Cross Run, PA
Driving northbound on 81 south of Hazleton. One oval-shaped natural, but bright, light appeared to the west of the Highway around 1,000 feet above ground level (they seemed very close). Within seconds there were 10-15 lights to the west stretching out over the next mile. They were not in a line, they were all over. We could see additional lights behind trees and as we continued we were able to see that the lights continued into the distance. Entire family was in car but only wife was awake. We are both former military with extensive knowledge of helicopters, this was something different. There was no noise coming from these, complete silence.

On my deck trying to show my 3 year old a bat flying over the house, sun was down it was nearly dark. Scouring the bat was why I continued to look up when from the corner of my eye a craft not more than 500 ft appeared and quickly went behind the tree line. No lights, silent, only 1, gray oval football shape.

it was 10:44 pm when my friend and i saw the lights. we were parked on a side part of the road where excelsior blvd and saint albany’s bay rd intersect at (44.9066, -93.5380). it overlooks a highway and it has a good, clear view of the sky. we saw the lights in the sky and thought it looked weird. we couldn’t see any objects because it was kind of cloudy where the lights were so you could only see the lights through the clouds. my friend thought the lights were from the high school football field lights so we drove there (about 5 mins away from where we were parked) but it wasn’t. the lights were a white color and were in the form of an oval from where we were but i feel like it would look like a circle if we were directly under it. the lights in the shape were not a solid oval, there were breaks in between the lights. the oval also looked like it was a pretty big size too. we couldn’t really see it move considering we were moving most of the time in the car to try to find possible answers. we only saw one but it could have been 10-ish small objects in the form of an oval. We suspect that the witnesses were observing the advertising lights being projected on the bottoms of clouds by a local casino. PD

Took a photo of an upside-down rainbow then after taking noticed 3 objects close by with a kind of white glow around it, you have to zoom in to notice them they also have little bits sticking out under them.

4 lights racing across the sky above our house. Lights had the appearance of search lights. The lights would tear across the sky and then gather together and then take off again. Tried to video, but camera could not pick up the light. Advertising lights? PD

Looked like a meteor but 10000 times bigger. It was extremely white and lit up the whole sky. Moved extremely slow. Then it went over my tree line and was gone.

Honolulu, HI
Standing on beach at EWA beach, myself and 2 others were looking at the sky and noticed there was an orb cutting across the sky. At first it looked like it was a satellite however as we watched it, it split into 3 objects and went in opposite directions. Object was dull white. Very visable to the naked eye. Whole thing was like 45 seconds.

Las Cruces, NM
One very bright, large, oval, orange yellow light faded in and stayed for about 15 seconds, then faded out in the Southwest sky. We witnessed the same phenomenon the previous night in the exact same spot in the sky at the exact time of day. Observers are not really into UFOs and were just sitting outside chatting. One is a retired tattoo artist the other is a repossession specialist.

Las Cruces, NM
One very bright, large, oval, orange yellow light faded in and stayed for about 10 seconds then faded out. About 2 minutes later, three faded in in consecutive order, then faded out consecutively in about ten seconds in a vaguely triangular formation. They were in the Southwest sky. Observers are not really into UFOs and were just sitting outside chatting. One is a retired tattoo artist the other is a repossession specialist.

White dot on a clear blue sky hovering with the naked eye looked like a white dot/star but thru binoculars it was oval shape, the end towards the sun was bright but as you moved to the other side it was transparent or clear. I did not see any others objects in the sky at that point I was using my camcorder at the same time after the event and when the tape ran out I viewed the tape on my tv and could see the object which looked like a white dot I could also see multiple objects near and around object. When I first turn the camcorder towards the object I had a big glare in the view box I tried to shade it, but it didn’t work so I pointed it in the general area and I did get the object not knowing that I had it I moved the camcorder again think I had a better angle in which I didn’t, I was either above or below at this point but I still was catching other objects zipping around.

8am approximately I was in my backyard video taping as I was reading I looked up and there was a small white dot, I got my binoculars and looked, it was oval shape and the end towards the sun was bright but as you moved to the left it was transparent looking, I pointed my camcorder at it but had a glare on the view screen which I could not shade so I pointed the camcorder in the general direction after awhile I readjusted the camcorder thinking it was a better angle, after the object left I lowered the camcorder to almost a level view. After the tape ended I looked at the tape on tv at first I did have it on the camcorder and it looked like a white dot and there were other objects flying near and around it when I readjusted at one point I did lose the object but was in the same general area and caught more objects the main object was still there though I didn’t level the camcorder in till the object left.

Object was a white dot in a clear blue sky, when I looked at it thur binoculars it was oval shape and looked different then with the naked eye it was white on the edge towards the sun and the rest looked transparent, clear and oval in shape. I had my camcorder set up, but I had a bad glare so I pointed it in the general direction of the object, when reviewing the chip on the tv I could see the object and other objects zipping near and around the main object I could not see the other objects with the naked eyes or the binoculars. I didn’t see the object leave with the naked eye but I could see it was gone, while in the process of trying to film the object I moved the angle of camcorder which was on a tripod and at one point lost it but was still in the general area and still caught other objects, when I could no longer see the main object I reposition the camcorder at house level and let it run in till the tape had ended. There were no objects at that level only when it was positioned up at about 70-80 degrees up.

Lehigh Tunnel, PA
Penna Turnpike I-476 Lehigh Tunnel on the Carbon County side (we were traveling north). Oval shaped, appeared to have pink and white lights (5). When first seen, it was hovering, but then moved at a high rate of speed towards the North and then almost a 90 degree turn to the East. Stopped and hovered, could no longer see the pink lights. We saw it for about 90 seconds.

The only reason why I'm even saying anything now is because I read a report in the paper somebody seen the same exact thing that I seen it was oval and it the color of it was almost like the color of a potato it was huge and it was quiet and it was there one minute and the next it was gone I didn't see any light but it was just massive

Vancouver, WA
What at first appeared to be bright star suddenly popped up. It was oval shaped and had red and white and green fast moving lights, much much faster than a plane. It wobbled in a very strange way and sort of seemed to drunkenly stagger around in its movements and then moved slowly away in the opposite direction.

Huntington, WV
The object appeared Saturday night, August 3, 2019, at approximately 9:23PM (ET). I was sitting with my wife on my patio facing NW, close proximity to the Ohio River, when I saw a large bright circle heading south. My location is in a rural area surrounded by rolling hills and forest. I immediately pulled out my smart phone and started recording. I have the entire event on video with audio. Within only a few seconds the object was almost directly overhead, moving fast and it appeared to be glowing orange. The speed of the object appeared to be similar to a jetliner. Over the next 30-40 seconds, the object continued south and flickered briefly, then disappeared entirely. In this area, we see a lot of falling stars, satellites, and aircraft. This was unlike anything we've ever seen. More unusual was the object appeared to be guided rather than falling.

Wapiti, WY
The object was spotted and was not moving at all for a very long time, then is slowly started moving to the left and then went straight away as it appeared to be getting smaller until we couldn't see it any longer. It was oval and glowing white. It was in the daylight. We looked at it with a camera and zoomed in on it and also looked with binoculars. There was a dark center or design on the middle of the oval. I personally did not get any pictures, but others did and I do not know them. Some people that saw it were tourists, but most of the people there lived in the area. Location was outdoors at a local restaurant.

Fuquay Varina, NC
Rainy night. Saw a burnt orange light flickering through the tree in our back yard. Went outside and this light appeared to be moving very slowly above the city. Burnt orange almost red. It stopped then climbing upward disappeared into clouds. Did this three times.

Dexter, MI
I saw a bright and pulsing amber light above my garage. It caught my attention because it was too big to be a plane, and was brighter than summer Jupiter. I watched it pulse for a while when I noticed two smaller blinking red lights. It stayed hovering over my garage for a few minutes, then suddenly took off over my house and into the distance. When it flew over my house, it made a sound similar to a low-flying plane, but it was very much not a plane.

Ararat, VA
I saw a large dense cloud hovering in the sky after witnessing what looked like lightening inside the cloud! A huge house size football shaped object appeared out of the cloud. It had bright lights all around it. It hovered for a few seconds with no sound or motion. It was just sitting there. Then all of a sudden it went backwards at light speed and disapeared in thin air. It was like it was using the cloud as cover and the cloud moved unexpectedly leaving it exposed! I have never witnessed anything like this before in my whole life. It left me puzzled and very shaken!
