Inside Passage (Canada), BC · Canada
From the location 49*19.43'N by 124*00.55'W bearing 75*Magnetic on the water of the Inside Passage en route to Alaska, my crew and I witnessed a steady bright light very slowly streaking horizontally, not far up from the horizon, and then abruptly dropping and falling, but still slowly. Each incident faded into and out of visibility over the course of a few minutes, and a couple of times there were two in the sky, simultaneously. After twenty minutes or so, the show was over. I am a commercial salmon fisherman, and have been most of my adult life. I'm an artist, musician and a father and perfectly open to any possibilities. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be quite eloquent, and sober-minded. We suspect that he is a highly reliable witness, a fact underscored that he skippers a commercial fishing vessel. PD

My boyfriend and I were walking our dog and I am one to always watch the sky (it gorgeous) and I turned my head and saw a bright light and told my boyfriend. He looked and saw it and after that the UFO immediately dimmed but not enough to where We couldn't see it and it seemed to be slowly moving then it hovered and fa bit and disappeared completely. We looked for it but couldn't find it until we started walking and our gaze lowered and we saw it in the sky ahead of us where it just hovered and moved slightly occasionally while dimming and brightening. As I got to my house I ran in and grabbed my dslr cam and came back outside to find it gone. I went back in for a few and went out again and it re appeared slightly higher in the sky. It continued to do this and I am still watching it. And now as I am thinking the fire flies were dropping like flies

Diamond Lake/Mt. Thielson, OR
My wife and I were camping near Diamond lake, less than a mile from the northeastern shore. We had a great view of both Mt. Bailey and Mt. Thielson, and we were both up early to watch the sunrise. All the stars were fading with the morning light, and we were looking toward Mt. Thielson (where the sun would be rising) sometime close to 3:00 or 4:00 AM, when a bright light appeared, seemingly on, or appearing from behind the slopes of the mountain. At first we assumed it must be a car or some other snow vehicle, because it appeared to move along the surface of the mountain. But it's movements became too fast and irregular, and the light itself seemed too bright to be headlights or anything similar. The light moved halfway up and down the mountain line, and then, began to lift off (or rise higher from behind the slopes) and slowly rose up into the sky, shifting in very small motions from side to side, or perhaps in small spirals. The light, which at first was ! brighter than a regular star began to shrink or dim, and it's movements became less and less apparent. It finally died out, obscured by the sunlight and high above the point it first appeared, maybe three hours later.

I routinely step out at night and scan my sky with binoculars. I live in an active aviation corridor between the coast and Orlando Int Airport, so there is always something flying overhead and I also enjoy spotting stars and planets. Tonite, I stepped out just in time to observe an unusual light travelling south to north. It is quite muggy here, but I had very good viewing conditions, and the sky was relatively dark, as a storm front moving in from the west was blocking light pollution from the Orlando direction. This anomalous light seemed to be at a high altitude , appearing like commercial passenger jet traffic. What really got my attention as unusual was the fluctuations of this light. It was a single source of soft, off white nondescript light. It was a single light source not resembling navigation lighting, and it appeared to be glowing. Its size, though, was about what you might expect had it been an airplane at 30,000 ft. Its intensity varied irregularly and greatly as it travelled rather quickly across the sky. I have seen satellites pass over before, usually as a steady faint light, and twice in a regular sort of flashing, indicating rotation or tumble. That's what I figured I had here at first. But this thing flared , ebbed, waivered and flared in such an irregular pattern,and with irregular intensities. Without ever going completely dark. It was almost spooky. I immediately ran for my tablet and checked the app "Heavens Above" however, it did not indicate the passi! ng of any satellite in this path and heading or even time slot. The steady speed and straight flight would seem to indicate satellite, but I have NEVER seen such a strange light display. It leaves me excited and confounded! I'm not so sure this was any satellite. I don't know WHAT I saw.

I went outside last night at 3am as it was humid and i couldn't sleep. I sat on the front steps to admire the stars and enjoy the cooler air. As I've seen several UFOs over my house, some recently and reported herein, I thought maybe I'd see another one. Sure enough, a bright light, about the size of Venus at its brightest, caught my eye to the southeast. It was very slowly traveling to the northeast, slower than a regular airplane. Altitude I would guess to be about 10 to 15 thousand feet. As I closely observed the light and its movement, it suddenly dimmed, and went out. I had the distinct feeling that it knew it was being watched and didn't want that. For several more minutes, I kept my eye on that quadrant of the sky but did not see it reappear. No sound from it, or any flashing lights. It was just a bright, bluish white round light. I believe that if someone wants to spend the time looking at night, eventually you will see them. Some can be dramatic, unlike this one.

4 slowly revolving lights just above the clouds, they could be seen in the clouds. The lights stayed in that area for at least 5 minutes. I went into my house to have others come out to see, and when I went back the lights were gone. Possible advertising lights?? PD

There were 7 lights that were solid white all spaced out through the span of roughly 40 min. Some seemed be flying straight but after focusing you could see them almost wiggling or wobbling as they went. And four of them there trajectory took them straight out of the atmosphere.

Stepped out to smoke and check out the stars and noticed one star about the size of Jupiter, but orange in color when i was showing my girlfriend it started moving then picking up speed. Tyen changed directions moved all the way across silverbow county then a red light lit up on the same craft. Then it turned around and flew toward the lady of the rockies and hovered just south of her..thats when i spotted another one south from it about 3 miles on top of the ridge for about 20 min.. made no sound flying over..

Riding Motorcycles back to my house with my brothers suddenly saw six lights (like radio tower light) flash across the sky. We all saw it! It was by Krome Avenue and in the Everglades area like 20 miles before reaching Mikosukkee Indian Resort southbound.

Omaha, NE
Sighted at plane height over Omaha, Nebraska. We watched from a hill and initially spotted it as a small, stationary, red ball of light. It would occasionally switch to a blinking green light and then back to red. After looking at it for some time, it rapidly moved to the left, stopped, and it changed to a blinking green light. It then ascended in the blink of an eye (literally). As soon as you blinked, the light was an immense distance higher than it had been a second previously. We could see it ascending through the clouds so quickly that it could've climbed out of our sight in probably two seconds. It then turned back to a static red light (stopped flashing) and darted to the right across the entire sky. It was moving so quickly that we had to sprint to keep up with it. It covered the whole horizon. It then paused on a dime, shifted slightly to the left, and began a fast descent until it disappeared from sight into storm clouds. Only one light was observed. It was so high in the sky, and so erratically moving, that we could not place it as any normal object. We have never seen a normal object move so quickly and at such a high height. It was also quite far away, so for it to look as though it was moving so quickly, it must have been going at an unfathomably rapid speed.

A thunderstorm was forming, no rain yet, a red light was observed below the cloud and was stationary for a few seconds, then it fell straight down, disappeared, and reappeared and turned white, then fell below the tree line. This report was submitted on behalf of the eyewitness, who is very experienced in the airline industry, and who wishes to remain totally anonymous. The person who wrote the report has worked in the aerospace industry for many decades. PD

Adair Village, OR
I overserved the light as I passed by for approximately 20 seconds, until I drove further down the highway out of the line of sight from the light. When I was safely able to do so, I pulled off the highway, and turned around, attempting to see if I could get another look at the light. It was not present when I returned to the area where it was. It clearly did not resemble any type of aircraft.

2 lights in sky were flashing and rotating in counterclockwise direction. Lights seemed to be above clouds. No sound lights were greenish in color, they would blink about every quarter of the rotation. This went on for about 10 minutes. Then lights just vanished

I was looking at Venus and seen what I thought was a satellite. I told my son and his friend to look. At that moment, another bright light showed up behind that first one. And then another third one, and then they vanished.

St. Peters, MO
At 10:30 pm this evening I went outside in my back yard to secure the patio furniture for incoming storms that were predicted. The rear of my house faces due north. I looked up into the sky and saw lightning far off in the distance towards the north. I then noticed two red balls of light traveling from the west (approximately along the path of I-70) moving to the east at a fairly rapid speed. At first I thought it might be a helicopter, or two. As they came closer, I heard no sound from any type of engine. Two lights travelling the same distance apart in the same path. Red orange in color, not blinking, but solid the entire time. As they came from the west, about the time they were directly behind my home, the lead light turned due north and appeared to gain altitude, fading from view, possibly behind clouds. The second light followed the exact same path as the first one, and also disappeared. About two to three minutes later, from the south west of my home, and closer to my home, I saw three additional lights, the exact same appearance as the first two. The first two were closer together, with the third one trailing a bit behind. I called my wife out to see what I was seeing, and to bring her cell phone to take pictures. She arrived, and confirmed that she was seeing what I was seeing. She tried to take pictures, but they did not turn out very well. Again, the three objects followed the same path of the first two, and turned due north, fading away from my view. No sound of any engine was ever heard, no other color of light was ever seen other than the red/orange solid light color. At first I thought it might be a Japanese lantern display of some kind, but the objects were moving too fast, and the winds were from the northeast, the opposite direction that the objects were moving. The two separate groups maintained a distinct separation distance from each other, and equal speed. Hot air Japanese lanterns would not behave this way. Aircraft routinely fly over our home as they move into the landing pattern for St. Louis Int. Airport Lambert Field. I know what an aircraft looks and sounds like, and how it behaves. I do not believe these objects to have been aircraft. I am not a believer in aliens, or UFO’s. I like to believe that there is a logical explanation for what my wife and I both clearly saw in the sky this evening. See attached jpg map of the flight path of these objects

Then a second bright light appeared from the same spot where the first light appeared, but it started moving west, traveling at the same speed as the first light, and for about the same amount of time, and then vanished.

We were by the convention center in Portland, OR when all of a sudden we saw these glowing lights in the sky that at first looked like flares but they never went away they were in the sky for nearly 5mins just hovering there almost looking like portals in a way, at first there was simply two of them until a 3rd came out of nowhere which still to this day is undescribable of what these things were.There was a black hawk helicopter that took off from the downtown police station that attempted to fly up near these lights, too.

While outside in my pool, I was looking the clear sky and the stars, suddenly I saw a bright light, very high in the sky, higher than the usual airplanes use to travel when I see them (frequently), in this area. The light was traveling at a high speed, faster than a commercial airplane. After entering in some clouds, it disappeared. I do not know if is a satellite, or a UFO, but I think is not an airplane because it was traveling at a very high altitude, and moving at a faster speed than I have seen on airplanes, and it was a single white and bright constant light, with out more lights, and no noise at all.
