There were 3 at first in a triangle formation. Each looked like candles or fireballs. They moved fairly quickly over us. No sound. Then 3 more came in a straight formation. Again moved quickly & looked like candles and were silent.

My husband and I were sitting on the beach enjoying our getaway when he tells me in a calm yet strange way to look to my right (west)...there were anywhere from ten to fifteen unknown objects ascending..at first, I was trying to be logic about the situation until one by one they started to dim out until there were only about 3 left..at this point they began to appear perfectly triangular. .speechless doesn't describe my feelings go and I'm still in shock. They then began to slowly dim out and totally disappear. No sound at all.

Standing on the porch amd looked up in the sky and first thought was a star but was orange, then noticed the object was moving and moving toward us and became closer and larger as it moved in our direction (southeast) and then just disappeared. We did not hear any noise but should have because it appeared to be low enough. This is the first time seeing anything like this. It was certianly a UFO to us. I would like to know what it was and where it went

My wife and a daughter along with three grandchildren were swimming in our pool on Saturday night August 8th, 2015, at approximately 2100 hours. I was coming outside to see how everyone was doing and was not in the swimming pool with everyone at that time. My youngest grand daughter who is five noticed what she saw was a shooting star, about that same time I noticed several reddish/orange balls of light. At first there was only three which I thought were unusual and the I noticed three more just above tree level off at a distance. It was hard to tell the distance since it was night and there were some clouds in the sky. I asked what everyone just saw and they said almost the same thing I had just witnessed myself, I went inside and retrieved a pair of binoculars and tried to get a better look at them and they were still fuzzy. I tried my cell phone camera and it would not take a picture because it was to far away. The lights moved several times one in and out of the clouds and another made a drop and joined the other three lights above tree level after about two-three minutes two lights moved off into the distance and the other four lights left as well two of the appeared to vanish. There are no military areas where we live however there are some strip mining areas in the area. Some of the property is owed by AEP and was a wildlife area until it was closed off this past year and signs were placed to keep people out do to sinkholes in the area. The ages of all the witnesses are 60, 58, 31,13, 9, and 5. Myself, I am a retired male age 60 who has been trained over the past 42 years to observe the unusual after being in the Marine Corps and being an ex deputy sheriff as well as a private investigator and correctional officer and a contract security officer for homeland security. One thing I can add to this report is the way the lights in the sky acted. They moved around like no aircraft or helicopter I have ever seen, and had a reddish/orange glow to them, which if checked with any federal regulations on aircraft lighting is highly improper.

Callaway, FL
Happened to look up in the sky about one quarter up to see a flickering bright orange red light that seemed to have a slight black smoke trail behind it, moving pretty slow. Then it seemed to stop mid air and slowly start to dim then go out. And the other observers said they still saw a black figure replace the light but I was not able to see it. From the time we saw it and it went "out" was about 40 seconds. It reminded me of a hot air balloon really far away on fire but hovering.

We were all at the beach when we saw one orange fireball light show up. It was around for about 30-40 seconds before it disappeared. After a few minutes it appeared again. This time near the orange moon, once again it was there for about a minute this time and disappeared again. After closer observation, the original fireball was seen in the ocean water, and three fireballs appeared near the moon, forming a triangle shape, and were there for about 7-8 minutes, before they all disappeared one by one.

We were out sitting at the Plymouth waterfront, at around 8:00 pm, when we started to notice orange fireball shaped objects slowly appearing over the western horizon, and rising slowly upward. They would slowly arc out to the east over the ocean and then fade out. Once one was gone another would appear from the west. This lasted for about ten minutes and then it was done. There was absolutely no sound with them at all.

I saw a slowly moving red ball flashing and moving from north to south. The ball was first at a standstill, then it started to move really slow, too slow to be a plane or a helicopter. It was also moving really low in the sky and I didn't hear any noise coming from it. It was round and flashing. I honestly never seen anything quite like it.

I've thought about that night hundreds of times since seeing that, and only recently became aware that others in the world have seen green fireball ufos. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

We were outside on patio at about 10:30 or 11:00ish. It was a cloudy night in the Northern sky. I noticed an orange light traveling slowly NE. I asked my bf if he thought that was one of those orange orbs like we had seen before in that same stretch of sky back on August 22, 2015. This event had 3 distinct groups with different patterns. He thought it was a plane with landing lights going to the airport, since it was going in that direction. About what seemed like 5 minutes later another came and it continued on the exact same path and spaced the same at least 5 possibly more times. He insisted they were airplanes and I was like "no way". Then along came a formation which had 4 orbs and looked like a triangle with a tail (I have video). It slowly floated across the sky going the same speed and following the exact path of the ones prior. The 3rd set came not long after the formation cleared and these came one right after another and there were at le! ast 10 of those. Again, they followed the same path but seemed to go faster but that might just be because they were one right after another. Regrettably, I did not capture those on video. Since they were behind heavy clouds, they were not sharp clear circles except for one that passed by later which was so bright I literally had to squint until it too went behind cloud. When the formation came then it was obvious to me that those were not airplanes but my bf still insisted they were until he saw the video the next day. Again, I feel sick I didn't get the last set on video. I hope I see them again some day! Like I said, we saw them on August 22, 2013, at around 10:30ish. My bf said there were 3-4 stationary in the sky and they started interacting almost playfully. He said, they would shoot off in different directions and seem to fade and reappear too. He called me out so I wouldn't think he was crazy and I just saw one that night. It was just sitting there in one spot for at least 5 minutes. It was very round and bright orange. It then appeared to elongate and looked like a flame and got lighter orange. It seemed to have a white light pulsing from the right side. Eventually it jusy faded and disappeared.

As soon as I seen it I yelled for my GF to look... After it disappeared, she walked back to me and said, "I just seen an UFO." She described exactly the same thing I seen. We have no explanation.

On August 3rd, 2015, at 9:50 PM Central time), I witnessed, along with my wife, what can only be described as 4 to possibly 5 UFO’s flying in a extended single line form formation. My first observation happened when I stepped out onto my deck, facing directly South. The sky was clear, and many stars were visible, along with a couple high altitude aircraft heading westward. I then began to see what at first I thought was a aircraft at a lower altitude, coming from the SW into view and was orange glowing which I thought was its landing lights. We have a small grassy airstrip nearby. After it got closer, I was thinking it should be making some sort of noise which it was not. It see to have a similar speed to a helicopter then a airplane. As the first object moved East and appeared to change course towards the SE I saw another object of the same type come from the same general place the first object did. At this point I ran down to the bedroom and told my wife to look out her window, which she did, and witnessed what I was seeing. We ended up seeing at least 4 objects move at equal spacing across the southern sky, at about 30 degree from my point of observation. Then they all proceeded to fly the same path east, then southeast, and gained altitude and faded one by one. I most definitely cannot come to any other conclusion then what I and my wife witnessed was some sort of UFO that could not be identified as naturally occurring, or a physically identifiable, aircraft.
