I then noticed 5 silver objects off to the south east. I watched assuming they would also start sky writing but then realized that they didn't have tails and were spherical. I watched to see them fly very quickly away from the air show, over the lake and disappeared. Event witnessed by myself & 2 children 8 & 11.

Littleton, CO
It was such a warm summer morning, so I stepped out into my backyard with a cup of coffee and took a moment to few the stars. Nearly directly overhead a saw a light in the sky that I thought was an airplane coming into Denver Airport. It was tracking the same flight path as most flights coming in from the west do. Something was a little different this time. What I first thought were landing lights were not. It was the glow of the craft itself that I saw. I looked for flashing beacon lights on the wings but there were none. In fact, I could now tell there were no wings. It was a simple orb. It was traveling east northeast. It was headed in the direction of DIA. As I continued to watch, it made a gentle turn to the southeast. That is when I realized it was silent. I said to myself "What am I watching?" As it moved away from me, I was completely convinced that this was not a plane. If it were a plane and with it past me now the landing lights would no longer be visible. The orb was still just as bright as ever as it moved further and further away from me. Finally it vanished beyond the trees. (( ISS.

Le dimanche 23 juillet 2017 à 23h27 un témoin et sa compagne observent durant moins d'une minute le lent déplacement d'un point lumineux blanc sur une trajectoire Ouest-Est dans le ciel dégagé. L'intensité du point diminue au fur et à mesure de sa progression. Un seul témoignage est recueilli. L'observation du témoin est extrêmement précise en date et position dans le ciel ! Elle correspond exactement au passage de la Station Spatiale Internationale (ISS) relevé sur Calsky). L'ISS effectivement est à la plus forte intensité lorsque qu'elle est découverte par le témoin en SE vers 70° de hauteur, pour ensuite se coucher vers l'EST en décroissant d'intensité. En conséquence le GEIPAN classe le cas en A : observation de la Station Spatiale Internationale (ISS). [GEIPAN classification A — ISS]

Tulsa, OK
I am a 52-year-old researcher/data collection specialist. I was sitting with my 78-year-old mother and 13 year old son on our back porch. I was looking to the southeast and two green glowing orbs appeared from behind a neighbor’s roofline. From my prospective, they appeared to be glowing green orbs with a barely noticeable silver edge around one edge of the green glowing circle; as if a sliver of the side of the object was observable. The silver part seemed solid like it was metal. It is clear that they were several miles away. They were also very high up. It was a hot hazy day with hazy clouds high in the sky. The objects were clearly observed being obscured by the clouds at times. The two orbs stayed the same distance from each other throughout the observation. They moved much quicker than an airplane but the movement was steady; not jerking around like perhaps a laser pointer might look. The orbs were heading towards us and the closer they got, the more obvious the details became. It also was more obvious that the objects were very high up. Once overhead, my perception was that they were not very big, maybe the size of a car. At no time did we hear any sound coming from them. A middle aged couple was out for a walk and noticed my family looking at the sky. They turned around and I asked them to look for the lights. They saw them too. We all stood and watched the lights move quickly but steadily towards us and over the house until we could not see them anymore. My son said that right before they disappeared from our view, they circled each other. This is the only observation that they broke the formation that we observed throughout. My son is the only one who saw them circle each other.

Hutchinson, MN
Bright red sphere that was about 45 degrees above the horizon, southwest of Hutchinson. The light was a intense, super bright and vibrant red. This lasted about two minutes and just disappeared. It was not aircraft navigation lights and the closest aircraft in that direction according to flight radar was about 100 miles away, so no possibility of being that.

North Myrtle Beach, SC
It was about 9pm on the beach in the Cresent Beach area. I was sitting at the base of the dunes looking out over the ocean. Suddenly, I saw an orange sphere appear, as I watched a second sphere appeared than a third. They formed a triangle type shape. Suddenly, the sphere on the left blinked out, than the sphere higher up blinked out, and finally the sphere to the right blinked out. At the same time there was a large aircraft approaching from the south. It was very high up and was very lit up. There was one red light to the west side of the aircraft and bright white lights near the center of the aircraft. I thought it was a airplane but it was so high up I could only see lights. Following at a much lower level was a plane that I could see very clearly. It was not a jet plain. It looked like a military aircraft. One other thing. As the large aircraft was approaching I looked back toward where the spheres were and saw a glint of orange light as if the spheres were still there only I just couldn't see them.

St. Andrews By The Sea (Canada), NB · Canada
I am visiting with my friend, ((man's name deleted)), at his water front cottage in St. Andrews by the sea, NB weather was perfect at about 19:00 Alt. We are sitting outside on the deck when a micro UFO, about 1/2" to 3/4" in size, passed between us, moving from NW to S. Only I noticed it at first, I watched it move up to the window of the cottage stop for a few moments looking inside, then it moved away threw the latis work of a cast iron patio chair, when it noticed that I was watching it and my friend, then it went straight up in seconds. It was two shades of white, and looked like a soccer ball and a dandelion, it was over in 20 seconds. The first thing I said to ((man's name deleted)) was that was a UFO and he agreed. We both think small UFOs are best as not to scare us.

Then, after that, we continue along home and were skeptical, still looking at the sky, and we see red and green lights far away obviously but going in the same direction we were and it happened AGAIN. It was moving kinda fast and then lit up bright just like the other one. It literally looks like a cars headlights, but only one ball of light, like an orb. It just started moving along, not speeding but going fast. It eventually just disappeared and didn't see it after that. It gave us goosebumps.

Tualatin, OR
Looked up, as spouse and I were returning to our house after a walk in the late dusk (9:40pm), to see a reddish sphere in the southeastern sky, nearest to Altair in the Summer Triangle. It was still, not moving for a few seconds (which caught my eye, because usually planes with red lights move, and the lights flash), then it moved ever slightly, then held still for a few seconds, then went dark suddenly. We watched for several minutes and never saw it reappear. No sounds, no other lights or movement detected. Because it was dusk, we only saw a reddish light. It didn't appear to our naked eye that there was more than one light.

Nacogdoches, TX
July 18, 2017. 9:25 P.M. Last night after having a fun time of dinner and conversation with 2 of my friends I headed home. It was 9:25 PM, when I slowed to make a 90 degree turn onto the road where my house is. I happened to look up into the sky, a very clear space above the road at that point with no trees blocking the view, and there were no clouds, and as I gazed briefly, I slammed on the brakes (I was only doing about 25 mph to turn) because a star like bright light just popped into existence. It looked like a magical appearance. All of this happened very quickly, and I thought, “Hell it’s them!” but then I thought “maybe it’s a comet, or a shooting star? But it was sitting still, and it had no tail. Then after about half a second it shot across the sky, and to me it looked like it moved 6 feet, which of course was much more than six feet, and then it just disappeared! No tail, no sound, and it didn’t dip down, it moved completely in a horizontal line parallel to the earth. So in about 2 or 3 seconds, it appeared, stayed there a second, then shot across the sky and instantly vanished. It didn’t disappear behind clouds or trees. It was in wide open sky. This morning I found no marks, punctures, or bruises, so apparently they did not visit me.

Hanover Park, IL
I was sitting in my car in a parking lot when I saw something appear in the horizon, coming from the northwest. My first impression was that it was a balloon, as it floated and fluttered in the blue sky (no clouds whatsoever). It appeared to be spherical in shape, metallic, reflecting the sun. I also noticed that it slowly twirled in a circular motion. Then it began to move upward in a more deliberate fashion, going way, way up in the sky, from the northwest to the east. Then it crossed my mind that it could be a drone but I’ve never heard of a drone that rose up into the sky that high, perhaps as high as an airplane. I managed to snap a couple of photos with my phone, when it was closer to the ground, and I sent them to the link as requested.

Medford, MA
This event happened this past summer. My girlfriend and I were sitting outside in an alcove on the side of my house when we saw something moving in the sky. It appeared to be 3 white dots moving very high up in the sky. The three dots seemed to stay together in a triangle pattern and rotate in a circle, possibly indicating that it was one object giving off 3 light sources. We grabbed the best camera we had (Canon 70D) and tried to take video. It was so high up that we weren’t able to keep the camera stable enough for a video but we did get some pretty good photos, which I’ll be emailing. It was hard to keep track of it as the dots were white and it would move behind clouds now and then. There really isn’t much else to say about it except that we sat and watched the phenomenon for about an hour before they disappeared.

Looking southwest we saw a light go straight up above the horizon, it moved around left to right, and seemed to be orbiting, with very rapid movements, then it left and headed south out of sight.

Greensburg, PA
While walking the dog in our back yard, I saw a bright orange-red light appear over the western horizon, traveling toward the east. The light was bright and steady, not pulsating, and the object made no sound. I watched it travel across the dark sky, trying to determine what it could be. Then another identical object appeared from the same area as the first one, and followed the same path. One object was trailing the other. When both objects were clearly visible at the same time, I ran to the house to ask my husband to come outside quickly. For two to three minutes, we both watched these two orange-red spherical objects travel from west to east, although they seemed to be not perfectly round, and looked to be somewhat flattened on the top. There was a distance between them but they followed the same trajectory. The trailing light passed into a small thin cloud and disappeared first. Then the leading light passed into a larger, more dense cloud and dis! appeared second. Then they were gone. After that, the sky seemed clear except for a passing airplane. I resumed walking the dog and then to our surprise, about two minutes later, another orange-red light just like the first two appeared, again from the same area on the western horizon and traveling eastward. My husband was still outside and witnessed it, too. About 30 seconds later, there came another light from the same place. This set of lights traveled approximately the same path as the first set, were also a distance apart, and both lights also passed into thin clouds and disappeared, but this set disappeared almost simultaneously. They didn’t travel as far as the first set did before blinking out. The objects did not have lights on them; the spheres themselves appeared to glow brightly. None of the four objects appeared to be at an extremely high altitude. The lights of the passing airplane appeared to be much smaller and not nearly as bright as the unknown objects. Several stars were also visible in the night sky. My husband and I are both retired. He is a former auto maker and maintenance technician. I was a medical technologist. We have lived at this address for over 7 years. We walk our dogs every night in the back yard and this is the first unusual sighting we have had.

Honor, MI
Took pictures of the Point Betsie lighthouse in Michigan on the evening of July 14th. Was there to watch sunset. Went through pictures today and noticed where I snapped a few pictures of the lighthouse, one had a large sphere by the tree tops. It's large enough you can see the sun shining on it. It must have flew away fast because my next picture it was gone. I cannot explain what this. Probably not a UFO, but cannot be certain. PD

San Gabriel, CA
Approximately between 8:30pm and 9pm, I witnessed a red rounded very bright light that I am estimating was between Las Tunas Dr. and Huntington Dr. (North and South) and between Rosemead Bl. and San Gabriel Bl. (East and West), in the city of San Gabriel. It rose from the ground, so to speak, and shot up into, where with distance to the eye became smaller. It stayed up in the air for a few seconds then dropped down about half way and then began to drop a few feet at a time. Then flew to the east rapidly, then I lost sight of it for about one minute. It rose into view once more and returned to where it began and repeated a similar action of dropping a few feet at a time. There was NO sound of a helicopter or airplane. No sound at all. It was silent. I just got a new cell and could not get the video to work!! I was talking with my daughter and just kept saying “Oh my god, I cannot believe this!!” Please if anyone else saw this, post here!!

On 07-123-2017 at approximately 0751, I observed a red “flash” from the corner of my eye. Turning to face the flash, I observed a sphere, of unknown size, moving from West to East slowly across the sky. The sphere moved in a straight line slowly, taking approximately 3 minutes to move 45 degrees in the arc of the sky. The sky was clear of clouds and there was no significant wind during this part of the morning, any wind which was moving was passing from South-East to North-West at somewhere less than 10 miles an hour. The only object which was in the sky at the time of the event which could be used as reference was the moon. The object observed, appeared to be 1/16 of the diameter of the visible moon at the time with best estimate. The object appeared to be a metallic red color as it would catch sunlight and “flash” very brightly a red color. This flash is what caught my attention in the first place. In between the movements and the times the object flashed, it appeared to be either a dark colored, almost black or a diffuse white colored sphere.
