Wolfeboro, NH
I saw two lights in the nighttime sky. One was orange and one was blue. I do know that by law, no aircraft can have those colors. The lights looked like a “blob” and were large. They both hovered motionless for one min and then the orange light went north and the blue light went east at an almost supersonic speed.

Wasilla, AK
Orange orbs, which started appearing above the tree line. Sometimes two or three at a time, following behind the one which appeared first. They moved very slowly, without any sound, continuing across the sky, until they disappeared. It was a very clear and dark night.

Henderson, TN
Walked outside to retrieve an item from vehicle. Noticed three orange red shimmering sphere shaped objects in the western sky about 2000 ft. These were in a vertical line. No noise, and were not helicopters, weather balloons etc. Upon observing the objects, they moved side to side in an almost synchronized pattern. Realizing what this might be I Rushed inside to get wife and phone camera, and when returned, the bottom two were gone and the top object was rising into the horizon at an angle to the west, leaving what appeared as a possible trail of light. This is the object my wife was able to witness. Never have I given much thought to ufo's etc, but this is something that given the entire event of circumstances, I am not quite sure what I have seen here. Very Very unfortunately, I was not able to obtain any video. This is the part that is most frustrating

Gary, OH
We witnessed 6 stationary bright spheres one, the wing leader in front, 5 in the back all lined up, some were moving vertically and climbing up. Then 3 spheres went out like a lightbulb, the rest soon followed. Yellow in color. They were over Lake Michigan and we were on the highway, traveling to Chicago. I have footage and one photo which I'll be uploading. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I observed one very bright round shaped orb that seemed to hover over the treeline. It was fairly low in the sky and after hovering for about 15 minutes then flashed very bright for a fraction of a second, then disappeared.

This was a large round hot? object in the sky...with two long fiery jets from the back of it...and on the front (it was like a disc/ball) it looked very bright/hot too. This was not like an airplane and was travelling down towards the horizon...but wasn't falling or moving fast like a meteor. It lasted about a minute and we kept moving up the road to keep it visible.

Towson, MD
Unknown Object Report November 9, 2015. About 15:00 Towson, Maryland 21286 About three o'clock, PM, on Monday, November 9, I was driving south on Providence Road in Towson, Maryland, Baltimore County. About 50 yards south of Hampton Lane, I noted a strange white light out of the corner of my left eye. I turned my head to better see what the white light was. As I did, the white light became the size of a basketball. The white light slammed into the driver's side door window. This was accompanied by a sound similar to hitting a strip of grooved pavement, but only on the driver's side. As I glanced at the white substance (or sphere) that had hit the window, I noted that it also spread leaks of white substance on all sides of it. It looked like a water balloon does when it hits something solid. I sounded like a beach ball hitting. This took no more than a second or three. I am not sure. My heart started to speed up, but I maintained control of the van; I slowed down so I could look into my side view mirror, looking for anything I might had hit. There was nothing there. I slowed further so I could see behind me and on the right side of the van, to the rear. There was nothing. I looked around me for other vehicles on the road, but saw none. It was a dry, sunny day; likely in the 70s.

All of a sudden, there was a blue light that exploded in the sky and following after a pop sound occurred. Following the same thing happened with a green light after. It was the weirdest thing. Then my dog started barking and wouldn't turn her body to the window. She faced it and stayed that way the rest of the night.

New Martinsville, WV
Traveling south on route 7, past New Martinsville, WV, along the river, when myself and my husband saw a large greenish colored sphere fly across the sky, seemingly following the path of the Ohio River. It appeared for approximately 5 seconds then suddenly disappeared.

Was driving down the main highway, just passed a local pizza place (PIZZA PLUS) and I looked into the sky and there was a green glowing object that looked cude/sphere. It was flying down at a slope for about 10 seconds, and just disappeared.

Conroe, TX
At approximately 7.58 pm on November 8 I witnessed an orb like light above the tree line in my backyard. It traveled at a very high rate of speed. I also witnessed an orb type light going in the opposite direction a couple of nights ago but it was much brighter and was traveling in the opposite direction also at a high rate of speed. There was no noise associated with either.

Chippewa Falls, WI
Turned on to Chippewa Crossing Blvd and noticed the lights in Southern sky. Assumed it was drones or quadcopters at first. As we got closer, I thought maybe Chinese lanterns. We went under them and turn East on 50th Ave. Still could not identify what they were. Crossed the overpass and pulled over, to see if we could see them yet. Got out of the car and looked up. They maintained an equal distance from each other and traveled in a straight line Easterly, much slower than a meteor, which we were watching for. They passed slightly to the North of us and after they passed by, the leading one faded out and the second one started to fade also. Both had reddish orange glow with a flickering orange center. Guessing they were about 1000 feet high or lower.

La Jolla, CA
Tonight above the ocean in La Jolla (Windansea area) I saw a very very large perfectly shaped sphere of light within which another perfectly shaped sphere of light appeared. It had a blue center, which was slowly spreading. The orb was moving North and was slowly dissipating. There was also a very light trace of light, which was to the right of the orb, very slowly moving down towards the ocean. The blue color remained but the light was by then very dim. This took ~20 minutes. And then I had to leave. I tried to take a photo with the iPhone when the light became dimmer, but it wouldn’t show on the phone... Many people were looking at that on the street wondering what it was. U. S. Navy missile launch. PD

Marina del Rey, CA
11/7/15, 6:15 pm Marina del Rey We saw a bright white light shining in a 90 degree arc into a white cloud. We thought it was an airplane headed to LAX flying through fog. But there was no fog, and then a turquoise blue tube of light shot out and hovered over the marina. The white cloud became transparent and began to mist down to earth. The white light faded back and looked like 3 small vertical white lights surrounded by a white mist. The blue tube shaped light stayed in the air for 5 minutes gradually changing into an indistinct saucer shape. I took a photo which only showed the white cloud at a distance, but with lots of orbs in the foreground. I'm a registered nurse, my husband and my sister (all in our 50's) all witnessed this. U. S. Navy missile launch. PD

Poway, CA
I just turned on to the street on which our house is located. Maplewood St Poway CA is a street that basically runs in a northeast to southwest direction and intersects with twin peaks. I was driving east on twin Peaks and turned right heading southwest on Maplewood. I noted a object streaking in a south to north direction through the sky maybe 30 Deg above the horizon leaving a trail that appeared to be 6-12 inches long, as compared to 2-3 fist lengths at arms length. The leading sphere was orange in color. My initial thoughts were a meteor as the object was not really changing elevation. As I was pulling into my driveway a time span from my first sighting, maybe 30 seconds the tail began to dissipate in length to no visible tail. At this point I had gotten out of my vehicle and was walking up to the front door. As I approached the door I yelled for my wife to come check it out as it was changing color from a burnt orange to white and had stopped ! tracking south to north and became stationary. The sphere became extremely bright white and hovered at a constant location with minor oscillations. This transition from moving object to stopped object changing color from orange to bright white was maybe 45 seconds. At this point my wife came outside and I showed her the object. The object then appeared to move in a westerly direction from stationary on a slightly upward trajectory but maybe only a 5 deg increase. It appeared to be moving away and the sphere began to decrease in diameter. There was a bright blue halo trailing the object which became oblong. Over a period of another 45-90 seconds the object continued to receded from our position. However the bluish contrail remained for a additional 5-30 seconds . For some background I am a mechanical engineer. I worked at CCAFS in FL for a period of one year working for General Dynamics on the Atlas program. I have witnessed more that 6 night launches of vehicle ranging from Delta, Titan, Atlas II & Atlas V and STS. I have seen launches in dead night and near sunset and sunrise. The brilliant white light which trailed away from our view location was unlike any propulsion system glow I have ever witnessed. The color and shape of the plume was unlike any chemical rocket plume. Additionally the brilliant white color was brighter and very consistent in color density. Again unlike any view I have ever witnessed in the launch industry. What was out of place? 1. Transitioning from south to north travel at a constant horizon height to stopped. Tail to no tail and change of color. 2. Color of sphere or propulsion. 3. Unlike any medium to large chemical rocket launch I have ever witnessed. No small missile launched off a military vessel displays this brilliant white propulsion system. I have witnessed launches from VAFB of Atlas, Peacekeeper and Delta from this same location on Maplewood over the years. What can I say I worked in the rocket industry so it was a pleasure to watch night launches especially if they occurred shortly after sunset as you would get good reflection of the vehicle and exhaust. There is no way this was a military launch. U. S. Navy missile launch. PD

Elk Grove, CA
We saw what we thought was a police helicopter spotlight over the open fields south of Poppy Ridge Road, maybe half a mile away, but there was no sound at all. The sky is clear, but the light appeared as though it was shining into a mist in a cone shape from this round spot. We then thought maybe it was an airplane's landing light. It was moving from south east to west, northwest. Judging speed is difficult because I couldn't clearly determine the object's size or distance. But it went from a point due south of our house to a point directly west in the 3-4 minutes when we lost it in the trees. The object, after we initially saw it looked very much like a comet, with a very bright, distinct "tail". That's when I thought it was a meteor which would burn out (baffling, because it seemed so close at first). I grabbed my binoculars from the truck and looked at it, as it sent out an "s" shaped wisp of smoke or something and then an hour glass shaped illuminated smoke or something, emanating from the small round point. This happened over a period of maybe thirty seconds and it repeated this several times-I'm not sure they were at precise intervals. I am absolutely sure others looking at the sky in this area at this time would have seen it. Another thought I had was that it might be a multi-stage rocket, but traveling in this direction makes no sense. U. S. Navy missile launch. PD
