Orange, CA
I noticed the first fireball while driving east on Chapman ave in the city of Orange at around 06:15. I watched it come in and out of sight for over thirty minutes as I rode to work with my friend in her car all the way to Santa Margerita. The fireball was heading north/northeast and had a long tail of fire. It was about 30 degrees high at first and gradually worked its way down to about 15 degrees high after about 35 to 40 minutes when it suddenly burned out fell straight towards the ground. The fireball turned into a large ball of smoke before it fell, and the straight tail of fire was replaced by a serpentine smoke trail. We picked up another worker in Santa Margerita and headed towards El Toro shortly after 07:00. I saw another fireball identical to the first and at about the same trajectory that I had last seen the first one disappear. I thought it was the same fireball initially, and I puzzled over how it could burn out, turn to smoke, and fall from the sky only to reappear ten minutes later. I watched this second fireball flying in the sky for about five minutes before I lost sight of it behind the hills. I sighted Two more fireballs within a minute of losing sight of the second. Judging by the size of the fireballs and the length of the tails, these last two fireballs were much further away than the first two and lower in the sky, but they were all heading in the same direction. I could see what looked like a bright white light with a concave shape in front of and separate from the fire tail following directly behind it a few times and only when it appeared to be heading towards me. It looked like a shield or something that was suspended directly in front of and well forward of a craft to protect it from burning up as it entered the atmosphere from outer space. It was most often heading away from me, though, and it looked like a ball of fire with a burning tail. I thought they were meteors at first, but I found out that meteors are hard to see in the daylight and usually burn out within 30 seconds when I looked to see if any one reported seeing any meteors at that time. I don't know what I saw, so I guess they are UFOs.

Winchester, KY
Around 1:30 am on November 23 2015 I & my father observed 2 multi-colored objects "possibly round not sure of the shape"in the night sky located south/southeast of Winchester, KY. These objects were identical approximately 50 miles a part. The objects had a red,green bluefish tint that changed colors. My father was in the military and I myself was in the civil air patrol and know what conventional and or military aircraft look and act like in the sky and these objects were unlike any aircraft I have ever seen.

It was a a white blinking light with red, blue, and green lights. It was moving from left to right in a slow moving motion. Then I decided to pull my scope out, and it was moving fast from left to right in my scope vision. My kids and I took plenty of pictures and videos of it.

We were driving down the road and saw a bright white circle in the sky head straight down. It was whitish green as it fell straight from the sky.

November 22, 2015, I was once again driving south on I-79, this time just south of the Bridgeville exit, when I saw a blue-green ball in the sky. It was the same size as the blue one that I saw two weeks ago. This one once again fell from the sky really fast once, I focused on it. Once again it disappeared mid-fall.

Strange revolving 3 lighted - red blue green (blinking) object flying from south to north. Thought it was a plane at first with a weird shape. Moved toward us at the rate of a plane in flight but it was spinning which made me think it was a drone. It then shot down like it was on a string but quickly darted up like a v pattern and then up again at a controlled speed and then shot off to the east. I've never ever seen anything like it. Could not have been any drone or plane. Movements were too quick.

I was in the Troy, Ohio, area (mile marker 78) when I observed a greenish blue light crossing the sky from the north west falling downwards towards the south east horizon. From first sight until it disappeared was approximately 5-6 seconds. I have seen numerous shooting stars (enjoy watching meteor showers). Those I have seen are visible for maybe a second, many with a tail behind them. Although the light made a rapid descent into the horizon, it was not at a split second speed common to seeing a “shooting star” and its bright solid blue green, almost neon color was also not typical. I am not sure what this was but it was too slow for a meteor (at least I think so) but far too fast for conventional aircraft. This is the second time in my 60 years of life I have felt the need to report anything in the sky. The last time was in the 80s when I, along with dozens of other individuals saw a ball of fire streak across the sky in Virginia. Originally I thought it was a plane crashing on fire but it ended up being a meteor.

I was laying in bed and out my window a green circular light started shooting down, it lasted about 2 seconds and it was fast. I thought it crashed so we went searching and found nothing.

My daughter and I were driving home from Fall River on RT. 24 when we saw a round shaped craft of some sort in the sky. The lights were very bright, flashing blue, green, red and white. It hovered for a few seconds and started to slowly move behind some trees. We arrived home and we could still vaguely see it. There was no sound. We watched as we vacated our vehicle. The lights became dim and it then disappeared.

Seen (3) nights so far; 11/21,22,23/2015. Starting around 1:00 am each date. They are circular in shape and "big" with lights all the way around flashing and blinking red, green and white. These things hover for 15 to 30 min's then take off. I saw it first and couldn't believe what I was seeing. My husband is a skeptic, so I woke him up to see it!! It isn't an "Airplane" he said, as Airplanes could not hover for that long! Too big to be a helicopter. I tried to get pictures with (3) different cameras, but they wouldn't capture it. Also tried my movie camera, but NOTHING!! Last night, the 23rd there were (2) side by side of the same size..."BIG"! If they were regular aircraft, they would have crashed. I live in a community of 71 houses, haven't had the nerve to ask if anyone else might have seen anything!

My husband and friend where walking our dog, when they saw a large orange reddish circle or ball in the western night sky. It was not a plane or an helicopter because there were no flashing lights and the way it moved. It moved side way with a quick burst of speed then it would stop and hover for seconds then move side way back the way it came from. There also was no sound. My husband also called me outside which I did to see the ball as well. We saw the ball repeat moving side to side and stop and hover for a bit then it flickered and disappeared. It was very high in the night sky and for being so high it was quite large. Never saw anything like it before.

I stopped what I was doing and went outside where another employee was already out there and watching a reddish/orange what I thought was a star, possibly Venus. He informed me that there had been 2 of these objects but the other one had disappeared from view. He also told me that they had been closer and larger in size and so were moving away. I continued watching and realized it couldn't be Venus as it appeared to be moving slowly and changing in brightness, from a dull orange to a brighter orange and then back to dull again. There were some clouds in the sky and it was getting dark but I noticed the clouds seemed to be very high in the sky and after about 5 minutes the orange object started to noticeably pick up speed and disappeared behind the clouds. We watched for a few more minutes but the object didn't return. I went outside a few more times that evening but never saw the object again.

At the time the photo was taken, I did not see the UFO. I took the picture because the sky looked so ominous and strange that day. But, upon later reflection of the photo I took that day, I noticed a small collection of lights in the background in the sky with a green tint. Naturally, I zoomed in to get a better look only to find a classic "UFO" shape -- a circle formation made out of lights. Strangely, I was carpooling with a friend that day and she also took a picture of the dark-clouded sky. We took pictures at the exact same time as marked by the date and time on our phones, but her photo does not capture the UFO. I actually have two pictures taken at the same hour:minute. One is a little more blurry because a car was driving in the distance, but, both of my photo's capture the unidentified object pretty clearly. Personally, I've never been one to believe in UFO's, though, I believe there is most definitely "life" outside of Earth. For all I know, UFO's could be the government screwing with us. I don't really know. What I am certain of is that I didn't notice the object at the time the picture was taken -- I was too distracted by the sky. Additionally, I didn't go back and look at the pictures I took until a month later when I noticed something tiny in the background. To clear any misconceptions - I don't own photoshop or know how to use photoshop. I'm sure there is enough technology out there to check and see if anything was added to a photo. If such technology were to be used on my two photos of the object, it would appear they have not been tampered with in any way. Hope this report helps some UFO tracker out there!

I was walking to my car after work when really dark clouds rolled over the sky - none that I had ever seen before. The clouds were black and took up a majority of the sky, but not all of it. For this reason I took a picture because I thought the city skyline looked cool against the dark clouds vs. regular sky in the background . It wasn’t until I got home that I noticed the spherical shaped object that was glowing in the sky. I’ve lived in the area for almost 10 years and haven’t witnessed cloud like this before or since this incident. I remember this discovery vividly.

Noticed what looked like a meteorite in the North end of the sky at night. Was just a light blue illuminated dot. Took 3-4 seconds to fly all the way across the sky. Appeared to be really high up, and travelling incredibly fast, and moved at an arch (not a straight line). At second thought, it looked like a crashing plane. Once it got to the South sky, it came to an immediate stop. At that point, it looked like one of the many stars visible in the sky. Kept watching it for another minute or so, and it did nothing - just looked like any other star. Tried to keep an eye on it as I walked home (I was out walking my dog). Once it became obscured by a tree, I couldn't recall which one it was when I tried to find it again. In the 3-4 seconds that it was flying across the sky, my thoughts were "Oh cool, a meteorite... No, that is a really low flying plane... No, it is really high... Wait, is it crashing? Wow, that is really moving... IT STOPPED!!!!"

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/01/26/orange-yellow-ufos-over-florida_n_6544420.html but far southwest sky from Miami Gardens on late night of November 17th (think was correct date), definitely just within past week. I also had witnesses that saw same thing, but we saw 4 in almost a square design and a 5th appeared but soon went low below tree lines. Al seem to disappear but unk where. They appeared round , red, in sync.

There were several circular, blinking lights in the sky. Some were reddish in hue that blinked and pulsed white and very, very quickly--a greenish light. There was a bright gold star-like light that moved then was hovering over the area. There were three to four white, blinking lights that seemed to be aware that I was watching them. When I waved at them, hoping they would be able to see me, their movements became more rapid and longer in distance. During the three hours I was walking around in and out of the Hangman Hills neighborhood, I saw five to six "shooting stars". However, I realized after the third one that they were moving a bit slowly to be shooting starts, and I believe that they were craft, dipping in and out of perhaps our dimension, or perhaps my disbelief and excitement prohibited me from being able to perceive them for a prolonged amount of time. As I continued watching, different craft would become "seen" by me that were closer and closer to me. I truly believe that they wanted to be seen and the whole experience was very peaceful, calm and loving.

Walking outside, saw a bright green circle appear in the sky and shoot off to the north, leaving the visible area within 1-2 seconds. This is a circle, not like a ball. The outline of the circle was green and was roughly the same size in the sky as the moon would be.

We have seen this object most every night for several months. Possible sighting of the star, "Sirius," we suspect, but without more information from the witness, we cannot be certain. PD
