Black thick scroll design in wing position. I noticed, what I first thought was, an airplane. It had a large black scroll design, thick in structure, where the wing would be.
No tail. Realizing it was unusual, I turned to pick up my phone to take a picture and returned, less than 3 seconds later, to find it was gone. I stepped outside to search the sky.
There was no obstruction of the sky for miles in all directions. It was completely gone.

12 disc shaped objects float upwards and then vanish I came home from driving a few Lyft rides I walked to my backyard where my garbage cans are to throw something away when I noticed in a perfectly clear sky an orange/yellow light starting about where clouds would normally be and going very high and then disappearing. I was frozen staring at it because it did not blink or make sound. Then to my amazement another 1 appeared and started moving up while 2 more were there now too all moving exactly the same speed and distance apart.
I tried to video them as they were so clear to my eye I thought it would video great too, but to my dismay it wouldn't even show on my iphone screen. After those vanished I saw another 1, I wanted so bad for someone else to see this so I ran inside my house very quickly and got my 15 year old son up from bed and ran outside with him. When we got outside there was 3 of them very clearly moving up like the others.
I tried to take a video again and this one did work, but the video d! oes not do it justice compared to actually seeing it. When I take a screenshot of the object it looks like a spinning disc. I have 3 videos showing them.
I know what helicopters, planes, drones, lanterns look like and this was not any of them. After about 15 minutes and seeing roughly 12 of these objects it was over! I stayed outside for an hour after and looked up to see if anymore would appear but nothing. It was absolutely amazing as I have never seen anything like it before.
I wish I could know exactly what it was as I am still stumped.

Dark night sky had one area that was lit up pink, and then later on it was brilliant neon purple against the black sky. We took pictures and posted and several others saw it as well with no explanation of where the light was coming from. I could see from my front step and never saw it before this time and haven’t seen it again since.

Bullet shaped object of chrome out of control. On 8/6/18 at approximately 1:05 p.m.
, I saw, what appeared to be a helicopter, free fall to hover over the trees about a quarter mile from my building, less than 1000 feet up. It moved side to side as if troubled with control. I thought it was going to crash.
Then it turned sideways and the sun shone off it brightly. It was not a helicopter and seemed maybe bullet shaped, of bright chrome. It continued to attempt control then steadied itself for a few seconds before flying straight up above the clouds.
I could still see it through a hole in the clouds and watched until it shot off to my right, traveling fast enough that the only reason I saw it again was because the sun hit the chrome once more, before it was out of view.

I saw two triangular shaped objects with a glowing aura or haze surrounding them. The corners were rounded. The two objects had a rapid bright blinking white flash which was constant.
Looking into the sky, they were approximately 2 feet apart. I don't know what that represents in distance. The triangular shaped objects would quickly dart about an inch in distance then stay motionless for 3 to 8 seconds.
The direction of these darting movements seemed random with no particular pattern. The two objects did not dart simultaneously or even in the same direction but they did seem to stay the same approximate the distance apart the entire time I observed them which was 15 minutes.

strange object with 5 green lights follws low flying smalll aircraft I was standing in my driveway having a cigarette when I spotted a small plane flying just over the tree line it was very loud and it was being followed by an object shaped like a house with each point of the shape having large bright emerald green lights. It passed right over my house at 9:35pm. It also brought out some neighbors wondering what was going on.

20+ low-flying craft with red, green and white flashing lights Low-flying craft, blinking/flashing green light on left, red on right, with white blinking lights in center. No tail lights, but could see front blinking lights from behind as they passed over. For about 45 minutes, I saw at least 20 of these fly over from west to east.
They were moving fairly fast, and made very little sound for something flying so low. The night was very clear, I could not make out the shape too well, but one looked boomerang shaped. As they were so near, and I couldn't make out an aircraft shape,or hear a motor sound, it doesn't make any sense.
The nearest airport closes at 10:00 pm. I called the FAA tower, state police, DOT, and there were no other reports.

bright stationary object quickly shooting upwards at a 45 degree angle At midnight, looking out into the North, aside another less" bright star", a so called brighter and larger star, apparently a UFO, being stationary for a few seconds, shot up on a 45 degree angle very quickly and within a second or two, disappeared from my view. This was too far away to see anything other than the brightness of the object.

Strangly lit, loose formation of silent auircraft-like objects, with a treetop level meteor appearing during the overflight. My wife and I are both college-educated and in professional fields, she in allied health and I in information technology. On the date/time above, we were on our front porch, enjoying the relatively warm (for this time of year)air.
Our porch faces west-northwest and we have a fairly unobstucted view in that direction, free of light pollution. My wife noticed the 1st set of lights coming in from due west. I left the porch and went out into our front yard.
Through the bare branches of the trees I could see several sets of very bright lights, heading roughly from west to east. The sky was very clear that night. The lights were primarily bright red, with smaller white lights interspersed.
As we both loolked around, we noticed aproximately 12-15 of these aircraft, moving in level flight, all roughly in the same direction. They were not huddled together in a close formation, but I got the distinct impression that they were traveling together. 2 of the craft came directly over our house/property.
I would estimate that they were aproximately 2-3 thousand feet up, much lower than the commercial (and military)aircraft that we are used to seeing. They were moving quickly, but I was able to discern an aircraft shape and the speed was in line with that of a jet. No sudden movements were seen.
What was striking, however, was the almost complete lack of sound. I strained to hear anything and was able finally to catch a very soft jet engine sound. As a comparison, several nights later, I was out walking our dog and heard a jet sound.
I discovered the source of this sound at a height that was at least 3 times that of the craft that I am reporting. While this may not sound especially remarkable, the lack of noise, combined with the odd and very bright light pattern was very disconcerting. However, that isn't the end of the story.
As we were observing the numerous craft coming in from the west, but prior to their overflight of our house, my wife suddenly noticed (and drew my attention to)what we took to be a meteor at a very low altitude. It also came in from the west, but at treetop level. Coming across our road, it bifurcated.
It was intensely burning and the 2nd piece continued on along my southern property line, appearing to descend thru the trees. It very well may have landed in my back woods, which extend for about 2 acres before coming to an interstate highway. In any event, the 'meteor' was very, very close and very, very bright.
At no time did either of us think 'extraterrestrial', but we did think 'very odd'. I would not waste anyone's time unless it was far enough from the ordinary. Any information on this incident would be greatly appreciated.

It was extremely odd, and was like nothing I had Ever seen before, I hope, whatever it is, It's not a od sign. Well, I was at my grandmothers house, and I was going outside to get my other pen for my drawing notebook, and I heard this humming sound. I thought it was just my grandmother's neighbor doing some last minute yard work, so i didn't really care.
I got out of the car again and it got louder. I walked over to where it was loudest, and it was coming from this short grove of trees in the back of my grandmothers house. I just kept walking until I heard it start to get really loud.
I looked up and saw a.how should I describe it.purple like blue glow above the trees.
By now I was PRETTY scared, and I started reciting a couple prayers from the bible. Then this circular craft came out of the trees, and just hovered there, and it had these purple designs around the top of the dome. They were formed in circles with lines coming out of the sides, and they were just, glowing.
But they didn't glow normally, they were sort of, pulsating, like blood in our vains, purple colors. It was really wierd. The, this light sort of skimmed across the whole craft, like the sun reflecting of of metal, and when it left, the craft justtook off, slow at first, then fast.
I just watched it until it wasn't visible anymore. The craft was, I'm guessing, ABOUT maybe thirty feet in diameter, with the designs on the sides, and it looked like it was made of a really shiny metal, and the pulsating purple was like a design or a date or something on it. Either way the whole experience couldn't have been something I made up because I'm not the kind of person who makes this stuff up out of my mind.
((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate. We presume the alleged sighting occurred during morning hours. PD)).
