At approximately 9:21 p.m. my girlfriend and myself went to take out the garbage. The sun was set but it was still a little daylight. She noticed what she thought was a bright colorful star. After watching it for a while she went inside and I continued to watch. As I watched I realized that this object was a lot smaller than what it appeared to be the closer it came the dimmer the light got. Out of my peripheral I noticed another smaller object to this objects left approaching in the same manner. Then there was a larger one that displayed the most beautiful brightest colors that never left it's location in the sky. It kind of just bobbed around up there. The others slowly in a floating manner proceeded to the water tower. In about an hour there was at least 5 orb like objects hovering over and around the water tower. They were mostly silent other than random high-pitched yips here and there. The neighboring dogs were going crazy barking at them.Their lights would dim out at approaching vehicles. They looked to be analyzing/ searching the water tower. They have been back The past 3 nights same time same location.

I was dropping off cardboard at a recycling bin & I noticed a set of glowing reddish to white flashing lights. The sky was clear over Lake Erie & the lights caught my attention. I have lived in the area over 5 years and have used this location for over 2 years. I never saw these lights before. I then drove over to the park and watched these lights for about 3 minutes before the lights disappeared. I stayed there for about 2 minutes waiting for them to reappear, they did not. I went home, less than a 1/2 mile away. Approximately 30 minutes later I heard the unmistakable sound of a USCG Helicopter.

I was outside speaking with a neighbor when our attention was immediately drawn to the sky because we heard the sound of a military jet screaming just overhead the jet had to have been using his afterburner it was so loud we both looked up but did not see jet due to trees in our yard covering the sky I moved to my tree lawn and had a perfect view of the sky which was clear and temperatures were reaching 60 F. I now could see the Jet clearly coming from the North heading Southwest then I Noticed another higher in the sky coming from the Southwest as the two converge I clearly saw a perfect circle it was crystal clear as the jets approached each other the Circle just immediately disappeared extremely quickly. The circle appeared as the jets approached then it was gone. I said to my neighbor did you see that ? He did not due to where he was standing and did not have a clear view but I did it was extremely incredible. No question on what I viewed. The circle was perfect in dimensions the color was like a high grade silver with a polyurethane high gloss finish.

After being stalked and encountering with this type entity I realized the whole time it has been coming from the sky. I would first see a craft shaped like a boomerang way up in the sky and sometimes a bit lower in the sky. There is this large craft with many lights, rather large and then there are smaller ones with a distinctive shape and these crafts follow me everywhere I go, its like they know when I am going to leave my home because it would be waiting outside my home for me to come out. There were or sometimes would be many of these small aircrafts which tends to look like stars but is a bit different than a star. This here information is going to sound rather or a bit crazy but there are some type of shadow or light flickering people,, things or whatever they are that I see. They tend to follow me where ever I go and I believe they hear everything I say. I have encountered many problems from this entity, its like they are invisible but their shape is kind of seen even tho they are invisible. They roam through my house and would be in my car somehow. I have no clue what I am reporting about, all I know is there is always these aircrafts following me and it seems like they beam something down on my vehicle from the sky and there would be one to five shadows of them in my car. I know this sounds a bit far fetched but this shit is really happening around me. I have seen different type faces and in the beginning I saw a rather large being that had the face and eyes of an alien but I wasnt sure what I was seeing; all I know is, I am tired of being subjected by them they involve themselves in my everyday life and every time I leave my house they follow me. The whole thing puzzles me because there is also a helicopter involved somehow cause whenever I get to where I am going the helicopter show up and fly over my car during the day but at night is when the boomerang type aircrafts come out and follow me along with this kind of big craft with many lights follow me along with some other strange type crafts that are very bright lighted with an odd shape. I know this all sounds confusing, mind you it all is confusing for me and unbelievable! but this goes on in my everyday life from the minute I wake up to the time I fall asleep, which is very annoying and stressful. I'm not sure if Columbus, Ohio official have any inkling of what fly around in their skies at night, starting the minute dark hits and it is many of them. You never see them during the day but they always come out at night. I'm not joking or just making something up, this shit is really happening and I don't know what to do because it is targeting me on a constant basis and they never let up and never give me a break. This thing here that has been happening needs to be investigated although I believe they have many techniques to cover themselves to not get caught or even for someone to see them because they hear everything, see everything and know how to make themselves unknown. There is more to this report that I have to say but so far I don't think anyone would believe this, of what I'm reporting. Hell! I don't believe it, but its definitely been happening and at one point in the beginning of this turmoil I thought I was going to lose my mind because they hunted me daily. There are many things I can tell in this report but much of it is unbelievable, I say this to myself all the time. I want my privacy back and want this invasion to go away. I don't know who or what could help me but I am tired of it. I came to believe it is aliens when I first realized all the shadowy stuff and faces were coming from the sky. The things I have seen and encountered with this entity has not been nice,, not at all. I do not know who to turn to about this or in fact if anyone could stop this from happening because around me. The main thing is the following and harboring over where I live in the sky, beaming something or someone into my home where my daughter, husband and I live. It took me awhile to decide to do this report because I never thought anyone would believe me. I live in the Redwood Apartments in Pickerington Ohio off Refugee rd. To sum this all up, I do not know if these are aliens I am encountering or what but I'm needing to be free of it all. Columbus, Ohio need to check out their skies at night and find out what are these objects flying around their skies. I need to find out why they are hovering around me 24/7. The main thing is who or what are they, where they come from etc.... and why are they after me all the time. This maybe something no one could ever solve or find out what they are and where they come from. There is more to this report but I am tired and know that they are right here watching me write this report to you all and I dont know, it may not even get to you because they are also hacked into my phones, computers and tv's, its like a nightmare.

Rutland, OH
On 15 Feb. 2022, time approximately 10:45 pm - 11:15 pm. In Rutland, Meigs County, Ohio. We were standing in driveway and noticed some sort of UFO hovering over the wood line. It slowly started moving toward us flying really low at approximately 60 or 70 feet above our heads. It was Black in color and it was Triangular shaped. It almost made no noise besides a slight humming noise. The UFO had I believe 3 yellow lights that I was able to see. When I typed in the description of the UFO it said that it was the Tr3b Black Manta. And it matched description. This is the 2nd one that I have seen. First one I had seen was during the summer of 2015 in Indiana. And it flew slowly above my head at about 100 feet or less.

My kids and I went outside to play in a large snow pile I had plowed on our driveway a couple day’s before. It was right after dusk so I gave my kids flashlights to play in the snow tunnels they had previously made and I sat in the snow supervising their safety. It was very cold but high pressure so the sky was perfectly clear and I was enjoying the sky. My son sat next to me so I could adjust his hat and right as I went to adjust his hat I saw something moving in the sky to the west heading east. It had a fairly bright intensity of white light, slightly brighter than a star and was moving slow like when’s you see something in a polar orbit like a satellite. As it moved to the right of my viewing location it began to sparkle like maybe it was entering the atmosphere. After a second or two the sparkling stoped and it continued to move at the same speed and direction for another few seconds before there was a flash and two perfectly identical circular but slightly smaller objects with lesser light intensity were jettisoned behind the primary object and outwards at the exact time. The smaller objects quickly lost intensity and speed as the they separated and the primary objects continued on the same trajectory until it disappeared at the horizon. Myself, my son, and daughter all saw the objects.

One orb came into view, at first I thought it was a bird then another came into view and drastically changed direction as the dirt orb continued on in a straight direction. After losing sight of both the second orb reappeared as the first orb came back into view the the direction it had disappeared. After coming into close proximity of each other they flew off in a straight north west direction.

Akron, OH
Was taking trash out and noticed a bright light in the sky. Looked up and thought it was a helicopter. Did not notice movement at first. Was in the north northeast part of the sky. Slowly moved in a generally west or southwest direction. Went in the house to get people to come and see it, they witnessed it as well but it had moved much further away and wasn’t as visible. The object was generally spherical but you could not focus on details of the object. It looked like a cloud or fog surrounded the object. It was self illuminated but, it didn’t seem to be reflecting light. The color was a bright white almost bluish with a slight purplish or red hue, but faint. Tried to drive to get a better view but never saw it again. The sky was completely clear, no high level clouds and no fog in the area that evening. There was no noise associated with the object. Could not tell if the object was very large and far away or smaller and closer. Was not starlink or space station, moved in the opposite direction of satellites/ISS. Was not a Chinese lantern. SpaceX launched that night but we are too far north to have seen anything associated with the launch.

It was about 5 to 6 AM around the Last week of January when I had heard a crash sound out side about 5 to 10 minutes later I look outside west of where I heard the crash. Since I live near the airport I first thought what I was looking at was a very low flying plane over the top of a tree three doors up from my location. Then I realize the vehicle was not moving and the bottom of it was covered with LED lights with two strobe light north and south from my viewing angle. Each time a plane flew over head the vehicle would strobe then went totally dark, then the LED light would come back on until the strobe would repeat again. Sorry for not have any pictures I was just too surprised to see an object that close up that the last thing I thought about was grabbing my phone that was just a few feet away. Instead I was trying to get my wife to the window. Like I said I thought it was an low flying jetliner but wasn’t moving just sitting over the top of a tree. Roughly about a little more than a 100 feet from my location exactly 3 house west on the North side of the street. I only saw part of the bottom and the back of the vehicle that made no sound but it was huge that much I could tell since it was winter and no leaves on the tree. When my wife came to the window and I stepped away is when it moved but as long as I was at the window for almost 10 minute it didn’t move whatsoever. Having passenger jets fly over or near my home is common, to see something this low was not. Am an Air Force Veteran of SAC of the Cold War and being stationed where KC 135 and B52 was there I was used to seeing military aircraft and since this was not my first time seeing something like this and this close just caught me off guard. In October 10, 1985 I picked up a Rental car at Charlotte Airport around 7PM and went North up I77 and before I Statesville NC a craft was hovering over my car when I noticed it it went Northeast after passing through Statesville it came back and hover over my car and again it moved Northeast after I notice it. This vehicle reminded me of the flying sub from Voyage to the bottom of the sea that was rust in color and blended into the night sky. Also was a third case in 1977 but that's for another time.

My boyfriend and I saw two triangular shaped objects traveling south above us. They had three lights in the shape of a triangle and there were two. They were moving so fast and got so close to each other in complete silence. I’ve seriously never seen anything move the way they were moving in my life. They were probably as high up as an airplane when you can still see it all the way and they were at least the size of a plane. I don’t even know how to explain it they were moving so weird, quick and hovering kind of. It was like the 3 lights weren’t in a perfect triangle they were moving separately together in the shape of a triangle. The way the objects moved is nothing like I’ve ever seen before. No plane could move this fast, has this shape and is able to move the way these objects were moving. It was like something out of a movie and one of those things you have to see to believe. The lights were brighter at first but faded as they moved. The lights were a dim white. They just looked like little metal saucers and they weren’t blinking. They flew south over us for a second or two and then disappeared. I am the last person to believe in UFOs, I’ve never believed the stories I read but there is nothing else this could have been. It was mind blowing and it happened so fast. It was something I really wish I could have caught on camera because it sounds unbelievable when I say it out loud. I’ve never seen anything like it in my life.

I saw one bright orange flashing object kind of spinning like a satellite looks, only much closer to earth than normal. It appeared to be moving southwest and upwards away from me then a second exact same size and color object appeared also moving the same direction. There was no sound coming from the objects. Then they appeared to disappear. I did see what appeared to be a normal modern plane flying into the area where the orange flashing objects were at the end of the clip of my second video.

My mother and I were driving home from my stepfathers calling hours. The gray sky opened in the middle and the sun came out. I pulled over and took a picture because I’ve never seen anything like it. At one point I asked my mom, “how can the sun and moon be right beside each other like that”? I pulled over again twice taking pictures because of what was going on in the sky. It all went away just as fast as it came out and the sky closed back up. When I turned the live pictures from my IPhone into short videos, there was a green moving orb or disk that we were not seeing move with the naked eye.

Around 6:35 PM as I got in to my car leaving Men's Warehouse at Easton Mall in Columbus, I noticed multiple bright red lights (approx 20 total) moving across the sky coming from the West, moving Southeast. I hung up with my mother whom I was talking to when I noticed the lights and starting filming at 6:39 PM. They were moving at a moderate pace and appeared to be moving in the same direction. A few of them were clustered in triangle shapes and one of them came close overhead but was not illuminated. The shape was about 50 feet above me, it was a dark gray oval and made no sound, my camera could still pick it up against the dark sky. My original video was too big so I had to lower rez to 185 MB, I have a 452 MB version if needed. I looked to see if there were any holiday festivals or light shows tonight and was not able to find anything in my area. Found out Chinese New Year isn't until mid Feb 2022 and the oval shape seemed inconsistent with Chinese lanterns.

Was driving southbound when I saw strange lights get very bright in a rectangular pattern and disappear. I found it odd but kept driving south. About 10 minutes later a very bright light appeared with 3 to 4 more lights moving in various patterns seemingly around the main bright light. Both incidents only lasted a matter of seconds.

I was walking to my house from my car and I looked up at the sky. After a few seconds I saw what looked like a shooting star. I’ve seen many shooting stars before so I know what they look like but after a second I realized it was moving in a weird way. The star was moving along a slight curve instead of a straight line. It direction it was moving also seemed unnatural but was almost unnoticeable at first glance. It looked like it was at more of an airplane leven than a shooting star level in the sky. Before I was able to process that something was off, the star took a sharp dip and seemingly bounced in the shape of a check mark and quickly sped off in a direction away from me and the light disappeared with it.

We were coming home on our road and spotted several small blinking light across the sky. They were moving around in the sky. We have lived in this rural area and have never seen anything like it. Then there was a larger one that seemed closer and was bigger. If you look close you can briefly see smaller lights blinking around it also

I'm a freelance artist. Been living here for 30 years. A few military installations are nearby. Lots of C-130s. Back in '92, there was a mass sighting in my county. A police chase was the focal point of it. In the afternoon preceding these events, I was outside doing chores and having a smoke. The wind was powerful and was blowing a range of clouds all about. There's a clearing across from my home, andI was admiring the way the shadows were moving. Then, the shadows parted in such a way that it looked manufactured. I thought to myself, "Man, seems like good cover for UFOs n such." when the weather is wild. I went out to have a cigarette later that day. Facing North, I see some sort of aircraft rising at a steep angle, obscured by what trees remain from the housing developments. It turns left, heading south. It remained hard to make out until it passed out of my periphery; lots of trees. It was indeed triangular in shape. No sound, no lights, same color as the sky. A mix of streetlights and moonlight. Crystal clear night. I went inside to get mittens and returned moments later. I lit another cigarette and gazed up at a satellite that happened to cut right along my roofline. Totally normal, save for the orange ball bouncing about it. It felt playful; mocking the satellite it seemed. Those two events took about 20 minutes. No more than 10 more minutes pass when I see a brilliant white light coming from the East way above me heading West. Then, it dropped suddenly, hundreds if not thousands of feet until it was tugged back upwards, as if on a fishing line. It began to bob and drift out in front of me(facing North). It was triangular in form, one prominent strobing light on the "back" of it. Like a game of Pong, bouncing back and forth. The shape of the craft was triangular, reminiscent of a futuristic race car to me. I could perceive no sound. It drifted off back East, and up a forested hill. The next night, 2 AM. I'm having a smoke. I gaze up to the left. I see the shade of an aircraft, one red and one white light. I think nothing of it. That is until the lights jettisoned off in opposite directions, and the craft carrying on through the dark.

Star lit night. I was looking at venus and jupiter. I saw what looked like an interrupted contrail illuminated by the stars. Looking closer it was a series of lights moving in unison. I snapped a picture and tried to video, but the lights just disappeared. The picture shows the lights in a line You can blow the picture up to see it better. I didn’t want to change the original by blowing it up myself [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Certain]

My eldest daughter was visiting my in-laws with several of her siblings, when they spotted approximately 3 dozen lights flying across the sky in a tight, linear formation. Other lights circled around the formation in every direction. She took two, short videos of the event. Then, after the formation of lights disappeared in the distance, another cluster of lights appeared about 10 minutes later. Before she could shoot video of those lights, they shot off in every direction at a high rate of speed. None of the objects made any noise. Some of the lights travelled in rapidly changing directions, and when they dispersed, it was nearly instantaneous. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Certain]

object more than 1,000' long x 20'wide (maybe more it was immense), straight row of lights in a pattern of dots and dashes down the spine (but not exactly a dot dash pattern just closest I can describe to the pattern), approached then hovered over us. Strange mechanical (?) noise above. Lights slowly went out from one end to the over, shape disappeared with the lights. Noise is still on going as I type. We have a large outdoor patio with a 12' tall stone wood fired oven decorated across the dome of the oven with Christmas lights in a white diamond pattern. It has attracted aerial drones, small personal planes and the like before, but we've never seen anything like this. Just trying to cook pizza for dinner. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Certain]
