https://youtu.be/IFQHNzPUQuI I attached my iphone to the railing of my and set my camera to timelapse to catch the sunset. The camera filmed for a little more than an hour. The total time of the video is 31 seconds. As the sun sets four lights appear one by one in the upper left of the screen. You see other planes zipping around but these lights are stationary. I’ve no idea what this is and have not altered this recording in any way.

Late at night at a friends house. In the backyard, alone, facing southeast. Looked up and saw some very strange-looking orange orbs, or lights, high in the sky above the trees and far away (not sure how far). There were at least six, and some of them split apart to form more. The objects were very bright, and were clustered together in a kind of formation. No blinking. No sounds. They moved in slow, random looping motions and the lights gave a trailing effect. The display struck me as very unearthly. It did not last long, perhaps between 5 and 10 seconds. Then, all at once, the objects disappeared like someone flicked a switch, and the formation was gone.

The glowing lights were exactly parallel and seemed to hover. There was a plane taking off from the airport and it was very very small compared to these lights. The plane disappeared into the atmosphere but the lights stayed. I turned my head for several seconds and thy were gone. They weren’t climbing in elevation like the plane so I was very very surprised when they were suddenly gone . I second guessed myself and what I had seen, so I didn’t report until now. I have been studying UFO sightings since that day and am now 100 % sure that is what I saw. It was unbelievable.

After seeing an object quickly changing colors, I got my camera (Nikon Coolpix L320) and took some photos. As I zoomed in on the photos, I noticed it was not a singular object, but several. After watching them for approximately 20 minutes, I went to bed. I woke up two hours later, and they were still there.

At sea (Long Beach, 3 hrs. S of), CA
We were on the cruise ship Carnival Panorama, returning to Long Beach from the Mexican Rivera. We were approximately 3 hours from docking when I awoke at a few minutes after 4 A.M. to relieve myself. We were in a balcony cabin on the eighth floor. Returning to bed I decided to look out the cabin curtains (which were closed) to see if I could see the lights of the city. When I pulled them back, I couldn't believe my eyes, there were two glowing orbs holding relatively steady fairly close to level with our cabin. I opened the balcony doors to get a better view and they slowly started to move towards the front of the ship. they appeared to be less than a hundred yards from the ship. I hollered at my wife " Holy Crap, do you believe in UFO's" Fortunately she was awake (probably from my getting up). She came to the balcony and observed them as they slowly moved towards the front of the ship, they appeared to rise a little and passed almost level with the bridge of the ship. The orb on the right moved hard right in a maneuver that was almost a 90 degree turn at high speed and then stopped and came back over the top of the other orb and then came back underneath and resumed station on the other. They then began a climbing right tun to the east and seemed to merge and then at a very high rate of speed vanished. To my estimate of size, they appeared to me to be between 5 and 10 feet in diameter, but distance is hard to estimate in the dark of the night. We thought that was the end of it and started to go back in the cabin, when I noticed a glow under the water approaching from behind the ship at a high rate of speed, I pointed it out to my wife and she became frightened at that point and exclaimed "Oh my God". The glowing object came up to about midship and stayed there for a few seconds and was clearly visible as a glowing orb under the sea. It then turned east for aways and then came back towards the ship, stopped circled around and then departed at a high rate of speed back the direction it came from. It was hard to estimate the size of this object as the depth it was at couldn't be estimated. there was no surface disturbance, but the glow was clearly visible. The speed of these objects and the maneuvers they made were not something we are capable of. I am a pilot myself. Needless to say, we did not get back to sleep. After talking we felt these objects were checking out the ship for whatever reason. We were close but I never felt threatened, more amazed than anything. I can't believe the bridge crew did not observe these things as they passed by level with the bridge. We went from sceptics, by passed believers, straight to I firmly know in a few short minutes. It was an amazing, incredible encounter for us. We don't claim to know what these objects are, but we now know there are things beyond our comprehension that are clearly directed by unknown intelligence. Additional observation is that the light of the orbs seemed to be kind of a haze or moving, kind of like translucent. Hard to describe. Also, there was no sound that we could hear.

At approximately 2:30 in the morning I was out front of my house smoking a cigarette about 5 minutes into it I looked into the sky above me and I witnessed a V formation with 5 lights that were a city block wide hovering silently above my home, aproximatly 30 to 40 in the air. At first the lights were were an amber color but right before it disappeared the lights turned red. I was able to take three pictures of it before it quickly and silently disappeared.

Upon opening my living room blinds after my morning workout, I noticed a plane flying very low right under the clouds. I watched it to see if it was landing in a nearby airport and noticed it was not a typical plane. The craft was triangular in shape with a white light on each corner. After maybe a minute of staring at it the craft just vanished.

Visibility was high overcast and all three slowly moved up into the cloud layers.Slow moving and with no sound or jet noise. Moved into the Fairfield landing pattern. Angle was about 10-15 degrees from horizon. Colors were not blinking and were solid glow of white orange.

Two Lights first appeared to be approaching from 152 degrees, [as measured by my iPhone Compass] this hour. Then a second one appeared lower and at the 7 o-clock position of the first two. Third light was moving horizontally just below and not far from the horizon[not in an approach altitude for sure) and vanished as it crossed the path of the first two orbs. At first I thought they were military on an approach to Fairchild.. This latter was measured on a map not in their landing approach pattern or runway alignments. As the third light vanished, the upper two moved slightly to the right in sync and sped up a bit, but not at a speed [very slow] compared to a typical airliner or a USAF TANKER. OBJECTS STOPPED FOR A MOMENT AND STARTED TO RISE EXPONENTIALLY VERTICALLY [BOTH] AS THEY DISAPPEARED INTO THE CLOUD COVER BASE. AT NO TIME WERE THERE ANY ROTOR SOUNDS OR JET ENGINE NOISE. DISTANCE IS HARD TO CALCULATE, BUT APPEARED TO BE MORE THAN 5 MILES, OVER THE SOUTH MT AREA OF SPOKANE, OR IN THE EASTERN AREAS OF Chenny., WA. So it was probably about a max of 15 miles to a min. of 5 miles sic: ~10 miles Again, there were no blinking strobe lights or navigational lights. It was just a solid white-orange constant illumination with no apparent rotation visible - then instead of landing, of which I was expecting, one vanished and the other two shot vertically both together into the cloud cover. The altitude was way below that of approach landing patterns given their approx distance from the airbase. SUMMARY Three distinctly vivid bright white to orange lights slowly maneuvering in or below the landing pattern of an AF Base, or about 500 feet altitude, then shot up into the clouds. Gene Weed

Sitting on back porch enjoying the sky. 3 orange, more amber , oval like an elipse , lights approached at a high speed in formation each independently moving in a slight wave pattern from east to west, under the cloud cover . A bright moon filtered by cloud high in the sky the lights appeared to move just under the clouds and appeared to be glowing lights, not solid objects. Same rate of speed and distance headed west into the horizon. Very very fast. There was absolutely no sound.

Emeryville, CA
Wednesday evening, February 9th, I was driving near the Chevys parking lot on the Emeryville Pier and saw what I thought were lights attached to the construction cranes hanging over Hwy 80 (several exits were under repair at the time). However, as I stared at them, I realized it was something different and pulled my car over immediately to get out and take a look. What I saw were 5 softly glowing, silent orange lights in a random formation over the highway. Each light was slowly pulsating. It seemed as if they were just hovering there, but it also seemed like they were moving towards the Oakland Hills. The formation was random; a couple of them seemed quite near the highway. I drove my car over to the end of the pier, by the boats, to see if I could watch them further. By the time I got there, the lights were already closer to or directly above the Oakland Hills. I watched a couple of them sink behind the hills and the rest drift further east into the fog, where they disappeared. I kept watching, and noticed either 2 additional glowing orbs or the same 2 orbs that floated behind the hills earlier float back up from behind the hills before following the rest into the distance. I thought I saw one more as I went to my car, but I can't be sure. I couldn't take my eyes off the sky for a little while longer and just watched and watched, to make sure I didn't miss anything. This took place over the course of a half an hour, at night. I've lived in Oakland for years and I tend to watch the sky at night from my porch, so I have a good sense of the various lights that appear regularly in the night skies (e.g., helicopters, drones, airplanes). The site was strange enough for me to pull over, and then keep watching as long as I could. It gave me an eery feeling. The only explanations I can think of are flares and paper lanterns, perhaps released from somewhere near or on the pier. The latter seems more likely, given the direction they all seemed to be going. It's conceivable that there was a group of people further down the pier or on one of the boats releasing paper lanterns.

Jacksonville, FL
My significant other and I had just parked and got out of the car to head into a grocery store to get things for dinner. It was dusk and as we started walking towards the entrance she pointed up and goes "Look at those lights". There were 3 orange lights in the sky unblinking sitting in the sky in a triangle formation. At first I thought it was those Chinese lamps that people release but quicky realized they were far too high up to be those and the perfect triangle was too odd for those. The lights were probably 15 thousand maybe 20 feet up in the sky with at least 200 yards if not more between each light and we're unmoving. I noticed a plane (probably commercial seeing as we aren't far from Jacksonville International Airport) was flying somewhat below the left bottom point of the triangle. Quickly one disappeared then another and by the time we knew it all the lights simply were gone. Sadly my phone was charging at home and hers couldn't snap a clear picture.

I was driving on and off ramp towards town coming from Holloman AFB and noticed 6 lights to the left of the ramp and started noticing they weren’t moving and they were just stationary. We have any jets and drones in the area but I am familiar with the structure and lights on them and these were not them. I pulled out my phone to try and take a picture but of course they disappeared by that time. They didn’t “fly off” or dissipate like a shooting star or meteor they simply disappeared and I was in immediate shock. I have no doubt in my mind they were unidentified flying objects. Weird things have been happening here so I wouldn’t be surprised. My 18 month old daughter was the only other person in the car with me at the time.

My roommate and I were watching firefighters and paramedics from our balcony when we noticed one strange object/light become five in the night sky above easy LA. They seemed to expand and split into a formation of 5 objects and hovered for about 45 minutes. They were twinkling. We compared them to the planes passing by, these lights/objects were very different. One by one they just disappeared in the same spot they were hovering in.

Multiple large bright circles hovering. You can see a airplane pass through them and the objects do not move. It is right above the Oakland airport it seems, which is weird because you think if it was anything else the planes would have been able to land. These objects were completely silent. And then all of a sudden spit apart from each other and disappeared.

I was on my sister's porch and saw what appeared to be a shooting star. After blowing up the picture it looks like three aircraft that shot down from left to right at a 45 degree angle and then the craft disappeared before hitting the ground around 150 meters. I was watching the stars at the time and captured a picture.

Sherman oaks, CA
I was looking up at what I thought was an amazing display of birds starting in a heart formation, I watched as they soared into many other formations and began realizing one the formations were not in motion they were in one spot changing formations, as I continued to look closer I was confused because they were in a constant state of "soaring" upon looking closer it was apparent no wings were flapping and the formations were not in motion. I began calling out for my kids to look and ran back Into the house to retrieve my phone. When I returned the formations were in motion and leaving. Still no wings flapping. Triangle shaped, white, very high up, planes didn't seem to notice? I was able to get a little video.
