Caldwell, ID
I was headed down Farmway Road on the west end of Caldwell at approximately 5:45pm, the sun had set but the sky was still light. At the south end of the valley, at or near the Owyhee Mountains, I saw a orange light up in the sky flash on, then about 2 seconds later, two more orange lights appeared to the left and right of the first light, and then all 3 disappeared. About 6 seconds later, a 4th orange light flashed to the far right of where the first 3 lights had appeared, and then disappeared.

Lewiston, ME
I observed the light move across half of the visible horizon, then disappear. The speed was steady, and may have even been increasing…much faster than any plane or jet. The trajectory was completely flat. I have seen many meteorites/shooting stars and it was definitely much different than those. I was with another parent talking and I said, "Oh my God, look at that!" By the time the parent turned around to look, the light disappeared.

Largo, FL
I noticed it because the odd color red, orange, green, and white light pulsating. I moved closer to get a better look on my back porch then a meteor or something whizzed right past it. In a strange way like with a curve. The light never went away, when I was outside and didn't move . Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Appalachia, VA
I saw the most amazing thing this morning sometime between 3:30-4:30 am. I work as a security guard on the back side of big mountain in Va. I was driving making rounds this morning when I saw several airplanes in the area. The sky was clear and beautiful and i'm pretty sure that I could even see Jupiter just to the left of the brightest star in the sky which we call the north star but I know is incorrect. I then noticed more airplanes in the area and that two of the planes were flying really close together. Approximately 5-8 minutes later I saw what looked like a small star slowly moving in the sky. I continued watching and even backed my car up about 30 yards to make sure I wasn't mistaken. The thing was slow moving. I waited about five minutes and drove on down the road to watch it some more. In front of my eyes it just disappeared. I immediately saw two planes headed in the direction of the thing. I then turned around and was headed back to my post when I saw a shooting star out the drivers side window. Maybe two seconds later the shooting star came back and up toward space. I became excited because I knew without a doubt that I had just witnessed something that could move faster than anything I have ever heard of! I continued on to my post in amazement and waited for my relief to show up. I then left work just a little after 5 am and was on the same road when the thing that looked like a small glowing star appeared in the sky again. This time in a totally different place. Within seconds my amazement went to total fear. This thing took across the sky and suddenly stoped again. 3 seconds later, the thing took off again went straight and then up and into space I guess! I came straight home and woke my wife and kids up because I was scared. I have always kept an open mind when it comes to the possibility of other life out there somewhere but I have never believed the stuff I have seen or heard about UFO sightings! Maybe this was just something we have now but I'm afraid it's not. There were at least 5 to 6 airplanes in this area during this sighting. All I can say is it was bright and maybe oval. It was white and that is all! I could see no other color. Witnessing this has really opened my eyes. Could there be life in our on galaxy or is this something of ours?

Granger, IA
Looked outside to see if there was someone on the ground with a flashlight, but there was nobody there. No other streams happened afterwards. The stream started out strong and then faded rather quickly. Happened sometime between 1:00 am and 1:20 am.

North Star, DE
My son and I heard it at the exact same time, because we looked at each other immediately. We didn't talk, I just jumped to the window ans threw up the shade. I saw nothing but a faint orang-ish glow. It shook our walls, it was very loud and very low and no sound either of us could identify hearing before. The closest description would be "rocket." I then went into the backyard, we live away from city glow and have a better nightscape. I then see 4 light formations if I was thr middle pointing up and out with both arms to either direction one would be at each pointer fingertip and another at each pinky tip. Cigar shaped, but 3 lights mainly, one large and 2 smaller on either side. No movement. like so oOo oOo oOo oOo lights seemed bright white. Strange. 5 minutes after "noise" 5-10 helios began flying around in the area.

Berryville, VA
Facing east, with the sun just set behind me, I had just got out of my car when I noticed an extremely light high in the sky almost directly overhead at approximately 80 to 85 degrees. Moving north to south, it was moving at a pretty fast clip, but much too slow or large to be a meteor (no tail either), and it appeared much higher in the sky than any of the other aircraft (of which there were at least 4 that I noticed). The sky was clear and with the sun having just set I initially thought the brightness was just a satellite reflecting the sun, but as it moved from south to north it dimmed, and in under a minute was completely gone. I stood watching the sky for a few more minutes in case the light returned, but nothing was visible again along the object's path during the next 5 minutes.

Midway, AR
My husband and I saw something around 11:30pm in Midway, Arkansas, on 11/02/2015. A light that shot down/across the sky at a speed I can only describe as unhumanly possible. No streaks behind the light, no flashing, just a bright ball of light that seemed unnatural. It was foggy is some spots but the sky was and still is clear. No clouds, moon was half way exposed. We were driving home and both saw it at the same time we didn't even get out the phrase, "What the hell is THAT?!" before it was gone. By the time we realized what happened it was far too late for photos or video. It was, simply put, incredible.

Philadelphia, PA
Seen these once before from my east-facing window. Three lights appeared in a triangle formation, faded in and out of view, changed to a straight line formation, and then faded away again. They don't move much once in formation, they just hover. Took several pictures as evidence, but of course they don't show much, as I couldn't see much myself.

Eudora, KS
Me and girlfriend walking down dark road to look at stars. Saw a purple light to the South East of town. It would hover, and dance from side to side. Seemed very far away, but moved with a very agile speed. It would hover for minutes at a time before shooting off again. It disappeared southward (down?) over the horizon. 5 minutes later it shot back up, briefly hung in the air before distinctly pulsing red twice, and then going down over the horizon again.

Marion, IN
My boyfriend and I were walking to his parents about a block away. The first lights we saw were on the way there. We live outside of the city so we get an amazing sky view. First we saw 1 white light that didn't flash at all like the airplanes and looked about twice the size. There was no sound and it changed direction and speed about 3 times before disappearing suddenly. We saw a second one far to the right behaving in the same way but going different directions. When it went to the far right we could hear dogs begin to bark from the same direction. We get to his parents and we're there for awhile visiting and eating. We leave and just as we head down the road, he says, "I hope we get to see something else," an a bright orange "shooting star" shoots through the sky and appears to explode and disappear as it falls. Did anyone else see this? Please report it so we know we're not the only ones.

Kenosha, WI
Walking to a beach on Lake Michigan, my companion and I watched as four white-yellow lights flew across the sky. At first we believed them to be at the bottom of some aircraft, but it was zipping across the night sky at a relatively quick pace. The lights had a southbound direction. At some point, the lights moved in such as way that the imaginary craft they were connected to was no longer parallel with the earth (horizontally aligned) but as if it were perpendicular to the earth (vertically aligned). The lights then converged together. They began to corkscrew rapid in the night sky before flying off in that corkscrew fashion in a southeastern direction.

Ada, MI
One bright light, intensity about 3 times brighter than brightest planet on most nights, appeared in the southern sky just as the stars were coming out. Light did not move, but glowed bright white, intensified, then as it began to fade, or dim, it zoomed off in an upward and southeastern direction, fading to nothing as it got further on it's trajectory. Similar to one I spotted winter 2014-15 in same area.

Wicksburg, AL
As he keeps glancing at it, the light begins to fade out slowly and then before we know it vanishes. Very odd it happen so quickly I didn't think to take pictures and it was gone before we knew it. It looked just like a planet it was a bright white light no haze or tail or trail left behind, but a circle of light thay faded to nothing.

Aurora, CO
5 lights, similar to the look of flares, moving round each other while lowering in elevation. They left a very short lasting trail behind each. They were in a shape similar to the big dipper when I first spotted them. They moved in formation with what seemed to be one taking the lead. I lost sight after they dropped below a near by roof line. I was at ground level, the roof is 4 stories, so they were likely still at a decent height.

Centennial, CO
I looked to the North West and the 6 lights were in a diagonal line perfectly spaced. Then they moved to a pyramid shape; then went into a horizontal formation and went off into the distance without a recognizable shape. Yellowish orange lights. No flashing indicator lights.

Toledo, OH
Saw a big bright light just appear and fall out of the sky. No crash, no sound, nothing. Not one word of a plane crash on the news. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Logan, UT
The object was blinking a red light on and off very steadily. It had a vapor trail, and appeared to have a flag-like object coming off of it. I know for a fact it was not a twinkling star or an airplane or helicopter, I am a private pilot and know how to identify these. Possible sighting of planets? PD

Chillicothe, OH
About 20 to 30 lighted objects in the shy. They was setting still we seen them turned around to see what they was and they was gone. But they were in straight lines, grouped in a square and diagonal lines. We have never seen anything like it before!

Escondido, CA
Watched star like object go across sky at a very high rate of speed. Not a satellite. You could follow it with your eyes. It changed direction and disappeared. We have changed the time, to reflect a nighttime sighting. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous, and provides no contact information, so we are unable to contact him/her to confirm the time. PD
