Richlands, NE
I saw a white globe travel through the sky just above the tree line at a slow rate. The path was smooth and descending. As it reached the top of the tree line, it disappeared. I was in my Jeep so I did not here any sound.

Get a pair of binoculars and point them toward the sky. I am in Pueblo, Colorado, and every visible light in the sky is a spherical craft(?) Some are almost invisible. (translucent) There are spheres which are twinkling multiple colors, predominantly red. I see a low flying sphere, it sounds like an aircraft, but it has a spherical, lit appearance. Locate the Moon. The lights, in the sky (?) near the Moon are ALL spheres. That is all.

Im a truck driver and I was heading west on I-10 at about mile marker 58 when I noticed a red light/orb off into the north distance about 3 miles away from the freeway or so. I thought to myself I don't recall any light being out there against the mountain terrain. I kept driving looking over to the red light glow and then noticed a beam of light that shinned from it onto the ground like a spot light and I said it must be a helicopter. Well I continued to observe it and after about 30 seconds it turned off and I could tell it had elevated itself a bit higher from the ground as it was fairly close to the ground. It stayed there for about a minute then I noticed it started to move towards my direction at a high speed and I thought I don't think helicopters move that fast but as it got closer all I could make out was a perfect round red sphere ball, and then what really got my attention was that it was apparently following something big and I could not make it ! out that well but all I can say is that is was big and black and as it crossed the freeway in front of me about maybe half a mile in front and it was flying very low, had no lights, but as it crossed the freeway the front side of it was already across freeway and the back of it was still had not crossed the freeway. It was big, looked square in the back could not make out the front as it zipped by fast and the red orb following it. It had to be at least 200 ft in width by a good 400 ft in length is my guess. Last night didn't have much moon light but as close as this thing crossed in front of me it was big and I did roll down my window to see if I could hear engine noise and I heard nothing. It flew from north to south and the big black object just blended in into the night so well that after it passed across the freeway you could make it out anymore except the red orb flying behind it. I wish I could give you better details. I am not the only one that saw it as there was ! chatter on the CB from other drivers who wondered what it was.! I just cant believe that as close as I was to it I could make out better details about it but at the same time I was driving a big semi truck. Crazy night

Ekron, KY
we were driving south on old ekron road approximately 2 miles from shumate road intersection. the back passenger rear of my ranger lit up bright orange we looked to see and there was a very bright round object in a descending path, approximatelu=y 300 feet in air, hard to tell how far away it was because it was so bright, i actually looked away and had night blindness, it was descending about 20 degrees below horizon until it went out of sight, it could have been over the ohio river, i am an engineer and i estimate it was traveling at least 2 times the speed of sound, however no sonic boom and it apparently did not hit the ground . we did not see any flames or hear an impact. i have never seen a ufo or reported one before however i have seen shooting stars and meteors and comets, this was nothing like that.

One low orbit orb was viewed in western sky. When first viewed it was following a normal trajectory then abruptly vanished. The orb was light blue and bright. The light was viewed for 1 minute before disappearing.

Manchester, NH
On 3/27/2015, I was outside with my dogs and looked up in the sky and saw 5-6 orb lights white in color in a cloud that were going around in a circle fast then slow and then suddenly disappeared. Then would reappear within few minutes and would again go around in a circle but different direction and disappear. Then would reappear in a straight line at times and would travel back and forth sometimes fast and then would slow down. At times one would hover to the right and another one merging together and then all would disappear. This occurred about 2 ½ hours on/off and the orb lights only remained in the clouds. Sometimes they were greenish colored and they were all round in shape. I had 2 family members that also witnessed them. Friends say might have been from a strobe light but there was no beam of light and would have saw the light in the clear part of sky but the orb light never left the clouds. We suspect that the lights may have been part of an advertising display, but cannot be certain. PD

Hedgesville, WV
First seen while on Rt 9, driving in direction of Berkeley Springs. First observed large white sphere as I passed Tomahawk Rd. Turned onto Butts Mill Rd and I finally got away from the trees. I heard no sound or saw any flashing lights. I watched it move over trees, moving back and forth, up and down. When it hovered it became brighter. I immediately called my daughter to explain situation and told her to expect a text within 10 min that I was OK. I saw the object the entire way home. When I got home, which is a rural area, I watched it go down low in the distance. It became quite bright. I stood in my yard a few minutes. No noise. I watched it for maybe a minute and then it just disappeared. Some neighborhood dogs were barkinv and howling. When I went in my home my dog was shaking. She has large ears. Perhaps she heard something I could not. I looked for the object 30 min later. It was still gone. I have not seen it since that day.

College Station, TX
Went stargazing with a friend last night (3/25/15) at Lake Bryan outside of College Station. While using my Celestron Astromaster 114 with 32mm fully coated eyepiece, I was focused in on Jupiter for a minute or so, when a red/green alternating orb flew across my field of view. I then followed this object, which moved at incredible speed, west (Jupiter was in south sky) until cloud cover prohibited seeing object. What drew my attention was its curving motion and abrupt changes in speed, from close to a dead stop to full speed almost instantaneously. The speed of this object was far greater than any aircraft/satellite and could not be seen by naked eye, only through telescope.

Villas, NJ
This night I observed a helicopter I'd say 5 or 6 miles away headed away from the airport with an orb type object in front of it keeping pace. I thought it might be a reflection in the window or maybe a spot light on the chopper itself, but then said object went straight up into the sky.

There were two round lights, one green, one red. Then both lights became green, 5 seconds later they both became red. The lights were below the cloud cover at approximately 1000 ft. The lights were stationary in the night sky. As my traveling companion pulled the vehicle of the road to observe, the lights streaked north at an incredible rate of speed, dove 90 degrees and streaked north again out of sight.

Staten Island, NY
I was sitting in my home office and my desk is right in front of my window. Something caught my attention so I looked up. There's an airport nearby, so I'm constantly seeing planes, but this was unlike anything I've seen before. Two spherical objects in the distance, probably silver in color (could not tell if it was the light reflecting off of it or if IT was shining light) where flying very strange patterns. There is no commercial flying object that can fly these sort of patterns, of this I am certain. The flying patterns were not even describable. They were almost zig-zaggy in nature, with weird circling patterns. This all lasted about 5-10 seconds and they suddenly just disappeared from the sky! I don't think it was birds because these objects looked like they were much, much higher than commercial airlines fly, and plus, they just didn't look like any bird I know. Maybe it was some kind of space event (meteors, shooting stars, etc)? I don't know. It was definitely something weird. Here's the thing though... about 10 years earlier, I saw something similar with my family while sitting in my backyard. Except at that time there were far more than 2 of them, and the event lasted a little longer than 5-10 seconds. Probably a couple of minutes, and then was followed by sighting of several military aircraft (jets) in the area. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Darby, MT
As we were driving from Hamilton to Darby, we were about 7 miles away from Darby, and to the East, over the Sapphire Mountains, I saw three orange/pink orbs that formed a triangle and seemed to be hovering, not moving. At first I thought maybe they were part of some electrical towers until I saw a bluish white orb-like light that looked like it was rising into the bottom sphere (then I couldn't see that bluish light anymore), and then the bottom sphere rose up and disappeared until only two orbs of the triangle were visible. My mother-in-law looked over as the first disappeared and saw the two remaining orbs. Then one of those two orbs disappeared, and the last orb finally flew away north.

Peoria, AZ
About 8:30 PM, on the 21 of March 2015, my son was leaving to go to a friend’s house, and came back in the house and stated that there were weird lights in the sky. My friends, the wife, and I went outside to see what he was looking at. In the sky there were 5 orange orbs in line traveling to the east just over my house. They would fade away and more would come up over the horizon in the western night sky. These didn't look like flares (no smoke, no streaking tail and they were traveling slowly). As many as 20 came over the house in 30 minutes before fading out.

i am a amateur astronomer. On the 21st of March, 2015, I was in my backyard with my telescope trained on Venus, Comet Lovejoy in Cassiopie, etc., in the western/northern sky. I use a Telrad reflex sight makes it easy for me to quickly find and train my 8" Dobsonian on any object in the sky, including aircrafts, ISS, Iridium satellites etc. I saw this low flying red light moving towards my observing position from the West. I trained my Telrad at this object, quickly moved to the erect image finder scope with a 8x magnification-widefield. To my surprise, no blinking lights (no sound) and the object looked lower than a traditional sattelite in the twilight sky. Went back to the Telrad realigned it in the bulls eye and looked at it thru the main telescope this time. I was awestruck by what I saw. This object was spherical almost looked like a circular disk with a bright glint on the edge of this disk (observing time 1 to 2 seconds thru main telescope) moved qui! ckly thru my field of view. I tried to locate it again but it was gone. Never seen anything like this in the last 20 odd years i have been observing. Has anybody else seen it?

Long Beach, CA
My wife and I had a spectacular UFO sighting tonight. We were all settled in for an episode of Vice (HBO), when I heard a loud whoosh, but I thought it was part of the soundtrack of Vice. My wife exclaimed, "What the hell was that?" So she's looking out the window behind the couch explaining to me that the sound was coming from outside. I followed her as she dashed out the front door. I could still hear the trademark military jet-type whooshing sound in the distance. It's sort of an irregular pulsating whoosh that starts suddenly and ends as suddenly as it started, and then repeats that maybe five or six times afterwards, the sound fading off. So we're standing out front looking at the cloudless sky, and I'm telling her "You know, sometimes when military jets are sent low over areas they don't usually don't fly over, it means there was a UFO spotted in the area." And not 30 seconds later, out of my left eye I see a light-orange-yellow spherical-shaped light moving NNE to SSW high in the SSW sky moving SSW through the constellation Orion. About a second later, as I'm alerting my wife to what I'm seeing, a second light that looked just like the first light appeared about 3" at arm's length to the west, moving exactly parallel with the first light. A second later, the second light faded out, and the first light continued on with its SSW trajectory a couple more seconds and quickly faded out. I've seen probably 100 meteors, including 2 fireballs, 6 or so comets, satellites. And I've seen some unidentified stuff, too. But this was by far my most spectacular and unusual sighting. I'm 58. They moved slower than a meteor but much faster than any jet I've seen at that apparent distance. We both got the sense that the lights were at least 10,000 feet up. They certainly weren't real close. I got a real good look at the lights. They weren't steady, like light bulbs. Nor did they strobe. They were distinctly round, but diffuse, and they gave the appearance that they were moving behind a sheet of water, or slightly translucent film with an irregular surface. At the point of fade they were maybe 40% of the diameter of a full Moon. Some years ago when I spent a lot of time during the day at home, quite a few times I'd hear the same identical sound of a military jet overhead or nearby. They're tremendously loud. Only once did I catch a glimpse of it. It was flying north to south towards or maybe past downtown Long Beach, which is due west. I didn't know about the UFO connection back then. I wonder if some (all?) of those incidents were UFO related. By far the most unusual "object" I've ever seen in the sky. And I kinda-sorta predicted it. ;) ((ADDENUM FROM WITNESS)) This is a better and more detailed synopsis than the one I submitted to NUFORC a little while ago. *** On the evening of March 20th, my wife and I had an incredible UFO sighting that I posted about here. Last night we had another UFO sighting. Same part of the sky - south of Long Beach, CA over the Pacific. At about 10:05 PM, I went outside to sky-gaze as I often do. It was fairly overcast. The Moon, which sat high in the WSW sky, was shrouded by the low clouds and cast a diffuse glow. A couple of minutes later, due south and about 30 degrees above the horizon, another diffuse light appeared behind the clouds. It was white and looked similar to how the Moon looked, but not as diffuse. It gradually grew brighter, and as it did, two other similar looking diffuse white circles of light appeared, forming an equilateral triangle. They were all about a third to half the diameter of a full Moon and two to three finger widths apart at arm's length. At this point I yelled for my wife, called her on my cell, and knocked on the pane glass living room window to get her attention. She came running out with her i-phone and saw the triangular formation just before it faded out. As those three lights faded out, a brighter light appeared in between where the other three lights were, and grew brighter, casting a bright glow against the surrounding clouds. We could make out a fairly well-defined bright star-like light at the center and the surrounding glow it cast was about three-quarters the diameter of a full Moon. She managed to catch that final light on video before it faded about 30 seconds later. All of these lights were perfectly stationary. I stayed out for another hour, but I didn't see any more.

Van Nuys, CA
While driving home noticed a VERY bright red light in sky towards Van Nuys or Burbank. Kept an eye on it while I pulled onto my street. It appeared to be moving and getting closer. Got home and it was still there. Got out of car and continued to watch. Bright Red Light was now hovering in place. It appeared to be at low altitude, like one would see the LAPD helicopter. But this had No noise nor did it have any of the other obvious helicopter indicators. Then the light got small while it was hovering. A moment later it was as if someone turned off the light. Gone!

Rush City, MN
Driving down county road 7, I saw a strange red light that looked like a cellphone tower but it was in a spot where there wasn't any. I pulled to the side of the road and it went from where I saw it to a few miles in the matter of a second. It then started doing circles around 20 times then stopped. It then zigzaged from rush point store to Cambridge within 5 seconds.

Redwood City, CA
I arrived home late from dinner Wednesday night at 11:30pm. As I took the garbage cans outside, I just happened to look up at the clear sky. To the northwest, close to above the 280 freeway, I saw a blue bright orb. As I saw it, it steadily moved in the opposite flow of airplanes circling around to land at SFO. It then appeared to move vertically down, hover, then vertically back up. The blue light then turned bright red. It was bright enough to create a halo or orb around the object. The now red light ascended and moved horizontally across the sky. Definitely not an airplane or heli. I also thought drone, but way to big and fast unless it was a huge commercial drone. Drones don't also make them self visible as bright blue/red lights. The red light moved all directions in the sky very rapidly. After about 5 minutes of tracking it across the sky. It seemed to go straight down again and eventually went behind the Canada College parking lot bright lights we can see from our place. I'm excited in what I saw and took some video. Never seen anything like this before. I always look up at night and finally caught something I couldn't identity. I only hope others saw it as well.

While in our backyard we saw an orange shere that seemed to have a faint whitish "aura." It came from the west heading east, slowly with no sound at all. After we retracked from behind a tree less than 10 seconds later it was many miles further away than any aircraft we've seen travel. It was heading in the direction of Beale Air Force base.

I was outside listening to music and I look up to look at the stars and I see this huge orb of light that changes from blue to purple to red and it shoots diagonal ways from the sky like it was crashing. We have corrected the time above to reflect a nighttime sighting. PD
