New York City (Brooklyn), NY
At 12:10am on June 30th, 2014, in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, NY, my wife and I went out on our patio for a cigarette. I went out before her, lit my smoke and from the top of the stairs to our patio, my wife asked asked, “What are those? They aren’t planes.” I looked up to where she was pointing to the SSW. There were two orangish orbs that were flickering slightly. The first thought I had was that they were Chinese Lanterns. However, the hair on the back of my neck stood up as I realized that they were moving towards us and, far too fast to be any sort of lantern or balloon. The objects appeared to be at 2,000 - 3,000 feet in altitude, moving at 200-300 miles per hour. The two objects traveled silently and in apparent formation, perhaps 2,500 feet apart. They traveled at a constant rate and did not change bearing. As the objects approached, not quite overhead, but maybe offset by about 15-degrees from directly overhead, I noticed that the glowing, flickering orange nearly disappeared and I was able to observe the underside of the objects, which appeared round in shape with a dark center and a ring of somewhat dim, fuzzy light around it. The two objects disappeared behind our building. I considering running through the front of the apartment to see if I could observe the objects on the other side of the building. My wife ran inside to grab her camera. She returned just as a third orb appeared and followed a similar vector to the other two objects. Again, as the third object passed nearly overhead, I observed the same structure as the first two objects. My wife was able to get one very nondescript, streaked image with her camera but honestly, it doesn’t look like much. The entire incident lasted perhaps 30-40 seconds. After the three objects had passed, my wife and I were somewhat shaken and tried to make any sense of what we had just seen. They clearly were not any sort of aircraft or drone that I have seen (and I consider myself an aircraft aficionado along with being a drone and R/C aircraft pilot). The other thought I had were that perhaps they were some sort of debris entering the atmosphere and burning up, but that would not account for what appeared to be a level flight path. About a minute or so after this, a commercial aircraft crossed the flight path of the objects at a perpendicular angle, heading east. I have no idea if the pilot of that airliner, likely landing at JFK, was able to see what had just occurred, but I suppose we have no way of knowing. We checked the internet for any other reports of this incident and found nothing, which is astonishing considering it occurred over New York City. However, we found Nuforc and filed this report in hopes of anyone else coming out and reporting this.

My friend and I were headed South bound on Kirk Ave. in Lake Worth in her car. This was approxmiately between midnight and one in the morning. Three red fireballs in the sky above the electrical wires were headed North bound from the South. They were in perfect triangular formation and the objects were moving slowly and passed over the car. The fireball lights were very bright in color. I wish we had taken a photo graph or turned around to see where they were going. (( We have amended the date indicated by the witness.

It most looked like a cheap firework, but at extremely high altitude. The main ball continued on, and went dim again.

Was sitting on my deck when myself and 3 others noticed 5 circular orange lights moving very slowing in the sky. The objects were at different heights. They looked to just sit in the same spot for awhile and we tried to take video footage with our cellphone. We got a few seconds on film before they just disappeared.

Vergennes, VT
A group of us was sitting outside camping. One of our group said, “I wonder what that is?” We looked up and saw a larges reddish-orange orb moving toward us (east to west). It was glowing like it was lit from inside. The colors appeared to be moving, with even a hint of blue visible – much like a fire. It did not make any sound whatsoever. It was about 1,000 feet up and from where we stood it looked about the size of a dinner plate. It continued to move toward us. It definitely was not a plane, helicopter, weather balloon, hot air balloon, flare, Chinese lantern, or anything else of the sort. It stopped almost over us (probably about 200 feet from the shore of the lake). It stayed there for a moment or two and then suddenly shot straight up, very fast. It kept going up in a straight line until it looked like one of the many stars (it was a clear night). We kept watching and then it became smaller than one of the stars until we could no longer see it.

Was driving home from Walgreens around 11:30pm-12:30am and saw 3 Orange/Red Fireballs that where in a Triangular figure. I also saw what it looked like Red laser beams coming out of each Fireball.

I was just getting off of work and as I look up I see these red fireballs moving around. These fire balls I seen were flying between the highway and the Sugar beet company. These fire balls lasted about a few mins. I tried to drive closer to these orbs and they disappeared. I call the police and made a report and asked if anyone has reported these orbs because they were so noticeable and the dispatch stated no one made the report. I live in Laurel, Montana, and I have seen the star orbs in the sky that move and there is a lot of activity around here. I have made one other report a few years ago in Laurel where across the street from where I live I saw a UFO triangle with seven red lights hovering over the trees. Witness indicates that the date is approximate. PD

Image was west in the sky moving slowly back and forth. It was bright orangeish and got dimmer as I got closer. After about 40 seconds it vanished as it appeared to get further away. It did not blink, it was solid with hazy edges. Orange in color. On a side note, the power went off in a large area around the sighting at 11pm

Silent orange/red ball of light streaming quickly over head, maybe two miles above the ground. We thought it was a firework. It moved over our subdivision and was completely silent. From west to east. The light the instantly disappeared over hwy 270. It was very odd. I filmed it on my iPhone Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. PD

Then a third sighting apx. 6/30 i was outside but sitting on my front rs porch and i saw two orange glowing lights again. They seemed to be headed in the direction of my house side by side moving in a straight direction. Then changed direction moving south instead of west towards me. They stayed side by side then just vanished. I called mufon and made a report here two years ago. A person from my area was supposed to come over to my hom because of the major sighting and investigate it due to 3 of us had such a bazzar encounter two years ago and it was hovering over my house for several minutes actually 15 to 20 minutes but he never bothered to come and interview me. So this time i am not bothering with mufon and reporting it here instead. That upset me. Especially since the home base for mufon is here in the Cincinnati area. I just know now when i go outside i always look up and yet get afraid of what i will see due to such a close encounter i had two years ago on the same date. That ufo was about 150 to 200 ft over my house and i think or feel like it knew we were paying attention to it. That was a green round disk plus orbs. Moved very slow and hovered right over us.

I saw what looked like a fireball coming out of the northeast. It was very quiet and looked to be about 4,000 feet in the sky. Make no sound what so ever. It was headed southwest.I saw it about 12 miles from the Pittsburgh airport. After it passed me and got a few miles away the light faded out.the light looked to be in the front of the flying object. It was a red orangish fireball type light. It was followed up by 2 more flying objects. They all were a minute apart and about the same elevation and same light and following the same flight path. A few days earlier there was 5 of these things flying over the same area a flight path and same lights.

Myrtle Creek, OR
At about 10:15 pm, June 26, 2014, we observed a single yellowish/orange fireball in the northern sky. We had light cloud cover yet we were able to see the round fireball. Had the fireball been higher in the sky I believe the fireball would have been more visible only as light coming through the clouds. Yet, it was either below the cloud layer or just barely into it as we were able to see the glow and a small dot in the center. It stayed stationary as we continued to watch. As we watched in disbelief and were equally curious as to what this object was, it began to "burn out". Though as we watched it we were not sure if it actually did "burn out" or moved away from us. We do know that this object did not move laterally at any high rate of speed.

1 object came about as 4 others evenly spread out repeating each other formed in a perfectly symmetrical line. I tried to get it on video and picture but it didn't show up on my phone or my gopro hero 3!!!

Garden City, SC
My family had been seeing odd lights in the sky over the ocean all week. I had to see for myself and walked out on the Garden City pier around 10:00 PM. Apparently the lights had been seen earlier according to other family members. I watched for about an hour as multiple lights would flash on, then off. Sometimes singly, other times three in a row followed by three in a row. They did not appear to move and seemed to last about 5-10 seconds before going out. What was interesting was that the intensity was the same no matter where the lights appeared. Maybe flares? But very symmetrical in nature and occurrence. Odd for sure, I've never seen anything like it.

Was driving with my wife and son headed north on the 101 and took the price exit. The first stop light we saw 3 bright orange like fireballs crossed our path up in the sky. They looked like they were flying low and they were round and glowing orange. We were stopped and the were headed east. we turned around to get our camera and they turned into a triangle shape and then disapeared. Couldn't get any photos. They were moving to fast I guess.

I believe it was around 11pm close to that. My sister and her husband and my mom were sitting on the back deck and she called me to look up at the sky over the ocean. I said is that a UFO and that is what we all believed, then other people who were vacationing with us saw it to. People next door and few doors down were all watching it. The first one seemed to be towards the right in the sky over the ocean. It looked to be rotating around I saw 4 red round shape lights all exactly next to each other seemed to be going around and it just faded out. Then for the next few minutes we saw what looked like orange balls start as one then go upwards two three four. It couldn't of been flares because it was moving from the right side of Garden City to Surf Side and towards Myrtle Beach way to fast. They would start to light up going upwards then just fade out sometimes in the middle and towards the left at the same time. Someone called the police dept to see if maybe was a distress flare they told her it was military drill or something of that sort. It def looked like a UFO the first one we all saw the others in orangish color looked like some time of round flares but would start lighting up one then two then three going up then just disappear, was pretty freaky.

Over North Myrtle Beach around 10:30 at night on June 23, 2014 my wife, brother, and mother in law we're sitting on our balcony talking before bed and I saw an orange ball of light in the nearby sky. This light quickly turned into 4 lights moving across the sky like an inch worm. The second that one ball of orange light disappeared, another would develope about a centimeter away (from my perspective of the sky). The lights the all distinguished. This lasted about 10 seconds. About another 30 seconds later it all happened again in a totally different area of the sky! This time exposing 8 lights. After telling my other relatives of what had happened, another day went by and no lights were visible that night. Then came June 25, 2014. Again, at 10:35pm, the lights happened again, only this time they appeared and reappeared in multiple areas of the sky at the same time, and duplicated into 7 different balls of light, moving in a southern linear direction. On this night I was with 8 other people, who all saw these lights. On both nights there also appeared to be odd lights right next to the orange duplicating balls of light. These lights were small and quickly flickering all around the area of the UFOs. These lights would change direction and appear and disappear effortlessly. This lasted 15-20 minutes. No sound was heard throughout experiences Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Looked and saw a fireball object with a pinpoint light in the middle and ambient light around it. It was moving as fast as the planes around it, but was distinctly NOT a plane. We were in lower manhattan and the light disappeared over midtown. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
