My girlfriend and I walked outside at approximately 9:00PM. We looked up towards the sky SE (we were looking for the Perseid meteor shower); shortly we noticed what looked like a big round orb in the sky. We watched it silently float along as it changed its course at least 3 times. We have seen this twice before in the same location. It looks like a big floating ball of light. In WWII there were a lot of these sightings, commonly referred to as "foo fighters", this is what I believe we keep seeing. The orb seemed to be intelligently operated as it shifted its course many times in under a minute. For the record, I have seen countless things in the sky and am familiar with how they look; shooting stars, satellites, airplanes, helicopters, drones, etc., this was a UFO.

My son and I were driving on Jurupa Ave between Grand Ave and Palm Ave. My son who was 16 at the time said, "Mom pull over, you have to look at this." I looked out the window and saw several amber spheres that had a plasma look to them. They seemed kind of low in the sky and were moving to the east. I tried to take a picture with my cell phone but my camera crashed when I tried. By the time my phone came back on line the object was gone. This image has stayed with me and I will never forget that night. It took me years to report this because I didn't know a site like this existed and I feared people (other agencies) would make fun of me. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them.

The light intensity was unlike anything I know of, many other small blue and red lights were scattered across the mountain as well. We watched it shift from one set of peaks to another at an unbelievable rate. As we looked in the sky above we noticed another bright light and it began to shift in zig zags and circles hovering around the night sky, as we looked around we could see a ring of these blue lights that all were moving in the same behavior unlike any of the other stars, or shooting stars in the sky. As we watched them, a bright orange orb appears from the ridge on our property and followed the tree tops till the end of the ridge, then zig zagged and shot off into the night sky.

A bright white object that was stationaly slowly started to move. This looked about as bright as the north star. This had a upward flight pattern of about 45° in the air. After traveling slowly for 30 seconds, it faded away and was gone.

Murfreesboro, TN
8/10/16 – Murfreesboro, TN, approximately 8:25 p.m.. I was pulling at of my driveway to go to the gas station and looked up and saw a small red orb–-which I at first thought was a star or Mars, but then realized it was moving slowly and was a dark red. It was not blinking, but was solid red in color. I put my vehicle in reverse to not lose visual of the orb in the tree line and watched it get bigger. Clouds were I would think between 6k to 8k ceiling. When it entered the clouds it looked more like a large fire ball--only there was no trail and it made no noise. When I lost it in the tree line I drove in the direction it was going (within seconds) yet it was gone. Drove around for about 10 minutes looking for signs of it…..but didn’t see it again.

I don’t know how to put this into words; I am a great wordsmith, I just feel so much emotion at this time. Last night (08/09/2016) I lay in my bed watching Netflix as my fiancee goes to open the front door for his friend. After a short while, they both call my name, screaming. The way that they were yelling made me think my cat had run into the street and got hit or something. I jumped up and ran outside, only to find that his friend saw orange orbs in the sky. At first, I was calm, and I replied, “Oh, I see these all the time I told you ufo are real... I see them all the time.” His friend thought my statement to be strange; she suggested we go inside but at first, I wasn’t afraid because I see them all the time. She was so frightened that she left. My fiancee decided that we needed to record this, so he went inside to look for my real camera. Now I will describe what we saw. On Bryden St., between Joy Rd and Livernois, we spotted 12 orange orbs popping up in threes to the left of the sky just over Dearborn, Michigan, Warren Ave, and Wyoming area if you were facing west like we were. The orbs appear from nowhere low in the sky and slowly floated up over the clouds. Once they got high over the clouds, they changed to match the clouds they became the same color and even made themselves appear the same texture as the clouds, however, they had become disc shaped. Once in this form, they floated across the sky towards us which was north to joy from Dearborn. They appeared to glide across the sky, and they were silent. Once directly over my hear I could see two dark gray circles on the bottom of the craft spinning. Once they got just across Joy Rd almost to Chicago on Central, they began to lower they turned dark grayish black and dropped down from the sky to the ground. At that point, I was crying and panicking because I never saw them do that before, and they seemed to be trying to be invisible, and I was terrified, so I ran into the house crying. I called my best friend the only person who would believe such a crazy story, and she doesn't believe in ufo, but she believes in me… she calmed me down and told me to pack an emergency bag just in case. Last night I could barely sleep I was so scared. I woke up today trying to tell myself it wasn't real. I have no one to turn to, and life feels very different to me now. I don't know what to think or how to feel or how to function without feeling like I'm going insane. I hope that rant made sense.

It moved towards us and flew overhead and then completely disappeared as it flew overhead. There were no flashing lights, no sound and it is a crystal clear night sky.

So when the Packer game got canceled last night, I decided to take a drive around the back roads with my friend. Took a little 2 hour drive and on the way home, Utica was having their Utica Fest, and we drove through it. We drove down 106 and got onto Hillside Road, and my friend said he saw the firework show from Utica going on in the distance. So I decided to take Aarback Road to Highway 73. I parked the car 30 feet away from the intersection of Arback Road and Hwy 73. My friend and I got out of the walked up to the intersection. So we were looking North West towards Utica and it's 4 miles away from our location. It is not that impressive watching a fireworks show from that faraway. So we were watching the show and towards the finally a very bright meteor streaked over our heads from the Eastern sky to the South Western sky. Then about 2-3 minutes later in the same South Western part of the sky- in the same area or direction of where the meteorite traveled to! - just above the horizon what looked like it was over 40 miles away from us- there were these weird lights that what looked like welding sparks falling very slowly from the sky. I told my friends it's probably just pieces of the meteorite falling to Earth. Well here is where it gets weird! Those sparks just stop in midair and then they started to move back upwards again and then start to zip around in tight circles like fireflies. After a few minutes of doing that, they came together to make one very bright orb in the sky. After about 20 seconds, they separated and dance around again, still at the same height, not lowering or rising in the shy just above the horizon. I told my friend to get out his phone to capture this. Three minutes goes by and they came together yet again to form the bright orb, but only this time it wasn't as bright as the first time they did it. It was visible for maybe 15-20 seconds and then it broke up again. The sparks then looked like they were forming an elongated tube but eventually they turned back into the in! dividual sparks and then vanished from the sky. My friend got the orb thing on his phone, but it's not very clear video. I wish I had my camera, because I could have used the telephoto lens on my camera. I started to rationalize that maybe it was a squadron of F-16's with their engines making the spark-like lights and they we were just maneuvering around and maybe the bright orb that we saw was one of the F-16's was using it's afterburner. I really do not know what it was, but it was very cool!

A round orange orb floated across the sky as my husband and I watched. It stopped for a few seconds then continued toward the Long Island sound. It was bright orange, made no sound, and moved very rapidly across the sky.

Me and my friend were walking around the common when I saw two orange orbs in a sort of formation moving extremely fast over the northern horizon. Just after the disappears from sight, we saw what appeared to be a jet following or chasing them. It seemed as if the jet could not keep up.

Dorchester, NH
A mostly clear night sky. Bright orbs viewed by two out of three observers at the limit of human sight, high up in the night sky and moving fast. The objects appeared to look like mini full moons to the viewers and appeared to be fully navigating themselves. The first orb was moving west to east and ended up at the upper eastern star within the big dipper. A second orb was viewed shortly after traveling in the same direction but then a headlamp was used, and it went behind a cloud or something. Shortly after the second orb disappeared a plane flew in from the west to the east and another plane traveled west to south and both were at typical plane heights. This event occurred the same night of the recorded St. Louis Arch event. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

My wife and I were about to start a camp fire at the cottage and listen to the C2C podcast on my phone. I went outside first. While I was waiting for her I decided to take a look up at the stars to see if I notice anything as I usually do. Upon gazing for the first minute, I noticed what looked like a very bright star move slowly from right to left across the night sky. I looked for the blinking lights which would rule out anything but a plane but there were none. I called for my wife to come out and look but she was busy with the kids at that particular moment. When she came out I told her what I saw. She dismissed it as a plane. I decided to keep looking up and about 5 minutes later, this time, TWO, bright glowing, what looked like, stars (but brighter) moving across the sky but this time from left to right and the latter one following the leader in exactly the same path it was on. If the front one moved slightly down or up, the other would follow to a tee.! The wife couldn't dismiss this one. She began to look up with me. THEN...over Lake Erie we see a glowing orange light stationary over the treeline. It slowly started moving to the left and just as it was about to go out of sight behind a tall tree on the yard, it simply vanished! Like a bathroom light, it just turned off. Now the wife is LOSING IT! As well as myself, "what did we just see" we said to each other laughing with excitement. I was giving her the "I told you so's" and decided to walk down the property towards the beach on the lake. There....again over the horizon across Lake Erie I spot a second glowing orb which looked exactly like the one that just vanished before our eyes. The wife ran back to the cottage to grab me my phone so I could record what I saw. I did manage to get some film. I have attached what I got. Notice in the second video that the craft moves toward the sound of the fireworks, which you, Mr. Davenport have mentioned many times on Coast.

As it's a national holiday in Switzerland, there have been fireworks all night. However, there were three lights that did not fade away like the other fireworks. When I came back with my phone I saw another about 150 degrees SW of those three. That one seemed to be coming closer, while the other three flew away from me and then disappeared. By the time I looked back to the other one, it had gone too. My mother said they might be drones, however no one flies drones through a sky full of fireworks. It was also definitely not stunt planes or anything. Just small yellowish orbs of light; seemed to glide and hover very gracefully.

Orange orb gliding above tree line, from east to west. It blinked its light off, then on, 3-4 times, and dropped a faint silver object that fell quickly straight down, before turning northwest, before disappearing behind trees. No sound or trail with either.

My wife and I were outside our house looking at the stars at 2300 hrs., when I noticed a light at very high altitude, traveling south to north. I told my wife, and she saw it too. We watched it travel south to north for several minutes. Within a minute we saw 2 more lights flying 1 behind the other, I put my fingers up to try and see how close they were together but even my little finger covered both lights. We saw them at about a 45 degree angle above the horizon. When they were directly over head the rear light released two smaller objects, that started traveling 1 east and 1 west, same type of light just a bit dimmer. Then several seconds later we saw 2 more lights same description and angle of appearance, traveling again south to north. From 2300 to 2315hrs, we counted a total of 10 lights, traveling from the south to north direction. And 2 lights that came in from the southwest until they were directly over our house and then turned north. As soon as we lost sight of those 2 lights, out of nowhere, 1 light came out of the north, but at a higher angle, maybe 60 degrees above the horizon, and was traveling south but at a much higher speed then the other lights we had seen. None of the white light objects we saw had any strobe or blinking lights of aircraft. None of these objects produced any sound either, I spent nearly 3 decades in the military, I am very familiar with military aircraft traveling at high speed and altitude and even they produce sound, and my wife is a very well educated nurse. I looked online to see if there are any satellite orbiting are location, from space weather.com nearest orbit in 100 miles to our west. Jet stream information from intellicast.com shows jet stream traveling across our area from northwest to southeast, so these objects were under there own propulsion, not being pushed by they wind. We are not sure what we saw, but from are stand point they would fall into the UFO description. My wife took a video via smart phone of 1 of these lights. We have noticed lights moving in the night sky before. Two weeks ago, the local news was informed of lights in the sky, and a story was done, due to the volume of calls they had received. I have also seen similar lights before and had aircraft change course to follow them, do the close proximity of the aircraft and speed they pursued they were without a doubt military. Last month I thought I saw one of these lights and can swear it actually dropped an object that looked like it was heading down, but this object I guess was most likely over lake Michigan, off Milwaukee. We spoke with the witness, and we found him to be exceptionally serious-minded in his description of the object. Because of his extensive military background, we suspect that he is an excellent, and highly reliable, witness. PD

Saw 20 to 30 objects fly over no sound. Light all around then and in them. Not too big. Not in no. line. look like orbits. Not moving that fast. like there looking for something. Said this was a hoax. I saw the mail seem like everyone wants to cover this up.

To Whom It May Concern: When I got home from the Bristol Pirates Game on July 30, 2016, approximately between 9:30 and 10:30 I went to walk my dog and observed a slow moving red orb heading down Volunteer Parkway from BMS toward the Walmart on Volunteer Parkway. It appeared as if it were going to pass over the house which is located behind Walmart. I ran inside the house to get my girlfriend so that she could also see it as it passed over. As I came back outside, I observed it traveling at a high rate of speed, heading southeast, at approximately 150 on a compass and observed it as it became a small dot and went out of sight. I tune into News 5 at 11:00 to see if anyone else had observed it. During your weather segment they showed a time laps from BMS camera that would have had the red orb in view. If you are as curious as I am to what this was, you may be able to pick up footage on that weather camera from July 30, 2016 between 9:30 and 10:30.

I have a similar sighting from one in Toronto. I thought they might be buzzards or black balloons caught in an updraft. Too freakin weird though. We were driving in a restricted lane construction zone southbound and I started looking around because our two 3G devices jammed simultaneously. The jammed phone is my camera, otherwise I would have photographed them, even though they disappeared after 10 seconds. Saturday evening on I-75 just south of the I-280 ramp, east of the highway over some industrial buildings or perhaps further away, looking over near the old Jeep Parkway. 20 -30 swirling and darting jet-black spheres slowly rising like a moving swarm. In the foreground I saw birds of similar relative apparent size that were much closer. My thoughts went from birds, to balloons, to "I don't know what they could be besides balloons, it must be a tangle in the wind". I called attention to them, and looking back, they were gone. I thought maybe the! y were obscured by clouds, but the way they moved it didn't make sense already because there was minimal wind at the time.

I do not recall seeing the sphere until the last picture I took when I stopped at the Blue Ridge Parkway Visitors Center. I took a picture of the sun along with the surroundings my entire trip back to Charlotte, however there at the visitors' center, that last picture I noticed what I thought was a glare on the screen of my cell phone as I snapped the picture suddenly there was a bright light, at the time I thought nothing of it thinking it was the sun, but later on I looked at the picture and I noticed the sphere had a glow around it zoomed in and realized what it was. It is in every picture I took of the sun that day, but the only one with a glow around it. The pictures with the clouds really gives you a clear view of it looks like. I will include only the picture with the glare around it until I can confirm this is a legit form I am filling out.
