Auburn, NY
I was standing in my backyard and when I looked up, I saw a solid, bright red, circular object. It was flying at a low altitude and it passed right above me, overhead. The object was traveling south and it was descending at a very slow speed. It appeared to be under intelligent control, it was not free falling or flying erratically. It lasted about a minute and then it faded out to black in the nightime sky and completely disappeared, almost like it had become cloaked by turning invisible. The object had no visible flashing lights,it was only bright red in color. There was no sound whatsoever. The sky was mostly cloudy and it had just rained about 40 minutes prior to the sighting. There was also a plane spotted to the west of where the ufo was located at the same time.

It was stationary then moved back and forth. I went to get my phone and when I came back out the light was fading, and then disappeared.

Espanola, NM
I'm visiting my mother in New Mexico and I walked outside approximately around 5:45 AM to smoke a cigarette, I turned around and looked up at the sky and saw a bright white light in a perfect circle flying kinda. At first, I thought someone's Mylar balloon had gotten away and the rising sun was gleaming off of it causing it to glow. I kept looking at it and it was moving forward, not up like a balloon would. It flew over my roof and I saw no blinking lights nor a chem line that might signal a helicopter or jet or plane and I called into my screen door for my boyfriend to come look and by the time I had looked back not two seconds later, it was very far away and in a different direction but still visible. It stayed hovering in the same spot but still somehow moving further away. We stayed staring at it until it eventually moved behind the clouds and disappeared. It was a white hot light. I can't ever describe it as man made. It took about 15 whole minutes to fully disappear. It made no noise either.

Red/orange ball at minimum cruising altitude of commercial airline covering a huge distance coming from the south before curving the northeast and vanishing. Lost contact. Military fighter jets also coming from the south about 5 seconds after sighting. No way they caught up. Impossible. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. PD

Coos Bay, OR
On July 31st, me and three other campers camping at ten mile lake near Coos Bay, Oregon, saw a single orange circle floating in the sky. We walked out to investigate, and as we were walking another light was there. We initially thought that the second light must have been behind it and we couldn't see, due to our angle. But later realized the second light just appeared. They then moved in a circular motion, got brighter and then smaller and disappeared.

Coos Bay, OR
We saw a orange glowing circle appear north of Tenmile Lake by Coos Bay. My son and his friend and my co-worker were camping. Skies were clear, we heard fighter jets fly by and were looking up at the sky. A few moments later, we saw a single glowing orange circle in the sky, when we got up to take a closer look and walked a few steps, it turned into 2 glowing circles. They appeared to have glowing circles within the circles, that fluctuated the color slowly between the orange spectrum. Then they shrunk and disappeared within 3-4 seconds.

My son and I arrive home at 10pm. As we were parking, at about 45 degrees up, to the north, we witnessed an object, a orange more yellow circular object that disappeared then, reappeared several times as it seemed to travel down. As it approached approx. 30 degrees, it split in two with what seemed like a lava lamp separation with particles between two separated parts. As it fell to a tree line that obscured our view there was a flash more like lighting, though the skies were clear with the exception of a few Sirius cloud whiffs. My son got scared and went into the house, and after about 30 seconds, there was a secondary flash that seemed to be an angle on the ground. I continued to watch and a third flash occurred approx. 2 minutes after that, that seemed to be at ground level. Though we are near a regional airport and a Coast Guard Station, no sound accompanied this sighting .

Shriner Peak, Mt. Rainier National Park, WA
This happened on July 31st, 2014 at Shriner Peak in Mount Rainier National Park. I had hiked there with the intention to do a solo overnighter. Once I reached the hike summit, I set up my tent and left the rainfly off (without it, my tent was mesh on all sides) so I could see the stars . I was the only one there, so I set my tent up in the middle of a grass clearing to the left of the lookout. I watched the sunset in my tent, then laid down on my back. Once it turned dark at around 10pm, out of the corner of my right eye, I saw a floating light. I turned my head and saw a round shape with a convex curve on the upper/lower middle (kind of what you would think a generic UFO would look like) hovering maybe 150ft away from the ground. It had a light on it. The light was a warm light, not cool. Trailing behind it were two other hovering objects. They were not large, maybe the size of a smart car. I could not identify what they were and I was frozen with fear. They kept flying (it was more of a slower hover) in a pattern. They would make a pattern for a while, then leave, then come back again and make another pattern. This happened the entire night. I slowly tried to take out my camera (I was extremely scared) to film, but it would not focus in the dark. At one point, one of the objects hovered about 150ft directly over my tent and then flew toward Mt. Rainier (which wa! s straight away from my tent). When these things hovered, they made zero sound. He hovering was not extremely smooth, they would almost slightly bob up and down. They made their last pattern right before dawn. I packed up my stuff and ran back to my car. I drove to the nearest ranger station to ask if they had been testing any kind of equipment near Shriner Peak. The ranger said no, but that there was a military base near by. I do not know if that is accurate as I tried to research it, but didn’t come up with anything.

Manchester, NH
My sister and I were driving at 11:50 at night. To our right, we noticed a large ball of light, 2-3 times larger than a plane. It was falling at a very fast rate at an angle to the ground. It crashed/landed within the Mancheter City a few miles away from us.

Wakefield, MA
I walked out of my house to take out the trash, and I saw a large, brightly illuminated white circle just above a tree across the street. It then immediately dipped behind the tree and I couldn't see it any more. Many planes go over my neighborhood on their way to and from Logan, so I know it wasn't a plane. It was much too large and amorphous to have been a plane,traveled too fast, and dipped very quickly straight down. I knew I had seen something inexplicable, and I am a keen observer of the skies. I have never seen anything like this before, and my heart was pounding with fear.

Boca Raton, FL
Solid Orange ball of light flying southeast (opposite direction from airplane approaching Boca airport) Altitude approx 2,000 FT. (It seemed to be a couple miles away from my vantage point) Object was silent and appeared to be travelling exact opposite as a nearby plane which had the usual flashing multi-color lights. I didn't see any stars in sky due to cloudcover. After 30 seconds it just dissappeared completely and suddenly I took photo and it appears as solid perfect round light in photo. Size was about 1/5 of what a full moon is. It wasn't extremely bright, and didn't flash or change speed...just glided above tree line for what looked like a mile then vanished (as if turned off by a light switch)

It lasted only several seconds. It was a light circle falling from the sky like a meteor, but with no tail. And it fell straight from the sky! It was dark out so. It sort of looked like the moon was falling. I only saw it. So I took my dad outside and there was no fire or more lights just that.

Sandy Hook State Park, NJ
UFO sighting on Monday July 28, 2014 nighttime. On Monday, July 28, 2014, we were camping at the Sandy Hook, NJ camp site. I was sitting outside at around 11:30 pm with my friend and my son observing the night sky. The night sky was clear after clouds and storms had passed by the previous 24 hours day. Also, compared to where we live in NJ the ground light pollution is much less so we actually could see the stars, etc., very well. All of a sudden, my friend mentioned, “What is that thing moving up there?” A circular object moving very high at a steady speed, in a straight line, in the sky was noticed. It was very very high, more like out of earth’s atmosphere (a lot). It looked like a very large circular-shaped object passing earth in space. It was moving from our position from west to east in the direction of Europe/the Atlantic. From when we saw it first till it disappeared beyond the treetop line it was about 45-60 seconds. It was very gradually lighting up, but not to a very bright white light, than it went gradually back to dark and alternatively back to light. Very steady and even change of brightness. No colors & no trail. My friend first spotted it, I saw it, and my 11 year old son saw it, and we were astonished. No way this was a plane, no blinking lights; no colored lights, no change of direction, and roundly shaped and at an incredible height. It must have been very very big. We only had I-phones to take pictures so it would never have showed, frankly we were to much in awe to even think about taking a picture. True statement.

Beaverton, OR
I was just coming back from PDX when I just got to Beaverton. In the far west, I noticed a bright red circular shape that I figured it was simply a meteor. However, during the course of five minutes, it constantly stayed at the same speed without speeding up or slowing. When I got to the corner of SW 170th and Rigert, the object slowed down while starting to pulsate color red. The object went from the west side of the sky to the east. After the so called "sudden course change," the object proceeded to head north by north east but at a much slower pace. The course change happened by the time I managed to get up the north side of Cooper Mountain (SW 175th). By that time it continue to slow and head northeast towards Portland.

Port Hope (Canada), ON · Canada
Last night at approximately 11:15 pm, my friend and I were walking eastbound on Lakeshore Rd. in Port Hope, Ontario, when we both seen two soft white lights that were horizontal to each other moving north from over Lake Ontario. They seemed to only be a km away when we first seen them, and the lower elevated light aligned completely horizontal under the other one, as the two of them began to travel east about 700-800 ft in the sky. All throughout this time we had the opinion that this was one object, until two other lights began to follow the same path as the first two; operating in the same manner. All four lights traveled quite slowly, about the speed of a slow plane; however, once the second set of lights turned east, the first set traveled quite a bit quicker. That was when we were certain that these were four different objects, because the upper light of the second set sped up as if it was attempting to keep up with the first set, and the lower light remained traveling at the same speed. After about eight to nine minutes of activity, the first two lights quickly disappeared, with the third light doing the same shortly after. Eventually, the fourth light was out of sight as well. At no time was there any noise coming from the lights, and they kept the same height constantly. I attempted to record the action, but was not able to get the video since the street lights were much brighter; yet, the audio gives our reaction to the sightings.

Toronto (Canada), ON · Canada
Noticed a black dot in the sky that was in the flight path of airlines. the object was stationary for approx. 45 min. I reported the sighting to the police because of the proximity to the flightpath. About 1 hour of observing the object it was approached from a light from the north west, The light went right up to the object and then they both moved to the east at a high rate of speed. they both returned and they were separated from each other with one object to the north and the other (lit one) to the morth east. The black object left travelling north and the lit object remained flashing strange patterns of light (red, green and white) for approx. 1 hr At one point there were lights that appeared to come from the ground flashing and pointing straight at the lit object. It appeared that it was sending out light pulses to the ground. The police came to my house and witnessed the light and filed a report. The lit object left at approx. 10 pm. I did not witnes! s the object leave because I was with the police Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
