Wheatfields, AZ
First seen one craft, zigzagging across the sky..at the blink of an eye it would change direction. Then seen two aircraft, looked like military. Zoned in on it chasing after it. An hour later, seen a v shaped craft hovering low, like it was looking for something. Lights on the first craft revolved from red to white..government crafts were the usual flashing red lights. Every night since, there has been a craft in the sky, not a star or a planet, with revolving lights.....hovering over, then disappearing at will. Ya, freaked out. Never believed until I seen it with my own eyes.. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Two white, very bright lights in the sky, were not moving at all. White color, when took a picture they didn't move. In pic, they had a triangular shape, but in person they looked more like circular objects (orbs).one was bigger than the other (the bottom one). objects were apart (can't tell how much) one above the other. As we were driving, they didn't change their placement. The place I'm living in is highly light polluted and the objects were very large (as if they were extremely close to earth).

Approximately 16:45, Driving on I-70 south bound with my 10 yr old son, clear blue sky, we noticed a round spot in the sky, looked like a star however it must have been far brighter because it was so clearly seen in the day time. After approximately 5 seconds it disappeared. We see jets in the sky on a daily basis so we were trying to figure out how this spot could have been a jet when we saw a crown shaped object, 5-10x larger than the spot, once again as bright, sitting motionless in the sky approximately where the spot had been previously. It remained there for some time as my son and I talked and tried to figure out what it could possibly be. Then it shrunk down to a spot, like the one we had seen originally, and then disappeared. We couldn't figure what would be so bright and sit stationary in the sky like that when suddenly it appeared again. Again we watched and racked our brains to try and figure out what it could possibly be when again it shrunk to the spot for a few seconds and then disappeared. When the bright crown shape appeared the third time in approximately the same place in the sky I let off the gas and almost coasted to a stop, staring and not believing what I was seeing however my son was seeing the same thing. We continued to drive in the same direction for approximately 10 more minutes before exiting the freeway, we didn't see the bright object appear again. When we got to our destination and got out of the car we could see a couple of jets and the trails they leave in the sky and the trails were not nearly as bright and yellow as the object we had seen as we were driving. I feel there must be some logical explanation for what we saw but I can't figure what would sit so stationary in the sky, disappear and then return.

Joseph, OR
Walking outside last night to look at the moon to the east to see how full it was I turned around to look West and saw what looked like a reverse shooting star. A bright strip of light going vertical up towards a cloud in the evening sky. When it reached the cloud it made a bright red flash and was gone....I stood there observing the sky waiting to see where it went and I never saw the light again, even when the cloud past the spot where the light disappeared.

Surf City, NC
While vacationing in Topsail Island, North Carolina, I stepped out to have a smoke and looked to the south towards the pier and noticed a red light in the sky it was high, but not really high. I went in to grab the binoculars and with a closer look, I realized that the red light was now blinking and in a series of patterns that I have never seen on an aircraft. It would disappear, and then reappear a distance of 30 to 40 ft. I went in to get my wife and I grabbed my phone. I started recording, and she looked at it through the binoculars she is a sceptic and I said, "Well, Hun, what do you think of this one?" She replied, "That is weird, really weird" I then grabbed the binoculars from her and began to watch as the object that was heading south stopped doing the blink thing and turned westbound, inland, but there was another green ball of light probably 300 ft above the red object as the lights disappeared behind a house. I went to wait for it on the other side, and when it reappeared, the green light was now about 300 ft below the red light. I watched as it disappeared out of sight. Note: Just before the sighting a marine helicopter flew out to sea and there was no sounds when I experienced my sighting.

Coincidentally, one other person saw same lights in portersville at 5:30pm and in Ohio at 1030pm. Also we went back out and drove toward where we saw the lights 45 min later and someone had ran into a cow on that road... Coincidence? I don't know

We suspect that the witness probably was looking at the three planets, which currently are very prominent in the eastern sky. PD

I reported a sighting a few months ago and have basically been seeing the same things off and on for awhile. My previous one was the "rather not say" when asked what town. Reason being I come from a very for lack of a better term "traditional minded" area and I don't want to be known that I have been seeing lights lately. Since that first report I have been noticing the same styled balls of light on occassion going through a certain field by my house and dropping so low to the ground I thought a few times the lights would actually land. They would hover there and then abruptly shoot quickly up and fly away. That's the back story to tonight. Again like the last report, I went out to have a cigarette and saw two gigantic lights one slightly above the other. At this point admittingly I suspected it be a show again and watched. They moved in a jittery fashion in zigzags up and down, "U" shapes, and diamond shapes. Also they would move straight up and down. The bottom one was more active. They would get brighter and larger, then dim to almost nothing. The movements of the two didn't seem to have a pattern together. After awhile I looked to my side and at first it looked like a ton of smaller lights were slowly gliding through the sky as well, but I noticed the moon also looked like it might be moving in the same direction and decided it was just an effect of fast moving clouds passing through. This made me wonder if that could be the case with the big lights so I turned to their direction again and looked at all the stars there, the stars in that direction didn't seem to be nearly as effected with the cloud movement and I also realized their effect made stars look like they only went in one specific direction regardless. Not up, down, zigzag etc. That also made me wonder if the clouds might have something to do with the dimming and brightening, but I noticed they would brighten and dim when there were no clouds and in fact tended to get very bright when a cloud passed them and could still be seen moving about, then as before would stop, then move again. They would change from white, yellow, blue, green and red, but mostly just white and blue. After about 20 minutes I went inside because it was to cold to stay out. I would at this point like to know what it is I'm seeing the past few months. I do know there is an air force base nearby, and they may be some sort of weird new plane?

Stapleton, AL
Two bright lights in the distance. One of the two lights would flicker and weave slowly back and forth. It seemed as if the lights would dull to almost a disappearing light, then get all of the sudden get brighter. The lights were a normal light bulb color, and sometimes would flicker with red. The lights moved very slow, took about 15 minutes to notice it actually moving. They followed the same path. One lighter was brighter than the other, and both seem to be fading and coming back. It also seemed as if they were rising, and moving from the east toward the south. I watched for about 20 mins, then they faded behind the tree line. I know they were not stars, because of the weaving motion. Venus and Jupiter?? PD

Dallas, TX
On October 28, 2015, between 8 and 9-pm CDT, it was dark and I was returning from a 45-minute walk. I went through the Lake Highlands Baptist Church parking lot, at the intersection of Northcliff Drive and Parkhurst Drive. This Church is about 1-mile northeast of White Rock Lake in northeast Dallas, Texas. Directly to my southwest, about 20-degrees above the horizon, were about twelve orange lights, forming about six distinct pairs. The lights were each uniformly as bright as a full Venus, but were pure orange in color. No FAA aircraft navigation colors were visible, specifically white, red and green. The lights appeared to be over the Fair Park area, at about 5,000-feet in altitude and 5-miles distance. The span inside each pair was comparable to a 737, from wingtip to wingtip. Each two lights appeared to be mated, but I could not see any solid object between the lights. None of the pairs seemed attached with a different pair, as they slowly moved around independently. Each pair was separate of the other pairs and they appeared to be at various staggered distances. I only saw a flat-on view of these things from their northeast side, and do not know the other side. Another witness 71975 saw the lights from another angle and could give triangulation. A jetliner was directly behind the lights to the southwest at about 10,000-feet altitude and 10-miles away. This aircraft apparently left D-FW Airport and was traveling in a southeast direction behind the lights. The night was clear and the lights were steady for 5-minutes, so they were not natural phenomena. They were much too large, bright, high and stable to be Chinese lanterns. These were illegally hovering near a Love Field flight path, five miles south of the runway, for five minutes without proper navigation colors; therefore, they were not man-made objects. These orange lights should have been easily seen by Love Field aircraft and traffic control and recorded. The pairs each slowly faded out one by one after about five minutes.

Philadelphia, PA
At around 2200 10/27/2015, as my wife and I arrive home in our apartment complex, we were discussing our issues, when I see a light moving across the sky and dismissed it as an airplane. It had green, red, and yellowish/white lights running across it. Couldn't tell the shape because it was behind some trees in the distance. What caught both my wife and I's attention was that the lights returned to a position in the sky where we could see it behind the tree in a swaying manner. Not typical for an aircraft, and after spending 10 years in the Air Force (Edwards AFB & Pentagon), I knew that was not normal not even for a helicopter to maneuver in such an erratic manner. We lost sight of the object after it dipped down below the treeline in the distance. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

It was moving very fast and it was going up and down, but no helicopter or plane can do that. I don't think drones can fly this fast. The lights were red. Filmed from a buiding called Torres de Yomely.

Oklahoma City, OK
While sitting on my front porch, I spied two large flashing Red lights (separated by 1/4 appx) being followed by a conventional jet aircraft. They were traveling due east and appeared to be at least 50,000 ft(or higher as there was no noise) in altitude and traveling at a higher rate than normal Airliner traffic. I could clearly see the red/green wing lights of the Jet, but the lead objects only had one very large distinctly red light apiece. They appeared to be flying an erratic but albeit relatively straight line due east... Clear crisp cool night with a rising full moon and a North wind of only 3-4mph. Unlimited visibility cloudless sky...

8 lights, crescent formation, in an odd cloud, moved in unison, disappeared in order from left to right as they exited the cloud.

A white ball of light. Traveled for a couple of seconds in my eye sight. Full moon. Clouds here and there. It darted between the clouds. Headed straight in a north west direction. About 1/20th the size of the moon. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Wichita, KS
Last night, I opened my window, and looked up and saw this very bright light. It would flicker brightly for a few seconds and then dim down a bit. When it stopped flickering, it would move about a cm or two (if you were to hold out a ruler in front of you) to the left and right, as if it were weaving back and forth. After that it would move about 6 cm to the right and then stay stationary again for a few mins, and it would repeat this motion until it moved far enough away to where it wasn't see-able anymore. The light i saw was between a bright white and a very very light blue. And in the area i saw it in the sky, i also realized the litter dipper constellation was viewable near it.

Was driving east on Floyd Av approaching Claus Rd when I saw 5 orange lights. There were 2 one above the other and next to them 3 one above the other both were strait up. It looked like they were part of a antenna until they split off and all but one dissapeared. I stopped and was looking at it float across the sky. Put a flash light on it and it immediately dissapeared. Another car pulled next to us and a couple inside said they saw the same lights. I looked in the dark sky to the south and saw a black object. Which promptly dissapeared as well.

Otsego, MN
Orange non blinking light in the sky traveling silently south east fairly quickly. 500 yards above the ground (just a guess). Looked like a spherical light. When it was directly above you could see a squarish shape around it. The wind is currently headed WEST at 4mph. This was not a Chinese lantern.

About 6-8 glowing reddish-orange lights floating in the sky looking East from Linden Ave and Woodman Dr. They moved across the night sky and then fizzled out after about 5 minutes from first noticing them.

Villa Grove, IL
Driving south on IL 130 north of Villa Grove IL. Saw light in low lying clouds. From a distance it appeared stationary. I thought it was a light on top of a tower. As I approached it, I noticed a farmer in his field working after dark. The object was hovering above the farmer in a low lying cloud. The object appeared to have two bright lights aiming north. Although the object was hovering, it was also slowly moving northward. It could have been a helicopter but if not, I have no idea what it was. It was not a star, a planet, an airplane, or a jet. I would have pulled over and watched it but I had my wife and kids in the car. She told me to move my ass down the road. She said I was going to get us all killed. Always wanted to see a UFO. I think I finally saw one and I didn't get to enjoy it. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Rochester, NY
At about 7:50 p.m., on Saturday night, October 24th, 2015, I walked out of Marketplace Mall in Rochester, New York by the Macy's. I looked up above the mall building and saw many flashes of lights. They would change from dim to brighter every few seconds as if they were passing through clouds. I watched this for nearly ten minutes before I had to go somewhere.
