Walpole, MA
I was taking out the trash when I noticed a bright yellow/white circular object hovering above my neighbors’s house. It appeared to be about the size of a softball and no bigger than a basketball. As soon as I looked at it, it moved in a straight line at a high rate of speed, and then vanished after traveling roughly 100 feet. While moving, the object looked like a shooting star, but was only about 60 feet above the ground. It made no noise.

Bylas, AZ
My husband and I were driving through the desert on our way home from Flagstaff and I looked up and saw probably six fireball-type lights in the sky and I pointed at them and asked my husband if he could see those, too. He said they were definitely there, I wasn’t just imagining things. They were circular, in a mostly straight line, but a couple of them were a little higher than the other ones. Once one disappeared, another would appear on the other side. We saw it for a few seconds, and it disappeared. One light went out, then the next, and so on until it was all out, but that happened within like a second. It went out as soon as I told my husband to grab his phone and take a video, as if it could hear us, or see us. So, since it disappeared, we forgot about the phone for a moment and talked about what we just saw and it came up again, doing the same thing, only a shorter amount of time that time.

Rockland, ME
I live in Rockland Maine. I have been seeing lights above my house at night. A lot of the time I think it could be a star. BUT they seem to have 3 lights not one and will move around..up and down. Over and back. Sometimes moving across sky fast and other times seem to disappear. I have only lived in this house in Rockland for less then a year. Since the beginning of the summer this has happened quite a few times. Tonight I saw 2 Bigger ones then I have in the past couple months. They had 3 Rows of lights..red n yellow or white.. Directly above me and it seemed to drop down and move til gone....the second larger one with 3 rows of lights followed almost Exact SAME PATH. One right after the other. Then behind that 2 more smaller lights. I did not see where in the sky it started from but there was a strange trail of lights near the moon...heading close to where it looked to be coming from. My boyfriend was outside with me. He has also seen these other lights on occasion and these tonight. We have an 8 year old daughter. Have been together for 15 years. We are both in our mid 30s. I have never noticed anything like these lights before. and as people have harsh opinions and are very skeptical I have not yet reported these. Been doing a little research, as well. I, however, continue to see them....and tonight the 2 were larger then before. Or closer. After the second larger one was no longer over head but had dropped down to be closer to the tree line yet further away I saw flashing lights back towards the moon n another right behind that. Maybe they are planes. I don't think so though. Maybe the second set was... I honestly don't know and am going to continue to watch.

Union City, TN
Let me start by saying I did not see the first craft, only the way a cloud reacted. The second was a flash further south above the clouds moving in the same direction as the first. I was standing in the back door of my home smoking and looking up at the moon. I noticed a small cloud (back lit by the moon) seem to change and it caught my attention. It seemed to swirl for a moment and then strung out toward the north-west. I thought nothing of it at first and brushed it off as strange weather. Looking farther south now, where a storm seemed to be brewing, accompanied by lightning flashes, I saw a strange flash (oblong above the clouds and not in the same area as the lightning.) The flash seemed to move toward the same direction as the first phenomenon. This really got my attention. Suddenly my right hand, the right side of my neck, and my right ear felt hot. This lasted for maybe 10 seconds then faded. After this I felt sick and had to close the door and rush to the bathroom. As soon as I left the back door however the feeling passed. This feeling has never happened to me before but has left me shaken.

Pomerene, AZ
Six strange lights in a “W” formation flashing several variation of colors began to do sporadic movements in the sky. They divided into sets of two, some going north, some going south and some going west. At some point 2 of them shot back towards the east and then joined into one orbit and then simply vanished. Approximately 15 minutes later two very large red orbs appeared flashing simultaneously. They were several miles apart but clearly at the exact same height and very much in sync! Then disappeared as if to just fade away.

I was walking my dog and noticed what I initially thought was a round, ring-like balloon floating in the sky. But then I noticed that it didn't continue to drift. Instead it moved slowly and in different directions and at one point even paused. It continued to move very slowly and deliberately through the sky, as if observing.

Sitting in my car, noticed a bright blue flash. Lit up the entire sky, was seen by multiple deputies across the county. No recent transformer malfunctions reported.

Our dog became very excited and seemed desperate to go outside so we decided to take him out. He was pulling the leash and seemed to be trying to track something down with intensity. We went around a corner, and a huge bright light became visible in the sky. Once we were paying attention to it he seemed to calm down. This light was far bigger than any star in the sky, and moved smoothly and seemed to meander around as it moved towards the direction of Belt, the movement reminded me more of a life form than an aircraft. It was so bright it was difficult to distinguish a shape, but it may have been diamond shaped or triangular. It eventually disappeared behind some trees and we were unable to find it again as we walked around. We also noticed a few other lights moving in a similar fashion, but they were much further up and were much smaller from our observation point. There were also 2 shooting stars while we observed. We are located very close to Malmstrom AFB. I watched one of the smaller ones from our back yard for another 2 minutes after we returned, and it eventually just disappeared. The entire experience was maybe as long as 30 minutes over all but we only saw the very bright light for around 3-5 minutes.

Marion, OH
I was trying to take a photo for the moon and stars. It was falling straight down. As I was taking the photos I thought I was photographing a falling star. After processing the photos I realized it was not a falling star but an object that had lights on both sides and a small light on the back. I only seen the object for approx. 2 mins before it was gone.

Was standing by a fire in my backyard when I noticed a star that was not only 20 times brighter than every other star, but also appear elongated like it was 2 stars next to each other. At times, I even noticed it split into multiple orbs. 3 of stood there in awe and watched it for 45 minutes to an hour as it moved side to side and forward and backward changing in brightness drastically. It's color at times appeared to be all colors, like how light can diffract into a rainbow through water. It gave us all chills as it appear to be watching us for a bit. I got a video in which side to side movement is hard to tell because of my shaky hands, but it is clear that it went from an invisible distance and came close and bright and then back to invisible distance. The movement was highly irregular which rules out any rocket based aircraft. It had an aura around it that glowed, as it had constant light emission that was very bright. After my friends went home (it was m! idnight at this point), I stayed outside and watched until after 1am and it kept leaving and coming back every few minutes the entire time. Have never felt the way this object made me feel. I even called a couple friends and multiple times I shut off my phone because I began to clearly hear interference with the call. Overall, unable to explain this activity with any modern science. Needless to say, I was, and am, SHOOK. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Huntsville, AL
In the sky over Huntsville or Redstone Arsenal, I noticed 2 bright yellowish lights and one blinking red light and did not hear any airplane or helicopter noise. The yellowish lights appeared to be moving slowly, very close but in different directions. After about 30 seconds they disappeared (not simultaneously, but separately). It might have been some kind of a firework trail the way they faded from view, but it took a full 30 seconds for them to disappear and neither light moved downward. After they were gone, I watched the blinking red light move toward the southwest over Redstone Arsenal toward the Huntsville Airport for an additional 30 seconds until it was obstructed from my view by a large tree. I continued watching for 10 minutes but never saw the bright yellowish lights or the red blinking light again. If I were to guess, I would suspect either some satellite-related event or two helicopters that turned on and off their lights too far away for me to hear them. I suspect the red blinking light was a satellight

Harriman, TN
Was on back porch trying to get a look at Saturn. Flashing white light came across sky from basically East to West. Did not discern anything other than the light but the light was 5-6 times bigger than the surrounding stars. It was flashing at roughly 1 flash per second. Appeared to be low in sky and was in view for approximately 5-6 seconds. Thought at the time it was a satellite but checked one of the websites and there were no satellites scheduled to fly over. No idea what it was but it was moving fast and silently. Wife was on the porch with me but looking thru binoculars and did not see object. Was not a lightning bug as I could clearly see the white color, lightning bugs are yellow. Not saying extra-terrestrial, just something I never saw before.

Durango, CO
My sighting was on 7-8-2019 at around 10:00 PM on a clear night over United Campground in Durango Colorado, My wife saw this with me, moving from East toward West was a round large glowing object. It had no defined outer perimeter and was as large as if you held a dime coin about 15 foot from you.. It moved across the sky in about 15 seconds at what appeared to be maybe 10,000 ft altitude and there was no sound. Shortly after that an airplane was following it but was not as fast. Then to our amazement a very bright green steady light came across the sky on the same path but faster, That was not the final sighting, Then a bright Blue light came across the sky on the same course. None of these lights had any blinking marker lights except for the chasing airplane, We watch the sky most nights looking at satellites etc, None of this was normal. I am a retired manufacturing Engineer with past connections to NASA. My wife is a working Professional Event Planner. We were on vacation from Austin, Texas.

I was sitting outside on my porch, stargazing as usual. I noticed a flying craft flying pretty low yet it didn’t make any noise. Nor did it have the blinking colored lights like an airplane. The craft flew in circles around the area for at least 30 minutes appearing in sight every 5 minutes.

Our RingPro taped 3 very white lights all in a row come dashing in and moving around quickly going from in focus and then shifting quickly out of focus, which then made the lights stretch and then take off into the sky then to dash out of sight. We have video.

I was outside when I seen 8 to 10 orange circular objects in the sky. They were all lit up a few went dark they were again seeable. They were in a strange group they began to move further easy in the sky and then they kind of his disappeared. There was a guy whom came out of the gas station and ask what I was looking at and ask of I seen what we believed to be ufos.

After a couple minutes, it started rotating around together. The lights appeared about 60 feet in the air and were over the Atlantic Ocean.

I can best describe the object I saw as an orange fireball. I was standing in my backyard when I noticed it moving across the north west portion of the sky, in the direction of Mt. Charleston. My home is a considerable distance from Mt. Charleston, so I assume it would have been a significantly large object for it to be seen from several miles away. It did not change direction or appear to speed up or slow down and made a consistent line across the sky. Even though it was roughly 8pm, there was still a decent amount of daylight; the sun hadn’t completely set. I observed the object for approximately 5 minutes before it was obscured first by neighboring buildings and then finally by the mountain itself.

Me and my wife were heading back from a wake and we saw a floating object to the side of 72 between Randall and sleepy hollow rd. It was black in color and just hovering. We slowed down to get a closer look at it and it looked like we could see a humaniod being inside. Couldn't make out details other than 2 arms and 2 legs. It was a single passenger aircraft. No wings. just hovering to the side of the road about 75 to 100 feet up. No noise. May have been a human but there is no known technology that can hover like that with an egg shape. Also oddly enough we kept driving so it never disappeared.. we left it. The more we talked about it the more we both realize that what we saw wasn't normal and couldn't have been a drone unless they have one where the person could fly. Wasn't a paraglider since it floated stationary. Odd all together. A egg shaped craft with a clear or open front with som being visible. Over a clearing to the right of the road across from tr! ees on the other side. No houses visable.im assuming someone else had to see it, given the time of the sighting the mostly busy road. To my best recollection however we were the only visible car ahead and behind us. Got no picture..very unfortunately...
