Probable conventionalSaint-Brieuc, Bretagne · France
Le 12 avril 2017 à 14h un témoin est intrigué par le lent déplacement d'une forme ronde très lumineuse dans le ciel dégagé. Il filme et fait une photo du phénomène. Un seul témoignage sera recueilli. Comme le témoin l’évoque, son observation pourrait bien correspondre au passage d’un ballon radiosonde. En effet, après vérification auprès du centre Météo de Brest-Guipavas contacté le 27 juin 2017, des lâchers de ballons ont lieu 2 fois par jour à 11h00 TU et 23h15 TU. Il est tout à fait probable qu’un ballon radiosonde lâché à Brest-Guipavas à 11h 00 TU se retrouve à Saint- Brieuc à 13h50 heure locale. Les ballons peuvent voler à une altitude de 20km et ne sont pas assujettis par le vent au sol. Le GEIPAN classe ce cas B comme probablement l’observation d’un ballon radiosonde de Météo-France lâché de Brest-Guipavas. [GEIPAN classification B — Ballon météorologique]

Second sighting -Two days later I was also out in the early morning and out of nowhere a brilliant white orb is streaking across the sky, this time towards me and it made a noise like a booster rocket and had a tail. It went right over the townhouse next to mine and once it went over the roof I was waiting to hear a crash but there was nothing. I saw the Channel 4 news cast yesterday, 5/9/17, about the sightings in Suffolk County and the images that were shown was exactly what I saw. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Seen a orange sphere moving towards moon. I was not a flight as I had seen one flight 5 minutes before, and flights lights are red and they blink. Source of the report elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Looked like a round orb yellowish in color. Fist noticed in northern part of sky. Fist caught my attention when it moved side to side then stopped. Then disappeared and re appeared again. the totally disappeared when I zoomed in on it like it knew I was wanting a closer look. never seen again. Have it on my camcorder right as it was zoomed in on and when it disappeared. No clouds and there was a clear sky.

Then a third one came from the south, and was MUCH closer, and then followed the other two north. I am confident they were not planes helicopters or drones.

Visually tracked a white orb. The orb stopped in midair for appx. 15 seconds and resumed a different route, then went out of visual. The orb was moving faster than a normal aircraft.

Loveland, CO
I was in Loveland, CO, with my kids, and we where flying kites then I noticed 3 spheres shaping a triangle. The spheres where copper with darker shadows. As they came passing by one of the spheres stopped, while the other two kept moving. Then the 3 spheres formed a line and vanished. During this time, it was hard to look at the sky because there was a lot of static in the sky. The sighting only lasted about 3 minutes. They appeared on the Eastern side and moved south before vanishing. Source of the report elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

St. Petersburg, FL
I live a few miles from downtown St. Petersburg and I saw m, over a period of 5 to 7 minutes, approximately 10 to 14 round objects that were glowing in orange and red moving across the sky slowly over downtown St. Pete. They moved across St. Petersburg and upwards into the sky and eventually disappear at first there was approximately 6 to 8 round objects in the sky, and then two at a time, they began appearing after that, for a total of approximately 10 to 14 objects.

Small, round object in photo is lens flare, caused by pointing a camera at a bright object. PD

New Iberia, LA
It was almost 5:50 AM when I went out my back door and into the garden to water my plants. This time of day is usually very dark outside and sunrise would be approaching in about 30 minutes. I usually look at the stars as soon as I come outside, but this morning a bright ball of light immediately caught my eye. At first I stood on my step staring and thinking how odd. My brain ran through many possible reasons why I could see this bright round shape; is there a planet really close to us, was it a search helicopter in the distance, a weird street light off in the distance, anything that I could think of. I stepped of the step and walked closer to the fence to see if I could get a better angle, possibly giving it a reference point or position. It looked to be past the bayou, and possibly past the park. Then it moved, very swiftly to the left and up. I froze blinking my eyes. Immediately telling myself no, nope, there is no way you are seeing things. Then it moved again to the right. Now I am retreating back to my steps. I stood there staring and then I checked the surrounding sky. I could see stars, street lamps, trees, everything as normal, but nothing was as large as this object. Then the moment came when I thought to myself, does it know that I am staring at it? I shook my head a! nd went back inside, almost had my daughter come outside to verify it. I decided against that notion, I didn't want to worry her and also it was time for her to leave for school. Made sure she was ready and out the door and I went right back outside to the garden to see if it still was there. It was and this time I took photos. I noticed in the photos it is not as prominent or as large as it was to me standing there. I moved to a different spot to gain a better angle. Still it sat in the same spot. As the sun started to rise i thought that it would disappear into the light within a few minutes. Minutes passed and I could still see it just as clear and now with little shimmers of metal. The object stayed the same shape the whole time, and no lights flashed that I saw. I started to water my garden and try and watch it at the same time. I noticed that it started to move up and I had to reposition a few times to track it through the trees. Then it slowly moved right more and then some more. I watched this object for nearly an hour, taking photos and video clips periodically. Around 7AM, I went back into my home where I was for about 30 minutes. When I came back out it was nowhere to be seen. It was eerily quiet that morning. Usually there are people out, lots of wildlife wandering in and out of backyard or the neighbors. No squirrels, raccoons, cats, dogs, opossums, children, trash trucks, work trucks... nothing. I waited to read about it from other people in the paper, local blogs, texts, instagram, something. No one said anything, and I felt awkward telling anyone. It was there large, round, brilliantly bright and quiet on a very still morning for at least an hour that I knew of.

San Tan Valley, AZ
Want to start off by saying I have never seen this much activity in the sky over San Tan Valley. I've seen a few things I couldn't explain in the past over this horizon. Went in my backyard to feed dogs and I looked up in the sky like I always do. Saw a bright red "star" in distance, which I thought was a plane heading straight at me. It got bigger as it approached then stopped in the sky. It hovered over the San Tan Mountains for a while, then directly under it to the right another white light appeared. Slowly drifted north. Then another similar light appeared and did the same. For a while the three lights formed an Isosceles triangle. The two white lights drifted toward Chandler/Gilbert area and when they got over the populated area started to flicker like that of an airplane. But not constant like a planes lights flashing. The white lights started to flicker a lot and dipped under the horizon out of sight. The red "star" stayed still drifting upward slightly. What I thought was a plane headed towards the red light, then stopped and completely changed directions and drifted upward. Couldn't believe what I saw. The red light then started to fade away but not until a bright white orb appeared under it, pulsated, shifted direction and disappeared. Before the circus ended a smaller red orb drifted up to the red star and almost "kissed" it before changing directions and fading away. Also when all this activity was happening I saw three aircraft in the sky fly by. One flew almost directly over my house. Had a big green light under it and I couldn't tell if it was a plane or a helicopter. Made almost no sound at all. The other two flew directly under an orb but must not have seen it. This sighting left me with an uncontrollable gut wrenching feeling in my stomach. Too much activity for no one else to witness.

I saw 2 green orbs flying in formation. They remained in formation as if they were one craft but I could see it was defiantly 2 craft. I regularly watch the ISS go over my house and am very familiar with its 17,000 mph traverse through the sky. They tracked exactly like the ISS. Very very fast and with purpose. I observed around the edge of both craft a white wave-like swirling that was only around the outermost edge of the craft. These waves were inside the orbs not like a haze on the outside of the sphere. I thought they were in orbit at first but they came down from the west and as they went over my house headed south towards Bournemouth. No sonic booms. For years I tried to pass it off as rocket boosters or the like but I would guess from the recent research they were real. Having been seen since the '50s by various other people.

Rogers County, OK
Date: Sunday, April 2, 2017, 9:53 pm Location: 7 miles northeast of Claremore, Oklahoma. Clearing in a wooded area, closest dwelling 200 yards. GPS coordinates: N 36.21.xxx W 095.32.xxx Elev. 6xx Temperature: 54 degrees F Duration: 9 seconds Captured on video by a game camera. Video file available, 56.8 mb The orb is a round spot of light, at first hovering in the upper left area of the frame, then moving toward and under the camera. At the end of the video, another orb, or maybe the same one, appears to shoot across the upper right corner of the frame. The only thing unusual about the location is that it is on an easement for an interstate communications cable. In 2002, AT&T removed the old lead-shielded wire cable, and replaced it with six 2" dia. pvc conduits for fiber optic cables. There are no electromagnetic fields anywhere around the easement. This is the only encounter I have had, in over 15 years of capturing video of animals on my property.

One more thing there was no reflection of light off of it. Float planes as there coming in reflect sun light off the windows and wing tips as there coming in for a landing. It also cross right in the front of there flight path. Have a nice day. ((initials deleted)) Source of the report elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

It had two really bright lights inside of it. One in front and one in back. The one in back flickered really fast while the one in front was steady in its brightness. Then I saw another about 10 seconds later and it continued to about 6 of them at different distances and different angles. All of them heading east over my building. The last one I got a video of was the farthest out at about 50 feet away. I've seen orbs before but never this close and never was able to make out so much detail inside them. The spherical outline was like a soap bubble but less reflection. I could barely make out a front and back outline but the 2 white lights inside were quite clear. The video doesn't show any of the detail I was able to see with my eyes. I'm left wondering why? It appears as the usual white orb only but that's not what I saw. Hard to see it in the video but it's there mid way down traveling from right to left of the frame.

First two, then a third sphere of orange light appears and they slowly form a large triangle low in the sky. They then fade out after about 2 minutes, and 3 spheres appear again. They then begin moving NW to SE for a short distance. A Fourth sphere appears in front of the three and after about 1-2 minutes the first 3 fall into a straight, equally spaced line. They all slowly move and follow the first orb for a short distance, which then begins to move straight up at the same slow, steady speed. The first then fades out in clear sky. The others follow exactly the same path and disappear up into the sky also. It was a clear night with visibility 8+ miles. There was no sound, no strobe lights or red/green or white navigation lights, just glowing orange balls, with red towards the rear. They were quite bright and easily visible.

Took the dog out to do her business, and there was a *very* bright phthalo/light blue light (very bright and iridescent) outside on the other side of the trees, just in front of the ridgeline. At first I thought it was a close cloud, but it is very dark and full overcast out there tonight and it didn't move like a cloud. It was moving very quickly from west to east, and it was undulating and swirling, as it went like it was wrapping itself up. There was a bright white orb I could see inside of it for a short time. You can see that my dog went up to the fence where the light is. She was looking around. Not sure if she could sense it too or just saw it or what. I guess that's the best way I can describe it. The first time I saw something in the sky I could not identify in my life was August of last year. I was so shocked, I didn't grab the camera. This time I did grab it, even though it passed very quickly, so I have pics for you that I'm sending. Taken with Samsung Note 5.

My cousins & I were sitting outside when she noticed a few lights in the sky floating across in the same direction. They looked like orbs just floating across sky but there were so many and they made no noise like that of an aircraft. They did not blink or have any flashing light but just seemed to disappear. They looked like white lights floating. I have video of it to at a certain time frame a light or something below these lights is seen streaking thru the sky below them. I can't find anything online as far as anyone else seeing this or an explanation.

Me and my two children seen seven spherical ufo,s above us at the park on a clear blue day. The larger of the two were extremely black and we're completely still. Three of the smaller lighter colored craft were in a triangle formation and also still. The two remaining craft we're moving about around the other crafts. After half an hour of watching three of the craft dematerialised, leaving the ufo in formation visible and the darker larger one. Then soon after the other two vanished. It was quite an amazing experience, and I felt a sense of peace while observing. I would relay like to no who was piloting these things. It was breathtaking for us all.

I was standing on a metal pillar (fifteen feet in height) behind my high school. I was just relaxing and looking over the field and then I heard a strange low pitch humming noise coming from the behind me (North), so I looked up. First I saw an airplane come over the tree line (one to two miles high). I was confused since planes don't usually make that sound. Ten seconds later there were two spheres following it, one was about fifty feet from the airplane and diagonal to the right side. The second one was also fifty feet from the airplane and diagonal to the left side. The spheres had a metal look to them but weren't shiny. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Me and my girlfriend were outside smoking a cigarette at aprox 1am, when we seen a bright blue light about 3/4 of the size of a normal full moon it was traveling east at a very high rate of speed did not have any trail behind it as a usual meteor would at that time she was also on the phone with her ex-husband, who was at work on the other side of town approx 5 miles away, and he seen the same object.
