I looked it up if it was a satellite and none were flying by at the time I saw this. It moved about twice as fast as the ISS that I usually see. I looked up that the ISS flew by at around 8:49PM according to a website that it would be flying by in my town when I typed in my zip code 60453. This object that was no satellite flew by at 9:50PM. It was slowly pulsating every 2 to 4 seconds for the first 12 seconds then it stopped then the last 15 seconds it would get bright and sometimes the brightness faded a little. It flew almost over head. One witness I was with would barely want to look at it when I was telling them to look at it. They did say the saw for a second. They told me it was white and was maybe space junk. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

El Mirage, AZ
Saw 12-16 lights following in a crude line across the sky at dusk. They looked like stars but it was still a little early and light out to see stars. They meandered slowly and oddly and gave off constant light so we knew it wasn't aircraft from Luke air force base. They moved like nothing I've ever seen. They headed east towards a bright star or close planet perhaps -east by north east- before they disappeared out of view. It lasted about 10 minutes from when I first noticed them.

Marine park Bklyn, NY
Saw one large light source and one smaller behind clouds over the North East direction when standing in am open area in marine park in Bklyn. It was almost as if the moon was red and behind clouds blinking red and white in a slow steady rate, then it would blink rapidly, then just a steady red or white light. This went on for about an hour and every min that passed, it looked as if a craft was seconds from coming thru the clouds. But unfortunately it never did. (I need to add that the moon tonight was crescent and was opposite sides of the sky, this was no moon light. There was also a similar light source that was MUCH bigger just to the north of the first one. It was a steady white light behind the clouds, no red, but would get very bright and then just dull out to dim, but was always on the entire time as the first one. I'll never know what made these lights tonight but I'm ((name deleted)), hoping there are others that saw this. Hoping. I need to also add that witness! #3 had her Lab dog with her, who couldn't help but stare herself at these lights, so even a dog knew that this wasn't normal.

At first I thought it was a plane but not normal color. I looked away, as I walked to my car, then looked back at the light about 10 seconds later. I saw that it had moved closer to me towards the south. This suprised me since it seemed to have moved quite a distance in the span of 10 seconds. As I was looking at it it dropped straight down and then at a right angle at about 60 degrees and then out of sight behind the hills to the north. The duration of the movement was less than one second. I don't know the distance, but I would say at least 10 miles away from my position. What ever it was it moved impossibly fast and turned at a sharp angle. The weather was clear with no clouds and a beautiful stary night.

Corona, CA
June 11th, 2017. On May 27th, 2017, around 8:00 p.m., while waiting for my clothes in the dryer, I was standing outside the garage doing some stargazing as I usually do. I noticed a dull red light proceeding west to east at tremendous speed. Airline jets usually fly over at high altitude, which I can usually judge their speed, but this light I estimated had to be going close to 3000 mph. It was in my sight coming from the west in an absolute horizontal line and didn’t deviate. It was out of sight to the east about 5-8 seconds after I saw it. Completely silent as well, no sonic boom either. It didn’t appear to be a meteor as there was no streak or tail. It wasn’t a satellite that I’ve seen plenty of as well out here in the dark of Corona. We are well away from the city lights. I was wondering if anyone else saw this light but no one I asked saw it or happened to be out looking up at the sky at that moment. I am perplexed by what I saw as I am highly interested in aircraft but I cannot come up with an explanation for this light that I saw. The perceived velocity of an object depends on its distance from the witness. Unless the witness has an accurate measurement of the distance, the velocity cannot be calculated. PD

I looked out my bedroom window at around 10:30 PM Friday, May 26th, 2017, to see a large series of lights rotating counter clockwise. It appeared as though the lights were forming a very large circular craft. There appeared to be a secondary craft about half the size of the first rotating in the opposite direction than the original series of lights and hovering adjacent. I ruled out search lights as the sky was very cloudy, and no streaks of lights indicating a ground level light were seen, just large pull shaped lights slowly circling. There was no sound to be heard. The phenomenon lasted an hour and a half after I had originally seen it through my window, there is no telling whether or not it had started earlier. At 12:00 midnight I returned to the window to check on the position of the lights and they had completely disappeared without a trace. Another thing worth nothing: during the time that the lights were visible, three conventional aircrafts were heard. I heard one helicopter, and two planes. I live close to Logan Airport, commercial flights are very common to see and hear, but the two planes sounded distinctly louder and were only breifly heard. The lights remained well after the conventional aircrafts had left earshot.

I woke up at about 3:00 in the morning was sitting in bed {with the window open to get some fresh air} looking at my tablet when a bright white light in the sky caught my attention and I remember thinking what the hell is that because it was too bright (I would say 3x as bright} to be a plane and it had no other flashing lights on it so I got up and went to the window to get a better look and realized this thing is scooting along pretty well it was hauling ass for a plain. When I first saw the light {my window faces south} it was traveling from the west heading east you know California to New York and as soon as It was almost above me it started heading south-east for about 5 seconds and then turned south heading away from me until it diapered behind some clouds. It travelled that distance in about 30 seconds. I realize now that the brightness of the light never changed even when it was traveling away from me and only dimed when it went behind some clouds. I live near an airport and see planes come and go all the time. I used to work at that airport and so what I am saying is I think I know planes fairly well. What I saw was definitely not a commercial airliner. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Went outside to take the dogs out- super clear night. Saw a bright light going really fast from the west to the east. The craft stopped abruptly and started coming back from west to east. It then stopped again and was zig zagging all over. The lights would get really bright then dim. We could almost see a tail of some sort coming from behind or around it. At one point it got really bright and two smaller lights shot out of it! Those lights moved in a straight direction and then came back circling around the main craft/ object. It seemed to have a spot light coming off it at different times. The movement was sporadic- it's almost as if its the beginning it was heading for a destination and then it got there and stopped and several different things happened. It was extremely odd and something I have never seen before. It was crazy to watch it--we went inside after watching it for 20 minutes.

Pine Bluff, AR
My husband and I were on our way back from picking up a pizza and after I'd climbed out of our truck something just told me to look up. When I did, I noticed a light that was as bright as one of the brightest starts moving quickly and steadily across the sky. I called my husband over quickly because he was lagging behind me. He rushed over and was just as dumbfounded as I. At that moment I rushed into my home, leaving my husband to keep observing, placed my pizza on the sofa, and called my neighbor outside. He was awaiting our return with the pizza. He rushed out and all 3 of us watched this object. At this time we noticed that this light, although as bright as a star, was much lower because you could actually see it moving below the real stars. Whatever this light was, it never made a sound, it never changed colors, and the speed and flight path never changed. At some point my neighbor pulled out his cellphone and began recording the object until it eventually flew out of sight. If the object would have stopped, it would have been indistinguishable from a star. Its movement is what provided the perspective that it was lower than actual stars.

I was outside having final cigarette before going to bed, I always look at the stars at night, I noticed what appeared to be a shooting star, the closer it came the brighter it got, I was getting excited cause it looked like it was go to pass over me, that would be the first time that happen, but it shoot back in the way it came in a flash. Never seen anything like it. No plane moves that fast so it is a unidentified flying object. I still don't know how to wrap my mind around what I just saw. I'm so sorry to all the UFO people I doubted and laughed at. If your seeing regularly then all I can say is wow

North Salt Lake, UT
Date: 5/23/17; time 4:40-5:00; two witnesses. Appeared East from NSL over the mountains several kilometers away, object was circular in shape, emitting light that varied in intensity and shape. Object began emitting light rays that varied from spiky to wavy. After 7 minutes of doing this, object appeared to raise in altitude very quickly, and began emitting light rays again, after repeating this for approximately another 10 minutes, object disappeared suddenly without a trace or sound. Light behavior was very strange, almost as if object was being manipulated.

there were two orange lights coming from over Lookout Mountain antennas. They made no sounds, they moved towards us then stopped then moved together then one slowly moved up the other down and then disappeared there was no cloud cover for them to disappear in.

I watched for about 2 mins and then the three pulsating lights took off in different directions away from the non pulsating star. Just disappeared.

May 22, 2017 Yesterday was a beautiful warm day. The sky was clear with patchy clouds here and there. As it began getting dark, I was disappointed because as usual, the sky was overcast, and not many stars could be seen. Maybe around 11pm, I was outside having a smoke and looking up to the sky. Night before last, within about 10 minutes, I seen what I think were satellites. Two separate tiny white lights, like specks, no flashing or any other colors just steady white light zoom across the sky. Tonight, all of the sudden I see one solid white speck of light but it's much lower than the two that I seen the night before. Travelling fast, steady white light. I grab the camera but my screen is broken so I can't see what I'm aiming at. Pointed it in the direction of the light which I can see with my eyes but it's already a bit away from me. I did manage to capture a few seconds of it on video but the quality is poor. I had some house chores to do and made a late dinner. Remembered that I needed to send an email with photos attached so went upstairs to do so. I'm borrowing a computer from a friend and not used to Windows 10 and had to figure out how to download the pics from my camera. And I got sidetracked... Next thing I know, it's almost 4am! I turn off the tv and look outside and quickly notice a super bright orange light in the flight path but it seems to be descending. It was very low, grabbed the camera and pointed in it's direction. Then a bright white light comes from same direction and looks to be slowing down. I took five separate videos because the lights were busy - doing something for probably 20 minutes. Two of those videos did not come out. You can hear me on them but no video was recorded until the last few seconds of one. I was surprised and almost couldn't believe what I was seeing. All together, I think there was at least four lights - low, and they would break into different lights flashing - at one point, the first two lights were making a cross of red, yellow and blue flashing very quickly but that doesn't show on the video. I'm a bit embarassed of the quality of my video - it's extremely poor - Canon Powershot, video taken outside my upstairs bedroom win! dow through the screen. Diidn't have another angle accessible for viewing. Got just a bit nervous towards the end of videoing because a couple of the lights seemed to flash close. Don't know how to describe but my friend and I have captured many videos in the past and sometime when capturing unusual lights - it might not be noticed by the person filming at the time, but upon reviewing, it will seem like the light(s) will suddenly come up on you quick. Oh, and my cat kept getting in the way. In one of the videos, there's a weird sound, otherwise, it was quiet outside. I'm estimating some people around the Sumner, Pacific, Edgewood areas HAD TO HAVE SEEN THESE. I have no idea how low they were but from where I was watching, the lights were below. I almost called the cops because I've heard of other people doing that - to see if anyone else had called but it was after 4 am and didn't want to sound like a crack pot.

Los Gatos Mountains, CA
Some had been behind us for a second then we're gone then again and gone just before getting to the driveway. The rest were in sky (3 that I could see) blueish, greenish and yellow/orange tinted diff altitudes sort of triangle formation. Two were flashing from the canyon on the mountain or more. Like signals I'm not sure. But also was bright large glowing area in the steep parts of mountain multi colored but all lights mostly white with different hues I guess is the proper description? Did anyone else see this tonight? Maybe you can explain it to us? Thank you for any explanations at all. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

It midnite dark as i was looking the stars. I was outside because I had forgoten to put out the cans at on the street. As I was looking at the stars, I observed an object that was from the east about the attitude of an aircraft. Although it was not making any sound. Object had at least three to four lights, green and red. As it silently went by above me across the night sky disappearing towards west.

Delaware, OH
I had just come out of my garage and looked up at the clouds and saw 3 bright plusing lights, the first light looked like it was being followed/chased. Then the first light looked like it stoped in the air and the second light slowed as it approached the first one, then i lost them both in a cloud bank as it has been stormy here today, then there were 2 flashes in the cloud. that was when i noticed the 3rd light coming up from the south very fast then that one got lost from my line of sight to in a cloud bank too. All of this toom place over a few minutes, i tried to get cell phone video, but i pressed the wrong button and didn't record anything. It didn't occur to me till after but there were no helicopter or jet sounds, i would guess the objects were at an altitude of 2500-10,000 feet as they flew up into the clouds. I waited for the cloud banks to pass to see if they were still in the area i saw them but they were not. I would guess they went back south or east or southeast, since it was clear to the other directions.

Shortly after doing a high-vibration meditation, while holding hands in a circle with about 50 others at Giant Rock, CA, an amber craft appeared to the northeast. My wife saw it through night vision goggles, while I had just missed seeing it as I raced over to the others as it disappeared to the northwest behind Spy Mountain. Within minutes, loud roaring of what sounded like jet engines and a military helicopter came from the east/northeast followed by another a minutes or so later. These then came around the south side of Spy Mountain, heading south, and clearly could see an elongated amber light being followed by a military helicopter with flashing lights. The amber light was not flashing and had no other lights visible. The amber light sped off to the south and the helicopter could not keep up. This was interesting how we invited them to appear with the meditation, and the first thing that happens is our military chases them. Please see other reports about the same event. PD

I repeat just right before this report one from day before. We went to park on Lo my beach and I really wanted to see ufo again but this time take least a photo. Because the first time I was just watching. And for my luck I really before we went back to the car we saw the same object as day before. I have video and also photo. I am 99 porcent sure it was the same as the day before. But the day before, I am 100000 % sure it was aliens. This one was up in the sky and it wasn't moving ..it was just staying at the same place and was it like very shining circle and again was lighting up and off. I will send a video. And after a few minutes, went down.. behind my horizon.

Hi. We were celebrating kids b day party. And around 7pm (still was light, very beautiful weather). We (about 20 people) saw about 6 or 7 flying objects maybe more then 3 miles away from us. I'm absolutely sure it was not nothing I know or I ever saw before, the same the other people say. We saw round shape light objects. Was flying not so fast around the cost of city of long beach. First object seems as leader, because was as first and was most high, then was a little space and then was other I guess 5 objects behind flying the same speed. And they were randomly first one high the other one behind was a little under but behind still. Third one being agaIn different hight. But all was very close. And all these object were something like no like light blink but it was more like white bright shine light slowly up and off and just like this they were flying around the coast. We saw them until one house was in front of us. Some man record it. But I can't connect with him. But I hope I will. Cuz I don't know him. I was just watching them with happy feelings ND fear at the same time.

pink hazy egg-shaped light, no real definition saw while driving, noticed it a few times so it seemed to be stationary, must have been in the sky at least a few minutes because I was driving (west on highway 12). I couldn't get a great look at it.

Bowie, MD
The sky was clear and blue. at 3:15PM I was driving east on Route 50 from D.C. towards Bowie, and a very bright (stronger in intensity than, say, Venus) light suddenly appeared in the distant sky straight ahead at a 45-degrees position over the horizon, for approximately twenty five to thirty seconds. Since Route 50 was congested I could only glance at it about five or six times during the 25-second period. Each glance lasted about two to five seconds. Then it was gone--just vanished. I continued to watch where it had been until I got to Route 301 to turn off and there was no plane or dark object that would indicate an aerial vehicle producing it. When I got home I checked the map and it appeared to have been high over Annapolis or Edgewater, Maryland, a distance of 17 miles from where I saw it. But that's a guess--it could have been farther away.
