The star blinks and moves across the horizon at night. It blinks like an airplane but dosnt move! Now if you walk away and come back and look again it's moved it moves to the right in a straight line. Iv seen this at night during the winter months for about 4 years now. It used to be right in front of my house this year its further down the beach but it's still here! Iv tried recording it dosnt work my phone can't pick it up.

Pleasant valley, NY
Driving on salt point turnpike heading south/west I noticed a bright reflecting object. It seemed to be diamond or cylinder shape. It seemed to have some exhaust or other oscillating air/field around it. I estimate it was about 10-15,000 feet up, because it was much lower in the sky than a jet passing overhead. I could not tell the distance or size. It would float still when I was looking at it. Sometimes I would look back and it would appear to have moved. Disappeared after 3-5 minutes. The flight tracker I checked did not have anything close by - only much further south.

Klamath Falls, OR
Sister-in-law was heading home from picking up niece when she saw a bright light that’s not typically in the sky. It was north west of Klamath Falls. Very bright, moving very slow. My father’s been in the Air Force for 20 years. I’ve never seen anything like it. I’m a military brat. I’ve lived on multiple Air Force bases. I was told never to report anything like this, so I’m kind of nervous.

Ballard, WV
This is my second sighting in about 8 days. The first bought me by surprise. I was putting clothes in the dryer when a very bright light got my attention. I turned to look out the window and saw what appeared to be a helicopter shining a light or laser beam down toward the top of the mountain. I grabbed my phone but in my excitement had not turned the video on. When I did the beam had retracted but I did get a 53 second clip that showed the light spinning and shooting across the sky in many directions. Do I have been watching the sky and last evening about 6:40pm I had my camera ready and captured another dancing ball of lights. The colors were green red white and maybe yellow. It seemed to vibrate and change from a solid to a ball of specs. It shot off in various directions. There appears to be 2 other quick tiny flashes of light, one at top right and bottom left as if it was not alone. I have a couple short clips of that also. Don’t know if it’s true but I was told there is a secret military base somewhere in these mountains. I am a minister and retired tech professional. I’m not sure what else to say. Hope this is of interest to an expert. I certainly like to find out what it is and why it’s out there. I can’t seem to find my video content on my phone to upload but it’s there. How else can I get it to you. I need to know what it is.

Bridgewater, MA
I was driving south down my street, saw what appeared to be a light either moving forward with a light trail behind it or casting a cone shaped spotlight. Airplane passed by it and it bare no resemblance. Pulled over to try and take picture. Had somewhere to be and left before it disappeared. Drive back in same direction 35 minutes later and it was gone.

Lehighton, PA
Went on back porch. Wife said "look!" I looked where she was pointing and saw a small bright sort of roundish but not disc shaped "craft". No wings or anything being followed close by a jet. High speed high altitude. Jet had contrails behind it object didn't. They flew above a cloud I could see the object through the cloud but not the jet. Object suddenly changed direction. Jet came out of cloud seemed to lose sight. Jet seemed to spot it again over the tree line and turned sharply to follow leaving an angled contrail in the sky. Object was heading west ward. While in cloud suddenly went north with great speed lost sight as it went past the pine trees across the street. After a 15-20 seconds another jet came by from a southward direction and followed the direction of the object and jet. A 3rd jet came and did the same. I would say the object looked similar to some of the more recent reports that have been recognized by Military as unknown aerial phenomena.

Winters, CA
On January 23, 2023 about 11:55 pm I was looking at the “3 sisters stars” a cluster of stars and to the right of this cluster seemed to be many falling stars. The falling stars then became an object coming toward my location. The object’s oval body was opaque blue/black with transparent wings. The wings had about 5 white lights on each wing. As the object flew closely overhead there was no engine sound, no high pitch sound, only the sound of air moving in the quiet sky. From wing to wing the object is about as long as two roof tops of 1500 square foot homes.

North Fort Myers, FL
On January 23rd 2023 at 10:45pm I went outside on my deck to get some fresh air staring up at the sky I noticed what appeared to be a satellite I watched it for at least one minute going west and then all of a sudden it made a u-turn going the opposite direction going east I watched it for at least another minute in that direction before I couldn't see it anymore it seemed like it was a lot higher than a normal satellite to me and dimmer not as bright.

Hilmar, CA
Craft hovered in the northern sky, it then rapidly moved to the western shy and hovered in a lower position for about 45 to 50 minutes then vanished. It was bright and appeared to have lights on both sides of the craft with a dark space in the front. It also appeared to be oval or triangle shape.

I've seen multiple a few weeks ago, no less than 7. Tiny silver specks came from underneath them, both times. I saw one in the woods across from my house and it was completely silent. Fog rolls in and a sewage smell is definitely apparent.

Kailua, HI
Taking pics of Orion about 2 hours after sunset. Noticed Sirius was sparkling like a diamond below. Took picture. Then magnified to see how close i could bring the star. Noticed then the red object( reflecting red from volcanic haze in atmosphere?) I thought it odd and unrecognizable to me.then heard about Chinese surveillance and thought if might be that kind of object. Anyway, thought i would send it to you considering the hoopla in our skies lately.

Statham, GA
I went out to let the dog out and it is a super crisp, clear evening and the stars are very bright. I looked up and saw Orion's belt and noticed two stars to the left(which would be north from where I was standing, so I was facing east and could see Orion mid lower in the eastern sky. I noticed these stars and thought, how have I never seen these before. They were as bright as the main stars in the rest of the constellation, and I have looked at the night sky my entire life and have never seen them, so I was staring at them trying to figure this out.They seemed to be moving, but not left to right, it was as if they were moving maybe a millimeter to the right toward the belt, but the movement was so slight it was as if they were flying away from earth. Both lights/starts/ufos were moving at the same rate and their light dimmed at the same time. They were super bright and then over maybe a minute they got dimmer and dimmer and then disappeared, however they were the same brightness as the stars when I initially noticed them. If they were some sort of ship, they would have been flying at the same pace/ distance from earth and in the same direction --completely in tandem. The light was bright white light, no other colors.Their distance from each other was a few inches in terms of my view the sky(so like if I held my hand one foot from my face and held my fingers and inch apart), so farther than the three stars in the belt, but not as far as from the belt to the other stars in the constellation.

See sighting summary and a flashing "star" in the eastern sky. It flashes red, blue, green and yellow. Too high and fast to photograph.

With camera in slo motion capture mode, you’ll notice an unknown object flying really fast in the background.

Burkesville, KY
I was stopped at red-light before a bridge that crossed the Cumberland River. Two small satellites converged, coming from different directions. About a mile over the river and about a half mile from my vehicle. They started exchanging bolts of energy or communication. I don't know. The exchange only lasted about 30 seconds. Than they moved apart and flew off. Again in different directions. They made no noise at all.

Benicia, CA
I was sitting on a bench at the waters edge of downtown Benicia enjoying my coffee and muffin before work. I was looking south-bound towards port costa and what caught my eye was this shimmer of something metallic moving very still and straight east-bound. The objects reflection got brighter and my eyes lost focus because I was also facing the sun and could no longer see it or where it went. My immediate reaction was to dismiss it as a small airplane that caught reflection off the sun and then I lost focus of it. That's when I noticed 3 airplanes that I could positively identify as such at much further distances emitting chem trails. One plane was traveling the exact same course as said unidentified object except my eyes didn't lose focus of it despite the sun and was not reflecting sunlight either. The movement of the object was way to still, straight and ominous to be a plane. Why would I even witness a reflection if the object was between myself and the sun? the light would reflect south and not north in my direction and why did it disappear after it got to its brightest point and in mid-day? What the hell did I witness?

Gustine ( about 5 miles west of Gustine), CA
was watching an airliner on an unusual south to north path that was putting out a large jet trail when I caught sight of a triangle object traveling west to east under the airliner’s elevation. It stayed visible for about 15 minutes then disappeared. It was light grey with white lights , this was without any optical aids.

Rohrsburg, PA
I saw what I thought was the international space station but it was slightly less bright. I've seen the ISS many times. Then I noticed another dimmer light in front of it that appeared to be leading it. I thought it was star link but there were only 2 lights with nothing visible in between them. The lights were as far apart as the big dipper is long. I checked the ISS flyover times and none were scheduled at that time. I have seen other satellites before but never one following another. They never blinked and they were traveling from north to south. I also saw this same event 5-8 weeks before this but I don't remember the date. I do know I saw that at 5:40 AM when I saw it and it was traveling from northwest to southeast. During both these events it was dark and the stars were bright.

Benicia, CA
I went out into my back yard at approximately 5:30 am while waiting for my coffee to brew and saw an aircraft above flying in from the SSW. Nothing unusual there. I then took a gander at the stars and noticed one was moving, coming from the southeast. Not quickly but slowly, at the speed of a plane, and it was flickering, if not blinking, but with only white lights. I thought it was too high for a plane so I figured it might be a satellite. So I continued to watch it and after about five seconds it momentarily stopped, made a small looping movement off course to the southwest and then back on course, continued for a moment, then made a straight movement to the southwest again, returned to its original course and then stopped dead and remained still. I watched for another minute or so, but it didn't move, so I went back inside. It covered two inches of sky I'd say and the side movements an eighth of an inch.
