San Antonio, TX
On April 21, around 9:30pm, a flying object Shape like a Rock that has all those beautiful colors when you break it in half. It was northeast of San Antonio. Tx At first I thought the reason it looked like that was because the moon was behind it. My screen couldn't capture it well. UFO Sighting: http://youtu.be/p18le9P0t-gi ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) I was looking northeast . it lasted a while the beautiful colors kept me from being afraid like God showing fiesta colors. ((END ADDENDUM)) We have attempted to look at the video, but unsuccessfully. We have requested of the witness that she unblock the video. PD

Ricetown, KY
The two lights were moving in a frenzied manner this time coming closer than last night. I quickly came inside with my dog. Last I saw, the objects were flying in my back yard as if looking for something. I can not find my cat at this time. He was on roof of garage as this was happening. An orb had come close to him. I live surrounded by the Daniel Boone Ntl Forest.

Seaside, OR
Noticed a bright Orange flickering light HIGH in the sky above Seaside, OR. Recorded a minute or so when I spun around to track it and noticed a second one over the ocean. Looked identical and both were moving South by SW. Faster clip than a helicopter or most planes. Looked like flying fire: flickering from Orange to Orange/White.

Liberty Township, OH
What I thought was a falling star, white in color, was falling towards the earth at what seemed like slow motion. As it got closer, it got bigger in size and I could then see a tail at the end of the fireball. Now going at a rapid speed, it flashed brightly turning from white to green, and streaked by disappearing over a house. This all happened in about 15 seconds from the time I first spied it and until it vanished. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Pea Ridge, AR
Driving home in Pea Ridge, a bright green, very low fireball streaked into view, and was gone in seconds. When I drove near what would've been the approximate crash site, I smelled something very acrid and sulfuric.

Cairo, IL
Meteor? April 16, 2016. 10:15 PM North on IL 57 mile marker 5-6 from Cairo, IL. I had just left a rest stop from doing my ‘TM’ (Transcendental Meditation), so I was fresh and alert. I was driving northbound on Illinois route 57N, windshields are clear/no tint There was no oncoming traffic at the time, and only a few northbound vehicles. I noticed from the center of the windshield coming down from the top of the windshield, a bright white streak of light which went horizontal with the horizon in front of me, from center of the windshield, moved fully across to the left lower side of the driver’s side window to the treeline. It went from a small white steak to a long multi-colored ‘tailed’ streak and ending with bright green ball of light that disappeared, either from the treeline or from just burning out. It lasted 2 to 3 seconds, as it crossed the sky from what I saw… fantastic! I had not ever seen such a fall. Thoughts that crossed my mind in 2-3 seconds: Falling star, missile (are we being attacked?) Rocket Bomb Fire Color to Green – bright!! Large – half the size of an over-head full moon ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Oops. Yes, Cairo, Illinois, and it was 15th of April, 2016, which was Friday night 10:15 pm. Sorry and thanks.

Curwensville, PA
I was standing outside the Curwensville Moose Lodge around 8:30 pm, when I noticed a star that was very unusual. It was a orange/yellow color. At first I just thought, well that's a weird star and was going to leave it at that. But then, as if it knew I was staring at it, the "star" started to slowly move upward. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me until I used another star as a reference point. That's when I knew it was in fact gaining altitude. It was moving slowly upwards until it was over the top of my head. That's when I noticed it had a white pulsating light. I started to get nervous and went to reach for the door to the moose, but it slammed shut. Because it was a push door that only opened on one side, I couldn't get back in. I looked up and it looked like this thing was now staying directly on top of me, I really got nervous and began knocking on the door in hopes that my friend would hear me, and luckily she did, and let me in, when she did open the door, I pointed the object out to her and asked her what she thought it was. She didn't know. I didn't know either. But about 2 years ago I experienced almost the same thing except with 3 "stars" in a triangle formation that were still until they started to move directly over the top of me. Both times, I got into a building and when I came back out, it was gone, on both occasions. I still can't say what they are.

Ellsworth, KS
On Tuesday the 12th of April, 2016, at approximately 9:30pm, I observed 5 bright red ball of light that looked like fireballs. The objects appeared for approximately 5 seconds at a time and appeared to pulsate. They started out small and proceeded to grow for about 5 seconds. After which they disappeared. At one point I was able to observe two lights at one time. The lights were coming from southwest of my location and were coming in approximately two minute intervals. As one light disappeared another would appear in a different spot however they were in the same general area. They did not appear to be any kind of military aircraft based on their shape, color, and movement. I can’t give an accurate measurement of how far they were from my location. I am not an aviation expert and I do not work for the government. I have never seen a UFO before. I am just a civilian reporting on what I witnessed. I was unable to get any photos or videos of the event. I contacted our local police department and two of our local news channels to see if they knew anything about it. The police were not aware of the situation and neither were the local news channels. However the news channels did say they would investigate. I would also like to mention that there were aircraft in the area shortly after the lights disappeared.

A good 20 minutes later, flickering lights from south, north and east areas would zoom around, dance around, lights would stop flickering, then start up again but in a different area. There were a good dozen. Witness provides no contact information. PD

Duncan (Canada), BC · Canada
On the evening of April 11, 2016, between 10:15 and 11:45 pm, PST, a friend and I conducted a CE-5 on her property just north of Duncan, on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, the west coast of Canada. I was a skeptic, non-observer, and until then, UFOs were for lunatics and movies (thanks for decades of social conditioning). My friend, a biologist, amateur pilot, and a professional businesswoman, had, over the course of several weeks, slowly revealed to me that she had seen things at night in the sky on many occasions that she could not explain, while walking her dogs around the large farm she lived on at the time. As a pilot and amateur astronomer, she had easily ruled out all conventional aircraft, meteorites and common weather anomalies to explain her repeated observations. The extent of her sightings up until April 11, 2016 were stationary lights resembling stars that got brighter, dimmed, and got brighter, several times, over several minutes, not seconds, seemingly on command. She also observed objects resembling satellites in apparent size and distance travelling in non-linear fashion. Curved trajectories, zigzags, right angle turns and reversals in direction were n! ot uncommon. I considered my friend to be a rational, intellectual and intelligent person. I listened politely to her description of her observations and her subsequent research into the topic. A part of me believed she believed what she had seen, and a very small part was concerned for her sanity. We are good friends and of one mind on many topics, including the notion of a universal consciousness, so conducting a CE-5 and an evening spent star gazing seemed a harmless enough indulgence, in support of a good friend. It was early spring and it was still darn cold at night, not to mention the pond on the adjacent dairy farm had just hatched a fresh batch of mosquitoes. Around 9:00, we wrapped up in blankets, stretched out on gravity chairs and proceeded to play Dr. Steven Greer's CE-5 recordings, while observing a brilliantly clear, cloud free, non windy night sky. I felt a bit silly. We observed several commercial flights, large and small, satellites, and a few meteorites hitting the atmosphere. After an hour or so, we meditated in CE-5 fashion. I remember thinking intensely how much I needed to know if this phenomenon was real, so I would know my friend wasn't suffering from some sort of delusion, and asking 'them' to appear so we would know definitively that they existed and we were not alone. We did see three or four of the dimming and brightening repeatedly 'stars' she had described, which piqued my interest, but I was still busy trying to rationalize what we'd seen, not yet convinced they couldn't be explained. I was freezing cold, getting eaten alive by mosquitoes, and I had an hour and a half drive home and work in the morning. I stood up some time around 10:15, and started to make my excuses, when I saw a light like a fireball on the northern horizon about 3 miles out at what I estimated around 1000 feet above the treeline. There was absolutely NO sound - either from the object or the usual night sounds from animals around us. It was orange, red, amber, yellow and white and switched between these colours. If I had to estimate it's size, I'd say it was around the size of a helicopter, which we ruled out immediately. It was moving erratically and not like a conventional craft at all. It was moving right to left (east to west) overall, but zigzagging up and down, forwards and backwards, right to left, and down and to the right at the same time. It sometimes appear shimmery, as though it was fading in and out of reality. It was too far out to be explained by wind, which was practic! ally nonexistent that night. There were no 'drips', so it was not a Chinese lantern. I checked with my friend to make sure she was seeing it too. She was just as in awe as I was. We watched it for 10 to 15 minutes and repeatedly asked it to come closer. It did, but only slightly. Together, we ruled out everything conventional we could think of, including a small plane, drone, ultralight, helicopter, military flare, searchlight, etc. It was simply not any of those things. Then my friend said, 'Hear that?" We heard a jet coming in from the left and behind us (southwest of our position), heading northeast as it passed us, directly headed for the object we'd been watching. A second jet came from behind and our right (southeast of our position) a few seconds later, headed north northwest toward the object. A third jet appeared from the northeast, well north of the object, heading southwest toward it. We started yelling at it to go; that it wasn't safe. I actually felt some responsibility, since we had 'summoned' it. It waited until the jets were within a mile and shot straight up and north faster than anything I've ever seen and disappeared into the atmosphere. My friend later said it dipped before it took off and she wondered if the F-18 Growlers had attacked it with their electronic weapons. We were in shock at what we'd just observed. If it weren't for the jets, I might still have seen trying to rationalize what we'd seen, but their actions confirmed we'd seen something of interest to the U.S. military. The jets circled the area for some time afterward. What had been a perfectly clear sky was overcast in less than 3 minutes. We hid inside the house until my fight or flight kicked in and I drove home in a shocked trance. My perception of the world had changed completely. Later, my friend reported the jets circled the area for about an hour before leaving. In fact, the first group left and a second group came for a circle around the area. She was watching from her deck in the dark. Whidbey Island airforce base is the only place the F-18 Growlers could have come from. We know they were Growlers, because their sound is familiar to us, living only 50 miles across the water. Canada does not currently have jets on its west coast, so Whidbey is the only place they could have come from within the time-frame. Growlers are outfitted with electronic weaponry. Since that time, we have both had strange experiences. My friend in the 3-dimensional world with further sightings, and myself in the lucid-dreaming world, where I consider myself a student of the universal consciousness. I believe our 'neighbours' are tuned into the telepathic connection between all of us and that is how they appeared 'coincidentally' on the evening we 'summoned' them. There are no images of this incident. We were too stunned to stop and grab cameras. We were afraid it would disappear. My friend is willing to corroborate this version of events, but does not want her name to be shared, as she still runs a client-based business and is concerned about appearances.

Englewood, FL
We were having dinner at a wine bistro restruant in englewood fl when my wife said what is that? I turned and looked and saw a fireball moving from east to west. We were dinning outside on a very clear night. You could see the flames in this fireball as it moved across the sky. Many people watched this fireball until it disappeared. Then came another fireball in the same path as the first one. it was hard to tell how high or how fast it was moving. But I would say it was under 3000 ft. It seemed to pick up speed as we watched it silently fade away! I'm sure it wasn't a plane, helicopter, shooting star, or weather balloon .

Large green fireball flashing across the tree line. Did not look like anything I have seem up here before. Went out of view.

New York City (Yonkers), NY
A cluster of reddish orange glowing balls of light flashing. Very close together. Too many and too close for them all to be planes. Too high and too close for them all to be helicopters. There was no sound. A few drivers, including myself, pulled over into a gas station to actually see what they could have been. There were a few seconds that objects disappeared and then reappeared, still very close together traveling north east, but more east. I did not call police because they might think I'm nuts. I hope someone else experienced this besides me and others in town?

Then stopped and flame went out and went up and disappeared. We have amended the time above, in order that the report reflects a nighttime sighting, which we assume is the case. Witness elected to remain totally anonymous, and provides no contact information, so we are unable to confirm the time. PD

To be fair, Luke AFB is off in roughly the same direction at about 10 miles from this location, and the Thunderbirds are in town, however I have never seen an aircraft at night with fire coming out of its tail, drop straight down and stop mid air, sit there and disappear. Since we are on the outskirts of the city we also see our share of meteors and I have never witnessed one doing anything remotely similar.

My cousin and I were off of hageman and old farm and one by one 3 what looked liked floating balls of fire went from northwest direction overhead to the south west direction for a good distance than seem to burn out one by one as they went by I got video and photos showing them moving across the sky. And no sound was audible

Fayetteville, AR
I happened to look up and saw a bright "planet" in the sky because it was not twinkling like a star. It had a slight red or orange glow. As I pondered which planet it could be, it twinkled, and as I pondered that, it became much brighter. Then it just went out. I waited to make sure it was really gone, and I did not see anything else. My guess? Could have been a meteor that came straight in rather then across the sky. The duration of it was curious for a meteor, in my opinion.
