Green Valley, AZ
This incident happened on August 12, 2014 at about 1:30 PM. I work at a molybdenum mine south of Tucson, AZ. My co-worker was operating a D10 Caterpillar dozer on one of our waste dumps at an elevation of about 4300 ft. He was doing something on his I-phone when he glanced in his mirror and thought he saw the lights of a haul truck coming to dump a load. It took only a moment for him to realize the light was not attached to anything. At this point he turned in his seat and saw a bright light coming right at him, and had the good sense to take a picture of it with his phone. When he took the picture the object moved off at a high rate of speed across the open pit of the mine. The second picture was taken approximately two seconds after the first and he estimates by this time the object was two miles away over another waste dump. The photos were taken out the back and side windows of the dozer and the suns position was just about overhead. We spoke via telephone with the source of the report, and he sounded to us to be quite serious-minded. We suspect the report is reliable, and two photos, showing a very bright object, were forwarded to our Center by the source. We will post the photos. PD

Carolina Beach, NC
As we were standing on our balcony, we noticed a ship over the horizon brightly lite up. The next things we saw over the ocean in the sky were very bright orange orbs. At first it was one orb at a time. Half a second behind each other, in different directions. Then three at on time in a row. One would dim out then the one beside it then the other. At first I thought they were maybe military helicopters or maybe flares. But then after several minutes we saw them again. The last one was the three in a row again. This time I saw the three through the binoculars. They were orange but also had a red glare in them. And just like the first ones went off one at a time in a row. About two hours later the ship was no longer there.

Myself and 3 other neighbors saw a strange pulsating orangish red light to the west of us as it moved slowly across the sky, looked to be above sisters oregon, watched it for about 5 minutes and then it disappeared, i assume it went into the clouds, but then about an hour later at around 11 pm pst it appeared again , I called my neighbors out and we watched it again but this time as it went slowly across the sky looked like it emitted 2 white orb looking balls of light from the top and bottom of the orangish red pulsating light and these orbs shot up and down from top and bottom and then disappeared , Strangest thing i have ever seen but afterwards, the orange/red light continued north and the it too disappeared about the same spot the first time seeing it. I tried to get a video of it but camera wouldnt work in the dark and there was no noticeable noise like from a heli or plane, completely quiet

As I traveling home from work in Warrendale, Pa, on the red belt towards Fair Oaks,Pa, about 11:20 pm, this light appeared over top of a hill. The light as it drew closer towards my car was half blue and half red. The object that I was able see was spherical in shape. It disappeared very quickly behind another hill.

I woke up because of a bright light out of the window and saw an orb through the trees. I got up and was looking at it closely. It looked like the moon, but was too low and on the opposite side of the house of where it usually is. I went through the house looking our several windows to get a better look. It was behind the trees but lighting up the entire yard. I dismissed it and went back to bed. A few minutes later the light disappeared.

Dummerston, VT
3 red-orange lights flying in an arch formation mid-cloud by a main road, seemed too big to be planes but no unusual movement, then about a mile away on a more secluded road, two lights, one orange and one lighter yellow, moving closer to and farther apart from one another in different directions, including vertically, movements definitely NOT typical of a plane. Here we saw multiple light balls going in and out of the clouds and we couldn't tell how many total there were, they moved in any direction and were very versatile in their movement.

Colorado Springs, CO
Saw a light and thought it was a star only it was this side of the cloud. It was at tree line (11,500 ft altitude) to the north of Pikes Peak. Very still and then it climbed rapidly to a height of about 15,000 feet and then returned to the original spot. Changed colors from white to red and then went down very slowly and disappeared into the trees.

While I was driving south on I-5 through western Washington at approximately 2 am on the morning of August 6th, 2014, an object flew over my car which I could not identify. I had just passed the exits for Southcenter Mall and SeaTac Airport a few minutes earlier. Although I only saw this object for a second at the very most, I do recall the image of it clearly, and the thoughts that raced through my mind at the time and shortly thereafter. The object was a bluish white sphere that seemed to have an internal light source. It was flying in almost the exact same direction as I was driving. As the object quickly moved away in front of me, it seemed to lose some of its blue tint and become more white, but there was still a definite blue tint to it. When I extend my arm fully and raise my thumb, I would say the object was twice the size of my thumb when it first appeared at the top edge of my windshield. By the time it vanished over the tree line, or the horizon, it seemed to be only half of its original size. I could not see any stars in the sky at this time, and I’m not sure if there was some cloud cover or there was just too much “city light” at this location. My first thought was “wow, this thing is close”. Immediately after this I was thinking “wow, it’s going to hit the ground”. (the object did seem to be losing altitude quickly). Before I even finished this second thought however, the object had already vanished from sight. There was no flash, sound, or other evidence to convince me it did hit the ground, so now I think it just flew so fast that it disappeared over the horizon. I was asking myself what this thing could have been, but I didn’t have anything to even compare it to. Then I asked myself what it was NOT. I’m sure it was not a plane or a jet of any sort, and I’m sure it was not a shooting star. At least not like any I have ever seen. This sighting happened 26 hours ago as I type this, and I’m still clueless as to what I actually saw flying over my car. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite sober-minded. We suspect that he is a very good witness. PD

Pulling into my neighborhood on my way home from work. Saw a giant orange, reddish orb in the sky towards the northwest. It appeared to be traveling towards me. I immediately pulled over to the side of the road and got out. Watched it for the next minute as it grew larger, then suddenly seemed to change direction. The orb elongated into a narrow strip of light (as though it were speeding away and leaving a trail) and within a few seconds it was a pinpoint very high in the sky, and then I could no longer see it. Very exciting and curious to witness!

Wasilla, AK
I was traveling in my car westbound on Spruce Road heading home from work. At 12:36 a.m., I witnessed an orange glowing orb about 50 feet above the treetops and approximately 100 yards ahead crossing the road from north to south. When I reached the point of the object's crossing, I stopped and exited the vehicle. I continued to observe the object while standing in the middle of the road (There was no other vehicular traffic}. By this time the object was stationary, hovering at approximately 100 feet in altitude and perhaps 50-70 yards south of the road. There was no sound emanating from the object. As it hovered, it began to move in a slow, tight, circling maneuver. As it exhibited this circling motion, I observed a bluish-white light pulsating either from within the orange orb or on it. The object then began to slowly move to the southwest, maintaining it's altitude and disappeared from my line of sight behind the tree line. Judging from the object's distance and altitude, I approximate it's size to be that of a small compact automobile. This was the apparent size of the glowing light, it was difficult to ascertain whether it was actually a solid object. At 12:39 a.m I entered my vehicle and proceeded home with no further incident.

I was not the first one to see this light object. My mother went outside to hang some clothes when I heard her call me out. She was calling me in a hurried manor. I went outside just in time to see this orb floating directly above trees in our backyard and it floated over our home. We watched it together for close to 5 minutes as it slowly floated by. It was an orange/red color. Pulsating from low brightness to high brightness. If I had to compare it to something it'd have to be like how a flare would look. The orb came up low over trees in our back yard, flew over our home and ascended into the dark sky. We watched it for about 5 mins before we couldn't see it anymore. There were planes in the area flying above. Our dog was with us as we stood out watching and it whimpered as if frightened. It may be due to the light orb.

Portland, OR
Driving home late at night we noticed 2 glowing and sometimes flashing/flickering red and orange orbs moving in the sky. They looked almost like balls of flame, but were round unlike flames. they were moving at different speeds, changing directions, seemed to be interacting with one another. Then a third orb appeared behind the others and followed behind. They then moved in a triangle like formation. i was driving so only was able to watch for approx 30 secs. since we witnessed this, i have talked to neighbors who have seen similar red and orange orbs lately in the portland area. i cannot find a legitimate answer to what they were. apparently a video of them were put on the local news, who also had no answer as to what these lights were. the truth is out there.

My boy friend called me out to the balcony and showed me 2 round orange looking objects that were moving quite quickly one about 45° below the top circle.. When I took a picture the flash went off and caused the top one to stop and than the bottom in to stop once directly below it ..... they both just stayed in one place kind of blinking for a few seconds ....... Slowly the top one disappeared as if it was moving away from us than a few seconds after the bottom did the same. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I went to the living room to close the blinds and noticed a single star. I thought it was a bit bright considering there were no other stars in the sky due to the thick cloud/chemtrail cover. I watched the "star" for a few seconds and it began to slowly move South-Eastish from its location. As it was moving, another dimly lit 'star' appeared and remained stationary. The first "star" kept moving in a SE direction and the second star faded in and out. After about 30 seconds of movement from the first star, it simply disappeared, no flashing lights or anything. It was simply a "star" moving, and then gone. The second star completely dimmed out after the first one faded away. I hope this helps, it was a strange sight and I see quite a few of them up here at night, usually from 1am to 4 am. I'll update you again with the next one.

Spokane, WA
A storm was approaching Spokane at 18:20pm, 8-2-2014, and the lights began to flicker in my house. I went outside (still daylight with clouds ) to observe the storm and noticed strong winds pushing to the Northeast and birds scattering around. Then a black shiny polished looking orb flies over in a perfect trajectory flying S.E. (like the ISS, I see it fly over at night alot) The elevation could be around 2 - 4 hundred feet. It could not have been affected by the wind as it seemed to be in an orbit like the ISS. Did not make a sound and I continued watching until it went out of sight in the far S.E. and I know it wasn't ISS because this was under the clouds, black and much larger. It did not appear to change in elevation during the 30 seconds it was viewable. Again it was black and had a shiny polished look to it. The size was not large from my perspective about the size of a half dollar at arm's length at its closest from my back yard it was just a bit east of my position in west Spokane but almost straight over so I got a good look at it. I watched it until it got smaller and smaller until it was no longer visible. We spoke via telephone with this witness, and we found hime to be both eloquent in his description of the sighting event, and sincere. PD
