Was sitting in my living room when I felt the house rumble. I looked outside the window and a large saucer with circular lights was covering just above the tree right outside my window, so close to the house I could see details--circular lights, tin colored, very sturdy looking. When I called for my significant other to come over, as soon as he approached the window, the saucer flew off so quickly it was almost uncatchable.

Dandridge, TN
Having never in my life seen something like this, I hit record and took a video of it. The colors were nothing the ffa has approved and I was leery to be out there. I called out to my sister's boyfriend and my son as they were near me and pointed it out. They both felt the same way I did. Leery. We watched the craft with it's pulsating lights and zig zag movements for almost 20 to 30 minutes when suddenly it went at an amazing fast speed straight up and was gone. During the entire time my dogs refused to go outside and were whimpering. During the recording, I made there are grey static anomalies. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate.

Spring Hill, FL
As my husband was driving down Mariner Blvd. I in the passenger seat noticed a cylinder very bright fireball object in the sky. It looked as if it was falling but never fell just kind of stood in place maybe. I came home to check news reports, because I was for sure it was a plane. Nothing is being reported as of yet. Found this sight in the process of my search on what was going on. My daughter tried to get pics but it was too far away for a phone camera. It was like a falling explosion in the sky but never fell. We have changed the time above, to reflect a nighttime sighting. Possible sighting of Venus. PD

Newport Beach, CA
We were at Balboa Pier, in Newport Beach, California, at approximately 8:15pm pacific time on 12-30-16. We were looking at the horizon to the west into the ocean, for the moon, (which there wasn't) and noticed a steak in the clouds. Then out of the clouds suddenly a bright round light appeared. We were saying to one another it was an airplane, but it just stayed in one location for about 3 minutes and then withdrew from its origin in seconds. With no residual light to be seen or any new light originating. We all felt like it was peculiar? Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Miss Point, MS
It was traveling NW. We saw it several more times between Moss Point and the Barton community. It moved very fast sometimes in a NW direction and the last 2 times we saw it going in an easterly direction. It had no distinct shape just kind of a fast moving glow.

I just saw 2-3 looked like stars, not a plane, in the west sky. The one top left "joined" the one bottom right. Top left one was orange/red, bottom right was white. Looked like a haze or object in the center, more like a haze Til I ran for my phone to take a picture they were gone Never saw anything like that in my life I've been seeing the large bright "star" in the SW when no other are visible but this tonight really shocked me I've never reported anything like this in my life It really was something I've never seen before I think military base to the west but not sure This was NOT a flare I'm still thinking about what I saw!

Gresham, OR
Bright white light has been spotted about the same place in the sky SW, this is the second time we have seen it in the nights sky. Took pictures this time and went out at 18:22 and light was gone. The sky is clear and can see other stars in the sky, at first looks like a plane coming strait at us but have watched it for about 5 min. and it does not move. It sits pretty low in the sky but I don't think it's in the Earth's atmosphere. Am going to watch it until it goes away next time to see how it leaves. Sighting of Venus. PD

San Antonio, TX
What I initially noticed was a large orange light that was kind of glowing rather than blinking like normal aircraft... As I continued to watch the craft fly from right to left (south toward the north) about 50 degrees from the horizon I realized it's too big to be a Chinese lantern (about half the size of a dime held at arms length) and is not any kind of aircraft I am familiar with.. no other lights just one large glowing fireball. It was flying at a normal airplane speed.. maybe a little slower and produced no sound. About a minute later I see a second object flying from the same direction.. It to goes by then a third, a fourth.. I watch ten orange fireballs go by. They were flying at different altitudes and distances, some are larger some smaller and have slightly different 'shape'. The tops produced a slight halo of a lighter shade of orange. I ran into the house and grabbed my iphone and came back outside in time to film the final one go by. I think it was 11 total but it may have been 12. It was like a ufo parade. Very strange. I'm certain others must have seen it as they flew across the whole of east and north San Antonio. After they left a couple airplanes, possibly military, flew past the general area.

I observed two apparently high flying objects on 12/30/16 from about 2:41 pm to 2:45 pm , moving west to east. The objects, which were white, widely spaced, tiny pricks of light in an otherwise perfectly blue, clear sky moved in unison, with no visible difference in speed between them. They were barely visible to the naked eye. Polarized sun glasses helped make them much more visible due to their ability to darken the blue sky. They moved out of sight to the east and moved in a very straight line the entire time of the observation. Prevailing winds were light and westerly. I photographed the objects with my full frame DSLR and was barely able to fit the objects in the same frame at 165mm focal length. I may have been content to believe they were balloons, but, approximately 8 or 10 minutes later, the same, or very similar objects were observed moving from north to south in very close formation, they were right next to each other. They were observed for approximately a minute. Their track appeared to be exactly perpendicular to that of the original two objects (I had a house dormer to compare them against), and they moved in unison as the others did. The wind had not changed direction.

Around 1:01AM on Friday, December 30th, 2016, I witnessed multiple flying objects in the night sky. I was up watching a show, when all of a sudden I heard a loud and peculiar noise, not one of an airplane but it was louder and more high pitched. I looked out of my bedroom window and noticed a flying, lit-up diamond shaped object coming from across the sky, so I watched it. Curiously, I stayed until it was out of sight, then right as I was about to turn around, I saw another one coming from the same area where the first one had come from. So I waited for that one to pass, but before I knew it I was there for over 45 minutes just watching these objects go from one side of my window to the other. Finally I had gotten tired of waiting for another one after about the 15th one so I headed to bed. There was a gap between the 15th,16th and 17th ones. Around 1:55AM, I went to lay down in bed whenever I heard the noise get louder. Two of the objects flew close to each other a! nd stopped. About 15-20 seconds later they left one going one way and the other the other way. I thought it was finally over until I heard the noise coming back again, but shortly after that, a train came at 2:02AM, and after that train, there were no more flying objects that were seen.

There was a bright object that was low at the horizon at the very northeast corner of the sky. At first I thought it was a star or planet that was low in the horizon, I check my smartphone, on some astronomy apps,and what not, and didn't show it was any natural thing that bright as objects that close to the horizon tend to look bigger. The object was definitely above the mountains as well. I watched it for about a minute and a half at least over a wall about 3 feet from me that is about 6 feet tall, I'm 5'9". And then suddenly the object dims considerably and moves off heading east, to recall even further it seemed to look like a slight streak moving, I had to step a couple of times to my left to see it go because it was being obstructed by a palm tree. I saw this in my backyard which faces north. As far as I could tell it isn't any type of aircraft I have seen since I live close to Nellis AFB. My best guess is a helicopter but it didn't have any blinking lights and it was far off in the distance away from the city and above the mountains. I'm at a loss as to what the object may be.

Last night I took my dog outside around 10 pm. I live on the edge of the city near a heavily wooded area, so it’s usually pretty dark as we don’t have street lights. A few moments after stepping outside, I noticed there was a light blinking through the tree line at the very top towards the south. I thought it might have been an airplane or helicopter passing by. I disregarded it, really, until a few minutes later when the lights and object finally appeared over the trees. The best way I can describe it that the 3 lights on it formed a triangle. The lights pulsed very softly and would change between a bright white and blue every few seconds. The lights hovered there for around an hour until they started blinking more rapidly and the craft started moving in a wide circle around the trees. I would guess that it was making a ½ mile loop. I ended up taking my dog inside because he was so unsettled that he started to shake and at one point tried to slip out of his collar to get off the leash. I bring this up because he's a very well-mannered, calm dog and usually enjoys being outside. A few minutes later, a second triangle shape approached from the north. The two triangles approached each other and hoovered very close to each other for just a few minutes before the first triangle completely blinked out. The second triangle then moved closer to the tree line (where the first one had sat after coming out from behind the trees). It stayed there for around 45 minutes, pulsing softly. Around midnight, the lights started glowing brighter and then all three lights seemed to move and meet until they formed one bright light that blinked out. While I do believe in aliens and the like, I normally wouldn’t say anything, except that my neighbors also witnessed this and brought it up this morning as I was leaving for work. They said that their child had woken them up very disturbed by the lights and had cried until both sets had disappeared. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

At approximately 21:30 on 12/29/2016, I was sitting in my living room watching a movie on my laptop. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a bright red light in the sky out my living room window. At first I thought it was a firework, but the light stayed constant and there was no sound, such as a whistle or boom. There were no lights on in my living room at the time of this sighting. My living room window faces East. I quickly got up from my seated position and alerted my daughters to the bright light in the sky. One of my daughters had her cell phone handy and I asked her to take a quick picture. She did take the picture, however, the she had the flash on and the quality of the picture is not the best. The picture does not accurately reflect the bright red of this unknown thing in the sky. Upon inspection of the picture that my daughter took, I believe there were at least 3 unknown objects in the sky. I continued to watch this bright red thing in the sky until is just disappeared. It did not appear to have any upward or downward motion, it just disappeared. Honestly, as a skeptic, this has me a little rattled.

My sister, mother, and I were sitting in my living room when my mother pointed out something in the sky. My mother is not a firm believer in UFOS, but we gathered around the bay window. The object was massive, about as big as a full moon. The object was a deep red, about as red as Santa’s suit. The object didn't seem to be moving, just sitting in one place. The UFO seemed to sit for about three minutes until it began moving. It seemed to be moving downwards, only a few feet until it disappeared. It didn't go behind any structure, it seemed like it just went invisible, disappearing out from the sky. We went and got into our vehicle to go look for this light, but we didn't find anything. That's when my father said that we should contact and document our sighting. My sister did get a picture. The picture wasn't the best quality, but to me, it seemed like there were more UFOs than originally seen.

We crowded around the window staring at it. The object was higher than our neighbors', but just was there. Not moving up or down but was just there. We stared at it for 3:00 min., not doing anything, because we didn't know what we were looking at. “Take a picture.” My mom said, quickly. I snapped a shot with flash mode on, not realizing. I tried to get another picture, but it disappeared. It like began fading into the darkness of night. The size you could tell was big
