East Phoenix/Tempe, AZ
The neighborhood where I live in Tempe, Az, is in the take of and landing path of air traffic for Phoenix Sky Harbor Int’l Airport. While taking a late evening walk along my street, I happened to notice a bright light in the sky to my right or west of me. This would be the general location which air craft departing Sky Harbor would acesend. At first glance I assumed it was a commercial aircraft. I did a double take noticing that the lights or illuminations from the craft did not strobe or blink as the take off and landing lights, nor were the lights of different colors(red white, green) but a solid vibrant orange red color. The object first appears elongated as the fussolage of a commercial aircraft, but I notice the the craft is not ascending, but moving steadily towards the east and a smooth steady but greater rate of the than a commercial or private aircraft. I noticed there was no sounds of engine, after-burners or propulsion of any kind. Moving very smoo! thly and without any sound. the object maintained an eastern tragectory and into my one o’clock position from my vantage point. The object appeared to turn counterclockwise as if to face south and took an “orb” shape vs elongated cigar shape. As the craft moved to my twelve o’clock, it immediately stopped in place. It hovered in place motionless. Within 5-10 seconds of the orb hovering, white flashes light that circled the orb craft starting from the left side and traveling in swift strobe movements crossing the “front or south facing part of the craft and continues to the right side of the craft. This occurred in rapid succession 3-4 times giving it a high speed camera flash effect. After the final flash, the orb which still remains orange/red glow began and swif, vertical assertion without sounds of engine, jets or propellers. It moved vertically several thousand feet when the orange glow of the orb dimmed to almost invisible or as if it had disappeared behind clouds or contrails and then was no longer visible. Then, seconds later, less vibrant dull orange streak type lights of 3 in tandem formation painted the sky as the muted lights moved in an eastward disention with a great rate of speed- Silently towards the Salt River Reservation and the neighboring metropolitan city of Mesa, AZ.

Poway, CA
My two friends saw something strange in the sky while smoking in the back yard. One of them fetched his high powered video camera and shot a video of it. The object flashed random light patterns. It changed shape constantly. It appeared to be purple, but the outline of the object glowed green. The object moved extremely fast and would change direction on a dime. It would also change shape just as fast. It lingered in the same general sky space for quite a long time and it appears to know it is being watched for it seems to be putting on a show of some sort. Possibly attempting to communicate with the flashing light it emits? After a while it just disappears into the night.

Wesley Chapel, FL
Looking to the West at the colors of the sunset through binoculars. Notice a black shape moving in the sky at what was about 10,000 and 3-4 miles to the West (best estimate). The object was moving what looked like due north and I followed it with the binoculars. I know this sounds ridiculous but it looked like a trash bag...black and changing shape as it moved to the north. No garbage bag was at 10,000 feet blowing around. We seen what could have been the same object about 20 minutes later come from above and behind the clouds where it could be seen for a few seconds and then retreated. No lights, no color, no sound. I checked flightradar24 and there was nothing in that area...but theres absolutely no way it was a plane anyway.

Sanger, TX
2 of my friends and I were out at lake Ray Roberts in Sanger taking pictures of star trails late at night. The sky was cloudy and pretty dark, but a few minutes later, we looked over the Ray Roberts dam and saw a giant object in the sky. The object in question had a fiery hue and changed form a few times. It would get bigger and brighter and then it would shrink down to nothing and reappear. It rotated around while it was in view and had around 3 other objects of the same fiery hue fly up to it. After the 3 smaller objects flew up towards it, it vanished. While we were observing it we attempted to capture images of it. I was unsuccessful as my images were blurry but my 2 other friends managed to capture photo and video of it.

I was at a gas station taking my dog for a walk. At approx. 18:20 I saw a starfish-shaped object floating and changing shape. It was covered in small bright red colored lights. Floating quickly. It was visible for 11 seconds and quickly disappeared. It made no noise.

Redding, CA
Eastern Shasta County, directly east from Redding, California, towards Lassen Volcanic Park. Bright "star" like object spotted in night sky for several months. With Naked eye looks like very bright star. With binoculars it actually is a many lights array configuration, shaped in a rather egg shape sphere, sort of like a huge honeycomb. All Lights pulsate and are positioned precisely throughout the sphere, not just the edges. The actual sphere appears to be static, not flying or moving. Lights are sometimes all white, sometimes lights are red, blue, green, purplish, and white. There is a larger light that goes around the outer rim of the configuration, seems to be pulsating-signaling. As of December we have noticed more than one of these, at least (3) nightly, light configurations hanging in space in the vicinity of the Lassen Mountain-Cascade range. Time frame that they are seen is normally around 9:30 p.m. to around 7:30 a.m. On Friday, December 6, 2018, one of the arrays emitted what looked like a mirror image of itself, and that mirror image pulsated-floated off towards the north. Original configuration remained static in place. Anyone know what these light arrays are? Could not get a photo with my Canon EOS 60D. Sorry. Thanks for the help in informing us what these might be.

Terre Haute, IN
My grandmother and I were on our way home from my doctor's appointment, we started driving down exit 7 off of 70 when we could see a large object hovering above the street lights. I asked her "Is that a helicopter? What is that?" And she said "It's probably a helicopter." As we got closer we could definitely tell it was not a helicopter. It was black, a triangle shape but also kind of diamond shaped, like it had a belly/rounded bottom and top (sorry it's hard to explain the shape it was so unusual), with orange lights around the edges. My mind kept repeatedly telling me it was just a helicopter even though I knew it wasn't, and I just kinda froze in place as I stared at it. My grandma kept saying "get your camera, take a picture!" And I just couldn't move I was so shocked at what I was seeing. We drove through the intersection with the other cars, and made our way back home. Then we just kind of forgot about it up until recently. There's no way the other cars didn't see it. I said there were only 2 witnesses, my grandma and I, but there were at least 4-5 other cars with us, and idk how many more before us/after us that had to of seen it.

Danbury, CT
Saw this very bright light in the sky and it seemed to change colors, took out my camera which has a very good zoom and zoomed in as far as it went. When looking at it closely, it was a very bright sphere, that kept changing colors and disappearing every 5 seconds. Everytime it disappeared, it took the form of an atom. The color change and disappearance were very fast. I was amazed with the shape it had, looked like an atom, full of circles around it.. I have a couple of videos!

Nashville, TN
One disappeared, then the second one dropped down like a comet, and changed its shape back to a horizontal shape and disappeared, then, the 3rd one disappeared. We received another report about this sighting from a resident of the Nashville area, who reports that there were a number of comments about it on social media pages. We believe the correct date of the sighting should be November 17, 2018, but will confirm that possibility with the source of this report. We have temporarily amended the date, to reflect a sighting on November 17, 2018. PD

Driving northbound 75 from Tampa to Ocala, right around midnight, passing mile marker 296, directly to my west (left), I saw I bright green round light fall from the sky, it appeared from nowhere. When it hit our atmosphere, there was a giant colorful explosion of a golden, red and green - shaped like and old time spinning top or giant, old-fashioned Christmas ball, with pointed ends and horizontal lines - through the fog - and fell apart into bigger pieces as it hit the Gulf.

Belfield (north of), ND
I got up before 5 am MT on November 9th, 2018 as is usual for me. When I looked out my window I saw several lights moving slowly down and around the hill in my pasture. I immediately went outside to get a better look and indeed there were 5-6 separate lights that I assumed to be from UTV’s and/or ATV’s. Knowing they had to be trailered in as there is no road access, I went back inside to get a coat, boots (there was a light coating of snow) and of course coffee before heading down the hill to see who it was. I was in no hurry knowing they couldn’t get out of there quickly due to the Badlands terrain. Returning to the shop I took out the truck and I was now visible to them with shop lights on and headlights. At this point I saw a much larger vehicle I assumed to be a big semi-truck, turn on its lights and it also had several amber “curtesy” lights above the headlights. My intention was to go down and get a photo of the license plate. About 30 minutes had passed and they were still out there. They made no sound, were non-threatening and my dogs did not bark nor were the horses upset. I then videotaped the lights on my phone which were still moving slowly around my pasture as if they were looking for something. At the time, I believed they were “shining” for deer or poaching. Not being able to drive directly down the hill due to the snow cover I went around to the back gate, which took about 2 minutes, to get a picture of the trailer they had to be hauled in on. It was still dark but there was some moon reflection off the snow. I found nothing at the back gate. No truck or trailer, no tracks, nothing, so I went to the neighbors on the opposite side of the hill to see if they were parked up there. Again, nothing. I went back home and the lights were gone. About 45 minutes had passed and it was starting to get light. I drove all around my property, about 10 miles or more, looking for tracks how they got in. Nothing. No tracks anywhere, at any point, no evidence whatsoever that anyone had been in my landlocked pasture. The only evidence I have are the photos captured from the video I made. The photos are of machines like nothing I have ever seen; nor any person I have shown them too. I notified law enforcement and posted it on Facebook.

Fire Island (Watch Hill), NY
This particular light stuck out though, yellowish beam dead center over the ocean in the sky sort of growing in brightness to the scale of a small circle you would make with your pointer tucked into your thumb. The strange thing was that it was sort of still in space. As we kept an eye on it at one moment it diminished to the point of seemingly being gone before reappearing again. We watched it alone for about 10 minutes maybe before our friends walked back and joined us. They had also now seen this said light. I don’t believe we pointed it out to them. At the time we were still unclear if it was anything worth chatting about. That said we were all now focused on it. Around this point, the beam was no longer fading away, only getting stronger. It remained around the same size, but now it was lighting up the ocean as though it were the moon. We were all mesmerized as to how an airplane in the sky would be so bright as to light up the ocean like the moon. Here is where it gets wild. Suddenly this beam just came at us or to us like the snap of your finger. It was no longer lingering and just came to us. I didn't hear any sound of a ship. It was almost like a ship coming that appeared now appeared dually as a drone like object. It is though to describe because I have never seen anything like this. I will try my best. As this ship came at us a drone seemingly came down, but the drone in my eyes was only visible in the moment the ship was crossing over us, almost like it was in two places at once. For me it appeared as a vertical infinity sign without the bottom loop closed, silvery, shimmery, and almost like a glimmer. It looked like it came down and scanned us or looked at us. I thought it was maybe 15-20 feet away but a friend of mine said 100. To me it seemed extremely close and as it came to us and the ship was passing the aircraft did this magical thing where it turned into something like a shiny silvery stick figure of lights on the ship that lit up as it crossed over us making a walking stick figure light show. It was all very overwhelming. It is hard to say if it controlled our emotion (full elation) or if we were just all in awe of what was happening which is also likely. 5 people who all use a phone regularly didn't even think to pull our phones out. We were completely awestruck at its visiting us. I almost think we scared it away in our excitement. As the now certainly UFO passed us, we all watched as within seconds it passed and was now over Long Island. I specifically remember now it was a red light we were following upon crossing us and passing. I also remember as we watched it go away to Long Island it than made a left as if to turn around and then simply stopped and hung still. Now a red beam over Long island that we were all watching. I don’t recall what happened to it, if it disappeared or if we started looking for more… You have to understand how overwhelming this was. We were in shock and maybe not making best decisions (of course now we all wish we took pics). We spent awhile after this searching for maybe another ship because a friend of ours who grew up on Long Island and frequented Fire Island throughout her life had described a similar sighting to another friend with us prior to our witnessing this event. Her sighting was not nearly as close as this one though. So now there we are thinking maybe we can get another one to come. Also I don’t know if its vain to think we lulled it in, but my partner had given everyone a flashlight which we had been shining at the ocean in random order just for fun not thinking anything of it. Also at the beginning when it was just him and I he spotted it and was whispering to me saying it likes me … he sensed that it was gonna come to us. He may have even said watch, it likes me as it zero’d in on us. Ok to back track a bit. This half infinity like glimmer, drone, orb, but was nothing like anything I have ever seen with my own eyes. I am doing my best to relay my memory to paper. It is possible it controlled our emotion. That's really it. It was a slow build, and than it happened so fast. It didn't move like an airplane or in any earthly way for that matter. It moved in its own space and time. I am not certain my friends witnessed the part where the ship above seemingly lit up in a stick figure dancing bye light show while passing. I will try and get them to write their experience as well. I hope one or two of them are willing. Thank you for your time! Watch Hill is closed until next summer. I freaking wish I could be back their right now to keep an eye out. Oh, also we had a dog with us that was super spooked after the event. Its owner said it never acted that way before. The dog tried to stop us from walking home by jumping at sand pulling us back as well as going in front of us as if to say do not walk this way.

Winthrop, MA
Apparently those shapes of multiple lights shining over Boston harbor high up are coming from whatever that ship is that’s been floating around in Boston outer harbor or docked off of one of Boston harbor islands. If you look at the bright white lights with binoculars you can see the stream of laser lights shining upward towards the sky and then making these oval shaped rings of multi colors in the ring. Also that low flying plane with disco lights wasn’t a hoax. It appeared to be some kind of military plane that had a bunch of green lasers in the shape of a cone shining down to the ground. Further searching on web revealed that they are used for topography and also used for searching premises for explosives and narcotics. So much for search warrants.

Sloan, NV
At approximately 10:15 hours, Pacific time on 10/27/2018 while camping on the Jean Dry Lake Bed in Sloan NV (just outside of Las Vegas) I was watching the air traffic to and from LAS. I noticed a bright, seemingly stationary ball which appeared to be at or above the 30,000' mark (over the contrails of passing jets) I grabbed my Nikon D5200 DSLR with a 200mm lens and took ~200 photos in both .jpeg and .nef. The object, to the naked eye, appeared spherical. However, upon reviewing the images, it seemed to change shape from spherical to that of a cylinder with 3 to 4 separate sections, to that of a boomerang shape. The object was traveling East - North East towards southern Las Vegas. Apparently, NWS launched a weather balloon at 0851 hours - however, this was an hour later, and the object was traveling towards Henderson, not away from it. I and another adult observed the object for approximately 10 minutes until it gained altitude and was no longer visible. I have 186 .nef photos of the object. (( We have looked at several of the high-quality photos, and we do not know for sure what the object is
