Woodland, MI
While letting out my dogs I noticed a bright orange light in the distance (about 2 acres away) that looked like fire in the trees/tree line. I told my dad it looked like the top of the trees were on fire. I grabbed my binoculars by the door to see what it was. I could not find the bright orange light in the trees because I was stuck on the big dark triangle object hovering a ways down the yard. While looking at it the object appeared to be a dark blurr as if it was something standing still but moving at the same time. My dad said "where did the light go" because he left to grab his phone and by the time he got back the orange light in the tree line was gone and when I looked back into the binoculars that object had disappeared.

Bright light. Looked like a star flying low horizontally had red fire trail behind them the trail disappeared. Traveled a little bit longer and disappeared right in front of me! Clear sky no clouds or trees blocking view. No flashing lights at all and I watched for 2-3 minutes. Way slower then shooting stars and fast then a plane. As soon as it disappears I hear on my house or very close by several owls start hooting and making so much noise my dog got spooked and ran inside!

I live close to PDX airport. I was driving along 148th/Halsey and I thought I was seeing just a regular plane take a regular flight path to descend to the airport. All of a sudden I start thinking wow that’s a big plane. Like oddly wide for a plane and the lights were not those of a normal plane. So as I’m driving this object is coming closer and I’m starting to realize this ”thing” is not going to the airport. Mind you, I’m slowing down as this thing approaches me so I’m slowing down more to try to follow it and Within a matter of seconds this aircraft is close AND hovering just above some trees of this dead end street I turned down to try and record it…I’m CLEARLY seeing this rectangular object that can only be described as the shape of a suburban with moonbeams for headlights just hovering in the sky. Completely soundless. Absolutely no sounds came from this thing! There was even a man taking out his trash RIGHT UNDERNEATH THIS THING and he didn’t even notice a thing. So by this time I’ve stopped my vehicle in the middle of the road of this dead end street and I’m just watching this thing hover for like another 20 seconds while I’m messing with my phone to try to record this thing and it just silently takes off and disappears. When I was witnessing all this I got goose bumps all over my body and suddenly I felt overcome with terror. Even writing, thinking, or speaking of this event causes the goose bumps and feeling of being afraid. Like I saw something I should not have seen.

Los Angeles, CA
At roughly 9:22 pm on the evening of 22 Mar 2023, I was driving eastbound on the Interstate 10 approaching downtown Los Angeles. The skies were partly cloudy, but the lit skyline of downtown LA was clearly visible. I had one passenger in the car with me. Just passing the La Cienega Blvd exit on the I-10 East, I clearly discerned something that caught my eye in the sky, which I had initially written off as a cloud. What seemed odd what that there was a red light to one side of where I was looking, and a white light on the other side. At that point I had written it off as an airplane. But, whatever it was seemed to be fixed; it did not seem to move. Again, I didn't think anything of it, but as I kept driving, I glanced in that direction again and it had not moved from its place in the sky. At that point, I figured it to be an antenna on one of the mountain ranges far in the distance beyond downtown LA, but that would be impractical from where I was in proximity to the mountain ranges. And as I got closer to it, I began to notice the shape of an object. By now, I was roughly at the Crenshaw Blvd exit of the I-10 east. The object, again, had not moved from its place in the sky. The shape of it was like nothing that I've ever seen that could possibly perform a hovering movement, like a helicopter, balloon, drone, or dirigible. It was at this point that I pointed it out the passenger in my car. I asked her what she thought it might be, and she was as clueless as me. So, we both kept staring at it. It's difficult to describe the shape. It was somehow rectangular, but slightly convex along the long edges. I don't know how else to describe it. The left and right sides seemed to have protrusions. One side with a red light, the other with a white one. There were no markings on the object. I constantly observed it for movement, but it remained fixed. The remarkable shape of the object really made it stand out, because I've never seen anything like it before, and neither had my passenger. I had the best visual of it between the Hoover St exit, and the connector to the I-110 south. I'd assume it was between 800 to 1200 feet above me as we drove under it, after which we lost sight of it. I did extensive google searches to see if others posted things to corroborate my sighting. I even submitted a query to a local tv station. As of this writing, I have yet to see any other mention of it. As for myself, I have been a business communications and IT consultant for 29 years. My passenger is a data analyst.

A cluster of 2-3 large amber lights in the sky that pulsed slowly and faded, seen once by myself and driver and then again later on by only me.

This object has been in the sky in approximately the same area for over 30 minutes. Numerous family members have witnessed it bouncing if you will like a ping-pong ball back-and-forth left to right. We’ve seen planes flying above it with its beacon lights flashing. We have seen oh, it just disappeared. It just moved. We have seen it through binoculars. It looks like a parasail with lots of bright lights.. . The lights have appears to rotate. Can it be a drone ? At night ??

Barnet, VT
Orange flashes of light, varying positions in sky (not as high as stars, but high above mountains nearby). The light flared & then disappeared (did not rise or fall). Once two flashes appeared almost at the same time in the same place (first one flared, second one flared before first disappeared), & then a red light moved away toward the West, & the red light was brief but visible longer than the orange; the red light was much smaller diameter & did not flash as one would see on an airplane. The sky was dark, spotty clouds to the East, stars present high in the sky. These orange lights were not like fireworks nor like aircraft lights. They appeared to be larger than a star, & very bright orange. They appeared & were gone almost immediately. 7 total.

Rumney, NH
I saw a bright orange light in the sky and stated " what the f. Is that" but it was gone when my husband looked up. He tells me probably a plane, but the light wasn't normal. Still trying to figure out what I saw , we both witness 2 bright orange light appear. One in the center of my view and one to the right by the rumney rocks/rattlesnake mtn. Then a second later they are just gone. No clouds covering, nothing across the sky , just gone .

Me my wife and mother and law went for a drive to a nearby town called elmer, noticed a star that had been following us all night wich we thought was a drone, we figured it was state patrol or something but when we got home we were out on the porch smoking a cigarette and watching it then it started to scare us because it seemed like the whole sky was a different like the stars were changing colors around us but not above us, after noticing strait above us was normal what we thought was a bat or owl or nocturnal flying animal we saw three objects in the air flying really slow making no sound at all and by the appearance of it as close as it was did not seem man made at all it was terrifying how close they were you could see all the detail in the aircrafts what couldn't have been any bigger than a one ton truck they disappeared right after they got out of the illumination from the street lights and we're completely invisible in the night sky, we probably wouldn't have seen them if they weren't flying so low over head... There's been a lot of strange anomaly been going on in the night sky recently in the last couple of months now that I think about it, shook me up enough to file a report about it because it deeply disturbed me, frightened me that's why others should know what I saw ( I would like to be fully anonymous and report confidentialy)

Witness saw an object coming out of the west heading east and below the clouds that definitely was not an aircraft or meteor. He estimated the object was about 4-6 miles out at first.

Roseburg, OR
At about 5:20 am, sky was still dark and cloudy. I looked out of my large picture window from a dark room to see a very bright, large light in the rural sky above the foothills, which were less than two miles away. Normally there are no lights of any kind in that area of the view or horizon. First thought was large planet or airplane. Eliminated possibility of planet as it was cloudy and seemed below cloud level. And could not see any other stars or planets or moon. I stared at it extensively to detect any movement. But it did not move. So not an airplane. Just kept staring at it. Then after about 2-4 minutes, it vanished from the spot. Like a light switch turning off, it vanished. No one was with me nor in the room. It was not a reflection in the window glass. Background: I’m 52 years old, educated and never experienced anything like this before. But I have a deep interest in physics. I was wide awake at the time of sighting.

Have seen these quite a few times in the past years—very intense bright light zigzag flight patterns. No satellites for sure, my wife and I have seen these lights together. Very bright and intents light. Very clear sky on 3/22/23 in Spokane, Wa.

We were observing little dipper when one of it's points moved. It was a glowing white orb. Nothing more. It pulsed some as it flew across sky, very very high.When past our location heading out towards Lake Arrowhead it stopped turned and came back to about half way between where we first noticed near LD. Object looked like it stopped and faded away.

Seminole, FL
My wife saw a hovering object two nights in a row in the same western sky after work. But it was not in the exact same part in the western sky. On Monday night, 3/20/23, she saw a diamond shaped object in the western sky but a bit to the north. Tonight,3/21, she saw the same type object in the western sky though a bit to the south. This time she was ready with her phone's camera. (see 3 photos). It was not moving and with no sound and was about the size of her thumb at arm's length while observing from the parking lot. She did not hang around longer than 1 minute as she wanted to get back home.

Barnegat, NJ
I was getting on the parkway in Barnegat and could see 2 fixed things in the sky with bands of light. The lights were round. There were 4-6 lights going straight across. I tried to take a picture but they suddenly blinked out of vision. I called my husband to tell him what I saw, when suddenly one was just outside my driver's window not further up than the treetops. It was a very large disk shape with bright lights on either side at the center I could see a very large window. The window looked to be multiple stories high and I could see beings moving around in the window. It lasted for at least 30 seconds. I was traveling at 75 mph and it seemed to be keeping pace with me because it stayed in the same view for me. It wasn't like I was driving away from it. It vanished suddenly. There was no sound.

Two lights like headlights came up behind us almost touching rear end wouldn't leave, no other cars around. Everything went dark except bright light around front of car, we were not driving anymore, came back on to different highway I-75 North towards Knoxville 50 miles from our other point. GPS had stopped and cell phone froze, time stopped.

Alton, VA
While operating a drone I observed unidentifiable aerial objects. The objects exhibited no condensation trails. The objects flew in a semi circle formation but eventually one object broke away and the remaining object completed an approximately 90 degree turn and began cloaking themselves eventually blending with the sky. I have recorded video of the sighting and also enhanced still images of the event. The video and still images were captured at 36.55490° N, 79.01480° W on Apple IPhone 12, 4K, 2160 x 3840, 59.91 FPS.

I stepped outside my front door onto my front porch to place a "porch camera" I use to see guests arrive and check Amazon delivery, doordash etc. I looked up and immediately noticed very bright burnt orange orbs slowly flying in a loose formation of 3-4. I took out my phone and opened my front door and yelled for my children to come and look at what I was seeing and I started recording. As I was recording we noticed more of the same orbs begin to appear from behind the housetops in a similar fashion to the original three, all going in the same direction and completely silently, as the first group slowly flicked out of view. I called the non emergency number in my area and officers were dispatched to my home and also viewed the video I captured but nothing came of it. I have the video saved and even uploaded to my Facebook and YouTube.

Descending slow and stead, first thought, a helicopter coming over the tree topped hill from the local hospital but it made no sounds. Moved along about 60’ in the air shinning a strong light down below the surface of the water flying around Eagle Island across the Merrimack River. The tubular red and blue lights outlined from the top and bottom joining in the middle but you could still see threw them front to back and the inside was hazy. I couldn’t distinguish any interior form. It moved along the north shore of the river and headed over the marsh area toward Salisbury. Took about 10 minutes. I did not realize at first what I was seeing. Later I thought maybe it’s a drone from the Coast Guard and called them but they said no they don’t use drones on the river. So, guess someone wanted to do some surveillance… who I do not know.

I stepped out onto the back porch while letting the dog out, was looking up at the sky at the clouds checking the weather. The sky was cloudy. I looked eastward and noticed 3 objects floating in the sky. They were silver in color and equally separated from each other, there was no sound. Then suddenly they took off and disappeared.

I was letting my dog out for his morning piss around 4:30/4:25 AM and I look up, I see all the stars and I see the constellations, then I see 2 kinda dark blue/almost a grey orbs going one way, and I think a 3rd going another way but I don’t remember, so I stare at them thinking its just my imagination, they were not moving very fast but too fast to be a drone and too slow to be any aircraft, the way they were flying was really unsettling for some reason also it’s like they weren’t 2 objects but 1 really long one and if that’s the case it would be bigger then a football field, when I realized I should record it I tried to pull my phone out they were already gone like I just spaced out and watched them go. But next thing I know I already let my dog inside and it’s 5:45 AM. I had a very uneasy feeling in my gut so I went inside and locked my doors

So I woke up at 2:00 am I went to the bathroom and when I laid back down my window is right next to my bed. I saw a bright light. So I got up and it was in the sky. It was circle but not a perfect one so like an oval. It had lights on the bottom edge all around and a bright big one in the center. It moved across the sky slowly as if searching for something and then it stopped for like ten minutes and the lights got turned down so they weren’t really bright. And then after after ten minutes they turned bright and spun in a circle in place before it zoomed away in like the blink of an eye. I stood there so in shock to what I just witnessed I couldn’t go back to sleep.

Beach Park, IL
My friends and I were celebrating a birthday, august 3rd. We were hanging out in the garage and the yard until the late hours of the night. It was dark, there were street lights lit and some house lights in the neighborhood also turned on. At some point we noticed a white light coming from the beach over Lake Michigan. It appeared to be a plane at first, but this light was extra bright and growing larger as it approached. The light moved over the houses a little to the left of us looking towards to the lake. It was moving slowly and had no sound, it was silent. It didn’t stop and there was no shape, and no other blinking lights or anything. Just a ball of light. It pushed off diagonally and kept moving in a diagonal motion. It didn’t spin, it didn’t turn, it just went diagonally. Until it disappeared.

I was driving home when I saw a shape in the sky. It was flat on the bottom and appeared black in color. It was triangle shape and each point had a green light on it. I stopped my car and rolled down the window and heard a low wooshing sound coming from it. The shape was flying low to the ground and moving really slow. I got one blurry picture when a car pulled up behind me and I had to keep driving.
