KENNESAW, GA
This happened on January 23 or 24 2023 I was on my 2nd story balcony which faces some woods about fifty yards away. It’s about 4:05 in the morning the night sky is perfectly clear I can see a large part of the night sky. Out of the corner of my eye far above in the sky I see a light falling extremely fast. I have only two to three seconds to view the object and focus on and understand what I am seeing. It is a UFO I am 150 to 200 yards away I have a perfect view. It is a white globe the white surface has texture it has a gold and dark brown ring around the globe there are blue flames coming beneath it like a gas stove but different long string like flames bright opaque blue. It made no sound there was no impact it went behind the tree line. That was it and that was weird.

Fowler California, CA
I was driving in manning Avenue going home from work as I was driving I noticed a bright light like the color of the sunset in the sky it was in a diamond shape it was about 400 feet above ground but as I kept studying it , it would get nearer to the earths ground it was going up and down around the fields it was located about farms and fields the country side of Fowler. As I was driving slowly I rolled down my window and I saw the entire craft go dark from the upper part of it but the bottom of the aircraft had small low beam lights and they blinked in a pattern in threes . I then seen it disappear into the atmosphere like of blended into the night skies color but no pattern was left behind once I seen it disappear I seen the object turn small almost like a star in the sky but it disappeared like it opened a portal or dimension and left this earth. What amazed me was how it didn’t make a sound - no engine it was just silent. I was so amazed at what I saw I was so happy I had the privilege to be a witness I hope I encounter another experience like this. I did not record or take any picture because I was driving and because I decided to live it in the moment.

Delta 8934 MIA-MSY, B757, flight level 380, we began to observe a small, point-light object moving rapidly in the vertical and horizontal. The sighting was towards our 11 o’clock and we were headed due West, over the Gulf of Mexico, offshore from KSRQ, approximately between BAGGS and REMIS waypoints. It was a very dark night, and we had the lighting as dim as possible in order to help us detect thunderstorm build ups over the Gulf. The object appeared intermittently over about 30 minutes, and would vary in brightness intensity. Sometimes the object glowed very bright, much brighter than a typical planet. Then it would fade to a dim point, and accelerate in various directions, unlike most aircraft I’ve ever seen, including military fighter aircraft I have flown. It would appear for about 5-10 seconds each time. We observed it illuminate, and then accelerate rapidly straight down. It illuminated, and went pure vertical. It got very bright, then dim, and accelerated horizontally, and continued into an arcing zoom climb before fading out. A nearby shooting star occurred, which looked very distinct from this phenomena. Various iterations of these maneuvers occurred and the sighting was reported to ATC. ATC confirmed there were no unusual aircraft out tonight besides the usual traffic. At first sighting, the object appeared in the general direction of another airliner at 40 miles to our 11 o’clock, and had a very distinct appearance from strobed aircraft lighting. ATC then said there was a previous report in that area 2 hours prior. We turned northwest towards HRV (New Orleans area) and lost sight of any further activity.

Nowata, OK
Driving home from coffeville to nowata, its a dark drive and I window watch, noticed an amber light in the sky expected it to go out of view but it stayed in exactly the same position the entire drive, husband saw it too, seemed to have a smaller light just behind it, this too , no movement just hung in the sky, i thought it might be a tower but.. it would have gone from view but this held its position for entire 30 minute drive from town to town. No flashing, no fading, no other lights, just hanging there, i even checked to see if it was a reflection from something in the truck, negative. My husband pulled over and I opened the window and pointed to it so it was no reflection…. Was still in the sky as we pulled in, but off in the distance.

A trail of 4 bright lights and then they were almost in square. They moved left to right up down and changed color. Then one disappeared and then another. This was not a drone or a ballon. No sound

There was 3 orbs visible in the beginning of the video, the furthest one away seemed like it was moving, but from a very long distance, and then it disappeared. The other 2 remained in their position before the second one started to take off. At some point they totally vanished from view.

Athens, OH
I was walking to meet my friends at a restaurant on Court St. Athens Ohio. When I was walking out of my building I noticed the a light in the sky that was flashing green, blue, purple, and white. This light was not moving and continues the flash in what seemed to be a color coordinated sequence. I took 2 short videos, and observed the flashing light until I got into the restaurant.

It kept changing colors so we thought it may have been a space link, not sure exactly what they call those. It was not moving right along it was jetting around a little bit while changing from white to red to green etc

I have a single frame form my doorbell camera. The loud noise which was unlike a plane (I ama Pilot) woke me up as a whoosh and I had a motion detection on my doorbell camera. This attached photo is the only one clear frame of the object.

Watching Mt. Etna live cam from "AfarTV" youtube channel. Past 4AM I witness a UAP leave the side of Mt. Etna. I capture it on video thinking it was a bug at first then, but before it's "flash" a glow appeared before it zoomed away then it was gone and left a light trail for a split second leaving what looks like residual light in some clouds. The second sighting was an orb appearing out of no where and entering Etna from 6:20AM-6:50AM Mediterranean time based off of the live stream. They would not switch it to day mode even though the sun would have been out at the time!

Football pitch sized (approximate) sized cutout opened in the dense clouds at night, moon visible through this hole. The edges of the clouds were sharp and the shape was distinctly symmetrical down the length of the would-be object. This was directly over Lunken Field in Cincinnati, Ohio. Four to five minutes elapsed, and the cloud volume swirled back into place rapidly. There was apparent cloud movement in the lower atmosphere that night, and this punch-out stayed perfectly still during the duration it was there. I have not seen any online live-feed or Artemis cameras from that night that would be facing directly upward or have that portion of the sky in their field of view. Local AM radio was not being received by my vehicle at the time this occurred, then was clear when switched back on after returning to car.

I was taking out the garbage for the next morning pickup at a little past 9:30 PM Jan 20th, and I happened to look up in the sky towards the ocean (southeast). My attention was drawn to what I thought were 3 aircraft flying in an odd formation past and a little higher (in perspective) than the neighboring rooftops across the street. Each had one orange light, with no other lights visible (no navigation or anti-collision lights, etc). While the first formation was moving in a northeast direction, the middle object in the first formation of 3 made a sharp sudden dive towards the ground and pulled back up as sharply, rejoining the other two objects in formation. They were followed by a second formation of 5 additional objects (lights) perhaps 5 to 10 seconds behind the first formation, flying at a similar speed and in the same northeast direction. Also with one orange light each, with no navigation or anti collision lights visible on any of the group in the second formation. There was no sound from any of the objects in either formation, either during or afterwards. The shape or outline could not be determined in the short time both formations were visible (about 30 seconds, plus or minus). Sight of both formations was lost behind trees and other houses, and may have gone behind low clouds in that part of the night sky when I went to the back of the house to try and regain sight of them, without any luck. Usually, if there are helicopters flying overhead or nearby, they can easily be heard. If there 2 or more, the racket is unmistakeable. Small or large aircraft also are unmistakeable. I pretty much thought these objects were drones, or maybe ultralight aircraft, except that the sky in the NYC area is pretty busy at any given time, and you would have to be a complete idiot to fly in a formation (or 2!) at night without navigation or anti collision lights. I never gave it any real thought it could be anything other than a man-made event designed to perpetrate a hoax, or sheer stupidity...maybe. The first photo is of the neighborhood, with overhead wires removed and sky darkened to illustrate the objects and direction. The second photo is a portion of a FAA sectional chart, which seems to indicate a generalized path for aircraft to take using Hylan Blvd as a possible navigation aid (TK-502). The last photo is a screen shot taken from flightradar24, showing the path many aircraft take also using Hylan Blvd as a navigation aid. Both formations of objects seemed to follow the same route. The fuzzy dot is my approximate location.

Bright orange object sighted by my daughter emmitting sparks from the side which evolved into another smaller orange light which moved east. I went out to check and saw a Mars colored light vertically above our house. It had a tiny red light on one side, otherwise it appeared like Mars yet was in the wrong location for Mars. I started scanning the sky and saw numerous orange lights, not geometrically distanced, towards all points of the compass. I rechecked an hour later and they are still there just adjusted for planetary movement. I attempted to judge if the number increased, but it remained the 30-50 I originally observed. When I first saw the brightest one I attempted telepathy without success, however the next time I went out, I caught a telepathic visual of a frightening personage. I shielded and it vanished.

Outside the front of my house, my sister and I were smoking a cigarette and shortly thereafter in the corner of my eye I seen movement above the broken treeline, I asked out loud to my sister as to what that is. She seen it as well as asked the same question as it quietly drifted behind the tree line and then vanished. It was the shape of a Chevron but closed on top. It was semi transparent but in appearance however we could not tell if this was a craft or a being.

My husband and I were driving south on Clio Road when we saw two extremely bright lights hovering over a popular record store to the right of us. We pulled over into the lot and were watching the lights hover motionless and then suddenly dart around a few times. Other people pulled over, too, and we were all stunned watching. No one could figure out what it was. Suddenly it just shot out of sight, so fast and upward. I am hearing all these similar reports now and wondered if the time period was of interest.

I looked up & thought I saw the 1st star of night but then noticed it was moving. It was moving very slowly & then as it was moving across the sky it was passing through trees from our view & then just disappeared. Likely Satellite

Me and a coworker were working Security traffic control when I noticed it floating by about 1/2 mile or less to our West. It was a black sphere with no markings on it. I could not hear it. I ran to my coworker and pointed it out, but he was looking too high in the sky. It was at the Horizon level almost. I only saw it for about 30 seconds and that included trying to get my coworker to spot it. Our buildings blocked my view as it traveled south. I'm kicking myself for not going to our security dept. and getting footage. I know we would have had it, but we only save it for 30 days.

As I went out for a 5:00am cigarette. I was met with what seemed like a normal night sky. Having spent my night watching YouTube videos about quantum physics and computing, etc weird stuff... I thought to myself: "why isn't humanity good enough for ET, why don't they help us become better". Then to my amazement the object (which appeared like an average star) began moving approx 7 o'clock. After it travelled approximately 500,000 miles (approx) it vanished. I assume it travelled at 2,000,000 mph.

I saw the ship while driving in an uber. Headed East on university Dr at 11:45 pm. It was the size of a small commercial aircraft. I couldn't tell what color it was. It had red and white lights. It was shaped like a cross similar to an airplane. I thought it was flying to low for something that big.. it also hovered like drone. It acted like a drone but was way to big and heavy looking it looked to be the size of 2 school buses side by side and as long about 60 feet long.hovered above the 2 story houses about 60 to 100 feet above the roofs. No sound and no wind.
