SHARPSVILLE, IN

Bright light in the sky moving in circulation mode. Sometimes appear to move in and out. Was here tonite for an hour then moved out of site further, but more at distant.

The object had no sound, no blinking lights,moved very slow, no trail. It was brighter than the surrounding stars. When it was above us, it disappeared. Duration was approximate 3 minutes. The body of the triangle looked sky dark. About 5 minutes later, we noticed 3 similar sized lights to the east, only in a straight line. Not connected to a constellation, nor was it Venus, which was more to the east and brighter. I felt uneasy, we went inside.

Fenton, MI

Spotted a metal object in the sky at a very low altitude. The object was hovering in one spot above the freeway and looked to be a disc shape with a central light. Underneath the object it appeared to be a plane shape but was not moving and just hovered for about 15 seconds in one spot. I captured a video of it and after a few seconds of recording the object blurred itself from my camera. When I looked back at the object after passing underneath it, it had vanished without a sound or trail.

Ramsey, NJ

I woke up to what I thought was a star out my bedroom window to the West, but realized quickly that the object was not a star or an airplane evidenced by the bizarre motion of the orb like object that is hovering and zig zagging. There are no lights whatsoever on this object but it does appear to be shiny

Chander, OK

I observed a round object moving east to west across the sky at approximately 11:45 pm on May 14, 2023. It was lighted flashing about once per second changing color from orangish brown to blueish gray. It appeared to be somewhat larger than an airplane. I used my Apple 11 cell phone to video it for about 30 seconds until I could no longer see it. The night sky was cloudy. The color change appeared to be somewhat fragmented, not changing color all at the same time and the object appeared to have somewhat of a rolling motion.

College city, CA

Cont from sight summary…we were in awe..just watching them..thought it could be a blimp or something so I put my flashlight up at them…immediately right when I did that they faded slowly but in progression from first light to the last..and they were gone..they did t fade due to horizon or charge of light or sky it was all the same. They faded right when I put flashlight up at them. No noise..no plane..no blimp..no marker lights..NOTHING..and these were not up in space.they were lower than planes we saw later flying over.

Mt Royal, NJ

Saw some unusual lights coming at me and took out my camera to take pictures of the unusual object. I was able to get 3 pictures and it vanished! After looking at the first picture closely I notice a flat craft of some sort that moved to a horizontal position and vanished? [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Probable]

Brodheadsville, PA, PA

Above Venus a transparent, elongated object started moving vertically with 1 bright, solid light at the top. It appeared to be moving away from us at first, pretty similar to a rocketships trail. I pointed asking my spouse what that was when we were on the porch, and we both couldn't take our eyes off it because it seemed different. We continued to watch and it started to come across the sky slowly. It appeared as one object, but almost transparent but could still make out a shape, the best thing to call it would be a saucer, the size was unreal I'm guessing 150ft long maybe more. It finally started hovering above our yard, and we both agreed there was distanct 7 lights in a line with even spaces. This was clearly from one object and it was lower than the plane that was passing near it to the right of it infront. The odd part of it was as my spouse reached for his phone to finally take a video as it was right above us. I was keeping my eyes on it and all the lights slowly dimmed and disappeared before he even looked back up. We both have seen questionable things in the sky before, as we are outdoor folk and have been in remote locations with open sky's but nothing has compared to this experience. We both questioned each other after, "Did we really just see that?" After that I felt eerie or as if being watched from a distance and was hearing some odd sounds that I couldn't explain, so we went inside. Its something you hear about but to see yourself was an experience.

Deer Park, AL

I was outside smoking a cigarette talking on the phone. I was watching a circular, green and white flashing thing in the sky to the northeast. I watched a torpedo shaped/ orange fire colored object emitted from the bottom of the circular object and went straight down towards earth. I then couldn’t see it as the trees blocked my view the closer it got to earth. Then my dog ran in that direction and was barking.

Thermopolis, WY

We were sitting and looked up to see two parallel lines of light, matching in length, connected by smaller lines of light. It was moving south east, high in the sky, like you would expect a comet. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Certain]

Cannon Beach, OR

I was taking a picture of the sunset, and noticed the darker cloud/craft. I zoomed in and saw two more. Then I decided to take a video and one of them appeared too quickly to be a cloud. They faded away faster than a cloud would also. My phone was acting unusal and zooming more rapidly than usual. I take sunset pictures each night when I am at work. I got scared and stopped filming. I have a couple video clips I could share but they are too big to attach. My coworker at the hotel is filling this out because the video is so compelling. Please reach out.

Portland, OR

I saw a bright white light (brighter than Venus) to the south, moving NE at about the speed I’d expect an aircraft to fly. There was no perceptible sound, and no red/green lights. Immediately, I saw a small white light move “out of” the large white light, move away for a couple seconds, and then disappear. I watched for about 15 seconds, as the light continued its NE course, then took out my iPhone and filmed video at 1x, as it moved away. During the first 10 seconds or so, the video shows a small white light moving around the large light, appearing and disappearing. I filmed the object from the street in facing my home (last home on dead-end street) in the eastern sky.

Klamath Falls, OR

Wife and I out as we are often at sunset on our patio or in the yard with eyes in the sky. I personally aim for “EENT” which in my 8 years in the USMC as a Scout Sniper followed by over 10 years as I private security “contractor” has lead me to a unique idea that often pays dividend in sightings. I usually don’t record them or have the chance to. I’ve made efforts to now capture when possible. The light seemed to “flash into” our atmosphere really and then slowly travel a slight “wobbly” path. The wife and I celebrated our first communal sighting since our move to Oregon from Arizona in December. The weather and hectic life/ schedules had not allowed us to do our nightlight sunset/eent watch. But it was Mother’s Day and we made it a point. Our girls were returning from an errand which requires our dogs that were out in the yard with us to be taken in the house. As my wife proceeded I recorded further as much as I could post the intial shock wearing off we had a solid UAP. I add to the credentials my wife is also a 20 year retired Air Force F15 jet mechanic. We understand our known aircraft operations and I have a very good identifications for items that should be in our orbit. Video to large to upload (2:08) and some zoomed in good “orbish” qualities.

Little Canada, MN

A very bright triangle very high in the sky above the lake. I was out in the backyard gardening with my wife and I looked up and I saw this very bright triangle very high in the sky higher than I ever see a plane and I see lots of planes from my location. I look left to tell my wife that plane must be very high, and when we look back, it was gone. Very disappointing I didn’t immediately take out my phone. My wife and I have seen UFO in the past we saw a TikTac vehicle above the Saint Paul airport 10 years ago. So when I told her that she wasn’t surprised. I thought I should tell the story.

Simnasho, OR

We were flying southbound from Hood River, Oregon to Sunriver, Oregon. Sometime between 11:55am and 12:10pm at a cruising altitude (GPS) of ~10,500' my wife and I saw two metallic spheres. I was the pilot, and my wife was riding in the back seat of our cessna 182 with our toddler. I thought at first that I was seeing a bird, and remarked to my wife how weird it was that there was a bird up so high. She saw the object, and as we approached it we both realized it was not a bird at the same time. We both observed it to be two spheres, gray or metallic, connected by a horizontal tether. The spheres appeared to be about 12" diameter. They were perfect spheres. Our first thought was maybe party baloons, but they were too perfectly spherical and had no apparent surface deformations that would indicate a baloon's neck/tie-off spot. We did not observe a tether to the ground, or any means of propulsion. As we passed them, they appeared stationary to me but my wife said she thought they accelerated in the opposite direction of our track. We were on the CTAF frequency for the area, and heard no radio reports or disturbances. We were not on flight following, and therefore did not report to Seattle Center. I have a .kml file recorded from gps data on that flight.

Troy, NY

A large oval object passed by, increased altitude and disappeared into the darkness, it's about 108+ft in length by eye estimation, there wasnt much light to get any images but you could clearly see the outline in the sky in person, there's no lights on it like Goodyear blimps but it could've been one although it's unidentified currently, there were also a couple helicopters in the vicinity for quite some time before and after we saw it [NUFORC annotation: Blimp - Possible]

Clackamas, OR

I was walking at 3 am it was a very clear night. I left my house and walked about 100ft when I looked up from my phone to look at the stars. Immediately I noticed a bright white-yellow light transiting through the Big Dipper, which at the time appeared high in the north west sky. I mad no sound at all. I could tell it was not an aircraft of any sort it did not blink or change in intensity as it changed moved by, I checked FlightRadar immediately after the sighting and there was nothing. So I pulled out my phone and started filming. While filming I was thinking maybe satellite but it was really bright for that and appeared to vary in course and speed slightly. After it went behind the house I stopped filming but walked so I could see it. It seemed to approach the horizon the way in way which seemed similar to an aircraft at cruising altitude. Once it got to dim to see I checked flight tracker to confirm it was definitely no airplane or helicopter. I sat on the sighting for a few days but when I went to report it on the 21st of may I found many reports of similar objects and trajectories. Very interesting indeed! The video is pretty good! Unfortunately to big to upload. Still images are included.It shows the object as it moved nearly directly overhead from the northwest to the southeast on a heading of about 100-110 degrees. It took about 3min to leave my view before it was too dim to see. It appears to vary its course to “dodge” a star slightly as it left. Definitely no meteor, helicopter, or airplane. Perhaps a satellite. But I have never seen a satellite that bright and move that slow.

Kept seeing flashing lights every few seconds out my window, tried to see if there was any storms, and there's no rain or thunder. Heard some unexplained noise (didn't go outside)

Myrtle Beach, SC

I was stargazing on the balcony, I saw 3 orbs of light travel South in the form of a triangle( barley visible); one orb steering itself closer to another and back to formed shape, I scream at my boyfriend to come outside and see what I see. His eyes weren’t adjusted as he was playing video games, and the 3 lights went off into the distance. About two seconds later, my boyfriend and I saw these 6 orbs of light appear and glide itself over the hotel building.

Shelton, CT

A line of four spaced out bright red lights. Looked up images of space x and the do not match what we saw. We were driving home from work I look at the sky frequently and saw the lights. I said to my husband look at the sky and he saw and began recording. We got off the highway to get a better view and saw two more. They seems to be moving together then stopped and disappeared.
