I saw about 10 lights flighing close together across the sky. I was facing East and they were traveling North. About three of the lights were flying pretty close together almost like a diagonal line and the others were flying together as well, but it almost looked like they were forming a triangular shape. I took videos and a picture. I live not too far from an airport and I also saw and heard air planes flying around that time but these didn’t look or sound like planes. In the video I took you can see the lights flying across and a plane passing so you can tell the difference. It appears no one else has reported the sighting. I have emailed my video to ABC news and posted it on their Facebook, but didn’t seem like a big deal.

Glendale, AZ
Witnessed seven large circular lights moving eastward very slowly over the sky at Utopia & 68th Ave in Glendale, AZ, approximately 9:20 PM (AZ time zone) on the night of Saturday, November 4th, 2017. We the lights them for approximately a 45-second duration before they disappeared. Could easily tell they were not airplanes- there was no noise and they did not look like airplanes that flew by in same spot after they disappeared. We live under a flight path, so definitely would know if lights were from airplanes. These were not airplanes! They seemed to make somewhat of a V formation. We took two photos and one short video that caught they tail end of the sighting. Only 3 to 4 lights appear in the photos but visible to our eyes there were approximately seven. The light pattern moved slowly, silently, and lights were all in unison with each other as if belonging to one large flying or several that were somehow traveling in a geometric formation at the same speed and altitude. The formation appeared similar to a V, but was not a perfect V showing all the points.

White Lake, MI
Drove closer using Google maps and could not find source. Found multiple groups of people watching the "show".. two groups said this is 3rd such occurrence in 2 weeks. No explanation. Believe to originate above Indian Springs Park in White Lake. Lights eventually stopped moving and maintained a solid formation at 7:58PM exactly and then began to descent/land and by 8PM the event was over.

Took my eyes off the sky and walk to get my son from a music lesson, but in just 3 or 4 steps, I stop and want to take a look at this group of bright stars again with some puzzles and scan through the sky for some reference to other stars but the moon is too bright to see other stars. Now my eyes are back with all these bright stars and studied them a little bit with fascination even with some thin clouds passed by I can still saw through it, they are that bright. Now with the cloud’s motion, I felt like I wanted to look at the moon to my left to see which way the clouds were moving. It looked like the clouds moved West-East direction. Now I was back at these stars, I started to realize they were slightly moving south-east (farer away from me). Now I heard my son and his teacher at the front door to my left, so I walked there and had a few quick conversations with the teacher and got back to my son and pulled him out to see those stars, but by now they are even further south and just above the electric light pole. I tried to relocate our position, but it was too late and they were gone. I felt bad because my son missed it, and I really want him to see it. I did try to send a drawing picture with this report, too. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite seriou-minded. We suspect that he is a very good witness. PD

I was standing in my front yard with my bro. Talking about life then I gazed at the sky. There it was 3 red lights in a formation line blanking in a sequence. I said, "bro look in the sky. He was amazed then I tried to record it our camera couldn't pick it up. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Hartman, AR
4 flashing white lights, 1 second interval, 1 degree apart in straight line formation, tight and precise, 4 degrees above horizon, first spotted in NE near Clarksville headed southerly direction at a leisurely speed normal for cruising helicopters. They changed direction when due east then headed west towards me while getting brighter, with no apparent change in relative positions to each other, and most notably, absolutely no sound whatsoever which would be strange but not unlikely if these were top secret stealth helicopters or something else cutting edge. Quickly ran inside to grab 22 rifle with variable 4 to 9X scope for closer view of objects when passing over me. When back outside, they had all headed to new direction towards SW over Arkansas River into Logan County towards Subiaco. I climbed to the top of my RV to view in rifle´s scope while due south of me. Each white flashing light had dimmer steady white light just to left of them visible at 9X power after quickly focusing on Sirius for best resolution possible. The sky was clear with no moonlight for seeing any kind of outline of these totally silent objects. Four normal aircraft of any type would of been overwhelmingly audible at such altitude and proximity. Hopefully description of nav light configuration will help identity make and model. No other nav lights of different colors observed. Objects eclipsed by trees at SSW. Clock said 8:18 PM. Beginning of sighting rough estimate but definitely after 8 PM. Duration near to 20 minutes. This is not first time stealth craft seen by me or orange orbs,too, in this area. Ever since I made it a nightly ritual, weather permitting, to go out after sunset and watch the sky closely, plus I´m a very experienced amateur astronomer with four fairly decent scopes and a computerized GOTO GEM mount. I have submitted previous reports from nearby Coal Hill circa Feb. 2005. However, I am well aware I have a most unfortunate surname for filing UFO reports or any kind of reports for that matter, come to think of it. But I will keep vigilant nonetheless. Thanks for reading and your website.

My wife, daughter, and I were staring at the stars, and witnessed a series of red lights fly quickly across the sky from the NNE to the SSW. No noise preceded the lights or followed them. We are not necessarily believers in extraterrestrial visitors, but we also don't rule it out. The series of lights was shaped in a perfect V form, and there were approx. 9 lights. The lights travelled extremely fast. Faster than a F-18 that we saw recently, yet made no noise. Another series of lights followed in a similar direction about 15 seconds later, but were a lot dimmer, and seemed to be in a straight line instead of a Variety formation, but they were too dim to tell specifics. Also red lights. The whole experience lasted approx. 30 seconds to a minute. Very strange.

I have been witnessing low flying craft for the past couple of months. 2 sometimes 3 crafts that are formation in nature. Flashing blue red and yellow lights balls that are either separate at first and then they gather together after a short amount of time. A good description would be a number of different colored balloons that you hold. The craft flies around at about the treeline level totally silent then quickly ascends up when departing. The craft normally approach from the NW and departs from the same way on which they came. I live on a hill so I have a good vantage point on the valley.

Driving north on turnpike, notice multiple bright white lights in the sky, east of the turnpike, fairly low. With cell towers and planes in sight as well, I noticed something odd. There were about 3-4 steady, bright white lights and they seemed to be moving around each other in some formation. There were no other indicator lights and they also seemed to be hovering steadily in the same vicinity around each other. I watched this through the tree line for close to 10 minutes, maybe less. Stopped at a rest stop and once we started again, they were gone. Possibly advertising lights?? PD

Califon, NJ
Upon walking out in the evening to bring out the garbage, we heard a helicopter off to the south east. Looking up the valley from our home, towards Long Valley, we noticed a strange collection of lights on a craft that was hovering over the valley. A commercial airline was in the flight path above us to the west, heading towards Newark Airport. The lights on the hovering craft were unlike any lights we notice on the aircraft in the flight patterns around our home. My son turns to me and says, "Do yo use that?" and I am staring sayings "Yes, what is that?" as we studied it trying to figure out exactly what we were seeing it disappeared, almost like it was vacuumed up into thin air. We paused and completely dumbfounded, as it was unlike anything we had ever witnessed before. We waiting a few minutes and nothing, it was completely gone from the sky that our eyes could see.

Driving east, CR 42, I saw 3 dots moving at high speed, flying very high. I knew it wasn't a few airplanes because they didn't blink red or green. One of them even went very fast straight towards us, and pulled up to join the others. This has happened about 3 or 4 times now. The 3 dots were completely lit up, and of varying sizes. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

I was crossing California street, heading north on Octavia in San Francisco the night of September 21, 2017. I noticed the crescent moon in the western sky and quickly snapped a walking picture as I crossed the street. I didn't notice anything in the sky at the time I snapped the picture, nor immediately afterwards. Once I finished crossing the street, I noticed this strange object in the sky of my photo, but again, nothing was in the sky. I somehow captured this thing by chance on my phone's camera. Location is California and Octavia Sts in San Francisco, facing west. Time is 20:02pm. We suspect a lens flare. PD

Then, my eyes were drawn to the source of the light streaming through the slats of the wooden shudders that were closed almost completely but leaving a ½ inch gap at the top. I jumped out of bed and ran around the bed to get to the window, opened the top shudder and saw a roundish shaped, rotating flying object emitting an extremely bright, white strobe-like light. It was blinking. The object was rotating in a counterclockwise fashion and was traveling West to East. I was looking up through a 2nd story window at the back of the house, and it appeared to be so close, just at or above the tree line. I quickly ran to turn off the house alarm and ran outside to see if I could see it, but it was gone. When I saw it through the window, it was above a clearing in the center of the backyard. To the sides and towards the back end of the yard there are tall, skinny trees. When I came back into the house, I looked at the kitchen clock to note the time, and it was 2:36 am. I don’t know how I will ever be able to go back to sleep now. I wish I didn’t have a fan on next to me so I could have heard any sounds if there were any. I got online and researched to see if anyone else living in the vicinity had seen it as well, and found this site. I decided to report it because I know what I saw, and there is no other logical explanation for this. I can still see the object in my mind’s eye and it amazes me, but it frightens me at the same time. I was skeptical before but after witnessing this, I am a believer now.

Pittsburgh, PA
I was driving East on Penn Ave.. As I approached Club One at 6325 Penn Ave, Pittsburgh, PA, 15206, I noticed initially 2 red balls in the sky, as if a group of helicopters were approaching. Then I noticed 2 more. There appeared to be 1 leading and the other 3 following. But, they made no noise. I pulled over in the parking lot that adjoins the gym near the McDonald's. As I parked, I noticed them flying towards the townhomes across the street toward the Shadyside area. I took a few pictures. I was upset I couldn't get video because I just returned from vacation and didn't have enough space for video. Then a larger one appeared which was about 2.5x's there size. But I didn't think I captured it because of the lights from the McDonald's sign. I also captured the 4 smaller ones, and unbeknownst to me, in the 1 picture with the illuminated McDonald's sign, if you enlarge it, you can see the shape of the actual object and the red going from back to front in a wave like design. But behind it, a few days later I noticed a blue glow. When I enlarged the picture there appears to be a blue circular craft. And between the 1st one in that picture and blue craft their appears to be an irregular, rectangular shaped object that is not illuminated. So there were possibly 7 total objects. I have attached the 3 photos. Please magnify for detail. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) I am the 8/26 report from Pittsburgh- 5 orbs in a formation. .. time of event shld be bwtn 21:00-21:30 instead of 15:10 … ((END ADDENDUM))
