I saw various probes at an altitude higher than skyscrapers and lower than airplanes. I initially thought they were birds but they became dark and then light up with a clear sky and no clouds at this time of day. They moved making designs and at times looked like tentacles of a jellyfish. It looked liked about 30 - 40 probes. All of a sudden they disappeared and I only had 2 witnesses that saw it.

I saw an orb flying fast 3 different days at the same location. Fortunately I could record it the last time but I used my phone to do so. I’m not sure what it was but I felt I should report it. Attached is a screenshot from my video recording.

Kenosha, WI
There was four cars including mine that saw this event. It started out as being a little red dot in the sky and begin to materialize as a larger red beam. It was a very far distant and came down with abnormal speed, approaching our cars. As it came closer, the shape changed and look like a Jelly with little rubbery fringes around it and was vibrating. I told my nephew hurry and take a picture and time I requested this it zoomed back into the sky with such speed we didn't even see it leave and we looked in the sky and it was far, far away to the East over the Lake Michigan! The SUV that was next to my car had a young man sitting with his body out on the window seal of the car, saying; what is that. And the strangest part of this ordeal, is that it seemed like we were suspended in time. None of us could move our cars and the light was green! I went to the Kenosha police to report this incident. I do not know if the the other three cars of people reported it or not.

I am an overnight delivery driver and for the past 3 mornings in a row I have seen multiple orb/star like objects appearing and disappearing over the NE sky from my location (Would put objects over Central MO). The objects appear from between 2am and 4am and will appear to "dance" around the sky, changing altitude, direction and traveling at insane speeds. The first morning I witnessed 4 of the objects together, the second morning two, and this morning I seen 3, however I was only able to get a partial picture of two of the objects before they faded away. The objects do not appear to have any lights similar to that of aircraft also flying in the sky, as you can see airplanes in the sky with their flashing beacons where as these objects are a solid color that fades in and out as they move. I did check multiple flight radars to see if there was a group of aircraft in or around the area where they might be flying, but nothing was found. The fact it has occured 3 mornings in a row, either tells me its the government testing some secret aircraft near Whiteman Air Force Base, or the objects are indeed UFOs.

At about 2am I witnessed three unidentified flying objects (UFOs) in a formation heading in the direction of Lackland air-force base. About a minute later, another object with same features flew in the opposite direction. The three UFOs were low enough that I could see them making minor adjustments in their position between each other, indicating that they were independent from each other and not connected. They had a circular shape and emitted white lights, but lights were dim, each object had same light intensity, shape and size. Objects were not very noticeable if not flying directly above. They flew right above me and quickly blended in with the night sky as they moved away. They did not make any sudden or erratic maneuvers but rather flew in a linear direction. They were fast, but there was no sound associated with them. I remember clearly at that time there was no wind, or clouds. they looked too large and too quiet to be drones. They also flew in a restricted airspace, which would require permission to operate drones. This happened around 1:50-2 am, when there was very little traffic or people around, and at that time I don’t remember any cars or people in the area. The UFOs were too swift for me to capture them on my phone camera. It’s not the only time I witnessed ufo but this is the most recent one. Also my friend in a different location in the US saw an object accelerate from approximately 20mph to thousands of mph within instance, but location and time I need to confirm with my friend.

I was in my backyard at about 1:45 AM with my dog and I always look up at the stars to find certain constellations, the moon, shooting stars, etc. This time I noticed what I first assumed was a helicopter hovering in the western sky. But it was much higher up than helicopters usually are and seemed too big to be a helicopter and there was no sound coming from it. I could not really tell the shape of the craft because it was dark out. I could only see the lights, some of which were blinking. There were at least 3 lights, white, blue and red which made me think it was a law enforcement helicopter but again, too big and too high. I watched it for about 30 seconds to a minute and then turned to go back inside my house, then looked back and it was gone. I had looked away for exactly 5 seconds because I have a trail camera set up on my patio to take 10 second videos of wildlife triggered by a motion detector and it captured videos of me and my dog while we were in the yard. So I can see exactly how long it was from when I looked away to when I looked back and couldn't see the object anymore. I don't know if flew off at a high rate of speed or simply turned off its lights. If I had to guess at the shape of the object I would say it looked cylindrical like the body of a large commercial jet without the wings. I can only go by the lights which were at different heights and beside each other which suggests the craft had width and height. It was too far away to judge the depth so it could have been disc shaped. The lights did not shift with regards to each other so they were all in fixed position on a single object. From where I was standing in my backyard the object was in the western sky above the hill known as Glassford Hill but I really don't know if it was directly over the hill or farther west over Prescott. I don't know how long it was there before I noticed it, but I only watched it for about a minute, then looked away for 5 seconds, then looked back and it was gone. It was clear night sky and I could see all the usual stars and constellations, no clouds. I do recall hearing a brief distant roar that I thought was a jet of some sort but it was too brief and did not coincide with the sighting of the object. But I remember that sound puzzled me as well and I just thought I would mention it. I don't know if it had anything to do with this object or not. My memory of the sound is not as clear as the craft sighting memory. I believe I heard the roar a bit before noticing the object.

Boulder, CO
Night of Tuesday 4/11, early morning Wednesday 4/12 (Clear night after the first very warm day of the spring here. Very little cloud cover; clear enough that several stars were visible throughout the night. I have tall windows and can see a great deal of open sky, looking north mostly across a large parking lot, with my view of the sky blocked only by one other building, a few trees, and the foothills off to the west.) At approximately 1:20am, while seated at my desk in front of my north-facing, third-floor window in North Boulder, a bright spot of white light caught my eye. Fairly high in the sky, it lasted for about five seconds before moving straight horizontally to the right (a short distance from my vantage point), with the light dissipating as it moved until it faded out completely within the span of about a second. Light was much brighter than any other object in the sky at the time. (Throughout the night, small planes were visible periodically.) Very hard to discern distance. Roughly 10 minutes later, I saw the same thing again, lower down in the sky. Similarly bright, it repeated the pattern, staying stationary for a moment and then fading out quickly as it began to move horizontally (this time to the left). Like the first time, this was so brief that I didn’t have time to try to capture any images or video. Another ~10 minutes later, this happened a third time, even lower down (barely above the line of trees and buildings across the long parking lot I face out of my window). Same level of brightness, still impossible to discern distance. This time it disappeared to the right and my line of sight was broken by trees and buildings. Unlike the previous times, a few seconds after it disappeared I clocked another source of light that seemed to have just appeared. This was the next phase: 1:42am: A faint but distinct light was apparent on the right side of my field of view, much dimmer than the previous three lights, roughly as bright as a star in my perception. I immediately noticed that it was moving upwards and to the right, relatively slowly. My first thought was that it was an airplane, but it was an unblinking white light so this seemed unlikely. My next thought was either a helicopter or a drone, until about five-ten seconds into my observation of its flight, at which point it took a sudden, V-shaped turn back down and to the left. My hackles were already raised from the oddness of the previous lights but this motion struck me as very unusual and I was a little alarmed. (I have a time stamp for this moment because I attempted to take a video of the sky but had no luck; there’s some light pollution from the neighboring buildings and parking lots and my iPhone SE struggled to capture anything as dim as this light.) The object continued to move over a fairly large area of the sky, still staying to the right end of my view (thus north-northeast from me), for approximately the next 10 minutes. Its motion varied considerably and struck me as odd at several different times, alternating between different kinds of patterns: - It would move slowly, straight in one direction or arcing slightly, coming to a stop occasionally - It would move in a way that reminded me of an insect, which is to say flying in meandering, looping motions, or bobbing up and down. Sometimes the loops were tight and fast, sometimes slower and stretched out over more space - It would move in more jagged patterns that reminded me of the way you might play with a laser pointer or scribble to test a pen: fast swooping motions alternating with turns on tight, acute angles as it switched directions, albeit performed much more slowly. Turns were often very acute and seemed to take no effort at all; it seemed to be able to switch direction more or less instantaneously with no concern for momentum - It would move in fits and starts, moving jerkily, quickly and then slowly, between stops - It would make repeated “bouncing” movements, either moving quickly right and left or up and down ~2:00am: After nearly 20 minutes of this unusual movement, the object took a swooping turn and started moving left (west). This started at a normal speed (relative to what I'd observed), and then it accelerated over the course of about a second before moving extremely quickly off to the left and out of my line of sight. I cannot overemphasize the speed that I’m talking about - until this point, it still seemed plausible to me that this might be a commercial drone despite the odd angles of its movement, but this was unbelievably fast - it shot off at a speed that no drone I’m familiar with could plausibly hit, let alone that quickly. This was so unusual that I had a strong visceral reaction to it. 2:02am: I quickly scanned the sky once it disappeared out of view and almost immediately took notice of another object in a slightly different part of the sky (higher up and due north from me rather than north-northeast) - it was of identical brightness to the previous object as far as I could discern and it occurred to me that it was likely the same object, but there’s no way to say for certain. (I have a precise time stamp here because I began to record another video, also fruitless visually, but in which I narrate back the events of the past hour, which has helped me put together a timeline.) About thirty seconds into my observation, an extremely bright object flashed through the sky, to the left of this object, going north - this looked instinctively like a shooting star, which it may have been, but it appeared significantly lower and closer than shooting stars I’ve seen previously in the area. I perceived red/blue light around it in the brief moment I could see it. The main object was still there, and this began a very long phase in which it stayed there until the sun came up. To reiterate before this next phase: I proceeded to observe this object (which may or may not have been the same one that zoomed off) from at least 2:02am until roughly 5:40am, unbroken except for my occasional, hasty trips to the bathroom or for more water. It was in the same area of the sky, moving on a smaller scale than the object I'd seen previously, for at least three and a half hours. 2:03am - 5:05am: I’m going to summarize the events of these few hours with highlights but without precise time stamps; at some point I stopped recording videos, having had no luck, and stopped recording voice memos as what I was observing became somewhat repetitive (with notable exceptions). For the entirety of this chunk of time, the object moved in the same assortment of patterns that I’ve described above from the previous (possibly same) object: swooping turns; tight, angular turns; tight loops; bouncing back and forth or up and down. This covered a smaller area of the sky - it’s impossible to say if it was covering similar distances and was simply further away, as the brightness appeared to be the same but I have no frame of reference for the distance. Notable things in this period: - At one point there were two other, brighter objects visible towards the bottom right of my field of view. These were not quite as bright as the lights I saw at the beginning of the night but were closer to the brightness of those than to the relative dimness of the main object I was tracking. I did not see these move erratically so it’s entirely possible that these were in fact drones or something mundane, but their brightness struck me as unusual. One light reappeared multiple times and then a second appeared with it on one occasion, the two of them moving seemingly at the same speed and in parallel locked trajectories until they left my FOV. At another point I did perceive another object of similar brightness and type of movement to the main object, further to the left of my FOV (north-northwest), which moved across the sky to the right of the main object before I lost track of it visually. (I am more confident of the oddness of this object than of the brighte

I have extensive photo and video over 3 days. The bright orb has appeared 3 days in a row. It hovers silently, is very bright, rotates and changes shape. I see 2 other people have reported it on here. One calls it a "disco ball in the sky" and that is a great description. I have video of it disappearing from sight. It throws off sparkling lights, and sometimes there are several small bright orbs in what appears to be a fleet. Several sightings have been concurrent with reports of meteor/fireball.

Got out of car talking to my brother. Saw a bright light moving almost like a shooting star so I pointed it out to my brother and his son. The light got alittle brighter as it passed through and disappeared but then it happened again moving same direction exact same spot start and stop. Their were planes you could see flying in same area passing through but not nearly as fast as the lights and obvious blue and red lights and flashing on planes. The lights had no tracer behind them either like a falling star. The light would be dim then get brighter as it passed through orions belt and dim out and disappear same spot. All 4 times exactly the same way. Also plans flying through lights on plane never disappeared so not like it was clouds or anything. Very clear night. [NUFORC annotation: Satellite - Probable]

2 objects observed moving super fast, one behind the other, making a couple slight, subtle but distinct direction changes, dark but faintly brighter than night sky over the city, no lights as you would see on a plane, silent. Not birds, too quiet for unlit drones, too fast for balloons. Seen moments ago from the roof while stargazing on a clear night here in San Francisco. Total duration observed was 15 to 30 seconds max before they passed behind buildings and my view was obscured. Too dark and blurry to determine a clear geometric or distinct shape, but they were somewhat flat and long, possibly thicker in the middle. I’ve seen commercial aircraft, the ISS, satellites and the Starlink train in the night sky but I’ve never seen anything remotely like this before. April 11, 2023, 8:45PM.

Witness reported that this incident had occurred in his side yard and it had lasted approximately 30 seconds. The incident was also witnessed by a friend whose name was removed from the report. It had happened on a beautiful spring day with a clear blue sunny sky without any wind or anything else unusual. He and his wife, Lisa, were chatting in their driveway when he suddenly noticed some sort of unknown black object just appear about 50 ft overhead. The object appeared out of thin air in total silence. It did not seem to have any sort of propulsion. The object or "enigma" was a 12 foot ring or circle, black in color. He was unable to identify what it was. It had a gigantic 12 foot wide spiral "corkscrew" device that was slowly rotating under the ring or circle. He immediately alerted Lisa of what he was watching and she also witnessed the same strange enigma. They both just stared in awe as the weird object descended downward. As it was about to touch down, the object just vanished into thin air. It just disappeared. In less than a second. What ever this enigma was, is a total mystery. It did not leave any clues as to what it may have been, or where it may have come from or if it had any purpose. He could not even attempt an educated guess as to what he and Lisa had witnessed. It was truly an "out of this world experience......beyond bizarre." Possible smoke ring. See https://www.youtube.com/shorts/1AmaMBOINJw

I've been seeing objects like this almost every night for over a year. They are very bright and emit all kinds of colors. When I look at them with binoculars I see what is seen in video just with more detail. The border of these things isn't constant. It look like there are little bolts of electricity traveling from one side to other. [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Probable]

Bright light spinning and hovering over red tower light was so bright it reflected off water. And it was a good distance from the river. It left, made a circle back to the same exact spot and the same thing, same pattern. Two videos from same area, different side of the river during the day.

It was my during my graduation of high school at the WSU Vancouver campus. My friend and I were sitting in the grass celebrating graduation. After a while of being there that night, we had noticed 3 stationary colorful lights towards the east side of the campus. After noticing them for about 15 minutes, the farthest light to the east disappeared at incredible speeds to the south. After about another 5 minutes the middle light did the same thing. About another 5-10 minutes had gone by and the last light had followed the other’s direction. I am now 25 years old and still cannot get what I saw out of my head. I have never been able to figure out where to send this information to nor who I could trust to tell. It was the most incredible phenomenon I have ever seen.

Right near where Venus is in the sky, about 10 times the size of Venus in terms of visibility. Very bright white light, mostly circular, with a slight tail/point on one side. Appeared about 40 feet above tree line, moved in a diagonal/downward motion, and then disappeared again. There was one object, full visibility lasted for about 5 seconds. Moved quickly but not fast enough to be some sort of shooting star/meteor.

Initially I thought I was observing a satellite orbiting the earth until I realized this object was flickering and changing colors. It varied between blue, green, purple, red and white. It was completely silent but moved slowly up and down in the sky. Also appeared to have a tail that was glowing as well. Could be a drone but it was very high up and could still be observed after 45 minutes of watching. [NUFORC annotation: Drone - Possible]

Multi color lights alternately appearing , disappearing in the sky above the treeline much like a drone array only no structure seen and much larger in width than a common drone. When I went to the window to get a closer look I heard a loud powerful propulsion lasting a couple seconds then no more to report. During the time I saw lights there was no sound just silence. After the propulsion noise no more sighting.

Was driving and this stationary bright light was just there for so long. Parked at a beach that seemed closer and it was still there. Almost looked like it was over the water, but you could see the other side of the water where another town was & we don't know. It was confusing. Didn't move at all, if any movement it looked as though it was almost lightly lightly hovering in a counterclockwise circle ⃔up then back down and up but micro movement to the naked eye if any. Tried to take a video it was so hard to get it to focus. Almost looked like the light was diffracting from a triangle like shaped object. We are still mad confused, it didn't leave and eventually we left and went home. It wasn't Sirius or Venus, or any plane we saw planes flying around and the object was a much larger light in comparison but also looked much lower than where the planes were. I don't think the object was actually that big, but that it was lower and therefore looked bigger than the plane lights. Could have been nothing but it felt like it was something, I was so confused why no one else was sussed out. It was a beautiful night as well and you could see all the stars, but there was a bit of haze where the object was so not all the constellations could be seen to the naked eye but planes and the object itself were clearly visible. Our coordinates (approximately, doing this the next day so its as close as I can figure out) 40.83650°N, 73.65194°W Object Coordinates (Direction we saw it approximately)
