Thorp (7 miles north of), WI
Object was 2-300 feet suspended above the road. The location was Shiner Drive & HWY 73. It was dark out. One end of the object was flat shaped with 2 red pulsating lights on each corner that would alternate. The opposite end had 1 dim headlight. It seemed to be the size of a semi-truck but I could not make out the shape because I was driving South on HWY 73 and it was pitch black out. At first I thought it looked like it could be a cell tower but the nearest tower is 7 miles away. I looked back when I got 1 mile down the road and it was still suspended in that same location.

Harwich, MA
An odd cloud formation was discovered in two photos taken during a nature walk. It appears to be a small, solitary vortex created by an aircraft or other object traveling at high speed. It was a cloudless winter morning, and I don’t recall hearing any aircraft, when I photographed some backlit phragmites against a background of blue sky. Upon later review of my photos, I noted the small bright vortex cloud in IMG_3842. I created a cropped version of this image to get a closer look at it. IMG_3843, taken a second or two later, also shows the same vortex cloud contours, but faintly. I am not suggesting a UFO caused this odd cloud, but would like to know if any similar images have been reported to NUFORC. I had never before seen anything like this.

Georgetown, MA
I was 1 mile south of exit 53B on I-95 south. I saw a green light about 100 feet high, to my left, out at least a few hundred yards, traveling south also. It was moving at least twice as fast as me and I was going 75mph. I saw it for a total of about 5 second and it disappeared once it was a about 200 feet past me. It flew straight, not up or down at all and I couldn't hear it at all. I couldn't see any shapes. Possibly a meteor I assume but I honestly have no idea.

Glenpool, OK
Heard very strange noises similar to a frog but much louder and higher pitched across the street and a few houses away. It got closer very quickly, faster than someone could run. It sounded like more than 1 and was in my backyard all of a sudden. My cat started freaking out so I knew something was outside. I felt like I was being watched and I'm not one to get spooked. There is no possible way to get into my backyard. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Smyrna Beach, FL
Time not given, but prior to sunset at 5:47 PM. Witness was on his front porch smoking a cigarette, waiting for his daughter to return from a walk. As he bent his head down to light up and then looked up he saw the moon, and there it was, not a star, but it was an object coming down very very slowly. He dropped his cigarette on the ground, rushed into the house to grab his cell phone sitting on a little table by our front door, then rushed outside and started filming. It was not lit up by light's in any way. It shinned like when the sunlight reflected off foil, (probably reflecting sunlight) It would come down, then stop in the sky, come down more, then stop. (Pendulum motion?) It did this like four or five times, then came down very quickly and disappeared heading towards the lighthouse and ocean. He lost sight of it after it came down behind some tree's. (MUFON CMS, 97785, UI)

I checked Heavens Above mobile app and it shows ISS sighting at that time from NW to SW but that should have been only one light. So what was the second (dim) light in the front of bigger light? Can u please advise. Thanks ... FYI the distance between the two lights was constant and was nearly the same amount if distance that I saw between Venus and Jupiter in the SE sky an hour before the above sighting. Also to inform you, I regularly keep track of stars and sattelites and use the above mobile app to help me in the sightings. I look forward to to hearing from you. Many thanks.

Port Townsend, WA
January 13, 2019. This morning I woke about 5:00 AM. I looked out the windows and was startled to see a long, horizontal line of lights. The lights were equally spaced. I had never seen anything like that before, and sat up to get a better look. I watched the lights fo 5-6 minutes, then I turned over, and when I turned back the lights were receding into the distance staying in a straight line.

As it approached the horizon, it began to flash slowly but regularly and eventually disappeared over the horizon.

Maricopa, AZ
Late in the evening, my wife and I were driving south on AZ State Route 347 (between Chandler and Maricopa) when I spotted two bright orange lights to the southwest. This stretch of freeway is sparsely populated and pretty dark at night, so they shone incredibly brightly. They also seemed to be not more than a couple hundred feet or so above the horizon, so initially I thought maybe it could have been lights from a tower of some kind, but I've never noticed them before in all my time driving that stretch of road. I asked my wife if she saw them; to which she commented that she thought it was strange that they were so orange. I then asked her to Google if there were any kind of air fields or radio towers in that area. Her quick search determined there shouldn't be anything in that direction. She went back to looking at her phone, but even though I was driving, my eyes were fixated on them. If you drew a straight line between them, they would seem to be perfec! tly parallel to the ground, and they didn't move at all, at least they didn't seem to from my perspective. They didn't blink, they didn't pulse, they didn't move, they were just there, and bright. It was like they were staring at me. I just stared right back at them for several minutes while I drove. Then, seemingly for no reason, the one on the left faded away, and almost immediately after, the light on the right also faded. They didn't blink out, they didn't disappear behind something, more like a dimmer switch, they faded and were gone.

I was taking my dog outside earlier, when I saw around 5-6 lights in a horizontal line, the object looked like it would be a stereotypical ufo. I didn't have my glasses on so I couldn't see it well, but the object appeared to be in an audible distance from where I was, yet there was no sound from it. The craft was rather large, I would probably say around the size of a house. The craft moved in a fixed speed moving slowly right to left. When I ran I side to get my glasses, which probably took around 20-30 seconds, and returned the the object was gone. Afterwards I noticed that my wifi connection wasn't working properly. I've seen another UFO before, that was similar to this, but I was in s different state st that time. I didn't have my phone on me when I took my dog out, so i wasn't able to get a picture or video.

I was walking my dog just before 3am this morning in Prestwick (McKenzie Towne) when I heard this buzzing humming sound. Similar to a helicopter, but more like a drone, only bigger. It had no lights either. I heard it approaching and it was more like a drone at this point with higher pitched humming like a drone. I was convinced it was a heli until it approached where I was walking, and I saw the shape, only a couple hundred feet above me, and it did a 3/4 circle around my head, then took off toward Deerfoot. Almost in the same direction it came. It was fast. Probably the size of a smart car, and again...no lights what so ever.

Queen Creek, AZ
I was flying my paramotor, and my iPhone was strapped to my right leg. Sometimes I video my "wing" witch is another name for my parachute, to make sure all is well above me...lins aren't tangled, chute is fully deployed, etc. I noticed a light above my wing. Looks like it way higher than me, but it's didn't seem to move. I went out next day to check for a star at the same time and it was not visible. I have video of it and another person sent me a pic from their windshield from way east of my location showing the same light and 2 others adjacent to it in the sky directly near my location. It was interesting to say the least to see just the one light, but when I received a pic from a friend driving towards me who saw that light plus two that I couldn't see, I was intrigued. Could be weather balloons, but why 3 of them? I was at around 1200ft in the air when I took the video looking straight up above me. No contrails, though the jets were leaving con! trails that day..

Casa Grande, AZ
My home is in the last 2 streets in the neighborhood on the edge of the desert. Took dog outside at 2:45am. Noticed a soft yellow light illuminating the rooftops to the west. My neighbors illuminated roof had a odd pattern of a sharp half circle of darkness. Witnessed the light travel south slowly off the roofs. It was then I realized the light was from behind me at a 60-degree angle up in the sky. Turned around, looking for light source and something large and black silently zipped off Into the darkness. Entire episode happened in silence.

Between around 1:20-1:40 am, me and a friend were on FaceTime and he noticed a deep VERY loud and deep engine like noise coming from outside. Mind you that we love basically 2 neighborhoods/8 Streets away from each other and we both heard the noise VERY clearly and we both look outside And nothing is there but a purple sky.

My family and I observed 2 separate formations of red-orange "aircraft" flying what appeared to be east-northeast tract. The formations exhibited a continuous red-orange color. I'm former military and civilian and military aircraft typically have flashing lights while flying at night. The first formation were 3 craft that traveled the same east-northeast tract for approximately 5 minutes at different speeds before disappearing in the clouds. The second formation were also 3 craft flying the same tract at different speeds and also disappeared in the clouds. All 6 craft did not produce any noise. We originally thought the craft were drones; however, drones can not travel that distance without losing signal. These lights were not fireworks as firework lights do not travel that distance and then gain additional altitude after their report.

Eight red/orange lights moving generally south to northerly direction. 2 stacked lead and the rest separated by a good distance from one another. They moved slowly north. My family saw them as well as my neighbor.

Was not visible to the naked eye only after reviewing our photos we had noticed the strange object following us for three minutes. We could not understand what was the strange object it looked like a body of a whale but very confusing to describe.

My family and I just wittnesed about 50 or more objects flying thru the air. They were very unusual due to the fact that 1 would multiply into several. Just wondering if anyone else witnessed this.

Middletown, CT
On 22 December 2018 at approximately 2200hrs, I was taking my dog out for the final time of the night. The moon was extremely bright and clouds were patchy. As I looked up at the moon, I noticed a large number of solid lights traveling from a southeastern to northwestern direction. All lights were equidistant and in the same formation. I couldn't guess the altitude...much higher than commercial flights. There were several normal aircraft in the area. I watched about 25-30 of these lights fly over, I tried to record them with my phone, but thanks to the bright moon, didn't get anything. I went inside and told my wife to come outside and look. She was baffled, especially at the speed they were traveling. Much to fast to be a commercial flight, and too many on the same flight path. I tried looking on the airplane tracker sites to see what was in the air at the time, and nothing out of the norm. Definitely not what we witnessed.

Ontem de madrugada, 03:48 pra ser preciso. Acordei com uma sensação de está sendo observado ao olhar pela janela vir um objeto reluzente, fiquei sem saber o que era aquilo é acordei minha irmã e meu primo, claro que falaram que eu estava sonhado. Então peguei meu celular e filmei alguns segundos, fiquei com muito medo e parei o vídeo e derrepente se móvel rapidamente sem barulho algum. Outra vez acordei com essa mesma sensação de está sendo observado, mas não olhei pela janela, olhei meu celular ia dar 04:00, então pensei por que nesse período de tempo? Será que tem um local específico. Desculpa não relata muita coisa, eu simplesmente me encantei com o que vir, 12/20/2018 às 03:48 vai fica na memória.

There were three outside my work when I came out for a break. I heard a loud noise which turned out to be a Helicopter (possibly a military helicopter) chasing 2 little red lights about 1,000 ft in the air or less one in front of the so fast that the helicopter seem to have a hard time following. the red lights were traveling at a very high speed (to me they seemed to be going to fast to be drones). As they passed almost directly over our heads, one of the red lights sped up passing the other one and leaving the helicopter way behind. They were traveling north through orange county towards Los Angeles. I watched until they out of my sight.
