Le 7 juin 2014 entre 2h et 4h du matin, une personne est surprise et intriguée par l'observation de phénomènes lumineux dans le ciel nocturne. L'observation se décompose en 3 phases : -Juste après 2h30 : trois objets allant du Sud vers le Nord : on constate selon Calsky (voir relevé) plusieurs satellites candidats à cette heure-ci : IGS02, Cosmos 1782 Rocket, et NOS 3-6 rocket. -Deux objets clignotants du Sud vers le Nord-Ouest, et du Nord vers le Sud :selon Calsky plusieurs satellites peuvent avoir suivi cette trajectoire. Le clignotement peut être expliqué par le fait que certains satellites sont en rotation sur eux-mêmes et renvoie la lumière du soleil irrégulièrement. Il peut aussi s'agir d'avions, car leurs feux anti-collisions clignotent une fois par seconde. -Une "gigantesque" lumière après 3h15 observée à l'Ouest et disparaissant vers le Sud. Calsky indique que l'ISS passe ce jour là, visible de 3h16 à son lever à l'Ouest (WNW) jusqu'à 3h22 où elle disparaît vers le Sud (SE). Il est toutefois étonnant que le témoin emploie le mot "gigantesque" pour une lumière seulement brillante comme la planète Vénus : le fait que l'observation ait eu lieu en pleine nuit peut éventuellement expliquer cela. Le GEIPAN classe ce cas "B" : observation probable de satellites et de la station spatiale internationale (ISS). Le milieu de nuit est favorable à la sur-interprétation des phénomènes célestes, en particulier pour les personnes émotives, ce qui semble être le cas de ce témoin. [GEIPAN classification B — ISS]

After a while the orb seeming lost some lumenessence and they then appeared to have inner structure. This was only noticeable after they moved away, and until they vanished from sight. Almost instantaneously, another orb rose straight up and the same event happened again.

I was visiting a local park. I was standing outside of my car taking pictures so that I could show my Aunt how much the park had changed. I didn't see anything strange. I took about ten pictures. When I got home, my Aunt and I looked at the pictures. When we came to this one particular picture we both said what is that? We saw this large bug in the sky over the softball field. It looked like a giant waterbug with a stinger on its right side. It had a large oval brown body, two bug like antenna's, two wings, and a yellow face. It appeared to have some yellow on other parts of the body. It appeared to be at least 150-200 yards in the air. I reported later that week to the newspaper. They put an article in the paper asking for people to tell what they thought it was. Some say a hummingbird, grasshopper, drone, secret helicopter, etc. We believe either a grasshopper, or a praying mantiss. It appears to us to be close to the camera. PD

Freeport, TX
I believe I saw a UFO space craft on May 31, 2014 while driving 50mph in Freeport, TX. It was descending, and then it elevated within a blink an eye, afterwards it accelerated at high speed towards my local chemical plants. There were clouds it flew into, and then it disappeared. The craft looked similar to a helicopter except it didn’t have a propeller or tail. It was oval shaped with a red light under it. It was about 12- 15 feet in length.

3 large objects seen floating around they moved high up and then 2 merged together and then we only saw 2. After a few seconds there were 3 again. All 3 objects were moving slow and they were very high up. All 3 formed a straight line and disappeared. I have a good friend who is an expert on UFO's and we did get pictures and he said they are definitely ships. In addition, when I looked at this sites home page, there is a picture of someone who captured 3 objects in the sky and that.picture is exactly what we saw!!!

Vidor, TX
The flickering of a bright light on our home surveillance monitor woke me & my husband. At first, we thought someone had a flashlight until we realized if it were anyone they would have to be on the roof. My husband sat in my car and to him, it stayed pitch black. When he watched how bright this light focused on him and lit up the entire inside of the car, he freaked out. It couldn't be seen with the naked eye. I videoed the 3 objects in the sky forming a triangle. The lights were green, red, and white. They moved extremely erratic, with no obvious pattern. They moved extremely fast in the sky. It was hard to keep them in the line of sight for the camera. Source of report does not indicate a date. We have assigned an arbitrary date above, until we hear back from the witness. PD

At times the orbs did not move and then they would proceed slowly west to east. I first noticed the orbs directly over Nolensville Road and when I pulled over they were continuing to move eastward. They were very low, making no noise, and moving vertically and horizontally in maneuvers not possible by conventional aircraft. They were eventually joined by a third orb that came out of thin air and then all of them shot upward and disappeared quickly. This experience left me feeling uneasy for the rest of the evening..

Reno, NV
When looked at through a 8 inch telescope it appeared to be a strange balloon that did not resemble anything of a weather balloon. A strange cylinder is located on the bottom of the large modular oval, so i believe it is some strange form of recherche ((sic. research)) balloon. If you are in the Reno area i strongly suggest you to check this out because it is strange that it has not moved for what now is 2 days.

An oval shaped see through with orange interior lighting was hovering above us. As I began to video and more people watched, the orange light flickered, then went out, and was not to be seen again.

New York City, NY
While spending Memorial day weekend in the Long Island/NYC area, I visited the USS Intrepid Sea, Air, and Space Museum. The day was Sunday, May 25th, 2014. After touring the top deck and interior I made my way down the stairs to the adjacent dock area. There were already multiple news and tour helicopters making their way up the Hudson River, while a US Coast Guard MH-65 was performing a Search and Rescue Demo (for NY Fleet Week) over the waterfront so naturally I had my eyes towards the sky, at just after noon (anywhere between 12:00 and 12:30) I noticed a small object at high altitude over the Hudson. At first I suspected it to be merely a balloon, however after examining the object for a few seconds I noticed it appeared to be considerably larger than a normal balloon and it was hovering in place as if not affected by the present winds which a balloon would be. Its coloration was also interesting, it appeared to mostly be a metallic grey or silver on the! surface. I pointed it out to my father who quickly dismissed it as probably being a balloon (although he said he couldn't see it very well). I began snapping photos of the object with my IPhone 5. I estimated the objects altitude to be around 4,000-5,000 feet because it was a lot higher than the helicopters flying up the Hudson but much lower than the occasional passing commercial airliner out of JFK airport, I had no way of guessing the objects size due to its distance and lack of anything close enough to it to compare it with, though it did appear to be larger than a balloon. After a few minutes the object began a slow flight path moving diagonally but remaining at the same altitude, I began backing up to keep the object in view while taking pictures but it soon passed over the deck of the Intrepid and out of sight. Although I didn't run into any other witnesses I think it is unlikely that I was the only one who saw it due to the sheer number of people in the area. Upon uploading and reviewing the photos on my computer the following day, I noticed several things that I didn't notice while viewing the object, The first few pictures showed exactly what I saw, a small rounded shiny metallic object hovering. However, as I looked through the pictures I noticed the object had a darker, shaded edge in some pictures giving it more of a definitive shape (this may have been due to the sun reflecting from the other side of the object) while in other photos the object appeared to be very bright and shiny. One of the photos the object is completely dark except for a small ring of light in the center that appears to be generated by the object, the rest of the object appears much more like a structured craft here with less of a circular shape and two corners on one side. The final photos show the object again to be metallic and silver with the upper half being brighter (almost a whitish blue) and the lower half being a darker grey, there are also several dark patches on the edges of the object. I have always been intrigued by the UFO phenomenon but have mostly remained a skeptic however I am questioning it now. All I can say is that while knowing a lot about aviation and can easily identify most airplanes or helicopters, this object I witnessed and photographed did not move like or resemble any normal aircraft that I have seen in my life.

3 Red-Orange crafts went overhead at low altitudes. Appeared to be glowing or on fire. They made no sound at all and moved at a speed somewhat slower then an airplane. ' They moved in a straight line with each other until they went out of sight over the treeline. They were somewhat round, but also looked sort of blimp shaped.

Saranac Lake (at local resort), NY
I went outside to sit the sun, following a few brief rain showers and while looking up at the cloud's edge to west, I saw a small shiny oval dashing about. The closer it came to me overhead, the neighbor's dog began to bark. This oval went from west to east to south to north and then disappeared from sight going to the southwest. I noticed a faint halo, like a force field around this object and as it got closer to the sun, a metallic like shine could also be seen. Its speed was tremendous and its ability to turn and twist in different directions was astonishing. It was completely silent and about the size of a jet airliner and probably about in same altitude as a jet airliner. If I were categorize the object I just observed, I'd say that it is exactly identical to the objects filmed in the 1950 Great Falls, Montana, film, but more oval in shape.

Grand Rapids, MI
At approximately the elevation a helicopter or small aircraft would travel, I observed five to seven smallish orange/yellow round objects appearing to hover west of the location I was in. I was riding a bike doing laps so I observed these objects numerous times as I would come around again. These objects did not flash or appear to be moving however on two occasions (laps) I observed one of the objects move towards another in the group then back to its starting location. After approximately 15 minutes I observed them appearing to move towards the west as they grew fainter and before I made the curve in my lap I could see they were gone. I continued for another 30 minutes and they did not appear again. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Coeur d'Alene, ID
As I stepped out onto my patio I looked up into the clear night sky and i saw a bright light moving across the sky. I grabbed my binoculars and focused onto the light. It appeared to be oval shaped with one large white light in the middle. The light in the middle of the object appeared to be the only light that I could see on the object. The object was also very low in the sky, as it passed over the top of me, I noticed that the light in the middle of the object made it appear to be shiny. I continued watching the object, as it went away from me I noticed the moon in the east and the object at this time was actually bigger than the moon. I continued watching it as it continued going east. The object originated in the west sky, while watching the object continue east, it slightly turned and started heading southeast until it faded out of site. i would estimate the time frame to be around 25-30 seconds. The object made absolutely no noise what so ever. At one point I dropped the binoculars down to see if i could actually see the object with my naked eye, it seemed possibly 100-150 feet above me. I would estimate the size of the object to be the size of a lear jet or helicopter. The size of the object was kind of hard to exactly determine because of the speed of which it was traveling.

Lewisburg, OR
I was driving on a backroad near Lewisburg, Oregon. There was a beautiful rainbow. I stopped the car and snapped a series of pictures. I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary until I reviewed the photos later that day. In one of the photos there is an oval shaped object in the sky. It was only in one photo so it appeared and disappeared instantly. I'm submitting the photo to the address below.

Venlo (Netherlands) · Netherlands
During the first sighting the object seemed to be at the same height as regular airplanes. It was white and oval and it moved to one side slowly, but it seemed to get a lot smaller while moving until it was only a white dot. I immediately called my mother to tell her what I saw. An hour later when she picked me up from the station in Venlo I explained her more about the sighting and then suddenly I saw the object again and pointed it out to her. She then also saw the white oval in the sky. The object left no trail and it didn't make a sound. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Calgary (Canada), AB · Canada
Friday, May 16, 2014 I was outside in my backyard in Calgary, Alberta, about 5:15pm and noticed that airliners coming out of YYC airport appeared to reaching higher altitudes faster than what we normally see in take off patterns. I watched one airliner as it banked from its southward climb out to a westward direction. Approximately one minute later, I noticed another airliner which remained climbing out in a southward direction and appeared to be at a surprisingly high altitude for just coming out of our airport. As I watched that airliner move past the directly vertical position my eye caught an object moving in exactly the opposite direction, south to north, at what appeared to be a high altitude at a speed at least equal to the airliner. The object was white in colour, with a bit of an oval shape about it and with a degree of transparency towards the middle. It appeared smaller than the airliner and I at first thought that it must be a bird but there were no wings and none of the typical motion of a bird. The flight path was very straight. It was in my field of view for approximately 10 seconds and having ruled out it being a bird I wondered if it might perhaps be a balloon being pushed along by a high altitude wind even though there was no wind at ground level and when I have seen weather balloons or kids balloons in the past they have all displayed some degree of buffeting motion being pushed along by wind. In this case the object had a solid trajectory as it travelled along. No sound from object.

I was doing stuff, when suddenly I looked at the clock and it was 23:32. Strange coincidence, and I looked from the window and saw a strange oval, producing white light and floating above the estate on the other side of the Harcov valley. After some time, the object just lift off straight upwards and wanished in the night clowds. Since then, I haven't seen it anymore.
