Driving southbound on I-5, leaving Longview me and wife saw a extremely bright light hovering in a low position over the freeway we took the next exit to get a another look it was gone this was not a plane or helicopter it was a extremely intense ball of light hovering in one spot when we turned around there was nothing it was gone and it only took me 1 min to get to exit 32 where I could turn around. We have corrected the time and date above, to reflect a sighting at 1905 hrs. on January 06th, 2017, not 2016. Source assures us that he is familiar with most celestial bodies…stars and planets…and that the object he saw was not either one. PD

We have been seeing this weird object in the sky, for the past 3 days, from 6 pm to around 7 pm. It is a wild flash and when looked through a telescope it is shaped like a round circle. It is also spinning as we look through the telescope. Sighting of Venus?? PD

The second night there were more probably 30. They just kept coming. My grandson went to school the nrxt morning at 8:00 am and he saw 2 that morning. The third night, tonight, there were fewer maybe 6 or 7 and there were a lot of planes circling them. I assume that this was the Air Force because I live next to McChord AFB and Ft. Lewis Army base. I just came in from outside and there are still 7 or 8 out there. They just keep coming. These things are round with white and red flashing lights. There is no sound coming from them. The first day one of them was close enough for me to see it pretty well it was dark so I could see the lights blinking and I heard nothing.. no sound. It flew directly into my parking lot. In the beginning I thought that it might be a drone but it was round...drones aren't round. Also, the other ones were flying at a very high altitude. Tonight, they were up there with the planes. I know that I cannot be the only eyes that see these things and I've heard nothing on the news or on the internet. This activity is far from normal. Something is not right here.

I was trying to see moon from my telescope, and all of a sudden, blue light appeared from left side of the moon and went to right side. Changed light once to red and back to blue before I started recording. It was not a full moon, but in the video I took it appears full round some how. Blue circle was moving very fast and different patterns. Blue light was very bright. At once it was going towards incoming airplane and than all of a sudden it changed direction. I'll send video clip that I took. Just trying to figure out what was the object I saw that night?

Four to five floating orange dots, large glow. One at a very high altitude (maybe at a jet cruising altitude) they floated up and continued to spread out.

I was observing the night sky on January 1st, 2017, between 2:30 am and 3:00 am, when I saw 6-8 lights about the size of Venus in formation traveling West across the sky. The formation was about the size of the moon and took approximately 8 seconds from when I seen the objects, to where I couldn't see them anymore. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be quite serious-minded. We suspect he is a quite reliable witness. PD

I know it's late reporting this, it was around 12:19 am 01/01/2017 I was in my back yard letting my dog out, when I looked up at a red and white object moving slow towards the east, their was no noise and it kept changing colors from white to red, I know it wasn't an air plane because their were no running lights that you see on air crafts, I have a video of it, I have shown my friends this video, and they say it doesn't look like a plane.

Noticed bright orange object traveling at high rate of speed traveling from the south to north. Over the two hours we noticed one at a time fly over us with no sound, no contrail. Object was very bright orange, but once it went by, the back side had no color & would fade away.

I want to say there were three lights to each cluster, but not sure, as it also seems there could have been more. The object was very low to the ground, I thought, and almost directly above my dog and me. It was very cloudy around the lights and the area in the middle of the lights, but the lights were clearly defined. I don't remember the night being exceptionally cloudy, though, it could have been. There was no detectable sound. It seems like the lights were turning, but it's kind of surreal, so not sure now. The lights were just white, no color. It just sat in the one place. I texted my kids about what I saw and went back into the house, and it was still there when I went in.

I walked outside and saw 3 orange lights in a row, flying as if they were planes coming into land. After a couple minutes I realized there wasn't an airport close and that there were no flashing lights. I lived next to BWI Airport for 20 years so I'm aware of what planes look like at night. They were orange with no flashing. After another minute the top light stayed still, the middle light moved over right and the bottom moved upwards and they formed a triangle. I stood outside for 3-4 minutes watching this happen, until I needed to grab someone. I went inside and grabbed someone very quickly and went back outside, it only took 10 seconds of my sight off the lights. When I was back outside they were gone. That's it, just like that.

There were at least ten red and some white circles crossing the sky. They were very slow and there was no sound. Three were group in the shape of a triangle. The triangle moved very slow and disappeared.

Me and my brother was sitting on the roof talking and soul 2 white lights shoot across the sky shortly after that of light pointing straight down shot in the same direction towards the Horizon didn't hear any sound but it was fast don't know where it came from but for the past month in the sky along with the Stars it looks as if the stars themselves will move from the position that they're in and move across the sky until they disappeared so imagine a star sitting in one spot and all of a sudden start moving this is kind of like the event that happened today just with a bigger Flash they came out of nowhere and was gone

My husband and I love star gazing, own a telescope, and are very familiar with the ufo phenomenon. For a few weeks now we have noticed these amazing lights in the sky. We decided to try and catch them on camera. Unfortunately, we only have a cheap Android phone, so we used it to our best ability before the crafts were gone and the phone lost battery. To get a closer look, we set up our stakeout on our roof. After a cold night and hours later, it appeared again like it had nights before. It began as a circle bright white light moving from south to the north quite faster than anything we had ever seen then it suddenly stopped a few blocks away and hovered over a house for only 2 seconds (as we are scrambling for the camera its light begins to get brighter and turning bright orange and then takes off so quickly back south) we didn't catch footage of this one. But we thought we could stay longer and see if it returns. Well to our surprise another craft flew by maybe an hour later. This one looked much different. It was almost cone shaped (like the orange caution cones) with a bright green light at the top as it was sort of descending down it began to pick up speed again and in the video you can hear me say its not green anymore. Suddenly, it zoomed off to the east were the sun was still rising changing to a bright yellow light. The oddest part about this is the way it would dissapear an then flash the light ever 2 seconds. But each time it appeared it was in a different position it wasnt flying a straight path. Flash up flash forward flash down. Sorry the video couldn't be better quality.

Texhoma, TX
My cousin and I were driving around our ranch 30 miles south of the town of Texhoma in the Panhandle of Texas on the night of December 27th, 2016, from about 7:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Below is a detailed account of an object we saw in the sky that night. I will email videos. At about 7:15 p.m., I commented on how bright the stars were to my cousin and while looking at the sky I noticed a bright light in the west-northwest direction from us that was too large and too bright to be a star in the sky. I commented on it, but my cousin and I didn’t think too much of it as we thought it was a plane passing through. A few minutes passed by, and I turned my attention back to the stars and noticed the light again. It didn’t appear to have moved from when I initially saw it just a few minutes before. We talked about how that was kind of odd so we watched it for maybe 2-3 minutes. It was hard to gauge the distance between us and the object being that it was already dark outside. I would estimate it was somewhere around 5-10 miles away. The object appeared to be moving but at a pretty slow pace. At this point in the night the object looked like a big circular bright light in the sky. We quickly lost interest in the object again and ended up driving about 40 miles north to another ranch of ours located on the north side of Texhoma. It was about 8:15 p.m. and I looked up to the sky and saw the object again. It was in the west-southwest part of the sky at this point, which makes me think it did not move a whole lot. It was noticeably closer making it much bigger and brighter than just an hour before. My cousin and I both witnessed this and we also noticed that there appeared to be something spinning around the light. It appeared to be like a fan or a mill and it was moving very fast around the circular light but it was not lit up so it wasn’t as clear. This really got our attention so we pulled over and got out to watch it for around 20 minutes. It was moving back and forth at the same slow pace but not getting much closer to us or following any sort of pattern. The light was a whitish yellow with instances of slow and subtle hues of red and orange. It appeared to change brightness and sometimes the circle would get bigger and the light would be less concentrated and then it would almost insta! ntly shr ink to about half its size and at the same time become much brighter. After looking at it in awe for around 20 minutes we got back in the vehicle and started driving back to town. We began going west directly at the light but it appeared further and further away as we headed directly toward it. We then hit the main highway and hopped on it going south back to town for the night. The object faded off into the distance behind us. The only thing that I can think of in this part of the world that would be that high in the sky are the grain elevators, which have lights on them. However they have many lights all over them. I am stumped. I can confidently say it was a flying object. However, I have never seen anything like it and I have seen thousands of planes go over our land in the day and at night in complete darkness. I was able to snap a couple pictures and videos of the object while at the ranch north of town. I will email to the address provided on the site. The email will be labeled “UFO TEXAS PANHANDLE”. Thanks ((initials deleted)) We suspect a sighting of Venus. PD

These objects came out of the North about mid sky came toward us and cross the sky some just three or four seconds behind the other pretty much the same path towards us then off to the East and up until we could not see them. This took a few seconds to about 10 before they where out of sight. This happened as a party was ending and many people saw this. There would be a group of 6 or so and a few minutes another group would come. This happened at lease 3 to 4 times over 20 to 30 minutes. Witness provides no contact information. We would welcome additional reports from other witnesses. PD

As I was driving I looked I pulled up to the stop sign and directly in front of me about 1 miles away there were 4 round orange lights. One was separate from the rest, but the remaining three were making triangular shapes. They continued doing that for about a minute or so. But then they started to fade away in the opposite direction as if flying towards the sky in a horizontal direction. In the blink of an eye they were gone .
