There was a bright white light somewhat stationary but jiggling that moved vertically then to the west followed by a red and white light.

I went out on my deck to see the international space station, and there was this massively bright light over Utica close to the horizon, that was stationery but seemed to be jiggling around, lighting up the valley. This lasted for a few minutes, then it slowly moved vertically to about 30° above the horizon, turned from bright white into multiple colors that were flashing on and off as it changed direction and moved slowly to the west then quickly down over the horizon. Then another bright white and red light came out of nowhere, followed after it, disappearing behind the horizon. It lasted seven minutes.

Star moving like slow moth, one star looked connected to another as if one body moving around

Two nights in a row-On the night Oct 23 2019 my husband and I saw a star like object move around in the sky in a small area of the sky. I also watched it the night of Oct 22. It's movements were like a slow moth, some movements a straight line but mostly erratic. It stayed in the same little area of sky. In observing this for some time, I realized there was a dimmer smaller star by it and I have concluded that this bigger brighter star was connected to the smaller star, making it look like it would be a long pencil like shape, I am calling the Bigger star the head and the smaller dimmer star the end. They move together and the head will move in different directions as the end stays in place. The head also looks like it extends it's neck to move around like an insect would feeding on something or building something due staying in the same sky area spot it had been in. They look like stars. I saw another single star move across the sky and disappear by the fi! rst entity. This was looking above my backyard to the South in NE Ohio. There were no blinking lights. Aircraft in the area flew past as if things were normal. In my opinion this ufo looked like it was alive by the movement of the head star. Two stars connected, one bigger and brighter and one smaller and dimmer in a pencil shape, no seen connectors but as it moved I could see the two stars move together as if they were one, a body, with a extending head(bigger brighter star) moving around like a slow moth or insect gathering food. I am going to watch again tonight and I will make further reports if necessary. Round white star like.Retirees

Formation of lights unable to identify along with not knowing were the loud explosion sound came from, which startled my dogs.

There was a loud bang, like and explosion. When my friend and I went out and looked, we saw 3 bright lights, equally spaced. Then noticed a faint one of to the left, also equally spaced as if on the outside of a sphere.

At first thought it could be Orion's Belt, but it is in the wrong formation and location.

Round bright white lights followed by orange double paneled lights in the same spot! Then, flashing smaller white light directed at me.

Huge falling fireball. This was a significant meteor across my back field. Only 10 degrees high - about 135 degrees falling. I was facing NE 36 degrees. Meteor flew in from right to left.

Not even 5 minutes later in my back field, I saw three huge round white lights flash for 30 seconds. It was significant light- like I was at a concerts from 100 yards away. Perhaps the size of a porthole from that distance.I have three acres of forest in my backyard that slopes downhill. The lights were mid tree level at least 50 feet high. 5 minutes or 10 minutes passed and they were followed by orange paneled lights also significant is size, but a dull color. Same exact spot as the white lights. Double layered 4 across in square sections. I opened my window and kept staring. Now consecutive purple flashes in the sky where the fireball had last been seen. THEN we heard the noises on the ground. Deep grumbles like you'd hear in your abdomen of the D tone and prolonged. We have raccoons, porcupines, and a healthy coyote population. I know what those all sound like and this was NOT it. Coyote's were extremely quiet whereas normally I hear them every night hunting. I even left food out for our raccoon friend (he likes my cats food) and it wasn't eaten the next day. THEN... an hour had gone by so around midnight we started to have a search light in my bedroom window. This one was round and significantly smaller - something you might except to see on a helicopter only there was no sound associated with flying aircraft. First it was just flashing through the trees then, it came in and focused right on my partner and me. I've never been so scared in my life! Shaking in my boots. What a night.

Red, round objects moving west to east in possible formation with no sound.

The objects appeared to be red and burning. They looked as if they traveled in formation with one above and behind the other. The initial sighting lasted about 35 seconds. The object were again spotted about 3 miles away about one and a half hours later and appeared to be closer and more intense with the same formation although they did not stay in formation. There was no sound on either sighting and each lasted 30-40 seconds.

In both sightings the objects were moving west to east and one would fade from sight.

a bright white ball in the sky that stopped and changed direction 90 degrees, airplanes cant do that

It was in august of 2011at 4:30 am myself and four other people had just ended our shift at work, it was a clear night sky. We were standing around talking, and a bright white light in the sky caught our attention. The shape of the light was round. We tared at it for a minute and then it took off from south west and proceded toward the north west. There were no flashing lights on it like an airplane has, it moved in a straight line thru the sky. It stoppd abrupty for a few seconds, then went north, stopped again and then stopped again. It then took off in the north east direction again. This object went at least twenty five miles and two counties in less than three minutes, it then stopped again and stayed there for at least a half hour. The sky was dark and it was an hour and a half before the sun was to rise. There was no planes in the sky because our airports close from midnight until six am. The five of us were speachless. Never had we seen anything that can stop and change direction like that before.we live in maine and we know what a shooting star looks like and this was not a star but a ufo....

Meteor streaks from Newgloucster, over Poland towards Oxford. (Maine)

I was driving past Tripp Lake Beach in Poland maine towards Raymond.

A streak of green, blue and yellow passed overhead from east to west. It was low, too low to be a "shooting star" but was more of a "falling star". Its direction of travel put it headed towards Oxford.

While I didn't hear it hit because I was in my car with the radio on, I pulled over to see if i could still see it. That's when i kept hearing small pops (Possibly explosions) in the extreme distance over the course of the next twenty or so minutes.

After getting and posting online that i had seen it, two of my friends also told me they had seen it as well. They agreed it was so low that it had to have come down relatively close by. One had seen it in New Gloucster, and the other more near Oxford.

an orange light that slowly dropped and flickered out.

A large orange ball...larger than any stars that changed to red and green with a bright light in the center..it hovered for a while and slowly went down like the sun on the horizon...as it went down it became a darker orange and with bonoculars you could see a faint light following behind kinda like a tail. We at first thought it was a comet but it became more and more an unfamiliar object. it lasted about 10 minutes than flicker out.

Cone shaped UFO with dents and lights heard and sighted low over an Ohio home in 1973

During the summer of 1973, during the afternoon and in daylight. An upright cone shaped, triangular craft was heard, with a very loud rocket type sound. It was heard by 1 child in a home, and viewed by 2 children playing outside. The children stated it was "Apollo" coming down over the house. The cone shaped craft was dented and had lights, it also had 3 landing legs with pods on the bottom. The craft was descending over a home. The sound emitted was very loud, and similar to a rocket engine blast.

The other child came outside, but the craft rose quickly and was only a small speck that disappeared in the clouds. The craft was descibed as metalic with multi-colored lights along its cone shaped length. There was no smell of rocket fuel or exhaust, and there was no alteration to the structure of the roof or vegetation.

This incident took place in Poland Township, Ohio, which is 65 miles from NASA Cleveland and appx 4-5 hrs from Dayton, Wright Patterson AFB. No visible smoke was left as the craft departed upwards into the clouds in a Southern direction.
