La Center, WA
La Center WA: October 3, 2015, 8:30 p.m. - While looking at stars with my granddaughter, we saw a bright moving object which we thought was a satellite. However, it quickly disappeared. Then another bright object appeared, traveled a short distance and also disappeared. We continued looking at CLEAR night sky and saw a few satellites move across the sky which we tracked until they went out of view. I have no idea what the two objects were that suddenly appeared and then vanished. They were very high in sky and no sound at all. Leaves me wondering what we saw?

Tucson, AZ
On the east side of Tucson, AZ. Bright white light traveling from NE to SW stopped for approximately 5-6 seconds and reversed (without turning) back towards NE in the same exact path. Light was constant, no blinking or sound associated.

Stationary and hovering in the sky, maybe 2,000 feet. Live nearby an airport but I saw a plane fly in a couple minutes before the light.

Port Orange, FL
This was the second time we seen this same object. The first time we seen this was a few weeks ago on September 16th around 11:30pm. Both times in the same exact place the front yard of my friends house. Both times the bright red light was flying really low in the same motion, did a little zig zag movement then disappeared. Both times it was to close to us to be a plane or helicopter because there was no noise coming from the light. The second time we seen the light my friend ran into the house to get his wife as he went in I started to record the light I recorded for about two min on my phone but it only recorded the last 1 second of the video which we found really strange.

Copperopolis, CA
I was trying to figure out what it was, and I noticed it wasn't moving. It looked as if it was a car headlight in the sky. If you took a dime and held it at arm’s length it would have been about half as big as the dime. It was much larger than a star, satellite, plane or shooting star, and brighter. I looked away for a second and then looked back and it was gone. I looked thru the branches of the tree thinking maybe it had gone behind the tree, but I didn't see anything. As I continued to look, now with my wife's help, all of the sudden in the same place it appeared again. It was there for a several seconds and then it disappeared again. It was as if someone turned a light switch on, paused, and then off. All of the sudden it came back on again. It seemed to be in the same location. It was definitely in the sky, well up in the sky. Then we saw a much smaller, dimmer light go on and off in the same location a couple times, and then the big light again. My wife said it looked kind of like it had a short fat tail, not like a shooting star tail or trail, but I did not notice that. We continued to watch for it and saw it again a little higher in the sky than where we saw it before. It disappeared once more and appeared again a little bit further south from where it was. That was the last we saw of it. The whole thing lasted over 4-5 minutes before it disappeared. This by far did not match anything I have ever seen before. It was much bigger, much brighter, did not have a specific path and stayed in a certain spot before moving. When it did move it wasn't in a straight line. It wasn't a helicopter, there was no noise, no flashing lights in any color like a plane or helicopter. I can honestly say I could not identify it.

Panama City Beach, FL
At this time my family and I were on vacation at Panama City Beach. We were at the pool and had exited out and were sitting on the deck facing the ocean. At that time a orange/ white light appeared in the night sky between 8-9 o'clock P.M. central time. It moved from SW to NE and lasted 1 to 2 minutes. When it started it was extremely bright and as it moved along it got smaller and eventually went out just like you flipped a light switch. There was also no noise. We have never seen anything like it. It couldn't have been a light from a helicopter or plane it was to big and bright.

Kendall, NY
As we arrived at our destination we watched harder, and could see it was moving left, right, up, and down slowly. In this time it vanished and reappeared 3 times. I also recorded a blurry video on my phone...

Naples, FL
A bright light comes out of it and the funnel starts to loose its shape, it is very dense and it takes about 30-45 minutes for this fumes or whatever it is to disappear into the athmosphere. The bright round light that came out of it continues going up in the sky and it seems to stop for a few minutes and then continues to go up. Rocket launch. PD

Pflugerville, TX
As the stop light turned green, I tried to keep my eye on it but driving became difficult and I was too late to work to pull over to watch it. I was thinking and hoping it was someone playing with a drone, but I cannot be sure. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Ronan, MT
I looked to the east and saw a bright light. My husband and I thought it was a star but realized there was nothing that should be that bright in the sky. We watched it for a little while then we looked away. My husband thought that it was getting brighter. About 3 minuets later I looked back up and caught it fade to nothing. We are not sure if something spectacular happened in space or what. Sighting of Venus?? PD

Austin, TX
I was traveling southbound on Mopac (aka Tx Loop 1), about to exit for HWY 360 Capitol of Texas. It was 4:36 am when my 1999 Brown Chevy Astro abruptly turned off. I attempted to turn the key but had zero power. That's when a large light, partially obscured by light clouds, appeared and remained motionless. I stepped out of my vehicle and took a picture with my smartphone. I attempted to access the video recorder, but the light increased its intensity and grew to 4 or 5 times the size of a full moon, before rapidly vanishing. This light created no sound, no heat, and no wind. It did not pulse, flash, or change colors. It merely appeared, grew larger and brighter, and then disappeared. I remained outside of my vehicle for 3 or 4 more minutes, but the light did not reappear. I got back in my car and it started. I have no damage to the car, or any other devices that were with me at the time. We spoke via telephone with the witness on two occasions, and he seemed to us to be quite eloquent, rational, and sober-minded. We suspect that he is a very good, and reliable, witness. PD

North Bangor, NY
To the west I seen a bright light appear and then disappear several times. After a few moments the object was beaming a ray of light off and on. This went on for a few minutes. My first thought was that it was a helicopter looking for marijuana crops, but thought it was odd to be looking at night for them. After several minutes, a fighter jet from the west raced to its location flying low and circled for about 45 minutes afterwards. The light had disappeared with the arrival of the jet. For the next hour after that, I watched doughnut shaped chemical trails blow across the sky.

Dryden, WA
A red white and blue light in the sky. It was just there about 60 degrees going west following the stars. Red on top, white in the middle and blue on the bottom. Then the red and blue changed position. Then it disappeared on the horizon.

Saint Cloud, FL
I was collecting the mail from the mailbox when I looked up over my house and saw a small light passing from SSW in the direction NNE direction as it was passing over us it was bigger after passing over us was getting smaller and then disappeared there was no noise coming from it either. I have seen Asteroids and Meteors and even had a chance to see a Soviet rocket booster reenter earth atmosphere and burn up. This was nothing like that none other light glowing from the sides like airplane or helicopter just a yellow perfect circle no flames no dripping fire floating pass at a high altitude.

It followed a very odd path. I live close to an airport and a military base so I am used to seeing planes and helos. If this is a helo, it can reach some pretty amazing altitude.

Hull (East Yorkshire) (UK/England) · United Kingdom
I was in my garden just putting out rubbish in my bin. I looked in the sky, and so 3 round red lights. These were spaced out but moving very erratically and seem to be zig zagging in between each other. Also moving up and down. They were moving at very high speed . They were not aircraft or drones. There was no noise to these things. I called my daughter to come and look they was very fast and seemed to play with each other also moving different directions and then going back to atriangle shape these were not planes I've never seen anything like them.

Lake Worth, FL
It was late at night and I went to walk my dog. I saw what seemed to be a shooting star over my head. The sky was clear, and I looked up in awe. It trailed over my head and all of a sudden it stopped moving. I froze and stood there with goosebumps. After about 10 seconds, all I saw was a big light from what seemed to be the back of this object, and it took off at extreme speeds. If I had blinked, I would have missed it. I swear right after I could hear a pin drop, and it started to get foggy really quick. I panicked and rushed back home. My friend came over shortly after and asked what was wrong, that I looked like I saw a ghost.

Paragould, AR
I was sitting on front porch when I thought I spotted an airplane. After periodically looking up into Easter sky I realized that the lights were sitting idle in sky and not moving. I pointed it out to my wife and went and got my binoculars. Through the binoculars it appears to have a green light, and blue light and some clear lights with a red strobe light. I called my father in law that witnessed the same with his wife. I text a co worker who said he went outside and witnessed. After 20 minutes or so, a second light source appeared and another. My in laws and I witnessed several airplanes fly in vicinity of lights. Once planes got near the red strobe lights would stop until planes were past. Over time the lights would rise in altitude and shift south. Again I saw what I first thought was a plane coming from the south, but moving really fast. It passed behind a tree and never flew from other side of tree. When looking for it to come out from behind tree I noticed it was not a plane but another one of these lights sitting now at edge of tree. We noticed a total of 8 of these lights in Easter sky. Some higher altitude than planes flying through and some lower. I witnessed this for 3 hours before going to bed.looking through binoculars, I saw a white flash across sky at about midnight. My father in law witnessed similar flash between 10:30and 11 pm. This was on 9/30. On Oct. 8, I stepped out on porch and noticed one light in Easter sky and alerted my wife to come witness it. On Oct. 9 I stepped out on porch after company left at 2am. I spotted 8 of these lights in Easter sky, one in northern sky, one in northeastern sky, one directly over my house towards the west, and one in southern sky. The southern most light on eastern sky was the lowest and closest of any we have seen. It was much over the tree tops and very bright. A called my in laws and they went out with binoculars to witness. My father in law reported seeing a bright flash across sky in direction of the brightest light. I witnessed for about an you before going to bed. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Three points of light moving in tandem across the night sky. They individually resembled a satellite but they were in close proximity in an L pattern, moving in tandem across the sky very quickly. Halfway across they started to dim and then vanished in a blink of a second.

Hi yes I did. My partner and I was taking the dog for a walk on Wednesday. I was looking up at the stars as normal and saw two moving what looked like stars in the sky. There was no noise like there would be from an aircraft. The way they moved was amazing, it looked liked they were going to crash into each other. Then they started moving zig zag, up and down but it was all really fast. Like the way a bird would move. With no limitations on the direction it wanted to go. My partner and I was watching this with our jaws dropped! Then as quick as they were moving they just vanished! I even rang the police emergency number go report it, but they just basically said that they wouldn't know who to report such a thing too. No help whatsoever. The whole incident lasted about 2 minutes. If you need any more information please do not hesitate to contact me. Or point me in the right direction as to whom I could get some answers from. Yours gratefully, ((name deleted))

Long Beach, CA
Again tonight, saw a very high-altitude craft which presents a bright white light like a strobe every minute or so. Moving about in the sky just north of me and eventually moved off north-east. Slow strobe of white light approximately 2-3 seconds duration with magnitude similar to Jupiter. Faster strobe follows in approximately 15 seconds after the first, is of less than 1/2 second duration and significantly brighter than the slow strobe. This craft may remain in one position for a time or it may move in different directions. I cannot tell if it is in our atmosphere or beyond. It makes no sound. I know of know aircraft, or space craft that behaves as this does. Have been seeing this phenomenon for over 2 years now, every couple of months or so.
