Singular object similar to star moved from one end of sky to other in 15 seconds or less. The object was high in the sky like a star but not blinking/twinkling. Just a steady glow.
Shape was circular. It moved at a fast but steady speed from the east all the way towards the northwest until it disappeared. Too fast to be a plane or ISS.

I have a video of it on my phone It was a boomerang shaped craft or atleast the portion I could see. It was moving very slowly across the sky with no sound it was around 1000 feet in the sky moving east to west I watched it all the way till it left my sight I was looking at the stars and just happens to see the object moving.

Bright light in the sky was fall extremely fast and came to a dead stop. The UFO came towards the I-10 slowly and turned on “headlights The object was easy for me to point out because it was a clear sky and there was the object that was at least 10x bigger than everything else in the sky. It caught my attention, so I decided to keep looking.
After doing this the bright “star” began to fall extremely fast, so it became instantly clear that it wasn’t a bright star. I then thought the object was a “comet” or “space debris”, but as I begin to think this, the brightly lit object stops mid fall. I am seeing all of this while driving on the interstate, so I am driving much slower than normal, probably 40 MPH.
The object that was so high in the sky, was falling at an extreme rate of speed, was the brightest object in the sky, and it was just hovering in place less than 100 feet above the bridge I’m driving on. The “object” began to slowly approach the I-10, which startled me, because I was no longer sure what I was looking at after this object did not crash into that water to my right. At this point I’m not scared, but just confused about why I can’t hear this object that is hovering so close to me and why it’s approaching the bridge so closely.
As this object began to approach the bridge and get closer, I could tell it was a black triangle.As I took a close look at this “Black Triangle”, the UFO turned on its “headlights” and illuminated the entire highway/bridge. I began to panic and drive as fast as I could because I was so scared and the cars around me were doing the same.
As I was accelerating to get away from the Black Triangle that just lit up the interstate, other cars were pulling away pst me, so I could tell other drivers felt panicked. Im certain of the details I have provided. Not that this thing is an alien, but that all of what I said is the 100% truth.
Here are the coordinates approximately of where this happened 30.016628, -90.317403.
Please get back to me, if there are any questions I can answer. This happened in Kenner, Louisiana on the I-10 heading towards Baton Rouge right by the dead trees with no leaves on the left hand side after the NORCO exit by the airport. The object did appear to have “break lights”, when I was driving away the craft headed the opposite direction, so I saw it from behind and it appeared to have red “tail lights”.

A triangle object with 2 white lights close together and a red and blue light on each side , near the airport. I was driving West on Airline Highway going towards Williams And I saw an object flying Towards traffic , coming towards my direction. I slowed down enough to observe it.
It didn’t look like any plane that I was seeing in the distance and it was going an opposite direction of any other aircraft. It was triangle with 2 white lights close together and a blue light on one side and a red light on the other. The craft seemed to be hovering, yet moving forward at a steady speed.
When I turned around it was gone. I was going to try to take a picture, but it was too late. No smoke trails or sound .

On March 18, 2019, approximately 7:30pm, I was travelling West on I-10 from Kenner to LaPlace. Half way to my left, I saw a craft(s) with a hugh bright light in front and the light wrapped around craft like a semi circle. There were no other lights.
They were 3 of them in line formation, but some distance apart from each other. They were stopped in midair not moving. They were hugh in size.
I rolled my window down and was no sound whatsoever of any plane or helicopter. I wanted to take pics or video it but travelling on interstate 70mph did not want to risk accident. That was very strange!!.

I am a star gazer. And every time after dark I'm outside looking up, the stars are directly over my house.been here for 23 years.
I know their pattern. What I saw a bright object, which I thought was a shooting star, then all of sudden it stopped and a bright light beam straight up in the sky it stayed that way for a few minutes.then it disappered.
but again appeared and did the same thing.this happened 3 times. I'm looking sw and it seemed to be not far from the airport.
Then the object which was round, it would dash across the sky, come to a complete stop at a certain point. I saw it for so long I'd counted to eight, it would repeat that for a long time.the object had lights that I could see, red and yellow.
It then changed to two objects which then turned into triangles that followed each other. They would be two and then became They did that for a while. Zizaging, moving apart and then coming together.
Then they disappered. But the round object.would move come to complete stop and repeated that a lot of times.
it was absolutely An absolutely unbelievable experience I'll never forget it.the beaming lights from the object to the sky was amazing. I'm going to set my clock for 3am.
unbelievable, but I am reluctant to tell anyone.but still going out tonight.

Believe I saw the same object again, as reported on July 4th. This time it was travelling East to West directly over Lake Pontchartrain in line with Loyola Blvd. Kenner.
It was a lot farther away, and I was wondering if it was a large bird soaring at first, but that question was resolved when it entered the clouds and slowly disappeared. It was on a trajectory that was increasing in height.half the speed of an aircraft which is why it came to my attention.
Why I thought it was the same as the one I reported on 7-4-17 was that it was pure black against the blue sky, then against the clouds. No shimmer of any sort. Military.
perhaps, but very strange speed. I'm an amateur astronomer, and very well familiarized with aviation. I've seen a lot of strange things over the lake, I'm beginning to wonder!.

It was just after sunset, and I was looking at the moon in the SE sky, when I was startled to witness a dark black object with what appeared to be a "jagged" shape. I was really taken aback because it was pitch black against the blue sky. I tried to figure out if it was a drone, but I heard no noise and saw no lights.
It traveled from the south in a straight line moving NNE. It disappeared over Lake Ponchatrain. The distance travelled had to be at least 2 miles.
It was hard to estimate the height. It took approx. 1 minute to travel across the sky.
I ran to get my camera, but the batteries were dead!!! Is it possible this was a drone? This is the oddest thing I've ever seen in the sky, and I'm an amateur astronomer. Hoping someone else might have seen it, because if you looked up around that time, there is NO WAY you could have missed it.

Noticed bright light with what looked like several pulsating red lights. Stayed stationary for a long time then drifted across sky. No noise that I could hear.
I am an aviation enthusiast and amateur astronomer. The object may have been man made, but it was very strange, so much so that I drove out to the levy to get a better look but lost sight of it and it disappeared. It must have been very large because as I got close and closer it seemed to get larger.
I am not certain but I would say it was oval. It appeared to be located near the Bonnie Carey Spillway in the Western sky just west of Kenner. Hope someone else might have got a better look to report what it was.

Looking SOUTHEAST towards the moon, I noticed a few stars in the sky. A bright circular object, similar to a star, was stationary in the sky. As I continued looking at it, the object started moving towards the moon, accelerating from right to left.
The bright circular object went from stationary to full speed in a short amount of time. I took a video from my phone.

Strange chevron-shaped ufo moving east to west over Kenner. There was a strange chevron shaped ufo hovering slowly threw the night sky. It wasn't to high though.
1000 yards from the ground would be a good estimate. And it had this sort of beaming noise while it was moving from east to west.

7 blinking lights spotted. My husband and I went out for a smoke break and I saw a odd blinking light my husband had said him and a friend saw it there about 15 mins before us going out. We walked around our back yard and spotted 6 more (some better seen then others)and grabbed out a pair of binoculars to get a better look at them all.
They were all blinking a red, green, and blue lights every now and then the light patterens would change. We noticed that two of them were moving at a very slow pace or what it seemed like to us. We came in and went out about 30 mins.
later and the one that we could see the best was completely gone along with three others. There was only three left. Once again went in and came out about a hour later and it was really cloudy so all we saw was one could not see the other two.
Don't know if they left or was just covered by clouds. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

2 circle lights moving erratically over Kenner, La My boyfriend and I saw 2 lights in an erratic circular motion for about 10 minutes. There was no beams attached to it, as to show that it came from a source on the ground. The lights were also a circular shape.
There was no sound at all. The color appeared to be a white or very light blue. ((NUFORC Note: Witness provides no contact information.

two bright flashes and some sort of movement in the same area I was standing in our back yard, watching as planes approached our airport from the north, when I caught a glimpse of a bright flash to my northeast approximately 50 degrees from the horizon. When I focused on the area where the flash came from, I saw some sort of movement in that area and then another bright flash. I continued to watch the area, but did not see anything after that.

Five motionless red lights in a roughly triangular formation sighted in north Kenner, Louisiana. On Saturday night, July 14, 2012, my wife and I were driving west on West Esplanade Ave. in Kenner, Louisiana and turned north northwest onto Driftwood Blvd.
Straight ahead were red lights in the sky in formation. We turned left onto Emile Ave. and could not see the lights.
We turned right onto Osborne Ave. but the lights were hidden by trees. I told my wife about them and we drove down Osborne and could see them to the north when we passed by houses without trees.
We turned right (due north) on Gelpi Ave. and could see five red lights in the sky in a roughly triangular formation. They did not appear to be moving.
They seemed to be suspended and motionless in the sky. They were relatively high in the sky. From our vantage point, I would estimate that they were between 30° to 45° up into the sky.
We assumed that they were over Lake Pontchartrain. As we continued driving north trying to find an unobscured viewing area, the lights suddenly faded and di! sappeared. Disappointed, we turned around and headed home.
At this point, I looked at the clock on my dashboard and mentally noted that it was at exactly 10:00 PM CDT. What was unusual about these lights is that they were above the normal flight path of planes landing or taking off from New Orleans International Airport. We see jet lights all the time.
These were not jet lights. I don’t know what they were.
