Fort Wayne, IN
I usually wouldn't humor this UFO stuff.. but my son and I seen this for ourselves... Driving over the 469 overpass on highway 1, looking east past the catholic church and fields, was a blue light- I told my son it was probably a new radio tower or something. I slowed down and we kept an eye on it driving in my convertible- top down- full view- And I noticed it was a little higher up off the ground then I thought.. Suddenly this blue light that was stationary in one spot for a good minute or more just went from 0-1,000 mph shooting off southward and climbing north into the sky by about 30 degree incline.. So, given this was near our airport- I'm wondering if this is the reason why we constantly are seeing the Warthog jets flying circles overhead almost daily since then. And I watched videos of military prototypes of flying disc and other experimental things and they cannot take off like that.. they go slow and hover and do more spy like missions. They are not capable of shooting off that fast, and military stuff doesn't emit a bright blue light in the center.

IT had several smaller lights that would approach it and than disappear. Then, it would drop or rise quickly at random. 08/12/2014

It was 8 pm on a clear night in August, although I can't recall the exact date in August. But I do remember it being very clear that night, because as I was standing outside the bingo hall with another person I had mentioned it to her and then looked to my right and saw 3 star like objects in a perfect triangle formation. What struck me odd about these lights was the fact that A) They were in a perfect triangle formation and B) They were a yellowish orange color and quite bigger than any normal star. But as we started to talk I thought "well, I guess it's just a strange looking star that I have never seen before," but then something very odd happened. The "star" closest to us which would've been the one at the top point of the triangle shape broke apart from formation and began to move slowly towards us. It continued to move like this, until it was right above us and out of site beyond the building. I was stunned. I don't know whether this w! as truly a UFO or not. But it was strange that it moved so slowly away from us after staying put for so long. So, I don't know whether anyone can offer me any explanations or similar accounts, but I would be intrigued to find out. Witness indicates that the date is approximate. PD

I walked a buddy out to his car. As I looked up, I saw a bright ,white , spot of light ,moving across the sky.I noticed it made no noise,and at six p.m. It's pretty quiet here. It seemed to be moving to slow to be a plane ,there were no running lights and it wasn't shooting a beam of light like a spotlight on a helicopter. I pointed it out to my friend and we watched it for about a minute together ,agreed it was strange ,and parted ways. I continued to observe the light for about another five minutes ,until it just disappeared into the clouds, in a north north Easterly,direction. This is the third time I've seen this same?object in the last year .

I saw an unusually bright star (object 1) which made me take notice, it was solid blue amd stationary. I thought there was nothing special after all, but then saw an inch away on the horizon, a set of double red lights (object 2). I watched the red lights begin fast blinking blue, then red, and travel in a non-linear path northwest-north until out of view. Then I saw a cut of light such as a shooting star right where I saw the light disappear, in the SW direction it came from, approx. 2-3 inch long. The same type of light appeared a about an inch from the star, and followed a similar path until out of view, north to northwest with no change in direction (object 3). My mother is on the computer, I tell her to come look, amd she witnesses the rest of the event. A bright blue fast blinking light follows a similar path until out of view (object 4.) These all happened at uneven intervals, number 4 appeared after approx. 10 minutes of nothing happening. Another bright blue fast blinking object appears, and follows the same path as the others did (object 5.) Then (object 1) BRIGHT blue solid light suddenly begins moving and following the same path, which shocks me, I thought it was only a star. Once it is out of view, one more set of double red lights appears (object 6) begins blinking red and blue, and follows the same path, potentially faster. I'd say each object took 45 seconds moving across the sky until object 1 moved, object 1 and 6 took about 30 seconds each. Several varying minutes passed between each object appearing, object one was constant in one place until it moved, the whole time of the event. I only had my tablet on hand and tried to take a video, but it was too dark.

New Hampton, NH
I was driving SB on I-93 between Ashland and New Hampton, when to my right I saw a streak of white light heading down below the treeline. Started about a quarter mile up at a point and the streak widened as it went over the treeline. The streak had defined edges to it. If I had to guess, it would have landed in the vicinity between Bristol and New Hampton, near 106. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. PD

Boston, MA
In Boston, Massachusetts, at around 9:20 am (sic. p.m.), I saw a white light traveling from east-southeast to west-northwest. It was about twice as large and bright as the few stars visible through light pollution and clouds. It flashed once about a quarter of the way across the sky. At around the middle of the sky its path crossed two others, similar in size, traveling from the opposite direction, though not parallel. Their trajectories didn’t meet exactly, but when they were close they shook slightly, and continued on their paths. All were visible until below the horizon, which was obstructed by trees and buildings. There was at least one plane in the sky during this, to the north and heading west.

Enfield (Southwood Acres), CT
Around 11:00 PM, me and my friend looked up and noticed a very bright object hovering at high altitudes in the airspace. At first, we thought it was a star, but after looking at it for about 20 minutes we noticed the UFO was flashing, and very, very slowly moving across the sky. The UFO had not left our sight until around 1:30 AM, when we noticed the object had disappeared out of the sky completely. From about 11:00 PM - 1:30 PM, the UFO was just SLOWLY moving across the sky, until it disappeared from sight. It was torturous to see, because I'll never know why the object was slowly hovering over my hometown for HOURS. Maybe it was moving so slow to avoid detection by us humans, well, that's the only explanation I have for it. Twinkling star, we wonder? PD

I had just gone out onto my back porch at 10:30pm to let my dog out, before going to bed, and she was acting weird. She tried to ram her head through the screen door to get outside (she never does this!), and as I opened the screen door, I immediately saw three glowing orange balls in the sky flying west to east. I screamed for my husband and son who both came running and witnessed the glowing orange lights. They were flying in a triangle formation and were making no noise at all. They were flying approximately 200 meters off the ground (maybe a little less) and travelled in a north east direction at a steady rate of speed. Then a fourth orange glowing light flew in from the south west towards the three lights that were still flying in formation. Then the three in formation blinked out and were gone suddenly. The fourth glowing ball continued flying north east in the direction of the three that disappeared and then it stopped and floated without moving at! all for about 10 seconds and then it blinked out. The night was clear and there was a full moon out. My husband and I are skeptics by nature and definitely NOT UFO fanatics but there is no rational explanation for what we saw last night, other than a UFO. WHAT are these things?

Phoenix, AZ
There was something in the air above north Phoenix/Scottsdale that had a very bright light moving back and forth. It was a ‘rolling light’ back and forth; it didn’t go from one right light to one left light, for example. The light was significantly brighter than any plane and it was facing west. After either heading west or staying in one place (I couldn’t tell), it turned and flew south. I could still see the light as it traveled at a significantly faster speed than when I saw the light head on. The object moved significantly faster than a plane and after watching it fly south for a while, the light just went away. Please confirm if anyone else witnessed this. Witness provides little contact information. PD

I was sitting on my front stairs at 4:45am, looking toward the sky to watch the Perseid Meteor Shower. I was facing north-east looking up at roughly a 45 degree angle. I noticed a few meteors falling from the sky, and then my eye caught a bright light which looked just like a star, moving rather quickly from my left to right. It popped into sight from behind some trees, moved very rapidly across my field of vision, and disappeared to my right when I could no longer see past my house. What makes me believe it was not a meteor is that for the whole 10-15 seconds that I was able to look at it, it moved in a perfectly straight line, it was moving too slow to be a meteor, but too fast and high to be an airplane. Also, it didn't get brighter, or fade out. It remained consistent in brightness and speed the whole time.

Le témoin promène ses chiens à 23h25 lorsqu'il observe deux points lumineux blancs qui se suivent dans le ciel, à grande vitesse. Un seul témoignage est recueilli. La description du phénomène faite par le témoin évoque nettement le passage de deux satellites, dont un gros. Une vérification sur Calsky confirme que la Station Spatiale Internationale (ISS) était bien visible à ce moment là, accompagnée du cargo spatial européen ATV5 qui se préparait à son amarrage le 12 août 2014. Ce cas d'observation, parfaitement identifié, est classé "A" : observation de l'ISS et du cargo ATV5. [GEIPAN classification A — ISS]

At approximately 11:30 pm, I witnessed a bright orange light to the northwest, right above the elementary school. It was moving from west to east at a fairly decent speed. I noticed the orange light starting to pulsate when it was crossing directly in front of me. Then the light just disappeared.

Cape May, NJ
It was decently close and silent and it disappeared and reappeared and was bright red and didn't have blinking lights like a plane and it totally moved around in the sky in a weird/unexplainable way until it disappeared into the distance (although it actually seemed more like it vanished because I it didn't seem to fly away until it was gone.) It actually was heading right towards us, but totally turned away and seemed be moving slowing in an unexplainable way. It was indeed pretty far away. We saw it over a cornfield, but I think not directly over i. It seams to dim from bright red to white. I filmed it but it's essentially just a pixelated red dot in the sky. I also later saw a plane go past about where the ufo was and I could hear the sound of the plane in the distance even father from where the ufo had been, but the ufo still made no sound when I saw it earlier.

THUS, DURING A CLOUDLESS, CLEAR, STARRY NIGHT, WITH VERY LITTLE WIND OR HAZE, WITNESSED A SINGLE GLOWING OBJECT COMING FROM THE SOUTH TOWARDS US, ABOUT 2 MILES AWAY, COMING NORTH, ESTIMATING ABOUT 2000 FEET UP, AND RISING SLOWLY, WHILE DROPPING A FEW SPARKS NOW AND THEN. IT LOOKED LIKED IT COULD HAVE BEEN A SMALL PLANES ENGINE BURNING SOME SAID, OR LIKE A NEIGHBOR SAID, A POSSIBLE BURNING 'CHINESE LANTERN', RELEASED BY SOMEONE ON THE GROUND. I TOOK A SNAPSHOT OF IT WITH MY CELL PHONE, BUT IT WAS TOO SMALL TO SEE IT, AND AS I WAS READY TO CALL 9-11 AND REPORT IT, IT THEN ROSE VERY HIGH IN THE SKY, GETTING VERY SMALL AND JUST VANISHED OUT OF SIGHT. TWO MINUTES LATER MY SISTER IN LAW YELLED OUT THAT A 'SECOND' LIGHT JUST LIKE THE FIRST ONE WAS ON A SIMILAR PATH AND IT DID THE SAME THING AS THE FIRST. AS WE ALL WATCHED IN EXCITED AMAZEMENT, AS THIS WAS NO COINCIDENCE WE THOUGHT, AS IT TOO ROSE SLOWLY 'UP' AND BLINKED OUT. WE ALL SAW A SATELLITE GO BY, SOUTH TO NORTH VERY HIGH UP. (MY BROTHER WHO LIVES THERE SEES THEM ALL THE TIME, HE TOLD US), AS WE ALL WATCHED THE SKY AS A GROUP FROM EVERY DIRECTION. NOTHING MORE WAS SEEN AND WE TALKED ABOUT PERSONAL OTHER "SIGHTING" THE REST OF THE EVENING. ...END.

At around 4am, humming and vibration were felt, followed by 3 burst of bright blue and greenish lights in the sky. The lights were electrifying and made a crackling sound. The lights literally lit up the sky in a about a second duration. There were a few minutes of pause between each bursts. There was a final burst of yellow lights in the sky at 4:45 am, which cause my phone to ring for a split second then dead silence and nothing else happened.

I was on my way home from a friend's house at two in the morning and about halfway home, I saw a light shoot down from the sky all the way behind the tree-line. I assumed it was a shooting star so I made a wish. I eventually made it to my house and as I'm driving down my driveway, I notice a strange blinking light of all different colors. It looked like it was fidgeting like an insect would. I stared at it for a while looking for any hints as to find out what it was, but it never moved so it couldn't have been an airplane. I called both of my parents outside and they saw it too. It was hard to see it because of the distance but you could tell the colors definitely included red, white, and a blueish green. I called my friends from a city away and they saw the same thing. We also noticed that there was another one not too far to the right. They both looked exactly the same. We stayed out there for about an hour and noticed that very slowly they were traveling upward.

Forest Grove, OR
Objects in opposite ends of the big dipper stayed in 1 position for an hour then object on the right of the big dipper started moving at a slow pace clock wise and took a higher altitude. Then object to the left of the big dipper finally moved after hours in the same location and once it moved it moved at an incredible pace. Flew west towards the coast and out of site within minutes of it moving. Both objects blinking multiple colors in no particular pattern. Nor did either object fly in a straight line or in a matter of trying to get to a certain location at a particular time. Object to the left of the big dipper is now gone and out of site, while the object to the right of the big dipper is still roughly in the same location it started in. Except for it moved from about a 12 o' clock position to a 2 o' clock position to the NE.

Several bright red lights moving slowly up in the sky - when one got so far ‘up’ another one would appear and follow the same path. At least four that we saw total, and only two at the same time.
