Orange orbs brighter and bigger than the stars. Every few minutes they would appear and form some sort of pattern- straight line, arch, diagonal- being different each time (3 times) it would fade in and out.. starting with one fire ball and that one making another and so on- forming the pattern. Sighting was at Litchfield Beach

As I was driving down my road, I noticed an orange light (resembling flames) in the sky. I turned around and went back and parked in my driveway, where I observed 3 orange spheres or orbs flying east. They made no sound and the light was steady. They were flying in succession, not together. The total time of observation was 8 minutes. I attempted to get a video of it on my iPhone but it's not the best quality.

Clovis, CA
On an early Thursday evening of October 09, 2014, approximately 7:08pm. I was sitting on my porch, when I witnessed a bright orb directly over me, moving slowly on a north/northeast trajectory. I had my Canon VIXIA HF R50 camcorder with me and started to record the object. I recorded the object until it blinked out. After recording the object, I went inside to upload the video on my computer. When I started to watch the video in 1080p HD, you can see another smaller orb power up and leave the first larger orb. Clearer this shocked me because, I don't know of any craft that can do something like that. I am an amateur when it comes to recording so excuse the shakiness. The video is on Youtube under "Bright Orb over Clovis"!

We both saw one stationary 'orange orb or light' a few thousand feet away up in the sky. It just sat in the sky, not moving. Then it moved down and finally to the right in a perfectly straight line clearly unaffected by the wind. After it disappeared behind the tops of some trees, another one appeared near where the first one appeared. Wondering how the heck the first one could have gone from behind the trees to that original spot without my seeing it was certainly bizarre until another one appeared right where the first one was. There were then the two until they sped away. These were not Chinese Lanterns, fireworks, flares, weather balloons, falling leaves or meteors. There were no sounds and they were unlike anything I have ever seen before. This occurred in the early evening about the time the sun was setting. We are quite remote and I was hoping that what I saw was perhaps a pair of drones used for hunting. However, there was nothing else attached to them and I cannot find any pictures online of drones that look like what we saw. I do not believe in outer space UFO's, and this has me starting to wonder. I am a professional in my mid 40's, and the other witness is in her 70's. We are both college educated, economically stable and not under the influence of any mind altering substances.

I was on my back deck and I noticed a bright round object in the southeastern sky. I stopped moving around and just stared at it for a while. I called to my wife to come and look at it as well and we couldn't figure out what it was. I told her to watch it as I went in the house to get my camera. I took a couple of pictures of it and then sat down and watched it for about an hour. During this time, it was moving slowly to the south and was getting further away. It was a bright white/silver round shape. The sky was quite clear and this object really stood out with the blue sky.

They were going near cloud and seem to be hiding in it and popping out.I kept looking and I saw 2 other really close to a commercial airplane that was taking off at the airpot near the cn tower. Those i wasnt able to catch them on camera but right after this, I caught on camera what seem to be 3 orbsI look at my video more carefully and i could spot 2 other moving really fast around the 3 that i clearly saw. I find strange all those activity i been seeing Is happening right at the moment of the blood moon. The blood moon also was really creepy to look at at night and had this strange halo of light really huge like a lense covering earth.

North Myrtle Beach, SC
Three bright horizontal orange lights appeared over the ocean in front of our condominium while we were sitting outside on the balcony, facing the ocean. First, one light, then the second and the third appeared horizontally. These lights lit up for 3 to 5 seconds and repeated every 15 to 20 minutes and seemed to move south, down the coast. Lastly, we saw 9 total orange spheres at one time. Three horizontal and the other six, in back of the horizontal three. The total event lasted from approximately 20:50 EDT to 22:00 EDT. A total of 4 witnesses saw this event.

There were three red orbs in a single line at about a 45 degree angle one further below and one to the right. They were solid bright red and the changed colors to white and blue and purple. They then disappeared. Airplanes then came over head and flew to where the orbs were.

October 2014, on the night of the blood moon, I decided to stay up all night to see the moon eclipse. At 3:30am, at the height of the eclipse, I woke my family up to come outside and see it. My daughter and I walked out our back door first onto our back deck with my son and husband following behind. As soon as my daughter and I reached the edge of the deck, we turned back towards our house to look at the moon which was above the house. At the ridgeline of the roof, a bright, white light appeared and flew along the entire roofline of the home. It was an orb, very bright, brilliant white, and kind of had an appearance of a 'sparkler.' The kind I used to play with on the fourth of July as a kid. It was not more than a foot above the roof, and was about the size of a cantalope. It lasted 3 seconds and my daughter and I gasped in amazement having both seen it. My husband and son had not looked up in time, having therefore missed it. We marveled at the moon and described the orb we saw for several minutes, and at that point, my husband went back inside. As the children and I walked off the deck and into the yard, we saw another orb just like the one a few minutes prior. It appeared 20 ft above us, flew for 3 seconds and fizzled out. It too looked like a sparkler and was the same size. All three of us saw this one. There was no noise with either one.

Dear Mr. Davenport, I am writing to report several UFO sightings I have witnessed over the past 4 years. I am 33 years old, and have never seen a UFO before until 2010. I am a mother of two children (10 and 8 years old) and do not use drugs or alcohol. I am a stay at home mom who homeschools. Along with myself, my husband and two children have been co-witnesses to the sightings. One of my neighbors was also present during one of the sightings. In October 2010, I moved to Goldendale, Washington. We had just bought our 5 acre property and were living in a fifth wheel while developing the property for a home. Our property is 15 miles outside of town and is in the woods. We had a small campfire and it was about 8pm at night. My husband and I were standing outside around the campfire and the children were there as well. It was a clear and cold October night sky. My husband and I looked up, and right above the 70ft pine trees about 100 yards away, appeared a bright yellow light about the size of a washing machine and round in shape. It was noiseless and moving towards us fairly slowly. As it got above the trees that were right around us, it shot up straight into the sky as fast as you could blink and disappeared. There was no noise. We both saw this and the encounter lasted about 10-15 seconds. My children did not see this one. The second sighting was in the winter of 2012/2013. I got up in the middle of the night and went into my living room and looked out my windows. Across the road, was a ploughed wheat field about 80 acres in size with pine trees flanking the sides and back of the field. I witnessed another yellow orb hovering above the trees in the back of the wheat field. It hovered for several minutes, and then it shot up in the air and disappeared. I did not know if there was noise, as I was inside. The orb was the size of a basketball from where I was. The next day my neighbor, who lives about 15 acres down the road from me, came over and asked if I had seen the orb the night before at the back of the wheat field. I verified that I had, and his description was the same as mine. The third sighting was the same time, winter of 2012/2013 and I was driving home from town with my two children. It was about 9pm. To the north of town, there is a small mountain range called the Simcoe Mountains. The children and I saw a huge neon green fireball shoot across the top of the mountain range and disappear. The light was very bright and noticeable and lasted about 3 seconds. It started out bright green, then turned a brilliant orange. I do not know if anyone else from town saw this, but there were at this time, several places around the world on the news reporting fireballs in the sky. In the summer of 2013, my children were playing outside in the middle of the afternoon. They came bursting inside the house and said they saw a UFO and wanted me to come and look. I went outside, and to my amazement, there was a metal, cigar or blimp shaped craft hovering above the woods. It was not directly above us, but aways off and hovering about as high as a low flying helicopter. It looked about the size of a washing machine from where we were but cigar or blimp shaped. The sighting lasted 10 minutes and it just dissolved away before our very eyes. It made no noise, and it hovered in place the whole time. The children and I saw this same craft about 3 more times this summer. At the last sighting, my neighbor was over talking with me in my backyard. The children who saw it first, pointed it out to us in the sky. We all stood and watched it for about 10 minutes and it too dissolved and disappeared. The recent sightings were June of 2014. The weather was warm and the children and I decided to camp outside on our trampoline for the night in our backyard. There were clear skies that night. The stars were brilliant as we lay on the trampoline. The children and I witnessed about 100, what appeared to be 'stars,' moving about the skies. They moved sporadically and they would get brighter and then appear to burn out and disappear after moving around the skies for several seconds. There was one after another. They would appear and carry on in the same fashion. We called them 'bobbles'. This went on about an hour and a half, in which we then decided to sleep in the house instead. This was the week before the war in Israel started with Hamas. October 2014, on the night of the blood moon, I decided to stay up all night to see the moon eclipse. At 3:30am, at the height of the eclipse, I woke my family up to come outside and see it. My daughter and I walked out our back door first onto our back deck with my son and husband following behind. As soon as my daughter and I reached the edge of the deck, we turned back towards our house to look at the moon which was above the house.

It too looked like a sparkler and was the same size. All three of us saw this one. There was no noise with either one. Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD

Temperance, MI
I have been a firefighter/paramedic for 15 years. While I was on duty this evening I was in the apparatus bay washing the ambulance when I heard a dog barking, which seemed out of place as I have never heard a dog in this particular area before. At about that same time, the radio station I was listening to went from clearly audible music to static, the digital radios in the ambulance started to "bonk" no signal, and I felt an eerie presence. I stepped around the front of the ambulance and out the overhead door where I saw a large, orange orb type object streaking from a south-southwest direction to the north-northeast at a very high rate of speed. There were no sounds as the object passed and no visible landing or navigation type lights. There were also no other aircraft visible in the area at the time. As this area is very close to both Detroit Metropolitan Airport and Toledo Express, air traffic is very common place and the sounds of various aircraft extremely familiar. As soon as the object was out of sight, the dog stopped barking, the digital ambulance radio returned to normal operation as did the music station I was listening to.

I was watching the Seahawks when my girlfriend came through my back door yelling for me to come outside. When I did she pointed up at the sky and there was 1 large red orb steadily moving across the sky from north to south. It made no noise but it sure made every hair on my body stand up. It took the light about 2 minutes to go entirely across the sky then it mace a sudden sharp right turn and slowly faded out. It was amazing! My girlfriend and I both took videos of it on our phones.

Le 5 octobre 2014 vers 22h30 trois personnes observent la présence d'un objet lumineux rouge feu dans le ciel au-dessus du hameau de Boissezon. L'objet reste stationnaire dans un premier temps puis se déplace en s'élevant et part en direction de Roquebrun. Il est ensuite perdu de vue vers le SE. Deux témoins rapportent leur observation sur dans un procés verbal de gendarmerie. Aucun autre témoignage ne sera rapporté à la gendarmerie ou à la mairie. Compte tenu des éléments objectifs recueillis dans le compte rendu d'enquête (voir document joint), à savoir : - le déplacement selon le vent. - la couleur. - la luminosité. - la forme. - la durée d’observation. Nous pouvons conclure que le PAN observé par les témoins n'est probablement qu’une lanterne céleste, aussi appelée «lanterne thaïlandaise ». Ce cas est à classer en « B » comme observation probable de lanterne thaïlandaise. [GEIPAN classification B — Lanterne thai]

On the evening of October 5th, (I am not sure of the time as we had no clock) my wife and I saw a very bright light flare up, far brighter than any stars, Venus, or Jupiter, out of nowhere, due North of us. It remained quite bright for perhaps 30 seconds, then it dissipated, and disappeared. First thought was a star going nova, but probably not bright enough, or long enough, and just not likely at all. There are no stars in the position we saw this, also. I checked Vandenberg AFBs launch schedule and nothing was scheduled, also the directions of the launches from us is about 70 degrees to the west, so also quite unlikely. My best guess is that it was a meteorite/fireball with a trajectory of zero from our position, making it look absolutely motionless, coming, basically, directly at us. Other possibility might be a satellite in a geosynchronous orbit, which had not yet passed the terminator. We see a large number of strange things up here (mostly military) but I am at a bit of a loss on this one.

Woodland Hills/Topaga, CA
We were driving through Topanga Canyon from the ocean towards Woodland HIlls. We saw three stationary extremely bright lights in the sky, in a large triangular formation Seemed to be the same distance apart. They were cutting through a fairly dense fog. The point of the triangle was at the highest point, and were too high to be in the mountains., but rather appeared to be hovering above the mountains. When we came around a curve, they had disappeared. They seemed to be in the direction of Santa Clarita. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I was out side smokeing looking to the Nw skies when a bright red/orange light I thought to my self that's to bright to be a plane when I walked into the road to get a better look I saw another object just as bright they were traveling side by side at lest 2-4 miles part flying in unison I then quickly got my dad my 2 brothers and my mom the objects were traviling in a SW direction then the left object blinked out and a few sec later the 2nd object blinked out just as the 2nd object blinked out a 3 object came from the same direction as were I saw the 1st 2 objects the 3 rd object traveling twice as fast covered the same distance in just a few sec then blinked out I mind u that these objects were makeing absolutely no sound and moving to fast to be a plane or a helicopter. Scared ((deleted)) me I'm still a little shaky writing this forgive the language I for got to add just prior to the sighting my mom tried to make a phone call when she made the call she got heavy interference on the phone... Not sure if that helps any thought that was just an odd thing

Around 2200 hrs on 10/4/14 several glowing objects were seen floating over the area near Oracle Rd and River Road (Catalina Foothills). The objects appeared to be balloons with some form of lantern inside. The object rose into the sky and most climbed for 3 to 5 minutes before the light faded then went out completely. Some objects did not continue to climb and appeared to land nearby. 5-8 objects were observed over the course of 20 minutes or so. My view was from near Canyon View Road and First Avenue.

Ocean Isle, NC
The wife and I took a weekend getaway to Ocean Isle Beach in North Carolina in the month of October of 2014. We went there to spend time with my mother and sisters who came together to enjoy a much needed get-a-way and they invited us to come join in. My younger sister and wife and I were walking along a popular strand of beach there at the end of the island on the 4th which was a Saturday. It was getting late in the day so we decided to go in order to avoid the rising tide and the darkness. Just as the sun set, we approached the public parking lot. Then we all spotted a peculiar orange orb just appearing there in the night sky and it was very out of place to the natural order of things. As we were watching this “UFO” for several minutes suddenly a barrage of “Chinese Lanterns” were being released over the ocean. We were quite startled at first. We realized this had nothing to do with the actual unknown orange orb situated in the skyline to the left of these “Chinese Lanterns” releases. At the time, we did not know that the party patrons had launched off the “Chinese Lanterns” but my younger sister had proclaimed they were in fact just that as she was familiar with the way they appear when launched off. My older sister who was bringing us our supper from a restaurant trip also came upon the “Chinese Lanterns” display as she was driving up to were we were staying and verified to us it was from the occupants of a beach house two lots down from the beach house we were at. Later that night I was really startled by a bright object that lit up the dark starry skies but both my sisters explained to me that it was just “The Space Station” as they see it all the time. However they all agreed that the first orange orb was what has been a horrific ordeal for years at the Ocean Isle/Southport NC area. They began to tell me of their own multiple encounters of these orbs and other related stories, particularly a sinister revelation from a woman friend along the end of island who tells of huge cigar shaped UFO with smaller craft that appear there on a constant schedule all year round! I was reluctant to report this but after speaking to someone who explained to me the importance of revealing this information, I now relay to you this report and hope it helps shed some light on something going on in this region. I think that this place needs proper investigators to look into these activities. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Bluffdale, UT
A total of five white orbs, lined up in half-circle, were seen above the point of the mountain just about mid-day in clear, blue skies. They would slowly increase distance from one another, and remain still again. They were either moving far away from us, or left/right. They did not move up or down. Continuously moved further apart from one another. We are very close to the NSA building. Hmmm. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
