Kaysville, UT
Daughter noticed strange strobing light pulses in the southern sky. Alerted myself and wife and we watched for 2-3 minutes as the lights spread out to the east and west of the original location then slowly faded until could no longer be seen.

Clearwater, FL
On Indian Rocks Beach, It Looked like a star, until it started moving, rapid acceleration sometimes a streak, then static. Another appeared in the clouds and the lights danced, one light disappeared and the remaining light had an aura for a few seconds. It accelerated across the sky and performed some erratic movements. Then it was still and moving slowly. The light seem to drop in altitude under the clouds and was still for a while. My date was scared and wanted to leave. We watched it a few more minutes zip around then a a yellow light came at us low and it was dark over the water, we weren't sure what it was until it turned left and went the other way then it was apparent it was a helicopter because of a blinking light.

Zanesville, OH
Keep watching it then it started going into this orange then white as it got bigger it was almost in the trees in the NNW and it looked very round and it keep getting lower. When I called for people to look and tell me what it could be it got really small and then just looked like a red dot. This is not the first time I have seen this I seen it earlyer this year not sure what it is. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Boston, NY
The 4 of us were hanging out at my dads and we noticed how clear the sky was. We saw some planes and such but then noticed very small looking lights (they looked pretty high) cruising across the sky. A little faster than youd see an airliner go over but these looked much higher. The weird part that made us think that they were not planes was that they seemed to wobble or swerve back and forth. We all noticed it fairly quick. The first one went across and disappeared and then another came over and did the same in a perpendicular direction. Possible hoax, we suspect. We cannot find a "Boston, NY," and the date supplied by the witness is flawed. We have amended the date above. PD

Black Canyon City, AZ
At 8:45 PM, I was in the parking lot of family dollar in Black Canyon City, waiting for my family to come out of the store, when in the east there was a bright orange light. I looked in the car for my binoculars on the seat in the 2 seconds it took to do that the light was in the North immediately over head.. I watched it quickly fly away.. At that time my family came out of the store.. In the east we all witnessed two bright orange lights parallel to each other then they turned together and slowly their lights faded away.. That was at 8:50 about 5 minutes after the one I encountered. Five minutes later the same thing happened with two lights. It looked like one craft very very large at 9:00 we did not see anything else. When it turned it was without a doubt one craft it looks like the wings were tilting to gain altitude.

Pearl River, NY
I brought my dog to the back yard to go to the bathroom at night and as soon as we got outside I saw a short red beam ascending, which I discarded because I didn't see it clearly. After watching the sky for a few minutes I then saw a white light travel from the top of the sky to the ground, descending in 2 to 3 seconds, while comming down sideways, faster than anything I've ever seen travel in the sky. The light was bright and left no stream and had no tail. I am skeptical about UFO sightings and stories, but I saw something strange tonight.

Newport, OR
This observation took place after midnight around 12:30 am but I couldn't get the time entered correctly in box provided. I live across HiWay 101 not far from the beach. I went out on my balcony to smoke a cigarette and looked towards the ocean through the trees surrounding my home and I noticed some orange round lights drifting through the sky. At first there were maybe 5 or 6 of these lights. As I continued to watch more and more lights appeared coming from the area of the beach and ocean. At one point there were probably 20 lights visible to me. As I looked towards the horizon more of these lights appeared. In all I would say there were 50 or more of these lights. My background is Psychiatric Emergency Specialist, and I am also a Social Worker.

Riverside, CA
It was traveling South to North, at what seemed slower then most of the air traffic in the area and at a higher altitude. It seemed awkward because all the local air traffic travels East to west. I have witnessed Satellites before and they appeared to move at a faster speed. The object I witnessed could be seen with the naked eye and was traveling slower than anything I have witnessed before, but the path was very specific, not like a weather balloon.

Parkland, FL
It was an overcast, hazy evening on Saturday, June 14, 2014, at 10:41 PM. The full moon was barely visible, no stars either. I was driving west towards the Everglades in Parkland, Florida. I looked up and there was a cluster of bright white lights, perhaps a hundred. They were moving very slowly, in unison from north to south. I stared at them for two to three minutes, wondering what it could possibly be. As I was making my turn they started to gradually disappear.

Long Beach, CA
Approx. 10:30 in the eve I stepped outside to smoke a cigarette, I normally see air traffic from the airport and view the skies often, this eve I was looking up toward the ocean beach are and noticed an odd light, it wasn't a helicopter or plane of any type. What brought my attention, it was abnormal in color and flickering and standing still just above the horizon. I watched for a few moments then at an unbelievable speed it zipped to the left and stopped, I knew because of the speed it moved it was something to watch. it sat there for a few moments then zipped again this time towards my location, that's when I thought to myself this thing has amazing speed, then all of a sudden it zipped up at an angle again towards my location traveling so fast it disappeared to what must have been the upper atmosphere, it wasn't falling it was climbing at such a speed, that nothing I have ever seen before compared to it. Then 2 days later the local news stations reported! UFO's spotted on or around that same time frame

Racine, WI
I had an interesting sighting last night, Saturday June 14, 2014, at 10:15 pm. I am on the north side of Racine, WI, very close to Lake Michigan. My husband and I saw two orange lights traveling across the western sky from south to north. They were positioned one on top of the other. They were at the top of the tree level. No sooner had they crossed behind a tree, another orange light approached from the south. This happened 2 more times for a total of 5 orange lights, slow moving south to north, until they appeared on the other side of the tree, then they turned northwest. There was no sound, nor any blinking lights or strobes. We waited for more, but saw nothing else.

St. Louis (Webster Groves), MO
Multiple bright “cool” bluish white lights, all in a line – not sure how many, approx. five to seven – just a short window in which to view. Initially thought it was from fireworks, but quickly became aware that the lights were moving in unison heading west towards sunset – it was still light enough in the western sky to see there was no visible structure between the lights – the lights were not connected and were moving forward in perfect unison. We were driving south on Laclede Station Road in Webster Groves, Mo –a suburb of St. Louis, Missouri. We tried to get to a better vantage point, but were not able to find them again. We’re not sure about the spacing of the lights. They did not appear to blink or strobe. No vapor trail or tail. Could not determine sound because we were in a car. The overall span approx. 600 ft.

Denver, CO
We were at DIA catching a flight to Boston. Our flight had been delayed for several hours due to mechanical errors and then poor weather conditions, so we were on the runway waiting to depart along with several other airplanes that were also delayed. Our plane was just sitting on the runway waiting for other planes to lift off. I was looking out the window watching how many planes were just sitting there as it was a really weird to see 8-10 planes lined up like that. It was then that I noticed a small bright light becoming larger and brighter at around 3000 ft and about a ¼ of a mile away from our plane. I think we were looking towards the South, but I don’t know that for sure. It was too low to be a planet or star and it was most definitely not a plane or helicopter as it sat stationary. I asked my friend sitting next to me what she thought it was and she said she thought it was a satellite. I laughed and said that there was no way it could be a satellite as it was just sitting there and the fact that it was so low and bright, that no satellite could do that, so I kept watching. This is where it got really weird. It first appeared as a small white-yellowish light that became larger and brighter right in front of my eyes. Then it became about the size of a dime (a little smaller actually) at arm’s length. It sat there for about 45-60 seconds, moved a little to the left, and then it disappeared. I pointed out to my friend that it just disappeared and she said, “Well, that’s not a satellite then!” I kept looking to see if it would come back and it did! This time, it did the exact same thing as before, starting out as small, got bigger and brighter, stayed put for a bit, and then moved to the left, and then it disappeared again. But this time, my friend saw it come back and watched it do exactly what I described the first time. We were blown away as it seemed to be observing all the aircrafts lined up waiting to take off. As we were complaining about just sitting on the runway with no movement, it came back a 3rd time and made itself known in the exact same fashion as the previous events. This time I took a picture of it with my new phone. I haven’t figured out a way to make the picture bigger or clearer yet, but I’m excited to see what it’ll look like once I do. Also, the following night in Cape Cod, I and 2 other friends had another sighting that just blew our minds! I’ll make another report for that sighting under the state of Massachusetts in a little while.

Hobart, IN
Me and my fiance were sitting outside when a ball of light appeared from the south at the treeline heading north faster then anything I've ever seen in the sky. During its path, the object changed color from orange to red constantly until it appeared to stop its northern progress and move away from the earth. It then appeared to start slowly fading in and out until it appeared to leave the atmosphere. No sound was heard by either of us from the object; it was too far away, I'm assuming.

Taking photos of the moon on Friday the 13th, 2014, to send to my wife. I captured three objects moving from left to right only after the photos were taken did I notice them. I cannot explain what they were but the were NOT in any particular formation. Simply staggered high to low and not in a straight line. I have photos to show the objects.

Wolfforth, TX
I was standing outside on back patio deck staring South off what I was certain was the Big Dipper. While fixated on the sky an unusual circle of light appeared and came right at me. The light was blueish in color and hollow in the middle like the shape of a doughnut. At first I thought it was a falling star or a meteor coming right at me. The light became about the size of a vollyball before vanishing right before my eyes. This happened all in about 7-8 seconds that I could account for. I wasn't sure if what happened was really happening. I told my wife about it 2 days later because it has troubled me since.

Corolla, NC
I was carrying some of our luggage out of our rental vacation house the night before we left for home. On one of the trips to the car I noticed in the distance several bright orange lights approaching from the southwest. The lights appeared orange in color and I thought at the time they would probably turn out to be the red and green wing lights of an aircraft, once they got closer and I could see more detail. I soon could see that there were three orange lights each separated by perhaps a half mile. They moved one after the other towards the northeast and then each in turn seemed to turn more northward in direction. I thought anytime now I would see the flashing strobes of the planes, as we had seen various private and military aircraft all week. The strobes never appeared, only a very bright intense orange light which never wavered. I have since read reports of “Chinese lanterns” being released in the past, while researching what I had seen, but I find it hard to believe the quality of the light I witnessed was the flickering of a candle. In addition the height and speed of the objects approximated that of the aircraft I had been seeing in the preceding days. The first orange light flew almost directly overhead and while I listened intently for the sound of an engine there was total silence except for the occasional sound of thunder from a lightning storm just to my northwest. I turned to ask one of our traveling companions to take a look and then looked back at the lights and the third light had disappeared, I don’t know what happened to it as I had only turned away for a second. However, as the second orange light passed by, there was an extended lightning strike from the storm which lit up the sky. I could see nothing but the second orange light with no shape or body connected to it. But moving across the sky behind it was a black or dark grey shadow that seemed to pulsate and change shapes stretching first longways and then sideways in an alternating fashion. I then lost sight of all three objects.

Le 13 juin 2014 à 0h56 un témoin observe les étoiles avec son nouveau télescope et découvre deux points brillants qui se déplacent conjointement (même distance entre eux). Il le perd de vue définitivement dans le ciel très étoilé. Le témoin rapporte son étonnement devant les évolutions particulières du Pan. Un seul témoignage est recueilli. Le témoin fournit des croquis et une photographie. D’étrangeté faible et de bonne consistance (témoin unique, mais nombreux repères astronomiques et photo), ce cas s'avère être une méprise avec un duo particulier de satellites : un doublet de satellites militaires américains NOSS-3 6. Le PAN présente en effet toutes les caractéristiques type d’un tel doublet : luminosité, écart angulaire, trajectoire et horaire parfaitement cohérents (voir les notes d'enquête). La photographie ne montre vraisemblablement pas le PAN, mais seulement la zone où celui-ci a disparu. L’étoile double 16 Cygni, apparaissant ici sous la forme de deux points rapprochés, a certainement été interprétée par le témoin comme étant le PAN. Les phases d’arrêts du PAN peuvent s’expliquer par la discontinuité de l’observation : disparition provisoire du PAN à cause de l’éclat de la Lune et présence de nombreuses étoiles. Ce cas est classé A, méprise avec le duo de satellites militaires américains NOSS-3 6 (A) et (B). [GEIPAN classification A — Satellite]

A brilliant white light passed over my back garden from north to south. The sky was perfectly clear. The light was in a perfect straight line with no sound. The object was in our atmosphere as it was brighter and much larger than any star or satellite emitting an 8 point like lense flare/rays. It took a minute to disappear into the distance keeping the same strength but getting smaller as it got further away. The light was emitting like a ball rather than directional as an aroplane would do. I have never seen such a vibrant white ball of light like this.

Orange light appeared as far away as an airplane would have been but then disappeared and reappeared further away but in a straight line, traveling West to east... Then appeared again and disappeared in the same way.. Continued to happen 2 more times until house across from us was in the way. About 5 minutes later, my 7 year old daughter saw a strange octagon shaped flash of light in the sky, about at the same level I had seen lights, she was not aware of what I had witnessed earlier.

It was a orange light that appeared in the sky and slowly faded away, as it came closer to me, but not really close, maybe 1 block away in my neighborhood, after coming my way. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Goldendale, WA
The weather was warm and the children and I decided to camp outside on our trampoline for the night in our backyard. There were clear skies that night. The stars were brilliant as we lay on the trampoline. The children and I witnessed about 100, what appeared to be 'stars,' moving about the skies. They moved sporadically and they would get brighter and then appear to burn out and disappear after moving around the skies for several seconds. There was one after another. They would appear and carry on in the same fashion. We called them 'bobbles'. This went on about an hour and a half, in which we then decided to sleep in the house instead. This was the week before the war in Israel started with Hamas.

Plano, TX
Saw a yellow light in sky coming from the North around 12:30 am from my kitchen window. Went to sleep and awoke around 1AM. Saw a ball of light in the bedroom change into several hooded creatures who had grey skin. I saw no more and blacked out. The next morning I had unexplained scratches and bruises on my arms and back, along with a nosebleed. We cannot certify that this report is a serious one. We have attempted, on three occasions, to reach the witness via telephone, and we have been unsuccessful in our attempt to speak with him. Possible hoaxed report, we wonder. PD
