Bridgeport, CT
Two clear/white circular lights parallel and on a downward angle. Appeared to resemble a plane flying down, nearing landing into an airport. The two lights then separated into opposite directions at the same time and vanished. Was seen from inside a car. This could not have been a reflection because it was not opaque and at the angle it was at in the sky in regards to reflections from the car windows, it could not have been that, unless it was coming from the floor of the car (Which obviously we would have all seen because it was bright.) There were 4 people in the car including myself, but one was asleep, the other couldn't see out my window in time, and the driver obviously kept eyes on the road. Very Strange.

Branksome, POOLE · United Kingdom
Was in my garden smoking and saw a light that seemed to sparkle and omit light variances whilst moving slowly across the sky, different to a plane and moving in a non-linear route, speed and direction of travel altered a few times as it moved, couple times sped up or seemed jump from one place to another and then went backwards direction, so I took video with my phone so I could zoom in afterwards on the image. Can see the shape, colours, radiance from the video attached. Note direction of the item seen was SE/ESE from my location. Didn’t report till now as didn’t know how to, had googled ways to report/question potential sightings but of course search results returned are just a flood of nonsense websites, just heard of this organisation so decided to report. I had a second similar sighting 7 months later, 01Aug2015 at 10:39pm BST from same location and object seen in same direction. Second sighting also videoed and attached, (video is 44 seconds) but the object was quite different to the prior Dec sighting in shape, colours, movement was faster and pretty erratic, appears to split into 2 parts a few times, all shown in the video when zoomed in. Neither time were there any sounds. Also attached screenshot of the info from 1 video (they’re the same) showing info of iPhone camera quality used if that helps (1080p)

Warren, PA
Large dome-shaped, metallic object. Half of it appeared to be in some kind of weird flux, with odd angles. I was driving and my girlfriend in the passenger seat. We were at about the same altitude on the other side of the valley, so it seemed that we were witnessing the side of the craft. It was hovering above the hill on the opposite side of the river valley. We were driving on route 69 heading east into Warren, PA. We only saw it for about 15 seconds and it was at dusk so there was room for error, but we are both confident of what we saw to this day. Really weird side note, we both had this strange feeling about 5 seconds before we actually saw it. It was felt like fear, but good. Like excitement but deeper and extremely brief. She will tell you the same thing. So I know that sounds bonkers, but that's the experience we had. The craziest thing about this event is that it wasn't the first UFO sighting I have had. Another one happened about 2 years prior in the SAME LOCATION. Me, my brother and two of our friends all in the same car. We witnessed a large black Triangular craft in the exact same location! We were driving North, and when we came around the last bend where the city limits are- we witnessed a large triangular black object, with 3 white lights in each corner, hovering directly above the road we were on, seemingly waiting for us because it was motionless until it was directly on our field of view through the front windshield. It then started to match the speed of the car (while rotating slowly) This lasted about two minutes, we never slowed down and it always stayed in our view like it wanted to be seen. We continued to drive north on Conewango ave watching in awe the entire time, before it suddenly shot off in northern direction at an incredible speed. No sound at all. I will be filing that report along with this one, I wonder if you have any database for multiple events in the same location. So with these two events the number of witnesses including myself is a total of 5, and we still talk about these events to this day. So glad I wasn't alone for either of these because I would probably have doubted myself!!! Any of these people will eagerly testify to these two events the way I just told them.

Hogansville, GA
Approximately between 6:00 and 7:00 pm, I was walking from my car to my front door and noticed a very bright white headlight of an aircraft in the cloudless night sky coming in my direction from north to south crossing an area of the property that I have never seen planes or helicopters fly before. It wasn't as high an elevation as jets use but was that of possibly a low flying smaller aircraft. I stood thinking it was a helicopter coming from Atlanta to LaGrange but was not sure so I decided to stop and watch it fly over. I waited but with the sensation that it was approaching I soon realized it was either moving very slow or not moving at all. I was just about to tell my husband to come out side when the light or power was turned off on the aircraft and the sky was black. Within a few seconds two horizontal stacked rows of 5-9 red lights appeared in a straight line at the location where I had originally seen the bright light in the sky. The red lights went ! off and within a few seconds of nothing but black, the lights reappeared in the same formation but appeared to be blue in color. These went black also within seconds and the red lights reappeared. These lights continued alternating colors going off and on multiple times and I went to the door and called my daughter and husband to come out and look. My daughter took a picture and a video of the object and the row of red lights. The video nor the camera took a picture of the object as my daughter was certain she had done so. The I phone would not work but always has in the past. But she did see the row of red lights. As my husband came out the row of lights had disappeared and the object had reached within a mile of my house and at this time only had a couple of red and white lights underneath it as a plane would have. It was much larger than a Cessna plane but the night was so black I could not distinguish the shape. A smaller plane was flying west to east behind us and the ! aircraft we were watching made in less than a 1/4 of a mile width a U -turn before reaching us and proceeded back north at a somewhat faster pace than it had approached us towards the Newnan, Ga, area.

Oklahoma City, OK
my husband and I left Walmart from grocery shopping and was heading east on Hefner Road. I saw a very bright but small shiny object high up in the atmosphere/sky. it was moving very fast and I asked my husband "what is that". he said it has to be a jet or a meteor but we kept watching it and it was moving very fast and stop all of a sudden. we pulled to the side of the road to continue watching it as it stood still in the sky and then it started disappearing slowly. we both were speechless and laughed about we had just seen a UFO we had never seen anything like it before. I wish I would have recorded it it was amazing

Port St. Lucie, FL
The object was roughly circular about palm sized and translucent and/or opaque , transparent. it changed shape with the wind similar to a manta ray as it swims. It floated around the front lawn roughly 7 ft. above ground. The object, fluttered up to around 12 to 15 feet above the lawn but then seemed to move purposely towards the mailbox. Suddenly, the object seemed to accelerate upwards as if being sucked up into the sky. It went up faster than abaloon that is caught by the wind but not as if it was a rocket.After about ten seconds it had disappeared. the way it hovered and swept across the lawn had me mesmerized and as it ascended, I called my wife to the door but it moved fast enough for her to not be abe to focus in.

Canton, MS
There is a changing lighted object at 107 Degrees east at about a 40 degree angle. Looking from Cantin, MS. With binoculars it looked like an amoeba changing shapes. Earlier it had bright multi-colored lights. 12/13/2014 at 9:14 PM. What is it? It is still there. Possible sighting of Sirius?? PD

Lakewood, CA
It started as a small red streak going by then changed to just a red moving dot. It then went back to the streak but then appeared to have a "v" shaped white light in front of it. After the "v" shape got bigger and wider it slowly disappeared.

Summerland, CA
Looked like a comet with a tail, becoming more rocket like as it moved across the 101 highway in Summerland. Quickly changed shape looking like it dropped a fuel tank. Continued moving out to the ocean with what appeared to be some type of force field around it. Disappeared from sight. Many others were pulling over to film. Car radio and street lights were interrupted. Dog was distressed. My wife (in another vehicle) reported hearing 'mechanical sounds' as she was exiting her car. Atlas V rocket launch from Vandenberg AFB. PD

Miamisburg, OH
My neighbor posted on Facebook that she saw something strange in the sky and mentioned that it kept changing shape and colors. I went outside with my camera to investigate. My neighbor was outside ,and offered me her binoculars, so that I could see what she was seeing. When I first looked at the object, it appeared to be a triangular shape with three bright points defining it. My husband joined the neighbor and I with his phone to take pictures as well. None of us had a camera capable of zooming to the magnification of the binoculars. We did however, get some strange looking photographs. The object appeared to change shapes and colors. All of us agreed that the colors green, red, and blue had appeared. The object slowly moved across the sky. When we tried to zoom in on the object with our cameras, the objected appeared to move around erratically. Possible "twinkling" star?? PD

Gilbert, AZ
While in my car between Higley and Ray and Higley and Williamsfield Road saw three bright shimmering objects moving in circular and u shaped motions. I thought they were fireworks at first because of the shimmer light tail that followed their movement. They were the color of a white gold shimmer and very bright. They also resembled shooting stars, but I would say more like a firework display. They would disappear and return again with their shimmering light display. It was beautiful.

Ogden, UT
The craft was making erratic movements. I thought it may possibly be a remote controlled plane or drone, but it seemed to also change color and shape. I viewed it from behind a water tower. It dipped below the tower, then a few minutes later it rose again, so I ran into the house to get my dad so he could see it to. I caught a small glimpse of it again through the trees when we first went back outside, but that was it. It never came back up. Oh, and the colors it changed from were white, red, and a blue or purple.

Santa Maria, CA
On Sunday November 23rd, at approximately 5:45 pm, my wife, sister in law, and myself were standing on the street in front of my sister-in-law's home, which is currently under construction. The sun had just set and as we were getting ready to get in our car, my eye was drawn to a bright flame orange object which was rising over the horizon to the north east of us in the just dark sky. Over the next 30 seconds or so the object became bigger and brighter as it appeared to get higher in the clear and cloudless sky. As it got closer to coming overhead of our location it was clear it was not a plane, rocket, helicopter, of ballon. The object had no navigation lights, did not blink, was silent, had no contrail, and did not flame out like a meteorite would. Its speed seemed to accelerate as it headed to the southwest, but was constant in its direction until it disappeared from view. The most compelling observation the three of us had was its orange constant flame orange color and unusual and possibly changing shape... We were able to take several photographs which bear out the unique color of the object against the sky. I consider myself a bit of an aviation and space buff and this was unlike anything I have ever seen.

Atlantic Beach, FL
I was just sitting outside tonight, looking directly above my head in Atlantic Beach, FL. Staring above and to the western sky, I saw what resembled descriptions of the AZ lights. The difference was the lights I saw seemed so far away that the speed they were exhibiting is indescribable. These lights were so far away though that if not witnessed continuously would resemble stars. I kept my head turned upwards, with my gaze staring in a single position, and the lights moved outside of my periphery. This was my way of determining the lights were moving. At certain points, there seemed to be 1 to 6 lights illuminated at once. Then, all but one light would be visible. Then the lights seemed to illuminate the way a Cuttlefish displays its luminescence. The semi-circle luminescence moved to the northwest. Looking at a single point in the far away sky, I would stare at the last point I saw a light, and then the light would disappear, and then the light would reappear at a different point. I knew it was a different point because I hadn’t moved my gaze and when the light reappeared I had to move my eyes. The lights seemed to at some moments to be in a semi-circular configuration, maybe 4-6 lights, and then they would dissipate to 3, and then just 1 light. At intervals the lights seemed to kind of flash heat lightening, but the “heat lightning” would move quickly like the individual lights did. I look at the sky often and have never seen anything like this. I am quite shaken. Did anyone else witness this? Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

We were driving on the road when we saw a large rectangle above the trees. It then changed to a sphere and then a cube later. It was on fire. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Roswell, GA
Noticed moving craft in sky @ 5:20 heading toward me at approx 5-10,000 feet. At one point the craft became 2 separate crafts. They swirled around each other. Craft continued to move in a non linear fashion. Craft came to complete stop and remained stationery for several minutes. As i tried to drive closer, i continually watched the craft hover. Suddenly, the craft sped away in a south west direction very very fast. I would estimate 5000 mph minimum.

Menifee, CA
An interesting round object seen in Menifee, CA, 11/13/2014, approximately 8:30 pm. Yellowish with a darker brown bottom color, a darker center. Hovered quietly above park trees, I walked around corner from my house and it made a quick dart away from me, headed west, then another quick dart south and suddenly went up higher and headed west, where it just disappeared. The object made no noise and I would have regarded it as a toy drone, but the speed, the quick ascent and the brisk disappearance could not be done by a drone. Fast planes pass by my neighborhood and I can track them for miles. Hot air balloons are seeing frequently and these do not have speed capabilities. Holiday balloons can be tracked and often easy to track their landing once the little fire dissipates. This object did not move like anything I have ever seen.

Tucson, AZ
Orbs/ discs coming from the direction of the sun. Appearing and reappearing in different locations. Only visible with binoculars. They seem to emitted silk looking strings. They seem to fly erratic like, pausing often. Flickering, and changing shapes. They fly in and disappear over particular areas. There are so many of them, I stopped trying to count. It has been going on since the eclipse. That's the day I noticed. When clouds get near, they seem to leave. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Long Lane, MO
My family and I were watching the skies (this is an update of our other report on this site BTW) and we saw five new craft high in the sky, all of which moved and, as with the older ones, changed shape and color over time. In addition, we witnessed three white orbs flying flying parallel to each other in perfect unison as well as pulsing. They made several passes without any noise before simply vanishing half way through the final pass.

Anderson, MO
We were in the pool looking up watching meteors appear. We saw 3 meteors and only one seemed to appear brighter and flamed out. Then about 3 mins later a gray shape appeared in the eastern portion of the sky line. we stood up and pointed at this gray shape that I thought were a flock of birds until it changed shape. This shape change appeared to look like a stingray and flapped its wings. It took 3 to 5 seconds to cross the skyline above our pool. We could not see thru this object. This object was totally silent. The size of the object was like holding up a quarter and looking at it as though it was in the sky. This object was oval and oblong and seemed to have winged points expand from the sides. This object moved from the east to the west directly above our pool. I thought it was migratory birds. No lights and No sounds. This sighting was extremely odd. no planes were in the sky. At this time the sky was clear and bright. we both spoke at length as to wha! t just happened. We believe we saw an object larger than a bird. larger than 100 birds that fly around each other to keep warm. Not a plane because no lights or sounds. This object took the shape of a stingray but we could not make out any tail. This sighting made such an impression that we spoke about filing a notice. Something did fly over our head and was silent with no lights or sound.

Isle of Palm, SC
My husband and I noticed some extremely bright, low-flying orange lights over the ocean while looking out the balcony of a rented condo in Isle of Palms. The first 3 appeared together and seemed to be floating fairly quickly along the coast. The moon was extremely bright and far above the lights but they appeared much brighter than any stars or planets in the sky. What was strange was 1. For being so close to the ground and so near us, there was no sound of an airplane or helicopter engine. 2. The lights were unusually bright and very orange -almost like flames. 3. They did not blink steadily like commercial planes- in fact, they did not blink at all. 4. The first set moved quickly along the coast and seemed to move out to sea before fading and disappearing one by one over about 5 minutes. 5. We thought they might be those luminaries that people sometimes release blowing in the wind, but one of them in the second set remained stationary for several minutes. 6. The last one remained stationary for a while. It was very close to the horizon. We concluded it must be Jupiter and took put the star map app on the iPad to check. By the time we got it calibrated, the "stationary" object had floated upwards before going out like a flame burning out.
