Bright "star" moving very slowly near Polaris accelerates slightly and quickly fades out. I was outside looking at the stars and saw a bright looking star, about as bright as Venus just West Southwest of the North Star. I didn't remember any bright stars or planets in that part of the sky, and it seemed to be moving barely detectably South Southeast.
After a few seconds, maybe 5, I was sure it was moving, I think moving a little faster, then it definitely was moving, possibly a slight change in direction towards east as it quickly faded, over about a second or two.

Falling Lights Falling light seen over Portsmouth on my drive home. Bright white light fell from approximately 1000 feet up. Fell in a straight line very rapidly and extinguished before the ground.
Happened again in about the same place 2 minutes later on my drive. One more instance from much closer about 3 minutes later.

Triangle of white lights and a large red strobe orb in Enfield NH A large object crossed the sky from East to West over Enfield, NH, tonight. The object was accompanied by a jet engine sound so at first I assumed it was a jet in the area. However, after observing for a few minutes it was apparent this wasn’t a regular plane.
The object consisted of five small white lights in the shape of a triangle. In the center was a very large red light flashing on and off in a fade pattern with approximately a one second interval. Unlike a standard engine, which experiences a pitch change from doplar affect, the pitch of this engine was unchanging.
As I watched the object I expected at some point to see the green navigation lights or the regular strobe lights seen on an airplane but they never appeared, and the red strobe did not flash in the typical. Activation strobe pattern of 3-5 on with a 2 second test. At the end of observation (maybe twenty miles west of my location) it completely disappeared, with all lights extinguishing in unison.

White flashing lights seen heading east from Belmont, NH Bright white flashing lights in the sky caught our attention. We only had a view through the trees and could not make out the shape of the crafts (there appeared to be two). One craft had multiple lights, possibly four, blinking randomly but with only one light lit at a time.
The other craft had a single, non-flashing light. Both were moving away from us, heading roughly east, toward the Belknap mountains.

Object spotted hovering East/Northeast of route 101 while traveling between Exeter and Epping. I was traveling East on Route 101 between Exeter and Epping when I noticed what I believed to be a plane traveling East/Northeast, as if it were taking off. What seemed odd, was that there were no vapor trails and the object was not visibly getting smaller, as if it were traveling away from me.
I tried to point out the object to a passenger, who in return said “what object”. When I looked again, the object spotted seemed to be oblong and/or oval and stationary. The portion of the object facing me, seemed to “glow” is if reflecting the sun.
However, the sun was setting on the opposite side of the object, from my perspective. The passenger asked again “what object”, as I pointed in the direction of the sky where the object was clearly visible to me, no clouds, and the passenger response was “what object”. As I tried again to explain where in the sky the object was, I looked at my passenger, I looked back towards the object, and the object was gone.
I have no explanation for the objects disappearance, I did not look away long enough for a plane to turn (left, right or straight up) to leave my viewpoint of the sky. This last sentence was the hardest to explain, it was gone? To explain a little further, when I first noticed the object, it looked as if I had a small chip and/or crack on my windshield. I reached to the windshield to determine if it were a small crack, a reflection, or something in the background (sky).
After reviewing the windshield and noticing that no crack existed, I asked a passenger “is that a plane”? The whole experience lasted about three minutes. I was driving, traveling about 70 mph, sun was in front of me.

I was outside with my dogs and I looked up at the sky and saw 3 blinking very bright lights. They would blink in the same consecutive order. It was a formation of lights.
I couldn't hear any engine noise nor could i see an actual craft, but the lights were would blink in a diamond type shape. I had my mom and Dad come out and see it and they wrre both scratching their heads, it mystified the three of us!.

I was by Russians church looking up at the sky and saw three white lights in a triangle formation for a few seconds then it started moving but the lights switch to red, blue green, it was going up and down slowly but moving fast forward, I've seen many unexplained stuff but this is different after it flew over me in the sky I was really mindblown.

Also we have a 1000 lumen flashlight I lit these woods up like daylight to find an explanation but there was nothing.

Two large, round, orange lights in night sky over Livingston Park, Manchester NH There were two large, round, orange lights hovering within the same vicinity. It was as if there was an invisible line between them when the object/craft(?) began to move in a non-linear trajectory. It seemed to slowly disappear in front of my eyes and I assumed that it was being enveloped by clouds in the night sky.
My husband also witnessed the lights. I'm not a good judge of distance from the ground though it appeared large and close for its size. My description leads me to believe it was a large craft though I only saw two separate lights--orange and round in color.
It was amazing and I couldn't find anyone else who saw it other than me and my husband.

Circular Yellow and Green object in 2 photos taken on after the other. I was reviewing my photos that I took on the morning of October 13th, 2019 at 08:00 in North Conway, New Hampshire during the sunrise and I found what looks like a circular object that glowed yellow and green color and came from the sky and down towards the ground and then disappeared. I have two shots that seem to show it moving downward from the top right to the center of my next photo and then gone on the next shot.
Sending 2 untouched photos.

Bright white spherical light and disc shaped Saw a very bright sphere move across the sky very, very, slowly. When looking very closely, it appeared to be a disc shape, but the light being emitted was spherical. Then it quickly vanished in the blink of an eye as it if disappeared or had some cloaking mechanism.
It was also quiet. Never heard a sound.

We am on a camping trip just south of the White Mountain national forest. Two lights equidistant from each other. Traveling west at the same speed.
The two lights could be one very large craft or two smaller crafts. The lights did not orbit each other but drifted at the same rate and direction. A low satellite passed over head then about 30 seconds later we viewed the object.
The object crossed over the path of the previously mentioned satellites flight path. The intersect of the satellites flight path and the object flight path was between 32 degrees - 40 degrees. The object was at a very high altitude.
It is possible the object was at a higher altitude to the satellite. I continued to watch it until it was out of my range of sight. I lost visibility as it passed the constellation Orion.
The two lights maintained speed and distance the entire time. No hull of a craft was seen, just the lights. The object was at to high of an altitude.

4 yellowish-green vessels 3 seconds apart moving about 1000 mph single file. Something caught my attention in the sky and I looked up and it was very cloudy so the “vessels” were above the clouds. I saw about four flashes of light that must’ve been moving over 1000 miles an hour.
No blinking lights, just one fast-moving yellowish green light.
