Gila Bend, AZ
While flying in a general aviation plane at approximately 7,500 ft, heading north east from Yuma to Gila Bend (along V66) a bright fireball/ orb appeared. The light was estimated to be a mile or two away and approximately at the same altitude. The object appeared to be ascending and descending, at random intervals of several hundred feet. The object appeared unaffected by the strong winds occurring that particular night. The object stayed the same relative distance and it was hard to determine if it was moving or stationary (horizontally). After about 10 minutes the object faded out like a candle being extinguished quickly. ATC was notified by us for a possible converging traffic target and reported they had no other aircraft in the vicinity of 25 miles. Safety of flight was not impacted. Notice the pictures were taken in total darkness (almost midnight). But the object was bright enough to give the camera light to see the desert and surrounding area. The moon was also out, which aided.

The light was bigger than a house and had a fluorescent hue to it. After 5 seconds it started fading but the mountaintop was still illuminated. Immediately afterwards a jet flew overtop and left a jet stream. I’m not sure if it’s some sort of testing area but I’ve never seen a light that bright in my life. I couldn’t get to my camera quick enough so I only have the after lighting.

I was looking out in the field in front of my house. I saw three red lights in a triangle shape. Thinking it was maybe a tower. I came back out about 20 minutes later and one of the looked like a fireball. I filmed them but my camera wasn't very good but I saw more than it showed it really scared me.

I was taking photos of a pretty beam effect the snow was having on larger lights . While taking a photo a bright ball of light came into view and rolled thru the sky. It was only a brief time but I managed to snap three pics as the camera was already up . You can see it move in one pic because the camera was on live mode.

Please send me a way to upload a video with an explanation of what is captured on tape. This goes way beyond a simple UAP sighting. The events happening in the sky directly corrolate to events that are happening on the ground. This is very difficult for humanity to understand what is actually happening to them and very few people are aware of this. I need to send you a larger file than is allowed on this site Thank You, Michael

Bright orange fireball looking orb sitting what appeared to be stationary. I had my binoculars and viewed the orb for a few minutes no flashing lights no red or green lights just bright orange in color. I viewed it until I was frozen by cold temps and went back inside. We lined up the Orb with nearby tree branches to see if it was moving it appeared stationary. A few planes were in the distance from Chicago we identified them by white lights and flashing. We wondered if it was a planet since it was not moving. The Orb then began moving out more towards the lake. Then the Orb began getting smaller in size and disappeared. We went back inside and soon it returned back in the same general position and once again got small and disappeared. Photos are from my iPhone so not best.

Big round fireball was right outside the window Dr. Luis and I were arguing if it was Venus or tower I grab my phone to focus on it and I could see that it was a round fiery object with blue light plasma around it but when I took the lens off it just looks like an amber color I went to take a picture of it and it shut up Into the sky If you blinked you missed it when I looked at the picture it showed an object totally different from the light shooting up in the sky it looked more like a TicTac

I was a passenger in a car on my phone and something bright and fast caught my attention. I looked and in the west was a streak of pure white. The head of the object was red with a very pronounced and long white tail, the purest white I've ever seen. As the craft moved, the tail disappeared (with delay). It looked like the craft was moving down from my angle, but based off of the way the tail looked, the craft seemed to actually just be moving away from me.

Bosie, ID
I was buying a last minute anniversary present after work and I saw strange firery lights in the sky. The lights were yellow but almost silver or metallic. Didn’t have a definitive shape. Flickered like fire. I have no idea what they were but it’s got to count as a ufo. I’ve checked news reports, found no explanation. I was alone. My wife thinks I’m just tired and overworked. I don’t want to tell other people who will judge me. I know what I saw

Lake Jackson, TX
I’m in my kitchen in lake Jackson Texas. We have a flat screen on the wall that we turn on to watch wildlife and snow in the Jackson Hole Wyoming area. I had just turned the tv on and a huge fireball flew over the Grand Tetons, I took a video of the event on mr phone. The size of it was huge. It was still dark over the Tetons so you can see the event. Wanting to see if anyone else seen this.

We were outside on my porch and I was facing my friends. I thought I saw a firework but there was no sound at all, and I realized no, it wasn’t a firework. I said “what’s that?!” And my 3 friends turned around and all said “…I don’t know?!” And we watched as it streaked through the sky, fiery and orange and eventually trailed off and appeared to burn out. It was fast, but all 4 of us knew we had seen a UFO. The shape, the color, the lack of sound and the movement of it were all really strange.

We saw a UFO that was bright orange flying north. It was incredibly bright almost like it was a fireball. It did not seem round though. As it passed us heading north it was flying low and fast; though not space ship fast. Then a second one appeared on the same path and looked identical. I have never seen a flying object this bright or this orange.

There were at least 22 orbs of warm yellow/orange light creating shapes, orbs were swirling in pairs. Looking from close to Tangerine and Twin Peaks area towards Cortaro rd. No airplanes visible except for one at the beginning. People driving in the neighborhood were all stopping, it was a huge show of lights. They were slowly gliding over the sky towards west. Slowly disappeared one by one.

Morenci, AZ
On my drive home from work I saw what I believed to be a set of meteors falling threw the atmosphere. There was 5 to 10 balls of fire in the sky looking like they were falling. Two to three minutes later I saw another set. I called my wife to ask her if she had seen anything. About 5 minutes later I saw another set, this time it appeared like one was burning up and another would start again at the same location or it was coming out of the same place as the first one. When I got home a few minutes later I went inside to tell my wife, and post on Facebook to see if anyone else had seen it. I went back outside again and saw another set. This time I got photos. 3 different people on our local Facebook page reported that they had seen the same thing.

I am an Air Traffic Controller working the overnight shift at a local airport. The night is extremely slow like any other as we typically stay open in case of emergencies, weather diverts, delayed arrivals or cargo planes. I was sitting kicked back in my chair and looking at an array of screens and equipment in front of me that are spanned out horizontally across a low sitting desk so I have a good field of view of the sky. Its a clear night, visibility is well beyond our farthest reportable value of 10 miles. The lowest level of the trace clouds in the sky are 20,000 feet above the ground level. There are very few stars visible, and not a single airplane or even a radar blip of a moving object anywhere within 60 miles of me. These radars are accurate enough to often mistakenly pick up large birds momentarily, so there was surely nothing typical in our skies on this night. Counting the minutes until my shifts end, gazing blankly across my desk and into the dark night, is when I saw what I have no other explanation for than a UFO. Like nothing I have ever seen before, what appeared to be one object with two vibrant glowing green lights in a fixed orientation next to each other appeared several thousand feet in the sky in a rapid downward trajectory. The object was definitely several miles away from my position based on my day to day observations looking out these same windows when there are dozens of airplanes in the area. But the size of the object being several miles away, appeared as large as an Airbus only a mile away, flying into the ground, lit up like a glowing green Christmas tree. The object had appeared at what looked like several thousand feet above the ground, and within seconds it has descended to barely above my horizon view and a ridge line in the distance when it appeared to “pull up” like a modern aircraft would, but being its size and speed and trajectory, no modern aircraft would be able to pull up to a horizontal flight path that abruptly. Just as the object appeared to level, the lights vanished as instantly as any light would turn off from the flick of a switch. I have never seen anything like this, there have been no signs or even a flicker of light anywhere in that area or the surrounding sky in hours… I have been spooked, chilled and at an uncomfortable loss of words since.

I saw a green meteor like thing with a tail fall out of the sky. It was red/yellow (pale) in the center with a green flame tail. From its relative size and speed I knew it was something big and close (moving too slowly to be far away). Way bigger than a plane (I was under a flight path). I asked someone if they saw that and they said no. I was surprised because with how close it seemed and the angle it was flying I would have expected it would have crashed and made a noise.

3 fast traveling fireballs in the night sky. Fireball shaped objects( very bright fire, orange-like color) took off in Towamencin Township and flew Northeast with speed that I could not quite determine, but was not slow, increasing altitude until disappearing. From the visual appearance and the distance, the size of the objects could have been from 3-6 feet in diameter. My neighbor and I both captured video of this event. We were able to observe objects take off and steadily traveling and increasing altitude up to about 100-200 feet over Towamencin Township area, towards the I-476 highway.

While driving on university N in Coral Springs just before turning right on Royal Palm BLVD heading home around 1am. I sighted a moving red flame in the sky as I tried to get my camera out to record it, it gotten lighter then suddenly vanished. I drove around looking to see if it was still around but couldn’t see anything and the sky was very clear with lots of stars present.

An upward flying object on the western skyline leaving a trail of fire behind it. Duration was less than one minute. Moving at very high speed and changed direction very quickly. Definitely not a natural phenomenon.

Excelsior Springs, MO
Object moved slowly, low in the sky moving south to north. It appeared to be a fireball meteor over downtown Excelsior Springs. The object turned to the east and ascended slowly and when it did, the orange lights were in a triangle shape. 3 points of light glowing orange. Slowly ascended and disappeared and I could hear no sound. I would have flown directly over The Elms hotel and downtown Excelsior Springs so hopefully there are other reports. I saw this at 9:15pm
