Once the objects scattered high into the upper atmosphere they then proceeded to move but changing direction, 180 degrees on an instant.

My husband and I were outside. I noticed a object which I thought was a large bird but when it didn't flap its wings and the sun reflected off it I brought it to attention of my husband, He is prior military, It was moving quite fast no sound at all and gong in the direction of Crane Military depot. We both was concerned they make ammunition and bombs ext. for the military. didn't know if we should follow it or not... It was picking up altitude and speed. My husband grabbed some paper and drew what he saw. It was oblong kind of tilted and shiny. the sun reflected off of it ....

Clayton, OK
I was driving on Hwy. 2 moving SE toward Clayton, OK. At first I was noticing contrails in the sky. I saw a black dot way up in the sky thinking it might be a hawk or an eagle. I continued to watch as it got closer to me and realized that it might be a government drone. It had no wings was black and cigar shaped. It was at least 1000 ft in the air and moving from the SE to the NW. I have never seen anything like this. I know what drones look like but this did not have an apparent propulsion system. I do not know what I saw, I did not stop my car to watch as it went above my car. I was not looking for any strange flying object. I cannot unsee what I saw and it puzzles me. I would like to have an explanation of what I saw in the daytime over rural Oklahoma.

I've noticed this bright weird orb in the sky off and on for the last month. When I look st it through my binoculars, it seems to be alive. It's definitely not a star or a drone or an airplane or helicopter. It's something I've never seen before. It looks like a puffer fish and it moves in the sky at night.

I have been reading all things ufo for years. I have seen things a few times but never really was sure it couldn’t be explained away. Until a few days ago! Im in true shock as I try to type now. A few nights ago my husband and I were driving and I at first thought it was a huge light on a pole but then I saw lights go on around the object it rose up and blinked out. I clearly saw a saucer with lights one by one in quick order showing its shape and size before rising quickly to blink out. I was almost scared to finally witness a true ufo as I always asked for clear proof. I was asking my husband he had to have seen what I did and telling him I finally know and I remember irritation because he kept saying he wasn’t sure what he saw but it was so close and clear there was no way to have confusion. Then im feeling overwhelming excitement and feeling to we both somehow dropped it completely. I was surging with emotions and instantly completely calm somehow. It left us both and we had no memory whatsoever. Tonight we were in the car at night don’t recall our conversation or my thoughts but it hit me out of no where what we saw the other night. He barely remembers it but recalls parts. I had to question it a dream like im crazy but I know it happened. We witnessed something real and it left our minds mind conversation. I have read of people claiming this and I now lived through this. I would never let this go it’s not like me at all. What happened to us? Is this worth sharing? We experienced something strange and I understand others whom claimed they dropped the subject quickly more than anyone might. We lost our memories I feel like I have something worth hearing. I have never experienced memory loss especially happening with my adrenaline racing while taking to completely nothing and calmness. I wasn’t supposed to remeber and im grateful I was with someone to corroborate something so hard to believe. At least can someone reply so I know it was read and if possible share any thoughts or information to help me not feel so taken advantage of… can’t think of the right word to describe an invasion of memory like this. Thanks for your time i

I was on my way to my local ATM (I have receipt 8:51pm) so it must have been no more than 10 minutes before that, driving north on Homestead Drive in Homestead Adult Community in Columbus, NJ, I had just turned the slight left-turning curve about 10 meters north of Chestnut Hill Lane, when I saw very low in the sky, just above the treetops above the houses at the intersection of either Deep Hollow and Homestead Drive or Hill Top Lane and Homestead Drive, two alternating flashing red lights. They alternated about twice per second. The lights looked like short line segments. The lights looked about the same distance apart as the width of Homestead Drive. It was absolutely pitch black. I could see nothing else in the sky: I could not see any object to which they were attached. The two alternating red lights moved together as if they were part of the same rigid structure in the same direction, eastward and out of sight, as the line connecting the lights. I had all the windows of my car rolled up, because it was quite cold. So, I heard nothing. They moved off eastward over Homestead Drive and somehow out of view. The entire event lasted about ten seconds. No time for me to take my cellphone out and snap a photo. While I saw this, my feeling was that this was a police helicopter of some type, or some kind of police or military craft, because the lights were red, and because we have had many airplanes and helicopters from McGuire AFB fly over Homestead in broad daylight, since 1993. I felt it was strange, because of how low it was, but not strange enough to call it alien. It definitely WAS an unidentified flying object: a UFO, as I could not identify it. The fact that these two lights did not make a noise did not impress me. I do not remember them making a sound. But, I would really need to do an independent experiment to compare to the sounds made by known McGuire flyovers. There was some car ahead of me, about 50 meters, on Homestead Drive, traveling in the same direction I was. I was not able to read their license plate. They would have certainly been able to see this thing, too. On Monday, November 6, I posted a note in our clubhouse asking for whomever this driver was, who was out at this same time and location, to contact me. After I got home from the ATM, I called the guardhouse/frontgate to ask if they these lights. The man on duty told me he saw nothing.

While sitting in my hot tub I was looking in a Southward direction waiting for the SpaceX rocket launch, when I saw what I thought was a shooting star, but then I realized there were more lights around what I thought was the star. The lights were in a chevron shape and were very dim. The object with the lights moved across the sky very quickly. It was out of my view within 3 or 4 seconds. The object appeared to be flat and made no sound as it moved across the sky. My boyfriend also saw it as he was in the hot tub with me.

Circular shape, round like a ball, black, gliding very smoothly and passing by fairly quickly. When I zoom in on the picture, there seems to be some kind of circular field around it. [NUFORC annotation: Balloon - Possible]

Saw what we thought was a “low flying plane” but didn’t move, and it was too bright for any stars. Looked like a football with a slightly narrowed bottom. I had my son watch it from the back seat to see if it moved at all but he still says it was still the entire time [NUFORC annotation: Balloon - Possible]

We stepped outside to look for a plane that just flew overhead to get a closer look, when my partner pointed at something else. In the distance, higher up in the sky away from this plane was what looked like a red flashing light over the military base but way up. I considered for a moment that it could be a hot air balloon spinning and catching the sun and flashing when the fire flashed, but it was moving way too fast to be a hot air balloon. It did look about the shape of a hot air balloon and even between flashes it appeared red but it had way too much altitude and was traveling too quickly. Then it changed directions, more than once over the course of several minutes, continuing to intermittently flash a bright red light. My partner says he could see almost a red trail when the red flashes ocurred. The air around the object as well appeared slightly distorted, like when you see heat waves coming off a vehicle during the summer and it distorts the look of the air near it. My partner says he saw what he thinks a sonic boom would do to the air. It grew further away until finally clouds were in the way and we could no longer see it. Now we are watching a bunch of airplanes leave trails that are becoming long clouds and covering this previously beautiful clear blue sky.

I couldn’t make out what it was until I saw the brake lights when it passed. It was a work truck the kind with a single cab and took boxes running down each side of the bed almost like a rectangle. Latter Rack on top. Was literally like in Harry Potter and driving the flying car. I almost passed out. This is now my 2nd sighting in 3 years …mount Hope wv. I also have physical issues that need to be investigated.

At 1025 pm I pulled into the Walmart parking lot on Louis Ave Sioux Falls, A large chevron shaped craft was moving at a very low altitude (100ft to 150ft) approximately 300ft in front of me. The craft was flying slow probably about 30 mph just clearing the top of Walmart, the craft was about the size of a couple city buses and moved with zero noise, the skin of the craft seamed to be coated in a light absorbing material and appeared as a black chevron moving against the back lit sky with a sort of shimmer around the edges, the craft itself had no visible light what so ever it seamed to absorb light, if it were not for the city lit sky you would never see or hear it, because of the city lights it appeared as a chevron shaped hole in space. As it crossed the store heading north it banked east presumably to avoid a air plane that just took off from the air port on the north side of the city, by time I parked my car to get a better look it had moved into a darker part of the sky and was no longer visible against the back drop of the night sky.

While driving home from the grocery store, I saw in the sky a very fast-moving object. I was near 40.23974839965564, -76.89965313955344. While we have a fair amount of airplanes and helicopters in our area, this didn't look like anything I'd ever seen before. It was shaped just like a tic-tac, or a pill; it was glowing white - and though it was moving very fast across the sky, diagonally from my upper right to lower left field of vision, it did not have a motion trail. It was perfectly shaped, meaning the outline of it stood out vividly against the sky, in perfect relief - the line of its shape was perfectly defined against the black sky, like it was drawn there. And it was glowing white, though there was nothing external that was lighting it (ie. no spotlight on it or any other external source of light). It moved very fast across the sky, paused very briefly at a spot in the distance, then rapidly shot straight down towards the ground. It then disappeared behind the skyline of houses and churches on the street. There was no explosion or indication that anything crashed - it just disappeared behind the building line. While I normally can hear and see airplanes, or hear and see helicopters coming in and out of Harrisburg City, there was absolutely no sound here - it was very un-nerving. I got home and took my dashboard camera inside to see if it caught anything. The video shows a light that looks like a shooting star, moving fast across the sky in a straight line from upper-right to lower left of the sky; it then pauses briefly, then shoots down and disappears.

I was traveling on Hwy 87 toward Gilbert. It was around 6 pm. The sun was setting. At first I noticed a group of four crafts in the sky. What alarmed me was how close they seemed to be to each other and that they were slowly moving back and forth in the sky. One by one, the crafts disappeared. I made a turn onto Gilbert Road and saw three more crafts not moving in the sky. These crafts spread out and formed a triangle

First noticed in the sky as it was shiny and not moving. No chemtrails like 3 other high altitude airplanes in the sky at the time. Mentioned to other parents. Took 3 pictures roughly 30 seconds apart until it disappeared from view keeping the same plane in view for correlation. Best view is in first picture where the shape can be discerned well.

An object was crossing the sky in a seeming straight line and consistent slowish speed (a plane flew lower and went much faster). The sun was reflecting off the object so it was bright but it was spinning so it was twinkling. No sound. A plane flew under nearby it much faster and louder. I noticed it on the horizon and watched it cross across the sky above me for at least 5 minutes. Took a cell phone video which also seems to show it was spinning. No spoke or trail behind it. Thought it may be a balloon but appeared higher than the plane and also would have had to be very large to be visible from there. Also it was at a consistent speed and spin, not appearing to be in the wind. [NUFORC annotation: Balloon - Probable]
