towards the soccer field (at my daughters soccer game). Still very small - looking like stars and hard for other people to see. It was hard for me to video or take photos because I couldn't see them on my phone - only with my eyes. They flew together and pretty much stopped at the soccer field. At one time I saw one fly sporadically - disappear - then reappear back next to the other one. They then floated towards the clouds and disappeared. After looking at my videos - I found them and zoomed in. What's weird about the photos is that there are weird spots all over the dots that I couldn't see with my eyes - only when zooming in on the screenshot photos. I was told they could be remnants of a weather balloon breaking. Thus, these being weather balloons. They just seemed to move strangely and didn't look like what I googled online for weather balloons. The way they moved - it was very controlled. But I guess balloons can be controlled? I'll attach my screen shots and my videos. Its really hard to locate them on the video without pausing it and making the images move manually. They are very very tiny.

I see these things on a nightly basis. Usually they appear to be small manned aircraft, but not airplanes or helicopters. I know this sounds crazy and I have no explanation for it. I also don’t understand why more people aren’t seeing these things.

Meridian, ID

I'm adding a photo of the window I saw it out of and the position of the dots I saw (I drew in example of the dots). I was finishing up my last email of the day for work when I looked out my window and noticed 3 circular white dots in the sky. They were apart from one another and then came near each other and began to dance around one another. This lasted 5 seconds and after that, they stood still for 2 seconds before parting ways. Two of the dots went east and one went west. The one that went west I followed for around 13 seconds in the sky until it was out of scene from my window.

Fresno, CA

So last night around 10:30ish pm, my husband and I heard a sound of an object that hit the ground in our enclosed laundry room that has French doors that lead to our back yard. We think nothing of it and don’t react until 3 minutes later when we hear it again. My husband goes to check and finds nothing out of place. Weird but not worrisome. Then about 11:10 pm I go to the kitchen to put something in the sink and when I look out my kitchen window, I see two red lights moving simultaneously to the left toward our tenants cottage. It startled me and I jumped back and looked again and it continued to move in the same direction. They appeared to be the size and circumference of a lid to a pickle jar. It was about 20 feet away from the window. We have four outdoor sensors but none of them went off. I asked our tenants if they were out with a flash light or thought it might be a lights from an emergency vehicle but it was two steady, circular lights. Not flashing, not blinking, not a stream. They were two lights in tact.

I was walking my dogs. I noticed a large orange red light in the sky. It seemed to hover, then kind of shook and disappeared. I had left my phone on charge so could not take pictures. There was only one light that I saw.

Murphy, NC

After seeing a movie, my boyfriend and I were returning home. However still, I noticed a round object with flashing lights floating in the air as I peered out the window. Yet, this item was simply floating there in the air and NOT moving at all. It had three lights that flashed. When we got closer, it appeared to be landing as it glided downward, but as we got further away, it immediately rose again.

The Colony, TX

I saw this really unusual object in the sky between 1430 and 1500 above our house. It was a sphere translucent white circle that appeared suddenly while we were flying a kite. The orb came close to the kite horizontally and stopped moving for about 6 seconds and then it suddenly disappeared by moving in the opposite direction horizontally. It almost seemed to have been inspecting what it was that we were flying (our kite) and then returning it’s trajectory.

Springfield, IL

Circle object dimly reflecting light from the city moving west-southwest in a straight line. It disappeared from view as it got close to the horizon. It made absolutely no sound, appeared to be around the size of a medium sized airplane, and was moving much faster than the speed of normal commercial air traffic. I was in the US Navy, I've seen all kinds of aircraft, and I've travelled all over the world, but I have never seen something like this, much less move at that speed and make no sound at all.

Stilwell, KS

I saw the object as i was driving home from work. It was hovering very low. It looked like a circular object with 2 bright lights on each side. Kept moving as i was driving. I then saw it hovering low and stayed in my driveway watching it. I called my neighbor and sister who lives behind me to come out and see what they thought it was. They also confirmed it was very strange and bright lights. I watched it for about 45 minutes then it took off high in the sky and went out of sight.

I went outside to get my plants. And I looked up in the sky and saw some kind of aerial object just hovering in the sky with numerous lights on it. The object may be circular but it was dark outside so I could not see. Jupiter and Venus

Butler, PA

My Mother and I went out front to have a cigarette at our home in Butler, Pennsylvania. On the front porch and walkway, my Mother told me to look. Up and to my left, probably less than a mile away from our location, we both saw two orange lights, one was larger than the other and they were completely still, and very close together. I insisted they were just stars or something normal. I looked away and thought she was being hysterical over nothing. Then I look back, they both were completely gone without a trace. Just there one second, then poof, gone! After these “stars” or objects disappeared into thin air, I knew we had just witnessed something paranormal. Just came here to report it. Thank you! Jupiter and Venus being obscured by a cloud?

The 2 lights that were seen and filmed on March 1, 7:17 pm in north west Florida. Were traveling in an odd, side by side formation. One object being smaller and slightly higher then the other. They appeared to be sitting still but as I watched it seemed to be moving towards the south. Jupiter and Venus

These lights have been seen tonight at Buffalo, NY., Tampa FL., MI., Orange CO., CA., El Paso, TX., that I'm aware of. There are videos of these lights/craft popping up on social media all over the country as I write this! We observed 2 lights that were orientated in a side by side setting, but the right one appeared to be a little higher and possibly a little further away than the left one. Both emitted an extremely bright silver light around their circumference and both appeared circular in shape. They were to far away to see detail through 10x binoculars. We also observed what appeared to be several aircraft fly over these objects as though they were attempting to surveil them. After about 35 minutes, both objects appeared to move west and begin to become smaller before eventually fading from sight.

Columbus, GA

At approximately 8:40 PM, I exited my house to retrieve my iPhone, which I'd accidentally left in my car during a previous evening excursion. I looked back to the west as I walked to my car to see if Jupiter and Saturn had already set—they apparently had—and the first object appeared through the bare branches of my next-door neighbor's tree. The object appeared at least five times as large as Saturn or Jupiter and was brilliantly illuminated, almost as if on fire. The light was in the yellow-orange range of the spectrum. At first, I thought it might be a missile, but the illumination was in a circular pattern with no exhaust trail. The illumination was also more sparkly than a missile trail. The illumination was the wrong color to be aircraft landing lights and again was circular without the forward beam of aircraft landing lights. The object moved across the sky from west to east, just south of the ecliptic. As it came over the city of Columbus, the illumination completely dimmed and the actual disc-shaped object itself could be detected. I followed the object until it was no longer visible in the east. Then, as I turned back toward the west to go back into my house, an identical object was crossing the sky in the same manner—just south of the ecliptic, moving west to east. Its illumination also dimmed as it moved across the city, and its disc-like shape could also be detected. Again, I followed it across the sky toward the east and again turned back to the west to see yet another identical object, again just south of the ecliptic, moving west to east. At this point, I ran into the house and summoned my thirty-eight-year-old son to join me outside to view the objects. As he came out into our driveway, we both looked back toward the western horizon to see the fourth object as it exactly repeated the behavior of the first three objects I'd seen. Some of the objects remained illuminated longer than others, and one object, after its illumination had diminished, appeared larger. This apparently larger object appeared to either be rotating or to have a red light circling around it. Altogether, I watched eight of these apparently evenly-spaced objects cross the sky from west to east. My son saw the final five of the objects. Their speed is difficult to estimate because I could not discern the altitude. My guess is that the objects were considerably lower than a transcontinental passenger jet, perhaps only ten thousand feet altitude, yet they were completely silent. The eighth and final object crossed the sky at approximately 8:50 PM. I am attaching images captured with my iPhone. However, these images are somewhat blurry because my phone automatically adjusted exposure times to compensate for the low light levels. I was able to upload less than half of the images I captured, and not necessarily the best images.
