San Ramon, CA
At 7:20PM this evening my wife and I were sitting on a bench in out backyard. I was looking up at the southern sky about 35 degrees above the horizon and spotted a very small but very bright light source that quickly dimmed and brightened as it appeared to be stationary but rising rapidly. My thought at the time was that it was an irregularly shaped object reflecting the light of the setting sun, and the intensity of the light ranged from ‘out’ to very bright. At the same time, however, it appeared to be climbing rapidly. After about a minute my wife was able to see it as well. Again, it was a deep orange color, varied greatly in brightness, was as small as a small star (like half the size of Sirius, but visible in daylight), and rising. I was able to see it in binoculars but only briefly. I would believe it was well above regular aircraft altitudes, and near the height of a satellite, but again stationary and climbing. No sound could be heard. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I was out on my usual patrol. I exit a building, specifically, a small gym, here at my worksite. I then quickly look up and right over my head a very bright but silent light passed right above me and descended about half a mile away making no noise whatsoever. It looked very similar to a meteor shower although I don't recall meteor showers flying very close to ground level, below a normal aircraft would fly.

Summersville, WV
Looked out the front door at around 11pm and saw a very bright light in the sky that at first i thought was a star. It was changing colors and when I saw a plane fly by it I noticed it started to move and then stopped again. After watching for several minutes I noticed several blinking lights in the sky above a mountain in the distance that appeared to blink at random intervals, almost like they were communicating. They would blink blue and red. I noticed a large amount of planes in the sky, at one point I counted four planes in the sky at one time. I went back inside for around fifteen minutes and came back but the bright light was nowhere to be found. The blinking lights and planes are still in the sky at this time.

I can only remember the way this light made me feel- it was quiet as I rolled my window down as I asked my now husband to stop so I could photograph the strange beams of light. Their strake contrast on the night sky was shocking. The lights were not moving. People slowed on the highway but no one stopped not even my husband.

Ozark, MO
Noticed a bright white object in the daytime sky very high up while sitting on the deck.. Thought it was another jet, but it wasn't moving and much higher then they fly.. Then maybe a star but it didn't seen round.. Thought it might be the Space Station or a Satellite.. Got my Binoculars out and realized only part of it was reflecting the sunlight.. Tried to look at the unlighted part, but it was was a hazy shadow on the top and bottom.. Was unable tell what the shaded part of it looked like.. The lighted part was NOT round but long egg shaped.. Watched it for over 5 minutes..look away to say something to my wife and when I looked back up it was gone..Just gone.. I'm talking only 5 seconds.. I jumped up and tried to find it but NOTHING.. I know something was there because I watched it for so long… Was going to try and get a picture on my phone but my wife was talking to our daughter and I never got the chance to..

Frazeysburg, OH
I was outside at night and focused on a star. It seemed to be getting brighter and brighter without actually moving. It seemed like it was getting closer. It was yellow/orange and it was getting really intense. At that moment I saw something out of the corner of my eye and when I looked it was another star/light with the same coloring and the same intensity. As I shifted back to see the other, it was very apparent that It was dimming a bit and then it just flew off quickly. At this time there were other planes that were active and by comparison the light was way faster. I was very confused and then I focused on the other bright light. This light got brighter then dimmer and much like the last light flew away quickly. None of these lights crossed paths.

Tichborne (N of Kingston)(Canada), ON · Canada
On the Night of August 28, 2019, there were two of us out at a cottage on Eagle Lake by Tichborne, Ontario, north of Kingston about 45 minutes. We went out to the porch and it was between 9:45 – 10:15. As soon as we opened the front door and walked out we were looking towards the West, and immediately I noticed a bright flashing star. I said oh look “it’s probably an iridium flare”. (Problem is I’ve seen plenty of iridium flares over the years and to my best knowledge they travel at a steady speed and would look like a star getting very bright and then going back dim until you can’t see it and I don’t think I’ve seen them last for more than maybe 10-15 seconds). This was different, it moved from West to East and as I walked out I saw it flash so I thought that would be the end of it, but then it flashed again went dim, then flashed again and continued to do so about 5-10 times while moving (it was hard to tell if it was going in a completely straight line or if it was zig zagging as I had just got outside and my eyes were still getting adjusted). Finally it reached directly above our location and it flashed so intensely bright my friend and I both said “WHOA” out loud and then disappeared…about 3-5 seconds later BAM it happens again and Flashed just as bright. This time it appeared as though it left a slight trail as the light went dim and it disappeared heading still in the East direction. From the point of walking out the door to when it flashed and disappeared I would say was close to 1:30-2 minutes in duration. I have never seen an iridium flare get that bright before, nor have I seen it flash multiple times only ever once. When I do a quick search it says that it could be something known as a tumbling rocket body. I don’t think it was this either though. We went around back where it was darker to see if we could see the object again, and sure enough 30 minutes later we saw it two more times. The 2nd incident it only flashed maybe 3-5 times and was still moving but again couldn’t tell if it was in a straight line or not (approx. headed East). The flashes were nowhere near as bright as the last two we saw on the first incident. The 3rd was similar to the second, straight overhead and only a couple of flashes before we couldn’t see it. There was only about 5 minutes or less between the 2nd and 3rd incident.

Netarts, OR
While on the beach around 21:15 looking north from Happy Camp towards Seaside, OR. We noticed 4 red lights going south around 100 feet apart and maybe 1 to 1 1/2 miles up. They started to turn and go back North when they got to Neterts Bay, at this point they started to get closer to each other and 2 of the 4 lights joined together. At this point the 2 that joined became brighter. The 3ed light was about to join with the first 2 and those lights went out of sight going North back towards Seaside followed by the 4 light. The whole thing lasted maybe 7-10 minutes.

Hornell, NY
Myself, son and friend seen an object around 50 to 100 ft from us in the sky. This object was stationary. It was bright white at the top and bright blue at the bottom. I was hoping this was some kind of air show but my research hasn't discovered this. I do have video coverage although it isn't the best phone it still shows a craft to which I've explained.

Colorado Springs, CO
While taking our friend home with my girlfriend, we drove down a sloped hill. Spotted by our friend first, we all saw a fireball about 8,000 feet high, it stayed there for ten seconds, before I started recording as it descended down to 2,000 feet and began to fade and disappear. The light was orange in colour and glowed brightly, it was around the size of 4 stars in the night sky.

Ok, this sounds crazy, I have never wanted to do this but I have to. I am just lying in my bed looking at the stars out the window. What I thought was just a bright star started to move in unorganized little movements(from what I can see) it almost feels like an illusion when I watch it. Even when I look slightly to the left or right of it to see I'd maybe it's just my eyes it moves some more. Call me crazy but it's been around the same area since the fire started in Brazil. I honest to God thought it was the "north star" when I first seen it, but it keeps jerking ever so slightly around. I'm trying to convince myself it's the rotation of the planet pranking my mind or I something but I can't understand why it looks the way it does. I'm trying to convince myself it's my eyes playing tricks but no other star is doing it. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Lockhart, TX
Stepped outside of apartments at 142 and toll road 130. Was looking up at the clouds to see if chance of rain. While looking north east I had noticed a dull light in the sky. I thought at first maybe a drone but realized it had no actual shape or flashing colored lights. It didn't have any sound and moved extremely fast and changed directions in an instant. It appeared to be extremely high in the sky because it would disappear in and out of the very high clouds. I watched it dart around the sky for about 30 seconds before it made its final disappearance in the clouds not to be seen again. It didn't have an actual shape from what I could tell just a dull white light.

A very bright orange light caught my attention. I looked; it was larger than any star (5x) moving slowly. I couldn’t tell what it was. It shrunk to nothing in a matter of seconds. I assume it was moving away from me, or up.

Randsburg, CA
I’m an amateur photographer, and today, my wife and I visited Randsburg, California, specifically to take pictures of that old mining town. I took a bunch; afterward, I returned to my home in Lancaster, California and downloaded them from my cameras. After the download was completed, I reviewed each picture for clarity, etc. When I came to this one, it showed a “teardrop” type light in the upper portion of the photograph with a large halo surrounding it. I didn’t notice the halo at first, I just wondered why the light was in that picture. At first, I didn’t think to much about, but as I reviewed them a second time, I began to wonder more about that light. Initially, I thought it reflected of something, so I enlarged the picture and the halo became more evident. I checked the area all around it, regular and enlarged, and I couldn’t see anything that would cause that light to be in the picture. This may not be nothing at all, but it doesn’t show up in any of my other pictures. I don’t want to waste anyone’s time, but I thought maybe I should let someone know about it. I went online and asked where to submit a report for strange sightings and saw your site. Maybe you would be interesting in looking at the picture, I don’t know. If you are interested, I have the pictures and will be glad to send you a copy. Thank you.
