I was walking on the sidewalk looking ahead of myself, when out of the corner of my eye I saw a white light that moved extremely quickly. I saw it in the top left edge of my field of vision. Then i turned my head and looked directly at it. It was a perfect pure white circle. There was no outward glow, but the circle was so lit that i couldn't see any kind of shadow on the surface indicating a shape. From my point of view it looked like a pure white circle, almost like looking directly at the sun or an LED. Imagine someone used computer graphics to place a perfect white circle in a video. That's what it looked like. I couldn't even be sure that it was an orb rather than the top of a flat disk, although for that to be the case it would have to be facing me perfectly. I concluded it's likely an orb. It was about the size of the sun or moon in the sky, so approximately 0.5 degrees. Very quickly after i looked at the light, it continued on the same speed and trajectory it was on before it stopped. There was no acceleration or deceleration as this light changed speed. It was either what appeared to be mach 5, or it was motionless. If it had not stopped below the clouds, it would have just been a streak of light across the corner of my eye. There was only that one anomaly. I was on Milton ave in Solvay NY, by the woods next to the Solvay Fire Department, and to my left the horizon was a line of maybe a dozen trees that were lined up behind some houses. If you are walking west down Milton after the Fire Department, you will pass a forested hill on your left before reaching this line of maybe 6 houses with the about a dozen trees behind them just before reaching Woods Road. I was walking just past the forested hill when i saw the light move up at the edge of my FOV behind the line of trees behind the houses. I could see the white light being blocked by the branches. So the light rose from beyond the base of the horizon and the trees there, presumably meaning it was around ground level. Then in a moment it was just below the clouds, and instantly stopped. I looked at it and it kept going just as suddenly as it arrived. I was awestruck.

Le 1er janvier 2016 à 1h30 du matin plusieurs personnes observent le déplacement silencieux de 3 sphères orange dans le ciel. L'observation dure 5 minute avant qu'elles ne disparaissent dans le ciel à vive allure. Un seul témoignage est rapporté. L'observation de boules oranges dans le ciel, une nuit de week-end ou festive comme celle de la Saint- Sylvestre fait nettement penser à des lanternes thaïlandaises, probablement lâchées à proximité, à l'issue d'une fête privée. La similitude de trajectoire des PAN sucessifs est également typique de lanternes lancées une après l’autre et suivant le même filet de vent. L'extinction d'une lanterne, qui peut être rapide (lumière très décroissante) sans être instantanée est souvent interprétée comme un éloignement fulgurant de l'objet. En conséquence le GEIPAN classe le cas en B : probable lanterne thailandaise. [GEIPAN classification B — Lanterne thai]

These were followed by at least six more following the same line. They had a slight glow without any blinking or blinking lights and were silent. They faded from view as they progressed Northeastward. Sky was partly cloudy but clear for most of the path, a path which traversed the constellation Orion.

The object never moved an inch from its current location on the right hand side of the currently visible moon in the night sky on the left side of the moon. The light from the object could be reflective as the intensity stays consistent and does not flash or disappear. Object continues to be visible in the night sky, no indication of movement, seems to be in a stationary or geosynchronous orbit above Bangkok, Thailand. Maybe a satellite or other orbital space equipment. Checked the ISS location and is no where near Bangkok airspace currently. I have checked the position and visually measured using a ruler the distance from the moon and has not changed position there. Planet or star near Moon? PD

Several single objects with orange haze traveling steady speed from SW to NE no sound each on a different path seemed faster than airplanes.

One bright red sphere came across the sky over my house and then disappeared between the trees. What was it? ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) The light travelled from west to east. It was the size of a street light moving slowly. It went directly over my house. I had time to go from one room to another on the other side to see it again. ((END ADDENDUM)) Witness provides defective contact information. PD

Sodaville, OR
Our little town had a small firework display for New Years. After we left the fireworks, we dropped our friends off at their house. Before we got back into our car, we noticed a huge orange ball of light above the tree line (trees they were above were about 80 feet or so). One ball of light was moving and hovering in a figure 8 type of motion. Then it was joined by another. They continued to move and hover together. Suddenly the first one split into two balls of light, one smaller than the other and they both headed west, one went on a downward motion below the tree line and the other went in a straight line west out of site very quickly. There was one ball of light left at that point and it continued hovering and suddenly it went west in a fast upward motion and continued on out of site. My wife and I were sober and amazed. We can't figure out what this could have been. We kept watching the sky out further were one disappeared and we can see two tiny white lights moving much further out. We have no photos and there were no visible fireworks continuing.

Heading home around Midnight on New Years Eve, we were driving north of Landmark, Manitoba on the 206 Hwy, when we turned East onto River Road near Dufresne, Manitoba we noticed a HUGE sphere shape sitting vertically in the sky. It was bright red/orange sitting very low to the ground. We traveled 3 kms towards the end of the road to get a better view but when we got there it had slowly moved to the North.

On New Year’s Eve, my fiancé and I were out in our back yard watching the fireworks right at midnight. We had been outside for about 15 min, at this time it is 12:15. We both notice this very odd stationary orange spherical light above the trees and out always but low in the sky. At first I thought it was some firework going off but it held stationary for about 10 seconds before what happened next I cannot explain. The object broke apart into six different spherical shapes; they remained stationary for a few seconds before one at a time they started to fly to the north. After about 15 seconds they were all flying to the north. I managed to get some of this on video. After about 45 seconds all the objects were out of our vision. At this point my fiancé goes inside. I remain outside for approximately 5 minutes watching the area where the objects came from, when one single orange spherical object appears from behind the trees following the same path the others had went just before. There also was a small low flying plane in the sky right next to where this object was flying. Whoever was in that plane had to get a good view of whatever that object was. But it also gave me perspective and without a doubt these things were NOT planes. No blinking lights and moved in a way that planes of today cannot move.

When I got out I saw two orange red spears (sic. spheres) next too each other, with a bigger spear behind. One of the spears went completely sideways, then back went back. By this time, crafts got over my head, right over my head, the lights shrunk, and the two crafts disappear. The third craft comes to the same spot and it disappears also but this time I see a black shadow of of the craft move off, then I lost sight off it. Then I look back too the southwest and in the same formation three more craft are coming. They came the same flight plan and formation, and lights went out at the same spot. Two police saw also which came to see what was doing and saw the last craft disappear all lasting 8 minutes. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be sincere and sober-minded. He confirms the date was New Year's Eve, and we have corrected the date. Witness submitted a second report for a similar sighting in Salem, UT, on the evening of December 31st, 2014. PD

Very odd. At about 11:45pm on New Years Eve, I what appeared to be 2 orange "orbs" moving from the SE to NW direction, passing directly over my house as I stood in the driveway. I watched as the approached from a distance. At first I thought they were 2 helicopters, but as the got closer I noticed they were flying relatively low (perhaps 700ft?) and there was no sound or any lights to indicate port and starboard. The only light emitted was an orange glow. As they passed over my house, I walked from the driveway to the street and faced the NW to watch them. They appeared to be ascending but as they did, the light faded to a mere dot and then I could no longer see them. They were not moving very fast at all….no erratic movements. Just a moderate, steady pace and what appeared to be a steady climb. They did not seem to move further away from each other. I thought perhaps someone was flying drones. I then noticed more approaching….3. They all flew the! same heading, no erratic movements. More followed. In 3's, except for the second to last wave. There were 5 grouped together, then finally 3 more for a total of 21. The first 2 were from the SE, whereas the remainder seemed to come from a more due-south location, but all ended up passing over my home and headed NW/NNW. I never heard a sound and after passing over the house…maybe 500ft beyond the house, they seemed to just continue to ascend and lose their glow, fading to no light at all. But the lights didn't seem to disappear due to climbing in altitude. They just stopped glowing. I could no longer see them. It was almost like watching lantern light turn extinguish as you turn the knob. Really very strange.

After hearing your report on Coast to Coast of the orange lights seen in Seattle, I then looked at the video on your website and was stunned to see the exact same thing my husband and I saw. On this past New Years Eve at 11:45 pm, I was in my bedroom and saw out the window (we have a really high view above the city) an orange light moving across the sky. At first it looked a bit like a diamond shape but then it was clearly an orange Orb shape moving from the NW to the E. I called out for my husband who ran up to the kitchen to look out the window but he didn’t see it. Within a minute he started calling my name to come look and I ran down to the kitchen and another orange Orb was moving from the same starting point in the same direction. We went outside to listen for sounds of an engine and heard only silence, also there were no other lights on these things, just round orange lights moving across the sky but a little faster than what was seen in the video on your website.

on my roof on new yrs eve, saw 2 orange lights suddenly rise vertically from fox lake park area (slightly south or southwest of park-apparently)..thought they were fireworks at first, but they continued to rise and then became brighter as they were apparently headed east towards me..lights were pulsating regularly (not blinking off and on) they were moving too slowly for jets or prop planes and slowly turned north and paralleled I-95..as they progressed north the upper one descended and eventually disappeared in thin clouds..the lower one slowly ascended and turned slightly west of north and was visible for a couple more minutes staying on same heading until it slowly faded in distance..even at closest distance before turning north there was no sound..they didn't appear to be more than a mile or so away at that point- they were then much larger and brighter than any star-there were no "Navigation lights" (green or white)

Ypsilanti, MI
While driving east on Textile road my wife, oldest son an myself noticed an orange glowing object hovering above the road. We perceived the object to be much larger than just the glowing globe area as the rest was shrouded in a mist that obscured the trees along the road in front of us. I slowed the car as we approached, to almost a full stop and found that we were directly under the glowing area of the object. I looked carefully at this and can describe it as looking through a distorted lense. There was a lot going on in terms of changing colors and shapes however I believe I observed an appendage or a mast of some sort that appeared to be generating the mist or distortion that was shrouding the remainder of the object. This was very weird and very strange and distance perception seemed to be distorted. I disengaged my eyes from the object, pulled onto Cherrywood Dr. and my son and I exited the car to get a better look however the object was gone. My wife expressed concern that a man on the sidewalk was staring at us so we got back in the car, turned it around, turned right back onto Textile Rd. and continued eastbound. Shortly after turning back onto Textile we again acquired the object this time further to our east moving north and crossing over Textile road. As we got closer the object changed direction and begain moving in a northeasterly direction darting from side to side as it moved along. The object simply then vanished. We were very close to this thing and I believe it was only 20 to 30 feet from us as we observed the glowing area of it. Very weird and very strange.

I went inside and came out a few minutes later. They had returned and were much closer. They had the same appearance. Again, they appeared to almost dance around and drift along the tree tops. They floated across the road and disappeared down behind my neighbor's house. Witness provides no contact information. PD

There was a pulsating green light in the northern sky that lasted approximately 10 minutes, before quickly descending and disappearing in the horizon. Then a perfect formation of approximately 14 of very bright red-orange spheres starting coming out of the eastern sky heading over to the northwest, some disappearing, some heading west and keeping a firm position for approximately 5 minutes. A brief pause of about three minutes, before the rest of the spheres made same route, but this time in an ascending mode. All spheres made very quick ascent and descent moves.

Walked out our back door (facing west), saw a large sphere moving from north to south at an extreme speed. The sun was shining on it, appeared to be silver.

We had a rare power outage last night at approx 04:30. I was unable to sleep so walked out to the back yard. I noticed the moon had a ring around it and then saw a multi colored object in the sky. It was changing colors rapidly. It hovered in that spot for maybe a minute or two. It then just zipped away going up in a very quick and sudden movemwnt.

Bahamas (Bermuda triangle), Bahamas
On Dec. 28, 2015, while onboard a cruise ship headed north from a day in Nassau, I had just told my family to be on the lookout for strange lights that night as we were passing through the Bermuda Triangle. It was a beautiful clear night. At 7:45pm, while on our cabin balcony as the family was taking turns showering and getting ready to go to dinner, I noticed an amber light in the northwest sky that was not moving. I called my two teenage sons out to the balcony and told them the light appeared to be several miles away and was too low for an aircraft and too high for another ship. We watched for 10 minutes and the craft finally headed toward our ship! The craft came within 100 feet of our ship, 100 feet above the deck. It hovered for about 30 seconds, then it turned and headed west, faster than it had approached our ship. (( One or more of the witnesses is/are scheduled to appear on the Jeff Rense

Got home late afternoon, spotted nine large bright lights in a row fixed, motionless. The bright white lights seemed to be encapsulated keeping them together. I took a pic with my new phone and decided to record but did not know how. I went inside my home to try to figure out how, couldn't and stepped back outside. Took another and looked down to my phone, looked up and it was gone.

On the night of December 24th, for the first time in well, many years, my wife and I found ourselves alone on Christmas eve, We had since our oldest daughter (33 at the time ) always taken a drive around town to look at christams decorations as what would become a tradition for us, but this time we were alone. But , we chose to take a drive anyway, maybe more for the memories of times past then for us . We figured we take a short drive and go straight to the high end neighborhood of Traditions , with their multi million dollar homes and see what they had. We drove through their neighborhood and realized that folks just were not decorating the way they use too. Dissapointed, we decided to head back home , on our way home I noticed a house on a side street that had a nicely decorated house and decided to take a side trip and get a look, It was a sub division with one way in and one way out , basically just a big loop, we admired the house lights and continued! driving and realized we were coming back around to the entrance road, That's when my wife noticed a light over my left shoulder and said ( look ! what's that ? ) as I looked over my left shoulder I saw the biggest red ORB ever, it was 9'-12' across, moving around 100 mph from east to west , about 50' off the ground , I tried capturing it on video, but my camera wouldn't capture the light, I was able to get off one image as it was heading away, ( p.s..) I do have the video recording in which you can hear my reaction to what I'm seeing. Witness provides no contact information. PD

It first appeared to be a satellite that would be flying very low, or chopper that would be flying too high, a plane which light would be just too bright....odd we thought until it became just too bizarre when it actually stopped moving and remained stationary above our heads
