Dana Point, CA
At approximately 10:15pm on August 23, 2014, my husband and I were docking our sailboat in Dana Point Harbor; our boat slips faces west towards the ocean. A friend of ours walked up and we were chatting for a bit and then he noticed something in the sky and pointed upward (west direction) and asked: "What is that?" We immediately looked up and saw approximately 25-30 orbs glowing white/orange orbs flying south along the coast. They were not planes or Chinese lanterns! Some of the orbs were darting around (going left and right), but still heading south. Then suddenly, one orb darted up towards the sky. It looked like a shooting star, but it was backwards, since it shot up towards the starts. Seconds later a second orb shot out in the same direction. The remaining orbs continued south and then split into two directions and alleviated into the sky so high they looked like stars in the distance. A few seconds later, a plane flew by. It was at the exact same elevation as the orbs originally were. We were so flabbergasted and my husband immediately started shouting out to other boaters if they saw what we did. My husband found another witness who was also astonished and could not account for what had transpired. My husband asked for his name and number, but he refused.

Emerald Isle, NC
It seemed every five minutes we saw a large red orb moving over the ocean from left to right over Emerald Isle Beach, then just disappeared. I took high def video of at least two of these orbs.

Palm City, FL
I was lying on my float in the pool looking up at the clouds thinking why don't we see the orbs during the day. Okay so many people will say I'm seeing things that aren't there, but this is what I saw. At first I thought it was a white feather drifting down in my yard so I just watched it drifting down and as i focused on it i could see a bubble around it. What i saw as the feather was about 2 inches long and the bubble around it was the size of a baseball. While I was thinking it was a feather was when it was coming down then it started going horizontal that's when I saw the bubble as soon as I started focusing on the bubble it shot away and i lost sight of it.

Morton, TX
We noticed 2 distinctive vapor like trails that were traveling in a large circular pattern over a large area in the western sky. The two eventually converged and a large smoke plume of a dark nature appeared. the larger object seem to catch fire and proceed directly towards earth as the smaller one sped up faster than any aircraft i know of and vanished. All was caught on camera and shows great detail.

Duxbury, MA
On August 20, 2014, at approximately 10:05 PM, in Duxbury MA, I, as well as several others witnessed a strange object glowing a brilliant orange in the sky just above the tree line. Immediately we thought it to be a planet but after concluding that it was far too bright to be a planet we continued to observe it. After about 30 seconds, remaining in the same location, the light began to dim gradually while retaining its initial color until it was no longer visible, after which it began to immediately glow again, far less bright than before and began to steadily move to the right. As it moved, the object began to change colors from orange to red and back at about a 1 second interval. It was not the light pattern of a plane as the colors and interval were both incorrect. The object followed its course until the tree line obscured it from view. After believing the object to be gone, we left the area. After calling the closest airforce base, only to find out it was closed, we returned to the same spot about 30 minutes later. To our surprise a faint orange light, in the same position as the earlier one, began to glow brighter and followed the initial pattern, this time moving to the left however until it disappeared behind the treeline. After this, another appeared more to the right, rising very slowly and then began to follow the original pattern to the right until it seemed to dissappear from view. After this, another appeared in the orginal spot and the pattern was repeated by at least two others. These lights appeared to hover for a longer duration than earlier. During this time, I recorded two videos of the events. Another object appeared far to the right and appeared to move towards our location. After witnessing this, we left. About 15 minutes later, we returned and began to watch the objects from a new location approximately 400 feet from the initial location. There we witnessed two dim orange lights above the treeline. One disappeared from view while the other began to glow suddenly, much to our surprise. Around this time, a police helicopter flew toward the area of the lights. The objects and the helicopter did not appear to make contact. After watching the strange lights for about 15 minutes, one began to hover overhead and it appeared to have a cigar shape or at least what appeared to be a tail, although I am not certain of this. This was odd as the videos recorded earlier revealed that the objects were in the shape of a circle flashing orange and white at a short interval. The object now flying near us emitted a strange humming sound, too quiet to be a helicopter as we heard a helicopter only a few minutes earlier. After this we left the area and I did not see the objects again. The humming sound however occurred throughout the night and was heard by several people throughout different locations in the forest. Our group split up and I was told by some of the people that were present during the initial encounter that one of the objects later dipped to avoid a plane. However I am not sure that this happened and do not know the details as I was not present. This happened at least an hour later. At least 9 objects were observed that night by at least 7 people. The majority of these objects appeared in the same location.

5/6 clusters of light lit up for 5 seconds then disappeared. Then lit up one more time for approximately another 5-10 seconds then disappeared. The object seemed to be in the sky right under the cloud cover. I then texted a friend that was about 8 miles south of where I am, he reported saying he saw the same thing.

It was about 1/8 the size of the moon, and there was no streaking. The orb traveled steadily across the sky for about a mile, and then shot straight upwards, and disappeared. It lasted for approximately 15 seconds.

Helena, MT
I was out on the porch having a cigarette, looking to the east. A very large green orb fell out of the sky, nearly straight downward, at an alarming rate of speed. From my vantage point, it appeared to fall all the way to the ground. I heard no sound. I looked at the clock inside and immediately noted the time, 2:11 am. I considered the possibility that this might have been a meteor, however, this orb appeared much larger than any meteor I've seen before and it did not leave a fire or smoke trail like many of the larger meteors I've seen. About 1 minute before I witnessed the falling green orb, there had been an airplane flying directly overhead from west to east. It appeared to be an airliner flying at cruising altitude with all the standard flashing nav lights. After the sighting of the green orb, I noticed the plane was no longer anywhere in sight, which I found peculiar because at the speed it was traveling it could not have made it all the way out of my sight within that short time period. There was no cloud cover.

Billings, MT
I am a former Police Officer and retired Fire Chief and currently work as an armed mobile security officer. On the above date and at the listed time, I was on patrol with my partner and just exiting the parking lot of a hospital that we patrol. My partner was looking down at the tablet in which she was entering patrol information and I was looking eastbound out the window of the patrol car. I observed a bright neon green fiery sphere shooting rapidly across the clear sky traveling from WNW to ESE. The sphere disappeared from view behind a nearby building. I heard no associated noise and saw no further activity. At first, I thought it must be some type of fireworks, but it was larger than any firework I’d ever seen and there was no launching sound, traveling sound or any other balls of light. Unfortunately, I had just minutes before shut off my dash cam which would have been sighted right towards the event. I let out an exclamation and my partner asked what was going on. I asked her if she’d seen what I’d just seen without being specific and she replied no. We cruised the area for a while looking for signs of fireworks or anything similar and there was nothing and no one in the immediate area. The total sighting was no more than 3 seconds in duration and I have never seen anything like it before. I have absolutely no idea as to what it was I saw.

Waterbury, VT
Aug 18th, 2014. 3:50 pm. I had Just Arrived home from a day of wrenching at the speed shop i was working at in Ferrisburgh, VT. I am a fabricator and performance mechanic by trade. Motorsports is my life. I washed up, and then proceeded to make some food. Finishing that up I thought to myself “it’s a super nice afternoon. Not hot, not humid, and super clear and dry.” You would be able to see the Milky Way belt later that night from my porch and driveway. So I thought, “I’m going to enjoy my front porch and sit out and watch the night sky for a few hours as it gets dark. Well, only about 20min later, while sitting on my porch. A huge caravan of Town police, State police, SWAT, FBI, Military and unmarked federal vehicles barreled down South Main Street going east towards Duxbury. it was 10-12 vehicles at emergency operational speed all within a ½ a car length of each other doing 60mph in a 25mph zone. This kind of thing never happens here. So I knew something big was going on. I ran inside and started looking online for local news channels or web sites that might be covering what was up. Sure enough, just under a mile away WCAX was covering a story “State police had received a call to check on Paul Sweetser, 58, Monday 18th. Family members had called police because Sweetser was threatening to harm himself.” So at this point I went back outside to the sound and sight of a military Helicopter flying through the green mountain range over Waterbury, over route 89 and over my house going South towards Sweetser's house. So, I went to the end of my parking lot where the trees open up and witnessed the Heli slow down, and drop a bit in altitude and start circling around the general neighborhood where the report was coming from. They stayed at about 1000-1500ft in elevation. But then at about 7:30-9:45pm, they started circling a much larger area than the house in question on that street, and they were frequently rotating Helicopters in and out for refueling. I saw 5 or 6 different helicopters in the sky that night in the span of 5hrs doing the same circular patrol while spot lighting large areas of trees and woods around the neighborhood. Spotlighting the woods. Not even the house in question. So now it’s just after 9:50pm I have been watching the ground and aerial activity around and over this neighborhood for over 5 hrs now. Mesmerized but what I was Witnessing. Basically a huge military presence on the road ways, and aerial activity that the state police were not accountable for. That also went un mentioned in any kind of official report of the incident by the state or the papers. This is when I witnessed the UFO. It was now 9:56. I’ll never forget the time. the last military chopper in the air to circle the neighborhood had just turned out of the patrol loop and gone back over the green mountain range towards Fort Ethan Allen. When I saw the impossible. I’ve seen shooting stars, I've seen super sonic jets brake the sound barrier, I’ve seen space shuttles float by in orbit, I’ve seen the international space station float on by, and I’ve seen meteors & meteorites, I've flown drones and seen military drones be flown. This was none of the above. About a ¼ mile west of the Sweetser’s house. Up on the ridge that parallels the west side of that neighborhood. A ball or orb of brilliant blue/white light, very much the same color as a plasma arc from a plasma cutter or torch, glowed blue/white at the center and glowed a intense white on the edges, from what looked like heat dispersion. It was low in the trees and then proceeded to gain a little elevation at about 10-15mph, then eventually appearing fully visible above the tallest spruce pines at the top of the ridge. It then gained an additional 500ft in elevation above the ridge and stopped. It sat there hovering for 5-6 seconds and then proceeded to move due East at approx. 5-10mph. right around half the speed it had been traveling up out of the trees with, right towards Sweetser’s house, it then went right over top of the house at the same elevation approx. 500ft, when It frantically and instantly changed direction and speed. But not in a way I've ever witne! ssed. See below. Imagine if yoou will, a potentiometer that you could rotate left or right. that would supply input to a mechanical arm that holds a pen on paper. Move the knob left and the pen moves up as the paper goes by. Move the potentiometer right, and the pen moves down as the paper goes by, it would make a smooth wavy line left to right due to a more smooth analog input Now imagine a 3-way switch controlling the pen. Up, on the switch would move the pen up. Center position of the switch would be earth, and down with the switch, would move it down. Creating a squarer sine wave type line. Not totally square corners or perfectly vertical lines would be produced, but I think it’s a close enough example to relate the difference in visual outcome to the difference in input This UFO changed Direction like the square sine wave on the right And then instantly accelerated like I’ve never seen anything accelerate before. First It made the instant turn at 500ft, and then went into what looked like an inter-planetary trajectory or an interstellar one. It looked to progressively get smaller relative to the rate it was moving, but more importantly, it instantly got up to speed after it changed direction @ 500ft, and continued at that speed until it disappeared from view. It looked like the size of a star a few million light years away when it disappeared from view I still to this day have trouble contemplating the physics of what I saw. It made absolutely no sense. After this was witnessed I felt very taken back, receded, an ominous feel was in the air. So I felt the need to drive over to the neighborhood where this all happened, so as to drive by the house and see if some state police where still there, and maybe spot one of the unmarked FBI or military vehicles not near that property. Or ones that hadn’t been reported by WCAX. So I went by. A few state troopers were still there. But that was it. So at that point I now wanted to get as close as I could to the launch location as possible. And I thought the use of the big field between Sweetser’s house and the mtn ridge where the UFO took off from would be the best bet. So Remember this was a crystal clear, dry, Aug night. And up here in VT especially in the valley I live in. If it’s hot and humid during the day, clouds will settle into the valleys at night You’ll wake up to heavy fog in the A.M. only to realize that a few hours later, it’s all evaporated and actually a blue bird day without a cloud in the sky. The reason I mentioned this is because That field at 11:12 on a clear, clear, clear, very dry night was full of humidity & precipitation. but only hovering about 12-24” off the surface of the grass. Very, very weird atmospheric conditions close by this aerial anomaly. P.S. Later that week the local Sunday paper stated that he had been talking crazy, yelling gibberish, acting erratically, and threatening to take his own life. I hope this is summary gives you enough detail to feel severity of this sighting. It certainly was one hell of a spectacle Thank you for your time.

An orange, reddish object (that from afar appeared to be flaming), came from behind houses and rose westward up into the sky. It was completely noiseless and kept rising up above our house. Upon returning outside with more people a mere 2 minutes later, the object was gone, and we searched the skies around our whole house. It seemed to disappear upon reaching the sky above our house. The exact location of this was Sanderling, North Carolina. My fellow observers said they believed it to be 1) a drone, or 2) a Chinese lantern.

Hello. Last night me, my girlfriend, and my parents all saw something "unconventional". After seeing what I saw, I wanted to see if anyone else in the area had seen anything unusual, and that's when I saw an article by a local reporter on WTMJ about lights over Waukesha. Let me tell you our story: Last night, Aug 17th, I'd say around 9:30ish, didn't look at the clock but somewhere between 9 and 10, me and my girlfriend were out in front of my parents’ house letting the dogs out. I happened to look up at the night sky and it was such a clear night and so many stars. As I was looking up, something bright and moving fairly fast towards the Southeast caught my attention. At first I was positive it was a satellite as I have seen them time and time before whenever I camp. I ran inside and told my parents to come outside quick to see the satellite moving across the sky. We went out in the backyard, meanwhile my girlfriend was in the front yard watching the same thing. When we went out on the back patio, I was surprised that the "Satellite" wasn't further to the east because of the speed it was travelling before. In fact, it was still moving but it was as if this thing got real close to us. At first it was a small little dot, just like how a satellite appears. But this thing was getting closer to us because the size got bigger and that light was so bright. At this point, we knew it wasn't a satellite because satellites are orbiting around the earth and don't really change their depth level, at least that I know of. It wasn't any plane we've ever seen because there were no blinking lights, nothing that you see on planes. In fact, there was no sound at all. If it were a plane, it would have definitely been low enough for us to hear the plane roar. Then it changed course from a straight line, curved just slightly, turned smaller and morphed into a red light as it was passing us and disappeared. There were no clouds for any plane to have hid behind, ruling out that this was a plane. It wasn't a meteor or anything like that because there was no tail, or trail of debris behind this thing. It was an object, very, very, bright. In fact it was so bright, you could almost see the light beams emitting from it. And I can’t be positive, but it almost looked like it was a bunch of little lights all making up one big bright light. ! I can't say I am 100% on that though because it was far away. I am 100% sure though that this was a first that any of us had ever seen. There was also a shooting star that passed right in front of this thing only going south west. This bright object was moving south east. Anyway, I just thought it was really, for lack of a more captivating word "interesting". Have a nice day and thanks for your time

Le 17 août 2014 vers 21h10 un témoin observe, par la fenêtre ouverte, le passage rapide d'une grosse boule de feu avec une trainée courte de couleur jaune-blanc, très vive et très lumineuse. Après un déplacement horizontal, le phénomène disparaît. L'observation ne dure que quelques secondes. Le GEIPAN, situé au CNES Toulouse, à environ 12 km du témoin, dispose d'une caméra qui est prête en permanence à enregistrer ce type de phénomène. Cette caméra a enregistré le même phénomène à 21h11 (Voir vidéo : phénomène visible en haut à gauche du cercle, correspondant à la direction Sud-Est). Le GEIPAN classe ce cas "A" : observation certaine de bolide, enregistré aussi sur la caméra GEIPAN. [GEIPAN classification A — Bolide]

hi there, i was just out taking orb pictures when this thing showed up. i'm sending 3 pictures in sequence. in the last shot, it is not visible anymore. I don't look through the viewfinder when I take a shot now. I look into where the flash is and you can see activity or lights when the orbs, objects, bugs, etc. show up. This one, was apparent in viewfinder immediately, then i snapped another shot and got it again and then the last shot it was not visible. What is it? Photos show streaks of light, and a small object, which is radiating a full spectrum of colors. Not alien space ships, we suspect. PD

We were heading south on Payne street and stopped at the stop sign. The object appeared from behind us and moved into our line of sight. It made a swooping motion and the continued south out of our site. It seemed fairly small but we couldn't tell how high it was. I would estimate it as being a little higher than the trees. It had a glowing light green color. We heard no sound. It seemed to be moving very quickly.

Date : Saturday/August 16th/2014 Time span : From approximately 4 a.m. to approximately 7 a.m. Where : Wrightsville Beach. What we (my best friend and I) witnessed: We walked out on the beach and stood by the water and immediately saw 3 bright orbs of light.. what I originally tried to explain to my friend as Mars, Jupiter or Venus.. one of them, further off in the distance to the right started moving to the right. I watched to see if it was a plane or chopper (The ENTIRE 3 hours there were no sounds of any type of craft – only the sound of the beach break )and then noticed it’s unearthly/unrecognizable gliding/ propulsion/velocity. We then noticed that it had a random wave of flashing lights amidst the bright white light. It was scouting/scanning an area of what appeared to be about a 2 miles or so left to right – sometimes making erratic motions.. but mostly hovering at times and then accelerating rapidly – immediately from the point of motionless – to the left or right/ then smoothly and rapidly moving in horizontal directions. We stood – mouths agape – for about 20 minutes staring at this floating object .. and then it occurred to me to observe the other bright lights that were in the sky – because I know that ships have been spotted in clusters – and to my astonishment - I saw the very same thing off to the right in the sky – closer and more above our heads – closer to the coastline. I exclaimed “look! There’s another one!! “and then looked off to the left where we had originally seen what I had thought to be Venus and Jupiter or Mars. They were closer to each other than the other ones were. They also, were both moving – side to side – left to right in their respective areas. Each UFO was in their own area. Each one was scouting/scanning/moving in their different width of the sky. The third one we spotted and also the first one we noticed moving – had the largest scope of movement. It appeared to cover 2 or 3 miles left to right in the sky. Whilst the second we saw off to the right and closer to the shoreline was more like a mile or so to the left and right and sometimes moved in an oval shape. Then the other two (the first two originally seen) I studied next. They were also moving in what appeared to be their own individual parts of the sky (much closer together than the others)…with a back and forth / left to right/ sometimes oval movement. I would like to note also that they all appeared at some time or another to move diagonally through the sky and then horizontally – immediately after moving diagonally!! They all made movements of a nature that I have never before seen in my life. There were also extremely bizarre cloud formations to the left. Not a cloud or star elsewhere in the sky. Except for massive/ massive clouds that appeared strikingly as an angel / kneeling /head bent / holding an open book. Very distinct crisp cloud formation – as if a large picture drawn. The massive “wings “of the angel were a different type of cloud. This cloud formation hovered for an hour in one spot over the sky. People brought chairs out to sit and watch it. Surfers stood and pointed at it. Seven of these orbs were spotted in all. There was a bright light over our heads and it was moving in the same fashion as the other ones. It was the only one that appeared to move – back and forth – in a very small space of the sky…whilst one off over the water moved back and forth in a large area. That one rippled with colors – almost like the phosphorescence that underwater creatures have. What appeared to be an odd form of twinkling we believe to be a fading and rippling effect. These orbs all disappeared gradually at different times. They would just disappear. Their brightness and intensity did not seem to be hindered or fade away as the sun rose. They just vanished one by one. The last one ever seen was the one we had noticed movement from originally (the third one spotted). It seemed to be more active – color wise for some reason – than the others. Maybe it was closer to us than the others. The ones directly over the shoreline- over our heads - just appeared to be bright white light…whilst said orb over the ocean was bright white but with waving colors. All of these seemed to be about a mile and a half to two miles high in the sky. Four of the orbs appeared to be in a diamond formation.

On Aug. 15, 2014, around 8:00 PM just after sunset in Spokane, Washington State, on the northeast side of town, my neighbors, my wife, and I were having a BBQ, when I noticed a green flash move very quickly across the sky. I asked if anyone else had seen the light and they replied with a no. About ten minutes later, my wife had asked, “Is that the Lights you saw?” I said yes. Then we realized that this was not normal, it was too large to be an online purchased drone, and it was not an airplane or a helicopter because there was no rotor noise and we would have heard it at the distance we were. The craft was between 10 and 20 feet long and was emitting a bright green light with a faint red light with it. This vehicle hovered for a few moments, then went vertical, horizontal, and even maneuvered in what appeared to be a 180 instant turn around without having to bank like a plane or helicopter, then it slowly descended behind the trees as if it were coming down to land.

Sitting in front of my business with a co-worker we saw a large metallic sphere (like a pinball). Size was the same as a 747 jet. It made quick moves (approximately two thousand feet), both up and to the side. Each move was made in a split second. The craft would stop on a dime. The starting height was about ten thousand feet. It then took off across the sky towards the western coastline. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

I was on my deck in the rear of my house, when the sound of an airplane engine (prop) brought my attention to the south eastern sky around 0905 on the 15th of August, 2014. I saw bright white dot in the sky just south of the sun and just above it as well, I didn't pay much attention to it but when I looked back up about ten minutes later and it was still there, I thought it was a bit strange... Please keep in mind that the moon was also visible in the western sky. I went back in my house and watched TV for a bit, and then decided to go out on my front porch to see if the object was still there, and it was. It had moved to the west a bit but at about the same elevation as before, this was around 0930. I went out again around 1000, and it was still there, but it was now due south at about the same elevation. I checked again around 1010, and it was still present but a few degrees farther west. When I checked again around 1020 it was gone. It seemed to track as if it were stationary in space and the Earths rotation was causing the movement. I'm assuming this was some sort of satellite that was reflecting light from the sun or possibly indirectly from sunlight reflected from the moon. To my eye and through a 9X rifle scope it was about the size of a .22 caliber bullet held at arms length.

Driving home from work headed N and to my left there were lights moving horizontally, which I later realized were moving spherically around an object. I thought it was a plane because it was above the strip with air traffic. Object never changed elevation, it moved slowly across the sky beginning from the Luxor, and headed towards Henderson.

Wolcott (near), CO
I am a MUFON Field Investigator, currently inactive, who lives in Vail CO. I often go out to do sky watches at a BLM Bocco Mtn. recreation site Lat.39*46'29.35N Long. 106*42'21.14W. Over the years I have received numerous reports from locals who have had good UFO sightings in the area, which is dominated by Castle Peak to the west. There are power lines that run north and south over the parking area, and there is no lights visible at this location. Tonight the sky was mostly clear and I parked with my pick-up truck facing due east. At about 22:50 hours I observed a bright light rise over the ridgeline to the east over the Muddy Creek area. The ridgeline is 9-10 miles away and reaches over 8900 feet. At first I thought it could be landing lights of a plane on approach to the Eagle County airport which is about 15 miles west, as I had gotten use to seeing aircraft coming through this area at night before. Actually the airport was closes for flight operations after dark. Still thinking it was an aircraft I was surprised to see a second light rise up over the ridgeline. I thought this was unusual to see two aircraft on approach and watched as the two lights ascended when suddenly the first light switched off. I got out of the truck with my binoculars and I-phone, of which I took four photos. I scanned the sky where the first light disappeared with 7x50 binoculars but could not see any standard aircraft flashing lights. I viewed the second light with the binoculars and also saw no flashing lights. Shortly thereafter the second light switched off. Again no flashing lights were seen. I probably had these in view for 3-4 minutes. About 10-12 minutes later a third light appeared to my left and viewed through the drivers side window, which was up. This light was larger and closer than the first two, and I watched it for a few seconds while reaching for my I-phone and binoculars, and was preparing to get out of the vehicle when this light switched off. I got out and as before there was nothing there. This area of the sky was totally clear there was a bright moon that night which illuminated any clouds. Around 23:20 a fourth light appeared over the ridgeline to the east again, ascended for about a minute, and like the first three, switched off. I stayed out there till midnight but saw nothing else this night. Eagle County and the area around Castle Peak has had numerous report of UFOs, orbs, and cattle mutilations over the years, and I have talked to dozens of locals who have had sightings up here, many of them in the Castle Peak area. Incidentally, when I mentioned this sighting to a co-worker he told me that he saw a pulsating red light moving across the sky while en-route to work the morning of the 15th. He was on I-70 coming down Vail Pass around MM 181-182 at 0530. He saw no flashing aircraft lights, just the pulsating red light.

Singular red light. Extreme high altitude, "low orbit?" Northbound heading toward Ursa Major. Thought it was a satellite at first when it disappeared about five seconds after spotting it. No port or starboard lights that an aircraft would have. Besides it disappearing and never reappearing, its clearly red color made the object abnormal. I know aircraft and high/low orbit spacecraft. This was not one.

The anomaly I witnessed tonight was strange and erie, yet fascinating; an orb of light darted and hovered about 19 miles to the side of of our car for about a minute or less. We had stopped to watch the sunset, a beautiful one at that, and watched the dazzling colors of maroon and orange descend to the east. However, after the sun set, my grandmother noticed a single orange light hovering in place for about 10-15 seconds. We watched it for a little bit, but as we started the car up, the engine made the usual raucus noise that it does. It was at this time that I noticed the light darting up to the right of its former position. I don't know if it was the engine or our presence that startled it, but as it flew away it began to morph colors to match the darkening sky, and within seconds was gone, camouflaged like a chameleon. I have alway believed in life beyond our solar system, and even intelligent life. I would have never imagined to see something like this in my life.
