Minneapolis/Bryn Mawr/ Theodore Wirth Golf Course area, MN
Driving at night on 394, headed towards downtown Minneapolis, and was about to merge onto 94 WEST... All of a sudden there was a huge flash of green light that lit up the sky for maybe 1-2 seconds then turned yellow for maybe 1 second then was gone. It was dark so this was super odd and not sure what to make of it.

Brother was driving me to work. When approached 35th Ave Bell on the west side noticed a light flashing on the sky. Almost like a plane except it wasnt moving. I told my brother look at that light up there can you see it moving? He said "no its just sitting there, its probably a star". Had to been like a minute in & then the light disappeared. Not even a second went by before it reappeared & was bigger & brighter than ever. It went from a speck of light blinking into a large flash & vanished. Was amazing!!!

Midvale, UT
A friend & I were on our way home driving on I-215 in Midvale, UT. Our conversation was disrupted & for 3-4 seconds the sky over the Eastern Mountains of Utah, near Salt Lake City, went from being typical black/dark, to green, red, blue, pink,...honestly every color imaginable, then back to dark, as if nothing happened. No actual craft was witnessed, but the display of colors in the night sky was clearly not natural.

Phoenix, AZ
I was outside watching the overcast in the sky early in the morning and remember thinking "the clouds are the perfect cover for them to observe us without us noticing." Not even a couple seconds later, I saw a dark, round object slightly lower from the clouds, and quickly shoot back into cover. My eyes were fixated in the spot where I saw movement, cause I thought it was a plane or something.. and a few moments later, a huge flash of light trailed across the sky in the opposite direction that the dark object moved in. The trail of light lasted for like two seconds and then completely disappeared. No sound whatsoever. The lights in the backyard were dimming in and out a little bit while all of this happened, but it was also storming that day, so it could have been from that as well.

Maybe 20-30 seconds later another red flash just as bright light the sky again. Finally, I pulled over so I could put my head out the window and investigate further but that was all that happened. No noise at all, other cars in front of Mt were reacting as well.

Bellevue, WA
Over hour's worth of time, anywhere from 15-25 minutes apart, three consecutive flashes appeared outside my house 8 times throughout the night. It was as though lightning had struck, but without thunder or a rumble of dispersing electricity from said flash. I watched for them after every of the three flashes that would go off, waiting for the time amounted until i saw it was directed at me from the sky. Or at least that's what it looked like. It is foggy and cloud filled skies at this time of 7am now. I haven't SEEN a UFO per say, as though the flashes came from thin air. But i did notice it (the flashes) were relatively close to being probably 30ft to 60ft diagonally from my window into the sky that I could see into, but not seeing any occupants inhabiting the skies. The air feels frizzy and my blanket is shocking me fore i think it is because of these paranormal flashes. This is my report.

Eden, ID
10 miles north of Eden, on the night of December 21, or specifically 3 am on Dec. 22, 2016; two very large green tinted flashes occurred in the eastern horizon and large scale in nature...approximately 5 to 10 miles wide. It lighted up the eastern horizon and I tried to video it. I was working in the desert all night for two nights on a scientific study. I watched intently and it again occurred at 6 am. The next day when I was listening to the radio station 98 FM The Snake, they announced that other people had witnessed this too. I don't know if it was a UFO, but it was the closest thing I've ever seen to something related to UFO's...it was really amazing.

Erving, MA
Hi, I recently moved to western MA. One night me and my mother were driving to our home when we suddenly found our selves back where we started. We thought nothing of it and went home. That night I was laying in my bed and I saw two air planes go past, you know the usual red flashing lights. Then I saw an object in the sky, it flashed a yellow light, then a red, then an almost purply color. It moved up and down in an 's' shape, then it disappeared. This was about last Wednesday or Tuesday. Last night, 12/10/16, I saw a yellow light in the sky. It didnt't move, the only thing that happened was the brightness kept changing, then there was a bright light and I do not recall the rest, I fell asleep.

Portland, OR
I was driving east and in my peripheral saw a bright flash to the north. I looked in that direction thinking it was lightning, and I saw that it was light green in color. It seemed to fade and pulse brighter. My next thought was that maybe a vehicle had collided with an electrical transformer (It has been snowing, so there is ice), but I heard no explosion. For about 10 seconds, it pulsed in brightness, until fading entirely.

Anchorage, AK
I opened my back door to let my dog out last night at exactly 11:30 pm. Upon opening the door, I immediately noticed (my dog also noticed) a very bright white/ light blue pulse of light. The location of this light was West of Anchorage, above the Chugach Mountains. The pulse was slow, and I observed no movement (up/ down/side-to-side). Immediately following the pulse, a streak of light passed directly under the location of the light pulse, appearing to be a shooting star (quick movement North to South, and left a visible trail behind). Immediately following this, two more light pulses of the same color/shape/ brightness flashed. Each happened at a slightly lower altitude (beneath the "shooting star") than the initial light pulse, but were identical in duration, brightness, and color. After the third pulse, no subsequent sightings were made. No flashing lights/forward movement/ or noise were observed. It did not appear to be a commercial/ military aircraft and had no observable beacons. The brightness and color were quite notable, even causing my dog to pause and take note.

Pt. Sur (50 miles off), CA
Was traveling down the coast of California from San Francisco to Long Beach on the tugboat I work on. I saw two bright lights in the skyrunning toward the shore. They were so bright, then the brightness faded and we were able to watch the objects continue to fly and swirrl around each other in the air for quite some time. They stayed at the same altitude and seemed to be partnered up with each other some how. Both objects vanished and that was it.

Binghamton, NY
On December 6, 2016, at approx 10pm or 11pm 4 Separate households housing 5 witnesses and 2 witnesses sitting outside in a motor vehicle saw the ENTIRE night sky change into a neon blue flash 3 times in a row. I would compare the flash to lightening, very bright, very blue, very vast and without a strike or thunder. Three residence are each a several miles in proximity to each other, and certainly not walking distance. They are too far from each each other for this to have been a simple transformer malfunction and it is no exaggeration that the ENTIRE sky lit up neon blue. The two people in the car were sitting outside of one of the residence. This happened as follows: -The entire night sky became a brief Neon flash accompanied by a vibration (felt by one household) a loud humming (heard by another household)and immediately following the flash the electricity went out. This was experienced by each witness that was at home. After about 15-20 seconds the elect! ric returned. 20 seconds after that the sky flashed neon blue again and the exact things were heard and felt and the electric again went out in the entire area, for approx 15 seconds and then came back on. The third time it happened, which was about 10 seconds later, the lights were off for even lesser of a time, maybe 5 seconds. Each time it seemed as though the flashes and the length of time between flashes and time the electric stayed off and took to come back on got shorter. I myself expected there to be a write up about it in the newspaper the next day. NOTHING. Nothing on the news. One observers house rests way up upon a hill overlooking the entire city. It has giant glass windows in the 'great room'. He said he was fortunate enough to see it happen and view all of the lights in the city area that he is able to see, which is quite large, go out each time the sky flashed. He also stated that he saw no object in the sky and that the blue light WAS the entire sky and tha! t the blue flash did not appear to have an epicenter. The following day, December 7, 2016, I contacted New York State Electric and Gas and they told me they had no record of ANY power outages in the area what so ever for the date of December 6, 2016, in Binghamton, NY. (Description of background of observers: #1 whom also heard the loud hum, is a college educated 54 year old female Medical Record Tech. Mother of 2, Grandmother of 7. Has large bedroom window overlooking a small field and then the river. She leaves curtains open due to nice view. #2 and #3 Stay at home mom 26 years old and her 7 year old son, she felt the strong vibration. I am unclear if her son felt the vibration as well, but he came out of his room to tell his mom about the light but she had already seen it. The power outage had interrupted his gaming and he saw the light through black colored room darkening curtains. #4 Successful business owner, 29 year old married male, father of 2. Owns two homes and a business. He saw the incident from atop of the hill overlooking the city. #5 and #6 The two witnesses that were sitting in the car..it is unclear of their background. They were picking up a child from his mothers house. When witness #2 went outside to look around witnes! s #5 and #6 got out of their car and talked to her about what they saw and what could possibly have happened. #7 Neighbor of #1, unclear of background but he did ask me (#1) the follow day after the incident if I had "seen the blue sky flashes and did your lights go out?". I would be interested in more information from your experts if available. Thank You.

Scarborough, ME
I wanted to make sure I was safely at a distance from traffic way ahead of me, as I looked back up I noticed the light began a falling star movement. As soon as I could gather the thought to tell myself you might wanna make a wish the light moved so fast I couldn't even finish the wish. I couldn't believe my eyes it was gone in flash after moving for 2 seconds. It was like turning a light switch after it was realized I knew it was there. I had always heard these things were pretty fast but this was remarkable to see how it just flashed and disappeared was nothing less than futuristic. I am a believer now that we are primitively occupying an advanced location on this earth. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Brief flash of light seen in the sky. Three people in the same area, but separate from each other, saw the light. An acquaintance of one of those persons approximately 90 miles northeast also saw this flash.

After 5 minutes, another craft appeared to the left of the flashing object and remained stationary. Both began drifting west and eventually out of sight. We have corrected the date to one in 2016. PD
