The 26th and 27th, my husband and daughter have witnessed a very bright light in the sky. At first it looks like a star but you notice its too close to be a star. It shines very bright then dims. It hovers for quite awhile then moves so slow you can safely tell it has moved. It stays beside the path of the airplanes .

Two bright lights coming towards Earth from the North. I was able to obtain pictures and video of one object in particular that appeared to be shooting light and other photo and videos included different sizes and the objects disappearing into the atmosphere. Tonight was very clear with very few clouds. There was no aircraft traffic noted in the area. Very quiet night.

Been seeing 3 bright lights in the sky. They are too bright to be stars. They slowly move across the sky as the night goes on. Was driving down 62 from rosine to beaver dam and that's when I see all 3 of them at once. One by the moon. It was the lowest. It looked like the shape of a ship. Then the other two were spaced evenly apart across the sky. They just looked like really really bright stars. They appear every night in the sky over Ohio county (Hartford) Kentucky. Not sure what they are but definitely sure they aren't stars. Has anyone else seen these bright lights? Tonight they disappeared early tonight around midnight but I can usually still see them when coming inside to go to bed at 1:00am. They are in the sky every night. They changed color from white to yellow to red.

I was outside with my binoculars around 6am this morning, drinking coffee and looking at the sky. I was specifically looking at Orion's Belt, which is visible right now early in the morning. It was still dark out. While looking at the center star of Orion's belt, I saw a small light fly by at a high rate of speed. I followed the light and watched it fly in a southeasterly direction. I watched it for several seconds. After about 10 seconds the light stopped and made a "U" turn. After the U turn, I brought the binoculars down to see if I could observe the object with the naked eye. I could not. I was about to re-acquire the object with my binoculars when I saw a bright flash from the object, just to the left of Orion's belt. After the flash, I never saw the object again.

I was on my bike going along on a moor looked up to the sky to see a bright light which was quite close, and was getting lower but not straight down, diagonal across the sky. This continued for between 5 and 10 seconds before disappearing.

After coming out to check the sky's again for the 3rd or 4th time, I located the pair of "marker stars" I'd been using to keep track of the skies. That's when one of the two stars began moving quickly to the west, then suddenly shooting upwards and disappearing in less than a second.

I looked out a south facing window to see if anything odd was in the sky. I didn't see anything up there but I did see a weird light close to the ground,like I have been seeing for a while. This was one bright white light moving around in an empty lot close to our house, it made no sound, but moved like someone walking around holding a flashlight. It had a bouncy movement, and there was no sound at all, and no sound from the dry grass and weeds in the lot like the sound someone walking around would make. Also there was no visible being of any kind with the light. The light was a single beam about 4 or 5 inches in diameter. I went to our north facing bedroom window to see if anything was on that side of the house, and there was what looked like a pair of lights moving together hovering about 5" above our streetabout 30 feet away. At first I thought they were a reflection from a porch light, but they were moving very slowly from the west end of our street toward the east. This is the third time I have seen the lights on this side of the house, they make no sound at all and whatever this is, it is totally invisible except for the light, which can be dim or bright, and are sometimes an orange or white beam. I watched them for about 20 minutes, they would move very slowly back and forth along our street, but only in the dark areas, never near a porch light, and we have no street lights on our street. They kept stopping in front of our nextdoor neighbors house west of us, p.o he never has a light on at night so I just watched them for a while. They kept going over a small area around his front yard and driveway. These lights are probably the same ones I saw a couple of weeks ago going over another neighbors trash can, and also moving around two different neighbors cars. Feels like we are being studied by our Star Ancestors.

One person opened their window on an overnight flight from Shanghai to Vanvouver. Ahead of the plane on the right were many extremely bright lights. They seemed like they were up in the sky, but below the plane. They were stationary. There were more and more and they got extremely bright as we passed by. Then green and yellow lights also appeared. We flew by and they stayed where they were. In total, we witnessed these lights for about 30 minutes

Vergennes, VT
At the Vergennes Job Corps center, my friend (_null_) and my roommate were all talking about UFO sightings and the Rake that they’ve claimed to see. (_null_)’s roommate, who is in the room right next to mine, comes running in, exclaiming to look out of the window. We look out the window, and (_null_) returns to his room to see, since there are only two windows in my room. I see right above the trees, a light that my three friends have seen before. A small bright light, that is just close enough for me to see that there are multiple lights; one big one up top (thinking it’s the front), and about 2 to 3 in back (lower than the big one. Depth wasn’t present, but it would make sense). After about five minutes of staring at it, it seems the clouds are covering it slowly. It dims, then fades away. Meanwhile, there is a dim plane with green and red lights flying with a trajectory that goes just under the big light(s). It too disappears into the clouds, but get this: what I thought was the original light, appeared right where the plane vanished, and it started moving the direct opposite direction the plane was moving. It kept moving at a decent speed. Not fast, but not super slow either. After that disappears behind the side of the building, we see the original light again. I kept staring at that light for about another thirty minutes, as it faded, and came back a few times, even when the clouds that I could kind of see, weren’t in the way, but that is questionable. It shot upwards, looking like a shooting star, and was completely inaudible. My thought, is that if it is a non-human spacecraft, it was a remote observer. Scanning, observing, et cetera until enough information was received, and flew to the next observation point.

Yellow circle light in sky zig-zagging through the sky. Went from Frankfort towards Louisville direction. Light dimmed from bright light to fishing bar of lights. High volume of airplanes flew over afterward.

i was sitting outside on my front deck (faces to the south) looking at the stars and i thought i saw a flash in the southeastern sky, near the lower left side of the moon. i kept staring in the same area to see if i would see it again when i saw a star near the right lower side of the moon start to move. it moved very quickly from the south east to the north east in my view and then stopped. there was no noise, no trail. i went inside the house to get my cell phone and when i got back outside, i did not see any further movement.

Brisbane (Australia) · Australia
My daughter and I saw a UFO (her first ever!). I was driving, she was watching a very bright light she though was a star, which was just still in the sky for a good few minutes (not getting bigger or smaller), and then it dropped straight down to the ground, too fast for a drone (and too bright) and too slow and vertical for a meteor. An extremely bright white light. I was getting lost at that moment (trying to take a short cut which didn't work out!) but when I got home I checked where we were on Google Maps. We were in the suburb of Berrinba and the ufo was in the South West direction of Brisbane. It looked to be about at least 5 telegraph poles high, but it was hard to say how far away it was. It was a very bright cool light, as bright as a welder's arc, but it didn't really light up the rest of the sky around it.

While walking dog at 0045 hours, observed a very bright white light about 20 degrees above the horizon to the north, trailed by a dim object moving to the north or NE. Lead object was extremely bright, no evidence of flashing anti-collision lights. I would estimate they were 20-30 miles away. Lead object brightness faded out after ten or so seconds; trailing object remained dim. Verified it was not ISS, nor any apparent satellites passing over (GPS 16 made a pass about that time, however these were two distinct objects). I’ve seen past ISS flyovers, but the lead object was extremely bright until it faded, and there was no evidence of military activity at the time.

Le témoin est avec un ami en forêt pour faire quelques photos astronomiques du ciel. Soudain, son attention est attirée par un point lumineux possédant une magnitude proche de celle de Vénus qui apparaît près de la constellation de la Petite Ourse, en bordure de Céphée. Il l’observe un très court instant, il est alors 23h08. Le PAN lui a semblé statique.Un seul témoignage est recueilli. L’endroit d’apparition du PAN, les données disponibles dans le témoignage ne sont pas de nature très étrange (voir le compte rendu d'enquête). Le seul aspect étrange pourrait être la stabilité du PAN, mais cela s’explique par le fait que le satellite donnait l’impression de venir vers le témoin en passant quasi à sa verticale. Le témoin est très précis dans son observation ce qui permet une confirmation du positionnement du PAN et un recoupement avec l’hypothèse privilégiée d’une réflexion du soleil sur un objet orbitant autour de la Terre. L’étude du dossier conclut avec une méprise simple d’un flash satellite qui est très probable compte tenu de la position du débris de satellite identifié. Le GEIPAN classe en A : méprise avec un flash du Satellite Iridium 33 P (débris). [GEIPAN classification A — Flash iridium]

Two bright distant objects, hovering in the same spot in the sky near the Constellation Cassiopeia for 5 seconds. I have been an amateur astronomer for 17 years, as I was walking and looking up at the stars, saw these two bright lights that were not moving (I stood still and saw they are not moving). (Luminosity: Magnitude -2). Surprised, I asked my Mom who was walking next to me to look up, she saw them. Then 2 seconds later the two bright objects dimmed down inmediately and became faint (magnitude +3) while still on the same spot. Then the two started moving at the same time and with the same speed, and with the same bearing/direction. The two were about 2 degrees apart. (The apparent size of 4 fullmoons apart) They travelled for about 5 degrees and then completely faded and disappeared in what I can describe as a fast upward movement. They were not planes, did not move at the speeds of commercial planes or jet fighters at high altitudes. They were also ! not movIng at the speeds of the various sattelites I have seen and tracked in the past. Checked my app for nearby sattelites. None nearby in that reigon of the sky or even remotely close. I have always believed UFO stories are fake. I have a scientific outlook, but this is the first time I am seeing something that I cannot identify with anything I have ever seen before. The two objects did not twinkle. So my first thoughts was hey those are two planets, but there are no conjunctions tonight, also that’s not the right place in the sky for seeing planets. Then I thought they cannot be Supernovae, you can’t get two of the explode at the same time. I am quite familiar with this region of the sky, it’s one of my favorite constellations.
