Los Angeles, CA
All this time has passed.. decided to report the incident. I had a barbecue in the backyard. Looked up and I saw 2 orbs way up high looked like fireballs dancing around brought it to attention to my sister and her best friend. I grabbed my phone and took a video. Excuse all the cursing in the video as we were shocked. Maybe you can make sense of it.. My friend who lives in the same area saw 4 of them a short time earlier. He posted it on Facebook describing the incident. I have a copy of the post

Hatboro, PA
We were sitting by our pool trying to watch fireworks but they really didnt happen. Observed in the near sky what appeared to be a fireball followed by another fireball then another fireball. Then when my wife pointed it out i was sure it was unusual. I started recording this on my cell phone.we noticed that there was zero sound or vibrations from the objects. They seemed to be flying from the left to the right in what appeared to be a planned route. I later super slow motioned frame shot from the video and produced a still images to what i truly believe was not from this world. They appeared to be circular shape objects. One still appears to have some sort of windows or something

Kissimmee, FL
2 to 4 in formation silently coming from the south slowly and silently and turning to the east after a few miles. There would be 2 than 3 then four following each other about a quarter mile or less behind each other and the groups were much closer to each other. They were a glowing orange/red. Each group vanished behind clouds as they headed east or they just blanked out. They appeared to be watching the fire works that private people were shooting off.

Crestview, FL
My wife and I were walking our neighborhood watching fireworks. Just after dark I noticed 2 flickering firey globes moving in an unusual pattern, just over our local airport. My wife thought they were firework burnoff pieces until 4 more appeared and we realized they had other lights ,and were all the same shape. They were moving about the speed of a helicopter, and their light was bright enough to cast a glow. I would guess they would have been 4 times the size of a large truck. They appeared to become translucent before becoming completely invisible. Right after they disappeared, a sharp noise made both of us duck. The noise pierced our ears about 3 or 4 more times. The sound was almost painful.

Driving home, stopped at a stop sign and noticed a bright orange light hovering in the sky. The light hovered for about 2 minutes in the same slot and then very slowly began to move below the tree line.

4 yellowish orange like orbs in sync light up then fade away like fire going out. A bit later a couple more. Few mins later one lit up then another, then another we counted a row of 6. Each time we saw any, it was in different areas over N Myrtle Beach. After last ones seen, there were star color white fast blinking lights synchronized moving around erratically and very fastly making their way across sky. Seen by a total of 6 people.

Putney, VT
Red light near eastern horizon. Not blinking. Brighter than a planet or typical airplane. Seemed to rise slightly over the course of a minute, but I could have imagined it. Got somewhat dimmer about twenty seconds after being noticed, then returned to original brightness, then after another ten seconds faded out over 1-2 seconds. I looked through binoculars, and it was in focus at the maximum focal length, implying to me that it was at least farther than a few hundred feet away.

Inverness, FL
To whom it may concern: Saturday, June 13th about 11 pm Inverness, Florida. My wife and I were sitting by the pool when she seen something unusual and asked me if I seen it. I turned and there was a large fireball moving slowly from the north and turning west. It appeared to be about 500 feet above the trees and was completely silent. We went inside and told our 15 year old daughter Sierra, (aka Digit), and our 50 year old son, Tony what we had seen. My wife (Amanda) and daughter went back outside, Tony wanted me to show him where we had seen it so we went outside also. It had been about ten minutes since we first seen the Fireball when it appeared again. Sierra took a picture with her phone and Tony and I started videoing with our phones. It came from the north as before and again turned and went west. I posted the picture and video on my Facebook page as did Tony, the fireball was much bigger than it appeared in the video. I’m not at all sure what we saw, but I know what it wasn’t… It was not phosphorus, a weather balloon, gas, fireworks, helicopter, or SpaceX. After telling a few friends I now understand why some people are reluctant to mention it. Had I seen the picture and video we posted I would have thought it to be fake. This statement is true and witnessed by the four of us. PLEASE TEXT BEFORE YOU CALL SO I DO NOT BLOCK YOUR NUMBER

Big fireball shaped object. It was bright blue and looked as if it was descending. Saw it for about a minute.

Mount Hope, WV
I was smoking my routine cigarette when I happened to look at the sky to see a fireball or some type of craft descending from the sky. It was obviously falling or descending at high speed because I could see a trail of what I assume was fire behind it. I seen many different colors from the flame behind it such as blue, white, and faint pink. It all happened so quickly so so couldn’t photograph it but I did document it in my journal and even drew a picture of it from memory when I came back inside. I hollered at my girlfriend to come look but unfortunately she wasn’t fast enough to catch it.

Cincinnati, OH
There was 1 object. The object was bright red/orange. It was very far away but moving very fast. The object appeared to be falling. I do not think it could’ve been a balloon or a flaming object of some sort that the average person could’ve put in the sky to make it appear to be a UFO. The object was falling far too quickly but took too long to fall for that to be the case. My positioning was about a half mile southwest of the middle of the city. I was personally facing just east of south. About 5 o’clock (if 6 o’clock is south and I’m at the center of the clock). I stared at the object for a few minutes from my deck after someone pointed it out. I then pulled out my phone and took a video. The object appeared to me to be on fire as it seemed to flicker. It was potentially falling at a fast rate very far out. I have seen meteor showers, Venus, and once I believe a falling satellite. I do not think what I saw was any of these three things. I searched online to see if anyone else saw this and I made a post about it to my local subreddit. No one had any input or news on what it could’ve been.

Bright light in sky, Size of venus, originally thought it was a star until it started moving across the sky was West to east towards the full moon, the light suddenly just disappeared. Not a satellite, it was too large & it was moving too slowly. Approx. 1-2 Miles up in the air (?)

De Pere, WI
As I walked along the city street sidewalks at 9:38 pm I noticed a bright orange orb in the sky. As I observed for a few moments, I realized it was moving object with an unusual glow traveling across the night sky. I was curious enough to take out my phone and record almost immediately. As I record and observe the orb, it glides across the skyline above the city for 2 minutes and 20 seconds. Can it be a satellite?

As we looked in the sky we saw a huge fire ball that appeared be half a size of the moon, the object was moving so fast that we couldn't tell if was going towards us or away, the object than zypped off and disappeared. As a person who lives in the mountains I have never seen anything like that in my life. #BlackDogFamily

Independence, KS
The craft popped up out of nowhere, it looked close to the ground but that could have been because of my perspective. It was at first a white circle, and then it fell, kind of like a shooting star. It then changed to purple, white, and then eventually black, with a green aura. It then disappeared.

London, LONDON B · United Kingdom
I heard a loud crash while inside my home late at night. I checked my security camera and saw a streak of light hit something in the gardens behind my home then bounce twice before shooting back up at an upward angle. I'm assuming that it was a meteorite but thought it was odd that it would bounce back up. The camera from the attached video is facing southeast from 51.49916° N, 0.32447° W. The flash can be seen at the 8 second mark.

San Jacinto, CA
It was around 10 PM on May 26th, I was laying in bed using my computer when a bright yellow-orangish light in my peripheral vision got my attention. I walked to the window and opened my blinds to get a better view assuming it was a helicopter because the light was stationary in the sky. I found it odd that there were no blinking aircraft lights, just a ball of bright light so I opened my window and there was no sound at all. Then it started to go higher and higher and it got dimmer from my perspective until it faded out into nothing in about 45 seconds to a minute after I first saw it. Then another one moved into view about 30 seconds later moving horizontally in the sky and it also climbed out of view like the first. I told my family and three of us watched as a third one appeared. I got my phone and attempted to record a video but I just took a picture of one of them because I hit the wrong button. After the last one climbed out of view I waited a few minu! tes and there were no more lights. I saw at least three separate objects and there was possibly a fourth because I left to go call my family and I lost track. All of this lasted about 5 to 7 minutes from the time I saw the first one until the last one disappeared. I know it wasn’t flares because flares don’t move horizontally in the sky and it wasn’t a drone because drones don’t fly that high in the sky. I tried to research to see if there were any rocket tests or anything like that in my area but I couldn’t find anything online. I’m just an average person, I’m not into conspiracy theories or anything like that so I’m not trying to imply anything like it was aliens but it was definitely unexplainable.

Walking home I looked to the sky to see what I thought was a broken streetlight blasting orange light but found it was too high in the sky. It was levitating slightly with an blurring aura around itself. When I walked towards it, it began very slowly moving upwards, Shrinking with its distance until it was hidden by a layer of clouds

Lake Keowee, SC
While sitting in our boat night fishing with 6 year old grand daughter we saw a bright red light high in the sky and it come from nowhere. I started to film with my iPhone so I couldn’t zoom in real good. I decided to take a photo and when I did it vanished. When looking at photo I decided to hold down photo and view live action. While taking the pic we saw that it didn’t just vanish but flew off at a high speed and then it was gone. The sky was very clear last night with no clouds and being on the Lake there were no lights around. The bright red Solid object was moving at a good speed. There were no blinking lights or anything. The images I captured were no great but the Live Photo did show it vanish quickly.
