Middlefield, CT
I live out by Lake Beseck in Middlefield, Ct This past Saturday (10/08/16) in the early evening i came out of my home to bring some firewood inside since the nights have started to get chilly. While i was walking over to the woodpile i noticed a bright white light over the mountain in the area where the Mountain Side Resort is from a WSW direction. At that time i didn't pay any mind to it cuz i just thought it was a aircraft or maybe the planet Venus. Venus can get real bright at times and could fool someone too. So after bringing a load of wood in i went back out to get some smaller starter wood with my bucket and i noticed again that this light had gotten closer and now was over the southern area of the lake. This was no planet. At that point i stopped to take a good look at it but i couldn't tell if it had stopped or was continuing to come in my direction. This thing was bright and it looked like there was a smaller but just as bright light just under the main light. To find out if it was moving still, i a lined myself (my eyes) with a telephone cable that hanged from a street light across from my property in such a way to see if it would appear from behind the cable. Sure enough it came from behind the cable so that told me it was moving but not fast at all. Keeping my eye on this thing, i went into my car to get a pair of field glasses (maybe 10x25) not too powerful but enough to see it through the lens. All i could see was these lights that were too bright (blob), no markings or anything, couldn't make out a shape to it at all, it was just too bright. No sound at all, no vapor trail, just floating along in a ENE direction, at a angle that would have put it right over my home. As I'm looking at it coming closer, all of a sudden it just disappeares!!, like someone just hit a switch and turned the lights off. There was no clouds anywhere in the sky. The moon was up but it was futher to the south. The sky at the time was i guess what u would call in twilight. The stars were just starting to appear, dark but not real dark. Not sure of the time but it was around 1845-1900 hrs. I've seen other things in the sky at night, ISS, meteours, shooting stars etc, but nothing like this object or anything this bright. I suppose it could have been a drone that someone was flying but at night??, no sound from any props, and the distance this thing traveled from, with one hell of a big light or two. I don't think so. It just disappeared. I looked further to the ENE direction to see if it reappeared but nothing. I continued to scan the rest of the sky in all directions but still nothing more. One min it was there and the next min it just disappeared, gone!! I'm beside myself cuz i've never seen anything close to what this was. Weird, real strange, WOW!

Gardner, MA
Friday night, driving west on route 2 near the Gardner mass exits, I saw 3 red lights in the sky flying in a northeast direction probably about the same hight of a single engine sesna. was 3 red lights in the sky flying in the same direction one behind the other at the same altitude The lights were not blinking like u would see on a plane or jet. There was no other aircraft in the area at that time. It was unnatural. This happened between 9:30-10:00 pm. Planes and jets dont fly in the same flight pattern as these lights were doing. Sorry could not get a picture or video of the lights do to driving on the highway.

As my wife and I we're walking back to our car after getting dinner, it just so happens I was looking up and noticed a bright light flying from my 6 (behind) towards my 12 (in front). It was flying low, because there were planes also in the sky. The planes were normal commercial air craft; that was unmistakable they seemed to be flying at normal altitude. As this bright light flew past at an amazing speed it just disappeared... there was no sounds Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Kenosha, WI
No less than 10 seconds after having that thought, a bright circle appeared over my school, it was hovering for about 10 seconds, then it took off like a rocket sideways into the sky leaving a trail of fire behind it, and then it was just gone. No later than 10 min, I see two unmarked squad suvs pass by driving real slow at the exact speed of each other. My life hasn’t been the same since. I then began being targeted by people with abilities such as telepathy and telekinesis. I was tortured. Struggling to survive. I couldn’t breathe, I had unwanted thoughts, I had airplane jets constantly flying directly over me including helicopters. I could hear a loud pitch that was so bad I couldn’t think or act like a normal human anymore. I’ve been unemployed since then and my life began to take a turn for the worst. I tried reporting it to the US FBI and CIA, but I believe they had something to do with the pain I’ve experienced. I’ve looked up certain things that directly blame them. I’ve believed I’ve been a targeted individual for over 8 years now.

Hicksville, NY
I was driving home and saw three round balls of light flying around each other in circles, and also flickering in and out of the sky (western sky) while waiting at a traffic light. I videoed one of them by zooming up on it with my iphone. The object changed shapes while I was videoing it and then it got larger and sped up and flew away. As I continued to drive home, I saw a trail like you would see coming out of the back of a jet moving at a very fast speed but there was no plane or anything else at the beginning of it (also in the western sky). The trail stopped abruptly and a ball of light came out of it and then disappeared. Both of these events happened in the same area of the sky looking west just south of Manhattan.

Looking South East I find my "alien star" I've been observing since 2013. Normally this object has a constant white light for but this time just the flickering red and green lights were visible. The lights appear to be a pet of a single object but the object cannot be seen. The lights always hover and move around the same way a hovering bee or dragon fly would hover, very short but quick sudden movements, starting and stopping on a dime. We suspect "twinkling" stars. PD

the 1st object was flashing red, white, and green light. It was not moving at all. It was near Mt, Aggementicus. It had another to the left of it. It was red and green flashing. The 3rd 1 cam racing from the south, and parked below #2. A bunch of flashes were exchanged, and the 3rd 1 took off back to the south.. The 2nd 1 just drifted away.. The 1st 1 stayed still, just flashing red, white and green.. It was still there when I left..

Wappingers Falls, NY
Pulled into my driveway with my husband. There was an extremely bright round light low in the sky behind my neighbors house. There was no sound and it seemed not to move. Watched it for a few minutes and then went inside to an upstairs window. There was a red/white/green light that seemed to be in a straight line. Lights moved and it stayed low but then it sounded like a plane. I could see a bright white light as it moved away. There was no sound prior to seeing the colored lights. I snapped a photo.

Long Beach, CA
I went to close the back-door of the house and felt a random need to look outside as I closed the door as I've seen objects in the sky in the past at night, and sure enough, I see the lights I've seen countless times. These very bright lights consist of a constant white dot with flickering red and green lights occurring very close to the white light. The flickering is similar to seeing a single star that flickers at night. All the lights are so bright as though you're staring into an LED bulb from afar. These lights hover in one place and will slowly move up and down and side to side making figure "8" motions, sometimes moving horizontal and or vertical, and sometimes they will simply disappear as though someone turned off the switch. I have been observing these lights since 2013 and they're consistent with their behavior. I have nicknamed this phenomenon as the "alien planet or Alien Star." I have seen this happen countless times to the eastern horizon from Long Beach and Bolsa Chika State Beach, both in California. The movement of the lights are so slow and smooth they cannot be a helicopter, and the lights are so bright and unique they're not a common known drone.

Point of light, strobing red/blue/possibly orange, possibly green. Maintained position in sky for more than 1/2 hour. Probably 12-15 degrees north of due west. Approx. 15 degrees in altitude. Observed with 50 power binoculars. Just went out and looked again and it has drifted slightly to the north and a couple of degrees lower in the sky. My vantage point is in southern Altoona. The second witness states that it was directly to his west and he is located approx 3 miles north of me. Unable to capture an image.

On the morning of October 2, 2016, at just before 1:30 AM, I wandered over to the open shipping door at my workplace to grab a bit of fresh air. I was looking outside when an orange light caught my attention. The light was to the southeast of where I was standing. I assumed it was an aircraft coming in to land at the airport—this is something that I see at night all the time as my workplace is just to the east of the airport. The light was about the same size and color as the incandescent street lamps that were across the street, maybe 100 feet away. As the light approached I became very curious. When normal aircraft do their approaches you often start out seeing just the bright white 'headlight' but you eventually see the red and green lights on the wings and tail. This object did not display any other lights. The light continued heading directly towards me, flying on a northwest course. As it was going to pass directly over the building I went outside into the parking lot so I could continue observing it. The light passed directly over me at what I assumed was the normal altitude for landing aircraft. I did not see any other lights—just the orange light. I did not see the shape of an aircraft which is very strange to me as at that altitude I would have seen at least the outline of a conventional aircraft, even at night. There was no sound. The light did not change shape or luminosity. It moved at roughly the same speed as a normal aircraft. There was a light breeze at the time but I don't recall the direction. As the light passed overhead I saw what looked to me like a 'shock-wave' in front of the light. This was the only time I saw anything other than the light itself. The light continued on its northwest course, moving past the roof-line of the building. I backed up in the parking lot to try to regain sight of it but failed to do so. The total time spent observing the light was 1-2 minutes. I do not know what to think of this light. I have worked nights at this location for over 5 years and have never seen anything like this. I see normal aircraft in the sky at night all the time, several times a night. This thing did not look like a normal aircraft. I suppose it could have been a meteor but I feel it was moving too slowly for that. I feel it was moving too precisely to be a balloon, flare or firework, and the light was too consistent and bright for that, unless I drastically overestimated its altitude. I have a feeling that this is just a conventional phenomenon but it was weird enough to me and something I've certainly never seen before so I felt I should report it.

I saw a 2 red lights close together and a third not far behind. They were moving as a plane would move, about the same speed as a plane would move across the sky, but there were 3 together, and then another came, and another, and another. They seemed to rise from the horizon in a diagonal line, climbing in altitude until they disappeared. And they just kept coming from the horizon. That was what was so striking and unusual about it. There is a YouTube video from 12/25/2010 that describes EXACTLY the same event that I witnessed in 2016. There were many more red lights in the 12/25/2013 YouTube video than what I witnessed. But the event was exactly the same.

Bend, OR
Saw a flickering light that changed colors (white, red, green, blue). It stayed in the same general area, but would zig zag and dart occasionally. It also appeared to move closer and fade. When it was closest it became brilliant and the colors were more apparent.

At the park in the dark with my son we see a lot of aircraft. Our neighborhood is in the flight path of passenger jets flying into Love Field in Dallas, TX. We have a hospital a 1/4 mile from our neighborhood to the NW and helicopters fly in and land frequently. But all of a sudden we see 4 royal blue blinking lights in formation. Three were in an isosolese triangle shape and a fourth was off to the side. They appeared to be higher than one of the incoming jets initially, about twice as high. They were blinking in a perfect pattern one after another - all four lights about .5 seconds apart. They flew slowly North over our neighborhood at the same height it appeared until it was so far north that they almost disappeared entirely. After about 15 minutes they came closer and brighter again but were much higher up in they sky and were directly above us to the West. The forth light was trailing further behind and took off towards the West without the three lights in triangle formation. The remaining three continued to climb straight up until they became smaller and smaller until they disappeared altogether almost directly above where we were standing. The night was completely still - no breeze or wind at all. The lights made absolutely no sound.

Grand Blanc, MI
We were walking south when we saw a set of three orange lights travel east to west in the south skies high over the treetops. After about 20-30 seconds, they seemed to fade away. This happened twice more, one with a set of four lights and another with three lights. They appeared to fly in a triangular formation, each time fading away as they reached appogee.

Let the dog out to the yard to go to the bathroom. Was about to bring him inside when I see a light in the sky hovering south of me. There were multiple lights but it was far enough away it looked like a point of light, couldn't quite make out a shape. One white light was constantly on, the other (2 or more) lights were blinking colors. I used a star light to base the movements. It would hover for a few seconds then jerk in any direction and then hover again. Reminded me of the seemingly random movements of an insect. I took a 5 min video on my phone and stayed at least another 5 min holding my dog watching the event. The object stayed in the same area of the sky (between two close trees) from my vantage, and moving away from me southbound slightly. I am familiar with the movements of known aircraft including personal drones. At first, I thought It was a drone, but the movements were inconsistent with a drone because there was no acceleration or deceleration, ! just movement and seemingly perfect hovering. There is an airport in the area. The clouds moved in during the sighting and the unknown light was below the cloud layer. There was twice a smaller/distant light that blinked once near the object similar to a satellite. I went inside because I got cold and the light was still doing it's thing in the sky, never saw it leave the area.

I was outside at work, and there were 3 lights in the sky going North to South...started in a straight line, then separated with the center one going in front of the other two, then they went back in the line...didn't hear anything, and the lights were diamond shaped. They were a white/yellow color.
