Black and shaped like a diamond with 5 lights underneath. One blinking, the other 4 solid.

I saw a black shaped diamond craft hovering above a corn field. It was silent and moving straight ahead, silently. I didn't see anything that made it seem like a consumer grade drone, and it had 5 lights. 1 blinking and 4 solid. I know at least one other person saw it and turned around. I gave a video of it.

Driving along River Road saw glowing orange object two tails hovering

Driving along River Rd. Passenger in my vehicle pointed out glowing orange object in sky during daytime. Neither of us had seen something like this before. Looked like a bright orange sphere with two tails pointed vertical. It was just hovering in one area. I tried to take a picture but it wouldn’t capture on phone. I drove off so not sure how long it remained. I haven’t seen it since.

Bright teal column of light from that came from clouds and touched the ground then disappeared, didn’t go back into clouds.

Driving on the highway south and saw a bright teal column of light come from the clouds and touch the ground from what appeared to be several miles south and slightly west, possibly Belleville, Illinois. It lit up the clouds that it came from bright teal but it was 20 degrees outside and not lightning or a spotlight. Continued to stare in the direction with the other witness and didn’t not see any evidence of a tower or spotlight. It came from above and touched the ground then seemed to disappear and not go back into the clouds. Did not see object in the cloud from which it could have come from.

Chain of visibly ascending red dots, perfect line, changing speed and overlapping each other like geese in a flock. Faded out into?

I'm a UPS Driver. Delivering in this area, my helper and I were on our way back to the truck. This area has no light pollution, the sky is incredibly clear. She says, "Omg do you see that?" And I look up and just kept saying "WTF" over and over. Perfect line of 20-30 red dots, speeding up and slowing down overlapping each other like geese in a flock like I said in the summary. Whatever it/they were, they were ascending, approximately a 40 degree angle from our position. While continuing the ascent speeding up and slowing down overlapping one by one dimmed and vanished as if getting too far up to see anymore. The positions in the line were not graduated. I worked in aviation as an active duty Marine and I've never seen anything like it, its notable that there was no sound. The only way I can describe the speed is like the speed of an F-18 in burn, but the massive drops in speed to return to the rest of line's speed was shocking. Unidentified fliers to me, but I'm not familiar with the F-35 capabilities, could have been some training op? The fading out was turning off burn? Shrugs, but I find it ridiculously unlikely for that many to be in one place. The spread of this line in the sky was about the size of an outstretched man's hand, pinky to thumb. Accounting for whatever altitude these things were, that's a massive distance to be doing those maneuvers over. All we could say to each other when they all disappeared was, "Noones going to believe us." I tried to get it on video as we witnessed it over about 30 seconds, cell cam wouldn't pick up the light. Probably just one of those things 2 people saw and will never have an answer for.

While on a walk with a friend of mine I was looking up at the stars and noticed one move slightly downwards and then return to its position. I stopped dead in my tracks and had my friend verify what I was seeing. Upon further inspection, we swa multiple lights in that region change from red, blue, and green for a brief moment. There was also a moment where what appeared to be a purplish distortion that resembled a nebula around one of the lights. They seemed to shoot around at incredible speed but always returned to their original position. Obviously startled we looked online to see if anyone was seeing what we saw and all I could find were reports of Starlink sattelites but I am slow to accept this as an answer because of the randomness of the movements observed. I plan on trying to find a telescope to observe better.

Lights in the shape of a “V” traveling westward and becoming circular and stationary in the west about 60° above the horizon.

In the eastern night sky, lights in the shape of a “V” appeared about 45° above the horizon and traveled slowly and silently overhead, westward and then stopped moving about 60° from the western horizon. The “V” then appeared to be a circle of lights, with lights intermittently extending from the circle shape. The circle was stationary in the West for about an hour. The circle seemed to be made up of red and whiteish- blue lights.

My son and I were outside and noticed white objects that looked like birds flying erratically. It seemed strange because they seemed much higher than birds usually fly. My son thought it looked more like debris blowing around at a high altitude. He then noticed another much larger object appear. It was a reddish color, and it appeared top be hovering near the other objects. It appeared to be diamond shaped. I ran in our shop to grab binoculars, but before I was able to get back out, my son said it was taking off. When I got back outside, it had already disappeared to the south. This happened in a very short period of time. The object would have had to accelerate to extremely high speeds to be out of sight by the time I was back outside. We had a clear view to the south.

2 Orange Orbs in sky night of the Supermoon approx. 9 pm EST

First I need to preface this with the following statement; I don't think that we should all be naive enough to think that we're the only life in the known universe, but I certainly don't believe every alien story ever told. I think most of those people were drunk, stoned, or just attention seekers. I'm reporting this not as a function of attention seeking or to feed the fire of mass hysteria, but because I genuinely saw something I cannot logically or definitively explain. It was the night of the 2015 Supermoon and I was driving home from a family members residence in Norfolk. I was watching the sky the whole time but when I was driving through Collinsville, just before I got to the bridge, I saw two dark orange orbs in the sky. Size wise they were much smaller than the moon but much larger than a star. If the moon was a basketball, these would be golf ball size. I cannot believe I'm even typing these words but it looked like they were just flying around, maybe looking for something.. I could come up with a million conspiracy theories, but that's just what they would be.. Theories... No proof of anything.

I did Google some orb experiences from the Supermoon night and there's some video on YouTube showing a light. I don't know if it's what I saw but if he's in the same area then it could be.

There were people on the bridge when I was driving home, so they may have seen it as well.

Large T formation of objects. Fast moving. Amazing.

I recently purchased a pair of Celestron Skymaster 15x70 Binoculars. I'm amazed how it cuts through light pollution.

While sitting on my swing and looking up at stars a T-Formation came into view. At first it looked solid but it had individual squarish looking objects in it. There were no lights but they had a almost tan/luminescent color to them against the dark sky.

As I lowered my binoculars I still saw the T- formation as it went behind some trees I stood up but the horizon was blocked by more trees. At first I thought these were geese but I've never seen birds fly in a T formation that huge and travel so quickly. The flew like they knew where they were going. Through the binoculars and without they were in a perfect formation and it did look like, possibly, they were part of a T. It reminded me of those huge formations sighted in space. I would put the size as a ruler put at arms length. Travelling fast like a T at eleven o'clock. Much higher than passenger aircraft. Possibly in space. A slight aura around the whole T-formation.

Rectangular shape over Collinsville

Was driving north on 157 when I noticed a bright light which I first thought was a C-5 that normally fly over to Scott Air Force Base some 15 miles to our east. As I got closer the light increased in intensity. Due to the low altitude I figured it had to be a police helicopter so I slowed down. As I drove under it it was banking to the east towards the tree line of the bluffs. What I briefly saw in about 3 seconds was a rectangular shaped object moving slowly with no apparent sound. The size was like holding a envelope at arm's length. Would estimate height at less than 300 feet.

It was huge! When it banked, the bright lights I first saw faded, and I could make out some faint but sharp led type of lighting on the perimeters and within object.

I turned around a sped south to see if I could spot it where the bluff are lower to east but had no luck. It almost looked like a flying super modern penthouse if that doesnt sound crazy. Not sure I saw all of it due to the lighting. Someone else had to have seen it.

Incredible!!!

Bright orange non-blinking sphere that made no audible sound heading from southwest to northeast.

Bright orange glowing sphere traveling from southwest to northeast into a thunderstorm. Object made no audible sounds and did not blink. Steady orange glow that seemed to have a halo around it. It seemed to travel about the same speed or faster than a rotor craft. Contacted the local FD and Anderson Hospital, no knowledge of incoming emergency helicopters. It flew directly into thunderstorm. Object appeared to be about 2 to 3000 ft above. Object flew in straight line directly over town, blinked 3 or 4 times and vanished. Speed of object was consistent. We live close to Scott Air Force Base. I am used to experiencing aircraft on a daily basis. This object headed north of SAFB from the southwest (St. Louis). I've never seen an object so brilliantly orange, like a very large candle. The brightness didn't change at all until it exited several miles from town. It made absolutely no sound. Rather shocking. I have four photos of the object from my cellphone.

I was visiting my brother last night. He lives in a mobile home in the middle of a pasture. There is a logging road that leads down to a large pond. There are trees on each side of the road.

My brother and his best friend went outside to smoke leaving me and my sister-in-law inside with the children. They were outside for about five minutes when the called us out to come look at a bright star.

I went outside and down the logging road I saw what looked like a large star that was very low. It sat just over the tree line in the horizon. I remembered thinking that it was tear drop shaped. Looked like a tear drop diamond.

We were talking about what it could possibly be. We had never seen a star so large and one of us said that even the North Star wouldn't be so low. Maybe it was a planet?

We are all strong christians and have never believed in any alien myths or stories so we were talking about any logical explanations.

After looking at it for a minute i began to notice red streaks coming out of the bottom. I kept thinking that my eyes were playing tricks on me from focusing too much so I turned away and looked back only to see red and blue colors coming from this bright light. My brother then asked if it was moving or if his eyes were playing tricks on him.

I looked back at it and the light was moving right to left very quickly. It never moved far enough to disappear behind the trees.

At this point we were all a little scared. This was obviously no star nor planet. My brother got out his video camera and began filming. The movements became more noticeable. Diagnol, side to side and up and down.

My brother and his friend decided to try to get closer. They began walking down the lane and were not ten feet closer when the light started to BACK AWAY. The light was moving backwards.

Me and my sister-in-law were screaming that it was leaving and of course the guys froze in fear and we literally watched this ball of light back away until it was out of sight.

As a skeptic If we had watched that light for a while and it never left I would have been convinced it was just a planet or something and that our eyes were playing tricks on us with the lights and movements. But when I saw that thing back away from us I knew that it was nothing of this earth.

I don't know what we saw last night but I do know it was either an angel of god or a being from somewhere else.

After it left of course we are all looking in the sky in terror and amazement at what we saw and I began to notice planes EVERYWHERE. It was dark of course and it was a very clear night. But I counted eight planes.

When I commented on this to everyone else they brushed it off as it being a clear night and there's always that many planes, I just never noticed it. But I did count 9 planes and they were headed in the same direction as the light.

Plane and fireball signaling each other?

First let me say I live way out in the country on a dirt road with only a few scattered residences. Anyway, I was out feeding my dog in the backyard and when I finished I looked up to observe the stars which were beautiful and clear. I noticed across the road to the west on the horizon and through the trees a very bright, white light was shining through. There is nothing there for miles as it is a huge tree farm and very rural. I thought " I bet somebody is night hunting." I also heard, and saw, a plane going overhead coming from the east. I could clearly hear it. It was about 20000 feet up. Oddly, it had landing lights on. It blinked its lights 3 times! Just a few seconds later a huge fireball with a long burning tail came from the northwest. I thought its going to crash to the earth! But it burned out just seconds before impact. Strangely the light on the horizon blinked out and the plane shut all its lights off and I could hear it heading off to the west. All this occured in seconds of each other and may have a mundane explanation, although it appeared to be comminication of some sort to me.

I had just gotten out of my car. The night was mild for November and clear.

I paused to look up at the stars above the roof of my house. Movement to the east caught my attention. I looked east and there were 15-20 (best guess) objects flying very high, I would guess 30,000 feet, from east to west. They may have been higher than that but I have no idea how large the craft were so I have nothing to base a better judgement on.

They were in a line that formed north to south but it wasn't an organized line. As they flew the line flucuated as to which 'craft' was in the lead. It reminded me of how a flock of geese act when they are trying to decide which will lead the flock until the V formation is made. They were illuminated a blue/white but were high enough that I could not determine a shape. They resembled small blueish stars.

Although they were flying at high altitude and a high rate of speed I was still able to stay focused on them from east to west. At the rate they seemed to be traveling I would guess it was would have taken a very short time for them to cross the distance (east to west) of Illinois. I heard no sound, either before I caught sight, during nor after.

I did not observe any contrails from them. The illumination seemed steady, not flashing and only the blue/white hue. No orange, red or yellow at all.

I did not observe any other aircraft in the night sky.

At the time there were no clouds to speak of.

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

Triangular aircraft with bright white light hovered silently over houses.

I was driving home from work along the south frontage road that parallels I-70 near Troy, IL. It was approx. 0400 in the am and I was traveling east at a speed of 35-40 mph. I always drive slowly at that hour since it is prime time for certain wildlife on the roads (deer, raccoon, possums, rabbits). There were only a few cars and trucks on the interstate and my husband was following in a vehicle behind me.

As I hit the crest of a hill offering a panoramic view, my peripheral vision caught sight of a very bright white light in the north sky to the left and ahead of me. It was moving slowly toward the south and would eventually intersect the interstate and the frontage road on which I was traveling. I could not see the craft at this time, only the bright light as it moved through the dark sky. At certain times of the month, this is a flight path for Lambert airport in St. Louis, Mo (I travel this road frequently). I assumed it was a plane and drove on, returning my full attention to the road. A couple more minutes up the road the white light again attracted my interest. It now seemed somewhat larger in the sky, since we were closing distance. I could now notice both a red and a blue light beneath the level of the white one. The red light was blinking. I realized that the craft had to be too low in the sky for a plane and that it was traveling too slowly. I remember thinking that it must be a helicopter, but my brain did not seem to fully accept this idea because the relative sizes (positions) of the lights seemed to indicate that they were not lined up in a lateral fashion but instead were indicative of greater depth. (Amazing how fast a brain can assess and conclude!) But then it must be a helicopter, what else could it be? I returned my attention to the road.

I came to the place where a side road joins the two frontage roads and the interstate overpass crosses above. I am always very careful here. This is a spot where accidents tend to occur due to a very short visual field created by the interstate embankment.

Suddenly and surprisingly, I caught sight of lights above my van and to the right. There was a large craft hovering above the houses near the end of the residential lane just ahead and to the south. There was illumination from nearby street lights. Regarding its width, it seemed to stretch across at least two roofs. It was grey in color and triangular in shape. Judging by the houses and the trees it was only about 400 or 500 feet above the ground. It was not moving at this time. My windows were up, the radio was off. You can easily hear the sound of cars as they pass on the interstate, but this craft was completely silent. I was trying to lean over the steering wheel to look up and still look ahead to avoid going off the road. There was no shoulder to pull off on so my viewing of the craft at this close range was intermittent and consisted of short bursts. I remember thinking, “Is that military?” (This sighting occurred approx. fifteen miles from Scott Air Force Base.) It reminded me of the pictures I have seen on TV of stealth bombers, but my understanding is that they cannot hover. It also reminded me of harrier jets, and although they can hover I thought they emitted an enormous amount of noise. I was bewildered and trying to reach the cell phone in my purse to call my husband and ask if he was seeing this too. This juggling proved too difficult and I decided to continue on and stop at the church parking lot several hundred yards ahead. I said, “Did you see that?” To which he responded, “See what?” (My husband does not generally look at the sky and additionally was tired from a long day at work. He did not see the craft as he was preoccupied watching my taillights, assuming that I had come to a near-stop due to an animal ahead on the roadway.) I pointed to the craft still hovering but having shifted just slightly south. From this new vantage point, the craft itself was too far to be clearly seen but the red and blue lights were visible beyond a deciduous tree line (no leaves on the trees). No other lights were noted from this angle. My husband could see the lights and was in agreement on the estimation of height. Then the craft began to move southwesterly over the fields of a rural area. I got back in the van and we traveled along a south road with the intention of intersecting it again on the next west road so my husband could see the underside of it. But to our amazement the craft picked up an incredible amount of speed and while we watched, disappeared rapidly into the southwestern sky past the city lights of Collinsville toward St. Louis, covering at least 20 miles in about two minutes.

From the initial sighting of the white light to the moment the colored lights of the underside were gone from sight was approx. 10 minutes duration, although direct viewing of the craft itself from underneath lasted only about 30 seconds.

Several UFOs reported in southwest Ohio over several days and this may be another sighting.

My wife and I were taking route 73 to Oxford, Ohio last night around 6:30 - 7:45 PM from Centerville, Ohio. Around 7:25 PM as we were aproaching Oxford on route 73 I saw a very bright light to the right of a radio tower to our north. I thought to myself "I bet someone might think that light to be a UFO, but I bet it's some plane's landing lights." It remained fairly stationary, which I thought odd. About 5 minutes later the lights faded and the seperation of the object and the radio tower (about 5 miles away) got smaller and the lights got much dimmer. The object was so far away that all I could see was the brightness of the light - I looked for blinking wing lights, but the bright light overpowered them (if it was an airplane). This occured about 1/2 of the way between Collinsville and Oxford. I didn't have any binocculars with me to get a decent view of the object. At home when I have seen landing lights as bright as the light I saw on 10/15, I can easily see two landing lights close together without binoculars. I am reporting this because I saw there was a report of a UFO in Trenton, Ohio 2 days before and on another site a UFO was seen in nearby Middletown, Ohio on 10/15.

(If you have a copy of DeLorme's Ohio Atlas & Gazetteer, this took place near the bottom of page 64 along highway 73 just outside of Collinsville heading west towards Oxford, Ohio, before and after highway 177 crosses highway 73. The radio tower is about 5 miles north - near the intersection of Camden-Darrtown Rd. and Camden-College Corner Rd.)

3 white/grey objects seem to be separting from a larger object with smoke around them. She saw a huge fireball.

As we drove home at the same time in seperate cars, something caught my eye so I looked up in the sky and saw 3 white/grey objects seem to be separting from a larger object with maybe smoke around them perhaps. They appeared to be glowing or burning hot some, the smoke or water vapor around them was lit up some. When I pulled in the driveway I saw her outside looking up and she ran up to my car and told me she saw a huge fireball (yellow/white) in the sky fly over head, the biggest one she has ever seen, but did not see what happened later due to someone tailgating while pulling in. She said fireball object was maybe slightly smaller than her hand at arms length. It was in the Belleville News Democrat 09/30/00, they got responses from Scott Air Force Base (said they know nothing and that a good number of people have called them about this), the tracking center in CO (said no known objects), etc. Must have been a big rock from space coming in over our heads...

Huge Triangular Craft

In August of 1987 I was walking my dogs down a service road that runs parallel highway 59 near Collinsville Alabama. The service road runs along the base of a ridgeline that extends west of Lookout Mtn. The Triangular craft appeared from the east coming over the ridgeline. It blocked out the entire night sky (clear night) above my head and I would guess was flying at somewhere between 700-1000 ft. It had 3 lights, one at each corner in Green, Red and White. It made no sound, basically hovering above the ridge for at least 3-5 minutes. It then banked slightly, turned due west and slowly made its way towards Hunstville. I watched it for at 10 minutes.

I didn't know what to think, it was too weird to deal with locally so I kept it to myself.

I did note that the direction it went off in houses the Military's Redstone Arsenal.

It was like something out of star wars

I was watching out the window for my husband to come home.Looking westward I saw a large white light sitting pretty low in the sky.The light was moving upward and it was getting closer.I stepped out on my porch and watched as it went directly over my home.I could see it very well because it was a clear night.It was at least the size of a football field and grey mettalic with white and red recessed lights all around the edge. The large white light was in the center,on the bottom,protruding out slightly,which has always made me think I saw it taking off from the wooded area that was in the direction it came from.It made no sound and seemed to be gliding slowly.I watched till it went out of sight.I was a young mother,sober and not on drugs but no one believed me, not even my husband. I feel honored to have witnessed it.
