At 6:30 pm (it was dark)I heard a jet flying relatively low. As I looked up at it, maybe two thousand feet up, I also saw a white solid light maybe 1000 feet in front of the jet. The jet was flashing with all the normal red and green lights and was pretty loud because of the low altitude. The white solid light in front never flashed, no noise and headed straight north with the jet maintaining the same distance behind the light fully until both were out of sight. I could see both objects for about four minutes, starting my visual over the region of Meridian Street near Park Ave. Flying from south to north, having visual contact well north of the city of San Jacinto, probably over the city of Banning when I lost sight of the objects.

At around 5am a bright orange object emitted a smaller object seeming to track the area. I could tell it was not a star because it was moving. It seemed to prefer a higher area in the sky--it would come down and then go back up. It could change colors from orange to white.

Outside smoking and checking out the sky, like I do every night. Been a while since I've seen anything worth reporting. I live a 20 minute drive from a major airport, so I'm constantly seeing commercial and personal aircraft coming and going all over the place. This thing was not one of those things. There was no sound. I only noticed it because I was looking up at the few stars I could see through the lite cloud cover. First saw it right above me, and it had to have been at commercial aircraft level, so it was quite a ways away. At first I just thought it was a commercial flight that had just taken off, but the lights weren't anything I'd seen before. Maybe it's something new, I don't know. But instead of the usual flood-lights in from and small blinking white and read lights, I saw one long bar of white light pulsing at a steady, moderate, constant rate that did not change, accompanied by a pulsating round red light to the left of the white bar. I've never seen a white pulsating bar on any aircraft in my life. So, I kept watching, wondering what it might be, and as it moved away, I noticed it appeared to sort of wobble left to right as it went, but it's extremely hard to tell when it's so dark out. That could very well have just been my eyes not having any focal points. I've seen stars appear to jump and wobble, so I can't say it was wobbling for sure. Other than that, it was on a fairly straight path North to South. Right from the direction of the airport (North.) As I watched it, that's when I realized I heard no sound. There's no way I would have missed sound from any commercial or private aircraft. Just doesn't happen. Any time I see a plane, I know the sound will hit after the usual delay. Or I hear the plane and know where to find it by the sound. This thing... no sound at all... none. Not normal. And it was moving at a pretty slow pace compared to major aircraft leaving the airport. About the speed of a small aircraft. Unfortunately, in the dark, I couldn't tell how high it was, or what its size might be. Another I'll mention because it was very odd, although it may not be related at all... earlier in the day I heard a helicopter outside hanging around for a while... at least 3-5 minutes. I've lived here for a year and half and in this city for nearly a decade now, and I've never seen or heard any helicopter do that. Every helicopter I've ever seen was headed somewhere and never hung around. Maybe not be related, and it was at least a couple hours before I saw these lights, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

Gretna, NE
As 2 of my neighbors and myself were out with our children trick-or-treating at about 7:30p.m., I happened to glance up at the sky and notice a light flying towards us. At first I didn’t think much about it, but as it drew closer I became more interested. It appeared to be at an elevation of about 1,000 ft, a constant blue light and made no sound. It traveled from the Southwest to the Northeast in a straight line at what I estimate at about 150mph until it disappeared from sight. As we were waiting for our kids to go to the next house, we were talking and wondering if it was or was not a drone discussing elevation, size, speed, and color when we all saw a second object appear, this time green in color. It followed the exact same flight path and seemed to be at the same elevation and be of the same size of the previous object. Just as the second object disappeared from sight we all turned to see a third blue object appear just where the first 2 had appeared. It also followed the same flight path as the previous 2 objects. Again as we lost sight of the third object, a fourth one appeared. This fourth object was also blue and traveled the same flight path at the same speed as the previous 3 but was flying at a higher elevation. After the fourth object left the area and we were teasing each other about getting our tin foil hats out, we watched a large airplane flying from the East to the West gaining altitude and we all noticed the differences between the objects and the plane itself. We aren’t sure what we saw but we know that it was not an airplane and chances are that they aren’t commercially available drones. Also, I am a military aircraft mechanic and am very familiar with aircraft flight patterns, size, shape, styles, etc..

Two stationary bluish white lights appearing as rapidly brightening stars (much brighter than Venus) were noticed at approx 40 degrees elevation while setting up my telescope. One object was 2-3x brighter than the other. These lights were separated by about a full moon's diameter( 0.5 degrees) and gradually brightened and then faded from visibility. Definitely not a satellite or Iridium flare. I am an avid skywatcher and have never seen anything like this. The "stars" were rock steady in the sky. I was unable to snap a photo before the objects faded away. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I was heading into the woods around 6:00 am on October 29, 2016. I noticed a reddish orange light in the northern sky about 20 to 25 degrees above the horizon. I watched it for about 5 minutes and it did not appear to be moving. It suddenly disappeared and I never saw it again. It was clear that morning with no clouds in any direction that I could see.

1 very bright, large flashing light colors or red, blue, green white and moving side to side and diangle. This light that was in the sky was out of place with the current star placement, was not there the previous night, Ive seen this same light ufo on other videos and placed about the same angle, 30 degress up.

My crew and i work night shift in the port of Los Angeles. Two times this month, between 10pm and 12am, we have seen "blue shooting stars" moving north to south one night, and west to east a week later. These "shooting stars"are completely stopping mid air then quickly shooting again to another dead stop and so on until out of sight. We watched these "blue stars" stop 6-7 times in a span of one minute, until out of sight. Very high altitude and absolutely silent with an amazing blue light. We see satellites, jets, planes etc. and these are none of those. Has anyone seen these before? Please help with other witness reports of similar as my crew and i can not stop talking and wondering about what it is we are witnessing.

I saw 9 lights in a straight line then the lights went out one at a time then they moved to a different spot and the lights came back on. These lights were like a greenish color, but then when I went to take a picture, they were gone in a flash. We have corrected the time of the sighting, which believe was 6:40 p.m. (MDT). PD

I am a 34 year-old doctor of clinical psychology. I was walking my two little dogs. It was after 11pm but before midnight. I saw a light, much bigger than a star, but much smaller than the moon, zooming across the sky. It went east to west, or from north-east to south-west, in a straight line and disappeared into the clouds. The whole evet was south east to my location. It moved so fast that it crossed about 1/3 of the sky in about 1 second. It was so fast that I could not notice details about the form of the light. I was under the impression it was not a perfect circle, but it was really hard to tell. I would also say it stayed the same size as it zoomed across the sky, but again, I could not be 100% sure. The light’s color was white, just like the moon. I continued looking up to the sky for several more minutes but saw nothing else unusual. There were airplanes going by, slow and steady, with much smaller, blinking lights, and looking nothing at all like the other light I saw.

Bright pins of light were just hanging in the sky. They sort of looked like stars. I think there were helicopters circling it. They appeared stationary and then they would suddenly zip to the side and fade. (I feel insane describing it this way but I'm not the only one who saw this.)

Franklin, WI
Woke up at about 1:00 am and saw a bright light to the south of my home. The light was as bright as an aircraft landing light however this light remained stationary in the sky and flashed rapidly (several times per second) shifting colors (white, red blue/green). It appeared to be several miles away from my house and probably 1000-2000 feet above the ground. The flashing lights remained in its location for 2+ hours. From this position I would estimate the light to be directly above the I-94 interchange on the north end of Racine/Caledonia WI.

Series of red lights, flying towards the ocean at a high speed. They then stop and hover for a few seconds. start to fly backwards slowly, then in a circle, then hover and the ascend, stop and fly back behind a tree that blocks my vision. After a few seconds, the lights appear again. Fly forward a little, stop and hover, fly around and then fly behind the tree that blocks my vision. No sound and movement too quick to be a helicopter. Definitely not a plane.

Dickerson, MD
I was driving to work in the early morning and it was still dark. On 85 in between Frederick and Dickerson, MD. To the left is Sugarloaf Mountain. I happened to notice what looked to be a really bright star right above the mountain. I thought to myself,m "Wow, how have I never noticed that star before?" As I drove for the next couple of minutes I was glancing back and forth between the bright light and the road. I was trying to see if I could make out any movements or blinking lights to indicate that it was just a plane or a helicopter. There was none. The last time I glanced away at the road and looked back, it was just gone.

Two weeks ago, my boyfriend and i noticed what we at first thought was an intensely bright star just above the tree-line in the southwest sky. It appeared to be moving extremely slow. It appears every night just as the sky behind to darken, and disappears after 15 minutes or so. It always appears around the same time and always in the exact same position in the sky, and always disappears before long. Some nights, it is stationary. Other nights, it very slowly drifts one direction or another. No blinking or colors, although my boyfriend swore it had a green tail on one night. I didn't see it that night, though.
