The UFO hovered approximately 30-50ft above the ground (however high georgia pine tree are) and as it made it way across the night sky its slowly turned into a L shaped object and all 4 red lights became constant as it made its way toward where Sewart Air Force Base in cobb county would be located it eventually went out of sight due to the highly dense forest.

Okay, so I've had multiple sightings over the years. I woke up after a night of quite strange dreams. I noticed I had a very odd marking on my torso. Photo submitted by source of report shows multiple, small red marks on the left side of her chest. PD

I walked outside to let our dog ((dog's name deleted)) go to the bathroom and there they were just hovering, I'm guessing 2 or 3 miles away from me, bright orange in color. I ran back inside and called for my wife to come see them and grabbed my camera, ran back out and got one shot off, and then whatever it was vanished! Our dog ((dog's name deleted)) was going nuts, barking and then trying to get back into the house.

20 or more round, magenta colored objects. Seen from Howarth Park looking northeast. The magenta lights were moving independently and all moving north. Some appeared to be dimming in brightness. Over the course of 2-3 minutes, all 20+ of them disappeared. A separate observer filmed the sighting and claims that near the bottom of the formation, there was a bright wisping white circle. There appeared to be 3-4 man made lights approaching the magenta lights

When I was coming home from the store, I saw bright orange lights, almost like stars, floating in the sky. Six of them were near the horizon almost behind the mountains and dimmer than the others, seven were to the right of the moon and almost looked like the little dipper but when two of them drifted further away it was very apparent that they were not stars. Three were to the left of the moon, one faded before the rest did but one was flashing faintly. Five more were directly above in the sky. After about 5 minutes, they all began to rise and eventually drifted up and faded until they were no longer visible. When I got home, several of my neighbors said they saw the lights too and couldn't make out what they were. I also called a friend in another part of town and she said she saw them as well, but further north meaning they were fairly close to the ground.

Asheboro, NC
From my viewpoint, I saw four lights in a square formation, to the left and just below the North Star. They were only as bright as evening stars and constant, not blinking or flickering. I watched them as they move in formation from the right side of the North Star to the left side. They stayed in a square, for the most part, moving simultaneously closer to each other then away from each other making the square smaller then again larger. While doing this, they did change places, moving from corner to corner in a clockwise direction. The west to east movement of the formation ended when at the lower right hand corner light moved out further away from being square, the only time the formation was not square. Then all four of the lights disappeared at the same time. I did not time how long it was, but estimate it was about one to two minutes in duration. The lights were high in the sky and my view was not obstructed when they disappeared. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and we found him to be eloquent and serious-minded. We suspect that he is a highly reliable witness. PD

Magdalena, NM
At around 0602 local time, Tues., Jan. 10, we saw a group of lighted objects in the sky, in a triangular formation, heading east, altitude around 20,000', speed 300-400 kits. Seemed like a perfect formation. The triangle spanned about 25 degrees in the sky. The outside lights of the triangle had navigation lights. The central lights of the triangle were not flashing, and the lead light was actually a very bright and tight cluster of lights. We heard a jet engine, not noisy, quiet almost like a commercial flight. At 0640 local, the group passed over the Magdalena mountains again heading east, estimated same speed and altitude. This time there were 9 aircraft with navigation lights that appeared to be loosely following a large craft that had a bright cluster of lights towards the rear of the structure that were not navigation lights.

We often see strange lights gathered in this spot. We were playing Scrabble last night and the house shook and rumbled so my husband and daughter looked outside and saw what they believe to be two fighter jets. Fifteen minutes later we left for mass and saw 9 lights gathered at the spot! In 9 years, we have never seen that many lights gathered there. It is highly unusual.

San Anselmo, CA
I come walking down the street and turn the corner and immediately notice approximately a dozen bright yellow lights hovering about a half mile to a mile to the east of me. These lights are all at eye level and are hovering in a large group over the city of San Anselmo centered around the Red Hill area. Behind this group there is a V or triangular shaped formation of 3 lights that look just as if they came out of a welder's torch or a soldering gun.I walked over to talk to a woman that was looking through the trunk of her car and said do you see what is going on over here. She joined me for about 15 minutes as we observed this group of brightly lit objects. She was very concerned and totally amazed at what she was seeing and had never seen anything like this before. There were two large objects about 200 yards apart with approximately 7 to 10 objects in between these 2 large objects. It looked like these objects were swarming in between these 2 large brightly lit objects like bees swarming around a hive. All of these lights looked the same except they varied in brightness. These objects looked like they wanted to be seen and were totally cluttering up this small area with no attempt to cloak themselves or become dimmer. This concerned neighbor and I were looking at this object on the far left of this formation for 10 to 15 minutes and could not make out any specific shape to it, except to say that it had streams of light coming of it, and that it looked like an oblong "lava lamp". Finally this object on the left began to strobe or blink and started heading southwest toward Mt. Tamalpais area with all the other objects following. My neighbor said this was going to be bothering her and she was going to be thinking about this all night long and was going to be upset if this was not talked about on the news.I told her I witnessed a crazy amount of activity the night before but the activity was farther away and out over the bay near San Rafael.

I am trying to get other people on FB or otherwise to say they if saw it... I posted to FB 30 seconds after my witness, trying to get another witness. I was just casually outside having a smoke. I am an artist, and generally interested in the clouds, the stars, what the sky looks like. I wasn't paying any special attention. I saw the constelletion Orion, and thought, "that's odd; I don't think this rises for hours?" The sun was up, so not that visable. It started moving north across the sky way way way too fast to be stars. I was in Austin corner of 51/Airport this formation headed north. They looked like evening stars, except evening stars don't move even close to that fast. I sometimes have vision problems, so I kept taking my glasses on off, on off, on off. NO I saw the same thing either way. Last I checked, Orion doesn't change ten degrees in 30 seconds.

Rochester, NY
Driving 490 West on the East side of the Genesee River, I first noticed a formation of white lights, as if the object had multiple lights, brighter white lights on the outside with smaller white lights outlining what looked to be a large craft. I could not see the craft, only the white lights. The lights were unmoving, unwavering and not blinking. Prior to this, while driving through Fairport, I had seen a moving object, which looked similar, however I dismissed it as an airplane, as it was flying in the direction of the airport. Shortly after seeing this larger object, I noticed several, I was driving so couldn't really stare at them, but there were a minimum of 10 bright red lights in the sky to the south of the highway, sporadically hanging in the sky. They were intensely bright and some were moving around. Visually they looked like a column of red lights there were simply not in a row, and they ranged from close to the rooftops to well into the sky.

Davenport, CA
On a bright, windless day, driving south along the coast around 1pm, I saw first one, and then a total of five aircraft, make their way down from the coastal mountains, across the highway, and out over the ocean. There was also a small Cessna type aircraft buzzing up and down the coast. These five aircraft at first seemed small, but then it appeared they were all very large, seen at a distance of a quarter mile. They were somehow very dark, too dark to identify any markings despite the bright sun overhead. They looked like large bombers in shape, but then again, not. Very hard to describe their shape. Kind-of like military planes but kind-of not. They looked more like some sort of squashed plane, with a short nose and squat wings, but very large. It was very hard to tell. The reason I am posting this is because they were traveling at a speed SLOWER than the birds around me. Even at the distance from me, I could see the small prop plane moving faster than the five large aircraft. They didn’t make sense. They should not of have been airborne, moving so incredibly slowly. It doesn’t make any sense. Only balloons can travel that slowly, or maybe a hand-glider. They should have fallen out of the sky. They moved in formation all the way out to the ocean and I lost sight of them. I don’t understand. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Dickinson, TX
INTRODUCTION: As witnessed once before on 05-04-2012 at approx. 2225 hours by myself (see report submitted 05/13/2012 – Santa Fe, Texas) under the same ideal circumstances, while on my way to work as a police officer in Galveston, Texas, I see these strange lights in the eastern sky again. DETAILS: As stated above, it was after dark at approx. 7:30 P.M. While on my way to work an extra (side) job this time as a police officer from my home 23 miles away. I have watched the sky's ever since the first time I saw these things, perplexed for the longest time and wondering if I'd ever see them again? There's a whole lot of increased air traffic than ever before these days including military being this close to N.A.S.A. and the commercial air ports, etc. in and around Houston, Texas, which is what's always draws my attention especially after dark. This is what initially got my attention tonight, more than usual of which I was able to tell the difference between fixed wing air craft and helicopter's circling and crisscrossing the night sky in a grid search like pattern would be the only way I could put it? As if they were obviously attempting to either identify, locate, photograph, video, intercept, engage if necessary/even possible, or even perhaps the source themselves for these strange lights? I'm not saying they were, however I strongly suspect said air craft seeking out these strange lights were of our military in nature rather than commercial? Especially regarding the recent crash 3-5 days ago of one of The U.S. Army's Apache I believe it was, Helicopter's , killing the only two Air National Guardsmen aboard, either in The Galveston Bay or The Gulf itself I cant recall at this time? I have yet to follow up on whats to be known of that? One of several flying routine patrol's it appears post 911 and awful low along the edge's of The Gulf at night as if they're either expecting or suspecting something? I was on a different road way (State Highway 517 in Dickinson) this time, the next town to the north of Santa Fe but parallel's High Way 1764 regarding where I saw the strange lights in 2012. Trying to pay attention to my driving and watch the night sky's at the same time in scanning the south eastern sky's at, about, or over The Gu! lf of Mexico, BAM! There they were again. Only this time I was! some wh at prepared. I had a camera in the car for this very reason of which I will work on getting a copy of a 55 second some what decent video to you at N.U.F.O.R.C., you tube, etc. if I can the first chance I get . DISCRIPTION OF STRANGE LIGHTS: The only thing different regarding these strange “orbs of light” - “fire balls”, etc. were the formation and color. As personally seen before and by hundred's of others world wide it seems, were some of the very same “orange” in color. This time, they appeared predominantly all white, to green and orange forming two separate triangular in nature type pattern's of 5 each with approx. another 8-9 that I could count from the video I took scattered about all of which, acting in what has become an all too familiar way as described, photographed, videoed, etc. in the way they come and go and distinct formations. I personally am so tired of seeing and/or hearing main stream media and other obstructionist type individuals all to often willing to write something off they can not easily explain away as these stupid “Chinese Lantern's”, "flare's" of some sort, etc. being the reason why I took the time in constructing and submitting this report. I feel safe in stating in what we do know is, THIS IS NOT, what they are, period. Something definitely appears to be going on whether meant to be secretive in nature or not in these strange lights showing themselves and frequency cited since 2012 in the "well written article" linked to this home page. DISPOSITION: Supplemental information forthcoming.

Anchorage, AK
From the viewpoint of the north end of Muldoon area near the Glenn Hwy, at 10 minutes after midnight (Happy New year's, guys!) we saw 5 or 6 clusters of what looked like small orange steady lights, 3 to a group, each group of three kept a perfectly tight triangle pattern/formation. They came up from the south at a medium speed, too slow for a firework rockets or flares, but faster than most airplanes. They slowed to a stop still in formation & still due south, hard to guess the distance being dark, but my guess would be about 500-800'in altitude & maybe 5-8 miles due south from us. The groups of three seemed to keep perfectly together within each group as if there was one object with three lights each but the different groups of three would vary slightly in position relative to the other groups. Once they stopped they were still moving slightly around but staying in the same rough area. There were no flashing lights but the Orange balls seemed to slightly pulse with a subtle color shift from almost yellow to deep reddish orange. After watching for 2-3 minutes, I ran inside to grab my camera but when I got back less than a minute later, they were gone or moved too low to see due to a 2 story apartment blocking my view. At first I thought they were part of the neighborhood fireworks, but after watching, it was clear that they weren't. We were joking about the fact that they SEEMED to act like they came in close to watch the midnight fireworks show, then left when the fireworks were thinning to a close. Also, they made no sound that could be heard. That could have been because of the distance and/or the fireworks' noise. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

There were 6 objects flying in formation with a bright red light going in direction south-north along the beachline. The objects moved slow but steady. No sound emited, no flashing lights. Then they dissapeared all of a sudden, leaving no trace. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I just finished eating dinner with my family. Me and my step brother walked outside to launch bottle rockets for New Years. I looked up and saw a formation of Red star like objects moving in a southwest direction swerving left to right the distance was at a very high altitude. We were launching fireworks at the time, so I thought it could of been falling ambers from the fireworks, but after the fireworks stopped, the objects kept moving in a southwest direction, then faded away. I was completely sober and was not drinking.

Huntsville, AL
I observed two apparently high flying objects on 12/30/16 from about 2:41 pm to 2:45 pm , moving west to east. The objects, which were white, widely spaced, tiny pricks of light in an otherwise perfectly blue, clear sky moved in unison, with no visible difference in speed between them. They were barely visible to the naked eye. Polarized sun glasses helped make them much more visible due to their ability to darken the blue sky. They moved out of sight to the east and moved in a very straight line the entire time of the observation. Prevailing winds were light and westerly. I photographed the objects with my full frame DSLR and was barely able to fit the objects in the same frame at 165mm focal length. I may have been content to believe they were balloons, but, approximately 8 or 10 minutes later, the same, or very similar objects were observed moving from north to south in very close formation, they were right next to each other. They were observed for approximately a minute. Their track appeared to be exactly perpendicular to that of the original two objects (I had a house dormer to compare them against), and they moved in unison as the others did. The wind had not changed direction.

Davie (heading to Hollywood/Ft. Lauderdale), FL
While driving on 595 from West to East, just passing the turnpike ramp; I saw what I thought was a bright star. Only it didn't "twinkle" but it did have that star effect that emitted rays in a "T". I refocused by sight to make sure if what I was seeing, but to me at the time & I suppose my mind was trying to reason with what I was seeing, I saw the top portion of the object. Seemed like a plane, since it had those red & green lights on the ends, but it then I start noticing that it also had light on top, that changed colors in a pulse of blue, green, red, purple. At this same time, the bright white light started to dim. I had to get my eyes back on the highway for a bit then I searched for it again but I couldn't find it again. I scanned the area in the sky where I spotted it. I found it once more, only the light wasn't as bright & it didn't have that "T" of light rays. & since the light wasn't as bright, I could start making out the color of the object & more or less the shape. It was a dark white/light gray in what seemed like a mini blimp or maybe it could have been blimp sized but really far. The final feature before it left was the "opening", as if the object open & closed like Pac-Man & the light was inside Pac-Man's mouth. It did this only twice & it was gone, it was stationary the entire time. I couldn't find it again but I did search for it for about 30 mins

Tucson, AZ
While a passenger in our car heading south in Tucson, Arizona, I glanced out the window and saw approximately ten large bright round reddish-orange lights flying in formation in the western sky. They formed two parallel but slightly “zigzag” rows: the first few lights forming a straight east to west line with the rest of the line continuing slightly farther back; the second row of lights created an identical row behind it, each light being equidistant from the one in front of and beside it. The first thing I did was lower the car window to rule out reflections on the glass. I could make out no forms nor sound of aircraft and these lights were solid, not blinking as normally seen on aircraft. They were not individual lights on a larger craft as I could make out faint clouds in the sky behind and between them. I watched them move Northward across the sky until I couldn't careen my neck any farther out the car window to see them. They maintained the same formation the entire time, and did not “fade out” as flares would. I waited to file a report until I had a chance to: 1) drive down the same stretch of road again, at the same time of day, to see if there were any extremely high light poles or radio towers, etc., that could have accounted for the lights and; 2) contact the local Air Force base to confirm whether they had conducted any drills, flare releases, or other such maneuvers that night. The answer was no on both counts.
