Châteauguay (Canada), QC · Canada
While driving with my brother, a bright light caught my attention high up in the clear blue sky. I initially thought the object was an airplane, but I quickly realized it was a circular shaped metallic orb that appeared to emitting a bright white light, or it was either reflecting light from the sun. From my point of view the object appeared to be the size of a ping pong ball. I observed the shining orb for about 5 seconds. The object was moving west, the same direction that we were driving. Within a matter of about 2 seconds the object gradually got smaller (about the size of a pin point) before it disappeared from my sight. The sighting happened so fast that my brother did not see the object because he was focusing his attention on driving.

Kissimmee, FL
It was a bright orange fireball in the sky, which at first I believed to be a meteor. It moved diagonally across the sky, starting lower in the middle to the left. Then, after a few seconds it was moving diagonally, slowly, like a plane. Except it was EXTREMELY bright and orange, and I went inside for two seconds and then turned around, and it was in the middle of the sky, much higher. Then, I watched it, and it stayed in the same spot, not moving left, right, diagonally, anything. Then it just dimmed in less than half a second and was gone completely right in its spot.

Nicholasville, KY
It was still dark and the sky was clear. No precipitation. 12-15 bright gold/ flaming looking dots in a line formation, seemingly equal distance apart. They began to move in formation and then separated into small clusters. They began to move in different directions and at different speeds. I was in traffic and could not take a pic or video.

At 6:32 am I was driving to work from nicholasville to Lexington and observed 13 balls of fire. From a distance the looked like tiny lights with tails. As I got closer they went directly over me and looking up they we're huge balls of fire.

Surrey/Langley, BC · Canada
My first thought we are being invaded by something. I ran in grabbed my daughter who had just gone to bed I knew I would never be able to explain this she ran out. She was like WTF is this? We watched them all of a sudden they started moving outwards on their own and just disappeared except for 2 that moved around and stayed for a few minutes until they disappeared. I believe this was something out of our world. There is no way anything like that could have lined up like that.

Chatfield, CO
Was driving home after a hockey game down the highway when I saw a bright light blue flame dive down towards the ground before swooshing back up into the sky before disappearing into a small burst of white/blue flame. Then several minutes later while still driving home, I saw a similar blue flame hovering just off the top line of the mountains. It stayed there for about 30 seconds of so before again bursting into a wisp of flame and then disappearing into the night sky.

Philipsburg, PA
Went out on the back porch at around 6:30 pm, and looked up to a clear sky. I saw what looked to be a satellite going over and then a huge flash from it. I think it could have been an explosion with an orange color of light. At first i thought it was a reflection from the sun, but it was too big for that at that far up. The satellite continued across the sky and out of sight. Possible flare from an Iridium satellite? PD

Peoria, AZ
Two of us were walking through our neighborhood, when we saw two fireballs shooting up in the air slowly. In under 20 seconds, one first dimmed to a speck, and then the second one, ten seconds later. Then we continued to watch both specks split apart and travel over our heads until it was completely behind our heads. They traveled from the above the horizon over out heads to what appeared nearly 100-120 degree angle. The distance was amazing as well as the quickness the bright orange circular light died out, then continued to travel.

Two very large reddish orange fireballs and a number of white spheres. Strange sounds like an organ. First thought they were jets, but that wasn't that case at all.

Albany, OR
Was outside having a smoke while I had seen looking to the sky to the east its already dark. They started shooting up one by one almost thought they were aircraft or something taking off or if we were about to be bombed because they had made a diamond type formation sitting still not moving then made a square like formation then they all went in a line and then slowly all disappeared. My neighbors next to me also saw this as well. They were orange like fire almost.

Hampstead, MD
Spotted object moving from the northwest to southeast. Thought it was a comet at first but it was moving far too slowly. Altitude was higher than a helicopter but lower than a commercial plane. Made no noise whatsoever. Looked like a pulsating fireball, dimming and then brightening as it traveled. Movement was intelligent. Took about a minute and a half to two minutes for it to travel out of eyesight.

Beachwood, NJ
A Large Bright Blue Fireball was seen from the Garden State Parkway mile marker 80, moving at an extremely fast rate falling to the ground and at a distance that was hard to judge. Fireball was close to the size of the moon on an average night.

Yardley, PA
Driving home from Oxford Valley Mall, headed towards Yardley. It was a bright light, solid, and really bright. It didnt move, just stayed in place. I got a photo of it as I was driving into my neighborhood but it was starting to descend by that time. I thought it could have been a helicopter but there wasnt any recognizable movement and the light never flickered or changed direction. In fact it only started to disappear as my car moved. By the time I snapped the photo a house was starting to block it. I honestly do not know what it was.

Pittston, ME
I was driving home, headed towards Wiscasset, when I noticed a light up and to the left. As I was watching, the white light came down quickly in a straight line at approximately a 30 degree angle. It went from being a hot white color to being neon green with a hot white tail. The object was directly in front of me when it suddenly disappeared. There was no impact, or debris in the air, it just vanished. This object was below the nearest tree line and estimated to be about the size of basketball.

Quincy, MA
As we were driving in Quincy, MA, my wife and I both saw a green fireball traveling low at rocket speed. The fireball was bright green and has a trail of thin white smoke, that quickly disappeared. The area it was flying is assumed to be above Braintree or further down RT 3.

Orange Beach, AL
Standing outside center of island facing West, HUGE fireball the size of a house comes flying over my right shoulder from the East, parallel to the gulf. I was on the phone and I screamed. It was definitely in our atmosphere, at an altitude of around 15,000 feet. I was prepared to hear a catastrophic boom, but I never heard a point of contact. It was flaming and hundreds of thousands of times larger than any shooting star I see here regularly.

Salt Lake City, UT
Orange orb, BRIGHT like flickering fire. It hovered in place, then moved very slowly to the north, then stopped and hovered some more and slowly faded out and disappeared over the course of about 30-35 seconds. I wish I would have had time to shoot it with my DSLR but at night shooting a bright object is almost impossible. I did shoot video with my phone but it's not very useful. All I can tell you is that it wasn't an aircraft, meteor, drone or Chinese lantern. It was well above the clouds, extremely bright, intelligently controlled and totally silent. Absolutely bizarre! No doubt a UFO by definition. The only thing the video I shot on my phone really captures is my amazement and lots of cursing from me.
