Layton, UT
Was returning home from taking red box movies back and I seen thus weird light in sky and it was looking normal until I noticed the way the lights we're beaming in a half circle in front or behind whatever the object was. I never seen something so strange. My fiance told me I was seeing stuff because I tell her I seen weird objects all the time over here by HILL FIELD BASE BUT THIS WAS DIFFERENT. IT STARTED TO DO WEIRD SHAPE FORMATIONS AS IF IT WAS UNDER WATER AND I NEVER SEEN ANYTHING IN OUR KNOWN FLY TECHNOLIGY DO WHAT I SEEN AT THE SPEEDS OR AT HOW QUICK IT WAS. IT WAS NOT NORMAL. THEN THE CLOSE I GOT HOME THE QUICKER IT GOT AWAY STILL DOING INFINITY SIGN FORMATIONS.

I went outside to take the garbage out and looked straight up and slightly to the north. There were two red lights that were a steady glow (not blinking and without shape other than looking like a star). They were hovering together. After a few minutes the one on the right slowly moved North and faded out about 10 seconds after moving, and the one on the left slowly moved South and faded out about 15 seconds after moving from the hovering location. My wife came out in time to see the one moving South.

50' diameter light colored orbs moved in circles as well as rose and went down behind the ridge line. The area they were over is near I-75 where there is an old chemical waste dump site near Dante Rd. and Central Ave. We drove around the area to try and locate a source, none were found. The car radio signal was broken up, and cleared up as we left the area. Some remained still as others moved about in a very clear area over the ridge,there was no sound noticed,at one point a single object appeared for a very short time 20 to 30 seconds. A larger round red object with white lights ringing the edge appeared several hundred feet to the north, it disappeared as quickly as it had appeared, it did not move during the time it was seen and appeared to be the same size as the others with a different shape do to the ring of white lights which gave it a saucer type appearance. The night was clear and the objects were in plain sight and very clear in definition

Bountiful, UT
In the dark of night we saw a light in the western region of the valley. We thought it was a helicopter. However, it was too high and too stationary for it to be a helicopter. We looked up flights in the area as well as star charts and could not find an explanation. However, we do notice that it is moving minimally very minimally side to side.

I was sitting on my porch smoking a cigarette when i saw a red orange ball of light moving eastward. The ball of light had no blinking lights, which immediately raised a red flag in my mind. It slowly flickered out and then disappeared behind the clouds. Once it disappeared, another rose from the west and followed almost the exact same trajectory. This one disappearing in a section of the clear sky. I called my family outside to show them as one by one they came out of the west only to disappear. This happened a total of seven times before it stopped

There were many orange lights scattered in the sky, when they were first noticed they seemed to form a giant somewhat circle in the sky. The formation scattered with less of the orange lights. The orange lights were just floating in place, becoming less and less. Then finally the orange lights looked to form a perfect triangle and then disappeared.

A very bright light, stationary in the NW sky, then became an array of odd lights. Got binoculars and it eventually faded like it was moving away. Visual episode was about 5 minutes. No sound. Venus?? PD

I immediately called kids outside, to see the Space Station, but realized this was much lower maybe 10K feet? There were no other lights. Even my eight year old daughter said its only bright white not another color to be seen for duration. I have heard you for years on shows to say to report these as we see them, and I have usually not done so, but now that time has passed. ISS. PD

Clio, AL
It was close to sundown, no stars out as it was still just a little too bright. I noticed what I at first assumed to be the 'North Star' next to a cellphone tower, moving rapidly down. I told my friend who was driving to stop the car, and she pulled over. We watched it lazily keep moving down, assuming it was helicopter. We couldn't hear any noises, and noticed the lack of other lights and an outline. It moved to the left, grew brighter and then disappeared.

I was in the front yard, time was 3:00 pm. I was looking at the trees in the yard, when this light caught my attention. It stayed in one position for approximately six minutes, I could see what looked like a shaded (dark) area at the lower portion of the sphere. The object appears to pulsate the light it was giving off. At this point in time, I went into my house and brought out my digital camera and took a few shots. Then I noticed an airplain from Scottsdale airport fly from east to west underneath the object, bringing to mind that it was farther above and away from my location than I originally thought it to be. A little later it moved upward and south and disappeared.

Oceanside, CA
Noticed a metallic looking object floating in the sky, heading east from west, clear blue sky, little bit of wind, maybe 1000 feet high guesstimate, maybe 10 feet wide guesstimate. No sound or fumes. It could be a Mylar Balloon floating but not sure, and don't think so, so took a couple of pics. Object drifted behind the big tree, then never reappeared. Strange. My wife and I have also seen many lights in the night sky over the past month. Some are a brilliant flash of light, size of a distant star. Some flash 3 times and then disappear. This is all happening over southern California, near Marine base, Camp Pendelton, Oceanside.

My wife and I were having breakfast at a bagel shop at 12914 Ventura Blvd this morning. We were seated outside, and near the end of our meal, I glanced around the sky. It was such a beautiful and clear Southern California day, especially after the recent storms in the area. While looking around, I noticed a twinkling white light to the north, about the same height in the sky as the top of a street light pole on Ventura Blvd from where we were seated. I first thought that it was a very bright and early star, but the twinkling was too bright to the naked eye, and I immediately observed very slow movement. My next thought was a potential satellite sighting, but no straight flight path existed — movement was somewhat erratic, though slow at times. This was easily confirmed due to the light’s position just to the right of the street light pole, which allowed me a point of reference in the sky. The light was far too high, to my observation, to be commercial aircraft (best guess was 150,000ft or more) — it was too erratic and slow for a satellite path, and it also didn’t appear to be any type of rocket (to my knowledge) due to it’s start-stop movement. The emitting of light (or glinting of sunlight off of the object, which was another thought) also had no pattern and seemed to be random, almost as if the object was spinning about — at times it became so dim to the point that I’d thought it disappeared, then it would randomly shine bright seconds later, as bright as a star in the early evening or early morning sky. The level of brightness was observed changing drastically without obstruction as the light slowly pinged about the clear blue sky. A second white light holding the same characteristics was also observed momentarily, further up in the sky and to the left of the first light I fixated upon. To confirm, my wife and I both observed these objects and all of the mentioned movements/lights. The only further detail I observed on the main light was the emission of tiny, nearly invisible, red lights — these seemed to be ejected from the object and quickly disappeared into the blue of the sky. This detail was very hard for me to see, but I know that I did observe this. I captured iPhone video of this sighting, and upon review later in the day, both white lights (along with their visual characteristics and movements) can be clearly seen in the footage. This entire event lasted over 3 minutes. I captured over 2 1/2 minutes of footage, but I did have to stop recording because we had to get going about our business.

A loud pulsating sound of low tone/pitch woke me up at approximately 3:00AM EST. The sound seemed to get closer and further away at random intervals. I've never heard a sound like this before. This did not sound like a combustion motor or any other motor I have heard. I tried to see if I could see anything in the sky but could not.

At first I saw a bright red orb float directly upward then disappear. Then it came back into site and floated downward. Then it appeared somewhere else and disappeared and then came back to wear it was. I haven't been watching the sky nonstop but I have been checking occasionaly and I have not seen it again. This happened about half an hour ago, so I guess it stopped. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Trinity, NC
2 pairs of bright white vertical teardrops, each pair separated but in sync. Small pulsating red, green, blue and yellow lights. Seemed to be stationary in NE sky about 45 degrees above horizon. Traveled in sync with stars and crossed the sky in a three hour period. Managed to take some low-quality photos.

See attached photo taken from driver seat looking straight ahead on road. See what looks like two slim eye shaped disks with three round lights lined across their length. They were lit up in between the two mountains driving past Atkins Rd Grover NC on Route 85 South West towards Spartansburg/Gaffney, SC, 27 minutes away. Time and stats taken from camera. Driver took photo--thought could be moonlight between clouds and that it looked like a pair of eyes. Yet photo shows the three round lights across on each.

Boca Raton, FL
This past Saturday night around 10:30PM, my wife and I were on our porch and noticed some odd lights on the horizon. We saw a total of about 10 over about a 20 minute time span. They rose up from the horizon to the NE in groups of 3 or 4, perhaps around the Delray Beach area. They slowly traveled South rising upward along the coast and disappeared into the low cloud cover just about due East of our house. They flew quite close together and were too bright to be drones. They didn't have flashing lights like standard aircraft, but more of a steady orange glow. They may have been far enough away to be over the ocean, but that still doesn't explain what manner of craft they were. Planes don't take off and group like that and I don't know of an airport North of the Boca Raton one nearer than the somewhat distant Palm Beach International. If anyone else saw them or has an idea of what they might be, I'd love to hear about it. Here is a photo of a group of 4 facing East NE with the rightmost one about to disappear into the clouds.

Looks like a bright star!! But it is no star!! Zigzags in the sky and moves very slowly. You would think it was a star or planet but it seems to be way too low to the earth to be a planet. We thought it was a plane but it made no sound and no flashing lights and in the video u can see other planes and such flying and they were no comparison! The first night we saw it was two nights ago. It was in the exact same spot and was green (video)!! Tonight, same spot same movements, but it looked like it was orange for a moment then had a hint of green every now and then. There is a star in the background and you can tell that whatever it is is moving away from the star and is obviously not supposed to be there!

While trying to photograph Venus tonight, my Wife, Son, and I witnessed a strange constellation of orange, steady (not blinking) lights in the eastern sky moving in what appeared to be a south-westerly direction. The Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) disappeared below the SSW horizon. There were five lights forming a triangle or chevron, separated by what appeared to be a great distance. I am familiar with common aircraft navigation lights, and these lights were orange--not the standard red, green, or white.

Chardon, OH
I was on the second floor of my home, sitting on a couch that looks out a east facing window. I noticed a bright light sitting directly above the tree line of my front yard. I went to the window to take a closer look to see if it was a plane or a drone. The light did not waiver and sat, about the size of a beach ball in one spot. At this time it was 8:29 p.m and snow was densely falling outside. The light was bright enough to be clearly seen, even in the adverse weather. I opened the window to listen for sounds such as a helicopter or airplane but none were present. It felt as though the light was watching me and I was watching it. I shut my blinds and continued to watch the light through them. Suddenly 2 more beach ball sized lights appeared. One was positioned about 75 feet away from the first light, but hung at the same level. The second was about 100 feet over to the right, and hung lower than the other two. I called down to my husband, and joined him a! t the window on the first floor of our home. We watched the lights together for about another minute, and then all three started moving toward the left, northbound up the street and out of sight. I am a 64 year old librarian and my husband is a 69 year old retired brick mason and decorated Vietnam combat medic. We have resided in our home since 1987 and have never witnessed this phenomenon before.
