Athens, IL
I have seen this pale orange color light on two other occasions in the same basic area in the October/November timeframes only this time it was at the top of the tree line and crossing over the road I was on. As it got closer to my car I could vaguely see underneath it. It had either blue or green lights on the left and right of the orange ball and underneath it was dark colored. It did not appear to have any landing gear or anything. It didn’t look like any type of aircraft I had ever seen before so it is hard to describe it. I could not tell the overall shape of it because of the dark color in the dark sky. I did not hear any noises from it and did not see any obvious wings or propellers. It went slowly over the top of my car and then disappeared. It was in the Northwest sky this time but has previously been Northeast. This time it seemed like it was within 50-100 ft of the ground. If I see it again I will try to get a picture.

Columbia, MO
Missouri Investigators Group report. ufomig@yolasite.com. In the vicinity of Kohl's Department Store 1010 East Green Meadows. Witness was driving and first saw five small red lights "sort of hanging in the sky" in the Southwest. (Between 45 to 70 degrees above horizon.) Decided to pull over and try to take a picture. (Two pictures did come out.) Watched as the five lights began to fade but not before the light formation appeared in a triangle shape. (One picture.) Pictures will be uploaded. A private plane entered the airspace after the lights had faded away. The engine could be easily heard.

Beaverdam, VA
I started looking at other stars in the sky and some of those were doing it too, but not as fast and all over the place as the main one. I called my best friend to have him go look. He lives in another part of the state and he saw them too.

Signal Mountain, TN
A single green light seemed to fall straight down from the sky, north of Signal Mtn, Tn (which is just NW of Chattanooga). It seemed to be propelled by gravity only, but I can’t know for sure. I cannot judge how far away it was, only that it was more than 200’ because it fell behind leafless trees that were at least 200’ away. From where I was, the object was the size of a pencil lead – small but very bright. My companion in the car saw it also and agreed it was green and falling.

While driving on Byers Rd heading to Austin Blvd my daughter and I saw a greenish/blue light flashing across the sky then flash orange and disappear. It only lasted for 2 seconds and was moving extremely fast.

New York, NY
This very interesting light craft was captured on the west side of Manhattan after a CE5 indoor meditation followed by a visual sky watch. The light appeared stationary like a star, but much bigger, brighter, and closer. It had a disco color shape to it and as I zoomed in with my video camera, it appeared as it was morphing, almost as if it was a disco heart pumping. It turned into a donut with a black hole in the middle and I noticed that it was drifting slowly to the right based on how it was centered in my camera LCD. I have captured this light along with similar lights that have appeared after deep meditations. All videos are documented very well and are on my youtube channel. Link to this video is posted here: another video was documented on Nov 26, and another day light sighting back on September 17 as you scroll through my videos: https://youtu.be/vN0g-TF0MDg Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Hampton, NH
My husband and I were travelling on Winnacunnet Road in Hampton, NH at approximately 7:55 p.m. on Saturday, November 21, 2015, when we both noticed bright lights in the sky. I asked what he thought those were and he replied “stars”. I said they couldn’t be because they were an orangey red color and quite bright for stars and they began to move. We pulled over and got out of the car. They were moving together across the sky heading northwest. They were a bright, solid, steady reddish light, not blinking as aircrafts do. There were about 8 of them. Maybe 10,000 to 18,000 feet in elevation. Once they reached a certain spot in the sky they dimmed then vanished, as all the lights did once they reached that same area. There was no sound from them whatsoever. We travelled a little further down the road, heading east maybe just a few hundred feet and saw some more lights heading in the same direction. Again, we pulled over and got out of the car to observe them. There were about 3 lights this time, moving in the same way as the others had, and again dimmed and vanished. While searching online to see if anything similar had been reported in the area that evening, I came across your sight. I was amazed to read a report from Harmonyville, PA, on November 16, 2015. That report describes exactly the lights my husband and I saw in Hampton, NH, on November 21, 2015.

Gibsonville, NC
Driving down 150 between Gibsonville and Greensboro, I had a weird feeling I was being followed. After a few minutes I leaned forward and looked out the windshield and above me at an undetermined distance was a green light, not unlike a helicopter, but not blinking, moving at approximately the same speed as my car. I stared at this solid green light for about five seconds, then it accelerated off towards the western horizon with INCREDIBLE speed for 3-4 seconds before disappearing entirely..

Seattle, WA
Over a span of about five minutes, saw approximately 12 reddish lights in three loose formations traveling due west across downtown Seattle. The formations were variations on chevron/arrow shaped, regularly spaced and formation was held without wavering. The lights were reddish orange in colour and did not pulse or flicker. There were no other lights that would indicate that these were aircraft navigation lights. No discernible shape of the light or craft. No sound was heard over the background noise of the city. Unable to properly judge height, but based on the angle at which they passed behind a tall building, my angle to the building and assuming their speed was similar to that of a jet aircraft, I estimate that they were over 8,000 feet. for some reason, witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate.

Idaho falls, ID
In the western sky around the Kettle butte area, a large bright white light filled the sky. At the bottom of this pillar of light there were red, orange and blue flashing lights. It lasted for about 20 seconds and the just disappeared. About 20 seconds later it reappeared and lasted for another 20 or 30 seconds.

Tucson, AZ
Two orange or amber lights appeared and disappeared around 20:45, moving in a slow snake-like motion. Then 5 or more lights appeared one after another, lighting up in an upward direction, and formed a triangular shape. Then all of the lights disappeared quickly in unison and one more light appeared again, which I was able to catch on video. In total, up to 7 lights appeared but I was only able to capture one on a 1 minute and 15 second long video. In the video, you can see the dark, clear Tucson sky and crescent-shaped moon above the light. Stars were visible to our human eye around the moon, but were not bright enough to be caught in the video, and the stars were distinctly smaller and whiter in color than the orange lights we saw. The lights disappeared at 20:52 and further recordings showed no more lights in the same area as our first recording with the two lights. This sighting took place near a small airport, however we don't normally see planes or helicopters fly over the area that we saw these lights.

Warwick, RI
I looked out my window and saw a big ball of light it looked way bigger then a plane and it was unlike anything I've ever seen in my life before. It was flying slowly in one direction just above the trees then after about 5 minutes it just disappeared. It was about 8:00 at night when i saw it i told my brother and we both went outside to look at it. It was so strange and right before it disappeared it looked like it was spinning and had many lights on it. I took pictures of it and when I look at the pictures it looked like it was changing size/shape. We suspect that the report is a hoax. Date is flawed, which we have changed, and time may be flawed, as well. Witness indicates flawed e-address. PD

Charlotte, NC
The object was travelling at a VERY high rate of speed - much, much faster than the space station - and was out of my view within 10-15 seconds, moving due NW to due SE with no vector, i.e. banking or turning in its route.

Harmonyville, PA
I experienced a very unusual observation in the night of November 16, around 1930 hours EDT, in an area about 45 miles northwest of Philadelphia near Pottstown, PA. The sighting took place while I was driving with my wife on Harmonyville Rd., North Coventry Township, Chester County Pennsylvania. The exact coordinates of the location are: N40.18741 degrees W75.74.242 degrees The sighting involved at least 11 bright orange lights moving slowly together, generally in a northwest to southeast direction, and lasted in the neighborhood of 5 to 10 minutes. I think there were a few more lights than 11, but I was counting as fast as I could because I did not know how much longer the lights would be visible and I wanted to be sure to get a rough count, at least, before they disappeared. The lights were all a bright orange, equal in color and brightness. They appeared to be randomly arranged, with no apparent rhyme or reason in their relationships to one another. They appeared to be more than a pin point of light as you see when looking at a star or planet with the naked eye. They appeared to have an actual dimension to them using just my unaided eye. The lights were all moving in unison in a northwest to southeast direction. They all moved at the same speed and did not change at all in their relationship to one another, as though they were physically connected. Nothing could be observed, however, connecting one light to another. It was the appearance an object would have if the orange lights were coming out of windows in an object that had windows but was otherwise invisible. But that isn’t is it? They were moving very slowly from left to right. When I first spotted them, they appeared to be stationary, but after I stopped the car to get out and look closely I noticed they were in fact moving at a steady slow speed. They had an observable speed such as you would see when looking at a high flying jet aircraft or man made satellite passing over head. The lights I saw were about 5 to 10 degrees above the horizon at the lowest and about 20 degrees at the highest. They appeared to be fairly close to me and absolutely were not stars, planets, man made satellites, flying aircraft or like anything else I have ever seen. The light farthest to the left, from where I stood, was on a magnetic heading of 100 degrees and the light on the right was on a heading of 125 degrees, so they covered an arc in the sky of about 25 degrees. As mentioned above, the vertical development was only an arc of about 10 to 15 degrees, so the lights collectively were a good bit wider than they were high. As we watched, the lights farthest to the right started to go dim and then became invisible as though they were either going into or behind a cloud or fog bank. We could not detect either, so I can not tell if they were going out or being obscured. Then, as the remaining lights approached the same area of the sky, they also slowly dimmed and disappeared. There was no sound whatsoever connected to the sighting, I was in a remote rural area and there was no other vehicular traffic or local noises, so it was a very quiet setting. I am a retired attorney with a rudimentary knowledge of astronomy, a private pilot’s license and in all my life I have never come even close to seeing anything even remotely like what I saw last night. My wife was with me and saw the exact same thing. I have simply no clue at all concerning what we saw, but, I am totally certain we saw exactly what I described above. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) 11-20-2015 16:25 hours EST Dear Peter, I just submitted to you a UFO sighting report and want to follow up that report with the two attached photos which I downloaded from the internet to show better what my wife and I saw 11-16-2015. The pic with "163" in the name of the .jpg, shows what the random assembly of lights looked like to us. The arrangement of the lights we saw was different, but this pic shows better than my words what we saw. Also, we saw around 11 lights, not what is in this pic. The other picture, with "120411" in the title, depicts the actual bright orange color we saw and shows that the lights were more than a mere pin point of light in the night sky. What we saw did not appear to show as much dimension as this picture shows. I struck out on the weather. The flight weather service man does not have the past weather records, he only deals with current conditions and forecasts. He gave me two other numbers, but the bureaucrats are all out for Happy Hour, or whatever starts their weekends. If it is important to you going forward, I can try further on Monday when the offices are open. I enjoyed chatting with you and we both look forward to your call around 10 EST tonight. Sincerely yours, ((name deleted)) ((END ADDENDUM))

Fort Payne, AL
On 11/16/15 about 7:30 pm myself, my sister-in-law & her daughter were walking her dogs. It was dark, light overcast and very windy. When reaching the intersection of Hamilton Drive and Crystal Lake Drive we spotted a large, bright red light against the mountain. My first thought was it was a car's tail lights visible on a mountain road, but then realized there were no mountain roads in that area. The light moved up the mountain side seemingly following the slope and then back down to approximately its original elevation and began blinking a small green light from the lower side of the red light. It began to move left, right, back left and then rapidly ascended to an altitude approximately the height of the mountain, estimate 500 feet in about 5 seconds. Then it rapidly descended back to its original altitude. The light slowly descended from that point behind a tree line as if landing and was not seen again. No craft shape could be seen as the red light dominated. The event lasted approximately 20 minutes.

I decided to pull an all-nighter because I had at best 2 hours of sleep to get that night. So I'm sitting beside my window on my phone and I hear airplanes, so I guess that compelled me to look out the window (airplanes are normal around there). However, I notice a stationary blue light in the sky that is relatively small in my sight since it was far away. After looking at this light, I see it dim and then quickly shoot upwards while still dimming until it disappeared. It disappeared for a bit then reappeared stationary in the same general area one time, "dimmed" and disappeared again, and reappearing a ways further. At some points it would go dim to where I thought I saw multiple dimmed blue lights faintly moving around the sky. I do distinctly remember seeing a dim blue light flying left, then upwards while disappearing. This was most likely another ufo, but it's possible it was the same one I first seen just reappearing at another spot very fast.! What I took away from the experience was deep mystery and intelligence. The lights did not move like objects on a fixed course, but rather moved intelligently like an insect flies.
