Red Light Travels Across The Sky Over Nelspruit Mpumalanga South Africa

Date: January 1, 2013
Time: 12:07 a.m.

Hi, I am (name removed) from Nelspruit Mpumalanga, South Africa. Last night at 7 minutes past midnight I saw a red light go across the sky.

I knew it’s not a satellite or plane because it was moving to slow and nor was it a lantern.

Please in from me about any information on this.

6 To 8 White Lights In The Sky Over West Palm Beach Florida

Date: December 31, 2012
Time: Evening.

Brian, my girlfriend and I saw these things on our way home from dinner in West Palm Beach. Never saw anything like it. There were about 6 to 8 white lights, not blinking and flying very slow, in formation.

Then, it appeared as if some of them were dimming and slowly, all but three disappeared. Those three turned direction and started flying the other way, slowly and then suddenly disappeared.

We were absolutely stumped at trying to come up with an explanation as to what they were and still have no idea. I immediately came home and looked up on the internet to see if anyone else reported seeing them.

They were definitely not planes as they would change direction in a second. Very odd. Please let me know if you discover what they were.

8 To 10 Orange Lights Flying In The Sky Seen From Hudson Valley New York

Date: January 1, 2013
Time: After midnight.

Can't figure out how to post on your site. But I was just outside (about 100 miles north of NYC in the Hudson Valley) a couple minutes after the ball dropped and my fiancé and I saw 8-10 orange lights flying from the south to the northeast.

They were for the most part flying two at a time and disappeared behind the clouds after a minute or two. They were low flying and seemed to have a direct flight plan but at the same time varied in altitude as they went.

Freaked out and would love to hear more!! Feel free to post this to your site

Date: January 1, 2013
Time: Midnight.

My boyfriend and I were outside on New Years Eve at midnight, right after ball dropped 2013 and saw orange lights in sky.

Large Red Light Seen In The Sky Over Central Alabama

Date: December 31, 2012
Time: Evening.

I am contacting you in regards to a similar sighting, it happened less than 20 minutes ago. I live in central Alabama.

I walked out onto my back porch, and immediately saw a large glowing red light, hovering very low in the sky.

I observed the object for a couple of minutes, went inside to tell my husband, walked back out and the red, glowing object was still moving slow towards the north.

It appeared large, like aircraft size. When I went to get my husband to come see, it was gone.

I am going back out there-. What I saw did not behave in the night sky like a plane. It was definitely not fireworks as it was a slow, moving, quiet large red something.

Orange Fire Like Object Seen Over Orlando Florida

Date: December 31, 2012
Time: Evening.

Just saw it over my house tonight about 5 minutes ago. Grabbed my camera and got a shaky shot of it. My two year old was even yelling, look at fire!

We live near the airport, but it was not a plane. It flew in one direction over our house and then went back the other way!

UFO Dull Silver In Color With Windows Hovered Above Our Camping Tent

Date: About 10/15 years ago

Time: Night

I was about 10-14 years old when this happened. I was having a sleep over one night. Had two friends over. We decided to take our sleeping bags outside and have a sleep over on the lawn.

One of my friends decides she's thirsty and goes in to get herself and us orange sodas. My other friend and I stayed outside. We were laying in our sleeping bags talking to each other when at the same time, we both noticed something directly above us hovering.

We look up casually, and what we saw was remarkable. It was a UFO. No doubt in my mind. It was huge. Bigger than the size of a baseball field. It’s shape was so weird. Wasn't any shape I've seen before.

I forget how many sides it had, but there was a few. We saw lights and windows, and even where the metal pieces were put together to make the ship one. It was dull silver. And hovered over us about 200 feet up (if that).

We starred at it for a good 10 seconds before we examined it enough to realize what it was. We looked at each other and screamed. Mine barley came out because I was so terrified and we hide under our covers.

It felt like eternity hiding under those covers, but when we eventually looked to see if it were still there, and it wasn't anywhere in sight we ran inside. We told our other friend and my mother what happened.

Neither believing us, but we knew what we saw and drew dozens of pictures of it the rest of the night. I wish I still had those drawings.

Orange Colored Object Makes Unusual Maneuvers Over Port Orange Florida

Date: December 31, 2012
Time: Approx: 9:35 p.m.

In Port Orange, FL, these are copies of the texts I sent to 2 friends.

I just saw a UFO!, 100%! Not fireworks, not a plane or helicopter. Started out as a stationary orange orb, thought it was a weird star, then it started flying. Impossible maneuvers and speed.

It began in the southeast sky and after it started moving north it changed trajectory rapidly in a southwestern direction for a few seconds before zigging northwest, it was silent, steadily orange (not a flare), and before it was out of sight it faded to a whitish color and disappeared..

This was at approximately 9:35 Eastern time.

20 To 40 Red/Orange Lights In The Sky Over Plantation Florida

Date: September 10, 2011
Time: Evening.

September 10, 2011 My family and I on our way home from dinner stopped at Starbucks on Broward Blvd. While looking for a place to park, I noticed a guy standing in the original place I wanted to park was looking into the sky.

So I parked next to him and upon putting the car in park my son said, "Daddy, what’s that?" I looked up and there were 20- 40 red and orange lights in the sky and then they started disappearing.

I took some pictures and my daughter took some video. I am still blown away from the incident. The UFOs then started disappearing and some seemed to be coming back until they were all gone after about 5 minutes or so.

Multiple Orange/Yellow Lights Flying Low Over Wellington Florida

Date: December 31, 2012
Time: Evening.

Hello Brian, today we were outside playing around (in Wellington, FL) when our group of people noticed 4 orange-ish yellow lights, low flying, from south to north. They were very small, but you could tell they were flying very low in a group.

They did not seem to be in any formation. After them followed 3 more lights, except they were strung in a sort of line across the sky.

I ran to grab my phone to see if I could record the sight, but they were too small to show up on my phone an they disappeared after that.

I Googled the lights and saw the post from this December about the same lights, which fit our description. There was an adult, 3 kids, and a teen who all saw the lights. We are just curious (and the kids a little scared) about what this could be?

4 Bright Orange Colored Lights Flying Over Pinellas County Florida

Date: December 31, 2012
Time: About 9:15 p.m. or 9:20 p.m.

Hi, tonight I was leaving a restaurant in Pinellas County, Florida (Clearwater/Largo area) at about 9:15 or 9:20 p.m. In the sky there were 4 orange lights, fairly bright. They were grouped at first 2 and 2, but they moved around slowly, but randomly like fireflies not in one direction.

It wasn't fireworks because they didn't get any dimmer. I watched them for a couple of minutes and then I passed under them and couldn't see them because I was driving and they were then behind me.

I couldn't figure out what it might be, so I came home and turned on the news, but no mention.

So I started looking online for anything about it and stumbled on a previous similar sighting that was on your website and it said if you've seen anything like this to contact you. Any idea what it was?

Bright Red Lights Over Little Current Manitoulin Island Ontario (Pictures)

Date: December 29, 2012

Time: 7:00 p.m.

Vike Factor Note: I used the contrast to lighten up the photos which makes it easier to see the red lights.
Hi Brian, I just checked out your website because of something I saw in the sky on Sat. December 29, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. I live in the town of Little Current, on Manitoulin Island, ON.

I was going for a walk and as soon as I stepped out onto my deck, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It was 5 bright red lights in the shape of the 5 spots on a die.

The dots of light were moving as one, from the west to the south at a pretty slow speed.

They seemed to be close to earth. No sound.

I ran inside to get my camera, and by the time I was outside again, the 5 lights had almost completely disappeared into the southern sky, but were being followed by 5 or 6 single red lights, equally spaced in a straight line, moving again, as one, following the course of the original cluster of lights.

I was able to take a picture of three of the lights and am attaching the photo, even though the quality is very poor. The sight filled me with very strange feelings ranging from awe and amazement, to fear.

What in the world was I seeing and what did it mean? I have looked up similar sightings, and no explanation is ever given.

The only thing I read was that it could be a meteor broken up.

This was not falling from the sky. The movement of the dots of light was not random or separate, these light were moving as one, across the sky.

Any ideas? I would love to hear back from you and hear what you have to say.

Glowing Orange Object In The Sky Over McAllen Texas

Date: December 05, 2012
Time: Approx: 9:45 p.m.

I too saw an orange object in the sky in McAllen, TX on December 05, 2012 at around 9:45 p.m. central. Me and two girlfriends where outside smoking and looking at the stars when I noticed an object in the sky.

As I looked closely, it appeared to be glowing orange and clearly was not an airplane or helicopter or any other thing I have seen before. One thing I noticed was that it was very blurry to look at.

I compared by looking away to the stars and then looking back at it, but my vision would get blurry as i did. As soon as i was doing that one of my friends said, " is it just me or is it very blurry".

It would almost hurt our eyes to look at it. I have seen something almost similar when I was small which turned out to be an air-balloon, but the air balloon I saw would glow on and off and it was elevating.

This was just glowing and coming towards us slowly and dropping altitude.

Here comes the scary part. As I was thinking to myself it’s probably an air balloon, the object kind of stopped, then dropped something. It looked like a little star falling in a straight line and very fast.

Kind of like when a big firework shoots up into the sky and you can actually see it shoot up before it explodes, but this was coming down from the glowing object.

Honestly at that point my body filled with chills and I expected an immediate explosion. It seemed like it was dropping some kind of missile or bomb. Also right after it dropped it, it changed direction, stopped glowing and rapidly gained altitude until it disappeared.

Could this be some type of weather balloon that drops some kind of weight so that it finally goes off into the sky?

Objects Falling From The Sky Over Chicago Illinois

Date: February 2012 ?
Time: Evening.

I saw your blog about the green light. I was at a park with my friends earlier this year. Maybe February and I was using Google sky map on my phone. We noticed a star next to Jupiter that didn't register on the app.

After 20 seconds it started moving. It was very slow at first, but when I started recording with my phone it came much closer, very fast, starting flashing red and white very brightly then bolted away into the black sky within seconds.

Mind you I live in Chicago which is very lit up. Literally just five minutes ago I was looking east towards lake Michigan while driving and saw a straight line of black smoke, and it appeared an object was falling.

It went lower and lower then the object and trail disappeared. No sound or light. Just fell and disappeared creepy. Have you had any other sightings?

Green Light Seen Flying Over Sylvania Township Ohio

Date: December 4, 2012
Time: Approx: 2:00 a.m.

I was walking/jogging in Sylvania Township at approximately 2:00 a.m., (I have insomnia from the military and working numerous night jobs.) When I saw out of the corner of my eye as I was heading back home a green light that is very similar to the description of this "meteor".

I kept watching as it was descending, I thought it was a plane then realized the airport by my house was the opposite direction and it was descending way too fast for anything not supersonic speed.

Very different and kind of cool to say the least. Kind of caught me off guard because I was looking up trying to find Sagittarius and thinking about space and other random things as it happened.

It was heading north to south from what I could see of it in those few seconds. Any information would be cool to find out exactly what it was.

Object Was Bright Red In Color Seen In The Sky Over Greer South Carolina

Date: December 30, 2012
Time: Approx: 9:10 p.m.

Last night at about 9:10 p.m. in Greer, South Carolina I also saw the same light that the witness described. It was to the left of the moon, and it was wearing a bright red color.

I called my boyfriend and his daughter, my parents, and my daughter outside so they all witnessed it as well. By the time my parents got outside, the red light began to twinkle and then fade ever so slightly.

The light was stationary, but it appeared to move up a bit from its' original spot.

I have tried doing research on my phone on, but I have not found anything that would describe what we saw. If you do come up with an explanation, I would be interested in finding out what you discover.

My dad and boyfriend thought maybe it was a rocket that was launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida.

Thee Yellow Glowing Lights Over Sarasota Florida

Date: December 31, 2012
Time: Approx: 7:30 p.m.

My father-in-law and I were walking the dogs at around 7:30 p.m. on December 31st, 2012. When we looked up in the sky and saw three yellow lights glowing and traveling in a triangular formation.

As they traveled northwest they seemed to glide in perfect order. We could not here any engine noise. As they passed overhead the glowing disappeared slowly until there were no lights at all.

They were moving too fast to be weather balloons. Does anyone know what they could have been?

4 Orange Colored Lights In The Sky Above Leicester UK

Date: December 31, 2012
Time: 11:40 p.m.

Hi Brian, after a search on the net trying to figure out what the hell I'd just seen, I found your site and thought I’d drop you a line. At 11:40 p.m. tonight I saw 4 orange lights in the sky over Leicester.

I've been told so far, you're drunk, they're Chinese lanterns, they're planes, they're fireworks.

I can say for sure they were none of those, but what they were other than that I have no clue. I saw the first one come over from east to west and it looked like it could have been a plane light, but much, much brighter and very orange.

A second one followed close behind and caught the first one up, I watched until they were a tiny dot in the distance. They didn't seem to change height or course, just the brightness fading as they began to fly out of sight.

I turned to go back indoors and two more came into sight, identical to the first two, like the brightest stars I've ever seen. The second one of the second pair was going much faster and winked out of sight before the first.

They were on the same horizontal path as the first two, way too high to be lanterns and far too bright. There was no sound, although oddly about one or two hours before there had been a very loud sound almost like a plane flying right above my house, but nothing in sight.

I'm not a little ashamed to say I was a lot shaken up by it, and there may have been more, but I got my behind back inside. I'd be really interested to know if anyone has any ideas or if anyone else reports seeing them. Kind regards.

Time: 8:06 p.m.

On Sunday December 30, 2012 at 8:06 p.m. my neighbor called me to come out onto my porch since my house is higher up than his. He had noticed a orange colored ball of light traveling upwards in the sky and then would disappear.

He said there was about 5 of them. I wasn't able to see them because by the time I had gotten out they were gone.

I chalked it up to maybe a kid in the neighborhood getting some kind of toy for Christmas, but then when my boyfriend called me the next morning (he is a truck driver) and said he had seen a orange light going up in the sky above South Carolina I figured the was something about it.

I have researched the orange balls of light on Google and haven't been able to find anything about it, but did run across your site. Solar flares and meteors are out of the question since the balls are going upward in the sky.

Have you been able to find anything out?

Orange Lights In The Sky Over White Salmon Washington

Date: December 30, 2012
Time: Evening.

I saw three non-blinking orange lights in the sky last night.

Probably a few thousand feet above White Salmon, WA. They were moving west. One of them slowing increasing in height.

Only saw them for a couple minutes before they just disappeared at random. At least 3 times as bright as the brightest star in the sky.

Bright Green Light Travels Across The Sky Near Boca Raton Florida

Date: December 30, 2012
Time: Approx: 10:15 p.m.

We were heading south on I-95 at about 10:15 p.m. from Delray and saw a bright green light traveling across the sky near Boca Raton.

It was moving at a high rate of speed from west to east.

My wife thought it was a plane at first, but it was moving way too fast. It looked like it might have gone down near the ocean. It was definitely something our of the ordinary.

60 Orange Lights/Objects Took Flight In The Sky Above Edmonton Alberta

Date: December 29, 2012
Time: Evening

Hey I live at Jasper Ave., and 109 and saw these things the other night. I sat in the stairwell for about 30 minutes, counted about 60 of these things.

They appeared to take off somewhere to the northwest and travel south on a sharp upward trajectory.

Some were spaced out more than others, while some seemed to stay lower and suddenly travel upwards and all seemed to disappear at the same point.

They can best be described as orange colored balls or light. They were far too high to be fireworks or flares, too low for aircraft and we rarely have aircraft over Edmonton.

5 Bright Orange Colored Lights In The Sky Over The West Kootenays British Columbia

Date: December 30, 2012
Time: Evening.

Last night we saw 5 bright orange lights in the sky over the West Kootenays in British Columbia. The lights all came from the west, travelling east.

They were equally spaced and were visible for approximately 5 – 7 minutes.

The first two we saw seemed to stop and then continue on their path. They all followed the same pattern, the only difference was the last one seemed to disappear instead of following the path of the others.

Were there meteor showers last night? It’s one of the strangest things we have ever seen and we are curious to find out what it was.

Bright Flash Of Light Lit Up The Sky And Surroundings Over Alaska

Date: December 28, 2012
Time: Approx: 5:00 p.m.

I think the date was 12/28/12 at about 5:00 p.m. The flash was brief and very bright.

It did not appear to be a meteor. It was a flash similar to a flash from an old camera, but seemed to cover a large area, probably 30 square miles.

Sightings were miles apart. The flash was bright and observers said they could see their shadow.

Also the flash light they were using, was masked by the flash. Keep in mind 5:00 p.m. in Alaska at this time of year is quite dark.

Bright Orange Ball Of Light In The Sky Over Central Oregon

Date: December 30, 2012
Time: Evening.

My son, 25 years old, told me he saw this bright, orange light in Central Oregon sky tonight, seemed to start and stop in the sky, and then seemed to go west from the Cascade mountains west of La Pine, Oregon.

He observed this from Paulina Peak in the La Pine Oregon area,at about 7,000 feet elevation from the parking lot of a Snow Park. You can contact him at (phone number removed) if you wish details.

His name is (name removed). He and a buddy watched this for about 10 minutes, he has never seen anything like this before.

He said he heard no noise coming from this light and is pretty certain it did not behave like any aircraft he has seen.

Red Light Floating Across The Sky Over Pennsylvania

Date: December 10, 2012
Time: Evening.

I live in Pennsylvania and on my way home from work I kept seeing a red ball of fire it was floating very quickly across the sky, not falling in any downward type motion just going straight across the sky.

It made me pull over because I had to watch it. I couldn't believe that no one else could see it. Eventually it went out maybe, disappeared?

I'm still in the parking lot pulled over and I looked it up and saw that maybe it could be a Chinese lantern according to the web, but how would a Chinese lantern scale it so long on a rainy foggy night

Orange Lights Up In The Sky Over Oshawa Ontario

Date: November 10, 2012 and December 10, 2012
Time: Approx: 10:00 p.m.

I have witnessed the orange UFO twice now, once around 10:00 p.m. on November 10, 2012 and again tonight around the same time.

Both times I saw it from my bedroom window flying east to west, flying the exact same path and then going in a steady upwards arc until it just simply vanishes.

This was not because it's so far away, but it just disappears.

The first time I thought it was perhaps a Chinese lantern, but after seeing it again I now know it is definitely a UFO.

Multiple Sightings Of Orange Lights Over Different Nights Seen Above Albany New York

Date: December 30, 2012
Time: Approx: 10:00 p.m. - 10:30 p.m

Yes, and again tonight with 3 of them up there. This was my 3rd sighting, but haven't seen any sparks.

Additional Information:

Well didn't write dates down on the previous 2 sighting. Tonight it was 1-1.5 hours ago about 10:00 p.m. - 10:30 p.m. I was at my gal friends house, so didn't get as good of view as I have had over my house for the 1st 2 sightings.

The 1st 2 were just orange lights floating over my house heading north on Geary street.

It was reasonably quiet and I could clearly tell there was no motor noise. During the 2nd one a plane flew by the other direction and I could easily hear it’s engine.

Anyway 3 tonight, 3 about 2 weeks ago and I think 6 or so about 2 weeks before that. I told my gal it was 7 and she thought I had said it was less. Anyway orange lights floating up from the south.

Once up there in altitude, they moved pretty good until out of sight in the clouds.

Date: December 25, 2012
Time: Approx: 10:00 p.m.

Christmas night around 10:00 pm in Murrieta, CA my mom comes in the house screaming for the family to get outside now.

We of course thought something was terribly wrong by the tone of her voice. We all saw it. A huge orange glowing orb type thing moving in the sky.

We all watched it for a few minutes then it just disappeared. Feel free to contact me back at (email address removed)

White Shaped Object Low In The Sky Near Georgetown Mississippi

Date: December 30, 2012
Time: Approx: 9:45 p.m.

I did an internet search to see if anyone else saw what I saw tonight. I live near Georgetown, MS and about 9:45 tonight my mother and I were standing outside and saw a white round shaped orb moving from west to east across the sky.

It was very low in the sky. It would disappear in the east then reappear in the west, but never moving in the same exact path. There was no noise with it. Just wondering what the heck it could be?

Glowing Orange Colored Ball In the Sky Over Novi Michigan

Date: December 16, 2012
Time: Evening.

Well this is kind of odd. and I am not real sure what I saw.

A friend and I were in Novi Michigan the night of the 16 December 2012. We were on the way home coming south on I-275 around the exit 28. Looking out the front window we could see an orange glowing ball in the sky.

It was lower then an airliner, almost as if it was taking off from the airport, but had caught fire and it was still climbing.

It was heading north in line with the high way. As we got closer it, it looked more and more like a ball of fire, like an aircraft had burst into flames during flight. That is the best way I can describe it.

My friend saw the same thing and we were both talking about it. Not hearing anything about a problem with an aircraft in the area on the news, and I checked the net to find nothing.

I asked a few people I know that work at the airport and none of them know anything about it. Perhaps you can tell me something about it, or if someone else has seen the same thing.

Please let me know. Thank you for your time.

12 Or 13 Red Or Red Orange Lights Flying Over Orlando Florida

Date: December 27, 2012
Time: Evening.

I never really believed in UFO's before and certainly never saw anything that could even come close for 72 years.

Last Thursday changed all that. I really can't explain what I saw in the sky over Orlando, FL in any other way except that they either came from some other planet or our government has made something far more technically advanced than anyone can imagine.

I was coming in my long driveway in Chuluota facing west looking towards Orlando and the international airport. I am used to seeing planes landing all the time as there is usually a continuous line of them coming in full of Disney World vacationers.

I saw a couple of lines of aircraft (lights) lined up as if coming in for a landing, but were too close to each other. I remember saying to myself, "boy, they really have the planes stacked up tonight at the airport".

But there were two things that weren't right. First they were coming in from the west too close to the runway and second, they were the wrong color with only one light.

Instead of the usual color of landing lights, these were bright red or red orange and pulsing slightly.

I parked my car and came back out in the yard where I could see them well. There was one line of four going very slow as if in a landing pattern gradually descending coming from the west with another line of three lined up in the same direction several miles to the north.

I saw a jet airliner gaining altitude going north having just taken off from OIA and flew right by the lead light.

After a short time the lead light started climbing with no increase in speed at a very sharp angle, maybe 75 or 80 degrees. the second and so forth started following the leader up into a cloud hanging over an area to the south of them.

When the first line disappeared into the cloud the second line did the same thing then I noticed more coming out from behind the tree line and they did the same thing. I never saw any of them again.

It was cloudy to the south, but very clear every other part of the area and the full moon was out. So I had a perfectly clear view of all of them until they disappeared into the cloud.

The total number was about 12 or 13.

Also, please feel free to send in your sightings that have happened years ago. So many of these older sightings are nothing short of amazing.

If anyone has witnessed the lights/objects, please send me an email with details of what you saw. Please remember to include the date and time and location. (Town/City – State or Province) and as much detail as possible.
