Hello, I witnessed flashing lights in the night time skies facing north on the island of oahu. It was a little cloudy so I thought it was a typical plane with its flashing lights. This one caught my eye because the flashing lights were not flying like a typical plane or helicopter. It flashed red lights then white lights then made a strobe effect white light! What made me believe this was a UFO was the fact that it speeded away really fast. Not like a fighter jet that I typically see over Hickam Air Force Base but so much faster than that. Take it for what it's worth. I saw what I saw. Thank you and Happy Holidays!

Large flashes in the sky. The flashes illuminated the lower half of the horizon that went from red--blue/green--red in the matter of seconds. Then an additional red flash followed a minute later.

The following observation occurred in rural Kern County California just East of Sierra Highway and North of Backus Road on November 19th 2020 at 2 AM. I was opening my front door, which faces North north-east, and my yard was lit up like there was an arc flash directly over my house. I have done some welding over the years and at best an arc flash from arc welding generally extends to around six feet. I live on two acres of land with my house is situated in the middle. This only lasted a few seconds at the most and the entire yard in front of me was completely lit up all the way to the edge. What I could make out of the shadows in that short amount of time appeared be from a light directly above my house. When it stopped I saw something like a fireworks rocket arcing to the north east and descend. It was green/gold in color and none of this made any sound. It was four days after a new moon. That night the intensity of this light was well beyond a! full moon or anything else I have ever observed. There are no power lines above or close to my house. Fortunately I was still under the eave of the roof. I can only assume that exposure to this intense light could cause blindness.

We were driving on a back road when something that looked metallic and sleek moving crossed the road about 20 yards in front of use into the woods. Then about 10 seconds later 2 very bright rapid succession orange flashes lit up the sky. There was no sound but it looked like some type of explosion or of lightening were orange but without a bolt.

I was unloading my groceries and happened to look up. I seen what I think may have been a small craft that darted across the sky like a flash but it didn't really look like a "craft" more like a superhero going into hyperspeed as silly as that sounds. It had a blue green glow. It shot off North, North-West and it was in our atmosphere. It felt like it was close by. A few seconds later, there was a flash in the sky directly North which look like a star exploded. it was pretty bright, but a quick flash. The Flash was a bright white light. There was no star there before or after. Perhaps it was a portal?The Object was more west of the bright flash and at a lower altitude.

Walking the dog with my wife. We saw a flashing light in the sky, then moments later it flashed 2 very quick times 2-hands distance away moving south across the sky. Within 5 seconds or less it flashed in the same way (2 very fast flashes) in the middle of the sky and flashed again in the southern sky before it passed the horizon. It had just become dark. We could see no shape just the light. But it crossed the whole unobstructed sky in less than 5 seconds flashing at intervals across the sky disappearing in-between. Altitude seemed low but just assuming this due to it's speed across the sky.

I observed a green and red steady light come out from behind the line of trees of the southern sky, heading northbound, stopped in northern part of the sky, hovered, then moved to the right, hovered, shot 10-12 degrees across the sky toward the east, and after other hovering and other motions disappeared from view.

I went hunting this morning right before daylight at 6:50-7:00AM. As I walked out of the house to make my way to the woods I looked up at the brightest star and saw a pulse flash beside the star in the sky. I had no idea what it could have been. I continued to my deer stand. I got settled and maybe 10 minutes had passed I looked up at the stars again and seen what looked to be a satellite, a small moving light way above where the range or distance airplanes fly coming across the sky. I saw the same flash or pulse of light again at a short distance from the object. The object immediately makes a sharp turn and changes direction.

They were rotating, Giving off beam's of light, They seemed like they were looking the for something. They were hovering over the airport and then moved farther out. They were flashing different colors, The Two bigger ones were brighter than the two small one's. And they all were flashing colors. The smaller two were reddish brown and also had a teal color to them that flashed, as if they were taking pictures of some sort. I know they were spacecraft's and not airplanes or helicopters I seen an airplane and it made a major wide left turn. the helicopter slowly turned around. I believe the helicopter was military it only had one light and it was blinking red. Unfortunately i couldn't see the shape but i knew when it was a UFO when i noticed two extra bright light's in the sky and no sooner then i look they zigged and then figured eight i immediately told my two friends to look.

Was outside stargazing and feeding my nighttime animals when I saw this flash of light. I looked up and I could not see anything but then this thing flashed like like you would see a flash of lightning but it was much smaller and brighter. And when it flashed I could see something some sort of object the flash would go to and it go up and move. I know it was a UFO because I'm always outside looking at the stars every single night. This is the second time I saw this UFO and the flash. The first time would be about middle of last month. I only just discovered you guys tonight. This is my third UFO sighting and I have a friend who seen a UFO as well. The UFO moved across the sky it would flash and you could see this object in the brightness of the flash. I could not make out the shape of the object but I knew it something that was not a satellite or the ISS because I see them regularly every night. I knew this had to be a UFO. When I see it again I will take ph! otos of it and send it to you.

Object started flashing ( I’m aware it’s not the planet next to it) lasting actually about 5 minutes. I was parked in my car, craft appeared to be less than 1,000 feet from the ground. I live by an airport and know that they blink 1 second apart ( I’ve learned much about airplanes since these events started occurring) this was not the case here.

This morning I was sitting in my bedroom watching TV (My room is in front of the house, facing east) and I looked out my window and thought nothing of the flashing light until at least 4 or 5 minutes later noticing the flash which was flashing different colors occasionally, stayed there in the same spot for quite some time. And is actually staying put as i type this. Incredible experience!

I was walking my dogs!at night and we were up on a hill—for a moment there seemed to be a shooting star flashing across the tree line. However, the light was green, seemed to be flying at a planned projectory, and it was too close and too bright to the trees to be a meteorite. It could have been in a V shape, it was too quick to tell. I wondered if it could be a drone, but there was really no one awake in the neighborhood to be flying a drone, and it was too fast.

Standing on my deck and it looked like something flew through the mountain range/Valley. It looked like a shooting star at first but it flew straight and too low, at a speed too fast for anything man made, then it disappeared. About 1 minute later it came back and was moving and flashing oddly back and forth, up, down and sideways like it was scanning the ground below or looking for something. I ran into grab my phone and turn all my lights off and it was gone. All the dogs in the area started barking at the same time.

Multiple flashes, triangular in shape, Flashes were seen near the big dipper, Flashes were much brighter then any star we saw, night sky was a little hazy but the flashes could be seen through the little cloud coverage there was.

I was casually looking at the sky with the sky map app on my phone when I saw something on the horizon. At first I thought it was a plane with its landing lights on. However, it made an immediate 180 degree turn, and quickly disappeared. I've watched many planes fly and am not really a believer of Alien UFO's but never in my life have I seen this before . I am familiar with aircraft and drones, this behavior was not either. A bright light similar to an aircraft landing light was traveling across the horizon westbound, abruptly made a 180 degree turn towards the south, sped up, and disappeared. I am a police officer with experience as a Tactical Flight Officer, I don't really believe in alien ufo's but have never seen something like this. I Googled how to report and it lead me here.

Shortly before noon today I was working at my computer in my home office when I was interrupted by a single bright flash of light outside my window. My computer is situated below a large north-facing window that gives me a clear view of a large portion of the sky, from about 50 degrees up to a little below the horizon, and about 50 degrees toward the west and somewhat less than 10 degrees toward the east. I wear reading glasses to use my computer. The flash of light was high enough that I saw it above the frame of my glasses, i.e., it definitely was not something on my computer screen. The flash seemed to originate from a point outside of my field of view, very high up in the sky. It appeared to be about as bright as a flash of lightning would appear in the semi-darkness of a thunderstorm. However, the weather outside at the time of the flash was sunny and clear with a cloudless sky . It was a very bright flash, indeed. The duration was very short, perhaps the way one would perceive a camera flash or a blink. For a moment, I considered that I had imagined it or that it could be a sign of an eyesight problem such as a detached retina. However, when I mentioned to my wife during lunch that I had seen a flash, she remarked that she had seen it, too. When it occurred, she was sitting in our living room, at the opposite end of the house, where the windows face south. She was seated away from the window, facing the interior of the house, i.e., north, so she was not in a position to see where it originated. Unfortunately, it did not occur to me to record the time of event. I only remember that it was shortly before noon. I checked our local power utilities to see if there have been any electrical outages. They post updates very quickly on their websites and on twitter. But they reported no outages or other problems today. I have seen transformers explode, and they make a very bright flash. I'm inclined to think that this could have been a meteor or bolide. Nothing of the sort has been reported on the news yet, but perhaps we'll see something later today. I thought I'd leave this report with you in case you receive other reports.
