Tonight, on Christmas Eve, my sister, my mother, my mothers boyfriend, and I all witnessed the same UFO sighting. My sister and I are university students, my mom is a executive assistant at a helicopter company, and my mothers boyfriend is a lawyer. My mother and her boyfriend went outside to put a new registration sticker on my license plate and my mom immediately starting shouting for us to come outside and look at something. My sister and I ran outside and my mom pointed up at the sky excitedly. We looked up and saw these orange/red orb looking objects in the sky. There were about twelve of them and they were gliding across the sky. It was completely silent and they looked as if they were pulsating; they would get brighter and dimmer. They followed one another across the sky in a sort of line, but not a straight one. Some were closer to one another than others and a couple of them were in a triangle-like formation. The whole event lasted about two minutes and when they got about halfway across the sky, one by one they faded and disappeared. I've always believed in UFOs but seeing one in person made my jaw drop. I sat outside for thirty minutes after with the hopes of seeing it again, but they never reappeared.

Yes I'm 46 yrs. old, my brother is 52, and my mother is 71. We live in the same house. This past Monday night. I stepped out of the house to smoke a cigarette. I noticed some plane or something with a bright orange light slowly coming towards us and steady climbing. Then I realized that this didn't look or act like a plane. In awe of this glowing orange globe it seemed to start climbing a little more rapidly. Then I saw a second, then third one all following the first one it seemed and at a substantial equal distances and in a perfect straight line. I ran to get my brother and told him to hurry and come look at this and with the tone of my voice he turned and ran for the door to follow me. I ran to the backyard which is the south side of the house and they were still in sight approximately 4-5 miles to the south. All of a sudden the lead one who was climbing in altitude almost strait up but at a slight angle seemed to level out turning in a southerly directi! on then just vanished. The second two were on the same path behind the lead one and 20-30 seconds later they also disappeared. My mom ran and looked through the back window when she heard the commotion. They made me not be a skeptic anymore. You know I've always wished that I could see a UFO just once. And now that I've seen one, I'm not so sure now. It's kinda cool but also really scary!!!

Vashon Island, WA
On the night of December 22, 2014, at 7:35 for 6-7 minutes, I saw fireballs in the sky over the north end of Vashon Island, WA. I observed as closely as I could. They looked like extremely bright disks of fire, sometimes with pinkish-bright edges or centers; one seemed to have a metallic rim. In my vision, they were between the size of nickels and dimes. The disks were beautiful and after a time, seemed either to burn up individually or fade off in space. I was outdoors, and there was no noise, even when five more fireballs, seeming to rise out of Puget Sound, shot over the trees below me in extremely rapid succession, in a West to East trajectory into the sky overhead. The objects then became jittery and quickly flew into at least two formations. I called my sister-in-law who lives on the street above me, to go to her window. When I asked her a few days later what she saw, she said, “A big red ball in the sky.” The objects never moved toward Seattle, staying above and in front of my vision northward, until they were gone.

Portales, NM
Heading East on I-70 towards Portales, NM, in pitch darkness, no oncoming traffic or any other vehicles on the road but our own 2 vehicles. Suddenly, a bright neon green light that lit up the horizon appeared directly ahead of us off in the distance. The light appeared neon green for about 5-7 seconds then turned into a bright white for about 3 seconds before completely diminishing.

Edgewood, NM
Witnessed round orange/red ball of light moving across sky from West to East. Roughly ~15,000 ft elevation. Flew right over me. Zero sound. Object completely vanished. Could only describe it as a miniaturized sun that was flying in the evening sky. Have a cell phone video, but quality is poor. Object was bright enough for phone video camera to see. Object was FAST. Moved many times faster than air traffic.

Berlin, CT
Two fireball-looking objects flying side-by-side in a south-western direction. One of the fireballs emitted what appeared to be droplets of fire from my vantage point. The balls were not connected to each other as they weaved in an out, relative to each other. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I was walking out to jump in my Car to Smoke a Cigarette around 2 am. I seen a weird Almost Fireball looking thing in the sky. It looked like it was on fire or had a glowing aura around it from what I could see from the corner of my eye. I looked up at it to try and see what it was and it was so bright it honestly felt like I was trying to look into the sun. It was something I have never seen before and I am outside every night. I grabbed a pair of sun glasses out of my car as the same time as my phone rang. When I put the glasses on and tried to look up at it again it was gone. IT vanished straight up in the sky and seemed like it moved instantly. I Answered my Phone and it was a friend of mine who lives two streets over. He Was calling me because he seen it to and was freaked out. I have never believed Till now. But there is nothing to explain that I have looked everywhere trying to. Witness indicates that the date is approximate. PD

Winter Springs, FL
I would like to report what may, or may not, have been a UFO sighting. Some time between 9:15pm and 9:30pm, on December 19, 2014, I saw maybe 6 to 8 orange and red lights hovering in one place in the sky. They were approximately over Dike Road and Tuskawilla Road in Winter Springs, Florida, but to be honest I could not tell exactly the location since I was driving. I live near an airport, and I saw some planes fly somewhat close to the lights and thought maybe they would have reported them as well. They were, as I said before, hovering in one place. Their alignment was horizontal, but scattered, as in they did not make a straight line. I wanted to turn around and see them again, but when I went back they were all gone. I am not sure if this matters, but it got very cloudy after the event. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

We were talking in the backyard when we noticed 5 orange light in the NW, the direction on Skyharbor airport. These lights were just there, not moving, and then moved very slowly until two of them disappeared. The other 3 were visible for 2 more minutes and then faded away, one by one. After 2 more minutes, one more light appeared above us, got bright white and rapidly faded away also.

Orange County (in southern part), CA
On 12/13/14 at aprox 9:48pm PST On Interstate 5 South at or near Hwy 74 exit - South Orange County. Very clear visibility at the time. While traveling south - my wife and I were witness to a very fast falling shooting star from the east toward the west lasting aprox 3 seconds. This was a bright arch of mostly white light that changed from a tint of yellow to white to tint of bluish green before disappearing. We estimated from angle that this if it did hit earth could have been in the Pacific Ocean near shore.

Hatfield, PA
on a clear, cold night, I looked up and saw a bright yellow, orange fireball. It was low enough that I could clearly make out flames coming out of it in a downward direction. The best I could describe it, is a small, slow moving sun, about the size of a dime. My immediate thought was a hot air balloon on fire, but soon realized that was not what I saw. I had a full view of it for about 5 minutes. As it was nearly out of my field of view, it seemed to extinguish, and reappear. I have pretty extensive experience from the Marines, of what is normal, and what isn't. This was certainly a technology that I have never been exposed to.

Birmingham, AL
We were leaving Centerpoint, Alabama. When we got past the airport, we sighted 6 of what looked to be white dots from our car. Then, as we got closer to downtown, we got a better view. The objects look like fire balls, or meteors, flying through the sky. I recorded one of them moving toward Tuscaloosa, Alabama. All the others moving fast and out of sight fast, moving in no specific sequence, but at one point, in a T-formation, then a V-formation, then breaking off in a scatter, but a close scatter.

I freaked out and asked everyone in the vehicle if they saw the comet-like object disappear into mid air, and of course no one did besides myself. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
