Circa 2 AM I started to hear seagulls squawking which is pretty unusual. Since they were keep making noise for a while I went to the balcony to see why the commotion. I live half a mile from the coast. Saw a reddish triangle hovering over the sea, quite big. Now in this location it is pretty common to have fishing boats and other kind of vessels, but it was nothing like that. In fact, there were two different boats near it, like 50-100 metres to the right and left, I guess. Unlike this vessels which have small distinct white lights, what I saw was like a huge mass of lava-like light, slowly fading into nothingness. Coincidence or not, when the event ended, the gulls went quiet. I had a similar experience July 2012, but that time it was bigger and spherical.

Des Moines, IA
So, me and my sisters were sitting in my room, when I feel like looking outside. I look out my window to see a triangular shape flying at a low height. It had three lights like triangles in the triangle a white light a orange light and another color I could not see properly. I immediately thought it was weird since it was flying at a fast rate. After leaving my view from my bedroom I ran to my staircase, where there was another window where I saw it once more.

Penna Turnpike I-476 S Lehigh Tunnel, PA
Triangle shaped aircraft with two crisp white lights, one blinking (left) and one solid (right) positioned at the “rear” of the craft relative to its trajectory, with a dim red circle in the middle of the bottom of the aircraft seen on the Pennsylvania Turnpike on I-476 South immediately after exiting the Lehigh Tunnel near Mahoning Valley. I was driving home from Wilkes-Barre to the Philadelphia area late at night, with the sighting occurring at approximately 1:15 am on Wednesday morning. Immediately after exiting the Lehigh Tunnel, roughly in-between the Jim Thorpe/Mahoning Valley and Allentwon exists, I noticed two white lights to my right. They appeared to be about 30 ft apart, and the left one was blinking about every other second while the right light was solid. I was engrossed in a podcast at the time I first noticed the lights, and thought oh it’s just some plane. However after about 10 seconds past the tunnel exit, when the glare from the lights of the tunnel exit were fading away, I looked back at the object in confusion. Why is this plane flying so low? It was right at the tree line, less than 200 ft from the ground. Why does this aircraft seem to be flying slow enough for me to nearly keep up with it? Why is there only one blinking white light and while the other one was remaining solid? As I was able to see the object more and more clearly, I noticed the two lights appeared to be at the rear corners of a silhouette of an equilateral triangle, with the tip of the triangle (again relative to the aircraft’s trajectory) having no light emanating from it. It was bizarrely black. Like the blackest black I’ve ever seen. It literally blended in with the night sky almost too well for me to make out a shape. And then I noticed in the middle of the bottom of the aircraft, there was this dim glowing dark red/orange circle (it reminded me of the glow from the last ember of a dying campfire), that looked like it had some kind of hatch over it. At this point the craft began moving over the highway and to the left, still shockingly low in the sky, and it was beginning to slow down. Still barley in front of me at the same height, I noticed a bright light shooting up vertically from what seemed like a random spot in the forest next to the highway. The craft appeared to be heading for this light, as it had slowed down and then halted one it reached it. As I passed by, trying to go slowly as acceptably possible on the highway, still seeing it hovering over the light, I lost it in my rear view mirrors after a few seconds. It hadn’t dawned on me until a minute or two after the sighting that I thought to myself, why the heck didn’t that thing make any noise? At its altitude, if it was any kind of traditional aircraft, it should have been VERY loud especially considering how close I was to it. From start to finish of viewing the aircraft, it was as silent as if there was nothing there at all. I consider myself an amateur astronomer as I frequently take my telescopes out at night in my suburban Philadelphia backyard or elsewhere for viewing the night sky. Only 30 minutes (or less depending on the time and day) from the Philadelphia International Airport, I have seen every type of passenger aircraft that frequent the airport flying to and from it, at all sorts of heights and perspectives, and I’ve never seen anything quite like this. (I actually have seen a similar bizarrely noiseless totally black V shaped aircraft flying at low altitude a couple years ago in my backyard, but that is not what this report is about.) I would do anything to get in touch with the one or two other cars on the turnpike near me at the time of the sighting for verification that I’m not nuts. If you guys received any calls or anything regarding an aircraft of similar description that same night, I would really appreciate knowing.

After a couple minutes, it started rotating around together. The lights appeared about 60 feet in the air and were over the Atlantic Ocean.

I was driving to my house.i saw the craft reflect sunlight. I was on a red light. Moved to the next red light Craft was in same spot. I pulled in to my house. Ran to front door and looked for it. As soon as it shimmered I started taping it for over 3 min. Then I called my neighbors who witnessed with me. We also looked at it with a spotting scope. We watched it over

Hawaii Kai, HI
Me and my cousin driving from Sandy Beach towards Hawaii kai saw strange lights (red and blue) on the side of the mountain near the range. Big as a helicopter no sound thinking it’s a drone no one around. We literally almost crashed because it was clear as days. It was like a triangular shape with red and blue lights. We stared it down for a good 5 minutes then we got to suspicious of it we turned around and it was gone like it was never there. What are the odds that a missing person search is happening at Sandy Beach and a ufo sighting was near the spot. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

West Chester, OH
Shortly after 10pm on July 4th, 2019, I observed an unusual object in the south by southwest sky at about a 40-50 degree elevation from West Chester, Ohio. It caught my attention because the usual object first appeared to be perfectly still and did not show any characteristics associated with a helicopter. Later, it moved south at what appeared to be an extraordinarily high rate of speed. When it accelerated, I believe I heard a faint, very low frequency rumbling. Otherwise, there was no sound associated with the object. The object featured three lights in a triangular pattern. When I looked at the object through binoculars, I could clearly see that one of the lights was a steady red and two were alternating between green and red. The alternation occurred on a regular basis changing roughly once per second. There was no evidence of landing lights on the aircraft, and through the binoculars I could make out what appeared to be a triangle. Yes, this was on the Fourth of July. But this clearly was not any kind of firework. I also found it odd that if this was a research aircraft of some type, that it would be flying on a night when so many people would be looking up towards the sky. 10pm is a typical time for fireworks displays in this area. My son and wife also saw the same object. My son also observed it through the binoculars.

Triangle shaped,Orange lights I recorded 5 or 6 of them following the same path, and then disappearing into a vortex in the clouds. There is no Airpot near the area I recorded them.

Antonito, CO
My fiance and I were watching fireworks all around us. We looked over to mount San Antonio, when we saw 3 orange lights moving slowly right above the Mountain. I tried to take video, but it didn't show up very well. It lasted approximately 6 minutes and just disappeared.

Canoga Park, CA
It was on Fourth of July. I was having a conversation with someone outside and I saw three bright light in the sky that was line up straight from the top to bottom. And did not move or any flashing until I saw one that made a tear drop that caught my attention because I thought it was a shooting star, but it wasn’t it’s like a teardrop then the three bright light made a triangle shape and it was a perfect shape! I was recording it and it was at night. I thought it might be a drone or fireworks but it wasn’t that. I couldn’t explain but we all saw that and i couldn’t explain how it works or what it could be.

Gadsden, AL
It was moving very fast then came to complete stop then shoot in different direction. I have pictures of craft. Many people seen this and were talking about it on the way back to vehicles. It was triangular with red lights on the corners and a bright blue light in the middle. The bottom of the craft had some "L" looking markings and it was completely silent. When it stopped it caused some crazy looking vortexes before shooting off in different directions. Ever person I talked to seen it. Not like you could miss it. It was very large and low in the sky.

Homewood, AL
Triangular craft, red and blues lights--I believe we caught a side view of it. It moved very swiftly back and forth, almost like a drone but much too fast, high, and clearly intelligent to have been one. It would curve, hover, and dip in the air. It looked as though it were watching the Vulcan that night as the fireworks went off, the entire time. It would hover downward into the trees every now and again, only twice throughout the duration of time, and always either in a curved motion or a clean vertical hover. I have multiple videos of this experience.

Fontana, CA
While lighting fireworks and watching neighbors fireworks in the sky I seen what was the shape of a triangle coming from the NE. At 8pm there was still enough light to make out aircraft that was in route to Ontario airport or an nother destination, and they were frequently moving at a predetermined amount of time, I could see the helicopters flying in and out infrequently, but you could tell they where helicopters, a couple of low flying private planes could also be seen, but then I seen a triangle moving in from the NE then turning and going south. The group wasn't moving fast and was pretty quiet compared to all the FW's that was going off. I looked in my truck looking for my binoculars it wasn't there and I wasn't carrying my phone. So I moved to a darker area to focus on those aircraft, and I could make out bands on the wings, I want to say they that they had two green bands, one on each wing, but it was dark and what they were escorting was a very bright! golden/yellow craft that I could not make out completely but that it was very bright and leading the two escort jets, and they headed south. From my perspective if you hold you two fingers in the air, arm extended, and leave a gap of about an inch, that's approx how close they were. My only fault is I didn't record anything.

Honululu, HI
We were at Waikiki beach towards the southern end. Around 2.10 pm I saw a triangular object rise over the horizon on the northern side of the beach (airport side) and shoot vertically into a cloud. The cloud was relatively small and the object didnt fly out on the other side of the cloud. I told my wife who was siting alongside me what i just witnessed and both of us eagerly kept observing the cloud hoping to see the triangular object fly out. As we were trying to spot the object fly out again, a second similar triangular object shot out of the north horizon and disappeared in the same cloud vertically at a very high speed. since the airport is in the backdrop, I remember seeing a commercial airline take off around the same point in the horizon (norther part of the beach) much slowly as compared to the speed of these objects which atleast seemed to be atleast 5X times the speed of the airline. Both my and wife couldnt believe what we saw. I had my camera wit! h me that fished after the second object entered the cloud and started panning the horizon to spot them. After 5 mins or so, I saw two figher jets circling in the distance over the mountains and the clouds trying to look for something. I was able to take pictures of these jets which were possibly scrambled from the base nearby. The jets were twin engine/ tail jets and couldnt in my mind be mistaken with the objects I saw earlier. Another thing that was peculiar, that if the commercial airline jet that took off from the airport at 400+ miles an hour speed and these objects easily flew at 5 times plus speed, that implies that they flew supersonic but we didn't hear them making any sound.

Columbia, SC
A massive triangle shaped object moved slowly across the night sky at what appeared to be 7500 feet in altitude. There was no jet engine sound. Red blinking lights were in synchronized and equidistant in distance. Total area of object at a guess would have been around the size of a city block. The weather was clear and Venus was clearly visible. Object was flying NE to SW.

Mebane, NC
At 22:03 tonight, I was taking one of my three dogs out for one last time before retiring to bed. I looked up at the sky above me. I saw a triangular shapped craft flying overhead. It was about 20,000 feet in altitude. It had a flashing red light in the middle and two solid white lights at each point at the rear. The white lights created a reflection off the bottom of the craft. It was clearly a shinny black metallic surface. It was being escorted by two fighter jets. The jets had the standard FAA regulation lights. The jet to the left was at a higher altitude than the craft while the jet to the right was at the same altitude as the craft. They were flying due south. The craft was silent. The only noise came from the jets escorting it. I ran to the back door and shouted to my wife to come out. She came out and witnessed the craft as well. We took pictures but our cell phone did not capture anything other than the indistinguishable lights. We watched it as i! t flew beyond our field of vision toward the south. At arm's length, the craft was approximately 2 inches in length. In comparison, the jets were about a quarter of an inch. Interesting night here in NC.

Kanab, UT
Around 10:20 pm, I noticed a white triangle shaped object, as well as a black triangle object with white lights moving slowly in the sky to the southwest kanab city at about, 8000 ft off the ground or so soon as I thought I need a video recorder it speed up doing flying patterns in the night sky I was able to capture several pictures of the objects then the bright white object that was flying took a disc like shape. And I'd say a few mins after transforming it vanished into the night sky.and when I started taking pictures it had seemed like time had stopped and when I stopped I had food in front of me on our picnic table and vaguely remembered my son asking if that was a ufo also during the pictures I was capturing my phone glitched out and acted like it was freezing and then went back to normal after the two objects disappeared.

3 of us, watched a Triangle Vessel, with no center of body, slowly move Southward, from WA State, in East OR.,. The Craft hovered over my front pasture 300'-350', approximately 7-10 minutes. The Craft slowly moved 2 miles East, then beyond known speeds, moved South, vanishing.

Marietta, GA
Sphere ball of light in the night sky that caught my attention while I was driving. I thought it was a cell tower light but knew there wasn’t one near by. The ball of light continued to move and then I lost a visual on it. I come to a red light, looked for the ball of light, but then see a slow triangle aircraft flying close to the ground and moving slowly. It had red,blue, and green lights and was only in my line of sight for about 10 seconds. It seemed odd that an aircraft like that would be flying so close to the ground when the local airport is several miles away. I was not able to video record any of these since I was driving, but it did spook me enough to look online to see if anyone else had witnessed it.

Shamong, NJ
My fiancé and I were in bed, after 1AM on Tuesday night. One of our dogs kept growling, but we heard nothing. He finally got up to check it out and look out of our front window. He was out there longer than expected, so I finally asked him what he was doing. He said “there’s a weird, red helicopter thing outside…” so I hopped out of bed to take a look. I looked out and saw nothing, thinking it was just his imagination, but then I saw it too! Behind the trees appeared 2 visible, very bright red lights. They moved upwards and then quickly down and to the right towards the high power lines across the street. He described what he saw as 2-3 bright red lights that appeared seemingly out of nowhere. They hovered and darted over, then disappeared before I came out and saw them. I am in HR and he is in Law Enforcement.

Tybee Island, GA
We watched it from a dock on Tybee, there were several people out fishing off the dock but we were the only ones who saw it. The front of the craft was a triangle shape that formed into more of a rectangle, like a house shape turned on its side. It came and went very fast, but left us all mesmerized and clueless.
