I grabbed my binoculars after watching it for a minute and when I put my binoculars up it was a dull light (compared to the stars) continuing in a northern direction until it went behind the clouds. It was above an airplane traveling opposite direction about the same speed but twice as high as the airplane.

I am a United States Marine Corps 0311 infantry rifleman veteran. I was sitting on my back porch talking with my dad, girlfriend, and twin brother. I was looking across my yard and all of the sudden a classic upside-down bowl shaped craft caught my attention while it was flying across the sky. It was black on the bottom and the top half was what looked to be metallic and would reflect the sun very brightly because of an extreme wobble the craft had while flying. I watched it fly across the sky for about 12 seconds until I lost it behind a tree. I tried to get everyone's attention but only my twin looked. He didn't see it at first but the craft wobbling and reflecting the sun finally caught his eye. He saw it for about 3 seconds until it got hidden from veiw behind a tree. I did not feel afraid in anyway. I saw it clear as day and I know for a fact this is a UFO. This is the second one I've seen upclose in about a 7 month span. The first one was a day before Thanksgiving 2021 at dusk. I think they are observing me.

Sunny skies perfect visibility. Airplane in mid air passed a white round object. The object became 2 than 3 than 4 objects, same shape and color. They formed a triangle and straight line and moved around each other for a while. The objects disappeared moving straight up very quickly.

Employee of Facility. Was walking to a housing unit. There was a staff member holding the door for me, she says "hey what you think that is?" I turned around and looked up and observed a very bright shinny silver ball. Looked high up and was hovering but changing altitude. Would go high then lower. Then vanished after a minute or so. I was shocked. I kept looking up and observed a dark gray almost moon grey moving very high altitude but traveling across the sky quickly. I observed that for 20 seconds or so. I looked at the staff member I was with and said are you seeing this, she said oh my God yes. I looked back up and again observed a bright shinny object but it had shifted to another part of the sky and appeared to float up and down. For a couple minutes.

We were on our rooftop when we saw a bright light in the west horizon. This light moved slowly similar to a plane. My girlfriend asked what it was and I initially told her a plane. The bright light moved from west to east across the city skyline to the north. It continued across to our south east when we took notice that it was not a helicopter or drone and definitely not a plane. Three things we see a lot of from our deck. It didn’t have any sound but was close enough to mistake as a drone but far enough that you couldn’t make out a shape, other than the round sphere it was. Inside there were many colors ranging from green to purple to and deep blues to magenta even. This is when I started filming the object. Then the sphere changed forms to a gas, like a white smoke, circular in shape but not symmetrical boarders. Then back to a smaller sphere with color patterns on the inside. When I went to show my girlfriend the video I took. We both looked down for about 3 seconds at the phone and looked back up. Sure enough the light sphere was gone. I have a minute video of this.

I was out with my 13 inch dobsonian. It wasn't quite dark and I was looking for a star to adjust my scope on. I swung my scope to what I thought was a star but there were several objects. Most were pin points of light but one was cigar shapped. Well believe it or not I just heard and saw a report that the chinese ship fell to earth tonight and was seen. So thats what I think I saw. On the picture I submitted the booster is visible. The still doesn't do it justice. All the objects were moving but the cigar shapped object was spinning.

I was outside having a cig late at night, about 12 am. I noticed a "star" with an unusual flicker on the horizon that appeared to move rapidly then return to its current location when I focused on it. Believing this to be an optical illusion I began to adjust my height or my location along my patio to determine if the star like object was actually moving or not... during those moments when I was moving it seemed to mimick me as when I stopped it would stop as well. Finally I positioned myself so that the utility pole that was between me and it on the horizon obscured its view. Thinking that if it was stationary it would remain hidden.. after a few moments the object swung into my field of view and maintained visual contact with me all the while moving in ways impossible to conventional craft and completely silent. Realizing that this was a genuine ufo encounter I got my lighter out and begin to flicker it in patterns.. up then down or left to right and the orb of light would follow suit immediately afterwards. I did a circular motion with my lighter and it did the same. At this point I was overcome with a sense of wonderment, awe, and even fear that this thing was actually observing and reacting to me and I went in my house. But not before locking all my doors and bringing the dogs into the bedroom with my wife and myself. I stayed awake for several hours not comfortable sleeping when this "thing" was just apparently just a couple hundred yards from my house. (This is my third sighting within 2 days, but the most significant and longest lasting so it is the one I am including, prior to this weekend I have never seen a UFO before.

At the height of low flying airplane, one solid illuminated white orb travelled a steady and slow speed with no sound or blinking lights. This is the third time in the past three months we have witnessed this occurance. Twice it travelled east to west, once was north to south. Each occurance has been roughly a month apart and at night, roughly between the hours of 8:30pm and 11pm.

Was standing on my back deck looking up at clear sky, noticed white light drop down than move forward than disappeared, than it repeated but the next white light was just hair more forward and this kept on repeating like it was something bigger these were like marker lights on something massive, was stuck trying figure out what I was seeing so was unable get a video but whatever it was if it wasn’t one big craft than I would say total time I seen the light repeat would be between 8-10 before tried getting phone inside and 3 more times after came back out before lost sight over the houses and trees. All the lights were white round ball shaped lights and they did the exact same thing as in bigger craft moving.

I'm visiting my parents in their 55 and up community from NH. I was walking around the paved path that marks the perimeter and when I was on the far side from my parents, the west side, I saw a red dot moving silently north. I look away for a second and it was gone. As I continued I got closer to my parents place and up in the sky over the farm I see the light again, this time moving east to south. As it did it made a harder bank and came back at me, then almost immediately banked back around on its original heading. I looked down for 1 second and it was gone again. I could see and hear other aircraft in the area and I've worked on a flightline in the Air Force, I've never seen anything make that kind of maneuver that tight and not have strobes on it or make a sound and just be a small silent red dot in the sky over an Amish farm.

I live in a gated lake community, in a woodsy area, in Pensilvania. I was laying in bed, looking up at my skylight around 11pm but I am not 100% sure of the time. I saw one bright star. I thought maybe it was a planet because it was brighter than most stars. Then I saw it moving around slowly in an irregular way; nothing like a plane or a helicopter. It seemed far away. It stayed in the field of vision through my skylight even though it moved and darted a lot. It started darting around and then hovering like an insect or a humming bird. I started recording it with my phone. I recorded about 6 minutes of it, zooming in then out. I should have let the edges of the skylight show for context but I did not. It seemed to be circular/disk like object. Sometimes, it moved a lot, then it would stop. I tried to watch it until it went away but after about 30 minutes I fell asleep. I posted my video on the Facebook page for my housing community and two others, so far, said they also saw it. People that I show the video to seem fairly compelled by it. I can not answer the question of “did you lose time”, because I fell asleep before it went away. I don’t know if it made a sound because I was inside watching it and my air conditioner is noisy and was running. I regret not going outside. I have a pitting lesion, on my leg that looks like a cigar burn but I can’t honestly say that I’m positive it wasn’t there before. I hadn’t noticed it though. It looks like an old pit scar. Again, I can’t truly say that I know it’s related. I submitted the videos. Thank you for your time.

During the time of the event a friend of mine was sitting in the car vaping. He first noticed the lights in the sky flickering. At first he thought it was going to rain and it was lighting. The lights started blinking green and in a circled path. Thee craft tired to hide behind the clouds moments later, (I guess realizing opps we aren't behind the clouds anymore). The craft then darted in the northeast direction behind thin clouds. The craft started to light up in green again first it was lighting in a circular way, then they flashed all together! All week there have been sightings. We have pictures during the day, night, and at dusk. They look like bright stars in the sky twinkling and moving up down and side to side!!!!! The craft seemed to be blinking to communicating to each other! The last still photo is actually a video (for some reason I can't upload it). It shows the green lights flashing for about 10-15 mintues in the sky and moving! If you are to contact me I would be able to show the video! Thank you for your time!

I stepped outside to see how hot it was right before sunset , about 8:10 pm .I looked up and watched a plane make slight turn.The was coming towards me from the southwest when it made a left turn to head north. The plane had a short contrail so the path of the turn was clear. After the plane straightened out I noticed something going by in the opposite direction. It was highly reflective and appeared higher than the plane. I went inside to get the binoculars . I got back outside found the object and tried to focus the binoculars. It was a V heading south. The plane and the contrail where both white and now well to the North of the V. The V was thin compared to the thickness of the planes wings. It was highly reflective of the sun so it did seam to have a haze around it . I lost it in a small cloud but it would went behind a tree in a few seconds anyway.

Possibly 2 crafts..1 on top of the other..There appeared to be a bit of separation between the 2...Sighting lasted about 15 minutes.as it slowly continued..away..from my sight...No sound heard.. Flights landing at Philly International often fly low over our house..This was definitely not an airplane.

The past three nights. Each night. I was standing on my back porch and see many UAP in the night sky. They are not aircraft. They are stationary in some cases. Moving in other cases. The stationary UAP have a string of lights. They also appear to have a V shape string of lights. I know they are not stars. They are too high up to be helicopters. They sit there in the sky for long periods of time. I have graduate degrees in history and education. I am 54 years old. Male.

4 orbs flying north came in to veiw July 21 2022 @ approximately 930pm. 3 we're very visible making the belt of Orion, which is normally over my house. I was amazed at the sight until I saw them move. That's when I noticed the 4th orb who seemed to be watching the 3 but from a distance. As they made their way north they changed positions so effortlessly to make a perfect obtuse triangle. They were flying so high, planes passed under them. It was amazingly awesome and scary all at once. I have video but it won't let me upload them to your system.

While sitting on the back deck of our cabin, my wife and I noticed a strange object flying in a northeasterly direction. The object appeared to be a white sphere and was in our view for about 30 seconds. It had no wings and did not leave a contrail; it was just a round, white ball. I would estimate the altitude at about 10-12k feet. Our property is apparently in an approach corridor to Washington-Dulles Airport and, as commercial jets pass overhead (usually at about 15-20k feet), we always hear the engines. The object we observed was totally silent for the entirety of the sighting and afterwards. I then checked a smartphone app that shows real-time air traffic, and there was no flight reported to be in the area at the time of the sighting. The speed of the object was difficult to determine. I would estimate it at about the same as a commercial airliner, although that is a complete guess in my part; regardless, it would have been at least several hundred miles per hour. The size of the object was also difficult to determine, and I really don’t have a good guess for it; my best estimation is that it was smaller than a commercial airliner. The object continued in a NE’ly direction until it passed out of our view behind the tree line. There did not appear to be any lights on it.

On my way home after grocery shopping I was travelling south on Atlantic Avenue. After coming around a bend and passing Sunny Avenue on my right, I saw a large bright white/silver tic-tac shaped object in the sky travelling West. The object caught my eye as soon as I came around the bend. It was large and extremely bright against the blue sky. It was not a cloud. I was able to snap two photographs as I stopped at a red light at the corner of Atlantic and Wilder. I rolled down my window to make sure it was not a glare on the glass. It was not a glare. There was no sound. Lost sight of object once I entered area where houses were closer together and the view of the sky was obstructed. The object looks very small in the photographs but was much larger to the naked eye. It can be seen in each photo below the power lines towards the center and towards the right of center respectively.

I was at my River lot on the West Branch of the Susquehanna, and I happened to look to the West, when I saw the object. I would estimate its altitude at 2500 to 3000 feet AGL. The object moved in a straight line, and I watched until it entered clouds. There was no discernable fuselage, wings, or empennage. The object seemed to have a luminescence of it's own. I was able to catch video with my cellphone. There was boat traffic at the time, and other background noise, but no sound from the object. I am a Licensed Private Pilot, and a Military Aviation Buff, and are familiar with many different aircraft, both civilian, and Military, and this object didn't correspond to anything that I am familiar with.
