Centennial, CO
5 orange lights that changed in their intensity of illumination were seen flying west of the facility our officers protect. Two weeks later, at almost the exact same time the phenomenon was seen again. The 5 lights appear to rise from the ground, at different times, eventually all arriving thousands of feet from the ground, before making rapid direction changes. The lights end up “disappearing” in under one hour. We have had 3 witnesses on the first sighting and two on the following sighting. Needless to say, it’s not something we normally put in any SOR’s but we made the exception for both occasions. All persons sighting the craft are former military, from multiple nations.

The single UFO was at first in a straight line from left to right blinking and flying across my window. Thinking it was a plane and it was 3:30 AM, I decided I would just close my eyes and go to bed. Of course I had to keep watching it until it flew away, though. Right after the object disappeared, it came from right to left as it's single light stayed on. It flew around in circles for a bit then left the scene. Witness indicates that the date is approximate. PD

Port St. Joe, FL
Was star gazing on the beach. Quiet night, clear sky, some heat lightning, and a quarter moon. One silent, motionless, bright orange ball of light over the Gulf of Mexico appeared for ~1 minute then disappeared suddenly. Light reappeared 5-10 minutes later further South and disappeared after ~1. Two jets patrolled the coast shortly after and for the next hour.

Lehi, UT
Right above the Wasatch mountain range to the east. It was way too big/close to be a planet, very bright. It shined on and didn't move. The sun came up and all the stars disappeared but it shined brighter. It stayed dormant for 30 minutes and then disappeared. No planets reported to be seen this morning and it appeared just over the mountain range. Sighting of Venus. PD

Rapid City, SD
A series of 3 lights. Red and yellow/orange hanging out in the sky stationary for 5 minutes. Then the lights dropped down and hung out again for a few minutes. They started slowly bouncing up and down kind of like a spider on a web. They dropped again and the lights faded and went out.

My wife and I were housesitting / babysitting over a weekend for her parents (my inlaws). We went outside to share a cigarette close to midnight. We were talking when I saw a strange orange light over her shoulder. The closest airport to us is Dulles International Airport to the North, but this thing was going East to West from the more rural area of the county, farms and such. The thing was like a super bright flare but not flickering like one, and it was under power of some sort. There were no blinking lights on it and it was about the same color as a fire. No flickering, no smoke, no sound and it was moving "casually" from East to West as I said. After about 10 seconds another identical light appeared traveling in the same direction at the same speed. I lost sight of it after it passed over the houses in the neighborhood so my wife and I ran out front taking her grandfather and younger brother with us. He says he was an engineer or something for the air force and he has no idea what it is. After those 2 lights eventually left sight in the distance we were laughing about it and joked it off. I decided to go back to the back and finish the cigarette we started. While out there I saw 2 more identical lights traveling the same path as before, got everyone outside and we watched them for a while going off to the distance. None of us is sure what it is but several of the neighbors saw it too and told us so when my wife posted about it on Facebook.

I walked outside onto our deck and saw 2 large yellow lights traveling in a Northwest direction in the sky. Each of them had a red strip of light on the undersides. Both lights came from the Southeast and traveled at a speed and distance equidistant from each other. They both suddenly stopped, hovered briefly, and then traveled in a Northern direction for a short distance, keeping the same separation distance as when I first saw them. They suddenly stopped again, hovered briefly, and then one traveled in an Eastward direction, away from the other, toward the town of Lewisburg, for a large distance and then fizzled out disappeared. The second one remained hovering for a short period of time and then elevated upward and fizzled out and disappeared like the first one.

On 06-28-2014 at approximately 2227 hours, I observed a bright yellowish to orange light moving from the south next to the constellation Scorpio. I noticed the object moved from the south, and then slowly curve to the northeast. The objects motion was not a consistent smooth motion, it appeared to hesitate at times giving it a slight jerky motion. Once the object neared the east, the color became a deeper orange. I observed the object for about two to three minutes until I could no longer observe it. The brightness of the object was twice the brightness of a commercial airliner. Due to the brightness of the object, I wondered if it was the International Space Station. I did look at isstracker.com and saw that at 2227 hours the Station would have been over the southern tip of South America.

The object was large, glowed orange, and was a good distance away in the sky. It immediately caught my attention because aircraft do not use orange lights. There was no distinguishable shape from my vantage point. It sat in the same location for a couple of minutes and then slowly moved west until I could not see it anymore. It was very evident to my wife as well. It was NOT a Chinese lantern. This is the 3rd time I have seen a UFO in the last month. On 2 successive nights I saw a distant glowing, pulsating object due south from the rear window of my home which would put it somewhere near the border of Michigan/Ohio.

After this, being totally amazed by what we saw two more bright lights the same color e going in the same direction came zooming by doing the same thing and after about a minute after that one more zoomed by going in the same direction. A week later during the 4th of July, we were watching the fire works at the same time of night and saw the same thing but this time there was only two and it seemed that people were trying to set off fire works to blow them off close to them. I talked to other people that said that saw the exact same thing at or around the same region. About ten days later me and a different person saw the same peach colored light zoom across the sky but going in a north eastern direction. A total of about ten witnesses.

A very fast moving light across the sky moved over the area near Belsay and Perry Rds. at extreme speed and in the back drop jet with blinking lights was compared and speed was considerably slower than light. Light wasn't a satellite, or meteor. It moved in a diagonal path across a clear, star light night and finally disappeared in a cloud after about 90 seconds. The object appeared as a star size light at first, but the speed and movement alerted us to something not celestially fixed. It had no blinking lights as an aircraft or jet would have, it wasn't tacking along as a satellite does and speed was too fast, and it didn't leave a streak or a quickly burning and disappear as a meteor would do. It crossed from the edge of the southern eastern sky to the northern eastern sky line before disappearing in a transparent cloud as the night was fairly clear and the stars seen fairly well as this part of the area has few light pollution interference from the ground.

I was sitting on the beach, and was looking South towards a pier. A red light, which I thought to be plane, slowly rose from the horizon. The light was constant, and didn't blink. It moved toward a point that was directly above me, yet still very very far away. It did this so quickly that it couldn't have been manmade. The light instantly disappeared, and it was gone.

I looked out over the ocean from my deck and saw an orange/yellow light moving from north east to south west. It disappeared and then reappeared and then another one lit up to the south west for a moment. They both disappeared a few seconds after. Two jets appeared a few minutes later and appeared to follow the same path.

White lights that fluttered like wings at least 6 maybe more. Circling above me very dark otherwise. All I could do is shout how beautiful they are! They were silent although I heard some high pitch sounds after I went inside the house. I watched at least 30 min they were still there when I went inside.

On June 26th 2014, my husband and I were outside enjoying the night air in late evening. It was a bright night with many stars. We noticed a bright moving ‘star’ moving across the sky northward in a straight line as far out as the other stars. Suddenly stopped in the middle of the sky directly above our line of site. It did not move after it stopped… it stood completely still like a normal star for the entire time, which was about 20 minutes. The thing was not flashing or anything just a brighter light than the other stars. Got a little spooked and went inside. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Facing East and looking out over the ocean, several reddish/orange lights would appear, move from right to left in a horizontal line, and disappear, as if they were attached to something rotating. The lights were about the size of two or three bright stars combined as seen from earth. They would vary in number but always appear in a line if together. Sometimes the line would move, tilt, or the lights would get bigger, as if the object(s) were moving closer. At one point, three sets of lights could be seen in three different areas, as if there were three separate rotating objects. We then saw three white, smaller, blinking objects the size of stars that flashed rapidly in a series of three, that appeared in the direction of the previous phenomena and then moved quickly to the southwest in a line across the sky. Nothing appeared after this. The same phenomena happened last night around the same time and lasted approximately the same duration.
