Arvada, CO
At approx. 21:00 hrs through 21:15 hrs my mom was taking the dog out and noticed in the south eastern sky traveling to the south western sky, where Orion would be later in the night, a string of at least 12 visible lights that were red occasionally blinking white (one at a time but not in order) then going back to red. The distance was unknown but there was no sound to be associated with the lights. She came and got me about five minutes after she first noticed the lights. They were evenly spaced and appeared to be moving slowly from east to west finally disappearing over the mountains. I was able to grab image stabilizing binoculars which just made the red and white lights appear larger. A minute passed and I grabbed my dad from inside and all three of us watched as the lights slowly moved over the mountains and disappeared. At the end of the formation to the east there was another set of lights which looked like a normal plane which appeared to be following the red and white light formation. The plane was lower in the sky to the other lights and moving at a different speed and angle and had "normal" blinking running lights including green. What really stood out was the exact distance of the lights to one another, the fact they appeared to be in a perfect line with no sound and the slow rate of speed. It was impossible to tell wether it was one huge craft or many smaller crafts. The following day on the news reported it was a military formation of C 130 (I think), performing training HALO mission flying to Nevada.

My husband and i were getting out of our car and walking to the house, when I looked up and saw a sequence of four lights in a row. It was in the east. They were flashing from left to right. I've never seen any plane or helicopter do anything like this. They looked like chaser lights on a bar way up. I told my husband about the strange lights that weren't moving and he didn't look, he went into the house. I watched for a few more minutes, then kind of blew it off until now. To know others may have saw something that night is why I'm coming forward.

Colorado Springs, CO
There was three of us walking in a field. We saw a thing fall from the sky and flash up around 8:45 as if a firework but the die was no bang. Moments later at 9 we notices a long string of red lights in the horizon. It looked like a chain of helicopters but later appeared to be of one large ship. It lasted about 15 minutes then continued out of the horizon.

We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded quite serious-minded. We suspect that he is a very good witness. He commented that the object(s) seen was (were) totally silent. PD

9News is reporting a string of lights moving in formation, about 13, without any sound. Numerous pics and even video on YouTube. Apparently didn’t show up on radar. . https://youtu.be/6NG9v7Nd6cw I personally didn’t observe it, but I’m sure there is enough reports for you guys to look into it. My guess would be military, but who knows. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Husband and I made a night run to Area 51 as we are fairly new to Nevada and enjoy exploring. As we approached the extraterrestrial highway sign we pulled off to take pictures in front of it. We were both out of the vehicle made sure we were the only ones around and left the doors open. Radio was off, vehicle was running, we both had our backs to tne truck we heard was sounded like a person talking on the radio turned, looked at eachother and slowly walked back to the truck and got inside. My husband had taken a video looking outwards and can be heard saying how we were the only ones around and how creepy it was he has closed the video application and locked his phone, after we heard the noise and were back in tbe truck tbis video click on and kept replaying and his phone was being extremly difficult to unlock and stop the play back. We decided to continue down the road in search of 'the black mailbox' we learned shortly after coming to were it wad supposed to be that it was removed, replaced and removed again. We decided to park, look out the windows and take in the amount of stars that we could see give. There was basically zero lighg polloution, unlike las veags and just watch for shooting/falling stars, after about 10 mins we decided to head back home. As we were drivinv i was watching tje road ahead and told my husband to be careful of the car a ways down the road, since tbe appeared to be stopping, out of no where about 15-20 possibly even upwards of 50 blinking red anf white lights were ahead of us. We pulled over, i began recording and captured what i could on video, after playing it back several times, i am frustrated at the lack of justice the video shows what I saw with my own eyes. The lights looked as if some were in a line, circle, and triangle patterns, there was no green light which would have made me dis them a drone or aircraft. They were also fairly large in size and traveling extermly close together also causing me to believe this was not Conventional aircraft. I am sending a video beware, given our shock and excitement, there are expletives.

Aurora, CO
I saw lots of red lights flashing in a sparkling manner, looking like a large glittering object in the sky. It was exactly west of where I live in Aurora, over the city of Denver, CO. It might have been far enough away to be right over the mountains. I was in my backyard letting the dog out when I saw them. I thought it was radio towers at first, but I never noticed them before. They were also flashing much faster than the slow blink of radio towers. Any given flash was instantly on and off rather than the gradual turning on and off that you would see from radio towers. The light flashes seemed to be occurring randomly across a rectangular shaped area, about the length of 3 moon widths, and about 3/4 as wide as the moon would be in the sky. There must have been at least 20 distinctly different lights flashing in rectangular formation. The rectangle of lights was diagonal in the sky, mostly vertical, perhaps about 60 degrees angle, with the highest point of the rectangle on my left (meaning that it more south). Then I noticed the object was slowly moving to the left and downward, which means it was moving south and decreasing in altitude. This happened very slowly, and it was similar to watching the sun set. After 5 minutes, it had slowly disappeared because it went below my neighbor's house, so I couldn’t see it anymore. I went for a walk 10 minutes later and didn’t see it anywhere on the horizon. Whatever it was, it was gone. I told my roommate about it, and his friend had just posted on facebook about seeing something that looked like a line of aircraft flying in the sky.

Ohkay Owingeh (San Juan), NM
I was traveling south near San Juan Pueblo and noticed a fleet of about 15 flashing objects/aircraft flying in a scattered formation headed West toward San Lorenzo/ Los Alamos. They were flying high and fast, but with unusual presence and motion. I stopped and to record the aircrafts and have the recording. They seemed to be about the size of a large drone. All we're flashing O/I and flying in the same direction. I noticed other vehicles pulling over as well.

Flying from East to West red lights in formation flew over at a fairly low rate of speed. Eqy]ual distance was maintained between each light. Approximate altitude was 2500-3500 feet. Continued west.

Lumberton, TX
I am making this report now because my mom just made her report and insist that I describe my experience as well..I have to admit I am a skeptic, but what I did see that night makes me scratch my head. We had just came home from picking up my cousins and my mom loves UFO's she always looks in the sky, and next I heard her saying, "Look!! Look up!! and this is what I seen--100's of red lights in clusters or little groups but many groups slowly pulsating and hovering. At first I thought this has to be some drone convention or drone practicing a routine but the longer I watched the more intrigued I became and knew this was not drones. Me and my cousin happen to look south and see two lights bolt across the sky, we screamed at the sight, and caused everyone to look our way but it was gone by then.

My family and I first saw a circular formation of strobing red lights. We decided to stop and look and the formation changed. They started to line up and continue to move West or North it looked like.

I am barely making this report because I am my worse enemy, talking myself out of making this report thinking that it had to be drones, but the more I hear about others witnessing the same experience and I had my two boys and 3 nephews with me, I am convinced this was something more wonderful than I could ever imagine. I seen had to be hundred of red lights, seemed like they were playing in the sky. They had no direct path, they would move around slowly and some clustered together while others wandered off alone. I heard a gasp from my son and turned and he said he seen two shoot off fast across the sky.. I missed it, but the gasp i heard spoke for itself… It was a freezing night, and i kept wanting to grab my ipad from inside but I was frozen, I feared it would leave, and then I thought there was no way it would capture on my ipad, but none the less i went inside. It was very cold and we couldnt stand to be outside that long and none of my windows allowed me to look up straight into the sky, as i was blocked by trees...about a hour later, I went to throw the trash away and I still seen about half of them up there...I regret the fact that I did not try to record it but I seen them and i have 5 other teenagers who witnessed this amazing night too. It seemed like they were putting on a show.. They were hovering slowly.

Green River, UT
I took my 11-year-old son and his 12-year-old cousin camping just outside the Goblin Valley State Park in Green River, Utah, on Dec 9, 2017. We started seeing reddish pulsating lights traveling slowly across the horizon, looking west. It was winter, so it was mostly dark outside. I grabbed my camera, a Sony A7 with a 50 mm lens using an f2 aperture and a 6400 iso. The picture has a total of 9 groupings of light, all in a row except one group slightly above the others. The 8 groups had three lights per group that pulsated a reddish color, and the one group slightly above had white pulsing lights. So all together, 42 slowly moving pulsating lights. I also took a video as well. I'm not sure if it was helicopters or not, but it was definitely weird.

It looked like a string of red and white pulsating lights perfectly lined up going silently slowly across the sky. Was seen by several ppl I know in near by towns.

Anaconda, MT
I live on Georgetown Lake in southwestern Montana at an elevation of 6,200 feet. On the night of Saturday December 9, 2017, at about 8:30 p.m., I saw about 15 moving red blinking lights. They were to the south of where I live about 1,000 feet above the mountains that are over 10,000 feet in elevation. The mountains are about 15 miles from where I live. The lights were moving horizontally. The lights were moving in a northeasterly direction. I estimate that the row of lights was 10 miles long. They were evenly spaced and all were at the same elevation. It looked like they were being towed because they all followed the same path. The blinking of the lights alternated. When one light blinked on the light closest to it did not. Every other light blinked at the same time. The sighting lasted about 3 minutes. I did not have my phone with me so no video. I did not want to go get it because I did not want to miss what I was seeing. It did not seem possible. There was also no sound. It is very quiet where I live so if it was plane, I would have heard it.

We saw a line of lights, about 20 of them, in a perfectly straight line, alternating flashing, and it was moving very slow at a diagonal angle.

Rolla, MO
8:30 p.m. CST 9 December 2017, Rolla, Missouri 65401 looking south to southeast, at first there were 3-4 red pulsating lights in the night sky, flying in a swooping arc formation. Moving southeast. Called witness number 1 to come outside to look and see what I saw. And said that is was probably airplanes in the distance. Went inside for about 15 minutes. Then returned outside and saw an additional 20-40 red lights in the same formation moving at an abnormally slow speed. Called witness 1 back outside and saw the same thing but more pronounced. Witness 3 came outside to see what the commotion was. Witness 3 saw exactly what the first 2 witnesses saw. But at a delayed time. There were no flashing lights to accompany the red lights as there are with normal aircraft. Or satellite. Witness number 1 called the UFO eyewitness hotline to report the incident, and was asked to make an official report online.
