Madison, WI
I was driving north on Highway 51 just north of Madison, WI, at the intersection of Highway 51 and Windsor Rd. This is about 4 Miles north of Dane County Regional Airport. It was 8:30 at night and it was dark out. What I'm pretty sure I saw was a normal passenger type jet at the same height it would be as if it were coming in for a landing at the Dane county airport, but it wasn't moving. I thought it might be a helicopter at first, but as I got closer I thought it was much to big to be a helicopter, and when I got right next to it I could swear the shape was of a passenger jet and I could see the two jet engines under the wings. It had some red and white lights that were steady, and some red and white lights that were blinking. Nothing really seemed out of place except for the fact that it wasn't moving. I had it in sight for about 30 seconds I guess as I drove up to it and passed it. I turned around at the next exit a few miles down the road and drove back to see if it was still there, but it was gone by that time.

Anchorage, AK
This experience was played out as follows. My dad and I walked to a large field where we saw the unidentified craft, we saw it flying through the tree line like the trees were non-existent. It was the second time the craft came around that I pulled out my phone to start recording it, but my phone had died, and it was at 60% (my phone could never die with that much power left.) The craft seemed to patrol in the same manner as it circled around the snow-covered field. The shape was very odd, having a trapezoid-like shape with lights at the end of every point. Another detail I noticed was the peculiar hieroglyphic design on the bottom of the craft. The design was on plate with the mysterious hieroglyph etched into it.

Lava Hot Springs, ID
Dear sirs: At 10:10 pm, on Tuesday, the 14th of March, I stepped out side on my deck in Lava Hot Springs, ID, looking just to the right of north, toward the towns of Soda Springs ID, and Grace ID, I saw a set of bright lights. It appeared to be moving in a floating drifting manner, its movements were slow and smooth, it was over the mountains to the north of Lava Hot Springs, ID, about 45 degrees above them the lights looked to me to be in a set of three, one red, one yellow, and the other sort of white. I have seen a lot of jets, airplanes and helicopters, this was not one of them. When I first spotted the lights, I called my mother out to come see, while I grabbed my binoculars for a better look. The lights continued to drift to the left, and then to the right, then it seemed to move away. As it did, I saw a high flying jet plane with flashing red and green lights blinking and heading east. After the jet plane flew out of sight, the lights I was watching through my binoculars suddenly got bright, and then I saw it explode. I saw a large ball of fire and two large sparks fall beneath it then it was gone, all through this there was no sound, not from the object or the high flying jet plane, nor were there any noise from the explosion, which would tell me that it was a good distance from my location. I was in the U.S. Coast Guard for 8 years, I have been taught to judge distances. To me, this seemed to be about 12 to 15 miles away witch would put it just over the town of Grace, ID, just outside of Soda Springs, ID. The first thing I did after I saw the explosion was to call 911 and report a explosion in the sky just north of Lava Hot Springs, ID. I was told that they (the police would get back to me). If and when they do, I'll send word to you. After I called the police, I called the National UFO Hotline; they told me to use a word program and post it to the report form. Thank you for all of the hard work you have done! ((name deleted))

Phoenix, AZ
Walking east in a parking lot at Salt River Drive and Priest in Tempe, AZ, then looked towards Sky Harbor and noticed 2 large objects with multiple, much smaller objects around them. The person with me also saw these objects and neither of us could determine what the objects were. There were flashes from the smaller objects that were quite random and appeared to be reflections of the sun light. The objects appeared to be moving in a North, northwest direction, and behaving much like a balloon. It was very hard to make out the shapes but the 2 larger objects appeared almost diamond shaped while the smaller objects were just dots. The objects seemed to have a reddish color. I had to enter a building and by the time I was able to get to a higher floor, about 5 minutes later, there was no sign of the objects.

Hot Springs National Park, AR
So at this point i grabbed my phone to document this event.by this time these “lights” had move to where i couldn’t see them but another wave of lights flicker on.so i took multiple pictures and a video of the second wave of these light/UFO’s as i was taking video of the lights there is a airplane taking off and looks to fly thru or around these clusters of lights, as fast as the lights appeared they extinguished just as fast . Now let me say, i’m a disabled veteran from the United States Marine Corp. my MOS was in Aviation mainly helicopters. And i have worked Avionics on CRJ’s” Canadian Regional Jets”and a few aircraft repair stations here in town. Here are the pictures i took and the video. Note the video will need the light adjusted to see well. enjoy. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Lavallette, NJ
Six very bright redish/orange orbs hovering over the ocean. A ways out. Using binoculars, I saw 1 orb (far left) blinking off and on. They stayed in a line. 2 low 2 high 2 low very close together from my view point. I could also see what looked like an Enormous Cylinder far behing/in front?. Like a water tornado. Whatever it was was huge. Update: I was watching a documentary called "watchers 7 physical proof" to my amazement the video starts off with a scientist filming a ufo sighting off the coast of "Kumburgaz Turkey" the reason I mentioned this is because the 4 orange lights in that video ate exactly like the lights I saw, though I saw 6 lights. They were the exact same colors, the exact same formation, identical to the distance out over the water and the scientist states that it's a clear night with a very bright moon. That too was exactly the same as the night I saw them. Mine were off the coast of Lavallette, NJ, on 03/11/201, 7 you can research conditions. Crystal clear night, full or almost full moon. I have checked every night since, no luck. Watch that doc if you want to see exactly what I'm talking about/ they looked like.

Belpit, KS
Between ten and eleven p.m. in the second week of March, during a crescent moon which hung in the western sky, I thought it was a perfect night for stargazing. There is a mid-sized tree in the center of our backyard which obscrued any clear view. I seen that my best bet to have the clearest view of the night sky would be on the roof of our lean-to. After making myself comfortable, laying on my back and hands behind my head, I had a perfectly view to the north and southeast. I was able to see clearly to the south at about 35°. The roof of our house blocked everything beneath that. To the west, there is several thirty to forty foot trees, which were bare of leaves, but still making it too cluttered for a decent view that way. The moon was showing through those trees, and was in the sky at about 75° when I first settled in. The stars were very bright that night. And for early March, it was very comfortable to be outside. Completely still, no wind whatsoever. I had probably been stargazing between 45-minutes to an hour. The moon loomed at 30° in the western sky. Four dim white lights coming from direct south on a straight northern route, flew right over the house. They passed directly above me as I lay on top the roof of the lean-to. The Orion constellation was to the southeast, which was my focus at that moment and my clearest view of the sky. The lights cought my attention the moment they appeared over the roof of the house. I'm guessing within a quarter mile or so south of the house. The four lights were dim, white, and appearing to be two seperate objects moving at a fairly quick pace and very close to each other like in a wingman formation. I have no idea how the objects were shaped. Nor even trying to imagine how they might look! Because the way these lights moved across the sky had me, not only jumping with joy as I knew I was seeing a bonified UFO, but also left me completely baffled as to how they could possibly have looked. I could, however, see that each object had two lights which I am sure were each set on either side of the object. I'm guessing the objects were only a few thousand feet from the ground, and by the distance the lights were apart from each other. The objects were likely the size of a small plane. Maybe even as small as a car or truck. But it was the way they moved across the sky that has left me clueless. As the objects passed overhead there was not a sound. All I could see were the four lights. I knew it had to have been two objects, each with a pair of lights. Imagine holding a dim light in each hand. Arms outstretched horizontally. Now move your arms in a rolling motion. As the left side rolls forward, the right side rolls opposite. As if in the shape of an hourglass rolling on its side. Only it wouldn't be shaped like an hourglass. Its just the only thing I can think in comparison. The event lasted no more than ten seconds. It was very dark that night, and I was able to keep my sights on the lights until they passed beyond the horizon, which was only a couple miles to the north because they were at such a low altitude. I googled the description of what I seen of the object and the way in which it moved, but was not able to find anything that seemed similar. I did, however, come across this website, and thought by posting my account in the most detail I can give. Maybe someone else has seen a similar object and can share with how the object possibly looks. I'm intrigued. Source of report indicates that the date is approximate. PD

Clarksville, TN
I went inside and got my husband and son and we watched the lights for about 7 minutes. The lights shined through the clouds. I tried to dismiss it as possible spotlights, until the object broke through the clouds and it was a craft I have never seen before. Moved very quickly and quietly. Eventually they flew off and I have not seen the lights since. (Have video evidence) The animals in the neighborhood were also going nuts during this event and it ceased when the objects left.

Prince Albert (Canada), SK · Canada
Saw a white object in the sky toward the northeast. The object was far off and in photos looks elongated vertically and did not appear to be moving. It did not shine like a light but was more solid white in colour. Could not make out a solid shape as it was quite far off, but looked to be wider in the center with elongated parts pointing up and down from the middle point.

Clinton, MD
Heading north on Route 5 from Waldorf, and just entering the Clinton, Maryland, area, the craft was spotted to the right of the roadway. It was sitting at approximately 400-500 feet from the roadway and was at at an altitude for from between 300-500 feet. The craft resembled an airplane or a drone. The color was silver/brushed gray. It was the size of a small, early jet airliner perhaps 75-100 feet long. The shape was that of a cylinder, rounded at both ends with the front portion being somewhat bulbous and slightly larger than the rear. Two long wings came out from the sides, under the aircraft, and did not appear to be affixed, but gave the impression that they were part of the fuselage as if the whole thing were built as one. The wings were chopped off at the ends, similar to what was on the old X-15 experimental aircraft, except that they were longer. The craft had no markings and no markings. What struck us odd was that it had no tail or landing gear of any sort. It just remained motionless and hung there. It did not sway or move in anyway and gave off no noise or light. It was a sunny and perfect day weather-wise. We watched the craft through the front and side windows of the car for about 30 or more seconds. Just as we took our eyes off of it to make a right into Southern Maryland Hospital so that we could get out to get a better look, it simply vanished without a trace. Traffic was heavy and we have no idea of anyone else saw what we saw. We could not agree on what it was. It was in what would have been the flight path for Andrews AFB, and felt that the thing was probably heading there. However, the fact that it did not move or "fly" in anyway, had no tail or landing gear was highly strange. It looked out of place and did not appear to be any sort of aircraft that we were familiar with.

Upper Freehold Township, NJ
I took my dog out and went back to bed. Normal view from room shows planes ready to land with lights - the lights I saw were headlight size compared to normal views. Almost a double headlight look and could not tell where it was going - I went to bed early and know what I saw. The object was not clearly making a path to move forward or backwards - and then, an erratic movement pattern occurred - where the light moved in a weird pattern and then ended up in a different position - almost laser like movement rods. Wanted to wake up my husband and daughter but thought it would be gone by then. watched for a few more minutes and watched changes in location. and then it was gone..... could have been Ft. Dix-McGuire testing, or whatever - but what I witnessed was something I had never seen before and couldn't explain erratic and so fast movement. Was not afraid..........

Absarokee, MT
Looked like a really bright wihite light like a star. It came straight down form the heavens, had strange maneuvers, and stopped and hovered for a long time, then dimmed and dropped behind the Beartooth Mt. range. There was no sound and it was brighter than stars. Sighting of Venus?? PD

Sacramento, CA
First seen from living room window, older sibling brought attention to it as "super bright light". It was brighter than any other star in the sky so we thought it was an electrical light. We grabbed binoculars and noticed it looked like a dome or half circle. We saw it at 8:00 pm and watched it until 8:45 pm, when it finally got too low to see beyond the buildings. It was to the west of Sacramento CA.

Calmar (Canada), AB · Canada
I was having a smoke on my deck and watching the Northern lights and look above me when I notice this green beam going from S.E to N.W. In this beam were 3 green v objects flying in formation with 3 more behind it continuesly for 20 minutes at very high speed and then stopped. The green originated above some clouds to southeast and faded into the Northern lights to the northwest. The length of the beam if I were to use my hands for reference would be about 2 feet long. I don't know what distance that would be in space. I tried previously to capture video of northern lights with cell phone and the video was too dark to see anything. So it was pointless wish I had a video camera that night. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

I saw this picture on my friends snapchat. I did not see it myself. I do have her full permission to post this picture though. Once I saw it it reminded me of the UFO sighting in California and I believe wales that looks just like this. It looks like a triangle ball followed by a smoke trail

I was on my phone in my bad and something caught my attention in my peripheral vision and I sit up and there is a light flashing and I look a little closer and notice almost a circle shape but not just one 3 combined and it was gliding away with a very powerful light and I do not know what it was but I do know it was not a aircraft I've seen or heard of it managed to capture a zoomed in video after I managed to snap out of my nervous shocked faze.

Harrisburg, PA
At approximately 9:09 pm EST, clear skies and visibility. I opened the door to my back deck in Harrisburg, PA, facing east. As soon as I opened the door, in the sky was an object with red lights above, white lights in the middle, red lights below. The white lighted middle section was longer then then the red sections above and below. The sections above and below were equal in size. The object hovered stationary, slightly swaying right and left. I watched for approximately 15 seconds before deciding to make a run for my iPhone. Unfortunately upon returning, the object was gone.

Sun City West, AZ
My wife and I initially thought we were seeing a flock of several geese flying in a “V” formation flying north over Sun City West, AZ, at an altitude of less than five hundred feet. The “geese” looked white or cream colored, but we both immediately realized that all we could see were wings, no necks or feet like you would see on bird. The trailing edge of each pair of wings was black or dark colored. Just as we realized these were not birds, the objects began maneuvering around each other, gliding over or under each other, moving forward and back, all without any movement of the wings. I turned to my wife and said “do you see what they are doing,” and immediately looked back to where the objects had been. I looked away for less than 2 seconds but when I looked back, the objects that had been directly above us had disappeared. I was driving a convertible car with the top down at about 35 miles per hour. The sky was completely clear and visibility in every direction above the single story houses was unlimited. The sighting took place about 7 miles from Luke Air Force Base and there were jets in the area at the time of the sighting.

The object i saw in the United Kingdom was a boomerang shape, me and partner was walking on the beach here in Cornwall (Portreath Beach) we sat down by the cafe, and we heard a humming noise and an eerie silence we looked up and saw this big boomerang shape object we sat there for 3 minutes and stared at it. All of sudden it dissapeared.

Toledo, OH
A faint line of light was moving east to West,in the northern sky, at a fairly high rate of speed. It got slightly to the west of my position and approximately 8-10 objects appeared in the line of light. All were in a straight line except one of them. The other was along the lead one in the line. The light was more like a glow around the formation. The objects seemed to have sort of a hex shaped front end with straight sides with rounded off corners in back of objects.

Central circular light with approx #6 beams/rays (star like). Reddish and blinking, flying lower than plane. Once it passed over front of house I went to back deck and it was lower and bright white. Disappeared then was much higher at cloud level. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
