Springfield, IL
I look towards the east and it looked like birds circling around, but upon second glance, I noticed a pin sized light in each object. There were roughly 10-15 objects. As I watched, they continued flying in circular formation, criss crossing one another, at the same time rising higher and higher. I ran inside to grab my phone and tried to record it, but when I got back out, (literally 3 seconds later) the objects were so high in the sky I could barely see them anymore. My camera could not detect anything. I continued watching them move up, and a little southeast until they finally disappeared completely. All of this happened within the timeframe of 1 minute, just minutes past the 3 o'clock hour, central time.

Earlington, KY
Seen a larger craft and 4 smaller ones up in the sky. I can see them from Earlington, but look to be over Nortonville area. I looked with binoculars and could see the lights flashing fast. Different colors like a purple, green, red hard to tell almost like rainbow colors. The bigger one stayed stationary and the smaller ones were moving up and down slowly and over each other. An airplane went past where they were. I am wondering if they reported it. They were there a good 15 minutes, just sitting there, hovering in sky.

So I told my husband I thought it was going pretty fast and I asked him to stay in the driveway for a moment while I was watching it. All of a sudden it looked like a huge metal ball came out of it into that smoke trail then within 5 seconds they both disappeared, just totally vanished. I looked all around the sky for quite a long time and could not find a thing up there. I don’t have a clue what that could have been, but I wish I would have gotten my phone out to video it, didn’t even think about that. I also wish my husband would have seen it too but he never cares about those kind of things. I hope I’m not the only one in Florida or anywhere that saw what I saw. The object (ball) that seemed to have come out of the craft was round and silver and Black, no lights on either one. It

My boyfriend thinks it could be a hot air balloon, but wouldn’t it be too cold this time of year that high?

Bright spherical light seemed to drop out of the sky above a tree line and then abruptly made a 90° direction change to flying south. All happened in a matter of a second or 2, and then disappeared as it bolted away.

Lander, WY
Two friends and I took a ride up Sinks Canyon which is approximately 10 minutes south of Lander. We were going on a drive and it was the middle of winter. We looked up and saw a bright white light. We were sitting in a one seater pickup truck. I thought perhaps it was the moon. My friends corrected me and the moon was on the opposite side of the sky. It appeared to be a large floating white light. It was a couple thousand feet above the top edge of the canyon. We started to talk about it and it turned to an orange light. It looked like it had moved a mile across the sky within seconds and vanished entirely.

Gainesville, FL
2 of us were walking and playing with our dogs, when we both suddenly noticed these lights in the western sky. They were reddish orange, and very bright. They were way above the tree line in an open area above the golf course. We took pictures with our phones, after a few seconds of watching, and called out to neighbors to come see. The lights suddenly went out as if they were just turned off. One of the lights seemed to have a slight spin to it. They appeared to be like a constellation of stars, except they were oval. I am a 72 year old grandmother, college educated and active in my community. My neighbor is a 27 year old student who lives at home with his mother and young sister.

Jensen Beach, FL
It was a very bright light & very high up. At the same time an airplane passed below that was also high but not as high as this was. It was travel from the west heading East toward the ocean at a good steady speed. When all of a sudden it darted South and upward out of sight. Satellite re-entry?? PD

Freehold, NJ
As I was driving down route 9 near the freehold mall, I saw something in the sky that caught my eye because it was bright and moving very fast in a perfectly horizontal line. It went from one end of the sky to the other and broke off into 4 perfectly round objects, all the same exact size and then they swooped down behind trees and disappeared. I have seen shooting stars before and none lasted this long nor were they travelling such a perfectly straight line! I went online the same day to see others were posting about the same exact thing I saw so I know there had to be many witnesses.

Bullock, NC
I was standing with my father on the bank of Grassy Creek (Kerr Lake on NC & VA border) in Bullock, NC, when we saw a large, fast moving, bright white light approaching from the East, heading South West at about 50 degrees in the sky. I made the comment to my father that it was really moving fast, but there was no sound coming from it. As we were watching the object, it suddenly separated into three individual white lights, and within a second of separation, all of the lights totally disappeared. Vanished!!! We stood there in awe and asked each other…"Did you see that? What was that?” Holy ((1 word deleted))! – I have never seen anything like that in the 50 years that I've been alive.

Five bright colored orbs shot out from behind the top of the trees at a diagonal angle all in unison, they slowed down dramatically after they shot out from behind the treeline, and very quickly the two orbs on the leftmost side came together into one orb at the same time that the two orbs to the right of them did and the orb all the way to the right moved closer to the center and just faded out, they didn't go in any direction they just dissapeared where they were. So to simplify that last part the 5 orbs turned into 3 orbs and disappeared. It freaked me out cause I thought it was a commercial plane because of how big and close the lights seemed, but then within the span of probably 3 seconds or less, five bright orbs turned to 3 and blinked into nothingness like they were never there.

Virginia Beach, VA
We were at Mount Trashmore in Virginia Beach, Virginia, walking counter-clockwise around the lake, at the southern edge facing east. To the southeast, well below the moon, without any prior trace, a white object the color of the moon and as bright, appeared in the sky, looking large, as though quite close, moving level, left to right, appearing to have swept wings, like a military jet, and a fuselage, appeared to eject three distinct bursts of debris, including what looked like small round balls, then broke into three pieces, and disappeared without a trace. No afterglow, no fireball, no sound whatsoever.

1 bright light coming from the east, about 300 feet high. Flew for 10 seconds and split into 3 lights in a line formation. Flew straight in a West direction and vanished. No noise associated with the lights and it came from over a set of trees out of nowhere.

I was requested to check an automatic gate at a property I do the landscaping about 5 miles north of where I live . I had left my driveway and hand proceeded north to the property less than a quarter of a mile when I spotted the desk I thought at first it might be a drone someone was fine and then when my depth perception kicked in, I realized I had saw my first ever UFO. I proceeded to US Highway 21 toward it, watching where I was driving looking back up at it and realized it was a silver desk. The color was very bright, but looked brushed and all it like it was made out of one piece.. I could not judge the height that it was in the air because I didn’t have anything to judge that with as far as perception was concerned that the crash is at least as large as a 1500 ft.² house. As I continued toward where the craft was, it stayed in the same position as I looked at the road and then looked up at the craft, and then it was finally gone, but I saw the crash for perhaps one minute..

Once we were clearly in sight of the object, the lights went out. There were a lot of stars out so once the headlights went out we could see the outline of it. The shape of it was a triangle you with curves.

I was sleeping and I woke up because I heard a strange humming noise that was intermittent but repetitive. I have room darkening shades and light from outside cannot be seen, but a red or burnt orange light was so intense I could see the flashing from inside the room. It sounded like it was hovering nearby and then the lights and humming stopped.
