It was cloudy out but while i was driving home in the break of the clouds a glimpse of light caught my eye. so i pulled over and watched, i could see three white lights hovering in the sky going in a circular motion getting bigger and smaller in rotation, then it just disappeared.

Listen, I just looked out of my front window and noticed what I thought was Venus. But what caught my eye immediately, was its erratic movement. It moved slightly up, down, across---and sometimes it appeared to make a half circle. The movements weren't all across the sky, either. This took place in a very small area. A family member told me it was Venus due to atmospheric temperatures. Is this true? Anyway, I've been looking at Venus all my life and never seen it move. Period. What I've read about the planet is usually about its natural movement around the sun, and its distance from Earth. Possible sighting of Sirius?? PD

Brunswick, ME
While Driving on Route One towards Bath, Maine, we saw a bright white lite to the East hovering in the sky for approximately 5 minutes. It was a very clear crisp night, the lights, did not flash they where solid bright white and it was stationary...the lights where brighter than the space station. We both noticed it and mentioned it to one another and while we where looking at the object the light disappeared. The object just vanished from sight.

I was searching online for reported UFO sightings to try and find something similar to what I saw On January 24, 2018. I found this report on www.ufosightingsdaily.com/2018/02/japanese-rocket-followed-by-ufo-on-jan.htm I saw this exact object - to the "t" exact in the sky over my home in Oak Hills, California on January 24th! I was out taking feed to my horses when they spooked/startled at something while in their pens, I turned around to look and saw this object very low in the sky - was between my house and a very large Maple tree in my backyard. I yelled to my daughter to look as it was so low in the sky I thought it was going to crash. The object banked up on the left, then up on the right, then up on the left again and then completely disappeared in the sky. I ran to the other side of my house to see if it was still visible and it was no where to be found. It was a clear and quiet early evening, about 6:30 - 7:00pm pacific time. I am very grateful for this post as I could not describe it well enough to family and friends, but now I can show them exactly what it was I saw!

Scotia, NY
I pulled over. This large object glided in front of me. No sound at all. It looked like a goal post with lights all over it and the under belly was oval and lit up gliding past me. My video does not do justice to what I saw, it's much larger then the video shows. I assume all the bright lights on it caused a poor video. Theres a strange noise on my video that I can't explain where it's coming from. 2 cars pass by, other then that I was alone in silence. Very big object, all lit up, no sound, gliding by me. NOT an airplane!! We spoke via telephone with the witness, and we found here to be sincere, and passionate about her sighting. We have viewed the video, and the object she describes above is not at all apparent to us. We see a small, lighted object, which appears to be an aircraft in flight, with standard red and green navigation lights visible. However, the witness insists that she had seen something else. PD

Fort Worth, TX
At 16:05 local time, viewing moon through 130mm reflector telescope, 25mm wide angle eye piece being used. A white rectangle object crossed my field of view for roughly 4 seconds, travelling on east to west trajectory. Appeared, cut right across the moon, then disappeared from sight. Checked satellite database, nothing on that path in area, no aircraft in area, white rectangle object wasn't visible at all to naked eye. Have researched, but no satellites compare to what this object was.

So it starts when I go home from school. I walk to my car. Feel a bit off. Saw a normal-looking helicopter flying off to the North-East. On my drive, this is what I saw. It was some type of aircraft. It was white, and was hovering around. No trail, no noise. Just kind of slightly descending for a bit. Then in another direction. The movements definitely seemed deliberate, and from the photos I've seen they look nothing like a weather balloon. Normally, I'd probably brush that off. But here's the issue. I cannot describe the shape in one word. It had at least 3-4 "wings" which were different sized spikes, long, and jagged. It looked incredibly bizarre. Nothing like anything I've seen before in my life, especially in the damn sky. I saw it about 4 times within 5 minutes. Each time, it was going in a totally different direction. The last time I saw it, it was very translucent, and it was glowing a pinkish-reddish hue. It really wasn't that high up in the sky; it was high, but low enough that I was able to be pretty damn sure of what I was looking at. After that, I had about 10 more minutes of driving. I saw that same helicopter that I saw earlier going NE, except this time it was going South to South West. Then a minute later I noticed a big black helicopter. It looked like one some type of police force or military would use. It went very fast, I lost sight of it within 10-15 seconds. The final part was when I got home, I parked outside. Looked up in the sky again hoping I'd see the original object I saw. There were about 3-4 very tiny planes. Just white with wings, kind of like a drone considering how small they were. I don't know what to make of that. I did take videos, but my damn camera made it very blurry; cell-phone cameras really are not able to produce clear images of objects 100-500 feet away. They just look mostly like blurry spherical things in the sky for the most part. Can anyone explain what in the world that was? Has anyone seen anything similar? Where should I take this from now?

Mesa, AZ
Observed from SanTan freeway (north bound) headed toward Apache Juction (by Mesa Gateway Airport). Northern Sky. Observed 8 to 10 lights in very tight proximity to each other. A perfect horizontal line of lights. The light on the left turned on first then it turned off as the light next to the right turned on and so on, then repeat. There was 1/2 seconds between transitions. These were very bright, others also had to see these lights. The lights were bright amber in color.

Herriman, UT
The Sighting was spotted over the hills facing North. My friend took a photo of it. Link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1524k5ocKFzTxvtCJMVkMRekFnwI2wzki On the east hills, I saw a man-like thing standing on the hill. Then it moved across the hill in a running motion but crossed it EXTREMELY fast! My friends are investigating that hill. One of my buddies saw the same man fall off a cliff and land completely fine and walk away unharmed. Black helicopters have been flying around. REALLY SKETCHY!

The objects could be described as orange splinters that glowed and faded in and out of sight over the course of an hour. At their brightest they appeared to be flickering as if on fire. I know these not to be regular aircrafts as I work in aviation and are familiar with the nature of modern aircraft. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

On January 24, 2018, at 4:10 AM, in the backyard of my home, I observed a bright white light that I first thought to be an approaching aircraft. However, I immediately noticed the movement of the object was different from that of an aircraft; it moved like an object seen in low Earth orbit (as one might observe the international space station traversing the sky). The movement was smooth and consistent; very similar to the way the space station or a satellite would move across the sky but this object was much lower. I estimate the altitude was between 3000 and 5000 feet. I observed the white light for approximately 2 seconds when suddenly the light completely extinguished. The object went completely dark; however I could see the dark shape of the craft continuing across the sky. The night sky was sufficiently illuminated by the stars and I could clearly see the dark object continuing across the sky from the north to the south (right to left from my position) with absolutely no lights. The lights of the craft blinked out instantly. This was not a conventional aircraft, there were no red or green directional lights on the craft, nor were there any strobe lights. There was no sound admitted from the craft. The entire sighting lasted approximately 6 seconds before I lost sight of the object behind the house. Just after the sighting I became rather nervous that I had possibly seen something I shouldn’t have seen. I was actually thinking that I might come in contact with an alien being. This thought terrified me and I immediately went inside the house. There were no additional occurrences after this. We spoke at length via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be quite sincere, and sober-minded. We suspect that he is a very reliable witness. PD

Atlantic Beach, FL
We were driving northbound on Seminole Road an object with a square front and green lights appeared behind us high in the sky and then flew past at an incredible rate of speed until it was too far away to be seen. It did not disappear but instead flew at such a high rate of speed that it was beyond or range of sight in seconds. The object appeared to be heading roughly northward.

Dana Point, CA
At 0100 today, 01/24/18, a bright orb appeared in the sky and immediately disappeared. Roughly 30 seconds later, it reappeared in the same spot and maintained its position before fading away again. Another 30 seconds went by and it was down the coast towards Laguna Beach and moving at an accelerated speed and arcing upwards. Immediately after it disappeared for the final time, helicopters and jets were seen in the night sky where it originally appeared.

Metairie, LA
The weather was light overcast with spotty clouds. The 2 UFO's I saw were due west and the 1st was approximately 45 degrees straight up from the crescent moon on my horizon about to set. It was orange and vertically oriented looking like the plume of a rocket, but was perfectly still. Its apparent size if holding at arms length was 1.25" high by .25" thick in the middle symmetrically tapering off upward & downward to a point (like a classic saucer oriented vertically but not metallic, it was rocket exhaust like) Within 3 or 4 minutes of seeing the 1st one another slowly faded in above and to the right of the 1st object. It looked exactly the same but not quite as bright. About 2 or 3 minutes later the 2nd object slowly faded out, then about 5 minutes later the original object slowly faded out as well. The whole time both objects were silent and still in the sky and still in respect to each other. I tried taking photo's with my cell phone but they didn't come out. I have lived on the same property all my life and have never witnessed anything like that before.

My daughter texted me a photo of a beam of light she saw over the New Orleans skyline around 10:00 PM this evening, January 27, 2018. She described the beam as the kind of fire-orange. It emerged from the clouds and remained for about 15-20 minutes. During that time, a second beam also appeared nearby. Then they just disappeared. Another friend also saw this and posted about it on social media. I've included his photo as well.

San Diego, CA
At 6:36pm on Tuesday 23 January 2018 I was looking up at the stars here in San Diego. It was a clear night. A single bright light, larger than any of the stars, was moving from the Southwest to the Northeast. There were no blinking anti-collision lights. There was no sound coming from it that I could hear; even though it seemed to be flying very low. It came almost directly over me. As it passed over me, I was standing on the sidewalk in front of a 2-story building. I moved a little into the street to see it continuing towards the Northeast and then it completely disappeared in about 2 seconds. It slowing faded out. I continued to look for another minute, but it never reappeared. A police helicopter happened to be flying from the east towards me about 20 seconds later. I mention that only because the helicopter appeared just a little lower than the earlier light by comparison.

Charlotte (Highland Creek), NC
After picking up my kids, I parked the car in the parking lot to get a better look at the planes. This was about 3:12 p.m. The "plane" closest to us looked to be right overhead, and looked white or metallic and very bright. It was spraying a chemtrail and then it ran out of spray and continued flying in a straight line heading back into the blue sky over the school. I thought it looked more like a TUBE than a plane. It also was low enough that I would have expected to hear an engine noise, but it was silent. I looked away for just a few moments to get my camera phone from the car. My 14-year-old daughter, in the meantime, had her phone camera and was snapping shots. When I looked back up at the sky, the "plane" had completely disappeared and was nowhere to be seen in the expanse of the blue sky. It just vanished. With 3 kids in the car, I started to drive home, and on our way, saw several other "planes" in the sky--I counted about 6 of them in the distance, in close proximity to each other, all spraying straight chemtrails. I pulled over to the side of the road to observe them and pointed them out to the kids. I asked my daughter to get shots of the many planes, but she was unable to capture the shot with all of the planes, but she did get the chemtrails in criss-cross patterns. With the kids in the car, and very astonished, I decided to drive around the corner block and return to the point where I could view the planes again. It took us no more than 2 minutes to drive around the block to the same spot. By then, every single plane had completely vanished, just like the other one. This was simply not possible. We caught the photos and now see that the vehicle closest to us did not look like a plane, but a SHINY, METALLIC, TUBE WITH OVAL SEGMENTS IN AN ANT-LIKE SHAPE and there seems to be some kind of black tubing wrapped around the side.

((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) It was a football-sized ball of light with a tail, as best we could say, since it happened so quickly, and was so bright. I was in a beauty salon at the time and we all just looked at each other in disbelief, agreeing that we had indeed seen a UFO of some description. The time was 12.15 pm, yes, 15 minutes past noon.
