Driving home we saw a light above some tractors that were prepping the field for next harvest. Mistaken for a helicopter at first and was just a few hundred feet above the equipment in the field. We saw one bright light, then a second one appeared next to it. Then one disappeared, and another appeared. Then the first one and then all three at once. All of this happened quite slowly. I slowed down to try and get a video, as I did this all 3 lights showed and dissolved inside each other. This was a sighting of a lifetime and I am so glad my fiancé and I got to share the experience. I truly want to see this again.

So, I decided to take my dog outside to let her do her business, and I heard a jet coming in overhead, so I looked up as I usually do when that happens, and I found the jet and followed it for a couple seconds to see if I could see the jet without its lights blinking. It never occurred to me at the moment that fighter jets don't usually have all their lights off, save for a singular blinking red light. Then seemingly out of nowhere, right next to it, I saw a yellowish ball of light appear for around four seconds, flying adjacent to the jet, and then it disappeared. I kept watching the jet to see if the light would reappear, and then the ball of light came back for the same duration as before and disappeared again, then it came back again for a total of three times... It didn't look like any man-made aircraft I had ever seen before, and it did not make a sound like two jets do when flying in unison. It didn't have any blinking lights on it when the large yellowish-white ball of light would fade out. It wasn't very bright and didn't give off a lot of light, but it was clearly visible, and bigger than the jet and a little faster than the jet itself. It seemed as though jet was chasing it. Two more fighter jets appeared no more than five minutes after the sighting heading in the same direction. At the time of writing this, I heard another jet outside and went to look at it and low and behold, it was flying in the same direction as the other jets and the object. I live relatively near an airbase here in San Diego so the response time of these jets is very fast. My dog did not react to this sighting, as far as I could tell, because my eyes were glued to the sky.

A series of extremely bright orange lights appeared and reappeared at different points close to each other. Approximately 6 different lights were seen. This was the brightest, prettiest colors I have ever seen. I was traveling north on US-23 when I saw them to the west. I slowed to nearly 30mph to observe them as they put on what seemed like a show. They then all went dark. I traveled approximately 15 miles farther down the highway when they appeared again, but this time only two or three lights were there. They glowed and dimmed for approximately 30 seconds before finally disappearing not to be seen again.

Cross, SC
We live on Lake Marion in the city of Cross, South Carolina. While sitting in a glass sunroom approximately 15 x 30 surrounded by glass viewing the water and a small island in front of us as I looked over my friends head noticed 3 glowing orange lights at approximately 8:15 p.m. just above the tree line. I then asked her to look at which time we both stepped to the glass pain opened the window and witnessed the following together. Three (3) soft glowing orange lights appeared over the tree line of the island. Trees are approximately 30-40 foot tall. The lights were pulsating between each other. They were close enough to reflect light off of the water below and within 100 ft of where we were standing in the room. The episode was completely silent. This position lasted approximately five (5) minutes with them taking turns ascending and descending while hovering at the tree line. Then all three of them lined up in unison ascended across the tree line and quickly shot into the sky at a 9 o'clock 12 o'clock and 3 o'clock direction. They ascended high enough to appear like airplanes and shot back and forth in a chaotic flight pattern at which time joining with numerous other lights we saw that were also in an erratic flight pattern. This continued for approximately a total of twenty (20) minutes. As of now we are still witnessing an orange flashing light in the distance 9:11 p.m. with a fast flashing light hovering and moving erratically. It is not getting higher, lower, or otherwise it is just jerking around in the sky. At 9:31 p.m. still viewing one that continues to move in a somewhat circular motion then ascending and descending with an orange glow. To the best of our ability we did take videos as well as still images. When the images are zoomed it the object appears to be square in some of the images. In the videos it appears as a light source clearing moving erratically. We continue to witness the last object as of 10:54 p.m. We live on the lake and view the night sky from our sunroom on a nightly basis. This is the first time we have witnessed such a sighting. We do have photos and videos on our cell phone whereas we increased the picture size and video to the largest format. We will gladly submit upon request.

Hartman, AR
4 flashing white lights, 1 second interval, 1 degree apart in straight line formation, tight and precise, 4 degrees above horizon, first spotted in NE near Clarksville headed southerly direction at a leisurely speed normal for cruising helicopters. They changed direction when due east then headed west towards me while getting brighter, with no apparent change in relative positions to each other, and most notably, absolutely no sound whatsoever which would be strange but not unlikely if these were top secret stealth helicopters or something else cutting edge. Quickly ran inside to grab 22 rifle with variable 4 to 9X scope for closer view of objects when passing over me. When back outside, they had all headed to new direction towards SW over Arkansas River into Logan County towards Subiaco. I climbed to the top of my RV to view in rifle´s scope while due south of me. Each white flashing light had dimmer steady white light just to left of them visible at 9X power after quickly focusing on Sirius for best resolution possible. The sky was clear with no moonlight for seeing any kind of outline of these totally silent objects. Four normal aircraft of any type would of been overwhelmingly audible at such altitude and proximity. Hopefully description of nav light configuration will help identity make and model. No other nav lights of different colors observed. Objects eclipsed by trees at SSW. Clock said 8:18 PM. Beginning of sighting rough estimate but definitely after 8 PM. Duration near to 20 minutes. This is not first time stealth craft seen by me or orange orbs,too, in this area. Ever since I made it a nightly ritual, weather permitting, to go out after sunset and watch the sky closely, plus I´m a very experienced amateur astronomer with four fairly decent scopes and a computerized GOTO GEM mount. I have submitted previous reports from nearby Coal Hill circa Feb. 2005. However, I am well aware I have a most unfortunate surname for filing UFO reports or any kind of reports for that matter, come to think of it. But I will keep vigilant nonetheless. Thanks for reading and your website.

19:30 - We saw three uniform bright lights relatively close together that made a perfect triangle. They didn’t move. One at a time but in a rhythm, each one blinked out. They appeared to be over/near Mt. Orab. 20:00 - We saw 6-8 lights, about the same color as the lights we saw earlier, but different sizes and scattered around one general area (Mt. Orab direction). We were driving so I didn’t get to see how or when they blinked out. 20:05 - Once home, we could not see those lights anymore. However, looking straight up, like directly above us, very faintly we could see 4 tiny shimmering white lights that formed a perfect square. The lights flickered in unison. They were so faint, it was like you were looking at them through clouds but the sky was clear last night. Then they just disappeared.

My friend, husband, and I were outside talking, when I noticed a red flickering light. I ran inside to get my husbands phone and recorded some amazing activity. The lights move very fast appear in one place a reappear a second later somewhere else as if the lights were playing with each other or dancing. It was an incredible experience. I seen one move very low as if It was landing . a larger yellowish light that was not flashing appeared to be getting very close like it was falling from the sky then suddenly turned

Witnessing an object identical to one I saw in 2012 that was documented on the news in Blue Springs, MO, which occured over several days. Stationary light in the sky, what I believe to be southeastern in direction. Looks akin to a very bright star, with flickering and pulsing of different colors. (Red, green, blue, white.) We suspect a sighting of Venus, or Cappella. PD

I'm not sure if this was actually a UFO sighting, when we all first saw it we assumed it was a shooting star. After a couple minutes went by I was thinking about other shooting stars I have seen and thought this looked a bit different. The closest I can describe it as is being a very bright white, like an LED light, with a slight tint of blue. It was almost shooting out sparks along the outside of the circle kind of like a giant sparkler. Behind the light were bits of a dull red, similar to a bit of smoldering ash. I felt like it was diving down instead of going straight across the sky like you would see with a shooting star. About 10 minutes later me and my wife left. I was talking to her a little bit about it and she had similar thoughts about what we saw. While we were discussing this we heard a helicopter in the sky that sounded like it was heading in the direction that this light was traveling. We were unable to see it. We were out in the suburbs and far from any kind of airport. The fact that we heard a helicopter, in the same area, seemed weird and; made me think that we saw something other that just a shooting star.

Driving down my alley we spotted 3 Orange lights moving across the sky. They formed a triangular shape very spaced out. They moved over the hill and disappeared. 2nd time I've seen this in almost the same area. Very clear night.

From our position, flashing lights visible to the north/northeast, approximately 60-70 degrees ascension. Could only see lights, arranged in Chevron pattern. Lights flashing were white, orange/red, and green. Appeared to be hovering over St. Stephen area of New Brunswick. Made rapid movements in a linear manner but overall remaining in the same position. I have seen this formation/phenomenon approximately 2 years ago, in the exact same location. We watched it for at least 20 minutes, through binoculars and returned about an hour later, and it was still there.

On this night of October 18, 2017, My girlfriend and i just got back to my house from dinner. We were talking in my car in my driveway for a bit, and out of the corner of my eye, i saw lights. (What i saw) Was a triangular craft with about 4 lights on each side, some were yellow, some were white, and one was red, in the middle. It flew from behind a tree in my backyard, then i saw it for about 4-5 seconds, then it went into the trees and dissapeared. I opened my door as soon as it left to see if there was a noise, and there wasnt. It was about 150ft in the air, which is very low for an airplane, and i know what i saw. It wasnt an airplane. Nothing we have. Personally, i am a UFO enthusiast and i know plently about eveything, so i could accept it and easily identify it as A triangular craft. Now what my girlfriend saw, was what she describes as just about 10 yellow lights moving in unison without breaking formation, like fireflies. Im aware that there is a post here describing the same exact thing, In around the same area.

Metairie, LA
Last night between 7:30--7:45 PM, I was sitting in my living room, in an upper apartment level that faces the southern sky over West Napoleon Avenue in Old Metairie, LA. My living room has a large glass sliding door that leads to a porch, and a large picture window, all facing south. My recliner faces both these windows. Suddenly I saw a glowing, luminous white, oblong shaped disk, streak across the sky at an incredible speed midway or a little higher above the horizon. It traveled from West to East. By the time I jumped up and crossed the few feet to reach the glass door window, it had disappeared from sight. For years now, I have been able to see airplanes, jets, helicopters flying in the sky from this view. None of them were ever shaped like this, glowed, or traveled at such speed.

I was traveling southbound on Interstate 530, near Exit 3 when I saw three unknown objects traveling from East to West. They looked like giant sparklers and they had an orange color. They were really close to each other. I thought they were meteors falling, but they were at a slight incline. Two of the three disappeared. Just a few seconds later I lost sight, due to a tree line.

Witnessed a fairly large triangle shape with bright lights at each end. It was moving slowly in the atmosphere almost looked stars at first but then it moved slowly forward and then one light at a time disappeared until one remained then brighted then disappeared.
