A large star like object was moving in strange ways unlike anything I've ever seen. It changed colors and was flashing sometimes a reddish hue but mainly white. We noticed it moving slightly and then it would move more. It moves in circles, up and down and side to side. We noticed that as we watched it had moved farther up from when we originally noticed it. Quite a sight. Very mesmerizing.

Two red glowing balls of light were traveling one behind the other right over a local annual event. The ball of light in back increased speed and passed the other than traveled in a downward motion and faded. The other continued to travel straight but faded away a few seconds after the other. I don't know if anyone attending the event saw them, as a band was playing, however I was across the street and saw them clearly for approximately five minutes.

While playing in the front yard, I glanced up and saw a glint off an object in the sky. What appeared to first be an airplane, turned into what I thought was something falling from the sky...maybe a balloon. After five minutes of looking at the object, I had my wife give me the camera (Canon EOS Rebel T6i camera with 250mm lens) to take a picture. Snapped a few pictures and zoomed in on viewer to get better idea. Could clearly see light within what appeared to be translucent object with "glowing" lights within. Had wife come out and look too. Invited neighbors out to look. Tried to look at object with a telescope; however, cirrus clouds were beginning to block the field of view and sun was going down. However, despite the sun going down, object appeared to be glowing in the sky. Decided that object was approximately 70,000-80,000 feet based on clouds. Object was slowly moving south. Upper level winds were 270/80, so a weather balloon would not have been moving in that direction. After about 90 minutes, too many clouds were obstructing the view and darkness set in. I tried contacting two local news stations (WOWT & KETV), but neither seemed interested. I sent one of them a picture, but have not heard anything. I am not clicking that I wish to be contacted by an investigator. However, if something comes of it, I'll certainly talk to someone to give more details. It was cool to see and certainly would like more of an explanation as to what the anomaly/phenomenon was.

Driving to work I looked up and saw one big bright light with something faint above it. Zipping around this bright light were two red round lights darting around it. As I was watching them, they disappeared leaving a red trail.

Standing in my driveway looked at the bright 1/2 moon in the southern sky at dusk. Saw a yellowish circle just underneath the Moon. It has hovering and seemed to be a long distance away. I looked at my 79 year old father in law and asked, "How's your eyes"? He said "fine". I said "look at the Moon". He said "what the?" We looked at each other. When we looked back it was gone. I was pretty excited. Him not so much. Clearly something was up there.

As I was getting off the freeway this blue light was everywhere around me. I looked for the source and saw this just about 30 feet over a hotel... it was a perfect circle the sizeof a V.W bug. On the top and bottom it was blue on the inside was a bright white light rotating clockwise it was illuminating the blue.On top of the blue was a gold shell like a sea shell I saw it for 7 seconds then it beamed away.

9/24/17 around 7pm. My wife and I were traveling on RT2N, between the Market St Bridge and Veterans Bridge. As I pass the Market St Bridge, I notice 2 small Green Lights hovering above the road, about 85ft up, just sitting there. I drove directly underneath of it, both of us were leaned forward looking up at it. It appeared to be about 5ft in diameter. As I pass underneath and merge to get onto the Veterans bridge now heading E into Steubenville OH I am looking back at it the whole time. As I get onto the bridge it starts moving slowly across the water maintaining its height traveling SE into OH. I tried to slow down as much as possible without causing a safety issue with the traffic, until It was out of sight. It was too big to be a personal drone. No way our local small-town news has any type of weather drone of that significance. Who knows, just super weird. Coordinates of where it was hovering 40.376016, -80.603570 Witness indicates that the date above is approximate. PD

Driving on the bridge in New Hope, Pa., decided to take a picture of the water. Once I got home I looked through all the pictures I took that day and noticed the one with the water , at the top left corner was a shining circle and seemed like a cloud on it. My phone is an iPhone 7 so when you take a picture you get about 5 seconds of video. I zoomed in and held the screen down and it was moving around with rings around the circle. This was at 10:03 am. We have yet to see the photos. Possible lens flares?? PD

Tonight, around dusk, I was feeding my cats, when I looked up to the sky and saw a round object. It was a solid ball of light. No colors just a bright light. It moved slow and emitted no sound. As it got closer, I looked down for a split second, looked back up and it was gone. The sky was clear, there were no clouds for it to go behind. I am a housewife from Southeastern, Ky.

I was walking our dog and saw 2 orange lights coming over from the north. At first I thought they were helicopters with their spotlights dimmed. They spread out some then the one to my right went straight up. It was a clear night with high cirus clouds and it made it into the clouds in I'd guess 5-8 seconds. No sound from either one. I was hoping a car would come by so someone else would see it. I saw a man walking away from me and I yelled at him to look up. He came over and we watched waiting for the other to also go up into the clouds. It stayed at I'd guess 1500 feet for another minute or so then it also went straight up into the clouds. I had a hard time keeping the other man's attention on the orange lights, I typically carry a pistol and he kept wanting to talk about my gun. I finally told him we can talk about guns anytime, but this was once in a lifetime. The next night when I went to walk our dog he and 2 other young people were at the sa! me spot looking for the UFO's to return, so apparently he was paying more attention to them than I'd thought. I considered Chinese lanterns but the speed they it when they went vertical had to be something like mach 3. No sonic booms though. No structure, just the lights were visible to us. On the video I tried to take with my cell phone there are small white lights dropping down which I'd not noticed as I was trying to video them. They may be some sort of optical illusion though, they're bright white, the first looked like a falling star then the others were smaller. I don't know what they are, I videoed the next night to see if they were reflections or something and they didn't show up on that video but it seems I'd have noticed them had they actually been like shooting stars so I do think it's something unrelated to the orange lights.

I let my dog out this evening, while waiting for him to finish, i admired the night sky and saw what looked like a star moving. I stared at it for a while in disbelief and then it started moving again, it made several different shapes or patterns while blinking in several different colors. The object made a triangle, a circle, semi-circles, s and c patterns as well as move back and forth. The object looked like it was communicating with a similar shaped object via these patterns. The other object looked like it only had one color (light orange) but also blinked as it moved. The second object only moved after the first one, it looked like the second one was acknowledging whatever the first object was trying to communicate. I wittnessed this behavior for over an hour, I went back into my house and grabbed my wife and son to verify what i was looking at. My wife told me it was an airplane, so I showed her 3 airplanes moving in the night sky, I asked her to look again and after a few moments she reported seeing exactly what i was seeing, we watched for a few more minutes until she got too scared to continue looking at it. I went back inside to get my father, he did not care and stayed in bed so i woke my mother and asked her to come outside with me and look at something. My mother saw what my wife and i saw and was actually the one to point out the second object, she does not know what they are but pointed lo ut that they looked like they were both doing the same thing. I called a ufo reporting hotline which ive never done in my life. I was told to get wittnesses to the event, which i did. I was also told to identify stars and constellations using a smartphone astronomy app which i also did. At this time the second object was no longer in The sky. The first object apeared to be in the vicinity of Camelopardalis, however I could not place the object against anything definitive on the app. Im 31 years old, I look at the n! ight sky quite often but ive never seen anything like this bef! ore i am confident this was not an airplane or a twinkling star, ive seen both. to add to my background i am also an eagle scout. It is 1am now and im taking the time to do this report because i believe what i saw.

Me and my boyfriend were driving home and I looked in the sky there were 2 bright lights against the clear starry black sky, it literally looked like a cars headlights in the sky. Two round bright lights right next to each other brighter than all the satrs around. I asked my boyfriend if he saw them too and he did. You have to think I live basically on a mountain and we were in the valley before my home about to drive up the mountain, these lights were up way higher than any of the trees on the top near my house. Once we get to the top it's all fields and trees, we looked around the sky everywhere and by now the lights should have been right above us from where we first saw them a mere 4 minutes before, and they were gone, just disappeared without a trace .

Large bright solid circle low in southern sky. Sat stationary in sky, no sound. A red light was blinking below it in sky. Red light then traveled up to the circle and it starting moving northwest in sky and then completely disappeared from sight.

Driving south on Inwood towards Woodbury, cornfields on both sides of road, directly in front to the right of the car above (approx a football field above) the treeline my daugher and I saw a very bright light with a green hue underneath. This ball of light moved with speed in which could not have been anything man made. It moved from right to left at about the speed, as if you move your head as fast as you can from one side to the other. It than shot directly up into the sky and was gone in a matter of seconds. Never seen anything like it and can not explain it.
