Spotted object to the south as light hit a metallic surface. Not sure size and distance but guessing a mile. There was no sound and the object looked like it was floating to the east. First thought was balloon, but it was weird shape. See close up picture. Went behind the tree line so couldn't see for a long period.

Last night around 20:50 pm, I heard a very loud noise that sounded like a heavy truck, i.e., (garbage or cement truck). It was so loud that I went and opened my door to see what was going on. I didn’t see anything at eye level, so I looked up to the sky. It was past my house, just to the left of me, moving quite fast and the noise continued. Appearance. Looked like either a huge plane or a tricycle, the back wheels had blue lights, in the front had red flashing lights.

While out running at 0630 hrs this Saturday morning. It was dark. Was looking up to West when a large bright green orb/fireball (?) object streaked across the sky going NNW. About 10 minutes later, as the sky brightened up, I looked up and saw a long thick contrail-like that completely crossed the sky where the object streaked over. Like horizon to horizon. About 5 minutes later I observed a military jet and its contrail flying parallel just to the right of the orb contrail. The military jet was going very slowly as it was very high up. Compared to the bright green orb like object that only took about 2 seconds to cross the sky over me.

I saw 3 reddish orange lights in the shape of a triangle. They were all moving together very slowly across the sky. The UFO seemed very large or close to the ground. I heard fireworks off in the distance but nothing from the craft itself. The lights did not blink like on a plane. I sat on the roadside and watched it slowly fade off into the night. Its almost as if it was comfortable to be there because of all the other lights in the sky that night! Like it was camouflaged.

While in the driveway watching fireworks we observed 2 bright lights hovering high above the tree line. They remained stationary and bright for a few minutes then seemed to go higher and disappear. We then saw 5 just like that appear and remain in place for about 5 or 6 minutes and then as with the first two we saw disappeared one at a time. Our neighbor told us the next day he also observed the same. This is the second time we have seen these lights like this.
