While getting something to drink I looked outside the top window of the kitchen and noticed a little blinking light in the sky. I didn't think much of it at first and thought it was an Airplane but after I finished drinking I noticed it hadn't moved at all and kept staring at it for 4 minutes until I realized what I'm seeing is not a plane. I ran to tell my mother to look at the sky. That there's a little blinking/flashing little light in the sky. And went back to the kitchen to keep looking at it. I called my sister to have a better view. Terrified and freaked out after noticed it's moving in a small triangular, circular form she went to bed and covered herself. I stared at it for almost an hour. Showing red, white, blue color flashes. I noticed it moving in a small formation and sometimes just staying still. I posted it on social media to see if anyone else is seeing it. I texted my brother. I messaged a friend that lived near by but no one was able to see it from there view of their building. Than a huge cloud formation came and covered it. Knowing it would take a while before the clouds moved again I went to take a quick shower and came back to see the clouds leave and it was gone... I didn't come back to try and see if it had comed back. I was in denial and felt I was going crazy... Thinking it was just a realistic dream... Unable to sleep until finally at 7 am... Unfortunately there was not a good enough camera in my home that could capture the image of it.

Saw red and blue lighted craft flying low over treeline. Craft stopped, dropped down,then resumed. This happened numerous times. It would hover,drop, glide all without a sound. The red light would move from one side to the other at times and there was a white light intermittently as well. Item too big to be a drone, no sound, weird lights and movement not consistent with any aircraft or helicopter. I have a video file.

Kingsport, TN
I noticed a object that at first I thought it was a plane, but based upon speed and its erratic movement, realize it to be impossible to be a plane or helicopter. I have witnessed this object 2 in just a month, but this time I got it on video. The object moved in a pattern that is impossible for any aircraft I know of or have seen and it admitted no sound. I was in the Marine Corps and have never witnessed any craft capable of such flight. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS WHO SUBMITTED THE REPORT ABOVE)) Addendum to report on 08/26/16 This is an addendum to my report on 08/26/16. The craft was spherical but not completely round but not oval. It made no sound and flashed many colors. I also seen this craft a little month than a month prior and at a much closer distance I could not get video camera quick enough to capture image on that date. I filed a report on that sighting as well which was 07/22/16. Also I realized that at time, of both incidents there had been airshows earlier in the evening. 07/22/16 a hot air balloon show for the funfest and the second event was an old airplane show at the local fair in Gray, TN, old planes like the P-51, and other planes from the Korean and Vietnam era.

Visalia, CA
Yesterday, on August 26th, I was walking from a local community college to a nearby Taco Bell with five of my friends. The Taco Bell sits behind a bus stop and is on a busy street in our town, Visalia, CA. The traffic was stopped. The skies were clear – no clouds. It was a little before 1:00 pm. We were walking and talking when the sky suddenly dimmed and then became light again. It was about a 2-3 second event. One of my friends stopped, and said, “Whoa – did anybody else see that?” We all saw the light dim and quickly returned to normal. Some thought it was a large truck going by but the traffic was stopped and no large trucks anywhere. There was nothing in the sky – clouds – airplanes-birds that we could see.

Sioux Falls, SD
It was nightime, more than a year ago, I went for a smoke and there on my balcony, a green light hit me from out of the sky. I was shocked and scared. It was a tingly feeling and I statrted to cry. I immediately went to lay down, and as I closed my eyes, a white cross appeared over my body (in my mind) my mind felt like it was about to break, so I quickly got up in aggravation... it then went away. We cannot certify that this report was submitted as a seriou-minded account of what the witness writes above. PD

Sedona, AZ
For 3 to 4 nights I observed amber lights emanating from what appeared to be 3 large windows up on Wild Horse Mesa which is behind my house to the east (I watch sun and moon rise over it). On the 22nd of August I decided to put my cell phone camera lenses on top of the eye piece of a small table top telescope and attempt a shot. When looking directly through the telescope I had real good detail of the "windows" but saw no movement or entities. I shot a small sequence of pictures and the went back to zoom in and see what I had.... well the one picture I will provide was astounding to me to say the least. Last night - 8/25 - the light from the area on the mesa had gone from bright amber to a dim grayish blue but seemed to have increased in size/area. Never seen anything like it and this will be my 1st ever report. Thanks

Perris, CA
I saw an unusual light in the sky Mon. 8/22/2016, between 0225 and 0305 hrs., moving from the SW. It was reasonably bright and not moving fast like an airplane, I suspect it was a drone. As it got closer it released or fired a pyrotechnic mortar that went down a 100 or so feet and exploded with a very loud boom, this was an airburst apprx. 150 feet above ground with a smoke cloud that drifted north this was at 0245. I continued to watch as it turned east and continued till I lost site of it at 0305. I reported to local fire dept as this could have started a brush fire had it made it to the ground. Their response was no response.

Little Rock, AR
I was driving west on Lindsey Rd. at 1:01 A.M. after getting off of work. In the curve of the road, right around the FedEx facility, I saw something out my driver's side window, at about 45 degrees south/southwest. It was a fairly large, super-intense white light, circular in shape, moving at an incredible speed, coming from the northwest and moving southeast. When people count by saying "1 Mississippi", this would have been more like "1 M" in duration. The best way I can describe the object is, it looked like a rotating, flat spiral of white light. In the dimmer arms of the spiral I may have detected a very faint yellow. Picture the rotating spiral of Hitchcock's 'Vertigo'. The location I saw this object in is immediately south of Little Rock Airport (Clinton Airport). I checked the flight schedules when I got home, and while departures were not listed, the last arrival was at least a couple of hours before my sighting. This is not an airport that has much late night airplane activity. I also looked up types of commercial aircraft lights when I got home, but didn't see anything similar to what I had seen. I do know that Little Rock Air Force Base does practice maneuvers using Little Rock Airport runways and airspace, but they are a C-130 base. The object I saw was at least as fast as a jet fighter, if not faster. Obviously LRAFB could have jets from other places on occasion, but I don't know. If this object came from the airport, it seems it would have been departing based on its direction of travel. I don't rule out any possibility. I just would really like to know what I saw. I have never in my life experienced or seen anything like that. I have traveled this road for the past eight years. An investigator may contact me at my subitted email address.

Windsor, MO
My wife and I were laying in bed and saw what appeared to be heat lightening flashing faintly outside our window. However, it quickly began flashing brighter and faster. Within about 5 seconds it appeared to be a very bright, white strobe light outside our window. Suddenly, our room lit up red. I jumped up and looked outside and it completely stopped. No noises were heard from our side during this time, and it definitely did not appear to be lightening or any type vehicle. My wife stated she has seen it for several nights now, but this was my first. Also, I don't know if this is related or not, but my neighbor is claiming that something "very large" has been attacking his dog. His dog is fenced in his back yard and weighs approximately 75lbs.

The star/planet and the ufo both turned red. The UFO then traveled back to the left and stopped above the trees hovering. Another came and trekked toward the the Big Dipper. The triangle completely changed formation. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Slatington, PA
Around 22-23:00 near the town on Slatington, Pennsylvania, on the 16, 17 or 18th of August, 2016, my wife and I saw an object with 2 solid red lights and a flashing white light attached to it. It was headed west. It made a 90 degree turn to the south without slowing down. I wouldn't try to estimate the elevation or size of the object. The hard 90 degree turn is what made it mysterious. It could possibly be a drone, I don't think it was though. A few months ago we saw an aircraft at night in the same location, with the same red light pattern fly over the house and leave a long lasting contrail. Thank you for your time and attention.

New York City (Manhattan), NY
I didn't think much of it, but 2 minutes later, I saw the same golden streak of light zoom by towards what looked like downtown, going south of central park. I was absolutely shocked and almost panicked. A couple of minutes later mayber 3 to 5 minutes later, i saw the streak of light again moving incredibly fast towards the west side of Manhattan, maybe towards Jersey. That was the last time I saw the golden streak of light.

Bend, OR
As I went out of my apartment, I saw a massive white light in the sky moving at a good speed N N/E. After just a few seconds I had the thought, "I can't think of anything that could possibly be besides the international space station. Well, unless it was a UFO. (Haha)" IMMEDIATELY after the second half of that thought passed through my head... The light veered east. 😒 it got to a point far north and a bit east of Bend, then stopped. 😒 This light was VERY bright; it was just a few degrees off of a street lamp and still was clearly definable. It just stopped moving altogether and sat there for a few minutes slowly dimming until I couldn't make it out anymore. The next day I noted that the point at which it had come to rest was approximately the peak of Black Butte.

Derby (UK/England) · United Kingdom
At around 11:00 PM GMT, on the 08/12/2016, I was on my garden, doing some Astrophotography for the Perseid's meteor shower. I was using an intervalometer so I could relax and enjoy the show. About half an hour into the session (So around 11:30 PM GMT), 4 Lights appeared from behind the tree line that was to the left of my vision. My initial thought was it was a meteor, until I realised the speed at what it was travelling. The distance it covered would have taken a meteor at a fast speed around 7-10 seconds. This object covered it in roughly 3 seconds, maintaining its form of 4 Pin white lights that all stayed in equidistance of one another. Then it disappeared behind the line of houses to the right of my vision. Thankfully, I had my camera trained on that area of sky. After reviewing my images in lightroom (I had accidentally overexposed them by having my ISO too high), I saw that the camera had caught nothing.

New York City (Middle Village), NY
Noticed an object flying through the air from south to north in Middle Village NY at around 2030 hours on Friday, Aug 12, 2016. Object had no sound, and had two sets of two red lights and right behind those were two green blinking lights. Moved swiftly and quietly through sky. Not sure how high, but approximately 500 to 1000 feet maybe.

Jakarta (Indonesia) · Indonesia
This photos are taken by me in a plane from Surabaya to Jakarta (Indonesia - South East Asia). I look from the plane window and saw this "thing" just floating. At first I thought it was a dark cloud or just a stain in the window. Then I realized something was odd because it looks like the object was moving in the opposite direction against the plane (I still have no idea whether it's just standing there or it's actually moving). In my opinion that is definitely not part of a mountain because it was floating in the air nor a cloud because the color of surrounding clouds are bright yet the color of the object is dark. Supported by the fact that the shape of the object is quite slim and thin, which doesn't resembles the shape of mountains or clouds because it's way too slim.

Indian Trail, NC
My mother and I were watching the meteor shower, then saw this light that was acting strange. Wasn't a plane because it was moving in all directions very slowly. There was so clouds and if you looked real close you could see a spotlight on the clouds. Both would rise, go down and side to side. No noise was present. They almost seem to be searching. Sun started coming up and they shot away like a bullet from a gun. Couldn't tell the shape. I've seen 2 ufos before but didn't act this strange.

Palm Coast, FL
Ever since that day I've been hearing the same noises at the same times (minus the light and voices) but can't explain them, and our pets haven't been the same either. I have no idea what it is and all I have as evidence is a recording I took of the hovering sound, the bizarre thing is it didn't pick up the hovering but instead a noise I didn't even hear the whole time recording. Also, whenever I try to wake anyone up to come listen there is no trace of the strange sounds. I can't sleep because of all of this and it's been driving me crazy. Help.

At least five very very bright lights at bottom, shining on us.. big as a plane, has head lights, bright white lights on bottom, front, and back of UFO, hovered one direction as I approached corner of street, as I turned the corner and looked at it again it was hovering in the total opposite direction without turning to go back the opposite way. Went to turn car around to take a picture and it had disappeared

Citrus Heights, CA
I started investigating on my own starting the end of month July up to present day. Unless objects just disappeared for whatever reason which is unlikely being that every night I see them generally in the same area but spread out as if strategically positioning themselves from all directions in my particular view (front porch). Every night after 1200am to 500am they will either hover still in same position for hours or IV seen them move very slowly at random times with no warning and or logical reasoning. Some are very high but some get very close. close enough to get a real look at its detailes perhaps. These lights/orbs/star-like pulsating flickering of blue red green yellow and white pulsating lights. They can look like bright stars or near by planets but I've done alot of reading and investigating to find a close enough report that resembles mine
