Coral Springs, FL
The object was difficult to depict because of the light emanating from the figure. However, it looked like a shooting star but it was overcast and no other stars could be seen. it flashed from left to right for a split second before disappearing but it could not have gone unnoticed by someone already staring into the sky. I have no explanation for it other than an unidentified flying object.

Amelia (suburb of Cincinnati), OH
UFO – Cincinnati ,Ohio Bright red very large orb heading from the west to the east travelling at a high rate of speed came to a dead stop. The orb then turned color from a bright red to a very bright white. It then released a small green orb out of the bottom. The green orb started a slow eastern trajectory then gained speed out of sight. The very bright white ‘mother’ orb still stationary turned back to bright red and traced its original path back west. A few minuets later the bright red orb came back and stopped again and again it turned bright white and another bright green small orb was released from the bottom. The green orb took the same path to the east as the first one and in the same manner. The ‘mother’ again turned back to bright red and took a western trajectory at a high rate of speed and continued out of sight. I stayed outside for about 15 minuets watching the sky but it did not return.

Casper, WY
Along the North Platte River, off of Trappers Route,on a clear night, a very bright glowing lime-green orb appeared in the sky, moving quickly above the river a short distance from where we were. It was followed by 2 smaller bright white lights. The orb briefly stopped, hovered over the river, causing a "glow" reflection off of the water. After we both were able to focus on the green orb and lights, it quickly sped out of sight. We did not hear any sound coming from it and it was approximately 100 yards away, at the most. We were surrounded by sagebrush and river's edge. There were no trees or nearby light sources. No roads or vehicle access near or where the orb appeared.

Norton, MA
Single light like a star moving in a straight slightly zig-zagging line across the sky. No other lights and way to fast for a plane. Seemed to flare a little and change color before fading out. There were three almost one after another traveling north to south and a few minutes later a forth traveling in the opposite direction

Driving back from Wawa on Delsea Dr Vineland NJ at 2:00 am, Me and my husband both witnessed Bright red flaming round ball of light that came out of nowhere it zip past are truck really fast. When we looked back and are rear view mirrors it was gone. It was so close to that truck that it wasn't hard not to see or miss. When two people ask each other at the same time did you see that? Are eye locked and frozen on each other I just think God he can account what we seen was real.

These could have been something like an ICBM, but I struggle with the thought of being able to see the orange glow of an ICBMs rocket booster at such a range. I’ve seen some weird things as a skywatcher, but nothing as inexplicable as this.

Saw possibly 50 lights traveling N to S as far N as I could see, then disappearing right overhead. They all were in a straight line, though random spacing, traveling about plane airspeed. I was fishing, and I had my fishing companion look, and he acknowledged the same.

My husband’s mother called us to go out side. She had witnessed it first. We went out front looking North West we saw about 8 light spheres all lined up in a row. We live right by southwest Florida international airport. These were not planes. They did not blink and weren’t traveling where planes usually do. As they moved the first one disappeared. Then as everyone got to the same spot they also disappeared. They were moving fairly slow south east.

My apartment faces East. I was standing out on my 4th story balcony taking videos of the lightening (we had a severe thunderstorm warning). After a few minutes of recording, I saw from my North East point of view what looked like a huge deep orange fireball moving way faster than an aircraft. It was not blinking. It was flying super fast in a Western direction. I estimate around 800 mph high in the atmosphere--as it was moving much faster than the (normal red, white, and blue) blinking airplanes headed towards the Orlando International Airport. I at first thought it was a meteor in the atmosphere that came too close, or maybe the international space station, or even a lantern someone let off, but realized it wasn't any of those things. This fireball orb also had a faint white glow around the orange on the exterior. It's brightness fluctuated. It kept its path but seemed to slow down and speed up as it went...It then got smaller, darted, and completely disappeared into thin air. About 1-2 minutes later another identical looking fireball darted from the exact same direction and headed in the same direction at the same speed, also before completely vanishing around the same area. Before the 2nd fireball orb vanished, it remained in the same place in the sky. I actually took a video of these first 2 that I will email. The 3rd glowing fireball was much further to my north peaking in and out of the trees (you could tell it was much further away), getting brighter and fainter repetitively until it too, vanished. (this 3rd one was too distant to get on camera but I witnessed it). I have footage of the first 2 glowing orb fireballs on my iPhone. The closer I zoomed in on my iPhone I realized it seemed to be changing shaped and others seemed to be flashing in an out of the sky. I will edit my footage so that you can see those parts in slow-motion. The space launch sight (Cape Canaveral) is more to my South-East and I see the launches. I saw the historical launch today. While the rockets look orange in the dark, they have a super specific trajectory and are far more distant. There were also no other launches today. These fireballs were pretty sizable, much closer, and flying then disappearing. I know what I saw and it was nothing like the rocket launches, didn't look like any of the airplanes, and these glowing orb fireballs looked like nothing I had ever seen before. They only came around as the severe thunderstorm moved away South-West towards downtown Orlando and it had stopped raining at my place. (Tons of lightning)

Stuart, FL
At 8:49pm on Saturday, May 30th in Stuart, FL as I walked my dog near the corner of Cortez Ave and Osceola Street, I saw ten red-orange orbs in the sky. They were in a loose formation and moved/hovered slowly – until they didn’t when they simply seemed to blink out of sight. I saw one of the objects move lower then laterally prior to blinking out of sight. The whole sighting only lasted about 2 minutes. I got a video of 45 seconds of the sighting. The video is blurred at times because my dog kept yanking on my arm. I also have a fairly clear photo of one of the objects.

Was out relaxing on the deck and saw a vertical oval shaped cloud like formation descending in the West horizon. It had a distinct vapor trail behind it as it descended behind the tree line but was not a jet. The sky was clear, no clouds, all blue sky. The formation was a hazy golden elongated oval or cigar shape. It moved silently, and had pretty quick descent. Very unusual looking.

I was taking pictures of the sunset and my neighbor pointed to the sky and said there was something strange in the sky and to take a picture. I saw it and took pictures. It flew steadily, at the same altitude, until it was out of sight.

Cape Canaveral, FL
Today, while watching the recorded launch of the SpaceX Dragon rocket, my wife and I noticed an anomaly that deserves explanation. As the first stage of the rocket returned to earth, at approximately 6:02 (six minutes, two seconds) into the flight, an object traveling at very high speed streaks from center of the picture, and far below the rocket, slightly upward and to the right .. approximately the 2 o'clock position, if you will. Obviously, the camera providing the picture of the return is mounted on the side of the stage one rocket. In the view seen on TV, there are two directional guidance paddles (I have no idea the official name for them) that can be seen further down on the side of the rocket. The object we noticed can be seen slightly to the left of the paddle on the right as it streaks away further to the right. To me, it appears to be far below the rocket, perhaps closer to cloud level. Certainly the area in the ocean designated for the return lan! ding site is a well-known "no flight" area for aircraft. The speed that the object is traveling appears to far exceed that of normal aircraft.

My dad and my uncle where outside eating burgers I had left his house to bring my wife water because we where out.so I came back to my dads house and he and my uncle told me what they saw a cigar shape metallic object in the sky.

To be honest I have never seen nothing like that it look like a flying gas generator,than my uncle wanted to take a look at it and h! e saw it to but not that clear like I did it was already far away and it disappeared. Than I sat down in front of the house and we kept looking at the sky than my brother came and we told him the story and while we was talking I notice something below the moon like a weard baby blue or white color in the blue sky than something shiny appeared something entirely different we are not alone there was activity this day .where my dad lives is near hance bridge rd. Vineland and the activity was in the farm fields. Manetico river is there.who ever its watching something is there.

Came outside. Starting recording at 9:51pm. Saw a white circular object moving fast across the sky. Looked like it was going in a straight line. Did not see any blinking lights. Have eleven seconds video. Thinking it might be from the Launch today, but have no idea. Thank you

Yellow/Orange sphere flew in a wave pattern from west to east and landed near the Willamette National Forest. Where it was flying was accompanied by bright flashes of light that lit up the whole sky like a strobe or lightning, yet the sky was clear of clouds. After it landed, we could see the strobe effect, without regularity in timing. We drove towards it but never found it. We watched the continuous strong flashes for the next few hours, and eventually saw a really bright shooting star going very slow in the sky above it. The flashes continued for hours. We eventually went inside. It resembled a lightning ball or plasma storm.

Oquawka, IL
Observed a single rectangular aircraft traveling from east to west maintaining a altitude of approximately 15,000 ft or less at roughly 200mph. Estimated size to be equivalent to that of a U.S. Navy super carrier with relative shape. Craft had no wings and made no sound. white light bar perpendicular to craft orientation at front and rear with red strobe at center. At one point craft was directly overhead and showed distinct silhouette against clear night sky at this point what appeared to be a satellite passed above craft moving southeast to northeast at extremely high rate of speed. Then passed infront of lit portion of moon showing very clear outline. Duration 3-5 minutes. Checked air traffic maps. No commercial or private aircraft in the area though assumed resource possibly unreliable in any case.

Santa Cruz, CA
This night, I was scanning the sky and ocean over aptos and Santa Cruz with my infrared binoculars. Suddenly a crazy bright light on the horizon startled me. Through my binoculars, it was as big and bright as the setting sun! But this was night time , the sun had set over an hour ago. I watched this bright orange round light that sat on the horizon over the santa cruz side of Monterey Bay for 20 ish minutes. It was still most of that time. Finally it began slowly pulsing in brightness, getting so bright that at one point, it turned my binoculars from regular mode to infrared mode by itself. Then it began to move slowly north. Horizontally, along the horizon. It moved slowly away until it was behind the peninsula that is Capitola, yet I could still watch its progress because bright orange rays of light shining up from behind the land gave away its position as it went. Eventually I couldn't see it anymore. I've been trying to find anyone else who witnessed this. Nothing y! et ... but it was SO bright other people had to have seen it too. I found an article online from Australia a couple years ago that shows the exact same event. That article said that authorities suggested it was just extra fuel burning off at their oil refinery. Obvious bullshit story... we have nothing like that here, either. I took pictures, video, on both cell phone and the binoculars.

Kirtland, OH
A flat black oval shaped object floating west to east. The sky was perfectly clear and light blue just before sunset. It was floating at about level of low flying plane. Looked like it was not a mechanical object or mechanically powered it just floated like a balloon. The only other explanation could be it was some sort of balloon. But it floated directly west to east and there was little to no wind to move it. The shape was similar to the Gimbal sighting and it was approximately 10 feet wide and wobbled once very slightly. It took about a minute to pass directly overhead from west to east. Did not have lights or make any sound, possibly drone but didn’t have mechanical motion like a drone, just floated.
