Was observing a weird rainbow color near the sun. Took a few pictures. In two pictures show a black shape in the sky. Others show the rainbow spot that moved locations in 3 min time frames. One photo shows a ball of light and a portal looking light around it. Also, an airplaine making a perfect square around the city kept passing near by trying to cover the area with those smoke lines as you can see one of the smoke lines passing through the sun in one picture.

I was just sitting on my front porch smoking a cigarrette when I looked at the sky as I normally do and I noticed that there was a very bright blue colored star that I had never seen before. The more I watched, i noticed that it was moving, but very little. It's altitude stayed pretty much the same but it was bouncing from side to side as if to steady. The blue light is not star blue, rather, it appears LED. But it is only blue, a perfect circle of blue emitted light. For the past hour it has changed altitude and position slightly, but still in relative proximity. My wife came out to watch and noticed yet another light within a couple of miles of the other. Focusing in with a camera reveals that the light is luminated by what appear to be hundreds of small lights of different colors, yet primarily blue. I have see an oval and one cone in my lifetime. They were both hauling some serious ass. These ones un-nerve me, because they are so stationary, in what seems a strategic distance apart. If i could elevate myself in my current position, I fear that I would see more of them in a line. This has been going on for an hour now, and they have yet to break position. Pictures are unfortunately on my camera because my phone will not zoom in to that altitude.. Which says A LOT because six days ago I was able to zoom in on the FEMA cargo carrier that landed at McGee Tyson, and be able to identify it from 15,000 feet.

There was 2 circle shaped lights, they were very bright and hovering. Then the lights went out, we heard a loud roaring sound like a jet and saw lighting flashing sideways. It sounded like it went straight over us, then nothing.

This all started a long time ago in 1985 when my Grandfather told me to film Mars when it was closest which was like very early fall of 2003. He told me to watch for an object he had seen that traveled up instead of down. This being an asteroid of sorts or perhaps a bolide. I did as I was told and set up my tripod and said a prayer that it would bring honor to my grandfather. Early on in the shot I got tired of filming just Mars and decided to film the moon instead. Not long after a brightly lit object that was potato shaped flew from left to the upper right at an upward angle lighting up in the moons halo as it went. Keep that at the back of your mind. Then in 2008 I got a report that the Bali volcano was about to erupt so I was watching the live camera. I saw something that looked like orbs but paid no notice of it. Then a news agency told me that an earthquake struck the region. I know from past experience that orbs appear after earthquakes, so I went to see the live camera again and much to my amazement the entire shot was nothing but wild crazy orbs flying in all directions. The critics didn’t like the film and said for me to film one in doors at my home so I went and did just that. On the first day of filming I shot three orbs traveling fast in my home appartment in Manchester. I missed the first orb in the kitchen because it was fast and the lighting was too bright which led me to believe that the object wasn’t worth my time but I remember it just the same. Then some time went by and nothing much appeared on the night vision camera. I’d been working hard in my office and it was getting late. I was about to go to my girlfriends house and I typically have that room in the dark. I noticed my phone light up but it wasn’t coming from the screen or the back of the phone. It was more like my pocket lit up. I thought nothing of it and went to open the door to go outside. Just as I turned the key the entire lock assembly lit up in a bright pleasant white light that was radiant like neon white. It flashed twice and I left the apartment feeling somewhat befuddled. I told myelf its all good and thought nothing of it. I then returned to my apartment very early that morning around quarter of six and my apartment was still fairly dark. As I went to shut the lock the same thing happened but my phone didn’t light up this time. Just the lock did and this time it was one blink and was located much closed to the inside wood. It was not my normal standard lighting and I decided to call someone to report it. Now... My mother was nearly killed by a serial killer back in the day when she was young and a bright light saved her life. I guess the killer lost his nerve when the flat desert like sand of western Kansas (there abouts) lit up bright as day all around his pickup truck. So I knew from stories I’d heard that this was not the “first” time it had happened to my family. Lastly on August 10th, 2005, I was working in a basement in Plaistow, NH, at a friend's house when the two of use decided to sit down. All of a sudden a bright ball of energy flew out of the fruit cellar in front of us and traveled right past my left side. It then bounced off the hot water heater, turned slightly then went across at a fast wobble at about eye level when it then traveled out a window. I said to her “you saw that, right?” she said yes. I am including a link to the only evidence I have and that is of the 3 orbs I filmed. The film is a composite so that the video is shorter. The times on the video are wrong the rest is accurate. Here is the youtube link. The orbs were spotted on December 27th, 2017, at around 7pm. https://youtu.be/NlKTSc2mK94 Lastly the snow looked strange on the day of the 23rd of Jan. 2018, so I photographed that.

I was looking up in the sky while I was waiting for my dog to finish eating. I noticed a light which was pretty high like a star moving Southwest towards San Diego. It was an even light, low constant glow, moving fast for the high altitude it was moving at. I thought maybe it was an aircraft but it had no marker lights flashing. Then, I thought well it was a Satellite, I have seen them before moving straight across the sky, but then it curved out to the sea, and faded out. You don't see aircraft at night unless they have flashing lights and Satellites move in straight lines. I'll keep looking. Thank You

Three lights in the sky blinking as if two on the side and on in the middle. The sky was clear and no cloud cover. Three of us watched these Lights blink off and on as they did not move. Then suddenly three smaller craft arrived. They showed up out of nowhere! Two moved slow to the right and one began to climb at an incredible rate higher then the other objects and it was very bright. As we watch this the largest object began to turn to it's right and I know because the way the lights moved. As it turned, now this object had been sitting perfectly still for 10 minutes, and now it's moving and I can see that it's disk-shaped, and it's huge! Then suddenly the area it was in seemed to magically have a cloud for it to vanish behind..it was as if it made it's own camo, and it was gone..sat and watched the other lights move away..about 13 minutes passed now...and now it's back!!!! The largest is roated it's light back to it's original postion. No cloud!! Two of us decided to get in the car and go towards it. As we headed towards the direction I saw what must have been five police cars some with there lights on no sirens some grouped together and other cutting up and down streets. Then as I turned my vehicle away I saw a large..what I can only describe as ambulance type vehicle but twice as long white, no markings or plates??..with flashing red and orange lights .. When I got home I googled if anyone had seen anything..crazy cuz all these plates are suppose to be visible and then NASA even has a statement about being able to see the international space station tonight..now I don't recall anything in the paper about this, and I'm sure just like the eclipse we had everyone would of been outside to watch that..this was no space station..this was a large round craft with smaller craft in the same facility. And the way it made it's own cloud! I'm a complete skeptic but these wasnt what NASA said..this wasn't planets sattiles ...planets...it wasnt airplanes or helicopters..the planes would have been to close together and be able to hover at complete stand still. And I'm aware helicopters can hover but the way it turned it was one large vechicle and vanished only to reappear..and the way the other smaller ones appeared out of thin air!!?! And the bright one cutting be straight up.. commercial aircraft don't movie like that... Yes the climb but the move towards a direction as they do.this cut throught the sky lime a razor higher and higher..fast! then stopped...and as the large object made its first turn..the smaller bright craft was just gone, as if it bolted out of the atmosphere. Also, the lights were not the same as a plane..very strange stuff. We have attempted to contact by telephone the source of the report, but have not been successful in reaching him. A Yakima newspaper, at NUFORC's suggestion, has attempted to find corroborating information about the alleged sighting, but has been unable to find any other reports related to the event. PD

Last night, 1/21/18, at approximately 10:45 pm, I was snuggled under my heated blanket with my cat preparing for a good night’s sleep. As I laid there, I heard what sounded sort of like a helicopter engine only with a slower engine rotation and not as choppy. Very slowly the sound became increasingly louder and soon I realized it was now over my rooftop. As I listened, I knew this was unlike anything I had ever heard before, nor could I relate the slow rate of speed in which it was traveling to any aircraft I have ever known. I laid there not moving. Suddenly I felt a tremendous “drawing” sensation in my chest, like a very strong magnetic “pull”. It didn’t hurt, but my heart literally felt like it was being drawn out of my chest and I could feel a rhythmic pulsing. At that same moment, my cat flew out from under the blankets, let out a shrill and pounced on top of the blankets, staring upwards toward the ceiling. I laid very still, resisting the urge to get up. I watched as my cats eyes remained fixated toward the ceiling. This entire encounter lasted about 15 minutes as it slowly passed, but even after another 10-15 minutes I could still faintly hear it in a distance.

I was standing in the drive way of my house. I looked up and noticed a jet in the sky with a long trail of smoke coming out the rear. Then I noticed an object about 5 inches in front of it, I'm standing on the ground. It looked like two tic-tacs, one in front of the other, but almost touching. It was traveling southwest. This object appeared higher in altitude than the jet and moving a little faster. It looked light in color, almost white. But once the sun hit it appeared a very shiny silver almost like an led light.

With a spotting scope we could see it was bright white round with six round brighter lights on one side. It has stayed in the sky moving only slightly.

On January 20, 2018, I was driving westbound on Slaughter lane west of Interstate 35 on my way home from visiting a friend. I noticed something out of the corner of my left eye and looked at the time. It was approximately 9:20 p.m. It was dark out and I was having a hard time trying to understand what I saw. There was a triangular object in the sky moving north northeast. It had lights and that is what caught my attention. It moved at a decent pace and I lost sight of it when it went over a shopping center. I have a video of the object and have uploaded onto my YouTube account. I also reported it to Mufon. Their case manager told me there was another sighting the same evening with video northeast and a little later of my video. They said the second video was quite impressive and had more detail of the object. I've never seen the report or the other video.

A circular shaped light moved steadily and smoothly across the sky, then disappeared. Several minutes later, the object reappeared in another section of the sky, moving in the same manner. It disappeared again, then again came back in another part of the sky, finally dissolving. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Saturday night at approximately 6:30 pm, my family and I were driving home through Highway 23 S, right in front of Turpentine Creek. It was a clear sky. The stars were clearly and brightly visible. My husband pointed towards the sky and said look at that. We thought it was a shooting star, but the movement was very different. The flying object was like a bright light that moved across the sky in a straight line. It was a matter of seconds before the light disappeared.

I noticed what I thought was the ISS going over head, but was unaware of any fly over for my location. I watched it as it went by and continued to be illuminated when viewing from behind. For commercial aircraft usually lighted appearance stops after the aircraft passes. This object stayed illuminated about the same after passing my location. There was no sound that I noticed and the object was over 1 mile in altitude. It appeared while I was looking up toward the west and was headed in a east direction.

Went outside in the front of my place to dump trash bag, check for mail then tighten the mount for my flag, because of wind gusts. After I got done putting my flag up I turned to the east and seen an partially transparent object moving oddly to the southeast. I didn't hear any noise, it looked like it was floating and I could not make out what the shape of it was. All I seen was reflections coming off of it, cloudy with the sun light blocked out of the sky. It could of been metallic with a mirror type polish over it. Object was about a mile away floating around between 1000 feet to 2000 feet above the ground. My position was northwest of it, the area that it floated over is a high School. By the time I had went in and got my binoculars and back out, it had disappeared. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Shamrock, TX
On 1-20-18, at 8:20 am, on I-40 east of Shamrock, Tx, I seen a glowing sphere in the sky. The sky was visible and clear with 5 other air craft flying leaving contrails/chemTrails. You could make out each air craft and the glowing sphere was closer to where you could see that it was not a air craft, it caught my eye while I was driving by glowing bright like a LED light. It started going bright and dim for about 2 mins and then faded out and blended in with sky. It reappeared 1min later, and I stopped to try to get video with my phone, but the phone could not detect the glowing sphere only the aircraft in the back round. It continued to glow for 4-5 min then disappear.
