Virginia Beach, VA
We often see rocket launches from NASA at Wallops Island, VA about 100 miles south of us. This looked like a rocket launch as it rose above houses on our street, then appears to level off and travel above us, however it came up from the North, not the south where the NASA station is. There was quite a bit of cloud cover so it was surprising that we could see it so clearly - it seemed to be very high up, but must have been below the cloud line because the flames were not hazy, as if viewed behind clouds. It appeared to be some kind of craft, the rear looked like flames or a fireball was coming out. For something so bright I expected it to be loud, but it sounded like a very distant plane, more of a rumbling than whining sound. after 3 min the fireball disappeared as if it flew above the clouds.

Staten Island, NY
A group of oval shape dull lite off white color about ten in total attached to each other overed over Staten island and 4 of the same objects were emmited from the original and went separate circular ways. The remainder of the group (attached ovals) turned into 3 ovals which turned into one. It moved slowly but moved left extremely quickly and right. While looking at it hovering it disappeared from the left and reappeared on far way right simultaneously

I had just made it to the top of the driveway on my way home from work this morning. I seen something odd flying and then it went behind a line of trees so I drove down my driveway as quick as I could, put my car in park and started recording. It was in a saucer shape and it had red blue lights that later turned to green orange. I’m bad with measurements but it really wasn’t too far higher than the tree line and the place where it went out of sight was at the top of a steep hill. I couldn’t tell if it landed but it had to have been within feet from the trees if it didn’t land. No sort of regular aircraft flies like this.

Saw it, thought it was a tower, I got closer and it got brighter, you could then see the triangle shape, I took a pic while driving, It then went with me towards my destination, as I got out, it just Kinda kept moving slowly. It would settle (seeminlgy) in one place from time to time.

As I was in my living room I hear a helicopter in the distance getting closer and after 2 min of hearing how loud and close it was I looked outside and as I did in the opposite direction I see a flashing horizontal bright light of red blue and white and as I looked I noticed that it was an outline of a sphere shape with the lights coming frome the top and bottom and it seemed as if the whole object was rotating in a flipping motion as the helicopter circles around it a few times and as the object moved east in a slow speed while the helicopter began to give it space and as it was flipping in a weird way I noticed that it made no sound at all . I took a short video of it moving away

Eagle Creek, OR
Myself and my 3 children were driving home from a friends house last night when we noticed a brilliant white light in the sky. The light was not moving for 8-10mins. I took a couple photos and tried to record the event. However my phone showed no record of the recording so I only have a few photos of it stationary. I did get 1 photo with an airplane heading towards PDX (N) while the light was still stationary and that helped me determine this light couldn’t be an airplane. I began wondering if I was looking at Venus or Mars, but that idea was certainly dismissed the moment the object appeared to change shape and move across the sky. The light appeared to be facing slightly upward as if it were slightly angled towards the clouds in front of it (while stationary). We couldn’t see the shape of the object originally, just the brilliant lights which made this object appear to be circular. However, we were facing the light(s), therefore couldn’t necessarily see behind the very bright light. Just as I was starting to assume it was Venus or Mars, the object shot off and wings seemed to appear to come out the side of the craft. The bright light on the front dimmed. The “wings” each had a non-blinking very bright blue light at the ends of them. This may sound odd, but it looked as if it transformed into something to look more like an airplane once it realized we were trying to record it, but nothing we were seeing made sense. There’s no way an airplane’s headlights could be that bright, and more importantly it could NOT hover. Even if it was appearing to hover while coming East, after a few mins past, certainly the light and/or movement would’ve become clear that it was indeed moving. This did not move for far too long, especially for how close we were to the object. Also the sheer size of this object and light(s) could not have been an airplane (as you will see in one of my photos captured with an airplane in the shot). I am a 33yo woman, my children are age 9 (who sat next to me in the front seat), age 6(sat behind the 9yo in the car), and my 4yo who sat directly behind me. All of us saw this entire experience. The sun was setting but still plenty bright enough to see surroundings at a distance. We parked the car for quite some time after driving up the road very slowly watching it and even stopped in the road a couple of times. We pulled off the road at a local tree nursery so we’d have a good line of site and we sat there until after the object was gone. Also, we rolled down all the windows and there was absolutely no sound. PLEASE NOTE: attempts made on my phone and computer to upload my photos but the website would not work. Please contact me to let me know where I can forward my photos. Thanks so much!

Observed at appox 830 pm moving North possibly North East over Northgate Way in North Seattle. Couldn't see a definite shape but it appeared to have a triangle shape behind the light in centre. Moved behind treeline so only got an approximate 30 second view of it. Couldn't hear any noise coming from object. When I got to a location that had a better view of the night sky it was gone.

Woke up around 4:15 am due to having a bad dream. I look out my window at 4:21 because a semi-loud distant humming is annoying me. I see a blinking light off over the treeline. I watch it for a minute or two until it starts rapidly blinking irregularly then drifts off to the west, still visible from my house. I close the curtains for a second because I'm pretty scared at that point and turn on my TV for comfort light. I gain the courage to reopen my blinds two minutes later, it blinks even faster then becomes a solid light and moves off to the southwest. I used to think all the time I was actually being visited and even though I couldn't film (because I sure as hell wasn't going outside) now that I have concrete proof for myself that UFOs are real, I'm torn between emotions.

When getting off of my exit from work i caught a glimpse of a laser like beam through the fog, knowing the physics of lighting i know its not possible for it to go in a straight line. This happened 3 more times but let me add this was BRIGHT and dark green like a turn signal on a cars dash color. I got gas and traveled home looking in that direction being it was the way I was traveling well as I pulled in my driveway I pulled my phone out and burst fired followed by a video I don't feel comfortable sharing this but I now see 4 green lights in the tree line that I never seen before I know this because I look that way every night as I'm pulling in and what's the odds that the lights were the same color green as the beam I seen after viewing I caught a orb curving to the left with almost tail like trail behind it and next to it was a flashing green light for a few seconds the orb cut left disappeared and repapered a few feet over cutting right me and my wife were watching and didn't notice the orb unit i went to show my family the video and in that direction is a military base roughly 10-15 miles away but I'm aware of what goes on there being family that worked there in the past they don't have anything like this I don't know what it is but it has changed me. I don't know what I saw maybe its human or lightning but that was the first time I couldn't explain something

As I looked toward the moon a craft that was very bright and had lights on what looked like wings or appendages began to move in a strange manner. It came toward my direction and then took off into the darkness at a very high rate of speed. I watched it disappear in a matter of seconds.

I saw an aircraft (N9TL) flying eastbound at an altitude of 2400 feet (according to adsbexchange.com). Then I saw what appeared to be a large bird flying straight towards the aircraft. At first I thought they may collide but realized the UAP was flying ~500 feet below the aircraft. The UAP was not flapping its wings and appeared to be translucent. According to my Tempest weather station, there was zero wind at ground level at this time. The UAP was flying NE toward a KCPD station and also a KCPD helicopter (N691PD) that was in the area.

I spotted this light and the northeast quadrant of the sky left of Virgo constellation. This light was a solid white looking light that had no color and was not blinking. This light moved straight east until it went behind some trees from my viewpoint and I could no longer see it. I live pretty much directly under the Dane county airport and am very used to seeing air traffic and this was out of the ordinary. [NUFORC annotation: Satellite - Possible]

I went outside with my dog to let him out before bed, happened to look to the northwest and saw three bright white lights low on the horizon to the N/NW. They did not seem to be very close but I could see them well. At first I thought they were stars but I thought they seemed too low on the horizon to be that bright and shortly after noticing the three bright lights in an acute triangle shape, the top one faded out and the bottom two tilted at an angle to the right and faded out. After that I continued watching as the lights would get really bright and fade in and out. I saw a plane with red flashing lights which is normal for here but it seemed to go towards the formation and I could no longer see it once it got in the area of where I saw the lights. At one point one of the lights got really bright and another one looked like it came right up to touch the other and then faded away. The lights continued to fade in and out and I thought they seemed to be moving in a clockwise circular motion as they faded and got bright again probably every minute or two until eventually I could no longer see them after about ten minutes. I could not get any sky pictures with my iPhone but I looked at an app I have called Flightradar24 to see what planes might be in the area and there was nothing in the direction that I saw the lights in.

I was walking my dogs late and was on the top of a hill in my neighborhood when all of a sudden a bright,huge, and round object dropped down very fast. I was very startled and my instant thought was something is crashing. There was no noise at all. It went out of my view within seconds because of the wooded area in my subdivision. I’ve seen drones before and this was definitely no drone and no fallen star. The best way I can describe it would be like a full moon very close to earth falling straight down.

I see a lot of planes fly cross the sky at night. Sometimes they appear to float and enlarge, but that's only because they are flying towards me. But tonight was very different. The light was very bright and big. No clouds around it, but the light had a hazy aura around it as if it were in some light clouds. It was much bigger than how planets look in the sky, but maybe a third of the size of the illuminated portion of the moon tonight. I took three pictures of it at x100 zoom on my s21 ultra. I really want to buy a cheap telescope now. The thing changed shape as it floated a few hundred feet above Black Mountain. I first noticed it at around 8:55 pm and it began to dim around 9:15 pm. By 9:20 it had shrunk to the size of what stars look like in the sky, and it turned red. Yet it was clearly still in the same place just a few hundred feet above the house at the highest peak of black mountain. That house had its lights on, so I wonder if they were out to see it, too. It made absolutely no sound (and I can hear the planes and helicopters from quite far away from here as I live on a hill and it's very open around here). As of 9:36, it was still small and red, and it appeared to have moved to the northwest side of the mountain and lowered its altitude. By 9:40, it became out of sight.

As I was taking out the trash at work, I vividly noticed a strange circular object with flashing green lights going off all around the object. It clearly wasn't something normal in the sky and I had very heavy breathing after seeing this thing for a bit, including feeling extremely on edge after the encounter. Seemed as if it was just floating in the sky for around 2 minutes or so. I wasn't able to get a photo or video of the object due to the immense shock of this incident.

I stopped at my mail box at the end of my street at the cul de sac. When I got out of my car I saw what I think was a rack of lights moving slowly down my street. They were white, did not blink or change color. The lights were no higher than a tree and could b clearly seen. When the lights saw me looking at them, they stopped and did not move or disappear. After awhile I went to my mailbox and the lights were gone when I turned to get back into my car. I did not see them in the sky. I drove home, about 6 houses away. I did not report this before because I thought the local police might think I was crazy. This is very rural GA.

Boarder of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming, CO
We were the pilots from United 1325 DEN-PDX. About 50 miles from the northwestern border of Colorado on a heading of 285 at 38,000ft we noticed a series of lights, appearing at first to look like 3 light bright stars or satellites forming a triangle, at 2'clock high. As we watched this the lights moved going west to east then up and down converging and then disappearing. They stayed in our approximate 1:30 to 2'clock position appearing to be well above us. The patterner of forming a triangle, converging, moving, and then disappearing continued every 2-3 minutes for approximately 20 minutes as we passed the Wyoming border and then into Utah. They appeared to be far away at a high altitude. The other pilot I was flying with mentioned that he had seen the same moving pattern of lights on a different day in the same location in northwestern Colorado.

Huntsville, AL
On March 14th, I sent a report about seeing lights in the southern sky south of Huntsville Alabama. Since then, I have gone out in my back yard and checked the sky for more lights moving randomly in the sky. Every night since then, cloud cover permitting, I have seen the lights. The sky in that direction is unlit. I have seen anywhere from 2 or 3 to as many as 8. These lights are spaced from the west to the east around Huntsville. Some of the lights are brighter than others and others are smaller. In watching, they move randomly in a general area they occupy. At times they move rapidly and other times they seem to hover or move slowly. There seems to be no pattern to the movements. During times of slow moving broken clouds, the lights when covered by the clouds, seem to move to the nearest opening in the clouds. On a few occasions, there appears to be a small light suspended below the main light. Last night, March 27th 2023, while observing the lights, one of them began traveling to the east from a southerly position and at the same time one in the eastern sky began traveling west to a southerly position. The east bound light eventually disappeared in the east and the west bound light settled into a position approximately where the east bound light started from. Both lights traveled quite a distance at a moderate speed making random movements. All the lights I have seen since March 14th do the same thing every night, moving randomly, in all directions, at times darting to a spot. I have seen these lights in the evening and in the early morning hours prior to the sun coming up. On two occasions I had my wife come out to observe just to make sure I was not seeing things and she too observed the lights moving around in the sky.

Pulsating, stationary light in the western sky. When I blew up video that I took of it I could see it was flashing different colors such as blue, red and green. Laser when I came back outside, it had moved to the north western sky, and was stationary for about 25 minutes. Later, when I came outside again, it was gone.
