Cotati, CA
At 5:41pm my mom called me and told me to look out my back window, which faces West. She was at the Costco in Rohnert Park and said there was a strange jet-stream in the sky that was glowing brightly. The sun had already set and when I looked out the window, I was shocked by how bright this was. It looked like a lasso in the sky. The oval was on the top right and it trailed down to the left. It slowly faded over 5-10 minutes. After looking online I found this was identical to the lights seen over Reno, NV, at the same time. However, I am in Cotati (very close to the coast - maybe 30 minutes) and I was also looking West towards the coastline. Source of report indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Poway, CA
A cylindrical shaped very shiny metallic object moved South very slowly but at considerable altitude. I thought it was a jet, but it moved way too slowly, no contrail or sound. It moved around and wouldn’t be seen, then shift positions again revealing a cylindrical shaped object without wings or a tail. Finally after approximately 20 minutes it disappeared, not being seen again.

Nearest airport is small and would not have airplanes of this size. If it was a bigger plane heading to the biggest airport in the area, it was heading far more east than the airport. Too fast for a drone or helicopter. We opened the car window, if it was a plane or helicopter we would be able to hear it. But it was quiet. Also, it was flying really low. We saw it for about twenty seconds before it flew out of sight.

Windsor, CT
6:00 a.m. eastern sky, watched what appeared to be a drone? but the bright white light was far too bright and high in sky. At first notice, was well above tree line then it started climbing in elevation straight up into sky. I researched information online on what it could be, could be a comet. I do not believe it is extraterrestrial. Venus and Mercury converge on this day, but movement is unlike planetary orbit.

Corkscrew sort of smoke heading downward but at a slow speed and pausing. It was evening and the smoke/ cloud seemed to be very bright and illuminating it's trail above. Clearly it represented a "?" (In that"?" form) precisely when it was over.

I am aware that there were several reports of a comet being seen on this same day, but those sightings were seen in the evening of 12/19/2018 and my sighting was in the early morning on this day.

Potentially the object could have been a meteor, however its size was massive. If I held my hand out straight, the objects size would have been the thickness in my thumb.

St. Augustine, FL
A bright white light flashed across the sky and immediately after a glowing green light began hovering directly under the flash. The green light then proceeded to float across the sky and vanished into the distance. The light was moving at a moderate speed and was visible for 6-7 seconds. Witness provides no contact information. PD

Oak Island, NC
I knocked on the window and my husband came outside and watched with me. We saw as many as ten of these lights at any given time and they would sometimes blink, sometimes the light would be steady and then they would just disappear. The ocean was very calm and we would have been able to hear jet sounds, but there were none. After a few minutes of this, we saw a very bright orange light appear, which hovered for several seconds before disappearing. This happened about 3 more times, all the while the white lights were continuing to blink and jump around. We then heard a loud rumble like a fighter jet and after that that it was quiet again and all the lights seemed to cease. This event lasted about 15 minutes. We went back inside, but after about 10 minutes I went back out to look again. I began seeing the blinking white lights again, and occasionally heard the jet sounds. My husband came back out and again we saw the orange lights only this time multiple appeared at one time and one of them split into about six lights in a straight line at an angle. This happened two more times, after which the white lights had moved further away and to the west before disappearing altogether. This second event lasted about 10 minutes. I would like to note that we have seen this same phenomenon, or parts of it, on several occasions from this same location. I would really like to know what it is we’re seeing.

Cicero, IN
While driving on St. Rd 19 in Cicero, Indiana, I noticed an extremely bright oval shape in the sky. It was just hovering from the time I noticed it for about a minute. It then moved to the west before rapidly becoming a pinpoint and disappeared. The brightness never changed, just the size of the object until I couldn't see it. From the time the object moved until I couldn't see it anymore was a couple of seconds.

Mountain View, CA
While driving car on San Antonio Rd, Mountain View, CA, I saw a star very near moon. It was just north west side. Since it was day time and being bright near moon and never see a star like that near moon, I was amazed and so showed it to my daughter and my wife. My wife could not see it first, so we were pointing her to the direction to look we realized it was slowly faring away from moon, that made us very much amazed and we were constantly watching it without even taking our eyes from it. About 5 to 7 minutes time it reached 1 to 1.5 meters away from moon, then disappeared all of a sudden.

Hello Sr . I was in the back porch in my wheelchair a few hour ago, when I was coming back inside the house, a hummingbird caught my attention, so I pulled my iPad and took a few pictures of him. When I was back inside looked at the same location, but don’t know what picture is it. The photo submitted by the witness shows a rufous hummingbird in flight, together with a lens flare, caused by pointing a camera at the Sun. PD

Looked east one oval object with round red lites 5 evenly distributed in distance circumference. This craft was position north and south with the widest circumference in the center motionless for 10 seconds. Another craft smaller but the description is the same was horizontal with the widest part centered. The smaller object moved ver quickly to the right the back again to the left. It traveled vertically to the larger object and disappeared. The after hovering the larger object was rotating then just disappeared.

I observed a round pulsing object that was bright orange and glowing. It left no trail nor emitted sound. I first noticed the object in clear skies at 9 pm at night facing West/North West at 295 degrees. The object was slowly traveling straight down followed by a leveling off curve to the left then level horizontal for a distance. During the leveling off curve and horizontal movement, the object slowed dramatically and at one point was almost no longer moving. The pulsing orange light may have been caused by a rotation of the object. The edges were fuzzy and the shape seemed to change with the pulsing. I did not have a camera at the time and I went inside to get me wife to see it. When we returned, it was no longer visible. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and found him to be both eloquent, and sober-minded, about his sighting. We suspect that he is a highly qualified witness. PD

The lights were kind of multiplying in what looked like a possible triangular pattern and then all of sudden disappeared. They were yellow in color.
