We suspect the object may have been a "twinkling" star, and possibly either Capella, or Sirius. PD

I was outside because the bear knocked over my trash cans. There is a large horizon where I can see 300 degrees on the back side of my house. I saw something triangular with three lights near each corner and it moved slowly across the horizon on an ark. I saw it from about 5 miles away in the sky. It did not look like any plane I have ever seen in the night sky.

I bright light appeared in the western sky and lasted about 5 sec then faded. After about a minute the light reappeared in the same location and lasted for another 5 sec before fading. I thought it my be an aircraft but they maintain their lights at night.

To best describe it,it was like an oblong diamond) glide by approx. say 50' to 100' above tree lines. The object glided very fast from west to east, it lasted for only a few seconds. The object was way faster than any plane. It was low,and I never heard a sound. It was the weirdest thing I have ever seen in my life. The night sky was very dark in the background.

Observed what I thought was a drone, or satellite, 9/26, 9/27, 9/28 of this week. I started taking pictures and the object would move as I was taking the the shots in fast short movements, almost triangle pattern. The object had lights that would come on and off when another aircraft flew nearby. When I started to review my pics, I have a green bar or laser coming down from object in distance in one shot, and in others when object right over head the green light is focused on me. The object has been over our house all week includingl last night. I have pictures and video and need someone to help explain this. I made my wife and our 14 son come out and see last night..they noticed it turn lights out when commercial plane came close

I was on the back porch having a cigarette and looking up at the clear night sky, when a silhouette of a triangle flew overhead. It was fairly low running north to south and silent. Its color seemed to match the background of the night sky, and there was an un-lit ring on the bottom of each corner

San Diego, CA
5 yellow lights clustered together hovering over the horizon in the southwest region of San Diego, seen from a hilly neighborhood in Spring Valley that overlooks east county, Tijuana, and the Downtown skyline. 1 light was a bit lower and separate from the other 4. They were nothing like anything I've seen, very bright yellow, 5 times the size of an average star, and they were unmistakeably still, not moving at all. They were constantly flickering, but not completely on and off. Similar to a candle flicker. I waited for them to fall or move but they stayed still so I called my mom brother and sister to come see and we watched them stay still for about a whole minute. Then I went to get my phone and captured the last seconds before they disappeared, one by one. The one that was separated from the four and lower disappeared first. It just started to dim until it was gone. Then the other 4 followed. They disappeared while in place. We heard my neighbor say loudly, "they're gone" so we know at least one other person witnessed them, totaling at least 5 witnesses

I watched for about 5 minutes then went inside to call my neighbor. One disappeared as we were watching smaller lights popped in and out around it. Then there were 3 shimmering red white. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Two red glowing balls of light were traveling one behind the other right over a local annual event. The ball of light in back increased speed and passed the other than traveled in a downward motion and faded. The other continued to travel straight but faded away a few seconds after the other. I don't know if anyone attending the event saw them, as a band was playing, however I was across the street and saw them clearly for approximately five minutes.

I was on the roof of my apt. building with my Manager to view ISS coming from SSW to NNE at 7:47 pm this evening. We went up early and around 7:37 pm we noticed a bright red disc moving and stopping and standing still. It then pulsed white colors and changed to green and white. It stood still for a while and went North. Stopped again and dove down beyond our view. It came back up and headed south and then north again. It dove down and came back up. We lost sight of it going north. It did change colors quite often. I do know what a plane transponder looks like since I am in the flight path of SeaTac. This was no plane or helicopter with those moves.

Modesto, CA
I was just East of Modesto riding my bicycle heading East on a rural road after sunset, I notice two bright lights that appeared toward the North (on my left side) about 20 degrees above the horizon. They appeared to be stationary, like a planet or star. The color of the 2 objects was bright white. They looked like Venus at full phase but even brighter. One was directly above the other separated by a visual angle of about 1 degree, a little larger than the width of the full Moon. They remained bright for at least 1 minute and then gradually faded to two points of light in about 20 seconds, and then disappeared. When they were fading they appeared to be a point of light surrounded by a bight gas ball. Both were of the same brightness as each other during the entire observation, including when they faded out simultaneously together.

While playing in the front yard, I glanced up and saw a glint off an object in the sky. What appeared to first be an airplane, turned into what I thought was something falling from the sky...maybe a balloon. After five minutes of looking at the object, I had my wife give me the camera (Canon EOS Rebel T6i camera with 250mm lens) to take a picture. Snapped a few pictures and zoomed in on viewer to get better idea. Could clearly see light within what appeared to be translucent object with "glowing" lights within. Had wife come out and look too. Invited neighbors out to look. Tried to look at object with a telescope; however, cirrus clouds were beginning to block the field of view and sun was going down. However, despite the sun going down, object appeared to be glowing in the sky. Decided that object was approximately 70,000-80,000 feet based on clouds. Object was slowly moving south. Upper level winds were 270/80, so a weather balloon would not have been moving in that direction. After about 90 minutes, too many clouds were obstructing the view and darkness set in. I tried contacting two local news stations (WOWT & KETV), but neither seemed interested. I sent one of them a picture, but have not heard anything. I am not clicking that I wish to be contacted by an investigator. However, if something comes of it, I'll certainly talk to someone to give more details. It was cool to see and certainly would like more of an explanation as to what the anomaly/phenomenon was.

Slow flying aircraft...cylinder shaped and silver. There was a low pitched humming sound...not loud like a jet. At first I thought it was a jet but it was moving too slow and had no wings. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

As it moved towards me, I realized it was a really big drone and instead of it flying horizontally, with 4 legs, like a turtle, it was vertical, like a turtle walking upright. I said again, do you see that drone right there? One friend stood up and I stood up and walked outside. Just then the object went straight up, extremely fast, and disappeared. Nothing in the sky was obstructing my view.
September 28, 2017 · 8:30 AM · FIREBALL
San Diego, CA
The fireballs were in a triangle formation and they were not moving. We watched for about 10 minutes and they eventually disappeared...like they just burnt out and were gone. I saw the exact same thing 1 year before.

Bay Village, OH
As pulled out of my driveway and headed down the street, I noticed a glowing red light in the distance. I thought it was a drone. As we drove to the end of the Street the object had moved East and was hovering over a wooded area by the railroad tracks, about 15 yards away. We stopped and pulled over as there were now three lights that appeared on the triangle object. Red, green, and white. It would blink one light at a time changing color and then they would all turn red. Then only the center light would glow bright red. Out of nowhere we saw two more of these crafts. They made no sound at all and had little to no movement. We watched for about ten minutes. I am not sure how long these crafts were in the area, as we had to go, but it was something I cannot explain.

Driving to work I looked up and saw one big bright light with something faint above it. Zipping around this bright light were two red round lights darting around it. As I was watching them, they disappeared leaving a red trail.

Revere, MA
On both 9/28/2017 and 9/28/2017, in the hours after midnight, I saw an object hovering over the sea, roughly 120 degrees east-southeast. Naked eye observation alone indicated a blinking star-like object that was somewhat bluer than the other stars. Upon examination via binoculars, I could make out flashing blue and green lights. The object did not move. It neither grew larger nor smaller, nor did it change direction. As the sun began to rise the object disappeared with the rest of the stars in the sky.

Looked like it was falling from the sky. Like a shooting star. Fell Northwards. Spotted as I was heading towards the intersection of 125th and Harper's Street, Near Woods at Quail Creek .
