Oviedo, FL
Normal night with friends, went to movies. Dropped off my friend at his house, then proceeded to go inside to hang out and talk for a little bit. Then after hearing his neighbors glass letting door open we look out of the window decedent his neighbor's in both houses to his sides, so that means two different houses and also multiple others in the street all looking into the sky to see all the houses in the street at one in the morning, covered in grows everywhere. That being weird enough, I decided it was time for me to get home and just go to sleep because I was a little bit freaked out. As I was driving home at around 1:30 AM, I felt somehow the need to just kind of look at the stars. When I looked up, I saw I do not know whether is a formation or a triangle, but it was three green dots in the triangle formation still above the area of where like a forest is. The triangle of green dots then went from a still position to going faster than I have ever seen anything move and then up and then gone. After that I sped home physically shaking, as I had goosebumps I was extremely scared the lights on the side of the street had turned off behind me by were my friends house was and I was in tears I was so shaken. I am now overwhelmed with the feeling of paranoia right now as I write this, I have taken sheets and covered my windows and locked my door and I'm really scared right now please someone just tell me what I should do

first off I'd like to say I'm a huge skeptic, always have a answer to anything that may seem weird or unreal, but tonight was different I got out my car after talking on the phone and I see 3 transparent green lights in the sky in a triangle formation these light were glowing and at first thought it was a plane untill it got closer as it got closer I realized these lights were not connected to any skeleton structure those likes of a plane or drone also these objects were moving at a great rate or speed and completely defying gravity with many many G forces as they suddenly did a flip going from 7,000 feet to about 15,000 feet and back down is a split second note they stayed in a triangle formation during this but switched positions after they did the flip they flew at lighting speed across the sky and made a sudden stop turned around back toward me and then shot off the other way and ultimately disappeared this all happened very quick also called NORAD right ! away and they said nothing human was around the area or man made Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

A bright, white formation (didn't really have an "exact" shape) was hovering in the West-ward sky when 2 jets side by side a appeared to be approaching it. I walked in to grab a camera, came out and all 3 were gone. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Bognor Regis (UK/England) · United Kingdom
I was outside the front door of my building, with my dog. The sky was clear and the stars were visible. I looked up and, I guess, to the south and saw three lights, larger than the visible stars. They were in a horizontal line. The middle of the three lights kept disappearing, as though it was hidden by the branches of the tree through which I could see the lights; however the branches were not moving as there was no wind. I kept changing position to make sure that the middle light was not being obscured by branches or clouds. I stayed outside, watching the lights, for about 10 minutes. The lights were still in formation, with the centre light disappearing and reappearing (intermittently, but not regularly), when I went back indoors.

Stamford, CT
Sightings started at 9pm EST. All crafts were moving in a south (from the direction of Long Island) to north direction. 1st craft was in a trapezium was moving at an intense speed. It almost appeared as a retreat from something. The 2nd craft appeared about 9:07pm EST and had 3 lights in the shape of a perfect triangle. This craft moved slower than the previous one, but still moving quickly. The 3rd craft appeared about 9:19pm EST. It was a single light moving extremely slowly. For some reason this one gave me a bad feeling. The 4th craft was moving at a moderately fast speed. It appeared to be 3 circular lights forming a triangle, but they were very close together. Are there any other witnesses??

Driving west on commercial Blvd near the turnpike saw 3 bright lights appear to be hovering or moving very slow. As I approached I used wires and tree like to indicate the movement as I was stopped. Proceeding forward the appeared overhead a couple thousand feet. Looking up they appears almost lie helicopters in a very tight formation. But I could tell that they moved together perfectly so helicopters are not like that. The was a lead light and one on each side but very close to each other moving very slow east. The lights didn't flash or blink at all

Multiple orangish points of light, turning on and off in a random pattern, but at times would make a formation. Looked like flares to begin with or a shooting star but then multiple showed up at one time. Moving northeast over the Atlantic.

Oakdale, MN
We were driving north on 694 through Oakdale, between 10th (County Road 10) and 34th (County Road 14). I was looking out the passenger window, to the northeast. It was raining lightly, and the clouds were very low. I saw one blue light shining in the sky; I assumed it was a low-flying airplane. I soon saw another two, slightly fainter, blue lights that formed a line in the shape of a slash: / The lower two lights were closer together, with the third at the "top." The lights appeared to be moving south at a very high speed; I watched the lights as they moved straight south past our vehicle, and tracked them to the south until they vanished from sight. From first seeing the lights until they disappeared, it was between 10 and 15 seconds. No one else in the vehicle noticed the lights, even though it had all the appearances of an extremely low-flying airplane.

Driving south on Monument road towards intersection with Fort caroline road, a half a mile away from same I saw 5 orange spherical lights in horizontal bow like formation flying away from me. I started recording, and I passed them by directly underneath the last 2 crafts, no sound was recorded being this lights as high as or lower than a helicopter, no blue and red blinking lights were seen or recorded by camera, I turned at the end of Monument and turned right on caroline road, entering to my left the front yard of a church Stoped but the lights dispersed and only one remained static, but I was unable to get a good angle, so took on Monument Ave. In the oposite direction going north, I captured 2 lights at the time moving, static, more coming behind in pairs up 3 or 4 more occasions, my engine blinking lights, passing by cars and even a woman's voice conversing with a male as well could be heard from the other side of the Monument road/blvd.. Though farther away while still recording, no sound was recorded of this objects, which moved slowly to finally slowly dimming its orange glow light to finally disapeared I've heard helicopters even athough a needle point view distance, have 16 segments of short videos lasting over 20 minutes. One more thing , a small blue light at the beginning trailing passing them by and later guiding them in the oposite direction as if reacting to my observations was only viewed in my review of the video, it was invisible to the naked eye.

Plainfield, CT
Having a bonfire, my friend first witnessed a bright flash of light in the sky, followed by what he could best describe as seeing a hole open up behind it. His dog barked at it, possibly reacting to my friends unease. I did not witness this, but about 10-20 minutes later four of us saw what at first looked like 4-5 planes flying very high in formation. When we got to a better vantage point we counted as many as 14 white single point strobe lights, in a V formation. No noise that we could hear, and they were either very high or in space. I felt they were moving extremely fast, given their distance from us. The center two lights appeared to cross each other's paths while they were moving. They were in our north eastern sky, appearing to be travelling south easterly. They disappeared into the distance and we went back to our fire. About 15-20 minutes after this, we saw the same, or a second formation come over again, travelling in the same direction. This time all the lights stayed fixed in their positions but were in the same shape and moving at the same rate of speed. We identified several planes all at different altitudes, arrivals and departures from the major airports and several cross Atlantic flights that all looked regular. There was a fair amount of normal air traffic, and someone else must have seen this.

I was sitting in my hot tub and noticed a chevron/bird like illumanted object moving across the sky. It was travelling at great speed and moved south to north in the clear evening sky with no sound. There were three sighting in total. The first consisted of 5 bird like illumanions almost ghost like in a triangular form. In the second viewing there were only 2 visible moving north to south across the stary sky. Then finally two of these ghostly bird boomerang shapes crossed again and then faded off towards the east.

Bensalem, PA
This evening, at around 9:10 p.m., when I left my house to pick up my son, I noticed a whole group of red lights moving in the sky. They were in a rough formation, following in a line from west to east. There were at least 12 dots of bright red light. They could have been planes, but I’ve never seen planes with only bright red lights. They looked like balls of fire, or embers, floating across the sky. I’ve never seen anything like it. I yelled for my wife to come outside. She was amazed by it. They were travelling way too slow to be meteors/shooting stars.

Ogden, UT
So at this time of year in Eden, it's still light outside, but the sun has gone under the mountains, so it's brightest around the rims of the mountains and fades darker as it gets further from the sun. Basically dusk. This type of lighting makes it very easy to see airplanes that typically fly over Ogden, because of the nearby SLC International Airport. I had just walked upstairs and sat on my bed, and I have a direct view of the mountains separating Ogden and Eden (Eden being where I was.) There was a plane flying right over the North Ogden Divide, so I looked up from my laptop for a second to look at it for a moment. It was then that I noticed a strange formation of lights to the right of the plane. There were 5 lights, each one about a half of the size of the plane. They were in a slightly curved formation. Three of them were in a straight line, and there were two slightly lower than the others on either side of the three. It was so large I feel like it spanned about a mile, because it hovered over an entire mountain peak. Each dot was completely unmoving. The color of each dot was indescribable, and I'd never seen the color before. At a glance it was white with a reddish hue, but then it was also blue or purple if you looked again. It was as if it was all of those colors at once. Within a minute of me spotting it, it started disappearing one light by one, before it was gone completely. I'm not sure if it was a single craft or 5, because it was only seen as multiple lights. It was very bold and I noticed it the moment I looked up. It was just so bright and bold that I was surprised I wasn’t getting fearful texts from my friends and news stories breaking out everywhere.

Oconomowoc, WI
The object(s) flew in a formation pattern that undulated much like silver moonfish in the ocean. One side was white, then the formation would undulate in a new direction and the other side of the object(s) would appear silver. One broke formation briefly. There were around 10 in total. Sky was clear blue, no clouds. As soon as we pulled out our phone to take a picture it simply disappeared, it did not descend nor ascend; it vanished.

Ran inside called a daughter to come out, she said grab your phone to get a picture, I ran back in called 3 daughters to come out. Went outside, my kids were scared. I then called my two neighbors outside. This whole time there is no movement of these lights.. Then one by one they moved slightly, then separated and each one disappeared before reappearing more up in the sky. They each went over my neighborhood and continued for at least 20 minutes. I got binoculars and could see an oval shape with one red and one green light on each side. Very bright light was still stronger than the colored ones. I watched them hover for over 20 minutes.. Some went to the northeast and the others to the south east. Can't make any sense of it. Kinda freaking out .. I just! looked out again and I can still see 5.. 4 are circling and one to the south east is back to the very white ball not moving at all Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Sunday, 04/03/2016, approximately 10:20PM: I opened the back door to let my dog out, and was greeted by an incredible sight. Three bright lights in a diagonal formation on the horizon in the southeast sky toward O'Hare...hovering for at least 10 minutes and pulsing brilliant white, the middle one brighter than the other two. No unusual sounds. Planes from O'Hare passing both above and below the objects, and the lights from the planes much smaller (1/8th the size) of the white orbs. My wife got a digital camera shot of all 3; by zooming in you can see them clearly between the power lines with the water tower light for contrast. We also have video of all 3 lights with planes in the sky as well. At approximately 10:30PM, all three lights floated (best word possible) to the southwest and disappeared; the middle light, which was the largest and brightest, was the last to go. With all due respect to healthy skepticism, I am both elated & mystified. Both my wife and I are police officers.

Wickieup, AZ
Driving north on hwy 93 just north of Wikieup, I saw this group of bright objects high in the sky. I thought it a flock of white birds but no birds fly that high. The objects would get brighter and then fade and completely disappear then reappear as white or silver objects in no particular formation, just an odd shaped cluster. This would happen over and over again until I could no longer see them as we drove further north

While flying kites at Tecolote Shores park, I happened to notice a fleet of 20-30 UFOs in the sky that appeared very similar to images and video of UFO fleets over Mexico City. These craft seemed very high altitude since planes passed near them and were obviously well underneath the UFO swarm. The UFO fleet appeared to be made of craft that were somewhat round and seemed to either reflect white light or create their own white light. Individually, they appeared like points of white light in the clear, bright-blue, early-afternoon, southern California sky. Also, some of crafts appeared to be larger and brighter than others. One of the larger craft was observed emitting a smaller/dimmer craft. Some of the smaller/dimmer craft were in tight formations and created geometric patterns like the three corners of triangles or triangles with an exact center light. Over about 30 minutes the fleet drifted from the eastern sky towards the West. The fleet expanded and some ! witness claimed they saw some of them suddenly disappear. A few people tried to get video or photographs, but the kites in the sky and overall sunny early afternoon conditions would not allow our phone cameras to zoom in enough or focus on the formation.
