Pittsburgh, PA
This report is just a collective of UFO’s I have seen in the past 2 years on top of this instance. I shall start with this instance. I am a kind of guy that when he sees something unexplainable like this, he just considers it unknown yet strange. I have a balcony to which I go out to smoke. Being as how I live in the city it is very rare to see stars. So when I recognize something that reminds me of a star I stare at it (I love stars.) Every time I see an unidentified glowing object or “flying object" I stare at them to make sure I’m not crazy and or to validate the realness. I went out to smoke and I noticed the “star” I was looking at was indeed not a star. And it was seemingly moving against the laws of physics. As if it could go through time or something. As I noticed that one I had noticed 2 others doing the same thing. These bluish glowing orbs were moving short distances at breakneck speeds. I have noticed these same phenomena in the past. Even having intelligent adults look in wonderment. That is all that happened in this instance. The other must tell story is about a year ago during the late summer to fall months. I had just got to my girlfriends mothers house (I lived there) and on the horizon my girlfriend, her mother, and I had witnessed a giant (10 times bigger than the moon perceptually) orange sphere. It was almost exactly like the depictions of USO’s. Except there was no large body of water anywhere near me. My girlfriends mother just shrugged it off while I was so lost and curious. There is constant sightings of UFO’s in my area. We even had a woman In Pittsburgh last august make it on the news for seeing something strange In the sky. She calls the police and even the police think its weird. Wish we could know what the phenomena is or is caused by.

Spartanburg, SC
The object was moving low and steady from southwest to northeast at apprx. 9:30 p.m eastern standard in Spartanburg South Carolina, at an altitude similar to local emergency and news helicopters, so much lower than most commercial flights. A steady glow of red (no blinking ), sometimes I thought it was not solid just a red sphere, but as it passed over to the north, I thought I saw a fin/airfoil on the bottom. It was moving fast but not extreme, but no sound at all, the whole viewing lasted about 8 minutes . I was on my back patio, but ran through the house to continue looking at it as it went on to the horizon where I lost it in the tree line. I have an open mind but I was seriously shaking.

We shined a laser pointer in its general direction; it seemed to hesitate, then continued to head in an easterly direction. We lost sight of it behind a tree. We have a film. The witnesses apparently have a film, but do not appear to have sent it. They remain totally anonymous, and provide no contact information, so we have no means of contacting them. PD

At dusk was looking South to see stars appearing in sky. Noticed what I thought was a meteor but was continuing across the sky. All of a sudden another orb of light was right behind it on the same path as the other one.watched the 2 lit orbs go across the sky for about 3 to 4 minutes. Witness provides no contact information.

Atlanta, GA
On commercial Delta flight 2071 from MSN to ATL cruising speed over ATL I was looking out the window at city below. Off in the short distance was a floating sphere. It was metallic, round and some nodes/small antennas. As we were flying and getting ready to bank in the plane it just stayed motionless in the sky and we passed closer to it and went by it at a slightly higher altitude. It was during daylight hours and I was confused what it was as I believe there was a second then in the distance as we circled the city. I started recording on my phone out the window in hopes I'd see it again. Too stunned or confused to record it the first time. Somehow no one else saw it nor spoke of it on plane. Never saw it again so unfortunately didn't record it. Still confused!!

Three glowing yellowish orbs hovering near 81- not moving or making any sound- just emitting soft glowing light and disappeared as if someone flipped off a light switch. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

This was a fuzzy pinkish sphere which looked like a metior at first moving in the night sky from the west to the east which lasted approximately seven seconds. The tops of the clouds were lit up from this thing then it suddenly zig zagged and disappeared. There was no sound coming from this sphere. Unfortunately I didn't have time to capture this on my mobile phone. I didn't report this as I thought that someone else might however I didn't hear of any reports and I just put it aside and didn't think about it much any more. I decided to report this after watching a UFO program on TV.

Hazel Park, MI
Then I kept looking in the sky as it was odd. A few minutes later I noticed a white circular object floating through the sky at a low altitude with no lights. It was definelty weird. No sound and it was moving pretty fast. Again, could have mistaken drones for UFOs, but never seen drones like this experience. Couldn't have been the only person in the area to have seen the orange orbs in the sky. Thanks. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Northfield (Canada), QC · Canada
I had gone for a walk after dinner at my parent's cottage and headed towards an empty campsite, wherein they had been undergoing some renovations and recently built a basketball court, which I felt like shooting some hoops. After a few shots, I looked up at the sky to notice a very bright light. Thinking it to be a plane, I continued to watch it. Although it left no contrails, no sound and did not appear to be moving. It was at the altitude of a hobby craft but I could not discern a particular shape. This was about 1850 in the evening, the sun was still up and not a cloud or star in the sky. I walked back to our cottage while keeping a close eye on the craft so not to lose sight of it. Upon my return I prompted my father to take out his phone and open the "Sky Map" app so we could figure what this was, while I grabbed the telescope. Using a 26mm doubler I focused in on the craft and was shocked. It was perfectly round, had a golden/purplish hue around it, while the center was almost transparent and had a shimmer of what looked to be ripples of light in the middle. While with the naked eye, it did not seem to move, yet through the telescope, I would have to adjust it to follow it. My father and sister both looked through and were stumped as to what it could be, and offered suggestions such as the ISS or a weather balloon. However, my fathers phone was not responding to any prompts and my battery was near dead; I had managed to take a photograph of it with my phone and could not get a clearer image through the telescope. Two neighbours further down the way came by and looked at it. They were both somewhat drunk and almost nonplussed by it. My dad, sister and I continued to watch it for another 20 minutes until we lost sight of it over the treeline. We have some hobby crafts that fly to and from the lakes in the region, but this was certainly not one of them. I noticed it in the West, and it flew South. Over an area that would take a Cessna aircraft about 1 minute to fly over, this object took 25 minutes. The next day, still wondering what I had seen, I went for a walk past the campsite and along an ATV trail. About 3km from where I had the original sighting, I stopped, heard a small sound and looked up to see a very fast, very black craft whoosh over me and turn abruptly. It resmebled that of a goose, with a long neck and curved wings, but geese cannot glide. I am willing to concede it may have been a drone, but we are nowhere near a military or airforce base, and the closest airport is some 80km away and mostly caters to hobby craft. About a month prior to this event(s), I was at the cottage by myself and looking out over the water when I had noticed a blinking red orb. It "blinked" twice in a span of 5 minutes. It could've been a flare but stayed and blinked in the same place and had no trail. It was quite cloudy that night, and appeared over an area where there is an abandoned farm.

1 orange sphere appears from due south, bright like street light, slows then drifts east. Another appears,vector slightly more from west,then same as first, separation a few degrees. Third appears more from west or southwest,subsonic speed since no boom from any object. Approximately 20 degrees above horizon. Sky was completely overcast, most likely extreme outer edge of Irma tropical depression . Therefore maximum possible altitude, distance, speed determined by meteorological records. Right? No sound but me, the crickets, and some coyetes who may also have noticed. Video evidence captured on phone, a jittery unstable point of light with one other briefly apppearing on screen. Therefore Not hallucination or optical illusion reflection in eyewear. Timestamp info showed 37 second video clip ending at 03:24 hrs. Objects accelerated eastwards while fazing out their lights. Subjective/speculative follows: Had impression just passing through, then ral! ly at waypoint to regain proper formation similar to military SKE missions with cargo planes before establishing new vector. Definitely unnatural and under control. Impressive technology whatever the source or purpose. Optimistic feeling in the end. If they can do it then why cant we? No excuses. I want one badly can think of nothing else these days. How much does it cost? How does responsible parties recruit pilots? No Mans Sky has now gotten very boring,shallow, and only frustrates the envy. Final thought: All scepticism vanquished. Totally do-able. PS: Someone in Charlotte,NC. reported sighting of 3 orange foo fighters less than 90 minutes after my sighting. Same ones I saw?

Letting dogs out at approx. 10:30 pm; power was out on property due to Hurricane Irma. Two generators were running on property. 2 lights appeared at about tree height, approximately 100' away. They moved around and left zig-zag white trailers behind them. After a couple of minutes, a third light came down from the sky from the south of where standing. The third light zoomed over to where the other two lights were located and remained in that area. All three stopped motion; it appeared that the three lights were communicating in some way. Became afraid and returned inside.

At approx 10:30pm EST, on Sept. 11, 2017, my father and I witnessed an orange, flickering light. It appeared to be at an extremely high altitude (if even in the atmosphere). Its size resembled that of a star in the sky. It displayed inconsistent flickering, which slowly faded out after approx. 1.5 to 2 minutes. Object moved in a consistent path/line from southeast to northwest, at a constant, slow speed. There was no trail/tail either. The object did not emit any sound. As a side note, according to aerospace.org, there were no reentries since September 3rd, with the next being September 15th.

I was laying on the hammock outside looking up when I noticed two faint orbs appear that were initially side by side then a third one joined in from behind them. They were much higher up than a plane would be and were moving side to side ever so slightly. My mom was outside with me and she saw the same thing. Slight greenish hue to them. They disappeared after about 15 seconds and, due to the sun, I could not see them anymore.

Macedonia, OH
At 9:37 pm my husband and I were sitting in our backyard having a bonfire, when the first of five round, bright "things" flew overhead. It was low, bright orange, silent, and moving in a straight line at a high speed. Then as soon as it reached a certain distance, a second one followed. Same speed, color, and sound moving in the same direction. This continued 3 more times. All the same. We tried to video it, but it is hard to see. When we are able to slow the video down and zoom in, you can see the sphere changing colors.

Parker, CO
I was at a friend’s birthday party in Parker CO on 9/9/17. To be honest, I’m not exactly sure of the time, but I’m guessing it was between 7:00pm–8:00pm because the sun was starting to set. Most of the people at the party were in the backyard listening to music and getting ready to eat some BBQ, while a few others were inside watching a college football game. When the BBQ chef loaded up the platter of meat from the grill, pretty much everyone moved inside to eat as the wind picked up a bit. But I stayed outside with the birthday girl because I just lit up a smoke. Anyway, I was looking up at the sky and telling my friend how much clearer the sky was in Parker as opposed to Denver because of all the light pollution we get living in the city. Just as I said that, I spotted a satellite moving from East to West. I pointed it out to my buddy and told her something along the lines of, “see, you can see satellites on clear nights like this.” She agreed and that was that. About 2 minutes later, I was still sky gazing and I see what I think is another satellite coming from the same direction and heading in the same direction as the first one. I again pointed it out to her, but just as I did, I immediately realized that this light was much brighter, larger (3x’s the size as the first one) and much faster. I said, “Whoa, that’s no satellite! That thing is moving way too bright and way too fast to be a satellite.” She immediately said, “Yeah, that’s completely different from we what we just saw!” We talked about it for a couple more minutes and then we jumped to talking about her new house. We saw no other UFOs that night. Here’s where things get REALLY weird and make no sense. On evening 10/30/17, I was watching MNF and something told me to pick up my phone and view the photo gallery (I’ve only had this phone since August and I didn’t have many pictures on it. But I recently saved a throwback photo that my best friend texted to me on 10/23/17, and I immediately saved it to the gallery. At the time I saved the photo I knew what exactly what was on my phone as there weren’t many pictures saved on it), and so I did. I discovered a photo that wasn’t there when I last looked on 10/23/17, so I immediately opened it up. It was a strange picture of a man that I’ve never seen before. Not knowing who he was and not knowing where this picture came from, I went to the gallery data on the phone and it said that the picture was taken on 9/9/17 at 7:13pm. I didn’t remember taking any pictures at the party, and I only remember taking my phone out 2 xs’s to check the time, but I did not take any pictures, nor had I seen this man at the party. There were around 20 people at the party and I knew almost everyone there, but the guy in the picture was not someone I remembered seeing there that night. I sent the picture to my friend who owns the house and I asked her if he was at the party that night. She said that she had no idea who he was and then asked me, “And what is that light??” There’s a weird light in the center of the picture that looks like a small orb flying through the air. The weird guy is at the bottom of the photo and you can only see his face, which is scary looking! My buddy and I thought maybe he was in front of a window, but we were merely guessing because the photo doesn’t offer much detail to explain where it was actually taken. I have shared it with a few co-workers, but two of the people I showed it to said that it looked like it had been taken outside and not inside. Those two people are a sheriff’s deputy and a probation officer. Interestingly enough, I think they’re right.

Sheffield, MA
The crystal (looking) circle object was seen while walking our dog because he barked. The object was about the size of a VW Bug. The thing was over a cornfield near Boardman and Covered Bridge Ln. It shifted gradually but in what looked like controlled and precise movements. This was at a height veering from 80–20 feet before rising and virtually dissolving into the sky.

I was letting the dog out in front of house and looked at the stars. I noticed a bright white light originated from the northwest moving quickly to the northeast. It moved at a constant urgent speed it began brighter than a bright star, and as it traveled, it went bright to dim and smaller until not visible. Like a passing ball would seem bigger as it got closer and then smaller as it got further away. It made no sounds and no trails.

MY VEIWING REPORT: On Friday evening 9/8/17, at approximately 9:45 PM, I was looking at what I thought was a beautiful blueish moon, when with an unbelievable speed the moon (or orb as it seemed to turn out to be) flew from south to north into the clouds as witnessed by my adult daughter also.

Houston, TX
I was traveling to work along Beltway 8 East in Houston, TX, this morning, Friday, 9/8/17, at 8:45am, and noticed an extremely bright light high in the clear blue sky. The illuminating light was spherical and grew in size, somewhat changing shape, then decreased in size, then completely disappeared in an instance. It did this three times within a period of 3 minutes or less. It definitely was not an airplane; there was never any definite shape that formed, no white trail of smoke, no clouds around it, no sound (though it was very high in the sky). I called my husband immediately to share what I had seen, as I was perplexed as to what it could be and very excited, it sounded like other UFO sightings I’ve heard described. I’m trying to find out if there are other local reports of people witnessing the same thing.

Same sphere turned white, navy blue, black then invisible. Size no bigger than a small medical tablet A sphere with big rivots and a central band. Formed a triangle under Canis major, then next night was down and left of dipper. Could be a satellite, but the coloration of light reflected would not coinside with the colors that were represented. Witness indicates that the date above is approximate. PD

Once a few disappeared more appeared from the ground level. Deadly silent, no clouds, bright starry night, no light trail, smell or sound. Lasted around 5 minutes.
