Newberg, OR
I witnessed along with my husband, my sister-n-law, and my two sons 8-10 bright orange orbs moving very slowly in a SW formation. I say formation because they seemed to move in an orderly fashion. They were methodically spaced apart from South to North then slightly Eastern. As the orbs moved as they approached East they disappeared. Almost as if they were being blocked by something or entering something. This is the third strange sighting I have noticed since living over three years in Newberg, OR. I have always shoved them off as to my eyes playing tricks on me. I am not a believer in aliens or any such thing. However, this was an incredibly strange event that I cannot (or anyone else with me) can explain, so I thought it noteworthy enough to post. Thank you.

I arrived at my parents' home Christmas morning, at approximately 2 AM. Since it was late, and my parents had turn my old room into my niece's play room, I took my spot in the living room on the couch which is about 8 foot from the door that leads to the backyard. (Backyard is surrounded by woods, except for our cow pasture). Ready to go to sleep, I remove my glasses and sank into to the couch. Immediately, an intense orange glow caught my attention through the close blinds on the door. I put my glasses back on to get a better look and observed what I thought to be an orange lamp post that I'd never seen in my 24 years between the woods and the cow pasture. As I watched I could swear I saw moving up-and-down and a little side to side. For the first 15 minutes I just sat there stunned at what I was observing and then I noticed that it looks like this orange or was touching down in the pasture and sending off some sort of electricity all around it. Shortly after I noticed a smaller white blue orb hovering higher in the sky but keeping to the right. I started to believe I was crazy so I pulled out my iPhone to see if I could confirm what I was seeing with my eyes. I not only got pictures but videos, but as I lay on the couch trying to record these orbs I realized suddenly that it was aware I was watching them and every time I focused on one of them it would start to shape shift. Now frozen in fear nearly an hour later I begin to feel that I needed to hide. The red orb began to come as close as 20 foot from the back door. The fear that I felt was more real than anything else I can remember. So much that I was too terrified to even get up and wake up my parents or my brothers. Next thing I know, it is 6 AM, and I wake up in a cold sweat and find myself in the same spot. I am totally forgotten what I'd seen and videoed. Shortly after my family woke up and I showed them my videos. They were shocked and had no explanation. I remember telling my dad that I watched it for three hours or more, and that I eventually discovered that it met me no harm and went to sleep. It wasn't for several days that I came out of the fog I was in to realize that I actually have no such memory of thinking that. To this day I have no explanation. I feel like something is definitely happening all around us and because not enough eyewitnesses of come forward, the general public is waving off this phenomena.

December 24th 2014 at 6:30 pm i noticed the two dogs in my house where barking erratically,almost in a panic. so i let them out the back door to let them do there business and to have a smoke.as i look up to the north sky i noticed a red light far off into the distance.as there are planes and helicopters fly over constantly.i noticed the light was bright red on the outside but a amber,almost burgundy color on the inside.that's what caught my eye.and what made me continue to watch this light come closer.after sixty seconds of this now,what appears is a red orb is no more then a eighth to a quarter mile away,it slowly circled a radius of what i only can assume a mile radius. disappearing into the tree line then reappear 30 seconds later.from when the object first appeared,to when it was close enough for me to see this was,in fact a U.F.O.to me,was about 3 minutes.startled by its slow moving obvious controlled flight pattern.and let me make this clear. this object! did not have the regulated red and green flashing lights.this object glowed. I immediately ran into the house and grabbed my phone.which was the closest camera to document this event.when i looked up.before i could start filming i noticed there where three.slowly moving one right after the other thru the tree line.i took photos but i couldn't get a shot due to neighbors porch light.how dark it was.and quality of a phone camera.this all occurred for about a minute.the three red orbs flew in a pattern.circling in ten second intervals thru the tree line.making two separate fly by's from my vantage point. i switched my phone to video record.lifted my head up,pressed record.they were gone.it was so dark.and every dog within a ear shot had a bug up there ass,and not putting it lightly.freaking out.i tried to catch a glimpse and couldn't see anything. i grabbed the dogs and put them in the house.a total of 20 seconds of doing so.i went back outside and looked up.to my absolute amazement.the tree red orbs where in a triangle formation.even closer.i pressed record and was able to get a five second recording before my phone shut down.when i say shut down,i mean immediately off.frantically turning my phone back on, i was able to capture one min,five seconds.of these three orbs in a triangle formation.suspended.then it became dark.as it seems they disappeared into a fog. 12/25/14 at rough the same time.6:32 pt i witnessed what seemed to be the same event.three red orbs.following the same flight pattern as the night before.elapsed ten minutes.but south of same vantage point.about 5 to 10 miles away.i cannot one hundred percent confirm,by that vast distance.it was the same event.although it appeared to be.there where also what seemed to be planes and helicopters following these red objects.agian.the distance between me and these objects where to far away to one hundred percent confirm.that it was the same event from the night prior.

Out for a walk with dog that cold, clear and vey calm night. Stopped to let dog do his business and looked up and saw orange, red ball of light moving from north to south. I thought why would someone be lighting Chinese lanterns on a night like tonight, then I ruled out not a plane or helicopter. No sound at all, and did not seem real high, maybe as high as helicopters normally fly. Then I looked north and saw another one coming, and then another, that was 3, they were in a straight line formation, then as i look north, i see 2 of them coming in a vertical formation, spread apart maybe 3 or 400 yards apart and they come overhead. No sound and dont seam to be real high, as im watching i can see a couple jets way up in sky. Then, as the 2 vertical ones went by another, one come overhead, and I watched it speed up to catch up with the 2, and when it went in between the two it glow went out. That's when I couldn't believe what i was seeing. After that, 2 more went over, and as they going away from me, their light just seemed to disappear as they got so far away from me. I know for fact not Chinese lanterns, not an airplane, and definitely no helicopter. Had to ufo's or some kind of government project, just wish someone was with me when i saw them, dog had no clue. Went on internet that night and saw similar video of what I saw.. Made hair stand up on back of my neck! Very unexplainable.....

Alamogordo, NM
I was walking my dog in my neighborhood. It was a cold, clear night. As I crossed a bridge, I looked up in the sky to the west and noticed a large red/orange orb hovering stationary in the sky. In terms of size, I estimated it to be large, probably at least 25 meters in diameter, it seemed to be hovering about 200 meters over the area of Holloman Air Force Base, which is about 12 miles away, and was noiseless. I wasn’t sure what to think at first. I had never seen anything like it. I kept looking and was amazed when it moved instantly, effortlessly, and noiselessly about 50 meters to the right. It hovered there for about one minute, then disappeared, so I continued to walk and turned in an easterly direction, thinking that was all, but I turned back to look and it was there again, then disappeared. Again I walked, turned around and it was there, watched and it disappeared. This happened once more before it disappeared altogether. I am 55 and have lived in Alamogordo for most of my life. I've been teaching for 26 years. I have never seen any UFOs before or since. It was an intriguing experience, but not frightening. I wasn’t going to report it, but changed my mind. It was very interesting. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Around 5:30pm on 12/23/14, my fiance and I were heading back from our daughter's appointment. We were at the intersection of Hwy 100 and Oklahoma heading East when we noticed 2 orange/amber looking lights in the sky directly in front of us. One was higher than the other. We pulled over to the side of the road a few blocks up since they seemed to be right over us at this spot. The lights were coming from the SW and were heading NE. They came by the pairs with one usually slightly higher than the other and they all (the pairs) seemed to be equidistant from each other When directly over us they were a really intense orange/amber color and extraordinarily bright and they all had an aura of color over them that was either white, red or very light baby blue. At random, some lights would flicker out and then sometimes went back on. They moved at a steady pace and some even stopped and hovered fora short time before continuing on. We observed some of them get into a triangle formation, and then moved together at the same speed so as to retain the triangle it had made. I briefly captured the formation on my phone. I believe these objects were capable of great speeds due to the fact we were able to see these intense orange fiery orbs go from a massive light to just a point in the sky like a star. Then as the second the last pair flew over us, one of the lights blacked out (my fiance observed this). My fiance said he still saw the object moving despite the fact it went out. After a few moments I saw it too. It was easy to see it because it had been raining so there was a lot of overcast. What I saw was a solid black circle silhouetted against the sky. We watched it until it eventually it disappeared behind the trees in front of us. The lights either faded away or they either blinked and went out. At first we thought these were helicopter but there wasn't any headlights or anything which was odd since it was dark and overcast out. I don't think they were flares or anything because they were sometimes stationary, and we were able to observe the shape of the object. There was no sound except for the cars behind us. We both were able to obtain footage on our phones

I was driving near the Burbank Airport and I caught sight of a small silver gleaming sphere in the sky. I was trying to keep my eye on it as I was driving and it seemed to stay in the same spot. All of a sudden it appeared to split into two yellow lights and then it took off quickly and was out of sight within seconds. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I am a doctor of theoretical physics. I have never seen something in nature that behaved the way these objects did. They flew in perfect formation pulling off maneuvers that no man made aircraft could. It was spectacular to witness.

St. George, UT
An amber light in the sky around 10:40PM to 11:00PM last night in the area of 3000 and 1450 Street in South West St. George? It came from the east about the speed of a helicopter but seemed to be a little slower and no motor sound. It traveled in a southwesterly direction and seemed to hover in the Stone Cliff area for a while. A couple of times it emitted a few sparks. The light flared and almost went out a couple of times, a few more sparks and then it went out completely. Just wondering what it could be.

Specific location from which the event was observed: Latitude 45.152246 Longitude -92.930474 While driving north on the ~13600 block of Isleton Avenue, I noticed 3 bright orange/yellow orbs suspended along the northern treeline. As I and the motorist behind me both pulled over to witness the event, another 4 orbs appeared, and the orbs began to move around each other in the form of a spiral, or double helix. One orb remained stationary during this time. We observed the event for about 5 minutes after pulling over. All of the orbs faded away into the night sky, while the stationary object stayed for another 5 minutes. This stationary object then vanished from sight quite rapidly. I filmed the event via cellphone from my car during the initial 30 seconds of the sighting, then for another minute while I watched with the other motorist. I have the two short videos in .mp4 format if you would like them. We spoke with the witness, and he seemed to us to be sincere and sober-minded. We will request a copy of the video. PD

Saw 3 orbs of orang redish lights low in the sky moving south west. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Peter, The other witness was my wife she's a little weird about this stuff and I don't expect her to submit a report. The lights were much larger than a star. More like the size of a typical car taillight from a couple hundred yards. I have attached two photos they're kind of hard to see because it was taken with an iPhone. The third light was out of the cameras field of View. ((END ADDENDUM))

Lancaster Mill, SC
On December 16, 2014 around 5:20pm, I was driving home to Charlotte from work in my 1997 850 Volvo. I had my sun roof open going NW bound on W Meeting Street which is in the area of Lancaster Mill, SC 29720. While heading down the hill, I turning on my cruise control to the speed limit. I then leaned back in my seat to glance up at the sunset's effect on the clouds. That's when I noticed a white glowing spherical object in the sky. After a brief check of the road in front of me, I looked back up once again. What I could see from my angle was a bright white hot glowing spherical light, but as it traveled it started to morph from the glowing all white light in to what looked like the shape of a metal or aluminum box that only had three sides. The left side was a mix of bright white hot orangey colors as if it were fire or maybe reflecting the sunset. The bottom side was mix of the same colors, bright but warmish. The top was a mix of light blue to silvery to grey colors that changed as it traveled. I briefly checked the road again and then looked back up and took a few seconds to get a good clear focus on the shape again when I got the feeling it was tracking my speed which was about 45 mph. As I stayed focused on the sphere I tapped the brake with my foot to shut off the cruise control and it led me for a second or so as I declined in speed but then I noticed I caught up to it again and thats when I saw what looked like antenna protruding out of the 3 sides of the now squarish shaped sphere then it started to slowly increase its speed as I got closer to going under the overpass to go onto the on ramp to go towards Chester county. Once I got on the overpass, it was out of my site. I guesstimate it was about 2,000. to 2,500. feet up I say this only because of its size. But as I think about it now it could have been higher. I now have a broadcast quality video camera in my glove compartment just incase.

College Station, TX
I am a 22 year old male college student currently attending Texas A&M University. At about 4 AM on 12/16/14 I stepped outside to stargaze on this unusually clear night. One of my roommates was also outside with me, but looking in a different direction when the event occurred. I was facing east when I noticed a bright white orb of light on the horizon. It was moving from south to north with extreme velocity. In the course of about 3 seconds the orb-like object continued on it’s path in the West-Northwest direction with speed near that of a shooting star until it spontaneously disappeared from sight ( no visual obstructions). My best estimation, based off of observation, is that the object was between 10,000 and 15,000 ft elevation and moving at least 20x-30x faster than any aircraft I have ever seen. When I first noticed the orb I exclaimed for my roommate to look, and by the time he was facing in the right direction it had just disappeared. This was my first UFO sighting, I figured I should report it especially since I am very curious if anyone else in this area saw it.

Grand Junction, CO
I work nights and left on a break to a local supermarket. Upon my return to my place of employment, I parked in the back of the building where I always do. I saw a large orange spherical shape that was emitting beams of light. I got out of my car to get a better look and determined that it could not have been a helicopter (I work near St. Mary’s Hospital), nor could it have been an airplane because they do not emit light in a circle. I was facing north and the sphere traveled from west to east at a steady, smooth, fast pace. It did not have a tail and it did not trend downward. The farther away it traveled, it seemed to trend upward. I did get my phone and thought I was recording it when it was close but then realized that it was not recording until it was farther away. I did get a recording of this when it was farther away and I can’t figure out how to send it in an email. It says the file is too big but the video is only for 30 seconds.

Framingham, MA
Was driving northwest through Framingham, and I saw a large, bright electric blue orb. It was a blue I'd never seen before. Much like a blue Christmas light. but orbital, gigantic and bright, and a bit more cyan than a Christmas light. It seemed to take a downward arc from a high altitude, and it went as far down as I could see behind the trees along the horizon about a mile away from me, near Nobscot mountain. It was difficult to measure scale, but I'd estimate it was about the size of a full-size pickup truck, length-wise. It was not a flare, airplane, helicopter, or meteor, which I've seen many of at night. The behavior, speed, trajectory, size and color were enough to add up to an anomalous object in the night sky. It never faded, didn't have a trail of any sort, and had a slight flare around it, due to the brightness of the object.

A glowing, brightly lit orb with no discernible edges hovering above the tree line about 100 feet in the air. It was moving quietly in an east to west direction. The light was not bright enough to glare or hurt my eyes, but it was a brillant white. The size would have been about the size of a medicine ball. There are no streets in line with the path it was taking.It faded off into the horizon just before dusk. I am posting this because two weeks prior my husband saw a similar thing, he said he thought something must be wrong with his eyes. His UFO was more cylinder shaped. There was another posting in our city. The only aircraft that fly this path are repaired helicopters going and coming from Donaldson, AFB. Occasionally we will see a fighter jet or troop carrier/cargo plane.

Plantation, FL
Walking my dog, noticed a constant whooshing sound similar to that of cars on a highway, only I don't live next to as much of an active street as this sound is making it seem. Not to mention it sounds alot like it is coming from the air above the distant northern area. If it is just a road, I never noticed the noise. This peaked my interest and curiosity, and I started walking my dog south in the direction of the neighborhood's dumpster to throw away a trash bag, away from the noise with my back to it, occasionally looking backwards into the sky. A little over halfway to the dumpster I look behind me once more, and I see an orb of white or gray light shooting across the sky about 3 or 5 times faster than a nearby plane would. It was at no point stationary, and I saw it moving from right to left at about a 35 or 40 degree angle downwards, and I lost sight of it when it went behind the horizon formed by nearby trees and houses. If you were looking straight dow! n the horizon and moved your eyes about 10 degrees upward, that is where the object was in terms of height/distance. No sound from the object, and I am unsure if the whooshing is related. I can still hear it now however, about an hour or less later. Everything appears noisier than usual tonight, and there seems to an increase in air traffic, however I do often see many aircraft due to living somewhat not far from an airport. From my terrace I have a large view of the sky because of the empty space caused by the lake.

Pawling, NY
Our family was sitting down after dinner in our dining room when one of our guests stepped outside to take a phone call. While he was on his cell phone, he noticed two red round and erratically pulsating objects off to the northwest. One of the objects dipped down into the treeline near a local park called Green Mountain Lake (which is off the Appalachian Trail and located near a ridge that connects to West Mountain.) The first object hovered visibly in the forest on the mountain-side for a few minutes. Then, it quickly turned white and shot off at in at a diagonal, moving southwest at great speed. The speed at which this object moved confirmed it was not a plane or helicopter. Being close to the door, our guest yelled back to us, "Do you guys want to see a UFO?" With that, 3 other family members including myself went outside and where we also briefly witnessed the second red glowing object repeat the same pattern: dipping into the treeline, hoveri! ng, turning white and shooting off at great speed. Our neighbor, who was walking his dog, also saw the incident and asked us, "Did you see that?" In addition, as we live in a high traffic flight zone, there was one airplane flying at a higher alititude moving in westward direction possibly toward Stewart Airport at the time.

My Grandson and I were out watching for meteors and from the North of my house low in the sky this spherical red object with a tubular yellow light in the middle came silently and steady over my house what seemed like a 2 miles up and traveled South until it disappeared into deep space. It was incredible and scared the heck out of my Grandson. Like nothing else I have ever seen.

Orb that moved erratically and shifted from white to a blue violet color. The blue shift seemed to affect my camera's focus. We watched it til it went over the horizon at an unbelievable speed.

I was awakened in middle of the night by a brilliant yellow/white orb-like light that was beaming on me. I had been asleep, facing the wall - away from the window. The bright light appeared inside the bay window in our 4th floor condo bedroom. Sat up and turned to look at the huge orb. It made no sound and disappeared within seconds. We have assigned an arbitrary time above, to reflect a sighting "in the middle of the night." PD
