Sighting

I was driving from Tucson to Florence when I noticed a strange light surrounded by a greenish haze/mist. It was a clear night with no clouds and I could explain the strange mist surrounding the object. The object itself was shaped somewhat like a droplet and the greenish haze/mist surrounding it was shaped like an oval. It was moving from West to East. I pulled over and took two pictures. Within a minute of pulling over, it started to move over the road in front of me and slowly disappeared.

Very similar sightings to NJ drones. Clearly not an aircraft with any sort of passenger. Saw 3 separate drones “surveying” skyline.

It was a very clear and chilly night so I decided to look to see if anything was going on in the sky. I was with 2 of my friends as well as my brother and we each saw multiple, very tiny “stars” clearly moving but too far to record. After seeing this, we all saw the drones with red & green flashing lights. In the later portion of the video, drones seem to interact with each other and then move separate ways. Street lamps also went crazy when drones first appeared overhead along with neighbors’ floodlights. So electronics were certainly messed with and it made it a difficulty to record as well.

A large white V shaped air craft was motionless above 1-75 Mt. zion exit in Florence, KY. The craft was hovering / moving at an extremely low pace. Looking to be the size of a small pick up truck. At first this looked to be a commercial airliner but this craft had much more V shape with no tail or tail wings. Fits the description of the new sightings in New Jersey.

Noticed 3 objects stationary in the area. Drone-like object flying back and forth across the sky. They appear to be 1/4 to 1/2 mile above the earth - but no way to measure actually, estimate this distance. Could hear the one the flew overhead and captured a video - loud rumbling that stopped when lights went off and object continued on its trajectory. What was seen is consistent with the reports coming out of New Jersey, but a fewer number and not seen flying in any formation.

Father and I saw extremely bright, multicolored, shape-shifting orb while decorating Xmas lights.

On the evening of December 5, 2024 my father and I were decorating Christmas lights when we noticed there seemed to be some strange activity in the sky. Sightings begin around 12:30 A.M.; continuing on until around 2:30 A.M. I saw what looked like a “star” at a distance, & as I focused more I realized it was not a star at all! The orb was extremely bright. It was a very bright whitish/blue & I noticed it was frequently changing shape in a way that was unexpected/unexplainable. I did not notice until reviewing my phone’s footage the orb was actually burning so bright it was almost each color on the spectrum! My dad and I called it “inch-worming” because the orb would change from a spheroid shape into a thin bright line all the while moving extremely quickly and very high up. Some time went on and I also caught what seemed to be (military?) aircraft. I believe it was a jet of some sort with its speed but made a mistake during my recording, calling it a helicopter. However, I’m not sure what it was for certain. It just had dual exhausts and was moving extremely fast yet it was clearly something I’d be more familiar with. This “jet” seemed to be checking up on what this orb was up to. And I have to say it was bizarre. The jet left not long after having an interaction with the orb, almost like they were communicating? I am speculating here but I am just trying to make sense of it in the best way I can. After this encounter, the orb stayed another 20 mins or so and then left around 2:30 A.M.

Watching the night sky with my roommate, when we witnessed a bright white light (orb) appear. It appeared coming from the south headed north/ north east. No sound could be heard, and no trail could be seen. after watching the object travel the sky for approximately 5 minutes, the object appeared to stop, the lights began to flicker white and red and then went up/ faded? i don't know how to explain this part it was weird (it did not set into the horizon).
The size of the object and the distance is unclear. It was nearly impossible to tell depth, it appeared to be bright and close like an aircraft, but by eye felt it was in space like a large star. Way larger than the space station or satellite.

Photo captured during the night on a game camera

I have a game camera set up behind my home on a small acreage in an area just west of Florence Colorado. The camera does take color photos but it is low light at night. The camera is configured to take a three shot burst followed by a 10 second delay before motion detection can trigger it again. It looks like something entered the atmosphere and flashed like a fireball and disappeared. The third image shows nothing remaining of the object. The camera is facing east and the object is approximately 30 degrees above horizontal.

I saw what appeared to be a very odd shaped balloon rising from town

On Oct 15 2024, at approx 5: 40 pm I went out to my driveway to do chores. While I was out, I looked up and saw what appeared to be a balloon, rising (as a helium balloon would) away from my immediate neighborhood. I first noticed it at about 250 feet above me.

It appeared to be a black faceted balloon with a line dangling approximately 6' below the object with a small payload. What caught my attention was the movement and dark color. After observing it for just a few seconds I pulled out my phone (Samsung S22Ultra) and began filming it at 10x optical zoom. As it rose away, I changed to digital zoom (ultimately up to 100x digital). After filming for 28 seconds, I went inside to get my binoculars. When I came out it had risen too far to regain sight.

The object appeared dark (black) and cubic but with curious facets, They did not appear 'bulging' (as a balloon would be) but rather somewhat concave. It appeared to have a cubic 'wire-ish' structure wrapped taught material that had a vacuum inside - pulling the surface in.

Dangling from below the object was a non rigid line of some sort with a small 'payload' swinging at the terminus. What strikes me now is that the 'line' must have been a decent diameter (1/4-1/2 inch?) to be visible at the distance observed. The 'payload' was dark, small and of undetermined shape, perhaps 4" in diameter.

It rose and moved, swinging like a balloon, So I thought it must just be a weird shaped balloon, and though nothing more of it.

A week or so later, I saw a video on YouTube of a UFO taken by a pilot at 25,000 feet over Colombia. It was virtually identical in shape and color as to what I saw.

https://youtu.be/WiSw6_txe6Y?si=MGaqhdmWiEmnJ2qE

Curious now, and thinking it might have been a weather balloon of some sort, I reached out to our local NOAA office in Pueblo, CO asking if they launched or even recognized the 'balloon' that I saw. I emailed them the video, and after sharing it around the office, no one could identify the shape. All of their weather balloons are white and ovoid shaped, As I am very close to Ft.Carson, they suggested it could possibly have been a military craft of some sort. But neither of us could understand WHY anyone would launch suck a 'balloon' from Florence.

Included is the:
1) video
2) a still from the video
3) and inverted color and sharpened image of the still
4) a 3D rendering I did of the object (without the 'vacuum' indents)

Large brightly glowing object was traveling in a southeast direction towards my location, then just dissappered

Watched an object appear northwest of me in the night sky, going to estimate 20 miles away or less. It was totally encased in the brightest light I have ever seen from any type of aircraft, the entire object was surrounded/emitting this bright white light, it appeared to be slightly more pronounced in each front, and rear corner of the craft, but the whole object was BRIGHTLY emitting light. I watched it for approximately 30 seconds as it continued towards my location then as it was just overhead and continuing onward (maybe ~92 degrees) it just disappeared. The object didn't just go dark, best I can describe it is like it entered some location and the light just disappeared from front to back, it didn't just go dark like a light switch, it just extinguished front to back.

I'm just guesstimating altitude at around 15,000 feet, it made no discernible sound, it was no ordinary aircraft with the normal flashing lights, or a helicopter with spotlights, it was not in anyway comparable.

Shape: Orb
Explanation: Rocket - Certain
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

What makes me think this is worthy of filing report is that a high speed donut cloud formed just ahead of the object

I can best give the time as: past sunset, still a little orange at the horizon. Venus was in the orange part of sky near horizon. The moon was crescent and it was illuminating some high clouds that night. The UFO started as a glowing orb moving across the western sky from N-NW towards S-SE. I can't tell if the glow was caused by interaction with high clouds, but I initially thought it was a satellite reentry judging by the speed and apparent distance. There were no blinking lights or sound, and it was moving about same speed as a passing satellite.

As the object passed (from my viewpoint) under the crescent moon, that's when a donut shaped cloud formed just ahead of the object and, surprisingly to me, the cloud seemed to progress ahead of the object faster than the object was moving. The cloud appeared to move in the same direction as the object as the cloud expanded, similar to someone blowing a smoke ring from a cigar. From my viewpoint, I was seeing the cloud almost edge-on, but off enough to see clearly that it was a ring-shaped cloud.

My two best guesses for what I saw are: A - a satellite bouncing off the upper atmosphere, and some part of it triggered a transonic induced ring cloud. B - a craft launched a projectile that created the ring cloud as the projectile went transonic.

I never heard any kind of sonic boom though, nor could I ever see any projectile (just the cloud formed ahead of the object that I could see). The ring cloud is what made me think this was weird enough to report.

Also, last detail, after the ring cloud, the original object dimmed as it moved away and there was no longer any glow around it.

Videoed a bright object changing colors and shapes and moving faster than man has accomplished

Husband stepped out and yelled to come. He saw it zooming around about 30 seconds before I started filming. A bright object, no shape at the time and changing from red to blue to green. It started moving horizontally faster than man made. Not as high as Chinese Spy balloon which I also saw and videoed. Not as high as airplanes along the flight path. Could have been so large that it looked lower in the sky. Turned into a circle, changing colors then blinking. Shape changed from circle to shapeless streaks darting so fast I don’t even think the military has anything that fast. We were skeptical but nothing else explains it. Just like in Close Encounters when it flew around the mountain road as people stood there. There was only one object and it darted around so fast and went behind the tree line. Someone was shooting fireworks to the northwest. We heard no sound at all. Video was too long to load.

Large very bright round object

I was walking my dogs late and was on the top of a hill in my neighborhood when all of a sudden a bright,huge, and round object dropped down very fast. I was very startled and my instant thought was something is crashing. There was no noise at all. It went out of my view within seconds because of the wooded area in my subdivision. I’ve seen drones before and this was definitely no drone and no fallen star. The best way I can describe it would be like a full moon very close to earth falling straight down.

A weird cylinder object with lights flew over me and away.

I was on the sidewalk walking my dog in my neighborhood. I heard a really weird and quick sound from above so I looked up into the sky. While I was looking my dog started whimpering and tried to go back to our house. I saw like a cylinder shaped above just floated away. There were lights that would change color super fast until it went back to white. I thought it might be a plane until I looked it up, it was definitely not a plane. To my eyes, it was blurry around it and it was foggy. I went to check my phone to see the time, it said 4:20. I left my house at 4:10 and had definitely been walking for 20-25 minutes. It didn't make sense, my phone then shut down while it had a full battery. By now my dog had been really tugging, so I walked back to my house. When we got home my dog ran into her crate. This is super weird, she hates going into the crate and never goes in it.

Two pyramid shaped objects appear to be made of highly polished metal, flying in tandem.

I saw them moving slowly as the sunlight reflected off of them. Two pyramid shaped objects that when I viewed through binoculars, appeared to be made of several spheres stacked or grouped into a pyramid shape. They were as shiny as highly polished chrome. One flew above the other. The top object was right side up like a pyramid while the bottom object was upside down. I tried to get a 2nd photo after observing through binoculars but they vanished from sight while I put the binoculars down and picked my phone back up. I did get one picture when I first saw them as I was trying to zoom in on them to get a better look. A jet flew by that area shortly after in a direction not normally observed by aircraft in this area as it is near the airport. This jet was not flying to or away from airport.

They were stars that had half crescent shapes under them with an occasional beam of light. They flew up down they would squiggle and they would zip faster than anything I’ve ever seen. They formed a T shape and it was over a great distance. They covered half the sky while my mother and girlfriend watched for over an hour.

Perfectly still. I noticed it, looked down at the dogs and had a moment of ‘huh…what is that?’ Looked back at the object. It stayed in that area of the sky for approximately two to three minutes and I watched it the entire time. All of a sudden, the object shot upwards at an incredible rate of speed from its previous still position and went in a northeasterly direction then disappeared.

Glowing Sphere over roof tops at Merrill Ranch in Florence AZ

Driving on our way home in the early evening on Hunt Highway southbound nearing the Florence Hospital. About 1.5 miles away after passing the butte formations, my wife and I immediately noticed a glowing orange-red “jelly bean” shaped sphere hovering over the southern end of Merrill Ranch Sun City residential development near the Police and Fire Station. We have a lot of air traffic in the area for PHX and nearby AZA. The AZA air traffic is mainly student pilots flying light aircraft at about 5,000 feet (night and day) right over Merrill Ranch and are easily heard from their engine noise and located with their lighting. So when we saw an aerial object not making any noise and stationary it has a high strangeness to us that cannot be ignored.

The glowing sphere was so out of place due to its very low altitude, color and lack of noise such as a medical helicopter would make from the Hospital or an Army Helicopter from the nearby military reservation. Normally the Army Helicopters would fly much higher, i.e., 3-5,000 feet AGL. As I made a left turn eastbound off Hunt Highway to a side street. My wife reacted with mounting concern because the object was not moving and it seemed to get a little larger as we were closing distance to it. So I slowed down to about 10 MPH and she rolled down her window and stared at it for about 30-40 seconds looking south and it was silently stationary at 75-100 feet above the roof tops. We noticed that there were a lot of dogs barking in the neighborhood. At the time we thought it was due to coyotes running through the neighborhood, but in hindsight it may be related to the observed object.

At this point she had the only view of it and told me it decreased its color temperature to a dull rusty red color and then just disappeared. We were 800 feet down range from its position and It seemed to notice that people were observing it. I have had a prior close encounter in November 2020 and this object may be the same one from November. I will report that separate. The weather at Merrill Ranch was clear skies, some low level dust/haze, cool temperatures in the upper 40’s with light and variable winds from the northwest at about 5-15 knots. I am a former U.S. Military Service Member with combat experience and my wife is a career management professional. The event left both of us with an uneasy feeing, that something so quiet could silently creep through a populated residential area virtually undetected.

18 brite white lights traveling in a straight line east northeast off the west coast of central Oregon

At 6:00 AM I was taking out the garbage. When I looked up at the sky I saw two lights similar in appearance to stars moving east northeast across the handle of the big dipper. It was partly cloudy, with a large break of clear sky. When the two object disappeared from view to the east, I looked back to the west and saw more moving lights irregularly spaced; but all in a straight line on the same heading east northeast. Two of the lights were side-by-side and one light had a much dimmer light traveling at it’s side. The points of light were bright white at varying distances from each other and occasionally one or more would increase in speed momentarily. There were 18 to 20 of them all on the same heading, eventually traveling through the handle of the Big Dipper and then disappearing from view in the eastern sky. They were traveling much faster than a satellite, and much slower than a meteorite. The whole viewing event took appx. 2-3 minutes.

Large fireball traveling from east to west at approximately 2:00, 0.5 mi from Florence, OR coast

Unexpectedly awoke at approximately 1:50 and stayed in bed looking out west-facing window. Home approx 0.5 miles from the beach in a fairly dark neighborhood with no street lights. The milky way is visable on clear nights. Observed large fireball traveling from east to west at approximately 2:00, seemingly directly over the house. First instinct was to get up, put glasses on to see if it was a plane in flames (object likely moving to fast) or a meteor (very large) that had crashed. Unable to get out of bed for several minutes while attempting to rationalize sighting, perhaps due to fear. Once able to go to window, no further activity was observed (e.g., lights, fire). Nobody else in home, no reaction from dogs sleeping on upper level.

I was decorating my front yard for Christmas. I heard a big jet in the sky close by, so I looked up to see. As I was watching the jet fly North, I saw a row of lights, 5 total,in a line, flying south. It was either one long craft with 5 lights, or it was 5 different flying crafts flying in formation. The object was not very high in the sky, and the lights were not bright, they were somewhat dim, like trying to he camouflaged. The only sound I heard was from the jet plane flying North.

I saw this same object, flying the same direction and flying this height about 4 weeks ago at 3:30am.

It was moving very slow above the cloud line and and there were very few cloud in the sky. But that not the best part. What was more interesting was when it went into the cloud it never came out on the side. The cloud was not that big and you could easily see both sides of the cloud. Till this day it bugs me because I know for a fact what I saw I was never a believer about aliens until I witnessed that.

It hovered fairly low and moved slowly across the sky, well above distant trees, but low enough that its dark triangular shape was visible in the sky, it then it vanished abruptly. It may have been there longer than I witnessed, but it remained in my vision for only a couple of minutes.

One large white disc shaped object near Sea Lion Caves, Oregon.

11-16-2017, 8:45pm driving north on highway 101 from Florence, Oregon, to Yachats, I saw a large white disc off to the left of the car, out over the ocean. I was on the passenger side and could look at it for about 5-10 seconds. We were driving north along the edge of the cliffs - about 200 feet up from the water. The perfectly circular disc was evenly lighted, - not harsh or brilliant like a lighthouse light but evenly soft white. No glow to it. It was approx. the size of a half dollar at my finger tips when my arm is extended.

It did not move and hovered just about 20° below my shoulder height when seated in the car - a mid sized Escape.... not the newer taller one - out over the water. We did not hear any noise. Trees got in our view so about 1 minute or less later we pulled into the parking lot of the Sea Lions Cave where I got out and could see most of the coast to Florence. All was dark and quiet - no sign of anything anywhere in the water or along the coast.

Bright White Round object over ocean near Sea Lion Caves in mid coast Oregon

My wife and I witnessed seeing a very bright white round light while I was looking down towards the ocean shore while driving north from the city of Florence on route 101. The light was much larger than any type of search light or light house, and was out over the ocean, not far off shore. This observation occurred around 8:45 on November 16th 2017. I was driving during the sighting, and was unable to pull over until we arrived at the Sea Lion Caves pull of area about 1/4 to1/2 of mile north of the area where I observed the white circular light. Once we pulled into the Sea Lion Caves parking lot we were unable to see anything in the direction were we first saw the light.

Laying in hammock watching clear sky and object appeared suddenly. It was silver, silent, tear drooped in shape and hovered over us for about two minutes, before we finally decided to get out of the hammock to investigate.

We are 100% certain it was not a plane because a plane actually flew under it while we watched hover. Ha! That provided size perspective relative to the Boeing 737. It seemed to be about a quarter of the size of the plane. We could also hear the planes engines but this craft was silent. Its movements we odd. It seemed to be able to move side to side a little. It even seemed to shoot up at one point. Then it finally took off at a high rate of speed. It was so strange.

I was getting ready for bed and noticed that the sky seemed quite bright, so I looked out the window and saw lights I thought was an airplane, at first, but it wasn't moving, so I grabbed my binoculars and it looked like a triangle with a green light on each side and in the middle a red light.

My mom was in the other room so when I yelled for her it's like it heard me because it took off behind the trees but then I saw it go down. It literally went from going straight to lowering down behind the trees which was probably around 50 feet in front of me.

And earlier that day I saw a black helicopter fly overhead, which I also saw one a month prior too!

And then on the 6th of this month was a very rare earthquake that happened after midnight, as well.

Disk shaped UFO Ten feet off the road in front of me. In midday. 2 witnesses

While traveling down Old River Rd, away from Florence, a truck driver traveling ahead of me suddenly slammed on brakes and moved towards the side of the road. This movement was caused by a saucer shaped object hovering ten feet off the roads surface. The object slowly gained altitude while moving to the right.

We (the truck driver and I) watched this object move until it was level with the trees and suddenly appeared to go behind the tree line. This was directly in front of a large building, that is open, but no one ever sees workers or trucks. I drove this road daily, twice a day.

The vessel was around 10-15 feet in diameter, it was completely solid with no apparent openings or windows. However, coming from the right of the center a "L" shaped thing was coming out of the vessel.

Egg-shaped objects in the South Carolina sky.

I was outside with my daughter. She was playing in her sand box and I was laying on the ground beside her looking up like I always do at the sky. It's 72 clear bluebird skies in SC in Feb so we were enjoying the weather. As I am looking up at the sky I see a jet liner coming out of the south heading north east. Just then an object the same color as the jet liner enters my view from strait over my head moving from SW to NE. It is egg shaped and the size of Venus in the night sky. The object was moving at what appeared to be a high rate speed. It went from over head to out of sight (about 70 deg.) in 4-5 sec. It caught me by surprised because I couldn't believe what I had just saw. I actually called the UFO hotline within 30 seconds of this happening (google search on my cell phone) and the guy was very short with me and requested I submit a report here. After I hung up I was looking up toward where the object had went and I saw what appeared to be the same object appear from the NE and back to the SW. The object was moving slower this time and it actually stopped briefly and then quickly went off to the East and then suddenly vanished. Then about 1 minute later another object the same shape and size following what appeared the same path as the first approaching from the SW moving to the NE, but moving at what appeared to be a slower speed (70 deg.) in 7-8 sec. That object went out of sight and I did not see anything else. I even checked the wind to make sure I wasn't seeing something blowing with the wind but it was coming out of the East. Like I said the skies were clear and I definitely saw something I can't explain.

October 25, 2016, between 6:30pm and 7:30pm, numerous people from different towns in Arizona are seeing lights in the sky.

I saw 9 lights in a straight line then the lights went out one at a time then they moved to a different spot and the lights came back on. These lights were like a greenish color, but then when I went to take a picture, they were gone in a flash.

Silver lighted group of objects near top of Sweeney Ridge. Uncertain if they were joined, or separate.

At first thought I saw a flock of silver geese. Near the top of the north side of Sweeney Ridge, hovering. Either all of these were connected or a dozen or so individuals in a group. Shiny silver (looked metal) lights or maybe just reflective.

Grabbed cell phone to try to photograph, but too late. It headed south and stayed about the same height. I thought about drones, but there would have been a lot of them together. I cannot make any sense out of what I saw. It was pretty…

At first glance I didn't notice anything other than a starry night. Until a distant light slowly with no sound made its way across the sky to ascend into the outer limits. Not in a straight liner pattern like a satellite.

Another of the same loocking lights came from the other side of the sky. Coming into view fading in as if it had entered the atmospher. Traveling a much shorter distance than the last.

We witnessed a couple more short intervals, one even flashing or guiving off a quick burst of light.

Possibly two UFOs over Florence KY

While swimming with my family, I noticed what looked like a rectangular cube hovering high in the sky, it was spinning, and one side of it was darker than the others or had a mirror finish. It would go into the few clouds that were around it, completely disappear, then reappear a few seconds later. The object did that a few times before going back into a cloud and completely vanishing for good.

My wife saw, and even managed to get a picture of either this object or what was possibly a second object, but she described this one as being more of a round shape, with the same color scheme to it, the picture however, was taken on a cell phone and was too far away to be able to make out any details.

Gray, disk shaped with red and white flickering lights around the edge. 4 Orange lights on the bottom.

Not positive about the time, but usually close my curtains around 8-9pm. I usually look for the moon before closing my curtains.

That night, I happened to see a disk shaped, gray object flying maybe 200' off the ground, heading in a NNE direction. It had red and white twinkling lights around the outer edge. It had 4 orange lights on the bottom. One kept going out and flickering, like it was not working properly. The speed was similar to a small plane.

When it was near the Supermax prison the lights from the prison were bright enough that I could see 3 rounded projections on top of the craft. I ran to get my camera, but when I got back to the door about 10 seconds later, I couldn't see it anywhere. The guards at the prison should have been able to see it.

I'm a little confused as to why they didn't report this.

6 lights in line formation moving northeast from Oneil bridge area over Florence AL

6 lights flying in formation coming from Tennessee River from what looked like Oneil bridge heading northeast. Lights were not flashing like normal aircraft and formation started to break up as rear lights seemed to drop as lights in front seemed to rise.

Lights looked like possibly helicopters, but have never seen 6 helicopters flying in any formation over Florence, AL, at 10:00 pm....EVER!!!!!!

Lights were moving northeast at a faster speed than you would associate with helicopters but were too low to be mistaken for airplanes, not to mention that there is no military base for aircraft anywhere near this area.

Yellow/orange sphere hovering 20' off the ground above a neighbors yard.

There were military helicopters flying around the mountains to the north that day. I went outside to see if I could spot their lights and to the right I noticed what looked like a very bright yellow/orange ball of light sitting 20' above the ground approximately 2 houses east of me. I was trying to figure out what it was, as it was not moving.

Then after about 5 seconds it looked like it was starting to melt and just disappeared like someone flipped a light switch. No fire dripped off it. We don't have street lights and it was very dark out, so I couldn't see anything of a craft outline. No idea if it was a drone?

The light was about the size of a beach ball. Very strange. But not my first experience with strange things.

Almost full-moon appearing object in distance above trees. Not the full moon.

I stepped out on the front porch which faces south, and to my left (east) I saw what looked like an almost-full moon hovering above the tree line a distance away. It suddenly just disappeared.

I thought it was the moon and was covered by clouds, but it was a crystal clear starry night.

Suddenly, it appeared again, and remained for about 30 seconds, and abruptly disappeared again. I discovered it wasn't a full-moon phase, but the moon is in a crescent phase at that time, so it was not the moon.

Location: Florence, AL, USA

Shape: Orb
Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Color, Aircraft nearby

Bright multi-color flashing orb saw in the sky making slow and fast maneuvers from left-right horizontal too vertical maneuvers easily.

The first sighting was approximately two months prior to the sighting I am posting about now from this last Wednesday (11-4-15) at exactly 2:50 a.m. I am a Private Investigator my late twenties and work crazy long hours so needless to say I was asleep on the couch when my Fiancée woke me up in a frightened state saying that she just observed something unexplainable in the sky upon walking outside to have a smoke. I immediately walked outside and much to my surprise there it was. Distance, size and altitude were obviously impossible to determine due to it being far up in the sky. However, I can say with certainty that it was large and was at a far distance from my position in the field behind my residence. This object was absolutely silent and the only observable features about it was that it was a bright glowing white orb (I refer to it as an Orb because it appeared this way from the constant bright light. I don’t know if it was a craft or what) with what a! ppeared to be flashing lights of blue red green and yellow (however this was just observation by the naked eye and could have been a larger or a smaller spectrum of colors). It is hard to say if the changing “flash’s” of different colors was from a spinning movement around the center of it was flashing from the center like a strobe.

I want to point out that while this specific experience I am speaking about is from me and my Fiancée’s first experience from two months prior, both experience’s had the exact same type movements that I am about to describe. The main difference is that the first sighting was at approximately 2:50 a.m. and the most recent sighting was at 10:15 p.m. and BOTH SIGHTINGS HAPPENED IN THE SAME LOCATION IN THE SKY. It helped me out that I had the same two tall trees in my field to use as landmarks while looking up in the sky and allowed us to be able to tell that the objects maneuvers were actually being done and that it was just a trick to our eyes. The object’s maneuvers are what really took us by surprise in th! at it changed in speed at random while going from a hovering position to suddenly darting to the left or right. Also it made circular flying motions as well as moving from a stationary hover to the left then suddenly making nearly a 90° turn and going vertical. All of these types of maneuvers were observed many times and at multiple patterns (Such as darting to the right then shooting straight up all while never changing speed, or while flying in one direction suddenly maneuvering into making an almost perfect circle in the sky) I do not feel that this was a standard aircraft of any kind as it showed no lighting like any citizen passenger or military aircraft I have ever observed. It also did not appear to be moving farther away from our position or so much closer either as its size should have decreased or increased as it flew away or flew closer to us. All of the patterns and sudden changes in speed were observed in a relatively local area in the sky for a very long period of time. At the end of the sighting on the first night, we observed the orb as it ended up flying down out of the local area where it had seemed to hang around and appeared at this point to start flying away from us towards the horizon. However while it was still easily observable in the atmosphere, it seemed to us as if it almost blinked out of existence. The most recent sighting we never witnessed when or how it departed due to both of us having to call it a night and go to bed due to having to be up early for work the next morning. While observing this anomaly on both nights, I first grabbed the first thing with a camera which was my Galaxy S5 with a 16 mp high definition camera in it. While I know that this isn’t super great camera wise, I thought just maybe since this orb is illuminated so well it would pick it up. However, I was wrong. So I can to one of my gear bags I have for my job and just grabbed the first handheld camcorder I could find and it was my Samsung camcorder ! which isn’t anything fancy just a 32x zoom but usually has don! e me alr ight even in most low light scenarios. And again seeing how illuminated this object was I thought surely it would pick it up at least somewhat. But no. I am just hoping that someone else could have observed this event near me. I do want to put out that being the I live in the very northwest part of AL, this object easily in my opinion was hovering and doing these crazy maneuvers over the state of TN or MS. I know MS has an Air Force Base however the only one that comes to mind right off is a bit south of where this orb would have been flying over. So anyone who can help me out here explaining this please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Saw 3 seperate light orbs brighten up above us in the air,hovered & then travel southward

First, let me say,I'm not new to these light orbs & I have been seeing these orbs constant & researching them since our very first sighting in 06.For the record,I have made reports here & to Mufon & have videos on youtube.Back in 2013 when the sightings got bizzare & frequent,I tried to make reports & to get more witnesses from UFO investigators but nobody would listen,so I quit reporting.I know what stars,venus,the ISS & airplanes are & look like.None of them fly silently right above tree lines & above you ,hover,get bright & pulsate,flicker violently & dim back out before flying onward.When someone makes a report & says "flickering" I know what they are referring to because I have witnessed seeing these for a long time & know their characteristics.It's not a twinkling star or a hoax as suggested at the bottom of 1 report here on NUFORC that was from my state back in August.Being insulted myself before,I can imagine how that witness felt. My advic! e,just because you don't understand exactly what someone is saying don't be quick to discredit them & say it's a hoax.If you see these orb ufo's enough,read enough reports,you will start to compare events & know the characteristics of the Ufo's being reported. Now on with my report.

What's different this time is,tonight me & my wife witnessed 3 separate very bright orbs light up right above us in the air.To see 1 orb is always a treat.The most we have ever saw in 1 night has been 2.And I'm talking about the low ones,maybe a few hundred to a thousand ft high,not the ones higher up about airplane height.The first orb I saw by myself around 7:00 & it appeared to come from the north West.I can't say for sure because it didn't get bright for me to see until it was right up on me. Note:(this is what they do sometimes,we don't always see them coming from a distance,they light up in a instant in front of you & dim out in an instant)It stayed lit up bright heading south until I could not see it anymore.

The second bright orb appeared about 15 minutes or so later about in the same spot heading in the same direction as the first orb but dimmed completely out within 10 seconds are so.A few minutes later,we saw the 3rd orb & it was directly above us & seemed to hover a few seconds as it was powered up as bright as it could be & then it stated to move,pick up speed & then continued to travel southward as the first 2 orbs.

That was it, it was a clear starry night with a slight wind until the orbs came through.About 15 or so minutes afterwards it got really cloudy & we went inside.This was the first time of seeing 3 back to back like this. What irritates me is,we can make reports until the sun don't shine but nobody can come forward & tell the public what we're seeing? If you don't believe in aliens,you can say It's U.S.Government related but these are not just in a specific area like I once thought.When I see a video from a guy in Europe,Mexico or in Egypt & I can clearly see or read that it matches exactly to what I see with my own eyes in small town Alabama then there is a lot more to it.

Black glassy silent craft over fame fields

I was driving back from a D/O in Florence AZ, heading toward Queen Creek for a P/U to Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix. I was alone in the company van, windows open, music playing and watching the fields in my peripherals while singing & driving. I saw something black, large, rectangular & glassy coming from the South farm fields. I turned the music off, slowed down & watched it cross over the road to the fields in the North. It did not reflect the headlights, even with brights on. It blocked the lights of Queen Creek. Once the object left the light from the headlights, it flew higher and went East behind me. I was still driving & decided to keep this to myself because of the stigma attached. This was very close to the NG site near Florence.

Orange circular object moving fast

I looked out my bedroom window, as I often do before making my trip to the bathroom, to look at the stars. When, I could not believe my eyes… an orange glowing circular shape was moving pretty fast towards the trees!

I grabbed my glasses off the night stand, and sure enough…. This was unusual! I have been watching the stars since I was a kid, and even own a high power scope, in which I have witnessed rings of Jupiter, many moon craters, and a solar eclipse.

I know what a satellite looks like. This was NOT a satellite.

What was it???!

I ran outside to get another look at it, but of course, it was gone.

USAF Veteran witnessed a glowing amber pulsating ball floating in a field.

While driving my asthmatic wife at 0255 hours, during an asthmatic episode, to open up her lungs.

Myself...a USAF veteran, with 4 1/2 years of flight line experience, working night shift, viewing normal flight patterns, witnessed an amber pulsating ball floating in a field to the right of the road we were traveling.

The circular light was eye level with me driving my vehicle. The field was around 6 feet lower than the road I was traveling in a valley surrounded my forest. The ball was glowing an amber color but pulsating light with small light glowing beneath it.

The light looked like a dim flame or my best description of it is it looked as if it was a reflection of light off a lake but in the air. To me it looked more like some kind of energy source over a physical object because of the unusual light it was emitting.

After questioning what we witnessed we turned around and confirmed our sighting. Because of my wife's fragile condition, I was unable to park and investigate, and document, the sighting.

Orange glowing object(s) that manipulated and transformed shape before vanishing into the sky.

It was about 12:30 AM last night, March 24th, when I was leaving my friend’s house. Immediately after exiting her front door, I noticed a glowing orange light to the west, in the shape of a sickle.

At first I thought nothing of it. There is a church next door, with orange street lights, so that was my first thought, that this object was just a street lamp. But as I walked to the street, to my car, the object was floating far above, away from everything else manmade. It looked somewhat like the moon so I looked on for a second and then hoped in my car and headed home.

I turned around and headed west, towards my house and looked up again and the object had transformed before my eyes. It was no longer in the shape of a sickle, but two glowing orange diamonds connected together moving around in the sky. I was in shock, and mesmerized by this object.

As I traveled up the block I lost the UFO for a second due to trees overhead. When I regained view of the object, it had ! now taken the form of a straight glowing vertical orange line in the sky.

At this point I stopped the car and gazed up in astonishment. Before my eyes the vertical line shrunk in on itself until it was the size of a tiny orange dot and then vanished. There was no sound, and just like that in the blink of an eye the UFO was gone.

I did a lot of research this morning to see if any other reports were filed. But have not come across anything yet.

Just thought it was my duty to report this phenomenon. I’m incredibly mad that I didn’t video the occurrence but everything happened so fast and I truly was in shock as to what I was seeing before me.

Dark dome shaped object over house.

March 11, 2015 2035 pm Florence, Or 97439

We had just arrived home and were getting out of the vehicle when we spotted an object overhead.

It was 40 degrees overhead moving on a south to north steady path. Altitude was approximately 100-200' above us and it was the size of 4 full moons.

The object was black in color, dome shaped on top with a flat bottom. The dome area had what appeared to be louvers evenly spaced throughout and an antenna with a very bright white light at the top.

The object made no noise and the light from the antenna left a small trail as it moved.

We watched it for about 10 seconds and it dropped over the tree line out of sight.

Silent Bright pulsating light orb that sails slow & low across the sky just above tree tops

Two nights in a row last night 1-17-15 & tonight 1-18-15 we witnessed at home in our backyard a silent & very bright pulsating light orb sail slow & low across the sky just above our tree tops traveling from the south eastern sky going north. We see these light orbs occasionally at dusk & sometimes a few hours after dusk. We have been researching these orbs since 2006 which is when I first made my report here. At one point we was seeing these orbs so often that it seemed pointless to report every single time.Anyone who reports to Mufon, well good luck! They will tell you that satellites & the ISS passes over ya at a few hundred to 1000 ft from the ground or that it was a`plane. I would advise to not report anything to mufon because it's a waste of time. I am making a report tonight in case anyone in nortwest Alabama has or is seeing these to know that you are not alone.I don't have any photos from the past 2 nights but I do have 1 from Dec 9, 2014, I'll share in email. I have photographed & filmed these light orbs in the past & they are on youtube.

It's time for answers, more people are seeing these across the states, but no one can make an official announcement? My advice, do your own research & make those photos & videos & load them up on youtube. Remember, watch low in the sky from the west & south to north at dusk & when the stars start coming out.

My daughter and I were sitting at the traffic light at Cox Creek Pkwy and Florence Blvd. facing S.W.?

A large white light streaked across the sky in front of us, low to the horizon as if it came from behind us. It was like a dash space dash space dash. Then it was gone.

We have never seen anything like it. It moved extremely fast like a shooting star, but was not steadily lit like one. It reminded us of a missle being shot from a fighter jet.

The strange part was how it disappeared at exact intervals almost like a sewing machine stitch.

Looked a bright light that was moving in zig-zag and circular motions.

We were outside sitting in my driveway looking at the stars and we all looked up and saw a very bright, almost flashing, light.

It was there for about 10 minutes and then we looked away for about 2 minutes and when we looked back it was completely gone.

Just a couple of minutes ago we looked and it was back and then gone again.

Metallic egg or disc shaped UFO stationary at cloud height.

On June 2, around noon, a shiny metallic object was just sitting in the sky (ZIP 08518).

It made no sound and did not move at all the entire time I watched.

I took 5 photos and two videos of the object. The photos show an unusual type of energy on both sides of the object in white, green and red radiating like bright light.

Several bright lights startionary in the sky, turned and flew east away from hovering spot, then blinked out.

Driving on 75 norths exit to 275 east, my wife and I notice 4 bright lights in the sky which appeared to be hovering, not moving in any direction, but facing due south.

I slowed the car to almost a stop to watch as the lights turned east and starting moving in that direction, then just blinked out after it started to move. It was fairly low and I rolled down the window to listen for engine noise, helicopter sounds ect. And heard nothing. Only my own tires on the road.

It did seem as if the lights had exchanged places a few times through out the viewing.

We were thinking it was a military craft, either way thought it worthy of reporting.

A star that "blinked out".

Around 10:00 p.m. Saturday night after company left, I was cleaning up on the deck.

I looked up and there was a star that was a bit brighter than the others and thought I don't remember seeing it there before. It was there for a good minute or so and did not have the "twinkle" as a normal star would and was not a planet.

I just watched it and it then "went out" as if a person would turn off a light. I waited for more, but nothing. There was no trail as if a meteor. This has happened before with my daughter. This time I saw it....it was as if it knew I was watching it.

A red, yet transparent object with two orbiting lights moving very low to the ground without making a sound.

My partner and our friend were on the back deck tonight when I noticed something out the corner of my eye. When we turned to look, we saw a red, transparent object floating horizontally through the sky. It was spherical in shape and it had two bright red, shield-like objects orbiting around it. It was hard to gauge its distance from us but it appeared to be within 200 yards from where we were sitting. The object was very low in the sky and seemed to be just above the tree line. We watched it move for about a minute until it was out of our line of sight.

We felt entranced while watching it move and we were unable to say anything until it had gone. That may sound strange but prior to sighting the object my phone had frozen up. I'm an avid stargazer and I've ruled out any possibility of it being a plane or helicopter. The main reason for ruling out common air traffic is that there was no sound. We can all recall hearing crickets while the sphere passed by. The local radio station ran a story that many people reported seeing a "fireball" in the sky tonight, but those reports came in around 6:45pm when we saw the object closer to 10pm. I've never witnessed anything like this before.

Circular, rustic looking craft over Florence, Kentucky.

While sitting in the driveway and watching the sky around midnight, my daughter looked Northwest and asked me in a startled tone of voice "What is that!!!!". Pointing upward was shadow like movement as if a falling star or meteor was approaching, however, there was no trail, no lights, no brightness, no sound.

It was moving below the clouds and was a rustic color craft. If one was not looking, it would have been missed. It was traveling at a speed that was faster than an aircraft, but slower than a meteor. It was round and no lights, nor any type of metallic to it, but it was definitely a craft of some sort.

It progressed over our house and was on a direct course to the southeast. As it was beyond our vision, it entered into some light pollution from the shopping mall nearby and it changed into a triangle like form and then disappeared. It was very strange and only lasted a minute if that. I have never seen anything like it before, very strange as if it was trying to maneuver quickly without drawing attention.

Several bright lights above Florence, KY all moving in a uniform manner, circling the area.

Witnessed several large bright lights above the highway on I-75 South towards Florence, KY.

All moved in a uniform manner and were much larger than any other light in the area.

Was absolutely in no way, shape, or form an airplane.

Lights continued to move about the area until dissipating above.

Lights in the sky

My husband , our friend, an I were sitting on our front porch. It was a heavy overcast. I thought my eyes were playing tricks when I saw all of these flashing lights in sky. The overcast was very heavy so I knew it was not stars. Plus, the lights were moving very fast in multiple directions.

I told my husband and friend, and we all walked to the rode to see it. They were very faint, but the little lights would zip across the sky. As we watched three jets flew over followed by 2 helecoptors. We called my neighbor to come witness it. They saw the exact same thing. As of right this minute, they are still bouncing around. They were on both sides of the sky in our viewing area. Sometimes, the lights would be a little brighter and then quickly zoom off in another direction. I cannot tell you exactly how many there were, but it was a lot and because they were in various areas it could have been the same crafts.

3 pulsating red lights crossing the valley.

My girlfriend & I were driving back home from dinner and seen 3 lights in the sky. I was driving and could not keep my eyes off of them because they were so strange.

At first I just seen one and figured it was a plane, but I then noticed two other lights. They were red and pulsing. The formation was a straight line evenly spaced, heading east.

Eventually one was closer to the other. I was not directly under the lights but if I had to guess it looked like it might of been a triangle from underneath.

I watched them move slowly over the hills to the east. I'm certain it wasn't an airplane, the lights were way too far apart. And I don't think there would be 3 airplanes following one another. I'm certain it was a UFO, all one craft. It took probably a few minutes for it to pass the valley.

Was outside with my dog. Looked up to view the stars. Noticed something that looked like a dimly lit star moving southeast at a fairly fast pace. It was white and did not blink or make a sound.

I would have thought it was a jet. However, it moved faster than what a normal jet would travel. Also, there were no blinking or colored lights. If it moved any faster, I might have thought it was meteor.

It was 5:45am I looked up towards the west. There was only one star in the sky just above the tree line. It was very bright and twinkled or appeared to change shape. It seemed to range from bright white to yellow. I just thought it was a really bright star, but I kept watching it...and it disappeared.

Two bright orange lights at the Oregon coast

We were camping at the Oregon coast just south of Florence then we saw a bright orange light moving along the coast line from south to north. At first we thought that it might be a plane, but then the light turned 45 degrees and started heading into the ocean.

What amazed me, that the light stayed very bright even though it was at least 20 miles from the coast. Just as soon as the light disappeared, there was a second light that looked exactly the same and followed the same path.

Two nearly invisible crafts spotted in Florence, South Carolina, before massive power outage

In the evening of February 26th 2013 two objects where seen and photographed hovering over the Walmart Supercenter parking lot on Beltline Drive in Florence. They were almost impossible to see with the naked eye but showed bright and clear in the photos taken by a member of the store's management team.

They appeared near the end of a severe thunderstorm. They were there for approximately one minute or so before vanishing. Their disappearance only documented by their absence in the last picture that was taken because, as was previously stated, they were almost entirely invisible to the naked eye. In the photos you can very clearly see a row of "lights" possibly and energy source along the bottom of the craft and one single "light" at the upper most point of the top of the craft. I say "light" in quotes only because I assume if it were an actual light them people would have been able to see its luminescence with their own eyes wit! hout having to use a camera to see it. So it may have just appeared as lights in the photos and not actually been lights.

Immediately after their disappearance the entire area suffered a huge power outage which knocked the power out for nearly 14,000 surrounding residents and businesses (Walmart being one of them). The power outage was even reported on and was so odd and massive that it was written about online so you can look it up.

This is no joke. Those involved are afraid to say anything because we don't want anyone to think we're insane.

It was a clear day with no clouds. Around 5pm I noticed from my yard five bright circular lights. They were in a formation like an arrow. Three made a triangle and two directly following the triangle. They moved back and forth slightly.

They remained in the same place without moving forward for a few minutes. No sounds were noted.

The formation broke off and they disappeared behind the trees. I took some pictures. I was only able to capture three of the lights. They were breaking formation by the time I got my camera and was able to focus on them.

They looked like stars or round balls of white light.

two bright lights seen while driving

We were driving between Wallace and Florence heading south on Highway 20 In South Dakota at about 2:07, when we both saw a very very bright bluish green blob of light go diagonally downwards towards earth, and ground. The only problem we have is how far away it was, as it was slightly foggy.

One says it was about 30 yards in front of us, and heading directly into a field near us, and another says that it was more up in the sky, like closer up with the stars and heading somewhere off in the distance.

Obviously this is a big difference, and we might even think it was an asteroid or something burning up in the gravity and friction. When we were near Watertown, SD, still on highway 20, I saw another one, but only caught a glimpse of it, and it appeared to be duller, but still the same color was definitely lower than the first, and slower, but more on earth, like not so much in the stars. We have no idea what we saw, but we saw something.
