At approximately 10:30 PM on 5/28/17, I noticed an orange light over Lake Union. The light was steady and was moving slowly from north to south. It seemed somewhat low in the sky from my viewpoint. I could see the lights on TV towers on Queen Anne Hill that appeared to be at a higher level than this light. I watched the light for about 5 seconds, then went to another room to get my camera. When I returned, the light was gone. I did not see it again. I am in an area where planes on approach to SeaTac airport are visible much of the time.

I looked it up if it was a satellite and none were flying by at the time I saw this. It moved about twice as fast as the ISS that I usually see. I looked up that the ISS flew by at around 8:49PM according to a website that it would be flying by in my town when I typed in my zip code 60453. This object that was no satellite flew by at 9:50PM. It was slowly pulsating every 2 to 4 seconds for the first 12 seconds then it stopped then the last 15 seconds it would get bright and sometimes the brightness faded a little. It flew almost over head. One witness I was with would barely want to look at it when I was telling them to look at it. They did say the saw for a second. They told me it was white and was maybe space junk. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

It flashed along the sky, moving in a straight line. And then the light disappeared and reappeared where we originally saw it, flashing along the sky again in a straight line. Then it disappeared again.

El Mirage, AZ
Saw 12-16 lights following in a crude line across the sky at dusk. They looked like stars but it was still a little early and light out to see stars. They meandered slowly and oddly and gave off constant light so we knew it wasn't aircraft from Luke air force base. They moved like nothing I've ever seen. They headed east towards a bright star or close planet perhaps -east by north east- before they disappeared out of view. It lasted about 10 minutes from when I first noticed them.

I arrived at the Venice Beach boardwalk in the Los Angeles area to pick up my lovely lady Annette at approximately 6:50 p.m.(PST) and as I walked up to the boardwalk where I was going to meet her, I also looked around absorbing the beaches scenery and greeted her with hug. I looked North towards the Santa Monica pier from where we were and I thought to myself what a beautiful sunset. I'm not a big social media guy but I like posting pictures of scenery and places so I decided to post one that moment. I stepped up with my phone and tried to focus on placing the beach, sun, and mountains as the primary objects in the shot. I took a the first picture and quickly glanced at the result on my phones screen, immediately realizing that there was a shiny aqua colored spot in my photo, I quickly assumed it was a reflection spot of some sort. In my mind I wasn't too satisfied with my picture so between the glance at picture 1st, and tapping the phone to zoom in a l! ittle closer, it took me approximately 8-10 seconds to take the 2nd picture later from the original shot. As we drove home I told Annette to check out the picture I had posted on social media and I handed her my cell phone. Immediately she pointed out the aqua sphere in the first picture to me as I drove, and without looking at it or skipping a beat I said to her, "I know it must be a glare or something," while I said that she had shuffled to the second picture and quickly replied. "the shiny spot's, on the two different pictures, and in two different locations?" We stopped and zoomed in on the phones screen and to our amazement there were also multiple sphere's within this electric blue sphere. The picture also captured the glowing spheres reflection in the sky.

At approximately 6:15pm, I walked from my great room area into our adjacent kitchen area. I had noted that there was a high level of electrical activity and energy in our home that day. Lots of static electricity and pulses felt by my children and I throughout the day and an odd sense that something was happening worldwide in reference to terrorism and a sense of potential earthquake. As I walked into the kitchen area I felt something watching me and I looked instinctively to my dining area windows located in the back of my home on the western side and I saw a gold sphere hovering in the middle window. It was completely round, gold in color and was larger then a basketball but smaller then a beach ball. It seemed to almost follow my movement from the greater room into the kitchen area and was as if peering through the window observing me. I wondered about drone capabilities and or other forms of surveillance equipment as I looked at the sphere which then seemed almost zipped up into a stealth mode right in front of me and was not visible any longer. I thought I should report this.

Red Glowing Fuzzy Shaped Oval Moving Steadily from SW to NE. It moved steadily and very slowly and I could not track it due to trees in my neighborhood blocking view. It lasted at my vantage point for about 30 seconds. It went from red to orange and back to red while being observed.

My daughter and I were traveling North on Interstate 85 and saw a large bright object to our east. The object stayed stationary for approximately 20 minutes. At first we thought it might be a huge star or planet, but my daughter used her sky map to see what would be in that location and there was no planet or large star mapped in that location. The object then appeared to dim and go out. Hownever, 5 minutes later, the object reappeared and was just as bright. It then moved left and then right and appeared to separate and the join back together. After about 10 more minutes the object disappeared again.

I saw a red fireball that was fairly big it looked to have been coming towards in an east-southeast direction. I then told my fiancé to look at it as I thought that it was strange, she did look, then I looked back and blinked my eyes once and it de-laminated! Amazing! About five minutes later there was another small one same color.Fireball

Marine park Bklyn, NY
Saw one large light source and one smaller behind clouds over the North East direction when standing in am open area in marine park in Bklyn. It was almost as if the moon was red and behind clouds blinking red and white in a slow steady rate, then it would blink rapidly, then just a steady red or white light. This went on for about an hour and every min that passed, it looked as if a craft was seconds from coming thru the clouds. But unfortunately it never did. (I need to add that the moon tonight was crescent and was opposite sides of the sky, this was no moon light. There was also a similar light source that was MUCH bigger just to the north of the first one. It was a steady white light behind the clouds, no red, but would get very bright and then just dull out to dim, but was always on the entire time as the first one. I'll never know what made these lights tonight but I'm ((name deleted)), hoping there are others that saw this. Hoping. I need to also add that witness! #3 had her Lab dog with her, who couldn't help but stare herself at these lights, so even a dog knew that this wasn't normal.

I went inside and grabbed my binoculars and came out to see more. There it was still looking like a star but far to twinkly and moving. I moved my position to the back yard (where it was darker)and proceeded to watch for any change. I see it appear to be dancing and changing shape into an ancient harp or a circular shape, then dancing again..... I don't know, the sky is very clear tonight with a crescent moon.... Go out and look.

At first I thought it was a plane but not normal color. I looked away, as I walked to my car, then looked back at the light about 10 seconds later. I saw that it had moved closer to me towards the south. This suprised me since it seemed to have moved quite a distance in the span of 10 seconds. As I was looking at it it dropped straight down and then at a right angle at about 60 degrees and then out of sight behind the hills to the north. The duration of the movement was less than one second. I don't know the distance, but I would say at least 10 miles away from my position. What ever it was it moved impossibly fast and turned at a sharp angle. The weather was clear with no clouds and a beautiful stary night.

On the eve of May 27, 2017, 9pm, my family and i were out looking at the moon thru the telescope we had bought for our son for his 8th birthday that friday. When my nephew started yelling look look over there what is that flying. When i turned around we saw the 1st orb looked like fire red and orange glow fly by tree top lvl abot 50 feet in the air. Flying very fast and moving in all directions very quickly. I knew i had to film, it so i pulled out my camera phone. While doing so other people in passing by cars and people walking by started yelling what are those. A second orb same color and size flew in at a faster rate and chased the 1st orb turn by turn they seemed to dance. I finely got my phone to record and only caught the second one, but was very excited to capture it before they flew off into the sky. They made no noise at all. And the orbs were so bright not sure what we saw, but hope others will see this and have more info

Corona, CA
June 11th, 2017. On May 27th, 2017, around 8:00 p.m., while waiting for my clothes in the dryer, I was standing outside the garage doing some stargazing as I usually do. I noticed a dull red light proceeding west to east at tremendous speed. Airline jets usually fly over at high altitude, which I can usually judge their speed, but this light I estimated had to be going close to 3000 mph. It was in my sight coming from the west in an absolute horizontal line and didn’t deviate. It was out of sight to the east about 5-8 seconds after I saw it. Completely silent as well, no sonic boom either. It didn’t appear to be a meteor as there was no streak or tail. It wasn’t a satellite that I’ve seen plenty of as well out here in the dark of Corona. We are well away from the city lights. I was wondering if anyone else saw this light but no one I asked saw it or happened to be out looking up at the sky at that moment. I am perplexed by what I saw as I am highly interested in aircraft but I cannot come up with an explanation for this light that I saw. The perceived velocity of an object depends on its distance from the witness. Unless the witness has an accurate measurement of the distance, the velocity cannot be calculated. PD

It was shortly after sundown that my GF and I were sitting on my back patio, relaxing after dinner. As I have a habit of doing, I looked up at the sky (I enjoy sky watching) and noticed several objects to the north east that were moving. At first I thought there was a plane and the other objects were stars. After watching for several minutes I noticed there was a larger BRIGHT object and 5 smaller objects and the smaller ones were moving rather erratically. I mentioned it to my GF who also confirmed that she saw it. While she was watching I went inside and brought out my binoculars to get a closer look. They were very high in the sky. At this point, 2 of the 5 smaller craft had left the area, but 3 of the smaller ones were still there. The larger bright object had left also. Once we had the binoculars, we could see that the 3 smaller objects that were moving in what resembled figure 8 patterns but still very erratic, were circular. There was a pulsing red light in the center and a white light that ran around the outside in a clockwise motion. This continued for at least 2 hours (from 8pm to 10pm), and we went to bed, while this was still going on. These craft did not return the following or subsequent evenings. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

The object resembled a helicopter, an elongated silver object. It was dangerously low, directly above the treetops in yard. It flew over my home and my neighbor's home for about thirty seconds (two times). In terms of what it did, it simply flew over my home twice, and hovered over an area between my neighbor's house and mine. It never landed nor did anybody come out. A few hours later, the same object appeared, however, it was much higher and only flew once over my neighbor's home. They were not home at the time of this sighting. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD
