Very low flying and extremely loud. Flying directly east. Maybe military?

This is the third time my son has seen this object. Other times have been in the early morning around 0700. The object has been in trees then down the middle of the road. On January 07th 2017 he noticed it through the trees. But you would lose sight of it like the trees where blowing in the wind. You would wait for the trees to move to see it again but you couldn't you would have to move slightly to see it. It was a very bright flickering light that seemed to glow and flicker. I got in my vehicle with my two kids to get a better look. When we started to video it with a video camera it was a white diamond shape which we caught on tape. It changed to a circle with lights changing on it. The outside was a green with the middle being red. As we recorded it I had the camera on full zoom without touching the video camera it would come in and out of range. Towards the end of taping the object wouldn't allow me to get a steady view of it when before we taped it with no problem with it moving. We have this all on video. We decided to get closer. As we went closer it seemed to go farther away. By the time we got to a small town near us we couldn't find it. We went to the west of the town (we had come in from the east) we could no longer find the object in the sky. We went back towards our home, to the east, then we could see the object again out in the far distance to the west. The object moved to the north about 4 miles and to the west farther. We tried to get close to it in our vehicle but it was too far away to catch. I called the UFO hot line you told me it was Venus. I looked online today on 01/08/2017 and it looks just like the orbs that people are reporting and video taping. The difference is we caught ours when it was a diamond shape and then it disappears on the video and returns as a circle. We looked up what Venus looks like from Earth and this wasn't Venus, at least according to the websites I visited.

New Berlin, WI

I was walking west at 8:10 ((sic. p.m.) cst when I observed a very bright, round white light in the northwest sky rapidly descending from 30 degrees above the horizon to disappearing behind the horizon. The white light was very much brighter than the many stars visible on this clear, crisp night. The light was also very much brighter than an airplane passing by in the west sky.

On my way back home in was way in the distance shining thru a mist of clouds. Also, noted aircraft flying way above that unidentified object trying to make sense of this.

Nashville, TN

I observed 4 bright orange objects flying in a straight line in a southerly direction. They appeared to be glowing as if on fire but left no trail at all. They flew very steadily and consistently. They flew at an altitude of a small airplane. They were in the northeast night sky. They made no sound.

Las Vegas, NV

I was in my back yard by the Chimneya fire watching the night sky and watched several planes take off from the NLV Air Port to the west/north and end up under the low clouds of the afternoon, it was a usual site for the day. At some point I noticed above me heading from the north to the south south east a fast moving object, It had no Nav Lights. UNDER the cloud covering moving faster then any plane I knew towards the south south east, at that point I grabbed my cell phone and switch it to video to grab the image I got on my phone. No Sound, Did not go through the clouds which were way low today. We have corrected the time above, to reflect a nighttime sighting. PD

Denver, CO

Looking westward we saw three orange lights that hovered and the began to ascend two of the lights moved north east and the third was moving erratically left right and the it disappeared just above the horizon. They moved in such a way that no plane could fly.

Hendersonville, NC

On January 7th, around 6:30 pm, I observed two bright white lights equally distanced. They appeared to be an airplane coming towards my direction. As I got closer, it seemed to stop moving and just hover. I watched it for 5-7 minutes as I traveled south on Hwy 176. It appeared to hover over the Macon bank and Burger King Parking lot off Hwy 176. After I passed the bank, I kept looking back in my mirror but couldn’t see anything.

Coon Rapids, MN

There were several craft coming from the North West sky in Coon Rapids, MN. They were basically in a formation as far as travelling through the sky. Some were single and some flew in pairs or in triple formation. They were glowing bright orange almost like fireballs. They were at a fairly low level and not at a great rate of speed. Although as they passed overhead towards the Blaine Airport (Southern direction) their speed increased, the brightness of the "fireball" dimmed and they pretty much vanished into the night sky. They were totally silent. Stealth silent. I tried to get their attention by the flashing light on my phone, but it did not really seem to affect the pattern they were travelling, or speed. They pretty much paid no attention to it. We stood outside hoping to see more flying over but no more were seen. Very interesting.

Merced, CA

From my backyard, looking due West. I see two bright orange stars, 10 times brighter than the brightest star. Both are descending from 30 degrees to let's say 25 degrees altitude, due West from my perspective. Separated from each other by about two inches at arm length. Each light was horizontal to one another other. After two or so minutes descending very slowly, they changed direction due North (moving one or two feet to the right, at arm's length.) The whole event lasted 5-10 minutes, or so, before each light disappeared, one after another after a 2-3 minute interval. The event repeated itself, identically. https://youtu.be/pFLGmOweVtM

Kalama, WA

Driving southbound on I-5, leaving Longview me and wife saw a extremely bright light hovering in a low position over the freeway we took the next exit to get a another look it was gone this was not a plane or helicopter it was a extremely intense ball of light hovering in one spot when we turned around there was nothing it was gone and it only took me 1 min to get to exit 32 where I could turn around. We have corrected the time and date above, to reflect a sighting at 1905 hrs. on January 06th, 2017, not 2016. Source assures us that he is familiar with most celestial bodies…stars and planets…and that the object he saw was not either one. PD

San Anselmo, CA

I come walking down the street and turn the corner and immediately notice approximately a dozen bright yellow lights hovering about a half mile to a mile to the east of me. These lights are all at eye level and are hovering in a large group over the city of San Anselmo centered around the Red Hill area. Behind this group there is a V or triangular shaped formation of 3 lights that look just as if they came out of a welder's torch or a soldering gun.I walked over to talk to a woman that was looking through the trunk of her car and said do you see what is going on over here. She joined me for about 15 minutes as we observed this group of brightly lit objects. She was very concerned and totally amazed at what she was seeing and had never seen anything like this before. There were two large objects about 200 yards apart with approximately 7 to 10 objects in between these 2 large objects. It looked like these objects were swarming in between these 2 large brightly lit objects like bees swarming around a hive. All of these lights looked the same except they varied in brightness. These objects looked like they wanted to be seen and were totally cluttering up this small area with no attempt to cloak themselves or become dimmer. This concerned neighbor and I were looking at this object on the far left of this formation for 10 to 15 minutes and could not make out any specific shape to it, except to say that it had streams of light coming of it, and that it looked like an oblong "lava lamp". Finally this object on the left began to strobe or blink and started heading southwest toward Mt. Tamalpais area with all the other objects following. My neighbor said this was going to be bothering her and she was going to be thinking about this all night long and was going to be upset if this was not talked about on the news.I told her I witnessed a crazy amount of activity the night before but the activity was farther away and out over the bay near San Rafael.

Tigard, OR

We have been seeing this weird object in the sky, for the past 3 days, from 6 pm to around 7 pm. It is a wild flash and when looked through a telescope it is shaped like a round circle. It is also spinning as we look through the telescope. Sighting of Venus?? PD

Austin, TX

I am trying to get other people on FB or otherwise to say they if saw it... I posted to FB 30 seconds after my witness, trying to get another witness. I was just casually outside having a smoke. I am an artist, and generally interested in the clouds, the stars, what the sky looks like. I wasn't paying any special attention. I saw the constelletion Orion, and thought, "that's odd; I don't think this rises for hours?" The sun was up, so not that visable. It started moving north across the sky way way way too fast to be stars. I was in Austin corner of 51/Airport this formation headed north. They looked like evening stars, except evening stars don't move even close to that fast. I sometimes have vision problems, so I kept taking my glasses on off, on off, on off. NO I saw the same thing either way. Last I checked, Orion doesn't change ten degrees in 30 seconds.

Sandy, UT

I was out working looked up in the sky as normal. I saw what I that was plane or something. Then realized there was no blinking lights. Also our planes come from the South or South West. These were coming from the East mountains. I then took out my cell phone and started recording. My camera quality was poor so it did not capture what I was seeing. The colors red, orange, and purple. The orbs started off low then went higher. They all went south then out of camera view the shot up out of sight. I uploaded the video to youtube.

Kennewick, WA

i had just got home from work and met my roommate out on the lawn of our apartment (5100 west Clearwater ave. ) when we all saw three black diamond shaped objects in the sky above the city, it is undeniable they were positioned vertically and moving through the sky horizontally while also moving at a very slow speed in tight formation, they then acended vertically after making an almost 90 degree stop and disappeared from sight so quickly that they were gone in seconds which leads me to beleive it was at a speed not possible for aircraft designed by humans, the three aircraft did things any educated human would know is impossible for our aircraft designs started with the mechanics of bird flight, almost like they wanted it to be irrefutable that this was a military op with secret tech i have no video but a great memory and decent sketching skills if an drawing is needed, not even sure where this will go or why im writing it but i believe someone should know ! since it could have something to do with hanford seeing as its only hundred or two hundred miles from where i saw this

Rochester, NY

Driving 490 West on the East side of the Genesee River, I first noticed a formation of white lights, as if the object had multiple lights, brighter white lights on the outside with smaller white lights outlining what looked to be a large craft. I could not see the craft, only the white lights. The lights were unmoving, unwavering and not blinking. Prior to this, while driving through Fairport, I had seen a moving object, which looked similar, however I dismissed it as an airplane, as it was flying in the direction of the airport. Shortly after seeing this larger object, I noticed several, I was driving so couldn't really stare at them, but there were a minimum of 10 bright red lights in the sky to the south of the highway, sporadically hanging in the sky. They were intensely bright and some were moving around. Visually they looked like a column of red lights there were simply not in a row, and they ranged from close to the rooftops to well into the sky.
