Two bright flashing red balls dropped down into the atmosphere at very fast speeds, while criss-crossing each other and stopped at 1000 feet for a couple seconds and shot straight back up. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Cazenovia, NY
Object started off as a light flash and was initially mistaken for a helicopter. The light was about 100 feet above the ground. The white flash turned into a large blue and green fireball. The ball had a tail with streaks of green, blue and purple following it. The fireball began a very rapid descent for about 15 seconds before disappearing, seemingly into thin air. No crash was heard or felt and there where no metor reports for this town or area reported that night.

Blue flame like comet traveling in a downard direction [ex: (like hands on clock set at 4:50)]. Very silent and looked as if it was a blue w/ neon/skyblue flame/glow. Then vanished as if it was a firework. Light too big and fast to be one and it came out of nowhere. Any1 else see this? Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Dayton, OH
I have not posted this until 04/27/15. The reason being, I like to investigate with nothing less than pure skepticism of my own eyes/thoughts, and try to as thorough as possible before I make a claim as something being unexplainable or being a "UFO". 2:30am, I see this yellow/orange, orb/ball of light floating fairly low on the night sky. I was thinking Jupiter, which I know was visible this night (Venus as well). I did all the research I could, pictures, astronomical star/planet arrangements for given time and date. The research kept leading me to convince myself that it was indeed Jupiter. My gut was saying otherwise. This object was relatively large compared to any star or planet ive ever observed with the naked eye. Within the first few moments of observation I had to keep refocusing on this object. It appeared at times humanoid in figure (arms, torso, head), "divine" dancing light if you would. Other times not so much, I rode it off as deceived perception. Then I kept seeing a flash of light over the right shoulder of the object and this too, rode off as a plane heading to the airport. Then I saw the flash again, and again, and again. That's when it really didn't feel natural. Even if the flash of light was a satellite in fixed position, why was it fixed, was it keeping an eye on this thing? At the least it was only a satellite interested in this object as well, if not it was from the object itself, either way I don't know. I know that it aroused me enough to call up a friend near by to check it out as well. Unfortunately I don't have a camera phone/camera but I did sketch it on the computer with paint.

Talihina, OK
Line of sight was south near high school looking northwest. One single fireball rose vertically from the summit of Buffalo Mtn. to approximately 45 degrees against a mostly clear sky. Hovering for approximately 3 minutes, it began to move in a straight line toward the northeast. It appeared to be traveling at a speed unlikely for conventional aircraft. Within several minutes it had moved completely out of sight. Not more than 2 minutes later, a nearly silent helicopter, traveling at tree level from the east quickly disappeared at the base of Buffalo Mtn. Observer was approximately 4 miles from the mountain. It should be noted that the strangeness of the object coming out of the mountain was further magnified by the observation of the helicopter traveling toward the sighting in what the observer describes as "stealth mode".

North Ridgeville, OH
I was driving down 480 East near North Ridgeville when I saw a bright blue flare like light fall from the sky. It was a crystal clear night, stars were visible, and there was a surprising amount of air traffic out that night. The light all of a sudden appeared and started to fall to the ground and vanished before it even hit the ground. No explosions were seen or heard of anything hitting the ground.

Seaside, OR
Sitting outside hotel room, when I saw 1 orange light in the sky hovering. Another orange light seemed to have came up from behind the buildings. It went up in the sky and hovered with the other one. It seems that the first light was waiting for the second light. The lights also seemed to dim and get brighter but in no certain pattern. When the 2nd light met up with the 1st light, they went straight up and faded into the clouds. The sky this night was partly cloudy, but they went into the clouds. Earlier this day we also noticed jets flying in odd patterns which made me instantly question it. They were making circles in the sky, 3 different contrails from commercial jets.

Columbia, SC
Sitting on my back deck, I look at the stars and aircraft from the airport every night. I've seen satellites and shooting stars on occasion but tonight I noticed something that I could not make out. It was lower than any plane from the airport would fly near the city and had no flashing lights no sound. It was so bright it was like the North Star. It was gliding and begin to gain speed at a high rate. And suddenly, it started going vertical and went straight up into space until the light faded. It was so clear it was unbelievable what I saw next. It came back down barely in sight and took off towards the east. The sky was clear no clouds. I've been in the military for over 17 years and I can say without a doubt that this was not from Earth.

I was sitting in my backyard which overlooks a ravine and was facing west. A long, straight white line caught my eye travelling roughly south to north in a straight horizontal line. There was a trail, and the head turned yellowish then red then disappeared. Don't know if it was a meteor or what.

Bornheim (Germany) · Germany
I saw what I thought was an airplane traveling in the direction from Bonn, Germany, toward Aachen, Germany. I did a double-take when I noticed that the object looked bright like the sun glowing gold. I ran and got my 30x optical zoom camera and took a few shots, as well as a short video. It was around sunset and had thought, this could just be a strange reflection from the plane which happens all the time. It just seemed very bright. What appear to be con-trails just seem a bit unusual as well.

Umpqua Nat. Forest (Idleyld Park), OR
Two balls of non-directional, full spectrum, bright light in perfect formation moving swiftly up the river valley, before veering up and shooting off into space near Mt Theilsen. A chase plane was observed about one minute later. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Melbourne (Australia) · Australia
I was driving in my car in peak hour traffic. I was waiting at a red light. I looked up into the sky and saw four balls of light moving in unison across a small section of the sky. They moved very fast and then disappeared. Then reappeared and did the exact same movement over the same area of the sky. Then they did it again. The balls of light were significantly separated so it couldn't have been two lights on either side of an airplane. The distance was too far. How they disappeared was very strange, no normal aircraft could do that. And also the speed they moved was way to fast for a normal aircraft. It was dusk and still bright enough to see that there was nothing connecting the balls of light. I stopped my car to film it but by this stage they had disappeared. It was over the sky above the Tullamarine Freeway Ascot Vale area of Melbourne.

Dalton, NH
Stationary golden lights about 100 times larger and brighter than a star. First sight due south, low on horizon, 5 second duration. Second sight about five minutes later in same location and duration. Roar of low level jets overhead. Went outside to deck. Heard a bloop/whoosh sound. Then a third sight to the south east of a horizontal row of three lights at low level and fourth light a little further to the south (right) for about 5 seconds duration. Jet roar diminishing into distance with two smaller red lights. About one year ago my girlfriend described to me a sighting of the three horizontal lights in approximately the same location. She witnessed lights on this sighting also. She just texted me that another woman she works with also saw "4 globes of light."

Dalton, NH
Golden lights about 100 times the size and brightness of a star. First light due south and low on the horizon lasted about 5 seconds. About 5 minutes later another light same location for about 5 seconds. Stepped outside onto deck. A blipping whoosh sound heard overhead. Southeast direction and low on horizon a horizontal row of three lights and a fourth light a little further to the right. Pursuit jets heard and two red glows seen in distance. Three similar horizontal lights were seen by a friend and described to me about one year previously. Now I believe her.

Saw six silent, slow moving red fireballs taking off. They moved slowly north east across the river. They progressively got higher and higher. They went behind a cloud and disappeared. This was a personal third sighting since June of 2012.

Santa Fe, NM
standing on my second floor balcony looking towards Santa Fe mountains towards the south east; saw a bright light appear than turn bright green and became much larger and fell towards mountains; it was unusual, like a falling star but very close up, it looked like it fell behind the mountains. Others the next day mentioned six to seven helecopters in the area same day.

Eugene, OR
At abou 0300, I was finishing my security patrol. As I looked up I saw 2 crafts come in from the west andturn east. One would jump ahead of another and stop. So the second craft could catch up. They are orb shaped and redish orange looks like fireballs.
