Santa Fe, NM

Was constantly changing color from red to green to blue. Moved around in a certain location with speeds and maneuverability that current aircraft are in capable of doing.

My wife and I were standing in our back yard at 8:00 PM and saw 3 large, bright, yellow orbs low in the sky traveling NW to SE at a slow rate of speed. As they passed overhead, 4 more lights appeared from the NW and followed the original 3. They were in no particular formation but definitely headed in the same direction. I should also note, that they did not make any noise and the sky was crystal clear. We could see airplanes in the distance and there was no way that these lights could be misconstrued as domestic aircraft.

Oklahoma City, OK

was at Hefner park, looked up at a plane flying by, but also saw tiny white orbs or something round in shape. they kept going on and off, thought they were flock of birds, but these were way too high, and going faster than birds. they didn't have wings. they were following each other, until they finally disappeared. tried to take pictures and video but it was too bright.... man.

Jacksonville, FL

Driving west down J Turner Butler Boulevard (by the intercostal area) we glanced up to see a white ball of light, standing still over the St Johns river. It began traveling very quickly away from us horizontally- headed north. It slowed down and sped up quickly and made impressive distance in a very short amount of time. It appeared to also slightly dip and soar upwards smoothly a few times. I kept my eye on it the entire time it was in view until it got so far away that it became hard to find through the trees. It was pure white with no blinking lights or anything else that would make me believe it was an airplane or helicopter. Was amazing to see!

Manitowoc, WI

Our apartment building is a few blocks from lake michigan and it is very dark in our neighbourhood. we were sitting and playing PS3 when I noticed a tiny ball of light fly from the street above our building, flew about a block then made a u-turn and then shot down and streaked in-between the two apartment buildings. We are on the second floor and the orb appeared to my boyfriend and I as about a basketball in size and extremely bright as it flew past our windows. He says it was medium blue with a white core, and I say it was lime green with a very bright centre. either way, the block only has one light about fifty feet away, and the area around the apartment buildings is VERY unlit, so this thing really lit up the common area in the two seconds it whizzed in a straight line towards lake Michigan at twenty feet above the ground lighting up the area around it, again it was very bright and colourful and it left a "trail" in our eyes that lasted for a few seconds, kind of like seeing a bright flashlight in a black room. This was not a meteorite or anything as I saw it fly to an altitude of maybe 150 feet before it dived and went by the window. shooting stars dont change course nor do they fly straight and level (at 20 feet) above the ground. We both work a lot and were not drinking at the time, we were just playing sky rim when we saw it.

Monaca, PA

We have attempted to reach the source of the report via e-mail, but he has not responded, as of this writing. The source does not indicate what the date of the sighting was, so we have assigned an arbitrary date, which seems logical to us. PD

Jacksonville, NC

Looking up in sky saw round circle orbit like.not a star...no way. A airplane before it and one after we're with it. It moved quite fast and then disappeared between both planes.

West Deptford, NJ

I was driving home from work in Philadelphia to South Jersey. I got off exit 17 on the New Jersey Turnpike, and saw 4 disks of light making a perfect square. They all moved together and went from right to left then straight up. They appeared to be near the end of the turnpike south. I took a few photos.

My mom and I were on the back deck letting the dog out and we saw a glowing circle/oval liked orb glowing bright white/redish color going from west to east,

Carbondale, IL

This morning (11/21/14), I was lying in bed and through the blinds I thought I saw a shooting star falling straight (horizontally) across the sky, south of my apartment. I got up and looked out of the blinds and realized that this ball of white light was moving too slowly to be a comet. The orb stopped and made slow movements around in the sky. It was rising and falling, making circular motions. Most of its movements were slow, but some were really fast. I watched it out of my window for over an hour. Sometimes it hovered and looked just like a bright star in one spot for a while, then it moved to the left or right across the sky and then it stopped again. Sometimes when the orb turned I thought I saw some red and green light, but it was mostly bright white light that I could see. I tried to take a cell phone video of the UFO, but I couldn’t get a good shot of it because it was pretty far up in the sky. When it was getting close to 6:00 a.m., I looked out my window again and it was finally gone. It should be noted that I saw a similar UFO a few years ago above Harrisburg, IL. - A 3L Law Student at SIU

Macon, GA

Driving north on I-75 between Bass rd exit and Rumble Rd exit in Bibb County-I along with both of my sons spotted something in sky that appeared at first to be a shooting star-however realized it was right upon us, about 50 to 100 ft above the tree line. Color changed from blue to green (glowing) as it slightly paused and then shot downward disappearing behind the trees.

Myrtle Beach, SC

Around 23:05-23:07, I saw a bright orange orb in the northern sky. The object appeared out of nowhere and then disappeared after 3 seconds. The object then reappeared for about 3 seconds, the same bright orange orb in the sky and then disappeared again. It was definitely not a plane as I see planes fly over my community over daily and nightly. What I saw was something that kept me up until 04:00 out of fear of my own safety. I was truly frightened and saw the same object with another witness two days later (11/20/2014) while driving down highway SC 501. What we saw we could not explain by terrestrial terms. I fear for my safety.

Duarte, CA

I went outside with my dog and observed three flickering round red and yellow objects in the sky, the objects were moving away from each other in different directions so I decided to film them, by the time I could queue up my camera phone only two objects remained and I focused on the closest while the other moved up and over my head, the object I was filming then slowly moved west from my location and then sped up quickly and diasappeared. I will gladly share video footage

Zephyrhills, FL

This is my second sighting in 24 hours which is probably related to the one I reported yesterday to this site. Again at the end of my carport I was lookig upward around 8:17 pm and this time the sky was 100% clear and another cool night. There was no wind whatsoever when all of a sudden I couldn't believe what my eyes were seeing. The ones yesterday were a nice size which couldn't be mistaken for anything other than what they appeared to be. This one on this night was 50 times as big, brighter color and looked like it was shimmering and on fire and coming down quickly and when I say quickly I mean I'd bet and I'm not a betting person that it landed. I had a clear look with no obstructions to my view. I mean it descended rapidly but I never heard an impact but I know for a fact that it made contact with the ground. I mean this was the biggest and closest UFO I'd ever seen. From my vantage point it seemed very close. Duration: 27 seconds.

Rancho Bernardo, CA

I was looking outside my window and noticed a strange black sphere, about the size of a soccer ball, with colorful flashing lights raise up from behind a house and slowly ascend into the sky and disappear. There was one light on it that flashed like a strobe light and changed colors from blue to green to red to pink and all over again. At first I thought the object was a remote control helicopter, but looking closely it seemed just a fuzzy black sphere with the flashing light. The object rose upwards and seemed to be affected by the wind (heading to the west). By then it had raised to at least 500 feet or so. There is a law about no UAVs higher than 400 feet in my area. I looked away for a second and the object disappeared. The incident occurred in broad daylight at around 11:00 am.. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Roxborough, CO

My daughter and I saw a large, fast-moving ball of light, without a tail. Went down from the sky at an angle all the way to the ground. It produced no sound, was not fiery.

Pulaski, VA

On 18 November 2014 a little after 11 pm my wife and I observed two objects in the sky several miles apart east of Claytor Lake in Pulaski County. The objects made no sound and sat motionless in the sky for over an hour. Each object appeared as a tight cluster of multicolored blinking lights - white, red, green, and blue. After watching for an hour and attempting to take photos we drove home. Several months earlier we had watched another of these objects hovering over Northwest Pulaski County, again at night, sitting motionless in the sky and making no sound. We observed this object for 2 hours before going back in the house. On both occasions the objects were later noted to have departed the area. Possible stars?? PD

Lexington, KY

Stepped outside to watch the Leonid meteor shower for a while, was staring straight up towards the radiant in the constellation Leo, movement to the right of me SW. Glanced over to my right and saw a fast moving object lightly orange like metal starting to get hot but not bright moving Southwest to South in direction. I thought we'll that's no Leonid meteor and did a double take because it never flared up or fireballed like I was seeing, plus it was moving in the wrong direction for the meteor shower. So I continued to watch it move and noticed that it had shape, like a grey mass, spherical but not defined. I thought maybe it was an owl, but it was orange hot on the bottom edge. Then it stopped dead still in the sky, thats when the hair on my neck stood up. It stopped, and made an immediate change in direction due South for about 1 second, then stopped again, changed direction again and moved East, stopped a third time and then just accelerated incredibly fast South out of sight. If it was an owl, it had a hot rear end and had reason to move that fast. Pretty incredible sighting. A first for me and I'm an amateur astomomer, I am always looking up at the night sky.

Gilson, IL

On 11-16-14 at about 3:30 pm, I was deer hunting in central Illinois. I was facing west on the east side of a wooded draw and the wind was blowing out of the west. I purposely chose this stand to be down wind of deer traveling the draw. I saw a small object come down about 4 feet in front of me. At first I glanced at it and thought it was a spider or some insect. I stared at this object for a few seconds and realized it was not an insect. This object was a round ball slightly smaller than a marble with a brownish iridescent color, like motor oil. This ball hovered in front of me at eye level, about 4 feet directly in front of me. It was moving up and down and side to side about 6 inches as if it was trying to stay stable in the breeze blowing in my face, but not getting closer to me. I instantly grabbed the seat of my deer stand with my left hand, to keep from falling, and reached out with my right hand to grab the ball. The ball dropped to about level with my feet staying about 4 feet out and began hovering again. I sat down and the ball rose to above eye level about a foot. The ball slowly went up and down in front of me and began hovering at eye level again. I grabbed my seat again and before I could reach, it dropped at a curving angle away from me into the wind. I lost sight of the ball as it blended in with the leafy ground of the draw. I could not understand what I had just saw and I tried to explain it away in my mind. I relized the wind was blowing towards me and it stayed the same distance away from me the entire time, about 20 seconds. I am used to seeing spiders, moths etc. while hunting but it was 25 degrees and had been below freezing for several days. You do not see insects in this weather at all. This ball had no wings, legs or propellers and it was not natural like a piece of leaf or stick. It just looked like a ball of shiny motor oil hovering without gravity. I did not see this out of the corner of my eye, I looked at it clearly and close the entire time. I was very concerned and still am. This troubles me as I can not think of a logical explanation for this. We spoke at length via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be quite sincere and sober-minded. He served as a public employee, in a very responsible position, for approximately two decades. PD

Walford, ON · Canada

I was 14 years old, and living with my grandma in the bush, there is glass sliding doors in the front entrance of the house which is facing a steep hill driveway made of gravel and dirt, not many neighbours it’s all camps down that road and mostly bush area as well as a lake. I felt drawn to look outside at the stars, no explanation just drawn to look and as I opened the sliding door my heart dropped. I have never seen anything like it. It was a perfect circle not moving just hovering like a giant orb right above the tree lines about 100 feet away from me. It did not have flames or fire around it it was perfectly white and round and looked almost like the shape of a full moon just up close instead of far into space. It was as close as the top of the trees it lasted about 60 seconds as soon as I called my grandma to look it didn’t fly away it just vanished. It changed me forever seeing that. The giant circle was about the size of a bus maybe bigger I couldn’t tell as it didn’t look 3dimensional I could not see the dimensions because it was so bright. The object has no sound at all and the dogs were barking because we did have three dogs at the time.

Nettleton, MS

My girlfriend and were in the driveway looking at the stars as we often do when a silver colored sphere came out of the east. It looked like a shiny metal marble. The object was low enough for me to see light reflecting on its surface. It was totally silent and moved at a slow speed. When it got almost directly over my position it made a very smooth and very perfect 90° turn to the north. Not at all like the turning of an airplane. Just a sudden, very smooth change of direction. At this point it was heading away from me so I positioned myself and my girlfriend to where we could see it when it was to pass underneath some very high clouds. I had a very distinct feeling that it was aware of being watched. It was at that time that it faded into invisibility. Not a sudden vanishing but rather a two second fade into thin air going from a solid object to see-through to invisible. During the entire incident my girlfriend and I didn't speak a word to one another. When it was over I asked her to tell me what she just saw and her account was exactly the same as mine. That in itself lends credibility to the sighting. @ Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Ipswich, MA

After sitting in our car at the beach to view stars three orange lights appeared in the sky. My friend and I, along with two others in a car next to us, exited our vehicles to get a better look. For about five minutes we watched the orange lights move in an obscure fashion and slowly disappear in the sky one by one. We spoke briefly to the people next to us who had seen it as well. No noise was produced.

Oxnard, CA

I saw 4 bright red glowing red orbs in the sky. The objects were moving in one direction very slowly. The back 2 were getting closer and separating, one more than the other. I went to go park my truck and got back to where I could see the lights but I couldn't anymore. I walked back and forth in hope to see them again. I looked up and saw one out of sudden. I quickly got my phone camera and tried to take a picture but the camera lagged to take a picture. The single orb I saw seemed to turn because the bright light started to fade out until if looked like a dim star until there was nothing at all. The orbs seemed to come out strange to me because i knew they weren't planed; There weren't any flashing lights and airplanes don't flight like that. This was a solid red light moving eradically.
