Palm Bay, FL
From north to South above Rt 1. Two crafts barely moving, three lights across. Craft above 1/2 mile apart. Same path. Went directly over our car about the height of a small plane would fly. We saw what looked like a military plane or small plane with typical flashing blue and red light come up next to the leading UFO. Circled around the area then left.

Vancleave, MS
At approximately 1930 yesterday evening, I was driving home from picking up a pizza for myself and husband. I was traveling West on a main road, preparing to make a left hand turn onto the road that I live on. We live in a fairly quiet, rural area. There are very few street lights on our road. As I prepared to turn left onto our road, I observed an orange glow just through the top of the trees. I turned left onto our road and continued traveling North. About 400 feet ahead, I observed a truck pulled over to the side of the road with its hazards on. As I got closer to the truck, it very quickly pulled onto the road and took off. At this point, I had reached the section of road where the landscape opens and there are no trees blocking the vista. To my east, there were dozens of bright orange balls of light in the sky. They were in small groups of three (triangular pattern). Each group was parallel to each other. The lights were glowing bright orange and seemed independent of each other. At that moment, the groups of light appeared stationary in the sky. The mass of lights extended in a "lane" that appeared at least 200 feet in length. There were some single balls of light (not in a triangle pattern) towards the end of the line . These lights were at a very low altitude. My best guess would be a few hundred feet off the ground. As I looked out my car window, I barely had to lift my gaze to make these observations. There was no sound whatsoever. The mass of lights appeared to be moving east to west/northwest. I felt true panic in that moment. And frantically dialed my husband to get outside. I was less than one mile from my home at this time. As I continued North, I lost sight of the lights. At about 1/2 mile from my home, I opened the sunroof and observed some balls of light in the sky above me. These balls of light were traveling in a singular formation. Not the same triangle formation I had initially observed a mile back. They appeared higher in altitude at this point. I passed a vehicle pulled over in the southbound lane and could see the driver with his cell phone out the window. This helped to validate that what I was seeing was real! When I reached my driveway, my husband was outside waiting. He was able to observe 2 glowing orange balls of light to the south of his location, traveling west/northwest. They disappeared quickly beyond the tree line. Roughly 20 minutes later, we observed a helicopter traveling south towards the location we saw the lights. We often see helicopters and various aircraft over our property, but hardly do they travel in a north to south pattern. Especially at night. My husband is retired Coast Guard. We have lived near many military installations with very active air traffic. I'm used to seeing helicopters, military aircraft at all times of the day performing various exercises so I like to think that I have a slight advantage over the general public in observing aircraft. I can say with 100% certainty this was not any type of plane or helicopter. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

We were standing outside talking after we got off work and we saw these four round, huge, bright lights that were going up and down and they stood still for about five seconds and we all just got quiet and stared at it and the it disappeared. It was much larger than the other planes in the sky. I thought it was a C-130 because I live nearby a base but it was much bright and much more still and silent that a C-130

Raleigh, NC
Saw 3 lights moving in unison, slowly in the same direction over my neighborhood. It was heading West. 3 lights blinking one at a time from West to East. Light blinking repeated once a second in total for all 3 lights blinking in a loop - 1,2,3 - 1,2,3 No engine sounds. Looked extremely wide/long from our view. The light's rate of blinking sort of looks like normal aircraft. Only there were 3 lights, and all 3 lights moved together, and their blinking pattern was synced up as if highlighting a single shape. Unclear if disc/chevron/whatever. If it was 3 helicopters, they did a really good job going at the same speed in the same direction, really really slow. I've seen normal helicopters flying over my house before. Lights look different, and I can hear the engines. Only other simplified guess I can make is some kids tied 3 drones together with a really really long fishing line. I wouldn't be surprised if it was more than 1 to 3 miles long. I'm no pilot or anything. So my ability to judge the distance/speed/size is based on only my understanding that a traffic light is as big as I am close up.

I went out to my second story deck to view the Moon and Mars, and saw 5 to seven red blinking lights high up, in a perfect v formation, going south east over Palos Verdes. I could hear a jet noise very deep sounding and got a video of them on my i-phone...the jet noise is also heard on the video as a low roar...this occurred at 9:55 pm last night in clear skys. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite sober-minded. We suspect that he is a highly qualified, and reliable, witness. Also, he is a member of MUFON, and we have urged him to submit the report to MUFON, as well. PD

Only saw a couple of birds on my walk and no leaves high in the air. The leaves were bristling on the ground because it was windy. Very clear pretty crisp day today and it was windy. I really do not know what I saw. My vision is excellent except I wear reading glasses. I'm in my 40's.

Another set of 4 circle-like ufo figures are suddenly birthed and summoned to follow the previous set of 4 rectangle like formation to near exact motion of direction of the ones prior. In the mean time the orb within the sky has grown dramatically and is clearly vivid and non moving of its location until suddenly is vanished. This is a very rare phenomen here; meaning that even if there has been ufo sightings here in a minuscule manner that this is out of the ordinary. There have been multiple witnesses known via social media outlets that have witnessed and Recorded this phenomenon in multiple different angles within this given location.

Hampton Beach, NH
During a brilliant sunset, I was riding my bike south towards center of Ocean Blvd., when I saw a long string of red orbs (spread out over a mile) level to the low clouds. (clouds at 2000ft approx) I know that the reddish sunlight was likely hitting these silent objects (but they definitely had their own light source), and they were not airplanes, as these objects were clearly distinguished from a plane and helicopter which were flying closer and lower along the beach during this time with the white headlights and noise of their props. These red objects had two tones red and a whiter color but were not like rockets (or fireworks), and were silent and moved the speed of single engine airplanes. (In the past I have seen squadrons of old airplanes returning from airshow events in general area, but these objects were nothing like that.) They moved in a line from South to North and seemed to turn into the cloud bank to the East out over the ocean. They seemed to disappear that way one by one, and I only followed a few of them to see that happen. After a minute as I rode south I saw 3 in a triangle come along the same flight path. I don't know how others a the beach could have missed seeing these, but the beach is lightly populated compared to the summer crowds. I could have taken pictures, but I had separated from my wife and it was getting dark and had already taken my quota of the beautiful sunset that day.

They stood still for 15 seconds, then they seemed to rearrange themselves. It looked like 4 airplanes with no wing lights flying in formations that kept changing.

Last night I was skywatching with binoculars in the hopes of seeing anomalous craft. This is an activity that I do along withy my brother with some frequency in the summer. In the last few weeks we've seen some strange fireballs and flashes that couldn't be accounted for by known aircraft or satellites. My process with the binoculars is to watch one area of the sky for a few minutes, then move to another area and wait. I often can see satellites not visible to the naked eye this way, and I can track them across the sky easily with the binoculars. I am an experienced skywatcher and can distinguish most aircraft, satellites, and meteors. I was looking towards the west and a series of objects entered the frame of the binoculars from the north. It consisted of six white spheres arranged in a straight line, but the line itself was oriented maybe 15 degrees to the right of the direction of travel. A good analogy is if you took a v-shaped flock of flying geese and removed half the geese. I immediately started tracking the objects across the sky until they reached the horizon to the south. The binoculars I was using were 7x zoom, and the full width of the formation filled roughly one third of the view area of the binoculars. The formation was very fast, from the moment I began tracking it to the moment it was beyond the horizon was less than three seconds. The spheres themselves were several times larger than a commercial airliner appears in the binoculars at cruising altitude (30,000 feet). The objects themselves appeared to be quite high, but judging by their size it seems unlikely they were in space. The objects themselves are difficult to describe because of their speed. They obviously were lit, but only dimly. It almost appeared if they were a projection, perhaps semi-transparent. They somewhat reminded me of seeing spotlights projected onto clouds when I was a child, but the sky was clear and there was nothing to project onto.

Solvang, CA
Most nights of this Aug., and now this Sep.3, I have observed hovering quite stationary lights (Each object has a line of four(?) white lights in a row. They form a sweeping half circle in the South to West (sort of) over Solvang, Ca., at somewhat different altitudes and intensities of lights, but still looking kind of organized. This town is not many miles from Vandenberg AFB. Once in Aug. I very briefly saw a quick blink of a red light within one of the crafts in the usual four lights in a row on one of the crafts. They are quite lovely I think. I only look up at them when I think of checking outside for them on some nights and they are usually there. Witness provides no contact information. PD

Cheyenne, WY
2 horizontal rows of multi colored lights observed over northern Cheyenne. Lights were consistently lit, my son I thought we were seeing the lights on Air plane wings, however we never saw them move, flash or change angle as it would be the case in any moving plane. Never heard a noise. The lights were too many to be from a normal Air craft and varied in color. As my son and I were watching them, they just disappeared, turned off as if someone had just flipped a switch. We could not see a body of an aircraft or hear anything.

2 objects starting evenly spaced between on the same level right object slowly drifted down keeping same distance from other object. Over a span of 30-40 minutes as the sun began to set right object began to pull more to the right and still below left object. Left object never changed position at all during observation. Group observed both objects dissapear at the same moment. Overall observation of event exceeded an hour.

My nephew said what is that as he pointed up. I looked up and observed a straight line of lights heading towards us (north to south) in the sky as a plane would do. It was moving fast like a plane would. There was no fuselage. It was a string of lights in the sky. I viewed 10 lights in a straight line the first two were red, the next six were white, the last two were green. As they approach us, over our head they started forming a “J “. Then they kind of bunched up and continued on but in a scattered line. I was trying to get anyone in my apartment complex to look up. I’m a 57 male manufacturing manager. My nephew is the one who noticed it first. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I observed what started out as an orange ball of light that turned into a line of about 10-12 smaller orange lights along a ridge in my view. It started off high above the ridge and slowly went lower, but the lights fizzled out just before they hit the top of the ridge. They would reappear and fizzle out in the same line twice before scattering lightly until they fizzled out for the last time. Anyone have any thoughts or similar experiences in San Diego, CA?

Aurora, CO
Broad daylight, looked up at the clear blue sky and saw this cluster of 7 silvery, shiny like misshapen circles that had a thin dark border around each one. These 7 circles were in kind of a messed up connected circle, with one of them seeming to be lagging behind. They would be there one second and - poof! - would just totally be gone. In a second or two, you could see them again. When they would come back into view the big circle of them together would be a little more of an actual circle. The lagging one seemed to finally catch up with the rest and they were shiny silver, and when the lagger was almost in place the whole thing just disappeared totally and we didn't see it again, watched for a long time and it never reappeared. It was totally silent, was going North to South, seemed to be moving smoothly although in a disorganized circle at first. It was at a higher elevation than the airplanes that we always see coming and going from the airport. It left us just stupefied, and asking each other over and over, "Did you SEE that?"

Malone, NY
About 9:45pm. We were watching falling stars, then out of the North sky these three objects appear in formation. They were Gold in color round but Fuzzy from the bottom. The three objects were about 1/2 mile up in sky and zoomed across in less than 20 seconds in a straight line heading south. There was no sounds. My wife looks at me and said what was that? I told he UFO.... This is my second time seeing things like this. Every night, I watch falling stars and I see about 6-8 satellites go by and we also have the airport from Montreal next by. This was definitely a group of UFO's going somewhere.

Witness two: flashes of light behind the clouds, lighting up the sky multiple flashes seconds apart different areas of the sky and no streaks and no rain after hand to explain it streched probably across half of the sky and stopped in matter of a few min with no evidence in sky of anything clouds gone no planes not one thing in the sky where we see it. Witness one: It lit up the whole sky in a square diagonally shoting lite sporadically. Then it like sucked itself up & disappeaerd. No evidence it was even there. Crazy if there was ever a doubt it is definitely gone. I've searched all over for hours. Nothing like this ever reportded. They manipulate the weather to cloak themselves. Thats how we r learning to do it. What is going on? Please explain what we just saw!-!!!
