When driving eastbound on highway 690 in Syracuse, New York, my fiance and I observed and captured on video what appeared to be 4 oval like objects that formed a large triangle like shape. The color on these objects got brighter and they remained stationary until they suddenly vanished

I heard on the news it was to be the Geminids meteor shower, so I decided to have a look and see if I could see any. I was in the back yard about 5 minutes when this large, dull red-colored, round object with a darker brownish glow around the outside, came across the sky from behind me, directly above me. It looked to be as high as jumbo jets fly, like 30000 or 40000 feet, but it was as big around as the eraser on the end of a pencil and the brown glow extended outward from that, about half as much, the diameter of the red part. It never glowed or illuminated like a meteor would and was going about 100 times faster than an airplane. It went from almost directly above me to halfway to the horizon in about 2-3 seconds. I’ve seen a lot of meteors and I’ve never seen one like that. It seemed to me like it was slowing down as it got farther away but it was going really fast the whole time I could see it, if that makes sense. The sky was cloudless, but there was some lack of darkness from the city lights. ((anonymous report))

December 13, 2017. At About 9:00 PM Pacific Time December 13, 2017 in Vancouver, Washington, I saw what I strongly believe to be a UFO. I was outside to watch the meteor show when I saw an object moving from West to East. I was looking north. If you were to hold up a ruler at arm’s length it travel about 18 inches. Without slowing down it then made a very sharp turn south maybe a 90 degree turn and if holding a ruler at arm’s length I could see it travel about 4.5 feet. If you held up a dime at arm’s length that would be about the size of the object, maybe slightly larger. It appeared to be round but not sure if it were a true round object as I was watching this at about a 70 degree angle from the ground which would give it a slight appearance of being oval. But I would say it was round. They were few clouds out that night and there were no clouds interfering with my view of the object. The best way I could describe the object is as follows. Picture a perfectly round fried egg and hold it up at a 70 degree angle. That round egg now looks slightly oval which is how I saw it. The background that the object was seen against was night time black. The whole object was not bright but very faint as if there were clouds beneath it, but there were no clouds beneath it as the stars in the same area were brite. The entire yoke part of the egg would look an orange/red color, but more orange than red and faint. The entire white of the egg look like a translucent aura with the same color as the yoke but much more faint as it did appear to be translucent. I could not see any dome or any other geometric shapes. So there were no distinct individual lights just this faint glow. It travel in a perfect straight line going from west to east, and when it made that sharp turn to the south. It also traveled in a straight line. It did not move up or down, no other objects were seen with it. There were no flashing lights and no other color then the color describe above. It made no noise of any kind. Aircraft from nearby PDX could clearly be heard but no sound came from the object. There were no other aircraft at that time that may have covered up any sound coming from the object I was observing. It was traveling at a speed I would say somewhat faster than aircraft landing or taking off from PDX. If it was a UFO I would say that the speed it was traveling at was a good cruising speed for a UFO. Also when it turned south it would have been heading toward PDX or near PDX. This object maintain the same altitude the whole time I observed it and it was not in any typical landing pattern for PDX. There were no trails of smoke or haze it maintain the shape of the egg and everything I observed about the object stayed within those perimeters. It was not somebody on the ground with some kind of light shining up into the sky. There was no beam of light going up into the sky plus anyone on the ground would not have been able to shine a light for the distance that I saw this object travel. A light coming from the ground would have been interrupted by houses and trees. It also was not a weather balloon. There are four very distinct attributes about the object I observed. 1) Appearance was larger than any aircraft I have seen flying overhead. 2) It made no sound. 3) The aura that completely went around the object. 4) It made a very sharp turn. All other aircraft I have seen have to make a curved turn, this was a sharp turn like the corner of a square. I will be 71 years old in February 2018 and in my life time I have never seen anything like what I saw, or anything closely resembling what I saw. Since this was in such close proximity to the PDX airport this object must have appeared on their radar.

I saw a round bright bright green light fall from the sky straight to the ground faster than I've ever seen anything fly. Like it was landing, but faster than I thought a landing could be psosible. It only lasted one to two seconds.

((ADDENDUM #1)) Hi, It cycled 3 times in the 5 minutes I watched. The lights were very bright, I would guess at an altitude of 10,000 feet or low flying small plane. Much much brighter than the moon or a star because of their proximity. When they turned off they went down the line, I wasn't sure if they moved when they started to turn back on but possible a short distance when they were dark. I will resend the picture. If you zoom in that is what I saw. Thank you for your email ((END ADDENDUM #1)) ((BEGIN ADDENDUM #2 FROM WITNESS)) I was looking north west, because it was dark it was hard to see the ocean but I think parallel to the ocean. I just can't say for certain because it was such a dark night. The lights were very very bright and stopped me in my tracks. I knew I was witnessing UFOs. The picture unfortunately does not convey the brightness. Sorry I am unable to help more. I always enjoy it when you are on Coast. I will look every night and try to get video for you. One thing I forgot to mention is there was a small fishing vessel out that night which seemed directly under the UFOs. He must of gotten an eyeful. ((END ADDENDUM #2)) ((BEGIN ADDENDUM #3)) It would be impossible to find the fishing boat as he was in open ocean approx 10 miles off shore I would guess. I am sorry I am so ignorant about angles but I will try. Last night you could not tell where the ocean left off and the sky began. I think it was approx 90 degree angle from the ocean They sat about half way between the ocean and where you could start seeing stars, in an area where a low flying small plane would fly. Nothing so far this evening. ((END ADDENDUM #3)) ((ADDENDUM #4)) Hi I just spoke to my neighbor she said someone in Primo Tapia, which is a little town about 10 miles south, saw it also. She said they posted it on facebook. I do not use facebook so I don't know how it works and when I asked her she was unable to explain it. Perhaps you know how to check. Hope you are having a wonderful day. ((END ADDENDUM #4))

Billings, MT
I have been seeing lights for weeks above Billings. Finally got my neighbor to come.out and see. So she calls me tonight and says get out here. This time was insane. 16 red flashing lights in the sky in a zig zag pattern, headed north to south. Quickly and silently. What I have seen before is stationary lights that drift out and come back. Phone camera picked up only a few of the lights. This was insane and I am hearing nothing about it. Apparently, nobody looks up anymore because Billings has been crazy active with unexplained lights in the sky.

About 1 min later another one glides past but this one appeared to have a tail looked more like a ballon. clear round and floating mini pastels lights inside of it, and this is night and dark. We have spoken via telephone with the witness, and she assures us that the sighting occurred at 4:45 p.m., as she was returning home from work. The objects were seen moving from her right to left, but she witnessed GREEN lights, ruling out any type of terrestrial aircraft. PD

I couldn't make out the shape of it but the light was circular, with a small trail behind it, but not like a meteor. It was too big to be an asteroid or a meteor, and to fast to be anything from earth. Where I live I see a lot of commercial airlines fly overhead at night, but the light that a commercial plane gives off pales in comparison to the light of this ufo. I was astounded and my friend in the passenger seat saw it also, he said he was able to see a! shape within the light, but it went by so quickly, it was hard to make out an exact shape.

Low in the southern horizon, just about the roof line, I saw a light go across the sky and turn off. The light had to have been going fast to make the distance in the very short time line. It turned off as soon as I noticed it, but kept doing in a western direction. We spoke via telephone with the witness, principally to confirm the date of his sighting, and he seemed to us to be quite sincere, and sober-minded. We suspect that he is a highly reliable witness.

At approximately 8:00pm on December 7th, 2017, my husband and I witnessed 2 large objects and 2 smaller objects in the sky. At first they started to blink, and the two larger objects continuously circled each other for around 30 minutes. The two smaller objects disappeared after about 10 minutes, leaving the 2 larger objects chasing each other in the sky. They would blink for a while, then be a solid golden color, then go back to blinking and so on. At one point, they were stationary in the sky for 20 seconds or so, and a silver/blue object fell from one of the crafts, then started flying again. After about 30 minutes had passed, the two large objects stopped circling in the sky and took off in one direction. I tried taking a few photos with my phone and managed to capture an image. It looked like a circle with a tail. Possibly advertising lights?? PD

About 1 1/2 hours earlier, just West of Inola on our way to the hospital, we noticed a bright circle of light northeast of Tulsa, and about the time my Grandson asked me what star it was it started moving South. I told him sometimes planes have to circle before they land, but it seemed to be moving slower than it should be.

Driving home, I very clearly saw a huge, BRIGHT green circle fly through the sky at a high rate and promptly disappear in the distance. It lit up the sky in its vicinity with a very bright green color, very distinguishable from comets or shooting stars. the circle was about half the size of a full moon. I saw it very clearly for about 3 seconds.

My son sighted a bright red /orange glowing round object sitting right over horizon from his bedroom window. He thought, initially, that it looked like a full harvest moon but the real moon was a crescent in another part of the sky. I was able to see it as well and then we took pictures of it before it disappeared from sight a few minutes later.

Very high in the south eastern sky - very far above where airplanes fly - an airplane happened to fly by at the same time - 3 orange glowing rings, not much larger than stars, but large enough for me to see them and determine that they were circular in shape, were seen by me just as I glanced up at the sky. They were in a straight line; I could not tell if they were touching each other or not. Nevertheless, they were in very close proximity to each other. The line was straight but at about 30 degrees. After several seconds had passed, they took off in 3 streaks of orange moving upwards at a 45 degree angle and then disappeared. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she sounded to us to be quite serious-minded. We suspect that she is an excellent, and reliable, witness. PD

I look towards the east and it looked like birds circling around, but upon second glance, I noticed a pin sized light in each object. There were roughly 10-15 objects. As I watched, they continued flying in circular formation, criss crossing one another, at the same time rising higher and higher. I ran inside to grab my phone and tried to record it, but when I got back out, (literally 3 seconds later) the objects were so high in the sky I could barely see them anymore. My camera could not detect anything. I continued watching them move up, and a little southeast until they finally disappeared completely. All of this happened within the timeframe of 1 minute, just minutes past the 3 o'clock hour, central time.

As I was driving down route 9 near the freehold mall, I saw something in the sky that caught my eye because it was bright and moving very fast in a perfectly horizontal line. It went from one end of the sky to the other and broke off into 4 perfectly round objects, all the same exact size and then they swooped down behind trees and disappeared. I have seen shooting stars before and none lasted this long nor were they travelling such a perfectly straight line! I went online the same day to see others were posting about the same exact thing I saw so I know there had to be many witnesses.

Bullock, NC
I was standing with my father on the bank of Grassy Creek (Kerr Lake on NC & VA border) in Bullock, NC, when we saw a large, fast moving, bright white light approaching from the East, heading South West at about 50 degrees in the sky. I made the comment to my father that it was really moving fast, but there was no sound coming from it. As we were watching the object, it suddenly separated into three individual white lights, and within a second of separation, all of the lights totally disappeared. Vanished!!! We stood there in awe and asked each other…"Did you see that? What was that?” Holy ((1 word deleted))! – I have never seen anything like that in the 50 years that I've been alive.
