Claremont, CA
It looks and sounds to big to be a drone. If it is a police helicopter the search light was not on. It just went east at 9:30 pm towards Montclair, Ca.

Kapaa, HI
I was taking my evening walk and I bring along my device. If the sunset is good, I will take photos. I took several and later after dinner when I looked at them I saw this green thing. I have no idea what it is. I was about 1 mile from the cloud and I am 2.5 miles from the base of the mountain in the distance. It's called Makaleha. I have had refractions from headlights in previous photos, it was not dark enough for that. I have had people say it's a drone, but it seems pretty high in some of the shots (drones are limited to 400 ft.) and you can see its lights in the clouds. It's also green and I don't think that is a legal running light color. I have gotten another photo about a month earlier. Possible lens flares? PD

Denio (south of), NV
My husband & I were traveling south on Rt 140 in Nevada, south of Denio, around 4pm Pacific time on September 8, 2016. I was staring west out the passenger window and saw something shiny flying in the sky above the mountains (Pine Forest Range). Since it was at a distance & I couldn’t identify its shape, I thought I was watching a plane, but then it disappeared. It did NOT fade away. It flat out disappeared. My husband didn’t see it since he was driving and therefore facing south. I'm not saying what it is. I'm not saying what it's not. All I am saying is that I thought I was watching a plane in the distance flying above the mountains, but then it disappeared.

Brilliant, OH
At 01:20 I observed a aircraft go over head after I had observed a military aircraft go overhead and lead at Pittsburgh Airport. The second craft continued to claim into space for over 40 minutes at which time I finished observing. Craft only had white lighting moved at a high speed but not much faster than most jets from my point of view. But clearly continued to go farther out of atmosphere. I see many jet take off and land at the two local airports this one never went over the horizon. It only continued to gain altitude.

Windsor, VT
MULTIPLE RED AND GREEN LIGHTS, WITH AN OCCASIONAL WHITE LIGHT, WERE FLASHING IN THE WESTERN SKY - IT STAYED IN THE SAME PLACE FOR APPROXIMATELY 35 MIN. AND THEN IT APPEARED THAT A WHITE BEAM OF LIGHT CAME OUT OF IT AND THEN IT STARTED TO MOVE OVER THE HORIZON IN THE WESTERN SKY. WE TRIED TO USE BINOCULARS TO SEE IT - THE LIGHTS BECAME MORE VISIBLE, BUT STILL COULD NOT DETERMINE THE EXACT SHAPE. AT FIRST WE THOGUTH THAT IT MIGHT BE A SATELLITE, OR THE SPACE STATION, BUT WE LOOKED THAT UP AND THEY WERE NOT ANYWHERE IN THIS REGION.

We spoke via telephone with the witness, and we suspect he has observed stars and planets in the southwest sky. He will consult with a local astronomer. Date above is approximate, although he states that the objects have been visible for several days in sequence. PD

Dyersburg, TN
Using a scope at 60x, two of us observed an object with red, blue, green, and white lights running very quickly in a circular pattern. The colors were very distinctly individual rather than blurred together. It was stationary except for one extremely fast maneuver eastward for what appeared to be about 500 yards. It probably moved much farther than that if you account for how far away it was. We couldn't even distinguish if it was in our atmosphere. Without the scope, it appeared to be as bright and visible as the most visible stars and of similar size. Due to the bright, flashing lights we couldn't distinguish any other details. We watched it for about 15 minutes and checked the internet for any NASA reports concerning anything they might have up but there were none. We also attempted to take photographs but the camera phone didn't have the capability for decent night photos/videos.

Greenbelt, MD
While camping in Loop D of Greenbelt Park, I was awakened by what was the sound of animals walking in the woods surrounding our campsite. At the time, there were no generators on nearby, no traffic sounds coming from the nearby roadways, and no airplane or helicopter sounds--just the sounds of insects and the continuing sounds of what were probably just animals moving in the woods. While laying awake, though, unable to fall back asleep, an unnatural, pulsating, humming sound grew from among the natural sounds I was hearing. The sound grew louder and louder, sounding like it was approaching the area in which we were. It reached such an immensely loud volume that I couldn't believe my wife hadn't awoken. The overwhelming sound continued at this discomforting volume for what I believe was several minutes. Honestly, I was scared. I continued laying there in our tent, only looking out the tent's mesh portions we left uncovered for the night breezes and not leaving the tent to actually take a look up or around. I didn't see anything from inside the tent, but the sound was haunting. Thankfully, as I thought at the time, the sound receded back into the the more natural sounds of the night, sounding like it had traveled away from the area, and finally leaving me in peace, but unable to fall back asleep for some time. During the entire experience, I had attempted to wake my wife up without being too loud because I didn't want to sound ridiculous. The following morning, though, she told me she had heard me, but just went back to sleep. She assured me, however, that she had heard some sort of sound like what I described to her, but in her sleepy state just figured it was a natural, insect-like sort of buzzing. I've since assured her that it was not. It was nothing I've heard before, nothing natural, nothing heard any other night during our stay at Greenbelt Park. I reached out to Greenbelt Park via email after returning home from our long drive, as well as to the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center via Twitter. Greenbelt Park has since replied, but had no answers for me, assuring me they would contact me if any information become known to them. The NASA Goddard Space Flight Center has yet to respond to my message. I contacted them, specifically, because of their close, roughly two-mile distance from Greenbelt Park.

Every night at the same time two objects with different light patterns of flashing red, blue, yellow and white lights slowly come in and hover the back of my property. They remain there for anywhere between 2-4 hours. During this time they sometimes periodically seem to come closer or go farther out in the distance. They even move up and down but stay at a close proximity of where they initially begin to hover. They have been doing this that we know of at least a couple a week's ago, but could be longer. We didn't discover then until a drone was spotted at a very visible level after we heard a buzzing one afternoon over the front of our property. Once we spotted it it flew off to the back of the woods . I believe I heard another one flying in the woods on the same day just a few minutes after but never visibly seen it. Another drone, could have been the same one as before was also spotted again flying over the property line as it hovered above tree line. Of course not sure these are related but the drone was what opened our suspicions where we noticed the lights in the sky that are fairly low and definitely not normal. I believe to of seen tiny white droppings of light fall from one of these objects but no one else has noticed and I'm aware because of the creepiness my mind could be playing tricks on me. Although I am a firm believer in UFOs I'm hesitant to say that this could be one because of the fact they appear every night around the same time and they are at a constant hover. I believe this could be a drone case, but my research shows no investigations or surveillance using drones of this flight power in or around this area. If I can get a camera that can clearly record or photograph these objects I will send them in along with the date and times they are taken.

Bellevue, WA
At 1 am, I saw a very fast white object traveling from the north to the south south east. The event lasted perhaps 2 to 3 seconds. The speed was very very fast and the distance was roughly 30% of the identifiable horizon from My location. The size of the object was roughly 2-3 mm at arms reach, and roughly 30 - 40 degrees above horizon From my location looking east. No noise .

On 09/03/2016 at about 10:28PM, I saw a very red single flashing light. As it flew overhead and past, there was NO sound. It was flying West to East. This has my attention...

I had just woke out of my sleep. I peered out of the window to see if the sky had been foggy or not, and as I did, i saw these red and white lights, flying by my window, but they were fading into transparency, as if they weren't meant to be seen. Picture an airplane, flying reallly low and visibly and it starts to blend in withh the color of the sky. That's all.

Brookline Station, MO
Then there was an airplane in the sky clearly because of the flashing lights and we saw one of these lights come from space stop by the airplane circle it one way then circle back the other way and the shoot back out into space. Unbelievable and this went on for 25 minutes. I then decided to call the police and report this. An officer called me back asked what was going on told me he had dispatch on the line and they were contacting the ai! rport and I heard nothing back. Since it was the holiday weekend I waited till Tuesday and called the police department back to get the findings. A detective told me no report was made by me. I told her yes I still have the exact time on my phone and I had asked this to be reported she told me she showed nothing. She recommended I call the airport and talk to traffic control. So I did she said her boss was on the phone but I should really call Kansas City airport she gave me a number and I called ((name deleted)) he told me they had no reports but he would check into it. A hour later he called and said he had nothing and it must have been drones. I'm not stupid or crazy. We all three know drones don't come from space and these this came and left to space plus they things were moving at a falling star rate. We know what we se and it was something I can not explain other than it was not any aircraft we have ever seen

McMinnville, OR
About 3:20 PM, I heard a loud buzzing/rumbling noise, almost like a plane was passing over, but louder and more extreme. There were clouds outside, but it was like the sound was right above me. The sky was clear above me, and I didn't see anything. When the sound started, the wind was very extreme, stopping when the sound did. This lasted about a minute.

I was about to fall asleep around 4am when I saw a light through the blinds of my window. I have a natural curiosity about UFOs, so I got up and took a closer look. It was hard to tell what I was looking at. It looked very similar to a star, but it wasn't flashing how a sta would through our atmosphere. I spent 20 minutes trying to figure out exactly what it was. I was convinced it was moving, but thought I was just tired and maybe I was just seeing things. I started to block the object using frames of the window, and realized it slowly but definitely was moving back into my vision. I did this multiple times. I opened my window so I had a full view, and went back to my bed to watch this object. For the next hour or so, the object very slowly moved back and forth. It changed direction quite a few times, but it never went very far. I could judge its position by where it was in relation to my window frames. At one point, it got close enough for me to see there were multiple lights to it. I cant confirm the shape, but I was leaning towards a triangle or boomerang type object. Towards the end of my sighting, the object started to move upwards and become smaller and more distant. At this point, the sun was beginning to rise and it was the only object visible in the sky other than the moon. All of the stars I had seen prior were no longer visible. This object had to have been very bright, and very big. At this point I had to get back up to watch it, as the object had completely left my view of the window. I got up to watch it and realized it had become a speck. I couldn't believe how astonishingly high it got. This way way too high to be a plane or a drone, and satellites don't maneuver the way this object did. At times it was completely still, but became more active towards the middle and end of my sighting. Second Object: At this point its about 5:40 A.M. The first object was extremely high, just a little dot. I then noticed a second craft MUCH lower in my vision. I had mistaken it for a cloud at first, but it was an object darting across the sky leaving a small trail. It was travelling at an awkward angle, and I could not notice any lights on this one. There was quite a bit of natural light in the sky at this point. I took a video of this one. The other object was too distant to show up on my camera. The craft was only in my vision for about 10 seconds, and left no visible trail after it left my field of view. The object I had originally seen was somehow still visible, extremely high up there. About 5 minutes later, it was either gone, or there was too much natural light to observe it further. We believe the first possibility to be ruled out would be a star in the morning sky. However, we cannot be certain. PD
