Auburn, NY
I ran downstairs as my brother was up getting his son ready for school. He and I ran to the window and the unusually large aircraft...long wing span with lights across entire length of wing span. It continued in straight line in direction of Skaneateles, NY. It was not loud. I have looked in news however have not seen anything posted or report of anyone else seeing it. I was a Flight Attendant and know aircraft...this was not ordinary at all. Highly unusual due to enormous size, wing span and amount of lights. I would really like to know what it was. Report submitted by airline employee. Jupiter currently is quite prominent in the eastern sky, but if the object was, in fact, moving, it could not have been Jupiter, obviously. PD

Turlock, CA
My son and I saw a light as bright as the moon. It was large, I observed it to be 1/5 to 1/4 of the moon's diameter. It seemed to be moving South to North. We saw it for 15-20 seconds, and then it seemed to just blink out. I looked like there were smoke trails coming from where it went dark. It was still very dark, so the smoke trails may have just been after effects from seeing such a bright light.

Roseville, CA
What appeared to be a star-like light caught my attention on the horizon while driving west bound on highway 80 leaving Roseville. It looked as though it was shining a spotlight in a cone-like shape downward from the object, then sideways as it moved. Suddenly the object was gone and it appeared it left behind a cloud or smoke where the light was. It was too slow to be a shooting star or a meteor. A helicopter was flying near it on the horizon giving context. It did not appear to be a plane or another helicopter.

Kelso, WA
Was driving home from work, when a bright light flashed in front of me. It was blinding. When I came to my senses I was still driving, but 13 minutes had passed. I also noted that the song on the radio had changed. Upon getting home found burns on my upper back, and the back of my hands. We have responded to the source of the report, requesting to see photos of the burns. PD
February 14, 2017 · 1:00 AM · OVAL
Lexington, KY
I was outside of a house on the deck in Andover neighborhood. It was between 12am and 2am, I'm not certain the exact time. I was staring into the sky when a oval shape appeared, in the front of the oval was fluorescent green and the back of the oval was fluorescent orange. The orange could have been the tracer of a propulsion system. The shape darted across the sky with speed I have never scene and in 3 seconds it stopped mid air and the lights went off. After the lights went off I could see a black oval float in the air for about 8 seconds before vanishing. If I hadn't been following the object while it was illuminated I would have never spotted it while it was black. I have absolutely no explanation for what I saw but it was not a comet event though it had a tracer. Comets don't light up then go dark and hover before disappearing altogether. I will say this was perhaps the most extraordinary thing I have ever seen in my entire life. The event left me aw! estruck.

Goodyear, AZ
They were very bright! Too bright to be a plane or a flare. No trail behind it. And I would think that the flares would be in a formation. But they were in a odd formation. I heard no planes either. I went to get my brother, and when I came back, there were only 2 left, but there was 4 of them. I have video proof. And I have a picture I made to explain it. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

As driving noticed cross shaped object hovering. Turned around to take pictures. As my husband stood up in sun roof object took off so fast was out of sight in seconds. I asked him let me see the photos but he was not able to take them.

Morton, IL
My boyfriend and I were driving to his house from Bloomington, IL. What made the light stick out to us was that there were little to no visible stars. As we were talking, I guess we both noticed that this ball of light, visible in the corner of your eye if youre looking through your front windshield, it got bright enough to finally get our attention. I pointed it out to him asking what it was because there were no stars, about 15 seconds later we watch this ball of white light abruptly dip down almost in a curving motion and completely disappear. We could not find it again. I heard from friends that a couple other people from that town also saw but I personally did not confirm with them.

Franklin, NH
Watched from bedroom window, red, blue and white lit triangle shaped object. Used 10X opera glasses to try to get a better look with no success. Motionless but with some flicker about 40 degrees up from ground for 12-15 minutes. Then a decrease in apparent brightness and dropped approx. 10-12 degrees toward ground and resumed the previous light level with resumption of the original flickering pattern. Total time of observation is 30 minutes before it flickered out. I am a EMC test engineer with a BSME and in the employ of Medical R&D house in Manchester NH.

My husband and I noticed a beam on front window. He looked out to see if there was a car outside. There was no vehicle. He noticed lights to the east in the shelter belt. He noticed 8 lights on top and 10 little lights on the bottom. The object was a sphere.

Concord - Penecook, NH
After those first two steps she turned around and ran back in the hall I tried to get her out the hall but she wasn't having it. I stood in the door way for a moment waiting to see if she changed her mind. Suddenly, a green fire ball shot downwards toward the ground then faded behind the tree line.

West Union, IA
Myself my wife and a friend stepped outside. While out in front of the house no more than a few minutes later we noticed 8 orange glowing boomerang chevron shapes moving across the sky traveling south to north. Weird part was they were flying in a birds V pattern and then switched position so that 6 were in a line with 2 side by side in front.they were moving at a decent rate of speed. Moments later we stepped out again and had just caught 4 more in a straight line traveling west to east.

Highlands, NC
Witnessed a bright yellow orb, not completely round, hovering in the sky to our northwest, possibly over the area of Highlands, NC. Called my husband outside to witness this sighting. It was not high in the sky and seemed to hover at least 15 minutes. We had never seen anything like this before. We set a pair of binoculars upon a stone ledge to keep our hands still and get a good look at this object. It appeared to slightly float up/down. It had a distinct repetitive pattern on its surface. I took several pictures of it with my cell phone. The wind was calm. It eventually moved farther away heading NNW.

I was driving northbound on the parkway, when I saw a bright ball of white light drop quickly from the sky just beyond the southbound side of the parkway. It was unlike anything I have ever seen!

Franklin, MA
Neon green ball like flying object. No sound. No trail. Over 4 story hotel. 150 yards away. Very very extremally fast. Just closing up my business. Pitch black out other than moon on other side of tree line. And hotel lighting. Not like a light flash or a reflection. Not a flare. Really odd & hair on arms stood up on end. If wasn't staring at hotel across parking lot as I locked up I would have never seen it. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Ludlow, KY
One object seen hovering low in the sky. Very bright light, seen through binoculars as oval shaped. Sent out periodic beams of light from below the object and above the object, alternating. Planes seen to fly in the vicinity of the object from nearby Northern Ky/Greater Cincinnati Airport. The light brightens at times and sharp streaks of light project from all around the object at that time. As I type this the sighting is ongoing.

Watsonville, CA
Having a smoke brake in the backyard, we saw about 6 spheres moving around very fast. They kept blinking red/orange and then disappearing, then reappering. A few of them lined up in a row.

Capitola, CA
6 bright red orb-like objects in the sky hovering above Monterey Bay. They looked somewhat like fireballs moving fairly fast in all directions and slowly faded up into the sky within 2 minutes of one another. Definitely NOT mistaken identity for flying lanterns. I am not sure how long they were there for, from the time I noticed to the time they disappeared it had been about 15 minutes.
