My daughter thinks I’m nuts and she thinks it a flock of birds. However these birds would have to be huge because it was nearly 2 miles away. It could be clouds, maybe? Or a weather balloon or space junk falling to earth. Well it’s your job to tell me what we saw! I have pictures but they are not very good.

Baltimore, MD
I saw a white object flying through the sky. It's a clear but cold day. At first I thought it was a plane but the shape was wrong. It was flying too high to be a helicopter. It was flying on a consistent and smooth trajectory like a plane, but there was no trail behind it. The straight flight and path also did not seem consistent with a consumer drone. There also did not appear to be wings. It appeared more the shape of a bottle. I've uploaded some photos I took with my camera phone fully zoomed in. Altitude seemed around or slightly lower than a plane would usually be.

St. Louis, MO
I was on a 30 min break outside, it was 30 degrees with a light breeze, approximately 0137AM-0141AM. As I was sitting outside of my building (Anthem STL) steps (facing toward the Union Station Hotel above the left side of the building in sky @ 130-150 degrees SE), I caught a very quick glance of a bright white flash it was a perfectly orb/spherical like figure that had appeared to be zipping downwards at what appeared to be curve and right as it was doing that it disappeared in the sky it was clear a night/morning no clouds were visible. Observer is a security supervisor who is 21 at the time of the sighting who works overnights (2200PM-0600AM).

Two very bright objects glowing white, that I at first glance thought were stars were slowly moving across the sky to my southwest. One was slightly behind and above the other.

A large green sphere that would flash off and on. It was larger than the setting. Extremely clear. Noticed very odd clouds that were ribbed going in several directions.

On the way to Wapaca, Wisconsin, WI
While driving to Wapaca on Highway 54, at 8:48 a.m. 02/17/23 I looked at the sky and saw something that was at great altitude falling from sky. That location has a lot of agricultural areas, and trees. It seemed to come down from a great altitude, I didn’t see it landing nor listened any noise (it didn’t occur to open the car windows. Watching the videos 3 of them I extracted a picture out of one of them which I am including. I check if there were some reports, the only two one about the dust of meteorites around the sun an another from Texas 23 hours ago, where people heard a sound after a meteorite fell on the ground.

Sheridan, OR
I was driving East down Highway 18 looking at the morning sunrise, as traffic slowed and then came to a stop. I looked over south into the sky and saw a bright light that looked disk shaped with another lower rectangular shape below it moving slowly. The bright light seemed very abnormal with the contrast of the clouds and sunrise. I immediately pulled off the Hwy, took an initial photo on my phone, then tried to refocus to identify the object better, and it was gone.

I saw the object approaching at a slow rate of speed . I thought it was a flock of birds then noticed the size wasn’t consistent with a group of birds and the movement was strange almost as if it hovered . Then I noticed it had what seemed to be a payload attached. The object seemed to hover then moved in a westerly direction. I thought it was moving slowly but it went out of sight as if it was traveling faster than the wind would carry it .

Date is approximate. Between 3:30-4:30 am, end of September. Working on a airport ramp I looked up in to the distance, saw a orange/yellow/red light (kinda eggish) suddenly appear, no trail , did not see it traveling before it appeared. It appears then heads up in about a 45° angle and gets larger right before it disappeared. Like the light, which is what it appeared to be from my distance, just appeared and vanished within a second. I'm familiar with seeing planes approaching the ramp and it was not that. It was much further in the distance and suddenly went up at an angle. It did not come in to vision like a plane either.

Catasauqua, PA
It was about 12:30am and I went out to the parking lot to smoke. There was a strange hum in the sky behind me. There was nothing in the sky I could see but, the strange sound sounded about a block away and lower than a helicopter. I Heard Something flying above!!! No shit!! Called police and they gave me a number to call. They said to go here. Don't think I'm gonna sleep tonight.

The white blobs look like therir zooming from my roof. I can't see them with my naked eye.They set off my motion Alarm, i can watch from my phone. They take on different shapes like some are tools or something searching for something or sending someone a signal. I have many videos and pictures. Please help me figure these things out. I live by an airforce base & Transformers.

I was on my back porch and I looked up at the sky and at first glanced it looked like a fire in the sky but as I focused it was a an orange/ reddish orb. The light wasn’t blinking. It looked as if the light was “falling” but then it stopped hovered and then flew away. It was very strange and very brief. The most amazing part is I actually got it on camera! I was really surprised my phone camera picked up that light. Also, one of the boxes below says to check if it has lights but it appeared to be one big light like an orb. There was no sound but it could have been too far away for me to hear? It was night time so I’m not sure how far away it was. I see that I can attach my video as well, please excuse my language I was excited and a little concerned at the same time.

2 lights in sky. Not moving. One is much higher. Just sitting camped over Gulf of Mexico. Some fishing boats present. Upon viewing through binoculars, they each appear metallic. There is a single light source in the middle of whatever this is. There are what look like windows on each thing. Bottom light has gotten dimmer in last few minutes.

Lakewood, CO
Sphere hovered in place at an altitude of maybe 500-1000ft before it rose swiftly and also moved east in direction. A single engine plane flew by somewhat at the same altitude and I lost track of it briefly to find it in the sky again at a much higher altitude and very far away to our south east. The object was spherical and through binoculars I could see a seam that wrapped around it. It also seemed to change colors from grey to white but not like a shadow.

At first I thought I was looking at a star (same size and white color as the other stars in the sky at that time), but then it started moving in a straight line. It wasn't a plane (only one light, and too small or far away to be one), so it had my curiosity. As I watched and it seemed to lose some brightness, all of a sudden it made a sharp left turn. Now I'm definitely interested. It now travelled on a straight line in its new direction. After watching for a few minutes, it seemed to get less and less bright, until I could see it no more. The entire time I viewed it was approximately ten minutes.

Troup, TX
Around 11:10pm I saw a bright, one orb-like white light in the sky. First thinking it was a plane, but it didn’t move in just a straight line. The orb made various movements (forwards, backwards, circles, diagonal) in the sky and left a trail of light behind it. The brightness of the object faded in and out randomly/inconsistently. The brightness of this orb-like object was brighter than the stars surrounding it. After five or ten minutes, it completely vanished as though someone had turned off a light-switch.

Jacksonville, FL
My husband and I were driving when we noticed what looked like 2 orange fireballs in the sky. I did not see them first appear, but just happened to look up and saw them. We stopped the car and got out to get a better look. They were flying west toward Cecil Field, parallel to each other/ side-by-side, at the same rate of speed. They appeared to be flickering slowly, getting dim and then bright again, but they were also going up and down slightly, almost like the were floating or bouncing on the wind... like they were dancing. Then the one to my right dimmed and went out completely. After maybe 15 more seconds the other dimmed and went out. Since it was late at night and the sky was dark I could not tell if there were any objects in the sky after their lights went out. They were not aircraft, because there were no other lights or even a craft seen. There was also no sound. They did not behave like flares or skydivers with flares. They were not falling, but flying straight ahead, keeping the same altitude and same rate of speed.

Too fast to be a drone, strange humming noise; flew up at an angle to tree line and then made about 15 fast translucent (but visible) horizontal lines as it descended and then could no longer be seen in the dark forest. There were no lights associated.

There were three lined up circles/star like objects and two more higher on the left and the right and one on bottom right of area of sky but the one on the bottom was moving and slowly fading and one by one they got dimmer and dimmer and separated until they disappeared I also have video evidence

I had just walked out of the School when I saw an airplane and stopped to view it. Then I noticed a smaller object fly past it, heading the opposite direction. I could see the wings/fins of the plane but not the other object so I took a picture and second picture on accident. I was trying to record but wasn't able to in time as it flew past and my school building blocked it. I reviewed the photos and zoomed in on them further only to see it was a disk without any kind of wings or fins.it seemed Grey and it was over a clear blue sky. Even stranger is that in the second picture I took I noted it seem the width had decreased and wasn't as slim? Could be the angle. I'm not sure.
