Four Oaks, NC
Around 10:40 pm, I noticed 2 yellow lights somewhere towards Garner, Clayton and 3 cell-phone towers (Northwest from my home back porch). The pulsating light was soundless, moved around some and then I saw a second light. The 2 lights soon disappeared (moved Northwest), I recorded a video with my cell phone, but the camera couldn't record the UFO's due to darkness.

Hampshire, IL
I saw the first giant blue light that went from the ground to the sky. Looked like an atomic bomb, mushroom shaped. After that every 20 min or so there were smaller beams of lights that would go from the ground to the sky and they light would only last 2-3 seconds. My husband finally saw 2 of the 8. I have a picture of it, too.

Corona del Mar, CA
Extremely bright light in ocean near Balboa Pier. It could not of been a boat. I have lived here my whole life and never seen something so bright. Beyond that, was a fast moving red light moving across the sea near Catalina. I have seen this red light many times, on top of many other mysterious "crafts". Contact information is bogus. PD

Pueblo, CO
A red ball of light looked like it was taking off going higher, and higher but in West direction. I noticed 2 blinking lights had passed in front of the light, as it begain to fade, and disappear. Then a second light from the same area that we seen the first light. It was rising and rising till it disappeared.

5 amber lights floating low in the sky with 3 in a triangular shape and shifting positions. Lights slowly disappeared one by one, until no longer visible.

Susanville, CA
I observed three amber/reddish color lights, no visible running-lights, traveling in a southeasterly direction, at roughly equal distances apart, until they disappeared behind a cloud-bank, one-by-one. They appeared to be travelling at roughly the altitude and speed, of a small civilian aircraft. They made no discernible noise.

Royal Oak, MI
I saw a white light due south just above the horizon. It looked like a bright white star. It was motionless and it sat stationary in the sky until within about 5 seconds it faded and disappeared.

Las Vegas, NV
I was walking back to my apartment near summerlin with my boyfriend from a movie at 2:20am and I looked up at the sky ahead and saw a green light that looked like a big star. The light was hovering high in the sky and then started moving erratically from right to left. It then shot up in the sky and hovered again but this time started blinking rapidly for a couple seconds and then would stop. The light then would disappear only for a moment and started glowing green again. My boyfriend also witnessed the light and could not explain what it was. I then saw it rapidly descend below the trees and houses. I stayed outside for a few more minutes to see if anything came back but nothing happened after that.

Brodheadsville, PA
Seemed to be a ball or large object "falling" through the sky with 2 distinct white steam/ice type trails in a loose 'V' shape above it. Another ball or object appeared under it (halfway to the horizon) and seemed to be motionless. This looked shiny as if it was reflecting light. The first object continued down until reaching our horizon and its trajectory could have been an optical illusion of falling. Admittedly these were quite far away, but certainly unidentified, and unlike anything we have seen before.

They were flying faster than standard aeroplanes and did not have the typical flashing lights. (( We suspect that the report is a hoax.

Nashville, TN
Standing outside in East Nashville, and in my view appeared a green light moving quickly. I thought it could be a fireball, but it was bright green and changed direction at the last second. It only streaked for a second. It was too high up and too fast to be a firework. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

At 6:00am Wednesday, Jan 6, 2016, I observed what I thought to be a planet (perhaps Venus) it was very large and very bright in the pre-dawn (dark) sky. After gazing at it for a moment or two (it was stationary), it began to move quickly in a north-easterly direction; I stood on my deck and watched as it move directly overhead and then out of my line of sight (over my rooftop) It very large, the size of a planet. I thought I'd seen the ISS perhaps catching the pre-dawn sun to the east. I've since checked the location of the ISS on that date and time in the ISS visibility chart for my area - it was not listed as visible for my area at that time. It was not a regular communication satellite (even one visible with Iridium flare as I have seen this often) as this was 100 times larger; again, it appeared to be planet-sized to my observation. I am a 55-year old woman with a BS degree and a three-year graduate degree. I am employed full-time and of sound mind. I frequently look to the skies as many people do and I am not known for over-reacting or making any odd claims. This is the first report I have ever completed, though not my first strange experience when observing the sky.

Hereford Township, PA
The lights seem to be 1 to 2 miles away. The light began as white, but have gradually began to blink blue and green. Upon observation threw a pair of binoculars, the lights seem to be moving at a very fast rate of speed, but then hovering in place for some times. My lights to my home flickered and then my flashlight would not turn on.

Earth-bound aircraft must have strobe lights. These had none. One sped into view going in a straight line and, within one second, another followed even faster, catching up to the first one. They then diverged from one another, making several immediate and instantaneous sharp angle turns. This is something our aircraft cannot even come close to achieving. It was as if they were doing aerial maneuvers in a somewhat playful way. At one point it appeared like they might run into each other. I cannot tell how fast they were moving because I do not know how far away they were. One is a function of the other. My best educated guess would be they were one mile away which would put their speed at something like 600 mph. I base this on seeing airplanes flying at a given pace at 30,000 feet knowing they are moving at 500-600 mph. However, they could have been 20 miles away putting their speed 20 times faster, or 12000 mph. Both scenarios are equally plausible. The whole viewing lasted maybe 5-10 seconds and it was frustrating that I couldn't see it over and over again in a rewind/play/rewind fashion. It leaves more questions than answers....Could these have been drones? That thought entered my head but I've seen drone flight aerodynamic characteristics on line and there is no way they come close to what I saw....I was just lucky enough to have been looking at the right section of the sky at precisely the right moment.

Blue Hill, ME
We saw a bright light with a blue pulsing strobe that approached from the south and appeared to hover over Blue Hill Bay. After approximately 30 minutes or less, it vanished. It was a very clear night with a sky full of stars. There was absolutely no sound coming from this object.

Jackson, NJ
Went outside for cigg, looked into the night sky towards the south/southeast and could see a light that would flicker often. After about 20 seconds, light began to move south in bursts of speed for a second, then turn and head a different way, sometimes moving up and down. Only a white light in the sky, no ship or craft spotted. Watched for 2 hours. Was able to see it again the next night.

Lordstown (near; on I-80), OH
It appears there is a military site in the general area. The light appeared fairly high and plummeted to the ground extremely rapidly. When it got close to the ground, it appeared that some more minor force of dim light shot back up into the air in the same path of the original downward trajectory.

I was driving home down 58 and saw one white light flying across the sky and stop next to another one. They both stood still as I turn to look at another two objects adjacent to them. I could not take a pic while driving in the interstate therefore when I stopped to the stoplight as I got off the exit towards Obici hospital I tired to take a photo of the object but the light changed before I could do so. When I arrived home I was backing into the garage I saw three bright lights in a triangle formation the size of a football field In the sky the light were so far apart I could not take the pic and it was very hard to see them clearly. I put my phone I. The seat and looked up in the sky and omg there were 3 objects flying around under the formation of the white light formation with pulsing lights one was blue, one green and the other was red. Over to the side of this activity there were two white lights in the position of two headlights in a car. I panicked and backed into my garage, called my best friend because I had to tell someone what I was seeing. I got my baby out of the car and was very fearful to go no out side. While I was talking I took my trash canister and put out for trash pickup in the morning. As I looked back up in the sky while tiling to my friend The triangle formation had moved slightly north the different colored objects has disappeared and the two white light positioned like car lights were zig zagging like figure 8's) in the sky. There was no sound! This was a very disturbing scene. I watch the history channel and seen many documentaries about ufos and I never thought that I would ever witnessed what I have tonight!

I've been waiting to see if the black triangle would come back that I seen in December 2015. Last night, I looked out the living room window and seen a small white light in about the same spot I seen the orange lights that turned into the big black triangle. The stars were visible last night. The stars were small, white lights way up in the sky. The white light that I am talking about and seen last night was not a star. Comparing it to stars, this white light was at helicopter height not very far away from me, just over the street lights a few hundred feet from me, and it was a very bright, white light. It stayed stationary for at least a half hour. My sister seen it too from the house she was in. It was mostly stationary but it did move up and down very slightly once in a while. I kept going to the window to look at it and it stayed quite a while. I think the object chose a very good lookout spot right on the Sydenham River where it can see a wide area. I tried to take a picture of it. I'll send it in if it shows up. When I viewed the images on my camera, it wasn't there but maybe if I view the images larger on the computer, it will be visible.

Taylors, SC
We saw about 20 orangish/reddish lights hovering over E North St and we thought they looked weird. So we pulled over, and then they started moving ENE, and they all moved away. We pulled over and they were gone except one that went right over our head and then disappeared into the clouds. Very quiet and very strange! We have amended the date above. PD

Reddish bright light moving west to east overhead. The light moved slow, steady and completely silent until it just disappeared.
