I was observing the sky while driving down the interstate, the sun had already came above the horizon and I noticed this bright orb in the middle of the sky, it did not have the shape of a plane but I continued to keep an eye on it to try and see the telltale signs of blinking red lights which are usually on planes. The object had no blinking lights and I thought for a second that if it was a plane maybe it was heading directly towards me and that's why it didn't seem to move. It wasn't long after that thought the orb disappeared and reappeared some distance away from its original position. It started to climb in an angle at a rate of speed to quick or a plane. Once it reached a certain altitude it stopped again and vanished. Not vanish as in it took off or left my line of sight but vanished right out of thin air, like it was able to turn on a cloaking or camouflage system instantly.

At around 9:00 PM EST, I had seen a light that resembled the space shuttle going up into space. My wife was taking her brother and mother home down the street and I called her up to see if she could see anything. She said she saw 6 objects and one was standing still in the air and the others were going fast in and out of different altitudes. There was no sound of a motor or engine. None of us could explain what we saw.

We have a 1min 20 second video of the sighting. You can clearly see this is not a plane or helicopter. It disappeared very quickly. The best photo is about 43 seconds in.

I went outside to gather kindling and looked up at the sky as usual. In the northern sky, I noticed a string of evenly spaced lights traveling across the sky from west to east. The lights were orbs, somewhat dim, perhaps due to light pollution, and were going across the sky as if pulled along by a string, like a trail of lights moving across the sky. I ran inside and called my husband out. They were still there when he came to look. He stayed outslde, and I ran inside to grab my phone to film it. By the time I returned, they were gone. My husband reports that they just faded and then disappeared. It was already dark at night. The sky was clear at the time and several stars were out. There did seem to be a dim line connecting the lights, but I couldn't be sure. I can't actually say how many there were because there were so many going across the sky, single-file. The orbs were white light all shaped and sized the same. My husband and I live in a rural area alongside a river. Many cows and fields around. The lights came from the direction of a ridge in the northwest that borders our skyline. There was no sound associated with the objects. I am a writer/artist. My husband is a retired plumber.

Saugerties/Woodstock, NY
About 5:40 PM my 11-year-old son and I were driving on route 212 from Saugerties New York, to Woodstock, New York. It was twilight. Roughly halfway there, I saw something in the sky in front of me (south/southwest). It was in the distance. It was a perfectly straight column of white smoke or vapor, like a thick contrail, with darker gray at the bottom. It looked perpendicular to the ground. To both my son and me, it looked like something was falling out of the sky, straight downward. It was not falling quickly, or in an arc, like a meteorite. We were able to see it for a couple of minutes before the road made a turn, and I lost sight of it. Neither of us saw it again, although we did see the empty sky where it should’ve been. A bright star or planet appeared there. My son, and I were both very struck by how strange it was, and how unlike anything we had seen before. As we arrived in Woodstock, we both saw two trails at angles to each other that appeared to be airplanes. They might have just been regular airplanes, but it’s not often that you see two together in the sky over Woodstock. When I got home, I posted a description of the experience on Facebook. A friend who lives in the area mentioned that she had also seen it while driving, and that it looked the same to her. I am a 61 year old psychotherapist, and the other adult that saw this is the director of a school.

I was driving home from work, I noticed a shiny circle in the sky to my left (looking south). At the next stop sign I aimed my phone and tried to take a picture. To my eye, the object was shiny and moving south/southwest. I immediately thought it was a plane, but there was no contrail coming off of it. My next best guess was a satellite, but I’m not sure if you can see those during the day.

Over the past 2 days February 13th 2023 and today February 14th 2023 I’ve seen a object flying in close proximity to passenger jet liners, i only see it for a few seconds at a time but when I do see the object the sun reflects light off of it then it disappears I’ve tried to take photos but it does travel what appears to be faster then normal civilian jets. I’m unsure of what it possibly is, I use a flight radar to see what’s in the area but nothing of what I’m describing is on the radar. The object leaves not jet streams of any sort and there is no audible noise that can be heard.

The sky was blue and clear and from a distance as I was driving onto campus from SW 107th Ave. & SW 18th Street I spotted this object to the left of me (southwest from the campus) at somewhat of a distance that seemed to be what I presumed to be over the main road Coral Way (SW 24th Street). It was hard to gauge exactly what area it was over. This object was not moving like an airplane or helicopter as they typically do. It seemed to be hovering and moving slowly. I took out my phone and snapped these two pics of the object while I was at a stop sign on one of the roads within the university before it would no longer be in my range and prior to me turning right as I had a car behind me (8:04 AM). As you can see from the enlarged pics (#3 & #4) it looks nothing like an airplane, helicopter or balloon.

My initial thought was we are for sure at war with somebody and there are jets or something fighting in the skies over Michigan

I couldn’t sleep and for some odd reason I felt the need to look out my bedroom window. I thought I saw another low flying plane or helicopter of some sort. But it was moving so much more fluid and faster than the plane in the sky behind it. It had rotating lights on the bottom that changed colors and moved fast. I tried taking pictures but it was like my phone couldn’t adjust enough. It moved forward and backwards towards my location slightly rotating from side to side. It lasted for about 30 minutes. I kept my eyes on it the entire time watching the lights change from green to blue, red, yellow, white. I ended up just laying down in bed after each one of my pictures wouldn’t come out clear

I was outside and seen these two orange beems of light. They look like holograms and one disappears and re appears. There are two green circles going in all directions. I took video and photographs. I watched 5 minutes and went inside, they could be out there still.

Driving into town, with my 2 kids, we all noticed bright lights in the distance. As we got 2 miles from town the lights switched direction and from moving south it went east, and it flew right over the car as we had the moon roof open. We saw the unusual craft with bright lights about 200 feet above us. The 3 of us were in awe.

My husband was traveling for business to a larger city about 3 hours from our rural town. It was a beautiful starry evening for traveling especially for February. It was almost 8:00PM when I got an excited call from my usually calm mannered husband. He was amazed to be seeing the Starlink satellite in the sky. Suddenly, however, an orange, round fireball object shot from west to east across the sky. He was beyond frantic, even as a veteran of the US Air Force with training in defense and in remaining calm under extreme circumstances. As we were talking another one hurdled across the sky. He managed to catch the tail end of it on his cell phone camera. He thinks other motorists were equally alarmed as traffic slowed when it happened, yet it was so quick, he said, one could have missed it if not engaged. He honestly thought some sort of attack was underway and was concerned with being 3 hours from home. My daughter and I had just arrived home to our rural property. He asked us if we could see anything unusual. The sky was a velvet black blanket shimmering with stars: it was beautiful! We didn’t see anything, at first. Then suddenly from the northeast a round, orange ball of light came corkscrewing across the sky! It did not fly in a straight line, it corkscrewed! Remember, my husband is 3 hours from my location, and now we’re seeing the same orange balls in the sky! My daughter and I actually jumped up, I with an expletive, in fear! There was no noise to the orange ball, and it didn’t reflect on the ground. It was gone almost as quickly as it came into view, and we were awestruck and horrified. I was still on the phone with my husband who was mortified not to be home. We watched for a bit longer, but nothing occurred and the February chill got the best of us. My daughter and I went into our house, and no other experiences were seen by any of us. Interestingly, and perhaps related, our cat and dog were very active that day. You WILL see the Starlink satellite in the first picture with the orange ball in the lower left corner of the picture but, as I said the orange ball was traveling so fast my husband just snapped the picture, hoping to catch it. The second picture is just a blown up view of the orange ball from the first picture.

Fall River, MA
A bright but a very distant light that continuously would blink and move in erratic motions. Left to right to up to down and then from Northwest to Southwest Etc. The light would reappear in a different space Within seconds. I was able to take photos and a brief video. This was not the satellite. There was no straight line of the movement of the light. Please see photos and video. This happened in southeast Massachusetts above Fall River Massachusetts. My name is ((name deleted)) and my phone number is 508-((telephone number deleted)). My 22-year-old son also witnessed it. He was actually the one who came into the house to get me to show me.

While outside talking on the phone on Monday Feb 13, 2023, I first saw a large sphere of light illuminate in the northeast horizon. It was much bigger and brighter than any meteor I have ever seen. It did not move. It stayed lit up for approximately 5-10 seconds and then disappeared. Less than 30 seconds later, in the northern sky, just west of the light I had just seen, a large string of lights in the formation of a chevron, illuminated in front of me. They did not move. Each light appeared to be rectangular. This was a huge formation of lights. Much larger than any single aircraft known to man. The lights didn't move but simply went out after 15-20 seconds. I ran to the door and yelled for my wife and son to come outside. Within the next minute or two, the string of lights illuminated again, but the formation had changed slightly from the original chevron. They only lasted for 20-30 seconds again before going out again. For several minutes before the first spherical light was seen, a deep growling jet-like aircraft noise was heard. This noise seemed to get faint at one point, as if a jet was traveling away from us, then its growl increased and stayed in the air for several minutes after the lights went out. The noise was heard for approximately 20 plus minutes. Our home is on a high peak of a hill in the foothills of the Ozark mountains and aircraft noise is always louder because of the reverberation between the hills. That reverb sometimes makes it hard to pin-point exactly where the sound was originated. We could not say for sure the jet sounds were from the lights, or possibly even military craft tracking the lights. It is important to note that our home is approximately 8-10 miles from an active nuclear power plant.

Not moving, have lights, in a strange formation, with all of the media and government reportings lately, I thought I should document it and report it
