Last night at 23:10, my son came in house and woke me. He said, "You gotta come look." I went out look up lights mostly white but with red in them moving all over southern sky moving up down sideways at speeds that in no way were aircrafts from here. We watched for 10 mins, then I ran in house woke up my wife. She came out saw also, but she only saw for a few seconds and it took off.

The object beamed VERY BRIGHT lights down towards the ground. It would disappear also but when it lit up is when you could see the definite saucer shape. They would fly abnormally over the lake and when they got closer to us there was a whirring or humming sound that was present. The thing that caught my attention was that they each attached themselves to each other and detached.

Right after sundown my husband was pulling our car into the garage and noticed a bright light to the west in the sky. It was a hazy, cloud covered sky and with no at that time. He came in the house to get his binoculars and then 5 min. later asked me, his wife, to come outside to look at something. At first it appeared oblong with many lights that were a bright white in color, when looking through the binoculars. However it started changing shapes and was moving to the right and then to the left and then started making maneuvers that were seemingly random, changing shapes and slowly moving closer, then farther away and making zigzag, circular and other shapes of movement. After about 30 minutes it started getting farther away and was totally gone within 5 minutes. We have amended the time of the sighting shown above. PD

At around 11:15p.m. this orange ball came from the corner of our home moving very slowly, with no noise. (This was not a helicopter). Looking from our deck if you were to hold a dime to the object, that would be the size of it. It moved to a point and began to come closer to the deck. It then stopped in mid-air. It did not move for approximately 30 seconds and it then receeded backwards, getting smaller as it moved and vanished. It did not disappear into a cloud, it simply got smaller in size and disappeared. There were no flashing lights on this object. This was just a steady orange glow, in a very steady line. This said, my daughter, ninety minutes earlier, saw the same thing at the location she was in, in the same town, and it did exactly the same thing. Thank you very much for your time. Hopefully, someone else saw it too. Very Cool. I do not believe weather balloons move in this manner. This was something very odd. Please let me know, if someone other than my family member saw this.

Hanover Township, PA
Upon taking our dogs out for the evening, I spotted a glowing light in the northeastern sky. It was white/yellow in color and was moving in a meandering path to the South. While I viewed that one, I observed either flames or sparks coming out of the back or bottom of it twice. Just as the object passed over our roofline, I took the dogs in and called for my fiancee to corroborate the sighting. She immediately came outside, but by that time the object was not viewable from our backyard. As I started around the side of the house for a better view of the southern sky, she called me back, saying that 3 objects were now visible in a roughly NW direction. I got back in time to witness all 3 of these objects one at roughly 290 degrees magnetic and the other 2 at approximately 310 degrees magnetic. One of those 2 seemed to be slightly lower and to my right of the other, but since they looked to be far away I was unable to determine how close in proximity they were to each other....one could possibly be lower to the horizon than the other. She also stated that these 3 objects emitted the same phenomena that I witnessed with the first object, but they did not do it in unison. She stated to me later in the evening that at least one of the objects got close enough to our home for her to see that it was roughly triangular-shaped. I immediately ran inside for my phone, and by the time I returned only one of the objects was visble (I found out later on that the 3 we observed had ascended into the sky and vanished, and this was in fact the 5th similar object). This one emitted the sparks/flames as well, but only once while I viewed it. By the time I pulled up the camera app on my phone, it was already beginning it's slow ascent into the night sky, where it eventually vanished like the others that my fiancee observed. Neither of us heard any sound at all coming from these objects, and we could not explain their appearance due to a) there was no evidence of blinking lights as you normally see on an airplane; b) they all appeared to hover momentarily in their movement, which planes cannot do; c) despite the fireworks being shot off in the neighborhood, we are both very familiar with helicopter sounds and as I stated previously we could not discern anything sound at all coming from them; d) I don't believe they were drones...being a drone owner myself I have yet to see a commercial product that is capable of carrying a payload heavy enough to emit sparks/flames even once, much less multiple times as was the case with the first object I sighted, and these objects ascended before vanishing rather than landing, and finally; e) there is no possible way they could've been fireworks as the first one followed a path across the sky without descending, and the footage I was able to capture shows I had th! e final object in view for over 1:19 minutes - which no type of firework is capable of sustaining.

Greenfield, WI
While I'm on my way to work, I noticed something out of the corner of my eye, as I sat at the traffic light waiting for it to change. I looked my right, west, there was something relatively low in the sky that I initially thought was a balloon. It was hovering over and near a strip mall. But as I'm watching it, it changed shape as it flew rather slowly. Its color seemed to be copper. I couldn't really tell how far away it was or how big it was or how far away it was. As I'm watching it- it vanishes! It just disappears in an instant. I don't know how long it was in the sky as I rolled up to the stop light, but I only caught 2 minutes of it. I also want to mention, I've been experiencing truly paranormal (?) events with UFOs since about 2011 and on a fairly regular basis. I live in Wisconsin suburbs, so it's not like I'm out in the middle of nowhere.

Salie, MI
My family and I just moved out of downtown Ann Arbor, to a more rural city outside of AA called Saline. The portion we moved to is very rural, with neighbors a good distance apart, lots of open space, but most importantly, very little city light pollution. Tonight is the 2nd night in the house, and I had just finished unpacking a load of equipment from some boxes, and decided I'd take a seat on the freshly moved couch. It was roughly 2:45am. I hopped online on my laptop for about 10 minutes, when I got an urge to look to my left out of a window in my home, which faces to the west. I immediately spotted a very odd pulsating set of white-ish lights that would occasionally flash and change color just above the tree-line behind our neighbor's house. For scale reference, the window is on the western-most wall in our house, and our neighbors house is roughly 150-200 yards or so past the window through a large open field. I immediately grabbed my phone and started to record video of the light that initially drew my attention. I noted the time when I turned my phone on as 2:57. The color of the light when I began recording changed to translucent red. It was at this time I noticed via my video display as I recorded that there were other reddish lights exhibiting similar behavior with flashing red color to the south of the object I was focused on. My immediate gut reaction was that what I was seeing was 1 very large single object with potentially many smaller objects accompanying it. I zoomed out and then back in, and this time when the image came back into focus there were two grayish white blobs/shapes slightly closer relative to me than the lights were, which were also still present "behind" the blobs in my view. For a short period following the two blobs appearing, I continued to record, occasionally zooming out and then back in, or shifting the angle of the camera back and forth attempting to gain better focus, etc. The two blobs went away, and I was back to the original single light-source for a period. I decided to ask my wife to wake up and look, mostly in an attempt to see if I was crazy from being tired from the move, or if I was really seeing and recording whatever this was. After saying her name once, I zoomed out for a moment, then zoomed all the way back in. As I did this, I was shocked to see 5 clearly defined blobs pop into focus out of nowhere, at the same location and distance the lights were seen at! After getting over that shock, I realized the lights were also still visible, but I had the distinct feeling that at least 3 of the new white/grayish figures were sentient beings of some sort, as if suddenly a wall become invisible, exposing them. My wife by this time was next to me viewing this all along with me. To me, it seemed like at least 1 (the one on the far right) of these white/grayish "things" was moving what appeared to be a head at the end of a thin neck or something. I continued to observe this scene for several more minutes, with at least one more smaller white/grayish thing becoming visible below the others. All the while I would zoom in and out to confirmed to myself that the size of these were shrinking/growi! ng as I did so, proving that they were there in the distance roughly where I had been watching the lights. Then suddenly, they disappeared. I kept rolling, and zoomed out. Once I did, I noticed the lights still present, and began to zoom back in, when I again noticed more white/grayish shapes/things present. This time though, the shape was much different, and as crazy as it sounds coming from a non-religious person, there now appeared to be 3 distinct white/grayish objects present: 2 smaller objects on either side of a larger center object, with the larger center object looking strikingly like what my brain told me an Angel should look like, with arms raised in front of it wearing a white robe... very, very weird feeling at this point that was incredibly different than the entire event up to this point. I changed my position slightly now, from where I was standing, and zoomed out. I could visibly see that the white/grayish things were changing positioning in my view, and it appeared like 1-2 more "joined" the others. There were now 6 distinctly visible, in 2 rows of 3. Also worth noting, the lights that originally drew my to discover all of this were still visible and flashing/pulsing during all of this. This brings us roughly to the 10minute mark of the video. Near the 11min mark, more action takes place. At the 11min mark, the white/grayish objects are now gone, and there appears to be other "ships" or something visible, along with 3 circular objects appearing to be lights present on the object to the left of the view (with an additional object to the right of the view). The white light-like objects were solid, but the two "ship" like objects were translucent and "glittery" to view. I stayed watching these for a short period, then shut down and went outside to attempt to view. Unfortunately I did not record when out there but was able to still see the object(s). I had an intense feeling of being watched as soon as I stepped outside, which is why I didn't record -- I got back inside immediately after the feeling was way too intense to stay out. Important to note: I do live in the landing flight path of a small local airport. I can say with strong confidence given the ~12-13min recorded stationary time + 5-7min after recording that it remained, this was no small aircraft landing anywhere. The objects that were observed were all relatively stationary other than the noted movements during the 12minutes described above and recorded. After which, they moved beyond the tree line and I lost sight. This all took place between 2:55am and 3:08am Eastern Daylight Time. FlightAware shows no Arrivals to the local airport mentioned at the times observed, nor anywhere near them. I have uploaded the video to youtube and can provide a link if requested.

Long, OK
I watched this thing dance around in the sky for a while. I recorded it for about 8 minutes the first time before it disappeared and another 8 minutes after it reappeared in another part of the sky. Was in the back of my truck facing the south the first time, and the west north west the second time. It was in the sky much longer than that but my right hand had went numb from holding the camcorder, so I put it down and just watched it for a while before driving home. The object was still in the sky when I headed home about 1 am.

Union, MO
Neither me nor him heard any noise, nor did his aunt, but another witness said they heard a noise such as an aircraft. We as well as other saw 2 to 3 different lights hovering, blinking off and on. Sometimes pulsing off and on. Sometimes solid colors and sometimes changing colors, mostly white lights, but also red, blue, and other colors. I believe a witness or two call the union police depth and some other organization, not for sure if local airport, etc., and said there were no planes or helicopters reported in area. One of the lights would be the brightest, brighter than any aircraft or planet, I did not witness any other days, but on June 24 the next night 2 lights were back. I also saw about a week before that the St Louis news channel called fox2now.Com had a reports from many witnesses of strange lights around the union and at Louis area a week before all of this. On other occassions, I have seen lights before that hover over the past few years. I have memories from my child hood from ages as early as 5 to 12 years old of missing time and also sleep walking multiple times, I grew up in my grandparents home, and my sleep walking going getting out if bed and going outside got so bad, sometimes they would stay up to watch me and also add extra locks on doors so it would cause it to be harder for me to get outside. And I also remember stories that my grandmother told about seeing a strange light and entity while her, my grandpa v and their kids were in the car. And in the late 1980s there was a documented report that my grandpa's broth! er my great uncle had a crop circle on his farm, he told pepol! e he had seen a craft and also an entity and talked to them, but alot of people on our town made fun of him and he never spoke of it again, my grand parents are no longer living, but my great uncle is. I just know for years I've seen things I can't explain and with my sleep walking and missing time I would like to find out what has went on for all my life. When I was a child, I would sometimes have bruises or marks on my chest arms and legs that could not explain, a few in my adult life. I've done research over the years and heard about hypnosis. If a person could put me in contact with someone who done that I would be willing to do that if I could possibility find out answers to make sure I'm haven't lOSS my mind or dreamed things up. I know this a lot of information over my life, but once I started reporting the recent sighting I thought I never say or report anything. I thought I would get all this off my chest. Thanks for letting me ramble.

Mount Juliet, TN
My husband and I were stargazing while floating around in our pool last night (June 22, 2015 around 10:40pm) when he pointed out a small puffy cloud moving along fairly quickly North-North West on an otherwise cloudless night. The cloud didn’t seem to change shape at all, nor break apart. Then it got weird, and my husband and I actually got out of the pool and asked each other at the same time ”are you seeing this?”. As the small puff-cloud passed over what we thought to be a bright star, the star began moving WITH it. The cloud then shrank in size around the star and became very bright, (about the size of four Jupiters in the winter sky) and was moving with good speed. As it kept moving it eventually faded, and disappeared. This could have been seen crossing over I-40 in the Mount Juliet area, around 10:40. I’d like to note, we’ve never seen anything like this before and hope someone else will report it as well. ((NOTE FROM MR. TED MOLCZAN)) Hello Peter, Your hunch probably is correct. The Sentinel 2A satellite was launched on a Vega rocket from the Guiana Space Center, last night at 9:52 PM EDT (Jun 23 01:52 UTC). Coverage of the launch was here: http://spaceflightnow.com/2015/06/22/vv05-mission-status-center/ SeeSat-L received several reports of sightings near 23:49 EDT (3:49 UTC), of what appears to have been exhaust from the final burn of the Vega rocket's AVUM liquid fueled upper stage. That burn lowered the perigee to ensure that the object decays from orbit within a reasonable time, in order to curb the growth of space debris. http://satobs.org/seesat/Jun-2015/0193.html http://satobs.org/seesat/Jun-2015/0194.html http://satobs.org/seesat/Jun-2015/0195.html http://satobs.org/seesat/Jun-2015/0198.html http://satobs.org/seesat/Jun-2015/0199.html Marco Langbroek blogged his analysis: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.nl/2015/06/aurora-hunter-images-last-moments-of.html Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

My husband and I were on our deck, watching for the ISS to appear in the WNW and cross the sky going SSE. The scheduled time was 9:11pm, but the ISS appeared 2 minutes later. We watched it diagonally come across the sky near the crescent Moon, and from the same direction, we saw a zig-zagging object coming across on the same trajectory, changing colors, traveling faster than the ISS. I called my husband's attention to the 2nd object and said, "That UFO is trying to catch up to the Space Station!" By the time the ISS was slightly S/E of our deck, indeed, the zig-zagging object did catch up with and surpass the ISS. When the 2nd object was slightly ahead of the ISS, the object slowed down and kept pace with the speed of the ISS, slightly ahead of the ISS. The objects were approximately the same size, and the UFO was still zig-zagging back and forth just ahead of the space station, changing colors as it winked out in between the zig-zags. As we watched both objects disappear over the ridge to the east of our house, they appeared to be about a dime (held at arm's length) apart.

I noticed an object in the sky, it was orb shaped and very bright. It's size was that of a city bus (approximately) It zipped across the sky at incredible speeds and was hard to visually keep up with . It would hover then for approximately 1-2 minutes then just vanish and reappear across the sky. I took my cell out and took a picture. I had my camera on negative as with the sun it was easier to see. On my camera it was a black ball, just moving across the sky. BUT in the photo you can clearly see it has a faint disc shaped outline. ** my left hand is made into a fist to block the sun so I could see The object......as it stayed close to the sun*** Altitude around 500ft It was around noon Blue skies. Just want to know what it was ?!! Thank you for your time! Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD

Cowiche, WA
Location: NW of Yakima, WA First Sighted: Shortly before 11 pm, June 6. 2015 Appearance: Bright white light with red light on top, green lights At first, I thought it was the last Horizon flight coming into Yakima, arriving a little late. It was brighter and closer than a star and had red and green lights. But it stayed in the same general area. I did not notice any sound. Looking through binoculars, I thought that I saw two. It seemed to be hovering and slowly moving different directions, presenting different shapes. Once it appeared to be a vertical disc. One it appeared to have 2 bright white “wings,” positioned similar to an airplane when it is dipping a wing to turn. Once it appeared to be emitting bright white streams of particles from underneath. As it started to move NW, it no longer was bright white but looked more orange. I phone the sheriff’s office and was told that they would have someone in the area take a look. When I looked after phoning, it was further away and not bright white so it was not as noticeable but still visible. It was visible for more than an hour.

Gallatin/Hendersonville/Madison, TN
At the Payne's intersection t (Sumner county and Trousdale count line) I noticed a extremely bright light on the right of my 2015 Toyota Tacoma. The light seemed to be some what banana shaped and I noticed it seemed to be following me. Sometime I thought it even had the shape of a man. I stopped the truck on a very busy highway (Vietnams Veterans' Blvd) a number of times and the light would stop. In Hendersonville, I pulled off the Boulevard in a quite area on Old Hickory lake and stopped a number of time and the light continued to follow me. I had notice a second object to my left of similar brightness and shape but not quite as visible as the first one. I stopped on a large parking lot and got out of the truck. Both objects moved closer and stopped in front of me. They come closer and stayed in front of me in clear view. The objects would move a little up and down and right and left like a helicopter hovering. I stood for about 15 to 30 minutes and the objects remained in the same position. I decided to go home as I was a little nervous. I got back on 31w highway and traveled toward Rivergate Mall and the object followed me as before. I turned left on Myatt Dr and the first object followed as before. I arrived home and the first object stood a litter father away than before. It stopped and would move as I moved. It seemed to stay in position to see me as I walked around my property. I final sat down on a step and stayed very still for about 15 minutes and final the object began to retreat westward growing dimmer and it was out of sight. I am a 72 year old man who has never seen a UFO and really never even took all the stories of sightings seriously and have often said I will believe the stories when I see one. I have been a business man and real estate agent most of my life. I have no I idea why they chose to follow me because I am a very ordinary person with family and friends. If you could enlighting me on this situation I would appreciate.

It appeared to move with the wind and not under any power. If I had to guess I would have said it was a mostly deflated balloon with the helium in the top part and the bottom dangly part uninflated. I first thought it was a parachutist, but when it got closer it was obviously not and it was traveling horizontally, not down
