2:40am, I was smoking a cigarette in front of my home, when I looked up and saw this octagon shaped craft hovering over the trees and stopped for almost 2 mins just hovering I called my son since he wasn't able to sleep either to make sure I was seeing what I thought it was. Then when I turned my head it began to spin uncontrollably, saw this HUGE flash of light like a lightening bolt and this horrifying ZOOM type noise and it vanished, as I was pondering over what I had saw, the object began to appear once again this time in the shape of a triangle, making its way towards the school that's next to my development. It seemed like it was jumping stones like weird. It would appear closer in the blink of an eye. I tried to get a pic on my phone but in a flash it disappeared. When I walked inside my home, it was 3:30am that's what scared me. I'm honestly shook over this.

I teach alternative education high school science, and I don't believe in aliens or UFOs...I'm a total sk!eptic. But I can't explain what I saw.

I have been seeing this light in the Sky pretty much every night for the last few weeks.... It looks like an amazingly bright close star. I'm an avid star gazer so I immediately noticed this oddity. The first time I saw and watched it, I didn't leave the site of it and after about 20 minutes it brightened a great deal then disappeared. I've never seen that again as I have not watched it constantly again but I will spot It, go about my business checking on every 5 minutes or so and at some point look out to see that it's gone. I have taken pictures. Three on 01/20/17. Two tonight, 01/21/17. It is strange looking when I zoom in. Venus. PD

Senoia, GA
We saw a very bright light low in the western sky, thought it might be a plane because it kind of shimmered, the light seemed to grow and dim as if it might be rotating or changing shape slightly. we watched for nearly 20 minutes and it did not move. It was significantly larger than any planet or star we have ever seen. My husband said suddenly it looked much further away though he never noticed it "fly." We suspect Venus. PD

Bright light like a star. Too close to be astar with blinking red lights. Just hovering.

Saint Augustine, FL
I went to get my mail from my mail box at around 6:50 PM and then I saw a dense light on the sky. I called my husband and my son to see it and it was a white dense light circling 360 degrees miles above the clouds going faster than a plane with no sound and it flew in a circular formation and we stopped counting the time it circled over the sky after 500 times until it disappeared at around 7:12 PM.

Woodbridge, VA
It was very much like the color of a green traffic light, only much, much larger and it was very high in the sky. It was not an even shade of bright green. It was brighter in the center and grew darker as the light approached its edges. While it is very foggy tonight, the fog did not diminish the intensity of the light in any way. There was only one globe and it suddenly went out like it was never there.

At first I didn't think much of it as we are near the flight path of the Daytona International Airport. However these lights were brighter and they did not blink like planes do when they are flying. I paid more attention to these bright orbs and they were moving from west to east at a steady speed when the first group of 5 suddenly disappeared. The next group of 3-4 did exactly the same and disappeared in the same spot. Two more groups of 3 or 4 followed that pattern. I couldn't tell if they made a sound as there is a lot of noise from traffic etc in this area. Note: I have seen Chinese lanterns and these were not moving in the same way or at the same speed. Also there was very little wind at ground level. The first group of 5 were positioned with one in each corner and the last one in the center and they maintained these place locations until they disappeared. I tried to video tape this event but did not catch them through the screen and due to their speed, did not want to miss them by taking time to get outside.

Tulsa, OK
Noticed an extraordinarily bright star NE of my location; after several seconds of watching it, the star appeared to be blinking. Figured it was a distant airplane. Some minutes later, I looked again, the object appeared stationary. After several more minutes, same thing. The blinking was intriguing, so I grabbed my binoculars. I braced the binoculars against a door to get a steady focus. The object appeared to be a string of horizontal lights, with red lights blinking somewhere along the middle and another on the left end. Figured it was a very distant jet, and the sighting was occluded by atmospheric conditions. Over the space of about 45 minutes, the apparent direction of travel was to the east and it may have been moving with the earth's rotation. Thinking it was a planet (unlikely, as it was well to the north), I double checked with "in-the-sky.org." All of the planets were eliminated as an explanation. After a total of about 90 minutes, I went back to look again and the object had moved well north and slightly west of its previous position. Another look through the binoculars provided pretty much the same description, with the possible exception of a gap in the lights. As I type this, it is moving below the tree line out sight in the general direction of Wichita, Kansas.

Plantation, FL
Seen from Miami from the south, guessing approx. city it could be over. Green/red/white and maybe blue lights blinking on/off and all around rapidly and constantly. Lights do not appear to be moving at all - not moving closer or further away and do not appear to be moving left to right or up or down. Looking with binoculars too. Bright, rapidly flashing lights appear to be sitting still high up in the sky, approx. 30 degrees off the horizon. Cannot tell shape of vehicle. Smaller aircraft have come and gone by. Object has not moved and continues to blink like a disco ball. Airplanes have been heard passing by. Clear night. Just noticed 2 additional similar objects super high up with bright flashing colored lights. One over maybe Hialeah and one over ocean to the east off sunny isles.

There are hundreds of them. I would be happy to show you and send some pictures I have taken. 2 years ago I saw what looked like a gray saucer leaving from this area. Happy hunting. Source of report provides aerial photos, which indicate modest circular marks, but they don't appear to us to be authentic crop formations. PD

Wasilla, AK
I was driving home from work one night, and as I was driving down the Parks Highway In Wasilla, Alaska, up in the sky, I noticed a bright white light. While observing this I estimate that it was roughly 3-4 thousand feet up just above the cloud layer. This light was like a lighthouse beacon that revolved about once every 5-10 seconds. It stopped after about 5-10 minutes of me noticing it. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Littleton, CO
We saw what appeared to be a lights flying side-by-side. They reminded me of luminaries, but they were obviously under some kind of control, as they were flying in a straight line, heading northeast to southwest. Then they moved back and forth toward one another, almost like they were one unit. We then noticed two more coming over the horizon, so I started to record them. They continued to come in tandem, making absolutely no noise. For the life of me I have no idea what they could have been, but I can’t imagine them being any kind of aircraft or drone, as they made no noise and didn’t have any red or green lights, only a steady warm yellow glow. All in all we saw at least 8 . I will upload the video.

Around 8:15 pm, my uncle and I were in my back yard talking after watching a rocket launch at Cape Canaveral through our binoculars at about 7:42 pm. We witnessed wave after wave of orange flame like balls of light coming from the west and heading east northeast. They first started going over in pairs and then the rest were staggered. Objects appeared to be moving at around 800 to 1000 mph at about three thousand feet altitude. On some of the objects the flame would go dim but you could still see a blue glow around the object and track it across the sky. The objects made no noise and were probably five miles to the north of us as they crossed the sky. I am a ten year naval aviation veteran and my uncle is a retired airforce veteran. Neither one of us has ever seen anything like that before.

DeLand, FL
My wife and I were exiting I-4 at the State Road 44 exit heading into Deland for dinner. As we were on the on ramp directly ahead of us above Volusia County Fair Grounds we observed a fireball. As I was driving I was being careful to watch the road while we observed it. The object was orange like a camp fires flame. It appeared round in shape. I mentioned to my wife it may have been a Chinese lantern, but it moved too quick to be a lantern, yet too slow to be a meteor. As we continued to watch it, it appeared to extinguish itself for a moment, but not completely. A few seconds after it 'extinguished' itself it reappeared as bright as it was when we initially spotted it. We lost sight of it as we merged with traffic on State Road 44- it was now behind us. We pulled over as soon as it was safe to see if we could get a better view but we could not find it again. There was a light aircraft flying in the area, but no where near and at a different heading that of our mystery object. Sighting of 2nd stage ignition of missile launch at 1942 hrs. (Eastern). PD

Then I noticed another light moving, however much, much smaller and it stopped as well. Then both began moving again. We couldn't continue to watch them since he would have been late for work. This isn't the first time some kind of object 'hovered' above my property. The last time it was daylight and there was a witness standing beside me this time too. The object was triangle in shape, the right and left side the same length and the bottom shorter than the 2 sides. It also appeared to be somewhat transparent...kind of a silver / grey color. I turned my eyes away fr! om it for a moment, and when I looked back up, it had disappeared. I guess we had watched it for about 2-3 minutes. Kind of makes you think someone is spying on you.

Summerfield, FL
My first sighting was on 1/18, around 8pm to walk my dogs, I saw a star bright light to the West of my home. I thought it was the North star, I watched it as it flickered from bright to dim. At 10pm I went back out and it was gone. I thought nothing of it. 1/19 -8:45 pm – I went outside to walk the dogs again, same light star bright flickering in the same spot, it was bright, then dim, to dull with a hue, I went and got my cell phone to take a picture after 3 photos, my phone went dead, shut off. I went to get the binoculars and my sister to see what she thinks. Thru the naked eye you really didn’t see much movement, it looked like it was moving but the light was so bright moving in and out, you were memorized. But thru the binoculars, we saw red/orange like fire, it rotated, zig zagged, with several bright lights, moving top to bottom, circular motions, around 9:30pm it disappeared slowly to the South West. We suspect a sighting of Venus or Sirius. PD

Skillman, NJ
Night sky. Looked like 6 planes converging as though they were going to crash. Then they lined up vertically with perfect spacing in between them and hovered for at least 10 minutes. I was driving so I don't know how long they stayed there. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she sounded to us to be quite responsible. We suspect that she is a reliable witness. PD
