Herald Harbor, MD
Awakened by an extremely loud noise. Sounded like a jet airplane was slowly crashing into my house. Went to back deck, looked up. In the air saw three white lights and one red light. What appeared to be a search light beam shining horizontally into the night sky. VERY LOUD, noise filled the entire neighborhood. Like nothing I've ever heard before. Did not sound like a helicopter. For the first four minutes of sighting, it hung suspended in the air about 1000 feet up, perfectly still. Then moved very, very slowly directly overhead. A crescent shaped body of the craft appeared to reflect off the four lights. It slowly moved west, circled back and flew directly overhead again, a little higher up and a little faster, then flew west again and disappeared.

I first saw this object out the corner of my eye. It was falling from space and burning up. As it fell it kept breaking apart. I knew it wasn't a meteor. The tail was short, orange, red and yellow in color. The main objects were white hot. It disappeared or burned up after about 30 seconds. I called NBC Charlotte that morning around 0900. They said I was the only person to report it. Someone mentioned a SpaceX launch in Florida that blew up the day before. I thought it was space debris, but now I'm thinking it was a booster falling out of orbit. Confirmed satellite re-entry. PD

Wadley, GA
On 28 June, 2015, at about 5pm my family and I departed from Richmond Hill, GA, on our long road trip to Colorado Springs, CO, where I will be stationed as an active duty Army senior NCO. Prior to leaving I bought a brand new GPS navigation unit and we tested it out in town prior to our trip knowing it worked well. Our navigation unit directed us toward Augusta, GA. Our kids fell asleep at about 9pm. At precisely 01:28am 29 June 2015 on HWY 1 south heading north approximately 7-8 miles south of a gas station at 10525 HWY 1 south, Wadley, GA, 30477. Our radio began to get real static so I turned it down when my wife noticed a very large object flying left to right coming toward us. I looked up to the left and hit my brakes stopping our truck to the side of the road. The object appeared to be approximately 250 meters in length 60 meters height and was approximately flying 200 feet in altitude and was spurting sparks from the rear of the object. The sparks were jetting out about 50-80 meters in a pattern of controlling thrust. My wife and I had a very good look at the object closer than anyone else on that highway considering there was no vehicles in sight. The object had a dim glow of a orange around it, vague but noticeable. The objects exterior was metallic but appeared to look like oil on water effect to it and appeared to be fluid like movement over the metallic body of the object. My wife and I watched in disbelief in what we were witnessing as it moved left to right the object decreased in altitude as it was over the highway then began to increase in altitude after it crossed the highway right overhead of us. We watched as it increased in altitude and penetrated some clouds and accelerated out of sight through the cloud cover quickly. I got back on the road and processed down the highway way feeling a bit shook up with a mild headache trying debunk what it might have been. Too fast for a blimp, too slow for airplanes, no sound but mild humming, too big to be any aircraft or helicopter, and so on. About 4-5 miles further up the road a semi truck had stopped on the side of the road on the southbound lanes and a car with a guy getting back in their car as they saw what we saw. I stopped at the first gas station on the right and told the guy there what we saw and bought a few things to proceed on our road trip. An hour later our navigation system malfunctioned telling us we were at our final destination in the middle of nowhere at a church. My wife mentioned that we have been driving 9 hours which steamed to me to be a long time for the amount distance we cover. I stopped and powered it down and reset it to Colorado Springs. We got back on track and we stopped to sleep in north Atlanta area just after 6am. My stomach was upset and I did not sleep well nor did my wife. We got up late afternoon and got back on the road. 6 hours after being on the road my trucks transmission began acting up and we had stopped. I messed around with changing my truck's transmission settings through all the functions for about 15 minutes and it eventually corrected itself. I have had on an off headaches and upset stomach since witnessing this object. My truck has been acting odd as well, check engine oil level, check engine, and a large chip in the windshield not noticed before. I have receipts and time lines. I am capable of drawing and painting a visual representation of what we saw but my art supplies are packed away until we find a home to buy so I’m limited as to what I can do for the time being. The image of that object is vivid in my mind to good detail so I will have produce a visual reference at a later time. Please keep in mind I am active duty military. I’m speaking of this only because I have not yet been told not to and forced to sign non disclosure orders as I have been forced to in the past. My MOS has presented me with more than a few of incidents in similar situations. I have always had been approached and forced to sign the nondisclosure orders. If you need anything else someone needs to get here and talk to me soon. Thanks! ((ADDENDUM FROM MR. TED MOLCZAN, SATELLITE TRACKER)) Hello Peter, I received the meteor camera data this morning. A quick review indicates that the re-entry passed roughly 3 to 4 min. earlier than I had estimated from the orbital data. This reduces the discrepancy between the reported time of the sighting and re-entry to about 1 to 2 min. Taking into account the Earth's rotation relative the trajectory, the earlier passage shifted the track closer to the witness, resulting in roughly a 10 to 15 deg higher elevation above the horizon than in my earlier estimate. Therefore, their view of the event was even better than my earlier estimate. I hope to complete a more thorough analysis of the meteor data in the coming weeks, but I do not expect the results to materially affect my finding that the re-entry is the most probable cause of the UFO sighting. Regards, Ted ((END ADDENDUM)) We suspect the sighting was of a re-entering Russian satellite. See comment, submitted by Mr. Ted Molczan, satellite tracker, that appears at the end of the report below. PD

Huntsville (Owens Cross Roads), AL
My wife and I saw something burning and leaving burning parts behind it as it flew in a trajectory parallel to the ground. We've seen meteors falling before, but this seemed to be flying much more slowly, closer to us, and very large. We stopped the car near our home in Owens Cross Roads, AL. The object or objects were in the sky to the east, moving right to left, south to north, at about 10 degrees up in the sky. My wife got out with her i-Phone and tried to film it, but because it was so dark, the camera would not focus. Towards the end of the trajectory, before the stream of fiery objects went behind trees in the distance, we saw one particularly big piece light up into a huge yellow flame. We tried calling 911 but they were too focused on their script and were no help. We called local police, but they just said they'd "check into it." It would be good if other people reported seeing the same thing, and if we could determine what it was. We really hope it was not an airplane. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) We're near Huntsville in Northern Alabama, not far from the Tennessee border. Not sure whether someone in NC or Georgia could have seen what we saw...it would depend on the time. If they said 1:30 am, then it was probably the same thing (0030 Alabama (CST) time + 1 = 0130 EST). ((END ADDENDUM))

Floral Park, NY
Upon entering my backyard after going shopping, my wife and I spotted this object floating low in the sky. To me it looked like a seahorse/drone-ish looking type thing, it was black. It's really hard to describe it. I have pictures and video to back up what we saw. The object first went north then headed east as it slowly climbed into the sky. I followed it using binoculars as it floated off to the east until I couldn't see it anymore. It also appeared to change shapes. At first I considered it to be balloons, but even upon looking at the pictures the object doesn't look like a balloon at all. Made no noise. I'm puzzled.

fairly slow lumbering flight path east to west then finally west to east and I look away for just a bit then it was not in sight. (went above clouds I presume) at one point when I noted the Very distant V shape (as in that typed letter) it did a slow rotation or 2 while hovering in one spot. Color: good question I saw it as black and or possibly orange/white – perhaps due to sun reflections on it?? Other witness when she finally came out side said black. it did a 2nd hovering after I believe it was when it went from west to east. when I first saw it I thought it was an airplane in the distance. then possibly drone, or hang glider or something.. that broke free and was floating around. but it went against the cloud direction when it went east to west. and it was too far away and too high up to start with from initial sighting to farthest west sighting to be a Civilian RC or drone. its Sharp V shape would not be of Any benefit to the slow speed and hovering it did. there may be little more I can say or not I did not grab my camera when it was in the position of best view.. then I put the first battery in it and it did not work.. (rechargeable and stored charged even) Ignore the pictures timestamp I don’t keep batteries in my camera and seldom use it. time taken I can calculate it if needed but just hoping others reported the same thing. or an explanation - Please fill me in. the picture does not look at all like what I saw. I saw no lights or anything. when it hovered and rotated. I simply saw a “V” just about like that one. cannon eos 40D 28-135 AF IS. if needed please use my email to contact me especially if there is an explanation or others that reported it. this is not a crack letter though I do expect there must be an explanation as I would liked to have seen something of this nature. ( to Know ) and I am outside often looking up. Oh yea, Vancouver Washington USA aprox 1-2 pm 6-27-2015 ( sober ) thanks

On june 27 2015 was headed south on highway 91 from albany ga to newton ga when we observed an orange colored light in the sky area where the light was seen was south of albany airport just past where highway 91 and highway 62 meet at first it was assumed to be an aircraft with landing light on but it never moved as we drove closer some white color lights where also seen on its side we could see which was to our right as we came almost parallel to it some struture of some kind could be seen behind the lights as they were so bright they obstructed viewing the what i would call the front of the craft but the back end was not so brightly illuminated and it looked like a tube shaped craft made of polished metal almost mirror like that came to a point on its end like a ball point pen there was no tail fin or wings and it made no sounds of an engine or helocopter blades turning just dead silent hovering about 150 feet above the ground and about 200 yards off highw! ay 91 to our right side of our vehicle as we past it we decided to turn around and try to get pictures of it we turned into a road and backed up to go back to albany and the object with all its lights was gone no where to be seen in the distance it took us around 60 seconds to turn around afterwards we continued on our way south on highway 91

Catalina Island, CA
Sat on the beach with my wife at Desconso Bay on Fri June 26, 2015, and approx 200ft directly above us, saw what appeared to be a drone hovering. Didn't think anything unusual until it took off directly out to sea (Easterly) at a speed that I would imagine to be too great for a civilian use drone. It also continued until it was out of sight - I was under the impression that civilian use drones had to be used "within sight" as per FAA regulations - and I don't know what civilian use radio signal could possibly go that distance? I am an aircraft mechanic an hold a Sports Pilot License and have no explanation as to what this could be...

I was out at work on 06/26/15 when something told me to look up. I'm a Security officer and always on the graveyard shift. So anyways, I looked up. I saw a very bright red light, in the middle of nowhere. I even took 3 pictures of it. None of the pictures are perfectly clear however. I do my rounds every hour. I went out at 3:25 am to check the area. That's when I saw this thing. So I keep my eye on it for roughly 4 mins. Then my phone rang. It was my sergeant calling, so I answer and look back up but it was gone. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Banks, OR
This craft was in the sky moving South East to east. It wasn't shaped like any I've seen before. It was rounded on the top but flat on the bottom and slightly elongated. The movement was fluid, like it morphed forward similar to how a worm moves, but the body rolled forward like liquid rather than being propelled along. It moved faster than a helicopter at the height about where a small plane would fly. I spotted it because I was looking at all the chemtrails they were spraying in the sky that day. The object moved right to left, there was no sound and no wings on the object. This object seemed to be like a short bus rather than a saucer. There was no lights on the object but the sun was reflecting off it. (This is the second UFO I've spotted in this same section of sky. The first was different looking than this one though and I will file a separate report for that sighting.) I ran in to grab a camera but got back just in time to see the object vanish behind a cloud. The cloud it went behind was wispy, not the sort of cloud you would think could hide a UFO.

Ogilvie, MN
An object appeared above and in front of me as I was taking some time to watch the Aurora Borealis. It made no sound and made a wavering path initially West and then ending up heading Northwest. The main object appeared round, but seemed to have a significant electrical charge as the object had a surrounding cloud or sphere of charged particles that was roughly half the diameter of the moon with the brighter center portion being about as bright as Jupiter initially and comparable for relative size from my vantage point. It appeared to moving within the Aurora Borealis as the sky itself was clear, but the cloud of particles (assumed) is what made it distingly different as the visible stars and planets did not have that hazy appearance about them. The center slowly faded in intensity at about the halfway point of it being visible, but the cloud remained illuminated of about the same color as the Aurora Borealis until it moved into a curtain of aurora as b! right as the object was. The object appeared to be moving at about half the speed of a satellite if not slower due to the duration. Its appearance initially as I faced it would have been about 30 degrees above the horizon, and when it disappeared it would have been about 45 degrees from the ground from my vantage point. ((NOTE FROM MR. TED MOLCZAN)) Hello Peter, Your hunch probably is correct. The Sentinel 2A satellite was launched on a Vega rocket from the Guiana Space Center, last night at 9:52 PM EDT (Jun 23 01:52 UTC). Coverage of the launch was here: http://spaceflightnow.com/2015/06/22/vv05-mission-status-center/ SeeSat-L received several reports of sightings near 23:49 EDT (3:49 UTC), of what appears to have been exhaust from the final burn of the Vega rocket's AVUM liquid fueled upper stage. That burn lowered the perigee to ensure that the object decays from orbit within a reasonable time, in order to curb the growth of space debris. http://satobs.org/seesat/Jun-2015/0193.html http://satobs.org/seesat/Jun-2015/0194.html http://satobs.org/seesat/Jun-2015/0195.html http://satobs.org/seesat/Jun-2015/0198.html http://satobs.org/seesat/Jun-2015/0199.html Marco Langbroek blogged his analysis: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.nl/2015/06/aurora-hunter-images-last-moments-of.html Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Deptford, NJ
I was walking to my car at B & N in Deptford around 10 am. I noticed a black V-shaped object approaching somewhat below the clouds. It was either spinning or appeared to be shifting/dipping side to side. I stood at my vehicle and kept looking up at the object. I didn't know if it could be a drone? It was pretty high up. But the blackness of object was very dark/deep toned. I didn't hear any noise emitting from the object. I wasn't sure if it was something that fell off of an aircraft by the way it was not only propelling forward but spinning or dipping side to side. I climbed into my vehicle not sure if it was some type of debris falling. I then tried to locate it again by looking up through the car windshield, but couldn't visually locate object again.

Webster, NY
Sitting outside at a small neighborhood pier, my friend and I spotted a flying object in the sky that was flying remarkably low. At first it was very far away, and it looked like it could be a small plane, but it was moving pretty fast. Shortly after we mentioned how low it was flying, and how quickly it was moving. It turned directly toward us. It mostly just looked like a large ray of light and its speed picked up even faster. At that point we started to run. I looked back as we were running to see where it was in the sky, and the object appeared to be dome-shaped with some formational lights located under the main light source – my friend says she saw 4 lights in particular – and it was extremely close to us; not shining any beams but simply progressing in our direction. We ran until it was out of sight, and it seemed to have just disappeared into the sky. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

On June 16, 2015, flashing round yellow lights were observed high up in eastern sky which were much too big and too close to be stars, and were first seen at 10pm that disappeared quickly at 5am when the large one that was higher up than the others quickly brightened to a glowing orange increasing in size about 4-5 times larger and instantly darted straight up disappearing with no sound. During the time from 10pm until 5am many round yellow lights, that were smaller than the big light, which had been changing positions quickly then disappeared quietly after the larger one left. During the entire seven hours yellow balls of light would shoot down to the ground continuously from the round yellow balls of light in the sky, one ball of yellow light came quietly from one yellow ball of light in the sky rotating first one and then the next one never coming down more than one at a time. Each time these lights came to the ground it looked look as if giant fire flies about 2” in diameter were coming down but they never flickered as the light was steady. When the light reached a tree, a building or the ground there was no longer a light. The lights came in the same pattern each time, a light to the distant trees on the left, a light to the distant trees on the right, a light to the distant trees in the center, then a light to the nearby trees on the left, a light to the nearby trees on the right, then the rotation started over. When the large light brightened to orange and darted up after which the yellow balls of light disappeared, the yellow balls of light were observed in the northern sky sending yellow balls of light to the ground in a similar pattern seen over another housing property. When daylight occurred on June 17, 2015, the yellow lights were no longer visible. (( Witness describes self as an academician. PD ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Dear Peter, Need to delete a section from submitted information previously. Someone saw the lights in the trees seemingly showering from the sky which were thought to be giant tropical fire flies blown northward from the tropics by Tropical Storm Bill now in Texas on a northeast bound path. The next night, June 17, the giant fire flies were observed in the same wooded area but the yellow round lights in the sky did not reappear. My apologies for connecting the two unconnected observations. I found your web link yesterday when I google searched for strange lights in sky over Virginia. See below for revised submission. Thanks for your reply, name deleted)) END ADDENDUM))

Glendale, AZ
Me and a friend we're hanging out, watching tv at my house. It was pretty late. We went out side to smoke a cigarette. We we're talking for a bit, then I suppose I felt something in the sky move and when I looked up, I couldn't believe what bin was seeing. It was an enormous space craft silently hovering over my neighbor's house, across the street from mine. I told him to look asking him if he saw whatn i saw. We both agreed that it was very real and amazing. We stared at it. It was unlike anything I've ever seen or heard reported. It was a dark grey color. And it shape was like a triangle with the pointed side facing south, then another two triangle shaped protrusions on each side of the ship pointing up towards the sky. It appeared like it had alot of space inside like there was multiple floors inside. There was a very large amount of window like squares with what looked like shiny redish, greenish, blueish and purpleish pearlescent squares all over the surface. Also, many white lights next to the squares that we're randomly lighting up. It looked like a large futuristic panel of buttons and lights. There was this wing like triangle coming out the bottom that had red lights on it. Idk what that was but maybe it was to not hit anything while that close to the ground or to enter a house . that's kinda what it seemed like. We watched it go south bound very slowly and completely silent. We we're in awe and watched as slowly left our sight. It was so unbelievable that I didn't tell anyone for a month or two and then when I did tell Ppl they didn't really believe me. But I think I found a story that was similar to mine but they couldn't explain it since they were not any where near as close as we were. I know I need to report this to see if anyone could tell me anything on what I saw. I wish I wouldve have gotten a picture. But I didn't have my phone and didn't want to risk going to get it and it being gone.

Weather conditions are hot and unusual for this time of year in MN, with a high in the 90's, conducive to storms. Watching the weather front coming in around 7:00 pm - darkest to the east and south. Between 7:15 pm and 8:00 pm, where the sky was the darkest to the south and east, I saw what I thought was a flock of birds behaving as a flock - coalescing, dispersing, going up into the clouds, then coming back again. Many times they formed different designs, sometimes seeming symmetrical and rising beneath the clouds so some couldn't be seen. I could see the undersides were round and bright white. I believe there were at least 50 shapes I saw. Unfortunately we could't get pictures. After a while, realized what I was seeing was 1) too symmetrical to be birds and 2) too large to be birds.

The object has something protruding from underneath it. It is hard to make out in the photo, but at the time that I took the photo, there were no sounds of any aircraft around my house. When I looked up again the craft was gone. Object appears to us to be an insect in flight, possibly a cicada. PD

Chicago, IL
On the evening of June 6, 2015, around 10:15, I was letting my dog out into the yard and looked toward the sky while I waited for her. I was standing and looking directly eastward and about a quarter of a mile away and (from my perception) about 20-40 feet above a treeline, I saw an extremely large shape in the sky, very sharply pointed in the middle, which I saw first, and extremely wide and long in its width, which all of a sudden just seemed to slowly appear. It almost reminded me of a large bulky arrowhead in the width, but the sharply pointed center looked like the two sides of a triangle. In the middle of it, above the largely pointed center, was a round shape that looked almost dome-like or conical. I could not see the length of it as I was looking directly at it as it was heading west, and just could see the front and width of it. Perhaps the craft was just super wide and not long in length at all, which is possibly why I did not see its length. It was moving slowly, not fast at all. The middle portion (triangle dome-like center) looked a bit lighter than the rest of the craft. As I continued to stare at it – pretty much frozen and afraid to blink - I then saw what looked like a hot sidewalk effect, for lack of a better description, or a waviness slowly forming around this thing, and then it looked as though piece by piece I could see through it until it faded or melted into the sky, almost as though it was camouflaging itself in the night sky. If I hadn’t been looking in that exact direction at the moment I did, I would have missed it, despite it being so large, because of the way it sort of fit in with the sky. As it got a little closer, I noticed light from underneath it but then I also noticed that it faded into the sky more and the shape became sort of lost or not as discernible as it had been. What did become more discernible, though, were the lights. By the time it was nearing my home, I saw one larg! e circle with about 15-20 red globes of light within the circle. I sensed that the lights were underneath something, but the object was not discernible around or over the lights at this point. Everything looked just really dark. But I knew it was there and I sensed it was there. The lights seemed low, perhaps 500-600 feet. It was silent. The circle of lights then moved very slightly in a northwesternly direction over my house. At this point, I became afraid and grabbed my dog. I ran from the back door through my house to the front window as it faces north, to see if I could follow it, but when I looked at my front window it had disappeared. It was just gone. I did not go back outside. It is difficult to judge by measurement the size of what I saw without using the words huge or large. If I stand in the same spot where I was standing when I initially saw it above the treeline about a quarter of a mile away and hold up a quarter at arm’s length, then I would have to hold perhaps 3-4 quarters across to cover the width of it at that distance when I saw it first appear in the sky. I live fairly close to an airport (about 30 minutes south) and am very familiar with the sights and sounds of airplanes, whether they are flying high or low, daytime or nighttime, but this was not like anything I had ever seen before. It didn’t make one sound, and was large. There are always planes flying in their flight paths over my neighborhood, but strangely enough, there wasn’t one plane in sight during that time or that I could hear. Just silence. My husband and son weren’t home at the time, and I did not have my cell phone on me when this occurred as I was just letting the dog out and had left it in the house, never thinking this would be happening, so unfortunately, I can only tell you what I saw with my own eyes. After telling my husband and son about my experience, they showed me pictures of a stealth bomber, but it did not resemble what I saw. They also showed me pictures of Chinese lanterns, but again, the lights that I saw did not resemble Chinese lanterns. This was such an unnerving experience for me. I wish there was some sort of explanation. I can only hope that someone else will report seeing something similar on that night – it certainly would make me feel a lot better. And I can tell you without hesitation that this was most definitely not a plane. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Corvallis/Newport (between), OR
We eventually hit a small convenient store, where we could pull over and smoke a cigarette. We talked and decided that we missed a turn to go back to Redmond, Oregon. So we went back towards Newport and wasted time and gas going that direction, and getting to Newport, we stopped at a gas station, where I filled up on gas and went to the atm. Afterwards we smoked another cigarette off to the side of the gas station and witnessed something in the sky. My cousin pointed it out before anyone we looked and I wasn't very impressed, considering I didn't feel like I needed to be at the time, for the fact that 3 people had been witnessing it besides me. It looked like a lantern, floating in the sky high out above the ocean, heading towards us. It was flickering and looked like the wind was trying to blow it out, rather like a signal flare, but it went out in a way it couldn't have been one. We drove into the woods towards Corvallis, Oregon. Upon leaving Newport, my fiancé asked what the time was, and I answered with "12:01 like midnight." My cousin and I started to talk about mythological creatures, as well as urban legends, like zombies, and other things. I don't remember talking about stuff towards the point where we hit a small power station. The only thing I remember is a house between there, and Corvallis. The last thing I saw was a sign that said “12:21 Corvallis,” and I got a chill because it is impossible to travel to from Newport to Corvallis in 20 minutes. A time lapse happened. We spoke via telephone with the source of the report, and she seemed to us to be sincere in her description of the alleged events. PD
