Farmington, NM
While watching the World Series between San Francisco and Kansas City, the boys were outside to see if their Grandpa needed help with anything, and they come back telling me about a light in the sky traveling southeast on Troy King Rd over the Farmington Airport without ANY sound or beacons flashing. It's amazing just what-so-ever I was on the subject of crafts in the night skies of NW New Mexico. It traveled about 15 seconds ESE, then the bright Object traveling disappeared.

Madison, WI
Bright white light flashing in the sky and moving at an incredible rate of speed, heading south east from Westport/Waunakee area. It flew by going south and then just stopped completely in the air, and eventually started heading back north again. Within a few minutes, two F-16-style jets took off from the nearby airport and went after it, but the white light then went straight up into the clouds and didn't come back.

Wheaton, IL
I had just gotten out of my car and was walking toward the front door of my house in Wheaton, IL, at around 10:30 PM when I looked south, up toward the sky, to suddenly see two lights zip across the sky faster than I have seen any craft fly in my life. I believe this had to be only a single craft, because the two lights appeared to maintain the same distance from each other while flying through the air. One light appeared to be red and the other green, just like a normal airplane would, but it covered a distance in what must have been less than a second that is physically impossible for any modern craft to travel. It was there and then it was gone in an instant. I could not decipher the physical shape of the craft because it was dark out and also because of the speed it moved at. I could see the lights traveling through the air however, and it looked like they left a streak behind them as it flew through the sky, but I think that had more to do with the fact ! that the lights were moving so fast. When I looked over in the direction where I thought the craft had traveled (It seemed to be heading southwest), I saw a bright blue light that was flickering a little. I pulled up an application on my phone to see if it was perhaps a planet or star rather than any physical craft I might have seen. From what I could tell on my phone, it was just Neptune. The craft I had seen warp through the sky was nowhere to be found. It was just gone an instant after I had seen it streak through the sky at impossible speeds.

Liberty, MO
My wife went to smoke a cig on our backporch and saw about 16 floating moving lights in the sky she called for me in fear and i came running out. I couldnt believe my eyes I have never personally witness any ufo sightings in my life so I was a little spooked. Luckly i had my cell phone on me and started taking pictures and got a video of them as well. They were moving around making very weird signs in the sky and the last sign they made was a arrow pointing into space. Then they slowly disappeared. There were still a couple left but slowly disappeared as well. I am not a hoaxer or prankster and I have better things to do with my life then report ufo sightings. But i just felt like i needed to report this in being it is real and it is not hoaxed.

Cherry Hill, NJ
Red-Orange glowing lights were headed from west to east over a late dusky-dark sky. They floated in the same general direction, but seemed to be a bit more random in their individual approaches and speeds. Three moved out in front quickly, another set of three came up a little more slowly. Observed by a white male aged 35 years old, standing outside of a friend's house.

Apple Valley, CA
we noticed a bright light moving from the north west to the south east, east of our location. it did not streak across the sky like shooting star, but much faster than an air liner. I was unusual enough , that we went from our back yard to the front yard to observe the large bright light. we watched for about 5 more seconds stating to one another. What do think that is? then it just went out. Gone. This sighting was unusual enough that we decided to report it. I'm not a believer in extra terrestrial but I do know that this is a very unusual thing we saw.

North Wilkesboro, NC
I was on the front porch looking north at the stars in the night sky. There were planes flying north to south in their usual flight pattern for this area. Suddenly I noticed an odd light approximately 1,000 feet up flying west to east that resembled a very bright light bulb. It was rounded and extremely bright. I called my mother to come and see it, and we watched it fly along in a westerly direction towards downtown North Wilkesboro. It floated to a certain point and then appeared to turn right and head north, and upon turning, the light faded quickly and was gone. It was not a plane or a helicopter, had no navigational lights, and it made no noise.

Danville, VA
I am a student pilot who, on the 24th, just after sunset, took off from KDAN (Danville Regional Airport) in Danville. VA, with my instructor, and flew southeast, possibly towards the town of Milton, for ten or so minutes. Aircraft flown was a PA28-181 Archer III under VFR. We continued flight for about a minute after leveling off at around 3500 feet MSL. Off the front of the aircraft, possibly around ten or so miles out, both my instructor and I saw what appeared to be a white light descending quickly (~1000' per second) for a period of about two seconds. It appeared to be transitioning through the same altitude as our aircraft. After two seconds had passed, it flared out as would ash from a cigarette falling to the floor. The skies were dark at the time so it was easy to see. It was not clear if it had flared out before making contact with the ground, or if it had disappeared into the trees. It may have either fallen somewhere in North Carolina, or on the NC/VA border. As for the light itself, it appeared to be a pure white color, nonchanging. From what I could tell, it didn't appear to be completely circular - I have vision corrected to 20/20 with glasses, but my eyes could have been playing tricks on me when it came to the shape of the object, due to flaws in observation or due to the fact that it was a ways out. My instructor called it "round."

Ottawa (Canada), ON · Canada
My fiancée and I while driving south on the 416 towards the 401 at around 6:55pm we saw a bright light in the sky that seemed to fade slowly in and out. We soon noticed a lights to both the left and the right of it that also faded in and out. This drew our attention to the sky. Around 5 minutes later we witnessed a spectacle of many lights in a row. There was 2 definitive sections of lights 7-10 in each strand with one light in each section continually brighter and producing a strobe effect. During this there were numerous single lights within the same area fade in and our appearing in drastically different areas. This lasted for around 20 seconds and the everything disappeared. It all appeared at about a 45 degree angle in the sky... an unbelievable experience

Dunnville (Canada), ON · Canada
Looking NE from Dunnville, Ontario.--Bright flashing white with red and possibly blue lights. Moving up and down, stays still then side to side, then will drop fast, very strange moving. When I first saw it I thought it was a star exploding with all the red and white flashing. Also goes fast up and down. Very odd moving now going faster. NOTE - looked at time was 2:09, looked back few seconds later and one clock said 2:08 after I seem 2:09. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Valley View, TX
A working legal mexican and I, a woman were stargazing. The man pointed ou Three stars which were in a row. As we both looked at them, one of the stars began moving slowly as a plane would appear only it was still then began moving. I began looking more intently. It faded out then disappeared. I noticed another star at a stand still then began moving. IT LOOKED exactly like a star. It traveled a great distance. Across the whoke sky. Fast. But not fast as a shooting star. More like a plane. When we discussed that we had both seen two stars move "stars" we opted to go in the house. After reading some of my book, I closed my eyes. My light bulb exploded in the glass light fixture. I don't have photos but have seen several ufos in the kast few weeks and will send one picture if I am able to get one.

Grove City, OH
Was about 20-25 degrees above the horizon. When I first noticed the light there was two orange colored lights. Shortly after a third light lit up then after a quick delay the forth then a fifth. At about the time the fifth light came on the 1st light went out and then the 2nd and so on each with a equal delay between them. Once all the lights went out the 1st light came back on and then the second. At this time I turned onto my street and by the time I got out of my car and to the back of my house I could no longer see any lights. Reminded me of the scene from Independence Day with the helicopter. http://www.rotaryaction.com/images/inday1.jpg but only contained a single horizontal row of lights.

Onaway, MI
Stepping onto my southerly facing deck, as always,I looked up at the stars. I looked to the west and noticed a bright single light heading my way. It was as bright as the space station. The color wasn't as white as the I.S.S. More towards amber. I've seen the space station many times,and I knew this wasn't it. It wasn't blinking, just constant. Earlier my buddy called to say he was looking at the eclipse. I wasn't prepared so I didn't see it. Anyway, I ran in the house and called him, and told him to go outside quick, as something was heading our way from the west. (He lives about 1/4 mile away). We both stayed on the phone and he said he saw it right away. There were no navigation lights, or sound, so we ruled out a jet or plane. It was heading just slightly southeast. If you pointed your left finger straight up at twelve o'clock high, and your right finger, two feet straight to the south, that is about the degrees in the sky the thing was, when, it abruptly vanished!! I don't know if it turned "right," from our vantage point, or just turned off the lights! It didn't zip away in the direction it was heading, it just wasn't there. It was a crystal clear night, so no clouds to go behind. We both were left wondering what we just witnessed. It was 8:30 or so. I'm wondering if we were the only two people in America who saw this! It appeared to be quite high, But hard to judge not knowing size. Incidentally, on April 19th, 2014, my wife, nephew and niece, witnessed almost the exact same "light", right from the same viewing spot, our deck. Everything almost identical, except the time. That one was at approximately 10:30 or so. My wife said, "Look!, here comes the space station! I said, no it's not!!

Tucson, AZ
My sister and I have been observing these lights throughout the summer, but only recently have we seen them nightly. They are small lights that flash white, red, and blue. Sometimes they move fast, sometimes slowly, sometimes remain stationary for extended periods. One night we saw them flying northwestward, some of them moving closer to others then moving away, then suddenly one shot directly upward and out of sight while another flew off in another direction and out of sight. On 10/23 some of the lights were stationary at various points in the sky (in a circle over Tucson) while others were flying either north or south. Sometimes the lights appear to change direction at a 45 degree angle.
