As they fell, they split into four, and separated then moved back together, then fell behind the horizon. This happened about 2:40 am.

We live out in the country on twelve acres with zero light pollution and a great view of the sky. We also have lots of air traffic from the major airports, but they are a good bit away and like many, I know what a jet liner looks like vs. other things. I’m also very familiar with iridium flares and what they look like. This did not resemble those. It should also be noted, this was definitely star level (if that makes sense) and the color of the flash and light was a very bright white light.. Stargazing is my thing, so it’s no surprise that I was looking up while I had to take my puppy out to do her business. It was around midnight and extremely cold. I had my flashlight with me so I could see if she went, or not. As I flashed it towards her, I caught a flash out of the “top of my eye” so to speak. It immediately made me look up because the source of the light was from above. At first, I thought maybe my flashlight was reflecting off of my glasses, but as I was looking up at the Big Dipper, I immediately saw a bright flashing light in the lower handle area of the constellation. It was stationary, not moving and was just flashing, but like a slow fade flash. Then, a few seconds later to the left, another light appeared..it almost appeared as if they were talking to one another in sequence. All the while, I’m standing there in disbelief, freezing and thinking, “I’ve gotta go get someone to see this or they’ll never believe me!” Not to mention the puppy is freezing too! So, I keep my eyes on these lights, and the second light begins to move towards the east, slowly fading in and out, meanwhile the first original light flashes bright again. Then, a third light appears slightly above the other two forming a triangular pattern. Now I’m really in shock and amazement because these are definitely NOT satellites the way they are moving and definitely NOT any normal aircraft that I’ve ever seen. I quickly yell for my anyone in my household to get outside ASAP and the first one to appear is my 14 year old daughter. She then witnesses the movements of the lights with me. All three lights are now flashing with one moving slowly eastward. The first initial light that appeared flashed extremely bright, moved directly to the left and then directly east, in a zigzag pattern. My daughter’s exact words were, “Whoa! That one was bright!” I told her to run in and grab my husband and my phone so I could try to video them and as soon as he opened the door they all went out! Go figure!! Now, what in the world did we see?!? Our background..business owners, married for 20 years, college education. You don’t need to contact me about this unless you want to. I just wanted to report it to have it documented. Hoping someone else saw it, too.

4 big balls of light that were horizontally next to each other but not in a perfect line. I saw them when i was driving, and when i drive back and hour later by the same spot only one of them was there. They were hovering right over where NSA is located

It was traveling at a good rate of speed, and then just evaporated and you couldn't see it any longer.

2 flashing lights seen directly over Lake Ontario about 500ft from shoreline. Started with one bright flashing orange light, too low to be a plane and was completely silent and too high to be a boat. Caught 5 min of footage halfway through another light appeared next to the first one for a bit, then shut off like a light switch. The lights came on/off for over 30min in different formations. I live directly on Lake Ontario and have seen these lights before! A craft foreign to the waters that’s all I know for certain!!!

My boyfriend was driving separately and saw the exact same thing a few cars back. It was not a drone. We were driving on I-265 South... It was the strangest thing I’ve ever seen. The way it moved was so strange. And the blinking did not resemble that of a plane. There were no clouds and it didn’t disappear into any trees.

Baton Rouge, LA
The formation of white lights appeared very much like a flying flock of white birds, only flying much higher and much faster than an airplane. They sort of looked like a string of jellyfish in the sky, flying in a curved/almost v-shape formation. I saw approximately five of these formations fly by over a span of approximately ten minutes, and they were all flying North. It was a fairly clear night.

As I focused on this bright light, it became larger/closer, and it was clear to see separation in the middle of what was becoming two objects. To ensure I was seeing things correctly, I alerted the driver only for him to confirm the same. The 2 bright lights continued to approach, and split into 4 as they covered most of the visible sky in front of us. As they began to distance from each other, formation broke, and 2 craft on the bottom took off at a 90 degree angle at a very rapid rate of speed followed by the remaining two craft as their luminescent nature disappeared into the distance. The shape of the group of crafts appeared to be triangular, yet right before they took off, the shape began to change. And although it seemed the crafts were close at this point, they almost appeared transparent of semi-transparent (possibly shiny metallic simply reflecting the sky). Despite the proximity, there was no audible sounds during the encounter.

Athens, TN
At 21:00, I was sitting in my tractor trailer in a dock door, getting loaded and enjoying the clear night sky, with the moon almost straight ahead and up and the little dipper down and to the left and a bright white star left of that which I assume to be Venus or another planet given the brightness. While focused on that planet, a movement in the sky caught my eye and it appeared as if one of the stars began to move slightly to the left of the presumed planet and then I realised there were no blinking lights or noises, and then I tried to film it with my cell phone, but it didn't appear on my sub par camera, so I watched it move further in the same direction then it appeared to zig zag slightly then just fade out as if it were never even there. I wasn't at all freaked out as it seemed peaceful, almost like it was just enjoying a nice flight under the stars or amongst them. I would like to point out that there were no visible clouds as I am posting this while still sitting in the same location.

I was walking my dog when I saw a reddish orange ball rising above the trees. At first I thought it might be a rocket launch, but it didn't have a trail, and it didn't fade out of sight like launches do. As it was rising another one appeared and the first one disappeared. Then the second one was gone. Then another appeared and within a moment another one, they rose together, but not as high as the others and then they were gone. I kept watching for more but there were no more. There was no sound and the intensity of their color varied from reddish orange to red and back again. As they rose they did so at different speeds. They were not in formation. We on the coast are accustomed to launches, I've seen many over the past 33 years. These objects were like none I have ever seen.

Pelham, AL
I was driving to work on the morning of March 22, 2018 on highway 65 from Birmingham, Alabama, to the nearby city of Pelham. It was a sunny morning, with few or no clouds, and traffic was heavy as usual but going at a good speed. I was about 5 miles from my exit, when I looked up in the sky and saw a tiny dot-sized object that was moving very slowly or maybe not at all. I would guess that it was about a mile or two away and probably not very large. It seemed to have a silvery or reflective surface. I could not tell what it was, exactly, because of its distance, and assumed it was a plane or helicopter. I looked back down at the road for no more than 1 or 2 seconds and then looked up again and it was gone. A plane or helicopter would not have been able fly out of sight that quickly, especially given the fact that it was barely moving to begin with. I immediately knew I had witnessed something unusual, and wondered if any of the other commuters had seen what I saw. I am a 52 year old man and have lived in the Birmingham area for most of my life. This was my second UFO sighting. The first one was several years ago and involved an unexplainable light hovering 5 to 10 feet from ground.

A very very bright and odd light outside in the sky over the west. No shape just a light and an energy

Bridgeport, CT
It appeared at a height between ground level and 30’ - my deck is 10’ from the ground so 20 or so - it had 3 shapes to it. A boomerang shape with the curved tip facing on an angle downward and it was outlined in small green lights. To my eye it appeared there were 2 of them, could be described as chevron shapes - outlined in green facing angled downward. Attached and above another boomerang shape with curve facing upwards. This was also covered in small green lights but the top chevron/boomerang had 2 bright yellow lights right to each side of the top of the curve of the boomerang. Between the top and the bottom a the bottom of the top boomerang was a res ((sic. Red?)) light that flashed This hung in the sky for over an hour right next to my house without making any sound. It was no sound in the ambient background and there was no sound of worrying for my propeller or any machinery and when it turned it did not make a sound and when he darted back-and-forth it made no sound but it changed shape as it turned from the side it almost looked like a dragonfly because of the boomerangs.

AT 20:50 to approximately 20:54 mountain time, I looked towards the north sky and a flashing light caught my attention. I proceeded to watch it for about 60 seconds, before I knocked on the window to call my wife outside. Still looking to the north I pointed at the sky to my wife and she started to track the same flashing light. The light had an ebb and a flow to it, sometimes flashing brilliantly and other times more like an aircraft collision light through some haze. I stepped into the yard to land mark the Big Dipper so I could reference some trajectory. I found it a bit further north and west than the north star, a third of the distance past the north star to the big dipper in distance. In the next four minutes it shifted closer than the north star and further east of it at an approximate degree shift of 25 to 30 degrees. During one of the blinks I saw it shift nearly 5 degrees in the sky before that particularly bright prolonged flash ended. The flashes metered 2-6 seconds in interval, and only lasted a second or two per flash. The flashes lacked an exact meter of interval. The movement was mostly left to right which is West to East. Sometimes the object blinked stationary. Other times it would move several degrees East South East. The type of light emission ranged between a super bright star to a dim star. White in color base.

This is interesting because it sounds like what we saw was seen in southwestern CT a few days later – in the daylight (see other posts). We were camping in our rented RV in Organ Pipe National Park, in southern Arizona, about 40 miles from the Mexican Border. We were sitting outside of the RV. It was about 8:45 pm. Suddenly, my wife noticed a bright stationary light in the northern sky, close to the horizon. I looked quickly and saw it too. From that one bright light, another bright light came out of it, then another, and another until there were four bright lights, all stationary. Then, one by one they merged back into the first light until just the original light was left. The single orb flickered once, then disappeared. No noise, and no movement, other than moving in/out of the original orb.

Wellington, FL
On March 20, 2018, at 10:15pm, in Wellington, Florida, I was walking my dog in the neighborhood. As I looked up at the star filled sky toward the east, I noticed a red light sitting in one place almost straight up (1:00 o’clock setting). I watched the object for 10 minutes with no movement what so ever as planes flew high overhead and low overhead not far from Palm Beach International airport. This object was miles high and pulsing a red light every other second. Suddenly two red beams came out of the object east and west some hundred yards from the object but they traveled equidistant from the centered object and stopped. Then the light pulsed blue and the object moved over to the east a bit further, hovered for another 3 or 4 minutes and then just disappeared. No weather balloon does that type of movement nor does it send out a microburst of light side to side that stops. A helicopter cannot go that high, ever! There was no sound.

Unidentified object flying around in the sky above Billerica, about a mile up. Very bright red light. Object hovered in one spot for a number of minutes before moving left and right at an extremely fast speed, before going up and down. The object then got bright at it appeared to take off into the horizon. Within secconds it was gone. At times, the light changed from red to green, but for the most part was red.

Witness known to us filed this report. Was driving to work heading W. on 62 at a point between Caborn Rd. and Gun Club Rd., when he saw an emerald green (like end of a pencil) object high up in his windshield. Was visible about 4 secs but he lost it when he had to look away. His wife (not with him at time) said someone else had reported an object on the radio station she listens to.

Croydon, PA
Late at night on March 20th, 2018 at approximately 3 am, my dog woke me up to go out into the backyard. I got up and let him outside and proceeded onto my deck in the rear of my yard. While I was waiting for the dog I noticed a large circular whitish or silver object off to my left moving from north to southeast. The object was moving very slowly just above the tree tops and making no sound. The object was approximately 100 to 200 hundred feet from me. The object did not emit or have any lights as a normal aircraft. I was astonished at what I was witnessing and as I watched the object proceed in front of me as I was facing southeast the object turned upward 180 degrees where it seemed to stand on end for a moment. It was then that I saw the object appear to have a different shape such as the shape of a boomerang. Then suddenly and without a sound the object disappeared directly upward and was out of view within seconds. After the object disappeared, I heard an odd growing noise near where the object disappeared and my dog began growing. I hurried my dog back into the house and my dog would not leave rear sliding door. I only told three people of this and have been trying to figure out what it was.

Evening of March 19th, time exactly I would say 11:12 pm est, was haveing a smoke at my patio door very dark night mostly cloudy to cloudy conditions low cloud bank between 10 to 15 thousand feet the object I saw and in question I saw was moving slowly west stopped shot back to the east then west looked yellowish green in color to me being it was cloudy there were no stars or planets visible at the time caught a 20 second video of the object in question watched the video in the video u can see it in the video when it moved back west it was fast the went straight up in the low clouds first thought was a flare or a firework was not the case no noise do not believe it was a plane or helicopter to cloudy to see so it was not a satellite or the iss but clearly caught something in the 20 second video u can decide looking for yourself thought it was worth report to for your attention on this subject!! We spoke via telephone with the witness, who sounded to us to be quite sincere and sober-minded. We received a video, but there is nothing distinct enough in it for us to be able to conclude what the object was. PD
