We have been seeing a white dot kn the sky approximately at sunrise everyday, whenever it is dark or dim out. It is stationary, doesn’t twinkle or flicker, and is in the exact same spot everyday. A thin shell also appears on the ”corona” of the object. On November 14th and 4th, the object moved southeast, but not too much. [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Probable]

It was recorded on a ring, flying low. It was more of a triangular shape. The object moved at reasonable rate so I thought until I saw the duration of time that passed. I also have screen shots.

Cambridge, OH
My first report was hurriedly done and pics were trapped in my camera. I watched a very bright light through our leafless tree for a couple minutes. I called my husband and we watched together a couple more minutes with binoculars. My husband saw a blue aura. I saw a blue light burst from upper left of object. I got my canon camera and took still shots and 2 videos for 5 minutes. Object started below the trees and then went high. Would go farther than closer. Sighting ended as it seemed to spin and disintegrate. An hour or 2 later a chopper flew over and headed east to where we saw the object. There is a cell phone tower with a burned out red light. When that happens a white light blinks like a strobe light. We wondered if the UFO was attracted to the cell tower. I inquired at the sheriff’s office about any reports. They said no. I didn’t leave my name. Area is sparsely populated.

Very bright white light through leafless tree. Gained elevation and omitted blue light. Changed shape and direction. There is a cell phone tower with a blinking white light because the red light burned out. Thinking it was observing the cell tower.

Sheep mountain, CO
@1730 .Dark,no clouds. Milky Way present. Son and I heading back to hunting camp. We noticed a very bright light that was directly behind a cloudy,or,hazy substance. There were no clouds . Clear night. This light was coming over Sheep Mountain. Coming from the North and NorthWest. Approximately 15-20 thousand feet in altitude. We were approaching Sheep Mountain to our North, North West. Nearest town from the approach angle is Gunnison, Colorado. Hunting camp near Sheep Mountain was @10,100 feet in elevation. Sheep Mountain is over 13,000 feet. We first thought it was a plane's nose light. Thought it was odd about the haze in front of this light. Son turned his headlamp on,and, this object veered to our left,gradually. Travelling South to SouthEast. Saw no id lights,and, no noise. Did not see an object. Light went off,and sky was clear. No object. Other hunters did not see,or, hear anything.

I was driving home from work, and I noticed a bright silver reflection in the sky, I thought maybe it was a plane or helicopter but it appeared to not be moving and after starting for a few seconds I began to wonder if maybe it was the North Star because of how bright it was. After about 15 seconds, it broke into 4 other bright silver reflecting/star like light and then appeared to vanish or camouflage to the sky. It has me so perplexed.

It didn’t make any noise, it is very quiet in Silverwood. There weren’t any contrails. It didn’t have wings.

My husband and I were driving back home on I43 near the exit for 23 when my husband got my attention to an object that was a sphere and silver and shiny, had to be of decent size in the sky. After a minute 1 round light turned on that was white in color, for a few seconds we lost site of the image and when we seen it the sphere was entirely black and going behind a cloud until it was gone. Was moving slowly, then would hover for a few seconds. It just vanished. Watched for it on 23 and seen nothing more.

Curtains were open, blue object had no sound and hoovered long enough to flash me with white beam through window, then floated away. It was very late at night. Will take lie detector test. Other things have been happening too, since the incident. I have audio I'd like someone to hear.

My son says Mom, what’s that and I look up to see about 7 round white orb looking objects traveling in a straight line formation but, as they approach the big dipper "handle", they changed formation into almost a V-shape, and they disappeared. No noise, no wings, no smoke. I tried to get my phone one but, they were gone. It would be easier to draw a picture of what I saw to explain it better. I tried to check satellite websites for any launches (I've seen the satellites in the sky when they launch, and it was nothing like that). I tried to check for any possible military training because we live next to a small coast guard base and 3hrs away from Joint Base Lewis McCord military base but, I couldn't find anything saying that they had training that night. Also, I've seen/heard a lot of military aircraft fly by, and these were completely silent. If I wasn't looking up, I would have completely missed them. The only noise was from other people on the street saying, “Oh my god, what is that!”. I waited to report this because I assumed an article would come out saying they had satellites, trainings, or something to explain what I saw. Obviously, I'm no expert but, I know what I saw. It's been a week and I'm still checking for more information. I'm sure you have way more resources than I do to confirm any sort of explanation and I would love to learn your conclusion! *It's not letting me upload my video or picture. I can provide this if this gets investigated. Thank you for your time.

Casa Grande, AZ
My wife and I were sitting outside giving out Halloween candy to the kids when I noticed a bright rectangular white light (with binoculars looked like two lights on top of a long bright light) to the NortWest. Wind blowing at ground level but rock steady. Maintained the same position for three hours before it became too cold and we went inside. Airplanes flying over and under. Clearly not an airplane or helicopter or consumer drone (no drone can hover for three hours). I am a retired police officer with an aviation background and hold an FAA Commercial Pilot certificate.

Tiverton, RI
I was on flight NK2060 MCO-BOS seating on 25A (window on Port side of the plane) enjoying my vacation. The descent had already started and we were around 15 minutes from landing. I estimate the altitude should be around 6000 feet. I was looking at the window and recognizing other Aircraft models that passed by (I like to do that since I work at an airport and I’m interested in planes). I recognized several of them, but suddenly I saw this spherical object reflecting very bright white blueish light going SW direction. I mean it passed in the opposite direction we were heading and I could see it for about 7 seconds and I didn’t have enough time to grab a camera. It passed by us I would say not more than 1 mile below and 1 mile East and moved at at least double speed of other aircrafts. It had nothing to do with any aspect of an aircraft.

Mount vernon, WA
Too high to see a shape but below the clouds. I took notice because the sun was reflecting erratically off of it and was very bright. Unlike it would on a plane. Though it moved about as fast a plane would be moving at that altitude so I thought ok maybe a plane until. It was heading west at first for about 1 and a half minutes then took a sudden turn to the north east for a minute. It then took a turn to the north east for a minute then again to the north until I could not see it anymore. Not 5 minutes later a military highflyer left a white stream across the sky headed the same direction. Not much of a sighting I guess but I really don't think it was just a plane. Wish I had more to report.

While waiting in front of my house with my two kids and wife for school bus to arrive, we saw a fast, shiny, object moving high in the sky. The object had no white streaks, or flashing lights the way a jet does. It appeared to be moving very fast then it slowed down and then it moved fast again. [NUFORC annotation: Aircraft - Probable]

Several lights about 6 or 7 blinking red and appeared to be evenly spaced and and blinking in synchronized manner from right to left. Appeared to be all one solid piece by the blinking and spacing all moving evenly across the sky. Obtained some video of it. If lights were one solid object then this object was massive. Estimate about 300 yards across. Disappeared as it floated out of sight moving west toward Orange County Ca.

White circular light moving in what seemed to be a fog on a clear night. It moved across the sky staying as a white circle for a few minutes. It appeared to stop, change shapes, get brighter, then a plume expelled from it. Before the plume happened you could see a perfect circle in the center, inside another circle. There is a moment before the plume that the white light reforms as a triangle inside the circle. Then it started to head away from us and became dimmer. [NUFORC annotation: Rocket - Possible]

The Colony, TX
I routinely record timelapse of sunrise and sunsets. Great condition to see 'red skies" on Monday so I broadcast the sunset live on Instagram and also recording a timelaspe to post later. Stopped all recording after sun was down. Still really clouds flowing so I started a new time-lapse 7:37pm - 10:34pm. Downloaded the file and did a quick view before deleting as intended. The flying object showed up a 7:54. I'm close to a small aiport so I'm seeing planes all the time gut nothing like this. I looks huge compared to the other planes flying by that night. It caught my attention immediately and then it does something that projects forward that resembles a sonic smoke right. Captured on a Wyze 2k camera with timestamps.

The light seemed to be flying through a cloud, had a haze around it and seemed to be a directional light changing where it was pointing a couple of times. I am an air traffic controller and the light was verified by a pilot but not seen by our radar services. When the light got south of the airfield it had a seemingly burst of gas the shot out in front of it like a cone shape and then the light slowly faded until it was spotted again about 30 seconds later further to the southeast looking more like a bright star while moving and faded out very rapidly after about 10 seconds and then faded again until it was no longer visible or observed.

Hot Springs, AR
I was in the Dollar Tree parking lot waiting for my kids to come to the vehicle and I noticed something out of the corner of my eye. I turned to look and saw a smoke ring blow off of the light-yellow orb light. By the time I got my camera up to video, the light had moved away but you can barely see it at the two sec mark traveling away in the video I took. It made no noise whatsoever. You can hear the toddler in the vehicle saying something about fireworks. She thought it was fireworks, she saw it as well. She is only two but she saw it. The light looked large and nearby, smoke ring looked very close not far away in the sky so it was either very big and far away or it was local. It was large when first spotted and moved away quickly after the smoke ring shot out. [NUFORC annotation: Rocket - Possible]
