North Myrtle Beach, SC
April 17, 2019 about 10:15pm I walked from our hotel to the beach and began to observe 3 orange lights hovering over the ocean close to the shore, almost directly in front of me. The lights would tend to turn on/off 1 at a time, were perfectly spaced out between each other and in a perfectly straight line. The lights would fade when they went out. I then noticed 1 orange light much further down the beach that was turning on and off at the same time the 3 orange lights were turning on and off - looked to be communicating with each other. Saw this happen 3 different times with the lights going out for a minute or 2 before doing the on and off sequence again. Saw the lights appear slightly further down the beach the 3rd time indicating it moved while the lights were out.. The last time I saw the lights they appeared much further out into the ocean far away from the beach which indicated to me it had left the area. There were never any sounds coming from the lights, just hovering perfectly still. Because this was against the black sky, it was hard to tell what was around the lights. At one point, I felt I saw an outline of an object. Here is a link to a video that another person posted from that evening - this is the UFO that I saw and I can say is a legit video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJd2j3IzzAs My view of the object was much better than what is in this video, I was on the beach and in front of the object that was out just a bit over the ocean.

There were 3 objects in the sky that were spaced apart and they were all changing colors and shape. They were not drones because they were in the sky for at least 30 minutes, maybe longer. It was a clear night so my mom and I could see them very well, we could see a lot of stars. I know they weren’t stars because the changing colors and shape. Possible "twinkling" stars?? PD

Three orange red orbs were floating in the sky. Not flying. Floating. I first though I was seeing flares from a boat but they didn’t fade or drop to the water. After a couple minutes, the three orbs just disappeared. A couple minutes later, 2 orbs reappeared. They disappeared seconds after appearing. My son and I both witnessed this while sitting on the beach at night.

I was driving from West to East toward the ocean on my way home when I saw three orange lights in a straight horizontal line hovering which seemed to be over the ocean. They slowly faded out one by one and then I saw them again a couple miles to the south just as they were disappearing again. I had seen this same thing about 10 years ago while I was walking on the beach at night with my mom. Same place.

All of a sudden I shouted "WOAH!" at which point he stated, "I saw that too!" Which really shocked and excited me that he did, because I am usually alone when I see strange things in the sky, or people I am with just don't ever see what I do, most likely because they aren't paying attention, and as for me, my eyes are always in the sky! Even this time my friend wasn't really paying attention and kept looking at his phone but this object was so bright and low to the ground that it caught his eye. I'd say it was at around the hight of the Mall of America. Which would be illegally low for a plane to be flying. The object made no noise at all and I'm not sure how to explain the shape of it with one word but it looked semi-long, cylinder shaped with round edges in the front and back. Idk if you call that cigar shaped or what. It was VERY bright and glowing a neon green and blue-ish like meshing together. Looked like something that glows in the dark but brighter than any glow in the dark toy thing I've ever seen. It was traveling north, the same direction I was and it came about very fast, seemingly out of no where. It was like its cloaking mode malfunctioned or noticed we saw them at which point it did not get far at all ahead of my car before it just vanished right in front of us, just dissapeared so I don't mean it vanished out of view. It just plain old vanished right before our eyes! About a month after that event, I saw the same exact looking object do the very same thing, and also not too far away from the first time, but I was driving alone. So a few weeks go by and just last night I was at work (which is with-in just a few miles of the other events) and I hear my co worker talking to someone explaining what she had seen fly right above her while she was standing outside our work having a smoke and that the thing had vanished right before her eyes, right before looking like it was going to fly right into these apartments, and she described it looking exactly as what my friend and I saw. So needless to say I hopped in that conversation real quick haha. These 3 events all happened in the same area within 5 miles of eachother. It is right near the Minneapolis-St Paul airport but we know what planes look like and this thing was most definetely no plane I have ever seen. I'm sure I will see it again sometime. I also take lots of videos of the sky because i tend to see things quite often and I have a couple still images from different videos of something no one can tell what it is. I may post them.

Leaving Home Depot on Cropsey Avenue near Coney Island my partner and I saw and orangish light blob flying toward our direction, it went into the clouds and disappeared. We got into the car and a minute later saw another one fly by (not at tremendous speed). The third one approached a minute after the second one. By this time I was able to get my I phone out of my bag and take a video of it as I jumped out of the car to not have anything impede the video. This third object also orangish in color, disappeared into the night sky. Upon looking at the video you can see a line of faint white lights hovering above this light form. We are both educated retired professionals. I posted the video to my Instagram page.

What we saw and for how long: We both saw five goldish looking lights, about 40 degrees above the horizon lined up horizontally but tilted slightly, The left most light was significantly brighter (about as bright as a car headlight from a quarter mile away) than the others. The distance was hard to judge but I would guess between 2 and 3 miles. They appeared to be drifting slowly to the west (left) and all of a sudden they just disappeared, as if a light switch was turned off. We saw these lights for about 10 seconds before they disappeared. What we didn’t see: We didn’t see the lights appear, other than when we noticed them, so we can’t vouch for how long they were visible. We did not see a craft or crafts that may have been emitting the light. There were no blinking lights associated with them, as seen on normal aircraft; in fact as we continued to drive north, about a mile and a half past the original sighting, we did not see any aircraft in the area at all. The lights did not behave like fireworks, military aircraft flairs, drones or shooting stars, all of which we have seen many times. About us: I am an Engineering Technician/Metrologist and my wife is a teacher. We are both sky watchers and have witnessed many unusual things in both the daylight and night skies. We both try to think of logical explanations for anything that we experience but we can’t explain what we saw.

Moments after the last one disappeared, we saw one less illuminated, take off North at an incredible speed. Much faster than ANYTHING I have ever seen. That was it, happened approximately over a 15-20 second period. Ironically, as we drove away, there were LOTS of planes flying in many different directions no different than any other night or day. NONE of which were near this event at the time it occured.

While sitting in the jacuzzi on a very clear night with the jets of the spa on, facing north, three orange-red glowing egg shaped orbs appeared. They were not clear, but as if you were looking through water or a haze, very dimly lit and blurry. They moved slowly from east to west changing positions (not staying in a uniform pattern, but staying close together). Then they headed north and slowly disappeared. I could not tell if the produced any sounds due to the spa being on. Total time was about 30 seconds.

I was taking pictures of crazy looking clouds and an airplane. I kept seeing dark shapes behind the clouds. When reviewing pictures i saw i got pictures of more than one black triangle.

Ballston Lake, NY
I was walking my dog and looked up, a "tic-tac" white craft was floating southwest of my location, completely silent. It looked as if there might have been windows? I grabbed my phone quick to record it as it was floating away from my location, however the sun was very bright at this time so I had a hard time seeing the screen, but DID record the location of the craft. When I returned home there was absolutely NOTHING recorded but an empty sky and I am completely baffled. I know what I saw and it was definitely there.

Saw an object that looked strange flying across the sky while waiting at a stop light. I snapped a few quick pictures while also watching the street light. I tried to turn around and take more pictures, but the object was gone. When I looked at my pictures, in addition to the object I saw, there were 2 other white balls higher up in the sky.

Came up from above the treeline on my way to school. It was extremely bright, almost like a star. I couldn't really tell the shape because it was too bright. It was just a white light, no red blue or green. Me and my brother at first thought it was an airplane, until it quickly disappeared into the clouds.

A large bright green orb with flashs of blue appeared out of no where. Making no sound at all. And shot across the sky in a downward angle at a high rate of speed toward the east and just disappeared.

White Post, VA
At 23:01 on Tuesday, April 16th, 2019, a brightly lit, green object was witnessed by this author moving rapidly from the eastern sky toward the south, dropping at approximately 45 degrees throughout the duration of said object's flight, as if it were landing. The object, which was triangular in shape, specifically scaline, with the longest edge facing the sky, was illuminated with a green light, and it appeared the whole craft was lit, rather than having any artificial lighting. Furthermore, there was a long, orange trail that dragged behind the object, which was noticeable also throughout the visual until the object disappeared behind the tree line.

Twin Falls, ID
I decided to pull over and snap a picture before I could do so, the cluster of lights in round or disk figure brightened and then disappeared. I watched the sky in shock when another brightening figure appeared, only this time there was a red glow that appeared on the center bottom of the disk like figure. I don’t know how I managed this, but I caught it on camera, one picture, one set of eyes, one crazy experience. The photo is unedited and the only photo that was captured.

Virginia Beach, VA
I just exited 64 west highway in va beach, onto Northampton Blvd. As I was at the intersection of diamond springs, I noticed an object falling from the sky. It was coming from the direction of Norfolk international airport and passing over east little creak naval expiditiary base and disappearing over shore dr area chicks beach. It scared me it either look like a giant meteorite resend and disappearing but it really appeared to be some of plane that looked like it just took off from airport and burst into large fireball and was breaking apart as it disappeared while crashing in the distance. I have never seen anything like this ever and it scared me that I couldn’t find anything on local news about what happened. Yes I was sober and would not make this up. Others must have seen this, it was massive and disappeared after about 10 to 15 seconds.

Macomb, IL
A light would appear, followed by one or more lights slightly in front of it which sometimes looked like fireworks or some kind of explosion, and the first light would disappear. There were two sets of these. This continued across the sky for at least 2 minutes before disappearing completely. There was no noise from it.

Red and white lights off in the distance looked to be parts of 2 or 3 flying objects, at least one of which was rotating somewhat slowly. The lights disappeared and then reappeared, eventually disappearing over some trees from our front porch view point. I tried to get some video, but it was dark and it doesn't show much. Not sure what it was, but we've never seen anything quite like this before. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
