5 circular crafts flew rather low and red/orange-ish in color and absolutely no sound. There were no flashing lights. Just a solid ball of light. They flew past rising higher into the sky and just seemed to disappear. These were followed by 5 more doing the same. 2 more came by and finally one more. All flew in the same direction. They seemed to vanish as quickly as they appeared. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Quinault, WA
Was out near Quinault, Wa. Camping with family at North Fork campground. At 11:30 pm, we heard a jet in the distance, looked up and saw what looked like a military jet chasing a bright red orb. About an hour later, heading in the opposite direction, we heard the jet again, this time it was the same jet chasing 2 green bright orbs.

On Tuesday July 29th at 4:30pm as I was driving N/B on Martin Luther King Way a reflection of light in the sky caught my attention. This was a beautiful sunny day with no clouds in the sky. I observed sunlight reflecting off of a round-smooth metallic (chrome) ball in the sky. It appeared to be hovering about 500 feet over Boeing field. As the object began moving very slowly to the N/W I could see it clearly. There were no markings on it and appeared to be perfectly smooth and chrome in color. It’s hard to judge the size because of nothing near it to compare to, but I’m guessing it was about the size of a house. As I watched the object move slowly to the N/W it seemed to “fade out” or blend into the sky (I could still see the shape of it). I continued watching it until it went completely out of view. I kept looking in the area to hopefully see it again. The round metallic object reappeared and began to slowly ascend straight up-then it just disappeared!

Five round lights formed in a triangle formation, two disappeared out of nowhere, the remaining three moved up up up until we could not see them. We were driving in our neighborhood and stopped and watched, a neighbor also came outside because his dog was barking and he asked us what are those, are they helicoptors? My son said we don't know. They were round emitting a orange-reddish glowing solid light no blinking at all. Very intriguing. We have amended the time above, in order to reflect a nighttime sighting. PD

Date may be flawed. The date of the alleged sighting, we suspect, may have been August 27, not July 27. We have attempted to contact the two witnesses via telephone, but unsuccessfully, to date. PD

I watched a red sphere travel across the night sky; a solid glowing red object going from north to south. The object then faded and abruptly disappeared. The object was traveling smoothly across the sky. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Saw a single orange orb hovering under the cloud ceiling for a few minutes as a storm was approaching. Object was seen while traveling north on US Highway 27 in Chippewa County near Holcombe, WI. Position of the object was in the line with the road.

Green Bay, WI
Object appeared to be at a higher altitude that what we would expect for the International Space Station. I check and the ISS is over Afganastan at this time. Object appeared as a satellite in orbital path heading north by northwest slightly. I took it as a possible satellite until 2 minutes into my observation, the object made a course correction about 15 degrees to the right as if to miss something. About 15 seconds later the object corrected again, this time about 25 degrees to the left. Object was NOT a Satellite. Very High and traveling at a speed about twice the speed of what the ISS is normally observed at. That is All.

Toms River, NJ
My property is located in the middle of a cul-de-sac which backs up to a large wooded area. My wife and I were sitting outside when a light drew my attention to the northeast, facing two trees on my property and the beginning of our neighbor's backyard. First instinctual thought was that a plane was about to pass, but we had not, as of yet, heard any indactive sounds. As the light began to clear the obstruction of the trees, details became visible and our full attention was drawn to the object, which continued on in a southwestern direction without making any sound. The object was a red spherical object filled with a central rectangular section of what appeared to be orange fire. The object was either relatively large or relatively low in altitude, and was bright enough to have drawn our attention before actually becomming visible. The object roughly appeared to be the size of a full moon in the sky. We continued observing it with an unobstructed view as it passed almost directly over our property before beginning to take a turn more distinctly toward the west-northwest which began to put it over the large wooded area our property borders. The object was not fast moving but eventually disappeared beyond the treeline. I've been watching the sky my entire life; I've always been intrigued by the night sky and all the various wonders that appear once the sun sets. I've been using telescopes since I was a child, and I've never seen anything in the sky that I couldn't identify. The possibility of this object being a chinese lantern briefly entered my mind and was dismissed in as short a timespan as the next blink of my eyes. The object commanded your attention in a way that would have been unlikely for a Chinese lantern.

I went to let my dog out when something in the western sky caught my attention. I am an avid star gazer and to my astonishment there was an inordinately bright set of flashing lights in an area of the night sky where no star or planet should be. This in itself may not seem that strange as aircraft fly over this area very frequently, however this did not act like any aircraft I have ever seen. For starters the object was silent and remained in the same place while a series of multi-colored lights flashed it what appeared to be a pattern. The lights themselves would flash off and on in a series of revolutions around a singular red beam, the white lights would flash in a circular motion around the constant red light. The object just remained in place until about 1:20am, it was at that time another object, most likely a plane judging by its sound and speed had moved relatively close to the object in question. It was here when things got even crazier. The object projected a huge orb of light around it and it flashed as bright as the sun and vanished. The other object flying towards it made a quick turn to the south and continued flying a normal course as if it were heading towards Dullus International. I will continue to search that area of sky again tonight to see if the object returns, but the shear speed at which the object darted off last night made it clear to me this object was not something one normally sees when gazing up in the night sky. The only other thing I would like to add was that it was a perfectly clear night and thinking my eyes were playing tricks on me I went and got my glasses and an HD set of binoculars and can easily draw and explain what exactly it was that I saw in the western sky outside of Sykesville, MD, last night. Thank you for your time in this matter and I look forward to further correspondence.

First sighting was one glowing orb shining bright orange, dimming to red. It disappeared in thin air, then another appeared. Then after it, 2 more. All moving across the sky. They could not be mistaken for lanterns, as they appeared above the tree line, moved across the sky then disappearing. Saw the same thing last year, but last time there were about 10.

It was 10:00 p.m. on July 23rd. It was a clear, dark night with stars clearly visible in the sky. A bright orange circular object appeared from line of sight in a suburb above the house across the street. It traveled over our house, making no noise, and continued along the same direction moving quickly across the sky from the NE to the SW, until it was obscured by our house. The size was comparable to 30’ diameter sphere. fter the third object appeared I grabbed my phone and did a video of the object as it traveled across the sky. The video is not good quality and did not show the color as orange and it was in person. I noted they traveled about the height that a helicopter would use. After studying the night sky in between sightings I made some observations. We live in a high traffic area for planes. This was not a plane, nor a helicopter. It made no sound. Plane traffic had stopped in the area. They normally circle above us at varying heights. It was like nothing I have ever seen. I also noted that two helicopters were moving around the area within 10 minutes of the second object, about 5 minutes before the third object appeared. This also coincided with the obvious lack of airplane traffic in the sky. The helicopters traveled in the same direction as the objects eventually disappearing into the distance.

Aurora, CO
On Tuesday, 7/22/2014, around midnight, my wife and I were driving south bound on Himalaya (in Aurora, Colorado) and just as we approached the intersection of Chenago, a dark shadowy object went east to west approximately 100' in front of us and 100' above. The object was flying incredibly fast, had no lights nor made any sound. The whole thing lasted only a second. As it was going from left to right in my field of vision, about ¾ of the way across, the light from the street light (that was down and to the right) reflected off of it and it was like a camera flash. When it flashed, I got a tiny glimpse of the object, before it disappeared into the darkness. It appeared to be a round black ball and had a shine to the surface that caused the reflection. I immediately asked my wife, “Did you just see that?” She responded that she saw 'something' fly by and then the flash from the reflection off the street light. It was not a plane, bird, helicopter nor an alien UFO. I believe it is the same object as seen on KDVR and CNN news reports from back in March of 2014 and November 2013 that was recorded twice from 84th & Federal.

It was to the southeast of me, just over a hilltop (appeared very far away). thought I was looking at jupiter, a star or a satellite, but noticed it appeared to be blinking and while it was predominantly orange/red in color, there appeared to be glimpses of green and white. After staring at it a while, I noticed that not only was it blinking/pulsing, but it was moving. At first it appeared to zigzag and then it appeared to be moving in small circles. I watched it for about ten minutes. Eventually it began to get dimmer and dimmer as it pulsed until I could no longer see it. I went back outside about twenty minutes later and noticed an object that looked the same to the southwest, but it appeared to be a lot closer (was about 3 times as big). While my view at this time was obscured by a maple tree (I was too scared to go onto the lawn and get a better view), I was able to see that it was definitely a aircraft of some sort. The pulsing/blinking lights were more distinct. It was continuing in the same odd zigzagging movements. Without knowing how far away it was, it's hard to say whether it was moving far or quickly. But the movements were barely noticeable at first. There was no sound.

I was riding my motorcycle west on Hwy 429 around 7:00 to 7:15 in the evening of July 22, 2014, and to the southwest of my position was a round silver craft, extremely high in the sky and very far. It was not moving to the best of my knowledge. I watched the craft for 10 to 15 seconds as best I could while on a motorcycle, until I lost view of it because of trees. Once I cleared the trees, I could no longer find it in the sky. I have noticed a lot of military helicopters in the area lately but did not see anything with the craft. I ready didn't think anything of the helicopters, until I read the post from Baton Rouge, I am really skeptical when it comes to this type of stuff. But I know what I saw.

It was right before we went to bed. My girlfriend called me outside with a panic in her voice. I said, "Oh, no, not again". It was true! There were 5 flying objects in the open sky that were very bright red/yellow flickkering lights. Each one hoovered over each other in a circled pattern. As we watched in shock we watch one by one craft disappear instantly. There was NO trail of lights like you see as if it were an airplane or helicopter. After they floated in the sky the crafts disappear one by one. Leaving NO trace. I am convinced these were UFO's. We are not alone.............that i know after last night. I was amazed and called to tell my mother who has always believed. It was the most exciting thing I have ever witnessed.

Both eventually disappeared from view behind trees and houses. The helicopter was large and long and the orb was about 1/4 the size of the helicopter. I also saw two large cigar-shaped images in the same area, about the same time of night, two or three nights previous to this event. Will report this separately. Observer: Woman, retired business owner, out walking.

I was laying on my truck bed when I saw a blue sphere appeared in the sky about the size of a star. It seemed as if it was loosing altitude and next thing I know it picked so much speed and it was gone within a blink of an eye. What was so amazing was the fact it was as silent as a heart beat. A few minutes later there was so much air traffic that it may have been too obvious as if to cover up the sky with their aircraft lights. Not only that, the stars in the sky where also going on and off as if they were turning their lights on and off.

Kitty Hawk, NC
Sitting on the deck at approximately 930 pm, we witnessed two orange/white strobing orbs appear to the south of our position in Kitty Hawk. The first appeared and remained stationary for about 10 minutes. It strobed orange to white and at some times looked red. It eventually move at a slight angle becoming very dim, until it disappeared. Shortly after, the second orb with the same coloration appeared in the same area of the sky. It drifted slightly from East to West, then remained stationary for about 8 minutes. It then rose straight upwards. As it rose a small white orb seemed to drop out of the orange orb. The small white orb disappeared immediately and the orange orb faded until it was completely out of sight. After about 10 minutes, a third orange orb came into view directly to the north of Kitty Hawk, lower on the horizon than the previous two, but strobing orange/ white. It appeared to be moving towards our position, becoming increasingly more visible. Then it began to fade until it was no longer visible.

Grand Junction, CO
I am a night shift custodian, and I was standing outside the office after checkout, chatting with two of my coworkers. As we were talking I looked up at the sky, which was cloudless and had no other obstructions to my field of vision. As I'm looking I see a very slow moving orb of light barely moving. I live in a high air traffic area, so I'm very used to seeing airplanes. This was definitely not one, as it had no flashing indicator lights, and was far too slow. My coworkers all looked to see what had caught my attention. We looked at each other briefly, as if making sure none of us were crazy, then looked back. The orb had vanished. We only looked at each other for roughly 2-3 seconds, and based off of rate of travel, there is no way it could have escaped our field of vision. I have heard two other confirmed reports, one from a friend, who I never shared my story with, and the other is a complete stranger, who caught it on film.
