The craft was circle in shape and bright red glowing ball when it was flying around for the first ten min it was red with a touch of neon green at the tip it was a perfect circle no beacon lights and no noise or sound what so ever at first I thought was helicopter because it was sitting still in the sky for sec to minutes before flying off in all directions it flew across the sky in seconds for the miles it flew but always retuned to were it started then when hovering straight back down it changed size to smaller and sold green the red color went away it also flew half way to our direction before zipping back to its original starting point after the 15 min it hid itself behind a 180 ft tree top and by then we were tired of waiting for it to fly off once again the craziest thing that this Ufo done was its turns it was flying so fast stopping at a dead hault then change its position and pattern erratically I was in the military and was in an airborne chopper unit in the 101st airborne and no man made aircraft can maneuver the way this ball of light did.

Sturgeon Bay, WI
Saturday, August 15, 2015 - Approximately 09:44PM. While over at a neighbor's party, myself, my neighbor, and at least one of his guests observed a commercial aircraft flying from west-northwest to east-southeast. As we watched, a solid white light (which we at first assumed to be a satellite) lit up, moving in the exact same direction as and roughly 1-2 miles directly behind the commercial aircraft. Both aircraft and light were slightly to the south of us, traveling from about west northwest to east southeast. As one of the guests attempted to record it, the light began to dim - yet several seconds before disappearing completely, I witnessed it come to a complete stop! Unknown if guest managed to succeed in recording object. And NO - I had NOT been drinking.

My wife and I were walking our dog at dusk when I noticed what I thought at first was a plane. We live in a plane throughway so we are use to seeing planes go overhead. I have lived in this area for 40+ years, what caught my attention was that there were no flashing lights just a ball of red. And there was no sound at all. When it flew past us we joked about the what we may be seeing, as it very slowly flew east toward New Jersey. When from the same direction as the first one (west) three more red ball crafts flying in perfect vertical order slowly, quietly, flew in the same direction! Then they seem to stop going west, and started to accent straight up until they were no longer visible. We looked at each other and ask ourselves what the heck did we just witness? Unless we have some super quiet, super slow, new aircraft I don't know.. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Gulf of Mexico, FL
I have to tell you about something very strange that I saw TWICE on my Carnival Cruise. It happend half way going from Cozumel (Mexico) back to Tampa (Florida) right on the Gulf of Mexico. From my window on the boat Saturday night (August 15th around 11.30-12.30 pm and again the next night) I saw a strange moving star that seemed to move in a weird pattern- actually more: no pattern at all: up, down, right, up, left, up...- it was so weird- I thought I am getting crazy. I watched this for about one hour until I was too tired. I tried to film it but it was simply too far away to catch. The only explanation I had was: it must have been a broken satellite. I did not want to wake my husband up to show this to him but when I told him the next morning, he told me to wake him up when I see this again happening. Guess what: next night I saw it again!!! I woke my husband up and showed it to him. I asked him: do you see it? He said yes. He could not find an explanation for it and does not seem to want to talk to me about it. I think he is afraid- lol. Since yesterday, I am trying to find out (google) what that was but I am unable to find anything. Please: if you know what that was, tell me! ;-) We suspect that a star in the night sky would be the first possibility that would have to be ruled out. PD

Lemoyne, NE
My brother and I were watching the skies for shooting stars as we normally do when we camp out on the beach at Lake Mcconaughy. We were talking when he caught something strange out of the corner of his eye. He said to me "hey check that out". I looked in the direction he was looking and I saw it. A round illuminated object. My brother said he saw another one trailing right behind it that was not as bright, but I did not see the second one, likely because I was not looking for it and I was extremely focused on the first brighter object the whole time. There was a smooth/soft white light coming from the object. There was some shaded areas equally spaced on the inner section of the objects underside that formed a ring. The object made no noise. The object moved quite fast from the North heading South. The object appeared to move in a perfectly straight line during the entire viewing. The object looked like it went straight into space as it got smaller in the distance. I could not tell how high the object really was, it was to deceptive for me to even guess. I could not make out any definitive lines on the object, the light from the object skewed the clarity of my view. My brother thought the object was close, less then 5000 feet. He described the object as being balloon shaped. He saw the object before I saw it and from a different angle initially. By the time I saw the object it was directly over my viewing area. It was a fascinating experience that I will not forget.

These are advertising lights for a casino called Mystic Lake in Shakopee, MN. We agree. The lights probably were from the casino. PD

Very dark orange almost red ball hovered slowly in the west sky while we sat by the fire. We were looking west all evening, and then out of nowhere a orange glow appeared. My exact words were "I hope a plane didn't just catch on fire in the air" The "thing" slowly settled over the tree line. No clue what it was but it was NOT normal.

My brother and I were walking along the boardwalk and noticed a small orange light above us. We first thought it was a plane but planes didn't give off such a bright orange shade. It started off coming towards us and ascending. Then as it seemed as if it was about to come above us it stopped, and ascended until it faded out of sight. Many people ignored it thinking it was some event. We watched it the whole way and saw it go straight up into the sky until disappearing into space. Witness provides no contact information. PD

Pale circular yellow light passed overhead travelling West to East. I observed no red or green flashing lights on it. I heard no sound. I was outside to watch the meteor shower when I saw it. Sky was clear and I also saw several meteor flashes.

It was a circle, bright white light with one small red light. No noise, and it zig zagged sharply towards the right. I watched it until out of view. I am a sky watcher and have never seen anything like this. The entire thing was flashing except for the tiny red light. I am hoping someone else seen it also!

Rigby, ID
On August 12th, 2015, my wife, her cousin, and I were outside observing the Perseid meteor shower. When my wife noticed a bright yellow light moving towards our general location. The light seemed to stop and then went straight up until we lost sight of it. We had clear skies so it didn't disappear behind clouds. It seemed like it was exiting our atmosphere and it was strange because it made a 90 degree angle. There were no blinking lights to identify it as a satellite or plane. We only seen it for about 30 seconds or so. The size of the light would be like looking at a quarter from 10 feet away.

But then as it got closer, it moved away from the coast towards the water and slowly disappeared. As this happened, we saw a bright flash over the ocean like a shooting star but more hazy and quick,a second later the light was gone. We watched over the water for about 10 min and saw a sudden bright reddish light appear. It was gone within 15 seconds. Military? Drone? Or ufo?

I was looking at the sky to the east over the Rocky Mountains here in Ogden, when I noticed a circle appear and move very quickly in an arched movement until out of sight. It was a very bright and intense Teal color against the black night sky. It was a larger circle surrounded by 5 or 6 smaller circles that made the stars look like small pin points in the sky. It lasted only 3 or 4 seconds. Possibly a meteor?? PD

My girlfriend and I came outside at roughly 9:30 to smoke a cigarette. After a few minutes we saw what looked like a circle of red-orange fire move across the sky. It appeared to move slightly faster than the life-flight helicopters that we see occasionally see as we live near the local hospital. As we watched it, the object began moving erratically and suddenly became dark but still visible against the clouds. Shortly thereafter, another fast-moving ball with the same coloration appeared and followed roughly the same path before vanishing. We decided to wait and see if any more objects flew by. Sure enough another two balls of red-orange appeared behind the tree line, moving slightly slower than the first, before turning at almost a 90° angle and vanishing. Our neighbor from across the street was out walking his dogs at the time and had stopped at the corner of our road, having seen the second set of lights. His dogs barked as the lights before they faded from view. Before continuing over to say his hellos a final ball appeared, rising significantly higher than the previous lights, turning slightly and then vanishing.

Around Mid-August, I took the dog out between 7p-8p. When we got outside I just happen to look up and noticed these white square shaped lights that formed this perfectly circular shape. I stood there dumbfounded at this and started looking for search lights to possibly explain this but search lights would be round and moving searching the sky, not these perfect square shapes forming this perfect circle, it just sat there. I had a hard time wrapping my head around this but finally ran back in to get my son, so he saw this as well. I was unable to see anything but these perfect set of lights in this perfect circle, it was too dark. There may have been a haze or aura in the clouds, it was cloudy and dark. This “object” did not do anything just hovered in this one spot. I only saw one. A description of my background? I am just an average person, living an average life. I work 8:15-5p every day at a law firm. I am not one that has anything to do with UFO’s, its creepy so I just don’t even dabble with it. BUT after this, I am totally intrigued, a little creeped out and extremely curious….to an extent. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Savage, MN
There was a circle of 13 individual lights, stationary. In watching them, the upper left quadrant faded, then eventually came back. During that time the right lower quadrant faded, then the lower half faded. All lights then came back and slower start to fade individually. After 20 min, all but 3 lights on the left side remained, then a group of three in a different formation came back. It looks like it reformed but my view is blocked by large trees. As it is humid and cloud covered tonight, it was easy to see the lights weren't coming from the ground, pointing upward. There was no light trail and we live in an area that doesn't have dealership lights, sales lights, etc. during this time, both pets were feverishly running to the windows and l Starring at the lights. After that last group faded, they finally laid back down. all pictures I took ended up completely white. All video was black. Suspected advertising lights at a local casino. PD

I was driving north on I-35. I was in Lakeville, Minnesota, on exit 81 saw lights in the sky. The lights formed a big circle. The lights were single lights. It was hovering over the clouds. We suspect that the lights were part of an advertising lights, projected into the cloudy sky by a local casino. However, we are not certain. PD

This was a very large circle of lights, all white and in equal size. There were approximately 8-10 lights, spaced very evenly apart. The circle appeared to be over interstate 35. This was in the western sky. I t wasn't that high in the sky, the lights were not bright, but soft as I believe there was a slight cloud cover.the circle was not moving. I took a picture but it does not show on the image. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
