Mount Vernon, IL
The evening of October 25, 2014, I was sitting in the living room, when I noticed a very bright orange light off to the North from our bay window. I decided to investigate and discovered that the objects looked similar to fireballs. The objects were quite large, silent, and pulsating. They were flying about ten minutes apart and they were following the exact same path. The color of the objects would change from a vivid orange to a yellowish color. The wind was calm and the skies were clear. The objects looked to be flying about ten thousand feet or less, at my best estimate. These objects did not have any FAA lighting and were silent and had absolutely zero similarities with any known man-made craft or Chinese lanterns. I was able to capture them on video with an IPad.

I have just left my mothers house and was getting into my car to head home. I live right next to her down the road so the drive is not far at all. As I left her porch I looked into the sky and saw what I would describe as a fireball sphere. It seemed to admit its own light and was mainly orange but occasionally a red a blue light would flash off. Figuring this was an airplane, considering I live a hop, skip and a jump from a airport in Franklin at which does frequent test flying, I did not take the object to heart. I proceeded to my car and backed up to go home. As I turned from my mothers driveway I saw the object once again but it was closer. I drove very slowly and watch as the object started to disappear little by little. But considering I drove right passed trees I put that as the reason. I parked my car in my driveway and looked out for the object, but did not see it again. But not long after did I hear what sound like a helicopter or airplane. Weird.! But I must tell you I have lived in this area my whole life. I have seen helicopters, planes, and even jets over the years. I know their sight and sound. This was nothing like I have ever seen before.

Me and my friend were standing in the street by his car when I see his face look up in shock. He tells me to turn around and asks me what the heck that is. It was a blue fireball about the size of my hand with a trail that resembled a huge shooting star as if it was only about 2500 feet away falling out of the sky from west to east at an incredible speed. The most bizarre thing about it was it changed colors from white to blue then orange before it disappeared from sight. I tried to find the landing pint but couldn't.

I was traveling Northbound on I-15 and to the west of me by about 1-2 miles away were fireball like objects appearing and moving ominously over the desert 200 yards or so off the ground. I saw two at first and then as many as six. I am more than familiar with all types of known military craft. These were unlike anything I had seen before, flying or seemingly hovering in the night sky. This was at dusk and I could see the dim light the orb type fireball would emit until they became bright for just a few moments. The objects did move up and down and at a diagonal. They seemed to be able to move at much greater speed than the aircraft that seemed to be trying to keep up and track the objects. I did count four aircraft in all trying to keep up with these things. The objects would be dim at a very light blue and then get brighter with a bright orange, fire like color and they were in a staggered formation but not uniformly staggered from right to left, one higher! than the other almost in an elongated W pattern. The objects made no sound.

Myrtle Beach, SC
Around 21:30 hours (9:30 p.m.) on Tuesday, October 21, 2014, two reddish-orange colored "fireballs" appeared off the coast of southern Myrtle Beach, SC, around 1.6 miles from the Myrtle Beach International Airport. The objects were different sizes, one larger and the second somewhat smaller. From the shore line, the objects were in an easterly direction over the ocean. At the time of the sighting, the lights did not move at all and no audible noise came from the direction of the objects. There was also no reflection of the objects on the surface of the ocean. Within a minute of the initial sighting, the objects disappeared from view; the larger one disappeared first and then the smaller one. No further lights were seen that night. The next day, several customers of the same hotel reported seeing the same lights around the same time, but none of them were together when the sightings were made. It appears these are the same lights that have been repo! rted in the area of Myrtle Beach and vicinity over the last several years, including numerous sightings in early October of this year.

While letting the dog out I looked up at the sky to see a hazy orange ball of light in the sky. It was silent & moving from North to South. It was not high up in the sky-I'd say maybe 2000'. It was South of the West to East flight path for Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood airport. To the North of the flight path there was a small, white ball of light that seemed to be hovering. By the time we found the binoculars it was either gone or went behind a cloud. It seemed to fade away! Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Boynton Beach, FL
Was driving south on Jog (north of Atlantic Ave...near Oriole Rd). Saw TWO (2) things. Too slow for airplanes. They were traveling west. Was looking for red/green on plane, but as they got closer, I saw what looked like TORCHES in the sky. Like torches used in the olympics. It looked like fire in the sky. Bigger than airplanes. Fairly close to one another. I stopped the car and just watched. Couldn't believe what I was seeing. Scary, but cool at the same time. I am of sound mind, highly educated, and didn't believe in UFOs. But this was definitely something that I don't understand what I saw. Did anyone else ever see fire torches in the sky that move slower than planes. They also hovered at one point and then moved on.

Santee, CA
While driving home from Santee, CA, heading South on HWY.125 (about one mile South of the Intersection of Mission Gorge Rd. & HWY.125, I saw a falling object/fireball through my front windshield that was emerald green in color. It was visible for about three seconds, going out of sight near ground level behind a hillside. It consisted of a main emerald green fireball with what looked like small pieces breaking away from the main object (leaving a small trail). It was falling in a slight North to South direction.

Around 10:15pm October 19th I saw a orangish red bright light that I thought might be a chinese lantern because it seemed to be at a low altitude, I asked my dad to come watch and we realised it was traveling at a constant speed across the night sky. To me, it appeared to be a ball of fire. My dad said he has never seen anything like it.

From NJ - Looking to the western sky, I saw, what appeared to be 2 comets or fireballs streaking across the sky! At first I thought they were jets reflecting the sun's light. They were much to bright, as if on fire, and the "tails" were glowing as well. At a 45 degree angle, they remained in the sky until they went over the horizon. Then, I saw a 3rd one in the Southwestern sky. It to remained in the sky. About 30 minutes passed and then 4 more meteors or comets appeared out of nowhere and also remained in the sky. From my perspective, looking west, they were traveling left to right toward the sun. Did anyone else see these?

LaGrange, IL
There was 4 orange/red fireballs flying in a straight line following each other. Then they all separated the straight line and formed a giant square in the sky and became completely still not moving. This all was about 3 minutes long. While in the square one at a time the the light started to dim. The light disappeared one at a time until all 4 fire balls were gone. This took about another minute. My view point was from a building 5 stories high and had a great view point of the sky. This was a sighting around 8:55 at night and crystal clear sky. I would guess the objects were in a southwest location from LaGrange, Illinois, maybe around Woodridge, or Naperville, Illinois.

Ada, OK
My son and I were driving east and observed a glowing orange object. The object could have been described as a fireball i guess but had no noise or any other lights or recognizable features. We watched it travel in a southern direction for about 3 minutes then it effortlessly switched directions and traveled in an eastern direction. We then watched it travel east for about 4 minutes. It then disappeared, the sky was clear so no clouds or anything to disappear behind. My son tried and record it with his cellphone we havent looked to see how it showed.

Gallatin, TN
Several unknown items shaped somewhat like a fireball in formation form at times in sky, some one at a time, other times a whole cluster of them, appearing in the distant horizon and moving at same speed and disappearing in the same location farther towards opposite horizon. Very small, yellow/gold color, somewhat like the sun the way it moves when it burns, but was a solid light, not a blinking light like an airplane light. The tail of it came out the bottom, kind of spiked in appearance. They would come as a cluster at one moment and then the next time would be one at a time, but closely following each other. At one point, they looked to make some sort of formation before the next bout would appear. Then they all stopped appearing.

Witnessed 8 glowing orange UFO's that flew over us while we were standing in our front yard. They were NOT blinking and were moving much faster than airplanes. Also saw one maneuver up and down. They were headed east toward the Atlantic Ocean. Flew very smoothly and made no sound whatsoever. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
