UFO Sighting Two objects that emitted an orange light flew at a low altitude from North to south past out home. The first object moved across our line of vision and was followed by a second identical object. The orange light on the first object flickered and went out before it left our line of vision. The second object was visible before the first orange light went out. The second object followed the same flight path as the first and flickered and went out at the same spot. About 30 seconds after the second orange light went out a third orange light appeared following the same flight path and traveled about the same speed. The third object traveled across our line of vision and its orange light extinguished about the same spot as the other two. Many aircraft over fly our area at night and they have flashing lights, none of which are orange or as bright as the objects we are reporting. The speed of the lights and the brightness of the lights were not the same as the aircraft lights we are used to seeing.

There is a large starlike object currently West of my location. It has reappeared 3 times in last 3 weeks, and it is verified that it is not a star. It is the brightest thing in the sky, unmoving. Planes can be seen flying near it, and for comparison i would say 20 X larger than the jet liners at least. There is no star in that side of the sky that is even 1/10 as bright. Can anyone check this out with some tech? Sirius?? PD

Surprise, AZ
Very large light over north end of white tanks. Stayed in same spot even while I drove from downtown Phoenix to west end of surprise. Light was visually hovering and could be seen waving back and forth. Had 2 smaller lights on the under side that were seen sporadically. Another similar one was seen over sun city west at exact time and disappeared with no trace. 7 Air Force planes were seen flying in direction of the one over the mountains and it disappeared once they were in range. Usually only 2 AF planes fly at a time out here and to have 7 at once proves something was not right.

I am a night photographer, and on this particular night was taking long exposure photographs at the beach on the shore of Lake Superior with a friend. We noticed a very bright light hanging motionless and low in the sky over the woods way down the beach, about a mile or two away. I figured it to be a planet, and continued with my shot. When I looked at my exposures on the computer later that night, I noticed that the object had registered a circular, ostensibly autonomous light trail (instead of a clearly defined line that a planet would make as the earth rotates). That is, it moved (or the camera moved) during what amounted to a 4 minute exposure. I am fairly confident that the camera did NOT move, as it was firmly planted into the sand and the shutter controlled with a remote release. Also, there were lights from a few small cabins on the other end of the shore directly below the unidentified object which registered clean and with no evidence of camera shake or movement. When I examined other images of the same scene, the light appears registering different motion but is extremely bright, bright enough to emit a "starburst" effect around the object during the long exposure.

Truckee, CA
Alerted by civilians to lights in the sky. Walked out with three partners and looked to north sky. Saw 6-7 lights moving In a a group. Lights would change direction rapidly and move laterally any direction. One light sped up very rapidly and appeared to taunt the other light. It would rotate around the other light in a movement best described as a pendulum movement. Those lights then rapidly separated and moved toward one of the other lights and immediately formed a perfectly sided triangle which held in place for a few minutes. Two of the other In the group continued east of the triangle and then all lights moved together spread out but in a group moving to the north until they went behind a large mountain range. Just prior to loosing sight of the group what could be called a rogue light came along into our view traveling north east and then instantly change direction to move due north as if to catch the larger group. The movements were not terrestrial in any way shape or form. No sounds no blinking lights just a constant white light.

Tucson, AZ
I was walking north on Tomahawk Trail between Moccasin Place and Ft. Lowell Rd., when I saw a blinding football-shaped light (that would be about the size of a 2-car garage were one up in the air) in the sky not more than three miles in front of me and roughly 1-2 miles in front (south) of the Catalina Mountains. It was flying below the altitude of the mountain top and moving very slowly from west to east. It then appeared to dissolve—just disappeared and then reappeared after about 3-5 seconds, again disappeared, reappeared after about 15 seconds (still very slowly moving west to east) then disappeared for good. The sky was perfectly clear and the sun shining brightly. Winds are VERY high here today and were averaging 22-26 mph at the time with gusts I’d estimate to be in in the 50 mph range. No plane I know of could fly that steadily and slowly in the winds blowing as I saw this. The light was way too large to be a balloon. Unfortunately, I forgot my phone and could not photograph it, but want to report it in case some one else saw it, too.

Cherry Hill, NJ
On 3/15/15, at 1:30am, Over Cherry Hill, NJ, I walked outside my front door, like I usually do on clear nights. I looked up at the stars. When I looked up I noticed what looked like the stars were moving. They were very bright, brighter than anything else in the sky. There were 7 lights in a line. As they passed over at a very high rate of speed, and I know they were moving fast because when I watched planes fly over that are very high up and look very small, they move what looks like so slow across the sky. These lights were going 20x's faster. They made absolutely no sound. This was Early in the morning, no cars were outside and you could hear a pin drop. The lights started crossing each others paths, then 3 split off and started moving west while the others went north west but just as they went out of site the three came back. It was very fast, I would say about 45seconds and they were gone.

A cluster of 3 orange lights moving west to east. Over Towne Lake Pkwy. Very slow and fairly low in sky, a 4th light was playing catch up to the group. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Nacogdoches, TX
My neighbors from 2 separate houses, my children, partner and myself watched as just over the trees 3 sets of lights came through. One flew ahead of the other two. One back tracked the other one just froze in the air. Then they all carried in as another set of 2 came around, then another, again and again till 1 had passed by. They would eventually wrap around together til they were in a group and then vanish individually. It was really interesting. We called the sheriff's department but they insisted there were no scheduled flights near by at all which again makes us even more curious.

Coleman, TX
Me and my girlfriend saw a bright light in the sky. We thought it was just a really bright star, but then it began to move kind of erratically! The light was white but almost like you could see more than one light on the object of interest and almost like you could see it turning… it would hover for a min or so and then move again.. still seeing this and it is now 1:08am! Wish I had my telescope to see if I could see more or learn more about it!

Looking up at the stars as I often do at night, I saw a bright white light I thought was a star over the horizon. Until it started to move in a clockwise motion from about 11:00 to the 2:00 position. I thought it was a satellite as it was too high to be a plane when it just stopped at the 2:00 position. It stayed there for about 3 or 4 minutes when it shot out of the sky so fast, it streaked and was gone in less than 3 seconds.

Today, 3/15 at 6:14AM, I saw the same white light for about 3 minutes - I went to get my camera and when I got back to my window, it changed to red, and shot up into the universe, with a smoke trail following behind.

Phoenix, AZ
I was having a dream ,that I was asking a guy if I could see his weird video, which he thought he saw a UFO and aliens , while I was watching I heard these two beeps, I woke up and looked up where I was facing and saw two black invisible- to light objects on the ceiling and they were slowly moving when I took my cell phone light away, I prayed to God to send me angels and then rebuked them, I felt strangely calm and then heard these two beeps, I immediately got up and took a walk threw of the house, as I looked outside in the back yard, I saw a light flashing on a house about 3 houses down, I went outside to get my hand gun which I left in my cousins car, and was awestruck at the fact that all the lights outside of peoples houses, like the backyard motion lights that I could see over 6 ft walls and peoples garage motion lights on, they were all really blurry to me and I had to wait a minute or so to get adjusted., I unlocked my cousins car grabbed my hand g! un, then unlocked my truck to grab my USB charger cord to plug into my wall charger inside, I walked inside and my cousin who sleeps in the room adjacent to me which has no door because it was an office bunk room asked me if I heard his alarm go off, which is a tune of a r/b song, I said no, but I had a weird ass dream and woke up to beeping sounds that sounded like probes and a flash outside. After a while I was key word googling my experience, I then heard a series of 8 probing beeps, I ran outside with my gun in the backyard where it sound like it was, and saw nothing, but then heard what thought was an owl. That's when I new I had to report it.

For the past few weeks I have been seeing what seems to be a star but it is much brighter. As I watch it will move from side to side and up and down randomly. It also randomly dims and sparks back to life. Definitely out of this world. Sighting of "twinkling" star?? PD

A very big, bright light passed me and other cars on rd 168th going west at 6:08 am. It was it traveling very very fast and big in size, but traveling at a horizontal. Then a object that had a green light on the right of object and a white light in the middle and red. It hovering over 168th and Colorado Blvd., I drove under as it was going over me. The shape was not normal shape .

Streamwood, IL
At about 11:30pm on 03/11/2015 I heard a high pitched noise above my house. A noise I've never heard before. So I looked in the way I heard it was going and I saw a bright light in the sky. It's a clear night tonight and I've never seen a light that bright or stay in that spot before. My current position is 42°1'25"N, 88°12'2"W. It's in my vision of anywhere from 220° SW-230° SW. As I'm writing this it is now 12:13am 03/12/2015 and the light object seems to slowly move more west. Thank you for your time. Possible sighting of a celestial body? PD

Augusta, ME
I was on my front porch looking up at the stars like every night looking up. I thought I saw a satelliteit. It was moving like one. Me and my wife are interested in looking at the stars. so I open the door real quick and had my wife come out and look at it. I pointed at what I thought was a satellite and it suddenly started to fade out from a white light to a dim blue light and disappear. I want to remind you the skies are completely clear no cloud cover.

Greenwood Village, CO
I was on my morning commute, heading north on I-25 to the Denver Tech Center, when I saw a low-flying white ball of light cross Interstate 25 around 6 a.m. As it passed directly in front of my field of vision flying east to west, it appeared to be trailing a tail, making it resemble a comet or meteor right out of a sci-fi disaster movie. It flew at a rate faster than a helicopter toward the west before disappearing. Meteor?? Please see other report of apparently the same event. PD

Turlock, CA
Tonight about 9:30 pm 3/9/15 , I stepped out on back patio to smoke and, as usual, I look around the stars. Over in the south west direction, I see a moderate flash of light that went out, followed by pause, then a dim light moving a short distance and going out, then a pause, then another dim light moving in opposite direction and going out, then pause, then another light heading away then going out..... all of this taking place within 1 minute and the area no larger then your fist held out ( obviously many miles away, est. 40 miles from my location ). I have been seeing this same activity periodically for the last 2 years in the same area and decided to relay this to you because recently I read another persons account of exactly the same type of phenomena which he couldn't explain. Up until I read his account I simply wrote it all off as distant airlines or satellites criss crossing each others path in a short time, or even meteorites. I decided tonight to check Google Earth and draw a path from my location to the direction of seen light activity and noted there was an Observatory about 12 miles north west ( also several small airports SW) of the light phenomena ( Diablo Mountain Range ). I have no clue what this light activity is and I hesitate to call it ufo's ( as in alien craft ), but if you have people you know (or ufo researchers ) in that area of Morgan Hill California (or even San Joaquin Valley), perhaps they can keep an eye on the area of the sky just south of the Observatory for several months and verify this.... I'm sending an image from Google Earth to show location of activity ..... thank you

Salmon, ID
I have seen this bright, flickering light off and on. This seems to occur several hours after sunset, and occurs at random times. When the object appears – I have seen it positioned slightly off center from being directly overhead Old Leesburg Road, which leads to the high ridge road. This area is known by most as the western side of the city of Salmon, Idaho. This bright object seems to be brightest around or between the time of night between 7:51 pm (Mountain Time Zone) and it seems to move in erratic positioning, usually darting back and forth in a left to right movement pattern. It has been seen to also move in an upwards and downwards movement as well. The night of March 9, 2015 – I was standing outside and noticed the object in a completely different spot from previous sightings. Tonight, I mentioned it to a friend and he also came outside and almost immediately noticed that the object was indeed moving. If you are careful to locate the shadow from the tops of the mountains, it can clearly be seen as being a good distance from the tops of the mountains. As we were watching the object, it definitely seems to emit an almost strobe light effect. This sighting that was witnessed tonight lasted approximately 20 to 26 minutes. Then the object seems to vanish very quickly and is not seen for several weeks approximately, and then is back in just about the same general area.

Huntington Beach, CA
Observed bright orange light descent from high altitude to approx 10K to 20K feet then separate into 2 orange lights. From the 2 orange lights, 2 other lights separated and hovered for several minutes around the center light. I could see a mass shape wobling. Then they all re-attached into one large redish orange light and ascended back into space - vanished. This was not an air plane or meteor. It was organized, suspended and fixed in one location at times and moved around. No noise. The other 2 witnesses were spooked by this experience. Reported to 911 during event. Voice recording.

I was looking north from my back patio and saw a bright bluish-white light rapidly descend toward the horizon. There were scattered clouds and it appeared as if the light passed through them. There was only the single light.
