Lumberton, TX
I am making this report now because my mom just made her report and insist that I describe my experience as well..I have to admit I am a skeptic, but what I did see that night makes me scratch my head. We had just came home from picking up my cousins and my mom loves UFO's she always looks in the sky, and next I heard her saying, "Look!! Look up!! and this is what I seen--100's of red lights in clusters or little groups but many groups slowly pulsating and hovering. At first I thought this has to be some drone convention or drone practicing a routine but the longer I watched the more intrigued I became and knew this was not drones. Me and my cousin happen to look south and see two lights bolt across the sky, we screamed at the sight, and caused everyone to look our way but it was gone by then.

I am barely making this report because I am my worse enemy, talking myself out of making this report thinking that it had to be drones, but the more I hear about others witnessing the same experience and I had my two boys and 3 nephews with me, I am convinced this was something more wonderful than I could ever imagine. I seen had to be hundred of red lights, seemed like they were playing in the sky. They had no direct path, they would move around slowly and some clustered together while others wandered off alone. I heard a gasp from my son and turned and he said he seen two shoot off fast across the sky.. I missed it, but the gasp i heard spoke for itself… It was a freezing night, and i kept wanting to grab my ipad from inside but I was frozen, I feared it would leave, and then I thought there was no way it would capture on my ipad, but none the less i went inside. It was very cold and we couldnt stand to be outside that long and none of my windows allowed me to look up straight into the sky, as i was blocked by trees...about a hour later, I went to throw the trash away and I still seen about half of them up there...I regret the fact that I did not try to record it but I seen them and i have 5 other teenagers who witnessed this amazing night too. It seemed like they were putting on a show.. They were hovering slowly.

Green River, UT
I took my 11-year-old son and his 12-year-old cousin camping just outside the Goblin Valley State Park in Green River, Utah, on Dec 9, 2017. We started seeing reddish pulsating lights traveling slowly across the horizon, looking west. It was winter, so it was mostly dark outside. I grabbed my camera, a Sony A7 with a 50 mm lens using an f2 aperture and a 6400 iso. The picture has a total of 9 groupings of light, all in a row except one group slightly above the others. The 8 groups had three lights per group that pulsated a reddish color, and the one group slightly above had white pulsing lights. So all together, 42 slowly moving pulsating lights. I also took a video as well. I'm not sure if it was helicopters or not, but it was definitely weird.

Lebanon, MO
Driving toward Saint Louis on highway 44, near Lebanon, we saw a string of lights for about 20 minutes that had a very unusual flash sequence. They seemed to be hovering over the highway. At first we thought they were a fixed object such as a string of towers of some sort. As we got closer, we realized that they were much to high (maybe a mile or so, hard to say for certain as we were in a vehicle the entire time.) They were in mostly a straight line but not exactly and flashing red and white in a very odd pattern. As we got closer, they headed West, not sure of the speed. Someone on our bus was able to record it through the windows. About 20 people saw it. Source of report is a member of law enforcement. PD

At 8:00pm on Dec 9th, 2017, I witnessed numerous red and white flashing lights coming over the mountain tops. It looked like they were in formation and the event last around 5 minutes. The lights were moving north west at that time at a steady pace. I did notice a plane fly above them, maybe 5000 ft above them. But my depth perception of these objects was not good though. I tried to film a video on my phone and still have it but for some reason the lights do not appear. I think you could make a case that this was a military event, however our rural area was out of power at this time and I didn't hear a sound while these objects were flying over. That was very strange to me. I didn't have any sense of fear, mostly just one of wonder. Very cool experience. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be quite sincere and sober-minded. The sighting occurred at night, so we have corrected the time above. PD

Iberia, MO
There was a very long line of flashing white and red lights that was seen across Central Missouri tonight by a number of people in several different towns. It was seen North of St. Elizabeth, and they traveled SW and was seen in Iberia and the Lake Ozark area, a short time later. Very very high in the sky. Red and white flashing lights. There was no sound at all. They were not in any formation just a very long staggered line trailing one right after another. You would think if it was some sort of jet there would be some sort of sound by how many there were. It was completely silent. They're are several videos that people are posting on social media of them. I was able to get a video of them at the time. Was very interesting to see.

Swansea, SC
There was a long line of red lights in sky. They appeared to be in a straight line, as if hung on a wire across the sky. There were no strobes or blinking lights. I was driving, so I cannot estimate how many lights there were, but there were many! They were not doing anything erratic or spectacular. What caught our attention was simply their presence. We could not ignore their abundance. It was one of those, "Wow! Look at that moments!" They appeared from one end of the sky to the other. We have never seen anything like this in the sky before.

Approximately 1730 (after dark) on December 9, 2017, my partner and I were returning from a work site on the Imnaha River, when he said "look at that". When I asked him what saw, he said that he was seeing lights in the sky. We stopped our truck and got out to look. Almost directly over us there were seventeen red lights moving from approximately SSW to NNE at a speed that I would estimate to be that characteristic of a very large jet (relatively slowly). The lights were very large (when compared to the strobe lights generally seen on aircraft) and did not cast a beam or blink. There was no other source of light visible around the red lights--no strobes like normal aircraft navigational lights etc.. There was only a slight noise as they passed--nothing like what I would have expected if these were seventeen large jet aircraft passing overhead. The lights were evenly spaced (it isn't possible to accurate estimate the distance between them) and traveled in a very straight line from the time we saw them until they faded into the distance. I'd like to emphasize that these lights appeared to be very large. Due to the lack of noise, I am assume the objects were at altitude and their large appearance was not due to the fact that they were at a low altitude. In the Characteristics of Object section, there is an option to indicate whether there were aircraft in the vicinity. When the string of lights was quite a distance beyond us, an aircraft (assumed to be an aircraft based on strobe lights flashing) crossed the path of the red lights and continued on until it went out of sight. The strobe lights never deviated from its apparent line of flight.

Today we experienced a snow in and we are currently sitting inside with candles due to a power outage. My family and I have seen about 4 blue lights flash over the sky within the past 35 mintues or so.

Hornbrook, CA
For the past 2 nights, between 9-10 pm PST, I've noticed what I thought was a bright and twinkling star near the bottom left of Orion. Both times, this bright light appeared to hover and subtly move in different directions, diagonal movements being most noticeable. It stayed in the same little area and didn't make any sudden movements at all. It appears to flash multiple colors and be extremely far away. I pulled out my phone to use my SkyMap tonight, to see if there was a corresponding planet or star, and the app kept malfunctioning.. Which is unusual. From where I am at, the light was straight in the direction of Mt. Shasta. I thought maybe I was just tired last night, but when my friend saw it tonight, that confirmed it for me. Both nights I watched it for a good 10-15 mins before I got too cold and went in.

On Friday night, at approximately 8 PM CST, my sister and I witnessed 13 large (presumably military) aircraft flying in what I would describe as an offset straight line. They were flying one after the other, but not directly behind each other. One would be on the right, the next would be flying just off the former's left wing, and so forth. Each plane had a blinking red light on the end of each wing and a single static white light in the center of the plane. The planes seemed much quieter than usual. Although they were flying relatively low, we could only hear a slight drone or slight humming noise. Once they were no longer directly overhead, they were silent. When they were far enough away that someone could no longer see they were actually planes, they just looked like a large number of blinking red lights in the sky and it was EERIE and STRANGE. I have NO DOUBT these were at least some of the red lights you all have been sent reports of from wit! nesses all over the country. While I believe these conventional craft triggered the mass sighting, the sheer number of them, the pattern in which they were flying and their relative quietness were definitely strange and should be investigated in my opinion. I live close to a large military base and witness maneuvers year-round and at all hours of the day and night. I have NEVER seen anything like what I say Friday night. It was NOT normal in any way. The planes were flying in a West-Northwest direction, heading toward Missouri.

Around 10PM three other friends and I witnessed a light coming from the south of Denver shoot north. At first we thought it was a shooting star. Then it shot back south, appeared above us again and hovered for avout 8 seconds before shooting west. The event happened too quick for it to have been a drone or any airplane. The event was witnessed at 39.702678,-105.154664 to be exact. We were facing east, looking over downtown Denver. I had a flight tracker open on my phone so we could watch planes coming and going from the airports, after checking the radar there was no flights. My friends and I were left speechless, shaking, and cold. It took us a couple minutes to confirm with each other what we just saw. Contact information of other witnesses can be provided.

Stevens Point, WI
As I walked to my car after leaving work, something caught my attention. I was looking directly south up into the sky and noticed 4 balls of orange light, about the same color as a street light far into the distance and high in elevation. The clouds around them could be seen from the light they cast, as it looked like they were sitting atop a bank of clouds looking over the surroundings. Three of the lights were in vertical formation and the other was offset behind them to my left. The offset one disappeared, followed by the three in formation simontaniously. It was like once I noticed them, they disappeared. They looked to be off in the distance of Plainfiel, WI, or even further south. The only other outworldly thing I have seen was too in this direction of Plainfield. The lights seemed to act in a similar way as the ones I saw over a year ago but this time is was at night and they were orange instead of bright white.

Kent, WA
I was driving home from work going east on 212th St. As I was approaching 76th Ave S, I saw a bright star in the sky shining through the trees. I turned south on 76th Ave S and saw a small, fast moving airplane pass pretty quickly underneath the object. It was hovering very close, just to the west side of 76th Ave S. As I got closer, the object looked like a large airplane with a bright headlight, and a few lights on the bottom of it, but there were no flashing lights. It was not a helicopter, more like an airplane. It hovered there very close, perfectly still, as if it was watching traffic. I watched it as I drove south. Eventually I passed it and lost sight of it. It just kept hovering stationary there and never moved. I have seen this type of object far off in the distance before during this time of evening in Kent, but never this close.

I was driving into town to stay in the Comfort Suites on December 6th, 2017. On I-80. I was listening to music, so I didn't hear if there were any sounds. I noticed 1 ball of light, fuzzy on the edges above me. I did not think much of it. The light soon changed to 3 lights. I became aware at this point. I pulled to the side to look up to see 5 balls of light. They hovered slowly moving around for about 3 minutes and then they disappeared. I had an odd feeling the rest of the night.

It was clear that they weren't moving because there were other lights from planes moving behind the two lights.
