Lansing, MI
Went out from indoor soccer arena. All my teammates were already gone. I headed out to the parking lot and saw exactly 30 bright yellow lights on the sky. The light was very strong, lots of light on these things. They were flying as if they were floating. They were floating in a pack, passing each other, going up and down. I had a flip flip phone, so I couldn't take a picture.

Longmont, CO
I continued to watch, when all of a sudden, it moved horizontally across the sky towards the West and then it just stopped on a dime. I noticed a plane with blinking lights flying past from West to East and almost immediately the red light zipped towards the plane heading East and again stopped on a dime as if examining the airplane. This all took about a total of 5 minutes. I then lost visual of the UFO in the treeline. The UFO was too far away to film with my sma! rtphone, but I had recalled seeing stuff like this before on the internet thinking it was all fake. I know what I saw and am now a believer. Keep watching the sky!

Austell, GA
Multiple aircraft arrived soon after. Slower than a shooting star, but faster than any commercial aircraft. Lost sight of it as it continued downwards beyond that tree line.

Boston, MA
It was about an hour after sunset, I was getting relieved from watch and happened to look out of the window to the ESE and caught 3 amber-red lights heading North towards Boston Logan International Airport at approximately 1,500-2,500 feet in a triangle formation; one of the trailing lights made a sudden maneuver and crossed the other that was trailing and proceeded North; As the lights crossed in front of me and headed away, the lights faded out as they were closing on the the airport. It was after I had lost the first three that I looked back to the South and saw more lights in no particular formation, but on the same heading and altitude, about 15-20 went by in total. By the time these showed up, 5 other witnesses had spotted them from below my vantage and confirmed what I had seen. On the level I was, there had been another witness as well. Also, of note was a cruise ship that had departed and been in the channel fairly close by at the time. There were no clouds, but I could not make out any stars prior to or during the event; winds minimal and temperature mild. The lights moved at a steady speed, approximately 50-70 knots, a steady altitude, and in full unison towards the North. No sounds could be heard emanating from them, or other lights. Shape and exact size could not be determined. The lights/what they were attached to were clearly under intelligent control whether it is ours or not I can not say. I was able to get two cell phone videos but they did not catch very well the extent of what I saw. I did notice that after all of the lights had passed, a helicopter had followed close behind and proceeded towards the North, but avoiding Logan airspace-it did not appear military and was plainly visible. It should be noted that these lights continued through Logan airspace without regard to it. Of note is that a line of landing airplanes could be seen coming from the North and landing at Logan-very close together and I had not seen them do this for the two months I had been here-once the objects passed, some planes had refrained from touching down and began to gain altitude to continue their flights.

Athens, GA
Fast moving green sphere of light that zig-zagged once and moved over the horizon. The light was larger than the lights on aircraft. It was too low in the sky to be a shooting star or satellite, nor did it have a tail.

Cicero, NY
21:30 To the NNW, there was a very bright white pulse of light, brighter than any star, for about one second. As the pulse diminished, a white object could be seen, moving NNW, quickly diminishing to the intensity of a star, and then invisible. 21:45 To the North, another bright pulse of white light, but could not detect any movement. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite responsible and sober-minded. PD

Ellesmere (UK/England) · United Kingdom
i saw 1 light behind some clouds which was hazy then bright, then another two which did a 90-degree right turn and back which was really quick movement like someone with a torch,then two went out then back on really bright behind these clouds. they seemed to fade in and out. i saw one plane to the north east of the clouds but this all happened over 5or so minutes, it was to bright for planes and to stationary well. the cloud line was really high in the sky. The sighting was between Ellesmere [Shropshire] and Whitchurch.. For some strange reason, the witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD

Oak Lawn, IL
I was driving from 111th & Cicero to 103rd & Cicero in Oak Lawn. While I was driving I saw a white light coming down Cicero that looked like the ISS. It had no blinking lights. I watched it and the red traffic light too at around 107th & Cicero it was moving at about the Sam speed as the other planes in the sky. At one time I thought it wad a star because it looked to be not moving. It went over head I stuck my head out window it had 2 white lights close to each other. I did not hear any sound from it going over head. It was weird. If it was a plane they didn't have any blinking lights on. It was just flying over the street Cicero going down it like it was interested in the cars going down the street. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Elmore County (House Mountain Road), ID
When we came out of the limited access area we did not see a truck or vehicle for this guy and we did not see a vehicle going in for him to be walking to. ODD We were passing by the gated area for this area going back to camp at about 9 pm. and it was pitch black at night except for the old dim headlights of my 1995 Taurus wagon I use as a beater. All of the sudden the whole draw lit up as if a flash from a huge stobe had went off, and at that same instant a ball of light smaller than a volkswagon bug, but larger than a beachball, shot straight up into the sky. There was NO noise produced. My son said, "Dad some idiot just shot off a flare." I stopped the car, put in park and we got out of the car and watched it ascend to jet liner altitude in about 5 seconds....it slowed zigged and zagged for 30 seconds or so and then made a left turn and vanished after a couple of minutes. We were both astonished at this and ........it was no flare. I am a retired professional structural firefighter, and I know how flares work. We spoke via telephone with the source of the report, and he seemed to us to be an exceptionally serious-minded person. We suspect that he is an excellent witness. PD

Freeland, PA
At approximately 8:35 pm, I looked out of my bedroom window to check if the regularly occurring lights were visible. After not being seen for several days we were surprised to see two then three lights behaving as before....dimming then getting brighter then dimming. They did not last as long as last time...dimming out in under an hour. Again however there is a odd cloud band visible mainly over the area they are visible. We suspect that stars are the first possibility that would have to be ruled out, before concluding that the objects were UFOs. PD

Assumption, MI
My family and I were coming from Hillsdale, Michigan, heading to Toledo, Ohio. We were somewhere before Assumption. At first we thought these two objects were stars.These object stayed in the same position in the sky much of the time untill we saw one of them dissappear. We thought maybe they were far away helicopters. The second one came back into view. They traded places by moving in a counter clockwise circle. They got brighter and dimmer. When they were bright they looked almost like a lantern or a flare. They had no blinking lights. After the second one disappeared the other one became very bright like it caught on fire and stayed in the same position. We were driving 65 mph approximately, but we never seemed to be driving away from them, that was why at first we thought they were stars. The one that disappeared from view the first time became visible again. At first it was dim and then it was very bright like the other one. It then disappeared from view again. My husband, my daughter and I all were trying to continually view them through the forest. When we came to a place where the closer trees were cleared we could see in the distance a great lit up area that was emitting light from the ground like a stadium would but brighter. This area came from a huge area of forest. The light was so white it looked blueish, almost like a florescent light. As we got close to Toledo we stopped at a road construction stop light close to town, and we could tell that the object was moving slowly to the side, from the position it was over the tree tops. It did not get less bright as it moved, like it was moving farther away, it also did not get brighter. It moved very slow. I wanted to get a closer look, he did not. We began to quarrel over going to get a closer look or not. He drove into the outskirts of Toledo and during the time of the argument I lost sight of the object. When I looked back all I could find was what I thought was a star.

Tesuque, NM
I was camping alone and was admiring the bright stars on this very clear night. I was about 8-9K feet in elevation on the west side of the mountains. I had a good wide view of the night sky. As I looked towards the North, I noticed a light similar to a star moving at a NE direction, coming from the SW. There were no strobes or blinking lights on or around it. It was moving fast and began to slightly change direction towards the east. Then I lost view of this light. It was traveling faster than any high altitude plane or aircraft that I have ever seen. I am not sure what it was. No noise. No other lights or craft were in the sky at the time.

Oroville, CA
I was observing Mars through a narrow opening in the Oak tree canopy toward the western sky. I then saw a moving light through the Oak trees coming toward me to the left. The moving orange colored light then became obscured by the canopy. First I assumed it was just a light from an airplane. I moved further out from the house where less trees could obscure my view. The orange colored light then reappeared in the sky off toward my left view. The light was moving very slowly, and then it seemed like it was not moving at all except for a slight rocking movement. It also became slightly brighter. The brightness of the object than started to fade until I could not see it any longer.

Yukon, OK
At approximately 19:21 hrs on September 18, 2016, I was outside with two of my children, and my daughter (7yrs) said, "Is that a drone?" When I looked up I saw a round object moving extremely slow across the sky east of Yukon. It was shiny, either lighted or reflective, as the sun was shining from the west directly on said object. I assumed it was a balloon until I realized that the clouds were moving to the north and this was moving to the south. It continued moving south and slowly turned toward the east until it was out of sight. Almost as if it was surveilling the city. I have a video approximately 1min25sec long. I am a ((deleted)) supervisor in charge of ((deleted)) for the City of Oklahoma City.

Preston, MD
I witnessed a "star" like light moving across the sky faster than any airplane and thought I was witnessing a meteor at first and called my daughter outside to see it. It then changed direction as it passed by what I believe is the North Star (brightest star in the sky this night) It changed from a north direction to a north west direction. As we watched it more it changed direction again to the west, then back to the direction I originally saw it come from. It traveled as I said pretty fast, much faster than a plane, then as it headed back to where I originally saw it, it seemed to just vanish, like it went from very fast to light speed or something. The light looked exactly like a dim star as you would see in the sky on any given night. No flashing, just a white solid light. It was very high up possibly in space even, made no sound as it passed over.

September 17, 2016 7:00pm Single bright red light seen from Royal Lahaina Resort, Maui, Hawaii, initially moving up and down above outline of other hotels south of resort and then moving northward, high in sky, very fast with no sound, parallel to beach and out of sight.

Pittsburg/Antioch, CA
In the distance their are a row of normal red lights: but one light was yellow and slightly above the red rowed lights- After realizing the light hasn't moved I got my phone and started to record it-3 seconds into recording the light began to slowly move west. And disappeared. Shortly after a human aircraft from the west at a higher altitude was travelling east. It was a white light than it shut off and turned to strictly a red light.
