On the reported date and time. I was sitting on my back porch,facing west when I heard what I believed to be a helicopter coming from the south east direction. I then witnessed what appeared to be a warm white orb from behind the tree line. Then I saw what appeared to be and sounded like a fighter jet tailing the white orb. Once the jet appeared the buffeting sound of a "helicopter" went mute. All that was heard was the fighter jet. I watched both the UFO and the aircraft travel across the sky from southeast to northwest. I recorded as much of much of the event as I could. The video clearly shows the white orb traveling with no air craft beacons or physical fuselage,compared to the dark fighter jet with its red beacons activated. I sent the video via text to my younger brother and fiance. My brother posted the video to his twitter account around 23:00 directly after the event. By the very next morning, his tweet was deleted. And every evidence of the post and video was deleted from his iPhone. I still have the original video on my iPhone and will send upon any request! The goose bumps and the immense adrenaline rush is unforgettable.

Hello, Folks. I was driving east on U.S. 52, and at the time, there were no other vehicles around, and no homes in the vicinity, While driving on 52 East, I come to this very rural area, where I see this white sphere of light in west lane, about 15-20 foot in diameter, moving across the highway at a quick and steady rate, probably about 100-200 feet above the highway. I watched the object as it Vanished into the trees. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

2 orange orb type lights quickly appeared (silently) off the coast over the ocean and within 5 seconds changed into 5 lights, lingered 10-15 seconds, then quickly disappeared.

Part 2: Still wondering what we had just seen go down by Hinkson Creek, but driven by the need for ice cream, we continued to Andy’s and queued up at the drive-up window. It had only been about 5 minutes since the first observation. I was looking west; the sun was setting, when I saw a quickly moving object traveling from the northwest to the southeast. It appeared silverish and spherical. It was either quite high or very small. Then I saw another object which seemed to be trying to overtake the first one, and another one and another one, 6 in all, following the first one. Of course my first thought was helicopters but we did not hear any kind of mechanical sound. It finally occurred to me to use my cell phone and try to get a picture. All I got was small dots, but they are there. The time was 8:07. Interestingly a helicopter did fly over to Boone Hospital and it was easily seen and heard of course! it was landing. As an addendum to this report, a friend, who lives in Salem, Missouri, “was entering Columbia on 63 Hwy and saw a white glowing object between 500 and 1000 feet in altitude going over the Femme Bonne Creek. Estimated speed was 40 mph. This was on April 6, 2017. It was traveling south.”

Part 1: The first observation was a little before 8PM on 4/20/2017. My husband, who was driving, and I, were traveling east on East Broadway. We were between Broadway Bluffs and Trimble when I noticed something very low in the sky in front of the car. It appeared pale blue in color, almost sky color, about the size of a pea at arm’s length, maybe slightly larger. It was on the passenger side of the car, so I had a good view of it, it seemed to be spherical. I did not see any appendages, it appeared very smooth. We stopped at the light at Trimble to make a left turn which gave me time to watch it. (My husband watched in the rearview mirror. He confirms my observations.) At this point I’m thinking it must be a balloon. It stayed at about the same height and distance from the road as it flew west over Green Valley Drive. It was approaching a tall stand of trees at Hinkson Creek when it paused in midair and rapidly descended diagonally out of sight. Ok, not a balloon. Maybe it was a drone? About 35 minutes later we went to the area where we had seen it go down; very secluded for being in a city. Hinkson Creek is at the end of Green Valley Drive, which turns south and becomes Moon Valley Road. Open fields and trees.

Orange spheres quietly appeared over water, then disappeared. We did not see movement of the objects. They appeared and then faded away within a few seconds of each other. They appeared to be in a straight line but the first and last were set further from the three in the middle. They made no noise. We witnessed similar orbs like this while visiting Gulf Shores three years ago. Source of the report elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

North Myrtle Beach, SC
They've been spotted AGAIN! We have seen these lights numerous times over the years. They seem to occur around the times of 8pm - 9pm over the ocean (not on the horizon, but a great distance into the sky). It will all begin with several orange orbs appearing, we've counted up to 5. The lights will go on and off in order while in a straight line. Once all light are off, they often appear again in different areas across the sky glowing on and off with their orange light this time not in a line; instead, scattered. After a short period of time the "light show" seems to come to an end and they will disappear into the night sky. We've done basic research to find that this is a common occurrence that is reported throughout the North and South Carolina beaches. But all research has lead to dead-ends. It's definitely a worthy sight to be on the lookout for!

Cape Girardeau, MO
I immediately went to Flightradar24 to check for other planes in the area. I snapshot it to document no other planes were in the area, within 50 miles, and certainly none traveling in that direction within more than a hundred miles. I then went to Google Earth to get a point in space reference of the angle and position of the anomaly and estimated that it would have been approximately 11 kilometers or approximately 36000 feet above the ground. The weather was clear and sunny, no clouds present, and the object seemed to disappear right before my eyes within 15 seconds of first seening it. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite sober-minded. That fact, combined with his employment background and military service, suggest to us that he is an excellent, and reliable, witness. PD

Willard, KY
For a month, or longer, I have been seeing orbs of light all around my house. I have had several people come to my house to look at them, and my parents and sister have also seen them. I have went outside while they are there's d they seem to follow me everywhere I go. This has been going on every night. They float up, down and in different directions, change shape and color. There is a large one that stays pretty much in the same area every night but the smaller ones move around a lot. Last night people were telling me they were seeing them in Willard, Hitchins, and Grayson, Kentucky, too. They are completely encircling my house tonight and they did last night too. I've seen lights shine up from the ground light the clouds and a big orange or red light come on above the clouds so bright you can see it through storm clouds We have urged the witness to obtain photos. We will proceed with the case, once photos have been forwarded to our Center. PD

We wonder whether the sighting might have been of Jupiter, in the southeast sky. PD

I was at my Grandmothers house having some fun outside with my brother, we had a coyote caller and we were screwing around with them... if you hit the right pitch the would howl back anyways he went to use it one more time and he didn't hit the pitch right, he and I were waiting to see if we would get a response. He then pointed in the sky and said look, there was tree lights that were like a very light yellow white-ish color, in a triangle formation, they started to move closer and closer together... about a few seconds after they got pretty close they shot up and disappeared, about 15 minutes after my brother and i went inside with terrible headaches and nausea. Source of report indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

South Bend, IN
Saw a number of red lights in the sky. Appeared to be distant. Originated below the horizon (obscured behind buildings) and rose in the sky while moving steadily from left to right from my perspective. Lights were North and East of my position. Lights moved with constant speed but did not follow a constant path. Vertical component of velocity changed - lights changed rate of rise and at some points descended. Horizontal component seemed steady. Saw about 10 total lights. Initially saw them when coming around the corner of a building that obscured the sky and immediately say about 7 in the same part of the sky. No obvious formation to them but they were all in the same few minutes of arc in the sky. One by one the lights faded and disappeared. As the last of the original lights disappeared a new one rose into view, then another, then another at wide intervals. They all rose and then disappeared as the original 7 did. Did not appear to be flares as they steadily rose and covered a very large distance (assuming hey were far away, as was my impression.) Again, they appeared to change vertical component of velocity several times. My sense was they were maneuvering. I have seen this phenomena before in the same part of the sky from a nearby (2 miles away) location about five years ago. I am an avid airplane enthusiast, an atheist, and a general skeptic - I am not prone to false beliefs and delusion. These were not aircraft lights or flares. I do not believe they are alien craft but I cannot explain them by phenomena known to me.

I have a wireless security camera in my shed with motion detection. It records 30 second clips with infrared night vision. A mouse keeps triggering motion during the night. On the night in question the camera shows a flash of light (1 frame) over the neighbor’s house, left side of the clip. Next clip shows no light. Next two clips show a definite white light on the right side which occasionally blinks (maybe goes in and out behind trees?) and moves slowly left and up until, at the end of the last clip it is going out of range of the camera. Not an airplane. Only a white light and it changes direction. Several of us watched the clips over and over and can’t figure out what else it could be. We have viewed all three video clips, and we do not know what the small white light is. Clearly, it is moving slowly, at approximately the angular velocity of a satellite in low earth orbit. The ISS was not visible at the time and of the sighting. We do not know what the object is, although it may be the landing light on a distant aircraft. PD

Dickinson (headed toward Galveston), TX
Was around 10:30pm. I looked up to see a red glowing orb, about the size of an airplane. There was a green blinking light that looked to be on top of the craft. The craft at one point swayed left to right several times in a way that I was sure this was no plane. It was traveling around three times the normal speed of a plane. After passing us, the crafts lights turned to a white steady light as it moved out of site heading south toward Galveston, Texas.

Orange glowing orb, pulsing, silent, slow moving, slightly redder in center at height of pulsation (2 sec intervals). Placed lower than clouds and moved from my 12 o’clock to one in a southern motion for 15 seconds, then hovered there for 10 seconds changed direction to east slowly for 15 seconds, changing direction for the last time to north moving slowly for 3 minutes, then hovered, slowly extinguishing out. No further sightings.

I noticed red flashing orbs side by side, I thought it was a helicopter, but it didn't have a front light. Or shape of a helicopter. It was just hovering a cross freeway coming from north east a cross freeway going southwest. Low altitude, and would pause at times. It continued going on left side of freeway.

My girlfriend and I were looking up at the stars and noticed a bright orange/red glow in the sky to the East. It was rather low in the sky, maybe as high as a small prop plane would fly. It moved from the East all the way across the sky heading to the West, and disappeared on the horizon. It went right over the house. We heard a faint sound like a humm. It never changed in appearance, as it appoached and passed us, which seemed very odd to me. It had no flashing lights or markers as a plane would. I thought it must had been a rocket launch from Cape Canaveral or something, but they had no scheduled launches for that night. I am a regular star gazer, and this event has my mind blown. I have no idea what it could have been.

My two sons, my daughter and sister were at Johnson square in Savannah, getting ready to take a ghost tour around 9:15pm, when my youngest son of 8 years of age, and myself saw a very bright white ball or round orb come down across the clock tower from left to right on a 40 degree angle. We could not see where it originated or where it went because of building on the right and left side of the clock tower there.
