Colville, WA
Was watching the fireworks this Fourth of July with my ex boyfriend, when I noticed an orangish light just above the tree line. It would be visible and then disappear, I watched it do that 3 times. At first, he thought it was something related to the fireworks that I was seeing, but he realized it was not fireworks when the light came back and moving fast, from south to north then abruptly making a sharp turn and headed east, then it just vanished. This happened a couple of times before I had the presence of mind to get my phone and try to capture it on video. Literally the moment I started to video it, it vanished. Waited and waited, but it didn't come back. Until after the next weird ass thing happened. As I'm looking for this light, I see an enormous blue laser light cutting across the sky. I've never seen s laser that was that big, nor have I seen a blue one. My house is situated on a hill overlooking the valley, the orangish light had been over the mount! ains to the west and the laser came from the north (either from Colville Mountain or very close). The laser beam was very big and the intensity was so strong, it stretched across the sky. It was very brief, though. I have talked to a third person who also witnessed the laser, but from another location. After the laser went out, I noticed the orangish light was back, but now it was in the vicinity of where I had seen the laser. Once again, it flew along the tree line, back and forth a few times before it disappeared. I did get some video of what was happening, the quality is horrible (I am not an accomplished camera operator), but the light I was seeing is distinguishable. You can even see when it changes to an almost red color. Forgive the fact that my ex is totally bombed and providing non-stop commentary in the back ground :) I really do not know what I saw, only that it did not look like anything I've ever seen before.

Bernalillo, NM
On July 4th, 2019, at approximately 2202, from my home in Bernalillo, NM, a half mile west of interstate 25, looking to the south SW approximately 12 miles to the Albuquerque Balloon Park. I was watching the fireworks show that had been going on for about 15 minutes when I noticed out of my left peripheral vision a large bright orange round-except the bottom was flat-horizontal-object that was descending and heading south along the interstate at a very high rate of speed with absolutely no sound when it made a right hand "fishhook" 180` turn to the north and came to a sudden stop directly east and parallel to the fireworks and appeared to be a couple thousand feet above the fireworks, just north and west of the Sandia National Lab complex and Kirkland air base. When object 1 came to a stop and hover, a second object of the same size and color appeared to slide out from behind object 1, sliding to the west towards the fireworks. The two objects hovered for about 30 seconds and started to come north towards my location. When the two objects started to move north three more objects of the same description and slightly lower than the two original objects, one right after the other like you turned on a light and they hovered in place. As object 1 and object 2 were heading north at about half the distance between my location and the other three objects, object 1 had started to get ahead of object 2 and made an immediate right hand 90` turn with out sound, towards the Sandia mountains, just south of the radio towers on top of the mountains and shot over the mountains in a 45` degree climb on the horizon and disappeared in 3 seconds. When object one disappeared object two started to make the same right-hand turn and it then just disappeared. When objects 1 and 2 disappeared objects 3,4 and 5 hovered in place for approximately 20 additional seconds and one by one in the order they appeared disappeared as if you turned them off. This whole event took place within approximately two minutes starting at 2202 and ending at 2204. The night sky was high thin overcast with 20 plus mile visibility, winds calm at the time. No other objects/aircraft or airships were observed during this timeline of event. At 2202 on my android phone I started rerecording this event for 27 seconds. That’s when I went to get my houseguest ((male's name deleted)) to witness it. When we returned approximately 20 seconds later I started to record the event again as my phone was flashing Rec and this recording went on for about 1.5 minutes. After the event we went into the house to see the videos and for some reason the second recording was not logged on my phone. I do have the initial recording of 27 seconds, in which you can see the first object, see and hear the fireworks in the background lower right. I will attach that video to this e-mail for your review. I have been in aviation my entire 30 plus year carrier in the Airmedical/airevac field as an operations director for medical flight programs in Ohio and Florida. I am a private pilot now with hundreds of flight hours with many hours IFR and in ICM conditions. I served in the US Navy for six years starting in 1984 on the USS Lexington and USS Enterprise CVN-65 as an airman responsible for launch and recovery of aircrafts. I have also been a Paramedic for most of that time and now am a semi-retired airmedical consultant. I can affirm in my 30 plus years in aviation, I have never witnessed anything such as this event and cannot rationalize what I saw that evening. Should you or anyone from your office wish to contact me please feel free to do so at the number listed below. Thank you for your time and interest in my observation.

Harlan, KY
It started out as a circle with a red somewhere around it. It looked like a star in the sky but then I looked around and no other stars was in the sky so I watched it for about 30 minutes. It then shot straight up at a fast pace in the sky and hovered there for about 30 minutes. Then it took off going north at a very fast paced speed. Faster than anything I’ve ever seen.

My friend and I were outside and she saw the first one before I could grab my phone to get this second one. Her phone was too blurry, so I shot this one. It was a reddish orange color and didn't move like the medical helicopter or planes that sometimes fly over. We often like looking up at the sky, I am a storm spotter, and my friend identifies stars for NASA that haven't been discovered yet.

I heard people shouting on the street below. When I went to my balcony to investigate I noticed a bright circular light coming towards me from the South just below the clouds. It was a slow moving continuous bright light without flashing which is why it caught my eye. After about 5-6 seconds it suddenly curved upwards into the clouds.

Child directed my attention to an “airplane.” When I looked up, I saw a small, white, circular object hovering in the sky. It was late morning, and the sky was mostly free of clouds. The object continued to move erratically and quickly within a small area of the sky. It suddenly disappeared while I was observing.

Three small circle crafts flying close but then quickly separating. They were traveling at a pretty high altitude. One went straight up, one went far left. The lights were blinking in a line around the circle, blue, red, green. They would come close together and then dart off again. Two vaninshed and one was left. After about 1-2 minutes, the last one also vanished. They were silent.

I was driving on K18 heading towards Scenic Drive with my husband, and I noticed 4 bright orange circles. 2 were on the left side of the sky, and they were in a straight vertical line, and then the other 2 were slightly south and in the same vertical position. I pulled over to look at them and one slowly blinked out of existence and then one by one so did the rest.

Walking back to my house from my barn, I observed a round, white object hanging in the near sky above my house. I estimate the distance to be several thousand feet up in the air. A jet had passed over about 5 minutes before and was very high in the sky, unlike the object. It was high, but not like a plane. The object was bright white, or white-translucent, or oscillating. The shape was circular with a hollow center, like a donut. Also, it seemed to be hanging in the air at an angle, like you would tilt a hat on your head – it wasn’t horizontal. Direction was North, I live at the 45th parallel in what locals call ‘Northwest Lower Michigan’. The object was hanging in the air and there was no sound, and I observed it for 2 minutes when I went inside my house to get binoculars. The binoculars revealed a closer look at the object, which I estimate to be the size of a minivan. I watched the object, switching between unassisted eyesight and the binoculars for 5 minutes. Towards the end of the time I observed the object, a single red light appeared on its West facing side. I returned to my house to lay the binoculars down, and when I returned a moment later, the craft was gone. I telephoned the local Coast Guard at approximately 11:30PM the same evening, who told me “they hadn’t seen anything” and advised me to call the police. I telephoned the police non-emergency the next morning (today) and was met with similar disinterest and doubt. I Google searched ‘donut shaped UFOs’ and came across a NASA link that looks very much like what I believe I saw: https://www.express.co.uk/news/science/617569/WATCH-Now-International-Space-Station-spots-bizarre-donut-UFO-that-vanishes The weather last night was clear and warm, it was still light and no stars had yet appeared

What do y'all think this is? Saw a bright light on the sky coming and disappearing while I was in the back porch of my apartment and decided to take my phone out to record it. Keep in mind, I'm not moving my phone at all, my phone is still that thing is the one that kept moving all fast crazy. It ended up disappearing into the sky.

We seen this bright light we thought it was a plane but planes don't sit still it was about 1:47 at night when we seen the light it sat there for about 5 to 7 seconds before completely disappearing we new it wasn't any thing like a plane because when a plane disappears it takes forever and you can still see it well this thing was gone so fast it was gone and there was no light to be seen like the light faded I live by Selfridge air bass about a couple miles from there and you see a lot of military air crafts and I lived down by the area for 15 years and what I seen is definitely not military this is not a fake report I never felt so scared in my life
