We noticed a round object with numerous lights hovering over the capitol area which didn't look unlike a group of stars. Then another circular object, same size and lighting structure very slowly pulled up next to it almost as if it were a satellite. When they were next to each other the newer one sped up and was well in front of the first one, then sped off to the north at incredible speed.

Then we saw something pass over that was flying lower and faster than the ISS and was much brighter, faster & looked to be much lower. There were no blinking lights or other colors. I know what the differences are between difference (looking) meteors. I've seen many; however, nothing that looked like this or as bright. I waited to post this, to see the "real" ISS pass over (which states that it will pass over and be seen within a 2 minute time span. About a week later, our notifications of times/dates for the next fly over. We definitely saw it (the ISS) & what we saw less than a week earlier was definitely not the ISS! This object was flying S/SW to N/NE and no sound.

Was walking out of a local walmart. Noticed a person looking up in the sky. I observed two orange fire balls raise off the ground straight into the air, to the south of my location. Once fire balls reached 2000-3000 ft off the ground they quickly burned out. I ran to my car and grabbed my night sky binoculars. Once I focused on the two objects I noticed two very black cylinders floating to the west direction. It may sound dtrange but I have never seen anything so deep in the color black before. Almost metallic blackish. They slowly floated out of my view leaving me puzzeled as to what they were. Much too small to be a plane but too big for a balloon. Both very solid objects.

East Haddam, CT
It appeared to be illuminated white with a light pastel green tint to it. The object left no trail of any sort nor could I hear sound. The size can only be speculated as visually it was approximately 25% of the size of the visual moon at this given time of day, which was fairly large. Could not determine distance, but appeared to be well w/in our atmosphere as it shot across sky on a straight line. I knew immediately that I had seen some sort of UFO, whose origin is the question…. Admittedly a lifelong believer but never a witness until now. It could be “ours” but doubt it. The intent of the E.T.’s is probably the question we might not want the answer to.

I was driving US 1 north in from port saint lucie to ft pierce 4 am(ish)... as I was getting close to the intersection of us 1 and midway rd I saw a bright orange (like a flame) circular thing in the sky. I thought it was the moon going in and out of the clouds and thought it was awfully orange then I realized it was moving east on a slight incline (heading over the ocean) the burning going in and out (don't know if it was because of the clouds I pulled over to get pic it was moving faster than I apparently thought.. I got 2 pics its only visible in the corner of one… I have no idea what it was but it was a beautiful bright burning orange

Around 12:15 noon as i was talking pictures of clouds over the capefear mall i what appears to be 6 (six) objects in my photo. All heading downward leaving what appeared to be a ligh cloudy trail behind. It was over and out of sight before i could really focus on them. Notice in the photo as it (the photos) are blown up in the left upper corner near the darkest clouds two leading objects, followed by two others, then to the right of them two others. There was no sound and i couldn't tell how close or far away they were. I'm emailing the photos so maybe you can tell me what they are. THANKS.

Kearney (near) (Canada), ON · Canada
Hi, I'm a known and acclaimed documentary filmmaker from Montreal Canada. I was at a bonfire on Sand Lake beach when I among up to 5 or so other people i was with saw, and I even recorded video on my vx2100 video camera, UFO's. There were 5 in the beginning. Sand Lake is a small lake near kearney in Northern Ontario. I was visiting a family friend and my dad. It is about a 7 hour drive from Montreal Canada where i live, on the west side of Algonquin park I believe. And it is some distance north of Huntsville. The beach i saw it from was just off of the address 3660 Highway 518. And the UFO's we were looking at were in the slightly North East direction in the air over the woods across the lake, past the east side of the lake. So sometime between 11pm and 12am, I along with a young couple from a house nearby witnessed 5 UFO's. other witnesses came (another young couple i believe and younger 30 something cousin of my Dad's friend). There were 5 lights that had a redish and some white glow on them. They disappeared and came back, only 3-4 came back. I ran to wake up my Dad and his freind who were sleeping together, they didn't want to come since they were sleeping so i also grabbed my vx2100 sony mini dv video camera which is very good in low light and ran to the beach. I caught on Camera only 3 that came back i believe, and they were moving in motions that were very shifty and changing directions going higher or lower. A really strange thing that was also occurring, were green flashes coming from the woods in the areas below and near to them, like lighting flashes but that were coming from the forest as the forest would light up green, and there were no clouds it was a clear night. I'm happy i managed to capture 2-4 of those green flashes on camera also. Though most people with me were in shock and amusement, one suggested maybe they could be drones, but he wasn't sure. But that didn't explain the g! reen flashes below. They disappeared for the second and perhaps last time, i didn't stick around much longer than another 20 minutes to see if the came back. I was happy to capture that, perhaps i should send/sell the footage to a documentary on UFO's or Tv station? or as a last resort put it on youtube if that's not possible. An interesting sidenote: a friend of my sister's who i happen to tell this to also saw objects that had a red glow on the same night as me at roughly the same time, he said he was in Northern Quebec when he saw them perhaps a 5 hour drive from where i was.

I was outside smoking and I looked up at the sky to look at the stars like I always do and I saw this ball of fire. I ran and got my boyfriend in the backyard and he saw it to. We thought maybe it was a hot air balloon or something but it was so low we could tell it wasn't. Just as were studying it.. It vanished like it moved so quickly that it basically vanished. This is the first time either one of us saw something un explainable ever. I was wondering if anyone else saw something like this too.

I WAS SCEPTICLE ABOUT ALL THE REPORTS IN THE MYRTLE BEACH AREA, BUT I HAVE NOW SEEN SOMETHING WITH MY OWN EYE'S. I WOULD HAVE HEARD ENGINE NOISE AT THAT ALTITUDE IF IT WAS CONVENTIONAL AIRCRAFT.

Castle Rock, CO
I was hitting golf balls at the driving range at Red Hawk Ridge, a municipal golf course in Castle Rock, CO. The driving range there is at the base of a butte. The golfers face south to drive balls, looking directly at the butte. The elevation provides for nice views of the town, surrounding landscapes and the Rocky Mountain peaks to the west. The afternoon sky was clear above with some clouds gathering in the west over the mountains. I drove a ball (using a 7-iron) and as it climbed at first it seemed to stop and hover, but I immediately realized I lost track of the ball and my eye picked up another object in the sky. It looked small, round and white like a golf ball, but much higher in the sky. I thought perhaps it was a plane, so I stopped to watch it for a minute. After a minute or so, I realized it couldn’t be a plane because it was not moving forward, it was just hovering. It’s not unusual for hawks to be flying around there, but this was much too high and looked rather inanimate. My gaze wandered to the right (west) where I spotted 3 additional objects just like the original one. There was another “tandem” object – the top part of that object looked like the other 4 and the bottom one looked like a larger version of it. They were connected by a vertical line. To draw it, it would be a small circle directly over a larger one, connected by a line. There was one more object that looked a little more oval and it was red. The four small white objects and the red one surrounded the tandem object. I looked away for minute and when I looked back they were still there. They seemed to hover around for 4-5 minutes, then drift west a little and I lost track of them. Interesting.

A bright red ball of light appeared to float across the sky from East to West. The light traveled very slowly for a few minutes then traveled at a very quick rate of speed, in approx. the same altitude and direction. It then flashed twice and jetted upward disappearing at a very high altitude. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

A young couple were driving home when all of a sudden up ahead just above the tree line they both observed a very unusual bright orange "fluorescent" light which was moving slowly across the sky N-S and right towards them. Overwhelmed they pulled over and observed the object float by. They heard no sound and the object was very stealth and moved like a falling leaf, The center was almost too bright to look at as the object past very close to them, It was large and perfectly round and symmetrical, They noticed the object's path take a couple noticeable directional changes as they observed it for several minutes. The object ascended to the south and disappeared in the night sky. (MUFON 58602)

I saw a perfectly round object enter my line of sight. It came down from the sky at maybe a 70 degree angle. It lasted for about 2 or 3 seconds. Its color was blue-green. I did not see it land but I searched for it at the town square. It made no sound. In the sky, it was maybe the diameter of half the size of the moon. I did not find where it landed. It was moving very fast. I saw this from my truck that I was driving and I was heading east on Highway 70. We believe that the sighting may be of a meteor, but that is only a guess. PD

On August 2, 2014, looking south large round orange object noted hovering in the sky. Thought it might be a planet checked google sky map nothing listed there. Watched with my wife for 90 seconds or so than disappeared. Last night, August 3, 2014, around same time looking west saw same object, this time more brilliant almost looked like a high altitude balloon with fire lighting the sphere. After 60 seconds or so faded and vanished. No picture because I was trying to train binoculars on the object to see it better.

My friend and I were walking along the beach when we seen 4 orange round objects in the lower sky. One went away, came back, then disappeared. They were all moving short spurts in the sky, up, down then laterally, stopping and moving again. Lasted for 5-10 minutes. They were in the sky to the left of Neahkahnie Mountain, not far above the horizon. It ended and we didn't see them again.

My partner and I were out on our patio sitting enjoying the evening as the sun was going down, it was around 8PM and I was smoking a cigar and he was on his iPad. I was looking at some of the wispy clouds turning purplish above us, when I noticed a ball of light approaching below cloud level, around the same height as a helicopter. It was quiet and as it approached, I noticed it sort of shimmered orangish-yellow. It was passing directly over us, and I told my partner, "Look at that, what is that?" He thought it was plane or helicopter at first, but it made no sound and was just a ball of glowing light. "I have no clue, but look over there, there's another one." Just approaching over us was an identical shaped glowing ball of light, not very far behind the first one. They were moving very slowly, almost like they were getting slower and slower the nearer to us they got. We then saw a third appear, all three lights were in a row, almost equal! distance from each other, looking completely the same. The lights weren't pulsing, more like glowing or pulsating, between orangish and a golden yellow. I got up and followed the three lights to the end of the yard, where they became obscured by trees. I tried to find them again but didn't see them anymore. The whole event took less than 10 minutes.

It was nearly sunset, and there was a really nice view in front of me, so i thought of taking a picture of it with my phone. When i opened the camera app and took the picture, i looked again at the view, and a yellow dot was moving slowly vertically across the sky. I tried taking a picture of it, but the phone couldn't get it, then it started moving really quickly, and then vanished in the skyline, tossing a white flare-like object in the sky, which directly disappeared.

Fort Worth, TX
On August 2, 2014, 5:58am I was driving westbound on John T White Rd in east Fort Worth, just off Eastchase Parkway. My wife was in the passenger seat. I witnessed a blue meteor directly through my front windshield just to the left of my rear view mirror. I started to point and tell my wife there was a meteor and then it stopped in place. She asked me why I was pointing at a star and I told her it could not be a star. The object appeared to have come from the northwest and traveled across the sky rapidly like a typical meteor only it stopped suddenly. It stopped in the western portion of the sky about a quarter of the sky up from where the sun would set before I lost visual. There was no fluctuation in the light at all and no tail. There were no blinking lights only solid blue like a bright star. I told no one about this except my wife who was with me. The next day on Facebook a few friends mentioned seeing a blue light in the sky behaving oddly so I knew it was not just a onetime fluke.

Bright white light, round in shape. In space, but too large to be satellite. Moving from both west to east and north to south. usually in pairs. moving very fast at times and completely stopping at times. they were mostly flying in a straight line, but they would do 90 degree turn's or shoot straight up at times too. at one point my son shown a flashlight at one it seemed to come back toward us and shown a dim white beam of light down quite away's away from us. we told him not to do that anymore and we just spent the night watching the show untell we were asleep. the next night we witnessed close to the same activity.
