Bridgeport, WV
On the night of November 4th, 2015, around 8 PM, I saw what I thought to be a UFO. Straight ahead in the distance about a couple miles away appeared three glowing balls in a straight line which was moving slow at the time. The object was glowing so bright it was brighter than ur average full moon. The object could have been goin in a circular motion but was to far for my eye to see the exact movement besides the horizontal line it was traveling in. The object sped up fastly and disappeared off into the sky! Very eerie experience. Only lasted about 15-20 seconds, before it disappeared into thing.air.

Valparaiso, IN
My husband and I were walking the dogs when he saw this bright light down the street. I initially thought it was one of those luminaries since it seemed like it was on fire. I realized quickly that it wasn't because it was moving too fast and there was no wind. We watched it until we couldn't see it anymore. We continued our walk and not 5 minutes later, we saw the object come back! We again watched it move to the east until we could no longer see it. The object was flying lower than any plane yet there was no sound coming from it.

This was usual because at our location we see planes flying at night all the time and know what they look like. Besides I build them for a living for many years. This object was also traveling noticeably fast. Very cool to see and very intriguing

Boulder, CO
coming back from best buy with my roommate and we spot a large green orb floating to our right. The orb left a green slime trail in the sky and was traveling at around 100 Mph. It then stopped and hovered for 5 seconds until it shot off into the distance in milliseconds. Two other cars were nearby and stopped to ask us if we just saw that.

Watertown, MA
I saw a bright green light move very quickly across the sky from high up on the right down towards the left. It was brighter and larger than the light of a commercial jet or plane (there are many in the sky in the area due to the proximity to Logan International Airport). The green light was high up in the sky to the right and moved quickly downwards to the left, in a matter of one second or less.

My first reaction was an aircraft but then I knew its speed was too great and my husband agreed. I have never witnessed anything like this before, and it was pretty spectacular to see!

Chandler, AZ
In the North Eastern Sky over phoenix as I walked to my car, I noticed several lights in the sky. They looked like normal plane lights saw green, red and white lights. They were moving oddly however. They appeared to be circling and darting in and out. After watching this for a minute or two, one of them burst into a ball of flame. Then the fireball appeared to fall at about a 45 degree angle after a bit it started spiraling down, kind of like a tornado. It soon disappeared below the roof tops. Still ten minutes later I saw lights circling the area that it appeared to have gone down at. I was facing more east then north. If I had to guess at what I saw, I would swear I saw a plane get shot out of the sky.

Bend, OR
At first, I thought it might be a planet (like Mars), but then I realized it was hovering, actually moving smoothly (intentionally) horizontally and vertically, was much larger and saturated in color than a planet would be. Also, the light was glowing from within -- it wasn't directional or a "beam" of light, so it didn't look like a small aircraft or a drone. And it didn't have any blinking lights on it. It looked like a bright orange fireball that was somewhat stationary, but moving very intentionally at times. I was in awe of this glowing ball and overwhelmed. It finally glowed really bright and flickered once, became instantly smaller, and then faded out to a small dot and disappeared as if it had quickly zoomed away. We tried to capture it on our iPad and iphone, with one poor quality image to show for it.

Went outside at 10:26 at night and looked over neighbors house and saw a bright orange light that was moving quickly across the sky. Only lasted about 45 seconds, as it started to flicker about 3 times, then vanished. It was so bright that it caught the corner of my eye. Shape of "fireball", heading south over the National Seashore. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Aloharetta, GA
Very bright greenish blue ball fell from the sky, no burn out or fire. Too far and too many obstacles to see if the was a crash but based on speed and no finishing of the light, this looked nothing like a shooting star. We have changed the time to reflect a nighttime sighting. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous, and provides no contact information, so we are unable to confirm the time. PD

Lakewood, NJ
On October 24th 2015, I was sitting near a window around 7pm when I saw strange orange glowing object flying in the sky followed by 2 more. They did not look like planes nor helicopters. There was no sound either. I called my family to see and then 3 more came when the previous vanished in the sky. After 10 minutes again we saw just one more and then it stopped.

Willow Street, PA
Looking toward the western skyline above the trees I started to observe round balls of light slowly moving in a southerly direction. Their colors varied from yellowish to orange to white. They did not make any sounds. A total of seven of them appeared and then faded away off in the distance toward the southern horizon.
