The Hague (near; on main highway)(Netherlands) · Netherlands
While driving on the main highway towards The Hague in the morning, my family and I noticed 2 hovering lights in the sky. The sky was clear and we could see a helicopter in the distance. The lights were bright and large. It is in a busy fly route and we see planes and helicopters fly in the area on a regular basis but this did not look like any plane nor helicopter due to its "behavior". After a few minutes the lights disappeared. The lights were located north west.

The light was really bright, and really white as well. It appeared as though the object(s) moved from the left of my window to the right. I was just trying to get some sleep because I have school the next day, and then all of a sudden I see two really bright lights flash and light my room up for roughly 5 seconds. Each flash lasted about 2.5 seconds. From the way the light looked the objects might have been orbs of some sort, maybe even a saucer.

Hudge light in s west sky comes out just before dark,staying in the sky up to 4-5hrs. Sometimes it moves slightly, usually standing totaly still? On 11/26/16 around 7:30-8:00pm, we watched it go out, as it did often then turn back on, however,at this time, it shut brite light out and we could see small lights on object on as it moved in an eastern direction, almost overhead of us, when it tirned back on for a moment, before turning completly off and disappear completely from site

I was driving with the boyfriend when we saw three orbs of light in the sky in the shape of a triangle. One of them started moving until they finally went out of view.

Vero Beach, FL
At 8pm on Fri. was on cell phone with a girlfriend sitting in a parking lot outside my condo on north AIA in Vero Beach, Fl, and observed a reddish/ orange glowing roundish light coming from the ocean direction. It was quite high, so thought it was an airplane's headlights about to land at the nearby airport. But oddly, the object didn't seem to turn, it seemed to "float across the sky from east toward the west crossing over Hwy AiA. Within seconds saw another identical object on the same path. Within the next 20 to 30 minutes, objects greatly increased in number with same "glow" and were really close to each other. It looked like floating Chinese lanterns, and within the next 20 minutes, as many as 2 dozen of these glowing objects had passed over A1A appearing to make a really wide circle in the sky. Informed my friend of this usual phenomenon as we continued to chat. Because I was speaking to her, it never occurred to me to video it with my cell phone. Rather, I passed it off as some type of local celebration...i.e. A Chinese celebration?...of which I was unaware. I spoke about 30 minutes with my friend, all the while these objects were "floating by." Not a single neighbor came into the parking lot for me to point this oddity out to them. I did see several cars pass my building on Hwy A1A and pointed to the sky, but none stopped to look. Upon entering my apt, I googled for information about this "light show" but as of now, haven't read anything that explains their presence.

My dad and I watched 5 orange orbs in the sky southeast of Bedford for just over a minute. They were not moving a lot, and during that time, 4 of them faded from view, or may have been obscured by clouds.

Oldsmar, FL
This was not truly an UFO as I did not see it fly. What happened was that my dog noticed and went to sniff this dull cream colored sphere that looked like a deflated balloon sitting on the mulch near my front door. My dog took one sniff and left it alone. It was about 5"-6" diameter and some crazy reason I had to go and reach out to it. As soon as I was about to touch it, it changed to look like a white opalescent glass globe, kind you see on top of the decorative neighborhood light posts (like in my neighborhood), but half the size. I put my hand on it and it felt just like glass. I tried to move it as it was obviously in wrong place but I was unable to shift it. It was like welded to the ground. I was thinking how peculiar place they have put the light as there was nothing pretty about the mulch. The lights were not on yet on the street lights. About an hour later I took my dog out again and the sphere was gone. Not only was it gone but there was nothing showing on the mulch or the ground that the sphere had been there. I was alone in the building this Thanksgiving day so I could not ask anyone if they had seen it too. NUFORC Noe: We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she assured us that her report is sincere. She sounded to us to be quite eloquent, and serious-minded. PD

Poteau, OK
My husband is an over the road truck driver and we were passing through Poteau, OK, at approx. 01:43 CST when out of the corner of my eye I saw a green light that seemed to zigzag. I looked in the direction of the light and saw a almost perfectly green light hovering in the sky. It hovered for approximately 3 seconds in which time I alerted my husband, who was driving. All of a sudden the light shot across a short distance then disappeared completely from the sky. There was no trailing light or tail and it was too large to be a shooting star. We watched the sky for another 15-20 minutes but didn't see any sign of the bright green light or anything else. It wasn't like a neon green or even a bright bright green. It was about the color of spring grass but bright. I have never saw anything like it and neither has my husband.

Oshawa (Canada), ON · Canada
I am a 55 y/o male, single, and live by myself in the East suburbs near Toronto, Canada. This is important to this event, as it means I was in my home alone, with no one to catch a missing time event. Although I completely believe in aliens and UFO's, I have never seen one before. My background is in both Accounting and Computer Technology. On the night of Nov 22nd, 2016, I had my AM radio set to listen to Coast2Coast at 9pm as I often do. However, that night's repeat program of the previous night was about The US Dollar and such, and the topic did not interest me. I turned off the radio and set it aside. I browsed the Internet for a short period of less than 1/2 hour or so, and decided to go to bed. Glancing at the clock, I remember it to be approx 9:30pm. Maybe 9:25pm Closing the living room blinds, I noticed 2 aircraft outside in the sky. That is common, as there is a nearby airport. However, both craft were stationary, and I could not hear any sound of helicopters. The bodies of the crafts were not visible, just a single dim yellow light, and a stronger red light that was flashing. I assumed them to be standard hovering helicopters, with an aviation beacon on the bottom. If you held a ruler up against the window, the craft would have been about 10" apart, which was close enough that I could see both together. I thought it strange that two craft were allowed to fly so close to each other. I glanced to the right (South / East ) over Lake Ontario, and saw a very bright and large star. However, the star was fiercely shimmering/twinkling, and was larger than any star I've seen. It was round, and seemed to be spinning. Every colour was flashing in split seconds. Red/Green/Blue/White/Yellow. Like as diamond - flashing rainbow colours of light. But clearly spinning. My eyes went back and forth between the 2 stationary crafts and the "star" and I blurted out "They're watching it too!!" At this point, I became excited at the thought it may be a UFO, as I have never seen one before. I grabbed a pair of binoculars from a cabinet next to me, and tried to view the "star" through the window but it was not clear. The binoculars are inexpensive 7x35 magnification. Next to the window, is a door to my patio. Standing in the doorway, I looked directly South / East over Lake Ontario at the "star", looking at it with bare eyes, watching it spin with fantastic split-second colours. I held up the binoculars, and tried to focus more, but the focus was almost at the 'infinity' setting of the focus ring, and no fine adjustment could improve the view. However, the binoculars did allow me to see the same round shape, clearly spinning, showing amazing colours. But no further definition of the object. I said out loud, "We see you. We're watching you, whatever you are." Jokingly expecting it to respond by zooming away. It did not. It was far too large to be a star. I became very excited and scrambled to put on shoes and coat and grabbed my cell phone to take a picture. I ran outside. The sky was jet black, and I could see the 'star' clearly. Also, I looked to my left (North) and vertically upward and could see lights of the 2 craft hovering in the same position above me. Still only could see each as a dim yellow light, with a red flashing beacon light next to it. I was not interested in them, and did not pay much attention to any of their specs. I turned my attention back to the spinning 'star'. I was clearly spinning and showing fantastic lights. Binoculars confirmed the object to be round, spinning , and multi coloured. No further definition. I was panicking at what to do next. I did not want to lose the moment. I held my cell phone up at arm's length to the 'star' and it only appeared as a tiny white dot in the screen. At arm's length, I could see both the tiny picture dot on the screen and the actual 'star' in the distance, just above the phone. I knew that would show nothing in a photo. I decided to try the movie application, thinking that it may better show the fantastic light show, rather than a still picture dot. I brought my cell phone close to me and pressed the buttons to start the movie mode, and stretched my arms out again with the cell phone at arm's length trying to find the white dot ( the spinning star) again. The dot was nowhere to be found on the screen, so I looked at the actual sky, and the 'star' was now just a teeny tiny dot in the dark sky. The same size as a star would expected to be. Far off in the distance out over Lake Ontario. This actual star in the night sky did not register on my camera screen at all now. It was too small. The spinning 'star' had gone. I looked back toward the 2 craft and saw only dark night sky. They were also gone. Higher in the sky over Lake Ontario was the constellation Orion. Because the night sky was so dark and clear, I could see all the stars, especially the 3 of the belt. Following the belt downward, I could see Sirius. It was certainly not the spinning colourful object I had been watching. My cell phone has Stellarium on it. I opened the app and held my phone up to confirm Orion and Sirius, but I already knew them. I stood there in disbelief. I was angry. I was emotionally upset and frustrated. I had lost my chance to record the spinning object. I had been rushing in a frantic state trying to capture something I knew could end at any time. And I did not succeed. This whole event from first seeing them outside the other window to re-entering my home, lasted only about 10 minutes. It was fast and furious. And now I was emotionally upset. Turned back to the door, I went inside and went on the Internet on a computer within steps of the door. I Google'd Orion and Sirius and confirmed the stars I now saw were those I already knew. But what happened to the larger spinning ball? I walked over the doorway again, and stared up at the night sky, hoping it would happen again. But nothing. Dejected, I turned around and walked back inside. The clock on the cabinet showed 12:30am WHAT?? I had just went to close the blinds at 9:30pm !! Where did 3 hours go ??!!! As stated, the above activity was in a frantic state to try and not miss the event. It was in no way near a 3 hour event. I tried to pad the events' time by judging maybe I spent more time on Google searching Orion / Sirius. Even if I did that for 1/2 an hour ( which I believe to be grossly incorrect) and if I stood on the patio for 1/2 hour in frustration, I'm still missing a couple of hours of time. I was tired, angry, frantic. I didn't know what do next. I paced around my home for 3 hours trying to calm down. Finally I gave up around 4am, and went to bed. I don't know why this event made me so frantic and upset. It is now 4 days later, and I can't get it out of my system. I told family and a friend about it, and they gave me the typical sympathetic look like I've come unglued. Posting this on the website to share. I have no answers. Only more questions.

Miramar Beach, FL
I was on vacation from 11/19-11/26/16 in Destin Florida, specifically Miramar Beach and staying at Maravilla Condos on Scenic Gulf Highway. I got up most all mornings and took sunrise and sunset pictures. Most of the time due to glare and using a Samsung S6 phone I usually couldn’t view my pictures that well until after I came back into the condo. On this particularly clear morning I came back in and later in the day checked the pictures I had taken that day. At first I thought I had taken picture of the moon as well as the sun. Then realized the moon wasn’t in a full stage nor have been that close to the sun. In enlarging the pictures on my phone and again now on my computer, I pick up a distinct looking sphere which almost appears to have 4 windows on it. Many of the pictures I took from the same standing point. The object however did not stay in the same place in the photo. It had moved in all pictures. Again, I did not see this during taking them nor was focusing on it. The sun is so bright coming up that you probably couldn’t have seen anything else in the sky but the sun at this point anyway. I always take a series of pictures to make sure I get at least a couple good ones that I can put on my computer for a screen saver. I have 8 pictures where this object appears. Even moving into the sand dunes very close to where I was standing. If you enlarge the closest 1 of those, you can almost see a head like object with what appears to be 2 eyes in this small slice of an object that appears right over the sphere. In no other pictures I took throughout my entire vacation did this object appear in any picture so it wasn’t something on my phone camera lense.

Fishers, IN
A set of light orbs seen in the sky over eastern Fishers, IN, for more than 2 hours (it is still occurring as this is typed). Many people within the neighborhood are standing outside watching. Some report that this same thing happened in 2011. At first they were expected to be spotlights as you can occasionally see a slight trail as they pass through clouds. However, they seem to have no continuous pattern or looping effect that is used on a spotlight. The light intensity varied as did the number of orbs. Maybe a meteorological phenomenon, maybe spotlights, but definitely strange.

Methuen, MA
I was coming down the highway (specifically i93 North) and right near exit 46-47, I noticed a few lights in the sky, towards the southwest, much closer to earth compared to the surrounding stars, (I verified this later on, viewing the lights through my binoculars from my kitchen window) and I knew something was different because the stars were so dim, and these lights were so bright, and one of these lights even had a diamond shape to it, with a vertical light coming down from the main point of horizontal light on the top. (the best description I have for this shape are those concept photos of what cloud cities would look like on Venus) I felt a drop in my stomach because at first, I honestly thought it was an incoming meteor and even swerved my car out of shock from these lights. They were clearly spinning and blinking blue and white lights, and the other few objects, other than the cloud city-looking one, almost had a saucer shape to them when I looked through binoculars when I arrived home. (which these lights were totally visible the entire night, from the highway and then from my home in Methuen as well) I grabbed my iPhone and started recording when I got home, and when I was watching the video I took from my street, you can't see much, but you can tell that although the lights were stationary, they were clearly moving and hovering, and you can even see the succession of colors it was giving off. Now at first, I thought these may have been drones, but I witnessed them stay aligned in a swooping line under the moon and continue to blink and hover in the same exact position until 3:30am the following morning! I had my father verify that these lights were indeed there and that I was not crazy for thinking there were strange lights locked in with the moon's path across the night sky. He isn't a believer either, but he was stumped by what we were witnessing, and even took a few looks through the binoculars to make sure they w! ere really there hovering! What's even more interesting, is that two n ights later, when the clouds broke for a few at night, I could see the possibly saucer-shaped, blue and white flashing light again, in the same exact position, not moving but clearly hovering and spinning! I have been doing some research, and the only possible report of UFOs that matched my description, were seen traversing in front of the sun and interacting with said star two days before I saw what I saw; they were blue and white orbs and they were witnessed possibly taking energy from our sun, and I am starting to wonder if what I saw was maybe one of these orbs, much smaller, viewing the Earth and keeping a close eye as there mothership interacts with our sun (maybe to prevent the earthlings from acting on this giant object near our sun!) who knows, I just know what I saw and I will try to figure out a way to post the videos I have, zoomed in and more focused on the objects.

Fremont, WI
3 bright orbs at sunset looking west while driving HWY 10, east aprox. 5 miles from Fremont. Appearing in one position in the sky to disappear and reappear as soon as it disappeared in a different location. One orb disappearing at a time. One by one all orbs were gone. Duration of 6-9 seconds. Once I arrived home in Stevens Point, I told my roommate of experience and he had same experience looking southward except he saw the lights at two different occasions in the same area of the sky around exactly the time I had. Based on where we both saw the lights a triangulation to where we were and where we saw the lights puts them over the Plainfield/Almond area.

While walking my dog with my dad a glowing green orb flew over me and my dad. It was going about 40 mph and was slightly above the trees. The orb was about the size of a small car. This happened at some point around 2016-2017. I had a few strange dreams afterwards and would sometimes wake up with puncture marks.

While star gazing and looking at the super moon in a telescope on a clear bright evening, man and woman noticed a bright, orange orb-like light flashing across the horizon for about 10 seconds. The light seemed to be morphing across the sky. The movement started slowly and then rapidly occurred. Then all of a sudden, disappeared.

I was camping by myself at Trimmer campground on Pine Flat Lake in the Sierra Nevadas. I woke up at 1 A.M after falling asleep in my car to warm up. When I woke up I looked down at the lake and saw a very bright white light shining bright sitting right on top of the water on the edge closest to me. I reached for my phone which showed it was at 6% and I brought it up to take a video and it died immediately. I didn't want to scare it away by starting the car to charge my phone, so I watched without taking my eyes off of the object for about an hour. It was very bright, white when I first saw it and over some time it dimmed down at times going underwater and moving around. When it went underwater I could still see the light smaller and less bright underwater moving. Eventually, I thought it had disappeared and I had to get out to use the restroom. As I opened the door, I kept my eyes on the lake. It reappeared very bright, right when I opened the door. Then it! dimmed and shot under water and further away. I used the restroom got back in the car and continued to watch the seemingly intelligent orb or unidentified object reacting to the noise I had made. On the right side of the lake, there were two blinking lights signaling boaters to avoid something floating in the water. The unidentified light lined up next to the flashing lights and started flashing, as though mimicking the flashing lights. It then traveled mostly underwater, at times peaking up further away until I could not see it anymore.

Auburn, WA
Sighting – 11/12/16 9:10 PST I, ((name deleted)), stepped out of my garage and walked toward our house. I happened to look to the generally eastern sky, and saw an object that appeared to be on fire in flight. It appeared to be perhaps 1-2 miles away and perhaps an altitude of 1000-2000 feet. We live just 10 miles or so from Seatac Airport, so are very used to seeing aircraft. I pulled out my iPhone6 and thought that I had begun filming shortly after first noticing it, but later determined that I wasn’t and started. I got 21 seconds of video, but not nearly as close as at first. My total observation was probably just less than a minute, which means the object might have been moving roughly 100 MPH. There was little wind, when I checked the Auburn weather, the last report was just 3 MPH at 9:55 PM. The object attracted my attention for several reasons. One, it was the color of and appeared to be on fire. Two, I couldn’t discern that it was making any noise. Three, it moved from that eastern view toward Seattle (a Northerly direction) until it disappeared behind a distant cloudbank. It appeared to maintain a constant trajectory and speed. Relative to the almost full moon (sky very clear for Seattle), the object was perhaps 1/10 of the size of the moon. I have seen satellites and even the Space Station in orbit, and this was not in orbit and dramatically larger looking.
