Atlantic Beach, NC
We were outside talking and saw a light. I asked my friend what it was then two appeared. They would blink on then wait several minutes blink off. They then leap frogged over each other. Then all of a sudden several appeared in succession out of the blue. Then moved like a caterpillar in the sky. Blinked on and off moved back into two visible then zipped off. We walked across the street to the beach and ran into a group of people who had seen the same thing. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Moore, TX
3 lights strobe at different times. 1, 2, 3 this took place for multiple sequences of strobes. Finally the lower light moved away from the other two which both continued to strobe for 3 more times and went out. The other light continued to strobe as it accelerated and slowed, and accelerated multiple times in a southern direction. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Dollar Bay, MI
Drove towards the bright white/green lights. They seemed to be jumping around. They were brighter in some spots and dimmer in others. We tried to take pictures but it would NOT show up on camera or video. We thought it was the northern lights but they are not like any we have seen before. It was almost like a portal looking thing!! Like, if you went out into the woods it would get brighter and find the cause. We didnt. The entire county has been notified and I am sure that more than 5 people have seen it!

South Marquette County, MI
On a clear cloudless evening noticed a perfect triangle formation to the south south east just above the horizon. We did not notice this just minutes before. Formation was made of 3 white or yellow lights which appeared to be bright stars. After only noticing this for about a minute, the formation quickly vanished without apparent movement.

Three blue green lights in a line above Thunder Mountain moving left to right. At first I thought it might be an plane but they stopped moving, reversed direction (right to left), increased elevation in a straight line then descended at an angle from right to left moving towards to the glacier until my view was blocked by trees.

Mosca, CO
We have looked at the photographs, and the object in question appears to us probably to be the wingbeats of a flying insect, flying in a straight line. We do not believe the object is an alien spacecraft. PD

Walnut Creek (area off I-680), CA
Driving towards San Jose area this morning and noticed small bright lit craft hovering in distance, area was hilly, didn't notice two other craft just like it until hill went downwards, they were all stationary, lower one moved towards upper within a second, then a larger hill obstructed total view, son was able to snap a quick picture of the three, but the picture doesn't do it justice

fishing on the beach, turn around for a minute (looking west) and 5 solid dim cream colored lights in the shape of a "V" are flying north. It was definitely moving pretty fast, disappeared as it continued flying (lights got more dim than they already were), no noises after the fact, no blinking lights

Small Point, ME
One red light like a fireball appeared out of nowhere. It kept getting bigger and moved rapidly around a small area in a triangle shaped pattern. Out of nowhere, 5 smaller red orbs shot out (one by one) around the bigger red fireball. They all moved around staying in the same pattern, then after that 3 of them shot over the town of Portland and dropped to the ground at lightning speed. The other 3 (big fireball and other two smaller ones) disappeared. Then the three that shot down to Portland slowly came back up into the sky and vanished into thin air. That big red fireball turned into a silver light that slowly crept across the sky until it disappeared over the tree-lines. I have photographic proof of the red fireballs and silver light.

Northfield, NH
Three orange circular shaped craft in a triangle formation. Craft formation was observed through binoculars. One by one, crafts faded out after a period of roughly 20-30 minutes. This same formation was observed the evening of the 14th as well.

Northglenn, CO
August 15th, 2016, I was outside on the balcony of my apartment in Northglenn, CO between the hours of 10:00 pm and midnight. I looked up and saw about 8 or 9 relatively small crafts arranged in a V formation fly just overhead moving from north to south. At first glance, I thought it was a flock of geese, but these definitely weren’t birds. Only about 10 seconds had passed between the time they appeared and the time they were out of sight, so I didn’t get a long enough look to be able to specifically identify the crafts’ shape. They were something between spherical and cubic, but what caught my attention and ultimately disqualified my first interpretation of it being a flock of geese was the lack of wings. There were definitely no wings on any of the crafts, nor did I notice any “flapping” movements. They flew together in perfect unison while maintaining the V formation, almost as if they were connected in the air. Their movements were swift and completely silent. Geese make enough noise when they fly that most people can tell when their approaching even before they’re in sight. These crafts flew by without even slightly disrupting the air.

Foster, WV
My wife and I were standing outdoors, and looked up to see five white dots, stationary in a circle, at an apparently very great height. As we watched, they circled, and one by one, took off to the southwest at a very great rate of speed. The whole thing lasted less than a minute. I happened to have cheap pair of binoculars, but these things were so high, I could see no detail. I'm a commercial pilot and a lifelong aviation buff, and I can attest that these were some type of aircraft, at an extreme height, and moving at an incredible speed. The weather was severe clear and blue skies.

Bourbonnais, IL
Saw 10-12 yellow /orange globes traveling from north to south, horizontally in eastern sky. No sound. Seemed to be going slow, but disappeared quickly when in the southern atmosphere. Very different than anything I've ever seen in my years. High altitude. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

fleet of slow moving, flashing, soft white lights. The light in the front was a huge circular lighted craft. The 4 small crafts behind were zig-zagging. Then they disappeared.

I was in my garden in the afternoon of August 11, 2016, spraying some of the plants. The time was approximately 5:45 EDT. I was also looking for a good place for a chair, so I could sit and watch the meteor shower later that night. I looked toward the sky to find the most open spot in the trees. I noticed the objects in the eastern sky in about the 2 o'clock position. There were five round, bright lights. Two in the front and three in the rear. The three in the rear were in formation. I turned on my phone and opened the camera app and began to record video. The sun was bright and I had trouble seeing the screen, so I was just guessing where to point in the beginning. Then I was able to get in a position to see the phone's screen. I recorded video for about two minutes. The two in front were moving north and then stopped for a few seconds. Then one moved quickly of view and then the other did as well. The three in formation began moving toward the north. The lights began to fade and I stopped recording. I noticed after I stopped the video, there was a dark object where one of the forward lights had been. The object appeared to have a shadowy aura. It then moved north out of view. I estimate the length of time from when I first saw the objects until they were no longer in view to be about 2 ½ minutes.
