I was driving on I-10 towards Walmart on nelson road and I saw what I thought at first was a meteor, then realized it had no tail and was not burning, going diagonally across the sky then disappeared. It was a white light.

I am sure it wasn't a UFO, but in the true sense of the word, un-identified flying objet. I am thinking maybe the space station as it is still visible. I am at co ordinates -35.340499-S 150.468149-E... @ approx. 18.00 (EST Australian) I was looking about S x SSW at a particularly wavering/sparking point of light which I presumed to be a star or planet in the evening sky. I took a measurement with a protractor, the base as level as I could gather, the point of light was about 65deg. up from level @ about 18.00 as I was watching, it moved to a west south west direction of about 30 degrees from it's start point, which took roughly five to six seconds I continued to watch for about half an hour with no more movement of the object. The light was still flickering a constant flicker/shimmer plain white. In this time a passing satellite travelled north/south a good fair distance from this object I was observing. I know aircraft and I know satellites and how these app! ear in the sky. I fealt it was the space station as it stayed in the same spot for a very long time after it moved and hasn't moved since. (as far as I can tell, though it may be moving away from me and not across my view). Thanks for the chance to report this.

My children and I were headed to take my husband medicine at work at the hospital when we saw a bright light in the sky near a start. Much brighter than a star. At first we thought it was an airplane but couldn't see the normal red or blue lights we are use to seeing on the wings. We watched it move in a northern direction from where we were on south McKinley all the way to the hospital on east 2nd street. My husband met us outside to get his meds and we pointed it out to him and asked if he thought it was a plane but he too was uncertain. The kids and I decided to investigate and drive out to Natrona County Airport to see if we could see it coming in to land but the light never came anywhere near the airport. While on our way there were also saw another light between the star, where we originally saw the other light, and the light we'd been following. We watched the second light move rapidly north and disappear in the blink of an eye. On our way back to to! wn from the airport heading east, we spotted yet a third light, much lower than the first two, over the downtown vicinity. It darted in a southerly direction very quickly (and had a trail behind it) and then disappeared. It was really low. Not much higher than the buildings. None of these lights were planes, stars, or shooting stars. They all looked the same. Fascinating.

I saw what looked like a meteor streak down across the southern sky. It was extremely bright. A few seconds later I saw another, similar streak but this one seemed to burn out quickly and did not make it down to the horizon as the first one did. Then, I saw a bright blue light with a tiny glint of red light emerge slowly up from the horizon, traveling upward. At first I thought this might be fireworks or a drone but my window was open and the night was silent. The blue light appeared to be miles away and its altitude too high to be a hobby drone. The light continued slowly until it was out of view. It was too bright to be an aircraft and it was absolutely silent. I suppose it could be some phenomenon associated with a meteor shower, but I've never seen anything that bright moving slowly upward. We do have McChord Air Force base nearby as well but this is the first time I've witnessed anything quite like what I saw.

I noticed a very bright light in western sky and pointed it out to a friend. Both of us watched, waiting to see it move-but it did not. It was very low, airplane height - but the white light was too bright and too large to be a plane. Besides, it was stationary. I found a spot on the horizon directly beneath object and the object remained it the same exact place. After watching it for five minutes, we joked that it might be a new star of Bethlehem - it looked the same as Christmas card depictions. Then, the light slowly got smaller, yet always keeping an intense center of light, until it became just a tiny pin prick - looking as if it would fade out completely. But, it would grow brighter and larger again. There was a pattern of the size and brightness, but it was inconsistent. Suddenly, my friend noticed a second light, 45 degrees above to the left. Then a 3rd light, same angle and distance, like Orion's Belt. Then 1st light began disappearing, reappearing. Other lights seemed to pulse more in its absence. It was still going when we left 30 minutes later.

2 White lights dancing together in the sky in desert area. One larger and brighter. Another smaller yellowish light dropped in the sky and then ascended quickly disappearing leaving other 2. Other lights remained in sky for over an hour and a half before dimming and then disappeared.

Many years ago my brother had a camera and I took many photos of the moon and during eclipses, I would watch the moon and take pictures. One day there was a high red moon like this and I took several pictures of the moon and there were also stars in the sky and out of curiosity, I focused on one of the stars whose light looked very bright and what I saw made me very curious because it seemed strange but for a moment I thought it was something normal and that's how it looked, I swear to you the photos that I have I took them myself in the app 2015 and I left them without giving them importance because it is supposed to be something normal but I was left with the intrigue. Today I am before you so that you can help me and see it for yourselves, I am sure it is not normal and it was something more. Clearly, it has a circular shape with more circles inside and it shone at that time. I'm going to attach 2 photos that I took of the object and also the photos that I took of the moon. That was all I photographed that night. Nash Ramos Report in original language: Vi una estrella pero no es una estrella, parece una nave espacial Hace muchos años mi hermano tenía una cámara y yo le saca muchas fotos a la luna y en eclipses vehia la luna y le sacaba fotos. Un día hay una luna roja alto así y le saco varias fotos a la luna y también hay estrellas en el cielo y por curiosidad enfoco una de las estrellas que su luz se veía muy brillante y lo que ví me genero mucha curiosidad porque se me hizo extraño pero por un momento pensé que era algo normal y que así se veía, se los juro que las fotos que tengo yo mismo las saque en el app 2015 y las dejé sin darle importancia porque se supone que es algo normal pero si me quedé con la intriga. Hoy estoy ante ustedes para que me ayuden y lo vean ustedes mismos, estoy seguro no es normal y era algo más. Claramente tiene forma circular con más círculos dentro y brillava en ese entonces. Voy a adjuntar 2 fotos que saqué del objeto y además las fotos que saqué de la luna. Eso fue todo lo que fotografié esa noche. Nash Ramos [NUFORC annotation: Camera Anomaly - Probable]

Lisbon (Portugal) · Portugal
It was around 3.57AM Europe GMT time when looking to the general sky scenery something caught my eye aproaching from my right to my left POV. It was VERY fast when compared to the size or a airplane, around 10x the size of a A320 following a domestic path, this when looking at the same supposed distance/height, a height where you can clearly distinguish the winglets/ tail lights. Compared to a star which is only a small dot it would be roughly around 100x's the size, alot brighter! Regarding the brightness: this object was very bright, enough to made me turn my head and aknowledge it's presence. It made a small straight path horizontally, this while getting brighter. Just imagine 1 (one) true white led of a flashlight, now put it in a dark room, make a small path with your hand holding the flashlight and you have a rough idea. Then, the most impressive thing about this sight, it pulsated for about 1 second, and it switched direction in a rigid "V" shaped maneuver and it left a trail in the sky for about 1 second that quick disapeared while bliking the eye. The pulse was obvious, as also was the trail. It was basically like the Entreprise warming up and going to Warp Speed in the well known movie. But alot more distance in this one. No idea of the origin, who made etc. Just clearly something not natural, like the shooting star that preceeded it around 4m. The type of light, movement nature (something not being propeled with fuel combustion engines, much more smoother), the relative velocity of the path in the sky and way it went to "warp" in a V-shaped 180º change of direction.... just unbelieveble. Also, is anyone is closer to this it would be blind looking at it. This was pure 7000K white, very homogeneous/soft but also solid light there!

My wife and I were taking a walk and were staring at the stars in a darker area of the street cause the street lights were not working. We suddenly saw an object/star like thing flash brightly (white light) around 4 o'clock high going from east to south west in the sky. What was unusual cause at first we thought a satellite was that it was moving extremely fast and horizontal to the horizon and it flashed brightly then the light went out and we estimated, based on its apparent speed where it might flash again, and it did before it disappeared beyond the trees and horizon. We never saw anything move so fast, based on how quickly it moved across the horizon. There was no sound, smoke trail or anything like that.

Regina (Canada), SK · Canada
In east Regina (East Douglas Park, and Wascana area) seen in the sky 3 bright white lights moving fast in the night sky back in and forth, remaining stationary for large amount of time, then zipping back and forth again. This occurred for almost an hour. This was definitely not an aircraft or plane that is around today. No aircraft can move as fast as these lights did. Unfortunately, I do not had a camera or phone to take a photo of these lights.

Went out for my usual nightly stargazing. This was something I have never seen in all my nights. 3 extremely bright lights were in the southern sky. I ran inside to get my binoculars. When I came back out one of the three lights was fading and moving south. After about 5 minutes the other two began to do the same. After a total of ten minutes they had faded/moved on completely. They were a bright reddish orange in color. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Hi, My husband and I enjoy listening to Peter on Coast to Coast, but I never figured I would be sending in a report. I actually live in Spokane, north of Fairchild, down in the canyon… so not too far from Peter. Yesterday, Tuesday, June 9th, I was heading into work eastbound on Hwy 2 towards I-90. I was watching the geo engineering in the eastern sky, as there were three planes that I could see at the time that were spraying. At about 7:45 just before I got to the I-90 ramp I saw something bright and round in front of a cloud, north of the three planes. Honestly I have never seen anything like this before. It was much larger than a star and much brighter than one. It was round and just incredibly bright. It did not move at all, just pulsated bright. I watched it for about 10 seconds, then it disappeared into the cloud behind it.

Le 8 juin 2015 à 2h30 un témoin observe, par une fenêtre de toit, 10 points (environ) lumineux rouge-orangé qui se déplacent silencieusement en ligne droite dans le ciel nocturne. Les points disparaissent progressivement. Un seul témoignage est recueilli. L'observation de points lumineux rouges-orangés traversant le ciel en moins d'une minute, une nuit de week-end, fait nettement penser à des lanternes thaïlandaises, probablement lâchées à proximité à l'issue d'une fête privée. L'arrivée et disparition progressive des lumières est assez caractéristique de ces objets lancés à la chaîne, et d'une durée de vie de quelques minutes (selon le brûleur). Le déplacement est observé de l'Est vers le Sud, ce qui est compatible avec le vent de Nord Ouest à Nord Nord relevé à Neuilly-sur-Marne (voir le relevé Infoclimat à Roissy à 20km : on note un léger vent de Nord-Ouest. Le GEIPAN classe ce cas "B" observation probable de lanternes thaïlandaises. [GEIPAN classification B — Lanterne thai]

Avenal, CA
We were driving North on I-5 (about 5-10 minutes north of the 76 gas station in Avenal, CA) and noticed three bright round lights moving East to West) about 1/2 mile in front of our vehicle. All this happened anywhere between 9:18 - 9:19 pm at night so it was dark (and I had just gotten off the phone with my brother, which is why I know when this happened)... One light was ahead of the three lights, while the other two were closer aligned to one another... In unison the lights then changed their flight path and headed south west and looked as though they were landing on the tree Orchard west of the highway. Before we knew it the lights were gone. They disappeared into the Tree Orchard. As it was dark, I was unable to see if the lights were attached to one aircraft or if each light was attached to an individual aircraft. We did not hear sound coming from the lights... This happened over the course of 3 seconds (or so), so there was not enough time to take a picture or video of these lights.

Having coffee on my patio and observed object in the eastern sky. Object appeared suddenly and was very bright. Round in shape and resembled the stars around it but was much closer and lower to horizon. I have seen meteors before and this object was not a meteor. It was moving fairly slow to the north and in a straight line (not falling). I watched for about 5 seconds and then it just vanished. It did not speed away, it was just no longer there. This event repeated again on Monday 06/08/15 everything was exactly the same, except it occurred about 6:00 just before daybreak.

Too high for a drone, not an helicopter, moving too abruptly to be a plane. It just disappeared after a while. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Edmonton (Canada), AB · Canada
Going to bed saterday night, looked out the window to see a group of 7 amber lights moving in unison in a formation. I couldn't make out any obvious pattern from my view point. As they flew above the house, I ran outside to maybe get some video with my phone. In the 10 seconds it took me to get outside, they had all taken off way into the distance, in a very short time. Police choppers drive by here all the time, but make a very noticeable noise these lights were all silent. I live just 2 blocks away from the West Edmonton Mall.

My husband and saw a red light coming from the west. As it passed overhead the color became more orange to yellow. We turned around and watched it as long we could. We did not hear any noise.

Arlington, WA
On June 6, 2015, at 10:00 PM, in Arlington, WA, I got out of my car to pump some gas at the Safeway gas pumps in Smokey Point. As I turned north to walk behind my car, I saw several orange lights jump up into the sky very quickly, one after another. Each one popped up within a second or less after the one before it. I have photos of ten of them, but I think there was an 11th one that is not in the photo. It seemed like there was a straggler. They stayed somewhat low above the horizon for about 30 seconds. (You can get a good idea of this in the photos.) I took a total of ten photos while they were in sight. Then they suddenly turned to the east, (they had been heading south towards me, and I was slightly to the west of them) and flew out of sight pretty quickly. There was no sound from them the entire time. These lights were much brighter and bigger than any star and much smaller than the Moon. You can get a sense of this in the photos. I did not see any flashing lights, just steady, orange lights moving across the sky. They did not have any of the lights that a typical airplane would have. I did consider the possibility that they could be Chinese lanterns. However, they moved much too quickly and with too much control for that to be the case. In my location, I wondered if they had taken off from the Arlington Airport, which is not a manned airport (it has automated landing). That could have been approximately where they took off from, because they looked reasonably close. However, they could also have taken off further north than that. The lights were bright enough to be seen from a good distance. There was not a noticeable wind in the area at the time I saw this. I think Chinese lanterns would have stayed around much longer, even if there had been a strong wind. When I expand the one photo of three lights, I can see the orange glow. It’s not real clear. I took the photos with my iPhone. However, you can get a sense of the color. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and we found her to be quite level-headed, and quite objective in her description of the sighting event. We suspect that she is a very reliable and capable witness. PD

I pointed it out to my little girl and said, look at the star. I continued to watch it. As i did it stared to flicker and then it just faded out. I thought that was peculiar. Never witnessed anything like it before. Thank you for this forum.

I would estimate that it was like a dime held at arm's length. About 2 minutes afterward I heard a slight rumble that startled my dogs as well. There was no sound at all as it went overhead. I seemed like the flight of the object was heading downward. This event just happened as I am reporting so I will continue to observe outside, and relay more data if necessary. The facts provided by the witness are not inconsistent, we observe, with a sighting of a meteor. Some meteors can generate a sonic report, which are audible at ground level, and there usually is a 1-2 minute lag time between a sighting, and the audible report. PD
