Lake Las Vegas, NV
3 bright lights in the sky just beyond lake. At one point a red fuzzy laser type light connect all 3 lights briefly in a lightning bolt pattern. Red light went out, bottom light faded out, middle light moved across horizon and went dark, top light lingered for awhile before slowly dimming out. Video taken showed nothing but black sky afterwards, my voice recording didn’t register. Pics turned out very blurry at best.

Mobile, AL
Was walking dogs down street, at first glance thought It was a star then noticed it was hovering slowly and not but 200-300 feet off ground. Light moved slowly passed us, I had my flashlight in Hand and turned it towards the light.. after doing this the light vanished but I could still see something in the sky for about 5 seconds. The whole time we could not hear it make any sound, it was quiet.

Sandy Springs, GA
Driving south on GA400 approximately 1 mile north of the Sandy Springs/Abernathy road exit (5). Time was 5:11 am. Temp was 45 degrees Fahrenheit. Driving in the left lane, it was quite dark at that time. The sun wasn't anywhere near coming up that early this late in the year. I noticed a small orange light break the west treeline. Th light quickly maneuvered in a zig zag line as it rose into the sky and the moved over the southbound lanes of GA400 and then just hovered, about 100' off the ground, until I drove under it. At first, I thought it was a helicopter, not uncommon as ATL traffic gets underway. But as I got closer, I realized it most definitely was not a helicopter. It was a dirty/burnt orange light. Bright enough to see from a distance but not as bright as say a parking lot light. Not sure if it made any sound as I was driving in the left lane with the windows up. Could have been a drone, but odd to see a drone that early in the morning, over 400 and in those temperatures...I drive that way every day, at the same time. Been doing it for 11years and that is the 1st time I have ever seen anything like that.

La Quinta, CA
Early morning, I stepped outside and saw three separate lights. Each was roughly the size of a vehicle. The formed a triangle, but seemed to be independent of each other. Two lower points were yellow, the upper middle point was orange. They quickly ascended the height of the surrounding mountains and just as fast hugged the top of a ridge and passed over and out of sight heading west. They did not continue upward, but back down the opposite side of the mountain. They were VERY large, made no noise. They traveled at a steady and high speed. I have lived in the La Quinta cove my entire life and have never seen an aircraft move over these mountains they way they did.

Des Moines, IA
Found a light shining during the sunset it's shining in the sky. At first I thought it was a plane but it just stayed there. After 20 minutes it was still in the same place. Later when the lighting changed to a red but quickly changed back to its original state. I could tell it was a disk shape since you can see black around it. I am currently outside seeing this and typing it. So what I notice about it l. It's blinking and stops for a moment and starts again. We saw a plane pass it from a distance and by the naked eye you could tell it's way too big to be a plane.

Fort McDowell looking toward Phoenix, AZ
While looking toward Phoenix, there were some orange, glowing balls of light. There would be 1-4 that would fade in and out, but did not change locations. They hovered while the lights flicker in and out. You could see planes flying by and compare how different the lights were and how much larger the orange lights were. They did not fall like a flare would or move like a plane. This is not the first time we have seen these types of lights in Arizona.

Memphis, TN
As we were looking up in the sky to view a meteor shower, we noticed that there were several extra bright what appreared to be stars. These bright lights were moving in slow circular patters. I used my phone to enlarge the object and we could see bright orange lights. As we continued to study these lights, we saw more and more of them. They were in 4 different formations and the sky was filled with them. Some were in triangle formations and some were in straight line formations. We counted over 25 of them. They were hovering for hours and moving very slowly in circular patterns. We stayed and observed them for 3 hours, and they were all still there when we left. They were very far away, almost mistaken as extra bright stars, we could not determine the shape, but the lights were extremely bright.

Apopka, FL
Red/Orange stationary light left a short tail behind it as it shifted to the left then dimmed for a few seconds then became bright again. Proceed to move in the infinity sign before becoming stationary again. No clouds in sky when this happened.

The Bahamas
About 50-100 lights, perfectly equidistant and circular, travelled from one side (East) to the other (West) until out of the line of sight. They moved at a steady pace and were in sight for 2-3 minutes.

Maplewood, MN
I observed a UFO-Orb hovering at a distance in the eastern sky. It was white and seemed to say, "Hey, look at me." It was distinctly different from the stars, planets and airplanes that were in the vicinity at the same time. I have seen multiple UFO-Orbs from this location over the years.

Wahoo, NE
I was driving north towards wahoo on a highway from Lincoln and I noticed there was a very bright light above what look like Wahoo it was probably a little further but it was very bright and it was not moving and it was up there for about 2 minutes I looked at it a lot because it was so bright and so high in the sky and I looked at my phone for a few seconds and I looked up and it was gone. The sky I looked at it a lot because it was so bright and so high in the sky and I looked at my phone for a few seconds and I looked up and it was gone. the Sky was dark enough that there was no way a light that bright so high in the sky could have disappeared that fast after it was not moving the whole entire time I was looking at it.

Jackson Springs, NC
On Thursday November 14th 2019 I witnessed in the north-west quarter of the sky one single craft. It was moving very slowly toward the south-west quarter of the sky. It was around 11:00P.M. eastern time. There were no flashing lights, only one single light that was not very bright. The craft was very high up in the sky and I could not make out any shape. The single dim light stopped in the sky at about due west. The light then seemed to turn bright as if it turned toward my position. It seemed to turn several times going from dim to bright while holding the same position in the sky. I did not have anything to take pictures or video. I was in my backyard at the time and wanted to see what happened if I moved. When I moved it seemed the light turned toward me and became very bright. Then it sped of toward the south – west quarter of the sky and was out of sight in the snap of a finger. I have never witnessed anything that flew that fast in my life. We do live in the fly Zone of a military base, but this was no military aircraft. This was extremely fast and made no sound. The entire event only lasted about 2 minutes. When it left it was out of sight in 2 seconds.

Evergreen, MT
Vibrant green light object hovered over my neighborhood. At first thought it was Christmas lights, evidently no one has them up for decor yet nor do they have such a green shade; saw it in the sky making weird motion. At one point it hovered over my house ( & looked like it was attached to my roof at a point) & disappeared after a few minutes of transitional movement of slow to vigorous flying actions.

Scottsdale, AZ
Solid bright red light (thought it was a small plane) moving SE the speed of small plane from above North Scottsdale. Red glow turned to orange and grew 4X in size as it brightened and slowed down to near stop. Slowly turned to NE direction changed from orange to white and slowly faded out. Approximate time laps 2-3 minutes. Not sure if it was a flare. No other aircraft close in proximity were visible.

Palm Springs, FL
A light came from the NW sky traveling SE. It appeared to be very distant in the sky like a satellite. It shined like a rocket with a bright, white head and red, pointed tail. The head flickered like a twinkling star. The tail had little flicker. There was no trail behind it. The moon was full and would have illuminated a trail. The sky was clear with stars showing. The object continued to about 80 degrees above the western horizon. The brilliance and tail began to fade as it passed the zenith. The path became a slow arc bending to S and then SSW. It faded to a dim white light by the time it disappeared behind trees.

Kapaau, HI
My wife and I saw 25 or more white lights appearing over the E horizon flying SW in a single file, straight line formation, many quite close in the front becoming further apart toward the end. They were traveling a little faster than a "satellite " and were about the same size, seemed quite distant, same brightness as a medium sized star. Lost sight of them toward the S.

Shreveport, LA
There was a perfectly aligned stream of white lights across the sky. They were about the same size and brightness of stars. It was cloudy, the moon was full, there were no other stars in the sky, and I was still able to see them clearly. My wife also saw them. We watched as we drove, and they disappeared after about a minute.

Placentia, CA
Light was visible above my home. Looked like a star at first, but it was moving slowly across the sky. Not fast enough for a comet or asteroid, and too high for a plane or helicopter. Went approx. 50 feet across the sky (relative to me) then faded away.

El Paso, NM
While flying at an Altitude of 34,000 feet over the SW US in a westbound direction, witnesses saw a series of about 8-12 lights in a horizontal line about 10-15 degrees above their level attitude. The lights faded and returned in a shallow V position only to fade again. The experience lasted about 20- 30 seconds for the reporting witness. This sequence of lights caused a lot of chatter on the radio and was confirmed by 4 other aircraft in the area at different altitudes and headings.
