Northfield, NJ
At approximately 9:45 pm on 7/11/15 in Northfield, NJ...I was in my front yard, smoking a cigarette, sort of gazing across the street at my neighbor's house. After a few moments, my eyes started to wander off to the left (westward) towards the bike path that is provided to us by our municipality. As I started to look that way, I noticed something in the sky. I glanced up and instantly dropped my cigarette. Above the tree line on the bike path, there were two red objects hovering. They glowed a bright red light and seemed to flash and change colors from red to white. After a second or two of standing there, I ran inside to grab my iPhone so I could record this event. I work in television production and have been around drones for a lot of that work. I also fly weekly for my job. I'm in and around planes and airports and have been for the last 12 years. These objects were not drones. They were not planes. I took 2:30 mins of footage before my phone's battery started to die. It was inside on the charger initially and was only around 5% charged when I took the footage. The two objects hovered for awhile, then one took off and flew away. Far away. They were both pretty large at first. Smaller than a full moon but much larger than a star. The one that flew away though did eventually become small enough that it looked like a star. After a few more seconds, 20 maybe, the one that flew off - which was the one situated on the right hand side - reappeared on the left hand side, lower - again by the tree line and much larger. The two hovered again for about a minute. My phone was dying. I ran back inside to charge it and after a few minutes, I came back outside with my 3 year old son. We recorded another 20 seconds of footage and he - though very young and being a child - was able to identify the object and you can hear his voice call it "the flashing star". I'm well educated. I work for a Fortune 500 company. I have a child and I'm an excellent father. I've been around drones and planes for my work. This was neither. My very first reaction was to run and grab a camera. That wouldn't have been my reaction if I had ever seen anything like this before. It's also important to note that Northfield is a very normal and pristine little borough outside of Atlantic City. The area here is quiet and family oriented and filled with decent people. This is not a hoax or a gimmick or some weird thing. I saw two UFO's. These two objects hovered, flew, flashed bright red and appeared to travel great distances in very short time. I have a video that is worth watching.

Lancaster, CA
July 11, 2015, 5AM ~ Round, solid, white lighted object moving slowly over Antelope Valley, CA. First seen from the south, moving in a wide back and forth (meandering?) motion, ultimately disappearing in the east/north-east skies of the valley. I thought it was a plane or helicopter at first, but it made no sound, had no blinking lights, and moved oddly for a craft carrying people. It was too bright, and didn't fly in a motion similar to satellites or the ISS. When directly overhead it appeared extremely high in the sky. As it moved north-east of my position it headed towards a small, very high cloud formation that had that "wind swept" look to it and I expected it to go under the cloud. Instead, it disappeared into the cloud and emerged a few moments later. I lost view of the object soon after, due to the distance from my position. The entire time it took to travel over the valley took about 15 minutes. The reason I was out at that time in the morning was being awakened by emergency vehicles that had been at my neighbor's house. I am a retired aerospace technician. I worked over 20 years, with experience on aircraft and spacecraft. I have also lived in the Antelope Valley, off and on approximately 25 years beginning in 1975. This is the first time I've seen something like this in the skies over the Antelope Valley, California.

My son asked me pick him up from second shift. I left the house and he called my cell phone to say he wasn't ready. My husband was grouchy and sitting next to me in the car. As I was talking to my son I felt a pang in my eyes from an extremely bright light. I looked ahead on the road to see if I needed to dim my headlights for another car but the angle was wrong so I looked up. There was a bright white circle jetting across the sky. It wasn't too close but I could tell it was large. The light did not blink and it moved amazingly fast at a curved angle. I could not distinguish any rotation. There was no trail behind it and I didn't hear any noise. It wasn't any kind of spotlight. I was talking to my son and I pointed to my husband urgently. I asked did you see that light but he hadn't seen me pointing because it was dark. There was complete cloud cover over the road I was traveling. You couldn't see any stars. It was a good bit above the tree line but it had to be flying low enough to be under the cloud cover. I looked in the local paper to see if anyone else had noticed it or written about it but I haven't heard anything. It made me so excited but also made my stomach ache. I know I saw something AMAZING. I was really disappointed my husband didn't see it because I would have liked to share the excitement with him...so I'm sharing it with you guys instead. Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD

Mastic Beach, NY
Approximately 9pm, I spotted a reddish orange ball shaped object. At first, I thought is was a firework, but the object began to rise slowly from the ground in a diagonal direction. It rose about 300 feet or so and appeared to stop, then it slowly faded away to a speck. This was on the south side of Smith Point Park Beach.

Then we noticed it didn't move, so thought it was the North star, it wasn't! Then on closer inspection whilst filming we noticed it pulse or explode. ...

Haltom City, TX
Went to the back yard to let the dogs out. My wife and I looked to the southwestern sky and we saw what looked like at first a bright star, but it began to move very fast. It moved heading north. Then it got brighter for like 6 seconds. Then dimmed down a bit then turned bright orange. And disappeared like nothing happen. Then a minute later two more lights came out of the northern sky. They turn bright orange and disappeared. Very strange. Definitely not a plane. Witness elects to provide no contact information. PD

I was standing outside. Noticed a red/orange glowing ball moving north towards me. Wasn't a plane. I kept watching trying to figure out what it was. When that ine passed over the trees another came from the south and when that one passed over the trees, one more was behind it. They were following each other in a straight line.

Cape Coral, FL
We heard a humming sound, but we are not sure if that could have been from some other planes that could have been in the area, it was a cloudy night and visibility was low. The ball/circle of light then went behind some low clouds and stopped for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Then it started traveling East. It bounced around in the sky, kind of like when someone plays with a Spin Top, we thought the reason for this was because the clouds were distorting our view. The light then dimmed out and faded away. We looked online for any other sightings of this light and did not find any. There was a smaller plane that was flying close to the ball of light that was traveling in a N/NW direction. We did notice that for the past few years there have been a number of sightings in this same area. We were not able to take a pic or video, but the pics and videos of people that have did record past events had taken pictures of lights that were similar to the one we noticed during our event.

Harstene Island, WA
We are located on NW Hartine Island (WA) and just saw a bright point that looked like a star but it didn't twinkle - it was a solid dot in the night sky, moving from north to south, then in a fast turn-around did a 65 degree turn and headed east. What was crazy was that it was so high and its speed rapidly increased but not as rapidly as any falling star; if anything, it was about 1/1000 of a falling star. I have never EVER EVER seen anything like this. We are searching to understand not just the size, rate, and extreme pivot of this object...nothing has shown up so far. Please post if you've seen something! We are listing the dates as 7/7 and 7/8 because this all happened so close to midnight 7/7.

Spanaway, WA
They were flying low and I am very familiar with the sounds of planes living near JBLM ((Joint Base Ft. Lewis/McChord AFB. PD)) (base), Seatac airport, and a private airstrip 10 miles away. There were also 2 big weird lights I could see through the tress in the county property behind my house which of course could have been someone that broke in back there, but that would be a first. One of the lights faded out then a new light appeared on the opposite side of the light that rem! ained lit. Then went out a few minutes later. I watched the remaining light for awhile to see if it was a lantern, but it didn't move, so I think it it a vehicle of some sort. We suspect a "twinkling" star, given the number of nights the witnesses have observed the object. PD

It was the 4th of July just bout to be the 5th. Me and my girlfriend was just watching the fireworks. Then this reddish-orange object appeared, moving at a steady speed, then it started blinking. The object moved in like a hook formation, then it just disappeared. The object was nothing like any plane that I've seen, and had no movement or actions of any aircrafts that I know. I hope someone else saw the same.

Three circular brightly glowing orangish objects in an assembly. They were moving at a very fast speed, and then one shot off in another direction at light speed. About 10 minutes later, another one followed. Unsure if it was one of the first ones or a seperate one. Photos and video do what we saw no justice. Unlike anything I have ever seen before.

We witnessed an orange/red light moving silently across the sky in a deliberate direction. The size of the light source was far too large to be a regular/commercial aircraft and it was moving south-southwest across the sky. The distance of the object from us was great, several miles at least. After a minute or two, the light vanished as if the craft turned off the light source. I continued observation; showed no trace of the object afterwards for several minutes. It did not return.

Redmond, WA
At 10:46 PM, my husband and I were driving home from watching fireworks. We live in a quiet area, fairly well wooded, in a suburban/rural setting, 15 miles east of Seattle. We live in an area called Union Hill which is 500 feet above sea level and is a hill top above the small city of Redmond, Washington. We were almost home, a neighborhood with most homes on one acre plots. I was watching out the passenger side window of the car when I saw a large firework explode. Beside it I saw an immensely, intense glowing orange light, spherical shape, almost like a fireball. I told my husband to immediately stop the car and back-up. He did and I jumped out of the car and clearly saw a bright, bright, bright orange ball. They were off toward the eastern sky, not too far off as they appeared in the same proximity of where I had just seen the firework explode. (They were not directly overhead.) Followed close behind was a second orange sphere, identical to the first, and! following the driving line of the first ball. Then, trailing just slightly further behind, was a third sphere. All identical in color. The most unbelievable, intense glowing orange I have ever seen. My husband was on the driver side and keep telling me to take picture. I wanted to but just felt that if I moved my eyes the objects would be gone before I could figure out how to get a photo. I watched for maybe 30 seconds. All three looked like they were glowing hot. Once they passed us I could still see them flying but they no longer glowed. I could see almost like an outline of the ball, faintly defined. It was as if the glowing part was in the front of the object but the backs were dark. And then they were gone. My husband says he never really saw them. But it was like nothing I have ever seen before. And clearly they were not fireworks. The witness corrected the date to July 4th. We have corrected it above, as of July 10th, 2015. PD

Noticed horizontal traveling red ball, like it was on fire. The redness slowly went away and object continued to steadily travel in a horizontal direction. It appeared to increase in size as it moved and be rotating. It disappeared behind trees. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Possibly 7 bright orange round objects in a check mark formation moved west over Myersville, MD. They moved slowly and quickly vanished. We witnessed one move very high in the sky before vanishing. Both observers are females in their 50's. One a business owner and one an officer of a national banking organization.

About 20 mins in, my 3 year old pushes my head to the east. I swing my head back and he does it again and points to the sky. In the sky above the water tower are 5 bright lights. They are motionless at first, then all fall a few hundred feet and stop again. 2 of the 5 dissapeared over the city, the remaining 3 formed a perfect triangle. They hovered for a few moments then 2 of the 3 slowly started descending towards the city until they vanished. When they moved they left tracers that made them look like triangles. They moved like nothing I've ever seen before. The remaining light which was the top of the triangle seemed to get brighter. It stayed for a moment then moved toward the city and vanished. I was at a lose of words.

We noticed a red light flashing in the air moving at the speed of a small plane but no noise, about 1000 feet up. There were 7 lights following each other in the same path, they were from 1 minute to 3 minutes apart from one another! We got out some binoculars and it was shape like a black or gray cloud with the light underneath. No wings or sound! The last one went by and the light went out on it and it disappeared!
