The Foo fighter appeard out my eastern window floted north west between my building and the neighbors, I jumped up when my friend pointed it out, after the initial shock, amazement, curiosity, made me open the window to see if it was making any sound. Not a sound.It was very quiet outside being Sunday night in the winter. I watched it fly across the 100yd parking lot around the house and out of my line of sight. I then ran to my northern facing window, there it was floating assending north west, turned due north then shot up at great speed and disappeared. Iv seen 3 ufos in my life, I'm now disabled, was a drywall contractor,my friend doesn't like to talk about that night. Ps They are out there.

Ruidoso, NM
Last night, in the early evening, right after dark, I was leaving the local Ruidoso grocery store. As I pulled onto the road from the grocery store, my wife and I experienced a mystifying event that carried on for maybe 20 minutes. As we exited the parking lot of the grocery store I noticed a large and extremely bright orange orb directly above us. I started yelling with excitement for my wife to look, and at that moment, the orb was now right in front of us and suddenly split into 3 orbs all large and amber/orange in color maybe 1500 feet above ground level. The orbs began traveling at a high rate of speed to the north. I then rolled down my window to look at the sky and see if could hear anything. No Sound. At this point, I notice 2 fighter jets traveling in the same direction, at a high rate of speed, and these planes I could hear. The jets were left in the dust. Out of disparity to maybe get a glimpse of this phenomenon again we proceeded to a look out point a couple miles up the road. We pulled over and began scanning the sky. My wife saw the orbs first and drew my attention to where they were. This time there were 2 orbs above the Tularosa, NM, region. They were hovering in the horizon for a couple minutes then went dark. We waited a couple minutes longer and two more jets came from the east heading in the direction of the orbs at a high rate of speed. As the jets approached, the orbs made themselves visible again, and went straight up several thousand feet, then dropped back down instantly to where they were right above the horizon, as if they were trying to get the attention of the jets, maybe to taunt them. The orbs then collided into one another and disappeared. The jets made several circles in the area of where we saw the orbs. After a few minutes the jets turned and made their way back towards Holloman Air Force Base. Two large helicopters then appeared and circled the same area for a few minutes, and then also made their way back to Holloman as well. We then proceeded home. Maybe 30-45 minutes after being home, I heard a large turbine engine. I thought it was another helicopter. To be sure, I ran out to my back deck, where it was open, and to my surprise a B2 bomber came directly over me, very low, maybe 2000 feet AGL at approximately 500 knots heading towards Roswell, NM. Its force shook my house and alarmed many people in my neighborhood. It was definitely a B2 it was enormous. I am also a pilot and know the difference between these aircraft. The day before this sighting a friend explained his father was in Alamogordo, NM, (White Sands Missle Range) and experienced a shock wave of energy as he was walking into the Home Depot. It alarmed others. The phones, internet, land lines and credit card machines all went dead the day of this event for most of the day. There were jets flying all day long. I tried to record a video on my phone but the objects were too far away. Explanation: Weird! Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Mission Viejo, CA
I was sitting in my room on my bed watching a movie and my window is directly in front of me to the right of my television which gives me a perfect view of the sky. I am able to see planes fly by quite frequently, so I am very familiar with what planes appear to be in the night sky. However, what I saw can be described as the following: A vibrant, bright blue-ish purple fireball with a very clear blue aura, almost 4 or 5 times the size of what the planes usually appear as in the night sky, which made me feel it was extremely near by. Initially, the colors and abnormal appearance of this object is what caught my attention and got me off of my bed to take a closer look, but the thing that made me rush for my phone to take a video was when it had stopped in the sky and started to move backwards, or in the opposite direction it was originally moving in I should say. It continued to stop and hover, then move up and down in such smooth, swift, and effortless transitions. It was clear that this object was capable of moving at speeds much faster than any aircraft known to this planet just by the range it covered every second it was in the sky. After 3 minutes, I lost view of it after it passed behind a tree so I rushed downstairs and out the front door to see if it were still there to get a closer look but it was gone. Then i noticed the usual planes in the sky which gave me even more reassurance that this flying object was, without any hesitation, my first UFO sighting. I have a 2 min 42 second video of my sighting.

Phoenix, AZ
Walked out my back door last night just before 7 pm. Looking out to the NW just above the horizon, a large fireball appeared and covered 1/3rd of the night skyline in less than 2 secs., before disappearing over the horizon. It had a long tail and was heading towards the NW over the Whitetanks Mtn. range, in western Phoenix. Possible meteor?? PD

Owensboro, KY
Saw 9 fireball type objects flying over Owensboro. They appeared red on the top and glowed orange on the bottom half. They were coming in from the N.E. (from the Rockport In. area). They crossed the Ohio into east Davies's Co. and turned in a big arc continuing off to the west. We noticed that they seemed to be dripping fire (sparkler like). They were traveling very slow and in single file. We went outside to watch and there was no noticeable sound coming from the objects.

Prescott, AZ
I have not done this before, do not think this was a UFO, wasn't sure who to report to. Driving up into Diamond Valley, AZ, facing hills in background. Bluish/white, bright, round ball of light appeared x 2 seconds and slight arch as it fell toward the earth; then below it/projected from it, appeared an arrow shaped bluish-white light (like ball) which pointed toward/fell straight toward Earth (an elongated outline of exit sign is the closest to arrow I can describe in shape); then arrow gone in a second too (the ball disappeared after arrow appeared below it, then arrow disappeared). It is very cloud covered (happened about an hour ago) so it is possible I did not see the fall of this light all the way from high in the sky; it seemed to appear suddenly not far above the hills just above the clouds, fall out of the clouds, produce the arrow, then ball/arrow disappeared before they contacted earth (I think). Also, when I got out of car to look more at sky (did not see anymore lights); cloud covering over sky formed a huge perfectly round circle around the moon/the moon's light (the clouds were absent in this area...a natural event, but wanted to be thorough in everything I reported). I have lived in AZ a long time, have seen lots of lights, all have had reasonable explanations. However, I have NEVER seen anything like this. I have considered that the "arrow" could have been some kind of reflection off the clouds from the original ball of light (I am a skeptic in all things and must have evidence), but the ball of light and arrow emerged from the clouds. The entire thing lasted 3-4 seconds max. Very odd.

Fort Detrick, MD
My wife and I were driving to our house on Fort Detrick when I noticed up in the sky a large extremely bright fireball. By the time I had said, "BABE, LOOK AT THAT ((deleted))!" it had already fizzled out of existence. 1 large fireball colored bright orange, red, and white seemed to break into 2 smaller fireballs and crashed straight down into what I believe are the Catoctin Mountains near Fort Detrick. I speculate that it was likely a large meteor breaking into two pieces or that a piece of space debris fell in the atmosphere and burned up as I heard no boom as we approached the house. Anyone else see this thing?

This looked like a "double shooting start," but much brighter and lower in the sky. Very white. Large mass that broke into 2 separate tails, fell quickly to the earth. Possible meteor?? PD

Altoona, PA
Was on Plank Road by Wal-mart traveling north-west towards Altoona. Suddenly a bright, large blue-white 'fireball' shot across the sky in front of me, appearing to come from a large cloud, shooting down at about a 15 degree slope from the horizon, traveling west. I estimate whatever it was landed near the Logan Township/ Newburg area, or possibly even farther past the mountain. Did not make a sound. It was only visible for around 2-3 seconds before disappearing. Was very disappointed I didn't have time to capture video. I would describe it as looking like a large bluish Roman candle. It is quite possible that this was some sort of firework, but I've never seen a Roman candle that was large enough to be visible from that distance and also shot down from the sky. Also I didn't see any other lights or fireworks aside from the 'fireball' previously mentioned.

Fort Wayne, IN
Leaving to grocery store we noticed a red fireball in the sky. It was heading down at first then turned to the right and left a trail of smoke behind it. After about 9 min it started going up again until it vanished. We live north east Fort Wayne, IN. We both have never seen anything like this. Our dogs were going crazy barking!!

Merriam, KS
I was pulling into the movie theater when I saw a fireball in the sky. Looked too big to be a star, probably double the size. It was bright orange and moved very slowly from North to South then vanished. I did not see it appear, so I don't know how long it was there. The whole event lasted less than 5 min.

Springdale, AR
I was sitting on my porch, when a bright red firey ball/sphere zipped across the sky and disappeared, and a few seconds later it appered again and just floated then at a very fast speed flew away there was no tail or any sound but there was an aura of light red.

Hartford, WI
Fiery, round, object blazed across the night sky, descending rapidly toward an adjacent field. The flames dissipated as it drew closer to the ground, leaving no trace of where it landed.

Mumbai (India) · India
I live in India, and I witnessed a UFO sighting yesterday at 20:03 hours. There were fireworks going on, and suddenly, I saw something that was glowing like a star and was orange, but was quite closer than how a real star would appears to be. It was flying approximately at the height of a plane and then I saw another one flying behind it, around 5 of those things appeared one a after the other and flew across the sky while I managed to take a photo and a video. In the picture it looked like a dot maybe because the glowing effect is cut out. When I zoomed in, it looked like a fireball with a bright lighted yellowish square inside. Since I have heard a lot of stories of how different UFOs appear to be, I immediately noticed that it was similar to what I saw in an episode of Destination Truth. I read another report on a similar fireball UFO, even there it was mentioned that it was sighted when fireworks were going on, from which I thought that a firework environment has something to do with this phenomenon. Source indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Gulfport, MS
It definitely had a blue flame. Much like the after-burners on a fighter jet. It made no noise. No noise. Commercial jets fly over head 35k you can hear them. It definitely had some sort propulsion engine. As far as the size of this aircraft, it was 5 times the size of a commercial jet flying at altitude. I guess that's the best way to describe it. It looked like it was flying maybe 10,000 feet at the most. With no noise I just assumed it was much higher. It was between 18:30 and 19:00

New York City (Brooklyn), NY
Saw an fireball come out of the clouds approx. From Myrtle Ave. crossing park and flew towards manhattan before it disappeared into the clouds at the edge of Brooklyn. The first one flew low enough on park ave and stood a few seconds observing me before it flew off. The center was like a yellow orange fire with a glow surrounding it. The others followed the first every 6 mins at higher heights.

Farmington Hills, MI
I was a passenger in my friend's car and we were driving down Shiawassee between Middle belt Rd. and Inkster Rd. I saw an orange fireball in the sky on my left hand side and then it shot down fast behind a cloud. It happened so fast. I tried to get my friends attention, but it was gone by the time he looked up.

Cape Carteret (Emerald Isle), NC
November 28, 2014, between 11:30 and 11:59pm. My 14 year old son and I noticed from a distance a floating red light in the sky and thought nothing of it. As we got to the beach and started walking, I noticed another glowing red light – too close to be an airplane. It looked like someone had “set it free” from the beach not too far from us and it hovered toward us. I thought it was a drone or remote controlled aircraft, BUT there was no sound at all. They moved slowly and seemed to be “floating” in the sky. One came closer to us and then sailed out over the ocean and finally disappeared as it got too far away to see. Another one followed it but never came close to us. Then another. There were 5-6 of these with 3 visible at once. There was no wind and very little sound other than the crashing waves. We continued walking toward where we thought they were being “released” but then they were gone. 8-10 minutes from the first sighting and they were gone.

Greenville, NC
Saw what appeared to be two burning round objects in the sky moving upward. Objects were orange and flickering. They moved slowly and then after a minute or so seemed to burn out and disappear. About five minutes later another of the same objects appeared and did the same thing as previous two.

Two of them vanished, and the remaining ball kept moving away fast until finally it vanished as well.
