Brandon, FL
me and my boyfriend were driving along Bloomingdale Ave around 9pm. I saw what appeared to be a shooting star. Less than two minutes later my boyfriend saw another one. we turned onto John Moore which is the approximate direction the stars disappeared. halfway down the road I looked to my left and my heart dropped. I saw a hovering blimp like structure right above the treetops about less than a mile away. It had blinking red lights. my boyfriend thought it was a blimp at first but it was lighting up the area around it. we were driving to our destination and it still didn't move. less than two hours later we left the place we were at and it was gone. there was nothing in the sky for miles around us. if it was a blimp I imagine if it wasn't moving before it would still be there. but nothing. I've seen a blimp before and that wasn't a blimp. I was never that scared or felt like I was being watched like that before. someone else had to see it because there was still a good amount of people still or driving.

As I begin to head down Broad. st to get home (I am walking) the object seems to move very slowly to the right, than heads not straight up, but forward away from my direction the opposite way and dims out as it hits a dense dark cloud. I take a right turn down Grand Ave, right off of Broad. St, the first right after the bank so now I'm heading the direction this thing was going the last I seen it which was maybe only 25-30 seconds, as I'm waking what looks like a giant, bright street light traveling at a respectable speed that I won't even attempt to try to measure, it was incredibly bright and looked much, much lower than it appeared to be the last time I saw it, if this was an airplane than there had to have been at least some sort of sound, but it was completely silent as it eerily, smoothly, and easily floated diagonally through the sky to my right. This thing was so bright and eerie that I desperately looked around to see if anyone else was seeing what I was seeing, I was hoping at least someone would be out walking their dog because if any one was out at this time especially on Grand ave the object would have been a very obvious sight, but no one was around. I try to keep pace with the object as it starts to enter another large dense, dark, natural cloud... I've never seen anything like this as it literally made my heart beat go crazy and I got a slight adrenalin rush, the whole time while observing the object I kept telling myself that it was real and I was seeing it, like I described before, the object started out as a very bright, streetlight colored star that was very low and very obviously out of place, when I seen it the second time it was drastically lower, I could make out the shape to be sort of like a football, the color remained that solid old streetlight, orange with a very bright glow around it, I've described the thing to people as a flying streetlight with out the pole. Very eerie and unsettling, considered calling the police.

Le 24 décembre 2015 vers 19h40 un témoin dans son jardin observe une lueur orange très lumineuse, traversant silencieusement le ciel dégagé d'Est en Ouest. La lueur rétrécit et disparait. Un seul témoignage sera recueilli. Les indications données par le témoin orientent l'enquête vers l’observation d'une lanterne dont on retrouve toutes les caractéristiques : lueur orangée, se déplaçant poussée par le vent, sans bruit, puis disparaissant en s'éteignant. Nous allons confirmer cette hypothèse : Tout d'abord, le témoin fait état de contradiction dans son compte-rendu. Il déclare préalablement que le phénomène "a traversé le ciel de plein Est vers plein Ouest". Puis dans la description détaillée du phénomène il indique une trajectoire "Ouest/Est". Pour lever l’ambiguïté, nous prendrons en compte la position du phénomène par rapport à la lune, qu'il décrit "à droite et en- dessous de la Lune". Les éphémérides du (calendrier lunaire) font état d'une phase 1 jour avant la pleine Lune, avec un levé à 15:39 (TU) ce 24 décembre 2015. La Lune se positionne à l'Est (levée depuis 3 heures), à la gauche du témoin qui observe vers le Sud. La position du phénomène à droite de la Lune (à l'Ouest en observant vers le Sud) conduit à une trajectoire Ouest/Est ce qui corrobore sa description détaillée. La météo à la station de Belfort-Dorans, à moins de 10 km au Sud relevée sur Météociel indique un "ciel dégagé, visibilité à 20 km" avec un "vent d'Ouest de 10/20 km/h en pointe". Un objet flottant est donc poussé d'Ouest vers l'Est, ce qui correspond à la trajectoire du phénomène. Le témoin décrit une lueur orangée d'une taille de 1/4 à 1/3 de la pleine Lune, puis se réduisant à un point lumineux avant de disparaitre par extinction. Notons que c'est la nuit du réveillon de Noël, propice à ce genre de manifestations festives. En conclusion le GEIPAN classe le cas en B : observation probable de lanterne thaïlandaise. [GEIPAN classification B — Lanterne thai]

Costa Mesa, CA
Spotted bright oval shaped craft moving north to south slowly in the morning. From My point in Costa Mesa, it looked to be over Santa Ana, or Tustin. About 6 or 7 miles from me. Brightly lit, not moving fast. Went behind a low hanging cloud.

Waveland, MS
I had just left my friend's house and was in an elated mood. It was around 0230 in the morning. I know this, because I pulled over and drew two pictures on my phone that are time-stamped immediately following my experience. I was heading northbound about to make a right turn that would have me parallel to railroad tracks approximately two blocks from the beach on the Gulf Coast. About 20-30 yards before making my right turn, I suddenly noticed a very bright light above my car. I remember thinking to myself, "Where is this light coming from?" It appeared very suddenly and was extremely bright, almost blinding. This blinding light caught my immediate attention, because I drove past this area almost every other night to see my best friend and this light was never there before. Just as soon as I noticed the light, it was gone. I take a right at a stop sign (now going northeast) and am now parallel with the aforementioned railroad tracks. I went approximately 1.6 miles when I suddenly noticed what appeared to be a metallic saucer-like flying object in the sky appear before my eyes. It was about 50 yards northwest of me, on the other side of the tracks, hovering above a big brown house. I know exactly which house it was to this day which is why I can tell you exactly how far I drove. There was light emitting from the bottom of the UFO going down in a V shape, like a tornado, over the house with the same hue of "true" white light that was above my car not long before. I will now describe the UFO to you. It was disk-shaped but fairly thick/tall/great in height. Part of me wants to tell you to think of an oval as opposed to being flatter, like a disk. There were lights going horizontally across the sides that repeated this pattern: )•( )•( )•( )•( with the lights being only the center dots (white light) and the parentheses just being metallic accents in the structure itself. What I remember extremely vividly is that while this object was stationary in mid-air above this two-story house, I could tell it was vibrating in place very strongly. I watched this object hover over the house for what seemed like a minute, in reality probably only 10-20 seconds, while driving very slowly. I was fixated on it. I could not see anything inside the white light emitting from the bottom. Then the UFO was just gone. It didn't fly away quickly. It didn't dart back into the sky above. It didn't slowly disappear from sight as it got farther away or anything. It was just gone before my eyes. I couldn't believe what I had just seen, so I pulled over immediately to document it while it was fresh in my mind. I opened up Snapchat because was the first thing I thought of to draw with since I had no pen and paper with me; I drew two pictures. One drawing is of my view, showing my car in relation to the UFO and the tracks, and the other drawing is of the UFO itself with all the detail I could place at the time. I will be emailing you those two drawings plus a Google Maps image of where I was facing. I'm telling this now because I've been too afraid to previously. I've heard about the strange deaths/ disappearances of people who talk about these kinds of first-hand experiences so I was very deterred from telling anyone what I witnessed, even close friends. I ask that if you choose to contact me, which I'm very open to, please either inform me beforehand or leave a voicemail for me to call you back, because I have a tendency to not pick up for numbers I don't know. Thank you for your time.

Co-worker and I (and confirmed with security guard 5 miles away at jobsite) saw a blue and green light just appear in sky above Otay Mesa/Mexico (beautiful blue light on left beautiful emerald green light on right). The bright green light got brighter and brighter, and object took off in the south west direction.

I saw what appeared to be a Blue orb or disc shaped UFO Streak across the sky at around 2 am in the morning. I was outside smoking a cigarette when this happened. This did not appear to be a Meteor and it was in low orbit. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. PD

Palm Desert, CA
Driving west on Fred Waring in Palm Desert, I saw two disk-shaped objects in the clear sky. They were headed relatively fast towards west, seemed to be quite high up in the air, and I couldn’t hear any sound. (I was in a car so that may have been the reason.) The two objects were close to each other and kept the same distance and configuration. They were both identical in appearance: Oval, dark in color, somewhat metallic looking. At the time, I and the driver of the car had no idea what they may be. They didn’t look like anything I had seen before, and I couldn’t think of anything known they could be. They went too fast for being a balloon. They were definitely not birds. It was daylight so they were not obviously planets or meteors. They were not civilian drones since they went fast and continued over the mountains. They did not have the shape of any airplane I have seen. Thinking back now, it is possible that they were two helicopters and we didn’t see the rotors or any of the things normally protruding from helicopters. It’s possible, but it does seem unlikely that we wouldn’t have seen any of those things and the perfect oval shape of both objects didn’t fit the shape of helicopters I have seen. It is possible that they were military drones flying in perfect formation and with no visible or audible form of propulsion. I don’t know if military drones comes in a perfectly oval shape. It was certainly an odd sight. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Hi Peter I am sorry, it was approximately 9am. ((END ADDENDUM)) Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

There were green and blue lights lining all over the side of the craft, blinking as it descended diagonally, blue smoke emitting from the back, and it suddenly disappeared mid fall, like it was never there.

Le 5 décembre 2015 à 17h55 un automobiliste et son fils observent durant 1 minute un phénomène stationnaire jaune orangé et aussi brillant que Vénus dans le ciel. Aucun bruit particulier n'est entendu. Le témoin détourne la tête et lorsqu'il regarde à nouveau, le phénomène a disparu. L'observation d'un gros point lumineux dans le ciel durant une minute peut avoir plusieurs origines : -Le reflet du soleil sur un satellite, Iridium ou autre : une vérification sur le site Calsky n'indique aucun satellite candidat. -le reflet du soleil sur le fuselage ou les ailes d'un avion : à cette heure-ci, lorsque le soleil est à moins de 7° sous l'horizon, il faudrait que l'avion soit à plus de 15000 m pour être encore au soleil. -un avion vu de face, phares éclairés : une vérification sur le site Flightradar indique qu'un avion au décollage de Carcassonne passe juste dans l'axe d'observation des témoins à ce moment précis. Cet avion a probablement décollé phares allumés, et le pilote les aura éteints une fois atteint une altitude suffisante, ou bien les témoins sont sortis du cône de lumière des phares de l'avion. Etant face aux témoins, lesquels sont aussi en mouvement dans leur véhicule, ce point lumineux a paru immobile durant une minute. Après extinction des phares, ou sortie des témoins du cône de lumière, les feux de navigation, bien moins puissants, sur un ciel encore un peu lumineux, ont pu échapper au regard des témoins qui cherchaient une puissante lumière. Le GEIPAN classe ce cas "A" : observation des phares du vol RYR 1761. [GEIPAN classification A — Avion de ligne]

Columbia, CT
I was driving home from work when I noticed a light in the sky. It looked kind of round in shape and was a solid light. It appeared to not be moving at all and that is when I grabbed my cell phone and began recording. It is really hard for me to remember exactly how everything occurred because I was really in shock at what I was seeing. After I started recording I believe the craft started moving in one direction. I tried keeping my phone on it while driving and right as it was going to be completely out of my view it shot straight up in the air and was gone. The craziest part of the whole thing is after I got home and watched the video multi times I noticed more lights really high in the sky that I had not noticed when I was driving. I have the video and am willing to submit it. I noticed at the bottom of this page an email to send images. The video I have is too large to send. I'm not all that tech savy, if someone can help and explain how to send it I would gladly send the video.

I had my husband and kids come out to look because I just wanted someone else to witness it. My husband thought it may be a plane, but I made him stand with me just to see how weird this thing was moving. This went on for over an hour. It wasn't a balloon or helicopter or plane. It wasn't a star. Possible sighting of Venus or Jupiter? PD

Macomb, MI
Looking out by front window at 20:00 we saw a number of UFO's with orange lighting around 2000 feet in the sky. The objects were moving from north to south very slow. One craft split from the group going east at very high speed until I could not see the light of the craft, about 3 seconds. Another split from the group about the same time and went straight up until I lost sight of its light. Both crafts came back at almost the same time as fast as they both left. The night was very clear, and as the craft passed over the roof of my house we ran to the back of the house to see them but they all left before they reached the view of my rear windows.

But that's not even the weird part. We kept driving and joked that it looked like a giant meteor that was headed strait for our town. I started to drive in a North-west direction, towards what we saw, out of pure curiousity. Maybe 20 minutes later we were near the highway and we saw the light again. Bigger and brighter than before it shined through the trees. As we drove foward and the trees disappeared to make room for the highway exit, two more bright orange lights appeared next to it. Now, there were three of these lights in a row, similar to orions belt, two of them in line with each other and the other slightly off-center. The two on the ends were not as bright as the one in the middle which looked slightly bigger than the others. I really couldn't tell how far away the lights actually were because they were so bright. All three of us saw the same thing. This was by Route 3 in Billerica.

Watched a extremely bright, circular shape go streaking across the sky, was no airplane or helicopter, way to fast..and it was low, lower than any aircraft..and it was not a shooting star. I am completely baffled and freaked out by what we saw.
