2 fiery orange spheres with flashing white lights. First sphere arrived and hovered; second sphere moved very rapidly and positioned itself in close proximity to the first sphere, then the two spheres ascended together extremely fast straight up into the sky. Wife's report. We spoke with the husband of the witness, and he emphasized how sincere his wife was about her description of the event and sighting. PD

Carolina Beach, NC
I have witnessed a Silent orange or red small orb shape hovering in one spot for long durations between Carolina Beach and Kure Beach, NC. It just hovers there for like 15 minutes and then it proceeds on a path over the Brunswick Nuclear Power Plant in Southport next to the Sunny Point Military Terminal. This has happened on many nights that I have personally witnessed in the past year. Unsure what the silent orange object is but it appears to hover in one spot and have special interest in the nuclear power plant. It may be a drone but it also hovers over beach homes and that makes me uncomfortable as to why it would do that. I am interested in finding out what this is. Please contact me to discuss any way that I can find out. The Carolina Beach Police has no knowledge of this object.

Charleston, WV
My son and his girlfriend was on their way home from Dunbar, WV, last night, and when they entered downtown Charleston on I-77 at around 2 something a.m., his girlfriend, ((girl's name deleted)), noticed a couple of lights up in the sky, and she told me that one of them was going pretty fast in one direction, and instantaneously it went into an opposite direction and did some zig zags in the sky. Along their way home she continued watching them, and about 15-20 minutes later when they arrived home in Sissonville, WV, they came straight up to our home and they said, dad, you’ve got to come outside and see this, and I said, why, and my son said, just come outside. I said, ok what the heck! So, I went outside on my front porch and said, now, what is it that you want me to see? They said, come out into the yard. So, curious as hell as I was, I walked down int the front of my house and started gazing into the shy. I saw nothing, and then we walked back a few more feet in the fron! t of my house and then,they said look, look straight up and I did. At first I didn’t see anything, probably because my eyes wasn’t focused yet. And then, I saw a light, then 2 light, and then 3. All 3 were in a triangular formation. And then they said, dad, look there are more. I looked, and yes I seen more coming behind the first three again in some form of a triangle. I thought, DAMN, WTF???!!!! WHATTHE HELL??!! We continued watching and here came about 3 or 4 more, and then a few more, and a few more, we again continued watching, and they just kept coming. The direction was coming from North West to West in an orderly fashion. It definitely was not a meteor or stars because they continued on in formation and faster than a jet. I live about 12-15 miles from the Charleston, WV, Yeager airport on a mountain and I see jets all day long, but never have I seen more than 3 or 4 in the sky at the same time. Well, we kept on watching, and they kept on coming. All heading from NW TO W direction. By the time I seen the last one, there must hav! e been 5 0 or more. After I seen the last one, I went in to our home and tuned in to ALL of the News stations, thinking that there may be some kind of a terrorist attack or whatever. So, I checked each and every outlet that I could, even local, but NOTHING. Called my oldest brother Danny, and told him about it and then he told my other brother about it, and about a half hour later they group face timed me and wanted to know all about it. Well, I told them exactly what I just typed, and they were like, WOW!!! They said, you might want to report this to MUFON or to you, I said, they aren’t going to take it seriously. But, they continued to harp on it that I should atleast report it. So, I am, and if you’d be interested in checking this situation out here in Charleston, WV out, than do as you may. I’d be very interested in ANYTHING that you would possibly find out about it! I don’t have a cell phone right now that is active, but if you’d like to reach me, then you can call my brother ! ((name deleted))., at anytime at: 843-((telephone # deleted)). THANK YOU!

Bright orange/red orb Northwest sky 20 degrees above the horizon. Bright would dim and get brighter. Then it moved slightly. Then it faded away. In line with Messier 53.

Joplin, MO
On my way to work, on the northern horizon. I noticed what looked like a red flashing radio tower signal light above par-hill park. There is no radio tower in that direction or tall building. As I got closer to the park I realised the light was moving to the west. It was a constant red color and flashed with intensity of the same color. As I got closer I could see it was about 100 feet off the ground and moving slowly westward. At one point it was nearly over the top of my automobile. I would say it was about the size of a soccer ball, at 100 feet. It proceeded to the west, and I to work.

Corpus Christi, TX
We were on our way to pick up snacks for a college exams and we love looking at the sky. We happened to look up to see if we could see any constellations and a flash of white light lit up the entire sky like someone took a picture. It's the only way I can describe it. However, after it happened we noticed dogs in the neighborhood had started barking. Once we got home we noticed strange white orbs appearing near us every once in a while. For a bit after I felt like something was watching us. But I couldnt see it almost like something was camouflaged in the house with us? Im not prone to bouts of paranoia, but the feeling wasn't shaken till we moved out of Corpus.This is not the first incident either of us have had with seeing something strange. While I lived on a ranch near Killeen growing up strange lights would appear and I would have strange marks appear on my body afterwards. I was no stranger to seeing the nearby base Ft. Hood with constant activity such as planes, helicopters, and even tanks roll down our road. Also my father prided himself on being a aircraft fanatic and he was constanly showing me the as ir traffic that would cross our ranch. We've had more increased experiences since this incident and have since moved to San Marcos, Texas. I'm still on the fence about reporting any of this since I feel like I wish it was something easily explainable. And I hope I'm just paranoid. I hope that maybe some testing was being done that can maybe explain the lights at least.

Three orange red orbs were floating in the sky. Not flying. Floating. I first though I was seeing flares from a boat but they didn’t fade or drop to the water. After a couple minutes, the three orbs just disappeared. A couple minutes later, 2 orbs reappeared. They disappeared seconds after appearing. My son and I both witnessed this while sitting on the beach at night.

Moments after the last one disappeared, we saw one less illuminated, take off North at an incredible speed. Much faster than ANYTHING I have ever seen. That was it, happened approximately over a 15-20 second period. Ironically, as we drove away, there were LOTS of planes flying in many different directions no different than any other night or day. NONE of which were near this event at the time it occured.

Sun Valley, NV
Saw an object that looked strange flying across the sky while waiting at a stop light. I snapped a few quick pictures while also watching the street light. I tried to turn around and take more pictures, but the object was gone. When I looked at my pictures, in addition to the object I saw, there were 2 other white balls higher up in the sky.

A large bright green orb with flashs of blue appeared out of no where. Making no sound at all. And shot across the sky in a downward angle at a high rate of speed toward the east and just disappeared.

I was at ny parents' house, sitting on the porch swing out in the county (country-side), talking on the phone, when an object that looked like the sun (yellow) came into my view, traveling at an average jet-airplane speed, coming from the SW and heading NE.

At first, I thought that is a very slow moving plane (airport near to the East), but then it stopped moving and had a slight dip or wobble reflecting sun off a rim. I thought, helicopter, ultralight or balloon? But it stopped and was motionless. I pulled my phone out to zoom and take a photo but the object disappeared? I searched the clear blue sky but couldn't find it. About 20 minutes later, there was a high flying jet contrails above this location. I wished I was faster to get a photo.

On April 13, 2019, in mid-afternoon I witnessed a UFO flying over my house. It was traveling south to north, was very fast, and didn't make a sound. It was about as high as a jet airliner is when it is on approach to land (500ft?). I am sure it was a UFO because I saw the same type of craft 2-3 days before the incident. At that time the craft was a farther distance from me, flying from south to north and more east of me towards Wyandotte and the Detroit River.

The witness was a tugboat captain and his crew was proceeding south 30 miles off Jacksonville Florida His engineer asked him what was a light which was approaching from their port stern at about the same heading as them (174° magnetic). When they first noticed it it was about 250 to 300 yards away not moving much faster than them which was 9.3 tks (knots?). He pointed out that it was submerged but glowing a greenish yellow light at first. He said it was the moon's reflection but the engineer pointed out that the moon's reflection was a little off their starboard bow. They continued to observe this light. As it slowly approached and got directly abeam of our vessel the captain noticed that his radars started spoking and showing a screen like they were in a heavy rain storm but the sky was clear and no wind to speak of. As this light continued to pass them it was only about 100 to 125 feet off their port side. At this point they could make out a round struc! ture between 30 to 40 ft. Round and maybe 40 to 50 ft under the water it continued to move south for about 3 to 5 minutes, then turned, west and cross their bow at a range of approximately a hundred yards. As it got about 30° to 40° off their starboard bow it came up and out of the water and became airborne, accelerated to a very high speed, and was out of sight in a matter of seconds.(MUFON CMS)

The objects are sphere like and are orange or red in color. They fly low and slow, sometimes seeming to just stop and hover, before fading out to nothing. You cannot hear any noise at all, like with a plane or helicopter flying over. While staring at them closely they appear to have bursts of the same color light around them. They are solid red or orange and do not blink at all. I saw 8 tonight, first two, then 2 more, then 3, then one. No more than 3 were in sight at one time. I have seen them before about 6 months ago. At that time it was only 3 and they all hovered in one spot for over 10 minutes in a triangle pattern, then just faded out to nothing. I have never really believed in UFO'S, but I really like to know what these are!

Was peering out the window of my home at 3:20am as caffeine kept me up. Saw a very bright light coming from the West end of the street. The object got closer. It was a white spherical shaped object, flying slowly above the street in between the houses. It had one white light. It was house level. It passed right by me slowly, the size of a tennis ball. No noise. Might have been a drone. Continued East.

At 20:35 I was with my dog outside in my backyard. I happened to look up at the sky. From the north came a fast moving orb. It was very high up. No flashing lights to indicate that it was an airplane. I watched it thinking it might be a satellite, but it moved too quickly. I tried to videotape it, but could not center it. I have a photo. The orb continued south at a high rate, then slowed down and the lights went out. There was no sound.

It's a clear night and I was wanting to do some sky watching, so I went out on my porch and sat for a bit and then coming from the north/West I saw a bright white orb fly over. It was as low down as a plane can fly and just very bright, but didn't seem very big at all. It kept a straight patt S/E. I've seen these before on different occasions that are pretty low and theu make no noise.

Le 08 avril 2019 en soirée, un témoin, en compagnie de ses filles, est sur une terrasse au premier étage d'un gîte, et prend deux photographies (IMG_4170.jpg et IMG_4340.jpg) montrant la vue dégagée sur l'océan avec le soleil couchant. Après le dîner, tous retournent sur la terrasse pour observer le ciel étoilé. Le père et ses filles sont alors intrigués par 3 boules lumineuses bleues/blanches alignées horizontalement, stationnaires et sans bruit dans le ciel : 3 photographies des PAN sont faites (IMG_4171.jpg, IMG_4172.jpg,IMG_4173.jpg). Ensuite le témoin prend une nouvelle photographie (IMG_4174.jpg) après avoir perdu de vue les PAN dans son objectif : cette photo est prise au hasard des rafales sans vue précise des PAN. Enfin, le témoin fait une dernière photographie (IMG_4175.jpg.) prise à la volée sur la partie droite d'un pin. C'est alors que le témoin remarque que les sphères lumineuses semblent s'en aller. Le témoin ne comprend pas ce qu'il a pu observer et photographier. Un seul témoignage est recueilli. La consistance est très bonne, avec un témoin ayant bien détaillé son observation, y compris avec les données angulaires. Cinq photographies ont par ailleurs été réalisées et ont pu être exploitées (voir le compte rendu d'enquête). En conclusion, nous pouvons affirmer que les témoins ont observé et photographié deux phénomènes distincts : - dans un premier temps les trois étoiles de la ceinture de la constellation d’Orion (Alnitak, Alnilam et Mintaka) : - et dans un second temps soit les lumières de l’éclairage public de l'île de Sein, soit celles d’un bateau empruntant le Raz de Sein en direction du nord. Cette conclusion s’appuie sur les éléments suivants : Pour la première phase : o immobilité, o couleur blanc-bleutée, o position en azimut et en élévation, o distance angulaire séparant chaque élément. Pour la seconde phase : o position en azimut et en élévation. Plusieurs paramètres ont contribué à ce que le témoin ne reconnaisse par ces objets : - il n’habite pas sur place et n'est donc pas familier des lieux ; - le témoin n’a aucune connaissance en astronomie ; - les conditions d’observations, nocturnes, se déroulaient en l’absence de luminosité ambiante suffisante qui aurait pu permettre au témoin de distinguer la ligne d’horizon. Par ailleurs, d’autres paramètres ont généré une discontinuité dans l’observation qui n’a pas permis au témoin de faire le distinguo entre les deux phénomènes, considérés dès lors comme étant unique : - la présence d’un arbre dans la direction d’observation ; - leur déplacement probable sur la terrasse lors de l’observation ; - la difficulté éprouvée par le témoin à cadrer correctement les PAN dans l’objectif de son téléphone. A cela s’ajoute la volonté du témoin de retrouver « ses PAN » observés lors de la première phase dans la dernière photographie. Pour ce faire, il examine méticuleusement l’image et trouve une succession de trois lumières disposées à peu près de la même manière que les trois premiers PAN, quoique situées plus en bas et étant plus rapprochées. Il assimile ainsi tout naturellement les deux phénomènes comme étant un seul et unique. Cette dernière photographie est une observation indirecte : seul le phénomène étoile est retenu. Le GEIPAN classe le cas « A » : observation certaine des trois étoiles de la ceinture de la constellation d’Orion et de lumières d’éclairage urbain de l’île de Sein ou d’un bateau circulant vers le nord dans le Raz de Sein.

Essie, KY
This event just happened to me (@8:38 p.m.). I wanted to tell it as soon as possible, while it was still fresh in my mind. I was outside cleaning up my yard after mowing and filling my bird feeders, when I just so happened to look up to the west and see a large orb/light in the sky. I wasn’t expecting to see that and it startled me. It was pretty close to me, I would say approximately 100 yards away. At that distance, it looked like the size of my street light. The color was what really freaked me out. It was purple and pinkish in color, and it also seemed to emit some kind of clear light. I watched it for about 15 seconds. It moved really slow in my direction then, all of the sudden it just disappeared. No streak in the sky, no going behind a cloud, nothing. At first, I tried to rationalize it by thinking it may be my neighbor who flies drones, but it really didn’t look like one and the way it disappeared leads me to think it wasn’t that. I am going to contact him to see if he was flying it at this time, and will make an update to my report as to what he tells me.

Salinas, CA
In the early morning of Friday, April 5, 2019, appx. 1:00 am, I awakened to something in my bedroom with my husband, sound asleep, and my 2 dogs, asleep in the bathroom. This orb of bright white light, had eyes, a slit that represented a mouth, was approx. 18 inches from my face. It “illuminated” my face, as it seemed to assess me while I was trying to assess it. I remember thinking, did someone break into our house and is in the bedroom? The door was closed and this orb did not have a body, nor did I see any hair . It appeared to have somewhat of a face; the eyes were staring through me, and was not a friendly gaze. I remember being frightened; however, could not break my gaze. Then it disappeared. The encounter was a matter of seconds, approxx. 10-20 seconds. This past week, I have been trying to understand what I saw and recount the details. It has been haunting. For a few nights, I was afraid to go to sleep. At first, I thought it could be a visit from a spirit(?); however, it wasn’t a familiar sight. It wasn’t until I heard on the news, there were strange parallel lines in the sky above Los Angeles, the next day, April 6, that I believed it could have been an entity encounter. To clarify my personality, I am a 63 year young woman , married for 34 years , no children , just my beautiful dogs. I am of sound mind, very grounded always level headed. I do not participate in any groups or clubs We live on a hill top in Salinas surrounded by 8 acres, I cannot disclose our address due to my husband’s company, which deals in secure information from ((subject deleted)). I am a ((deleted for the past ((three decades)) years in Carmel, CA. I wanted to share this experience with you as it still haunts me and remains prominent on my mind.
