Red Orb balls in east sky and then turning north

Jacksonville, FL
Red fireball in perfect circles flying about 10ft above tree line. Very long line formation miles in length moving in a perfectly straight line staying the exact distance between each other maybe about 1 mile distance apart. They made no sound and moved like they were floating, but never swayed from an exact straight line and distance from each other. They never swayed from perfect formation. It was very strange and was not natural such as an ember from a flame. They moved almost strategically. They stayed in perfect spheres as if you contained a ball of fire in a glass sphere.

Utica, NY
Driving home from work spotted a large yellow/orange light, thought it was maybe a planet. Changed shape from circular to oval. had blinking lights underneath. Was moving very very slow, and hovering. Kept changing shape. Followed to Herkimer, NY, then the light got distant, could not see anymore.

High Point, NC
(Sorry for submitting this twice, I realized I set the date to today, and not Monday, on accident.) I was arriving to my step fathers house at around 9 PM EST, and I looked up to the sky above his house, which overlooks some semi-tall trees and leades into a lake. When I looked above, I saw a flash of light that stayed in the air for a good few seconds. The light descended slowly, much larger than a plane and more slowly than that, until it disappeared behind the house. My mother was with me, but she didn't see it, as she was taking bags out of the car. It was large, about the size of the moon, but much brighter. As it descended behind the trees I tried to run around to the back, but it was already gone. The shape was nearly perfectly circular, but I describe it as a fireball because of the hazy outside of bright blue along with the white center.

Big Pine Key, FL
On Sunday Feb 16, 2020, at about 9:06 we were looking South South East from the North end of Big Pine Key. About 30* above the horizon we saw a red streak of light which traveled Eastward lasting for about 4 seconds leaving a trail behind it. I also saw flashing aircraft lights about 50* above horizon in the same part of the sky at that time. I observed the aircraft lights for 3 minutes continuing West. We are able to see Space X launches when conditions are right and the color and movement of the streak of light reminded me of those lunches but in a completely opposite location. I don’t think the streak originated from the aircraft but I’m fairly confident the streak was clearly visible to persons on that aircraft because of their location.

Red Light appeared hovering over Prospect Park. Object sat uncommonly still in the sky, then shifted north several feet. After 7 minutes, it vanished from the sky instantaneously.

Whatever it was fell straight out of the sky. It looked like a little piece of fire followed by a cloud trail

Plantation, FL
First saw (with naked eyes) object in the northern sky. Object then with great speed exited the atmosphere to the western sky. But I also have a dash cam that picked it up at least a minute before I noticed it, so from the video it was first noticed in the eastern sky and in under a minute it was past me really low like within 10k feet then it exits to the western sky.

Homer, LA
At about 02:20 I was driving to work and notice a light moving in an unusual manner. I pulled over and quickly grabbed my phone to video it. The light or craft was moving very fast and moving in every direction in a very rapid pace. After a minute of videoing the object, I put away my phone and continued to drive to work.

Object appeared suddenly looking West over Grizzly peak. Looked like a super bright star flashing red and blue light. Object stayed stationary flashing for 5min then vanished. No other stars were visible tonight. Looked at it through binoculars and looked like a burning star.

Green fireball went across the sky and turned orange, then disappeared. It was too large to be a comet, about the size of 5+ airplanes.

We were riding in the car and I saw a light in my peripheral view. I looked up and saw what looked to be a fireball streaking downward from the sky. It lasted a little more than a second before it dissipated.

They were flying in a formation heading north east in the sky until all but one were out of sight. The last fireball headed east as it got smaller traveling at a fast rate.

Palm Springs, CA
Cans out to walk dog and saw 2 orange glowing lights moving west to East followed by 2 more. I heard no sounds of aircraft. They seemed low as the lights were bright orange. Thought a helicopter at first but never saw a clear orange color. As someone mentioned on 1/28/20, the lights then seemed to ascend up to higher altitudes and then disappear.

Garden Grove, CA
Looking toward the southwest I noticed a gold colored light. I am an avid aviation enthusiast and plane-spotter. This light ontinued to grow in size and luminosity. I then recognized the light to be a meteor with 2 peculiarities: it was travelling West to East and it was a shimmery gold and monochromatic. It was also probably the longest duration event I've ever witnessed.

Meteor or space junk? There have been several articles on the internet about a possible sighting of a fireball or space junk seen over San Diego county and Los Angeles county after 10:00pm on Wednesday night 29 January 2020. I live in San Diego. I did not see the event after 10:00pm; but I thought i would mention there was an earlier event around 8:10pm the same night. It also was either a large meteor or space junk? The street I live on runs north-south. As I was walking south a large meteor was seen while looking down the street to the south? I didnt think much about it; butI did have the thought that it seemed to be coming down slower than most meteors. I know the approxiate time because I texted my Dad at 8:17pm that I had juist seen a meteor. Anyway, thought I would mention this.

Fairfax, CA
On Sunday January 26, 2020, approximately 4:30 PST at 25 Park Road, Fairfax, California we (2 of us ) were facing SE and looking upwards when we saw an unidentified object move swiftly across the sky at a low angle (about 45 degrees above horizon) toward the N/NE. It looked large and close. .The width appeared to be about 4-5 X the size of the moon. It had a SUPER WHITE brightly-lit rounded front (head) that had shining pink and blues within it. The tail was wide and long, and was just as bright as the head. We saw it for about a two and a half second duration and lost sight of it as it moved behind a low cloud. A few moments later we heard a loud boom coming from the direction of the object’s trajectory.

Fort Lauderdale, FL
Noticed high in the sky 5 orange tinted fireballs slowly moving in a row higher and higher , flashing and at some point suddenly disappearing one after another. Then 2 more fireballs appeared and followed the same trajectory as the first group. I was able to take 4 videos. On videos this objects look like rotating disks which at some point exploded forming a dispersing sphere looking like dandy lion , and then completely disappeared. There was no track or sound associated with this objects.

Blackwood, NJ
I was driving down the road and looked up and saw a super bright red light in the sky. It looked close and was very big. It looked like it was pulsing like the sun does. I pulled over to safely watch it, and 2 more cars pulled over to watch it. We looked at it for about 5 minutes before it just dimmed out completely.

Corpus Christi, TX
I was standing outside and noticed a bright object and was starring at it when it started to come closer as if it knew we were watching it. The bright object was coming fast, I thought it was a plane, but once it was close it stopped. I ran inside to get my binoculars, once I got them I tried looking at it but something kept blocking my view as if it was blocking my view by covering the end of the binoculars, I tried several times and it kept doing the same thing. It was weird so I did the second best thing and that was grab my phone and start recording. I live out in the country so it’s super dark out here we see all the stars but this was far from a star. This isn’t the first sighting either. I didn’t report the other ones. Anyways in my video when I look at it and zoom it, it’s this circle shape object with an outer ring around it, spinning super fast I mean uncontrollably fast. Almost like lightning fast. It’s very dark in my area, my neighbors had their porch light on we share a half an acre of land and there is one street light a quarter of a mile away from our house.
