Fruit Cove, FL
You could see the ripple of wind current around it. It glided reminded me of how a jelly fish acts when it swimming threw water. It was golden red. seen lots of strange stuff but not like this. Would of thought it was a meteor but it changed direction and speed never dissipated

Royal palm beach, FL
This was a giant big bright ball that hurt my eyes to look at. I took a picture. It got lower and cars on the road noticed it and took off, people were sticking their heads out their car to look at it. As it hovered just above my car I saw a couple circles on the bottom and the detailing included smaller beeping lights. It was a ufo dish with a giant ball in the center. Brighter than the moon like an unnatural brightness.

At 00:19 I saw first what looked liked sparks coming off of a white dot that lasted about a second, then there was a flash of light, like lightening but it didn't illuminate the whole sky, just a flash of a ball of white light around the object quite larger than the small streak of sparks and then the most unsettling part, it looked like there was a tear in the sky that then closed like a zipper being zipped up this object disappeared into. There are no stars out tonight and very little clouds so this sighting was very clear and had to be witnessed by others in the area by anyone outside at the time. I'm compelled to report this when I haven't reported other strange sightings in the night sky because it was so much to see and I think other reports of this will come in and corroborate the event.

My dogs ran away and i was hollering with my flashlights. I saw a helicopter fly by and then the helicopter circled over twice so I started to record. There are 4 fireballs to my southwest. One of them went up and then all four went down. There weren2 witnesses with me and whoever was in the helicopter.

Belfair, WA
While driving through town on my way back home from a hunting trip, I saw what I can only describe as a rather large orange/red, orb for the lack of a better word, moving downward toward the earth. It wasn't dropping from the sky, but rather moving diagonally and downward. I estimated it to be several miles away toward the town of Allen, so between Belfair and Allen I would assume. It wasn't moving fast nor leaving any type of smoke trail. It had to be fairly big, because even though it seemed to be miles away it was still very large in the sky. My best guess would be over 100 yards long, but I may be way off because it all happened so fast. I was in traffic and obviously didn't want to have an accident. When I got to the traffic light it was no longer visible, so I started looking around for other people to see if anyone was looking and/or pointing but nobody was. I texted my hunting partner and told him what I just saw. I just want to know if anyone else in Mason County saw what I did, or maybe someone whom can explain what I saw?

Somerset, MA
One single orange-red orb traveling above clouds on a thinly overcast dark evening sky, from southeast to northwest in Southeastern Massachusetts, completing about 100 to 110-degrees of arc in 30-seconds before going out-of-site; orb was just like a flair, constant in intensity irrespective of observed direction as the object traveled toward me, over me, then beyond me -- traveling in a straight line (no zig-zagging), no other lights observed -- no white headlights, no red and green running lights -- just the orange-red orb; no sound; brightness was that of a flair if someone shot one into the sky observed at a mile away; theory it could be a jet from Otis AFB which does coincide with a southeasterly direction from Somerset, MA, but that would be a rare event; observer (me) is a Data Scientist, former Air Force officer, and hold a BA in Mathematics from the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth, having graduated Magna Cum Laude.

West of Gillette, WA
We were driving down I-90 West bound, between mile marker 95 100, at night when a green light suddenly appeared in the sky and shot down into a field. The UFO seemed to falling. It landed in a field with its light on for a moment, before the light died out and it seemed to disappear. There was only one UFO. The light was a saucer shape before it disappeared. The sky had been completely clear and there was nothing in the way of the sight.

Kirkland, QC · Canada
An orange coloured orb or fireball was brightly glowing in the sky. Almost as if the fireball was shining in the sky as its shining glares slowly moved. The fireball seemed to have been hovering over lac St. Louis. It appeared to slowly descend diagonally at a 45 degree angle going East. Once it began to fizzle out another fireball/orb would appear in the exact same spot as where it first appeared and would do the exact same thing as the other fireball/orb once again. Also, as the fireball/orb was making it’s descent it also seemed as if it was faintly giving off some sort of vapour trail behind it. This had gone on for at least 45 minutes.

Port St Lucie, FL
Was driving home. Saw what looked like a red ball moving upward. I pulled out my smartphone and started recording. As I continued to look I noticed it had a tail coming from the back. It almost looked like a shooting star but instead of coming down. It was going upward.

Rensselaer, NY
Oct.31st 8:00pm Est.Temp.35 F. Stepped out my front door facing West to retrieve my container of candy and flashlight. I noticed a few orange glowing objects heading due North over Rensselaer and over Albany NY. The objects seemed to vary slightly from a bright orange with yellow interference. The objects were traveling at a steady slow rate and equal distance 1/4 mi.apart from South to North. I Ran into the house to get my phone to document these bright orange silent objects. My phone had no data available at the time. I grabbed my 750 candle power flashlight and aimed directly at the last orange object and attempted to signal the object, it proceeded North and faded away over Albany.

Decatur, GA
I saw a bright red circle in the sky. It caught my eye because of how bright it was and I thought it was a planet. But then I realized there seemed to be 5 or 6 of them. All still, not moving, not making noise. Periodically they would move to a different location, but then were still. I watched for about 20 minutes until the clouds covered them. It also looked like periodically fire would drop out of the bottom then evaporate in the sky.

On my way into town, I noticed a pair of lights flying slowly in tandem. The looked almost like Chinese paper lanterns. The flew for a distance and then just disappeared. On the way back home, I saw four pair, 8 lights total, that did the same thing.

I'm a military veteran and have seen numerous aircraft, obviously. I do not have ANY interest in UFO sightings, or any possible nonsense that gets people caught up in this stuff, which I think is ridiculous. I was bringing groceries in my house and I noticed an orb with scintillating red lights. Thinking it was a satellite, I dismissed it. But this would flicker in an oscillating pattern which is uncommon for a satellite - thus piquing my interest. I have a 40 x 60 spotting scope, and when under max view, an image of a nebulous orb-like, trans-morphic disc came into view that would look, for a lack of a better description, something extra-dimensional as the red to reddish orange luminescence of it was entering and exiting this dimensional simultaneously - very difficult to describe - not necessarily emitting objects, but more of a hue that changes color - almost as if watching a photonic effect waivering from a movie projector against a wall, only many miles! away in the sky, obviously. The object is stationary and is not trailing anywhere. I apologize if this is a poor rendering of what it exhibited, but that would be the best way that I can codify it into words, as it is nothing like I have ever seen before. I’m sure it is probably some new classified technology before it is really some alien craft lol – but nonetheless, I thought it would be worthwhile to document this as something in the future we can possibly look back on to either confirm nor deny the existence of said object, or said technology.

I saw a large white circular light come below the clouds from my right. It zig zagged across the sky then zipped above the clouds diagonally to my left. It was a bit off in the distance and low in the sky before it shot off. The object seemed to be moving extremely fast and I only saw it for a few seconds. It was much larger than a star- a little bigger than a softball. The object looked a bit like a giant meteor but it’s movement of going up and down then shooting off upward to the left was perplexing. There was no sound. There was scattered cloud cover, but no rain or thunder.

Elizabethton, TN
Appeared to be fireballs with a dissipating trail falling toward earth at dusk. Two in number. October 14, 2020, 6:47 PM, Elizabethton, TN, looking toward Johnson City, TN. Witnessed also by neighbor. A couple weeks later, three similar falling fireballs with a fourth going across the western evening sky. A couple weeks later, one moving across sky in early afternoon sky around 1:00 PM. A few days before Christmas, two going across the early evening sky (dusk), one going south/north, the other traveling northeast to west. Both had long tails which dissipated behind object. Witnessed by adult male. Have a picture on cellphone of first one but picture isn't good. Wonder if they could be meteorites?

Howell, NJ
One object appeared as a horizontally long oval (width only slightly bigger than height) with a light green glowing aura surrounding it. The object was going in a downward direction quickly and was fireball-like. One witness still saw the object behind trees on the horizon until it disappeared. The object appeared to be a few miles away in the southwest direction. Between the time that the first witness saw the object and the disappearance was approximately twenty seconds. This sighting occurred while setting up a telescope (but not viewed through the telescope as it happened too quickly to attempt to view it and we did not want to look away) and no other unusual objects were noticed before or after this. Both witnesses are not astronomy experts, but beginners with an interest in space. One witness observed meteors from the Persoid meteor showers in August. To compare to the meteors observed then, this object was much bigger, closer, slower, going in a downward direction (as opposed the meteors which went across the sky). Airplanes were the only other moving objects in the sky observed that night. However, this object also did not appear to be an airplane (the unidentified object was bigger, did not appear to have an airplane shape, and an airplane would not have been flying downward as fast).

New York City (Bronx), NY
A blue-green ball of light shot across sky at a diagonal before disappearing. It was hazy, almost like how the moon looks behind clouds, and moving like a shooting star but close to the earth. Almost looked like it was going to collide with a building. Seen while driving on the Henry Hudson Pkwy.

Monroe, WA
Noticed an orange ball of light which appeared to be moving in a zig zag pattern. Then it appeared to ascend straight up. Then the craft went dark and appeared as a black dot in the sky, and moved in a straight line until we could no longer see it. Shorty after the object was no longer visible we both heard a high pitched ringing that we could not attribute to anything else.

Vinemont, AL
Came down from the atmosphere, very fast rate at around 2000 ft is when is past the sky turned into day it was brighter than the sun. It was dark and then light. I have no explanation for what I saw, it was here for a mintue, it slowed down, unlike a meteor its speed slowed to like a car traveling down a high way. It was so bright, like you wish you had sun glasses, it was 230am, Ive seen comets, and satellites, this came down to 2000ft, I work in aviation. Can anyone tell me what I saw that night. It scared me so bad, I went to my room and locked my door
