Fort Collins, CO
At approximately 7:14pm (MT), we saw a bright orange light through the trees above our neighborhood. It was a large, bright warm light, almost like a ball of fire or flare. It moved steadily, arcing North then Northwest at potentially 500-1500ft. elevation. No sound whatsoever. It disappeared out of sight after a couple minutes of flying overhead. As it disappeared it seemed to sputter like a meteor losing steam- except much more slowly. Several minutes later, a second object, originating from the same location as the first rose through the trees. Instead of following the same flightpath, it moved east and seemed to fall slowly out of sight, seeming to burn out as it did. In the absence of its warm light, it seemed grey, dull and ashy- very hard to see.

We were driving down the road we noticed a bright orb in the sky. This was seen from above the treeline behind Lake Aimes. The orb was roughly 2-3 miles back and about 1200ft high. We checked the flight radar and nothing was there.

At approximately 7:55pm EST, I was traveling S/SW when I noticed an enormous orange light HIGH in the southwestern sky. I thought it was strange for Venus to be so orange and bright and high at this hour, so I slowed my car and pointed my EarthSky app in its direction and got nothing that should have been there. Venus was below the horizon and like I said, it was bigger and brighter than when I’ve seen even Arcturus or Sirius at their brightest. And it was VERY ORANGE. I drove to the end of the road where a public boat launch is located. I come to this place often to look at the stars due to the wide-open viewing area over the lake. At this point, the orange light was much lower in the sky, hanging just above the houses on the opposite shore of the lake (looking straight out from the boat launch, which is SW…to my left are the Great Smoky Mountains in the S and to my right are the distant lights of our small downtown to the W…where I watch the sunset). The light appeared motionless as if it were a planet (even though it clearly wasn’t as high as it had been a few minutes earlier). I viewed the light through my binoculars which I rested on the roof of my car to stabilize my view. It looked like an orange sphere with maybe even a black shadow on the right side. I got back in my car and I took a video with my iPhone8plus through my open passenger window. The time stamp on the video is 8:01pm and the video is 48 seconds long. The camera is zoomed in to its max and you can see the light hovering over the house iights on the opposite shore. Even though the video is shaky, the light never appeared to move or even “twinkle” to my eye. I quit recording and continued to attempt identification with my sky app (and make sure it was properly calibrated). As I pointed my phone towards the light about a minute and a half later, the light was gone. . GONE. I immediately filmed again to say “it’s gone !” and the timestamp on that 26 second video is 8:04pm. I never detected movement of the light with my naked eye (like one would with a plane or a satellite), but I clearly observed this light at two very different heights above the horizon within minutes…and then the light just not being there at all. On the map provided, circle 1 is where I first observed the light, circle 2 is where I stopped my car on the road to look at it through my app, and circle 3 is where I observed the object through my binoculars and took the videos.

It was an orange orb or fireball that moved in one direction at first like a plane, then seemed to hover, then moved from side to side, and within a couple of minutes, vanished.

Heber City, UT
On the above date, while hanging our Christmas lights and looking up into a clear, blue sky, I witnessed a solid, round and metallic object fly over our neighborhood traveling East to West. The object clearly reflected sunlight. Unsure if the object was a sphere or a disc, but if I had to pick one, I would choose sphere. I only sighted the object for roughly 2 seconds, but was able to discern its shape and reflectivity. The object flew at a level flight level. Having experienced conventional aircraft flying at above the speed of sound, this object was moving much faster. It made no sound. Completely silent. The object flew almost directly above our home. I would estimate the object to have flown approximately 500 feet above my head, again, at a very high rate of speed. It continued West towards the Wasatch Mountains in the direction of Utah County just south of Macdonald Field. Upon witnessing the object, I ran into our home to inform my family. My wife informed me that our cable tv had also briefly cut out. There were no aircraft in the vicinity that I could visually identify. I had a brief but clear view of the object.

Wheatfield Twp., MI
8:25 PM, Having reached the top step on the porch, my husband raised both his arms and proclaimed that the whole place was lit from above. This was twenty minutes after the power failed, and we searched the basement in vain for the lantern light. Later, from the bay window, I watched as blue beams danced over the pile of fall leaves raked in the front yard. Around 9 PM, I get a call from the woman down the street. She describes a large sphere of blue light as It passes above her yard. I asked her if she could estimate the size of the object. Her signal is interrupted by static; that’s when I felt the heavy beat in my chest. I decided to check the landline in the upstairs bedroom. After disconnecting the answering machine, the reassuring hum of the dial tone was still there. 9:30 PM, Bathed in the brilliant light of the blue globe, the neighborhood kids played tag amongst the Birch trees that lined Columbia.

My son and I both witnessed. I’ve spent 6 years working on fighter jets. This was definitely not a jet of any sort and left no sound trace.

Muncie, IN
I was working on a jobsite outside when I looked up and seen a metal spherical object hovering above us in the sky. At first glance i could tell it was "wierd" it stayed there for a couple of min. Then it moved ahead of us and stopped again. It was at a high elevation but I could see detail that could let me assume it was pretty big. I then showed my apprentice that was working with me and he said it's def not a plane. I agreed. It moved all around above us for a while moving in all directions against the wind. My boss started yelling at us saying get back to work and we tried to show him but he is a hard core Christian and would even look at it just saying we're stupid and it's just a plane. At that point I had to work but I said hold on because it was a crazy thing to see. It has no wings and it couldn't be mistaken to have any. We both couldn't quit staring at it so I grabbed my phone a filmed. It the film isn't bad but what we could see with out eyes was far better. I zoomed in amd out with camera, and on camera it looks to be shinny or white. It was not. If anything it was dull silver or gray and when it flew through the clouds, the clouds would cast a shadow over half of it and really could see the size and color. It 100% was not a balloon or a plane. Idk what it is but you would have to see in person. Why I am finialky turning this in is because of all the videos I have seen recently that show this exact same looking craft. I have seen several and some the dod has released that is from what I can tell a dead match for this. Only reason I'm taking the time to type all this on phone is because it was a crazy thing to see and all the look alike vids with same object. A side note that may be relevant is every day after we seen this object a pair of A-10's was flying all around the same area and the only base close is a reserve base pretty far away. The object in video is not moving around as much as it looks because I was zoomed on and shaking the camera a little. It never zipped away or moved really fast but instead just flew around us for a while before heading away in distance in a straight line opposite of the wind. I only filmed a small part of it because my boss wss starting to flip out and I was pushing my luck staying and filming what I did. Any questions can call me at 765-508-2234. Hope this helps in atleast a small way. (Also there was no lights on it that i could see and it made absolutely no sounds that I could hear) but seeing it in person I could see it's color with detail and it appeared to be agiant metal ball that could fly.

Near Mt. Vernon, ME
On the evening of November 19, 2021, around 5 pm, I was on my way home from work, when I noticed a very bright spherical object in the sky to the southwest. The sky was overcast, and the sun was setting, so it was pretty dark out. At first, I thought I was looking at Venus, but then I remembered the cloud cover. I slowed down to get a better look at the object. The object had moved from east to west for a short period of time, and then remained stationary. It seemed to be about a half of a mile away, and about 1500 ft in elevation. It was a golden white sphere, a little smaller than a pea at that distance. As I was watching, it ejected 5 smaller spheres, which remained for a couple seconds, and then disintegrated into a glittery looking substance that disappeared. Shortly after, the sphere ejected 5 more smaller spheres, which also disintegrated. The sphere remained for about 20 to 30 seconds following that, and then it disappeared, but it didn’t disintegrate. I would say that the total time I observed the object was about 10 minutes from when I first spotted it. I was on Old Belgrade Rd, about 3 miles from Mt. Vernon, ME, and I was traveling west.

Cordesville, SC
I was hunting off of Irishtown Road in the Francis Marion National Forest. It was an evening hunt and I was by myself. I walked into the woods on a hiking trail. When it became too dark to hunt, I descended from the tree I was hunting from and packed up my portable deer stand and began to walk out. I’ve always been very comfortable in the woods, and I could see the hiking trail with the small amount of trace twilight. So I didn’t use my flashlight. As I was walking down the trail, the frogs and insects began to make a lot of noise. It was quite loud and natural to the area. Then a light suddenly appeared about 100 yards away near where my truck was parked. The light began to swing back and forth. I thought there was a game warden on the hiking trail and he was signaling to let me know he was there. It’s common to be checked for proper licensing in this area. I literally thought, ‘oh he has a battery operated lantern and he’s swinging it back and forth like a train conductor.’ That’s what it looked like, a lantern being swung back and forth. So I responded by clicking my flashlight on and off in his direction to let him know I saw him. That’s when everything got weird. When I flashed my light, the light immediately disappeared, and the symphony of natural noise (frogs, crickets, etc.) immediately went silent. The hair stood up on the back of my neck. I wasn’t thinking anything supernatural at this point. I was thinking maybe there was someone out there that didn’t want me to see them, but by this time I was within 30 yards of where the light appeared. The forest had a very dry thick bed of leaves on the ground. Anything walking in the woods would easily be heard, but there was absolutely no sound at all. I am 57 years old. I was 56 when this happened and I’ve hunted this forest since I was 7. I’ve never experienced anything like this, and I’ve never heard the forest go absolutely silent in a moment. Now, I was very scared. I began to formulate how I could get to my truck and get out of there. I thought someone may be hiding in the bed of my truck or behind my truck. It wasn’t registering yet what I had really seen. I made it to my truck, threw my gear in the back and drove out of there at a high rate of speed. As I was driving home, I began putting the pieces together and realized this was something not natural. The light was distinct and bright. It wasn’t a ‘faint’ light. And the reaction to my presence, the flashing of my light, seemed to cause it to flee, for lack of better words. But it didn’t go off the trail. It simply disappeared like it had appeared. I will never go back in those woods alone again. I’m a man of faith, a pastor, and I’m not given to exaggeration. I’m hoping you can help me with some type of explanation or perhaps there is someone else who has experienced this same phenomena.

Elgin, IL
I was biking home when I saw two stationary orange orbs in the sky. One was slightly higher than the other and to the right. I noticed they weren’t moving so I stopped and observed. They were very high as a plane flew past nearby and it was below them. As I was staring the one that was higher up suddenly faded out. I thought I saw a flash of light above me. I was underneath a broken street lamp so I was watching it, waiting for it to flicker again. It never did. Another flash of light caught my eye, this one was to the left. So the flashes of light corresponded with the position of orbs. When I looked back, the second orb was also gone.

7-8 SPHERE'S WHITE IN COLOR WAS PLAYING IN MID AIR BACK AND FORTH LEFT TO RIGHT AS ONE FOLLOWED ANOTHER & UP AND DOWN, THEY WERE CHASING EACH OTHER AS ENGAGING IN PLAY, ONE WOULD FLY TO LEFT AS ONE FOLLOWED DISAPPEARING & REAPPEARING THEN THE OTHER,. AS THE OTHERS FLY AROUND IN CIRCLES AND THE OTHERS MOVED UP & DOWN DOING THE SAME, IN A METHODICAL PATTERN LIKE A GAME WITH A MESSAGE. VERY STRANGE. TRYING TO TAKE A PHOTOS, THEN A HIGH ALTITUDE JET APPEARS ABOVE THEM, SO THEY BEGAN TO MOVE OUT LIKE IN A SINGLE FILE MOVING OUT TO LEFT, AND DISAPPEARING OUT OF SIGHT. SO A LARGE AIRCRAFT COULD BE INDENTIFIED AT THIS TIME AND LOCAL. NOV,14 2021 @ 010:40 ITS A MAJOR HUB IN GREENVILLE, SC SHOPPING ETC.

San Clemente, CA
My girlfriend and I were leaving the beach and walking along the bike path at Trestles beach. There were super clear skies and the sun had just set. As we walked we watched the sky change colors from the sunset and I noticed a bright white star which I guessed was a planet. As we kept walking I noticed an even larger light in the sky which at first glance looked like Mars. It was bigger than the other planet we saw and was bright orange and red. I thought it odd because its size was much bigger than usual. Maybe twice as big as Saturn in the night sky. I mentioned it to my girlfriend and we were both curious about what it could be. We talked about it a bit and both thought it was odd. So I set my bags down and got out my phone and opened the Star Walk App. I lifted it up to see what the object could be and the object was gone. I then pointed the Star Walk App at the other planet we saw and that was Saturn. Then went back to the area in the sky whe! re the Orange ball had been. I could almost still see it but it was much smaller - like it had traveled much farther away in a matter of seconds. Then I noticed on the App that Mars was in rotation ahead of the Sun and had set below the horizon earlier - so no way it was Mars. Not anything we could clearly confirm but definitely one of the oddest things I’ve seen in the sky for some time!

Moving at level flight from the south east heading north west approx. 3-5 thousand feet. orange spheres traveling in twos very fast. started off very bright and slowly dimming. At first sighting I saw eight orbs. They headed north slowing to a stop. then fading out. Then another two, then another, and they kept coming in twos. In my binoculars I could see a light that seemed to slowly circling the orb. I'm an amature astronomer and familiar with aircrafts, I was not confused on what I saw. My wife used her camera phone but we have yet to download to computer.

Lawrence, KS
10-12 glowing orange balls were seen passing over the eastern end of Lawrence Ks. These orange balls were traveling from SE to NE, and were traveling roughly in a line. Several times one of the balls could be seen to pass other balls before fading out. This fading out appeared to happen when the balls would travel higher, out of eye-shot. It was fully dark at this time and I was walking from my neighbor's yard back to mine when I noticed them. I have never seen anything like this before. My background is educated, office worker, and not prone to believing in conspiracy theories. But this was weird!

Boulder, CO
I live on Flagstaff Mountain in Boulder, CO and was driving into town around 9:30am. on Nov. 6th, 2021. We see a lot of hang gliders, parachutes, etc, so I didn't think too much about the objects when I first spotted them. We also have NCAR (National Center for Atmospheric Research) out here, so I've seen weather balloons before, as well. As I drove closer into town, down the mountain, I noticed they weren't descending, which was odd. As I almost got down into town, 2 fighter jets flew by, that's when I decided to pull over and film. Again, I know we have a large Air Force base in Colorado Springs, so not super unusual to see some fighter jets, but quite interesting I saw them during this moment. The objects were silent and hovering together, also too large to be drones. I wish I had a way of demonstrating size, but they were in the distance and definitely too large for drones. I watched for as long as I could, I had to get to an appointment, but I lost sight of them after driving into Lafayette, about 5 miles from Boulder. I drove up to another high spot and couldn't find them anywhere in the sky. Watched the news hoping someone else might have recorded or seen these objects, but I haven't found any info. Hope you guys could find an explanation. Thanks for your time.

Wadsworth, IL
I went to Van Patten Woods forest preserve and parked my car in one of the stalls. I started playing my CE5 tones for about 10 minutes. Then, I played the guided meditation which lasted about 20 minutes. When I finished, I got out of my car and began looking in the sky in a grassy field. Almost immediately, I noticed a shiny/bright circular craft hovering in the sky. It started out high in the sky and it began to lower itself. Once it went behind a cloud and peaked underneath it, it began traveling at a steady pace traveling north towards a section of the sky that had chemtrails. It slowly drifted away and faded upwards into the sky where it completely vanished. After the craft disappeared, I noticed some clouds that appeared to have letters as if someone or something wrote in the sky around the area where I first spotted the craft. Now I could be crazy but it appeared as if it spelled "America". Not sure if these ET's were giving a tour of some sort but it is quite interesting to say the least.

Tucson, AZ
Halloween night 21:25 Due Southwest from out back patio, our house is in Midtown Tucson, Arizona. Directly below Jupiter and above/left of Saturn in the sky. At 21:25 we saw an object that appeared to be on fire in the sky. Initially thought a plane was on fire. Right after we saw it, the bright orange object flared up for approximately two seconds, then began to dim. It looked like an orange sphere for a few seconds. The object began moving in a West-North-West direction, towards I-10. The object dimmed until only a grayish dot could be seen. By the time the object reached due West from our position, it was out of sight.

Strange bright white light hovering which seems to be just above the tree tops on a mountain side, object was moving like a swinging back and forth motion, then it would go up the mountain side and then back down. I saw this light about a month ago, and then yesterday morning to the left of the mountain, same light and same moving characteristics. And saw the same object tonight on 10-29-21 on the right hand side of the mountain same place where I saw it the first time. Witnessed by my girlfriend as well.
