Glowing orange light moving slowly in northern sky, heading west. Light was moving slower than any other aircraft visible and appeared much closer, no trail or secondary lights visible. After observing for about 50 seconds, the light made a sharp 70-75 degree turn, continued north northwest for about 25 seconds, then the orange light flicked out, revealing two side by side bright white lights, stood stationary for about 15 seconds, then completely disappeared.

I notice these orange ball shape things in the sky about 9PM at night. there were six of them a row. Travelling from east to west extremely slow. They were close together . A medical helicopter flew under them travelling north to south and an airplane flew behind them from south to north. They travelled so far across the sky and one at a time started to go straight up and disapeared in the sky. It lasted about ten to twenty minutes. The seventh one showed up some distance behind the six. At about 9:30PM only one showed up doing the same as the rest. At 9:45PM another did the same. They were all orange in color and round like balls. It was the slowness of there movement that caught our sight.

Saw many circular white objects floating in the sky. As many as 14. Seemed to move with the air current, but would also move slowly in different directions.

Chehalis (near; on I-5 south), WA
Driving home last night on I-5 south out around Chehalis around 2:30 AM. A beautiful brilliant blue streak raced across the sky. Definitely don't think it was aliens or anything like that. But it was an absolutely beautiful flash of blue unlike anything I've ever seen before. The sighting lasted a matter of seconds like a shooting star before being gone. One of the neatest things I've ever seen in the sky.

I live in independence and was looking west towards KC which this bright star light sphere seemed to be South of KC. It was brighter than all the stars showing and even brighter than Venus which was to the lower right. It seemed to have a beam of light shooting out of it like a rotating light house which slowly came down as it was turning. As the beam of light rotated around and slowly came down to my angle it was slowing in rotation and seemed to stop... pointing at me as if it knew i was looking at it. It was very far away so i wasn't too concerned. I had my dogs with me and they started acting excited and it was time to go anyways. I got home and went in looking through the window and it seemed to have changed position. I then got onto my computer and looked up an astronomy program and found that it could have been the star Aldebaran which sort of made me feel better but I've never seen a star do this. I recall something from my childhood which ! makes me feel leery of these type of strange occurrences.

At 10:56 pm on April 10, 2015, my friend and I observed something in the sky like we have never seen before. We were pulling into his alley way to his house which sits in front of a huge greenbelt with a park. We both saw a very bright light in the sky (almost fire-like) N 33 degrees 7’4.336’ W -96 degrees 51’24.972. There was nothing to obstruct our view. As we continued to monitor this large light in the sky that was not moving for the past 5 minutes or so, we proceeded to take a 23 second video and pictures. We then put the car in park and decided to get out and try and see what was going on. At that time, the light finally started moving in the Southeast direction and then vanished.

Me and my friends were out spotting satellites and star gazing and all the sudden we saw a bright orange object that we assumed was a satellite. We watched it and it was moving super slow then it would stop for a couple of seconds and then resume flying and it would repeat that. After watching it for a couple of minutes we knew it wasnt a satellite. It also changed directions twice. We tracked it for 10 minutes until it flew out of sight.

After I made the turn on Jefferson Ave, I immediately saw the UFO, it was down the road a bit where the road has a curve. I noticed it was a glowing orange/red object hovering in midair. I knew something was off about it as soon as I saw it. I awoke my friend and alerted him to look at it. He immediately asked me what the hell is that? At first I tried to make sense of it thinking it was a car light or something. I immediately slowed down when I saw it to not startle whatever it was. We both realized it was something we've never seen before. We approached the object slowly in a car and once we got about 50 yards of it, it suddenly starting ascending into the sky but it did not fly in a vertical fashion, it flew upwards and had a slight wobble to the object. It disappeared a few seconds later after ascension.

Newark, OH
At 8:45 pm, my wife and I saw a bright red circular object in the WSW horizon. At first we thought it was a plane. It appeared to be moving in our direction, but it stopped and reversed its direction and arrived back to its original spot. The object then made all sorts of circular moments and weird angled movements. Next, it would rise up and then down again hiding in the tree line. It did this movement a couple of times before disappearing. I would guess it was maybe a couple miles from our location. Our location is between state route 79 north and reform road. This is the third time we have seen strange things in our night skies that we could not explain. If it wasn't for the fact we go outside to smoke cigarettes we would not have witnessed any of the events.

Strange round blue light shot upward instead of downward to upward. It shot up super fast and at first I thought it was a meteor until it suddenly moved in a bizzare pattern and slowed down as I was pointing at it trying to figure out what it was. Then it suddenly slowed down a little, and went horizontal as it flew over head above my house, it moved extremely fast when it first shot across the sky, way too fast to be a plain or drone. Than it slowed down some, and flew quietly above head and I couldn't see it past the big oak tree after it passed that. I went back out there hoping to see it again, nothing, but I did see a meteor typical meteor, nothing special there. Whatever I saw is gone. It was just one big blue light circle. I really wish it would come back. I did not see multiple lights on it or anything. Just one big blue light and round in shape. The first one I know was NOT a meteor, and I'm certain you will be getting more reports about this. I'd be surprised if you didn't.

The object was first thought as a plane but it was stationary and very bright. My friend thought it was the sun while witnessing it on a plane. It was a bright yellowish orange in the middle and very faintly there were smaller blinking lights on the side, from my view from the ground it appeared blueish. Then when I went under an over pass the object disappeared, and my friend also said it suddenly vanished.

Rancho Mirage, CA
We saw three orange/red circular objects flying across the sky from west to east. They flew in a chevron formation; each faded out in turn -- the one furthest north fading first. Curiously after they faded away, one seemed to reappear back towards the west. They were clearly visible. When the first faded it seemed to fly away from its low trajectory further into space, but I am not certain this was the case. Certainly while they were visible they were easily viewed and appeared to track across the sky at a leisurely pace.

Ellsworth, ME
It was circular and had blue and subtle red lights blinking and looked like it had a vague white light coming from the bottom not very noticeable.. I watched this for a half an hour realizing it was not moving there was not way it could be a plane, planes dont just stay in one spot. I took video of it also..i looked down to find my phone charger when i looked back up it was gone.

Then saw 2 fire red circular objects, about 300 yards apart in the sky moving very slowly, drifting, the front one then started to descend toward the water. They both moved slowly, with no noise, in front of me over the Ocean from left to right or from North to South. I lost sight of them when they passed behind a hi rise to my South. which blocked my view. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

I saw one circle suddenly appear and moved slowly and faded. Then a few minutes went by and I saw it again. This time there were two, and they were real slow and then faded.

Looking SOUTHEAST towards the moon, I noticed a few stars in the sky. A bright circular object, similar to a star, was stationary in the sky. As I continued looking at it, the object started moving towards the moon, accelerating from right to left. The bright circular object went from stationary to full speed in a short amount of time. I took a video from my phone.

I was traveling on I-78 at approximately 3:50am by exit 24, when for whatever reason I decided to look up at the sky. Towards the right of the highway I noticed what I thought was a star (because it was momentarily stationary) until it streaked across the sky and disappeared. I definitely know for act that it was not a shooting star because I have seen them before and this did not resemble a shooting star. It was undoubtedly a UFO because the distance in which it streaked and disappeared was so short.

i pulled over,but could not get out for there was some cars going down the road. However, the redness dissapated gradually, leaving the object just black,descending at a normal speed...not like a fast crash landing. I have never seen anything like this before. The area it was going down was toward Jefferson Hills in southwestern pa.

Heading south on Hwy 85 just after the Hwy 123 junction. On the south side of the road, above the treeline. A large circular craft was hovering above the trees and then quickly faded into the fog. It was approximately 1/2 mile away and approx. 12-15 feet across. Dark bluish/gray in color. Once I drove past the fog, I looked back only to find that it was gone.

Heard loud noise, thought helicopter overhead. Looked out to see a row of lights, changing in color, and blinking, in the sky. It looked to be moving from side to side, then appeared to go up and down. Suddenly it seemed to be going higher in the sky, when two separate lights approached it. Then, they too began to rise higher in the sky until out of sight. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
