Helotes, TX
I had been out star gazing for a couple of hours since we have a clear sky tonight (2-18-2015). I had been utilizing an Iphone app (Sky View) to track stars, planets, etc. I was just hoping to see a shooting star, the space station, or even a satellite. At about 11:45 PM, I saw what looked like a large bird gliding. In size, it looked like a crane or flamingo might look like but, at an altitude that a hawk is at while seeking prey, (150 ft). It was translucent white in color and moved from the lighter part of the sky (where the city is at) towards the darker part (away from the city and towards the country). Maybe lasted about 4 seconds and as I tried to focus on the object it disappeared. The wings never moved and it did not make any sounds. I should have been able to see it clearer since it was moving towards the darker sky.

Preston, WA
2/12/15 11:40pm Driving east on I-90 (70mph), approaching Preston, WA. Visualization of lights in sky appearing to be somewhere over North Bend or Snoqualmie, WA heading west over I 90. Lights formed two chevrons-one above the other. Each light =4x size of a star seen with naked eye. Each chevron was composed of two blue lights for its right half, and two red lights for its left half. Therefore, I saw 4 blue lights on right and 4 red lights on left heading toward my location. They seemed to be flying at the altitude of the red warning beacon on one of the mountain tops, but each single light in this grouping was 3x size of a beacon. Color was remarkable. Couldn’t figure out what it was. Never seen anything in the sky that large with SUCH COLOR. Deep, intense, cobalt blue lights formed the right half as it approached (which made it on the left as I looked at it). Bright red lights formed its left half. As it moved further west, the blue lights turned completely off and then on again. Not at quick, even intervals as you’d see with a strobe light. It was slower and random. Before it passed over the left (north) side of my car, this blue-lights-off-then-on occurred probably 5 times. Co-worker saw similar lights while still in Issaquah, WA. Worker said the lights were green, remained stationary, then moved off and away sideways (south?).

Magnolia, TX
During the morning hours between 7-9:30 sometime in 2015, in my backyard I spotted a black UFO object flying medium speed at least 1000 feet off the ground heading north. At first, I thought it was a B-2 Spirit but there's no way. It wasn't flat like the B-2, it was triangular/chevron. It had blue flames coming from the back of it and windows at the top with a door. I do not remember the exact day or time or even month because I was a kid. My father also heard the sound it made; it was a simple jet type engine sound. It also had lights, with a red flashing one. I hope this report helps, thanks.

Lakewood, CO
I was driving home new years eve on Hwy 285 just after I passed the Sims St exit a large white v-shaped object appeared. It was in was going straight down at incredible speed then disappeared behind a small mountain. There only a small valley behind that mountain before the terrain rises into the foothills. There were no signs of a crash as I passed by the valley behind the mountain or anything on the news. At first I told myself it must of been a meteor. But then I watched videos of meteors and such and nothing looks anything like what I saw. Not any kind of trail behind very clear crisp outline and in a perfect tight v shape. What the heck was it! There were plenty of other drivers on the road at the time but I haven't been able to find anyone else reporting this.

Readstown, WI
We had a dinner reservation at 5:30 PM on New Year's Eve, so at 5:25 PM I went outside to get the car started and warm. It was dark. On the way to the car I saw an object looking like a quarter moon with the bottom left corner filled in. The object moved over a hillside, just over the top of the hill. It finally went behind the trees but I could still see the light from it. It was almost as large as the trees. The object moved in a jerky fashion, almost like I was looking at a series of photographs projected in the sky, in first a westward direction, and later north, behind the trees on top of the hill. I watched it for about 30 seconds from the driveway, and then when it disappeared behind the trees I walked out in the yard where I could still see the light it made for a few more seconds. It was not the moon, which was in the western sky.

Ogden, UT
While looking at the star lit evening my wife and I suddenly noticed a very fast moving craft that sped across the sky and covered 2-3 miles in approximately 5 seconds. The craft did not have lights but was rather a solid substance that appeared to be slightly lighter than the surrounding stars. A good description is like when you see a jelly fish in water. It is difficult to see the outlines but you can tell that there is a substance there. The craft moved silently, and quickly with no sound and was probably only able to be picked up due to the fact that there was a bright quarter moon out also. It originally reminded me of a batman movie when there was the bat signal in the sky. Delta shape with softly rounded corners, no flashing lights, but only can be described as a disruption of the space around it. Perhaps a cloaking device was enabled but one could still make out the speed and shape due to the disruption around it

Huntington, WV
At approximately 8:45 pm DST, we were sitting in our living room which has a large picture window when suddenly in the southern sky, a large delta winged craft (much like the ones from the Phoenix, AZ sighting) appeared out of nowhere. The craft hovered for about 2 minutes and began moving due north at a slow speed. The craft had five very large orange lights changing to yellow and back. We are approximately 2 miles from the Huntington Tri-State Airport located in Kenova, WV. The craft moved slowly from south to north and paused for approximately five minutes. The lights went off one at a time until only the center light remained. It stayed in place for another 20 seconds and suddenly shot straight up. I have a video to document the sighting in MP4 format, should you like to see it. Thanks.

West Sacramento, CA
I saw 4-5 lights in a chevron shape fly above a layer of clouds. I only saw the lights and could net see any shape to whatever the lights were attached. The lights were somewhat dim due to the cloud layer. It was completely silent and flew northwest and then made a sharp turn to the northeast. It flew faster than the commercial airliners the regularly fly over my house. No one was present with me. This is the third time I have seen such a craft. Twice, my ex-wife and I saw one fly over the family student housing complex for the University of California, Berkeley, when I was in attending school there (the housing complex is in Albany, CA, and I reported these sightings to this website too). I think these were in May 2002 and May 2003. In those cases, I could see the craft.

Fresno, CA
Large chevron shaped craft, no lights and completely silent I was outside on my balcony at around 6:40PM on a cold evening in December looking at objects in the sky through my telescope. There was a moon above and wispy clouds, and the night was exceptionally clear. I was late for a dinner date, but I wanted to get as much observing as I could before I left, so I was just about to go inside and I stood up and walked backwards to my balcony door, still looking at the clear night and stars. My balcony door was propped open to my living room and the lights were dim, I was at the door threshold when I saw a distinct shape, like a chevron, or delta-winged shape, it looked like a hang-glider. I said to myself, “cool, a hang-glider”, and I went inside. I stopped and said to myself, “why is there a hang-glider flying? Where did he jump from?” it is flat in Fresno until the foothills about 11 miles away. I went back on the balcony and the craft was right in the middle of the square of Pegasus constellation and the wingspan was almost as wide ! as the diagonal stars across the square. I estimate that the craft was about 800 to 1200 feet in altitude, completely silent, no lights and was moving at a slow pace. It looked as though it was moving back and forth, or left and right as if it were scanning the area, it was low enough to see that there were no windows, the color of it looked as though it was changing from black, charcoal grey and the color shapes were not clear and seemed to be matte, no reflections of any sort. I tried to make out an insignia, a logo, an American military branch, an identifiable anything, there was nothing. The craft seemed to have an underbelly of some sort, like a rounded belly with no other shapes or cutouts that looked like landing gear. The edges of the craft were geometrical and sharp, like a wedge cut around at 45 degrees, it moved right over my head and from west to east towards the foothills and slightly north. The craft flew over me and it was in my view for approximately 30 seco! nds to a minute. I kept repeating to myself, “what the F*** is! that? w hat the f**k is that? What the f*** is that?!”, over and over again. I knew that my camera was just inside and it had been charging all night and I wanted to grab it, but I didn’t want to blink and I wanted to ‘see’ this thing as long as I could. I grabbed a notepad and pen that I use when observing and immediately started to draw what I was seeing. There were two people outside, one walking their dog and another throwing trash, but I didn’t alert them, I just noticed that they had no idea that a large craft was flying just over head. I estimate that the wingspan was about the size of a football field in width at the height that it was flying. It seemed to glide in the air, perfectly and parallel to the ground and never tilted so much as a degree, it flew in a straight line at a slow steady pace. Slower than an airplane would fly and faster than a hang-glider would, but it seemed to float or glide through the air. High enough to push little wispy clouds out of its path, if the moon was not out, I don’t think I would have been able to see the craft as it reflected hardly any light and seemed to absorb light. It flew over a baseball field about a half mile away and the high-voltage lights were on and I could then see that the craft’s underbelly was lower than I thought and that the craft’s shape was just a thin line. I then ran to retrieve my camera and I thought to myself, “I bet this thing won’t work”, like every UFO reenactment that I have seen on television. I turned it on, and the camera was dead in th! e water, no lights, no sounds, no nothing, dead battery. So I continued to observe it as it disappeared in the horizon. I was shocked by my reaction of seeing an unidentified craft, my first and very up-close and personal, I was excited, but at the same time, I was in total fear of what I was witnessing. It brought tears to my eyes that something this ubiquitous could fly directly over Fresno, at rush hour during Christmas season and shopping, fairly low and whomever is piloting this craft, was so blatant and not worried if anyone could see that this craft was something like no other. To me the craft looked as though it was unpiloted, maybe remotely piloted like a drone, it seemed to be scanning the area and moved in such a way that seemed to be autonomous or artificially controlled with GPS or machine logic. After it was gone and out of sight, I was frightened and shocked, concerned and worried that it could be ours, or one of theirs, perhaps an invasion, or reconnaissance before the military strike. I held back tears, and I thought of turning the camera on again to see if it worked, I flipp! ed the ‘on’ switch and the camera lit up ready to shoot, that is when I started to cry realizing that there are things in this world that are kept from us, and I believed in all the conspiracies and every UFO sighting. I was enraged and sad that we are kept from knowing this technology, what else is out there that we don’t know that could possibly harm us? Whatever this thing was, it was magnificent and huge, black, silent, had no lights and stealthy enough to fly over Fresno, CA in the bustle of Christmas season and only one person, myself actually saw it flying overhead. I am hoping that this craft was one of our own military’s and that it is online to protect our urban areas from threats from any enemies. I have the drawings that I made and detailed maps of its trajectory. As a crow flies, it was headed directly towards Area 51 in Nevada, which is very close to Fresno, CA if you look on a map, any crafts that fly out of there, would fly right over Fresno to get to the ocean to do any maneuvers, over Fresno is the shortest route. I hesitated writing this report because I thought I was delusional, but after seeing all of the reports of a similar craft in this area, I thought I would add my event sighting to the database so that everyone can read and maybe someone else thinks they are seeing things, but I saw what I saw, and I can’t explain what it was.

Bangor, ME
I was driving home from Bangor, Maine, at approximately 9:30 p.m. I was on Outer Ohio Street headed West – Northwest. It was still somewhat cloudy from the snow that came through earlier that day. Because I am always looking at the night sky out of habit and fascination; I looked up out of the upper driver’s side of my truck’s window and saw what appeared to be the same type of object that was previously reported at a earlier time this same evening of Dec. 18, 2014, in Pennsylvania. It was the same as stated in that report: A very large object; in the shape that migrating geese fly and the so called bottom of it had many equally spaced lights on it. For the little time I was able to get a fairly decent view, the lights appeared to be all white, but pretty large. Just as I was about to pull over to get a better view it appeared to ascend slowly into the clouds with an eerie type glow in the surrounding clouds. Then it was history. This was also fairly near to an airport; but with a few farms and many wide open totally dark farmlands surrounding the area. I have only lived in Maine 2.5 years, but have seen all sorts of weird objects in the night skies year round. I have been reluctant to report until now. I thought I would come home and get on the computer and see if anyone else might have seen the same thing. BINGO! someone did in a different state just a couple of hours earlier.

Spring, TX
Good morning. On my way to school today, at 6:41 central standard time I witnessed a strange sighting in the eastern sky. I saw an object which appeared to be 2/3 of a triangle (or the leading edge of a chevron or an arrow falling from the sky. It was either white or faint blue in color. What got my attention is that it changed direction in flight. It went from falling downward at a slightly southern angle to falling straight down. The total sighting lasted no longer than 2 seconds. On thinking about it later, I wonder if I saw the sonic wave or buffer and did not see an object but instead saw its sonic wave. Whatever it was the change in direction got me.

I was driving down my street, when I looked up and saw 6 blazing balls in a V shape. I was near my home so I ran inside and got my boyfriend who also saw the lights, but they were dimming and had moved.

Large bright red object flying at an even pace, leaving an enormous slender fluorescent-blue crescent wake. Seemed like it was skimming the atmosphere.

Anaheim, CA
At around 19:00 hours, on the 12th day of the 12th month, in 2014. Myself and a girlfriend of mine were driving to the store, In the city of Anaheim CA. I happened to look up in the sky, to my right. As I was sitting passenger, I noticed something that looked as it were flying, across the sky.but what caught my eye was that it looked as if it had a magnetic field in the front of it. It was crescent shaped as it got closer, a white light was noticed rite behind the magnetic field. We pulled to the side of the road . We exited car, and proceeded to stare at it, as it flew over , and soon passed us. As it got further away, the light began to dim. And rite before our eyes the object, flickered and went completely out. We got back into vehicle, and continued on our way. Atlas V missile launch from Vandenberg AFB at 19:19 hrs. (PST) PD

There was a strange chevron shaped ufo hovering slowly threw the night sky. It wasn't to high though. 1000 yards from the ground would be a good estimate. And it had this sort of beaming noise while it was moving from east to west.

Phoenix, AZ
Driving home from work, heading west bound on the loop 202, I notice 4 extremely bright orange balls of light hovering over the horizon. As I approached the Ahwatukee area entering onto Pecos Rd it became clear these 4 lights were far off in the distance near the southern tip of the Estrella Mountain Range. I have witness these UFO's before back in the late 90's with father, very similar in fashion to the famous "Phoenix Lights." I see planes come and go every night, and I know what their landing lights look like. These were much brighter and far larger in their radiant glow. It appeared to me that they were even gaining altitude. I lost sight of them as I went under the I-10 interchange. When I came out the other side past Pecos Park I caught a glimpse of them right as they blinked out of existence separately, but rapidly in succession. Some background info: I am an avid aerospace enthusiast and have flown several air craft myself. But I am not a licensed pilot. My father, who did not witness these, but the previous ones in the 90's, said he had seen nothing like it. He is an aerospace tech who works on jet engines and was a former aircraft mechanic in the U.S. Air Force. Commonly our local Luke Air Force base claims these lights are flares from the fighters performing bombing runs at the Barry Goldwater Range. While this is a large range its no where near the location of these lights.

Levittown, PA
3 chevron-shaped objects with flames flying too close together to be planes or jets. Two were near front and one behind a bit. The third one almost instantly caught up to the other two. They were flying like in a backward V formation. The third object emitted sparks from underneath. Then they made a sideways triangle. They then reversed their direction instantly and flew in opposite direction. And then became invisible (possibly entered a cloud).

Shelton, WA
weather: clear, half moon shining, 28 degrees. craft moving southeast direction. I thought initially it was at a low altitude because of its speed, but there was NO noise. craft was V shaped and glowing blue-grey. my impression was that it must be larger than the glowing v, but I could not see anything more. craft flew in a straight line in a southeast direction and covered the horizon in about 7 seconds. Weather: clear starry night, 28 degrees. Craft flew straight SE at high speed (7 seconds through about 120 degrees of horizon.) Craft was shaped as a 120 degree V, and glowing washed-out bluish grey. Craft was totally silent. There were 2 other aircraft in the nearby sky. I own a motel in Shelton, WA, and drive a semi truck for a local company.

Jonesboro, AR
I was out walking my dog and looking for meteors. I saw what looked like a faint shimmer above me, really far up in the air. It was hard to distinguish the shape. It was triangular, but also somewhat of a chevron. I thought it was a flock of geese at first, but I realized it was moving way too quickly to be geese, and it was completely silent. The whole event, from me spotting it overhead, to it moving out of sight over neighboring buildings took less than 5 seconds. It looked to be about as high up as a personal airplane, but there were no lights. I could only distinguish that is was moving because of the fact that is was blocking out starlight as it moved over. It is a very quiet night and I can easily hear planes and birds at that height. I could also faintly see what might have been a faint reflection of the streetlights on the underside of the object, but the reflection was irregular, which is why I at first thought that it was a flock of birds of geese.
