Reading, PA
Saw a white with blue and red lights, blue and red lights flickered from red and blue. It looked like some type of craft that moved as slot faster then anything I've seen in the sky before. Craft was making a clear buzzing noise. It would stop for a few seconds then move across the at very quick speeds. After about 4 minutes of taking video it disappeared. One short clip shows the bright craft with 3 other smaller white circular shapes. After it disappeared, one light which looked like a shooting star flew over top so fast. Faster than a shooting star a flew longer than a shooting star. My mom was the first to notice this object and once I noticed it, I started video taping it. Three other people stopped and asked if o saw the object plus the last white object that flew above. I told them yes and showed them footage I got of the object. I thought possible drone, however it seemed way to fast for a drone.

I was walking my dog and heard what I thought were fireworks. I looked up to where the noise was coming from and saw something in the sky. It looked and sounded like it was exploding. Sort of like the crakeling sound fireworks make as well as flashes of white light.. I noticed another "craft" parallel to the first one. It looked like it was waiting for it. The first one stopped "exploding" and I continued watching it, expecting it to fall from the sky, but it didn't. It, along with the other one, began moving east in the sky still parallel to one another. The first ones lights were much dimmer than the second one. The flew out of sight.

Atchison, KS
Object appeared to be at extremely high altitude moving from north to south without sound and at 2500+ mph. I could see it moving south for about 15 miles in less than 10 seconds then suddenly taking abrupt right turn heading west and disappearing from view in 2-3 seconds. It had one visible non flashing dim white light as it approached and two dim red lights as it flew west and vanished. Appeared to be flying near outer space. Sharp west turn seemed impossible for piloted flight within earths atmosphere at the incredible speed object was traveling. I guess it to be some type of space survellance craft because no sound detected.

Driving due west on Hwy. 36 it appeared I was getting close to it before I turned off. Strange enough I reported this unknown object in the hope's I could find an explanation.

Elk Mountain, WY
The sky was partly cloudy, and the temperature was about 36 degrees. I was headed east on I80 just north of elk mountain Wyoming about 515am. When I looked southeast towards elk mountain, I notice a dark cloud over it. The second time I looked, I seen 3 to 4 purple or blue flashes that flashed within the cloud in a sequence that lasted about a second which illuminated the cloud to a greenish color. I've never seen anything like this before. The event startled me so much I almost lost control of my vehicle.

Board Camp, AR
There was a big ufo sighting 2 weeks ago at the crystal mine in Board Camp, Arkansas. MUFON has been there but no one else can get in at this time. Does anyone have info on the event? We have tried to get a look but the site is locked down. What happened?

Mena, AR
The following describes an initial Light Event witnessed on February 18, 2017, reported to MUFON by phone, and was investigated by MUFON’s Special Assignment Team (SAT). Due to the fact that this location, Board Camp Crystal Mine, near Mena, Arkansas, has been the site of ongoing phenomenon and investigation since the February 18, 2017, MUFON investigation, this event was not publicly reported online until now. The reporting parties are the property owners and/or witnesses of the numerous ongoing events at this active location and are reporting for the benefit of public education and scientific research. In recognition of the one year anniversary of this event, which was featured in the October 2017 issue of The MUFON Journal, as well as featured on “Expedition Unknown: Hunt for Extraterrestrials” Episode 4 on Travel Channel, the witnesses (and property owners of the location) are officially publicly reporting this sighting as follows: On the night of February 18, 2017, at the property known as Board Camp Crystal Mine, near Mena, Arkansas, the 3 eye-witnesses (2 of them being the property owners) were standing on a hill gazing out over the crystal mine property. About 10 pm, about 900 feet south of where the witnesses were standing, the witnesses saw a glow of white light appear at the treetops of the horizon silhouetting the treetops from behind. Three large white vertical beams of light appeared out of the glow, seeming to be 30 feet wide and seeming to shoot up to about 300 feet high above the ground. The beams were described as being flat across the top, and appeared for a duration of about 10 seconds, then disappeared, and the glow receded back into darkness. There appeared to be no lights at ground level and no sound of a vehicle or animals. The witnesses were astonished by the sighting, thinking it was man-made, but not understanding how it could be, as it would be difficult for a vehicle hauling 3 large spotlights to enter the fenced rural 40-acre property without being noticed. Although a small airport is located about 8 miles west of the location, directly south of the Event Site, there is nothing but undeveloped land, no roads, etc. The next morning, thinking they might find evidence of a human visit such as footprints or tire tracks, the 3 witnesses visited the crystal mine pit where the sighting occurred. To the witnesses’ surprise, there was no evidence of a human visitation, but all metal objects such as fence posts and tools were noticed to be affected, characterized by movement of the objects from their previous positions. MUFON was contacted by a third party and the witnesses were phoned by Arkansas state investigator Race Hobbs. Because of the credibility of the witnesses and the strong physical evidence left behind after the Light Event occurred, MUFON sent the SAT to investigate, led by Chase Kloetzke. Race Hobbs accompanied the SAT. During the SAT’s examination of the metal objects with various devices recording readings for radiation and! electromagnetism (EM), it was confirmed that the metal objects at the Event Site were not only magnetized, but also polarized, and EM and radiation levels were increased. Soil and rock samples were obtained and all information was forwarded to various labs for professional analysis. MUFON has since issued a full investigative report. Other affected items (narrative): All metal objects at the Event Site: fence posts, a large metal sign, plastic bucket with metal handle, hand mining tools, were affected, either moved from their prior locations or positions, were magnetized, and also polarized when readings were taken by MUFON investigators, and continue to be to this day, one year later. Other metal objects, introduced to the site, since the event, when left touching the ground, became magnetized and polarized also. (note: see MUFON.com report #90288)

Chillicothe, OH
My wife, seven-year-old and I was on SR 50 heading west in between Chillicothe and Hillsboro at 7:50 pm today (2/15/2017), and we spotted a U.F.O.(s) We were driving along, when I saw 3 lights in a row spaced evenly straight ahead of us. The lights were a dimmer yellowish color (not a super bright white light that you would hear about). I can’t really figure out how to explain the size. They were way larger than any star I’ve seen. Maybe the size of a half dollar held out at arm's length. Another set of 3 lights then appeared relatively close by those (roughly a 12-inch ruler held at arm's length away from the first). The first set of lights then turned off one at a time then came back on in a diagonal slant then they went back to horizontal. Once this happened a bunch of lights appeared that was the same color but roughly 1/4 the size of the 3 in a row ones and flashing randomly. Honestly it almost seemed like they were coming from the larger lights. The larger l! ights then began to blink on then of one at a time again and the smaller lights went farther away until I couldn’t see them anymore. The larger lights turned off or disappeared at the same time too I but did not seem to recede. This sighting altogether lasted about 90 seconds to two minutes. I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that I’ve witnessed something unexplainable.

Strathmore (Canada), AB · Canada
Witnessed in Strathmore, Alberta, in the night sky over Calgary in the sw, bright light in sky looked like a star grabbed my telescope an when I looked I can describe it as a sand dollar like you would find in the ocean. It was on its side, the size of a quarter of the moon its pulsed gentley reddish. Once in a while black circles would pass over the surface in a way it distorted the surface. Half the time there was this bright light behind it jaded in shape not smooth shape. It appeared to shift up and down and from side to side, it move out of sight heading west heading down over the horizon. Venus?? PD

I looked at Cassiopeia, and from behind the evergreen tree, it was ? few degrees east of polaris when i spotted it. it was slow, not a comet, not a meteorite. no tails, and in Earths Atmosphere.. LOW. 1000-2000 ft?? a BRIGHT, NON BLINKING bright white light. It looked like a Star.. floating, heading East, South -East direction, I know Venus..or is it Jupiter in the West?.. on of the two, but this was BRIGHTER than that. .. i ran inside with my lit cigarette, grabbed my crappy camera,.. its ALL black on the screen. I said DAD, theres a UFO floating East! Got back as it was floating east still, but dimmer, Thought my camera was on pic mode, but it was on video mode,.. maybe someone can fiddle my settings,. but it was gone! about 8-10 seconds after i pointed my camera where it was going.. Blinked Away.., grabbed! the binocs, didnt see a thing!.. Lots of planes flying out that way now. Man, that was heart racing!, sadly my dad cannot coreroborate my story.

Hurdle Mills, NC
Hello, I wanted to share something that happened to me on February 10th, 2017, at around 7:15PM EST. On Friday around 6:30PM I left my house to go pickup a pizza we had ordered for dinner. I made the trip there with nothing abnormal, began the trip home and seem to have lost some time. After making a left turn onto NC RT49 in Roxboro, NC, heading back to my home about 9 miles away, I remember seeing a section of the road where after the left turn, the road has 4 lanes. About a mile or two after that the road narrows to 2 lanes and its around another 8 miles to my house. I moved here about 3 years ago, so I am usually looking around at landmarks, way points, or familiar sights to keep me aware of where I am. During this trip home I remember the part where the road changes to two lanes, but have no memory of what I saw during the trip home until I looked up, saw lights in the sky above me, and realized I had driven passed the road my house in on, and driven another 8 miles or so. I onl! y remember seeing the lights above the road, and had to sort of hunch down in the seat to see them above the road. At that point, I realized where I was, looked at the clock and it was 7:28PM. I thought maybe I had fallen asleep, but the road has some curves-twists that could not be navigated without some sort of intelligent control. I have no idea what happened, but thought I needed to tell someone about it. Thanks, Scott Horner

Eagan, MN
On hwy 13 westbound heading towards 77, I saw a bright light in the sky far away and high up in the west sky. It remained much brighter than an airplane and was against the sunlight. The light became very intense for about 1.5 seconds and went back to just bright. I thought perhaps it was a meteorite entering the atmosphere but then the object seemed to maneuver around through the clouds (far distance away). The object stopped being bright for several seconds and looked simply dark. There was another object near the first objects location, both moving around very quickly and far away from my location (possibly several miles), both identical in appearance but not in sync. When the first object reached maximum brightness, my heart dropped, this looked like nothing ever seen before and its movements felt playful in nature, as it maneuvered through the clouds.

Norton, VA
Three strong, pulsing lights hovering in sky North of Orton, in the direction of the operational coal tipple one red light in center, in between two white lights. Craft was completely stationary. I stood, watching for 45 - 60 seconds. I stepped inside for 10 seconds to grab cell phone to record, but craft had vanished.

Tucson, AZ
I was in my back yard on the 8th of Feb. 2017. I do amature astronomy and am outside many nights. I saw what I thought was an airplane at first coming from the south east. As it came closer I noticed it had no blinking lights. It was just one very bright red light. It was so different than anything I have ever seen that I called for my wife to come out to see what she thought. She was also puzzled as to what it could be. It proceeded to fly overhead just south of our location and toward the west. While it was in the western sky at about 40 degrees over the horizon the light sputtered off and on about 4 times, in about an 8 to 10 seconds period then went completely out. There was no sound coming from the light and the sly was clear, no clouds and an almost full moon. I would very much like to know what could cause such a light. I have ruled out stars, airplanes, helicopters, satellites, space station and satellite flares. Even ruled out a rocket since I don't! believe rocket launches go over Tucson. It traveled several miles across the sky so it was not a civilian drone. Could it have been a military drone? I have no idea what it was.

I saw in the northeast sky over Arnold PA an orange glow that lit up the overcast sky. I couldn't tell if it came from above or below the cloud cover. It occurred twice. Each time lasting under a minute.

As I kept watching, I saw them both become larger and fuzzy looking. They then came together and quickly split apart. They then slowly moved further apart and were no longer following along with the plane as if they became stationary or began moving in the opposite direction. I then lost them from view as they got too far behind the airplane.
