Satellite Beach, FL
Noticed bright orange object traveling at high rate of speed traveling from the south to north. Over the two hours we noticed one at a time fly over us with no sound, no contrail. Object was very bright orange, but once it went by, the back side had no color & would fade away.

Northglenn, CO
AT ABOUT 11:00 PM, I HEARD A SCREAM EMINATE FROM OUTSIDE OF MY WINDOW. IT WAS NEW YEARS SO I COULD HEAR FIREWORKS OUTSIDE AND THOUGHT I'D JUST TAKE A LOOK. WHEN I LOOKED OUT, I NOTICED THREE FIREBALL/ORBS FLYING TOGETHER IN A TRIANGLE SHAPE. THEY WERE MOVING PRETTY QUICKLY, QUICKER THAN AN AIRPLANE DOES. THEY WERE MOVING NORTHWEST IN THE SKY AND THEN ONE DISAPPEARED, LEAVING 2. THE 2 THEN SHORTLY THEREAFTER TURNED BLACK AND DISAPPEARED.

Campbell, CA
My friends and I were in the backyard hanging out for New Year's Eve, when one of us saw three large orange orbs glowing in the sky. We all looked up and everyone saw them. They were in he shape of a triangle with an orange light at each tip. After a few minutes one of the lights went out, followed by the other two. They didn't change locations or make any sound, just disappeared.

Coeur d'Alene, ID
Flames diminished, but object still glowed orange.. like campfire embers in the sky. Changed course and flew south, slowly gaining altitude. If the report, from an anonymous source, is legitimate, we assume that the witness meant a nighttime sighting, at 23:59 hrs.. However, we have no means for contacting the source, in order to confirm the time. We have amended the time above. PD

There were 6 objects flying in formation with a bright red light going in direction south-north along the beachline. The objects moved slow but steady. No sound emited, no flashing lights. Then they dissapeared all of a sudden, leaving no trace. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

New Smyrna Beach, FL
I want to say there were three lights to each cluster, but not sure, as it also seems there could have been more. The object was very low to the ground, I thought, and almost directly above my dog and me. It was very cloudy around the lights and the area in the middle of the lights, but the lights were clearly defined. I don't remember the night being exceptionally cloudy, though, it could have been. There was no detectable sound. It seems like the lights were turning, but it's kind of surreal, so not sure now. The lights were just white, no color. It just sat in the one place. I texted my kids about what I saw and went back into the house, and it was still there when I went in.

Hallam, PA
I walked outside and saw 3 orange lights in a row, flying as if they were planes coming into land. After a couple minutes I realized there wasn't an airport close and that there were no flashing lights. I lived next to BWI Airport for 20 years so I'm aware of what planes look like at night. They were orange with no flashing. After another minute the top light stayed still, the middle light moved over right and the bottom moved upwards and they formed a triangle. I stood outside for 3-4 minutes watching this happen, until I needed to grab someone. I went inside and grabbed someone very quickly and went back outside, it only took 10 seconds of my sight off the lights. When I was back outside they were gone. That's it, just like that.

Green Bay, WI
This object appeared to be about "radio tower" height and was simply put a bright light in the sky that appeared to travel straight up and down yet mostly staying stationary for the duration of time it was seen. It was seen for a solid hour by three of us in two different locations and never made a noise. As we entered the house to warm up and go back out it was gone.

Lutz, FL
I just finished eating dinner with my family. Me and my step brother walked outside to launch bottle rockets for New Years. I looked up and saw a formation of Red star like objects moving in a southwest direction swerving left to right the distance was at a very high altitude. We were launching fireworks at the time, so I thought it could of been falling ambers from the fireworks, but after the fireworks stopped, the objects kept moving in a southwest direction, then faded away. I was completely sober and was not drinking.

Victor, MT
Come out of our home to run an errand approx 19:00 hrs looked in sky to south seen and orange colored orb high and a distance of I guess 10 miles also displayed a flash of green on one side. I thought it was an aircraft of some sort it looked to be hovering then slowly moved to the south I watched with my wife till it started to disapear that is when she noticed another to the east of use less than 3 miles I would guess it was orange in color almost a balloon shape moving in a southwestern direction and gaining altitude. We watched it turn more southward and watched it till it disapeared into the southern sky. Its speed was that of a slower jet propelled aircraft but there was no sound and the color was not of anything I have seen on an aircraft. It was a candle flame color.

Lowell, OR
Passing by Dexter Lake OR I saw 2 people outside looking up. Over the Dexter power dam on lake. There were 3 orbs; a tiny one was approx. 50' above the lake; the first one was size of a VW bug followed by an erratic moving one, then the tiny one. Slowly heading up the lake towards the Lookout point dam. They continued to move up into the Willamette Natl. Forest in the Cascade foothills, until we could no longer see them. The small ones blinked out at times and were all silent. They were definitely NOT fireworks. SIZE OF VW BEETLE totally round, very bright dark orange red. Dogs were disturbed and barking at them. The largest one was approx. 100' above the water at all times. As we observed it moving west to east , it zoomed closer to us! We freaked out ran inside house! Came out after few seconds it was back over lake moving east until it left our view. No sounds and lasted 20 mins. to 30 mins. I was on a podcast telling about it.

Mesa, AZ
I was walking down 8th ave near the railroad tracks in downtown mesa, looked up and saw what i thought to be an approaching plane, but it remained motionless in the sky, slighlty gliding around about sundown, its body glimmering with light from a setting sun. It appeared to be hovering over interstate 87 on the pima reservation. I brought a police officer's attention to it who was nearby working an unrelated call, and after he saw it, told me it could be a balloon. The object vanished in clouds soon after.

Eugene, OR
While outside on New Years eve in Eugene, Oregon, I noticed a reddish light moving slowly in a perfectly straight line at low altitude. It appeared to be fairly close, but there was no sound whatsoever (as would be from a drone). When I got my video camera and zoomed in on it, it was diamond shaped in appearance, and changed color from white to red. It also seemed to have a strange phase in and out quality. After a short time the light simply vanished. In all we saw three, one immediately following the other, in the same exact straight line. There was no elevation variance whatsoever that you would expect from some sort of balloon, and no "drift" pattern.

Arvada, CO
I saw a group of what looked like white orbs traveling extremely fast going SW and making a turn in formation to SSW at 9:50 pm over Arvada Colorado. I have also seen a translucent shapeshifting boomerang craft fly over 13 times and have documented it within my own records. This also could have been the translucent shape-shifting craft flying lower, but it looked different. They could have been separate. These things or thing was traveling faster than a fighter with no sound. 9:50 could be a possible route time as I have been witnessing the craft around this time after the time change. Before the time change it was around 8:50 now 9:50? Hmmmm flight pattern detected.....

Santa Fe, NM
It was around 9:20 a.m. There were dark clouds settling in. I could see a bright orange light coming through a break in the clouds (approx. NW in the sky). It wasn’t moving. I thought what a strange light. I kept staring at for a few seconds then blinked a couple of times and it was gone. About ten seconds later a black jet/plane flew across the same area, moving in from the right. Initially I thought the light I saw was coming from the jet/plane. Then logic kicked in and I knew from seeing thousands of planes and jets flying in the sky my entire life that during the day, even if it’s cloudy, a plane or jet doesn’t need a bright light to be seen in the sky. The plane that I saw after the light disappeared had very low lighting, if any. Besides, the plane moved in seconds AFTER I saw the orange light. I know I was seeing clearly as I had been stopping to admire woodpeckers and blue birds in the neighborhood park.

Phoenix, AZ
I was outside watching the overcast in the sky early in the morning and remember thinking "the clouds are the perfect cover for them to observe us without us noticing." Not even a couple seconds later, I saw a dark, round object slightly lower from the clouds, and quickly shoot back into cover. My eyes were fixated in the spot where I saw movement, cause I thought it was a plane or something.. and a few moments later, a huge flash of light trailed across the sky in the opposite direction that the dark object moved in. The trail of light lasted for like two seconds and then completely disappeared. No sound whatsoever. The lights in the backyard were dimming in and out a little bit while all of this happened, but it was also storming that day, so it could have been from that as well.

Me and my brother was sitting on the roof talking and soul 2 white lights shoot across the sky shortly after that of light pointing straight down shot in the same direction towards the Horizon didn't hear any sound but it was fast don't know where it came from but for the past month in the sky along with the Stars it looks as if the stars themselves will move from the position that they're in and move across the sky until they disappeared so imagine a star sitting in one spot and all of a sudden start moving this is kind of like the event that happened today just with a bigger Flash they came out of nowhere and was gone

Bright orange light slow moving at first, then moved very fast, then vanished. Bluish-green lights seemingly chasing, and then hovered, disappeared but then reappeared in a different spot. I took a few pics and video on my cell phone.
