We wonder whether the sighting might have been of Jupiter, in the southeast sky. PD

Portsmouth, OH
Four additional lights were observed following at random distances behind. Lights appeared to reach area over Ohio River, and then turned southwest, and in a very short distance, disappeared from sight. Clear night no cloud cover for them to disappear behind.

Ricetown, KY
Friend & myself on back deck witnessed flashing lights in forest. At first one light soon followed by others, totaling five distinct flashing lights. They tended to stay high in the trees, maybe sixty feet from ground. Sometimes the lights appeared white, sometimes green, sometimes orange. We watched until we had to go inside. I went back out 15 minutes later, lights were gone.

South Bend, IN
Saw a number of red lights in the sky. Appeared to be distant. Originated below the horizon (obscured behind buildings) and rose in the sky while moving steadily from left to right from my perspective. Lights were North and East of my position. Lights moved with constant speed but did not follow a constant path. Vertical component of velocity changed - lights changed rate of rise and at some points descended. Horizontal component seemed steady. Saw about 10 total lights. Initially saw them when coming around the corner of a building that obscured the sky and immediately say about 7 in the same part of the sky. No obvious formation to them but they were all in the same few minutes of arc in the sky. One by one the lights faded and disappeared. As the last of the original lights disappeared a new one rose into view, then another, then another at wide intervals. They all rose and then disappeared as the original 7 did. Did not appear to be flares as they steadily rose and covered a very large distance (assuming hey were far away, as was my impression.) Again, they appeared to change vertical component of velocity several times. My sense was they were maneuvering. I have seen this phenomena before in the same part of the sky from a nearby (2 miles away) location about five years ago. I am an avid airplane enthusiast, an atheist, and a general skeptic - I am not prone to false beliefs and delusion. These were not aircraft lights or flares. I do not believe they are alien craft but I cannot explain them by phenomena known to me.

2 ring shaped onjects spotted in the sky traveling with each other. They were a bright orange color & were spotted right after dusk. This is the 5th or 6th time my family & I have spotted these objects flying around our house.

Gilbert, AZ
Flying together, spread apart in a arc formation, towards jet engine testing facility or San Tan peak; glowing bright red/orange; 4 together and then they pulsated on and off and disappeared as they approached the mountains/facility; then a 5th cigar orb also glowing red/orange followed the same route after the other 4 disappeared, it was the brightest and flashed the longest, then also disappears at the same spot above near the jet engine testing facility. Aircraft seemed to be approaching these things and they all disappeared as the airplanes neared.

Dover, DE
Driving north on RT 1 just south of Dover, DE. Clearly an airplane was visible low in the skyline. I was looking exactly at it and it just vanished. I said to my wife ((deleted--what)) was that...next thing I know it reappeared. Then I noticed that this full size plane was hovering not even a few hundred yards over a field. It literally hovered for a couple mins as we approached the location to our right. It did not move as we approached or while we passed. We eventually lost sight of it after we went past the location. I am of a clear mind and without a doubt it was the weirdest thing I have ever witnessed and I know for a fact that what I have described is 100% accurate.

Greenbelt, MD
Greetings, Back in April 2017, I was in Greenbelt, Maryland at the “carwash” behind the Shell Gas Station located off on Greenbelt Road in Greenbelt, Maryland. I happen to look up in the sky – in the “clouds” and it appeared to me as a person to be sitting in a chair. As I wanted to get a better look, therefore I went to where the NASA Space Center is located on Goodluck Road to where they were at the time building a new entrance. There I parked my car, got my cellphone out and captured three (3) UFO’s or more in the picture. Later down the road, I took a selfie of myself and a day or so later I decided to look at the picture and as I was looking at the picture, and slide the picture on my phone over and there was “ET” outside the vehicle looking inside at me. I did not see him with my eyes, but “He” is in the photo! Please note, I have “Hundreds of other Supernatural Photos” of me and other entities including the sound-pitch that “Alien Ships” give off to communicate. Also, I still have the original phone used to take the photos. Please NOTE….it’s Real, Real – REAL!

Anaheim, CA
Stopped at a light on Westminster Blvd. looking toward Anaheim, I noticed a red orb in the clouds. I blinked a few times to verify if it was flashing from, perhaps a plane, but it remained solid red. It kept moving downward smoothly. After a good seven seconds, I tried to grab my phone real quick to get a video but as I looked up, it disappeared. It looked as if it left a small visible trail behind it.

Vallejo, CA
I was outside with a neighbor and crew members from the local Fire Dept. I saw a bright red light descending high over the sky like a flare. The weather was cloudy so the clouds surrounding it were lit up as well. I asked the fire crew what it was and they said a flare. I heard one guy say, "you can hear it, too." When I walked into a more open area and turned my head I could hear a muffled "roar." It was difficult to determine a shape, but maybe a upside "V" would be the best way to describe it. My neighbor said, "I don't know what it is but something is on fire." If was gone or disappeared into the clouds in about a minute. I contacted the police dept and USGS 12 hours later to see if there were any reports and they both said, "no."

Jefferson, GA
While driving south on I-85, I saw a bright light fall from the sky to my left (south). It was the about the same brightness as a helicopter running light. It went down behind the tree and I really expected to see an explosion and fire, but nothing. Maybe this was a meteor?

I saw it very clearly. It was a flashing object and it flashed just like a plane with some red lights. However it didn't seem like a plane because there was a real plane on the other side of the sky and it was going its typical speed. This plane however was going pretty fast and I was instantly suspicious. All of a sudden it stops and flashes this intense bright circle light. Like a white yellowish light and it got brighter and brighter and bigger and bigger. I never seen a light this bright at this scale before, it was huge. All of a sudden, another fast plane was approaching the giant light and immediately the object turned off its light and went back to flashing like a plane with red lights and left the other way. The plane that just visited once the other plane left, this did the same thing. It stopped and flashed the bright light. It stayed like that for 30 sec. Ii went to grab my phone to take a picture. When i came back it was gone. Also, I tried to look at the bright light and focus on it with my eyes, and I believe I saw 3-4 little circles within the object making that bright light.

Looked as if it were flying straight for my house. Both were an orangey color. One stayed still while the other flew around it. The one that was flying around flew over to the one that was flying still & then they both flew away in the opposite direction of my house. The next thing I know, they're gone (disappear). Both were completely silent and the appeared to be gliding.

I'm sitting on my bed around 11:10 pm or 23:10, and I look out my window and I see a ball of light that's flashing white, red, blue, pink that come from no where very fast. And it stop and moves in circles in the middle of the sky. Though out the night it gets smaller and around 1am to 5am it disappears. This is the second time I have seen this object and that was 5 days ago.

Big Timber, MT
While sitting in a campground, I looked to the sky and the Big Dipper was present and a satellite passed between the end of the handle of the Big Dipper and to the left of the handle a few seconds later, I thought was another satellite but then it slowed at a slow speed and stopped sats don't do that and it was a little bit dimmer as a star which in middle of no outside lights caught my attention then a plane flew by then it slowly moved and another slightly simular light came in from the right of the handle of the Big Dipper came in so from the the handle to the second star of the Big Dipper they faced off and at that time another plane passed by and yet another almost lighter star merged and dimmed and about and then a meteor with a white ghostish surrounded it which came in from the Dipper down towards the handle then u turned towards the Dipper it looked like a sperm with a really short tail

Ricetown, KY
Flashing light again seen observed from back of home. Light darting behind garage, some 25 feet from my vantage point. I remained observant. After making several appearances above roof of garage, light appeared to rest on metal roof of garage where it remained 3-4 minutes. Light suddenly ascended into sky vertically. It was at this moment I detected a rain drop on my arm. Rain ensued. This is the 4th day out of five that these lights have been in this area. I failed to mention in report of 4-11-17 that the lights blink intermittently, without a particular rhythm. When object rested on garage roof it appeared to be very small, as in less than 3 inches wide as an overhead security light illuminated the area. It is cool outside, way too early for fireflies.

9:00 P.M. - I was driving on 2-15 down to Rose Park, with my younger sister when we noticed three circles in the sky, lined up to make a triangular shape. They were white, glowing circles who moved across the sky. At first I assumed it was just airplanes flying- but together to make a triangular shape? I've seen way too many pictures of UFOs, and have witnessed some in the past to know what they look like. I do have a few pictures of the lights my sister took as well. 1:00 A.M. (a few hours later) - I was at my house with my boyfriend, while my family of three and two dogs slept upstairs. We were laying in bed talking, when suddenly we heard a noise outside. We stopped and listened. We then heard a strange noise that I cannot explain..all I could say, is that it sounded like some sort of "alien" noise. I have no idea what they sound like, or if they can even make noise, but I am 110% sure it was something...extraterrestrial. While we were (low-key) panicking, we then heard three quick footsteps upstairs, going outside. We didn't hear any door shut after those footsteps. As we laid there in slice, and fear- we heard another noise outside. It sounded as if some sort of machinery was running, and made a humming noise. It lasted for a few seconds, but then the sound faded away. Coincidentally, I feel like these two experiences have something to do with each other. I spoke to my folks about it- both are passionate about UFOs and the phenomenon, and they too, believe they could have followed me home.. Whatever it was, it was definitely another life form different from mankind, and I hope it doesn't come back to visit.
