Friendswood, TX
At approximately 1915 hrs., my wife came in the house to tell me to come outside. My wife pointed toward the Southeast, and we saw a very bright very dark amber light, almost red in color, coming toward us and overhead. The craft had no discernible shape but the lighting on the bottom had the appearance of a sliced in half pomegranate... At the time I didn't have any way to video it… I went back inside the house to lookup the telephone number to report the incident, and just about the time I was dialing the number, my wife came running back in the house very excited telling me there was another craft just like the first one. I grabbed my phone which has 4K video capability and ran outside to video this thing! I kept the image direct center of my screen and zoomed in and out for 20 seconds never loosing sight and maintaining a clear picture. After the craft had disappeared to the north, I played back the video and to my surprise, the video was scrambled! I took another video afterwards to check and see if my camera was working properly by pointing to the sky and the video was excellent! Evidently some type electromagnet radiation had disrupted my camera from taking a clear video image… I saved the video, so if you are interested in viewing I can send to you...

It seemed to be doing huge circles in the sky covering huge area probably over Washington. It was fairly close the began the circles moving farther n farther n farther. It changed direction a few times to where u could only see the red color. As if it might be the back? I woke up my boyfriend and he watched this with me for about half hour of he total hour. He has better eyes than me, he could see that it was trianglular shaped. When it light up in the clouds. I could barely see the shape.also 2x i saw very small sowcs come off the ufo. I didn't say anything thinking it was my eyes then my bf said he seen something come off it as well and i agreed i had too. This was no plane. Felt very in awe and a but scared. Third time n my life in or n wa i have seen something like this. But this was closest to where i could see the distinction of the lights. Not just the fast speed.and irregular movement

The other night, we smelled smoke and went outside to look around in doing so I looked up at the sky and noticed a strange twinkling what I thought was a star, suddenly above shot a white light across the night sky. My husband ran to get our binoculars and night vision goggles. We started looking and saw a few twinkling spots and through the binoculars there was blue, green, red, orange lights flashing on what I assumed was a alien craft. This evening we went outside and saw the same twinkling lights and as I looked I counted 11 crafts some of which the colors flashing brightly without any binoculars. With binoculars and night vision goggles we could see all the lights, our neighbors also stood outside with us looking at the many crafts scattered across the night skies. These crafts are very high in the skies sitting still as can be and completely silent. There were a few helicopters and airplanes what I could only guess to be investigating what we are witnessing take place. It's truly an incredible site to see the skies above covered in UFO's. I hope you find this information useful and I hope others have the pleasure of witnessing this amazing site as well. Thank You, ((name deleted))

Globe, AZ
I have a rather lousy picture (cell phone). I was observing the night sky at my cabin on El Capitan pass south of Globe AZ. The object (light) suddenly appeared and appeared to 'hover'. The object was pretty far away (possibly over San Carlos, AZ) and at a high altitude (40K ft? approximately the same altitude as jet traffic). What made it unusual is that the light suddenly appeared and it wandered slightly (was not in a fixed position in the sky). Occasionally, it would move slightly at seemingly high speeds as if to correct position or as it was having difficulty with a stable hovering position. It is not unusual for the military to perform exercises over this area. I do not wish to be contacted, just reporting what I saw.

North Charleston, SC
I was walking my dog and a shimmer caught my eye above me. When I looked up directly in front of me at @ 45 degrees, I first thought it was a birthday balloon. I quickly realized it was much much larger. I had on a very good pair of sunglasses and had a clear unobstructed view. The object appeared to be tumbling and moving from south to north. It reflected the sun intensely and intermittently. I observed the object for about 4 minutes until it vanished. I would estimate its size to that of a car. Altitude approximately 8-9000 ft. The object made no audible sound.

Wilmington, DE
We saw a missile type object shooting into the air, north of Wilmington, while preparing for our shift at work, all three of us thought we were firing a missile, we ran inside to check the news after the object dissipated to see if there was any others that seen it. after scouring the internet we didn't see any launches scheduled for today so we decided to post it here and see if anyone had any knowledge about this object.

As I said, the lights were solid, not flashing like aircraft lights. There were also many stars visible that, of course, weren't moving. Not sure what they were, but I've never seen anything like that. I'm really just curious if anyone else saw them, and exactly what they were. Thanks

Tonight at 10:00 p.m., I went out to look at the stars and immediately saw what appeared to be a satellite moving from south to north. After 5 or 6 seconds it became very bright, then it dimmed and there appeared to be a much dimmer light shoot out from the bottom. A few seconds later it became bright again and a large burst of flame shot out in two directions and then it dimmed again. It moved along for another 6 to 8 seconds, became brighter and there was another burst of flame. It then dimmed and moved further north out of visual range. It looked very much like a satellite if not for the burst of flame and change in brightness. A few moments later, I saw another light, which was clearly a satellite with no bursting flames or changes in brightness.

I went outside and looked up not sure why. saw 2 smaller multicolored silent flashing arrays traveling east.a few moments after they were out of sight because of tree line a slightly larger object with brighter lights also silent passed dew west at a much faster speed. it was not the same as the others and did not appear larger because of proximity. it was different.the's sorts of activities may be viewed in the populated residential area on a semi regular basis. have been increasing over the last 4 or 5 years. could also I have just become more aware of this activity.

Zia Pueblo, NM
I was parked alone in the small dirt parking lot at the foot of the BLM managed Ojito Wilderness. The Ojito Wilderness is located in the Zia Pueblo, just west of San Ysidro, New Mexico. I had been watching a particularly vivid sunset, facing south from the bumper of my truck. As the last remnants of light disappeared over the mountains to the west, I absent-mindedly watched an aircraft crossing my field of vision, traveling SE to NW. The shape of the aircraft was indistinct in the low light, but it was visible by a blinking red tail-light, or what I assumed at the time was a tail-light. It appeared to be a conventional aircraft. It may have been 5 miles away, although distance was hard to discern. The craft then stopped on a dime. From beneath it, a dull golden beam flashed out as though a light switch had been flicked. Around the dull golden beam, what looked like an iridescent double helix circled it. This double helix was darker gold in color. It looked almost like suspended molten liquid. Both the dull golden beam and the double helix encircling it hung below the craft (This light extended maybe 100 yards or so beneath the craft) for about 15-20 seconds. They both disappeared in a flash, again as though someone had flicked off a light switch with the light seemingly receding back up towards its source. The craft hovered for a moment, identifiable by its blinking red running light, before engaging in point to point travel seemingly randomly in all directions. It continued like this for 30 seconds or so. When it finished ping-ponging around like that, the craft resumed a normal flight path, as it had maintained previously. It continued in a northwesterly direction and I lost sight of it beyond the silhouette of Mesa Prieta. Conditions that evening were decent. Cloud cover was something like 50%, with a large band of clouds passing through an otherwise clear sky. The clouds were higher than the craft, which at no point was obscured by them. The moon was not quite full.

Coming from US 30 south to Lex Springmill RD.. I saw a row of lights in the sky. They were too high to be parking lot lights. When I approched the traffic light at Lex Springmill, the craft passed over my car. It was really dark in the sky. I saw real bright lights, blinding bright. When it when over me.. There were no tail lights. No side lights,, just the 8-10 lights in front. No sound and it blended in the dark night sky.

I called the neighbor to have him look, and they told me they witnessed it a few days before, as well. After approx. 20 min., it slowly dimmed and floated away. I have spoke to a few more neighbors and they too have encountered the UFO. I also witnessed a smaller object reminded me of car headlight but dimmer floating across the area several times. Stopping and going. Never landing

I saw a light reflection on my windshield, thought it was from dash, but driving on for a minute, realized that it could not be. I decided to look up and nothing, then decided to lean forward and look up and saw a ufo above my car with red, blue, green and white lights (bright in nature). After looking up at it, it moved to my left above tree line, parallel to me at same speed as I was going. At that time I opened my window and there was no noise from craft. The road curved, it followed a straight line and I lost sight of it.

Elkhart Lake, WI
There was a very bright, unmoving white light in the night sky. It was far too bright to be a star. About two minutes of appearing stagnant, it started moving at a decent speed to the west. However, when moving, it was a constant green light with a flashing white light unlike common airplanes that have white with flashing red. It went out of view not too long afterwards, and the shape of it was hard to tell. Date may be flawed. Witness may have intended to indicate a date of June 4th, not May 4th, but we have no means of contacting the anonymous source, give that he/she elects to remain totally anonymous. PD

Edgewood, NM
Around 10 pm I saw something go hauling a** east of Edgewood, NM, thru the sky. Direction of flight was South to North. Whatever it was was moving much faster than any other aircraft overhead. It didn't have a tail or a streak. I do not believe it was a falling star as it contunued its path direction until out of sight, and showed no evidence of losing altitude.

My home girl and I were hanging out one night on Mt. Charleston, and all of a sudden, a light appeared above us. But it wasn't like a typical helicopter light, it had a greenish hue to it, which is non standard police helicopter searchlights. We both turned to each other and ran away from the light. We heard a low whirling noise follow us for about 5 minutes and the light and noise disappeared. We are still shaken about this and haven't told anybody what happened that night.

Like many nights, I'm watching the sky. I noticed something out of the corner of my eye, and when I turned to look, I saw a very bright light and it went out. It came on again within 2 seconds. I didn't think much of it since it was in a high flight path for airlines. In between the light flashes, the object didn't move much more the a passenger plane would have moved, it flashed one more time and I never saw any lights again, it just disappeared. I noticed there were no other navigation lights. No red or green nor a flashing white. this flight path was west to east and would have to be 10 to 30 thousand feet. No contrail was observed. No sound heard. I would describe the light as very bright like a helicopter landing light. The light was to my south and between 75 to 80 degrees, almost overhead. Within about 1 minute there was a plane making an east to west pass almost on a reciprocal course and altitude, all lights were visible, you could hear it, there was no comparison between the two. I spent 2 years active duty in the navy. I was trained in lookout techniques, and was a radar operator in the combat information center for most of my service.

We see no evidence in the photo that is suggestive to us of the presence of aliens, or alien spacecraft. We are still corresponding with the witness. PD

I was at a friend's house sitting on his front porch busy street busy area. Talking about random stuff video games, etc.. He was like hey look at that, I'm like what ... look right there he pointed out a weird flashing object kind of strobish and similar to a plane flash but much brighter. I said that's a plane he said no look how it's moving. From where we were sitting he had a telephone pole to our right on an angle so we eyed it up with the pole to see which way it's moving if it even is moving and sure enough a couple of seconds after we did that it started moving. In between the bright flashes, within a mili second of each one, we saw it in one spot then wam it was at least 1,000 yards (from our eyes, could be miles in the sky) but away from its original position. We had a hard time keeping up with it in between flashes and moving irradic from left to right up And down. Nothing that a plane helicopter or drone in today's world that's known to the public can move with such speed and agility. Literally between its flashes, which was absolutely in under a second, it was in a totally different spot far away from the last position. We watched do this for at least 15-20 minutes moving around. Then it started moving a little farther away from us south east direction but still very visible with the flashes so bright. But now it would flash then go dark completely no lights and show up in a totally different spot then it was like before. We knew by then it wasn't a normal plane especially because there are a bunch of planes flying in the sky and you see their regular flashes . So we were asking ourselves how do these planes not see see this and move out the way or change course, but the way this thing was moving, it couldn't be near them at the speed in which it moved. Then, after a minute or so of it going dark, a flashing, then dark again, moving to different spots. It started flashing and rising up and just hovered while flashing. Then lit up solid blue or white kind of like a floodlight, but nothing projecting down like you see with other common flood lights or search lights on commercial equipment, it just lit up whatever this thing was. And for the way it reflected off the object it had to be a light colored object (white light with grey object projects a blueish color). It was fully lit up for about a good 25 seconds went completely dark again then within a mili second we saw the flash of it farther away from where it was lit up which is farther away from where we were. So more south central south east . The only thing out that way that it could be as high as it was a project that bright of a light is fort dix combined base no other airports or private places for such a thing in that direction then fort dix joint base. And in that direction depending on which part of the base is a given 30 to 80 miles away from us. So that thing was bright . After it headed farther away and disappeared me and my friend went to go get food took about 10 minutes or a little over got back to his house sat on the porch ate an we were still talking about it we never seen anything like it definitely unexplainable when all of sudden we saw it again back in the same area where it was before moving all over and flashing but did not light up solid or hover. Just kept flashing then went dark and it was gone. We sat outside for another 20 minutes looking at the sky, never saw it again or anything like it, just saw your normal plane passing by . It was truly amazing how it moved liked that in a blink of an eye. A night to remember never saw anything like this here before hopefully someone else saw this too and didn't blow it off as a plane it was anything, but I know the area very well and seen everything from regular helicopters to police helis, blackhawks An your military crafts fly by all the time with lights on and off day and night just as common as your regular plane and you can hear these far away aswell as a very lit up landscape from homes ect so to be that bright to outshine everything else wow . . This thing had no sound and moved like no other craft known to the public could truly remarkable experience I will never forget.

We stepped out on our deck to smoke a cigarette, and I noticed this red light in the sky is was coming from the north and heading south it was moving very fast my husband yelled for me to get my camera and I recorded what we saw at first there were like 6 or 7 of them and they would slow down and disappear in the clouds and then a few seconds later another one was coming moving very fast and then another one this lasted about 13 or 14 minutes I took some videos and post them on Facebook to see if anybody else saw this I watched the news and I didn't hear nothing and friend told me to repot it to a ufo web site these were no airplane as I live close to the airport airplanes make a lot of noise there was no noise it was quiet the also had a red glow to them I really don't know what they were but I figured it wouldn't hurt to find out.
