Royal Palm Beach, FL
Red/orange not perfect sphere with flame inside of it. First there were 3 that crossed the sky rapidly from one end of the sky to the other. Northeast path I believe for about 4 minutes. Followed by a single 4th sighting possibly northwest path, this one disappeared after about 30 seconds. There was no sound coming from the object. 2 additional witnesses. We have corrected the date.

Pompano Beach, FL
A fireworks display was held on the Atlantic Avenue pier in Pompano Beach and my 4th floor condo faces east so I had a perfect view. I went out onto my balcony to watch. Obviously, I was looking up to see the fireworks when a very bright green light caught my attention. It was small and difficult to make out at first and it was completely still. It seemed to also be watching the fireworks display although it seemed like it was very high up in the sky. I couldn’t stop looking at it because of the intensity of the color. It eventually moved back and forth a little bit and I could see a red light right in the center of the green lights. It also became a little larger and I could see that the green lights were not like one would see on an airplane. Besides, this craft seemed round or saucer shaped so definitely not an airplane. The best way I can describe it is that it was like looking at the top of a carousel with the green lights going round and round really fa! st. The way the craft moved also made it highly unlikely this was something that originated on this planet. There were no turns to change direction, like an airplane would have to make. I took some pictures with my Samsung Galaxy 3 but they aren’t very good as this craft was so high in the sky. Eventually the craft started to move south as the fireworks display was ending. I was sad to see it go as it seemed to be enjoying the fireworks. I have never seen a UFO before and this has really had an impact on me. I don’t understand why I felt so sad to see it leave and now I am anxious to see it in the night sky again perhaps tonight or sometime soon.

I watched for a few minutes and it never moved. It was reddish orange and seemed to pulse slightly. After a few more minutes I looked away for approximately 5-10 seconds because the crowd became excited by a play that happened. When I looked back the light was gone.

Johnson City, TN
At approximately 9:30pm in Johnson City, Tennessee while waiting for a 4th of July celebration, a circle shaped object was hovering in the sky behind me opposite to where the fireworks were going to be shot. It had a constant flashing of lights from green to red/orange color. It moved in a way that I have never seen before. It was fast and would just stop completely still then shift left to right very fast then change directions. It stayed there through almost the whole show then shot north towards Virginia. I have never believed in things like this but I cannot lie about what I saw

And then they went behind the trees so I couldn't track them too long. Then about 45 seconds later 2 more crafts that traveled the same path as the previous 3, and they also disappeared behind some trees. They looked like flashing circular lights. And while they were in my line of site, they got dimmer the longer they flew. I showed my boyfriend but he only got to see the last two previously mentioned.

Banner Elk, NC
I was coming down the chair lift at Sugar Mountain Ski Resort at about 3:30 p.m. on Friday, July 4th. (The ski resort had opened its lifts to take visitors and mountain bikers to the top of the mountain and back down). The lift operators were spacing passengers out so my wife and daughter were several chairs in front and there wasn’t anyone behind me. I yelled to attract attention but no one was close enough to hear. Coming down from the top I saw a white ball or perfect circle moving on a straight line from left to right. It was difficult to tell the object’s height or size based on my perspective, but it appeared to about 6-feet across, perfectly round, and white and perhaps 50 to 100 feet above the trees on top of 5,236-foot mountain. This would be only a few hundred feet above the ground. It was a windy day and at first I thought it was some weather balloon broken loose but the wind was in my face and the object was moving left to right on a perfectly straight line at a constant speed---too fast for a bird, too slow for an airplane. It took about 30 seconds for the object to cross my limited field of vision as I descended to the base of the ski run. It seem to go into a cloud or perhaps was becoming smaller in the distance just as the tree line blocked my vision. I did not hear any reports of anyone else seeing it.

Independence, OH
About 1 hour after the city's fireworks display, I noticed 15-20 red circular objects in the night sky, southwest from my location in about the center of the city. I first noticed 1 or 2 red lights moving perfectly horizontal above the tree line. At first I assumed they were fireworks, but after viewing 2-3 more red lights, still moving perfecting horizontal through the night sky, I started paying closer attention. On two occasions during the 10 minutes or so I saw the lights, I noticed 3 or 4 lights moving in a triangular pattern, still moving perfectly horizontal. The number of total lights I witnessed was about 15-20. All moving perfecting horizontal, never vertical, and horizontal from a long enough period of time and with no sound where it would dismiss it being fireworks.

At first I thought it was a firework, but when it didn't explode or do anything I knew it wasn't. Then people began to say what is that. It moved at a slow pace with sort of a pulse no sound and we watched it stay on track in its direction, then all of a sudden it simply vanished.

Las Vegas, NV
Wasn't sure if I should report this due to the shortness of the event but the more I think about it the more I am sure it was a strange event. For geographic location, I am in the far north west of town in Las Vegas, Nv. We are far enough north of Vegas that we don't really get the light pollution like down in town so we have a very nice night sky. We had just gone through a week of clouds and overcast and this was our first clear sky in days and the 4rth of July we had clouds and rain all day/night. On Thursday July 3rd I was sitting out in my pool around 9:15ish pm. The sun had set but the sky was still in twilight and not dark yet. I was laying back looking up at the stars and checking out the constellations. When in the north sky I saw what I can only describe as a ship coming out of warp going from north to south. It left a streak in the sky about a half inch long at arms length but it was a wide light like a highlighter rather than thin like a pencil. Now here is why I think this was weird. I spend a lot of time at night looking up at the sky, I know how falling stars look, I watch satellites go by on a regular basis and I have seen the ISS over dozens of times and know its speed and brightness. In fact at 8:15ish pm I saw the ISS fly over (south to north) and fade out just like I had seen many times. Most every satellites I see here are usually going from south to north. Most falling stars I see are much faster and the streak is much longer and thinner. I am under the flight path for most military jets from Nellis AFB but they fly from the base to the training range (east to west) over my house then back a little north of me from West to East. Generally with a lot of noise and very identifiable by their lights and speed. In fact I was thinking earlier in the night that they were not out doing their regular night time training and the sky's were quiet that night. I never see flights from the north to the south due to two reasons. The mountain range is very high to my north (Gass and Sheeps peek) and due north of me is actually area 51 and the groom lake complex. It is a No Fly zone for the normal training flights from Nellis. Even the famed Janet airline flights don't do North to south, they do NW to SE to get to McCarran. And don't fly evenings. So here is how this went down. I am in the pool laying back looking up at the stars and due to the way my yard and pool is I usually look north to it being the darker part of the sky. I heard what I thought was a plane, which drew my attention to an area I wasn't focusing on, when all of a sudden, I see this streak and at the leading edge of it is a bright shiny object. The streak was only half an inch long and appeared like the old star trek shows where they come out of warp and leave a short light trail. My first thought was a plane with landing lights but when the trail and light went away as fast as it appeared I looked to the area to the south thinking I would see the plane continue through the stars due to the sky still being in twilight but could not find it. This is seemed strange to me for the fact that nothing ever comes from our north to the south and the way the light looked. And I have never seen a falling anything from the North to the South.

I took a picture of the storm that was coming forwards me and didn't realize the object in the sky. Not only until the day after my girlfriend ask me what that was in the sky and I was confused because I didn't see it when I took the picture. Soon after asking some family members, I came to the conclusion it was a UFO.

At height and speed like eagles.. I was sure that were very big birds, but wasnt able to see their wings. After almost a minute, when they were over town, they started to move VERY fast, come together.. and golost due to city lights. It happened 20 minutes after Canada Day fireworks started near downtown, and 10 minutes before end of fireworks. I am a taxi driver, (used to work as surgeon in ukraine).

I awoke at 3:20 am for no apparent reason. I then turned to look over my shoulder where I could see the window. I noticed a flash of light, then looked up and saw a round bright white-yellow disk of light hovering up in the sky. It appeared to have a beam of light coming out of it.

Sitting outside watching the night sky when I noticed what I thought at first was a sattelite. This thing appeared and was moving rather swiftly toward the South West. The altitude seemed pretty high which is why I thought at first it was a sattelite but it was moving too fast. A few seconds after I began watching this thing it stopped, zig zagged back and forth a couple times then lit up extremley bright with a very white light which made it also appear larger in size. Right after it lit up all bright it changed direction and quickly started heading back in the direction it had just came from, stopped again then shot straight up and out of sight at incredible speed. This was absolutly not a sattelite or any conventional air craft. It was also silent and made no noise.
