Jenner, CA
I was observing the night sky, near the Triangulum constellation when I noticed two orange light (looked like a stars) behave strangely. They came from opposite directions, circled each other then the lights moved back and forward really quickly in unnatural directions, one of the lights then sped up out of sight then I lost track of them.

I was looking at what I thought was the big dipper, noticing the stars flicker as one near the end of the "handle" was brightening and started to flicker red and white like an airplane's nav light so I continued to focus on that stationary I'll say "light". after about 4 seconds the light with no delay or buildup of speed rapidly moved from due southeast to due west at easily about 3-4 times the speed of airplanes in view or about half the speed of a meteor burning up maybe twice the speed of a satellite. Then stopped flashing red to pulsing white only, fading over a span of 90° or so from my location. I have viewed many satellites/space junk, meteors, aircraft and some spacecraft and this was not an identifiable object. Basically it blended in with the other stars in color, stability, glint and Size until it decided to brighten change color a few times instantly get to its desired speed to a fading white pulse while exiting stage right, taking only a few seconds. It appeared to be outside the atmosphere but I really couldn't say for sure. Thanks, good luck.

I was sitting on my porch and noticed a large orange orb floating in place around 1000 ft across the road. I walked out to the road to get a better look and the orb was producing multi colored rays of light now and was white in appearance. After 5 minutes it split into 4 orange orbs for a minute, then formed one orange orb again and started slowly moving toward the east out of sight.

This is a follow up to a report I just submitted earlier. This is an iCloud link to the video. This goes well beyond a simple UAP sighting. Thanks, Michael https://share.icloud.com/photos/046RZ85L1GX6qHbaSrNWDrydA#Columbus

Wellington, CO
The only light to be seen. Very bright. Hovering, but moving fast up and down and sideways. Have seen it here before. It appears to be closer to the ground than a plane would fly. I saw a plane fly in the sky at the same time, and the plane was further away. Last time I saw it was maybe 9 months ago, I dont remember, but it moved un predicable, like would just dart up or sideways pretty far. This time from what I've seen so far it still goes from side to side, up and down but not as far. I took some pictures and video. You can't see it move as mush in my videos as you see in person. If you want to contact me you can. Email is best way to get a hold of me. Im not sure what it is but it moves pretty fast and just sits there then moves. Last time it was all over the sky. Just seems a little odd and out of place.

New Orleans, LA
I stepped out of my back apartment and saw a large star with red blood lights. I went into the main house and onto the front porch to take a closer look. I tried using an app to identify the star, but could not. When I tried to take a picture of it, it faded behind the clouds. I ran inside. I went into the front bedroom moments later and peeked out the window. It had returned.

Camino Capistrano, CA
Jan 21st, 9:20 pm. Important note: Wind Speed 16-18 mph My Friend and I were leaving a friends house after helping him install a winch on his car. No alcohol or other substances consumed. He and I get in our respective cars and are about to leave when a violet beam shoots across the sky. In the sky I could see a purple light that was completely stationary. I was on Camino Capistrano facing north and slightly east. The craft was almost perfectly north of my position. My friend proceeds to call me and asks if I am seeing what he is seeing. I start to drive and he follows. I take a right onto via catalina and then another right onto what I think was via california. I pull over and my friend pulls over behind me. Via california runs perpendicular to the coast so looking left is due north. We get out of our cars and stand there is awe at what ever the hell this thing is. The object while stationary was white with a blue aura, distinctly different from the bloom seen from the violate beam. It was about 20-30 degrees above the horizon, due perfectly north. The object seemed to be hovering over Dana Point, which was about 3 miles away. Given that and it was 20-30 degrees above the horizon it had to have been about 1.3 miles up. While moving the aircraft would move at a constant speed and get to that speed instantly and then stop on a dime. It did not appear to be moving all that fast while just strafing back and forth. While moving the object's color would also change, it would go between red, blue and green and the blue halo disappeared. When it stopped it would turn to white again the halo would return. The second thing to note about the beam is that it seemed to be making a circle as it passed by my friend and I on more than one occasion and the bloom from the laser would go away meaning that it was moving around independent of the craft. I say this because the craft would be perfectly still and the laser would move at a constant smooth speed. After a 10 or so jaw dropping minutes a helicopter flying north west was making a direct bee-line towards it. The craft started to move to the right, and almost like the game Pong, bounced off of something and flew the other way and didnt lose any speed. It continued to move away from the helicopter at a blistering speed for maybe 15-30 seconds until the helicopter peeled off. After the heli peeled off the object made a large arched turn to the west which brought it about face to the east, an areal u-turn I guess is the best way to describe it. It was moving about the rate same rate when the helicopter started to approach. At this point the object disappeared out of our line of view due to the house infront of us. We ran up the street to see around the house and it was gone. The two images I am providing is a street view of the street we were on and the approx flight path that the craft followed, solid lines were the times it was moving quickly. It made that square pattern a few times. In reality we were up the street a little bit, and back against the curb opposite of the houses in view. The second one was our distance to the navy helicopter field.

New Philadelphia, OH
I saw one bright orange flashing object kind of spinning like a satellite looks, only much closer to earth than normal. It appeared to be moving southwest and upwards away from me then a second exact same size and color object appeared also moving the same direction. There was no sound coming from the objects. Then they appeared to disappear. I did see what appeared to be a normal modern plane flying into the area where the orange flashing objects were at the end of the clip of my second video.

Henniker, NH
We were driving southbound on 202 we just passed the Henniker exit went off to the west above the tree line were eight red lights. There’s no other lights to the west we have a ski resort to the east but we had already passed it and this was a cluster above the tree line and as soon as I came over the hill and down I lost sight of them because of the trees. We drive this road nightly and there was no lights of this nature ever in this area were in a pretty rulal area. My son was in the car with me and we both wondered what it was because it was not planes or cell towers or anything of that nature

Bay City, MI
My Son and I were pulling into our driveway when he noticed 4 bright white balls of light, rotating in circles, meeting in the middle with a continuous pattern, with no light source coming or connecting to them from the ground. At one point, the lights started moving towards us, with two of the lights almost extending over us. When that happened, we ran inside and kept checking the lights and then they had vanished. We were not able to view the disappearing but we believe the lights were present for approximately 30 minutes. Approximately 20 minutes after the lights disappeared, I was told by a friend to film the area again and when filming I seen a bright but very small ball of light near me. Around 26 seconds into this video when I visualized it he small light I say, "What is.." as I moved the camera towards it and it disappeared. I honestly thought I just needed to blink until I reviewed the footage. I thought that myself 34 years old (Registered Nurse for Community Mental Health), Boyfriend 35 years old (Music Artist) and Son 11 years old were the only one to witness this. When picking up my Daughter from a stay at her Dad's her friends which are within a few blocks of our location had been sending her pictures and videos of the lights that they described as a UFO. I asked the local convenient store the next night if anyone had said anything about the lights in the sky last night with a 7-11 clerk said, "My girlfriend said it was lights from the Casino". Closest Casino is approximately 30 minutes away and the lights were not even in it's direction. My Boyfriend and I drove around while the lights were in the sky looking for a source but there was no light beams noticed and it was a very cloudy night you couldn't see a star in the sky. There has been no lights noticed in the sky since. I am having difficulty uploading the videos but can provide two videos.

farmville, VA
Visited the area with a friend and we were sitting in my car near the boat launch. It was approximately 2:30am, very windy, with low level clouds and fog. Three is no natural light source, so it was pitch dark. I noticed the objects first.There was approximately 8-10 craft (?) which appeared directly within our line of sight. There movements were erratic, and they seemed to be darting in and out of the cloud cover, side to side and up and down. Most were an intense electric blue color. A few appeared dark red. My companion thought they may be drones. These were no drones. The speed with which they moved was frightening. Their ability to instantly stop, or change direction,made me think I was hallucinating. They did not emit any sounds at all. Completely silent. We both got the distinct impression that they knew we were there and watching. While I didn't feel threatened, I did feel as though I was interrupting something. Twice, one of them would burst through the bottom of the cloud cover,stop, tilt slightly forward and a a bright white light would sweep rapidly side to side. It would briefly pause as it illuminated my vehicle. I was to dumbfounded to react. But fear was starting to set in. When the second object did the same 2 minutes later, we quickly left. I returned to Briery the next summer with a group of 5 friends to do some night fishing. That night was clear with a half moon visible. Something in the north eastern sky caught my eye and I looked up. And there they were. The same objects. They were further away this time, but making the same side to side and up and down movements. All five people saw the and could not stop watching. Again we all sensed they knew we were there and watching. And again, on occasion, one of them would dart forward toward where we were, and the "scanning light" would beam our way. I don't know what these craft were, where they are from, what they wanted, I do know that to my knowledge there are currently no aircraft that could come close to matching the speed and agility of the craft I saw those 2 nights.

Gretna, CA
The light remained the same size and brightness as it slowly fell from very high in the sky, over a 30 second period. When it appeared to be a couple thousand feet above ground, it faded to a red light for a couple seconds, then faded to a yellow glow, then faded out. It fell much slower than a shooting star or meteor. It had no tail. It had no flashing or variations in brightness until it turned red then orange. It fell at a speed that looked similar to a parachute. It must have been traveling fast, given the distance it went, but appeared to move slow, which made it very confusing to witness. I’ve seen many anomalies in the night sky, but nothing remotely similar to this.

I went outside to smoke a cigarette and as im sitting in my front yard i usually look at the stars and noticed the full moon last night wasn't in the same part of the sky so i walked out in the road looking around for the moon and i saw a ball of light it just looked like a star but very bright i kept looking for the moon trying to see if it was behind the trees and i looked back at the light and noticed it wasn't in the same spot it was farther too the right and so i stared at it for a few seconds and could see it was moving in one direction i continued looking at it for a few more seconds then ran inside to grab my binoculars and ran back out and looked at the light through my binoculars but it was too bright to make out any definitive features so i ran and grabbed my mom to get her to come see it by this time it has moved all the way across the sky but was still visible and as me and her got out side to watch it it was only visible for around 8 more seconds then it blinked out and completely vanished like the light it was emitting dimmed because it was very bright white then got dimmed down too a redish orange color that wasnt bright at all then disappeared. I also want to say i see satellites and planes all the time im always trying to see the ISS fly by but this thing was way too bright and seemed to be too low in altitude to be a satellite and planes make noises and they always have some kind of signal lights that are flashing and i also dont think this was a drone because i looked at it with my binoculars and it was so bright i couldn't see details.

Near Muhlenburg Airport, KY
At roughly 5:40PM CST, a P212 small air carrier aircraft's pilot asked us, Fort Campbell ATC, if we had any military aircraft operating at his 12 o'clock in 15 miles (roughly the HOP050035). There were no primary or secondary aircraft appearing on radar ahead of him and the pilot was informed of this. When asked why he inquired, the pilot reported orange/yellow lights that glowed brightly. When asked whether these lights dropped down like a flare, or whether they stayed at a constant altitude, the pilot responded that the lights stayed at roughly 5,000 ft. A few minutes later the pilot reported that he no longer saw the object.

Ontario, OR
I was turning off my front door light and looking out the door window for a second and looked up at approximate 45 degree angle several red to orange lights in a curved arc line seeming to be rotating right to left, while the leading light would seem to disappear into the clouds and one at the opposite end would appear as if rotating. This lasted about 2 minutes total until it disappeared into the clouds. The cloud level must have been low or some fog might have been present because it seemed so close and covering significant space. I tried to get video with my phone but was only able to catch the last couple of lights videoing through the door window. I didn't think I had time to put clothes and shoes on to get outside to video.

Jackson, MI
Three bright Orange lights, western sky, in triad, disappearing one by one, at about 6:29 pm EST in Jackson MI I was driving home from 5:30 pm Mass at St. Mary on Saturday Jan. 15, on my customary route, when I saw 3 very bright big orange-colored light objects in the air in the western sky at about tree level or above. I stopped my car at intersection (Franklin + Jackson), opened car door, tried to take picture, but one of the three had already disappeared; I took picture anyways with cell phone and remained at intersection; another of the lights disappeared within seconds; the third light was extinguished soon after as I then turned left *south), it was not there at next intersection. I do study and watch the sky at night, and know a little about planets vs. stars, but the color and size of these objects was unusual, if ephemeral. I have the photo of the two. Thanks, --ef

Hanford, CA
Traveling northbound Highway 41 in the California central valley, my friend and I witnessed a flying object approximately 300 ft elevation traveling westbound over the highway. The object displayed two large bright white lights (as a ghetto bird might use in downtown Fresno). It moved at approximately helicopter speed. As it turned northwest after crossing our line of sight I kept waiting to see the nav lights to become apparent but they never did. The object slowly traveled northwest over the coast range and and out of sight.

Toms River, NJ
When I viewed my ring video, I noticed something that looked like a fireball falling from the sky. As watched the video, I realized theat it was a very slow decent which took about 2 hours before it touched down behind my neighbors house. At the moment of it landing, a bright light lit up inside of their garage then it went out, but the light behind the house stayed on. About an hour later a small single light was seen passing behind one house to another.

San Juan (Puerto Rico), PR
I saw 2 'very bright' stars shape looking objects in trail. 30 degrees aprox. over the horizon. Looking east from San Juan, PR. I saw the ISS route in a web site afterwards. Maybe it was the ISS but the second object is the reason why I'm reporting a UFO. I seen the ISS before multiples times. I thought the ISS was being followed by a UFO.
