Tengo 3 fotos y un video que quisiera que analicen, es muy rara la luz que aparece. Ocurrio al atardecer al filmar a mi hija con su barrilete, use un telefono celular enfocando de frente al sol que se ponia detras de una montaña. Me gustaria saber si es un defecto de la camara o puede ser algo mas… Me sorprende tambien el sonido o zumbido que se escucha acompañando el movimiento de la luz.

This happened to me July 14, 2015, at 11:10 P.M.. I went outside wondering if my friend still wanted to go get a beer at the bar or not. I was getting ready to text him to see what was going on and if he was still planning on going. I looked around at the clear sky and the way the stars looked so beautiful tonight that was very unusual lately until that day a few days ago. I then noticed one star brightening up. I thought that might be them again but ther're not identical this time. I tried to get my camera on my cellphone ready but I knew it was too late when the one bright star was dimming down as a tiny blinking light on a plane was coming towards it. Then both stars disappeared simultaneously. They never came back as clouds covering the entire sky were moving in towards that area at 11:39 P.M. Someone else told me they and others saw something simular on July 3rd at night. This person told me this happened on July 6th in Hodgkins, Illinois. My other reports were both stars were brightening identically and disappearing simultaneously. I reported this phenomenon on October 8, 2014 at 5:55 A.M. and January 14, 2015, at 5:45 A.M.. I found one report that matches my report on this site that was on October 9, 2015, in Abingdon, Virginia. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

An orange glowing ball was hovering near Canaan Lake, then disappeared, reappearing and flying silently across the sky, before dimming out and not seen again.

Sitting on porch, looking at sky, and saw what I thought was a bright star to the left of Venus and slightly above it. I sit on porch all the time and never seen it before then no more than five seconds after turning my head slightly I saw the light pulsate out of the corner of my eye and when I turned my head to look it was gone. I stood up to get better look and could not find the light anywhere. I could still see Venus, but I didn't see the light return or show up in another spot. It really puzzled me and I stayed outside for another 20 minutes and it never returned. What could it of been?

I seen a UFO. The UFO was flying very high and slow, but I felt like once I focused on the light/UFO. The UFO went higher , and started to move a little faster. Suddenly, the UFO went into outer space. I had a feeling that I was being watched by somebody or someone.

I was walking my dogs at the dog park and there were fireworks been displayed. When I looked at the fireworks, a red light caught my eye. It was behind the city skyline. At first, I thought it was a plane, but I notice it wasn't blinking it moved on a straight line and then stopped very quickly made a extremely sharp u turn and stopped again only to shine (sparkle like diamonds) for a second then it made another sharp turn but this time had changed the colour to red again then it it moved and stopped moved and stopped very sharp each time then it disappeared behind the the trees.

Dubuque, IA
Neighbor and I witnessed a light, roughly the 'size' of a star, moving from the Southeast to the Northwest. We watched this 'light' move and stop...move and stop in the same direction-to the Northeast, until suddenly a light..resembling an old videogame-dash, dash...so on and so forth, shot into view-again to the Southwestern sky and as it left a laser like light trailing very fast, the 'star light' and the meteoric like 'incoming' whatever....both disappeared. This is a hot zone for these types of events Peter, ergo I will do my best from now on to eilm or photograph these anomolous 'activities' as best I can. hope this was helpful in some way as this area is truly a 'hotspot' for craft unusual and unidentified sky events. Keep up the good work Peter. Many people are very grateful and proud of your endeavour to log these bizarre craft and their activities. Yours, ((name deleted))

Fishkill, NY
Observed orange lights, moving across the sky from SW to NE and fading behind clouds. Sighting started approx. 10:30 PM. Over a period of 10 minutes, observed approximately 12 orange lights at different times, in groups of 2 or 3. In one case, two objects moved transverse to their primary direction of travel, moving closer together, then moving apart again. All single or groups of lights moved in the same general direction. Given the distance moved across the sky in the short time period, these were not paper lanterns or similar objects. These were bright orange lights, but too far away to note any shape.

Firebaugh/Mercey Hot Springs, CA
Another night soaking at Mercey Hot Springs, looking at the numerous stars and planets. I've seen whatever this is occur about five different times now at various evening times, during different seasons over the years. This time my brother was there with me and also observed the phenomena. It's a bright, silent white light that flashes anywhere from one to four times per instance. They are brighter than the planes going by or the stars in the sky. This time they were in a different part of the sky, and it happened two separate times. As I have seen this occurance before, we were watching and waiting for it to happen, and we weren't disappointed. My brother conjectured that they are maybe meteors coming directly at us? But, we really have no idea what they are. This is the first time I've observed it twice in one night. We also saw readily indentifiable planes, meteors and satellites, as usual on a clear night.

One then two lights over my neighbor's house to the southeast of mine. Red lights turned off and one reappeared about 3 seconds later to the West. Over my neighbors across from me. Then turned off and reappeared just east again. A few minutes later, we saw 5-6 jets with it seemed like strobe light in the backs, flying in a row from North to South going East towards the direction of the red lights that were turning on and off and moving across the sky. The lights moved too straight, back and forth too fast. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be both quite objective in his description of the sighting, and sober-minded. We have changed the time above, to reflect a nighttime sighting. PD

So, I am writing this story on behalf of my boyfriend.. This past experience he just had will be number 3 of profound experiences with unexplained phenomena happening. I will briefly explain his first two encounters. His first was when he was working over in the desert in Borrego Springs, CA. It was around 9:30pm, him and a friend were just leaving the fitness area in their complex. Something caught their attention in the sky, and what started as one light, turned into about 15 lights over a 30 minute or so time span. Some were moving in more of a straight line, but then some were freely moving through the sky in more of a zig-zag motion. Towards the end of the sighting, two of the lights were headed toward each other, one from the east and one from the west. They were parallel to each other, one slightly above the other. And one the two lights met in the sky, they stopped. One light flashed to the other. My boyfriend said it was as bright, and as fast, as the flash from a camera, and not over a second later did the other light seem to flash back to the first. And as soon as it stopped flashing, the light on top shot straight into the sky and disappeared, and the other continued heading east in the sky. As him and his friend stood there, baffled and confused at what they just saw, they continued to watch the sky. A few minutes later, you hear (but not easily see) a military jet flying out over the sky in the direction the majority of the lights were traveling, almost as it was chasing after it. His second experience I was there for, so I can personally explain what we saw. This was my first experience, or at least the first one that seemed undeniable. By this time, we were now living in Guam. A place with barely any light pollution, LOTS of stars in the sky, lots of planes and military planes/helicopters/stealth planes/etc.. But as much as there is military there, we still feel that what we saw was not military at all. We were standing out back of our house, it was our last night staying there.. A fast moving, far away light was moving through the sky and caught our attention almost at the same moment. As our eyes continued following it move through what looked like the stars,it was so high up, suddenly it almost seemed to shoot up INTO the sky like in hyper speed, and disappeared. Not even a second later there was a bright flash (that made me think of his first experience in CA) like a camera flash and then it was all gone, nothing. Over. SO WEIRD. This was the first time I had an experience (and I've always been a star gazer/believer) but this moment was like no other. It left us both speechless, amazed, confused.. so many thoughts run through your mind seeing something so unexplainable. So, I have always wanted to share these stories because I am one that feels we should all share our experiences because right now, after all of this, it just leaves me feeling (even more so) that we have no idea what goes on in this world, our governments, our military advances, or just the fact that we are not alone. My entire life I've wanted to have an experience, because I felt like it would help put my eager mind at ease. But after seeing what I saw, it only leaves me with more questions, but a definite feeling of knowing. So- the reason I shared these stories now, is because my boyfriend just had another unexplainable experience last night that just seems too profound not to share. My boyfriend is a fisher((man)), through and through. Casts out during the day and night, free dives.. he spends a lot of time alone walking the reef at night looking for fish. And last night, he found a lot more than that. From the messages he sent me today: I also saw a UFO flashed my light at it it got bright zoomed away from me out to sea I started walking inside because I got freaked out a little and when I turned around it was pretending to be a star, but there were no stars besides that one and maybe 6 others I saw it traveling south to north bright orange light When I flashed it it moves east fast when I turned back to look it re appeared and was still But was reflecting of the water And I kept looking for my iphone and didn't feel it in my pocket until I got to our floor And the flying thing saw that I saw it and took off It was more intense than beret go because it was closer it was a very very strange night I honestly know beyond a shadow of doubt that we are not the only life form in the universe A military vessel would not respond to a 4.75$ flashlight It seemed absolutely ridiculous that it was able to see my light I don't think human eyes could've seen that shitty light at that distance it was just above the horizon Which means it was probably over 20 miles away I have no idea how Highup it was an altitude but you can only see 16 miles on the ocean before the curvature of the earth Is too much to see further I honestly walked away once I start react to my light because it seems so impossible and the fact that it was reflecting off the water is super weird because it's crystal-clear night tonight and that star is not there When I walked away checked for phone and looked back it was static Not moving And was bright enough to reflect on the water From very far It's hard to know how to feel honestly --and when I asked him after it happening to him so many times, how it makes him feel-- I wouldn't really care except it's been three times in my life that I've seen something that tells me we know nothing about what governments/military technological advancements or plain and simple we're not alone So its easy to see why now, after all this time, I felt it was time to share these stories. But I hope in reading this, it helps you feel you found some answers, or some kind of confirmation or knowing that we are not alone.. we don't know everything that goes on in this world.. we may never know.. but theres something out there, maybe trying to let us know this very thing. Take from this what you will, but I know for me- the fire inside that I feel to know the truth is still burning strong, and I know someday things will be made more clear for us. I just hope with the way that our world behaves, they are here to help us and we don't screw it up.

Charleston, SC
Three lights (looked like bright stars or planets) were moving at a steady pace from south to north across the sky before abruptly slowing and forming into a triangle. Their motions were very counter-intuitive, unlike any aircraft I’ve ever seen. They then then loitered for a couple of minutes, before started moving north again where they reformed into what looked like a crooked L-shaped constellation in the sky. They stayed fixed in that formation for several minutes before they started to slowly, almost imperceptibly drift apart. From the south, two green flashing lights, which I presumed to be aircraft(s), approached at a steady pace. They too stopped abruptly in the sky and loitered off to the south an unknown distance from the other objects. As they stayed perfectly still, the three objects to the north began to slowly drift apart in different directions, eventually fading off. Meanwhile, it appeared that aircraft were approaching were approaching from t! he south in the direction of the objects. After approximately ten minutes, the flashing green lights started moving south again and disappeared into haze of the night. They didn’t turn around; they simply reversed direction, after sitting motionless in the sky.

Utting, AZ
When I looked in my rear view mirrors it seemed to be following my car staying at the same distance as I drove forward. Then I saw it turn into 3 blinking lights as if traveling up and down like an animated sign. Then the lights seem to turn toward me and get brighter all the while staying the same distance from my car. I got scared and did not stop to investigate and when I looked again the light had gone off

On my way home from dinner, my wife and I spotted a flickering orange light coming towards us, so I pulled my car off the road and hopped out for a look. Instantly you could tell it wasn't man made. First there was no sound, second the light seemed to be flickering as if on fire, then it hovered in one place before making erratic changes in direction before the light went out. After the light went out you could still see a black shadow possible in the shape of a rectangle slowly descend behind the tree line. It either went into the Chesepeake Bay or the Langley military base that is on the other side of the water. It was too dark to tell distances properly.

Fife, WA
In was driving home from work heading through the Puyallup/Fife Washington area by Sterino farms. I was looking towards the North were I saw 6 Bright orange lights in the sky in an L shape about 3 miles away. I stopped on the road and tried to take a picture with my cell phone, but it didn't turn out well. I watched the lights as they moved up into the cloud cover (2800 FT) and disappeared. I started to drive east bound again and then turned North towards Fife, when I saw another orange light in the sky to the West of me. I went over the Puyallup River bridge onto Levee road and watch the single orange light circle around behind me before it moved up into the clouds and disappeared. With my windows down there was no audible sound. The way the objects moved they looked like drones flying around with a bright orange light on them. They weren't super fast, just kind of a slow steady movement. Maybe about 50 MPH.

I was a passenger crossing the Princess Margaret Bridge on my way to dinner with my boyfriend and his sister. I looked up into the clouds, and noticed a very still, strange and large preternaturally bright/disc formation. It seemed to shimmer, almost a bit mercurial. It was certainly not a star or airplane of any sort. It hovered/paused long enough in front of the clouds for me to try and get my companions attention to see it, then vanished. Nobody else caught a glimpse. Its movement seemed very deliberate, very efficient, and not of this world. The speed and (oddly enough) expressiveness of its movement hinted at an awareness of being witnessed (by me or who knows else could have seen it in the vicinity) I am an artist, who is not particularly knowledgable on the topic. I don't watch much tv or movies about aliens/spacecraft etc, but I am fascinated and open to the possibility of such things.

Three similar-sized lights appeared on the western inlet between the mainland & Washburn Island. One remained and two separated, moved east while rotating. They then remained in place for a few minutes, and then all 3 disappeared.

Sebastopol, CA
It was 12:11 and I saw a reflection of light on my blinds. I very slowly lifted my blinds and I saw 8 light in a straight line and 2 red lights under it and they were flashing. Occasionally there was a very small dim light shooting under it towards the ground. It took it a hour to start moving and when it did it moved slowly but then it appeared a few miles away. I was watching youtube so I jumped on to that and 20 minutes later it was gone. I have yet to see it again. I fear that it was over my house because it was only 2 or 4 houses away from mine. We suspect that the report may be a hoax. Witness elects to provide no contact information. PD

Davenport, FL
My dogs became very alert and anxious to a muffled booming noise (similar to a door being slammed in the distance). When I peaked out of the window there was a cobalt blue light in the sky which seem to have movement. Thinking it was a reflection from an electronic device in my bedroom, I decided to go outside to confirm if it was in fact a light in the sky. To my surprise, it was. The cobalt blue light continued on a path to the North East from my location before disappearing in the distance a rapid lateral motion could be seen which made it seem impossible for a civilian plane. The light was a solid, non-flashing cobalt blue light. I have been a plane spotter and photographer for years, and have seen many civilian and military aircraft fl,y and it did not behave as such. Living in an area with many balloon flights which often have a light of similar color, I discarded the option due to its speed and path. Also discarded it being a rotary wing craft, due to its speed and rapid lateral movement.

Oahu, HI
Had been seeing two bright lit almost triangular shaped objects in the western sky of Oahu several nights. Lights were off coastline over ocean and noticed not only by myself but others on beach. Objects seemed to be changing colors and were out after sunset every evening, so I thought maybe there was a logical explanation for them. On the night of 7/11/15 I woke up at 3:30 AM and went into the kitchen to get a drink, and through the shades, I noticed some lights. Walked ver to take a look and was shocked to see appoximately 5 to six of these bright lights lined up across the ocean from left to right. Looked like they were hovering in place. Looked like there was about at least 30 ft between each one. Tried to get my husband to get out of bed and come and look at them but he wouldn't. It was creepy to see. Do not know how long they were there. Was to afraid to keep watching them. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Chilmark, MA
Three separate light-sources, about 15 degrees above the north-northeast horizon, first appeared in a straight line. Subsequently, the middle light ascended so that the three lights made a triangle. Then the light at the right base of the triangle winked out, followed by the left base-light. Seconds later, the apex-light also disappeared, but it seemed to ascend and recede in doing so. Total length of time viewed - 3-4 minutes.
