I noticed one bright orange red circular object traveling slow. Then a minute later another, and another minute another. All three disappeared

Chesapeake Beach, MD
Last night, I saw this circular object with blue, red and white lights up in the sky. This aircraft stayed stationary although it seemed to rotate or it could have been the lights rotating in motion. I first sighted it around 11:30 pm while I was out on my deck for a smoke. I kept watching this aircraft for 20 minutes, and then I went to continue watching a movie. I checked outside before going to bed around 00:45 and aircraft was still there.

Boca Raton, FL
Object round in shape pulsating red - whitish yellow lights. Two Green lights would randomly flash outwards from right side. Object would stand still in sky, then move or dart sideways then downward, sideways, then backwards in quick movements. I took video of object. We have not seen the video, but we wonder whether the object might have been a "twinkling" star. PD

We were really curious so we got out the binoculars and these crafts were doing crazy things flashing reds, orange and green moving in and out of formations. I have never seen anything like it before, truly amazing!

Paphos (Cyprus), Cyprus
We saw a static circular disc in sky flashing colours of red, green, blue. Lit up in a bullseye pattern ie small red circle at centre followed by bigger green circle and finally larger blue circle. Appeared to rotate on its axis to show line of red flights. All flashing was in a repeated sequence. It had the brightness of an LED light. Static for approx 5 mins then descended rapidly in a random zigzag pattern and dropped out of view. When you look at the static object on video it appears to move rapidly but this was not perceptible to the naked eye. There was an aura of light around the object, no smoke or cloud. Clear night with no cloud. 3 witnesses aged 48, 43 and 21. We are on holiday in Cyprus and very hot here hence why we were outside our villa. We all videoed it on our phones. Not into UFOs so astonishing

While skywatching at 8 pm I saw a bright white light traverse the sky from horizon to horizon. It travelled extremely fast at about 400 to 500 ft above the ground. The duration of the sighting was about 5 seconds. The light seemed to have a slight arc downward as it passed about two houses south of my home. It ocurred so quickly that I was unable to do anything but stare as it whizzed by, silently. There was no discernible structure, and it didn't blink, or flash. It just vanished to the east going below the tree line.

My wife and I were both outside on our patio, watching an approaching storm that was fast approaching from the west. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed a round object moving across the sky no higher than 75 to a 100 feet up. It was dark in color, made no sound , and it was not a balloon. It moved in a straight line, in a south to north direction. With the the strong winds blowing in from the west and switching to the east, there was no way this was a balloon floating across the sky. It kept the the same speed, height, and just went straight across the sky. I have been in the Military and am quite familiar with my aircraft. I can honestly say I have never seen this kind of craft before.

While at the NYS fair on September 1st, I saw a glowing red/ orange glowing light moving across the sky. I pointed it out to my nine year old son who also directed the attention of another woman to the object. She assumed it was a lantern, but I have never seen anything like this before. We were sitting on the bleachers to the right of the youth center, facing towards the Ferris wheel. It was moving fairly quickly and hovered for a few seconds before moving towards 690. (It was traveling in a South East direction).

My husband and I were sitting by the bonfire, looking up in the sky, when we noticed 2 orange objects coming from the south heading northwest. They disappeared in the northwest clouds when 2 more appeared and did the same thing. We seen a total of 11 orange objects within a half hour period. They all went the same way and disappeared, there was no engine sound or anything, for that matter. I took my cell phone and tried to record it and one did turn out somewhat. My husband and I never seen anything like this in our lifetime. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) I have an error on my report It was August 31st, 2014, not August 2001. I must not have paid attention to the entire e-mail and how I replied to it. I do have a short video that I can send but you can't really see it that good. sorry for the error on my part but was just found my report and it was way wrong on the date. ((END ADDENDUM)) We wonder whether the date shown above may be flawed. We have written the witness, requesting confirmation of the August 1st, 2001, date. PD

Saline, MI
Driving westbound on Michigan Ave from Saline there were fireworks going off 15 minutes prior. Then when reaching Saline And Clinton border, I see 3 amber colored circles in a triangle pattern. There were not red or flashing similar to airplane lights, but more of a glimmer. The three amber/orange shapes were in a triangle pattern for several minutes and then formed a straight vertical line. I was pulled over watching at this point. They stood in a vertical line for a minute or so and then phased out one by one. We have corrected the date above, to reflect a sighting in 2014. PD

Sitting outside in our back yard and witnessed a red-orange sphere, making no sound, traveling from the south to the north. Because of the way it flickered, we imagined it was a candle fed lantern, but as there is little to no wind near the ground and in the upper atmosphere (the clouds are close to stationary), I can't imagine that a lantern could cover the amount of distance this sphere travelled in the amount of time it did. I do not know what altitude or the size this object was so that makes it hard to estimate how fast it was moving but even if it were small and even if it was close I would estimate it was moving hundreds of miles per hour. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Hi Peter, Thank you for your response. Yes, the sighting was yesterday 08/31/14. As far as reporting this to the news, I am really not interested in the publicity. I was just mostly interested to see if anyone else had seen the same thing we did. Thought it might be an interesting addition to your sight as well. Thanks, ((name deleted)) ((END ADDENDUM))

My husband and I were looking at the stars, when all the sudden in the NW direction of the sky, we spotted this round object that was huge, much larger then an airplane and going much faster....it looked as though it was on fire or a burning object, it was a bright red-orange glow with black edges...it just kept going and going until it was out of sight headed North. We were both in shock, never have seen anything like this. We did not have a camera and didn't have time to get a pic, we were in such aahhh of it. It was like a huge fireball rushing through the sky. But it was HUGE and must have traveled hundreds a minute. It also seemed to appear out of no where, it was just there.. Then shot across the sky. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she sounded to us to be both sincere, and sober-minded. PD

So, about 2 weeks ago, my husband and I went outside to let our dogs out. It was probably 11:30pm. We noticed these weird balls of light in the sky. There was a light cloud cover and you could tell they were above the clouds. At first, not knowing what we were seeing we thought maybe it was northern lights, but we were seeing weird balls of light zooming around because of the clouds?? So we got in our car and decided to drive down to a clearing, because we live in the woods, and see if we could see it better. So we drove about 2 miles down the road and parked at the clearing. The lights were gone, and it was dead silent. All of the sudden the lights appeared in front of our eyes and started moving around. Sometimes they would blink, and sometimes seemed to move in a pattern together. We thought someone was messing with us. We could not believe what we were seeing! Then all of the sudden.. one by one.. the balls formed into one big ball!. It sort of pulsed and just sat there in the sky for about 20 seconds. Then one by one the balls came out of the clouds and went down into the woods! NO JOKE!!! You could see a light beam coming down with each one of them, until they all went down into the woods, probably a quarter mile from our car. I jumped in my car because I was terrified! And sat there for a few seconds, then jumped back out and stood there and stared. The whole time you couldn’t hear anything. Then one by one the balls shot out of the woods back into the sky and sort of disa! ppeared. I was so scared, and my husband was also, that we got in our car and started speeding home. We couldn’t believe what we saw. On the way home they reappeared and almost followed us. We got home, couldn’t see them, again everything was so still outside. We went in, confused, and let the dogs back out. They appeared again almost above our house. These lights, 5 of them, shooting around in the sky. We took the dogs back in and went back out and just watched them. They moved fast, sometimes together in weird ways, and blinked at times. Finally I went in and came back out and they were gone. I have done tons of research and I see no natural ocurance that could explain this. There wasn’t any lightning that night. What was weird also is that all the dogs out here in the woods were barking. You would hear them way off in the distance. It was all just strange and mind boggling. I did believe in UFO’s before this happened, but never in a million years did I expect to see something so strange. Well, I told the story to a few people, and then today, one of my friends I told messaged me and said there was a guy in the Kalispell, MT, yard sale, saying he had also saw something strange and was wondering if anyone else had seen anything weird in the sky. I’m tying to contact the guy now. I know what I saw sounds completely unbelievable. I don’t expect anyone to believe me! I’d be willing to take a lie detector test on this! It was no joke and my husband and I are still confused and have no explanation. We tried to take video and pictures but couldn't capture what we were seeing.

I woke up around 5:30am, looked out my window. In the ESE, I saw a very bright white light with flashes of green and red. I thought it was a jet until it started moving in very erratic movements (circles, very jerking motion). I got my binoculars, it looked like a circle with four lights (like a flashlight beam) coming out the top and sides. I watched until it went behind some trees, about half an hour.

((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Yes it was evening. Friday night of 8/29/14 I am not good at describing things. I have never seen anything like it before. I live on 39th st and I was looking west as if it was 40th st. It was cloudy, but the lights were bright enough that you can see them through the clouds. The motion was circular anf speed was pretty fast. It had three white shaped circles. When it would circle around one or two would disappear and reappear. I hope this helps. ((END ADDENDUM))

I saw this glowing ball in the sky behind my house at some distance. It was some color red-yellow and glowed like a fire and cast a glow up into a space above it. It traveled smoothly and not too quickly across the sky in an easterly direction away from the ocean. I went outside and watched it as until its path was prevented from view due to trees. I went out into the front of my house in the street and watched it proceed off in to the east and increasing in height. It never changed speed and the color and glow never changed. I watched it until it disappeared amongst the stars very very high in the sky in the distance. There was no noise at all. No engine sound. There was no wind at the time. I have no explanation what this was that I saw. It was not a hot air balloon as it moved too fast and there are no hot air balloons in this area ever. It came from the ocean direction as I live just 4 houses from the ocean. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she seemed to us to be quite sincere and sober-minded. We suspect that she is a very good witness. PD

I was out in my backyard, noticing the sky. I looked up at what appeared to be a light or star like light in the sky very high in the sky. It traveled from an eastern direction and moved toward western direction very slowly then stopped once, continued for a little bit then stopped directly above me. After the first long pause, I noticed an aircraft (what appeared to be a plane) traveling toward the same direction as the ufo was going. The plane then veered of adjacent toward the northwestern trajectory. During this point I was lying down on the concrete. The object was shining brightly and stationery at this time. I then noticed the clouds coming in and it became a lot fainter. I decided to come inside and report this. I then called the National UFO Reporting Center. I went back outside and it was gone. That is it.P.S.Just to note I am former military and I am pretty good at distinguishing an aircraft verses something else.
