Gilbert, AZ
Saw lights while talking to friend on phone. Finally realized my tablet was in the truck. I turned on tablet and started recording it. After it disappeared, I played the video back and noticed that you can see the lights move upward at a fast rate of speed. Sorry for quality, my tablet is 4 years old.

Grand Island, NY
Traveling 190N bound entering the whitehaven on ramp. I noticed what at first I thought were possibly stars, until I noticed the subtle drifting movements and glowing from bright to dim, and then also the formation that was V in shape with 2 objects vertical and 1 object at a point creating the formation that held and as it was slowling drifting until the light faded to black. I did take the time to assure that these were not stars and were of another nature. On a seperate night (1-2 nights) previous in the same location, I observed 1 object that was a cluster of colored lights, and unable to make out shape. It caught my attention enough to pull over on the entrance ramp and observe that it was not a plane or helicopter. And was stationary in 1 spot. I attempted to record video which have saved but did not come out well with out professional enhancement. I'm decided to report what I saw after hearing from friends and word of mouth of mulitble accounts of unexplained sightings the same evening or time frame. And feel what I saw is absolutely relevent.

Philadelphia area, PA
We saw a fireball hovering through the trees in the woods close to where I live. It was an oval shape and orange and pink and it was glowing bright. It then began rising and I ran after it into a baseball field to catch a better view and flew away from me and into the sky and then ascending into the upper strata. I kept my eyes on it as it flew to far away to see into the stars. Source of report fails to indicate the date of the event. We have assigned an artificial date. Hoax?? PD

Columbus, OH
In far distance west of Columbus, two lights appeared to be descending rapidly toward where the sun had just set. The lights converged and became one light, then fading out more and more, with two lights appearing again. Then two more lights descended rapidly on the same trajectory. The lights became less bright as the first two lights had done. My impression is that the objects were descending vertically, but then quickly transitioned to a horizontal flight path, and at a very high speed continued westward. It will be interesting to read whether others saw this in states just west of Ohio. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Castleton, IN
When I pulled into the hospital parking lot last night I looked out of my car window and noticed in the sky a large number of orange-ish round lights flying west at a fairly fast speed. There was one light per object. They kept coming up from the horizon from the east, flying upwards and west at various altitudes and not in any particular formation. It was eerie because they dominated the sky. It was very quiet. This took place at Community Hospital North and was witnessed by one other person that I am aware of. I estimate over the 15 minutes that I stood there observing that there were about 40-50 lights total that eventually flew off into the distance.

Blacklick, OH
My neighbor and I saw four lights traveling in a single line coming from the north heading west over or around the Columbus airport, no sound, not blinking. The lights were about 1 to 3 minutes apart and all faded out when they reached the same spot. The sky was clear, no clouds. About 2 months ago witness the same thing, but only one object this time.

Holcombe, WI
I was just watching TV at my uncles cabin when I noticed a bright orange light above the trees. It's was moving N.W. at a steady pace. I thought it might be one of those small remote control drones, maybe someone just playin around. However whatever this was it was completely silent and went to far away to be a remote control drone.

Hollidaysburg, PA
Approximately 8:15pm – red/orange objects ranging from 2 to 14 at a time lasting approximately 10 minutes from the time they were noticed in the sky. This same evening, the sunset an hour before and the rays of light were coming from the east rather than the west with the setting sun. In addition, an arc of light was across the whole sky like a rainbow earlier in the evening. The objects appeared to move closer and then would disappear only for more to reappear. They also moved into what looked like formations and would then disperse. By seeing them firsthand they were bright orange and red but in video or pictures that were taken, they are all white/gray. The still photos of the images when zoomed in on appear to be some type of spacecraft. The sky was clear with no clouds. It was quiet and they did not omit any noise. Police called but arrived after observation and objects had disappeared. Not visible from other areas of the surrounding community.

Pottstown, PA
A coworker and I were outside smoking a cigarette on third shift. Mid-conversation I noticed what appeared to be a very slow moving "shooting star". I saw it for about three seconds before I said "((deleted)) look!" and pointed to it out to my coworker. It was not an airplane, satellite, or "shooting star". The only way I can describe it is to say it was like watching a shooting star in slow motion.

Minnetonka, MN
Noticed a "star" or a "plane" that seemed unusually bright and twinkling (was actually more of a flashing at times). Thought this was odd, looked at few other stars in the sky, they were all significantly less bright and unremarkably twinkly. This woke me up more and and i watched the object in question for 20-30 more minutes hoping it would go back to looking like the rest of the stars or start moving like a plane or a satellite. No change in the objects location occurred during this time but the light grew much stronger and seemed to sparkle like brilliant white light from far away refracting through a crystal. Thought i saw distinction between blue and red light so i continued to watch the object hoping, again, it would display behavior like an airplane or something familiar. At one point the light became so brilliant i was positive this was not like any star i have ever seen. The twinkling/flickering seemed to fluctuate at a constant rate, like something mechanical. To give you an idea, if the brightest stars and lights from nearby jets in the sky amounted to a pea, this object's light at its brightest moment would comparable be that of an apple. Light faded and is now gone from the spot in the sky, even when no visible cloud cover is overhead. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Date is flawed. We have changed it, to reflect a sighting in September 2014, not October 2014. PD

Medina, OH
While taking my dogs outside I noticed a light in the sky above the tree line in front of my parent's house on Huffman. While I stood watching it I noticed that it would move slowly up then down, stop, then move left to right slowly stopping again. I stood out there for about 15 mins till' I asked my mother to come out & watch it. She agreed that it was unusual then went back inside. When 30+ mins had past from when I first noticed the light, & still continuing to do the same movements I called the Medina Police Dept. About 15 mins later & missing my driveway about 3-4 times the officer pulled up, by then the light had moved below the tree line so he was unable to see it. He took my report, said it was probably someone's drone then went on his way. A week or so after I saw a similar light in the back yard, but since I didn't post asking if anyone else in Medina was witnessing the same thing I don't have a date & time. I didn't contact the police dept the second time after seeing how they pretty much took it as a joke the first time. This was not the first time I had experienced lights like this in Medina, when I was in high school I was driving on Marcs Rd & pulled over in the subdivision on the corner of Marcs & Fenn & sat for awhile watching the same movement till it disappeared.

Holyoke, MA
Seen between two houses, a red light hovering at about 2,000-5,000 feet. Thought it was Mars, but was in wrong position. Twice as bright as Venus, and twice the size of Venus. Moved erratically and slowly from south to north, wavering side to side. As it slowed again, it dimmed, turned the light intensity down to nearly invisible and changed color to a pale nearly invisible frost green. Then it disappeared. We were amazed. Fifteen minutes later it reappeared. This time it moved again in the same direction, but disappeared quickly while wavering side to side. Witness provides no contact information. PD

Lubbock, TX
Large bright object to the west of Lubbock, TX. Very bright light that didn't move but faded in brightness. The sun was almost down, so it wasn't a reflection. I got pictures, but they are not great. Called to get my retired school teacher mother on the line, and she saw it from 5 miles south of my location. It didn't twinkle or have any other colored lights. Object slowly faded on a perfectly clear night. Reported by local news to be a balloon. PD

It was my nephew's birthday, and after the party myself and my sister and my daughter and my sisters partner were stood in a carpark and we all seemed to look up and see a light that looked odd to us. This object was circling above us then froze and it felt like it was looking at us. At this time the light changed colour to red and green like 1 row of 3 red lights and 1 row of 3 green lights. The object then landed in a nearby field and as it landed we saw sparks coming up. We have some video footage

The date was 9/26/2014 Friday and about 8:30 . I went to pick up my child at his friends house down the street. The night was clear and the weather was good. I was standing outside waiting for him and I was looking at the night sky when two objects caught my eyes. They where different they where traveling together and the lights where different. The crafts would change colors from red, blue and white and the light colors where not normal. The lights did not blink light air planes. It had one area of light. The one craft stayed in are area and the other went down towards my house out of sight. We watched the one hover in the sky till it dropped be low the tree line out of sight. I thought the show was over so we went home. When we got home I went out back to see if the other one was there and it was in the sky right across from me. It was sitting there hovering not moving at all. I got a picture of it. It was there for hours hardly moved. It look like it w! as watching or collecting data. I went to bed at midnight it was still there. When I got up I look and it was gone. I been looking at the sky for them and I can see one up very high. It looks like a star flickering but if you look closer you will see it is flicking red, blue and white. I would like to know if it is from here or another world?

Las Vegas, NV
Same lights my roommates & I witnessed last week on 09/18/14, but shorter lived. These were orange, stationary, flare-like objects that flickered on the Northern horizon. Three appeared over the Centennial Hills area, then a pair near Nellis AFB. Last week they lasted long enough to be considered flares but tonight's lights flashed & died out in seconds, seemingly more brilliant. Flares that short-lived would be pretty useless, so I am left wondering what these could be. I only caught this glimpse tonight because I was out having a cigarette, I didn't even have time to run inside for my camera before it ended. As before, no obvious aircraft were near the lights.

Witnessed 14 to 15 lights, take off from the area of Everglades National Park. Seemed to take off, drift to the north, a few fell back to the ground. Not sure what it is/was but very mysterious. Orange pulsing, colored light. My children called attention to me to see what was in the sky. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
