Council Bluffs, IA
My daughter and I just saw a couple of them with red flashing lights as we were watching for meteor shower. First one was going north so slowly it was hard to tell it was moving, till it was out of site. Second one was higher up but also going north. We are in CB. It was at about 12:30-2:00 am. Have also been seeing other strange lights cross the sky. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

It was just dark enough to see the first stars in the sky. Looking south, a bright flash of light caught my attention, so I looked through my binoculars that I had in my hand and told my wife to look at the light now dimmer yet travelling from the south to the north at high rate of speed, I could not lock on with the binoculars, but we could follow it with our eyes. It went strait North. my wife and I both said it was not a plane its to fast no noise and no viper trail then it turn left and it flashed bright light and was gone just like it entered, it was in our air space not outer space, this is not the first sighting of unknown objects we have witnessed, I don't understand why my wife and I have witnessed the different crafts over the last 10 years here in the north as well as Winnipeg in 2012 dec 19 th at 8 pm along with several other people on portage avenue at the stop lights, there are other sightings we have witnessed like a fireball over our neighbourhood, the same kind of bright light we seen tonight , as well as a couple bright light orbs 3 nights in a row ,,,why so many times.

I was driving alone at 12:08 PM leaving my house n seen chemtrails so i slowed to an almost stop to film them. Had not relied I filmed something else. I tried to debunk thinking my camera or reflection from the sun but can not find any rational answer. I have a galaxy note 4. Zoom in on the orb like figure. Not sure what it could be. You can Zoom while watching the video.

Le lundi 10 août 2015 entre 1h et 2h du matin, deux personnes observent un phénomène lumineux de couleur dans le ciel qui les intrigue. Un des deux témoins prend des photographies. Un seul témoignage est recueilli. L'observation longue (1H environ) d'un point lumineux se déplaçant lentement dans le ciel évoque un astre. On constate que l’étoile Arcturus était à l'azimut 283°, et 13° d'élévation, soit exactement dans la direction d’observation que celle indiquée par le témoin (intersection N104 / A10 à l'azimut 282°, élévation estimée à 15°), donc assez proche de l'horizon ; Le témoin a constaté le phénomène les jours suivants, mais d'un aspect quelquefois différent, avec moins de couleurs. On note le soir de la première observation, une météo perturbée avec des variations de pression et de vent (voir le relevé Météociel. Le scintillement des étoiles est très fort à basse élévation, surtout si l'atmosphère est perturbée (vent, chaleur), ce qui était le cas ce soir-là : on peut fréquemment constater un lent clignotement multicolore en observant étoiles ou planètes à basse élévation aux jumelles. Le témoin ne mentionne pas d'étoile dans son champ de vue, alors qu'il devait forcément voir Arcturus dans cette direction. Les photos n'apportent pas beaucoup d'information du fait du bougé important, et de la faible luminosité. Le GEIPAN classe ce cas "A" : observation de l'étoile Arcturus. [GEIPAN classification A — Arcturus]

Prior Lake, MN
This is not a report but an explanation for the Minnesota lights reported on Aug 9th. If the picture is to the south, it is most definitely lights from the Mystic Lake Casino. They have a light formation that is on every night. It is in the shape of a teepee but makes the ring formation on the clouds at night. Do a google image search for "mystic lake casino lights" and you will see. I see this from my home in Prior Lake all the time as the casino is 3 miles away. Lake Minnetonka is about 15 miles to the north. If the cloud deck was unusually high that night, the lights would be visible that far north and look exactly like they do in the photos on your sight. We suspect the lights were from a casino. PD

Spokane, WA
This last summer me and my son were on the roof star gazing, facing west we saw the red orb type ufo fly from northwest to southeast, then a second or few later it flew back northwest from the southeast direction until it disappeared. What I believed makes this sighting so great is that we saw a passenger plane flying about 2000k ft. below the ufo(the ufo was extremely high in the sky) so we could get a real reference of how fast the ufo was going which was a lot faster than the plane at a much higher altitude.

I'm a 55 year old Mom and was driving 35 miles and hour at approximately 9:48 pm down Bold Springs Road off of Harbins Road in Dacula/Bethlehem area and saw a large orangy/yellow orb light flying low over the trees and very fast passing from my left side about the middle of my windshield view and towards the right upper side of my car windshield and then out of sight over the trees.

We also went by St. Mary's Church and took a picture of the field behind it. There is an orb in the sky in that picture too. These objects made no noise, and we did not notice them. We saw them while reviewing the pictures from my camera.

Scarborough, ME
When I was observing the jets flying by, I noticed a light-silver orb shaped UFO circling one non-commercial jet approximately 40,000 feet in the air. After going around the jet, the UFO flew about 300-500 feet away from the jet, then disappeared. This was observed during an intermission period at Beech Ridge.

Sauk Rapids, MN
Looking in the west northwest direction towards Waite Park, from Sauk Rapids. Altitude was going by the stars. It was same height as the lowest star in the sky . OK, my best description. Me and few friends were sitting outside in his garage. Enjoying the night getting ready to go home. When I looked up which is normal I always watch the sky. When all the sudden I seen a bright glow. Its color was a blue silver start to appear . In comparison lets say it started from nothing there to golf ball size. Then continued to grow. I said my friend hey what look. And pointed right away he says ufo. We never have discussed between each other about our feelings of UFOs so I said u think? He says I don't know. At this point it has grown to the largest thing in the sky. I will compare it to a large beach ball. The whole time this is happening it looked stationary . While it formed to its beach ball size. The total amount of time was 45 seconds to maybe 1 minute and 15 seconds. Then faded in size and brightness to a very dim glow. My kids said they could still see it I couldn't . And my buddy said he could barely see it. That's when it started to move north . In reference to the Mississippi River. My buddy is a computer security programmer. Respectable, trustworthy guy. I told my girlfriend who didn't see it but was there. And she said that's the same area her and her sister had seen the same thing. And it did the whole bright small to large thing about.

Was sitting outside. I looked up and saw a bright blue light (in the shape of an orb) move smoothly across the sky. The light went behind of a tree, then disappeared. Possible meteor?? PD

Guthrie, OK
Large Green Sphere above the sun that looked like a planet split in two. Seemed as if it was two half planets held together with gravity or possibly a ring field like Saturn's. I took many photos once I saw object and later saw other smaller green spheres closer to ground level. The previous afternoon I witnessed large triangle shapes flying over my house looked to be 5 or 6 of them. These were almost completely invisible, but also have photos of this.

There was a blue, flashing object in the sky that was low and moving very quickly. It was so bright it was hard to look at and moved way too fast to an airplane or jet. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Centerville, ME
As I laid down on my bed, I saw these odd bright lights to the right in my window that looked like white fire works. So I got up and went back down stairs to get my glasses. I looked out the window at the base of my stairs to see if I could see the lights a few saw this satellite type object way up just kind of moving up and down. I thought it was like it was trapped and couldn't get away from something. I noticed a glow around my vehicles that suddenly dimmed. I went back to bed but stayed awake to see what was going to happen. The one thing just sort of hovered in that area. The lights on it would sometimes be one or 2 appearing to be white or blue but then it would change and become a series of lights in a line. I live extremely rural. There is a major flight path over my home. When a plane flew over, the object disappeared off to the left of my view. Also in the view of this window is a tree and branches of another. These trees are about 15 yards from my window and about 20 feet from each other. When the object reappeared it seemed to ascend from behind the full tree in view of my window. The object seemed pretty high up. It wasn't close to the house. It was at a distance that I saw this. The night sky was extremely clear. I was getting scared and woke up my husband. He said all he could see was distant stars. I have always been a skeptic on ufo sightings. I know what I saw and the way it acted I'm pretty certain that it was one. We did have thunderstorms pass through the area between 1600 and 1700 yesterday as well. ((ADDENDUM #1 FROM WITNESS))] The view out of my window is toward the direction of a town called Northfield. Before I went back upstairs when. I was looking out the downstairs window, the ufo looked like something (white laser beams) was being shot out of it. While I was upstairs, I could see the object moving side to side like it was rocking. It would also move up and down. It was more like a cigar shape than a sphere or whatever I originally check marked in the box. ((END ADDENDUM #1)) ((ADDENDUM #2 FROM WITNESS)) My late father in law also saw a ufo many years ago. He spoke of it up to the day that his alzheimers got too bad. He passed away in 2002. I never met him. ((END ADDENDUM))

Hayward, CA
We were headed Northbound on Highway 880 at around 930pm on September 5, 2015 as I noticed about 8-10 strange lights in a zig zag formation in the sky as we approached the Winton exit. The lowest object was about 50 feet above the fence line and they were evenly spaced about 50 feet above one another. The strange lights were just hovering there with no movement and were circular colored orbs with no sound. (I thought someone was doing fireworks). As we continued to drive Northbound I could see the lights in the distance still in the sky as I looked back. There was heavy traffic being a Saturday night so I know we were not the only ones who saw this spectacular event. We decided to exit the freeway to turn back around to see more but and the lights had disappeared in less than five minutes. I am so disappointed I was too excited to grab my camera because it was definitely something out of this world.

All the craft this summer have been round and not as close to the ground and not even close to being as bright as the CIGAR shaped one I saw 4 or 5 years ago, but they have all been in the summer. These are similar to what my son saw 4 or 5 years ago on the BIG island of Hawaii that not only terrified him and his hunting buddies but also caused their crazy mean pig hunting dogs that urinated and vomited and left Poop all over the truck bed. That one was caught on film the next day on the island of Maui. P.S. A large plane was flying the same direction very near each other. The pilot had to have seen it.

It moved rapidly but I managed to get my seven year old daughter in position before it passed where we could not see. It might have been a Mylar balloon, but it was moving way too fast for what I know.

Again only one came from the west and headed North East. It was just like the others but seemed to be by it's self other than a crossing satellite and large aircraft. I WOUNDER IF NORAD sees these. THEY NEVER MAKE ANY SOUND THAT I CAN HEAR. It has been 4 years since the last big one until this summer. I ask the ranchers around NORTHERN Nebraska to watch the sky tonight.

I was looking over lake Rathbun it was beautiful, the sun was past the horizon and it made a nice golden glow, went to make a video of it for my girlfriend. After making the video, I watched it, and I found that there were very strange noises on the video, none id ever heard before. Not more than a few minutes later I happened to see a white orb in the sky.. moving closer and closer too me. I went back to my car to grab my phone I had just put away to try and video tape it. The object then moved from coming to me to past the moon, the moon was too bright for the object to be seen on my phones camera. It's twice now I've seen this object.

Wasilla, AK
I was on the back porch of the Grand View Hotel in Wasilla, Alaska, that overlooks into the mountains and a valley. I noticed that there was a light off in the valley, it looked as if it could have been a big bonfire but I am still not sure exactly what it was, as there were some orb like lights seen there too (perhaps headlights). As I was looking I saw a big white orb light appear from nowhere, above the trees, in the valley. It was white and slowly floated and flickered out. I saw no lights that indicated drones of any sort that I know of. I went inside and asked the front desk clerk what was out that way, and she told me it was a residential type area she believed, but it is mostly surrounded by wilderness. I decided to be curious and sit and watch for awhile, went up to my room and got my long lens dslr camera just in case. I sat out on the porch of the hotel for a good 30 minutes, or so, and got some great footage of these lights swirling about in the trees. They would slowly become bright, and take a path, then die out a bit. When they are in two's, they would fly at each other. They are not lanterns as they seem to form in the sky. Mostly they were white, and would come one at at a time, but I also caught an instance of a white orb and an orange orb together. Some orbs seemed to form together. They would blink, but they do not seem to be the type of blink that you see on military or drone craft. Also it being so late and actually dark, I would figure a drone light would stay on, rather than just flicker in and out. The ones I caught on camera were closer in the valley, while the first one i saw was certainly in the sky. My footage is taken at night, but it would be easy to cross check it with daylight footage to pinpoint where the lights were. I would love to figure out what they are. To me they seem like mountain lights such as the Brown Mountain lights in North Carolina, where I come from.

Bozeman, MT
Walking dog approx 11pm south end of Bozeman. Waning moon clearly visible, looking southeast, orange object appearing about 1/3rd the size of the moon about one hand-width below moon. Did not move. I took a picture and the moon and object clearly visible, and to the right of orange blog a dark grey round object and another bright object, which were not visible to me at the time. Those last two objects possible camera artifacts, but the blob under the moon clearly visible and on photo (iPhone)

Reynoldsburg, OH
10:40 PM. 2 of us witnessed orange/white sphere high in sky from way far west traveling super fast, no noise, stopped abruptly several times and bounced around, continued westward. There were several (2-3) aircraft at lower altitude, at the same time as the object was passing. It flew westward and out of sight.
