Carbondale, PA
Former military witness was sitting outside on his second floor deck, drinking coffee and smoking, He looked up at the stars shining brightly on this clear dark night, and saw a white illuminated craft flying at altitude 75-80 thousand ft. In the USMC, MOS 7051 Crash, Fire and Rescue he had witnessed thousands of flights by hundreds of various helos and aircraft, P-3 Orion (Sub Finder), F-22 Raptors, C-5s, C-130s, F-15s, Apaches, CH-53, etc.. Witnessing an "illuminated" white craft flying at such high altitude was Not Normal! Going inside the house to get his wife, not taking more than two minutes (informing wife that their eyes needed to adjust from the house light due to how dark it was that night), he looked directly across from their place where there is a 7 story HUD building for elders and observed a huge, silent, black craft with 8-10 assumed thrusters? emitting no exhaust backwash, smoke, heat or illumination hovering not much higher than! that 7 story building, but further out. He asked his wife, "do you see that"? She replied "yes, what is it"? Was it hovering at angle? He assumed due to no experience as to what this craft was. Why was it quiet? It's far bigger diagonally? He had never experienced anything like this before!. Air Force C-5 Globe Master Cargo (America's largest aircraft!)? It began to accelerate forward and quickly, although no sound, no after burners, no exhaust, no smell of fuel burning! The craft thrusters appeared cloudy, without being high up! He told his wife, "I don't know and haven't any ideas, though I am going to film this"! Hi camera wouldn't allow him to use settings! Very odd, when the "craft" left, the device settings allowed zooming and flash options though not while craft was leaving them! "I was and am in awe of this very interesting experience"!! (MUFON CMS)

Yardley, PA
My adult-aged daughter and I were driving on I-295 North toward Yardley, PA, and shortly after passing the Scotch Road exit #65A, we started to see a really bright light in the sky ahead of us. It caught our attention because the light was low, really bright and large, as if it were the moon; however, it was too low, too bright, too cloudy and late to be the moon. Also, it was staying fixated in one spot—it didn’t seem to move or change in size as we got closer to it. It was also NOT an airplane because it was approaching from the opposite direction of planes seen landing in this area at Trenton-Mercer Airport. I was able to get two images as I was driving and you are able to see an incoming airplane to the left of this other object--the airplane lights are super small in comparison to the unidentified light—and the lights of the airplane were getting bigger and clearer as we drove closer, unlike the other bright light. As we crossed over the Scudder Falls Bridge, the lights were to the left of us and we saw the object. It was hovering about 10-20 feet over the tree line directly over the bank of the Delaware River in Yardley, PA. It first reminded me of a drone about the size of a house but as we got closer, we saw that it was a solid silver colored pentagon shape. There was a small red line on one side and a small orange light on the other and then there were 3 or 4 super bright white lights under the object. It looked like a door was open on the side and white lights were lighting the inside. I saw steps coming down, but my daughter did not. She saw remembers something sticking up and out of the back end that looked like tail wing. We got off at the next exit and turned around to see it, but it was gone.

Denver, CO
May 24, 2019, Appox. 12:30pm 1 Mile west of downtown Denver, Colorado, (32nd Ave & King Street) Today, May 24, 2019, about a mile due west of Denver Colorado. It is a day with almost no clouds and bright sunshine. I was standing outside talking with my neighbors when I noticed 6 objects to the NNE. The objects were at a 50-60 degree angle from my location. These objects were simply just there. From my location they had the appearance of an object between a baseball and a golf ball. Planes were passing over headed to the local airport, Denver International Airport that fly at approx. 12,000’, less than a mile above the ground, as they have just passed over 12-14,000’ foot mountains and begin decent for landing. A private plane passed over at no more than 2000’ feet above so my guess is they were 3-4000’ above the ground. My first thought is that these were balloons that had been released, as today is the last day of school. The objects would have been too large to be balloons and they stayed in the same relative altitude. Next, I thought they might be birds as they were constantly changing formations. The idea being they were trying to gain altitude. They moved from V to diamond to non-formation and back in a constant shifting of their position relative to each other. This was not birds or balloons. First, their size would have been too big for a bird and while I thought I saw a wing, given the size of a bird and distance it was away a wing would not be possible to see. Even White Trumpeter Swans would be smaller, they are exceedingly rare in this part of the US and don’t fly in the manner that I witnessed. They also reflected light of a white translucent color with a hint of rainbow sheen leaning heavier towards the red spectrum. Birds don’t reflect light, which is why my mind first turned to balloons, but again the size was too large. They had to be rather large in size . They appeared to be flying in an erratic behavior at first glance, much like balloons, but it soon became apparent these were flying in a controlled manner and altering between multiple formations. I was with two neighbors who took no interest, and I’m not sure if they could see them. I was wearing sunglasses and when I removed my glasses, I was unable to see the objects. They were not wearing any sunglasses (and chuckled at my reference to the objects being extraordinary). My I-Phone was unable to pick up anything either. The objects were clearly reflecting light which changed as they moved, giving the impression they were possibly spinning. The reflecting was not bright enough to overcome the sun’s glare without sunglasses. This went on for about 10 minutes. I turned my eyes away for a moment and when looked back they were simply gone. I waited about 30-45 minutes to gather my thoughts and then began this reporting process.

Murphy, ID
Sturgeon fishing around 2AM downriver from Swan Falls Dam/Power Plant. It had been raining and was still partly cloudy. So visibility was not excellent. We noticed what we first believed was meteor debris. However the light from it did not fade, fall, or separate the way meteors I have seen normally do. The object appeared to be at high altitude and was a long oval tube shape without clearly defined edges. We realized it was quite unusual when we noticed what at first glance seemed to be stars shining through actually were at least 5 bright white lights along the side of the proposed craft. They were equal in size, shape, separation, color, and placement along the visible side much like the windows of a train or bus. The whole object had somewhat of an undulating white color which we both agreed reminded us of translucent deep sea creatures. While it was in view it was travelling North at a very normal pace. We were able to see it move from clear sky, then behind a small cloud and back into clear sky and then disappearing completely behind thick cloud cover. As we stood discussing what we had just seen the clouds past and it was gone and there were no stars even remotely in alignment to what we believed to have been lights. There was no noise, colors besides white, shape changing, separation, or any other defining things about it. Airliners consistently flew overhead during the night which we were able to easily identify and hear. I cannot judge the altitude other than above the clouds. It appeared to be many times larger than the airliners that passed during the night but the fact that we could not judge the altitude I cannot say much about the size for certain. We could not think of any rational explanation and were left dumbfounded and a little unsettled. And we didn't catch a sturgeon. SpaceLink satellites?? PD

Pine Valley, UT
My son and I were taking pictures of the milky way in Pine valley. We had setup my camera on a tripod facing east and set it with a remote to take pictures while we waited in the car. As we waited I happened to glance up at the sky and noticed a line of orbs moving from west to east across the sky. There were at least 30 small balls of light maybe more all in a perfect line and moving in the same direction. There was a large group in the front and then a space with about 4 or 5 more behind them in the sky. In all the time I have been taking photographs at night, I have never seen anything like this. I am beyond bummed that I did not get a picture of it as my camera was pointing in the opposite direction. Space X satellites, being released from the Falcon 9 capsule. PD

Coeur d'Alene, ID
As I commonly do when I arrive home when sky is clear, I looked up to see the stars. As I scanned the sky, I saw a very long straight line of what appeared to be randomly connected lights. Whatever this was wa incredibly long. It seemed to be high in the sky, but I have no way to know its altitude. I actually thought it could have been a mile or more in length. But, if it was lower than it seemed, it would still have to be a few hundred feet in length. It moved what seemed to be slowly, but I really have no idea since this would depend on how high or low it actually was. It was almost above me when I first saw it and I watched it continue in the same direction in what seemed to be a straight path. I watched until it disappeared. If it was 1 light, I would have assumed it was a satellite. Unfortunately, I did not CV count the lights, but I estimate around 10 lights randomly spaced. I have seen 2 other very unusual things in the night sky over the years, but this was by far the most unusual.

Approximately 22:32 in Orlando, FL, we saw a bright orange ball in the sky towards the east. It had an orange tail and started off low in the sky. It made a sharp turn up and then the tail shortened and it turned blue. Then it just disappeared.

One amber light turned into three dots in the sky and then disappeared, reappeared and formed into a line of four dots, moved extremely fast in the sky to the left and then disappeared, than reappeared for a quick second and disappeared for good

Stow, OH
I work the midnight shift, and I happen to look up into the sky (facing north) just below the handle of the big dipper (ursa major) I saw what looked like a comet. It was a big bright white light as bright as the moon was last night. Then in an instant it went from one to four balls of light falling kind of in a check mark shape, and as quickly as it appeared, it was gone. I've tried to search and even posted to social media to see if anyone else saw this, of course most people I know are in bed at that time. I wish it would have lasted long enough to get capture footage. It was beautiful what ever it was.

the object looked similar to a large plane,but it looked as though it had two cigar shaped bodies the length of the object. it moved at a slow rate of speed traveling north to south and then almost straight up and faded away.

Nottingham (UK/England) · United Kingdom
Time is approximate and is GMT. It was night time and the sky was dark. I was travelling in a car with 2 others, my friend (the driver) and my partner who was in the back seat. I was in the front passenger seat (left seat in English car, and also driving on left side of the motorway). We had been to see Nightwish at the Birmingham Arena, so the date is accurate. The time is approximate. We were driving home north from Birmingham up the M1. The location would have been close to the west of Leicester or Nottingham. I could see a city to the east of the road, but uncertain which one it was. They're not that far apart anyway. I saw a red light in the sky fairly low down, but above tree height. Height is difficult to guess as we were moving. It looked like a large star. I thought it unusual, but I initially thought maybe it was Mars. It began pulating and appeared to grow larger. A broad red beam emerged downwards from the pulating light. The beam had well defined edges, but the strange thing was that the beam did not fade out at the bottom, but had a well-defined flat bottom edge. Just then we passed a row of trees on the left side of the road blocking my view of it. When the car had passed the row of trees the light and beam had gone. I did not tell either of the others what I’d seen at the time, although I told my partner later on. He had not seen it . Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Was at work & went to pull the flag down. I looked up and saw this object. It was not making a noise and stayed still. I snapped a couple pictures and am not a %100 what it was. I have these pictures if someone could clear them up they maybe able to tell what it is. I got a weird feeling while looking at it like "is this for real"! Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

New Orleans, LA
On the evening of Monday, May 13, 2019, in New Orleans, LA, I was facing south/southeast, watching what appeared to be a satellite or the space station transit the sky, east to west, passing almost across the face of the moon (a solid point of light, not blinking, traveling much faster than an airplane, I have witnessed these events many times before) when it made an abrupt turn down and to the right, then back on its original track, before making an equally abrupt turn up and then off on a track perpendicular to the original path. I’ve been watching the night sky since 1987 and have never seen anything like this prior to last night .

Garrett, IN
Witness was having coffee out front of house with another lady, both witnesses facing north. Spotted something to their left in the sky which looked like it had windows and was shining, moving slowly. It looked like it was rotating, was going straight, no noise, no wings. When it got more in front of them it was either glowing from sunshine or flame. Witness said it must have been as big as a grayhound bus, had seen objects before but never this close.
