Seatac, WA
That being said, It was around 2:30 am, the skies were clear at the time. I was looking upwardly West/Northwest at the "Big Dipper" as I do every night. Out of nowhere, what appeared to be one of the many stars in the sky suddenly and silently got extremely bright, brighter than anything in the night sky, then dimmed very quickly until it dissapeared. Earlier in the evening, while again looking at the Big Dipper (towards the east), I saw what looked like a star suddenly start moving to the west then abruptly change direction to the south. It appeared to be moving extremely fast until I could no longer see it. I don't think these two separate sightings in the same night, around the same constellation, seemed like they were coincidental. This marks the third time I've seen something unexplained and unidentified. The first time was witnessed by my wife, kids and myself, was more eventful and lasted much longer but that's another story. Keep looking up!

Old Town, ME
Orange-colored sphere, flew silently over my house at an altitude of approximately 500 feet. No noise, seemed to be enveloped in a “haze” that resembled heat-waves on the pavement during a hot day. As the object was directly overhead, the light “powered off” and the sphere slowed-down. It was now a metallic-sphere with no light. A light-haze now enveloped the craft. I ran along the driveway watching it. Suddenly, it was just gone. Dogs were barking all over the area.

Farmington, ME
I was walking down the road and looked up into the sky. I saw a bright blue light. Much brighter than any of the stars but nowhere near the brightness of the moon. It sat there for a couple seconds, and then it shot across the sky leaving a white streak, and then did what I can only describe as punching a hole in the sky. Like it entered a wormhole. And then there was this orange hazy and flowy ring left behind where the wormhole was. The ring expanded a bit and then faded away.

Cascade Locks, OR
While driving home from college from Oregon to Montana, I was in the area of Cascade Locks, Oregon going down the highway at about 55 mph. I glanced up to my right and noticed a perfect silver sphere in the sky next to some hills that I estimate were about 1,700-2,000 ft high. The sphere was closer to 1,000 ft up in the air and it was moving quickly, but in the opposite direction of me and behind a hill. I sped up my car in able to keep looking at it before the hill obstructed my view, but it was moving very quickly and I lost it behind the hill. I saw it for about 7-8 seconds total. My best estimate for the size of this sphere is 2.5 meters in diameter (roughly the size of one of those “human hamster balls”). It looked like a perfect sphere and I did not see any kind of string attached to it. It didn’t leave any kind of trail and it didn’t have any lights, windows or wings that I could see. It was opaque and light silver in color. One observer: 21-year-old female college student traveling from Oregon to Montana

Ozark, MO
My buddy and I were walking around at the fair grounds here in Ozark, MO, with his son and we started hearing loud explosions going off. They were deeper sounding than fireworks and as close as it was we would’ve seen the lights from them. Soon after my buddies son and I looked up at the sky and seen a bright globe shaped object hovering in the sky, and soon as we told my buddy to look it spun around a couple times then took off south west VERY fast and was gone. Soon after we started seeing a couple planes change direction and floolowing the same route the craft we seen take. After it left the loud explosions stopped.

Seattle, WA
I live near the main airport here. And my job has route that fly above and near me. This orb of light i would call seemed to be using the sun as cover. I knew it was watching me. It tried to hide behind a tree once I spotted it. Like it darted and came to a complete stop. Its movements were as if you were to move computer mouse and watch the arrow move. Very swift and precise. I was running to get my phone playing my music. I knew I wouldn't make it. So, I stopped and watched it just fade away. I have seen this odd orb before. When I have seen this type it sometimes splits into 3 orbs and takes off. I don't like to call it a UFO. It makes me look/sound crazy. But this wasn't of earth. And it's easier to dismiss than to prove fact. I don't have many I can tell this to that believe me. So here you go. Hope someone else saw this. Just so I help you feel less crazy. You aren't. The earth is not what we think.

Santa Barbara, CA
Weather was partly cloudy (thin marine layer over sea, clear over land), wind nw 10kt. I and a few passersby noticed 4 white dots in the sky. They had no discernible trajectory but appeared to be moving in a brownian motion (random path) while remaining more or less stationary on a measurable scale. One was seen through binoculars and the object(s) appeared as a white ball with wings of an indescribable shape. After some minutes three of the objects disappeared leaving one, which subsequently faded to nothing. These orbs appeared similar to ones commonly seen launching from offshore (Pacific Ocean) off Pt. Mugu naval sta. seemingly into space at least 5 times faster than rockets launching from Vandenberg, also visible from SB. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Wichita Falls, TX
I was over at my boyfriend's family house that evening. I am unsure the exact date and my boyfriend cannot remember either. I usually don't stay past 9 or 10 pm. At around 10pm or 22:00, my boyfriend walked with me to my car which was parked on the street about 20 to 30 feet away from his house. We typically spend a few minutes together before I actually leave . That night, we were looking in the sky and we saw what we thought was a plan. We saw a solid white orb-like light moving slowly through the sky. We were watching it and I realized that this plan didn't have the flashing light that most planes I have seen have, but we still didn't think it was anything else but a plane. However, after watching the light move across the sky for a few minutes, the light suddenly changed directions sharply, and in an incredibly fast speed took off straight upwards and disappeared into the sky as if it reached a distance our eyes could not reach. Both my boyfriend and I were shocked as we had never seen an object so far away move so fast and in such a strange manner. To this day, we are unsure what it is that we saw, but we know it wasn't an airplane.

Battle Creek, MI
I was sitting in the car with my grandmother. We were going out for her birthday. While at the light waiting for heavy traffic, I look over goguac lake. That's when I notice a metallic silver Ball floating in the sky. At first I thought it was Venus, but the time and position made no sense for it to be. Right as I got my grandmother's attention, she looks over and we witness the crafte appear to "blink" out of sight. Like a blip. It just vanished from sight.

Farmington Hills, MI
It was about 7:10 p.m. tonight, I was at work checking on some mechanical equipment, when I saw a jet leaving a large contrail. I immediately noticed 3 objects blinking on and off going in multiple directions. They would be on for a second or two then go off and reappear again in a different area. They appeared directly overhead and I would estimate to be very high up like tens of thousands of feet. I was trying to get pictures but when my phone camera was turned on I looked up and they were gone. Very weird I thought! I am an avid skywatcher and have never seen something like this before...especially in daylight.

Seven Mile Beach (Grand Cayman Island), Grand Cayman Island
April 26th, 1030pm. Westin Grand Cayman Resort on Seven Mile Beach, Grand Cayman Island. The beach faces west toward Mexico. My partner and I were looking at the stars in the nightsky listening to the waves. Noticed 5 or 6 orange orbs/lights following each other from the south towards the north, maybe 500 feet above the surface of the ocean, traversing the beach about 200 feet out from the sand. We thought perhaps the lights were those Asian lanterns people sometimes send off into the sky but the lights which were originally moving in synchronized movement all stopped except for the first light in the row. It took off, while the others waited behind it and then the first light completely disappeared. Then the next orange light in line took off northward over the beach and disappeared over us. This repeated until all the orange lights were gone. A perfect line and then one by one shot off and disappeared. No trails behind them. No sound. Gave us the chills so we returned back to our room.

Lincoln, NH
Location On the top of the Kancamangus Highway, NH, at the height of the land Lincoln side. My friend and I were watching the sunset over the mountains when we noticed a sphere shaped objects that was over the mountains. According to the map that was at the lookout we where in the object was floating above the East Pond trail. At first we thought the objects could’ve been a planet until a plane was starting to get closer to it. At that moment it appeared that the object started to pulse, then fade. The pulse moved on the object in a constant rhythmic pattern from one side to the other. The fad away also started on the same side and moved in such a way. After the event I made sure to get a photo of the location with a time stamp of 19:41. Unfortunately, the object was to far away for me to get a photo of it, but this event will always be remembered.

Toronto (Canada), ON · Canada
My son - a VERY reliable and honest witness (age 11) - indicated he saw a "silver sphere cruising across the sky" from east to west at an approximate altitude of 40-50 feet (above the roof-line of semi-detached houses in the Leslieville neighborhood of Toronto, near Greenwood park.) The size of the orb or silver sphere was estimated as "about the size of a basketball" with a reflective surface (as "glimmers of the sun" were perceived). The sighting lasted 3 seconds, with the orb essentially cruising over Sawden avenue (Toronto). None of the characteristics below apply.

Lincoln, NH
So me and my buddy ((male name deleted)) we’re sitting at this road pulloff in the Kancamagus Highway at about a quarter to eight. I’m pretty sure it was the highest point on the way up the mountain. Out of nowhere we see this light in the distance that just looks like a normal light in the distance. I give an assumption that it’s either a planet or just a really bright star. However, as we look an just talk about what possible planet it might be we see an aircraft with a pretty obvious chemtrail goin in the direction of the light. As that aircraft grew closer to the light it started to do something strange. The closer the aircraft got to the light it started to do a weird shift in brightness. As if though the light saw what was approaching. The light started to shift in some sort of pattern like a kind of blinking. That’s when me and my friend thought something was strange. We were joking around because we thought it was normal but then it started to pulsate an slowly vanished. The longer I looked to the sky the less I could believe what just happened. As quickly as we realized the light was there it vanished. The only thing I could think of that may have obstructed our view was a very small cloud. However even then I waited to see if this light may return. It did not. My eyes couldn’t believe what happened. The light was there one second and as if it was spinning it faded slowly away. It honestly frightened me to the point where I need to reassure myself multiple times that I was not the only person who saw it. I’m an avid hiker an I’ve seen the skies many times to know the difference between a normality and a anomaly. But I hope you can maybe figure out what this may have been because that’s the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen in the sky. I believe this may have been an extraterrestrial.

Le 24 avril 2019, vers 23h20, le témoin est à son domicile, son regard est attiré vers la fenêtre. Il voit alors, pendant 5 secondes, deux sphères blanches, non clignotantes, qui avancent côte à côte dans le ciel. Sa compagne les aperçoit à son tour, mais ne témoignera pas. Un seul témoignage est recueilli. Ce cas est de consistance moyenne : un seul témoin ayant rapporté son observation, informations claires mais sans photos et observation très courte (voir le compte rendu d'enquête). L’enquête a conclu à l’observation très probable de deux ballons LED, compte tenu des éléments objectifs définis dans les chapitres précédents, à savoir : - PAN se déplaçant de façon rectiligne globalement dans le sens du vent, - Formes sphériques de couleur blanche lumineuse et fixe, - Absence de bruit, - Les ballons sont souvent lâchés par petits groupes. L’observation de deux individus est tout à fait plausible, - Observation un mercredi soir : ballons pouvant avoir été lâchés à l’occasion d’un anniversaire d’enfant. Classification en « A » : observation très probable de deux ballons LED. [GEIPAN classification A — Ballon LED]

Janesville, WI
Nine ornage orbs located East, North - East of Janesville, Wisconsin. Eight appeared to be in a random figure with one quite a distance in the South that was moving faster to catch up with the group. They appeared to be about 60 degrees off the horizon. They eventually moved in a group North and after 10 minutes disappeared into the night. They were as orange as the fruit and moved in synch with each other.

As I look in the southern sky under the Orion constellation I a bright orange spherical shape with constentric circles. The light from it shined one me like a car headlight in the dark. I turned my head to look at Polaris and when I looked bk it was gone.

Mesa, AZ
Star gazing at 22:00 (Local); unusually dark, realized main road street lights out (?); spotted pulsating "star" in north eastern sky; not twinkling white light, but multi-color (i.e., red, blue, green) and very obvious, my [braced] binoculars still proved difficult to establish true shape, but my wife declared it to be a sphere (?). Estimated altitude approximately 10K AGL, and stationary - not hovering! I observed anomaly for over 20 minutes, then scanned westward approximately 20 miles, there in the sky (NW, same approximate altitude) identical, stationary, pulsating tri-color object. Observed both objects for another 30 minutes. Simultaneously witnessed commercial aircraft approach airfield via corridors (5K AGL?) were well below the western oriented object. Object(s) altitude, bearing and distance unverified.

Eagle Mountain, UT
There was at least 100 circular lights moving around. At first I thought they were balloons and was telling my wife to come take a look. 70% of the orb lights flew away slowly, and 10% came back and joined up with the group that hadn’t moved. Then they seemed to be getting closer to me and all spaced the same distance apart and got super shiny like the sun was reflecting off of them. That’s when I called my wife on my phone and then snapped a few photos. And a small recording. I would have recorded the whole thing if I hadn’t thought they were balloons.
