Holiday, FL
I was driving north towards Holiday on Anclote Rd. (not far from the Anclote Power Plant) when I saw 3 solid green lights (taking up a vast amount of sky and forming a triangle) enter my view of the night sky. They were moving to the right, (north east) yet flying at the same speed and maintaining the same triangular shape. What captured my curiosity was that directly behind them and flying in the same direction was an airplane with flashing lights, however this plane was larger than the 3 green lights and obviously a plane. It looked like it was following the other objects. I watched the green lights travel across the sky together and at first I thought it was one solid object (in that case it would have been enormous triangular object) however as soon as I screamed out “What is that?!” one of the three green lights (the bottom left) started flashing red and white lights, as the other two green lights and flashing airplane remained the same and moved beyond! the tree line to where I could no longer see them. Then, this once green object with the now flashing lights abruptly changed directions and started flying back to the west. It was very confusing and I remember thinking, what are they doing? I wasn’t sure what to make of this, maybe it’s nothing but I haven’t seen anything like that before. I thought it was interesting and wanted to share what I saw!

Roanoke, VA
I was driving my girlfriend back to her house that is somewhat close to the Roanoke airport. We first noticed the aircraft's after turning off Dent Road and they appeared to be leaving the airport. At this point, they seemed to be right above us. This was strange because it is usually the direction that aircraft come into land. It was already dark but there was a particularly bright moon and yet I couldn't make out the shape or size of the aircraft's what so ever. They were flying very, very low at this point and when I stuck my head out of my car window I couldn't hear any noises coming from them. There were 4 flashing red lights and 4 solid soft white lights. I couldn't determine if it was one per aircraft or not due to the strange movement. When the lights were above us they appeared vertically but as they moved in front of us they/it rotated to a more horizontal position. The back lights mimicked the front ones but with a slight delay. I was sure they were helicopters but could hear no sounds from them and I have never witnessed military helicopters that fly over our area to fly in such a close square-like formation. They left south-east of where we were which is the usual path or military aircraft but they continued to fly oddly low for the rest of the time we could see them. I am unsure of who to contact to find out if there were military helicopters at the airport during that time or not. My group of friends have been keeping a closer eye on the skies and have noticed a rise in the number of strange objects in our area. If there is any information on how to find out if there were copters at the airport I would love to know.

Bright reddish light with darker red undulating 'aura' around it. It seemed to be moving upwards, getting smaller. It eventually began to fade and went out as if extinguished.

Issaquah, WA
I was driving I-90 west again, but I noticed the object before I got off the exit. As I was driving, in the corner of my eye, I saw a bright light speeding in a half circle, like it was changing directions. I automatically looked out my window and noticed that it was much closer to the ground almost as far down as an airplane would go. The object looked like a hollow triangle with circle like bulbs on each point with bright yellow lights that alternated from yellow to red to stark white. The object was heading towards Issaquah, Washington and it went out of my vision really fast. After seeing that I was telling myself, "Okay, maybe i'm just tired" but when I got off exit 11 and when I was waiting for the stop light to turn green I saw the object speed back into my sight and then stopped. Now this confirmed that I wasn't just tired because there is no way that an airplane could turn around that fast and just stop moving unless the pilot was on crack. Wh! en the light turned green and I took my left turn the object started to move again at a steady pace toward Seattle, Washington (opposite direction of Issaquah). I decided to follow the object but it kept moving in random directions and I had to get to class so I turned my car around but when I looked in my rear view mirror the object was gone. Whatever this is, I keep seeing it at around 7:05-7:20am randomly heading from Seattle going into the Issaquah area. January 11, 2017, I saw it again while I was driving into school and couldn't get my phone out fast enough to capture a picture.

I got up from my bed, and I thought I left a lite on as the bedroom was all lit up. no, the light was coming through the window, I looked out and saw a circle object above my nabors house across the street. on the west side of the streey it was so big it could have been coming from a few blocks away. my nabors house is 30 feet wide and this circle was a good 10 feet bigger on both sides I stood there and watched. the color looked like the moon, what ever color that is. after 10 min. I just went back to bed.

Birmingham, AL
About 3 am, I was up watching tv, when I felt a low humming in the air. It had a wide range of volume so I knew it couldn't be in the house because of the brick structure I was in. I walked outside as the humming got stronger, looked up and saw nothing but complete darkness which was normal but the humming was right above me and moving. Then about thirty seconds later, I noticed the black sky I thought I was seeing was moving cause now I can see the back of it moving away making view of the real night sky with stars and night light. The black object slowly moved on over my back yard which is three acres but the object was at least one mile long and one mile wide cause of the duration of time it took to become noticed by sound and the time it took to disappear. It was about a quarter mile above my trees. The sound was a air humming sound with no detonation.

I was asleep in bed with my girlfriend, having a random simple normal dream about a supermarket, when the dream abruptly switched to an empty white room where men in blue hoods were rushing toward me, I awoke with a gasp for air and a balled fist. I then noticed a low rumble sound coming from outside. I opened the window to see a large black and purple amoeba-like object in the sky. It looked as if it were made of gel or some type of thick liquid. It stayed for about five minutes before completely fading away and the sound shortly followed. It didn't fly away, it's like it simply became invisible. Tried to take a picture but my battery died as soon as I opened my phone. I feel like I should also note that our cat was running around the room which is not normal for him at all. I am a 25 year old male, and I've never seen anything like this before. It has been over two and a half years since my last experiment with psychedelic drugs.

I am located south of the Griffith Observatory about 10 miles form Santa Monica near downtown. I was facing SW when I saw they object. I observed it moving in an easterly direction then it stopped behind a cluster of clouds rays of light still breaking through openings in clouds. It started moving again, then disappeared.

At first I thought it may have been a shooting star or comet but the altitude was too low and it was flying across the sky not down from the sky.

I was at home going upstairs to bed around 9:10 pm. I looked out the window at the top of the stairs and saw a bright white light pulsating. I went to my room to get my binoculars. I saw a round disk shape that I was thinking looked like a holographic form because of all the tiny white lights and connecting lines of white. It was hovering over and began changing colors, red, green, white. I yelled for my daughter downstairs. She also viewed the object. We then went outside in the front yard. I looked through the binoculars while she was trying to take pictures and record off my phone. The object was higher than a plane ( one of our videos has a plane flying underneath the obiect) and was higher than a cloud , but not as high as a star or the moon. We took turns looking. I observed it changing shapes from circle to triangle. It was moving up and down and would also go from side to side. I would see it spilt and was describing as pie shapes, it would split ! and then pull back together as a solid circle shape. We watched for about 45 mins and decided to go inside. I continued watching upstairs out the window where I originally saw it. It continued doing the same actions but the shapes were changing into like a fish shape and what seemed like a cylinder shape. The only thing I could see was lights connected by a white line, these are the shapes I am describing. I continued to watch from there until about 10:20 pm. The object then zipped further away in the distance toward the south and out of my view. I have a big window facing South and was able to view the object from there. It was further away in the distance. I continued to watch the same patterns, but I was able to see a separate white light moving around the bigger circle, this light had even tinier white lights falling down from the sky. I continued to watch till 12am when it was even further in distance and harder to see with the binoculars. Daughter Cassie’s detailed description: It was about 9pm on 1/8/2017 I was downstairs watching Tv. My mom went upstairs for bed. About 5 min later she’s yelling my name telling me to come upstairs. She said she saw a ufo outside! So I took a look in the binoculars and got focused on what she was looking at! Once I did I saw a holographic diamond shape in the sky! I looked around at all the other bright lights I saw in the sky of course because I was really wasn't believing what I was seeing! Nothing else up there looked like this so We went outside to get a better look! I watched and watched this thing for a good hr.! it was just hovering over one area until it disappeared and went to a new spot about 2 hrs later. While looking at this threw the binoculars I could see it rapidly changing colors. I’m not sure how else to describe it other than the colors just blended together & you could see all of them at one time. It also kept changing shapes. I’m not sure if it was turning and I was just seeing a different side of it or if it was actually changing the shape of its self. I did see something open up from the bottom and a bright ray of purple light came out of the bottom of it! It did not last long though I would say it was there for what felt about a minute then the purple slowly disappeared. When looking at this threw the binoculars I did get a little freaked out & thought something was watching me so I felt I needed to stop looking. When looking at this with your naked eye it was just a really bright ! light. While recording it on the phone with no flash on it was a bright light that quickly moved from one spot to another without any explanation. I have never seen anything like this before! it was absolutely amazing to see! At one point an airplane flew by and this object was above the plane level but below the stars! I later looked up imagines of a satellite & this object looked nothing like any satellite!

Appeared to be chopper in northern sky. Did not move for 1 hour. Very bright, no directional lights. Moved north to east very slowly for half an hour then continued east slowly dropping altitude as it moved. No sound.

There was a second, reddish light that exhibited motion as it floated towards the freeway behind us. It was all very surreal, and it haunts me to this day.

We often see strange lights gathered in this spot. We were playing Scrabble last night and the house shook and rumbled so my husband and daughter looked outside and saw what they believe to be two fighter jets. Fifteen minutes later we left for mass and saw 9 lights gathered at the spot! In 9 years, we have never seen that many lights gathered there. It is highly unusual.

Southfield, MI
I saw a large blue/white light traveling across the sky around 6:30am. I was driving westbound on 696, getting off to go north on Telegraph, and saw a bright white/blue light streaking from right to left across my windshield. It looked like a meteor to me because it was traveling incredibly fast and was heading downwards and there was no sound whatsoever. The object appeared to be a few miles away and started at about 1000 ft and then continued downward on an angle. I was expecting some sort of impact but when it got to about 250 ft from the ground the light disappeared (and did not move behind any building). The light seemed to shut off and whatever it was seemed to stop moving and dimmed out to the same brightness as a star. After that I did not see anything else.

Golden, CO
Woke up at about 3 am to a loud melodic hum during the catastrophic wind storm that hit Colorado this month that sounded like it was above my house. It was like nothing I’ve ever heard before. It moved north away from the house and sounded like it was moving back and forth between the northern and western part of Golden. I woke up my girlfriend and she was able to hear it to, but couldn’t make sense of it either. Checked around while it was going on and the sound didn’t appear to be created by the borderline record setting winds blowing through or against anything as the noise remained consistent in volume between wind gusts. Also, being from Wyoming (arguably the windiest state in the country) and having heard a lot of wind against a lot of different things, this hum was still like nothing I’ve heard before. I checked the skies around the house, but it was overcast and all I could see was the glow of the Denver lights bouncing off of the cloud deck. But considering the fight or flight response that sound was eliciting from me, I’m glad I didn’t see anything if I’m honest. My every instinct was telling me to get as far away as fast as possible. It’s worth noting that the hum was higher pitched and seemed to alternate between 2 tones. It scared the hell out of me but oddly the sound was kind of pretty in a way. I’ve found a lot of reports online of a “hum” that detailed a really low pitch that almost chimes, but this was nothing like that and was both several octaves higher and constant. Also conferred with my next door neighbors. They woke up from the wind at about the same time that I did and also heard the noise, but they’re pretty heavy sleepers and fell back asleep pretty quickly without giving it much attention. To be more specific, it didn’t occur to them that they heard a sound until I brought it up a few days later. I stayed up and listened to the hum until about 5:30am before falling back asleep myself. As far as I can tell, no one has reported this to anyone. I’m prior military and a fairly level headed person. So far, nothing has ever made the hair stand up on the back of my neck like that hum.

Ball Ground, GA
Reviewing security video, from last night, due to my dogs barking last night. When I was reviewing the security video I noticed a very bright orb enter the left top of the frame. Almost the diameter of a full moon. The diameter of the object is surprising. From the time of entry into the video frame, to loss of site behind the treeline is 45 min. I don't know the scale, but about an 3/4" of travel in the video. I have never seen a planet nor a star with that much luminance, nor the diameter. We live in a heavily wooded area. This video was taken through a dense tree line. The density of the orb overcomes this without distortion to the intensity until it dropped below the distant mountain tree line

The object appeared to be elongated tear drop shape and seemed, to be shooting across the sky from the east to west. Lights went from white to blue and yellow in color and seemed to have disappeared in thin air.
