Was out for a walk with my girlfriend we were in front of the itt school on man o war Blvd drive she said look and when I looked up I saw a huge ball shaped transparent sphere and I could distinkly tell it was a perfect circle it made no noise nothing at all and it was really close like maybe four stories above the ground we both seen it and it saw us we waved at it we were both a little shaken and not wanting to believe what we have seen no lights it's like you could see the clouds behind it through its entire shape been scared to report it because we didn't want to be labeled two nuts who sees transparent flying craft it didn't make any noise at all to myself it wasn't anything I have ever seen before and in my belief it was of alien origin and I still believe that it was not from this planet. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

I was ((flying)) a cessna 150 from east to west at 8500 feet, when I noticed a bright metallic red object off the left side of my nose at about my 11 o'clock. It very rapidly sped toward me, and when it seemed to be about 30 feet off my left wing, it seemed to slow down considerably. Once it transitioned to about my 7 o'clock, I lost it in the morning sun. Very surreal experience for a pilot. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I thought it was a Chinese Lantern at first but it then became less bright as moved away upwards, vertically towards the South, almost at 45 degrees away from my view point which left a single thin orange trail (line).

North Myrtle Beach, SC
While sitting on the North Grand Strand beach during a full moon outside our condo, viewing a totally clear sky at the time, 3 red-orange orbs appeared in a triangular pattern, 2 arranged horizontal from each other, and one directly vertical from right horizontal orb. The vertical orb just disappeared, and then the 2 horizontal orbs remained. Third orb reappeared in different location, now directly vertical from left horizontal orb. Then all three orbs vanished suddenly. The entire event stayed visible for about 25 seconds. About 3 minutes later the 2 horizontally arranged orbs reappeared, flickered on and off back and forth then disappeared again. Their location had changed more southernly in the sky. About 7-8 minutes later four red-orange orbs appeared in a square pattern, several flickered on and off, then all disappeared. These were now further out in the sky above the ocean and appeared smaller because the distance had increased. Last sighting was about 5 minutes later with just 2 red-orange orbs appearing horizontal again then disappearing. All four sightings were very linear in arrangement and precise in the lights. There were no tails of light as comets or flares produce. The lights were a definite red-orange that simply turned on and off in a very distinct fashion. Their location was definitely in the sky and not in the ocean or on any ocean bound vessel. All were located left to the full moon and the red-orange color was vibrant.

Myrtle Beach, SC
A tiny red-orange sphere appeared just above the horizon over the Atlantic Ocean in Myrtle Beach. There was one sphere and then there were two red-orange spheres, then three, and then four. There were at least three red-orange spheres that were vertically aligned with each other. Then one by one, they faded away.

Murrieta, CA
This sighting occurred on June 10, 2014 at approximately 0:50 I was driving north on the 15 freeway, on a three mile stretch of road between California Oaks, and Clinton Keith. It was seen shooting north across the sky. With a quick glance I first thought it was a shooting star until it came to a sudden and complete stop in the middle of the sky. After this occurred I gave the object another look, this is when I noticed the actual size of the orb, it was made of pure white light. There was only one orb seen at a size much to large to be an aircraft, the light did not flicker or dim, it stayed exactly where it had stopped and did not bob up and down or move side to side at all. After staying in place for approximately 45 seconds, it shot off again this time at an unfathomable speed within a few tenths of a second it was out of visible range. One interesting thing is that after looking at maps and trying to see where the orb came from in such a hurry. Almost exactly the direction it appeared from is where Camp Pendleton military base is located.

My family and I were taking a walk when we noticed a super bright orange orb/sphere in the sky. It was a steady (not blinking) brilliant light that was unlike any type of plane/helicopter/star I’ve even seen. It was moving across the sky pretty quickly. It moved from South to Southwest. I pulled out my phone and was able to take a video of the object. It was a cloudy night, so I saw it move across the sky then I was able to see it in front of a group of clouds. As it continued to move in a Southwest direction it eventually disappeared behind the clouds and I didn’t see it again. Total time of sighting was approx. 1-2 minutes. About 10 minutes after that I saw what appeared to be a military aircraft coming from the direction of where we saw the sphere heading. My guess would be that the military craft pursued the sphere, then when it broke pursuit it turned around and appeared to be heading towards Whiteman Air Force Base.

Puyallup, WA
I couldn’t sleep no matter how hard I tried, although I am a psychic medium and suffer from frequent sensitivity related insomnia, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was being watched/spoken to in ways I have never felt/heard. I went outside around 2 am with my boyfriend, who I forcefully woke up to come with me as I smoked a cigarette when I witnessed 2 Reddish orbs slowly orbiting through the night sky about 10 minutes apart, in parallel areas of the sky. No noise. They weren’t like satellites or like shooting stars…I stared at them until they disappeared behind the clouds surrounding the moon. They weren’t much larger in size than the normal bright white stars' they were moving around, stayed in one line of orbit-didn’t bounce around or make any turns. No blinking, no light trail, no shift in apparent size. When I say they were moving extremely slow I mean I watched each one go by for over 2 minutes each. They both closely resembled mars in shape and color.

Just after dusk, saw a glowing reddish-orange sphere about the size of a small car, suspended approximately 150 to 200 feet above next door neighbor’s house for about 2-3 minutes. The object made no noise. It moved higher into the sky while heading west and then turned northwest toward the local airport at about 50-60 miles per hour.

After a firework show at Raystown Lake, my friend and I started to look at the stars. We then saw the first orb which was flickering and orange in color. The orb floated north and then flickered and disappeared. We then saw four more additional orbs coming from different locations, floating and disappearing the same way. We noticed a faint beam radiating from the bottom of the objects in the sky. The glowing orbs were silent and they gradually floated across the sky before they gained speed and disappeared.

Streaming in formation over horizon for about 20 minutes. Have pictures and video. Engineer and a Dr/Scientist observed with 4 other people. All dumbfounded. Too large for incendiary or weather balloons. Also some in parallel formations with 5 or 7 all moving at same speed. Others in a vertical line, trailing each other.

UFO Sighting: A friend and I visited another friend on the 8th floor balcony of his apartment in Portsmouth, Virginia. The apartment complex is called The Heights at Old Towne. The balcony faces to the northeast and overlooks the Elizabeth River, which was host to the Harbor Fest Celebration on the night of June 7, 2014. The fireworks were due to start at 21:00, so we decided to get the best view from the balcony. The barges which sat in the river that launched the fireworks were in our clear sight. The fireworks would only come from the barges in the Elizabeth River. At approximately 21:45, I spotted an object slowly crossing the Elizabeth River in the sky above us. The object moved at a cruising speed along a deliberate flight path. The object composed of a burning flame in what we considered its ‘front’, given that it traveled in the direction of the burning flame. The flame itself was large, and similar to that of a burning candle wick in that the flame burned strongest at the bottom, and flickered as it trailed vertically upward. Directly behind the flame was a translucent white orb, which kept a fixed shape as it traveled intact with the flame. My two friends also noticed the object, and we deliberated as to what it could be. The object flew overhead approximately 200-300 feet above us, making it difficult to gauge the object’s dimensions. That said, I would estimate the object to be of similar size to that of a small hot air balloon. A hot air balloon this was not. There was no basket, there were no wires or visible passengers. The flame at one point appeared to be under the translucent orb, but only because the object passed overhead. Even so, there was no mechanism that could be seen connecting the two. The object moved soundlessly as well. It continued west toward Effingham Street. When it passed over the balcony of the loft, we lost sight. The fireworks started some 20 minutes later. This was no rogue firework that malfunctioned in flight, this was no hot-air balloon, this was not an aerial unmanned drone. This was not a meteorite. I will not disclose our branches of service, but I will come forward with the fact that all three witnesses are active members of the U.S. military. After much deliberation amongst ourselves, we all agree that the flying object was not manmade. In the interest of our own security and the integrity of our military obligations, we wish to remain anonymous. However, I am willing to give an interview. ((first name of witness deleted)) We believe that the report probably was submitted by a gentleman, who telephoned us over the Hotline. He sounded to us to be quite eloquent, serious-minded, and reliable. We suspect that his report is quite accurate. PD

Seattle, WA
At 11:50 am on June 7th, 2014, while laying on a lounge chair on my back deck, I noticed a round metallic object in the sky to the east of me. It looked to be just below some white clouds and was moving slowly to the South. The object appeared to be over the south end of Boeing field off the I-5. I observed it for approximately 3-4 minutes, as it moved to the South over South Center shopping area, at which time it disappeared into the clouds. At one point, while I was observing the object, a commercial plane flew by from the North and looked to be fairly close to the object. I did capture this sighting on my IPhone at full zoom (466Megabits). The object was round in shape, metallic looking and appeared to reflect the sun. I will also say that, to me, it appeared to move in a deliberate fashion from the North to the South. Conditions: Daytime, about noon Mostly sunny day A few big white clouds Unobstructed views to the East, South and West I would be happy to share the video and speak with anyone who is interested, as long as my name remains anonymous. We spoke via telephone with the source of the report, and he sounded to us to be both eloquent, and serious-minded, in his description of the sighting. PD

Springfield, OH
Witnesses: male 64 female 59. Male witness- saw 4 round lights suddenly appear from the southeast, traveling northwest. Bright orange center almost red with a halo of bright white light. Steady on lamination not flashing. They made a slow path way path across the sky the turned due west as a military cargo plane flew toward them. Suddenly 4 more of the same glowing spheres appeared from the same path the previous 4 had taken. I ran from the street to my front door to get my wife. She followed me and saw 6 of the 8. The other 2 had disappeared. As we watched and attempted to photo with our iPhones, the spheres disappeared in the sky. They did not appear to shut off or speed away. They just vanished. I have lived near the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base most all of my life. I have never seen anything like I saw last night. My wife made the same comment. No flashing lights as you would expect to see from a aircraft. The pictures we took show only 4 white dots. They made no sound.

Mentor on the Lake, OH
Around 10pm, I saw two gold/red/orange object flying at about 30 degrees high over Lake Erie. The were moving from East to West. I called my wife outside and she immediately went back inside after seeing the objects. They flew behind a tree and by the time I ran to my front yard to get a better look around the tree, they were gone. About 5 minutes later I saw another identical object taking the same course. I went inside to get my cell phone to try to capture a video and when I can back outside the craft was gone.

Driving to work and saw a burgundy colored spherical floating object. It was about 100 yards up, 8 feet in diameter and stationary. Stopped to take a closer look at nearby parking lot. Looked for wires or advertising, there was none. Watched it for about 2 minutes, and went to work. It was gone later that day.

Rapid City, SD
At 2132 hours on 06/05/2014 a group of six adults and one minor child, a group I was membered to for a bar-b-que, witnessed several extraordinary lights in the sky. I have no history of mental illness, do not drink alcohol nor do I used controlled substances. The following events concluded at 2243 hours on the same evening. The first light showed up at 2132 and appeared to be a meteor entering the atmosphere from the eastern shy from Rapid City, SD. Initially, the light streak seemed to grow into a blue and white ball of light. The altitude of the light was no more than a 1000 feet and probably about 500 feet. It traveled due west at an impressive speed. Then, as it passed over head while I rapidly crossed the car park, with my eyes trained on the light, as to have a longer look, there was a loud pop that echoed off of the adjacent building. The light speed out of sight as I realized I could use my NOAA application to try to view the path on radar. Using NOAA double Doppler, reflectivity loop, I tract the object as it passed over Idaho and into Oregon. At which point it fall below the radar's minimum ceiling making the landing within 20 miles of John Day, OR. Within a minute of the meteor disappearing of or the radar another member of our bar-b-que party proclaimed, "What the hell is that?!" All seven of us came to him as he pointed into the sky, saying, "That's a ball of light!" I immediately retrieved my binoculars from my vehicle. Spotting the light with assistance, I observed the light traveling over Rapid City to the ENE in a weaving pattern. The altitude of this light was about 50,000 feet. When this light vacated my binocular's ability to view, several jets were spotted in the SE sky over Rapid City by another member of our group. As I trained my binoculars on the jet I could see that it was a group of five F-14 fighter jets. Only the lead jet had its lights on. I told the others, "get your binoculars if you have them." Another member of our group did retrieve his binoculars in time to see the rapidly moving jets as they traversed the sky and out of our sight As the evening passed we noticed two other similar weaving light. All three appeared to be only large balls of light. No wings, no tails or noses were seen on the balls of light by the three of us with binoculars. That is in contract to the fighter jets that has clearly distinguishable noses, wings and tails to the point that two of us believed them to be F-14s. At 2038 hrs., the last lights were seen. These lights were significantly different from the others in that they were groups of dim lights within the boundaries of slightly brighter lights. There were three triangular, formations of brighter lights that traveled slowly from south to north. Within the peripheral boundaries of each triangular pattern were 18 less blight balls of light that seemed to travel freely within the triangular, more brightly lit spheres' boundaries. Suddenly, as unexpectedly as they appeared, they disappeared, as if a cloak had been engaged. There were no more lights as our party peered into the night's shy well into the morning. We have corrected the date above, to reflect a sighting on June 5th, 2014. PD

Tulsa, OK
Above some buildings in downtown. 12 orange spheres flying about what seemed randomly. They were giving off light, I was able to see them faintly from my front porch more than an hour later. They seemed to hover above one building but flew about randomly in a large radius. They would die below the roof of the building. The sky has no clouds, and they almost seemed like flying orange stars. A co-worker and I both stared in awe at the phenomena Source of report indicates that the date is approximate. PD

Witch Wells (rural AZ), AZ
My home is off-grid in an area known as Witch Wells where my closest neighbor is several miles away and the nearest town is about 30 miles away, other than that it is thousands of square miles of high desert with next to no light pollution at night. I have seen a number of UFOs in my life and spent 10 years in the military, so I have seen just about every kind of aircraft there is. On the 5th of June this year I went outside in the front of my house with my dog to have a cigarette. It was about 20:20 in the evening and the moon was about half full. At this time there were no planes or any aircraft of any kind in the sky which is rare here because I see aircraft of all kinds including military everyday. I was facing towards the southern horizon and was just star gazing. I tilted my head looking almost straight up but still more towards a direction of South-South-East. I was observing what I thought was a cluster of stars until one of the "stars" began moving at a very fast rate of speed and heading towards the southern horizon. The object looked exactly like a star, same size, same shape and same brightness. However it was moving and after a few minutes as it continued at the same speed it slowly faded out until it had disappeared. Now I have seen satellites a number of times before and even the International Space Station once but this was neither. It was not long after that in the same small area of the night sky which I had seen the first a second began to move in the same exact way as the first. It was moving in the same direction and again looked exactly like a star and was moving in what appeared to be the same speed. I began to question myself and began looking around for planes but there were none for comparison and these two "stars" made no sound. The second object then at the same rate of speed faded until it was gone as the first had done. Both act exactly in the same way. Then I got lucky and did see a meteor seconds later which gave me a good reference. The shooting star had a tail and was gone in a millisecond so that ruled out that possibility. Then planes flying at high altitude began to fly by making the sounds of jet engines and I could clearly see there navigation lights blinking so that was ruled out. Over the course of the next hour I witnessed 10 of these same exact objects that all behaved the same way, looked the same, traveling at the same speed and fading until they disappeared the same way. The only thing that happened with the 10 objects that was not consistent was that the eighth one moved due North and the tenth one moved due East the all the others moved due South. They all had been stationary and looked exactly like stars. I really thought I was looking at a small cluster of stars but after an hour that cluster was gone. Now I do not believe these could have been satellites in Low Earth Orbit or even High Earth Orbit because of the way they behaved. If it is possible that these objects were in High Earth Orbit and were perhaps part of some secret government space project I can only estimate they were traveling anywhere between 40,000 and 60,000 miles per hour and were being operated by someone or something. That of course is only a theory. I do wish I had other witnesses but I live only with my dog. My dog, ((name deleted)), did act a bit peculiar during this event but I think she was only reacting based on how I was reacting. After this amazing experience I went inside and looked on all major astronomical websites to see if there had been any reported meteor showers that could be seen in Northwest Arizona and I found nothing. I again wanted to just make sure it was not some natural event. Yesterday and today I looked on all major UFO reporting websites and found no such reports that saw what I saw. I thought the Ghost ship witnessed by myself, a crewman and an entire flight crew on a U.S. Coast Guard HH-60 Jayhawk in the Willipa Bay, Washington, was strange enough when I was stationed at Cape Disappointment. However this one certainly equals it.
