Vernon, NY
Two objects(lights) were noticed after they had passed overhead. These objects produced no sound and there was no beacon as with normal aircraft. These objects were moving away from us and the intensity of the light didn't seem to change. Therefore, I am discounting landing lights as the source of illumination. I am unable to estimate height and speed due to darkness but it took less than one minute for these 2 objects to go from overhead to beyond the visible horizon. Also, as they moved away, they seemed to change position in relation to each other as if they were in a race.

This evening my mother and I were on the front patio talking, when very high in the sky I noticed a small, far away, bright light. It looked like a star but extremely bright, yet the sun had not set yet. I was shocked it was so bright. Then it started to move down, to us it seemed as though it was moving slowly, but it appeared to be quite far away so it could've been quickly. As it moved downward it faded slowly until it completely disappeared. There were no clouds in the area for it to disappear into. We watched it until it got so dim we could no longer see it. I yelled for my husband and by the time he came outside it was too dim for him to see. We stayed out there about another 10 minutes. All of a sudden, my husband was yelling, "Holy crap there it is!!!" I looked up in the same spot and sure enough there it was. So extremely bright and fading as it slowly moved downward. It appeared to be very very high in the sky. I am not sure if this was a UFO or something else, but I came upon this site when searching for other possible similar sightings. I thought I would share my experience in case others had or will have the same! Thanks much!

Tortola (British Virgin Islands), British Virgin Islands
Date: Thursday, 7 December, 2017, Time: Approx 1830hrs Location: Harbour of Road Town, British Virgin Islands Direction of view: South I was onboard the Thomson Marella Celebration cruise ship sat on the open deck of deck 6 at the stern of the ship, when a red light in the sky caught my eye. It appeared to move quite erratically. I initially thought it may have been a helicopter but the angle of trajectory didn’t not fit entirely with that of a helicopter. The manner in which it halted and changed direction was too precise. I then considered it may be a drone but the light, in my opinion, was too bright and it appeared to be too large given the height in the sky from my standing position. Not to mention, there was no sound from rotor blades of engines. I had been watching for approx. 30 seconds, before I decided to film this, and also alerted my wife and friend to the object in the sky.

Southaven, MS
Bright pulsating lights with rotating colors (violet, blue, white). Began appearing 3 months ago in NW Sky, 45 deg or less from horizon. Now there are 5+, all located at same deg from horizon, 4 do not seem to move and seem to make a pattern in sky. 2 in W sky and 2 in E sky. There are 3 evenly-spaced lights (not as bright) running vertically exactly between the 2 in the E sky. Seems to mimic Belt of Orion – Most witnesses tell me, “That is the Big Dipper”. These 5 lights line up like a cross, exactly evenly spaced with the 2 on either side pulsating brightness w rotating colors. First noticed this pattern one week ago and I am looking every night for last 3 months, so I believe they are increasing in number and communicating with patterns. Arcturus and Serpens, I believe, are located in our E sky at a higher degree. I have evidence.

Somerset, NY
My husband, my sister and I were sitting around a campfire at our campsite on the shore of Lake Ontario. I caught sight of something moving very quickly to my left (west) from behind a group of large trees. We all saw a bright orange ball of light that slowed down, hovered for a few seconds and then moved quickly to the Northeast out over the lake. There was no sound as the object moved over us. The whole episode lasted about 30 to 45 seconds.

Jefferson, GA
I went out to have a smoke at around 4:30 AM. I do this often, and am always looking up for shooting stars, satellites, etc. I saw a slightly yellowish/white light in the Western sky flash dimly then go out. I kept watching the same area of the sky, and several seconds later, the light appeared again, but about 5 times as bright, and the light stayed on for at least 3 seconds, and had moved some distance toward the east. It then flashed dimly several seconds later, then again dimly, then very brightly and for a longer duration. There was no rhythm to this flashing at all, it was very random, and definitely was not a plane. I’ve seen many satellites, and this was very different. For one, it was much slower, and secondly, on a strange west to east path, thirdly, satellites don’t flash. The strangest thing though, I went out the very next night, and saw the exact same object, same trajectory, only slightly further south in the sky. I don’t know what it was, but it was definitely unidentified by this long time sky watcher.

Sterling Heights, MI
Around 10:00 PM on July 9, 2017 as I was about to unload my groceries, I noticed a bright blue/teal light and a smaller red light in the sky. At first, I assumed it was a plane but noticed that the lights were not blinking or moving. After about a minute or less the red light disappeared. At this time, I called my husband over to come check it out but he blew me off. After about another minute or so of the bright blue/teal light just stationary, it quickly shot straight up a few feet and stopped. I again yelled for my husband to come see it, explaining that the red light disappeared and the blue light just shot up quickly. As my husband walked over to see, the blue light jumped quickly to the left a few feet and then about 15-20 seconds later it dropped or shot or dove down towards the ground in a diagonal direction. As it dove towards the ground, there was a buzz or zip sound, and then the it was gone, just vanished.

Oshawa (Canada), ON · Canada
Out walking my dog at a local park in Oshawa, Ontario July 8 ,2017. As soon at the park looking directly west Something was not right with there being ' three ' bright stars in a row All three were in a row across the sky looking straight west One star there extra I thought ? I had realized in my mind- not be a star ? Should only be two I thought Just then as I'm watching the three stars The center one started to move very slow directly north losing light intensity I grabbed my camera to capture the moment @ 23:26 pm est It just then faded out gone ! Again the feeling of masquerading to appear like star/planet Please note : I have seen this type of sighting before here in Oshawa Needless to say the pictures came up empty Based on what I had witnessed Do wonder about the power outage hiccup that occurred earlier here at 10:10 pm Timing is uncanny One of many reports from this witness.

Riverside, CA
On the night of July 8, 2017, my wife called my attention to a red ball of light approximately 20 miles away, to the West. The light was bright red and pulsing bright & dim. It hovered, then rapidly ascended straight up. On the way up, it changed color from red, to blue, to pale yellow, orange, then back to red, when it stopped. It hovered a few moments, then remained red and slowly descended, below the horizon. The entire event lasted about one minute. The light was incredibly bright, for as far away as it was.

Vienna, VA
A red, silent light traveling in a straight eastward path followed by another light on the same path. We then observed 3 more of the same red lights at about 3-5 minute intervals heading on the same path. The lights were not as high as airplanes on this flight path, but we were unable to see a shape or hear any sounds from the ufos.

Walla Walla, WA
Driving home from North Bend and witnessed a non-moving light in the sky just outside of Pasco, WA. The light was circular in shape and appeared to be staying still possibly spinning. I attempted to video it with my iPhone and when I got it to videotape apple symbol appeared as if I had restarted my phone and stayed that way till I neared Walla Walla. Past second street on highway 12 i got my camera to work again and I started filming the object which was over the airport not moving, just a really bright light. I shot video for 1 minute and exited on Wilbur and headed home. The light then started to follow me. Once home I noticed the light down my street and I pulled in my drive way and ran around the side of the house to see if it had come all the way and it was gone. I went inside and got a flashlight and let my dog out and went into the back yard to see where the light was and it was gone. I saw what looked like the light but now a great distance away and appeared to be a weird shaped star. Went to check the video today and it is gone.

Le 7 juillet 2017, entre 23h et minuit, le témoin, depuis sa terrasse, en compagnie d'amis, observe 5 objets lumineux dans le ciel évoluant l'un après l'autre, du nord-est vers le sud-ouest, totalement silencieux et avec une même trajectoire. Il n'y avait jamais deux objets visibles en même temps, ils ne clignotaient pas. Ils avançaient à une vitesse assez soutenue et sont restés visibles assez longtemps. Le 13 juillet 2017, le témoin recontacte le GEIPAN pour signaler qu'après s'être documenté sur un cas similaire observé en 2008 à l'île-d'Yeu et avoir visionné en détail le site du GEIPAN, notamment, la vidéo relative aux lanternes thaïlandaises, il est convaincu qu'il s'agit d'un phénomène identique. Son observation correspond en tous points (lumières, vitesse, trajectoire...) à celle de lanternes. Il a été surpris car il ne connaissait pas l'existence de ces lanternes célestes. Le cas est classé A : observation de lanternes célestes. [GEIPAN classification A — Lanterne thai]

Ocoee, FL
Sitting on porch. At 21:21 I was already looking at night sky with no disturbance, out of nowhere, three orangeish red lights appeared automatically they were not far nor close. They didn't come from above or below. They stayed. Hovering east to west. One faded, then two faded and the third stayed a full minute longer before fading. At first sight, I jumped up and the other two people followed and stood behind me, I have video and film.

Port Sanilac, MI
I walked outside of my home at 3 am this morning, when I saw a bright light in the sky to the east, in the same location of the craft that I saw the night before. I looked at it for a couple minutes and realized that the craft had red, yellow and white lights. I went back inside of my home, and as I was trying to get inside the door, I felt the presence of a being trying to catch me. I called the hotline and then went back outside to take this video. Possible sighting of Venus?? PD

I am 100% certain that this is not a jet/plane, a satellite, another celestial body, or the I.S.S. It has a very bright light and is constantly moving in all directions back and forth. Zig-zag, infinity pattern, etc.

Warner Springs (near), CA
While travelling east on Highway 79, another vehicle came up from behind and began tailgating me at 65 mph. I slowed to 50mph to express my dissatisfaction with this miscreant. That didn't work so slowed again to about 40 mph. Then the "headlights" from his vehicle just disappeared. I thought that he had foolishly shut them off, so I slowed to a near stop and carefully searched my rearview mirror. There was a moon, so I could see well. There was no vehicle and I am certain that it did not leave the road as this is cattle country with fencing coming all the way up to the shoulder. There is only one dirt driveway in this area, but I was not upon that. There are no trees or bushes along this road to hide a car. The vehicle did not pass nor turn around, it was just gone. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Peter, they were normal headlights though perhaps a little closer together than normal, maybe like a smaller car. Also there was a vehicle coming from the opposite direction at the moment these lights disappeared. That vehicle continued on as would be expected. Now the extra weird part. There was no way I would put this into the body of the report. I have both heared and read of unusual animal sitings occuring at the same momet as a (UFO) siting, esp dog-like animals. Well...just in the seconds prior to this vehicle's disapperance, an animal that appeared to be a hairless coyote (Mange?) was observed at the side of the road, sitting on its hind legs sort of leaning against a fence post as if waiting for something, maybe just to cross the road. It was at this very spot that the headlights "extinguished". I am quite certain that the "vehicle" did not pull over here. As I said I could see clearly in this moon. I am not asserting that this animal was anything but what I perceived it to be..but...it just looked so odd and was at the exact spot the "phenomenon lights" disappeared. These lights were less about 10 feet behind me. ((END ADDENDUM))

Alto, NM
Unidentifiable bright lights as seen in Alto, NM, on Thursday, July 6, 2017, at approximately 21:00 to 22:00 hours. On a clear night, Thursday, July 6th, 2017, there was a bright light that was then joined by two other bright lights, on either side of the original. This taking place for approximately 1 to 2 minutes. Then disappearing. We were visiting friends at their home in Alto, NM. They had shared with us that they had seen these lights on the previous evening. There was no sound accompanied by the lights. Their shape was more triangular than circular. Beginning lighter and then becoming brighter before distinguishing completely.

Majors Place (south of), NV
At approximately 9pm on Thursday, July 6th, I saw three red lights while driving south on US 93 about half way between Major's Place and Pioche, Nevada. The lights simultaneously appeared, stayed on for about five seconds then disappeared. About five seconds after disappearing, the three red lights reappeared only disappear after about five seconds. About ten minutes later, the identical lights, location, and duration happened again. The lights were reddish orange in color. For their size, they were about the size of a BB. Two of the lights were close together, not far above the horizon. The third, was to the left higher in the sky. They did not appear to be moving. I have driven on US 93 in this area many times and have never seen anything like this. There are no radio towers or cell towers in the area that could have been responsible for the lights. I have been an aircraft mechanic since 1994. The solid reddish orange light is unlike standard aircraft lighting configuration.

Elkhart Lake, WI
Flashing sporadic white light at seemingly very high altitude. Moved in different location each flash, flash lasting about 1 second each until eventually moving behind some trees. Although this event occurred close the the 4th of July this did not at all resemble any firework I have ever seen. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Orlando, FL
I was heading out to my front porch, here in East Orlando, about 5 minutes prior to a Space-X Falcon-9 launch of the Intelsat 35e. I am about 37-miles west of the Space X complex at Cape Canaveral, and can see the rockets quite clearly when they launch. As I went out the door, facing east, I noticed a very bright light to the northeast rising upward, about a third of the way off the horizon, initially almost exactly the same speed and curved trajectory a rocket launch would follow to the southeast. I was upset because I thought I had missed the initial launch. I tried to shoot a digital movie of the bright light, but it did not come out as far as I can see. I visually followed the light as it climbed and got smaller and smaller, finally vanishing at high altitude. I was puzzled because the light was an intense white color, and usually rockets at low altitude display a bright orange flame, as I was thinking I had been watching the Falcon-9 launch, and I’ve seen many launches from the Cape over the last 10-years, and what I thought was the launch just didn’t add up. A few minutes later, a 7:37 pm (1937 hours) I saw the bright orange flame of the Falcon-9 booster appear just to the southwest, as it climbed and started to leave a contrail as it went into the upper atmosphere. What really puzzled me, is that I had the impression that the bright light seen a few minutes earlier had been moving a whole lot faster than the rocket after it gained some altitude, I’d say about 4-times faster. I know they prohibit aircraft in the immediate launch area, and the bright light flew directly through it only a few minutes prior to the actual launch. I thought maybe an Air Force jet had left the skid strip on afterburner or something, but I was in the Air Force and never saw an afterburner as bright as that. It was odd, because I really thought I had been watching the launch, and only after I saw the actual launch did I find the whole episode strange.
