There was a bright light at least 10 times the brightness of a typical star hovering in one spot for over 2 hours. Then, it vanished.

My sister and I were driving from Tucson to Sierra Vista tonight. Right near the Sanoita/Patagonia exit going east on I-0 we noticed a bright light in the sky, It was hovering and bobbing. The light was getting dimmer and brighter. We continued to watch it and finally pulled off on Lenzer Rd. in Sierra Vista. We smoked a cigarette and watched it until it very suddenly disappeared. Pretty cool and we got a few photos. It was definitely not an airplane or anything like that, there is no way. It was in the same spot relatively for over 25 minutes and was pretty low in altitude also.

According to my Iphone, the location of the video begins at Coyote Run Golf Course, before my landing at Midway International Airport. There is no sound in the video and this may be because my headphones were plugged in at the time because I was watching a downloaded television series. Although I don't know if that is the reason, I beleive it to be that it was the result of my faulty headphone microphone. My friend, who I told the entire experience to wanted to see the video but I couldn't send the video because it was to big to send, so he insisted on me posting it on YouTube which I did, in case anyone had any questions about my video who wasn't my friend I put all the basic information in the description. I do not have any explanation for the aircraft I saw, this was a UFO because this wasn't my first sighting, I had another sighting down the street from my own home, (26037 Whispering Woods Circle). I don't know if they are connected to me in some way or if it is simply an improbable coincidence. I ask that you respond because I too research and soon investigate UFOs and other paranormal and supernatural phenomena, I am no fraud I simply think that I should report this because I believe that my story along with everyone else's have a right to be heard. (( We first posted this report on March 10, 2017, but we did so, without having spoken with the witness. We have attempted to reach him via telephone, but have not been successful yet in speaking with him. We are uncertain as to whether the report is a serious account of a genuine sighting, or whether it might be an attempt to submit a hoaxed report. The duration of the sighting that was indicated by the witness makes us doubly suspicious. Also, when we first posted the report, we inadvertently overlooked the fact that the witness had included his name in the report, which we now have deleted. The oversight was our fault, a result of our dealing with a daunting workload, at the time. PD))

Statesville, NC
Super bright blue light traversed across country road at approximately 60 feet above road. As I was driving, my vehicle completely shut off. Radio shut off, as well. The entire incident took less than 1 minute, but once the light entered the wood line to the right of the road, it disappeared, or instantly was no longer visible. The height of the trees in entered were approximately 65 feet and were dense in number. The light had no sound and wasn't flashing or sparkling. It was constant and extremely bright. As suddenly as it disappeared, my vehicle started up and the radio and headlights resumed. Nothing was reported in any local news and I am unaware of anyone else who witnessed this event.

Midland (Canada), ON · Canada
Two pinpoints of light discernible using binoculars. Stationary in the western sky. Yellow/copper in colour, with some blue and red circling the predominant colour. Appear to be moving closer: the distance between the lights has increased. Extremely stable in the sky, not a plant nor a planet/star. Not a light atop a transmission tower.

Grilling on my deck I observed what appeared to be an aircraft in the eastern sky in a regular pattern I have seen for decades where I live. It displayed a flashing white light. I noticed a red light appear and then the craft stopped suddenly, It then changed direction to the north and sped up to a much higher speed. It then stopped and changed course suddenly again and continued north. I walked through my house and walked out the north entrance door. The aircraft was moving north where it stopped at some point and dropped at a high speed until other homes were blocking its view. I have never seen anything like this in my life.

My husband witnessed on 219 at the turner/hartford line where there are two fields on each side of the road an extremely bright light that bounced around in an odd pattern hovering above these fields, there was no noise, five other vehicles pulled over witnessing the event, he tried to take a video or photo but his cell phone stopped working properly, it was still there when he drove off.

Updated: Grilling on my deck I observed what appeared to be an aircraft in the eastern sky in a regular pattern I have seen for decades where I live. It displayed a flashing white light then changed to a non blinking red light. The object (5-10 miles out?) appeared to be hovering as planes around the O'Hare airport area were constantly moving. It seemed to drop very fast then turned to the north and sped at unimaginable speed. Almost like a laser pointer but the sky was clear and no sound. It then stopped again and changed course slightly continuing north. I walked out the north entrance door of my home and observed the same red light moving north at a high speed where it stopped directly north and dropped at a high rate of speed below my field of view. This could not have been a regular or military aircraft, helicopter or even a drone. Nothing I know of could maneuver that fast. I have never seen anything in the sky like this in my life.

Irving, TX
I observed a brilliant light west of my location. It was not Venus. It was not an airplane, or in usual flight path towards DFW. (I have worked at an airline at DFW for 24 years, I know the flight patterns and what an aircraft looks like.) This light was hovering, and so bight it radiated starburst. There were a dozen or so helicopters circling it. I shot video, you can clearly see helicopters going around the object, even passing over head. They are different than object, in they have the typical lighting after about 15 minutes, the light descended closer to ground, and then proceeds west, diminishing in intensity of brightness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wC3e-QflaI

Holstein, IA
On the night of February 17, I was coming home and saw a bright ball of light in the sky. As I was looking at more closely I saw that it had a ring of red lights underneath it and seemed to follow me when I turned a corner and continued to follow me till I got home. Then it sat there for a long time.

Edmonton (Canada), AB · Canada
We came out of McDonald's when I was drawn toward a bright light, high in the northern sky. I had seen this kind of light before ... I guess that was why I was looking up there. Venus was visible already [it was pre-dusk] high in the south-west - and that light in the northern sky had about the same magnitude than Venus did that evening. As we drove home -about a 10 minute drive] we still saw that light, but it soon faded dramatically, only to split into two fainter lights, hovering above each other, then starting to 'dance' around each other [my daughter said 'they are playing tag']. When I ran inside to get the binoculars, the lights were gone ... as there never was anything up there. Last evening [Februray 21] we saw the same thing again. Same time, same location, same brightness at first. This time I had binoculars at hand, and two neighbours witnessed it too [though, they dismissed it as balloons or something like that]. After waiting about 20 minutes, the light faded again and it split into many tinier lights. The binoculars revealed that the original light was donut shaped, and after fading, the smaller were just light dots, moving erratically, before shooting away in all directions with such speed I could not follow them with the binoculars. I also saw two, what looked like cloud-shapes among the seven tinier lights before they shot away. I'd like to know what we all saw ... Thanks

Longview, TX
I have been a huge skeptic all my life but after seeing what I have seen I know something is going on. I saw this happening in the sky about 2 weeks ago and knew it was not of this world. It was a faint amber light that was high in the sky and would stall then move then zig zag around. At times a flash of light in the shape of a crescent would come from it..my Mother saw this too, and it would stay in one area then zoom quickly to the other part of the sky. Well, tonight I saw it again and it is still out there doing this. It doesn't stop. It was all over the place doing the same things as before but this time it emitted 3 white dot like lights-best way to describe is like the flash when you take a picture-it did this twice then it for a second was shrouded by blackness (there were NO clouds) and came back out. I followed it with my eyes as it joined (I couldn't believe this) what looked like 3 more faint amber lights.. they like danced around each other. Then that one took off again just zooming and zig-zagging around the stars. It would pause at times then take off in a quickness then zig-zag around. I found myself not even wanting to blink so I could keep up with it. I could stay out there all night watching it. Very mesmerized and perplexed. I live out in the country and there are no city lights around. I don't know what this is or what is going on, but something is definitely happening up there.

Observed 2 bright white star like objects about 22 degrees north. They were about 8-12 inches apart with blue skies for back round. Moved up and down side to side. Hovered for 10 to 15 mins., then faded away to the north.

I thought it might be a star but there were none around and it was the only thing there shining brightly. Venus? PD

Greer, SC
It was my mother and I and we were pulling into our neighborhood late at night after a trip to Charleston. As we approached the house, I saw a small white light in the air that looked like a star. A second after I noticed it, it ascended at a rapid elevation into the sky, until disappearing. To note, the object rate of acceleration was too high to have been a helicopter, so I immediately discarded that idea. I did however, suspect it to be an LED helicopter, which are small, colorfully illuminated toys that are flung up into the air at a high speed. If not a manned craft of some nature, this would appear to be the most likely explanation. However, this white object lacked any of the flashing colors of the LED toy (which would consist of blue, red, green, etc), and did not fall back to the ground at any noticeable time. It merely hung in the sky for a single second, and then took off into the sky. I myself am very open minded to the possible existence of extraterrestrial UFOs; however, I also firmly believe that the majority of such sightings are either hoaxes or misinterpretations. This understanding is what prevented me from making a post earlier when it happened. However, after learning through research that there has been a number of small UFO sightings in the unexpected area of upstate South Carolina, I thought that perhaps mentioning my quick encounter could be worth while. Do note that I am not making a firm conclusion that it was of extraterrestrial origins, but rather that I cannot come to any definite conclusion to what I saw. We have corrected the time indicated above, to reflect a nighttime sighting. PD

Two nights later the TV news showed the same light's, formation, and speed traveling by a rocket at Cape Canaveral. No one knew what they were? Source of report indicates that the date is approximate. PD
