Pueblo, CO
Observed a stationary bright crimson red , almost laser colored sphere in the north western sky . the object remained completely still for several minutes just above the horizon until two jets flew above the object . then , the red sphere slowly dropped into the tree line/horizon . the way it lowered was similar to the way a spider comes straight down on its web. It fell at a slow constant speed until out of view . it was somewhat startling how sudden and smooth it fell from view. I observed the sky for several minutes after but it never reappeared .

White orb to the north west above pikes peak has not moved. Been told it is a weather balloon but it has not moved in 1 hour. I have many witnesses. I made report to police and nothing happen. It is still visible now and has not moved. Cannot be captured on cam. Our Center has received a number of similar reports, both from Colorado, and from surrounding states. We suspect that the object may have been a helium-filled balloon, carrying a scientific package, but we have not been able to confirm that possibility. PD

While driving along 270W towards 71N on my way into work, I saw an object moving in the sky from west to east. It looked like a light reflecting off mirror like surface in the shape of a sphere. I have a background in the Air Force, and I watch planes flying overhead every day. This was not an airplane or helicopter. The object moved slowly across the sky and then seemed to disappear completely. There were no clouds to cover the object, and I searched the sky afterwards in an attempt to make sense of what I witnessed.

Port Townsend, WA
On June 26th, my husband, daughter and myself went to Ft. Warden in Port Townsend, WA, to fly kites. My husband and daughter were flying two separate kites and I decided to lay on the grass directly under them and take photos because the sky was amazing! The cloud formations and sun would make for a stunning bavk drop. I took multiple pictures within a 5 min period and did not see the white orb like structure until a couple days ago when I finally looked back at my photos I had taken. Out of 23 photos 6 photos show a white orb to the right of our kites. We did not see them at the time of taking pictures because quite frankly the sun was blinding when I snapped them. I showed them to a fellow we met at the fireworks show on the 4th and he was blown away and a follower of this site and insisted I submit them to be debunked. If you notice in the pictures that I'm sending in exact sequence as they were taken, they show up in different locations slightly. (I was s! hooting in a NW direction with my IPhone) Objects in photos are camera lens flares. PD

Garland, TX
Observing the stars with one of my friends when we looked into the Northeastern sky at about 45 degrees. We both see a large spherical light moving erratically through the sky about a quarter mile from us. It was flashing but with no pattern or timer just random flashes at different delays. It flashed with some intensity almost like a high power strobe flash or led. It stuck around for close to 2 minutes before the light faded out and then with a larger flash disappeared. There was no sound, no wind, no visual cause of the light it just seemed to appear with a quite literal flash. I attempted to film the Phenomena but was un able to get decent footage of the sighting. Animals acted very strange in the are having a large flock of birds take flight during the ordeal and then landing after the object was gone. We are unconvinced that this is a serious-minded report. Possible hoax, we believe. PD

Plainwell, MI
My husband and I go out at night on a regular basis and lay in our loungers to look at the stars. It was ten minutes after midnight, when these bright glowing orbs came out of the southeast, moving northwest. There were four orbs lined up following each other spaced evenly apart. Extremely bright yellow center with a glowing red flare. All the same size and looked identical. We live in an area with a lot of trees so they disappeared beyond the trees and then we turned around and saw the fifth one that was much further back. It looked identical and followed the same path. There was no sound. We looked for a structure that the lights might have been attached to but there was not. The lights were independent of each other. It is hard to determine the height but they were above the large oaks but lower than you would typically see a small flying airplane. I am the same person who reported two orange globes back in November 2015.

Carol Stream, IL
Forgive me if this seems crazy, but I saw something in the night sky I have never seen before. I am at work in the middle of the night and went outside to have a cup of coffee. We are a suburban area at 400 E north avenue in Carol Stream, Illinois. I looked to the sky star gazing as it is nice out and the sky is clear. I turned to the north and high in the sky I noticed what looked like a star, but it was moving around. I could not see a specific shape, it looked like a star to me, but it was not stationary. The object was moving very quickly and erratically. I looked at other stars in the area and no other star was moving and I saw some obvious planes as they had the flashing lights and moved in a constant direction. The object I observed moved like a balloon with air escaping or a kite on a string darting across the sky. I kept waiting for the object to move out of my vision, but it stayed in the same general area. The object moved in all directions and at times made big moves, darting to another area and at other times made smaller squiggly moves like a figure eight or a letter “S”. I called a maintenance friend of mine to verify what I was seeing and he saw the same thing I did. The object looked way too high in the sky to be an airplane, and did not move like an airplane. I am not sure what it was that I saw, but it was not normal. I am 56 years old and have never seen this kind of image and I grew up in the country where the sky is nearly always clear for gazing at night. Take it for what it is worth. I wish I knew what it was that I just witnessed. Thanks

Kuna, ID
I saw 10-15 yellow orbs floating upward in the sky. They moved east to west and began to descend on to the earth one by one. As they descended, many of the lights went out leaving only 6 or 7 remaining lit. Some lights came back on after having disappeared for a few seconds. The last light to go out hovered over the earth. I never saw it come down.

2 stationary white lights in a cluster with one brighter with several smaller lights just as bright. 2 clusters, NW and Eastern sky.

Dix Hills, NY
Object appeared round or spherical. Color was a bright orande with slight flickering but not strobes. Flying NNE to SSW at what seemed to be a high altitude. Total of 10-12 objects spread out over the sky (due to trees vision to the north is approx. 15 degree elevation while southern is approx 30 degrees elevation). Time from Firestone I saw to the last one was about 20 seconds. Watching them they were faster than commercial aircraft. Traveled in a haphazard formation N to S. The sky had some high altitude clouds but otherwise it is a clear sky. What caught my eye was the bright orange color with a brighter center, could not detect any sound. The more I think about the altitude, it was high but not so high that it seemed far away--hard to describe not knowing their size. I took 3 photos but an iPhone6 camera is not what I confided a camera. Photos came out as the typical UFO picture, a spot in the sky. You want a description of the observer. 61 years old, retired manufacturing engineer. Not much to me. Thank you for your time!

Objects were seen out below the north star. Both circular objects were red and moving independently of each other in a small diameter. The first one blinked twice and disappeared, while the second red orb stayed stationary until it, too, flashed several times and disappeared. Approximately 3 seconds later the first red orb reappeared flashed once, and again disappeared immediately.

Burlington, WA
On Monday, 06/20/16, around 9:35pm, my wife and I were heading eastbound on Highway 20 (Memorial Highway), coming from Oak Harbor, and crossing over the overpass near the Swinomish Casino. As we rounded the curve before coming to the overpass that leads into the Skagit Valley and flat-lands, I noticed a bright,white, light in the sky over the foothills to the east and slightly south of Burlington and Mount Vernon Washington. I was just getting ready to say to my wife, “What do you think that is?”, when she asked me the exact same thing. To the naked eye, the lights looked like 3-4 round, brightly lit orbs that were somehow connected together or touching, moving very slowly, slightly southeast. The lights just had a very floaty feel to them – best way I can explain it. The light on the right side appeared to separate and move away for a couple of seconds, then rejoined the group. The entire group faded out briefly, then reappeared again. There were other cars on the road with us and you could tell they were seeing this, too. A couple of cars pulled over to the right shoulder and stopped. I told my wife to grab her phone and take some pictures. We both have new iPhone 6SE’s. She took six pictures as I was driving. She doesn’t know how to do much beyond voice and text on her phone, so she didn’t think to use the video camera. The pictures are pretty blurry from car movement and her trying to use the camera portion of the phone. We did get the lights, though it may not be of much use. Included are the photos just as they are from the phone. This was the night of the solstice moon, but this was not the moon we were seeing.

Bright luminous green glowing round shaped UFO travelling South of Deer Valley Road, West of El Mirage Road in a Western direction. Approximate 600 foot elevation and less than 1000 feet from my location. It turned North West and proceeded out of sight. When it passed by I could see (2) white lights on top of (2) red lights in the rear.

One very small, white, stationary, round object. Simalar to an iridium flare but not traveling in an orbital direction. It moves in a twisting and flipping motion that caused it to either reflect the sun or disappear. This lasted about seven minutes or less. I opened the Night Sky app on my iPad that I asked my wife to get from inside, to see if there could be something in that part of the sky at this time. I havent used this app much, so I don't know if it would show Iridium flares. I have never seen a stationary one before. There would be a star around that area but at this time it was too bright out to see any stars. (7:45 PM EST) This was slightly south and east but mostly straight up in the sky. I feel it was too high to be a drone. If it was a balloon it should have drifted in the light northerly. It dissapeared or I lost track of it after 7 minutes. Mostly sunny sky. I did see a plane fly by to the west, heading east, at a much lower altitude just before ! seeing the object.

I looked at your website and saw the exact object you are talking about. In Ocean City MD, very high in the sky, I saw the rod that is referred to. No one else could see it but myself. It was clearly moving, and after I took 2 images before it vanished into thin air!!!!! I saw the image on Saturday, June 18th, 2016 at around 2pm.

Newberry, SC
At about 10:45 pm last night, June 18, 2016, my wife and I saw bright orange orbs/spheres drifting by our house. The orbs were completely silent as they pasted by our house, first one then another then a cluster of about 10, and finally others in single file going across the sky. There were about sixteen or eighteen all together. The orbs appeared to be in some sort of formation as they went by. They were traveling in an East to West direction. I stood there spellbound not believing what I was seeing, then I remembered that I had left my phone in the house. When I returned with my phone, most of the orbs had passed, but I was able to catch one on video. It is very shaky but it is there just below the moon. We ran down the street to find an unobstructed view and I filmed the last orb again, just before it disappeared. The video shows the last orb disappear; it also shows a green, three-segmented rod shaped something dashing around the screen, they are both loca! ted near the bottom of the screen, I did not see the rod while I was filming the orb. Anyone know what we saw?

2 large red orbs came into my view above a tree. They moved together in the same direction. NE to south. They were in view for less than a minute. 2 more came into view from same location as first two. They travelled the same direction. The final 2 of 6 in total moved the same in formation. They were like a star with a huge glowing red aura. All lasted less than 5 minutes. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

West Babylon, NY
1) I was watching the Mets game. 2) I always see planes from JFK's flight pattern from my vantage point on the couch of my home....the lights caught my eye because they weren't from a plane....it was glowing redish orange and they were not blinking like those from a jet plane. As they came overhead they were completely silent. I observed 8 of them...it was when I saw the 4th one, I went inside and grabbed my cellphone to record the rest of them. 3) I knew they were not planes. I live by an airport, and like I said, JFK's flight pattern is over my house and I am intimately familiar with jets lights and how they blink. There's the wing lights and the headlights...these objects didn't blink. They glowed and pulsed and were reddish-orange. 4) They moved very slowly...much slower than a jet. Then again....I couldn't gauge how high they were because it was dark out, but they were under the clouds at the time. They seemed to go in a perfectly straight line and controlled manner. The two I have in one frame on video flew in a formation and never strayed from each other. 5) I really didn't have a reaction other than I knew these were not airplanes or helicopters or anything that is currently known to man. This is not my first UFO encounter either...I've seen silver orbs during the day before...I just never got them on cell phone. 6) I lost sight because they eventually went beyond camera and eyesight.

Arnprior (Canada), ON · Canada
June 17, 2016. At about 9 P.M. this evening, my wife and I were sitting on our back deck enjoying the evening when I spotted a bright object in the sky. I was quite intrigued because it was still very bright and no stars or planets should be visible at this time. I got my telescope out to see if it was a planet but when I observed it I could tell it wasn’t because it was moving too fast, but not as fast as a satellite and it appeared to have an object tethered to it orbiting it about every 10 seconds. After watching it for several minutes and showing it to my wife, it suddenly shattered into hundreds of fragments that moved outward but didn’t disappear. I watched it for several minutes until it moved out of my line of vision. I called the Ottawa Citizen newspaper, but no one had reported anything. I don’t know it this was a true UFO or if there is a logical explanation, but I sure would like to know. We spoke on two occasions via telephone with the witness, and he is very convincing about his sighting. He has contacted to local press, to no avail, but is going to contact them again, in attempt to find other witnesses. Anprior, Ontario, is 56 kilometers west of Ottowa. PD
