6 red lights near Lake Jackson. Just reporting that my family and I saw six red lights in the sky flying low and making no noise which we have planes fly over all the time; but it being thanksgiving air traffic was non-existent and so we definitely suspect these lights to be UFOs. The lights did not flash or blink, but were a constant red/orange color.
They also seemed to fly in pairs in a line with the last two side by side. They flew over our street Margarite towards Lake Jackson and furthermore towards Quantico.

Object hovering over homes in Manassas, VA On 24 November 2014, at about 6:40 pm, I was driving southwest on Hastings drive coming from Liberia Avenue. I stopped at the 4 way stop intersection and noticed three red lights hovering over a section of houses. The lights were not evenly spaced but from my view it look like the object was triangular shaped.
The lights were solid, not flashing like an aircraft, and it was too big to be a drone. As I went through the intersection, the object slowly began to move in the direction of Lake Jackson. So I u-turned and tried to follow it but lost it as the light went past the top of the tree line.
My first thought was “what the hell is that?” It was a dark night, because the moon was crescent, but the sky was clear, no clouds. It was dark enough that I could not make out the shape of the object but I could tell that it was bigger than the house it was hovering over.

I witnessed a square object soaring through the sky (in front of my car). It had 4 lights -- one mustard-yellow light on each corner. It was dark and I was driving home from work and was almost home when a strange object in the sky dipped down just ahead of my car and then gracefully soared upward and through the tree tops.
As it went through the tree tops in turned sideways at an angle and then straightened out after going through the trees and disappeared behind the trees. It was the shape of a SQUARE with 4 mustard-yellow lights (one light on each corner) that were very bright. When I first saw it I was almost to the stop sign near my home so I stopped and watched it until I could no longer see it.
My first reaction was “what the heck is that!” It was so close to me that it shook me up. I can’t stop thinking about it. It’s hard to say how big it actually was, but I can tell you that it looked like at least a 50’ to 60’ square.
I had my car windows down on both sides and even stuck my head out the window and could not hear any sound whatsoever. It moved so gracefully through the sky. It was a strange sight to see, certainly not the ordinary.

While driving home at night I saw a number of mustard-yellow spheres in the sky (low altitude). Two sets of three were in v formation It was dark and I was on my way home from work and driving on a busy road through a residential area when I saw off to my right ahead of me there were a number of large round mustard-yellow lights (approximately 10 to 15) in the sky that were simply hovering and not going anywhere. Each one appeared to have one round yellow light (without a beam) that I could see, and I could not hear any sound.
Two sets of three lights were in a “V” formation. I saw the two “V” formations slightly move once for each of them. The two “V” formations were parallel and the others were spaced around and between them in a general congregated area.
These lights were not like airplane lights. The lights stayed consistent without any flashing, blinking, color change, beam or any change at all. These lights appeared larger than the lights we normally see in the sky on regular airplanes and jets when flying at the same level.
These lights were not at a high altitude, but not close enough to see other details in the dark. This sighting was over a busy, small city and I could not tell if they were positioned over the business or residential district. I did not see any other aircraft in the sky at that location.
It was not raining and there was nothing obstructing my vision until they were hidden by trees as I passed by in my car. I do not have a camera phone so I was not able to take pictures.
