Vero Beach, FL
A bright orange light appeared in the night sky over the Atlantic Ocean. We were sitting outside at a restaurant on the beach and pointed it out to our waiter. He had no idea what it was. It flashed orange kinda like fire. It was round, bright and very obvious. It hovered above the ocean for about 3 or 4 minutes, and then just disappeared in a second. It did not reappear. We used a star map app to see if something would be there, and nothing in the night sky came up. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

While driving my asthmatic wife at 0255 hours, during an asthmatic episode, to open up her lungs. Myself...a USAF veteran, with 4 1/2 years of flight line experience, working night shift, viewing normal flight patterns, witnessed an amber pulsating ball floating in a field to the right of the road we were traveling. The circular light was eye level with me driving my vehicle. The field was around 6 feet lower than the road I was traveling in a valley surrounded my forest. The ball was glowing an amber color but pulsating light with small light glowing beneath it. The light looked like a dim flame or my best description of it is it looked as if it was a reflection of light off a lake but in the air. To me it looked more like some kind of energy source over a physical object because of the unusual light it was emitting. After questioning what we witnessed we turned around and confirmed our sighting. Because of my wife's fragile condition, I was unable to park and investigate, and document, the sighting.

Observed Illuminated white ring move south south east at unknown speed and altitude. Thought it was strange to see an airplane without blinking lights, so continued to watch. The whole duration it was visible to me no light blinked, no sound was heard.. Would have heard engine or propellers normally. Too large and slow to be a sat.. Craft became dimmer and smaller as it moved away (distance perception) but the light seemed to be pulsating slightly as it got far in the distance. Told fiance and he recommended the site to me to fill a report out.. I am an open minded person, but I tried my best to debunk what I was seeing while I was seeing it.. I can;t figure out what I saw. Got chills afterwords when contemplating it, it was very strange.

A very bright round light moving quickly across the sky. It was brighter then any plane and did not blink or flash. Watched it for about 2 minutes, and then all of a sudden, it went higher into the sky and was very small then zoomed off up into the sky at a ridiculously fast speed.

Banks, OR
This is the first UFO I ever saw, HOWEVER, I didn't see THIS one with my naked eye. I spotted it later in the pictures I had taken of some chemtrails in the sky. This craft was in the south-eastern sky. I didn't hear anything at the time. Since I can't tell you anymore than what is in the pictures, I will send them along. I have WAY less faith in this sighting than my second sighting in the same section of sky 8 days later (report already filed but I don't have pictures of that craft). Lens flare, caused by pointing a camera at a bright source of light. PD

We witnessed 2 glowing orange light flying silently in tandem from the west head due east. They flew at a slow rate of speed just to the north of our home at an altitude of what appeared to be typical helicopter cruising height of 1200-1500 feet. We observed them for approx. 3-4 minutes until they 'winked out' in the far eastern sky. I have film footage.

Tallahassee, DE
Circular object with light around it. The object didn't make any sounds, it was bouncing up and down and moving from left to right in microseconds. Lights around the object were amber or orange. The object remained in the same location, then in an blink of the eyes, it disappeared. Clear sky we can see the stars but the object was covering some of the starts behind it. We had never seen something like that. We think that the object was about 20 thousand feet, the object did had any strobe lights or red ligh usually seen in an airplane. I have flying experience in a Cessna 172 and in a Piper Seneca II Twin Piston Engine. I have never seen an aircraft with that type of maneuvering capabilities. Whatever, we saw was huge in dimensions and disappeared very fast after hovering for 20 minutes or more. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

A bright, large, light that had an orange haze around its perimeter appeared in the northern sky. It was flying slowing at an altitude of approx. three to four thousand feet. From a distance, it appeared to have a few tiny sparks shooting out from the bottom. The sparks disappeared as the object got closer. It had no other lights of any kind that would identify it as a conventional aircraft. I did hear the faint sound of an airplane that was flying at a much higher altitude in the distance. This bright light that looked like a large star with orange around it flew past me and slowly ascended until it it completely disappeared. Just as I was trying to process what I had just seen, another bright light identical to the first one flew by me, repeating the same pattern.

Outside with dog. Very clear sky, many stars out. Noticed what I first thought was a plane at high altitude but it had no flashing lights and made no sound. Just a single white star-like object moving at moderate speed. It did not fly in a straight line but rather a strange "S" type motion. I tracked it across the sky where it soon dimmed out and disappeared completely. Stayed outside another 5 minutes or so and saw nothing further. I am familiar with airplanes, meteors, comets, etc. It was not any of these.

Saturday, June 13th around 10 pm I was outside on my property with my son teaching him long exposure night photography. We noticed the ISS coming from the southwest. We swung the camera around to its direction. I was shooting with a canon 5D Mark III with a 18-35 L glass lens on a Manfrotto tripod. I shoot in Raw format as well. When the ISS was in the lenses field of view, I pressed the shutter, then went back to looking at the sky. We watched the ISS moving fast and very bright. In the path of ISS we saw a flash of light. I asked my son if he saw that, he said yes. As the ISS continued towards the flash, we saw it again in the same position only a bit higher. We could faintly see it moving higher as the station was approaching its position. It seemed to pulse as it was rising. It was dimmer in luminance then a satellite would be, and then was not visible, then flashed and continued rising. Once the ISS passed the position of the flashes, we stared at the sky, but could no longer see the light. I scrambled it hit the shutter button again to take another photo. It was about 20 seconds later that I took another 30 second image. On the first 30 second image that I took you can see the streak of light from the ISS and the movement of the stars. You can also see a pulsing dim light and we caught one of the flashes. There is no streak or, "star like blur" as the subject seems to be stationary but rising between pulses. There is also no movement/blur in the flash and you can see a dark circle in the middle of the flash .... I have the original untouched raw photos and still have the original images on the SD card... Thank you for your interest… ((first name deleted))

My Mom, sister and myself were in my Mom's yard, watching a storm roll in, and I spotted a circular ufo above my Mom's home. I pointed it out to them. I watched it for a few minutes then went into my house next door to get a telescope. (I now wish I would have grabbed my camera) my wife and niece came out to see what I was going to look at. It was moving very slowly to the northeast. It was above the clouds and the sun was shining on it making it and airplanes shine very brightly. There were no lights visible coming from the ufo. When I returned with my scope my Mom said another craft flew by the first at a high rate of speed. Same size and shape. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

The object was a deeper red in the middle and an orange on the outer circle. It flashed for a moment expanding its size then proceeding to slowly head Northwest at a moderate pace then changing course upwards, hanging for another moment and then just disappearing. I have a few seconds of video of the event before it vanished. One thing to note there has been a noticeable increase in military activity in the area the last 12 hours, including fighter interceptors and Boeing P-8 recon aircraft, seen earlier in the day.

At 2 am from 3am, there was small light spheres heading north by the dozens through a thick cloud cover just heading in the same pattern direction, one after another some lights were brighter then some. On flew in a triangle pattern. i cant stress enough of how this was a fleet this wasnt like one or two spheres of light it was 50 to 100 easly flying above a thick cloud cover.but there was holes in the clouds where you could see ufos flying in one pattern form like they had a course set with no stop. Not only was the fleet a sight to see but the way after this fleet had passed the cloud cover passed after all ufos passed it was instantly a clear night.

Sitting outside on our deck, looking at the stars, noticed what we thought was a star, but it had a red light in addition to the white and did not appear to be moving. Thought perhaps it was a helicopter hoovering but seemed too high in the sky. After observing it for at least 30 minutes, the star/aircraft never moved. Began looking around the skyline and noticed at least 5 other stationary objects with the same red/white lights and they were also not moving. Took out the binoculars and it was clear these were not stars, but stationary objects with the red and white lights. Will continue observing but for now these objects have not moved for over an hour

A total of 6 circular lights hovering over HWY. 27 in the Four Corners Area. There were in groups of 3 in a triangle formation, then 3 of them merged into one and disappeared, and then the other 3 did the same.

Very bright light seen while looking at Venus from Arlington. Thought I was looking at a star but it suddenly seemed to turn from going north to facing East got very bright then disappeared. I am sure it was not an airplane. There were no flashing lights and when it disappeared it was very sudden.

Tehachapi, CA. 9:29 pm. 6-7-2015 I received a phone call from my brother in-law he told me to go outside of my front door. He told me he could see what looked like helicopters flying by. My wife and I looked due north. At about 30 degrees above the horizon what at first looked like orange balls in the sky. After observing them and seeing one more come from the west, the other ones seemed to be flickering and fading out. I’m pretty sure they were Chinese lanterns. Whatever they were they were moving with the prevailing winds from the west heading due east. Holding my hand out at arm's length I would say they were a little bigger than a bb. The next day, after talking to my sister and brother in-law, they said when they first spotted them, there were about 30 that passed by.

I am filing this report on behalf of our friends. I did not witness the sighting. However, based upon the picture I saw of the object, felt compelled to file a report. This family of four were driving home and at approximately 8:45 both husband and wife saw a bright orange colored object in the Western sky. One could make the argument that what they were viewing was Venus; however they claim that the object was moving Erratically in a zig zag pattern. Additionally their intuition was telling them something was off. After about 10 minutes of viewing they stated that the object disappeared into thin air. To try and debunk the picture of the object, I took a picture of Venus to compare. In my opinion, there is no comparison. The picture of the object seemed much closer, more brilliant in color and seemed for cylindrical in shape. Whatever they saw has forever changed their view of what could be out there. ((ADDENDUM FROM SOURCE OF REPORT)) Good evening Peter, As a follow up the recent report that I had filed on behalf of family friends. You had labeled it as a possible hoax. I can assure you that it wasn't a hoax, based upon the picture seen and the "freaking out" of the friends that had witnessed it. Is it possible to remove hoax that from the filing? Any questions, please feel free to call me.

June 7, 2015, at approximately 2:30 a.m.. My spouse and I were standing on our front porch of our home smoking a cigarette when we saw what we thought to begin with was an extremely bright star (almost looked like someone holding a flashlight from the sky pointed back down towards earth). Then we both noticed it was moving. It was solid white light with no other color. Nothing was blinking. It seemed as though it changed its course very suddenly and then faded out of sight quickly. Time from first sighting to disappearance approximately 30–45 seconds.
