Oshawa (Canada), ON · Canada
Approximately 0005, a slow moving, very bright red orb/light moved in a East to West, then North to South trajectory that dropped slowly out of sight line - did not see any further movement after monitoring for minutes to see if it would head towards atmosphere.

I was standing outside getting ready to ring a bell as is my New Year's tradition when I spotted three glowing red-orange dots. They were low to the NE, rising slowly and steadily up southwards. The top two made a sharp curve west and faded out. By the time the third, flickering slightly, slowly faded from view, 5 or 6 more in a loose constellation followed it in the same direction, disappearing one by one. A very bright one appeared afterwards, taking the same curved route as the first two. It took nearly 10 minutes for the whole spectacle to play out. I'm not sure of the exact number because once I realized they were not helicopters, I was busy trying to get a picture. Afterwards, I thought they might have been fire balloons -- until I saw the one photo that came out. Those wild orange swirls are the motions of the orange dots within the second it took to snap the photo. They are NOT the result of camera motion because 1) they are not at all the same, and 2) that bright green squiggle in the lower left is a string of Christmas tree lights across the street, and it's absolutely unblurred and crisp. I've enhanced color and contrast to make the trails more visible but that's all. The interesting thing is that my first UFO sighting was also of three glowing orbs and happened exactly two years to the minute on New Years 2016 -- which is why I had the camera ready, though I never expected to see them again.

Port Orange, FL
It was New Year's Eve, my family and I we're outside, I was about to leave when I looked up and seen an orange orb. I first thought it was a plane, but then realized it was moving very slowly and changing direction. It would get brighter then dimmer. It would get so dim that you couldn't see it then all of a sudden show up again. I have video of this event.

Mesa, AZ
I'm in Lehi when it happened (North Mesa Arizona) The First Time was 7-10 minutes. The Second time was longer. At First was 5 or 6 but would dissipate when you caught a glimpse of them. The Color was Orange Hazy but each one was like 3 points of light that formed a upside down triangle (flying in formation like ducks )

Have good pictures and when zoomed in you see bright yellow light with a red square light outline around them and the red corners do not touch.

I'll be using google translator. My sighting occurred between 22 and 23 on Friday, 12/22/17. It was a red orb, it moved slowly, and on the day that it happened it was somewhat cloudy, but the orb was very well visualized even behind a cloud, there was a time when it was in clear sky and its intensity of brightness did not changed, as if all the time I was under the clouds, if I were to cover it of my vision I could do it with a grain of corn, unfortunately I could not take photos because I had to sell my cell phone, my computer recently had given problems and decided to sell my cell phone to help buy a new computer. I tried to call my mother but she did not want to come. I live in Brazil, I'm 15 years old, it was not the first time I saw an orb like that, years ago I had seen something like that, and my brother at 8 years old had reported to my mother to have seen a disk with bright lights, of course this I can not confirm since I was not even born, I just heard my mother speak.

Palm Bay, FL
Multiple videos available from 3 sources (all smartphones). Reddish orange sphere shot across sky and stopped in one spot remaining brightly lit (reddish orange) and remained on the spot for a few seconds before blinking out...a minute later it came back on at the same spot and proceeded to descend about an inch lower than where it was, then blinked off again, a few seconds later it blinked back on and made a silent arch towards the right and descended again about an inch and blinked off...we are still watching the skies as we speak. Totally silent, brighter than an aircraft and fluid in its movements, almost like what you can project with a laser pen. Object was far away, too far to be able to tell you for sure its distance. We saw it by two trees and knew it was right over the ocean.

Agoura Hills, CA
Agoura Hills, over Santa Monica Mtns. South of Kanan Road two white orbs traveling south west toward Malibu and ocean. Leaving diffusing contrail/puffy white cloud backlit by moon. Cloud/contrail appears as puff of smoke left as exhaust when car suddenly accelerates. You and I have spoken before re saucers appearing clearly over Federal Way WA a decade ago. See photo file sent separately under WALLACH.

Palm Springs, CA
Just watched several lights in the sky over Palm Springs, CA, moving north to south. Two very bright lights, each with splay of light behind. At one point a smaller light shot straight up into the sky after the two other lights went past it. One large light continued on until it disappeared over mountains. Missile launch. PD

Seaside, CA
Initially visibly as a red to orange glow near the eastern horizon, this object left a visible contrail, initially orange, which gradually became white. The diameter of the contrail varied. It closed at very high speed until it covered about two thirds of the distance between us and the eastern horizon- at which point it appeared to explode. I have watched a number of meteor showers- and this did not resemble any meteor I have ever seen. We initially thought it was probably an aircraft catching light from the sun, which was at that time not far below the horizon. At the point where it appeared to explode, the contrail abruptly flared into a very large white cloud covering about 20 degrees, from which two glowing spherical objects with visible discs emerged with no further trails. One went northeast at a high rate of speed and rapidly vanished; the other hung in the sky for about three minutes and then moved southeast, with less acceleration than the first ob! ject. Efforts to take pictures (we were catching a sunset with a P-900 and a D-5500, both Nikons) yielded fair shots of the cloud, but not the spheres- there were no discernable details visible by eye or digital images. There were no sonic booms or other noises associated with this sighting. Missile launch. PD

Dana Point, CA
Someone shot or launched two rockets or orbs from a house over looking the ocean institute in Dana Point north of Doheny. From this house on top of the cliffs overlooking the parking lot there was a noise and smoke then a flying object flew slowily out to sea very high in the sky. This object had only two beacons of light pointing back behind it at the house and smoke it left as it flew over the ocean. Another object followed it quite a ways behind it then went more north over the ocean. It was a glowing orb more orange and not as bright. It grew dimer and fell as the other orb continued at a slightly more southern angle and flew over the sea and disappeared into the atmosphere. Missile launch from Vandenberg AFB. PD

Lancaster, SC
I live approximately 20 miles south east of Charlotte Douglas international Airport. I am an amateur astronomer and have a fairly large telescope. Being so close to the airport there are passenger jets that flight continuously from 6 AM until 12 PM daily. Over the past couple of months, I’ve seen this object three times, and I did manage to capture a video with my cell phone but it’s hard to see. I did buy a Samsung HD video camera just so that I can capture this object on video. The really strange thing about it is it flies slowly over our neighborhood and the only way I can describe how it looks is like a jiggly ball of bright white vibrating jello. Do you want another interesting thing is since I started seeing these there of been Apache attack helicopters fly over our neighborhood periodically, maybe three times per month and just the other day they came down over our neighborhood just above the tops of the houses like they were chasing something.

Billings, MT
On Thursday 12-21-2017 at 2.25am Looking west from west end of billings, MT. I Noticed a stationary bright red orb about 30 degrees above the west horizon, below the estimated 3,000 foot cloud cover, with very light snow falling. After about 10 seconds it traveled about 20 degrees to the south & stopped rapidly, holding a fixed position for 6 to 8 seconds. It then moved about 30 to 40 degrees to the north & rapidly stopped. The light stayed on with the same intensity as it continued moving to fixed positions, moving back & forth in the western sky. Then it blacked out & reappeared at different locations, no light visible now as it moved locations in less than a second. Continued this behavior a few times it darted around north to south. Last viewed it holding position a few seconds, then rapidly ascending at about 45 degrees, into the cloud cover. Red light changed slightly to red orange becoming much brighter as it ascended into the cloud cover.

Apparent satellite rapidly orbiting south to due north in clear sky. Brighter and larger than what I usually see with naked eye.

Saw 3 large sphere shaped objects traveling towards 1 stationary object. They flew in the same trajectory about 45 to 60 seconds apart. It was cloudy and they were just under the cloud base. Were traveling at a slow rate of speed. There was an orange hue like a distant campfire. There was no color change just dimming and brightening. As each one passed they followed the same direction and made a slight angular turn of about 20 degrees to the south of my location. Each one was slightly closer as they passed over and I could see details of the third one. It appeared as if there was an orangeish haze coming off it but not enough to leave a trail. There was a smaller sphere inside of the large outer one and was positioned at about 7:00 area in the direction it was traveling. The smaller one illuminated the outer one. There was no structure to it, it looked like a giant bubble. There was absolutely no sound. The only odd effect was static electricity feeling in the air. The objects grouped to gather in a diamond shape and ascended into the clouds and that was the end of the sighting. I have an hd video that is about 6 minutes. As the last one went overhead my phone shutdown... I do however have the majority of it recorded with some detail of the closest one.

Mt Morris, PA
Sunday night @ aprox 8:00 pm est. Me my wife my 11yr old son and my 8yr old daughter were traveling on I-79N from WV.to PA. We exited I79 via exit 1 Mt Morris PA. We turned left off the exit towards down town Mt Morris when my wife says. What the hell is that in the sky!! I looked to my right and seen a large cluster of red lights. At first I thought it was a right away lit with red lights cutting over the Mountains. But the more I looked I could deff tell it was not .. There were @ least 10 maybe 14. Very Bright Red Orbs. From what I seen it looked like they were paired up. It was like a half moon formation with one side straight but they looked like there was a pair then a space then a pair. Unfortunately we did not get any video or photos. But it was witnessed by everyone in the car. We all seen the same red lights and the formation. The only discrepancy in our story's are my kids said that it was moving, and I thought it was still. But I was driving and could have not seen it move as I was watching the road also. Not sure what we saw but it was strange. Cluster

Plato Center, IL
I was watching TV in my bedroom when a strange bright, blue orb passed across my shade drawn window right in front of my that I was facing. It was going from east to west as I looked south. It crossed the top half of the window width in about 2-3 seconds, falling at approximately a 25 degree angle. I had my bedroom light on so to see it through my ratfia type shades it had to be very bright. I thought it could be a meteor, large drone or UFO and thought it was going to crash some where into the area in the fields by Connors Rd or just west toward Rt 47. I quickly jumped up and went to the window in the bathroom where it had no shades to see if there was fire in the nearby field. Didn't see any. Went out onto the front porch to look and listen and heard many dogs or coyotes barking. It was so unusual that I decided to get in my car and drive down the road to see if I could see some crash or fire. I went down Red Gate the next street south to see if it was perhaps closer. Drove down to the T with my lights off looking to the south to see if I could see anything. I didn't see anything unusual, so I went further to Conners Rd. I drove down it to the West, also with my lights off looking on both sides of the road. Didn't see anything so I turned around half way up the hill before Rt 47 then drove back to Kendall. When I came to the stop sign at Connors and Kendall, I looked South and saw a large Black SUV type vehicle with headlights off, but yellow parking lights on, near the Woodlands entrance but on the East side of the road. It was strange as I couldn't imagine a car stopped there unless it had seen it to. I thought about stooping to ask them if they had seen it, but it didn't feel right being there, so I didn't. I drove back home, parked in the garage, got out of the car and immediately heard a Helicopter overhead going west near to me and then just past Rt. 47. I went out onto the driveway to see if I could spot it and immediately heard a second Helicopter that seemed to be coming up from the south along Rt 47 west of me. All of this had taken place in under 15 minutes. I stayed out in the middle of the dark driveway for about 3 or 4 minutes until I didn't hear the helicopters anymore. ((Dog's name deleted)) was barking inside the house so I closed the garage door and went inside to calm him. I then opened the front door and went onto the porch to listen. I didn't hear anything more. No helicopters or strange sounds, or lights even at that point--probably about 9:50 pm. It was all very strange and I now think maybe some type of UFO fell nearby and the helicopters were out scouting or retrieving. The large Black SUV could have been Men in Black as the car gave me a strange feeling, big, dark, tinted windows I think, and in a strange country road location to stop and pull over. After I had a chance to think about it all, it was just very unusual.

Very bright, electric blue orb seen through window shade at night. It flashed by quickly but I saw it with the room lights on. Was falling about 20 degrees, going east to west direction. Thought it was a meteor crashing in our extremely rural area, most likely in cornfields just SW of us. Got in the car to see where in the fields nearby it crashed. Couldn't spot it after about 10 minutes search, so drove back home. As soon as I pulled into driveway, heard a helicopter going overhead from W to E. Within a few minutes another helicopter came in from the south with in an eighth of a mile they landed, as I did not hear them flying off in the distance further to the west.

Gold Hill, OR
Anywhere from 5-7 pm pacific time while driving home from work, through Gold Hill Oregon close to the vortex, I saw a huge Orb of light in the sky come from around the mountains on the right side and in a couple different quick zig zagged movements head to the left and then disappear. I was driving South on I5. This is my second sighting in Oregon. A few years a part. I later heard via the news that an identical UFO was seen on camera at Yellowstone.

Dallas/Ft. Worth, TX
I recorded the bright Yellowish/orange sphere on my way driving into DFW Airport. It was hovering over the city skyline. It dimmed colors and became bright. It was to big to be a drone and flying way to low to be an airplane. Description of background, city-skyline-dark skies.
