Kuna, ID
I believe it was Sunday, October 18th. I was driving south on Ten Mile road between Meridian and Kuna, Idaho. It was early evening and the sun was to the west. I observed a spherical object in the sky moving west to east. It looked like a big shiny silver ball. It caught my attention because the sun was reflecting off the surface and I could see the curvature of the object but no tail or wings. It looked like a silver ping pong ball. I don’t think it was a Mylar balloon because it moved smoothly east with no deviation or bobbing. It was quite high in the sky and my rough guess is that it would have been about 25 to 30 feet in diameter. I slowed my vehicle and watched it move steadily across the sky. I found a place to pull over and after parking my vehicle, I tried to find it again and it was gone. The sky was clear, no clouds and no trees or other obstructions. It should have been there because it wasn’t moving very fast. It was just gone! The total length of my observation was probably 45 seconds to a minute. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

It is october 17/2015 it is a cool but clear day here. Working in the back yard,cleaning up the garden,raking leaves. I am moving the compost bin when I look in the nnw sky and notice a shimmering object which I thought was a mylar balloon that was caught up in the wind, which was light from the south. I was looking at this object for at least 10 mins. It seemed to rotate,into red,silver and blue it was very shiny, because it was a clear blue sky day. It is hard to judge distance, could be at least 1000 feet away when I first noticed it,and it may have been there longer. As I watched this object shine, it was stationary at the time that I first observed it, as time passed it seemed to move away from me, still could see it rotate in the blue sky until I could barely make it out, when I lost site of it. It was just gone.

It looked like a large electric sphere that would get brighter than disappear then come back brighter. It didn't seem to move just float there and turn on lights then turn off did this a few times.

It looked like a large electric sphere that would get brighter than disappear then com back brighter. It didn't seem to move just float there and turn on lights then turn off did this a few times. One seemed a lot brighter than the others light and didn't show its self as often. I tried to zoom in with my camera and the photos wouldnt snap, only after I put the camera down then it would take a picture. I am updating this it lasted for 45< minutes.

Fire orange colored lights that moved around the outline of the shadow of a sphere, appearing and disappearing. Nowhere near the direction of the moon at the time.

Louisville, KY
At approximately 20:40 EST 10-16-15 a bright sphere in the sky was observed. North 25° moving South 195° +45° to +43° upward bubble. No sound. No triangulation. Two flashes in the northern sky were observed. The two observed flashes were very bright. Shortly after the flashes, the bright sphere started moving across the sky from north to south. The event lasted about three minutes. As the sphere came across the area it swelled, became very bright. The sphere dimmed and continued southward until gone from sight. Not the ISS.

I was driving home and had just pulled into our neighborhood. I was about 100 yards from my house when I saw the first craft. It was very unusual so I stop the car and rolled down the window to make sure I was seeing it clearly. When I realized that this was a very unusual object and possibly a UFO, I grabbed my cell phone and got out of the car. It flew in towards my position from the west. When it got at its closest distance to me, almost right over my head, approximately 80 degrees forward from me as I was facing southwest, it was somewhere around 1000-1500 feet in altitude. It was completely over cast with a low ceiling and it rained about and hour later. The two objects were below the cloud cover. It was at this point that I could see that this was a UFO. It mostly consisted of a well defined orange coloured corona with what looked like a moving electrical discharging orange light in the center. There were no flashing lights and no sound at all. The corona had a very defined edge and was not a glow or flaring. The corona it self was giving off light and gave the appearance that the craft was flying/floating in an orange coloured self illuminating bubble. As the craft flew off towards the east, the second one appeared following the same path and was identical to the first one. I fumbled with my cell phone, but by the time I got it to record, both craft were to far away to make out details. My video only shows a black screen with two points of light. The coronas where quite large in comparison to the center object and there seemed to be a darkened area or ring between the center and the corona. These craft were not moving very fast. Possibly 200-400 MPH. An incident occurred about 1-2 weeks prior. There were fighter jets flying over our neighborhood at low altitude and were going towards the direction that these two craft came from. They were extremely loud. I was under the impression that aircraft were not allowed to fly that close to populated areas. I don't know if these two incidents are related.

Eastham, MA
Two of the orbs were traveling side by side with the third orb zig zaging between them. The third orb then did a corkscrew maneuver around the left orb and they all cruised off into the distance. My yard is wide open and we watched it go an impressive distance silently for a few seconds before they vanished into the horizon.

King, NC
October 2015. Work 3rd shift, left for work approximately 11:15 pm. Drove around ¼ mile from driveway, and upon passing the end of a wooded area, my attention was drawn to my right and up, over a large, open tobacco field. (Approx. 22 acres). There was an illuminated green orb that looked akin to a Christmas tree ornament (the mirrored ball type) hovering at an estimated altitude of 1000-1500ft AGL. The orb appeared to be 30-45ft in diameter. I would guess the distance from my vehicle horizontally to be about 150 yards, as I had to lean over the steering wheel and look up through the windshield to keep the object in view. I witnessed the object remain at a dead stop, hovering, for about 15 seconds, before it began to accelerate away from me in a straight line. It accelerated slowly, at first, but smoothly gained speed so tremendous that before it had even reached the horizon, it disappeared. Was undoubtedly NOT natural phenomena.

It was at night and first i saw 3 flying objects at one line like the Orions Belt on the same level as the stars and afterwards 4 flying objects came behind the first 3 and behind those 4 there were 3 more flying objects behind them. Those flying objects were looking like stars but they were moving pretty fast.After what we saw with my friend we checked the flight rader, but there wasnt any airplaines over the sky of Jönköping.

Augusta, KS
I was responsible for closing at my job at Petsmart this specific night in October. Little did I know, that this would be a night I will always remember. As I got done closing, I walked to my red Mustang and proceeded to drive home. I had a thirty-minute drive ahead of me because I lived in a small town outside of Wichita. Between Wichita and Augusta there is a long stretch of nothing but fields and small businesses. Once you leave Andover, it is nothing but darkness on the roads. Outside of Augusta about five minutes, there is an airport. Anyways, as I was driving, I was talking to my friend on the phone. The Kansas sky was dark like every other day. It was as clear as could be that night and there was not a cloud in the sky. As I was getting close to the airport, I seen this big, white light in the sky. I did not think much because I knew planes were flying at this time. But as I was looking closer at it, I realized that this object or orbs that I had see! n was not a plane at all. A big light slowly appeared. Then another one would appear in front of it. Then, the orb in the back would slowly diminish and appear in the front of the other one. It did this about three times as it went across the sky and then it completely went away. I knew it wasn’t a plane because planes are required to have red and green lights on them. This had no lights period. It was just a big light. It is hard to describe. Anyways, about a minute later, the light appeared back in the same exact spot it went off. Now, planes don’t disappear in mid air and then appear in the same exact spot. The light did the same thing. There was a big light, then another one appear in front of that one. The light behind would slowly disappear and then appear in front of the other. I tried to capture it on video but I couldn’t because I was driving. After about two times of appearing and disappearing, the lights disappeared for good. It just vanished in thin air. It didn’t speed away, just went off where I last seen it. I was waiting for it to come back on because it did that before but it did not appear again. Still till this day, people think I am crazy, but I know what I saw that night and it is something that I cannot describe. I seen it with my own two eyes and I know for a fact that what I seen was not an aircraft at all. I wish someone could give me some answers or explanations of what this could be. Until I get some answers, I am fully convinced that what I seen was a U.F.O. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Edson (Canada), AB · Canada
October 15th 7:03 PM driving west towards Edson, saw an "air plane" get a little too close to me, so I immediately pulled over.. Near the rest stop looked up and this "airplane" had 3 lights that would flash from red, to blue than green the shape was different and when it jerked side to side I almost ((deleted--panicked)) realizing it cud be a UFO i grabbed my cell phone!

Cape Coral, FL
I take my dogs out every morning between 5:15 and 5:30 am and while they do their thing, I look up at the stars. I often see meteors and even the ISS and satellites a few times. This morning I looked up and coming from north I see two big glowing whitish orbs hauling it through the sky heading south, then they even seemed to be racing each other, with one getting ahead of the other and so on, this went on as they passed over me, a hair east of the big dipper, and kept going south until they were out of my view. They were very, very high and going way too fast. I have no idea what it was, so I found this site in hopes that someone saw the same event. I was terrified but I don't know why, it was amazing.

I was sitting in my den watching TV, the window of the room to the west and my left. A portion of the sky lit up a soft yet bright beautiful light blue colour, catching my eye. As it is a very hot night with no rain, it could not be lightning. Also, the colour blue was vivid, not white, like lightening. I jumped up to look out the window to see what it could be. As I did, directly overhead, heading west at a fast rate of speed, was a sphere the size of what appeared to be like a basketball or larger, the entire center solid looking with a perfect sphere of an aura surrounding it. The entire object was a very beautiful shade of vivid yet soft light blue, the center slightly darker/denser. It quickly shot west out of sight. Whatever it was did not make any noise. The colour of the blue, spherical object with the glowing lighter blue aura surrounding it was beautiful against the black sky.

Eugene, OR
Standing in my driveway in west Eugene I saw a white sphere shaped white light heading south. I live close to the airport, and see planes flying overhead all the time. This had no sound, it had no navigation lights, moved in not exactly a straight path in the sky.

Noticed in East direction a Orange Sphere moving South from a North direction. The sphere appeared to have something resembling sparks that would leak from it. Followed object until it suddenly vanished. (Note: I know what flares look like this was not a flare)

Owasso, OK
I was driving up my driveway from work when I noticed a shiny metallic orb, heading south of my neighbourhood. I parked the car half way in the garage as fast as I could and went back outside to go look at the object again, and it was completely gone. It was not the shape of an airplane, and if it had been a plane, there is no way it could have disappeared completely within 3-7 seconds. I looked all around for it to make sure I hadn't just missed it, but it was gone. I wish I had stopped to take a photo. I will keep an eye out to see if it appears again. I don't know if anyone else saw it, but I'm hoping they did.

Palatka, FL
I was driving down a long stretch of straight, unlit road, myself being the only one within eyesight traveling towards St. Augustine. I came across a truck on the side of the road with hazards flashing. As I approached the vehicle, I noticed there was a tall figure standing outside the truck, seemingly hopeful that a passerby would stop and help. I felt drawn to help as I got closer to the truck, though in my mind I told myself I wouldn’t be of much use because I did not have a jack or other repair tools in my car. I passed the truck and made eye contact with the figure whose features I was unable to make out. In the moments immediately following me passing the truck, I felt a sudden immense feeling of dread and negative energy, as if whatever scene I had just passed was hiding an extremely evil energy. A minute or two after passing the truck, I noticed behind me what looked to be a motorcycle light, though I knew it couldn’t be because it was too high off the ground. At first, I was uneasy because I didn’t recall any vehicles behind me. I continued to stare at it to try to figure out what was causing it but then looked up at the road to make sure I was not headed for a collision and looked back. Upon doing so, I saw that the light had moved in what was literally eye-blink speed to within a foot or two of the rear of my car. Describing the object, it was a spherical, orb-like ball of light with what looked to be a cylindrical metallic body that hung below it, similar to the letter I, where the light was the dot and the metallic body was the line. This went on for a good 30 to 40 seconds until another car’s lights appeared around the bend ahead. I looked to see the car and looked back and the light was gone. Two or so minutes after the car had passed and was out of s! ight, the orb appeared again at its original position, not tailgating me. Another car came and once again I was at a loss as the light disappeared. As I was approaching the end of the road where it ultimately splits into two lanes that lead through an urban area, the light appeared again. It stayed with me until I left the one lane road. Here, the light slowed down, eventually coming to a halt at the end of the road and rising to just above the tree line where it then again disappeared for good.

Port Franks (Canada), ON · Canada
Glowing orangey red sphere, not flickering floating at a constant speed and altitude. object moving steadily southwest to northeast in a straight line from Port Franks, Ontario, moving out over Lake Huron at about 10:10 pm October 10, 2015. Disappeared over lake, perhaps into clouds but very clear night. No sound. Sighting lasted approx one to one and a half minutes and was witnessed by two people who caught sight of it moving past a window, who then ran outside to follow its flight out over Lake Huron. Both are retired teachers and keen environmentalists.

My wife and I saw an orange-red spherical globe while watching tv at our lakefront cottage on Lake Huron. The sky was mostly clear, the breeze had been from the west all day and the night was cool, but not cold. Sphere was slightly flattened horizontally and emitted its own glowing red-orange light. Light was constant, did not flicker or change intensity. No sound from it or the wind - even the trees were silent. Speed was constant. It seemed to just float along but with the breeze coming from its side. It did not change altitude either but moved in a straight line from south (land) to north (lake). At one point, far out over the lake, it faded out, promptly re-appeared and then disappeared completely as if it went behind a cloud bank. Size and distance were not discernable but if I held out my arm to full length the globe would have been about the size of the end of my thumb. The whole sighting lasted well under two minutes.

Anthem, AZ
I was driving home, approximately 19:45-19:50 hrs. I noticed an unusual light in the night sky. I pulled over and got out of the Jeep. It was a sphere, radish orange in color. What made me take notice was the pulsating effect it had. It was not moving fast, so at first I though that it was a drone. However, I own a drone and mine make a buzzing sound, like a hive of bees. This object was not making any noise whatsoever. It was traveling from the West to the East, slow and straight. I grabbed my iPhone and shot footage of it. I am not the best videographer, but you can clearly see that this is not an ordinary air craft. At the end of the sighting, I hit the stop button, and when I looked back up the object was gone. I did not see it leave, it just vanished.

Florence, AL
First, let me say,I'm not new to these light orbs & I have been seeing these orbs constant & researching them since our very first sighting in 06.For the record,I have made reports here & to Mufon & have videos on youtube.Back in 2013 when the sightings got bizzare & frequent,I tried to make reports & to get more witnesses from UFO investigators but nobody would listen,so I quit reporting.I know what stars,venus,the ISS & airplanes are & look like.None of them fly silently right above tree lines & above you ,hover,get bright & pulsate,flicker violently & dim back out before flying onward.When someone makes a report & says "flickering" I know what they are referring to because I have witnessed seeing these for a long time & know their characteristics.It's not a twinkling star or a hoax as suggested at the bottom of 1 report here on NUFORC that was from my state back in August.Being insulted myself before,I can imagine how that witness felt. My advic! e,just because you don't understand exactly what someone is saying don't be quick to discredit them & say it's a hoax.If you see these orb ufo's enough,read enough reports,you will start to compare events & know the characteristics of the Ufo's being reported. Now on with my report. What's different this time is,tonight me & my wife witnessed 3 separate very bright orbs light up right above us in the air.To see 1 orb is always a treat.The most we have ever saw in 1 night has been 2.And I'm talking about the low ones,maybe a few hundred to a thousand ft high,not the ones higher up about airplane height.The first orb I saw by myself around 7:00 & it appeared to come from the north West.I can't say for sure because it didn't get bright for me to see until it was right up on me. Note:(this is what they do sometimes,we don't always see them coming from a distance,they light up in a instant in front of you & dim out in an instant)It stayed lit up bright heading south until I could not see it anymore. The second bright orb appeared about 15 minutes or so later about in the same spot heading in the same direction as the first orb but dimmed completely out within 10 seconds are so.A few minutes later,we saw the 3rd orb & it was directly above us & seemed to hover a few seconds as it was powered up as bright as it could be & then it stated to move,pick up speed & then continued to travel southward as the first 2 orbs. That was it, it was a clear starry night with a slight wind until the orbs came through.About 15 or so minutes afterwards it got really cloudy & we went inside.This was the first time of seeing 3 back to back like this. What irritates me is,we can make reports until the sun don't shine but nobody can come forward & tell the public what we're seeing? If you don't believe in aliens,you can say It's U.S.Government related but these are not just in a specific area like I once thought.When I see a video from a guy in Europe,Mexico or in Egypt & I can clearly see or read that it matches exactly to what I see with my own eyes in small town Alabama then there is a lot more to it.

This was the size of half of a hot air balloon from the distance from me.
