Went outside of office at 11:45 am. Casually looked up and noticed bright white object in sky. Grabbed my 10X binoculars and saw that it was circular, concave and a bright, opaque white color. Initially thought it could be a parachute but it never moved. I then assumed it was a weather balloon, but again, it didn't move for 45 minutes and it was very windy today. I did grab my camera and captured many images of it and was able to zoom in on the pics, but I still can't positively identify the object.

Hebe/Klingerstown, PA
At approximately 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday June 15, 2016, I was driving along a “field road” on a farm between the villages of Hebe and Klingerstown in Northumberland County, PA. I was with a friend and two of our children, looking for deer. As I came up the farm lane, directly ahead of me, I saw a glowing/fiery circular object which appeared to be enveloped in a something of a haze, lowdown in the sky, just over a small mountain about a mile or two from my location. From my truck the object appeared to be the size of a tennis ball, but it was obviously much larger as at least a mile or so away. The object appeared out of nowhere a little above the mountain and at a rate which seemed slow to me traveled on a downward angle from right to left and disappeared behind the mountain. I slammed on the brakes and exclaimed something like “what the hell was that?” My friend had been looking for something on the floor, and the two boys were playing a videogame in back, so none of them saw anything. I expected a huge explosion from the other side of the mountain, as at first I thought it was a plane or helicopter which was on fire and coming to the ground. However, when no explosion occurred, I had no idea what I just saw. Due to my thoughts that it could have been a plane or something like it we quickly drove to the other side of the mountain and drove up and down the road looking for whatever had come down. We found nothing. Looking back, one thing that seems strange is that this object had no “tail” such as you might see from a plane or shooting star streaking across the sky. Further, I have seen shooting stars and this was nothing like that. It couldn’t have been a plane or helicopter crashing as we would have seen the aftermath for absolute certainty. As it bothered me for days I looked around Google and found a picture which looked very much like what I saw, which picture was labeled an “Orb” in a setting of UFO’s. For what it is worth, I was not under the influence of any substance. I have never really believed in UFO’s despite once before having before seen several green “dots” chasing each other around the sky when again out in the countryside of Northumberland County many years before. At this point, I honestly don’t know what I saw, but I am very interested in learning more, and discussing this matter with someone more knowledgeable than myself. Thank you for your consideration.

I seen what looked to be a single very bright star in the sky after severe thunderstorm. There was still a lot of clouds in the sky but this single star stood out and was bright. It slowly floated up, very slowly at first. I waited for it to get closer thinking it was a helicopter coming closer. It passed behind a tree in the distance. I waited for it to pop up over the top of the tree. When it did the light was much fainter and smaller. There wasn't enought time that had passed for a helicopter to be that close to me and my husband then get that far away so suddenly. Then it progressed upwards at a faster rate behind the cloud coverage. My husband said he seen the exact same thing a few weeks ago while at work during 3rd shift.

My view is of North Phoenix, looking north over Deer Valley Airport. Object a bright light moving from North to South/Southeast at piper cub speed, 8K to 10K ft. Definitely not jet speed. As it got closer, the clarity of the light led me to believe it was a helicopter, and as I waited to see red/green lights the following happened over five seconds: the object, now almost directly overhead, slowed slightly, and emitted a smaller bright ball/streak of light in front of it, and then both faded and disappeared. Most certainly not a meteor - way too slow - I have been watching the skies since I was a kid. No sound. That was it. I checked my eyes and glasses, and it was gone. Cloudless night, slight breeze, warm but not hot. A few moments later, a helicopter, which was certainly audible, came in the same direction, perhaps trying to follow it?

I'm about 30 miles north of phx (Carefree/New River). Just saw bright white/blue circular ring (halo) of lights near central phx. was moving in a strange up and down motion towards the east then appeared to descend down and faded out (I'd guess West of the 51 , South of Loop 101 ). From where I'm at, I could see it was much too large in circumference to be a normal aircraft, and the dark center was obviously not like any plane I've ever seen. And we see the planes all night here due to flight patterns over our town and were arent blinded by the city lights and can enjoy the stars. Not my first strange craft sighting but first time posting to site, will be back. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Got up at 03:30 on 06/12/16 and it was back and still there when I went to bed. Looked like a stationary spot light I would guess 100 yards above the water and a couple of miles off shore. We suspect that the witness may have been looking at a celestial body, possibly a star. PD

Looked like a round ball of fire changing colors red, white, orange, blue, moving very fast. One went by then a minute later another then another. When I zoomed in with my camera it looked like the sun. Me and wife on our way home saw them at first I thought it was an airplane, but realized it was moving to fast. We have never seen any kind of ufos before it was eerie.

HELLO I SAW WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A STAR AT FIRST, THEN I REALIZED IT WAS BRIGHTER AND A LITTLE LARGER THAN ANY STAR I HAVE SEEN. IT WAS BRIGHT AND WHITE THEN IT CHANGED TO A DULLER COLOR WHICH I AM NOT SURE WHAT COLOR IT WAS BUT A FEW SECONDS LATER IT WENT BACK TO A BRIGHT WHITE LIGHT AGAIN. I THEN THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE A PLANE BUT IT WAS WAY TO BRIGHT TO BE A PLANE. IT WAS HIGH IN THE SKY AND LOOKED QUITE A WAYS AWAY. AS I WAS TRYING FIGURE WHAT I WAS SEEING THE OBJECT WENT STRAIGHT DOWN VERY QUICKLY. IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS FREE-FALLING TO THE GROUND. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE. WHEN IT WENT DOWN IT WENT DOWN IN A STRAIGHT LINE. FORGOT TO MENTION THE SHAPE IT LOOKED LIKE A ROUND BALL OF WHITE LIGHT LIKE A STAR ONLY BIGGER. SORRY I HAVE NO PICTURE BY THE TIME I FIGURED OUT WHAT IT WASN'T IT WAS GONE. THAT'S IT HOPEFULLY SOMEONE ELSE HAS SEEN SOMETHING SIMILAR Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

The UFO is a flashing light that changes colors sometimes and moves slow sometimes. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

My husband let the dogs out for the last time before we went to bed, which was 9:30 PM on 6/7. He was out there for about 5 minutes or so and he called me to come outside and said hurry up. He said look in the sky, objects were white and they were going in all directions very fast and then meet in the middle and start all over again. It was really weird. Never saw anything like that in my life. We were watching it for about a half hour and it was still going on and then we went in the house. My husband video taped it on his phone, however when we went to look at it the video was gone, but our voices were there. No one erased it. Very strange. Based on the description by the witness, and based on the duration of the sighting, we suspect that advertising lights may be a possible explanation of the event. PD

Saw 6 golden circular vehicles forming a large circle. I saw one more golden circular vehicle moving quickly toward the circle and flew through) it, and then all the golden circular vehicles continued to move along the sky. No noise was heard and definitely not an airplaine or helpicopter. Never saw anything like this ever before in my life.

We observed what at first was thought to be a bright star in a clear night sky. It was a bright circle of light and we noticed that it appeared to be moving slightly so we kept watching. Soon we began to see bright flashes of light appearing in all directions around the circle and then the movement of the circle appeared more obvious as it moved toward the flashes (the flashes did not all happen at once but rather separately; some were small while others were larger bursts). Also, the circle would periodically fade out and then become bright again. The smaller flashes appeared to be moving away from or coming out of the circle while the larger ones appeared to be static (these are the flashes that the circle moved towards). We watched for around 30-45 minutes until the circle moved out of our range of sight.

We have no idea what it was. On another night, about a month ago, we saw two objects in the same area of the sky that looked like stars but they were moving really fast then disappeared. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Two separate occasions... red balls traveling northbound through center of sky. First one seemed to "burn out", after a bit and then turned black, as it was still going North. The second ball about 3 minutes later did not burn out... update... as I was writing this. A third went by and burned out right over us.

At 9:15 last night my husband took our dog out and looked. The previous nights activity made him look up. He called me to the porch to look. At first, all I saw was the north star. Then I saw what he was talking about. Just to the left was a little hello/orange light moving fast and stopping then changing direction. As we watched, having our son to come out to watch too, more and more appeared. It turned out to be a smaller version of the previous night.

After the 3 were gone the 4th came in even quicker and larger. It also was round and bright orange like fire, but it also had an aura look around it. It to disappeared in the same spot as the others.

While walking my dog, I observed a circular object at 1945 hrs in the sky that was stationary. It was a dark metallic color. It struck me as odd that the shape was not moving. The object was just below the cloud deck. I thought maybe it was a raptor riding thermal currents; but I thought this was not possible do to the stationary status of the object. Besides, this object did not behaving like raptors I have viewed before over my neighborhood. I observed the object for a full five minutes; after which I went to my house to retrieve my bird watching binoculars (@ 1950 hrs). When I returned to the same vantage point to view the object it was still staionary, in they sky, below the cloud deck, not having moved. By this time it was 1952 hrs. As I viewed the object with my binoculars I could see a slight glint or light on the western side of the object. Suddenly the object vanished. I had the strange feeling that the object knew I was observing it when it dissapeared. I continued the watch in and around the same area of the sky for another five minutes ... it never reappeared. If I were to pinpoint the location I would have to say the object was over the city of Folsom, Ca, north and slightly east by Folsom lake. One thought that crossed my mind was that this may have been a mylar balloon, however at the height which I observed it, I don't believe that to be the case.
