I am a 68 year-old, male. I have a professional degree and have owned a small business for more than 20 years. I have never seen anything like this before. I stepped outside on the front step/porch to grab a smoke before heading to bed. It was approximately 11:20 PM (23:20). The date was July 1, 2018. A reddish-orange, round object caught my eye in the southwestern sky. It appeared to be hovering over the State of Minnesota Fair Grounds, about two miles away from my house. With the Fourth of July just days away, I assumed someone was shooting fireworks at the Fair Ground, and the object I saw was the first shot of a fireworks display. It appeared to be at an elevation I’ve observed before where a ball of fire is shot into the sky and after reaching a certain height, it explodes into a floral arrangement or a starburst. I waited for it to explode and burst into stars and other bright objects. To my surprise, however, it did not explode. Instead, moved higher in elevation and took a path to the northeast. At this point I’m asking myself one question, “What is this?” Its elevation continued to rise as it moved across the sky in a northeasterly direction. I assumed it must be a distressed jetliner, helicopter, or airplane, and that it was going to crash somewhere off to the northeast. All I could make out was a large round ball of fire….large enough to be a jet, a helicopter, or a plane, but I could not discern any shape; no wings, no tail wing, no helicopter rotor. So I had to change my assumption and could no longer say that it looked like an object that was ablaze. I live in an area that is beneath a moderately used flight path for jetliners departing the Twin Cities Metropolitan Airport, which is several miles south and west from my house. The departing flights are gaining elevation as they pass over my neighborhood but are close enough that they can clearly be identified by their fusiform shape and wings. They are close enough that on occasion cabin lights can be made out. Occasionally a helicopter will fly overhead. I’ve always suspected that these are medical-related helicopters travelling between two hospitals; one south and east from my house, and the other to the northwest. I mention this about jetliners and helicopters to let you know I am familiar with aircraft that have flown over my house and are within view from my yard. I know what they look like, how fast they travel when they are within view, and how they sound. The object I saw was travelling about at the speed of a helicopter, but there was no sound….no engine roar, no propeller sound, and no rotor sound. I followed it as it deliberately moved across the sky to the northeast, never altering direction. I followed it until it disappeared beyond the horizon. No one was with me when this sighting occurred.

Dutch Harbor, AK
I am a 73 year old Vietnam Marine vet. Presently I don’t drink or due any drugs nor have I ever had an addition to those vices. I have never observed a UFO until I took several pictures with my Sony ax7 camera mounted on a tripod from my room at the Grand Alution Hotel. It was a full moon night with a great view of the harbor. Without adjusting or moving the camera I took several shots. Only in 4 pictures out of 8 did these blue/green saucer images appear. They were faint at first but came closer and traveled from a clouded area and to the left. I will send you the sequence of photos so you can evaluate them and please let me know if this is really a UFO sighting?

There was a glowing red ball that came down from the sky and kept changing directions and moving at different speeds. We would see it go behind some trees and then shoot up really high and come back down moving a different way. Eventually we drove past it after about 10 minutes

Okay. Seriously just saw a group of seven bright lights off in the distance in the sky, and then they came more overhead. Then a couple more followed the group as the group began to move from the east, to the northern part of the sky (my hubby says he thinks the direction they moved was more westward). They were moving erratic and in a group almost as though they were dancing. They hung around above us (all we could see was lights... almost as though they were stars moving around fairly quickly) for a couple minutes as they were moving across the sky from east to north. Is there a place to go to find what military operations are going on tonight in the sky? Did we see drones? What was that? It was around 9:30-9:35pm Mountain Standard Time. There was no sound that we could hear coming from these moving objects in the sky.

West Fargo, ND
I was pulling into my garage of my apartment complex in West Fargo on July 1 at 9:20 pm. I began to back my car into the garage, when out of the corner of my eye, I see something in the sky. I put my vehicle into neutral and pulled the parking brake before exiting to get a closer look at what it was. As soon as I put my eyes on the object I knew it was something I had never seen before. It was a metallic sphere around 3 feet in diameter, the color was dull but I could tell it was solid metal. At first eye contact I was about 50ft from the object and it was hovering 5-10ft above the power lines that run perpendicular with the road. As soon as I consciously thought, "That's a ufo" the object began to move. I ran closer to the power lines and began to pull my cellphone from my pocket to record video. The object moved quickly north east directly into the wind. It moved how i would describe "on a rope" as if it was not affected by the wind which ! is strange for a typical object of that size like a balloon. I would estimate the object went from standstill to moving around 30mph in under 5 seconds. After I finally was able to retrieve my cellphone from my pocket and open the camera to record I estimate the object was 2000ft away from me and at an altitude of 1000ft. The video i recorded you can see the object but its very small and you cant get much from it other than that it confirms I did see an object. After I recorded for around 10 seconds I watched it go directly into a large storm cloud and disappear from sight. I believe its important to add that I believe im a credible observer who is unlikely to misidentify a drone or balloon being that I have lots of experience with drones. It made no sound from what I could tell. Also my father and Uncle were both f-16 pilots in the Air National Guard flying out of Fargo and I have lots of experience identifying aircraft.

Three sets of 2 red lights each light stacked on top of the other. Visualize left to right two lights spaced evenly forming a rectangular shape. The lights on the bottom stayed steady while those above flashed in Sequences. The two outer sets were spaced further apart than the set in the middle. They stayed about 10 degrees above horizon. Going 16 miles north on rutledge pike them looking south they appear to be SSE. It is nearly midnight and they are still in same location.

North Hollywood, CA
I just saw 2 UFO's over North Hollywood!!! The first was toroidal shaped (like a donut)... I could see through the middle. The second was triangle shaped w 5 flashing lights in a hexagon pattern. It was spinning around as it flew overhead. At first I thought they were silver balloons... but as they got closer I saw that they were vehicles. They were absolutely silent. The first went off to the East. The triangle went east, and then turned around and came back. The donut shaped craft came back, joined the other and they went off to the southeast. Tried taking pictures but I dont think they showed up very well. They were really high up. I saw a few jets fly over and could tell they were far below the UFO's. Here is a pic from my phone... I think this is the donut shaped one... when the light went out I could see through it. ((name deleted)) :) P.S. it is the little light dot it lower left of picture... zoom it to see it!

I took photos not realizing there was a UFO. But on closer inspection it was there clear as day hovering in the same spot above the road I was driving on out in a vast field. It wasn't moving it was just hovering and I was maybe 2 miles away from the Sacramento Airport. There are a few questionable buildings around the facility I work at I may add.

My friends,A man and his wife were headed home in their suv ,on a country road,, north of Pleasanton tx.The female saw a grey and elongated (cigar shaped) object low ,above the tree tree line out of the passenger closed window. immediately the suv was shaken enough that her husband exclaimed. “Woah what was that” His wife explained that a object (ufo?) flew over and rocked the suv enough that her husband wondered what shook the vehicle. She didn’t mention any sound. They were not really afraid or upset, and I was told by the female what she saw. The husband driving only exclaimed that it happened, ,and the vehicle was affected. He was not really concerned and was very casual about the happening.. The road was asphalt and level. The husband when asked,he acknowledge that his vehicle was affected and he has to correct the direction the car was travelling

I was driving west on route 18 in Medina. Waffle House was on my left when I saw a medium sized cylindrical object rotating in the air. Each flat side of the cylinder appeared to have a bright white light. The object was moving from south to north across the sky and it moved as if it were a meteor.

We were sitting outside in the driveway when we looked to the west skies and saw what I can best describe as a super fast shape shifting object that almost resembled an eye floaters. 3 of us saw this and a few minutes later we saw a bright light coming towards us that shot away with incredible speed.

I was standing in front of my yard playing with my kids. In the distance I noticed a red light in the sky. It was still day time the light was in the same spot but you could notice it was still but it had a slight movement as it was hovering in the same spot but could not be completely still. Few more second one red light appears to exit the main red light thru the button. It exit then headed west rite after that another red light exit the main red light and headed east and both red lights disappeared. As I went to pull my phone to record it the main red light just disappeared. I didn't see it fly away it was gone. It looked like someone hit a switch and it turned off. When the two lights where flying off they had a streak to it. Like when people draw comet with the streak of light as it passes by or a shooting star. It was not a comet or shooting star. It was day time.

An orb of light streaked across the sky during the day while I was riding my bike. It was a ball of light that disappeared after about 10 seconds after I noticed it. It was white, and a circle. It was a clear sunny day.

Brunswick, ME
In summer of 2017 or 2018, leaving from Pleasant Street in Brunswick, Maine onto 295 and going north to Topsham for lunch. I noticed a large number of lower flying airplanes. There were several passenger planes as well as what looked like jets. Which is not completely foreign as Brunswick has a decommissioned naval base that does still do training, but typically not with jets. The planes seemed to be doing turns and going back and forth and not just flying through. While returning to Brunswick south on 295 roughly 15 minutes later, I turned onto the Brunswick off ramp that merges with Pleasant street. It is a sharp U turn off ramp, as you drive and before starting to turn there is a small field on the left that is lower than the roads so more like a valley; that is surrounded with pine trees. There is no access to field unless you’re pulling over on the side of the freeway and walking into it. The trees and guard rails block and vehicles from pulling into th! e field. Hovering maybe 30 feet over the valley was large, maybe the size of a school bus silver bright light. I didn’t see any actual physical object just a bright blinding light. The light seemed to be moving slightly up and down as if it was hovering. The light also seemed to thin towards the outer edges. I only remember a fragment of the moment; I don’t remember much before pulling back into my works parking lot. Just the blinding light, I don’t remember passing it or pulling away from it. I do remember looking back up into the sky and seeing that it was a clear day with few clouds. The section I saw the light by the freeway does not have any buildings in view. Even during winter when trees are bare. There are no towers with lights and the river that runs near the freeway is not in view of that section.

Florence, AZ
I was in prison during this time and I noticed right before head count a buddy and I were standing out side of the tent and I was looking up into the sky and saw a disc shaped object. And I point it out to my friend and when he saw it too. We were amazed. Im 100% sure it was a disc shaped and it was silent. Couldn't hear not sound from it. It was moving very slow above the cloud line and and there were very few cloud in the sky. But that not the best part. What was more interesting was when it went into the cloud it never came out on the side. The cloud was not that big and you could easily see both sides of the cloud. Till this day it bugs me because I know for a fact what I saw I was never a believer about aliens until I witnessed that.

I screamed and my eyes poured water from fear of what i saw. The orange ball was so bright it reflected light off the clouds. Fireball was translucent. I hung the phone up and ran to take pictures. I obtained 2 photos of rear of ship. By then it disappeared in the northeastern sky. I have not been the same since incident. Everytime I think of or repeat story I breakdown weeping. I was up close to this event. My life will never be the same.

One flying light looked like a plane flying over, but it look so high, but we thought could it be that high, looked easily 33,000 ft. But as we continued to look at it and watch where it was headed too, but then it randomly stopped. Then another light that looked like a plane came and joined the other light, then they started to move in circles, like the dots in an Ying and yang. They started to revolve around Escher other spinning faster and faster, until they took off in the air. They went straight up, and disappeared...

Newbury Park, CA
This incident occurred in Newbury Park, CA on Saturday June 30th 2018. I went outside to move my vehicle from the street to my driveway. On my way back into the house, a blue light in the eastern skies caught my attention. Initially, it looked like an electric blue disk heading west at roughly the same speed as a Cessna aircraft. Judging the object’s velocity, altitude, and size accurately is difficult as there is nothing to compare it to in the 10:05 pm skies. Because this object reminded me of another sighting that I had 6 years earlier, I ran inside, grabbed the 12mm x 50mm binoculars to get a quick glimpse as I wanted to rule out airplanes, satellites, drones, etc. What I saw amazed me. The object looked like a translucent electric blue orb, no defined outline. My GUESTIMATE is that the object was 30-50 feet in diameter and very roughly 1000-1500 feet above me. I then ran into the house, grabbed my night vision monocular and proceeded to track the object. I was tracking its trajectory in relation to the (stationery) stars. To my surprise, the object turned to the south. I concluded that satellites don’t turn, at least not sharply. Then, I remembered that I had a cell phone in my pocket, so I pulled it out a recorded a lousy/shaky video before losing sight of it as it went over the roof of my house. Shaken up and puzzled over what I had just witnessed, I sat in my backyard for a few minutes to gather my thoughts when I look up and I see a red orb in the east heading west, same size, shape, speed, and elevation as the first one. Then, I sat in the backyard, where I have a much better view of the western skies and tracked the red orb with my night vision monocular for about 15 minutes. It headed west. It then turned north and back to the east. Having no clue what the objects are, I started to panic. So, I went inside for a drink of water and to calm my nerves. After a few minutes, I went outside to check the skies to check for additional orbs. Directly above me, I saw a red orb following a green orb. The red orb was approximately 6-8 “orb lengths” in back of the green orb. I took my eyes off of them for about 5 seconds to grab the binoculars and when I looked up the red orb was in front of the green orb by quite a bit. The red orb had stopped, while the green orb proceeded forward toward the red one. When the green orb reached a position that is parallel to the red orb’s position, the green orb stopped and the red one proceeded to move forward. Again, I followed the red orb, but this time with my binoculars, but for only about a minute. I then abandoned the red orb to investigate the green orb, however, it was nowhere to be seen. After the orbs had disappeared, I scanned the skies with my bare eyes for 10-15 minutes when I witnessed something incredible. To the north-north east (NNE) of my location, approximately 1 to 1.5 miles from my location, a blue orb (30-50 feet estimated diameter) ascended from the ground (exact location is unknown as it was dark), in plain view. I immediately called my wife. She came out running and witnessed the orb ascending. We both looked at the orb thru the binoculars as it ascended to the same location where the other orbs had previously been. It seemed to undulate as it rose. It ascended faster than a helicopter, about 2 times faster. This entire incident lasted approximately 40-50 minutes. After this incident, I conducted extensive investigation looking for answers. I searched the internet for local events that involved the release of balloons, local newspapers, local news organizations, looked at the local high school website for weather experiments or other events (high school is closed for the summer), sales events, searched the MUFON and National UFO Reporting Center for new, but similar reports, NOAA website, visited Youtube to see if anybody has posted anything about this specific incident, but no luck. As of yet, I have no answers as to the identity of these objects. Being a scientist, I explored many possible explanations for what my wife and I witnesses. Two possibilities: (1) colored weather balloons with a source of light inside and (2) drones. After careful consideration, I dismissed these explanations as weather balloons don’t stop on a dime, especially when a nearby balloon is in motion. Weather balloons don’t maneuver intelligently. Secondly, drones return to their launch locations. These objects never returned back to where they came from. Large drones tend to be loud. No sound was heard while the orbs maneuvered above us and no sound was heard when the last orb ascended not far from our location. My search for answers did reveal a Youtube video that shows similar orbs that appeared above Newbury Park, CA, some 5 years ago. Here’s the link: https://youtu.be/4vk7du7Hekg
