Bartlesville, OK

Tonight I sighted a number of bright white lights crossing the sky moving north to south, seen on the western horizons. These bright lights were spaced evenly at a considerable amount of distance from the next. All seven lights moved in perfect unison and were traveling in a perfectly straight line. This, as well as, a quiet but definite low hum that indicated an overpassing aircraft could be heard as it passed. This hum from the craft was an echoing sound and gave the impression that this craft was very big. Possibly 1/4 to 1/2 mile long suspecting these numerous lights made one large combined craft. This was not the first time I have spotted this craft. About two weeks ago on this day in the same direction, traveling the same way, I and four other witnesses sighted this craft moving at a slightly faster rate. About one hour later of that same night, in the direction of which the earlier craft had moved out of eyesight, an extremely bright and large emission of an orange fireball erupted through the sky moving horizontally in the sky north to south with an orange trail traveling behind. The fireball dissipated within 4 seconds. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Mt. Orab, OH

Multi day event. Monday February 13, 2017 about 8:00PM,we were walking out from our barn to get our horses to bring them in the for the night. I looked over at a small softball park that behind our property, it is closed for the winter. I saw close to the ground a red glowing orb. I thought at first it was someone with a dim flashlight, but then it appeared to flicker out like a flame. Then reappeared, and then disappeared again. I can't pinpoint exactly where it was, since I was looking across several acres, and trees. No one else saw this. Wednesday February 14, 2017, we were again walking out to retrieve our horses. this was around 7:30 PM. My husband said something and stopped.. I stopped and backed up to see, a cluster of these glowing red almost rectangular in shape lights, that were up in the air, through the trees. There were at least 7 lights, that randomly came on and off, and would reappear in other locations. These lights appeared to be dripping something. It appeared as if there were burning embers dropping from these lights. Also amongst these, were white sparkly lights, that would come on and go off randomly. We had a helper who ran out of the barn, to see what we were seeing, and he too witnessed the lights. I then thought to take out my phone and record, and I did get a small white dot, that came on and off, but it is hard to see much from it. A 4th person came out of the barn and also witnessed some of the lights. By this time they were drifting north and getting further way, and all we saw at this point was the white sparkly ones. We watched until they disappeared. Thursday February 15th, 2017, this night we did not have to bring the horses in, as they stayed in most the day, but we did decide to go out and see if we could see the lights again. This was at 7:00 PM. We saw them immediately in the same area. Same red glowing lights, that soon went out. We ran toward the back of our property to get beyond the trees, and were treated to many white sparkly lights, and clusters of pulsating white lights, that we thought at first were airplanes. However, I mentioned that there were too many, too close together to be airplanes, and they were not traveling, they were staying stationary. Then we saw for just an instant, a row of red round lights, that lit up one at a time, till a row was visible, and then they went out just as they lit up. 3 of us witnessed this. By this time the white strobes slowly drifted north again, leaving one loan red orb, hovering over the trees. This was very far off, but we could see it. It would move left the! n right, go up a ways.. over, and then back down. This stayed for at least 10 minutes. My husband saw one that was a small solid light (silver/white), that he thought at first was a satellite, till it came to a complete stop. It sat stationary for about 10 seconds, then it moved straight down, stopped again, was shining for a minute or two then went out. We watched all this take place over about 15 to 20 minutes. By this time we were cold, and decided to go in. We have called a friend with good cameras, to come tonight to see if we can see them again.

It then was spotted again minutes later due W heading ESE directly over our house. Object was a constant light without blinking and appeared to be much higher than atmospheric flight space. Not a satellite or space station, much larger.

Greer, SC

It was my mother and I and we were pulling into our neighborhood late at night after a trip to Charleston. As we approached the house, I saw a small white light in the air that looked like a star. A second after I noticed it, it ascended at a rapid elevation into the sky, until disappearing. To note, the object rate of acceleration was too high to have been a helicopter, so I immediately discarded that idea. I did however, suspect it to be an LED helicopter, which are small, colorfully illuminated toys that are flung up into the air at a high speed. If not a manned craft of some nature, this would appear to be the most likely explanation. However, this white object lacked any of the flashing colors of the LED toy (which would consist of blue, red, green, etc), and did not fall back to the ground at any noticeable time. It merely hung in the sky for a single second, and then took off into the sky. I myself am very open minded to the possible existence of extraterrestrial UFOs; however, I also firmly believe that the majority of such sightings are either hoaxes or misinterpretations. This understanding is what prevented me from making a post earlier when it happened. However, after learning through research that there has been a number of small UFO sightings in the unexpected area of upstate South Carolina, I thought that perhaps mentioning my quick encounter could be worth while. Do note that I am not making a firm conclusion that it was of extraterrestrial origins, but rather that I cannot come to any definite conclusion to what I saw. We have corrected the time indicated above, to reflect a nighttime sighting. PD

Two nights later the TV news showed the same light's, formation, and speed traveling by a rocket at Cape Canaveral. No one knew what they were? Source of report indicates that the date is approximate. PD

National City, CA

I was driving home, going North on the I-805. In the sky ahead I saw 3 lights, 2 bright ones and 1 not as bright, maybe further or just smaller than the other 2. I first noticed the 2 bright lights then the smaller one, it may have detached from the other 2 or have been there just didn't notice it at first. The 2 brighter lights didn't move and the smaller light did, but then they all remained mostly stationary. I questioned if they were planes but then I saw what I knew was a plane, and the plane just flew past the lights, on what seemed like a normal route to the San Diego airport. I kept my eye on them since the moment I noticed until I arrived home. Due to a big tree in the way I don't know what happened to them.

Wichita, KS

Friday night, Sunday night and Monday morning saw a moving object way above Orion’s Belt. It moved erratically and came to abrupt stops. I watched it for a long time. Tonight there are 2 moving objects moving erratically. One is to the far left of Orion’s Belt and is very bright; the other under Orion’s Belt and is dimmer. Each object looks like a star but both move in the same erratic manner. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Shawnee, KS

I was out on my deck stargazing started praying to my guardian angel/spirit guides for help in my life. and right then I noticed a v shaped formation of 15-20 lighted objects flying over me that I thought at first were geese. But then I realized it was lights and geese don't light up. And I didn't hear any honks either. Then I saw the lights in the v shape start rearranging in complex movements. It flew over my house and I looked around the side of the house and it had disappeared. It moved faster than the other triangular ones I read about I bet. I have no doubt that it appeared for me. I will try to get a photo if it happens again.

It then just disappeared, and several seconds later a loud rushing air sound was above us for 10 to 15 seconds. We could not see anything above us but the stars. Then the sound seemed to travel away until we could not hear it any more. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Hi Peter, Yes, it was last night. I made a typo entering the data. We were coming down from the mountain top after repairing a cellular site. ((name deleted)) ((END ADDENDUM))
