My background I am in customer support, and a musician. I want to start this off by saying I’ve been trying to actively make contact for a while now using meditation and CE-5-like cognitive thought sequencing techniques. I tried something similar at 8:00 - 8:45 pm tonight while on a night walk and sitting in my backyard looking for any anomalies. I did see two very high, distant white lights that traveled off, one of them flaring, but it was impossible to know if they were anything significant or just space trash or something. At 10:30 pm I was standing in my dark bathroom brushing my teeth and I happened to look out the window. In the trees past my neighbor’s house an orange light suddenly appeared and flared. It blinked at me. I called my partner in saying “I think it’s a UFO.” He took one look at it and had the usual instinctual fear reaction he has when he sees something unusual and he left the room. It continued to blink at me, then disappeared. For a moment nothing happened, and I opened the window so I could listen for any sounds or anything unusual. Then it returned again and disappeared again after about a minute of being there. Out loud, I very quietly said, “Do you mind if I film you, is that okay?” And I pulled out my cellphone camera and aimed at the spot in question. The included video was the third time it appeared and flared. The video quality is not the best but I kept steady and just filmed it quietly until it disappeared from sight. After putting away my phone, I then witnessed something that looked like a long shape or a cigar shape or perhaps the rounded edge of something larger with a row of orange lights like tiny glowing windows move off into the trees, from the same distance as the initial orange ball of light but closer towards my property. I felt instinctively if I tried to film it, it would disappear, so I did not pull back out my camera this time. I think I can try and recreate the events in future, and maybe then I can film something more obvious than just a ball of light. Right after the orange window object vanished beyond the tree line, my neighbors lights started to flicker like their power was effected. Only their house seemed to be effected as far as I could tell; no other streetlights or my house or anything was effected. But it was right in front of me so I could see it happen. In the past few weeks as well when I go out for night walks I’ve noticed the neighborhood dogs tend to bark a lot at nothing - not near me as I’m walking by but in the distance I hear them almost systematically start barking from one house to another down the block beginning in the next street over to mine. I don’t know what’s setting them all off. As far as neighborhood reports have it, there have been no strange people spotted or any break ins or anything. There were weird “drones” in the area here and in Buckingham very recently though, a swarm of strange drones. I’d like to add I am a lifelong Experiencer and have seen more things in the sky recently than in my first thirty years of life. I don’t know what it means, but it’s certainly intriguing. Orange balls of light seem to be the most common one that I keep experiencing. If an investigator wants to contact me about this experience or any of my others, they can. The included map includes the approximate direction where I saw the ball of light (I could not tell how close it actually was, as it appeared in the trees) and the dotted line is the approximate path the windowed object took, which was at helicopter height but not like any helicopter I’ve observed - nor was anything active on my flight radar at the time.

I came out to have a cigarette with my sister in law and noticed a large shadowy object over the treeline. It did not make a sound! 2 bright white lights one on each side and a flashing yellowish light in the middle in like Morse code type blinking. moving at a gliding pace, the object seemed to " blend in" with the night sky.. it came from the west and headed east. It was too big, moving too low and no sound! So it was not a plane ! And I have been an amateur astrologer for my whole life (43) so I know the night sky.

Sighting: Bucks County, Pennsylvania, approximately 6:45 PM, December 27, 2022. Our backgrounds: I am in customer service now but a former musician who doesn’t do much with my art anymore. My partner is a former gifted athlete who was injured in a game and currently works retail. Both of us have experienced paranormal events before - both my partner’s mother and I have an affinity for the possibility of non-human life in the universe - and after years of not seeing anything, this is my second UAP sighting in a week but this one is way more intense than the last. The first was just an orange orb that passed by. The sighting: After work, my partner was outside my house smoking on the front walkway and poked his head in. He asked what planets we could see from the house, and I told him, and he asked: “are any of them bright green?” Dumbfounded, I went outside and looked up where he indicated, in the western (I think western) sky behind my house, towards the Trenton skyline. Whatever he had seen was gone and he was uncomfortable and uneasy and said, “it was right there.” It was a cloudy night with patches of clear sky. The clouds were moving pretty quickly, and revealed a big green star in the sky. Except it moved. I said: “I don’t think that’s a star”. A minute later it jumped altitude - I don’t know how high, I know nothing about altitudes aside from typical meteorological cloud heights (I used to study meteorology as a child) - but one minute it was in one spot in the sky and the next it was way higher and smaller. I got excited and tapped him on the shoulder to look, but it blinked out of sight. I scanned the sky to see if it would come back. Out front of the house, to the southeast, more clouds cleared and I watched a big blue/whitish light moving at plane height. “I think that’s a plane,” I said to him. Almost as soon as I said that, it stopped dead, changed shape slightly from a ball-like/light shape to something elongated and almost cigar shaped, back into a circle shape, and began to fly in a circle, vertically. I hope that makes sense - I mean in a circle vertically/counterclockwise I could see looking at it dead on not in a round/searching circle horizontally like a helicopter. Clouds covered it. I scanned the sky again - it appeared in the first location I’d seen it but further away, and traveled almost an identical path. It stopped dead again and hovered, reversed, then flew in a zig zag pattern. The cloud cover grew too thick and though I stayed out a little longer I didn’t see anything else. I was excited and whispering like “Hi! Come back!” very excitedly because I’d never seen anything like it before, and behind me my boyfriend was becoming more and more frightened/agitated and he actually dragged me back into the house. When we came back inside my boyfriend immediately threw up in the bathroom. My heart was beating like I’d just ran a marathon and I was elated. But within an hour I developed a terrible headache that I still have two hours after seeing the object. It has not gone away and I still feel a little nauseous. Before anyone asks, yes I’ve checked my carbon monoxide levels - we have new batteries in the detector and I tested it a week ago so it’s still working. We did not consume any hallucinogens, and he was smoking a non nicotine (non THC!) cigarette. (He’s trying to quit). I had no alcohol, had just drank water actually, and we had not eaten any of the same things that day yet - I work from home, he works outside of the home, and I hadn’t finished making dinner when this occurred.

I was driving south west (leaving Route 1 South business). I saw something really shiny in the sky. At first I saw 3 white lights all close to each other and I love using my telescope so I am pretty aware of the sky and what stars look like. I said to myself this had to be a pretty awesome star or just a new antenna in the neighborhood. Then, when I finally parked at my house, I saw a triangle shape aircraft like moving very very low (no sound and it wasn't a helicopter). I immediately went upstairs and called my husband he saw the blinking lights that stood a one place on top of a tree for about 4 to 5 minutes then it disappeared.

I was in my car at work waiting for my relief to arrive so that I could leave. My shift is over at midnight. The sky was completley covered in clouds, but I noticed a small spiral of clouds to left. Nothing major, it was more of a swirl than spiral. I thought, maybe HAARP? I took my camera out, put it on the night setting, got out of my car and took two pictures. I checked the preview to make sure the camera captured it because it was so dark and there's barely any lights in the area. I started looking around the sky and was shocked to see a huge dark object in the clouds, high above my car. The spiral was to the left of my car and the shape was pointing in that direction and directly above me. I kept thinking maybe it's just a break in the clouds and all I'm seeing is the night sky. But the fact that it had visible straight lines and what appeared to be, a sharp point, made me want to take several more pictures. It was not moving at all. There was absolutely no sound or lights. I don't know how low the clouds were but the object seemed huge. I don't know anything about cloud altitude, so it's hard to make an accurate guess of how high or big it was. I want to say the width appeared to be as wide as maybe 5 passenger jets side by side. I observed it for about 6 minutes until it seemed to slowly disappear and clouds filled in the area. Something was there, that I know. Witness provides multiple photos, which indicate a swirl in the clouds, and appears to be a subdued dark area in the cloud cover. We do not know what the object is.
