Shingle Springs, CA
While flying quad-copters for the day at a school on Saturday afternoon, I turned to the north and noticed 2 lights in the sky that were distinct from the high clouds. At first, I believed these to parachutes or para-motor type craft, but was confused, given the fact that the winds were beginning to make our flights difficult on the ground, and when I called attention to it to my friend who was flying quads with me, she too saw the same two craft and we immediately began to try to match it to known aircraft or explanations. The two craft were seen at an elevation of approximately 40 degrees above the horizon and were due north of my position. The craft were moving in relation to one another with the top left craft from my position being brighter while the second similarly shaped craft was less distinct and even somewhat translucent. After a time the second craft was no longer seen and the brighter and larger craft stayed in view for many minutes. I attempted to film the craft with my on-board quad-copter camera but the lens for both this and my camcorder I had were not at all appropriate to this kind of a sighting and thus nothing was captured. In fact, the quad-copter camera mysteriously did not even have a record of the flight even though I had made certain to activate the camera and there was plenty of space left on the SD card! Early on in the sighting, the two craft were moving quite erratically and in revolutions clockwise around the other as if they were orbiting one another. My first thought was of a parachutist or para-motor craft in trouble with a bad chute then I realized how high these objects were and that it couldn't possibly be one or more chutes. We couldn't identify any noise coming from these craft. The lights were constant in brightness at first and there was no variation until the smaller craft began to fade from view. As we watched, the motion of the bright light transitioned to a smooth rotating motion clockwise and slightly descending to the lower right towards the other object which seemed to rotate with it. The other object maintained it's distance from the larger during this change of altitude. When the brighter object suddenly stopped its rotation, the shape for both was seen as a diamond shape for both craft by both of us. The distinct edges and structure were then apparent and it was obviously a pair of physical objects. The objects were behind the high thin clouds at times (still easily seen through the clouds) and my estimation of their height would be in the thousands of feet in the air. Other conventional aircraft in the air before, during and after the sighting were seen and this was definitely lower than commercial jet traffic but higher than the thin clouds. Given the distance and elevation, these had to be of considerable size. A commercial jet I saw during the sighting at 30,000 feet or so to the west had about the same apparent diameter as the larger bright diamond shape, so the object we were watching would be estimated to have a size approaching 50 to 100 feet as a very unscientific guess. The other object which "dissolved" from view was of a smaller size and perhaps was 75% of the size of the larger brighter diamond shape. I also considered that the sighting might be a jet coming towards me with navigation lights on, but this was ruled out when the slow orbiting motion was observed. No jet or prop aircraft would do this since this would mean a aileron roll to the pilot's left or 45 to 60 degrees (to match what I was seeing) which would then have produced strong movement to the right from my point of view (unless the pilot was doing aerobatics which definitely was not the case here). Additionally, both objects had a long period of hovering in one position coupled with a slow movement to the east by 10 or so degrees over a period of minutes mystified me and made me rule out normal aircraft. I also considered if this was a balloon, blimp, glider or a helicopter. The observation of the two objects satisfied none of these explanations as we both attempted to ascertain what we were seeing. I also considered astronomical causes. No meteor trail was noted. It was not a planet, since the ecliptic was to my back since I was facing due north during daylight hours. It was not a supernova, comet or any other natural sky-borne phenomena that I have ever encountered. Around 14:05 hours Pacific, I pointed a camcorder towards the object and was marking my position in relation to it. The sole remaining diamond shape object was clearly visible with only a few whispy clouds near it and I turned the camera away and then back to the position of the object only to find is was nowhere to be seen. In a matter of seconds, it had vanished. One notable event occurred some minutes afterwards. A lower altitude Cessna or similar style aircraft that appeared to be completely painted black appeared from the north and at a much lower altitude. If overflew us directly at an altitude of around 1500 feet and was flying extremely slowly. I cannot say if this was related, but it certainly caught my interest given the direction of travel and behavior. I have spent a lifetime in around rocket and aircraft systems and have spent 30+ years in amateur astronomy. I have flown in fighter aircraft as a civilian and know the full range of U.S. and foreign civilian and military aircraft from past and current fleets. This matched none of the craft or natural astronomical phenomena I have ever seen or have knowledge of. I cannot say what we saw, but it was certainly an unknown and my hope is that someone else in the area saw it and can add their testimony to the sighting and perhaps identify what it was.

Loganville, GA
I spotted something metal in the sky on my way to school. I had to pull over for gas very close to the place that I spotted the thing. When I pulled into the gas station I continued to stare at the sky trying to figure out if I was seeing things. I tried to rule out anything rational; ie balloon, toy, kite, etc. The entire time I was staring at it, it hovered in the same place. It was a dark metal color. It looked like a diamond or a square turned on its side. It appeared to hover for a few minutes and I saw what looked like a dark red blinking from one portion of it. Not like a light but as if the entire portion was flickering in a code. I watched it hover like that and then it went straight up and eventually out of view. After this I texted my mother and my husband. Neither of them had a comment. I am well aware of how crazy these things sound to people who’ve never experienced it. This is the first solid object that I have seen. I have noticed many things! in the night sky, recently, that move at speeds and heights that don’t fit with what we are educated about in this country. This is the first day-time, full view and solid object I have experienced.

Was looking south, clear sky and the sun was exposing a small bright diamond. I thought maybe plane at first but it wasn't. It was a good clear sighting, it was moving south and sort of curving west. It went over a large population, I'm sure it was seen by others. Thanks! Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Bowdoinham, ME
I then noticed, as we were headed towards it, that it was not moving no where but very still and I'd put it at around 1200 feet with 7 lights about a quarter the size of the moon and very frightening. I felt as if it knew I was watching it. The craft showed no intention to hide itself and it was creepy. It was blinking lights but not of any plane or air craft I have ever seen it was I would say between 60 to 80 feet long and 25 to 50 feet wide. It had a yellow light a white light and a few blue. It's raining bad so it is hard telling the shape and distance as well as it being night time. It was diamond/triangle shaped.

Yesterday, I reported seeing a diamond moving over my townhouse in Spring Branch, Texas (Houston), I go upstairs and I started hearing jets. I hear passenger jets all the time as I'm under a flight path but these were loud! I call the dog and we go downstairs, as soon as i got to the same spot I daw saw the object, two fighter jets came flying by! F-22 or F-16 and they were low and banking. It made me feel weird as I have never seen that before, not in my neighborhood. I tried to record them but all I got was the sound of engine. Something went down yesterday for sure. Around the I-10 & Beltway 8 area I live a little NE of there. There's a YouTube video fighter jets over Houston somebody else saw them. Thanks!

Vestal, NY
Hovering lights very high in the clear night sky. Observed for 44 minutes, from 4:00 a.m. until 4:44 a.m. Lights varying from blues to greens to reds, some white lights, circular at times, often in a diamond shape or pattern, once in a great while a white light shoots from it off to the west of the hovering. Observed to the southern sky of the New York/Pennsylvania border. It appears there are one or two also hovering smaller lights to the west of the hovering light pattern, also high in the night sky. It is all too close to be a satellite, and isn’t moving as the space station would or a plane or helicopter could or would. Two airplanes ascended at 4:30 a.m., but far too low and close to the earth by comparison to the hovering lights. The smaller hovering lights to the west of the diamond pattern lights are greenish and white. The smaller hovering lights are more concealed. How can those lights hover for so long? Fascinating to observe.

Littleton, CO
I was driving north on Wadsworth blvd. I looked up when I was stopped at a light and saw a cluster of white objects. At first I thought that they were birds. Then 4 of them separated from the group and I was able to see that they were not animals. They were shaped almost like a bird with its wings out but when the 4 were on their own it was clear that they were a ship of sorts. I took out my phone at the next light and within the time I looked down to get it, they all vanished.

Florissant, CO
Beginning of my day started at about 2-3pm in the afternoon of Sept. 26th, 2016. I had left my apartment on E. Girard Ave, Denver, CO for one of my first paranormal hunting trips ever just for fun from being a witness of a prior sighting when I was young and about 7-Years old. I had already had a sighting of two huge Red Eyes nearly as big as grapefruits inside my home and some MiB’s had also visited me at my school and seemed unfriendly even threatening me as a kid even though they had shown up a year or so after the red eyes had appeared inside my home in Chicago, IL where I’m originally from. That sighting from when I was 7-years old led my interest up to this days trip and made me decide to venture into the colorado mountains further, in hopes of having fun but not expecting to see anything. So I had driven for at least 2 hours eventually coming upon County Rd 42., & The 421; nearing Quartz Rd, having seen it on the North side of “Highway 24” (thru Florissant, CO; exited south from heading West on 24) so, the North side of highway 24 in other words was the mountain line, and the south side of ‘24’ where I exited which is the small residential area I had taken a cruise through to turn around was actually where I end up sitting & smoking & seeing it. However, I had gone all day without smoking any Cannabis. I had decided to stop for a end of the day smoke because the sun was going down; and it made me want to smoke a joint and watch the sunset because it was a beautiful day & it was still nice out for the end of Sept. so I did. Now, here’s where the sighting begins, I sat in my car smoking that joint. It was curiously quiet no neighbors, or cars driving down the streets, just myself watching the sunset. I had proceeded to smoke the majority of the joint. It had burned through 2/3rds of it that I had presently smoked, when the cherry of the joint (the tip on fire) went out. I knew I needed to re-light it if I was obviously going to continue smoking. I had sat there for a minute not really stoned but thinking I should either light up or roll another joint again and try to finish the little 1/3rd remaining joint additionally as well that had went out. I didn’t make up my mind at the time to light it back up on fire or; whether or not I should just roll another new joint. I only had kept thinking about it in the immediate present 30-seconds that the joint had gone out of being on fire. Then, I began day-dreaming and ‘watched the sunsetting in the west and also watched the mountains skyline from the south side of ‘highway 24’s’ residential neighborhood. So, I was watching the West’s sunset, & at the same time back & forth the north and northeast view of the mountain line as well as simultaneously looking to the sunset in the West. At that point, I was thinking maybe I should just roll another joint but was confused and discontent of the day & my overall happiness of the day and I did NOT know what I felt like doing at all! In other words, couldn’t make up my mind. So I just sat there watching the sunset. Now, sitting on the south side of ‘highway 24’ in the residential neighborhoods viewing the mountain which is on the opposite side of the highway’s southern residential neighborhoods area; so looking north of the ‘highway 24’ That of where I had been looking North/Northeast was where the black diamond looking UFO on fire was seen approximately. The black diamond looking object was on fire and within a second of seeing it was automatically looking like a UFO because of when it started to slow down abruptly in the line of travel it was on and stopped looking like a diamond and it came to a stop on the path it was on and then eventually as it stopped becoming a normal black oval shape; and was blazing on fire this whole time. The first thing that jogged in memory was OMG that that this UFO was telling me from the thoughts I had about lighting up the joint again because it went out of being lit on fire, that this UFO & possibly aliens had been telling me with the use of the ship that they had wanted me to light up the joint again!! I was in complete shock as the diamond UFO shape took normal oval form as it slowed down, stopped, waited for me to recognize it stopping and waiting for one reason most probably being thinking to light the joint back on fire as it knew I was watching the UFO on fire for more then one reason, and the ship being on fire all of a sudden got me into a mentality of shock & disbelief. My mouth dropped open and I couldn’t believe this UFO had just came out of no where ON FIRE, & was implying to re-lite the joint back on fire. After 10-15 seconds the UFO stopped on the trail of trajectory path it was on and sat stopped at the center point of the trail that its trajectory path was on. The fire and flames ablazing, glowing, orangish yellowish and the fire itself slightly a darker orange glow; Though mostly orangish and yellowish fire; it was also blended with a small amount of darker orange. It was vibrantly breathing like a house or something on fire where air causes the fires movement to breathe. Even before the ship came to a stop on fire, the fire had been trailing behind in the ships air trail of movement leaving a healthy air breathable looking fire movement to the flames themselves, which stopped and blazed more upward in the air after the ship came to a compete stop from movement. And after sitting there for that 15 seconds or so shot off extremely fast blurring and even shooting off so fast that fire came off of the top side of the UFO and had clung into the blue of the sky; really telling me to light that joint back up!! As the fire sat there in the sky, it slowly disintegrating & the UFO sped off blurred and disappeared towards the sunset. All of a sudden I believed that this UFO, aliens & etc. had told me to light that joint back on fire. After everything had happened I was in total shock. And I eventually drove home and couldn’t even believe it. I am not just telling the world about my sightings (2) (Red eyes from Chicago, IL additionally) and I feel after the two huge red eyes in my home and a Pair of MiB’s meeting me in grade school, that things have real meaning here in my life down to this very Cannabis UFO encounter., beyond even the story of my sightings being that of Told but that of all the evidence and interests of the paranormal being actually hidden in truth right here in more depth of my personal own two sightings.

I am wondering if this sighting could have been a caused by the reflective surface on a geostationary or communication satellite? One of two sighting reports submitted by the same source. The witness's other sighting also occurred in Nashville, TN, and is posted to our database of sighting reports for October 22nd, 2016, at 2040 hrs.. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be quite sober-minded. We suspect that he is a quite credible witness. PD

Heard loud humming and felt a vibration in doorknob of my mobile home, I was walking outside to sit and drink my coffee and smoke a cigarette. When I walked out on deck I heard the hum even louder looked up and it was hovering over my home maybe 500 feet in air diamond shaped dull silver colored craft with 6 rolls ((sic. rows)) of lights in the arrow shape. One roll red one roll white light co-ordinating back and forth flashing. It also had 2 smaller crafts one on each side hovering for at least 5 minutes or a little more. I was not the only one to see this. I had neighbors 3 miles down the road that saw them as well. I would be willing to take a lie detectors test.

At 10:30 pm my family were on our back porch and from the northeast about 10 miles or so in the sky, a big red circle appeared in the sky. The dogs in the area started barking and from the orange light, five small lights appeared from it. Then the big orange light disappeared. The smaller diamond shaped lights flew around the area or more then 15 minutes. Also, when the big orange light appeared, it made a loud humming sound, that actually vibrated the ground near us. I did take footage of these light on my phone.

Sheffield, MA
Thursday evening 8/25/16 8:15 pm Driving down Boardman St towards Maple Ave in Sheffield, MA, saw orange lights in the sky ahead of me ... high as some jets fly. They looked like small lights ... a bit diamond shaped ... a bit bigger than stars .. very orange in color. Saw two groups ... one with 3 lights and the other with 4. Each group was moving very slowly towards me and to the left. The lights within each group seemed to move independently of each other. Stopped my car and got out to get a better look. The group of 3 had disappeared. Watched the group of 4 ... got back in my car and started driving slowly still watching them and then they disappeared. Total time of sighting was probably 3 - 4 minutes. The sky was very cloudy that night ... no stars or moon. Background of observer: Berkshire native 64 yr old female. I am outdoors a lot. For the past 25 years I have been out walking daily (3 hrs/day) for bone exercise. Have seen a lot of shooting stars but never what I saw tonight.

Memphis, TN
My wife, two adult children and I were driving from San Antonio, Texas, back to KY on 8/15/2016. We arrived in Memphis between 23:30 and 23:45 on I-40. While leaving Memphis on I-40 going towards Nashville, we witnessed a large diamond shaped object, hovering approximately 1000 feet above the highway. It had several bright lights that alternating from a steady burn to a flickering behavior. There was one red light that remained fairly constant. We continued to drive because there was no place to pull over at that point on the interstate. We witnessed approximately 8 or 9 more more similar objects spread over the next 8 to 10 miles of highway. I was finally able to exit the highway and pull into a gas station where I got some mobile phone video and a photo of the last one. We then continued on towards Nashville, and eventually took I-65 towards Louisville, KY. We were just south of the Elizabeth Town, KY, exit, when we witnessed another, identical, object hovering to the west of I-65. We continued on to the Lexington, KY, area, with no further encounters.

I've taken various photos in the sky's over my house & on numerous occasions the craft keeps appearing in my photos & when I blow up the image it's always the same craft. The first time I noticed it was when I took a photo of a usaf f15 fighter jet flying over on the 30th June 2016 but didn't see anything in the sky until I took a look at my photo then saw two (2) craft of the same shape. Then on another occasion on the 3rd of July a biplane flew over so I took another photo and again nothing could be seen with the naked eye until I took a look at the photos then saw the same two craft again. And the last sighting was on the 7th July 2016 when I was flying my drone at an altitude of 140m so decided to take a photo which when I did I noticed a white/green circle in my photo & this craft was also in the picture but strangely could not be seen by the human eye. Whilst my drone was hovering at 140m above ground level I placed my controller down to take the photo so with nobody touching the controls my drone started flying forwards & backwards & in circle motion by itself very strange. If you would like to see my photos please contact me then I will be happy to forward them to you. Witness indicates that the date is approximate. PD

Portsmouth, RI
I see at least 4 kite-shaped objects, as if they had a small tail, in the sky. Not blinking, and not moving. Some very bright, some smaller and less bright. Looking with the naked eye, they appeared to be one (star) color; then with binoculars, they seem to be mostly star colored, but with 3 or 4 bright yellowish-orangey orbs on their lower portions. Friends feel they are not stars because they are not blinking, and not satellites because they are not moving. I had only seen one at first, and the other people who saw it thought it might be a planet, but the shape is like a diamond/kite pattern, so doesn't look like a planet to me. We are all lay-observers, but often look at the night sky as we are on boats in a marina, with few lights disturbing the view.
