Ypsilanti, MI
At 6:54 pm EST, I looked out my back window and noticed 9 white dots in the sky. They initially looked like stars, but they were very low in the sky and it was still light outside. I grabbed my camera and tripod and began taking pictures. They started in 2 formations, one with 5 dots (the left formation) and one with 4 dots (the right formation), both were pyramid in shape. Two of the dots in the formation on the right began to move towards the ground. They seemed to merge back into one dot, leaving what looked like 3 dots in the right formation. The two dots at the top of the left formation split into 2 dots each and began to shift in their formation. One of the orbs on the left began flying towards the right, crossed over top of the formation on the right and went behind trees and disappeared. The orb on the bottom of the left formation then split into two orbs and then split into a third orb. A set of 3 orbs then appeared in the middle of the left! formation. Those 3 orbs proceeded to fly to the top of the left formation, then across the sky over the right formation, then disappeared. The dots in the right formation faded away and eventually disappeared. Then by 7:49 p.m. EST, the last orb on the left formation disappeared. None of these flew away, they just stopped shining.

In the eastern sky over Phoenix at 2am on Mar 9th ((sic. 08th)), my friend and I saw 4 bright lights flickering fast at first then slow then fast again. Then in a blink of the eye was to the left then to the right in the sky went back and forth several times then stopped. Then it was gone. But then saw it far far away flickered twice then gone completely.

Princeton, IN
In the western sky, there appears a red light moving erradically just to the left of Orion. as it moved further to the left it was joined by 4 other lighta dancing in the sky and interacting with it. It settled due west of my position and continued moving erratically, dancing up and down and left and right. It was still there visibly at 11:30 pm as I came in to write this report. I have attempted to record the lights, but it is not a good quality.

Adel, IA
On March 7th, around 10:00 PM CST, overhead high in the Eastern sky a tiny, round, gold light appeared from no apparent origin, shot across a section of the (about 6 inches in my field of vision), and in an instant zipped upwards with an immediate change of direction before vanishing. There seemed to be a brief trail, but it happened so quickly, I am unsure due to its speed. Everything about this object, except for the quick change of course, resembled a shooting star, but I could not find any reports for comets. We spoke with the witness, who prefers to remain anonymous. He sounded to us to be serious-minded, and he confirmed that the date indicated above is correct, and that the date of the sighting was not April 07th, as we initially had suspected. PD

The object stopped its ascension and took an eastern line of flight. Stopping after approximately 5 seconds of steady travel, the object made a 180° turn at which time it revealed having three bright white lights and one bright green light. After the 180° turn, the object rocketed in a straight line path back to its original position above the western sky and then descended back below the horizon. I stayed on the telephone with my fiancé for the entire duration of the sighting, and afterword made a phone call to the above listed hotline number.

Summerville, SC
Tuesday, March 7, 2017, at 8:10 PM, my wife and I were traveling in two separate cars SSW on Royal Rd in Summerville, SC. She was about 200 yards behind me, when we both witnessed from our driver side windows a green glowing orb traveling 100 feet from the side of the road, and just above the tree tops moving in our direction. The object was in view for about 15 to 20 seconds, before we lost sight of it because of the trees. Based on my speed of 35 MPH I would say the object was moving about 45 to 50 MPH. I looked for the orb when I came to the next clearing over the junk yard, but the object was not visible in any direction. The object was silent, solid, glowing steady green, spherical, and moving with definite purpose. Source of the report elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
March 7, 2017 · 8:00 PM · OVAL
Lexington, KY
Walked outside to unpack car, and suddenly felt as if I was being watched. Looked up and saw a large bright white oval shape in the southern direction. Stared at it for several seconds, but it didn't appear to move. Bent down into car, then back up, and it was still there. Then I pulled a few more things out of the car, and when I stood up it was gone. It looked like a "full moon" that had been pushed into an oval disc. It was very large and shimmery white.

Extremely large object thought it was a plane flying 100 ft above the ground just above the trees behind our house flying from North to South. I was looking out the back door looking south and noticed it flying very quietly and slowly. It looked sort of like a plane with shiny metal color but was flying way to low and quietly to be a plane and was more rectangular not like it had wings. It had 4 very large white beams of light in each corner of the object shining down, looked like search lights. I yelled up to my husband to look out the upstairs back bedroom window after it had gone past a bit but he didn't see it. My husband asked if it was a drone, and I thought maybe it was but just went online and saw what large drones look like and don't think it was a drone. I am curious if it could have been a plane flying that low. For some reason, source of report indicates that the date is approximate. PD

It never moved, it just sat stationary. It was shaped in a "V" with lights on each of the 3 points. We watched it trying to figure out what it was. We rolled the window down, but it made no noise at all!! Then as we are staring at this object, it simply disappears. It's like it faded away. Never moved, just faded away. Then my mother in law saw it up close this evening around 19:30. It was near the same spot but closer to the ground than before. She said it was the same shape as what we saw 2 days ago and it was silver with a black stripe down the middle. The only difference was she saw a very bright beam of light.

Talking with friend on outside kitchen steps and was discussing how many planes fly over at this time of day, from roughly East to West. (I have an App on my IPad showing their departure and arrival times and speed and altitude, called "Plane Finder".) I was telling him most of these were flying anywhere from 30 to 40 thousand feet and often times they were starting their decent over us, depending on their destination. Anyways; I looked up at one of these planes that was just beyond overhead and flying West and saw a very bright light that was in back of it, yet at a much lower altitude, so I could perceive. This light was not moving. The sun was overhead also, although positioned slightly southwest and more westerly than the plane. The light looked like a light from a very bright flashlight. I asked my friend. "what's that light?" He had to turn, He was facing North. He looked and as we both saw it, it split into 2 lights (splitting from East to West) not too far apart and then gradually faded away. We could not determine the distance to this light, although I would guesstimate from 1/2 to a mile, although I am guessing more than I actually know. When it started to split, I rubbed my eyes, not knowing what I was seeing, thinking that I was seeing something that was not there. It was there. The time I saw this light until it started to split was about 8 to 10 seconds, how long it was there, I have no idea. The time it took from when it started splitting was about 10 seconds, before it faded away. The distance between the 2 lights, after they split was about 5 to 7 times the width of the original one bright light. For example if the original light was say five feet wide (it appeared round), the split lights were roughly 25 to 40 feet apart. This measurement seems to be an interpretation of possibly the height of this light, in my mind, not sure?? It was very bright, so much so, that even with the sun shining on us from a more southeasterly direction, it was as bright, if not brighter but much smaller. I only wish that I could have had a better perception of its altitude or distance from us. What did we see?

We first observed a flashing light in the sky over the tree line. Blue, yellow, red and green lights were flashing on what seemed to be a craft. The light seemed to hover around quickly moving from one point to another within a small area. A few minutes later three blue lights appeared to the right of the original lights and were in a equally spaced line. Minutes later the original light had moved substantially higher and to the left while the three lights remained in the same area. After heading inside for a bit (being physically shaken and paranoid) we returned back to see that all four lights were no longer visible.
