Anoka, MN
I stood there for about five minutes, browsing the sky, when I seen this perfectly round, super bright white ball and round like a marble that had no noise....no blinking lights....no trail debris like comets, asteroids, planes or space debris leave behind. I needed to get an approximate size. To get a more accurate size of UFO I held up my fingers on my right hand very quickly because the UFO was travelling extremely fast.. My pinky finger at arms length matched the size of the UFO. The bright moving UFO passed from over our home from a northwest direction in a perfectly straight line to the southeast. It was difficult to determine altitude. I'd take a guess and say higher than most man made aircraft. The event only lasted about twenty too thirty seconds. I never forget the experience. I tell people, and they think I'm making up the whole UFO experience. I know what I've seen up in the heavens. We're not allown.

Summerdale, AL
I work in a facility that doesn't allow photography or cellphones. Me and my superviser stepped outside (cloudy day), and to the north of us was a large perfect circle of lights that flashed all around in a synchronized fashion, me and him stared at it in amazment as it glided through the air, me and him have never in our lives seen anything like it. It had maybe 15 to 20 lights all the way around (no physical aircraft was visible), from where we were standing the object would have had to have been rather large. We couldn't tell how high it was but it was completely silent. It was moving from east to the west, he called his parents and told them to get a camera and go outside as they lived about 5 miles away from where the object should have been flying directly over but they never saw anything, we still do not know what we saw and everyone we have discussed this with has not said anything about seeing this object.

Adel, IA
At approximately 8:30 PM CST, Thursday, February 9th, I witnessed a bright twinkling bronze light on the Eastern horizon. The object bore resemblance to the iconic “North Star,” but much larger and seemly closer. At first I thought it might be a street light, as it was stationary and in comparable size to one roughly half a block down from me, until it began to move behind the street light in my view. I saw the object gradually move North, while maintaining its position on the horizon. I made a quick effort to locate my phone, in hopes of taking a picture, but by the time I returned, the object was steadily moving out of my line of sight, until I lost track of it beyond the trees. My guess was this may have been a satellite, but I have no way to confirm. Source of the report elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. PD

Avondale, AZ
Between 21:30-21:45 tonight I witnessed one large orange light moving in a straight horizontal line. It was in the Northeast sky high up next to Ursa Major at that time in the evening sky. It slowly moved in a southwesterly direction. At first I assumed it was an airplane or helicopter of some kind, but as it continued towards my direction I could hear absolutely no sound coming from it. The light was changing from an orange to reddish orange color and the light had star like shaped beams, similar to what commercial airplane lights look like when making their decent, or a headlight. It was incredibly bright, and larger than any other stars in the sky. I watched it for close to 5 minutes before I asked a family member to come outside and see it. We stood together watching it for another 2-3 minutes when it stopped moving and stayed stationary, bobbing around a little before fading into nothing. I could see no other signs of aircraft other than the one light. There were no other lights or air craft in the area at the time. I stayed outside looking for it for another 5-10 minutes and it did not return.

Kirkland, IL
I was driving from Kirkland to Belvidere, facing east when I saw an orange/red light glowing brighter and brighter for about 3 seconds, then dimmed out over the course of half a second. Then it happened immediately after, getting even brighter the second time, and fading out even quicker. I changed direction and headed north for two or three miles, and I saw two cars pulled over together, and another car pulled over about half a mile away from the other two. I pulled over a half mile later, got out of my car and saw what appeared to be a shooting star, but it was closer than usual, with white and greenish colors. It was heading north as well, and was in my line of sight for a second before disappearing towards Wisconsin.

North Myrtle Beach, SC
Large bright light stationary in the sky, watched for a good 8-10 min then had to run to the store real quick before 9pm. When I got back home 20 min later there was no sign of it in the sky. The light was 4-5 times brighter then the North Star and seemed to pulsate super bright to bright repeatedly.

Port Orchard, WA
Driving west on SR 16 just west of Purdy Drive exit saw a bright blue light which seemed to off towards the northeast of my location. The light lasted a brief time maybe three seconds followed by a blue/green light which lasted about twenty seconds. It was bright and beautiful. There were other vehicles driving on the highway you couldn't miss it. I did not see any shapes. Background I'm a 42 year old married father. I was returning home from work in my County issued vehicle. I'm employed with King County. Source of report indicates that the date is approximate. PD

Minneapolis, MN
I was driving home from work very early in the morning on 2/6/17 about 2:30 am. I was driving eastbound across the Mississippi River bridge on I-94. I looked to the southeast and saw a bright ball of light moving downward at what appeared to be between a 45 and 90 degree angle. It was moving very fast and I lost sight of it as some trees came between me and the light. My first impression was it looked like a missile, but I saw no flashes or smoke. There was no visible tail on the light. From the speed, angle of movement, and appearance it did not look like a plane, helicopter, or drone. I make no claims to know what it was, but it was definitely odd enough that it made me take note. We have corrected the date above, to reflect a sighting on the morning of the 6th of February. PD

Cape May Court House, NJ
After a few minutes I saw up to seven jets converging on the light. I counted their contrails. I lost the light while taking a bend in the road. It was gone by the time I was back in a good viewing area. The jets seemed to return to where they had come from to.

Mesa, AZ
Looking south from McDowell Rd and 202, I saw three pulsing lights hovering in a straight line. After 20 seconds or so, all three lights disappeared. This is the second time in 3 months I have seen these. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Kailua, HI
Sitting in a parking lot looking at the stars. We noticed a light incredibly brighter than any other star. After about 3-4 minutes it broke off into two separate lights, one on top of the other. We then noticed a red light floating above the two other bright lights. After about 10 min the red light disappeared. After about 5 min the two bright lights morphed back into one. As we were about to leave the light moved quickly to the side and stayed there. After about 10 more minutes, the light disappeared.
