Scarborough, ME
I was driving North on I-95, at about 23:50. I saw a light flash in the sky out of the corner of my eye, so I turned my head slightly to the left, expecting to see a shooting star. To my surprise, it was a green ball of light, much larger than any star. I watched it move a very short distance quickly from left to right, and then it stopped. After only being stopped for one second, it seemed to pull back a little and then sped off in the same direction it was headed. It was visible for only another second or two and them it seemed to disappear into nothing. It did not have a tail and it was too far away to make out any physical features other than just that it was round. When I got home, I was a little shaken up, but I wasn’t convinced I had seen an alien spaceship. The next morning, however, (yesterday) I woke up extremely sore. Looking more into aliens and UFOs, I found that could mean possible alien contact. Also I have had this strange bump on my left ring finger that randomly appeared a few months ago. It doesn’t hurt but I constantly play with it, and my doctor said it was nothing. It doesn’t show up in X-rays. All of this could of course be random, weird coincidences, and really I still don’t know if I believe in all of it, but I figured it was worth sharing with people who have heard a lot of these stories.

Frankfort, IL
On Friday, July 31, 2015, one adult male and adult female were driving 80th avenue heading north, about a half mile from route 30. At the stop sign of 80th ave. and WN Ave. The male first saw about six lights in a jagged line seeming to be hovering in one spot. The first craft had a red light, the others were orange. The female got out of the car to video tape the event when all the crafts began to move from north west to south east in a straight line, the red one in front. As they moved passed the two adults one buy one they blinked out. The last one continues to be seen until it went behind some trees.

Bandon, OR
My daughter and I were sitting in her room and heard this super loud firecracker yet metallic metal steel drum boom kind of sound outside and so we looked out her bedroom window which is facing south eastern and we immediately saw a bright whiteish yellowish light aspirin sized flying and there was no noise to it, no blinking helicopter or airplane lights, didn't really look like a satellite because it was low down more and it kind of spooked us. I ran for the camera in the kitchen and came out onto the back porch. I managed to film it for a minute or so before the neighbor and his dog came out downstairs and I was only wearing a night shirt so I ended the video and ran inside. I peeked out the front door to see if it was still flying away and it was getting dimmer and headed NE. It was sighted around 9:35 pm. I videoed the object and the moon was coming up behind the small patch of forest next to the field, which I have under the object for size reference. ! Lots of dogs are barking in the neighborhood. Around 9:44pm we heard another noise like the one earlier, and at around ten minutes later noticed a cop car driving down the little dirt road next to the big empty field behind our apt complex. The cop had his spotlight on looking around and I'm guessing he was called to find out what that sound was. Feeling spooked and want to keep my eye out for anything else. I'm not sure what it was but I would love to see that video super close up and figure out what it was!

Woodstock, IL
I am a teacher of 14 years and my husband is a police officer of 21 years. On July 31, 2015 at approximately 9:00 p.m. (21:00), I looked out of my living room window and noticed a round orange light. It wasn’t perfectly round and had a little nub coming off the left side. The object was travelling in a straight direction heading south. I tried to get a better look, but it was difficult to see it because my backyard trees were in the way. I was sidetracked briefly by one of my children, then mentioned the object to my husband who went out on the deck to look at it. I then grabbed some binoculars to get a closer look. The object did not blink, but had a steady orange color. When I had joined my husband, the object looked smaller. A typical passenger jet airliner happened to be passing by in view at the same time so I could clearly tell the object was not an airplane. The airplane was travelling in an east, southeasterly direction. The object was farther up in the sky than the airplane. The object then passed by the moon and looked smaller. It then suddenly disappeared. I would also like to mention this was a night we had a blue moon.

It started out as two circular objects almost mirroring each other's movements. It moved very slowly at first. As it proceeded to move across my field the two objects looked as though they conjoined into one oval shaped object. Then suddenly, it took off. It looked as though it caught fire and moved very rapidly. And then just as quick as it came. It just disappeared into the sky.

Whiting, NJ
a green/yellow circle bright light fell straight out of the sky and it was lite for 7 seconds then color faded slowly and went off by 10seconds...route 539 going from Whiting my (sic. NY??) to Barnegat, NJ...it was moving fast and was a larger object not ur typical shooting star it was very weird. We suspect that the sighting occurred at night, and we have changed the time above, to reflect that fact. The source of the report elects to remain totally anonymous, so we are unable to confirm the time. PD

Seattle, WA
While eating a snack outside the Safeway store in the University District of Seattle, I saw two objects in the morning sky. They both had three white lights mounted to them at what would have been the rear of them, given the direction they were moving. They were headed from NE to SW silently. I pointed them out to someone in the parking lot and he didn't know what they were, either. It's difficult to judge the altitude of the crafts; they weren't flying particularly low but they also weren't way up in the sky either. I would guess 2,000-3,000 ft up. I watched them until one of them disappeared.

Thornton, CO
Thornton, Colorado, which is about 20 miles west of DIA. I witnessed multiple bright orange lights in the sky, headed from what seemed to be DIA, west. These orange lights were extremely bright silent, and moving very sporadic, and fast. They all disappear. After all objects are gone, every dog in my neighborhood started barking. These objects look like orange fire circles with no tails.

I was stood in my back yard at 21:50, when I noticed a light in the sky, flying left right, up and down, with ease, which made me think it's not a plane or helicopter. Another light appeared next to it, but then trailed off. I got my camera and took a few photos. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Louisa, KY
7/30/2015. 9:40pm. Approximately perfectly round light appeared, or entered my right periphery, and traveled on a south west heading Color: bright white with perfect defined circular shape. Compared to brightest star/planet in sky was 2-3 times larger. Color/intensity did not change. Travelled for approximately 1-2 seconds and from my vantage about 16-18” in a straight line, then simply disappeared. On back porch looking up.

Got smaller and smaller and disappeared. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. Time may be flawed, but we cannot confirm that fact, given that we are unable to contact the witness. We wonder whether the sighting might have occurred at 0015 hours, i.e. 15 minutes past midnight, rather than at 15 minutes past noon. PD

Whist sitting looking at the stars my parter noticed something glowing in the corner of his eye. He told me to look and as I turned around I saw a very bright white circle glowing and moving quickly across the sky. We continued to watch the object for about 5 minutes until it began to desend, and finally disappear behind a house.

My son and I were on a walk and paused on a walking overpass on Alabama Hill. While we paused to enjoy the view, a black helicopter appeared and we took photos of it. When we got home and looked at my sons photos, we noticed a bright round dot in the sky above and to the left of the helicopter. Upon closer inspection, the bright round object has five, maybe six dots on it. Maybe it’s nothing, but just in case it is an actual ufo, I wanted to submit it. Lens flare. PD

Broomfield, CO
On July 26th, 2015, at approximately 18:30, my family witnessed an object in the sky which somewhat resembled a Ferris wheel. The object was at a distance too high to see the dimensions, but the on and off brilliance was what first caught the eye of my oldest son who is 15. I told him to keep his eye on the object while I ran to get my binoculars. Upon returning the object had moved very little, but was headed in a westerly direction towards the mountains. Once I focused in on the object with my binoculars, it was a little difficult to stay steady with it because of the distance factor, however, I did have a few moments I could see the object clearly. The object appeared to be the shape of a disk and looked like a Ferris wheel because of the light pattern displayed with one bright light in the center with straight lines of light going to the perimeter of the object. At the end of the straight lines of light on the perimeter, there were other points of light. The object was in a very slow tumble which varied from moment to moment. Not like a ball rolling end-over-end, but fluidly changing its roll in different directions. The lights were fading in and out almost at a constant rate; sometimes brighter and sometimes dimmer to the point it almost disappeared from sight. I tried zeroing in on it with my cell phone camera, but the distance was too great. No sound. The object slowly moved further away in a westerly direction until it was out of sight. Total viewing time was approximately 4 minutes. The object did not make any noticeable sound. From my vantage point, I would guess the object to be moving in a westerly path down 120th Avenue intersecting Sheridan Blvd. In the area the object was seen, no clouds were present at that time. Temperature was approximately 94F. One thing to note: We had a neighborhood power-outage about 30 minutes later which lasted about 3 minutes. I did my best to re-create the object on Paint.

Redhill (UK/England) · United Kingdom
I was driving home along a wide, well lit town street. For some reason I looked up to the left and saw a bright, cadmium red, sphere. Its edges weren`t well defined. Its light was luminous red and the sphere`s outer edge was like a red halo. It was hanging still in a black night sky. I stopped the car and got out to check what I was seeing. It was not a plane as it was so still. There was no man made tower or stadium near by and it was higher up in the sky than anything man-made. There was no centre of white or yellow light in the middle, (as in a lantern). It was higher up than any buildings or trees and definitely not a planet (like Mars). Size is difficult to describe. I perceived it as eighth the size of the moon.

What we see is a "star" type object in the western sky about midnight. Looking through a pair of binoculars, it is a spinning objest, that has maybe Three lights circling it. Red, green, blue. With the naked eye, you can see the color deviation. What is this? It did not reflect light, it created it. We suspect a twinkling star. PD
