I was walking upstairs when i saw a ridiculously bright star. The more I looked the more i realized there is no way that could be a star. It seemed like it was twinkling idk how to describe it but it was hard to focus on the object with my eyes. I yelled for my sister to come look. I had her watch it as i went to grab the telescope to get a better look and by the time i got back to her she said it disappeared and we couldn't relocate it.

In June this year, I had reported a a very bright amber object over the North of our city. 5 days ago days ago, I saw a similar bright amber object over the South West. It was much farther away then last time, but this time I saw it leave. It left a peculiar impression. I couldn't tell if it turned and faded away, or it just went out.

St. Augustine, FL
Driving on beach A1A in St. Augustine, Florida, going west - approaching main A1A. The sun had set and it was already getting dark. From about halfway up in the Southwest sky a very bright light appeared and proceeded to fall rather arched toward direct west (if I was facing 12 o'clock this appeared in the 11 o'clock position and fell downward toward the 12 o'clock position). I thought it was a shooting star but it remained just as bright as it fell, no tail, no fireball appearance - just a very large and very bright yellowish white color - moving very fast. Lost sight of it at the tree line but did not see an explosion or any indication it hit the ground.

Parker, AZ
In Arizona desert. No persons within miles. Awoke to bright object like reflecting sun rays seemingly stationary resting on a rock shelf several hundred feet away. Looked about 1 foot in size then began to move along ground. Then began to rise vertically. As it did it became larger and had shades of green. Into flight about 1 mile away, then disappeared. Saw it later on the ground moving around in different locations.

The other 2 were flying at the same height as the bottom two on he trianle just south. I saw them for almost 5 minutes, went inside for about 30 seconds and they were gone when I came back out.

Light, comparable to a commercial jets headlights when they are flying towards you to the northwest of my location, 10-15 degrees above the horizon. Stood still for about 1 minute, then began heading right, stopped, went up and did a circle vertical to the ground. Went right about 15 degrees, instantly went back to the left and disappeared, speed was about twice as fast as you would see a jet flying over at high altitude, kept same light brightness, looked at it through a rifle scope and could only see a light, not sure about distance but I was in an 80 acre field in the rural country and seemed to be very far off.

One light came and disappeared about three times in a line directional pattern, then came back on really faint, and shot out at a 90 degree angle till it disappeared. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Look like a star but was brighter that's what caught my eye had a red flicker. Looked like it was hovering around and was slowly drifting around multiple planes flew by it and it would move slightly away from the plane. You could tell this thing was really fast it made the planes look real slow.

I observed an object from my window at around 3am on Monday, Dec. 7th, 2015. There were bright lights that glowed in and out and the object stayed there for a good hour and moved around. I watched it for a while. Then I came back and it had vanished. Possible sighting of a planet in the E sky? PD

Ottawa (Canada), ON · Canada
Was driving northbound on Highway 416 (near Kemptville, ON) and noticed 3 red lights high up in the sky looking north towards Ottawa. The three lights were red and flying in a pattern and looked to be moving independently of one another (as in not fixed to one body). Lights were in a triangular pattern. Lights would stay solid red (and only red), and then blink out and back in, but not in a regular pattern. Perhaps solid for 5 seconds, then a blink out, and back on fast. All three lights would not blink out at the same time, they would alternate irregularly. Thought it was flares at first, but then realized the lights were tracking north. Likely not a plane as there were three in formation and did not have a plane lighting blink pattern. Also not the radio towers off along the highway, I could see the towers quite well, this was was higher up in the sky. Lights were not super bright, but did move quickly north towards Ottawa. Seen by my partner (briefly) as well. Possibly a nighttime sighting? However, source of report elects to remain totally anonymous, and provides no contact information, so we are unable to confirm the time of the event. PD

One of us could also notice that one of the lights had in the lower part a few red dots on what seemed like supporting legs or even tentacles.

My wife and I watched this spot of light make rapid but short excursions at about 35 degrees above the horizon in the south east probably 120 degrees. The intensity and location is like Venus but the time is wrong. The light changes position erratically and fast too fast for an airplane. Moves right left up and down always returning to roughly the same location.

Charles City, IA
Looked out large window, moving from south to north, a blue ball of light was seen flying a a rate of about 80mph through the sky. About 1000 feet off the ground, moving towards the ground. The next day was in a bean field waiting for deer to be shot in the approximate area object was seen and a Blackhawk helicopter moving in a slow rate of speed with men looking towards the ground flew over, no markings what so ever.

I sent my nephew to get my laptop from my car and when he came back in he said, " oh by the way, what are those lights out there?" I asked what light and he said, they've been there for like 10 minutes. I rushed to my dad's window and saw about 5 extremely bright lights, staying still in the sky. I called my mom into the room and she said they were aiplanes, but after observing them for about 5 minutes and still no movement just bright lights we figured they couldn't possibly be airplanes. Suddenly, a few more lights started flickering in the background of the already bright lights in the dark night sky. Then suddenly one of the brighter lights dashed incredibly fast to the other side of the sky. All three of us then rushed to my brothers window facing the front of the house and saw that there were other lights gathering around that one brighter light. It was almost as if they were doing a fornation. Suddenly there was a total of 10 super bright lights just floating in the sky. I called my brother and asked him to peak outside from his job site and see if he saw anything and while I was on the phone the lights started flickering and a few others just seemed to disappear into the night sky, until all were gone. We were convinced that these were no airplanes. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

The way and speed it moved were not concurrent with any type of aircraft--it just moved far too quickly. Witness provides no contact information. PD

Driving north on RT146A at approximately 18:05 saw a very bright light that was hovering in the sky then a blackness began behind it from my point of vision which grew to a size larger than the light then the light moved into the blackness and could no longer be seen and then the blackness grew smaller and smaller until it was gone.

After waking up we saw a bright light in yhe sky thru our window. It hovered in place for a few minutes and them it rapitly got smaller as it moved not across, but out and up towards space. It did not fly like a plane or helicopter.

At first I thought it was star, but then I noticed it moving. It made turns and hovered. Definitely not an airplane, and made maneuvers that helicopters do not do.

On Sunday, 11/29, at about 8 pm we saw and reported a UFO. The same two witnesses saw what appeared to be the same UFO last night, at about 6 pm, in the same part of the sky. This most recent sighting lasted about 2 minutes, and occurred near the northern horizon, which was the only patch of sky clear of clouds. A bright white light flashed a couple of times to the NNE, attracting our attention. As we had had the previous sighting, I grabbed my binoculars to view this light, which we initially suspected to be an airliner. Instead, I immediately saw that it was the same group of lights or object with several randomly flashing lights. It was dim enough that it was only visible with the binoculars, once the bright white flashing light stopped flashing. The object moved west, estimated at about 200 mph, then disappeared behind the mountains to the north. These mountains are about 8 miles from our house, and the object appeared to subtend 2 to 3 degrees of horizon. This would give it a width of 1,800', if eight miles away. It did not have the legally required navigation and anti-collision lights that all aircraft must display during hours of darkness: red navigation light on left wing tip, green on right plus white anti-collision strobes. The object only had randomly flashing lights of various colors. We are both professionals and have been involved in general aviation and in the airline business for years.
