The report, as filed
Looked out my kitchen window and noticed a bright light below the clouds. I was about to turn away when it sped off to the east quickly then stopped. It then flew close to the origin point, then went back east and did a large circle coming to rest where it began. It then got very bright and went up and disappeared up quickly into to he clouds for just a moment and returned. It then got bright and stayed there. I ran outside and got the neighbor on her deck. It was still there. After a moment, it turned red then flew back and forth very quickly about a mile or 2. It then turned blue and did some more. It then turned bright white once again. It then flew west very quickly then instantly turned South and disappeared from view. The movement was in no way a helicopter. The increase in speed and maneuvering was also incredible. As for a drone, no. I've seen the mothership drone in operation and also the range,speed and capability this was going, just nope.

I was driving north on highway 62 (North of College Street and South of Bell Boulevard) and noticed a very bright, glowing orange sphere moving from the west, in an easterly direction. It was moving at a smooth, steady pace in a straight line. I would estimate the object was approximately 35,000 - 40,000 in the air, and must have been very large. The orange glow was peculiar. It didn't shine like an LED light, but glowed more like plasma. Every now and then, it would glow a bit brighter, but didn't really appear to pulsate. I pulled into a parking lot on North Front street as soon as I could and got out of the car as the object passed over my head. Three small, white orbs appeared to come out of the object and then it just vanished. The entire sighting lasted approximately 45 seconds. I can't imagine that I'm the only one who saw this object last night. It was quite large and very orange. It really stood out in the sky.

Sometime between 23:00-23:59 I went outside for a smoke and looking South to SSW over the Bay and very low in the sky, I saw what looked almost like green to greenish blue scattered aurora borealis-looking blobs about the size in total of what'd amount to a small recreational boat, 3 to 4 of them in an almost diamond formation, each blob (btwn an orb and a disk, blurry edges) flashed in the same spot around 3 times each lasting about 3-5 seconds per flash and not in unison, and by the time I was intensely focused on it wondering what the heck it was (over the span of about 1 minute) they then disappeared and didn't reappear for the duration of my cigarette. It was about a pinky finger width up from the top of the tree horizon across the bay from me but it was between Belleville and Prince Edward County. It was silent, there was no noise at all unlike the hospital helicopter or aircraft I often see from Airforce Base. I haven't seen anything like that before actually, I'm not someone who writes these things ever, and have lived here 5+ years.
