Scranton, PA
I was driving down the Scranton expressway and saw a big light. At first thought I thought it was a plane but it was flying too low and was a constant bright light as if it were a big flashlight in the sky. It stayed in the same position, hovering. I was driving and could not tell if it just disappeared or I just couldn’t see it anymore behind the trees.

Fayetteville, NC
Walking my dog for the late night shift, I had my eyes on the night sky it was quite clear. Looking up at the stars, I witnessed a point of light (assuming a star) at the moment turn into a ball of different colors. I watched as it came down vertically from the sky and hover for just a brief moment before completely going behind the tree line closer to the ground. This object gave no trail of entering the atmosphere so I checked off it being a meteor or satellite entry, this object also did not break apart into different sections either however the object stopped in mid descent before going back to “falling”. No noise only three bright bursts of light within split seconds of each other (Green,Blue,Purple) again leaving no streak on the night sky or splitting apart. Freaked me out while I stood on the side of the road watching in awe and quite frankly fear. It was crazy, had my hair standing up on the back of my neck.

Oklahoma City, OK
I stepped outside to have a cigarette and was observing the weather, which was very cloudy, but with patches of clear sky visible, as well as several aircraft in the area. I looked N-NE and saw a white light, far too big to be from a plane moving at incredible speed with no sound at all. I pulled my phone out and went to open my camera to take photo/video of the incident but it shut down and wouldn't start up until the object had passed, headed S-SE. If I had to give a size of the craft, I'd say it was the size of a street light viewed from 50-100ft from my vantage point. The speed it was cruising was unprecedented, as it appeared to be moving several times faster than a fighter jet. The only problem was there was absolutely no sound emitted, which was what gave my first inclination to it being otherworldly. I tried to tell a few people, though I was met with the typical looks or criticism of seeing things or being nuts. I don't know if anyone else saw it, but if they did, I'm sure they were either as flabbergasted as I was, or wrote it off as nothing of importance.

Seattle, WA
Very short period of time but looking out over the bluff of Magnolia (suburb of seattle close to discovery park) I saw what I thought was a Satellite moved quickly in random patterns. Stopping and then Satellite moving again in random patterns. This was not a plane, looked more like a star. No shape, just a bright light that had random movement. Sometimes stationary.

Vandalia, OH
Was star gazing and noticed a few stars moving, wasn’t sure if it was a plane then it changed direction, then slowly moved in a zig zag fish like pattern. Never seen a star moving and definitely never seen an object change direction at that height. You couldn’t tell the difference from the moving light and a star besides the movement

Idaho Falls, ID
It hovered briefly, moving slowly, then got brighter as it blasted forward and disappeared. I was leaving Cabelas at the time, walking in the parking lot towards my car. I was looking at the sky because it was filled with brilliant colors of pink, orange and purple to the west and more of an ominous blue and green above me and toward the east.

Missoula, MT
One star trailed to the right and disappeared into light congestion. Then in the middle of the last song three stars go racing at the speed of light to the left one chasing two, when they all got to above the mountain I saw one crash into another and both hit the last one and disappeared over the mountain into light congestion, silent no noise - the distance of stars I was DD for my father at this concert and may have caught one on footage They may have been disturbed by the concert, definitely not related, there was a jet following shortly before and after which promoted me to look up. It was night and you could see other stars, but the light pollution made it difficult to capture- if it was pitch black you could have seen the impossible speed these stars were going at. It literally looked like a star battle in the sky. A vehicle stopped on the freeway for a lengthy period of time shortly after the “possible crash” could have happened

Miami, FL
I know what a plane does. I know what a drone does. This was not that. I saw a smallish ball of light (could have been a significant size just high up) dash through the sky and disappear behind my roof. It went faster than anything I’ve ever seen in my life. The lights were coming from below the object and also above it and were super bright. It lasted a split second.

Bend, OR
My stepdad and I witnessed a fluorescent green tube of light glide across sky. It came from the southeast sky, glided above the neighborhood and across the sky into the northwest horizon. It was dusk so it was easy to see that there was no light trail or tail behind the green glowing “glow stick.” It was flying below airplane level and at about the level that helicopters fly at in that area. Based on its estimated elevation and distance from us, we guess that it was greater than 40 but smaller than 100 feet. The “green glow stick” made no sound and moved in a very straight, smooth line. Glided is the best way to describe its motion. Our background: we’re a regular ‘ol working-class family. My stepdad is retired from a local water district and I work full time. On the day of the sighting we were sitting on his back porch watching for shooting stars and faces towards the north-northwest when he noticed the “green glow stick” emerge from the corner of his eye out of the south-southeast. He called to me and my husbands attention to look several times. About the third time he said “hey look!” is when I saw the UAP. I watched it glide off into the N-NW.

I was on vacation past weekend to Cancun, Mexico I was at the balcony at our hotel looking at the beach. but I saw a bright light which was constantly moving in the sky. I recorded using my cellphone I have a 8min long video (the file is over 1GB, it is too large file to be uploaded) just captured some image and pasted on Word file

Waukesha, WI
Was sitting outside, about 1230am, it was a clear night. I saw an object with a bright light, it was NOT an airplane or helicopter. It moved from side to side, unlike any aircraft we have. Very fast it was. I was shocked! I've seen 1 before in Florida, in the early 2000's there were a bunch of sightings there. It was all over the news. It appeared that it was circling toward Venus, or another bright star, not sure. No mistake, I couldn't believe it myself. It was there about 3 to 4 minutes, then it vanished. I didn't have my cell phone with me, I wish I had, i would have video of it. Simply amazing! My friend thinks I'm crazy lol, but I know what I saw.

Geyserville, CA
We saw two king lights that seemed to pulse. They would bob up and down… zig zag and also remain stationary. When I tried to video with my camera I hit the flash and my phone died. My husband and I managed to capture some movements and the flying pattern on his cell and my video camera

San Diego, CA
Shortly after noon on August 28 spotted small white point of light in clear daylight sky at high altitude. A plane passed by much larger and lower while observing the light. Appeared stationary for at least 10 minutes and blink intermittently but not in a regular fashion then eventually moved slowly westward. Took short video.

Witham, ESSEX · United Kingdom
It looked like a star, constant bright light, no deviation from course, no changing of light, wouldn't be a star at that time of day, neither would it be one of the bazillion satellites. Sky was a beautiful blue and looked like it could go on for ever.

Lawrenceburg, KY
I was driving south on US127 in Anderson County, Kentucky, approximately where Bluegrass College of Technology is located, when I noticed a bright light in the sky. It looked like a bright star but at 7:22am the sun had already risen and the sky was clear blue so my initial thought when I saw it was that it was sunlight reflecting off an aircraft. The luminescence increased rapidly and then disappeared, but when it disappeared there was no sign of aircraft where it was. An aircraft would have been visible against the sky, and sun reflecting off a stationary satellite (if there is one in that location) would not have been that bright. I estimate it to have been at least ten miles away, appearing about 55° from ground level and slightly to the left of the direction I was facing (in the viscinity of Sirius). If my estimate is accurate it would have been somewhere between Lawrenceburg and Harrodsburg in Kentucky.

Dallas, TX
I'm trying to verify if this was a drone or not. I was lying on my back waiting for my partner & his sister to arrive with the house keys, and was just relaxing when I started counting stars. Then this light flew into view and disappeared. I have 3 videos of the same light. due to the speed it moves & the sudden change in direction, I don't believe it's an airplane. I thought I'd send it to you guys to get your thoughts.

Lake Henshaw, CA
Was fishing with friend. Crystal clear night. He noticed what he thought was a sattelite to me and I saw it as well. Was low but traveling at high rate of speed. East to west. We continued to tack it when it then made a hard turn and went straight up into space. Took about 10 seconds before it faded into darkness. Don't know what it was but neither of us have ever seen anything like it and both in our 60's. Was wild.

Choctaw, OK
They appear just above the neighbors home and shoot up still horizontal and parallel and sort of trace a check mark in the sky and then fade to black - they ended much higher up this time instead of hugging the tree line. The were nearly to the height of Cassiopeia constellation when they disappeared. My eldest Child reported seeing these above our house on the early morning of the 24th of Aug - said it was flashing and spinning and going nuts over the house. I was asleep. I looked to see if anyone else reported seeing either the same or similar configurations Or lights but no one thus far.

Waverly, IA
Seen in the process of driving to Iowa City from St. Paul, MN. Bright light, Green or possibly white two witnesses have differing views. Came over the top of vehicle visible through sunroof and then windshield. Didn't seem to be moving exceedingly fast, after being visible for 5-10 seconds it looked like it raced off straight ahead disappearing within a second. I know this probably isn't a terribly large amount of information but it'd be cool to know if there was a meteor or anything spotted in the area. If anyone tracks those sort of things.

West haven, CT
There was one stationary light positioned behind my house from what I saw spit out about 4-5 lights within the matter of about minute of each other that moved across the sky at a slow pace an disappear behind the clouds. Didn’t show any flashing lights like the plane I show In one of the videos. This is over water right near a airport in new haven county.. At the end of the video I capture the larger bright light between houses. Last video I moved locations out to the front of my house. It shows the bright object move horizontally upwards with lights reflecting off the clouds very far in the distance. All these videos were shot In the matter of 4 minutes. no way that many planes were moving by the airport. I checked flight tracker No flights were due over tweed but that 1 i filmed.

There were as many as 4 in the sky at once. They kept appearing. Some brighter than others, some faster some slower. They would not fly in a straight line. After seeing the second one there was a flash on fight (almost like one exploded, in the shape of a rocket engine) lit my entire house and yard up. After that, ufo’s kept appearing.

Elkton, MD
My husband and I were walking our dogs before bed, and walked to the end of our driveway to look at the big dipper. My husband asked me "did you just see that shooting star?" I said no. A few seconds later, he said "there is another one!" I was looking for a big sweeping light to come across the sky, but then I looked to where he was pointing. There was an object that could have been a star, (same brightness, etc) that was "shooting" bright gold/white things straight up at regular intervals..I would say 3-5 seconds between. We watched for about a minute, and then the "shooting" stopped. The thing that was the origination of the "shots" then moved extremely quickly left, stopped, moved very quickly left again, and then disappeared.
