Marana, AZ
I was outside walking my dog before I left to go camping on Mt. Lemmon. It was about 4:30 in the morning and I stood there and watched it for about 5 minutes before I ran inside to get my camera. I was expecting it to be gone when I cam back out but it wasn't. It was still in the same area that it was in. I placed my camera on top of a fence post to make sure my hands were not shaking. I have 4 videos; 1) 59 seconds, 2)15 seconds, 3) 13 seconds, 4) 8 seconds The light danced and moved in ways that no human made object could move. The movements were against, what we understand, as the laws of physics.

La Vergne, TN
While sitting outside I looked up into the western sky and saw a dull pulsing light. It then sped off across the sky. No trail, just a fast moving light.

Aberdeen, MD
To whom it may concern: I would like to report a UFO sighting on Friday September 5, 2014. The sighting occurred around 9:00 pm in the western sky above Aberdeen, Maryland. I was looking at the big dipper group of stars, when I noticed what appeared to be a star above the first star in the handle. I had never noticed it before, so I continued to watch it. The star began to grow larger and brighter. I watched it become extremely brighter then anything else in the sky for a minute or so. The light then moved very fast towards the north, omitting a bright tail of light that disappeared in less than a second. The tail of light was perfectly straight with no curve to it, and was hundreds of times larger than the light it seemed to come out of. The conditions that evening were mostly clear with some light clouds scattered in the sky below the area where the sighting occurred. I was the only witness to this sighting that I am aware of.

Loughman, FL
In the sky, I saw what would first appear like light beams in the sky. I noticed there were several beams, all of the same size and appearance. There were two sets of beams which were rotating left to right and the other side right to left in perfect symmetry. I wouldn't be able to estimate the size of the lights/object. I could say about 100 - 200 meters but wouldn't be altogether sure. It was truly one of the most incredible sights I have seen. The lights disappeared after a few minutes. I went back inside to call my husband and came out to see the lights had reappeared in a different area behind my house. As I couldn't believe what I was seeing I ran to call my husband again and by the time I came back the light had disappeared. I got goosebumps from this experien! ce. At the time I felt like I was being watched but whatever/whoever was watching didn't want to be seen. There were no sounds from the object/light. We wonder whether the lights might have been part of an advertising display. PD

Two red lights that flew slowly and quietly across the night sky. Perfectly parallel of each other for two minutes, then dissappeared. With the blink of the eye.

Burleson, TX
Looking to the northeast, I noticed a light moving across the sky. The light moving across the sky was purely white, appeared to be at a high altitude, and moving at a high speed with no sound. It appeared that the light ascended up as it became a pin point of light that resembled a star then disappeared.

Lawrence, MA
A very clear evening and all stars could be seen. 2 Red moving balls of light that looked about the size of a bright big star. The light did not flash. 5 different instances. 2 of these lights were spotted moving at a constant speed diagonal from each other maintaining spacing. They eventually seemed to dim but appeared to be moving outward from the Earth and then disappeared quickly. almost instantaneously they reappeared in the same configuration in the opposite direction of where they were traveling but then seemed to travel the same path again. Then there was one at different plain moving about the same speed as the first 2 in the same direction. As that one moved another one appeared at about the same plain but not exactly moving in the same direction. Then a 3rd one appeared in the same way but all were on a similar plain but they were not right behind each other. These moved at a speed that seemed slower than what a satellite seems to travel at when one goes over head. It was not a plane because I was able to see several planes prior to and after this spotting. The light were very visible on the planes and blinking could be seen. It did not appear that the balls of red light were within Earths atmosphere. I was in the military and I am a quality manager now so I generally get details very correct. These were red and came from the west. I would not expect anything to move in that manner even though it seemed to drift to the east. They way they disappeared was unusual as well. I have seen flares and many things. I also witnessed this same ball of light about 2 weeks prior to this sighting but there were two of them in the east sky not moving much. They stayed in one spot and one time drifted to east slightly, maintaining their configuration, and then stopped. They were there for about 3 minutes from time I spotted them. They too disappeared quickly but seemed to moving away from the Earth because these drifted as they seemed to move away. I have some video but it looks just like a red star and nothing more on my phone camera video.

Deer Park, WA
strategically placed lights in a grid formation lights have been present surrounding property in stevens county for at least the last 5 days visible only at night . lights flicker colors green blue red orange and move in slight abrupt movements. seems like being investigated by a military helicopter and what looks like a UAV. We spoke with the witness via telephone, and explored with him whether the objects might have been "twinkling" stars. He insisted that they were not, and cited his military background as an observer.

Iowa City, IA
Mostly white and red with some blue. It would pulsate and fade the white color and flash the red and blue i think. It could have been there for longer i saw it first just sittin there looking like an exploding star or somethin but taking off in a straight direction we both immediately knew that was a ufo. Also i thought i saw a black circle shoot out about 30 mins in

Olympia, WA
While getting off the freeway heading towards the capitol building, my boyfriend and I noticed 9 or 10 orange/red circles of light floating in the sky to the left of the capitol dome. The balls hovered without any sound but moved smoothly in several different formations. At first, they were in no particular order, but seemed to rotate and move as one in a fluid fashion, some moving faster than others. Then they paired up, one out of the two descended while the other ascended. Then they reversed direction. The final formation I saw were the pairs moving diagonally, but with the set of two still aligned in a straight line. The lights went behind some trees and when we searched for them again we didn't see them. After about 10 minutes of driving around I saw a single light next to the dome of the Capitol building. We passed another tree and then it had disappeared again. Both of us have never seen any sort of aircraft move so fluidly and silently. The lights were much larger then any plane lights and moved in an impossible pattern. I have no idea what it could have been but it was certainly "unidentified".

Ellicott City, MD
I witnessed a single bright light hovering in the sky over interstate 70 in the western portion of Ellicott City. I was driving east bound and saw the light remain stationary in the sky. It was white in color and did not move. Other craft such as helicopters and planes were visible elsewhere in the sky moving and containing blinking lights while this object remained motionless and did not exhibit any blinking patterns nor extra lights us per usual with helicopters and planes.

Witnessed orange lights slowly moving across the sky. They would show up in pairs and travel across the sky for about 2 minutes before disappearing. There were up to 6 in the sky at one time all traveling on the same path.

Helena, MT
Flashes of light going in every direction. At first it went from right to left and sort of bounced around just flashing everywhere. Red, Green, and Diamond colors spinning around, out of control like. After 15 minutes, it dropped down and travelled west into the clouds. About 7 minutes later it was back in the same area. After doing its sparkling dance, it turned into a laser show and had made designs, being just as bright as before. Then it dimmed significantly.

Buxton, NC
Looking over the ocean to the east, between 11pm and 12pm. One large orange light moving towards the beach, then fading to black. No noise at all. Within 5 to 10 minutes jets were scrambled all over the sky. At least 8 to 10 of them. 15 minutes later, the same light appeared, with a second one appearing next to it moments after. They both faded out in unison. Jets continued to scramble for an hour.

Nags Head, NC
Then, all, jump up, once, then jump up again, again, then up high then 180 degrees due west then.........gone. That morning huge sonic boom, huge. This at night you could hear a pin drop. Red, green, red green, red green red green, circular lights, like on a plane, but not any noise. I would swear all information to be true to my sight in court. These were so precise in their movement whether to be local...no or whatever. It was real what ever it was. Carol

Hanover, PA
A second object with the same description as the first was on the same exact flight path as the first but at least 10 seconds behind the first object. The second object faded into the sky just like the first but disappeared past where the first faded away. Stars and distinctive aircraft are visible within the sky. These two objects were flying at the same speed of each other but faster than any aircraft. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Lake Geneva, WI
Light that made its self thinner and moved fast sideways, while changed different colors ...until finally disappeared behind a tree. Right after it was a plane. I honestly couldn't tell if it was chasing it or not, but there's so etching strange about that coincidence. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) It was at 9:25 pm, thank you so much for the advice will do! ((END ADDENDUM))

Pueblo/El Paso Counties, CO
I was driving to Colorado Springs, Colorado from Pueblo County, Colorado between the hours of 8:45pm-9:30pm. As I was driving past the Elpaso County sign just a 1/4 of a mile north of exit 116 on I-25, I noticed a light in the northeast corner of my windshield window, off in the distance towards Peyton, Colorado. The soft orangish white light seemed to hover about a 1/2 Mile in the air, slowly dimming out and eventually it reappeared with the full brightness it had before dimming out. The time frame of it being lit in the sky was about 3 minutes slowly floating to the east. About a year earlier I was in the town of Pueblo, Colorado, filling up on gas, and I looked towards the north, yet again to see the same floating lights, not one, but a total of three slowly floating in the night sky for about 3 minutes, and disappeared then reappeared for a final time for about 3 minutes before dying out. I have tried doing extensive research on the mysterious ghost lights, but unable to fine answers.
