Singular orange/red orb moved across ocean sky. Came to complete stop and then split into two orbs. Stayed suspended without moving for 5 minutes. The orbs then split into two more, total of four. The first two disappeared. Two minutes later another one split out of the second two. Five minutes later they all faded.

I went out on my deck to bring my dog inside because she was barking. While waiting for her, I looked up at the clear night sky. I noticed two objects with blinking lights, and watched them for a while because they moved together at the same speed, in the same direction, which I had never seen before. They were higher than the commercial flight planes, but not as high as satellites. After the closest one started to move out of view, I noticed two small white (like stars) lights moving much higher in the sky. They made 2-3 tight circles around each other, and then moved in unison along the same plane, in opposite directions. The farthest one faded out of view, but closest one appeared to become stationary, like a star, and didn't move again for as long as I watched. I am a recently retired nurse, and have never seen anything in the skies like it before. It was the circling of the two lights and the fast and uniform movement in opposite directions that made me want to report it.

While driving I witnessed four blinking lights hovering almost still in the air. Some of the smaller ones would only move at a very slow speed to the sides one of them moved higher, but the bigger one would stand still. A few of the small ones disappeared and reappeared at times. Once I got on the highway I was able see them more clearly only this time they appeared to be bigger and in a sphere shape. They were lined up with with some distance next to each other and 2 or three more higher on top. In total 7-8 of them. Airplanes were flying near by and the difference was clear. I was able to get a video of the first time I spotted them but not as I was driving in the highway. As there was a lot of traffic.

I was out mowing lawn and stopped to talk to the neighbor. A storm was rolling in and the cloud were moving quite fast. We both happened to look up and seen an oval object in a small part of the blue sky that was remaining. It was light colored and had a bright light in the center of the bottom of the object. With the clouds moving so fast, it just sat there.

On the 25.09.2019 at 14:30 My Wife and I were driving from Coke City/MT towards Yellow Stone on High Way 212. As the road was long and straight, I asked my Wife to take a photo of the long straight road ahead. On the Sunday 10.11.2019, around 15:00 c.e.t. we were processing our photos to decide which ones to include in our holiday album, which we noticed a dark object in one of the photos. When compared with the second photo of the same view and taken only a few seconds after, the flying object had vanished. The object seen was dark, long in shape, but had an aerodynamic shape overall. The flying object is seen above a mountain ridge, which is covered in some pine trees but there also bare rock. The road is straight with Pine trees on each side. There is a pick up ahead of our vehicle, which travels a short distance between the time the first and second photo was taken. The flying object is definitely not a conventional aircraft(Helicopter or plane). Is not a smudge or dirt on the car windscreen.

Hope, NM
Initially spotted one orangish in glow, round in shape, light in the sky. What caught my eye was how close it was to another light. Thought it was two planes too close together but noticed there was no blinking of the lights and that the two orbs sat directly horizontal of each other. The second orb zoomed down and to the left of the main orb and hovered for about 4 seconds. Then 3 more orbs dispersed from the main orb like a fighter plane does when dispelling decoy flares. The 3 orbs stopped in alignment with the second orb and they created the outline of a oval like shape in the sky. All orbs were orange in color, unmoving, and unblinking. After about 5 seconds, ALL orbs retreated back to the main orb. I looked away for half a second, and it was gone. Super spooky.

Looking at the sky this morning. To the right of the Orion Constellation. I viewed to very bright star like objects which I had not observed the previous morning. I was intrigued so continued to observe. The objects started to fade from view, but it was not due to any clouds. I am an amateur astronomer, so I know my way around the sky.

Red Lodge, MT
To the south of Red Lodge, toward Cody, Wyoming, a bright multi-colored light (or lights) was stationary in the sky with no sound. It was much brighter than the stars. I have seen meteors before, this didn't move at all.

There were 6 silver objects flying off in the distance in zig zags and other particular patterns that no regular aircraft could do. I was able to get pictures of these 6 flying objects and it shows the shape of them and edge of the craft. The moon was able to beam off of the flying objects which is why they where easy to spot. The flying objects looked to be in a specific tear drop or almost circular pattern.

At 04:00 I woke up and went on our back porch i looked up and saw a light flashing purple yellow red all sorts of colors. I work up my girlfriend who came out and also witnessed this. The object moved in a semi circle away from us and was stationary for over an hour. We both have video of it. It reappeared 2 nights later at the same time. We also have vido of that.

Council Bluffs (outside of), IA
My Son and Myself had taken His Son to Sioux Falls South Dakota on 9/24/2019. On the way back at 10:34 PM exactly 63 miles from Council Bluffs, Iowa and Omaha Ne..we saw ahead a Blinking Strobe Light in the distance ahead. We looked at each other and said almost simultaneously. What Is That? It did not appear to be moving.It Kept Strobing with a Very Bright Light. As we came near it some miles ahead, We approached the object, it did not appear to be moving, just Strobing, Brightly on and off. As we Finally met up with it, which was about m7 minutes. it was next to us, across the Field next to the interstate, with not a car in sight, and Black as can be. It was just Strobing above the Middle of this, what seemed like a Field about 500 feet above, Quietly. I looked for a Pole or some sort of Ground Support, and there was None! as we passed it I did not Notice any Red warning Lights for Aircraft. We Kept Vocal about how strange this was. Then as we passed it above ! what seemed like an empty field,it Just Disappeared!I Finally had a witness as I have seen the same entity before, but don't tell everybody. It seems best to keep it to yourself. I would have not said anything, except that my son was with me, a NO Nonsense kind of guy,

Growing up on military bases and relocating from a very large military community in VA I would know how to recognize the sounds of military aircraft. I do believe the second craft was a man made craft although I could hear no sound. There tends to be a lot of activity in my area. I just discovered this reporting page today. I will keep you posted.

Daughter and I we’re driving home about 10pm south of Maricopa. In the S/SE Sky was a fireball that split into 2 fireballs, then split into 3 fireballs. They were in a horizontal line then just went out.

Silent/smooth/glide flight. V shaped, transparent. Lights on it looked like it was a small cluster of dimmed starts in a v shape. We had Clear star sky. Heading west to east towards Atlantic Ocean. Only saw the shape/outline of the craft because it was reflecting off the ground lights. Thats how I figured out it was in a v shape. I was in disbelief. Thats why I'm here looking for more witnesses

Tucson, AZ
On my way home just passing the casino del sol, I noticed 2 egg shaped lights faded on and off next to each other. Then Maybe like half a second later, both lights were separated so far apart. One light faded off and stayed off. The other faded on and off 2 more times and finally faded off completely.

Hilton Head, SC
My family visits Hilton Head for a week every September. Two years ago my brother and I were fishing the surf after dark when we noticed very strange lights in the sky. Here is the link to that report: http://www.nuforc.org/webreports/136/S136513.html After reporting what we saw to NUFORC two years ago, we realized that the amount of orange light sightings off the coast of SC is stunning, so we knew that our chances were fair to possibly see them again. So during our 2018 beach trip we went out to the beach for a bit a few different nights… but we didn't see anything, so this year we returned with the idea to hike out to the beach consistently each night, set up our chairs, and look for anything strange from 7:30pm - 10:00pm. Saturday, Sunday, and Monday nights we saw nothing. But on Tuesday night at 7:53pm we saw the start of an amazing display! My father, brother, sister in-law and myself were all at the beach when all of a sudden two bright orange lights appeared approximately 1-2 miles up the coast, seemingly over the beach itself... maybe even over a nearby hotel. It's hard to approximate their altitude, but they couldn't have been more than a thousand feet off the ground. The light on top was larger and brighter, while the one below it was smaller and more faint, but both were clearly visible. When we noticed them they were already visible, so we didn't see how they appeared. They did not move in any direction. We watched them for about 20-30 seconds, before the larger and brighter one slowly faded out, immediately followed by the smaller light fading out as well. The entire time they were visible they made no sound, and there was no smoke in the sky. All 4 of us saw the lights, and everyone was so excited. In 2017 my brother and myself were the only ones on the beach when the lights appeared, so having the validation of two more adults in our family seeing the lights was great. We kept a watch out for more, but after about 30 minutes or so my dad and sister in law decided to head back to the house. However, my brother and I stayed. Shortly after they left, we noticed that two fighter jets flew over the coast at a very low altitude and speed. One had what seemed to be normal lights on, while the other had only a couple very minimal green lights and was very hard to see. It was too dark to see what they were exactly, but they were most like FA-18's from the nearby Marine Corp Air Station in Beaufort, SC. They were extremely loud, in star contrast to the silent orange lights we had seen. These were the only such planes we saw the entire week, so we though it was worth noting since it was about 30 mins after the lights appeared. Then, at 8:47pm, almost 50 minutes after we initially saw the two orange lights to the north, things got really interesting out over the water. Straight out and slightly to the south from where we were sitting, orange lights began fading in and out for short periods of time. It's hard to say how far apart they were (they were further away from us than the first lights). There could have easily been miles of space between the individual lights at times, and other times they appeared close to each other. Between 8:47 and 8:57 these lights turned on and off (always gradually fading in and out) at in different places out over the ocean. At first they were not moving, but completely stationary. Then, we saw one moving south. It faded in, stayed lit momentarily, then started to fade out again. But as one light disappeared, a previously unseen sphere positioned next to it lit up. Then when that light faded out, one next to it faded in. The lights turned on and off down the line a t! otal of six times, then the last one faded out. It was as if a straight line formation of 6 objects was traveling south at the same speed and lighting up one at a time in from east to west. After that one or two more lights faded in and disappeared here and there for a minute or two, but that was all we saw that evening, and we didn’t see anything else every following night for the rest of the week. These were the exact same lights we had seen two years ago. How are these appearing with such predictability and frequency and yet nobody is talking about it? Whatever is out there, it's an amazing thing to behold, and it was a treat to get a glimpse at the lights again! Unfortunately I couldn't get my phone to focus on the lights because it was so dark on the beach. However, I made some animations which I'm submitting to NUFORC to show what we saw. The positions and time of appearance are approximate of course, but these animations accurately convey what we saw looking out over the waves.
