Looks similar to the brightness and size of the north star but it is moving slightly, as if its scanning the earth from the skies. There is a top light, and then 3 smaller lights below, in a bell shape. The object moves horizontally.

I made a right on Edworthy Side Road at approximately 6:45pm on the evening of the sighting. I noticed 1 flashing red light a few hundred yards ahead. I have been on this road hundreds of times and never noticed a light before. There are no street lights. I first thought that a tower had been erected, but as I got closer I noticed there were 3 red lights. As I drove almost under it (it was slightly off the road about 40-50 feet in the air), I noticed a set of blue lights on the opposite side of the red. The red lights were staggered, like the middle one was in front of the other 2. The space between the red and blue lights was completely opaque (could not see the night sky). There was no tower, no structure, nothing. Just this floating object that was difficult to make out, other then the lights. As I drove under it I rolled my window down and stuck my head out for a closer look. Again, almost impossible to make out the edges. It just appeared darker then the night sky. As I drove past it, I became frightened and accelerated until the traffic light. There was at least 1 car on the road at the same time as me - driving about 10-20 car lengths ahead of me. They didn't appear to slow down. On my way home later that evening I took the same route home. There were no lights or structure there.

This object looking like a star from its height in the sky took a slight turn to the right away from the half moon in the clear sky. It then went on across the rest of the sky quickly and disappeared from sight. No sound or any visible flashing but it moved very fast over the whole sky. Could have been something from here but even satellites in space that I have witnessed don't move that fast.

Waiting for a bus. Spotted UFO immediately hovering over vicinity of St. Clair Reservoir Park. Took six pics on iPhone 6s. Distracted enough to not think of taking a video. After about a minute or two, two groups of young men came along sidewalk and gathered to wait for the bus. We talked briefly and no one could come up with an idea of what it could be. The head and tail were changing colour from blue to green. The head at times looked like a v-shaped jet plane and then would morph and go out of focus to more of a blob shape. Sometimes the head was a bright white colour and then it would change to the same colour as the tail. The tail was moving somewhat and had separate lights within it. Advised by admin. of UFO UpDates to report it. Update from witness: This has been explained as a kite with leds. [NUFORC annotation: Kite - Certain]

It was diamond shaped, high up in the sky, and kept hovering up and down, left to right, diagonally. It was far to high in the sky to be a drone, it didn't go on a trajectory the way a plane or satellite or even shooting star would travel. This thing was hovering. At one point it shot up high in the sky and slowly came back down. The lights were shining what looked like orange/green/purple and bright white. My son says he saw red/blue/bright white. IT DID NOT SHINE LIKE AIRPLANES DO meaning each colour 1 at a time. This was shining all the colours at once, not blinking green then orange then purple, it was all at once. The movement was irrational. And it went from my southern sky on one side of this downward pointing arrow constallation to the western sky, on the other side of this constallation. It zoomed to the west and back so quickly, i leaned forward and ripped the screen off my window, from the force of my head going right, trying to follow and just as quickly was back in the south area. It stayed in its "grid" for lack of a better word, hovering left, right, up and down, and the only time it didn't stay in the same grid was when it shot to the west, and periodically, maybe 10-12 times in the 3 hours I was watching it, it would shoot up high really fast then come back down at a slower speed, sometimes coming back down diagonally. I've seen airplanes in the sky, I've seen different satellites and I've seen shooting stars, bright red balls, all fly in the sky in my 44 years on this planet. This thing was NOT moving in a trajectory. It was going all over the place and stayed there the 3 hours I was watching. I ended up going to bed around 7:15, it was still there but the sky wasn't as black, it was starting to get grey and the things was still brighter in the sky than the stars. I swear this to be the truth, on everything I hold dear in my life. I'm scared. I've never experienced something like this and I see weird but explainable things in the sky often. I tried using my tablet to capture videos but my tablet is not great and it just looked like a star in the sky. I can say this however. It did NOT look like the videos some people sometime post where you see an actual structure in the sky, unmoving with lights. This looked like a star in the sky, but the lights and the colours were like no other star in the sky. It was at least 5 times the size of the northern star and at least 10x brighter. This thing was very bright. It made no sounds that I could hear, it did not land or anything like that. It just kept hovering in different directions, sometimes stayed in place, brightly shinning lights, and occasionally going really up high and slowly coming back down. Only once did it zoom in a blink to the west and back. Please note that although it was technically hovering like a drone, no civilian drones ive ever used or seen, goes that far up in the sky and would shine that bright when that up high. Like I said, this thing was much brighter than any star in the sky

This was a clear night and this object was completely lit up and clear. The lighting seemed amber in colour. It zipped across the sky from the west to north east at the speed if you were watching a teacher draw an arch on a black board. I usually take out recycles at this time before calling it a night and look up often. We have a small airport near by and the big airliners go right over our house to turn left and proceed to Toronto Intl. At 11pm not much Airliners are moving on this pathway but I watched this object come over my garage and zip across the sky at about 30,000 feet (guessing). No wings, just a ball with lights and it was gone.

Large triangular craft with three turbine type hover engines displaying undulating white and red lights moved over my head slowly and very quitely. But also made the birds quiet. The craft moved directly over my head, I could not tell it’s depth or if it was manned or man-able I thought at first it was a military survillance drone (?)

My girlfriend and I were on an evening walk up boucherie mountain in west Kelowna, Canada. Approximately halfway up there is a lookout spot which gave a great vantage point to the clear night sky. After admiring the stars for 10 or so minutes my girlfriend startled me by abruptly shouting out “what is that!?” And pointing into the night sky. After a brief moment my eyes came across what I can best describe as a bending of light, holding its form moving slowly across the sky at lower altitude. My uneducated guess would be maybe 10,000 ft in altitude, significantly lower than a civilian aircraft. We could not make out any details of any alien/military craft. Light appeared to be bending around an unseen object shaped almost as a chevron, but with a straight edged horizontal nose. The light bent/refracted around it was almost identical in hue to the particularly colourful deep tangerine moon. My girlfriend described the effect as looking like a “forcefield.” The craft/object moved in linear direction and speed, slowly moving across the night sky until travelling too far away to be seen. It did not leave behind any contrail. The size of said anomaly was maybe twice larger than the size of the Little Dipper, also present in the night sky. The lighting bent around it perfectly held its form, traversing a massive portion of the sky until travelling out of view.

At 9:00PM my wife noticed something over the roof of our house flying East. She pointed it out to me as I looked up the group of 9 to 12 golden orbs was in triangular shape. It looked like an airplane. Then the orbs started changing formation. It looked like they were playing and flying over and under each other. As they continued to head East they changed formation a couple more times. I tried getting my phone and snapping a couple of pictures/videos by it was too dark and all I have is a black video. As I was trying to look at my phone screen and try to get objects in sight my wife watched them stop for a second then shoot straight up and disappear. This lasted 30-45 seconds from start to finish. After that, we saw a short meteor shower/space debris falling. As we were ready to call it a night and go back inside at 9:45PM we saw the golden orbs again this time just over the Norther horizon above the tree line. This time for 5 seconds but we could still see them change formation from single file to almost boomerang shape then just disappear over school behind our house. Height is hard to judge but it was definitely higher than small planes that fly around our area and lower than most commercial fights we see. The second fly-by was much lower and looked like it was only a few hundred feet off the ground.

Looking up as it was a very clear sky I saw a shadow of a v shaped object flying from the north to the south over top of me it was big. No lights and no sound. I didn't get any pictures of it as it only was going by for a few seconds.

I was testing out my new iPhone camera on my way home from college, when I noticed a strange looking white light, I then noticed it moving really fast, it dashed in an instant, still in view though. I then noticed it change colours to green, I zoomed and could immediately tell it was a flying object of some sort and not just a light. Also in one of the pictures you can actually see 2 crafts which I did not realize at first and instead only focused on one craft.

Traveling west on TCH#2 my wife and I noticed the object in the northwest sky. Too bright outside to be a star, especially in its location. Once we turned north on Mazerolle settlement rd we lost sight of it. The object never moved while we traveled on the highway. My wife's iPhone could not pick the object with the camera even though it was as bright as a star. The object may have been lighted by the falling sun. It was nothing I'd seen before. Triangular lower portion with a much brighter sphere on top.I attached an image, it's terrible, I made it in 3D paint. As my wife's phone wouldn't pick it up, going by memory. I was and currently completely sober and in a good state of mind when this happened and so is my wife.

For the record, I've lived here all my life and I've never seen or heard of this object before. Now, since I've first spotted it, it's in the sky every night, and it stays in place all night long. It slightly moves from night to night, probably because of the Earth's rotation. The first time I saw the thing, it was around 11:30 pm, and I was walking alone in the street near my house. I saw a weird sphere in the sky that changes colors quickly; from white to purple to blue, to green to yellow to orange to red and so on. I took out my Samsung S22 Ultra and started taking videos and pictures at a high rate with the x100 zoom. In the pictures, the object appears to be circular with a hole in the middle. Since the first sighting, I can see it every night, changing colors quickly in the sky. Since then, I have shown it to multiple people, in person, who were left as confused as me. It can't be a newly placed tower because it's way too far; it can't be a drone because it stays in the same place all night long, the same goes for a plane. It can't be a satellite because of the way the lights are flashing and the colors of them; also, the shape doesn't fit the description of any satellite, the same goes for a planet. For the record, I did check on Skyview and other similar apps, and nothing, including planets, was near the sightings. Overall, I can't understand the shape nor the colors of this weird object that I can see every night now.

I was driving home after work at about 5:14 pm and looked up at the sky and saw a craft high above the tree line. It was about as high as an airplane. It had no visible wings or tail. It shined brightly like it was reflecting the sun, and then completely vanished in thin air. Clear, sunny conditions. I have a dash cam and will review the footage and see if it captured the craft.

While driving south bound, I see a flying object/orb flying from south-west to north-east at a low altitude, seemed to have constant speed and flying in a specific direction. I'm familiar with seeing planes and stars in the night sky and was trying my best to catch any other lights to signify what was flying but the object was a warm orange color which did not change during the duration of the flight. I could tell it was flying low because of the trajectory it was moving compared to other lights in the sky and the pre-sunrise on the horizon.

I was outside alone at my camp taking pictures of the northern lights. Nobody else was around/outside. Suddenly a extremely bright light appeared in sky that hovered silently in the sky on the border of the tree line and beach for approx 8 minutes. I looked away at one point for a brief moment and returned in the direction of the light and it had disappeared suddenly without any noise. I was able to take a picture. In the picture the brightest light in the sky is the object that I saw which appeared suddenly and and then disappeared. It was clearly visible with my eyes. The last picture shows the same area with no light prior to it appearing.

So, this isn't the most exciting story but I thought it was a cool experience and I have no idea what this could have been besides a UFO. I was walking my dog in my neighborhood, it was dark out and apart from a handful of small clouds it was a clear night so I was looking up often to check out the stars. At one of the times I was looking up I saw 2 lights that were high up and close together (like almost an inch apart if I held up my arm and measured with a ruler), but they were far away so I'm not sure how far apart they actually were. The front one was bright and almost looked like a star but a bit bigger, the second was also bright like a bigger star but had a light glow circle around it (about 1/4 inch diameter, if I held out a ruler at arms length and measured). Like a circle of glowing light with a brighter center dot. But it wasn't super bright, if I didn't happen to look up right where they were I wouldn't have seen them. I think the first circle might have also had a glow circle around it but much lighter than the second one. But I can't be sure, it happened so fast. They appeared to be much lower than an airplane (which I saw many of that night) and they moved very, very fast. I saw them when I looked straight up and within 5 seconds they had moved across the sky and out of sight. There was no sound at all, so it couldn't have been a low flying airplane or helicopter. They were much bigger and way faster than any satellite I've seen. They moved very fast and smoothly, it looked almost like the 2 lights were either chasing each other or were attached to something pretty big but I didn't notice a shadow or shape around the lights. The lights didn't blink and stayed the same size and brightness. I'm colourblind though so I cant speak to what colour the were or if it changed colour. I can't think of anything known that it could gave been. I don't need to be contacted by an investigator but it would be cool to find out what it was or if anyone has seen anything like this before.
