I really don't know that i believe in UFOs but I have not found an explanation of what i saw. i live in the country. It's pretty flat around my house. I had taken the dogs out. and noticed some strange lights to the south several miles away and pretty high in sky (maybe 45 degree angle from ground). there was large cloud cover on the lower part of the horizon, but just above the clouds is where i saw the strange orangish lights. Actually, i was wondering if something on a plane was on fire because of the orange color and looked like orange sparks erupting too....kinda like a few cheap dud fireworks (but too high up for fireworks & sparks stayed just around the source....but then as i watched ...maybe 5 min max.... there seemed to be several orange sources that darted up and down and would disappear momentarily down in the clouds but then popped back out. when i first saw the lights they were to the south east of our house, but they moved on west and then disappeared into the cloud cover. the lights didn't go in a straight line like planes and helicopters or meteors/shooting stars do in the night sky. the lights darted all around moving from east to west up and down and in and out of the line of cloud cover...like fire spots in the sky with sparks. I really couldn't make out any shape. they finally disappeared and i went back inside. I searched for others who maybe saw the lights to explain it away as it was very noticable from my view....but haven't been able to find anyone seeing what i saw... i can only think i was at a good vantage point and could see about the line of clouds on the south horizon?? i'd really love to have someone know what i was seeing. I did get a couple very short videos and photo with my iphone7.

A light would appear, following by one or more lights slightly in front of it which sometimes looked like fireworks or some kind of explosion, and the first light would disappear. There were two sets of these. This continued across the sky for at least 2 minutes before disappearing completely. There was no noise from it.

Knoxville, IL
On the evening of April 16, 2019, at approximately 9:30pm CST, I was driving my van south on Knox Station Rd in rural Knoxville, IL, when I noticed what I originally thought were fireworks in the sky. These lights appeared to be very high in the sky, possibly ½ mile in altitude. I asked my husband his opinion of what they were. Both of my children, 15 and 11 were also in the vehicle. We pulled over on the side of the road, where both of my children exited the vehicle to begin recording the strange phenomenon. My husband also began recording the lights in the sky from inside the vehicle. There were two large orange lights that would leap in equal intervals from one and other. Each would leave a tail of smaller orange dots and then disappear for approximately ½ of a second before reappearing and leaping west again. The lights would make a rapid movement and then stop. At one point both of the larger lights collided and went dark. Again within a split second the! lights reappeared with the tails of smaller lights and began moving westward again. As we proceeded South on Knox Station Road, the lights never appeared to become closer. They were very bright and were very apparent in the night sky even with a cell phone tower below them and a ¾ moon. At approximately 9:38 pm CST, the lights vanished from the sky.

Titusville, FL
Driving north on I-95 first UFO appeared to be a plane that wasn’t moving until it was closer in view. Triangular, lights of multiple colors flashing. A second appeared within 5 minutes. Someone else noticed this one and had pulled over to watch it. Similar to the first but different pattern of flashing lights. About ten minutes later, two in close proximity to one another appeared, and then one stayed put and the other zoomed across the sky. The one that stayed still didn’t have multi- colored lights — only white. The other had lights that changed color. Eventually the one that zoomed away zig zagged back nearer our car and kept changing elevation and light flashing patterns. It zoomed off again and that was it. The whole thing lasted about half an hour between Titusville and New Smyrna Beach exits on 95. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Oley, PA
Witnessed five craft with red lights on bottom hovering in formation of a "V" on its side. The formation changed direction in sync, up, left, down when suddenly two disappeared. The remaining three scattered and disappeared. It was around 9PM, no sound coming from the crafts.

Kingwood, TX
Kingwood, Texas, April 16, 2019. Around 8:30 pm I was walking my dog when I saw three bight orange/red fireballs flying in a triangle. two more followed but separately. I live 10 miles from a major airport. I see and hear planes all the time. This was no plane. I heard nothing. They did this twice. Unfortunately. I didn’t have my phone with me to film it. This was my first time to ever see anything like this, I hope I do again.

April 16th 2019. About 8 PM before sunset. My Girlfriend and I saw an object traveling west off to the left of the sun, at about the Ten O'clock position. It was bright yellow ball with two streams of white smoke coming off the sides like wings. Flying in a straight line. This lasted about 5 mins. until it went over the tree tops past the horizon. It looked like it was either was going to hit the earth or flying the curvature of the earth. I thought it was an Asteroid. I have never seen anything like it.

Sarasota, FL
It was located near the moon, but not too close to it. Every now and again, it would raise up, and nobody could see it. After about 30 seconds, it would lower back down, and become more visible. As we were driving, a car was on the side of the road, he had no flat tires, not out of fuel, the hood was up and the engine was fine. It had just stopped working, abd from the looks of it, due to magnetic/electric effects from the object. I didn't think it looked like a satellite, however, it may be.

I was at ny parents' house, sitting on the porch swing out in the county (country-side), talking on the phone, when an object that looked like the sun (yellow) came into my view, traveling at an average jet-airplane speed, coming from the SW and heading NE.

Fort Myers, FL
At first, I thought that is a very slow moving plane (airport near to the East), but then it stopped moving and had a slight dip or wobble reflecting sun off a rim. I thought, helicopter, ultralight or balloon? But it stopped and was motionless. I pulled my phone out to zoom and take a photo but the object disappeared? I searched the clear blue sky but couldn't find it. About 20 minutes later, there was a high flying jet contrails above this location. I wished I was faster to get a photo.

Leeds, UT
I was traveling north on I-15 around 10pm when I saw what looked like a shooting star falling straight down from the sky, but it was brighter and had no tail. Then the circular light stopped suddenly right above the mountains north of Toquerville. It hovered for about a minute then started flashing red and blue lights as it got dimmer. I could see it was in front and lower the mountain ridge. As I got closer I lost sight because of some trees. When I did see it again it was moving a rapid pace flying north toward Cedar City. I observed it for a total of about ten minutes and finally lost sight because of the hills. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

While out in our hot tub, my wife and I were stargazing, when we saw a Chevron-shaped craft with dim lights on the bottom of the wings 4 on each side and 2 at the front of Chevron. It was moving from west to east and was completely silent and was visible for 5-7 seconds and then disappeared into the night. I reported the same sighting on this website in early November of 2015 also. The craft was for real! We scanned the sky for the next 15 minutes and also saw another Chevron shaped object that was white heading south to north and this one did not have any lights on the bottom of the wings.

Have witnessed several times, on clear starry nights; a star that moves at times in straight lines across the sky - and at other times in random circular patterns. Visible to the naked eye, looks like a star. Have observed with binoculars as well. Using the binoculars appears as though there are two stars (one larger - one smaller) , and upon closer inspection they at times circle each other. When they are moving across the sky, one of the star appears to pull the other. When the star moves in random circular patterns, the white dots circle each other.

My friend and I were sitting outside, when suddenly a shadow blocked the sun for a second, which alerted us to look to the sky. When we looked up, we saw a white, boxy object zooming through the sky. It was extremely high, moving extremely fast (we physically had to turn our heads to keep up with it), and flying out of sight within a few seconds. There was no noise accompanying it whatsoever. There were also no trails behind the object. I am someone who is skeptical of sightings but this has convinced me. There could be no other explanation. Far too high up to be a bird or plane, and it was flying faster than any plane i’ve ever seen. My friend is more of a skeptic than I am, but she also agrees what we saw has no other logical explanation. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

12.11.2020 Subject: Odd object found on Google Earth Street view. To Whom It May Concern: I am sending this information on to you so you can have a look see to come up with your own conclusion. I’m not saying it is a UFO. I am just saying it doesn’t look like a bird, plane or balloon etc. Below is a bullet point list of how to view on Google Earth and other notes or observations I may have. I hope you find it interesting. • If in Google Earth (GE), type in this address to fly you there. It is not my address or anyone I know. It is just what GE lists as a location when in street view. 1615 E. Cielo Grande Ave Phoenix, AZ • Or if in GE, these are their GPS coordinates to get you to the same area: 33 degrees 41’42.56” & 112 degrees 02’51.63” • As you can see, the round ball in the picture with the silvery top and what looks like to be a darkened shadow below. • I realize that in GE Street View, things can become distorted. That is why I am not claiming it is a true UFO. • When GE takes you to this location, click to Street View Icon and try to go down to the very end of the dead end street to get the right view. Reason being, is when I tried going back to this spot later, for some reason GE did not show that view and I had to play around with it to get it back up. Hopefully, you will not have that issue. • When in Street View, for some reason when you click to go back and forth down the street, it sometimes gives you a view that does not show the object. I am not sure if it is a left over picture from a previous Street View series or what. But what I do look for is the bird that is sitting on top of the street lamp post as the indicator. • Deer Valley Airport, which is a smaller airport is to the West. • In testing my idea by going back out the street to find a plane flying in, you can definitely tell that it is a plane coming in to land at the airport. But what I am looking at seems like a round ball which to me is definitely not a plane. Thanks, and hopefully you may have an answer for this. Sincerely, Phoenix Arizona Resident. I will also send an email to the address you list below with the pictures of what I am speaking about.
