Farmington Hills, MI
saw a bright silver metallic object in sky moving shape and then saw a disk shaped turned into side way, and disappeared. It was a clear bright sunny day with no clouds so sighting were clear and I am 150% sure the object got disappeared. It was moving in south direction from the city Farmington Hills, Michigan at around 1:45 PM EST

I am a new airline pilot and my Captain was a very experienced airline pilot flying jets for almost 30 years. We had never seen anything like this before. My captain asked me to take a look at a “star” that was northwest of our position, seemingly very far from us and about 30 degrees above the horizon. This “star” was shining brighter than anything else in the sky, other than the moon which was behind us. Over the course of a few seconds, this object dimmed its brightness until it was invisible, then a few seconds later began to brighten back to the original brightness. This occurred maybe 4 or 5 times. This light was not moving relative to the stars at this time. After the last dimming, we began to see multiple lights that looked like stars (at least 3 objects possibly 4), but they began moving in very strange ways. They appeared to be orbiting each other, then stationary, then they would move very fast across the sky and sometimes change direction rapidly. One of them dove down and disappeared on the horizon faster than anything I have ever seen or heard of. After about 20 minutes of this, we stopped seeing any more activity from that area. We had our main Flight Attendant observe the area of the sky after we stopped seeing the activity and she was unable to see anything as well. We did not report the sighting to ATC and we were not monitoring “guard” frequency to see if anyone else had seen something similar. In the map posted below, I made a red dot showing our approximate location. The green arrow shows our approximate flight path, and the orange arrow shows the direction of the objects (please note I cannot estimate distance to the objects)

Thetford, VT
Driving North on interstate 91 just past the Thetford exit. I witnessed an extremely bright object appear in the sky. The object then split into two separate equally bright objects. One of the two objects shot off across the night sky and was out of sight within half a second. The remaining stationary object faded into the night sky over the course of the next 10 seconds.

Marietta, GA
While I was driving south bound on I75 in Marietta, GA, I saw an odd formation of lights, all in a row in the sky. It seemed to be moving slowly. Looking at Starlink trackers, there was none to be seen at that location, at that time. It looked shorter than a Starlink satellite. The lights were very bright and did not appear to be attached

Coming back from Seattle and the two crafts were just hanging in the sky. I watched it for a while before bringing the attention to another person. Neither one of us can really describe them but we've seen it now a total of 3 times. 2nd time same area. 3rd time over the ocean in Ocean Shores WA.

I know that you do not want pictures, but the silver like colored image in my picture appears to be hidden or possibly hiding in the clouds. I was taking pictures of clouds from my back window which faces west toward the SF Bay direction and the figure appears to be using the clouds as cover—that is my guess. I attached a picture which is in the upper right hand size above the corner of the garage. [NUFORC annotation: Bird - Possible]

Lakewood / Golden, CO
Went to a restaurant in Lakewood, when I noticed an odd object in the sky as I approached the doors of restaurant. Studied it closely and noticed no gondola, so ruled out balloon. Color was black and rectangular in shape, ruling out weather balloon as well. No sound, but object appeared to be approximately 1/2 mile from me. Sky was clear, so I took two pictures with my cell phone as I watched it to the southwest of my position moving west. Sun was above me and to my left, not interferring with the photos. Snapped shots and returned to the restaurant.

Lancaster, NY
Looking towards SE sky, traveling in an easterly direction, oval (UFO??) surrounded all around by very bright lights around a vertical oval shape moving moderately, not fast, not slowly caught my eye. Watched about 5 minutes, not wanting to search for my cell phone. Not close by, cannot estimate distance, but high up, then saw it through tree branches, then disappeared quickly (perhaps behind a cloud??). Certainly very strange.

I took the dog out for potty and there it was, the only thing visible in the sky, a very brightly flashing colorful ufo. Colors were red, green, orange, blue. It was vertical and long for some time then changed to horizonal. The lights continued flashing the entire time we saw it. We were able to see if from our house for about 20 minutes then it disappeared below the treeline on the hill. We tried to take a picture of it but it was too far away to come out clear. There is another report I read on this website in February 2022 same county, same state, same description.

Shelby Township, MI
I was driving and saw a bright strange looking single round light in the sky that, when it caught my eye, was already falling down towards the Earth, moving slightly faster than free fall speed. As it got closer to the ground it just disappeared, almost as if behind clouds. As it came down I was like “what is that? A bomb or something?” I have never seen a shooting star like that, it looked larger and clearer and just a different kind of light. Hard to explain but it just seemed very different, and I tend to stargaze a fair amount. It did sort of fade out I guess, but not like a shooting star, and it was slower than a shooting star, way slower.

I came out to have a cigarette with my sister in law and noticed a large shadowy object over the treeline. It did not make a sound! 2 bright white lights one on each side and a flashing yellowish light in the middle in like Morse code type blinking. moving at a gliding pace, the object seemed to " blend in" with the night sky.. it came from the west and headed east. It was too big, moving too low and no sound! So it was not a plane ! And I have been an amateur astrologer for my whole life (43) so I know the night sky.

Lincoln, NE
Someone I know mentioned to me that they seen two bright lights west of Lincoln over airpark. I said I seen the exact same thing. This happened for about a week I decided to drive out into the country with my camera that has a incredible zoom on it and when I zoomed up on it it was moving because my camera was on a tripod. It looked like a disc flying vertical. And then it would dissipate. I could tell by taking numerous videos and photos of the sky at night that this was not a star. The two lights were bright enough in the west sky at night that it's hard to not notice them.

Villas, NJ
Coming home from shopping with the wife we stopped at the traffic light on Bayshore and E Greenwood Ave and to the right on E Greenwood Ave we saw a low flying aircraft that was dropping a red glowing object of sorts. After watching for a few seconds it stared moving towards the Bayside, I put my window down and didn't hear anything unusual. We continued to watch it as we turned down our street which was only a 2 blocks away and as I tried taking a photo a black vehicle rushed behind me and started flashing highbeams and tailgating, after the aircraft started to drift more to the left side leaving our line of site, the black vehicle turned down left on one of the cross roads in the neighborhood seemingly to follow the craft. In the diagram drawing the aircraft looks way bigger then the moon which we used for scale, but taking in the factor that it was only about 7 stories high in the air, it's kinda hard to scale the aircraft accurately.

Triangle shape of lights moved from east to west in front of the the Orion belt formation the triangle had an equal length of lights on each side. The lights were dim as if they were far away and traveled in a straight line the sighting only last 3-5 seconds then my whole body got chills.

Mooresville, NC
I was in my next door neighbor's backyard with him at 125 Quinn Ln at dusk. There were two passenger airlines that were approaching for landing at Charlotte Douglas International traveling from North to South. I commented that the first plane was flying lower than they normally do when they fly over our property. I also pointed out the Venus/Jupiter conjunction to him which was in the direction the plane was traveling. Shortly after the first plane passed, while I was looking at the conjunction, I spotted a turquoise light traveling at a high rate of speed from south to north. It would have been to the starboard side of the planes. It appeared to be at a similar altitude as the planes. I’m hoping they saw it and will report to corroborate the sighting. The object was a unique glowing ball of light of a turquoise color, but it didn’t look like a drone which I have seen several times in the area and will make a buzzing sound. I pointed it out to my neighbor. We were both astonished at its appearance, speed, and behavior. Neither of us have ever seen anything like it. We watched as it appeared to be traveling at an incredibly high rate of speed from south to north and was completely silent. It made a few sudden directional change maneuvers which would not be physically possible for any aircraft that I am aware of, especially at such a high rate of speed. We were in awe at what this unusual object was doing and didn’t have time to photograph it. The sighting lasted approximately 10 seconds. I took a photograph shortly after the sighting just so you can see our vantage point. The object traveled from near the Venus/Jupiter conjunction on the left and we lost sight of it as it went behind the house on the right.

Richmond, VA
I saw the object at appx 4:40 p.m. moving in a north easterly direction. Using power binoculars, it appeared to be round and bright. However, I'm pretty sure that was a reflection of the very light cloud cover at that location. It cleared the wispy clouds and then appeared to be long but still very bright. Red and gold colors. Hard to tell if it was a reflection, which I assumed it was. Again, it was very slow, very high, very bright and changed direction.

I saw this really unusual object in the sky between 1430 and 1500 above our house. It was a sphere translucent white circle that appeared suddenly while we were flying a kite. The orb came close to the kite horizontally and stopped moving for about 6 seconds and then it suddenly disappeared by moving in the opposite direction horizontally. It almost seemed to have been inspecting what it was that we were flying (our kite) and then returning it’s trajectory.

California I live by a volcano Mount konocti it's a three million year old lake and a scene over the lake was a beach ball is like a clear beach ball with the cube in it really weird and at first I thought it was like a box kite but then it took off real fast after it was just sitting there in the air suspended…. A few minutes later couple helicopters and airplanes came by. Don't know if it was on the Air Force or what thank you for listening.

I thought maybe it was a floating balloon until suddenly it move to the right of me and up and out of my view. There were other planes in the sky here as usual but this object looked drastically different from what I'm used to seeing. I tried to yell for my family to come and see this object but that's when it moved away and out of view. It turned into a red color before it disappeared.

I was excersicing yesterday outside with my hula Hoop. I noticed a dark object floating circulating and flying oddly not like a plane. At first it looked like a triangular plane, but it was not flying like a plane. It moved in circular and zig zag ways. My mom also saw it. I lost sight if it, and reappeared. She said to her it looked like paper debris. I was able to zoom-in very close to take screenshoot of it.

Flying between Austin, TX and Montreal at 41,000 feet over the Great Lakes, we saw four to five bright lights for a period of at least thirty minutes. They were in front of us and well above us in altitude, and although we traveled well over two hundred miles during that time they always seemed to remain the same distance out ahead of us (hard to tell how far, but they were not close….maybe a hundred or more miles ahead of us). These lights moved up and down and from side to side and would disappear and reappear, and their level of brightness would change constantly. White in color. Another airliner reported seeing the same thing. Air traffic control said they had no traffic above us and recommended we report here.

Blue springs, MO
This is the second time I've seen around 15 small lights flying in the sky at night together like a flock of birds. So this time it was in a different location in the sky. Same color lights. Same size. There seemed to be more of them this time tho. & they still moved like a flock of birds but it was a little bit messyish this time. They move faster than air planes that's for sure. The distance it traveled before going back into the clouds would have taken a plane maybe eh idk let's say 10 sec..these things can travel that Same distance in 3 sec. Sounds crazy I know but I was just sitting there thinking I wonder if I'll ever see that again and then I looked up and here these lights come popping out the clouds and going back in again. I 100% believe that is aliens now after seeing it again. I'm baffled and amazed.

Springfield, IL
Circle object dimly reflecting light from the city moving west-southwest in a straight line. It disappeared from view as it got close to the horizon. It made absolutely no sound, appeared to be around the size of a medium sized airplane, and was moving much faster than the speed of normal commercial air traffic. I was in the US Navy, I've seen all kinds of aircraft, and I've travelled all over the world, but I have never seen something like this, much less move at that speed and make no sound at all.
