizon. It was traveling at least 5 to 10 times faster than any chat can travel. It appeared in front of us for only a couple seconds before disappearing. It was very low on the horizon and quite close. It couldn't have been a "shooting star" as it was much much too close to the ground. But it clearly was not an airplane. Neither of us have any idea what it was.

Flashing light again seen observed from back of home. Light darting behind garage, some 25 feet from my vantage point. I remained observant. After making several appearances above roof of garage, light appeared to rest on metal roof of garage where it remained 3-4 minutes. Light suddenly ascended into sky vertically. It was at this moment I detected a rain drop on my arm. Rain ensued. This is the 4th day out of five that these lights have been in this area. I failed to mention in report of 4-11-17 that the lights blink intermittently, without a particular rhythm. When object rested on garage roof it appeared to be very small, as in less than 3 inches wide as an overhead security light illuminated the area. It is cool outside, way too early for fireflies.

I was outside, and all of a sudden I see this craft flying through the air very low. Plus it was very quiet and low, but there are no airports near by, well not in a 5 mile radius.

Sylvester, GA
While traveling north on Highway 33, I noticed what seemed to be a falling star. Being that I've seen a ton of falling stars before, I expected this one to fade out. It didn't fade immediately. The altitude of this object was much lower than any falling star I've seen. Once I had my eyes locked on it, it sped across a field. It disappeared briefly, and out of nowhere, it was on the other side of the field. It then change direction in mid flight, and zoomed back in the opposite direction. I lose sight of it after that.
