Danville, KY
In the Western sky, witnessed a falling "orbish" "soft white" white light falling to Earth, lasted maybe ten seconds. In the Western sky. A slight arc could be observed in the downward trajectory. It was very windy and a clear sky with very bright moon in the East. One bright evening star could be observed not more than 30 degrees away.

Yesterday evening, February 9, 2020, around 7:45 pm, a bright orange light caught my peripheral vision, out of the window. I was watching tv, sitting on my bed facing roughly west and window is roughly south to my left. The room I am in is a little uniques in that it’s built on top of my patio, has an exterior only entry and has “no house around it”, ie; I am surrounded by windows. When I first saw this orange glow, that it looked so much like the orange and light of fire, I thought I might be looking at a paper lantern. I followed it as it went in a generally northwest direction. I saw it through a small window on the east side of this room. I took a picture of it through my window and screen and the orange is visible in this photo. Less so in the others and 3 second video. I raced outside, naked mind you and with my phone and it’s still proceeding in same nw direction and then I see another coming along after. This continued for a total of 5 maybe more. Each one a very vivid orange, no visible fuselage, wings, red, green, white or strobing lights, and as bright as fire. But no flames. Also no engine noise. I took 2 other photos, one of which the shape of one is like a perfect capsule, but in the vertical. It is my intention to get the Center the 3 photos and 3 second video (!) but I lack technical expertise and it may take a bit! I thank you for speaking with me and for accepting this report. I sure would love to learn what it was I saw.

Northfield, ME
We were driving home from Bangor Monday evening (Feb. 9, 2020) and saw a large, round, bright white orb in the sky between Northfield and Marshfield. We were traveling south on Highway 192 on our way home to Machias, just talking, and the orb appeared in the sky to the east of the road. It was moving at a high rate of speed in a direction that looked like it might be heading for the bay, or maybe even Hadley Lake. When it got below treeline we lost sight of it. We’ve been watching the paper today to see if there was any mention of it, but there’s been nothing. We have both seen plenty of meteors and shooting stars while living in Colorado prior to moving to Maine, and this was nothing like it. No tail, no elongation, no color differentiation. Just pure, glowing white and round like a giant luminous ball. There wasn't enough time to pull over to try to take an image. This struck us as significant because of another recent sighting in Maine while approaching B! angor International Airport on a United Airlines flight from Newark to Bangor on Dec. 10, during which I saw numerous orbs in the sky as we dropped in for landing (my husband was not with me on this flight). Those orbs seemed to be orange-ish in color and were stationary. Again, there was no mention of anything in the news. I attempted to take a photograph with my phone, but it didn't come out. Those orbs were less clearly defined and seemed to be hazy or blurry around the edges.

Dunellon, FL
White sphere moving from northwest to south east, no noise or any other lights indicating it was an aircraft. The sight happened from a driveway and was filmed with a cellphone. Later a helicopter flying on the same direction. Two witnesses, me included.
February 9, 2020 · 6:15 PM · FIREBALL
Cromwell, KY
It was as fireball along with a tail of fire falling across the sky with a downward angle from West to East lasting perhaps 2-3 seconds and It seemed to fall toward the ground then it disappeared.
February 9, 2020 · 6:00 PM · DIAMOND
Laurel, MD
There's no stars in the sky. Its dusk. I'm really convinced it's a UFO. it looks like a disk or a saucer but also diamond shaped and lit up along the outside of the craft and blinking, the inside is dark. Appears to move east to west, barely noticeable or rotates in place. We'll see if it's back tomorrow.

Sarasota, FL
Glowing ball of light over West/Southwest sky. Did not move at all. Definitely not Venus.

Rockaway Beach, OR
Coming from south west in what appeared a link or train. 35 or so lights. They appear to have been in our atmosphere so not satellite. But i could be wrong. They traveled in groups to 4 and 5 heading north east.

Montara, CA
Hovering balls of light. Some of them were in close to each other in tandem and others were by themselves. Moving from a Northernly direction down the coast then easterly over the land. I have video footage. The quality is not good but the balls of glowing lights are visible.

McKinleyville, CA
Between 05:20 and 05:35 I was preparing to enter my truck on the way to work. As I was putting on my work vest I looked up and saw the stars which is rare in Humboldt co. I then noticed 4 or 5 bright lights traveling east southeast at a high rate of speed. They were evenly spaced and appeared to very high. There was no sound that I could hear. I then noticed there were more following them. Near a star that in bright in the sky I observed these lights appearing what seemed like out of nowhere. on furthure observation I could see these lights appearing as coming out of a fog with a dim light growing rapidly brighter and coming in evenly spaced times and following one after another. This went on from 30 seconds to a minute then they quit. I have no idea how long this went on before I saw them. I was hoping my crew would show up so he could see them too but he arrived too late.

Roseville, CA
At approximately 5:30 a.m. my phone alarm went off because I forgot to turn it off from the previous day. I did not want to wake up at 5:30 on this morning the morning of Feb 09,2020. After turning my alarm off I went to go back to sleep I'm homeless by the way so I sleep under the stars every night now for about 10 years. So at the present time I am sleeping on the front porch of an insurance building. So I am afforded a fairly good view of the night sky. Well as I am trying to get back to sleep I notice what I thought was a fixed star, start to move in a southerly direction it was pretty high up at least as high as commercial airline traffic would be. Well as I'm watching this object that only I can make out is a single white light, it is joined by up to 10 other similar lights/objects? they were all moving off to the south from the north I lost count of them as the first ones I viewed were going out of my view but more were coming in from the north all in! a single file they all appeared to be equally spaced apart they made no noise or at least I couldn't hear any noises coming from them, there were no other colored lights, only a single white light. These objects were moving at a pretty good clip they were moving in a purposeful and intelligent fashion. I would say that there were at least 12 -15 of these things lights/objects. Because of the time of day 5:30 on a Sunday morning I thought it might be some sort of military maneuvers or something along those lines but if they were military aircraft(helicopters or planes) that many would give off some kind of running or operating noise. It is of important note that the weather conditions for that night were pretty clear not many clouds in the sky that night. My gut feeling told me that what I was observing was "different". I grew up in the military and was use to seeing all kinds of Air Force jets, planes. I never saw anything like that before.

Meredith, NH
I would not have noticed the aircraft except that it turned on a powerful search light which lit up the room and I was able to track its progress through the area. It appeared to be about 8 feet thick and about 15 feet in diameter, dark colored, with no shine. It continued North on Weed road until it went out of sight. My first thought was it's a new secret military scout aircraft and this would be a great place for cold weather testing. But, who knows? With the search light off it would be almost impossible to track visually.

Sacramento, CA
On Saturday night 2/08/2020 at 11:30 pm in the city of Sacramento, CA. while letting my dog out before going to bed, I spotted A flying object displaying three lights. The white lights were in a triangle, blinking at about one second intervals with two lights leading and one trailing. There were no red or green position lights on the craft and no sound. It came in from the northeast of my position made A left turn of about 270 degrees and continued its flight north. From my position in the southern part of Sacramento I could not make out any structural outline but I felt it was around 1500 to 2000 feet above the ground. It made its turn about over the executive airport in Southern Sacramento. I am a aircraft mechanic and am very interested in all makes and models of flying machines and have never seen anything like the display I witnessed on that night and thought it should be reported.

There were two objects at first nearly side by side and a third object trailed them. These objects did not have any noise and were moving rapidly. Just as they were going out of sight two more of the same type object followed the others.

Yucca Valley, CA
This past weekend of the 8th while camping in the Yucca Valley area, my three girlfriends and I were admiring the full moon. One on us wondered if certain three (3) lights in the sky were planets or shooting stars because it seemed like they were “active”. Just then, we saw them shifting, moving, arranging themselves into a triangle up on the sky; then one by one they flashed a light. Flash, flash, flash. Then and almost impressible light kept them connected to one another. Like one of those laser sables from Star Wars. It was there, but you almost couldn’t see it. They were still there, when we walked back to our camp a few minutes later.

Savannah, GA
I was driving and saw these three bright lights appear as fast as it appeared it was falling rapidly. Then before it would have hit or collided with anything it disappears again. It was three white yellowish lights next to each other. Seemingly on a oval like craft. I've never seen anything like this.

Baker city, OR
From about 8:00pm untill around 11:00pm-1:00am, since early April 2019 through last night 2/8/20. Almost every night a very bright orb, that changes size and colors. Travels around the sky over our southwestern mountain range. At times it looks like a big light rotating or spinning in circles like a CD. And other times it glows likes a magnetic sphere, showing a variety of colors. It travels extremely fast, sometimes the size is enormous. Sometimes it gets as small as a basketball. I have multiple photos and videos from many different nights and times of year. It truly is magnificent!

I was driving in the car at 7pm evening it was dark by myself from my Apartment before making right turn I had to stop at "stop" sign. In front there was a park and suddenly I witnessed 4 oval shaped Blue light small objects and they were evenly circulating in oval shape and very close to ground. I took photograph and 4 sec video and left scene. After sometime I came back on same road stopped and took another photo and they were gone.
February 8, 2020 · 5:30 PM · FLASH
New York, NY
I was crossing the Whitestone Bridge during the Super Moon coming into the city. I was staring at the moon as it as a cloud passed in front of it. It was beautiful. Off to the side on my left I saw a very large flash of white light in the distance, which I took to be maybe a helicopter, or light of a plane for some reason. I followed to where I thought the light would be next, say beyond the cloud, or further away or closer to us if it was a flying thing. A few seconds later the clouds had left from in front of the moon, and the light flash appeared again, but in the same exact spot. There was no plane, or building, or cloud, just a flash of white and was very high in the sky or so it appeared from my vantage point. It was very strange. Strange enough for me to write to this site.

Lying in bed at 2:00 am looking out the window I saw a (round) shiny red sphere in the sky flashing by, passing behind the trees. It was a matter of seconds.

West Memphis, AR
I was watching a con trail from a jet overhead. I watched a bronze colored, oval shaped craft fly through the con trail, turn around an come back through it. It left no trail of its own. I reached to get my phone from my daughter to video. When I looked back up I couldn’t locate it.

Huntland, TN
My fiancé and I were driving on Winchester rd. and it was really dark out. This white ball of light flew pass us about as high up as an airplane and was flying way faster than an airplane. It left no trail and than suddenly disappeared. I’ve never seen anything like it. There was an airplane in front of it but it disappeared before it got to it.

I was sitting at Lake Hefner with my sunroof open waiting for the sunrise like I usually do when I noticed a string of lights slowly moving NE just at the edge of the Big Dipper constellation. They disappeared one by one as they went.
