Hinesburg, VT

Then light went out and object turned transparent and slowly faded away. Soon after, what appeared to be a jet flew out toward it.

My dog was acting funny like when he wants to go to the bathroom. I opened the door and hear the animals in the farm next door making noises. The dog was smelling around, but he seemed confused. The day was cloudless and somehow there was this shining object and at first I thought it was a plane but there was no noise. All of a sudden the object stopped completely for about 2 seconds. After that, it took a sharp right and sped off. I blink and it was gone. I still cannot believe what I saw.

Keizer, OR

Sunday October. 19 @ approx.00:15. I looked out the front window of the house that faces east. I was looking to see if the clouds had clearer before going to bed. I then noticed a round object in the north east sky. The angle of the object was about 30 deg., it was small but really bright and glowing red to yellow. At first I thought maybe a planet or satellite. I watched ," and it just did not look right." I then went outside to get a better look. I was thinking maybe a helicopter or aircraft. It was some distance away so I could hear no sound. I continued to stand and watch for what now had been maybe 5-6 min. And all of a sudden a ball of light dropped from the original ball. a few more seconds went by and 4 more balls dropped from the object. These balls fell straight down. About 10 seconds after the last dropped ball the original object faded out.

Middleboro, MA

Around 10pm on 10/17/2015, we first saw a light that was thought to be a the flash of a plane but it didn’t repeat as we expected. After about 10-15seconds it flashed again. I would describe the flashing very similar to what you would see from a lighthouse that is very far in the distance. It was slow & continued the 10-15 second interval cycle the whole time we watched. The object/light also moved many different directions, almost in a distorted figure-8 pattern. It was about 70 degrees above the horizon & while it moved, it covered an area of about 15-20degrees of the sky. It was seen to the south and eventually we lost sight of it as it moved towards the east and was blocked by branches of trees around us. Absolutely no sound was heard & although the sky was crystal clear at the time, no solid object could be seen, just the flash of light. So curious to see if anyone else saw this and/or if there's an explanation for this sighting.

East Aurora, NY

While driving home I saw a big, bright, purple-green light in the sky that hovered and bounced around to the south. It did not flash, fly in a straight line, or make any noise. It was definitely not a plane. It seemed lower to the ground than any plane I've seen in the sky. Then, as I was waiting at the red light the purple/green light turned red, hovered around a little more and then looked like it slowly started falling to the ground and out of sight behind the buildings, etc.. I didn't see any more of it after that, as I turned and was driving to the west. However, I did keep checking to the south.

Grove City, OH

As we moved down the road more came out of the distance. 3 in a row, then two side by side moving from side by side to on top of one another. We pulled over and counted almost 20 go by. We could not make out a shape against the night sky. They looked like balls of light. They were pretty low. We thought maybe they were military helicopters but they were completely silent. They seemed too large to be drones. We tried to find the source by driving in the direction they seemed to come from. We noticed a large bright flash on the ground level to the sky. It was a pinkish flash like the same color as a flare but over a huge area the size of a football field.

Evansville, IN

6 orange lights in sky much higher above an airplane traveling opposite direction to nearby airport. 6 lights were in a straight row for about a minute, and then one by one lights went out.

October 17, 2015 · 6:50 AM · LIGHT

Aurora, CO

Five or six lights seen from Gun Club/Quincy. Flew up an down, and then made a formation similar to the big dipper before I lost sight. They were north of my location by an unknown distance.

Hungerford, TX

solid bright red lights (2, not flickering), perfect rectangular shape, hovering.

Ouchita National Forest, AR

While travelling down Hwy 27 at 1am, my wife and I both noticed a bright white spherical light appear in the sky and it remained motionless for a few seconds, but appeared to become brighter. After a few seconds, the light changed turned a brilliant blue green and darted out of sight at a rate of speed I have never before seen. It's worth noting that 10-15 minutes before the event and for several miles there were so many deer in and on the side of the road we were forced to slow down to allow them to all move. During the sighting and moments after my wife and I both felt heavy as if the gravity had changed and my mind went to a weird place.

Lanai, HI

10 - 15 lights hovering along the coast of Lanai. Redish to white lights seen from the shore of Maui. One object entered water giving off a bluish green flash of light. Other lights stayed in line and did not move. About 25 minutes after object entered water, all lights vanished.

Modesto, CA

Returned home from shopping and a couple of neighbors came walking up and and add they did one noticed a strange lite in the sky unlike anything any of us had ever seen. We just froze, starring at it. A red orange lite that was most definitely hovering. It slowly faded away after about 3 maybe 4 minutes. Really cool but at the same time a little scary.

Cumberland, RI

I was heading from Rhode Island toward Massachusetts on 295 on 10/16 between 7:30- 8:00 PM, when I saw a bright light off in the distance in MA, to my right, come out of nowhere from the sky and shoot down toward earth at an extremely high rate of speed. I watched it and expected to hear or feel something when it impacted thinking it may have been a meteor. But there was nothing. It was quite a distance away; while I continued to drive, I then saw three planes flying in the general area the light appeared. They came from three different directions. Then all disappeared heading in the same direction.

Macomb, MI

Driving down the road and I noticed this oval disc shaped light flying around in the sky. I assumed it was some sort of spotlight or airplane but the craft kept changing directions and getting closer then backing away, hovering over the woods in the distance. I then stopped at a red light and it was still moving. When I turned it kept following me, but eventually disappeared behind the woods after a minute or so.

No information provided by witness. PD

Meridian, ID

I went to open my window last night because it was hot in the room. As soon as I opened my blinds, I noticed a light in the sky. I opened my window to get a better view of it: It was about the size of a porch light (when looking in the sky). When I looked at it, it started blinking and began to hover East. I'm not sure if it was some sort of aircraft because you could heard what sounded to be engines as it passed by.

Phoenix, AZ

Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

October 15, 2015 · 10:00 PM · LIGHT

Travelers Rest, SC

5 orange lights floating in the east. They would move very quickly around each other in no certain pattern. Twice we saw beams come from them. Then they just blinked out one by one. I tried to video them but got very little good shots on my cheap phone. Two witnesses, ages 48 and 52.

Murray, UT

A very bright red light appeared out of what seemed like nowhere as I was facing South. It began to moving down and gradually to the right. After about 20 seconds it dims. Then the lights goes off, you see nothing, then comes back on at the dim level twice before vanishing. Another one came about 30 seconds later doing roughly the same pattern. About 10 minutes later another appears. This time the light moves up and down gradually moving to the right, same light patterns. A fourth and finally a fifth light appears. All moving up and down, with the last 2 veering further to the right, near where the first two vanished. It wasn't long before several obvious airplanes flew across the sky in the same vicinity. And since I have heard regular helicopters in the sky, still until now at 23:30. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Rifle, CO

I have worked for the Colorado Department of Corrections for 18 years. While waiting for my daughters school bus on the afternoon of October 15 I was taking pictures of the clouds in front of the sun. I had accidentally hit slow motion video record on my phone. I was unaware of the objects until I watch the video a day later. In the video there are tiny bright lights the travel across the screen at an ultra high speed. In the video you will see a reflection of the sun that is blue green in color with a purple colored shadow. That is obvious. The first light comes from the sun's approximate 4:00 position and continues away from the sun at the 10:00 position. The second leaves the sun at the 12:00 at the same time the first leaves the sun. The third is at the sun's 7:00 a few frames later. When you look at the speed at which these things are moving keep in mind it is in slo-mo at 240 fps. I don't think you could see these with the naked eye.

Hustonville, KY

It was spotted about 2mls away scanning treetops. It looked like a star light or helicopter hovering the treeline. After 2 minutes of hovering it shot straight up at a speed not known to exist in aircrafts.

Appomattox, VA

Above that was a strobing color-changing (red, blue, green, yellow) object. Curved shape. Unmoving. Was there for about 10-15 minutes. Went to get a camera and they were gone.

October 14, 2015 · 10:00 PM · LIGHT

Canton, MI

Me and my dad were outside and starting seeing an object with a blinking red light on it that was moving extremely fast that it appeared to be skipping across the sky and then it was making a bunch of really sharp movements upward and down and left and right which airplanes obviously don't do, the craft would also abruptly stop in its path, and then continue on its course. Then we saw another one, it was a blinking light that looked like a star and it was blinking all over the place really fast across the sky. The objects eventually disappeared.

Greenville, SC

3 orange-reddish fireballs flying in a triangle formation coming from northeast heading southwest. Travel speed was constant for all 3 at first, then became variable. Each craft vanished at different intervals over the Welcome neighborhood community. Crafts made no sound and were not at low altitude. Nearby air traffic seemed unaffected as we watched the skies for 20 more minutes and saw nothing more. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
