Sanborn, NY
I was driving down a busy straight road when all of a sudden it looked like a white light shot straight up into the sky on my left hand side. So i pulled over and my girlfriend and I could see 3 orbs moving around as if they were dancing or chasing each other. This went on for about 10 minutes until slowly the moved location went higher up in the sky and seemed like they drifted away.

Brother came in from outdoors saying that there are flashing lights in the sky. Myself and another went outdoors to observe the lights in the sky and yes there were two clear sites of the flashing colorful lights moving rapidly. Looking through binoculars, we could see the side way oval circle of flashing lights of red green n other colors moving swiftly in that particular area. They were located in the North east skies. We began to look to other area of the sky and spotted a few more. We returned inside the house for about 40 minutes to an hour and went back outdoors to notice the objects had moved more over head in the sky and one of the objects had other seemingly flashing craft around it forming sort of a triangle. We observed them for another 20 minutes or so and returned indoors. What the heck were those objects we saw in the sky???

Sacramento, CA
Around 11:35 AM, I went outside to get fresh air, I looked up toward the west to look at the moon (which was barely visible) and I saw the first object gradually appear. I started dim like a star then became brighter up to a 4.4, like Venus. A few seconds after it came into view it started to swing from north to south then started to travel south, very slowly. I called my mother to view what I was viewing, just to confirm what I was seeing and she saw the same thing too. I told her to keep an eye on the object while I grab binoculars. By the time I got back, my mother said it had faded away, I'm assuming it went back up into the atmosphere? Then a commercial aircraft passed by and then we saw another star trailing the commercial craft - that one was blinking. I brought up my binoculars to look at the plane and the blinking thing that was trailing it but it and the plane left my view because my house was obstructing my view. However, in the area where we first ! spotted the blinking thing that was following craft I saw through the binoculars a silver-whitish gray pill. It looked like it was tumbling to the east then froze, then glided west and then it tumbled up into the atmosphere where it faded away.

East Brunswick, NJ
I was driving East bound of Cranbury Road East Brunswick on Sunday of Sept. 25, 2016. I have noticed that shiny oval shape object was flying toward left. At the same time there were commercial planes in the sky and I definitely can tell the difference between UFO from the planes. After about 10 seconds it disappeared...just like that. I was projecting the path and try to follow thinking it went behind the cloud but... It just disappeared... no cloud either.

Cincinnati, OH
I witnessed a small orange light coming towards my location at the UDF on River Road and Anderson Ferry. It was coming north from Kentucky near the CVG airport. It was bright orange and circular in shape. It came to a stop and appeared to get larger before it slowly closed down and disappeared. It did not fly away just just got dimmer until it was gone. Not a plane and not a helicopter. First UFO I have ever seen in person.

South Burlington, VT
Extended UFO Sighting over Burlington International Airport. At Approximately 6:15 PM on Saturday, September 24, 2016, my wife, son and myself were in close proximity to the Burlington International Airport inspecting some commercial buildings in a wide open field. I am a licensed commercial small UAV (drone) pilot. And I was scouting the location in preparation for an upcoming drone shoot. We were about a quarter mile west of the airport and I witnessed an airliner making an approach and landing on runway 33—this will be important in a minute. My son is 5 and absolutely loves airplanes. We routinely drive by the airport and hope to see aircraft take off and land as it’s a thrill for him. As we proceeded to drive over towards the airport my wife and I spotted a slow-moving unidentifiable aircraft coming in towards the airport from the north. I estimated the aircraft to be at around 2,000 feet in altitude and moving incredibly slow. This was alarming to me because I made a mental note just a couple of minutes earlier that airliners were utilizing runway 33, which meant that general aviation (small planes) would have been utilizing runway 1. This would have put the unidentifiable aircraft directly into the path of a departing airliner. As the unidentifiable aircraft was in Class “C” airspace, it would not have been permitted to fly over the airport at an altitude of 2,000 feet, let alone on a heading that put it into the path of departing airliners. By this time, we are at the airport driving through the terminal and my son is enjoying the airliners. My wife and I are trying to keep track of the unidentifiable craft as it is literally right above the airport STILL at an elevation of around 2,000 feet and moving ever so slowly towards the southeast. We lost the UFO in the clouds and thought that was the end of it. We proceeded to the cell phone waiting area on the north side of the airport where people wait for phone calls to pick up their party. My wife found the UFO in the sky and it had changed directions completely. It was NOW heading back the way it came from towards the North West. I got out of my truck grabbing my cell phone in the process and tried capturing as much of it as I could. I wish I had better footage to show you, but it’s regrettably not great. It was already moving too far away. BUT, the craft had no anti-collision lights. NO strobe lights. No noticeable engine sounds. Far, Far too large to be a drone. It had a fat oval mid-section, not a long cylindrical aircraft shape. Don’t know… Thank you!

Toronto (Canada), ON · Canada
On Saturday September 24 I attended the Blue Jays-Yankees baseball game with a friend in Toronto. We looked up at the sky through the dome opening at about 5:55 p.m. and saw a white, fuzzy, slow- moving craft about three to four times as high as the Goodyear Blimp which was overhead for a lot of the game. The blurry white craft reappeared about eight minutes later with five tiny red lights appearing in tow. The tiny red lights seemed to flicker in and out of view quickly before all the lights disappeared. My friend suggested parachutists but I’m not so sure, given the altitude of the lights and that no parachutists came into view. Any word on what it might have been?

As the Helicopters were coming back from the Grand Canyon all in a line heading east to west, I noticed 3 white circular lights over the Frenchman Mountain Range that were sitting still in the sky facing me and lined up North to south. I saw the Ball of Light that was farthest south move south and the other one in the Middle seemed to move to the east. As it got dark the one Ball of light remained and began to shine brightly turning Gold, Red, Green, Orange (No Blue) and then it would dim and go black and disappear only to reappear and start shining brightly again.It appeared to change shapes as well as it sat in the sky. On occasions another Ball of light not as bright would appear to the south of this one stationary light. I watched this from approximately 530pm to 10pm when is disappeared. I work as an Armed Bike Security Officer and had a great view from the top of the parking Garage where I work and showed many people this who were as amazed as I was.

Quincy, MA
I saw a green oval shape move from quickly through the sky first going right to left, up and down, then is disappeared. The sky was very cloudy and it was difficult to even see planes however this unidentified flying object was very bright and easily seen. It was silent.

North Brookfield, MA
I was driving with my friends on a back road in North Brookfield, MA, when I happened to look out the driver side back seat window to see a green oval that was moving not as fast as a shooting star but faster than a normal plane, it was bigger than a plane and left a green streak in the sky. I never believed in this type of stuff before this, I have never seen anything close to this. It kept on flying, even after I drove past I told my friends to turn around but when we went back it was gone.

Springtown, TX
Every night at about 10pm I step outside for a cigarette and to see the Texas stars. Tonight, some sort of craft, which literally had no sound flew in an odd pattern overhead. Large planes, small private craft, and at times helicopters fly over, but obviously they all have sound. This was some sort of aircraft with a lit arc on top that was visible, with about 3 to 4 spread out lights underneath that appeared to be rotating. I was in the USAF – and I’ve NEVER seen a craft like that, whether from the flightline or up in the sky. Plus the flight pattern was extremely swift and “rounded” without any sound. It actually made me feel strange to watch it…like a sinking feeling - I’ve never experienced that with visualizing aircraft before. The arced light was like a constant bar/stream, and the lights underneath were rotating. It wasn’t a toy, because I work in advertising, and I know what toy or drone craft look like. So for me, this was something completely unidentifiable/odd/unknown. Out in Springtown, if it were of conventional technology, I would have heard some sort of noise from the aircraft –but it was silent. It flew in like a slingshot style of pattern – not a conventional straight overhead pattern. The lights never “tilted”. From my iPhone compass, I was literally standing at 32 degrees, 57’28” N 97 degrees, 40’36” W, 860 ft elevation.

Gila, NM
I watched the event from my open bedroom window. It was a well defined oval shape with the outer rim showing and what looked like a rounded dome. It had no blinking or fixed lights, had a dull, non reflective gray metallic surface: but there was a dim, blue halo effect around the craft. Traveling very fast from east to west. As it passed it became very quiet out and then after it passed the noise of frogs and bugs resumed. The moon was out, thin transparent clouds but mostly clear. Visibility was excellent. The night was cold. There was a cold slight wind from the south/southwest. I live in a valley, near a river and a wilderness area....quite remote. This object seemed quite low.

Manitou Springs, CO
I saw what looked like a huge fireball coming west to east over Ute Pass area. I was in Manitou Springs. and it went right over me. I ran in to grab my phone and when I was back outside it was further away and my phone camera did not pick it up. It seemed to stay still then made abrupt move quickly but not far. I think it then went north but seemed to fade away. It was very big seemed kind of low. It looked like a ball of fire, orange and some red moving within itself like flames. I also saw what looked like a beam of light coming out and moving around. It was coming down over the mountains fast toward Colorado Springs then seemed to go higher then seemed be still over Colorado Springs moving around like it was looking around then faded to the north. For some strange reason, witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Athens, AL
to see if the power was out just in my apartment, or power was out in the area. The power was out everywhere. looking at the night sky, was a bright full moon. was hoping to get a good view of the stars, with the power out. But the moon was so bright, was not able to get a good view of the stars. looking toward the western sky I see a very bright orange light, moving at high speed. Moving from west to east. It had a oval shape. It had no contrail, made no sound. I was in the USAF. I know what I saw was not any kind of winged aircraft, or meteor. i estimate it past within a mile or two from were I live. I went around the back of the complex to see if i see more of it. But it was already gone. Spoke to a man that lives next to me said He saw it also.

Citrus Heights, CA
Over the night sky around 7:59-8:01 pm facing south I was standing in my driveway smoking a cigarette, when in the sky appeared a oval object that was descending rapidly north-west. It lasted in sight for no more then 3 seconds. It had a orange fiery trail behind it,the frontal part of the descending object had a kinda opal glow on the front side as it fell. The sky was open in front of me no trees blocked my view,also it appeared as if the object had slowed its decent after a second of me noticing it,it had slowed by what I would calculate as 30-40% maybe the strange part was after only seeing it for a few seconds it vanished as if it had flown behind something I couldn't see, the trail of orange followed into the same absence of sight.

Emmett, ID
While walking with my girl ((name deleted)) on montour rd in Emmett, Idaho, we both at the same saw plain as day something that looked and most of all moved like nothing we know of in the world. It was low enough to the ground so it came into our view as it moved from behind the small butte down the street. This was close, as it moved from our right to left across the edge of the horizon. On its path it stopped and wobbled a bit then back tracked for a short length till it continued. The color was white when going but red when it stopped or backing up. We lost site of it as it went behind another hill across from the butte. So much more but can't text all that i have to tell.

Ottawa (Canada), ON · Canada
Sunday, Sept 11, 2016, 12:05 AM, Ottawa, Ontario, Latitude: 45°18'N. Longitude: 75°39'W. I woke up about midnight and went over to the bedroom window to adjust the venetian blind. I saw a bright light in the sky, much bigger than any star, about 10 degrees above the horizon. It seemed to be somewhat horizontally oblong in shape and not moving at first. Then it started moving, slowly at first, then picking up speed, going from West to East. Finally, it crossed the visible horizon and going at quite a clip, it seemed to be about one or two miles away. It wasn't going much faster than a small airplane not too far away. But the light was much bigger that would be attached to any airplane which usually has more than one light. The window was open but there was no sound. There are small airplanes and helicopters that fly over all the time but I have no trouble hearing them even when the window is closed. It was not possible to discern any definite outline since the object was shinning so bright. The main oblong light was white with a slight bluish tint. There was also and just a tiny bit smaller, and more perfectly round, red light, that pulsed on and off about once every second, in the middle of the object. There have been previous sightings by myself in this area of the sky.

Albuquerque, NM
A Large Oval bright white light in the west side of Albuquerque, NM, was pretty low in the sky to be a star, possibly a planet but seem too low for a planet. It stood still from 8 pm to 8:38 it vanished in a blink of an eye. I had seen it before in the sky from my work, always thought it was the new planet scientist claimed they found.

Westport, IN
Was driving this morning and noticed an orange/yellow orb. Thought it was an star at first then noticed it was below the clouds. I watched it for several minutes then it disappeared. A few minutes later it showed back up but this time the light was flashing. This continued for a couple minutes then it shot off leaving a streak of light.

Centerville, IA
On the morning of September 8, 2016, between 12:30 and 1:00 am, I observed an orange light in the sky on the eastern edge of Centerville, Iowa. When I first noticed the light my first thought was it’s another small plane, but then I realized it didn’t have the normal lights of a plane, it was glowing orange. I could see it just above a line of tree tops, moving rather slowly to the north, until it disappeared behind taller trees. In about a minute, maybe less, it appeared again, moving back in the opposite direction. I watched until it again disappeared behind the trees. Its shape was almost oval, except that it was more flat on the bottom, and was raised on the top, which made me think it might have been a disc shaped craft. I couldn’t be sure how big it might have been since I had nothing to use as a reference, and I couldn’t be sure how far away it was, but it seemed to be rather low in the sky moving slowly and I thought maybe it was looking for something. I sometimes see small planes this low, so I’m thinking it was about the size of one of those. It was a clear and calm night, and this thing kept the same speed in both directions.
