The object appeared as three white lights and when going to look at the lights they moved so fast they appeared as white lines across the sky before disappearing (getting up to and going past light speed maybe)

I was on the highway on e 38th st & pendleton pike when I seen a object that resembled the sun it was a bright ball of light hovering over the highway and as we were getting close it split into 2 other lights then started maneuvering in a weird way it started traveling at a amazingly fast speed then all of a sudden came to a halt and started blinking rapidly as it seen me recording like it was trying to let us know it seen us but shortly after it disappeared and then reappeared on another side of the sky really fast I was shocked on how close we were to it like I never experienced anything of this nature but after this incident I started having problems concentrating on things and seeing strange light hover by my house its really bothering me as if it knew I was recording it and I wasn't posed to or something but I'm glad I got to share my experience and I also have video of this event I'm willing to share

Looking south from McDowell Rd and 202, I saw three pulsing lights hovering in a straight line. After 20 seconds or so, all three lights disappeared. This is the second time in 3 months I have seen these. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Kailua, HI
Sitting in a parking lot looking at the stars. We noticed a light incredibly brighter than any other star. After about 3-4 minutes it broke off into two separate lights, one on top of the other. We then noticed a red light floating above the two other bright lights. After about 10 min the red light disappeared. After about 5 min the two bright lights morphed back into one. As we were about to leave the light moved quickly to the side and stayed there. After about 10 more minutes, the light disappeared.

February 2, 2017 · 6:30 PM · FIREBALL
Mobile, AL
For the past 3 days I have watched the same thing happen in the south west skies about 500 feet off the grond. It seems to be some type of orange fire ball that sometimes is only 1 ball and then others up to 6. The object would only light up for a min then fade away without any noise at all. At first I thought it could have been a flare until it reappeared with 2 , 4 or 6 of the same shape and color objects and the objects have showed up like clock work every afternoon just as the sun is going down and always in the same general area but were obviously not planes or anything I've ever seen and where I live is near two airports one is only a few miles away so I know what an aircraft looks like and where they were wasn't in the direction as the airport. Now the first day it caught my eye because there were 4 of them and they all had long tails moving out to the side of it before disappearing. Tonight After the craft had flickered out the last time a helicopte! r showed up and circled the area for about 30 minutes before it took off over the gulf and never returned. I have seen other craft almost as amazing as this one in the same general area of the sky within the last 6 months also but they were red and blue flickering lights and then shot up into the sky like a bullet. Before I go I don't know if it means anything although I think its strange but each time I have seen these objects I just seem to find myself going outside for no reason it almost feels as though I am being called outside and the second night I saw these things I went to bed and none of my dogs would come to bed (we all sleep in the same room) about two hours after I saw it I woke up with this strange beeping noise in my room and I sat up to see this strange green and red light in a human like shape floating off the ground and about 4 foot tall and then it vanished. I laid back down feeling strange and then I felt my bed sink in rite in the middle of the bed and ! I got a strange and terrified feeling then I felt like I passe! d out , but I don't know if I did or not. Then I saw these flashes in my head of these weird looking kids with big eyes and blond almost white hair that looked like it was falling out or something. This is really bothering me I have never had anything like this happen before so I would really like to find out what in the Hell was I looking at! I tried to take video its really crappy but I am sure I got at least 1 still shot

Fulton, NY
February 2nd 2017, 4PM. I was driving Northbound entering the intersection of S. Second Street and Oneida Street. I was turning left so I was 3 cars back and waiting for the light to turn green. Above the traffic light I saw 3 silvery white orbs, very distinct against a dark gray background. There was a huge lake affect snow cloud building over Lake Ontario and it was a very solid very dark gray sky. They were moving in small, very tight circles. I thought they could be birds but I looked left and the birds over the river were moving totally different. So I said to myself, I'd believe they really are UFO's if they start to multiply. And just then 4 or 5 more blinked into existence to the right of the original 3. As the light was about to change and I was to begin turning left, I thought if they should all disappear, then I will believe this is a real UFO sighting. Damned if they didn't start blinking out one at a time quickly as the light changed. I kept watching as I turned the corner but they wer! e all gone. I came home and searched for any daytime UFO viewings over Fulton and didn't find any.

Harrington, WA
On February 2, 2017, I saw a lighted object moving through the sky straight north. It was moving very slowly, at a low altitude. It was 1:35 am when I spotted this through the window. I watched this for about 10 minutes in the house. I stepped outside to continue watching. It seemed to be about 2000 feet above the buildings. I didn’t hear any engine noise or any noise of any kind, no running noise. There were blinking red and green lights on opposite corners of the object. It did not appear to be an airplane, helicopter, etc. We live in an area where there are frequent airplanes, helicopters, life bird flights at various times of day. The object I saw did not seem to be any of that. What I saw seemed to be egg-shaped or oblong, about 30 to 35 feet across both ways. The source of this report is well known to us, and we hold him in very high regard. We strongly suspect that the event is described quite accurately in this report. PD

Dawsonville, GA
At 2300 hours, I looked out my bedroom window and noticed a bright white "star" shaped object moving slightly in the sky. I then showed my wife who agreed the "star" was moving. I put on a jacket and went outside for a better look and noticed this "star"/light was moving alot. I held my hand up to the sky and measured with my fingers 2-3 inches in diameter that this light was moving. It was doing figure 8 motions and oval motions and also straight directional motions. I woke my mother to come look, she could not identify it. I stayed outside for 2 hours with my mouth open watching this strange phenomenon. It continues now even as I write this. I will look again tomorrow night to see if it is still there. Celestial object. PD

Four orange/red orbs over south mountain area of phoenix. Seen from 3rd balcony in Tempe.Orbs of orange light suddenly appeared. At first two.. Then two more. They stayed in same area about 10 minutes, then each orb light slowly faded away. We assume a nighttime sighting, and have amended the time above.

((ADDENDUM FROM NUFORC AND WITNESS)) Dear Mr. ((name deleted)) Thank you very much for the nice report! We have heard about that object before, and we believe that it is some kind of space vehicle, used by the U. S. Air Force. If you go to the homepage of www.ufocenter.com and scroll down to the posting of April 30, 2015, you can see an illustration submitted by another professional driver, who saw something quite similar to what you describe. Please let me know if it matches the craft you witnessed. Thanks, again! Cordially, Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center Washington State RESPONSE FROM SOURCE OF ORIGINAL REPORT: Thanks. The object was classic flying saucer shaped, at least from my view, which was mostly edge on. It wasn't as large as the illustration on April 2015. No wings, bumps etc. I am very familiar with military aircraft. Thanks. ((END ADDENDA))

Azusa, CA
Object came in low from foothill area to the north. It looked like a trash bag that had caught up in the wind. It seemed to float fast and was going east. Then it lost the white sort of glow and it seemed to dimly glow reddish. At this point but had changed shape into 3 spheres, ovals really, and they rotated horizontally around each other. It gained altitude quickly and got small very, very fast. It was headed east, but up. I couldn't track it because it got so far away it disappeared. Its approach was definitely slower than it moved away. Other details: no wind. Sky was overcast a bit, moon is blurred. But whatever this was, was low enough for me to see quite well. It seemed to go above a pretty busy section, so I wouldn't be surprised if more people saw it. It was low and though size was hard to gauge, it looked decently big. Before I submit this, I'd like to say the color initially seemed whiteish but transparent when it looked like a trash bag. It didn't move like one though. And when it turned into spheres, it happened almost instantly. I'm unsure about the color as the red glow I saw could have been a reflection of ambient light.

Jacksonville, FL
Hovering object believed to be a smaller plane at first with red and green flashing lights. Bright white light at head of object. Oval in shape with a elongated back. Hovering just above tree line with no sound. Drove past and noticed another one half a mile away flying towards other craft but unusually slow. Also, no sound. Noticed another about 3 miles away that flew slow and straight, the bolted upwards at a extremely fast speed.

As I kept watching, I saw them both become larger and fuzzy looking. They then came together and quickly split apart. They then slowly moved further apart and were no longer following along with the plane as if they became stationary or began moving in the opposite direction. I then lost them from view as they got too far behind the airplane.

RESUBMISSION due to error in video URL in 1st submission. Sitting at traffic light tonight at intersection of Huntington and State Street in New London, CT. This is the State of CT Superior Court House. Heading North toward Hodges Square. Drove down two lights to intersection of Huntington & Federal St. See a very bright V-shaped object over my head. Get glimpse, seems to have three bright white lights on one leg of the V and four bright lights on opposite leg of the V.

Abington, MA
Around 5:30PM, I was in front of my house, when I noticed a bright light in the Northeastern Sky passing by the Beehive Cluster. It seemed to be moving so I focused on it to make sure it was. There were no flashing lights and it was just one solid bright white light. It moved through the sky and to the horizon within a couple of minutes. I used my star map to see what was in the sky thinking it could be an asteroid or the ISS but nothing showed up. It was too bright and large to be a satellite or the ISS. Because it was dark and the object was bright, it was hard to pick up any details of the object itself.

Helena, AR
These pictures were taken by my cousin about 2-3 weeks ago. I do not know the exact date or time, as I am just now getting the pictures from him and didn't ask those questions. They were taken near the Helena, AR, industrial harbor. They are the most incredible images that I have ever seen and I know that they are 100% authentic. My cousin can barely use a cell phone. They are real images period. You can see the object in motion and there is no way that it is lens flare. Just look at the telephone pole on the zoomed in photo. It looks illuminated to me. Even at a distance it retains the same visible characteristics. I believe that this phenomenon is occurring frequently here and is able to be captured and analyzed. Back in April I had a very similar experience, the first of my life which I reported here.

I photographed a hot air balloon thru my vehicle's windshield. A few days later I enlarged photo for a close up view. I then noticed what appears to be a silvery ovalish, disc-shaped object. This object was visible to me upon spotting the hot air balloon. It's only visible upon enlarging photo.
