I stood there for about five minutes, browsing the sky, when I seen this perfectly round, super bright white ball and round like a marble that had no noise....no blinking lights....no trail debris like comets, asteroids, planes or space debris leave behind. I needed to get an approximate size. To get a more accurate size of UFO I held up my fingers on my right hand very quickly because the UFO was travelling extremely fast.. My pinky finger at arms length matched the size of the UFO. The bright moving UFO passed from over our home from a northwest direction in a perfectly straight line to the southeast. It was difficult to determine altitude. I'd take a guess and say higher than most man made aircraft. The event only lasted about twenty too thirty seconds. I never forget the experience. I tell people, and they think I'm making up the whole UFO experience. I know what I've seen up in the heavens. We're not allown.

They were pinkish color and stationary, I was driving on the interstate so I couldn’t pull over to get a better view or watch them. They weren’t tower lights, I drive that every day and never seen them before.

Fuquay Varina, NC
While taking the family dog outside, it was identified that an unknown glowing orange object around 1000 feet up was flying just above our house with no sound whatsoever. The object remained at the same altitude and speed until no longer in sight. The orange glow was not indicative of a commercial craft plus it had no propulsion noise. We started recording the event on an iPhone and it was recording but when we went to replay the video only the first seconds actually were captured.

Large bright light with some red moving very slowly in the west. Then just faded. Two nights in a row. Second night seen by three people. Seemed to go behind the peak.

Sarasota, FL
Witnessed six to eight very bright orange circular objects in a semi straight line over Sarasota Florida at around 7:38 pm on 2/11/2017. A few seemed to fade out and back in while others stayed very bright (could be from clouds but it seemed crystal clear out). About 2 hours later that evening I could smell what seemed to be gum powder or the smell right after fireworks and the area had a heavy haze near the ground. This event happened within a few mile of the coast line so not sure if maybe the Coast Guard accidentally dropped some flares or not....they have not said anything that I have heard at this time. Note: this happened within a mile of SRQ airport.

The objects were orange red circular shape with a single flashing light toward the front of the craft. The trajectory was about 3/4 miles to the east and direction of travel was due north at an altitude of approximately 1,500 feet. A relative was to come for a visit, so the camera was being watched in order to open the gate when they arrived, the lights were first noticed on the monitor. My wife's cousin and her husband saw these objects about one mile away as they approached our road, they were traveling west on hwy 16. They all stood outside and watched the last three as they passed to the north. The last pair of objects stopped forward motion for a short period of time. I was not at home and did not see this firsthand, however a DVD copy was made from the video recorder, I counted a total of 21 objects, single, two at a time and in on group there were three in close proximity to each other. They were observed from 19:09 to 19:25, speed was relatively slow and at a constant rate, no sound was emitted, they were silent.

Bozeman, MT
Bozeman, MT - Our sighting location was near Exit 316 off I-90 at Trail Creek at about 18:35 on 2/11/2017. We had been outside for about 10-15 minutes looking at constellations and planets in the night sky while waiting for the International Space Station (ISS) to pass overhead at the scheduled 18:47. The sky was black and very clear. No clouds. The stars, satellites, and planets were easily visible. Suddenly, in the northeast sky, two large, very bright, white lights just appeared above tree top level. The light on the right was much brighter than the left. The brighter light was brighter and larger than Venus was in the sky that night. The lights were of the same intensity and moved in tandem, remaining the same distance from each other and at a 45 degree angle to each other at all times. They seemed like they were connected together. The lights remained stationary as they slowly adjusted their angle until the light on the right became higher in the sky than the left light. The lights paused a moment, then began to steadily move to the northeast until they disappeared into the night sky. There was no sound, no color to the lights, and no flashing. They moved slower than the ISS does when it passes overhead, and they were obviously very much lower to the Earth than the ISS. Total visibility was 5-7 minutes.

Lawrence, KS
It was after dark. 3 lights in a triangle shape at what appeared to be very low altitude. Was approx. 5x the size of a commercial jet but could not tell for sure. Object moved fairly slow, and was completely silent. Appeared to be over an apartment complex so there are likely other witnesses. First thought was that it was a stealth bomber, however it was much much larger and it was not fast as they usually are.

I work in a facility that doesn't allow photography or cellphones. Me and my superviser stepped outside (cloudy day), and to the north of us was a large perfect circle of lights that flashed all around in a synchronized fashion, me and him stared at it in amazment as it glided through the air, me and him have never in our lives seen anything like it. It had maybe 15 to 20 lights all the way around (no physical aircraft was visible), from where we were standing the object would have had to have been rather large. We couldn't tell how high it was but it was completely silent. It was moving from east to the west, he called his parents and told them to get a camera and go outside as they lived about 5 miles away from where the object should have been flying directly over but they never saw anything, we still do not know what we saw and everyone we have discussed this with has not said anything about seeing this object.

I looked out my living room atrium doors. Over the Patapsco River, entering into the Chesapeake Bay, I saw what appeared to be the brightest star I ever seen. I watched it and it slowly moved toward my house. The light then turned at Fort Smallwood Park and went over my home. When I looked up, it was a triangle shape with brown underneath with one bright bright light on the back. It seemed to moved very smooth. There was no sound what so ever. It looked like the size of an airplane.

As my roommate was driving us home at around 2:45 AM I noticed three lights in a triangle in the northern sky. At first I thought the lights were reflections on my window, because there could be no other light source in the area, but then I realized my window was down. I was initially looking outside because there was supposed to be a meteor shower and eclipse that night. It seemed that as soon as I noticed the lights, they disappeared.

They made no noise they hovered stationary two hours and did nothing while there were other planes in the air but they never moved they were above where the planes were flying and they had to be larger than the commercial planes flying around.

Hello, I wanted to share something that happened to me on February 10th, 2017, at around 7:15PM EST. On Friday around 6:30PM I left my house to go pickup a pizza we had ordered for dinner. I made the trip there with nothing abnormal, began the trip home and seem to have lost some time. After making a left turn onto NC RT49 in Roxboro, NC, heading back to my home about 9 miles away, I remember seeing a section of the road where after the left turn, the road has 4 lanes. About a mile or two after that the road narrows to 2 lanes and its around another 8 miles to my house. I moved here about 3 years ago, so I am usually looking around at landmarks, way points, or familiar sights to keep me aware of where I am. During this trip home I remember the part where the road changes to two lanes, but have no memory of what I saw during the trip home until I looked up, saw lights in the sky above me, and realized I had driven passed the road my house in on, and driven another 8 miles or so. I onl! y remember seeing the lights above the road, and had to sort of hunch down in the seat to see them above the road. At that point, I realized where I was, looked at the clock and it was 7:28PM. I thought maybe I had fallen asleep, but the road has some curves-twists that could not be navigated without some sort of intelligent control. I have no idea what happened, but thought I needed to tell someone about it. Thanks, Scott Horner

I am a firefighter, while responding to a call, I glanced over to the full moon and the glow that it had around it. I saw a long cylinder shaped object moving from below the moon's penumbral glow into the glow traveling vertically and along to the right side of the Moon and continued upward out of the moon's glow. It was a huge object.

Ok. So, I'm not 100% sure what I saw. I am a pretty scientificly literate person. I am going to explain what I saw in the best detail I can. Mid-February sometime, I'm driving along the 101 highway near the Vermont exit in LA. It's raining sort of heavy and all of the cars are going about 10-25mph. I see an object floating in the distance. It gets my attention because it's not moving at all, it's completely frozen/locked in position. Mind you it was pretty windy and raining (rare in LA). I squint to see what it is but can't make out any details. At first I thought it was a balloon but a balloon would've been moving with the weather. As I drove closer I pass under a bridge and it comes in to view about 50 feet over the next bridge. As I drive closer I see this object. The best way to describe it would be 3-5 balls in a vertical row connected to a central line that was not visible (imagine 2 balls on the left of the line,3 on the right). The balls were literall! y merging and crisscrossing into each other repeatedly. They were all metallic looking and I remember seeing red, a darkish blue and dark silver colors. The rate at which these balls were merging was completely against the environment and unlike anything I've ever seen. The merging was slow and rhythmic. Kind of like a 1, 2, 3, 4 of a waltz but half time. I looked to see a line, maybe something it was connected to and saw nothing. As I got closer those details got clearer to the point where I could actually see the balls enter into each other and coming out on the other side. I passed under the bridge it was floating over and never seen it again. Being a very sane person, and someone who deeply values science and the scientific method, I have been troubled by not being able to express exactly what it is I saw. I live in Los Angeles and drive on this highway all the time. I've never seen pictures or heard stories of anything like it. Thanks for having somewhere I can put it down it writing.

On hwy 13 westbound heading towards 77, I saw a bright light in the sky far away and high up in the west sky. It remained much brighter than an airplane and was against the sunlight. The light became very intense for about 1.5 seconds and went back to just bright. I thought perhaps it was a meteorite entering the atmosphere but then the object seemed to maneuver around through the clouds (far distance away). The object stopped being bright for several seconds and looked simply dark. There was another object near the first objects location, both moving around very quickly and far away from my location (possibly several miles), both identical in appearance but not in sync. When the first object reached maximum brightness, my heart dropped, this looked like nothing ever seen before and its movements felt playful in nature, as it maneuvered through the clouds.

What we saw was weird we saw some sort of lantern thing that was moving side ways, but it was going super fast. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Three strong, pulsing lights hovering in sky North of Orton, in the direction of the operational coal tipple one red light in center, in between two white lights. Craft was completely stationary. I stood, watching for 45 - 60 seconds. I stepped inside for 10 seconds to grab cell phone to record, but craft had vanished.

At approximately 8:30 PM CST, Thursday, February 9th, I witnessed a bright twinkling bronze light on the Eastern horizon. The object bore resemblance to the iconic “North Star,” but much larger and seemly closer. At first I thought it might be a street light, as it was stationary and in comparable size to one roughly half a block down from me, until it began to move behind the street light in my view. I saw the object gradually move North, while maintaining its position on the horizon. I made a quick effort to locate my phone, in hopes of taking a picture, but by the time I returned, the object was steadily moving out of my line of sight, until I lost track of it beyond the trees. My guess was this may have been a satellite, but I have no way to confirm. Source of the report elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. PD
