I did not remember the event for two days. I don't know why and that still bothers today. I can't begin to describe how I felt when I did remember. I must have replayed the event in my mind a thousand times. I still do. It has taken a lot of courage for me to write this because I believe my sighting is different than most people who have seen orbs. On Friday March 1, 2019 exactly two years the day, my wife of 39 years died on that patio no more than four feet from where I stood when I saw that orb. I don't want to see another one. So to whoever is reading this I want to thank you for your time.

The blinking lights had no rythem and were blinking sparatically. It was close enough to me that it light up the entire ground and trees around me. If not for that I would never have known it was behind me. I killed the snowmobile and the object made absolutely no noise whatsoever. It hovered silently slowly moving up and down and they drifted far to the right and slowly went away from me. I tried chasing it through the woods, until it flew in a different direction that the trail went, so I lost sight of it. But before I chased it, I called my wife to tell her what I was experiencing, only to be surprised when she started yelling at me, wanting to know where the hell I was, because I thought I left my parents 10 minutes ago, and she said it had been over 2 hours. We attempted to reach by telephone the source of the report, and are awaiting a call back. PD

Driving home from work on the 91 West, very overcast and dark night - (we had a lot of rain that week) left work at 21:30, reached about past McKinley St, heading towards the 15 South interchange. About 3 mins before interchange, I see two bright lights (rt and left) headed coming in towards me on the freeway, as if it is going to land on the freeway! I notice the lights are kind of low for an airplane, and I know helicopters and aircraft (spent 23 years in the military.) I was wondering why the plane was so low (it was going to be really low on the ramp I was approaching above me (that goes North South) (some street, not a freeway), and it goes lower and I am thinking it will hit the edge of the above ramp! Then I see that this thing is going to go over my car, it is going Easterly above the freeway, then it goes over my car (turning towards the mountains where the rock quarry is on Temescal Canyon street and Cajalco. As it goes over my car, I feel a pressure change in the air. Silent-still. I strained to see what it was as I was driving, but the clouds sort of hid it, but I could make out a massive heavy black thing (almost blending in with the sky - but you could feel it there. It went back towards the mountain. As it flew over the car (it was going East South while I was still going West), those two lights I had seen were now off. I could not figure out how this plane (I thought) could disappear like that. When I got home, I told the person I live with about it. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate.

Well, on 2-28-17, at around 7:45, in the North Phoenix sky 2 orange objects appeared. Looked almost like a fire in the sky. The first object appeared then traveled SE in direction. Folliwed by a secind that just appeared from nowhere. At one point they stopped and just stayed there illuminating the sky. However these objects had no blinking lights like aircraft do. Also just to ket you know there was plenty of planes that were in the area. Around the Deer Valley Airport to be specific. Now I know other aircraft spotted these objects and I know for certain the tower had recieved radio contact from many of the planes. In regards to what was in the sky they were seeing? Clear as the night sky these objects vanished. But not because they had gotton further away. Vanished like looking at them very clear in the sky. To dimming out and disappearing completely.

Every night around 6:30 looking at the west sky, I see a super bight light, it's not a star or a planet, appears a lot closer, funny thing is, it moves downward in a NW pattern until it disappears behind the horizon. This has been going on for at least three weeks now. It changes shape and outside of object has at times hues of color green or blue, sometimes with a red tip on top. I do have video of object in sky.

A bright green light lit up the sky and made no noise. All the power went out and came back on again within 30 seconds. Everything checks out with breakers, generators, and gas meters. All the power lines are beneath us so it having something to do with that doesn't make any sense. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

In the western sky we saw a bright white light with a bit of a red glow around it grow intensely bright, then fade entirely away. The light then started to grow bright again, stayed bright, then disappeared entirely and did not reappear.

Fountain, CO
I left my home to retrieve some chewing tobacco from my truck parked in the street in front of my house. I looked west towards Fort Carson and noticed a very bright light in the sky that I have never seen before. At first I though it was a helicopter due to its location over an Army installation. I ruled that notion out due to the lack of blinking lights and the lack of noise. The craft was perfectly still (didn't weave or bob like a hovering helicopter). My second thought was that it might be a commercial airplane due to an airport being nearby my location. But again the lack of lights, noise, and movement ruled that out for me. In a stroke of luck an airplane happened to be flying at lower altitude in the same direction and provided an outstanding visual reference. I went back into my house to retrieve my roommate to ensure I wasn't seeing things. He confirmed that he too saw something strange. The object to appeared to be in the shape of a cross. The cro! ss appeared to have been in the shape of two intersecting ovals instead of two linear components. The horizontal part appeared to have been red in color. The vertical part was two colors. The middle was yellow and each end was green in color. It didn't move for a very long time and our bare feet were getting cold from the concrete path. We went back in the house for approximately an hour. When I went back outside for another look, it was gone, like it was never there. I have served in the military and have seen different aircraft from all over the world and have never seen anything like that. It compelled me to report it.

Folsom, CA
I was driving east bound Highway 50 just before sunset, to my 10'oclock I noticed an orange light about 30 deg above horizon. It seemed odd to me due to the color of the light being orange. I noticed that there was a dark spherical object that the light was on. I thought it may have been a helicopter or plane since it was near the flight path for Mather Field. There were no FAA lights on the object. As the object came closer I kept looking to see if it was a helicopter, but still looked spherical as it passed over me. It seemed to be flying in the direction of Mather Field from the area of the Intel building in Folsom. The lights were orange and I could not see any green, red or strobe lights that would indicate FAA regulated lights. I saw no wings or propellers. The object stayed spherical in shape. Please feel free to contact me if needed.

I was sitting in the grass in middle of the quad at the University of Alabama at about 1:30AM, enjoying the peacefulness. A young man approached me and asked if I saw the object quickly circling above us in the sky. After a a minute, I spotted a slightly translucent shape against the dark sky. I could not determine the color, though the other witness said it was green. It moved in a circular pattern at high speed. As far as we could tell, its height above the ground was slightly higher or equal to the height of Denny Chimes Tower, 115 feet. After a few minutes, as I trained my eyes to follow the shape as it moved, I thought that it was bobbing up and down a little as it moved, much in the same way as a bird flaps its wings. The other witness talked about recent social media reports at the Quad about sightings of Mothman, but I have not seen these reports. I speculated whether it was search lights to warn aircraft of their low altitudes, or water from the sprinklers refracting off the street lights in the clouds. After several sprinklers turned off, the object was still there circling. The other witness approached 2 girls to ask if they saw it, and they did. We also asked a man passing by if he saw the object, bringing witness count to 5. He watched the rotations of the light as it circled, to figure out its speed and concluded it must a strobe light of some kind. When this 5th witness left, we lost sight of the circling object.

Seen a color changing, light fading ball and then transformed into a cigar then back to a ball. it was hovering above the area of st.mary's hospital. My girlfriend was the first to witness the ufo thinking it was a star. Until we started seeing it move in every direction. There's no way a plane wouldve stayed in our sight that long. There's no way a helicopter would have hovered that long or probably be allowed to over the hospital air space. It was not a drone because it had very bright color changing lights. It was not ball lightning because at most that lasts less than 30 seconds, and this went on for 45 minutes. At some points, we thought we seen some lights fly off of it. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

3 round objects that were a glowing orange color that pulsated. No position lights as on civilian or military aircraft. Very low, thick cloud layer at approximately 1000 feet above ground level. Objects moved slowly and methodically. Was about 1/2 mile away. approaching my position from the southwest. 1 broke from the loose formation and headed south and then rose into the low cloud layer. The other 2 were in a staggered right formation. Lead object stopped and seemed to wait for the other to catch up and when it did they both went straight up in the cloud layer.

My friend and I were driving when we saw this circle object floating in the sky, it wasn't moving at all, when we passed under the object, we could perfectly see that it was a circle UFO with a lot of lights and no sounds.

My husband and I were watching the stars out our bedroom balcony, when a set of strange lights appeared in the distant clear night sky to our west, over Lake Michigan. The lights appeared quickly, but were too far away to detect the object's shape. It at times moved slowly up and down, and to one side almost at an angle before returning to its original location. It would disappear and reappear at least 7 times over the next 20 minutes, always in the same area. The lights eventually disappeared completely behind the tree line, and we debated back and forth over possible explanations for what we just witnessed. This object was unlike anything my husband had seen before, but eerily reminded my of a similar unreported event I witnessed alone more than 20 years ago. We are very curious as to whether we are alone in this sighting or if others witnessed the same. Our background: Both of us are in our early 40's, and are long-time business professionals and nature/wilderness enthusiasts. We moved from Southeast Michigan to western Michigan in June of 2016 and recently finished building our dream home on a small inland lake. We are not extremely religious individuals, nor are we convinced that Aliens exist or visit our planet. We're skeptical of many and trust only a few, and live our lives according to the "Golden Rule." Hopefully you can offer some insight to what we saw tonight.

I was driving when I saw bright light in the sky. My friend and I thought it was a star. The light was getting bigger and bigger when we realized we were getting closer to this object which it wasn't moving. We were still thinking that could be a helicopter but when we were under this object we started to scream because it was something oval and huge. I was trying to find a place to park the car and when I finally could this object flew away. When we looked it was in a diagonal position and than it was gone. We still run to try to follow it but there were so many airplanes on the sky that we couldn't recorganize the object anymore.
