Boulder, CO
Was Taking Photos with an old Kodak camera, The exposure wasn't right, and the glare and blur is noticeable. Large Triangle ship moves across the sky at around a relative speed of 50-60 MPH. Large gaps were visible on the ship, and it was such a spectacle to observe.

Around 11pm my fiancé saw why he thought was a very bright star. I told him no? It must be a plane as I saw it moving. We started watching further and saw a large, sometimes triangular, sometimes orb like, object/mass that was staying stationary in the sky but sometimes moving closer/farther. With various light rays at different times. We used a gun spotter scope to see closer and observed a large orb like object that sometime appeared triangular like with various light ray like things at what would be the “points”. At the end of its dissapearancd it had a large blue like light trail before departing. Also, when we zoomed into it 40x zoom it appeared to be a large grey swirly like “disc”

Objects appear nightly. They sometimes appear as small clouds that move very quickly. There is also a long straight light that moves very quickly and changes direction very quickly. There are no current objects that can change direction this quickly. [NUFORC annotation: Insect - Possible]

West hills, CA
All 3 objects changed shape, Top object was pyramid shaped. middle was octogon and flat. No sound. Bottom was super 3d and diamond shape. they would spin independently of each other and would move imperfectly in the same direction, getting closer and farther apart. This took place while I was walking my dog on Monday evening. At first it hovered in the same place, each object spinning at different speeds; the line formation was reminiscent of how a clown balances spinning plates. When it started moving, it didn’t seem to move fast but I was on top of a big hill with wide open sky, and it covered a large distance, quickly. And it was increasing in altitude. I also saw a small plane flying past that looked like it was trying to get a closer look at the mysterious objects. I took video and sent to my mom, who lives 20 miles away the next town over. She sent me a video tonight (Friday) of the same craft formation in the sky! With a plane flying by it! We live VERY close to rocketdyne and Santa susana fields laboratory! Home of the worst nuclear disaster in USA history!

I see the sighting every night for over a year. They are very bright with red and white lights. Sometimes they come close to the ground and sit there for hours. I would only see one but now there are at least 4. It scares me because they are too close to the backyard.

I pulled over to take a video of a bright red-orange light in the sky- a star was next to it & the light was so bright and red as if it were close to the same size. (Attached is the video, the light was so bright in the video it shows as white. Zooming in you can see the reddish flickering aura.) I got home and told my dad to come outside because it was sitting in the same spot hovering. It came from south-west to north-east. It went over the star Corona Borealis & ascended up before stopping and hovering around 5-10 minutes. We called our neighbor out and it appeared to dance and move around the star, rarely moving straight. Our neighbor’s wife & daughter came outside to see. It then started on a southern direction ascending up- went between stars Nekkar & Seginus of the constellation Boötes. Hovered between (Nekkar & Seginus) at least 5 min- During this we saw at least 2 tiny orbs crossing the sky, one went south & a minute later we saw one go north- from each side of constellation Boötes. The orb of light(?) went from the middle of the 2 stars (Nekkar & Seginus), north toward the end of Big Dipper’s handle. It then went east until it faded out of sight.

I was out walking my dog and in the corner of my eye I saw an orange glowing orb jet across the sky (no sound) at an incredible speed. Once I turned my head and made full eye contact with it, it quickly passed and got obstructed by the building adjacent to me. I have seen drones before in the area that people like to fly, I can say with much certainty this was not a drone of any kind I am aware of since the glow was spherical and the rate of speed it moved was way too fast. I am unsure of the altitude since it happened so quickly, but I would imagine it is in the range of 200-400 feet (im no expert on prediction of altitude)

Los Angeles, CA
While facing West at 11th + Elden, Los Angeles we noticed a UFO shaped like a spinning top with multi-colored light rings moving around it, similar to how an atom would look with electrons whizzing around it. It was producing flashes of color as we watched it. It stayed relatively low in the sky, well below airplane flight paths. We got out binoculars + continued to watch it as it stayed stationary in the sky. It was clearly spinning + flashing with a strange aura or energy field around it. While we were watching it, a police helicopter flew by it and stopped briefly, appearing to be checking this object out then eventually continued on. While we were watching this, 2 tiny green-lit crafts similar to small drones zoomed up over top of us then stopped directly overhead as we looked up at them. They stayed above us approximately 8-10 seconds then continued East-bound then they looped back in the direction of the UFO + appeared to return to the craft. Shortly after this the UFO began to rapidly fly West towards West LA + the ocean. We jumped in the car + tried to follow it but it was moving to quickly to catch.

Thanks for taking the time to look into this. I was compelled to report this because of the unusual nature of the experience. This was seen on the roof of a residential building on 2nd Ave in East Village, Manhattan. The video shows a point of view looking at Queens/Brooklyn. The roof is about 15-16 floors in height. I was looking towards the east sky and noticed a bright flashing white light which appeared to be at a very high altitude and moving fast. The object was not moving like a typical airplane or helicopter. It appeared to be in the direction of and directly above LaGuardia airport. There were planes in the sky flying towards LaGuardia that are not shown in the pictures or videos because by the time I got my phone out to record they were out of view. The object moved looked like it was moving very fast and able to stop and stay stationary in the air at times, and it was emitting a flashing bright white light not familiar to me to be a typical aircraft. I have included a picture with a drawn red circle, where when you zoom in you can see the shape of this object. I could not tell if it was changing shape while in motion.

A/C flying at approximately 36,000FT reported seeing approx. 5 orbs moving vertically and horizontally. They would get very bright than dim back down again. The pilot of the A/C reported they had video. They were given the website address to make a report as well.

La Mirada, CA
I left my house to enter the garage and noticed what seemed like a very visible and enlarged Mars. I went inside to call my sister out of her room and went back outside to observe some more. It clearly lowered what seemed to be inches from my point of view, but could've possibly been hundreds of feet (depending on its distance.) I yelled out for my sister to "Hurry and get out here." Before she could come out and witness the anomaly, the red "fireball" flickered away into the night sky, just as a dying flame would. What bothers me most is that I had every opportunity to capture it on my phone, but as soon as I realized it wasn't Mars, it all just happened so fast, my phone wouldn't have made it in time. I'm glad I was at least able to capture a visual memory. As of a week later, I've seen no reports or videos on what I saw on that date, however, there are videos of fireballs doing exactly what I witnessed.

On the night of May 6th, 2023, I was walking my dog some time shortly after 10 p.m., when I happened to look up through the budding branches of a tree in front of my neighbor’s house, and noticed that the stars in the sky seemed to be moving. I thought my head was spinning or something, so I pulled the dog over and away from the tree to get a better look, and I clearly saw the following: there were little lights that looked like stars fading into view, before traveling directly straight upward and fading out again. Three to four of them would be visible at a time; as the one on top was disappearing, a new one would be reappearing at the bottom. I estimate that I was looking into the sky at a 40 degree angle from the ground, and this lasted from about 30 seconds to a minute, before everything suddenly faded out before my eyes. Their movement was perfectly vertical and perfectly regular (same speed and same distance apart). Everything appeared and disappeared in the middle of the sky at the same level; there were no clouds to obscure my view if they might’ve been traveling up from the horizon, and I could clearly see many other stars around. Further up northward, I could clearly see Venus, still visible in the sky, which was extremely bright, and looking a ways to my left, further south, there was another star which was at a similar level to my eyes as Venus. The lights I saw appearing and disappearing occurred somewhat close to the right of that other star I just described (sorry, but I do not know which star that was), and I believe this would have been occurring directly out over Lake Erie, although I have no idea how close or far away they were other than to say that they seemed to me to be at a great distance (due to their consistent visible likeness with stars). But that is a guess. I have tried to make sense of this in my mind, but in all my years of looking up at the sky, I have never seen anything resembling this, nor can I rationalize what normal phenomena it could have been. It was as if many spacecraft had lined up to leave the Earth’s atmosphere and were following each other in a perfect rhythm, traveling horizontally (fading in at the bottom) and then vertically before leaving. The other way I could describe it was as if there was a giant, narrow ferris wheel or disc turned vertically up and down in the sky, with lights on its edge, which was turning, causing the lights to appear and disappear; the lights disappearing on top had reached the summit of the wheel, faded out and disappeared behind the wheel, and reappeared at the bottom. This would explain the machine-like regularity of the movement, but I SAW NO OBJECT. I only saw lights. I must emphasize that these are only my best ways of describing what I saw; not claims as to what it actually was. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Probable]

I was having a fire for my kids and other kids in the neighborhood when I looked up and saw 4 moving stars horizontally in a line. The top one would vanish and a new one appeared at the bottom. Then there were 2 and then they dissapeared. I said look, do you guys see that. They did. All of us saw it. I yelled for my brother to come look, at that time my daughter grabbed my phone and shot the video. Only 2 lights are visible during the time we finally took the video [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Possible]

We were walking on Grant St. in Centerport, New York, approximately 9:15pm. It was dark, with some clouds. My friend noticed 2 orbs hovering in the western sky. They were apart from each other but seemingly aligned. One disappeared, then the other was gone. No sound.

Oak Grove, MO
Two witnesses described numerous (7-10) orange-type lights in a cone-like formation formation in the sky coming from the south heading north toward Oak Grove. The dogs were acting crazy at this time. About 3-5 minutes later one of the witnesses looked straight up and noticed what he called a "flying saucer". The main witness then scrambled to get a cell-phone shot of the craft and got only about 4 seconds of video. The object was perfectly round with the center (about half the mass) black or dark gray. with its outside being silver gray and middle almost black, described as a flying saucer. Apparently the outside of this object was being illuminated by the city lights as the saucer was not lit. Witnesses described a smell of burning wiring. After the saucer-like ship flew past, military choppers were everywhere in the sky. Witness has actual video of one of the choppers chasing one of these lights. Within a 5-minute time-frame the witnesses saw 3-4 lights or orbs which went in the same direction, disappeared, then reappeaed and headed in a different direction from east to west. Within 7-10 minutes they began to hear and see 7-10 military choppers flying around in an apparent search pattern, then finally right over his house..The entire episode lasted approximately 30 minutes.

The object was on the western Horizon above the sun. it was bright enough to see through cloud cover. It was stationary and I watched it for 3 minutes before it vanished. I did not see it move at all it just disappeared. There are no stars it was very close to the sun in the sky.
