Myrtle Beach, SC
I just saw 4 strange lights in the sky. Very bright red and yellow (not blinking like a plane}. They started out in a diamond shape and two moved off to the right and the other two stayed in one place. Then one moved to the left outta sight for about a minute and appeared again. They seemed to be going in an upward path. Then one disappeared and a minute later the other disappeared. I'll let you be the judge. Meteors? or UFO's. Oh I have the video. I'll upload it later.. I have never seen this kind of thing before. 7/15/2017

Lapine, OR
Around 2pm, I heard a jet and looked up at it, just then I noticed a white-silver metallic object much higher. The object appeared to be rotating and changing shape, as it glistened against the sun. I asked my Girlfriend and her 15 year old son to look at it and they both had no explanation. The three of us looked at it through binoculars for about a half an hour. The object seemed to get further away, until we couldn't see it anymore.

Clinton, CT
Out of nowhere to my left appeared these tiny orange lights, at least 15 of them. First they were in a few S formations then a large triangle then just a blob I guess you could say. I couldn't take a picture because I was driving 70 mph and my mother isn't extremely tech savvy. It seemed that they were just hovering, as i said i was driving 70mph and no matter how far i drove they were still above me. Within 4 minutes, I had suddenly passed them and they vanished. I had the most eerie feeling and have checked the papers today and there's no mention of any explanation. I may not know what they were but i know that it was not a bunch of planes, shooting stars or meteors. I can't stop thinking about those lights!!

Mt. Morrison, CO
On Friday, July 7th, 2017, 21:55 MST, we saw one round object hoovering around the antenna tower on Mnt. Morrison between Interstate 70 and Road 74 – West of C-470. It was changing shape and colors. The shapes were changing from circle, to oval and at one time it changed and looked like a big cross. The colors were changing from flashing bright light, to green, blue and red. At one time it appeared to be standing still or landed and than it started flying again towards Green Mountain location and coming back and later flying above Denver to the East. In the last few minutes it was joined by 2 similar objects, which disappeared shortly after.

Larmont, NY
After viewing fireworks set off from a boat in the middle of Premium Millpond, and after the sched New Rochelle Fireworks show ended, which we were able to view from a distance, The sky was clear. There was a lot of air traffic (planes and helicopters) due to airports nearby towards the city on and off throughout the night, but the sky was clear, very dark a the time my fiance' and I saw a glowing red light moving very slowly towards our direction (coming from the south) over the trees I believe had to five island park. As it got closer we noticed that there were no other lights, just a red circular round glowing orb, the outline of it was red and the inside was more of an orangish red color. As it moved even closer it started changing shape, by "stretching"? Downward almost like a teardrop until it was completely vertical, like a very short thick laser beam, it had a very wierd glow around it, It than went back up into its orb like shape. It ! did this same teardrop thing two or three more times as it moved across the sky (very low) To the right of us (east). At last sight of it the red orb was very big and bright, it bursted out in the way a firework would in the sky, but than it came back to shape very small and orange colored and just disappeared. We recorded it, but on the video where the orb morphes ito a vertical beam like thing, the camera captured a completely different maneuver. It looked nothing like it did as I saw it in front me. Both the sighting and footage showed an object doing things that are completely unexplainable.

Garden City Beach, SC
While watching Murrells Inlet Fireworks, I watched a number of lights positioned at various points surrounding me, and changing position, color, and apparent shape frequently. Some remained fairly stationary, retaining their magenta/red hue, seemingly drifting up, down, and sideways un-eventfully, yet maintaining their brightness. Others would blink on, grow brighter, and race from position to position, moving what I estimate to be about a mile in seconds. Some would dim and blink out, only to re-appear nearby, growing brighter as they moved rapidly from side to side, then up and down. The best was a magenta light that changed to a brilliant emerald green color and started blinking rapidly. This ship stayed close, brilliant and visible the whole time I was watching. There was also one very bright stationary magenta craft that followed this same pattern. I could not make out craft shapes due to their distance from me, however there is no doubt they were intelligently controlled, and in my opinion, 'not from around here'. It was very interesting that although there were about 30 folks with us watching the fireworks, none saw the lights, or at least none remarked as such. All of this stopped once the fireworks were over. One craft that did come close, may have had a bell shape, not sure. AMAZING!!!

Patchogue, NY
This craft was soon joined by a second identical craft. The lights on both crafts turned green. Each craft had multiple lights. Eventually, after the fireworks performance ended (around 10:20 pm), the two craft slowly headed North until they couldn't be seen again. We could only see the lights of the craft. They could have been drones. If so, they were expensive (high tech) ones.

Also had vertical bar-like, cage-like, look. Has the sun set the object seem to fade into the distance, get smaller finally disappearing without movement left or right. Used to spotting scope on tripod to focus for this description. 4 people we're on site and duplicated the description.

Forest Lake, MN
I was heading north on 35w. I was just passing forest lake exit, when I noticed an object flying in the air. This object was in a shape of a long oval with a small, oval-shaped object right next to it. It was moving very fast. When I looked up at it it was shape shifting to 3 little ovals then shaped into 4 little ovals flying in align of one another heading from the east side of sky to North west sky. I watched until it disappeared. I pulled off at Wyoming Exit, and it was nowhere in the sky. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Aurora, CO
We were sitting outside late afternoon and noticed a stationary light at high altitude. It appeared to be “twinkling” and we wondered if it might be a weather balloon. Looking at it through binoculars, we saw that it appeared to be a sphere with two smaller spheres that were either rotating around it, or the object itself was revolving, as the central sphere would shine a very bright light which would then disappear, only to reappear within a second or two. We had a difficult time at first determining its shape because of the brightness of this light that appeared and disappeared. The light, which we at first thought might be just reflection, was very strong, and seemed to have a “diffraction” effect around the edges, which were blurry and rainbow colored. We decided that it was no reflection, but that the sphere was actually emanating the light. After about 15 minutes, the object drifted north, and we followed its path, still observing through binoculars. The drift made us decide it might be a balloon after all, but we kept watching because it was so unusual. After about 10 minutes, it drifted south again, to return to its original spot. This of course sharpened our focus, as its movements were now not simple “drifting,” but purposeful. Then, suddenly, it started to head west, which would bring it almost overhead. It accelerated slowly at first, and as we watched we noticed that its form seemed to shift. Overhead, we could see that the material it was made of was extremely shiny, almost like glass, and highly reflective. The object was flying in a straight line but it “rocked” and “pitched” a little, so that the light emanating from it plus the reflectivity made it difficult to determine what was happening, as it seemed to be changing shape, elongating, and splitting into a boomerange shape, but with a middle sectio! n that was slightly smaller than the two edges. Within a few seconds it lost all luminosity and became a dull dark grey triangle with what looked like 5 darker circles, one at each apex and two between those at the top and bottom. It flew perpendicular to the earth so we could see the shape clearly, and rapidly disappeared in the distance. After about twenty minutes, we looked in the same direction we had originally seen it, and it was back in the same spot, but this time at a much higher altitude. It stayed in that spot for about ten minutes, looking like the sphere with the light and the two smaller spheres rotating around it, then it changed to the dark grey triangle again. Suddenly what looked like a puff of “vapor” emerged from it and the triangle shaped shrank rapidly and disappeared.

As I'm staring at it, it starts pulsating, and I immediately fumble for my phone so I can try and record and take pictures. Which didn't turn out as great as I hoped. But then the singular ball breaks off into the 4 balls shown in the picture and continuous break down into more faint balls. A total of 9, I believe? But then became more faint as they broke down. Until eventually it become a glowing mist blob that dissipated. Was truly a breathtaking experience. The one picture turned out better than I had expected. And is beautiful but confusing at the same time. You can see the outline of the colors and in the last few the glowing mist I was talking about. Idk what to make of this. (the photos where enhanced so that way they could be seen better) Rocket launch from Wallops Island. PD

I have video this time. The event occurrred one hour later this time and was only 30 mins. I have 10 mins. of video. It appears to be a cluster perhaps with smaller ships around a large ship. During my last previous sighting (6/21) there was a flash beam. During that sighting I was awakened from sleep at 3am to see this. Furthermore, I was so ill 48 hrs later (6/23) that I couldn't get out of bed. I hope the two aren't related. I did not get any sleep hardly on 6/21 or 6/22, so I was very sleep deprived. I did hear an airplane in this video also, and it is on the tape, but it was coming from a different direction and I never saw it.

Longview, WA
It started a few days ago. I was watering my plants on the front porch, when I saw this bright object in the sky. At first I thought it was a meteor, and I told my father's girlfriend to come look. She saw it as well, my father merely glanced at it from the backyard and said it was a "plane or something." It was flying near Baker's Corner store in Longview, WA. I knew it wasn't a plane crashing down or a meteor because it had no smoke billowing from it. I recorded the part where it shaped into a ball from its fireball shape. It was a very bright silver metallic that reflected in the sunset. However, the recording is saved onto my snapchat so I am unable to post here... Yesterday, my friends and I went to Willow Grove Beach in Longview. We stopped at Baker's Corner like we normally do to get tea and such for the hot day ahead of us (we have had record heat already). When we got to the grove, however, this man came up to us in a van and told us that the park was closing in ten minutes. I wanted to tell him, "Oh, okay, thank you," but all that came out was, "Oh" and I turned around and walked to the beach. I don't know what came over me, but I was very afraid of him, as were my friends. We swam for a while with some friends, and once our friends were with us they stopped patrolling. During our time in the water we noticed that there was a party taking place further down the beach and the security had not stopped to inform them of the curfew. We stayed for maybe 30 min until another van came down the trail with its light flashing. They were headed for us, so we rushed out of the water to my friend's truck. They followed slowl! y down the trail. They were both wearing sunglasses and they were pale, I didn't look at them long. We left and went to eat at a restaurant in the sister town, but after dinner, I realized I had forgotten my purse. It wasn't in the restaurant, so we had to drive all the way back to willow. My chest hurt as we got closer to our destination, it was almost hard to breathe. My friends seemed nervous as well. It might have been because of the creepy security men before, but it felt much heavier than that. As we started down the 2 mile stretch of road to the beach, the truck began acting strange. The lights flickered and turned off then on and the brights turned on etc., and at first I thought it was my friend messing with the lights until she said, "Did you guys see that?" I looked up from my phone which was glitching out and focused on the lights on the road. They turned off for a moment, the radio was disrupted, and it was eerily quiet. Then the internal lights turned on brighter than I had seen them and the windshield wipers started ging at full speed, the gages twitched and flickered and then everything went dark. We could see under the moon and decided to turn around in a farmers driveway right before the boat launch. The lights came back and we took off. We all felt sick and sufficiently spooked, and as we turned left back towards the highway, a huge white owl swooped down behind the truck and into the tall grass on the other side of the road. We got back to our friends after midnight, which was strange because the grove isn't very far from where she lived. What do you all think? Is there a correlation between the strange curfew and the strange security van men? The owl? The ufo?

Me and my friend where sitting in the front yard and I noticed an object floating like what seemed like was a a balloon or some sort of odd thing floating through the sky. we watched it going down behind a house, but then it started to rise again and when it did it came right above us , and the shape was sort of oval, then it sped away and broke up into many pieces and then all of the sudden as fast as it sped off it came back in the shape of many Circles moving like a slinky toy (It reminded me of the movie the Matrix during the fight Scenes and the way their hands where moving) and it came right toward us. Since me and my friend was in my front yard, my friend started to run in the house, me I walked toward it, and it came toward me, then the UFO. Stopped right above me. It was like a circle with a red light in the middle we stared at each other for about I would say for about 5 minutes because I walked right up to it (it was about 5to10 feet above my he! ad, and then it turned and left the same way it came.

video URLs: https://youtu.be/KS5gREkNpzg https://youtu.be/dwYCANyaWF4 My sister and I were driving in very slow traffic over the Manhattan Bridge, around 4 or 5pm on June 21st. She spotted this very slow moving object drifting over Manhattan. No idea what it was. We thought maybe a flock of birds or balloons but it seemed a bit big for both of them. When we saw planes flying they were small in comparison, reflective and moving much faster. Any ideas?

I saw this last week and reported it then on 6/10 and lo and behold it shows up again. Same time and place. I had looked for a few days after the first sighting and did not see it and then viola-- last night it shows up. This time though, I was asleep and not looking for it at all. It was if I was jolted awake to see it again precisely at 3am.

At one point it looked to have blown out some smoke/light around it. It headed east after about 15-20 minutes. Looked back up five minutes later to see another sphere floating above, this one white and not reflective. The metal one came back and they hovered together for about 15 minutes. I glanced away and they were gone.

Dodge City, KS
As I watched I threw flashlight signals at it with a phone and it seemed to have came apart from itself into 2 objects, then back into itself. Very bright and very close it moved in a direction toward me and then back. I did not see it leave but just slowly continue to ascend. Made video record of it and felt intimidated like I was being watched so I left the area I was in. It moved in a very strange hovering way. Guessing it was most likely the size of a large bus in oval to round shape. As it was being recorded, it seemed to shimmer and go from orange color to white. Sighting of Venus, we suspect. PD

I was laying in bed and saw a light in the sky out my bedroom balcony door window. I thought it was a street lamp at first, but it was not. It was high in the sky south east of my house. It appeared to change shape from like a star to a triangle and/or diamond shape. It must has been quite large for me to have thought is was a streetlight. It was slowly moving north west toward me and higher in the sky, as I had the frame of my door to use as a reference. It got so I had to get up out of my bed to continue watching it. By 5 am you could not see it anymore. It also seemed to have some colored lights possibly such as orange and blue but I was too far away from it to be sure about that. Did anyone else notice this?

I had just stepped out side and I saw something in the southern sky. I saw a blue to a teal green light with a smaller white light to the east of the blue one. Both lights looked to be part of the same object. I first thought I was looking at an airplane turning to the north. All the sudden the blue teal light gets very large and bright at the same time. That lasted no more then 2 seconds, then the white light grew in size and got brighter as the blue teal one shrunk in size. But did not grow to the size of the blue teal light. The lights looked to have had a grey haze around them. The white light shrunk to a dull red to amber color and disappeared.

I went inside and grabbed my binoculars and came out to see more. There it was still looking like a star but far to twinkly and moving. I moved my position to the back yard (where it was darker)and proceeded to watch for any change. I see it appear to be dancing and changing shape into an ancient harp or a circular shape, then dancing again..... I don't know, the sky is very clear tonight with a crescent moon.... Go out and look.

Northfield, NH
Shortly after 11 p.m. at night, I had walk out back of our apartment complex to walk to the laundry facility. Always looking up at the sky as I normally do. As I got closer to the laundry room door, I noticed past the other apartment building on the main road in the distance there is a river in which above that river caught my eye a giant ball coming straight down over the river. It was very white and bright almost little yellow on the outside of it. I can only explain that it almost look pixel like it was very very bright and something in my head just went wow that is way too big to be a shooting star and it wouldn't go in that direction straight down into the water nor would or could a star be that close to town that close and it was way too large. At that point the hair on my entire body stood on end I immediately called my husband who was upstairs in our apartment with our Sleeping Son. Which I will include that he did not. After a few moments of speaking with him on the phone I had proceeded into the laundry room to switch over the laundry. I been texted my mother. And proceeded to walk out of the laundry room I had looked up the area in which the North Star was position that evening which coming out of the laundry room was to the left side of me way up in the sky period I then noticed strange lights in the distance I thought that's not a plane at all is it a drone and then as I was looking at it I was very focused and drawn to it I begin to feel very strange the lights are with something that caught my eye they were red and white almost in square formation going white red white red flashing oddly and as I was fixated on this thing I noticed it change shape it was hard to see because it was night time but it was like the formation of lights changed and all of a sudden it was like it had shape-shifted to a strange shape I had never seen before at that point I ask myself maybe this is a plane and then I realized that it was pretty approaching fast over my apartment building coming straight down towards me hi knew that I had to break eye contact with it for some reason I did proceeded to yell for my husband where it was warm that night and all the windows and are building are open at least in our apartment by the time I got to the front steps of my building my husband was outside I was very disoriented very nauseous I was dizzy I felt very very strange. By that time my husband was outside and I was trying to explain to him what I had just seen and we walked out back together but the same time I began to get very anxious very nervous I was very uneasy I just wanted to go inside. At that point something with the strange lights appeared almost in the same facility where I had seen the craft and we didn't hear anything and it was very low but it appeared to have the same exact lights shortly after we heard the sounds of what appeared to be a plane but it was definitely not a plane and he could see to that it was not a plane it was very strange it was almost like lots of s! quare flashing windows on the bottom it was really weird they like illuminated all around this craft. There were no wing patterns on either things that we had seen and on the one that had seen by myself, there were no noises; it was eerily quiet outside. We spoke with the witness, and found her to be both sincere, and serious-minded. We have urged her to contact the press to get some publicity for the event, and perhaps have other witnesses come forward. PD
