Fall River Mills, CA
Facing northeast and caught a glimpse of a flash of light to the west. A couple minutes later i caught a glimpse of another flash of light in the south. The night was clear with no clouds that could produce lightning. I didn't see any object or craft.

October 10, 2015 At 11:30 pm, Facing due west, at 1:00 position, location of Maryland USA there were 8 or 9 white bursts, 15 to 20 seconds apart within a polygon of stars with a pattern of north to south, to north, to middle, to west sides within the polygon. The night sky was clear, weather 52 degrees, no wind, no planes or man made objects in the sky. The white light was larger than any star in the sky and had a brilliance I can only report as a fusion burst. The light would flash, then reappear in a different location within the star cluster. These were not metors, or falling starts.

A few moments later, looking at the same portion of the sky, I saw what looked like a short meteor trail at a very shallow angle. Then that light streak went out and a second later I saw another bright flash in the area where the meteor streak had ended. I mentioned this to my friend and she looked in the same section of the sky and said she saw a bright flash followed by another bright flash and detected a very faint streak going towards the area of the flash. I saw these flashes too, but did not detect the faint streak. I then called my husband out and he watched for a few minutes. He observed a light flashing on and off, very slowly, heading ESE towards the west. During this time there was no aircraft noise. The lights my friend and I saw did not travel in a straight line, rather they appeared then disappeared in a small area of the sky. There seemed to be several objects--perhaps 3 or 4. The lights were unusual. I checked several on-line satellite tracking sites and could not find any known craft over my area at this time. What we observed was not the navigation lights of a plane; I don't believe it was flares or sky lanterns. But it's hard to determine size or height in the night sky, so it could have been anything.

Lights in the sky that look like lightning, but isn't - flash in a uniform pattern in 3 different places in the sky as if they're communicating!!!!! Each night it is the same pattern, not only in sequence, but shape. Takes up a large swatch of the sky. Definitely intelligent & definitely not manmade. Just south of NASA out over the ocean but really not anywhere near NASA. There was a plane going by don't think it had anything to do with it. There is also an airport on Merritt Island but don't think it's related either. There is NO SOUND coming from the "lightning." This goes on for hours at a time, several nights for a week but not every night, but always at night. See photos for how similar each flash is…

Jonesboro, IL
Was sitting outside when in the south sky I saw a bright light move from east to west. It was like an extremely slow moving meteor. Only in was right above the horizon and went across the sky, unlike any meteorite I've ever seen. It was almost like the light skipped. It wasnt a streak where the light is solid but, rather like a dash of light. Quite a bit more aircraft in the sky afterwards than normal.

A star (no brighter than any other star) faded into nothing. 20 seconds later, in the same spot it flashed brighter than the North Star. It was a slow flash. About a minute later, slightly to the right, it flashed again. It did this 2 more times. It was not an airplane, not a satellite, not anything I can figure out.

I was in my back yard on the date and time specified to have a smoke. I caught something bright in the corner of my eye very high in the sky. As I was looking at it, it started to fade. There were a few light clouds in the area but sky was basically clear. I did however thought it was star that got covered by the few clouds. I kept watching anyway and there was a really bright flash and I could actually see an object fly of to east at a high rate of speed. It looked sort of oval with faint lights outlining only half of each oval. Sorry not good at explaining. It made a curve at first and the flew straight until I lost site of it. I knew then this was not a star. But I do think there was more than one because after that one left there was 2 more flashes of light in the same spot I saw the first. But I could not make out if there was any movement after those flashes. This is the first time I have ever reported anything like this. But I thought maybe there migh! t be a logical explanation.

Ft. Myers, FL
Looking to the western sky about 90 degrees up, we were watching an object pulsating red,gree,white and other colors in a pattern. When looking at it through binoculars we could see the colors coming from the sides. To the left of us it appeared a smaller object was doing the same, in between 2 stars. I am from NY and I don't get to see the night sky much so not sure what it is. These were the only 2 objects doing this, the stars were twinkling but not pulsating colors. Any ideas? It was there the previous night and it is still there as I type. A star?

I saw a small flash of white light in my peripheral. I looked up saw a tiny faint white light slowly moving directly east. Similar to watching a satellite straying across the sky. Object flashed a brilliant white light 3 more times, each about 5 seconds in between. Note a small/faint meteorite streaked across same vicinity of object moving south during event. Object became to faint to see, so I used the Sky Guide app on my phone to see if it was a satellite, to which I couldn't find any. Position of the object was in between Andromeda galaxy and a star named Mirach.

Bullhead City, AZ
On September 29th, around 7:50 p.m., I walked down our steps and looked up to the sky, as I am an avid sky watcher. I quickly noticed what appeared to be a very bright star at 140 degrees S.E. and 60 degrees off the horizon. I know a bright star should not be in this location. I watched for about 30 seconds, and it dimmed by about 75% and started moving slowly north. After 10 minutes the object was about 80 degrees west and 70 degrees off the horizon. I ran inside to get my binoculars and when I got back outside it took me about 5 minutes to find the object again as it had dimmed again to a point barely visible to the naked eye. The object was about 40 degrees N.E. and still 70 degrees off the horizon. At that moment, a bright flash came from the object. It was as if a large camera flashed. I followed the object with my binoculars as it moved E.N.E. Slowly, and every minute or so, the object flashed brightly. In all, I saw eight flashes as the object moved E.N.E. and out of my sight. The sighting lasted about 30 minutes. I wrote the details of this sighting down that evening, as well as the compass readings. My binoculars are 10x50 power and all compass readings are from magnetic north.

Greenwood, IN
21:45 9/27 While watching the lunar eclipse through my binoculars I noticed 2 red blinking flights move in a strait line downward. Always maintaining same distance apart. The blinking red lights moved downward behind my neighbors house. I moved position and saw the same lights change direction approx 45 degrees upward always maintaining same distance which led me believe it must be a craft. It then smoothly moved strait upward and out of sight. The moon was 90% eclipsed at that point.

Yellville, AR
On September 27, 2015, My friend and I were approximately 12 miles south of Yellville, Arkansas off Hwy 14, near the Buffalo River. This was the night of the blood moon. As we were outside watching the lunar eclipse, my friend was looking up at the stars. He got my attention and told me to look at what he was seeing. I looked over to see what he was talking about and I notice a flash in the sky. If say 90 degree is straight up, then the flash out be about say 80 degree point sitting stationary in the sky. This flash seems to be coming from a long distance. So as we are watching, the flash would happen approximately 30 or so seconds. The flash would either be a slow fade in, then slow fade out or would be a quick, high intensity flash. This seemed to be random with no pattern. Continued in one spot for about 15 minutes and then the flash would be in another spot, and then another spot, until it was completely gone. I am aware what a high altitude j! et and a satellite crossing the sky looks like. Nothing to my knowledge would stay stationary for this period of time. The next morning we talked about it to make sure we had both seen the same thing

They looked as if they were controlled explosions;however there was no rythem or pattern; except it has been happening for the past couple of nights between 2200 hrs through 0100hrs. I was in the Air Force for 10 years and I thought 'star wars program,' but I do not know what or who could cause those type of flashes.

I'm a pilot and was flying from Denver to Atlanta on September 17, 2015. It was around 22:30, when I saw a very bright light illuminate below or altitude. It seemed to be about 50 miles east of our position. The light was extremely bright and started off as a single point of light. After a few seconds the light extended linearly very rapidly and disappeared. To me it appeared very low if not on the ground. Similar to an approach lighting system's sequencing flashers but much brighter and much larger. I mentioned it to the other pilot, but he missed it. Shortly after that it happened again, and this time we both saw it. Neither of us had an explanation for what we saw that night. The light was very bright like a large fire ball which turned into a large fire trail maybe the length of a commercial airport runway. It expanded that distance instantaneously.

Mesquite, NV
Just about sunset, very loud sounded like Jets over the house. They went over I listened it took a few seconds still listening. Then it was quiet for a few minutes then they came back. I went out in the back yard so I could quickly see the sky. I figured it was probably too late to see anything, I was only hearing it at a distance now and couldn't see anything. Then they came back just enough dark and really high enough that all I could see was bright lights 2 with red flashes. I was staring trying to figure out what I was looking at when I realized they weren't really moving anymore, because I was actually just staring at them above the neighbors house now but very high. It lasted for at least a few minutes then they left. I looked around trying to figure out why no one else was out looking too* We have a lot of windows maybe that was why I could hear it so loud, don't know. I was thinking they flew out of the West to toward the east but when I heard it again had circled back and when it left it was to the east.
