I do not think it was a UFO. Southwest Tucson, North On Midvale Park, i saw a bright yellow light in the sky, bright enough that it made me look up, it seemed to get brighter in 2-3 intervals and then like exploded into a white light and appeared to go downward. I hope other people saw this or im hoing to think im going nuts. I saw the weird lights in Tucson several years ago, the same lights a lot of people saw. Object reported by the news as a probable meteor. We agree. See photos of smoky trail left high in the sky above Arizona. PD

Watched an amber-white light, about 4x brighter than the largest star in the sky. Unlike a plane or satellite, the trajectory was not straight, but instead had an undulating, dipping movement as it moved across the sky, moving West to East. Watched for 3 minutes, until it finally disappeared. Silent.

About 10–20 feet above very tall tree (approximately 80 – 100 feet tall), saw bright red, round, light. Appeared as though it may be pulsating. It wasn't very large. I don't know exact size. I sort of felt in shock, couldn't wrap my head around what I was seeing. My husband had just gone inside to take shower. I ran in the house, hollering it's a UFO, come see! I briefly thought about grabbing my phone to take picture. But, I didn't want to take my eyes off the object. And I wasn't sure if you could tell much about the object anyway. Absolutely no sound. Hovered above tree for approximately 2–3 minutes, then began to travel straight up. Then it completely disappeared. I did not see it travel up, down, right or left. Just disappeared. Then approximately 2–3 minutes later, it returned. It hovered above same tree for 20 – 30 seconds & then disappeared. My husband did not hear me & by the time he finished shower & came outside it was already gone. I felt like I was being observed. Probably not connected, but about 30 minutes later, my husband and I heard strange sounds coming from same general location (on the ground of course). We have a wooded area right next to us & it sort of sounded like an animal walking in the woods. But, we sit out on our patio all the time & have heard just about every sound & can identify typical sounds. This sounded weird/different. Because when it’s a deer, or other animal, you can hear it moving & sound moves/travels with the animal. This sound seemed to stay in one location. I don’t really know how to describe the sound, but it kind of sounded like someone/something going around in a circle in one area. We have neighbors behind us, but no lights were on, no flashlight appeared. We tried to rule out every possibility.

Heard the sound first of a steady decent... Noise was so close I thought whatever it was would land on our tent. When I looked up I saw a circular object flying very low and fast with red, white and blue flashing lights.

Aurora, CO
Directly due west of Aurora at 22:25, I witnessed what appeared to be a stationary red star, deep red in color with magnitude approximately 3 times that of Jupiter. Position of red object was nearly 6 o'clock from Jupiter's position. During observation, after approximately 3 minutes of observing while trying to determine what it was, I was seeing, object shifted to an emerald green color and began "drifting" - imagine a leaf falling to the ground. This "drift" pattern of shifting left to right in gradually increasing arcs continued for approximately one minute before object became stationary again and began shifting back and forth from red to green. Due to street light, I was unable to focus phone for photograph. Object remained stationary for several minutes, changing in color with varying speeds from red to green before it moved incredibly fast across the sky due north. Three "orb" lights moving in different directions converged on the place where object was last stationary forming a very accurate triangle before "blinking" out. They just vanished. Object then raced back across sky for less than 10 seconds, changing colors from red to green while doing so before moving beyond my line of sight due west. As a photographer and amateur astronomer, I've seen meteorites, atmospheric impact on projected magnitude of various stars and planets and I am more than familiar with aircraft and helicopter appearance at night - this was absolutely not any of these things. I can't tell you what it was that I saw, but I can tell you what it was not and it was not any standard astronomical object or known terrestrial craft. When we first posted this report, we assumed that it was sincere, and submitted by a seriou-minded source. However, that party has failed to respond to all our attempts to communicate with him, so we suspect that it may have been an attempt to hoax our Center. We are uncertain. PD

It would seem to be about two feet in diameter and maybe three inches in thickness. It seemed to be a circle. I have one photo which I lightened on my computer. It was a very dark night. I can see from that improvement it is inside my yard. I wonder if this can be a drone? Please share information regarding this UFO if there is any. We have looked at the photo, and suspect that the object is not an alien space craft. The quality of the copy sent to NUFORC is not high, but it appears to us as though the object of interest is in the near field of the camera, and probably is relatively small. PD

Cedarburg, WI
A round object appeared at least 25,000 feet. Object appeared through a translucent cloud. Object initially appeared metallic silver color then turned to a deep red light which lasted 2-3 seconds then disappeared. It never reappeared, but was very clear and solid. This remained still, never moving. It could no way be a plane or jet as the cloud moved uncovering the object which made it clearly visible. A plane\jet would have been visible with wings and would have been moving. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

The second plane looked like a jet, it moved directly towards the first object. The first object then moved or tried to maneuver away twice. The jet then circular around the moved directly over the top of the first object. Then the first object moved slowly downward and the simply and completely vanshied. The jet continue to search around in the same area then left after about 15 minutes.

On May 28th, 2016, I noticed an orangish-red circular object in the sky north of Sun City, AZ. My first thought was that it was a planet until it moved—not very much and slowly. This object stayed there for an hour while I watched it and was still there when I went to bed. I was wondering if anyone else had noticed this object.

I witnessed from our balcony what seemed to be less than a few miles away a bright orange and yellowish fireball falling straight down from the sky. The fireball went out before it hit the ground but it was coming down in the southern St. Petersburg area, or into the Tampa Bay waterway

I called my husband and he watched it as well. The light quickly began to dim as it traveled off in the distance to the north. A couple of minutes later a helicopter followed it. I live very close to the airport and Kirtland AFB. This was not an airplane, or helicopter, or satellite, but I thought it was interesting that a very loud helicopter followed the object.

Brighton, CO
While relaxing in my backyard, just sitting with my head back and looking up at the planes going over, I spotted 3 white circular objects moving fast, not in a straight line. Two of these were sort of together, and the other was off about 1/2 mile--all moving N, NE over Thornton, and Brighton, CO. The duration was about 3-5 minutes. There was one or two large planes up in the sky (don't know which airline) probably not more than a mile away from these objects. My mouth was hanging open the whole time and I did not have sense enough to go in and get my iphone to take pictures, but I called this in to our local Denver 9 news, but they had not received any other reports, as of the time I called them.

Squarish red/green lights flew over one at a time in same direction (S to N) over about a 20 minute period. Only about 800 feet above the sound, coming from the direction of the ocean. Very bright and colorful. Silent. Clear, starry night. We were sitting on an open dock over Bogue sound. Mars was visible.

As I drove home from a group study on this evening...in the southern sky were a group of lights. As I drove west on Highway 64 through Oakland, this round sphere of multi colored lights just hovered in the southern sky. White, red, & blue lights were in a circular form in a layered formation. White lights were interspersed with the colored lights. White lights on top & bottom of the sphere. It did not ever move as I traveled for about 6 miles due west. Then I turned south toward my home & I could still see it. Not having moved at all. I arrived home in a couple of miles. It was still totally still in the night sky. Lights were present in the same form I had initially observed. Very interesting.

Saw a solid red light with a slight aura coming from the SSE and heading to the NNW for approx. 3 min. Looked like it was following a normal approach route to Phila. Int. Airport. Guessing altitude was approx. 2000 feet. Absoulutely no sound. Light never blinked. No other lights were visible. Red light looked much larger than any other light I usually see on other aircraft on this flight path at approx. the same altitude. Again, light never blinked. Sky was overcast, but I could see some stars and other aircraft. Watched it head in a NNW direction at same altitude and brightness, until it flew out of sight.
