Group of lights in night sky looked different than the rest

My wife noticed a group of three stars in a row, similar to Orion's belt, that looked cloudy when the rest of the sky was very clear. These were spotted looking over the top of our house to the east, altitude varied. As we watched, the westernmost or trailing star became very bright and the entire formation seemed to get closer. A gaseous cloud emanated from the formation in a conical shape and the formation began gaining altitude until it faded away into the sky. A quick check of air traffic in our area showed zero aircraft in that direction. Aircraft headed south towards BWI or beyond were flying steady and at a different altitude than the formation.

Duration: 30 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Forest Hill, MD, USA

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Lights on object

I noticed the bright lights in the sky that appeared to be stationary for approximately 10 minutes. After that time the object started to move across my field of view. Once the object went by the back of the object had four lights on it that appeared to slowly dim and then brighten back up separately. The object appear to do a 180° flip while moving forward and stayed like that.

Occurred: 2019-03-11 23:00 Local
Reported: 2019-03-12 19:39 Pacific
Duration: 1 hour
No of observers: 2

Location: Forest Hill, MD, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Colo

A stationary object, very bright, emitting a spectrum of colors with radiating points.

Around 23:00, my boyfriend and I noticed a very bright “star” appearing object out my window. This object was significantly bigger and brighter than all of the stars around it. It was also emitting a spectrum of colors and was changing. It appeared similar in shape to an asterisk with clear lines of light being emitted from all points.

As this report sounds similar to a Star, we used two different sky map apps to determine which star. Although Sirius is close in sky to where this object was, you could see Sirius to the left. In order to further investigate, we checked the stars again this evening around the same time and did not see the same object in the position which further proved the object was not a star.

Of note, I am in the medical field and am very scientific minded. My boyfriend has a background in electronic media and math. This being said, we are both objective people who rule out common things prior to jumping to the conclusion of UFO.

My husband and I finally had a night to ourselves while the kids were at their grandparents; house. We both love to star gaze and decided to do so after leaving a friend's house. We drove to our favorite secluded spot almost exactly one mile from our home. Upon arriving, we turned off the truck and headlights.

We immediately noticed a green light about 2 and a half to 3 feet above the ground. We both noticed after a few seconds that it was moving. It was moving in such a way that it looked like it was a bobble head. The terrain in this field is bumpy and could be an explanation for this movement. Anyhow, we keep watching in awe at this green light moving. It made no noises at all. We then notice that it's moving toward us. I immediately get freaked out and want to leave. My husband who is more curious than I am, decides to get out his spotlight to shine on this green orb light to see what it is. Oddly, when he shines his bright spotlight on it, it starts re! tracting. Still looking "bobbily". We know that it was retracting because the light was getting smaller and you could visibly tell it was moving backwards. He stops shining the light on it and it would start coming back towards us. It was like this green light was "scared" of the bright spotlight. He did this off and on for about 10 minutes. While we were sitting there his truck dash lights and headlights flickered a few times and it made a clicking sound when the lights flashed. The truck was off and had been off since we pulled up. Before I could convince him to leave he took pictures of the green light. We left. We returned at daylight and could see these very narrow tracks in the same spot we saw this light. I will also add that there are no houses within 200 yards either way where this light was. There were also no vehicles or other people around. I also want to add to this that the reason I wanted to leave after shortly arriving is because I felt t! hreatened some how by this green orb light. I felt as if we we! re tresp assing on its territory. We haven't told many people but the ones we have told ask if we reported it to MUFON. We had been skeptical about reporting it, but decided we should go ahead with a report. I have a few pictures I want to submit with my report. I am just wondering if anyone else has experienced this or if anyone has a logical explanation that we have not already considered.

After watching a green light fall to the surface, we saw many flashing lights that later became one pulsing green one.

My father and I were driving home. It was dark. There was a green light that suddenly moved very fast downwards. It was wide and VERY fast. We came over a hill and on the ground we saw a tall object with flashing orange, red, blue, and yellow lights. These led to a flashing green light close to thae ground.

We left and returned about 20 minutes later. The lights were gone. We could not tell if the ship was. We circled down a back road to see the back of the house. From there we could see a pulsing green light.

As we left a massive military jet flew over head. We belive the military was searching for the craft.

Me and friend witness bright light in east-north-east sky, disappears suddenly

Bright, slow moving light seen East-North-East. Seen above horizon, but below cloud cover. Possible meteor entry, however speed and angle lead me to believe otherwise. Meteors would be seen as streaks with rapid movement. This was slow and bright. Not an aircraft because the light was too bright, too slow, and disappeared NOT behind cloud cover. Not a helicopter because it seemed too high, no sound, and too bright.

Me and 1 other went outside to leave for a movie. Noticed object. Stood by truck antenna as a point of reference to view movement, moving very slowly upwards. I am an astronomy minor and I ran back inside to grab binoculars. Never have seen this kind of object before, neither of us. Went back outside to find the object. About 15-30 seconds after we returned outside it disappeared from sight.
