The description of what I saw was it had a solid red light and a blinking green light, to the left of the red light. I think it was one object but the blinking green light could have possibly been a second object. It hovered for about a minute and then quickly traveled in a straight line northwest, about 2,000 feet, and immediately, with no pause or anything, traveled in the same straight line back to its original position. (This all happened in about 2 seconds) (Also I saw the red light but I can't remember seeing the green light at this time.) (The red light remained level and did not teeter toter when it accelerated and decelerated.) It then hovered for about 5 seconds (showing both red and green lights) and then slowly traveled west behind a building until I couldn't see it anymore. The whole time, this thing made no noise. I can't remember how high it hovered but I know it was close enough that if it were a drone or something, it would have made a slight noise. Besides the red and green lights and also with the darkness of the night's sky, I couldn't make out a structure behind the lights. The weird this was how easily and effortlessly this thing moved... it was weird to me. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

The 4 objects came one at a time, they were red balls of light that moved behind trees, stopped, and disappeared, about a minute later, a helicopter came behind them, this lasted for about 2 minutes.

I was taking out the trash at work around 10pm on 7/3/16, when I looked up and saw an aquamarine colored light in the sky. I watched it hover for about 4 minutes, when I turned and yelled in the door to my coworkers to come and look at it, and when I turned around it was gone. Witness provides no contact information. PD

Cedar Rapids, IA
Bright amber pulsating light came into view from the south very fast then slowed down to almost a hover, it then turned to the northwest right over my house and went into some cumulus clouds and disappeared! No sound was heard and no normal navigation lights were observed!

Honolulu, HI
My wife and I were on the beach at the Disney Aulani resort. I was looking at the stars via Google star maps, when I saw a white light moving very fast from south to west, just below Jupiter. There was no tail or trail and after a few seconds it made a 90 degree turn at very high speed and then disappeared.

Lafayette, CA
At about 22:28 I witnessed a bright white light moving slowly about the same speed as the ISS crosses the sky, no flashing strobes to indicate an aircraft. the object was high in the sky but just east of my location in Lafayette, CA., it moved generally north to south for about two minutes and as it did it slowly dimmed to unobservable. I immediately checked the NASA "sightings" website for the ISS for my area but the next possible sighting for the ISS is on 7/6/16, meaning this was not the ISS that I witnessed. of course it was very dark, no moon, and there were no clouds or trees to obscure the visibility. At its brightest I would say it was twice as bright as the apparent brightness of the brightest star in the sky at that time.

East Windsor, CT
Yellowish bright light, appeared to be several hundred feet in the air, slightly bobbing in the sky. Very slight movements. No sound. Very irregular. Maintained position for at least 30 min, possibly longer. Assuming a nighttime sighting, we have amended the time above. PD

Lights Over Phoenix, AZ July 2nd, 2016 9:03 PM I was sitting on my patio in south Scottsdale near Oldtown, when I heard a loud bang. As I looked up towards the North West I noticed the 3 objects falling in unison. I first thought that maybe 2 aircrafts had collided in the sky and these objects were falling debris on fire. I started to record a video and as doing so the trailing lighted objects proceeded to move along different flight patterns, even turning and changing direction. The altitude was way too high to be fireworks and the patterns of the lights made me think about potential rockets or missiles. However, rockets and missiles move at a much larger rate of speed. I’m a veteran of the U.S. Army that worked in avionics and with the knowledge I have over the Hellfire missile there’s little that relates for it to be classified as such. There is a lot I still do not know on the subject though. Nothing as far as I can tell makes any sense. I’m an avid reader of science-fiction and do believe in the possibility of many lifeforms in the universe, even intelligent life. This is the only experience I’ve had first hand. Towards the end of my recording my roommate happens to come out and witness the lights and their maneuvers through the sky as well. I would describe the lights to have a yellowish tint and large sparking trails following them. Around the 40 second mark you’ll see the bottom light start to change directions more rapidly than the rest of the video with clear visibility of the trail of light behind it. Then around the 1:01 mark all 3 lights come back and form a triangular shape in the sky. Excuse my language in the commentary at this point too. Like I have stated this is my first experience with something I believe to be supernatural and I’m not sure if all the information you need is provided. If there are any questions or need any follow up I’m more than happy to help. I immediately uploaded my video to social media, but for ease of access here is the link to the video I’ve now posted to Youtube. https://youtu.be/wVpXssN0VK0 Thank you for your time.

Kawaihae, HI
My wife and I were driving North from Kona towards Waimea. We were at close to Waikaloa when we saw the light. A bright green light, like a giant traffic light, lit up for 2 seconds, and illuminated the mountain for probably five miles. It then happened again 20 seconds later, but not again after that. We were sober. I am in construction and am very familiar with commercial and industrial tools and equipment, and I cant imagine anything making that much light, that color, besides an electrical transformer exploding. But the was not an explosion. There were no signs of smoke, air craft, trails, just the light flashes. We were probably 40-50 miles from the mountain range on a night with good visibility. Every car on the road in front of us must have seen it too. It is also worth mentioning that the area on top of the mountain, doesn't have any military activity and is mostly pasture land, with no industry, that I know of.

Boise, ID
Second started in the same spot but seemed to close distance between itself and the first light very quickly. I ran inside to get my girlfriendand her brother, and when I came back outside, there was a third light all moving the same direction about the same distance apart. They then formed a triangle shape, and in sequence from first to third, spiraled to the north west and faded away. This all took approximately 5 minutes

July 1st fireworks started and a red light caught my 5 year old's eye. I told him it was a red star. I kept watching the fireworks but I would glance back at the so called star wondering why it was so red. After nearly 5 minutes the red light began to move erratically. There was a large crowd for the fireworks show and I asked the closest people to us if they could see the object. They could not be live they're eyes. The astonishment of this moving object spread to others and instead of watching the show, most were focused on the object. I would say it had intense elevation changes, did not flash, could stop in air for long lengths of time and was very fast. Lasted approximately 15 minutes.

Against a bright blue sky, there was a bright white light that was moving. As it moved, it became smaller very quickly until it disappeared against the sky. It was moving away from Earth, not parallel like a plane. Within seconds, the light was gone.

Schererville, IN
It is dark and you can see clouds intermittent in the sky. Beam of light with a slight green tint floated across the sky. Sometimes a quick short beam of light and sometimes it would travel further. Then a second beam appeared and they sometimes crossed. As if someone had a huge flash light shining it across the sky.

Indianapolis, IN
One circular white object was spotted in the western sky and while observing it, another object of the same description flew very rapidly from SE to NW past it. The stationary object remained till obscured by low hanging clouds. Video was taken of the event and posted to local news media WTHR Ch. 13. http://www.wthr.com/story/32338121/video-mysterious-objects-in-the-sky-over-indianapolis Within an hour of breaking the story, the video vanished from the internet. Multiple people from Marion County and south of the city posted to social media about seeing the same thing. A still photo from the video can be seen at the link provided.

Phoenix, AZ
Please review the show of "American Monster " S1 / E5 "Shooting Phoenix" This show has absolutely nothing to do with UFO sightings, but around 40 to 45 minutes in the hour long show there is a scene that is suppose to be a night view of the skyline somewhere over Phoenix, Arizona. I noticed as I was watching the show an unexplained occurrence with a fast traveling light coming from the left right above the city lights at an extremely fast speed compared to the traffic on the highway below it traveled quickly towards the right of the tv screen then came to an abrupt stop and dropped to the road level slowly did a complete 360 and traveled back towards the left at a southwest angle. I and several others have watched this footage over and over the only explanation we can figure out is that it could truly be a sighting! Granted I know that only the producers and editors of this show know when and where this footage they used was really captur! ed on tape and was used at this particular time on the making of Season One / Episode Five of "American Monster. Please give this a moment of your time and check it out it might be worth investigating further either way I would love to hear your opinion on this. Thank-you.

3 Orange lights coming slowly from the east. When they got approximately over Arlington or Oso, they stopped, and then slowly faded out. This is the second time I have seen bright orange lights here near Arlington. Always no sound, always orange.

Grand Rapids, MI
Completely clear night sky, Red flashing light seen in the east. object caught my attention because of the extremely high speed movement. object rapidly approached my position, stopped 'on a dime' so to speak, and headed north at at the same extraordinary speed. Object stopped again, headed southeast, stopped again, headed west, stopped, and then south out of my view. when object was stopped, it remained in place for around 30 seconds. although the object was red and very bright in the sky, my iPhone 6 was unable to photograph or record video of the incident. no sound was noticed. difficult to estimate the distance from my position.

The light would go from non-existent to bright and then non-existent again in the course of a second to a second and a half. This occurred approximately 15 to 20 times over the course of about 10 minutes
