Waveland, MS
There was a fireworks show hosted by the Silver Slipper Casino just past Waveland, MS, in a section called Lakeshore. At first, I thought it was a helicopter. I told my son to watch the red lights because it was heading towards us (east - Bay St. Louis). However, it stopped. Around that time I noticed there were two more red orbs behind it in a straight line, but with a lot of distance between them. They started heading East again in a straight line when they just simply vanished. No sound. They were too far up in the sky to get any video from my iPhone. I wouldn't have given it any thought until I mentioned it to my mom. Before I could finish, "Hey.., did you see" my mom said, "The three red lights in the sky?" -... just weird. But, you know, probably swamp gas or maybe flares... There had to be a few hundred people in the general area where I was tonight, possibly more that could witness it from Slidell, LA, or Pass Christian, MS. And, with any luck, someone with an HD camera.

There was a glowing red ball that came down from the sky and kept changing directions and moving at different speeds. We would see it go behind some trees and then shoot up really high and come back down moving a different way. Eventually we drove past it after about 10 minutes

I screamed and my eyes poured water from fear of what i saw. The orange ball was so bright it reflected light off the clouds. Fireball was translucent. I hung the phone up and ran to take pictures. I obtained 2 photos of rear of ship. By then it disappeared in the northeastern sky. I have not been the same since incident. Everytime I think of or repeat story I breakdown weeping. I was up close to this event. My life will never be the same.

Petrified Forest National Park, AZ
Fireball had a fiery green trail in its wake, it was very transient and no trace of smoke or anything remained in the sky after it disappeared. It was seen during twilight with the sky still dimly blue, not yet dark enough for stars or comets to be visible. One witness said it made a sound like whistling. Coordinates: 35.102758, -109.791433

I saw a fiery object high in the sky intersect with 2 other objects, the two other objects, white balls of light, then rapidly accelerated away from the firey object. Firey object appeared to entering our atmosphere when other objects first approached it , intercepted it and then sped away from the firey object in oppisite directions at impossible speeds until they each dissapered over the horizon. Firey object stayed visable for another 5 minutes

Louisville, KY
While outside on the back porch in Southeast Louisville, my wife saw what looked like a fireball shoot across the top of a large tree and disappear about 50 yards away behind another equally tall tree. The light looked yellow in color and looked to be about 50-70 feet in the air. It moved from East to West in the sky and could only be seen for about 3-5 seconds.

Clinton/Dunn, NC
Me and my Wife were lying on the trampoline watching the stars as we did just about nightly. I spotted a faint light far in the distance and pointed it out to my Wife. As it got closer it appeared to be a "Pulsating Ball Of Fire/Orb" that was roughly the same size as the moon that night. As we continued observing the object it appeared to slowly move towards us and we realized we both saw the object had the image of a face. Everything seemed to freeze in time and I recall crackling like electricity over the whole sky and then a sudden cool breeze. I also remember a sudden strong smell of decay/rot. Also when the object got really close there were Black whispy beings around the object as if escorting it and the sound of gigantic wings flapping like a flock of geese, but much, much louder as if they were giant beings and that's where the strong wind was coming from. My wife has repeatedly said that they were Black Angels. Other than that everything was deathly SILENT. I remember thinking I was losing my mind and I called law enforcement. We ran inside and a cat we had started freaking out and a weird feeling swept over me. We went back out and the object suddenly flashed and turned into a yellow fireball with a tail like a comet, changed direction, and vanished. The next thing I remember is Sampson County Sheriff Deputies arriving and us telling them that I was asleep and my wife had woken me suddenly and pulled a huge prank on me so they wouldn't think I was insane and have me Involuntary Committed. They searched the house for narcotics and also searched outside and around the trampoline we were on. I recall the Deputy asking me if we had been killing any animals around the house because of the smell I assume. After the Deputies left, the next thing I recall is waking up and it being daylight and wondering if I had dreamed all this I am recalling to you now. Then I remembered the VIDEO, which I didn't when the Sheriff's Deputies we're when I called early that morning. To this day I'm not sure what happened and I have many unanswered questions and my Wife refuses to have a direct detailed conversation of what we witnessed. I Seriously Need To Know What We Witnessed. *- I HAVE VIDEO OF THE EVENT RECORDED WITH MY PHONE. ORIGINALLY THERE WERE 2 BUT 1 SOMEHOW DISSAPEARED FROM MY GOOGLE DRIVE ACCOUNT. I had reported this before but not in detail and was contacted by email by an investigator but I got no phonecall as I was informed I would and when I started asking questions that I wanted answered, I no longer got a response by email or any other means and this event affected my life and still does on a daily basis.

Me and my girlfriend were laying on the trampoline watching the stars when a faint light started coming from the horizon. It got closer and bright and had a face image in. The wind picked up and the ball of fire turned from Orange to yellow and then disappeared. I have a video of the event. Witness provides no contact information. PD

Boca Raton, FL
Looked to the north and thought I was witnessing a shooting star. Then realized it couldn’t be because it was traveling in an upward motion... The object shot like a shooting star for maybe a 3 seconds or so then a blue coloration appeared in its trail. The object seemed to disappear then I found it ahead in the direction it was traveling. It was traveling at a slow rate of speed due east. It was very small and faint little light. Maybe like a small fireball. I watched it for about 4 minutes or so until it was so Far East that I lost it over the horizon.

Alvin, TX
I was sitting on my back porch. First I heard coyotes howling, and then dogs barking. I first saw two glowing orange orbs approximately a quarter of a mile away. They slowly moved from west to east. I could see them move behind the tree lines. The approximately 6 to 8 more glowing orbs moved together behind the treeline. No noise.

Around 0125 while approaching my destination in New Johnsonville, TN, I noticed in the NW sky a shiny object with a trail appear to come crashing to earth. Not sure of size or distance away, and did not appear to be a meteor. I am an Army Veteran of 16 years as well as ex law enforcement in n the public sector. Just hoping someone else out there may have witnessed it as well and give a better detail.

North Myrtle Beach, SC
(Video linked at the bottom of full sighting description) We had multiple sightings this night. Each sighting was the same reddish-orange color, with a duration of between two and ten seconds per sighting. There were no booms or any other discernible sounds accompanying any of the sightings. There was little movement observed – perhaps a slight drift but the lights seemed to be mostly stationary. There were also no aircraft observed during the sightings, but several jets and helicopters were observed approximately 10-20 minutes after the last sighting. The first sighting was about 9:30 p.m. My mom and I were on the hotel balcony and we witnessed several extremely bright “orbs” that lit up over the ocean for approximately two seconds. They seemed to be fairly close to the shore. I saw four, my mom saw three. This was by far the brightest sighting of the orbs we had that night. Unfortunately, I did not capture this sighting on video. The next two sightings occurred at 9:35 and 9:38. I captured both of these on video. Each of these two sightings were of what seemed to be a solitary orb ejecting another orb. The original orb would fade out and the ejected orb would eject another orb before fading out. These seemed to be much further out over the ocean – maybe as far out as a mile but difficult to say with certainty. At around 9:43 another appeared. I was trying to mount my camera phone (iPhone 6s) to the tripod while filming and accidentally switched it from video mode to picture mode. I ended up with several blurry pictures, but one that was somewhat clear. I included this picture in the video. I didn’t get a very good look at this orb as I was frantically trying to get my phone mounted. The last sighting was around 9:50 and it seemed to be very far out to sea. It blinked out just before I had the chance to get any footage of it. My family has been vacationing at Myrtle Beach for years. I had heard that this was a UFO hot spot and I had always hoped to see the strange light phenomenon the locals were talking about. I never saw anything out of the ordinary in any of my previous vacations there. I guess I just got lucky – because this time I did! Video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyKjZcDflh0

Prescott, AZ
I’m a 24 year old Male, with two college degrees. One in hard science, one in architecture. I have had sightings before but I like to think it’s because I pay close attention to the sky at all times. Last night - the night of May 8th, 2018, I was at a friend's house. I was standing in the backyard and happened to be looking in the sky, slightly to the SW (looking in the direction of Thumb Butte for those of you who know the area) and all of a sudden a fiery ball of light that pulsed between green and yellow light frequencies streamed through the sky at high speeds. It lasted for only about 5 seconds. Right when it entered our field of sight, the 4 dogs that live on the property started freaking out. This was not a meteorite. I have seen multiple and many meteorites at varying distances in our atmosphere, and this was not one. It was too low and not fast enough and the color was not that of a meteor burning up. Only one other person in the backyard saw it with me.

I noticed out of the crack of my window which I don’t know how long before that it was there, there was What appeared to be a fire in the sky, it looed like someone lit a lighter from far away up in the sky and was just holding it veryyyy still in one spot. When I put my face in the window to look at it closer the next thing I knew it was gone and I never saw it again. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) It was at night! Thank you, ((END ADDENDUM)) Time above has been amended. PD

Indianapolis, IN
On 06 May 2018 at 21:55 EST, I was walking South in the 5200 block of Madison Ave. in Indianapolis, IN. Mildest haze, no clouds, visibility 8 / 10. I saw a yellow/orange ball of light at approximately 15-18 degree elevation in the Southern sky. It appeared to have ignited, burned increasingly brighter for one minute, and slowly extinguish over the next 3 minutes. It wasn’t visible at 22:00 EST, from my perspective. If the object had the appearance of motion, I would have thought it was a paper lantern. I estimate the distance from 6 miles to infinity.

I happened to look out at the night sky and to check the weather and was looking at Venus and Mars and saw an orange fireball going from South to Northeast at a very fast rate. I have seen two other larger meteors before but never reported them. This one was smaller and was spitting sparks and a small trail. I was wondering if anyone else witnessed the same thing?
