Philadelphia, PA
Philadelphia Pa recent observations: 11/8/19 5:30 am. Back yard in N W Philly. 66 Y O male A clear night sky looking up I see a speck of light moving South my perception of the distance and speed of the speck of light suggested it was not a plane no blinking lights. It was not following the typical flight paths of commercial airways I am accustomed to seeing. Observed until it faded from visual site. Turning my view North I see another same brightness and velocity as before this light heading east and again this one observed until it faded from view. My observation previously at around the same morning hour on a clear crisp morning in the back yard looking north I noticed a speck of light traveling south with a more erratic change in its vector a very subtle zig zag if you will. Observed until the speck of light visually changed into what I would call something similar to a small round mint lifesaver candy and instantly vanished from view.

Upon driving I noticed a very bright yellowish orange stationary light in the southern sky that looked like a star but much larger and brighter with a round light on each side of it same color and then it vanished.

Vancouver, WA
I was walking the along the Columbia River and viewed a very bright white light stationary in the sky over Portland; it was low & bright enough to reflect off the river. I noticed it for about a half an hour, a mist surrounded it and then it just blended into the mist & disappeared, it was a clear night. I have a picture that I will submit

Seattle, WA
Bright white light flying east from west side of the Puget Sound. The bright light flew in a straight line toward and over West Seattle. There was no flash and I could hear no sound. While I did get video, the quality was poor, as it was dark. I could not make out an actual shape.

Danville, KY
At first I thought it was military aircraft but then noticed that the lights were steady and no signs of strobes. I quickly ran into the house to grab my cell phone to record video but my wife called me right as I was trying to film them. As I looked up the lights were dimmed out and you could only see a real faint white glow of the craft. They were moving steady and average speed of planes from Harrodsburg, KY, towards Junction, KY. NW to SE. I watched them until I could no longer see them any longer. No sound what so ever. Clear skys.

Morehead City, NC
I am a 57 year old retired medical assistant. On 11-05-19...7:06 pm my neighbor (42 year old female) called asking me to go outside to see some strange orange lights in the sky. She said she had never seen anything like it before. I & my stepdaughter, age 17, went outside on my south facing 2nd floor porch. I'd say we were outside by 7:10 pm. At first we didn't see anything. There was the sound of a plane going over but not extremely loud & that soon passed. Approximately 5 min after we went out, my stepdaughter saw first, then I saw, 3 or 4 clear, bright, orange round balls of light in a cluster. They were at around 45° and in the southeast direction. They seemed close, though I'm unable to give any estimate of distance. They suddenly appeared and after no more than 5 seconds had all disappeared again. They seemed to disappear sequentially, not all at once. No sounds at all were heard at this time. I thought possibly flares, but, like I said, there was no ! sound of any planes or helicopters in the sky. And also, these seemed to be not far from me, in a very populated residential area. Why would anyone be dropping flares in such an area? We waited but didn't see any more balls of light. However, about 5 minutes later, we both saw just inside the bottom of a low cloud an oval appearing white light, much larger than the orange lights. It flashed on just once, for a few seconds, that we saw. It was mild with patchy clouds & light breeze that night. Although it has rained earlier in the day, there were no storms or lightning in the area. It made us wonder if the small orange lights could have been dropped from whatever the oval white light represented. I've never seen anything resembling this before.

Stanley, ND
I seen about 75 lights appear in the sky heading in an East direction over about a 25 minute time span. Groups of 7 at a time. The appeared at a certain spot in the sky and kept coming out of it. I was able to view 1 cigar shaped craft with 2 lights on it. Several stopped in the sky and began moving again. Very scary. I thought we were being attacked.

Hope Mills, NC
I drive a route from Fayetteville, NC, to Florence, SC, starting at 2:30 AM, five days a week. When driving south on I95 at this time, I see shooting stars frequently, about 2 per week. One day I seen a shooting star when I was about near the Hope Mills area, before the St. Pauls exit. This was in the southeast sky, to my left as I was driving south. It was unusual this time because it suddenly changed direction, as if it had bounced off of a solid object in the atmosphere. I would guess the trajectory changed by about 65 degrees, bouncing back and changing its direction, while still descending. It was all pretty fast, about 5 seconds, and faded like shooting stars do eventually. I was driving and was not able to record anything. I have been thinking about it, and am finally reporting it because it is bothering me. Did it bounce off of something- and if so what? There was nothing subsequent to this, such as a plane crashing.

Hunting Beach, CA
Near the bathrooms by the pier (left side) at Hunting Beach, facing the Beach/West, BRIGHT fireball orange light, (I have a video), cruzing almost like a plane by more gently movingly bizarre, in the video I have the light is intercepting an airline craft, it was moving very different and looking closely we can agree we are seeing a U.F.O, not sure but almost moved looking like a rocket launch. I turn off the video and a couple minute later the object shot west/south into the distance like a Star Wars space craft going into hyper speed, the lift faded quickly away and we all were in kinda of a shock. Then after VerY soon MULTIPLE, like a lot more than usual aircraft i thought were part of the government trying to search for and also mimic the sighting with stationary and bright unusually lights that were definitely not the same color or size of the object we saw and they did not once take off or turn off their lights the same way we saw. While after around ! 7:10 they government stopped mimicking and a normal amount of planes were going through then sky. Also these planes coming one after another and flying half circle on the beach. These planes were suspicious as hell.

Norwich, CT
I came home from driving a few Lyft rides I walked to my backyard where my garbage cans are to throw something away when I noticed in a perfectly clear sky an orange/yellow light starting about where clouds would normally be and going very high and then disappearing. I was frozen staring at it because it did not blink or make sound. Then to my amazement another 1 appeared and started moving up while 2 more were there now too all moving exactly the same speed and distance apart. I tried to video them as they were so clear to my eye I thought it would video great too, but to my dismay it wouldn't even show on my iphone screen. After those vanished I saw another 1, I wanted so bad for someone else to see this so I ran inside my house very quickly and got my 15 year old son up from bed and ran outside with him. When we got outside there was 3 of them very clearly moving up like the others. I tried to take a video again and this one did work, but the video d! oes not do it justice compared to actually seeing it. When I take a screenshot of the object it looks like a spinning disc. I have 3 videos showing them. I know what helicopters, planes, drones, lanterns look like and this was not any of them. After about 15 minutes and seeing roughly 12 of these objects it was over! I stayed outside for an hour after and looked up to see if anymore would appear but nothing. It was absolutely amazing as I have never seen anything like it before. I wish I could know exactly what it was as I am still stumped.

Nashville, TN
I was at a park in town with my friends because there is a great view of the city at night. While walking back to the car, I looked up at the sky to get another view of the stars. As I was fixed on looking at these two stars that were very clear to see, one of them moved quick to the left, and then moved extremely fast across the sky and disappeared. As soon as I first saw it move, I told my friend to look, but it disappeared so fast he didn’t get a chance to look. They laughed when I told them why I wanted them to look. It just looked like a star, until it moved the way it did. No shooting star could make such a sharp angle the way it did, nor would it accelerate from a stand still. It has been weighing on my mind because it was so bizarre, and I wish someone else witnessed it because I know what I saw.

harrington, WA
Returning home to Harrington from Spokane passed milepost 122 and noticed a bright light to the west. Thought it could be a planet because it was so bright but was too close for a planet. Stayed in the same spot and then suddenly it was gone. We looked around and it was nowhere to be seen.

El Paso, TX
We were outside smoking and we always look up at the sky and we noticed a few planes coming and going and a helicopter pass by so we can tell those lights from others. This one light which we thought was a star, began moving straight up the sky, but stayed at a constant speed and then faded away. We then noticed another 3 lights which we thought were shooting stars but they began moving in their own direction! They than faded away. A friend stopped by maybe 10 minutes into us being outside and tells us he saw a light moving down the sky and fading out while he’s telling us this we see a light move down and fade away and see another move across the sky and fade away. For our friend to come over and tell us what he saw just confirmed what we saw was real just moments before.

Cape Town (South Africa) · South Africa
I was looking up at the sky because I have insomnia and noticed a star-like object moving through the sky in a sort of zig zagged direction. It kept going dim and then suddenly shining brighter than the other stars, as if it was bouncing from one area to the next. It was moving very close to the other stars as if it was exploring them. It would go near a star (and look less than a mm away from the star from where I'm standing) and then suddenly dart to another star.

Fort Worth, TX
3 flying lights in a v formation in the sky that we’re moving very fast north, north east and turning at an instant that could not have been possible by normal aircraft. This was over the sky towards the southwest part of Fort Worth. Once the 3 lights turned, they went out of my sight and took off very fast north.

Bear, DE
I was testing my camera and saw two bright white lights about the size of A large star fly from the south east to north west at high speed. They were about 20 yards apart, the one on the left was flying in almost a strait line, the one on the right was weaving back and forth toward the left one. They were about 600 to 1000 feet above me and they were silent. I pointed my camera at them with video already running but I’m not sure if I captured them.
