Lathrop, MO
Orange/yellow light, at first I thought it was a star, then maybe an airplane, but it appeared as though it was not moving. It then started to look like it was getting smaller, so I assumed it was moving away from me, and then it disappeared. Then, I passed by some trees and saw it again; this time, it looked like a white ball that was on fire; the fire was at the bottom of the object. I thought it might be a lantern-style firecracker, but it was too high to be any kind of firecracker. It disappeared again, and when it reappeared, it was black; then, it seemed to be near the horizon and fell. After I witnessed this, I called my sister to tell her about it and my phone made a static sound it had never made before, then all went quiet, then my call was dropped. When I was trying to call her back, I was going to turn off my phone, and instead just the screen turned off and then came back on and my YouTube app started up without being touched.

I was at my neighborhood gazebo located next to a pond, when I saw a bright white light in the sky, it obviously wasn't a plane nor was it a bird! I took 3 pictures but because it was so small it only appeared on one. Although when I looked at the photo it appears the craft is grey, I biked home immediately and here I am!

Shoreview, MN
Was driving to work noticed a very bright light about 200-300 feet above ground. It was located in the Shoreview Army Reserve in a dense fog. The light shot beams through the fog and when my view became blocked by a tree, I looked again and it was gone. Later that day, there was an unusual amount of Army activity in the area.

Laguna Hills, CA
I was completing a report to the MUFON web site regarding an object that was caught on my vehicle's dash cam and wife's cell phone on June 16, 2016. While near completion of the report, my wife called me outside to observe 2 objects. She told me 1st object was moving very rapidly across the sky while the 2nd object was moving more slowly. By the time I got outside I couldn't find the 1st object but I did see the 2nd object. It was moving from west to east, was reddish/white in color, and was a little larger than a star. I ran back inside the house grabbing my Sony 8mm night vision camcorder. I was able to record approximately 2:50 of footage of the object. My camera did have difficulty focusing on the object so it does go in/out of focus; however, I did manage some good footage of it. The footage appears black/white/greenish due the night vision mode so the colors we observed will not be visible. I converted the 8mm tape to a digital format so that it can be available for online viewing and uploading. Eventually, it disappeared into the night sky as it continued eastward. We did not hear any noise during the entire observation. My family has observed similar objects near our residence the past few months. I personally have seen strange objects in the sky, once on the ground, most of my life but this represents the 1st time I have made efforts to record them. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Hello - This is a follow up regarding a report I made to NUFORC today. This event occurred on July 7, 2016. I am providing a link to my unlisted YouTube channel where the footage can be viewed. As I mentioned in my report, I converted the 8mm tape to digital format for viewing purposes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMonYzCv4XY (I named the footage Thursday because that is the day of the observation) Kind regards, ((name deleted))

Lincoln and Roseville, CA
We were driving down the highway and there appeared to be 3 bright lights in the sky. They moved into a triangle formation. Then a 4th light appeared and they broke up, all of the lights went it different directions. When I got to my house we got out of the car and we heard what sounded like an explosion. The 4th of July just passed, so I'm hoping that is the explanation.

Oswego, IL
I had seen an orange sphere traveling east towards Chicago. The UFO was flickering, and had almost appeared to be on fire. Went either threw or above a cloud but was still visible. Exited the cloud and as it was about to enter another cloud it has slowly faded away. But never had exited the other cloud. The UFO had appeared to be traveling at the speed of a commercial aircraft.

Parker, CO
Orange golbes flying west to east over front range at peak of fire works. 3 globes moving in a line, no sound, no other colors or blinking, we were watching fireworks from our yard, east of Parker elevation higher than denver. Flew over our house into the eastern sky .They were very high but kept constant speed and distance between the 3. Did NOT go to the airport. Within 10 mins we saw 5 more over the front range, must have been north west Denver. Again, orange globes but formations changed , some would seem to go low and out of sight till all were gone. Distance too far on these 5 to tell how fast they were moving but often ( through binocculars ) seem to hold position. I saw similar objects some yrs ago. 2 flying lower, no sound came from south but moving east. Same orange globes at steady speed.

Davenport, FL
Watching the community fire works in Davenport, Florida, I notice a Pale white circular light. My first thought was a spot light until I noticed it moving in irregular patters. my second thought was a swarm of bugs... then the lady next to me pointed it out too. There was maybe 150 people at the event. Not sure how many people noticed. Then 2 low flying planes from either direction swoop in. I live close to the airport, but I never seen planes fly this low. Right as the planes pass each other and circle back around, the pale white circular light speeds away, almost directly up, faster than anything I have ever seen. They hung around for about 30-40 minutes. the sky was hazy and cloudy due to storms moving out. it looked like the lights were shining through the clouds.... THEN... driving the gulf cart in the back of the neighborhood where they are still developing it, my son notices a pale blue flashing beam in the sky... going horizontally. with more pale whi! te circular lights floating around it, much higher in altitude this time. My son got scared so we headed back home.

4th of July watching the fireworks we were naturally looking at the sky. I witnessed a bright object that resembled a satellite crossing the sky at a high rate of speed at a very high altitude. The object suddenly came to a complete stop before scooting off and stopping again in sudden short bursts. It made several sudden 90 degree turns and twists as it continued to move in short bursts of speed. It then stopped the erratic movements and sped off at a very high speed across the sky and out of site. Approximately 30 seconds after the first object disappeared out of site a second object that looked identical to the first object appeared from the same general location as the first object and performed a very similar series of short burst maneuvers as the first as it travelled the same path and like the first object eventually disappeared out of site leaving myself and my fiancé baffled as to what we had witnessed.

I saw a Orange round shape in the east and when I saw it it was still, then it began to move toward the north at a steady pace. No sound, no heat. Continued to watch and as it got farther away looked like fire coming from the rear.

Lakewood, CO
I observed the first craft approaching in the sky at approx 500 to 750 feet in altitude, circular in shape, gold in color, with a pulsating red and orange light in the center. It made no sound at all, and moved from the west to the east on a linear path at a speed of about 150 to 200 mph. Never changing it's path, it traveled over my location and over the city of Denver and was joined by a second craft exactly the same, which had been traveling parallel to the first craft slightly to the north. Both craft seemed to come closer together past Denver to the east, and then turned south and moved out of my view. The first craft flew right over my house clearly in my view, and was moving in a purposeful way directly east. Again, it made no sound at all. I did not have my phone with me at the time. I wish I had a picture of it.

Sitting by my pool. Saw 2 orange round Fireballs in the sky moving around strangely. Grabbed my phone to go out of the screen in enclosure. Took a photo and only one orange glow was left in the sky. Switched over to video and started recording but the orange glow faded off in the black background. UFOs in the sky were in the Eastern direction from the West Coast of Florida.
