Belgrade, MT
I want to start by saying that we have witnessed three unidentified objects in the sky in the last two years. This morning, we witnessed our fourth, and it seems that there are similar sightings in the tri-state areas in 2015. I also would like to add that I still witness a very bright flash above me in the night sky on a more than regular basis, and whatever it is seems to be very interested in either: SW Montana, or my family and I. (Report Follows) This morning, at 3:45, my wife and I had gone outside to let our dog, and while sitting on our back patio waiting for the pup to do his business (un-obstucted view south over the Bridgers to Livingston) We were admiring some very large, irregular, puffy, smoke like clouds that seemed to be thin enough to let the moon shine right through them; very odd looking indeed. I happened to be facing South East and looking up at the sky and had a clear view of the stars to the North, South and East with the strange clouds pushing in from the West. I am always searching for satellite movement and was focusing my line of vision on a random group of stars in order to catch anything moving, when suddenly a large, very bright, solid white ball of light literally appeared out of thin air, maintaining a constant speed for what seemed to be only a few seconds and then disappeared into thin air again. It appeared so abruptly that that I could only say "wtf, was that" as an instant reaction to what I saw, leaving me mumbling in confusion and my wife looking at me like I was a stranger to her. As fast as I could explain what I saw and point it appeared again in the same manner as before, only it was further south than before. Again my wife wasnt paying attention again leaving me speechless and looking like a crazy person. When it appeared the third and final time we both saw it enter in a way that makes me think of the word, "Poof," and then it disappeared "Poof". The object seemed very large. It looked as though it was the same distance as the moon or closer even. Very bright, white light that didn't flash, strobe, but remained the same color and brightness each time. Came into view in a way that was not natural, jumping into our dimension and jumping out. Like I said after my last report, I feel that something big is happening and we all need to pay attention.

Sumner, WA
Friday evening, May 2, 2015, about 10 pm, checked night sky out my slider door and nothing caught my eye. I thought to myself that it has been a long time since something happened that was definitely unusual, almost no doubting that the sighting is 'different'. There were not many stars out and the sky was cloudy. Saturday evening, May 3, 2015, I was in my room watching TV and decided to warm up my left over pizza. I was heating my pizza and checked the sky out the slider door and immediately seen a single blue light, flying about the altitude that a small plane would fly but it was emitting a blue beam angled downward. It wasn’t very far from my apt. and coming my way. I grabbed the binoculars but this confused the situation as I think the kids dropped it recently because I seem to get two of things now. So, now it looked like two blue lights as if one were on each end of a wing. Set binoculars down and was going to dart to the bedroom and get the camera but didn’t because it would probably be gone by the time I got back. Grabbed the binoculars again and now it was one red light flashing but the beam was still there. It was coming towards me so the front of the craft would be facing me and the beam shone out from its left side. The beam was the same circumference from beginning to end and it ended or was not visible about half way to the ground. It didn’t sway/search but was one steady beam as if it were fixed. I tried to follow the beam with the binoculars but it would be invisible half way out from where it originated. I only seen this for about 2 minutes and then it was nearly over the apt and out of sight. I could not make out any shape of whatever was emitting the beam. I was in the apt and could not hear a plane or helicopter sound. This immediately reminded me of a similar sighting like this last year. However, I spotted the object for a longer period however the beam was exactly the same. It was flying basically over residential neighborhoods but there is a large field in between some housing filled with sheep and livestock. I wondered last year if it was scoping out the livestock as well. There was a beautiful full moon out which made the sky very light/bright for midnight. There were not many clouds but since the sky was so light, it was hard to see many stars.

Chino Valley, AZ
Driving from camp Verdie, Arizona, a bright light appeared in the sky in front of our car heading south. It remained very bright and stationary for approximately 30 min. It then dimmed and went completely out. A few seconds later, it came back on in full brilliance. Over the following 40 minutes it dimmed and went out only to come back on a total of 3 more times. Every time it was significantly farther away than before. We watched it for over an hour. It never blinked no sounds and no other lights we seen on the craft at all. I used Google skymap to reference known objects in the sky and there is nothing in its location that can be seen without a telescope or as anything more than a small star. Also the craft did not twinkle it was a bright stationary light.

Fredericksburg, VA
I was laying in bed with the window open. My bed faces the window. Suddenly I see what appears to be a blue green light streaking accross the sky, that I took to be a meteor at first, but it didn't have that tell tale fireball stream following it. I have absolutely no idea why I jumped up out of my bed, or what made me decide to get up. Perhaps it was the fact that it had absolutely no sound or that it was too strong of a light that seemed too uniform. I jumped out of bed and I rush to the window, and right above forested area about 2 miles away from my apt the light just stopped and hovered there for a second, and then it just quickly reversed course and just turned bright red and stopped again. It was far too fast for anything I've seen man made. Then it turned blue and sort of dipped and dropped straight down. It wasnt falling at all. It looked like it was propelled falling with intentional force and sped quickly behind some trees. I stood there stunned. Then I ran quickly to my phone and turned on my camera. Through the trees I saw it moving but the trees were blocking my view so my phone wasn't picking it up. Suddenly the thing shot up into the sky so high and turned green again. It hovered there, turned blue, and shot back the way it came. Then it stopped, turned red and fell out of the sky again and stayed down for 3 min shot back up turned blue and shot accross the sky again, stopped and started pulsing. I believe I got it on camera when it got really close. For a moment, it stopped and went around in a circle right in front of my apt before shooting straight up again.

While we were walking to the car we stop in the middle of the parking talking about snow station (the ice cream parlor) they had their backs towards the parking lot, I was facing the parking lot. My friends were having their own conversation so I dozed off, I looked up into the sky and I saw this bright dot of light in the sky, I assumed it was a star, but then the light dashed across the sky and disappeared. Later on, I started think about the strange light I kept trying to make my self believe it was a star but I live in the city I rarely see stars in the sky, and if it was a shooting star it would burn out but it didn't. It just whe straight and disappeared. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

My husband and I were outside talking, and all of the sudden we see this bright like fireball fall from the sky, and it looked like it was heading for the back yard. It made no sound at all.it lasted about four seconds then it was gone. No trail mark was left behind either.

Deep Cove (North Vancouver)(Canada), BC · Canada
My girlfriend and I were sitting on the ocean shore in Deep Cove (North Vancouver), B.C., facing 60 degrees NE and looking up at the stars/planets and identifying some of them with an iphone app that I have on my phone. The sky was clear and there was a very bright, almost full moon to the east of us. At aprox. 21:55, I was gazing out across the water when my girlfriend exclaimed "What is that!!??" She was pointing up to the sky almost directly overhead. I saw nothing and asked her where and what she was talking about. She again exclaimed "There!!!" and was pointing towards the handle of the Big Dipper. I still saw nothing... then a few seconds later I saw a bright pulse of light in the sky...it was the size of a star...but much brighter than any star in the sky. The pulse/flash lasted maybe half a second. A few seconds later it flashed again, but had moved further NORTH in the sky....holding my hand out at arms length I would comfortably estimate the distance between "flashes" to be 2 inches in the sky. I thought that perhaps it was space junk or the space station glinting sunlight but then a few seconds later it pulsed again but now it had moved 2 inches to the EAST. It was very high up in the sky...from our vantage point, if it had stay! ed illuminated, one would have thought it was just another star in the night sky. It was not a plane or drone or anything of that nature. A few seconds later it flashed again but now it had moved 2 inches SOUTH of it's previous position. A few moments after that, it flashed again but now it was 2 inches WEST of it's previous position. Essentially it had done a circle.... then the weirdest thing happenened... From it's last position there was a streak or line of light in a northward direction from it's last position. I have seen many meteors and this was not that! As a meteor moves across the sky, it's tail moves with it... this was different... the light traveled about an inch or inch and a half across the night sky (with hand held at arm's length)but the starting point to finish point stayed illuminated in the sky for a brief second.... like a "line of light" in the sky. A few seconcs afterwards there was another pulse/flash of light aprox 2 inches to the NORTHEAST of where the "line of light" had ended. The whole experience took place over a 2-3 minute period. We watched the sky for about 10 min longer but there was no more activity. My girlfriend said that the first time she noticed it (before I did), it had made a "line of light" in the sky but that it seemed so unnatural she didn't believe that she had actually seen that... then she saw the pulse/flash in different spots across the sky a few times before I picked up on it. I can't emphasize enough how srange and bizarre the "line of light" was. I don't know how that could be replicated... You could physically see the bright object moving, but its start point remained illuminated in a line all the way to the finish point..then it all disappeared at the same time before the final flash to the northeast.

Holiday, FL
We were all sitting out there noticing a bright light in between two stars... the light seemed to shift back and forth and seem to get brighter and dimmer, it stayed in the sky for about an hour in the same spot. We looked away and looked back up and it instantly was gone. Also would like to mention looking through the report database, there is something coinciding with the month of July. Seems to be when the most sightings are reported

Green light thought to be plane traveled across the sky in half a second. Then back across the sky in the direction it came from. Hovered for about 3 seconds, dropped. Shot back up hovered. The green light turned red then green again hovered then dropped and disappeared

Pawtucket, RI
The light had a constant speed same as an airplane, but as far away as I had usually seen. It was like a meteorite, although it took long to desappear. From where I stood I could see the moon, it was 2 second after when I saw the small dot of light away from south to north when I saw it moving at a constant speed similar to an air plane, but stremely far away. You would have to focus very well to even notice there is something moving. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Wellington, CO
At around dusk on Wed 29 April, I was driving south from Wellington, Colorado, on County Road 13, along the Larimer/Weld County Line. Just North of County Road 96 I see a silent bright white light in the Southern sky. I then stopped my vehicle along the side of the road. As I’m stopped along the side of the road, I notice the bright white light moving north towards my vehicle then back South, alternating its movement closer and farther away from my position in a continuous North and South direction. After about one minute (at around 20:44 MST), I flash my headlights on and off about 10 times. The light then started moving straight towards me at a seemingly average aircraft speed of about 100 miles per hour. As the silent object gets about one quarter mile away from me and about 350 feet up in the air, I then decided to try and capture video footage with my phone. After about 2 seconds into the video recording, my phone and vehicle shut down simultaneously. The silent object then flies directly over me. When the bright white light proceeds north and is approximately one quarter mile away from my position, my cell phone powered itself back on without me pressing the power button. I then was able to start my vehicle without any issues, and proceed east along County Road 96 losing sight of the bright white light.

ShangQiu (China) · China
Hi, I am a South African foreign teacher working in ShangQiu City, Henan Province in China. I am 53 years old and have a University degree. I have been skeptical of UFO sightings generally, but these objects I saw didn't look or behave like anything I have seen or heard of before. I was returning to my apartment on the evening of 29 April, 2015, when I noticed 6 separate colored lights in the sky to the south of where I was in East-central ShangQiu City. The lights kept changing in color in no discernible sequence. Each separate light flickering along a short horizontal axis approximately 1 or 2 mm. The colors of the lights were varied through the spectrum and they were rich strong colors, much like neon lights or the LEDs used nowadays for signage. They were most often red followed by violet and green with the least common colors being yellow, orange and white. The objects were clustered in two groups. The first was a group of two that appeared highest in the sky about 45 degrees above the horizon. They were about a fist's distance apart horizontally. The second group was lower down at about 25 degrees above the horizon, just above and to the right of a tall building. They were clustered in a trapezoid shape with long axis being horizontal, about 15cm long and the vertical axis about half of that. The lower left light/object seemed to be larger than any of the others as its lights clearly flickered along a horizontal axis of about 2mm. After about 15 minutes the left member of the first group began to move slowly and steadily following an arc that took it south-west through the second cluster passing between the leftmost light and the lower left light (previously described as the largest). It then headed south at the same rate and disappeared below the horizon after about 35 seconds. The lights then remained in place for about another ten minutes. At that point the leftmost light of the trapezoid cluster departed, also heading south over the horizon at about the same rate as the previous light taking about 20 seconds to disappear. What followed was interesting. The remaining light(rightmost) of the group of 2, then began to move rapidly from side to side(horizontally) a distance of perhaps 3-4cm taking about a second to cover that distance each way. It kept this up for about 5 minutes. After it stopped nothing happened for a few minutes then the largest object began to follow the southward heading at the same rate as the others and disappeared over the horizon. It was followed shortly afterwards by the top right-hand member of the trapezoid cluster. I waited for another five or so minutes then went inside as I was hungry and didn't want to eat too late, leaving the remaining two objects in the sky. I attempted to photograph the lights but the air was too hazy with a lot of ambient light from the city and the near full moon, so nothing much is discernible in the 3 or 4 pics I took with my cellphone. What intrigued me about these lights is that their behavior was unlike anything one would expect of aircraft in terms of the lights displayed, their ability to remain in position steadily for such a length of time as well as the behavior of the light that moved side to side. I can't think of anything that might behave in this fashion. Today (6/5/2015) I saw a news article with video in the Huffington Post about a sighting in San Diego http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/05/05/san-diego-unexplained-aerial-lights_n_7193002.html and the lights there were very much like what I saw except they were definitely seperate. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Barry (Vale of Glamorgan)(UK/Wales) · United Kingdom
They where all triangle shape, when they were close anoth i seen blue, red, white, and green lights rotating around. they all seem to land in the woods in England and Wales through the bristol channel, from my front window i can see everything on both sides England and Wales. It looks as if more and more are coming down each night and they are getting bigger by the day, what im saying is keep a eye out.

Monroe, MI
I have seen UFOS over lake erie my whole life, some times multiple times. I walk to work on North Monroe St every night. The skys were strange last night and i felt as if i was being watched. I was in the army for 8 years and never miss a beat. Over my appartment house and walking on the street to work i saw a light moving in fast then i turned and it moved in near and slowed a bit but still very fast, then zipped of into the night sky. I also garantee if anyone goes over lake erie in July and aug from 9-12 midnight I garantee you will see UFOs. It happens every year.

Mountain Home, ID
Went outside for a smoke break. Looking at the moon and noticed a small light moving quickly going NW. The light curved north and changed directions going west when it started becoming smaller or higher into the sky. From there the light started fading until we couldn't see it any longer. The light made no sound as it traveled across the sky and it wasn't an Air Force jet because they are never silent.

McKenzie, TN
While getting my new store ready, we were working late trying to get some shelving installed. My wife took a break because we had a small argument over something silly. She went outside to use her vaporizer. She yelled for me to, "Come quick, run!" When I got outside, she showed me two red lights in the sky. They were flying by quickly and at low speed. She managed to get a small video of them with her phone. As they passed by and went over the tree line, in the same trajectory, another light would appear on the opposite side of horizon. flying the same path as the previous light. No sound, looking just like a flare except it just kept flying right over our heads. I don't know what I saw, it really doesn't make any sense. The video my wife made looks horrible with all the zooming in and out. She was trying to get background in the shot so people could reference altitude. Then they just stopped appearing. Like I said, just weird.

A green Light appears in the sky for 4-5 mins. it was freely moving like there is no impact of gravity on it. it was just 300-400 meters above. There was no any kind of sound, which means it was not an aeroplane or helicopter. There was no wind that time. It was moving in huge circle, 2 rounds may be of 300 mtrs. The light was glowing continuously. Sometime the light was very bright. It was moving up and down and was not a balloon. I and my wife watch it.

Thompson Ridge, NY
Driving south down route 302 out of Pine Bush, NY, passing by Thompson Ridge, NY, 5:30am this morning just before dawn, saw hovering just above treetops 5 or 6 dim white lights closely spaced and tilted at a slight angle to the ground. No flashing FAA lights. Hovering over an uninhabited large swampy area just south of Thompson Ridge. One large craft or 5-6 small ones? Was in sight for 2-3 seconds, pulled out my phone to take video as I was driving, my view was obscured for a split second by a couple of trees, and when I next looked the lights had vanished.

Every night I go outside to smoke around 10pm. Facing north when I go out my door I see orange lights that move unlike any man made craft. They do not start moving till I focused on them. Then they go like a bat out of hell. I have seen them a half dozen times in the last few months this is my first time reporting them ..

I was traveleling north bound on I-79 towards Fairmont, WV, from Bridgeport, WV. I observed a bright light hanging low in the sky while driving, it seemed to be low below the clouds. The sky was dark and full of dark storm clouds and I could not see any visible stars. I had my fiance pull over so i could snap a few shot of this light. I watched till I got to Fairmnt. By then it was out of sight. The pictures im sending is from a LG-g3 cell phone. I have it zoomed in all the way in the pictures

Londrina (Brazil) · Brazil
(portuguese Brazil): Fui dormir e se tivesse olhado para a janela 5 segundos depois não teria enxergado o ovni . Este não era igual aos que tenho assistido no youtube , ele tinha uma luz vermelha acesa no centro na qual ficava acesa sem piscar. Ao redor dessa luz vermelha haviam outras luzes brancas ou de tom amarelado que tinham o formato curvado como de fossem a letra "U" , ou também se parecia com um boomerang voltado para o lado de fora. Existiam umas 6 luzes nesse formato ao redor da luz vermelha onde as luzes piscavam de forma analógica (como se aumentasse o volume de audio até o máximo e depois abaixasse até o mínimo). Nunca vi algo parecido , será que poderia ser um satélite ? voava lentamente e muito alto mesmo.
