We were on the deck of our apartment building that faces east I first seen 3 orange lights flyig in a triangle. I knew what they were my sister has seen them on the east coast I was flipping excited finally I had seen them. Called for my boyfriend he watched the first 3 go over clear as day then a fourth came trailing behind going slower I think.shortly after all 4 were visible the first 3 disappeared. We joked their on a field trip to observe our bizarre rituals lol boyfiend went out to the front of our building to see if they went over. As I watched the last one go to where the others disappeared and im not even kinding it just blinked once then it was gone. Best 4th ever. Wish there would be a legit reason for them though.

It was around 10 pm on July 4, 2014, and I was out in the front yard of a friend on Queen Anne Hill in Seattle, waiting for the fireworks over Lake Union when seemingly out of nowhere three orange orbs appeared in the eastern sky; looked like they could have been over South Lake Union or Beacon Hill. They weren’t very big but clearly visible. They hovered in a triangular shape for about 10-15 seconds -- one object above and two below that. I told my friend, those are UFOs! But he laughed and said, "No they’re not." And I said, then what are they? He had no answer. The triangle moved slowly and in unison to the right (S) and moved behind a tree, so we ran over to the edge of the yard to see if we could track them. I could see the orange lights through the branches. (These objects were high in the sky; I don’t mean they were behind this tree across the street.) When they emerged, the orbs spread out into a line and the one farthest to the right turned and dropped a bit below the others. Again, they just hovered for about 10 seconds. I was slapping my friend on the back and saying, see, see, those are UFOs! Then the one to the far right disappeared. It was just gone. The other two hung on for a few more seconds and then they, too, were gone, first one, then the other. Yes, there were many choppers and airplanes in the air waiting for the fireworks, but they were noisy and I could easily identify them as aircraft. At the time we saw the orbs, all the aircraft were farther north and were clearly not near the objects. I flew airplanes as a student pilot years ago, and have many hours of flying time, including solo landings. I know what aircraft are like and these were not conventional aircraft. The fireworks had not started so these were not fireworks. Unless there’s a new kind that can hover, turn, stop, and change formations in a crisp manner. I was thinking maybe they were flares, but they just didn’t look like flares. The orbs were not wavering, fuzzy, but very stable and clear in the sky. To the west, there was a quarter moon out, but again, it couldn’t be confused with these very orange, very round, very clear objects that were hovering in front of us. I looked online the next day and somebody posted a video that shows an orange globe hovering and moving in the sky. A commenter said it was a Chinese lantern, which, he said, were everywhere last night. What we saw was not a lantern. When I got home last night, I called my son and told him about it and he said, wow, that’s weird because I saw an orange object hanging over Beacon Hill about the same time. He said he thought at first that it was a planet but it seemed too big for a planet and it was very round and orange. So, that whole experience was a first for me and my disbelieving friend who witnessed it with me. I have no idea what they were but sure wish I could find out.

While waiting for the usual yearly 9 PM fireworks show to start there was an unexplained delay and as the crowd eyes and mind wandered the sky wondering why the delay. We and many others were getting ready to leave thinking the show may have be cancelled. We started to get up out of our lawn chairs and in the sky behind us we noticed 4 slowly moving orange craft that were circular moving very slowly pulsating and drifting west to east. Clearly not normal aircraft my daughter started taking pictures with her IPhone and my wife used her camera. Then the craft had an additional 14 to 18 craft drifting by the field with several families noticing and joking about being UFO’s. We had seen 5 last year at the same place however they did not float by in the same way. However they just disappeared last year and so did there just go by and then they went into a straight line and disappeared. They did not shoot away in a flash just simply turned into nothing. On the way home which was only a 10 minute ride we stopped at a gas station near our home to get some creamer for coffee and my wife went in my daughter and I both could not wait to look at the pictures, What we say gave us chills and goose bumps because when we used her IPhone to get bigger close-ups the body of the craft were not longer round, but the craft was clearly seen. All lit up with bright lights like steps all around the craft I am attaching or uploading the best photo we have. We were hoping to get these to you before the C2C show tonight because I remember last year on the 4th we had reports all over the US with the same orange craft. I want to say orbs but these are orange round appearing craft.

One solid orb of red seen in the night sky. Didn't strobe like a typical aircraft. Appears in the sky for about a minute and then rapidly disappeared over the course of 3to 4 seconds. Initially headed north stand then turned south very quickly.

While traveling eastbound on 410, directly before NW Military Drive, I saw a reddish orange sphere floating about 200ft in the air. No movement, no flashing lights, no shadows as if it were a commercial craft.

Before the fireworks, we noticed a reddish orange sphere at an extremely high altitude moving south/southwest. Once we found a spot we sat down and looked back up. The object moved very slowly and ended up just fading and disappearing from view. There were no blinking lights or anything the color was very consistent. It seemed to move higher in altitude otherwise I'd say it was something burning up in our atmosphere.

As I went out in to my driveway, I looked up to see some fireworks going off when I saw an Orange light just hanging there. I thought at first it was a firework, due to its firey orange color, that had reached its peak height and was ready to explode. Instead of explode though I noticed it was moving south, towards me, at a slow pace maybe 30-40mph. After I realized it was flying I watched it for a minute then ran in and grabbed my video camera and got the wife. As we watched it fly overhead and right past us the orange glow just faded out. At that time we both looked back north and noticed another one coming. This one did the exact same thing. It flew south then slowly faded out. This happened two more times. These objects seemed to be following each other at a distance. One every 2-3 mins apart. The great thing about the night of the 4th was that it was a clear night and even after the lights faded we should have still been able to see the shape of the objects due to the fact the sky was so clear and we could see the stars. I'm not sure what they were but as I said the were a bright firey orange color and were roughly 2000 feet high and completely silent. They didn't make a sound! I see and hear planes go over all the time since I live about 5 miles S.E. from DTW. These were NOT planes and were not on the flight route of the planes that land or take off. These objects looked as if they were following Inkster rd due south and veered east over Lake Erie. I found these same objects on youtube when I typed in UFO's of July 4th. As far as my video went. The video quality was terrible. Trying to record and object like that at night is harder then I thought it would be. I'm not a UFO nut I and my wife work for GM and have no history of seeing things and can explain almost all of what I see in the skys. This night however I saw 4 Bright Orange Lights flying overhead at a somewhat low altitude and did not see any type of body to these crafts against the backround of a Very Clear Sky. These lights simply faded out as they flew over and were gone! I cannot explain this or tell anyone what it was I saw other then orange lights.

We were in my back yard which is a rectangle and the rear behind the house faces north. We were just waiting for dark to light off fireworks when someone noticed a red-ish/orange-ish ball of light. The first time I saw it, it was in the southeast sky moving rapidly northeast. It had a height of maybe 10 to 15 thousand feet off the ground. Comparing this to a balloon or parachute, there is no way to move a balloon or parachute that fast. The second time I saw it, the sky was still light yet and it was as if the ball of light appeared from nowhere then moved from north to south at a very high speed. I quickly ran into the house and got my binoculars and when I ran back out it was gone. Finally, the third time I saw one was Saturday night while having a campfire in the middle of the night. About 1 or 2 am on the 5th of July. I saw it come from the north off in the distance very far away. It moved very fast towards us and disappeared behind the trees in a duration of about 2 to 3 minutes. No blinking lights, one luminous color only. This is not known military or civilian. Parachutes and balloons cannot move like that and go that fast. One of us (not myself) is an honorably discharged marine who served in Afghanistan recently.

Cape Canaveral, FL
On July 4, 2014, approximately 9:30 p.m. ET, near Cape Canaveral, Florida, we witness 6 UFO sightings. Sequentially, this is what we saw. As we returned home after watching fireworks near Sidney Fisher Park, I pulled into the ((deleted)) condominium complex and noticed an orange light hovering above the beach just east of the condo complex. As I exited the car, I walked around the condo complex to try and get a better view, but by the time I got there, the orange light had disappeared. I proceeded upstairs to the fifth floor condo, and proceeded to the balcony and witnessed another orange light hovering what seemed like no more than a mile off the beach, maybe 2,500 feet in the air, and directly east of the condo. While that light hovered in place without a sound, I called to the rest of my family including my wife and my father-in-law, an ex-rocket engineer with Lockheed Martin space systems. As they joined me on the balcony, we witnessed another orange glow travel from the north down the beach, pause for a moment near the condo at about 1,500 feet above sea level, and then proceed to travel east out over open water. All of us were left speechless, trying to explain the sighting and the fact that there wasn’t a single sound. During this time, the original orange glow that was hovering, literally just disappeared in place. It wasn’t like it was hidden behind a cloud; it was literally like the light turned off and the object was just gone. My mother-in-law ran back into the condo to retrieve binoculars as I started to try and take pictures with my iPhone. The pictures are added here. Over the next 5 minutes, we witness two orange glows side-by-side almost in formation follow the same path down the beach from the north as if they launched near the Kennedy Space Center and paused at about the same altitude as the prior aircraft, roughly 1,500 feet above sea level. One of the two proceeded to rise vertically in place to about 2,500 feet, close to the same altitude the first aircraft was at, but slightly more north in the sky. As I tried to find it in the binoculars, the second of the two aircraft had again just disappeared in place, like the light was just turned out. Returning to the original aircraft, it too had disappeared. As the prior aircraft were hovering in place and rising to the roughly 2,500 feet above sea level; a final aircraft followed the same flight path as the prior three. As that aircraft neared the same area of the prior two, it paused, rotated and turned out towards sea. This one, I could find in the binoculars what appeared to be two circular exhaust engines side by side. The aircraft proceeded slowly out east for what seemed like 3-5 miles before it too disappeared out of site. Stunned, we all turned to each other in amazement at what we saw. Were they test helicopters? Where they drones – never heard a completely silent drone? Given the clear distinct side-by-side orientation of the engines for the final aircraft, it was confirmation that it was a powered aircraft vehicle. But even at that, we couldn’t explain the orange glow as it approached us. Why would we see the glow of engines? How did they hover with no underneath engines for flight stabilization? A thousand questions; all leaving us with the conclusion that we just witnessed a unique UFO sighting. ((deleted)) Condominiums, Ridgewood Ave., Cape Canaveral, Florida.

No fireworks in the area even though it is 4th of July. 3 silent red/orange balls of light moving rather quickly across the water and up into the clouds. No sound, no fireworks in sight.

Burnsville, MN
Perhaps the best fireworks that I will see tonight. At 21:15, 9:15 PM, driving home on county Road 11, above a hill at the highest point on my route north back home I saw a bright red light. Originally with the air traffic from MSP I was expecting an aircraft of some sort. At about 130th street I was able to better make out the object and saw no other running lights, which aroused my interest. The object was about the speed of a light plane and continued changing the observation angle to the point where I was directly under it. It was round with no appendages. The outer edges of the object were a dark red and the object was an increasingly brighter red toward it's center. There was a bright white light in the center which varied from very bright to much less so. I saw this object while I traveled 3/4 mile at 40 mph and it crossed from my right front to overhead and to my rear in that time. It crossed my line of sight going into trees. It was no higher than 500 feet in my estimation, steady in that elevation and by reconsidering my positions on a map it was traveling to the South-SouthWest, against the reported breeze from the South. It was 5 to 8 feet in diameter if its elevation was 500 feet, proportionally greater if higher in elevation. It was sharp and distinct when seen closer and especially when it was directly overhead. Total time of the observation was about 45 seconds. This was just after sunset with cloudy skies. I had two cameras with me, shame on me for not stopping and trying to grab a picture, or two. Conventional explanation seems limited to a balloon flare but the object was going against a light, but prevailing breeze. With many people out on the Fourth looking at fireworks, some kind of balloon drone combination would have to be considered too. But that is if one needs to find a conventional explanation.

Flatwoods, KY
UFO Sighting Place: Flatwoods, KY Date and time: July 4, 2014 between 20:30 and approximately 22:30, July 5 apprx. 21:00 – 22:00 In Flatwoods, Kentucky I usually take an hour long walk in the evening for fitness reasons. I decided I would take a slightly shorter walk this night because I was getting started so late and didn't want to walk in the dark too much. After making my preparations, I began my walk at about 20:40. The sun was setting very low in the west. I was standing on the corner of Argillite Road and Bellefonte Road when I saw the first anomalous objects. The time was approximately 21:00 and the sky was still light, but darkening. The objects were in the sky in the distance in the direction of the Flatwoods City Building beyond Super Quick. There were two objects moving slowly towards the direction of Russell, to the east. They appeared spherical in the distance and I thought they were odd because their appearance and behavior didn't match to a plane or a helicopter. They were not shaped like a plane, appearing vaguely spherical in the distance and were moving far too slowly to be planes but faster than a balloon would normally travel. Both objects appeared to be dark gray or black in the distance. The lead object had a light on it of an amber/red color that appeared to come from the bottom of the object. The object following behind it was unlit. Many in the neighborhood were setting off fireworks due to the 4th of July. Many were large type exploding in the air with very loud booms and sparklers and wizzers coming out at 200 to 400 feet up. On arriving home, my father remarked to me that he saw two objects to the east over the Armco Steel Plant (located in Russell, KY, to the east on the Ohio River) moving east to west. A few minutes later as I was standing in the driveway watching fireworks, an anomalous red light flew over the house at a high speed from the north horizon towards the south. After passing directly over the area it dimmed slightly, then lit up fully again, then dimmed once more until it could no longer be seen. I called to my father who was watching fireworks on the back porch and he come out with binoculars. About five minutes later, an object of similar configuration did the same, and a few minutes after that another one came. This happened numerous times. This time, I was able to get a better look at the object through the set of binoculars and could see that there was a dark solid mass of some kind attached to the light. The light appeared to be moving under this dark object which appeared vaguely round or spherical from my point of view. It was at this point that I made the mental connection back to the anomalous objects I saw during my walk. I realized that I had had a daylight sighting of two of these strange spheroid objects, one of which was shining an orange/red light from its lower part and the other of which was not. When I moved the binoculars down, I could still see the dark outline of this object as it flew quickly over the house, so it must have been very close. I would estimate it to have been 30-40 ft. across if it were at an elevation of 1500 – 2000 ft. If it were at this size and elevation it must have been moving completely silently at a speed of about 200-300 kts. All of the objects in this series moved in! a straight line at this speed from horizon to horizon. They made no heading changes but they appeared to dip in altitude as they approached the area and then climb and fade as they came over or passed it. After this first series of objects had flown directly over the area, another object came in a similar direction from the north, but was flying over an area slightly to the east us rather than directly over us as the previous objects had done. This object exhibited the most atypical and dramatic behavior of all the objects sighted. It appeared to descend and dim its orange/red light, appearing to fade as the others had, but I could still discern the fuzzy outline of a dark spheroid object in the darkness. Instead of totally fading and climbing back up, it slowed down and suddenly lit up in a brilliant fluorescent blue-green green color before descending rapidly and going out of view to the southeast within what seemed to be only a mile or so. We did not see this object again after it did this. After this happened, a few more of these strange objects appeared over the house in the same course as the previous series, but eventually the activity tapered off after about 22:30 and the objects were not seen again that night. My father and I remained watching for them for a period of about an hour and a half more but saw no more of these anomalous objects. No sound or noise of any kind could be heard from any of the unidentified objects. During the course of this UFO encounter, we observed three brightly lit objects which appeared to be satellites. Their direction of travel was approximately, one east to west, one north to south, and one south to north. Planes were observed flying overhead during this incident with red, green, white and strobe lights. In the course of the incident we managed to capture photographic evidence of the objects, but they are low quality due to the fact that we were taking pictures of distant objects at night with cameras that were not meant for nighttime use. The next night, July 5th, my father, mother, and grandmother were all out watching fireworks from neighborhood again (the same type as the night of the 4th). In about a similar time frame as the incident of the previous night, more objects of the same kind seen on the night of the 4th were sighted by me, my father, and mother. I also managed to capture a photograph of one of the objects that appeared this night. The direction or travel was from the northeast horizon towards southwest I kept watch outside the house the next night, the 6th, in case more objects would show themselves, but aside from a dim red light in the distance to the west which faded rapidly, I had no sighting comparable to the previous night's.

Me and my brother were out side of our house and we seen a orange sphere traveling west to east. We watched it for about 30 seconds and it slowly fizzled out. 15 seconds later we seen another one following the same exact path and fizzled out at the same place. This happened 3 more times.

Snellville, GA
The area park across from City Hall, in Snellville, GA, was packed full of people enjoying a variety of food vendors, bands, and festivities, before the crowning event fireworks display a little later in the evening. I was standing in line to buy an ice cream when I noticed something out of the corner of my eye. Looking up, I saw two red glowing orbs moving very slowly towards us. There was no sound - although if there were, I probably wouldn’t have heard it above the music – just a gentle pulse of warm light. I asked the boy in front of me what he thought they were and he just shrugged. The orbs then stopped and just hung in the sky for a couple of minutes and then, moments later, the two objects took off in the direction from which they came at what seemed to be warp speed because in a millisecond they had become just two tiny points of light before disappearing. I’m not sure if anyone else saw them or not as I didn’t see anyone else besides myself and the boy looking up.

West Richland, WA
My husband and I were sitting on our deck the evening of 4 Jul, 2014, enjoying the fireworks going off around the neighborhood when we saw an orange round sphere the size of an apple coming from the west. We are sky watchers and enjoy looking for anything in the night sky, i.e. satellites, airplanes, stars, and the moon phases, so we recognized immediately that we were observing something very different. As we watched it slowing, silently come towards us, my husband said, “What could that be?” We speculated this and that but really was at a loss as to what it could be. I mentioned maybe it was a drone but there were no navigational lights as required by the FAA at night, just a soft orange glow traveling in a deliberate path obviously not just something drifting in the wind. It was low, about the height of the fireworks that were going off, lower than a small airplane but higher than the treetops. As it came adjacent to where we were watching, it made a 45 degree right turn toward the south. A couple of minutes later another one came from the east and also made a left turn to the south as it came adjacent to our position. A few minutes later, one came back from the south, either one of the first two returning or a different one and it continued to the left over our house and to the north out of sight. When the next one came into view, I excitedly ran and got my camera and took pictures of the rest that came into sight from several different angles to the others. In total there were seven and the last one stopped and made a 45 degree turn upward and disappeared out of sight. I could find no information online suggesting what these objects could be. I did a search on YouTube and found some videos of exactly the same objects we saw.

We were on our back deck night of July 4, 2014, when I noticed a strange round red light in the sky. It made no noise and did not blink like helicopters or airplanes. It was a constant light moving at a casual pace across the night sky. Time was about 9:10 or 9:15 PM. There were 2 other people with me and I pointed it out to them. It was moving from North to South. Then 2 more of these "orbs" appeared. Several more after that ... they were following each other. And then 3 or 4 more appeared. I believe I saw a total of 8 to 10 of them.

Rohnert Park, CA
On July 4th, 2014, at about 8:50pm, in Rohnert Park, Ca., I went outside to take my dog out for a bike ride in the neighborhood. I could hear fireworks going off so I was standing in my driveway looking at the sky to see if I could spot any fireworks before we embarked on our ride. The sky was overcast with cloud cover so I couldn't make out any stars yet and I couldn't really see anything BUT cloud cover. If there was a plane in the sky, I guarantee I would not have been able to see it. It was that overcast. Right when I got out into the driveway, I looked towards the east (the direction of where I take my dog on her nightly run) and immediately saw a bright red sphere in the sky, slowly moving/hovering. I thought it was strange because it was SO overcast- it stood out because it was the only thing visible in the eastern sky besides cloud cover that I could see. It was NOT a firecracker or firework. I saw fireworks later in the evening and they were nothing! like this. The red sphere was large- about the same size as the sphere I'd seen on New Years Day of this year at 12:05am. About the size of Jupiter x 3. The sighting only lasted about 30 seconds. It stood out as a bright red orb, it hovered, and pulsed, about 25 degrees from the horizon (low). Then it began to slowly descend, and then it began to flicker out like a candle would. The red color started to get dimmer and dimmer before it disappeared completely- exactly like a candle would when it burns out. Or when a light bulb is at it's end. It "flickered out" is the best description I can give. I immediately knew that this was unusual because of how overcast the sky was. It was completely silent- no noise at all.

Panama City Beach, FL
On July 4th, 2014, at approximately 8:30 pm, I witnessed a ufo fly over me. I was standing on the beach between the Sandpiper Beacon Beach Resort located at 17403 Front Beach Road in Panama City Beach, Fl. 32413 and Landmark Holiday Beach Resort 17501 Front Beach Rd, Panama City Bch, FL 32413. I was facing the gulf (south) watching fireworks that were on both sides of me. I was watching the ones to the left of me when a friend said "look at that". I turned to my right and saw a ufo approximately 20 feet in diameter, spherical, glowing orange, the outside surface texture was not frozen solid, but had small waves on it. However it was not transparent. It was traveling from west to east. The ufo was between me and Emerald Isle Beach Resort (Emerald Isle Resort stands 23 stories tall) when I first saw it. I judged its size and speed (about 60 mph) against the Emerald Isle Resort and Landmark Holiday Beach Resort, and Sandpiper Beacon Beach Resort. I saw it large for about 3 seconds, (from the Emerald Isle Resort and Sandpiper Beacon Beach Resort.) then in about one second it traveled about 2 miles east to around pier park (approximately 7,200 mph) and stopped. It seemed to go straight along the coastline. After that initial sighting, there were multiple lights in the sky (not from the fireworks). The spherical lights were orange and red. They would sometimes fly in formation, and other times go away or towards each other. There is no way they can be lanterns or airplanes. They moved to fast and quickly went in opposite directions.

Salem, OR
It looked like a white metallic ball to the north and it was heading to the south-east at a fairly good rate of speed. After about 8 minutes it stopped and and moved in a jagged serpentine manner in that location for a few minutes. Then it continued on to the south-east until it was close to the area of the sky where the moon was located. At that time it appeared to split into 2 separate spheres for maybe 20 seconds. Then it began moving back to the north as one sphere. During the movement to the north, 2 separate jets went by heading to the south. Both times the sphere disappeared for a second or two then reappeared on its same trajectory. When it got to about the same area that it was in when we first noticed it, it disappeared.

Today while my dad and brother were playing catch they noticed a small spherical object shining in the blue sky. They called me outside and its funny because I was watching the X-Files at the time and I went outside to see what the fuss was about and i look up in the sky and there was a bright shiny object. I watched it for a couple seconds then ran inside to get my camera to take some pictures of it. I dont know how to upload pictures on here but i have them if someone wants to see them. Anyways I took a couple pictures of them and then watched the object for about 2-3 minutes and the object seemed to move for a couple seconds then stop and then start to move again and so on. So then looked down at my camera for about 5 seconds to turn it off and I looked up and the object was gone. Im not jumping to any conclusions about it being an alien but it was definitely a UFO. I looked up if it was possible to see satellites in daylight but a lot of the websites and! results all said that iridium flares are possible but very uncommon. also the object was a sphere and it was not long like the iridium flares. Maybe it was some sort of drone or military surveillance aircraft but i do not know.
