On the above date, I was doing some work for the local Post Office/Library in Sprague River, Oregon, setting up security cameras. On the north side of the building, I was looking for a spot to put one of the cameras, and looked up to see a bright ‘white oval object, shining in the sky. At first I thought it was a reflection off my sunglasses, but taking them off I noticed an object round and bright white in the southern direction about 75% off the horizon. It was not moving, no sound, and a light wind was blowing. I went to my truck and got out a 7x50 pair of binoculars to take a closer look. I was surprised to see a criss/cross line design on the bottom of the object, almost rounded shaped. Still the object was not moving. I got out my cell phone, which is a Samsung Stratosphere and took several photos. I later cropped them for a closer look at this object. (See Fig. 2 photo) I went into the building then, asked one of the employees to come out and witness what I was looking at (she wants to remain anonymous at this time). I pointed up at the object, then gave here my binoculars… her words; “Weird”! She confirmed what I had seen in the binoculars and that was a strange design on the bottom of the object. We stood there watching to see any movement from the object. She then had to go back in, and I had wiring to attach. It could not have been more than 5 minutes when I went back out to the location, the object was gone! That time had to be about 1:15 or 1:20 pm. Further investigation. I called NOAA in Medford, Oregon, on 16 Aug. 2015, and spoke with a meteorologist about the sighting. I then emailed him a photo of the object and he emailed me back; "I have no idea what it is. The nearest weather balloon launched near a fire that day was on the ground before 11:30am, so it wasn’t a weather balloon from the National Weather Service. Good luck!” So, the weather balloon theory is ruled out. On 17 Aug., 2015, I checked with Kingsley Field in Klamath Falls, Oregon, to see if they had anything flying that day and timeframe. They had nothing flying that day per the public affairs office. Since the Klamath Falls Airport currently does not have commercial aircraft flying in and out of the Klamath basin, this rules out any object from that area. Both the USAF and NOAA mentioned the possibility of a ‘drone’. I have two small radio controlled drones and this was not a drone. There was a light wind that day from the south, maybe 5-7 mph and the object did not waiver or move. I also pulled up Google Sky Map on my cell phone for that date and time and stood at the same place where I took the photos... now Jupiter, Venus, Mercury and the Moon were in the vicinity of the Sun that day. All the planets including the Moon were south of the Sun. Venus to the SSW and the other planets to the SSE positions. This object was more NNE direction of all the planet locations. It is my opinion this was not any of the planets in the vicinity during that time as it was too far north of the Sun. (See Fig 1 photo) Compass reading of the object was 160 degrees south. Angle of elevation was 75% off the horizon. Long/lat 42.55512 N & 121.50386 W Temp: 81 degrees Ground elevation: 4171 feet Wind direction: Coming from south, 5-7mph. Altitude of object: Unknown. Shape: Round/Oval Color: White Size at arms length: About 1/6th of thumb nail. Sighting Evaluation: The Klamath Basin has its share of military aircraft from Kingsley Field, and is in a flight path for commercial aircraft also. (See Fig. 3 photo) This was none of these. Eliminating all the possibilities; weather balloon, drone, aircraft, planets, weather phenomena, natural phenomena, any other man-made object… This witness concludes it as ‘unknown’ at this time.

Olympia/Nisqually Valley, WA

Children were playing outside at various places around the house and one child yelled to look and all children present saw a blue/green flash of light with a glowing white v shape surrounding it. It moved right left right, a zig zag before it left at high speed, much faster than anything else they have seen. All children ran into the house immediately and all shouted the same description. One child described the size equivalent to 4 -6 full size vans, and hovered approximately two cedar trees tall. The object also flashed a bright yellow flash before it left. The children said it made no sound.

Birmigham (UK/England) · United Kingdom

It was the 12th August, 2015. I am an amateur photographer and was trying to get images of what was supposed to be the shooting stars. Turns out the shooting stars were further north of where I live. I had quick look through my pictures the next day on the camera screen (Nikon D3100) and didn’t see anything, only today, 1st September, I have transferred my pictures to my desktop pc and noticed 2 brown objects. The intervalometer was set to take an image every 30 seconds. It was a relatively clear night, some clouds but clear enough to see a few stars. I live in a well-lit area of Birmingham so light pollution is a problem. On inspecting the 4 photos of 300 captured, which are taken 30 seconds apart a small brown/red object appears in photo 2/4 with another similar object just above it and to the right of the picture. Photo 3 (30 seconds later) shows the object change direction and fly at a 45 degree angle towards the other object. They both seem to move in tand! em with each other and in the same direction as if the one is chasing the other. I have the images on my SD card which is still in the camera and the images backed up on my PC. The images have been converted from a .RAW to a .JPEG image, if you would like the .RAW then please contact me. I didn’t hear anything on the night, the camera was outside and I was inside watching over it.

WHILE WATCHING THE PERSEID METOR SHOWER AND LISTENING TO COAST TO COAST ON AUG 12 AT 2:AM, I SAW A WHITE ORB MOVING VERY SLOW FROM EAST TO WEST. I WAS IN HILLIARD, OHIO, WATCHING THE ORB STOP OVER DUBLIN, OHIO. 4 SECONDS LATER IT SHOT UP INTO THE SKY. IT WAS OUT OF SIGHT IN A 1/2 SECOND.

Mt. Laguna, CA

I was facing the Eastern sky and was able to see the Milky Way, Andromeda Galaxy, Pegasus, Pleiades, etc. As I was looking on the NW side of the Perseus Constellation I saw what appeared to me to be a comet. It was heading towards the constellation, approximately 7 deg away from it. What I viewed was about the size of a softball, oval shaped, green in color, and it had a tail. I do not believe it was a meteor or an alien craft. I am an avid amateur astronomer who has seen many comets over the years; Hyakatuke, Halleys, Hale-Bopp, to name a few. Therefore, I do believe I know a comet when I see one. Also, I have viewed lots of other celestial sights, such as the Beehive, the Double Cluster by Cassieopeia, Andromeda Galaxy, Great Orion Nebula, etc.. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite eloquent and sober-minded. We suspect that he is an excellent witness. PD

Lakeville, MN

I was driving home 35W from an out of state Health and Wellness Expo, where I was an exhibitor. I was trying to stay awake, singing to the radio and looking around trying to keep moving. I looked out of my driver's side window and I just couldn't miss it! It was huge, just on the edge of the cloud bank. It had been raining, very hard at times and there was lighting in the sky earlier. It startled me enough that I took the first exit I saw off of the freeway and there just happened to be a park and ride parking lot right off that exit. At first I wondered why no one else was pulling over. I did consider the casino but as I watched the clouds continued to move and thicken over the lights which were stationary and I could tell the light was coming from above, not below. As the cloud thickened, I scrambled to find my camera to get some good pictures, I always have my camera with me, I love to take pictures of the sunsets with all the glorious colors they p! roduce. I was so flustered I couldn't remember how to take my camera off of auto focus to manual focus. On Auto focus the sensors would not focus in on the lights and it would not let me take a shot. At that point I was panicked and explitives were flying from my mouth, then, I remembered my Iphone and dug around my truck for that and final was able to get some pictures of it. At first I just got the lights, but then, I included the cars passing on the freeway to get some sense of how big this was. I never heard sound from anything except the freeway. It didn't seem to move at all, just hang there. When I was standing there, I was only able to see one set of lights. After looking at my photos and lightening them up to see what else I was able to see, Presto, there was another smaller set of lights just below and that one did seem to have slight movement as shown by the photos. In one it seems to be more off to the side and slightly tilted and then it moves to dir! ectly underneath the other. So keep in mind when looking at the photos, the contrast and light setting had been changed to better view the lights, because as I was looking for and eventually found the phone, the cloud bank thickened over the lights making them harder to see. And yes this is my first ever possible sighting of anything of this sort and it did definitely keep me awake for the rest of the ride home. Advertising lights?? PD

Grass Valley, CA

The object was slowly moving away from me in a NNE direction at about the speed of a jet airplane, but seemed likely to be at a lower altitude than would be typical of such a craft. Its appearance was extremely unusual and not at all typical of a conventional manmade aircraft or satellite. It was small enough in size at what seemed to be a far distance of at least several miles away such that it briefly blinked from behind each line, before reappearing, similar to a star or satellite. However, it was large enough that I could tell it was off-round in shape and a hazy orange in color, intensely bright in the center, and fuzzy on the edges. The color of orange in a pitch black sky combined with the cloudy hue of color and imperfect shape impressed me as being unnatural and not manmade. I have never seen anything like it.

Minnetonka, MN

It was about 10:30 at night. My co-worker and I were walking home from work together since we’re neighbors. As we were about to enter our neighborhood, I commented on how a cloud looked like a smoke ring. Upon closer inspection, this thing was definitely not a cloud. It was a large oval-like object that had balls of light on the sides of it. I took out my phone to take a picture or video or this thing. I was about to open the camera on my iPhone when all of a sudden it died. Note that it was at 12% battery and that this shouldn’t happen. However, my co-worker/friend was able to snap a few photos. Another odd thing I’d like to point out is that the object would not show up in a Snapchat picture, nor would it show up in a video. After about 10 minutes, we decided to head home, since this thing wasn’t moving and it was getting late. I would like to note however that it seemed to be higher up before we moved out of its sight. This report, in error, was first posted for a date of August 10th, 2015. We have amended the date, and re-post the report. PD

Edina, MN

My brother walks to his job at the hospital in Edina. It was around 11:30, when he called and told me to look outside. To the southwest, I saw this very wide oval of soft lights in the distance. It stayed there for while till it faded for a second and reappeared just a few feet to the right. (Distance of a foot compared to the sky.) It faded again. I dont know what the fuck I saw and I called everyone I could close to me but they live at least 30 minutes away from me, so I don't think the viewing was correct for them. My brother saw it and so did I. Freaking out right now. I dont know what to thing about this. Suspected advertising lights at a local casino. PD

Concord, NC

I was driving home when I saw a very bright light up above me in the sky. It was pretty low to the ground, so that's why I became curious. It seemed to have a really bright spotlight on the front. As I kept driving, I saw the side of it and it had a few small, blinking lights. It had a weird shape that was sort of like an elongated oval.

Sandwich, MA

At approximately 8:30 pm on Friday, August 7th, 2015, I saw a glowing orange orb just under the clouds in Sandwich, MA. This sighting occurred approximately 1/10th of a mile from Town Neck Beach, in Sandwich. The orb was a bright orange that would change to a glowing white periodically. It moved very slowly in a southern direction, stopping completely several times. It made no sound. I watched it for about 4 minutes, before it disappeared into the clouds.

Dover, DE

They were huge and blinked red and flew in an odd manner. Too abnormal to just be passed off as "airplanes".

Palmyra, PA

I was driving up Forge Rd. here in town on my way home. I went to turn left down my street and about 10 extremely big white/yellowish lights were hovering in the sky over a field. I saw about 10 lights in a half oval and the lights were diminishing one by one and then, all of a sudden, the last 4 or 5 light went out at once. I was under it off to the right and there was NOTHING in they sky no planes no flood light nothing. I called the Palmyra police and they laughed at me and I was the first to call they said. I went home went on facebook and my close friend saw it as well but he had 2 other people that could testify that we all saw the same thing. He posted something to Facebook a little video of the very end. I'm really freaking out. I have seen other pictures of sightings in Arizona and Florida and its the SAME thing I saw. I I'm very freaked out by what I saw and to know others saw what I did has me freaking out even more and this is why I am contacting you! !!!!! Source of report confirms that the time of sighting was 9:16 p.m., not a.m.. PD

Essex, MD

I opened the front door to let my dog out. At the end of our street is a small wooded tree area. An object came from behind the house at the end of the street. It barely flew over the trees and was clearly visible. It was a clear, cloudless night. The object appeared to be oval & made no sound at all, not even a hum. Separating the two levels were long, tall, red & white alternating lights. Before I saw the craft, I heard laughter coming from the trees that sounded like little kids going, "Hee hee hee". As soon as the object passed over the trees, the laughing stopped. It was coming from the north & headed south. Going very slow. The object went straight for less than 30 feet then turned to the right towards the west. When it turned it didn't turn like a plane would, dipping it wings. It just made a perfect, level turn & followed the path of the street across from my house, then slowly disappeared. The next day I saw the owners of the home outside! & I said this to them, "I was just wondering if anyone heard or saw anything unusual last night." And the man said to me, "Oh, if you mean the UFO's, they fly over here all the time". Although we live near an air national guard base/small airport, the object was too large to land at this airport. I know what I saw that night, and it was definitely not from this world.

Upon later reviewing my camera footage I saw a silver pod behind objects. I have photos which I'd be happy to send as well. Witness provides a minimum of contact information. We have attempted to contact her, in order to obtain confirmation on a few details of her report, but we have not been successful in contacting her. PD

Lincoln, VT

At 23:11, August 3, 2015, in South Lincoln, VT, clear night with a few spotted clouds after a day of thunderstorms. I went out to pet the dog, and was looking due west, when I spotted 3 large and bright, turquoise, oval lights. They appeared as though the light was blocked by a cloud, the color was foggy and diluted. They where very large and bouncing about darting across the sky in an irregular and excessively speedy flight pattern. The three lights appeared to be all the same and very close to me. The visible aspects where only the large (dime sized) turquoise balls of fading light. The three always staying close to each other making irregular circles around each other. I went inside to freak out (the dog was unfazed) and grabbed my boyfriend and told him to come look. He was convinced they where drones, but I'm not convinced at all. I went inside and brought my iPhone out and took a video, but the ovals where not bright enough. As I took this video, a plane was flying directly overhead, much higher in the sky and clearly and airplane, you can hear it in the recording. This only showed a greater and obvious comparison between the two, I compared them on my video. I also witnessed a strange phenomenon of light reflecting off of the plane passing over head, very high above, and much higher than the 3 ovals. As the plane passed over my roof top directly next to me, a bright white light reflected off my house-I think it was unrelated but also something I had never seen before. I tried again with to video it with my Canon rebel, same struggle with a dark image. I then went back inside to ask my boyfriend to check them out again at about 23:26 and they where gone and the sky had gone dark.

Oval object with green glow. Not very bright but easy to see. Followed by a helicopter. Flying east towards Romana. Almost like it was being escorted. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. PD

Atlanta, GA

I was looking for birds from my deck with a binoculars, and I stumbled on this bright dot in the western sky. I could barely see it naked eye, but it was Ok with the binoculars. My wife and niece watched too. It was hoovering and moving a little bit left and right (south and north). I couldn't make out very well the shape, which looked like a to spheres attached one to the other. The color appeared to be white and silver. It was very far high in the sky. That day there was a good amount of commercial airplanes flying from East to West, south of my observation point. It doesn't happened every day to see that many planes in that point at that time, it might be a route that is taken due to weather or else, and by the way the weather was perfect that morning. Anyway, at a certain point I am not sure where it went but it was not there any more. I don't know what I was looking at, my niece (21 y o) doesn't either, but she says she saw a UFO. It was a UFO to me, at least, I don't want to jump to conclusions. Considering the shape (to spheres attached one to the other) and the fact that it was not moving and it appeared to reflect light (at that time 8 am the sun was low in the eastern sky and was shining toward west hitting this object which was reflecting the light). It was very difficult to spot, I saw it by accident. I don't expect many people having seen it too. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
