Saw craft approaching my location from the south west heading north then turn north east

I was talking on the phone when I noticed a brown/red object heading towards me. Ended phone call so I could focus on the object. It was approaching over head from the south west. It was a brown/red color. Eventually it changed direction to north east, instantly, and I could see a bright orange glow and what looked like a claw/ hatch opening from the front of the craft.

Location: West Fargo, ND, USA

Estimated Size: 2’-3’ tall

Direction from Viewer: NA
Angle of Elevation: 45
Closest Distance: Roughly 20’ away from my sons window
Estimated Speed: Unknown
Characteristics: Missing Time

My son was getting ready for bed and saw a small light being in the backyard. Once it saw my son notice it, it ran faster than light

This was not a ufo encounter but an encounter from another being, maybe inter dimensional… After dinner and cleaning up kitchen I put on a show to watch while my son played video games in his room downstairs. lt was 8pm and I decided to pour myself a glass of wine. After just 2 small sips I felt like I was going to pass out. My eye lids got heavy and I felt extreme tiredness. I laid down on the couch and closed my eyes. I fell asleep instantly and when I woke up, I panicked and flew up into a sitting position and quickly looked at the clock. It was 10:37pm. I yelled for my son and he answered and said he was still playing video games (that whole time). I said get your Jammie’s on it’s time for bed. While he was getting changed I got up to let my dog outside and then my son yelled from his room “mom!” I said what?? He came running up the stairs and said he just saw something in the backyard when looking out his window. He said it was hard to explain but it was a bright light with legs. He said as soon as he looked at it, it took off running but it ran faster than anything human or any animal could run. He showed me with his hands how tall it was and it seems to be about 2’-3’ tall. It was at this moment I knew without a doubt that I was put into a sleep state. There is no other explanation in my mind. And my son and I have had many other experiences involving other types of beings, UFOs, etc over the years. I don’t feel that this being was here to harm either of us, I believe it was observing my son and checking in on him.

A rectangular object with a line of green lights underneath

I always look up at the nightsky and this time I noticed a line of green lights moving across the sky. I could make out a faint rectangular shape around (above) it. It moved from west to east in the sky. Not directly overhead, but maybe 15 degrees to the south. I watched for about 10 seconds is it moved across the sky. It quickly faded from view. Moved at a steady pace. No clouds, could clearly see stars.

Lights moved from east to south and back east when I got t the shop

The whole day I was just feeling eerie id look around me a lot just had that feeling I was being watched. I also kept hearing whistles and it sounded different than a bird it was like a deep long whistle, but I didn’t think into it. I wanted to finish cutting this alfalfa so I stayed into the night and at the same time as the sun was setting I noticed these lights directly east, but the bottom one was not directly under the other it was kinda ahead summed it up to be a phone pole just so I didn’t freak out because I know there is one by the shop, but the shop was directly south east of where I was and the lights were straight east not long after these lights moved south over this big hill and got a whole lot brighter I started hauling ass to my pickup got to my pickup and got to the section line that goes to the road and started taking videos and a little red light appeared out of bum fuck nowhere exactly where I was. I went to go clock out and noticed these lights were directly ahead of me and they went around the shop out of my sight. I took a pic of shop because I’m a scared 18 y/o girl everything was running though my head. As I left the lights were now heading north of the phone pole. A few days later went through all the videos and you can clearly see odd faces and bodily shapes in this completely empty field and one is even seen moving out of the video frame. And the photo I took to clock out you can see a perfect shadow nothing in the shop even relatively is body shaped let alone tall enough to make a shadow. Mind you the farm I work at is all old people and one middle aged guy who are all either drunk or in bed by 9pm. I wasn’t gonna report until I went back with a friend at night to see if the lights were there and almost the exact thing happened but lights appeared and disappeared at different places on two different nights.

No of observers: 4

Location: Jamestown, ND, USA
Location details: Inside city limits / Back yard

Shape: Star


Starlike light moving erratically, north and south, back and forth, but moving at different speeds toward the west, overall.

Myself (male, 50s), my son (male, 30s), and two grandsons (15 and 11) were in the back yard, looking up at the sky for the Perseid meteor shower (which wasn't very active). My 15 year old grandson noticed the "star" moving erratically, first. After a minute or so, we all saw what he had seen.

I was laying in my zero gravity chair, facing the east, but looking straight up. The "star" was directly above us... maybe just a little east of zenith. The "star" was definitely not a satellite, as I have seen many of those before, and understand their movements. What we were seeing was what looked like a star, but it was moving (not at a steady speed) toward the west. It appeared to stop quite often, but not for long. It would also move from side to side (north and south), while still moving in a westerly direction. Sometimes slowly, and other times a little faster. After watching for about 45 minutes, I had to move my head backwards to the point where it became uncomfortable.

All of the other stars in the sky were still in their same general position, but the one we were watching had moved considerably. I also have a tree in my back yard that I could use as a landmark. After about an hour, the "star" had moved about 10 degrees toward the west. We did not watch it until it was no longer able to be seen, since it was late. It could have been lit up by itself or it could have been reflecting sunlight. There was no change in the intensity of the brightness, though.

Was explaining another ufo story of a light like a plane but no flashing lights. And how it disappeared before i could record it.

I described my possible ufo experience to my friend and as i was explaining it, it happened again but this time I kept watching it. Until it just instantly disappeared, exactly like I predicted because of what happened with the last possible UFO. But this time i watched completely and had a witness watching too.

Found taking pictures of aurora borealis

Was out capturing pictures of northern lights with my iPhone 11 to share with family. I walked one city block to get a picture without so many trees. I did not notice the cluster of lights right away as I was more focused on the northern lights.
When I got back to the house and clicking the photos to share on social media, that’s when I really noticed and zoomed in. These are not stars, planets, or airplanes.

A light that looked initially like a fluorescent glided from the west toward the east

As the light approached the 12 o clock position we both realized that it was not anything we had ever seen before. It was like a train of bright lights gliding east and very long, no noise. Was NOT an airplane, jet, helicpoter, fireworks, etc. This was a space ship !

Approx 20 seconds after the sighting, we saw three bright objects - UFOs off to the north following the spaceship in unison.

We did not have our phones outside with us and thus no pics

Appears on a clip from blink camera

When I reviewed clips the following morning I saw what at first appeared to be smoke moving in upper corner, at 11:01pm Thursday then like there was an object which appeared to move into position and stop. Clip ends as no further movement. Then a clip at 6:09 ct Friday when I let my dog out. The disc is still present in that clip. I’ve tried to figure out what it might have been to no avail. Never seen this on camera before or since. While it appeared to be just north of residence, I assume it was far in distance as others would have been out and about still and don’t know that anyone else saw it. It did send clips to family members trying to get what explanation they may have. Was thinking something military maybe?

I review my camera clips in the morning. The movement seemingly towards our location set of the camera as it is triggered by motion. It appeared to move in and stop. While it appeared over a house north of me I’m sure it was very far away. Near the end of clip you can see it triggered someone’s back light a bit to the west. I have never before or since seen anything similar on my cameras.

Bright light going into wooded area

I live on a farmstead. In back of my home is a wooded area. As I was in bed looking out the window. There was a large bright light that lasted 3 seconds. Right after you could see a light descending into the woods you could see this light hitting the branches as it went down.
I was not able follow it due to some buildings and I was a little afraid to go out side. I was by myself.

Location: Stanley, ND, USA

Shape: Rectangle
Characteristics: Landed

Large object, resembling a flat iron, sat motionless off the highway.

We were hauling a load of heating oil, eastbound from Stanley, on RT 2, when my partner called my attention to an unusual object on the north side of the highway. The object resembled a dark colored flat iron, approximately 75’ wide, and close to 100’ long. From top to bottom, I’d say it was 30', and it appeared to be sitting on hundreds of points, or legs, which kept it between 15’ and 20’ off the ground.

Weather at the time, about 12:04 PM, was 19 degrees Fahrenheit, wind blowing from the north at 16 mph, gusting 23 mph, and the skies were overcast.

I radioed the police department, back in Stanley, back at City Hall, and let them know what we had seen. They said that another caller had notified them about the object, and that a deputy was in route to the location.

At least 61 UFOs in a straight line traveling West to East at 5:45 AM unforgettable !!!

I had gotten in my hot tub around 5:45 AM and was watching the sky for satellites going over. I spotted one lone satellite going South to North , then I noticed two what looked like satellites going West to East. I thought this was unusual as I have never seen that happen before.

Then I noticed two more traveling in the same West to East line , both groups had the same spacing. As I watched they kept coming, equally spaced except for a few. Every so often there would be two side by side. I watched for what I think was maybe 5 minutes and counted as at least 61 went by. Maybe more as I might have missed one or two. The most fantastic thing I have ever seen !!!!

Lake Ashtabula. High altitude (or low orbit) light moving at extreme speeds in a zig-zag pattern.

Lake Ashtabula (10 miles N of Valley City, ND) I had been stargazing and watching a meteor shower with my girlfriend and my grandparents on this evening. Around 11:30pm, everyone started heading into the cabin to go to bed but I decided to stay by the fire for awhile longer. As I was about to get up, I saw what at first looked like a satellite, however it moved at extreme speeds in a zig-zag pattern. It appeared to be at high altitude or low earth orbit. People know me as a "space nerd" so when I saw this and told my girlfriend, she believed me when I said it was not a satellite or spacecraft. It may have been blinking but I cannot remember for sure. I am also an aircraft pilot, so I know it was not an aircraft.

4 flashing lights organized in a rectangle followed distantly by a large helicopter

4 white pulsating lights followed distantly by a large slower moving helicopter. The lights stayed perfectly distanced from one another creating a rectangular shape. They blinked one at a time in what seemed to be an organized pattern from top left, top right, bottom right, bottom left, and repeated this as long as it could be seen. I followed the lights and the helicopter but was unable to match speed. I noted that my car radio had a weird feedback at this time, and I was listening to a CD versus a radio station. Also, my headlights seems to flicker which is unusual. I attempted to take a picture in my phone if this, but it was too dark and nothing shows on it

Large rounded V shaped craft moved silently from South to North.

A friend and myself were sitting on my deck watching for the meteor shower. While we watched, I saw a large V shaped object appear and start moving from S to N. The corners were all rounded. It moved straight with the rounded point of the V in the front. It had no individual lights. It was grey/metallic and seemed to either be reflecting the city lights or the entire craft was dimly glowing. It made no noise and moved slower than an aircraft. As it went over my house, I stood up so I could continue watching and at the same time my friend yelled “I saw that!” We tried to explain it away but could not. The skies were crystal clear, there were no events happening with big lights or anything. We have an airbase nearby but it didn’t look like anything I’ve ever seen. It was a boomerang/rounded V shape. No tail, nothing inside of the V. I would say at the very least as large as a 747, but was much lower in the sky than they fly. Very strange.

Black triangular craft rising from ground with 3 lights that flashed just before the craft disappeared.

While camping my friend and I took a walk in the woods. I stopped when I saw a black triangular craft slowly rising off of the ground about 100 yards away. There were 3 lights that started to grow in intensity before the craft just vanished. My friend asked me if he was the only one who just saw what had happened and I said that I had seen it too.

Bright Red light spotted over interstate.

Early in the morning of June 1st, 2020 I was laying in bed when I looked out my window and through a break in the trees I saw a red light that one would see on top of a radio tower. It had to be over I-29 or even I-94, but it was up about the cruising altitude of a commercial jet that people would take to travel.

Anyway, I was laying there and I saw this beacon light almost, but knowing the area there's no tower that I can see from my bedroom window. It was a bright red light and it hovered in the sky for approximately 30 seconds and then gradually increased speed from a dead stop within one to two seconds, shooting off to the south west. I'd never seen anything like this in my life and it scared me.

15-20 white/pulsing/objects form/fly in triangle and disappear.Red/Blue explosions when chasing each other in sky at impossible speeds

I had been working night shift all night and noticed what appeared to be a dying star or a meteor above a row of tanks to the north west. I decided to drive up the hill away from the flares on location to see it my eyes were playing tricks. So I watched for a couple minutes and decided to go back. As I was getting back in my truck I looked up again and saw this object move from the left to the right. I thought maybe I could get a better look if I had the time to set up my telescope. Then I seen it start flashing and start to get brighter At that moment I watched it fly from the Northwest to the southwest in a matter of seconds. Then it stopped and started circling around a few other stars. I wondered if it could have been space junk or a destroyed sattelite until the 2 "stars"t was circling started to move. The 2 objects started chasing eachother moving down towards the horizon. Then as they moved around one another, they both made these strange je! rky movements and then all I could see was what looked like red electricity then a red and blue explosion that light the inside of the clouds up. After the explosion I seen one of the objects moving towards the horizon, then I notice vortex from where he was grom but it dissipated quickly. Then I seen it changed shape or take shape since the I couldn't make out the initial shape of the object since it was moving too quickly, that's when I seen it turn black and shiny. As it hit the horizon it disappeared and reappeared a  short distance from where it was. It did this twice before I lost sight of it. After that I was amazed but also shocked at what I seen. I decided to set up my telescope to see if what I seen was a sattelite flying over head or something falling from orbit. While I set up I looked towards the spot I seen the explosion. seen another object fly to the north with the same speed and movements as the others. I watched it stop in the sky and stay still. Then 2 ! more joined it and another one fly below the others and stay s! till. Th en after about 5 minutes they moved into a triangle like formation and pulse and shaking. As I watched another object maneuver around what appeared to be more stars make  another explosion followed by a bunch of little red dots and flashes, in a matter of a seconds it was done. Then one by one these objects flew into this triangle formation towards the top in the same spot as the others then speed up and disappear. I watched close to 15-20 fly through and disappear while for a second every time they passed through it looked like a very small vortex form and disappear. I was awestruck and a little frightened. At the very end I seen the bright one that I had first seen, and it passed through and disaapeared as well. Then I watch all 3 objects fly in that same pattern towards the east. As it was leaving it looked as of there was a faint line in between them. It looked like it tilted upwards, but it was hard to tell, then they disappeared. I forgot to mention that all of these o! bjects had a white light that would change intensity; the one I seen turned black had a the shape of a Bell then as it turned black it looked like a dumbbell with a bottle cap on the top towards the middle. The rest were more saucer shaped but not as compressed. The bright one was harder to make out from it’s speed and the way it pulsed. I've seen this same triangle formation years ago in Wing, ND.

Fleet of unknown fast moving bright objects

Went out this morning to look for meteors and wait for the 4:12 am Passover of Starlink. From the south shot roughly a dozen fast moving objects. They were white and bright but moving too fast to make out anything other then an orb shape. Lower then a satellite or plane. The 1st group had two. The 2nd following had 3. The 3rd group was two. The 4th group had three and the final group appeared to have 4. They all were closely grouped back to back. Moving far too fast to be birds. The final grouping evaporated in this air. I’ve been watching for meteors in the skies here for over 22 years. These were not meteor as they were not high enough. They sped up, slowed down and sped back up before disappearing.

I observed several satellites, 2 airplanes, two geese flying from north to south, a few atmospheric flashes that I presume were meteors and I counted 15 Starlinks before I stopped and went inside. The other objects are a mystery to me.

Multiple lights flying across the night sky.

My son & I were outside by my garage when I happen to look up and noticed a light that I thought was from a satellite traveling from the South West going to the North East. When I pointed it out to my son, he then said that there were a few more "lights" traveling along the same orbital path. But as we watched the lights, we noticed that there were even more "lights flying across the sky. It took the "lights" about 12 seconds to fly across the sky from where they appeared to where they disappeared. In all we counted 27 "lights" traveling across the sky.

One UFO, was driving on S 42nd street headed North when I looked across the interstate and noticed what I thought to be an airplane at first but then realized it started dropping altitude way too fast to be one, dropped fast but in a diagonal line once what appeared to be reaching city lights level, slowed and completely disappeared. Had to be a disk or circular snap with lights that blinked simultaneously.

A few nights ago I got up to let my dogs out. While waiting for them to do their business, I noticed what I thought was a plane flying swiftly through the sky.

Red Flames coming from the back end.

There were two objects in the night sky moving north to south direction. The first object was moving very fast, and there were no strobe lights like an airplane would have. Then after a few seconds there was a 2nd object with the same characteristic as the first flying behind. Same instance of flames from the back end. You could see type of wing on both sides of where the flames were coming out of the back. It wasn't balloons due to moving in a perfect straight line with no deviated course. Around the back of the object seemed to be a white aura.

Shortly after these too went into the distance at fast speeds and no sound was heard. Another object of the same characteristic came out of nowhere and from NNE to SSW direction then disappeared shortly after. As I have never seen this before and it was during the fireworks but it was way to high and going way to fast. It was like a spacecraft or even unconfirmed space debris possibly. But the strange thing it looked ! like it went out of the atmosphere due to the flames were directly showing only with the aura in a shape of wings. There was no sound coming from these objects. Very strange.

Cluster of fast moving lights traveling in a straight line.

We were sitting outside near downtown Fargo and we looked up and saw a cluster of 25 to 30 individual dots traveling in a straight line from west of southwest to east of northeast. The cluster gave off a white haze and behind the cluster were 5 or 6 stragglers that followed the exact same path. They moved a little bit faster than a satellite in the night sky and had no visible blinking lights. Maybe unrelated, but after the lights were unable to be seen a neighbor's dog barked for a few seconds.

We were sitting outside looking up at the stars and a string of white objects appeared, about 50 tiny objects in a perfectly straight line. It moved slowly across the sky and then began to spread out and fall toward the ground. It seems like there was a bigger object in the front and all the rest were following it. Then is slowly began to disappear, from the back to the front. I got my camera out and filmed it for a while, not sure if something was crashing or falling, if it was a meteor or a UFO(s) it was wild.

Strange expanding portal looking object seen in broad daylight.

My daughter, 10yrs old, boyfriend 27yrs old, and self were driving across The Memorial Bridge and had just come from a helicopter ride in Bismarck, North Dakota (they were giving these to raise money for charity) part of this "ride" was to go up the river. So we were driving over the bridge and watching the helicopter we were just in go up the river, when suddenly this white sphere looking thing appeared in the air (like it just blinked into existence) and was spinning it was about a 1/2 city block from the bridge and hanging over the water, about the size of a geo metro (weird comparison I know lol) it suddenly expanded and started to resemble a wheel with bicycle spokes it was still spinning (clockwise) and had this swirling like mass in the center of it. the wheel, spokes and mass were all a white/grey color and I instantly thought "OMG its a dimensional portal opening!!"

I slowed down as there was nobody else on the bridge (which was kinda weird at this time of day) and it expanded to about the size of a basketball court (another weird comparison lol) either way it was huge. and It stayed this size for about 5 seconds. then like stopped spinning and went in reverse and started shrinking in size back to the geo metro size it started with and then got smaller and blinked out of existence. we all saw this object, and once it disappeared I drove down to sit under the bridge to see if it would come back and it did not. while we were down there I made everyone draw what they saw and we all compared drawings and it was weird cause my kid saw some kind of symbols within it. (I will send the drawings of the object for your report. anyway very odd. my brother also had a very strange incident happen at our lake cabin last summer (Lake Sakakawea) that I would like to report. There was missing time involved with my brothers encounter. Anyway that is my report.

There was a cloud layer as well. The clouds were fairly low that night. Only reason I even saw it and was able to make out its shape. I was standing outside and staring out into the sky as I do many nights. The flying V just happened to cross in my field of view and caught my attention. It was visible for about 10 seconds before I lost track of it in the dark. No lights at all at any point, and no sound!

5-6 lights slowly moving in my pasture

I got up before 5 am MT on November 9th, 2018 as is usual for me. When I looked out my window I saw several lights moving slowly down and around the hill in my pasture. I immediately went outside to get a better look and indeed there were 5-6 separate lights that I assumed to be from UTV’s and/or ATV’s. Knowing they had to be trailered in as there is no road access, I went back inside to get a coat, boots (there was a light coating of snow) and of course coffee before heading down the hill to see who it was. I was in no hurry knowing they couldn’t get out of there quickly due to the Badlands terrain.

Returning to the shop I took out the truck and I was now visible to them with shop lights on and headlights. At this point I saw a much larger vehicle I assumed to be a big semi-truck, turn on its lights and it also had several amber “curtesy” lights above the headlights. My intention was to go down and get a photo of the license plate. About 30 minutes had passed and they were still out there.

They made no sound, were non-threatening and my dogs did not bark nor were the horses upset.

I then videotaped the lights on my phone which were still moving slowly around my pasture as if they were looking for something. At the time, I believed they were “shining” for deer or poaching. Not being able to drive directly down the hill due to the snow cover I went around to the back gate, which took about 2 minutes, to get a picture of the trailer they had to be hauled in on. It was still dark but there was some moon reflection off the snow. I found nothing at the back gate. No truck or trailer, no tracks, nothing, so I went to the neighbors on the opposite side of the hill to see if they were parked up there. Again, nothing.

I went back home and the lights were gone. About 45 minutes had passed and it was starting to get light. I drove all around my property, about 10 miles or more, looking for tracks how they got in. Nothing. No tracks anywhere, at any point, no evidence whatsoever that anyone had been in my landlocked pasture.

The only evidence I have are the photos captured from the video I made. The photos are of machines like nothing I have ever seen; nor any person I have shown them too. I notified law enforcement and posted it on Facebook.

I was out at double ditch with a friend we were star gazing and noticed two lights running paraell to each other and they flared brightly which caught our attention,and they were moving together and this thing was friggin huge and it moved across the sky and went over our heads and at one point one of the lights like shot off three smaller lights which moved outward and placed themselves in the sky like stars. The two lights that were on opposite ends of this large long object continued moving across the sky toward the east till it faded from sight. The three objects that were ejected stayed stationary in the sky disguised as stars! What a perfect cover to conceal themselves as stars....was our thought.

Red erratic flying orbs

It was July 4th, 2018, and we had just got back to town after driving all day from Bozeman to Williston. It wasn't fully dark out yet but getting closer and there were some premature fireworks going off throughout town. I went to check the mail that was usually left between the storm door and screen door at the front of our townhome (not ours anymore). When I opened the door, I looked outside and about 70 yards away were two red orbs. This is when drones started to get popular in our area, so I immediately thought it was two drones.

They were flying close to one of the streetlights about 30' in the air in tight erratic circles around each other at first, then it was almost like they saw me and came slightly closer, 2-5 yards. I laughed it off thinking it was someone flying drones but after about 20-30 seconds of me observing them, they darted off towards and across the Little Muddy River. The distance they covered before I lost sight of them was 3/4 of a mile, they covered that distance in about 1-2 seconds. When that happened, I immediately thought there was no way that was a drone. I own a drone now and am not able to maneuver it the way those orbs were flying, nor fly it that fast. Maybe other drones can do that, but my DJI Mavic 2 mini cannot.

I would have reported this sooner, but only recently just learned of this reporting tool. The orbs couldn't have been any bigger than a softball or a dodgeball. I don't recall any noise being emitted either.

Shape: Sphere


I observed a small sphere hover than fly away from me.

I was pulling into my garage of my apartment complex in West Fargo on July 1 at 9:20 pm. I began to back my car into the garage, when out of the corner of my eye, I see something in the sky. I put my vehicle into neutral and pulled the parking brake before exiting to get a closer look at what it was. As soon as I put my eyes on the object I knew it was something I had never seen before. It was a metallic sphere around 3 feet in diameter, the color was dull but I could tell it was solid metal. At first eye contact I was about 50ft from the object and it was hovering 5-10ft above the power lines that run perpendicular with the road. As soon as I consciously thought, "That's a ufo" the object began to move. I ran closer to the power lines and began to pull my cellphone from my pocket to record video. The object moved quickly north east directly into the wind. It moved how i would describe "on a rope" as if it was not affected by the wind which ! is strange for a typical object of that size like a balloon. I would estimate the object went from standstill to moving around 30mph in under 5 seconds. After I finally was able to retrieve my cellphone from my pocket and open the camera to record I estimate the object was 2000ft away from me and at an altitude of 1000ft. The video i recorded you can see the object but its very small and you cant get much from it other than that it confirms I did see an object. After I recorded for around 10 seconds I watched it go directly into a large storm cloud and disappear from sight. I believe its important to add that I believe im a credible observer who is unlikely to misidentify a drone or balloon being that I have lots of experience with drones. It made no sound from what I could tell. Also my father and Uncle were both f-16 pilots in the Air National Guard flying out of Fargo and I have lots of experience identifying aircraft.

Two oval-shaped craft over the river in Bismarck

Two oval shaped brightly lit craft passed very low over the river, low enough to create a wake in the water below. There was a loud and low hum which grew in intensity as the craft went along the water way before turning sharply upwards at an almost 90 degree angle. They went up pretty high and sort of hovered for around 30 seconds before vanishing entirely. Lots of dogs barking until they disappeared. My fiancee and a couple we were entertaining all witnessed this.

Bright Burning Fire Ball Very Large Black Dark Contrail leaving our space.

On the 29th of December 2017, at close to 5:32 pm, I saw a Burning object skirting across the southern sky at about the 4 o'clock position flying above a cloud bank that was on the edge of the North and South Dakota borders. I live about 40 miles north of the South Dakota Border and Skies were clear. I was watching a few deer I feed in my farm yard and it was dark enough only to see them closely with a pair of good Binoculars. As I was watching them, I noticed a burning object in the top of the lens flying across the sky what I thought was about 30-40 miles away and left the most large contrail I have ever seen dark like the clouds it was flying over. It had a flame that looked like a burning oil well fire like you lit a farmers match but real black contrail.

At first I thought it was something burning up coming into our atmosphere and coming or flying in a North East Direction, but it was flying parallel to the clouds then started to fly upward in a north east direction and once it got up in the sky the object turned into just a bright light no flames I could see any more. It flew up to a tiny spec and then was lost in the stars that were just coming out to see at an 11:00 position looking south. I could not tell any form. It was just luck I had seen this but was quite a thing to see. I live on a farm in a very remote area and have no light pollution. I reported this to a local radio station and he read my email on air. I wanted to see if anyone else had seen it and there were no responses. This would be my 3rd object I have seen over the years I have lived here. Always looking for our visitors in the skies.

Location: Grand Forks, ND, USA

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Lights on object, Animals reacted

Strange animal behavior prior to appearance of lights.

I live in Grand Forks, ND but work in a small community 30 miles away. I work the PM shift (2:30p - 11:00p) so am on the highway commuting frequently.

There are 2 routes available, a Interstate roadway and a "back road" way on a county highway. I often use the county road as there is less traffic and it is a more direct route to my residence. One disadvantage of this route is the high number of deer that live in the woody areas that line this road. I have been commuting this route for 2+ years and have seen deer on or next to the road 90% off the time on my drive home.

There is an area about halfway through my drive where groups of deer seem to gather most frequently. I am familiar with this area and slow down to 30 mph as I pass through this section. These deer are accustomed to traffic on the road as they usually just look at you as you drive through.

On 12/10/17 at approximately 23:45, I was driving through this area and noticed several strange and unexplained events: 1) I saw a group of approximately 20 deer on the East side of the road that were all standing and facing the West. 30 feet further down the road 3 deer were standing on the roadway and looking West. I had slowed to a near stop and honked my horn to encourage the deer on the road to move on. They jumped in fear when I honked and looked at me briefly, then looked West again. I was close enough to the deer at this point to notice that they were in a state of panic. I came to a complete stop and honked my horn for several seconds. The deer did not move. I looked in my rearview mirror to check that no traffic was coming up behind me, then opened my door and got out with the intention of yelling or approaching the deer to make them scatter.

2) It was at this time that I heard a very low "humming" sound that to me seemed to originate in the sky directly above me. I looked up to the sky and did not see anything. I then looked at the deer and yelled "hey" to scatter them. They looked at me and then looked towards the West. It was as if they acknowledged my presence but just did not care. I then walked toward the deer and yelled again, at which point the deer slowly exited to the East off the road but they continued to turn their heads to look West.

3) I looked towards the South to make sure traffic had not approached while I was focused on the deer. At this time the low "hum" quickly changed tone and seemed to gain bass frequency. There was a "swooshing" or "hissing" sound that was very brief, however, immediately following that sound the "humming" seemed to rapidly change in direction and no longer originated directly above me. It was now originating in the sky to the West. It sounded very close but I could not see anything. The "humming" became almost rhythmic in nature with a fast increase and decrease in intensity. I felt the need to get back in my car immediately. As I walked a step or two towards my car the "humming" abruptly stopped and the deer behind me ran across the road toward the West. Judging by the sound I heard the larger group of deer to my South were doing the same thing.

4) I was startled by the sudden movement of the deer close to me and quickly moved to my car door. As I was opening the door I happened to look up and to the East and saw many red circles of light in the sky. It appeared to me that they were quite high and in a basic straight line. I would estimate 70 individual lights. All red and completely solid, no flashing or flickering. I was kind of frozen in shock and probably fear and just stared. I would estimate that 10-20 seconds later the line of lights became off-set, with the majority of lights appearing to rise higher then the ones that did not move. It was not a uniform shift, by which I mean that it did not split evenly. The lights more to the North had the most concentration of what appeared to be a increase in height. There was a distinct noise that I immediately recognized as hearing before but I am unable to verbalize how it sounded. The closest I can get to a description would be the sound of a coin that is spinning on! a table top, but that is not quite right. The lights did not move again or appear to move, they just disappeared. Almost like they just turned off. All at once. I immediately got into my car and drove home as calmly as I could.

I do not know what it was that I saw or heard, but I am 100% positive the deer were reacting to it.

Three star sized orbs in orbital pattern around Ursa Major star Alioth.

Approximately 7:10am 9th December 2017 two male occupants on a hunting outing were traveling northwest of Washburn, ND, on a section line road. Both men exited the vehicle and looked north into a clear and calm northern sky. The Constellation Ursa Major or the "Big Dipper" was in very clear full view. Both men very clearly saw activity around the brightest star of the handle portion of the Constellation. The star Alioth appeared to have 3 objects orbiting in a similar manner protons orbit a nucleus. The objects stayed the same relative distance from each other as they chased each other in opposite proximity. For instance, one object would be above and the other below, or east while the other west. The objects moved in their orbit at a speed similar to a candle flickering. The objects orbit covered about one or two degrees of sky or similar to making an inch with thumb and index finger and extending one's arm as a scale.

The activity may have been ongoing prior to the witnesses sighting as the event was viewed as it ended. The time of witness and end was approximately 30 seconds. The objects broke the orbiting pattern and moved away from each other about 3 degrees before flashing and fading out. The fade away left visible tales or streaks in the sky and faded away.

One witness is well versed in aircraft, flight patterns and abilities both commercial and military. The flight characteristics of the objects were very precise and calculated. The patterns and characteristics could not be duplicated with any known aircraft. Witness is knowledgeable in general astronomy and phenomenon.

Light orb came down out of sky in close enough proximity, I got video of it. Came down quickly but then moved about slowly...

I was outside with my dog and noticed random lights scattered around the sky that had a similar appearance as the stars. Yet, the look of them seemed off some how. While looking at them, one started to appear like it waz coming down out of the sky directly at me. It came down close enough at me, I was able to record video of it until it moved off and I lost sight of it behind some trees. It was a mostly circular light (had some slight variations in shape) with some slight color changes to it. It is a similar type light used on some of the drones I see out. Lots of suspicious drone activity around here. And, now even more suspicious that some of the drones (if thats what every flying object I see is? As I also saw a larger triangle shaped flying object few weeks later) have lighting that appears similar to these light orbs. After recording the light orb, I immediately started showing my video to other people... some of whom told me they had seen similar light orbs elsewhere. I want to know what these light orbs are, why some of the drones are using lights similar to these light orbs and why the orbs and some drone lights look similar to the stars in the sky? This, in addition to the fake looking clouds and weird sunsets etc, I have been seeing. I have tried getting answers through people at local airport, geo-engineer staff, city workers... and just get different answers from everyone....which tells me someone is lying or noone seems to know what is happening. Went to the radio station as well. Also, since I show people my video. and pics, I am having more people approach me to share stories about light orbs they are seeing... and all within past few months... aaahh. Anywho, I am nearing 40, have multiple college degrees, have always enjoyed observing sky... grew up in Montana, aka the Big Sky State. And, have noticed different looks to the sunsets, clouds, and color variations in the sky here... not sure what up. Thank you for your time and this site.

P.S. i would email you my video of the light orb yet data size obstructs me from doing so, az i have tried sending to other people...if you know way that works, would gladly do. Thanks!

Went outside on apartment patio to view weather. Which is hot and muggy, and see flashes of lightening off in the distance. We are suppose to have a thunder storm of sorts.

When I looked up to the south of the sky I viewed what seemed to be a star which wasn't moving at a fast rate than being a plane. Color was white but from seeing it move fast it turned into what was a circle or ball of red.

Saw one and seen 2 more others do the same thing, there were low clouds and when the clouds were moving they seemed to move past them and then disappear.

Stayed outside for about 15 minutes to see if this was a plane but it was not.

Was in the backyard hot tub looking up at the sky and looking for "shooting stars" when a triangular figure that appeared to be brownish in color moved from North to South directly over Fargo… I would guess at an altitude of 5,000 to 10,000 feet...no sound. First thought was a plane taking off from Hector but no lights, blinking or constant were seen...just the outline of the triangle.

Never have seen anything like this, never reported anything before....wondered if it was a B2 flying from Grand Forks....who knows?

Characteristics: Lights on object

3 lights in triangular formation moving slowly across tree line.

I usually walk my 2 dogs, individually walking one and then the other. While walking the first I saw a red blinking light, which appeared low on the horizon. Moments later as the light continued to slowly move from north to east I saw a second blinking red light directly below the first. This light had been hidden by the tree line, but came into view as it moved past the trees. These 2 lights appeared to be aligned vertically with the lights blinking alternatively. I then saw a third light forming the shape of an isosceles triangle on it’s side. The structure continued to hold shape as it arched behind tree line.

I ran to house and called to my wife, “You got to see this!” I said. She arrived in time to see the lights just before they again disappeared behind the trees. The craft moved too slowly to be the type of planes I usually see in this area. The craft was silent.

I returned the first dog and leashed up my other dog for her walk. As I walked out the door towards the drive way I saw the lights again circling past the other end of the street. At arm's length, the two perpendicular lights appears to be about 1–1 ½ inches apart. From where I stood, they appeared at about 30 degrees above the horizon. It disappeared from view after about 45 seconds during the second sighting.

23:33 Fargo ND one craft seen in south east sky hovering over red river. Moved - flashing lights for few sec then went away 6-10 min

46°50'23.5"N 96°50'20.3"W 46.839858, -96.838962 Looking towards Directions 46°50'21.9"N 96°50'13.2"W 46.839410, -96.836999

At approximately 23:33 August 14, 2016, while on a walk near 28th st Fargo, ND. I looked up and seen a very bright object. It was too bright for a plane and it was not blinking. It moved North West and seemed to be positioned over the red river south east of me. I grabbed my phone and tried to take a video but could not get a very good resolution. It was somewhat flat on the bottom mixed with a sphere look. The entire object seemed to be a bright glow. As it slowed down I started seeing green, yellow, blue and red colors flashing a few times below. After that it moved south east very slowly and stopped again. I only seen a few colors on the bottom.

After sitting for a few minutes, it started to move slow going south east again. It seemed to gain elevation as the complete opposite as it had done while getting closer to its destination. There was no noise and when looking at the video I took it seemed to be approximately the same size of the moon in the camera however it was only 1/8 size in real life. The object started to dim as it gained altitude and distance away from me. I do have the videos and one picture.

This has been more than a dozen sightings in my life both in the US and Australia. The first being in summer of 2008 three blocks west of red river in Grand Forks, ND, on the north side of the city. Triangle craft flew over our house. No sound, tree top height, it had three white glowing domes on bottom of craft located in each edge of the triangle.

A red light started to appear and lines going towards the red light located in the exact center. It then started accelerating very quickly and with the speed and no noise we came to a conclusion that it is using anti-gravity or magnetic propulsion.

As we watched it go directly south we noticed the curvature of the earth. It continued going straight instead of increasing altitude with the earth.

Two witnesses for several events.

Black Triangle UFO hovering East to West over a University Campus

I observed a UFO while I was walking out of my apartment building. I observed it at about 300 feet AGL. It was black and was in the shape of a triangle. It seemed to be piloted. It was not in the normal shape of an unmanned aerial system.

The wind was reported to light and variable at the time of the sighting.

The UFO was also seen by multiple people I talked with that were in the area. It had no detail to it. It was solid black.

It moved across the sky East to West slowly. Winds are predominantly from the North.

Still photo capture of 4 lights with unusual movement in the night sky.

I only have a photo that I had taken of the sky. I have been a professional photographer for 30 years and was shooting the aurora borealis, the night of June 5th and 6th. I had taken a test shot with a different lens, than what I had been using. I didn't see the objects, until I was going through the photos, a couple days, later.

The photo was taken with a Canon 5D MkII. The lens was a Canon 135mm F/2 L. The exposure was taken from a tripod for 5 sec., at f/3.2. The camera was set at ISO 1,250.

The camera was looking to the ENE, and you can see the horizon line for further positioning reference. The stars all show the movement over the 5 sec length of the exposure. 4 of the lights in the sky seem to show a rapid and matching movements. 2 of the lights are near the center of the photo, and 2 are near the bottom of the photo, to the right of center.

Blue, flare like light.

I was delivering newspapers in the early morning and the sky was dark then the sky turned light and a blue, flare like light went across the sky from my left to my right. It was sparkly and only lasted a few seconds until it disappeared completely. It didn't make any noises.
