Bellevue, WA
A large glowing ball of flame, green and red, hurtled through the sky in a linear, due north direction. Faded into the distance as a dim red star. No sound. the size initially was from my location approximately the size of a pencil eraser. Billowing fire as it traversed the sky. Very likely a meteor. The green color was quite spectacular. Barium possibly?

Me and my dad were in the pool late at night it happened as I asked what would you do if aliens came over our house right now? He answered back saying, "I don't know" seconds after we looked into the stars and saw a huge bright green and purple light traveling across the sky the seemed to disappeared in less than a second.

I was sitting in my backyard, when I noticed a bright dark red ball above my neighbor's house. It was stationary for a few seconds and started to move left, so I stood up and grabbed my phone so I could record it. While I was recording it, I asked it to come back. At that point it stopped and then started returning to the right back towards me. I was a little freaked out that it heard me and I said to it that you are following me and then the light went out. I have blown up a few stills from the video and appears to be round built out of perfect squares with light from within. As well appears to have some sort of vapor coming from both top and bottom of craft.

Headed out of my house to work, I looked to see a beautiful bright Venus in Eastern Sky. I then noticed a "Bright, Orange, Light, Fireball, possibly Craft it seemed to be traveling away from Earth as it got smaller and smaller. I didn't hear any sound of propulsion and It did not leave a trail, but it was orange in color and Very Bright for first couple of mins.

Geneva, IL
Red orb clearly visible looking south. Light was constant and did not have the regular blinking of airplane and motion was not in a consistent speed or pattern. Appeared to be coming in my direction then turned east. Seemed to hover for several seconds before turning again and heading away from me (south) very fast.

The fireball was traveling east moving forward then zigzagged, stopped in mid-air, it then dropped or fell in the sky, then shot off at great speed & it was gone. It made no sound.

It moved really slow any frist I thought it was that bag you light and floats in the sky. Then I was, like no way, it started picking up speed and was gon fast then any aircraft I seen. It was just floating like it was checking us out. One of the people I was with thought it was a shooting star I was like know way it's floating marking no sound, I recorded it and you you tell we never seen my thing like this ever. I set out every night staring at the stars I live next to a airport it was no such thing. Kinda of creepy. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

New Oxford, PA
My location: Route 94 heading north, Hamilton Twp,, Adams County, Pennsylvania 39.889562, 77.041664 While driving, I saw a bright orange sphere that looked like a setting sun but he sun set at 8:32pm. It was at 350 degrees azimuth and 30 degrees elevation. At arm's length, it was ¾” in diameter. While driving, I saw it for 10 seconds, before losing it behind a hill, then again for 3 seconds before losing it again. After cresting the next hill, it was gone. I could not tell if it was moving. The skies were mostly cloudy, so it may have gone behind a cloud, or been stationary and a cloud moved in front of it. I was not drinking or on medication, and am of sound mind.

Wilsall, MT
I observed three egg-shaped lights in a tight cluster, but not touching. One of the lights turned to the east and hovered over the Crazy Mountains. I woke my husband, and we observed the huge white light in the sky. We went outside and it triggered our exterior motion lights. The object receded quickly, until it looked like a small star but within less than a minute, it came forward, and again hovered over the mountains. We observed this for 30 minutes. We suspect a sighting of Venus. PD

Vero Beach, FL
At approximately 1:45 AM Eastern Time, I was walking my dog, and as usual, stargazing. As I walked down 40th Ave., towards 12th Street in Vero Beach, Florida, I saw a large fireball appearing light falling to earth, at approximately 45 Degree angle, but curving, not coming straight down. The ball of light lit the clouds orange, as it went behind the cloud and below the tree line, and out of sight. There was no sound at all and I watched the area of the sky for another 10 minutes, but I saw nothing more. It looked like the video of the Russian Chelyabinsk Meteor that came down in 2013, before the explosion and nowhere near as bright but the trajectory as this orange ball of fire was on a very similar angle. I did not see a tail or trail behind it, and it appeared to move at a uniform speed, but slower than one would expect a meteor to fly. This was amazing to watch, I hope I can find out more out about it. I noticed my dog that is a wolf hybrid, seemed mesmerized, and watched it, as I did, until lost from our sight. My dog just stood there and continued to stare in the direction we had seen the fireball fall behind the tree line for several minutes. Direction when I first saw the fireball it was at about 94 degrees East and at about 45 degrees up with the flat horizon being 0 degrees (I do not know the proper term here), and I lost sight of it at about 104 degrees NE at a height of about 25 degrees. It traveled that space in between 15 and 25 maybe 35 seconds.

I was in my car with my son and was able to see a bright star-like shaped light just above and to the right of an easily noticed plane flying by. I initially thought it was a bright star until it instantly grew bigger, as if it was moving forward while it became even brighter. Suddenly, it dropped straight down while growing a little larger and seemed to disappear for a couple of seconds re-appear in the same place. This object then continued to drop in the night sky until it disappeared as if to have landed someplace. My son confirmed seeing the same as I saw and we could not believe it. We compared possibilities to agree this was not normal and, definitely, no falling star. We are still at awe and my son is an adult too. We immediately had to get online to find possible reports posted.

It flew for about .5 km before disappearing. From the time of the first flash to the time it disappeared was about 3-5 seconds. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) I was thinking the same thing. It seemed to have landed near or in Brantley Lake. Because of the lights not covering the entire area of its surface and it being visible between flash and skid I'm uncertain what it was. I have seen meteors before. Because of the similarity to a report from the same area 2 hours prior, I'm almost certain it was not a meteor. There was a barking and whining band of coyotes running from the area after we heard a coyote yelp. We were startled by this and left the area. Thank you for your response. I honestly do not feel what I saw can be as easily explained. ((END ADDENDUM))

South Dewey Beach, DE
I was on Coastal Hwy in South Dewey Beach, DE, heading south towards the Indian River Bridge, still some 5 miles away, and saw what looked like a shooting star. It was bright white fireball with an end tail and traveled very fast from Atlantic Ocean sky left to land or water right over Rehoboth Bay, DE. Possibly a meteor?? PD

Solid non flashing 100% not a drone or shooting Star. The light slowly hovered the pond beore shot out of sight to the south at light speed. 100% believe this was a UFO. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Burning orange flamed ball of light traveling northwest about the same height as helicopters travel. Totally silent. Suddenly, the light went out and the orb object appeared black. Slowed briefly before turning and continuing on out of sight.

i was sitting in a friends backyard roasting s'mores with them and my family. their was 7 of us including me. we were sitting their for about 1hr to an 1 and a half talk about random things like school when i saw something from the corner of my eye. i saw this round ball of fire falling down from the sky so i pointed it out to the others. at first we thought it was an asteroid or a meteor because it just fell behind some houses about 1/2 a mile out. but them it flew up and at an angle back into the sky and started to do circles in the sky then it just disappeared. it got really quiet between the 7 of us like 'did that really just happen to us?'. we kind of just left it unspoken about of the rest of the night. The ship looked like a firework that was falling at first but it had a tail following it. when it was doing circlers in the sky the tail did this weird tail flick kind of like a cat does when it's scared. it then just disappeared in a blink of an eye.
