San Anselmo, CA
I am filing this report because I met 2 other witnesses and engaged in a conversation with them as we witnessed multiple yellow gold orange lights in various locations in a cluster or group hovering or floating about in the night sky. These "lights" would hover at treetop or hilltop level in the southeastern sky coming up and then dipping below the treelines basically coming out of nowhere. There would be 2 or 3 lights and then there would be 6 to 10 objects a few seconds later in various locations. I saw a string of 7 objects line up in a row at one point. This is the second time I've had 2 other witnesses with me lately observing this activity. The other time was on 9-30-14, same 2 witnesses same activity and same mysterious yellow gold lights. I am baffled as to why there are not more reports or other people noticing this although 2 reports were filed on the night of 11-10-12 that are quite interesting in this same area. These sightings are occur! ing up to several miles away which also include San Rafael, Ross, Larkspur etc. I will add that the 3 of us met while out walking the dog and agreed that we were witnessing something unusual.

New Hampton, NH
We were driving on 93 north bound around New Hampton, NH, at dusk and saw a very bright white light just above the hills/mountains. My husband noticed it at the same time, and just then the one light multiplied into three bright lights in a vertical line. The three lights were all the same size, had no smoke trails or anything, and then disappeared to a single point all at the same time. We saw one more bright light in the same direction about 2 minutes later and then it was gone. These lights were not planes, fireworks, flares, or stars!

Freehold, NJ
At about 12:38 in the morning I was on route 9 north going home when I saw a light shoot from the sky through the clouds heading earthbound. It went by very quickly but there was no tell on the end which makes me think it wasn't a meteor or comet. It was really neat to see and have waited all my life to see something like that. I know it wasn't a shooting star because it wasn't streaming across the sky it was heading inbound to the ground. There was no sound. It was a mile or two at best away from me. It was very bright. The speed in which it came down was incredible. I've never seen anything move that fast. My radio started to get all static like as it happened. It was so amazing. I've waited all my life to see something and I finally did. I hope I see it again.

Colorado Springs, CO
3rd sighting this month. This time it was three lights. Middle light was brighter than the other two. Other two were exact same dull brightness. All lights were stationary. Middle light was blinking erratically from white to red to blue to green. Then it would stop blinking and return to a dull white and the other two lights would flash at the exact same time. This went on for a few minutes until they all lit up erratically and slowly disappeared. They looked to be well above cruising altitude for airliners.

Wichita, KS
My fiancé and I were sitting in the back yard facing West near Kellogg and Ridge Rd enjoying the evening and a fire I had lit in our fire pit. We were layer back in zero gravity chairs watching the fire and looking up towards the sky. I noticed what seemed to be a falling star and got her attention to look up at it. As it moved from the North kind of in a South-West Direction it got brighter as a normal meteor would when it breaches the earths atmosphere. It was moving at an incredible rate of speed as most meteors do. Out of nowhere, the object did a complete 180 degree turn and started heading in a due North direction. When I saw this I yelled at my fiancé who was also watching it. I was excited and started explaining that meteors don't just change direction. I don't think she quite grasped how important and significant this was. I continued to watch it and it bobbled in the sky (like a line on a heart monitor would blip downward) but still mainta! ined the same speed. I lost it behind a tree and never regained sight of it again. I work as a supervisor in the aircraft industry and have even worked on military aircraft. This was not a plane. I am not saying it is alien in origin, but nothing I have ever seen moves that fast and changes direction as quickly as this did. If I had to venture a guess I would say it is possible it is some sort of military project not yet brought to light, but honestly I am dumb-founded by it. I told my lifelong friends, and they just kind of snickered. I am not the type of person who would make up stories. I know what I saw. Until last night I never really payed to much interest in these sorts of things, but I would love to find an answer as to what it was. I will continue to watch the sky at night.

St. George Island, FL
On Wednesday, 15 Oct, 2014 myself and one other witnessed a bright green light sphere with a slender orange/amber circle far in the distance and high in the eastern night sky off the coast of St. George Island, FL in the Gulf of Mexico. We had rented a beach front home in the Plantation area, which is at the west end of the island. We noticed the light around 11:00PM EDT. There is virtually no light pollution at St. George Island, and it was very clear that night with plenty of stars and you could see the Milky Way Galaxy clearly. The light did not move or flicker at all and was present for over 2 hrs. We went to bed around 1:00 AM and the light was still in the exact same spot; no change. The next night (Thursday, 16 Oct, 2014) we were sitting on the front deck of the house around 10:00 PM EDT with our family members (total of 5), when we noticed the same light that we saw on Wednesday, but only the light had moved from the east to the west/south west. Again, way off in the distance and high in the sky over the ocean. We watched the light for a while, and then all of a sudden 5 additional lights lit up one at a time in 2 second intervals until all were lit. They were in a straight vertical pattern from right to left of the main object; the 5 lights were equal distance apart, stationary and didn’t move and were crystal clear/bright. They were slightly smaller than the main object/light. The 5 additional lights were bright orange/red, but the main light was green with a slender orange/red circle. Once all 5 additional lights were lit they stayed on for 15 to 20 seconds and then went dark at the same time, while the main object/light stayed lit and did not move. Then approximately 3 to 5 minutes later the exact same thing/pattern happened again. In total it did this 3 times and on the 3rd time the 5 lights and main light went dark at the exact same time and didn’t not appear again, just vanished. We stayed at the Island until Saturday, 18 Oct 2014, but we did not see the object(s) and/or light(s) again.

Fayetteville, NC
At approximately 20:10 my husband, son, and friend were sitting on the porch enjoy a cool evening when they saw, hovering above the trees, a bright red light. They said it suddenly appeared and was sitting in the same spot for several minutes. By the time they called me out to make sure they were not seeing things, the light just disappeared. They said it did not drop, did not move, did not fly away… it just disappeared. I told them to call me out there if it came back. Not even a minute later they called me back out on the porch and showed me the light. It was bright red and just sitting in the sky above the trees. It was there for about a minute and then disappeared again. I sat with them for a few minutes to see a bright yellowish light appear, then the bright red light appear to the right of the yellowish light. The lights were sitting in the same spot, they did not move up, seem to come from below, drop, or move; they just seemed to sit in one spot then! disappear. I took video of the last occurrence and noticed just after the yellowish light disappeared, there was a green flash of light visible (only in the video; not to the naked eye) over the red light before it disappeared. I thought all of this was strange enough to share.

Tucson, AZ
Thursday October 16 2014 at 7:09 PM while returning home retrieving my mail from my mailbox in central Tucson, AZ, I observed a red light ufo for 3 seconds in the south sky going from west to east above and past the power lines. It moved very fast and then there was a very bright white flash of light and the object had vanished. Please note however the Davis Monthan Airbase is close by but this was not one ours. It made no sound. It moved 30 degrees from right to left.

Burnsville, MN
I'm in my car ready to leave Costco and and I happen to look up and see a plume of white mist- almost like a contrail, descending in a downward trajectory at a 45 degree angle. It moved fairly quick. The white mist had a very long tail. I looked for a plane but couldn't find any aircraft in the area. I sat in my car and watched this object move very slow and deliberate. At times it seemed as if it would pause and then start moving again. The cloud cover was infrequent and what clouds there were, were wispy. I saw the object pause several times and it seemed like it slowed down. As the object descended downward the contrail- or whatever it was, seemed to decrease and the tail became smaller until it was almost indistinguishable from the object. It paused before going through a wispy cloud. I sat and waited until it came through the cloud but it never appeared again. There was no debris. One minute it was there and the next it was gone. And the contrail ceased to exist. The entire incident lasted approximately 10 minutes. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Salinas, CA
At approximately 8pm on the night of Wednesday, October 15, 2014, my wife and I noticed the fastest flying object either of us have ever seen in the sky above Salinas, Ca. We were on N. Main Street in our car facing South in moderate traffic when we noticed a bright constant white light in the sky above the valley traveling right to left, or West to South East, at an extremely fast speed that instantly grabbed our attention. It had no blinking lights as would normally be present on an aircraft and it was traveling so far that we immediately concluded that it wasn't a plane or jet. It maintained a horizontal trajectory, never falling the way a shooting star would. We watched it for approximately 20 seconds before we lost view of it in the distance, still glowing bright white as it traveled down the valley towards Soledad. There were clouds in the sky, and while we saw common airplanes in the sky immediately after, moving slowly in comparison and receding occasionally behind a cloud, we both noted that the UFO never receded behind any clouds during our brief observation. This indicates that it flew below the cloud line low enough in the Salinas Valley to rule out a satellite or missile. We have an annual air show here and we both grew up watching jets race over the valley one weekend out of every year. We both agree what we saw was by far much much faster than any jet we've ever witnessed.

We were driving home when we saw 4 red glowing lights lined up in the sky....we are right by the airport so I said it was the planes lining up to land but then I realized they were just a solid red color and there were no aviation lights blinking of any kind. I went to turn into a parking lot so I can stop to look and as I looked over I watched the first one just disappear into thin air and then they were all gone.....my bf saw the other three literally just vanish after sitting there for about a minute. I can't tell if they were moving at all if any but they seemed pretty stationary and then vanished instantly.

Muncie/Warren (near; Exit 278 on I-69), IN
We were driving north on i-69 and saw what we thought was a plane. It was shortly after exit 278. We noticed it only because the light looked neat across the clouds. We looked at it not for very long and then it just vanished. We saw no more light. It was a bright white light and we saw no other red green lights like you do on an airplane. It was lower than a normal plane would be in that area. Even if it was a plane and turned directions we would have still seen a light. We dont know what it was.

Hope, RI
Sitting inside at the window I glanced out to see a stationary ball of red light to my southeast. Living on a hill overlooking the valley of West Warwick, I am quite familiar with common lights of the night sky such as stars, planets and many different types of aircrafts. This red light was none of those objects. It never moved the whole 6 or so minutes I was watching it. It was very low in the sky, much lower than any aircraft. It also was not more than a couple of miles away from me in the Southeast sky. The light stayed in place for 6 minutes, then began to move away from me at a very high speed towards the south and disappeared in a matter of seconds. I have lived in this room on top of this hill for 20 years and I have never seen anything like this.

Phenix City, AL
Our dogs were very unsettled, so we took them outside at about 8:30 PM EST. I saw a very bright large light coming from the east northeast moving south southwest. I suddenly noticed it was being followed by a multitude of smaller lights. It looked like the stars where moving. we noticed three different columns of lights flying slightly behind and to either side. There were so many we lost count more than forty. There were regular aircraft flying lower they seemed to be commercial aircraft. We felt like it was an invasion. They were just white lights of different sizes flying in formations at a very high altitude. They did not make any sound they were much slower than the commercial aircraft.

Looked about a mile long and was in the sky above 29 Palms military base area. Was there for 20 minutes. Then gone. We have amended the time above, so it reflects a sighting in 2014, not 2015. PD

Palm Desert, CA
The light intensity was far brighter and larger than the top of the tram light. As bright as an incoming commercial jet liner that is descending and coming directly at you as they do from east to west where we live. This was 30 degree and up from the horizon, well over the top of mount San Gorgonio (sp?) to the north west. Over the mountains that direction sets Joshua Tree to the north and Edwards AFB and Mohave to the north west. I have seen missile launches at dusk from our location from Vandenburg, further to the west. This was my first UFO experience. I managed to get both my wife and adult son out to see it for the final 20-30 seconds to witness me.

Raymond, ME
On the night of October/12/2014 at 8:45pm Eastern Standard Time in Raymond, Maine. I was walking outside to get my work cloth out of my car to was and I notice in clouds over a dozen faint oval lights moving very fast and then they would pause in the night skys clouds. I thought they might be spot lights and I decided to call the are local dispatch Cumberland County Sheriffs. They told me they didnt know what the lightswhere but there was nothing on the ground that they could find. I noticed there was nothing shining on the ground or a trail of light shining up from the ground. They would move in a pattern formation and a group of them would start to spin like a ferris wheel and then they would shoot from one side of the clouds to another. What kept getting me was they would stop. The police also told I was the fourth person to call at that point. I called at 9:00pm. The next morning I was running errands and I ran to a neighbor that asked if I had seen them! also. Several people witnessed the event. It lasted over an hour. I have called the local news media twice and I emailed them once. I tried contacting the Maine Air National Guard. I just want to find out whag I shaw in the sky. If you research this the police will confirm that others called dispatch and reported the lights. I just want answers. I tried to record them with my camera on my phone but I wasnt able to pick them up. My father and brother witness them also.

Louan-Villegruis-Fontaine, Ile-de-France · France
Le 13 octobre 2014 vers 6h10 un automobiliste et sa passagère sont surpris de voir dans le ciel un point lumineux évoluer dans le ciel dans une trajectoire en forme de virgule. Aucune trainée, aucun bruit ne sont remarqués. Le phénomène disparaît soudainement. Un seul témoignage a été recueilli. Compte tenu des éléments définis dans le compte rendu d'enquête, en particulier l’absence de description faite par les services de Gendarmerie de l’engin observé au-dessus de la centrale de Nogent, et dans l’attente d’informations en ce sens, le manque d’information ne permet pas de trancher en faveur d’une quelconque hypothèse. Ce cas est à classer en « C » comme observation d’un phénomène non identifiable en l’état, le manque important d’éléments ne permettant pas d’établir un avis solide. [GEIPAN classification C — Manque d'informations fiables]

Havelock (Canada), ON · Canada
This was a Saturday night at around 9:30 P.M. Perfectly clear sky. No wind at all. I was out making a fire near the water on Belmont Lake near Havelock, Ontario. Finally got it going nicely and did hear fireworks now and then, but they were the cracker type, not the kind that explode in the air. I sat down facing the west and saw a red light through the trees but the light was much farther away than the trees. The tree had dropped most of its leaves so I could easier see through it. I saw this light coming over a cottage about 500 yards away from the west from up on the main road. It was not travelling very fast, so I went to the cottage to get the other person to look at this light. The other person said it is just an aircraft. I said it is one constant bright color of red, no noise, it is not a plane it is not blinking and is not high in the sky like all other planes and there is no wind for it to be a balloon and it is to bright red. It is not fireworks, because the light is constant. The red light was moving toward the South East, and never varied in height. Then it went out of site, miles away. There was only one bright red light. The light was lot bigger than the normal air craft lights and was closer to the earth. I had a clear view nothing impeded it. The object did not leave any vapour trail.

San Antonio, TX
This strange light was first seen in the western sky about 45 degrees above horizon. It appeared to be an airplane but there was no sound and then it suddenly descended very quickly and then, just as quickly, it started ascending. For a few seconds it was rising and falling and twisting and turning erratically. The light was white but would fade to a reddish color at times. It moved to the northeast. It did not go directly over me. I would guess that it was over Loop 1604 and I-10 when I last saw it. As it traveled, the light would sometimes not be visible but would soon appear further along in the direction it was travelling. The strange motion is what caught my eye and is the only reason this light was unusual.

Greenville, ME
As I was admiring the night sky outside our camp I looked North towards Greenville and saw a red/green flashing light, thinking it was a plane but it did not move, it stayed stationary. I watched it for awhile from the deck, then saw another smaller white light moving from the east to west that seemed to go beneath it. I assumed this to be a plane. I called to my husband and we went upstairs w/ binoculars for a better view. It was still too far in the distance to make out anything clearly other than the red/green light. We watched for about 20 mins and it did not move at all. I looked again just befor bed at about 10 and did not see it at all.
