Powell River (Canada), BC · Canada
On July 29th, 2019, a friend and I were sitting on a blanket on the lawn of a B & B in the little town of Powell River, British Columbia. The B & B is a block from Marine Avenue, which runs along the sea coast. My friend since high school is a web designer and entrepreneur; I am a working musician. We are both 51 years old. The previous night had been clear and the stars bright, and I had witnessed a spectacular shooting star. I was hoping for a repeat, but we were disappointed by the intermittent cloud cover and slight haziness in the air on this night. The clouds were drifting very slowly to the East. There was no moon and the night was still and silent. Some time between 1:10 am and 1:13 am--now the morning of the 30th--my friend nudged my shoulder, and directed my attention to the sky. Clearing the treetops, a strange light formation glided silently into view, traveling in a straight line from East to West, towards the ocean and directly over our heads. I felt there was no time to fiddle with my phone--and I doubted it would capture the object anyway -- so I left it where it lay and leapt to my feet to better view the formation. The formation was shaped like a boomerang bent at about a 150 degree angle, with its elbow pointed in the direction of travel. It consisted of between five and ten white lights (unfortunately, neither one of us counted the number). The glow of the lights had a gentle, self-contained quality that reminded me of bio-luminescence. They were not as bright as aircraft lights or stars, and were larger--more like orbs than pin-pricks. The rigidity of the formation suggested a structure behind it, but I could not see any fuselage or wings. My friend does not need corrective lenses for distance, and so may have been able to perceive a bit more detail than I. She said afterwards that she thought the lights were slightly oval. She had been reminded of balloons trailing strings, and then she had thought of jelly fish. I did not perceive these "strings", however, as I focused on an individual light, I clearly saw it slide, with a slight arc, a few degrees out ahead of the other, then slide back into it's original position. I say "slide", because the motion did not seem aerodynamic or bird-like, nor wobbly and wind-blown, but rather fluid -- even fish-like. My friend mentioned a "pulsing" of the lights, and I suspect this was her perception of the motion I was seeing. The following point may sound contradictory, but I want to be clear: while I saw this light move relative to the other, the entire formation as a whole was rigid. If the lights were beads on a string, the string neither lengthened, nor shortened. The angle of the "boomerang" did not change; the two halves of the "boomerang" did not flex or wobble. It did not veer, sway, or stretch out and reform such as a formation of birds will do (I've seen countless Canadian geese formations flying over my home in BC, and this was not that). It was not a string of Mylar balloons drifting on a breeze: it was traveling too fast and straight, in a direction opposite to that of the slowly moving clouds, and in a manner that was -- as my friend insisted I mention -- "intentional". I completely agree with her on this point. The formation/object? crossed the the visible sky--an opening in the trees of perhaps 130 feet across--in about 15 seconds. My impression was not one of extreme speed, but something like that of an aircraft. It was well below the clouds, and given that I could discern the lights as orbs as opposed to pin-pricks, and also discern movement of the lights, I feel I was seeing it relatively close-up. Our hands outstretched above our heads and held 18 to 24 inches apart, would have framed it. I estimate it was perhaps 60 feet across, and not more than a few hundred feet above us. It's possible it was a larger object farther away, but these are my impressions. It was absolutely silent the whole time.

Observed 3 objects in a triangular formation at high altitude ie: 30-40K ft. which remained stationary for approximately 10 minutes in the NW evening sky. There was no noise and no con-trail. The objects did not move. After observing for approximately 10 minutes, 2 of the objects disappeared, one remained. Shortly afterwards the one remaining object began to move slowly in a NW direction at the same high altitude and suddenly disappeared.

Surprise, AZ
The nature of the Extraterrestrials currently remain a mystery. Prior to and following the sighting of these lights, we will start to notice mass bird and insect death. Temperature in the south states will be fluctuating and sporadic. Nasa will start contemplating the removal of all personnel from The International Space Station. Russia will refuse to leave and start doing research on the nature of their visit. Numbers of strange gateways and people vanishing will increase. Anomalies such as Gravity shifting to crop circles will rise. Japan will start focusing on how to defend ourselves in case of attack. Most of the world will start focusing on advancing in technological growth such as new fuel sources and deep space exploration and defence vessels. Hidden secrets and mysteries will be brought out and shown to the world. Mysterious men and women will start appearing in the streets and will appear to be surveying the land. A base in antarctica will receive a communication from the swarms of ships. They will inform us that we are being studied to see if we are suitable to join them on the journey. A select 10,00 people from each country will be taken and tested. The selection process will be at random taking adults and children. The world will fall into chaos and rage. The greatest minds will start working together and come up with a way to get war ships into space. We will then communicate with the Aliens and be informed of an experiment they started during the time of indians and ancient tribes where they integrated with our societies. A calling will happen and all the people who are their ancestors will remember their reasoning for coming to Earth. An alliance will be formed between earth and the other civilization. Earth will be given advanced technology and embark into the next chapter of life. From that point on we will be trained for colonization of other planets and space exploration. There is a spot of time before the alliance where a slight battle will occur and we will be pushed into being a military planet. The precise dates are unknown but it will happen soon.

Farmingdale, ME
Was standing by a fire in my backyard when I noticed a star that was not only 20 times brighter than every other star, but also appear elongated like it was 2 stars next to each other. At times, I even noticed it split into multiple orbs. 3 of stood there in awe and watched it for 45 minutes to an hour as it moved side to side and forward and backward changing in brightness drastically. It's color at times appeared to be all colors, like how light can diffract into a rainbow through water. It gave us all chills as it appear to be watching us for a bit. I got a video in which side to side movement is hard to tell because of my shaky hands, but it is clear that it went from an invisible distance and came close and bright and then back to invisible distance. The movement was highly irregular which rules out any rocket based aircraft. It had an aura around it that glowed, as it had constant light emission that was very bright. After my friends went home (it was m! idnight at this point), I stayed outside and watched until after 1am and it kept leaving and coming back every few minutes the entire time. Have never felt the way this object made me feel. I even called a couple friends and multiple times I shut off my phone because I began to clearly hear interference with the call. Overall, unable to explain this activity with any modern science. Needless to say, I was, and am, SHOOK. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Prudenville, MI
Approx. 10:45 pm EDT, 7/5/2019. 5 miles SE of Houghton Lake, MI. Three green lights in a row moving slowly across the sky, almost directly overhead. The center light was solid, other two were flashing. We initially thought it was an aircraft, but I noted to my father that all the lights were green. He immediately checked FlightTracker on his phone - no aircraft in the vicinity. We continued watching the lights which appeared to be slowing, almost stopped. Then all three lights jumped instantly to a different location in the sky, three times in about ten seconds, the resulting locations forming a diamond pattern. Then while still, all three lights flashed yellow to red three times, turned solid green, then began moving W/SW at a tremendous speed. Not knowing how large or how high this anomaly was, we estimated that if this was the height of an airliner at cruising altitude, the speed would be approx. 2400 mph. My father and I continued watching the completely silent anomaly move out of sight.

Late evening over east lake star watching access to lake looks west to the south was watching what appeared to be a weather event told those I was with it looked strange. Took them back and returned to lake. Large craft over lake Michigan marked by cloud cover could tell by lights and very slow movements. Thought that a ship this size would have scouts, saw first to the west at 1 o'clock and 2nd south west 10 o clock. These were smaller be not single pilot cart both pulsing lights around ships seemed stationary but moved in altitude lights did not circle but ran from side to side to central point. Large craft to the south was stationary there was civilian aircraft between larger craft rotates 90degrees showing the bottom of craft which looked like stars but in a 4 point pattern. At this time I thought it was 2 crafts continued to watch scouts once a civilian craft was by all ships moved west slowly

I was on the north shore of Lake Superior later in the evening and over the lake came a formation of lights that at first appeared to be a very long/wide aircraft with two bright yellow lights and smaller green and orange lights on either side. It came in close very fast and had no sound at all. It appeared to stop and hover and a few smaller individual lights came shooting off and quickly faded and disappeared into the distance. All of this with absolutely no sound. The larger object then seemed to just get farther away as the lights eventually faded completely. It was hard to tell if the object was going up or away or turned away in a certain direction. The entire event lasted only a couple of minutes. What I remember most was the fact it was absolutely silent and seemed to hover very gracefully while the small lights shot out very quick and graceful as well.

My granddaughter and I were driving down the Main Street in Anderson, SC. She told me to lookin the sky. There was between 50 to 75 objects hovering in the sky. A couple had lights... they just kind of moved around and then began going into the sky in a line. It was very low grey clouds and they disappeared into them. I have pictures of it. I cannot figure out what it could be. I did call the police dept and reported what we saw.

Rogerson, ID
At approximately 23:47 on U.S. Hwy 93, 3 miles south of Hollister, ID the station I was listening to “Boise State Public Radio” on 91.7 when the usual news/classical format changed. It began playing very strange atmospheric, almost psychedelic music, with what sounded like whales in the sounds as well. The noises in the music all put together sounded like something I had never heard before, it is almost impossible to describe the sense it created. I continued for several miles, still tuned in for curiosities’ sake. At this point I was only a few miles south of Rogerson (8 miles from where I originally began hearing the strange music) My dog that I travel with began barking very loudly, which he never does on car rides. I very briefly looked back to calm him down when suddenly the music got much louder and when I shot my view back forward there was a very bright purple/blue light just above the road, I swear it grew brighter and brighter with every passing moment. It almost appeared like an air traffic light burning very bright in the middle of the highway. I braked almost immediately and pulled to the side of the road, terrified as my dog continued to bark, yelp, and howl. As I reached in my glove box for my pistol, the music went down to its usual volume and as I hopped out the large light was gone. I could almost see nothing since the light took away my adjusted night vision. I took out a cigarette to calm my nerves as my eyes readjusted, continued listening to the strange music still playing through my Oldsmobile and realized my perception of time during this whole incident was very skewed, a 15 minutes had felt like hours. Just then I noticed five lights, getting brighter and brighter just as the first had, they were staggered almost like a Z with an extra line going straight up and slightly to the north from the south as I was facing it. They stayed bright for several moments before one by one faded into the atmosp! here. At some point during my dumbfounded staring at the sky m! y radio had gone to static. After looking it up, I had been out of range of the radio signal since Hollister. I did not believe in UFOs or Extra Terrestrials until last night, if you had told me they were anything other than folk stories, I would have laughed at you. I have never been more wrong, or terrified of my mistake, in all my years.

I was at the neighbors house, just stepped outside, at the base of a valley, surrounded by forests on all sides. I look to the northern sky and notice what looked like a red blur at first appeared to be multiple red lights in the sky. When I was looking at the lights, they appeared to be a couple of miles away and above the tree line. There isn't any radio towers in that direction from where I live, and the objects did not flash at all. To me they didn't seem to be making a symmetrical formation from where I was. My neighbor and I were talking and I interrupted her to show her the lights. I asked do you see that?? She said yeah the red lights up there? So that confirmed to me that I wasn't just having an optical illusion/hallucination. I've seen lights and strange behavior of lights in the night sky that I can't explain, but I haven't ever seen a cluster of red ones.

First we thought it was weird for white birds to be flying in formation and so high. Then we saw them descending rapidly in formation and with bright lights facing us. Suddenly, they change direction and disappear. They all re-appeared and repeated same process again. Disappeared and I'm not going away until I see them again

I woke up around 2:00am. I usually wake up to that time since I am having trouble sleeping sometimes. This took place around 2:26am, around this time. I went to go to the bathroom. I have a window in front of the toilet. While doing my business, I look outside of the window. I am interested in astronomy, so I look up to the night sky. I was looking at the stars, and I noticed a very peculiar star, which was brighter than others. It was lights. From space, not like beams shooting up, but lights. I first saw what it looked liked to be a star, a white-looking star, then another joined under it, and another under it. The 3 stars formed in a line. After about 5 seconds, they merged into one star. Then the stars looked like it was making an unknown shape. From what I saw, it looked like a teardrop but the tip was very curved. I also noticed some sort of beam shining out of the UFO. I also noticed a minuscule-sized aircraft flying around the light. The small one was flashing green lights. Then it faded into nothing. Came back, then faded once more. After the 2nd fading, the light never came back. During this, I decided to go get my camera (I was amazed at the sight, but also still. But I snapped myself out of it and tried getting the camera). My camera couldn't take the picture of the lights, everything was too dark. Keep in mind that that UFOs were at star-length. They were as far away as if they were blending in with a star.

Thursday May 30th 9 pm East Weymouth, MA, Northeast sighting I was looking on the horizon and I saw a regular airplane. Then as the plane flew out of view out from behind where the airplane was I saw six white spotlights sitting in the sky. The lights then slowly dispersed up unto the sky at different angles. I would describe it like you have a closed fist and then you open it wide and watching the tips of your fingers go into different directions. The lights got less visible the more they spread out. I stood there to wait to see if I saw anything more and nothing else happened.

I was doing laundry at 4:49 in the morning on May 29th 2019 when I looked up in the sky I was smoking a cigarette waiting for the laundry to finish when I saw floating objects that were hovering all together they were orange and they were hovering next to each other and then they simultaneously split off like they were breaking off and kind of just floating like like synchronized together they were just looks like they were scanning the area or trying to observe something but they were closer together but then they just started distancing themselves floating further apart slowly but surely and it was very bright so I remembered grabbing my phone and trying to snap a video of it as soon as possible I have a video of it but it's towards the end while it's going in the building there were no airplanes or no identifying markers on it it was just a bright orange light and then they broke off into three floating orbs and they just went their separate ways.
