Rumford, RI
I was having a cup of coffee at my kitchen table, and went out to look at the stars. I found the Big Dipper and was looking at that. Suddenly a white light, a little larger than a star, streaked across the whole Big Dipper and disappeared. I would've thought it was a shooting star, but its path swerved down and then up during its flight, as if to dodge an object. The swerve was quite pronounced. I have no measuring tool except the constellation itself, by which to measure the swerve. It took up about one eighth of the size of the constellation. Of the other shooting stars I have seen have had a straight path. It vanished.

I was on my porch looking out and a bright white object flew by. I thought it must be a meteor, but it realized it was going parallel to the horizon. It was steady, fast moving and silent and didn’t seem to be too high up. It wasn’t as high as a plane would be. I ran out to try and get more of a look, but it disappeared into the tree line.

These were orange, looked like a dominant star, such as Venus or North Star but a little more intense and they were pulsating. When I first saw them they were spread out rather widely, almost in a formation like the Big Dipper, then one by one they started to fade and disappear. Finally three of them were left and they were almost in a straight line across from each other, then one faded away and then the others. I just happened to see them when I took my dogs outside. There were no engine sounds like an airplane, they didn't have any sound. This was above the Washington Narrows in Bremerton, Washington, between the Manette and Warren Street Bridges area that I saw them. They looked to be at least the level of the clouds above.

Walking down the road i saw a shooting star. Then a few mins later i saw another, after the second i saw what i thought was a star, it didn't fade it didnt lose shape just kept moving, the light kept a speed faster to the planes u unusually see at night, it also had no other lights onn it, it changed direction at the snap of fingers, kept moving till my eeyes lost track, but as i was loosing sight a notherof the same lights started moving in another direction, i paused trying to keep track of both, in doing soi lost them entirely. Looked like star a light but didnt move like one, didnt pulse, moved till it blended inn too the black, like as if moving away, after i lost track of them then i waited too see if they would reshow them selves, but i did see another shooting star,

Looking south, I observed a very fast moving light diving towards the horizon. The object then veered sharply upwards and disappeared. Maybe it was a meteorite but the sharpness of the turn and the absence of a vapour trail was unusual.

Burlington, NC
My wife and I, on the night of Dec 11th, around 9 PM to about 10 PM, watched a formation of lights. We live north of Burlington, NC. The lights were to the south southeast at about 4 o’clock high. They moved around slightly and in a tight formation and were flickering. I watched one drop down a ways then went back up to the others. They stayed in the same place all the time. I called the sheriff’s office and reported it. They said they had no other reports but would look into it. Never heard back from them. We know what we saw were not airplanes. Not unless the fly in one place for almost an hour. No doubt they were very high up. Then all of a sudden, they disappeared. Bound to have been seen by others. Thanks

Markesan, WI
Driving home, noticed brighter than a normal light in sky. It was dark out and the stars were shining. The light was kind of oval and came on and then went off. Then a little ways to the right another light of same shape and size came on and went off. Then another and another. In a pattern, 4 total. If a star looks like the size of a nail head these looked more like a small plate that is used under a coffee cup. The lights were not real white, but more amber in color. I waited a little and the same thing happened but they seemed a little farther away. These lights kept going on and off for a while. After they stopped I continued on my way home. I turned the corner and kept my eyes on my rear view mirror. I looked out to the west of the car and the lights were back. I stopped the car and watched as they did the same thing, but this time one of them turned on and there were about 4 other lights in the same area. The lights did this for at least 5 minutes.

So, we were driving on interstate 65, getting off by the Galleria, on the fly over and me, (the passenger) notice 4 white streaks of light that seemed to be floating and i called my friend who was in the car in front of us and asked if she saw them, and at that time, there were now only 3 lights and we all saw the same streaks of white light that seemed to be moving but in no particular fashion and then one disappeared and the 3 remaining began to scatter and they were moving toward the bessemer/tuscaloosa area.

Le 11 décembre 2014 à 3h35 un témoin ferme sa fenêtre lorsqu'il observe trois points lumineux équidistants. C'est ce point précis qui intrigue le témoin, et lui fait penser à une observation particulière. Apeurée, elle ne regardera de nouveau le ciel que vers 3h50 mais les points auront disparu. Aucun autre témoignage n'est enregistré. D’étrangeté et de consistance faibles, ce cas s'avère être une méprise possible avec les trois étoiles composant l’astérisme dit de la Ceinture d’Orion. Malheureusement, le manque de données (direction précise d’observation, espacement angulaire entre les points du PAN) et l’état de peur du témoin au moment de l’observation empêchent toute exploitation utile du cas. Ce cas est classé C, cas non identifiable par manque de données, bien qu’une méprise avec les étoiles de la Ceinture d’Orion soit possible. [GEIPAN classification C — Manque d'informations fiables]

Flagler, CO
Myself and one other witness observed a single light in the sky, which grew brighter over a period of about 5 seconds before it expanded into multiple lights composing a straight line of individual lights. Said lights then reformed a single ball of bright light before fading out. This then repeated 4 separate times in different locations in the sky before stopping. No sounds accompanied the lights and no sounds followed. Appearance very similar to military aircraft defence flares to begin with but vastly different in behavior after initial flash.

Merigold, MS
My mother told me she had awaken to go to the rest room and upon her return to bed, saw a bright light outside her window. She said the whole yard was lit up and could not figure out why. She got her gun and went outside. She said she saw a large object in the sky with lights going around it vertically. She said she watched it disappear in the sky. My mother is 79 and although my brother and others make fun of her, I believe she was telling the truth. I have never known my mother to lie and I know that sounds untrue, the woman is a saint! My question is what was it looking for and will it return? In this area she lives in, my cell phone dies or lose a signal easily I have notices. This is out in a rural area which would make sense as to why a ufo would want to go there and be undetected.

I seen two blinking lights in the north, one directly above the other. They blinked from really bright to dark. The top one blinked quickly straight down then shot up at a diagonal to the left. They then appeared again above one and another. Then disappeared after 10 seconds.

Arvada, CO
Just went outside to bring the trash out in my neighborhood. Happen to notice a amber gold light that was heading south towards Lakewood. The light was right over my house here in town, and flew overhead above me. This was not a commercial type plane or such. As I watched the light/object continue on a southern heading, it began to take on another color. It changed into a solid "Red Ball!", about the size of dime in distance! The light now was a round ball of solid red light. Not only did it change color, it was moving slower and began pulsating on and off! I remember back in 2000 when my parents and I went down to visit the then first of it's kind here CO, The UFO Watchtower in the Valley! That was the first time my father and I had seen such light of this nature! It was just like the one we had seen down in Hooper in 2000.This "Red Ball" of light is always haunting to see! I always see this type of UFO here in CO. Whatever it is,it is not ours. And it is intelligent. Tonight was not the first time I have seen the "Red Ball" of light. During the earlier part of this year in Feb,I had witnessed several "Red Balls" of light. In Feb., the lights were in a Triangle formation here in Arvada. Heading West toward Golden. I had made my report and contacted this site about it.I am just amazed how I can be in the right place at the right time to catch a good view of these lights. Lucky I am. I also have been reading Messages by Stan Romanek! And he too, has seen lights just like the ones I see. I guess this makes me wonder, what the heck are these lights doing? And why here in CO period!! Not sure! But can say this,whatever they are,they move like nothing we have! And disappear just as they appear as fast as they do! I know I will keep looking up and keep on reporting to better help all other investigators in getting to the bottom of what these lights are.

Bright Neon Orange light 20feet above tree level, horizon oval like sphere like object. We wonder whether the report may be a hoax. The witness, who elects to remain anonymous, provides defective contact information. PD

Worcester, MA
I couldn't sleep yesterday night after a long night in a wedding, and at about 3:05AM, while I was looking into the sky from my bed where I have a window facing the sky, I saw a very bright white ball about the size of a gulf ball in the sky appearing suddenly from no where and zooming extremely fast and the disappearing within probably not more than 200 milliseconds. This was very strange and i never seen anything like it. it did not have any trace behind it. I usually see many air planes from the same windows every night and the speed of the planes are no where near the speed of the white ball that i saw. The planes usually take 1 to 1.5 minutes to travel between the start and end of my windows and the white ball took within 200 ms time. I thought i was sleepy but i was fully awake and was very strange event. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Mountain City, TN
On the night of 12/7, as I was leaving work, I saw a light that I initially thought was a plane moving north from a southwesterly direction. My daughter was also standing on the porch with me, and we had watched several planes in the few minutes we were outside. I called her attention to the light being a single clear light with none of the normal aircraft lights. The light then turned from its seeming northward trajectory and began moving quickly away to the east. It only remained visible for another 3-4 seconds however before being gone. There were other planes clearly visible in the same area including one that came from the exact easterly direction immediately after the light had gone, however that plane suddenly turned back and went back to the east again, a highly unusual thing for aircraft that we normally witness in the skies above NE Tn. I would really like to just know if you have any information from that night of the military chasing an object in this area please, as I have been perplexed since that night. Any information would be so greatly appreciated. Thanks much

At first I thought it was a helicopter with its spot light on but there was no sound and my wife said is was a plane and yelling at me to come inside lol, but as I looked on and as it got closer the light made a sharp turn. And the bright light was heading east, when it just disappeared. I told my wife, she at first didn't believe me but she saw that the light was gone and couldnt see it at all.

I looked up and there was a ball of light floating in the garage. It scared me and I felt that I scared it also. Then it went right through the wall. I ran outside to watch it shoot into the sky at what you could say looked like the speed of light. I am now a believer. . . In what I don't know but there is something going on.

Racine, WI
Racine, Wisconsin. USA. December 6, 2014, late evening (approx 9 to 11 pm) View from ground to point of light located in southeast direction approx. 35 degree angle above horizon. Observed for two hours, very clear night, point moving very slowly toward south, almost appeared stationary. Used small telescope and binoculars. Point of light changing colors like an LED through full spectrum. Certainly no “UFO” behavior such as rapid acceleration or change in direction. Just a very bright, color-shifting point of light. Moved so slowly must have been very distant or perhaps something more nearby but very small and odd. Hope to see a reasonable explanation in tomorrow’s newspaper – maybe Santa’s sleigh?? Possible sighting of star, Sirius?? PD
