New Port Richey, FL
I was driving to work I had my daughter and mother in the vehicle with me as we all work together at same place. I seen a orange light in the sky, my mom thought it was a plane but me and my daughter thought it was definitely not! Next thing you know the light has a trail behind it rapidly growing longer and longer it had colors inside the trail of whites and orange and yellow and it was stretching across the sky not up or down. As the trail got longer the orange light disappeared. I was looking for anything in the news and found nothing, no rocket, no comets, zilch. But 32 miles away my boyfriend captured a video of the same sighting.

Light traveling across the sky leaving white trail behind. Then a bright flash and the object was gone.

Downey, CA
I was washing my car at the time while on the phone. I look up to see a bright light, brighter than any star in the sky stay in one spot for a second then fade away. I did not see any movement or pulsation, just the fading out. It was a lone, white light.

At the time the cloud ceiling was 4800 AGL(Above Ground Level),we are at 4047 MSL(Mean Sea Level) there was plus ten miles visibility, no moon, no stars. I am a commercial pilot/flight instructor with 10,000 plus hours of flight time and I have never seen anti collision lights that bright and amber on any airships in all the time I've been aware of the night sky's along with airplanes flying at night.

Hartselle, AL
My 29 year old son was traveling Interstate 65 south from Decatur Al going home from work. Approaching the Hartselle exit he noticed these lights in the sky around 5:39pm and stopped to photograph them. Multiple cars were also stopped taking photos. The lights in the image seem to be oblong but he said that was his camera as the lights were a solid circle. They hung around about 5 minutes then disappeared. I don’t know what they would want in Hartselle but Redstone Arsenal is in Huntsville,Al, about 25-30 minutes away by car. I’m assuming a few seconds in ufo speed.

Chesterfield, VA
Driving down Centralia rd going SE, I happened to have something catch my eye, and I looked up and exclaimed to my husband and kids in the backseat (young children), “Look a falling Star!!l but a closer look would suggest this was no falling star, as there was no trail, and the color was a blue light in a circle shape that changed to a bright green color within seconds as it fell toward the ground. I would say it was closer than any other object I have seen in the sky before like airplanes or shooting stars. It fell slowly and then disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye after about 5-7 seconds. Me and my husband were in awe and excited to have witnessed this! Sad we were not able to get pictures in time.

Steinbach (Canada), MB · Canada
First, let me say I don't know if this was a craft, or a falling star. On December 17 2019. While driving down the 52 Highway heading towards Steinbach, Manitoba, at 10:26 pm or 22:26… After the event I looked at the clock in the vehicle. What I saw...A ball of light falling at a great speed towards the ground, it lasted only a few seconds 10- 15 seconds then very quickly dimmed out of sight. As if a dimmer switch was quickly used and then it was out. This light was circular had no tail or trail behind it. Only one was seen. I do not know the height it was falling from. I would say it appeared to be lower then an airplane would be. It was not extremely bright, more dull but still bright enough that I clearly saw it.

Sea Ranch, CA
My husband and I saw a strange phenomenon in a very dark western sky from approximately 8 to 8:15PM on December 16, 2019, while staying at Sea Ranch, CA in a rental. The sky was incredibly clear and crisp. At first we thought it could be a military aircraft maneuver but its rapid movement up and down and back again and its remaining in the same area of the sky for approximately 10 minutes was puzzling. There was definitely 1 and possibly 2, that appeared as a white, starlike shape from your selection of shapes. It's hard to say how far away this object was, so it's appearance as a light was all we could make out. It was probably 100s of miles up in the sky. Then, about 8:15 PM light clouds obscured our view.

Janesville, WI
The object was first witnessed by a family member at around 5 pm on their way home from work. At 5:15 pm we all went outside and witnessed a bright light southwest of Janesville. It looked like a very bright star but wasn't that high in the sky. We observed the bright light through binoculars and it looked like 3 separate lights. It was the same brightness from first noticing it at 5 pm until about 5:30 pm and stayed in the same spot. Then it started dimming and slowly moving north. It stopped and it got very bright again, then dimmed until not visible. Then at about 6 pm it was moving north again while continually dimming and getting brighter until it was out of sight at about 6:07 pm.

I was standing outside, casually looking up at the sky while I was on the phone, when I saw a flash of blue lights quickly skim across the sky. It was very high up, but very noticeable to the naked eye.

I’ve observed this craft for almost two weeks and I’m not entirely sure what it is. It might be a drone or a UFO, but it is certainly not an airplane, helicopter, or satellite because its movement patterns conflict with aerodynamic animations typical in planes and helicopters and it’s too fluid to be a satellite. The craft exhibits sporadic unidirectional movements without the buffering process of reorientation. For example, this vehicle can change directions without backing up or turning around. Additionally, it’s capable of hovering in the air for hours, or speeding (however, I’ve never observed any brisk movements, it mostly hovers around the same region for hours) which is uncharacteristic of planes and helicopters, but not drones (depending on the type, if it is a drone it’s incredibly expensive). The vehicle in question emerges exclusively during the evening, roughly between 12 AM and 3 AM, and lingers for three to five hours. Maybe it stays longer, bu! t I’ve never managed to stay up long enough to witness it. The craft possesses white lights, which amplify in certain contexts. For example, an almost indiscernible second craft approached the hovering, distinguishable vehicle and both brightened when in close proximity of each other. The indistinguishable craft immediately disappeared after, following with a bright projectile shooting from the sky. Firstly, I couldn’t tell if the amplified lights were strobe lights or solid lights, and what I’m describing might indicate drone collision lights. I researched drone collision lights and they’re functional during the full extent of drone-operation. Sensor-activated collision lights sound perfectly plausible, but I’m struggling to find any examples. Secondly, the bright projectile resembled a “shooting star” and it’s not the first time I’ve seen these “shooting stars” projected from/around this vehicle. However, correlation does not equal causation and they may be unrelated. Another detail to add, however, is that two distinct light proj! ectiles *appeared* to shoot from the isolated craft in a separate occurrence. But, I’ve only witnessed two occurrences of light projectiles coinciding with the craft, so I’m guessing it’s just a regular meteor. I am in no way assigning any definitive explanation because there’s a lot I don’t know. Do what you will and feel free to ask any questions.

Denver, CO
Driving home from Montbello (Denver) to Brighton- my husband and I see several lights, too many to count! It started as a circle and the lights multiplied and the circle shape became huge! Some lights appeared and others disappeared. It was like they were performing. At one point all the lights went all ways and one went right over us. We were so shocked my husband stopped right in the middle of the street. All the lights looked like they were coming from above and all the sudden they all became one light and then there was nothing. The lights all were white color.

Jupiter, FL
I was at Jonathan Dickinson State Park for a Boys Scout camp out, it was Sunday morning when I was the first one up I was "using the bathroom" when I looked up at the night sky, then I saw a light (looked the same as a star) move right then stopped. Then I saw it move again this time to the left a little farther than where I originally saw it. The object was also flashing slowly when it started to move.

Driving east on route 6, a blue stream appeared, paused and took off into the cloud cover. Similar to a shooting star, but was bright blue.

Portsmouth, NH
Falling light seen over Portsmouth on my drive home. Bright white light fell from approximately 1000 feet up. Fell in a straight line very rapidly and extinguished before the ground. Happened again in about the same place 2 minutes later on my drive. One more instance from much closer about 3 minutes later.

Rhome, TX
As me and two relatives drove north on 287 from Haslet. While driving a Circular and definitely way Brighter than any star I've seen grabbed all of our attention. It was up high on the left (west) side of the fwy. It looked like a star was falling at a fast speed then the round light seemed to have control again and started going up. The space craft seemed to do what it seemed to me like between a "J" and a "U" then dissapeared towards the end of the "J" to an extremely high speed away to what I believe was west but then dissapeared. We have never experienced anything like it or have seen something so bazaar or so quick. Our radio also went a bit staticky but wasn't sure if it was just a coincidence.

Oklahoma City, OK
I saw a beam of light moving faster than I've ever seen anything move before, going several directions, moving in a way no machine could. I thought it may have been lights used for advertising but the directions and speed this was moving in was not only impossible but also wouldn't make any sense.

Bright green flash dart across half the sky in less than half a second - color was bright green but unlike any other bright green I have ever seen. looked like an abject with circular light ring around it moved in and out of sight quick. As fast as a shooting star but way larger.

Eglin AFB, FL
I just turned into the Eglin test range coming off of highway 331 to Segrest Road headed to work at Eglin Site C-6. When I started to drive down the road I saw a giant ball of glowing white light on the left side of the trees. So I looked up at it and for about 2 more seconds it was visible before it zipped off in a perfectly straight horizontal line just above the tree line. It was about the size of a basketball about 30 feet in the air. It was solid white with no plum or other color. There was no trail of light and there was also no sound what so ever. I did see there was a major meteor shower tonight but the characteristics do not match that of a meteor. This is the second time I have seen a giant white flying zipping around in the night in this exact area. Lastly, I have over 11 years experience working on aircraft and I am familiar with all types of aircraft and their exhausts in this area.

Arbutus, MD
Two yellow lights were flying over the Power line causing the street lines to flicker constantly for about 2-3 minutes. At first I did not understand what was going on and continue to drive down the street and returned to my home.

Chanhassen, MN
I was driving home the evening of Saturday, December 14th, heading East along MN Highway 5, when I noticed above the tree line and slightly south of the road (which runs east to west) a pair of very bright orange lights hovering in mid-air. They were stationary and did not move for a few seconds, and all of a sudden they both moved downward at an incredible speed, with seemingly no acceleration. As they descended, it seemed that they came together a bit, to form what would have been a V, with both of their original positions as the top forks of the V, and their trajectory heading downward toward a common point. The left light started to descend first, followed after a split second by the right light. They seemed to move at the same speed, though it was so fast that I couldn't measure the speed. Suddenly they were gone, and I watched, waiting for them to return, but saw nothing.

Anthem, AZ
Bright round light in the Northern sky shortly after sunset. It was heading slightly downward and diagonally at a slow velocity; too slow to be a shooting star. It came to a stop and headed upwards maintaining that same slow speed. It then turned to the right and moved parallel to the ground and went behind some clouds. It emerged from the clouds and headed in the opposite direction. Eventually, it went behind more clouds and was not seen again.
