I was driving to work and i saw a ball of fire falling from the sky in the far distance. At first i thought "WOW" a shooting star but as I continued to look it didn't appear to be that at all. I'm no expert but I've seen falling stars before and this did not look like what I have seen before. whatever it was it was definitely on fire and it there were flashes of light as pieces were breaking of the object. Im sure that i couldnt have been the only one to see this.. believe me it was hard to miss. Maybe it'll make the news.. ??????

I let my dog out the backyard. While waiting for him to finish I noticed an exhaust trail in the sky. I look at it until I see the direction the source of the exhaust was flying. As I observe the this, an object appears over to right of my field of view. The object appears, moves quickly to the right, and disappears again.

At approximately 12:02 pm may 25th 2019 ...Sitting in my back porch i was enjoying some nice sunny weather ....when out of no where heavy chemtrail planes starting to appear and spray ...a lot...so disgustingly I’m starting a this one unique chemtrail..when all of a sudden a small circular object just appears out of the chemtrail line itself!!! ... my adrenaline instantly was rushing...traveling east to north ..I’m going to gauge it around 50 to 70 thousand feet high .....i witnessed it for about at the most 15 seconds before it either vanished out of my sight ...or took off at a very high rate of speed ...i believe it was circular...but that could of also been due to being so high up in the sky ...it was a lot smaller then the pure white chemtrail planes that fly over when spraying ....it was a very darker color ..that is what instantly caught my eye and attention when it came out of the chem trail line....I also have had other encounters but from over a ! decade ago...if you would like me to post them also I wouldn’t mind ..thank you for listening

On 3/16/19 I was bringing in a load of firewood. I thought I saw a meteor, when I looked up, there were 2 round lights side by side coming out of the south west sky. Moving much slower then a meteor, and faster then a plane. They were a dull orange color with a haze around them, which was odd because the night sky was clear and bright. The 2 lights moved at the same speed and same direction, but slightly changed distance from each other. They traveled straight and then turned 90 degrees to the north east, and a few seconds later were gone. They made no noise, and the light was constant, not blinking like airplanes. I saw them for about 10 seconds.

Heading towards work in a Uber, i silently sat in the backseat of the car. I notice a plane which seems low but nothing alarming. Its worth mentioning in this part of Cranston it is one of the highest points in the entire state also has VERY heavy air traffic. Now for what ever reason this plane keeps my attention, ill take it to my grave that this damn. Thing looked like it wasnt moving? And it most certainly WAS-NOT. this huge plane which looked like a typical common large boeing was seeminly STUCK completely still in the sky! I was heading north and the plane seemed to be heading south. I could make out the side of the plane and the belly. It was a large purple plane with a yellow stripe going down the middle, towards the end of the stripe it turned red and ends at a sharp point, i do not remember any writing or logos as my brain was melting. I noticed my breathing was picking up and i found my self on my knees looking out the back window (i always sit in the rear passenger seat in ubers) im a grown man who had a grown man driving me, im sure i came off odd because the man eventually noticed me and awkwardly asked "lots of good sights round here huh?..." I didnt even reply as i couldn't wrap my mind around what i had just saw. I remember i desperately wanted to scream LOOK LOOK! or ask him to pull over but while im wathcing this i couldnt get anything out. It may have been becaude this man was a stranger and i didnt wanna look insane or because i was in shock and or amazement. For those in the area the whole thing happened above the Dennys next to garden city. The whole thing was seemingly harmless but ive been replaying it in my head over and over, i have googled it and some people have claimed to have captured exactly what i described on camera and its very eerie. Its also propably unrelated but one thing i have found very odd is that ever since that day i have been having some very out of the ordinary good luck.! Very minor things like finding 20 bucks, being gifted things, finding things, small coincidences that usually wouldn't go my way. The weather was fine, nothing to note. Very eerie and mind blowing, i WISH i could go back to that moment
