Towson, MD
Towson, MD, near Towson Town Center June 6, 2015, around 10:40 p.m., I saw multiple moving bright spots in sky. They were flying from North to South. They were flying in groups, one group after the other. There were about 4 groups of 5 spots. I thought it's helicopters and looked at them with my binoculars. They were definitely not helicopters, they were silent bright circles moving with different speeds, slow at first and faster later.

Driving inside my community I looked up at the sky and noticed 3 orange colored circles in the sky. The objects were moving in the same direction and very close to each other so I knew they couldn't be airplanes or stars. I recorded the images and slowly one by one disappeared into the night sky. When I arrived at my house and parked my car, I told my 2 neighbors that were outside and started to show them the video. Then I looked up at the sky and noticed 2 more which my neighbors also saw. We stayed looking up asking ourselves what it could be and then they also disappeared. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Medford, ME
My boyfriend and I were just getting home from a trip and noticed a few weird lights in the sky, so we decided to stand outside and watch for a bit. Not even a minute later we both witnessed one low and slowly moving bright orange circle moving horizontally and stopping repetitively. It then began to speed up, and eventually disappeared.

Tiverton, RI
Seven witnesses observed glowing lights after returning from a boating trip on the Fourth of July of 2015. At around 10:30 PM, three witnesses at the rear of the boat observe what appeared to be a yellow/orange glowing light while looking at the night sky. We assumed it to be a planet or bright star. However, several minutes later, it disappeared. Roughly forty-five minutes later, several more lights began to appear without having ascended from the ground and just simply appeared high in the sky. There were seven witnesses to this event, in which there were seven lights. The lights seemed to maneuver independently, but occasionally appeared to be in two triangular formations. Each object moved silently and ascended and descended slightly multiple times and sometimes moved in horizontal motions. About ten to twenty minutes later, each object began to disappear one by one. Some appeared to change shape slightly by becoming more of an oval before dimming and di! sappearing. For the next twenty minutes or so, a couple of the objects reappeared but ascended and disappeared shortly after. We stood on the boat at the dock in confusion and debated as to what the lights could be. All of the Fourth of July fireworks displays in the area had finished over an hour and a half prior to the initial sighting. Since the events, we have all been wondering what the moving lights were, why they were there for so long, and why they kept returning.

Garden City, SC
On June 3, 2015, I was on vacation with my family in Garden City, South Carolina (just south of Myrtle Beach). It was a full moon and absolutely beautiful outside, and at approximately 11:45 PM EDT, I went down to the beach to sit around for a while. I got to the beach and was standing in ankle deep water trying to take a picture of the moon over the water, when I noticed something more directly overhead and to the right, which was south of my exact location. Upon further investigation I saw a bright orange glow in the sky, and immediately thought “plane”. I looked at it for another second or two and realized it wasn’t a plane at all-it was too bright, too consistent in color, and at the distance that I could perceive it was, moving far too fast to be a plane. To serve as a point of reference, I immediately thought of planes that fly in on a regular basis. Just earlier in the evening, I was sitting on the balcony with my grandparents, watching two planes circle over the ocean, before going back inland to land at Myrtle Beach airport. They moved much slower than whatever the glowing orange thing in the sky was. I’m a Coast to Coast AM insider and overall nerd, so I immediately stopped trying to take a picture of the moon and started trying to get a picture/video of the bright orange glow in the sky. Despite my best efforts, I couldn’t get my camera to focus on it and get a good look with my phone. I don’t know if that was user error or something else. Also as a point of comparison, when you see a plane, and particularly soon after takeoff, it appears to go upwards, but also horizontally-it looks like its climbing at a steady rate. While the bright orange glow was moving quickly, and upwards, after a couple seconds, it went straight up. Its horizontal motion was short lived and once it started going straight up, it was completely out of sight within seconds. I took a second to gather myself and called a friend who is a fellow nerd and MUFON member. My iPhone call record states I placed that call at 11:52 PM EDT, and I deduce the approximate time that I saw the bright orange glow was 11:50. I only got to see it for 20-30 seconds, but there’s no doubt in my mind that whatever it was isn’t from around here. More about me; I’m a church music director in a denomination of Christianity you’ve heard of before. I have a undergraduate degree in church music, and I’m currently back in school working on an accounting-add on to my degree, with intentions of becoming a CPA. As far as anyone can tell, I have a clean bill of mental health. I count myself lucky and blessed to have gotten to see something of such coolness on such a beautiful night. The only thing I hate about it is no one else got to see it with me; my girlfriend turned in early, and I’m kind of mad at her about it.

Haledon, NJ
I was traveling in Haledon, NJ, and made a right onto Belmont Ave. from Burhans Ave. and spotted a cluster of about 12 orange color flying objects. There was a spacing and another cluster of 8 came behind them. As they disappeared 2 or 3 and then single objects came up. The single objects were traveling a lot faster as to try to catch up with the group. They were silent and a slight halo could be seen on the clouds. A commercial jet came by significantly higher in altitude than the objects. I reported the incident to the Haledon police. I took a cell phone picture of the single ones.

Mountain City, TN
We saw at least 8 different solid white lights moving across the night sky. 2 of them were as low as a small plane, but with no noise at all. The others were way up in the sky but again solid white lights without noise (not like a jet) and jets can't fly at those altitudes. We have been seeing these lights with increasing frequency for the last month. The difference with last night is they are now flying lower in the night sky than before last night. What are they? And do we have to worry?

Naples, FL
Me and my wife stepped outside around 12:00am for some fresh air. We live in Naples, Florida, where there's not much activity going on where we stay. Around midnight, I look up in the sky (sw side) and see this object flashing different colors green, blue, yellow, white and red. What amazed me the most is the way it moved , first in a erratic circular motion. then it moved to random but creative ways of direction, (triangular or oval movements as if it was making a symbol or message, criss crossing thru the sky. Shortly after, it then moved in ways that if you tracked where it was from point a to point b, you could see its almost as if it was forming symbols for communication or attention. I grabbed my camera and started recording and taking pictures. Strangely my camera started malfunctioning as I took pictures and videos. It was shot from my iPhone , however when you see the video you can clearly the object and me chasing the object thru the sky. It disappeared then appeared out of nowhere in a different direction. I'm really wanting to share this with everyone because its rare to sight ufos where I live in Florida. It was not a plane, nor a star or a satellite simply because it was moving consistently, the colors, the way it illuminated, making unique movement as if it was forming symbols for communication. Here are the pics and link to videos, you be the judge. I might not know much about astrology but I know for sure this was not a natural occurrence. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1SSwf6FYPSE https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=B4dZyp9AprE https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_-LaWTUV1zc

Santa Rosa, CA
We observed a luminous white circular object fly slowly overhead for about 1 1/2 hours. Total time was from about 15:45- 17:15. It looked like a small moon. It moved very slowly from East to West. We were able to watch it through binoculars but could not make out any details or dimension. Our sighting was verified by a friend who was about 5 miles to the west of us. It was hard to tell how high up it was, but it seemed like many thousand feet as we could both see it at the same time and it appeared generally overhead. Because of the distance, we have no idea of the size. It never appeared to vary its course, just slow and steady in a straight line. As it got farther away (up and away?) It looked like a very bright star/planet. Much brighter than Venus.

Went outside to see if i could see any stars and noticed high in the a stationary object that was blinking red and green lights. I called my husband and he saw it to; he didn't think it was an airplane or satellite since it seemed to be stationary. I asked him to get the video camera and I was able to capture a couple of seconds before it "sped away"! Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

My fiance and I were driving our normal route home and I saw four very bright orange lights hovering in the sky. I asked her if she saw them and she said yes. I knew right off that it wasn't a plane because the objects were one single non-blinking light and they were all sitting there perfectly still and then they started moving to the side all in perfect unison. They ended up behind the tree line and I knew of a clearing were you can see everything. They were gone no trace or anything just vanished. A plane couldn't go that fast. Naturally, I start freaking out because that was the coolest thing I've seen by far.
