Pre-arranged siting with Beings of a red/orange glowing orb above the soccer field at local park. Was able to get a shaky video while walking toward orb. The orb darted around starting out small and continued to change shape, size an color. Varying from a basketball size glowing red/orange orb to a small pea size white dot. It disappeared almost as quickly as it appeared. I have been fortunate and seen numerous UFO's and have been visited many times. There were 2 other witnesses who were chasing the orb also. It was their first sighting and they were stunned as they discussed what is wasn't.

Stevens Pass, WA
After a day of skiing at Stevens Pass, I was staying the night at the ski resort with some friends in the RV lot so we could ski the following day. Around 7:00p.m we left our camper and walked to the main base area of the resort. Skiing operations closed at 4:00 that day and the mountain was dark, but the base area was illuminated, and we used this lighting to play a game of cornhole (beanbag toss game) right in the main courtyard area next to the lodge and clock tower. It was a very cold night with broken clouds and occasional snow showers. We were the only ones outside in the area. It was the night before a full moon and the moon looked amazing with the small broken clouds moving quickly past it. Having the place to ourselves with the resort lodges and clock tower decorated in Christmas lights and the full moon in the backdrop, I tried my best to get a picture with my phone that captured the whole scene. To do this I stepped about thirty feet away from my friends, took a knee and held my phone at an angle that got all three of my friends in the frame as well as the moon (this was tricky and you will see that in a couple shots either a friend or the moon gets cut off). Once I had the correct angle I waited for gaps in the clouds as they passed over the moon. After snapping a couple photos, I first noticed the object in the screen of my phone. The object first appeared as a blotch of white light in the screen of my phone. It seemed like a morphing light ball with a bright core surrounded by a duller light and was very fluid yet erratic in its movements. If I had to guess I would say the core was the size of a large grapefruit and the outer layer the size of a beach ball. It was like a luminescent aerial jellyfish. The object first appeared in the sky around the trees in the background and moved toward us. It came as close as the clock tower (the photo showing the object in front of the lodge verifies its proximity). At this point, I looked up from the camera, where the image was very bright, however with my bare eyes I could only see the outer dull light, but the inner bright sphere was still visible in the screen of my phone. Put another way: With my bare eyes, the object was not very noticeable and I might have not noticed it. At the same time it was glowing even brighter than what was captured by the camera on the screen of my phone. At one point most of my screen went white. I was really confused and rendered speechless. At this point I stood up and pivoted my whole focus to the object. As soon as I did the object shot off to the trees behind the lodge, paused near the top for one to two seconds and then shot off over Big Chief Mountain at impossible speed and was gone. As you can see in the pictures, my friends were oblivious of its presence and I wasn’t able to process what I was seeing in time to verbalize what I was seeing. By the time I did, it was gone. I still really have no idea what I saw and the photos just add to the mystery. Likely unrelated, we did see multiple F/A-18 or F15s (looked like they had 2 vertical stabilizers) jets flying at low altitude over the resort the following morning.

The object i saw kept raising above the treeline then shooting out of sight. The lights changed from red to blue to green to white. I actually got a fairly decent video that I posted on my facebook.

Edmonds, WA
I was outside letting my dog out before heading to bed like I do every night when I noticed this curved ufo gliding through the sky. While gazing at the stars I noticed what I thought at first was a satellite in my peripheral vision. It caught my attention, and I immediately looked towards it. I then realized this wasn't a satellite. It seemed to be lower in the sky then a satellite, as it was a lot brighter. It had six lights making a curved shaped and glided silently through the sky from the North West, heading South East. I watched the object for 5-7 seconds (felt like forever) before the six lights that made up the curve changed into one object and disappeared. It was not a plane, or like anything I have ever seen.

Fairfield, CA
Fairfield is the home to Travis Air Force Base. Around 7 pm on 11/29/2016, I saw a large airplane making a steep banked turn. A few minutes later I saw what I thought was a smaller plane doing the same, only less banked. What struck me as unusual was the steep angle of the banking and the low position to the ground. Approximately an hour later, I’m standing outside in Fairfield, CA, having a smoke when I saw what I thought was a boomerang-shaped flock of white birds flying east over Suisun Bay. As they moved east, over Fairfield, it looked more like a giant scarf floating on the wind. As I discounted the scarf theory, and wondered what it could be, it looked more like a giant dark bird flying in a V shape. Only the size was too big to be any bird. Some stars were visible and I could make out the ‘wing’ eclipse one of the stars. As it traveled east, it blended into the dark sky. There were no lights or sounds coming from that direction, and the breeze was minimal. I watched it glide by for over a minute. At times it reminded me of a 30-foot piece of fabric floating in the air. As it passed by (at a 40 degree angle from where I was standing), it was larger, darker, and more v-shaped … if it was closer I would have guessed it was a bird gliding by with wings in a ‘v’ shape. But it was LARGE, and quiet. There were no airplane noises or anything. It continued east until I couldn’t see it for the darkness of the sky. It did not appear to head towards Travis AFB to the south, but rather towards Vacaville to the east. Surely someone else saw it. What was it?

Plainfield, IL
Noticed bright white object slowly hovering Southward, in a partly cloudy but otherwise clear sky. After about 5 minutes of viewing, it rotated or transformed from a horizontal line shape to a vertical one. There was no noise or discernible lights. I have cellphone photos of the object, but they don't do the sighting any justice.

Vineland, NJ
I ran in to get a pair of low powered binoculars and noticed it grew into more tiny cigars. Then it faded before growing back. It changed to look like the rainbow halo cast from a crystal in the sun. Noticed a small green orb hovering between the 11 o'clock position to the 6 o'clock positions within the rainbow halo. It faded again where it stayed until it disappeared.

Mother ship released 4 small lights. Then they disappeared. The color of the was like red orange. Well this is happening four helicopters fly over us like if there were distracting us from the ufos. We attempted to telephone the source of the report, but were unsuccessful in reaching him. Possible hoax?? PD

Went out to see the full moon and over my rooftop towards the North was a greenish blue object darting all over the sky. It was met with 4 others, they lined up in a straight formation and then they were gone. There was no noise associated with it. It changed shape from a circle to a "c" shape.

Mequon, WI
On November 6th at about 2pm central time, my wife and I were loading some items into a trailer in preparation for a move. She sat down to take a short break and scanned the sky. Watching the sky when we are outside is and has been a habit we've adopted over the last 2-3 years. A minute or two into her break she noticed an object in the northeastern sky and pointed it out to me. It was difficult to locate but I was able to do so by using environmental reference points such as trees and the house. What I saw appeared to me at first like a bright star as it was a stationary object but considering the time of day and the fact it was sunny and 65 degrees made this an unlikely explanation. I cannot stress enough how difficult it was to see this thing. Unless you had your eyes directly trained on it, it vanished from sight even though it seemed to be metallic and reflecting sunlight. If my wife wouldn't have spotted it there's no way I would have seen it. At this moment, I ran inside to get my son to see it for himself, which he did but only after directing him where to look exactly. We sat there staring at it when my wife pointed out two other objects approaching from the southeast. One looked like the object to the north but moving slow and the other had a reddish color but seemed to bend and twist as it moved towards our direction. It changed course a few times going left or right and moved at about half the speed of a mid to high altitude airliner appears to move. These objects also seemed to "disappear" when not focused directly on them so when I looked away it took effort to find them once again. At this point I ran into the house to get my camcorder which is a Panasonic HC-W570. I knew that I had 35-40 minutes of battery left but when I got outside and started to try and find the objects again, the battery indicator dropped all the down and I didn't even get a chance to record a single frame before it just died. Disappointed, my family and I continued to watch. The two moving o! bjects h ad fully vanished or faded but the original one still remained. That's when I had the idea to grab the power supply for the camcorder and plug it in to an exterior outlet at the front door. It took me a few minutes to get close to zooming in on the UFO as the camera doesn't have a physical viewfinder, only the lcd screen. Zooming into 90x also makes any handheld camerawork very unstable. Eventually, using the trees in the front of the house as a reference for locating the object in the sky, I got lucky for just a couple seconds to be able to get it in focus. Almost as if it was playing hard to get, it would move just close enough to the tree in my line of sight for the camera to lose focus and shift to focusing on the branches. So each time I would have to readjust my position by a few inches and start over again trying to find it in the sky. After all this, the UFO faded into the color of the sky and ended our 20 minutes of excitement and bewilderment.

New York City, NY
My partner and I were on holiday in New York city in October 2016. On the 19th of October at around 4.08 pm, we were at the 9/11 memorial taking photos of the new tower. A couple of weeks earlier, whilst watching the pictures that I took on my phone during my holiday, I noticed an odd shaped blue object sitting next to the One World Trade Center tower. I first thought that it was just an optical effect due to the reflection of the sunlight on my camera lens. Then I remembered that my girlfriend was also taking photos with her phone of the same tower at the same time. I took her phone and looked closely at her pictures and unsurprisingly, the same object is on 2 other photos taken with her phone. However, it seems having a slightly different shape on the pictures that she took compared to mine. I'm not sure how long this object was sitting there for as we did not see it on the spot but it is likely to have appeared/disappeared very quickly. We have several pi! ctures of the same tower but the object only appears on 3 of them. So we estimate that it was present for a very short time (no more than a few seconds).

La Habra, CA
Looking out into the foothills from our street and noticed a bright blue light moving around we watched this blue light that would grow small and then get larger, hover over houses, streets, go up in the air and come back down and then see it go behind the hills, disappear and come back again for about 2 hours. Captured 2 clear videos.

Butte, MT
Through a high placed, 360 weather cam, we noticed something floating in the sky. It looked like it was over, or in the area of the local airport. The UFO was also flying pretty low, so it was definitely not a star or planet. It was at a distance where it was clearly visible. I am uncertain of how big it might have been, but it was probably about the width of a plane. Although the UFO was spherical, it was constantly changing shape and color. It went from a atomic rubber bouncing ball shape, to a planet with a ring shape, to a diamond shape, etc; all while emitting different colors. It floated still and without movement, then it would disappear for a couple seconds, only to reappear in a different spot close to where it was before. The UFO did this disappearing and reappearing a couple of times, staying in one spot for minutes at a time. Then the UFO dipped and zoomed vertically up to the sky at a phenomenal speed. There was only a faint light trail, nothing! significant. I thought that this might have been a drone, until I saw how fast this object flew into space.

University Place, WA
I was stopped Eastbound at the stop light at Cirques/56th St West. I was the second car in the right hand lane coming from Cirque/56th St W. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed a silver ball flying from the NE direction to my left across the street above the AM/PM and continuing SE on above the Nursing Home and the apartments on the opposite corner that I was stopped at. At first, I thought it was a huge silver balloon but it flew in a straight path against a breeze we had blowing at the time. The flags at the Texaco station were flying/blowing to the North and the object was moving at a steady pace in a South East direction. It is also noted that this cool, crisp clear morning at approximately 10:10 am. The object was silver in color and changed from a circle to an oval shape. It was a solid object and you could see the outline of the object, but at the same time you could see the object change shape. There were lights that were grayish/white that blinked around the center half of the craft. When I held my finger up to the sky while sitting at the stop light my index finger did not cover the whole object. While I was watched it flying the lights appeared to be blinking at random with no discerning pattern. When my light changed I made a right from Cirque/56th St W. onto South Orchard St. I followed the object for about 2 miles and I lost sight of it due to traffic. I have included a picture from Google Earth showing the intersection I was at.

Marietta, OH
I was in a local parking lot talking in the phone with a friend. It's a parking lot with several businesses in it, restaurants and stores. I was facing east. Around 8:45 p.m. I started to see about 30- 40 lights shoot up into the sky. There was roof tops in my way but it appeared to be shooting up from ground maybe 500 feet away from me. They were orange/yellow color. After shooting up and the lights moving down the sky, forming a chevron like pattern, I was able to snap 2 different photos from my cell. I then decided to drive towards where this was happening, because I wanted to get a closer look, and also was trying to figure out what it was that I was seeing. So as I was driving towards it, the lights went into triangle shapes, and then I saw a HUGE V. The V was stationary. By that time I had pulled into another parking lot and had a great view, got out of my car and went to take a photo, the lights from the V then shut off, only 1 remained. I snapped a photo of that. The one light remained for about 5-10 minutes before phasing out. I could clearly see what looked like a mothership above the V lights. The other lights I saw that took formation, different formations, seem to be like smaller craft going to the bigger craft. The thing is, no one else seem to see it that night or at least I've not heard any reports. I kept checking social media, I asked a few people if they saw anything in the sky that night, no one else seems to of seen it. I reached out to four different ex military men, some are family, a couple friends. I showed them the photos, and they have all said they have never seen anything like it and that when you zoom in the photos I have, it is pretty crazy and creepy. You can clearly see several smaller aircraft. I can say it's left me a little unsettled, as I KNOW what I saw, but still can't believe what I saw! Resolved. Caused by launching of sky lanterns at a wedding ceremony. PD
