Alamogordo, NM
15 minutes later, we were driving west and 5 orange orbs suddenly came on into view again. It was as if someone turned on a round light in the sky. They were in the air and just turned on, one by one. They were stationary in the sky. It was hard to tell how high they were but they were very visible and plain to see. We pulled our vehicle over and watched them as they flashed on and off. There were 5 that sat in the sky above the city. Then before they left, we had continued on home and didn't watch them anymore, so I do not know how long they were in the area.

Alamogordo, NM
We noticed some orange orbs flashing on and off north of the base. They moved at great speeds across the valley. They stopped on a dime, would dim and then light up. A few would sit together in a formation and then turn off and move to another location where they would flash on again. We watched them for about 5 minutes, until they disappeared totally.

Mountlake Terrace, WA
I was standing outside and looked up and saw a red and orange light that was lovely slowly. I watched it for a few minutes than it disappeared by just hovering and then slowly the light was gone. I immediately saw another round light moving sideways and then followed by another light shortly after. I saw about 6 of the lights and watch a few disappear. I recorded on my phone and took pics. The photos do not do the real sighting justice at all. I'm not sure what these things were but I've never seen anything like it ever.

Grand Rapids, MI
5-6 sphere orbs floating over a cellular antenna as we were driving threw the city on the express way. When passenger noticed the yellow/orange orbs floating, I glanced and witness them floating. I would describe it as looking at Christmas lights in the form of 3-4 in a line and 2 behind them in a line with a gap between them. After looking away then glancing back it disappeared as we drove in a direction out of sight. We turned around to see if we saw it in the sky and it wasn't visable. It was pretty noticeable and I am really hoping there are other witnesses to this sighting. I've seen this once before over two years ago in the same city.

Lakeland, FL
8 orbs of light in the skyabove Lake Parker power plant. Bright gold in color. One of the eight was distanced toward the eastern sky. The other 7 were in close proximity of one another. The 7 slowly dissipated their light until fully disappeared. The 8th one then came over to where the 7 once were. Stayed in one position for a minute then nothing. Nothing seen. It disappeared, as well.

Were seen for about 1 minute, before they disappeared one-by-one, faded out slowly like flares, but the red-orange color remained solid until they disappeared. The night is a clear, mild 60 degrees.

Pueblo, CO
On 02/19/2016, at approx. 1935 hrs., while walking into work, myself an several people witnessed several orange round lights in the western sky. At first I thought the lights were a formation of U.S. Army helicopters (Ft. Carson is approx. 30 mi. north of Pueblo), but realized the lights were orange and not white. Also no side aircraft lights that are required while flying over a populated area. I work hospital security, I am retired, but served in the USMC and was a Sheriff Deputy. Also standing with me was another Security Officer who is also retired, who also served in the USMC and was a captain with the Colo. Dept. of Corrections. I stopped the other officer an pointed to the lights, at this time, several other hospital employees (shift change) and civilians were also watching these lights. After I figured these lights were not helicopters, I figured they were flares. The lights started low in the western sky, over the south side of Pueblo, moved at a steady speed and after about 2 to 3 min, pos. more, were almost directly over the hospital slightly to the south. (Hospital entrance faces south). I have seen several flares, hand held fired, artillery fired and dropped from aircraft, Also these lights did not emit light like flares do. Both me and the other officer decided these lights were unknown. At this point we started to walking to work, then I got the idea to take a picture, and about a 16 second video. We entered the building and did not see what happened to the lights. Now at 2200 hrs., I drive our security vehicle, so I listen to Coast to Coast, and hear the UFO reports from Peter Davenport (?) so I decided to file this report. At the time I witnessed this, there is already a report of this. No further information

Nashville, TN
Same occurrence 2 nights this week – first 2-13-16; second tonight, 2-19-16. Both nights around same time. Both nights with same amount of cloudiness, just big temperature difference. Initially appear similar to spotlights but (1) no trail of light; (2) each would disappear behind clouds randomly; (3) area of night sky coverage too immense; (4) somewhat circular flight pattern while moving across sky; (5) immediate change of direction at random times; (6) quick change in speed of movement. Viewing from southeast Davidson County, Tennessee (Nashville). Two roundish/oval lights moving separately, crossing over one another at times and each would occasionally disappear behind clouds. Both with variation in speed of movement. Quickly changed directions, even a complete 180 at times. Viewing location less than 10 miles from airport with fair amount of air traffic. All lights on planes were clear and crisp, commercial airplanes far smaller than the 2 orb-sha! ped lights and undoubtedly flying much lower in the sky than location of the 2 orb-lights. I took videos on the night of 2-13 but only had my iPhone and the videos don't do justice. Can see the lights if watch in darkened room but it just didn't pick things up like a true camera could.

Tallapoosa, GA
There were at least 4 objects hovering over an empty field at a distance of about 100 yards. One of the objects appeared to be a green light but then it turns and was in fact green and red,it looked like an insect. The others looked like a street light glow, only there were no street lights in the field. They hovered for hours. There was no sound coming from the these aircraft.

We immediately noticed a green light about 2 and a half to 3 feet above the ground. We both noticed after a few seconds that it was moving. It was moving in such a way that it looked like it was a bobble head. The terrain in this field is bumpy and could be an explanation for this movement. Anyhow, we keep watching in awe at this green light moving. It made no noises at all. We then notice that it's moving toward us. I immediately get freaked out and want to leave. My husband who is more curious than I am, decides to get out his spotlight to shine on this green orb light to see what it is. Oddly, when he shines his bright spotlight on it, it starts re! tracting. Still looking "bobbily". We know that it was retracting because the light was getting smaller and you could visibly tell it was moving backwards. He stops shining the light on it and it would start coming back towards us. It was like this green light was "scared" of the bright spotlight. He did this off and on for about 10 minutes. While we were sitting there his truck dash lights and headlights flickered a few times and it made a clicking sound when the lights flashed. The truck was off and had been off since we pulled up. Before I could convince him to leave he took pictures of the green light. We left. We returned at daylight and could see these very narrow tracks in the same spot we saw this light. I will also add that there are no houses within 200 yards either way where this light was. There were also no vehicles or other people around. I also want to add to this that the reason I wanted to leave after shortly arriving is because I felt t! hreatened some how by this green orb light. I felt as if we we! re tresp assing on its territory. We haven't told many people but the ones we have told ask if we reported it to MUFON. We had been skeptical about reporting it, but decided we should go ahead with a report. I have a few pictures I want to submit with my report. I am just wondering if anyone else has experienced this or if anyone has a logical explanation that we have not already considered.

Does a white moving dot, South to North-ish, what resembled a satellite , zig zag then make a sharp turn ? or do they go in a straight orbit ? Just wondering.. Malfunctioning satellite, or testing of space tech? Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Anchorage, AK
Last night at 8:45 PM Alaska Time, my wife and I were watching TV, We live in the mountains above Anchorage, AK I shot this video with IPhone of an object that was hovering for about 3 – 4 minutes right in front of our house last night. When it first showed up, it was a complete orb without any ‘hole’ in the middle. It was super bright and made absolutely no noise. It just hovered in front of the house. As it started to ascend, it began to change to the object he captured. After I filmed this, I switched to looking through binoculars. It continued to ascend and I saw it go from the orb to finally a very clear triangle with nothing in the middle. Kind of like the old cowboy dinner bells. Through the binoculars, it suddenly showed what I’ll call ‘radio waves’. Then suddenly it disappeared…. not into the clouds…. just poof, gone. Video on NUFORC homepage. PD

Driving home from parry sound, Ontario. Me and my girlfriend plus my daughter had alll seen the ball of light in the sky and my daughter who is four was terrified that she didn't know what it was cause we always see planes and know what they look like flying by our area. We we're approaching and it was furthering it self up the strip of road off to the side floating up high enough but pretty Low for a plane or helicopter I would have heard it. It was really bright white ball orb In The sky. It moved almost as fast as we were approaching kind of like it was trying not to be noticed. But I noticed first and at first it seemed to be over 20 feet above the tree line maples. But as it got further it slightly got higher. It moved slowly in a diagonal direction as where if I went back to where I first spotted it. I wouldn't have been able to see it anymore. When we got to where it started to pass over road it could be noticed that it was slowly getting further away and leaving the area. We got home and looked to where the light would be out our window and I could see it was below the tree line now and staying in one spot eerily in line with the window on its same diagonal path It did not have the blue or red plane indicator lights or even the green Just a bright white. Maybe 5 mins after it was noticed behind tree line about 500 yards away. It was gone completely I also went outside and looked around sky to and noticed that there was a plane or helicopter flying in the direction that the UFO was going. Although it was slight off on the exact path as if it was chasing blindly without radar. Just a thought... There's not much around here but forest lots of it to and the direction it was heading was a giant bay Georgian Bay! I believe this was a legitimate sighting I didn't see anyone else looking at it though. On my way past all the houses Rural location but house were side by side about 40 to 50 feet apart I will look right now as it's around the same time for the light and try to get video Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Hong Kong (pilot report; in-flight), Hong Kong
I am a Captain for an airline based in China. Last night, February 17, 2016, at approximately 1144 UTC, approaching position waypoint Dotmi, which is the boundary for Hong Kong and Guangzhou airspace, at FL330, heading 340°, myself and First Officer notice a bright object in the mid Northern sky at very high altitude, surrounded in a blue haze/halo, that was stationary. This object was reported by another pilot from another airline on the frequency in use. The object appeared to remain stationary for 2-3 minutes, surrounded in blue haze. The surrounding stars were clear. There were no high level clouds. The object then moved in a southerly direction, appearing to accelerate before turning onto an easterly direction. As it came close to overhead our position, the object momentarily increased in light intensity, then disappeared from view. I reported the sighting on a pirep (pilot report) frequency. I got a response from a southbound airliner, at the Fukuoka/Incheon airspace boundary who saw the same object on an easterly track. He reported that it was his second sighting. I estimate the altitude of this object to be in excess of 60,000ft. The sky was dark, approximately 1 hr or so after evening civil twighlight. There were no high level clouds the night sky, and the intensity of the light was the same as what you would see when Venus is in its lower levels on the horizon. The only possible explanation I have is that it was the ISS, but according to NASA website, its track should have been further to the west of our location, at that time. Do you have someone who can confirm the exact position of ISS at the given time? Do you have any idea what we may have seen? I am happy to provide further details, but would rather investigate sensible explanations before making a false claim. Look forward to hearing your thoughts. Regards, ((name deleted ((

I got up and ran outside. He said there they are over there. I said where I don't know what I'm looking for. He pointed and then I seen 1 very faint neon orange circular orb. It appeared to move closer to us. Then back and fourth. At times, it got very bright. And then would fade as though it was moving through the couds. (It's cloudy tonight and I was unable to see any stars) we watched this orb as it moved front back and side to side and it was no plane. It then just disappeared to my left. As soon as it disappeared, the other one that was to the right and higher got very bright as it moves left from a standing still location. It then changed direction sharply and came our direction. It was very bright. It then stopped moving forward and just stood still. It then went backwards and disappeared. I know one of the neighbors down the rd see them because I heard them get excited and yell, "There it is, it's back." However, I don't know which neighbor it was. We live in the country. No street lights, no traffic lights. Just peace and quiet. I have seen and had lot of random activity growing up out here. This is my first time I have ever posted on any official account log. With my kids seeing it, and the neighbors, w my history of what I've seen... I just want to know if others are seeing the same things we are in this area. I've even seen the Fairchild Air Force base planes and choppers chase n or track these objects. I just want to know... am. I alone in this in this area? Thank you.

Hertford, NC
We were driving south on Snug Harbor Rd.--between Rt 17 and Burnt Mill Rd. A round object came across the sky from an east to west direction. The object appeared to be on fire with a green flame and a tail. It was not very high in the sky, we could see alot of detail. It seemed to disappear - we did not see it drop (but since it was dark we would not have seen it fall once the flame went out). Approx. latitude 36.119282 - Approx longitude -76.482885

I was flying in my airplane from California and just as we started our decline I looked out the window. Maybe 50 yards from the wing of the plane was a red ball like orb flying. It was traveling extremely fast then down shifted and zig zagged before it sped off extremely fast past the tail of the plane. The ball looked maybe the size of a beach ball. We were definitely too high in the air for it to be a balloon or drone, not to mention the very strange way it was flying, as if it was observing the airplane I was in.

orange orbs or spheres, flying in formation some materializing from nowhere, no sound whatsoever, then some that were in the front ascended quickly and out of sight, the others seem to move slower, they were no aircraft red or white blinking lights etc present I thought drones at first but I do not think they were, helicopters came later, the ones that flew out of sight flew in a east direction and continued to climb very high until they were out of sight and gone, used my phone to video them, they were orange to my eyes but on the video and screen capture they were light white light.

We were at the beach we saw a solid red light slowly coming towards us. It was low to the ground then it hovered for a minute. Then it abruptly made a right angle turn and zoomed off to the south and up at an incredible speed.

Observed what appeared to be a planet or star in the eastern sky at about 45 degrees above the horizon. At first it seemed stationary, but after observing it for over an hour, it seemed to slowly move to the southeast. The moon was out too, but the object's movement did not follow the arc of the moon. It seemed to grow more distant over time, and eventually became unobservable. I called it to the attention of my friend who was visiting from out of town. We were both astonished by it. It did not flicker, but was a steady white orb for the duration of the observation.

We watched a round white orb move slowly from north to south, no lights no sound. With naked eye, it appeared to have vapor trail, but with high powered binoculars, it was perfectly round. Duration 1 hour +.
