Lenni, PA
I took Astro-photos back in November. I just realized the other day that there are multiple objects moving through the field of view. Not sure what they could be. Here is the url of the 18 images assembled into a video: https://www.flickr.com/photos/52623957@N02/39523150454/in/dateposted/ We have watched the video, and a number of very small objects appear to pass across the bottom of the screen, moving from right to left. We do not know what the objects are. PD

Capitola, CA
Was facing SW and seen a dim patch of glow with haze around it. From where I was standing it seemed far and near. Observing it at first was like trying to look at a star when it's cloudy out. It started out small and white then it grew and expanded to bright white light and looked like a very large comet. Then it slowly faded back to a small glow haze, almost completely invisible. Within thirty seconds it started glowing again and more intense into a bright orange, and red color. Had a rounded blot shape which split into, which I could best describe as, "two odd shaped balls of energy." It got harder to see as it seemed it was getting farther away repeating the dim/high glow pattern. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Wadsworth, OH
I then ran inside, dropping my bike and yelling curses at my family about what I just saw. I then googled the hotline and talked to a man who rushed me and kept asking if this was a prank. It's not. My mom and older friends claim to have seen these all around Ohio, always flying northeast when spotted. After I hung up, I heard a thunderous sound that lasted about two seconds. It almost sounded like an echoing whip snap sound. And now I'm here watching my cats stare at the sky with wide eyes.

Warren, MA
I could only hear it. It was a slow moving craft that sounded like a dryer machine with no propeller sound. It made three trips around my area.

Cleveland, OH
Two fighter jets flying at very high speed from Lake Erie south over a neighborhood just west of downtown Cleveland. They disappeared to the southeast. I, and some other ground observers, wondered what they were chasing, or where they were going. Weird. This is not a typical aircraft exercise area. No. No UFOs seen. Just in case someone else saw something at that time in the Cleveland area.

Salem, OR
I heard a buzzing sound like a swarm of bees and was looking up into the sky. I caught a glimpse of the craft moving sideways and tail lights that were red and aqua blue set into the craft just like an automobile. It was heading west and disappeared into the clouds.

Los Altos, CA
Walking down my driveway, facing N/nw, I just happened to look up and saw what I thought was a large flock of birds circling, but seemed very high I could not make out size or type of bird. Than I began to notice that they would go from a dark to light color, but it was not reflective of sun, most of group was circling clockwise, but either side would turn whitish, not just group at “9 o’clock” position as if that how angled in turn, the 3 o’clock side would also go white. I pulled out my phone to record, and continued watching and the objects were fading in/out, then after about 2 minutes they all vanished. I went to watch the video and stupid me didn’t record!!! I did see a very high altitude plane fly over, maybe over 20,000 ft (lots of planes fly over to sfo, that pattern puts at 6000 over my house, so this plane much higher) but the object were definitely below this plane.

Delta, CO
There was a very large, dark craft flying low in the sky. Right before it flew over a strange screech was heard. There was a sound accompanying the craft similar to an airplane jet sound. It left as quickly as it came. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Broomfield, CO
Five lights to the south at about 8 thousand feet abode sea level were hovering and arranging themselves to make perfectly symmetrical geometric shapes. The lights went away after a minute of me witnessing this.

Philadelphia, PA
Second sighting in 2 days, different craft. Approximately 6:40 P.M. I Observed what can only be described as a gigantic dark, slow moving, silent object that’s only distinguishing feature was the reflection of the street lights on its surface. As it continued to move N to N-E, I lost its outline as a result of the bright street lights. It was very low to ground. Moments later 2 helicopters seemed to fly over the exact area.

Philadelphia, PA
On 11/10/17, at approximately 830 pm, in the NE direction of the Port Richmond section of Philadelphia, we spotted a pattern of bright strobing lights that can only be described as frantic. The object quickly disappeared over horizon. Sighting lasted 1-2 minutes. Cell phone video available.

St. Louis, MO
At 0430, I took my dog outside for a walk. I looked up into the sky and noticed 3 bright white lights in a "V" shape off to the SE. From my perspective, I would prognosticate that they were about 2-3 miles away. At first, it looked only moderately out of the ordinary and no sound was heard. About 30 seconds later the lights flashed a very bright pulsating red strobe light which last for about 5 seconds. I did not have my phone, so I ran to my apartment which was only 30 feet from my location at the time. I grabbed my phone and ran back outside. Upon return, the lights had traversed a significant distance South (estimate 15-20 miles) and maintained that distance for 1 hour. I did take pictures and video, however the lights were too far to render any valuable imagery. I continued to watch the lights hover and no additional strobe lights were observed. During this time a total of 5 white lights could be seen in a linear pattern and would turn on and o! ff intermittently. At 0530, the lights dissipated and were no longer visible. No other individuals in the area were present to my knowledge.

Hokes Bluff, AL
I saw what appeared to be a cloud, shaped like a boat wake, that disappeared soon after it appeared. I could not see what made it because the “cloud” was so thick and billowy. It was headed due West and I watched it for about 5–10 minutes until it went behind the tree line. I saw the same “cloud” the next week in a video on Youtube. It was filmed in Romania. It as a black saucer shaped object. That was not what really caught my eye the most. It was being followed by groups of three “Foo Fighters”, or “orbs” as they are called these days. They would blink on and off and I never saw more than three at one time. There were approximately nine of then, because off to the Southwest there was another group of three “orbs” running a parallel course to the main group.

Coos Bay, OR
I witnessed 2 moving lights as high as the stars. Moving up and down and back and forth in a jerking motion. Flashing white lights. I watched for 20 minutes and they were still there. Out over the pacific ocean.

3 steady yellow/orange lights, 1 red flashing light, a reflection of a dome was above it as well.

Mount Washington, CA
Very bright light that crossed the sky from northwest to southeast in the Mount Washington/Montecito Heights area of East Los Angeles. It lit up the entire sky, but did not make a sound. Everyone in the surrounding neighborhood experienced power flickering, and/or power surges at the exact same time. It even blew out a few peoples’ cable and satellites.

Sheridan, CA
I didn't see any trails in the sky to indicate a jet had flown by. Within a minute or two of the boom, a U-2 spy plane took off and flew straight up until it disappeared. It is worth mentioning my 5 year old didn't hear anything. Him not hearing it blows my mind because not only did I hear it I felt the ground shake. He must of been to busy throwing rocks in the water. It was really amazing, because I haven't heard a sonic boom since the late 90's and that was reported as the blackbird.

Long Beach, CA
I saw a huge white orb over my house in Long Beach, CA, on October 21, 2017. At first I spotted two objects crossing path's with each other then focused on the larger one. As I zoomed in on my camera the UFO started ejecting smaller spheres into the atmosphere. The first ejection formed a triangular formation! As I kept filming the object started emitting tons of orbs falling in a steady stream from the main object. There were at least 40 smaller spheres emitted from the main UFO. Interestingly the smaller orbs were only visible through my infrared camera. This was recorded with my full spectrum Canon SX60 with a monopod in my backyard in Long Beach CA. The first part of the video shows the raw footage and the analysis of the capture is presented in the end of the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCldZk3oBWY&feature=youtu.be&t=1s Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Orange Park, FL
We were standing on our patio between 21:15-21:30 last night. We saw a blue-green moving across the sky from east southeast to west southwest. The sky was clear. There were 2 airplanes visible in the sky at the time, which is normal, since we live close to NAS-JAX. The object looked very similar to a bright star, but slightly larger and brighter. It did not blink and did not appear to twinkle at all. It was larger and brighter than any stars visible at the time. I would estimate that from our point of view, it appeared similar in size and brightness to the north star. We did not hear any sound. It moved very quickly but did appear to slow down for a few seconds one time before resuming its previous speed. The object stayed on the same path making no turns for the full time it was in view. We were able to see the object very clearly from the time it appeared on the horizon to our east all the way through its path to the western horizon, until it became too faint in the distance. We have a lot of military and civilian aircraft traffic in our area and are very aware of how they behave in the sky. Any aircraft that was close enough for its lights to appear this size and brightness would have been very easy to hear. The speed of the object could not be matched by any of the fighter jets that we commonly see. Any aircraft capable of this speed would not have been silent if it were flying low enough, and close enough, to appear this size in she night sky. There were no additional lights as would be expected on a plane or helicopter either. An object with this speed and brightness flying high enough to be inaudible would have to be absolutely massive. I thought it may have been the International Space Station but that was supposedly only visible during a 2 minute window over 2 hrs. before this sighting and would have been moving in the opposite direction according to the NASA website.
