I automatically wake up to find him pointing in the sky "look!!" I look over my right side to find 4 lights beaming and moving left then right so smooth I am convince it's not a plane! One disappears into the distance then heads higher in sky. The three other lights are still there still as can be then at the same smooth pace they vanish heading towards the hill and deeper into the sky as the other one that had taken off first left straight up into the sky in a instant.

Ste-Brigitte de Laval (Canada), QC · Canada
This event occured on the night of February 15th at approximately 2h30 in the morning. Roughly one week later this incident, I've decided to openly talk about it, even if I don't feel really comfortable talking about it. I am a 47 year old guy, living by myself. My house is located in the northern area of Sainte-Brigitte de Laval, a small and calm town located at about 40 kilometers from Quebec City. This is a really calm area without any neighbors. It's basically a dead end. The house is surrounded by forest, mainly pines and regular trees. This is not a suburb. This is the woods. The house cannot be seen from the street and there is no street lamps nearby. To reach my house, I need to take my private access road (less than 100m). At night, the whole property is pitch black as I hate leaving the exterior security lights on all night long. Since I had bear issues in the past, I installed four motion detection halogen flood lamps that are pointing at each corner. I live there alone. My typical weekend night is to watch movies on my laptop computer in my bed. I also drink a few beers, maybe half a six pack. I normally start watching the first one at 9 PM. When I feel like watching a second one, I start it right away. If I don't fall asleep and I feel like it, I'll watch a third one. But sometimes I'm too tired and fall asleep during a movie. That's what happened the night of the incident. I started the first movie at 10:30. Nothing unusual. Did not feel sleepy at all. The movie ended at 12:30. Perfect for a second movie. I started it right away. It was a long movie and if I closed my eyes, I would fall asleep almost instantly. The movie was so boring... Eventually, I felt asleep for good and woke up during the ending credits. I tried to rewind the movie back to the moment when I fell asleep. But I kept falling asleep and waking up. Then I woke up and my laptop has died (forgot to plug it to its power supply). There was no lights on inside or outside the house so I tried to grab my phone and use it as a flashlight: couldn't find it. Then I saw what I can describe as a flash of bright yellow and white light outside the window. My heart started racing because I've never seen lights other than my motion dection lights over there. Since my bedroom window is looking at my backyard, this could be a city truck or any truck with rotating yellow strobes. Plus I did not hear any sound. I approached the window and looked closer. For a split second, the flash or light came back and all 4 motion detection lights powered up at the same time. I rapidly checked out every window of every corner of the house but couldn't see anything that was moving. Needless to say, my heart was beating hard and fast. I went to check out if all the exterior doors were locked when the motion detection lights turned off. Checked out the time on the microwave oven, it was 2:30. I could regain my bed and put my laptop aside. Trying to figure out what could have caused this, I fell asleep again. I was too tired. Then, it happened. I could describe it exactly like when you stare at the sun or a bright light with your eyes closed. You can see a reddish-orange glow even when your eyelids are closed. I was awoken by the bright light that was covering my entire home. My eyes seemed sealed shut but I could see a powerful red-orange glow through the eyelids. At first, I though that I was dreaming so I did not bother opening my eyes. Rapidly after, when I began to see dark figures blocking the light for a second or two, I woke up and realized that I was not dreaming and that my entire house was indeed lit by an unknown light source. I could hear what I can describe as a humming noise that I could not hear with my ears, much like a vibration my head was picking up. I then opened my eyes and was shocked to realize that there was three short humanoid beings, about 4 foot tall, with big heads, big slanted black eyes, a slit for a mouth and a really thin neck, all surrounding my bed and staring at me. Their arms, hands and fingers were long and slim. I was terribly scared, and felt like every hair of my body had risen. I tried not to look at them because their head traumatized me. I couldn't stop looking at them in fear. The last thing I remember is hearing a high pitched noise inside my head and then, nothing, gone, it's the morning already. Looked outside and noticed that snow in my backyard is now lower (at least 1 feet). My experience induced me great fear but now I know what many people have been through. I am currently not okay with what happened, so for now I stay in a motel room until I am ready to go back.

Me and my friend were on our way back to her house and while on route 5 in Ravenna before west branch out of nowhere this blue white light flew up in the sky and disappeared. Almost shooting star like but way bigger. My friend has seen multiple shooting stars but nothing like this. I also haven't seen anything like this before either.

I pulled my phone out to record a video, but it didn't happen again. The lights flashed like heat lightning would, but it wasn't a white light. It was a blue-green flash and then a red flash.

Indianapolis (northwest part), IN
I am a local Indiana Truck Driver. I and a co-worker who is our company's safety officer were driving south bound on I-465 at, or around, mile marker 43, when we both saw an intense flash of light at the horizon line that looked to be no more then 300 meters ahead of us. We saw two flashes, and brake lights were everywhere on the freeway at the time. My passenger and I thought it was a transformer that blew, or some massive electrical issue with the power lines, but once we got to where we thought we could see the flashes coming from, there was no sign of any power outage. It was very peculiar. Two very intense flashes of light that resembled balls of electricity.

Windsor County, VT
For the last 3-4 nights, I am awakened with a very strong beam of light coming through a window in the ceiling of my condo. It lasts about 3-5 minutes, and then seems to move off. I have not contacted Manager of condo, which I will do. (( We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he corrected the time and date, which we have amended above. The witness describes himself as a former sebuir military officer, with a great deal of time in service. The witness added that the light appeared to be like the shaft of light from a flashlight, and adds that it was bright enough to wake him up from a condition of sound sleep. PD))

Blackshear, GA
Around 8:15 PM, more or less, on January 3, 2015, we noticed a white flashing light, like a strobe light in the night sky over Blackshear, Georgia. The light had a star-like appearance. The light seemed to move erratically, in small jumps with components perpendicular to the direction of general motion, which was north to south. It almost seemed as if the flashes were confined to a small area around the apparent center of motion. The flashes got to about 25 degrees above the SSE horizon, and then swung back towards a generally northerly direction, moving with the same erratic motion. When the flashes got to the northern part of the sky, the apparent source suddenly accelerated and disappeared in a northerly direction.

My first thought was that helicopters were flying in formation with flashing Christmas lights. (Because it's Christmas time.) Then I realized one at a time was becoming invisible. So the helicopter theory went out the window. A car drove up to us and asked us, are they UFO's. We said "I think so". They said yeah, they are UFO's. Then one UFO remained visible and bright. Finally it disappeared too. Hardly anyone noticed except for the guys in the car that called out to us. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Aloha, OR
Driving in my car sitting on 198th facing tv hwy at the light. Saw what looked like a shooting star, but then it paused in the sky, and looked like it went into hyper speed. Hard to describe, but definitely not a shooting star. When it paused and then blasted off, there was a flash of light just before it was gone. Never scene anything like that and could not find anything online that would explain it. Something out of movie.

Powhatan, VA
I was following behind my fiance in my car, going west on Route 60 through Powhatan. We had just entered the county line. It was dark and cloudy outside with a good amount of wind and a slight drizzle. We both saw a huge bright blue flash from above the clouds that turned red towards the north part of the sky. It looked like an explosion from behind the clouds. I turned my music off and listened for a boom or sound and it was silent. This happened 20 minutes ago and there are no thunderstorms or severe weather in the area.

Gainesville, FL
My wife and I were in our condo tending to our son. Both of were in separate locations inside of the dwelling. I was watching college football, while she was in one of the bedrooms folding clothes. The event was a flash, similar to what is seen when a light bulb burns out, except it was uniform. Both of us saw a flash which didn't seem to come from anywhere inside the house, and didn't seem to come from a uniform area of outside. It looked to me like it came from the south side, while to her it looked like it came from the north side of the house. Went outside to identify anything that could have made the uniform flash, and could find nothing. We have trees in our rear lot, and a brick wall in the front, but the flash seemed to be uniform, unobstructed by these objects.
