Becket, MA
Observed cluster of aprox 20 dim orbs traveling at same velocity from the northern horizon. Objects first appeared in V formation, then changed configuration, best described as a bee swarm, covering about a four finger length in the sky. No sound, steady brightness, looked similar to Pleides star cluster, except numbering 20. Observed by myself. and by another on-duty officer. Moved to South.

Missoula, MT
Walking towards the Rattlesnake Valley from the corner of E Broadway and Van Buren, myself and a friend saw what initially appeared like a helicopter, but I realized very quickly, due to the fact that you couldn't see propellers, that it couldnt be a helicopter. It was white, oval shape, but it also was very hazy around the object, it had a large orangey red light, and a blue light on the visible side of it. From our vantage point, we could see that it was well past the 'L' on Mt. Jumbo, which is just over a mile away, but as it would move towards us or away from us, or uoward, its size never changed. We watched it for about 4 or 5 minutes, and then it simply vanished, like a switch turned it off.

Antioch, CA
My husband and daughter and I were sitting in the backyard around 9:00, waiting to watch for the meteor shower, when a red light, traveling in the flight pattern (west to east), came up. My husband asked what it was, I thought it was a helicopter but it made no sound, and as it passed over our house, there were no blinking lights, and it appeared to be oval in shape. A few seconds later, another light appeared, this time green. This repeated over a 20 minute period when another red light appeared then a white light appeared then another red. These lights moved in the same way a helicopter would and seemed about the same distance from the ground. Again, all lights were silent. We saw 1 red, and 1 green light about 2 nights before this, as well. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Good Morning Mr. Davenport, The time was 2100 hours. The objects appeared to be moving from west to east with a local flight pattern. They seemed to be about the size of a helicopter. There were no noticeable winds or changes as they went by and they were silent. I will try to get further information. They were bright like LED lights but they were not moving like balloons or anything. They moved similarly like a helicopter would and at about the same altitude. Very consistent. I hope this helps. I will forward further information as it is obtained. ((END ADDENDUM))

Montville, NJ
Travelling west on I-80 near Exit 48, I observed two oval white glowing objects just hovering above the tree tops it was for approximately 3-5 seconds then as the car travelled the trees came into view. It was at approximately 21:40 hours. It appeared that one of the craft was in distress because it was blinking and the other was not. The were very close together.

Also, when looking through the binoculars, the object had a light trail following it. I was far away over another mountain and had a red light that would flash on top for brief periods of time. It disappeared and about 4 plans were fly in the area! Very interesting experience.

Onset, MA
Saw 6 or 7 light orange orbs hanging in the air over the water in Onset or Buzzards Bay. Just like the airplanes at night kind of hanging in the air, waiting their turn to land at LAX (Los Angeles ). We have never seen anything like this and drove immediately to the pier in Onset to see them. They were gone within the 3 or 4 minutes that it took for us to get to the pier.

Manado (Indonesia) · Indonesia
Malalayang Satu, Malalayang, Kota Manado, Sulawesi Utara On the 8/9/17, at around 3pm, I saw in the sky a formation of 7 white flying objects, I called my wife and daughter and they could see the same things; that were made up of one large white UFO, and 6 smaller UFO's, the largest appeared to be circular the other appeared to be more of a boomerang shape, I first saw them at about the 1 o'clock position from where I was standing facing to the north, they were traveling slowly across the blue sky at a height of about 7 to 10,000 meters, as they looked to be just lower than the cirrostratus but well above the cirrocumulus cloud that was in the same general location as the ufo's, the 5 smaller ufo's were being maneuvered similar to fighter jets during refueling from a tanker at high altitude, but none appeared to be in a tethered position and after a few minutes jockeyed around for a position to form a formation with the biggest ufo slightly in the lead, with 2 smaller ufo's taking a position to the port side the others to the starboard side of the large ufo, as they traveled west they traveled in a direct line except for some of the smaller ufo's that moved gradually closer then then slowly away from the larger ufo, I could see this quite clearly for about 4 to 5 minutes but as they traveled away from me the smaller ufo's disappeared from vision by then the larger ufo was just a pinpoint in the sky the last position I could see the UFO was at the 11 o'clock position and still flying to the west. I tried to take some photos, but my Olympus camera had flat batteries, and the phone camera couldn't focus.

On 08/02/2017, at approximately 1143 pm, I went outside my house to turn my sprinkler off for the night. After I had done so I could hear a very loud hum. I looked to the sky facing southwest and I could see 20 to 25 white lights going in a clockwise motion across the sky. The lights were attached to something very large and were blinking in the clockwise sequence around an object. The area that these lights covered took up most of the horizon. The area around the lights was totally blacked out, you could see no stars or the moon at all. While I watched the object and lights, it did not appear to be moving. If it was moving it appeared to be doing so very slowly. The loud humming sound was definitely coming from the direction of the lights. It was a very odd sound, not like an airplane. The sound was more like a pulsing hum, but very loud. In fact, you could feel the vibration from the sound. After watching the object for a couple of minutes, I ran and got my Dad out of bed so he could see this as well. My dad brought his cell phone with him so we could try to film this. I have uploaded that video to youtube. My dad also was able to witness the object as well. We watched this thing for another minute or two as it began to travel to the Northwest away from us. We were able to see the lights still going in a clockwise sequence around the object until it faded out of our view. The youtube video, which is too dark for me to see anything, is more of an audio clip, if the volume is up you can hear the hum though. Here is the web address for the video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcC0PR1Af8M

On the night of 8/02/2017, I went to bed at about 11:00 pm. At about 11:30 pm, my son came knocking at the door saying you need to come out and see this thing. When I walked out side and went behind our shop I saw a ring of lights that appeared to go around this extremely large dark object, The lights flashed one at a time and went around the object clockwise. What really was amazing was the size, it seemed to take up a third of the western sky. The other thing that we noticed was the noise it was producing, It sounded like a steady thrum and was vibrating things around us. It slowly moved of to the west and faded from sight. The sky was fairly dark due to smoke from fire and the light was subdued from the smoke. Stars were visible were the object wasn't but we were awed by the area it occupied. My son grabbed my cell phone and tried to record it and mainly got the sound. The lights on the object were white. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite credible and sincere, as did his son. Please see the similar report regarding a similar sighting a few minutes later near Lincoln, WA, on the Columbia River. PD

Buffalo, NY
Buffalo, NY 7/31/17 Sometime between 9-11 pm, while sitting in my backyard, I saw a low flying oval shape for a split second, flying through lower branches of trees in my yard, moving in a west easterly direction. I believe it was bright green in the front and bright white in the back, about the size of a football and completely silent. I have never seen anything like this in my life. Background of observer: 62 year old woman, Masters Degree in Psychology. Worked for State of NY for 31 years. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she seemed to us to be both quite sincere, and sober-minded. She reports that the object was back-dropped by the nearby trees, and not just against the nighttime sky. Hence, she was able to deduce that the object was fairly close to her position. PD

RESUBMIT WITH MORE DETAIL. Saw the Oval lighted craft pull up 11:20PM lights lasted around one minute average. While it drove their were constant lights going on like headlights. But the light it emitted during that minute was the brightest I had ever seen. Never seen anything that can stay stationary until last night. After the lights it headed towards W Washington. It did this light thing at the top of the hill over some trees. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Saw it pull up with bright lights, floating semi close to the ground, but I was in the valley below looking upwards at the top of the tree covered hill. It was barely above the trees. It made a stationary stop and started to emit a very very bright light that illuminated for around a minute. It had no flashing red lights like planes usually do, so intrigued I began to take a look. It pulls up with large white lights above the trees and stops, it then starts the lights. I was scared because it was moving quite slow in comparison to that of a normal plane. These lights lasted roughly one minute average. I even recorded it on my phone in person I was staring at the blinding light. In my recording, I was able to capture the image and even notice what seemed to be a second spacecraft blinking in a non-rhythmic pattern.

Wilsonville, OR
I was standing outside on the porch to look around and check the weather, and looked up for unknown reason(s). I saw a bright oval shaped object traveling in an south to north declination at approximately 45 deg as I was roughly facing north. It was a silvery bright color almost like an LED light. I immediately grabbed my binoculars and got the object in sight. I zoomed in and could not make out any shape other than oval. It had be traveling at relatively high speed from my vantage point and appeared larger than a satellite. When I initially saw it with my naked eye, I believe that I made the best sighting at that time. The object had no red, green, or any other blinking lights. It made no sound.

Custer, SD
Hiking along Devils Tower Trail Number 4, around midnight with a group of 6 people. We stopped for a break about a quarter mile up the trail from the Sylvan Lake trailhead. We noticed a small orange bright object hovering to the west. The object slowly hoovered from west to east traveling at about 10 miles an hour. It went directly over us and was about 150 feet above our group. Not a single sound just a bright orange object the size of a car tire. After about 2 minutes it disappeared into the night. Flying in a perfect line and not making a single sound as it cut through the air.

I was at a red night with plenty of other cars and maybe a few thousand feet up was a aircraft I’ve never seen before. It was hovering up and down and side to side. It was so crazy to me (and everyone around was looking up at it) we’re looking at each other looking for answers and it held the whole light up. I took my phone out and took a video a perfectly clear video with me commentating and everything. When I went back later to show my wife, the phone was zoomed in on the corner with the aircraft not visible whatsoever. You can hear me talking and explaining what we were looking at, but the camera was zoomed in somewhere else. I know for an absolute 100% fact I took a GOOD video of the aircraft. By far the most crazy unexplainable thing I’ve ever seen. I’m not even into stuff like this but this was truly something out of this world. It was HUGE, HOVERING in place with no wings or anything like that. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Dublin (Ireland) · Ireland
We ding dong ditched his house loud enough to wake the whole estate and ran away thinking we were great. On the way home, we walked through another nearby housing estate. I noticed in the sky that there was a white, circular object flying slowly through the air, shining bright enough to be noticed but not so bright that if I'd told my friend "look at that" she'd see it instantly. It was a clear, starry night so I doubted she'd see it in time. I said nothing. It didn't fly steadily like a plane or helicopter. It was ebbing and flowing ever so slightly, coming from the right to the left. It went across the sky before disappearing in the most unusual way. Imagine a clock, with the hands both at twelve. In the space of two or three seconds, both hands went around the circle in a clockwise motion, with each section disappearing into black. The hands got to three, and so from twelve to three was black, and then they went to six, so from twelve to six was black. Once the hands got back to twelve the entire circle of light that had clumsily flown through the air had vanished, almost like boiled water turning into steam. It's something I only think of occasionally, sometimes when I'm walking through that same housing estate, but I thought it was worth reporting. I do believe I saw a UFO that night.

WE sighted it from are porch about 11000 feet in the air. It was mercury colored it moved in an arch pattern. Me and my two son saw it my middle boy age 16 saw it first then I saw it and my little boy saw it age 11. I it was hard to see but we all though it looked different then it just got out of range of sight. This is the first one we have ever see I am not saying it could of been a jet but I do not know thanks.

Grand Saline, TX
We went to the local High School here in Grand Saline, Texas, to fly our drones, DJI Phantom 4. As we took off for our first flight, the both of us we saw to the south these 25-30 white dots to the south moving to the north staying in a close formation. The other drone operator went higher to maybe 400 feet, but the objects were still way up high. At one point I saw a jet aircraft way up crossing the path of these dots, looked like a commercial jet but was really high up going to the east. I moved up to around 400 feet, also, and tilted the camera up, but could not tell if I was getting any video on my Samsung Note 4 small screen I had from video. I went and got my binoculars and it looks like golf balls. They were moving to the north so I was able to turn my drone towards them and in the video recorded 1080HD. My SD card played back on large screen, and you can see them right in through the propellers and right before they pass over another one comes from behind and catches up into the formation. I have no idea what they were, but was really strange. As they passed over us, they disappeared going to the north. YouTube video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxetKT4TPOA
