Myrtle Beach, SC
I was just outside walking looking for deer tracks and returned home for my last cigarette for the night as I sat on my balcony I witnessed a large initial light that turned into a line of three lights different colors as well which at that time I pulled out my phone and started to record what I thought was a ufo and it went to the right and back to that spot in less than a millisecond and then blinked a few times a went coming blank no longer appearing in the night sky. I have all this on video as well,to verify my story so that this occurrence is not overlooked. Extremely amazing but at the same time out of this world. I forgot to mention moments later fire trucks were dispatched for something I'm assuming as I heard the fire horn roaring in the quiet night.

Albany, OR
A bright low flying flashing light coming from the south west direction headed east moving slow and below the cloud bank. I watched it travel slowly heading east thinking it was an airplane or helicopter, however there was no sound and it stopped hovering in place for about 6 minutes. It finally disappeared into cloud bank.

Large-ish flash of light burst across the skyline in front of us as we were driving home. It looked somewhat like a shooting star, but much larger and closer to the earth. It was kind of a blur, but definitely very strange looking.

Corinth/Monson (betweem), ME
Between Corinth and Monson, ME. Route 15, approximately 4:45 AM. Dark outside, no moonlight. The sky lit up so I looked to my left to see what I thought would be lightning. There was a bright blue light, that switched to green, then red and back to blue and green. The sky then went black again. This was beyond a field that lined the side of the road, behind a distant tree line. I drive this road almost every morning at this time and have for the past two years. There have never been any lights or decorations anywhere to this effect.

Elkins, AR
Proceeding southbound near Elkins, AR, I witnessed what I thought was a bright star. When I glanced up, there was a grouping of about 7 lights in a lazy L shape with a grouping of 3-4 other lights to the east and west of the main grouping of lights. They were single, pinpoint white lights that lit up sequentially, in no discernible pattern, like randomly blinking Christmas lights. They were slowly moving, in formation, from west to east. Was hard to tell the altitude from the ground but most likely at least 40,000+ feet. There were no flashing strobes or red and green lights as found on airplanes. These were single lights. There was no sound. We drove our route home, towards the east, but my the time we reached the peak of our mountain, the grouping had disappeared. We continued to watch, as we live in a rural area with minimal light pollution but never saw them again. I am a private pilot with many night hours and I have never before witnessed anything like this. My partner was with me and we were both in awe of what we were seeing. I can only hope that someone else saw this and reports it, as well.

A few planes were moving near the object as well, so I know compared to the planes that I saw, this object was not a plane. The planes that were also in the sky came into view and left like an ordinary plane, but during the timespan of those planes moving, this object had barely moved. These planes were also very close in proximity to each other, and seemed to either pass over or pass by the object. There were also no other planes that passed by once the object had disappeared. It was too close to be a satellite and too high to be a drone. I had taken a video on Snapchat and sent it to a friend but I unfortunately completely forgot to save the video. About 5-10 minutes after first seeing it, it slowly faded away.

Fire Island (Barett Beach), NY
At about 1500 hrs., on Wednesday October 18, 2017, while sitting on the stairs that go out to the beach , I observed a flash of light (yellow / green) heading in a south west direction. The observation lasted about 2 seconds. The color of the object is similar to natural gas given off by a kitchen range.

Cape Coral, FL
Twice this morning, I’ve seen an orange flickering light moving under clouds slowly at distance over Cape Coral. At times it disappeared, and then reappeared on the same path. No FAA lights, just a rapidly flickering orange. It seemed to be on the same course each pass, but the second pass was lower. It was moving from east to west each time. I first saw it just after 7:00 am, and then again at 7:28 am. I thought it rather unusual.

While stepping out to have a cigarette I look due east and saw bright orange lights that flashed like the front of the car from Knight Rider from left to right as soon as it flashed one time like that all the sudden it started immediately to the left of its original spot flashed like the front of the car from night rider from left to right as soon as it flashed one time like that all the sudden it started and immediately to the left of its original spot. This was a left to right sequence of lights all Orange. Then it disappeared and never flashed again.

West Chazy, NY
We were driving on the Highway 87, going north, and we noticed a bright white light behind us. It would flash white every second and seemed to be following us. The object looked like it was flying close to the road, as we saw it pass over a bridge. We thought about a plane on an emergency landing, but it stayed behind is for too long. We where driving at 65 miles/hour. The object was flying close to the trees and was following the curves of the road (left to right). We were 5 in the car and everybody saw it. We are all sober, as,well. It got really close to the car (100 feet), and then got further.

Wheat Ridge, CO
I was sitting near my patio door inside, while playing a board game with my nephew. I notice there was a round circular object moving in the sky. The object is changing into a shiny star like figure and it was opening up and unfolding. I walked outside to get a better look and it was a spectacular light star that I was so overwhelmed by the changing form of the object. My little 5 year old nephew was also seeing it unfold and I told him to grab my cell phone from the sofa. He grabbed it and handed it to me so I could take a few pictures. The object split into two and changed into a black circular object and there was another light white circular object below it. It fades away into the clouds.

Lebanon, OR
A low flying military helicopter flew overhead while I was outside. I look up and then notice something flash in the blue sky. The object by my guess would be 30,000 feet. I looked again at the object thinking it was a jet aircraft. As I focused my vision in on the object I noticed it was twinkling like a star does at night. Then I notice more objects twinkling. The objects were not flying in a straight line. They were not drifting with the wind or jet stream. They were not falling. They were slowly moving back and forth in an area of the Northern sky. The objects were not in an organized formation or pattern, but scattered in an area. I counted at least 9 objects that I could see with my naked eye. These objects were witnessed by my father who was with me at the same time. I work at local urgent care and my father is a retired carpenter. Neither of us have ever seen anything like it in our life time. The best description I could give is bizarre!

Saw strange light that lit up entire sky, Did not see a specific bright object, looked like lighting but it wasn't raining and Seattle doesn't get lightning. Flash had a bit of color in it, a little pinkish as it faded. Illuminated entire skyline. Flash happened twice in one minute, and then did not happen again.
