The sun was just about to rise there was a red glow in the sky. As I reached for my cell phone to take a picture, the objects lights dimmed and the object slowly moved east and was soon out of sight with the speed of light!

I went outside to go to my car and saw what looked like a very odd, low-hanging star in the distance. All the stars were out, but this one looked very yellow and seemed to be flickering. I stared at it for about 20 minutes and it appeared to be hovering in place. A plane passed nearby, and this looked nothing like the plane whatsoever. I've also seen helicopters, chinese lanterns, swamp gas and the northern lights before. This was nothing at all like any of those. I was staring and staring, totally mesmerized. I decided to run inside for a minute to grab my phone. I doubted that I could get a good picture as the object was so far away and it was very dark, but I was going to try. I also tweeted out to people on twitter about it, to see if anyone else in my city could see the bright light and if they knew what it might be. When I came back out, I was watching it for maybe 30 seconds and then the light went red. About 30 seconds later, it became a very bright white light, and then TOOK OFF. It took off FAST. Way faster than I had just seen the plane go. And I mean, WAY, WAYYYYYY faster. It almost seemed at this point as if there were multiple white lights, or kind of like if the object was round and had a bunch of white lights on the bottom in a circle, or if the lights were all around it on the side, and like those lights were rotating extremely fast while the object took off both vertically and horizontally. The lights faded very fast though as the object took off. I looked at the stars again, and they were all just as visible as before. The entire incident took about 30-40 minutes. I think I'm the only one in my city (relatively small) who happened to be outside in the cold weather and looking up at this exact time. It was between 9:30pm to 10:12pm.

Carlsbad, CA
I was working the gate at a fairly high Security facility and looked up at the bright stars that night. Saw one star straight up, at the bright end of the scale that appeared fuzzy. As I watched it, I saw that it was getting bigger, like it was coming toward me, but getting fainter at the same time. I alerted the other guard who came over and saw the object, which now appeared as a fading grey circular object that continued to grow in size. I looked at the object through a handheld thermal imaging camera but could not see it (Likely due to high altitude). We watched the object until it was probably the size of a dime at arm’s length. By this time, it had moved slightly horizontally (As if drifting), but was still perfectly round. I alerted our Supervisor, who was now wondering what we were looking at, but the object had become too dim for him to see. The sighting lasted 2 minutes.

I watched it for a few minutes as it slowly faded but didn't go left or right instead it faded upwards until it just disappeared

As some appeared then the others would disappear. There must have been 20 to 30 of them. More appeared as we watched them head east. They circled around each other and would disappear and then more would appear. One turned from white to red, to green. It lasted for 10 min. It was incredible.

Sharon, CT
I observed some lights on the ground on neighboring property as I went to the kitchen for some water. I thought our neighbor behind us was sending out an early crew. I checked the time as I am curious how early he heads out, 3:40 am. Then I look down at his house, no lights on. Then my husband, who had gotten up to use the bathroom, calls to me come here. I am not in a hurry, for reasons that don't need explanation. I bring the dog in from his relief and go to the bedroom. As I come in, my husband says, "You missed it." He is at the windows, crank out wide open, I say what a UFO and I see a single light disappear over the trees. He says 10 to 12 lights in a formation as a sphere. A drone? In my quest on the internet, I don't find a connection.

Philadelphia, PA
Just a few moments ago on the 3rd floor of my townhouse in South Philly facing City Hall exactly 2 miles away, I was putting my 3 year old son to bed. He was over my shoulder looking out the window when he said, "what's that?" Lots of helicopters and airport traffic pass over our heads on the way to the airport, and there's a helipad or two in the city so I'm quite accustomed to the aircraft in the area. This one was intriguingly different. I stood by the window to watch for about 2 minutes, then put him to bed, then ran up to our 4th floor deck, grabbed the binoculars and watched it for about 2 more minutes before it suddenly disappeared before my eyes. "It" was two green lights side by side, kind of like headlights, but not blinking. Usually you expect with aircraft to see white lights and/or red lights, and blinking. The green was eye-catching. It hovered west behind the Comcast skyscraper, then went UP, then wafted back east toward City Hall. Then it turned red! Again no blinking, just both lights slowly changed to red. It hovered around a bit as though circling City Hall, then turned green again, then gradually red, then like I said, right in front of my eyes, vanished. I wondered if it was someone's toy drone or something but way too big and way too high for that, and way too bright in my opinion. Wondering if anyone else saw it.

Pictou Landing (Canada), NS · Canada
Out having a smoke approx. 9:30 PM. Looking northeast at the stars. Noticed a very fast moving orange/reddish object come from the southeast - moving in a north-westerly direction. The object slowed to a speed comparable to a commercial jetliner passing overhead, then zig-zagged up an down very slowly for about 10 seconds/5 times. The object then accelerated extremely quickly and turned to a northerly course until out of sight - about 4 seconds from acceleration until disappearance. I have witnessed this type of sighting many times in the past few years - one was particularly unnerving as I was close enough that I could have touched the object if I had tried to. Always seen with witnesses. Reporting now because I'm seeing objects with increasing frequency.

Circular bright light with trail of sparks/flames. Moving very rapidly east to west at relatively low altitude (approx 2,500ft), about the same height you would see a helicopter flying. There was no sound. Object appeared to be approx a couple of miles directly ahead of my vehicle as I was preceding north. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Desert Hot Springs, CA
On March 10th, as I was driving into my driveway at home, I noticed a halo around the sun. I'd never seen a halo around the sun before, so I parked my car and walked onto the street to get a picture. I took the first picture and noticed that the shot was not centered. I then adjusted my stance to the left, just a bit, and took another picture. It was better, but it was still off center, so I walked backwards a few steps, and then stepped to the left just a bit, and took the last shot. After I took the shots, I went into my home and forgot about it. Last night, going through my pictures, I zoomed in on the halo and noticed a small green circle to the left of the halo. I asked my partner what he thought it was. He thought it was the moon, at first. I then looked at the next picture. It was in that one too, except the green circle was inside the halo. I looked at the next picture. Sure enough, there it was again, except this time, it had traveled to the other side of the sun with a purplish triangular glow around it. I took these three shots within seconds of each other. Whatever it was, it was traveling very fast. It was completely invisible to my naked eyes but my phone camera captured its movement. We suspect lens flares, caused by pointing a camera at a bright object, in this case, the Sun. PD

Cape San Blas, FL
My husband and I were sitting in our rental unit on Cape San Blas, FL, which overlooks the Gulf of Mexico. It was approximately 11 pm when my husband, who was facing the windows (we have a home with a large patio door with two other large windows which had no window coverings at the time) noticed a bright object in the sky. We walked out to the deck facing the gulf and viewed an object flying from the southwest on the cape at a rapid speed. The object was the size of a large SUV (for lack of a better description) and bright orange/red and was circular in shape. The object had no flashing lights and had a warm glow. The object flew along side the Cape and suddenly made a 90 degree turn toward the gulf of Mexico. The object made no sound whatsoever. I ran inside while my husband was still on the deck to retrieve my phone to video the object. By the time I returned (less than a minute) it was fading into the cloud bank over the Gulf of Mexico.

Dry Fork, VA
I am a full-time homemaker. I was sitting on the steps of the deck, when I looked straight up into the sky overhead. What I saw was a large round object moving far above me at a relatively high rate of speed. As this object raced across and was sort of more forward of my sight than it was straight overhead, it turned completely red for just a split second and then absolutely...DISAPPEARED. To clarify it, I have to say that the object was 100% white light---there was nothing else to be seen (such as perhaps some type of framing); it was simply a round, solid white light, although it did not appear to be shiny.

Watching the clear blue sky Sunday morning, when I noticed a high altitude chemtrail being laid from south to north across the sky, about midway across the sky, which basically put this jet almost overhead, but still slightly to the west, appears right out of nowhere virtually almost in the chemtrail, itself a brilliant bright circle of an object, Imagine venus only In the daytime sky, that would accurately describe the size of this object, I'm guessing at an altitude of 30,000 plus feet. This object pulled a straight line from west to east directly overhead of me and took approx 30 min to cover the horizon from west to east, It never wavered. It never changed brightness. It just eventually from what I could tell slowly gained elevation to the point where you could no longer see it In the sky. I have been sky watching for 40 plus years and NEVER have I seen anything like this, It was fascinating Indeed! Possibly a multi-colored kite, we suspect. PD

Salem, OR
This was in the middle of downtown Salem. I can't be the only one. I was at Mission Mill Museum, taking trash out the back. It flew right over me, semi big, no sound, primarily redish orange. It was pulsing white and red. It was low enough where the building would have blocked it out if I was standing on the other side. Flew quickly (faster than an airplane) over 12th St. and Willamette University soccer field. Then stopped 5 blocks further over Bush Park area and just hovered for about 2 mins. I grabbed the only person around (an older laidy) she agreed it was hovering and looked abnormal. It stayed for about 2 mins. Moved further slowly, then blinked in and out a few times, the disappeared, like someone turned off the light switch. I took a video.

I went outside to smoke a cigarette, and noticed a dot moving in the trees. I focused on the dot and saw that it was moving, slowly but surely. The glowing, and color changing dot would make circular motions, and would also pause in between doing so. I tried to call my neighbor so that I wouldn't sound completely crazy if I mentioned it to my family. He did not pick up the phone. I posted on a social media sight: "I just saw a UFO." The first person that replied happened to be 15 miles away. I used my phone's compass function to tell her the direction to look. It took her a few minutes but she confirmed it. At one point we said, "Did you see that?" over the phone. I also saw a shooting star about 5 degrees to the left of this object about 5 minutes into gazing at it.

I was walking back from taking the garbage out and saw what looked like a shooting star. The shooting star/object was moving west away from Washington, DC.. As it was moving west, it exploded into two pieces. It looked like a blue flame that split into two. Half of it went West and the other half moved East and disintegrated. At that moment I thought it was pretty cool that I saw a shooting star, but then thought I never seen a shooting star explode like that. I then proceeded to look up at the sky and about a minute after I saw the explosion, I looked up and saw what looked like a very big star. I would say it was comparable to the size of the North Star. The Star got bigger and then started to ascend upward and disappeared. Now I am an educated man and have seen dozens of shooting stars but never saw a shooting star explode and then see object in the sky move closer to Earth and then ascend upward and out of our atmosphere. Pretty crazy but pretty exciting as well.

Looking west spotted a still air craft. The shape was circular with a bright light and several lime green lights that were constant and not flashing. There were 3 airplanes that moved in the air so it was easy to see the difference in movement and altitude. One airplane flew northeast and then abruptly turned northwest. Did not see the still craft leave but checked 2 hours later and it was no longer visible.
