New Milford, CT
The UFO was sighted while I was walking my dog at approximately 9:30 pm. The UFO moved very quickly at an incredibly low altitude. The UFO illuminated warm colors (Orange Yellow Red) that I could not isolate due to its speed. The high speed caused to lights to "streak" across the sky. The UFO flew in a exact same swooping motion 3 time very quickly. A very similar motion to a boomerang. The UFO was about the size of a bat or medium sized bird. The UFO made no noise as it flew. The UFO's altitude ranged from approximately 8 feet to approximately 20 feet as it made it's swooping motion. The UFO swooped downward behind my house and was not spotted again. To be honest when I first saw it I was more curious than spooked. After it dipped out of sight that quickly changed and I made my way inside not looking behind me for it. A few minutes later I peered outside the window with not luck.

Skiatook, OK
A bright object brighter than any star, with no flashing lights, or colored lights. It was moving from North to South and slightly east. It was moving at a constant speed then started to fade. It then faded and disappeared. There may have been a streak behind it but not sure, if there was it was very dim.

Midwest City, OK
At 9:21pm August 19, 2015, standing at XXXX Orchard Blvd MWC OK 73130, we saw in the distant west sky, a light that was white just as the other stars, but its size was at least three times larger. This large star was moving in direction to the south. While moving south the large star was white in color. The star then changed directions to going in direction of the west. When the star began moving west, the color changed to red, then seconds after, the large star disappeared.

Indian Rocks Beach, FL
I was outside my house sitting on the porch at night, when I noticed a red-and-white flashing light flying from left to right in the sky. At first I thought it was an airplane with the landing lights on (hence the flashing red and white lights), but then I noticed that the pauses in between the flashes were unusually long, and there was no illumination of the object in between the flashes (this was different then all of the other aircraft I have seen before). After realizing this, I turned on my iPod Touch to try to take a video of the object. My sighting of the first object lasted for about 45 seconds Interestingly, several seconds after the first object was blocked by the palm tree, I spotted a second object traveling in the opposite direction, with the same flashing light and approximate size as the first object. The second object traveled from right to left, for about 30 seconds, until it appeared to slow down slightly, decrease in altitude for a few seconds, and then disappear (most likely behind a cloud). Including the time in between my observation of the two objects, the entire sighting lasted about 1 minute and 30 seconds. I would like to note that while there were other aircraft in the vicinity of the UFOs, I was not able to estimate how far away they were (as I did not know how far away the UFOs were, or how big the UFOs were). Note for investigator: Look in the accompanying e-mails for screenshots from the video, as well as the original video.

Lebanon, OR
Lebanon, OR 8:45 pm. My husband and I were out for a run. The sun was just going down and there was a little light left. I saw a bright light in the sky moving. I thought it was odd it was so bright even though it was still semi-light out and I didn’t see any other stars in the sky. I watched it for awhile and noticed it was moving fast, changed directions multiple times, hovered then flashed white to red 3x and once flashed bluish-green before turning to red completely. Then the light descended directly down behind the tree line (see video). A second light was spotted moving and changing directions but was lost behind the tree line. I saw a very similar sighting about a week ago (also reported on this site). The light was in approximately the same area of the sky as the light I reported last week and behaved similarly.

I seen a red light in the sky it felt like I was drawn to look outside and I go out to look and 3 red lights was kinda it a triangle pattern just hovering about 1000 or 2000 above my house they had no sound I watched them for about 30 minutes but then when I went to get my phone to record them about 10 seconds of recording it the red lights flash one time then go straight up and it was like watching a balloon go farther and farther in the sky until you couldn’t see it no more

Lima, OH
Spotted what I thought was a very bright star at first but turned out to be moving directly overhead. No sound and it was just a very bright white light. May have also had some red in it as well. Went directly overhead to Northeast and out of view within a 2 minute span. Saw a plane just after and it looked as if the light was actually higher than the plane. And it was still the brightest in the sky. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Mercedes, TX
An object that looked like a star was observed by my brother, who lives next door. I went outside to observe too. I located object in sky directly above. It seemed to be moving east to west slightly north. It was moving very slow. I checked through my apps on phone to see if it was a satellite/rocket or star. I could not identify as satellite/rocket or star. With binoculars, it could be seen a bit better, maybe a weather balloon but I have never seen one before. Object suddenly disappeared after going behind a high level cloud (cirrus) that was very faint.

Muskegon, MI
Exited rear of workplace and looked up to see a large, white, very bright light traveling fairly low and very fast. Cloud ceiling was 12,000 ft this evening and no stars visible. Object made no sound that I could hear. After traveling in a straight line from NE to SW it went at a sharp downward angle and disappeared from view. My first thought was helicopter, but if it were, it would have crashed into the ground. And it was moving way too fast to be the State Police helicopter that is familiar to our area. Watched meteor shower for several hours just two nights prior to this, and this was no meteor. Drone, plane, helicopter? I don't know, but I've never seen anything like it.

Athens (Greece) · Greece
What was strange was that unlike a regular airplane the craft wasn't flickering. At some point the light was starting to dim, it disappeared from the sky for a short while until reappearing again. The light again resumed its previous action and dimmed out once more,this time however it did not reappear. Unfortunately, I did not have my phone on me to capture and take pictures. I have seen this type of light in the sky previously while in Greece, and while looking up from the same place a couple weeks earlier. I did not make anything of it the first time but it has gotten me interested now.

So, weird sighting twice now in the sky, want some opinions and to see if anyone else has seen anything similar. First sighting was by my mom, I wrote it off as a comet. This was last week sometime. Second sighting was just a few mins ago, and we both saw it. It's low enough in the atmosphere that I thought it was a plane. No blinking lights, plus the entire thing emitted a glow. It was traveling rather slowly, no trail, and it was witnessed for about one minute. It was a giant ball of light moving from west to east. At the end of the sighting it got to be very bright, then dimmed to red, and then faded out of sight completely. I've seen comets and shooting stars, logically I cannot connect those dots. It wasn't a commercial craft or drone, and it was silent. Any other guesses I'm not considering? Oh, also, it wasn't one of those Asian candle paper lamp thingies either. I've seen those released numerous times and they move all about, flicker, and glow and are nowhere as large as what this was. This was really bright, like the incoming lights of a plane, but traveling much more slowly, without noise, without blinking. I am stumped. Any guesses??

Rowley, MA
At approximately 9pm (21:00) on Monday the 17th of August, I was putting my dog outside to make her business for the night. My kitchen door roughly faces east. As a turned south, I noticed I had left my grill out and needed to put it in my shed. Now the east sky to my left, I noticed a bright light high in the sky out of the corner of my eye. Not really realizing what I was seeing yet, I started to roll my grill towards my shed, but kept looking back to the east sky. It's hard to explaine the color and speed that the item was dropping. I am color blind, so I cannot tell you what color the light was, but it was dropping in the sky almost at the pace that you would caulk a vertical seam in a tub. The backdrop to the light was the night sky, full of stars. I could not see a cloud, but I can't say it is not possible. The light did not blink like the 100's of aircraft that pass over my house at night. It also made no sound. As it was dropping, it disappeared. It disappeared like a plane might into a cloud, except it didn't appear to be any clouds as I could see the night sky full of stars behind it. I have spent the past week observing the sky and have seen meteors from the meteor showers. This is not the same. The drop was at a controlled, slow speed.

Edmonton (Canada), AB · Canada
I am a security officer at a summer camp for children just northeast of the city of Edmonton, and while on foot patrol, happened to look up at the night sky, admiring the stars when I noticed what appeared to be white light moving from south to north across the night sky. I was standing facing west. I can only describe this object as having looked like a large star or satellite but it was too low in the sky to be either. I initially thought is was a low flying aircraft but did not seen any flashing lights like red, green or white that would be visible on a plane. It also did not make any sound. I couldn't hear any engine noise or humming or anything. As it passed directly over me, it suddenly vanished as though the light had been turned off. I followed its projected path and did not see it again. I could not see it moving away from me at all. It just wasn't there. At the time of the sighting, the sky was completely clear with stars clearly visible and the temperature was 9 degrees Celsius. I have no explanation for what it was.

Ocean City, MD
As we sat on my in-laws front porch (second floor), my wife noticed an object in the sky coming towards us (East). To us, it looked like an aircraft because of its speed, however it was not blinking, nor was it anywhere near as obvious as the other aircraft in the area. We thought maybe it was the ISS, BUT, after we ran upstairs to the rooftop deck, we lost sight of it. There was a sea of stars, and not one of them was moving for about 20 min, until I noticed another light, not blinking or twinkling much like the other light we saw, start from a stationary position and start moving North. We saw no "trails" or other lights with these objects we saw. They looked like a planet (not twinkling) and, for all we know, the two objects we saw could have been the same one, but it stopped for a time, then continued in another direction. In short - it was VERY strange. It didn't "shoot" across the sky, instead it was a gradual "flight", how! ever considering how high it looked it could not have been a plane. As for a possible ISS sighting, why would the ISS stop for a few minutes then change direction? I need answers! Please, anyone, if you have any info for us let us know! Thanks. We have changed the time above, to reflect a nighttime sighting. PD

Belcamp, MD
Was driving home and I saw 2 orange light in the sky flying towards Edgewood, MD. I was a passenger in the car and told my girlfriend to pull over. Once she stopped the car the two lights change their direction in the opposite way and flew out of range of my camera phone. All of a sudden one light started to flicker and the disappeared. The other kept flying until if got over a tree line in the distance and do the same thing. The weird thing is when both lights changed direction they were both right over us and looked about as high a plane would fly while doing airborne operations about 800 to 1500 feet. I am Airborne, so I would know that height, but I heard no sound of engines or anything. Not sure what it was but it was very bright and really weird.

Lakewood, OH
Ooomfg!!! We were sitting on the front porch at 10:42 PM, Saturday night, 8/15/15, and watched this amber twinkling star like light move straight up from the tree tops (north western sky) up to the stars very quickly! Wow. It went straight up into the night sky into the stars and vanished. It seemed to start off slow then pick up speed as it kept going up to space. Twinkling like an amber star it appeared to have come up from trees in the distance as if it had landed somewhere in the north western part of Lakewood/Rocky River, Ohio, area. Then, it just went straight up, which is unnatural to any plane or helicopter movements. Did not have lights but twinkled like a star.

Montague (Canada), PE · Canada
It was a clear night with a phenomenal amount of stars. We watched a bright light traveling ESE from WNW at a rapid speed. It was the brightest light in the sky. There were no green or red flashing lights visible at any time. It took approximately 2 minutes to travel across the sky. We had 4 witnesses. It got smaller and smaller as we watched and finally disappeared. One witnesses is a mech/elec engineer with several patents. He estimated the object to be flying at approximately 25,000 feet. Color temperature of the light was cold. It was way under the speed of a shooting star, way over the speed of an aircraft. Lat 46.1667*N Long 62.6500*W

Eagle Point, OR
Me and my wife were sitting on our back porch, watching the meteor shower. And directly above us I noticed a very bright light slowly moving a crossed the sky. Brightest light in the sky and much larger then any star light. It was moving very slowly without making a sound. It was traveling from the North to the South. After a over minute of it just slowly moving in a straight line, we realized it wasn't a meteor or a plane we could explain. Then it slowly changed from a bright white light to a soft orange glow and seemed to get smaller and just disappeared right in front of our eyes.

Could not pick it up on our video camera this time but we could pick up the plane which was about the same brightness as the craft in its airspace ,camera kept going out of focus on the craft but no problem with the plane...... They are here. Everyday!

Keswick, VA
5 glowing orange red lights/fireballs not blinking slowly made their way across the sky from east-ish to west-ish. At first thought they were brightly glowing planets but they were too big and I realized they were moving. Then I thought they were planes but they moved too close together and the lights weren't blinking. At one point, they were in a perfect "w" formation directly in front of me across the sky as I was driving towards them. They kept moving slowly across until I lost sight them because of tree cover. I am an attorney and was returning home late in the evening. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. PD

Bright green light, round, hovered for several seconds in one spot, moved west bound, then changed to red. Changed to green then back to red before becoming three red dots in an equilateral triangle. Object changed direction rapidly several times before disappearing over horizon.
