I was walking my dog when I noticed a light flying across the sky. There was no sound and normally I'd hear a plane, it was also just a single light and wasn't blinking red and white like airplanes do. I've had sightings in the past so I pulled out my phone and filmed it cross the sky. In the past I've seen a single light like this make a very fast zig zag maneuvre before accelerating out of sight at impossible speed, (though this object just travels straight across the sky), which is why I decided to film. I'm not sure what this is, but I wanted to pass it along. I'm fine with being contacted for follow up if needed (or if the video didn't upload), but I'd prefer to remain anonymous in any publishing (web or otherwise). Also, I'm not usually up until the afternoon.

Began at sunset. Still light out. Several hours witnessed. Several videos and photos captured. Naked eye was difficult to see object. Slower shutter speeds on cell phone camera was like a filter allowing more clear viewing of incident. The object changed colors and sizes. It stayed motionless and would move as well. It was full of vibrant changing colors and suddenly would explode into a huge white orb of light and then would shrink back down into changing lights again.

I noticed movement in the sky, it was a bright light, I went back into my house for my glasses, came back out and couldn’t find it. Then my husband came out and we found it going east then. It started from the west. It continued to move in an almost slow gliding way and then it like disappeared.

Was out walking my dog and looking up at the stars, I located the northern star fairy easily and then saw a solid white sphere traveling slowly from east to west. There were no blinking lights it was a solid white sphere. I tracked it across a cloudless sky for about five minutes when suddenly it came to a dead stop and vanished in the blink of an eye. I'm still baffled at how it could be there one second and gone the next.

Attached a bright photo of the sky where video is seen. It is zoomed in is why it is fuzzy. And the sound is transfer truck rolling the lonely highway and deer blowing at me and my cat meowing loudly bc she gets scared when she gets left behind.?

Something moving caught my eye to my left and when I looked up at the sky I saw a round ball traveling south at a fast rate of speed. It looked like an orb that I have seen on many UFO documentaries. The object left a thin white vapor trail and there was a haze around the orb, the center was solid. It then made a turn towards the left and disappeared into a clear sky. It was like it went into a hole. There was no background except for the moon estimated to be about 20 feet higher than the object. The sky was clear.

Last night at 8:30, as the sun was going down, a large, bowl-like shape appeared over our hedge, traveling east at about the speed of a plane. It seemed to be surrounded by fog even thought the sky was clear that night. Behind the light-colored "bowl" trailed a wide, white plume that varied in width - not a straight, thin line like a meteor and not symmetrical. As the bowl got harder to see in the distance, the white plume remained in the sky quite a bit longer. SpaceX [NUFORC annotation: Rocket - Certain]

The object was heading east approximately 300 feet from ground,( from where I saw it). It had a orangeish tail for awhile.. As it got further away the tail got lighter in color, almost white), and the farther it got the less I saw a tail trail. Eventually it was to far for us to see it.

It happened on the night of 4/30 which is my b-day and why I remember so well also I texted of my youngest son (and it's still on my phone) when we got to our destination at the next major intersection. So ... I turned south onto N. Riverside Dr. from Timberland BLVD and I saw a bright light in the sky and remarked to my son, "oh that sucks, look a helicopter" because the light was across the street from the Texas Health Harris Methodist hospital, we see them come and go. He saw looked up mumbled some sort of agreement. As we got closer I noticed it was in the same spot which was weird, they usually go directly onto the landing spot, and I've never seen two (that's not to say two helicopters can't/don't fly into the hospital, anyhoo...) so I kept watching it the best I could driving 40 miles per hour with other cars around. When we reached the intersection, I kept saying, "something's not right, that's so weird". We weren't moving as we waited for the light. It was just in the one spot. The light didn't move or waver. And it was not a measly light. It is what I would expect to see and have seen on a helicopter. We could tell something was there, but the light was pointed in our direction, so we couldn't make out a specific shape. When we crossed over to the other side of Golden Triangle (still traveling on N. Riverside Dr.), we were looking at it and we realized it was an airplane with the cockpit facing toward us. it looked like a typical passenger airplane--but not quite full-size. It was low enough, I could see the pilot's window, but am not sure that I could see the pilot specifically. It did not move, as a matter of fact it did not make any noise, but the light was as bright as you would expect to see on the front of a plane. The tires were not down. We could see the left wing and the tail, but I could not see the other side wing. There were no distinct markings on it--we are close to where UPS, FedEx etc fly in so I am familiar with their logos. There is a billboard around the corner from it, and I would say it couldn't have been much higher than the billboard. We could see the dimensions to it, the rounded underside, etc.--it was not flat, like the billboard. My son and I kept looking, me the best as I could while not hitting anyone around me. No one slowed down. No one was pulled over. Be we could see this plane just "there". There was nothing in front, behind or on either side, we could see the ground under it. It was just before a patch of trees. Once we got 20-30 feet past the trees, we could not see it anymore, I assumed because of the trees, but my son who could turn around said it was just gone. There was nothing in my mirrors. We kept on to our destination which took us about 30 min and then we came back the same way and there was nothing. Nothing in the air. Nothing on the ground. No people standing or anything. So strange. I drive by there on some of my regular routes and in daylight, I see nothing. My husband said maybe it was a blimp or balloon. Blimps still make noise, and we didn't have the radio on and heard absolutely nothing. Had it not been for the light that I was looking at from Timberland BLVD to Golden Triangle, I would not have thought a single thing about it. I probably wouldn't have noticed it at all. Or if it been in a slightly different spot, I would have gone on thinking it was a helicopter. Sound-wise, it was just flat if that makes sense. I didn't feel anything odd other than slightly confused-excitement at whatever that was. Looking at the questions below, again, I can't say for sure that I saw into the pilots' window, but I feel like I saw a shape that was kind of olive khaki--like a shirt, not necessarily skin color, but who knows. The plane itself was light blue or silver on the top half, the wind was a slightly darker blue. The light was so bright is caused a slight haze/glow, like how a light pole hazes the items around. Oddly there were no birds that I noticed and there are usually birds everywhere--however, I may have just missed it because of my focus on the "thing".

I was outside with my daughter, I happened to glance up at the sky, staring toward the east I noticed briefly a bright orange circular light, fade away in the same location it didn’t move it just faded out. It was larger than I have seen the moon most days. I told my daughter, who was standing next to me at the time, what I saw ,but she didn’t notice it when I asked her.

I’m an amateur photographer, and was noting how cool the hole in the sky looked. I started snapping pictures, when I saw 3 faint lights in the clouds, seeming to keep form for several minutes. I will include the original photo, and then the one I use filters to enhance to bring out the light. It was then, with the additional contrast, that I noticed the triangular form, as well. Freaky.

Bluish-white sphère about 2’ in diameter travelling 200 degree bearing. Moving at high rate of speed, approx 700-1000 ft. Winds were out of the north at ~10 knots. Only able to see it for a few seconds, lost it in the sun.. First thought was a helium balloon but moving way to fast for it to be a balloon.

Was in hot tub so didn't have phone/camera. Originally thought bird or garbage bag but as it came closer could tell it was going in a straight line path. Was black/round/orb not shiny, flat black. Was cloudy out but was flying under all clouds so visible entire time. Do not know size as was unsure how high up it was. When flew overhead there was no sound, trail of any kind, or wind.

Girlfriend and I were sitting on the deck, i was watching hawks in the sky to just above but to the south. In the background i saw an object appear from above the trees to the west, flying between 300-400 feet, about 300 yards to the south. I pointed it out to my girlfriend, who confirmed what i saw. It was mostly grey, with some black on top. It was about the size and sort of the shape of a subaru outback, without the whole front, hood and everything, maybe a bit wider. It was completely silent, had no wings, no props. It held an extremely steady flight, no wavering, very consistent.. it flew to the east, maintaining speed and altitude, eventually we couldn't see it anymore.

3:40 am, looking west northwest notice intermittent bright white on object at aporoximately 10,000 ft altitude ( we constantly get a lot of Ohare airport traffic overhead here in the Chicagoland area and become a pretty good judge of plane altitudes having seen them in all phases of approach and take off all my life and have flown extensively myself to Europe and Asia and Pacific) moving from west to east in a path that would've taken it right over the south portion of Ohare airport field. Silent with intermittent on/off bright white light that would move from side to side of object during off period. No port or starboard red or green lights, no under belly red light either. I could not discern a shape only intetmittent foreward facing very bright intermittent White light shifting from side side as it moved across the sky in about one minute or less time. If it was military it had no red or green lights but was being obvious about its presence - strange that it was not constant white light but instead on/off ftom side to side.

Saw many bright white orbs in the sky to our northeast appear for 20-30 seconds then disappear in the same general location, but happened for about 20-30 minutes with orbs appearing and disappearing throughout the duration. They were not in a line, sometimes staggered in pairs, and sometimes clustered in a group of 4-5. Most were moving from west to east. A few moved from south to north. Two orbs moved from east to west, stopped, then moved from west to east before disappearing. Some orbs did change directions in a curved looking movement upwards behind other orbs. They would appear, glow brightly, then disappear. There was no noise. We saw a similar thing to what appears on the show The Secrets of Skinwalker Ranch Season 3 Episode 10 at the 31:00 minute mark of the episode, but saw it on a much grander scale. Also saw a shooting start very near where the orbs were disappearing. My wife and I both saw the orbs, although I saw more than her. I woke her up to show her what was going on. The orbs came in from a few different locations but all disappeared in the same general location near the 15 Andromedae star from our view point. I would guess we saw 15 to 20 orbs appear and disappear. Most were bright white, but it did appear some had flashing red and green lights similar to an airplane, but those too disappeared like all the other orbs. We did eventually see an airplane track through the location, but were able to continuously see the airplane move through the sky and not disappear like the white orbs did.

I work 3rd shift for the State Military Reservation in Concord NH I noticed a strange light phenomenon in the sky over the SMR heading toward West End of Concord. A ovular craft that had red and white lights flashing across its midsection in what appeared to be a sequence kept lowering itself closer to the ground. It started at plane level aprox. 30 thousand feet, it dropped to where it could be easily seen by my friend with really bad eyesight. The craft appeared to be suffering from some kind of malfunction because twice it went fully perpendicular and several molten pieces fell off from the craft, I'm not sure if they burned up in the atmosphere but it wasn't looking good.

Driving south bound on i435, between Platte county and wolcott, I saw about 9-10 hovering objects with about a mile between each one. They were very low, hovering just about the height of the trees in the area. Each had very bright unblinking white lights and fainter red and green blinking lights. No movement and no noise.
