As it was leaving 4 lights on the backend shining white shaped like a square, lights were on each corner. It sounded similar to planes flying overhead with slightly deeper tone. I had 2 minutes before it flew out of sight. I can't believe how low something that big was flying above my apartments. I'm not making this up, I saw this object and couldn't believe my eyes!!! Watching the lights on it back end almost completely resembling 4 planes perfectly aligned in a square formation.

To the northeast of Lake Memphremagog my fiancé was driving home and said that I should come outside. She told me that she had observed all of the floating amber colored lights for approximately 5 minutes before she arrived home. I went outside and saw the drifting to the northeast with others entering from the horizon on the northwest. There were dozens of the amber colored lights and their altitude was below 5000 feet, as it is very cloudy and a little foggy outside.

Viki (Chios Island)(Greece) · Greece
I want to share my experience with you I had some years ago, I have found many similarities with many people experiences from here. I was for holidays on Chios island, specific on a village called Viki which is on the northern part of the island. I was with some friends of mine outside the village for a walk, nightime with a very clear sky and full moon. We were looking up to the sky to see some stars falling and I was looking all around to see a falling star. A friend of mine told me to stare to a specific place cause I had more possibilities to see a star falling. So I did. I was down from the road electric light and above of me was the full moon. So I had good front and back light. As I was gazing the beautiful and clear sky, hearing the cicadas and feeling the light air coming on me I suddenly saw it. I was frozen. A flying rectangular transparent object with no sound passed in front of my eyes, under the full moon and above the road electric light. I could see its outline and also the stars behind it. It might have been about 300-400 meters above and it was flying very harmoniously, it was moving so smoothly and peacefully in the sky like a bird with its wings opened. It had no lights, nothing else on it that I saw. From the time I saw it until it disappeared in the darkness there were passed about 4-5 seconds. The speed of it wasn't so high, it was like spying with no lights and being transparent. I'm thinking that somehow repulses the photons going over it so thats why I couldn't see it. I cannot say if it was aliens, humans with human technology or humans with alien technology. I can only guess. That's all from me.

Oceanside, CA
My wife and I were driving west on Oceanside Blvd. She looked south and said, "Oh my gosh, there are six red lights hovering really low in they sky" As I looked up I could see all six red lights, not one of the lights were blinking like most aircraft in the sky. They were all far too close togther to be helicopters or airplanes, about 100 feet off the ground and almost as if they were in a rectangular formation. We live close to the Marine base and I've seen helicopters in formation many times before, never do they fly in a proportionate rectangular formation. Also, you can hear helicopters/airplanes flying, there was no sound. We made a left driving toward the lights. The two lights at the top of the formation began to move up toward the sky very slowly. We pulled into our garage and came running out with our camera phones ready, the lights were gone. In the literal 5 seconds it took to get back outside to see the lights, they had completely vanished. We were astonished and left to wonder, what type of red lights could have been stagnant in the sky and just completely vanish within seconds?

McKinney, TX
We were trying to watch a meteor shower when we heard a loud noise that sounded like a motorcycle on the street right behind my house. The noise just continued to get louder and louder when we saw green and red lights shining over the trees that back my fence. Soon over the sky we saw something that looked like a rectangle, with a strand of white lights going through the middle and then red and green lights on the side. It was fairly close to the ground. It just flew by. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Roseville, CA
On the evening of 8/11/14, I witnessed a craft that was a perfect rectangle with seven lights in a row followed by an eighth light on one end. This craft was followed by a smaller craft that was also a perfect rectangle with three lights. It was flying north to south. I was outside trying to view the meteor shower despite there being a pretty full moon. While I didn't spot any meteors, I did see this craft flying pretty fast. My father told me that it could be the flying wing bomber flying from a nearby air force base. I researched the flying wing and it was definitely not the right shape. After researching more, I could not find any current aircraft like the one I saw. This doesn't confirm that the craft was alien in origin however. It could still be an experimental craft. But I tend to believe that it was not of earth origin. But that is only my opinion. This report was originally posted for Colorado, which was indicated by the witness. We have corrected the location of the sighting to California. PD

Hatfield, PA
We were in our backyard and about 8:15 and saw a light come into view over the roof of the house. At that point it was probably 4 miles away. At first it looked like fireworks. But then we noticed it didn't burst. It was moving over us maybe 1000 ft altitude or less. It moved steadily and fairly quickly from south to north.(took about 1 minute to cover the sky from horizon to horizon) When it was over us it was dead silent and was as bright as a road flare but not smoking and was much larger in diameter. (Looked as big as a helicopter, which come over our house all the time but make incredible noise) It moved off to the north and either burned out or the light was up inside and we couldn't see it. It didn't disappear, but was now a black object still moving steadily n the same direction. The impression was it was a drone like craft with a bright red flare on the bottom. The really odd thing was about 3 minutes later an exact duplicate did the same thing. Witness provides little contact information. PD

Approximately 10:15 to 10:30 pm, my wife and I were in our front yard, when we saw this odd shaped craft going south to north. Looked to be about the height that a helicopter would fly. At first it was going at the speed of a helicopter and then it just took off. It came back and circled around an area to our north west and then just hovered over an area appearing not to move and then moving slightly to the left and right then it just disappeared. This object made no sound and had red and blue lights, shaped similar to a rectangle. My wife tried to get a picture on the cell phone but it only showed a bright light. Will be watching tonight at 10:30 with my camera and binoculars.

Waterford, CT
Heading south on route 1 in Waterford, CT, at approximately 21:20, my spouse and I happened to notice an orange object in the sky heading west and gaining altitude. The object was somewhat square and solid orange, as if it were a ball of light or the bottom of a rocket burning fuel through the atmosphere. The object was several thousand feet up when spotted. I pulled over and got out of our vehicle while I handed my wife my iPhone to record the object. There was no sound that we could hear being omitted from the object and we watched for almost 3 minutes before it disappeared into the clouds. I must add that I specifically looked for flashing lights off of potential wings, but there weren't any. Tonight is a relatively clear night and I can identify airplanes in the sky as I type this report.

i was in back garden, as i looked at stars, a star like object crossed other stars, so i noticed it was not on a straight flight path and grabbed the camera, on zooming in i relised this wasn't a star shape but a rectangle, but as i got to 40x zoom it changed from circle to rectangle to brick like shape, and changed color so many times i lost count, here is the video i recorded https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dy8yX0aKtVc

Note; this is a rewrite of a description that I submitted late last night 7/28/2014. At the time of writing last night, I was quite tired and exhausted, hence subject matter was not fully comprehensible and coherent. Please accept this submission, description as a substitute regarding my previous submission..... Thank you for your understanding and for all you do.... =============================================================================== FINAL SUBMISSION On July 28, 2014 at approximately 10:40 PM upon a clear night sky a defined (defined boundaries) elongated rectangular brightly illuminated fast moving streak of white light silently traveled at a high rate of speed from east to west at a “discernible” low altitude. It left behind a barely visible white slightly illuminated short white trail, possibly a reflection or heat signature. Because of the objects constant defined shape and absolute straightforward, deliberate parallel trajectory object did not resemble shooting star, meteorite, or similar natural object....

We were sitting on the beach and we saw four red lights in the sky, in the shape of a square, fly over us very slowly, it was not a plane or helicopter because no likes were flashing. Coincidentally I spotted two shooting stars go by about 20 minutes before this. We eventually looked away and it disappeared. It wasn't traveling in a straight line, it was sort of wobbling a little bit as it if was being affected by wind. Witness provides no contact information. PD

I saw two red orbs the same size as stars. I was puzzled to why the stars was red and not white, or if a planet orange looking. I pointed it out to my two friends and instantly a huge rectangular light came on low in altitude, not moveing, and made now sound. We whatched the light and inside something was moveing, causeing shadows to move. Being I have always been religious, I thought it was God. We whatched the light for a couple of minutes and then a red light appeared inside the rectangle, just left of center. It stayed for a minute or so, then the light went out completely. Exactly were the light was there was a craft of some type. It only had red lights and they were dim. It began to slowly move off to our left. It went out of sight to our vantage point so we ran to were we could possibly see it longer. We saw it again and it had changed its direction and was moveing back to what had been right hand side. It moved almost directly over top of us and we could see the bottom of the craft which had I think I recollect counting nine dimly lit red lights with the two on the very end blinking alternately. It still had made no sound. I need to add that it was a very dark night, The outer shapes of the craft couldn't be made out, while it was in the rectangular form and then with the red lights, all we could see was the light and I don't know if that was all of the crafts size or not. It could have been cigar shaped but that couldn't be determined.

Sighted a block of pure white extremely bright lights. The object was very high in the air maybe just below the clouds. The object looked to be far away but still came across as very large (maybe the size of 3 single-family homes) It sat stationary in the sky and the lights gave a large bright white star shape luminance. The object looked almost exactly like baseball stadium lights except much bigger and much higher. I lost sight of it when I went behind the tree line and when I drive by again it was gone.

Me and my friend were sitting on lawn chairs looking at stars when we seen a "ufo" type object fly over. It had 4 lights. It was in a rectangular shape. It flew over my house in Rogersville. It took approximately 10-15 seconds to get out of site. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

My friend and I were going on a walk and noticed a strange, bright, light hovering over the area of Lake Norman. The light appeared white in color and extremely bright for the distance it appeared away from us. Upon further examination, the light seemed to be made of four smaller lights clumped together shining bright enough to appear as one. The light hovered in its location for roughly 30 seconds until it moved up about 20 degrees from our PoV and began hovering again. Note, at this point it was thought that the light was a plane due to its movement speed and the way it moved. The object, after hovering for roughly another 30 seconds slowly crept left and then began accelerating to a very fast speed which caused us to run across the road to continue seeing it. We then lost sight of it after it went behind a line of trees that spans roughly 30 feet and then didn't appear from the other side. I would normally be inclined to say this was a helicopter but if the lights were this bright, then it would be much closer and there would be a sound (there was no sound but the bugs at the time). Background: I'm a pretty regular gu,y although I do suffer from pretty intense paranoia and have been told that I may be slightly schizophrenic. My friend is also regular and only suffers from mild anxiety. Other than that, neither of us were under the influence of any drugs or alcohol and were wide awake at the time.

At 8:30, my son and I were walking near Laprada and 635 this craft was only a 100 feet off the ground. It was triangular shaped with 3 white lights, and a green light in the middle. It cloaked itself and took off at a very high speed and disappeared. A neighbor that was near saw it also. So we were not losing our minds at what we saw. My name ((male's name deleted)) I don't care if you know my name. I did not believe they existed, but oh yeah they are here people. And my question is why they hide like that. Anyone else seen the same thing contact me at ((address deleted)). Thanx

We were at a carnival and I looked up and I saw a diamond/rectangle shaped aircraft. It was about 10,000 feet in the air and it had about 4 lights that flickered (in no pattern or sequence) red and green. The aircraft hovered and then made very fast movements back and forth, it also made spinning movements. The spinning, quickness, spontaneity of the lights and closeness to the ground ruled out any possibility of this being a plane or helicopter. Not many people saw it because no one made a big deal but I alerted my friend and she also agreed that it was like nothing she had ever seen before. After about 10 minutes of scoping the 1 mile radius, the aircraft seemed to just disappear.

Le 8 juillet 2014 à 21h33 un témoin est intrigué par le passage rectiligne d'une forme rectangulaire très lumineuse. Durant les 6 à 8 secondes d'observation, l'objet rapide se déplace silencieusement. Aucun autre témoignage n'a été recueilli. Le témoin observe un rectangle jaune avancer au-dessus de l'horizon. Le soleil est couché depuis 8 mn. Le témoin regarde vers le Sud-Est, et voit passer l'objet de gauche vers sa droite (voir ses dessins). Un avion, éclairé de côté par le soleil couchant apparaît comme un rectangle très brillant (les ailes ne recoivent pas directement les rayons du soleil, la dérive, plane, renvoie le soleil dans une direction différente que le fuselage cylindrique). Le halo gris autour de l'objet peut être un phénomène d'optique atmospérique, assez complexe à basse élévation, ou bien un phénomène d'aveuglement local au niveau de l'œil de l'observateur. Le relevé Flightradar indique un avion candidat pour cette observation : le vol AF Orly-Marseille en approche de Marignane. Le GEIPAN classe ce cas "A" : observation d'un avion au coucher du soleil. [GEIPAN classification A — Avion de ligne]
