My attention was caught by a blinking light that presents on the left, top portion of my (attached) video. The light was blinking but also bouncing around in space in a localized area in about one second intervals and with no seeming pattern or succession. Then a lower second UAP appeared on the bottom right hand side of the video and it looked like it had "white exhaust" intermittently spewing from it, which did not appear to be completely attached to the UAP. Then, when I slowed down my video and took screenshots of different frames of the video, it looks like this (bottom) UAP was rotating in space doing multiple somersaults causing the UAP to "shapeshift". This UAP first ascended slowly and then eventually swooped up higher into the sky more suddenly like it had gained momentum. I took zoomed in photos of some frames in the video that show more detail. It looks look "a mothership" spawning UAP's. It looked like the UAP would split into two or something would spawn from it which started out as a single light being spawned and later turned into two lights. If you have access to technology where you can view the video slower frame by frame it might show more related detail. Due to the quantity limitation of submitted pictures, I wasn't able to post a picture where it actually looks like the UAP turns into a pair of lit up "skis" that are two straight lines that start ascending higher, the UAP turns into a ballish shape and then it turns into the pair of "skis" again as it swoops up seemingly toward the blinking light. Sidenote, if you ever need a remote employee there I would love to be considered! [NUFORC annotation: Aircraft - Probable]

Everett, WA
After dropping off a friend at his house in northern Everett, WA, while still sitting in my car, I saw the objects through my open window towards the south. There were three bright white lights in the sky approximately 35-40 degrees above the horizon. The three lights were in a non-equilateral formation and slowly moving independently of each other. They were much brighter and larger in the sky than any star, planet, or satellite I have seen. Based on the brightness and apparent distance, they seemed too close together to be landing lights on three separate planes and too far apart to be lights from a single plane. They also did not resemble flares in any way. I watched them for about 1-2 minutes before pulling away and for some odd reason I did not think to take a photo or a video. Once I got home, I saw on Facebook that 2 other people who live in the area saw the exact same objects and one of those people took a good video of the objects while driving in the same area that I had been in when I saw them. After thinking for awhile at home, I remembered that about 30 more to an hour before the sighting, I had been sitting in a church in downtown Everett, WA and I had heard the sound of a distant military jet. It stood out to me because I am in that area a lot and I have never heard any kind of plane in that area before. Some additional information about me: - I have spent many years enjoying recreational astronomy. I am familiar with stars, planets, etc. - I have previously witnessed many satellites in the sky including StarLink satellites. - I grew up right next to an airport with flights coming and going directly over my house just above the tree tops. - I have spent years educating myself about the space and aviation industry. I am pretty capable of identifying aircraft and rocket launches. Note: Attached photos are extracted from a video taken by another nearby observer within minutes of my sighting of the same objects.

I was walking my dog in the Woodcreek North neighborhood with my wife around 8pm. We heard a LOUD helicopter flying overhead which is common in the area, but this one was much larger than any I have seen and a lot louder. It was too dark to make out if it was military or not, but my hunch is that it was. Way out in front of the helicopter was a glowing orb (amber in color) just flying, not blinking. The helicopter was in steady pursuit but not gaining on it. We watched for a good two minutes until both were out of sight. The objects were probably about 1,000 feet in elevation.

Driving south on 4910 E County Rd 64 and suddenly a light appeared several hundred to thousand feet above me. My windows were up and I was unable to hear anything audibly. Also, there was no visible lights leading up to this point and I had been on the road for 1/2 mile, since the nearest exit (278). The light instantly travelled in the straightest of lines thousands of feet to a couple of miles before turning off or disappearing. All of this took place in less than 2 seconds. I've seen hundreds of shooting stars and this was nothing like it. I jokingly told myself it was a farmer with a drone observing his fields. After dinner, I found articles talking about the mystery lights in Eastern Colorado that people have been reporting. I've only lived her for 2 months, so I had never heard of such. One of the articles mentioned this web site and I am her to make a report. There is no way this was a shooting star or a drone based off of current known technologies due to the speed it traveled.

I don’t think they were airplanes, but there were many lights above the horizon moving individually. It wasn’t close to the airport, and there were planes I could see around.

Between 5:35pm and 5:38pm on 11/08/2023, I noticed an airplane flying across the sky. It was to the Northeast of me and was flying South-Southwest across the sky. It appeared to be a commercial Southwest brand airplane. I then noticed a smaller object in the sky that was maybe the size and shape of a matchbox held far away. It was glowing white in color, with a slight bright yellow hue to it. As the plane appeared to be flying Southwest, the object appeared to be flying towards the plane from the Northwest in a Southeastern direction, and appeared to almost intersect with the airplane at one time. It looked like they crossed the same point in the sky from my eye line, but the object appeared to be much further away than the airplane. Not more than a couple minutes later, I noticed another bright object of similar shape and color flying in the same path as the previous object. They both appeared to get smaller as they flew into the Southeastern sky until they were no longer visible. I had eyes on each for less than a minute with a clear blue sky and no cloud blocking the view. At 5:45 I noticed I spotted the third object flying across the sky from the same origin and direction as the previous two objects. The difference was I didn’t notice any lights coming from it at all. It appeared to be black or dark brown in color. I could see it in full view when it was directly east of me, and I could not notice a single light or anything. It was flying too high, too fast, and too far away to be a bird, but that is the best way to describe it, almost like a triangular sparrow disappearing into the horizon. It followed the same flight path as the previous objects I had spotted. The closest object I can compare the black object to in shape and size would be Batman’s black bat-shaped throwing knife he shoots out of his suit. About the size of a small pocket knife but more triangular in shape. Each object was observed with light still in the sky just before sunset. I did not notice any trails of light or smoke behind each of the objects.

I came out this morning around 4:20am looked up and saw a bright light shining to the right of our moon, it seemed strange at the time because it was brighter than the actual moon which was only a quarter of a the moon shining this morning. Watched it for 1 hour no movement so I decided to take a photo. When I zoomed in I saw the imagine posted. Thought it would be interesting to share. [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Probable]

The object seemed to drop straight down from high above the sky. It seemed closer to me at first, but as it slowly moved & rotated,& its lights began to rotate & flash, it became clear the object was massive & just seemed closer. Each large bright white light rotated in various directions. It had 2 beams of light that darted around downward & turned on & off. After about 20 minutes, it began to lift up farther into the sky & then swooped upward. It then shot straight up into the sky towards the atmosphere & disappeared.

I was walking my dog down the sidewalk, around 12:40 am. I’m not sure of the exact time, but it was at some point between 12:30 and 12:50. The light was oval-shaped, but it was more like 2 curved lines that didn’t quite meet at the north and south ends. I was startled by how fast it was, faster than a commercial airplane. Within less than three seconds, the light was past my point of view. It also seemed too close to the ground, maybe a bit above the cloud line, to be a satellite. It was fairly cloudy, but not overcast, and all I could see of the object was the light. It was also quite windy, so I’m not sure if it made any sound. The light itself was a soft white, with a hint of yellow. It reminded me of a ring light, in terms of its brightness. It moved straight from north to south, until I couldn’t see beyond the tree line in the neighborhood. I’m not sure of its exact size, because I couldn’t tell how far away it was, but I would guess about the size of a plane. As for my own background, I’m a 30 year old woman. I wasn’t tired when this occurred, since I’m used to being up late, and I was sober.

My wife and I were getting ready to go to bed, and she was at the kitchen sink getting some water when she looked out the window and saw a very large object with extremely bright white light in the SE up above over our neighbors farm. We went and got the binoculars, I could see it was disk shaped and it had one large white light in the center and 2 or 3 smaller lights to the left & right next to the large middle light. There was also occasionally a very small faint white-blue flashing and faint reddish flashing lights too. It appeared to hovered and would very slowly move up and down and east and west several times. I watched it until 1am then went to bed. She watched it until 2am then went to bed with it still there in the sky.

On Thursday, November 6th, 2023, I was asleep around 11:00 pm when I was awakened, unknown if this event is what woke me up. Because I was awakened, I went to the restroom, which is connected to my bedroom. The toilet in the bathroom has a window that is able to see an open field, my driveway, the main road, the house next door, and the construction site that is in front of my house. While using the restroom, I noticed what I thought to be movement at the construction site, which is lit up by a pole light. Because my phone camera is better than my eyes, I went to go get my phone that was sitting beside my bed. I came back into the toilet area and started recording the construction area in case there was actually something there that I couldn’t see or in case there was some vandalism going on, which I would check with the site manager in the morning. (Video #1 - 6:21 minutes). Meanwhile, on the northern, left side of my bathroom window these purple orb lights started going off and rotating in a circular motion. There were 3-4 in a cluster, plus 1 in the sky. These purple lights would actually black out and disappear, but then when they would reappear, there would be a fewer number of them, and they would be split apart and closer to my camera. By the time the video is over, you can see these purple, orb-like lights actually shooting electricity between them, almost like sharing energy in order to maintain its presence. Once the lights have narrowed down to only two existing lights, you can see that the purple lights turn to white and then there is a single red light. Eventually, you can see that these lights disappear altogether into the pitch blackness of the night into the same direction that they came from. (Video #2 - 10:19). I have contacted the local police department and the local FAA office, which tell me that these two videos should be reported to you in particular because they are unaware of any device that matches this criteria. They have these videos sent to them through email.

I am a police officer and deputy sheriff. While on duty after dark, near the top of my windshield (frame of view) I witnessed movement in the sky (southbound direction of view). Upon concentrating my focus, viewing through the low light, I was able to make out a triangle craft, with 3 dim green lights per side (just bright enough to assess size, shape, and movement). The craft moved to my right (westbound). Due to tree coverage, I lost sight of it quickly, to which I never located it again, maintaining visual contact for less than 10 seconds. While it appeared very low, it is difficult to determine distance, size, and speed, given the relationship between those factors. I did not hear any noises, however I was at speed on the roadway inside a vehicle. I am privy to what helicopters and airplanes look like in the sky, frequently working alongside medical flight crews in the area, and where nearby airports are, making me somewhat familiar with common areas of the sky in which low air travel is common. This was unlike anything I had ever witnessed. It should also be noted, that within approximately one hour of my sighting, I responded to a call from a homeowner reporting hearing something running outside of his home, to which he stated did not sound like an animal. The callers’ residence was in the direction from which the object came when I witnessed it, as the crow flies, in a heavily wooded and forested area. There were no other similar or relevant calls, and no reported sightings through our 911 center.

UFO appeared as a slow shooting star just outside of orbit, then realized it was UFO by its zigzag pattern. I flashed SOS to ship multiple times. It disappeared after 45 sec going south. Then reappeared east beginning to flash its external light in response to my flashlight it was now bigger as It was closer slightly. Like a passenger plane it remained zigzagging and then shot off at the speed of light south. Leaving a trail of light for half a second.

Craft hovering further than airplane distance. Would change shape from round to oval. I thought it was Space X, but there was no trail. The craft started to drop small lights which quickly disappeared. I then thought it might me a meteorite, but it remained in the same spot for 15mins, finally disappearing.

On a Sunday evening I was setting on my couch in the Livingroom, and I hear a loud sound over my head but didn't think any more about it. Later on, that same night around 3:30am I started to experience strong things happening in my bedroom like the light go off and on. Around 2:30am I thought I was dreaming I woke up looks and it was something setting on my bed. It was black with pointed ears I thought it was my dog and I say what are doing in here it jumps off the bed and went under it I got up and turn on the light and looks under my bed and I didn't see anything. Much later I was waked by a sound of beeping look on the wall and seen this object that looks like a shadow has a green light around at that time I seen it face and head. What I saw was white head with big eyes and a body that was tall and very longer, hands look like a web with fingers. And all of this I had seen in the dark I was so afraid of what I seem I just wrote it off as a dream. From that time till now I experience things in my bed like something in my mattress moving around and touch my feet. I called the police and told them that something was in my house upstairs, they came out and didn't go up there they just used their lights to look and told they told me that they didn't see anything. I went to bed and same thing happened again. I turn off the light and seem this face and head on the wall and ceiling. I am so afraid to sleep in my bedroom. Please help me. All of these things are going on at my house. I can tell you more if you call me.

Had arrived outside my home at roughly 8:26 or 8:27pm on November the 5th, 2023. I had parked my car in the street, with the driver's side facing South. I had gathered my things and stepped outside my vehicle. When I closed the door, I had been facing south. A single, large orb of white light was spotted in the Southeast, above a neighbor's house. It appeared to be stationary. The orb then began to travel east, accelerating as it did. The object then made a fish hook maneuver down and then towards the West before vanishing from sight. There were no other witnesses present, and the entire event lasted less than a minute in length. Other than the sight of the object and the fish hook path it took, nothing else was deemed unusual. Observer is a white male, in his early 30s. Does not have superstitious or supernatural proclivities. Has observed meteorological phenomenon in area before; including comets, meteor showers, and a shooting star. There are also several airports in the region, as well an FAA tech center. There is also occasional air traffic from Coast Guard aircraft.

While driving towards Worthington Springs, FL from Lacrosse, FL with my husband, at 7:52pm, I noticed 2 bright, warm white lights in the sky. I compared it to headlights on a close hill, as it appeared much nearer than planets, stars, planes, etc. I had my husband pull up plane finder to see if any planes/helicopters were the culprit as we do have a nearby airport(but this still would have been very low for a plane.) I knew it was either stationary or moving towards us, as I couldn't see any movement. My husband took pictures but they are poor and do not show the formation. There is no cell tower in this area either. I lost sight of it behind the trees for a bit, then saw it again over a field. Here, I was able to get a view from the underside. (Horrible sketch attached.) It was 3 large, white, warm toned lights in a triangle formation, with smaller lights speckled about, all the same color. It was dark surrounding all these lights, but I cant tell you for certain that this was "a craft" as opposed to a product of my mind. I did understand it to be such. This did not look like any aircraft we know of or could Google. It appeared to be slowly moving in the direction we came from at this point. I kept driving and lost sight again, never seeing it cross the road in my rear view mirror. This object also did not have any sound and was visible for 4 minutes without much movement. It was definitely larger over the field, but we were driving toward it, so it's hard to tell what the movement distance/speed really was. It began about penny size then was golfball at second appearance. It was no longer there on our trip back ~20 minutes later. I will attach a picture from when we first saw it, but it isn't worth anything as it just appears as a blob of white light. (You will see two poles on the side of the road, mid photo. Look immediately above those. Other lights visible are reflections from my dash.) Terrible sketch shows the underside(I originally tried to draw it at an angle, like I saw it, but I can't.) I tried to illustrate the darkness around the lights. The positioning is all accurate. Feel free to text me about this. I'm not putting "I'd like to be contacted" because I feel like that's a waste of your time, but if you need anything, message me.

On Sunday, November 5, 2023, at 6:20 pm (pst), I was about to make a left turn from a busy strip mall parking lot onto a residential street in a neighborhood that is located in the middle of San Diego, California. When I turned my head to see if the road was clear, I noticed what appeared to be 5 bright white shining lights over to my left approximately 720 feet above my head. At first, I thought they were street lights. When I quickly realized they were not, I reached for my phone that had been setting in the console next to me and I snapped photos. These orb like objects didn't move. Nor did they didn't emit sound, or beams of light. I sat staring at them for a minute or three as they continued hovering motionless above my head. I looked around and I yelled out my window to a couple who were standing at their car, 'do you see that?' and 'hello, anybody see what's going on over here?' The people were oblivious to everything going on around them. The two drunk individuals that could be heard screaming at each other from across the parking lot didn't see the orbs either. Neither did the person I just cut off to snap photos. I thought I was the only one who could see them. After reading some of the posts here on this site, I discovered I am not the only one to have witnessed this fascinating phenomena. Just 9 days before, on October 27, 2023, a woman who lives not more than 3 miles from where I was saw the orbs, witnessed the same thing. Although, the details of what she saw weren't exactly the same as what I had seen, it was close enough. She saw the orbs at around the same time as I had seen them (around 6:20 pm pst). She counted 5 orbs hovering above in the night sky, too. When I drove a block closer to where the orbs were hovering, They disappeared without a trace. In a blink of an eye, they were gone. I am left with wonder. Was it 5 orbs that I saw in the night sky or was it 1 extremely large craft in the shape of a triangle?

A large orb of light appeared in the sky to my left and was moving at an insanely fast speed in the same direction as me. It stopped in midair and stayed still for a second before turning to the right and continued on extremely fast without having to build speed. Was out of view after another 5 seconds.

There was one bright light, with 3 smaller lights on the horizon to the east. The smaller lights were up, down, side to side, crisscrossing each other. They Would be bright, then dim or disappear, then be seen in another part of the sky. Radios were staticy, animals going crazy, animal behaviours were different.
