Waldron, AR
I was driving home from work in the middle literally no where when a ball of green light traveling the same direction of me flew through the sky at incredible speed, it was in my light of sign for maybe 4-5 seconds and had a green light trail behind it. I am a healthy, 23 year old who is a restaurant manner and don’t do drugs, I was alone but remember it vividly.

While closing the driveway I looked up and saw a ball of light to the south. It was a bright white light. But it wasn't flashing any running lights like a helicopter or plane. I looked away for a second and when I turned back the light was gone. There wasn't enough time to take my cell phone out and take a picture, although I was thinking about it.

A row of horizontal orange lights moving in formation then they began diverging in different directions twinkling on and off until they all disappeared

Glamis, Scotland, ANGUS · United Kingdom
Driving home and observed an elliptical light going around in a thick cloud (the rest of the sky was clear) repeatedly in the same spot. I watched for about 10-15 minutes and it kept doing the same thing. There was no sound to suggest it may have been a helicopter. In fact it was silent. Nobody else was around other than cars passing by. I caught a video on my phone of the light but you have to turn up the brightness on the phone and turn it landscape to see the light. The original video that I took was on my old mobile phone and the one uploaded is a copy I sent to my new phone. I have both copies available though.

New Bern, NC
I had stepped out of my back door onto my porch, when I went to the steps I looked out past my tree and saw 3 very bright lights horizontally in a row over towards town. They looked like work lights, but they were way to high to be work lights. They were not very high above the trees and when I saw them, they did not appear to be moving. It was very cold and for what ever reason It did not occur to me they might not be of this world, until I read the report from Fort Bragg, and these were exactly what they described. I wish I had gone back out with my camera, maybe next time.

Wenatchee, WA
Two lights seen in the south west evening sky. The lights moved in synchronized fashion. One light appeared to “drop” another light from it. Lights moved together then apart twice at evenly timed intervals. Lights would appear, disappear and appear in different location. Poor quality cell phone video was taken

Simla, CO
Used stargazing app to rule out planet or star. Observed a stationary, bright, orange-tinged light (as large as a bright star) in eastern sky. It was below and to the right/south of Orion. I observed for several minutes before remarking aloud that it had to be Mars. As I said so it faded and disappeared to black. After about 10 seconds it reappeared slightly higher and to the left/north of where it had been. Remained for about 30 seconds before fading to black again. There was a small cloud in the eastern sky but it was thin and I could still make out Orion in it; this light was brighter than any around it. I could barely make out faint lights beneath it that appeared to be moving. Recorded with iPhone.

Salome, AZ
While driving east on the I-10 between Quartsite and Salome, after passing the mountains, I looked north and seen a bright light in a fixed position in the sky. It split and an exact duplicate of it moved west of it and immediately stopped. The original light then disappeared. I lowered my window to make sure it wasn't a reflection and at that time, the new positioned light then split up and did the same exact thing, duplicated itself and the prior light disappeared as well. This continued for about 10 seconds and then it completely disappeared. I travel this area often and can confirm it wasn't on a mountain and was in the sky. It appeared to be a mile away but was hard to judge distance. The duplication it made was in a perfect pattern. The only time I noticed movement was when it was duplicating. Otherwise it appeared to be paused in a fixed position. The only thing I can compare this to is the intro of older James Bond movies, where there is a white ligh! t duplicated across the screen. Sort of similar but with more of a pause.

Rosemead, CA
I was doing some star gazing this evening when I noticed a high altitude light streak across the sky from East to West in a matter of seconds. At first I thought it was a meteor but it did not have the burn tail of the usual meteoroid hitting the atmosphere. This was a point of light like any other in the night sky racing across the sky.

Long Beach, CA
We were looking up at the southwestern sky for the Jupiter/Saturn conjunction on December 21. It was close to sunset but there was still light in the sky. Out of nowhere a flash of light streaked HORIZONTALLY to the right of us. This object was not falling, it was flying absolutely horizontal and traveling south, away from us. The object was close and low. It was a very bright, white streak of light with a blue color in the front and then the long white streak or tail. As fast as it appeared, it disappeared. The tail caught up with the front. It sped up and vanished. This was a 3-4 second event. It made no noise. I turned to my friend and asked if he just saw that. He said yes. Again, the object was flying horizontally. I have never seen anything like this before..

Thousand Oaks, CA
Driving northbound on the 101 in Thousand Oaks. Saw a bright white flash in the sky at my 12 o’clock position over Newbury Park that lasted approx. 1-3 seconds, and then was gone. The sun was still out and I didn’t see any aircraft flying after seeing the light.

We observed a very bright white light heading west to east at a very high rate of speed. We were on the farm and had very good view of other planes off in the distance.All we could see was a big,round,white light,no other colors of any kind,it traveled clear across the sky in a very short time. No trails of any kind behind it as it sped across the sky. Flew much lower than normal aircraft do. We could hear it as it passed over us and it didnt appear to be a shooting star of any kind

Behind the Wegmans grocery store, on a hill facing south and overlooking the town, I was with my girlfriend eating dinner in a parked car. The lights were off, car was running. She says she was observing the anomaly for approximately 30 seconds, noticing the unusual brightness put in the distance. Dumbfounded, she turned to be and asked me what it was. I looked up to see a bright white light in the distance a couple miles above the horizon. Observing the object for about 10 seconds, I assumed it to be the north star... but then I realized that the North Star would be behind us due to the car facing the southern direction. Before I could say this to my girlfriend, the light immediately shut off as if a light switch was being flipped. And about a second later, the tiny dot that could have been what was shining so bright, shot off to the southeast, and was gone. We pondered all the possible options as to what object could be, but couldn’t not determine it’s identity. There were radio towers in the distance but much closer to the ground, and far less bright and consistently blinking on and off. There were planes in the sky, but much father away or higher up, also far less bright. The north star was not even nearly as bright as this object but was the closest thing I could have concluded the UFO to be. However, stars don’t just stop shining like flipping off a light switch; on top of this, the north star was behind me from how we were positioned. This occurred just as towards the end of Twilight; so it was perfect to identify differences between stars, planets, satellites, radio towers, or planes. This was not any of them. This is not my first UFO encounter, but it is the most unique and clear event I have observed yet.

Pickering, ON · Canada
As I was driving home from work on Thursday December 17 at 22:50, I observed a ball of white light travelling at incredible speed. The ball of light was travelling north, appeared to be about 300 feet off the ground, and was travelling perfectly horizontally. The light appeared to be about 800 to 1000 feet east of the road I was travelling on (Brock Rd., south of Hwy 407, Pickering, Ontario, Canada). Lake Ontario is roughly 20kms south of where I saw the light. The sighting only lasted about 2 seconds due to the incredible speed of the ball of light. It did not strike me as a meteor or shooting star type of light in the sky as I have seen many times over my life. This was something different.

Pearce, AZ
Over the past 7 days we have had multiple lights hover, move erratically, flash, disappear and reappear. This goes on for hours. Photo and video has been taken. At first we thought it was Border Patrol flying drones near our ranch, but it could not have been possible due to the duration and movement of the lights. Also, we have had several strange Government Vehicles from either the NSA or Homeland Security in 3 to 7 vehicle convoys spotted every morning driving to the area of our ranch. We are very secluded and very rural. The lights are near the Dragoon mountains which are 4 miles from our Ranch.

Over 20 lights, many in formation, following one another from Lake Ontario heading southbound. I have a bunch of pics and videos supporting what was witnessed.

Brookly, MI
Saw a bright light hovering low over a piece of farmland, the light shifted to my right as I was facing it, stopped and then started to move slowly away, I glanced away for a second and then looked again in the direction of the light and it had dissapeared. Light was to far away to tell general shape and size, no blinking lights or any other significant markings other than it was bright yellow in color.

Ledgewood, NJ
I was driving when I stopped at an intersection and noticed a green circular light hovering about 20-30 feet away from my vehicle. It was flying very low in the sky. It was small, spherical, bright green, and glowing while moving very slowly and with intention. After about 10-15 seconds it flew off above the trees into the distance. It flew extremely fast and moved in a rhythmic side to side motion. The object appeared quite small. What I saw really freaked me out and I’ve been trying to put it out of my mind but I just can’t.

I was going down Route 23. When in my Upper Windshield, I saw a Green Light go very fast across the sky, too fast to be a plane. I told my friends on Discord after pulling over. The next day I drove the same route and saw many police and Hazmat crews in the area. I don't know if it was related.
