At first I thought it was a satellite because it was vertical lights but realized it was twice the size. Waited for it to crash but it hovered and disappeared under the treeline.

Today planes were going North to South as seen at the end of the video captured... And at a much greater hight, was this Round Dark Silver Disk shaped object. NASA's #SolarLaunch was today! Coincidence?? or Alien tourism in the past achievements of Humans?

After reaching his home, I observed this object in the southern sky at about 179 degrees south at an 65 degrees off the horizon. It was round, with which looked like 'hands of a clock at 6:10, and white in color. The longer we looked at it and tried getting photos, more details came out. Several photos were taken and drawing in more detail. There was a wind blowing from the north at about 10-15 mph, so the object was traveling from the southern direction to the north. (See attached photo & drawing) By 1:30pm the object was at 347 degrees north from my resident at 85 degrees off horizon. By 2:20pm it was out of my sight due to trees and a butte. Altitude was hard to determine, as we are at 4300 feet, I would suspect the object was 10,000 or higher. Size, hard to say without a point of reference. Both Kingsley Field in Klamath Falls and the weather center in Medford, OR, have been called and message left. It has been noted that an object like this has been reported by numerous states recently. Observation balloon, weather instruments or something else? At this time unknown. RG Wright Former MUFON INVESTIGATOR, OREGON CS@LONEWOLFSLODGE.BIZ We suspect a high altitude balloon. We express our gratitude to Ron Wright for sharing the report. PD

Danville, IL
We were about to leave to go to my grandma's when my dad called for us to come outside. It was already dark out, keep in mind. I came outside with my other sibling. We observed an oval hovercraft, quite medium-sized and hanging low. It was a dark blue but I think that was because it was dark out and there was no light on it really besides the giant two lights underneath it. They were circular but they didn't cast light below, just seemed to glow on the hovercraft. I was attempting to bring out my phone but felt compelled to not take it out and record for some reason. After it had passed over the trees, I got my phone out and was confused why I couldn't take it out to record it when it was going by. It made no noise and traveled slow. Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Buhl, ID
I am a PhD former chemistry professor, age 56, avid amateur astronomer since age 13 who knows the night sky and where and when planets are visible and can recognize constellations even from a few stars. Other witnesses include both of my children (experienced sky observers—son has seen other UFOs of different shapes recently; I have not) and several teenage and adult friends of my daughter present at the youth rodeo event we were all attending Monday evening. I had brought my 7x50 mm binoculars to better see events and to check to see if I could tell what phase Venus was in, and if I could see any of Jupiter’s moons. Sunset was at 8:53 pm, and I started to look for Venus to the west right afterward. A couple of minutes before 9 pm, I saw what I thought was Venus much higher (about 40° altitude) and further south than expected. It also seemed much too bright, maybe magnitude -5.5 or even -6. I looked at this strange ‘Venus’ through the binoculars and found not the partly illuminated planet, barely resolved at the low magnification I was using, but instead an elliptical bright white object in its place. (I would later compare the object’s horizontal dimension with the spread of Jupiter’s moons, and found the object to be slightly broader). The object’s long dimension was horizontal, and the right side had a brilliant white glint that always remained the brightest as high-altitude sunset progressed and the object began to turn yellow, then orange. I found the real Venus about 20° to the lower right of this object’s position a little after 9 pm, and Jupiter about 40° to the object’s left, about the same altitude as the object above the horizon about 9:10 pm. I discerned no net movement of the object as Venus got lower after sunset, but it did start to take on a distinctly yellowish hue about 9:10 pm, then much more orange at about 9:14-15. It had also faded to about the same magnitude as Venus by then (-4.3 or so). It rapidly faded from naked eye sight at 9:17 pm, presumably from the sun setting at its rather substantial altitude. The sighting was not over, though, as I was able to find the object, probably +4 magnitude in the still dusk-illuminated western sky with my binoculars. It was now brownish-gray, only slightly brighter than the sky behind it, but now the right brightest spot had a faint pure white light that reminded me of a white LED. At random intervals I noticed very faint white sparkles as if other white LED lights were flashing on and off all over the now rather non-descript ellipse. The slightly mottled appearance it had when most brightly illuminated by the sun, with the very close odd dark halo on the left, was no longer apparent. I was able to find it fairly easily over and over despite not being able to see it with my naked eye because it stayed in the same exact spot where I had seen it, neither moving with the wind, nor moving with the night sky. The last time I saw it was close to 10 pm, and it seemed much smaller and fainter at that point, but still hovering in the same spot with the faint white light on the right side still going on and off, but now almost too faint to see. Object overall magnitude was about +6 or fainter at that point, and only its larger size compared to the pinpoint stars could distinguish it from them. I tried to find it again after 10 pm, but was unsuccessful. I tried to find it again at the same time period of 21:00 to 21:30 on Tuesday August 7th, but I saw nothing out of the ordinary, under almost identical observing conditions. Sky conditions were cloudless with some smoke from distant fires visible near the horizon. I was downtown in southeastern Buhl at the rodeo grounds, and there were a lot of bright lights both in the arena and the spectator areas, so my nighttime vision wasn’t fully dark-adapted. So light pollution was a problem, but not terribly so as the arena was to the east and the object was to the west south west. My son confirmed the shape and overall appearance of the UFO. I considered the possibility that it was a weather balloon, but long dimension is usually vertical with the real ones I’ve seen in the past, and the slight prevailing westerly wind should have moved it from its starting point to much closer or even overhead. I concede the balloon explanation may fit, but too many strange aspects just didn’t fit a mere weather balloon, hence my willingness to make this report. The fact that the object remained illuminated by the sun for 24 additional minutes after local sunset should prove useful in determining its altitude, despite it being about 40° above the western horizon rather than overhead—I was very careful to note the exact time it started to rapidly fade from naked eye visibility. I personally don’t know to calculate the UFO’s altitude from these observations, but I suspect it was over ten miles up at minimum. We will attempt to establish whether the object might have been a high-altitude balloon. PD

Nebraska City, NE
At approximately 11:10 on Satuday, July 28th, lights were seen coming out of the north northeast and disappearing into the southern sky. Lights were light green in color and not well defined. No noise at all was heard on a very quiet night. Four lights in total were observed. All sightings lasted 10 seconds from first observance. Second two traveled in perfect tandem; side by side at first, and switched position to top to bottom before disappearing from sight. Distance between the two lights never changed. Fourth green light behaved the same as the first. There were approximately 30 seconds between sightings. To our knowledge, all activity ceased by 11:15.

Deming, NM
On July 22, 2018, I was driving on HWY 26 from Hatch NM to I-10 towards Arizona through Demming and saw the same UFO as sighted on 7/1/18 in the same location. It was hanging in the sky for at least 20 minutes. It looked like an oblong disk hovering. Like a blimp but was not. I was traveling at least at a rate of 65 mph for over 20 miles and it was just to my left. When I turned into Deming, I still saw it over the mountain on my left. When I got onto I-10 it started to quickly ascend straight up into the atmosphere and disappear. I was going too fast to take a picture but was driving and no safe place to pull over- not sure my cell phone would have captured it well anyway. I kept thinking, doesn't anyone else see this?

July 19, 2018, Footage of unidentified anomaly in the sky, visible for over 4 hours. From about 5:30 to 9:30pm in broad daylight to after sunset. Viewed from multiple locations several miles apart. Watched it for about 3 hours (could see it while driving at freeway speeds, and our perspective to it made it appear quite far/high) before we could get to our cameras, then filmed and photographed for about 30 min at one location, moved to another location with a high viewpoint and was still visible for about 15 minutes. We pointed it out to several people and nearly 12-15 saw it as well. Its apparent path was west mostly against wind direction from 320 at 13mph at the time. It also didn't appear to follow the rotation of the earth thus the sun's path. Appeared to hold altitude as the sun was setting, and its diameter appeared to decrease significantly from initial sighting to last sight. I was able to borrow some small low magnification binoculars and look at it after about the first hour of observing it. At any rate, the video certainly speaks for its motion shape and look. I included some comparison photos of the Moon, Jupiter, and a distant aircraft taken with the same lens and camera. We discovered another video posted from eastern Idaho of what was clearly the same object, can provide a link. Here is the link to the video we made. https://youtu.be/S-UKYgoZbxo

At 9pm pst over Lad Vegas. My wife and I saw a Bright orange light moving very fast over apprx the I-15 Freeway moving north. It was at about 10k feet and moving at about 400 mph. It moved level towards the North East and about 3/4 mile behind was an aircraft pacing the object and clearly a plane with Red/green lighting unlike the Orb. It then promptly went out of view behind other homes. Was Awesome !!!!

I saw an oval orange object in front of some storm clouds. I thought it was an airplane's lights reflecting on the clouds, but it wasn't blinking and had a defined edge. It was a steady orange color, as if lit from inside. It then became covered by the clouds. I could still see its light behind the clouds for a few more seconds. From the exact spot in my yard where I saw it, there are no streetlights or anything else in the line of sight. I wondered if it could have been ball lightning, but it was stationary.

At 3AM on Fathers Day of 2018 myself and my friend witnessed a star-shaped UFO travel across the sky over us, after we both declared out loud we wanted to see a UFO. We both witnessed this star shaped object at the same time, moving faster than a Satellite but not as fast as a comet or shooting star. When we noticed it, I spoke to it saying "Show us something" and at that point it began to change colors as it moved, but left no trail. The other witness at that exact moment saw a white flash in the sky, as well.

The object suddenly appeared in the sky at a distance and was rapidly pulsing green light. The object was moving diagonally toward the earth at an extremely quick rate, and disappeared behind the horizon. It was about half the size of the moon from the perspective on the ground.

Both me and my boyfriend saw a oval shaped ring of lights in the sky last night, July 15th. The balls of light were too big to be stars and the shape didn't seem to be moving, just hovering. There was no outline to the thing, just glowing white lights. There was a haze around all the lights, they weren't like regular aircraft lights. We both saw it and tried to record it, but it was too dark to see anything on a phone camera. There was only one oval shape. It looked like it could have been hundreds of feet in diameter if it was a UFO. We sat and watched it for about 5 minutes and then we drove away and didn't see it again.

Brigham City, UT
I was walking to the post office with a friend and I looked up into the blue sky and saw a UFO in Brigham City, Utah, at about 8:50 PM this evening ( 7/13/18). It was a black egg or oval shaped object, and quiet. My friend went back to get binoculars and the object was slowly and gradually getting higher in the sky and got progressively smaller until it was a speck in the sky.

At least 2 airliners and the helicopter had passed by at different altitudes and times which gave me the perspective of great distant. I also went and got my roommate and she brought her binoculars out and saw it too. Since that day...I went outside at the same time Thursday, Friday and tonight to see if maybe this was a star. It was not! No object was in sight since then. I wish I could have taken a picture. My phone camera could not pic up the object.
