Freedom, NH

Witnessed what at first appeared to be a satellite moving across the sky but it was brighter than a satellite and had a very slight light halo around it. The light moved along a trajectory of roughly west to east and most notable was that it appeared to continuously slow almost to a stop, then thrust forward a short distance. It did not appear to change direction. ISS. PD

Kenmore, WA

I saw a small white moving light that was the size of a star for about 10 seconds, at the end it was beginning to shrink but still shining brightly, before going past a building I was near. When I got past the building, it was gone. My phone wouldnt have been able to get a good picture. ISS @ 22:25 hrs..

Clinton, MI

I am a new mother and skeptic of ufos, but what I witnessed last night has made me a believer! As usual, I was outside smoking a cigarette after getting my baby to bed. I live in the country, so the night sky is pretty visible due to lack of city lights. My husband and I witnessed 3 unknown crafts over a 3 hour period. Two of which blinked red and white, while the other was a bright orange(also flew much closer then the other two). The first object was spotted just above the horizon in the distance. It appeared as an airplane with a red light, approaching quickly at first, then slowly began to rise into the sky while blinking red and white. The red light appeared to be moving in circular motion around the craft as it hovered. At around 4 am (an hour later), a second craft approached. This craft appeared to have a long cigar like shape with orange illuminating light. It appeared just south of us right above the neighboring tree line, flew low and quickly eastward, then disappeared low in the tree line miles away. When this craft flew near us, we could hear dogs from 3 different houses begin to bark wildly. Finally a third light appeared, flashing red and white like the first craft, following the same flight pattern as the first. Both lights were still visible hovering in the sky at 6 am when the sun began to rise. These crafts made no noise and gave me a very uneasy feeling. I was unable to take my eyes off the hypnotic lights. I lost sleep thinking about what I had just witnessed, and feared that I could no longer deny ufos exist. These objects were certainly not airplanes, Chinese lanterns, nor were they any sort of drone.

Shelby, MI

Then he pointed it out to me. It was to the west, like over lake michigan, which was about 15 mins away. It looked like a star but would change to a lite blue, to red, to star white. It would move from left to right then down then up and back left, and then go though it's colors again. I couldn't belive it and ran inside and woke my whole family up. My dad was amazed, my mom and sisters didn't know what to think, my daughters were amazed, and it freaked the heck out of my 13 yr old son. We can't have been the only ones to see this. It was incredible!

Ludlow, MA

Me and my wife were driving down East street Ludlow, Ma. There was just this EXTREMELY bright circular object in the sky, it was almost as if it was glistening. My wife said she felt as if it was two put together in one, like one behind the other, not saucer nothing like that, just these circular balls of light. The object was extremely bright during the dusk in Ludlow, MA around 8:15 pm. It was so bright I could barely pay attention to the road. It was not blinding me from driving, I just have never seen anything that bright in the sky before. We turned onto the bridge in Ludlow Ave and just like that it was gone. There were two helicopters in the air, I just felt odd because I knew they were looking at the same thing we were looking at. They looked like army helicopters, the ones with the double propellers. It was just so bright… My wife is usually a skeptic, but years ago I had a sighting at a lake out in the Indian Orchard area of a friend’s house, right in the vicinity of that area. I thought I would never have seen another anomaly in the sky again. The last sighting made me feel as if I was crazy, I just couldn’t understand the reality of what I had seen, not literal crazy. It was a clear blue sky, grey looking flat thing,with some kind of fog or haze appearing right before my eyes, not even like a saucer. It lasted for about 3 seconds maybe? I only say this because what I seen tonight, had made this my second sighting? Or so I like to believe. It just helped me to revalidate the questioning of my own sense of reality. I saw something very BRIGHT. I work at a fitness gym, I also run a few of my own businesses along with my wife. We are both extremely competent, and for her to be astonished, I knew she finally believed that there are just some things, clearly unexplainable.

Toney, AL

I was outside smoking a cigarette and noticed a blue hue light going threw a cloud and asked the persons next to me if they saw it and they could. then we noticed 7 more objects just like it it was a blue hue light but was white at the source and a faint reddish light pulsing of the top of it. When we started looking around we realized that most of these objects were going threw the clouds and if they were close to the clouds you could see the light faintly projecting on the clouds. I started to count them and would get to about 20 and lose count because they were moving around so fast these objects could be going in a forward trajectory and change trajectory in the opposite direction without hesitation basically these things could move in any direction it so chooses to go in without hesitation and with speed that is hard to phathom. Then we noticed there were big white light objects still out side the atmosphere, which were big bright white lighted objects! We could tell these were still outside the atmosphere because the smaller blue lighted objects were shooting a concentrated beam of light towards the bigger objects and you could see how far it was having to travel before it made contact with these objects. The bigger objects started a umbrella like formation that ran north to south, east to west, northeast to southwest and northwest to southeast as far as I could see horizon to horizon my view of all these was not a wide open view either it was pretty limited due to trees. And once these bigger objects slowly made it into formation they and stopped moving the lights slowly faded untill they were not visible again. But the blue objects were still moving around as if they were a patrol unit. After watching all this take place over a 2 1/2 hr period at about 0230 all objects quit moving and all lights faded untill no longer visible.

Goose Creek, SC

Naval Weapons Station Facing the South, toward Charleston, directly below Mars, a bright, white light appeared in the night sky around 2115. Initially, I thought it was an aircraft landing light, since it had the brightness of an aircraft landing light. Then it got much brighter and was a bluish, white, and appeared as though it was passing thru a light cloud layer, since there were scattered light clouds in the area. After only a few seconds it went completely dark. I initially assumed it was an aircraft, since it was so close to Charleston AFB. I kept looking for the navigation and anti collision lights but there were none. I then got up to stand and view more of the sky, but never heard an aircraft engine, and never saw any other lights in the sky in that area, other than additional stars.

Amite, LA

It started off as an ordinary bright star and all of a sudden, the light grew bigger and brighter and then shot across the sky to disappear. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Carver, MA

Planes flew by and were clearly planes and moved much faster, so I know this sighting was not a plane. I have seen it once before same exact thing without getting brighter and dimmer though. I also witnessed a fast white streak hurdling diagonal to Earth in my eastern sky, toward Cape Cod on the night before, which was 08/01/2016 around the same time 11pm.

Austin, TX

On Aug 2, @ 11pm, myself and 7kids were about 100ft from our apartment, when we saw a huge glowing light coming at us from NE, then it broke apart and became 2 a smaller one and larger one that both start blinking red yellow and green over and over while hovering over either homes or trees in that area.as we entered our home the bigger one disappeared..

This might have been two satellites, but we have never seen one following the other that close. Unfortunately my wife and I did not take pictures. We did not have a camera with.

Champaign, IL

At 9:35 PM, I was sitting outside on my patio, looking at an unusually clear sky in Champaign County. Out of the corner of my eye, a white light drew my attention. I looked to the NW sky and saw what I thought to be a satellite or space station. However, upon a closer look, I saw two lights moving at the same speed, one seemingly following the other. I watched them move across the sky toward the south-west. They were moving at a speed similar to the space station I saw overhead last month. But there were two of them. Both lights disappeared behind what must have been a cloud high in the sky. However, keeping my eyes focused in that direction, I witnessed a single light, moving at what looked to be the same speed, only this time it was moving in the exact opposite direction, as though it was retracing its steps. I have never seen anything quite like this, and I am at a loss for a logical explanation.

Phoenix, AZ

I live on the second floor of a two story apartment building; my balcony faces south. I was standing on my balcony looking toward South Mountain and was watching the red lights flashing on top of the mountain. My attention was drawn to what looked like three white lights located at a higher altitude and to the west. The lights seemed to be pulsating and were slowly moving from west to east. I watched these lights for 3-4 minutes when all of a sudden they took off to the west and disappeared.

Portland, OR

Sitting on my porch with my significant other and saw a light appear from the sky and come down stay for a second and then go back up to where we could not see it anymore it got smaller and smaller as it went up straight up it was a bright color blue almost like a satellite except for it came straight down and went straight back up.

Ashville, AL

While traveling southbound on I-59 near Ashville, Alabama, an odd light, which strobed at random, intermittent, intervals, was identified. It moved through the sky at a varied pace, much like a helicopter could do, however the light was slowly brightened and dimmed unlike a conventional aircraft, which flashes or blinks at timed intervals. Elevation seemed to high to be a drone and the light was too bright.

Alexandria (W. Dunbartonshire)(UK/Scotland) · United Kingdom

There was no trail left and no haze around the object, no colour changes or sound. I am very sceptical about these things, but this was absolutely unexplainable and had to find somewhere to contact someone about this.

Milwaukie, OR

Two of us witnessed three bright, yellow lights perfectly aligned diagonally of each other leftward (east). After approximately 2 minutes of observing these lights, the upper and eastern-most light started moving away from the others at a very quick pace and changed color to blue. It visibly would stop and go, hovering and then darting quickly until it reached a tree line and we lost sight. As soon as the first light reached tree cover, the second light broke formation and followed the same path as the first eastward, also changing to blue and dimming. At this point we tried to follow the two traveling lights, as they were speeding towards the area of our home. The third light remained, extremely bright and yellow. As we approached the field behind our home, neither of the two lights could be seen. The last two nights we have not seen either of these three above the athletic field again. There were no sounds, and no airports exist in the direction of these lights.
