Smith Valley, NV
It was around 9 p.m. and I had just got home. As I started to walk inside I noticed a weird bright orange light that stuck out. I stopped and looked at it and it slowly hovered up higher in the sky, then it started to slowly move forward and when it did lights started flashing on it. I could hear it also. Then it just disappeared into the night. This isn't the first time I've seen it either. It or other UFOs that look the same seem to come around every night for about a week or so, and then I won't see or hear them for awhile and they come back.

Burlington, NC
I was on the way to work and at mile marker 135, heading east on 85N. To the ENE, I noticed a green stationary light that was brighter than any visible star, and was the only light in the sky in the pre-dawn. As I was observing the light, it began to dive at an angle toward the ground at a high rate of speed, and faded very quickly to nothing as it neared the ground. The entire experience lasted around five seconds and was over. I do not drink or use recreational drugs, and was on my way to work when I saw it. I’ve lived in four states on both coasts and this is the first object I’ve seen whose anomalous nature I’m confident enough to actually report. I watch the sky often, as I am interested in astronomy and enjoy thinking about the cosmos, and I’ve never seen anything like this. I would say it could have been a meteorite, but it started out stationary and was a bright green color.

Suffolk, VA
It was what appeared to be a US military Jet flying along side a supremely bright light, color was unlike anything I have seen. After flying through a cloud the military aircraft kept flying and the second craft (light) was simply gone, as if it vanished. The jet was at full thrust as its engine was glowing and based upon a the size of the jet they were at a decent altitude moving at speeds I can not describe. Crossing nearly the full sky in a matter of seconds. I was driving so no photos or videos were taken.

Colorado Springs, CO
The lights did not stay on; they would fade on and off. Sometimes one would appear and disappear a few times before the other would appear again, other times they would alternate, and other times they would both stay on for a couple seconds simultaneously. The lights never moved and would reappear exactly where they had disappeared. This is what I found most unusual; a normal aircraft wouldn't stay in the exact same spot without falling out of the sky. I watched for about 8 minutes, but then left, although the event was still ongoing.

Yorktown, VA
I was on my way to school in the morning with my father, I stopped at the intersection right by the Yorktown Naval Weapons Station, we came to a stop, and right after we saw a bright light moving across our sightline. I looked up just in time to see it for about 5 seconds or so, then it started moving South-South-East towards the Deer Run Golf Course. It moved rather quickly, about 200mph or so. My friend, who lives near where the object was heading also noted the object and repeated the same sight that I did. It was perfectly silent. One other oddity is my recollection of the event, I only know the basics of what happened, I'm sorry that I can't provide more details to the event, and hope this can assist you. If you need to get in contact with me, please email me, it is the quickest way for me to respond.

Hurricane, WV
Date/Time: Monday, January 7, 2019 at approximately 7:30 p.m. Location: Teays Lane, Hurricane, WV. I was outside walking my dog, when she became unusually spooked. I looked due south and noticed a solid green light that, with the glow of the clouds around it, looked to be just under half the size of a full moon in the night sky. It moved north directly overhead and glowed with a kind of high intensity neon green. I have never seen a colored light shine through the clouds so brightly. At the time, the national weather service reported a cloud ceiling of 2,300 feet, and there was very light rain. I have an app called Flight Radar 24. I checked this app, and no aircrafts with a transponder were anywhere within 50 miles of my location. Being familiar with aviation and having flown an aircraft before, I looked for an accompanying red light or even a white strobe light and there were none. The object made no noise at all, and the night was quiet enough to have heard either a propeller or jet engine at high altitude. The intensity of the light did not change, and comparing it with other aircraft that typically fly over, it appeared to have a ground speed of well over 1000 mph. Overall, it took approximately 1 minute to go from the southern horizon to disappear across the northern horizon. These times were documented by a text I sent to my wife immediately before seeing it, and a phone call to my wife when it was disappearing to the north. I tried to take a video with my cell phone but was unable to keep up with the object to even view it in the screen. The path it took was directly over the intersection of route 34 and Interstate 64 in Teays Valley, WV. It traveled in a straight line, made no turns, and did not appear to change altitude. I reported this to WSAZ news who hadn’t received any reports yet.

Honolulu, HI
A bright light seemed to appear out of nowhere off the coast of Hawaii Kai on Oahu, while I was running around Diamond Head Crater. The object appeared to be round and fluctuated in brightness and color. It turned from white to a pink-ish color just before it moved horizontally across the sky and disappeared from view. In the video I took, it also appears to fluctuate in size and at one point, there appears to be two objects right next to each other or touching. It’s hard to tell if that is just because of the poor video quality on my phone or not. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Santa Fe, NM
Bright, glaring light seen from Eldorado through complete sunless fog in late afternoon. A fog covered the mountains beyond Santa Fe and they were hardly visible, yet a very bright white light was seen fading and brightening for about 10-15 minutes before suddenly seeming to disappear back beyond the mountains. The light seemed to drift slightly around the same location for several minutes, growing duller and then suddenly becoming glaring again.

Orlando, FL
last night at around 1:30 a.m. i went out side and saw something that could be a ufo in the sky that hovered in the same area for 20 to 30 mins and took photos and video of it as it blinked in and out. did not seem to be an air plane or helicopter and seemed to kind of be a light source that expanded and contracted. sent pictures and a video.

Port St. Lucie, FL
we saw about 10-15 lights flying from the west to the east, they we're not blinking, and in no particular formation. they changed in speeds before they completely disappeared, then we saw 2 more that we're way behind. my FAA app on my phone had no planes, so was either a military operation, or completely unidentifiable with no flashing red/green lights. i took a video with 2 cellphones, but it was to dark to see anything

Stayton, OR
I was driving on the Hwy in between the town's of Jefferson,Oregon and Stayton,Oregon and I just passed through the town of Marion, Oregon, and came to the only stop sign on that road when I looked up in the night sky towards the east when I saw a orange ball of light moving at a high rate of speed from the south to the north! It had no flashing FAA lights and after about 45 seconds to a minute it turn more red then orange and changed the direction from south to north to more the direction of N.NE AND before I knew it it disappeared the wind is blowing hard tonight about 25 to 35 mph, to fast for any kind of drone to be flying!!!

3 bright dots of light not stars. Flashing green, red, blue? From my perspective, appear in the sky, directly in line with Callaway nuclear plant. Strobing but not moving. Miles apart from each other. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Herriman, UT
Couldn’t sleep which is common for me. We have a brand new house and in the master bedroom the shutters have yet to be installed. I was staring out the window and saw a bright light and I knew this was not right. I took many videos and pictures and have shared with family that all believe. This is something strange. After watching, taking videos and pictures, I finally turned around and went to bed. I followed this light for over 4 hrs. Something is not right about this object. Utah is a state where we always see strange objects. I’m just glad I took video and pics for my own sanity.

Very close light right above Tree Line in backyard looked as if it was coming towards me then your stopped and moved back and forth stayed White but moved around so I figured it was not a planet it had to be some sort of craft and I recorded multiple videos of it nothing I had ever seen before very close bright light.

Spring Grove/Fox Lake, IL
Rideshare experience; While driving for Uber, noticed a large super bright stationary light in what I would guess was the NW sky. My passenger and I watched it for roughly 20 minutes between Lakemoor, Il and Spring Grove, Il. It never moved. Then somewhere after 20-25 minutes, it disappeared. I went to see if it was still there while driving and it was gone. It certainly was not an airplane in que, loitering for landing permission at Ohare. It was stationary for at least 20 minutes without changing in size or brightness. While I chose "there were lights on the object," I never saw an object, merely the lights on the object.

Omaha, NE
On January 3rd, 2019, at approximately 22:30 to 23:00, I observed a large, stationary object low in the southeast sky. My girlfriend, a person on YouTube and I all observed it. At first glance the object could have been mistaken for Venus but it was too large. As a process of elimination, I verified that there were no planets or major stars at that location with Google night sky and manual observations of celestial bodies. I also eliminated the possibility of aircraft easily as there were several commercial aircraft flying at different altitudes and directions. All the aircraft were very small in comparison. The object appeared to be round but pulsed brightly in a fashion that made it look like it was flaring the light in a sort of diamond shape. The object cycled through multiple colors at a steady rate and exhibited a range of color beyond what is seen on commercial and private aircraft. There was no sound but I can't say for sure it was silent as it seemed to be several miles away across the city. I assumed that this object had to have been seen by more people than myself due to its size, color shifting and duration that it was visible. I scanned the local news the following day and none of them mentored it. I did find a video on YouTube of someone else that did see it, and they shot a video of it with their phone. I didn't stay out to see the object disappear but the person shooting the video did. They filmed it until it just vanished from sight. It didn't fly away. It faded from view while never moving during the entire episode. I will attempt to upload the video or link it for you to review. I didn't try recording it myself because my phone camera doesn't zoom out to distances that far well and the video from the other person I found does not properly show exactly how large and brilliant the object actually was.
