Driving southbound on a two-lane rural highway at dusk with my teenage son when we both noticed 5 or 6 white sparkling white lights in a horizontal line. They faded out after a few seconds. Unsure if they reappeared, as we were driving and could not stop to watch. Did see them disappear before we passed under. Not a cloud in the sky; the oddest thing we both have ever seen.

On December 5, 2017, at 6 p.m. there was a string of unmoving lights to the NNE of I-44 from the Buckhorn exit. Yellow-orange lights in color, wavering as if seen through heat, in a straight horizontal line. The lights were not evenly spaced along the line but were in a perfectly straight line just above the tree line from where seen but seemed to be much further away. There appeared to be five or six lights. They were viewed only for a few seconds and then they went out/off in order from right to left and did not reappear. There were two airplanes in the air at the time to the left and right of the lights. The airplanes were not following/pursuing the lights.

Sioux Falls, SD
I saw groups of lights flying over the city. They were small clusters of orbs that had a golden glow emitting from them. They went in and out of loose "V" formations and twisted around. Some of them were barely visible, while others were bright enough to distinguish all the orbs inside the object. Lines kept flying overhead for roughly 20 minutes before suddenly stopping. A few clusters of the orb groups flew in formations of 3. ((ADDENDUM FROM READER)) There was a large snow storm the night of December 4th. Unfortunately, I doubt anyone was able to see much outside. ((END ADDENDUM)) We have not been able to confirm the claim by the reader, yet. PD

Walked out of work, saw about eight lights in the sky in a formation pattern. Got out my camera recorded for about 2 minutes and they slowly faded into the night sky one by one.

At dusk, my wife and I noticed a star that looked to be bright blue, with a white center very close to the earth, I then noticed that it had a bright white star moving in tandom with it, at that same time we then noticed 2 more of these craft and started hearing engine sounds these smaller craft were flying underneath a very large triangle or diamond shaped craft that was just by a quick glance disguised as a constellation these craft could be heard coming in with the smaller craft making jet noises, but the big one was almost silent and when it flew over there was a very strong downdraft of wind at least 40/50 mph. These craft circled our home all night and continue to this day, at dawn one will break off, lower itself to the ground, and start spinning at a 45° angle expanding and contracting, with lights turning white then light blue and a noise like standing next to a transformer will start, with vibrations growing stronger and a intense magnetic field will become noticeable. When the sun gets to where it's fully up, these ships will be drawn into the center and disdappear in a brilliant flash of light.

This took about 1.5 minutes to take place & then they hovered for almost 50 seconds & I couldn’t see them anymore due to a tree line. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. PD

Saw 4 objects in half of a "V" formation, approximately 500 feet apart, and altitude of around 1000 feet above ground, traveling northeast at around 150 knots. No sound noted. Color and shape alternating between white sphere to multi-angular shape with color changing between lead grey to shiny sun reflecting silver. The leading object always appeared in the angular shape. Size of craft estimated to be 20 foot diameter. Witness provides no information; elects to remain anonymous. Hoax?? PD

1 bright light coming from the east, about 300 feet high. Flew for 10 seconds and split into 3 lights in a line formation. Flew straight in a West direction and vanished. No noise associated with the lights and it came from over a set of trees out of nowhere.

Friday, 11-17-2017 at 13:17, I heard a loud, low flying helicopter, which prompted me to go outdoors & observe. The day is sunny, clear blue skies, wind NE prox. 8mph. The ‘chopper’ is flying north bound, about 45 degrees above the horizon, & is white with some black markings. High above the chopper, about 15k-20k feet, is a tight group of 8 white spherical objects, some dark underneath, about 1/8inch diameter as viewed from ground. The formation is not moving except for 3 which are moving in various directions, then the entire group proceeds to move slowly SW. I ran to get my camera, which took under 5-seconds, I fired up the camera & the objects disappeared. Gone, before my eyes, & unable to snap a picture. The chopper had passed, still heard distantly, however, I could not see the objects anywhere in the clear blue skies. They were not birds nor balloons. Sighting lasted about 1-2 mins. My background: 66yrs., careers in medicine, & construction/engineering.

My fiancé and I were sitting outside on our balcony having a smoke when I saw a row of 4 orange lights in the distance over his shoulder. I immediately told him to look, because it was very unnatural. As soon as he turned around they all went out, then the one that was furthest to the right went back on. Then the one next to it came back on. Then those 2 went back off and the third one came on and went off. Then the one that was furthest to the left cane on. My fiancé, who always finds a way to explain things rationally was a little shook up. He stood up and started scanning the sky and we were both asking each other what it was and both decided it couldn’t be explained. After about 30 seconds to 1 minute one single light popped on a little ways from where the original lights were, to the right and up higher than before. And it quickly went back off. The four lights that I saw at first appeared to be a part on one single object, they were in a perfect line! and didn’t move at all. It seemed like a saucer type object, but the line of lights was slightly tilted. They were not very far away, they appeared to be sitting about as high as a helicopter flies. If it has been daytime I believe it would have been close enough to make out the details of the object. The lights were a dull orange color, and much bigger and brighter than lights I’ve seen on planes. The light that appeared on its own had me thinking all the light may have been separate objects, but were just in some kind of formation. It’s hard to say. The entire experience was very eerie and unexplainable. Furthermore, this is the second UFO experience I have had in the Myrtle Beach area. The first one was 8 years ago at about 3pm, a bright clear day. I saw 3 huge bright orbs zipping around, almost like they were dancing in the sky. They were turning on and off, appearing and reappearing in different spots in the sky. I was driving when it happened, I pulled over and watch! ed the orbs for about 10 minutes with 4 other people. I was so! concern ed that I drove to the Myrtle Beach airport and reported what I saw. That has always stuck with me, and ever since that day I look up every chance I get. I don’t know what these objects are, but I know they weren’t anything the public has any knowledge of.

Usual planes flying in for landing @ sky harbor & then the whole sky above south mountain lit up like a Christmas tree while walking dog. There was 4-5 silver lights blinking & began synchronizing with each other & 3 were in a triangle! Wondering if anyone else saw it!

It was raining that night and I was at A 4 way stop behind some cars. Looked around an saw like seven lights in clearing of clouds. I went to park car so could take pictures seen four then. As I watched the first two the one on the left suddenly made A 90 degree turn in to the clouds. I got some pictures showing four lights white in color nothing blinking like planes have.On the way home I kept looking for them but did see them any more because of rain.

4 bright white lights in sky Seemed to be over Black Mountain, Rancho Penasquitos One light zoomed into place, then stayed still, a second light zoomed across it then stayed still, right beside the first. A third light did the same, and then a fourth. After they were all lined up in a row, the lights quickly went out, one after another, starting with the first. They didn’t seem to come from anywhere. We didn’t see them flying from a distance to land in this space. It was like they appeared, moved into place, and then disappeared just as quickly. Two moms taking our two teenage daughters to a concert. Both moms and one daughter saw the lights.

On November the 15th, 2017. I observed a strange object in the sky. As I was looking out the window, I noticed a cluster of lights in the distance, which I could see through a gap in the trees. The lights were barely visible, only slightly illuminated. As I continued to observe, these cluster of lights suddenly illuminated really bright, all together, not separately from each other. This all happened in a matter of seconds, when suddenly the lights disappeared. What I noticed from the sighting was there seemed a line of some sorts within the cluster of lights. In terms of a number of lights, there seemed to be around 10 all in a row. It was at angle in the sky, so not straight at all. After it disappeared, I continued to watch just in case it come back. As I was watching, I noticed intermittent illuminations happen, after so many seconds. This continued for around 20 minutes. So the object was still there in the sky, but seemed as if it was hiding to a large degree. Difficult to say what it was for sure, but never seen anything like it before.

Approaching from the east-heading west were (3)very bright red diamonds. the (2) in the rear appeared closer to each other than to the leading diamond. Inside the diamonds were a vertical and also a horizontal red light in a cross pattern. As the objects got closer, I opened my window and could hear nothing. I watched the objects pass over and thought it looked to be a triangular shape but it looked clear. For this reason I'm not sure if it was a "V" shaped object with the red triangles at all 3 points or if it was (3) seperate objects! I then went to a west window and watched the objects head towards McChord Air Force Base. (( We spoke at length with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite serious, and sober-minded.

3 lights observed in a triangular formation heading west to east. Altitude appeared to be very high as lights were not extremely bright. At first we thought it was stars but only then we observed they were moving slowly. Solid white no blinking. When they were about 30 degrees off the horizon, the leading light vanished went out then within 15-20 seconds, the left light went out and about 10 seconds late, the third light went out. Not a sound was heard the entire time. If it was just one light, one may think it was a satellite but to see the three in formation has us wondering. That's why I'm here. Someone had to have seen this as well???

As I got closer the lights flew over the Trumbull Ave. neighborhood and then headed near the YMCA along Rte 10 North bound, over the cemetery and towards the area of Robertson Airport. This object seem to change shape to a butterfly with colored lights when it was near the YMCA, but went back straight line of white lights. Lost view of it as it flew North.

At approximately 20:00, two women were standing outside talking, when they notice strange orange lights glowing in the sky. The lights were in a circular formation with approximately 3 following. No sounds were heard during his time. Sky was partly cloudy but relatively clear and calm. The light began to move toward the northwest, disappearing one by one and then vanished. A helicopter with bright red lights shortly followed at a high rate of speed. The helicopter was also traveling at low altitude.
