Hudson, FL
My friend, husband, and I were outside talking, when I noticed a red flickering light. I ran inside to get my husbands phone and recorded some amazing activity. The lights move very fast appear in one place a reappear a second later somewhere else as if the lights were playing with each other or dancing. It was an incredible experience. I seen one move very low as if It was landing . a larger yellowish light that was not flashing appeared to be getting very close like it was falling from the sky then suddenly turned

Louisville, KY
I noticed two small objects at a very high altitude, slightly east of where I was standing in Louisville, KY. I was facing northeast and looking directly up while recording video on my iphone. When the objects began moving closer overhead, they gained altitude. I ran in to get my phone and recorded for a couple minutes, then I got binoculars and watched them remain overhead for about an additional 6-7 minutes. Viewing with the naked eye they appear to twinkle very brightly, as though someone were reflecting the sun with a mirror; much brighter than the reflection off an airplane, and not like a flashing light but more of a shaky erratic effect and far brighter. Through the binoculars they were very different. They didn't appear to be reflecting light, they were just a bright citrusy yellow, like a tennis ball. They were spherical with no wings. The reason they appeared to twinkle is because they each seemed to be made of two spheres attached to each other, but rolling around each other in a rapid undulating and random orbit with no space in between the two parts. This effect caused them to look elongated for short moments as the two spheres that made the individual objects were sometimes next to each other instead one on top of the other. I tried to search for other reports of similar objects, but most were at night. Some web sites talked about plasma orbs but I am not sure because the color was consistent. Whatever they were, they seemed to be intelligently driven, because they stayed together and once they were overhead they didn't leave, as though they were looking back! (no voice to skull technology or other communication used on me, sorry) This is not the first time (I assume by the naked eye view) I have seen one of these. A few months ago, also during bright daylight, I saw one while walking into a gas station. I watched it for 3-4 minutes, twinkling brightly but not moving at all, until a cloud covered it. The two on the recent occasion disappeared behind chemtrails that were drifting. A cold front had just moved through and we had surprisingly clear skies (still have today). The chemtrails have been very heavy here for months, lessening on most weekends. I also captured an excellent shot of a sun halo, which I have seen many times in the last couple months. If you have any information or insight, please respond. If I'm going to keep seeing these things I'd like to understand their nature better.

Pueblo, CO
Two objects, traveling southeast at extremely slow speed. One paused for several munites than began moving in formation with the other as they got closer together. Both were yellow in color, went from very dim to very bright several times. Made no sound. Light source was steady, not flashing or shimmering. Not like anything I've ever seen before.

Alhambra, CA
On October 15, 2017, Sunday morning, between the hours of 1AM to 1:30AM, my wife's son (32 years of age), and I were outside the patio conversing about astronomy. I was showing him how to locate North star and the Big Dipper, with my green laser. It was getting cold that morning, he then went inside the house to put something warm. While he was inside the house, I panned to the Northeast sky and saw a bright orange flame-like ball from afar, about one mile away. As I was in awe, it approached towards my house, over the patio at zenith, I then grabbed my 9 x 63 binoculars, but could not focus on the object. The flame-like ball transformed into a boomerang shape, and it appeared to have a cloudy, blurry, fuzzy, hazy surrounding the fire-ball blades of the boomerang shape. It then came down to a lower altitude. I then shouted out to my wife's son to come outside and said, hurry-up!, that he needed to see this. I then passed him my 9 x 63 binoculars and told him to try and focus on it. He said he could not focus on it. As it was getting further away from my house, I decided to point my green laser at it, and it made contact to a solid green dot on the object. The object then disappeared about less than half mile out. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite serious-minded. We suspect that he is an excellent witness, and highly reliable. PD

Sand Springs, OK
Went outside to take dog out and saw an unusually bright star. Kept staring at it because it was blinking red and white, and was spinning and alternating colors. I look at the stars every single night, and this was no star.

Leland, IL
I was driving south on rt23 after just turn off rt34. I noticed the Sun in the east skies above the crop field and thought about how great that would be as a photo so i took images of the sun, realizing that my window was up and would probably make the picture not what I wanted I put the window down and took a few more images of the east sky. As i was uploading the images I noticed a spot, since I had changed the color filter on them to negative. I became curious and looked at the others and on the normal photos there is a bright green spot and you see it travel from the top of the crops up to the southern skies and then I had one out of focus but the shape was not a spot but looked like the planet Saturn. All spots were that same green and turned a black when in the negative filter. I was not able to really look at what I was shooting because I was driving though it moves in elevation while the shot is taken at a very close same position from my window.

Pojoque, NM
• Sighting above Pojoaque, nm, in the mountains over Las Alamos, nm. 9:40-10:05 pm. From binoculars they looked like an egg shape objects with red and blue blinking lights, when I tried to take a picture I got a clear view through my camera lens of a larger shaped aircraft not egg shaped, but more of a triangular shape with lights clearly blinking bright red, blue and possibly some pink. Very beautiful but when I snapped to take the photo, nothing showed up. There was another person with me who has seen these several times before. • There were three to four objects in the area, none of which could be identified as stars. These we’re clearly very different.

Smokey Point Arlington, WA
Oct. 6, 2017 I was photographing a tree and saw a bright orb zip through the cosmos! It came past the moon and to earth, hovering above me. It then hid behind the light post as it split apart into flying ships. See through ships of different shapes. Oval, circles, lots of windows on the different levels. I thought it was a minute or two, but the date time stamps on photos prove that 12 minutes of time elapsed. They had no sound, and were very quick! They disappeared. I posted the photos on Facebook and tried to report this to you once before. There was a see through circle around each ship. Bluish green hue.

Monterey, CA
For 2 nights, starting 9/23 around 9:30pm, I saw a white spherical light on the horizon of NorthWest mountains. Strange large lights would fly above this larger light, and they flashed red, white, blue, and moved far too quickly in a bouncing motion to be an airplane. Living close to the airport I disregarded sightings until 9/25 about 10pm I noticed the larger light was no longer white but orange and had moved farther North. Same colored and shaped smaller lights continued to randomly hover in sparadic movements near orange light, until eventually speeding off in whatever directions or disappearing. 9/27 1am I see that large orange light is moving in circle formation and can also see an odd rectangular shape to light, or at a certain angle seemed like 2 lights determining shape to still be rectangular. I have also noticed that orange light has rocket some small white light from top of light, and moving like a missle (straight in sky) has also left some sort! of chem trail looking cloud for a considerable distance about 5 seconds. At 3:55am I became uncomfortable and sit in a chair on the opposite side of the window, and notice a floating green, white, and blue light that was quickly spinning and moving sporadically different directions. 4:08 green light has now moved South West toward my home in a bobbing or jumping formation. Light continues to weave forward and backward as if trying to hide behind clouds. 4:15am light is stationary every time I look at it, but within 2 secs begins to climb sky in much too fast a speed to be anything considered average. These occurrences are extremely frequent here, and I have spotted them on average 6:7 times per week since 2014 along with many other different descriptions. I can occasionally hear strange humming noise as well when lights come close enough, unlike any aircraft I have heard before. 9/27 absolutely zero stars out due to cloudy and overcast night.

Victor, ID
This occurred all night long. While circular lights bouncing in mid air turning blue. To a circular shape light bouncing from the back yard Toth e next lot next door turning into a beautiful gold shimmery ball all of a sudden disappear into nothing. Lights were lighting up an entire row of trees in the far back lot. Explosions of lights that are hard to explain. Then around 5 or 530am the wind sound seemed to move away and both of us witnessed triangular crafts with red lights on the back floating up on the mountain side sometimes shining spotlight down on ground. The two crafts seemed to join together and fly off. It was an absolutely amazing night still hard for us to believe. We stayed up the next night to see if we would witness the same thing and we did not. The back yard was pitch black all nigh5 long!!!

Sitting outside when we noticed what seemed to be a star bouncing around. Grabbed my iPhone to take photos and use Stargazer App. With the naked eye looked like a star. Zoomed into the object and took about 20 photos of the object as it changed shape and color.

Plains, PA
At 11:04 p.m. EST on 17 September, 2017, my mother yelled to me to look at the strange object in the sky. I grabbed my cell phone and went upstairs. We went to the deck in our backyard and she pointed out an object to the northeast in the sky. My first impressions were that it was changing colors and appeared to have multiple lights stacked in a vertical line. I suggested we get binoculars to try to get a better look at the object. I used a pair of 8-16x magnification binoculars; my mother used a set of old Navy ship binoculars (magnification unknown). My mother was the first to find the object in the sky and stated the object was moving in seemingly random directions for very short distances. She also noted it was changing shape and left a "tail" as it moved. I was able to find the object in my binoculars also and made the same observation. We watched the object for a period of time. We deduced it was not a star because of its movements and shape changes. The object was much brighter than the surrounding stars. We also assumed it was not a meteor because it did not follow a linear path. A plane was also ruled out for the same reason as a meteor. After a period of observation with binoculars I decided to try to video tape the object with my cell phone (Samsung Galaxy S6). I was able to do so and attached one of three videos I took. I also took 13 photos, one of which was attached. I tried to file this report last night, but the MUFON server because non-responsive (probably because of the size of the attachments. The attached video is 7 minutes long. I have 2 other videos that are about 22 minutes each (22+22+7 = 51 total minutes of video). During the event, I texted my sister and 2 brothers. My brother decided to drive over and observe the object. He arrived around 12:25 a.m. and left around 1:34 a.m. He observed the object the entire time. My mother and I both went into the house before my brother arrived. I came out to talk to him briefly before retiring to bed. We have seen UFOs on 2 other occasions from the same location with a number of witnesses. The previous sightings were of a clearly visible disc object (seen twice). During one sighting, the disc was escorted by 2 other crafts, with an additional object moving towards the group of three as if to intersect the travel path. Here is a link to the additional pictures and videos. This is my google drive. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxDZrYioLeWnalU4R1hBWUNOSm8 I also included some daytime photos for reference.

South Oklahoma City, OK
I was laying in my hammock on the back porch looking directly West, clear skies, no clouds, sunny evening. The sun was almost on the horizon and in the distance I could see what looks like a contrail illuminated by light (contrail approximately 45 degrees to horizon). Seen that a thousand times, but this looked different. I decided to get my Leupold binoculars and take a look. It appeared to be a small aircraft but appeared triangular...it was spewing out what appeared to some sort of liquid...as portions of it were clouds but denser portions were dropping...very similar to a plane dumping water over a forest fire...which I have witnessed many times while living in Colorado/NM. This was different as the craft was climbing vertical as it was spewing this whitish liquid. The contrail's base was flared and narrowed as it came closer to the craft. I decided to get my camera w/ telephoto lens. Went inside to get it...approximately 30 seconds...came back o! utside and the contrail and the object were both gone. This is the part I can't figure out. I watched it for about 4 minutes, viewed it for 30 seconds with binoculars, 30 seconds later it disappears. Never seen anything like this before. Object appeared to be several miles up. Rationally I thought perhaps a fuel dump over a populated area? I just don't know. Very strange.

Dearborn Heights, MI
I was in my back yard in the city of Dearborn Heights, Michigan, and observed a pulsating object in the sky. I quickly started filming the object with my 4k video camera on a tripod. The object appeared stationary, yet changed shape and color. I managed to capture video and still images which were captured from the video itself. Other people also reported seeing this object on social media. I am a retired police pilot with a commercial rating. I have never seen an aircraft with these characteristics. We spoke with the witness via telephone, and viewed the video he forwarded to NUFORC. We suspect that what he was observing was a "twinkling" star, and given that he was looking to the west, the most likely candidate, we believe, is the star called, "Arcturus." PD

Maison, WI
Not military. Not drone. Not a bird. Not a helium filled balloon, because likely that would have gained altitude. The flattening part was weird, like a plate was on edge vertically, spinning around on the vertical axis occasionally. If that wasn't enough, the thing's twin followed, maybe a few miles behind, following the same path; same slow speed, altitude, direction, silence and occasional spin. My friend witnessed this as well.

Oval I think. Blimp shape. No fins. Seemed to get flatter then longer. Then disappeared in a blink of my eye. I had a feeling it knew I saw it. Kinda like it was hiding. Didn't look like a falling star. It didn't really move. It was there, then it wasn't. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Cochrane (Canada), AB · Canada
So i was looking out my balcony and the back deck on a summer night. I noticed the first initial light just turn on as like a lamp one solid orangeish light as seen in the video. i then stared noticing other ones faintly flashing around it after a few minutes i never thought much when i seen the first one just sitting but when i seen the others appearing I pulled out my phone to film. I witnessed with my eyes in detail the events pictured in the videos so i know that whats seen is accurate to what was happening no camera flares or shines etc. pitch black in country side. So as i continued watching and filming the once solid light became hollow like a ring and i started to notice other ones sort of splitting out of it like when cells multiply and they would appear all in different brightness's going either up or down but making crescent shapes as they appear. That continued for maybe 2-3 minutes from the initial light i seen appear in the sky as it it was turned on and it sat still then progressed into what you see in the video and explained. After it was done it formed a waning crescent moon and remained in the sky the entire night till morning and i could see the moon still in the sky during say time the next day. The color of the seen lights was a orange color similar to headlights until it changed into the moon is was a very bright moon with the normal color you see in the moon at night when its bright. There were no aircraft seen flying during the report landing or taking off as there is a small private airport a few kilometres to the North of where the video was taken. Sky was mostly clear very few clouds no rain, no wind no recent storms. I did have a weird feeling that i felt almost being watched or observed when i started recording and before i was recording only small lights were flashing around it similar to seen in the first clip solid balls not ring like also pictured later. I've never been a big UFO person but to this day that was one of the many strange things ive seen living out in the country where i can better observe the sky and the only thing I've been able to record to date. I also witnessed only via camera a second UFO seen appearing as almost blue/white energy looking thing I've never really known how to describe it i noticed it on camera while taking photos of the moon after it finished and was just sitting as the moon and when i zoomed in i seen what appeared to be "energy" as it looked like it was flowing or moving kinda like electricity and it was one strong line going horizontally slightly tiled and above was lighter lines in 2 spiked patterns that also seemed to flow with energy. i was able to observe this for about 10 minutes before it just kinda faded out slowly till it was gone it never moved any directs on made lights or changed in any was i didn't notice how it came to appear i just seen it on camera. The "moon" remained all night with no further changes after its initial ones. The videos were posted to my instagram account several years ago im trying to get the originals or save them in a better manner if i am able to i will be these are same footage just screen recorded from my page as i couldnt download the videos as files.

The UFO shape shifted from an FAA tower indicator light, then it ascended quickly, descended rapidly. It scanned tree tops and houses over and behind Freeport Rd. It had a hammer of thor shaped movement. It was performing maneuvers that are impossible for a Prop drone. It defied our laws of physics in it's graceful movements. It then headed towards Plum and Pittsburgh PA.

Treasure Island, FL
Suddenly, all lights turned out and the giant white light turned directly at us and you could follow the path of light straight out from our beach house. It got even brighter and then disappeared for about 30 seconds. At this time, my cat ran out of my house and down onto the beach and was fixated on the lights. All the lights came back on, but this time they were vertically stacked like a tower and moving all over. Instantly, my cat ran very quickly back into the house and under a bed. A few minutes later, the lights turned out again and this time about 20 seconds later, turned back on but they had moved from where they were and now sat about a mile to the south of where they just were 20 seconds earlier. We reported it on the non emergency line of treasure island police dept. 2 officers responded and drove on the beach. They stopped immediately when they saw it and called me back to inform me that they see it, and aren't sure what it may be. They said the coast guard does training off shore sometimes but they normally are made aware in advance so they can field calls, like the call I made. The officer stated that they had not been made aware of any training exercise tonight and would try and figure out what it is. All of a sudden, the entire object and lights vanished. Not a trace in sight. As soon as they disappeared, both officers immediately turned their vehicles around and left the area and wouldn't stop to talk to my husband, who tried waving them down. Something very strange just happened, and no one seems to know exactly what this was.
