Algonquin, IL
My associate messaged me around 12:15 am, saying there was a UFO visible from his house so I came by around 12:25 at the latest and from then on saw the object which looked like the brightest star in the sky and was slowly making its way to the right, from our position it was moving south. It would hover and move randomly about within a small vicinity, up, down, left, righy, etc. But generally maintained the southern path. I headed home, got my brother and we followed it. It eventually around 4am settled just above the horizon west of Algonquin and dimmed as the night progressed until it dimmed out completely around 4 when dawn was beginning.

First thought it could be a meteor, but there was no tail. Way too fast for a plane or satellite. About the speed of a meteor, but no tail.

Ok, so it was around 1 or 10 in the morning when I got this intense feeling of being watched. Like someone was intensely watching me. So, i turned on a flashlight and went to the bathroom. After I went into the kitchen but I noticed the whole kitchen was making a weird noise. So I peaked out the window and saw a bright light in the sky. At first glance I thought it was a bright star but it was getting bigger. So I jumped back and the noise got louder and went over my apartment. I ran to the other side of the apartment and watched as it veered behind a big tree and near some housed before I lost sight, but it had blinking red and green lights on it. (All white light light with red and green lights)

My sister and I were travelling on I-95 South and could see a very solid, non-blinking, bright light straight ahead, it moved from the middle of our point of view to the right then left side of the highway. The sky was completely dark, aside from the stars. We lost sight in the tree line, until taking exit 5B where once on the off-ramp it became a "plane", flying so low that we could see both the underbelly of it and exactly how many lights were across it's "wings", it was also completely silent. The "plane" was way too low in this area to have been an actual airplane, considering any airport is more than fifteen to twenty miles away in either direction. Once it had crossed over the top of our car and back over the tree line, it was gone.

Looked like a star but it flew overhead very fast. No flashing lights it was very far away. We have corrected the date above. PD

At 3:30 hours, I went outside for a cigarette, while I was star gazing I noticed a bright light in the west northwest sky at about my one o'clock (I was facing west). It's intensity was a little bit brighter than that of Venus. It moved from the west northwest to the east southeast at a steady pace. I looked very carefully for strobing lights like an airplane would have even using my hand to block out street lights. There were not any strobe light that I could see. This is a quiet little town and as such I would normally have been able to hear the light rumble of jet engines, but there was none. Nor were there any visible contrails behind it although there was not a moon in the sky at the time. It reminded me of a satellite crossing the sky except the fact that satellites travel from south to north here (at least the ones I've ever seen here). I watched it till it was out of sight and then came in to make this report.

Shinnston, WV
We were driving around 22:20 across Shinnston Bridge. I asked my husband "what was that", and as I pointrd, it disappeared. I made him drive back to see if maybe something had blocked the view, but it was gone. I drive that road nightly, I have never seen anything like this. It was a block of three lights. Not quite in a triangle formation, but close. I was so bothered by this I stayed quiet most of the evening.

Cumming, GA
My wife and I were hosting an event at our home and just said goodnight to the last guest, my brother. A moment later, we heard knocking at the door. I knew it was my brother and assumed he forgot his phone or wallet and needed to get it before leaving. When I opened the door, my brother asked me to come out and see something strange. When I walked outside he pointed to two orange lights just above the tree line towards the Northeast. I immediately dismissed the lights as aircraft. He corrected me and said they were moving unlike normal aircraft. He described the objects having moved parallel to each other before rotating and changing direction. Again, I dismissed him as I only saw two orange lights. One was stationary and the other was moving similarly to an airplane. He asked me to note the orange nature of the objects and compare them to the light blue stars and the light blue lights of another obvious aircraft behind us. After the comparison, I did admit to the variation in light but simply dismissed the one moving object as an airplane. The other object I assumed was a planet due to its stationary position and orange glow. By this time, the moving object had disappeared behind the tree line while the stationary object remained in view. My brother attempted to explain the strange nature of the object's movements when, suddenly, the stationary orange dot began to move. This startled me. I watched with astonishment as the object moved along the sky and was temporarily obscured by the tree line before coming back into view. A moment later, the object faded away like an ember flickering and going out. I was honestly shocked and embarrassed by what I saw. I am not the type of person who likes attention or believes in intelligent extraterrestrial visitors. But I do believe in UFOs... In the purely defined way of something being unidentified. And what I saw could not be identified. These dots of light were orange, looked like bright stars and appeared to be distant. My brother and I discussed the possibility of drones but these objects appeared to be quite high. I don't know much about drones, but I don't think they go that high and I don't think they have orange lights that flicker off. It was strange.

I saw two orange lights in the sky. They were moving parallel to each other, southward, one slightly ahead of the other. They seemed to be high, at about the same height as a commercial aircraft's cruising altitude. And at about the same speed. But there was no sound. Then, the leading light slowed, and then the trailing light curved around slightly east, and took the lead, but then it halted. The other light disappeared behind the tree line, but the halted light stayed in position for well over 60 seconds, before turning around, heading west before its light slowly dimming to black. Very odd

Thunderstorms coming in, was watching sky when saw a bright light traveling west to east back and forth making quick 360 degree turns going back and forth over a 2 mile radius. The light would split off and quickly come back together.

Port St. Lucie, FL
I am an attorney in New York, New Jersey and Florida. I grew up in New York City, and have been a Prosecutor in New York and Florida. I am a retired Assistant State Attorney here in Florida. Based on my training and experience, I know evidence is important. Here we have 3 upstanding, credible citizens that saw unidentified flying objects (UFOs). On Sunday, May 29th, 2016, at approximately 9:04 pm., I was driving when both my wife and my sister-in-law shouted: “Wow! Look at that! What are those lights up there”. I looked up and saw about 15 -20 glowing objects in the night sky. I had just entered the Florida Turnpike, when all 3 of us saw these lights. I immediately pulled over to the shoulder and got out of the SUV to get a good clear unobstructed view of these flying objects. Most were orange in color, some were white, and at the very end was a red one. They were all over the place, and they were moving. I did not hear any sound coming from them. I tried to take photos from my mobile phone but my phone would not work. I had to turn it off & on twice, and then it worked, I was able to take a couple of photos. I saw them for about five minutes. What is even more surprising is that they all disappeared at about the same time. My sister-in –law’s photos came out black, except for the last one which was clear. However, my wife was able to take photos and a video. I honestly don’t know what they were, throughout my life I have seen many things, but in my life I have never seen anything even close to this ever before. I personally called 911 to report this. Definitely, UFOs to me! We spoke via telephone with this witness, and he sounded to us to be quite sober-minded. We suspect that he, and the other witnesses with him, are a highly reliable witness.

Port St. Lucie, FL
On Sunday, May 29, 2016, just after 9:00pm, I was in my car with my husband and sister. We just went through the northbound toll booth to enter the Florida Turnpike in Port St. Lucie, Florida, when I noticed about 15 to 20 lights in the eastern sky. I was shouting, “Look at that! Do you guys see all those lights? What are they?” So, my husband pulled over and he got out to take some pictures with his phone camera. My sister also got out to do the same, but I stayed in the car, opened the window, and took some pictures and then I changed it to video. There were other cars that pulled over to take photos, too. I took the first video until most of the lights had gone beyond the trees so I couldn’t see them anymore. Then, I saw 2 more so I took a second video of those. To my surprise, my first video of all of the UFO’s turned out to be just black. Nothing showed in that video, but my second video when there were only 2 of them visible did record correctly, and I also have three still photos which were taken in succession that shows about 7 or 8 of them as the rest were beyond the trees when we had pulled over. My husband’s phone was, for some reason, inoperable at first and then he was able to get 2 photos. My sister’s photos were all black, like my video, but she did manage to get 1 photo of the last 2 ufos. For the record, some of the lights were white, some orangey, and some red. It seemed like they were moving in formation but then some moved faster than others and then some disappeared. In the video that I took that was visible, one light was white and the last one was very bright red. When we first saw them before pulling over, it looked like a whole armada of ufos in the sky. I’ve never seen anything like it! By the time we pulled over and I took my first photo it was 9:05pm, and my last video was taken at 9:09pm. I am a business owner, and my husband is an attorney.

Madison, WI
I was shooting time lapse footage of a storm passing to the north-west of Madison, Wisconsin and caught something unusual coming out of the clouds. A bright, single white light swooped out of a thundercloud, stopped and hovered in one spot, completely unaffected by the wind or rain. It then seemed to put itself in reverse, backed up several hundred feet, and proceeded to drop straight down, apparently landing in the Pheasant Branch Creek Conservancy area. The video only lasts 2 seconds, which I believe would be 2 to 3 minutes in real time. We have watched the video several times, but see nothing that is suggestive to us of an alien space craft. PD

Western Australia (Great Southern)(Australia) · Australia
UFO SIGHTING IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA - May 2016 On Saturday night, 28 May, 2016, between approximately 10.00 - 10.30pm, I witnessed several objects in the night sky that I, and my three travelling companions, believed could be UFOs. All agreed they were not at all similar to a plane, helicopter, flare signal or pyrotechnical display, either in appearance or in the way they traversed the sky. We were driving south, in the Great Southern region of WA, between Narrikup (a small rural settlement) and the city of Albany. The form was a large, bright light in an apricot to mango shade of orange. In size, they were around half way between a star and a full Moon (when the latter is fully risen). I recall that there were three of these (definitely at least two), appearing separately, one after the other. Their trajectory was appearing ahead and to our right, originating from below our line of vision, then moved swiftly in a high arc, progressing to our left while lowering, then vanishing to below our line of vision. The rising point appeared to be closer to us than the vanishing point, i.e. the pathway, from our standpoint, was angled. As mentioned above, they appeared one after the other, with only a few seconds between each occurrence. The entire sighting would have been approximately 20 seconds.

About after a 1-2 minutes, the object just disappeared. Again about 4 minutes later, he spotted it again with our son and took a video. We have assigned an arbitrary time for the sighting. PD

A little South of IOA. Sky was all blue except for a very few clouds. Saw two fast moving white light colored objects moving very fast in oval path, and then back and forth at a easy very fast speed and around each other.

Oak Lawn, IL
I was outside out in front of the house in the morning smoking looking at the sky. On the left corner of my eye were no clouds are not in the sky I seen a white light blink once. I then was staring in the section of the sky and didn't see anything flying in the sky at all. Usually planes do come around time from time that have a constant blink white and red light. I am not seeing no plane at all for about 2 minutes. I'm still looking and in the same section all the sudden a red light blinked one time and still see no plane or both with still no clouds in that section of the sky. There was scattered clouds in other sections of the sky but nothing in the area that I seen this. I stared for a about a little bit longer but was maybe seeing a very dim lite star that was maybe in the area too. It was very breezey out and the weather felt pretty nice.

Glenview, IL
Eyewitness to separate objects within 10 minutes of each other. The first object was an extremely bright white light moving at moderate speed from Northwest to Southeast Direction across sky. The second object was a pulsing bright white light that moved very slowly from east to west. The light would post two extremely bright then dim to nothing then reappear slightly and repeated this process moving across the sky

I was riding my bike from Cumberland Farms and I took a left along a trail, following the light. I knew it was different because there was a plane near the sighting. I followed the light until it curved and hid behind the clouds. As far as I am concerned, I witnessed several planes in the sky at the same time, but they were all blinking. I was told that it must be the international space station, but I don't think so. I have been looking for proof in the skies since I was an adolescence. Now I have found it at 29 years old. I even cried, asking, "Why won't you take me away?" as a joke. I know what I saw.
