Coming from US 30 south to Lex Springmill RD.. I saw a row of lights in the sky. They were too high to be parking lot lights. When I approched the traffic light at Lex Springmill, the craft passed over my car. It was really dark in the sky. I saw real bright lights, blinding bright. When it when over me.. There were no tail lights. No side lights,, just the 8-10 lights in front. No sound and it blended in the dark night sky.

I have a view to flight path of Sky Harbor airport and often watch incoming planes from my upper deck. On this day, I noticed a rose/pink colored orb in the area where planes are normally in a holding pattern. I watched it head south in my direction, then made an ubrupt turn to east (opposite direction from airport) and watched until it disappeared. I then looked back to where I originally saw this, and saw two more coming! I ran downstairs to get binoculars and by the time I got back upstairs, those two orbs went into same pattern/direction as the previous one. Then, again, two more come into view - from the same direction and eventually disappeared into the eastern sky. I did manage to get a picture. I didn't know what to make of it, but what I find most interesting that no planes landed or were in holding during this time. Once the orbs were gone, planes were again in view and started landing. Very strange.

I have videos of something I saw in the sky. (Not giving away where I live) I'm not quite sure on how to describe the phenomenon but it seemed like an orange strange light in the sky. My father says it could be a comet (he did not see it, he only saw a video I recorded. However, the video does it no justice) It was pretty eerie, not a comet nor did it appear to be the moon. It was an orange light and as the video progressed, it disappeared. I was watching it from my car window and I have no explanation. There's zero reports on it and I find that strange. Anyone else see it? I doubt it was the moon being covered by clouds because it was just so strange and looked so weird. Please, give any possible answers!

Higginsville, NY
One white circular aerial object was witnessed trailing an airplane. The sky was blue and the white object was easy to see against the background of the blue sky. The white object was traveling behind the airplane, seemingly at the same speed. The witness provides high-quality video and stills of the object, but it is barely visible. It is little more than a tiny, light-colored speck. We do not know what it was. PD

Canton, OH
Not the first time this has been observed. Bright light in the sky. Several thousand feet up. Looks as if either entering or leaving atmosphere. Starts bright like reflective sun light, then fades to nothing. No marker lights observed. I have seen several of these the past few years. 1-2 monthly.

Atlantic City, NJ
I was taking pictures from the Resorts Hotel located on the boardwalk in Atlantic City. It was around 8:00 am. I notices the clouds had what looked like a path going through them. I snapped a few photos, and when I was looking through them, I noticed two bright saucer shapes in the sky at 3 o'clock. These saucers were in two of the three photos that I took.

The object proceeded to move in quick diagonal directions quickly then flash again every 20-30 seconds or so. I watched it move up down side to side at angles not made by any aircraft I know of. There was no sound, It would also come to a quick stand still then zip off again. I have never seen anything like it. Btw, I just had my vision checked a month ago and it's 20/20.

Cypress, TX
I get up early for work, and it is not unusual to take the dog out before daybreak. On May 10, I was outside with the dog at 5:15 am, waiting for her to finish up so I could get ready for work. I was looking at the sky to see what stars I could identify, but there were scattered clouds so I didn’t see many. I realized there was a very bright light behind one group of clouds and thought to myself that the moon was extremely bright. The clouds were low and as they moved past the bright light, what I originally thought was the glow of the moon was not the moon after all. I didn’t see any definitive shape, just a very bright light, like a spotlight, and I thought it must be a helicopter. It definitely wasn’t an airplane--it didn’t move. Then I realized for a spotlight to be that bright and that large, I should hear some sort of sound. While we do live a couple of miles from a freeway, at that hour of the morning, there is very little noise in the neighborhood. This morning was no different, and this was no helicopter. I looked out at the yard to see where the dog was then looked back at the sky—no more than 5-6 seconds had lapsed--and the light was gone.

Memphis, TN
There was no sound and my first thought was that it was perhaps some kind of magnesium flare or something similar, although it seemed to hover in the sky, instead of down in an arc like one might expect. It was visible to us for a minute, maybe two, then moved up and away, out of view, to the northeast. The shape was difficult to discern, due to the distance, but it looked almost like an egg or teardrop.

Abilene, TX
I tried to take video, and was unable due to how small the lights were and how fast they were going I heard no sound before, as, or after they passed but they were low enough for clouds to obstruct them at one point. One had a 2 second lead or so on the other they were kind of side by side but one following. I am very close to Dyess AFB, which is to the west, but they did not veer left of go west just North and I lost sight within a minute the whole event lasted less than 2 minutes starting when they were out in front of me to the south and high and far enough to look like strange colored stars. I would say closer to 1 minute for the event, that fast, no sound???

We got home around 11:30pm on 5-9-17, and noticed a cluster of it looked almost like stars moving across the sky and then disappeared then noticed that another group came from the direction of the moon near a bright red yellow star and did the same thing, we counted 32 of them that came in clusters and flew across the night sky then disappeared like it never happened.............. what where they?

Extra big, bright orange object moving south east through the sky, not flashing, then disappears quickly.

Blackshear, GA
A fire like sphere slowly appeared in the sky above the tree line 2-4 miles away. It held its position steady, then faded out as another faded into light just above to its right. The second object did the same as the first and at that moment another appeared to the right. This dimming Christmas light type pattern stopped entirely, then reappeared two more times. They all migrated to the north. 3 separate formations at 3-4 lights each formation. None of them seemed to move at all. All the same orange fire like dimming glow.

I was driving on the 10 fwy east, when I looked to my left and saw a flash. It was a green flash. Near the mountain ranges.

Guilford, CT
Picture this, 10 at night in the middle of nowhere. I see three bright lights almost hovering maybe 200 yds off the ground. I literally stop my car and put down the window expecting to hear helicopter blades, but there's nothing. Just as I stop, the lights start moving toward me, very slowly... still no sounds until it is right over me, that when I can hear a hum and "whooshing"... I look up to see a wedge shape set of wings with various square areas underneath them, but NO fuselage... in fact it's more of a dent at the middle... mind you there is no airport anywhere near me.... I cannot explain it… Witness provides high-quality video, which indicates three lights, oriented in a triangular pattern. They are not inconsistent with the landing lights on the front of an airliner, although airliners usually have two lights, not three, we believe. PD

Brooklyn Park, MN
Seen traveling west at low altitude. Had a cigar shape and slight dome on top visible because it was reflecting so much light. I know planes very well, and watch the skies daily. Never seen something like this before. It headed straight west and disappeared into the clouds. All this took place in a matter of 20 to 30 seconds. Pulled over and checked my flight radar app, nothing close to that size within 100 miles or more. No sound. No lights and it appears to be all metallic as it was reflecting so much light. Friend compared it to a B-2 flying off and me looking at it from back. Possible, but highly unlikely a B-2 flies so low over Minneapolis metro area.

Harrington, WA
I was driving down highway 23 after work towards Harrington at 3:45am. I was up by Linda Colbert’s house, when I saw a yellowish ball of light in what looked to be a cloud near the grain elevators. I figured it was the moon, or sometimes the lights are on in the elevator, and it could have been those. Once I drove past the school, and up to the elevators there were no lights on, and no light up near the elevator. I looked up in the sky, and saw the same light on the outskirts of town near highway 28 towards Odessa. When I turn left on Main St in Harrington, I saw the light out over McGregor on the other side of hwy 28. I continued down the street watching it through the raining windshield. It was moving, but I couldn’t tell how fast because of the rain on the windshield. I decided to roll my window down at 5th and Main, but when I did, I could no longer find it.

Auburn, AL
At first I thought maybe someone brought in soccer lights to do construction, so I laid back down with my back facing the light and tried to go back to sleep. As I laid there resting I realized that we lived too far from the construction site to be able to see any lights. I turned around and the light had completely disappeared. I didn't take any pictures because at the time I would have to open that back door and I didn't want to wake anyone up. I am not sure what I saw but this light has not sat well with me from the moment I first laid eyes on it, It is odd.
