At around 8:45 tonight, 25 Dec., 2014, I was standing on my back deck looking at the moon in the western sky, when i saw what i thought were three helicopters moving across the sky towards the south. As they got closer I could not hear any sound I called my wife out an she saw them also.
It was three reddish orange looking balls, then all of the sudden they were gone. I was just wondering if any one else may have seen this also and of course what they might have been.

I'm sorry. ((END ADDENDUM)).

Son, wife and I driving down the road shortly after dark. She noticed them first so I pulled over to look too. 3 of what looked to be fireballs traveling directly vertical at a fast pace.
The orientation was if they had launched 3 rockets one right after another. At first I just thought maybe it was a launch from nasal at Wallops Island. However, the launch pad at Wallops launch pad was destroyed a few weeks ago when the rocket exploded.
We watched and tried to video it but you can't really tell anything on the video. After they reached a very high altitude the "fire" went out but we could still kind of see them. Almost as if they had turned white or traveled through the atmosphere.

light expanding and shrinking, hovering and then zipping away. I was outside speaking with a friend and saw a light that appeared to be expanding in size and shrinking, as if zigzagging to-and-fro. It came to a complete stop and then expanded in size again, and zipped off without a trace.
I immediately ran inside to call non-emergency. I came back outside after a few minutes and the light was back in the same spot, only this time it was hovering. And its light appeared to get bigger as it did before and zipped off again.
I was the only one to have witnessed this.

Red dot circling around me on my porch at home. Caught on video a red dot spiraling around. Thought it could be a glare at first, but it kept getting closer.
It wasnt a laser, just a dot that circled around, and i have a video of how clear it looks.

On July 5 at 11:45 p.m., I was with my dogs in the backyard during their potty break because one is scared of fireworks.
I enjoy stargazing & frequently look up while outside at night (my back door faces east) and since the moon is only 1/2 full and low on the horizon, it was dark in the yard & I just used a flashlight. Moving southwest to northeast in a straight line I was surprised to see what appeared to be a bright red rectangular shaped object with a bright white light in the middle. The shape was something like a sport skydiver might use, except this rectangular object was moving lengthwise.
I know it wasn't a helicopter (saw & heard the police chopper flying earlier before & after the fireworks show), it didn't look like a plane and I never heard any sounds. I moved to the front yard to get a longer view of it and saw my neighbor (retired military, worked on helicopters) so I called him over to look at it. He was as surprised and puzzled as I was.
He didn't hear anything and saw the same rectangular shape and colors as it was moving away from us. The object eventually grew dim and disappeared from out sight, the entire episode lasting 1 to 1-1/2 minutes. I checked the ISS schedule, but knew I wouldn't find it listed as flying by.
I've seen the ISS before & this object was larger/lower in the sky and I could make out a shape vs. the ISS's large all white light image.

Fireball in the sky that changed direction While sitting around a fire at Sandbridge Beach we noticed a ball of fire moving in a northward direction. It moved on a flat horizontal plane. At first I thought it was a plane with it’s tail on fire, but we heard no sound.
The object continued moving in a northward direction and then seemed to stop for a moment then turn eastward over the ocean. By this time it was no longer a ball of fire but more of a glowing ember. I had enough time to run in and grab my video camera but by the time I got back on the beach it had started disappearing.

huge 1000ft long saucer accelerated skyward and disappeared during the day, Virginia Beach I was in a clearing on the KOA campsite in Virginia Beach. I turned around and looked up and an object pewter in color, with a compressed dome on top with 3 portal in it . took off silently at an a speed I can only describe as astonishing.
I am a retired military aircraft mechanic and have 20 years working around aircraft, including hi performance aircraft. This object had no seams, it made no noise. It appeared not quite over damn neck base.
And for some reason I thought nothing of it. It had to be the length of an aircraft. It had a feel of a hologram but there was just something that gave it depth of field.
I have knowledge of photography and it was so fast you couldn't have gotten it on camera. It went at an angle of about 70-80 degrees vertical and then veered left toward the atmosphere like the space shuttle I can be contacted at (757) ((number deleted)).

Craft crosses in front of commercial airplane. I was letting my dog out the back slider door, which faces directly West. She went out and I stood there with the door open looking up at the sky, there were a couple commercial airplanes and the only reason I was really watching them was because they were leaving trails behind them, one closer to me than the others.
I was focused on the airplane that was closer, it was headed East toward the ocean, (which I live about 10 miles from) when out of nowhere a grayish flat disk shape craft came from the south and was headed right for the airplane. I thought at first I was going to witness a mid air collision, but the craft crossed right in front of the commercial airplane and after about 2 or 3 seconds of me trying to see what it was, it simply disappeared. There was no trail left by the craft, the commercial airplane kept heading East making a trial behind it.
I looked at the clock and saw that it was 7:12pm, so the event took place about 7:11pm. I am hoping the pilots of this commercial airline makes a report to confirm mine. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.
We have corrected the date above. PD)).

One bright traveling light splits into two in Virginia Beach sky We were driving on the highway where the sky is completely visible with no trees. All the way towards the right, a bright light the size of an meteor and as bright as a planet suddenly appeared. The color was white, like an LED lightbulb.
When I saw it at first I yelled, "Look, a shooting star!" Quickly, I realized it was not a star. Most of the stars were hardly visible from light pollution from the street lights. It didn't flicker or flash like stars, planes or towers.
It seems much closer, bigger, and brighter than any of the stars. After about 1 second, it split into two and one light went up and one went down creating a sideways Y. This was a perfect triangle formation.
In about 1/3 of a second it completely disappeared. When the light divided into two they were equally as bright and big as the original one was. They disappeared in perfect sync, down to the millisecond.
I'd estimate it was about 1/2-1 mile away. During the event, I didn't feel anything other than amazement and awe. The two witnesses were myself and my father.
Neither of us have ever been to interested in UFOs, so it was not like we would be looking for that sort of thing. ((NUFORC Note: We have amended the time of the alleged sighting in order to reflect an evening sighting. We have attempted to contact the source of the report, but have not heard back from him.
PD)).
