All at once, the light moved at high speed diagonally for some distance and then the object was again stationary for some thirty seconds or so. Then, it dropped down at great speed where it was stationary at just above the horizon. I suspect a drone of some kind, as no plane or helicopter could move at such speeds and in such a fashion. On this site, I found a similar report in the same area in January of this year.

In my back yard about 8:00 pm. Watching all the stars start to come out with my daughter. And a very fast, colorful, and silent object was flying low over what looked like my roof top. I got my phone and started to take pictures. It was moving so fast it was hard to get a clear picture. But a few turned out. We know it wasn't a helicopter or plane because there was absolutely no noise. It was traveling in an up and down like manner. We watched it fly away into the horizon, then it just disappeared suddenly

Do not know what to think because the number was great, there were groups going north, airplains move faster, balloons do not change positions.

Shortly after 12:30 AM, as I was smoking a cigarette in my rural yard, looking across my family's lake at a direction of N NE, I noticed what appeared to be an airplane in the night sky to my left (at about my 10 o' clock). While watching this, an object I could not identify came streaking out of the northeastern sky and flew from that side of the horizon to the southwestern sky behind me in no more than one second of time. It was amazingly fast, so fast that I actually thought I was watching a shooting star initially. To make this sighting more strange, this object made NO AUDIBLE SOUND, had what appeared to be dim lights like the last breath of a cheap flashlight before it completely dies, and was as low-flying as a five-story building. Even more amazing, is that after the event, as I stood and pondered what kind of unidentified object I must have seen, I started thinking about the amazing radar or controls this object must have. Honestly, it appeared! to be man-made, though that's really not for me to say. What I mean is, this object could not continue at its speed and trajectory for long until it were to collide with SOMETHING, being that it was so low-flying. Truly amazing. Gave me instant tears to see something so awe-inspiring.

2 red lit spheres appearing as 1 vehicle moving to slow to be an airplane. Observed for approximately 10 seconds. Turned to grab my phone, and it was gone.

Okay, I was with 4 other people and we went to get pick up one of people from work and i noticed on the way to picking him up.. there was 3 dots in the sky lined up not straight liked up but just about.. And it wasn't moving at all. Then we were driving home and i looked up and they were still there and i didnt tell any of my friends about it. so we pulled up to our apartments and i brung attention to it and then we all went to the back of the apartment. for we can get a better view of it. And all 3 dots were still there. It wasn't a star. Neither was it a plane, cause planes do not stand in mid air floating. So we were watching it and it was weird after we starting to acknowledge that they are there. One starting going up slowly and it starting taking off towards the left and it had a red light. Again not airplane. So it started taking off to the left pretty fast and we couldn't tell the shape of the object it was dark but it had bright lights around the object with a flashing red light. Okay then there was the other two they were and the same place and after the first one took off the second started to go up with a not so bright light then it got bright and did the same thing as the first one. and right after that second was about to go up there was a bother light that appeared out of no where it wasn't as bright but then it got bright. And it was in between of the other two lights. and they each took off one by one. with the same speed and flashing lights.

This object has been hovering for the past 14 mins and still is. Red, green, possibly yellow and white too. We are at the fish hatchery off HWY290. It's is seriously hovering side to side and up and down. Very active and not making any progress in any direction. Blinking lights and steady lights.

My husband and I observed, at a fairly low altitude, a white light moving slowly from south east to north east. It was fairly bright and as we observed it, it just dimmed and went out. We have an app on our iphones that tracks commercial planes flying in the air around us and we both confirmed that there were none atall in the area, especially in that direction at that time.

My daughter and I we heading home from school and she noticed in the Southwestern sky what appeared to be two planes. She said that one was odd as it did not appear to be moving and we could clearly see the other plane moving with contrails behind it. I pulled over in a parking lot to observe the sky. She pointed out that the object appeared to be facing downwards and stationary with small V shaped contrails that came together as the object came to a point. We could still see the other plane moving to the right of the object. It was odd sight as we continued looking at the object it then went back from a dot to what we had first seen an object facing downwards with the same small V shaped contrails behind it. I continued home in the hopes of viewing from my home but trees we blocking that area in the sky.

I was lying in bed playing with my phone before I went to sleep, and the second I shut the phone off, outside my bedroom window coming up over the trees was what appeared to be a craft, I could not make out fhe shape of the body of the craft but this had a cluster of lights, white and then ones that seemed to change with multiple colors slowly pulsing - orange, greens, blues, reds, the lights were flying pretty slowly to the side above my house, it seemed too low for a plane, it was way above the tree tops but seemed low, when I watched it pass overhead, I grabbed my phone and tried to shoot video of it through the window and thats when I noticed what appeared to be the same type of craft flying about a mile or so off in the distance flying the same direction, fairly slow but the camera didnt pick up anything but black. I'll try to enhance it to make sure its not showing up. I'm shaking, I woke my husband up to show him - I have never in my life seen anything like this.

In the north east sky 2 friends and I spotted 2 erratic flying craft changing colors in the night sky, one changed from purple to red and then bright white while hovering high in the sky then darted swiftly across the sky then zoomed back at an incredible speed strieght to the same spot it had been in then hovered, the second craft darted rapidly up, down, side to side and in almost dive patterns but at incredible speed.

Downey, CA
At 05:45 am, I went to the golf course. Was walking and looking east and saw Venus in the sky. Just under that was what looked to be a high flying satellite or a high flying aircraft. There were no nav. Lights. Suddenly, it sped up real fast and made a 20 degree course change and went out of sight. Note: There was no vapor trail or smoke.

George (The Gorge amphitheatre), WA
My brother and I were at the Gorge to see the Foo fighters rock band. I had left the venue early and went back to our camp. I was reclined on my camping recliner looking at the stars. As I was looking South, and saw a meteor shoot from almost directly above to about two hand widths above the horizon. Right where the meteor blinked out I saw another light coming towards me so fast I thought at first it was another meteor. When it was directly above me, I could make out red and white, fuzzy. Either the object was spinning or the lights were moving around the periphery. The object headed North and made an arc NE as it went out of sight. It appeared to be about 5-10,000 feet high, no sound. From the time I saw it in the South until it disappeared in the NE about 4 seconds elapsed. I about broke my neck keeping it in sight. I had goosebumps after I witnessed this, as I have never in my life seen an object travel as fast as this did. I immediately texted my wife and friend who share the same interest in UFO's as I. The text time is 11:43pm.

Corpus Christi, TX
I was sitting on the porch looking at the sky listening to the chirping frogs and rain dripping off of the roof. Then I hear a plane and it flies over our house extremely low to the ground. I look at the plane for a while and it flies off and then turns to the right and goes away. Then I see what at first I think is a herd of birds all together but there isn't any space between them and they are in a triangular shape with one edge pointing down and flat at the top but it seems to turn and so I think it is maybe a large eagle. It is dark and hazy so it is hard to see so I get up and start walking closer and it seems to be a shiny gray or silvery black color and starts to look like a disk. I am now in the street getting my socks all wet running to try to get a better look as the house across the street's trees are blocking and when I get around both houses in the street, it is gone and I don't see it anymore. I was guessing it could be a drone but it seemed much too big to be a drone and just seemed like some sort of craft possibly surveying the area. Another possibility is a cloud but it was much more defined, seemed too small to be a cloud, and there weren't any other low clouds (this thing was probably half the distance off the ground that the low plane was). No one else was outside in our neighborhood and I thought about running inside to tell my mom and brother to come out but it happened too fast.

Renton, WA
Tonight, I witnessed object flying at low speed with multiple extremely luminous red lights from North to south. It raised up then down in a low amplitude arc then stopped abruptly. It hovered for approximately 30 seconds, then all the lights turned green. Approximately 30 seconds after that a small (air craft looking) light green strobe started. The craft then raised and lowered a short distance before returning to its original position. The craft then lowered below my sight line. No sound. I live in an area with a lot of air traffic, and this was unlike anything seen before. It may be possible that it was a drone, however from the size, distance, and speed, I find it unlikely.

Morton, WA
Viewing the eastern sky on a very clear night (9/11/2015) in eastern Lewis County, WA, I observed a bright ball of light about the size of a planet (viewed with the naked eye) with a magnitude of something similar to Venus appear move down about 3° toward the horizon, then disappear. Five minutes later I observed an illuminated object, which had a yellow pulsing light (no other lights), flying at an across the sky southeast in the direction of where the ball of light disappeared. The object was silent and I couldn’t hear any engine after it passed over. The object seemed to be at approximately 20,000 feet altitude. When the object passed where the ball of light disappeared, another flash caught my peripheral in the southeastern sky approximately 5° below and in front of the object traveling southeast. I looked southeast in the direction of where the first flash caught my peripheral, and one second later another brighter flash or beam quickly darted past ! the object and looked like it came straight from space towards the ground. The illuminated pulsing object kept traveling southeast in the direction of Mt. Adams. I watched it until the mountains blocked my view of it. It was definitely not a conventional aircraft of any kind, and too low and slow to be a satellite. The disappearing ball of light was a calming feeling, and the flashes of light shooting towards the object made my hair stand on my arms. It was a bit of a sinister feeling when the flashes came down from the sky. The object stayed on course and it never deviated from its southeast direction of travel. The flying illuminated object did not give me shivers like when those flashes came down.

Franklin, TN
I decided to go to the church and school of which I work, to lower the flag to ½ staff at midnight on 9/11/2015. I did this so I wouldn’t have to get up so early since I work another job at night, and I wanted it up before everyone arrived in the morning. As I was lowering the flag and looking up, something flew silently across the sky right above and slightly to the south from where I was standing moving from west to east. I was facing south. It was kind of horse shoe shaped, orange in color, and looked slightly like a sparkler. Normally, I would have thought it was just a meteor however, it almost came to a complete stop, then went slightly further east, and then vanished. It made me feel kind of creepy and I got the hell out of there. That’s about it! I’ve seen comets, meteors, and satellites all of my life but nothing that stopped and then proceeded on.

Lynn, MA
I live 8 miles north of Boston in Lynn Mass. During the summer just after sunset go up about 70-80 degrees facing west there is an object with a steady white light and blinking red and green light it stays stationary for about a few hours and it slowly moves northwest and seems to get lower in the sky. I am on a flight path and this object is higher than the planes that are landing I’m guessing but I’d say it is 20 to 30 thousand feet up pure guess. The only thing I could think of is a blimp that is monitoring something. It was out there most of the summer.

Valley Stream, NY
While coming outside to get something from my car I looked up at local plane traffic that was heading for JFK. I happen to scan across the sky and saw a flash of something at very high altitude, possible orbital (resembling the look of a passing satellite catching sun). After realizing for a moment that it is still very light I eliminated stars from the possibilities and started to think of a mylar balloon in the sun. The object lit up again, looking like a star, it would intermittently pulse like this for the next 20 minutes and made a slow counter clockwise path periodically very brilliant (reiterating like looking at a star), and then no light at all. On many occasions it was completely stationary, I eliminated the balloon theory. I attempted to video this over 3 clips on my Samsung S5, without zooming. So far I cannot see anything on the vids. In my opinion this was extremely high altitude possibly low orbital altitude. If anyone would like to analyze the video let me know.

Isabella, MN
was out camping...around 3 in the morning my son woke me up because he saw strange lights outside our tent...there was a strange object about the size of a car 25 yards into the woods and 20 yards above ground...this object was glowing but did not have a significant shape to it...the scary part was that this object was omitting a light beam up and around the woods each time lighting up the trees casting shadows.

Was ready for bed, heard sound like a very very long train OVERHEAD IN SKY. I DID NOT LOOK OUT. WHEN THE ROAR FINALLY STOPPED, I went downstairs and told my husband...just as we heard a loud sound like a large airplane flying low over our home. I keyed in on internet, AIRPLANES OVER STAUNTON VS 11:30 pm TODAY, and got this site.

Eagle Mountain, UT
I was in Meditation in an attempt to invite Extra-Terrestrial beings while in my meditation I heard small footsteps and almost like a tap on the fence which was about 6 or 7 feet away from me accompanied with a very deep breathing that was a bit different from what humans typically make even when attempting to breath a bit deeper. A swoosh of air went over me I could barely feel that is when I heard the breath one last time and at the end of the breath I heard my motion activated night vision camera go off. The camera was about 5 feet away or so. This camera will only go off on its own when an object is within 20 feet or less with the settings I had on. It is in three round burst mode which is why the first three are within seconds of eachother. The fourth picture is the orb a little closer and for the fifth I edited and put a selective focus on the features at the top of the orb. Opinions on what you see are welcome even if you see nothing! It may appear to some it could be! a celestial orb however, I disagree simply due to the fact when a celestial being appears the face or certain features appears to be inside the orb. I personally have not seen anything like this before though so maybe I have something misconstrued within our spirits as human beings.
