Myrtle Beach, SC
I saw it at least 3 days that week. January 27th (2:29am-2:39am), January 28th (the night my friend was at my house), and January 30th (2:29am-2:36am). It was my living room window where I was sleeping on the couch. I can’t estimate the distance of how close it was to my house except for explaining that it was in front of my house, across the street, and in the woods across my street. My best friend saw it (sitting next to me on the couch) and my neighbor saw it (the next day I was at her house and she mentioned that she saw something in the woods before I mentioned it to her). I knew it wasn’t a star or an aircraft because it would be on the far left of my window then a few seconds later to the far right, and then back again. It also seemed like the lights would flicker on and off. I’d see the bright beaming lights and then it would go black then turn back on again. Then it would disappear for the night and return the next night around the same time. Around this time I also woke up one night to the sound of someone walking up my stairs which are right in front of those windows. I didn’t see anyone so I stood up and walked downstairs and nobody was there.

This morning, around 1:30AM, I was laying my bed and playing on my phone. Every night I hear an airplane like turbulence noise. Usually I think nothing of it, but this morning the noise sounded so close that it caused my bed and walls to move and my ears feel like they would pop. The sound zooms over my house, so I get up to look out the window. I see a red light (shown in the video I Emailed). It moves slowly toward East and stays there for a good 30 min. Then moves back North and stays. It starts to flash a light towards the ground. It does that twice, almost like in a circle. Then the third time it flashes at my window. I freak out and decide to go back to bed (my cat in my bed also was scared. She started to meow weirdly, like she does when begging for water, but she didn’t move to drink). I’m not sure when the light stopped shining because I fell asleep. I didn't want to tell anyone, because I thought maybe it was a helicopter possibly looking for someo! ne. Then in the morning my four year old sister, getting ready for school, tells my mom that someone was knocking on the window last night and she was scared to leave her bed to wake my mom. My mom thinks nothing of it. I show my mom the video and she tells me what my little sister told her. At first I thought maybe it was me she heard because I was by the window to film. When my sister leaves school, I ask her a few questions (I Obviously didnt tell her that it may be aliens because she would never sleep again). We ask if it was a bang or a knock. She said it was a Continuous knock that caused her to wake up. We asked what window and she said the one by her bed, NOT the one I was recording out of. My mom then asked if she saw anything, and she said she saw a person with no hair. I asked if it was fat and she said no, that he was very skinny. I don’t know how reliable a four year olds word is, but I got chills.

Hillsborough, NC
Resembled small Star Wars jet, light in color with green, red & white lights; almost completely silent, going relatively fast curving a sharp right past vision. Low flying, too small to carry more than two people. Appeared out of nowhere, from the east.

Observing it for a few hours, it noticiably had a slow decend to it before it was no longer visible. There were also other verified military aircraft or what seemed to be flying within it vicinity thoughout what seemed to be a decending craft or light of some sort.

We just received this report over our UFO Hotline. The witness has offered to post her video to the internet, and we will include the link to the footage in this report, at a later date. The witness was quite eloquent in her description of the complex sighting, and she sounded to us to be quite sincere and sober-minded. We suspect that she is a capable witness, and quite reliable. PD

Tampa (general area), FL
I was informed of this object floating in the general direction of Tampa from a family member. Looking upward, I could see a bright white-ish ovular object, periodically two other small circular dark orange lights emerged at the top and bottom. No motion, just floating there. I checked google skymap and it said that it was likely Mars or Venus; which, I highly doubt. We have an air force base in this area, but I really don't think it has anything to do with it either. I have checked again before submitting this report and can confirm the object is gone Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

On Thursday January 26, 2017, at approximately 19:10 (+/-5), while looking in the WSW sky (240 degrees) I and two others were looking at Stars, Constellations and Mars/Venus. After showing them Mars/Venus using my Astro-Binoculars, I looked up (naked eye) and we all saw a second bright light (as bright as and appeared as large as the size of Venus (in the night sky) and it covered Mars. It traveled towards our direction (1 second) and then turned left (3-4 seconds) as the bright light faded away. As Private Pilot, I quickly noticed no navigational lights (Red/Green/or Red/White Flashing light).

And astonishingly went out of sight in about a half second, speeding up, then vanishing... after dissipating, flocks of countless birds flew away from event.

Leesburg, VA
There were several planes in the general vicinity, (the closet was slightly further west and traveling northbound), due to proximity to two airports within a 12 mile radius of driver and passenger in vehicle (The Leesburg executive airport and Dulles International airport.) Within ten minutes several helicopters had been heard by three adults, and confirmed by several social med! ia comments of people in the area.

Stepped outside to back porch between 6:30 and 7ish pm on Wed 1/25 (could've been 1/26 but I think it was Wed). It was dark but the porch light was on. I looked up at the sky to see the stars and when I looked to my left (East) I saw a "V" shaped light pattern moving in a due West direction, directly over head. It looked to be very low and very large (I could see it between the roof line of the house and the tree branches which normally, if I see a plane, it's 100 times smaller). I could hear an engine but it wasn't near as loud as when planes go over head at a lower altitude (Richmond airport is about 15 miles from us). It proceeded to my right (West) and then went out of sight over the tree tops. There were five white lights...one in the center at the point of the V and two to each side; and there was one green, small light behind the V shape but further back than the tips of the V. I called my husband out and he got there in time to see it flyin! g away and fading out of sight but he did see it. Since we heard an engine, we thought it was a B-52 Stealth or some kind of very large military plane. But, we have seen a Stealth and they make hardly any sound at all so I don't think that was it. And this was so low that I truly expected to hear on the news that a military plane had crashed in the mountains near Charlottesville, VA (which was the direction it was heading). There is an airport in C-ville but I wouldn't imagine a huge military plane landing there since it's a very small airport. I don't know what we saw but we really don't think it was a plane. What made me start looking on the internet to see if anyone else had reported anything was because a day or so later, up until last week, we had tons of military chopper activity going back and forth. We are close to DC and a couple of military bases so we get training ops flying overhead every once in a while. But not usually this much activity.

Witness provides nice photo, that shows several lights in a line, and against the night sky. We plan to investigate whether they might be landing lights on airliners, descending into JFK Airport. PD

I went outside to walk my dog and looked up and saw a object with green and red flashing lights. It was hovering right above downtown and was higher then the planes flying. It was huge and after after a few of hovering it jetted forward super fast.. It stated glowing bright green.

A co-worker and I were sitting in my car at lunch (12:30 PM EST). Off to the southeastern part of sky, we notice bright white dots or discs. Converging together. Separating, then disappearing. It look like a white webbing that constantly changed shape. Witness has forwarded a high-qality video, which indicates a white "clump," moving across a clear blue sky. We will post the video, at a later date. PD

Hernando, FL
There was only one UFO. It was yellow orange-ish, kind of like a goldfish color. I was walking around 350 degrees north, the craft was going about 150 degrees south east, It was just below the tree tops, when it flew behind them. It looked very far away, but it was bright. I watched it as it moved towards the right very slowly. I hope that's enough.

This is the 6th or 7th time we have seen what ever it is hover over our house...it's triangular shaped and is gun metal gray about the size of minivan (know color cause we had flashlight that we had on it has it hovered over house). We have seen this THING in several location now but only at night. Been tiring to see if there surveying or something in our area but can't seem to find any reports. Tonight's sighting, I had my camera ready and it was to far away to get clear photo (but working on getting a clear shot). It does have a very low humming noise that we can hear in house so we know when it's close. It has 2 red lights and 2 white lights...I feel silly honestly filling this out but have never seen anything like it and now with us seeing it so many times in the last month it has us both curious as hell I won't lie ...I'm 47 my spouse is 55 we have lived here for 22 years and have never seen such a thing ...wondering if not a drone except for the size j! ust to do the sound of it .... ok thank you for your time hopefully will find some report on what's it is

I saw a white light in the sky it almost looked like a star but was too close to be a star I thought it could've been a plane light and it wasn't I kept staring at it and it shot a green light orb out of it to earth. The white light it shot out of had a haze around it. Possible it's a laser of sorts that make crop circles? The white light was so close I captured a picture and usually stars you can't get a picture of. It look like a mini moon with an aura. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) I don't think Venus disappears around 11 pm, or shoots green orbs of light out of it. Thanks. ((END ADDENDUM)) We suspect a sighting of Venus. We have corrected the date above. PD

Six bright lights that formed a rectangle was moving very quickly through the sky. The six lights were spread out to form the perfect rectangle. It then disappeared into the clouds. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
