Columbus, OH

When we realized it was flying upwards and towards the East, it flew behind a tree. We ran across my yard to get better perspective. When we found the object in the sky again, it had risen and appeared as a if it were riding along the Earth's outer atmosphere. My perspective made it appear like a distorted circle of light with a dark dot in the center, that I assume was an aircraft or missile. The event took less than 2 minutes and neither of us can determine what we really saw. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Jersey City, NJ

After watching the latest Spiderman movie with my family at Newport Center Mall in Jersey City we headed home. After leaving the mall garage, we cut through the BJ’s shopping center area and my wife (seated in the passenger seat) says, “What is that in the sky?”. A few seconds after, my cousin seated behind my wife saw it too. Since it was visible on the right side and I was driving I couldn’t see it initially. Then I opened the moonroof of my truck and I was finally able to see it. Shortly after my son saw it as well. It looked like a large circular fireball hovering over a distant city somewhere west of us in NJ. It was about as high as a plane would be flying. The appearance of the ball seemed like a glowing orange fiery light and it seemed like it had some type of aura. My wife’s first thought was that it was a plane on fire. But after watching the object for about 30 seconds that claim was quickly refuted. I asked if someone could take out their phone to! record it. My son immediately began to reach for his phone and as he started reaching for it to the second this bright orange object began to move North in a linear fashion. As it started to move this bright orange light that lit up the night sky began to diminish in a matter of seconds until it was completely dim and vanished out of sight. It’s almost as though it knew we were about to record it.

New Port Richey, FL

Four people saw this object come across the sky horizontally with a long fire like tail. It did not drop altitude but moved rather slowly with making no noise. Then it broke apart into two parts and continued out of sight. It never dimmed, but was constant fireball with a tail.

Dog started barking eastward, I looked up and saw what looked like a satellite, or spacecraft breaking up upon re-entry.

Des Moines, IA

A bright red light hovering over downtown Des Moines, on the south end. The light was much larger than a plane, and moved more quickly and more erratic. I looked down to pull up the camera setting on my phone, and it disappeared.

Bradenton, FL

Tonight I stepped outside to let our dog out when I saw two very bright yellowish orange lights in the sky. They were just passing to the south of my home. There was no noise and they flew at a diagonal pattern from each other. So either one was somewhat lower than the other or one was a little further back from the other. They stayed at same constant slow speed never drifting in distance from each other.

Derby (near), VT

July first, 2019 at about 9:50 pm, on Vermont 91, approximately milepost 110. Far away from traffic or population. This is the truth. I was on my way home from Northern Maine. There was a hitchiker with me, I looked in the rear mirror. Noticed we were being followed. It looked like a motorcycle light, but orange. I could approximate the the distance behind me at between from 1/4 to 1/2 miles behind me. I could not determine the size, but it was orange, not white. The hitchiker saw it too. It was just a red-orange light behind us. Orange mostly, and sort of bright. It made a right turn without a road exit, it had a tail, and just disappeared.

Albuquerque, NM

saw what looked almost like a rocket, very high elevation, shoot across the sky in 3 bursts of speed and color from rear of whatever it way... it went from the west side of town toward the east, saw it from Wyoming and San Antonio area- 3 or 4 bursts of green and yellow, and incredible speed. it was not a rocket, or an airplane or a meteor, for sure. disappeared behind a cloud and gone--it was very fast, very noticeable and completely unlike anything I have ever seen, and I grew up on Air Force bases, so I know what missiles and weird planes look like. I was watering outside and happened to be looking up and caught it. I have seen other sightings, many of unexplained lights near the Sandia mountains, but nothing like this, ever

Miramar, FL

My friends and I were getting in the car to go grab some midnight drinks. I happened to look in the sky and seen four orange lights. I was so in awe of what I saw, that all I could say was "whaaat on earth do you guys see that?!?" We couldn't quite understand what on earth it could be. They appeared to be orange circle probes. 3 were aligned together not moving. The fourth one broke away from the three and looked almost like a fire ball with an orange auro around it then disappeared. The three stayed for another two minutes then disappeared!! As we drove and spoke about it, two more appeared but were falling down almost like meteorites. Had we not seen the previous ones that were stationary, we would've just thought they were meteorites or debri burning through the atmosphere!

Rankin, IL

Was driving on route 9 son who is 11 said look at that bright star and pointed out the window towards the north. I looked to where he pointed and there was a large bright redish orange light with a smaller same shape colored object just a bit southwest of it in the sky. I began to pull over because at first i thought maybe it was a planet such as mars. As i looked back at the object it moved in a northeast motion and was gone. Not even 30 seconds later the smaller object shot off in the same direction. We sat for a few minutes in disbelief.

Upon examination with 10X binoculars it had a weave pattern encircling the object. It seemed to pulse and held the same altitude until it suddenly disappeared.

Newcastle, DE

Sitting on my step after taking my dog out, orange object in the air coming toward me It caught my attention because it was orange, it flew over my head and I looked up. And it was a clear bubble with fire on the inside of it.. We spoke via telephone with the witness, in order to confirm that the time and date were correct. He corrected both to 21:45 hrs. and the June 15, not May 15. The witness sounded to us to be serious-minded and sincere. PD

Charles Town, WV

About 20 seconds behind them was another flying orange disc. I had enough time to grab my phone and take a video of it and zoomed in tight. However, when I zoomed in, the orange disc resembled a fuzzy fireball. Also none of these flying objects made any sound. There is a Charles Town, WV, in addition to Charleston, WV. PD

By the way my phone wouldn’t focus on the light as it continued to flex, contract and expand...

Raleigh, NC

It was way to low to be a shooting star and besides that I’ve never seen a shooting start with a blast of light at the beginning and then disappear in the manner that this did. It was nothing neither of us had seen before and we both say there in complete amazement for a good while and new we had just witnessed something that was not from here. I’m still in complete awe over the experience Can’t get it off my mind.
