This object was observed for 15 minutes by myself, my wife and a family friend. The object was very high in altitude when compared to aircraft flying overhead (compared to transient aircraft at high altitude, NOT compared to local aircraft on approach/departure from BDL approx 10 SSW of our location. The object was first observed by myself almost due north of us, and pointed out to my wife and friend. The object appeared to be spherical in shape however due to the brightness of the object no true discernable outline was visible. The weather was hot and humid with slight haze. The object was only visible while wearing sunglasses, with sunglasses off the object was unable to be seen. It was however, bright and had an almost mirror like shine to it. It did not appear to be moving at all in reference to nearby inanimate structures. There were 60 to 70 foot trees approximately 100 yards in front of us, the object was roughly three hand widths above the tree line. The intensity of the light did not fade or increase throughout the sighting. We were actually in an amusement park ride line when it was spotted. After completing the ride we were unable to find the object again. About the closest thing I could compare this to would be viewing a planet such as Venus at dusk, again however it was mid-day. Unfortunately due to the fact we were at an amusement/water park, none of us had our cell phones on us.

At 22:20, 07.19.2018 a friend and I were standing in my front yard, when I looked up and saw a single red glowing orb traversing the sky in a NNE direction. It appeared maybe to be at 2,000 to 3,000 feet up, moving at 100 to 150 mph. We watched this go straight for several minutes until it faded out of view. It changed direction slightly with a right/left turn, but continued on in its original direction. As we were discussing what we had seen, another red orb appeared 11 minutes later. This one was much higher (30,000 to 40,000 feet) and going much faster, twice as fast as a high-altitude airliner, and going in an ENE direction. Again, we watched this until it faded from view over the horizon. They didn't appear to HAVE lights on them...they WERE their own lights, glowing.

Montello, WI
On July 18, 2018, we had left a Montello, Wisconsin gas station where I had zeroed out the trip meter after filling up. My two teenage sons and I were heading back to our vacation cabin. At about 3 miles out of Montello, going south on Marquette County Highway C, I spotted an apparently stationary, dark and round, very unusual object over the distant tree line a mile or two away. It was perfectly round, dark and dull as smoke. I remember so well that it was as round as a BB. It was not swaying. It seemed to be hovering in place oblivious to wind and gravity. My son in the back seat asked for my cell phone so that he could take pictures of it. He took four pictures from back there. The pictures also recorded the digital instrument panel of our car. The car was traveling 42 miles per hour. The first picture was taken at 4.1 miles on the trip meter; the other three pictures occurred at 4.2 miles. My cell phone camera distorts distances. The tree line and UFO appear much farther away. To find them they are always in the center of the pictures. In the first picture they are between the lone tree and small group of trees in the foreground. The image upon magnification is pixelated and displays a more saucer-shaped UFO. Upon magnification the smaller companion looks more like a toy “top” shape with its narrow point aiming downward, but its behavior does not suggest a hot air balloon, due to the speed that it moved. The tree line in the pictures changes in the photos relative to our speed. The UFOs remain at the same angle to the car; in other words, stationary, compared to the trees. At 4.1 miles the smaller companion object is to the right of the larger stationary one. The trip meter is at 4.2 miles in picture 2 when the companion object is above the stationary UFO. Under magnification of the last two pictures, even though the mileage reading was still 4.2, faint dark patches suggest that the companion was left of the object. No such darkened pixelated areas exist in the first two pictures; in fact, windshield residue of a couple of water droplets are identifiable on the glass. To the naked eye the larger UFO stood out very odd and clear. My decision was to keep going, clear the tree line. In a few miles there would be an eastbound change in the highway also and a clear view to the south. But once we reached the tree line the road S-curved, and there were trees we could not see through. It was only a few more minutes until we had cleared all the trees of roadside forest and had a full view of the sky in all directions, including back to the north. The sky however was void of any unidentifiable objects in the sky. We looked for it as we drove east too, but the sky was empty of machines.

Warwick, RI
I was doing the backyard thing, grilling, approximately 6 PM, evening, sunny, blue skies, 80 degrees, when, out of the corner of my eye, I notice three orange balls of light approaching over my shoulder. These things weren’t little paper lanterns, you know, like the ones that you guys keep reporting on. These lights weren’t that stuff drifting way up there in the sky. Nothing like that, these suckers were big, okay, easily 50 feet in diameter, and they’re making their way slowly past me. I don’t know, maybe three or four hundred feet above me and off to my left. And I was thinking, shit, these things are for real. No sound, perfectly quiet, and they had this majestic, almost stately, quality about them. So I’m calling my wife, you know, because she’s gotta come out and see this, and I don’t know where the hell she is, the living room, the kitchen, whatever. So I just did the next thing that came to my mind and stood there and took off my oven mitt and saluted these things. Seriously, does the government have any idea what’s going on in the airspace above this country? I mean, these things looked like they were the ones in charge as they slowly made their way toward Greenwich Bay. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

While sitting on the back porch looking at the night sky I noticed a very bright white round object In the sky. It wasn’t high enough to be a star or planet. I intently studied its position in the sky and it remained stationary. After a few minutes, the light quickly became small and disappeared from sight only to appear again about 2 minutes later in the same location. It did that a few mores times and then quickly disappeared for good. I took pictures and they show a round circular object that had an outside ring with a circular object inside of it. The photo also showed round white orbs in the lower corner which I don’t recall even seeing at the time. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) You are right about it being Venus. I took a picture tonight of Venus in western sky and it had the same ring affect in picture. Thank You for your explanation. ((name deleted)) ((END ADDENDUM))

Two rapidly moving spheres traveling from North to South over Anna Maria Island. Left no contrails, no sound, and no visible lights. Appeared slightly fuzzy, almost as if out of focus, if viewing through a camera. No pics or video, unfortunately. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Back then there was no cell only beepers and the second time i was in shock i couldnt move bcz i wanted to keep my eyes on them.the! metalic spheres had to come across jfk airport i know they saw sometging tbey were flying very low.

At 22:30, 07.15.2018 I noticed an object traversing the sky in a Northerly direction. A red glowing orb, with a smaller blue glowing orb trailing slightly behind. The blue orb appeared to erratically circle around the path of the larger, red orb, but both were tracking nearly due north. As they approached the path of a high-altitude airliner, the orbs slowed substantially, and veered around behind the path of the airplane, then continued on their original northerly direction. These objects seemed to be flying at an altitude similar to high-flying commercial aircraft, but would have been MUCH larger than a large airplane, and were travelling much faster than the airplane. Thursday night, 07/19/2018, two single red orbs were seen, 11 minutes apart, and observed by myself and another person. Will report separately.

Portland, ME
At approximately 10:30 PM Eastern Standard Time (3:30 AM UTC) two fast-moving objects were spotted in the sky directly above Portland, Maine. The two objects initially followed identical linear trajectories through the night sky, separated by about 5 degrees of arc, coming into sight directly overhead. The two lights were point-source, with brightness similar to a dim star. At an incredibly high altitude, the fast-movers paralleled each other with great velocity – much faster than any satellite could travel while still maintaining orbit, and much faster than any known commercial or military aircraft. Around 4 to 5 seconds after visual contact was established, the two objects immediately jutted to the left and to the right to cross paths with each other moments later. The movement was seemingly impossible and violated laws of conservation of momentum, as an extremely large external force must’ve been present in order to move them in such a way. After crossing! paths, the two objects returned to their original distance of separation and, with the same seemingly-impossible course correction, returned to their linear trajectories. Two other witnesses and myself maintained visual contact until light pollution from the nearby city of Portland caused us to lose contact. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach me at this email or contact ((name and # deleted)) We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite sober-minded. PD

Rutland, OH
Sometime in July 2018 in Rutland, Meigs County, Ohio. In the sky above my property was a Formation of what looked like stars moving through the sky slowly. They appear to look like stars in the sky but they are not. They are capable of expanding in size, yellowish orange in color. From a distance they look like stars but at close range they look like an Orb of Light or some type of Being that changes in shape and size. These Ufo's do Not look mechanical or machine like. I have first seen these Ufo's in 2013. They seem to follow me. Anyhow, summer of 2018, I heard noise on my roof. I locked the doors and looked out my peep hole and seen what I believe to be one of the Grey Aliens looking at the door. The weird thing was that this left a green glowing light from itself. I had a family member look through peep hole to see if they could see it and the only thing they were able to see was the Green light. This light had no point of direction. Later on that summer seen some short 2 dimensional Aliens in my house. I was only able to see these particular ones only when I looked through a small magnifying glass. I have had a lot of strange experiences throughout my Life with Demonic Entities from other Dimensions.

Walked outside of trailer , was having a cigarette, looked up and saw 4-5 round glowing craft ….they were not drones …it was a super clear night ….they were just above the tree line hovering …. Staying in the same area , I alerted my buddy , he also saw the lights , they made no sound , I had no weird feeling only that I should look up for some odd reason …I checked my flight radar app , no planes were in the area …nothing with transponder , again no sound , no smell , just hovering about 100-200 foot off the ground …. Afterwards they took off towards sydney ….heavily wooded area … lack of cell phone reception , and abandoned mines in the area ….I am sure what I saw was something weird ….the red color of the ball type craft was almost glowing from the middle out …if it had an engine sound I would have heard it ….if it had propulsions I would have saw them , the conditions this day was extremely clear skies …..not a cloud in sight, 20 odd degrees celcius , around 11pm or 12 am , the moon was over head , no wind, I know whatever they were …..they were small ….because I couldn't get a clear shot with my phone video or camera….I was using a digital zoom and all I could see was a weird almost flashing but changing hues of red …. But with the naked eye we could see the crafts hang out … I never saw them again ….this is the second time in 14-15 years I have saw similar craft …. Other time being off the coast of Glace Bay We at the time were doing work on my buddies property , its remote, it's in the woods , has neighbours that mostly stay indoors or seasonal campers …no one was on that street with any kind of drone or kites I would have heard the tree branches shifting in the wind ,or the displacement of the turbines … It was weird ….and at the time we were camping in the old trailer and , we were setting up a 12 volt battery bank ,that was when I noticed a problem with our power set up ….we were off grid at the time using gasoline generator placed outside the trailer up the driveway in a generator box …..its almost silent inside …..but we could not keep our power equipment going that night in particular ….we had to use the jeep's alternator hooked up with jumper cables to keep it running that night …..as our regular generator was not working …. I would say similar size as the one reported off glace bay , Round ball(s) × 4-6 in total at one time 100-200 foot off ground Hovering ,red solid light and at times glowing a red mystical style Then they all took off at one time together towards Sydney, passing over big ridge , and french village area I do not know if it was one singular craft with lights in parallel ….or a series of small craft ….. Duration of light orbs maybe 10 minutes then at a speed similar to that of a fighter jet ….took off …without moving the trees , it's all pine trees and douglas fire …..I also didn't smell anything, or notice a jet stream or trail ….I didn't even notice any doors , windows, anything ….it was just like lights

We traveled south about 30 miles and by 9pm it was directly above us. The local news agency, ktvz, told me that they saw it in one of their weather cams but had no idea what it was. A few other people reported it to ktvz as well.

Delaware, OH
Came out to my back patio and looked up at the stars as I often do because I live in the country. I saw a bright red orb traveling west to east, went back inside to get my binoculars and when I came back out it was gone. It must have picked up speed greatly. Because during the 5-10 seconds I was observing it the speed was constant. It took me probably 5 seconds to get my binoculars off the keyrack and I have a wide view range of the sky it is a clear night, so it must have increased its speed tremendously, in the time it took me to open my back door and grab my binoculars. I don't think it was the ISS as it was on the other side of the planet at that time.

Garrison, NY
This was a brief but very interesting sighting. I live in a valley. Our house sits about halfway up on one of the sides. It was summer and was bedtime. I was getting ready for bed and my wife had already gotten into bed with the lights out. As I was walking through the bedroom, I caught a glimpse of two golden orange orbs floating through the valley. They were next to each other and I am telling you, they were going for a little exploration together or something of the like. I explain in other orb stories that I have written that; the orbs have a personality; you notice it immediately. You can almost “see” their character. It’s as if they were going on a stroll together up the valley and conversing along the way. Their movement was at a slow pace and not so much in a straight line, kind of wavey. I would estimate that their size was about the size of a volleyball. The light was not that bright, it was more of a glow. The window That I was looking out at them! through was small, so I lost view of them as they traveled past quite quickly. I ran into the other room to try and see them but lost sight of them.

I witnessed a black sphere hovering and slowly moving in the distance high up in the sky and about 10 miles away. As I told my friend to look at it, it was too far for my friend to see it his vision was not as good as mine. It was dark clouds all over the sky. The sphere was just below the high dark clouds. Then it began to rain and thunder.

Called my wife to have a look. It carried on moving. It then appeared to move away. I went inside when I came back it was there again.

The sphere had lights rotating around the edge. Was headed eastward through downtown. Once it passed town, it casually veered dorectly north, till it disappeared out of view. The object made no sound. When i first seen the object it was so low to the ground I thought for sure it was going to land. But it never did. It definitely was not a helicopter, or a airplane.

Madras (?), OR
We live in Vancouver, Washington, and there is a very large, orange, round ball in the the sky that looks like it is maybe over Madras, or between Madras and Troutdale, Oregon. This is VERY large, if you consider how far away we are, because it's fairly large from where we are seeing it. It has been in the same exact spot for at least 20 minutes now, and has not moved at all. We know it's not a star, as it is a totally different color than ANY of the other stars, and is much lower on the horizon than any of the stars. It's just hanging in the sky. Mars. PD

Gloucester, MA
While standing on the Ipswich Bay side of Cape Ann, looking towards Crane Beach, we saw one bright sphere about 3 times the size of Venus that hovered low over the horizon, at about the level of Venus. Suddenly, there were 2 spheres, side-by-side. The more southern one slowly drifted at a constant level and speed in a Southerly direction. The original sphere did not move, but another sphere appeared beside it and followed in the same path as the second sphere. This continued for about an hour. We lost count, but there must have been at least 10 spheres that followed the same pattern. There were usually 2-3 spheres moving before they were lost to our sight due to trees. Only one sphere started to move in a more northerly direction, before turning to circle around the original sphere and then continuing in a southerly direction. A few of the spheres had a reddish hue, some seemed to fade and decrease in size. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

In Prospect Park, my wife and I saw a sphere like object slowly move across the sky. It was stationary for long periods in the sky as well. My wife saw a accompanying red light in the moments the object was going further away. Interestingly, we also saw a jet
