Destin, FL
I woke up unexpectedly about 1:45. I went outside to smoke. I saw the object, it looked like a crystal. Mostly pink and blue. It looked to have three lights, like a stoplight. It was stationary and stayed just above the treeline. My eye was drawn to another set of lights and then a third, but I think the third may have been someone's Christmas tree through the trees. I felt fully awake and frightened. I stared at it for a bit and then the sky began to lighten, like when the sun starts coming up. I grew afraid and went back inside my apartment.

In the Western sky we saw a circular shape with red, white and yellow lights flashing around it. It never moved but appeared to shine a light out from it. We suspect a sighting of Venus. PD

Las Vegas, NV
i saw some light flying like a U letter from north to south, than a bit east, than north again, than south, than west, than north.and back, and some other strange movements what a drone, baloon, rocket, aeroplane ,helicopter ,or any known object can not fly like that for like 20 seconds. like a swing with a children on it doing a U movement/fly or whatever. they was moving on the sky not flying,they go up and down,and up and down. this happened in the sky in a big area like a 50 sqare mile.Helicopters can not fly/move like that. like up and down, and when they was mooving the light become stronger a bit, and bit lighter. same like when they lost the gps signal and they was trying to catch the signal, just i don't see any sense why they swas doing that U kind of fly on the sky i saw this from Las Vegas like 3 weeks ago(i cant tell you exact date),was before midnight,i was goint to eat tacos and that taco place close at midnight,so was like 11:30 and was on the sky on the south west part of Las Vegas, somewhere like 30 miles outside the city or maybe more. The light was flying in this U kind of movements for like 20 seconds than was like when you of the light and didn't see them anymore. Thank you to listening my story!

Me and my brother were driving and we had seen a huge orange light in the sky levitating. After a couple seconds it shot down leaving a trail so we followed it over to harbor side and it looked like it went into the water. Everyone is trying to say it was a firecracker, but it made no sound. Please investigate it!!!!

Black object moving around in same area appearing around dark clouds for several minutes. It seemed to be a kite at first and I walked directly underneath it because I thought it was a kite flapping in the wind. When I looked for the strings and a witness it disappeared.

Alma, AR
We were traveling south on 540 and saw 6 bright orange fire balls that appeared to be floating in a southern bound direction. We saw them for about 10-15 minutes before they disappeared. They were visible from the highway from Westfork to south of Alma. Not sure if they burned out or we just lost sight of them in the horizon. A trail of smoke was visible behind each light and they were not lined up perfectly or in any kind of pattern. They were grouped together and traveling at mostly similar speeds.

Clayton, NC
December 4, 2018 about 5:30 pm at dusk. Sky was orange colors from sun set. Clouds were dark. Very pretty sunset. In my car, waiting at traffic light at highway 42 west, to turn left onto Government Road in Clayton, NC. While waiting to turn, I was looking West. Something moving caught my attention. At the tree level, which I estimate to be around Cornwallis Road, which is West of Government Road about 1 mile away. Something was flying low above tree level. Very long, (comparing size with distance) slender shape. No lights could be seen on shape. Dark like the clouds; black silhouette. Could not see wings or tail of an airplane. No sound was heard. Object was moving very slowly from south to north. I had to move with traffic, so, I made my turn. It was very unusual. We see military large cargo planes all the time around here. They fly low, but, this was even lower.

My wife took the dog out into the back yard and seen a bright whitish light in the yard next door, she thought it was a helicopter looking for someone cause of the sound, but it had no blade wash and the trees were still not like from a normal helicopter being that close. As she rounded the corner of the garage to see what it was, she yelled for me to come out. She said it was hovering close to the ground and rose up to above the trees when I got out there. There was a black triangle shaped craft as big as house with lights on each corner that was moving above the trees and It slowly traveled westward and up into the clouds. It was an overcast night with low clouds with a glow of the city lights. We both seen it was no helicopter and was clearly a black triangle with lights on the corners.

St. Louis, MO
Huge. I mean absolutely enormous. The light flashing appeared to be as large as 15-20 Tower beacons. White not red. It flew in from the direction of S. Louisiana St. towards S. Compton. Was extremely loud, and sounded like a missle. Was flashing like a strobe light and moved faster than any jet or airplane I've ever seen. It took literally seconds to move from out of sight in one direction to out of sight in the other direction. It is cloudy outside. No stars to be mistaken, and the light was still so bright it was blinding, making it hard to even see the shape. Immediately afterwards, you could hear aircraft in the sky, as if trailing it.

Philadelphia, MO
The objects were white and circular emitting great amounts of light. There were 8 of them acting with great speed. They were able to move in all directions but mainly followed the one in front of them. They were irregularly spaced moving in a jagged line. The observer was at the time a 17 year old boy who went hunting for deer. On the way to his spot, he saw the event take place in a hay field. Upon seeing this he knew no one would believe him so he went to grab his phone and record them. By the time he finished recording he noticed that the objects could not be seen on the video and had disappeared from view.

Originally, I counted seventeen orange orbs that appeared to drift up from the southeast. From where I stood, it looked like these things climbed up into the night sky, way off to the south, towards Custer State Park. I watched as they drifted toward Keystone, and then angled somewhat toward the northwest, toward the Black Hills. Only, the second time I counted, there were twenty of them. The skies were overcast, but it wasn’t snowing like it had been earlier. The wind was calm, and the temperature hovered around 30 degrees Fahrenheit.

San Antonio, TX
I am a home health PTA and I was going to see a patient in their home. As I was leaving my housing development, I saw five flickering lights in the sky that appears to me to be over Lackland AFB. I pulled over to watch, but did not get pictures or video. The lights were in a chevron shape and this did not change so I assume it was one object. I did not see a physical craft or dark shape the lights were connected to. I am an Air Force veteran and former San Antonio police officer, I see C5's flying overhead all the time as Lackland AFB is the training facility for this large plane. Even when a C5 is flying over the base 12 miles away, you can make out that it is a plane. The object I saw was only lights that flickered like a silver mylar balloon would in the wind reflecting the sun. There was no pattern between the five lights, but the distance between them remained constant. I watched for maybe a couple of minutes and it banked to my left in a northern direction. Then then flickered out and I did not see them again.

Early December, I was traveling down fries mill road going towards Clayton, and around 10:50-11 I seen a bright white dot traveling the same direction as me (was just about tree line.. It was flying super fast, had no tail and no mechanical sounds). Never seen something travel so fast. There one second and gone the other.

Lanexa, VA
At approximately 3:40 am on the morning of Dec. 1, 2018, I stepped out for a smoke before going to bed and looked up at a mostly cloudy sky. As I was headed in, I noticed some blinking lights in the southeast sky where there was a break in the cloud cover. I initially assumed these were airplanes but was surprised at how many there were in this one area of the sky. I stopped to watch and noticed that they were not moving as airplanes normally do but were stationary and then noticed other lights moving in the same area in different directions. There may have been around 20 'lights' in all and they were all of a light/white type color. This went on for about 10 minutes. These 'lights' seemed to be at a considerable distance and seemed as if they were 'out in space', not over the east coast. I became concerned and went in to see if there was any news of this on the internet. I have seen many things in the sky such as meteors, asteroids, space/rocket launches, etc, but I have never seen anything like this.
