Johnsonville, SC
Then I thought maybe an airplane. But stopped for a few seconds, then went straight up and stopped again. I called my son to come outside and jokingly said, "Do you wanna see a UFO?" So I pointed it to him then it got weird. The thing started moving in circles, started zig zagging changing directions in a flash, all while very slowly getting higher. It is now over 4 hrs later, and while much higher we are still it at 1:46 am eastern on 10/15/2015.

I was talking with a friend and there was nothing in the sky to the west. I know because I was looking in that direction anyways. I put my head down to rub my eye and when I looked up there was this white bright light in the sky. It turned several times very abruptly and then shot down as if to the surface and then the light just when out. There was no sound from the object. Very weird!!!!

Albany, OR
Driving home from the store my daughter and I both noticed two fast moving white lights in the sky. The lights darted across the sky going South. We followed the lights approximately 2 miles and were unable to keep up with them. We lost sight of the lights as they went over a tall grove of trees. There were headed toward the I-5 corridor going toward Eugene. They were round and white in color and didn’t make any noise. This is the second time in a month that I have noticed lights like this in this general area. It was a clear evening no clouds.

Mountain View, CA
A few friends and I went to a show at Shoreline Ampitheater in Mountain View. We first noticed 2 lights in the sky that looked a little off. I kept looking back at them throughout the night. They would disappear and reappear. I saw what I thought was a plan going towards the lights. The lights that I thought was a plane separated and bounced off each other before coming back together and flying off in the direction it came. This happened several different times. My friends and I watched as suddenly a 3rd bright light appeared. Within 5 minutes, a 4th appeared. I snapped a picture of them. They were stationary for about 20 minutes when one slowly flew away, then the next one, and the next one and finally the 4th one flew away. Very interesting. On our way to the parking lot after the show, we also saw what appeared to be an asteroid strike across the sky with brilliant blue and green lights in the tail.

Three foggy, kind of small, white lights moving fairly fast across the sky. They were moving in a vertical line kind of bobbing side by side as they were moving. My first UFO sighting, never seen anything like it.

Rochester, NH
Last evening, 10/12/2015, I went out to my truck to get a bag of groceries when I noticed a bright, flashing light. It was strobing, then it would stop and go very bright, then strobe again. It was a white/yellow/orange combination of light. It was just sitting there in the North East just above the tree line. I ran into our house and got my wife, she came out to the front of our home, watched it with me for about 30 seconds, then it moved to the North. We could no longer see it from the front of our house so we went out to our back deck and was able to see it just over the trees. It was very, very bright, moving funny. A little to the left, then up, then back. After about 2 to 3 minutes, right before our eyes, it vanished! At this time our daughter came over and wanted to know what we were doing, we told her what we saw. After about 5 minutes of scanning the sky, BAM, it repapered right where it had vanished. It seemed much brighter, moving a bit erratic and strobing faster. After about 2 to 3 minutes, it moved up and to the north, then in a second vanished again. We watched for another 10 to 15 minutes but it never came back. What we did notice is that after about 20 minutes after in vanished for the last time, there were a number of airplanes!! We did not see one in the sky while we were watching the “UFO”, but after we counted at least 8 in the sky over and around where we saw the light. Our son is very much into UFO’s and told us that when something like this happens and you see a number of planes, something defiantly is going on. We are going to continue to monitor the sky every night for a while to see if it comes back.

Driving down I-94 going west and the sun was setting. It was clear sky's out. I notice a light in the sky not moving, thought it's early for a star to be out. Kept looking at it and the light got brighter like a flash and than went back to normal for a few second and disappeared. I called to tell a friend and with in minutes the light repeared in a different location for a few seconds and disappeared again.

While walking my dog at about 10pm I noticed a red "star" in the NNE sky as I was looking at the beautiful star lit night sky. As I watched this "star" I noticed that it was not red, but it was infact just a bright star...then it turned green, then red then back to white. I thought it could perhaps be an aircraft traveling toward me and that is why it looked like it was stationary but then it moved slightly to the left (about an inch in my view, which could be many miles in the sky) then back to the original position. I went and got my daughter to come out and look at it and it did the same thing while she was with me....turned red, then green, then clear for a while then moved slightly to the left and this time up then back to the original position still changing colors. I even got out binoculars and while it still looked like a star I could see the color change easier thru the binoculars than with my naked eye. Not saying this is a! UFO, but it was definitely something strange....it stayed in the same spot for about 20 minutes (except for the 2 times I saw it move) then I went inside. I do not know exactly how long it had been there or how long it stayed after we went inside. There were planes in the area as we live about 15 minutes from the airport but this didn't move like a plane and looked like it was farther away then when the planes fly over.

Seattle, WA
At about 10:00 PM on Oct. 11, 2015, I took our dog out for a walk. It's my habit to look overhead at the sky and clouds. This evening, I looked up and saw a light source going around and around. I stopped to watch it, to try to figure out what it was. I'm familiar with the way the way the attention-getting search lights used by businesses look when they shine up into the sky. This was not like them. This appeared to be a light source that was coming from above the clouds--not from below. It was a diffused light, moving in a clock-wise direction and completing a circle about once every second. The relative size of the source was about the size of a full moon. It went on for about 20 minutes. The circumference of the circle was hard to quantify, but I would estimate it to be about 5 to 10 percent of the overhead sky. I watched this light for about 20 minutes, as I walked the dog. It suddenly stopped--it didn't get smaller as if moving away--it simply stopped. I called it into! the Seattle Police Department and the person on the phone suggested I call the phone number for reporting UFOs. I called the number and spoke with a gentleman who asked that I submit a brief written description of the incident. As a side note, I'm a photographer and used to observing light. This truly looked like a light source that was coming from above the clouds. The area of this observation was from SW Monroe St and 39th Ave SW to SW Rose St. and 39th Ave SW in West Seattle, WA. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Regards, John

Sitting on the patio at La Huerta. Saw a bright, white light in the north east sky. It was very still, and bright which we thought was unusual. It then began to move south, slowly. As it got more directly east of us, a plane came into view from the east flying towards it. As the plane approached, the light turned bright orange. A red ball of light shot out of it at and angle, towards the ground but disappeared maybe 20 feet below the 'craft.' The orange glow of the craft grew very bright, and then as the plane came nearer, it disappeared completely. I saw similar object in the sky this year (2015) on 4th of July. S ame bright light, tough none of them moving.

Morgan Hill, CA
In the hills of east Morgan Hill, CA, My coworker and I were hanging outside of the wedding we were photographing. My coworker saw a shooting star in the Southern skies. I did not see the shooting star. A minute or two later, a bright light came flying across the sky from the south heading north. It was moving very quickly and it was zig-zagging. Once the light passed us overhead, it slowed very rapidly almost to a stop. It continued to move to the north, but much slower and began to flash a red light intermittently, mimicking a commercial plane. Within a minute, it was over the horizon and out of view.

Around 2215-2230 on October 10, 2015, my boyfriend went outside out. We are in the country, so being able to visualize the stars is normal. While he was looking up he noticed two lights that were flashing red/blue (this was a continuous flashing that never changed) and moving in tandem of each other. The movements were very precise. They went up, down, zig-zag, and sideways but always seemed to be in tandem. He brought me outside and I immediately saw the same thing. Then I looked a different direction and saw another one. They were not planes, as there was no sound. There also isn’t any plane that could move like they did. Then through some of the tree’s we noticed another one. When the objects were not moving but just hovering they had a little bounce or wiggle. If one object was moving a great deal it seemed the others stayed rather still. This went on for about an hour. Then they just slowly started getting farther away and disappeared. The same thing occurred again the following night on October 11, 2015. The first 2 flashing red/blue lights we saw were in the exact same place, then we saw the third and it was in the exact same spot as the night before. There was less cloud cover this night and we saw two additional lights. These also seemed to move in tandem with each other. Total, we saw 5 lights but expect that the single one probably had a tandem partner that we could not see. We watched again for close to an hour. When we went inside they were still there. When we woke the morning of October 12, 2015 at 0500 there were no lights that we could see. We tried to obtain video but could not get anything. What we saw is similar to video we found online dating back to 2012/2013 of mysterious lights in the sky. My boyfriend has his Masters in Biological Oceanography. He worked for 8 years with Science Applications International Corp. as an Environmental Scientist (the company worked with the Navy). He is currently a high school Biology teacher. I just finished school for my Registered Nursing. Both of us are highly educated and very observant people. We don’t believe in aliens per se. However, something is going on in our skies.

My wife and I observed about 8 different red lights floating in their air for about a hour. They were loosely in a string, barely moving across the sky. Some would disappear, then show back up in a different area on the horizon. After about a hour, they all sort of lifted and left.

Thorsby, AL
I witnessed five bright red non-flashing lights moving north to south at an estimated 5 miles from my elevated viewpoint. From my sighting point due east of Thorsby the lights [when I first noticed them] were at about 28 degrees NE from my location. My first impression was that the two southern most lights might be wing lights on a banked C-130 which cross the area on occasion, but after watching them it became obvious they were not. I stood several feet away from a six foot chain link fence post to use it as a witness mark to judge their motion. The lights were about 15 degrees above the eastern horizon and their brightness and size was comparable to the microwave tower [one mile distant] south of the five moving lights. After about 10 minutes the leading two lights separated, one upward and the other slightly downward, then shortly disappeared. The other three trailing lights disappeared very soon after, almost in sequence with one another. There was never! any sound.

Lincoln, CA
Sitting in my backyard with family. Saw an alternating blue and red light flashing. No noise at and moving straight up. It then stopped mid air and hovered then slowly moved to the right. My four year old got scared so I brought her inside. I was saying goodbye to the family at the front door a few minutes later and saw past them up into the sky and object up higher in the sky, again no noise, moving slowly to the left then stopping and hovering. His one flashed all colors of light-blue, into violet, into red, orange, yellow, green and so on. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Muscatine, IA
Sky was dark, I went outside to have a smoke. I walked around to the back of my apt. bldg. and looked up as I usually do. almost straight overhead, (I would say at about 85 deg.), I saw a light brighter and larger than any star I have ever seen. It was about 1/8th to 3/16ths of an inch held at arms length. Color was bright white. My first thought was "Hello, what are you doing up there?" As soon as that thought was complete, this light began to recede and shrink. Within a second, or second and a half it had "faded" to match the faintest stars you could see. Then it was gone. There were aircraft in the sky, but they showed no interaction with this "light." I saw other stars, planets in the area but noticed no indication of a shape behind this light.

Broomfield, CO
I went on a run through Commons Park. Just after sunset as I was leaving the park I noticed a small ball of light moving east from the west. It was moving about the speed of an airplane however the light was unlike any aircraft I've ever seen, a yellow amber color, surrounding the object. After a couple minutes it veered north, the direction I was facing and continued onward. At this time I noticed a second light, just like the one before, in the same place I noticed the first one taking the exact same course as the first. I watched the first until it flickered out. And watched the second till it flickered out. I don't think they went out because they got to far away. They weren't moving fast enough to get that far off. They just got fainter and fainter and then were gone.

We saw two star like objects moving ultra slow. One made a slow sse to nnw pass and the other stayed virtually just to the south of us with small minor movements of the last two hours. They didn't change in intensity but looked like the international space station minus the velocity. Now it's gone!
