Visalia, CA
I was driving home(southbound) on Demaree St., when I looked up and I saw a strange orange-yellow, flame-like object to the south south East. When I stopped at a red light I could see that it was swaying back and forth over the trees below. It looked like a flame or fireball in the sky. I picked up my phone and started to record but could not get a good recording. I hurried to my house which was about a block away so that I could park my car and get a better shot. When I parked and got out of the car to look for it, it was gone. I did a short a vague video of the object.

Arlington, WA
On 11/21/19 at about 6:30pm, I was driving north on I-5, just north of 236th exit 210, when a fireball shot across the sky moving east to west at about 40 degrees above the horizon. Yellowish orange in color, the fireball was much larger than a shooting star, it looked more like a close comet. Visible longer than a shooting star, and lasting probably 3-5 seconds, with a much wider trail, the arc trail across the sky was probably 1/4 of the horizon! Brake lights appeared on several other vehicles on the freeway. There was no sound related to the event. This is the first fireball I have ever seen, though I enjoy stargazing and have viewed many shooting stars and satellites.

Florence, OR
Unexpectedly awoke at approximately 1:50 and stayed in bed looking out west-facing window. Home approx 0.5 miles from the beach in a fairly dark neighborhood with no street lights. The milky way is visable on clear nights. Observed large fireball traveling from east to west at approximately 2:00, seemingly directly over the house. First instinct was to get up, put glasses on to see if it was a plane in flames (object likely moving to fast) or a meteor (very large) that had crashed. Unable to get out of bed for several minutes while attempting to rationalize sighting, perhaps due to fear. Once able to go to window, no further activity was observed (e.g., lights, fire). Nobody else in home, no reaction from dogs sleeping on upper level.

Unknown, ID
Im not sure which city or state it was either Utah or idaho but we both saw an object in space looking somewhat like a rocket with bright red florescent streams behind it. It was super bright and traveled at super fast speeds we saw it for about 2 seconds then it was gone. It didn't just disappear it was more like on a destination somewhere. But it was something i never saw and something strang.

Bridgeport, PA
I was driving on the turnpike with my family and noticed about 5 or 6 objects descending from the sky all at the same time and one flying diagonal towards the other one. I don’t know what it is but I never seen anything like that before, it is just a strange thing that was happening. I tried searching the internet to see if there was a space launch or something happening that day but came back with no results of anything.

Saratoga Springs, UT
I was driving to work going down Pony Express Road when a meteorite like object burst down from the clouds towards the ground. It burned in a bright green light very similar to the green light on a traffic light but more intense. Half way on its trajectory it broke down into 3 pieces and vanished before hitting the ground. It seemed as if it was shot out of something that was either inside or above the clouds. This event happened about 6 months ago. Sorry for not reporting it before. I am a male nurse and an immigrant from Brazil.

Indio, CA
I saw a burnt orange color object hovering & drops of light fell off of it. I saw 3 drops of light fall down like it was dripping. I woke my partner to see it & it slowly flew away. It hovered for a while before it flew away. It was a very burnt orange color & at first I thought maybe it was Mars until I saw objects falling from it. Like lights coming down or falling down.

Redding, CA
Was on the outskirts of Redding California driving up a hill with a friend (they saw this too). When there was a faint light in the sky caused me to look up. Huge streak falling down like a meteor, but it was Huge. Then it had a blue explosion and a small orange one. Object then went behind a mountain.

I was driving down the road when I seen a flash of orange light the size of a star. It was directly over some tall pine trees. It was stationary in the sky. It was very bright. It disappeared for 3 seconds and when it light back up it was only as half bright as it was to begin with. It did this three times and disappeared

Arbutus, MD
As I stood outside in the dark evening hours of the night in the parking lot facing East I saw a very large, bright green, slow descending fireball appear out of nowhere just on the other side of the trees across the street from where I was standing. It was so large that it appeared to be bigger than the size of the distant moon appears to be to the naked eye. It lasted for under 10 seconds and it was so close that I was sure that I would hear it crash nearby, but it did not make a sound as it soon disappeared on the horizon. Unfortunately, due to reasons unknown to me, I cannot recall the exact date and time or any immediate details surrounding the sighting. Just that I saw it. I also do not know why it has taken me this long to report it, for I have since inquired of many people if they saw it too to no avail. I do, however, remember that COVID-19 errupted very shortly after this event. I have also experienced a very significant, spiritual awareness boost, and was guided by, what seems to have been, subliminal thoughts to enhance my spiritual awakening journey which I developed a much stronger commitment to. I also have been a witness to several phenomenal events in the immediate area after seeing the fireball; such as distinct, picturesque cloud formations in the vicinity of where the firball descened from as well as sudden weather pattern changes which defied our local weather service announcements, on quite a regular basis. Again, I cannot recall the exact month or time but it was, indeed, near the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Big Bear Lake, CA
Long stretch of consecutive lights at very high altitude crossed over the ski area horizon just after sunset, followed by two craft that looked like solid operational craft. All were in a formation as if designed. Almost appeared as if the two largertagets were chasing the string of decaying lights.

Imperial, MO
Around 10:05 p.m. November 9, 2019 I was sitting outside my trailer looking at the sky when I seen a ball of light falling from the sky I immediately yelled at my roommate to come outside to see what I was seeing, by the time she made it too the door it had disappeared behind the trees that where a nice distance away, she went back in and not even ten minutes after that i seen two balls of light that where maybe a quarter size of the moon come out of nowhere and fly across the sky, they where maybe thirty feet away from each other and flew toward the exact same spot that I seen the first ball of light fell from the sky, I yelled my stepsons name to run outside, and we both tried to record it but was not able to get it in time. About 15 minutes after that we sat and watched about ten to twelve jets fly across the sky leaving white smoke streaks everywhere. I truly believe that we where not the only ones who saw it, so I hope others report if they saw anything.

Shrewsbury, PA
I was laying in bed when I saw a large bright light through the corner of my blinds. I opened my blinds more, and thought the light looked weird, it was bright yellowish like the color of the sun, however it was night time and it was low to the ground no higher than a street light. I thought it was a streetlight till it started moving, Once I started staring at it as it was swaying around it got bigger and I realized it was coming closer to the window so I went downstairs. When I came back up it was gone. There was no noise coming from it.

Blueash, OH
I saw ball of light with small tail that does the yellow orange colored ball of light as it fell towards the ground it continually zigged and zagged at unnatural speeds left and right as it was falling, and right as it reached top of tree line it vanished almost like a flare or firework burning out but the way it zigged and zagged told me it was not a flare or firework!

Forest Lake, MN
today at 3:28 pm i was at my storage unit in Forest Lake, MN. I parked in the front of my unit facing south. I had a very good view of the south sky as well as west and east other than some trees on the west side of my view. I was sitting in my truck on the phone facing south. Sunny afternoon. I noticed what looked like a meteor very white like a cloud, shaped like a falling sphere of white gas. Very white, and looked more like a cloud than anything else, but it was traveling west to east at a 45 degree angle coming down towards the earth. It had a tail that would shrink and than get longer every few seconds. suddenly it faced straight downward like it was falling from the sky. I video taped the entire event, but my phone camera did not seem to pick up the image. I looked out beyond my camera as it was recording and I could see it perfectly, and when I returned my vision to the camera it wasn't in the viewing area recording. It went west to east. a je! t plane like a 747 through right through my line of sight of the object. The 747 looked 1/10th the size. I am sure the pilot(s) on that jet saw the object. The object also had very small white popping lights like a sizzler but far less lights popping. I lost sight as it went down beyond my line of vision of the trees but looked like it was going to land somewhere. Hope someone else had seen this and reports it as I have.

On the morning of October 26, 2019, I was traveling on I-55 in my van to Madison Mississippi, when I saw a red fireball that looked like an orb. The red orb was traveling at a slow pace moving from East to West in Madison Mississippi. This sighting lasted approximately one minute.

Homer, AK
Glitched out window during complete darkness of early morning and saw a very large fireball, north of us. Hard to judge distance, but it seem very far away. I want my wife, as this is the second time I’ve seen this fireball and I wanted her to witness as well. After watching the fireball it looked like it begin to diminish, however it rose upward into a smaller single ball and then flew away at normal aircraft speed. We did later see, on the opposite side of our home in aircraft with navigation lights on. I cannot explain how this fireball moved upward and then flew away. I do not know what saw.

Look out my window early in the morning, complete darkness except large fireball several miles north. This is the second time I’ve seen this fireball, so I walked my wife so she would not think I was crazy, again. It look like a very very large fireball, until it began to dissipate by going upward into a smaller ball. That ball then flew way under normal speed as if a common aircraft. The next aircraft we saw, from a window on opposite side of our home, had navigation lights. If I were fire on the ground it would not have dissipated upward and then flown off. I do not know what I saw.

Neenah, WI
It was very dark, I was driving home to Appleton from the city of Oshkosh. When I was about halfway home on the highway, near Oshkosh, a bright light about the size of a dime appeared very high in the sky and dropped rapidly before the light faded. My heart started racing because my mind almost thought it was a far away plane that was crashing, but the light disappeared before it could have hit the ground. Could not have been a firework as it originated very high in the sky and dropped. There were also no visible stars on this particular night from where I was in the city.
