North Chesterfield, VA
Driving in Bon Air, noticed a tight vertical formation of white lights hovering in the sky. There for several seconds, then lost sight. Very tight formation of a cluster of lights in a vertical format. Best way to describe it is to give an analogy of someone putting clear/white Christmas lights in a 2 liter bottle of soda, then floating the object at several hundred feet. Object photographed. Very odd. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

J.R. 619-((telephone number deleted))...saw 4 lights straight across horizontal, constantly flashing, craft descended, hovered for a few SEC's, then completely disappeared. The object dwarfed a nearby plane. The object was emmense, extremely large. It dwarfed a jumbo jet...just trying to stress the size of the object! I am sober, coherent and sane.

Santa Fe, NM
On December 10, 2016, at around 6 p.m., my husband and I observed two lines of planes flying overhead in Santa Fe county. We counted about 8 in one line coming from the South and about 10 in another line coming from the North, flying in formation (a straight line) with equal distance between them. We heard the rumbling of the engines and saw the lights flashing. They were headed in the direction of Los Alamos. We had heard others minutes before we realized and saw that they were planes. Would like to know if anyone else noticed or knows what this was about? Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Nairn, LA
This is the second time I have witnessed such a thing. In June of 2014, in the same location over the Mississippi River, I witnessed the same thing happen. I looked on this site a few days after I saw it and noticed someone else in my same town witnessed the same thing that year. I have no idea what these orange orbs could be?

North Snohomish, WA
My son and I were driving Northbound on Bickford Ave just about to take the on ramp to Highway 2 when the sky lit up and there was an oddly shaped bright white light in the clouds. The shape was hard to make out because it was in the clouds but it looked to be diamond shape with streamers of light coming off of it. It happened fast but didn’t appear to be lightning or move. It seemed stationary. I saw it, then looked at my son, he then asked me “what kind of drone was that dad”? Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Sahuarita, AZ
From 2015 - 2017 I was in Sahuarita, Az, 20 miles south of Tucson. I was staying at a friend's ranch which backs up to the Santa Rita Mountains and some of the last 'open range' left in America. The government has so much land there they literally let people graze cattle or do whatever they want on the land. I was recovering from an assault with a baseball bat, struck to head several times and spent three years in rehab therapy. Coming from LA, I had never seen nighttime skies like that. The nearest town, Sahuarita, was 10 miles away and has a light pollution ban on any white lights, so when the magnificent sunsets were over, you were left with a sky that looked like a planetarium. My eyes were hyper sensitive to light following the assault, and I couldn't watch television or any synthetic light of any kind. So I would sit on the porch or stand out in the open corral and stair up the stars, usually meditating and praying my brain would eventually recover. One night, I was standing out in the corral, and I noticed a light, what I thought was a meteor or falling star streak across the nighttime sky. It was common place to witness 'shooting stars' as frequently as every few minutes. However this one straked across the sky from the south west across/ above the Santa Ritas and when I assumed it would disappear as they always had, the light stopped, remained in the air, got brighter white, then dimmed, then turned red, moved across the sky to my east. It stopped again, then went what looked to me as up, stopped again and began flashing green, red, and back to white. Over the next few minutes it continued to hover, move as fast as if I had a laser pointer, then stop again. I went from thinking my brain was hallucinating to having a reaction to my meds, to accepting this was real. I went back to the ranch house and called for my friend to come out and look at this. She reluctantly came out and when I pointed to the light she said, "Oh yeah, you're just seeing this? I guess your head was pretty messed up!" I looked at her dumbfounded, was this happening? She went on to say, that's nothing, when she was living on a ranch years ago, she actually saw one land while on a late night ride through the desert. My friend is a Champion Barrel Racer and works as a Science Teacher for 'at risk' high school students. She is one of the smartest people I know and has an advanced degree in Animal Science from U of A. Not someone who fell off the apple cart. My eyes were so sensitive to light that I began to see other strange lights, sometimes several at once (the most I remember seeing was a group of 8). One of the first things I did when my eyes began to accept synthetic light from screens was to download a Skytracker app so I could identify what I was looking at. I was able to instantly identify each star I pointed at and even satellites. For months, I would go out when my alert for the Space Station would pass by. But every time I saw one of these lights, the app showed black space on the screen. My friend's marathon running partner is a top operational engineer over-seeing top secret programs at Raytheon. I asked her if they did test flights over the area. She told me officially Raytheon in Tucson deals with guidance systems and does not engage with the Airforce base there, nor to they do any aerial testing themselves. Unofficially she said, we are a multi-billion dollar defense company, which means we make a lot of stuff. Expensive stuff with cutting edge 'new' technology. And that technology needs to be tested in real world scenarios. She finished by saying, there's a reason we're in the desert and not in some city like LA. And there's a reason the Airforce is here and has a secret ops division. So you're smart, I'll let you figure the rest out for yourself. When I described what I saw, she said 'theoretically, if we had a project that required aerial testing, I would know about it as it falls under my team. But right now, we are in development phase so there is n! o testing going on. What you saw most likely wasn't ours." I asked her later about it more, maybe 6 months later and as I had gotten to know her better, she opened up one night a bit more. She basically said there's a lot of stuff that goes on that people are unaware of. Since most people don't just stare up at the sky for hours they are unaware of what goes on. Whatever the light was, I continued to see more until eventually I became bored with seeing strange lights. I would say the longest I went without seeing strange lights was two weeks. I completely believe most of what I saw was military, but as my for lack of better words, my spiritual psychic side definitely became more aware after the brain injury and I began to have a feeling or 'vibe' about what I was seeing. There was a certain sense when I would see what I 'felt' was man-made. Most of what I witnessed had that vibe. But on at least 10 other occasions, what I saw had a different vibe all together and felt very foreign or strange. Sorry for the long story, I'm sure it could be shorter but my writing is still not great after the injury. I don't think I'm unique in seeing this. The local ranchers I met and talked to all seemed to accept that strange lights would and have appeared over the Santa Ritas going back as far as anyone could remember. One old man told me since he was a kid and far before we developed drones. Anyway, thought I'd share. I am back in LA now having mostly recovered, but I would think the lights haven't stopped and anyone wishing to watch them only needs to drive out past the town of Sahuarita 10 or 15 miles and you will see them too. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Conway, SC
Walking my dog...Difficult to calculate how many craft as I first saw 3 orange lights appear toward the east... Two on the right side of the night sky perpendicular to each other and one quite far off to the left. These lights appeared for about 5 seconds then all 'turned' off simultaneously until there was no light in the sky other than stars. The dog stopped and looked up to seem to see the lights as well. When that event was over I took dog in house and told family member. Went back outside to close my car windows and suddenly saw a series of blue flashing lights. These were toward the north and were a series of 5 or 6 rotating lights that also flashed as they rotated across the sky. I ran in to get two family members who also witnessed these lights. We watched until 3 or 4 of them disappeared but 3 more continued to rotate in the sky and appear to move off to the east... the we saw a fast moving plane head toward the lights and the blue/white lights quickly disappeared.... this event with the blue/white rotating lights lasted about 3-5 minutes. There was no noise with these events other than the airplane that eventually came into area

Cecil, PA
I saw what I thought it was a formation of military helicopters flying single file just past the National Cemetery of the Alleghenies - I would estimate the height to be 3 to 5 thousand feet. They looked to be bright orange lights which I thought strange. What was even stranger, as I was driving I noticed I was gaining on them. When I was almost underneath them I opened my sunroof to hear the rotors. I heard nothing and pulled to the side of the road to see what they were. I was stunned and when I finally had the sense to video them on my cell phone the formation had broken with the lead craft pulling to the side causing the formation to look like a right angle. The lead craft then shot straight up into the sky and disappeared. The next in line did the same. The last two headed towards each other and did what almost looked like a dance with quick and seemingly choreographed movement before they both disappeared from view. I have good video of this on my phone. Again they never made a sound. Still cannot believe what I saw.

6* craft flying in formation..for a second... then appeared to move slightly out of formation and veer to the left...and we're gone out of sight to the southwest direction. They were first noted directly overhead and gone immediately. Speed was definitely unbelievably fast. By the time I said..hey look...and my companion said OMG...they were gone

We were outside having a cigarette and I believe I was the first to point it out. In the sky it was pretty cloudy out and raining there were 4 bright lights moving in a circle. They would come out and in and then circle again.I tried recording and taking pictures, but they all look blank. I called my family to ask if they can see from 4 hours away where they are and they couldn't.

Between Clayton and Capulin, NM, NM
Saw what I thought were a flock of birds in the middle of the sky (not super high up). They were in a W-shape formation with 14 “birds”. I watched as they would flicker between being white and gray due to the sun (I thought) hitting their flapping wings. Then the flickering turned into a shimmering, like a disco ball spinning faster, then my eyes felt like they were seeing an optional illusion and it seemed like I was trying to see through a blind spot — then they were gone. Completely disappeared. Never reappeared, though I watched for the rest of the time we were driving through NM. A couple years later I was on the Mufon website, where I first reported it. I then also found a case under a “special cases” tab that described something extremely similar, in the same area, just a few months after my sighting. I have her story copied & pasted word for word as well. I really want to get this story out there — I don’t believe it was aliens, but rather, advanced tech that the government isn’t telling us we have or can do.

About 8pm, me and my wife saw what looked like rose-orange colored lights in sky over our apartment that moved in formation. It started as a perfect triangle of 3 then a 4th entered the formation and made an arrow like formation in the sky. The end light seemed to dim out and fade away. There was no sound and obviously there was intelligent formation of the lights that seemed to be just above us not too far into the horizon.

Stevens Point, WI
Was looking south from Patch St and Welsby Ave and saw a "line" of six lights running east to west. Then they turned (rotated) clock-wise and vanished. They re-appeared in the same position... then stopped rotation. Then off to the south-west a single light appeared and headed toward the group of six. The group of six lights began to rotate again in a clock-wise position. As they started to merge.... "POOF" both vanished and I never saw them again. Come and stand at Patch and Welsby and look straight down Welsby and a bit to your left..... that was where I saw what I did. Want to see the site??? Email ((e-address deleted))

I have recently experienced what I believe to be some sort of premonition of an alien visitation and I feel that I must report this to someone. I have known that I am psychic for a good number of years, but what I experienced recently has really given me cause for thought! I am by no means a crank, I have held high ranking management positions in previous employments and have also self published a book on my speciality subject. I am currently self employed as a teacher and consider myself to be a trusted, well liked and respected member of the community. My premonition came to me by way of a dream which I experienced on the night of the 16th November 2017, a dream so vivid that I can still remember it now, as though it had just happened! My home is quite close to a river, some 2 miles inland from the sea, I won't give any other detail for security reasons. I remember being stood next to the river and being amongst other people that were there, watching as the river lapped at the top of the river bank, slowly spilling over onto the walkway where I was standing. It was daytime. I heard someone comment that the river level shouldn't have been that high, and that there was no high tide expected. The weather was calm, yet here was the river quietly rising and bursting it's banks. I then heard the sound of a jet, and looking up I saw a Typhoon Eurofighter high in the sky. I know it was a Typhoon Eurofighter, (but again I will omit the information as to how I know for security purposes). But it wasn't moving, it was completely stationary, right above me. When I say it was stationary, I feel that I should elaborate. It wasn't flying through the sky is what I mean to say, it was moving, but it was just slowly spinning around on a central axis, as though held in mid air by some kind of forcefield! I couldn't see whether or not the jet was armed. It only stayed in my vision for a matter of a couple of seconds, and then it was suddenly propelled away in a south easterly direction so fast that it appeared to leave a trail of propulsion fire behind it as it went. When I say it was fast, I mean it was as fast as you would see a shooting star fly across the sky, blink and you would miss it! I don't think it was destroyed – I get the feeling that it was simply taken out of action. I then remember the sky beginning to turn dark, there were clouds in the sky, but everything just seemed to darken – as though there was a solar eclipse. Then the sky began to change colour, still in a darkened state, but different colours seemed to be hitting large areas of the sky from above. Greens, purples, yellows, oranges, pinks, all different shades and covering the whole darkened sky, it was as though the whole earth's atmosphere had been illuminated! I just looked up mesmerised by the colours and thinking how strangely beautiful it looked, and then I saw a formation of alien craft. They were to the north of my position and were flying from west to east in formation, travelling at much the same speed as you would see a jet normally flying at (maybe slightly faster). These craft were square in shape (seen from the side) as they flew across the sky, (just higher than the horizon) and they appeared to be around 5mm square as I looked at them and around 25 – 30 miles away (40 – 50km) from my position. I have since sketched a drawing of the formation that I saw and would describe it as being close to square shaped, but with the top left hand corner missing. My sketch shows nine craft on the top row, 10 craft on the row below and then five rows of 11 craft below the top two rows - (74 craft in total). All of the craft were flying at the same speed and in perfect formation. I got no inclination as to where they were going. What I did feel though, and what I still feel today, is that these aliens were here on a peaceful mission. They were not here to harm us whatsoever – quite the opposite in fact. I have (and still have) an intense feeling that they were here to rid the world of evil, it's as simple as that! It is now my true belief, that when this visitation takes place, the world will have all evil removed. All evil people and all weapons of mass destruction will be taken from the Earth. And when I say evil, I mean truly evil! Dictators guilty of horrific war crimes, their foot soldiers, murderers, child killers, people who simply cannot live peacefully. Weapons would include nuclear bombs, chemical weapons, guns, grenades etc. It is my belief that we have been watched for many years by these aliens and that they (wherever they are coming from) are unhappy with the way our Earth is currently being treated. They wish to assist the good people of the Earth by ridding it of all evil and allowing those left behind to live a life of peace and love for one another. We will be left in a world without wars, without famine, without greed – I'm sure you get the picture. I understand that you are security conscious, but I don't mind coming forward and telling people about my premonition. In fact I believe that I have been chosen to do just that, in order to pave the way for this coming visitation. To let people know that when it happens, that these beings are here to help the good people of the planet Earth, not here to destroy us, but to make the world a better place for us to live in. I don't know where the evil will be taken to, I just know that it will be banished – removed! I would be more than happy to sketch the view of the formation for you if you would like to see it and would love to hear of any similar stories being reported to you which are similar to mine. I'm not a fruit cake, I fully believe in what I have been shown and look forward to the day when the world is relieved of all evil – that day simply cannot come soon enough! To end I would say this, it doesn't surprise me that rich governments are worried about alien visitations – because they are fully aware that any defense that they might have in their collective arsenals, (including nuclear weapons) will be completely worthless against the advanced technology of the alien visitors! Thank-you for taking the trouble to read my report. Please remember that this report is of a premonition that I have experienced and not an actual eye witness report. Kindest regards.

Longmont, CO
Driving east on Nelson Road at 8:45 PM and saw 2 groups of round, white circles to the East. Some were the same size and some were smaller in sized in each group. There were 3 circles in the group to the north at first, then 1 circle would drop down, then re-appear again quickly. There were 4 circles at first in the southernmost group. The number also varied from 2 large circles and 2 small circles that would move, reappear, then disappear. The two large circles seemed to rotate around each other. The circles disappeared from the sky, one by one, until only the last large circle was left. It was difficult to track the movement of the circles. Sometimes I could see them move, other times they just seemed to appear, then disappear. The was no sound.

My friend and I were up on the tallest hill in Waupaca behind Kmart waiting to see the supermoon. The sun was just starting to set and we could see the first bright star had appeared. After a couple of minutes, my friend pointed out a formation of three bright pinkish, orangish lights. The lights did not appear to be evenly spaced from each other, but they were in a short line formation. The lights seemed very high in the sky and they were near the first star we spotted.

A set of 4 bright orange/white circular lights in a horizontal rectangle formation, appearing to be east of the Phoenix airport, from my southern facing viewpoint. The lights traveled eastbound at a fair speed, maintaining the rectangular formation, and then stopped abruptly. Then each light lined up up, fell directly down individually, one behind the next, in a zig-zag line with what appeared to be a comet tail shape trailing behind it.

San Jose, CA
Shortly after getting home, I saw something odd in the South-West (~230 deg) sky while taking the trash out. I’m a star gazer. So I can tell the difference between stars, planets, satellites and so forth. I saw what looked to be one of the closer planets, but the light was not right. It kind of looked like multiple lights clustered closely together. That is what caught my eye initially. While looking at that, I noticed 2 fainter lights (about as bright as a far away star) appeared to be moving relative to the bright light. Meaning the spacing between the 3 was varying. The 3 lights were slowly moving from the South-West sky to the North-West. All the while the 2 fainter lights kept changing their proximity to the bright light. At this point I went inside to grab my binoculars to get a better look. It was obvious their altitude was very high. I actually thought this might be the International Space Station, but the other 2 lights made that not likely, and they were moving to slow. While viewing the 3 lights thru the binoculars, one of the 2 fainter lights, started moving straight down at a much faster rate than they were moving across. I lost sight of it as it moved below the roof line of my house. The other 2 continued on their original path and I lost them in the clouds a minute later. Speaking of clouds, there was a scattering of clouds. The 2 remaining lights were at about 310 deg NW, when I lost them.
