| I'd like to think that there are alien visitors coming to meet us, but I think that it's unlikely.  I would love to see contact made with another planet's people in my lifetime.
 A few of the stories here sound like things that can be explained, and I'll offer some possible explanations, and let you decide.  I welcome additional information that would clarify, support, or refute my thoughts on what these may be.  After all, UFO's don't have to be spacecraft, just unidentified.
 
 crow_daw:
 
 Your first sighting may have been caused by ball lightning, or swamp gas balls, which appeared to change color due to atmospheric conditions.  I'll give that about a 3.5/10 certainty, as it doesn't really fit the description too well.
 
 Memalvada:
 
 Your secod sighting, the two bright lights, could have been illumination flares used for military training and operations.  6/10 certainty.
 
 GakFace:
 
 First sighting, most likely a mylar baloon catching the light at an altitude where it still was able to reflect light from the sun.  8/10 Certainty
 
 Second one, the most plausible explanation seems to be ball lightning, but only to about a 3/10 certainty.
 
 Rodney:
 
 I'm going to say that, given the hills, the slow descent, and the miliary base, that there's a 9.5/10 chance that you were watching military illumination flares.
 
 Zargix:  I'll need more information (distance, speed,) but I'll say that it was probably a low helicopter with a searchlight.  5/10
 
 yvan:
 
 Not sure about the first, but the second and third, like many, can be said with about a 4/10 (first) and 6/10 (second) certainty that it could have been ball lightning.
