Colbert, GA

Me and my fiancé were sitting on our porch looking out at the night sky and talking when between the trees I saw a light traveling from north to south and straight at us but at same time a slightly crurved path toward our home. It was traveling slower than an air craft and it did not blink. It was a pure singular white light. We ran out into the yard to watch it as it flew over our home. After it went over our home it continued to move upward into the sky and vanished in seconds. It looked a star but brighter and bigger.

so my wife and I were having a late night smoke in our back yard and I commented on how it was a beautiful clear night and you could see the stars perfect! she asks me, "what's that flashing bright star one there?" I turned to see a bright flickering light that was extremely low compared to all the other stars in the sky. I grabbed some binauculars to see it closer and it started out flashing red and blue just like a cop car then it moved and we captured video!

Montesano, WA

I was at Friend's Landing in Montesano. Was sitting in my vehicle, when my Fiancee and I noticed a yellowish orange light in the sky. It seemed to be moving around, flying in circles and visibly turning itself, as it would get brighter when facing our direction. I called a family member who lives in Aberdeen to go outside and check it out, they could also see the anomaly in the sky. A plane was flying and the UFO noticed it, slowly flew closer for a short distance before taking off and making a large gap between itself and the plane. After the plane had past it continued to fly randomly side to side and in circles, my fiancee decided to flick our headlights on and off. The anomaly turned towards us and slowly flew our direction, so my partner flicked the headlights on a couple more times and it came closer but stopped before we could make any shape of the craft out. The craft continued flying around randomly, but at this point we had to head home. The light was still visible from my house. My Fiancee and I like to go outside a lot, and this anomaly has been seen by us multiple times. It seems to be watching this area, for reasons unknown. It generally looks like a bright yellow-orange star. Seen year round, noticed it last summer for the first time.

Myself and my fiance saw a very strange green/yellow light entering towards earth. Did not look like a shooting star at all. This was big. Almost looked like it "landed" on the ground

Dallas, TX

The ‘lights ‘ were much brighter than I normally see and were stationarily stacked one upon the other with estimated 100 feet apart. After about ten minutes, the topmost one faded away, to be followed by each of the others, about one minute apart. I’m not sure that what I witnessed were helicopters or not, although the behavior wasn’t like that of helicopters. The regular airport traffic resumed shortly after the last bright light faded away .

Fenton Township, MI

Corner of Fenton Rd and Thompson Rd in Fenton Township last Wednesday it was dusk out and I saw looking out east over the woods of what is vrand blanc/holly what I first assumed to be a plane which was as bright as the morning star gliding north near a route i see planes traverse regularly on their way into Flint Bishop airport which is just 15 miles north by way of US23. Ive seen 10,000 planes or more over the course of my 20+ years on this property. Things have been a little odd the past few years but when this light i think is a plane disappear in midair after i had watched it fly for a good 30 seconds, on a straight horizontal level path clearly not the flickering of a drifting chinese lantern, which have been popular lately no this was a bright light like a bright plane but it vanished in a clear deep blue eastern sky just past sunset. It was the only object in the sky.my brother in law and nephew weren't able to witness its disappearance but had seen the light before and did believe me as it had disappeared from the sky.

In the video there is a flashing light in the sky that appears and disappears repeatedly. By eye the objects appears to have an aura or haze around it. I have seen these frequently by naked eye and cannot seem to identify what it could be.

Barrington, IL

1st time me & dog have both been in observance of 3 orange lights, all in one line, spaced closely to one another. Moved directly over my neighbors house, 1,000 feet above perhaps. 3 orange lights had no noise, no blinking lights. Stopped directly over my house and stopped. My dog and I stared directly at the orange 3 lights, as my dog did also...both looking up for like 2 minutes. They as I tried to take photos, 3 orange lights immediately flew upwards. So fast out of sight. No photos. I came inside my house & my wife asked why we were both outside so long... She said both outside over for 45 minutes...I said no, we me and dog, just went outside to let dog go potty...quickly. She looked outside couple of windows but saw or heard nothing. She asked me, so were did those 40 plus minutes go? Experience has left me sleepless tonight.

Chardon, OH

Heard dogs barking next soor. Woke up & saw bright light, like search light in sky above treeline. So bright, it illuminated clouds behind it. Seemed like it got brighter. No noise. Thought it was a helicopter search light but stationary. Then as soon as decided to get in my car & look at closer - it rurned off like a flashlight.

I woke from sleep 6am and went to the kitchen for a drink of water. My cat was sitting on the back of the couch toward a big picture window so I approached the cat with a treat, the cat looked toward the second level deck and I noticed a orange rotating light rotating clockwise and it was at the far end of our deck, our deck is 90 feet in length and I was looking out the middle section window. I put my knees on the couch to get a better view and the light rotated slowly with round yellow oval dots 4-5 inches across slight beams, the orange glow and the oval dots rotated at different speeds and pattern. Lasted 15 seconds and was gone. I could see the edge of a round object when I was leaning over the couch. I was in shock and still am. We live at an acreage far from others, 400 feet between homes. I still don't understand what I saw.

Bouexiere (La), Bretagne · France

Le mercredi 10 octobre 2018 à 05h30 du matin, le témoin fume une cigarette sur le pas de sa porte, quand elle observe pendant plusieurs minutes, le passage d’un point lumineux blanc dans le ciel nocturne. Ayant son téléphone portable à portée de main, elle filme l’observation. Elle contacte le GEIPAN le jour même et déposera un questionnaire ainsi qu'une vidéo, 2 jours plus tard. Un seul témoignage sera recueilli visant ce phénomène. Le point lumineux, plus gros et plus lumineux qu’une étoile selon la description du témoin, lui apparait au nord-ouest et traverse le ciel avec une trajectoire linéaire descendante et une vitesse qui semble constante. Au bout d’environ 5 minutes, il disparait à l’horizon sud-est (voir le compte rendu d'enquête). L’aspect du PAN (blanc, plus gros qu’une étoile, lumière constante), sa trajectoire (linéaire, le PAN disparait à l’horizon) et la durée d’observation (environ 5 min) évoquent le passage d’un satellite artificiel dans le ciel. L’estimation de sa vitesse angulaire, effectuée grâce à la description du témoin, reste compatible avec cette hypothèse. Les données issues de Calsky déterminent que l’ISS (la Station spatiale internationale) n’était pas visible à cet instant précis. Par contre, un certain nombre de satellites géostationnaires passaient dans le ciel du témoin. Deux d’entre eux ayant une trajectoire proche de celle décrite par le témoin. Ces satellites sont, la plupart du temps, invisibles à l’œil nu, car faiblement lumineux. Mais il y a des périodes dans l’année (périodes qui précèdent et qui suivent les équinoxes) pendant lesquelles, ils peuvent être temporairement éclairés par le soleil. Leur trajectoire étant propice, ils sont alors suffisamment éclairés pour être visibles à l’œil nu. Calsky indique que le moment de l’observation - soit environ 3h avant le lever du soleil correspond à l’une de ces périodes, à savoir une période favorable à ce type d’observations. Du fait des conditions d'enregistrement, et de sa faible qualité ( téléphone portable tenu à bout de bras), la vidéo fournie par le témoin n’est pas exploitable. Ce cas présente une faible étrangeté et une consistance moyenne (témoin unique, description assez précise mais vidéo inexploitable). Ce cas s’avère être très probablement une méprise avec le passage d’un satellite géostationnaire possiblement et temporairement visible à l’œil nu,compte tenu de la période de l’année. Ce cas est à classer en catégorie « A », méprise très probable avec un satellite. [GEIPAN classification A — Satellite]

I was in a Meditated state when I went to sleep. I seen black matter coming down from the ceiling. So It looked like it. Really freaky stuff. I went to sleep to wake up around 3:00am I felt someone grabbed my left ankle hard enough to wake me up. I looked trying to open my sleepy eyes I seen him there standing. Looking at me mad like if he was expecting me to say something. He was really tall maybe 8ft. He had long arms his fingers touched his knees. His noise looked like 2 lines and big eyes. I was colder then usual. I blinked and he was gone. I don't know if I'm being abused by these creatures. One morning I woke up with my underwear backwards. I've seen UFOs since I was 15 I'm 30 now.

My grandmother and two of her friends were almost home and stopped at a stop sign when she asked the other two women if they saw that strange light in the sky above them that had been stationary for quite some time. Her one friend said she had been watching it as, well, and was wondering what it was, when all of a sudden they said it took off rather quickly and they lost sight of it. A third woman in the car told them it was just a helicopter. My grandmother who is not one to believe in the unexplained told me she is positive that the light was not a helicopter. She said it looked nothing like that and there was no noise from the craft when it took off.
