I was in the back yard doing some astrophotography work and I looked up to see a form flying in a straight path over my house from the east to the west. I couldn’t tell what my eyes were seeing exactly and there are two ways to describe it. It looked as though it was a translucent boomerang shape with the curved part as the leading edge. But it also could have been the leading edge of a circular shaped craft with some kind of cloaking device on as the leading edge shape had a rippling/rippled effect along with the translucent appearance. It made no sound and with that and no reference point I could not tell if it was a large object 400-500 feet in the air or a small object 50-60 feet off the ground. The cops of trees that it flew over average 50-80 feet high so it was at least above that. The air was still. Barely a slight breeze, super clear night, 51 degrees F and cooling off. 95% of all flight paths in my area are N/S coining in and out of Reagan, Dulles and BWI. I’ve seen UFO’s before and this one was very unusual as it was very movie like in it’s quality.

Two witnesses were outdoors and observed a bright triangular craft object hovering at tree top level in the neighbor's back yard. The object dimmed and repositioned at the end of the witness' property, 600' from their location. Witnesses observed object through binoculars and saw three amber white lights (circular) at 25-30 feet elevation. The second witness took a photo with its android phone and the primary witness drew sketches as requested by the FI. (MUFON CMS 130084) The sighting lasted 5-6 minutes.

And it was ~ 50 meters in diameter and flew over silently and barely visible on a crystal clear night <= ~ 300 meters above; there were no aviation lights and it had a distinct shape… very strange it appeared cloaked

These 2 objects were flying around following each-other. They were what looked to be bigger than a van. They were flying super fast back and forth over the tree line in front of my home and then they flew super fast, stopped instantly, and shot off into space at a crazy fast speed and then the other one did the exact same thing except from a different direction, but it stopped instantly in the same exact spot and shot off into space.

Norwich, NY
I happened to look out a west facing window to see if my solar lights were working at end of my driveway, and saw a plane with its lights flashing over my house, then I noticed a fast moving non blinking light through trees to the west that was changing direction quickly. It seemed far off and I thought it must be moving very fast. It made right angle turns and at one point it was going in a circle. I braced my head on frame of window and made sure that it was moving like that, and not me. Also could see its progress compared to sparsely spaced branches on tree. Am convinced that it wasn't an optical illusion and was some kind of craft. I know that stars will seem to move in a circle when standing outside, just because of your head moving slightly. After about 3 minutes, I blinked and it was gone. This the first time I have seen something I couldn't explain. Just a point of light.

Pie pan shaped object changed shape Sunday afternoon over our house in Barboursville WV approximately 4 pm. We watched this object over our heads for about 3 short minutes before it disappeared flying straight up out of sight.

San Dimas, CA
On March 26, 2023, I was traveling eastbound up a hill on Avenida Ladera in San Dimas, CA, just after 2:00 pm. The day was a clear, cloudless day. I was in a convertible with the top down so I could easily see high in the sky. I notice the waxing crescent moon and a very bright object that was as bright as Venus usually is in the evening sky. I knew I should not see a star or planet that brightly at that time of day so I pulled over to observe it. At first, the object appeared to be still but I realized it was moving slowly. It appeared as a single bright object but appeared to be a reflection rather than lights. I thought it might be a satellite but still was not sure. It was moving much slower than any satellite I have observed before, especially the ISS. I pulled out my phone to take some pictures of the object. I also took a picture of a passing jet, the moon, and tree as I was getting use to the setting on my phone camera. I zoomed in as far as the camera would allow me, stable my phone against the car, and took a picture. I then zoomed in on the object in the photo. The object appeared to be a rectangular object with a very bright reflection or light on it. I saw no appendages like solar panels or balloon. As I continued to observe the object it eventually lost brilliance and faded away, much like a satellite disappears into the darkness of the sky except it just disappeared. The object appeared to be travelling toward the west or west-southwest direction. My total observation time was approximately 4 minutes. The phone camera used was on a Samsung S23 Ultra with settings present in the meta-data of each picture. In one of the photos the object is about 1130 position relative to the moon. Another photo the object is at the 0930 position relative to the moon.

My mother was in the backyard, watching the dogs, and noticed a heat shimmer in the sky out of the corner of her eye. She turned and looked at the object. She sat and watched it for 10 minutes as the object darted around the sky in an erratic manner. Then, at 1:17pm, she came into the house to get me. I went outside with her and spotted the object. At this point 3 more similar objects began to appear, as if they simply faded into existence. Two objects remained where we initially saw them, and two others—including the original object—moved across the roof of the house. The original object and one of its companions then hovered above the treeline near our house. The original object darted around erratically at extremely high speed. Then it's companion merged with it. Afterwards both objects became stable. During this time the objects were surrounded by a glowing light shaped like an oval. This light 'smeared'—for lack of a better term—the objects shape. We could not see any physical object inside the heat shimmer. No metal, no craft, only the shimmer. The objects glowed brightly, changing colors from blue to pink to green then back again. It mainly remained pink. The objects stayed stable and floated in air while my mother went to get a camera. As soon as she exited the house, the two objects rocketed away with instant acceleration from hovering.

I was letting my dog out to go to the bathroom after a good nights sleep. And I was looking up at the sky and I thought I saw a shooting star but it was moving slower than a shooting star would. Then rapidly 4 more lights (Maybe it was 5) shown through the clouds near by the original light and they were going pretty fast. I could see the lights fading and getting brighter as they moved through the clouds. Then I just couldn't see them anymore. I waited another minute to see if they would return, but nothing. I called the national weather service to see if they see if they saw anything on the radar and they said no. The lights came from the south along the Mississippi and headed north/north east. There is an airport near by. Maybe I'm just crazy. I just wanted to report it in case someone else woke up this morning and seen the same thing. Also, there were no sounds.

This morning I was outside looking up and saw the exact same balls of light in space that I saw on 3/15. This time they were not as bright so maybe smaller ships going in direct directions, looked like east and west but they started out near each other. This is not shooting stars but I do believe it’s in space and not in our atmosphere.

I was trying to wait for the northern lights since I missed them on Thursday. I was observing the sky for around 30 minutes prior to the sighting. At around 10pm I watched a Y shaped formation of lights go from east to west at a fast rate of speed. The Y part of the formation was in front and the back end was the base of a Y. There appeared to be around 10 equally spaced out dots of light that made the shape of a Y.

Gasto, NC
I was sitting outside on my back deck, enjoying the clear night sky. Lots of stars and constellations visible. We live 3 miles from Gaston Municipal Airport so we are used to the small plane air traffic in the area. Planes flying the landing flight path takes them directly over the cul de sac where our house is located. We are very familiar with how a small plane is lit up at night, with multiple different colored lights on the wings and fuselage. What my wife and I watched this night was not one of these planes. From the position I was sitting on my upper deck, I was facing the back of my house, looking up over the roofline. I turned my head to the left, looking towards my neighbors house and through the trees (still devoid of leaves at this time) I saw a single, solid bright green light. (Orb is the only descriptive word that seems to fit.) Also, it was too low for the usual plane. These 2 items are what caught my attention first. It was also moving fast in a straight line, heading from SW to NE. I yelled to my wife to come out and look which she did very quickly. We watched together as it flew until the back of the house obscured it from view. We ran to the opposite side of the deck so we could see around the other side of our house and we could see it again, continuing in it’s straight line off into the distance until we could no longer see it due to trees and houses. We’ve lived here almost 20 years, close to the airport, and have never seen anything like it. Estimated altitude 150 to 200 feet and speed of about 200-300 mph. Totally silent.

Highland, CA
We were hiking and paused to take a Live Photo when the black cylindrical craft with two wings and a pink top paused also. Possibly to examine us. It was not a bird or drone. It departed by flying between us and zoomed off. Since we were taking a Live Photo on an iPhone 10, we recorded three seconds and the flight path is seen on the photo. A few minutes before our sighting, I had commented that I was passing through warmer areas and found that unexpected. We would like to share the brief video. The photographer is a retired attorney. The subject in the photo is a retired algebra teacher. Neither of us have seen a UFO before.

Asheboro, NC
In last 2 months myself of 2 other individuals have been witnessing alot of movement and objects in the Sky's of Randolph County, most sightings began in Asheboro NC. We actually followed several. We ended up at burkhead Mountain off hwy 64 in Asheboro. Here we were in the Country and very secluded we see 10 plus objects in the sky flying around 2 large lights which resemble stars but I've never known stars to move. We were surrounded by fields and woods. We were there for around 30 minutes observing all movement by these objects in the sky. Myself and another individual had this feeling Like we were being watched and we were not alone. We then began to hear a noise that we were not familiar with and this noise was coming from different areas around us. You would hear one and then like a response from another area. These noises are hard to describe, it was like clicks but in different tones and speeds. I know this sounds crazy but it was like a form of communication or speech. We can imitate these noises very close to what we heard and have not been able to find anything online similar to what we heard. We began to have a filling of dread or very uncomfortable so we decided to leave. Once we left these objects continue being visible in the sky and one was like it was following us as we headed away from the area. Since then I have been watching the Sky's and continue to capture images like what I did tonight. I was never one to believe in aliens or UFO but after seeing what i have with my own eyes I know we certainty that there is something in the sky that no one has been able to say for certain what it is. There was another occasion which was actually the first incounter where myself and 2 other individuals were driving and came to a very large object with incredible bright white/clear lights, I was shocked and just stopped and gazed at what I was seeing. This object / craft went from ground level straight up about 30 to 40 feet and then went straight and ad soon as it was over tree line in stopped and didn't mover for around 20 minutes like it was observing us. It was like this object was translucent except the lights on each end. I shine a red Lazer light at this object, the Lazer reflected off back towars me. I then began with different time length burst of light from flash light and my Lazer. All of a sudden more light turned on. It went from 2 lights to 4. Once this the objects began to move forward at a slow speed and was visible for a long time as it was sighted in the next hour up to 40 miles away and that's that I'm know of. If I would of been alone I would not tell this encounter as I know people would think I'm crazy but myself and these 2 other individuals all 3 saw the same things. I would like to talk to someone if there is a person interested in know all the information on this sighting and more that we have encountered and like I mentioned I do have photos to that do show objects that are unexplainable to myself and others that I've shown. If I'm wrong about this please correct me but until someone can specify what these are I'm going to continue my investigation and continue with my capture of objects with photos.

Savannah, GA
Presumed to be barbell shaped with two round /semi round spheres. It was heading in a northerly direction. No lights, or noise and at a height I would assume roughly 500ft, slightly above the horizon. I was able to view for 10 seconds before my view was obstructed by trees. I work for an aircraft manufacturer and view different size aircraft at different heights on a daily basis. Nothing I can compare to.

Bancroft, MI
I was driving at night on 69 going east. I had just approached the Bancroft 1 mile exit sign when I saw a bright light falling out of the sky at super sonic speed. Within 3 seconds it had disappeared and seemed to have fallen in a field to the right side of my car. It looked like it fell about a mile ahead of where my car was driving at the time. But also wondering if it could of appeared closer than it actually was. Too fast to tell.

We were driving south down 99th Ave and I noticed the white square that was cloud-like with an orb nearby. We stopped the car on the Southeast Corner of 99th Ave. and Thunderbird and I took a picture. I wish I would have taken a Vid...the object turned around and I saw the side of it, which was grey. When it did that, it appeared that a smokey stream oozed out of the bottom of it. About a minute later it turned around again and it was fully visible as a white, cloud-like square. It started to move further away and shape shifted into a white circle. All the while this was happening, the white/silver orb was stationary and seemed to vanish when the square turned into a circle.
