Spherical craft seemed to rise up from the approximate coordinate 28.569478, -81.307457 and pass due south over 28.539585, -81.305258. It traveled at a high rate of speed (from just above "horizon" to past and beyond the buildings to south in 15 or so seconds). It could have been traveling up and then went south or might have been further away and seem to be rising first. I estimate that is 3.5 miles in 15 seconds or 840mph. It also preceded a southward moving storm and traveling in the center of the airport landing flight paths. The object had no details or irregularities--just a plain sphere. I thought it might be the bulb of a helicopter at first, but it flew directly above me in clear sky and had no tail or rotor. It started white (almost bright as it seemed to be ascending) and turned grey as it passed overhead, like moving to the shadow side of a sphere but the sun was west and low at 6:30pm. I didn't have my camera ready (doh!) and my wife dismissed it as a helicopter at range and then walked away. Ultimately it is only my witness testimony…

I was sunbathing in my garden, when I looked up and saw what I think and believe to be a sundog. I went in and grabbed my mobile phone and took several photographs of it. I took them lying on the ground looking up. I came in immediately to look at the photo's and saw in all of them a round orb. In one photo, it appears within the ring of the sundog and in another taken less than a second after it appears outside of the sundog. It was white and had several lights on it. In all pics there are different numbers of lights. Obviously being so close to the sun, I didn't see anything with the naked eye. It wasn't the moon as I could see the moon in a crescent over in the western sky. I am more than happy to send you the photo's as I am desperate to know what this object is. Probably a lens flare, we suspect. PD

Saw a white orb enter a small cloud towards the west of Harmony library. It moved in a zig-zag motion before entering the cloud. I observed the cloud for several minutes afterwards to see if it would reappear. It did not. I took two photos of the clouds, but I did not see the orb at this time.

Witnessed something tonight not sure what really, but if I had to guess must be ufo, it was orange in color seemed to do a radial rotation in the sky large envelope 6 mile radius best I could make out was orange light, at first my mom saw it and I was in disbelief the whole time cause it wasn't moving fast or anything just kinda doing this large circular movement like maybe 6 mile radius north to south so I thought it was normal she had been watching longer than me and she was insistent it was ufo so I got my only digital camera casio 7.2 meg shot some pics not sure what I got yet haven't even looked as I type but as I'm out there with my mom we watched it go out of sight and then from the direction it disappeared saw what I can best describe as a shooting star come from that same direction of the same caliber and same color my camera didn't get that part though only the part where it was moving slow enough maybe I got something I dunno.

As the one finished its circle it moved away as it was orbiting the stationary object. It stopped for about 20 seconds then slowly moved out of orbit and faded. The stationary sphere slowly faded about 30 seconds after the first one faded. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

My girl and I were leaving Cincinnati heading north on i75. It was about a couple miles after we past the Cincinnati Outlet Malls. We saw some strange activity west of the highway. We agreed it wasn't an airplane or any sort of common explanation. We saw an orb it the sky. (Note: its not jupiter.) It had me curious, so I keep my eyes on it. Then not too long after that three more orbs came out one at a time. They would line up with the mother orb and then all go back inside til we saw the vision of one orb again. That was all we saw because of cloud cover that night. I've seen recent videos of this particular UFO activity and this is what it reminded me of.

single orb like object humming and hovering above myself and a friend whilst we were camping in the woods in hammocks. Orb hummed as it came close to us and briefly stopped above us, then seemed to quickly dart off as we became aware of its presence. Could also hear voices in the woods that night, not sure if it was other people or related to incident. Not sure on the time or how long the incident lasted. Felt like a short amount of time but then I recall when checking the time more time had passed than I thought had.

Me and my fiance came home the night of july 7th around 11:00 pm., and my fiance's friend (who had just dropped us off) calls and says theirs extremely bright orbs and flashing lights behind our house! i hear my fiance say "what is it still there!?" and we jumped out our bedroom window on to the roof and we see flashing every couple minutes which looked almost like lightning, it lit up the whole sky. but it was changing colors and coming from the same spot. (and it wasn't a light device or anything.(it was in our 85 year old neighbors yard.) Then we heard another neighbor's horse cry which was pretty close to it and our 4 dogs started freaking out and this extremely bright! white light orb type of flying object appears at the top of a tree hovering and was moving to the left slowly in increments then another one appeared on the ground below it. The one above the tree then appeared to be following a plane that was leaving the airport pretty close to our house, the lights were too bright to see any details other than that the light seemed to be circular. A minute later they blinked then disappeared then we saw a tiny thing jetting through the stars.and it looked like there was dark a cloud all around his property this whole time that then dissipated.and i also had the eeriest feeling the whole time it made me feel like i was having an anxiety attack.We didn't sleep till like 4 or 5 am. The next morning i went over t my neighbors house and told him what we had saw but he has been in bed already. As i was walking back towards our house i see a trail of black dust that slowly vanishes into thin air. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I was walking my sisters dog around the subdivision when I noticed a bright blue circular light from the corner of my eye. I paid it a little attention because it was the biggest light in the sky and I felt it didn't belong there. As the dog was relieving herself I noticed the object began to move and that's when I pulled out my IPhone and began recording. The sphere then turned red and began moving slowly back the opposite way. It then paused and hovered over the trees and shot straight down behind the trees .

((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Sorry I missed your call, I was still stuck on july 4th, the event actually took place this morning 07/05/15 at 12:30am. Also this was definitely not a Chinese lantern, or anything like that, I've witnessed those being launched before and they're really slow, the object I saw was very, very high in the sky and then it just took off soo dang fast ive never seen anything like it ever before! ((END ADDENDUM)) Date may be flawed. We have attempted to contact the witness. PD

Just before midnight, after all firework shows had finished for the night.. Partly cloudy with high Cirrus clouds, partial moon.. 3 orange globes, about the size of my pinky nail at arm's lenth.. Easily big enough to resolve with binoculars or other sighting device, but unfortunately, I didnt have one ready.. 3 Objects came into view from the south and continued due North. We were able to watch their entire track from almost horizon to horizon. All 3 orange globes were following the same track, about 15 seconds behind each other, and completed the horizon to horizon track in less than 1 minute. The objects were BELOW the cloud base (eliminates meteors), moving VERY fast, and made absolutely ZERO sound. Fireworks would be an impossibility because of the duration, speed, and precision track of the objects. I am prior Air Force, so I have extensive experience in what night flight aircraft look and sound like, expecially on clear quiet nights.. My first instinct was that these were aircraft in full military power afterburners. But again, there was NO sound, and afterburners are VERY loud, especially at that relatively low altitude.. There was one other witness to this event.. First time in my life I can't explain away something I've seen.

Orange-red pulsating object.. Hovering in the sky. Although no one seemed to notice.. I went out on my balcony and observed. The object slowly drifted off.. Then with a flash.. It disappeared. We have amended the time above, to reflect an evening sighting. PD

Parked in front of my house, got out of car and faced east where the sun rises and seen two very large craft. Glowing a vibrant orange and each having 4 lights facing us at all times in a diamond shape on the craft. If the lights where a compass east and west would red lights while south and north would be white lights. All of our phones where dead so I got my neighbor to come out with her phone and record it. We have about a two minute video of this. The lights where mesmerizing and seemed to be blinking in a counter clockwise rotation. As the original two moved left and right up and down in a fashion that is impossible of any known technology or aircraft known to man, they where completely silent, as the two headed due south and left the atmosphere with a small flash they rendered on the same path the took the first time only this time a third caught up with them from the same path about 4 to 5 seconds behind them. As they entered the atmosphere and where further away, they actually appeared larger than when they got close, maybe from the heat and extreme tempature of the air around the craft as it entered the atmosphere they all three eventually met up in a reverse delta formation and left the atmosphere. At same time directly under them I witnessed what seemed to be an orb comeout of a house and shoot into the street light. I have video of this from a cell phone. All this happened in the course of about 4 mins.

Otter Tail, MN
While attending an open air concert, In Ottertail, MN, A number of red orbs appeared from the southern horizon and moved slowly in a single and very straight file to the northern horizon. Almost as if on parade. They were about 10 degrees apart. The last two that went over were slightly out of line with the previous 30 or 40. I was filming the event, and while I did not take video, I did use my camera and took many photos with my zoom lens. They looked like red stars. I was guessing if they were three feet across, they might be 1000 to 1500 feet, but it was impossible to discern their altitude. I zoomed in with my camera to see if I could see green and or white lights on the wing tips of a plan. But no flashing or strobe. It was a perfectly shaped red orb. When I zoomed it further on my computer at home I could see stars beyond the object and it was slightly wavy looking on its outside edge, Not unlike pictures of solar flares on the Sun, but not nearly as a! ctive. Many people at the concert came up to me, seeing me taking pictures and asked me what it was. Some rather concerned. Later in the night, I was going to my motel in Perham, Minnesota 10 miles north of Ottertail, (About an hour after this event) and in the middle of nowhere, I spotted and extremely bright white light on an intersecting road to the right. I would guess it was about a quarter mile away. It was roughly egg shaped and was a bright white light, that eliminated the area, trees, phone poles and the ground very similar to a 600 lumen flashlight. It was so bright white it had sort of a bluish look to it. I went by the road and elected to keep on going to my motel room. I wasn't sure what I was dealing with. Now I sort if wish I went for a closer look. in giving it additional thought, and by my best estimate of direction and typography. I believe the white light would have been in line with the direction the orbs were heading. I have about a dozen photos of the! red orbs.

Looked up at night sky and noticed a glowing orange/red spherical object maybe 50 feet above me. It was moving east and then took a turn north towards the water. I was outside of the shaftsburry inn. Pretty creepy thing to spot so close just above you. My heart rate climbed quite a bit.

I was standing on the northwest corner of west 4th street and ave of the americas in nyc talking to a neighbor on the corner. I was looking south when I saw 2 objects in the sky that caught my eye. One of the objects was far away and then came down and got big and round and was orange reddish. I fumbled with my camera trying to record what I saw. By the time I got the record on I only could catch a little of what I saw. I am emailing video separately. The first 13 seconds shows one of what I saw although if you listen to the whole recording, someone walking by us must have saw something too, by his expression. If you stop & go very fast on the video you can catch some of the round object. I would ignore anything you see next to the streetlights or buildings as it could be a reflection of anything. Look at the video and be the judge.

Novi, MI
July 4, 2015. My wife and I viewed groups of unusual red lights moving across the night sky over Novi, MI, and other areas of metro Detroit on July 4, 2015. The sky was clear and the temperature around 78 degrees with the usual stars in the sky very clear and visible. No planes overhead either. The neighbors were firing off fireworks as usual for the Fourth of July holiday. Our Aunt, who lives in Westland, about 8 miles south of us, called at 10:17 PM on July 4, 2015, saying she was seeing strange red lights in the north sky moving slowly and methodically from west to east. So we went outside and looked into the south-southwest sky and saw a strange looking red light in the form of an orb or circle moving slowly across the sky from west to the east. Then about 6 more started appearing, one at a time, in the same sky moving from west to east. They moved slowly and then eventually formed a "C" like formation, but about 3 minutes later they moved into a J like formation. After another few minutes the lights started to move towards each other and then started fading two lights into one. Each of the six lights in turn moved to the next highest in the sky and the two became one and then the next one left doing the same thing fading into the next highest red light until there was only one red light left. When there was only one red orb left it slowly faded away without any sound or exhaust. I even used binoculars but they just appeared to be a bright red light. They did not have any shape like a plane or helicopter and there was no sound coming from these red orbs. After this first group faded out or basically travelled to the east out of sight we went onto our back deck and observed more of the same in the north sky. The exact same thing happened that we observed in the front yard. One at a time, travelling from west to east they were bright red until eventually forming another C formation that eventually morphed into a J like formation in the north-northeast sky. After a couple of minutes one at a time they started flying slowly into the highest light and each in turn disappeared into it. When only the one red light was left, it slowly faded away and then nothing else was seen in the sky anywhere. After the fireworks were finished by 11 PM the red orbs had stopped showing up. It seemed like the red orbs were somehow trying to react to the fireworks going off in the sky. But the red orbs were much higher in the sky then any fireworks that were fired into the sky. The red orbs by the way they were moving must have been under so! me kind of intelligent guidance.
