Another person and I stood outside and saw a pink dot star light stationary for a moment, later move slightly at times. It would fade downward and move up slightly. After it went into the tree line it moved up at a 45-degree angle and got brighter and landed in the tree line and under, hovered between the trees and glowed slightly brighter before it disappeared in the trees from afar where the object was sighted. The object resembled that of a glowing star that would have a brighter glow depending on where you stood. Before disappearing into the far trees it got brighter and more whitish as if it were landing. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

It looked like a star but it was cruising along at the same altitude and speed as a helicopter. It made no noise and had no flashing lights on it like a helicopter or airplane would have. I watched it fly overhead coming the west heading east over a 5 minute time period.

While driving, we stopped to see constellation. As watched toward North, there were two bright stars shining in lower sky and we were wondering what stars they are. one of us who had a tracking stars app on his cellphone tried to focus on them to find out what they are. It was around one minutes struggling to focus by cellphone, and suddenly they disappeared. I searched on internet and found the shape similar to what we saw.

I noticed an unusually bright light in the sky directly in my view outside my bedroom window. It was over Sandy Run/White Haven area. I noticed another dimmer light appearing over horizon. I called my son to see this and we stayed and watched over 5 different lights appear and proceed to take on a triangle formation, a half circle, and even a straight line going up to a huge cloud. The cloud was unusual too. It seemed to stay in one spot for over two hours. Also, the cloud seemed to glow slightly from within. The area of the sky where the lights were appearing seemed to glow from underneath. These lights would take cover in the big cloud when airplanes were approaching the area. It was creepy just watching these lights get extremely bright then dim then get bright then dim. I tried to take a picture with my cell phone but it was too dark not enough light. I posted on Facebook asking if anyone else in Freeland was seeing these lights besides us and apparently someone else seen them as well.

We did not see this with our own eyes - the images showed up on my camera that I use to track deer. I have a set of pictures that will show you that whatever it is is present between about 7:00-8:00. Obviously it did not make noise, due to the fact that the deer were not scared away by it. Unfortunately this is all the information we have right now, but hopefully you can give me some insight on if this is actually a UFO or something else. Possibly a flying insect?? PD

I’m not sure if this is the place to report this but it has me worried and I’m not sure exactly what I did see. I awoke at 3 AM and went to use the bathroom. For some reason I looked out the window, I was on the second floor, and started noticing strange lights on my neighbors’ property. At first I thought it was a vehicle shining lights on the trees or the barn, but longer I looked the more I realized it wasn’t a vehicle. I could never really see the source of the lights as there is a tree line between our properties, but they were in multiple places in their pasture and beyond to the woods behind their property. I could catch a glimpse of some sort of white light moving about. They must have been staying close to the ground because they kept up- lighting the trees. The lights turned on and off, sometimes fading out, sometimes shutting off like someone threw a switch. They moved around, they made no sound. One thing I did notice was right above that area was some small lightning bolts every now and then. There was no thunder. When I looked up all I saw were stars. We did have storms come through although not until after sunrise. I watched the lights for more than 3 hours. I was moving from window to window trying to figure it out. I woke my husband up to look at them. He did see them and went back to bed. I was too worried to go back to sleep and too afraid to wander onto their property alone to try to get a better look. I went up to check with the neighbors (after sunrise) and they heard and saw nothing. They were in bed. After I thought about it, I believe I saw those lights once before. I wrote it off as the neighbor being out on his tractor late at night. I guess it wasn’t so. If anyone knows what this might be or could tell me what kind of camera I could use to try to capture this if it happens again, I would greatly appreciate it.

Topeka, KS
At around 11:30pm myself and a friend were hanging out in the parking lot at 10th and Gage in Topeka KS. We had been drinking coffee in the coffeehouse in that shopping center, and after the coffeehouse closed we adjourned to a picnic table that we sit and chat at often. Something caught my eye. It was due East of our location. It was an orange or amber light moving from south to north. If i held my fists out with my arms straight, it was about two fists, maybe two and a half fists above the horizon. And the distance seemed to be perhaps over downtown Topeka, or maybe between downtown and the hospitals to the west of downtown. From this I would guess the altitude of the light to be maybe 1,000 feet. If i stand facing east, the light moved to my 10:30 or 11:00 position. As it traveled it turned from orange to white to red and then disappeared. I could see no other lights. If it was some aircraft then it only had this one light on it. I could not hear any sound such as motors as if it were a helicopter. Helicopters landing at the hospitals are very audible and there is no mistaking them and their various lights. This was not a helicopter. My friend saw the same thing, once I pointed it out to him. He went and got binoculars out of his car as the first light went out of sight. And then another one, exactly like the first appeared in the same place that the first one had showed up, only maybe a bit further to the south, in the 1:00 position if you stand facing due east. This light behaved exactly like the first, moving north and then turning red and disappearing.

On September 10th, 2016, at 9:38pm PST. Facing exactly north, I was peering upwards at about a 50°, just at my field of view, vertically up in the sky a slow moving luminous ball of light three times the visual mass of any speck in the sky began descending down words at a rate that I, thought too slow to be a satellite and much too vivid as well to be far away. If you were to hold out your hand in front of you and extend your index finger and your thumb, then just half a pinkys worth, you would get the distance the object move from my perspective in the sky in the time frame of 10 seconds during the last five seconds of that 10 seconds is when I was hurriedly reaching for my camera phone which was right next to me to then attempt to capture to no avail, for it was too dark. When I finally did bring the camera to face in front of me to attempt to video this the luminosity on this ball object began to dim and it wasn't flickering it wasn't shorting it was manually being controlled it seemed and this craft in question while maintaining the slow rate of speed began to level out. While it was dimming which took another five seconds, you could just make out some shape at least and the craft moved along dimmed and was gone. Essentially it seemed as if there was a telepathic connection with my knowing and witnessing the object and said object concealing itself. I apologize for the late response.

While looking up at the dusky night sky, I noticed a light that was moving very slowly from east to west that was going much slower than a satellite or airplane. I watched it for about one minute before it started moving erratically at a slow, often jerking motion. It was moving like a fish or a snake at times, and at others it was hardly moving. It could make abrupt 180 degree turns and other maneuvers not possible with today’s modern aircraft. With some binoculars, it looked like a single bluish white light with the intensity of a bright star. Broken high altitude clouds were moving thru the area and its light would be obstructed as it flew thru or above the clouds. It appeared to be at or just above the clouds as its light would dimly reflect off the clouds. I first saw the light around 9:20 p.m. Alaska Standard Time. There were 3 other witnesses when I first saw the light. I was near Mile 109 of the Seward Highway when I first watched the light move around the sky for about 20 minutes. I drove home and arrived around 9:50 p.m. At this time I had 4 other witnesses see the light moving around in the sky as the night grew darker. The light hung out in roughly the same part of the sky near the Constellations Cygnus and Lyra. A witness and I laid down in our front yard and watched the light move around for another 50 minutes before we went inside to write this report. By this time the sky was mostly clear and dark and stars were visible. 20 minutes later, the light was still visible continuing the same motions as before. A second light was seen shortly after I arrived home but we did not maintain visual of that object for more than a minute while we focused mainly on the original light.

Friend noticed something odd in the night sky at around 1:50am east of our position. It appeared to be right over Vail, AZ, or our suburb of Rita Ranch. It was rather odd, when we noticed these three lights, that could form a triangle. The three lights began to move our direction without breaking formation, and then halted in one spot. It did not move from the position, but instead seemed to blink their lights and stare at us. I can only assume that they knew of us and watched with caution. The interesting thing about these lights were that they seem to be blinking in a pattern of sorts, and the left light happened to be the color green, but the other two lights were typical bright star-like lights (although far brighter and clearly closer). There is no full moon out, nor was it a new moon; the moon was not in my view when looking east toward these lights. The strangest thing was the coyotes were noisy, far nosier than usual. Typically you may hear a few coyo! tes yipper and howl, but only once in a blue moon (pun intended); this time every coyote was at it. I thought it may be a party down the wash since it was Fri/Sat, but it was rather late. Anyways, my friend an I viewed this mystery for a few moments and normally I'm able to point out whether or not it was a plane or helicopter, of course three lights flashing in a strange pattern is a little odd. The left green light was curious as you never really hear about colored lights unless it pairs with other colors (notably red, because then its a human craft). The lack of sound didn't help, nor the stationary position it developed. I wasn't going to wait around any much longer and told my friend to step outside and make sure I enter my house safely (I live across the street in the direction of the mystery), yeah, I was spooked and it was still there when I had entered. I want to point out however that Davis Monthan Air Force Base was to our north and northwest, but what we viewed was directly to the east. I failed to record the event, at 2am with only the two of us, like hell I'm staying around. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. PD

A white light in the clouds I thought was the moon or an airplane, but was too close to be a moon. It moved back and forth leaving a short trail through the sky before disappearing.

every early morning, I take my dog outside to start the day. on clear days, I enjoy searching the heavens for a glimpse of a shooting star. I was observing the early morning star formations in the eastern sky as I do every morning between 5:45 - 6:45. The sky was very clear with no clouds or aircraft visible. As I looked up at about 15 degrees, I observed a single star which appeared to be of great distance due to it's brightness. Then I observed first one light to the right of the star that suddenly appeared and was pulsating at a slow interval. It was not like a strobe light of an aircraft. Then 180 degrees to the left of it, another light starting pulsating. both lights then began to pulsate faster until the flashing became a constant light with no intervals. They then began to rotate opposite of each other in a 360 degree rotation, first slowly, then faster and faster until the lights appeared as a single ring. Then suddenly there was complete darkness. ! I just stared at the spot where I witnessed these lights for some minutes later, somewhat dumbfounded at what I had just observed. I am an Quality Engineering Manager for a microwave communication components manufacturer. I have worked in the aerospace industry for almost 40 yrs. I know aircraft and I know satellites and these lights were not from either types of equipment. I have never seen anything like what I have witnessed this morning. It appeared to be definitely outside our atmosphere, mush higher than satellites I have seen from the sun's light reflecting on their sides as they streak across the sky in their obit. What I have witnessed this morning was certainly not man made and it has been a really shocking event for me. After all these years, I was still not convinced there was any real legitimate UFO sightings until this morning. It's totally a game changer !

While driving on our street my husband and I saw a light which looked like a meteor which was falling straight down. The light stopped half way down for a second, then shot back up in the sky very fast. I thought my eyes were playing tricks until my husband said "what was that?", and described the same thing I saw.

Driving west on interstate 70 looking up at how beautiful the moon and Venus were together I noticed a line of lights similar to stars but they were in a perfectly straight line. They moved together at a slight angle from the line they were in and within 10 seconds they had all disappeared one at a time. Whole event lasted around a minute. . I tried to take a picture but by the time I got pulled over and got my camera on I didn’tHave time to record anything. I am still rattled. Wow

3 orange lights forming a triangle 10 degrees south and 30 degrees in elevation. They formed 7 minutes before twilight. and moved with the stars to the west till below the horizon. These lights have formed the last 30 days at the same place and did the same movement. They were formed always in the same place in the horizon so as the days changed the are near different stars . between the Orange lights the light from the stars are blocked as they move across the sky .

I am a law enforcement officer and was leaving for work today, heading East on the 210 Fwy toward San Bernardino. I noticed a bright orange light appear in the distance. I estimated it to be at least 10 miles away and about 20-30 degrees from the horizon. The light was stationary for a short time. I watched the light thinking it was an aircraft turning on his landing lights. Then at that moment it began to move in irregular directions at extremely fast speed. I new at that time it was not a conventional aircraft or any type of drone because of the height, distance, and speed. It was something I've never seen before. The orange light returned to its original position and dimmed out. I pulled my phone out to record the event if it happened again and unfortunately it never appeared again. I was very excited to see such an event as this. There were many cars on the freeway at the time and must have had numerous witnesses.

It all statted the first night with the kinda crappy videos i got Of what appeared to be a rotating light so much so that it was a perfect circle. Luming from orange to red. It was very far off but still big enough to tell it was rather large. It hung in the sky for almost an hour before dissapearing off intonthe sky. The second night 9/6/16 Walking outside at work at 10pm to do trash with a manager looking up to see the same circular light hanging in the sky in the same area but definitely a lot higher up, we looked at it for awhile and went to the dumpster, while waking back we could see it on the other side of the sky hanging there miles from where it was. It had to have moved in the blink of your eye to have been able to get from where it was. Once we rounded the corner of our building we noticed a larger solid red light moving in the direction of the circular light. And then a c130 flew right over top of our building kinda gliding to the right of where ! the lights were. It struck me as weird to see the c130 fly over ive never seen them take that path before. After watching the lights get closer and kinda dissapearing further up i had gone back into work. Witness provides no contact information. PD
