At first my sister-in-law thought they were lights on Paris Mountain, and as we got closer she said that they are not lights on the mountain, because they were moving, lower then an airplane, going in line and heading in a SW direction. They stood still in their course and began to rise up into space and finally disappeared. We pulled over during the event, it was a very bright area, I took a picture and video. We have requested that the witness forward the photos and video. PD

Palm Springs, CA
My girlfriend and I went outside to walk our dogs in Palm Springs, Ca, and we saw the craziest lights. There were hundreds of lights in the sky that were made to spell "MARS". Each letter seemed to be a quarter mile long and each letter was composed of dozens of individual lights. Each letter also flashed at the same time and the same exact color. It was surreal. The word "Mars" lasted in the sky for over 30 seconds, proving it was not fireworks and there was no way these were drones. The lights were insanely bright! The letter "M" was comprised of dozens of red lights, the "A" were dozens of blue lights and so on. My stomach dropped when I saw these because there was no way this was man made. As the lights dimmed and shut off, there was a lasting blue hue from each individual light, and it then turned to just a few twinkling lights in the sky until there was Darkness. No smoke, Just clear black sky. No other reports submitted. PD

When two people mentioned about the lights in the sky, I looked up towards the Southwest and saw several lights, all one color.....not pink, but not red either. There were about six lights in formation of a triangle, they would become dim and then bright.....we all were in awe. Some thought they may have been planes or helicopters, but these lights were stationary. They would drop in altitude, but rise again to their original position in the sky. Then they disappeared.

Over north Phoenix near Deer Valley airport. Three red lights with then three blue lights hovered in the same spot for 30 seconds, or so. Some flashing of the lights, then it moved on the the north. It was still bright far away, brighter than planes would be. Over the Cave Creek area, it looked to stop and hover again. I called the airport to ask if there was military excercises going on to which they said no. I asked if they saw the lights and the guy said he had no clue.

Index, WA
I was driving west this morning and was leaving Index around 6:10 ish. I was almost to the multi-lane straight away when, above the trees, there was a HUGE circular formation of lights that was directly behind the trees. It was kind of in a flower/5 or more light circular light formation, but the lights moved around in no real pattern. I had to slow down and see what would happen and it seriously moved/jumped insanely fast several yards to the left and down a bit, but I could still partially see it through the trees. There's no way it was a plane. It was feet away from trees (maybe even between trees--hard to tell) and way lower than any plane should be. I don't know that much about drones, but this was abnormally large and bright and could move faster than anything I've ever seen. It wasn't just light, either. It definitely had some sort of metal, but it was so bright I could hardly make it out. I was rubbing my eyes in shock before it moved again and I couldn't see it anymore.

I was in the car with my friend, who was driving me home, when we noticed a formation of 4 yellow/red lights in the sky, kind of in a triangle formation. They didn't seem to be moving, but under the main lights were little lights trickling down under them, as if they were falling from the yellow/red lights. We noticed them in the sky as it was happening and only saw it for about a minute or two before they were no longer in our view. Once my friend dropped me off and went back to the road where we could see them, she called me to let me know that they were gone.

Peoria, AZ
My sister and I initially thought we were witnessing a bird migration, but the elevation was too high to be birds. We then witnessed what looked like 10 circular craft, that were light in color, possible light silver or white, and were reflective, begin moving in a fluid formation that was like nothing we have ever witnessed. They bobbed and weaved within one another so fluidity that we were sure we couldn't be witnessing anything man made. They flew in this fluid formation for 10 minutes then completely disappeared. There were no clouds in the sky for them to disappear into, and it was perfect weather with very little wind. My sister and I were driving north on our way home from running errands and we turned west and watched them until they disappeared. When we arrived home, we saw fighter jets flying around our area.

Bartlesville, OK
Tonight I sighted a number of bright white lights crossing the sky moving north to south, seen on the western horizons. These bright lights were spaced evenly at a considerable amount of distance from the next. All seven lights moved in perfect unison and were traveling in a perfectly straight line. This, as well as, a quiet but definite low hum that indicated an overpassing aircraft could be heard as it passed. This hum from the craft was an echoing sound and gave the impression that this craft was very big. Possibly 1/4 to 1/2 mile long suspecting these numerous lights made one large combined craft. This was not the first time I have spotted this craft. About two weeks ago on this day in the same direction, traveling the same way, I and four other witnesses sighted this craft moving at a slightly faster rate. About one hour later of that same night, in the direction of which the earlier craft had moved out of eyesight, an extremely bright and large emission of an orange fireball erupted through the sky moving horizontally in the sky north to south with an orange trail traveling behind. The fireball dissipated within 4 seconds. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

They made no noise they hovered stationary two hours and did nothing while there were other planes in the air but they never moved they were above where the planes were flying and they had to be larger than the commercial planes flying around.

My wife and I both saw over 27 lights, the size of stars or satellites, moving across the sky rapidly in V patterns. One fleet would pass, and then another batch would come out of the clouds and pass. It was mind boggling. Even our 2 year old baby was pointing at them and saying "moon, moon, moon".

Driving up the road towards a water tower I saw 5-6 dark red lights pop up in the distance in a random formation and they quickly disappeared. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

There were many orange lights scattered in the sky, when they were first noticed they seemed to form a giant somewhat circle in the sky. The formation scattered with less of the orange lights. The orange lights were just floating in place, becoming less and less. Then finally the orange lights looked to form a perfect triangle and then disappeared.

While trying to photograph Venus tonight, my Wife, Son, and I witnessed a strange constellation of orange, steady (not blinking) lights in the eastern sky moving in what appeared to be a south-westerly direction. The Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) disappeared below the SSW horizon. There were five lights forming a triangle or chevron, separated by what appeared to be a great distance. I am familiar with common aircraft navigation lights, and these lights were orange--not the standard red, green, or white.

https://youtu.be/loqTF3SWbCg seen dated 9/27/13. I have seen these same lights the past 3 nights near/located approx Southern Pkwy and Hwy 15 as far as I can tell. First noticed them driving from Hurricane to Washington last night. Tonight coming home from airport to St George, these lights seemed to get closer overhead in above location, not far away at all. Really weird.

Me and 4 others were driving home when I looked up and saw 5 amber lights all stationary, however the lights were flickering nonstop. This went on for about a minute. Shortly after, there was a very loud, obnoxious booming noise that we can't explain. For the rest of the night we have been seeing several objects in the sky that have a red light, and a white light that have been in the sky for several hours now, however they are not moving. Once we've been home, our dogs have been barking like crazy and refuse to go outside.

Blinking white lights at first and then behind a large cloud it lit up a bright orange and illuminated the cloud. It looked like the scene from Close Encounters of the Third Kind when the little boy runs out of the house out in the country and you can see the clouds lit up - seriously. Then the white blinking lights moved to different positions and then glowed orange. They glowed on and off for awhile. They moved across the sky from east to west and would stop and glow. This is the same event we saw a few months ago. We wondered if they are coming to this area because of the lake. They were right over Medina Lake. It was a spectacular show to say the least but as always why? and Whom? No, there were no jet panes or other aircraft that came by to chase them. It was something to behold. Only the answers are lacking.

Was walking our dog, looking up I saw a formation of 3 lights in a triangle formation in the distance, there was about a visual inch between the lights. They were blinking, I thought they might be jets in the distance, but as I have thought about it for over 18 hours it may have been other-worldly. They were in the north of the city traveling east along treetop level per my perspective. The top light was ahead of the bottom one and the bottom one was ahead of the back one which formed an obtuse triangle. Being that far apart at that distance would make them several miles apart in the formation, which I think is strange for any jet formation, they were going about the speed of a commercial jet, not fast as if military and I did not hear a the jet engine. There were no wild movements nor disappearances. Also, as far as I could tell they blinked at pretty much the same interval.

Night sky. Looked like 6 planes converging as though they were going to crash. Then they lined up vertically with perfect spacing in between them and hovered for at least 10 minutes. I was driving so I don't know how long they stayed there. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she sounded to us to be quite responsible. We suspect that she is a reliable witness. PD
