Coram, NY
Took 2 videos of these oval red lights patrolling from West to East over fireworks. One red oval stayed hovered above the moon for nearly an hour. The red ovals when I would film and talk about it, one slowed down over me than moved lightening fast to the east. There were also about 5 fast moving white UFO's that were NOT planes or drones. My friend works as a flight control tower at Islip Airport in NY and knows about them. My camera battery went dead after it zoomed away and it was fully charged.

Harrington, WA
As we went back on highway 28 towards Davenport to see for ourselves; we turned off onto the beginning of Scott road just barely out of Harrington. Off to the southwest we saw a yellow light in the sky which appeared to me to be a circle at the time. It was definitely not a farm light because of its great height in reference to the hills. As we sat there staring at the light we saw, without warning, it expanded in size by a massive amount in under three seconds. We couldn't accurately tell how large it was since we had not point of reference to base it upon. The mood was frantic as everyone was trying to figure out what this possibly could have been. Could it have been a firework? No it couldn't as it was a solid color and last there for nearly twenty seconds in the sky. Was it a lunar eclipse that was momentarily obscured from cloud coverage. No; there was no eclipse that night. And then the light started to shrink very slowly. We headed onto the Odessa highway to see if w! e could get a better look, but the hills were obscuring our view on both sides. We couldn't see it at all now. We called in a night at that point and headed home. One thing I know for sure is that I will never forget the experience I had. I wasn't what you would call a skeptic on Alien vessels or other unexplained spacial phenomena. I can't tell for certain what exactly it was that saw, but I am definitely more open minded about the talk of alien craft now. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and we consider him to be highly reliable. He is well known to us, as is one of the other witnesses. PD

Broadlands, VA
It was moving slowly - almost like a flame that could have broken away from a firework, but was moving at a moderate steady rate. It came right over us and then kept going. It made no noise and had no movement except slow and maintaining altitude. It was bizarre as we watched it for 3-5 minutes and it never moved course. We suspect a flawed time. We have corrected the time to reflect an evening sighting. PD

Homer Glen, IL
Traveling from the northeast, these objects were red and orange, rather small, one right after the other, but not directly behind each other. I saw one hover over head. But no noise whatsoever. Then, when they reached a certain point, they went upward and disappeared quickly.

Dublin, OH
I was with a group of family friends attending the Dublin, Ohio July 4th fireworks display. We were seated on the grassy area outside Dublin Coffman High School stadium. The fireworks began about 10PM. I was in a lawn chair beside a mother and her adult daughter who was sitting on a blanket in front of us. The night was cool, clear, with just enough breeze to move the smoke from the fireworks away. The moon was out and between 1/4 to 1/2 full. Midway through the fireworks, I heard the mother beside me saying "What IS that?" She directed my attention behind me. I had to turn around in my seat, so the object was almost due West, beneath the moon but well above roof and treetop level. The dimension from our vantage point would be roughly in the aspirin-size range, maybe a little larger. It was a length-wise oval (wider than it was high), apparently solid object. It was absolutely stationary--no perceptible movement at all. There were no blinking lights or color changing occurring. The entire object was glowing an orange shade that to me, was pumpkin-colored. There was, however, smoke residue of the fireworks in the air, so that may have affected correct perception of the exact shade. There may have been a slight haze around the object, but again that is questionable because it could have been smoke. The level of the object, however, was high enough above most smoke that it was not substantially ob! scured--we could see it distinctly. It was not a fireball, as there were solid edges to it. Also, I have seen one fireball--they move. Fast. Of the group there, I only definitely know the mother and her daughter and myself saw the object. Others were preoccupied with the fireworks. And somehow, I was remarkably nonchalant about seeing it, and did not process it as a big event. The object remained there over a period of a couple minutes, at least, while we calmly dissected what it could and could not be, and how it had no characteristics in common with planes or helicopters in flight, etc. We were alternately looking at it and turning away to speak to each other (and, on my part, to even glance at the fireworks I was "missing"). During one of these times when we were turned away, it vanished. We looked back and there was no sign of it. Of the possible explanations, it was absolutely not a plane or helicopter. I KNOW what they look like in various orientations and stages of flight (have lived near airports and heliports and seen countless numbers). We occasionally have blimps (Goodyear, whoever) and hot air balloons in town. This did not look like any I've seen. Further, if one has ever watched a blimp or hot air balloon fly away: paint dries faster. They do not disappear in a matter of moments. Mylar balloons are metallic-looking and reflective--this object glowed, seemingly from within, more like a light bulb. Also, any balloon or Chinese lantern--which I've seen suggested on someone's video of a similar object--would surely have been buffeted about by the breeze and unable to remain absolutely motionless for minutes. The observers were a 31-year-old mother who works in child care, her mother who works with children and adults in performance arts, and myself, 68, retired with background as a medical and legal secretary, and work in graphic design. I will add that I have also had a lifelong passion for photography, had my camera in a tote at my feet, and am dumbfounded in seeking to explain why it never entered my mind to take a picture or video. I didn't even process the object as what it was, until it was gone and the mother said "We've seen a UFO!" I think it was just a little too real, and too curiously out-of-place in such a mundane setting, for me to process its significance.

Forest Lake, MN
Saw object high in the sky moving slowly, sometimes nearly stationary and then in multiple non linear directions returning closely to its original position. It was very clear in the sky and we could see color light (blue and red) moving continuously around the edge. It was to the south of the Lake. After approximately 5 minutes it turned to the NE, climbed higher into the sky and moved fairly quick to the North towards Duluth. It disappeared completely within minutes. It was an incredible experience.

Arvada, CO
On July 4th, 2014, at about 10 pm mountain time. I was watching the firework display in Arvada Colorado. In the east, off to the right of the fireworks, I saw four orange yellowish lights slowly moving to the right, and then moving to the left in perfect sink. At first I thought it was a part of the show, but after about a minute of watching, I told my wife and she agreed that it couldn't be a part of the show. We both watched as the lights moved very slowly from side to side. Then, while in continued slow smooth motion, one light disappeared and then another light disappeared, and then another, until one light remained. It remained in continued slow steady motion. The other lights then reappeared one at a time until all four lights appeared. Once again, they all appeared to be moving slow and steady from side to side in perfect sink. After about another minute the lights began to disappear one at a time until one light remained. The remaining light continu! ed movement but seemed to dip downward a bit before completely disappearing from site.

Indialantic, FL
We were sitting on our 5th floor patio-looking at the ocean, when the first object appeared travelling from south to north--offshore-yet following the shoreline. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and we found him to be a credible witness. At last contact, he reported that a person had informed him that the objects were "Chinese" lanterns, and that he was going to go with that explanation. We suspect that the objects were not lanterns, but we cannot prove it. Please see other reports from Florida for this date. PD

Jacksonville, FL
I was driving, people were shooting fireworks behind me, but I saw something hovering about 200 yards above me. It was oval and bright orange, and was not moving, which is what caught my eye. I stopped the car and tried filming it. I only got about 20 seconds worth of footage, but what I captured was the orange oval rising in the sky. It made a circle then vanished.

Portage, IN
I was watching the Fireworks display at the Willow creek Middle School in Portage, Indiana, when a red orb came from the East and "floated" over the fireworks and then quickly disappeared. I then noticed another coming from the East and finally told someone near me. While I was watching the Eastern sky for more red orbs that person told me about another coming from the Northwest. After noticing this orb for about one minute until it phased out I looked to the South and noticed three more coming from the Southwest. I watched these for a minute when I noticed a fourth emerging from a building all of which were in a straight formation line one behind another. I watched these four for about three minutes until they too phased out when nearing the area of the School. I watched the fireworks for about three minutes when I noticed four more coming from the East each one of them trailing the other by about one minute but still visible when looking over the building from our vantage point. At this point the Fireworks display was over and we were preparing to leave when I noticed two more coming from the East. This time there was one above the other. On the way home we were traveling on 94 just before reaching the WalMart in Michigan City we noticed another red orb traveling Northwest at 10:08 p.m. Each of the red orbs mentioned were just above treetop level and in most cases the viewing time was three or more minutes. If there was sound from the orbs it was drowned out by the fireworks.

London (UK/England) · United Kingdom
Unidentified flying object seen flying over residential neighbourhood on a hot summer's day in north west London. Object of oval shape, size difficult to judge due to high altitude, at least 1 meter in diameter. Object hovered at around 3mph or walking speed in a straight line until disappearing into country area sky. Object appeared metallic or plastic in nature, due to sun glint on the edges, and possessed a red glow on the underside.

Everett, WA
There was a craft that looked like a sea err-chant with tentacles and where each tentacle was there was a light, the lights completely surrounded the craft. It hovered in the sky east of downtown Everett / I-5 and was slowly moving east.

Columbus, OH
Several round red orange circles in an arch. Slowly separated and dimmed and brightened. Some at very high altitude. Lights disappeared as we got closer. As we followed the last light it faded out and wevcould see the oval silhouette as it moved away slowly and then took off at a high rate of speed. One of the other lights went straight up when we drove under and then took off very quickly in the other direction. Asked locals at a nearby store on the west side about the lights. They told us friends frontage east side had also seen lights earlier in the night.

Mamaroneck, NY
As I went to take out my dog in my backyard, I noticed an object floating in the sky, stationary in a location known to have no lights or anything like that should be in the area. It was about 300 to 500 meters away from my location. I took two pictures one at 00:58 and 01:00 hours. Around 01:30 the object was not in the area. At first, I thought the objects were construction lights by the train tracks but the UFO wasn't even close to the tracks. There are many white lights on the UFO with a hint of blue on top of the oval shape.
