Kandiyohi, MN
I was driving at night and was just looking up at the clear night sky, observing all the stars. Off to my right side in my front windshield I noticed this bright orange light in the sky. I immediately thought it was just a really bright star. As I was driving, I kept observing it, note there were no other cars around me and I was out in the country. As I stared at it, it got brighter and brighter, it was a first orange. All the sudden as I’m watching it, it’s as if someone turned off a light. It just went out and never showed back up again. It lasted a good 10 minutes. I watched it for awhile. It moved slightly but mostly remained still in one place high in the sky. I’m no stranger to sightings.

Dayton, TX
I saw a large white light. For a moment I thought, shooting star, but quickly realized that there was no way. First it was too large. The large light was appeared to be about the size of an airplane high up. Second the light was brilliant white, almost blue. It was rather diamond shaped, with the light fading behind the back corner. This ‘corner’ didn’t actually touch, but seemed to trail behind. Inside these two trails was a small second light. Easily 1/16 the size of the large light, maybe smaller. As I drove North on Highway 321 from Dayton, I noticed this light shooting through the sky. I saw it from the top of my windshield to maybe halfway down the windshields which point it vanished. I thought it had maybe gone behind a tree I couldn’t see in the dark. But after driving further, there was no tree in the area. The light moved fast. When it went it did not fade or slowly disappear, it was just gone as if someone had turned off the switch. I do not know ! what I saw. But I know that I have never seen anything like it before.

At first I guessed that it was a reflection off a plane (2 airports are nearby), but I don’t see how that’s possible because the sun was behind it. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Las Vegas, NV
My car alarm went off. My neighbors where leaving from across the street. My son and I went out to check the truck. nothing out by my vehicle, turned around and I saw these bright light gathering together. I said look look. The objects followed each other and gathered to same area. Thoughts was helicopters. Because they was in the area of the oncoming planes crossing to the sunset landing and the northside landing. I thought odd. One object started getting dimmer and went out of the atmosphere and then the other 3 followed. A minute or so went by and I saw another same bright light coming to the area of the first 4. It also stopped around the same area of the first 4 and then dimmed as it went out of the atmosphere. We watched for a long time. Watched all the planes going towards the sunset runway. But never saw anymore. These object was to the east of the city. South of Nellis air force area. It was like they was coming into the city, and then not. Neighbor came back after awhile and they said they saw 4 of the objects when we first saw them. They too thought helicopters. They only saw the first 4 before the last showed up

Two yellow-orange balls of light appeared in the sky to the west of Casa Grande, AZ, and were apparently stationary for a few minutes before going dark one at a time. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Kansas City, KS
What appeared to be a satellite travelled from the Southwest of Kansas City toward the Northeast. I've lived at my location for 20 years, and have never seen a satellite because of the light pollution. I watched it enter toward Orion's Belt for about a minute, then it stopped. I observed it in a stopped posItion for around 3 minutes. It was slightly brighter than any star, but was too high to be a conventional aircraft. It looked like a star. I went indoors to get a video camera, and when I went back outside 1 minute later, it was gone. Nothing else in the sky in the direction it was travelling was moving.

Crete (Greece), Crete (Greece)
I spotted the first one it was way below the stars and flashing blue, red and white at quite a distance. I initially thought it may be a light on the mountains in front of our house but realised it was too high. In perfect symmetric order a vertical but slightly angled eg 60 degrees and an exact distance it seemed there were 2 others exactly the same! They did not move in the 4 hours or so I observed them but I then went to bed.

Uhland, TX
January 6th close to midnight adult female standing on porch saw string of red lights over cow pasture about the height of a three story building. Lights were bright red and not blinking. They were circular and connected by red lite lines. There were about 8 or 9 circular lights making a very large hook like pattern in the sky. Visible about 20 seconds, then all vanished at the same time. East of Uhland, Texas, estimated red lights to be about a football field in length and maybe 1/4 mile away. Neighbor, male-former police officer out walking his dog saw them too but from shouting distance to him the lights were many colors. From my porch they were solid red.

Brookshire, TX
It rose straight up and then proceeded to travel to the West/Northwest at about the speed of a news helicopter. Since this was a Saturday I knew it was not a news helicopter or any other chopper for that matter. They are rare in this isolated area. At first I assumed it was small drone. However, having experience with flying drones, I expected the familiar drone sound but the light/object was completely silent. Drones are very noisy. It flew right over me. It was probably about 300 feet in the air but it was hard to tell given that it was very dark, although the sun had just set. The light was colored between orange and yellow. Size was difficult to determine as it was just a ball of light. I could not really make out a shape or form. I thought about running inside for my binoculars but did not do so because the object would have been gone by the time of my return. The entire sighting lasted about 60 seconds. The weather was clear and very little breeze. There was the faintest hint of the setting sun but it was still very dark, almost night time. There was no alcohol or other mind altering substances involved.

Fairbanks, AK
Looking south in the sky, from the Ralph Perdue Center, 3100 Cushman Street (& 30th Avenue), Fairbanks, AK; I saw two objects appear, heading west, while climbing. They looked as if they were on the same path, but one turned north briefly, then southwest, to again trail the other. I heard a 1.5 distant roar (like a rocket thrust), as they accelerated and disappeared. There was a star, slightly above and slightly to the east of them; whereas there was also a red stationary light below this star, whereas both of these remained... I came inside to search for this incident, but found this site first.

Cumming, GA
Around 4:20am, I was headed north on GA400 towards my home. As I passed Exit 13, I noticed what appeared to be a shooting star. It was just a large ball of white light literally moving at lightening speed across the sky. So my first reaction was to make a wish, but as I'm watching it shoot across the horizon, it didn't disappear. It literally came to an abrupt stop, which completely startled me. Then right before me on the highway I then saw what appeared to be an aircraft of some kind, hovering ahead of me. It had red and blue flashing lights...I really couldn't make out a shape...and thats when it registered that this was definitely something else out of the ordinary. A few seconds later, it shot off into atmosphere at lightening speed and disappeared. Both objects moved entirely too fast to be anything logical such as a plane or a helicopter, or even a drone. In addition, the ball of light traveling lightening speed across the atmosphere and completely stopping, with a random hovering object then appearing...no explanation. Absolutely no explanation. This weirded me out enough to actually want to report it.

I saw a flying object in the sky and it had a really bright light source and a bright beam coming out of it!

Woodinville, WA
The light seem to appear to be silently floating around near the creek about 30 feet or so up in the air and as I got closer I saw there were two lights that appeared orange in color and seemed to be very small. I started recording with my phone and as I got closer one became bright very much like a small, but intense LED as if it turned to face my direction. I couldn’t tell if it had a light in front and perhaps rotated or if it just changed and became bright. Both ended up doing this off and on and continued to float through and around the trees from East to West. As I went back toward my house to get my wife to witness I saw a couple more in the neighbor’s field on the other side of our property as well. They were completely silent and ranging from about 20 – 40 feet off the ground, all moving from East to West. Although I heard no noise, I later found watching the video that the microphone did pick up a strange clicking type of noise when it was at its closest. I was a bit freaked out and went inside and asked my wife to come out and verify I was seeing what I was seeing. My behavior was scaring her a bit but when I pointed them out, she saw them and was also surprises and a little scared. I went back outside and to the neighbor’s house to show him as well. Over about an hour a saw perhaps a dozen of these lights. I’ve never seen anything like it in my life. Afterward I went back home and became very tired, falling asleep on the couch. Although I didn’t experience an loss of time nor did I touch or make any physical contact, my wife and kids told me the next day I was moving and twisting around on the couch hitting my head with my hands and that my head was sweating profusely. They said they tried to wake me but couldn’t. I felt like I slept very soundly and don’t recall any of that.

Very bright circular light- first appeared thinking it was a shooting star traveling west through the sky then stopped and shot straight up at an incredible rate of speed then disappeared.

Hampshire, IL
I was facing south driving and Witnessed two elongated cigar shape craft that were self-illuminating near the middle of the sunset which was to my right (west). One was hovering to the west going northwest direction lower to the ground moving horizontally slowly. The other was simultaneously moving in opposite direction faster. Was identical size and also self-illuminating. No blinking lights on either looked like giant glow sticks but did not have a bright aura. No wings, gear or trails. Just long glowing cigar like craft rounded off on each end. The 2nd one was going south-east bound moving from the first one. It was moving faster and on an angle going upward away about 40 degrees. The first one remained on a horizontal pattern moving north-west. I tried to find a place to pull over from the highway but various trees kept blocking and no room on side of the highway. I knew of a parking area at the next intersection so chose to drive there to pull over o! n rte 20 and IL-47. I watched the 2nd one moving at the 40-degree angle start to speed off and then all of a sudden it moved so fast it was gone. I could still see the first one moving northwest but it also started speeding up but slowly. I turned onto the next street (rte 20) and then pulled over into a parking lot after the gas station. As I got out of the car to take a photo now facing westbound towards the sunset and Rockford, IL there was nothing left in the sky except the sunset. I scanned sky from north to west to south and back again. Nothing. No streaks, no lights, no planes. The distance and size of these things in the sunset is hard to estimate but one thing is for sure is they were huge. Football field length or larger. The glowing self-illumination is what shocked me. They were like a bright yellow-white light with pure white in center, no blinking, no radiance outward just self-contained.

Maricopa, AZ
Object was orange-yellow in color. No noticeable aircraft markers or strobes. Seemed to drop in altitude and leveled off at tree level when I first noticed it. Object was traveling from north to south and looked to be just east of the 10-free way. No sound but distance may of masked if any. Moved rather quickly covering a distance from just east of Maricopa, AZ. to south toward Tucson, AZ. Lost sight as object moved beyond ground obstructions. I was standing in my back yard with patio light on and once I noticed object I turned the light off. Was over cast sky not sure of ceiling.

Strafford, MO
Looking NNW, saw an orangish to white light that seemed to be stationary. It changed in brightness, after looking at it for 12 seconds it started to turn white and then dimmed fast until I couldnt see it anymore. Seemed like it was about 10 miles away. Towards Fair Grove.

Bakersfield, CA
I walked out onto my balcony tonight and when I looked up I seen a unusually bright star. (wasn’t moving so I figured it couldn’t be a plane). Then I looked to the left of that and noticed a more orangish looking thing that looked to be pretty close to earth. (I thought it was a drone). It was moving in different direction very quickly. Then I happened to notice another one doing the same thing. As I kept looking, I had noticed about 5 of them oddly in a somewhat perfect circle. My mother in law said they are the satellites that the rocket launched not to long ago .

Santa Clarita, CA
Suddenly, to the southeast we saw a bright white light float upwards into the clouds and then it disappeared! Then a second time it appeared and went upwards and disappeared again. This craft was not flying like a normal aircraft. The white light was brighter than any light on any aircraft I had ever seen! We did not see it again.

Kirkland, WA
At approx 6:30am, I was standing, facing a northerly direction in Kirkland, WA. At a very high altitude I saw a bright light moving at high speed from West to East. Air traffic in that area at that altitude moves from East to West. There were no blinking lights like an aircraft would have. I thought it slowed down and then went behind the tall trees in front of us. We saw it a few times moving through the high tops. We kept waiting for it to come out to the left in the open but it never reappeared. To me that rules out the space station and satellite.
