Roseburg, OR
Very fast moving bright light moving towards what looked to be the ground. It had a flashing blue or red light. It was moving so fast, I could not tell which color was flashing. But I did see both colors. Never seen something move so fast before. It was there and gone in a blink of an eye. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

A purple light started hovering above and moved left to right in a slow motion then slowly started hovering in a zig zag pattern heading towards City of Los Angeles, While object was moving towards LA it changed its light to bright red for about 3 seconds then went back to purple and continued on its way, there was no sound heard while it was hovering we tried taking a video of it but it was so dark and high up it can barely be seen on the phone.

I've been gazing at the stars my whole life , I'm 33 , and never saw this before. At 12am I saw many, what looked like typical stars but looked closer than usual which got my attention and as I watched I saw them slightly adjust their position in the sky. I saw 1 single yellowish one to the east adjust up , down, left and right. Then another 2 off far to the left one bigger than the other, moving the same way almost battling each other but never switching sides, almost like they were playing pong. Then noticed to more sets on different parts of the sky, at least 12 set up in a triangular shape with smaller ones inside the formed shape, then 3 more in a straight line up and down very slowly moved across the east to north. Don't believe me, just stare at the sky tonight, you'll ((deleted)) be surprised.))

Dublin, OH
The time was the beginning the half time of Michigan State Oregon about 11:00 on September 12, 2015. I was walking the dog in Dublin, Ohio, and saw 4-5 individual red lights with slight orange rim in a group ( in somewhat of a line) moving south. They appeared to be at an elevation similar to a small airplane (1000-2000 feet) and travelling about the same speed. I was listening for sound of a propeller or jet engine, but there was no sound. As they slowly disappeared in the distance heading south another single light (same color) approached from the same direction as the others and on the same path. It continued to the south until disappearing.

Le dimanche 13 septembre 2015 entre 21h05 et 21h15 un témoin est intrigué par l'apparition et la disparition à trois reprises d'un phénomène lumineux sphérique et de couleur jaune pâle dans le ciel dégagé. Le phénomène fait des mouvements erratiques et aucun bruit particulier n'est entendu. Une vidéo d'une durée de 1'34 a été faite par le témoin. Bien qu'accompagné par une autre personne dans son observation, un seul témoignage sera receuilli. Compte tenu des éléments recueillis dans le compte rendu d'enquête(voir document joint), à savoir : - la couleur jaune et rouge-jaune identique à celle de lanternes. - la luminosité comparable à celle d'une étoile très brillante. - la forme décrite comme sphérique. - le comportement identique à celui d’objets soumis à un vent nul ou faible : déplacement dans le sens du vent dominant et montée causée par l'air chaud. - la durée d’observation compatible avec la durée de vie des lanternes. - la date : un dimanche soir, compatible avec celle propices à l’organisation de lancers de lanternes à l’occasion de célébrations. - le nombre compatible avec celui de lanternes lancées en quantité, de façon successive. - la disparition causée par l'extinction des lanternes. - l'absence de bruit. - la présence à proximité d'installations propices aux lancers de lanternes, situées dans la direction d'observation des témoins. Le GEIPAN classe ce cas en « B » comme observation probable de lanternes Thaïlandaises. Le témoin, informé de cette hypothèse, l’a réfutée : comme il en a déjà lancées, il en connaît l’aspect. Mais il faut bien se rendre compte que l’aspect d’une lanterne thaï vue de loin n’a rien à voir avec la vue que l’on a en les lançant. Le GEIPAN n’a pas lancé d’enquête locale pour retrouver les auteurs éventuels de ce lâcher. Ce type d’enquête n’est lancé que pour les lâchers de nombreuses lanternes à l’occasion de fêtes importantes, assez faciles à retrouver. Les petits lâchers peuvent être faits à l’occasion d’événements mineurs privés (anniversaires, ou essais) très difficiles à repérer en milieu urbain. [GEIPAN classification B — Lanterne thai]

Glen Mills, PA
My husband called me outside. I saw 6 very bright orange lights moving slowly and quietly across the sky. My husband said there were more before I came outside. They didn't look to be in any formation and I could not tell what shape they were. They each just looked like a big very bright orange light. They passed slowly but one by one they disappeared. I went inside and a few minutes later I went back out. There were now 4 in the sky, even lower than the ones before. Again, slowly moving across the sky until they disappeared.

I was on my poarch looking at the stars. All of the sudden one of them starting moving. It moved and suddenly stopped. Then started moving again and faded into nothing. It looked just like a star at first.

Orange Gold in color, multi lights that moved east in a strait line with some wobble. there was low cloud cover and was hard to tell if lights where moving in and out of clouds or did they just turn off and on slowly. It second time I seen these lights, other time was 07/04/15 moving south.

Walked out to the hot tub last night and noticed a strange orange very bright light traveling north west out of Hackettstown, New Jersey, towards the Lake Tranquility area, called the wife out to view this strange light, and to our amazement at least 19 more travel right above us, no sound, and so brilliant it was hard to look at, the home next door had a party and the people began to come out on the deck to view it as well. This same event happened about 3 years ago, except these light where much brighter. Very Very Strange indeed!!!!!

Decatur, MS
I was watching planes fly overhead this morning when I noticed one plane in particular flying lower than the others and much faster with a thick white contrail/chemtrail behind it. It began to change course, curving to the right. Mid-curve it appeared as if some shining object was either released from it or appeared from above it and slowly moved to the left, sometimes wavering slightly to the right and then back again to the left. It then slowly floated up, disappearing into a cloud. I tried to look up any similar phenomena but can't find any reports like it.

My husband and I were out in our back yard at 10:30 pm talking. I was facing south and he north. It was dark. All of a sudden I see this very bright redish orangeish ball of light come up and over my neighbors house flying very fast and very silently. It flew from south to north and made absolutely no noise. Not a plane or a helicopter. We've never seen anything like it. Maybe a drone? I don't think so. It flew a completely straight line, not wavering from it's path at all. We watched for about a minute and a half until it was behind some trees.

Pace, FL
Two red lights floating slowly and silently above Pace, FL, they were heading southwest toward Pensacola. Their altitude was not discernible nor was their actual speed. After about 4 to 5 minutes the first light dimmed and went out. Then shortly thereafter, the second light went out as well.

Grand Rapids, MI
Sitting on porch with husband. We both saw a bright round white light fly quickly through the sky and low. The light was very bright and did not flash at all. There was no sound at all and close enough where if it was a helicopter or plane, we would have heard the noise. Very little cloud coverage, mild temperature, and very little wind. Because it was at night, we were unable to see if there was a trail left behind. No meteor showers at this time.

Bagley, WI
Just going outside looking at the stars when I seen a star moving up down left and right and stopped then did the same thing, I thought it was my eyes playing tricks on me so I stood very still and it moved, how it was moving definitely wasn't a holicopter, to make it clear I don't believe in UFOS but what I saw made me believe, but nothing special happened just it moved like no aircraft I know and I've seen a lot of aircrafts, it was a light it went a tint orange enough to tell it was changing colors just white and a tint orange, the back round was between 2 trees and it was clear but I think there was some clouds I was to focused on the light moving and yes it was in the sky far but enough to see.

Waldoboro, ME
Four of us were outside on a deck, looking at the unobstructed night sky, when a circular red light in the distance started moving back and forth at apparently great speeds. It began to make 45 degree turns before returning to its original position in the southeast, off the coastline of Maine. After watching it for about 10 minutes, the light suddenly vanished and did not reappear there or elsewhere in the sky. I'm not very good at judging distances but I would guess it was about three miles off the coast, and about 5,000 feet from the ground.

lights way up looks like sattelites but multiple grouped together in a semi circle seeming to move north or out since lights are fading ...but it looked like the stars were moving in formation...many of our neighbors and kids watched it pass overhead and move to the north spread out roughly oblong formation horizontly

I looked out my door and I was watching a few blinking lights that I had noticed towards Russellville and I seen this big ball of green light with a sort of trail of green light behind it just shoot twords the ground. It only lasted a second or two. I guess it was sort of southwest in the direction it was going but it was moving very fast and it didn't look like it was stopping until it hit the ground. I seen this from Littleville, which is only about 10 miles from Russellville.

There is a white light and it has a flashing green and red light with it (similar to airplanes). The steady white light stays for hours and then slowly moves it way north and lower in the sky. This object has been out for the last few weeks. Just after sunset ( right above where the sun sets) if 90 degrees is straight up then this would be about 60 degrees in the western sky after a while it moves northward barely moving at all. My question is what could it be? It is not a planet nor star and not a plane actually planes are much lower in the sky I live about 8 miles north of Boston on the coast and some time the flight path is over my house. My best guess is it appears to be about 30-40 thousand feet in the air. What could it be? Any guesses?

Started with my mom driving home from work. She saw a bright blue object in this sky told me about it when we got home. She tried taking pictures of the ufo and after she took them her iphone went dead despite having 50% battery. When she plugged it in the pictures where changed after a brief charge the phone came back on at 53%. After I heard this i told her go to a place where i can see it. I brought my 20x80 binoculars and my dslr with a zoom lens. I got five pictures before my mom wanted to leave since we where parked in a lot. When I looked at it with my binoculars I saw a intense bright blue but i saw what looked like 2 sides. Just like the one one your site from 9/1 in PA. My mom said she saw different colors, but she can't recall which. It did not move at all during this time despite being near sunrise I did not see no light reflection from the sun like planes have when they fly into the upper atmosphere, so this thing must of been far away, but low.

Saskatoon (Canada), SK · Canada
Awakened by a noise, I looked outside our bedroom window, which faces south. The source of the noise turned out to be the voices of a couple walking on the sidewalk in front of the house, but I immediately noticed a large orange light off in the distance to the southeast over the couple’s heads. At first, I thought it was the moon. The light was about as large as a new crescent moon and the color of a rising harvest moon. Then I saw that it was moving, from east to west. I wondered if it might be an aircraft. It’s apparent height and speed and its flight path were similar to the police plane that patrols over the freeway south of the city. However, this light had no navigation lights and was much larger than any aircraft I have seen passing by at that angle above the horizon, near or far. I strained to listen for any sort of aircraft sound, either the propeller noise if a small aircraft of the distant roar of jet engines, but all I could hear through the open window were the voices of the couple walking by. Otherwise, the night was dead silent. Because the light was so unfamiliar looking, I couldn’t tell how far away it might be. As the light continued on it’s path, reaching about south of my position, I noticed that it was pulsating or perhaps had started pulsating, going from very dim to very bright about once per second. At its dimmest it was still plainly visible and at its brightest it was quite a bit brighter than the ISS would be. A few seconds later, it became obscured by a tree in front of the house. By that time I had probably been watching it for about half a minute. Although I could occasionally see the light through gaps in the branches, it took about half a minute for it to emerge back into unobstructed view. It continued on the same path, still pulsating from bright to dim about once per second. I watched it for about another half a minute or more, until I lost sight of it behind neighbors’ trees to the southwest. A few seconds before it went behind the trees, I thought that it might be turning slightly to the northwest, but I couldn’t be sure. Whatever it was, it wasn’t an aircraft. Its flight path was too steady and fast and it looked too far away to be a Chinese lantern, although I can’t rule that out entirely. The couple walking on the sidewalk appeared to be unaware of the light. I looked at the clock and saw that the time was 1:35 a.m. Before going back to bed, I pushed my face close to the window to look over as much of the sky as possible. I wanted to see if any stars were visible, because at that hour it almost seemed as if the sky might be overcast (it gets hard to tell these days as our growing city emits more light pollution). The sky was somewhat hazy, but the brightest stars were visible overhead through our urban skyglow. With no cloud cover, the light could have been any distance away.

We were looking at what appear to be stars then we realized they were moving. One slowly faded out followed by the second. They came back super bright and disappeared.
