Springfield, MO
Headed home near the Springfield Airport, pulled into driveway, and my wife had remarked how it was so nice we could still see the sky here. I glanced just for a second, and focused for a moment on what I thought was a constellation... As my wife headed inside I noticed these were in fact objects (I believe to be aircraft flying at extremely high-altitude, perhaps satellites) flying at a slow pace in a triangular flight pattern with the lead object at a much lower altitude (brighter light). As I continued to focus on this area the objects maintained their slow pace & pattern. I have seen some of the stealth bombers flying in formation out here, in broad daylight, but those were flying at a much lower altitude (and the emission trail was unbelievable!)... being familiar with star-gazing I wouldn't put it past it that these were satellites... but I have NEVER seen so many satellites flying in a formation pattern like aircraft, I would imagine if these were satellites, they'd be at a relatively lower orbit than the many times I've seen satellites 'skipping' along before. There were at least 6 in one formation, with another two groups that I could see of around 6 or so staggered at the same incredible altitude.

The sun had a ring around it. It was interesting so I took 2 pictures of it seconds apart. As I look at the pictures,I notice a dot inside the halo of the sun. As I zoom in, the dot appears to be sphere like with glowing white orbs. I look at the other photo and the object has changed position, with its own halo, and the orb pattern has changed. I was using a camera phone Samsung Galaxy S5.

It was the night of Friday, Sep 2, 2016. After a long day of work, I retired to my bed and ready to sleep. I also had a lunch meet-up appointment with my buddy on the next day so I went to bed by midnight, which was earlier than my usual Friday night sleep time. Perhaps sometime at 1 or 2 am, I was awake but still in my bed. There was a bright white light emitting from my 4 o'clock (my head is at 12 o'clock position as a reference). The light came from a white ball of light. It was so bright that my eyes were filled with tears and I had to turn my head slightly to the left to avoid it. The light was so white and bright like it was coming from either a high power flood light or the sun. It must be noted that although the washroom light was on during the night and it was in the vicinity of my bed, it was a energy saving light bulb and its colour was yellowish dim. I remember that right before I turned my head, there was a tingling sensation in my breathing tube traveling upward between my collar bone to my jaw. It was itching and I remember that I brushed my neck with both hands downward. I don't remember seeing any entities or physical contacts during the entire event and I was laid down on my bed the entire time; I also dont remember if my lower body was immobile. The next day, I got up with the sense of a bit restless but didnt give much thought. My friend later noticed that I was behaving a little bit agitated while I was looking for a parking spot at mall. It could be the result of the event or perhaps it was stress related. But our lunch was the last meat I have eaten for the past three months. Somehow that encounter changed my diet habit and I dont find red meat and chicken appetizing anymore. My diet has become almost vegetarian. I do eat fish and seafood from time to time, but I know I can also live without them. My weight dropped and I felt more healthy and my brain more active for all these months. What really blew my mind was a physical evidence that I cannot simply treat this as a dream or human psychological response to stress. This event had left a physical mark on my chest. I found it very similar to the scoop mark left on some of the abductees' bodies. It has been three months since the event and that mark still remains in its original shape and colour. There is no other physical symptoms, pain or itching coming from it. Of course, it wasnt there before and no scratch cannot heal in three months. I don't sense it was a malevolent encounter and I have not had another one since then, or at least any that I can remember.

A white Orb was traveling East to West and in a downward projection. Looked like a large meteor, but without a tail. Fairly low in the sky. It was bright but then it disappeared, almost like they turned the lights off.

At 7:46pm, I looked up east of the sky looking towards the neighboring city of Montclair or looking over the Inland Empire. I saw a bright light sphere object. It was between yellow and orange in color. Still focus on the object it started ascending very slowly. Then it started shrinking, in what look like if it was in steps or in stages of large to small perfect spheres. While it was shrink at the same time it look like it was losing some of its yellow orange glow, and would looked like a silver or grey color. Then after staring at it for about 15 seconds, it just disappear.

Anchorage, AK
I went out on my deck and i saw a fast moving blinking white light. It then turned solid red. It was going faster then a plane, then all of a sudden it stopped and went the oppisite direction. Then it was moving diagnal, then up and down. Then it turned really bright solid blue for a few seconds. Then it turned red again and went over towards some planes coming. Circled around them. The movement of this red and blue orb was the most unique part. Then it seemed like the orb didn't know what to do. Then it feathered down past the tree line. The interesting part was that i grabbed my phone to record it and i only got one second, and my phone misteriously died and i had 15% charge. It didn't want me to record it.

Greeley, CO
I was laying on my couch facing my window which faces south. I looked up at the window and saw one large orb of light. It was flying west towards the mountains at a level in the sky that would be just a little too low for a commercial plane unless it were landing. It stopped moving immediately and just sat in the sky for a moment. Suddenly the orb of light got very dim to the point where you could almost not see it anymore, and then immediately re lit very bright causing a bit of a flash and then disappeared without a trace. It wasn't just further away in any direction, it flashed and then was completely gone. This all was in the duration of about 8 seconds.

5 orange/yellow lights that were not airplanes. They moved vertically and horizontally very slowly. Observed from highway I-295 driving 65 MPH.

Surf City, NC
First saw a redish orange pulsating orb flying pretty high above houses on Topsail Island nc. No noise - but figured it may gave been just an aircraft too high to hear. About 10 mins later, the same colored circular object was flying much lower along the beach from North to South... Was flying near the altitude many if the Camp Lejune military aircraft fly at. No sound. Pulating just like the first one. I took about 8 seconds of video. Flew higher as it passed us - then after a few more seconds seemed to just disappear.

These spheres are white like electic and appear about 8:25 pm for weeks now they stay stationary for up to 4 to 5 minutes than descend or move right left or dissapear. Sometimes there is only one it gets brighter and also dims down it seems to sit over the west

There were 4 orange spheres over Pine River Pond on Sunday, August 28th, 2016. 3 of them were traveling in a line together while a 4th one was a good distance behind the other three.

While enjoying a Jimmy Buffett concert Saturday night, the crowd witnessed a series of glowing orb light pass of the BB&T Pavilion. They seemed to be rising and heading slowly west out over the Delaware River toward Philly.

Enfield, NH
Witnessed a pulsing light moving faster than an aircraft far in the distance. The sky was overcast and the craft was well below the cloud ceiling. It was the only light in the sky. I watched as it began to move faster, then it suddenly changed course heading more torward my position. It sped up more, flashing more rapidly. There was no sound. It was quickly much closer to where I was standing. It passed overhead moving faster in a zig-zag pattern, still no sound, blinking wildly and then suddenly disappeared.

Greensburg, IN
Large red orb or sphere traveling East to West just below cloud line. The sphere was about the size of a large grapefruit at arm's length in the sky. The object was solid in color and had red protrusions from top and bottom like if you took a grapefruit and stuck a pickle through it. It was all one object and did not glow or flash. There was no distortion of the light. Although our first thought was that a plane was exploding, it soon became obvious that this was not a plane or helicopter. It seemed high in altitude and moved silently across the night sky, becoming smaller and smaller until it blinked out and disappeared. Our general impression was that it was UAP under intelligent control.

Stevens Point, WI
On August 26, 2016, at 19:31 hours, I was driving north in the right lane on I-39 going around Stevens Point, traveling about 69 mph. Where this sighting occurred, I-39 is actually going in an East-West direction. There was no precipitation and relatively clear sky. The sun would soon be setting at about the 9 o’clock position to my car. The distant trees and buildings on the south side of the road in this location would block the sun from coming into my car. I noticed at about the 11 o’clock position, there was an intensely bright white round-shaped object about 600’ away and moving relatively slow in an easterly direction about 25’ above the ground. When I noticed it, it appeared to be about 20” in diameter and just beyond the south side of the road. It then dipped down, then up to about 40’ above the ground, greatly picking up speed as it then curved to the North/NE and passed over the ‘south-bound’ lanes. As it moved over the approximately 50’ of median plus road shoulders it dipped downward coming directly towards my car and hitting the middle of my windshield, glancing off, and continuing NE in a straight line. As it hit it made a very loud, heavy ‘dunk’ sound followed by a ‘clink’. From my right side window, I saw it go straight to the NE and then was out of my sight. At the moment of impact, from the loud sound I had braced for the windshield to break apart or at the very least be cracked. To my amazement it didn’t break ! apart. I continued approximately two miles to my destination and examined the windshield. I could not find a single trace of anything on it: no breakage, cracks, or smudges of any type. When I first saw the object, I thought it was a large bird. However, as I continued to watch it as it crossed the south-bound lanes and get closer, it appeared to diminish to about 6” in diameter with what appeared to be a heavy 6” tail like that of a comet’s dust tail by the time it hit my car. I don’t know if it actually had a heavy ‘dust trail’ or if that was my brain trying to track its movement. I do know that with it coming within 24” of my face there were no wings, feathers, beak, eyes, feet, or anything remotely resembling a bird or of any other color: Just a very intense white ball-shape. In addition, when fowl or animals hit a vehicle, they usually hit with a ‘thud’ sound due to the compression of soft tissue. And a bird’s beak usually hits before or during impact, not afterward and usually has a different sound other than the ‘clink’ I heard. Plus there will usually be some type of smudge or residue on the glass. I was very puzzled by whatever it was that I saw and hit my windshield, but since there was no damage done, I chalked it up to being ‘unknown’. That changed October 22, 2016, with a similar sighting at night. October report filed separately.

Astoria, OR
My friend and I were out in the rural area of Astoria, and saw a bright, large yellow orb cross the sky above us at a fairly fast rate. It was then gone out of sight, but we then witnessed what could have been the same object or possibly a second object of the same size and color crossing to the east, neither had any noise or visual detail.

Le 23 août 2016 entre 21h15 et 21h30 un témoin et son fils sur la terrasse extérieure de leur maison sont intrigués par le déplacement silencieux dans le ciel d'une sphère orange incandescente. Le témoin distingue des flammes sur l'objet et sa surface. Cette "boule de feu" décrite ainsi par l'enfant se déplace d'Est en Ouest sans changer de direction jusqu'à ce que le témoin la perde de vue. Aucun bruit, aucune trainée ne sont remarqués. L'observation dure 30 secondes. Un seul témoignage est recueilli. L’ensemble est parfaitement conforme à une observation de lâcher de lanternes (voir le compte-rendu d'enquête) : - le déplacement est conforme au sens du vent ; - l’aspect, la couleur, la luminosité du PAN sont conformes ; - c’est une nuit d’été propice à un évènement festif. En conséquence le GEIPAN classe le cas en A : observation très probable de lanterne thaïlandaise. [GEIPAN classification A — Lanterne thai]

Boise, ID
A large green glowing spherical light (about the size of a small moon), was sighted directly above in sky, traveling north at the high rate of speed that a shooting star has, but no "tail". The object appeared to be in the near atmosphere. Lost sight of it due to hillside. Seemed to be more substantial than refracted or reflected light. No sound.

Montrose, CO
At approximately 8:15 on Monday Aug 22, 2016, sitting on my patio looking west a large orange ball went from north to south across the sky just above the horizon above the airport. It was slow moving and decreased elevation as it traveled until it was out of my line of vision. It was bright red orange. I didn't get a picture. It was just getting dark. It took a minute or so to pass from my view from right to left which is not the direction of incoming aircraft. There were trees between it and my patio which blocked the view for part of the passing. The airport is a couple miles directly west of our house and it looked to be passing over that area. When it was out of my view it would have bee quite a ways South of the airport area.

One sphere-shaped light fading in and out, before disappearing into some clouds. Seen while I was driving. Made no noise.
