Bayville, NJ
Elongated flickering light with some blue in it hovering in place then at times jutting quickly side to side. As it was jutting streams of aurora lights beamed downwards. It was to the east an most likely hovering over the bay. I watched it for 3 hours then went inside. It was still in sky when I went in and at that point the beaming aurora lights stopped.

My children thought a drone was following so my friend and I went to check it out and there were 8-10 objects flying over the tree line. They would sit in one spot then zig zag all over. Lights were red and white. One shot straight up and disappeared after hovering in the same spot for a few minute. They were not in a single form line but at one point they all lined up but with a big distance between them.

Went outside on the porch to smoke a cigarette looked up into the sky. And there I saw a white flash. Too big for a shooting star. Disappeared into the cloudy sky. I do not do drugs nor a drinker.

On the night in question, my friend and I went to his backyard so he could have a smoke. As we walked out, I immediately noticed a light in the northwestern sky that was very unusual. It was in a northwest direction (looking towards Buttonwillow and maybe even towards highway 41) from where we were standing, approx. 15-45 miles away. At first glance, it had an orange-like light. After a few minutes, the orange went away and what looked to be two red lights appeared in its place. There was also a white light clustered just beneath these two red lights. As we were watching this, I attempted to take my phone out to take a picture, but it suddenly disappeared from the horizon. Within a few seconds, it reappeared. It did this one or two more times before it faded out, but very, very slowly. Also, this was very low on the horizon.

This continued long enough for me to run into the house and grab my girl and her nephew to come look, and they confirmed that it was definitely in the sky and strange. A few minutes go by and it looked like another light came up on it fast, they converged on each other, and headed downward at an angle towards the ground and they fell out of sight behind the mountain. They fell from the sky FAST! I have not seen anything since, and my eyes have been glued to the sky!

I was looking up at the night sky on a clear night, around 9PM, March 12. I was staring at Orion's belt. Between the stars "Meissa" and "Betelgeuse" I saw a bright white light. I would say it quickly appeared like within 1 second, but it was not instantaneous. It was a constant white light that did not flicker or distort in any way, and was about twice the size of the nearby stars. It then moved between those 2 stars from right to left (west to east) within 2.5-3 seconds and then faded out as quickly as it had appeared. It had no trail or anything typical of a "shooting star."

Council Grove, KS
I was sitting on my couch chatting on messenger, and my curtains were moved to the side because my cat had been playing in the window. I looked out the window because I am facing the window and saw a flashlight red and bluish green light. There was no sound outside at all. I watched the flashing lights curiously. I saw the blue light disappear and then the rest light hovered, got a little brighter then went sideways in the sky. These lights were low in the sky. Then they disappeared. I got up and looked out and saw nothing. Still no sound in the sky. I closed my curtains, feeling a little freaked out.

Rockaway Beach, OR
Looking eastward while unhooking a utility trailer, I looked up and it was a brighter moonlit night and just above a small mountain horizon running left to right (north to south) for about 30 seconds I watched a faster than airplane light moving and then before it went over the horizon the light went out.

Cottonwood Heights, UT
Strange things happing in the sky tonight. My son was sitting in the hot tub with his girlfriend and about 40 lights in the sky were heading from the south to the north. Not terribly close together, but a steady stream. They were almost overhead, maybe a little to the east. One of the lights veered off to the west at a high rate of speed. No jet propulsion sound and not terribly bright but very noticeable. They also were not equidistant in relation to each other. A few more came a little later and when almost overhead they disappeared as traveling up.

Lebanon, OH
Took my dog out at approximately 0600 and noticed two bright green lights to the west of my home. The lights appeared to be just hovering. The lights appeared to be several miles from my home and closer to the horizon. Then one of the lights moved south at a speed faster than any aircraft that I knew towards Cincinnati. The other light stayed in one position and changed from green to red and then back to green. Eventually the other light returned and joined the other. The two lights moved back and forth, changed colors from green to red, and back to green. At one point one object started to flash, and then stopped. I watched these objects for over an hour until the sun started to come up and then they vanished. I videoed them with my cell phone also.

Las Vegas, NV
Saw strange light in sky that did not move for several hours then disappeared. It was high up in altitude and appeared over several days in roughly the same spot in the sky. Lookking through binoculars it was 3 bright lights in a row in semi cicular pattern with a halo of small dot shaped lughts around it. I could not discern any physical body as it was high up in the sky over western las vegas. I could not see it move as it seemed to hover in the same spot for hours.

Bright light flew down towards the ground and it appeared to have been moving so fast that there was some sort of light wave coming off of either side like a V. Then it disappeared. Not a shooting star as I’ve seen hundreds of those.

Bright light above the southwest horizon like a star but too low to be a star. Hovering but occassionally moving in an erratic way from side to side yet remaining in the same general location. Didn't seem to be making any noise.

Issaquah, WA
At 6:40 am I took the dog out. I saw behind my building a white light rising in the sky. It was moving toward the Northeast, slowly and in an irregular fashion. It was much lower than a plane, made no noise and was a steady white light. I have seen drones it didn't look like one I have seen and I wonder why it would have such a bright light. I have three videos of this.

I was called out to the porch by my grandmother, who said that she saw a light moving rapidly outside over the treeline. She has had no interest in the extraterrestrial, and she claimed that in her 81 years alive, she had never seen something like it. It was just one light at first, like a really bright star, appearing white in color. It would move back and forth in a general area, moving up very quickly, then left, so forth and so on, but never moving that far in the sky. At one point it multiplied into three dots of light, which we both witnessed, that were in a perfect line and moved with each other. It blinked into six lights at one point, still in a perfect line (but with a gap in between the two sets of three), though she didn't see it, as where she was on the porch she couldn't see the craft as well as I could see it. That was quick, and didn't happen again. It went back down to one dot again. I watched it move around a bit more before it eventually moved around enough to be out of my line of sight behind the trees. For a bit of debunking, it couldn't have been a plane, as the light moved rapidly back and forth, seemingly at random, and would move up and down. It couldn't have been a firefly, either, as it was behind trees, and would make that firefly at LEAST the size of an elephant, which I frankly don't believe is possible. I highly doubt it was a drone, as it was taller than the trees around my house (at least 100 feet) in a low visibility area in near-pitch black, not to mention that the lights that appeared would make the drone huge. I have had casual interest in UFOs before, but I never saw what could be one until now.

I am former military and am fully aware of what military aircraft would look like flying against a night sky and this was just not any man made aircraft in my opinion.

Saw 4 lights looked like dim stars. All in a line spaced evenly apart too high to be airplanes no typical flashing lights associated with airplanes. Traveling fast from west to east and disappearing as they came overhead. All following in line disappearing each at the same point.

I had seen a total of 5 UFO's merging into what I thought was a star that pulsed red and white and completely stationary, the five that merged were white light. I had thought the first 5 were also stars and did not move but then moved in a straight line with equal space between them at a very high rate of speed.

Sauk Rapids, MN
First, let me say that I have never seen a ufo, and I believe that what I saw was satellites. I was offloading or delivering gasoline to a station in sauk rapids, mn. I was actually daydreaming about seeing a UFO, when I looked up into the night sky I say a small white light moving at constant speed, and in linear trajectory, in a northernly direction (approximately). It was at very high altitude. As I watched it I noticed it had a second one about 4 seconds behind it. As I continued to watch this, I noticed that there was a continuous stream of these objects (satellites). Over the course of several minutes, I counted about 30 of these objects. I've never seen this many satellites moving together in a straight line, and I considered this to be noteworthy (hence this report)

The first thing we noticed was a weird trail of smoke almost appearing as though a rocket had been shot off or crashed. We went to follow the smoke first, but then saw these weird lights that almost looked like moving stars. They were very synced in their movements. One would fly off into this trail of smoke (still in the sky for over 30 minutes) then it would disappear. The next would follow, and so on. As they enter this what appeared to be a trail of smoke they would disappear. The trail of smoke would then shift and became larger in the sky. We watched this happen for 2 hours consecutively.
