Centerton, AR
For multiple nights in a row, at least 4 local police officers wanting to remain anonymous have seen several orbs come into view at approximately 02:12 AM and in the same vicinity directly north of town each morning looking like bright and dim stars that change brightness and speed. The orbs continue for nearly and hour or longer each time we have seen them. Several appear to fly in tandem with each other, and others can appear alone. They appear at several different heights, and some can be brighter than the brightest stars in the sky, while others will be more dim than most. The orbs will also change brightness from time to time, going from dim to very bright, and vice versa. They have also appeared in tandem generating shapes such as triangles and hexagons as they pan across the sky. They are not consistent with Starlink, and after viewing the star link tracker, they can not possibly be related. At times, the orbs would be so bright, they would have an aura surrounding them as they panned across the sky, while at other times, they would be barely visible, both incidents happening within the same sighting as the sighting would occur. There were also, on few occasions during the sighting, be what seemed to be a slight beam going from orb to orb, almost as if they were connected by something. Similar to that of Starlink, but still not consistent with where the Starlink tracker would show any of their crafts to be as the sightings occurred, and also not consistent with a singular straight line, but at times being in the tandem shapes such as stated above. It’s hard to judge the distance from these objects, but it did seem to be possibly several hundred miles from the location where the sightings occurred to the north. There were no sounds related to the sightings, but one individual managed to get a somewhat decent video of one of the anomalies as it panned through the sky.

The craft appeared a dull finish of silver. No windows, front tube shaped went back to a fan tailed flat shape at the back. No vertical tail. There was no noise, The sun was to the right and the sky was full blue. The craft was easily seen and didn't seem to reflect the sun, It was easy to see the shape of it. As it flew off towards the north west I could see that the rear had two darker areas on either side. Didn't see any sign of panels or seams. It was all very smooth. It looked like it was climbing in elevation as it flew off and got far enough away until it disappeared. At first sight it might have been a couple hundred feet off the ground. I'm guessing it to be 75 to 100 ft long.

At 1st the way it melted thought flare, yet blinked out followed by. intense brightness appeared to be moving directly toward me. This occurred 5 times. Grabbed phone off charger came back out there it was again. By the time I turned camera on it did not reappear waited over 10 minutes filming and nothing. Hate to go to sleep. I am a retired medical professional and an avid skywatcher. Please inform me if any other reports come in. Started before 11pm. Cannot believe phone was indoors charging.

Standing on deck watching the storm, the outdoor parking lot lamp posts flickered and went out. Then heard a giant object above gliding in the sky, looked up and couldn’t see it but could hear how big it was and the sound was like woooooosh wooooooosh woooooosh and then finally passed and the lights went back on.

The metal looking ball stayed stationary and would disappear, moved up, down then stay stationary again and then disappear and reappear again. I video taped it while I was at the light then pulled off into the Publix to further video it and it disappeared. Few days late in the same spot i saw what looked like a metal tube that could disappear as well. Both sightings there were clouds in the sky. They seemingly use the clouds to hide in and I think the tube shape either changed shapes into a ball or there was another ball around it because right after I saw the tube I saw the same ball again. Both sights were also around the same time of day which was 7-8pm

Humboldt, TN
Went out east door before work and saw several jets in 1 area coming from east which attracted my attention to a huge ball of light beside the jet in the middle of the others. I pulled out my phone and the ball beside the 1 jet VANISHED. Not up or down no bank but DISAPPEARED. All that day at every break jets in that area made grid pattern. I attempted to video but was so distracted by trying to process what I had just witnessed I'm afraid I only caught proof of remainder of jets. Plz investigate or ask the pilots

Encino, CA
A few nights ago in Encino, California, I was outside at 4 am, smoking and FaceTiming my friend who lives in the UK. I couldn't help but notice a peculiarly flickering streetlight about two houses away. As I continued to watch it for a couple of minutes, the flickering intensified, and suddenly, it was as if a separate light that was growing stronger and stronger emerged from the original light, as if it had been camouflaged within the flickering itself. The light grew incredibly fast, and I screamed to my friend that it was a UFO. In the blink of an eye, it was right in front of me, only two houses away, either facing me with its top or bottom side. The enormous object appeared to rotate, emitting vibrant flashes of green, red, blue, white, and other colors. It looked surreal, as though it had been plucked straight from a sci-fi movie. If not for what happened next, I might have doubted my own sanity. Panicking, I tried to record the UFO with my phone, only to realize I couldn't do so while on a FaceTime call. I urgently instructed my friend to check his phone and record the phenomenon. As I aimed my camera at the UFO, he screamed, "What the fuck is that?" and started to frantically ask me what the hell it was. I urged him to record the FaceTime call, and he managed to capture it on video, which I've attached to this post. As I mentioned earlier, the UFO seemed to spin while emitting a mesmerizing array of colorful lights. It didn't move particularly fast, and it definitely made a relatively loud humming sound, but only when it was really close to me. When it was further away, I couldn't hear it. The experience has left me deeply shaken, and I have so many questions. I firmly believe it merits further investigation by professionals. Both my friend and I can confirm the events of that night, and we are willing to provide the original recording to any serious organization or journalist interested in examining the footage. The only edit I've made to the video is blurring my name and cutting the part after the UFO disappeared; otherwise, it remains unaltered.

B ((call sign deleted)) was approx. 40 miles north of TXK and reported to the air traffic controller working the position, an UFO that consisted of two glowing orbs that were pulsating and then disappeared. The controller suggested it could possibly be a STARLINK satellite. Memphis ARTCC Quality Control Office is submitting the UFO Report online as a follow-up to the occurrence report. Pilot name and address unavailable, but phone is 512-xxx-xxxx ((telephone number deleted)).

On 04/18/2023 on or about 2345 hrs I was sitting with a co-worker in a darkened area of a property just on the outskirts of the city in a vehicle. When I blacked out my vehicle. A moment later, I observed a triangle shape craft flying through the night sky; the object appeared to be dark gray with curriculum patterns on the bottom of the unknown craft. As I was talking with my co-worker I quickly startled him and asked him to look towards the sky. The object was in range for less than 10 - 20 seconds before it was out of sight over the darkened area.

Paradise, UT
Went outside to let in dog. Sighted a light northwest of Paradise hovering above the hills I’d never seen before. At times thought I might have seen two. It remained stationary and seemed to brighten and dim. I got my phone and took several videos. Upon zooming in the light appeared to be spinning and be comprised of several smaller lights giving off various colors. After 10 minutes of observation, it disappeared but then I noticed at least six more below on the ground.

While I was perched precariously on top a ladder installing new CCTV cameras at my recently deceased father's home my nephew said "hey nanny what's that?" I glanced back and immediately knew something wasn't right... I can't explain the feeling other than I was immediately concerned for our safety and wanted to get us away and safe (as a confirmed nightowl I can confidently say without doubt I have NEVER seen ANY THING like this before in my life!!! I am frequently outside in the country at night and typically alone and I have never been "spooked" I've done and seen ALOT but THIS was different somehow...) Not wanting to frighten my nephew I said "prolly just a plane" as I tried to climb down safely but swiftly! When I looked again the light was now fully visible (it had been partially hid from view by the tree tops across the road before) I now saw TWO HUGE yellow-ish lights hovering above the trees that line the road... My nephew said that the lights appeared to "be on fire" I replied I didn't see that and he said well my eyes are better than yours (true... Lol) he said it looked like how a fire "crackles" but again I only saw solid lights... Everything seems to be in slow motion when I think back but it couldn't have lasted in total more than 2 or 3 mins max! This convo happened while I was climbing down (I was installing camera on second story) so I didn't have a constant eye on it but once down I looked again & it seemed to have "jumped" closer crossing the road and now this sounds crazy I know but it felt like it was ACTIVELY LOOKING AT US!!!!! The lights had seemingly grown and swole to an unnatural size which sent me into a panic that I now couldn't hide! I grabbed the box cutter I'd had on the ladder and told my nephew to put it in his pocket as I grabbed his shoulder and seriously but silently said "WALK DO NOT RUN... NOW!!!" I pushed him in front of me trying to get him into my father's house and right before entering he said it's gone! I must be honest and say there was NO WAY that I was going back out there to look sadly! I pulled him into the ONLY place in the whole house that was windowless (the bathroom lol) and locked the doors as I sat on top the toilet trying to steady my nerves and slow my racing heart I realized I'd left my phone outside (OF COURSE!!!) Thankfully my nephews youthfulness means he ALWAYS has his phone (thank god! Lol) with my voice shaking I said call your mom (my sister an RN who lives next door) when she sleepily answered I rapidly over talked him and then just took the phone basically screaming at her what had happened and that we were scared and "locked in daddy's bathroom!!!" (Lol I have no idea what I wanted her to do but at that moment my mind was frazzled! Even tho I'd always believed basically that ANYTHING was possible in this world I surely NEVER thought that I'd see such things!!!!!!!! Even now I can't seem to get over the event and the thought of it brings paranoia and an intense fear...) Once I stopped and took a breath my sister immediately said "OMG it's probably on my camera's!" And promptly hung up on us! Lol mins later we heard her pull up and we ran to her she was in her nightgown no shoes but phone in hand and almost unbelieving her own eyes she just shoved the phone at me and said LOOK!!!!! She had indeed caught SOMETHING but whether or not it was what WE had saw I have no idea... One the video there is a small pinpoint of light (I actually didn't see it until she began scrubbing the video back and forth only then do you realize it had been there all along!) The almost invisible light suddenly grows it is visibly stationary until it zooms off of the screen straight up and is gone! But the thing that bothers me is that there is only ONE light visible in the video where we BOTH clearly saw TWO bright lights equally sized (and imo larger but could have simply been either have appeared so in my mind from the fear OR might have only appeared smaller on the video thru a lack of perspective I'm unsure) regardless WE SAW SOMETHING and thankfully completely independently my very very skeptical sister managed to unwillingly capture something very similar... I have no idea what those lights/light were but this I do know: there was NO blinking light on planes, there was ABSOLUTELY NO NOISE not even from the MANY animals housed on the farm, and lastly altho not measurable by anyone else I can freely say that my usually clear headed and rational mind that thus far in my life has NEVER been fearful of anything but man absolutely caught fire that night as I felt this unbelievable instant terror deep inside me that had me walk/running inside my father's home and locking myself and my nephew in a BATHROOM for gods sake too scared to look back even when I really really WANTED to I couldn't force my body to do so in fear of seeing something I may never be able to UNSEE and terrified at what that might mean to me and my previous love of the nights... I don't know what that was, what "they" wanted, nor what any of it meant but I do know this: when I've been back to feed (it's a working farm and animals HAVE TO be fed daily) I go EXTRA early now and I'm out of there before the sun goes down when before I'd only just be arriving... I'm not trying to recreate that "experience" that's for certain!

Live at the base of the Catskill Mountains. Walking dog at night in my back yard. Looked up..West..towards the mountain range. Saw this diamond shape object. It did not move…..but had a starburst-twinkle like pattern. Remained stationary for about 5-8 minutes…..then just disappeared.

Longs, SC
Had on going issue with balls of light, one very large and others very small at night in Maine for about the last year or so. I MOVED to SC a few days ago partly to see if the anomaly would surface again. And to attempt to rule out any drone theory. Tonight the major bright light is very active and it displayed an ability to "dim down" when I would try to get a picture or video at one point. There are also countless other lights that are more of a yellow color (2000 - 3000k) color temp. Now there's a new color showing up in the lights and it looks blueish. I'll attach tonight's video it may make me trim it. I have a lot of recordings from the last year or so as well. The upload portal says wrong format so I'll add some pictures but I'm going to paste my YouTube channel where I've been uploading some footage for safe keeping. I'll post that link here & and email I can send other stuff too would be appreciated ( I have some drone footage s well but I've had 2 flyaways in the last year and I don't want to lose another one.) https://youtube.com/@crowbaril903

This silver object was bright which may be from sunlight that was shining on it. This is what made me notice it but while driving it was only observed briefly. It seemed visible enough so that it did not resemble an airplane. At first it seemed stationary but then moving towards the Northwest.

Corpus Christi, TX
Humming sound woke me up and I laid there and tried to figure out what it was. I got up and looked out the window and put my face against the window to see if it was vibrating and when I looked back up to the sky, I saw this object that was kind of rectangle-shaped but oddly it looked like a sailboat with red lights around it. It was a pretty big object. By the way, even as far away as it was, when it disappeared from my site a few seconds later, the humming stopped. I was so shocked for a few seconds I couldn't move and I didn't have enough time to grab my camera off my nightstand to take a picture. I couldn't go back to sleep the rest of the night and felt like I needed to tell somebody about this. I did check the flight radar app on my phone to see if any airplanes or helicopters were in the vicinity of our home and there was none... maybe a small training plane from the naval air station but nothing that was near the size of what I saw. I would like to know what it was, if you could tell me.

I had walked out to take my dog to the bathroom and I looked up thinking it was a plane but the flashing light was way higher than a plane with fly and made no noise and would go in a zigzagging pattern whilst changing speed rapidly.

Extremely large light gray/white? chevron with rounded nose flying 7 miles from Oceana NAS (Appeared to be making a loop around NAS). This UFO would be the size of 3 jets flying in group formation and had 3 bright lights located on its underside with one under the nose and another under each wing? UFO had a low humming engine noise-not really loud like the jets we see all the time.

Initially spotted three stationary white lights in the sky that were in a straight line parallel to the ground, due west, as a passenger in a vehicle traveling down highway 70, at mile marker 265. There was a decent amount of distance between them, not a massive amount, just enough to know that they were together. They stood out against the stars but did not emit an overpowering amount of light; Venus at the time was brighter than these objects. After noticing the lights, the far left light faded out and at the same time, another light of equal distance faded into sight to the right of the formation. This sequence happened again, the left light faded out and a new light appeared to the right of the formation. This sequence happened one last time, the left light faded out and a new light appeared to the right of the formation. I reached for my phone to open my camera app, and as soon as I did, the three visible lights all faded out to darkness at the same time. The distance of the formation was difficult to determine, they could have been out a few miles to as far as 30 miles, hovering over the White Sands Missile Range.

Middle of the day look up and see a disk shaped craft metallic shiny watched made several videos at one point looks like another craft ejects from the main craft and it begins to blink white and looks more like a ball. I was very shocked it was the middle of the day.. one video shows an airplane in the distance and it’s clearly not that. The background is a clear sky. April 17 2023 5:58 pm.
