Perdido Key, FL
My friend and I had just gotten done eating at the Crab Trap at Perdido Key, FL. It was just after sunset when we were looking at the stars and had to use the bathroom at the resteraunt. As we were waking in, we noticed a bright orange light at about 1,000 feet AGL flying over from the north horizon (we are both pilots with hundreds of flight hours and my friend has thousands), but we didn’t think much of it. Aircraft lights have strobes and position lights at night. This was just one single bright orange light that moved from north to south until it slowly flickered out right over the ocean. After we came back out, another one caught our eyes flying the same flight path. We watched as they passed overhead. Time in sight for each one was about 2-3 minutes and it was the same 2-3 minute incriminates they were spaced apart. We watched in the parking lot(and my friend has always been a skeptic but he was baffled) No sound, no propeller or jet noise. The bright o! range light was torch-like in that it looked like a lightly flickering torch or fireball moving across the sky. It was the size of an aircraft seen from about 1k feet high but circle shaped. Very squarely stuff going. on. Report submitted by U. S. Navy pilot. PD

I witnessed a orange ball shoot down from the sky before stopping in mid air. The object proceeded to dash from side to side. The entire time the object was disappearing then reappearing. I filmed the last minute.

Virginia Beach, VA
I just exited 64 west highway in va beach, onto Northampton Blvd. As I was at the intersection of diamond springs, I noticed an object falling from the sky. It was coming from the direction of Norfolk international airport and passing over east little creak naval expiditiary base and disappearing over shore dr area chicks beach. It scared me it either look like a giant meteorite resend and disappearing but it really appeared to be some of plane that looked like it just took off from airport and burst into large fireball and was breaking apart as it disappeared while crashing in the distance. I have never seen anything like this ever and it scared me that I couldn’t find anything on local news about what happened. Yes I was sober and would not make this up. Others must have seen this, it was massive and disappeared after about 10 to 15 seconds.

Galesburg, IL
I really don't know that i believe in UFOs but I have not found an explanation of what i saw. i live in the country. It's pretty flat around my house. I had taken the dogs out. and noticed some strange lights to the south several miles away and pretty high in sky (maybe 45 degree angle from ground). there was large cloud cover on the lower part of the horizon, but just above the clouds is where i saw the strange orangish lights. Actually, i was wondering if something on a plane was on fire because of the orange color and looked like orange sparks erupting too....kinda like a few cheap dud fireworks (but too high up for fireworks & sparks stayed just around the source....but then as i watched ...maybe 5 min max.... there seemed to be several orange sources that darted up and down and would disappear momentarily down in the clouds but then popped back out. when i first saw the lights they were to the south east of our house, but they moved on west and then disappeared into the cloud cover. the lights didn't go in a straight line like planes and helicopters or meteors/shooting stars do in the night sky. the lights darted all around moving from east to west up and down and in and out of the line of cloud cover...like fire spots in the sky with sparks. I really couldn't make out any shape. they finally disappeared and i went back inside. I searched for others who maybe saw the lights to explain it away as it was very noticable from my view....but haven't been able to find anyone seeing what i saw... i can only think i was at a good vantage point and could see about the line of clouds on the south horizon?? i'd really love to have someone know what i was seeing. I did get a couple very short videos and photo with my iphone7.

Kingwood, TX
Kingwood, Texas, April 16, 2019. Around 8:30 pm I was walking my dog when I saw three bight orange/red fireballs flying in a triangle. two more followed but separately. I live 10 miles from a major airport. I see and hear planes all the time. This was no plane. I heard nothing. They did this twice. Unfortunately. I didn’t have my phone with me to film it. This was my first time to ever see anything like this, I hope I do again.

flying slow moving, red glowing no blinking lights about the same altitude as a commercial airplane almost looked like the exhaust of a rocket but nothing in front just the red glow made no sound as if an airplane or rocket and to slow moving to be a meteor look about the size of an airplane at 27000 feet or a little more but all reddish orange and now that it's day light there is 2 big chem trails through were it passed at 06:15am

Burnsville, MN
While driving with my sister, heading north, we witnessed a ball of greenish white light hovering in the sky, far brighter and larger then an average star. It then began to plummet eastward, starting on fire and leaving a tail of flames behind it in the sky. We lost sight of it once it hit the tree line.

Sherwood, OR
The light was traveling at some what of a slow pace, slow enough for me to pull my phone out of my pocket and contemplate filming the light. But I ended up keeping my eye on it. It flew from West to East in a straight line. As it flew over my head, I tried to listen to see if it made a noise like some type of aircraft, but it was completely silent. As it flew over my head the fireball started to dim, until it went completely black. The strange thing was as the orange light disappeared I could see a fuzzy grey silhouette of what used to be glowing orange still heading east at! the same speed with no sound what so ever. I know a plane tends to have white, green or red lights flashing but this was silent and bright orange and faded to a fuzzy grey.

Milton, FL
I was on break at Waffle House off of Avalon Blvd. and Highway 10, when I spotted two flaming balls falling usually slow from the sky, a bit of a distance away. I have videos of the objects, just not sure how to send them to you. I thought it might be space junk, but I’ve seen no reports about it.

Sevierville, TN
At approximately 6:55 am, April 4, 2019, I was traveling south on Rt 66, coming from I-40 exit 407 in Sevierville, TN, going to work in Pigeon Forge, TN. To my right, I saw an object traveling at an extremely high rate of speed (50 times faster than any jet in the sky) traveling from my right to my left, West to east. It looked as if something had entered the earth's atmosphere and was burning. However, I did not have any depth benchmark and couldn't tell how high it was. It actually looked like it was going to land at the Sevierville airport. The object quickly disappeared to my left. It did not loose altitude. The rate of speed made me feel the object was close. I could not distinguish a shape but whatever it was, it was diminished by the large tail of fire behind it.

This was NOT a shooting star. This was a blue round fireball that diagonally was slowly falling from the Sky and than just disappeared! It was incredible.

Winchester, TN
An object looking from the east towards the West was seen streaking down towards the earth larger than any meteors I have ever witnessed with a large tale as if it was a comet but moving much too rapidly for that. I am not sure what it was.

Uvalda, GA
I was on the porch smoking when I happened to notice a bright light slowly falling straight down. It reminded me of a signal flare, but it changed colors. Yellow to blue-green to orange before it disappeared behind the treeline. It appeared to be in the direction of the Hatch nuclear plant.

Jacksonville, FL
Just for correlations: At approximately 11:54pm, sighted VERY bright green fireball (most likely meteor) dead west of my location, 12 miles south of metro Jacksonville. Trajectory very steep as it looked to be coming strait down. Flash was like daylight for 1/2 second. No sound/boom.

Cleveland, TN
Early morning 4/29 while waiting at a traffic light in north Cleveland, Tennessee, I saw a long, bright and silvery object, maybe a fireball in the sky moving from east to west. I heard no sound so I didn't believe it to be a jet. It was very large and moving fast. The entire event lasted only seconds, maybe 10. When I exited my car, I heard nothing and saw nothing else. A co-worker of mine also saw the same thing in Hixson, Tennessee, at about the same time.

Granite Falls, NC
It looked like a green comet zipping through the sky. Went down into the wooded area beyond my sight. Immediately, 4 totally black helicopters appeared and landed in what looked like the same spot in the wooded area. Sadly, the landing was totally out of my sight.

Charlotte, NC
At the dog park alone, I saw one unidentified fireball/comet like object. Its tail was white, and the fireball was neon green. It was traveling quite fast at a 45 or so degree angle toward the earth. I did not hear an impact, which surprised me, nor did I hear any noise associated with it. It was much to large to be a drone.

Springfield, MA
I saw a quick streak of white light across my windshield looking west. It went from south to north. It was west of Springfield over the area of Agawam. Maybe a piece of the satellite India shot down? It was about 12 inches across my windshield.
