Seen a color changing, light fading ball and then transformed into a cigar then back to a ball. it was hovering above the area of st.mary's hospital. My girlfriend was the first to witness the ufo thinking it was a star. Until we started seeing it move in every direction. There's no way a plane wouldve stayed in our sight that long. There's no way a helicopter would have hovered that long or probably be allowed to over the hospital air space. It was not a drone because it had very bright color changing lights. It was not ball lightning because at most that lasts less than 30 seconds, and this went on for 45 minutes. At some points, we thought we seen some lights fly off of it. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

My friend and I have just seen the same exact object in the sky that was described to us also by her sister and father earlier in the month, but did not believe it at the time. Tonight it is 68°, no clouds. Just a calm and warm night. Appeared to be higher than aircrafts in altitude and distance, yet also seemed very large in size and almost translucent. The craft looked like many contiguous circles changing formation with rope-like structures behind it, that could be described to as shaped like DNA. Then continued to change shape to a round, arched object before getting out of view. It moved slow the whole time, but was only in our sight for about 3 minutes. Possible sighting of Venus?? PD

I was leaving a friend's house when I noticed erratic movement in the sky. I pulled out my phone and leaned against my vehicle to stabilize. I zoomed in as muh as possible and began recording. The object was moving very fast and erratic. I tried to take pictures of it, and it kept disappearing, when I would click for a photo.

I know this is going to sound crazy... it sounds crazy even as I type it. But, I'm sure that you've heard it all. I swear to you that this is not a hoax or some psycho bullshit. I am a VP of Communications for a bank and I never truly believed in UFOs until my best friend and roommate showed me the video she took last night on my camera. Last weekend, I saw something strange in the sky, but quickly blew it off because I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. It was stationary... it looked like a very bright star, but every once awhile it looked like it was changing color and glowing a bit red. I asked my friend at the time... do you see that? Is it my eyes? Does that star look like it's glowing red? She dismissed it pretty quickly and said, "Maybe it's Jupiter. Sometimes you can see Jupiter in the night sky." Okay. Sounded plausible to me. So, I stopped looking, continued to enjoy the fire in our firepit in our backyard and didn't think about i! t again. Well, last night, I wasn't feeling well, so I went to bed early. My friend had one of our other friends over for company and they were out back at the firepit. They were looking at the night sky and commenting on how pretty it was because it was so clear and they could see so many stars. It was then that they saw a bright glowing object that was moving in an odd way. They continued to stare at it and realized that it definitely wasn't a star. It also was not a plane. It looked like it was changing shape slightly and it would get very bright, then start to dim and they could also see the faint changes in color. She ran into the house to grab my camera. I have an expensive Canon camera that will zoom in 80x. It also takes video. When she zoomed in and started the video, she could not believe what she was seeing. And neither could I. I am still stunned as I type this. It's so hard to describe without you seeing it (we are trying to figure out how to download it from the camera and upload onto YouTube), but the circular light would start to flash colors that weren't visible to the naked eye... you could only see it through the camera lense when it was magnified. It would flash colors and then look like it explodes - or radiates out - dissipates and then forms back into a bright circular light. Almost like some sort of strange emanating force-field or something. It would also move straight up, back down, to the right, the left, etc. It's the most amazing and strangest thing I've ever seen in my life. She caught several of them on camera last night. She and our other friend started looking early this morning online to see if there were other sightings and they only found one mention... oddly enough, it was happening at the same exact time they made their first sighting. The videos are posted on YouTube from a family in Washington state. You can clearly hear how shocked they were to be seeing what they were seeing. I think they were taking their video from a cell phone and couldn't zoom in nearly as close as we could, so you could see the same type of circular bright light, some of the faint colors, and see it moving, but you couldn't see that weird emanating force-field thing that we experienced. But, other than that, it looked like the same type of thing we were witnessing. This couple (and their child) were seeing the same thing at the same time in Washington that we were experiencing right here in New Jersey. I swear to you this is a not a joke and we have something really incredible on video tape. We need to figure out a way to get it to you... and we also wanted to ask if you knew of any reputable places that could analyze it. We hesitate to send it to NASA after our research today - especially since apparently last night, they cut their live satellite feed when six unidentified objects flew past it. So, why would they cut the feed? This is all just too strange. And, like I said, I know it sounds crazy. But, I know I'm not crazy. I know what I'm seeing on my own camera and I know what my best friend is telling me that she saw with her own eyes and I believe her. Our friend who was over works for the Department of Agriculture for the State of NJ and he couldn't believe his eyes either. He had never seen anything like it in his entire life and said that he's going to be researching it today with whoever will listen to him and talk to him about it. All I know is that we saw something.... something that definitely is NOT from this Earth, I can guarantee you that.

I am a 58 yr old man, my 16 yr old daughter and 17yr old boyfriend was there, a 20 yr old family friend and my 9yr old and 3 yr old great nephews were there. While in the backyard feeding the fish in the pond I noticed what looked like a pulsating star at first until I noticed it changing size drastically and instantly while also observing slow movement, so I went in the house and got my binoculars and iPhone I sat down on a a five brick high planter box and started filming where I held the phone with both hands and arms extended out slightly above my head and started filming kept my arms stiff for the whole four minutes of the video I was not moving in and out with my arms and tried to tape with a rosebush partly in the picture so you could determine a stationary object in the filming . This orb moved around but basically was in the same area the whole time but changed sizes shapes constantly and had a Saturn like ring around it and when it got big you c! ould see the nucleus of the thing was in meeting energy constantly moving like it was morphing into something almost looks like an entity instead of a craft, when I looked at this object through the binoculars I was astounded at what I saw things moving constantly brilliant colors almost looked like flames in there orbs multiplying within the orb, and amazing array of colors and move me constantly going, I was extremely moved and it was actually scary looking in there and will never Forget the images I saw in those binoculars. Sirius, or some other "twinkling" star?? PD

Mokuliea, HI
Very bright light lower than stars and higher than mountains. It was over ocean and disappeared towards Kauai. It wasn't fast. It seemed to have a green line and a red line that formed a shape of a triangle over a bright white circle. It had a very bright blue/white straight tail with a small glow light toawards the end. It seemed to slightly change color and shape but not much. It kind of made me feel that my eyes were playing tricks but, they were not. I looked away a few times, closed my eyes a few times... Same thing every time. I took pictures and it looked like nothing but a light. I took a video and zoomed in and out. The video just looked like it was a moon.

This was completely by accident. I was getting up to get some honey for my sore throat. I noticed that the moon was very bright, however very few stars actually visible in the night sky. We are accustomed to seeing planes come in from the direction I was looking. What caught my eye was that it did not appear to be moving and rather than the traditional, well timed flash of lights on the wing of a plane, these were multi coloured and extremely bright lights. And rather than the lights appearing to be on the object, the lights seemed to be the object and around the object all at the same time. The other anomaly was that it was not moving. I lined it up with a street light on the other side of the city and stood stationary and it never moved. The tree line was also visible in the dark and it was not going up or down either. We keep binoculars in the kitchen window for bird watching so I steadied my arms by resting them on the counter and looked through. Plane shapes are easily seen this way. This was not holding a specific shape and seemed to change randomly in a fluid manner. I woke up my house mate and the first suggestion was that it may be Sirius which most certainly can have bright flashing colours. Although we have never seen Sirius that low in the sky. The other thing that was strange was that it looked considerably bigger than a star in the sky. Taking into consideration there were only two other stars visible in the clear view of the sky from the kitchen window, it was strange enough to keep watching. After approximately another five minutes of watching it, the object slowly moved away in the direction of South West fairly fast until it appeared to be lowering in the sky to the tree line. It was definitely moving away rather than dropping because it was getting smaller and harder to see. Taking the distance from the object, night time hours, treeline and buildings into consideration, I would estimate the overall size (although fluidly changing) to be that of five to six city buses, end to end, wide. And perhaps four city buses, end to end, high. We both had the sensation of feeling unnerved. I can only describe it as feeling like we were seeing something that was not right. Even when we trying to rationalize that it was a star or something else. It was a little upsetting and exciting at the same time. Just a knowing that something was, off? Hard to put my finger on it. I do not need to be contacted by anyone, however if anyone has questions I am happy to answer them.

Ok. So, I'm not 100% sure what I saw. I am a pretty scientificly literate person. I am going to explain what I saw in the best detail I can. Mid-February sometime, I'm driving along the 101 highway near the Vermont exit in LA. It's raining sort of heavy and all of the cars are going about 10-25mph. I see an object floating in the distance. It gets my attention because it's not moving at all, it's completely frozen/locked in position. Mind you it was pretty windy and raining (rare in LA). I squint to see what it is but can't make out any details. At first I thought it was a balloon but a balloon would've been moving with the weather. As I drove closer I pass under a bridge and it comes in to view about 50 feet over the next bridge. As I drive closer I see this object. The best way to describe it would be 3-5 balls in a vertical row connected to a central line that was not visible (imagine 2 balls on the left of the line,3 on the right). The balls were literall! y merging and crisscrossing into each other repeatedly. They were all metallic looking and I remember seeing red, a darkish blue and dark silver colors. The rate at which these balls were merging was completely against the environment and unlike anything I've ever seen. The merging was slow and rhythmic. Kind of like a 1, 2, 3, 4 of a waltz but half time. I looked to see a line, maybe something it was connected to and saw nothing. As I got closer those details got clearer to the point where I could actually see the balls enter into each other and coming out on the other side. I passed under the bridge it was floating over and never seen it again. Being a very sane person, and someone who deeply values science and the scientific method, I have been troubled by not being able to express exactly what it is I saw. I live in Los Angeles and drive on this highway all the time. I've never seen pictures or heard stories of anything like it. Thanks for having somewhere I can put it down it writing.

Right after the Super Bowl I looked out the window and saw a really bright light that was amorphous. I have definitely seen similar things in the sky before, but this one stood out to me. It seemed to be moving a lot more than the objects of a similar nature that I had seen before. It would move left, right, up, and down. Also, it seems to change shape, but I am unsure whether or not it has a definitive shape or if it could be inter-dimensional. It seems to shift from a ball of light to a triangular and/ or star-like shape and back. It is most certainly moving back and forth so I know it is not a satellite or a plane as those move continuously in one direction. We used a scope to magnify it and another object my father saw moving near the moon. The initial object was very bright and noticeable and was very clearly moving in multiple directions, but it never shot off or disappeared. When magnified the second object would appear to have a worm like structure and then it would shift back into a ball of light. It was moving as well. Probably Venus. PD

Reddish-orange circular object seen hovering in sky over the San Tan Mountains. Object moved closer in the sky, and appeared to be a chevron shape with red lights. Hovered over head and made no sound at all. I took a photo of the original red object and strange gray shape is seen to the right of the object as well. As object came closer and lower in the sky, a second red light appeared in the sky directly behind and to the right of original object. Original red object was hovering directly over my aunt and I...we were on horseback so it was difficult to keep looking without straining my neck. I was treating her to a birthday sunset ride and she said that my uncle would be watching the sunset and surely taking photos so we stopped watching and rode off. My family back at the barn noticed nothing but we're facing a different area of the sky. My aunt is a retired ((deleted)) manager now living in North Carolina. I am a licensed ((deleted)) in Gilbert, Arizona. I ride horses in this area often. On October 25, 2016, at 18:35 I saw a line of moving lights in this exact area of the sky.

Object came in low from foothill area to the north. It looked like a trash bag that had caught up in the wind. It seemed to float fast and was going east. Then it lost the white sort of glow and it seemed to dimly glow reddish. At this point but had changed shape into 3 spheres, ovals really, and they rotated horizontally around each other. It gained altitude quickly and got small very, very fast. It was headed east, but up. I couldn't track it because it got so far away it disappeared. Its approach was definitely slower than it moved away. Other details: no wind. Sky was overcast a bit, moon is blurred. But whatever this was, was low enough for me to see quite well. It seemed to go above a pretty busy section, so I wouldn't be surprised if more people saw it. It was low and though size was hard to gauge, it looked decently big. Before I submit this, I'd like to say the color initially seemed whiteish but transparent when it looked like a trash bag. It didn't move like one though. And when it turned into spheres, it happened almost instantly. I'm unsure about the color as the red glow I saw could have been a reflection of ambient light.

I live near an airport and I see objects chasing and circling aircraft as they approach. Shape hard to tell, could be round or oblong. They have very dim lights, but are visible against the night sky. I see so many, it's like an invasion. Thankfully, no harm DONE.

Round bright light would seem to be still like a star then disappear and reappear after some time. Would also change color looked like it was spinning with blue white colors and change shape and swiftly and rapidly move in no apparent direction. Sometime it would appear higher in the sky and then descend so you can see it bigger then smaller in the sky. It has been hanging over the same area for about one month now.

Something in the sky in the west, not moving, very very bright, we looked at it with just our naked eyes and it was amazing, My husband went and got us both binoculars. I couldn't believe what I could see. It was an elliptical "football" shape with an array of lights over the entire shape in a vertical stance then moved like it rolled over on its side and all the light was along one edge. FREAKY it's the alien invasion we have all been warned about or Jesus is coming from the west, one of the two.

I have never filed a report of this nature before, but I can't ignore what I saw so here goes: I live directly on the coast, so in anticipation of last night's full moon, I settled myself on an outdoor bench that faces due east and overlooks the Atlantic ocean. The night sky was crystal clear and even with the full moon, the stars were bright as ever. Roughly 30 minutes into my moon watch, I noticed something "gliding" north to south fairly low overhead. The light configuration was odd in that there two steady white lights spaced slightly apart with a third whitish-green light between them that seemed to pulse slightly somehow, as opposed to a blinking light on a standard aircraft. In fact, there were no blinking lights anywhere on this object that I could see. And it made no sound whatsoever. As I was watching this object move further south, two larger (or lower) orange round objects moving in tandem, each with what looked like yellow and orange light striations coming up from them at an angle, also slid by overhead moving north to south and completely silent. The first object turned slightly south eastward and began to head slowly out over the ocean. At this point, I was still trying to believe that this was an aircraft of some sort, but the object stopped suddenly out over the water and became fixed in the sky where it also appeared to progressively become brighter and brighter until I noticed what looked like colors mixing in with the original bright white light. I just kept staring at this thing, trying to come up with a "logical" explanation for what it could be. After 10 minutes or so, I took a chance and ran up to my house to grab my binoculars; I was afraid that the object would disappear if I took my eyes off of it. But when I got back down to my bench, it was still there and I was able to see it clearly and with great detail through the binoculars. I still can't find the right words to describe the colors I saw on/in/around the object. They possessed a brilliance and clarity and purity like I've never seen. They were not flashing, but rather pulsating and shifting somehow. Red, green, blue, white, violet... There were no shafts or beams striking out from the object. The colors were cohesive and unified, forming a fixed sphere. The colors shifted and morphed across the object but I never saw them stay still. Brilliant white light lines appeared interspersed the individual colors somehow, almost like borders but not really because it all pulsed at such a high rate that these white lines were never stationary. At one point, the ! sphere seemed to elongate into a cylinder and then it returned to a sphere. I called my husband, who was out of town, to describe to him in real time what I was looking at. I also called my son, who lives a block away and asked him to come over to see what he thought about the odd thing. We both watched it though binoculars for nearly an hour. Eventually, the cold air off the water and the night moisture forced us indoors, but I went back out later to see if the object was still there... It was gone. Neither of us have any idea what it was nor have we ever seen anything like it before. Suffice it to say, it was spectacular.

I was asleep in bed with my girlfriend, having a random simple normal dream about a supermarket, when the dream abruptly switched to an empty white room where men in blue hoods were rushing toward me, I awoke with a gasp for air and a balled fist. I then noticed a low rumble sound coming from outside. I opened the window to see a large black and purple amoeba-like object in the sky. It looked as if it were made of gel or some type of thick liquid. It stayed for about five minutes before completely fading away and the sound shortly followed. It didn't fly away, it's like it simply became invisible. Tried to take a picture but my battery died as soon as I opened my phone. I feel like I should also note that our cat was running around the room which is not normal for him at all. I am a 25 year old male, and I've never seen anything like this before. It has been over two and a half years since my last experiment with psychedelic drugs.

I was at home going upstairs to bed around 9:10 pm. I looked out the window at the top of the stairs and saw a bright white light pulsating. I went to my room to get my binoculars. I saw a round disk shape that I was thinking looked like a holographic form because of all the tiny white lights and connecting lines of white. It was hovering over and began changing colors, red, green, white. I yelled for my daughter downstairs. She also viewed the object. We then went outside in the front yard. I looked through the binoculars while she was trying to take pictures and record off my phone. The object was higher than a plane ( one of our videos has a plane flying underneath the obiect) and was higher than a cloud , but not as high as a star or the moon. We took turns looking. I observed it changing shapes from circle to triangle. It was moving up and down and would also go from side to side. I would see it spilt and was describing as pie shapes, it would split ! and then pull back together as a solid circle shape. We watched for about 45 mins and decided to go inside. I continued watching upstairs out the window where I originally saw it. It continued doing the same actions but the shapes were changing into like a fish shape and what seemed like a cylinder shape. The only thing I could see was lights connected by a white line, these are the shapes I am describing. I continued to watch from there until about 10:20 pm. The object then zipped further away in the distance toward the south and out of my view. I have a big window facing South and was able to view the object from there. It was further away in the distance. I continued to watch the same patterns, but I was able to see a separate white light moving around the bigger circle, this light had even tinier white lights falling down from the sky. I continued to watch till 12am when it was even further in distance and harder to see with the binoculars. Daughter Cassie’s detailed description: It was about 9pm on 1/8/2017 I was downstairs watching Tv. My mom went upstairs for bed. About 5 min later she’s yelling my name telling me to come upstairs. She said she saw a ufo outside! So I took a look in the binoculars and got focused on what she was looking at! Once I did I saw a holographic diamond shape in the sky! I looked around at all the other bright lights I saw in the sky of course because I was really wasn't believing what I was seeing! Nothing else up there looked like this so We went outside to get a better look! I watched and watched this thing for a good hr.! it was just hovering over one area until it disappeared and went to a new spot about 2 hrs later. While looking at this threw the binoculars I could see it rapidly changing colors. I’m not sure how else to describe it other than the colors just blended together & you could see all of them at one time. It also kept changing shapes. I’m not sure if it was turning and I was just seeing a different side of it or if it was actually changing the shape of its self. I did see something open up from the bottom and a bright ray of purple light came out of the bottom of it! It did not last long though I would say it was there for what felt about a minute then the purple slowly disappeared. When looking at this threw the binoculars I did get a little freaked out & thought something was watching me so I felt I needed to stop looking. When looking at this with your naked eye it was just a really bright ! light. While recording it on the phone with no flash on it was a bright light that quickly moved from one spot to another without any explanation. I have never seen anything like this before! it was absolutely amazing to see! At one point an airplane flew by and this object was above the plane level but below the stars! I later looked up imagines of a satellite & this object looked nothing like any satellite!
