Strange, large star light the same size as Jupiter that moved gracefully and slowly disappeared into very small red light I was out gazing at Jupiter when in my periphery I noticed another star-like object the same size as Jupiter which shouldn't have been there (abeam and to the left of Jupiter). The object appeared to be slowly moving and was completely silent, and then slowly became smaller and smaller until the white light dimmed to a very small red light and then fizzled out and disappeared. I have never seen anything like it.
I observed it for around 45 seconds until it then became smaller and smaller , turned into a very small, difficult to see, red light and eventually disappeared. That process took about 15 seconds.

When looking at the weather radar a round object was detected. The radar signal showed the clouds changing as if a pebble was tossed into a still pond. The radiating waves from the object caused the radar or the clouds to ripple out in a circle.

Small ball of white light moving very fast across the sky with no sound or contrail On April 13th 2021 at around 10:30 PM I was out on my back porch sky gazing when I saw a small round light moving from the southwest toward the northeast much faster than an airliner say at 33,000 feet. Based on an airliner speed of 400-450 knots at altitude moving across the night sky, I would estimate this object was moving close to 1200 knots. I’ve seen what a satellite looks like moving across the sky, but this object was nearly 4 times the size of what a very small satellite looks like in the sky.
They are very difficult to see. This was very easy to see. I don’t believe it was a satellite.
There was no sound associated with it, no anti-collision lights, nor a contrail and it flew in a straight line northeasterly and dimmed out of view.

Upon waking on September 21, 2019 I opened my live security camera and noticed an anomaly at 7:05. The object was small, round and glowing a golden white. It was roughly the size of a softball.
After failing to identify the object, I pressed record. Upon doing so, the object moved to the opposite side of a vehicle, leaving a "tail" indicative of its flight path across the windshield. It made this maneuver within a single frame.
I'm hoping to find someone capable of estimating the speed of the anomaly using the footage I managed to capture.

My friend and I saw the same orbs of lights from opposite ends of a entire city. At about 7:15-7:20 a friend and I saw what appeared to be an orange/golden orb. When that orb disappeared, three more appeared and formed what could be best described as a "diagonal" shape.
All within a span of 15-20 seconds, before all lights disappeared at the same time. NOTE: My friend and I live on opposite ends of the city and live about 10-15 minutes of each other. I called Moody Air Force base and they told me that it was a plane (we all know that's not true).
I couldn't hear anything coming out of the objects at the time.

Burnt orange sphere lights in Valdostsa/Clyattville. I was driving down white water rd when I spotted a bundle of burnt orange lights over the field at first I didn't pay much attention I assumed it was planes due to the fact they are always in the are. But the closer I got the more I became confused as to what it all together it was about roughly 22 or so lights I was trying to get closer to make out what it was but then it was like some had shut of the light switch and as soon as that happened it was a flash of red.

Possible meteor over Valdosta, Georgia I believe that I saw a meteor crossing through the sky tonight. The object in the sky had a fireball appearance with a tail that looked like a Fourth of July sparkler! It was completely amazing! I am still in shock! The object flying across the sky was only in my view for approximately 10 seconds but it was truly amazing! ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Green meteor crashes into valdosta I was driving on the highway, after leaving the theme park, when I saw a giant green flame go across the sky and strike around where the university is located. I thought I was seeming a meteor or weapon landing and braced myself for contact tremors, or fire and wind like you see in movies. Nothing happened and I looked around at other vehicles they seem to continue normally.
The next day I saw nor heard anything in the news and to this day I know what I saw, but I'm not sure what I witnessed. ((NUFORC Note: Source of report indicates that the date is approximate. PD)).

Happens every night, round objects that move around. Just about the same area every night as well. I went out last night to have a cigarette.
I was looking up a the sky and saw 2 round objects. They were in circular form, moving around the night sky. One was moving back and forth, the second one only moved a little also back and forth.
I lit my cigarette lighter, waved it back and forth then put the flame out. They seemed to respond to it. They both moved around, one went behind a tree to where I could hardly see it.
This goes on every night just about the same time as well. I have been seeing one every night. But, last night there were 2 of them.
It seems to me they are curious as to what the flame is on my lighter as that's when they start to move around. I have tried using my camcorder to film them but I can't hold the camera still.

Round object with red and white blinking lights. It moves around a little bit in the sky. There is no noise coming from it.
I have been seeing this object in the night sky for about a month now. I stand in my back yard and look up in between the trees. I see a round object that moves and flashes red and white lights.
It also stays in one spot for a few minutes. I had my flash light with me one night and moved it back and forth in the air. The object moved in sink with my flash light.
It stops moving for a few minutes then starts moving again. I haven't seen it for the past few nights but just saw it tonight a few minutes ago while I was out side having a cigarette. It's not a star nor a planet because it moves around with the blinking lights.
It's not an airplane either. But, I have seen airplanes fly by this object. I tried one night last week to get it on video using my camcorder.
I did catch it on video but it's not too clear and my hand was shaking a bit. It appears in the same area of the sky, between two trees in my back yard each time. I'm pretty sure it sees my flash light as it seems to move a little while I shine my flash light at it.
I don't know if it is from Moody AFB as the base isn't all that far away from here. But, it doesn't look like an airplane.

Fast bright fireball that changed directions. We saw a bright illuminating object. It was far away but looked like it was slowly coming toward us.
Then it turned right suddenly. After it turned right it picked up a little speed. After a few more seconds of going that same direction, it very quickly left the atmosphere.
It looked like a house shaped fireball. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

Hovering black ufo with three red lights moved incredibly oddly and disappeared within a second. Several cars were stopped and people were exiting their vehicles looking up. As we came to a stop and looked over we saw a huge black object hovering in the sky.
It had no wings, no sound, no windows. It moved oddly and would appear in a different location in the blink of an eye almost in a zig zag like pattern and then it flew upwards and was gone before I could blink.
Full Report Text:
Constant green light, flying south over Georgia. Me and my sons saw a low flying green light traveling south and appeared to be flying, 300-600 feet. The light was constant (no blinking) and disappeared from view as soon as we reached a clearing in the direction it was traveling.
No sound could be heard, though it was cold and we were traveling with the windows up. Only the light could be seen, so a description of the object is unknown. Our background was a clear and cold night sky with a full moon in the 11:00 position.
