Sitting on beach and saw 3 separate times where a blinking object would be stationary and then move quickly changing direction and then disappear. One of them flew over us but there was no sound at all.

Yankee Stadium for Joel Osteen meeting. At about 7:30 PM, I looked up into a clear blue sky and saw what could have been confused as a star. However it occurred to me that it was too light out and what I was seeing could not be a star, which then got my interest. Then I noticed another and another, until I counted about 6 objects. I observed these objects for a few minutes and then asked my family to observe what I saw. Everyone saw what I saw and some others around us started to look up as well. Only 1 object moved much but the others were stationary and for all intents and purposes just points in the sky. One had a definite orange to red color, but the others were a shade of silver. During the 30 minutes of observation numerous jets crisscrossed the sky, many at extreme altitude, but the points seemed to be higher. We all speculated as to what these things could be and we considered weather balloons, but felt uncertain as the objects were stationary (other than the one that moved slowly). In all, I missed about 45 minutes due to this distraction, and turned my attention to the event. When I checked the sky at dusk, all objects were gone.

I saw what appeared to be planes or helicopters with red lights coming from the SSW moving to the NW following each other. Then a large aircraft (ship) approached from the east, with white lights on the bottom, headed west. Two more of the aircraft with red lights appeared and joined the others. All five of these then seemed to be following the path of the big ship. They all disappeared on the horizon. Did anyone else see this? Their red lights caught my attention.

At 12:30 pm PST on 06-06-2014, myself and a friend observed a silver in color circular shaped object above Damonte Ranch area. It was stationary and approximately 2,000 feet in the air. The object was near the flight path of a four engine jet, but stayed in the same area not really moving. We could not get a good view with binoculars so we went about our day with the object remaining in the sky.

Moved slowly across the sky, roughly 75-100 yards above a 3rd floor apartment balcony. Moved over the rooftop and out of my line of sight. Never changed color/direction and absolutely no noise, even when right above.

I seen this bright light in the sky. Thought it was a satille station in space . I always look at stars but tonight different this bright light got closer and closer then it changed direction so quick then I realise it wasn't a satille station are star this thing was quick moved in a few directions then a plane started chasing it. But the plane couldn't turn like this bright circle this thing was quick and it came from space I know that and can move. I dnt believe in things from space. But now im freaking out a little. Calmed down now but this object, was no plane are flares are meteor. this was something I have never seen before it came from space and it was quick. This thing was so far out like the moon then it was like about a mile above me.

Using my 20 x 80 Celestron Skymaster binocs, while observing a large 4 engine jet heading south, I saw these objects pass in the opposite direction. These objects appeared to be moving at the same rate of speed in formation. The formation was in a broken arrow shape. Maybe 4 in a line with 2 or 3 offset. I followed the formation from my chair and saw the offset 2 or 3 objects move ahead of the group to create an almost even line side by side. The best I can describe them objects is a small can shape. Shiny and silvery with a white and almost orange bottom. The skies where clear and sunny. When I stood to follow the formation I lost view and was never able to find the formation again. While I could have mistaken weather balloons I've never seen a cluster of balloons. And I've never seen balloons maneuver like this.

While driving down the street we noticed 2 black objects in the sky. At first wr thought they were 2 groups of balloons as if someone let them go into the sky. After seeing them closer, we thought maybe they were remote controlled of some sort, then as they were flying closer we noticed 1 was in the shape of a donut (black) with a hole in the Center of it (almost as if an oversized black inner tube from a pool was in the sky but bigger) and the other craft we couldn't make out the shape. All we could see is it didn't appear to have wings, just flashing lights. We followed it as we could, and even got video of it on my phone. While watching the video back, you can see them in the sky, but since it's on a phone, it's not as clear as what we saw with the naked eye. I'll have to find a program on the computer or something to try and make the video clearer so the donut shape can be seen. These 2 objects flew close enough to each other the whole duration of the sighting (10 mins give or take). Eventually we lost sight of them as we kept getting stuck at lights and stop signs. We then searched on Google 'donut shaped ufo' sure enough a lot of info came up in regards to numerous sightings of this shape and that they're becoming more prevalent around the world. 1 image we saw on Google looked exactly like the black donut shape we saw in the sky, literally a carbon copy. Really has us thinking. ..... What did we see?

Polk City, IA
My boyfriend and I were driving home from the Casey’s General Store in Polk City, Iowa, after buying some candy for a home movie. As we crossed the bridge over Big Creek, we saw a floating orange spherical object out of the left (driver’s side window.) The object was like a fire or candle. It did not appear as hazy or with an aura around it though I wouldn’t say the sphere shaped light’s edges were extremely sharp. It was over the lake, about a few hundred feet beyond the bridge and a few hundred feet higher in the air relative to us (on the bridge). It glowed brightly but not in a blinding way like the headlights of a car. The object was moving horizontally and didn’t seem to be moving up or down. It glided in the opposite the direction we were heading. It moved smoothly and within the car I could not hear it making any noise. Unfortunately we couldn’t pull over to get a longer look (we were driving on a fairly busy highway over a bridge.) When we were able to turn around we went back over the bridge but the object was no longer there. It was dark out, 10: 36 pm.

On Saturday, May 31, about 10 PM, my wife and I were sitting on our deck around a fire pit. There was a party going on at the house behind us. I got up to go inside when I looked up into the sky and saw a group of six or seven lights moving toward us from the south. They were moving in a Northerly direction not unlike conventional aircraft. The thing I thought was odd was their shape and color. They were all identical; circular, orange at the center with a yellowish ring around the edge with 2 very small flashing white lights opposite each other along the rim. As the group moved across the sky it seemed one was lagging on behind and caught up with the rest of the group. They had no sound at all. When they met together as a group right above us, they started to disappear one at a time, which I thought was kind of odd. It was a partly cloudy sky that night. I could see some stars so I don’t know if they climbed and went through clouds or exactly what happened. I don’t know what their elevation could have been.

Observation of Unidentified Flying Objects in Franklin County, Kentucky On Saturday, May 31, 2014, at approximately 10:00 pm my wife and I observed 10 or more orange balls of light in a perfect straight line formation at an altitude of approximately 1000-1500 feet. The balls of light seem to appear one after the other and were not all visible initially. All but one of the orange lights stayed in formation the entire time we watched. One of the lights rapidly accelerated next to another orange light and remained side by side with the other light until they disappeared. The orange lights were flying northwest, were evenly spaced approximately 200-300 yards apart and silent. We watched the lights for approximately five minutes until they made a turn towards southwest and disappeared as they were moving away from our location. The orange objects did not have any strobes, sound, red or white light. I have worked on numerous military bases, have been an investigator for the state government for more than 13 years, traveled internationally and have flown on private and commercial planes and helicopters. I have never observed flying objects like we saw on May 31, 2014. I am 100% certain they were not “Chinese lanterns”, helicopters or planes. The flying objects had to be controlled by intelligent life due to the exact positioning of the objects, formation and the rapid acceleration of one object next to the other that remained side by side until they disappeared. I have observed planes and helicopters flying at night and these were definitely neither. The sky was clear over Frankfort and little to no wind. Before reporting this incident we consulted with two Air Force Officers and they are unaware of any aircraft that are silent or displays orange lights rather than the traditional lights used on aircraft during flight. I had serious reservations about reporting the incident because I have never believed in UFOs. I am not sure what these were but, by reporting this incident I hope to find some answers no matter what they may be.

I was looking to the east at about 20 degrees up from the horizon when I saw a circular craft that was well lit up traveling to the north. It was close to the flight path of planes that were taking off at McConnell Air Force Base. The object was about three miles north of the base. The object made no sound as it accelerated to the north and then vanished.

I get home at about 22:30 and back my car into the car port. Walking out from under it I immediately have a 40' white light glowing circle (emitting enough light for the surrounding area to appear daylight) hovering directly over me about 20 or so feet up. This lasted for about 3 minutes. Next day I was up at 7:45AM feeling like I had alcohol poisoning..felt as if every part of my body was in agony down to the molecule. All my energy had been drained. Went back to sleep and woke up at 22:00. 3 days later I am still feeling the effect. Since I don't drink and do not do manual labor for a living I have no other explanation, other than being chosen for testing rather than the usual being an observer or along for the ride so to say. Had to be some form of a molecular scan. Talked to a fellow associate at ICAR earlier and was recommended to send a report in to this site.

Both of us witnessed a very pretty round turquoise object suddenly appear on the left side of the road over a field. We couldn't tell the distance but if you think of the size of the moon from an earthly observance, it was about 2/3 of that size. It didn't look spherical, just a round flat turquoise colored image. It stayed there for about 2 seconds then zoomed away very fast till it disappeared. It left no trail or fire. Very intriguing.

Me and my wife were cloud watching when I noticed what looked to be a star. We broke out the binoculars and could see round object, metallic, day time. Thought it was a star, at first it did not seam to be moving. It appeared from a cloud and look to be still then move over to another cloud to the north. It did not move fast at first but very slowly move north, stopping then instead of drifting west like a stare or planet would have it moved very fast east. Stopping again by another cloud, then further east out of sight, taking between 45 min and an hour. It was not a plane, no vapor trail and there was airplanes all over the place and it was not a bird could see the birds, and could make them out. It reflected the sunlight, shiny when we looked threw the binoculars.

While watching borate planes dropping borate on a fire that had started not far from us, we live in the mountains out of Grass Valley, California, my son-in-law spotted a small white dot way up above the borate planes that remained in one spot the whole time while we were watching the borate planes. He got his binoculars and watched it for a while. Said it was round and concaved in the middle. My daughter was using her camera taking pictures of the planes and zoomed in on the object and took a picture. The object stayed in one spot in the east of us and never moved for the two hours we were looking. Don’t know how long it had been there before we spotted it. Later we went in the house, but my husband sat out for a while longer and said it very slowly moved to the north and faded out over about Tahoe area. It was way above the borate planes. We have a very good photo of the object.

After working in my yard on Memorial Day I was sitting on my front porch at 15:00 looking due east at the horizon. At about 45 degrees east, north east I noticed an object in the sky. I thought it might be a bald eagle circling for its prey. However, the object was too high in the sky to be a bird. As I looked further I noticed the object was hovering above something, as if it was observing something. After noticing that the object was not moving, and having concluded it was not a bird, it suddenly zoomed off due east at fantastic speed. I have never seen any aircraft that operated like that before. It was either a government test vehicle (which I highly doubt) or a UFO. About one half an hour later I noticed two high flying jets going both east to west and west to east at a high rate of speed. Those both had contrails and were moving much more like traditional jets.

Standing in our driveway, looking up, as our borade ((sic. borate)) planes were dropping borade on a fire, we noticed a round white circle object in the sky, not moving for a very long time. It was slowly traveling sideways across the sky at straight line. It was white with an indent in the middle. Very slowly it moved across the sky and then disappeared. Photo attached

On May 26, 2014, at 1200 noon I glanced up from yard work to see something white in the sky. I initially assumed it was a pair of geese flying together at a high altitude. I thought one flew off to the left but one remained, which didn’t make sense and gave me pause. As I concentrated on the object, I realized it wasn’t a bird at all but something round, shiny, and stationary. I took a picture of it with my phone. From my yard, which is 40 miles NE of Sacramento, the direction was ESE at 45 degrees. The altitude and actual distance were difficult ascertaining because I lacked a point of reference. Judging from aircraft throughout the afternoon, I would assume it was higher than a helicopter and lower than a jet. I called and left a somewhat animated message for my fiancé about this, then ran into the house for my glasses and binoculars. I was afraid to leave the site I was standing for fear it would be gone when I returned. I have to stress here that when I first saw the object, I was only wearing protective safety glasses, not prescription, yet could clearly see it was round, white, and shiny. With the binoculars it was round like a ball, white, shiny, with bright light on the top, which could have been the sun’s reflection. Sometimes the light became brighter, sometimes dissipated completely. It was difficult to tell but it seemed as though there was something grey on the back of it that would occasionally be visible. I wasn’t able to visualize any apparatus or ropes dangling from the bottom of it. In an attempt to eliminate the possibility I was imagining this, I called friends who were one mile away. They saw the object, with the same coordinates, also stating it was shiny and unusual. They gathered additional people to evaluate this, ensuring that the entire town would eventually be as crazy as we were. I watched a couple of YouTube videos on weather balloons and read two articles, but I still wasn’t able to tell if this was a balloon or something else. The weather balloons online drifted and, while the photographers had to continually adjust the camera to follow them, I didn’t. What if it was Venus? Or worse yet the Moon and I was creating perplexities out of the rational? The mind is capable of creating any reality it wants to so I have tried to remain as logical about this as possible. I called the local airport. I was told they had no reports of any sightings or weather balloons in the area and they expressed concern about flight paths. I was asked if it could be an advertisement but it was much too high for that. I was given two numbers for the FAA. Since it was Memorial Day, the offices were closed so I left messages. The object remained stationary for over three hours, completely undeviating in location, my point of reference being between two trees. The sun’s position was changing over my right shoulder and back, this was not. By 1500 it began slowly drifting East, remaining at the same altitude. It became increasingly difficult to find it in the sky until it eventually disappeared from view at 1630. I received return calls from the FAA this morning. One person said it was likely a weather balloon, while another encouraged me to contact NUFORC. I was told someone else reported a similar sighting, only 24 hours prior and 1 ½ hours north of mine. It is now 1200 on May 27. There is presently nothing in the sky where this object was yesterday. That, coupled with the fact that it traveled east, eliminates the planet theory. I suppose a logical explanation would ensure our sensibilities. The unexplained though, would make our current perceptions of reality a lot more interesting.
