Orland Hills, IL
A large, green/teal brightly lit craft appeared for 1-2 seconds flying very quickly across the sky and disappeared. It was much larger then air planes flying at the same time, but it was hard to see how far up it was. Some planes were even with it at height I would estimate, others well above it. As I was watching the sky it appeared from nowhere, and disappeared into nothing. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

This morning, Friday, July 28, 2017, around 11 am, I was sitting at my computer in my back bedroom. I could hear this strange noise far off and I was wondering what it was. At first, I thought maybe it was an airplane, but the sound was just so odd, I remain sitting as the sound became louder, I wanted to get up and go look out my sunroom window (like I usually do}, but for some reason, I just couldn't move! As the noise got louder, I could tell that it was coming closer to my location and it was moving fast. Finally I jumped up and ran into my living room and looked out my sunroom window, by the time I reached my window I could tell that it was passing over my apartments and moving fast. Once I pulled back my blinds I notice that the sky was hazy and there were 2 Gwinnett County Police Officers facing in my direction and looking in the sky. First, I was surprised because I had no idea that the Police was outside, and secondly I immediately notice them looking up in th! e sky with a shocked look on their faces. They seems shocked and confused and one of them had his mouth open like WTH is that!! I noticed that the noise had all of a sudden stopped and I could no longer hear it. I tried to scan the limited amount of sky in my view and that's when I noticed how "Hazy" the sky was. I watched the Police for a few minutes to see what they was going to do. They both stayed focus on the sky and finally turn to one another and started talking, after a few more minutes of talking, one got into his car and left and went to another locations by the security gates. The second Police officer stayed behind for a few more minutes, and then they both followed each other out the complex. I have no idea what they were looking at, but I'm certain that whatever that weird loud noise was in the sky, they saw it! No doubt in my mind because I can't forget the shocked look on their faces!! After they left, I called my cousin, who had gone to Publix grocery store to see if he heard that strange LOUD noise because I cou!d tell that it was coming from that direction (141& Holcomb bridge) toward me (Holcomb bridge Rd toward Peachtree Corners). He immediately said that they could hear it, but no one knew what it was!! There is a lot of strange objects in the sky in the Peachtree Corners area, on any day at any time you can witness them. I noticed that if you have sunglasses on, you will be able to see them clearly, I have taken my sunglasses off and I could barely see them, but once I put them back on, I can plainly see them. They do disappear, which makes it hard to capture them on video or take pics. I don't worry too much because I know I will see them again because they are ALWAYS flying around. I was able to capture one on video on July 10, however this particular object has been around for years so I wasn't too concern about getting the video but I decided to take it anyway before it disappeared because it will disappear on you and reappear somewhere else.

Orlando, FL
I was driving North on the 429 heading to Orlando at 2:16 AM, when I saw 5 lights in a straight line shining through the clouds. They were as big as the moon, but I could not see any objects because they were shining behind clouds. They were spaced equally, one object being able to fill the gap between the other. I figured they were spotlights from Disney, but I realized Disney was behind me and there was nothing else that would shine spotlights at 2 AM. I kept an eye on them, but they suddenly zoomed out as fast as a meteorite travels across the sky. I couldn't see where they went the first time as I was driving. A few moments later they zoomed back to their original formation. I put my hazards on and pulled off the road. I tried getting it on video, but it was too dark. They traveled in a straight line, but in slightly different angles so they were spaced evenly, but farther separated from each other when I looked behind me. I sat there watching them for about 10 minutes, but they finally zoomed out of view and never came back. They zoomed out and in probably 2 times in a span of 5 minutes. They mostly hovered. They disappeared for about a few minutes, but they came back and zoomed in and out for maybe another 2 or 3 times in a period of 5 minutes. I ruled out spotlights since they flew out of range that a spotlight has. It was apparent that they were behind the clouds, and not light being projected onto them.

Kokomo, IN
10 or more red-orangish lights squirmishing, then would vanish and reappear brighter and form a triangle. Some moved in a zig-zag motion, then would dart from left to right and then stay motionless. Half hour into witnessing this and all disappeared into thin air, after shooting upwards as a bright white light, 10 minutes later reappeared in same spot as they have been. They waited for a regular human aircraft to pass, then all but one disappeared while the one followed the airplane. It would follow right up to the tail and then stop, then follow again and then stop. Carried on for approxiamtely 2 more miles. My brother, fiancee, and I all witnessed this and are absolutely dumbfounded but amazed to have experienced another UFO experience!

Reno, NV
At around 1:35 in the morning, flashes of bright light started appearing outside in intervals. They would occur around every 5-7 minutes, and would fill up my whole room, along with all of outside. Around 20 seconds after the lights appeared a loud but distant explosion-type noise could be heard. This went on until around 2:10 AM. The lights have not occurred since and I was only able to fully witness the last two. It could not have been a lightning storm, because it has been clear all day, and fireworks would not have been bright enough.

Pleasant Grove, UT
They the disappeared over the mountain, as they went into clouds above the mountain. The circle formation they were in was rather spread out but not even. I have never seen anything like this before. I was so surprised, I told some of my family members the next day. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Roswell, NM
We were driving through Roswell at approximately 11:30 pm on our way to Santa Fe on US Hwy 285. My daughter noticed a flashing sequential light pattern to our right in the woods. The white lights were dancing around and when we felt like we were driving up on them they would move out of reach. There was also a light red light that appeared to be floating around. We thought it may be someone playing with a laser light beam, but the way it swooshed past us was unexplainable. We videotaped it and kept driving trying to catch up to it and it kept dropping around in different locations. At one point it moved to the other side of highway. Video indicates multiple strobing white lights, seen against a nighttime sky. We do not know what the source of the lights might have been. PD

I'm stumped because I just don't understand how my phone could pick up sound coming from a light, unless it was some kind of propulsion. Anybody have an explanation.

Whidbey Island, WA
As I was driving home from school with a friend, I decided to take a picture of the clouds as we drove over the Deception Pass Bridge. I took two pictures one right after another. It wasn't until the next day I noticed what I had captured on film. It was a round light source in the sky in front of the clouds. The Navy Base is about four miles from the sighting. This was not a plane! We haven't received copies of the photos, to the best of our knowledge. Possible lens "flare," we wonder? PD

Kenner, LA
It was on a trajectory that was increasing in height.....half the speed of an aircraft which is why it came to my attention. Why I thought it was the same as the one I reported on 7-4-17 was that it was pure black against the blue sky, then against the clouds. No shimmer of any sort. Military....perhaps, but very strange speed. I'm an amateur astronomer, and very well familiarized with aviation. I've seen a lot of strange things over the lake, I'm beginning to wonder!

Groton, CT
These contrails appeared to be about a 1/4 mile across. The row of 5 appeared exactly at the same time. The would stop, or skip, periodically in no apparent pattern. They would then suddenly begin again. They ended up moving away from to where I could no longer see them appear. I have seen airline contrails in the past. Even the highest planes were still visible. The contrails were always one continuous line of vapor. These today seemed to pulse. All 5 across appearing from nowhere. You can reach me at ((e-address deleted)) or 484-((telephone number deleted)). I have video and photos. The high-quality photos provided by the witness indicate to us that the contrails probably were formed by five "sky writing" aircraft, flying abreast. Not a UFO. PD

Donalds, SC
It is in the country, so there are no spotlights or businesses around to explain it, and if it had been someone in the woods, shining their flashlight, it would have shown around in the woods, also. After about 20 to 30 minutes, it was gone.

Rock Hill, SC
A bright light at first believe to be a star or perhaps a satellite. After viewing the object on our Skyview app, there was no satellite in the area at that time. The object moved slightly left to right and from dim to very bright. Object got brighter as it appeared to get closer.

Weed, CA
I was watching one of those flashing "disco in the sky" lights for a few hours, while outside on a porch with friends looking into the sky east past Shasta. It seemed very suspicious, as the lights were even flashing between colors, it was very far off and it stayed in a "constellation" with 2 background stars as the constellations rose from the east. At about 3:30am, a second flashing light flew up from the south, they did a dance, and the second one replaced the first one. The first one then greatly dropped altitude at around a 20 degree angle from vertical down and then took off straight east towards Nevada at a much lower altitude skimming the mountain top. Pretty much the only popultion center is the I-5 corridor so it isn't hard to do some basic trig to hide in constellations. Now that I've seen one of these they seem to be all over N. California.

Wakefield, MA
It could have been circular or square but not in the least similar to the shape of a plane. We both noticed it at the same time that's why it was so weird. It snuffed out and completely disappeared from the sky after about 10 seconds.

La Pine, OR
It was a bright blue sunny day when I was in my backyard when I heard two airplanes in the southeast sky. They sounded like they could be fire planes and since we live in an area of extreme fire danger we are always on the alert for fire activity this time of year. When I looked up and saw the first plane and it was moving to the south, at that time, I noticed a bright shiny object that looked like it could be in the path of the plane. When the plane passed behind the object, I realized the object was closer to me. That's when I noticed it wasn't moving at all, just stationary and not moving. I was trying to process what this was that I was seeing, another plane, helicopter, weather balloon etc. But I am sure what I was seeing was not any of those! As the second plane approached the craft was still not moving, and still in the same spot, and then all the sudden it just disappeared, vanished, gone!
