Laying in bed. I notice a large bright green light that suddenly appeared moving north, shining in the sky so bright green that it shined through my closed blinds. As it moved across the horizon I could see it glow through each individual window blind. A silent large solid bright green light slowly moving. I immediately ran downstairs to look out the window in the direction it was traveling. upon looking out the window I got a better view of it as it suddenly was moving in a south direction. It moved across the sky slowly and silent. It looked like a bright green rectangular shaped light. When it moved out my view I went to a window 2 seconds way and it was then completely gone. I went out side right after and saw nothing in the sky in either direction.

Rogers, MN
I was in bed watching tv and saw a light out of the corner of my eyes, moving past my bedroom window. I thought it was one of those things you light a candle and it floats away. I jumped out of bed to run to patio door in living room to go on to deck to watch it go by. As I got to door, I saw another one coming right behind it. They both moved at the same pace very slow. At that moment, I knew it was not what I thought it was. I moved into the dark as I did not want them to see me. At that same moment it was like the 2nd one told the first one to turn and they both turned and moved over the cornfield towards the grade school. I heard a plane above and looked up and then looked back and they were gone. They glowed yellow orange and did not make a sound. I was about 15 feet from them as they passed by. I am not sure of date as I really blew it off as luminaries (think that is what they are called). Until I saw quite a few being sent off on tv and these did not move like them. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Hello Mr. Davenport, thank you for getting back to me so soon. I know it was in 2015. Not sure if it was spring or fall. I just remember there was not any crops in the field behind my town home. It was warm out as I had some windows and patio door open. Now that I really realize what I saw, I am going through the same emotions again as I did that night. But now I am having a lot of anxiety. When they passed, I did not feel evil, it was like they where looking in the windows on the 2nd level. I tried to tell myself that they where what every those luminary things are with the candle that makes them float away. Until I saw them being set off on TV. They floated up, these objects moved steady across and changed direction. I told myself that they had to be tied together by a long string if they were luminaries. There was no sound at all. I hope this helps. I would like to know if any other sightings in my area and if possible to reach out to them. Thank you for your time. ((END ADDENDUM)) Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

This was not a plane. It looked like it had three rectangular sections. There was what looked like a rainbow colored circle near it.

Manchester, NH
As it got closer, I noticed the craft was actually quite low and was not a plane, jet or space station. There were no tail lights flashing and the typical red/green lights of a plane weren't there. There was no flashing white tail light either. The craft flew directly over us and it was a clear night so it was very clear and visible. I would say it was no higher than a few miles above us. It came through the regular flight path of the Manchester airport which was really odd seeing how slow it was going. We waited to hear sound from the engines and there was absolutely none! The craft headed towards! the northeast and about two minutes later, there was another craft, exactly the same and on the same flight path. As it got closer to the coast, the two caught up to each other and when they met, they stopped sat for a bit and then took off extremely fast together and we lost sight. Before bed, at about twelve, I looked outside from our balcony, and saw two more craft towards the Derry area flying much closer together and lost sight due to being in the house--no noise, same lights on these two craft. Definitely square, definitely quiet, no flashing avoidance lights just flashing red on the silhouette of the square crafts.

The objects were white and rectangular shaped and traveled from the south to the north at a very fast speed without making noise. The objects flew parallel to the horizon. After the first object disappeared the second one appeared in the same spot at the same trajectory. We saw them from the third floor of our apartment complex. The object appeared to be far away.

I took this photograph at a skatepark where my son was skating. I was photographing a significant approaching storm. It was 30 minutes later, at another location, when I noticed the strange object in the photo. I took the photo with an iPhone 6 which remained in my possession from the time I took the photo until it was viewed.

Le 9 septembre 2015 à 21h30 un témoin aperçoit durant 3 secondes, au-dessus du massif montagneux de Belledone, le déplacement d'une forme rectangulaire de couleur jaune pâle, marquée en son milieu par une bande noire. Aucun bruit n'est entendu lors du déplacement de cette forme sur une trajectoire en ligne droite descendante. Aucun changement de cap n'est remarqué. Un seul témoignage est recueilli. Le lieu d’observation du PAN est situé à 3km seulement d’un lieu extrêmement actif de vol libre (parapente). L’aspect décrit est compatible d’un parapente, qui aurait effectué un vol de nuit (la nuit aéronautique commence 30 minutes après l’heure locale de coucher du soleil). Le vol de nuit (parapente, deltaplane) est règlementé. L’appareil doit porter deux feux (un vert et un rouge). De plus un vol de nuit doit être déclaré à la préfecture et ne peut avoir lieu que trois jours avant ou après une pleine lune. Ce qui n’est pas le cas ici. Ce vol de nuit était illégal, ce qui explique son absence d’éclairage règlementaire. Le 7ème Régiment de Chasseurs Alpins (situé à Varces) indique qu’il n’y a pas eu d’exercices militaires cette nuit-là. Compte tenu des éléments, nous pouvons conclure que cette observation concerne probablement un vol de nuit de parapente civil non autorisé (voir le compte rendu d'enquête joint). Ce témoignage est d’une consistance moyenne (quelques écarts entre les données du questionnaire et celles recueillies sur place, témoignage unique) mais suffisante au regard de l’étrangeté pour classer le cas en B : méprise probable avec un parapente. [GEIPAN classification B — parapente]

Driving to work at 6 AM, heading North on route 24 towards Brockton, MA, saw orange/pink wide streak in sky. It looked like it was northeast and possibly over or near Atlantic Ocean. It was slowly working its way downward. I watched it until I could no longer see it behind the trees. I don't think it was a craft. It looked fiery, but perfectly formed in a wide line that was rectangular. It had beautiful colors.

I at first thought it was a plane but then I notice it had a beam of lights shooting outwardly, I had a ((word deleted)) reaction, I tried to get my phone but I was coming off the exit so I turned around by the time I got back which took maybe 30 seconds it was gone.. I heard a rustling sound but saw nothing above the tree line.

Florence, AZ
I was driving back from a D/O in Florence AZ, heading toward Queen Creek for a P/U to Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix. I was alone in the company van, windows open, music playing and watching the fields in my peripherals while singing & driving. I saw something black, large, rectangular & glassy coming from the South farm fields. I turned the music off, slowed down & watched it cross over the road to the fields in the North. It did not reflect the headlights, even with brights on. It blocked the lights of Queen Creek. Once the object left the light from the headlights, it flew higher and went East behind me. I was still driving & decided to keep this to myself because of the stigma attached. This was very close to the NG site near Florence.

Sandwich, MA
It was August 26th at around 11:45 PM and my two friends and I were stargazing on the beach in Sandwich Massachusetts. It was a very quiet night with little wind and quiet waves. As I was staring up at the sky, the stars were suddenly blocked out by a slow moving black rectangle that appeared to be only about 15-20 feet above our heads. The rectangle was only about 3-feet in length, was completely black and had a small red light in the front of it. The most terrifying aspect of it was that it was completely silent. ABSOLUTELY NO noise came from it and the only reason we saw it was because we happened to be looking at the stars when it crossed right over our heads. Immediately after yelling at my friends to look up at it, we chased it for about a hundred yards and as it picked up significant speed. The way that it moved was incredible. It didn't seem aerodynamic in anyway but moved very quickly and silently and it had no fans or wings. It was simply a small, black, rectangular prism. We chased it until it suddenly turned and it crashed into the ocean about 40 yards out. The way it crashed into the water seemed almost intentional. The object moved too well and seemed too in control for it to accidentally land it in the water. The lights we had with us were too weak to see it, but we presume that it sank when we could no longer see it floating on the surface. Shortly after this incident, roughly 15 Coast Guard boats began to move back and forth very close to the shore as if they were looking for it. The next day we searched the water but with no luck, and we think the object was either found by the Coast Guard or was pulled out with the tide. I’m not a believer in aliens, but this was nothing like anything I had ever seen before. My best guess is that it was a spy/surveillance drone, but with some sort of cutting edge technology that allows it to fly without wings or motors. Whether its aliens or some government test, I don't feel safe knowing that things this stealthy and advanced exist among us. Source of report indicates that the date is approximate. PD

Anchorage, AK
When I was trying to Google stuff about UFO's, which was weird for me anyway, I found another documented sighting on the list from Knoxville, TN, on 8/15/15 which was identical in every way to what I saw. No difference. At first I looked for an aircraft pulling a sign, but realized that it was definitely something, rectangular/louvred and moving slowly under its own power. I have seen some strange things over JBER, so I tried to forget it. It was SO CLEAR and interesting. I tried just to forget it. ((ADDENDUM FROM SOURCE)) Addendum: the person that saw exactly what I saw reported on 08/10/15, not 08/15/15. It is also interesting that we both live only miles from a large military/Air Force installation. ((END ADDENDUM))

I and my friend went out to see stars, especially the constellation of Perseus. As soon as I looked to the constellation on the same direction (East), I immediately saw a rectangular very black ship (UFO) with 5 red and yellow light below the craft (I have maked a very exact drawing of the UFO) which was crossing the sky at about 150 meters in altitude (or perhaps more) and with relatively slow speed (not fast) coming from east to west direction. Immediately I show the object to my friend, but he couldn’t see it at first (he finally saw the object after 15 seconds) because the sky was black, and the object also (even more black than the sky). I said to my friend to make signal with a small torch he had, and in the same time I make some signs toward the object with my arms (hands). Suddenly (and I’m at 100% sure of what I see, even if my friend said that he was not sure about this part of the story. I have to say that he has not a very good eyesight) the red light which was in the middle of the object, start to move (I had the feeling that it was a big eye absolutely alive, and watching me, scanning me) become bigger (came little bit out of its orbit) with kind of a jerky movement, at left or right!! I confess that at that moment I got a little afraid! The thing is that all that night, we had both the absolute feeling of being watched or telepathically connected to someone or something invisibles (very positive feeling).

Brantingham, NY
Summary: At 9:30 PM Eastern, 8/12/2015, several adults & children observed rectangular shaped objects glowing orange in color moving along a straight flight path from N/NW to S/SE direction. Location was eastern shore of Brantingham Lake, town of Greig, Lewis county, New York State, approximate Latitude of 43.7 & Longitude of 75.28. Similar objects were observed the following 2 nights at approximately the same time along the same flight path. Each night was calm, no precipitation, temperature in the 60s. Several IPhone photos and videos were taken. Details: At approximately 9:18 PM Eastern on 8/12/2015, we observed first object overhead, directly above, traveling at constant rate of speed. Was observed for approximately one minute until out of view out of view to the S/SE. See photograph 1 at 9:18 PM taken from an I Phone 6. 5 minutes latter a second object, same size & color moving along the same flight path and at the same speed was observed in the N/NW sky that went overhead and then out of sight a minute later to the S/SE. See Photograph 2 at 9:23 PM from an IPhone 6. Also a number of videos were made of the first 2 objects . Then approx. 4 minutes later a third object was observed identical to the first two but smaller in size. No sounds were made. There were no other observable aircraft or objects in the sky. Observed by 5 adults and several children. At approximately 9:17 PM Eastern on 8/13/2015, the first object was observed in the S/SE sky traveling in the OPPOSITE direction but along the approximately SAME flight path as the objects observed on 8/12/2015. See Video at 9:17 PM 8/13/2015. See Photographs at 9:18. A second object was observed at 9:24 PM. See photographs at 9:24 and video at 9:25 PM. This second object was larger than any of the previously observed objects but all other facets are the same (color,speed, shape). See Photographs at 9:25. A third object (the same size as the first object that night and all the same characteristics as the first object) was observed at 9:37 PM. At approximately 9 PM, the first of 3 objects was observed moving along a flight path somewhat close to the previous 2 nights but in the SAME direction as the first night (8/12/2015) N/NW to S/SE. See video from 8/14/2015. A photograph with a traditional shutter camera was taken of the 2nd object observed. The shape appears to be a glowing rectangle however the detailed zoomed photo shows differently: an orange ‘line’ in the shape of a backwards S. Again, no sounds observed. There were no objects observed on 8/15/2015. We left the camp Sunday 8/216/2015. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD
