Star-like object making small erratic movements... up, right, down, rotating in circles. Gets brighter and dimmer irregularly. Looks exactly like a star would in the night sky.

6/24/19 (sic. 06/25/2019 ??) 12:35 a.m. New Harbor, Maine 129 Snowball Hill I was going to bed and looked out the front door as I locked it to see two beach ball sized white opaque lights across the street (small two lane tarred road). They were approximately 100 yards away and were both about six-eight feet off the grassy ground. Both moved slowly back and forth in tandem at times and over a distance in length of about 100 feet. Background to the grassy area was a line of alder and other shrubs about varying in height from four to seven feet and behind that stood the trees, both deciduous and evergreens varying in height from 50 to 60+ feet. These orbs omitted no sounds or flashes of light or beams of concentrated light. No other ambient light was present (there are no street lights nor were any porch lights on in the two houses that framed each side of the area in question). The moon phase was waning gibbous. I was alone in the house and did not think to take a picture or video. I was not under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The sighting lasted about one-two minutes and then, as if a curtain dropped in front of these lights, they were gone. 6/25/19 01:30 a.m. New Harbor, Maine 129 Snowball Hill I went to bed at about 12:30 a.m. and fell fast asleep. The window shades were down on the two windows that faced the road (Snowball Hill). I was awakened at 01:30 a.m. by a VERY bright yellow-orange light coming in between the edge of the shade and the window frame. It was as if it was daylight but the wrong color. I got out of bed and looked out to see two large round orange lights sitting on top of the tallest tree in the yard (about 70 feet tall) which was about 40 feet from the house. One light was slightly smaller (1-1.5 feet in diameter) than the other one (2-2.5 feet in diameter). The larger one had a swirling center like the sun has and they just lit up the entire yard. They did not move and were very close to each other but not touching. I watched them for about two minutes before they moved away higher toward the sky and then were gone instantaneously without a trail of light. Like a space ship in a science fiction movie when they go to warp is the best way to describe their exit. They, like the white orbs of the night before, were without sound. The moon was in the same phase – waning gibbous.

On the evening of June 22, 2019, at 23:50 hrs. I was out side with my dog before we were in for the night. I noticed off to the western sky, just above the treeline, there was a smallish red ball shaped object moving into my line of sight. As it moved across the sky I expected to see it burn out quickly as you would expect a meteor to do. However it did not. It did not also leave a trail of any kind as I have seen from personal meteor sightings in the past. As the red ball continued across the sky, I listened for the tell tale sound of a high flying and fast moving aircraft but heard nothing. To the north, Mother Nature was putting on a light show but there was no sound coming from that either. I looked for wing lights blinking, or any other sign of lights or such coming from the object but saw nothing, just a glowing red light surrounding the object just as an object entering the atmosphere would glow red. As I stated earlier, I kept expecting it to burn out, but no. It continued across the sky until it went all of the way across my range of sight and disappeared into the eastern horizon. In all, this sighting lasted no more than 20 to 25 seconds at most, from horizon to horizon. Not a sound was heard. Nothing trailed out from behind. No blinking lights of any kind. It stayed the same redish color from the second I saw it until it went out of sight. It appeared to be a rather large object as well because when you look at aircraft lights they appear to be tiny dots. This did not. Comparatively speaking, it is like comparing a period at the end of one of these sentences to the eraser on the end of a pencil. Big difference. This was the eraser and aircraft lights the period. The most eerie thing was the lack of sound. I hear aircraft at altitude fly overhead all of the time and expected something appearing so big to make some kind of sound. Nothing.

On my way to work on June 22 (night shift), I noticed a bright object in my peripheral vision. No stars really visible at this time as the sun was just starting to go down. Upon closer examination with my iPhone camera, I noticed the object seamed to move, in place. Hard to explain, but the video may help clear it up some. Weirdly shortly after video recording the incident, I had seen on social media and a few other sites that I use to research the topic that several witnesses in other states we baffled by bright spherical objects high in the sky. I read that several comments were claiming it to be a ufo, while, some skeptics of the ufo topic said “case closed” it’s a high altitude balloon released by google. And apparently that wasn’t the case because it’s my understanding that google actually commented on the post in reply stating they do have high altitude balloons, but do not have any released in the Atmosphere as of the comment. Strange, I believe I may have witnessed what several others from various states had seen.

I was mowing a lawn at my mothers farm when it started to rain. I raced back to the garage to get to a dry area and the rain started mixing with hail. I stayed in the garage for 10 mins then went back outside and looked up at the clouds to try and see if more rain was coming. That’s when I noticed a small circular object passing just below cloud level. I think it was metal as when the sun reflected off it you could see it shine like chrome. I squinted hard to see it as it was very small. It moved slowly across the sky, sometimes dipping into the clouds. It left no chemtrails or smoke behind it and made no sound. It definitely wasn’t a plane. It definitely wasn’t a balloon either as its path was straight and deliberate.

Le vendredi 21 juin 2019 à 23h40 un témoin (T1) sur son balcon observe plusieurs boules blanches qui se déplacent rapidement et notamment en rond dans le ciel nocturne nuageux. Le témoin appelle son fils (T2) qui voit à son tour des boules blanches tournant dans le ciel et qui filme la scène. Aucun bruit provenant du phénomène n'est entendu durant l'observation qui dure une dizaine de minutes. Le premier témoin (T1) quitte son appartement et sort du bâtiment mais ne voit plus le phénomène. Les témoins ont probablement observé des impacts de laser dans les nuages. Tous les éléments décrits sont compatibles et même caractéristiques de cette hypothèse : - forme tamisée à contour indéfini de la lueur, aspect comme "derrière les nuages". En effet, la réflexion des faisceaux n'est pas nette ni très lumineuse, l'effet est similaire à celui d'une lumière située derrière un léger nuage (perception des témoins) ; - mouvement géométrique régulier (ici circulaire), plusieurs lasers et impacts (ici trois), jeux de poursuite entre eux. On note que T1 fait lui même cette hypothèse qu'il rejette en raison d'une trop grande vitesse de déplacement dans le ciel et l'absence de lumières au sol dans le voisinage. Ce sont là de mauvaises raisons. En effet, les impacts laser sont connus pour se déplacer très vite et c'est là même un de leur intérêt en animation, la visibilité des faisceaux laser issus du sol et montant dans le ciel dépend des conditions d'humidité et de pollution atmosphérique, tandis que la présence de nuages (avérée ce soir-là) assure un impact lumineux du faisceau dans le ciel. Par ailleurs, la distance entre la verticale de l'impact et le lieu du dispositif au sol peut être de plusieurs dizaines de kilomètres. Nous sommes une nuit de la fête de la musique dans Lyon, il y a nombreux événements. Certains concerts ont pu mettre en œuvre des spots lumineux comme le montre une des photos du présent lien. Les vidéos du témoin ne montrent rien de contraire à cette hypothèse. On ne voit pas les spots en mouvement circulaire que la vidéo n'a pas pu ou su saisir, tandis que les lueurs traversant le champ rapidement peuvent avoir divers origines (par exemple insectes proches et éclairés par le flash) et produisent un effet distinct de la description visuelle des témoins. En conséquence le GEIPAN classe le cas en B : observation probable de lasers. [GEIPAN classification B — Laser]

I was closing a shade in my kitchen at 10:00 pm, when I noticed a brilliant blue object, or light, apparently sitting right on top of a streetlight located approximately 75 feet from my house. It was a little smaller than a basketball and was a bright medium blue color that cast light around it, and it had a white aura around it. I watched this object for approximately 30 seconds while trying to figure out what it was, when it suddenly shot backward (NE) at extremely high speed, leaving a trail behind it, and was out of sight in a second. Then I walked into the living room and noticed that the TV and all the lights seemed extremely bright. I had to lower the brightness on the TV just to watch it. Ever since then all lights seem very bright to me and I have to keep my office lights off and can't look at a computer screen for very long. I have an appointment with an eye doctor because I'm afraid that my eyesight has been permanently affected. I find it very odd that there were so many reports of unexplained objects earlier on the same day in Kansas City. I am a UFO investigator and have received reports of small bright red objects, small transparent objects, and multiple witnesses to the two or three objects that hovered over KC for over six hours on the 20th and on other days that week. Additionally, I received two reports of giant birds the size of an airplane in Independence and Sugar Creek that were seen on the 20th.

2 silver/white spheres approximately 5000 feet in altitude and around 500 yds. apart. Did not change position during the 20 minute sighting and were eventually covered by incoming clouds. At first sight we thought they were stars but were closer and larger than a true star. The evening sun made them shine like stars, I do not believe they were emanating light. This was approximately 5 miles E/SE of Kansas City International airport. There was nothing particularly significant about this other than they just didn't move at all the whole time while clouds and aircraft were crossing above.

I saw a "shooting star" come to a dead stop in the sky. It hovered for a while then shot straight up and stopped again. At that point I took out my camera and recorded. It then accelerates downwards and to the side behind the buildings near by.

Son noticed bright object in western sky. It looked similar to how a bright planet looks before dusk in the evening sky. First I got binoculars and still couldn’t really see any features. Then got out a small Bushnell telescope and then could easily see its features. Then noticed a second one in the north-northwest sky. The two objects were the same thing. They both moved slowly west through the telescope eyepiece similar to the moon moving through it. I did not have to re-focus the telescope when moving from one object to the other. They looked like white-ish glowing translucent balloons. There seemed to be a small ring of white lights at one end that slowly shifted or moved. The “balloon” almost seemed to rotate and change slightly also while moving through the telescope. There were no quick or sudden movements. We watched them for about 30 minutes before they disappeared behind a cloud bank. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I was taking photos of around my back yard of birds and looked up. suddenly, There appeared three round objects in plain view in the sky, and I called for my father to come outside to see. One due East of my location, moving very slowly, like it was floating in a westerly direction. Another was doing the same to the Northeast. A third, toward the Southeast was doing similar, but then after a few minutes, at a speed unthinkable to us, flew off to the south and vanished. They made no sound. Heavy clouds were moving in from the Northwest which first covered the one to the Northeast and we lost track of it at that point. The one due East was visible long enough, before the clouds moved in, for me to take two photos and a brief video of it.

My son and I were riding our bikes through our neighbor when he called out my name and drew my attention to an object in the sky. We then rode back to our house where I decided to take a couple of photographs. The object was a white or translucent spher reminiscent of a balloon. However it hovered in the same spot for a unusually long period of time. I also live near an airport so I would think it wouldve been a security risk if indeed it was a research balloon....

Noticed a light in the sky that looked like an airplane, but never moved. Proceeded to get telescope out and noticed a sphere that looked as if it was made out of wires. Also noticed 2 black things inside of the center or at times one black thing and a tail on it. No lights were on it and once the sun went over the horizon it was very hard to see. There was 3 other of these lights in the sky very far apart from each other. The whole incident lasted a whole hour but I am sure it was there for half an hour more at least.

At approximately 1:41 a.m, I was driving home after a late dinner/early breakfast and saw a good sized yellowish orb of light slowly moving across the sky at cloud level. I pulled off the road to observe. Initially, it was a solid orb of light. I watched it for a minute or two, then called my 20 year old using my cell phone. I wanted her to go outside (from home) so she could see what I was seeing. About 15 seconds into our 1 minute and 29 second conversation, the orb starting "blinking" on and off at something close to half-second intervals. As we were ending our conversation, it blinked one more time and then disappeared completely. About 15 to 20 seconds after the last blink, a second faster moving craft appeared lower in the sky. I couldn't quite make out its shape, but it had rapidly blinking bright red and white lights (almost like an ambulance), with a solid blue light in the center. At the risk of sounding stupid, it appeared to be chasing the first object. It passed behind a tree and I wasn't able to find it again. I don't know if it also disappeared, or if I simply couldn't see it at this point. All of this took place in a span of about 5 minutes. I should probably also add that all four of the car's windows were down and I heard no sound coming from either craft. While not relevant to this incident, approximately 3 months ago, I experienced a somewhat similar event. I observed a bright white orb of light moving slowly toward me beneath the clouds. After a minute or so, a smaller orb seemed to separate itself from the larger and move off to its right side. It was immediately followed by a third orb which moved off to its left side, forming a somewhat sloppy triangle. All three remained for another 15 seconds and then simply disappeared. There was nothing to interfere with my view. They were there, and then they were gone. These were also soundless.

We were sitting on our porch which faces south. We saw 3 red lights flying in from the ocean over the Isle of Palms and then to the North. They were evenly spaced and flying a bit faster than a private plane. Did not hear any engines. Shortly there after there were two more red lights on the same path at about the same spacing. Went to get my binoculars, but when I returned they were gone. I would have reported this earlier, but only after seeing similar accounts did I decide to report it. I remember the date because it was Father's Day and we had guests.
