Most of the objects seemed to just be floating on an E/SE direction, two of the moved in the opposite direction and up and down rapidly before fading completely.

I have a five-minute video, taken around 1am from approximately 18th & Chambers, looking north. There were multiple lights, orange, traveling from west to east with a slightly upward arch. They seemed to just disappear as they moved upward one by one in relative formation. I do NOT believe in the idea of aliens visiting our planet, but I am not able to identify what I saw or filmed on my android phone. I kept the image static, did not zoom in, and did not vocalize during the video. You are able to see the lights and surrounding buildings in the frame. Since I stopped in the middle of 18th street, occasionally a westbound vehicle is viewable as it passes by. I have not uploaded the image anywhere and have only shown it to a few friends to get their reactions and interpretations. No one to this point seems to have come up with a plausible explanation. I've been unable to find any other reports of any celestial lights of this kind online. I am not comfortable uploading the video but am willing to have anyone who's not a quack interested in viewing it to do so. I am worried about uploading the video as I am NOT interested in having it show up on some TV idiotic show. Contact me via email or phone if interested. I would like someone to possibly tell me what these might have been.

Romulus, MI
I live by the airport so I'm used to seeing planes and lights. But what I saw was a huge slow moving craft moving up an down. Then pausing and staying completly still. I felt like I can't look away. Then I notice 2 small lights moving towards the stationary craft. The move towards it and form a triangle. They moved up down, then streaked off. It was weird.

Barboursville, WV
I was driving and we were on our way back from Bowen's Ridge Church near Huntington, and I saw 6 golden colored lights on the horizon to our left and pointed it out to the others. The lights looked like they were in a lop sided diamond shape and they went over the road from left to right of us. As we got beside they were above West Pea Ridge Barboursville beside exit 15 off 64. They were golden colored bright and spreading out moving up and down and just hovering about 500 to 1000 yards diagonally to us in the sky. By the time we pulled off the highway they were behind the trees. We went to the exit 18 turned around went back and they were gone.

Manchester, NH
Square shaped formation of red lights with a solid gray center- 6 lights made up a trapezoid shape with one additional red light ahead of the others was seen flying below the cloud cover. The lights then took on different formations before flickering and then suddenly the lights one by one flickered and were completely gone. The mass was huge- the size of a football field but did not make a sound. Helicopters could be heard after the object disappeared.

Houston, TX
Heading south on highway 518 in Friendswood, we noticed a strange formation in the skies above Sugarland, or south west of us. There were 6 or 7 hovering fireballs, moving slowly with tails. Then they started to separate and disappear. The last one standing appeared to have a red light hovering by it, maybe an airplane or chopper. The objects were large and bright. In all, the event looked to be a very large scale slow mo version of firework. I have never seen anything like it, nor can explain what it was.

Ashburn, VA
Driving up suburban road in a northwest direction, this would be in the direction to western Maryland, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania.. Driving up i noticed what I first thought to be a firework that had just exploded from the look of spread out blue orbs. Getting a better look i noticed that these where stationary blue orbs, these orbs where a type of blue that is akin to the color of dark tropical water, with a majority of them clustered in a vertical line and to the immediate right around five of these orbs where spread out but still within the height of the first vertical cluster. These orbs stayed in a stationary location, I went inside my house and check up on them about ten minuets after first seeing them, and they where no longer visible. i did not see them disperse. Living near a large international airport i see many planes and many types of them and this was absolutely not a plane or any other conventional type aircraft that i have ever seen based on the formation of the lights and the lack of movement within the formation itself. while driving home i did have unusual radio problems.

Fort Myers, FL
It was 6:35 A.M. and I noticed 2 bright lights in the northwestern sky, it was still dark. If they were stars, I had never noticed them before in the morning sky. I watched them for approximately 20 – 30 seconds. They were side by side and very bright white, they never moved. It was like they were on a dimmer switch, they then both faded to nothing. I figured they were covered by clouds. I watched for another 15–20 minutes, nothing reappeared. I also realized that there were NO clouds in the sky. They were NOT aircraft and there was no sound. That’s it.

Bowling Green, KY
My friends and I were outside smoking in the early morning. We saw a bright light moving over a small mountain that sits next to my friend's house it was moving fast. It slowly turned over a field that was across a major road in town. Another set of three bright lights appeared slowly moving toward the other set of lights that went past the house. They both flew around circling each other and then they left flying off becoming faint.

Globe, AZ
While traveling south on US 60/77 near the old town of McMillanville, roughly 15 miles north of Globe, AZ, we witnessed a string of 5 amber lights in a straight line. The lead light went out and came back on in the rear. This continued in succession until they eventually all went out. When the last one went out, we could see a black object where the light was then all disappeared. The lights seemed to be 30 feet apart and did not break the straight line formation.

At first, my husband and I thought they were flares, but they were not progressing across the sky - it was almost as if they were rotating on a disc, appearing to move left to right.

San Tan Valley, AZ
While Driving Home on Cloud Rd. In SanTan Valley, I noticed a string of 4 to 5 white lights that appeared to be changing positions from end to end. Pulled over to get a video and they winked out. There are several videos that were taken and submitted to the news room of channel 3 and Channel 15 in Phoenix. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Deer Park, NY
On October 24th, 2016, about 11:30 est, I noticed a ragged line of five or six very dim orange lights (roughly the color but considerably dimmer than a neon bulb) about the width of my palm at arm's length. Each individual light round with a dark border and a bit smaller than the fingernail over my pinky finger. They silently crossed the sky broadside from east to west, across the constellation of Perseus in the space of about three or four seconds.

Orange lights low in the eastern sky, as seen from interstate 355 and Southwest highway. Most holding in a formation relative to one another and stationary in sky, though possibly descending slowly while in formation. Appeared to be between Harlem Avenue and Ridgeland avenue, east of 191st st.

Lansing, MI
Sitting outside last night and looked in the sky and seen 3 objects that looked like upside down V's. They had a reddish orange glow and flew in formation with one leading. After a few seconds of trying to figure out what they were they disappeared. Just like that they were gone then another set appeared. These ones flew slowly across the sky then started blinking. I'm not sure what I saw but I do know I have never seen anything like it before.

High Point, NC
While looking at a very large and bright object toward the West of town, we noticed that the object would frequently change shape, move, and occasionally dim/disappear. Around this same object, were a approximately 4 small balls of light that seemed to communicate with each other, along with being in a zig-zag formation. Over our home during this same period of time, we witnessed 2 similar balls of light travelling horizontally in sequence seemingly connected by a dark beam; when pointed out by an individual, the beam disappeared causing the balls of light to disconnect but were still travelling in the same path. Each night afterwards, similar occurrences and activities have appeared near or around our home, day or night----as if they are watching us. Taunting us with what we know and cannot prove to others. Whether or not we can see the smaller balls of light, the larger object appears nightly at approx. the same time (7pm) and leaves approx. the same time (8:15-8:30pm).

Watching the orionid meteor shower... This thing flew North to South. I first thought it was birds, in a "v" formation. It was not. It was totally silent, and moving very fast. The object was massive. And parts were cloaked as you could see right thru it.

They moved west to east and covered the entire skyline in 4 seconds. They appeared to be at a high altitude and were only not emitting light but seemed to be reflective.
