For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist.

I saw a slow moving black rectangle in the sky, tonight. We saw it for about 10 seconds, and it was between 8:30 and 8:40 PM. It was in the sky east of PDX airport north of the Columbia River. It was moving to the north and completely black, no lights. However it was followed or accompanied by what I think was a helicopter that did have blinking lights. I judged it to be about the same height as the fuselage of a 737 and a bit shorter than a 737. This is based on my assumption that the following aircraft was at the same distance as the rectangle. We were driving west at dusk on SR-14. It was silhouetted. I did see the lights on whatever was following it, but no lights on the rectangle. It caught my attention because it was moving too slowly for a fixed-wing aircraft, but was bigger than a helicopter. At first it didn’t register and then I said to my wife “what was that thing?!” She had seen it too but by that time it had gone out of view. Shape was a rectangle with sharp corners, and no bumps, wings, rotors or anything, at least not that I noticed.

I was with my daughter walking our dog at night. I initially saw 3 round lights that seemed to be surrounded by at least 2 helicopters (sound, lights recognizable). 1 disappeared behind tree cover and the other 2 stopped and stayed in the same position, high above some homes and a treed area east of me. Because they stopped moving and were unusual in shape and color, I decided to start filming them with my phone camera. At first I held my phone but I was moving too much so I propped my elbows on a mailbox and continued to film. They are circular and seem to pulsate. Towards the end of the video the thing on the right starts to flicker and blink out a little. The stationary lights below are street lights. I am standing on the uphill portion of a street and our neighborhood is on the top of a hill. After I stopped filming I went home (just around the corner, but I couldn't see them from my house) so we jumped in my car to see if we could get closer for a bette! r look. I drove on a road that took us south but I couldn't find a better view. When I turned around and went back to the place we were at before, both of them were gone. I have a video, and this was reported to another agency who investigated and found this incident to be unknown/unidentifiable.

Orb floated down from sky. Definitely not a lens flare. Including a closeup I did in Photoshop where I tweaked contrast and colors. You can see a Aurora around the sphere and something inside, energy or something? Home elevation is approx. 1800 feet up looking West towards coast. Lifted up and then disappeared. My friend actually witnessed it. Took shot with iphone 11

I was talking on the phone last night and observed three bright stars, thinking that it was wierd, cause I had never seen them there before. I believe mars was either above them or below them, I was facing south, then they started moving. And what caught my eye was their speed and movement did not look like a plan or falling star. The first one appeared to me to moving upward and as it was moving disappeared into the sky above, not across the night sky but straight up, that’s what caught my eye. It was the strangeness of the movement. So then I watched the other two lights, then the second light moved in the same way as the first, straight up and disappeared, and then the third one did the same. I have never seen anything like that.

At approximately 6:15pm, I walked from my great room area into our adjacent kitchen area. I had noted that there was a high level of electrical activity and energy in our home that day. Lots of static electricity and pulses felt by my children and I throughout the day and an odd sense that something was happening worldwide in reference to terrorism and a sense of potential earthquake. As I walked into the kitchen area I felt something watching me and I looked instinctively to my dining area windows located in the back of my home on the western side and I saw a gold sphere hovering in the middle window. It was completely round, gold in color and was larger then a basketball but smaller then a beach ball. It seemed to almost follow my movement from the greater room into the kitchen area and was as if peering through the window observing me. I wondered about drone capabilities and or other forms of surveillance equipment as I looked at the sphere which then seemed almost zipped up into a stealth mode right in front of me and was not visible any longer. I thought I should report this.
