Olive Branch, MS
On Jan. 2, 2018, my husband (former airline pilot with 22,000 hours) and I were traveling on Lamar Ext. (Hwy. 78), coming our of Olive Branch, Mississippi to Memphis. Just before the Tennessee line, I witnessed two cylindrical objects or shadows moving vertically over the face of a full wolf moon. My husband viewed one, and I viewed both. #2 was higher than #1. He was driving and #2 was out of the bright face of the moon and could no longer be seen when he observed #1. Once the objects or shadows were out of the bright face of the moon, they were no longer visible. Other people viewed this I am sure, speak up.

Taking my dogs out at 5am, like I do every morning, except this morning I notice the yard is lit up in a blueish white color and couldn't find source....until I looked up and a glowing white object just took off so fast it was hard to even comprehend. It looked like a firework blasting across the sky it had a trail and then got so bright it just disappeared after. I saw a kid on YouTube who lives in the area say he saw a similar thing, but I can't find any film of it. It hovered long enough for me to notice my backyard being lit up and stood still for a split second when I looked up but then just blasted off and disappeared. My dogs must have heard something I didn't because they both ran back to the door I let them out of and hit it trying to go back in after the object exploded off disappearing.

Driving down Cactus rd and see a orange, red flame like ball in the sky, it slowly rose and floated across the city sky. Heading in no particular direction (more north then anything else ) on a slow uncertain path until it’s flame like existence just went out and we could not see it any more. There were planes in the sky at the time and it was clear this object was not a plane. Both planes had a straight path and this object floated in a side ways, low path, no more then 500 feet above the city.

Morristown, VT
We spotted the object in the southern sky with pulsating red, green, and yellow lights. The object was situated at the 30 degree angle from the horizon. After approximately 1/2 hour, it move to a higher altitude to aprroximately 45 degree angle. An airplane flew right by the object but it’s unclear the distance between the two. The object did not move when the airplane passed by. As of now, the object remains in the sky and it’s more of a diamond shaped object. We’re not UFO hunters. We just happen to spot it.

Two objects were moving erratically in the southern sky. They were much brighter than any star and were orange-red in color with slightly pulsating brightness. The objects were about 1 to 3 degrees apart but did not remain at a fixed distance apart. They did not move like airplanes and did not make any noise. After a few minutes they appeared to move rapidly away as the brightness dimmed very quickly.

My husband went outside to use our grill and quickly called me out to our back deck. He pointed out a bright light, which appeared to be hovering in the distance, on the left side of our property. He then pointed to the opposite side of our property and there were between 5-7 very bright lights, which also appeared to hovering. When scanning from the right side of our house to the left side, you could clearly see they formed a semi circle around the area. Since there were some trees obstructing our view outside, we ran inside to a large window in the dining room on the side of the house. From there, we were able to get a very clear view of the lights to the right of our house. None were moving, all appeared to be hovering. We questioned if they were perhaps planes, but again, they were not moving and there were no additional lights on them. Also, I'm sure planes would not even be allowed that close in proximity to each other. I assume being that clo! se they would be considered in each others air space. We sat there and watched them for about 20 minutes and then they abruptly disappeared. They did not fly away or dim, they literally just disappeared. My husband took video from inside the house which did not come out good, likely due to the window glare. Shortly after they disappeared (about 10 minutes), another appeared by itself. I took video of this one from our deck. It is not good quality, you can only tell that it is a bright light, BUT you can plainly see that it is not moving, just hovering. We're not totally sure what we saw, but these were definitely not planes. Very curious to know if anyone else in the area saw this as well. We live in Lowell, MA. The Concord River is directly to the left of our house.

Moss Beach, CA
While at Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, at approximately 4:46 PM, the sun was setting so the perfect moment to capture the moment came upon me. Although, while looking back the pictures after I got home, between the several photos that I had captured, there is an apparent green object, almost in a full circle, but not quite. I took several photos of the sunset, focusing the sun in different corners of the shot, and the circle appears in the same spot. I have done my own research, seeing if any others that occupied the beach that evening had possibly captured that same thing, but have yet to find anything. In addition, I have taken into consideration that it could be a possible meteor or iridium flare. I’m not fully convinced though.

4 Bright Orange Lights in the sky few miles out formation in a group moving and then fading out as if traveling away from me....Going to work and at 2:54am on new years day morning, i had just left the house and saw 4 bright orange lights what looked to be about 40 degrees 5 miles away in the very clear sky. I am 44yrs old, amateur astronomer for decades-own an 8" and 15" reflector telescope that i ground, polished, figured and built myself i share this info to give me some sort of credibility in my sky observation ability's. the bight orange lights were silent (jet sound/helicopter) lights were hovering toward another till one by one they diminished in size as if they were traveling away from me. flares/fireworks out of the question. this was truly my first experience with ufos. my first thoughts were flares but ruled that out fairly quickly after the motions were being controlled. well that's all i got. thank you.

I was driving home from a New Year's Eve party on my way home on Interstate 4 heading east I look towards the left and saw some fireworks earlier however when I looked over a little bit down the road I seen lights in a circular formation. Sitting still with no flickering the way the lights seemed to be shining seemed like they were all PMing from focal point inside the clouds I thought maybe the lighter could have came from something from down on the grounds but the lights seem to be shining out rather then being projected from the ground. I started at it until I couldn't see it anymore. I'm sure there were many people to see this because it caused number to number traffic for a while I have a video and some pictures

My daughter and I saw a Christmas ornament shaped object that was gold/bronze color. When I asked her to get my phone to record it, I saw it change from a round so to speak object to an upside down bell shape. We marveled over the fact that it looked completely different in color than what we normally see in the air. My daughter has been so scared that she is still saying it was just a fire work after 45 minutes. She has stopped shaking, but yet is scared to death. Wondering if it is going to attack us. She states she saw it go up in the sky then drop and disappear. I saw the same thing. Neither of us wanted to call 911 because we did not want to make a huge commotion about this as she is, so freaked out this is the only way I can express what happened. Even now as I ask her what she saw she is still stating it was a firework. Which we both know was not the case. It took place at zip code 33908. Call me at 317-((# deleted)). Name is ((first name deleted)). I have left messages elsewhere in the mufon community. Thank you.

Mooresville, NC
Let dogs out to go potty at 12:25am on New Year's Eve and was immediately shocked to see 3 very bright lights flying in a V formation over Lake Norman in NC. The lights were too large and too bright to possibly be any commercial aircraft and they were in a specific V or Triangle, flying faster than possible by airplanes. It was also massive in size, could not be a drone. They suddenly disappeared. I was in shock. This morning, I Googled to see if anyone else had seen the same thing and found videos from the Charlotte Observer that people had captured over NC about a week ago, 12/17. The videos show the exact same thing I saw last night.

7 orange low altitude craft flying in close formation. Sonic booms were heard in the area around the same time of sighting by different witnesses. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Hi there, sorry for the delay. I am attaching pictures for you. I unfortunately was not a witness but was told of the event as I went the opposite way home as the witnesses. The booms were heard from my daughter and family, and the timing was spot on. As for the pictures, my friend who took them said objects were orange and low in the sky. When she saw pictures they look far away and are white. She said they looked like they had tails. She doesn't remember any sounds. I hope this helps and I'd like to know if any other sightings we're reported in the area. ((END ADDENDUM))

On January 1st 2018 between the time of 12:15-12:30 am. While walking to my cousins house, returning from watching fireworks from the Belle Meade area of Biscayne Bay in Miami Florida. I was walking West on NE 72nd Street when I noticed a very bright red/orange light coming from the NW direction. The object from the best I could tell was far away across Biscayne Boulevard over another neighborhood. When it got directly in front of me, still far away it stopped and hovered in one spot for several seconds. I could not hear if it made any sound and it was still very, very bright red. I thought it was a helicopter but it made no noise and didn't have search lights. The light/s shut off on the object and it flew South in a straight line. I could still see it and tracked it for a few seconds before it was out of site. It looked gray and was oval/disc shaped. I told my wife what I was seeing right when the lights went out, so she nor any of the others in our group ! witnessed it. The entire event was took place in less than 30 seconds.

Shortly after midnight new years eve at about 00:10 I noticed an orange orb moving Out of the north north east at low altitude. It was traveling slowly with no typical aircraft navigation lights. Within very few seconds another appeared behind it in the same flight path and then another until there were five. Then it was as if they turned away one at a time and faded away. Within seconds 3 more appeared from the original location. They followed a simular path and then faded away as well. My wife and 15 year old daughter saw them as well. This continued for around fifteen to twenty minutes. Through binoculars they looked like just orange fire balls reflected off what looked like a white sheet. We have seen this before several years ago in Mount Vernon Washington. I believe it is a group of people with slow aircraft of some sort just giving a show but it is very strange.
