National City, CA
I was driving home, going North on the I-805. In the sky ahead I saw 3 lights, 2 bright ones and 1 not as bright, maybe further or just smaller than the other 2. I first noticed the 2 bright lights then the smaller one, it may have detached from the other 2 or have been there just didn't notice it at first. The 2 brighter lights didn't move and the smaller light did, but then they all remained mostly stationary. I questioned if they were planes but then I saw what I knew was a plane, and the plane just flew past the lights, on what seemed like a normal route to the San Diego airport. I kept my eye on them since the moment I noticed until I arrived home. Due to a big tree in the way I don't know what happened to them.

Harper, TX
The object was seen traveling from west to east at a high rate of speed either in the upper atmosphere or in space. It was a brilliant white and then disappeared in the earth's shadow. It moved approximately 3x faster than the ISS does when it is able to be seen. I grew up around the Sierra Nevada in Central CA, been around Edwards AFB, worked as a firefighter on a helicopter throughout the Western United States, and am currently a teacher. I know what I saw, and this vehicle was moving incredibly fast for the altitude it was traveling at. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Bright, round light moving fast traveling from West to East This object was round and white and looked like the planet Venus in the night sky. It was moving 3x faster than the ISS when seen from Earth. It was moving from West to East, and faded into the earth's shadow south of my location. I saw a similar object over my house in November 2016 traveling from South to North with the same speed. No sound was emitted from the vehicle. ((END ADDENDUM)) We spoke via telephone with the source of the report, and he impressed us with his eloquence and his serious-minded demeanor. We suspect that he is a very skilled, and reliable, witness. PD

Bethel, OH
Eastern sky in the area of Clermont and Brown county line of s/w Ohio. Approximately 30 degrees of elevation. There were 5 lights together on the left and 2 to 3 on the right. The lights would illuminate brightly then go off completely. The lights would alternate lighting up and going dark and were not on simultaneously for more than a second or two. I watched this in disbelief as it was NOT an airplane or helicopter. The lights stayed in the same location not appearing to move. The lights gave off an orange/gold light and no noise was heard accompanying the lights.

Cape Girardeau, MO
A few minutes had passed since the object left visible side and then seem to reappear from a southeasterly direction traveling in a Northern Direction. This new path seem to be straight steady and approximately the same height. The light seemed to be a shade dimmer but still remained steady and visible. The night sky was clear with typical visible stars the temperature was in the low forties. Multiple other aircraft was present in the sky in multiple directions which was verified by a cell phone application to include aircraft identification. The anomaly that was seen was not identified by the applications radar. The entire event lasted approximately 5 minutes. The unidentified flying lightsource was witnessed by one adult female and one adult male. /// end of statement.

Torrance, CA
I heard no engine sound, and I saw no navigational lights. I could not tell at what altitude the lights were but they seemed very high. At about this same time a single engine monoplane came from the West, and it had navigation lights that I could see, although I don’t remember hearing it’s engine.

Huntington Beach, CA
i was driving northbound on the 405 freeway in Huntington Beach, ca at 06:45 am and i saw a light in the sky and I began filming with my galaxy S7.At first I thought it was a planes headlight, then realized the light was shining downward in an upside-down cone shape. It remained shining in the sky for about 40 seconds, then slowly closed up like the aperature of a camera lens. It wasnt until about an hour later that i reviewed the video that i had taken and realized that it wasnt a ufo. It was a portal that had opened and then closed. The video is on you tube, and is pretty crappy due to driving/filming in morning rush hour traffic, but luckily there is a enough very clear video of the the portal to get a decent understanding of what happened. Note) Another person in Newport Beach, (a neighboring city), filmed the same event and his video was featured on a well known you tube channel that has recently had all of its videos removed and some other mysterious events occur. So 2 videos of this portal, from different angles, exist somewhere out there in the ether.

Turlock, CA
My son and I saw a light as bright as the moon. It was large, I observed it to be 1/5 to 1/4 of the moon's diameter. It seemed to be moving South to North. We saw it for 15-20 seconds, and then it seemed to just blink out. I looked like there were smoke trails coming from where it went dark. It was still very dark, so the smoke trails may have just been after effects from seeing such a bright light.

Roseville, CA
What appeared to be a star-like light caught my attention on the horizon while driving west bound on highway 80 leaving Roseville. It looked as though it was shining a spotlight in a cone-like shape downward from the object, then sideways as it moved. Suddenly the object was gone and it appeared it left behind a cloud or smoke where the light was. It was too slow to be a shooting star or a meteor. A helicopter was flying near it on the horizon giving context. It did not appear to be a plane or another helicopter.

Was driving home from work, when a bright light flashed in front of me. It was blinding. When I came to my senses I was still driving, but 13 minutes had passed. I also noted that the song on the radio had changed. Upon getting home found burns on my upper back, and the back of my hands. We have responded to the source of the report, requesting to see photos of the burns. PD

Driving home in AJ, me and my girl saw 2 huge yellow round flashes of light just off the horizon to the west, over phoenix area. About 2 minutes apart, the second one looked like it might have been lightning in the clouds, but didnt see arcs, it was yellow, and lightning tracker showed clear skies all the way to california.

Wausau, WI
Looked like a star in the sky, but the rays of light coming off of it were much longer and brighter. Much brighter than the north star. Was heading west in general direction towards city. Was moving extremely slowly, 20 minutes to move from behind a tree (it was far up in the sky like a plane, tree is not being used to judge its height). At 20:15 i go to our skycam service near our mall, and right when i get a connection the camera goes down seconds later to pitch black, then 3 dots ... like it is loading, then in top left it says "initialzing camera ...." it turns on and it quickly being 'moved' by someone, everything out of focus, the camera is panned, then shut off and now it says 'opps there is an error" down.........some strange strange shit, go and look at the camera logs if they even exist anymore....... (( Venus?? PD)

The object was regularly pulsating, changing it's brightness. After about a minute it changed direction at what appeared to be a right angle, and continued going until it was no longer visible. I was able to get a couple pictures and about 30 seconds of video.

Torrance, CA
I immediately went outside to look and asked him where to look in the sky, and he said north. I couldn't see anything but looked for some point of reference and noticed an airliner taking off from LAX (it was climbing) some 10.7 miles away north west from our location at mother's in Torrance Ca. I asked him if he could see the jet and he said no but would go to the front yard to get an unobstructed view. While he was moving from the back yard to the front I could see a flash that lasted about one second. The flash was about 60% the size of a full moon. This object flashed three times and at three second intervals, and on the third flash I could see what appeared to be a star but in full daylight as it was a very bright white light. I then noticed a pinkish orange flash coming from the star object at three second intervals. My son came back on the phone and said it was on a collision course with the airliner which he could now see. The star object would flash for a second coast for three seconds and then flash again for a second. At this point my eyes were adjusted and I could see a second identical object trailing the first. It was also flashing pinkish orange but at two second intervals until it caught up with the first object. The scene left me with the impression it was dropping down from a higher altitude to a lower one. The second star craft was as it was dropping down reminded me of a shooting flare much like a descending flare from a flare gun except it was bright white. When the two objects were even they both were flashing in complete unison as if they were mirror images of each other. They were perfectly side by side and were headed from the northwest towards the southeast. They gave me the impression like, they were skipping across the sky. Like an ice skater, rhythmic and smooth. I told my son I could see two objects and they were headed towards me. I looked at my watch and it was 15:50 and told my son to go to work because the incident distracted him from going to work. He was suppose to be at work at 16:00 and he hung up the phone and went to work. The airliner was headed perfectly due east and I could see the airliner and star objects converge. I almost expected a collision but the star objects were well above the airliner because one of the star objects was blotted out by the mass of the jet but for only a split second. Just when I thought it couldn't get any better a third object appeared as if it just dropped in on the other two objects. The third object dropped in on the other two exactly like the second star object. I expected the third Starcraft to line up with the other two but it did not, it went into what I think was a kind of missing man formation. It hung slightly back of the other two and at a distance double the distance of the first two objects. Had there been a fourth object lined up with the other three they would have been perfectly spaced. Like this. * * * * except the far right third object was slightly behind like this. • • * Size and Distance if a circle is 360 degrees and from horizon is 180 degrees then the the two objects were about 5 degrees apart and the third object at 10 degree and slightly back. My son sighted the first object at 15:40 I caught site of the first one at roughly 15:48 by 15:50 my son left for work he said he seen two and missed the third possibly because by 15:48 they were closer to me than him. The third object went back up and disappeared while the two continued southeast until I lost sight of them at about 15:55 due to the distance. They were almost directly over head and my neck is sore form looking up so long. They seemed too slow as by my estimation if you could have seen them from horizon to horizon it would have taken them 30 minutes to make that distance. Between my son and I we watched them for 15 minutes. Thank you for your work.
