2/25/2015 20:30 I watched a star like object in western sky for 15 min. It looked like it was pulsating but not moving. I didn't take my eyes off it for about 15 min. I looked away for a sec and it was gone. I think I spotted it going west. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Chambersburg, PA
At around 8 PM on the evening of the 24th - i was pointing out stars and formations in the sky to my grandchildren. In the western sky - fairly low - but above the mountains - was a bright object - second in brightness to the moon - at first i thought it was the planet Venus - but upon observing the light blinked like a star's light and i found Venus in the eastern (sic. Jupiter? Venus is in the western sky, at the time indicated. NUFORC) sky. Upon further observation - i saw a small reddish hue to the lower left side of the bright object. The sky was perfectly clear without clouds, there was no noticeable noise, and the object was not moving. I placed a point of reference in the ground to make sure the object was not moving. After watching some 5-10 minutes - i got my wife and son in law to observe as well. We took a few pictures on the cell phone - but nothing really of note - After observing off and on for 30 minutes - i went to the computer to see what might be so bright in the western sky - and found nothing of note for that t! ime and date. I went to get my camcorder to film the object - came back outside and the object was gone. This whole process consisted of some 30 minutes in duration. I have been watching the sky as weather allowed the last several nights since- around the same period and have not seen anything - except for the 27th - when around the same time i observed a similar light in brightness in the western sky - but higher than the previous night. I observed for about 10 minutes - when i went inside to get the camcorder I emerged to an empty sky again. We are in a rural area with a very clear sky with little light residue. We are also near a military depot - around 7 miles away. A friend observed the brightness in the western sky on the 24th as well - but assumed it was a star and did not watch it for any period.

Kingsport, TN
I was at my home of which is located out in the country within the rolling hills of East Tennessee; it is worth mentioning that we have good views of the sky from our home. I had been shoveling snow out in the driveway and also along the front walk of our house; the sun had set and so I decided that it was time to call it quits and go inside for the evening. I had been looking down at the ground while I was performing the work, but upon stopping the work I lifted my head and turned towards the house so as to begin making my way back towards the front step. As I took a couple steps towards the house, I immediately realized that the brighter planets and stars had become visible in the evening sky, and so I paused so as to take in the view of the evening sky and enjoy the moment; that is when something else caught my attention. As I was looking towards the western sky I saw what I thought at first to be an extremely bright planet or star visible in the sky; it appeared from behind a low hanging cloud. Now there were a several clouds that were hanging low in the sky but beyond the scattered clouds was a crystal clear winter sky. When I first noticed the object it appeared to be moving and so I immediately began to assess whether it was moving or if it was a stationary planetary object with the low hanging clouds moving across the sky instead; within a second or two it was obvious that the object was traveling west to east at a rather high rate of speed. It appeared to be traveling at an altitude that was consistent with the low hanging clouds or just above them due to the clouds would momentarily block my vision of it as it traveled across the sky towards the east. It was close enough that had I had my 10x50 power binoculars on my person I would have likely gotten a much better look at it and could have likely at least identified a particular shape if not much more detail; for instance, at the distance and altitude of which it appea! red to be I would have easily been able to clearly identify a ! typical aircraft if I had viewed it through my 10x50 binoculars. Upon almost immediately realizing that this could potentially be an interesting aerial anomaly I considered running to get my binoculars, but taking into consideration how fast it was traveling I realized that it would only be visible for a few seconds unless it slowed its pace and so I just decided to try view it best I could from my current vantage point. Its appearance was like that of a bright planet except; more like a light than an object. The color of the object (or light) appeared to me as the tone of yellow/light-orange (much similar to the appearance of afterburners from a conventional fighter jet and had it been only flying away from me then I would have considered this to be a reasonable consideration). The color of the object/light stayed consistent throughout the siting; it stayed a solid tone of yellow/light orange. When I notice this object it was located looking towards the western sky; I watched it closely as it traveled from west to east. It was traveling at a speed that in my opinion is consistent of a fighter jet traveling at least normal cruise. It was quiet out and I was intently listening to see if I could hear any sound coming from the object; I heard no noise coming from or produced by the object, I only heard a dog barking intermittently off in the distance. I am most certain that had this been a conventional aircraft I would have heard some sound associated with the object. There was absolutely no contrail or exhaust visible to me coming from this object. I would say that from my vantage point, when I first saw the object I would have been viewing what should be the side of the object and as it traveled across the sky I would have been looking at the rear of the object as it went away (off into the distance); this prevented me from considering the possibility that what I saw was any kind of landing or taxi lights of an aircraft. I am a former State Section Director for MUFON and so I try to always be on the look-out fo! r things that are out of the ordinary; this particular light or object I felt was worth a report, for it is not often that something appears this low in altitude and close enough that you should be able to hear sound emitted of which I cannot easily identify. If it was an aircraft, then I would certainly think that is was likely of the stealth due to the lack of sound emitted.

Berkeley, CA
There is a light about 10,000 feet or more above the Berkeley Hills in Berkeley, CA. The light appears stationary and pulsates a red and blue light. My companion and I stared at it for at least 5 minutes and it was still there when I left- it doesn’t appear to be a star, since the blue and red colors are so pronounced. It also may have slightly shifted from right to left and back again, which one can only detect because of the lights relative position to the buildings from our perspective. The light is located in what appears to be the northeastern sky from the downtown Berkeley area, just over the Berkeley or perhaps the Oakland hills area.

Maple Falls, WA
We observed this object with the naked eye as well as a pair of binoculars for a little over 10 minutes. We were unable to tell how far this object was, but it disappeared behind a ridge that is approximately 2500 ft away. It was easily the brightest object in the sky at the time. There were no discernible details that would suggest that this was a helicopter or other known aircraft. Probable sighting of the star, Sirius, we suspect. PD

Donnelly, ID
Too far away to notice any shape. Pulsing Red/blue/green/white light coming from one source. No noticeable movement-stable, seemed to just hang in the southern sky over Donnelly, Idaho. Possible sighting of a "twinkling" star?? PD

Movement patterns were too erratic for known aircraft. Objects traveled from east to west prior to heading north/west. Weird.

Keizer, OR
I was with my friend while we were building a fire. When something caught my eye and I looked east there was an object that looked like a meteorite but was flying very low about the altitude drones fly. Anyways this isn't the first time I've experienced UFO related things from this park. The energy seemed a little dark around me before this happened as in first time it happened about 2 years ago me and friend heard a loud gong (like breaking the sound barrier) over the water and something pulsated through both our body's that felt like energy but were not able to see anything. This time I saw something flying. It was during sunset both my experiences took place. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Philadelphia, PA
While driving from Cherry Hill, NJ, to Philadelphia, PA, at sunset we noticed the usual chemtrails but then we also noticed 3 objects traveling rapidly to the earth. Each object had a small trail of smoke (different from chemtrails) that dissipated fairly quickly. The three objects were very far away and it made it difficult to make out a shape. We did notice each of the three had its own trajectory that appeared to originate from different locations but were traveling towards the horizon were the sun was setting. They were traveling much faster than the usual plane in the sky. The one closest to the horizon began to give off a spherical bright white light before it was not visible anymore.

Jennings, FL
I was traveling from Atlanta to Miami down I-75 when I saw a blue streak just above the clouds. At first, I thought it was the moon, then I realized it was moving quickly west to east, and it disappeared after a couple of seconds. We assume that the witness intended a date in 2015, and we have amended the date above, to reflect that fact. PD

Bozeman, MT
I looked toward Bozeman (east), and I saw a single white light moving west to east, and I immediately thought that it was a satellite. It was high and travelling fairly fast. I kept watching it, and suddenly it made an "S" turn in the direction it was travelling, and then it stopped completely. It was too high for a helicopter, and travelling too fast initially to be one. I watched for about 10 minutes, and it didn't move. It was cold out, and I didn't have a coat on, so I went inside to get one, and when I went back outside it was not there, or did not appear to be there. The objects we (several witnesses, several times) saw near Dillon, Montana, in 1963 were also single bright white lights, but they could make right angle turns without slowing and stopped on a dime also.

Anacortes, WA
A bright object, greenish in color, approached overhead. Luminosity was comparable to a full moon. An airplane started flying into the same patch of sky. My wife and I observed the object come to a near stop to avoid the airplane, then change directory (90 degrees to the right and more than 90 degrees upward, into the atmosphere), and slowly disappear from view into clouds high in the sky.

South Bend, IN
My family and I were driving east on Douglas Rd. just before Grape Road in South Bend, near Mishawaka. It was snowing and very cold and windy. About 1/2 mile before Grape Rd. I saw 4 white lights in a straight line in the sky just to my right (south). At first I figured it was an airplane heading to the airport, but then I realized the lights weren't moving--they were just staying in one place. I pointed it out to my wife and kids and they all saw it too. We couldn't figure out what it was. As we got near it, it finally began to move to the west in a straight line. It was definitely not a helicopter because the lights didn't match any that I know of, and I put my window down and didn't hear anything. The only thing we could guess it might be was a drone, but for a drone to be flying in that kind of weather just doesn't make sense. It was probably 200 yards or so off the ground. I didn't see any sort of the "typical" saucer shape, nor did it fly off at incredible speeds, but we couldn't identify it, therefore to us it remains a ufo, and I wanted to report it for what it's worth.

Parksville, BC · Canada
I was staying at the Beach Club Resort Hotel in Parksville, BC, Canada, my room was on the 5th floor overlooking the Strait of Georgia, toward Lasqueti Island. While closing the curtains to my hotel room, I noticed a large orange/yellow light, slowly growing in size and intensity as it came toward me from the North. The object then slowly moved West and then two more lights started to grow and increase in intensity from the same direction as the first. As they transited to the West, they did not gain one the first light which had started to travel away from me as the size and intensity decreased until it was no longer discernable from the few stars that were visible. After a few minutes the remaining two also started to travel away from me in the same manner as the first until they too were just points of light. At no time during this sighting was there any sound, or rapid jumping or movement by these objects, just a slow steady transit while changing from orange, yellow and red with no apparent change in shape. (( We know the witness from his prior report, and we consider him to be highly reliable. PD

Reno/Sun Valley, NV
To the west of Sun Valley, there was one very large bright white light, and two smaller bluish-green light and red lights toward the bottom right of the white light. They were extremely high in the sky (from my perspective). At one point while I was watching I also noticed a red light high above the large white light, like the smaller ones below. They never moved for at least 30 minutes. I was on the phone with my daughter, who was on the Reno side, about 10 miles to the west of me, and she was seeing the exact same thing. But she said she was closer to being underneath them. I went into the house for a short time, and when I came back out they were gone.

Maple Ridge (Canada), BC · Canada
Around 8:30 pm Wednesdy evening, looking south-southeast, my wife noticed two bright orange objects moving slowly from east to west approximately 1 to 2 miles away from her at an approximate altitude of 2500 feet. She called me to come and see what I could make of it and my two children aged 11 and 14 also came outside to witness the objects. When I arrived outside one of the orange lights had suddenly just disappeared whereas the one remaining orange light slowly moved east and then very slowly faded away. There were several (3) low flying aircraft also in the area during this event (Cessna variety), and at one point my wife stated that the two objects looked like they were attempting to follow the aircraft. I had suggested that the two objects could have been homemade Chinese lanterns, as it is close to the Chinese New Year, but to be honest they did seem to be very strange. Also while out walking with a neighbour today, my wife says that the neighbour saw the same lights, and that she does not think they were "chinese lanterns." Anyhow thought I would post what we saw and see if anyone else had the same experience.

I live about a hour and half northeast of event. I'm about fifty five miles south of Canadian border. Seen three different videos of strange light witch seemed to hover in one video but also light changing. these videos were taken off of cell phones so there not the best. another video was chasing it but not able to catch it. it then takes of from right to left then vanishes. I cant give family members names because I haven't got permission. just believe it has something to do with Manitoba crash. only about nine and a half hours away from it. was not able to upload videos but have them on facebook and youtube. under my channel dominic sartwell 13. lots of people said link was broken and also a day after trying to send videos to media my real cloud was hacked and also Microsoft account was hacked. found this to be strange. i well email you videos I took bye recording them from lab top bye using phone.

Negaunee, MI
My wife and I were in bed during winter of 2015 when, at around 10pm, my son called excited. He said something like “Dad! Look out your window and tell me what you see!!” He was calling from a friend’s home on US 28 perhaps 15 miles away. I got up and looked out the window immediately viewing a large whitish light at about a 45 degree angle to the west. It was large. At one point I held my arm at length and compared the light to the width of my thumb. It as slightly wider and I am 6’ 4” tall with large hands. My son said that his friend’s dad and girlfriend had left for a small mountain closer to the object near Marquette. My son said he and some friends wanted to come to our house to get closer to the object and watch the object. We are up on a high hill a good 200 feet over the surrounding area. I have a 3 rd story tower and went up the stairs to look out to the west. I watched the object while I waited for my son. It stayed in one spot the entire time. ! Eventually my son and a couple of friends arrived. One had a pair of binoculars. They thought it looked not much larger than where they watched it the 15 or so miles back to the East. The light did nothing. Eventually my teen daughter eventually came home from work and came up to the tower. She was immediately shocked by the globe of light. We all watched the light perhaps another hour or so. My wife and step son also joined. I went outside a couple of times to walk down the driveway and to look and listen. It was absolutely silent. It looked like white light but sometimes we thought we could see other colors emitted but, if that was the case, it was very subtle and maybe just an artifact. After watching this thing not move for so long we were suddenly alarmed to realize it was starting to move. It was very slow and steady moving at about the same height off to the west . After a few minutes it reached a ridge line approximately two miles away. Here it stopped. My son was watching with the binoculars. He says excitedly, “Dad...see if you see what I’m seeing” as he handed me the binoculars. I focused on the object and noticed a very small white globe descending from the larger object and moving down at a perfect trajectory at about 45 degrees to the ground. At about half way to the tree tops it abruptly turned the opposite direction to the south as it appeared to drop below the trees. Moments later it returned to the main object! Then the entire object dropped straight down below the back side of the hillside. We all exclaimed “it gone!”. But a moment later it came straight back up to about the same height and began moving to the south where it eventually! disappeared into the distance. People I have told this to say “helicopter”, but there was nothing but silence on a clear starry cold winter night. And I don’t believe my son could have seen something as small as a helicopter miles away that looked nearly the same side when he arrived at my house. The small “probe” that dropped from the main object was the strangest part to me.
