I went outside with my dog to see the super moon. I did not notice anything around the moon when looking at it but I took three pictures of the moon and in one picture, there are two lights near it and the other, four white lights and two other lights to the side. One picture has no lights. I thought it might be a reflection but I’m not sure, since one picture had no lights. The lights were right over the entrance/exit area to Fort Myer and are viewed from a residential neighborhood across Washington Blvd. Lens flares from headlights, and a green traffic signal. PD

Fort Myers, FL
While walking the dogs, we noticed this very bright star like light in the southwest sky. It was bright with alternate colors of red, blue and yellow that seemed to flash around it. I first wrote it off as an airliner, but it wasn't moving. Stayed stationary in the sky for the hour we watched it. Doesn't look like a star at all. We suspect the witnesses may have been looking at a "twinkling" star. PD

Within minutes of the spotting the object, an emense fog covered our fields and roadways. Just thought it was all kinda odd!! We suspect the witnesses may have been looking at a "twinkling" star. PD

Chesapeake, VA
I had seen a light moving in the sky and did not see any flashing lights which raised my interest. As I continued to follow the light with my eyes for a couple minutes, it slowly faded away. About one minute after the disappearance, there was an extremely fast flash across the night sky in the same vicinity. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Stanley, NM
At approximately 6:25 pm on 11/30/17, I was driving south on Highway 41 and in the town of Stanley, NM. My approximate speed was 50 mph. As I approached the intersection of Stanley road, a large, blinking red light appeared from the west. It was traveling at a high rate of speed and very low to the ground (just above tree level). It literally came out of nowhere, just before it passed over Highway 41 (and over my car), heading due east. The land around Stanley is flat, and you can see for miles. I don’t know how I could have missed its approach, and after it passed overhead, it didn’t take long (maybe 10 seconds at most) for it to travel 3-5 miles. I didn’t stop my car, and I kept looking to my left to observe the light as much as I could. The last time I saw it, it was near the horizon and had either landed or was very low to the ground. Worth noting: the moon was still in the eastern sky, and it was very bright and illuminated the sky quite well. Even with this illumination, I couldn’t make out anything other than the light itself - I couldn’t see any shape to determine if this light was attached to an airplane or helicopter. I don’t know of any aircraft that ONLY have one, large, blinking red light, though.

AT APPROXIMATLY 830 PM, MYSELF AND SON WERE WALKING TO THE STORE AND I NOTICED SOME LIGHTS BUNCHED TOGETHER BEHIND A TREE AND ALSO A PLANE TAKING OFF FROM THE AIRPORT BUT AS I LOOKED AT THE LIGHTS LONGER I NOTICED THAT THEY WERE SIDEWAYS TILTED A BIT. THERE WAS THREE OF THEM AND I WATCHED AS THE DEPARTING PLANE WENT UNDER THEM AND THEN THEY HEADED DUE WEST AT A INCLINATION. THE TWO BOTTOM ONES DISAPPEARED, BUT THE BRIGHT ONE HAS A BRIGHT ORANGE LIGHT ON TOP AND BLUE AND RED PANELS DRAPED OF THE SIDES. IT STAYED AT THE INCLINED POSTION FOR ABOUT 15 MIN BEFORE IT MOVED TO THE RIGHT ABOUT 12 DEGREES... I ALSO SAY A GROUP OF MUCH SMALLER ONES DIRECTLY IN THE PATH AND FOLLOWING IT AS IT WAS MUCH FARTHER THEN THE ATMOSHPHERE BY NOW.

Batavia, NY
it started as me my wife, and my 11 year old grandson was taking a walk. we heard a chopper, and it came into view.. Suddenly, we noticed a large round bright white light moving steady without making any sound at all, other than the helicopter that was staying in a steady speed behind the craft, at a distance of about 100 yards. It was like the helicopter (was not) chasing the bright white light, but rather flying in formation by using distance behind the craft. We all got a very good look at this thing, and as it passed over us. I could faintly see a gray round disc craft!!!! I can say this for sure. I never really believed fully that there were aliens, as well as UFO's, but I do believe it now, as I saw one!!!! With my own eyes..

Orland, CA
What we saw was not the pictures showing. We saw what appeared to be clouds or some type of fog spinning in a circle. In pulsating in and out. With the picture shows in the video are eight lights in the sequential order, as if there entering the mortuary across the street from my house. We stood there and watch them for approximately 5 minutes walked underneath them to see if we could see beams of light coming from the top bottom or sides. We saw nothing like that they appeared to be individual lighted crafts of some type.

Eucha, OK
I had gone out to look at the moon When I looked into the sky, I noticed a very bright light, it seems to have something shadowing it on both sides Then I noted a set of lights appear next to the light I was watching and all of a sudden, those lights moved away from it at an extreme speed flying away, it turned its lights on and off a few times and then it disappeared Within seconds, another set of lights also took off with great speed next to the light I was watching. then they turned off and on their lights within seconds they were gone out of sight Then the original light I was looking at slowing moved away and disappeared Witness provides no information; elects to remain anonymous.

Sterling, VA
At approximately 7:45 PM EST, I saw a single point-source of light traveling due north near my house, approaching the Potomac River, which is a short distance from my house. It was about the size and intensity of a single aircraft landing light, and appeared to be flying at standard approach altitude for Dulles Airport, which is also not very far from where I live. At first I thought it was an aircraft either leaving or approaching Dulles Airport. I then noticed that the object had no navigation lights of any sort. If it had been an aircraft, I would have been able to see the standard green and red lights at its apparent altitude. I thought at first that it might have been a satellite, but ruled this out quickly, because it was too large, and traveling too rapidly. When the object slowly changed direction, and began to fly due east, I definitely knew it was not a satellite. After about five minutes, the object suddenly disappeared from view, which furt! her aroused my suspicion. The only other possibility was a drone, but I do not believe it was one of these either, because of its flight path, its apparent altitude, and its sudden disappearance.

On 11/27/2017 at around 5:40AM, I took my dogs out back, so that they can go. I looked up to the sky, as I always do, and it was beautiful. There were very little clouds and the stars could be vividly seen. Suddenly, I realized one of the stars in the distance appeared to be moving from west to east. I thought it was a comet, but there wasn't any trail behind it. Moreover, this star/light move very fast. I didn't want my wife to think that I was telling stories so I called her to see for herself. By the time she came outside, the star was moving towards the east. I pointed my spot light to the sky to who my wife what I was looking at looking at. Immediately, she thought it was a "shooting star" until another star began to move int he opposite direction towards to west, at the same high velocity. I don't think they were commercial planes, because we see them all the time. In fact, there was a plane passing by while the other star moved to the east, and it was much slower, with flashing lights. The incident lasted for about five minutes. So, my question is; was the Military (macdill AFB), conducting any experiments in the skill this morning? If so, do we have aircraft that is capable of such high speeds and able to fly at such high altitudes? Note: This is not the first time, I am seeing this phenomena in that part of the sky; this is the first time I had someone else, my wife, to witness it with me. Could there be a logical explanation for this? I'm sure it is going to happen again. If it does, I will take recording of it. Witness provides no information; elects to remain anonymous. Hoax?? PD

I was with my college roommate driving to a party and I noticed something out the window. It was a bright orange/yellow circular light/object. I freaked out as it looked unworldly. My friend saw it as well. The rest of the drive we were freaked out and trying to find an explanation for what we saw, which we could not. We saw the object for about 30-60 seconds before it was gone. The light was so bright/large.

Wilkes Barre, PA
As the wbs penguins game was letting out, I observed a bright flashing white light in the sky. I realized the light was flashing SOS in morse code. I pointed this out to my wife and a few others. My initial thought in this day and age of terrorism was a hijacked aircraft flashing the landing lights. The object appeared to be slowly getting closer. Again I thought aircraft that was far away and high. The white light stopped flashing and was replaced with a solid green light. The object then appeared to accelerate rapidly, come more overhead, and stop again. It flashed SOS in white light 2 more times. The green light then accelerated rapidly back in the same direction it came from out of sight. The object came from and returned to the west. The moon was up but mostly obscured by clouds. When the object was more overhead, it appeared there was more than just a light. The green light seemed to illuminate some of the underside. It was so high however that i could not swear to what shape the object was. I tried to get video, but my phone would not work. My wife did get some video, but it is not very good.

Newhall, CA
On the night of Saturday, November 25, 2017, I was walking my dog in Newhall, CA, when I noticed a giant red light in the sky, and it was not a plane. I audibly said “No Way,” and stopped to watch. I could not stop staring as it seamed to be fixated on me and my dog. It then turned off the light and within a millisecond was quite close to us, although I was not really able to make out the shape. It would sit still turning the light on and off and then would “dart” from one side of the sky to another, doing maneuvers that I have never ever seen before. It did this for approximately 2-3 minutes. It was unbelievable to watch. It then turned to a smaller light green and blue light flying away at incredible speeds and continuing with the impossible maneuvers done earlier. It was an experience that I will never forget. It was very quiet also for a Saturday night, no cars that I can remember driving by or anyone walking like usual.

5 very bright lights moving slowly in formation to the southwest. The leading two moved slowly closer together. After about 1-2 minutes the leading two light faded away extremely quickly (in about ½ second) and the remaining lights followed.

We suspect that the lights, because they reportedly shone on the clouds, may have been advertising lights. PD

2 large bright lights appeared out of nowhere in the sky. They were beside each other with space in between. The lights grew suddenly brighter and bigger. They were not moving at the time. Within 10 seconds of their brightest the lights began to fade simultaneously. They dimmed to barely visible and moved in perfect formation south until I could see them no more.
