Coeur D'Alene, ID
My older son and I were driving home after a late dinner in Hayden. Hovering over Canfield Mtn, was a fairly large orange orb. We saw a second large orange orb about halfway up Canfield Mtn on the western side facing Dalton Gardens/Canfield Middle School. In the neighborhood just south of Canfield Middle school, there was a group of boys in their driveway watching it too. The orange orb on the mountain began to rise, I could then see multicolored lights on both Objects as they rose and disppeared. They were vey close, especially the one on the mountain, 500-800 ft away, maybe closer.

Facing north, seven red lights from the north heading south toward us, loosely in formation, five cut sharply right, heading east & vanished as we grabbed a camera, while two remained continuing south, toward us then those two disappeared. These were not in any commercial flight path, seemed sizable for their distance, larger than aircraft position lights, or drones, did not fly in military formation & emitted no detectable sound upon approach, did not fade away just vanished. The sky was clear with good visibility (no cloud cover, etc.).

I was outside my residence and started to fly my new phantom 3 I just got in the mail the day prior. I lifted the drone about 20 feet in the air to feel how it maneuvers. As I looked up in i saw an orb (white and cloudy almost fuzzy) move across the sky pretty quickly. Very high up, I would guess over 1000 feet. To my surprise, the orb stopped instantly and another two came near it. It was not a plane as it defied physics as it moved around (Sharp turns and extreme acceleration) I quickly put my remote down and let the drone hover while I ran inside to get my phone to snap a picture. Spheres were gone when I returned. I was wearing polarized sunglasses which might have aided detection against the cloudless bright sunny sky. I shall look up more now since it seems to me ufo's are out during the day as well.

I saw a small golden/orange orb when I was on a walk. It was behaving unlike any normal aircraft. The way it arced through the sky and faded in and out of sight I knew exactly what I was seeing. I have actually reported Ufos on this site the last two years matching this exact description. I noticed a couple post within the last couple weeks matching this description in my general area. After I quickly realized what I was seeing I said to myself here comes the jets, and sure enough within a couple seconds I heard a jet going in the direction it disappeared to.

Zion National Park, UT
After traveling from Bryce Canyon to Zion National Park, we stopped by the side of the road. I stepped out of the car and began taking my pictures of the scenery. While not observing anything out the ordinary during the picture taking, it was after resuming our drive through the park I took some time to examine the recently taken pictures that I noticed the extremely bright orbs in two of the pictures I had just taken. Source of report indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD

Lynden, WA
My wife and I noticed large flashing of lightning in the foothills behind our backyard. It was difficult to see exactly where it was because it was inconsistent when we tried to look directly at it. The lightning had no sounds of thunder afterwards as there weren't any clouds in the sky either. My daughter woke up shortly after we saw the first flashes from a bad dream and noticed there was a blue flashing orb in the sky. I gave her binoculars and had her point it out to us. My wife and I saw a sky full of stars but no blue up where she was pointing. I then got out our digital SLR camera and took a few shots where she was pointing and saw exactly what she was describing. My wife and I were unable to see it but my daughter and the camera picked it up. My daughter also noticed about 8 red/blue lights coming from the vicinity of the blue one heading towards to lighting near the foothills. I took photos of the sky where she said they were but still my naked eye couldn't see what she saw however the camera did. This went on for over an hour or two. She also saw the stars squeeze and pull tight in a spot in the sky similar to what a black hole or worm hole is described.

Melville, NY
looked like small globes of very bright white and golden colored light that seem to encircle each other. Very large, easily seen --there were 3 of them but 1 disappeared straight up into the night sky disappearing. The other two conglomerates were about a mile apart one higher in the skuy than the other. I could still see them while I was driving the 15 miles to my home from work. The other two people were as amazed as I was. I tried calling the local paper but only got an answering machine. I left a message. They probably think I am a crackpot. I have never seen anything like this before.

Fort Collins, CO
I saw a small, black, well-defined, circular object move extremely fast in front of a white cloud to the west of Fort Collins, observed facing north from Harmony library. About 10 seconds later, a jet appeared going into the same direction as the black object. In comparison, the black object may have been around half the size of the jet. The speed of the black object was about 4 times faster than jets in the sky that day. I have never seen an object move so fast. I observed the sky off and on for about two hours and did not see a similar sized object moving at that speed although I saw several insects, birds, and planes fly that morning. This morning there had been many jets/airplanes flying with vapor trails that appeared to be intersecting at 90 degrees. I took images of the vapor trails earlier that morning. Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD

One of several similar reports and photos from the same source, between April 13, 2015, and May 27, 2015. We strongly suspect that the objects photographed are not UFOs, but we cannot be certain. PD

Cincinnati, OH
Walking home from work, I looked up to see 4 blinking sphere crafts moving across the sky. They made no sound, and were in a formation somewhat similar to an 'S'. Following behind them was another blinking sphere with 2 other red blinking spheres very very close to it. Following that was a red blinking sphere. The blinking was all consistent, it didn't appear to be synchronized between them though. A plane flew nearby at first but I could hear the sound from behind the plane but definently not from the other things I saw. I'm a male I work at a Jet's Pizza and live in Cincinnati, Ohio. I have seen UFOS in Cincinnati before on multiple occasions (fireballs).

Hello. While looking up at the night sky and laying on my back, relaxing close to where I sleep outside near sky harbor airport, I noticed a flash in the sky. The flash resembled a star coming into existence suddenly, and then disappearing, just as suddenly (within a fraction of a second). This caught my attention as I have seen strange lights in the sky two years previously, when I lived in San Diego, California (USA). I then noticed two orange orbs, which I initially though were balloons, floating side by side next to each other heading in a southerly direction. No moon was out, so the orbs seemed to be self-luminous with a soft orange glow. The orbs flew directly overhead and then drifted out of sight. Regarding size, the orbs appeared to be, if looking at the back of an outstretched hand facing the sky, a quarter of the size of the pinky nail. As they moved, they seemed to have a slightly wobbly motion, as if they were balloons. A local dog began barking when the orbs flew over. Keeping my eyes trained at the sky, I then noticed stars moving. First one, then another, then a third and fourth over a period of about an hour. One of the stars seemed to strobe brightly for a time (five seconds) and then its light dimmed. It continued to fly and then seemed to vanish prematurely, before one might expect it to fade away due to distance. Two or three other stars approached my position on the ground, as I lay on my back looking at the sky, and disappeared suddenly when they were in a position directly overhead of my position. Two of the stars flew together, although not in formation, within my field of view before one vanished. Then the other.

Got a large round white object using night vision, much larger than a satellite and moving faster than a normal satellite. Satellites are usually dim and slow moving. I checked on the ISS and it was over Africa at that time this morning. What was unusual was as the object crossed the sky another object seemingly in its path but unseen suddenly lit up and moved away from other object as if avoiding it before going dark again. I thought this very strange and worthy of a UFO report. I will include screenshots of the objects. Thanks.

Cornelius, OR
UFO reporting center, Last Friday or Saturday (5-15/16-15) I think it was Saturday around 9:50pm, my wife called me outside to look at the southern sky. Hanging suspended below the clouds were 3 orange orbs, a beautiful shade of orange. These orbs hung suspended without moving and no noise. Over several minutes each of these orbs, which were formed a roughly triangle formation, faded then blinked out. As they faded they flattened out. Before the last one faded out two more appeared the western sky and slowly rose until they were in the same area as the first 3. As they arrived the last of the first 3 faded out. These two hung suspended, just as the first 3 did, with no noise until they flattened out and faded out. We live in Western Oregon. Did anyone else report these orbs? My wife called emergency dispatch and later a deputy called and talked with me about this but he wasn’t bright enough to spell ufo so I don’t think he believed me. Witness indicates that the date is approximate. PD

Observed it descend from sky. A bright orange glow. It the hovered over a certain altitude and it made zig zag movements. It sometimes disappeared but it would reappear within 1-2 seconds.

Douglasville, GA
I was outside in my backyard taking my dogs out, and I noticed in the distance a light that didn't look like a star. It was around dusk, so the first thing that came to mind was that it was Venus, or Mars. I couldn't tell how far away, or high up in the sky it was at this point, but it seemed to be pretty far up in the sky. Then, I noticed it moving towards my house. It was slow moving, and it got closer, and it was in the left corner of my backyard. It was an orb that was pulsating blue, green, and reddish-orange lights. It hovered in that location for several minutes. I kept wondering if it was a helicopter, or maybe even a drone, but the lights didn't flash or blink like any aircraft that I've seen. At this point, I'm not sure how high in the sky it was, but I want to think it was at least at the height where you can see commercial jets clearly. I lived near Hartsfield Atlanta airport, so I see jets all the time. A few minutes pass, and I notice that an airliner was traveling into the path of this orb, and I thought "oh no, they're going to crash into it". But just before the airliner came in contact, the orb moved out of the way. After the orb moved, it then started to move away (not sure of the direction) and it moved slowly until I couldn't see it anymore because of the trees.

I watch a reddish / orange sphere move across the evening ski for about 1 minute, from beginning to end, it moved in a straight line and appeared as if it was spinning or rotating very quickly. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

As light entered into brilliance of light from planet I waited to see if it would come out the other side. It did, or so I thought. It was actually the larger object of two moving. .. as the large orb passed across the smaller star... it stopped. .. then blinked out... completely vanished. Ever since then I've been getting feeling of being watched. .. do not wish to be contacted. .. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Desert Hot Springs, CA
I was visiting my parents’ house in Desert Hot Springs, CA, for a Mother’s Day dinner on Sunday, May 10, 2015. At approximately 6:40pm PST, my family I had just finished eating dinner while sitting outside on the patio. We were noticing some small birds gathering near my parents' bird feeder, when we then saw 4-5 large egrets fly over the house. This in and of itself is rather odd, as that is not a bird we typical see in our area of the Coachella valley. I turned towards where the egrets were coming from and noticed a silver sphere/orb rise above the roof line of the neighboring house. I would estimate this object to be within a mile of our location and no more than 1,000 off the ground. It appeared to be a perfect metallic sphere, with no visible wings, engine, windows, landing gear, etc. The object was also completely silent and no other visible planes were in the area at that time. My mother and I saw the object for about 10-15 seconds before it disappeared behind a small gathering of clouds. We were about 10 miles away from Palm Springs International Airport and regularly see planes flying above and near the house. I am also a member of the Palm Springs Air Museum and consider myself an amateur airplane photographer and have the ability and knowledge to identify many types of aircraft. This was nothing like I have ever seen.

Craft seen hovering over Casselberry, FL. The craft first flew into clouds, went around the clouds, then tilted left to right then as it was tilting it flew up about 20 feet then it flew down about 30 feet. Then it stood still for about a minute, then craft slowly started climbing elevation until it got to small to see.
