I was out with my boy muding in his Jeep and the clouds were crazy looking so I took a picture for my Snapchat story. The next day I was looking at the picture and noticed there were 2 little white dots in the right corner of the sky close to the tree line next to a water tower. I then noticed another little white circle in the far left corner of the picture. When I zoomed in on that I saw 2 more little white dots far away only visible by zooming in down and to the right of the one on the far left, there is alos another one to the left of the 2 little ones I just mentioned. The bottom one to the right of the water tower seems to have what looks like a visible shawdow on the bottom witch suggest it is really there in the sky. I alos have 2 on video moveing in the sky in snaps o took of us driveling the Jeep. You can clearly see one move over the water tower and one move super fast across the sky. I didn’t see that at first in the video but was able to by going! trew it frame by frame in my camera roll but you can see it in real time once youve seen it frame by frame.

Orange moving light in the sky that then seemed to project flames before spluttering burning out and vanishing. It seemed to be moving away from us on a southern path as opposed to falling. It made no sound.

I was on my porch and an orange ball appeared in the sky southeast of me. It was small and floating north. It was entirely orange and vanished 2 minutes after it appeared. My parents also saw this and have no explination.

Siesta Key, FL
On 07/14/19 near 2220 hours at Siesta Key on the West coast of Central Florida, I was sitting outside in a chair in the courtyard of a single story resort. The area is mostly dark, unlit, with only a few area street/building lights. The sky was clear and there were about three puffy storm clouds nearby but all out over the Gulf or Mexico and to the South of my location. It was a typical Florida summer night, hot and muggy with little to no wind and almost a full moon. I had a clear view of the sky straight ahead and to my left. To the right side of my view, the sky was mostly visible between the sparse tree branches/leaves of a 15 foot tall decorative tree. I noticed through the foliage of the tree was a very bright fiery orange ball. It was at approximately a 45 degree angle in the sky from my seated position. The object was as intense as the flames typically seen coming from rockets after leaving Kennedy Space Center. However, this was not an oblong flame, it appeared circular. The object had the same orange intensity on all sides and across the middle. It did not appear that any side was more or less lit up as it slowly moved across the sky. There was no visible trail left behind the object as it moved, no blinking lights, no change in intensity and no audible sound. It was moving very slowly from the north to the south almost horizontal. I confirmed its movement by watching it traverse across openings between the stationary tree branches. I estimated it traveled from my view approximately one inch across the sky in twenty seconds. After watching it move for approximately five minutes, I estimated it was approximately one mile up in the sky and about a mile west of my location out over the Gulf of Mexico. Watching the object, I walked through the open courtyard and then into the street to be in an unlit area when the object disappeared over the course of four seconds. It went from its standard full size and brightness to half the circumference and half brightness and intense orange color. Then half of that circumference and a dimmer orange-grey color, then half of that circumference and grey, then completely non-visible. I gave the appearance that the orange sphere moved due West out of sight at a very high speed. I initially thought it was possible a storm cloud had begun to cross in front of the object obstructing the view, but the lonely storm cloud was still south of where the light disappeared. ( Total visibility time of approximately 6 minutes.) I went inside and told the wife and kids of the weird light. I went back outside with the kids two minutes later. At 2229 hours, back in the courtyard we all see it the orange object. It was the same size, shape, color, fiery intensity and distance away as before. It was again very slowly traversing the sky from North to South. We walked out to the dark street monitoring it. It still appeared to be about a mile out over the gulf and a mile up in the sky as we watched it for three minutes. Comparing it to the stars in the sky it appears to be 15 times the largest visible star or 20 times larger than the smaller stars. If a pencil point on a paper was a star, the eraser of the pencil was the size of the orange object. Moving at a very slow speed horizontally from North to South, the light stopped moving for approximately two to three seconds, then changed direction and began to traverse in the complete opposite directions now from South to North at the same speed. Nothing changed with the fiery orb during the direction change other than the direction of travel. We all quickly return to the room and enter.(Total visibility time 4 minutes) I grabbed my camera with zoom lens and rush back outside one minute later. The light is gone and unable to be located. I walked to the beach and find no one with drones or Chinese lanterns. Returning inside I checked the weather website and determined cloud elevation was 6000 feet. When the object disappeared the first time it was half way up in height from the bottom of the storm cloud it was near so the object was possibly at 6200 feet. I estimate the object was moving at approximately 10-15 mph.

Exactly at 9:00 pm, I saw some moving objects. I was able to record them on my iPhone. All objects moved the same direction, but on a different distance from each other. No sound. The video of the events is here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDeE-7Vn9IE

I was camping at South Higgins Lake State Park when a large fireball object started to appear across the lake shortly after sunset. This was in the same location that I spotted the same type of aircraft on 7/11/2014. Just like before, the object grew in brightness and intensity, split into a second object and then a third, disappeared and reappeared. This occurred and continued on and off for about 20 minutes. The fireballs were orange in color and incredibly bright! Comparing where we were standing to a map on our phones, it appeared that the lights were above or near Roscommon. I previously thought that Grayling was in that area, however I was incorrect. The object was hovering above the tree line and then would sink below the tree line, however the brightness from the fireball(s) would create a glow behind the trees. Eventually the dancing lights. There were 5 witnesses, all were adults. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I was sitting on the porch smoking a cigarette, when I noticed a shooting star; made a wish. Then through the trees a red light was flying kind of slow, I thought it was a plane at first cause it looked like a red light blinking,but it wasn't. It was a floating fireball moving through the sky. I opened up the door and yelled to my mother to look at this UFO. I turned back around and it was gone.

Looked up to see stationary bright star. As soon as I looked at it, it took off extremely fast.

My husband and I were driving through the desert on our way home from Flagstaff and I looked up and saw probably six fireball-type lights in the sky and I pointed at them and asked my husband if he could see those, too. He said they were definitely there, I wasn’t just imagining things. They were circular, in a mostly straight line, but a couple of them were a little higher than the other ones. Once one disappeared, another would appear on the other side. We saw it for a few seconds, and it disappeared. One light went out, then the next, and so on until it was all out, but that happened within like a second. It went out as soon as I told my husband to grab his phone and take a video, as if it could hear us, or see us. So, since it disappeared, we forgot about the phone for a moment and talked about what we just saw and it came up again, doing the same thing, only a shorter amount of time that time.

I can best describe the object I saw as an orange fireball. I was standing in my backyard when I noticed it moving across the north west portion of the sky, in the direction of Mt. Charleston. My home is a considerable distance from Mt. Charleston, so I assume it would have been a significantly large object for it to be seen from several miles away. It did not change direction or appear to speed up or slow down and made a consistent line across the sky. Even though it was roughly 8pm, there was still a decent amount of daylight; the sun hadn’t completely set. I observed the object for approximately 5 minutes before it was obscured first by neighboring buildings and then finally by the mountain itself.

I have video of two beings coming up from underwater they push my friend away while paddle boarding from danger. I also have in the same video footage of two fire ball crafts flying synchronized and simultaneously through the air.

I was on my balcony, about 50 feet from the ground, i saw one bright red object that looked to be a ball shape. It was giving off a glow that was so red it looked to be blurry to my eyes, if that makes sense. I could see it above the tree line, approximately 3 miles away, east. Within 5 seconds it was hovering right over me. It's flight patterns in the sky was unlike anything I've ever seen. It moved in circles, it would hover low, then back up high again repeatedly. Once the object decided to stop hovering above me, It was out of my eye sight in a matter of seconds, I watched it until it left. It felt as if I was staring at it for a very long time (probably because I was awe) but it was only a minute. I've never seen anything like this, I'm a UFO sceptic but I saw something, something that wasn't of this Earth and I cannot explain to myself, so I'm here posting this. I just wish other would've saw it too. It was beautiful. I felt very calm and relaxed the ! whole time. I wish to see it again soon. Unfortunately, I didn't take a photo. The object gave off absolutely no sound at all.

The sky was partly cloudy but not where the “burning orange/red circle” was at. We waited outside and stared in amazement at first for a few seconds while this light was flickering... it looked like it was fighting the clouds but there were none. I’ve seen several shooting stars in my day and they’ve only usually last about 20-30. seconds tops. We were outside watching this for at least 4-5 minutes. So long that even a smaller commercial aircraft flew past this burning light heading opposite way and dwarfed the burning light making it look like the burning light was way higher in the sky. There is an Air Force Base in Tampa so who knows. But i know whatever my son and daughter and myself saw, was pretty cool. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Around 8:50-8:55 there were LOTS of lights falling from the sky. I was driving with my fiancé from Cottonwood to Mesa, and I believe I was on the 101, traveling south, somewhere between the 51, and the 202. I noticed the first, and brightest, of all of the objects, and quickly woke my fiancé so that he could see it as well. At first, it looked like a huge falling star/firework (bright flaming rock with a sparkling tail), but it lasted a really long time (around 20 seconds), and it’s flight pattern was weird. It was falling straight down for about 6 seconds, then shot right back up (2-3 seconds), fell down again in a zigzag pattern (2-3 seconds), shot straight up again (2-3 seconds), then made a hard right turn in the middle of the sky and travelled a little ways (about 3-4 seconds) before burning out. I told my fiancé to grab his phone and start filming, and he tried but said that the camera wasn’t picking them up very well, but I kept insisting that he try. Seconds after the first light disappeared, it was followed by another similar light that originated out of nowhere, high in the sky, but must have been at least 3 miles apart as the crow flies. Then another one appeared in the opposite direction. Then another miles apart, and so on. No rhyme or reason to where they appeared. There must have been at least six of these lights back to back, and all popping up in random places, miles apart. . Meanwhile, there were LOTS of planes/jets that looked like they were circling the area. At first (for a very brief second), I was thinking that maybe they were some sort of flare… but flares last for a while (about 5-10 minutes), and hover in one place before burning out. I’ve seen plenty of flares from the Gila Bend Air Force while living in Ajo, and those flares are completely different than the lights that we saw. Even the colors differ. The last one was really strange. It dropped down SUPER low (about fifty feet above some houses), and then, before hitting the ground, it leveled out, turned right, and coasted above the houses for a few seconds until it fizzled out. That would have been the perfect one to catch on camera, but unfortunately, when my fiancé tried to view the video afterwards, he realized he hadn’t been filming whatsoever. I did some research, and there were similar reports in Florida the day before, and they were saying that it could possibly be remnants of a Chinese rocket… But since when did remnants have a mind of their own and move up, down, and sideways? (( Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD)

I tried taking a video and I thought it was going successful until I got back into my car and the video was messed up. I was shook and excited by the experience. The fireball moved quickly and was very close the the land-comparitively to any aircraft. It also made absolutely no noise.

I had just submitted a report about 15 minutes before we saw this last fireball light. This fireball light was similar to the previous one I reported (fireball). It lifted above the horizon from the northeast, and slowly traveled south before stopping in the sky. We live close to Sea-Tac airport, and noticed it stoped in the flight path of departing airplanes to the west. I filmed the object, and within 45 seconds a airplane came into the frame of video heading right towards the fireball shaped light. As the plane approached the light, it made a obvious and deliberate deviation away from the light. I have this on video. The airplane left the frame of video, while the fireball light remained. The light stayed visible for approximately 30 seconds more before vanishing.

During 4th of July fireworks, a big fireball shaped orb came from the northwest over lake Morton and disappeared in the middle of the open sky about 15 seconds after observed. I filmed the object, and after the first disappeared... 30 seconds later a second came from the same spot, and disappeared in approximately the same location.

I was having dinner and saw the two ufo’s immediately over the mountain across The Valley around Dunk hill. I immediately told my friend about the phenomena, because when I first saw it it was so unusual looking, that I could not mistake it for something else but an ufo. We saw them first coming towards us They probably came around half a mile if our location. When all of us starting to look at the ufo’s they started first going backwards towards the east and then with an incredible speed into the stratosphere that we could only see the fireball faintly, and then disappearing in a second totally. While all this happening there was no sound. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
