Blueash, OH
I saw ball of light with small tail that does the yellow orange colored ball of light as it fell towards the ground it continually zigged and zagged at unnatural speeds left and right as it was falling, and right as it reached top of tree line it vanished almost like a flare or firework burning out but the way it zigged and zagged told me it was not a flare or firework!

Morehead City, NC
I am a 57 year old retired medical assistant. On 11-05-19...7:06 pm my neighbor (42 year old female) called asking me to go outside to see some strange orange lights in the sky. She said she had never seen anything like it before. I & my stepdaughter, age 17, went outside on my south facing 2nd floor porch. I'd say we were outside by 7:10 pm. At first we didn't see anything. There was the sound of a plane going over but not extremely loud & that soon passed. Approximately 5 min after we went out, my stepdaughter saw first, then I saw, 3 or 4 clear, bright, orange round balls of light in a cluster. They were at around 45° and in the southeast direction. They seemed close, though I'm unable to give any estimate of distance. They suddenly appeared and after no more than 5 seconds had all disappeared again. They seemed to disappear sequentially, not all at once. No sounds at all were heard at this time. I thought possibly flares, but, like I said, there was no ! sound of any planes or helicopters in the sky. And also, these seemed to be not far from me, in a very populated residential area. Why would anyone be dropping flares in such an area? We waited but didn't see any more balls of light. However, about 5 minutes later, we both saw just inside the bottom of a low cloud an oval appearing white light, much larger than the orange lights. It flashed on just once, for a few seconds, that we saw. It was mild with patchy clouds & light breeze that night. Although it has rained earlier in the day, there were no storms or lightning in the area. It made us wonder if the small orange lights could have been dropped from whatever the oval white light represented. I've never seen anything resembling this before.

11/5/19 flying from Miami to Chicago above the clouds. Looking north west I noticed two small round clouds that begin to move and morphed into two different short lines. One line disappeared. The remaining line started to extend into a geometric shape. I regret not taking pictures sooner but I thought the two were clouds. Hard for me to say what state it was over.

Long lane, MO
Was driving home towards the east . I looked up and saw what looked like a bar of Amber colored lights in the sky and as soon as I told my fiancee to look at it, it seemed like as soon as he made eye contact with it it dissapeared.

Stanley, ND
I seen about 75 lights appear in the sky heading in an East direction over about a 25 minute time span. Groups of 7 at a time. The appeared at a certain spot in the sky and kept coming out of it. I was able to view 1 cigar shaped craft with 2 lights on it. Several stopped in the sky and began moving again. Very scary. I thought we were being attacked.

Hope Mills, NC
I drive a route from Fayetteville, NC, to Florence, SC, starting at 2:30 AM, five days a week. When driving south on I95 at this time, I see shooting stars frequently, about 2 per week. One day I seen a shooting star when I was about near the Hope Mills area, before the St. Pauls exit. This was in the southeast sky, to my left as I was driving south. It was unusual this time because it suddenly changed direction, as if it had bounced off of a solid object in the atmosphere. I would guess the trajectory changed by about 65 degrees, bouncing back and changing its direction, while still descending. It was all pretty fast, about 5 seconds, and faded like shooting stars do eventually. I was driving and was not able to record anything. I have been thinking about it, and am finally reporting it because it is bothering me. Did it bounce off of something- and if so what? There was nothing subsequent to this, such as a plane crashing.

I did not see a craft but I witness a entity itself. I was not sure where to report it. The being was small, mabey 15in tall, and had a large egg shaped head. It's body was teardrop shaped and it's arms were skinny and long. It's feet were moving to fast to be any identifiable shape. It was glowing red. It ran past whilst I was driving my car past the dump.

Branford, CT
Seen from a vast open parking lot in the Western sky: A cylindrical, shiny object moving slowly and downward from the West, moving downward and North. It seemed to be slowly hovering and descending towards East Haven, CT. The cylindrical shape had 4 "spikes", two on a horizontal plane and two vertical (one vertical in the middle of the cylinder and one vertical at the end of the cylinder). One of the horizontal spikes had a blinking red light. It was buzzing faintly until it descended over the tree line.

Bridgeport, CT
I witnessed from the terrace of my apartment in Bridgeport, Connecticut, in the southern part of the sky a red ball about the size of a quarter of the moon that night fly from east to west at a downward trajectory from the top of the trees about the same height of the moon whiz at a high rate of speed downward and disappear. It was unlike anything I had ever seen and I am a constant watcher of the night skies. It lasted about seven seconds. Planes go by all the time and fly horizontally and look like specs. This was large, came out of nowhere almost as if it came from another dimension. It disappears out of my sight line and although I watched for a while longer did not reappear. I am sixty year old and not prone to fantasies. I love looking at constellations and planets. For instance I can see Orion and Jupiter from my terrace. I worked as an administrative assistant and taught children. I currently take care of my 82 year old mother. When I was young our school had a planetarium which started my fascination with the night sky.

Shelton, CT
Arrowhead shaped craft with unusual configuration of lights - POSSIBLY anomalous: Monday evening, approximately 6:15PM - full dark. Thin clouds, about 1,000 ft altitude. Was driving SW on Route 8, right-hand lane, toward Stratford, between exits 12 and 11 in Shelton. To my right (West), above tree line, about 45 degrees in night sky I noticed an approaching aircraft about a mile away (flying NE) that drew my attention because of its strangely pulsing array of lights (Yes, I frequently watch the skies. Am no aviation pro, but familiar enough with most of the steady air traffic in my vicinity, anti-collision and navigation lights, etc.). This aircraft looked to be traveling at an altitude of about 300 feet going NE, parallel to Route 8, above Route 714 (Bridgeport Avenue), in the vicinity of the shopping area there (and "Scinto-ville"). Very bright multiple pairs of red and green lights that did not strobe alternately, port-middle-starboard or vice-versa, per second, like most aircraft, but pulsed red-green simultaneously and much faster all about the surface of what seemed to be an arrowhead shaped craft. No, NOT a helicopter - I know Sikorsky is nearby. If it made any noise I could not hear it because windows were rolled and I was in moving vehicle heading in opposite direction. As we passed I slowed down somewhat, attempting to get a better look up through front window, but was unable to make out any fuselage or wings. Size was difficult to determine, but seemed larger than most private planes but smaller than most commercial planes. Therefore, I decided to get off at the next available exit, turn around and try to catch up to it. Doing so only trapped me in routine after-work traffic back-up.

I went outside to bring my dog to the bathroom and there was 1 flash of white in the sky. I thought it was lightning but it didn't happen again and it wasn't hot out so it couldn't have been heat lightning.

4 round looking lights, flashing multiple colors, all very low. They were in a vertical line, not moving besides the flashing. The top one started to move away but would come back in line. They stayed there for a couple hours.

Utah, UT
My family flew across the country from a family member’s wedding yesterday. While we were flying above Utah, around 40,000 to 50,000 ft in altitude, we saw a white oval shaped craft flying in the opposing direction of the plane. It was traveling at the same altitude and was moving rather fast. It was also emitting red/purpleish fumes from it’s rear, something I have never seen before. It was very surprising. I took my phone out to take a video but did not do this in time. This occured around 4:05 NDT. We also saw two jets traveling in the same direction of the craft later on at high speeds. We saw the first jet around 4:12 NDT and the second around 4:54 NDT. This specifically occured as the commercial flight was above central/southwest Utah. In regards to the craft, it was extremely close to the plane, which is surprising as known flying vehicles would never be allowed to be that close to a commercial airplane. The shape and appearance of the craft differed ! entirely from anything I have seen before. It was a white pill shaped craft with no noticeable wings, exhausts, or external features that I could see. As far as size, I am uncertain. Obviously it looked pretty small from the window of the airplane as my eyes perceived it. I think it was a pretty big craft though because the jets that followed were of similar size from the perspective of the plane. This was a very shocking event for both my mother and I, who observed the craft and the subsequent jets. I will be reporting this event to as many organizations and entities as possible. Thank You.

Grandhaven, MI
I was going to Grand Haven from Muskegon and I was in the passenger seat and I seen something at first it was over the water and it looked like a drone then I was looking for it and it was above the bridge and I looked up and it looked like a plane but it was staying in one spot. Then we came to the traffic light and we stopped at Advance auto parts then the "thing" moved all the way by Like Michigan create unoin and Grand Valley Marina. And then it just zipped off. That's what I've seen I dont know if anyone else seen it but I had to report it.

Cotter, AR
I was sitting in my living room and noticed a glowing orange sphere out my front door in the sky. It approached from the east and seemed between 2,000-3,000 ft in the air and moved in a straight line at a relatively slow speed, stopped and hovered then left towards the north at an unbelievably high rate of speed, basically vanished! There was no sound whatsoever. It lasted about 3 minutes.

At night, this light formation flew across the sky, across the marina parking lot and towards the water, a height that was above the lampposts, at an even pace for about 30 seconds until it faded away, It looked lifelike except that all you could see was light and shadow in a stripped pattern. It was shaped like big bird wings, but bigger than any bird I’ve ever seen on Long Island. The way it moved was bird like too, but slower, and wavelike, almost like a swimming motion. It was not easily visible, it was almost camouflaged by night, the dim striped lights exposed it. When I first saw the wavelike light formation. I tried to make sense of it, maybe it is a bird, white with shadows but it just didn’t make sense, how is the light so perfectly striped across this wing like formation. the only other light around were lamppost, they wouldn’t have that effect. Also I should be able to see, know and recognize a bird, it wasn’t that far away from me, and I was focusing on it for half a minute until It eventually faded with some distance. The things that were obvious includes the stripped light, the slow/even wave like motion, and bigger than a seagull. it’s something I’ve never seen before, something I was surprised, confused by immediately, and tried but couldn’t make sense out of.

10/03/2019 Just after dusk I was sitting on my patio looking up at the sky and the airplanes crossing it. I noticed one aircraft moving from East to West which is common to see. It appeared to be at what can described as a normal altitude and speed. I noticed a very bright white light somewhat like a bright star, however it was travelling from the North to the South quite rapidly and looked to be at an extreme altitude. I thought that seemed out of the norm moving from that direction, and I continued to watch. The object was moving several times faster than the commercial airliners. I thought it might be a satellite or the space station and I continued to watch it move towards the South. After approximately 45 seconds or so the object turned to the West at a 90 degree angle without appearing to change its speed. I still watched the object for a few additional seconds until it disappeared from view. I have no true idea of what it was and I do not recall ever seeing something like that. I felt uneasy and the hair stood up on my arms. I went inside to tell my wife what I had just seen and she asked me if I was alright since I had a strange look on my face. Again, no idea what it was, but it was not what I would consider to be a normal experience.
