Edmond, OK
Was sitting outside and it was almost completely dark outside. Saw a red and orange light flying in the sky and the light. Was pulsing dimmer and brighter. It was flying fairly slow, then dipped down and started flying faster. It disappeared behind some trees where I couldn't see anymore. Then, 30 seconds later, another red and orange object appeared, going another direction. And appeared to stop completely in the air, then start again going in a swerved path. I do have a video.

It was like a street light but it flickered like a flame it was yellowish-orange to gold in color. I was very confused but anxious too. It hovered for a short time, but when I blinked it just vanished out of thin air. Mother does not believe me and cats were not scared, for it was not a street light on the highway. I went outside to check out the area but there was no evidence that something was there, it was no car though. Yours sincerely, Anonymous We suspect that the report is a hoax. We telephoned the source of the report, and spoke briefly with a young woman who simply claimed that it had not been she who submitted the report, and abruptly hung up. Hoax?? PD

Saw what looked like a fireball or plane on fire in the sky. We live right by an airport, so I first shrugged it off then thought that's like on fire or something so I ran inside to get my husband. He's usually the one that explains things and he said the same thing like a plane on fire but no blinking lights at all or a tail or trail. It flew off over the house towards the Long Island Sound. I wish I would have taken a picture, but it happened so fast after I ran back inside to get my husband.

I was sitting in my garage watching some tv, when my dad runs out of the house and yells for me to come out back. I ran out there, and there was a very bright, deep-orange ball in the sky. It would come over one of the tree-lines, then make its way to a spot on the other end of the sky, and then flicker out-anywhere from thirty seconds to twenty minutes later, the exact same thing would happen again. It'd appear in the same place, then the light would die in the exact same place. It was flying low, underneath the cloud cover. During this time, we went and grabbed our four neighbors across the street and eventually they all saw it. My boyfriend also came over and saw it happen twice. I know what a plane looks like, I know what a satellite looks like, and I know what I paper lantern looks like-it wasn't normal. Three years ago on Fourth of July, my dad, uncle, aunt, and cousin saw the exact same thing. Same lights, same origin, same endpoint, except there were only seven that time. As far as backrounds on the witnesses go, I'm seventeen now, my boyfriend is eighteen, my dad is 47, and my neighbors were 29, 31, and the other two in their late 50's.

Crestwood, IL
Red fireball shaped objects observed 2 weeks ago. 1st object came from the southeast flying slowly west. Once that one went overhead, another came from the same direction, moments later. And after about 15 seconds, the fireball shaped object split into 2, and flew overhead. After 10 seconds another appeared from the same direction. This event happened at approximately 10 pm. Last night while standing on my porch I saw another fireball like object fly overhead. These were NOT airplanes!

Lynchburg, OH
I was driving along Webertown Road outside of Lynchburg, Ohio, and saw a flaming fireball, almost looked like a campfire in the sky floating about 200 ft above a house and it moved around in awkward movements back and forth, and stayed in general area for a few minutes. So I got back into my car, after stopping, then started driving slowly, then the object started going up higher and outwards away from the house above a bunch of woods and as I moved down road it slowly went down into the woods and vanished.

My wife and I were on the back deck talking when the soundless fireballs caught our eye. we definitely were not expecting to see such a phenomenon, and were quite dumbfounded when confronted by it. My wife and I are family oriented, and we own a small business in the local area. We are not sure what to think about the incident.

Southaven, MS
Events have been occurring nightly. Strange multiple pulsaiting red 'orb like' flickering lights in night sky. Object hovers for hours along with white orb specs in triangle form all over night sky and I am certain its not stars I'm seeing. Too close in atmosphere to be stars, especially when they are moving in form. Exciting and creepy at the same time. I'm sick of our U.S government lying to the people and I know something sinister is happening. Beware of deception for I know they are not our friends.

Pismo, CA
While delivering a boat from Santa Barbara to San Francisco, approximately 15 miles from shore, just passed point conception, I noticed in the direction of Pismo a large red fireball looking event that rose from what looked like the ground upwards with a tail that illuminated the clouds below it. The "fireball" seemed to be spherical in shape with "clean" round edges. It then disappeared. Interesting it looks like there have been similar sightings in the general area in the past. What could this have been? Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Our security light came on for no apparent reason and whilst recording a light appears just over the rooftops, centre of screen. Moving left then turns and flies back to where it came from. We would welcome your opinion of what our video captured that evening

Medford, OR
I live in a town that sits in the middle of a valley "Rogue Valley". As I was driving to work along a outskirt road that looks over the valley, on the opposite side of the valley I saw huge flames looking like they where approx. 50-75 feet high, and about 50 feet long, along the ridge line of the opposing valley wall. I watched this inferno looking/fire ball/flames, for about a minute while driving until I turned off the road and the tree line obstructed my view from the fire. I was extremely puzzled by what I saw, here in Oregon we had a few forest fires at that time around the area but none that could be seen from inside the rogue valleyfloor. I kept driving for a couple minutes and decided to make a u-turn, head back to try and see this again. Turning back onto the road "foothills rd." where I witnessed the flames, proceeding back the same way I came from, looking for the flames, which I can best describe as looking like a raging forest fire that was lighting up the night sky with an orange aura, like a fire does. It was completely gone with not a trace or evidence that anything out of the normal was there only a few minutes a ago. I parked my car, pulled off onto the side of the road where I believed I had the best vantage point when I witnessing the flames and got out, turned my car off and sat on the roof for 10 minutes hoping I could get a clue as to what I saw. Nothing. It had vanished. What I witnessed was enormous, and has baffled me if it was a forest fire, as raging of an inferno it looked like it was. 50-75 feet tall. Could of just disappeared in a matter of minutes? It was not a forest fire but something else.

Romeo, MI
A fireball was sitting in place behind a tree line for 20+ minutes. After this it disappeared without us noticing. Following this 12+ crafts were seen high in the sky crosshatching in their pattern. After this, one craft shot what looked like a bright green flat down into the forest behind the tree line. The group of us grabbed weapons, and then there was a loud mechanical roar that sounded like a mechanical Lion from the forest along with the sound of breaking branches. We then ran inside for safety. Following this all traces disappeared. All parties corroborated the same experience.

Woodbridge, NJ
About 8 or 10 amber flickering fireballs in a single file almost perfectly spaced traveling from south to north-east. They looked fairly low compared to planes in my area, about the size of a basketball in the sky and flickering like a candle. They moved silently through the sky in one direction.

First: I realize there is meteor activity lately and I am sure it is not such. I had just walked out of my house and looked up. At first I did see a plane BUT after changing view, see a glowing yellow orb. I call out a friend and they started recording with their phone. For a short time the orb bobbled up & down with faded ghostly fume like prongs on it, 3 of them. Then the orb faded off into the sky east turning red. All above WV Yakima. I have also seen this exact report a few days ago.

Loveland, OH
Driving home from work when noticed what looked like a stagnant fireball in the sky. It was round and an orange color that seemed after a minute to be very slowly rising. Continued down w. Loveland Ave. and noticed another, then another, and then 2 more identical objects. They all made a diagonal, relatively straight line with the first object being the highest at first. I looked back a few minutes later and the last 2 I saw were higher and closer to the other 2 than at first.

Astoria, OR
A bright orange flaming orb appeared in the sky flying silently across the water over the mouth of the Columbia river near Astoria Oregon. Then stopped and grew more intense in brightness and also appeared to grow in size for a few seconds before flashing a bright blue burst of what looked like electricity that lit up most of the night sky. Then it silently flew out of site but saw the same double flash of blue light two or three more times as it would light up clouds on the horizon every 5 minutes or so. Definitely not any possible aircraft lights or anything appearing man made whatsoever.

It was an orange fireball looking thing that started off very bright and dimmed as it moved a crossed (sic. across) the sky until it was no longer visible. Probably some kind of meteor since there was a meteor shower tonight.
