Kihei, HI
I was standing on the beach looking out towards the ocean and saw what looked like a distant plane on fire. Flight speed was steady across the sky from right to left. The second and third fireballs appeared shortly after following the first from behind. Their flight paths were not straight lines and eventually came to a halt. 2 fireballs faded out of sight as if flew directly away from us, and the 3rd got brighter as if flying towards us but then it too faded away. Entire episode lasted about 5 minutes. Witnesses elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Sanford, FL
I live in Sanford, FL, just around the corner of the Sanford airport. Last night, I saw 4 orange/red glowing orbs above my house starting around 10:00pm. The first one I saw while I was driving home. It was hovering over a commercial building. As soon as I stopped my car to see it better, it started moving north. I got back in my car and drove home (about 4 blocks away). I was watching it the whole time. It eventually just vanished in an area that it didn't make sense for it to vanish. As soon as I got home, I had to change the windshield wipers on my car. I was telling my husband about what I just saw because it reminded me of a story our neighbor told us when we lived in Casselberry, FL, last year. She had seen 3 orange lights flying above our house. I had also seen similar lights when I lived in Pompano Beach, FL, about 2 years ago. As soon as I was done telling him what I’d just seen, another orange light came from over the horizon. It flew in the same flight path as the first one I saw. We sat there and watched it the whole time (roughly 5-7 minutes). It flew right over our heads and did not make a sound. It seemed to be the size of a small car about 1,000 feet off the ground. It disappeared right as we heard a jet from the airport taking off. About 20 minutes later, as we were finishing replacing my windshield wipers, another orange light appeared, again in the same flight path as the other 2. We watched that one appear over the horizon, and when it was about halfway through the path the other 2 had taken, yet another one appeared and flew the same path. Right around the same place that the other 2 disappeared, so did these two. It almost seems like they were going into an invisible mothership or something. Because they weren't high enough to be hidden by clouds, and they weren't far enough to fall out of our range of sight. They were a dull orange (similar to metal halide street lights) around the front and sides. The rear had red lights and some type of glowing red “antenna” could be visible form the back. When they were directly above us, you could see a very faint white light alternating flashes from the front and back. A couple hours later, helicopters flew nearby, you could hear them and see their flashing lights distinctly. Whatever the orange/red lights are, they are definitely not planes or helicopters. I've checked the box at the bottom about being contacted by an investigator. These lights seem to be coming up near us for the last 3 years. Coincidentally, that's how long I've known my husband. Last year, after the neighbor told us she saw lights over our street, my husband told me about how he feels like he's been abducted when he was a kid. He showed me a place on his foot that appeared after his apparent abduction (I think he said it was about 20 years ago). Anyway, this spot on his foot looks like a drill hole and has not healed since he got it. I'm wondering if there may be some correlation between his alleged abduction and the fact that it seems like I'm seeing UFOs all the time now. Please contact me by email. Thanks!

Laughlin, NV
Definitely not airplanes. Moved northwest of Laughlin, NV. We were pulling out into the Needles Nighway from Desert Marina Road turning right heading to the Tropicanna when we saw these lights/or glowing orange balls. I didn't get a picture of it but is was very strange. I looked to see if there was any mention of it in paper that would explain what the lights were but I could not find anything. Certainly more people would have seen the lights. Witness elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information.

Zephyrhills, FL
I first noticed 2 orange fireballs that looked like the exhaust of a rocket, but that was all there was, heading south in the sky. I stared at them for about 5 minutes, until they were not visible anymore, then a 3rd one seemed to be following them. They were not airplanes or helicopters and were silent. They were just orange fireballs moving in the sky.

Looked out window and noticed a very bright orange fireball moving slowly northbound. Stopped for a couple seconds, and then proceeded towards me and slowly became larger and brighter. It then shot up rapidly towards space and disappeared. We have amended the date of the sighting above. PD

Albuquerque, NM
14 pulsating fireball UFO'S seen over Albuquerque on Jan 12th 2015. They were spotted at 7:45 pm and were present for about 20 minutes. They came from the south and headed northwesterly. They merged together at certain points, and seemed to just blend away into the night sky opposed to speeding up and flying away. We were able to get video footage, and noticed the distinct sounds of moving water and insects upon viewing, however, we were in Albuquerque proper where neither of those things were present. I believe the sounds were emanating from the ships. I've been witness to quite a few sighting over the years, but never one so blatant. How no one else took notice, i don't know, but they were definitely noticeable, and not of this world. That I know. I'd also like to mention that out of all the sightings I've been witness too, this is the first one where I had no sense of euphoria during or afterwards, was not compelled in anyway, and my phone didn't die or shut off, which is why I was able to obtain footage.

Rancho Cucamonga, CA
I stepped out to my car to grab some items and my attention was instantly drawn to the northern foothills, a solid mass engulfed in flames was drifting in a slow upward ascend. It seemed huge, like the size of a mini van. Judging by the foothills in the background, it had to have been a couple thousand feet climbing to the upper atmosphere, where it gently faded into nothing. We noticed it re- ignited about a mile east, for a minute or so, then it disappeared when commercial aircraft was near its proximity. I still have the chills going through my body from seeing that..

Anderson, CA
I have seen numerous "fireballs" overhead in the past couple of months, but this one was huge. Two of my neighbors also witnessed this one. It was a brilliant white ball which appeared abruptly at about 45 degrees above the horizon just north of west from our location and maintained both its size and luminosity as it descended to the horizon (unlike a meteorite).

Siem Reap (Cambodia), Cambodia
They got bigger and bigger, within 2 minutes they were almost in top of us. They were far up, but we could see the balls glowing and looking they they're burning. At first we thought airplanes were on fire, but it looked too round. So it had to be UFO's. They stayed a little were we were, but after 4 minutes, they started moving again. After two more minutes they were out of sight with incredible speed. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Vero Beach, FL
I was walking my dog at approximately 9:30 p.m. this evening. I was talking to my neighbor on the phone. I was walking east and saw a light in the sky. The light looked orange, but thought maybe it was just a plane and because of the clouds appeared orange. The closer it came, it appeared to be fire. I told my neighbor to hurry and come outside and see what I was seeing. I was scared for a moment, thinking it was a plane on fire about to crash. When it went over us, it appeared to be a ball of flames. I could actually see what appeared to be flames. It was mostly orange, a lighter color of orange. It is hard to determine the shape, but if I had to choose, I would say round. The fireball traveled to the northwest fairly quickly. I would say was traveling faster than I see most small planes travel, and seemed to just disappear. The background was scattered clouds till heading towards the west where it became very cloudy. I also heard no noise whatsoever.

Siem Reap (Cambodia), Cambodia
Last night, I was camping and hanging out with three other friends. We were outside because the sky was so clear and we could see the beautiful stars. One of the stars started growing, and two others also grew a couple of seconds later. My friends and I were curious, so we continued watching for a while. At first we thought that there was a meteor shower, but then they started getting closer and closer. Two minutes after we spotted them, we saw them hovering in the distance for about four minutes. They looked like floating balls of fire. We watched in amazement until they flew away. From the time we first spotted the UFO's until they dissapeared from sight, it had been 8 minutes.

Orlando, FL
Bright orange and yellow fire ball ascending into the sky, over the course of a minute. It then flew away slowly over land until either of the two twenty six year old witnesses were unable to see it in the distance. The object was seen from Alafaya, but was clearly far into the Bithlo area. As it flew it had a faint comet like aura around it.

Phoenix, AZ
Green bright light/fireball close to earth, flying in an east to west direction. We received a telephoned report of what we assume was the same incident, and perhaps from the individual who submitted the written report. The caller reported that the green fireball was in the northern sky, and he implied that it had reached the horizon. Possible meteor. PD

Carlsbad, CA
I was driving southbound on Highway 101 in Carlsbad, CA. at approximately 9:25 pm, the air was clear and I can see the lights off int the distance of Point Loma near San Diego clearly. A red glowing object flew directly over my car. I thought that it was a meteorite because of the brightness and the way that it seemed to blur as it moved across the sky flying directly southbound along highway 101. I was driving at a speed of 50 miles per hour and I assumed that it would burn out seconds after I saw it, but it did not, it continued on, in a straight trajectory, not losing any altitude. The next thought that I had was that it was going as fast as a missile and, living in Oceanside, Ca near Camp Pendleton, it may have come from there. My confusion turned to concern, knowing that it had no other flashing lights like the jets that land at Carlsbad Airport or the commercial jets that fly southbound along the coast over the ocean. The only other aircrafts that fly along the coast above the land are the police helicopters that fly over head at times, but mostly over the water. I continued following it down the coast, rarely taking my eyes off of it so as to keep my car on the road. The light was very bright at first, like a meteorite, bigger that Venus when you can see it on a clear night and it’s closest to the earth. I had kept my eyes on it for about 2 minutes when I saw that it had seemed to be flying over the Sea World tower, approximately 30 miles away. I had reached Leucadia, Ca, and couldn’t see past the cliffs at this point, but at my last view it had traveled far enough so the light was just a speck in the distance. In my approximations, the light was about 1000 feet from the ground and traveling at a speed faster than the F15s from Miramar Air Force Base. 30 miles in 2 minutes would equal about 900 miles per hour.

Huge bright orange triangle shaped light rising in the sky. It wasnt moving very fast and it veered to the right then appeared to die out like a flame very quick then it disappeared.

Highland, CA
We saw a large burning object on fire. It burned bright orange floating slowly in the upper atmosphere, it was centered to the left of the moon. As it came down it started to disintegrate, like a piece of paper on fire. There was smoke and fire as it disintegrated. As it came to earth I could see black smoke coming from the object and fire as well. It didn't move fast, like a meter. Saw no other reports on this sighting.

Spring, TX
It's dark outside around 6-7pm on Sunday night, Jan. 4, 2015. Spouse comes in from the back patio and a little excited tells me he saw an object moving pretty low from the north across the sky over the recently cleared property behind our house. Here's his description: A big ball of fire with ropes moving in the wind and hanging down with balls of fire! First thought was: meteor. No, maybe a weather balloon on fire and falling? We live very close to the big intercontinental airport and there were lots of aircraft landing at the time; they are low and you can see the entire plane with blinking lights. I go to the front yard facing south. I see a glowing red object like it was on fire and in the same flight path as the first object which spouse saw flying north to south. About 2 to 4 minutes later I saw the third object. These objects were not the average aircraft like I saw flying to land at the airport. These objects were not on a path to land like the other aircraft. The 3 objects all followed the same path and same speed. These objects were not ordinary but appeared strange. Pics on my I phone were blurry. Thought about the Bible stories of the 'chariots of fire'. No idea what they were. Anyone else see them? My digital panel on the back of my stove has been out for several weeks and several hours after incident the digital clock on the panel was working. My husband has worked in construction for about 40 years and is in supervision. I am a homemaker and we have raised 3 children and we have 6 grandchldren. We have been married 40 years and are both in our late 50's. We are Christians and I really don't believe in extra terrestrials. I have never seen anything like this before!
