Bend, OR
We were upstairs when we noticed a orange & yellow fireball like shape flying somewhat slowly from south to north. It wasn't large, much smaller than a plane or helicopter but bigger than must drones. Light was not exterior, it glowed from within and was flying fairly low, perhaps 150 - 200 feet above the tallest trees in our area. We watched until it disappeared, about 5 minutes or so, never seen anything like it. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Crestone, CO
Last night my wife and I saw this amazing comet like thing in the sky. At first it was a bright light like a super bright star above the nearby 14000 foot mountains. And suddenly it took a right turn heading south. As it did we both saw a long tail with iridescent colors and then it disappeared.

I was outside walking my dog, and I looked up at the sky to watch the stars. I noticed a very bright light that was about two and a half times the size of the surrounding stars. At first it was moving forward at a pretty decent speed, then it started moving faster in a zig zag pattern. It continued in the zig zag pattern until I could not see it anymore. Note: The light appeared to be a bright white-ish color. Also, the object made no noise. Source elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

White sands missile range, NM
Larges fire ball look like a large commet with a short tale, moving from east to west fairly slow for about five second, and then move strait down in a blink of and eye, not a missile as i am very familiar with missiles and the trajectory in witch the move. The fireball was much faster. Fire ball was yellow with a reddish orange tail.

Brentwood, TN
I was driving home when I noticed a big and bright light, lime green on the outside but white on the inside, falling downward towards the sky. It was in a shape of a teardrop, and it looked as if it was a meteorite (the ones you see in a movie) about to hit Earth. One would assume it was apart of a firework but there weren't sparks around the falling light or any cracking noise like usual. Witness provides no contact information. PD

Las Cruces, NM
As I was coming home from work and turned the corner into my subdivision, I saw what I thought was a street light, that has been out for a few days, trying to start. I noticed it was moving, however. I stopped my vehicle, rolled down the driver-side window, and turned off the radio. The object appeared to be round, or spherical, in shape. It didn't really have a shape, but was merely a ball of bright orange light with no distinct shape, somewhat like looking at a flare. It seemed to be brighter in the center, more whitish. There was no noise and the motion was in a straight line - approximately north to south. Because the speed seemed similar to an airplane on approach to an airport, I thought maybe it was a plane with an engine fire, but, again, no noise. Not knowing what it was or how big it was, it would be difficult to estimate its altitude, but it did not seem to be very high. I eventually lost sight of it as some houses blocked my view. The entire obse! rvation lasted for approximately two minutes, or so. Having followed UFO reports for many years, this object was nothing like anything I've ever read about or seen in pictures.

Forest, MS
I was talking to a worker around 8:15 pm. And my eyes observe some bright light red and orange color moving so fast from south to north east. The lights direction move like a rainbow, like an arc, loosing in the sky, as soon I mention to my parnert what I was seeing, he get out to see it too, but the ligths were gone. It was not a plane and it was not an helicopter. Something is out here. This is my first experience with something unknow.

Circleville, NY
I witnessed a large blue fireball while outside with my dog. It was an intense blue light that increased in intensity and lit up the ground all around us, like lightning would, but much brighter. It gave me the chills and my dog was barking and seemed very scared and skittish, and ran to my side. The glow increased in size and got brighter and then was gone. Like an explosion in space with no sound, fragmentation or trails.

Was first seen on 290. At first it was like a fireball shooting across the sky in a downwards position by the time I reached rt 9. In cherry valley I observed a second following coming up along side of it. White streaks but the front of the streaks were pointed and reddish in color while the tail ends were white and not leaving a very long streak.

Several orange balls (looked like flames) came up out of Pattee Canyon and at least 1 came from the University of Montana. They slowly moved, one by one to high altitude over the South Hills and then disappeared.

Dallas, TX
I live in highrise building in downtown Dallas, TX. At approximately 19:05PM I was looking outside my large ceiling to floor windows facing North towards Uptown/Arts District when I saw 7 large round orange bright glowing fireballs in the sky at a relatively low position in the sky. The 7 separate bright glowing fireballs appeared in a V shape where the first glowing orange fireball was the apex or point of the V shape. There were then 3 of the same objects on each side forming a V. They hovered in the sky, and one at a time the fireball would get larger and radiate more brightly like a orange diamond. I have never seen such a brilliant gleaming shining light in the skies as this. One by one, they took turns growing larger in size and brighter in appearance and then would slowly fade away as they seemed to get lower to the ground. I lost sight as they kept going lower because of a highrise building. This lasted about 20-30 minutes and they were stationed at ! the same position in the sky, a low hovering V shape position.

Arlington, TN
I observed 6 round orange lights in the southwestern sky this evening around 7 p.m. I had taken my dog out in the back yard and looked up to see the lights which were in the approximate shape of a check mark. Two lights at the bottom were very close together and the rest of the lights appeared to form an arc toward the west..these were farther apart. I ran inside to get my camera and when I came back out, all were gone but one. It seemed to just fizzle out and totally disappear really fast. Then I observed another orange round light a little farther out. I was actually able to photograph both of the single sightings before each disappeared. They did not appear to move through the night sky.

Gonzales, ID
These amber balls of light were in a type of formation and they all were stationary for a moment above then they all started traveling together in the same direction at the exact same speed...quite slow. They were glowing amber and no blinking lights were noted. We watched them either circling over the sky or more and more kept coming. We could not tell, due to the tree line. We watched them for what seemed like 15 minutes. They were beautiful. There could have been either 7 to 14. Depending on whether they were just circling, or more coming after the first 7. Planes started flying around close; they had to have seen them. There's no way they couldn't have seen them.

Pueblo, CO
My wife and I were driving two separate cars home as we had our sons International Night and meet there after work. On the way home I spotted a light coming across the sky near the airport about five miles away. Living by there I thought nothing of it, until it got bigger and the speed became faster...within seconds it was in front of me and then vanished. I was going from East to West and looked like a comet..until it sped up and shot vertical and disappeared. I was shocked...I got home and my wife pulled up about two min later. I said, "you think I might be crazy but I saw a UFO", she said I saw it to. She thought it was a comet, until it disappeared.

Anaheim, CA
11/13/15 Looking out at what I believe we're Venus and Jupiter in the sky at approx 6am (perhaps 5:30) PST. Was looking out of a hotel room towards Disneyland resort area and it was early dawn. In the sky appeared a light that at first could have been a meteor but moved slowly in its trajectory and made a very long streak. It became a little brighter and then faded out to nothing, similar to when a plane flies, turns towards you, and then turns away. I do not know what I saw, but it seemed far too slow moving for a shooting star/meteor. It also was the date that debris was reported to be crashing to earth, but I did not read anywhere that this would have been visible over Anaheim, California.

I just got out of my car at my brother's house which is at the top of a hill in a residential area. My brother confirmed that I was facing North. I saw a white fireball move very quickly across the sky. It appeared to travel directly East to West. I can't say how high up it was, but it was definitely lower that a commercial airplane. Observer Background: I'm 60 years old and the mother of an adult daughter. I live in San Rafael, CA. I work as an accountant at an independent school. Meteor?? PD
