The RAF do their flight training across the North of England and sometimes fly down the Borrowdale Valley where I live. I took a photo of the jet as it flew past my garden, later I spotted something else in the photo, much higher in the sky, looked like the Space shuttle and very high up. I thought it might be a training drone but it was bigger than anything like that. What is it?

Closing blinds for the night and excessive bright white light caught my attention. Thought it was helicopter hovering but it moved back and forth like window screen wipers for several minutes. Went to grab my phone to zoom in to see what it was as it just seemed a white dot as I called flick flacking , an unusual movement for aircraft or drone. Came back with phone and took a picture of the movement ..you can clearly see the swish movement when you zoom into it. Then I took anther picture when it stopped, held my phone up to dark grey shape at the window of my dining room. When I zoomed in again I was not expecting the unexplainable shape which I caught. My husband was at work so I became anxious but intrigued to keep watching incase it moved. I stayed at the window on and off keep going back to it to see if it had left. Took another photo to verify it ..to myself ! . It eventually just was not there, and never seen it again. Called my daughter and son in law to come over which they initially laughed and said it was a bright planet I was looking at until I zoomed in my footage and could not explain it. Everyone I show the pictures to have no explanation to the photos. I hope you can shed some light on these photos whether they are the real deal or not. It will put my mind at rest ..and not make me sound like some weirdo.

At between 5.30 and 5.40am i was driving from chester on the M53 motorway in the u.k heading towards junction 5 Eastham. I noticed a bright light behind the clouds for all of 2-3 seconds passing from left to right briefly then vanishing. A few seconds later a bright broken white light outline of a triangle and in the triangle had broken white slat verticle lights. The object appeared for all of 5 seconds staying static with its point facing towards the ground but hovered at roughly twice the height of nearby warehouses and close to a pylon. I am 100% sure of what i witnessed and was not a light reflection,it clearly stood out and i had nothing obscuring my vision.I haven't seen anything that resembles this beforehand and especially with the lights that it had on it. Also i didn't hear any noise but i was driving in a van with the radio on,it took me by surprise.

On the 26th of September 2021 at about 1.30pm I was leaving town to go for a ride up the rhicos mountain, something caught my eye in the sky, but we were turning a corner and as I turned to look back at it it was gone out of my eyeline. I had an uncanny urge to record the mountains of the journey. I have still not looked through the videos. We got back about 3pm and I went straight out to see what I had saw was still there bearing in mind a good hour and half had passed,but I still felt a strong urge to video the mountain. I think that it was the flag on the tip that had caught my eye, but could bearly see it staring straight at it, and the object is clearly in the video I took. I have lived her in the valleys among the mountains all my life and have never had this sense of something very spooky going on up there. I have caught two more object's on and over that mountain, and have video footage if all three.

Started walking on a dark dirt path from the hotel after closing it alone in a remote location when a small size of flying object appeared about 50 yards from me. It appeared as shined yellow, green changing to red colour sometimes especially when accelerating and increased and decreased distance many times towards me up to estimated 200-300 yards. The object had similar very fast manoeuvring capabilities like a Kolibri bird with no sound at all the time over 15 minutes while I was on my phone with my friend and try to explain I have seen. The object disappeared when I reached the maintenance shed and outdoor lights turned on.

Vertical cylinder, slow moving but caught sunlight reflects a couple of times which is what made me look up.was travelling in a south to north direction at a high altitude. The sky was cloudless and blue. There was no sound from object but a jet went over very high five minutes later which I could hear. Took about 6 photos on my mobile phone camera.

I was walking home with my mum, and she pointed at this very bright light, we thought it was the moon at first but staring at it for a while it was far too small to be the moon, there was one small cloud underneath it, which was the only cloud in the sky, the light shut off and it shut from the top and bottom, and moved behind the cloud underneath which was still slightly lit, both my mum and I watched it happen and we were very confused, I carried on watching the cloud and it started to move quite slowly and then it sped up and disappeared. It just was very bright and quite small, but that could of been because it was quite far away.

whilst sat eating food from a barbeque in the garden in front/next to my brother and his wife's home on saturday night i said/blurted more than once to my brother his wife and there three friends"whatever are those lights in the sky????"observing two strange colourful blue/purple lighted craft in the sky that had passed overhead seconds before flying side by side but some distance apart(about 13 feet apart)from each other moving at a moderate not fast speed at an altitude of around 800-1,000 feet towards the town of alton.a person i.e friend of my brothers alerted by my remark had noticed the lighted crafts also and walked across the garden to observe them see what they where using his phone's camera i did the same and followed him thinking i wood be able to capture these two beautiful lighted craft on my phone's camera also but to no avail the two craft did'nt seem in any hurry as they were visable and could be seen for around another 2 minutes there colour! altered the first craft particularly it also dropped down abit from being level with the other craft that was next to it.my brother wife's a very short time later said that they were stars which they clearly were not.....neither where they helicopters or similar or lights from other normal recognisable aircraft that i saw flying in different directions an altitudes that night i have never seen two craft with almost beaming like lights on them like these before and to not hear any sounds/noise from crafts that were'nt far up at all during the time i saw them adds to the mystery another interesting point is that these objects where close to a location place of an even stranger encounter where i observed and filmed a moving cream/pure white coloured pulsating ball into cream/pure white disc/saucer craft 19 years earlier in late June 2002...the footage is exceptional and treasured by me even now....

My wife saw a white large light moving across sky at a constant speed I’m back garden. It went over house where she called me and we ran out the front as it passed over house. It made a low decibel noise loud enough to just hear like a flame travelling through sky. Have attached the film and also zoomed in images. Didn’t leave a trail. Disappeared into distance.

I got up from working and went into our kitchen to get a snack. I was washing a nectarine in the sink when I looked out our kitchen window. At first I thought there was a garbage bag flying through the air about 200m due east from our flat. Then I noticed that there were 10-20 objects all flying in the same direction. They flew in straight lines from south to north and stayed in a kind of random formation, not moving relative to each other. They were small white/gray spheres. Then I noticed about half of them were either intermittently glinting in the sun or emitting light, I wasn’t sure. All of them looked iridescent green like the back of a fly in the sun, except for one which shone/glinted red. The whole sighting was probably 10 to 20 seconds before they traversed my field of view and/or disappeared behind rooftops and treetops. I pulled out my camera and managed to take two pictures, in one I captured about 5 objects and in the other only one. I then tried to film them but something went wrong with the recording and although you can hear my voice the image is frozen which is a bit weird. The images are from the last half of the sighting when I got my wits together enough to try to get visual evidence. It is possible that these were drones but we are close to an international airport so I don’t think it would be any professional drone pilot operating these. Also not clear why there would be so many flying in a random formation. Thus I actually think these were proper UFOs/UAPs – my wife a glowing orb the same section of sky at roughly the same distance in the middle of the night about two years ago for whatever that’s worth. As for my bona fides I have two engineering degrees and a PhD in neuroscience and don’t consider myself prone to flights of fancy nor was I hallucinating – I was working at the time (unless coding triggers hallucinations). While I don’t have any firm beliefs on what they actually are, I do believe there is ample evidence of UAP generally. I would characterize my sighting as a typical orb type UAP report.

Sighting was brief as driver of vehicle got unnerved when UFO came close. I spent 5 years as enlisted airman in Royal Air Force as an aircraft engineer and I have never encountered anything like this before. In my opinion this was not a manmade vehicle.

I big light came through the dark clouds as we thought lightning randomly started , it was bigger than 100 planes easily , when it came close had 1 ring of light around it spinning all directions on the spacecraft It hovered over us for 2 minutes and filled up 90% of the sky couldn’t see anything else , max a 150 hundred metres on top of us and it made zero sound , it started moving away from us gradual speed and from far u can see it shining the whole sky moving across it and disappeared after a few kilometres of us watching it fly away It gave a weird feeling inside , and we was chilling next to a lake

All of a sudden to the east a massive light appeared to the east. It resembelled similar characteristics of what a meteor would display upon entering the atmosphere with an almost sudden flash and fast motion of light. In complete shock and need to put a rational reason to whatbibwas seeing I stood in complete awe and disbelief as I witnessed the light intensify in what can only be described as an entry into the atmosphere then suddenly stop in it's tracks completely stsrtioery in it's position and gradually go from bright either that white so bright it blurred visually to gradually reducing in brightness intensity as it held it's position in the sky to the east and at a height I'd visually average to be lower than air traffic I have previously observed in the above area ... during this time I I went through all possibilities that could rationally and skeptically be the most fitting and probibal scientifical and environmental explanation pertaining to what I was seeing .. being a keen armature star gazer and astrology ( the necessary basics anyway) from a young age I considered and rules out any factors that underpin this .. ie Venus? Brightest in sky .. no it's moving .. plane /helicopter! or military aircraft that often travel overhead at these hours .. No noise.. completely will for about a minute no aircraft does this .. helicopter make noise.. meteor, comet you name it I considered it .. all of these were not even close to fitting what i was witnessing before me and 100% certain in my observation that it was none if these. In absolute excitement I shouted on my partner.. I mean he would never believe me if I told him. And what an experience to miss out on even just visually .. on joining me he was also totally gobsmacked .. it's a ufo I exclaimed my partner.. who is thee biggest skeptic out .. agreed that what we were seeing was something totally crazy and unexplainable!! .. After the light sat stationery for around no it's maybe minute and half it took off at rapid pace North East bound at a great rate .. also solidifying no aircraft made by man has this ability .. it eventually went out of sight. Since then there have been 2 occasions I have seen a busrt of bright flashing lights in sky at opposite sides of my home .. the have a short and delayed timing between bursts flash maximum 5 times and gone ... o have als9 witnessed what first appeared a satellite moving through night sky then took an impossible and not characteristic of satellite 90 degree change in direction then fade or lost behind clouds... again I always rule out these man made explanations before I jump to an extraordinary conclusion

We have a giant expanse of sky at the back of the house. I look up to see an object moving at a very fast speed as I stepped closer to the window I begin to really notice it's shape very oval shaped, fairly fat in the middle, no wings! It didn't look like it was solely made of just one metal, hard to explain, but it looked like it had an aura around it. It was moving east to west and in a perfectly horizontal line, it was neither ascending or descending. It passed into cloud cover and at the speed it was traveling it should have been in the clearing blue sky within a few seconds! Nothing came out the other side and that is what's really puzzling to me. I know it wasn't a plane, I saw it long enough to know that, but whatever it was, at that speed, height and trajectory it had to by our law of physics come out the other side of the cloud cover, but nothing did.

walking the dog at around 5:15 , clear sky just as i looked up there was a perfect straight line of lights that kept its formation as it took off across the sky and disappeared over the sky .it travelled fast but not at a super pace it took about 30 seconds to vanish. not one light was out of shape a plane was flashing some distance away with a tail behind it but that was flashing as it came the other way the lights was different no flashing warning light at the front , it was not a plain trail left in the sky as i could make out its formation as i went off with trail behind it. there was 20 ish lights i have some footage in a phone video but it was taken at night but can make out the anomaly .

My wife and I both witnessed yesterday evening three spherical, bright orange unidentified flying objects. We viewed the objects with high powered binoculars and they were exactly as described, spherical, bright orange flying objects of considerable size, certainly larger than a commercial aircraft. These rose up, hovered for around one minute and then flew away. They were definitely under control. Last year I reported a very similar sighting in March 2020, the only difference is that last year we witnessed only one unidentifiable flying object but it looked very similar in every way. We didn’t manage to video record the objects yesterday as they moved away before we could set our phones up to record but yesterday we did view the objects with binoculars. I will attach the video that I submitted last year by way of a reminder, and if you expand the image then this is exactly what we saw again yesterday evening but there were three such objects.

This is all i can tell you, i am a 64 year old male living in the uk, And i was not intoxicated, and on no medication at that time. It was a very clear and bright afternoon, no clouds, i was in my Garden for my dog to do her toilet, when i looked up into the sky, Not looking at anything specifically, when i saw something moving At incredible speed? This was not a plane, and not a satellite, planes don't fly this high It was too high to distinguish the shape, but the colour was lead like, dull Grey?, This ufo was way higher than 10,000 feet, although it was tiny to look at, (nothing earthly goes at that speed, at that distance away)??

At around noon on Friday 27th February, I observed to following. Clear Blue sky, 16x80 Binoculars. As I scanned the sky I noticed several hairline 'contrails' but not as left by a normal jet. These were rapid, then vanished. I saw about four of these very briefly, just two or three seconds. These lines converged at a similar point, moving at ultra high speed and head South across the Channel. The next sighting was shortly after. Two White/Silvery objects of undefined shape but NOT round, possibly near rectangular, moving almost side by side. One object slightly larger. The forward object was jinking up and down a tiny bit. The heading distance was South. Altitude unknown, but possibly above 30K Feet. These were visible for around three seconds. They were not 'plant seeds' like dandelion or round airborne seeds which we used to call 'fairy's' in the UK. At a guess, bearing in mind the possible height, these two object could have been travelling at around 2000 mph or thereabouts. Shortly after but higher up, not by much, a brief contrail streak appeared...slightly wriggly looking , perhaps by Vortex, lasted about two seconds then instantly dissolved to nothing. At a guess, the contrail could have been around the height of a normal contrail, perhaps much higher. Nothing more was seen in that region although I did notice a similar white object drifting West but these were airborne 'Fluff'. The Binoculars were focused to be clear at jet trail height. Any white 'fluff' close too would be blurred away. They were NOT Birds due to the extreme speed. They were not Eye Floaters which I suffer from, but there are not white and do not race South. Unless you were sharp eyed or had Binoculars trained on that section of sky, you would have missed them, even through 7x or 8x Binocs. These items are a mystery...Unidentified, possibly misidentified but none were birds and nothing we have knowingly flies at that speed.
