On way to Fort Worth on 121 from Frisco, TX
Bright light shot up into the sky, and paused for a moment. Imagine a sheet of rubber band material, you pinch the center and pull it back and release it. That is what the light looked like before it zoomed off into the sky. Like it bounced through the fabric of space and time. It was such an oddly bright white light, too. It was too bright to get a real look at the shape of it. A second or two passed, and then it happened again. Like another ship following the first. It zoomed into space in the same exact way.

My friend and I watched it for about a minute or so and the orange light split into two lights, hovered for half a minute or so and then vanished.

Last night I was up in bed just reading a book for school, when a slight noise caught my attention. My senses are always on high at night since I have a bit of a phobia of the dark, but when I glanced out my bedroom window a saw a strange light in the distance; hovering over the large field thats across from my house. I was a bit confused and at first just wrote it off as some sort of helicopter or airplane. But as I got up from my bed to observe the light closer I have reason to believe that it wasn't. The light was way to close to the ground to be a airplane and fidgeted/moved way to abruptly to be a helicopter; wasn't hovering like I assumed a helicopter would (also no noises that sounds like a helicopter, it was silent). The light itself was kinda a yellow-orange with a red colored tint that fluctuated around the edges of the light. It paced in the air for a moment before it was joined by another matching light. They floated above the field moving about a! nd what looked to be lights shiny down from them onto the field (like floodlights!). They continued to move above the field before one of them either faded out of moved away (couldn't tell but it just started to get fainter) and then the other one just disappeared a few minutes after (just disappearing right of the back, not like the other one who faded). My dog, who had been sleeping downstairs, had been barking off and on contiunesly in the night. And at first I would have written this off, but considering how late she stayed up barking (much later then she usually does) I have reason that she might've been effected by these lights. Though I do have to admit that she is a bit senile, so I wouldn't take her actions at the upmost proof. I went to bed last night confused but woke up feeling normal. I WISHED I HAD TAKEN PICTURES DAMNIT.

Myrtle Beach, SC
At first, a triangle of orange lights appeared in the sky over the ocean. It quickly faded into black. Three people witnessed this formation. Two more people joined our group, and after explaining to them what we saw, another orange light appeared in the sky. We al witnessed as one by one more lights appeared to the right of it in a straight line. After there were three lights shining at one time, when a new one would shine, the longest burning light would fade out. This went through about 8 or so lights before the lights disappeared, two more people joined our group, totaling the number of witnesses to 7. After around 7 minutes two groupings of lights appeared in the sky. They repeated the same pattern as the last grouping, however one disappeared quickly while the other lasted for about 15 seconds. Another light appeared yet again a few minutes later, but it disappeared before doing anything. Each sighting moved further and further south down the coastline.

Springfield, MA
I had gone outside with my boyfriend to have a smoke and look at the stars on a clear night as we usually do. We had quickly noticed a satellite, about 5 planes flying around some higher then others (which I found strange that there was so many planes in just that one section of the sky) and then there was this very bright light in the sky almost like a really big star, just a bright white light no color, flashing, sound or any visible form. It wasn't twinkling or moving but it stood out from all the other stars out that night like it didn't fit in. All of the sudden, about 30-45 seconds of us noticing it, it dropped straight down like it was landing possibly in the distance, there was no trail that came off of it no sound, no shake from impact as if it was a crash. Just a bright big star that fell from the sky in a very odd way.

The object is a white, circular object hovering slightly above the horizon. It stands stationary and occurs throughout the year on random days. However, it often stands motionless for several hours in the early morning (6:00 am--8:30 am), then disappears once the sun has risen.

San Antonio, TX
In the early morning night sky my wife and I noticed a really bright light in the sky. We at first thought it was a star but there were no other stars and the light was way too bright. It seemed to be hovering for some time, so we sat and watched as it held altitude and location for over thirty minutes. As the sun started to rise the round light slowly started moving higher, and after an hour it was so high and far in the atmosphere it could not be seen. There is no explanation for what we saw, it was not an aircraft, meteor, or star. This was an object of some sort though, it had defined shape and propulsion which made it move. I have been around aircraft for over 28 years with the Air Force and my current position as an aircraft mechanic with Boeing Aerospace. This was not any comercial aircraft or known military aircraft, but was some sort of propelled object. I'm convinced now that earth is being watched by someone or something not wanting to be known, however this morning we saw you.

Tucson, AZ
It seemed still at first, but with closer watch it seemed to sort of sway. I thought maybe it was a weather balloon for Davis Monthan AFB, but it wasn't there the night before and it isn't there tonight. I will check again periodically tonight although. The light stayed there the whole drive home so as soon as I got home, I ran inside and told someone to come see. They witnessed the extreme brightness and that it was still but sort of swaying from left to right. The light became harder and harder to look at, we both said it sort of burned our eyes. I experienced a very mild sense of vertigo and nausea. They didn't know what to think other than it may have something to do with the AFB. The light stayed the whole time we watched, we didn't know what to think of it and went back inside. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Centerville, OH
On 13 May, at approximately 11pm, I was sitting on my back porch looking at wildlife with my night vision monocle (model AN/PVS-14). I decided to look up and see the stars that aren’t normally visible to the naked eye due to light pollution, and while I was looking up (almost due east), I saw what appeared to be a faint satellite moving towards the north west, approximately 30 degrees above the horizon. I decided to watch the satellite as it traversed the sky, and as I tracked it, it changed heading towards the south west for approximately 5 seconds, then turned again towards its original heading. This object was not visible to the naked eye, requiring my night vision to see. There was no flashing; just a faint, steady pinpoint of light. I called a friend immediately afterwards to describe what I saw, and while I was on the phone (approximately 5 minutes later), I saw two more of the faint points of light moving on the same trajectory. 15 minutes later, I saw a 4th point of light moving the same direction. Of the 4 objects I saw, only one changed heading while traversing the sky, the other 3 were constant.

Tucson/Sierra Vista (Interstate 10), AZ
Driving east on interstate 10 Tucson to Sierra Vista a single light, star like but bigger. Appeared to hover mostly, however at times appear to move? It might have been a drone. Whatever it was, it visible the whole trip home (75+ miles). Not sure what it was. I took video of it on my cell phone. Probably Venus, we suspect. PD

Lincoln, NE
A friend, his girlfriend, and myself were standing outside talking, and he pointed the lights out to me at about 02:30. They were in the southeastern sky (approximately 150 degrees on the compass). The right and left lights were only very slightly one above the other with the left one being a tad higher. The left light would wobble back and forth and up and down but the right light was as steady as a rock. It seemed to be getting closer as we headed inside after watching them for a good ten minutes. We did not hear any planes passing with in hearing distance. When we returned outside 30 minutes later we could no longer see the lights. The right hand light was fairly steady, the left hand light seemed to get a tad brighter and then darker. I look at stars fairly frequently. I checked my astrolabe app to ensure the lights weren't stars or planets. I'm skeptical of it being a ufo, but I couldn't really come up with a good explanation for it. I wish I had gotten it on camera, but I figured my camera would ((not work well)) in the dark. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides little contact information. PD

Salinas, CA
I was driving home from work around 5am, when I suddenly seen a straight three bright, white light craft flying really close to ground, it caught my attention by the way it would move around ... it shifted different directions at a high speed. I proceded home (shocked). Once I got home, I got out of my car and a loude motor noise above in the sky came closer.. The craft that I first seen passed above me, the motor noice was ridiculous loud it left birds chirping. I couldn't really see the shape of the craft it was still dark.

((Location no revealed by witness)), CA
I have videos of something I saw in the sky. (Not giving away where I live) I'm not quite sure on how to describe the phenomenon but it seemed like an orange strange light in the sky. My father says it could be a comet (he did not see it, he only saw a video I recorded. However, the video does it no justice) It was pretty eerie, not a comet nor did it appear to be the moon. It was an orange light and as the video progressed, it disappeared. I was watching it from my car window and I have no explanation. There's zero reports on it and I find that strange. Anyone else see it? I doubt it was the moon being covered by clouds because it was just so strange and looked so weird. Please, give any possible answers!

Not the first time this has been observed. Bright light in the sky. Several thousand feet up. Looks as if either entering or leaving atmosphere. Starts bright like reflective sun light, then fades to nothing. No marker lights observed. I have seen several of these the past few years. 1-2 monthly.

Cypress, TX
I get up early for work, and it is not unusual to take the dog out before daybreak. On May 10, I was outside with the dog at 5:15 am, waiting for her to finish up so I could get ready for work. I was looking at the sky to see what stars I could identify, but there were scattered clouds so I didn’t see many. I realized there was a very bright light behind one group of clouds and thought to myself that the moon was extremely bright. The clouds were low and as they moved past the bright light, what I originally thought was the glow of the moon was not the moon after all. I didn’t see any definitive shape, just a very bright light, like a spotlight, and I thought it must be a helicopter. It definitely wasn’t an airplane--it didn’t move. Then I realized for a spotlight to be that bright and that large, I should hear some sort of sound. While we do live a couple of miles from a freeway, at that hour of the morning, there is very little noise in the neighborhood. This morning was no different, and this was no helicopter. I looked out at the yard to see where the dog was then looked back at the sky—no more than 5-6 seconds had lapsed--and the light was gone.

Abilene, TX
I tried to take video, and was unable due to how small the lights were and how fast they were going I heard no sound before, as, or after they passed but they were low enough for clouds to obstruct them at one point. One had a 2 second lead or so on the other they were kind of side by side but one following. I am very close to Dyess AFB, which is to the west, but they did not veer left of go west just North and I lost sight within a minute the whole event lasted less than 2 minutes starting when they were out in front of me to the south and high and far enough to look like strange colored stars. I would say closer to 1 minute for the event, that fast, no sound???

Harrington, WA
I was driving down highway 23 after work towards Harrington at 3:45am. I was up by Linda Colbert’s house, when I saw a yellowish ball of light in what looked to be a cloud near the grain elevators. I figured it was the moon, or sometimes the lights are on in the elevator, and it could have been those. Once I drove past the school, and up to the elevators there were no lights on, and no light up near the elevator. I looked up in the sky, and saw the same light on the outskirts of town near highway 28 towards Odessa. When I turn left on Main St in Harrington, I saw the light out over McGregor on the other side of hwy 28. I continued down the street watching it through the raining windshield. It was moving, but I couldn’t tell how fast because of the rain on the windshield. I decided to roll my window down at 5th and Main, but when I did, I could no longer find it.

Wylie, TX
I was sitting on my window edge just talking to some friends in a call. My window is on the 2nd floor of the house so a good 20 feet above the ground. As I was sitting there I saw an object flying off in the distance. I took my headphones out to see if I could hear any noise from it as it was flying relatively low. There was no noise coming from it. The object also emitted blue and red lights and at times white lights. The first time it came around and moved across the sky it flew really smooth and fast for an airplane which I don't believe it was. After it flew out of my sight of view I began to keep an eye out. Around 5 minutes later, it reappeared from the same area. This time however the blue light stayed on the whole time and the red light it had blinked between bright and dim. A very subtle detail I saw was that the object seemed to move a little faster whenever the red light was brighter and slowed down when it was dimmed. The object also was flying si! gnificantly slower the 2nd time it came back as it was in my field of view for a few minutes rather than just one. The only thing in the areas it went to that it could have checked out were ranches and open land.

Baltimore, MD
I woke up to use the restroom and saw a really bright spot in the sky. At first, I thought it was a star, an incoming plane, or a helicopter flying over the city, but the light isn't moving. The light resembles a star, but way bigger. As it begins to dawn, the light is becoming dimmer, but it is still there. It does not appear to be moving. Perhaps it moved up, higher in the sky, but it's difficult to tell. Even the binoculars aren't helping much. The light is still in the sky (5:15). ( Sighting of Venus in E sky? PD))

Then, as I watched it, it was actually moving slowly across the sky. I watched it move from the northeast to the south with tiny wobbling movements I don't know what could be that high and cover that much space so quickly. I've seen the ISS and it is lower and quicker with no wobbles. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

White Ball flying South would come to a complete stop for 10-20 second intervals and change directions multiple times; changed to an east pattern; would stop 10-20 seconds and shift in a zig zag pattern until burning bright and travel upward and vanished after glowing bright. The fish in my pond where jumping.
