Raleigh, NC
There was a white light or object in the afternoon sky shaped like the pi symbol. It was hovering or stagnant initially. Then we noticed it disappear and it reappeared across the sky moving horizontally but smaller. This occurred 3 times and it was gone. It was a clear day in NC with no visible clouds.

I'm 24, drink (but had no alcohol as of the day of or the day before sighting and report), have no military or civilian aircraft training, and I do and was smoking delta 8 (legal in my jurisdiction) this night for full disclosure. My eyesight is also poor. At around 0305, about an hour and a half before starting writing this, I went to have a late-night cigarette (as I am lifelong sufferer from insomnia) and, while watching the snow fog roll in, had my attention attracted by a bright, steady yellow light that appeared to be in the very low atmosphere, perhaps between 5-15 miles distant, moving out of the north into the south west, with steadiness. I was watching from a trailer park where I live with my fiance close to and directly beneath White Mountain, facing east. I instantly ran to bedroom to wake my fiancé. Although she was groggy and had to put her contacts in, and did not see anything (at first), she came back to the front door after putting in her eyes (I was now waiting just inside the door as it was around 4 or 5 degrees Fahrenheit not accounting for the chill) and we watched them for a while. She saw them too. I saw a yellow light move north in an arcing fashion, like it was making a half-circle in the air, and then it began to descend rapidly while still moving forward (north), before blinking out. The descent was rapid, though potentially not rapid enough to exclude UAVs as a possibility. As I have said, I have no military experience and cannot speak to military hardware or its capabilities. Another one soon popped into being after the first one went out, then the first one came back to life, and we saw both, though they were stationary when this particular movement occurred. We watched, from the cold of the front door, for over forty-five minutes together. The lights continued to increase and lower their elevation, though usually turned off before seeming to move. Eventually, given that I did wake her from a dead sleep, she returned to bed. But I continued watching them turn on and off, and show up in different places for the next 15 minutes, after which no activity was noticeable. I remained a further quarter of an hour before retrieving the laptop to file this report. I have since checked on the sky several times with no sign of any further abnormal activity. The whole time, lights would blink into existence around other lights that came from nowhere, which I figured could have been stars obfuscated by the fog, until they would begin to move, sometimes before switching their lights off. Sometimes I could swear that they were putting off red light, but it was so fleeting, I can still not be sure, especially given the fog and my eyesight, which began to progressively cloud over after a while. There were no less than two, but I suspect there were more, as sometimes I would catch glimpses of light pulsing around a central light in the sky almost exactly east of my position. I could not discern if the central light was a craft or a celestial object, but it seemed the other light(s) kept a close proximity to it, and I used this central light as reference point, while glancing askance at the lights to better view them, to detect movement. I saw the lights moving at least four times without "turning off" first. My fiance saw at least 2 of these 4 occasions of movement, minus the first time I saw it alone and went to wake her, and another instance where she was watching with me, but could not see the lights as well as I (my eyes had almost completely adjusted by this point). If it weren't for the fact that I know we saw no fewer than two moving objects, I would say the fog was just playing tricks on us. They moved, though. They were piloted craft, beyond a doubt. These could have been UAV's, though the speed and maneuvers were something I have yet to see a civilian drone pull off. If it wasn't a drone, F-35, or Harrier (which I say because the lights would frequently sit still, turn out, then move, which is, in theory, not beyond the capabilities of anything I just named) then the best I can figure is that one of these lights was acting as a staging area for the other(s). I watch these skies every day. I have seen strange things in the skies, but never something strange that was also certainly, beyond a doubt, piloted or controlled by something intelligent. I must say, the lights instantly struck me as out of place. I saw no landing lights (airport in town), no distinguishing characteristic, whatever, beyond the yellow, quickly moving, seemingly stealth-seeking lights. I saw no evidence of increased aerial activity subsequent to the sighting. As a side note, the neighbor's dog wouldn't quit barking, but I promise you, he don't need a reason to start that racket up.

I was standing on my deck looking Southeast towards Sirius and a bright red light about the same size/brightness as Venus was moving quickly from right to left. It disappeared less than ten seconds from first observing it.

Edgewood/ Sandia Park, NM
This is a fairly rural area with very little light pollution. The sky was not fully dark yet, about an 1.5 hours after sunset. Looking at the planetary convergence with 10x50 binoculars (laying on car roof for stability) I was checking out Jupiters 3 visible moons. A single dull red light moving at an extremely high speed entered the Binos field of vision. It entered my FOV under Jupiter and traveled in a straight line from South traveling North, Approximately on the 7 o’clock plane moving towards the 2 o’clock location. It was in the Binos FOV for about 2 seconds as I followed it across the sky, then faded out, I pulled the Binos away and with my naked eye, I picked it up again but very hard to see now. It seemed to pause for a 1/4 of a second & shot directly up, 90 degrees towards the 12 o’clock position and vanished. No visible exhaust trail, no blinking lights or sound. The whole experience lasted 2-3 seconds. I was in shock because I have never seen anything in real life traveling this fast and moving so smooth that changed direction so abruptly. FYI , Kirkland AFB is in ABQ and about 18 miles SW of my location, I can’t view the base or the city of ABQ due to the Sandia/ Manzano Mountains blocking my view. Also there were numerous aircraft in the sky during this siting but none in the immediate area.

Crystal lake, IL
It was 2 bright lights equal distance from each other. There was no connection between the 2 that could be seen. They were always parallel to each other no matter what angle you viewed them from. Even when 90° to it's sides. It flow over three oaks lake and down Randal. It almost looked like a pair of eyes looking back at you. Like one of those painting that eyes follow you. It was always parallel to us, never angled. Jupiter and Venus

Two lights high in sky appeared to be on object hovering stationary in sky. Fiancée and I witnessed this leaving dinner. My friend separately texted me in this moment and reported seeing this as well. Got in car and got onto main road (less than a minute or two in car) when object was suddenly hovering above other side of road to the west. Object appeared very large considering width of lights in relation to height in sky. Object then stayed in this spot for some time. My fiancée and I traveled in car about 20 minutes trying to get closer. Object then seemed to begin to move quickly and steadily north/northwest. Jupiter and Venus

While driving home I noticed two bright stars in a completely black sky, no other visible stars present so they caught my attention. At each red light I noticed they were not moving, the “star” to the right was noticeably larger and had almost an aura of reds and greens coming from it. I kept telling myself it must be an airplane but then I saw an airplane fly across the sky and the scale of it was incredibly different. The plane was much smaller than either star and clearly moving whereas the stars were not. Again I saw no other stars in the sky, something about their distance to one other was very symmetrical as well. Jupiter and Venus

Shelby township, MI
From the window of my friend's apartment we saw two balls of light in a sky without any stars. They were a cool color and one looked further away than the other. It is still there as I'm writing this. Using sky finder, there is no constellation or star that should be there. Jupiter and Venus

Two very bright "star" looking objects side by side, just above the hills. I thought they were stars but they kept moving slightly, especially the one on the right. Went back outside to look again, about 15 minutes later, they were gone. They were very white and bright, as it was night. Jupiter and Venus

My friend from Eugene called me and said “Go outside and look west”. My husband and I immediately saw the 2 lights that my friend was talking about. Also another person in my neighborhood also saw it. As posted on the Nextdoor app. The lights started to fade or get further away then had disappeared from view by 8:00PM Jupiter and Venus

I saw the two light when I went to the store.i have been living at this house for over 20 years and have never seen these two lights in the past. The lights are horizonaly side by side. They do not twinkle. Like I said they look like headlights from a plane but are not moving. I am a 63 year old man, carpenter that just got home from work for the day. Jupiter and Venus

This can’t possibly be Jupiter and Venus because these two objects were slowly descending simultaneously (video is available) and then disappeared in about 30 min after I witnessed them around 7pm but or so. If this was in fact Jupiter and Venus, this would be impossible for these two plants to make such a rapid dissent, let alone to do so in a synchronized fashion. Whatever this sighting was or whoever was behind it knew pretty darn well that those, who would’ve witnessed it were not going to be believed and would be likely to be dismissed because of these two plants being in such a proximity during this specific time coinciding with this event.

two small lights apart, about the width of a wing span of a commercial airplane - just hovering motionless over Torrance, CA. Its been 45 minutes already. The craft hasn't moved at all - just motionless. Freaky....

Lights appeared to be stars at first site but were floating to low to be assumed they were stars. Two lights observed standing still in the sky and did not appeared to be airplanes. Airplanes lights turn on/off and do not stay still. They were too big to be drones. After stepping inside the house for a moment(15 mins.)and returning to document, the observed lights were no longer in the sky. Jupiter and Venus

Two objects which appeared to be stars few at one another, one from the east, another from the west. They were both single bright objects that looked indistinguishable from the other stars in the sky aside from the fact that they were moving. Upon reaching each other they seemed to start orbiting each other not unlike a binary star system for 4 or 5 revolutions before breaking off and continuing to fly in their original directions before becoming dimmer and disappearing from view. From my vantage point this interaction occurred between the constellations of Orion and Sirius. These "stars" appeared about the same luminosity of an average star, around the same as those in the constellation of Orion but not as bright as Sirius of Venus. As they flew away I tried to follow one of them but it quickly became too dim to see. This whole episode lasted about 8 to 10 seconds. There were aircraft in the vicinity but not near this event, and the objects I witnessed did not have any blinking lights typical of aircrafts and only appeared as one solitary light.

We came out of Truman University and they were bright lights, at a far distance in the dark sky not moving, bright. Two lights together. Appear to be a blurry round shape high up above the trees. I did a video Jupiter and Venus.
