Carrick, PA
Saw a craft in the sky about 500 feet up. Red orange oscillating light moving slowly around 1/2 mph. Followed for about ten minutes then it was out of range and got dimmer. The craft was silent. It was bigger than a quadcopter drone. The craft was heading north along Brownsville road in Carrick, PA.

Appeared in the sky for about 10 seconds and then faded to disappear. I've seen these same orange lights, or fireballs, in this same location before but in a triangular shape.

Chicago, IL
On Sunday, April 12, about 6:00-6:30, a friend,my brother and I were in my back yard talking about work, my brother said.. Look pointing into the sky, which is still bright my friend and I looked to the southern sky I saw this thing with blue lights maybe three or four brightest blue lights i ever seen, i was hovering for a few seconds, then dropped with such speed. then it shot from the east to the west. never saw anything move that fast. Then it stopped on a dime, it stayed still for a momoment a flew south toward the south a disappeared. We had cell phones with cameras, but just the sight the three of us didnt even think about filming it. It made my friend who was a total skeptic a believer of things things. Now we are maybe 3 miles outside downtown Chicago... Someone other people had to see this. I E mailed. Mr. George Noory explaining what we saw. he said he hadn't heard anything yet.

Flagler Beach, FL
These objects were lights appearing as if they were flares dropped from aircraft. A string of lights appeared and slowly faded, but not in sequential order of appearance. When first seen they appeared in a line leading toward the Atlantic shore. They seemed to come from an aircraft. A sound similar to a jet aircraft was briefly heard, but not throughout the event. Lights appeared in a line approaching the coast, but none seen deployed over land. I have I-phone video. Lat 29°30'22.94" N Long 81° 7'8.17" W approximate location.

Collingswood, NJ
I and two others saw a series of red lights pass overhead, one by one. There had to have been 15-20 or more in succession, over about a 10-15 minute time span. They made no sound, which I pointed out to the other two witnesses, who confirmed that they made no sound. One of the other witnesses wondered aloud if they were some experimental craft on a test flight. They were coming from the horizon to the North/Northwest, and moving toward the South/Southwest. The strangest part was that each one started to dim as they approached the zenith. and faded until they disappeared entirely by about 10 degrees past zenith from our position. One witness took cell phone video of one of the lights. I could put you in touch with the person who took the video, if you contact me via email

Canterbury, NH
On April 11 at 2:17 am my girlfriend and I were driving to work on I-93 South in NH near the Canterbury Exit. We both saw an orange light traveling through the southwest sky from right to left diagonally towards the horizon. The light was dark orange in color and did not have a tail. It travelled for approximately 3 seconds and then disappeared. It travelled fast than a satellite but slower than a meteor and did not appear to fizzle out, it just disappeared.

Bauxite, AR
I was on my way home from a date around 1:30 Saturday morning. In Bauxite, I turned left at the light onto W Sardis Rd. As I was driving, I happened to look up and I saw this enormous amount of light in a near distance. I knew it wasn't a shooting star or a plain because I had never seen anything like it! This light was a pinkish purplish color and very bright. Nothing but light. The light seemed like it was falling from space down to Earth. For a second I thought it could have been a meteor or something like that, but then it just disappeared. It just disappeared instantly. I believe that it was a UFO sighting, and I will continue to believe this until there is some way to prove the enormous odd colored light heading for Earth's surface and then disappearing.

North Wilkesboro, NC
I was watching air traffic in the northern night sky. I was thinking it would be wonderful to see a ufo, and suddenly straight up in the sky I noticed a star-like light moving in a northern direction that i recognized could be a ufo or a satellite. At that moment I noticed lower on the northern horizon 3 red lights flying east to west. I could see the red lights clearly and nothing else. It was totally odd to see 3 red objects flying one right after the other anywhere in the night sky. The lights did not conform to aviation lights that I know of. They disappeared behind a tree line and were gone.

South Burlington, VT
At about 7:50 pm (19:50) on Firday April 10th me and my girlfriend were heading back from University Mall in south Burlington. We had just gotten on interstate I89 South via Exit 14-E, it was dark enough were everyone had their headlights on, but not quite enogh to see stars yet. The treeline was black but the ski was a deep blue. About 5 minutes after we merger to the interstate I saw a yellowish light low in the sky at to the left of me at about 10 o'clock. At first I thought it was Jupiter because it was so vividly bright compared to the rest of the sky, and it looked like the first start out. After looking at it for a second more, I realized it was too orangey yellowish and too bright, and almost seemed to be getting brighter. After about 30 seconds I can see its perspective changes making it seem like it is much closer than a star, and seems alsmost fixed in the sky over the ridge line maybe three miles away, andaune about 5,000 feet up. At this point I wake my girlfriend up in the passenger seat and say "babe what's that?". She looks at it for a second and says "A light on a tower like an airport?" but it was not blinking or flickering, was very yellow and Orange, not red like an airport. Also there was only one light and it was so bright there was a little halo of yellow in the clouds around it so you could see there was no tower below it, and there is no airport south of Burlington. After about abother minute of watching it, it is directly left of us, 9 o'clock, and it just sort of zooms away from us. It appeared to move due east at extreme speed. Seemingly no acceleraton period,'an disappearing over the horizon as quick as you could snap your fingers. I would guess less than 0.1 seconds. That was the last of anything strange I saw on my 2 hour drive south that night. I was watching the sky carefully cause I was so unsettled from what I saw. Me and my girlfriend are both 17 year old highs highschoolers who were in Burlington for the day. Neither of us drink, do drugs, smoke or take any medication. We both felt fine all day and when we saw it, other than my girlfriend just woke up. I have an intrest in UFOs because they raise compelling questions and involve ideas I am interested in, but I have no real knowledge other than a few things on the internet, and convorsations with my Physics and Chem teachers. The only thing I could think of that would be helpful would be that the light was the same exact color as old High Pressire Sodium street lamps. If you know or think of anything that could be helpful or interesting, please contact me.

Luminous objects passing high in the sky. They were changing position and flying at different speeds. He tried to record them, but it was so bright out that he could not see his video screen, so he just shot his camera in their direction and hoped for the best. Check on youtube under ufo sighting on Lake Tahoe 2015.

Calgary, AB · Canada
I went outside with the dogs 10:30 pm and stargazed. I was turned to the NE look up at an up-side-down Big Dipper. When the bright moving light came in from the spoon end of it. It was moving quickly and its was not a satellite or plane. I watched it move to the handle end of the dipper having enough time to evaluate my conclusion of what it might be. Then its was just gone. Just vanished right by the big bright star after the last point of the Big Dipper's handle---No falling like a shooting star no trail of dust. I wanted it to be a shooting star, to wish on. But it was very peaceful. I didnt feel scared thinking oh Aliens or anything. I would like to know what it was.

Le GEIPAN a finalisé l’étude de certains cas enquêtés qui étaient restés en attente de classification. Il publie aujourd’hui une conclusion avec les éléments disponibles à la fois du témoignage et d’enquête recueillis à l’époque. Le mercredi 08 avril 2015, vers 21h30, le témoin remarque dans le ciel une lumière "proche de celle d'une étoile/planète mais bien plus brillante (plus que Venus) avec des couleurs particulières (bleues, orangées..)". L'observation dure 01h30 et le PAN est filmé avec un iPad mini. Une lunette astronomique est également utilisée. Le témoin adresse son questionnaire le 10/04/2015 et sa vidéo au GEIPAN. Aucun autre témoignage sur ce phénomène n'a été recueilli. Les caractéristiques du PAN font penser fortement à une confusion astronomique. Plusieurs échanges évoquant cette hypothèse ont eu lieu entre le témoin et le GEIPAN mais le témoin réfute l’hypothèse. La dernière demande du GEIPAN visait à faire préciser au témoin la position du PAN dans le ciel par rapport à Jupiter et ses satellites que le témoin affirme avoir repéré à l’aide d’une lunette astronomique et se trouver « très proche ». Cette requête n’a pas eu de réponse de la part du témoin. Le témoin indique que le PAN se trouvait au sud-sud-est (200°) et à 60° d’élévation. Jupiter se trouvait, vu depuis Avignon (84) à 21h30 à l’azimut 177° et à une élévation de 64° (voir le document sur la situation astronomique). L’écart est donc de 23° en azimut et de 4° en élévation. L’iPad mini ayant servi à réaliser la vidéo possède un champ angulaire diagonal de 66,5°. Cet appareil ne pouvant zoomer, seul le PAN étant visible sur la vidéo et le ciel étant dégagé (des nuages ne pouvant donc masquer tout autre astre présent), il ne fait guère de doute que le témoin a filmé Jupiter, dont il n’a pas pu ou su rapprocher la présence et l’aspect de son observation à la lunette. La sensibilité médiocre du capteur de l’iPad empêche par ailleurs que les autres astres moins lumineux situés aux alentours puissent être restitués sur la vidéo. Le GEIPAN classe le cas en "B" : confusion probable avec Jupiter. [GEIPAN classification B — Jupiter]

Near my home a large star appears which usually use to change his place after few hours.. it appears before the night comes. It shines very much.... The original time and date provided by the witness is 0023 hrs. (local/India) on April 09, 2015. In order to be able to post the report on April 08th, we have had to amend the date temporarily. We will change it back to the correct date, at our next posting. PD

The object changed color, speed, direction every couple of seconds. I was watching the object in the gap in the cloud cover. I lost sight of the object in the clouds. It looked like a star at first, then I noticed it started to move and things. I only had my phone and tried to get a video but it didn't show up.

I sit into my car to start it up to warm it up for my way to work. As I am sitting there. I glance up to see the sky because of reports on the news that we might have rain that evening. Sky is crystal clear, not a cloud in the sky. 4:42 all of sudden I see what seems to be a shooting star. O big deal but then I notice a second object directly below it traveling at the same speed and in sync, when all of a sudden they both make a sharp turn and speed out and fade out into the distance. CRAZY!

I had gone out to watch Betelgeuse whose scintillations are lovely at this time of year when it is close to the horizon. My attention was drawn to a point of light, red in color and steady in brightness. It appeared in the area between Betelgeuse and Castor and Pollux. After a few moments, it was joined, one after another, by two identical points, the three forming a perfect triangle, two of which were separated by about the same distance as Castor and Pollux are from each other. The base of the triangle was on the top with the third light underneath, closer to the horizon. As I watched, the three became larger, but their configuration did not vary, still a triangle but a little more orange in color and much brighter, resembling an amber-colored street lamp, i.e., a sodium vapor light. I dismissed the sighting initially, thinking they must have been artificial in nature; however, their appearance was arresting, as they seemed to be moving toward me, growing! ever brighter in intensity. I was transfixed, having some considerable familiarity with nature sky object, yet these were out of place, and I had no explanation for them. I went out the following morning and confirmed that the area in which I saw the objects was open sky.

At 11:29 pm est, I noticed what appeared to be a bright star. After focusing on it while lying in bed I noticed it changer colors, mostly white and changed to red several times. Also, it was moving back and fourth also up and down but in no paticular pattern. It's moved angled up and down also side to side. Also the object is flickering. I used a compass and it is roughly 60 to 63 degrees NE. I am currently monitoring it now.

Shapes were not clearly visible but there was something other than the light that the light was attached to/part of that traveled in a West/ Northwesterly line. First impression was a plane too low and going to crash but there was no sound. Went quickly to window and saw only a lone helicopter in the eastern sky at a much higher altitude flying in a line that was slowly curving around our general vicinity.

South Attleboro, MA
Coming off the highway I saw 3 lights in a triangular formation, flying way too close together to be planes. After I went around the bend in the exit, I had to merge into traffic so had to take my eyes off for a few seconds, when I looked back up over a parking lot, one of the lights jumped way ahead, and the other two were side by side way behind, changing locations and configurations fast. I lost sight after going through a neighborhood and some trees, but decided to take another route home, which opened back up to a major road in the area. The two craft were flying low, still side by side, not making any noise. They looked like stars, I didn't see any blinking lights or shape to them. They were coming towards my car, I stopped, they flew over, they were going pretty slow towards the north. On my drive home I noticed in a convenience store parking lot 2 people out of their car, one pointing at the sky in the direction of where they were, and the other pers! on making a phone call, both with a look of shock on their faces.

My grandma had talked about a strange humming noise coming from the sky and when she walked outside, she was startled to see a very bright light in the sky unlike any other star because of its high intensity. She called my family tonight to tell us that the light was back and we were surprised to see a very bright blinking "star," followed by a vey loud machine like noise coming from that direction.

Fast moving light traveling north east. Suddenly off to right of the object in the sky there was bright blue flash. The original object continued traveling north east and disappeared. No sound was heard from either the object or the flash. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
