I happened to look up while standing outside and I saw two lights that seemed to look like a part of a constilation. The began to rotate slightly clockwise while slowly disappearing to the south east night sky. The two lights seemed to pivot one another and then in an instant they vanished!

The object was small enough to be a butterfly- (definitely NOT an insect.) It was "bowtie" shaped and the color BLACK. fast moving and seemingly attracted to the electronics in the household of which it was flying in. SIDE NOTE; Air traffic Seemed to be busier then usual. Strange and disturbing indeed…

Williamstown, MA
Driving east across Petersburg Pass on Route 2, 100 yards past the Mass border with NY. Hovering on the west side of the road about 200 feet high, above a heavily forested area, was an object I could not identify. The top section of the object was a bright red/orange donut shape about 3-5 feet around. Below the donut, a 5-10 foot long white pyramidal spike shape pointed at the ground. The spike had either 3 or 4 sides; I could not tell for sure. I observed it for about 3 to 5 seconds before our car went past it and we went around a turn. At the first opportunity, I turned around a few hundred yards further in a parking area and went back up toward the top of the pass to try to see it again. However, it was no longer visible.

After a few minutes of crafts flying around, what appeared to be a military aircraft flew between the other 4 crafts. My attention was taken away for about a minute, and when I looked back up they were all gone.

Possible sighting of a "twinkling" star, or perhaps Venus, we wonder. PD

I was driving towards town from the Kivett/Old Randelman area and first I saw a yellow/orange light that went across the sky from right to left but I was sure it wasn't a shooting star because of the speed and the fact that it almost looked like it appeared from a different dimension and disappeared within 4 seconds. Within a minute I was still driving in the same directions and I actually slowed down to keep focus on the road and sky back and forth and sure enough another light came to my sight, except this time it came from top to bottom and it was white for about 80% of the time, then as it looked like it got close to crashing or hitting ground, it turned into a few different hues of green and then yellow/white and it looked like it dissipated or hit water because there was no explosion or light where I expected to see it light up.

Warren, MI
Often, I sit to to take nature pictures, of any sort, at the back of my yard that overlooks a river and a beautiful woods on the other side. This morning (10/15/17, 11:20 AM) I heard the whine of a large passenger airliner approaching from behind me. This is not uncommon, as I am more or less on the flight path for planes landing at Detroit Metropolitan Airport. But because of the whine, I thought it to be quit low, it was unusually low due to the very overcast sky. As it passed overhead, I thought I should have taken a picture of it, just to do it and then erase it, though I didn't. Then off to my right I saw what I thought to be a small bird fluttering along in the wind, a distance away, maybe a leaf, it didn't drop at all, must have been a bird? If I had tried to photograph it I'd of been able to zoom in on it and be able to tell. A few second later, looking now of to my left (which 3/4's of a mile away is the General Motor Tech Center) I see what might be another bird. Well, I'll see if I can find it in the viewfinder when zoomed in on and get it focused and get a picture of it. It, due to its distance, looked still quit small and a little strange, like its wings were drooped downward kind of low. I took the picture, quickly hit viewer to see how the picture looked, zoomed in on it and it look very strange, like an number 3. I then quickly pointed the camera to the north, then finding it again, took 4 more pitures. It looked like Number 3. It's hard to tell how how big it is, how far it was away and how fast it was moving. My guesses are it was ¾ to 1 ½ miles away. If it was ½ to ¾ of a mile away. Because of the time between the first picture and the second picture being about 30 seconds it was traveling at 30 to 50 mph. If it was a half mile away my guess is it was 10 to 12 feet long.

On 10/13/17 around 16:20 I, my uncle and Dad were out side talking. I t was a very clear day blue sky’s. I look up and saw a strange craft just hovering. It was way beyond any plane or helicopter reach. It hovered about 5 minutes. My uncle and Dad both saw it and we where trying to see if it had a rotor blade or wings. The craft had know wings or blades and didn’t put out any emission. It finally started to move at a very slow pace and it finally got out of our eyesight. From what I could see the craft was a shining metallic color and had a shape Like a kernel of corn with a point. When it left from hovering the point on the craft was moving forward.

Stratford/Bridgeport, CT
Two orange/yellow craft of unknown shape: 1 was over Long Island Sound, and 1 was over land to the west looked as if they were moving in search pattern ... Note: I've lived in the area for numerous years. I am aware of the airport and Sikorskys. I also know the difference between civilian and military craft, and I'm also very knowlegable of how craft move this was something else.

Rathbun, IA
I observed what appeared to be a planet, about the size of the full moon, during a partly cloudy day. It was mid-afternoon and about 45 degrees up in the South sky in the area of a popular lake here in the country. This had a bluish color with wide orange bands around it but was only visible for such a short time before the clouds covered it. I was riding a motorcycle at the time and wasn't able to cell photo it. There were other people riding their bikes around a short distance away from me, but I didn't it was visible so briefly that I had no proof and didnt say anything about it. I have had a few UFO experiences prior, but this sighting looked like a stationary planet way above the clouds. I was later surprised that no one else had reported it to my knowledge. About a year after that, I saw a bluish tint in the sky at about the same position again on a mostly cloudy day. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Before people start reporting a UFO at this time a Space-X rocket was sent up from Vandenberg AFB at this time. It went from northwest to southwest. It was a moving dot in the sky until the stage separation, which appeared as an amorphous "puff". Then, a small dot moving again.

Waianae, HI
As I was leaving the house, I noticed something very bright in the sky. It was so bright, it couldn't be ignored. I looked up and seen a eye shaped (with ends) one pointed upward and one pointed downward. The sky was pitch black, a few clouds around but not in the area of the object. The object was a greyish/purple color, couldn't be a could as the clouds were way darker in color. In the middle of the object was a single bright light, never flashed but remained constant. It moved in a sidewards motion very slowly. I noticed as it moved, it started slowing disappearing. It took a quick second until I noticed it was gone by the Hakimo side mountain.

Touring Paris taking pics. I actually did not notice them when I took pic and I know your site says not to report if that’s the case. However, the pic is in live view and the three, blueish lit, half sphere objects are moving when the camera and background are not. It is weird that they move in perfect uniform and kind of look like hanging light fixtures… but again, they are moving and the background is not and we are outside so they can’t be a reflection through a window. Also, the height angle would be weird anyway. Additionally, they each have a small light in the top as well as the larger lights on the bottom. Light fixtures don’t normally have a light on the top. I don’t know. No idea. Thought I’d share. It’s been years but I’ve always wondered. I’m adding other pics taken same time and location that don’t have anything like it so it seems like my camera didn’t glitch. [NUFORC annotation: Camera Anomaly - Certain]

Dallas, OR
It was almost sundown. I was doing yard work in the back yard when I looked up. Noticed an odd flame looking orb gliding through the sky headed north. I watched it & took a video of it for almost 2 minutes as it cruised through the sky @ an elevation higher than a drone would be but way less than an aircraft. It was hard to distinguish the shape because it honestly looked like it was glowing bright orange & didn’t keep one specific shape. Very odd. It stayed flying linear until I couldn’t see it anymore but it was definitely the strangest thing I’ve ever seen. I know what I saw. My 2 minute video deleted itself once I went back to look at what I had captured & all I was left with was this short clip of the object. Note the trees to the left of the screen. It will give you an idea of how fast it was moving. Pretty incredible.

Gilcrest, CO
I was in Gilcrest, when two extremely dark tiny, comet-shaped clouds were spinning around. They went in an out of clarity, one even disappeared and reapeered. They then just suddenly vanished. I dont think the clouds were UFOs but they might of came from one.
