Olympia, WA
Looking northeast right after twilight, I observed a glowing jagged plasma ball streaking towards earth at a 45 degree angle. It was bluish white, green, and had an outline of orange and appeared to be glowing plasma. It materialized instantly as if growing from a small point to a large object in a nano second. I thought it was a meteor and braced for impact about two miles north of my location, when suddenly four white orbs shot out and it made a sudden turn to the north and shot into the forward horizon incredibly fast and disappearing from view. In that moment it looked like an actual spaceship as it turned and shot off, and resembled a rectangle with four glowing engines. The electric glow was very pretty and absolutely beautiful. I know this was April first, but for what its worth, I really saw this and it was awesome to see. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and we found him to be quite serious-minded. PD

Phoenix, AZ
It was 10:59 pm on 03/30/2016. I was sitting out back having a smoke. And just to the North of where we stay. Is another apartment building which you see in the photos i sent. Now what captured my attention was the light captured was flashing which I could see very clearly with my eyes. And it had a orange color to it which made it stand out even more. When I retrieved my camera and picked up the light. Clearly like I had mentioned before the light was indeed flashing on my photo screen which made it much more clearer to notice. Now in the photos there are 2 lights you will see in the center of the screen. The lower one being almost center with the other light just above it and to the right a bit. The lower light you see is actually some piece of the roof top that is to the north of us which you see in the photo as well. So the light that is above the one I just mentioned is the one that has me stuck on stupid. The photos were taken one after another. And somehow the light or object in question when you zoom closer to it. Seems to change shape or form from one photo to the next. And not only that in every photo in the middle of whatever it is. Is a very bright energy source or light that is really strange.

North Haven, CT
A little before 10pm, in North Haven, CT, my children and I were driving home when we spotted three very bright images, resembling stars, in the shape of a triangle. We could tell they weren't stars because they were so much lower and brighter than anything we've ever seen. We drove approximately 2-3 miles before stopping to observe. There were numerous helicopters in the sky. The helicopters were not using much light, if any at all, so they were difficult to detect, but there were approximately 20 of them. We videotaped the entire time but mainly focused on these three bright lights and these helicopters because we weren't sure what was happening. Just before the three bright lights disappeared, my son thought he saw a lightning because he said everything turned white for a split second. I did not notice this, however, in the video just as my son was saying that he thought he saw lightning, our video camera went white and our sound got knocked out. At this point you can tell we are still videotaping the sky because the stream of tape shows that it's black, but yet when you watch the video, it's pure white with no sound. Once we arrived home, still unsure about what was going on, we quickly watched the videos. We noticed in the videos that there were many objects that we had not seen before. It seems like every time we watch the videos we would see more incredible things. At this point, we realized that we were surrounded by UFOs. In the videos and I don't like can you see numerous floating objects, you can also see what appears to be the bottom of a very large ship hovering just above us. This was the most incredible thing I have ever witnessed and I am happy to share videos and pictures. I will attach a link to a video here. In the first few seconds if you look to the right near the telephone pole you will see two blue lights. Next if you look at the highest street light on the screen, you will notice that there objects moving around the light. Additionally if you look into the black sky right above that same light, you can see what resembles a metallic (almost octagon shape) moving fairly slowly. I believe this is the bottom of the ship. Here is the link to that particular video I have many many more if you'd like to see please let me know. Here is a link to a video: http://youtube/zM2g4it0zdI ((ADDENDUM FROM VISITOR TO THE NUFORC SITE Hi Peter, Regarding the following report - There are two videos on youtube for this event.

Colorado Springs, CO
Saturday, March 19th, 2016, and a pre-dawn sky. After backing up my van, facing east, I sat back awaiting the sunrise. The time is 0630am. In front of me, the skies were alight with hues of orange, pink, and purple colors. A white color was also present, which I thought to be a cloud that had not colored yet. My glance continued northward, to see the glorious display of the morning colors manifesting themselves. Again my eyes returned to the sky in front of me and the “white” light had not moved or changed color. It resembled the top half of a hamburger bun. I said to myself “I’m going to watch you to see what happens”, when no sooner said, the” white” light started to COMPRESS itself, to flatten out to look like a thin, straight “light-line”. I couldn’t believe my eyes as I was engrossed and marveled at this happening!!!!!!! Now it started to move northward very slowly and from underneath, simultaneously appeared two(2) orbs, from white to glowing orange (2 mini suns came to mind), back to white and faded again simultaneously, all the while the “light-line” object travelled northward. It stopped and hovered for about a minute before starting to move back across the same flight path, southerly, passing it’s original point of sight, then stopping and hovering once again. The sun had just broken the day, when I averted my eyes to see momentarily, and when I looked back, it was gone. The location: Bear Creek Park, Co. Spgs., CO. 80905 Total time of sighting was 32 minutes. Guess estimate of distance to be 25-30 miles. Using my left index finger, a foot away from my face, the “light-line” measured a” knuckle” inch. The location is also home to Peterson AFB, Schriever AFB and Co. Springs airport

New York City (Brooklyn), NY
I was in my room, in front of my large window looking at men cutting down city trees. I looked up at the men, since they were at the very top, and saw something that caught my eye. At first, thinking that this was just an aluminum balloon. That object was sturdy, still, and in the clear sky. Light flashing out of the object, but this wasn't an ordinary light. It very bright, and soon, the light started to pulse. Following after that, it changed shape. Originally shaped like a triangle, and each light was on its coordinated areas. Followed up by a square, and lastly a circle. At this point, I called my daughter, because i feared that I was looking at a hallucination. Thankfully, I wasn't the only witness. She saw this object too, and we were freaking out at this point. Watching, talking, and staring at what possible movements this could have done. It then, started to move very slowly, stopped, gained speed and disappeared. My daughter even ran outside to check our backyard, to see if it might've been there. However, it just completely disappeared. We attempted to contact the source of this report via telephone, but were unsuccessful. We are undecided as to whether this was submitted as a serious-minded report. PD

Orange, MA
I went outside and actually was looking for anything moving in the sky. (Because I actively now seek this stuff out) I spent 20mins looking at all the stars and trying to find an odd one. In the south western sky high over the tree line I noticed there was 3 star looking objects in formation of a perfect triangle, and a very bright looking star next to the formation (so 4 all together) At first, I kept staring at this formation as I found it odd all the objects were stationary and I have never noticed this constellation of stars. I kept searching but could not find anything I thought. I went back inside then went back out to smoke again 20 mins later. I could not find the triangle formation that was previously there but did still see the big bright star. I stared at it and saw bright lights coming from it. Greens, bright blues, red, orange all the colors of the rainbow. It was moving very slowly but fast enough (in all directions up, down, and horizontally) and now I could see it was changing it kept making a red triangle and I'm not sure if it was just flashing this or if that was the shape. It also flashed a few other pictures/shapes one looked like a pine or Xmas tree) At some points I could see it looked like a classic ufo...round, seamless, and rotating horizontal lights, but as I stared harder at it, it was changing to a triangle then to a round object. At a few points it looked diamond shaped then maybe it could have been multiple ufos in formation it changed so often I could not tell. Sometimes the entire thing got very bright then it had and aura around it. The flashing different bright lights never fades though only when a regular plane flew by did it stay stationary and white. It had to be very far away because I had no readings on my magnetometer. And I know how crazy this might sound but I want to be honest I felt waves coming from this, only when it was in view and I was staring at it. It felt like my vision was like twilight zone everything went black and then bright in and out. At one point there was stripped lights down trees in my vision as my vision blacked in and out. There was no fear or pain or negativeness I really didn't feel much while in this trance state (it also felt voluntary but hypnotized)other than pure interest/curiousity and I tried to allow the waves to take over as far as they would go but once I blinked the waves stopped and started over again until I blinked or the object went out of veiw. The object eventually slowly fell out of veiw within a little over an hour (it fell behind the trees) & my boyfriend who thinks aliens are absurd started yelling at me, but I wanted to get in my car and follow it. Too bad I was unable to. Please note I did try to video tape this effect but I could not hold my phone long enough to get anything also every time I tried the object did not look the same as it did in person I believe this is due to my phone not having a good camera and I was shaking and could not hold it still.

Concord, NH
The wife and I walked out of Best Buy (located in the Target/Best Buy mini mall across from the Steeplegate Mall) and saw a giant orb with a pulsating halo around it. It was flying East between the Steeplegate Mall and Michael's Crafts. We filmed it for a good minute or so before it vanished. On the way home, while driving on RTE 28, we caught sight of the same object flying over Pittsfield, NH. The object was less round and much flatter, and we followed it into the center of Pittsfield. We parked in the Riteaid parking lot facing Jack's Pizza. The flat, saucer-like object flew silently in the sky. I was able to snap two photos of the object before it vanished. Thinking it was over, my wife and I got back into the car and back on to RTE 28 to head home. Right before Blueberry Station (where the billboard is by the Pittsfield intersection), we caught sight of three more orbs, and one was quite large, orange in color, and it moved very slowly like the others. I was able to capture the much larger orange orb on camera before my device ran out of storage. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. We are not able to contact the source of the report. We have amended the time above, to reflect an evening sighting, which we assume. PD

Novi, MI
At this point I noticed what appeared to be a cloud but it was completely round, and as the sky was totally cloudless this really caught my attention. While watching the “cloud” I then saw a point of white light at its center. This point of light then zigzagged rapidly at about 45 degree angles after which it darted to the right (north) and went into a free-form looping pattern. It then zigzagged again, and with the “cloud” not completely covering it there seemed to be a triangular shape that possibly the light was zipping around the edge of. The light and its companion “cloud” then continued moving south, zipping, zigzagging and looping while moving across the sky until it went into the horizon and out of site. There is an airport nearby but this object did not move in the direction of that airport. There was no sound and the weather was exceptionally good – cloudless sky, very little wind. Watching this object took my attention away from the jet so I don’t know where it went but it was not in the direction of the object(s)or the airport. I have never seen anything like this and with all the political stuff going right now– the debates, the primary vote, Flint’s water issue, the guy in Kalamazoo shooting people – it’s really freaked me out. Could it be a drone? But reports of those include sound and this was completely silent.

West Topsham, VT
We were all inside (2 adults, 3 kids) watching TV after dinner. My husband went outside to smoke a cigarette, and while he was outside there was a loud roaring noise that came from outside the house. It sounded like a huge snow plow pushing ice off the road, but the roads are clear. My husband banged on the window for me to come outside, saying there were strange lights in the sky. I went out onto the front porch, facing East, and saw at least 4 rapidly moving lights in the sky. Our children joined us outside as well. The lights were moving from West to East, and were orange. The lights were larger than the stars but smaller than the moon, and they moved very fast, crossing from the West horizon to the East horizon before turning around again in less than ten seconds. We live in a mountainous area, in a valley which makes our view somewhat restricted, but in the sky that we see the lights were crossing from one end to the other much faster than planes fly overhead, and there were no clouds blocking our view. It was incredibly cold and clear. When we first saw the lights, there were four and they were flying separate from each other. Two of the lights moved towards each other and at first seemed to merge and become one slightly larger light before separating again and then appearing to zigzag around each other like they were tracing a double helix. When the lights were separate, they appeared to blink, but when they came together they stayed solid. At one point, a third light joined the first two lights, and then all three formed a triangular formation and flew in that pattern for about 20 seconds. Again, while flying together, they stayed solid and did not blink. The lights then broke away from each other and made hairpin turns very quickly and moved back towards the West. As they moved West, they were again blinking and flying in zigzags around each other. There was a fourth light at this time, that appeared to follow the first three. This light looked like it was actually 4 smaller lights closely together in! a cube formation, and these appeared to be green. The small green cube followed more slowly behind the first three, and they all moved towards the Western horizon. The whole time these lights were moving, there was a loud roaring coming from the sky that was loud enough to shake the windows in the house, and the closer the lights got to the horizon the softer the roaring was until the lights and the noise stopped. We all went back inside, and about 10 minutes later, we heard the roaring start again, so we ran back out onto the porch looking back towards the west, which is towards the back of our house looking towards the treeline. The roaring continued for about a minute, then abruptly stopped for about 30 seconds, started again for about a minute then abruptly stopped again, repeating this pattern several times. While we heard the roaring, we could see lights moving over the horizon towards the West, but they were blocked by the trees so we couldn't see if they were in a formation or be sure of how many there were. This episode lasted for about 3 minutes before the roaring stopped abruptly one final time and did not begin again.

West Topsham, VT
I stepped onto the front porch for a cigarette, and I heard an extremely loud noise that was like a snow plow on the road, but it was clear and the roads were bare. I glanced towards the South, and I noticed that there was movement in the sky, at least 2 objects moving rapidly. I rapped on the window to get my wife's attention so she could see the lights in the sky. She came out, and we both began to question each other as to what they could be. The noise had faded at this point, but we could still see the lights in the sky. They seemed to be a reddish-orange and appeared to be solid. They were moving towards the East in a wavy pattern. We saw at that time there was a third trailing them. They reached a point in the East and appeared to make a quick turn, almost like a sling-shot, and formed a triangle while they were moving back towards the West. They then moved into a parallel line, then almost appeared to merge into one light, then separated again. Our kids had come out at this point, and we realized that we were losing visibility, as the lights were moving back to the West. We watched them continue to move back and forth from West to East and back, moving in different patterns, making the wavy pattern around each other, then forming a triangle, then a line, and then changing again. At this point, I noticed over the Western tree line there appeared to be a larger bluish light staying in a stationary position. At this point, I thought to myself that if it was a helicopter, why wasn't I hearing anything, and it seemed to be very high if it was truly a helicopter. After several minutes, the lights all disappeared over the Western horizon.

Indio, CA
My brother and I live in a gated community in Indio. Our mailbox center is at the entrance of the community and we decided to ride our bikes to get the mail around 19:00. We are both about 30 years old, very interested in other forms of life and UFO activity, although never seeing anything ourselves or looking for it. As we're riding, my brother stops me and tells me to look at the weird stars above. It was a line of stars about the length of 4 big dippers long, clustered close together. We both quickly realized that this was not a star formation and became overcome by the size. They soon started expanding and contracting to one another, not dramatically or quickly, but subtly. There were at least 70 lights above, each dimming and brightening. If they were more spread out, the average person would assume they were stars. We then watched this massive unity of lights move across the sky from the west. We could see a tip that was the front of what looked like t! he biggest object. To be clear, we couldn't see any object, but because lights were around it's perimeter, we could make out the shape of the front which was pointed. The best way to describe how it moved is almost like a caterpillar, certain parts moving away and toward each other (expanding and contracting) while the thing as a whole moved forward at the same speed. I was in complete awe. We watched a few planes come into view which moved much faster and were much closer than this thing, which was so far away, it had to be in space. All the lights slowly dimmed except three at the tail of the mass, which formed a perfect triangle. I was instantly frustrated because what I saw couldn't be explained but I was grateful my brother at least saw it, too. The duration here was approximately 8 minutes and the size was miles long. It's unimaginable and looked like it was a detached piece of the night sky with controlled hinges that moved. Not sure if we were viewing one giant obje! ct or multiple small objects linked together somehow.

Worcester, MA
On February 29th, 2016, at 5:28pm, from North East U.S.A, my wife and I were outside. My wife then saw something strange flying from a distance. I quickly grabbed my Samsung galaxy Note 3 and began recording. It was difficult to see at first until it got closer and we noticed it was changing shapes and went from one object to at one point up to 5 distinct objects flying together morphing and so on. I thought at one point it was a helicopter carrying something, then realized it wasn't. Then a totally red helicopter appeared from nowhere which is in itself unusual for us, we have never seen a red helicopter in our city, ever. The helicopter appeared to be hovering above us watching this U.F.O! When I finally uploaded the video and took a closer look WOW ! I paused the video at different intervals and captured those as images and the zoomed in closer, and unbelievable. We seen many different symbols within what appeared to be like an invisible bubble around each of the objects many of the symbols were crosses. One in particular when it was three objects each had a different symbol, a cross, what appeared to be an image of a d.n.a strand, ie. double helix, and the third looks like a person kneeling down on their knees praying. I will send original video, along with a couple of the different images we get out of these ufos. It was truly amazing. My wife was a real sceptic until this happened on the anniversary of her grandmother's birthday, leap year day. I have seen and witnessed many other wordly things my entire life, but this was great because I had a witness and video to back it up. Please let me know if or what you think. I believe we are witnessing some incredible things at this time.

Farmington, MO
My fiance and I observed a rather large object traveling from the south heading north toward St. Louis, Missouri. This object looked like a rod UFO as seen in some rod UFO photos on the net. There was no sound nor was there any lights or contrail. The object was moving pretty quickly and the sighting lasted for a minute or less. This object looked like a series of squares with a core but the square shapes changed as they waved like that of a centipede's legs. I looked up possible photos of what we saw and I did find a photo that looks almost identical to our encounter. I asked if anyone else had seen this on a social media sight and found that a lady and he grand daughter had observed it, too, while traveling North on Hwy. 67. I find it strange that a sighting was reported in St. Louis approximately an hour later, which is sixty miles north of Farmington. This was the strangest thing that I have ever seen.

February 13, 2016, in Wichita, Kansas. About 5:30 am, I was taking my dogs out to potty. I looked up and saw what I thought must be a satellite moving fast from East to West across the sky. As it got straight overhead, I noticed that it seemed to be flashing white and red and knew it wasn't a satellite. After another moment, the light separated and spread to four lights in a rectangular formation. There was no sound and the speed and direction never changed.

Fort Lauderdale, FL
I was at Fort Lauderdale Beach with four of my friends, around 11 P.M., on February 12, 2016. In the sky there was a lot of bright stars and what we thought was a planet. This “planet” gave off a light light that was shining so bright the surface of the ocean lit up. There also seemed to be a large amount of incoming planes from over the horizon, which were also reflecting light off the water. (Airplanes do not have lights that bright.) More “planes” kept coming and they kept getting lower. We soon realized that these were ships morphing into and disguising as our crafts. We could see it happening. All of the lights began coming closer and brighter. I saw the light that looked like a planet come from high in the sky to low and it slowly moved towards us. Once it got close, it looked like a huge military ship, but it was translucent. It gave off both blueish and redish glows. Within the huge ship were several small light beings that seemed to control the ship. They got so close that the ship was coming onto the sand. We receded back to the parking lot and it kept coming closer. It remained hovering stationary for about 15-20 minutes. This being was within 10 feet of us. We didn’t know what to do and we were all trying to process what we were seeing. I was really worked up and excited. When I left, I felt like the beings had contacted me telepathically (but I can’t speak for the others). I didn’t hear a voice, but it was like my brain received a message. I knew that the thoughts I had about the way they felt came right from them. They told me they had the power to do ANYTHING and they are invincible. They are light beings making contact with us because we attracted them to us. They came in peace and I left with feelings of euphoria.

It was 8pm on Sunday bight, and my boyfriend called his son and myself outside. Red looking fireballs coming one after another flying in the skies. It was light orange, but more in vivid red color and round with the naked eye. They were approximately 2-3000 feet in air. Very, very visual. Flying over our head. One after another. These objects were heading northwest . When I look up couldn't believe my eyes. They just kept coming. Furthermore, there were commercial planes heading east passing them. However, it did not effect these strange anomolies, or crafts. Lastly, some disappeared west into clouds, as thou they flew straight up into the sky. Mean while, others headed northwest direction with no sound, as well. Overall, I have pictures to post. And, 49 years of life , first time I witmessed such a event! Red balls flying north, west , and straight up! The pictures are all different shapes and colors. As I kept snapping. Furthermore, i have a photo, from a family member, in Bucks County that I've been holding. She sent them to me, the night they came over her yard, which is not the first time. These images are amazing! She will remain anonymous. In the end, I too have seen with my very own eyes, so I'm ready to release her photo now.

Bolton, NY
I am a commercial pilot on a VFR flight. My course line over Lake George, NY, took me from Sandy Bay to Northwest Bay. At my cruising altitude 2500 Ft MSL, I noticed what I first thought to be another aircraft heading towards me at same altitude off my 11:30 - 12 o'clock position. I first estimated its distance to be 5-6 miles away. As I continued I turned on all lights to become more visible. After about the first minute of observation, the object appeared stationary with a gradual increase in its altitude. Its color and shape changed from looking like a distant white landing light initially, to slightly larger rectangle of reddish/yellow color flickering like a waving flag. The sighting coincided with the time of sunset that day, however I ruled out reflected sunlight due to the many layers of clouds creating relatively flat light. As I approached the object, I had a growing concern that it may be a balloon of some type possibly on a cable or cable suspended below it. I changed course about 5-10 degrees east to avoid possible hazard. After about the 6th or 7th minute of observation the object completely vanished! The rest of the flight was uneventful. I have not witnessed an object like this in over 20 years of commercial flying; truly unidentified! Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
