Baton Rouge, LA
It was a really bright light shining down (maybe the same elevation as small plane/crop duster). I saw the bright light for a few seconds then it shut off but I could still see a dim light. I did not hear any engine noise. The aircraft then traveled in an upward/Northern direction. I could no longer see it after about 4 to 5 seconds.

Skippack (Collegeville), PA
About 30 red-orange lights (looking like helicopters flying south to north). A parade, one right after the other. Absolutely no sound - so they could not have been helicopters. It took about 20 minutes for all 30 to go marching north. They seemed to be following route #113 (from the Perkiomen Valley Airport north to the PA State Police Office in Skippack, PA.

We were on a walk and noticed a planet and a few stars, then a bright blue flash caught our eyes. We watch the light move slow and change directions several times like a bug. Then it started to move very fast to the northwest. We watched the object until it disappeared. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Collegeville, PA
Saw lights in formation. Silent and some moved faster than others. It was one after another. Friends said they were Chinese lanterns but the way they moved, the moved pretty fast. I'm a private pilot and have never seen anything like it. Moved from the south to north then turned slightly east. The lights were orange, red and blue. Brighter than aircraft. We suspect a nighttime sighting, and have amended the time above. PD

Witnessed flying and dancing red light at high speed across the sky. Saw an incoming landing airline flight fly right past it as it was approaching Myrtle Beach International Airport.

Owasso, OK
Saw red white & blue light at 50* north east in Owasso skyline. Definitely not a star, as it is rotating in place at a 30* or greater angle. Because of the lighting it's hard to tell if it's diamond shape, or cylinder shaped. Knew it was out of place when I saw it. Heard reports of something similar over downtown tulsa. No cloud cover out here, clear sky's. It's still visible and continuing to rotate, sometimes drifting about 100-300 feet from it's fixed position.

Laguna Beach, CA
I don't remember the day, but I guess it's about a week ago, and another guy saw it, too. I am a security guard, doing my graveyard shift, and I needed to get fresh air...so, I went out of my guard shack, and looked up in the sky, and there it was, an elongated, greenish/yellowish light, kinda like a laser beam, quietly shooting across the sky over the pacific ocean...from east to west. It disappeared as it hit the horizon. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Lannon, WI
At this point, it was extremely bright, and looked like it had some how powered up, which is the only way I know how to explain it, and it took off and was gone. We looked for it for about a minute more until it actually sunk in that we had no idea as to what it was and went inside after my son got scared. Neither my son or myself had ever seen anything like this before. A little after 02:00 am, a rain storm came and had severe lightning like we had never seen before. We were surprised to wake up in the morning and see that we still had power. I am sure that it was a coincidence, but it is definitely note worthy.

Round Rock, TX
Strange feeling at time of sighting. Dark orange light slowly hovered across the sky headed SE direction; object distance is that of a star however in obvious motion. The skies were cloudy with many other visible stars. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. PD

Clairton, PA
On August 18, 2014. 11:58 p.m., ((female's name deleted)) was driving on St. Clair from the Ravensburg bridge towards the golden gate restaurant with her three children ((three names deleted)). She spotted a pinkish orange glowing object slightly to the right in the sky. At this time it appeared stationary at the same time ((boy's name deleted)) who was in the front seat also saw the object he says it appears more reddish shortly after they pulled over in the Golden Gate parking lot ((Boy's name deleted)) quickly snapped photos of the object, starting at 11:59 p.m. as it was traveling south by southwest, until I blinked out of sight through clouds in the distance at about 12:05 p.m. the object was to bright to be a plane and ((boy's name deleted)) could not see any blinking lights which are required by law at night it was also silent.

Glenpool, OK
While driving home from work down peoria near 161st I spotted 3 lights in the sky to the south west. One was flashing, two were a consistant orange-red color that seemed to pulse ever so slighty. I immidiately reached my home and woke up my father, who did see the lights as well. The flashing light soon approached, going along the normal air traffic path as so many other airplanes have in this area, with the tell-tale flashings of white and red, the shape of its wings clearly seen. There is an airport to the south west and they tend to travel in the general direction of the Tulsa airport, but the other two lights, which were not flashing, only slighty pulsing to where one could almost not notice, the other two stayed for a bit, then slighty went to the east, then faded away. The lights could be compared to a mix of the light that is given off by Venus and/or Mars, but both were not only in the wrong spot according to my google sky they also clearly moved, and then quickly disapeared into the night.

Waialua, HI
We were on the beach looking at the stars when three lights appeared in the sky about a half a mile to a mile from where we were sitting. They were super bright and stationary. Red/white lights. Lasted for about thirty seconds then disappeared.

Belcamp, MD
My husband and I were on our way to work this morning, and I noticed two lights hovering in the sky. I told my husband to look at the two lights. At first, he said it was probably a helicopter. I was sure it was not. The two lights were stationery, and looked like a big craft. There were no stars in the sky. I observed them for the entire car ride. By the time we got home, my husband knew it was not a helicopter! Possible conjunction of Jupiter and Venus, which occurred on this date. PD

I was sitting outside withy cousins and we saw a bright fast moving object headed towards north at a very fast speed. It zig-zagged, disappeared, and reappeared several times, before disappearing into the night. We have corrected the date to August 17, 2014. PD

Kearns, UT
While using the new camera and looking into the night sky almost straight up. I saw one image with two luminous trapezium shapes with rounded corners moving slowly from north to south. The craft was about three fingers wide at an arm's length and the length of the craft was half as long as wide. A trapezium shape with quadric corners or rounded corners, one thus and one opposite (two wing shaped craft). It was unique, it was the first time I've ever seen this shapes or associated it with ufology . Later while reviewing my thoughts, the image I saw reminded me of the chrome grill of a BMW almost or close to the shape, a two trapezium shaped wing image. Must look at the grill of a BMW to relate to what I saw. The image was self illuminating as if the edge was lit up fluorescently while the area in between was less illuminating. The color was that of a very dim fluorescent bulb with a blue hue. I didn't question the validity of the object. I just knew it was one of a kind and it was physically there in the sky not projected. Three minutes later, 11:00pm, another craft exactly the same moved north to south across the sky, making 1 or 2 degree correction turn to the east. Each pass of the craft lasted about 15 seconds. There was no sound associated with the sightings. The fluidity and grace of the traveling crafts sent a rush through my body - wow is all I could think- what an experience. Nothing came out in the pictures, that's because I wasn't experienced with the camera or ready for the event. Twenty minutes later, my son and I were scanning the skies. In about the same location as the 10:57 and 11:00 pm sighting we saw a blinking or solid streaking light that went in 1 or 2 second intervals and that happened 5 or 6 times all in the same area not moving through the sky. The same blink or streak repeating in the same spot in the sky. (no sound) The color was that of an incandescent light bulb. The size of the blink or streak was the same as a small meteor. It was all worth the skeeter bites we endured. We live on the west side of the Salt Lake City Valley in Utah.

Targu Neamt (Romania) · Romania
It was a more powerfull light moving than other stars, at first view I thought is a artificial satellite, but it fly slowly, almost as a commercial airliner, and make no noise, and have very little zigzag trajectory, flew almost the whole sky, light after 2 minutes decreased in intensity and disappeared. Took me think of a rocket due the trajectory, but here is no military base in the area, of any kind. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Bailey's Harbor, WI
Overlooking Lake Michigan, the stars were especially visible. We were looking westward out at the night sky. My companion pointed out that a star was moving. I said it must just be a plane. But, upon closer inspection, the star-like light had no flashing light that would identify it as a plane. It was also much farther away then a plane would be. It followed a path, from north to south, but it darted up and down as it travelled, darting quickly back and forth, and it became increasingly obvious planes do not have that ability. We watched it until it faded away in the north, finally getting too far away to see.

Borger, TX
It was the same size of a star but it couldn't be a shooting star because it kept lite and did not have any form of fire or have a tail. It could not be a plane because it moved way too fast. As it kept moving it disappeared and appeared again. It was heading northwest then it changed direction to the southwest. It was two of them that at one one point they crossed. Something I have never seen.

Leaving the grocery store I looked up and saw a flying light in the sky. It looked like a flying light. It was not flashing it was steady light. I watched as the light went in and out of the low clouds. It seemed to fly in a large circle around the area twice, then on its 3rd approach to my area, it disappeared instantly. I saw no light or object. I waited but it did not reappear. I did take a cell phone video of it on its 2nd approach, however its not good footage as my cell phone couldn't zoom in on it very well.

Luray, KS
Vary weird I thought so I ran in to the house and got the first person I seen witch was my sister in law. I told her what I thought I seen in the sky. She came out with me and i went to show her the object but it was to late it was gone. As I looked for it she spotted it over South above the elevator. I told her that it couldn't of been the same one I saw at first. It had moved to far to be the same one. We stood watching the object move slow slowly across the sky. As we followed it moving southwest it was gaining elevation until it finally disappeared. She went in the house and got her husband and my wife so they could witness these objects in the sky. After it was gone we seen 3 more one moving to the east and the other 2 moving southwest in different locations. They would gain elevation and disappear and reappear in different locations. The one moving towards the east was flying low and was just as bright as the others until the brightness went away and turned a red orange color for less than a minute then went back before it disappear also. It was amazing, and weird, at the same time.

Kehei, HI
Looked out the window at 5:30 am and saw 4 white lights (1 object) with a blinking red light in the middle in the sky. Watched for a while then grabbed camera to record. Thought it was a plane but it kept dropping fast and moving quickly from side to side. Still think it could be a plane that was going through some rough turbulence. I took two short videos of it - total of 2 minutes before I couldn't see it anymore.
