Virginia Beach, VA
The tail was quite long, as well, and I could actually see fire trailing the object. Again, it appeared to be very close to earth, flames were visible, and in the 5-7 seconds that the object was visible, I thought to myself, “This one is going to hit”. The fire trail turned into more of a black smoke trail as it descended behind some trees and a building and out of sight. I waited a second or two for a sound or vibration indicative of a crash landing, but thankfully, none came.

It was what appeared to be a US military Jet flying along side a supremely bright light, color was unlike anything I have seen. After flying through a cloud the military aircraft kept flying and the second craft (light) was simply gone, as if it vanished. The jet was at full thrust as its engine was glowing and based upon a the size of the jet they were at a decent altitude moving at speeds I can not describe. Crossing nearly the full sky in a matter of seconds. I was driving so no photos or videos were taken.

Crumpton, MD
Maybe 20 miles away? Fell rather slowly, not like a meteor. I'm certain it hit the ground. It was huge. It was fully engulfed in flames.

Southington, CT
Was traveling on Route 84 west, between exits 31 and 30, at 6:30am, when in front of me, off in the distance some three miles away one triangular shaped object (with three points aiming up) was descending rapidly straight down. It was bright white/silver thinking the sun was reflecting off of it. As it disappeared I expected a large sound thinking it was going to crash and explode. As I was driving on Route 84 towards where I figured it crashed. Kept looking for any orange glow and/or smoke but nothing. Tried to rationalize by thinking it was a satellite or other space debris. Nothing on the news.

It was that close, at least it appeared to be. I saw a fiery tail, traveling from east to west. It had a very gradual arc, as soon as it looked like it was going to hit and blow up, it fizzled out. I have never seen one this low in the sky!!!!! The tail wasn't that long either like you normally see on a meteor. Who knows, maybe it was something else.

Piedmont, SC
As we drive down the highway, we see anywhere from 1-10 items flying up, left, right and disappearing and repearing. Although it could have been a plane, we watched to make sure it wasn’t and the entire time we stayed and watch we could not make it out as any planes. The direction is was flying wasn’t consistent with normal flying planes, they would fly towards one another glow and disappear and again repeat throughout us witnessing.

Kiln, MS
Saw a silver oval sitting still in the sky above the trees. Not moving not falling just still. Thought it may have been a reflection at first, couldn’t make sense of it. Wasn’t falling wasn’t moving just sitting perfectly still in the sky. Dull silver, no sound just sitting. Was driving back with my family in the van. All of us saw it headed north bound. Stopped to try to get a photo but it was gone. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Cambridge City, IN
My wife and myself were driving E on US 40 just passing downtown Cambridge City when we noticed a large triangular (?) shape craft flying very low in airspace that doesn't make sense. What I mean is, it at first resembled a commercial airplane considering the size and formation of lights, but it was flying at a height just barely above the trees/power lines and housetops, flying N/NW. There were 2 white lights where wings of a jet or plane might be, and one red light at the tail that was flashing (hence, forming a triangle). I know this sounds like a commercial airplane, but there's no way that this "plane" would have been flying so low and without sound to boot. After noticing these anomalies, we began to chase after it, heading N on Graham Street and E on Delaware to jog over to SR-1 N. As we headed N on SR-1 and could still see the object for a few minutes, this time flying NE/N, until it was gone above the industrial park just south of the! SR-1/I-70 Interchange. Looking back on the event, and even though this sighting happened after dark, my wife believes that the object looked, most-likely, that it was in fact 1 or 2 separate objects (accounting for both of the white lights) with the red-lit flashing object in tow. I couldn't necessarily say that I saw anything between the lights, and she's not saying that she could either, but that made more sense to her senses and what she was actually seeing than it being 1 solid craft. Again, this is a densely-populated area that would not have seen a commercial-sized aircraft this low EVER - but that was precisely the size of it. Finally, the lights, while appearing not dissimilar in color and size to that of a plane, had an odd, square-shapedness about them. I have only seen 2 objects in my life that have made me scratch my head and I look up a lot. It should be noted that my previous sighting (which I did report to NUFORC with the date of 8/15/02) overlapped with this sighting at the location of Graham St./Delaware St. Meaning th at the object we witnessed last night passed over nearly the EXACT airspace of my only other previous sighting of a shiny spherical UFO.

Maricopa, AZ
Late in the evening, my wife and I were driving south on AZ State Route 347 (between Chandler and Maricopa) when I spotted two bright orange lights to the southwest. This stretch of freeway is sparsely populated and pretty dark at night, so they shone incredibly brightly. They also seemed to be not more than a couple hundred feet or so above the horizon, so initially I thought maybe it could have been lights from a tower of some kind, but I've never noticed them before in all my time driving that stretch of road. I asked my wife if she saw them; to which she commented that she thought it was strange that they were so orange. I then asked her to Google if there were any kind of air fields or radio towers in that area. Her quick search determined there shouldn't be anything in that direction. She went back to looking at her phone, but even though I was driving, my eyes were fixated on them. If you drew a straight line between them, they would seem to be perfec! tly parallel to the ground, and they didn't move at all, at least they didn't seem to from my perspective. They didn't blink, they didn't pulse, they didn't move, they were just there, and bright. It was like they were staring at me. I just stared right back at them for several minutes while I drove. Then, seemingly for no reason, the one on the left faded away, and almost immediately after, the light on the right also faded. They didn't blink out, they didn't disappear behind something, more like a dimmer switch, they faded and were gone.

Memphis, TN
I was taking my dog outside earlier, when I saw around 5-6 lights in a horizontal line, the object looked like it would be a stereotypical ufo. I didn't have my glasses on so I couldn't see it well, but the object appeared to be in an audible distance from where I was, yet there was no sound from it. The craft was rather large, I would probably say around the size of a house. The craft moved in a fixed speed moving slowly right to left. When I ran I side to get my glasses, which probably took around 20-30 seconds, and returned the the object was gone. Afterwards I noticed that my wifi connection wasn't working properly. I've seen another UFO before, that was similar to this, but I was in s different state st that time. I didn't have my phone on me when I took my dog out, so i wasn't able to get a picture or video.

Bellevue, NE
I was driving to my home from school. I thought I seen a shooting star it was moving so fast. It blazed across the sky and got closer and closer. Next thing I know it was a couple hundred feet away from me. It appeared invisible but I could see a very very thin outline and on each corner of the rectangle there was a bright white light on each corner and in the front(?) Of the craft there was 2 smaller yellow lights closer to eachother. The craft appeared to be cloaked or just happened to be the same exact color as the dark blue dusk sky. It made a quiet noise once it was hovering over the field right by my car. The noise is best described as similar to an airplane but much much quieter. This happened to be about a mile from the air force base. So, could have been something from there.

The lights did not stay on; they would fade on and off. Sometimes one would appear and disappear a few times before the other would appear again, other times they would alternate, and other times they would both stay on for a couple seconds simultaneously. The lights never moved and would reappear exactly where they had disappeared. This is what I found most unusual; a normal aircraft wouldn't stay in the exact same spot without falling out of the sky. I watched for about 8 minutes, but then left, although the event was still ongoing.

Add to previous report. My husband ((husband's name deleted)) noticed two orange beans in the sky just over the midland memorial hospital. Then about 20 min later, he called me back outside and there were about nine in the direction of the walmart and three more between the two previous lights. One after another they would pulse getting really bright then dim. Then slowly one after another they disappeared. Each light was was 2 to three inches long high in the sky.
