Saw a red bright object through the trees. Watched it fly over the house from north to south. Then another appeared. No flashing lights, just bright steady red. The third flew over but much more dim and it just disappeared. No sounds. Quiet.

I looked out my window and saw a great orange fireball with a glowing center moving at a steady pace from south to north. I then got my mothers attention and she saw the object change course and start heading east as it disappeared behind the trees and horizon.

Was working the evening shift at our water treatment plant when i looked out the window and saw two orange lights traveling from east to west out of the north, ascending slightly. No strobes, sound or exhaust trail were observed. Just an orange flame similar to a rockets exhaust. Too fast given the distance, even for a fighter jet. As the first of the two started to fade, a third was observed ascending from the horizon at the north following the same trajectory. About 1.5 minutes elapsed from the initial sighting to the third sighting. When the third faded another two appeared ascending from the horizon maybe a minute after the first three. Lost track of time soon after, though i have time stamps on the videos. A few moments three more were observed over the course of what felt like eight or so minites as each one took a good 1 to 1.5 minutes of flight before they faded completely. Five or so uneventful minutes went by and my coworker and i thought it was over. We then went inside. Approx 15 min later saw a ninth at the late state of the previous 8s point of travel. They appeared to be flying out of Jacksonville. But am confused by the westward travel. Away from the ocean over populated areas. The Altoona bombing range was too far south and to the west to have been a factor. There were airliners in the area but probably too far from the sightings.

I was with a friend at a taco truck with several other customers who witnessed this . A giant golden fireball streak came down from the southern skies,it was massive. It continued for a very long time then broke into 3 seperate fireballs all side by side. Then at the same time all 3 broke from freefall & went in complete different directions, one went up! They all started just cruising around not in freefall anymore. Absolute insanity for everyone who witnessed- we were all in awe

We’re vacationing in a resort on the beach when we wanted to enjoy the full moon. Suddenly my husband sees 3 orange lights in ‘V’ formation and points it out to my son who also sees it, then they just blink off after about 3-5 seconds. About 10 minutes later I see 1 orange light up in the sky that looks like a fireball that suddenly extinguished after a few seconds. At this point I start trying to convince the rest of my family about what we’ve seen when the 3 lights come back but this time in horizontal formation and blink off one by one. We managed to take photos and video and there is no way this was a drone or any craft we know of.

Me and my brother were sitting in the hot tub in the early morning hours when he pointed out this very bright light that traveled fast with no plane navigation lights. It descended very fast and being a pilot myself it was definitely not a plane. It faded out after about a 1 or 2 minutes.

Earlier this evening at around 8:45PM-9:15PM local time I witnessed some type of drone craft over Redstone Arsenal visible from a neighborhood just Northeast of Gate 10. It had lights and flashers consistent with FAA regulations. The craft slowed to a hover and after a couple minutes it delivered a payload of what seemed to be short-burst comet-type effects that lasted 8-10 seconds with 8 or 9 projectiles that launched out and then back toward the vessel in a circular arc. After the initial display the drone returned back southeast, was presumably reloaded and then delivered the same payload to the same location albeit slightly closer to my location about 10-12 minutes later. I dunno if they are working on some type of pyro display for a corporate retreat or 4th of July celebration, but it was pretty darn cool-looking for the small effect as it was. If a bunch of these were synced up to a timed show and launched closer to the audience radius I could see it h! aving a nice affect in conjunction with a traditional pyro display.

I was outside in my secluded house and seen what appeared to be a flashing slow moving fire ball in the sky. It was moving north west (I believe). It was only one. It travelled in a line and then disappeared. Background of the observants were mixed race and black. I have a short video that does no justice for how it appears in the sky.

Looked like pieces of falling meteor...instead of burning out they spaced out evenly and flew North parallel to earth at great speed.

All of a sudden to the east a massive light appeared to the east. It resembelled similar characteristics of what a meteor would display upon entering the atmosphere with an almost sudden flash and fast motion of light. In complete shock and need to put a rational reason to whatbibwas seeing I stood in complete awe and disbelief as I witnessed the light intensify in what can only be described as an entry into the atmosphere then suddenly stop in it's tracks completely stsrtioery in it's position and gradually go from bright either that white so bright it blurred visually to gradually reducing in brightness intensity as it held it's position in the sky to the east and at a height I'd visually average to be lower than air traffic I have previously observed in the above area ... during this time I I went through all possibilities that could rationally and skeptically be the most fitting and probibal scientifical and environmental explanation pertaining to what I was seeing .. being a keen armature star gazer and astrology ( the necessary basics anyway) from a young age I considered and rules out any factors that underpin this .. ie Venus? Brightest in sky .. no it's moving .. plane /helicopter! or military aircraft that often travel overhead at these hours .. No noise.. completely will for about a minute no aircraft does this .. helicopter make noise.. meteor, comet you name it I considered it .. all of these were not even close to fitting what i was witnessing before me and 100% certain in my observation that it was none if these. In absolute excitement I shouted on my partner.. I mean he would never believe me if I told him. And what an experience to miss out on even just visually .. on joining me he was also totally gobsmacked .. it's a ufo I exclaimed my partner.. who is thee biggest skeptic out .. agreed that what we were seeing was something totally crazy and unexplainable!! .. After the light sat stationery for around no it's maybe minute and half it took off at rapid pace North East bound at a great rate .. also solidifying no aircraft made by man has this ability .. it eventually went out of sight. Since then there have been 2 occasions I have seen a busrt of bright flashing lights in sky at opposite sides of my home .. the have a short and delayed timing between bursts flash maximum 5 times and gone ... o have als9 witnessed what first appeared a satellite moving through night sky then took an impossible and not characteristic of satellite 90 degree change in direction then fade or lost behind clouds... again I always rule out these man made explanations before I jump to an extraordinary conclusion

Early Monday morning, I was sitting on my deck looking north east that's when I noticed a large red and orange ball of light just under the cloud covering.The ball of light hung in the sky then slowly started to descend. I would say it resembled a sunset but without lighting up the whole sky.The ball of light lasted about 3 minutes before disappearing.I was able to take about four pictures of the glowing ball of light.

Constanța, CONSTANȚ · Romania
I was in my hotel room by the beach with the door open to the balcony. I happened to look outside and saw what appeared to be a fireball (about 150 yards away from me) and every once in a while other fireballs would appear near it (as if it was shooting them out). They were smaller in size and would disappear within seconds but the main bigger one would disappear after several of those mini ones were “shot out”. This was right by all the hotels of the Constanta beach over the water. It had no sound at all and after disappearing, there was no trace of the objects. (I have two videos of this event and hope that someone else had seen this and can confirm what I saw). The first one I noticed was at 8:52 pm and saw several more after that, but I am not sure how many if any at all appeared before that. The big fireball would appear in intervals of about 5-10 minutes apart.

South toward the the Gulf of Mexico a comet like object traveling east to west, vertically with a very large tail, lighting up the sky.

3 lights observed traveling north to south. The lights were yellow orange, like a flame from a fire. They appeared to be round with a haze around them so I couldn’t determine a shape. There was no sound and they seemed to be traveling at a steady rate of speed. They were following each other but were not close together. The night was overcast so they appeared to disappear once they got far enough away. The lights did not blink, they were steady, like a burning flame. As the 3rd light passed over, we lost internet connection for a brief period of time. We believe that UFO’s probably exist, but until now, we’ve never seen anything to cement that belief.

I am a police dispatcher and on my night off I observed several objects rising in the sky. The first appeared as one then split into two, followed by a third. They moved quickly in a southeast direction. Around 5 minutes later, 3 more rose and went into a southeast direction as well. 4 more came up and went in a southeast direction. That occurred all within about 10 minutes of each other. At 22:14, 5 more came up and went in a southeast direction as well. They appeared to have a flickering light almost appearing as though it was a flame or fireball. They were round, disc shaped in a white or light silver color but it was reflective as you could see their flickering lights reflecting on them. There were several witnesses to this as well as people running in the street to record and see as well as several vehicles driving in the area to see if we could find where they were coming from. They all disappeared in the southeast sky. There was absolutely no sound to! these discs but could be seen very clearly that they weren't drones or planes etc. Several pictures and videos were taken but certainly do not show the detail that could be seen in person.

There was a massive line of straight light looking like fire balls but in a perfect formation with blinking lights all around it. It hovered in one spot shooting across the sky disappearing into a bright star. Very vivid, obvious UFO. Extremely freaky...

As it moved towards us, it slowed down a bit. There was no noise and no blinking lights. The object the moved a bit faster into the distance. At one point it stopped and made a quick change of direction to the right in a 90 degree angle. Then it seemed to quickly move amd fades into the distance.

Saw a green streak, fireball coming in a downward direction about 12 o'clock high in the night sky, northern sky, towards dayton ohio from my location in fairfield at about 12:45. Am. The object was greener towards the front fading to white at the tail. Lasted maybe a second, two at the most. Watched for other objects in the sky for another 10 min. Saw nothing else, maybe a meteor? not sure was very fast. Iv seen meteors fall before, never green, unusual.

We saw what looked like a huge fireball in the sky. It looked very different than a falling star. It was a falling fireball. And then there were two orbs that moved in sync and then moved separately, ultimately separating. J

My husband and I walked out our back porch door and immediately noticed two large glowing objects in the sky. They were bright orange-red, and gliding silently upwards and to the left of our field of vision, to the North. The objects were initially a few hundred feet from us, but moved further up and away quickly over a horse pasture behind our house. At this point I started recording the experience, I will email the recording to the email address provided. The objects seemed to float or glide North together, one rotating a bit behind the other at a point ,with varying degrees of separation from one another until one and then the other eventually disappeared into the sky to the north. My husband is a teacher with a masters degree and I am a stay at home mom. We have never experienced anything like it. They moved fluidly like a drone but were far too large and quiet. As fast as a plane or helicopter, but looked only like a large fireball. The encounter last about two minutes.
