Louisburg, KS
My buddy and I were driving home from band practice. A few nights before we had noticed a strange flashing light in the sky close to where we were so we dove to the same spot. When I looked in to the sky there it was again. A white and red flashing ball of light. The lights pulsed on and off rapidly and very bright. The lights were hovering in place. I stopped the car to observe them and it started to slowly glide away towards us. I turned the car around and began to follow it. It picked up speed and started to rise in altitude. As we drove behind it it rapidly flew away. The first night we saw it there were jets chasing it. Two jets flew at it in a triangle pattern. One flew away and one followed the lights. The light moved fast and did what I would call warped away. A bright light flashed from nowhere near the jet. The jet flew up and into the clouds as to escape I assumed. It was all very strange but me and my buddy saw this happen.

Indian Springs, NV
Driving home on November 1, 2018, on highway 95. Spotted some strange lights in the air above Creech Air Force Base, Indian Springs, Nevada. The lights just hovered in a straight line for a few minutes. I pulled my vehicle over and took some video of it.

driving down the road and saw two extremely bright lights very close to each other, lights then faded until they disappeared, about 30 to 45 seconds later the lights came back on and backwards dimmed would be the best word i could describe. They dimmed from very very low brightness to extremely bright where they were radiating and reflecting light with streaks coming off of them it was brighter than anything I've ever seen before. The lights then we're stationary and completely disappeared like they were turned off. After the Lights disappeared 3 airplanes we're flying at a rapid speed and making maneuvers in a zigzag motion. I've seen this motion before since I was in airforce for eight and a half years, all three aircraft were doing maneuvers in the shape of a Z. We spoke via telephone with the source of the report, and he seemed to us to be quite sincere and sober-minded. PD

Ft. Lauderdale, FL
On the way back home we saw nothing that looked like it and there were strange vehicles and cop cars all near the area where we saw them. Witness provides a photo, which indicates three brightly lighted objects, against a dark night sky. However, the lights are blurred and "smeared" in the photo. PD

Beamsville (Canada), ON · Canada
Going to school, I saw a very bright light shining in the sky. It was on my left side as the car turned the light had shifted all the way over to my left side again. The light then started to fade and i saw a egg type shape it was grey and not large. As the car turned again, the egg started following from behind. As the car went into a large forest area, the object disappeared.

Latchi, Paphos District, Cyprus
The villa we stayed in was North facing as previously stated. To the east of us were mountain ranges. Every night we observed the most amazing lightning storms we've ever seen. This 1 particular night my mum was sat out on the terrace, (i'm not going to lie she'd had a few) when she shouted "is that Mars?" I immediately went outside to observe a bright solid red ball of light, looked like a traffic light color but really bright to the north of us. At this point I shouted my wife and 4 children out. This is when it changed from red to green, again like a traffic light color. Then it went back to red, green, red, green, red. It wasn't stationery it was sort of floating around from side to side. We observed this for at least 8 mins. Whilst this was happening to the east of us, out of the corner of your eye you could see thunderstorms rolling off the mountains. This is when the light moved slowly and steadily eastwards towards the thunderstorm. As it arrived at the thunderstorm it disappeared into the cloud but then reappeared at the very edge of the cloud, this is when it started pulsating white really fast. This is happening constantly whilst lightning is striking. After roughly 2 minutes it stopped flashing and started switching between red, green again as it moved again steadily, west back to roughly the same position I first saw it in. Then it dropped really fast towards the sea, however I didn't see it make contact with the sea as the view was obstructed by small buildings.

Newburgh, IN
This is the second time I have seen it in the last two years. My dogs always wake me up around 4 a.m. to go out. Both sighting have been the same. They are circular lights that have multiple colors. The object appears to barely move and I am unsure of the distance. Object was north of Newburgh but I am not sure how far. Just like the last time, I was observing it an it did not fly away it just disappeared. They were airplanes in the sky, they had to have seen it.

Rice, WA
I was watching the stars and noticed one of the "stars" started moving slowly. After about 6" of travel (from my perspective) it disappeared. I am always looking for satellites, but this object was definitely still, then moved slowly and then vanished. I'm reminded of the scene from Close Encounters of the Third Kind when they were looking up at the Big Dipper in the sky, and then it suddenly started moving towards them, and then broke up into the separate moving lights. This was much like that in appearance. Thank you.

Hagerstown, MD
I was driving in Hagerstown, Maryland. At the Lowes h Center on Wesel Blvd toward Burhans blvd. A bright white dot appeared to come fron the top of the sky descending into my view approximatley 10 miles away. The light was very white like halogen light bulbs on a luxury vehicles headlights The light had a mist around it. It paused at my 11oclock view for a mere second before descending at a rate of speed that is truly unexpalinable toward my 5 oclock.

This morning at 7:17am, when going to warm up my car, I saw 2 UFO'S chasing each other! They were white lights. They caught my eye because at first, I thought they were shooting stars; but they were way too big and low. They were flying right above the cloud line and going faster than any aircraft I've EVER seen. I live by the airport so I'm used to seeing aircrafts all night and day long. This lasted 10 seconds. They were "playing" over my house and reminded me of kids chasing each other. They flew in snake like formation not a straight line. They went from the west sky until they went so far east they disappeared from my range of sight. They appeared to be their own light source.

West Branch, IA
But this night was different. I had just finished my truck driving route or schedule and now I was headed toward home in my Chevy Volt driving north on Baker St. in West Branch, Iowa, a drive I had taken for 13+ years. Of course there was a black sky that night and I had just drove down that small hill that heads out of town. The town was pretty much dead at this late hour around 11:35pm. I was going about 30 miles an hour when right before my eyes I saw what looked like at first glance a falling meteor. And then I could see the characteristics of it. The path of this object was straight down and I also saw that it was not falling that fast like other meteors, as though it may have been space junk or an airplane. I could also see a bluish and greenish glow coming from which I believe the bottom of this object. There was no tail behind it like a comet. It took about 3 seconds to see this fall looking through the front windshield of my car. That is how slow it was falling. But what took my breath away was how gigantic it was compared to other meteors. It was not small by any means but about the width of the moon. Something just fell out of the sky just maybe a few miles from where I was driving and it seemed like it was just maybe right off of the left side of the road ahead of me. I decided to investigate and so I drove a few miles ahead of my exit toward home. I could not see anything. And so I decided to head back home and while driving on the way back about a mile I passed a Iowa State patrol car speeding along as if he was maybe chasing someone. Of course there was no other cars out that night and so why was he driving that fast, I will never know. He did not have his lights on. When I arrived home I was somewhat in shock. I did not know what to do about this sign from the heavens. I decided to call the man that is in charge of the UFO sighting on coast to coast. I explained to him the situation and he told me to call 911 just to be sure because it could have been a plane. Or who knows what could have happened. And so I did and also called the Iowa State Patrol and ABC and CBS news stations. No one seemed to hear anything on police scanners or have seen anything. No reports were made and so time will only tell what truly happened this night. Maybe a farmer will find something in his field, especially since its all farm land north of West Branch, Iowa. I, being a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ will not be caught dead with lying to anyone about what I saw. I have a godly reputation in this neighborhood. You could not get me to tell a lie if you burned me at a stake for the Bible says, “All liars shall have their part in the lake of fire” in the book of the Revelation. I take this serious!!! I do not even listen to all the UFO reports on coast to coast (90% of the time I don’t even listen to coast to coast) because it seems to always be the same stories told pretty much, and so I just turn off my radio at this time or try to shut it out of my mind. I know there are many false reports but I also know that God Himself will never in a million years allow me to give a false report and live to tell about it. Because it would haunt me within my conscience with fiery guilt and then I would have to make restitution on it. All I know is that God allowed me to see this sign for a reason. I am 55 years old, never seen anything like this in all my life and I know without a doubt that something huge fell from the sky and it could not have been a meteor or could it? It now could be classified as an Unidentified Flying object. I could now say that I have seen one.

Sherwood Park (Canada), AB · Canada
My wife and I were sitting in our hot tub looking at the sky. We seen a number of planes earlier in the night, then out of nowhere a bright light caught our eye and we started talking and then again out of nowhere at the same time we pointed to the sky telling each other to look. We seen two blue lights streaking across the sky followed by a red light. Shortly after that we seen another blue light followed by a red light doing something side to side. The lights didn't flicker. Shortly after that we seen another blue/green light streak across the sky. They were not clustered together or in a formation but going the same direction. They went incredibly fast and disappeared out of our view.

There were two huge moving objects with spinning green circular lights on front. Flew very low and were loud. They shook the entire house. One witness noticed green object dropped below their house. They were too scared to get a closer look.

Syracuse, NY
I saw two orange lights hovering in the sky with a helicopter somewhat near them. I can say from experience it was not an airplane or any sort of fireworks. The helicopter seemed to be on approach or circling them but I couldn’t tell as I had to turn after the red light turned green.

Makawao, HI
On Thursday 18th of October 2018 between 18:15 and 18:40 Hawai’ian Time. I had just collected mail from our box and was walking back to our cottage, in Makawao, when I saw a bright, neon green light in the sky toward the southern side of the West Maui Mountains. The light was stationary above the line of broken banana palms at the rear of our house and above (what I estimate) the position of the wind farm on the flank of the mountains. I went inside and obtained my binoculars and observed the light, which was still in the same position. Through the binoculars I observed the light to be two lights touching. I returned indoors and acquired a telephone and tried to contact my friend who lived farther up Haleakela, in Kula. Unable to reach him I contacted his wife. She went outside to see if she could see the light from her higher elevation. As I spoke with her I observed the light move to a lower altitude, bringing it in line with the palms. The light remained stationary in this lower position for a couple of minutes before moving southward over, roughly, the channel between Maui and Lana’i. Within seconds, it changed course and moved in a curving upward arc northwards toward Wailuku and stopped approximately above the valley, maybe a little southward of, Waikapu. The light remained stationary against a deep purple-black cloud, which made the green even more intense, for a number of seconds before it began moving to a lower altitude northward toward Wailuku and disappeared behind the branches of an avocado tree. Just as I was informing my friend that it had disappeared, the light returned on a southerly course back toward the channel. The light then reversed course, gained a little in altitude and headed toward Wailuku once more. This time it did not return. I was on the telephone with my friend the entire time describing the maneuvers; unfortunately she did not see it. The light moved slowly most of the time, slower than the tour helicopters that fly over the valley between Haleakela and the West Maui Mountains. I do not think it was a helicopter due to the lateness of the day and because it was at different points so stationary in the sky. Just after the light moved off to the north towards Wailuku I observed the strobe red light of an aeroplane moving from north to south from Kahului airport.

Austin, TX
4 orbs of light . Gathered together-West. Suddenly 3 left but 1 proceeded East . Then I saw what looked like a parachute falling from sky. Then the orb turned North. I knew it was going to come towards me. It was heading North now, I’m heading South. Then the “ parachute”began flailing. Now it was about 15 feet in front of me. The “parachute” was coming down very fast. It was a white van. When it hit the shoulder a man was in it. I called 911.

I woke up finding that i had been sleep for over 24 hrs.I WILL NEVRR FORGET THOSE BEINGS OR THE SOUND I HEARD AS THEY NEARED ME IN THE DREAM.

Le 13 octobre 2018 un témoin sur une aire de jeux est intrigué par la présence dans le ciel d'un éclat lumineux. il décrit un PAN qui semble constitué de deux éclats du soleil sur un objet central. Le témoin s'empresse de faire des photos avec son téléphone portable. Un seul témoignage est recueilli. Il est particulièrement difficile de caractériser de manière satisfaisante le PAN dans le cas présent (voir le compte rendu d'enquête). En effet : - l’absence de points de repères dans les photographies ne permet pas de situer de manière précise le PAN dans l’espace ni d’apprécier un éventuel déplacement et encore moins la distance à laquelle il se trouve, ni ses dimensions. Il pourrait tout aussi bien être très éloigné (comme le pressent le témoin) et de grandes dimensions ou au contraire bien plus proche et de plus petites dimensions ; - le PAN lui-même apparaît peu net, sa forme étant difficilement caractérisable. Ce fait est lié à la qualité médiocre de l’optique et du capteur utilisés (ceux d’un iPhone 4s) qui produit un fort bruit de fond. Ce smartphone est par ailleurs inadapté pour réaliser des photographies d’objets petits et distants ; dans ces conditions une éventuelle étude de la profondeur de champ qui aurait permis de mieux définir les dimensions du PAN et sa distance au témoin, ne peut être réalisée ; - le PAN étant de très petite taille angulaire (moins de 0,5°) et étant observé sur fond uniforme de ciel bleu, sans points de repère, il est normal que le témoin ait eu des difficultés à apprécier de manière satisfaisante sa forme et ses éventuels déplacements. Le témoin a toutefois émis une hypothèse, celle de la confusion avec un ballon stratosphérique. Nous avons cherché à approfondir cette piste sur Internet et auprès du service dédié à l’étude des ballons au CNES, sans résultat. Bien que les estimations de dimensions et de distances réalisées avec le logiciel IPACO sur les photographies puissent cadrer avec l’hypothèse, l’absence ou l’imprécision de tous les autres paramètres ne permettent pas de la valider. L’absence de données consolidées ne permet pas de conclure de manière satisfaisante. Le GEIPAN classe le cas en « C » : manque de données fiables. [GEIPAN classification C — Manque d'informations fiables]

1 glowing yellow object (indeterminate shape) with visible white/grey plume trailing behind moved very quickly parallel to ground high overhead, broke into 2 objects (both with plumes), building obscured more observation. Entire duration of observation lasted ~5 seconds as the objects were moving very fast. No sound at all was observed. Observers were local college student and local resident of same age.

One appeared suddenly, to make three lights, just as we turned north up a street. and then after a couple minutes the third light disappeared. Then another disappeared, leaving only one. The third disappeared and seemed to have moved up and to the right (south) at an angle that faded quickly sort of like smoke trailing. We were in our car driving in the town so it was hard to see exactly what was going on. This is our first sighting. Pretty amazing. Might have made a triangle, but they were close together as a group, but never crossing paths or touching.
