Quartzsite, AZ
Each UFO had what looked like 4 lights on the bottom, each light was round changed from colors of red, green or white. Did not move fast made formation of 5 in shape of a triangle. The main one that was the closest went to the top of the formation, then the other 4 would show for a few seconds, maybe 10 seconds at the most. What was so strange is that it hoovered for approximately 30 minutes with a beam coming down from it. I have 2 good videos of this event if you would like to see it.

I went outside to smoke a cigarette, when I seen blinking lights that stood still then the lights moved up in the sky then back down then across the sky then landed behind the mountains, and there was no sound. I caught the blinking lights on video and I also sent a picture to your director. Possibly a "twinkling" star?? PD

Colorado Springs (east of), CO
We were passengers on an American Airlines flight from Seattle to Dallas (DFW) on the mid-afternoon of January 12, 2016, when we noticed a strange dark brown or black-ish "streak" or elongated "smear" to the north high-lighted against the clouds. As we watched this unusual sight, it suddenly had a roll upward so that the shape was more like an object with a long tail or smoke exhaust, but then it resumed the horizontal "streak" shape and very very quickly receded sideways to the north, in just a few seconds it disappeared. Very strange! We've been flying for over 50 years and have never seen anything like this.

The next sighting was on February 6, 2016, and the number of lights are several and move in all directions but can also stay in one place. I have taken several pictures and now watch them ever night since. They come out as soon as it get dark. I am not sure when they leave, since I get cold and tired and go to bed.

Scottsdale, AZ
((male name deleted)) and 110th st. Scottsdale, AZ, higher than the rest of the valley 7:30-8:30pm I stepped outside to see three large bright lights in the sky in a triangle formation. I was driving but every time I looked they had rotated while staying in a triangle. If you had a full moon and put a point on the top and sides of a full moon, I would say this is how far they were from one another. By the time I pulled over there was only one light left; I told my boyfriend I wasn’t going anywhere until this light disappeared. It was not above me in the sky, but south of me low on the horizon. Another bright light reappeared nearby the other. One left its location and slowly crossed the sky. It decreased in brightness and traveled east to west. If you split the sky in 18 sections, it would cross one of these in a little less than a minute. Planes flew by but were fast and not nearly as bright as even the traveling UFO. The light they emitted was pure white. When they traveled they usually got dimmer. I took off my glasses and the only light I could see in the sky, including stars, were these lights. We starred at them freaking out with excitement for an hour. They would occasionally disappear and reappear in a nearby location. My boyfriend and I argued of what he thought was a plane at about 8 o’clock. It had two very dim white lights flashing very close in proximity and moved faster than the UFO’s before. I convinced him that it was a UFO because the lights were not consistent in spacing. They also would fly back and forth from east to west. Also I do not know if it was just me because I was wearing glasses, but they individually appeared to be elongated vertically. The light looked like it came to a small point and expanded to the rest of the light. It was very subtle, but he said he could kind of see it too. We ended up leaving before they were gone. At midnight I was back on the road and I could see one bright UFO. A couple minutes passed and it was gone; I didn’t see anything else this night.

Seymour, TN
Bright ball of white light brighter than starlight. Changed from a circle to a triangle of lights. Looked like a pyramid moving through the sky. Changed shape three times in a period of three minutes observed. From a ball of light to a line of light then to a pyramid . Then faded as it moved quickly away. Left no sound. Leaving us astonished and shakened. Remembered UFO center from Friday nights report on Coast to Coast am. Decided it was serious enough to report. Friend took video on smart phone.

Nashville, TN
Was driving down Briley Parkway, from Madison to the West side of Nashville. The time I entered is an approximation, but it was daylight, not long before evening, and I was looking up at what seemed like a very bright star above the road in front of me. I started thinking it looked more like something lower, like a plane, but it was just one white light and seemed stationary. While I was looking at it, it seemed to stretch or unfurl into a straight line. When that happened, it looked more like a metallic thing, and the light (which before was all I could see) seemed to all move to the top, above the object...like it was either light reflecting off of it, or flame/exhaust shooting out of it. Then, it looked like it just shrunk into itself and disappeared, or maybe flew away in the direction perfectly away from me, so that it looked like it just shrunk into nothing. Or maybe it just stopped reflecting light, it's hard to say. I saw another report from the 5th in a nearby area that sounded similar, so I decided to report mine as well.

If people are interested, I will go into more detail, but for now I will keep it short and sweet. Was up early for one of my 2 required Saturday shifts for work. Happened to go sit on my balcony to stargaze and relax, before heading in to work in a few hours. Saw what initially resembled the usual airplanes that come through to go to the Phoenix Airport nearby, however, this object quickly approached and I could tell it was much too large to be an airplane. It started out roughly saucer like with your typical yellowish white light, but then literally started to morph green, blue, red, orange, etc in a fashion such as fiber optics would look like. Still not that shocked, I continued to watch it approach from the north and it eventually completely stopped and just hovered, only making a few impossible maneuvers for any (declassified) man-made tech. To make things really interesting, as it hovered, it twice descended while dropping what seemed to be small disc like crafts with the similar cycling of lights the "mothership" had. The only reason I wasn't sure of how many came from it was because I was too focused on all of the helicopters and airforce jets sneaking up to get a closer look. The object hovered a good 30 minutes before this happened and I never took my eyes off it. It would morph and change from the saucer like shape to almost a crown or diamond type shape, but the color now stayed mostly yellowish white. When approached by what I believe to be a helicopter (that or a jet) it appeared to playfully recede at any probe too close to it. As the sun was beginning to come up, it lowered what looked like a few hundred foot "ropes" of light, 3 to be exact. The smaller craft that were closer to the ground sort of just hovering as well then slowly ascended up and merged back with the "mothership", all the while the jets and helicopters were EVERYWHERE. I mean they weren't making it obvious, but I could hear the helicopters and see the jets. Finally, the object made some crazy "skipping" like maneuvers and as it did so, one of the tiny little clouds that were in the sky came as if it was called over, and the object slowly dimmed and went higher and higher. It was the most insane thing I have ever seen. I am a college educated male, 25 years of age, and only drink on the rare occasion. Wide awake for a good 3 hours of witnessing all of these strange events. I really would like to see if anyone else witnessed something similar! I have always been somewhat of a believer, but still do not know if I am witnessing new experimental aircraft, or ET phenomenon. I am open minded and will not jump to conclusions, but this has me very, very intrigued. I will continue to watch that area of the sky in the same hours now to see if I can catch any more glimpses of what went on. Thanks for reading,

I was walking back from my niece's house back to my sisters house. When I looked up at the clear night, I saw what I thought appeared to be an UFO. I looked around and saw more, anywhere from 7 to 15 craft. It looked like an airplane but was not moving. There were red, green, blue lights around a white ball in the middle. There were lots of stars around the UFO, which is what drew my attention to it in the first place. It just stayed in one spot. I kept going outside and checking on it for the next 5 hours. At around 12:30 pm, it was gone. The smaller ones were gone also. Observers were a female age 45 and her nephew age 25.

Last night December, 25th, 2015. I was outside waiting for a cab, and I noticed some strange lights in the sky. I'm not into the UFO investigating, but there were three of them lined up, by the time I got my phone out two of them just shot away. No way it's a plane because one went backward. I'm an experienced Paranormal Investigator (Ghost Hunting), but I never investigated UFO's, I have two pictures which I would be happy to send you.

Queen Creek, AZ
Viewing to the North from our backyard. Multiple lights (100+) drifted in from East (Apache Junction) Lights were intense RGB with mostly Blue and Green and BG metallic with less Red and orange. Lights were of different sizes. Light field would form patterns and change directions. Estimated area from farthest lights apart 1 to 1.5 miles. We have some video fro iPhone but it does not recreate the intensity or show all the smaller points of light. Video does seem to show a spherical edge to the front of the mass of lights not initially seen by naked eye. Light pattern morphed into shapes such as a salamander and angel fish shapes. Individual lights would turn on and off and some would strobe in changing patterns. Initially thought fireworks but after a second realized not possible. Second choice was Northern Lights. This did not have the haze field of the borealis but different points. Don't remember if points would change color, need to review video

Vacaville, CA
It was 6:05 pm when I was walking from my next door neighbor's house towards my house when I looked up and saw a round or egg shape ball of light coming very fast up in the sky. It must have been going 1500-2500 knots. I stopped to watch it as it flew like a missile or a rocket ball that had tracer light streaming behind it. It flew at an angle up and over the direction of Travis Air Force Base. My neighbor and I both watched it slow down to a stop and appeared to be angled down as we could see light coming out of it. We both agreed that it was egg or round in shape. There was no sound at all and it seemed to be about the same size as a four door car. We both kept walking following behind it as not to loose it. It flew a distance I see plains fly all the time accept plains take about 5-10 minutes do fly the same distance. I could not believe what I was seeing. I went in my house to document what I had just seen and I found my digital recorder and tried to go! back over everything that we witnessed. When I went back outside from the original event it was 6:25 pm it is now 7:30 pm as I am writing this report and I just herd sirens like police with a weird humming and now I am hearing a loud airplane engine as I look there is what looks like a boing 777 flying in a big circle around my house and area where the said event took place. Re-entering space debris. PD

It was very bright and shifted shape from round to an almost diamond shape, we took pictures, however every time we zoomed in and snapped a shot the object would shrink.

New Bloomington, OH
My husband was heading home from Marion, Ohio, at 5:34 pm. It was completely dark outside already. He called me and said "You need to look outside, toward Marion". I asked why? He said "I'm seeing something in the sky with three BRIGHT white lights". I asked if it was possibly the little dipper, he answered "No it's low and just flew over me on the road"! I ran to the window, and sure enough there were three incredibly bright white lights flying toward me. I went outside and watched it come closer. It wasn't three orbs of light, this was something solid. I tried to identify the shape, but couldn't. The lights started shutting off/rearranging for about 45 seconds. I watched it go from three bright white lights, to two, to one light white light, and eventually only a red and green, light. By the end this object looked like a plane in the night sky. This definitely isn't the first time I've seen something unbelievable in this area.

Tracy, CA
At due north in the sky on 12/6 at 7:45PM, three people witnessed a bright glowing orange roundish object, approximately 30-45 degrees from horizon in the northwest sky. Two minutes after first observing the object, it separated into two pieces, with the smaller piece at 5:00 relative to the larger. The smaller piece dimmed after a few seconds of appearing and went out and the larger piece continued to glow orange. After a few seconds, the larger object appeared to decrease in size and brightness. Then the larger object dimmed and disappeared. After a couple of seconds, it suddenly brightened to same original intensity and then after a second or two it dimmed back to a faint orange glow. It then disappeared again. While this was going on, a strong beam of light from the North East flashed from the ground toward the object. This happened a couple of times for a period of a few seconds. Within a minute of the orange object disappearing, in the same gener! al area, we then saw what appeared to be a white translucent jellyfish like object, which at first was traveling slowly in a due south path directly towards us. It came almost directly overhead and it slowly took a north easterly path and continued to take that path until it disappeared from view. All three of us got a good look with binoculars. Under the binoculars, object was pale white, translucent, shape-shifting. It looked like a jellyfish that can change its form. The shapes were not discernible, nor symmetric, almost like random shapes, but very broadly changed from being roughly spherical to more flat and back to spherical, with protrusions sometimes coming out. Was very easy to see changing of shapes with the naked eye as well. Seemed large maybe 50 to 100+ feet in diameter, but very difficult to say how large with any confidence. The changing of the shape appeared to be unlikely due to wind alone (like a balloon) as far we could tell considering very low wi! nd speed (we looked online and there was a 4mph gust north eas! t wind). There was no wind we could feel (trees were completely still). The object was changing shape much more quickly than what seemed possible due to wind alone. Object also seemed to be moving noticeably faster in the northeast direction than what seemed possible by wind alone (although the low wind was blowing in the direction it disappeared from our view). Estimated altitude, very difficult to say, no clouds for altitude reference, but probably between 1000–4000 feet. Jellyfish-looking object disappeared from view after ~2 minutes of initially seeing it. This witness testimony was written by all three witnesses within minutes of the event. A cell phone video was attempted but could not get the objects in focus.

Prospect, ME
Because it was a clear night, I went outside to look at the stars, while our dog was out before bed. I noticed a large orb in the eastern sky and was perplexed that it was so bright. Thought it might be a close planet. I went inside the house to get binoculars. Upon further scrutiny, I saw that there were different colored lights (red, green, white, blue-ish) rotating around the orb. Trying to rationalize what this was, I thought of a few things and then discarded those thoughts because they didn’t make sense. My husband was already in bed, but I felt it necessary to ask him to come downstairs and look for himself. I certainly wanted a second person to affirm my sighting…no matter what it was. After he and I watched it for a bit and conversed about what it might be, we opted to call a neighbor to look to see if he could see it from his house. We are at a higher elevation (maybe 20-30 feet than he. He couldn’t see the object we were looking at.. The object changed from an ‘orb’ to a flatter configuration and then almost like it stood on its edge, still circular. I watched it for another hour, and then went to bed. No changes in position or intensity.

Alanson, MI
headed home (mackinaw city) from visiting mom at mclaren hospital (petoskey),i spotted 2 bright lights which i thought was a plane with landing lights and looking south east and realized as i glanced up again to my surprise they were stationary and as i got closer going down the fairly steep hill coming to the light from chicago street at the intersection of 31&68 the 2 large round lights turned into 4, it was around 6pm and heavy traffic as i turned right (south) on 31 and watching and driving i went 100 -200 yards turning right into the gas station to park and watch and make sense of these lights i pulled to close to the gas station canopy so i backed up and looked up only to witness them impossibly vanish in front of my eyes,i had no alchol and no i wasnt smoking anything and as much traffic as there was someone else had to see them,please dont tell me ive lost my mind and seeing things,what got me is 2 smaller bright white lights turned into 4 much bigger round lights and they were crossing one another at first 2 lights side by side turned into 4 lights in a straight line and changed formation to 2 side by side and behind them the other 2 they criss crossed and vanished and this all happened in 3-5 mins

Arroyo Grande, CA
Last night, at around 10pm, myself and one other member of my family witnessed numerous round objects in the sky that were filled with allumunating colered lights-blue-red-yellow. The lights would twinkle on and off almost like watching a ferris wheel as the objects changed shape and form. The objects were to big to be stars and were amazing to look at with binoculars. There were also displays of whited lights shooting through the clouds and then just disappearing. Possible sighting of "twinkling" stars, we wonder. PD

Beautiful, clear, sunny morning sky....Looked outside kitchen window and thought it was strange to see in what appeared to be a very small cloud in the sky. No other clouds could be seen. Watched the shape change from circular to oval to oblong when the cloud broke into two in a matter of seconds! The lower cloud appeared to light up like eletricity was running through it (similar to when you see lightning in the daytime). The light then slowly left a trail heading downwards then hooked upwards leaving a impression of what looked like a fishing hook! Then it slowly faded away! Was not a vap trail as a few where visible at time of sighting! Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Pine River, WI
Two objects about 4 miles apart. Very bright white light changing in size with short rays coming from beneath, coming from the south east heading north west. I was on my deer hunting stand at the time and viewed them with 9 power binoculars, also called local sheriff's department to see if a car was near by. When the stars all disappeared from the morning sunrise those two objects stayed visible. I spend many nights snowmobiling and winter night predator hunting and never have seen anything like this.

Bright light in eastern sky near downtown Asheville. I thought it was really bright star but then looked at it with binoculars. Was a rotating shape covered in while lights with a cylinder in the middle. The shape would change as it rotated. It did not move in the sky or make a sound.
