From my apartment you could see a round shape object that kept disappearing and reappearing. It was heading west going passed Green River Road and Washington Avenue. There was no sound and I have taken several pictures of this very strange craft. I know that it wasn't any air craft we have. It was doing things that our air craft cannot do.

So Saturday, we are sitting in the porch smoking a cigarette.. And all of a sudden I look up into the sky and see this red ball flying super fast. I stared yelling, "What is that, what is that. It seemed as if someone threw a softball in the air ans it caught on fire. We go out the porch to see. Thinking maybe a shooting star. I opened up the camera in my phone to take a picture of it. Thinking how amazing i was able to capture a shooting star. It had been coming in very fast but then it just stops in mid air. Then started to move extremely slow. Till it disappeared. So we figure it aint a plane for sure must be a shooting star. But in doubt we make our wishes anyways. We go back in ans later explaining to my son and husband. We decide to zoom in on the picture. We were shocked and amazed. And more amazing that I caught a pic of it. But when we put it close it wasnt a star. If not something scary but what I dont know. It was a huge ball of what seems to be fire. So right then we knew it was impossible to be a shooting star. What could this be? U be the judge but make it closer. I didn't even know how to explain it. Maybe a meteor or a little asteroid.

About one minute later saw a plane in the sky and was able to observe it for approx. 30-45 seconds before losing sight of it. It was at that point that I became very curious about the circle aircraft as i've never seen anything at that speed before.

Tooele, UT
I am reporting this in 2020. However, the event happened in 2014. It was a warmer night with clear skies. I arrived at work about 4:30am. As I was outside setting up traffic signs getting ready to open up shop; I looked up at the sky admiring the calm of the morning and the stars. As I was looking up a metallic metal disk with no lights briefly but steadily moved from right to left across the sky. I could make out the material and shape because the moonlight reflected off of it. It was silent and must have been lower than an airplane because I could make out the shape, texture, and type material from where I was standing.

Garden City, PA
My wife, kids, and I were walking on the beach and noticed 3 large orange lights appear off the coast of Garden City, SC in the air. The lights were not in motion at the time. All of the sudden they turned off one by one. Right after this they came back on at the same time and were in motion at a very rapid pace. They came to a stop again and remained in place for over a minute. Eventually faded away in a way I've never seen an aircraft do. There wasn't anything normal about it, it's something none of us have ever seen. I'm not sure what it was but I also heard other people talking about it as we walked along the beach that also found it bizarre. The next day I looked at google earth to see if there was any land in the direction and there was clearly not. It's my guess that the object were around 2 miles away and 500 yards above the sea. The event lasted around 3 min. It was pretty cool to see.

A circle flew about 20 feet in air. It came across from the right of me and my son. It flashed a red light then flashed a second red light and then flew up and was gone. It was close to trees and I could see it over tree tops at my home.

Tarkio, MO
My wife and I were traveling home around 8:45 that evening when I spotted a very bright light in the northwest sky. As it was still fairly light out this object really caught my attention. It seemed to be moving in a southeasterly direction, but the speed was hard to judge since it was moving toward us. After about 20 seconds I pointed it out to my wife, and she said she had just noticed it as well. I asked her what she thought it might be, and neither of us had any idea. About 1 minute after I had first seen it, the object just disappeared. It didn't seem to have turned or changed altitude, it was just suddenly gone. I was not able to see any auxiliary lights or blinking lights either when the light was visible OR in the area it had been after it disappeared, leading me to believe it was not an aircraft of any kind. There was also enough daylight left that if it were a helicopter they would have no use for a spotlight as it wouldn't illuminate the ground any more than the ambient light was, especially from the height it was at. About 5 minutes after the object disappeared, I noticed that some stars were starting to be barely visible, so I'm positive that what we saw wasn't a star, nor was it a reflection off of any object as the sun was setting. My wife and I are both college educated people who are usually able to come to a rational conclusion regarding most any event, but this has both of us stumped as to what we saw. We've lived in this area for almost 15 years and neither of us has ever seen anything like this.

Was solid yellowish orange ball flashing colored very very solid moving from east to the northeast across the horizon I'm not very good with astronomy vocabulary, but from where I was standing, it was it about 35 degrees if 90 degrees is straight up and 0 right at the horizon. Indeed, made it from one corner of the sky 180 degree view for me to about three quarters of the way in my line of sight before it was too far to see definitely not in our atmosphere way too far way too fast and very steady it was not jumping around

Vandalia, OH
Bright white light traveling very slowly at high altitude from north to south. Directly over head. My wife was walking our dog and I was taking out the trash when she pointed directly upward, bringing my attention to a bright light. The light dipped down toward us, getting bigger in size. Then, suddenly, and very quickly, it headed out into space. My wife and I are both armature ((amateur??)) astronomers and are very familiar with all known aircraft and satellites. We're out looking at the sky every clear night. The size appeared huge, particularly when it dipped down toward us. It was shocking to see it head outward into space.

Lake Havasu City, AZ
We were filming a magnificent rainbow, and shortly afterward, a "craft" appeared. I saw a red light, which then transferred into a clear larger round shape. It was as it the object was moving forword towards me. I heard the neighbors talking about it too, each of us wondering what it could be (Military? Drone?) --we are, afterall in Arizona's desert where a lot of military goes unnoticed. At any rate, the craft hung there, not moving at all. Suddenly, it shot up into the air, and then, it descended behind the houses so we wouldn't see it. We go in the car and tried to find it, seeing only a ball of light on a hillside. We were unsuccessful in reaching it, and when we tried, it disappeared. We came home and turned on the PD scanner and heard a call about a "ball of light on the hillside." We have the video uploading to YouTube and have called the news station, and we will send you the footage.

Monroe, WA
I then said Hey to my friends - that's not an airplance. It moved towards the south and went in a straight line right above our heads. It went very high in the sky and looked like a star, then it dropped fast towards the ground. It came back up and "hovered" over head - we tried to take photos will our cell phones, but our cell phones would not work. The dot started to drift away from us, went down again real fast, and we thought it was gone. It suddenly appeared back in our view - then it was gone. Both of our pets (dog and cat) went crazy afterwards. They were acting very strange and trying to get outside all night.

Driving west on Sunset Drive (sw 72 street) and between 107th ave and 117th ave I looked outside my window and saw what seemed to be a hovering circular red/orange fireball looking flying object. It was hovering towards the east very slowly. Definitely not an airplane nor helicopter. I didn't entertain it much after because I had just picked up my food and wanted to make it home. But it was visible for a good minute and never disappeared. It seemed to me that it was about the same distance in the sky as a plane would be traveling in the area like they always do for their approach.

Wilson, NC
First caught our attention as we driving. 3 to 4 round orange objects, bright glowing, in the sky just above the tree line floating slowly off in the distance. We pull over to see what it was thinking maybe floating lanterns or some other type of glowing device. However they were glowing to bright and began to move off together at the same time in the same direction. Then, more objects appeared afterwards same color and circular and swiftly moved off maybe an additional 3 to 4. Then and additional 2 came out and quickly move off. We tried to follow but could not keep up and the vanished quickly. Duration of the event was short maybe 5 to 10 minutes. We are not sure what we have witnessed have tried our best to logically explain it but have no explanation. Also to note the objects sometimes were a bright white then went to a light orange to to bright orange, no sound was ever emitted.

Camano Island, WA
Watched these circles go from one side of the island to the other. Went straight up and shot down. They moved together then separated. Also heard loud booms in air like fireworks but no fireworks in sight. Saw a few airplanes right after. We had binoculars and they moved not like normal airplanes. They also looked like they where lit only on one side of the object. I tired video taping but really hard to see.
