so my husband was out having a cigarette and called me out to look at the weird lights above the tree line. bright lights one at a time about 15 seconds apart. they were in a horizontal line. they got to a certain point and just disappeared. They must've been very high as they appeared as really small dots. so weird. one just drifting across the sky in a straight line followed by another followed by another etc there were 11 total. it lasted about 3 minutes. I called my daughter and she said spacex was supposed to launch satellites. so I went in and checked and they were supposed to launch in a couple of days this was the 14th . very odd indeed.

t walking the dog with my daughter at about 8 PM when we noticed a light moving across the sky. It came into vision on the west horizon at approximately the cross at Mt Lindo (the big white cross lights on the mountains) from our location. It moved up into the sky, moving southwest to northeast in a trajectory between the cross and whatever planet was bright and about 30° above the horizon at the time. It wasn't as bright as the planet and had a similar appearance to a satellite in the atmosphere. It caught our attention because it moved much faster than a satellite or an airplane, was either far to small or high to be an airplane, and it made no noise. When we lost site of the first light, qe noticed another emerging on the horizon from the same place, on the same path. When we lost site or the second, a third appeared. Came up from the same place, on the same path. Scattered thin clouds moving through at the time began to make it more difficult to continually track the lights, but over the course of about an hour we watched as many as nine lights. During the same time, planes traveled through and were easily distinguishable from these lights. The only thing I could compare what we witnessed to would be missiles or rockets. I've lived in this area for a very long time and am quite familiar with how air traffic moves through our airspace, at high altitudes and lower elevations. Aircraft in this area NEVER follow the same flight path so closely with the exception of either taking off or landing.

It wasn’t in a real hurry, just going at a steady pace. I saw some kind of a red square or something on the side, at the front with some kind of thing sticking out like a flagpole or something rotating so fast it was blurred. Though it made no sound, I thought the craft might be a drone or something, it was heading right towards NASA in Hampton Virginia, which is a straight shot from my backyard 15 minutes away by car,. I ran back into the office and told my husband, he was standing right in there, to come out and look ...he looked at me like I was crazy for a second but then he came right out by that time he saw it from the back, but he definately saw it. I’ve been looking up different aircraft, trying to find something like it ever since and I can’t find anything.

East Chicago, IN
This object was seen headed North from the southern tip of lake Michigan in the city of east chicago indiana.It was about 2:00 p.m. central time when I sotted it heading straight north while I was on the beach with my friends. It looked like a black bullet. This was observed on a bright but semi cloudy day but this object was very visable and distinct .I have also witness with a friend some orange lit object three on each side in a wing formation near gary airport close to the first sighting. that was in around feb. 2012. That was seen at night.

Black object very high in the sky. Looked like it was a balloon or possibly 2 balloons. Looked very similar to a giant plastic bag flying ar wind speed. Flying higher than jets usually fly in this area. My friend first noticed it, then he pointed it out to me. We watched it for about 20 minutes then I had to leave.

Kihei, HI
A strange amber orange glow suddenly lit up behind the tree in the neighbor's yard, catching my eye. I immediately sat up to get a better look, watched it drop down as if out of the atmosphere, before taking a sharp curve to the right heading east across the sky, bobbing slightly. It moved faster than the planes that land, and was gone out of sight in mere seconds. 30 mins later an airplane passed through my windows view, much slower with blinking white lights, heading the same direction.

Bayville, NJ
Elongated flickering light with some blue in it hovering in place then at times jutting quickly side to side. As it was jutting streams of aurora lights beamed downwards. It was to the east an most likely hovering over the bay. I watched it for 3 hours then went inside. It was still in sky when I went in and at that point the beaming aurora lights stopped.

Latrobe, PA
Driving home with my wife when we both saw a white circle appear moving quickly across the sky in front of us. It was definitely high in the atmosphere. Same color/shape as a satellite, but very large compared to any I have seen before, including the ISS. It was too slow to be a shooting star but too fast to be a satellite. Object then stopped abruptly and "hovered" in place for roughly 5-7 seconds before blinking then rapidly accelerating away. About 3 seconds after it disappeared an aircraft flew the same exact route as the light as if it was following it.

Woke up at quarter or so after midnight to use bathroom. Back in bed curtain to window was open and a weird twinkle in sky caught might eye. Immediately got a feeling of strangeness and got up to look: thought these were bright stars or satellites, but they kept blipping then moving back and forth quickly with very tiny lights that would flash next to them. Would also move up and down. I watched for a few minutes to make sure what I saw was not aircraft or tricks on my eyes. Definitely ufo of some kind. The light they emitted was strange, like a star but would almost go a dark blue opalescent but I could see it against the blackness of the dark sky. Two craft but I might have seen 3. To be honest I lost interest because it was unique but no one else to share experience. But still in my mind I figured I would report. South west direction, mid to low in sky. Too bright to be stars that would be there, I know the night sky well and I’ve never seen bright stars! in that area of sky. Not to mention moving back and forth and overall strange feeling it gave me that this was not normal.

My brother and I were standing in front of the house at 9:45 pm. we looked up and saw bright white spheres flying across the sky at a high rate of speed there were ten of them equally separated approximately 500 miles apart. the sphere where all the same sizes flying the same speed. the sighting lasted 15 minutes.

I was passing over the train tacks just outside my town when I saw what I figured to be a plane fly pretty fast and low overhead. It had no wings, it had what looked like red arrows lighting up along the bottom of the craft, they’d light from the back and move towards the front and continue in this pattern. It was shaped like a flat cigar with both the front and back being rounded the same. It came from the East and kept going west. It made no noise as it moved across the sky. It continued until it disappeared behind the tree line. I’ve never seen anything like it. Seemed like it was the size of seve ral plane cabins side by side. It was the same color as the night sky like a dark blueish black. I didn’t h

Grass Lake, MI
My children thought a drone was following so my friend and I went to check it out and there were 8-10 objects flying over the tree line. They would sit in one spot then zig zag all over. Lights were red and white. One shot straight up and disappeared after hovering in the same spot for a few minute. They were not in a single form line but at one point they all lined up but with a big distance between them.

Went outside on the porch to smoke a cigarette looked up into the sky. And there I saw a white flash. Too big for a shooting star. Disappeared into the cloudy sky. I do not do drugs nor a drinker.

Roseburg, OR
All I saw was a reflective, curved surface that seemed that seemed to reflect the clouds and sky, like a mirrored curved surface. Like a cloaked/invisible object that you can only see light reflecting off of it. It wasn't moving. It was just sitting in one spot. I was driving for work so I didn't get out and record it. It seemed to disappear and reappear over the 1 to 2 mins I did see it. I wonder if anyone else saw it, because it was very eye catching and strange.

Mt. Juliet, TN
I was driving down an old country road and at first saw a flying object that I thought was a plane. I thought to myself that it was flying awfully low to be a plane and began to slow down while simultaneously muting my car stereo. When I slowed down the "plane" slowed down and I began to think that the aircraft resembled a drone more than a plane so I stopped completely so I could get a better look at the aircraft. When I stopped the aircraft stopped. It was around 100 feet from me and probably around 50 feet in the air. (It was hovering over a horse farm pasture). I quickly realized that this was not a drone nor was it an airplane. I stared straight at an aircraft that's shape could best be described as a symmetrical cross laid horizontally. It had dots of light that were more warm white on the bottom and orange and blue-ish purple on the top. The blue-ish purple lights were in the middle and the orange were more on the "wings"/"str! etch" of the cross. I quickly drove off because the encounter frightened me and I looked back a few seconds later and the aircraft was gone. The aircraft was too big to be a drone but too small to be a plane.

So I’m on my nightly walk like I always take and up in the sky I see two balls of Fire fly across the sky and disappear behind the clouds. They were moving too slow to be shooting stars and they had no flashing hazard beacons so they were no aircraft

Bakersfield, CA
On the night in question, my friend and I went to his backyard so he could have a smoke. As we walked out, I immediately noticed a light in the northwestern sky that was very unusual. It was in a northwest direction (looking towards Buttonwillow and maybe even towards highway 41) from where we were standing, approx. 15-45 miles away. At first glance, it had an orange-like light. After a few minutes, the orange went away and what looked to be two red lights appeared in its place. There was also a white light clustered just beneath these two red lights. As we were watching this, I attempted to take my phone out to take a picture, but it suddenly disappeared from the horizon. Within a few seconds, it reappeared. It did this one or two more times before it faded out, but very, very slowly. Also, this was very low on the horizon.

Council Grove, KS
I was sitting on my couch chatting on messenger, and my curtains were moved to the side because my cat had been playing in the window. I looked out the window because I am facing the window and saw a flashlight red and bluish green light. There was no sound outside at all. I watched the flashing lights curiously. I saw the blue light disappear and then the rest light hovered, got a little brighter then went sideways in the sky. These lights were low in the sky. Then they disappeared. I got up and looked out and saw nothing. Still no sound in the sky. I closed my curtains, feeling a little freaked out.

Columbia, MO
I was looking up at the night sky on a clear night, around 9PM, March 12. I was staring at Orion's belt. Between the stars "Meissa" and "Betelgeuse" I saw a bright white light. I would say it quickly appeared like within 1 second, but it was not instantaneous. It was a constant white light that did not flicker or distort in any way, and was about twice the size of the nearby stars. It then moved between those 2 stars from right to left (west to east) within 2.5-3 seconds and then faded out as quickly as it had appeared. It had no trail or anything typical of a "shooting star."

This continued long enough for me to run into the house and grab my girl and her nephew to come look, and they confirmed that it was definitely in the sky and strange. A few minutes go by and it looked like another light came up on it fast, they converged on each other, and headed downward at an angle towards the ground and they fell out of sight behind the mountain. They fell from the sky FAST! I have not seen anything since, and my eyes have been glued to the sky!

Eagle River, AK
Saw two circle shape objects flying near each other. They were the bright and burning yellow. First noticed them as we have lots of aircraft here in Alaska. These were not aircraft in my opinion. The flying was not streamline it was all over kind of darting around. After it dawned on me it was not aircraft I ran inside and two other people came out and saw the tail end of what I saw. One was left and the bright burning turned to a wheel with spots on it then disappeared. The was they flew was like a darting vibrating pattern. I did capture a short video of it.
