Full Report Text:

I was on my back deck looking up at the stars as I often do. I noticed a cluster of three stars, 1 brighter than the other two. It was a cluster of stars I had not seen before.

I looked away to see where the big dipper was in corrolation to this cluster. When I looked back at what I believed to be a three star cluster they were no longer there. I continued to search the sky for the next 10 or so minutes but did not see them again.

White solid lights in singe file traveling West to East - one stopped changed directions they were not close to each other PS: I'm a little excited right now. I just saw what I would call a stream of UFO's flying West to East across the sky (19:20 MST) about 60 degrees from North. I go out once in awhile to humor myself.

But this just happened There were 10 or more solid lights the size of large stars streaming along the same route. They just kept coming from the West. I could see 3-4 at a time in the sky.

I tried my cell and my digital camera but got nothing - no stars either. So I must have done something wrong. At one point 2 of the lights were traveling more fairly close the 2nd of this group stopped and went in a diagonal for a sec or so.

The last one I followed traveled across the sky the just disappeared right above my place. The previous lights were viewable much further to the East. These were way high up in the sky - like airplanes at their max altitude.

No blinking - solid single white light with each. How great is that got a Christmas present early! . Probably airplanes of some sort but one can only hope Would like to know if there is an explanation for these lights.

Bright white lights evenly spaced apart moving Southwest to northeast in a continuous line and disappearing before the horizon, for at least a half an hour, not like satelites to bright and evenly spaced, at least 10 people in our group saw them, nobody has answers? We were approximately three miles from closest town so light pollution wasn't a problem.

WY UFO information I am a UFO researcher, I’m not sure why WY thinks there special because half of these sitings are not UFO’S. Flashing and Blinking reports, UFO do not flash or blink, these reports are from planes which obviously you can conclude from several of them with the colors. There is only a couple reports out of all of theses that I can say is very possible of what they saw, but as the rest they are planes.

You should definitely do you research and leave it up to the experts to do the posting.

Multiple white lights suddenly appear over wyoming I was waking up for a the morning hunt 10 miles south of the Tongue river reservoir when I was looking up at the sky to the east and observed 4 or 5 bright lights suddenly appear in the sky out of no where. The objects where spaced apart at equal distances and traveling south to north. I looked away and closed my eyes for a moment and looked up again and watched them continue to travel north.

After a minute or two of watching them more began to appear at the same place the others appeared, approximately 10 more began to appear one at a time at equal distance and speed from each other but there were a few traveling in pairs. Watch them travel north until they went out of view. All of them emitted a bright steady light as they traveled.

There were no blinking or colored lights observed that would indicate conventional aircraft.

Full Report Text:

We were driving on I-25 getting off exit 194 when we both saw a huge circular shaped aircraft. It had two bright lights as if they resembled car lights and it also had multiple colors like red, green, white. It seemed like it was “searching” for something and was hovering about 40 ft above a light pole.

The closer we got to the huge object we realized it wasn’t a helicopter it was much much bigger and oddly shaped. It started distancing itself as we drove closer it went out to the open fields. It became very bright then it was gone.

We didn’t see it anywhere.

Glowing white oval with a dark center. The object was spotted and was not moving at all for a very long time, then is slowly started moving to the left and then went straight away as it appeared to be getting smaller until we couldn't see it any longer. It was oval and glowing white.

It was in the daylight. We looked at it with a camera and zoomed in on it and also looked with binoculars. There was a dark center or design on the middle of the oval.

I personally did not get any pictures, but others did and I do not know them. Some people that saw it were tourists, but most of the people there lived in the area. Location was outdoors at a local restaurant.

Yellowstone National Park, WY

Full Report Text:

Light brighter and closer than the stars filmed moving behind the trees for five minutes with no aircraft blinking lights. Driving from Canyon Village to Norris Junction, Yellowstone National Park, I saw a bright light, brighter than the stars, moving steadily low on the horizon. No flashing lights.

Larger diameter than a star. Did not fade like a satellite. Had time to try three cameras, filmed it with my most low light camera so you can just see the shadows of trees it is passing behind, as it blinks, obscured by successive trees.

Sometimes you can see stars for comparison. This isn't the first time I've seen something like this around here. It's the first time I've filmed it.

Sorry for the blob of text, I just filmed it. Also seemed like a more random path than a satellite. I filmed a grizzly wslking the road 15 minutes before, in the dark, 10 miles away.

During filming yhe UFO, Which seemed closer than a satellite, I smelled a strong, musky odor, possibly elk. Still, it was a bit much with all that's happened, so if you find fault with the report, remember I just! filmed a full adult grizzly tens of yards from my vehicle unexpectedly (I stayed in my vehicle to film the bear), filmed the UFO from outside my vehicle, bright circle, larger than a star, closer. Closer than most other phenomenon I've seen like this.

I've not had a close encounter, closer than this anyway. White to yellow white. Brighter than Venus, which is unusually bright due to altitude here anyway.

Please excuse any typos. I'm used to reporting bollides, I drive a lot at night and have seen many more than most. This was not a bollide.

I also drive very long distances at night, that's why I've seen so many. It's dark, clear, no moon, but I would guess I was in the vicinity of the wolf Lake pullout. I'm not ruling out unknown Earth craft.

No sound, slthough I didn't turn off the radio during filming. Since I write z lot I can compose this quickly, though it's blob form, normally I write longhand. It might not have bern as straight a line as a satellite, an! d didn't change in brightness like a reflecting satellitr.

Si! nce I wa s filming, I couldn't tell if it turned slightly, and it was obscured by treetops sometimes. It wasn't accelerating, however at thst distance, it was probably fast. When I smelled the strong odor, I walked closer to my car immediately, just in case.

Stronger than most animal odors in the woods, even those I attribute, rightly or wrongly to elk. Strong musky odor. This is the first one that's stayed in view long enough to film.

Normally see them just after twilight. This video camera isn't a night video csmera, so it was at the limit of it's capabilities to film the light and faint tree shadows. Most coulfn't with this setup, I know how, even then, sometimes the camera won't allow these settings for some reason.

Tonight it did. Usually I submit bollide reports immediately, so I'm sending this right away. It was moving East along the northern treeline, I'm tired, best I can figure.

With time, as it passed, I figured out how to film it better. Seen these before, not! this bright, best I've seen, not blinding light by any mesns, brighter than a plane that distsnce, and no flashing lights. Like moon, though just larger than Venus, etc, and moving much faster.

Full Report Text:

Intense Bright Flashes for Four Hours. I woke up at 11 pm.I go to bed very early, so this is a normal wake up time for me.

I live about 10 miles East of Devil's Tower, Wyoming, in the extremely remote Black Hills.Neighbors here are about a mile apart, give or take.There is zero light pollution here.

This morning a flash of light so bright and intense caught my attention, as the house was entirely dark, no lights on whatsoever.The light caught my attention because I had my curtains closed.The curtains are very thick and dark, and allow very little light in during times of the day when the sun passes by the window to keep my house cool.

The light was so bright, it easily penetrated the dark curtains.I went over to the window and opened the curtains expecting to see a thunderstorm approaching.Nope.

Every start was easily visible.Telling me two things.1) there were no clouds, because I could see every single star from horizon to horizon in all four directions, as I checked multi! ple windows to be certain.

2) Seeing no clouds the flash of light could not have come from a thunderstorm.The flashes of light continued all the way up to the time of sun rise.The flashes of light were so intense they filled the entire sky, and for a brief moment, lit up the ground.

The flashes were not consistent, at least, not by any means I could ascertain.The flash would only last a fraction of a second, and then was gone.There were never multiple flashes, it would just flash once, and then went dark again… At first I thought maybe a meteor had caused the flash, but after seeing the flashes continue for four hours, I deduced this could not be the reason, but cannot rule out meteors, because I could never see the point of origin of the flashes, nor could I see the entire sky all at once.

There were no noises associated with the flashes, however, for the last 3 years I have been hearing ENORMOUS BOOMING noises, that seem as if to come from the ground.I did n! ot hear them during the flashes, but, when out with my dogs af! ter sunr ise, I did hear them again this morning.Are they connected somehow.

? I have no idea whatsoever at all.Are the flashes somehow connected to a plasma storm hitting the earth from the sun and a ever decreasing magnetosphere.? Again, I cannot answer this, I have not the tools to measure nor determine this.

But it is an interesting plausibility.Another thing to note here is this.EVERY single night for at least 2 years, at any given moment, there are several orbs in my sky.

If it is clear, you can see them.White Orbs, and they do some crazy stuff.Sometimes they just shoot across the sky, sometimes they stop, change directions, sometimes they hover overhead and move around almost as if dancing in the sky.

There are almost always multiple orbs.Something else to note, I have spotted them during the daytime when there are severe storms overhead.They appear BLACK during the day, and move in and out of the clouds and do the same general things they do when seen! at night.

I also noticed, and this will sound weird, but if you use something to cover the sun, and look just above or just below the sun, and wait for your eyes to adjust, you can see MILLIONS and MILLIONS of orbs.Most are moving VERY HIGH overhead, but some change direction, and some are literally only feet above me.They very well could be ALL AROUND us, but I can only see them in the INTENSE and BRIGHT sun light, so who knows.

I have so much more to say about all I have seen, but will sign off with just this.Heck.Most people will not even believe the things I have written here, much more the other anomalies I have seen with my own two eyes.

Teton Village, WY

Full Report Text:

Jackson Hole clouds morph into flying discs. At approximately 530 in the morning I was driving to work at a hotel in the Teton Village. As I was driving down Moose Wilson road I noticed two huge round cloud formations floating over the Teton mountains.

This caught my eye for two reasons, the first being the fact that the sky was clear, 360 degrees around and the second was the fact that the second formation was emitting a vapor trail. I rushed to the parking lot, jumped out of my car and began to search for these clouds. Interestingly enough, the two clouds were now just one.

The single cloud began to morph into a flattened shape and break into two more clouds as it moved to the north over the Jackson airport at an approximated altitude of 3000 feet above ground level. At that time two small black disks traveled out of the cloud backwards in my direction and morphed into two more clouds. I ran into the hotel and grabbed the front desk manager telling him to come outside to witness my claim.

We watched! for 5 minutes as these clouds again emitted six more disks, each becoming its own cloud. At that time a guest came outside and asked why we were watching those clouds when he himself also saw the clouds change shape and emit two more disks. Both witnesses exclaimed: what the hell is that.

The clouds floated further to the north until they were no longer close to our proximity. I am a private pilot and have been flying for over 20 years and never have I witnessed anything like this that defies logic. What we witnessed that morning was not explainable.

2 triangular crafts with 3 light blue lights gliding over country side in Cheyenne, WY I was just West of Cheyenne a few minutes after 10 o'clock at night leaving work. It's out in the country with big open skies and not a lot of lights or people around. I was driving and looking at the stars.

Perfect night for it, it wasn't bright outside and there were no clouds. I noticed 3 very soft blue lights in a triangular shape moving in unison, with a black body above it. These lights were not stars.

Then I noticed a second one. These lights did not blink. These crafts looked more like they were gliding rather than flying.

At first they were flying in a curve shape, then up, down very quickly. Then they disappeared. Definitely not planes or helicopters.

There was no sound. Don't think they were drones either, these were very large.
