Dartmouth (Canada), NS · Canada
Some were moving straight up into the sky and at least 4 of the lights were in a linear formation very close and moving in unison. I stayed and watched for at least 10 minutes and went back out to look and most are gone but some remain. Doesn't seem to be any pattern or shape of the lights.

Around 9pm Friday night, my fiancée, 6 month old daughter, and I were coming home from the store. We were headed north on 71st street when we came to the red light on Greenfield Avenue. I was looking straight ahead when I saw a teal-ish point of light zoom out from above the roof and tree tops heading west towards the lake. I jokingly said, "UFO!" It was moving really freely and fast, like a fast-paced teal satellite. The way it moved stood out to me, but I still thought nothing strange of it. Suddenly, it made a really sharp, tight U-turn without changing speed or anything and without any effort and went back the way it came. I said to my fiancée, "Did you see that?" He saw it too. He said that maybe it was a remote controlled airplane? We wanted to follow it but we were still stopped at the light. Since the light we were at was a long one and no traffic was coming, we contemplated going through the light to see where this teal light went but didn't since there was a cop parked down the block. A few seconds before the light changed green, the teal light came back. I was only to keep track of it for a few seconds more until it got lost behind the houses and tress moving past. I have no idea what I saw, but I've never seen any aircraft with that color light before nor have I ever seen anything make such dramatic turns with no effort at all.

My fiance, 6 month old daughter, and I were coming home from Target, driving down a residential street, when we came to the stop light. Looking down the street, I saw a point of green light come into view from behind the houses. I jokingly said "UFO!" Then as suddenly the light turned around with no effort or change in speed and went back from where it came. We almost blew the stop light to see where it went since it disappeared behind the houses but we noticed a cop car down the street. About 5 or 10 seconds later while we're still at the light, the green light came racing back. I lost sight of it once the car started moving. To me the green light I saw moved in such a smooth, careless way. It changed direction in almost the blink of an eye...as if someone was playing with a laser pointer.

Franklin, WI
We saw one light in the sky. It started out a bright blue and was stopped midair. Then the light turned off and it turned into a flashing green light as it moved sideways. Then it turned into a bright blue light and moved back the other direction that it came from. The light turned off again and turned into a smaller white flashing light. Then it flew off quickly.

West Roxbury, MA
The objects were lights, circular, moving in a set pattern in the sky. They would meet at a point, spread out, rotate 45 degrees, then meet again at the same point. There were 4 lights. They were a sort of translucent white, like searchlights. I saw them on my way home from the train. Several other people in the neighborhood - commuters & people walking their dogs - also saw and commented on the lights. I do not believe in intelligent aliens seeking to observe, explore, or contact Earth and do not believe in UFO sightings, but the paranormal has always interested me and I have found no logical explanation for the lights.

St. Johns River, FL
I am veteran that has seen many night flights of helicoptors and their attack patterns, which is why I thought as this light was weaving from west to east and repeating was a helicopter. I started to see this light right after I had gotten onto north/east bound 417 from the Aloma on ramp. This light peaked my interest as there was not any other cars in the immediate area. As i drove it was bounding back and forth in a weaving pattern over 417. As I approached the bridge, the light went out of view. I thought it the helicopter went out of sight, but as I looked out over the bridge, the light was almost on the water with how low it was it I couldn't take my eyes off ot it. Then in a flash it darted toward the north shoreline still hugging the water. Up to this point, I still thought it to be a helicopter, but when the light kept its pace straight into the trees flickered brighter and was gone. As this happened I started to yell myself I didn't see this, this did not just happen, but I can't forget it. Thanks for being anonymous. I needed to say something and it helps.

When they left, they left rapidly and blinked out. Been coming for little over a week now. Along Highway 77. We suspect that the lights may have been advertising lights, but we cannot confirm our suspicion by contacting the witness, since he provides no contact information. PD

It disappeared and one directly left to where it was light up for 1 second. The second one turned off then another directly left of it turned on. The third one turned off and then nothing else.

Whatever was falling from the sky was falling, leaving a trail of cloud or smoke. I saw a really bright oddly shaped cloud that was kind of hook shaped, then I noticed it was getting longer but fixed in the sky. It kept getting longer. And I realized whatever it was, it was falling. Then I see a jet make a large circle and head toawards it and i saw and additional 3 aircrafts flight in from the north chasing it and i followed them as best i could but they disappeared in the horizon with the sunset and traffic. They were chasing whatever was falling from the sky torward the east of where i was. Oh and as i got closer to what i originally throught was a very bright oddly shaped cloud in the distance it was very cloud looking but the trail it left as it was falling to the ground was pretty fixed. Photo appears to show contrails behind a/c. PD

Greenfield, IN
My sister and I were in our car at a stop sign at our local Walmart. In the sky before us was a bright light that seemed to be staying still or maybe hovering. My sister asked, bewildered, "Is that a light or a very bright star?" The sky was very dark and there were no visible stars at the time. Then, the light started going upwards at a slow speed and we turned, heading home. We were staring at it, turning our heads and craning our necks, just as it shot up into the air and the light was gone. We were thinking it was a UFO.

While driving southbound I saw two points of light like stars above Bayview. They appeared for around 10 seconds or so and then vanished. They didn't fade in or fade out or anything, just appeared and vanished. Confirmed as a morning sighting. PD

La Junta, CO
We were traveling on US 50, between Rocky Ford, Colorado, and La Junta, Colorado. A low flying light began to appear and get brighter and brighter, then another light about a hand length apart from the first light appeared in the same manner, and another. The first light then went out and another appeared. There were a total of 4-5 lights that were not all on at the same time. They lit up one after the other. They were yellowish white and smaller than a full moon, but at max intensity were brighter than a train light. They appeared for about 6-8 seconds. No pattern, and low, because I could see them through the windshield of the car. My wife had seen the same lights about 5 minutes prior close to Rocky Ford. She said that they had came on and disappeared so quickly that she had not mentioned them because she thought she was seeing things. I then realized that they were traveling east and I asked my wife and daughter to continue to look as we drove east. Then, we turned to go to North La Junta and I had them continue to look east. About 5 minutes had passed and we arrived at our destination. We were in a prairie area with a huge view of the sky. I told them that if there are mysterious lights we will see them. As we began to walk into our destination they appeared again low in the east, smaller and farther away. One light came on at a time and 5-7 lights came on and disappeared closer together than before. (They probably appeared closer together because they were farther away.) They seemed to be traveling about the speed of a helicopter. I told the family that if they were helicopters they were communicating with each other and to turn on lights one after the other. Also, they were traveling away from us, yet the lights seemed to be facing us and could get very bright. We did not hear any sound at any time.

Naperville, IL
On December 1, 2014, at approximately 11:35 p.m., over Naperville, Il 60540. It was located in the eastern sky slightly above Jupiter’s position. My husband and I witnessed an extremely bright, white, blinking light that was far brighter than anything else in the sky. The object was stationary, and occasionally a second light would appear in close proximity to the first light and then disappear. The object was bright enough that it illuminated all the cloud cover. We used the Google Sky application, thinking it could be Jupiter and found that Jupiter was below. We were able to identify everything else Google Sky was showing us and this object was not among any identified objects. We continued to watch the object for ten minutes and then went back inside.

A bright light appeared in the sky, started moving south slowly then it moved really fast. Light seemed blurred from overcast sky.

Prescott, AZ
As I was driving on the west-most side of the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Prescott campus, I saw light in my peripheral vision and quickly looked up to my left out the driver's side window. I saw a strange grouping of three soft white lights moving at a VERY high speed flying east straight overhead over the campus. The strangest thing was that I hadn't heard any roar of engines or a sonic boom from the speed. I called an associate, who I knew was out walking nearby, to ask if he'd heard or seen anything, and he denied that he had. It didn't look like any of our planes, and I called the flight supervisor ~21:06 to ask about any planes on the radar, and he said they hadn't tracked anything. The grouping of the lights suggested either a chevron shape, or a formation that was very precisely close at such a high speed. I will assume it was rather close to the ground, as I only saw it for a few seconds before it was gone over the dorms, and the lights were roughly the size of a child's size fast food drink lid held at arm's length, to my perception. (That's all I have nearby to compare it to, don't judge.) I couldn't see any outline past the lights, only the haze of the low clouds fuzzing out the lights a good deal. They moved uniformly for as long as I saw them, giving me the impression it was a single craft. As this is an aeronautical school, there were at least several student pilots within a few miles, but the flight supervisor said no-one else had reported anything. I'm a healthy 22-year old male, with no alcohol in my system. and no history of seeing UFOs nor hallucinating.

Bright light, shiny object, looked round, took picture. Wanted to take another, and it was gone. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS, DECEMBER 10, 2014)) Hello Mr. Davenport, After having a good look at my picture I think it's just could have been a jet. I guess they eye play's tricks sometimes.. I'm sorry.

While driving 94 East, under the bridges by downtown St. Paul, a large white ball of light, moving from the SW to the NE, flew across the sky for a few seconds.

Came home after studying. Saw a green glowing cloud in the eastern direction. There is a blanket of clouds and there's one almost circular section with a lime green glow. It seems to intensify at times then dim down again. The moon can be seen but its not near the green glow. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

San Diego, CA
About an hour and a half ago, at 8:20pm (give or take a couple of minutes), I was standing outside in the Mission Hills Mini Park. I was looking NNW, when a neon blue light came into my field of vision. Again, it was mostly a neon blue, but there was a much smaller red light glow or light too. The red light was about one quarter the size as the neon blue or smaller. The light was as large and as bright as the landing light of an incoming jet preparing to land at the San Diego airport. The light did not blink off and on as the anti-collision lights do. It was a steady light. Anyway, this light was moving very fast from the east to the west when it came into my field of vision. Within 3 seconds it was NW of me and made a 180 degree turn. It came back east a little and then went almost straight down but at a slight angle. It disappeared for 20 seconds or so behind the tree line across the canyon and then came back up for 10 seconds. It moved in a swimming motion in different directions. Then down again below the tree line; almost straight down, but again at a slight angle. This was not a long way away from me; it was close. The light was closer than the planes coming south towards the San Diego airport. When the planes are preparing to land, they get close to the airport and turn or head east along the Interstate 8 freeway corridor before turning back to the San Diego airport. So, this light was moving much faster than the planes preparing for their approach to the airport and of course was closer to me than the Planes heading east along the Interstate corridor. This light was also lower than the incoming jets and planes at all times in this sighting and must have come down close to the ground in order for me to loose sight of it, twice, behind the tree line across Dove Canyon (western finger of Dove Canyon). This light moved gracefully, but not in straight lines. It moved slightly erratically, a little like a d! olphin swimming rather than straight lines. When it made a 180 degree turn, it was almost instantaneously. This obviously was not a plane or helicopter. If it was a drone, it would have to have been a jet powered drone, but that is not possible either, since there was no sound.

Ft. Pierce (Hutchinson Island), FL
A week ago I started observing what I thought were shooting stars (or meteorites). Each night thereafter, I observed these objects - they did not fall to the ground but circled around, went south, turned around and headed north, sometimes went west and returned. My first thought was that they were drones but at this point I have no idea what they are. My friend also observed them.
