Franklin, TN
Went outside to take a night walk and noticed it was starting to lightning and sprinkle. We looked into the sky to see how frequent the lightning was and noticed a floating light moving across the sky from low in the south southwest horizon in a low arc and disappearing in the north northeast sky at about a 35 degrees above the horizon. The light looked like a single flickering flame and was moving about like an airplane would fly, but there was no noise and they were just below the clouds. After we noticed the first one, there were 6 more that came behind it, perfectly spaced apart in the same arc.

Tolland, CT
Prior to March 17, 2017, I treated UFO reports as simply more sensationalist seeking hogwash. I still don’t know what the object was, can’t even explicitly define it as a UFO, but what I and my wife saw that night while driving in Tolland, CT, 12:45 AM was very strange. Orange light motionless in the sky. We watched it for a while as we tried to determine if it was a planet or an airplane heading to Bradley airport. We dismissed the plane theory because it was not moving. Dismissed the planet theory because it was too big. At one point my wife said it’s a house on top of the mountain, to which I responded there is no mountain in Connecticut that high. I made a left turn to go up a hill to get a better look. As the car rounded the corner at the top of the hill we saw the orange glow like a huge sodium lamp in the sky. I stopped the car and that’s when the bizarre behavior began. The previously stationary light moved quickly to the right, faster than a helicopter or any other aircraft, but slower than a meteorite, made sweeping left turn and disappeared behind the trees. There was no sound, I had opened the car window. I took a picture of my location with my cell phone but when I checked the picture, the GPS coordinates were not recorded. Weird and frightening. My wife can verify. We were not drinking, neither of us do drugs, and we were not dreaming.

2 objects of white dim light Parallel to each other came together in an almost contact 1 shot straight upward within 5 seconds was gone 1 rejected backwards into the direction it came from and was gone within 30 seconds both went bright white then dimmed into nothing within 1 minute I have seen planes fly metors and shooting stars before What I witnessed was not something I can believe even seeing it with my own eyes I stood in shock for 5 minutes after I tried to record video on my phone Only black sky I don't believe what I seen with my eyes But whatever it was It wasn't human Both white lights were small Came from nowhere within a second almost collided with each other omitted very bright white light and split from each other I have never seen such a thing in my life ever It wasn't a satellite it wasn't a plane The objects moved faster then light What was it? I think it's the government I don't believe in Aliens I want to believe We wonder whether this report is an attempt to hoax our Center. PD

Gull Lake, MI
Was laying down and noticed a very bright light in the sky. Thought it was a star until I noticed its very small movements. Once my friend came to take a look it had gotten further away and moved a bit to the side in the sky. Eventually it got so much distance it looked like a smaller light as if it slowly drifted up in the sky. At first I was able to see it bright and easily from where I was laying and after about an hour it was much further away and it had moved to the point where I couldn't see it from where I was laying anymore.

Auburn, WA
Observed several red flickering lights rising single file at various sporadic intervals to an an elevation of 1500 to 2000 feet (best guess), move sideways a short distance, continue flickering for several minutes and then each light would stop flickering one by one as though they were being turned off by some imaginary switch.

Wareham, MA
Looked as bright as Venus and was in between Venus and sister star. It paused directly between them then changed direction to the moon. Continued to the moon and washed out in the moon's light. I waited for it to come out of the moon's light for 10 minutes. Nothing appeared to come out.

San Diego, CA
From the beach in Oceanside, CA, 25 miles north of Mt Soledad (La Jolla), I observed the formation of lights described by "the pilot" in the other report. I was driving down Pacific Coast Highway, when I noticed the triangle pattern of 3 extremely bright yellow orange lights. I drove to a beach parking lot adjacent to Wisconsin Street in Oceanside to get a clear view over the ocean of the lights. Other people there at the beach were observing the lights as well and remarking that they seemed strange. The lights appeared to be 5 to 10 miles off the San Diego coast over the ocean due West of La Jolla. The lowest light of the triangle pattern may have been 5,000 to 7,500 feet in altitude. The 2 upper lights of the triangle formation were not level, and may have been in the 10,000 to 12,500 altitude range. The triangle was large and the lights were much brighter in intensity than any aircraft landing lights would have been at that distance. I tried to t! ake a picture with my cel phone camera but the images did not register. All of us present observed the light pattern for about 10 minutes, then one seemed to turn off. I drove off, continuing Southward on Pacific Coast Highway towards home, and when I looked about 10 minutes later the lights were gone. My thought was the lights may have been some type of signal flares and perhaps the Navy was conducting some sort of training or practice exercise off of the San Diego coast. I have seen signal flares in the night sky at Camp Pendelton and they slowly descend and weaken as they drop. These lights did not descend and were at least 10x's brighter or more than any signal flare I've seen. I've done a couple of Google searches and couldn't find any mention or explanation. When I came across the other report from "the pilot" on Mt Soledad, I realized we had observed the same lights, and decided to file this report. I do not believe earth has ever been visited by "extraterrestrials", I believe there is a man made explanation of these lights.

Grand Isle, LA
On March the 15th I was working just off the coast of Grand Isle, LA, on a Production Platform in the Gulf of Mexico. Talking to my wife on my phone, and I noticed red circular lights in the sky, kinda like the lights from a projector from a casino. We are 10 mile offshore and there are no typre of projectors, boats, or platforms that could make these type of lights. It was dark outside and the time I first noticed the lights and when they disappeared was approximately 1 minute. I did not have time to take a picture or film them. I have never seen anything like this before. The light were going in a circular motion then disappeared. I never saw a craft of any type, just the lights. They were approximately 150 ft. off the water and only had the red lights, no color changes.

I observed a very bright, shimmering white light far away from me in the sky. I observed it for approximately 10 minutes, while driving down the road. Then, as if someone turned off a light switch, it disappeared.

Volcano, CA
Saw a bright light in the sky above the tree line. Light appeared to change colors. Smaller fainter lights blinked around the bright light and the bright light would move towards the fainter lights. This light did not appear to move with the stars and remained in the same area for two hours. My wife and I both witnessed the light.

Lakehead, CA
It was late night, i was 17 years old, with a friend, we were planning on doing a evp session for fun, exploring open things , so we went to the benches at a rv park in the the clearing, when eventually he decided to show me a picture of a “ star “ on his phone. I was like okay whatever, because i was more interested in the evp session rather than his picture. So then It caught my attention, by seemingly growing bigger in the sky , then as i was looking, many lights came out of it and then one zipped right over us at an instant, it was very bright with electric looking static touching everything around us, and a thunder-like sound came shortly after. It was hovering over us slowly but fast if that makes sense, then it almost instantly zipped back up and right back into the star in the sky and that star went back in place like normal but it was not twinkling ever. He had his mouth openish the whole time , and right after it went back, he turned to me and said in a robotic emotionless way “ i am tired, i am going to sleep now “ and walked to his house in a weird robotic way. So then my reaction was like okay… then i began walking home in the dark trying to understand what i just encountered, i began assessing movies ive seen and trying to relate to them , overthinking about it. I couldnt sleep because i was still trying to understand it rather than sleep. Another time shortly after, on new years that year going into 2017 , everyone was partying at that park we were at , and me and another friend were walking to my house in the dark alone, and we wanted to play games then suddenly we just randomly had the feeling right after to just walk back to the park so we did , then as we were walking we can see a bigish shadow of a man walking across the street near the corner and we assume its my dad because hes a big guy, but as we got closer he was gone and we dismissed it. Then as we turned the corner and began walking up the hill. We decidedly to turn around and we saw the man looking at us. I didnt see specific details of his dna features or whatnot but i did see him turning at us in the dark with the moonlight with my friend who remembers too, and that man took out a light that was a bright cord , but the light didnt light anything around but it was very bright, and instantly he vanished. We then reacted by looking at eachother saying what the F**** and he ran and I followed. Two storys, im welcome to take lie detector tests. It’s probably important details and information. The man was definitely observing us.

Wyandotte, MI
Noticed 2 bright lights about 20-30 degrees up in the ESE sky. One a very bright white and the other red. We thougth the white light may have been Jupiter, but both have remained in the same location for the last half hour. Both seem to wobble slightly. We drove to a nearby park to get a better look about 2 miles away. They were dimmer from that location. I will e-mail 2 photos I took.

Tonight we watched it as usual and it just took off and shot actoss the horizon toards new york. We thought at first it was the north star, it was so bright, but later we found out it was not. Not shown on any stat charts or planet. Polaris, the North Star, is not a very bright star. We have amended the time above, in order to reflect a nighttime sighting. We attempted to contact the source of the report via telephone, but the number is not valid. We receive many, many hoaxed calls and reports from Virginia, and we wonder whether this one might be yet another. PD

UFO report for 3/12/17, Paw Paw, Michigan My wife and I were leaving her fathers house about 7:25 PM (high clouds, no stars observed) I noticed a relatively bright orange light in the sky. It had no strobe visual, but it appeared to flicker some. I could hear no sound from it, and it was not moving significantly laterally, but it did appear to move closer to my location and then up before blinking out. I stopped the car and got out. I began taking a video with my cell phone of the object which began to blink out. Then my wife said there were two more. I continued taking video, I thought. I then realized I had not hit the record button and immediatley did so to just catch the end of the two lights as they blinked out. I looked at the area I thought they were over on Google Maps and it appears to be mostly wetlands. I thought they may be luminaries or drones, but not sure. They were high enough that luminaries would have been moving laterally with the wind at that altitude. Not sure what drones would have been doing out after dark, and why did they appear to rise at the end and then blink out. Not saying I know what they were, but I could come up with no explaination.

My fiancé and I were driving down 85 south, we were speaking casually when all of a sudden a HUGE bright light went from Left of my windshield to Right. It was going down in a slanted motion but incredibly fast. At that moment, we were both like, "Are you seeing what I'm seeing!?" It looked as if the object would crash but just disappeared. This was a light so bright we immediately knew it wasn't a shooting star. It wasn't a plane (nothing crashed) it also had no streak tail in the sky and no sound. It looked way to large to be anything logical. We couldn't believe what we just saw. My fiancé is not a believer and was in shock from what we had seen. NOTHING like it. There would be no way nobody else driving on the interstate could have missed it.

Des Moines, WA
I was driving south on 405 with my friend, where I noticed lights in the sky, flashing at the right side of my front windshield at about 7:15 pm. First, I thought it was reflection of the headlights of the cars that was following me. But suddenly this object moved to the left side of my car and started flying at the same speed with me. Now I and my friend saw it clearly. There were four lights of blue colour, egg form (colour could have changed because of the clouds) that moved quickly towards center where they met and then separated evenly in opposite directions. My friend said it was projector but I said it couldn't have crossed freeway. After I dropped off my friend I got to my home. I spent there about 20 minutes and drove to meet with friends in Bellevue. Google layed route through interstate 5 where I've met these lights again. I don't believe in coincidence and I also do not want to think it was helicopter chasing me with some kind of unusual projectors. The lights did not even touch the ground and did not have beams. I understood that this object was possibly changing it's altitude because the lights changed it's size. Second time I saw it, it was about 8:00 pm. It all happened on 03/10/2017. Finally after I got home at about 11 pm and parked the car. I've seen the reflection of the lights on the house I live in. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be quite serious and sober-minded. He added that he now believes that the reflection of lights on the house were due to headlights of vehicles on a nearby roadway, and that they did not have anything to do with his sighting, earlier in the evening.

Noticed a steady glowing red light in the sky moving east to west with a zig zag before it moved out of sight behind trees on the horizon. Red light was not blinking. The red light would however vary in intensity.

My brother and I last night where coincidentally are not so coincidentally discussing a recent report that came out from some Harvard scientists claiming that radio frequencies from deep space could be the signature of alien space travel. Just minutes after we talked about this, I looked up towards the Milky Way and song ((sic. saw two bright stars that I had never seen before near the bowl of the Milky Way. I realized that they were travelling together heading north. I told my brother to look and he saw them as well. They didn't make any erratic movements but they slowly dimmed until they were invisible to the naked eye. (( Satellites, being illuminated by the Sun, would not dim, as they traveled to the north. PD)

The object was pulsating in the western sky, it did not appear to move in any direction. The object would pulsat from orange in color to a bright white, it got larger in size the brighter it got. In approximately 5 minutes of seeing the object, it went from a bright white to blue in color and disappeared.
