Red Fireball Flickering Light Over Hudson Florida

Date: December 31, 2010

Time: Evening

My name is (name removed). I can be reached, along with one of the other witnesses at (phone number removed). I wish I had observed the time of sighting. We are in Country Club Estates, along U.S. 19 near the Wal-Mart in Hudson/Bayonet Pt. Red/orange flickering light, larger than a pinpoint.

Reminded us of a cigarette 'cherry'. Moved from SE to NW across our view for around 60 seconds. Could not estimate height, but there was no 'under glow' from the numerous lights along the 19 corridor.

No sound. No blinking aircraft lights, no suspending 'balloon', or other structure visible.

Lifetime night sky observer, had a sighting as a child in the 1970s, and have never seen anything I could not identify again until tonight.

We observed it from our backyard (facing southeast), then went out in front of the house, and watched it eventually fade from sight to our northwest. Moved at apparent aircraft speed, although with no altitude information, it is hard to say. It was not floating, we have seen luminaire and balloon suspended lights before. Anyway....Yeah. WOW.

Large Meteor/Fireball Over Fredericksburg Virginia

Date: December 14, 2010

Time: 5:49 a.m.

I was on my way to work on Tuesday, 14 December 2010 at 0549 EST traveling on Route 3 east towards Fredericksburg about 6-7 miles West of Fredericksburg, approximate coordinates 38°18’N 77°37’W, and I saw a bright meteor with a fire trail below and about 10° east of Venus which was at an altitude of 22° and an azimuth of 127°.

The object was probably at an altitude of 10° and an azimuth of 115° when I first saw it and it traveled in an southeasterly direction (going down and to the left from my perspective)

It lasted for 2-3 seconds and was very bright, it was brighter than Venus and also I could almost discern a visible disk with the bright gas/flame trailing by about 2°-3°. I was wondering if anyone else had seen it and came across your website and the report http://unitedstatesufo.blogspot.com/2010/12/yellow-ball-of-lights-fall-from-sky.html

I don’t know if what I saw is related to that report, what I saw was definitely a large meteor/fireball.

Round Orange Fireball Observed From Kevil Kentucky

Date: 2010
Time: Evening.

Hi, my roommate (name removed) emailed you today about an orange ball of light we have been seeing in the sky above Kevil, Kentucky. I don't have specific dates, I work swing shift so all my days run together.

But on at least 4 different occasions while I have been at work, I have seen this round orange fireball like light coming from the northwest, same exact spot at work every time. It flies in from that direction towards the southeast.

Then it just stops. It holds in its position for a few minutes and flies back the direction it came from very very fast. A lot faster than it flew in. I am not the only one at work who has seen this. My boss, 2 of my coworkers, and the plant superintendent has seen it. I live about 5 miles from where I work and have also seen this with my roommate while sitting on the front porch.

It headed towards the same direction, and flew back where it came from. At first I thought maybe it was a satellite or the space center flying by. But I looked up the dates and times of when the space station would be flying by and would watch it. It is by no means the same light I am seeing, plus the space station or satellite keep a direct path and never return to the direction it came in. This orange ball also fly's a whole lot faster when it's leaving than the space station does. Very strange. Glad I'm not the only one seeing it.

Strange Fireball Over Kevil Kentucky

Date: November 9, 2010
Time: Approx: 11:00 p.m.

Hi, my name is (name removed), and I've seen this strange fire ball in the sky over Kevil, Kentucky. It rose in the north and floated around very slowly unlike anything I've seen and returned to where it came from. I see it often and it always does the same thing but sometimes it shoots away to the east. Anyway, just thought I would let you know that you aren't the only one to see it.

Additional Reports:

Sure, I saw it last night, the 9th at about 11:00pm and once in late July around sunset. Its amazing because its unlike anything I’ve seen or studied. My roommate works at the plant here and she sees it often. It always returns to where it came from.

Reddish Orange Fireball Over Yorkville Illinois

Date: October 9, 2010
Time: 10:05 p.m.

October 9, 2010 at 10:05 p.m. Two other friends and myself were sitting outside when all 3 of us spotted a reddish-orange fireball travel across the sky. It traveled a southwest to northeast direction. At first we thought it was a meteor, but it never disappeared like meteors do. There was no sound and there was only one. It looked like what a plane might look like if it were on fire.

It appeared through the trees and went right over the top of us. We watched it until we couldn't see it anymore, probably about 30 seconds. It was very bright but it didn't blink. We have planes fly over all the time heading to O-Hare to land. There were not blinking lights and we can always hear the planes. This was probably about the same elevation as the planes coming in for a landing but it wasn't anything any of us have ever seen.

Shortly afterwards a plane did appear and we could hear it and see the blinking lights. This was round in shape. I would love to know what we saw.
