Port Orchard, WA
Driving west on SR 16 just west of Purdy Drive exit saw a bright blue light which seemed to off towards the northeast of my location. The light lasted a brief time maybe three seconds followed by a blue/green light which lasted about twenty seconds. It was bright and beautiful. There were other vehicles driving on the highway you couldn't miss it. I did not see any shapes. Background I'm a 42 year old married father. I was returning home from work in my County issued vehicle. I'm employed with King County. Source of report indicates that the date is approximate. PD

Albuquerque, NM
The light up marquee over the interstate reads "wide load." Mile marker 149 I-40 on the outer west edge of Albuquerque, NM. The light up marquee over the interstate reads "wide load, expect delays 9pm to 5am" At about 10:30pm 4 white SUVs with red/white flashing lights in front about a 1/2 mile back a flat bed tractor trailer was carrying a large gray disk shape. It was colored dark gray non-reflective surface and as big as the two lanes of the interstate. About 1/2 mile behind the tractor trailer there where 6 of the same SUVs keeping traffic back. I was standing outside in a campground I was staying at, just beside the interstate.

St. Petersburg, FL
This report is not about the green fireball I saw but what I saw afterward. 2/6/17 I was walking my dog and something made me look up. I saw a large green fireball which then disappeared. I think I heard a very slight sound, sort of a crackling which may be why I looked up. The sound made me think it was a flare, but I know that was not a flare. Also, I believe I saw some red dots over to one side of the fireball. When the fireball was gone I continued to watch the sky because I didn’t know what may happen next. Then I saw two tiny dots traveling together like headlights. But these were so far away there was no glare to them. It was moving in the same little cloud area that the fireball was in. This vehicle (?) was moving up, down, sideways, left & right and finally down on a right angle then it got covered by the little cloud. I stood and watched to see if it would come from behind the cloud and eventually it did but got covered again. Anyone seeing this would agree that this vehicle was searching for something. It moved at a slow pace and in erratic directions. FYI it was a cool clear evening, although there were white clouds here & there visibility of the stars and cloudless part of the sky were beautifully clear.

Salisbury, MD
Was driving on route 13 in Salisbury, MD, going over an artificial hill, when I saw a series of lights in the shape of a parentheses. It was not moving to the best of my knowledge. No sound. Very large. Much smaller than the Phoenix Lights, but if it were an airplane it would be AT LEAST the size of an A380 Air France. The craft was extremely low to the ground. No color, no blinking lights. Additionally the craft was tilted to the left slightly. So this shape: ( tilted to the left slightly.

Reported by the news media as a meteor, although we do not understand why there would be a second flash. PD
February 6, 2017 · 2:35 AM · FLASH
Whitehall, MI
Bright green flash to the north west, which then streaked across the sky like a comet to the north. Color was very unusual compared to any other shooting stars I have witnessed, tail of object was a similar green to the initial flash. I experienced a strange energy tingling throughout my body immediately following said event. Reported by the news media as a meteor. PD

Minneapolis, MN
I was driving home from work very early in the morning on 2/6/17 about 2:30 am. I was driving eastbound across the Mississippi River bridge on I-94. I looked to the southeast and saw a bright ball of light moving downward at what appeared to be between a 45 and 90 degree angle. It was moving very fast and I lost sight of it as some trees came between me and the light. My first impression was it looked like a missile, but I saw no flashes or smoke. There was no visible tail on the light. From the speed, angle of movement, and appearance it did not look like a plane, helicopter, or drone. I make no claims to know what it was, but it was definitely odd enough that it made me take note. We have corrected the date above, to reflect a sighting on the morning of the 6th of February. PD

Athens, MI
Feb 6, 2017, 2325 EST. I started hearing what sounded like a single rotor helicopter just hovering, by the sound, maybe 200yds away, 100ft up. Over about 3 minutes the sound slowly increased, increasing in intensity, until my windows started rattling, as if a train was passing real close. The rotor sound was very loud, 85 – 95db, increasing in pitch. I looked out the window, there was a bright moon, everything looked normal, no odd shadows, nothing blocking the moon. The coyotes were yipping and howling. In an instant, I saw 2 lines of light, one red, one white that formed the “sides” of a triangle, in that same instant, the light triangle appeared to move extremely fast in a straight line making a screeching sound, almost like a startled mouse would make, only much louder. The triangle appeared to be 30yrds away, possibly 15 – 20ft in size, about 40ft up. The “rotor sound” was gone, windows stopped rattling. A split second later, the rotor sound came back 200yrds farther East as just a low, slow moving drone. The triangle light was as clear a light as I’ve ever seen, appeared to be just below a solid object, that now blocked the moon light, The acceleration was nearly instantaneous. The coyotes went silent. 3 hrs later there was a meteor that streaked the sky that was NOT anything like what I saw earlier.

Puyallup, WA
Distinct flash of blue light, twice (2), during snow showers. No visual other than light, accompanied by generator-like sound, loud, then soft. Short interval with electrical surge (possibly). The hum, like generator, just ended at 23:29. Ears still ringing, flight/fright activated. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Carmine, TX
This is not the first UFO I've seen. I've seen them two times earlier around 1997. The first time I witnessed one was a Spectacular site. It happened over Colorado Springs viewed from just south of Cripple Creek very far away. I was with a roommate walk back to town after running out of gas. The point of light moved over C.S., just like a laser pointer on a wall would if you moved it wildly back and forth up and down. It did this for about 3 min. Source of report indicates that the date is approximate. PD

Village of Caledonia, WI
Right after the Super Bowl I looked out the window and saw a really bright light that was amorphous. I have definitely seen similar things in the sky before, but this one stood out to me. It seemed to be moving a lot more than the objects of a similar nature that I had seen before. It would move left, right, up, and down. Also, it seems to change shape, but I am unsure whether or not it has a definitive shape or if it could be inter-dimensional. It seems to shift from a ball of light to a triangular and/ or star-like shape and back. It is most certainly moving back and forth so I know it is not a satellite or a plane as those move continuously in one direction. We used a scope to magnify it and another object my father saw moving near the moon. The initial object was very bright and noticeable and was very clearly moving in multiple directions, but it never shot off or disappeared. When magnified the second object would appear to have a worm like structure and then it would shift back into a ball of light. It was moving as well. Probably Venus. PD

Clinton, TN
Walked outside during the super bowl. Looked up and there was a bright light in the sky, way up in the sky. I thought it must be an airplane, but its lights were different. There were probably 10 lights, white-ish in color in a circular pattern around a circular object. I still thought this has to be an airplane, but it was sitting in one place not moving. Then when it did move it shifted left and the back to the right. At this point I went to get my family, but when we came back it was gone. If I had to give a direction of where I saw it in the sky it would have been a little to the left of where the constellation, Orion or Orions belt is. But at an airplanes causing (sic. airplane's cruising ??)) altitude.

My wife and I both saw over 27 lights, the size of stars or satellites, moving across the sky rapidly in V patterns. One fleet would pass, and then another batch would come out of the clouds and pass. It was mind boggling. Even our 2 year old baby was pointing at them and saying "moon, moon, moon".
