Tucson, AZ
While a passenger in our car heading south in Tucson, Arizona, I glanced out the window and saw approximately ten large bright round reddish-orange lights flying in formation in the western sky. They formed two parallel but slightly “zigzag” rows: the first few lights forming a straight east to west line with the rest of the line continuing slightly farther back; the second row of lights created an identical row behind it, each light being equidistant from the one in front of and beside it. The first thing I did was lower the car window to rule out reflections on the glass. I could make out no forms nor sound of aircraft and these lights were solid, not blinking as normally seen on aircraft. They were not individual lights on a larger craft as I could make out faint clouds in the sky behind and between them. I watched them move Northward across the sky until I couldn't careen my neck any farther out the car window to see them. They maintained the same formation the entire time, and did not “fade out” as flares would. I waited to file a report until I had a chance to: 1) drive down the same stretch of road again, at the same time of day, to see if there were any extremely high light poles or radio towers, etc., that could have accounted for the lights and; 2) contact the local Air Force base to confirm whether they had conducted any drills, flare releases, or other such maneuvers that night. The answer was no on both counts.

Clearwater, FL
Triangle in shape, in trio, exact equal space if drawn with finger to sky, will draw a "air triangle" Seemed to appear out of no where. Hoovered in one position for approximately 7 seconds facing to the area of MacDill AFB in Tampa, Florida; zipped in straight lines for few seconds, to the left, forward, to the right, and backwards; for approximately 3 seconds, one was actually overhead, before moving to their original location where first spotted. Then suddenly zipped straight up into the sky, unable to see further due to clouds moved in. They seem to appear in the primary lighting area, the "point end" of triangle, was "brief" - Flash of light. Consider a strobe light flash; but not the same as a lightning flash (there's no storms in area) as if "images were being taken below them". One flash for each "stop" movement before taking off. All 3 looked alike, from appearance: all were triangular in shape, had lights underneath - appears to be white, non-blinking, stationary lights. 2 Witnesses were able to count the lights for a total of 9 primary lights and a possibility of 21 secondary lights? (Movement was too quick; a photo shoot by the reporter came out "blurred light movement", unable to process or post image). It made some type of a noise as a "hum" sound, that which one would consider as "electrical hum" pitch; only when these 3 moved to another position. Reporter of this post has seen this before - 1966, 1986, 1996, and now 2016 - in time frame of Fall/Winter (except 1996, was very early Spring and a different object, which appeared to be two wheels, one big wheel (outside) with one wheel (inside).) All events occurred within or nearby MacDill AFB in the Tampa Bay Area; Reporter of this post, plus the 5 Witnesses (current event) seeing this is facing E to ESE direction. (Compared with previous visitations) Triangle shaped flying object is triangular with a sloop "upper" which gives the Reporter the idea of "Dynamics and Aerodynamic" design. It appeared that USAF Pilots took off in the area shortly after their manifestation. Too dark outside to determine if the USAF Pilots were responding to the event. The animals, such as dogs, cats - dogs whimpered and cats scampered into "hiding". The digital system when into error, electronics malfunctioned; DVR and Modem rebooted. Phones were disabled; more so when overhead, attempt to take photo of one of the three, failed. One of the object which was overhead, appeared to be at least a size of a football field (Best guess) - far SMALLER than the one seen earlier; especially 1966 - when Reporter had actually been in contact with aliens, which currently are known as Greys. US Government has been with this reporter since 1st contact in 1966. Other witnesses saw it, much of them scoffed; a couple considered someone "had a drone" ... but drones do not move this supersonic speed, zip without turning sideways and forward/backwards and zips straight up. A few reported having headache after this event occurred, went home to take a Tylenol.

I went outside to walk my dogs and I looked up just as a glowing green light darted across the sky over the highway parallel to my home silently, and in a matter of seconds. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Garland, TX
i went out at 1840 pm to have a smoke and noticed a big bright light in the southwest sky. I first thought it was a aircraft of sometime but it wasnt moving. i watched it for 7-10 minutes and it was stationary in the sky. This light was huge compared to stars and other lights in the sky. I put my little finger on my right hand over the light to try and gauge its size. The lights size was that about halve the size of a pencil eraser. It was very bright and to be honest the closest thing I could compare it too and i know this sound hokey but it's shape reminded me of "the star of Bethlehem"...just a big bright light with a four point star look. I came inside house to grab camcorder and it's battery was dead so i started charging my camera. I then went to google and googled astronomy events and all i could find was that Jupiter was near waning crescent moon at 1am this morning. I could find nothing about what I was seeing. I went back out and watched some more and it was just a big stationary light. At no time did i think this was a Helicopter as I see those all the time with there spot lights on. Since it was dark I couldnt tell if this was a celestial or terrestrial light...i believe it was celestial. I came back outside at 1950 and the light is completely gone!! it is just gone...we do have some clouds but I can still see the stars that are much dimmer than this light in the southwest sky. I have no idea what I saw. I wanted to submit this report in case someone else witnessed the same thing. I just googled star drawings and the image that fits what I saw is the "christmas star"...that's the closest i can describe for you.

Anchorage, AK
I looked out of my north facing window after a vibration broke all of my dishes. I saw a light, too bright to look directly into. Someone was behind me in my kitchen. I had my rifle, (bears) the rounds passed right through it. I fought. My fists didn't ever hit anything. It told me that Anchorage would be a stronghold. I woke up naked in the snow, three days had passed. My watch still said it was the same day. My cats won't come within ten feet. I've never seen rorschach behave so aggressively. These cats are my babies, I've raised both of them from kittens. Both if them hiss and claw ar me since the event.

Eden, ID
10 miles north of Eden, on the night of December 21, or specifically 3 am on Dec. 22, 2016; two very large green tinted flashes occurred in the eastern horizon and large scale in nature...approximately 5 to 10 miles wide. It lighted up the eastern horizon and I tried to video it. I was working in the desert all night for two nights on a scientific study. I watched intently and it again occurred at 6 am. The next day when I was listening to the radio station 98 FM The Snake, they announced that other people had witnessed this too. I don't know if it was a UFO, but it was the closest thing I've ever seen to something related to UFO's...it was really amazing.

I was watching the clear night sky other than some distant clouds in the horizon. A jet black beam, shadow, or wave barrels across the sky and disappears. Since this is not a object or something that emits light I have no idea what it could be, potentially a form of Aurora borealis? It raced behind the clouds with a section still to be seen above the clouds speeding through the sky, so it is in outer space or appears that way. I have seen this before in but has been smaller multiple sections following each other, extremely fast and just cut across the sky and disappear. They almost appear as lines like in the parenthesis as a example (I, ll , lll ) but almost fuzzy like a low lit shadow along the edges.

This was low flying, moving very slow, dead silent. Four lights in a row towards rear, a light in the center shaped like a square with a triangle on top, and two forward facing spotlights on each side of shape.

Hillsborough, NC
I was driving last night on a dark portion of the the highway, some trees on either side of the highway but the sky above me was uncovered. The sky was mostly clear, you could see the stars clearly. In front of me I thought I saw a shooting star, so I looked up, but it was closer and larger than any comet or shooting star I’ve seen and lasted for a while. There was a bright green round core, and a silver/green trail of light behind it, like a comet would have, but much larger and closer. It lasted for about 4-6 seconds, was traveling very fast, and then disappeared quickly before it reached the horizon.

Strasburg, VA
Arrived at my house around 9 pm just east of Strasburg, VA, when I noticed a series of lights coming over Signal Knob mountain. The lights formed a triangle or "V" shape. At first there were only 3 but then 2 additional lights turned toward the front of the object. We watched the lights for several minutes, they were white, in a straight line, and moved silently and slowly. The object was large, probably 1000 feet in length and was entering the Dulles flight path. It soon turned and headed south and eventually faded out of sight. A few minutes later, we saw 5 aircraft coming from Washington, DC, area at a high rate of speed directly toward where the object was heading.

Redwood City, CA
Pre-arranged siting with Beings of a red/orange glowing orb above the soccer field at local park. Was able to get a shaky video while walking toward orb. The orb darted around starting out small and continued to change shape, size an color. Varying from a basketball size glowing red/orange orb to a small pea size white dot. It disappeared almost as quickly as it appeared. I have been fortunate and seen numerous UFO's and have been visited many times. There were 2 other witnesses who were chasing the orb also. It was their first sighting and they were stunned as they discussed what is wasn't.

Driving South on 32 towards 95, I saw a triangular-shaped object with rectangle shaped lights that blinked. Maybe two lights at the top, three at the bottom. It appeared, to be in one area, then appear further down diagonally towards the left then zip very fast behind me. I was driving so I was unable to turn around to see where it went. Definitely was not a US Air craft! It was very fast, and shortly afterwards I had no GPS signal.

3 bright white lights in vertical line apparently stationary in night sky then moving down seemingly towards ground - as we drove in direction of the lights they appeared to sink lower and eventually final light seemed to fly away and appeared to have additional flashing lights om sides, green and red.

Proceeded south and about 1/2 mile north of Battlefield I could see the shape was oval and 3 oscillating lights. (Not blinking lights as required by FAA. The craft was stationary and did not emanate any remarkable sounds. Other individuals were pulled over looking at the craft. Waiting to see if anyone else reports, or posts a video online.

East Peoria, IL
Traveling to work at about 7:08 AM on 74-E, between East Peoria and Morton, IL, I happened to notice an object in the sky. It appeared to be trapezoid shaped and barely moving, if moving at all, not far from almost directly above me and at about half the height the normal flying height of an airplane. It seemed aluminum silver in color and it was either angled so that it was catching a reflection from the morning sun or there was a light on 1/3 of the bottom of the craft. After first spotting something in the sky, I put on my glasses to get a better look to see if I could decipher what it was. Seeing that I still could not identify the object, I continued to watch it. It seemed to be stationary. I watched it for a few minutes, or at least the best as I could while driving, and it did not move. I approached a big green overhead highway sign which momentarily obscured my view. When I was able to see unobstructed again, which was a millisecond, the object was gone. I scanned the sky and found nothing. I hoped that a workmate traveling on the same route saw the same thing. After getting to work I approached the specific workmate and asked if he saw something strange in the sky. He looked at me surprised and relieved and told me that he had watched the same strange object in the sky until it disappeared suddenly and was hoping that someone else had seen it too so that he didn't seem crazy when he told his UFO account. I had hoped to see or hear something on the TV or radio, but didn't.

I was looking north from my back porch while smoking a cigarette right around midnight. I noticed a very bright light that I first thought was just a bright star. After comparing it to other stars, I could tell it was way too bright. I continued to watch and finally noticed that the object was moving. The first object moved to the east before it completely disappeared from sight. Intrigued I continued watching and yet another ascended from the same area. I started recording from my phone as more and more objects followed the same routine. All objects took different routes, going either east or west and then disappearing. If I had to guess I would say these were some type of military stealth aircraft or something. What I find strange though is that none of the airports in Louisville are north of Shelbyville road. The closest airport to the north is about 100 miles away. If these craft were to come from that far, their lights wouldn't be visible. In fact other passenger planes from Standiford Airport in Louisville were going over at the same time, and they were barely visible.

Right around 10:30pm the evening of December 20, 2016, I saw what looked like a bright, orange planet the size of Venus, just Northeast of Caph in Cassiopeia. I stared at it for about 30 seconds and I thought I perceived it to be moving--very slowly so I assumed it was an aircraft. I went inside to get my binoculars in the 45 seconds it took me to come back outside, the object had vanished. I stared at the spot where I had seen it and I noticed another object nearby, about the same size, only dim and fuzzy grey in color. It was moving quickly, roughly North to South trajectory, and disappeared from view within 30 seconds.
