Ball Of Fire Speeds Up and Disappears Over Spring Hill Florida


Date: August 30, 2010
Time: 8:43 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Spring Hill Florida.
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Fireball/Round.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: My husband and I were sitting on our front porch at 8:43pm last night and a round ball of fire floated in a straight line from the back of our house not too high over our heads. It was about the height and speed a helicopter would fly. There was complete silence. We were the only people outside. He knocked on the window for my 14 year old son who then came out as well.

It flew in a straight line over the street and over the neighbors house, it never went any higher or lower in altitude and it was moving pretty slow. As it got further away, my son who is 14 said it curved sped up and then disappeared. We are not a family of believers in UFO's or aliens so this was pretty shocking.

Online people try to pass these off as Chinese lanterns, but those tend to float or hover and are usually in multiples. This was alone and did not hover or stay still at all. It did not go up or down, just straight. We went inside and 15 minutes later we heard a helicopter.

We went outside and it was flying over our house and circling in the area in which the ball came. This happened 2 more times. They never flew in the direction the ball went as far as I saw. Coincidence? I just don't know.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I was standing outside when I saw what looked like a yellowish star like object moving to the east. It slowed down and made a ninety degree turn to the south. As it moved away, it went from a dull yellowish color to a bright white light and then took off at a incredible speed. I have a pair of 80x100 binoculars and looking threw them, the object looked oval shaped. There was no blinking lights at all, no exhaust or contrail. Thanks.

Two Bright Gold/Reddish Objects Over Dixon Missouri

Date: August 25, 2010
Time: 9:19 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Dixon Missouri USA.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Rectangular.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: My wife and I live several miles away from any type of bright lights (city). We enjoy star gazing and have been watching the ISS satellite pass over for about a year. On August the 25th we watched the 8:29 pass as expected SSW-ENE. We went inside to watch some TV, then went outside to smoke. About 9:18 we saw a pinnacle of light moving from northeast towards the southwest. At first we thought it was the ISS coming back for it's second pass for the night, but the timing wasn't right.

The ISS wasn't due until 10:06 (which we did view right on time and location). What I saw was two bright gold/reddish objects, maybe connected moving in unison with each other in a straight line directly overhead northeast to southwest at a high rate of speed.

Around 4 minutes from horizon to horizon. The object had the look of an orbital object, same type of steady fluid flow. No sound, no flashing lights, no directional navigation colored lights.
The only explanation I could think up at the time was that it was the space lab and what I was seeing was the huge solar panels, but why wouldn't it look like it did about 45 minutes ago?

Why wasn't this sighting listed on NASA's site for human space flight sightings? We do live 125 miles from Whitman Air Force Base, I was in the airforce and I worked maintenance on tankers and understand the refueling procedures fairly well. I don't believe this was a refueling operation, but I don't have any other explanation for what we saw. Please, help us figure it out.

Huge Bright Yellow Planet Sized UFO Observed Over Longview Washington


Date: August 28, 2010
Time: Approx: 5:15 a.m.

Hello Brian, I am writing to you about something which I saw several days ago. I started this email right after it happened and saved the outline as a draft until I had
time to finish it today.

I have no idea what I saw, it just wasn't normal. At around 5:15 AM PDT in Longview WA USA on August 28th 2010 I noticed what I thought was an exceedingly large bright yellow planet in the NNW about 2/3 up in the sky above the horizon. It was approximately 10 times the size of recently visible planets, and seemed odd as there were no other planet sightings predicted. As I watched, it appeared to grow, then I realized that it was really a large yellow ball of light which was traveling towards me headed SSE.

It traveled a bit faster than an airliner, and when it got about 1/3 of the way towards me, the ball of light first dimmed and got smaller by half, then went out altogether, leaving visible a set of large colored lights in a diamond pattern. The lights were green and red, 2 of each, with one intermittently flashing red light, slightly off center, and I have never seen lights that large or in that pattern on any aircraft.

I watched this go past and head across the sky, and when the lights reached a point about 2/3 up from the horizon in the SSE I turned around to tend to my dogs, and when I looked back they had disappeared. Sorry that I can't be more exact as to the coordinates.

I found it interesting. A friend tells me that I should have gone inside. Kindest regards.

Date: August 27, 2010
Time: 9:00 p.m.

Hello, three times my boyfriend has seen the exact same thing including most recent sighting was on Friday at exactly 9:00 pm. There were 3 witnesses as we sat on the porch in Dalton, PA. It was flying very low in the sky, maybe 5,000 feet. There was no noise so it was not a plane! It was flying in a North east direction. Very interesting!

24 Unknown Large Red Lights Over Brimfield Ohio

Date: August 28, 2010
Time: 9:30 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Brimfield, Ohio.
Number of witnesses: 11
Number of Objects: 24
Shape of Objects: Unsure of shape, but big bright red lights.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: At approximately 9:30pm on Saturday August 28th 2010 a group of eleven of us were having a get together in the back yard. The sky was so clear a tons of stars could be seen. My brother noticed just above the tree line about 200 yards away three bright red objects moving across the sky in some type of formation, and yelled for us to come look at them.

They were silent as the glided across the sky as far as we could see and as they moved across the sky, they suddenly raised into the sky upward unlike any planes we seen. Then three more appeared from the same location above the tree line in the same formation, almost triangle like moving faster as if they were trying to catch up with the first three as they did rapidly get closer. They all branched into different directions and seem to suddenly vanish into the atmosphere.

More came not in formation about six in cluster and moved fast raising so high so suddenly until they just seemed to vanish into the atmosphere. We were all in a state of awe just counting and watching. We heard a police siren and thought what is going on. Then more appeared in groups of two but now spread out as if they were trying to catch up and more so many moving across the sky. We counted 24 of them the 15 minutes that we watched.

They all raised rapidly once they got so high they just went different directions then seemed to just vanish into the atmosphere like rockets going up. Exactly like that, just gone. We were all just shock as we watched. A total of 24. They were to bright red to be normal planes, and moved so rapidly upward they glided across the sky along period the just up and gone. It was not cloudy so clear. Some of us recorded on our cell phones, mine is not easy to view.

We have no clue what they were and have Googled all morning to see if anybody else seen this. They had to have, considering Ste Rte 43 and I76 is right there. But we have seen nothing in the paper today (the day after) nothing on the news and nothing with Google or YouTube. We are still amazed this morning. What were they?

4 Orange Lights Over Rifle River State Park Michigan


Date: August 25, 2010
Time: Approx: 11:00 p.m.

Brian, my wife and I have witnessed the same lights of which you have spoken. We we're camping at Rifle River state park. At the time of the sighting (enjoying the Waning moon) approximately 11:00 pm August the 25. We were sitting on the picnic table looking south east over Grouse Haven Lake when we seen 4 orange lights, light up in a line, one at a time. They then blinked out. To light up again to the right slightly to blink out again. Very Strange.

Unmanned Balloon/Chinese Lanterns Over San Bernardino California


August 24 and 28th, 2010
Time: 11:30 p.m. and 3:00 a.m.

Mr. Vike, I found your site after a Google search for fire, sky, San Bernardino. I saw the same exact thing a witness described, first on Tuesday, August 24 and then again early this morning at approximately 03:10am.

On the 24th, at approximately 23:30, my wife and I saw a slowly moving orange glowing object approach us from what I think was just above Verdemont Heights. Again, it was very slow moving and didn't follow any sort of trajectory. It was very erratic in it's movements, event varying in elevation. We thought it might have been a hot air balloon or something. It eventually drifted over head and began to drop altitude all while what appeared to be sparks or flames falling off the object. It came over little mountain before eventually going up in a ball of flame.

Then again last night, I woke up and went out for a cigarette around 03:00 and saw not one, but now two of the exact same object. One appeared to hover and the other drifted towards our house in the arrowhead farms development. The object that came my direction was much lower then the last time I spotted it. This time I could make out that it was a small unmanned balloon (paper, nylon, etc) of some sort with a flame source - which I assume, from the size of it, was similar to one of those heaters used in a chafing dish.

Anyhow, we found it very interesting and were wondering if there was a purpose to it or just someone having fun. Thanks for posting!

Glowing Orange Objects Over Omaha Nebraska


Date: August 28, 2010
Time: 11:08 p.m.

Four of us spotted what appeared to be a strange orange object in the sky, moving to the north at a speed much faster than an airplane. It looked almost like a meteor, but was not losing altitude, and disappeared over the horizon. The first one was spotted at 11:08 CDT. About five minutes later there was a second similar object also moving to the north. The second one appeared to be further to the west. I did a Google search to see if there were any reported sightings and came across your article from July 5th.

Large Cylinder UFO Hovering Near Arvest Ball Park NW Arkansas

Date: August 26, 2010
Time: Mid-morning.

Yesterday, August 26, 2010, my husband and a friend saw a very large cylinder object hovering around Arvest Ball Park. Maybe 300 - 400 feet in the air. At first they thought it was a plane, but it wasn’t moving and had no wings. It was not flat and big like a blimp. It was silver with a white area.

This was mid-morning. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky. It disappeared seconds later as they tried to look closer. My husband was in the air force and he said it was not a plane. Have there been any other sightings?

They don't want people to think they are crazy. They are still talking about it today.

Thank you.

Another Witness For The Orange To Yellow Object Over Iowa City Iowa (Diagram)



Date: August 26, 2010
Time: Approx: 9:35 p.m.

Yes, I saw this object while leaving my mother's residence at about this time on this date.

See the attached (crude) drawing based on my recollection.

I saw an orange light or orange circular object, traveling roughly from south to north in the northeast sky, on a course that was very regular and smooth, at a speed that would be consistent with a satellite.

The diameter of the orange object was 2-3 diameters larger than Jupiter, which was also visible. There were no associated twinkling lights of any other color.



There was no "trail" or sound associated with it. I have seen many satellites at night in the sky, and I know the difference between a satellite and a airplane. This caught my eye because it was not clearly one or the other.

A guy who was walking his dog at the time (at about the intersection of Mormon Treck Avenue and Walden Road) also stopped to look at it, so it was clearly something unusual.

I could not track it all the way across the sky. In other words, I did not see it from horizon to horizon. I lost it (or it "disappeared") while it was still high in the sky.

My guess is that this was some sort of atmospheric lensing of a bright satellite.

If anyone has witnessed the UFO/Object, please send me an email with details of what you saw. Please remember to include the date and time and location. (Town/City – State or Province) and as much detail as possible.

UFO Returned From Where It Came From Over Paducah Kentucky


Date: May/June/August 2010
Time: Evening.

Hello, I just want to confirm that I have seen the orange UFO in the sky the last Monday of May 2010 and exactly 1 week later the first Monday of June 2010 in Hollister, MO. At first I wondered if it was a balloon, but it seemed to move faster than I've seen them move before.

Also, I thought it may be a meteorite, but when I saw it exactly 1 week later coming from the same direction heading towards the same direction, it really made me think it could be something more. Hope my sighting helps. I have not seen it since, but I rarely am home on Monday nights anymore. I also sighted another UFO last night on my road trip back from Nashville, TN. I noticed a flashing light when we were heading down hwy 60, west in Paducah, KY.

At first I thought it was a plane or satellite, but it wasn't staying on a set path and it took at 180 and headed back where it came from. I've actually seen a few more sightings throughout my life. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Orange To Yellow Object Over Iowa City Iowa


Date: August 26, 2010
Time: Approx: 9:35 p.m.

I came across your website while searching for information about the following:

While running tonight, I observed an object in the night sky, which tracked from southeast to northeast, while reaching a maximum apparent altitude of 30 to 40 degrees towards the east from my location in Iowa City, IA. The apparent speed was comparable to that of a jetliner at cruse altitude or of a satellite. The trajectory appeared to be more like that of a satellite. The time was about 9:35 PM CDT, 08/26/10. It was about as bright as Jupiter (the bright “star” under the Moon tonight).

This object was different from either an aircraft or orbiting satellite (I see both of those all of the time and know what they look like) in that it was flickering like a flame, with an orange to yellow color. It disappeared about 15 degrees above northeast. There was neither a trail nor noise associated with it. I’m sure there must be a simple explanation.

Red Lights Over North Vernon Indiana

Date: August 19, 2010
Time: Approx: 10:00 p.m.

I had caught a glimpse of the one red light as it went off and the other lit up. I live in North Vernon which is probably 15 miles west of Milan. I was walking and before I could get to a better vantage point the lights were gone. East of North Vernon is a urban warfare training site of the US Army I believe. I am not sure if it was some kind of flare activity. I could see, which I assume were fighter jets circling the area which is very common in that eastern area.

The Jefferson proving ground has a strafe range and maybe flares were marking the range. I've never seen bright red flares before, so I thought it was very unusual, but possibly marking the range for fighters. I was awed by the lights at first, since north of that area recently was a huge triangle sighting reported in Decatur County which is north east of North Vernon.

Military Serviceman Films UFO Over Camp Pendleton (Pictures)


Date: August 19, 2010
Time: Approx: 8:30 p.m.

Here is the picture that I took from my iPhone. There were several witnesses in my base housing area that saw it.

At first there were 3 lights forming a triangle. Then one of the lights (the one in the bottom right corner disappeared.

I was able to snap this photo before it finally disappeared entirely. It happened on August 19, 2010 at approximately 8:30 p.m.


After the sighting I called PMO and the Sgt on duty said that they've received numerous phone calls about the strange lights and that it was the Game Warden using a spotlight. 

Included is the original photo and I went on my iMac and zoomed in and tried to change the exposure to see the object better.

Not sure if you guys can professionally clean up and zoom in on the photo, but you can see an outline of a triangular craft.

If you have any other questions regarding the UFO sighting please feel free to contact me via email or call my cell phone at (number removed). Please update me on any information you guys.
might have.

If anyone has witnessed the Lights/Objects, please send me an email with details of what you saw. Please remember to include the date and time and location. (Town/City – State or Province) and as much detail as possible.

Hovering Ball Of Flames Over Pataskala Ohio

Date: July 31, 2010
Time: 9:08 p.m.

Several neighbors and I witness a ball of flames that hovered in the sky over Pataskala. The object position didn't move for more than 6 minutes. Even though it was several thousand feet in the air, you could tell it was an intense fire burning. After 6 minutes the light faded and the object moved quickly East bound.

I saw an earlier post dated on July 23rd of the same thing in the same area. I guess it could be a Chinese Lantern, but why would it stay stationary for over 6 minutes when there was a slight breeze?

UFO Above Military Helicopter Over Satsuma Alabama

Date: August 6, 2010
Time: 8:50 p.m..

Brian, how have you been? Good I hope. I have been meaning to drop you an email in reference to the large amount of red-orange objects spotted lately. What is up with that? I noticed that the reports at the beginning of July. I also noted the same on the NUFORC. Quite strange indeed. I don't care for reddish orange spheres of light. They give me a bad feeling....lol.

I didn't take note of the date, but several weeks ago I woke early (around 3:55am) and stepped outside to have a smoke. While standing there I looked to the east and saw a white light moving south to north about prop plane speed. It was just above the tree line in my back yard (low angle).

It looked to be several miles away and made no sound. It had no red/green wingtip markers or a strobe. I watched it for about 4 seconds then it faded out. I watched for another 10 minutes, but did not see it again.

Tonight my son phoned me from Dallas and I stepped outside to escape the noise in the house (TV). As I stood there talking, the sound of rotor blades could be heard in the distance. It was one of the loud military helicopters that pass over from time to time and it's flight path took it almost directly over me at 500 feet.

As it passed by i noticed a small green light directly above the helicopter (about 100 feet above it). The helicopter was running with it's spotlight on pointing down at a 45 degree angle.

The object above it had a green light on the side and a small white light on its rear. This object had no strobe of any kind which is a violation of FAA rules. What it was, I can't say. This happened at 8:50 pm tonight (8-6-2010). The helicopter/object traveled from NE to SW.

Orange Objects Over South Sioux City Nebraska

Date: August 13, 2010
Time: Approx: 11:00 p.m.

Hello, my name is (name removed) and I've recently witnesses something I cannot explain.

On August 13th at around 11:00pm a friend and I were standing outside (South Sioux City, Nebraska). It was obviously dark with some clouds high in the night sky. I first seen what can best described as an orange orb slowly moving from north to south (from my vantage point it was to the west of my location). It was orange, but brighter at the top and noticeably darker at the bottom (as if the exterior was partly transparent and a smaller darker orb was inside resting at the bottom). Soon it passed behind a building out of my line of sight.

Then, about 10 seconds later I seen two more of these orbs moving at the exact same speed and in the same direction as the first. These two orbs stayed at a fixed distance form each other and traveling on a perfect parallel course.

I hesitated to tell someone about this but after finding more and more information about these objects on the internet I feel its my responsibility to be heard.

If you or any of your colleagues have any questions feel free to email me back.

Thank you.

Seven Orange Colored Objects Over Long Beach California

Date: August 18, 2010
Time: Evening.

Hey, I just Googled and found your email address. I just wanted to let you know what happened last night. My wife and I were driving in Long Beach CA. We spotted about 7 lights in the distance. She said what's that? I just said that they were planes lining up to land.

As they got closer, we realized they weren't planes, but orange lights moving across the sky. The sky, not space.

They were moving fairly slow and they went right over our car. Pretty high up, but you know over the top of where we were. I thought they were jets or something, but there was no sound. At this point they started to flicker and go out. We were following them and as one went out we could still see the silhouette of it moving. It was a kite shaped object which was odd. What was even weirder - if that's a word, was that the object wasn't spinning or anything, the kite shape was moving straight.

They all went across the sky taking a good minute to get across and then one by one went out. It was a really weird moment. I couldn't sleep properly wondering what the hell just happened.

The weird thing was that it seems no one else in the area saw anything. Arrrgg!

I've heard stories about shapes and objects seen in the sky, but never thought I'd see anything. It was really cool to witness if it was a meteor shower. I know there's been a lot of talk this week about meteors. The only thing is that why were they in our sky and not in space? Maybe they were in space? They were moving in a perfect straight line which is odd. I meteors are moving surely there would be difference in the line they take?

For them all to be moving in an exact straight line is unreal.

Why would they be kite shaped and when I saw the silhouette it wasn't spinning it was moving like a jet would. That was weird. There was no sound either.

I'm a man with a wife and a dog. I don't want to start thinking there's something else out there at this point of my life! But this sighting might just prove me wrong! It was so weird.

Any feedback or video footage of similar things would be cool.

Thanks. Hope this info helps.

Strange Lights Spotted Over Qualicum Beach

Published: August 19, 2010 7:00 PM

While many eyes were turned towards the heavens last week to watch the annual Perseid meteor shower, at least two sets of those eyes in Qualicum Beach saw more than they bargained for.

Brian Vike, a Houston, B.C. resident who heads up Sightings.com, a UFO network, said he received a report of something even more unusual than meteors on Aug. 14.

The time was 10 p.m. as the two residents, whose names Vike would not release, said they were watching the meteor shower when they saw two strange lights in the eastern sky.

Shape of Objects: Glowing orange ball.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: On July 4, 2010 an object appeared in the sky on a very dark, clear, and still night. It stood out because of it's bright orange glow. It appeared in the S/SW sky at approximately 30 degrees above the horizon. It was moving quickly, in a straight path from S/SW to N/NE.

Our neighborhood is located approximately 10 miles south of Greater Pittsburgh International Airport, where commercial aircraft traffic is commonly seen. However, this was not a commercial or small aircraft. This object flew directly overhead and a group of 3 people witnessed the object with naked eyes. It appeared to have no wingspan, nor did it make any noise. It had no other lights. It looked like a bright glowing orange hot air balloon, but it was moving much too quickly to be a hot air balloon.

There was not a discernable wind speed that night to have propelled a hot air balloon to that speed. The first object appeared and our group noticed it, watched it travel overhead for (what I would estimate) less than 45 seconds then it disappeared as quickly as it appeared, but seem to vanish and not speed off purposefully. Then within a few minutes another object (or the same object?) appeared at the exact same spot in the S/SW sky and followed the same flight path, etc.

Moving directly overhead again. We scrambled for binoculars, video cameras etc. thinking that perhaps it was the ISS traveling in an elliptical pattern and we would see it again in another few minutes. But, nothing else happened after that final second sighting the object did not return for a third pass-over. With all of my rational being, I know that this object was not a commercial or small aircraft, it was not a firework, or reflection, or hot air balloon. After doing some research about the locations of ISS sightings from NASA's website I believe that we were not it the flight path of the ISS on! that night. I just don't know what it was.

Triangular UFO Over Maxwell Road Maple Valley Washington

Date: August 10, 2010
Time: 11:30 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Maxwell Road Maple Valley Washington.
Number of witnesses: 6 (including me)
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Triangular.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I have lived in Maple Valley all my life, I am 18 years old, and I have seen about 10+ sightings. Last night was my scariest, and longest encounter however, lasting about 15 minutes.

Me and 5 other friends, who could all tell you the same story, were out on Maxwell road where there is no light pollution and we were watching the meteor shower when we spotted a "star" that was brighter than any other star in the entire sky.

It began to jump erratically just like all of my other sightings and then I realized what I was seeing again. Then it began to rise over the mountain and change color from a white phosphorus color to a green. The shape of the light became triangular.

It then began moving over the mountains closer towards us as the light became brighter. As we were watching the valley every time the light of the UFO would pulse, a circular light would light up areas of about 25 feet in diameter. This circular light on the ground would only last a quarter second.

It mostly hovered and jumped around like an excited gas molecule, but it occasionally would move across the sky faster than any plane down and up, left and right, but it stayed in a general location. As the light spots got closer we ran to our cars and left. We saw the craft later that night, though it was a blue orb the next time we saw it, or possibly another craft.

I would love to get some feedback on what the heck this is. I've dealt with seeing these all my life and people think I'm crazy, or on drugs when I explain and don't give me the time of day.

Triangular Object With Orange Glow Seen Over Avon Indiana

Date: July 4th and 5th, 2010
Time: Approx: 9:00 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Avon, Indiana.
Number of witnesses: Two other witnesses that I know of.
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Triangular.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: Glowed orange in a pulsating fashion. When not glowing orange it had no color. I saw underneath the object and it had a circle with a triangle of golden arcs or electrodes that almost resembled bright yellowish-white fluorescent lamps.

It was silent and as it went further away it suddenly vanished. At each point of the triangular body it had white lights. I estimate that it was approximately at 2,000 feet altitude. On July 5th, it was at a different altitude and west of Avon, Indiana, but it then vanished again suddenly.

Orange Lights Over Longcommon Parkway In Elgin's Providence Subdivision Illinois


Date: August 14, 2010
Time: Approx: 9:30 p.m.

Saturday night (August 14, 2010) about 9:30 or so, my son and I were on my driveway on Longcommon Parkway in Elgin's Providence subdivision when I spotted an orange light in the sky traveling from the southwest, and moving northeast. As the first one faded out, a second one came into view, then it faded, and another one behind it.

 He thought it looked like fire as if someone was flying a hot air balloon. I didn't think so as flying hot air balloons at night would be suicidal. Maybe there was more of them and we only caught the last 3? It did appear to be flickering like a flame though, He took some pictures with his phone camera. Any speculation as to what we may have seen? Thanks.

Found this website, this may explain what it was we saw. http://www.nightskylanterns.co.uk/products/sky-lanterns/white-traditional-sky-lanterns/

Triangular UFO Witnessed Over Coshocton Ohio


Date: August 12, 2010
Time: Approx: 11:00 p.m.

Hi Brian, I've been looking for info about the "aircraft" that I witnessed Thursday night here in Coshocton, Ohio. It was about 11:00pm and I thought it was a midi chopper at first. It was the strangest thing I've ever seen in the sky. Incidentally, it was the same night as the Perseid, and a meteorite just happened to fly right in front of it.

This thing looked as though it was on fire and it was coming overhead toward me for approximately thirty seconds. Then it hovered around and bobbed for a couple seconds until it changed directions and headed away towards the west. The light faded until it went out, then I could see a silhouette of a triangle. There was no arc when it turned, like you would see in a normal aircraft. Very strange! I was glad to see the website, because I thought I was the only one who saw it.
