Floating rectangle with 3 lights Last night, I had a wtf moment, still not sure what to make of it. I have never seen anything I could not identify before. I've been outside day and night my whole life, never seen anything strange.
On my way home from Portland around 630pm or so, I was about halfway home and south of Windham a few miles, on a dark two lane road through rolling small hills, no shoulder, forest on each side with sometimes trees hanging over the road. In a break of the trees, out my front windshield at about my 1 o'clock and above the tree tops, I saw a vertical object just floating in the sky (it was not moving) about 1k ft in the air, maybe a little lower. It was hard to tell how far away it was from me but probably less than 1/4 mile.
Because it was hard to tell how far away it was it’s hard to tell how big it was but im guessing it was between the size of a Chevy Suburban and a city bus, maybe bigger if it was standing on its end. It was backlit at the top like there was a light behind it and then facing me were 3 lights in a vertical row and I believe they dimmed and brightened in sequence. Because of the light behind it I could see the outline of it so i could tell it was an elongated rectangle.
It happened fast, I couldn’t stop and take a photo, by the time it registered in my mind I was under the tree canopy again and a hundred feet or so down the road and I also thought I may see it again but there were too many trees. There are no radio towers out here and it def wasn’t a balloon, a plane, a helicopter or a drone.

Formation of about 50 of more ufo's moving to the north east While observing the rising planets about 4 am this morning (not sure on the exact time) my sister and I notice a line of ufo's the size of Venus, perfectly aliened about a fist apart from each other traveling from southwest to North east about 40 or maybe 45 degrees about the horizon. At first glance it looked like about 20 planets perfectly line up then we notice they were moving, much slower than satellites and they kept coming till there was a perfect line that stretched across the Northeast to southwestern ski. Through the naked eye it looked like a parade of large planets moving across the ski that lasted 4 to 5 minutes.
Although neither one of us counted how many; there were at least 50 or more.we were in total awe and amazed at seeing this and when it was over we both wondered it anyone else had seen what we just witnessed.

One large craft way way up in the atmosphere, like 100,000 ft + maybe way more. Triangle object very large seemed to change shape to oval or it was just the angle of it moving very slow. Two objects to the left of the Larger one, they looked almost like lines.
Like a lit up line each. Both smaller objects disappeared before the larger one left. I can still see the large one but it’s moving away very slowly.
Lights all around its perimeter. Very cool, never seen anything like it. I’m not a nut job, this isn’t a hoax.
I’m a business owner age 31, male. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD)).

Very bright object observed in Maine, quite high & distant, moving very steadily across sky, covering a great distance. My friend and I just left a restaurant and saw in the perfectly clear and starry sky this object very high in the sky - it was very bright but we could tell is was very far away. There were no flashing or colored lights just a consistent bright white light.
It made no sound. We observed no other objects around in the sky. It moved very consistently through the sky but covered an enormous amount of distance quite quickly.
It seemed to begin moving upward and further away but the light was amazingly still very bright. We watched it for about five minutes and then left. We did not take any pictures.

3 Glowing circular shapes moving together in a semi-formation towards the same direction in Windham Maine. Girlfriend and I were driving down RT 115 (Tandberg Trail), slowly approaching an accident cleanup/line crew work scene and upon leaving the slowed down zone noticed 2 glowing objects in the sky- perfectly described by a previous poster as Oriental Floating Candle Light shapes or small circular hot air balloon baskets (with no balloons!). We pulled over to get a better view and take some pictures and a video with my phone.
After pulling over and eliminating the radio noise listened carefully and only heard car traffic- no sound at all came from the two shapes. As I was recording the first 2 shapes another similar one came overhead. These objects were at Helicopter flying height- no more than 1,000 - 3,000 feet in the air.
I can only assume 6' x 6' - 10' x 10' in size. They were glowing bright as if like a flame or as if they were lit up from the sun, but the sun was far too gone past the horizon to possibly shine light on an object that close to the ground. They quickly moved across the road and towards the tree line and further, as they approaching that range (closer to the sun's downed direction) they became dark from yellow to orange/red then to black- and before disappearing rapidly out of sight they were pitch black in the darkening blue sky.
After many years of working around helicopters and witnessing many types of aircraft in my life I have never seen an object that fits anything near the description of what I saw- and apparently as I've read in the Maine sighting log- several people have seen exactly what I have over the past few years.

A large turquoise colored sphere that moved slowly across the sky. I was at work outside and my co-worker called for us to look up in the sky. There we saw a turquoise colored sphere moving slowly across the black (other than 2 stars) sky.
It appeared larger than a normal aircraft would be the the light was much bluer than a plane would have. It moved slowly and seemed to turn grey right before it disappeared.

Craft rises slowly into space, takes off at speed of light into space. Was sitting out back of house alone looking at stars. Very clear night where you could see the milky way.
Bright light came from West,about the height of a regular airplane. No sound. Stopped dead in the sky almost above me.
Watched it slowly get dimmer and dimmer as it rose into space till it was faint. Took off at what had to be the speed of light, headed East. Made one streak across the whole sky in a blink.
Could tell it headed out into space. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date is approximate. PD)).
