Mossyrock, WA
We have a house in the middle of the country. We have big windows. At about 1 am, three circular blue lights appeared very close to our window, could not see anything but the huge lights out of nowhere (assuming the front of something, too dark to see anything else). I was shocked, looked at them for a second and then it completely disappeared from our windows. Very black outside,could not see nothing else. We did not hear anything either. There is no explanation, had to be a UFO, still in shock. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Orangeville (Canada), ON · Canada
Driving into Orangeville, Ontario, going south on 2nd line at approximately 23:00 hours my girlfriend and I saw a bright light (like a bright star) southeast of town. It seemed to be hovering over the water tower in center of town. We stopped and watched for about 5 minutes when 6 smaller objects appeared to come out of the bright light and fly in different directions. Each of the six objects had a blue & red light on them. They each flew in erractic up down sideways movements. At this point we got scared and turned around to drive home. My girlfriend saw one that appeared to be following our car and we immedietly went into the house. I went back outside and the object slowly moved over my parents home. Total time I observed the objects was about minutes.

Jupiter, FL
I had my phone and fumbled for a minute to try to find camera, and realized that the thing was moving so fast, and so I watched it continue north towards the Jupiter inlet, and at that time the fire/sparks ended. The thing was above the tree line from my view, but not high in the sky. I could not see a shape, and there was no noise. There were no headlights or flashing lights, like a plane, or helicopter would have made and there was no noise. I would venture a guess that it was about 1/2 mile to one mile west of my location

Dallas, GA
My son and I were outside walking our dog. I happened to look up in the NE sky directly above us and saw 2 dots tracking in an easterly direction. They appeared to be at an extremely high altitude and traveling faster than a normal aircraft at such a high altitude. They continued to track together. Neither my son nor I saw navigation lights flashing but only two solid white dots. What was so unusual was that the dots were too close to be aircraft traveling that fast with no navigation lights.

Irmo, SC
My husband and I went out to our back deck at approx 9:30pm (21:30) on April 22, 2017, to sit for a few moments. Upon exiting the east door to the deck we noticed the stars and Jupiter were quite bright and the moon was absent. We shut off our deck lights so we could observe the sky since we know there was a meteor shower last night but we're not fortunate enough to see any. I thought perhaps we would see some left-over meteors tonight, so we stood facing east on the back/side deck area with the porch lights out. To the south/south east is the city and it is brighter in that direction, there was also slight mist/clouds in that direction only (at that time). So, we both stood for a few minutes, and we both happened to be looking at the same thing, (which we did. It realize until we were shocked at what we saw) two identical stars of exact same brightness, from our distance they appeared very small and high up, white in color, and approx 2-3 inches apart (of course we were on the deck looking at the sky), seems like normal stars, I thought the clouds were moving in fast but as it was it was NOT the clouds moving it was the "stars." These objects moved exactly the same speed, were exactly the same size, exactly the same brightness, color exactly the same white, they appeared to never move erratically, they stayed exactly the same distance apart while moving, they both moved in the line of 2 at the same speed across the sky in an east/south east direction. When they were directly in front of us in the sky, over our east neighbors rooftop, looking east, they grew VERY BRIGHT, the light was not quite white at this point it was more pale yellow, they both brightened at the exact same speed, the exact same time, the exact same size, they glowed for approx 3 seconds and then faded back to "normal star" brightness or "average" star brightness, and they continued to move in the line of 2 across the sky at the same speed, never changing direction that we could tell, and staying the exact same distance apart. They never stopped, either. We watched these two things move out of view and fade until! we could no longer see them. They did not flash, blink, move strangely, or change movement, they glowed once simultaneously together very brightly. No trail. There were no sounds. I tried to get video but t was too late, and too dark. My husband is a technician, and I am an artist. We have 2 kids who were both in bed at this time. We were not drinking and we do not do drugs. We often spend a lot of time on our deck with our garden and chickens. We have never seen anything like this before. Not long after (about 10-15 minutes), I did see what appeared to be a satellite in the sky, similar to the above mentioned objects, but only 1, moving in the same direction, but directly above my head, it never grew bright or glowed, it remained exactly the same until it was out of site, and it also appeared to be moving faster than the other two objects so because it seemed different and much like other satellites we have seen, I assumed this third object was indeed a satellite but I thought I should mention it. Thanks.

Surprise, AZ
Flashing lights in the western sky. 1 toward the direction of Palo Verde, the other WNW of my position in Surprise, AZ. They are there "almost" every night in 1 position or another. The one to the WSW that was there tonight appeared to be in the vicinity of Palo Verde disappeared first. It was there for almost 2 hours and went out suddenly. The one to the west stayed there until it went down below the horizon as if to have a fixed position and went down like the sun would. This is NOT a rare sighting. It occurs "almost" every time I go out at night between the hours of 9pm and 1am. There are some nights when I see it to the ESE over Eastern Phoenix. When I do not see it, looking west, I see it looking to the ESE. I see them over the White Tank Mountains and they appear to be well beyond the mountains over the open desert. Helicopters do not have fuel capacity to stay in one spot for that amount of time and do not shut there lights off and go away. Airplanes fly underneath them and move in a direct flight line.

Stevenson Ranch, CA
We saw a white light with red and blue highlights pulsate from bright to dim to bright to dim, the fly across the sky to left, come to stop, shoot straight up, then stop. It then got brighter again, travelled across the sky from left to right in approximately 20 to 30 seconds, during which time the white light was pulsating from left to right and it got larger as it travelled across the sky. Then abruptly it stopped again, pulsed bright white and then shot straight up in the sky until it was nothing but a dim point of light. During the whole event, we saw airplanes going by and it did not resemble an airplane, nor did the lights function in the same way.

I was talking to my girl friend in Elsmere, Delaware, and went out onto my deck. I looked up and the clouds were lighting up with a ton of different colors. I asked her to step out and look and she did. She was seeing the exact same think I was. I tried to record on my cell but got nothing but our conversation. She was in tears telling me what she was seeing, but did not record any of the event. I made two recordings, but cannot see anything in them. Thought it was northern lights, but I was facing south. No noise. Colors red brown, yellow, blue, purple, and another color best described as black. No white lights at all.

Santa Rosa, CA
It was about 22 o'clock, Thursday. No rain. Clear sky. 49 yo female. I was walking with my dog. I don't image things. If I see, I say it. The sky was full of stars. Then, I see something is moving high enough for birds, too low for a plane. Almost invisible, the same color as a sky, looks like triangle, or bird with wings opened widely, but the size was too big for a big bird. I noticed, stars in the sky were missing when that object was passing them. Was an object! It was slowly, quietly, without lights, moving above houses to North. This happened in Santa Rosa neighborhood, close to little park, near to freeway 101. After it disappeared, I realized, that I had a flash light, and didn't use it. When I came back home, and stepped out to my backyard, I saw helicopters. I don’t use drugs, and I don’t drink neither.

i was playing basketball when I suddenly saw a fast kinda circular object with lights, I can't tell exactly what i saw because it was too fast and well above the clouds it passed through the other end of the horizon to the other for like 3-4 seconds I didn't saw much but i thinkit has a color red blue and white, you might say it's an airplane, but i know for sure it wasn't, it was too fast to be an airplane, maybe it's trying to camouflage, that's all i can say.

Sighting of Jupiter? We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she was uncertain as to which direction she was looking. We encouraged her to look in the same area of the sky, in order to determine whether the object is visible again. PD

Columbia, SC
At about 2400 hours, I witnessed a bright white light hovering over a house in my neighborhood. I was sitting on my front porch listening to music, and since I like to listen to aircraft passing, I decided to pull my headphones off. The strange thing was that there was no sound. This light was hovering over that house for about a minute or so. The light was very bright, but oddly enough, not so bright that I couldn't look directly at it. I'm located in the Columbia area, and I could tell that I was facing north when looking at this object. That bright white light shut off. What replaced that bright white light was a green and red light pattern. It's difficult to explain, but the lights appeared to be one and the same, and yet separate at the same time. This craft still didn't move and I could tell because it didn't appear to be getting bigger or smaller. I couldn't make out the exact shape of the craft, but I could tell it was big. It was like looking into the dark to see a blurry figure and you can't tell the exact shape but you can tell how big or small it was. This thing was huge. I'd say it was the size of a C-130. About 20 seconds after the bright white light changed to the green and red light combination it shot off to the East at a speed that was ridiculous. This was weird because it went from a stand still, to shooting off at such a fast speed. There was no build up to the speed. That kind of maneuver seems ridiculous because that has to be technology I've never seen before that allows an aircraft to go from a stand still hovering position to speeds I haven't seen fighter jets match. It didn't make sense how fast this thing was, and yet there was still no sound. I couldn't believe what I saw so I stood up and looked around for neighbors. I spotted one such neighbor who happened to be an Air Force veteran and we talked a lot because I'm an Army veteran. I asked him if he saw anything weird. He told me that for several nights he saw the same thing. He too said there was no sound to this aircraft he was witnessing. He said it didn't seem like a drone because drones don't move like what he saw and he thought it was weird he never heard any sounds coming from this object. I decided to call Shaw Air Force base. I got in contact with the command post. They said they didn't fly anything over my area. They got me in contact with McIntyre Air National Guard base. They said it could have been an Apache helicopter with "whistle mode" engaged. Now I'm no expert on Apache helicopters, but I have ridden in one before, and I've seen the so called "whistle mode" in action. That doesn't eliminate all sound nor does it explain the speed I saw. Even the person I was speaking with couldn't explain why this thing was so unbelievably fast. I'm not sure what I saw. I don't know what I saw. I just know that I'm a combat veteran who was deployed to Kandahar Air Field (KAF) and I've seen all sorts of aircraft. I've never seen anything like this before. That speed, the way the lights were so weird, the fact I heard nothing and the fact that the outline of this thing looked a heck of a lot bigger than an Apache is something I cannot explain. We spoke at length via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be quite eloquent, and serious-minded. We suspect that he is an excellent witness, and that his report is highly reliable. PD

Dover, DE
Driving north on RT 1 just south of Dover, DE. Clearly an airplane was visible low in the skyline. I was looking exactly at it and it just vanished. I said to my wife ((deleted--what)) was that...next thing I know it reappeared. Then I noticed that this full size plane was hovering not even a few hundred yards over a field. It literally hovered for a couple mins as we approached the location to our right. It did not move as we approached or while we passed. We eventually lost sight of it after we went past the location. I am of a clear mind and without a doubt it was the weirdest thing I have ever witnessed and I know for a fact that what I have described is 100% accurate.

Vallejo, CA
I was outside with a neighbor and crew members from the local Fire Dept. I saw a bright red light descending high over the sky like a flare. The weather was cloudy so the clouds surrounding it were lit up as well. I asked the fire crew what it was and they said a flare. I heard one guy say, "you can hear it, too." When I walked into a more open area and turned my head I could hear a muffled "roar." It was difficult to determine a shape, but maybe a upside "V" would be the best way to describe it. My neighbor said, "I don't know what it is but something is on fire." If was gone or disappeared into the clouds in about a minute. I contacted the police dept and USGS 12 hours later to see if there were any reports and they both said, "no."

There was a loud bang, like and explosion. When my friend and I went out and looked, we saw 3 bright lights, equally spaced. Then noticed a faint one of to the left, also equally spaced as if on the outside of a sphere. At first thought it could be Orion's Belt, but it is in the wrong formation and location.

On the early morning of Sunday, April 9, 2017, around 2:30AM, I was outside, smoking a cigarette, when I saw a stream shaped blueish green object come up out of nowhere and proceed to fly from the sky down to the earth with no collision and or impact from my knowledge. It made a very light "whoosh" sound, that was the thing that caught my attention was the sound and how subtle it was. It went towards the earth then disappeared before my eyes. During the event I w

My experience with this cloud was out of this world. Personally I had been going through some things. Defeated and heartbroken something said look out the window. Unaware of the beautiful present the awaited me outside, I looked out the window and was immediately mesmerized. The cloud had 2 contrails coming from it, my first reaction was is something going to crash? Once I noticed the this was not a cloud and something was going on I grabbed my phone and snapped two photos. Other than the contrails the cloud kinda just floated away, I called my family and told them I had experienced something very unusual, and I wanted to share my photo with the world. Something was watching me in my backyard and I don't know what it was! Photos of what appear to us to be contrails. PD

Williams, AZ
Event started in the night sky with the appearance of three bright lights, forming an almost perfect upside-down triangle, just North of Orion's Belt in the North-West sky. The triangle lights were of equal brightness and were too far apart to be from a single craft. The upper two lights would take turns moving in and out of formation for a good twenty minutes before cloud cover obscured them. About thirty minutes later red and white lights started to appear and move in strange and an unconventional like manner in the North-West sky. This was just North of where the upside-down triangle had appeared. The lights were many and zig-zagging in all directions. Later two military jets came in from the south and the strange lights just bounced all around the two jets. Eventually, they disengaged and headed back south towards Phoenix. By the look of their aviation lights they were probably F-16s. About ten minutes later another jet came in from the South-East. This single military jet look like an F-22 from its aviation lights. It headed in the direction of were the strange lights had last been seen. Amazingly, by the time this military jet had reached the location of the strange lights, the lights were gone. The fighter must have stayed in the area for a good amount of time before it also headed South. Later in the evening the three bright lights were back in almost the same location but the triangle was now pointing up with the lower left light being the brightest of the three. On a normal day or night, we have a lot of commercial East-West flights over our territory but not on this night. During all this activity there were no commercial flights in the sky to be seen. When I checked the commercial FFA flight logs on-line, all West and East bound flights had been diverted North towards Las Vegas; and, South towards Phoenix. The dogs and coyotes in the neighborhood had been making noise for days. Last night it was dead silence all night.
