My family and I were driving off of the highway for gas, when I thought I would take a picture of the area. Right before I took the picture, I was only aware of seeing the sun in the sky, but when I checked the photo there was this perfectly round greenish orb southeast of the sun. This was taken through the back window of the car using the camera on my Samsung S4 phone. There was no flash used. I know it wasn't the moon because it was on May 13th a few days after the full moon which still would have been almost on the opposite side of the sun. Could possibly be a reflection off of an aircraft at just the right moment, but I am not sure. I will send the picture. Lens flare. PD

Directly southeast of DC, driving south on 395, I saw a BRIGHT yellow light maybe 3000 feet in the sky COMPLETELY still "floating" and staying in the same position. This was NOT an airplane, NOT a flare, and NOT a man made light. It was a cloudy rainy day and this light was bright, almost star like but just WAY too close to earth to be a star, and way too large. I have never seen anything like it in my life. The weirdest thing ive ever seen. I actually drove towards the UFO object and got directly underneath it. I will not give anymore details from this point as I reported this onto a popular forum online and was immediately discredited and people tried calling it the "sun" being ((word deleted))... Well. TOO BAD THE SUN WASNT EVEN OUT ON THE 12TH. Complete overcast. This was TOO CLOSE to earth, TOO small (while still a large orb shape) to be the Sun, didnt BLIND me like what happens when you look at the sun, and was completely mind blowing in the detail, color, stillness and height it was sitting in the sky. I don't care what government agency discredits it if this was reported by hundreds of people. I don't know if anyone else drove toward the object after seeing it, but I saw what I ((word delted)) saw and will not back down nor accept any air force "explanation" that it was a "flare" or what have you. THIS WAS NOT MAN MADE. END OF STORY. I have a photo AND video, but I will not release these out of fear for the time being. Ive been googling DC ufo sightings constantly since the sighting and I am SHOCKED I havent seen one other report of this glowing floating orb. The colors emmitted were wave like, yellow and almost fluttering. You could see a beautiful rainbowesque metallic dancing color directly on the yellow light/object.

I am writing on behalf of my brother. He had a close encounter with a UFO. He was out walking his dog and noticed a pink orb in the sky. It flew rapidly toward him and stopped right over him. He said he almost could touch the thing, and was close enough to it to see lights and structures inside the orb. He raised his hand to touch it, and it immediately flew off. He wasn't scared but more curious than anything. Apparently the dog freaked out though. The most interesting thing is that I too saw pink rosey orbs on that same evening, the story of which I've already posted on this site, along with a photo. He lives in Washington state, I live in Arizona. We compared stories and it sounds like exactly the same UFO. Lastly you should know that I haven't spoken with my brother in over two years. He mentioned his encounter to our Mom, and I had to call him to see if we had seen the same thing. I think we may have. Very strange stuff.

I observed a bright white-glowing, orb-like object hovering above the tree line to the left of my front yard near Route 20 North in Albamarle County, Virginia. The object was stationary for a few seconds, moved quickly from its position, and then disappeared for a few seconds. It reappeared a few moments later, moved quickly again, and then disappeared from view entirely. The object made no sound.

I have a view to flight path of Sky Harbor airport and often watch incoming planes from my upper deck. On this day, I noticed a rose/pink colored orb in the area where planes are normally in a holding pattern. I watched it head south in my direction, then made an ubrupt turn to east (opposite direction from airport) and watched until it disappeared. I then looked back to where I originally saw this, and saw two more coming! I ran downstairs to get binoculars and by the time I got back upstairs, those two orbs went into same pattern/direction as the previous one. Then, again, two more come into view - from the same direction and eventually disappeared into the eastern sky. I did manage to get a picture. I didn't know what to make of it, but what I find most interesting that no planes landed or were in holding during this time. Once the orbs were gone, planes were again in view and started landing. Very strange.

One white circular aerial object was witnessed trailing an airplane. The sky was blue and the white object was easy to see against the background of the blue sky. The white object was traveling behind the airplane, seemingly at the same speed. The witness provides high-quality video and stills of the object, but it is barely visible. It is little more than a tiny, light-colored speck. We do not know what it was. PD

Around 4-5 pm in the middle of an amazing song, everyone was enthralled by, someone next to me pointed to the sky and said balloons. At first we saw a few balloons...orange blue yellow clearly balloons that colored with strings on them...I turned around 30 seconds later. And what seemed like a bunch of balloons behind the close balloons all of sudden were white dots floating up down left and right... Not a ton of movement. It seemed as if they were watching/listening/feeling the festival. I've never seen anything like this so and I've always been interested in these kinds of things, so I decided to report it.

Myself (67) and my son (38) had just gotten home and were about to go in the house. I looked up to see the pretty, bright moon. Sky was clear and I saw a round, bright glowing sphere moving from east to west almost above us. Hard to know how high but I would say higher than propeller planes fly. It was silent and no blinking lights. It flew in a straight line for about 10 seconds, and then to our shock.. it stopped! That is when we went into the house! I looked out our south window and kept track of it. It moved very, very slowly east and by the time I went to bed at 1:45 a.m. it was sitting in the west sky above our town - not moving. So, I don't know what time it moved on.

The wife and I were sitting on our deck, looking at the stars and the waxing moon. It was around 9:00 P.M. on a cool Spring Sunday night. The sky was clear and cloud free. The moon was @ 95% full. I was looking over the roof line of my house towards the south and east. My wife was looking south and west. Suddenly there was a flash of light over the roof line in my sight of vision. It was an intense, luminous emerald green color. It looked like electrical sparks with arcing shards of current. It appeared to be 3 or 4 times larger than the moon. From the center of this matrix emerged what appeared to be a round or slightly oval orb with what looked like a lightning bolt trailing it. The short trajectory of the object curved @ 180 degrees (like the letter C) and it stopped at that point. The trailing energy field that followed the orb was visually sizzling (no sound) like the fuse of a firecracker and eventually subsided. The orb was standing completely motionless at that point. If the moon was a basketball this orb would have been a softball. I yelled at my wife to look at the object and she stood up in time to see it begin to pulse and speed away. It shot into the tree line and disappeared. I have never seen anything move so fast from a dead stop. It seemed to me the pulsing of the object correlated with it's rate of acceleration,.as if the pulsing was a proponent of it's propulsion. The angle of the sighting was at a 45/50 degree angle. It appeared to be moving laterally due south. My personal opinion is that the object made a dimensional shift, like a car running off the road. The initial light show appeared to be a force field that had been breached. As the object stood motionless, after its introduction into our world, it appeared to get its bearings and re-enter it original flight plan. That's just my take, or maybe it was here to stay. I hope to make a computer model in real time of the experience. This is something the wife and I will never forget.

While on break outside where I work in the parking lot, me and another fellow employee on break saw a total of 7 circular red orbs moving from NNE to SSW at a moderate rate of speed. First there were two, and then as they moved further South they disappeared into the clouds, then three more appeared moving from and to the same direction, and as they disappeared, then two more appeared moving from and to the same direction (moving NNE to SSW). These moved over the entirety of the city of Montgomery and were still heading south until they disappeared into the clouds.

Tonight was different. I was watching the NBA playoffs spurs vs raptors and I just returned from grabbing a drink and my favorite cigar. It just so happened I caught it in plain eye sight and was able to zoom in on this object to record it and the way the lights go from left to right as ordered one red light three or four white lights then one red light and reversed! There's been times a big spot light would appear then a steady two orange lights before take off! But only one orbital aircraft was there tonight instead of two at least this is what I thought! Then here comes this blue spinning object you couldn't see in plan eye sight! I looked away from my camera phone twice and couldn't believe I couldn't see it but I seen it on my phone! As I turned after a couple minutes to show I was literally outside my apartment and returned back to where I was standing prior it was gone! I even thought Venus was the North Star that night haha! But I screenshot both objects and the blue circular one thrice to show it was moving one has no stars that I could verify the second if you look closely when it was by what I call big o’s belt! The brightest light is was I normally said but in the video I have its clear to see they are planes! This light go so bright it lit up blue! I sternly awakened my girlfriend and say I finally got it but look here's something new! Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Watched a 3-4 in sphere come in one end of development and slowly move thru park. A neonish blue that seemed to be a glow, but didn't "shine". Don't know any other way to describe it. Floated by me about 20-25 ft away about 12-14 ft off the ground. No sound. For some reason, the source of the report does not indicate the time or date of the alleged sighting, so we have had to guess at both. The witness elects to remain totally anonymous, and provides no contact information, so we are unable to contact the party, in order to confirm the time and date. PD

No asteroid or comet pauses and then moves again. No plane could be that low or travel that fast. No drone could travel that fast. No other competing lights were present. The blue orb appeared to be as big as a compact car. The other person in the car saw the very same thing.

Black object way up in the sky. Way higher than helicopters normally fly and moving way to slow to be an airplane. Had red and white light slowly blinking on and off. Object moving northward then just vanished. No trace. Now there's what looks like a HUGE craft hidden in the clouds directly above the valley. Moving very slow. Southwest bound.

A bright silver ball traveling west to east at a high speed, making no sound, flew past us, making a slight change of direction, and then blink, it disappeared into thin air.

Everett, WA
Looked up in sky as getting into my car approx. 11:20ish pm noticed 3 different sized orbs in sky over Everett Boeing and westbound. At first, I thought helicopter, but the bigger one became bigger and intense in light and then faded out a couple of times as well as hovering and moving side to side, pretty staying in one spot. A smaller one was to the west of the bigger one, doing the same pretty much the same thing and one was farther East but still close and it hovered not like a plane or helicopter........ It was pretty cool! I asked the bigger one to intensify for me and it did!...then they literally disappeared.....And there were clouds.

Podgorica (Montenegro), Montenegro
I was lying in my bed which is at the attic of the building and looking at the stars through the window on my roof. Suddenly, I saw 4-5 shining balls in the triangle formation, moving from the left to the right side of the sky. I've immediately woke up my wife, who also saw it for a few seconds until the objects suddenly made a turn and disappeared in the sky. There were no clouds at the moment and the objects were moving fast but I'm not sure at what distance they were, approximately about the usual height of the clouds. They've made no sound and I hear airplanes often so I know that it couldn't be any kind of airplane nor meteor, drone etc. The lights were brighter than the stars and and it seemed that the objects were symmetrically moving one from and to another. I've never seen anything like this before and I've always been a skeptic regarding UFO's.

It floated for only a moment, before it moved across the road into a neighboring ranch and disappeared. Its movement was quick and smooth, like a falling basketball dropping from the top of its arc.

This went on for 1 minute and a half, then they disappeared. I got back in my car drove a half mile further and the same thing occured again. This time for 45 seconds to a minute.

I was sitting on my rooftop, smoking a cigarette in HB, Orange County, when I noticed a loud sound in the sky. The sound was different from a helicopter and when I looked at the craft it was too low to be a plane. The craft was emitting a very intense red light from its tail end. When it passed over my head, I noticed a spear-shaped craft, but I could not see very clearly as it was dark out. The craft appeared to be white, with some dark color intertwined on the bottom of it. I told my friend to come out and witness what I saw. When we looked at it about a minute after it had passed, we could very clearly see a very strong red light still emitting from the craft. It was traveling southwest to northeast towards LAX. But when we both looked at it again, it appeared to be hovering to the east. I noticed other aircraft in the area due to me only being an hour from LAX and was paying attention to their lights and it was nowhere near as strong as the craft that I saw.

Witnessed a orange orb pulsating over the ocean. I actually was standing outside having coffee, and this object gave me a weird feeling, so I went back inside our Airstream trailer and filmed this object through window and window screen. One key note is that as it got closer, I noticed it pulsating, but also could a red interior coloration.

Napa, CA
I do star parties for hire with a large telescope I designed and built. At 12:50 a.m., I was going east on Trancas Street in Napa, CA, heading home from a star party. I observed a large orange/red circular light over about the area of the Queen of the Valley Hospital, about a quarter mile away from my position, moving slowly north to south, maybe 500-750 feet high (it looked lower than an airplane at pattern altitude). The diameter of the circular light I observed I'd say was on the order of about the diameter of the length of a small airplane viewed at that distance, perhaps a bit smaller, so while very subjective, perhaps in the range of 20' diameter. As I watched it slowly moving, it dropped a large light out of it! It fell straight down! And then it dropped another and another and then a whole string of maybe 6 or more! And more smaller lights shot out the top of the thing going up! I did get some pictures but of course they're not great. The lights were BRIGHT, and a dark reddish orange in color. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) I have enough doubt now that I should rescind my report I made yesterday re. Napa, CA. I think it was a tribute balloon on fire a lot closer to me than I thought.
