The new bright star thought to be a plane stayed in place. I pointed my flashlight at i ( like that would do anything) then it looked like a dot within a circle, glowed brighter, then disappeared, as if a lightbulb glowed brightly then went out! Or, if possible, like a sci-fi movie, it was a wormhole that closed or a star that exploded and vanished! It may have looked like a fossile fuel ship flew straight away and got smaller as the distance grew. This sighting was in the west end of the sky with Ursa Major located west/northwest.

When I pulled into my driveway at home I noticed something hovering in the sky across the street. My oldest daughter had my cell phone for the past week so I was unable to photograph it. When I stood at the end of my driveway it was across the street located by the railroad tracks and water plant, it hovered at the tree tops, it was a bright silver with a red light on top and a green light on bottom and remained it that spot for at least 5 minutes, then I went inside. My mother came over and said did you see that "thing" in the sky and I said "yes, is it still there?" She replied, "yes", I went to look at it with her and it was gone. It showed up the next day around the same time and I have not seen it since. I have my phone back and I want to see it again so I can get pictures to post.

Slow moving object spotted between 12:30 and 1:00 pm in Syracuse sky traveling east, then southwest and hovering. Around 12 :45pm, I unserved ((sic. observed??)) a object moving across the eastern sky traveling at a slow speed. I pointed it out to my friend who saw the same object. another witness who could not see it right away but shortly spotted it also. It traveled about 1to 2 miles and then turned northwest. It traveled about 2 miles and stop and hovered, moved slowly east and then back north. The object stayed in the same area until a small patch of clouds covered it. After the clouds moved on the object was no longer in that spot.

Small round white ball shape hovering in the sky. It first appeared as a small white round ball. It seemed to be spinning, and at the same time, moving around in a small circle. I lost sight of it and then found it slightly lower than when i first saw it. It still appeared to be spinning and moving around in a small circle, but was now glowing red, then white and disappear. It continued this way for a least 10 minutes and then it disappeared and never saw it again. We were looking in the north east direction.

At 9:35 (21:35) one small point of light traveled smoothly across the sky, then disappeared. After a few seconds, it reappeared without showing any change of direction. Shortly thereafter, another object, identical to the first one appeared and began traveling the same path. This object also disappeared after a few seconds. Event seen by two individuals.

I was standing on our back porch smoking last night, when I saw a flashing green/white light which was heading straight toward our home off Canal Road and Robinson Road. As it came toward our home it went up and hovered which is truly what caught my attention as no plane that I know of here at Keesler AFB can do this maneuver without a sound. The craft moved east then made a sharp turn then came back west..it was probably over I10 near the Canal Road Exit. As it turned and headed back east it began to flash red..it shot straight up flashing a brilliant green and that's when I yelled for my husband to come witness what I was seeing. We stood there watching this light which had turned red once again going back and forth..east/west...for several minutes before finally turning white and heading straight up only to disappear into a cloud. I searched all night but never saw it again. I'm hoping to see it this evening and hopefully get some pics of it for everyone to see.

5:00am August 28, 2014 Clear sky. Looked up to the south west and observed a bright red object that grew larger as if falling to earth directly towards me. The object then turned white and appeared to vaporize instantly.

2 fiery orange balls of light were hovering and swaying around St Phillips Epicsopal Church's steeple. They went Behring the homes so I couldn't see them anymore. No noise and not a helicopter or plane. Can a drone do that?

Looking eastward, large circular shape that I mistook for a fog-covered moon until I noticed that the sky was completely clear. Light was within 10 miles approx 30 degrees above horizon line. Light was bright enough to have mistaken for the moon and over three minutes faded away to what seemed to be a blue/violet circular haze.

On the morning of Aug 27th, 2014,. I was standing on my balcony looking towards the west. I was positioned on elizabeth st looking towards the westard sky. I saw some strange lights in the sky. I grabbed my binoculars. There was a stationary object that I was affixed upon that was changing colors from red green and a light white color. I watched this object for several minutes just changing colors and not moving. I called my girlfriend to tell her what I saw. She came to my apartment and she also viewed the object. I gave her the binoculars and she was focused on the object she pointed out to me that it seemed that several smaller objects where flying around the lights that I hadn't noticed at the time. She gave me the binoculars and when I observed I saw these much smaller objects flying around where the lights where located. The smaller objects where moving in such a way that it was not any aircraft ive seen. Zipping from point to point rapidly this lasted for 30 minutes. It looked as if they where going around where the lights where blinking. This smaller crafts didnt have colors they just looked like regular light flying around. They had no lights the smaller objects. We observed about 5 to 7 of these smaller crafts around the circular flashing light object. At the time I was a manager for an furniture company.

Back in August of 2014, I witnessed several light changing objects in the sky and also some shadow looking craft flying around the colors. The reason for my report is because as I was looking over other sightings from that day there where several of the same reports around the same time. Just curious if you guys put those two things together which im sure you did. But all the surrounding states on those couple of days had some of the same reports.

I was out side star gazing looking up and a saw a light moving not a plane all the sudden the light got very white bright. I called my daughter and looked back up and the white bright light had receded to the norm and was gone than i saw a plane coming fast and closing on another light that was heading west turning south. In middle of turn bright lights streached back twards both wings and looked like a triangle but we could still see the plane tail lights. All the sudden, i noticed a plane coming north right towards it than the lights disappeared and the plane tailing it kept going south and the other passed it to the left of the plane still heading north.

Looking south east at night over towards Huntington beach.. I'm on the roof at 6 th floor level. The big balls or round objects were not much higher in the sky.. Not much neck strain! I first saw two yellowish light orangish objects side by side... They then moved above and below each other. That was about five minutes in the first position. After they formed above and below, another same looking object appeared to the right of the two above and below two! Now there was three. The new third object split and become two.. Now there was four in total. The two newer ones also changed position and were disappearing and reappearing as well as the two others. One would fade then come back on.. This went on for a half hour. The four objects joined to make a side by side symmetrical formation one above and one below it was like a mirror image of each other. Then two disappeared two stayed for a half hour then disappeared They were huge. Never in 17 years have I seen such big objects and I always sky view! Not sure if it was a huge singular ship doing a light sow or four separate objects! Thank you

We noticed a fairly bright red light in the southern sky moving from east to west, thought maybe it was a plane, about 3 minutes later it was back again in roughly the same position. The next time it appeared I went outside for a better look and to try and determine if I could identify what I was seeing, there was no noise and it was approximately 5 km away it turned south and I lost track of it, went back in the house and it showed up 2 more times for a total of 5 times so am not sure if this was the same vehicle or 5 separate?

Tamarac, FL
I went out of the house to smoke a cigaret and look up to the sky and saw what I believe to be a meteor coming down because it look like a ball of fire but I saw no smoke trail. I got scare thinking I was going to hit my house.when it got closer, may be one half mile or less from where I was it stop and stay still. I hear no sound at all. Now I realize it was lights under some object maybe thirty feet in diameter. It stay still for about thirty seconds them it shot out two small red lights that fade out almost immediately. The light on the big object dim and then descended alway from my direction going southwest of Tamarac. I lost sight cause it went lower than the houses in front of me. I stay outside for a while looking in the direction it had gone. All I could see far away was some lights as if lighting of a storm far away.

While my boyfriend and I were outside on our back deck, he pointed behind me and said, "what is that?". I look over and I see a bright white, circular, light. It was moving faster than a jet and it wasn't leaving a chemical trail. I asked him if he could hear any sound, because I couldn't, and he agreed he could not either. On further inspection we did see four small flashing lights around the one bright light. Almost like the flashing lights on the wings of planes. As I say, it was moving faster than a jet, so it could not have been a plane, and the light was extremely bright. It came out of the east and disappeared into the clouds to the west of us.
