UFOs spotted over 10 states during July 4th celebrations

MI, July 4, 2009 - Red Glow of Constant Color on Bottom of flat black angular unknown craft Just Under Clowds Passing Just under the Moon witnessed by mechanical engineering logistics specialist peace officer

The three of us were at a Private Island (Located minutes from the end of Anchor Bay Drive Clay Mi) for a Event Gathering of under 100 people.Red Glow of Constant Color on Bottom of flat black angular UFO Just Under Clowds Passing Just under the Moon (distance under moon was the size of the moon) witnessed by mechanical engineering, logistics specialist, peace officer.

Seen on 07/04/2009 22:24 for 4 min 19 secs. If the moon were 12:00 the Red Object came out of the horizon at 07:30 then increased altitude steadily with the same speed and Heading of direction (Reason Im not saying North South East or West Is I was not familiar with the surroundings).

At first glance thought to be Red coast guard helicopter, but as It passed under the moon we could see It was creating Its own Red light. The Red light was under the flat black angular UFO.

The best description of the red glow like looking at Red Glowing Moliton Steel.The reason I use the tearm angular Is,I cant explaine the shape of It. Ive tried to sketch a drawing but I just cant seem to get It exact.

I know what It Is not. It was not the International space station because It was on ground side of the Clowds. It was not a Jet,Helicopter,Blimp,Small Air Craft because It had no Tracker Beacon or vapor disturbance. It was not a hot air balloon because It was too fast and Entering proximity of no fly zone of Selfridge Air National Guard Base.

We lost sight of the UFO because of the Buildings and tree line elevation. This was Real It was Unknown and It was In the Air.The Slang Military/Airman tearm for this is "Rock"=RAUC R=Real A=Airborn U=Unknown C=Craft.

To Describe my feelings I would have to say at first Jumpy/shaky but within a few minutes after fulfillment/Collected. When I got home at 02:44 I could not sleep untill after 06:00 and Only slept for 3 or 4 hours. I will agree to the release of my contact information to third parties only If MUFON Tells me Who and What the third party Is and where there from and If I agree I will.

KS, July 4, 2009 - orange light

In Chanute, Kansas around 11:00 pm on the 4th of July,last night, we had just finished shooting off the last of fireworks and everyone was going inside. I had steped back out on the porch and noticed to the NorthEast a firework display a couple of blocks from our house.

I stood and watched it, after the firework was done I noticed a flaming orange ball come from the same direction.

At first I thought it was a burning ember from the firework but it just keep coming my direction. I walked out into the yard and it was still lite up and coming my way. I really believed it was a burning ember, but the closer it got to me I noticed it looked like an orange fire inside of a clear ball.

It traveled straight past our yard and our house and continued to travel to the south. I watched it for at least 45 seconds continuing on it's course south until I could no longer see it. I went inside and told my husband what I had just seen. He walked out with me and we were looking in the sky, a few minues later he asked me if that was what I had seen and to the East we seen another one off in the distance. I told him yes, that was the color.

We sat in the back yard and continued to watch the sky. Within 20 minutes we seen another two from the North. Every time we would walk toward it to see it better, it would move back to the north.

We had no storms in the area on the 4th. I know I have never seen anything like this in my life. We watched for over an hour and did not see anymore of them. This was no burning ember or firework it stayed lite to long and traveled a very long distance in a straight line, it never went any higher and stayed at the same altitude. When it went by the house it was close enough that I could see a clear ball with an orange fire inside, it made no noise and did not seem like it was very big, but it was diffently bright.

WA, July 4, 2009 - Red/Orange glowing rounded craft flying in the sky to the Southwest and watched by 12 adults

While shooting fireworks at our home, we noticed a light moving slowly in the sky - No Anti Collision lights - Pictures and video were taken and will be added - The event lasted about 3 minutes, and it was not a firework. Two of the adults are ex-military and very familiar with military craft. They both stated that what we were watching was not a plane or helicopter or any other conventional craft.

The object moved slowly, with slow pulsing strobe of bright gold that would light the center of it. It was about three miles away and very beautiful. It seemed that the center was darker than the rest of the ship, and as it traveled, it went from a reddish color to an orange - the object appeared to be lit from inside - Like a frosted glass shade on a lamp.

There were 12 adults, most of us non-drinkers, and we had been watching fireworks in the distance and were alerted by the fact unlike the fireworks that had been going on all around the neighborhood, this object was moving horizontaly, did not explode, made no sound, and made a slow arc towards the West before it got so far away we could not see it.

The flashing and the lack of anticollision lights as well as the shape and color set this craft apart from any of the aircraft we have ever seen. Two of us noticed it at the same time and called out for the others to look and to stop setting off fireworks. We all stood in amazement, confusion, amazement, and fear -A few of us we excited and almost euphoric - Feeling lucky to see it. We all discussed the object as it flew in the sky, ruling out every flying craft we could think of as we watched it. We lost sight of it when it flew out of sight.

The pictures are on a camera that belongs to one of the people that saw this event and will send them to me tomorrow. I will send them to you when I get them.

I will gladly share the names and emails/phone numbers of all who saw this craft as they have all agreed.

OH, July 4, ,2009 - fireball type object moving north west witnessed by a group of people

I was sitting outside at a friend's house waiting for the city fireworks to begin. The location was about half a mile west of a major interstate, in a country setting. There were approximately 20 people outside at the same time at this particular house.

Photo: Witness photo was cropped and enlarged. MUFON image.

Someone pointed an object out in the sky, to the south west of us. At first we thought it was a plane due to the speed it was traveling and where it was located in the sky.(there is a small city airport nearby, and a larger airport in a city northwest of this area) If it had been a large airliner, we should have been able to see details of it, as it wasn't all that high in the sky, but we couldn't.

Almost at once, everyone realized it was quite bright, an orangish color, and looked like it had flames, or some kind of glare shooting out or off of the top, but it also appeared to be glowing.

At first I thought, oh no, this is a plane on fire and I thought it was looking for a place to land or it might crash but then I thought, well, this plane doesn't act like it's in trouble. There wasn't any erratic movements, it just continued flying smoothly. It seemed to be traveling south to north but as it passed by to the west of us, we were still unable to make out any distinguishing features.

At no point did it lose any altitude. We did not have any sun glare in our eyes as it was cloudy/overcast, we just couldn't see anything except the glare/brightness of the object. The object continued to move north and then seemed to turn somewhat west and gain altitude, as it appeared to be stationary in the sky, but was getting smaller. It looked like it was moving up and away from us.

We watched until we could no longer see anything at all. (A second group of people next door appeared to be watching the object as well) I should also mention, that at no time, could we hear any noise during this whole event. I took one picture with my cell phone. Now, I don't know what to think it was. I do believe that there are other life forms we don't know about yet, but did this have anything to do with that? I have no idea.

The attachment was taken with a samsung SCH-u340 phone with a vga-camera. The resolution was 320x240, the white balance was "cloudy", the quality was "fine", the color effects were "normal". If you can open it, and then enlarge it, you will see what looks like a star with a reddish glow coming off the upper left corner. It also appears to have some sort of heat signature emitting from the entire surface, all of the way around it.

CT, July 4, 2009 - Glowing orange lights following CT shore toward the west.

When taking out the trash, I looked up at the night sky and saw 2 orange glowing lights to the southwest barely over Long Island Sound. There was no noise, except for many fireworks, and I thought they were heading south toward Long Island but they were already a good distance away and it was hard to judge their direction as they disappeared behind cloud cover.

Later, neighbors that were at the beach down the street told me that they saw at least 3 lights at one time close together and it seemed there were more scattered around a large area of the sky that were not always visible. They also thought the lights were heading west along the coast.

No one, including myself, thought they were going very fast.

I'm not convinced that it wasn't a group of balloonists, but I can't imagine that many balloonists fly at night. In addition, there seems to be similar reports later the same night to the west in PA.

CA, July 4, 2009 - 5 Red Lights hovering in the Sky over Spring Valley, CA

We were watching the July 4th fireworks and to the east we noticed five, then four, red lights in the sky. They were in sort of a triangle formation. The lights were steady in the sky, not moving. They were red like planets. There were no other colors or blinking lights. They appeared to be at the same level as the stars. They didn't get closer or further away, but disappeared after about twenty minutes.

WA, July 4, 2009 - UFO fly by

My mother and I were sitting on the back patio. Which is secluded because the house sits up on a bluff surrounded by trees. The way the house is situated on the property, as well the location of the property it is statistically improbable this was the result of fireworks. We live by McChord AFB and Ft. Lewis and they had festivities on base so no night flight activities there. Our house is also on the approach to Seatac Airport (South to North)However yesterday they were on the North,South approach. Moon rise had not occurred as of yet either.

Ok, now that I have tried to dispel the usual suspects let's get to the story.

As I was saying. my mother and I were sitting on the back patio when she noticed a red spherical shaped object suddenly appear in the evening sky and move slowly and silently from east to west.

This lasted about 1 minute when all of a sudden it flashed real bright stopped changed from east to west to a southwesterly slight climbing in altitude direction it flashed two more times very quickly not as luminous and just disappeared.

Ok, I am thinking this could have been a meteor skimming across the atmosphere before bouncing off into space. Well I would have been fine and dandy with that explanation, until not even a minute later it reappeared in the same position doing exactly the same motions, except varying speed then coming to a complete stop.

It flashed brightly and then changed direction climbing in altitude and heading due south. It flashed two more times although not as intensely bright then just disappeared. The whole duration lasted five minutes. From 21:59 to 22:04 Pdt. I thought that was pretty fricken awesome, it was what happened afterwards that has me thinking this baby wasn't from anything we manufacture.

Because at 22:06 I saw a low orbiting satellite fly over going from south to north and at 22:08 a second low orbiting satellite flew over heading from west to east. I understand there is a lot of equipment flying around in orbit, and maybe this is just coincidence. But...at 22:16 a low flying aircraft was over the same general area as the UFO not a normal flight pattern and this was a jet. Still coincidental? at 22:26 another jet this one smaller and older because the engines were louder not fighter more like an old 727. Flew over the same general vicinity.

At 22:28 a third aircraft this one a cessna sized aircraft flew around the same general area this time flying in a circle around the general area before moving on. After that the skies were quiet except for the fireworks in the background. The episode ended at 22:38

NY, July 4, 2009 - Hovering flashing red light approximately over Larchmont, NY

We were on the shore of Glenn Cove looking out over the water when I noticed a strange flashing red light in the sky. I have never seen anything that quite resembled it so I told the others to look at it.

We watched it and noticed it flashed in sequences of 2 2 2 2 2 then 1 1 1 1 1 and kept repeating this pattern.

It looked to be over the Larchmont NY area. It moved slowly to the East then back to the West. It did this a few times and at times seemed to be stationary. Then it moved slowly to the west until it was out of view.

We watched it for about 10 minutes. We couldn't tell the size and shape because it was dark outside. In between the flashings of the red light, which was fairly constant, I could make out a dim white light on the craft.
