I was driving yo Thanksgiving Dinner North from workman towards Roland on Barranca Ave. and noticed a low flying helicopter passing above. After it flew out of view I noticed above it three Orange , what looked like, balls of fire or glowing orbs following each other in a straight line coming from the West to the East. I pulled into the gas station parking lot and turned the video from my phone on. By that time the three objects had passed and then formed what looked like a triangle formation. After that they changed into a line from up to down and then the light changed from an Orange glow to White and each object disappeared after turning white. At the same time as this I noticed a fourth object flying almost directly over me headed in the same direction as the previous objects. This object made no sound and could almost look like it was floating along maybe catching up to the other three. I zoomed in on this object but all it looked like was a large ball of fire. When it reached the same general area as the original three it also changed from Orange to White and Blinked off or disappeared from view in the same way as the first three. The video is to long to upload so here is the link to it in my dropbox https://www.dropbox.com/s/97iiqeb0f0qve2n/VID_20211125_181025391.mp4?dl=0 It is 1 minute 20 seconds long.if you ave any questions feel free to contact me at the number I provided below.

MIDWAY ATOLL, -
North Pacific Ocean Coordinates 28 degrees12' N 177 degree 21'W Archipelago. Hawaiian Archipelago We were on Midway Atoll, aka Sand Island I was with my film crew, BBC, Nat Geo, filmmaker Tom Fitz, Kate Raisz, film producer who works for the Smithsonian Museum Natural History and Nat Geo. Fish and Wild Life Deputy Superintendent for Midway Atoll. Amanda Boyd. Ivan Vincent, US Fish and Wildlife Service Pacific Islands External Affairs. Someone said look, there's a plane. I said that is no plane. The object was moving very quickly and by the time I reached into my pocket to retrieve my iPhone it had passed us. I filmed it for more than 2 1/2 minutes but by then it was so far away. There was no sound, it moved very quickly and steadily. It appeared to be descending You can hear our comments and see the object in the video

Fireball shaped objects( very bright fire like color) took off around Simi valley/ Santa Susanna field Laboratory area and flew toward Northeast with the speed around 200-250 km/h increasing altitude until disappearing. From the visual appearance and the distance, the size of the objects could have been from 1 to 10 m in diameter. We were able to observe objects take off and steadily traveling and increasing altitude up to about 3-4km over thousand oaks/ Malibu mountains area, gradually disappearing from the visual contact. Could have been a fire balloon/light festival, but I could not find any information in the media related to the event at that date.

SAN ANTONIO, TX
I was leaving school when I spotted a huge fireball Sphere UFO hovering over the area where Lackland Airforce base is located off 410 South, it never moved, it remained stationary for a good 20 minutes. I knew it was strange because the Sun was about to set to the West of that fireball sphere. Then I looked to the West and saw 2 other fireball sphere UFOs moving in opposite directions at first, then they crossed each other like in figure eight fashion. Then I left, but saw a 4th Fireball UFO in the Southwest, between the other 3 Fireball UFOs in a stationary position as if it were backup, it was facing LAFB. I have video and pictures.

While in my bed ready to go to sleep a very bright orange light appeared outside my window. I got up and saw that the orange light was located at the top of the hills located approximately five miles south of my home. I witnessed a bright orange glowing object that resembled an intense sunrise, along with colors in the surrounding sky above. I then thought that it may have been a fire, but the orange fireball appeared to move further away from me, over and behind the hill. As this happened the light faded and the sky returned to its normal nighttime color.

I was watching television with my husband, and something caught my eye out of the large window to my left. This happens from time and time, and is typically the headlights from cars reflected off our barn, a couple hundred feet from our house. When I turned to look, I saw what looked to be a shooting star, though much larger and much closer than I had ever seen. It was also much lower down to the ground. It did have a long tail, and streaked through the air, not particularly fast, as has always been the case with other shooting stars I’ve observed in the past. It almost looked like it could’ve been a part of a firework, but no fireworks were observed or recorded in our town, or surrounding towns on this night, and there was no audible noise from fireworks, either. I also did not note it dissipating in brightness, or falling in a pattern that you would expect a firework to do. It threw me so, that I did not even get a chance to point it out to my husband, until it had disappeared from view. It flew out of my sight, obscured by our barn, but a bit farther in the background where there is a few miles of wetlands and forest brush. My check or local social networking groups yielded no other reports (where everything and anything is typically reported). I kept an eye out for the remainder of the evening, but did not see anything else. I also did not leave my house to investigate any further. Probably unrelated, but worth noting was that the next morning there were dozens of vultures all over town, which seemed surprising to everyone, and has never happened before in the time that we’ve lived here.

My neighbors called me to come outside and see what's going on and there were around 30 bell shaped fiery objects in a pyramid formation over southern sky in direction of vail arizona. First there were around 30 objects just hovering in one place not moving then most just dissapeared without moving and 12 stayed in a pyramid formation then slowly one by one they dimmed and dissapeared until only one left then all were gone. None of the pbject moved very much and did not move like anything i have ever seen. Also there was no airplanes flying at all for hours after and all the antennas and towers that have blinking lights all malfunctioned none were blinking during or afterwards. They were not comets they did not move like comets nor like satellite.

Fireball appeared to expand and retract fading from bright orange to yellowish white, darting multi-directionally for (+\-) 45 seconds. There was very light perception and cloud coverage that night over the golf course but visually clear to make out as an entirely unusual object whose presence was undoubtedly “different”.

I downloaded the video for you here. In the moment I didn't see multiple possible crafts. I only saw the bright fireball like thing, that's why I zoomed in so much on it. But if you slow down the video in the very beginning you can see zigzagging flashing lights in the top right corner. It seems as if the bright red light is heading towards the flashing lights. This was almost a year ago and I finally decided to try and report it.

Wellton, AZ
On October 16, 2021 at approximately 6:20 a.m. while traveling on Interstate 8 between Yuma, AZ and Wellton, AZ I saw the following in the sky. I had just come down out of telegraph pass, pass the Ligurta turnoff (21) and I saw an object in the sky making a streak of light. It was not as fast as a shooting star but it was much faster than an F35. The sun had not yet crested over the mountains to the east (Mohawk range) but it was dawn and someone light outside. The streaking object began to turn green. After looking at a color chart I would say "Spring Green." The trajectory started changing into a downward position as if it were going to crashland. The object grew brighter and more intense. It was just a bright flame of green light at that time. Perhaps I watch too much television because I was expecting it to explode or create a plume of smoke and dirt upon impact. That didn't happen. It just appeared to burn out quickly and was gone. ! The entire event took seven seconds. I suspect it was something entering our atmosphere and was not as close to the earth as I believed it to be. Had it followed the trajectory it woudl have landed North or Northeast of Wellton, AZ.

Taken from my post on reddit's r/ufos sub: This took place last night, about 2:40 AM CST, in rural Greene County, MO. I was outside smoking a cigar in the middle of the night in front of my garage, which faces my neighbor's woods. Kept seeing bright lights through the trees, which is very abnormal. The brush and canopy are thick and it's tough to see anything through them even in the day. Looked like two lights to me. I went toward the treeline and started thinking it was a car on the road parked on the hill outside my driveway. Turned back to the garage and quickly grabbed protection (an axe handle, about baseball-bat shaped) because I thought it was a potential robbery. Nobody would ever park on that hill unless they were trying to hide from being seen. Went back, watched more, just had the sensation something wasn't right. The lights kept getting brighter. I went inside, grabbed my phone (Pixel 3 XL), and came back and started recording, and was still thinking it was a car on the road. As I walked down my driveway I realized it clearly wasn't. I realized what I was looking at was above my other neighbor's property across the street. A big field with a few trees deep in it. At first it was one bright solid light, but as I moved toward my garbage dumpster, it came into view as several other lights. For some reason I started thinking it was a fire in the sky. Couldn't make sense of it. Just kept recording and watching it for about 10 minutes. It seemed to get dimmer, then brighter. I couldn't figure out the shape. Only after watching the video did I realize that it seems to have been several different objects. My guess is three. After a while, one disappeared, which made the overall appearance dimmer. Bit later, another disappeared, leaving just a single glowing orb. Should've mentioned earlier that these primarily appeared red-orange to me, but the color absolutely shifted. They/it were solid white like a star at one point. Then, the last one rather than simply disappearing seemed to quickly fly off. I couldn't upload to imgur. No clue why. I'll post imgbb links in a comment as well. Postimages claims to not resize or degrade: Postimages album: https://postimg.cc/gallery/JHMjGRg The video I have is 3.8 GiB. My connection sucks. I have no way to upload it without re-encoding it, so I made an album instead. In the video, I zoomed in and out for perspective, but also lost it several times as I had to change position or was observing it without thinking much about recording. Video was taken on a Pixel 3 XL using Lineage. Screenshots were taken from mpv while rewatching the video on PC.

It was a floating orange fireball that would intensify and then dim. It did this a few times and got real bright and disappeared. It was silent.

Saw 4 green fireballs falling close together. They were extremely close like the distance an airplane isafter takeoff/before landing. . I srsly thought they were going to hit a building. Went out of sight behind trees.

The object was round and it looked like an orb or fireball, it had green color to it like a weld spark. I saw it for about 5 seconds when it disappeared into the woods. At the moment of the event there was no sound of anything that hit the ground. It just disappeared.

I was in my back yard looking straight west. I saw a very bright light just above the horizon. I thought at first it was a plane considering we live in a fly zone and within 15 min of a large airport and 5 mins from a small airport. I put my thumb over it and closed one eye thinking the light would move past my thumb, but that never happened. Then I thought we’ll maybe that’s Mars. We live out in the country away from city lights, so we can see a lot of stars and planets. I tried to dismiss it but after a few minutes I started to realize that this was something that didn’t make sense to me. I couldn’t process what I was seeing. I knew it wasn’t a planet, star, or plane because there is an overcast tonight and I can only see clouds. There was only 1 light and it glimmered… sometimes it was slight reddish/orange, then it would be a bright white that flickered. After what I think was 4-5 mins it instantly disappeared. I went inside to tell my wife shortly afterwards. This happened to me 30-35 mins ago.

There were fireball/ circle shapes hovering in the sky. Then 3 of them froze in place making a bright triangle formation. It then rotated about 3 times and then eventually dispersed. Have video that I will upload. There were a lot of them.

As I was driving northbound on 35w at 1:58am 2 miles south of downtown, a reddish pink glowing ball intensified and became very bright over the NE downtown area. It was moving horizontally, then a small red light came out from the main bright light, and went downward. The bright reddish/pink light faded out into a yellowish color as it travelled eastward horizontally. This light appeared too bright to be some sort of drone, and it's elevation was approx 1,000 ft to 2,000 ft.

Was sitting talking, windows were still open, clear night no clouds but was dark - I was facing the window listening to friend talk when I saw a flash of light, and looked and there was a ball of green light with an aura of lighter green surrounding it fully 'dropping' straight down - it didn't drop not fast like a meteor or falling star, but also was not slow. As it dropped there was a light 'tail' that was short but disappeared as it moved. I tried to make sense and then said "oh my God - check that out" and my friend turned but it disappeared into a nearby large forested area off the Willamette River; it could not be seen due to the trees not because it faded out - looked as if it were ~ 5 miles away, not too far.

I went out to the front of my residence for a smoke. Was enjoying that first breath of what felt like fall and noticed that the night sky was clear the way it is during autumn. I noticed a spherical object moving across the night sky. At first I figured, "Oh its one of those star-link satellites...I haven't seen one of those in a while." So I preceded to observe it. Then I noticed it wasn't moving in a straight path. It was moving in a wavy type path. I thought, "man it would sure be nice if it got a little brighter," as it would be easier to see (it looked like a moving star). As soon as that thought entered my mind, it began to pulse. It would brighten up and then dim. Then something drew my attention away from the sky. I turned to look behind me and all of a sudden a series of colorful plasma type orbs phased in about 40 yards away from me. There was one large one followed by two more that were slightly smaller. They were completely silent and then emitted this rainbow like color with a light purple aura. They traveled completely straight for about 3 seconds and then faded out and disappeared. Several nearby dogs began howling and barking as soon as the plasma orbs faded out. The whole thing happened too fast for me to whip out my phone and start snapping photos. I was AWESTRUCK. The craft in the sky was definitely in space or upper atmosphere while the plasma orbs were no higher than the neighbors cherry tree and no larger than an orange or small melon. Ten minutes after this happened, I saw 2 black helicopters flying low over a nearby neighborhood. They looked like black hawk helicopters. It was night so I can't be certain, but by their size and shape, they were definitely military. These helicopters were flying in circles around my neighborhood and other nearby neighborhoods. There were also a couple aircraft flying above my area doing laps. I live near a local commercial airport so the air traffic control tower could have had them flying in a holding pattern. Still, it seemed like a strange coincidence that military helicopters, that never fly around here, all of a sudden show up and start circling around the area after this happened.
