Altamonte Springs, FL
A friend and I were sitting at the cranes roost, In Altamonte Springs. We were just sitting there after having gone for a brisk walk and I noticed something coming out of the sky from the East. There were three red lights moving in a westerly direction. It appeared they were in a formation. Behind them was another three, and then another three. At first it appeared that there was a total of 12. The first 12 one by one disappeared into the night sky. Then there appeared another set of 12 coming in formations of three. Those 12 disappeared into the sky too. There was no sound, no motion, no flickering of light. There was just 24 solid red lights that vanished into the sky.

Monday, May 19, 2014. Approximately 8:50 p.m., I spotted some red lights in the Northern sky moving South West across the sky. They started appearing one at a time and took a kind of formation as they rose into the sky, first there were three in a triangle formation a space then four in a rectangle formation, they three more until twenty three appeared and moved gently across the sky and disappeared into the night sky. They moved at the same rate of speed and in the same direction, while they disappeared at varying spots across the sky. During this time I noted we could see the stars clearly in the sky, an airplane traveling from the South East to North West through and passed the red lights. The interesting part was the red lights never blinked like the lights on the airplane and we noted that while the airplane was moving away from us we could still see it in the distance while the red lights completely disappeared at various points of the sky. I did try to take a picture of the lights – un! successfully – the lights did not show up on my I-phone and subsequently did not show up on the pictures I took. I suspect the lights were too small and too far away. I am not sure if this is an actual UFO siting but thought it to be rather interesting and unusual experience for me and my friend. There were two other people watching as the red lights cross the sky and multiple walkers in the park noticing the lights as we watched. The total duration of the siting approximately 4 – 5 minutes.

Northampton, PA
Wave of 6 lights seemed to be at low altitude but not low enough to see a shape or the light emitted concealed the shape. There was now sound that we could hear and they seemed to be traveling at a cruising speed and were different sizes. The largest being the red one with kind of a haze to it. The next largest seemed to be red, orange, and yellow but flickering kinda like it was on fire but not. The second wave came in about 2 minutes after the first with 4 objects in the wave 2 of which seemed like duplicates of the red and the fire ball type in the first wave all seemed to be going in same direction from where I was standing North to South. The other objects seemed just like a white light but it didn't look like normal white light one did have a tint of green.

One orange light hovered soundlessly about 100 yards away. Another orange light joined it and the two went out over the lake to the east. they seemed to stop, regrouped, then disappeared only to reappear a minute later and seemed to be coming back toward my vantage point. No noise, just lights acting mysteriously. I managed to unprofessionally video three, three minute tapes.

5 miles South of Lake Ontario...I was driving North and saw a very bright yellowish light, I thought it was a plane, but it would have been either very large, or very close. As I was driving North, it kept getting lower and lower and I'm thinking, it's going to either land or crash. As I turned and started heading East, I saw another one...as I was driving about 55, It appeared to be moving to the east also, but that could have been an optical illusion as it was so large. There appeared to be smoke trails following it. I arrived at my destination and walked around the side of the building where another customer approached me and asked if I was ok...I pointed to the sky. We could see 2 of the very large bright lights, and as we watched the surrounding sky was turning different shades of pale red. After I came out of the store and started heading North again, I noticed a group of people in a parking lot watching one and taking pictures. I stopped and asked if we were getting invaded and they were like...maybe...I drove home heading West and saw 2 of them...one got lower and lower and finally went out, but the other appeared to be traveling West. I arrived home and looked North and could one through the trees. I ran inside for my camera, but when I got back it was gone. Walked to the end of the road and the other was gone too. I saw this at 12:45 am - 1:10 am.

Saturday night i was smoking a joint, and i saw this weird light flying by my house, i started video taping with my iphone but the quality didn't capture the light but i kept the camera recording. Once the light flew away and disappeared i whistled (to get its attention lol i was high) and then a very loud high frequency noise came from the direction of where the light disapeared from. You can hear it on the video i posted.

Enfield, CT
My daughter and I got home at 10:05pm last night. As we were getting out of the car, I saw 4 bright orange lights moving across the sky at an altitude of a plane. They were evenly spaced and flew across the sky in a perfect row at the speed of a plane flying by. Then a fifth one appeared into sight more of a distance behind the first four. Then a sixth one. They passed in a line one following the other until out of sight behind the trees. I thought they looked like Chinese lanterns but seemed to big at the altitude they were flying at. I never saw anything like that before!

My husband and I were barbecuing last night and witnessed a strange object in the sky. It was a round object glowing with yellow, orange, and red hues. It lingered for a time and we caught it on camera, although it is difficult to see the strange hue it was emitting in the video. It lingered in the sky for some time before it disappeared. It reappeared again a short time later and then disappeared in the sky again. It was like nothing we have ever seen before and was definitely not an airplane or helicopter.

De Soto, MO
On a clear night, with no planes in a rural location, we saw what started as 4 red-orange, somewhat flickering lights moving in a random formation through the southeast sky. As we watched them moving, some began to move more quickly and in direct paths. After a few moments, a few more came up from the horizon. They lasted about 5-6 minutes before fading out. They varied slightly in brightness. They were completely silent. The formation seemed like something directly out of a classic ufo sighting tv show, and this being such a rural area, the only other thing we could imagine they could be were chinese lanterns, or other flame driven balloons. They arced up a bit as they traveled, and we observed that they were arcing with the prevailing winds. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Wilmington, PA
I was heading North on I-95 less than a mile South of Wilmington. I am quite sure, but not certain, that the object flashed brightly just before briefly going out of view behind a sign, from my perspective. Once my attention was focused on it, I was looking at a vertically oriented thin red-orange light that seemed to be suspended in the air. The top was maybe a bit larger than the rest. It was like a little piece of illuminated string hanging in the sky. It was way up in the sky by itself and seemed to be completely still. It was far away and I had to keep driving safely; I lost sight of it after 30 seconds or less. I exited in Wilmington to see if I could see it again. No luck.

Mortimer Common (Berkshire) (UK/England) · United Kingdom
It was night time around 10:30pm, when I was stood at my bedroom window looking out at the stars. There was a few stars out, but not that many, so the sky was pretty clear for the most part. As I continued to admire the beauty of the night sky, some object moved straight into view. I don’t know where it came from, because it appeared so quickly. As it continued to fly past my house, it suddenly stopped dead in the sky and performed a circular motion in a matter of seconds and then flew off at great speed. I would say it was no larger than a star at night, but it was a very bright object. It actually appeared to leave the earth very quickly, and it literally just vanished. I have to say it was the most amazing sighting of a UFO I have ever seen, and I am still baffled by was it was. Was it an E.T craft? I can’t say for sure, other than its a possibility. All I know is, no earth based technology could of pulled off this maneuver. It just looked out of this world. I wish I had filmed it, but as usual I never have my camera on hand to catch these things. Witness indicates that the date is approximate. PD

First I thought it was just a falling star but then the light did a 360 to head back in the direction it came. I then noticed that there were others. They all appear to be making circles. They would drop real low in altitude then climb real high in altitude. They just look as lights in the sky. When they would climb altitude the light would dim and when they would drop in altitude the light would appear as one circle beam. They were the same color as the stars in the sky. I am a psychology student, the first to spot it. My husband is some one who always looks at the sky. The third observer noticed the ufos after texting him.

Le 15 mai 2014 vers 23h la gendarmerie patrouille avec un hélicoptère au-dessus de Lyon. Une caméra embarquée filme durant plus de 10 minutes un PAN lumineux avec une forte scintillation. L'objet lumineux fixe est visible à l'œil nu durant 2h et demie. De nombreux paramètres permettent de conclure à une confusion avec l’étoile Antarès (voir le compte rendu d'enquête) : - Observation longue, plus de deux heures ½. - Position fixe dans le ciel. - Présence d’une forte scintillation bien visible sur la vidéo, même lorsque le point lumineux se présente sous la forme d’un artefact (« couronne tronquée »). A cette faible élévation, la scintillation des étoiles est souvent très présente. - Proximité angulaire de la Lune et du PAN, ce dernier étant situé dans la vidéo. L’étrangeté de ce cas est faible : elle est surtout causée par l’aspect inhabituel du PAN, avec sa forte scintillation, tel que perçu par les témoins n’ayant jamais utilisé la caméra auparavant pour observer le ciel. Le témoignage est peu consistant, avec assez peu de données fournies par le témoin, mais une vidéo a été faite du phénomène et a pu être exploitée. Ce cas est à classer en «A» comme confusion certaine avec l’étoile Antarès. [GEIPAN classification A — Antares]

Winter Springs, FL
I was laying in bed when I just happened to glance out my window, and heading towards the south I saw this large white light with a blue tend flying across the sky extremely fast and blinking along the way. The light was about as big as the moon, but slightly smaller. It had a bluish tint. I could not figure out whether there was more than just one, because as soon as I went into my yard to get a better look at it, the object was nowhere to be found. The object looked exactly like a giant star. I heard no sounds from it.

I was on my way back from the movies when my sister and I pulled into our neighborhood. Nearing our cul-de-sac I noticed multiple lights flashing one after another over the tree line. It seemed to be a circular shape. It slowly moved out of sight. Then, after continuing to look in the sky I noticed what looked like a similar light (same brightness and shape) burst off into the sky and disappeared.

Bentonville, AR
My brother and I were fishing at the lake here in Bentonville. I happened to look out to the west and noticed a light dancing over the wood line. At first it appeared like something similar to a stunt plane. But then I occurred to me that its 9:00 pm, and the object was doing acrobatics at an extremely high rate of speed. The object stayed a white colored, until it would ascend and immediately change to a strange blue color. Now, when I say this object moved at a high rate of speed, i literally have never seen something move that fast, its almost mind boggling. After about 5 or 6 mins of acrobatics, the light grew dim, and shot upwards into the atmosphere at an unbelievable rate of speed. My brother observed this event too, we've never seen anything like it in this area.

Surprise, AZ
At approximately 2:20pm on 5/13/2014 in Surprise, AZ, I was laying on a raft in my pool looking at the sky. The sky was completely clear blue no clouds. I saw one small round white dot or light moving steadily through the sky in a line. It wasn’t moving very fast. It looked like it could have possibly been spinning or moving in small circles at times. It seemed like it was very high up in the sky. Higher then a plane or bird would fly. I asked my husband what it was. It took him a minute to spot it. Neither of us could identify what it was. I’ve never seen anything like it. I continued to watch it for about 5-7min. It went in a straight line, then seemed to stop spin in place in small circles then turned and continued moving in a straight line again until I could no longer see it. The object left no trail and made no sound. I noticed someone else had posted something similar to what I saw on 4/3/2014 in Surprise AZ. What they described sounded exactly like what we saw.

Westminster, CA
I was heading south on a residential street when I saw what looked like a falling star. The bright light came down fast, like a meteor falling to earth, then slowed tremendously to look like a helicopter landing. The direction it was in it would have been over the ocean around Oceanside/Carlsbad area. Once the object slowed and I realized it was a craft and not a falling star I recorded it with my cell phone. It went straight down from start to finish, and once it slowed it did not change speed again.
