Manchester, NH
This all started a long time ago in 1985 when my Grandfather told me to film Mars when it was closest which was like very early fall of 2003. He told me to watch for an object he had seen that traveled up instead of down. This being an asteroid of sorts or perhaps a bolide. I did as I was told and set up my tripod and said a prayer that it would bring honor to my grandfather. Early on in the shot I got tired of filming just Mars and decided to film the moon instead. Not long after a brightly lit object that was potato shaped flew from left to the upper right at an upward angle lighting up in the moons halo as it went. Keep that at the back of your mind. Then in 2008 I got a report that the Bali volcano was about to erupt so I was watching the live camera. I saw something that looked like orbs but paid no notice of it. Then a news agency told me that an earthquake struck the region. I know from past experience that orbs appear after earthquakes, so I went to see the live camera again and much to my amazement the entire shot was nothing but wild crazy orbs flying in all directions. The critics didn’t like the film and said for me to film one in doors at my home so I went and did just that. On the first day of filming I shot three orbs traveling fast in my home appartment in Manchester. I missed the first orb in the kitchen because it was fast and the lighting was too bright which led me to believe that the object wasn’t worth my time but I remember it just the same. Then some time went by and nothing much appeared on the night vision camera. I’d been working hard in my office and it was getting late. I was about to go to my girlfriends house and I typically have that room in the dark. I noticed my phone light up but it wasn’t coming from the screen or the back of the phone. It was more like my pocket lit up. I thought nothing of it and went to open the door to go outside. Just as I turned the key the entire lock assembly lit up in a bright pleasant white light that was radiant like neon white. It flashed twice and I left the apartment feeling somewhat befuddled. I told myelf its all good and thought nothing of it. I then returned to my apartment very early that morning around quarter of six and my apartment was still fairly dark. As I went to shut the lock the same thing happened but my phone didn’t light up this time. Just the lock did and this time it was one blink and was located much closed to the inside wood. It was not my normal standard lighting and I decided to call someone to report it. Now... My mother was nearly killed by a serial killer back in the day when she was young and a bright light saved her life. I guess the killer lost his nerve when the flat desert like sand of western Kansas (there abouts) lit up bright as day all around his pickup truck. So I knew from stories I’d heard that this was not the “first” time it had happened to my family. Lastly on August 10th, 2005, I was working in a basement in Plaistow, NH, at a friend's house when the two of use decided to sit down. All of a sudden a bright ball of energy flew out of the fruit cellar in front of us and traveled right past my left side. It then bounced off the hot water heater, turned slightly then went across at a fast wobble at about eye level when it then traveled out a window. I said to her “you saw that, right?” she said yes. I am including a link to the only evidence I have and that is of the 3 orbs I filmed. The film is a composite so that the video is shorter. The times on the video are wrong the rest is accurate. Here is the youtube link. The orbs were spotted on December 27th, 2017, at around 7pm. https://youtu.be/NlKTSc2mK94 Lastly the snow looked strange on the day of the 23rd of Jan. 2018, so I photographed that.

Myself and neighbors have witnessed a large flash of bluish-white light, coming straight out of the sky. I thought I heard a very low, slow rumble. There is no precipitation on radar. We have amended the time to reflect a sighting at approximately 8:00 p.m. (Eastern). PD

Romeoville, IL
I live in Romeoville. was outside one my back portch and saw in the sky toward Chicago blue flashes across sky and no way was it fire works or deplays from a light display because there were no clouds for the what ever I saw to reflect from they were traveling down and side to side in a very fast motion someone else had to have seen it, too, because it wasn't anything I have ever seen before. Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD

Lancaster, PA
Blue dome shaped flash of light at the horizon line was spotted from the quarry area towards the Lancaster Airport. We were traveling north on Erbs Quarry Rd and the light was off to our right. It flashed as a blue dome close to the ground and lasted for about 10 seconds before abruptly completely going away. We were driving in that direction but saw nothing further.

San Jose, CA
I was sitting on the right back side of a car. The sightseeing happened approximately at 7 - 7:05 PM, somewhere on Camden Ave and S Bascom Ave./Union Ave in San Jose, CA 95124. A small blinking object was seen in the sky, flying at unusually high speed. I first thought it was an aircraft, but again, but I never saw an airplane flying that fast. I don't know how to describe the speed, but it flew faster in the sky than the driving car. After 10-15 seconds, it disappeared. I still cannot give a direct answer what that really was. Maybe it really was a UFO, or just an aircraft flying at very high speed and then hiding through the clouds.

Colorado City, CO
Driving home from pueblo I saw what appeared to be 3 rockets coming over the mountain and three more coming up on the side slightly behind them and then they vanished. They looked like large fire work rockets gold in color. I asked others if they saw on facebook and they also said they saw this. One person described it before I even described.

Highlands Ranch, CO
Taking my dogs out at 5am, like I do every morning, except this morning I notice the yard is lit up in a blueish white color and couldn't find source....until I looked up and a glowing white object just took off so fast it was hard to even comprehend. It looked like a firework blasting across the sky it had a trail and then got so bright it just disappeared after. I saw a kid on YouTube who lives in the area say he saw a similar thing, but I can't find any film of it. It hovered long enough for me to notice my backyard being lit up and stood still for a split second when I looked up but then just blasted off and disappeared. My dogs must have heard something I didn't because they both ran back to the door I let them out of and hit it trying to go back in after the object exploded off disappearing.

Mahomet, IL
Stepped outside to have a smoke and stargaze on a cold and clear morning. As I'm looking at the brightest stars I see a bright white flash high in the sky not far from a bright star I was looking at. I thought maybe it was a meteor but I kept my eyes focused on the spot I saw the flash. A few seconds later a second flash in the exact same spot. Then another flash. Then a slightly longer flash, and then a few seconds later and it flashed again, in the same spot in the sky but slightly dimmer and I could tell it was further away. Then one last flash still dimmer and further away before it was, I guess, out of view? Bright white flashes, brief with no pattern or rhythm, maybe 5 or 6 total. Slightly brighter than any star, and the flashes were quick except for the longer flash which seemed to be a build up, dim out type of flash.

Barre, VT
Multiple large muted firework type flashes in northeastern night sky during an ice storm event viewed from Beckley Hill Road area, but no sounds typical to fireworks. Multiple flashes of blue, red, yellow, orange. Lasting for over one minute, appeared to proceed east - south east at much lower detectable levels as it passed over Barre city. No craft was visible, but the light show was impressive.

Me and my two friends were driving back home from going to town to get groceries at the local store and out of nowhere a bright light flashed then shot straight down and circled then completely disappeared. There was only one bright light that did that in the sky. We are straight minded people who pay attention. We knew exactly what we saw and can’t forget what we seen

Cedar Rapids, IA
At 1:35 in the morning the sky lit up like daylight in 2 flashes the first being the brightest. I was inside a darkened room watching a DVD movie when this occurred, so I have no idea what was outside causing this phenomena. I presumed it must have been a meteoric fireball, as the Geminids were just subsiding.

Several people in this area of the state are reporting flashing lights in the sky at night since 12/10/17. I have seen them myself and it was weird.. Everyone’s sighting has the same reaction. We all thought our eyes were playing tricks on us at first, but then it kept happening.

Anaconda, MT
I live on Georgetown Lake in southwestern Montana at an elevation of 6,200 feet. On the night of Saturday December 9, 2017, at about 8:30 p.m., I saw about 15 moving red blinking lights. They were to the south of where I live about 1,000 feet above the mountains that are over 10,000 feet in elevation. The mountains are about 15 miles from where I live. The lights were moving horizontally. The lights were moving in a northeasterly direction. I estimate that the row of lights was 10 miles long. They were evenly spaced and all were at the same elevation. It looked like they were being towed because they all followed the same path. The blinking of the lights alternated. When one light blinked on the light closest to it did not. Every other light blinked at the same time. The sighting lasted about 3 minutes. I did not have my phone with me so no video. I did not want to go get it because I did not want to miss what I was seeing. It did not seem possible. There was also no sound. It is very quiet where I live so if it was plane, I would have heard it.

I was driving home when from the corner of my eye I see a blue bright light moving fast accross the sky. At first I thought it was fireworks or something, but there was absolutely no noise at all. It just ended up disappearing. It scared me because when I saw it I thought it was coming towards me, but then I didn’t hear it crash or see were it went.

At first, i thought that I saw a bright star, and then it slowly started to move. It was hard to capture on video,. Nobody thinks that it was a drone or has any other logical explanation. We have been seeing both drones and these for months, and the drones have the deep noise, while this has none.

I pulled out my phone to record but it stopped happening. I did notice what sounded like the horns from inception far in the distance for the first two, but after the last one there was no sound. We’re very confused.
