I just got off work and i started heading to the gym, i am about fifteen minutes away when i look up because i was checking to see if the street light was going to change when i see these 4 lights moving along the sky, so i look for other lights around them because maybe it was few helicopters or something, when i really started to look at these lights traveling together in this kind of square formation, i could tell they were not helicopters, i really wanted to get it on video so i pulled over and started filming i got maybe 3 second of the light of the bottom right end of the square, as they moved along the sky, each corner, right and left both seem to kind of move into one another and then it was just two lights moving and fading away,as they moved i look behind and 4 more are coming over the building to my right, they kind of just went in a straight line in the same direction as they previous 4 as they faded away 4 more from the same direction foll! owed suit. i called my friend to tell him what i was witness, when another person was walking through the parking lot, looking up, i asked if she was seeing this. To make sure i wasn't going crazy, she said yes and we stood and watched. One of the most amazing things i have ever seen.

It changed from re to blue and seemed to change altitude. When I looked back to the first one it was doing the same. We watched a while then left.

Merritt Island, FL
I pulled over into Veterans Park behind the Merritt Square Mall on Merritt Island to take a look at the lights. I got out of the car and I thought I heard helicopters off in the distance. Patrick AFB is South of our location so I thought that it was something going on at the base. I got back in the car and turned around and stopped and opened my wife’s window to let her hear what I thought where helicopters. She said that she couldn’t hear anything. I got out of the car to listen and look at the lights and I could not hear any noise. We looked again and saw a lot more of the light moving in the same line, North East to South West. I got out of the car and looked and listened and could not hear anything. I got my phone and used the camera and started taking a movie of the lights. We would watch a group of 10 to 15 lights go by when another line of lights would appear. It looked like the lights would disappear when they got on passed us in the same place. This lasted around 20 minutes. Finally the lights stopped and we went on our way. It looked like they were coming from Cape Canaveral which was north of us and I estimated the lights where about 1000 to 2000 feet high. Patrick AFB does not have that many aircraft assigned to the base so I don’t believe they came from the base. Most of the time when I am out at the base I might see a couple of helicopters and two to three C-130s. I don’t know what the lights where. Thought they might be lanterns but they seemed to high to have come from the city of Cape Canaveral. I really don’t know what they were.

Le 5 mars 2016 vers 23h un témoin est intrigué par un point lumineux qui semble stationnaire dans le ciel. Il observe le phénomène à travers une longue vue et distingue des faisceaux bleu, violet et blanc. Son épouse présente également pense à une étoile ou une planète scintillante. Le témoin signale le point dans un azimuth de 236° (mais mesuré indirectement sur Geoportail) et une élévation inférieure à 15°. Enfin l'épouse du témoin considère avoir vu comme une étoile, mais avec une couleur violette. Or entre 23H et 23H30, Sirius évolue entre l'azimut 215°(SSO) à une élévation de 15° et l'azimut 225° (SO) à une élévation de 13° (voir en pièce jointe carte du ciel avec Stellarium). Le PAN ne peut donc être que Sirius, sinon le témoin aurait signalé également Sirius (ou une étoile très visible en ciel dégagé, surtout quand on regarde à longue vue!) à proximité immédiate du PAN. Le témoin principal a vu Sirius et a été trompé, ce qui est classique, par les lueurs et couleurs changeantes de Sirius à basse élévation, et ce peut être plus encore du fait d'une observation au travers d'une vitre. En conséquence le GEIPAN classe le cas en A : observation de Sirius [GEIPAN classification A — Sirius]

Dallas, TX
I live on Parkhurst Drive near its intersection with Northcliff Drive in northeast Dallas, Texas. I was outside in my back yard at 10:15 pm CST, on Saturday March 5, 2016. To my southeast I saw a moving bright red light that was flying level at about 3,000-ft altitude and at about 1-mile horizontal distance from me. It was flying northeast, from my right to my left, along a path roughly estimated to follow Garland Road from Casa Linda Plaza to Whiterock Marketplace Shopping Center, where it then turned northward toward Lochwood Park (Google Map). At first, I thought it was a small airplane in straight level flight without much variation. Its speed was about 200-mph, too fast to be a helicopter. I looked for any other lights, specifically white strobes and green navigation lights, but it only had a steady intense red. Since it is illegal to fly below 10,000-feet without white lights, I quickly inferred that it was not an airplane or other human construct. No craft silhouette was visible because of the steady bright red light. Then, I purposely listened intently for an airplane sound, but there was only dead silence. The craft then swung around from my southeast to my northeast, apparently making a 45-degree left turn, and headed northwest, keeping 1-mile distance from me. When it was to my northeast, I lost sight of it because of trees. I watched it travel about 1.6-miles total distance and my sighting lasted about 30-seconds. I am 76-years of age, take walks every night, and have vast experience viewing aircraft in the night sky. I have witnessed several other anomalous objects over Dallas within the past three years, but none before 2013. My conclusion is that this particular craft was a machine that is NOT man-made, because – 1. The lighting was illegal, 2. There was no sound at all, 3. The large scale ruled out an RC drone, 4. The speed indicated a powerful craft, 5. The time was late for small airplane operations, 6. The flight path was illogical.

Dallas, TX
My house is on Parkhurst Drive near its intersection with Northcliff Drive in northeast Dallas, Texas. I was outside in my back yard at 10:15 pm CST, on Saturday March 5, 2016. Most trees were still bare of leaves, affording a good view of the sky. To my southeast from behind the neighborhood housing, a moving single bright red light suddenly appeared at about 30-degrees elevation. It was flying level at about 3,000-ft altitude and at about 1-mile horizontal distance from me. It was traveling northeast, from my right to my left, along a path roughly estimated to follow Garland Road from Casa Linda Plaza to Whiterock Marketplace Shopping Center (Home Depot), where it then turned northward toward Lochwood Park. At first, I thought it was a small airplane in straight level flight without much variation. Its speed was about 200-mph, too fast to be a helicopter. I looked for any other lights, specifically white strobes and green navigation lights, but it only had! a steady intense red, visible from its left or port side toward me, proper for navigation. However, since it is illegal to fly below 10,000-feet without white lights, I quickly inferred that it was not an airplane or other human construct. No craft silhouette was visible because of the steady bright red light. I purposely listened intently for an airplane sound, but there was only dead silence. The craft then swung around from my southeast to my northeast, apparently making a 45-degree left turn, and headed along my northwest, keeping about 1-mile distance from me. When it was approaching my north, I lost sight of it because of trees. I watched it travel about 1.6-miles total distance and my sighting lasted about 30-seconds. It was somewhat low key. I have witnessed several anomalous objects over Dallas within the past three years, but had not paid attention to any before 2013. The different mindset that was forced upon me by my extremely vivid 2014 sighting has made me recognize that it is equally as important to identify UFOs as to discount them, and to not take a perpetually skeptical position. It is a much greater crime to see a flying saucer and dismiss it as “swamp gas” than to see swamp gas and label it as a “flying saucer.” When you see a light in the sky that does not behave like any normal object, it probably is not a normal object. Therefore, my conclusion is that this particular craft was a machine that is NOT man-made, because – 1. The lighting was illegal by FAA standards, 2. There was absolutely no sound at all, 3. The speed indicated a powered craft, 4. The large scale ruled out an RC toy, 5. The clock was late for normal small private airplane operations, 6. The flight path curved around my position and! was not straight, indicating some ulterior behavior, which made no sense for human piloting over northeast Dallas late at 10:15-pm.

That's when I saw a small, white ball of light go across the sky the disappear. I guess the people in front of me saw it too because they had pulled over. Later in the evening, I made a comment about it on social media and a friend of mine in the area reported that she and her family saw the same thing, too.

Weather was a mix of bright clear skies and intermittent clouds. Sitting out with family, I had been looking at the stars. There was a blinking light very high up that caught my eye. I thought it was an airplane, but watched for a moment to see that it was two separate lights side by side. They did not travel North, South East or West, only up. One light would blink, the other would blink, then they both moved upward –what appeared to be a short distance - to another position. It seemed that one of them began its move slightly before the other. They stopped, went through the same routine, one blinked, the other blinked then both moved farther away up into the sky. This happened one more time, one blinked the other blinked then moved upward. At this moment, they both seemed to blink off as they moved up farther into the sky and I could no longer see them. When I saw them blink the first time, I motioned to my sister to look. She caught a quick glimpse of the last movement they made upward, then out of sight. These objects were very high up, presumably out of the atmosphere. From where I was standing on Maluniu Av, I was looking almost straight up, slightly toward Kalaheo High School area.

Seminole, FL
Well I was out front of my aunt's house, it's on lake Seminole nere park blvd, I was giving him a hug and over his shoulder through a tree I saw two bright rather large red, not just flat red but in the middle was orange, lights that were heading East. They where not flying at a steady speed they were whimsical almost in a manner and way to close to be safe if they were some other type of known vehicle. As I saw them they where switching from flying stacked to single file, and steadying there flight pattern. There light was all you could see, not like on a craft just light, and they where fading in and out a bit. I told my boyfriend to look and my uncle was outside getting something out of his car so he looked too. After seeing them, he then went inside and out the back with my aunt, which is on the lake, because that was the way the UFOs were heading. There is a video from my boyfriend's cell phone that cuts off when we are about to lose sight of them and r! un to the other side of the building. When I get to the lake side, right as I round the corner, the UFO following the first slowly and unfluently dims and fades away. Shortly afterwards the other one does the same, but this one seemed to get brighter right before it fades. So me my aunt, uncle, and boyfriend are standing there going what the hell was that. Shortly after they faded, I notice that there was air traffic around and looking at all the different airplanes at different distances with their lights it reassured me that this was definitely not anything normal.

Let dog out and saw large number of reddish lights moving east to west. They moved slowly over a large park up a hill from my house. There was no discernible sound. I called my husband out and he counted a total of 23 lights in the sky. Most were in 2 main groups. A couple followed by themselves. The lights moved behind a tree and as I moved to continue to watch the lights they were gone. Single lights contined to appear from what seemed like one place in the sky. The single lights were moving in a line across the sky. They seemed to reach some point and were gone. There would be a short break where I could see no lights. Then a light would appear and 2 or 3 more would follow in a line. Then there would be a short break again and it would start again. My husband stopped watching when the large groups were gone. I contined to watch and walk around for 15 minutes or so. When I came in the single lights continued. We were going to go up to the park but t! he lights were gone when I checked 15 minutes later. We are near Ft. Drum, so could be something military. However, no sound so not helicopters. Seems like an awful lot of drones. I don't know if drones make noise. No reports in the media of the lights. My husband and I are both professionals. Never have seen anything like this before. I took pictures of the lights -- don't show much, except 10 lights in the sky.

Here we go again... On March 3, 2016, while walking my dog after 11:30pm, I turned to the east and noticed something odd in the sky. It was very cloudy and I observed two white oval shaped dim lights at a great distance,..1-2 miles. (?) They both looked lower then the cloud ceiling. Maybe even less than a thousand feet. Thought to dismiss them as lower smaller white clouds passing by Yet after about five minutes noticed they were still there in the same area of the sky eastwards. They appeared white colored and oval in shape sitting stationary They were not that bright yet one could just make out the outline . So again, looking at them now decided to pull out my camera take some shots, after again looking at them on and off for about five minutes. I just walked on to go on home as they were still there. Not sure of the source Please note these are not light flares ** Attached are three pictures [11:40pm ] that I took portraying what it was that I saw. This was my first sighting for me in 2016 Walking the dog every night we sometimes see things moving about along with appearance that is odd at night to question *

At one point the side by side, triangle shaped lights separated, changed from red to white and moved side to side like nothing I've ever seen, and I have always been a late night stargazer! Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

What makes me think about and even report this is that me and my father were working earlier during the day maybe around 11:00 and 4 us fighter jets came extremely low in formation over my house and that is the first time it has ever happened. They were going almost in the exact direction that I saw the light originate from. Never posted before but this was real. I know what it was I have seen many comets and shooting stars this was no where even close to that.

I was standing out back looking over harrisburg city, I noticed to orange lights hovering around downtown Harrisburg. They looked rather different, from the planes I am use to seeing. One looked like it flew directly into the river, a few minutes later the other one followed. They were just solid orange light's, Nothen blinked or changed through the duration of the sighting.

Scottsdale/Northwest Mesa, AZ
I was driving south on 101 Scottsdale toward Chandler. Just before the Raintree exit, 5 light all in a row, travel from west of Scottsdale towards the east over the freeway (toward Fountain Hills). They are evenly spaced without blinking lights, just white/pale yellow in color. The lights move in a unified direction headed south very slowly, over Talking Stick resort area. At moments they are still as if they are "hovering" in the sky. I could see a helicopter around the lights and could tell the difference. The helicopter had blinking red and blue lights were as the other lights did not. The lights move south toward North Mesa, where I called a friend and he was at Gilbert Road and University. He stated he could see lights hovering above him, but since he was looking up, he only saw 3 not 5. He also stated that there wasn't any blinking lights like a helicopter.

Back in January or February you told George Noory on Coast about the sighting of the two orange lights with one white light in the middle that took off from the ground out by Wellton, AZ. I saw the same thing two orange lights with one white light in the middle along with the white Parker lights while I was camping east of town off of Shea Road. But instead of taking off from the ground these lights were up in the sky and to the left of the common white lights. I asked around but no one in town knows what those lights are and I looked on the internet but only found one article. One lady that works at the Indian gas station told me that she has seen them since she was a little girl and she is 21 now.

I was looking south, and noticed what I thought was a bright star or planet in my peripheral vision above a large tree. Turning to look south-southwest, I noticed that the light was not one but two lights, and they were traveling parallel to the horizon, in an apparent western direction. The lights were bright white, similar in intensity to an aircraft landing light at a distance, but no sound was noted. I called to my wife, who was standing inside the house, and turned back just in time to see the lights blink out, one by one. My wife did not see them.

Harbor Beach, MI
I walked off my porch looked South and observed a yellow/white light the size of Venus, about 15 degrees above horizon. Being an amateur astronomer, I knew there should be no yellow lights near that position in the night sky. I was about to go get my binoculars, when the light moved due West about two miles in an instant. I observed it as a bar of white light as it moved. It then sat motionless for about 20 seconds. Then it went straight up and out of sight in an instant. Displaying the same bar of light that it had during its horizontal movement. I then went and got my binoculars and observed nothing in the position I last saw the light. Made no noise at all. Sky was moonless and winds calm about 32 degrees F. I am a member of MUFON. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be a serious-minded person. We suspect that he is an excellent observer, and witness. PD

Port Hope (Canada), ON · Canada
Strange glowing lights, approximately 4, moving in circular motion through the clouds lighting up behind the clouds. White glowing from behind clouds and moving very fast in all directions. These glowing lights where fairly big in the sky and where in tight formation criss-crossing at times.
