New York, NY
Sunday the 16th of September, 2018, around 6:05 PM, with a clear blue sky and no clouds around in New York City, my wife and kids were walking North on Broadway on our way home. She was a few yards ahead of me with our youngest and I was walking behind with our 15 year old. Around 89th St. and Broadway I noticed a reflection high in the sky, maybe a circular shape but not sure. I’m not sure if it was a light or if it was a reflection from the sun on the object because the view was coming in and out as it was moving north the same way we were walking. My 15 year old also took notice and he grabbed my phone and took a short video. The video captures a bright object but it was too high to tell what it was. It wasn’t an airplane because we saw airplanes flying around and we see them all the time. They always fly at a low level because they follow the same pattern into LaGuardia. We also see the pattern of airplanes flying into Newark Airport. It wasn’t a helicopter because it was way too high. It wasn’t a balloon because the movement wasn’t scattered the way a balloon moves with the wind and the wind at that time “I checked” was blowing SE at 8.1mph. This unknown object was moving slowly north then it slowly tuned towards the west heading towards the Hudson River that separates New Jersey and New York. Eventually we lost sight of the object because of the buildings. I’m writing here just in case someone also saw something, same date and time. If you want to ask me questions you may call me but what I wrote here is pretty much what I saw. I will see how I can send the video.

Evansville, IN
I was on the bus to school one morning and above this small building like substation or antennae (don't know how describe building) and there was 2 orb like craft (possibly). After my bus went down the road the craft then flew off silently into the forest. As it was flying away it seemed to be connected.

Reading, PA
Sitting in hottub with daughter. It was a day before A Hurricane Was to come through. It was real cloudy , they were going east to west from leading edge of storm. A large object that looked like it was cloaked or was mimicking the cloudy sky came right over my house , heading northeast. Totally silent it seemed to be below clouds . All the clouds were going West and this thing was going northeast and fast. It was like a cloaked ship , the only way I could describe it. Has anybody ever reported anything like this?

Lake Forest, CA
At approximately 20:00 on 7 September 2018, I returned home from work and pulled into my driveway. A bright blue light in the sky approximately 60 degrees up caught my eye, followed by a bright red light approximately 45 degrees horizontal to the left. Thinking they were too bright to be aircraft, I watched for approximately 30 seconds. The lights abruptly shifted colors (red to blue and blue to red), then disappeared. There was no sound, clear airspace, and no communication/signal towers in the vicinity.

Jonesborough, TN
On Tuesday, 09/04/2018, after having traveled out of state, I arrived at a friend’s residence in Jonesborough, Tennessee (to get some REM sleep STAT). I got out of my car, put my bags over my shoulders, and began walking towards the house. I was about to set foot on the front deck when I heard what sounded like rotating blades on a military helicopter and, incidentally, a train whistle from a nearby track. I stopped and looked up. I looked in the direction I thought the helicopter blade sounds were coming from (ahead of me, north, relative to where I was standing)...a star was the only object in that general area that appeared non-stationary (“movement” was just twinkling). The size of the twinkling star was so small (from my vantage point) that, if it had been a helicopter, the sounds it was making wouldn’t have been as loud as they were. I never saw a helicopter but I didn’t bother to look up all around me either...I thought “I stopped for nothing” (I was on the verge of lowering my head & trudging inside). I’m a trained observer. My job title is Behavior Analyst (2008 to present). I provide professional behavioral services to persons with developmental and intellectual disabilities. At 4:40 am, as I was on the verge of lowering my head and trudging inside, a bright streak of pale orange/yellow light (to my northwest) didn’t make any sound while rapidly shooting upwards at a 30 to 45 degree angle (it didn’t just shoot upwards at a high rate of speed...it stretched/expanded upwards from its original position), paused for about 0.5 seconds, and collapsed (i.e., stretched/condensed from its original position to where it had stopped stretching) at an even higher rate of speed than when it had stretched/expanded from its original position (debris was emitted upon collapse). I looked for a specific object but didn’t see one. The streak may have been an undetected object (of a probable terrestrial origin, statistically) traveling at a high rate of speed. The streak looked like a long exposure image of an ember popping and soaring from a fire. Upon collapse, the streak either disappeared or began accelerating so fast that I could no longer observe its presence. Upon collapse, the emitted debris either disappeared or was no longer illuminated. What I observed was over and done with before I had a chance to think about dropping my bags and getting my phone out. The duration of the observed event may have been about 3 seconds. Terror/excitement combo experience was hard to process. I don’t think I heard any sounds at all during the few seconds that the bright streak of pale orange/yellow light stretched/expanded, stretched/condensed, and dissipated...but I’m not sure. After the streak disappeared or accelerated, train whistle was still screaming but sounds of helicopter blades (not even distant ones) were no more. If a helicopter was present, the pilot or pilots evacuating themselves (immediately after object dissipation) could/would make sense (following orders/protocol). My jaw was on the driveway. I picked it up, went inside, and got to writing. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Phoenix, AZ
On September 3rd around 19:24, my husband, 2 year old and I were driving in Phoenix, Arizona, near Glendale. I looked out the window to my left and saw 6-10 bright lights in a line formation coming from the horizon. We found a place to pull over on a quiet road and waited for the objects to pass over. Once they did, we were shocked at how silent they were. We couldn’t hear the craft at all. From a distance they were white lights but once they passed us they were green red and white. The objects were flying very low, right above the buildings and yet I couldn’t make out the shape of any of the craft. They started to disperse after flying over.

Honolulu, HI
I then noticed 2 red lights flashing and every once in a while they would flash gold. One was following the other. Then the one behind went higher and it seemed like they were beginning to descend. The angle was slightly diagonally. It or they were super low and flying slow over the valley and towards the mountain. The event lasted 3 minutes or so, before losing sight behind a building. I live in Honolulu close to Makiki and Punchbowl Cemetary. I got the chills when we saw this. Would love to know if anyone else saw this and of course, what it was. Thank you kindly!

Oxford, MI
Then a second one exactly the same shape size and speed behind it was visible. I went inside and got someone else to see to confirm what I was seeing. After about a minute of both of us watching it disappeared. No haze or sound.

Morehead City, NC
I saw many objects moving very fast changing direction and vanishing. Some were moving very slowly and none were planes. You can tell the difference. I have never seen anything like it in my life. It was more that the object was a light rather than it had lights. Changing from very bright to vanishing. Eight plus objects. I have a video…

Independence, KS
Saw a bright light, blinking at a rate of approximately one blink per second for about 5 blinks, when I went out my front door. I was facing East. The light was slightly above just to the East of Mars. It then moved up and to the East, blinking at a slower and slower rate as the light faded, then it suddenly disappeared. Because of the brightness of the light, and the changing of the speed and duration of the blinks, I am sure this was not an aircraft. The sky was clear with stars all around.

Round O, SC
I was leaving for work I got to my truck and noticed 3 yellowish white lights in the distance. I thought it was three planes flying around each other well within 3 minutes the lights moved all the way to me and went from white to red. They were moving in the same direction at the same speed. Now I knew they weren’t planes because I didn’t see any blinking lights, and there was no noise as they flew. Now three planes flying the same direction of each other you’re bound to hear some kinda noice from the engines.

Long Beach, WA
Last night (8.22.18) while listening to Coast to Coast, I heard Peter davenport mention the witness' at Long beach that spotted a UFO. I live about 2 miles south of the reported incident. It was already dark out, due to the smoke from British Columbia and the marine air that pushed the fog onto the shore. I was outside on my deck talking to my wife on the cell phone when I saw the craft moving north to south at about 60 degrees above the horizon. There was no sound---just what appeared to be 4 red lights in a tight circular and or square pattern. It didn't look like the typical lights pattern of a commercial or private aircraft. I wasn't able to get my phone switched to video mode fast enough but did get one photo taken, which sadly doesn't do much justice to what I way (( My report on Coast to Coast on August 22, 2018, addressed a sighting in Long Beach, California, no Washington.

The four photos submitted by the witness exhibit three or four tiny dark specks against a cloudy sky. We do not know what the specks are, but suspect that they might be birds in flight. PD

Chicago, IL
I live just east of O’hare international airport and recently setup a security camera pointing almost directly west overlooking the airfield sky. I setup the camera to only record motion (free 14 days of motion recording) and let it run. The next day I decided to check out some of the night time motion triggers thinking that I would get another racoon/skunk sighting. Instead I got something that I can't really explain. I first checked a recording at 5:09 AM and noticed that the usual insect tripped the motion. Upon further inspection of the video, I noticed 2 small lights in the sky. I rewatched and noticed that they were hovering slightly. I then started going back in time about every 20 minutes or so and noticed that the 2 lights were roughly floating in the same position. I kept going back in time (about 4 hours) to 12:47 AM to see if I could find where the lights entered the frame. The lights appeared above the treeline and rapidly moved up and over to assume a position where it remained for over 4 hours hovering slightly. It looks to me as a pair of 2 lights connected by something, probably the aircraft, and moved in unison. Feel free to access the Google drive folder below for most of the videos recorded and a “line of sight” map of the camera: https://drive.google.com/open?id=17Xh_F7DNv-a8kILooFX_BsEIe2fE6akU ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Peter, I see the lights in the sky again and it seems like it is some sort of infrared guidance system for the planes to land. Obviously, it can only be seen with a IR security camera and the video from 12:47 looks like they were doing some sort of calibration and then bringing it in line for the planes to land. Very sorry, ((name deleted)) ((END ADDENDUM))

San Diego, CA
There was a large clouded storm coming in at an extremely fast rate. Then all along the bottom line of clouds there is lightning flashing. You see aircrafts of some sort fly into the clouds and when they reach a certain point, they seem to blow up and then fly out faster then they went in. There was no wind at all and it was extreme darkness to the sky.

Lindon, UT
At 20:38 while sitting on an overlook at Dry Canyon park in Lindon, Utah, my companion alerted me to a black object sitting high in the sky over the city. Initially, we questioned whether it was a powered hang-glider, but it was hovering in a way that was abnormal. The craft was hovering and rotating but not moving in an particular direction. It seemed to be diamond shaped, but was too far away to tell for sure. Its altitude was far higher than planes that we saw passing after. After hovering for roughly 3-4 minutes, the craft headed south-west over the lake for another 3-4 minutes, when it ascended and disappeared in the clouds.

Pingree Grove, IL
I seen what could be called a "triangle" craft but since it was nightime I really couldn't see a definite craft shape. I did see 3 incandescent glow lights (not super bright like Led lights) in a triangular shape with a pulsating red light in the center. I live 20 miles west of Chicago O'Hare airport so there's always planes in the sky. At the time I seen the triangle "craft" I thought "that's kind of an odd lighting pattern". For the size I'd say about the same as a mid-sized jetliner. For altitude maybe 1,000'. What is odd is I heard engines powering the craft but it wasn't going as fast as a typical jetliner. The reason that I took so long to report this is that I've been thinking about it and been watching the night skies for the same lighting pattern...with no luck. At the time I seen it I was thinking that a Ufoligist would call it a UFO...that made me chuckle a bit as all reports I've ever read or heard said they were a silent craft.. .But I heard the soft roar of engines??!!

Newport, TN
Was watching the Perseids meteor shower around 5am EDT looking to the ENE about 45 Deg up from the horizon seen a flash and sparks. Unknown if the Meteor hit something or blew up? No meteor streak just before a strong white flash and a few white/green sparks in one spot in the sky.

Champions Gate, FL
I was watching porn meteor shower’s, noticed what I thought was a star. Very bright any begin to move south to north. Thinking it was an airplane but there were no flashing lights on it. It stopped suddenly And remain stationary for 45 minutes. We grabbed our binoculars to see what it was in notice it was five lights right in a row with the middle light being the brightest. The lights seem to be connected to each other. My husband said had he not been here to see if he would not have believed what I said. He still can’t believe what we saw.
