Greetings Humans! This was a hard report to get out. Technical difficulties set me a couple of times. Learning how to manually edit the KMZ file code was actually required to repair the broken file. Was frustrating but made me feel very accomplished.
This was a great week filled with a ton of reports. I don't think orange/red fireball orbs will go out of style any time soon but it does look like the dark triangles are slowly making a return. Beware of the Chinese sky lanterns that took over the nation at exactly 12:00 AM on New Year's day...haha, you'll see later in this report. Some evidence of an abduction may have been uncovered. Great week for videos and pictures. Check them out!

Albuquerque, NM

"I went outside at midnight to ring in the New Year. The air was still, with high thin clouds, few stars, and a waxing moon surrounded by a moonbow. Towards the SE, over the airport, near Kirtland Air Force Base, I noted 3 lights, small but appearing as dots, bigger than stars, the lowest 15 degrees, the other 2 about twice as high. All were round, glowing reddish orange. Did not pay much attention at first as I have often seen planes taking off in that direction in the 17 years living at this address, and could not hear anything due to the noise of fireworks and gunfire. The largest dot on the left (N of the others) curved in a path over Albuquerque like many aircraft do when taking off. But I first noticed the color of the light was not like that of a plane and there were no running or blinking lights as it turned. It grew brighter and then to my amazement, rose straight up and disappeared -- not continuing W as aircraft normally do. The 2 others, which had not moved, simultaneously faded out. I've lived in NM virtually my whole life and have seen a lot of weird things in the sky, including high weather balloons glowing after sunset, but never anything that I couldn't explain before now. The entire event only lasted a minute or two, but I spent much more time looking up afterwards in sheer wonder and joy. However, my delight was dashed a week later. Last night, I found a fresh scoop mark on my left shin. It was an eighth of an inch in diameter, and about that far immediately to the left of scars left by several others. No memories of anything odd accompany these marks, but a wound has often appeared there at various times since I was about 8, and it feels like tissue has been removed at least down to the bone. They take a very long time to heal, much longer than other injuries. I'm sure this latest mark was not present when I showered two days previously, and I don't think it was there when I got up for some reason the night before at 3 AM. I have no memory of banging my leg. And as I am on a blood thinner, even the tiniest scratch bleeds a lot. There were no traces of blood on the leg, my sheets, sock, or the thermal underwear I wear during the day this time of year. I have a strong feeling that its reappearance at this time is not coincidental. I have included a rendering of my observation of the sky (based on a daylight picture taken this summer), and also a shot of my shin taken just this morning. Brightness and contrast have been altered on the latter to make the scars of previous scoops stand out more. Hope this helps. Thanks!"Hampstead, MD

"This sighting took place at two separate times during a four hour period and actually began at approximately 9:30PM EST December 31, 2014. It was New years eve 2014, my girlfriend and I were in my back yard enjoying a fire in the fire pit, my mother inside watching TV. We were sitting around the fire just talking when I turned around facing my house and saw several Orange orbs floating across the sky above and to the north of my position. We then noticed that more of these orbs were approaching from the west and moving apparently in single file formation in an easterly direction. I then ran into the house and called my mother out to see as well. We all looked on as each of the eight objects appeared to simply disappear one by one once reaching approximately the same location in the sky. We all discussed what they could have been and couldn't explain any of it. Part Two: Later that same evening at about 1:30AM EST January 1, 2015 my girlfriend and I were getting ready to go in for the night when we saw several more orbs of the same description. Each orb, ten in all, ( 18 total ) was following the same west to east path and disappeared in about the same location in the sky. We got quite a few pictures this time with our cell phones. While we were taking pictures my girlfriends phone shut down three separate times...my phone was not affected in any way. Two of the photos show objects we did not see directly."

"On Friday evening, my family was driving home to Payne Ohio. About 8 miles outside of town we observed a bright white light in the sky, appearing to be close to Payne. As we got closer, I asked my wife what it was. To wit, she responded an airplane. I told her that airplanes do not have bright white lights unless landing or taking off and since there was no airport nearby, it couldn't be. She again suggested airplane because it had some blinking red lights with it as well. As we drew closer we could tell it was not moving at all. We got to the point where it was about 2 football fields away from us and about 1000 ft. in the air. At this point we could tell it was not an airplane or helicopter. I rolled the window down to take a couple pics, it was completely silent. At that point it started moving, slowly at first and then accelerated to a speed well over 300 miles an hour as it disappeared from our view within 30 seconds or so."San Antonio, TX

"There were no planes no helicopters in the sky during this event.. About maybe 10 mins later the sky lit up with planes an helicopters no sound, no clouds in sight very clear sky... The path these objects traveled was south going north east... I witnessed wat I thought was a formation some were side by side with a gap between the two then there were some that created a broken triangle.. The objects were all single objects not one object.. They glowed orangish... As they headed north east the objects accelerated an I noticed sum seemed to blink as they were in accelerating an got smaller an smaller then they were gone"Lemoore, CA2015-01-03/ 2:00PM"I was in my back yard enjoying the nice sunshine and clear blue sky. I was laying down f with my face towards the sun. I saw an object slowly rising upwards in front of the sun approximately 300 feet away. It had a round shape and was flashing a light as it moved upwards. I thought maybe it was a balloon. The object was continually rising at a slow but steady pace. I was lying down and the object moved out of view. So I got up to follow it and walked out to my back ally. I looked up toward highway 41 and saw 20 to 30 flashing balls of light hovering. Then they moved above the city park of Lemoore and hovered there for about 15 minutes before leaving in a formation at high altitude."

I was taking photos of chemtrails.. When I looked at the photos I saw this object in the photos. I went back outside and could see the object with my naked eye. I took more pics and enhanced them. In one of the photos, it appears to be behind the chemtrail. I had two of the photos enhanced. You can see the lights, they appear to be in a pattern. I tried to get video but was too shaky to get a good video. I have never seen anything like this in my life. A little shaken up! After trying to get video, it disappeared. *i have more pictures of this*Valley Forge, PA

"On this particular evening I was driving home from work. Because of where I live, I always take Gulph Rd through Valley Forge Park to and from work. I was driving NW on Gulph Rd towards Phoenixville away from King of Prussia, when I noticed three very bright lights just over the tree line in the distance (I think I noticed them just about the time I passed the Washington Memorial Chapel). The lights were side by side. At first glance it looked to be an airplane of some sort. But as I drove closer I realized whatever it was, was too bright and too low to be a plane. I actually started to think that maybe they had built a tower in the park with lights at the top of it, but I knew that wasn’t logical because I would have seen this tower/monument by now. I also started to realize that whatever it was, wasn’t stationary. It was moving, but slowly. When I was finally back on a straight part of the road, I had decided that this was just too weird and started snapping pictures. As I got closer it was more apparent to me that this wasn’t a plane or a helicopter. I considered pulling over, but had someone behind me. It was also very dark and 17 degrees outside. But after my car had finally passed the lights (I couldn’t describe anything beyond that because of how bright the three lights were) I decided to look back at it out my driver side window. This is when I realized that it was literally just above the tree line and shaped like a Triangle. Once I was past the lights I could distinguish the shape vividly. After my experience I was a little shaken up. I called my mom, who thought I was just pulling her leg. But after I sent her the pictures, she was convinced. She even went as far as to research sightings in Valley Forge. She came up with two interesting stories. One, was of George Washington, who had reported witnessing a UFO in the now park. And a few years ago someone else had reported a very similar story to mine, which made me feel less crazy. I have been living in the area for almost 5 years now, and I visit the park often. I know this park in and out. I know what the planes flying overhead look like. And I’ve seen my fair share of helicopters and drones. This to me was just so weird and unexplainable. It took me almost a week to even send in my story. I’m open-minded about unexplainable events, but I personally do not come to conclusions without thinking about it first. Even if this was totally explainable, it was still weird and definitely a story worth sharing."

"I was driving home from work and noticed bright object in sky. At first I thought it was a bright star or plane but as I drove West the object looked bigger and brighter. At the stop light I took the picture. When I got home in five minutes the object was still in sky but had moved West towards the sunset. I went inside to get husband to show him but it was gone when we returned outside."

"1. Where were you and what were you doing at the time? In backyard with camera on tripod Hoping to see comet Lovejoy but just settled on testing my camera and aiming at the nearest bright star. 2. What made you first notice the object? I only noticed it after the 3rd shot with an exposer of 10 seconds each and noticed it was not moving in the same direction as the main and backgroud stars I photographed. 3. What did you think the object was when you first noticed it? Lens flare or dust on my lens but moved camera to another object and it was not there. 4. Describe the object and its actions and motions in detail. The object could only be seen through the long camera exposure of 10 seconds. Without moving the camera, background stars drifted to the right while the object appeard to stay in play but was actually drifting to the left. 6. How did you lose sight of the object? It was very cold out and waiting 15 to 20 seconds before taking the next shot starting had my fingers freezing so I went inside. I will be uploading 15 pictures and it would be best viewed as a photo slidshow. The image is oblong ( looks like a comet)located in the middle bottom of each shot. Ignore image on some of the pictures located far right in the middle, it's just a tree branch. It appears that I'm only allowed 10 uploads."

COMMON SIGHTINGS
These are sightings that seem to have more than one report of the same object with similar characteristics in a given distance and time-frame.PLEASE NOTE:
Disk shaped craft spotted in Charleston, SC
If the time of these sightings is correct then they happened around 18 hours from each other. The series of events in each sighting are eerily similar. We can speculate that the earlier sighting at 12 AM may have been a reconnaissance mission.

"My daughter and I got out of my car in a store parking lot. She said look at that thing in the sky.it was disc shaped with a bright orange light. For the life of me I couldn't think of what type of aircraft would have one large orange light on it. It was flying slowly but steadily and then the light went out, comepletely dark but we could still see the disc outline against the stars. There was no sound coming from the craft. The charleston intl. Airport is about 3 miles from where we saw it but as far as we saw, there were no planes nearby or in persuit of the disc. We lost sight of the craft as it flew over a building and out of sight. I have to say that the thought of harm or abduction crossed both of our minds because there are so many stories of that type of thing. It scared and facinated us at the same time. I wonder if anyone else saw it because we were in a busy shopping area of north charleston on rivers avenue.we couldn't have been the only ones to see it. It was obviously not a plane or sattalite but we just kept saying, what was that thing?"

"We saw a fairly large disc fly slowly over Rivers Avenue. As we watched it, the orange light went out and we could still see the disc shape, because there were no stars visible through the shape. There was also no sound coming from the disc."
More than a dozen bright lights seen over Hughes Springs, NC
Three different reports of sightings during the same exact time-frame tell of at least a dozen lights in the sky above North Carolina.

"observed approximately twenty-five red/orange flying objects or balls of light in sky
On 01/03/2014, at approximately 21:05 hrs., I was asked by my wife to come outside to see what was going on in the Southeast sky near Hughes Springs, Texas. From my back porch I immediately observed approximately ten red/orange objects or balls of light hovering in the sky. The flight path of the objects appeared to be traveling from a Southward to a Northward direction. The objects did not appear to produce any sound. I would estimate the objects distance to be approximately five miles from my location.
The Northern most three or four objects of the group of ten objects made a 90-degree turn to the East, with the rest of the group following what appeared to be the exact same flight path. As the last of the group executed the 90-degree turn, approximately three minutes had passed, I noticed a second group of approximately fourteen to fifteen more objects following what appeared to be the exact same flight path as the first group.
At this time, I had walked down the steps from my porch to get a better vantage point to capture the event on my phone camera. I watched in utter amazement as the objects traveled at what appeared to be a slow rate of speed.
The whole event lasted approximately eight to ten minutes. I could not be exact as to the time as I was somewhat excited over the spectacular light show and the precision of the flight path of the group.
Due to the precision of the 90-degree turn, and the absence of engine sounds, I do not believe the objects to have been fixed or rotor winged aircraft.
The weather conditions at the time were very light clouds with a high ceiling and zero wind. The wind direction and speed was verified by the lead meteorologist at the Shreveport, LA, National Weather Service, KSLA-TV in Shreveport, and Weather Bug Station in Mt. Pleasant."

"On the night of January 3, 2015, while in my friend's backyard, I witnessed orange-colored lights in the sky. There appeared to be around 20 or so of the lights floating in the same direction.
They floated in a line that lasted for approximately 15 minutes. They made no noise and floated a few hundred feet high. They all seemed to make a turn at the same spot and go a different direction.
There was no distinguishable formation they flew in."

"January 3, 2015 At approximately 9:05pm this date, my Sister phoned me to see if I could hear or see helicopters in our area. There is a landing zone a block East from our home where medical emergency helicopters land so it's not unusual for us to hear or see them as they tend to fly over our home. I did not hear anything so she told me to step outside and look in the sky and see if what she was looking at was helicopters or if I could hear any.
Upon stepping off my back porch I immediately saw red lights in the Southwest sky that were traveling Northwest in a line of succession and getting brighter as they got closer to our area. As they each got to a certain point in the sky they started getting dimmer, appearing to head East, then the lights succinctly disappeared.
I did not count the number of lights I saw, but I would say I saw more than a dozen."
Dissapearing light seen over Eastern skies
This is a good example of how the same object may be seen from two different points over a great distance. there is a time difference between Alabama and Georgia of one hour. There is an 18 minute difference between the reports.

Location: Conyers, GA
Shape: Light
Duration:3 minutes
"Object seen flying over interstate, increasing in brightness, then vanishing into thin air.
Object seen under the moon flying from north to south towards the observers over interstate.
It was moving quickly and growing in size. It seemed to turn in a slight half circle then briefly appeared to increase in size and intensity of brightness for roughly 3 seconds. The object then vanished into thin air.
Planes could be seen in the same field of vision but were not similar in aircraft lighting. Clouds and air conditions did not play a factor in visibility."
Triangular shaped craft flying 'intelligently' over California
This headline speaks for itself. Very interesting sightings, one by an experienced astronomer. There are other reports of the black triangles in the united states that give hints that these type of craft are possibly making a comeback.
2015-01-06/ 6:40PM
"It seemed like around 3 to 5 minutes from Seven Sisters to Diphda. Much faster than an airliner at altitude would be, and no sound so it is highly unlikely it was at a lower altitude. Checked Planes Overhead and saw nothing indicating a commercial flight through that airspace.
My heart started pounding when I saw the light flare and realized it was bigger than a satellite would be.
I was attempting to observe Comet lovejoy through 7 x 50 Vivitar binoculars from my backyard in Newark, CA. First saw it through binoculars flying very close to the Seven Sisters heading South West. At first I thought it was a satellite, until it changed direction and I saw a brief flare of light from a portion of it. It appeared to be a delta shape, dark gray in color. Changed direction and speed several times with no marking lights, staying close to a South West course until I lost sight of it somewhere around Diphda. Course and speed changes were obvious as several occurred with multiple stars present in the field of view."

Location: Watsonville, CA
Shape: Triangle
Duration:10 minutes
"I seen 1 triangle shaped red glowing craft with no blinkers and could stop and go at will..was definitely intelligently driven, and was flying too fast to be a plane or helicopter.. it was being followed by two smaller sized white orbs that could also move at high. rates of speed and could stop and go down and up and. left to right."
Large "V" shaped craft spotted over Ohio and Indiana
These reports make it a point not to state "triangular" shaped objects, but a V or boomerang-shaped object hovering in the skies. Similar in the way they describe the lights and shape of this object.

"Very cold night and my ears where cold so I move to the other side of hot tub, because that's where the lid is. Thought it would block the wind a little better.
When I did that I looked up toward the south west and saw what looked like stars, daily faint, shaped in a v, not a triangle, but a v. I couldn't believe what I was seeing, but it was moving toward the south east. I watched it for about 5 seconds move out of sight.
Have no idea how high, how big, but seemed to have 5 or so stars on each side.
I was using my iPhone with speaker to listen to the radio. Never had time to take photo, but I grabed my phone to text my daughter to tell her what I saw. As soon as I grabed my phone the speaker stopped, and the phone showed no battery. I went in the house, plugged the phone in and it immediately showed 54 percent charge.
Sitting in my hot tub facing south east. To the south east and straight up it seemed clear and I saw many starts. To the west I didn't notice any stars, but that seems to be the norm. Maybe more light pollution. "
Conclusion
There was a lot to report this week. See what I mean about the triangle shaped craft? It looks like there may be a New Mexico resident that may have had a very close encounter. Chinese lanterns really muddied up the waters and I've even read might have been the cause of fires in Texas.
NUFORC doesn't regularly update their database and I find myself waiting a full week and then finding out that there are more reports put into the MUFON database...it becomes a mess. If you're following you can expect these reports to usually come out a week behind. As discussed before; people do not report sightings right away.
THERE'S SOMETHING OUT THERE.
SPREAD THE WORD.
