Keene, NH
I was looking out my kitchen window, its really clear and sunny. I seen a very metallic, shiny object slowly moving through the air, high altitude. I could tell it was not a plane. It looked like a ball. I thought it may have been a balloon, however it was very slow, then picked up a bit of speed the slowed down again. It was not normal. I took a video but my camera isn't that clear. I made snap shots of the video and made the resolution bigger. I posted it to my face book. It traveled a straight line and did not stray for the entire time I witnessed it.

Howell, NJ
While driving east on I-195 in Howell, New Jersey from exit 28B to 31B, I saw a silver, shiny spherical object move over the roadway. It hovered over the roadway well above the tree line and then traveled over the road in an eastward direction, the same direction I was traveling. It continued to move ahead of me and I was unable to catch up to it traveling around 75 mph. I followed it for a few miles and as I approached my exit it vanished from the sky. It seemed to disappear completely instead of flying away.

Temecula, CA
My fiance and I while stargazing saw a small circular light moving downward and flashing, then it split into 2 while stopped, then a 3rd appeared, then they all flashed a few times, moved side to side, then 2 disappeared and the 3rd moved quickly southwest and belowthe horizon.

Duxbury, MA
An amber colored object rose completely vertically over northern horizon and abruptly stopped gaining altitude. Object continued to move completely laterally while growing continually brighter. Object then rapidly changed color to blue, dimmed and absolutely disappeared from view after continuing in this manner for a short time. Object made absolutely no noise and no navigation lights were present despite a seemingly low altitude.

Palm Desert, CA
I have pictures and videos. We live in the Coachella Valley, a friend first spotted in Desert Hot Springs, then another friend spotted it in La Quinta and we see it now in Palm Desert. We are a small valley. It just hoovered in one spot only moving up down, to the right and left in small spurts. It’s been two hours now and it’s still hoovering. We’re trying to drive closer to it because we think it is hoovering over our Palm Springs airport. When we looked at it thru binoculars it looked like a white glowing orb, I mean perfectly round , the best thing I could describe it to is as if it were a tiny little moon. Clear blue skies out only a couple clouds at a high of 120 degrees

I went outside to water my plant and got looking at Jupiter, Saturn and the Moon. I spotted a spherical white light object that was moving fast from North to South. I thought it was the space station but I realized it was too bright. As it moved it wobbled. No other lights. I went in the house to get my binoculars then back into the house to get my camera but it was gone when I got back out. No other detail but the white light could be seen. No sound.

Columbus, OH
Around 9:30pm our neighbors a few houses down set off hundreds of fireworks in the span of 4-5 minutes. The fireworks were too small to see over the tree-line and sounded like gunshots so we went outside to check it out. Walking back inside and see a small white light appear in the sky. Over the span of 5 seconds it covers 5+ miles and comes within 2 miles and is now a large white/yellow/orange orb hovering in the sky. The UFO watches the commotion for 15 seconds, turns right, accelerates and vanishes into nothing. Multiple witnesses and certainly not an effect from the fireworks. The airport is 5.5 miles from my house and we can see planes fly in and know what they look like. This was not a plane, helicopter, or drone.

Mount Vernon, KY
Watching for meteor shower high on a hill away from everything when a orange orb appeared on the south east horizon. We watched it for close to an hour float higher in the sky and move like wind currents were carrying it. Then it would dart back. No clouds at that time at first thought I was seeing things but my girlfriend also saw it. Some of the eradic movements were not wind currents or natural.

Thought at first it was a planet because of size, then it started moving in vertical and horizontal direction quickly and stopped. Would go back to original spot. Like it was performing.

Toronto (East York)(Canada), ON · Canada
East York, Toronto Ontario. I was standing on my balcony having a smoke, and I was looking up and saw a rather large white ball streaking across the sky heading north with a clearly visible vapour trail in tow. The white ball was about half the size of the Moon, it was flying lower than the altitude of a high-flying airliner, but it appeared considerably larger, and traveling at a speed which could only be matched by a very low flying fighter jet. The object was white like a fully lit frosted light bulb. For me, it was an awesome sight!

Pueblo, CO
Just after sunset tonight, just as the stars were starting to show, I noticed a “star” overhead but slightly to the east that looked bigger than usual for any star at this time. It wasn’t necessarily brighter, but it seemed rounder like a planet would be if it were closer. I took out the Skyview app on my iPhone to see what might be in that location, but the app indicated nothing. Using the app, I could see that the object was approximately between the stars Vega and Etamin, but appeared to be moving slowly west. I retrieved my binoculars to get a better look as the object appeared to be either getting smaller or moving further away (up?). Through the binoculars I could clearly see a round disc or orb with a flashing white point of light at the center that seemed similar to what might be on an aircraft. I thought maybe I was seeing a balloon from below with a light beneath it. But I could not imagine a balloon being this high or in this region, ! though I suppose it is possible. After a few minutes the object and surrounding stars were obscured by clouds.

Coeur d'Alene, ID
On Sunday evening, July 26, around 11:30 pm, I went outside and was standing on my patio looking up at the nighttime sky. I was looking due North. At about 60 degrees I saw what I initially thought was a planet. It was orange/red in color and was not twinkling but had a steady ray so again I thought it must be a planet. But, I realized that planets do not travel in the section of the sky. As I began looking at it it began to fade, then it got a little brighter, but faded again, and then just disappeared. I looked on around that section of the sky for several minutes to see if it might reappear but it did not. I thought it was most strange. I told my adult daughter about it and we both laughed and I dismissed it. Then several days later a FB friend posted this article from Boise about this 75 year old man there reporting seeing something almost exactly as I had. The initial time period that I saw this orange/red ball, that was about the size of Mars on a clear and bright night, was approximately 20 seconds. I have never seen a UFO or anything like this before. I have no idea what it was. It did not look like a spacecraft and it did not rapidly move. It was simply there shining rather brightly and then it sort of pulsated a few times and then went invisible.

Merrick, NY
Family (two adults in their mid 40s and two children ages 13 and 11) in backyard. We all observed a bright red, spherical light moving vertically (upward) in the sky overhead. Observed the red light for approximately 45 seconds until it abruptly vanished. There is a fair amount of air traffic in the area (notwithstanding COVID) as we are close to JFK International Airport, however, we have never observed an aircraft “disappear” as abruptly and without traveling across the horizon as air traffic typically does. There was no sound. The sky was partly cloudy, however, we were able to observe all air other traffic through the clouds as they traversed the sky.

Beverly, MA
Over the past three days I've been seeing sphere shaped UFOs flying directly over my home. The first sighting was of a single sphere which pulsated from black to red. The second sighting was of two white spheres going in the same direction but one was "playing" around the other as the flew silently and with no trails over our neighborhood. Yesterday was the third sighting of a single sphere. It was backlit so it appeared dark in color. I had decided to set-up a rig and get some video and I was successful. I'll include a photo with this report. The area where I live seems to be a "highway" of sorts. So, I'm sure that I'll see more and will attempt better footage.

Snohomish, WA
While sitting in my car visiting with my sister, I looked up to the dark,clear, night sky and saw 2-3 large, BRIGHT Orange orbs, that initially I thought to be Chinese lanterns, but as I continued to stare, they were not behaving like lanterns or drones, and I pointed them out to my sister, and we got excited, and out of the car to get a better look, at which time she exclaimed-’GRAB our phones and take photos”, so we did. I took a few and then also a 2 minute video. WE were in AWE, as the way they behaved and looked, was of NOTHING of this world or technology. They were intensely orange and almost seemed to hover at first, and looked to be in a sort of formation/relation to each other, then went from hover to forward motion, in sync, maintaining perfect distance from each other. WE noticed NO NOISE or sound from them, and it was a VERY QUIET evening. One seemed to disappear, then THREE more appeared! We watched them fly from the north towards the south, in the Eastern view of the skyline, and then out of sight or disappeared, we couldn’t tell? This took probably a period of about 5-7 mins total, as my video was two minutes long etc...wishing of course, it was of BETTER quality, as I was so excited, and tried to zoom in on them a couple of times.

North Powder, OR
This is really odd hearing you on Coast to Coast replay today (July 24, 2020) and then we saw an orb in the sky and video recorded it outside Baker City, Oregon, near North Powder, Oregon. We reside in Cove, Oregon, and had traveled to Boise, Idaho, to visit our nearest Costco. We drove our motor home which travels a bit slower than our other vehicles and came back around 7:30 p.m. At about 8:45 p.m., we were traveling westbound on Interstate 84 at milepost 278, we observed an orange translucent orb stationary above the The Blue Mountains which was southwest from the Interstate and is just south of Ladd Canyon. Our windshield was pretty buggy but you can still see it right above the mountain until it dropped below to the other side and was out of visual range. It had a orange look to it but partially translucent. The moon was much higher in the sky and the sun had already dropped below the mountain ridge. We are self employed and I recently retired as a Sergeant with the Oregon State Police. My wife and I are both prior military. Never have we seen anything like this and had to share with you. I've never ever reported anything like this either. We emailed a link of the video to the director email. Please let me know if you are unable to view it... Thank you!

Kennewick, WA
My wife and I observed a military aircraft escorting a glowing orb south of Kennewick, ,Washington on a date and time given. The military aircraft was following behind the object and continued the escort until it was out of sight. It approached us from the south from the direction of the Boardman bombing Range in Oregon and headed in a north easterly direction. The aircraft had clearly visible aircraft navigation lighting. The glowing orb that it was escorting had no such lighting. I am fairly certain it was a military aircraft because I could not find it on my phone app that tracks commercial aircraft. Typically, military aircraft do not show up. However, commercial aviation and general aviation aircraft do show up on that app.

Suffolk, VA
Reporting An Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) Suffolk, Virginia 23435 July 22, 2020 To Whom It May Concern: This morning on a very clear night sky it was around 4:15am as I took my dogs outside just like I have done every morning for many years and was gazing in to the night sky and saw the North star. Then I turned and begin looking around in the night sky and turned my direction to the western sky and noticed round, white blinking object that caught my eye. The more I watched this one object, it was acting so erratic moving (in all directions). My heart began to pump fast and I felt I was seeing an actual UFO. I went inside my home and retrieved my phone and begin taking (2) videos of the sighting. I am 62 years old and have gazed many times over the years in the night sky and have seen shooting stars and in a solar eclipse in 1972, but nothing like what I saw today. I would hope that someone else may have witness the same sighting today and report. I am forwarding my videos to (www.directorufocenter.com) for review.

South Fork, CO
My nephew and I were setting out on the back porch of our cabin. It was about midnight. It was pitch dark but our eyes had adjusted to the night and we could see almost everything, including the stars and Milky Way formation. We were setting outside watching stars and talking. We had been outside for several hours. We were looking over a large clearing in the valley of two large mountains when all at once we both witnessed a orb of light come over the mountains and drop into the valley about a mile away-directly in front of us. Within a second, it flashed directly in front of us about thirty yards away. Within another second or two it passed our position before turning back to us . It hesitated directly in front of us again about twenty yards away before zipping directly opposite our position and back over the mountain. The event lasted about 6-8 seconds and it was over. It reminded me of watch fire flies in the back yard. Only these orbs were larger and coveri! ng large distances between flashes. They were about the size of a golf ball . They would flash in one spot and then flash again within a second somewhere else Covering large areas at a time. You could see a slight tail of light behind it giving the eye a sense of direction when it flashed as it was traveling. Other than the slight tail, it was basically a flash of light in the shape of a round ball. The color was about the same color as the stars; a light blueish-white color. We were both surprised and amazed at what just happened in front of our eyes. The size is somewhat confusing because it is hard to place its size to scale. That’s because the country behind it was so big, and the distance it was coving was so large. He is fourteen years old and I know it made a huge impact on his life.. At the time of the encounter, we were having a conversation about the stars, life in outer space, and religion. We both believe it might have had something to do with our experience.

Boise, ID
Sitting on my deck having (yes) a Cocktail (1 cocktail) looking up at the sky, in a north by northeast direction, I observed a sphere-shaped (something) traveling from the north (east) to the south (west) at a high rate of speed. At first, I thought it was a helicopter and thought, Man that chopper is really moving FAST. Then, I realized it was not close ... rather some distance away and, quite large. (I guess). Its color was Bright Orange / Yellow / Orage (pulsating). I have no idea of its size but it did seem to be quite large for a helicopter. It got my attention and just as I was really staring at it .... the Light went out !!!!!! There was No Cloud Cover so ...... it did not disappear behind the Clouds. There was No Sound (at least that I could hear). I have no idea how far away it was as it was dark here so I couldn't judge. At first, I thought it may have been the international space station but, It WASN'T! This is the 2nd sighting of ???? in that direction over the last 2 years.
