My boyfriend and I, alongside 2 friends of ours, saw 3 red circles floating in the night sky at around 23:00. They made their way from the East to West within 10 seconds. We didn't hear any noise, nor could we clearly distinguish what it was that we had just seen. Moreover, they were in a straight line, at an approximate equal distance from one another; as though they were following a similar straight alignment/path.

I was outside on my front porch smoking. A bright star that looked to be changing color from white to red caught my eye. As I lifted my eyes to look directly at it, a bright white ball of light came out of nowhere and shot down toward toward the ground. It didn't go straight down, rather it kind of arched down. Then before it could hit the ground, or at least right before I'd have lost view of it due to houses, the light just shut off. I got scared and ran into the house. So I don't know if it reappeared or not. I'm writing this report just minutes after this happened. I went straight to the Internet to see if anyone else reported seeing this and to see what a meteor falling looks like. This was not a meteor. I found this website while looking up "bright white light falling from sky" and added my area in the search field. Thank you for this website, I'm grateful I'm able to talk about this to someone without feeling or being called crazy.

Eugene, OR
At 11:07pm, I and one other person saw a bright glowing circle light yellow with a red center in the northwest sky in west Eugene. It got brighter and then would dim repeatedly. We checked online to see if it was a large star or perhaps a planet. It disappeared about twenty minutes after we noticed it.

Surprise, AZ
While standing in my front door entryway walkway, I was looking towards the Southern night sky. Noticed an object that appeared to be much different than the stars and planets. I continued to watch this object as it traveled true North. Object was Amber in color. I immediately entered my home in attempt to get my wife to witness this same object. As I returned to my previous location, I was able to locate this object in the same vicinity in the sky. Object had appeared to have taken a 90 degree turn toward the East. I was fixated on this object as it began to slowly fade away and disappear moments later.

Kelseyville, CA
The aircraft made a second turn leaving com trails again before Coming close to the craft. I used 10x50 binoculars to view the craft and viewed a round type disk white and reflective. The craft also had a large hole in the middle that was darker than the blue sky. ' The craft didn't move at all and just disappeared. I took a picture with my iPhone 4 Wich I have uploaded to you. ((sic. YouTube??)) We have looked at the photo provided by the witness, and the one object we see appears to us to be a short contrail behind a high-altitude aircraft. PD

We were sitting by the water and I looked at the tree line. The was a bright light. Thought it was a light reflecting off of an airplane so I told my friend to look. The light reflected off of a see-through circular object and then it completely disappeared. It was a perfectly clear day, no clouds. There was no airplane in the area we saw the light. The object was hovering above the tree line, circular and fairly large. We could only see light reflecting, other than that it looked like the sky. We stayed in the area longer hoping to see it again but we never did.

Seattle, WA
On April 19th, 2015, I was outside on my deck located in West Seattle (a neighborhood just Southwest ) of the main downtown core of Seattle, WA, with an approx. 240 degree view from N-NW to S-SW with Boeing Field (KBFI ) and Seatac Intl airport ( KSEA ) flight lines in view at all times of the day and night. At approx 11:10 pm PST I witnessed a twin propeller Alaska airlines flight (I know the airplane and carrier from experience and flight paths) depart Seatac Intl. airport and fly due north before making a westward turn towards my location at the above address. When the airplane was almost directly overhead (approx 85-87 degrees), I witnessed what appeared to be a very bright red circular object/orb appear off the right wing of the plane. This bright red object followed the plane before I ran to the sliding door on our deck and called for my girlfriend to come witness this object and as she came outside, the object disappeared but during the time I witnessed the object it paralleled the airplane off the right wing in perfect alignment with the airplane in a westward direction before disappearing. My girlfriend and I were on the deck and as I am showing as well as describing what I saw to her, a very bright streak appeared directly overhead moving West to East in what I approximate to be the very same path the object I initially saw take with the airplane. This streak was very sudden and abrupt and travelling at extreme speed (I did NOT see an object with this "streak" whatever it was ) but found it to be coincidental considering what I had just witnessed.

Columbia, MO
As I was taking a picture, I noticed a yellow circular shape moving through the trees. I was taking a panoramic picture as it was moving and then it abruptly stopped, seemingly to hover in the trees. I continued to take the panoramic picture, and as I was getting ready to stop the photo, I saw through my screen display, the object shoot through the trees, and then shooting into the sky. I photographed the circular object hovering in the trees, as well as it entering the clouds in one panoramic photo. z object did not leave any type of vapor trail that I could see, it moved so fast that I was able to catch it in one short panoramic photo. Both as it hovered, as well as it in the clouds. The object had tree branches in front of it, and it blocked seeing tree branches behind it. Also, the object is also seen with part of the cloud in front of it, and it's blotting out the dark clouds behind it. I cannot really determine the size of the object, may be six to eight feet in diameter. It was A bright yellow or white in color, it seemed like it was flashing. I tried to duplicate the same picture, but there were no objects in following pictures taken. This helped me conclude that this was not a dirty lens on my camera or a raindrop. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) As an ex professional photographer, I know that it was not a camera flare, especially with a non smart phone and in a car with tinted windows. The object was on the left side of the road hovering in a rainbow then went over the road to the rain cloud and that's when I got the picture of it. ((END ADDENDUM))

1 red ball of light was about 300-400 feet off the ground, moving north to south. It split into 2 red ball of light and continued to move south. They picked up speed and disappeared. The balls were approximately 15-20 ft round. Silent and accelerated quickly. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

At first I thought it was a falling star but it went directly horizontal across the sky. I've checked news reports to see if anyone else saw it, but haven't seen any other reports.. I've timed all other aircraft's in the sky and nothing comes close to what I saw. I say about 12 seconds because after watching for about 3 seconds, I started counting- because the rate of speed was phenomenal. It did not have a tail, it was a yellowish round ball that moved from one side of the horizon to the other but seemed to disappear when it got over open water. I'm hoping someone else saw it and will come forward. I travel for my job and spend a lot of time on the road and this is the first time I cannot decipher what I witnessed. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Saw a bright orange glow appear to the east, just over the Miramar Airfield. It was completely stationary, then it began to flicker and slowly lose altitude. It hovered almost like a drone, but when it glowed orange almost as if it lost control and descended. Then it began to tumble as if it was on fire.

Newport, ME
We were riding on a tractor headed to were another pasture is opened up. When we got passed the treed line I saw a star like light just hovering and pulsating. I said to W2, "That's odd, it's pulsating." Then in stopped. I mentioned that it stopped, then it started again. Then it seriously was like we jumped it. It seemed as if it had picked us up on rader and it was busted. It then went to my right and sort of toward two o'clock. Then it swooped back toward it's starting point. As it did, it seemed to spin around and this intense white white white light shines, right into my eyes, and W2's. But, it doesn't light up around us or the surrounding sky, like a lighthouse would. As quick as it shined it kept spinning to it's previous pulsating light. It came in circular form in the object. Like on a belt; from it's left rear, around the front of it, so bright, then to the right and behind. But only once. It was like, for the moment the light was right on, it was the only focus. W2 said, "It was like a photographer, five feet in front of you. And that's about how long it was there, just a flash." It then kept going to the left at a stable speed, keeping a line, until it was gone. So W2 and I finally come back to the house and are talking about it outside when W3 comes down. We start telling him about it, and this light starts coming back across the sky, left to right. W2 and W3 saw it turn and head toward the two o'clock direction where it was going to go when we first came upon it. I saw it disaper into the trees. It wasn't too far off. A jet plane flew over around the same time and it seemed further away than this thing. It's movements, no sign of jet fuel, no sound. Intense bright light with no rays... My heart is a pounding. It was too dark for my phone to catch anything.

04/12/15 I was driving home at 10:30pm tonight with my girlfriend in the car. Something caught my eye in the sky in front of me. I looked up and saw an orange, glowing, ball moving slowly. It then picked up speed instantly. It shot across the sky so fast it was incredible. I yelled out ''look at the shooting star". My girlfriend caught the end of it before it went below the horizon. She said "Wow, that was so fast. As I was saying shooting star I started thinking I've never seen a shooting star that didn't have a tail. Also I've never seen a glowing orange shooting star. I've seen many shooting stars and they always had a long tail, were white or blue, and got bright then dim and died out. This thing maintained its orange brightness, had no trail behind it at all, and only disapeared because it went beyond our field of vision. It was also large compared to stars. Hard to describe the size, best I can do right now is to say, If you hold a standard q-tip at arms length and look at it head on. It went what looked like North/ Northeast toward Susquehanna county PA or Upstate New York. Once again, hard to judge. As far as I know it could have came down not too far away after It went behind the trees and mountains. Witness provides no contact information. PD
