Westminster, CO
I observed one object in a chevron shape with 3 lights denoting the shape. The lights were white, appeared attached to an object. The lights dropped down, in what I initially thought was a shooting star, but then the lights moved together to the left across the horizon and then just vanished. The lights were all the same size and shape. The lights did not appear small and far away, but rather large and relatively close.

Watchung, NJ
On Wednesday February 10th, at 5:15am, I was on my way to the gym before work. I had just turned out of the driveway and outside my driver-side window I caught a glimpse of a large flying object. It was literally just above the tree line! I clearly saw the charcoal colored underside of the wide chevron-shaped wingspan against the night sky. There were red lights at the tip of each wing and a white light at the front center. It was too dark to discern the shape of the fuselage, however I assumed that it was a jet. I was taken aback as to how low it was flying, and how unusually slowly it was traveling. It crossed overhead and was not easily seen on my heavily wooded street. For a brief second I thought about taking a photo, but my phone was in my purse behind the seat. I figured it would be too late and too dark by the time I got to it. I continued to drive 1 mile out of my neighborhood, and more than 2 minutes passed when I came to the clearing on Hillcrest Road at the exit 40 overpass for Route 78. At that point I was very surprised to see it again! It was straight ahead in the near distance, traveling slowly in a north-easterly direction just over the tree line toward Berkeley Heights. At the time I thought it was really odd, and since then continue to leave the house as the same exact time to hopefully see it again! Now that 2 weeks have passed, I am realizing that I will likely never have the opportunity again. Now I am sorry that I didn’t pay closer attention when it happened! I am wondering, did anyone else possibly see the same thing? Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Dewey, AZ
Orange light going south circling to west and disappearing up to west. About 2 minutes. Quite bright to disappearing up.

Lafayette, LA
While visiting a friend in Louisiana. The shape is hard to describe. Chevron is the closest. While entering the back door from backyard, about 10:45 PM, I heard a flock of geese honking and flying overhead, so my attention was drawn to the sky. Above the geese, far up in the night's sky, I could see a strange aircraft moving slowly West in the opposite direction of the geese. At first I thought of a stealth bomber, but it was too big. Kind of chevron like, three rows of lights. Large. Medium grey against a dark sky. Almost same color as sky but you could see the shape and lights. Just North of Orion's Belt from my view, heading slowly west. The house roof hid it for a moment so I went to the north side of the house and it appeared to have changed course towards the right, traveling slowly, going farther North. I could see more details under the craft, still saw the rows of lights (not blinking), flying lower than I'd expect to see an airplane. It flew behind the tall oak trees, so I could no longer see it. I am a 64 year old, retired school teacher, and had not been under any drug or alcohol influences.

Bend, OR
As we come closer we are able to see the metal around the circular light. Note this light is not a beam. There were approximately 3 smaller lights surrounding the center one. As we drove past it, it hovered and then sped about 100 mph north in the opposite direction we were traveling.

Maumelle, AR
I am an adult male. I was driving on I-40 west near the Maumelle exit when I noticed two bright lights traveling towards the highway. At first I thought they must have been landing lights on an aircraft. The lights began to rapidly descend and suddenly a straight line of silver lights appeared across the middle of the two larger lights. The object gained speed as it crossed the highway, the two main lights appeared to split apart and the two objects disappeared over the trees. I drove about a quarter mile or so when the two lights reappeared from over the trees. The two large lights appeared to be reconnected with five somewhat smaller lights under the object with them. Three in front and two in back, forming a circle with the larger lights. A chain of silver lights formed the outline of a broad chevron around the circle of larger lights. As I began to see the details of the object l pulled off the highway and searched for my phone. As I was doing this it made two tight circles in front of me. Just as I got my phone out and pointed it at the object all but the biggest two lights dimmed and the object took off at a high speed towards the northeast. Unfortunately, before I could get the camera set. Traffic was light at that hour, but it was near a populated area so it's likely someone else may have noticed the objects as well.

Windsor Heights, IA
Driving on westbound I-235 in Windsor Heights, IA, when my husband and I noticed what at first looked like three lights in a triangular pattern, but upon driving closer to the lights we noticed that it was five lights in a chevron pattern, very low in the sky. The craft was hovering about 250 feet from the ground just south of the interstate for about 2 minutes, then slowly moved east for about ten to fifteen seconds before zooming south and out of sight in less than five seconds. While there is an airport about ten miles from where we spotted the craft, it was far too low to be an airplane, as they stay well over 3,500 feet in the air in that same area of town.

Dunedin, FL
Driving down us19 I observed 3 bright flickering lights hovering over Dunedin. When I stopped at the light by the mall, a silent grey v-shaped ufo slowly flew right over my car. We cannot be certain as to whether this is intended as a serious-minded report. The witness elects to remain totally anonymous, and provides no contact information. PD

While watching for meteors/satellites, I noticed movement to the southeast of my location. The object was moving south at a low rate of speed which was somewhat against the local prevailing winds which were coming very lightly from the south-southwest. The object passed over the constellation Canis Major and after about 20 seconds I lost sight as it passed behind a large tree in my yard. I picked it up again a few seconds later on the other side of the tree and started to observe through binoculars. The object then made a leisurely turn to the west and faded from view as it became more distant. At first glance I thought it was a deflated translucent balloon or plastic bag debris. As I observed further I noticed the object had an angular shape and was not rotating or changing shape as you would expect with paper/plastic debris in the wind. Observation through the binoculars confirmed it was the shape of a chevron or sharp boomerang and the object appeared to be a dark blue-gray very similar to the color of the sky. It looked like there were 2 very dim and diffuse white lights on each "wing" or else these lights were bands of dim reflected light. It appeared to be quite large but did not fill the entire field of view in the binoculars. I would estimate within 2000 feet of my location at an altitude of under 1000 feet but I cannot be certain of that estimate. The object emitted no sound and appeared to be on a controlled flight path.

Wilson, NY
I was in my front yard facing North across Lake Ontario when I heard a helicopter approach from the East. I watched the small, white, news type helicopter then noticed a shiny object higher than the helicopter. The helicopter went past and didn't hesitate at all. (they often travel this path). The shiny object seemed to be pretty stationary and not moving. I went into the house and came back out with a small pair of binoculars but I still could not determine exact shape of object. It was longish with something hanging below it so I thought it might be a big weather balloon. I have never seen a weather balloon. The object was very shiny and reflected the sun which was bright. The sun was over my left shoulder. The object began to move to the right, Eastward. It moved fairly slowly and almost seemed to be tumbling or changing shape. I really thought it was a balloon and tried to get some pictures with my cell phone. I got a few. The object was very far above the trees. I noticed a commercial airline going toward the East far above the object and not anywhere near it. The object was so high in the sky that it was impossible to make out its shape but it had to be pretty large because I wouldn't have been able to see it otherwise. Much larger than a party balloon. I walked into the field about 30 yards to my East to watch the object moving towards the East but after about 1/2 mile it changed direction and moved West and towards me. It then moved more Southwest slowly. I stood in the plowed field and watched it and it moved until it was overhead and to the South. It was close enough that I could make out the shape then which was an L or V shape. It resembled a very large L like that from a metal sign. It had no lights, made no sound but had square corners. I would take a guess and say it was much bigger than me at least 10 feet or so. It traveled into the direction of the sun and I could no longer see it. About 20 minutes from when I first saw it. I thought it might land in the 100's of acres behind the woods behind my house and I searched them a little later, but I didn't see anything.

Flying at low speed, silently. Was roughly 500-600 feet in the sky just above or at cloud level. Looked as though it was only being seen due to the reflection of light from the street lights. Small shooting stars were seen coming from the east to west, as the craft traveled north to south. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Lakewood, CO
Saw object gliding straight across the sky in front of us as we daced west. It was very far away, but it was a big object. It looked like a giant boomerang that appeared to be in a stealth mode. We never would have saw it unless we were so focused on the sky looking for meteors. It was nearly the same color as the sky it was flying in front of. Very hard to see, but two of us made the shape and size out clearly. It had to be at least 5 times the size of a 747. No lights on it whatsoever.

I was smoking outside at the corner of West Lewis and Falcon Streets in San Diego at 6:05pm this evening, Thursday, November 5, 2015. l was looking almost straight up and saw a very low set of 4 dim lights coming from the NW and heading SE. There was a lead light with 2 lights on the right and 1 light on the left. These evenly spaced lights formed a chevron. These lights were very dim. They were yellow white in color. I could see there was a solid craft in between the lights and behind the lights; but the lights were too dim to illuminate the outer edges of the craft, so I can't really say what exactly the shape of the craft was. I can only say for sure that there was a solid craft in between and behind the lights. The craft was partially illuminated by the dim yellow white lights, but also from the city lights. This craft was very low. It must have been under 500 feet. I first saw it in the NW. It flew almost directly over me; maybe at 85 degrees, at its closest point. It was completely silent. It was moving fast. I first saw it just coming from the NW and it was going out of view being blocked by houses within 4 or 5 seconds. There were other aircraft visible on the horizon; but this area of the sighting is near the San Diego airport, so there are almost always aircraft in the horizon.

Eagle River, AK
My husband and I had stepped outside, on a crystal clear night to look for northern lights. He saw a v shaped object, and said do you see that? I said yes, I DO see that! It was v shaped, no lights, totally silent, and transparent. It appeared to be about 800 to 1500 ft up. He thought it was a flock of migrating birds, I said, birds don't migrate at night, and they make noise. All the geese are gone by this late in the fall, and are very noisy. It appeared to be gliding, if that makes sense. We continued to watch it, having conversation the entire time, until it was out of range. About 30 seconds. I don't know what it was, but I know we both watched it in length. Only one object was observed.

Saw a chevron/boomerang shaped craft gliding southbound toward city park. It was silent and couldn't have been flying higher than 250 feet, difficult to tell since it was such a barely visible object with no lights. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
