Savoy, IL
Several orange lights, initially looked like a falling star, but never changed. Series of two to three at a time coming from South horizon moving slowly over toward the North. Three alternated to form triangle, then one moved forward to go North, forming an elongated triangle while other two stayed side by side before lining up to move North. They looked like they were coming from the airport, so I drove toward the airport and parked. I didn't see anything looking South or overhead. I then looked North and saw four orange orbs in the area where I saw the first orbs.

Ridgeland, MS
While driving to work on I-55 southbound, the same route I take to work every day, I noticed a few dozen amber to orange lights as I looked toward the Washington Monument replica that is located at about the Ridgeland Madison border. I pulled over to the side of the interstate and noted that they were moving in a northbound direction, all at the same speed, in a lose formation. I turned off the radio and rolled down the window but heard no sound. I have never seen anything like this.

Webster, NY
I was walking my dog in neighborhood tract, and when she stopped to sniff, etc., I turned and noticed 6 or 7 reddish-orange objects tracking accross the sky. They seemed to be moving almost in a vee, like when geese migrate, but at one point, they clustered together closer, then began to travel again...the direction was west to east. I lost sight of them in the tree line, then saw them again in the distance, when they seemed to disappear. I turned to walk that way in the direction that I had initially come from, to see if I could see anything else. Over the next few minutes, I saw several single fireball orbs coming from the west, and heading east. No noise was heard with any of these objects; my dog (a hypervigilant border collie) did not react to anything.

Longwood, FL
7 red-orange fireballs flying across the night sky during the crescent moon. They were round like a fireball with these amazing blue/white lighting (not typical fluorescent lighting). They were slowly moving in formation, then out of formation making a diagonal line (somewhat), then disappeared into the dark clouds heading northeast.

Springfield, OR
About 45 minutes ago i opened the back door to light a cigarette and i did and i stepped out and I saw a plane coming from the south. My back door faces south. Its been so cloudy lately so i noticed the stars right away. I noted arcturus and then scanned to the west and noted jupiter. I need to say that i am overwhelmed again suddenly as i write this tears flood and i feel overwhelmed and i promise this is not a joke. as soon as i noted jupiter i look just to the left and up of it because two orangish very distant and even seemed like stars just started to dance and rotate almost orbit each other rapidly i stepped back in the house and said ((wife's name deleted)) but she didnt come out. i looked back and they horizontally and rapidly sped away in opposite direction. i could have sworn they just stopped and turned into stars you now what i mean? did they dissapear just in front of that star? i just didnt know. I have to say that i have experienced anxiety and depression in t! he past and even recently but this type of anxiety and feeling is way new. Just thinking of it and imagining it is making me feel so tense. my eyes get wide and tears just pour out litterally. im not crying though... It was just so amazing. also, i yelled for my wife ((name deleted)) because i think it was end of march when we were both sitting out here and bothed wathed what we believed to be a tea lantern floating slowly up and both said how pretty it was. and then it just stopped. and it floated. and it never burnt out. and i can tell you now 1000 percent honest that it turned into or burnt out perfectly in front of arcturus. so. i stepped out immediately lit cigarette. looked up immediately saw plane traveling normal height blinking lights red and white obvious plane. then notice acrturus pretty uch south above it look west immediately see them next to jupiter going crazy around each other. from me stepping out to watching them spinning around time lapsed about 10- 20 seconds. stepped in ((wife's name deleted)) stepped right out immediately saw them travel opp! osite di rections horizontally. time lapsed now maybe 30 seconds. i stare. nothing. i look south perfect horizontal white non blinking perfect steady moving like a satelite and dissapears. ive seen many satelites. i just wouldnt call it one. arcturus is my favorite star and jupiter my favorite to look at through telescope. i not an alien wacko. END.... sorry so sloppy. just had to type while so fresh in my mind. Thank you for your time. Sinerely, ((name deleted)). I live in Springfield Oregon, im a dishwasher in a restaurant. Im married and have a 12 year old daughter. i own my home i dont rent. I love nature and the outdoors. I am passionate about many things such as human rights animal rights and the environment. I grew up in yuma arizona on the border of mexico and had a sighting similar to phoenix light there when a kid but never thought about it again until now. so yea im just a normal guy practicing compassian and tollerance in todays speedy world and raising a little girl so th! at hopefully she just leaves this earth better then she found it as well. i have to work in the morning and im usually in bed by now. This is tough it realy is. I woke my wife up shortly after because i just had to tell her. i just felt crazy absolutely crazy telling her. She believes me though because of what we saw together not that long ago. I ahve to say that after seeing it all and before i woke up katy i just remember thinking my eyes are clear and fine. I wasnt groggy. i didnt get teray from a yawn or anything....my brain says no way man but my eyes saw that. what was that? and lastly. the first thing i did was look on youtube and there was a vid posted in texas 20 minutes prior of something similar. i posted a omment. it was a shaky vid though. I dont own a vid cam. i dont use a cell phone. I would take a pollygraph. i just want to know the truth. what the hell did i see tonight??

Rockville Centre, NY
My husband first observed object that appeared as a red burning ball with no tail. He called for me to come up to our 2nd floor window to look. The object was moving horizontal to the northwest and not descending. I thought it was a plane on fire that was going to crash. It then disappeared behind our neighbors house and was no longer in sight. My husband & I both went to college and have resided in our home for 40 years.

Springfield, OH
Observed orange glow approximately 200 feet above street level directly overhead. Object glowed like a fireball with some small flashes. Fireball like object steadily rose to 750 feet over the duration of the siting and extinguished approximately 1/2 mile away. Fireball did not leave a trail, nor did we hear any noise or feel heat from the object.

Iola, IL
On Friday, May 9, 2015, shortly after 12:00 noon my daughter & I saw in the sky a very bright, pink-ish, orangey ‘thing’. Although it was in broad daylight, the object was very bright - slightly brighter than the northern star. It moved at a pace that a far off jet might move – slowly, but detectable. After viewing for probably 30 seconds, it seemed to ‘throw off’ a couple of sparks, then disappeared. We managed to get 2 pictures before it disappeared.

Swansea, IL
Saw moving orange glowing (fireball type) heading south to north. Duration was about one minute for movement before disappearance. Fireball was not on fire, but orange glowing ball that was pulsing. Moved north bound then faded out immediately. Not a plane, not blinking aircraft lights. Orange ball was much larger than plane lights. Not a fire lantern, no fire and moving much faster than a fire lantern.

Blowing Rock, NC
A large slow moving fireball crossed the dusk sky. It was large, but seemed like it was above 25,000 ft. It moved silently, and slowly across the ridge line above Price lake, located off the Blue Ridge Parkway. I have a military background, but have never seen anything like it. My 6 year old son believed it was watching us.

crazy orange light sitting in the sky for two hours now. whipping around little light balls and sucking them back in like moths flying around a bright like when they get near they get sucked in by the light. Still, there right now doesn't look like its going anywhere.

Orange Park, FL
First and foremost, I need to state that I selected fireball as the shape of the craft because that's the closest description. I posted a video on YouTube and will provide a link at the end of this report. On May 7, 2015, I was standing with a buddy on our friend's front porch having a conversation when, above the house across the street, we see a bright orange ball cutting across the sky, moving from north to south. At first we thought this was a fireball or maybe a meteor falling thru the atmosphere (in the video you'll hear me state this). After a few moments I change my assumption because there was no discernible smoke trail, indicating that it couldn't be a fireball. We followed this object for a few minutes until it became difficult to see. I need to be clear about a couple of things that lead me to believe this is a UFO. When we first saw the object we assumed it was a fireball since it was coming towards us and we could see the "heat shield" as if it were falling thru the atmosphere at us. The reason I changed my assumption is because we got turned around 180 degrees from the porch we were standing on and could still see the same "heat shield" from the rear of the object and there was no smoke trail. It couldn't have been a modern day jet or plane either because we wouldn't have seen the jet's flame until it was going away from us but we clearly saw the color as it was coming towards us and going away from us. Here is the link for the video. If you have any information please leave a comment on the youtube page.

North Myrtle Beach, SC
We were visiting North Myrtle Beach the week of May 2-9, 2015. Late on the evening on Weds., May 6, 2015, my husband and I saw a low flying orange streak of fire, just flying over the tops of hotels. This happened close to Boulineau's in North Myrtle. This lasted for about 20 seconds, and then the light vanished. No noise, and no crash.

I woke up to a horrible sound like an animal being electrocuted, then a loud sound like an jet starting. It was completely dark in the house and I looked outside and saw lights and a craft of some sort fly by faster than any aircraft I've ever seen. there we're 3 lights that were shining and it seems to have a fireball behind it right before it disappeared into the air.

Star City, AR
Me and my friend were traveling north on US HWY 425 from monnticello to Star City, when we were about 4-6 miles out from Star City, we noticed a green fireball jet across the sky, it looked like it was headed downward towards earth and not across the sky. When we got home I found out that about the same time the cats of our neighborhood were acting crazy. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Pleasant Prairie, WI
I live in Pleasant Prairie, SE Wisconsin, about 2 miles west of Lake Michigan, and ½ mile north of the Illinois border. It was just about midnight I was standing on my front porch which faces to the northeast. The night was clear, full moon and the weather was nice, and the sky was mostly clear with very little clouds. From the east over the roof tops in the sky I seen somewhat large (size of a bus) 3 balls of light appear from the east (lake direction) and rising and turning to the north east. At first they seemed to be in some formation and my initial thought was fireworks, but then they separated slightly as they turned to the northeast and were still rising at a high rate of speed. My second thought was military as they headed north east and quickly disappearing – the ball of light which seemed like fire became smaller and began to quickly disappear one by one. About 10 minutes later, I saw them again. Rising from the same place which seemed like it was from over the lake. I quickly went inside to get my binoculars and by the time I came back they were fading to the northeast like before. The binoculars did not help much because they were already high in the sky and fading. The light was a pale yellow like a ball of flame. Then about 10 minutes later my friend who had left earlier before this happened, came back to get something she forgot. I began to explain what I seen. Then as we were standing there looking they appeared again. This time it appeared to be 5 and quickly seemed like 2 disappeared as they headed northeast and disappeared. I attempted to see them through the binoculars but by the time I focused on them they were too small and just seemed like balls of fire disappearing in the sky. I went into get my camera and waited at least 20-30 minutes but nothing, they did not reappear. These were not fireworks, they ‘could’ have been something military but then they made no sound – stealth (we would have heard an engine). There is nothing over the lake so I cannot explain where they came from. I have not seen anything like this before and my friend said the same.

New Berlin, WI
One orange, flaming fireball crossed the sky to the North. Within some time (10 minutes), a second fireball crossed the sky, in the same pathway. It burnt out sooner than the first, which passed from one horizon to the other. It was moving faster than any aircraft, had no flashing lights, maintained the same speed and brightness which was fire-like. The sky was clear, stars were visible, behind the objects minimal clouds.
