There are 3 Bright hovering lights above North East Oregon near the Blue Mountain Range, cannot verify shape, only that these bright objects are moving very slightly in contrast to the stationary stars behind them! At first I saw one, as it slowly rose into the sky, and then became stationary, noticed two others in a triangle shape above the city. Could see a plane flying nearby them, much closer by comparison.

A loud pulsating sound of low tone/pitch woke me up at approximately 3:00AM EST. The sound seemed to get closer and further away at random intervals. I've never heard a sound like this before. This did not sound like a combustion motor or any other motor I have heard. I tried to see if I could see anything in the sky but could not.

Heading south on 12 from Springfield Corners towards Madison. Bright white light towards Madison. Slightly higher and left from nearby radio antenna. Similar to a star but 10x brighter and slightly larger. Hovered still until streaking fast to the right and dissapearing. I was watching and expecting the object to turn and see red and green lights being near the airport, however the only light was a very bright whitish/blue. The object also dissapeared far faster than any jet could.

On Thursday January 26, 2017, at approximately 19:10 (+/-5), while looking in the WSW sky (240 degrees) I and two others were looking at Stars, Constellations and Mars/Venus. After showing them Mars/Venus using my Astro-Binoculars, I looked up (naked eye) and we all saw a second bright light (as bright as and appeared as large as the size of Venus (in the night sky) and it covered Mars. It traveled towards our direction (1 second) and then turned left (3-4 seconds) as the bright light faded away. As Private Pilot, I quickly noticed no navigational lights (Red/Green/or Red/White Flashing light).

Witness provides a high-quality photo, which strongly suggests to us that the object is Venus. PD

While walking the dog around 7 pm, looked up to see an object move from south to north. I watched it for 2-3 seconds. It had no color – it was black or even opaque, and had 3-4 very dim, shimmering lights. It almost seemed as if those lights were reflections of city lights, and not from the object itself, but rather reflecting off a dark or opaque surface. The shape was indeterminate. Given the speed and size, I would have guessed it was a small consumer drone, flying a couple hundred feet off the ground, maybe 100 feet from me. But it was completely silent. It also moved with the speed of a small jet, but again, completely silent. It was out of my sight in 2 seconds, flying to the north.

Noticed an extraordinarily bright star NE of my location; after several seconds of watching it, the star appeared to be blinking. Figured it was a distant airplane. Some minutes later, I looked again, the object appeared stationary. After several more minutes, same thing. The blinking was intriguing, so I grabbed my binoculars. I braced the binoculars against a door to get a steady focus. The object appeared to be a string of horizontal lights, with red lights blinking somewhere along the middle and another on the left end. Figured it was a very distant jet, and the sighting was occluded by atmospheric conditions. Over the space of about 45 minutes, the apparent direction of travel was to the east and it may have been moving with the earth's rotation. Thinking it was a planet (unlikely, as it was well to the north), I double checked with "in-the-sky.org." All of the planets were eliminated as an explanation. After a total of about 90 minutes, I went back to look again and the object had moved well north and slightly west of its previous position. Another look through the binoculars provided pretty much the same description, with the possible exception of a gap in the lights. As I type this, it is moving below the tree line out sight in the general direction of Wichita, Kansas.

Plantation, FL
Seen from Miami from the south, guessing approx. city it could be over. Green/red/white and maybe blue lights blinking on/off and all around rapidly and constantly. Lights do not appear to be moving at all - not moving closer or further away and do not appear to be moving left to right or up or down. Looking with binoculars too. Bright, rapidly flashing lights appear to be sitting still high up in the sky, approx. 30 degrees off the horizon. Cannot tell shape of vehicle. Smaller aircraft have come and gone by. Object has not moved and continues to blink like a disco ball. Airplanes have been heard passing by. Clear night. Just noticed 2 additional similar objects super high up with bright flashing colored lights. One over maybe Hialeah and one over ocean to the east off sunny isles.

I took my dog out to relieve herself at approx. 1 am on approx. 1/18/17 (I am a "night owl") and noticed, high up in the sky beyond the roofline of the line of townhouses in which my house is located (perhaps 300 feet or so up?), what appeared to be a group of bright green lights, four in total. I stood and watched and noted that: 1) the lights were bright green only (no other colors) and they were not flashing. 2) there was a total of four lights and they appeared to be on the perimeter of a round craft of some sort (?). 3) the "craft" was not moving; it stayed in the same place for all the time I was watching (5 mins.), and remained there as I went back in the house. I did not feel afraid, only curious and somewhat amazed by this sight. No *primordial* terror at all. Source of report indicates that the date is approximate. PD

Greensboro, NC, 04/14/17, 8:55 PM. I went outside to put some scraps out for the neighborhood night creatures that visit. When I got in the middle of my back yard, I noticed what looked like a planet. Bright as Jupiter or Mars. While pondering which it could be, I noticed it was moving. No flashing lights, and it was not in the path I am used to air traffic flying over. Airliners that travel over my area are going on the North to South route at around 40 thousand ft. They are much dimmer and move quicker than this object. Even at that height, the flashing navigation lights are still obvious. This object may have been a satellite but from my memory of viewing Iridium satellites or the ISS they moved much faster. This object was so slow I wasn't sure it was moving at first. It was moving from North West to South East. I first saw it directly overhead. By the time I was sure it really was moving slowly, and not my imagination, I began to be sure this seemed unusual. When it got to about 45 degrees going South East it quickly faded. It had been a very consistent brightness until that point. It had no color or peak of brightness as it passed over. It was like Jupiter or Mars, but moving until it faded over a 5 second period.

I live near the airport here, and can see all the landings on runway 00, about 2 miles away. I watched a passenger jet landing on runway 00 while having a smoke past midnight. I noticed a dim single light behind the aircraft following it in. It could move much faster than the jet, and I estimate it could move up and down, back and forth about 200ft/sec. or more. It would move up for a few seconds above the jet, then down for a few seconds below the jet, seemingly inspecting the jet. When the jet was about 2 miles from touch down, the UFO disappeared totally. I did not see it leave, just the dim light disappeared all of a sudden. I contacted the airport to see if they got any radar hits on it, waiting for a reply.

As I was driving home on hwy 96 west I saw a red light appear in the sky about 20 degrees above the horizon. The light was moving right to left, toward the south. It brightened and began to slowly fade. But before it faded out, another, separate red light appeared to the left(south) of the first along the same line the first light was moving towards. The first light then faded. The second light brightened and began to fade, while moving along the same path as the first. But again, before the second light faded completely, another red light appeared to the south. This sequence happened five or six times. Then, the lights just disappeared. I asked the other person in the car if they were seeing this and they said yes. They described it exactly as I had seen it. The sky was slight overcast with a full moon rising behind us. Orion was visible through the the high overcast. The only other light I saw was five miles down the road when I saw a white light come on and go off, then a quick flash of a white light. This was in the same quadrant of sky.

The object was a blue flashing light ascending rather quickly above the tree line. It stopped in midair for about 2 seconds then proceeded to move forward at which point the flashing blue light changed to flashing red and white. After a few seconds the object stopped and began to ascend again slowly and the lights faded out as it went into the cloud layer. Local weather reports listed the ceiling at 21000-23000 ft..

About 3 am, I was up watching tv, when I felt a low humming in the air. It had a wide range of volume so I knew it couldn't be in the house because of the brick structure I was in. I walked outside as the humming got stronger, looked up and saw nothing but complete darkness which was normal but the humming was right above me and moving. Then about thirty seconds later, I noticed the black sky I thought I was seeing was moving cause now I can see the back of it moving away making view of the real night sky with stars and night light. The black object slowly moved on over my back yard which is three acres but the object was at least one mile long and one mile wide cause of the duration of time it took to become noticed by sound and the time it took to disappear. It was about a quarter mile above my trees. The sound was a air humming sound with no detonation.

Golden, CO
Woke up at about 3 am to a loud melodic hum during the catastrophic wind storm that hit Colorado this month that sounded like it was above my house. It was like nothing I’ve ever heard before. It moved north away from the house and sounded like it was moving back and forth between the northern and western part of Golden. I woke up my girlfriend and she was able to hear it to, but couldn’t make sense of it either. Checked around while it was going on and the sound didn’t appear to be created by the borderline record setting winds blowing through or against anything as the noise remained consistent in volume between wind gusts. Also, being from Wyoming (arguably the windiest state in the country) and having heard a lot of wind against a lot of different things, this hum was still like nothing I’ve heard before. I checked the skies around the house, but it was overcast and all I could see was the glow of the Denver lights bouncing off of the cloud deck. But considering the fight or flight response that sound was eliciting from me, I’m glad I didn’t see anything if I’m honest. My every instinct was telling me to get as far away as fast as possible. It’s worth noting that the hum was higher pitched and seemed to alternate between 2 tones. It scared the hell out of me but oddly the sound was kind of pretty in a way. I’ve found a lot of reports online of a “hum” that detailed a really low pitch that almost chimes, but this was nothing like that and was both several octaves higher and constant. Also conferred with my next door neighbors. They woke up from the wind at about the same time that I did and also heard the noise, but they’re pretty heavy sleepers and fell back asleep pretty quickly without giving it much attention. To be more specific, it didn’t occur to them that they heard a sound until I brought it up a few days later. I stayed up and listened to the hum until about 5:30am before falling back asleep myself. As far as I can tell, no one has reported this to anyone. I’m prior military and a fairly level headed person. So far, nothing has ever made the hair stand up on the back of my neck like that hum.

Very low flying and extremely loud. Flying directly east. Maybe military?

Was driving home with girlfriend and I noticed 3 different, reddish lights. They were moving in an irregularly shaped, triangle pattern. I noticed that they weren't incredibly too far off in the distance, but couldn't make out anything more that reddish blurs, moving at a constant speed. Now I live close to BWI so I see planes come and go all the time. These were not airplanes or balloons, we can assure you. They were headed west, fairly slowly, until the lights just sort of faded out. Very strange. I even considered it being a new Christmas toy someone received, like a drone. Nope. Not three of them so far apart, moving at the same speed, so high up. Strange. Why my background is important, I don't know. I'm not on meds nor should I be. I'm not senile or blind.

Arvada, CO
I saw a group of what looked like white orbs traveling extremely fast going SW and making a turn in formation to SSW at 9:50 pm over Arvada Colorado. I have also seen a translucent shapeshifting boomerang craft fly over 13 times and have documented it within my own records. This also could have been the translucent shape-shifting craft flying lower, but it looked different. They could have been separate. These things or thing was traveling faster than a fighter with no sound. 9:50 could be a possible route time as I have been witnessing the craft around this time after the time change. Before the time change it was around 8:50 now 9:50? Hmmmm flight pattern detected.....
