Benicia, CA
Sitting on my back porch, me and 2 others saw three strange reddish lights in a triangle formation, moving in an odd way on the other side of the Carquienez straight, looking south from Benicia, CA. This is right in an area with heavy comercial air traffic. The lights disappeared 1 by 1. Right after the last one disappeared 2 jet fighters started circling the area. Time was around 21:00 on March 5, 2015.

Columbus, MI
Hovering over the night sky in Columbus, Michigan. My mother and I were driving to the gas station, when we saw a formation of three bright green orbs in the sky, lined up perfectly diagnally, hovering about a mile in the air. The formation seemed to get brighter and dimmer before it suddenly disappeared. There were a few planes flying towards it, before it disappeared in the night sky. Pictures were taken and are available upon request.

Vienna, VA
Saw what I believed was an aircraft flying west to east from Dulles toward Washington, DC. It had three bright white lights, all spaced apart. Each light had an accompying bright red light, flashing. Whatever this was, it was flying very low. Honestly I couldn't tell if it was one aircraft with evenly spaced lights or several aircraft flying together. It was flying very low--possibly right above the tree line. A helicopter was flying the opposite direction and appeared to be much higher. The helicopter was very loud but whatever I saw, it made no noise that I could hear. It flew in silence at a very consistent pace. Not that fast but not slow either. There are many aircraft out tonight but the lights on the other aircraft are less bright and they tend to have white strobes. Whatever I saw did not, just very bright white lights with pulsing red lights. Both light were of equal brightness. Might not be an alien craft but it was very strange!

Fallon, NV
Driving North on Lovelock Highway near Coleman Rd, I noticed 4 lights in a parallel line which seemed to be coming toward me from the North-Northeast. They appeared to be near the Fallon Airport and I initially supposed them to be one of the large Navy jets heading toward the base. As they continued to approach, I could see that there was no body to the aircraft, but four separate lights which then changed from a parallel line to a triangle, with the 2nd light from the left forming the apex. After about 5 seconds, the lights simultaneously blinked out. I was unable to see any other sign of them. When I made it home a few minutes later, only the brightest starts and Venus were visible in the sky. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Hopelawn, NJ
When I noticed it was a solid green light then it turned red. Then it moved forward, then upward while turning green again, when it moved left it starting turning green & red, then it started spinning but it had 5 five lights on each side (while vertical). On one side it was green on the other side it was red, as it was spinning it started flashing. It began to move left then right, it stopped flashing, then it was green and red on each side while spinning motionless. As it stared going back up the 5 lights became all red, it stopped for short moment then it disappeared. This is not the first time that this as occurred, the last time about a month ago me, my girlfriend, and her daughter seen it around the same area. We suspect the object might have been a star, although the witness believes that it was not a star. PD

Somerset, PA
Driving down PA turnpike a large object was spotted approximately 100-200 meters in length, hovering over the northern side of the highway. The object then took off moving west until it was out of sight, and only glow of lights could be seen.

Gallipolis, OH
I saw two airplanes following and keeping up with a large white ball of light. A few seconds later the white light released two more smaller white lights. One of the smaller lights flew above and one flew below when they were "released." It looked like a triangle shaped formation with the original light slightly ahead. They all flew about the same speed. I heard the sound of the two planes. I watched until I couldn't see them anymore. I was at home standing with my door open when I saw this. What caught my eye in the first place were the two planes flying side by side, which does happen from time to time but usually during the day. And these planes did not sound like jets either, much more quiet. They all flew approx at an altitude of a Cessna. I was pointed West and the crafts were moving from South to North.

Portland, OR
Went outside to sit on the porch and the two of us noticed a very bright, large light in the far west, just above the horizon. At first it looked like a star, but it was too bright and close, and moving NW, very slowly. As we watched it, we noticed that it was actually 3 glowing orbs, moving in what looked like formations: triangular, liner, and almost stacked (which is what we saw initially). It was moving very slowly in the beginning, with almost no movement, then started making the formations about 10 mins into our viewing. The light was extremely bright, and even through the lights in my neighborhood, I was able to capture the pulsing lights on my cell phone with no zoom. We watched it for over 20 mins, when it eventually had moved too far to the NW, and out of our view.

Maryville, TN
While unloading groceries, my husband and I saw 10 reddish orange orbs go from south to north in the sky. He was outside first. He saw four orbs in a square formation, followed by three in an elongated triangle, slowly drift from south to north above the tree line which is across from our place. The formations followed the same path as the previous formation. He texted me to come outside. Of the square formation, as they went past, all four lights went from orange to white for about 5 seconds, and back to orange. After the color change, the bottom two lights disappeared. The top two lights continued on the same path. Then the 3 lights in the triangle disappeared, followed by the first 2 lights from the square formation. By the time I was outside, the first seven had vanished. But when we looked back up, there were another 3 lights in an elongated triangle - they took up about 1/4 of the sky, and they followed the same path, from south to north, of the first 7. They were bright reddish orange and the impression was of slow steady movement. They did cover a large percentage of the sky from our vantage point - if I point my fingers at the places where they appeared and disappeared, it's at least 90 degrees. They covered this distance in probably about 45 seconds. We could also clearly see the lights of normal airplanes in the sky at this time, and it was obvious they were flying much higher in the sky. As the lights reached the northern part of the sky, they disappeared, one at a time. My husband and I are in our late 30s, we both work professional jobs, and we were shocked and amazed by what we saw.

We saw 4 very bright white lights over South Mtn.. Pulled over to film it for about 15 minutes. Four lights at first, then gradually went to one and back to two. Definitely NOT airplanes. Have video and still pics of them.

Las Vegas, NV
Las Vegas Second Sighting Traveling down the 95 South North of Downtown Las Vegas, I saw multiple objects which where making a 3 dimensional pyramid on the top formation, and another shape triangle shape at the bottom and spinning. Then what looks like they were making the shape of DNA. They were like orb energy ufos. They where changing directions. Someone got a video from a southern vantage point.

Bristow, OK
Monday, Feb. 9, 2015, at about 7:58 am, I was driving my 12 yr. old daughter and 5 yr. old grandson to school when I noticed that you could still see the Moon very well. I glanced at the moon, and then back at the road, and immediately realized I’d seen something under the moon, so I glanced back up at the moon and saw a long line of white dots moving at a steady pace in the same direction I was travelling. I instantly assumed they were white birds and again looked away. Then it occurred to me that they were in a perfectly straight line and evenly spaced away from each other, so I looked up again and said, “What the hell is that?” At that point my kids looked at it too and the 12 yr. old said, “That’s not birds!” At that point, I pulled the car to the side of the road and watched the objects. What I saw was a perfectly straight line of 6-8 very bright white lights, all traveling north at a steady speed that wasn’t slow but wasn’t real fast either. (They were flying, not drifting, on the air currents like balloons would). Each light was evenly spaced down the line and did not appear to be attached to anything or each other. They appeared to be separate units and were traveling as though they were following each other not flying side by side. The second to the last light was slightly out of line, it was a little higher than the others in the line. Each one had the same light intensity and were brighter than the moon was. They appeared to emit light, not have lights on the outside. I also noticed that they appeared to flash at the exact same time, but it wasn’t a normal flash and is very hard to describe. It was almost like a strobe light flashing slowly but the light wasn’t going off and on, it looked like there was a grey thing that travelled down each light starting from the top and travelling down the front then appearing at the top again and traveling down the front repeatedly and the grey thing blocked out the light as it travelled down the orb. (It reminds me of a light in a lighthouse that has a sheet of metal the rotates around the light, momentarily blocking it out so that it appears to flash) It was like that, and you could tell the light itself wasn’t flashing. (I initially thought it was birds like I said, flapping their wings and that’s why it appeared to have that flashing appearance) But it became apparent that it wasn’t birds when I noticed the spacing between them was too perfect, they were in a perfectly straight line (except the second to the last one), they flashed in perfect sync with each other and they were flying so high in the sky that I don’t even think birds fly that high). I continued to watch the lights until they were no longer visible. They were actually traveling northwest, so as they continued across the sky they were no longer flying parallel to my car they were flying away from me as well and the first few lights could no longer be seen and eventually they all flew too far away to see anymore. There was no sound, they traveled at a steady speed, they flew at a pretty high altitude but were very easy to see and maintained the same altitude throughout the sighting, they appeared to be pretty large and very bright! They were very noticeable even in the daylight. I was able to see them from the side and from behind when they flew away, but they looked the same all the way around just a ball of bright white light, no structure could be seen. I was a police officer for 13 years and by nature skeptical and observant and have tried for 2 days to come up with a rational explanation for what I saw, and cannot come up with anything! They were not aircraft of any sort because they made no sound and were flying way too close together and were too perfectly spaced out to be anything I am aware of. Also, I noticed that someone reported a sighting to this site that appears to be the same thing I saw, their sighting was on 11/25/14 in Oklahoma City, OK. According to their report.

I couldn't sleep. I had too many thoughts about starting my garden. I was in bed right by the window. Even though the blinds were mostly shut, I could see a tremendous beam of light very close and part of a vehicle or hovering device that had shades of blue in the shape of like a transformer, or cubicles attached to one another. It made no noise. It hovered with beam seemingly targeted toward my house or my window. I froze, I had my phone about to call my son in another room. I remember giving an affirmation that no one is taking me. Before you know it it just disappeared sideways and I ran to my son's room and told him I was frightened as to what occurred. Of course he thought I had dreamed it, that I probably fell asleep and I said I rarely remember dreams and I couldn't sleep. I had too many thoughts about starting my garden.

Of course he thought I had dreamed it, that I probably fell asleep and I said I rarely remember dreams and this was so vivid. In all my years of being on this earth I had never been so frightened as to have to go to my son's room and had him hold me. Earlier about an hour prior to this incident I happened to observe a bright star go dim, fade and then go bright again. For a moment I thought maybe this was connected. That maybe it wasn't a star; maybe I was observed and then this thing just zoomed down out of nowhere. Whatever it was, perhaps a vision of a A vehicle instead of a vision of an angel, I certainly wasn't looking for it and it was very real to me.

Friday, ((sic. Thursday)) feb 5th, 2015, 8:15 pm, on interstate 8 between Gila Bend and Yuma Driving west on I-8 toward Yuma. Me and my Partner saw three glowing orbs about 5 miles south of us at aprox. 100 meters up. They hovered for about 5 mins, then quickly shot downwards and exploded into a cone of yellow light. No sound was heard, and no debris or dust was observed. this then repeated two more times with the three orbs appearing then shooting down and exploding. we were taken aback and thought maby they could have been some kind of munition and then things got stranger still. right after this sequence we saw two orbs appear static in the air at about 1000 meters. then two more equidistant forming a square . no movement just stayed put. then four more appeared forming another perfect square for a total of 8. we pulled off the road at exit 85 to watch what was going on. three planes flew into the airspace just going around and around the lights. they were orange/amber orbs almost translucent. they stayed in formation about 20 mins the disappeared.

One very large object diamond shape in the sky SW. It moved horizontally, slightly while one smaller object to its left. As the large object would move toward it it would back up. This went on for an hour. Then 1:00 am 4 other objects speared Below the large craft, quite a bit lower in an upside down T. They were moving extremely slow. I fell asleep around 2:00 am.

There was no sound at all. We spoke with the witness, and she seemed to us to be quite serious- and sober-minded. She will send more detailed information about the sighting, and she will arrange to have another witness, who stood with her during the sighting, send a second report, and the video he took. PD

We were on our patio talking and one of us looked up and said "look, what is that"? I looked up to see a boomerang shaped object in perfect formation with many white lights. To me it looked like a perfect bird formation flying high and glowing. It seemed too high to be birds and they were glowing light fluorescent. It also looked like stars in a perfect V-formation, moving across sky towards the North. One of us walked and kept up with it and it got smaller and smaller and then disappeared. It made no sound whatsoever. It seemed to be moving faster than an airplane. I am 54 years old and have never seen anything like this before. This is my first UFO sighting.
