Turlock, CA
March 16, 2016. At around 9:40 pm, I had stepped out to smoke on the back patio as is typical, in my peripheral vision I saw a flash of white light at around 20 degrees from overhead in a north – west direction. I continue to watch that area knowing from past experience some satellites flash from the sun, and again it flashed as expected a little ways away from the original flash, then flashed a third time and dramatically had moved much farther away to my surprise… this thing had accelerated much faster then any fast satellite I had ever seen and in fact continue to flash periodical like skipping light on water sort of speak. It moved so fast I had to open the gate and run around to the front of the house to continue watching, as I refocused my eyes this skipping white flashing light was passing an airline on its left side about 40-50 miles away. The direction of travel was just south of true west (~250-260 azimuth ). There was no fire trail behind as it flashed. I have seen skipping meteors before with fire trails. I must say, it’s the seeming acceleration that is puzzling

I was a passenger in a car with two other people driving south on Hyde Park rd just south of Fanshawe Pk Rd west. We travelled south observing a bright flashing light in the sky, higher than a tower. The flashing bright white light was stationary, and continued for over 30 minutes. It did not appear to move or emit any sound. The object did not appear to have any characteristics of an airplane or helicopter. The driver was able to capture some video, will see if he will share it.

My brother and I were driving due East on Main street. My brother, who was behind the wheel, pointed out a bright flashing light above us, which was moving from North to South. I dismissed it as a small private plane as there is an airport near by. However, when I looked at the bright flashing light, it made an abrupt 180 degrees turn. At that moment, I thought it might be a drone. However, further observation of the object made it clear that it was not a drone nor an airplane, or a helicopter. The light was extremely bright, not typical of an airplane flashing lights. It pulsated in a rapid three flashes pattern without any sound. Our destination coincided with the trajectory of the object. I kept my eyes on the object trying to figure out what it was. What we observed while driving after it was something un-explainable. The object seemed to skip by disappearing for a distance and reappearing further away, but not in a straight line. I told my brother to pull over so we can observe the object. At this point the object turned drastically to the West, again without clear logical flying pattern. I told my brother to roll down the window to see if we can hear anything. There was no sound. The object continued to fly West then it seemed to hover in the distance. It hung in the air for about 10 seconds. The light seemed to dim as if the object flew away in a very fast manner, then the object shot directly up. Few seconds later it reappeared slightly North-West. At this time we heard a helicopter in the distance and saw a helicopter light, which my brother thought appeared to be searching for something. The object quickly disappeared toward Right Wood mountains. It seemed to disappear and reappear. Best way to describe it was a short distance teleportation.

Ravena, NY
We were driving south on I-87 and were almost entering Greene County but were still in Albany County. We saw a bright light to the East most likely close to the Hudson River. It was stationary and not completely symmetrical. As we approached it going south it did not move or flash. We went past it and almost under it. A few miles up the road we entered the New Baltimore Service area, got out of the car and looked to the north. There was no sign of it.

Los Fresnos, TX
A total of 14 orange lights in the sky traveling from South to North. There was a plane traveling from North to South at the time that three of the orange lights were traveling North. The orange lights traveled North over a span of 15 minutes all in the same path. At one point two orange lights were traveling one behind the other when the orange light in back started traveling faster and passed the one in front.

Rosman, NC
I got a set of binoculars and went back out. It was an orange sphere that kept going back and forth, almost like it was scanning the land below it. You could see it pause briefly, then start the other direction again.

Bridgton, ME
I saw a bright yellow light hovering in the trees outside my bathroom window. It hovered in the same area for approximately thirty minutes. It seemed to change it's shape from a round disc to a formation of long round lights connecting to each other. It was moving around in the same area as it changed it's form. The color remained the same bright yellow light. I live alone and was afraid it was moving closer to my window and I felt that it knew that I was watching it and I noticed the windows in the back of the house were lit-up from the bright. I finally investigated and was in shock watching this for twenty minutes. I got up enough courage to get my camera and when I returned it was gone.

Paris, TX
Upon arriving home from the store, I got out of my vehicle and noticed movement in the South of the sky. It looked like an entire constellation was moving. I yelled at. Y family to look. They all saw it. We watched the cluster of lights move northwest in the sky. My husband counted 14, and my daughter counted 21. There were like two of them! It was a huge cluster of lights that spanned a great distance. After they passed over head, there were 5 airplanes in the area. Within 10 min all the airplanes were gone. My husband and I stayed out a little longer and saw two more lights closer to the western horizon. Some of the lights were flashing like strobes. Some were not.

I was standing out in the middle of Coit Park this morning, looking up at the stars, when I happened to notice a large red light (about the size of a pea at arm’s length) slowly pulsing (3 seconds to full brightness then another 3 seconds to dim completely). It was coming from the south very slowly and as it approached overhead it came to a full stop and dimmed out of sight. Then I noticed another object of the same description slowly following in its path. As soon as that object reached the position of the first one, they “greeted” each other with a simultaneous bright red flash then moved in unison slowly to the north - dimming and brightening as one unit until they were out of sight. This lasted for about five minutes.

Kotzebue, AK
I could not sleep. Walked outside for a smoke. Looked over the sound which is frozen over this time of year. There was a light moving slowly across the sound. I watched it and observed a smaller light drop out of it. Straight down the light went and blanked out before it hit the sound. The light in the sky continued for about a second more when it to blanked out. The larger light seemed to dissipate getting smaller and smaller before it was gone from view.Both lights were bright white. The larger of the to seemed to be oval in shape but it was radiating light on the outside so it was hard to tell and the smaller light that dropped look like a tear drop kind of like melting plastic and watching it drip but it was just once and white in color. We live in a hub town and planes do not fly this early.

Lincoln, NE
Large, round, green tinted, very bright light. Shot straight down over the airport and light faded before hitting the ground. Very fast, all happened within seconds. I'm skeptical, because of its proximity to the airport, but I'm not aware of any aircraft that can fall straight to the ground at such a high speed. Possible meteor?? PD

Reston, VA
Last night, at about 9:30, as I was watching TV, I noticed out my sliding glass door (which faces woods) bright amber lights coming up out of the east. I watched at least 15 to 20 of them come one right after the other. They made ZERO sound and disappeared right before my eyes, as they hit a certain point in the sky. I'm not a believer in UFO's but this freaked me out.

I was delivering newspapers in the early morning and the sky was dark then the sky turned light and a blue, flare like light went across the sky from my left to my right. It was sparkly and only lasted a few seconds until it disappeared completely. It didn't make any noises.

Graham, NC
This is not the first time we've seen the dancing yellow light. We've seen it on at least 2 occasions before, always between the hours of 1:30 and 4:00 am. The first sighting was in January 2016. This sighting will be the third in 3 months. The light has now been there for about half an hour. There's no sound and the general position has not changed.

Driving to city market, I witnessed 6 motionless glowing orange/red lights that dimmed out slowly one at a time. When I pulled into the parking lot, I immediately went outside my truck to look in the same northwest direction and they were all gone

First, only saw 1 bright orange round light, so bright I saw it through blinds. I got up and looked at it. A second bright orange light came towards the first. The first one went straight up in sky, very fast until it was unseen. The second went towards the west.
