10 to 12 points of light flying in the sky in formation. My husband and I were driving down the road on New Year's Eve in Greenville, SC and noticed 10 to 12 points of white light flying in formation from west to east. They were making no sound whatsoever.

We stopped the car and took pictures which did not come out. They slowly disappeared in a couple minutes.

Craft with red light above Ladson Sc on New Years Eve Three adults watched a triangle shaped object across the sky over our home. It emitted a red light, steady and not blinking with no sound. As we followed it across the sky it just disappeared.

The craft was moving in a circle around the neighborhood, but was moving northeast when it vanished.

V shaped crafts, 3 of them in a Triangle formation VERY Close I was out camping trying to light a fire (my friends had just left to get some food)When these 3 crafts came off in the distance coming directly in my direction. They were right over the tree line. They was very close.

There were three of them, all shaped like a V. Each one had 3 bright glowing lights on the bottoms of the craft along with reds lights. Also, all three crafts were flying/hovering in a triangle formation.

I quickly climbed on a rocky hill to get a better look. They were a couple hundred feet above when I gave a signal with my flashlight and then they pivoted 90 degrees to my right and flew off rather fast. I was alone in the dark scared shitless.

At first i thought it was a military aircraft (on the account of a nearby local airforce base) But military aircraft do not hover that low to the ground in such a tight formation. Apparently a few other people saw similar things in the Lowcountry in the past month.

A cluster of red lights in the sky in Ladson SC. December 29, 2012 I was talking on the phone last night to a neighbor of mine around 9:20pm. After a few minutes her son came into her house and said “mom come outside and look in the sky” she told me to come outside too so I did.

When I walked out onto my driveway and looked up I saw two lights up in the sky moving at a pretty steady pace, I knew immediately that they were not airplanes and they were unlike any aircraft I had ever seen, they were traveling pretty close together and all of a sudden there came a cluster of them. They were like all in a line traveling the same direction. They appeared to be coming from the southwest traveling north.

I thought that we were being attacked or something because they kind of looked like missels traveling through the sky. All of a sudden they all disappeared in the same spot. We don’t know if they went behind clouds or just disappeared.

I am 53 years old and I have never seen anything like this before. We were all startled and after they were gone I went inside and called the news station and asked them if there had been any other reports and they said no at least not yet. I also tried several times to call the air traffic control to see if they picked up anything on their radar but they never answered the phone.

My neighbors son also took pictures of the event with his cell phone and has them posted on Facebook. When he enlarges the photos they look like a red slender fiery object. This is the first time I have ever reported anything like this and also the first time I have ever seen anything like this in my lifetime.

Needless to say we all had trouble sleeping last night. Thank you Resident of SC.

Approximately 8:00 pm on 12/10/12 three large glowing lights were seen over the direction of the ocean NEE of Little River SC. The orange like light appeared for about 3 seconds each in succession starting 1 then the 2nd, then the 3rd. After third appeared all disappeared.

Within 10 seconds multiple high maneuverable aircraft were circling the area. The aircraft which appeared to be fighter aircraft due to their turn axis, remained in the area for 30 seconds and appeared to head south. After they headed south, the lights appeared again in the southerner direction in which the aircraft were heading to.

After this they were lost from my view due to their elevation and tree's line or sight. No noise was heard, no engine sounds due to distance. The lights and the aircraft appeared to be different in nature due to the light emitting aircraft having no faa lights, while the other aircraft had faa lights.

Over the past three days there has been an increase in sonic booms. I personally have heard three over the past week.

3 bright lights - triangular formation 3 bright lights appeared in a triangular formation. They stayed this way - really bright- then they were gone as fast as i could say what the heck is that to my husband- he seen them and then they were gone- we could not find them again- we will be going out to check to see if there is any more activity- i am glad to have found this site- as we have seen around 5 sightings over the last few years. We also heard around 5-8 gunshots after the lights disappeared- but none before that.

15-20 red lights spotted in the sky, which moved rapidly in a linear fashion and formed triangles December 8, 2012. Approximately 19:30 Driving southbound on Hwy 501 from Conway, SC to Myrtle Beach, SC while crossing the Lake Busbee bridge, my partner and I saw several red lights grouped together in the north east part of the sky. The lights proceeded to separate and form triangles (obtuse and acute) moving south.

There were three lights per triangle. The movements were very rapid and linear. The movement was so fast that the shapes just appeared.

There were several triangles formed. My partner and I pulled over to observe the phenomenon. The lights started to disappear.

South of us, two orange lights remained. Then one disappeared and only one was left. It dropped down below the trees, and then it slowly rose in the sky.

From the distance similar to that of a star, it transformed to a blurry white/silver spot. The blur started to drop closer until it was close enough to recognize as a triangle with rounded edges. It was spinning very fast, which created some type of "waves" in the air around it.

When it got to the height slightly lower than a hovering helicopter, it transformed into a bubble/balloon with some type of ventilator on the side. It was falling in a floating fashion similar to that of a plastic bag. It floated over our heads and towards the woods before reaching Hwy 501 Business.

2 yellow-orange star-like objects. My husband, young daughter, and I were traveling to Myrtle Beach for a few days and were about 15 minutes away from our resort traveling on 544 W when I noticed a bright, yellowish-orange light that was star-like, but noticeably larger. At first, I thought it might be a cell tower light because it was stationary and it faded out, but less than a minute later, it appeared again in a different location with another one beside it.

They both remained stationary and faded out. About a minute later, they appeared again closer together for only 2 or 3 seconds and faded out a final time. It was cloudy and foggy the rest of our evenings in Myrtle Beach.

V shaped object emitting no sound or lights I was just outside with my husband and dog and I looked up into the sky. It is a clear night-no clouds visible and there is a bright moon. I looked up into the eastern part of the sky and saw a v-shaped object flying low, flying southerly.

It was emitting no sound and had no lights.It looked as though there could have been several together but I am not certain. The sighting only lasted a few seconds and I lost the object due to the glare of our street light.

My husband and neighbors saw something a few months ago in the same part of the sky. The objects they saw looked like glow sticks that bumped and flashed and took off at an alarming speed-also emitting no sound. It looked as though the object I saw was purposely flying under the radar.

Orange ball of light in Garden City, SC heading NE 1 Ball of fire entering field of view at the horizon heading NE. Limited perspective limited estimation of speed. Best guess would be 150-200 knots.

Heading NE parallel to coast. Description is flickering ball of fire, no trail, no sound. No altitude deviation after it leveled off.

I think I saw an arced trajectory initially coming from either the beach area, or within a mile of the coast off Garden city, SC. The observation lasted about one minute and I believe died from lack of illumination rather than from distance. MYR tower was called, but they observed nothing.

Flightaware.com was consulted, but there were no IFR flights in that vicinity reported. I believe the light source died before it reached as far NE as Myrtle Beach.

Three red and gold orbs in Mt Pleasant, SC I was on my cell phone with my husband when the power went out. I looked outside to see if all the power on the street was out and it was. I looked up into the sky and saw over Jakes Lane three red and gold orbs (about the size of my pinky finger if I held it up).

I thought maybe they were fireworks as the light was so vivid. Each orb had red and gold and the gold seemed to be swirling back into the red; the light of the orbs seemed 'heavy' or 'thick' and was moving. The three orbs stayed in a triangle formation as they moved over N Shelmore Blvd.

There was no sound being made by them and there was a plane in the sky flying the other way. I don't know if it was one craft that was triangular or three separate craft that stayed in formation. I was able to call my husband back and eventually reached him.

While on the phone, I ran into the road and took a picture. The craft seemed to slow and stop near the Square in I'on and then moved on. Then the power came back on.

I did call the power company and they said a circuit breaker flipped and that caused the outage.

I saw 3 crafts with bright red blinking lights and they just disappeared. I went outside to feed my dog when something caught my eye in the sky. I looked up and saw what I thought was a low flying plane but then really looking I saw 3 separate crafts with red blinking lights going out from the center to the ends then turned white and then started all over again continueously.

They were moving a little slower than a normal small plane. As I was watching them the last one just disappeared, then the middle and then first.

Full Report Text:

yellow-orangish in color like object (eggplant like shape) appeared to not have lights on the outside, but radiate light from inside. Observed a yellow-orangish in color like object (eggplant like shape) coming from the South, over Lake Murray. The object appeared yellow orangish as it approached and then yellow white as it moved away.

It appeared to not have lights on the outside, but radiate light from inside. The light wasn't brilliant, it was just "lit up." The object was much higher than the tree line, but lower than a plane.

I thought it was a helicopter at first, but it moved too smoothly (like an airplane). I was grabbing my coffee mug out of my car before I went to bed, as I saw the object approach, I ran inside and got my wife. The object just passed over us as we came outside.

The object disappeared behind tall trees, as it moved North East way from us.

Full Report Text:

15-20 orange/reddish orbs, moving in a similar pattern, heading south, then disappearing. 15 - 20 orange/reddish orb type lights "floating" south then disappearing and reappearing. There was no sound whatsoever.

Smaller orbs were breaking off some of the larger orbs. They were all moving in a similar pattern. Some higher than others.

They were moving together in a line but it was not a perfectly straight line. Later that night, I do not know if the lights were related, but there was a green falling flash that came out of an empty sky. The green ligh happened around 3am.

Flashing red and white looked like 4 or more flashing objects, bouncing back and forth in a pattern over the Atlantic Ocean On 11-08-12 Thursday night, my wife told me about so loud music & singing across from our home. We were standing on our front porch listening to music, and spotted Flashing lights over the ocean infront of our home. They could no have been far out to be able to see them infront of us.

These Flashing lights were red and white, and they were jumping across, back and forth, but these stayed inside one area with a constant pattern of moving together as they flashed. But it may have been one object that had all of these lights flashing, but No Sound! It was late, but The Sky was Clear,and There were no planes around at that time frame, We only saw them for about 10-15 minutes left in a flash and just like they appeared togather, they We live only 2 miles from the Airport, and when they talke off, we can see about all of them. Our home is on Stilts and two story, So that puts us up pretty high up.

We could see the ocean before they built houses across the lake from us. I called them to report it, and The Airport give me a number at the FFA. I called to report it, and was telling him what I saw, and he stopped me.

He said he was going to put me on Speaker phone, and he wanted me to start over. I told him what my wife and I saw the night before, and many of other different object sightings, out over the Atlantic Ocean, But they were straight in front of us. I have seen moreo objects that I will add to more of these Description forms.

The man I spoke with told me to type up everything I had told him, and mail it to him, and I told him of other sightings I had seen, and he said to include them and the dates and places of them all. The gentleman got back intouch with me, and he said to fill out this form. So because there are more sighting, you will see more listed with my name on them.

Thanks,.
