City: Fort Collins
Region: Colorado
Country: US
Shape: Sphere
Description: My husband, my son, and I were driving home up the street by our house in Huntington Hills and we saw a large non blinking orange sphere flying towards us at a relatively low altitude...maybe like a small plane. My husband at first thought it might be a helicopter with one of those big lights flying low. But it could not have been a plane or a helicopter. It made no noise at all, had no blinking lights, and flew smoothly through the sky right over our heads.

Region: Texas
Country: US
Shape: Cylinder, Sphere, Triangle, Other
Description: As I was driving over Stillhouse Creek dam near Salado, TX, a glint caught my attention. Directly ahead of me about 20 to 30 degrees above the horizon I noticed several white objects moving toward me at an angle. They were grouped pretty tightly and not in any kind of formation. I started to run through what they could be, jets, birds? Then it got real weird. They disappeared and then reappeared within a second or two.
On the evening of Tuesday the 10th, and on the morning after, the phones at the observatory were ringing busily. People from all over the Okanagan were phoning in with reports of something they saw in the sky. This account is distilled from all those reports, and describes a large fireball, or bolide.
At about 4:30 p.m., an extremely bright, starlike object appeared in the sky over the Northern or Central Okanagan, which was seen from as far south as Okanagan Falls, south of Penticton. Leaving a short, glowing trail, it crossed the sky heading in a westerly direction. Some observers reported that when it was close to the western horizon, it exploded into many fragments. One report came from 100 Mile House, About 80 km north-west of Kamloops, and described loud booms, like thunder. Obviously, something had come into the Earth's atmosphere at very high speed. Friction made it white hot and evaporated part of it, leaving a trail. Finally it exploded.

A brick-sized piece of metal that crashed through a Jersey City, New Jersey roof Tuesday did not come from an airplane, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration says, as wcbstv reports.
Business owner Al Smith was loading a sofa onto a storage platform at his moving company when he heard a bang he thought was a bomb:
A piece of warm metal the size of a brick came crashing through the roof just steps from where he was standing. It splintered a wooden beam and crashed into a shelf.
A woman was driving around suburban Chicago when her Mitsubishi Lancer was gently bumped, though no cars were around. When she pulled over her car was massively dented.
We want to believe, but this story of being magically assaulted by an unidentified source sounds questionable to us. According to the woman:
The entire left side of my car appears to be scorched but no paint was removed.
I was driving 40-45 miles per hour heading north toward I-94 East towards Chicago on Lake Cook Road. While I was in the middle lane, I felt a nudge on the left of my car which made my car shift to the right. I did not swerve out of the lane and gained control back quickly.
I slowed down and as I got my bearings, I realized that my left side mirror was knocked off and so I turned right onto Revere Drive and put on my hazard lights.
I got out of the car and saw that I had several dents on the side of my car. There were two that were deeper and larger than the others; one was located in front of the rear wheel and the other was in the center of the driver door.
I called 911 to file a police report and the officer said that I was side swiped by another car but, there were not any cars around me before or after the hit and also there were no paint scratches from other cars on my car.

Country: US
Shape: Sphere,Star-like
Description: While driving south on Highway 75 between Hwy 370 and Capehart Rd, I happened to glance East and noticed an unusually bright "star" sitting at the 10 o'clock position, approx. 60-70 degrees off the horizon. I have been avid astronomy for over 25 years and know the brightest stars that occupy this area of the sky to be Sirius and Procyon. I'm also fairly certain it was too early for Regulus or Alphard to be that high above the horizon and they aren't as bright. I estimate it was magnitude 0 at the peak. The object caught my attention since I knew there shouldn't be another star that bright in the area. It was also changing brightness levels.

Shape: Boomerang
Description: I noticed two planes flying lower in the sky than usual. The first thing that came to my mind is that planes do not fly that close together or that low. I thought it was military crafts at first because they were moving rather fast. I walked around my building and when I started to look more closely at the objects, I noticed the leading craft was no plane. The craft in the back was a plane because I saw the blinking lights that planes have on them. The craft in front was moving slightly faster. There were 3 lights I could see on it all in a row. As if there were a light on the center and each wing, none on a tail. It was odd as I watched when the craft made a fast sharp turn. I soon lost sight of it.
Today as never before we need to comprehend the course, logic, and path of the process of history. Every day we need to make decisions that will affect future generations. It has become obvious that no single nation, confession, social class or even civilization can solve these problems on its own. We increasingly have to listen to one another: Europe and Asia, Christians and Muslims, White and Black peoples, citizens of modern democratic states and places where traditional society survives. The key is to understand one another correctly, avoid hasty conclusions, and acquire the true spirit of tolerance and respect toward those with different value systems, habits, and norms.
