Two Objects Flashing Lights and Not Moving for Over an Hour Two objects hung in the sky for over an hour, without moving. Each flashed red, white, and blue lights. They looked like airplanes except that they didn't move.
They were pretty far away, and no sound was heard. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).
Full Report Text:
Witness 8 to 9 ball shape objests (fire) hovering in the sky then moves across and disappear.
Full Report Text:
two orange lights one after the other, about same speed as airplanes, looked like it was on fire or Aura exactly, very weird I usually don't believe in UFO's and things like that but that was not manmade, my neighbour saw it too so it's be interesting to know what is it exactly.

Eight orange round shape flying objects over Troy-MI On August 7th, 2012 at about 10:00 PM, I saw about 8 orange round shape objects flying over Troy, MI. Appeared on the east side, approaching toward west side, mid speed, no sound, two of them flied relatively low over me, I couldn’t estimate the distance. They passed me, and since I was driving I couldn’t follow them any longer.
I was a little nervous to stop and look back for them. I took a picture when they were distant, but doesn’t show much, I turned my camera off, I didn’t expected them to come my way, and as they quickly moved, I didn’t have time to set my camera again. Next day, I pass the same street at about 11:00 PM, (Square Lake Rd & Coolidge) I was looking for them again, I saw about 3 of them on my right (South of Square Lake Road) that day I stopped, I wanted to get a video but they didn’t registered very well.
I still have a picture and the video.

Orange orb - Troy MI Saw the orange orb (again). It went right over my house. It looked like the underside was blurry/distorted orange lights that would occur if the lights were moving (or if more like fire).
I had the binoculars handy (from two nights before sighting). With binoculars, I could see there was a short trail behind it. (I had not seen a trail on other nights without binoculars.
) The distance was lower than an airplane, but much higher than the tree line. It moved slower than an airplane. Area - Rochester Road & Square Lake.

Full Report Text:
Orange tinted orbs observed over Troy, MI (along with star-like light to the east) Approx. 9:30 p.m.
(+/-) Noticed two orange tinted orbs. In the distance, to the east, I saw one orb approaching as if it were 1/2 mile away. It proceeded west across the sky from the east, with the path crossing approximately at Square Lake Road.
(It would have crossed Rochester Road as well.) The second orange tinted orb followed the same path about 5 minutes later. Height was approximately at 4 or 5 stories high.
(I viewed them from 2nd story.) Reason I saw the orbs: I was watching the eastern sky due to a brilliant full moon, and very bright skies; spectacular night. However, it was curious: There were a star-like object in the east, about 3 to 4 inches above tree-line to the east; I cannot determine how far away, perhaps a mile or two? (There is no way to determine.
) The object does not seem to have been a plane because it hovered for 3+ hours; I was checking it every half hour. It would move up and down, and over about 3 inches every so often. The two orbs came from the same direction of the star-like object to the east.
I do not believe the objects were Chinese lanterns, which was my first thought. (I saw what I guess were Chinese Lanterns in this same area during early fall of 2011; a few neighbors saw them, too. I observed about 4 or 5 orbs that night; they all following a similar path, and seemed to be moving at wind speed; they passed by about every 10 or 15 minutes.
The neighbors saw 21 of them over a few hours, so we all thought perhaps they were for a birthday celebration--with Chinese Lanterns.) They did look like they could be floating paper bags of some sort, higher than tree level, but not as high as airplane level. At any rate, I explain the Fall 2011 suspected Chinese Lantern event for comparison purposes: The orange-like tinted light orbs of 2/9/2012 did not look the same as the lanterns; they moved faster, were detected much farther away, and had a more intense light.
It was this evening that I googled orange orbs over Troy and discovered this website. Today, I read that others saw the orbs, so I have decided to report the event. (I was trying to dismiss the event somewhat these past few weeks; but the star-like light low in the east was quite intriguing.
