Brandon, SD
Looking to the north from my job, 630 AM, sky is still black I’m just south of I90 in Brandon, SD. A huge meteor shot across the sky going towards the north, it came pretty low and it was bright enough to illuminate my car in the parking lot of my job. Exploded or just burned up, and was very bright and orange and green. I don’t know if anyone else had seen it. The tail was very long until it disappeared.

I was driving on 590 going towards 6. I look up in the sky because of green light that had caught my eye to see a green ball flying. It was flying slow then sped up really fast and disappeared.

Huntersville, NC
I was driving on Saturday night 10/12/19 at 9:30pm in Huntersville North Carolina. I spotted several Orange pulsating orbs moving in straight line across the sky. These where not Chinese lanterns, Flares, or Airplanes.. I could see directly into the orbs and they appeared to be generating some type of energy pulse. These objects where completely silent. They also appear out of nowhere and quickly disappeared once they passed by my direct view. The sighting lasted about 5 minutes one after another. I stopped and took several pictures and a video. I have posted this to YouTube under orange orbs in Huntersville. The news interviewed me and people are shocked by the footage.

Elkwood, VA
We were heading NE on HWY 15 approaching Elkwood, VA. My friend and I saw a doubled tailed object with bright lights and burning tails behind them. It looked like what I had seen before from an object entering the atmosphere, but I knew it wasn’t because it had two tails in sun. Then the object stopped going downward and swirled up and maneuvered down again and then side to side. We were driving and trees blocked our view for a few seconds but it came back into view over and over. It did not seem like any object that I know of. It seemed to get lower and lower going back and forth before disappearing altogether behind trees well off in the distance. We pulled over and are completely stumped. We looked on the map and Culpeper Regional Airport is close by but no plane or helicopter or drone or anything I can imagine flies up, down, side to side and has identical in sync burning tails such as this. Please let us know if you hear any other reports or have informa! tion on what this may be.

Culpeper/Warrenton, VA
I was driving north approaching US 29 North, when I saw what looked like a large white meteor/fireball headed left (East) moving downwards. It then moved upwards to the right and then downwards again to the left, appearing as if it were going to crash. It moved upwards again and then I saw three fire stripes coming from either side. It then moved down for the final time and disappeared.

Houston, TX
At first I wondered if a plane was crashing, but there was no sound. Except for the color, I would have guessed it was a far-away jet, only it was heading directly downward. I came in the house to Google and find out what it is before it had disappeared entirely. I didn’t find anything online. I wondered if there was a satellite or something due to fall to the ocean today. But then, it never finished falling before it started to fade.

They absorbed each other and then moved from over water to over land before disappearing. I am not sure how to upload, but I have videos and pictures.

Sequim, WA
Red fireball type object seen at height of low flying aircraft. Silent. It made no sound. It flew at a moderate speed and stopped and hovered just after an asteroid burned out in front of it. It hovered for a few seconds, and the flew sideways into a cloud.

Yakima, WA
I went out to my car from from work for a quick break. I was walking back inside at around 0514. Looked up at the satrs as I do most nights that I'm outside. So I know generally where the stars are located at what times. It looked as if there were more stars than usual this morning. Very bright white. Seemed as if 2 bright white lights side by side but connected. But glowing round. Thinking dang thats a bright star. But seemed about the right size and distance. Then it started moving east or northeast I believe. About the speed of a 20-40 passenger craft. A bit slower maybe. Then sped up to much faster than a prop plane. Then seemingly changed from 2 bright white lights to one glowing firery rust orange ball of light that zoomed farther away and then straight up to where I could faintly see because of its altitude, and then seemed to evaporate almost. Then nothing. No sound throughout this ordeal. Ive seen plenty of planes and jets at night. Plenty of stars.! Plenty of sattelites growing up on a lake in the Forrest. This was none of those.

Millsboro, DE
My wife and I were at our beach house In Millsboro, DE, sitting outside having a fire. My wife spotted a large ball of light and pointed it out because it was very different from normal plane lights. I honestly blew it off and kept watching just to debunk it. It looked like a comet that seemed to be coming towards us and for its size, it just moved too slowly and smoothly. If the trajectory didn’t change at all I would still say comet but it quickly changed 90 degrees and after about 4 seconds completely disappeared as we watched. Shortly after another apparent aircraft appeared to be moving much faster but in the same trajectory. The reason it stood out was the light pattern of flashing was not normal. Aircraft marking lights are slow flashing, but the were going in a circular pattern, slightly slower than a strobe light. My first instinct was something was monitoring the first thing we saw. We don’t remember the exact date but it was early October, 2019.

Bluffton, SC
While out running at 0630 hrs this Saturday morning. It was dark. Was looking up to West when a large bright green orb/fireball (?) object streaked across the sky going NNW. About 10 minutes later, as the sky brightened up, I looked up and saw a long thick contrail-like that completely crossed the sky where the object streaked over. Like horizon to horizon. About 5 minutes later I observed a military jet and its contrail flying parallel just to the right of the orb contrail. The military jet was going very slowly as it was very high up. Compared to the bright green orb like object that only took about 2 seconds to cross the sky over me.

I saw a large fireball streak across the sky from west to east north of the Lake Charles area. It streaked quickly giving off a bright yellowish orange light, then began breaking up and flashed as it went out. There was no sound where I was.

Black Mountain, NC
Witnessed an orange, slow moving light. Was looking out my window and saw a orange colored, non blinking light floating across the night sky. Woke up my daughters to confirm what I was seeing. The object did not blink, was definitely not a helicopter. Very bright orange and moved slowly for about 2 minutes, disappeared behind the trees and did not see it again. Never seen anything like this in my life.

Hartford, CT
Fiery Objects In Hartford, Ct. 9/30/2019 After arriving home at 9:10pm (now out of my vehicle), I observed an unusual object flying north-east over the downtown area in Hartford. Suddenly out of the corner of my eye, another object (fiery orange) coming from the south-west, came into view. I looked around to see if anyone else was seeing this. There was a man and woman also looking at the object. The object followed the same path as the first. At that point, I took out my cellphone and began taking photos and video. Subsequently, 7 more of the fiery orange objects followed in the same manner. The man asked if I thought it were balloons? I thought that it might be, but they seem to gain ground on the previous orb. It took about three to five minutes for the event to end. Thank you for your consideration, VW

Altoona, IA
At approximately 20:57-20:59, there was a bright orange fireball over Iowa. It traveled straight down extremely fast, and appeared as it was almost a large meteorite falling from the sky. Once it got about 100 feet from the ground, The light completely went out and it disappeared into the clear sky. There were never any sounds and I was waiting for the sound of impact but it never came.

Simpson, PA
Observed a bright light from my porch and went out into street to check. Red with yellow/orange rimmed colored object first looked as possible plane or drone. I ran for iPad to take picture. When I returned to street object had changed course to a more circular pattern. Picture I obtained was through branches of tree, but clearly showed a lit object. Part of my background includes EMT, Disaster Service Worker and photography.

New Haven, CT
Bright, red-orange ball seen in the sky around 7PM from Front Street in New Haven. It was traveling steadily, smoothly, and silently north-west (from the south) towards East Rock/Hamden. I watched it for about one minute when it quickly faded out of sight. It was not an airplane or helicopter—was a single, large light, No tail lights or noise. I noticed others in the neighborhood stopping to look at it, too.
