Carlsbad, CA
Several coworkers and I saw numerous lights out over the ocean. The lights were disappearing and reappearing, and changing formations. The lights were slightly orange/yellow color. The lights looked like they could be Chinese lanterns, but they were first lighting up high in the sky. They also looked like flares, however they seemed to be maintaining altitude and even climbing slightly. Also, there was barely any lateral movement, even though a windstorm was occurring. Many people should have witnessed this, due to the length of time it occured and position off the coast of a busy area. We witnessed several pedestrians watching the lights from an overlook area just down the street.

Then about 2 hours into it, it began to move slowly towards what looked like Eagle River but over the mountain range until it was just gone. But how it hovered in one spot for 2 hours without moving then all of a sudden moves and disappears. Weird. Anyone have a clue?

I filmed a time lapse over the course of a few hours, and after zooming into the video I noticed that approximitelly 3 objects appeared out of nowhere in the sky (balls of light). You can see the airplanes in the sky flying by (very quickly) but these objects are moving very slowly, and almost seeming to hover for a little bit. They separate and fly away, still much slower than the airplanes you can see. Here is a link to a clip I posted online: https://streamable.com/yy23q We have viewed the video, which does indeed show three seemingly anomalous lights, moving apparently across the nighttime sky quite slowly. Moreover, they appear to be moving in a different direction from the direction that low-altitude aircraft are moving, so the objects probably are not conventional aircraft. We do not know what they are. PD

De Pere, WI
A bright object was observed in the sky W/SW of our location. It appeared to be a planet at first, but it appeared much larger than a planet would, and it was already fairly light outside. I pointed it out to the other two people I was with and after 20-25 seconds, it traveled straight away from us at a very high rate of speed. It was no longer visible in less than 2 seconds.

I was able to pull over in a wide spot and observe it closer this went on for approximately 20 minutes. I took my phone and tried to do a video but unfortunately it was too dark. I have been driving truck for 23 years and 16 years as a deputy sheriff. I have never seen anything like this before… I did call California Highway Patrol and they took a report of the event. Just estimating from my location it was probably 30,000 feet in the air and what appeared to be over Sacramento. We spoke via telephone with the source of the report, and we found him to be unusually eloquent and sober-minded. We suspect that he is a skilled witness, and a highly reliable source of information. He described himself as a former law enforcement officer. PD

So this sighting may be a bit unique because it is current and ongoing. The sighting I have entered in is the most significant one. It actually goes back to April 3, 2018, until this morning (April 19, 2018). On April 3, I was letting my dog out the side garage door facing east. Up about 30 degrees in the sky was seemingly a very bright star which began to move. It was very bright and did slow circles and a triangle pattern. I watched for about ten minutes and went to let the chickens out and went around to the backyard and spotted another southwest a bit higher in angle in the sky. I had to go to work so the sighting ended. That night there were objects in the same location in the sky and one more due west. It was a very clear night and star filled. These stick out because of how bright they are. White hot light that sparkles. As I scanned the sky I noticed 4 more in other locations. I didn't pay attention to the others however because of the significance of ! the other 3. Every clear night and early morning since then I have spotted these and have spoken to a close friend and a few other people that have seen them. The significant report that I have filled into the boxes is the Sunday night following the incident. We contacted one another via text message and updated on what we were seeing. The three main ones were in the same positions in the sky plus I spotted 9 more. The three main ones have stayed in the same locations only deviating by a few miles sometimes getting sort of close and sometimes out towards the ocean. They appear daily from approximately 20:00 to 6:00. The pattern changed last night and they are no longer in the same locations. I spotted one east and one west that seemed very close to town. The flying patterns don't deviate much from circles to dipping up and down, sometimes dipping down and back up in a teardrop shape. They seemingly look like they are scanning around or signaling something. My parents live 12 miles south, and they have been seeing them west over the mountains towards the ocean. These sightings are picking up attention in the area. I didn't file a report at first because the photos and videos I have are only like stars in appearance and don't do them justice. They should be seen in person.

My fiancé and I were sitting in our backyard, watching the stars, and he saw a very bright light moving quickly through the sky a distance away. I looked and saw it, too, and a few seconds later, the light became dimmer, and then a few seconds after that, it completely disappeared. We kept watching in the direction it was previously headed, but saw nothing.

South Kingstown, RI
Cold, dry night with plenty of stars as I stepped outside to go to my car. I looked up, as I always do at night, and saw a star like object slowly moving from NW to SE. It was dim at first, but then suddenly gave a very bright flash, while keeping on the same course. It then dimmed out, but I could still see the dark outline, like a coal cinder. It then became bright again but not as bright as the flash. It then dimmed out to the cinder like object until obscured by the tall pines in my yard. I have seen this type object several times before over the years here; same course of travel, more or less, which is against the normal airline flight path, which is SW to NE heading to Warwick, RI's, Greene State Airport. No sound was heard at all. This was less dramatic a sighting than I've had in the past, but decided to report it anyway.

Blythe, CA
Without using word processor. On this date, I was video taping geese in the sky and after reviewing my video, I have on the video one ball of "light" that came across the sky and when it left it created a haze around it and then left. It is not a lens flare, it is not a drone, it is a UFO for sure. When pausing the video the light has a haze around it similar to a saucer shape. Someone with special equipment could certainly enlarge this to see exactly what it is.

A bright red light moved left, right, then left, and then faded out. Roughly NNE of Phoenix. I initially thought it was a military aircraft, but the red light was odd. Being prior Air Force, I thought it might have come from Luke AFB, but no aircraft can move laterally like that.

The witness was at Marine Park, ready to go home after walking the dog. Witness reported 3 orange lights traveling separately, but in same direction. They were in a tight formation like a line, and it was believed that they were coming from the south and were going north. They were widely separated and then they turned back to south towards Lummi Island (it is believed). Witness lost sight of the orange lights after a while but no estimation was given. Color does not match aircraft and no sound reported. Reversal of flight indicates these were not jackolanterns.

Indian Ocean (500 miles from land), Indian Ocean 500 miles from nearest land
On 3rd April, 2018, at 14:20 UTC Time, In approximate position 0 54.0E 088 08.6E in the Indian Ocean, 500 miles from the nearest land the object had been observed from the merchant vessel. First seen at altitude about 15 degrees above horizon. Object attracted attention due to unusual flashing lights from red to white along the whole body of the object which didn’t look like any airplane observed previously in the night sky. It was hard to tell whether the change of lights color was flashing type or turning in circle from side to side. The most interesting thing was that the sky was 100% clear without any clouds, so after observing for about two minutes, the object simply disappeared in the clear sky, and then reappeared again with the same characteristics. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Dear Peter, good day! Thank you for your prompt reply! Unfortunately, there were no any pictures taken. The object appeared to be quite far. After it attracted my attention, I continued to observe it by using the binocular. Otherwise I couldn’t see at least those details that I have seen. I mean, when on the ship during the long ocean passages, it’s quite interesting to look at the night sky, stars etc. I’m quite sure I can make a difference between airplane, and what I’ve seen last night. What’s the most interesting is that it disappeared completely for some time, even though I’m sure the sky was clear of any clouds. There was one more witness though, the guy who was keeping watch with me, he’s Filipino. And he agreed with me that he saw the same thing. But there’s one more thing. Approximately in an hour after I submitted this report, I’ve seen exact same object heading in the same direction, but it appeared to be quite further away, again I was observing it with binocular. They both were heading towards NE direction. From our position this could lead them somewhere to Thai or Chinese coast. ((END ADDENDUM))

On 04/03/2018, at approximately 06:00, I observed a fast-moving object at apparently very high altitude, moving from North to South. It crossed between the two stars in Ursa Major that point towards Polaris and Polaris itself, somewhat closer to Polaris. Object appeared to be at significantly greater altitude than commercial airliners, though possibly attainable by military aircraft. It reminded me somewhat of early satellites which did not follow the earth's rotation in terms of brightness, but speed was greater. The object was too distant to determine size or shape. The sky was cloudless and dark. What caught my attention was that it appeared to consistently move at what I surmised to be several times the speed of sound, yet several times instantly “jump ahead” some distance. Distance “jumped” was hard to estimate due to altitude, but I would say in the tens of miles each time. Twice, the object “jumped” laterally as well, though I would estimate a shorter distance. I followed the object until it passed the treeline at my house.

Tucson, AZ
I have been seeing lights in the direction of the AFB for quite some time, especially in the couple of hours just before dawn, but they seem to be more blatant and odd lately. They appear as points of light that are either white, red, or green and they move rather strangely. Sometimes there is only one light moving around but lately there have been two. They move laterally, diagonally, and vertically. The oddest part to me is that sometimes they appear to be shaky. They show these little micro-movements that remind me of Somebody with a shaky hand holding a laser pointer. This night there were two lights vertically stacked on each other. They would blink on and off and change color (white to red), and they seemed to be able to move both independently and in unison. In addition to these lights that I normally see, two nights ago (4/7/18) in the same direction there was what appeared to be a normal aircraft, moving normally, with blinking white lights and a stable red light. However, it would be ascending diagonally, get to the same point in the sky, and then disappear only to reappear where it began and follow the same trajectory again. It did this cycle at least 3-4 times that I saw.

It started moving when a smaller one hovered above it and eventually lined up perpendicular to the earth right above it in a straight line. It was fascinating. The other small one flew overhead and we could see the lights in a triangle when it got closer. It was moving WAY to fast to be a plane of any kind and way to far away to be a drone.

Tonight [here] in Vancouver, Washington, we have an apparent full moon and a sporadic cloud-cover - where the stars are clear and highly visible in between the small puffy clouds lit up in the moonlight... At approx. 9:00 am (for some reason) I stepped outside to look up into the evening sky towards the south - which would be in the direction of East Portland, Oregon (located approx. 5-miles across the Columbia River from where we live)... While gazing up into that direction (at an approx. 30 35-degrees above the horizon), I suddenly noticed a bright bluish/white sphere which appeared to swiftly leap over a small/isolated cloud in an "up/over/and down" type of arcing maneuver (while heading from a northerly position, and then towards the south, as if to hide from my view behind the cloud)... Approximately 2 or 3 seconds later, and to my shock & amazement, the brightly-lit bluish/white sphere (again) suddenly reappeared from behind the same isolated cloud, and then it leapt back over it in the same exact arcing type maneuver as before, only this time heading towards my direction (to the north from its southerly position from behind the cloud)... The sphere [then] winked out completely in an instant after retaining the initial position where it had first lit itself up from the north side of the small isolated cloud that was involved in this sighting... The aerial maneuvers that this illuminating sphere had displayed to me were definitely not of any known earthly aircraft found in today's world... I somehow got the feeling that the light had an intelligence inside of it which was controlling its maneuverability, and that when the sphere had suddenly reversed its direction towards me (in a swift/leaping upwards-then-downwards arc), that it knew that I had spotted it, and that it was merely showing-off its seemingly impossible capabilities to satisfy my lifelong fascination & curiosity for this type of phenomena.! .. I am 60-years old now, and tonight's otherworldly aerial display chalks itself up to be my 4th UFO sighting thus to date.

I was looking at the stars for a few minutes at 10 and just letting my mind wander, when I saw a blue light that was far away so that it looked like a bright star, or very distant plane. But immediately, the blue light moved so quickly through the sky and began making sharp turns such as a backwards zee and then back down. It went on like this for maybe 20 seconds and then it traveled some distance and stopped moving and the light became red. I watched it for a few minutes but eventually went back to get my phone as my wife and I had been texting. When I came back out it was in the same spot but blinking. It went on for maybe another minute, 5 minutes total max, but one of the times i looked down at my phone to text and when I looked back up it was gone. I saw a plane fly by a few minutes later and the speed was many many times slower than the object I had just seen. Totally random but I received my first reiki session today. We our right next to 29 Palms Marine Base so there is that too. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Orange flattened rectangular shape light in the north east sky. Object moved slowly southward but light intensity remained consistent. Moments after observing object two military jets flew into the area but could not see their proximity to the object.

My daughter and I were traveling I-85 S, going to school, when I saw a blueish-greenish #shootingstar or #ufo blaze through the Atlanta sky. It looked like a firecracker light similar to a sparkler. It only lasted a few seconds, then it just disappeared.
