Bedford, NH
3 fiery orbs traveling in almost rank and file order one behind the other. Middle orb making an s pattern. First object dimmed almost to what would appear to be a satellite but remained orange/red in color. After dimming it slowed until beside what was the middle object. Rate of sped was slower than a small engine plane. No noise and they all vanished simultaneously

Charleston (James Island), SC
Was on a run and heading back home down Harborview, looked up above the tree line and saw something very similar to another report I saw on here: an orange/fiery circular object streaking thru the sky but was gone within 3-5s of seeing it. Looked to be much closer/larger than a shooting star.

Maldivian Island resort, Maldives
Me and my family we are currently held in quarantine in a Maldivian resort in Maldives. And while we were just hanging out in the balcony we saw this object moving very fast across the sky, I captured it on my iPhone. It was clearly not an aircraft. It moved fast and when I zoomed in it appeared to change variation of color as well. It constantly vanishes and appears again. It was around 10:00 pm here in the Maldives. Me and my family we are also Maldivians. Me, my wife, my son and my brother we all saw it clearly.

Austin, TX
I was working near a power plant in Texas and saw something beaming but slowly coming down heading towards the power plant, there was a light flickering and by the time it got about 60 feet or so close it stayed hovering over the power plant for about 4 minutes the ball looked about 6 inches big in the sky but it was brighter then the sun, it was making no noise at all and by the time i looked down and looked back up again it was still there for 2 seconds then it automatically glided up and shot up and it disappeared, I’m not sure if it was recharging or doing something.

Jonesboro, GA
Objects came in twos. One lower than the other. Heading south towards Macon ga. Large burning fire ball that left no trail of smoke or debris! Bubbling hot glowing flames like lava! Came to a stable altitude, each one, and started cooling off at the same time maintaining it's current cruising speed until it cooled quickly,less than 30 secs each one and disappeared in the dark minless night sky! They always do this. This is my second time in 5 yrs seeing this! Atlanta hartsfield airport had to pick them up on their radar because they came in directly over the airport! This is my second time reporting but I'm sure even reporting this it won't be covered or explained! I'm sure by the creation of this site you guys know what's going on and probably just gonna make a fool outta the people that report them. There's no way this is happening and it's not being taken seriously unless you guys wanna keep it secret! NOW WTF IS GOING ON?

West Jordan, UT
2 round, bright white, yellow/orange fire like objects flew in a horizontal line (going away from us) even looked like it went upward and within 7 to 10 seconds was just gone. Disappeared. 5 witnesses. We saw multiple satellites throughout the evening, but this was nothing compared to anything I've ever seen in my life. I caught the tail end of the object disappearing in a video, but the video doesn't do it justice.

Eagle Eye Road, AZ
We were heading north on Eagle Eye Rd. We were roadcruising for snakes on the road. My son first saw the objects. Then I saw them. I pulled over and turned off the car. We got out of car and watched for a while. They appeared again and my wife then saw them. 5 large orange spheres (lights) appeared just to the North of Harquahala mountain. Objects were in a straight line. No movement of objects. They were stationary. They appeared three times in that spot. They would appear and they would turn off about 5 seconds later. No noises at that time but a few minutes after seeing them a pulsing thunder noise was heard. Like a thunderstorm rumbling no no storms and relatively clear skies. We scanned the skies for some time and the objects appeared again to the NE. Same pattern. No noise, on for a few seconds and then off. This happened a total of five times. We drove down road a couple more times. There was strange bird activity that night. We hit one bird. Two othe! r dead birds were spotted on the road. Another bird was found sitting in the road not moving. My son got out and walked up to it. The bird did not move until my son reached for it. My wife took a few pictures of the objects with her new camera. The whole experience was a little unsettling.We continued road cruising but not much on Eagle Eye road but on Salome Rd. Nothing else was obverved.

Greenville, MS
I witnessed 3 floating objects displaying flash a red the orange hue. I fists believed to be aircraft of military maybe due to the horizontal movement and flash of lights , then the first light began to strink and disappea , the other two followed. This led me to think well maybe these are oddly 3 falling stars in rare motion, so I began to make wishes upon then appeared two more floating horizontal and they strunk then disappeared, trees and a light pole restricted my view of were this was coming from in the sky , the boom the brightest and last one appeared and followed the others. This left me baffled, I am not one to look up ufo info nor have I ever encountered such, I searched the internet and was led to extraterrestrial information which led me here. I don't know if what I witnessed was a natural cause but I feel the need to report this just in case someone else caught it too.

Russellville, AR
Driving down Lake Front heading east, three bright red spheres appeared in the northeast. They lined up vertically and darted off to the east. They all left a trail that dissipated immediately. Evidence of their presence in the night sky was gone within seconds.

Oberlin, OH
Was walking through Oberlin black river/plum creek corridor and the clouds had just dissipated looked up at stars and noticed a round golden/fire like ball moving slowly in a straight line followed by five more following the same distance apart and eventually disappearing, there were now contrails. 30 seconds after that I saw a comet entering and completely dissipating into atmosphere right above the highest canopy tree. I stumbled to grab my phone and video shortly realizing it was at home, this was surly a sight to see as I have never seen anything like it before.

Los Angeles, CA
Object moved in a straight line low in the atmosphere ( lower than a plane) at approx 50-55 degrees from approx sw to north. Rate of movement was consistent, it’s rate of movement was similar to the ISS when spotted from the ground, which is why I thought it was the ISS at first, yet it’s brightness, color, and lack of arc (it moved consistently in a straight line, parallel to the horizon) was inconsistent with how I have observed the ISS previously. Single light, possibly -8/-7 magnitude (urban area, no other stars currently visible)-reddish glow with a small halo possibly from atmospheric diffusion. It faded slightly once before returning to full brightness again and then faded completely in a quick yet smooth manner. I and the other witnesses heard no noise, either emitting from the object or before/after seeing the object. (Fireworks go off frequently in my neighborhood and we heard no explosions before or after spotting the object). It was almost lik! e an ember from a fire the way it flickered out, yet having seen many fireballs/shooting stars/meteor showers in my life, it moved like none of those and appeared very mechanical/intentional.

Statesboro, GA
Several craft was shooting into the air and it lasted about 5 mins. At first it looked like a chain of lights but after they got so high they just disappeared. But as they would vanish new ones would appear as if launching.. No noise.was not normal.

Newberry, MI
We were out of town just hanging out in the North country trail and Newberry was the closest place to us. We all had a couple of beers but we all were sober enough to know what we saw. Even our DD saw it. It got super quiet, everything almost stopped, even time. We all were very disoriented and felt a little sick. Put of nowhere, we saw what we could only identify as a fireball like object. It flew in a strange pattern, and didn't act like a fireball. What felt like 4 minuted was actually hours, time didn’t feel real. A moment of silence took over us, trying to come up with plausible reasons of what this could be. We came up with nothing, it was our DD who decided to look up different possibilities and the internet lead us to you. It seems like the right path, we can only hope telling our story will help us learn and come to terms with what we saw.

Seabrook, TX
Scene Summary: The object was viewed from the backyard of my residence located in Seabrook, Texas. The object appeared in the northern sky, approximately 45 degrees above the horizon. There were scattered Altocumulus clouds that appeared to be traveling from WNW to ESE. Temperatures were warm. The object appeared much like a comet - With a bright "head" and a "tail", with the head on the bottom, and the tail oriented at a 90 degree angle to the horizon. The object was pinkish orange. Details: My wife and I observed what appeared to be a fire in the sky for approximately 15 minutes. We observed the object for several seconds before it completely disappeared. It illuminated again a few seconds later, much brighter than before. The object remained stationary in the sky. After approximately 8 minutes, the object brightened again and appeared to elongate. While observing the object, I phoned my mother, who lives approximately a mile from my house. She went outside and also observed the object. After approximately 15 minutes, the object disappeared. My wife recorded approximately 14.5 minutes of very good video of the object. End Report.

Mount Holly, NC
As soon as the Sun Set in the West. In the Eastern sky ( Over Charlotte NC ) 2 Fireball like objects orbited around each other super fast for 45 seconds to a minute before making a straight line completely out of sight to the South. Oddly enough a neighbor 3 houses down from me was outside and saw the whole thing unfold as well. From my perspective the fireballs appeared to be the size of small car. 10-14 feet in diameter.

Franklin, WI
I saw a big ball of orange light moving in the sky. It looked like it was moving rapidly up and down. My brother also noticed the light and we saw it was much different than the normal types of objects you would see in the sky. This was no star, it wasn’t the sun. It also seemed to change to a greenish color after a few seconds. My dog perked up when he saw it and began to back away from the window. He did not come out of his crate until we fed him dinner. Then, after about a minute, it disappeared into thin air.

3 orb like objects, looked like fireballs. Moved very slowly and silently. They were flying very low, much lower than planes or helicopters do. As they flew past, the backsides of the objects were disk-like and white in color.
