Full Report Text:
Block of extremely bright pure white lights similar to baseball stadium/flood lights Sighted a block of pure white extremely bright lights. The object was very high in the air maybe just below the clouds. The object looked to be far away but still came across as very large (maybe the size of 3 single-family homes) It sat stationary in the sky and the lights gave a large bright white star shape luminance.
The object looked almost exactly like baseball stadium lights except much bigger and much higher. I lost sight of it when I went behind the tree line and when I drive by again it was gone.

flashing white and red light in the sky over williston VT At 9:15 pm on the east coast, i stepped outback onto my porch in Williston Vermont. As i looked ahead just above the tree line i noticed a flashing light. it was white, then red, then back to white, back to red, so on and so forth.
At first i thought it was a plane far away because of the flashing lights, but after a second i noticed that it wasn't flying in a line, it was changing its direction very radically, it went from the right side of me towards the left, then went up, back towards the right, and then it was just gone. I sat and watched the part of the sky i had seen it in for about a minute more, thinking maybe it had just gotten blocked from sight by the clouds in the sky. but i never saw it again.
i have no idea how far away it actually was. but from what i saw it looked to be a circle with flashing red and white lights. from the distance i was at it seemed to only move a few inches in the sky.
the entire time i saw it was no more then fifteen seco! nds.

Large orange fireball, exceptional speed and low altitude; observed by at least two people. AWESOME! Fireball traveling in low atmosphere.below flight paths entering into BTV airport.
It was exceptionally close and large. reported to local authorities Williston P.D.
who verified radar contact with the Burlington International airport. Startling, bright, heart jumping, and exhilarating moment! Are we alone??? Do they come and go??? Are they just utilizing our planet with us?.

Several bright, glowing, orange-yellow orbs low in the sky. Geometric formation (diamond, triangle) While driving home on the interstate from Williston, VT, to Richmond just after dusk, I looked out to the left and saw around 4 very bright, glowing orbs in the sky. At first I thought that maybe it was a plane (The Burlington airport is somewhat nearby) turning toward me, since I know how bright the lights can be, but the orbs didn't move, and they were so incredibly bright that I couldn't imagine what they were.
I had time to pull out my cellphone, unlock it, and record 48 seconds of video footage. During that time I noticed maybe one additional orb, and many tiny orbs around the big ones (not sure if I only just noticed them at that point, or whether they were being emitted from the orbs.) It looked like several concentrated, ball-shaped fireworks had gone off but were just hanging in the sky and not falling or fading.
In the video you can see that the orbs come together, and form a tight triangle. It looked to be like they were descending. At the end of the video I enter a line of trees as I start to descend French Hill and the orbs can't be seen.
They seemed fairly close to me, within a mile or two. Low altitude, again, like fireworks. I noticed a truck had pulled off to the side of the road on South Road (which runs along the interstate briefly), and perhaps they were observing the objects as well.
I wish that my phone could have captured the bright, orange glow from the objects, but if you've ever tried to take a picture at night with your phone, you know how diminished the brightness of an object can be.

Bright light in Southwestern sky over Vermont It is 5:50 on a Saturday morning, I look at the door like I do every morning when I wake up, I noticed this unusual bright light in the sky, there are no visible stars just this really bright light. I found my camera and took a couple of pictures of it. I then work my wife up to have her see it.
She was just as intrigued by it as I was. She looked for the binoculars to see if she could see it any better. We watched it for 15-20 minutes before it covered in by the clouds.
Backgrounds: I’m a self-employed technology consultant my wife works at a CPA firm. I’m 53 and she is 59 we have been married for 28 years and lived in the same location for 29 years.
