I took my dog out at about 11:11pm last night. When I looked up in the sky, I noticed something strange and ran to grab my phone to film it. I recorded 2-3 videos of the object and posted it on my facebook as well.

I brought the dog outside this morning and looking to the southeast around 5:30am, I saw a flash of light that looked like a lightning bolt in a perfectly clear sky. But a well-defined flash of light - a zig zag pattern about 6 inches relative to extending your fingers apart to the sky. After the flash, a bright white, round light traversed the sky heading northwest in a straight line but at different speeds at times. After it passed directly overhead, I saw another dimmer white object moving perpendicular to the first object heading south-southwest. Much fainter than the first, blurry-like. This one moved at a consistent pace. After they were out of view, I went inside and immediately checked online to see if the first object was the International Space Station, but I do not think it was visible this morning in my location. I am just an educator who always looks up at the sky, with or without a telescope. My love for astronomy came after taking an astronomy course in college. And this experience is the first time I have felt compelled to report what I saw.

I went outside to smoke after dinner at my girlfriend’s house, I lit my cigarette then looked up to the sky NW area and noticed an object sliding across the sky, stopping then going again several times. It was white and grey with the naked eye, I was able to get video of it and pictures from the video. I just reported one I seen on the 7th but this one was completely different than that one.

I got off work at 9:45 and was walking to my vehicle when I noticed a light, then I noticed it was changing color and moving, so I took several videos so I could look at them later and try to debunk myself but I couldn’t. I legitimately think it was something unexplainable and was transfixed on the object to where I stood in the cold for half an hour watching it even though I was freezing cold and tired I couldn’t look away at one point.

Dunkirk, IN
I'm an old guy. Was watching TV and noticed a stationary round white light to the N-NE out of my east facing family room window. Didn't really think much about it, thought it was an airplane or helicopter. It disappeared. Seconds later it reappeared and was closer-about 100 yards in the same direction, however it was larger. That's when the white beams of light came on. It was obviously night-time and the lights were so bright they illuminated the entire woods. They weren't normal search type lights-they moved to fast. At this time I went outside for a better look, it was gone, it was dead quiet. No helicopter and airplane sounds. This happened in about a 20 seconds. I guess it might have been an aircraft, but I've never seen anything like this in the past. I believe it was a UFO because there was NO sound at all. I prefer my name not used. You can contact me if this is a legitimate UFO sighting.

Sisseton, SD
There were four objects in total. Three of which appeared to be dim circles of white, and one singular circle that was bright. They were grouped together for a split second. The three dim objects split further, going all directions: NW, NE and S. The brighter circle individually went South. After the objects went in different directions, they were not longer to be seen. It appeared that the dim lights moved at a slower pace than the bright light did. The sky was thirty minutes past sunset. Although not completely dark, it was dark enough to notice. No sounds were heard.

There were 3 of us that saw the object during the entire time, roughly 45 seconds. We exited our home into our front yard when we noticed a silver circular craft moving East at a steady speed but there was no sound. It was moving East for about 20-25 seconds and then made a 90 degree turn South without changing speed. After about 10 seconds it made a second 90 degree turn back towards its original East direction before disappearing behind clouds. It did not appear on the far side of the clouds. I was able to film the craft using my phone, but I was having trouble keeping it centered so I stopped filming.

While in my yard with my parents we noticed a round, silver, craft in the sky to our North. It was moving East at a steady speed with no noise. After moving East in the sky for roughly 45 seconds (from when we first noticed it) it made a 90 degree turn south towards us before making a second 90 degree turn back to it’s original path East. It disappeared behind clouds a few seconds later.

At 6:00 am this morning I was out walking my dog as usual. I always find myself looking up at the sky while he is sniffing around. On this particular morning, I looked up and immediately noticed a large bright deep yellow sphere with a thin red bottom, with a long firey tail traveling from the north, heading south. I knew it was not an airplane. I see many planes in the sky coming and going from Midway and O'Hare airports. This object did not have any flashing lights whatsoever. I also knew that it was not a shooting star. I have seen several of those when visiting my parents in Arizona. I immediately thought that it was a comet until it went into a descending diagonal flight, paused very briefly, dropped into a vertical flight, and then flew parallel to the ground heading south. There was absolutely no noise coming from this object. It was at this point I noticed an area of the sky become distorted and the object flew into it and then disappeared. Special note: This object maintained its original shape and appearance throughout my observation of its flight.

Several pilots from other carriers reported the same 3 circling lights at similar altitude as our aircraft. They would shine bright then dim. Continuously . Flying in AA1229 ORD to LAX, flying West - the lights appeared to the right.

Light seen flying then hovering the past 2 nights. Too high for a drone & no sound for a helicopter. As it hovered, a huge flash was seen in the horizon. Object then flew off after a few minutes.

I saw a round black object flying in the sky in a strange flight pattern. This was in day light. It was either small or extremely far away. It was definitely not a plane or a bird. My spouse saw it as well. I have a video if needed.

I went out behind my house to smoke a cig. I looked to the north east and kept seeing Something. At first I thought it was a plant or a big star. It is at night. I looked again it was rotating lights in a circle saw at 10 pm and laying down now at 11:03 pm it is still there. Also it moved not far then it moved back almost to same spot. Now it is still to the north but more east now. Very weird looking thought I better report it.
