Bright green ball appeared out of nowhere, like shooting star for 3-4 seconds except fr glowing green color. 2 balls that appeared to "fall off" and then completely disappeared from sky. No clouds. No planes in sight.

I was driving and I saw a circle looking thing lit with a green light. It was moving parallel to the ground and at a speed way to fast to be a helicopter of plane. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Vernon, CT
My camera does not do too well with clarity, zoomed in and when it is getting dark but it is still viewable in the picture. It started to move faster, and in the same tilt then disappeared. But not really, just took off and I no longer could see it and the entire viewing was only a few short minutes. This is the first time viewing an object like this. The way it moved, shaped and that it was completely silent with no trail at all. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

In Prospect Park, my wife and I saw a sphere like object slowly move across the sky. It was stationary for long periods in the sky as well. My wife saw a accompanying red light in the moments the object was going further away. Interestingly, we also saw a jet

Mechanicsburg, PA
Sunday evening just before 7:00 pm while at a relatives home I was looking west with the Sun down behind the homes in that direction I noticed 2 white reflective objects. They seemed quite high and no contrails but I did not think they were airplanes but seemed like maybe balloons? These were only visible for a few seconds but while they were they were positioned about adjacent or some what near each other. After this I continued looking in the area and another appeared but farther to the left and then another appeared farther to the right. They were only visible again for just a few seconds. Several minutes later 1 more appeared farther to right from the first time. These objects did not seem to be moving in any direction or with motion but not exactly hovering either. The ever slight movement seemed to be towards the west or left of the sunset position. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Winnebago, MN
A small green light moving west to east in the southern sky. The green light had a white trail 10 times the length of the greean ball of light. It covered my complete field of view in 4 seconds nearly perfectly horizontal in its trajectory. Size was very dificult to determine. My best guess would be it was 10 miles south of Winnebago and at roughly 3,000 ft. I have seen meteors and this was distinctly a green light about the size of a M&M in the sky. Given its small size if it had been a manned craft it would have been traveling at a speed I have never wittnessed. I have also seen fighter jets from 1 to 10 miles away and this was faster than any jet. I have never seen something like this before and was startled enough to find somewhere to report it.

This shape moved quickly across the Eastern sky. It performed two quick bursts along our skyline. It was really quick. Immediately disappeared.

Hampshire, IL
I thought it was a shooting star, but it was much closer and larger and flew across the sky over the corn and bean fields for 10 seconds, stopped and turned directions and exited into a seam in the âether. I saw the craft, it changed shapes as it faced away from me. Freaky! It all happened so quickly.

We where drive on highway 30 going toward lancaster. I was looking around and so was the driver when we both spotted this craft that reflected the light from the sun but could make out its shape and silver as it was just hovering over the Highway. I am not sure if any one else saw this or not but I know what I saw.

Springfield, VA
I live near a flight path for Washington Reagan National Airport (DCA). I was in our backyard, and had just watched (and heard) a jet fly roughly overhead (NE) in its landing pattern towards DCA. A minute or so later, I saw a bright light or shiny object moving in the opposite direction (SW). It moved at roughly the same relative speed as the jet, given the jet was probably 2000-5000 feet above me. I assumed this shiny object was also a plane, with the Sun reflecting off it, but it made no noise whatsoever. As it moved away, it took on the appearance of two lights, but i can't vouch for that as I sometimes see slightly double at a distance. The brightness, considering this was broad daylight and a completely cloudless sky, and the complete lack of noise were enough to make me think twice. When it disappeared behind a tree, I got up and exited our backyard to the parking lot behind our house to get another look. The trip took me three seconds, but when I to got the parking lot, the object was no longer visible. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Aloha, OR
Around 3:30am a friend of mine and I were grabbing a bag from her car, and turned back towards our home. We noticed what we thought was an oddly bright star, then thought it might be a plane, then realized it was flickering like fire and sort of, hazy and floating. 2 neighbors' dogs were barking at sky in its direction. Filmed on cell phone and called a roommate out to see, could be seen by roommate and cellphone also. It gave off a sort of irridescent light, almost colorful occasionally. It drifted closer and closer to homes, dipped to treeline, then moved further back and got really bright and winked out.

Salinas, CA
Driving home from Salinas late around 2 am, not any cars coming towards us but two in front. Saw a green light flash in the sky and looked like it was coming down out of the sky and then just vanished out. We were not around any civilization, just fields. The two cars in front of us pulled over and i saw the drivers peering up into the sky as well. It was crazy and i couldn't believe my eyes but seeing the other cars look up and my boyfriend saw it too so it was definitely something!!!! ((ADDENDUM #1 FROM WITNESS)) Hi there! I thought it could have been a meteor as well but it was far too big and far too green!! It was like a green orb but the inside was bright! It was just crazy how to two cars in front of us immediately pulled over as well and i saw the drivers and passengers looking into the sky so I felt like they saw something as well and it wasn’t an ordinary meteor, but I’m open for speculation! Hahaha it was just SUPER COOL! I feel like I’ve waiting my whole life to see something like that!! ((END ADDENDUM #1)) ((ADDENDUM #2)) It was around 2:00 AM on Sunday the 8th! Coming home from the movies in Salinas coming to Watsonville! ((END ADDENDUM #2)) Thanks!!

Bear Lake, MI
At about 45 degrees South, a small point of light appeared, looking like a bright star, it flashed even brighter. Moving Southwest very slowly and vanished. A few seconds later, another point of light appeared directly above me, moving Northeast at a slow rate. I immediately thought it was the I.S.S. (having seen the Space Station before, it looked very similar), however at about 40 degrees, it seemed to stop and change direction moving North. After continuing for a few moments it changed direction to Northeast again. I followed the point of light until it finally disappeared behind the treeline.

Greenwood, IN
While driving southbound on SR 135 between Stones Crossing and Olive Branch, all 4 occupants in my car observed 2 orange lights flying from SE to NE. When we first saw the lights, they were east of SR 135. We decided to pull over into Dyes Walk Golf Club to observe the lights. We got out of the car, and observed the following. Both lights/craft appeared to be traveling between 2000-3000 feet and a speed of around 200 knots. We could hear no noise from the lights/craft. The trailing light when above us, moved up next to the other light and maintained side by side formation. That light then suddenly disappeared. The other light continued moving NW for another 30 seconds or so, getting dimmer, then brighter, then accelerated at a high rate of speed and completely disappeared. Both my self and my wife (who was also one of the observers in the car) are both career pilots. I know how airplanes move and what the exterior lighting should look like. No aircraft uses orange lights, and I’ve never in my long career have witnessed anything like this. It was truly astounding. I made a phone call to the Indianapolis Airport control tower/TRACON apx 30 min later and described the event to the supervisor. He stated they did not observe anything of that nature on radar or from the tower.

Spherical red light moving through the night sky. It came from the north and moved south. Lost sight of it after 3 minutes. The light was steady, but appeared to have a shadow moving along the edge of it.

Trenton, ME
While on vacation to Acadia, National Park in Maine, we were camped in Trenton, Maine, right on the water. The sky was very clear with a bright Milky Way, so I decided to walk to the beach to take some night shots. While setting up my camera, a meteor streaked overhead, travelling from west to east. I noted that it was much slower than the typical meteor, about ½ speed, I would say. The color was yellowish and it did not leave any tail or trail. The strange part was that at the end, rather than simply disappearing as meteors do, it seemed to suddenly slow, and 3 lights came on. I recall seeing 2 whitish/yellow and 1 red light that were a lot like aircraft lights. They went off as quickly as they came on, almost as if an aircraft turned on its landing and strobe lights, then quickly turned them off. The object was probably around 5 to 10 miles from my position, based on the landmarks. No sound was made. It was just an odd observation.
