Weippe, ID
Three red blinking lights were first observed in a straight line from right to left.. In front of them were three bright white lights in the same exact distance and pattern from the red ones.. Object(s) were moving from west to east and flying towards me.. Unable to judge height or distance in the air as it was dark with a few stars showing but being over the town the building lights were making it harder to see. The object(s) were moving slowly towards me and off to my left. I called over a local official who was across the street and he witnessed them as well and was not able to identify them either. We then watched them change pattern and closed formation and moved more towards the south.. After about 2 minutes they again changed pattern to where they were flying end to end (white/ red, white/red and white/red) and began moving in a easterly direction again. We observed them for about another 2 minutes until they moved out of our view. The official then g! ot into his vehicle and followed them. Unknown what he found after that. These object(s) were in a square, diamond, and rectangle and then in a straight line pattern while maintaining the uniformity in all patterns… Also noted was there was absolutely no sound. No pictures were taken but 5 sketches have been drawn as best as I can remember. Weather: about 28 degrees, clear skies with some stars, some light haze at first when noticed the object then it moved into clearer skies.

While walking outside, I noticed a red light, and at first I thought it was a star because there were several other visible stars last night. This one however was the only red one and was blinking on and off quickly. At first I would have disregarded it as a satellite or a plane however what caught my eye was the trail or perhaps tails attached to the object. Behind it I could see two trails much like that of an airplane which were curved. The trails however were like nothing I have ever seen before. I will do my best to describe it but it is difficult without a physical drawing. Behind the dot two curved lines making it look like a semicircle was forming behind the craft. Both me and my friend saw the object as it quickly traveled across the sky but vanished in an instant. My friend was at a better angle and said it did not fade but seemed to disappear.

Springfield, OR
I had noticed a bright blue light outside my window hovering above the tree line at approx. 20:30. About an hour later, I looked outside just in time to see it arch across the sky as it fell. My first thought was that a street light fell over, but I went outside to see where this light would have been, it would be far too high for a street light.

Niles, MI
last night I was doing my daily chores, dishes, laundry, trash, ect. but when I went outside to take the trash barrel up from the curb, because I hadn't done it that morning. I saw flashing lights in the sky, and normally I wouldn't believe in supernatural activity, but when I saw the green, red, and blue, flashing lights. I knew what I saw. It definitely wasn't an airplane, or anything of that sort, because I would've been able to hear it. This spherical figure in the scy was abviously not from this planet, or whatever. before I could take out my phone it was gone . The same thing happened when I was about nine, I was in my back yard in the winter, sledding down my hill, and as I was going down I saw it, the same thing I saw yesterday, in the same spot too. at the time, I didn't pay it much mind, because it was there for a while. and I remember it vividly. until yesterday I never really thought too much about it. this morning I was talking to my little sister, Meadow, ( Seven ) about it, I asked her if she had ever seen anything like it, and what she said shocked me .. "Oh you mean my friends? They always watch me play!" I told my mom, my dad, even some of my teachers, and they all thought I was crazy.. maybe some of you have hade similar indecents? please text me/ Call me

Mobile, AL
Two pair of aircraft with twinkling red lights. Two of the craft appear to be flying in a grid pattern at a very steady rate of speed. First moving towards each other and after passing then moving away from each other. One flying east and the other west. The other two craft traveled out of view shortly after spotting them. They are located south of the Mobile Regional Airport, but do not appear anything at all like planes that are in a holding pattern, or on an approach for landing.

Olathe, KS
1 craft heading west just north of Olathe over the horizon. It was moving at what seemed to be a pretty incredible speed. There was a dim flashing light as it headed west. It then seemed to stand still and got incredibly bright as it changed directions and zipped south east over the horizon. Brightest light I have ever seen in the sky. Tried to video but was obstructed by trees. Before I could get in a better position the light zipped away. Witnesses elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I was at a friend's on January 16th. He had been trying to tell me about these lights in the sky around his home. They appear consistently every night. I never paid attention. He called me outside, and I had my first experience with this when I saw a light that was approximately 4-5 hundred yards away. It hovered, floated and was neon purple and blue. Almost like a firework in its brightness. It was absolutely silent. It changed from purple to blue. It rose up in the air above the treeline and went left about 200 yards. The, went back right. It then hovered for a while and sank below the trees. We have video of this. The next night I was home but he called me to tell me there were up to 20 orange ones, some in formation and some not. They were going into formation, then breaking away. Some were going in circles. They appear out of the middle of the sky and disappear the same way. This is a common occurence for them. I did an Internet search and several, several people saw the same thing. I am attaching video of what he saw on the 17th. It is very impressive. My question as a skeptic is why in this world, are we not trying to explain and find out with government resources what these things are? And on a side note-I went to Thailand personally and saw with my own eyes Chinese lanterns. They are not the size of small cars. And they do not move like planes. And they are easily followed with the eyes, as they rise from the earth where they are let go. And Chinese lanterns are illegal in Louisiana. Could someone please explain this?

It shot down, then disappeared out of the sky. The most bizarre strange light I have ever seen. Witnesses elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Bristol, PA
An observation of two rapidly moving steady red lights moving from west to east. An approximate calculation determined that the lights traveled 125 degrees, 70 nautical miles in 10 to 15 seconds. The objects made no sound, and moved completely parallel to each other for the entire distance. They also left no trails.

Ranburne, AL
I saw 3 lights when I was on a hill driving. I thought they were street lights, but noticed they were actually very low in the sky. They were bright orange, with no trails. They were in a formation like the upper left quadrant of a circle, I lost sight of them briefky and the formation had changed to the lower right quadrant of a circle. They were close to the northeast of the city. I lost sight of them for 5-10 minutes and there were then only 2, in a flat line to the far southeast of the city.

Gladstone, OR
Got out of my rig getting home tonight and looked across river and observed some strange reddish-orange lights dancing around above West-linn Tualatin area. Started as 3, larger than stars. Then 5 total appeared and continued to start stop and move in varying directions at varying velocities, until all but one disappeared. I get planes going in this area every 10 mins or so and after 5 & 1/2 years of living here have NEVER EVER seen anything remotely similar. The way they moved it had to have been multiple heavy duty RC helicoptors or ET????? Of course by the time I ran inside and got my big lens on they were GONE!

It is a clear night and I am certain it was not a cloud moving in front of a star. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Sorry if I forgot to include the date. I think it might have been 16th of January, but I am uncertain. I also had a third daylight sighting a few days ago but I failed to report it. Must say, three sightings is unusual in such a short time for me. Also odd, on the night of my first sighting I hit three power ball lottery numbers, almost four. Odd synchronicity. I promise to be more vigilant in the future. ((END ADDENDUM))

Bethpage, NY
As I walked outside to go to work I looked up to the South sky and saw a round white light traveling east. The light was bright and round but wider in the center traveling in an S like pattern and then suddenly disappeared. It appeared faster than a typical airplane and the sudden change of direction is inconsistent with a small meteor. The day was a cold, clear with no rain, early morning still semi dark with a clear view of the sky. Object would have been over the water on the south shore of Long Island.

Friday Harbor, WA
On Thursday evening, 1/15/15, my wife and I were driving north on Mullis Street, even with the adjacent airport north end (runway 16) less than ¼ mile from Spring Street, which is the main street of the town of Friday Harbor, Washington, on San Juan Island, USA. It was dark, 18:30, when we saw three separate bright orange lights flying over the town descending from the north east in the direction of the airport. My first impression was three aircraft on a very low approach to land at the Friday Harbor Airport. I stopped our car so we could watch, since the lights were starting to bob up and down. I said they had to be helicopters. But then they almost appeared to be going down behind the buildings in town. They stopped getting closer and suddenly started climbing at a very high speed headed back northwest. They grew dimmer, and one at a time, blinked out and were gone. The whole duration of this sighting was about two minutes. I kept trying to find an explanation for what we were seeing. I wish I had immediately reached for my I-phone to get a video. I knew they were unconventional aircraft since they didn’t have red and green navigation lights. Then the erratic flight and changing speed ruled out any aircraft I have ever seen. My wife and I are both private pilots and have flown into the Friday Harbor airport hundreds of times.

Lancaster, NH
The sighting began north of the town’s fairgrounds it was seen from a vehicle heading south on route 3. It lasted about fifteen seconds and consisted of three horizontal white lights. The lights were estimated to be three hundred feet off the ground and moved very quickly. They first appeared for two seconds then disappeared, it reappeared to the south (right) about one hundred to two hundred feet from its original spot. When it reappeared for the fourth time with a second set of lights appearing half of a second later to the right of the first set. We lost sight of the lights in the trees before we came around the corner before the fairgrounds. It was seen for the last time as we came to the clearing of the fairground, by this time it seemed to be at the same height but half to three quarters of a mile away from vehicle, and heading south. No actual shape was seen only lights. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Ann Arbor, MI
This event occurred sometime after the new year, either in January or early February of 2015, close to dusk. I observed this event while traveling southwest on Ann Arbor-Saline Rd and looking towards west-southwest. When I first noticed the event I was crossing over I-94 and continued down the road until I reached West Ellsworth Road, where I pulled into the parking lot of First Unitarian Universalist church to observe. I witnessed this event for about 20 minutes, part of the time on the phone and relaying what I was seeing to a friend. As usual in Ann Arbor, it was a cloudy day. Cloud cover was high and intermittent, with large cumulus clouds miles in the distance in the direction I was looking. While driving, I noticed 3 or 4 lights several miles towards the west-southwest. At first I thought they were planes since there are airports nearby, but as I continued to watch I noticed that the lights were moving around one another, up and down, left and right, and continuously crossing paths. The lights were white, solid, and did not blink or pulsate. Their speed of movement was not particularly remarkable. After a few minutes two more lights emerged from the clouds (cumulus clouds were a backdrop for this event) and some of these lights would circle others, or move back and forth, while some would stay still. Occasionally, one light would fade away (into the clouds?) and another light would appear nearby. I watched these lights, which stayed generally in the same area of the sky during this time, until one by one they faded away and were no longer visible. I do not know if what I witnessed was planes or similar aircraft flying in some formation, or if these were truly UFO/UAP. It is important to note that during this event I did see several planes in the sky with their familiar blinking lights, however they, for the most part, moved uni-directionly and most planes would appear and disappear comparatively swiftly to the lights.
