Thought they were satellites but one kept appearing after another, perfect straight line and perfect distance between objects, they appeared to eneter atmosphere at certain point then trail across sky until out of view..

Kalispell, MT
It was snowing, so there were no visible stars in the sky when I left to pick up my teenage son from work. Before I left my house I noticed an orange light in the sky with a red light directly underneath it. I immediately dismissed it as an airplane and left. On the way back from my son's work (only about half a mile away), we both noticed the orange light in the same spot where I saw it when I left to pick him up, only now there were three of them traveling south with no apparent pattern. They were moving close to each other, then further away, then close again. The first one fizzled out (for lack of better words), slowly followed by the other two, with the last one taking several seconds longer to fade out.

This was our third encounter in this area. We were returning to the Toronto area from Port Dover heading East on St Johns Rd. My wife noticed a scintillating star (22:40) ahead which was the same as our first encounter. After turning North on HWY 6, I started looking for a good place to get off the main road and she started unpacking my Nikon DSLR. After shooting a few shots directly out my driver side window at right angle to the road (42.857849 N -80.128051 E, bearing 77 degrees East, 20 degrees elevation 22:53-23:01 - dsc0475.jpg – dsc0488.jpg and dsc_0487.mov) and not being able to get a clear shot I switched to video. The object was cycling through the entire spectrum four times a second (Established by image DCS_0478.jpg, which was an accidental shot while still lining up the object, the motion in the shot is from the camera moving, but the shutter speed was ½ second and the entire colour spectrum is cycled twice). At the point I was sure it wasn’t a star or any natural object I had seen before, nor was it the ISS or a satellite. It didn’t have the lighting for a licensed aircraft. I thought it might be a drone until it had been visible for 30 minutes, I haven’t known any drones with the ability to stay aloft that long. We then packed up and travelled down the highway a few kilometers to another street in an attempt to triangulate a location. At that location we took some more video and photos (42.905104 N -80.099142 E, bearing 75 degrees East, 20 degrees elevation 23:10-23:12 - dsc0489.jpg – dsc0492.jpg and dsc_0491.mov) which turned out the same. We packed up again and headed out hoping to see some noticeable change in the bearing. While driving my wife attempted to get some photos with my camera while I was driving (DSC0492.jpg – DSC0503.jpg) with varying degrees of success. She also took some photos at the observation stops over my shoulder (Jarvis1-Jarvis3). We finally lost sight of the object as we merged onto the HWY403 as we entered Hamilton and came down the escarpment. We may have caught sight of the object in the predicted location according o my in-dash navigation system, but as we hadn’t had LOS through Hamilton, I’m not willing to guarantee that it is the same object. If it was, we still had sight of the object when we reached our destination at 01:00 in Brampton and lost sight behind buildings. At all times the Navigation system showed the object as being East and we could see it at 20 degrees elevation. At no point were we able to identify the object. The colour changes reminded me of old Commodore 64 programs that would cycle through the colour palette to create a flashing sprite. I still wonder if an object like this were seen 2000 years ago if it could have been the Star of Bethlehem and wondered how long it could keep the same position relative to the ground. Even the stars had shifted close to 20 degrees from the Earths rotation over the entire trip. Some of the images when image filters are used appear to show faint ghost copies of the object. We’re planning a follow-up trip for a week this summer in the same area to see if we can collect more data.

Burlington, NC
I was out with my dogs in the evening, being the sky-watcher that I am I noticed it is a mostly clear evening and two stationary really bright non-flashing white lights to the east. I watch the lights for minute or two then they start moving, one to the east, the other to the west. I also notice there is an airplane with it's flashing lights at a much, much higher altitude moving to the north east. The bright lights move a good distance from each other then stop. At this time I can only see the light that moved west. After coming to a stop it seemed to get smaller and smaller. I watched it for about 10 minutes before having to go back inside.

Palm Coast, FL
I was sitting outside having coffee with my mother before sunrise when she pointed up and asked "what is that ?". It appeared to be two extremely bright stars very close together in the South West sky, brighter than Jupiter and Saturn which were visible in the sky to the very far left of them. The lights were stationary for several moments before the lights dimmed to the same brightness as surrounding stars. Then they moved together rather quickly towards the north. One of them stopped and remained stationary while the other continued to move off to the north. The one that remained eventually faded out completely. Never have I seen anything like it before. The dog even reacted by acting very strangely, then scratching to get back into the house, then lay on her bed shaking.

Palmyra, VA
Took my dog out to do his business and I noticed a bright rectangular object in the south west sky. It was travelling away from us at a distance in an irregular pattern. Over a few minutes it became a bright white light before lighting the horizon. It was perfectly quiet, seemed large and a long ways away.

Fort Myers, FL
My husband and I were sitting in our driveway, plane watching, and 5 lights in a v shape flew over us, I'm estimating 8-10 thousand feet in the air. The lights were blurry in focus and not as bright as a plane. They were also flying faster in speed than an airplane. We use the plane finder app to spot planes and they did not show up on the app and that’s also how I’m estimating height from seeing planes fly over at that height. The lights made no sound as they flew over. There was a fed ex plane in the vicinity of the formation based on my plane finder. My husband and I both tried to video the event but it did not show up in the video.

Pembroke Pines, FL
I live in an area where you can see the planes going towards Fort Lauderdale Airport. Also in the vecinity there is a small airport for advertisement airplanes and helicopters. I also used to work as a night security guard outdoors. What I saw was not planes or helicopters. I was walking out of a food store when I saw a bright, steady red light moving east to west which at first appeared to be an airplane. I noticed immediately it was not blinking but did not have the characteristics of a helicopter in flight at night. I tried to photograph and video it with my cellphone. Just as I was putting away the phone, I saw an identical object move in the same direction just a short distance behind the previous one. For about 7 seconds I could see both bright red lights moving at the same speed. I tried to take pictures and video. I drove towards a neighboring area away from the bright street lights. I had the impression that the air traffic was off, as planes appeared to be circling the airport. I could count 4 or 5 airplanes, clearly seen as blinking lights. Even airplanes that were moving away appeared like distant blinking dots. A small airplane landing at the little airport nearby appeared as one red light not too bright with a blinking red light. It was landing west to east and it was easy to identify as a small airplane. At this point, I spotted the third, even brighter red light in the same point and moving in the same direction as the other two. This was about 21:10 hours. I walked away from my car to photograph and video it as it was even more clear than the other two and again did not resemble a plane. No sound could be heard at all. Even the regular planes I could hear when they are visible that way, much more helicopters. After I lost sight of the third light, I waited about 15 more minutes but could not see anything besides planes. On video the planes also appear as blinking lights, small and white or white and red.

Gilbert, AR
February 6, 2019. Gilbert, Ar 18:30 pm Heard a loud roaring sound, like a jet engine over the top of our house. It went on and on for approximately 30 minutes. We did not see anything when we looked out due to the porch roof blocking the sky. Neighbor said they saw 5 lights hovering over our house. In Clinton, Ar, someone saw 6 lights, in Marshall, Ar, someone saw 3 lights.

San Luis Obispo, CA
I was watching a video outside and my dog was barking and I could hear a helicopter close and when I looked up I saw what I thought was irregular aircraft light however it was flashing like it was made of fire it was moving across the sky slowly and then it let out a small red flashing light that slowly followed behind it and then stopped in the air the original fire-lite proceeded to what appears to be leaving the atmosphere out into space then eventually the red light stop flashing and disappeared all the while a closed helicopter was hovering with no lights I never saw the helicopter but the second original flashing light is dim out of sight there were several series of rumbles the helicopter with no lights hovered around for another 30 seconds and then slowly left in the opposite direction does the original light had left that in the sphere in. this is the second time that I've seen a glowing flashing light leaves behind red flashing lights and then leave! it's as if something's being dropped off.

Nipomo, CA
It was traveling diagonally and seemed to be moving slowly. I started to record a video on my phone as it maintained its trajectory. I thought it must be a drone, so I stopped recording. As soon as I did, it then split into 3 lights that were lined up horizontally for a second. There was the original large orangish color light, a small blue light and a white blinking light. The blue light then disappeared and the blinking light followed further behind the larger light at the same trajectory. I started to record again after it split but not for too long. I got freaked out and ran home! I also noticed a noise that is hard to describe. It was almost like a low pitched hum. ((ADDENDUM FROM A VISITOR TO OUR WEBSITE)) Peter, What the witness observed in Nipomo, CA, was an unarmed Minuteman III missile launched from VAFB. It was launched at 11:01 pm. The flashing light seen following was the tumbling first stage. A friend took this picture which shows the main missile and the booster behind. This picture was taken from Shell Beach, CA, and would have been visible from San Luis Obispo, CA, as well. ((END ADDENDUM))

MY wife (a skeptic) and I were walking the dog a little after 10pm and I was looking up at the stars, as I always do, and I saw a small light in the sky. I called out the UFO, pointing at it, to my wife. I always do this with what is obviously planes which amuses her, and I actually did think this was a plane at first. As usual, I asked her if she saw any blinking (planes have blinking lights), and she watched it ready to tell me she sees it blinking. This took longer than usual and we both stopped walking. She said “there, it blinked. Wait, no it just got dimmer… I don’t like the way it’s moving.”. This was as the light started moving faster, faster, in my opinion, then most planes move across the sky. In all this time there was no blinking lights, though the light did get brighter and dimmer. I noticed some barely seen substance, or objects, falling from the light as it was moving, It almost looked like dust, but faintly glowing just as it dropped and then stopped glowing. I told my wife that I thought that was a real one. And I flashed my flash light at it, not that I thought my light would even reach that far, but immediately after I flashed my light at it, the UFO blinked and then started to fade out as it seemed to rise in the sky. Looking to the right, I saw that an actual airplane was flying in the general direction the light seemed to be. As the plane got closer the light faded completely and did not reappear. My wife still doesn’t want to admit it was an actual UFO, but she has no explanation for this one. - It's not an option below, but I'd prefer to be emailed than called. We assume the date of the sighting was February 05th, and have amended the original date. We will confirm the date with the witness, and repost the report. PD

Lee, MA
Was driving east on the mass pike in western ma. Leaving Lee Ma driving to Westfield exit. We saw bright white light stationary in the sky the whole ride while on the pike. When I got home around 8 pm or a few min after that I went outside to feed my horses. As soon as I stepped out on my deck, a large craft was flying low over my home. It was square or diamond shaped...it was dark, but had lights underneath, made a noise but not too loud, no wings, no tail. Flew slow and low heading north. I live 15 min from an air force base...so maybe a military craft?? Was it the bright light I saw on ride home? I don't know. But I've never seen anything like either of these. Wish I captured it on video.

Pecks Pond, PA
Small light, comes every evening/early morning same times 2-4am. Sometimes closer, sometimes farther. Moves side to side or up and down VERY fast. Than suddenly stops. Been hoping for days. We stay up to check. Even in clouds it’s there. Tried to video but wasn’t showing up, will try again from outside on a nice evening. We suspect a star or planet. PD

Snohomish, WA
Hello Peter, I've heard you on Rense several times. 7:10 AM, I am in Snohomish. Looking at the waning crescent moon in the south-southeastern sky, at 1-1/2 fingerwidths out at the 7 o'clock position is a dim dot, I presume Venus. Three fingers east of this dim dot is a much brighter dot, stationary now for at least 15 minutes. Possibly an unusual planetary configuration...? --I tried taking a photo with my cellphone, and the bright dot is visible in it. There is also in the photo a chemtrail running near the bright dot and a second about equally bright dot near the first one, neither of which is visible to the naked eye. --7:19 now, and both "dim Venus" and the bright dot are still visible in the dawn light. --7:26, the bright dot is still visible. Could it be that the bright dot is Venus and it just happens to be extraordinarily close and/or bright, and the dimmer visible dot is another planet which just happens to be by coincidence very close to ! the moon? Planets, Venus and Jupiter?? PD

Kenilworth, NJ
January 30, 2019, 5:30 am. I was in the driveway looking at the Moon, Jupiter, and Venus. It was a very clear and cold morning. I decided to look for constellations, if I could at least see a few stars in one since there is a lot of light pollution. I didn't see any constellations, just a few random stars, here and there. Then I looked straight overhead and saw two stars close together and they looked very high up there. I thought it was strange they were so close together. I wasn't looking at them too long when one star started to do figure 8's around the other star. It did it a few times then it started moving to the right and away, at a speed that wasn't fast or slow. The other star never moved at all. They looked like a flat white color. Didn't have sparkle to them and they weren't as bright as the other stars in the sky.

Twin Falls, ID
On the night of January 29th, 2019, I was driving home from a private tutoring session when in the sky I saw two solid orange lights flying through the night sky at matching speeds, one light lower and more to the right than the other. At first I thought it was just an airplane but then I quickly realized there was no way that was possible, it was moving too fast and the two lights were too far apart to be an airplane. They were flying towards the Northwest with one lower and further away from the other. After about ten to twenty seconds, they disappeared into the sky. I being a avid fan of reading about UFO's and conspiracy theories have always enjoyed the topic but been a skeptic about it all. Skepticism aside, I thoroughly believe that what I saw was some sort of a UFO.

Clermont, FL
I was heading east on Highway 50 in Clermont, Florida for work this morning, 1/29/2019 at 5:35 AM., Saw a pair of bright lights headed east at around 500’, moving at a speed of about 200 miles/hour. The lights were not flashing, and one was immediately above the other either on a single structure or in very tight formation. Their relative position to one another did not deviate, and they did not turn. They drove directly eastward in a straight path into the clouds above Orlando. When it was overhead, I could not see a structure against the black night sky. I only saw the top light as bright orange, and the lower light as bright white. This structure/formation did not make any noise like a low flying jet on approach. As I proceeded east from Hwy 50 to the Florida Turnpike, I saw the flashing lights of approaching aircraft from normal planes. What I saw did not look like these.

Chino, CA
I observed 3 orange lights traveling in a southeast direction three at a time. They traveled over Pomona and over my house in Chino. Aircraft from ONT were traveling West from ONT airport. The first 3 orange lights traveled about a half mile apart and disappeared in the low clouds. The next three traveled in the same path and the last one stopped overhead, hovered for about 10 seconds and disappeared in an upward motion.

Haiku (Maui), HI
Bright light moving erratically high in the sky North/Northeast. Light would appear bright then disappear and then reappear and move erratically - sometimes striking across the sky and then disappearing. A few times it seemed to explode into a grouping of smaller lights and then disappears. Once it appeared as four lights in a perfect square. Tried to photograph, but couldn’t.

Puyallup, WA
High up, looked like a very bright star. Jerky (but still smooth?) stop-and-go motions until it seemed to go up (getting smaller) and eventually disappearing completely in the night sky.
