Kihei, HI
It appeared low on the western horizon between Kihei and Lanai over the water. It flew straight up slowly but faster than a helicopter could fly straight up then it paused for a 20 seconds and then slowly flew straight down. It disappeared below the rooftop but appeared to fly into the water although because of the roofline I did not see entry. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Las Vegas, NV
On vacation staying at Aria hotel. Here for jewelry convention. Relaxing in pool looking up at very small wispy clouds. Mostly blue sky. Watching a few planes very high and not so high in the sky. Saw a bright stationary object very high in the sky. Looked like a very bright star that was not moving. It flashed very bright. I showed my son and he saw it also. Showed couple next to us from new jersey. Showed to guys from Scotland and pool waitress. She did not know what it was. First object was stationary then very slowly tracked behind aria hotel. Couple from NJ saw a brighter stationary object in the sky. Thus one was also stationary. Got very bright then dimmed somewhat. Went on for a few minutes. It would have been brightest star in the sky flashing if it was not in the middle of the bright day. It was up very high not moving. Lasted a couple minutes. A few high flying planes passed at same time. They left con trail and we're moving. It eventually went dim and disappeared. Helicopters going to and from grand crayon flying every few minutes. Not a helicopter. Everyone thinks it was a stationary drone. Not sure.

Hubby and I laying in our new backyard. Watched what we thought was a star or satellite change direction, move faster or slower, finally stop, and seem to get dimmer, as if moving higher and out of sight.

San Jose, CA
It was truly beautiful. My daughter was very frighted. As we got home I noticed it was still hovering moving slowly northbound to Hwy 101. I wanted to take a video but my daughter told me to get inside and lock the door. This is not the first time we had seen this light nor will it be the last.

Albuquerque, NM
The sighting looks a lot like a star, but when I look through binoculars I can see flashing lights of different colors. Red, white, blue, yellow. The twinkling mimics a star but stars shine with much subtler twinkling. This is the second night that I have seen this. This UFO is 20 degrees north of west. I estimate that it is west of Albuquerque and very high in the sky. It seems to just sit in one spot in the night sky. The object is about 10 to 15 degrees above the western horizon. I could be wrong. Is there a bright star in this location in the morning sky at this time? We suspect a sighting of a "twinkling" star, but cannot be certain which one the witnesses might have been observing. PD

The light was bright enough to light up a huge portion of the sky, very interested to see if anyone else saw the same thing and possibly have details I was not able to see.

Lincoln, NE
I witnessed three spheres of dingy white light traveling at incredible speed south of my home. At first the three lights were still as though they were stars then the one light furthest to the east began moving eastbound at an amazing speed. I thought maybe a satellite could be what i was seeing but no way, the object was moving way to fast (to my knowledge). Then the light furthest to the west did the exact opposite in the other direction but then curved straight up and disappeared into the sky. The third light remained stationary as if it were a star then nothing after that.I stopped watching and returned inside my home not knowing if what i had seen was ufo or something perfectly explainable. We suspect an evening sighting, and have amended the time above. PD

La Grande, OR
i witnessed an orange dot of light in the northern sky traveling from west to east. It was brighter then the surrounding stars and moved faster then a jet plane. I watched it through a good set of field glasses and did not see any flashing or marking lights like on a plane. It traveled in a straight line to the horizon and vanished into the haze over the mountains east of the city of La Grande.

Atoka, TN
I was looking up at the sky at 9 pm on May 26 and saw a light moving south to north. It was really high and moving very fast and I assumed it was a satellite, as I had seen them before with my naked eye. However, this time, as it passed over me, it slowed down and zig-zagged. I have never seen that before and then it shot off to the north very fast. I have seen lights in the sky, was able to see the international space station and have been able to identify everything I have seen, but this, this was different.

Junction City, KS
Bright circular lights flying through the sky. One came straight up and then stopped and just fastly flew the other direction. There were about 3 or 4 of the lights. They would appear and then disappear. For about 10 minutes they just flew around in the air. It seemed to be a few miles from where I was watching. The light was just a bright yellow/white looking color.

We saw 4 large orange balls traveling east to west in northern sky silently. Did anyone see these?

Fairhope, AL
Last night around 10:30 a group of 9 people witnessed strange lights moving across the sky. There was a large mass traveling north to south (according to the compass on my phone). As the lights moved across the sky, one of them would drop every few seconds. The large mass moved towards another group of lights that seemed stationary. The lights the mass moved towards were grouped in kind of a line, but all through this time a few of the lights left the formation and dropped down. After all the lights grouped together, they moved together east to west (again, a guess according to my phone), all along dropping a few along the way. We watched until they went out of sight. We all agree it was strange that the lights stayed still and came together, then changed direction and moved off together. I tried to film it with my phone, but the video just looks black. We were able to get a few pictures though and I will send those in an email as instructed below. We all took pictures and tried to record it, maybe the equipment you guys have can see it from the film, but I cannot. I thought it was the meteor shower or something, but now I’m not certain.

Warren, MI
Sunday, 05/25/2014, 22:27-22:30 EDT. Warren, MI. Three very bright lights go by overhead, one at a time. My 2 dogs were barking to go outside, so I slid open the patio door and let them out, and saw a single bright light through the tree's to the south. At first I thought it was fireworks because some people were celebrating Memorial Day, but as it continued in a straight line from south to north and got past the tree, it did not act like a firework. It moved smoothly in a straight line, much like the space station does, and appeared to be very high up, but that is just a guess because I have no reference point. I could see no structure, just a very bright light. Brighter than Venus. More like a magnesium flare type of brightness. So bright the I saw prominent spikes of light from the central bright dot of light. It was a pale orange, yellow in color, and flickered like a candle flame, from so bright that it looked like spikes coming out of it, to so dim it looked like a fading ember of coal. As I watched it fade out to the north, I notice 2 more coming along the exact same path from the south. They were spaced about 8 full moons apart, and repeated across the sky in the same manner as the first. At first I was scared, but when they did not seem to alter their path in any way, did not stop, just kept going on their way, I was excited, but did not want to leave the scene to get my camera, because by the time I found it and came back out, it would be gone.

Levittown, NY
I let my dog out each night approx the same time. At about 9:55pm I let her out into the yard. I noticed a red circular light coming from the southwest going in a straight path going to the northwest and then it just disappeared over the high school. It was a silent, singular light. We had a carnival across the street and the Bethpage Air Show at Jones Beach that weekend. I don't know if that attracted this thing. Lucky for me, my son was in the kitchen and I called him to look so I had a witness. The next night at about the same time I saw a silent circular white light along the same path but then another circular light came from the north going south and they passed each other. I couldn't watch both of them so I continued looking at the one going north. Again it disappeared over the high school. I did not have another witness for this night. The next evening the carnival was gone and there were no additional silent lights in the sky. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Rock Springs (35 miles north of), WY
My son and I camped on the north side of Steamboat Mountain in the Red desert north and east of Rock Springs, Wy. Approximately 35-40 miles. We were at approx. 8300, facing north. Off a 4wd road. We arrived at approx 8pm and started making camp before dark. My son pointed out a very bright light to the north of us at ground level. I told him that it may be a vehicle with bright lights on a dirt road in distance. Our view that night was very clear all the way to the Wind River Mountains approx. 40-50 miles. After setting up tents and making a fire we sat facing the north and almost immediately, a second light appeared and started to move erratically above the ground. A third, and fourth light appeared and would pulsate and then disappear and then reappear. Once all four lights appeared in a perfectly spaced line at approx our same altitude. Maybe a mile or two across. Perfectly spaced. At times two would come together and seem to dip below the hills and move very rapidly up and dance in the sky. I have no idea as to size so distance was hard to judge but I would guess 5-10 miles out. We watched them for 3-4 hours. No sound. At times would move farther out but would come back. Lights on and then off. We did not have binoculars and tried taking a video with IPhone. It did not come out all that well. I am in my late 50's and have spent allot of time in remote areas and have never seen anything like this. At first we were somewhat spooked but they seemed to never come closer than what I estimated above. We watched them until approx midnight and went to bed. We had no cell service, or I would have notified the sheriffs dept. that they were missing quite a show. We camped out at a lower altitude the next night facing same direction hoping that we may see them again. Nothing the second night. An expierience that I wil remember for awhile.

Midwest City, OK
I'm on the south side of SE 15th, and I was looking north, past the trees on the other side of the road. I have worked on the F-15 airframe but they don't fly out of Tinker AFB, and they don't move that fast. Object moved from west to east. With the nature of flying operations around here, I would have to rule out the heavy aircraft, and with the distance perceived and only seeing one discernable light, I would rule out any standard aircraft, following aircraft lighting regulations.

Apopka, FL
I was leaving my friends house and saw these orange lights in the sky, so I pulled over and video taped them, I thought it to be just a meteor shower but people are telling me that that is not what a shower looks like. I have seen a ufo before up close and it was amazing, but this time there were so many of them, I hope they weren't just meteorites, id feel bad for wasting your time, but I just feel the need to be vigilant... I seemed to me they would fade out once they noticed i was looking at them... Again just freaked out, if there is a reasonable explanation id love to hear it...

Fayetteville, NC
At 11:42 pm, two of my buddies and I were about to walk in to my house, when i seen a shooting star, that stopped in place. It was the size of a star, blue in color. And zipped around the sky for almost 2 minutes. Where I live is wide open sky, and I've seen many jets, plans, helicopters. And northing move as fast as this. And it would stop on a dime and the light would get dim and bright again. Then back to zipping around. My niece stepped outside and saw it and she called my dad who also saw it. I really don't know what it was. And would love to find out what it was.
