Polson, MT
We live out in the country, and I was just looking out at the lights of town in the distance. There it was in the sky. At the time it appeared in the middle of my window. By the time I woke my husband to see it, it was in the top portion of the window. Then it was gone.

Listen, I just looked out of my front window and noticed what I thought was Venus. But what caught my eye immediately, was its erratic movement. It moved slightly up, down, across---and sometimes it appeared to make a half circle. The movements weren't all across the sky, either. This took place in a very small area. A family member told me it was Venus due to atmospheric temperatures. Is this true? Anyway, I've been looking at Venus all my life and never seen it move. Period. What I've read about the planet is usually about its natural movement around the sun, and its distance from Earth. Possible sighting of Sirius?? PD

Herriman, UT
The Sighting was spotted over the hills facing North. My friend took a photo of it. Link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1524k5ocKFzTxvtCJMVkMRekFnwI2wzki On the east hills, I saw a man-like thing standing on the hill. Then it moved across the hill in a running motion but crossed it EXTREMELY fast! My friends are investigating that hill. One of my buddies saw the same man fall off a cliff and land completely fine and walk away unharmed. Black helicopters have been flying around. REALLY SKETCHY!

Glendale, CA
((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) It was a football-sized ball of light with a tail, as best we could say, since it happened so quickly, and was so bright. I was in a beauty salon at the time and we all just looked at each other in disbelief, agreeing that we had indeed seen a UFO of some description. The time was 12.15 pm, yes, 15 minutes past noon. ((END ADDENDUM))

Eureka Springs, AR
Saturday night at approximately 6:30 pm, my family and I were driving home through Highway 23 S, right in front of Turpentine Creek. It was a clear sky. The stars were clearly and brightly visible. My husband pointed towards the sky and said look at that. We thought it was a shooting star, but the movement was very different. The flying object was like a bright light that moved across the sky in a straight line. It was a matter of seconds before the light disappeared.

Marietta, GA
20Jan2018 and 21Jan2018 Marietta, GA. I am in West Cobb, several miles from Kennesaw Mountain, and yesterday morning, around 1:44 AM EST, I looked out my bathroom window and saw two erratically moving bright objects high in the sky. One object was to my right, emitting green light, lower in the sky than the other and moving more slowly. The other was a bright pale yellow, much higher to the left and moving rapidly and erratically in a wide path. I cannot tell the shape as I am mainly seeing bright light but the light appears to be circular or oval. I am in a flight path for both McCollum Field and Dobbins Air Reserve Base so initially I thought it might be a helicopter or small plane, but the way the object was moving I do not believe would be possible for a known aircraft. I did see the green object sparkling brightly but barely moving again to the right around 8:26 PM last evening (20Jan2018) and hoped it was just a star in the very cold and clear sky. This morning, around 1:26 AM I again saw the yellowish object to the left. It was moving up, down and across in the same rapid and erratic pattern as the morning before. This time however, that object was suddenly joined by a bright green object. I did not see the green object arrive but it was not there when I first saw the yellow light. The objects seem to be circling each other but not in any organized fashion. They are darting back and forth. There appear to be small red lights around the edges of the green object. I don’t know if the green object is the same one I saw to the right the morning and evening before. I checked McCollum Field’s flight schedule, and there are no scheduled flights or arrivals at this time. There was only one flight, an arrival at 12:05 AM from Scottsdale that might possibly be heading over my area. I don’t know how to contact Dobbins to ask whether they have any planes in the air. Do I need to report this to the police or to Dobbins? As for my background I am a 56 year old female, currently unemployed but have been a Pharmaceutical/Bio-Tech Project Manager for the past 15 years. I usually try to find a logical explanation for everything but I also strongly believe there can be no common explanation for some events.

Chicago, IL
We witnessed a flash of red light streak across the sky from east to west in the southwestern sky, and then stop, flashing red and green lights with no discernible pattern. It moved erratically in the sky, sometimes with great speed other times slowly, way above airplane traffic then what seemed like below, then above again, at one point seeming like it might collide with an airlplane. It retreated, becoming so small it was a pinpoint high in the sky, then with the blink of an eye was close, large again, spiraling around as if it was going to crash, then traveled slowly earthward until we lost sight of it behind a 3 story building. This was against a dark, clear sky, illuminated with alley lights, and plane traffic lined up going into O’hare airport. There was a sound, like a whirring buzz or whine. We both felt pressure in our heads with the sound. We both still feel sensitivity in our ears.

Flat Rock, MI
Bright light observer outside my window high in the sky. Heavy overcast with snow. Light was bright and moved across the sky at fast rate. Had to be below cloud line or just above. Light got brighter and brighter before just disappearing. This light moved across the sky at an extreme rate. Started slow then zipped across the horizon. Like I said, overcast with light snow. Had to be at a lower elevation.

Ann Arbor, MI
Everyone with us was amazed, and everyone agreed that it did not look like lightening. Not to mention lightening and thunderstorms during the winter in Michigan are very rare. The light was also a bit green.

Grass Lake, MI
I was between Wolf Lake Road and Hayball Road on Page Ave when everything around me lit up bright the was like lightning bolt and gone. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Peter, I don't believe it was over by Detroit. I was directly under it, and it flashed...no tail or debris. I was in my tractor and did not feel or hear anything. I am not sure about my lights as it was so bright around me. Tractor did have strange shudder just before light started. ((name deleted)) ((END ADDENDUM)) ((ADDENDUM #2 FROM WITNESS)) I was traveling west on page it came up behind me from east. The location is jackson county, grass lake township. It was on page west of grey tower rd,east of hayball road and south of michigan avenue. Right over state of michigan hunting area on page avenue ((END ADDENDUM)) We have attempted to confirm the time of the sighting, which we believe should be 8:06 p.m. (Eastern), given that Michigan is in the Eastern Time Zone.

Colorful light in the sky changing colors. Rainbow colors emitting. Has been stationary in the same spot for hours. Looked through binoculars and saw it changing colors. Possible 2-hour sighting of Sirius?? PD

3rd time we have woke up to see a light floating in the sky. It does appear to move slightly back and forth. Seems to float almost as high as a small plane would fly. Try to watch it as long as we can before we go back to sleep. We have seen the light outside of our bedroom window, facing south.

Claremore, OK
Got up at 5 am to go to the restroom. I looked out the bathroom window and noticed 1 very bright white round light in the distance. I went back to get into bed, but first looked out the bedroom window where I had seen the light. The light was gone. I waited and looked for about 10 seconds, and the very bright light reappeared in the same place. I watched it for about a couple of minutes as it glowed slightly changing brightness. I then watched it start to go straight up in the air slowly from the ground. Then it was gone in a blink.
