Jeromesville, OH
One larger red flashing light hovering above a field, moving slowly west as several smaller white flashing orbs darted above and below the area over the field. Initially saw ring of lights around larger reddish light, got 4K camera, told driver to stop, but stopping was precarious. Was filming at this point. Got out of vehicle and filmed lights over field, and larger light moving slowly and passing by a utility tower further to the SW of the field, where the white flashes continued darting around. All were moving in an altitude from near the ground to 100-150 meters at maximum. Average height was just above the tallest tree heights. This video caught the white lights with a barn pole light as point of reference. It also caught the larger one as it moved from the right to left side of a lit up tower, that serves as a reference point. Stopped filming for safety as trucks were blasting past us.

Twin Falls, ID
I was sitting outside my house in my friends car just talking and I just randomly happened to glance up toward the horizon and as I did I noticed an orb emitting a very bright solid orange light encasing the entire craft. It was just floating in place not making any advancemt in any direction. I know this was not a star in the sky because it was a very windy and cloudy night and you could see the clouds moving behind it plus stars don't sit that low on the horizon to begin with. I starred at the object with my two friends for what seemed like only a few minutes and as though it noticed us watching it, it literally de-materialized and then instantly re-materialized about 250-500 yards to the left of its original position. It floated there for a few more seconds and then literally faded into the darkness as though the craft was dimming down the external lights of the craft like you would with the light dimmer in your living room. Source of report indicates that the date of the incident is approximate. PD

Anchor Point, AK
Two close groups of flashing lights are in view about 15 to 20 degrees aboce the horizon to the west northwest of the Anchor River Airpark in Anchor Point. Each cluster has continuous white flashing lights with intermittent red and green flashing lights. At first it looked like an on coming aircraft, however it did not appear to be moving. There is no sound. Time 10:10 flashing lights remain, may be slowly moving in a more northerly direction at the same elevation. 10:30 Gradual movement to the north and lower on the horizon appears to be more distant.

Ottawa (Canada), ON · Canada
Thursday, October 6, 1:07 AM, Ottawa, Canada. I got up to look out my bedroom window. I have logged two UFO sightings on previous occasions within the last couple of years from this same bedroom window but did not keep any records, myself. I have reported one to MUFON and another to National UFO Reporting Center. I have seen about four other sightings over the years directly over the city of Ottawa and Gatineau. I sometimes look out the bedroom window to check for UFO's especially at sundown and during the night. There is usually one red air-ambulance helicopter go close by once or twice a day with pulsating red and white lights with characteristic sound. One of the previous UFO sightings was of a very large white light and with a definite round-shaped red light of same size in its center which looked something like a spot light from a short distance away vantage point. This was about 2-3 miles away. The reason I am saying this is that these UFO's could be trying to imitate helicopter lights! Anyway, I looked out my bedroom window and the Western sky was misty. There was one large star to be seen, probably Mars or Venus at about 30 degrees. I looked out of the corner of my eye, as I sometimes do, to see if there were any fainter stars near-by. I thought I saw a couple and one of them was red. They were very small and faint, and much smaller than the first star seen. As I kept looking, the red one seemed to get bigger. Then, I detected it to be moving West to North. It came to be within about 5-10 miles, I think, no sound, window open. The red light kept flashing at about once a second as it moved across the sky. It was fluttering up and down and would lunge forward at tremendous speed every 3-4 seconds. It came as close as to within 3-5 miles, I think, before going out of view because of the window frame. It was going way too fast to be a helicopter at that distance.

Williamsport, PA
Saw 4-5 bright flashes or balls of Fire. Few others saw but some as far South as Harrisburg. Then 6-7 minutes later a couple of explosions but they were 6-8 minutes later and didn't seem connected. The light flashes were almost parallel and spread across the sky. Wasn't typical heat lightning nor a lightning strike. I have never before seen ANYTHING before quite like it.

Yukon, OK
Saw a quick flash reflect in my apartment complex parking lot while taking trash to the dumpster. No sound, no lightning. Noticed it being exceptionally bright out lately, especially for it having been a new Moon. Co-worker in Oklahoma City saw similar flash.

Geneva, NY
Saw a bright green flash, of what appeared to be a firework or shooting star. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. Time and date may be flawed, but we have no means for contacting the source of the report to confirm. We wonder whether the sighting might have occurred at 9:15 p.m., not a.m., and whether the date might have been November 1st, not October 1st. PD

Dell Rapids, SD
I was driving north on 470th avenue west of Dell Rapids near the intersection of 470th avenue and 243rd street when I saw a blue flash of light NNW of where I was. At first I thought it was one of those planes, you know, that have the little trail behind them? But then I realized it was going to fast. It moved towards the ground very fast and I only saw it for a few seconds. I didn't see where it went or if it landed or crashed, although I can't imagine anything falling at that speed could land safely. It was white in the center, but the edges of whatever was falling and the trail it left in the sky looked bright blue. It seemed like there was some sort of blue haze around it. It fell smoothly and without any other motions. It's hard to say if it was glowing or not, given that it was rather bright and cloudless outside, but it seemed to be to me. I didn't get any pictures or video, as I was driving and it happened relatively quickly. It looked to be about th! e size of a honeybee, from my perspective.

Claremont, CA
I was out walking the dogs at around 9:00pm in the neighborhood of the School of Theology. I stopped to relax and look at the stars even though there were very few (light pollution, clouds, and pollution all contributing to few visible stars). As I sat looking straight up and a little north toward the mountains, I saw a very small cluster of stars. Slowly one grew to a very bright light, which I thought a first could have been be a plane coming my way though it wasn’t moving and it became larger and larger to about the size of a dime in the sky. At this point if it were an airplane or helicopter I should have been able to hear propeller blades or engines but there was no sound and somehow the light was different brighter brighter. Then the dime sized bright light shrank to a pinprick in the same spot and was gone. I’ve never seen anything like it!

St. Louis, MO
Around 9pm Central time, I was outside looking up at the sky, when I saw a very quick flash of a greenish transparent circular in shape light, swipe across the clear night sky. I continued to watch the sky and turn towards the North East and then saw a fireball tipped light followed by a trail of white, flash cross the sky in about a 7 second time frame. Nothing else was seen for the next 15 minutes as I waited for anything else.

Single, bright flash evenly illuminated the whole night sky with no point of origin. Similar to when you take a screen shot on an iPhone. My friend and I both saw it and described the same thing to each other. Felt like the night sky "reset" Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

North Bend, WA
Upon arriving at my destination, I got out of my car and waited patently in the dark for what seemed to be at least 5, maybe 10 minutes. Sure enough, a MASSIVE white flash could be seen over a local mountain named MT. Si. 3-5 minutes it happened again (The time frame was almost impossible to track!!!). 5 minutes felt like 1 minute, 1 felt like 10. About this time strange clouds cover developed around the mountain, shrouding it . This flash was extremely powerful. It lit the whole sky and the cloud cover, but only for 1-2 seconds. It did lit look atypical white, it was almost a glowing color. Much to powerful to be emergency strobe or anything civilian/commercial. It seemed almost unbelievable. (This happened in mid July, but seemed to come from the eastern cascade ranges). After the second and final flash, an object came over the mountain, seemingly from the source, and quickly ascended westward, with a rapid white strobe. It did not disappear, only continued to pick up speed.Soon after the flashes seemed to stop, and the clouds dissipated. I found this impossible not report.The first thought that comes to mind is government, seeing as people have reported quite a few low flying military aircraft over the years..although this was rather unique and "out of this world". I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS..gave me the creeps.. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) That would be 8:05pm ((END ADDENDUM)) We have corrected the time. The report was first posted on September 22, 2016, indicating a time of 08:05, or 8:05 a.m.. PD

Green light suddenly appeared low on the horizon. Moved like a shooting star. Because of the green color, I initially thought it was an aircraft that was about to crash. It disappeared as quickly as it appeared.

Frisco, TX
My brother and I were driving home from dinner in Frisco and saw flashes of orange above the clouds to the northeast. It was very odd because there weren't clouds anywhere else except in that direction. My brother initially thought it was distant fireworks, but we quickly agreed that the flashing was appearing far too high in the sky to be that. It basically looked like constant lightning above the clouds for the entire drive home. There was no rain at all in the vicinity and the color of the light was orange.

Blindingly bright flash of light that seemed to come from over College St. It immediately zipped off into the sky out of our sight. The whole event was quicker than we could process and completely silent.

Haworth, NJ
Was sitting on patio in backyard. Beautiful, clear night. Saw something flash by. At first I thought it looked like a low flying drone. Flew straight across yard, horizontally. Looked like it was right above neighbor's house, skimming tree-tops. I thought maybe it was a drone, but it was very fast. Looked more like a meteorite, or shooting star. It made no noise, but did leave what looked like a dust trail of light. But it was a perfect straight shot horizontally. About 20 minutes later another one flew by on the other side of the backyard. I jumped because what are my chances of seeing 2 shooting stars in 1 night? I was also confused because it looked like it was so close to me (right above house). Then a 3rd one shot out across the yard. Over the span of 45-60 minutes I saw 3 of them. Could it have been meteorites? Space trash? Would that fly in a horizontal line at a constant speed?

Pasco, WA
On September 6th, 2016 at 00:15 I was driving home on the I-86 from Pasco, WA towards Prosser, WA. I was traveling about 60 mph and I noticed an exceptionally large green light with a white haze around it appear in the sky. If I held my arm out fully extended and compared my fingers to the size of this light in the sky, it would be about 3 or 4 fingers in size. It did not seem to be one solid shape but rather a reflection of part of a shape. The floating green light sped downwards in the sky as soon as it appeared. It took four to five full seconds for it to disappear and it appeared to have descended into the city. It had no tail whatsoever. It did not appear anymore, and I was alone in my car at the moment of the sighting.

Angleton, TX
In explanation, I am a former military aircraft mechanic. While I was headed for the Union Pacific Depot to pick up a Houston bound off duty train crew, I observed what appeared to be an aircraft moving slowly, showing two white flashing tip lights (which I thought odd) headed North, North, East, following the Union Pacific train tracks. While stopped at the light, headed South on the Loop 274 at Texas Hwy [29*09.533N and 095*26.005W] I lowered my driver’s side window. The light turned green and I progressed South on Loop 274. I could still see the flashing lights, hear the crossing bells ringing and multiple train engine noise, but hear no aircraft engine noise. I stopped at Loop 274 and W. Plum to turn {right} onto W. Plum, the train was moving on the tracks in a Northerly direction {it’s engine noise fading}, but there was still no aircraft engine noise, I lost sight of the observed aircraft in the surrounding trees. At W. Plum and S. Erskine I turned left and still lost in the surrounding trees. I again turned left at S. Erskine and W. Munson as I stopped at the yield sign I looked up toward the Union Pacific Radio tower {roughly 110ft tall} and still did not see aircraft flashing lights nor hear aircraft engine noise. I crossed S. Hancock St. turned to the right, into the yard. I stopped then I backed to the right into my parking spot, shut of the vehicle engine. Out of the vehicle, as I collected my work gear, I again looked up at the tower [29*09.307N, 095*25.585W] and observed the two flashing white tip lights divide. Where there had been one silent single aircraft several hundred foot above the tower and railroad overpass there were two. I only saw the lights no shapes. One silent flashing light went to the North of the tower, the second silent flashing light went to the South of the tower. I ran to the Yard Office and asked the duty night manager to please step out onto the North East facing porch. I pointed to the two lights not far off, still slowly headed North, North, East now at least a city block apart and reported the odd sight following the train. I asked what might be so important that two silent aircraft with one bright flashing light each, would be following it. He stated it was a regular run with no particular importance. I needed to go further to pick up the crew. Near 20:56 crossing the railroad overpass the two flashing white lights were observable, still headed in a generally North direction along a parallel to the track.
