I was outside with my wife when I looked up at a clear blue sky I noticed 3 white spheres in a 170 degree angle a few miles apart. The altitude was above planes but it looked like they were in our atmosphere. They gradually floated around the sky for several hours. When I went outside later to see if they're were there I saw two more. The two were very spaced out and the other three were still together. I noticed throughout the time they would get smaller and bigger probably changing altitutdes. Only one remained the last 30 mins the rest vanished

orange glowing light slowly moving across sky with a plane quickly moving toward it. Then the plane slowed down to purse it further.

Last fall, as I was driving home northward on the 285, on a fairly steep upgrade, I saw what looked like a large silvery beach ball rolling down the center line of the road. I was going 55 mph on cruise control as I always do returning home to conserve fuel. I estimated the “beach ball” to be 6 to 7 feet in diameter and moving at 30 to 40 mph in my direction. It appeared to be rolling, but not bouncing – as if it were gyro controlled holding exactly to the center line of the highway. There were no other cars on the road and I was alone. I pulled a bit to the right as I passed it and the air from my car did not disturb its path. As I reached the crest of the hill I could see it beginning to follow the curve in the highway about 1/3 of a mile behind me. It made no sound and I don't recall seeing the reflection of my white car on it as it passed. It was in the early afternoon in bright sunlight. Sorry this is such a late report but I have been reluctant to file for fear of being thought absurd. I have a degree in ((deleted--arts and sciences degree)) from UC Riverside and post grad in the ((deleted--graduate degree in arts & sciences)) at the same school and Colorado University. Witness indicates that the date is approximate. PD

Cape Girardeau, MO
Object a bit larger than stars, and through binoculars appears to have white, green and red flashing qualities. Erratic movement in all directions, but does not stray far from an area about the size of a small orange at arms length. Northeast sky. Object has been viewed for 5 consequtive nights, always after 10:00 p.m. Doesn't seem to be a tethered devise, but does seem a bit drone-like, but movements are very limited.

On 2nd floor balcony, cool night, saw bright off white sphere surround with flashing red and some green around it (like a distance star shining), the size of a basketball from where I was standing, about 0.5 miles distance, mountain range in the background, houses, this looked like it was over one of the golf resorts. It shot straight up in the sky within the valley, stopped around the top of the mountain range for a moment, slowing descended, stopped half way down, slowly descended again and began to swirl slowly around the top of some houses then I lost sight. Twice it did this routine within about 10 minutes, I can tell the way it moved it was definitely a ufo. I actually called the resort and there wasn't any "fireworks" last night she said, told her what I saw and can tell she didn't believe are care about it. I know I couldn't have been the only person who saw this, hope someone else here did. Thanks!

My wife and I saw a sphere in the sky approx 25000 ft (About normal commercial aircraft traffic alt.) I had been watching a few jets in the sky, when I asked my wife if she was seeing what I saw. It was a silver Sphere. No jet stream as the other jets were leaving. No sign of lights, wings or fuselage. It seemed to just sit for a few seconds and then disappear straight up into the sky.

Large spherical object moving westward changing colors and patterns of lights on it. Video is zoomed 16x on my Nikon camera. We spoke briefly via telephone with the witness, and he confirms that the date is correct, but he corrects the time, to reflect a sighting that occurred 50 minutes past midnight. We have corrected the time above. PD

First seen 5 globes of orangish lights, ballon like floating.. A couple got very close to one another. They seemed to be floating across the sky in a single file pathway. Moving west to east. A few mins after the first 5 globes I seen 3 more appeared and floated in the same flight path as the others. Objects from my view were approx. an inch circumference. They were different distances apart from one another. And seemed to travel until I could no longer see them. They seemed to almost flicker with light. No sound at all was heard.

I saw other commercial aircraft in the distance and this red orb was faster than the commercial planes. It did not change its flight pattern. To my observation it looked like it had a escort.

My son was out on the back deck when he called me out to see something strange in the sky. What we saw was 6 orange lights in the northern part of the sky. These objects moved slowly toward the east. As we observed them a 7th light appeared from the south moving north an hovering just above us. This light changed color from reds to orange, and both at once. It appeared to be watching the other lights. As the other lights moved eastward and became obscured by a tree line, the 7th seemed to slowly fade out. This hovering light was different from the rest it was more like an oval then a sphere. All said and done we witnessed this event for 4-5 min. Bazzar!

2 orange orbs appeared to rise from the ocean and slowly move through the sky. A third orb then did the same. As the third was rising, the original two zoomed away and just looked like stars in the distance. The third orb then slowly moved out of sight.

On Sept.27th at approximately 5:45 A.M. (+/- 2 minutes) while viewing the south east skies (primarily more to the east vs. south) I noticed an orange orb under the star Regulus. It appeared to travel straight down from Regulus to almost my viewing horizon and then travel south or distally away from my vantage point. The orange orb continued on this path until finally dipping below my horizon and out of sight. I was able to apply both my 4x30 and 10x50 binoculars to the object. This did not reveal any detail to enhance my description of the orb. I played my Starry Night software and did not notice any satellites traveling in this pattern during this time period. My background is I am a beginner star watcher with over a year sky watching experience. I own a 4 x 30 and 10 x 50 range binoculars and a 100mm Orion tabletop telescope with the ability of 80x magnification at this time.

My mother, father, brother and I were on the way home from eating dinner out. My mom said "hey whats that glow up there in the sky?" We all looked up to about a 45 degree angle (right above the horizon) and noticed a huge glowing orb in the sky. We kept looking at it and it continued to drop slowly in altitude. We then proceeded to pull over to observe it from a stationary position since we were in the car but the object seemed to just vanish.

Red light or orb slowly moving across Indianapolis sky at 22:00. At first I thought maybe it was a helicopter; however, the light was not consistent with any plane or heli i have ever seen. There was absolutely no noise at all and I followed it for a few minutes until it disappeared. Moved from north west to south direction. It was gone in a blink of the eye.

I was working at a haunt outside with other co-workers. It was a cool and clear night. I was star gazing.Caught a shooting star! About 8:25pm ,looking towards the west . I notice a very bright red light! It got closer, than notice the second red light than a third but not that bright. When all three was close enough . I see that the third object was in fact an airplane with its strobe lights flickering and the red and green lights blinking on and off. But the first two objects were very bright red,no strobe lights or the red and green lights on wings, no sounds neither ! When I started to say to my co-worker what I'm seeing, she started to point out the red objects to me! We stared at it ,trying to figure out what it is ! No sounds from it! Yet ! We see the plane miles behind it ! We can see the different from the object to the plane. There were lots of traffic of planes between Philadelphia and McGuire AFB.The red lights were heading toward McGuire area ! .I was raised in the military .Lived next to McGuire and Fort Dix! Seen all kinds of planes flying day or night and even at times knowing what sounds coming from what planes.I need to say and report this sighting ! Lots of my co-workers saw as a did! One co-worker trying explain that it was a chinese lanterns ! Not ! I know the different ! Lanterns are not that bright nor do they move as fast as a plane .As I stated that the third object was a plane miles behind the bright red light ! Never caught up with the red lights! Than both lights faded not turned off but faded !

I was walking my dog in the driveway around 8:15pm in the evening, when a round orange light caught my eye in the southeastern sky. I stopped to look, as I could see it farther away, not directly overhead, and it seemed about 1/2 the way between the horizon and the top of the sky. Then I saw 2 other round lights moving ahead of this one, toward the southern sky. All 3 were coming higher up from the northeast direction and down toward the south. There was no sound or noise coming from them. The movement was not fast like a meteor or shooting star, it was more like 1/2 the speed of a low-lying propellor plane, the speed was steady with no stopping that I could see. I knew it was not an airplane, since a local airport is several miles away, and I am used to seeing small planes flying low, and am familiar with the lights on such planes seen at night. And the orange light did not dissipate, it seemed to keep its form. Actually, these 3 orange lights were not f! lat, they seemed to have a dense or 3-dimentional form.

Around 8:15 pm this evening I was walking my dog in my driveway when a round orange light caught my eye in the northeastern sky. I stopped to look and saw 2 more of the same in the sky further to the south through some of my trees, but farther away than the trees. They were all traveling from northeast to south in the sky, from where I was looking. It seemed they were 1/2 way between the horizon and the top of the sky. The speed was not fast like a meteor or shooting star, but more like 1/2 the speed of a small propellor plane flying low. I live a few miles from a local airport and am familiar with low flying planes at night and their lights -- what I saw was not that. The orange lights looked to be about the size of 1/2 of a plane. There was no noise or sound emanating from them. They seemed to have a denseness or 3-dimensional form to them, with one side a bit irregularly shaped. They kept moving steadily without stopping, without speeding up/slowing dow! n. It is a clear night with stars much further up in the sky than the orange-lighted objects I saw.

At approximately 11:00 am, I looked up at the sky to view the contrail patterns made by several jets flying overhead. I took a picture and then noticed a light blue sphere that was moving in a zig zag pattern through the contrails from left to right. At times, it was emitting a purple crescent-shaped haze. I took several pictures of it and after approximately 15 minutes, it disappeared behind one of the contrails and was no longer seen.

Mimbres, NM
Every night for the last two weeks we have had some very strange lights in the sky. They look somewhat like stars, but they were twinkling waaaaay too brightly. I walked out of my house in Mimbres New Mexico around 830pm on the night of the 25th of September. We had just had a good rain and the clouds had cleared off. I looked up and saw at first 5 extremely bright and twinkling stars. As my eyes adjusted I noticed there were more like 30 or 40 of these lights strewn about all the way from the east side of my house through the south and to the east. I went inside and got my wife to make sure I wasn’t just seeing things and I also grabbed a pair of Leupold 10x40 binoculars. I looked at the closest “star” with the binos and saw that there was no way these things were stars. They have extremely bright red, green, white, and blue lights that orbit around them at very high rate of speed. The orbital pattern of the lights looks like the way an atom is portrayed. The lights seem to rotate around the bright light at different angles, giving it the appearance that they “twinkling” like stars but they are much too bright and the twinkling is much too obvious to be stars. I didn’t tell anyone because I was trying to rationalize this in my head. On the following Saturday one of my neighbors approached and asked if we had seen the lights. We confirmed the sightings to him. We then proceeded to do a “group watch” of these lights over the next few nights. Note that I took the position of the formation that was the most obvious in the sky on the first night so that I could rule out any type of atmospheric phenomena. The objects were not in the same place the next night at the same time. They had moved to completely different locations but were still there. They are around every night but there are fewer each night. We peaked around 50 objects. They stay stationary wherever they are posted as you can actually watch the big dipper move past them. They are NOT celestial objects. I do not have any type of camera equipment that would capture them on a pic or video unfortunately. High-altitude balloon. PD
