Ripon, CA
Was driving northbound on highway 99 and saw a large dome of green light fill up the western part of the sky. Lasted approximately 10 seconds. No noise was heard though I was in a car, so I can't confirm whether or not it was silent. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

DeKalb, IL
A friend and I were driving down Annie Glidden in DeKalb, when we saw a colorful beam of light flash in the sky. Immediately we wondered if it was a shooting star, but it shot downwards in the sky, not up. Neither of us could come up with a logical explanation. It was a strange thing.

Granton, WI
I went outside to call my cat in at 7:30 and looked up at the clear, starry sky and, saw what looked like many airplanes all at once. Each flashed like a strobe light,some moved at a steady pace, and others hovered moving slowly and stopping. All were in close proximity in the sky, could be viewed from one side of the yard, not the other. I checked on and off over the course of an hour or so,and they remained visible. I got my daughter ready for bed, went to peak out the door again,and by 8:50pm they were gone. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Homeland, FL
On this particular night there was low laying fog in patches everywhere. As I was looking at the tower lights I saw a blue to white light streak across the sky horizontaly north to south. I'm not sure if I saw it right when it lit up or just that it caught my eye but right when I saw the UFO the light immediately went out after traveling from peripheral to peripheral. It did not leave a steak in the sky is was able to see a focused light with no tail. It was impossible to access altitude or distance. I've seen meteors that were slow fireballs; meteors that were white and streaky, and meteors that lit up the sky and meteor showers. This was not that. I always look up when I can and this is a new one too me. No noise. No moon. Very clear skies. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Parlin, NJ
At about 6:30 PM, I was sitting outside, looking up 45 degrees from the horizon to the south, and saw what looked like the planet, Venus, because of its brightness, and was stationary. As I was looking at it after about 10 seconds it started fading out to a brightness of a dim star. Eventually I couldn’t see it anymore. I don’t think it was a plane because it stayed in the same spot. I’d like to know what that was. Do you know of any idea what that could have been?

Corona, CA
Big green flash over main street area that made no noise. After the flash the sprinkling rain turned into a pour. Stayed for several minutes after trying to get footage, but there was only the one initial flash during that time.

Lincoln/Omaha (between), NE
Driving N-N/E on interstate I-80, nearing Omaha, coming from Lincoln about 3:45 pm. I witnessed a glimmer in the sky off to the right of the interstate to the east travel northbound leaving a trail, then after 10-12 seconds made an immediate right angle turn due east and disappeared after 3-4 seconds behind a cloud. Resembled a bright shooting star but in broad daylight and made a 90 degree angle turn immediately. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Hendersonville, NC
Saw a shooting star with a burst of light at the end. A few seconds later I saw lights in a formation---thought it was a plane, but it stayed still, then moved to my left, then back to the right, then stayed still, then disappeared. It seemed to be V shaped.

Indianapolis, IN
A big, blue flash of light lit up the sky and neighborhood on East side. It only lasted a few seconds. No craft seen, as we were in the garage. There was no sound at all. We have lived with in the landing path of the airport for five years, and have never seen anything like this.

Forest lake, MN
Sitting in bed, I heard a loud boom which was followed by an incredibly bright light. About 3 minutes later, an even louder boom and an even brighter light just a short distance from the first one.

Rio Rancho, NM
Two flashes along a straight line in the sky in Bernalillo - they looked like they were on a track together so couldn't have been stars... then one flash about 20 seconds later at a right angle from the other two - very weird. There was no sound associated with them. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Sacramento, CA
Around 8:00 PM, I was sitting in my backyard on my swinging couch having a cigarette and looking in the at the stars in the sky in the east direction. I noticed a large ball of light with a long trail moving laterally in the south direction at high speed. Then all of a sudden everything disappeared within a few seconds. I heard people on the radio early this morning here in the California central valley describe on-air exactly what I had seen.

Zeeland, MI
A sudden bright light rayed through my window. My brother and I both noticed it. It was slightly larger than the moon, but glowed more violently. Very slowly, it moved across the sky for a brief four seconds, then zoomed to the right very quickly. I was expecting it to appear after ducking behind the trees in my backyard, but didn't. It was like it suddenly vanished! I'm now hearing some rather strange sounds, like a vibration of a nearby train. I checked but didn't hear any train horns or rumbling tracks. A slight hum can be heard, too.. I hope this is helpful.

Aiken, SC
Looked like a star but it was smaller and moving like it was rising above other stars in the distance. Then below it around the other stars I saw flashes of like. Sort of blurry flashes of that makes sense. Lasted for a while during 6:30 am. It was still dark here at that time. Tried to get my iPhone to take pic and video, but all all I saw was the gate I was behind and darkness.

I went to work this morning and I noticed my co worker speaking about it and then my boss agreed to seeing those lights as well that night. Not sure if anyone else noticed?
