West haven, CT

Orange ball shaped objects going at a slow speed. First 2 with one disappearing. A few minutes later 6 appeared suddenly and traveled slowly dimming and diminishing a few at a time.

I was driving southbound on the 71 freeway in Chino Hills California. I noticed a bright light in front of my truck up in the sky. And then noticed three more lights so I snap a photo. At that point they were two lights, then a third light appeared at this time I kept shooting photos until the lights disappeared. This all happened with in minutes. The Cleveland national forest was in the background in the light seem to be above the foothills in Chino Hills. Please enlarge photos to see objects.

Jensen Beach, FL

I used my phone to capture this when I went to look at the full moon close to midnight. I didn’t see it until I took a photo of the moon and saw it on the screen. There was only one object and it was moving erratically. Almost as though the mood was repelling it. It moved around and changed shapes and colors from white to green.

Riverview, FL

While walking my dog, I noticed an unusually large glowing orange object. At first, I thought it was a plain, as sometimes they appear large as they are flying across. However, this object did not move and was orange opposed to a white light. I watched it for a good 45 minutes on and off with breaks about 30 seconds just to grab a glass of water. By the size, you could tell it was not circular, yet almost appeared like a vase. It’s slowly shift is left and right and as soon as I saw it start to slowly drop it completely completely disappeared I do have a video was odd about the video is when taking it with my iPhone, it appears to have multiple colors yet I think because of the brightness and my iPhone image it doesn’t show that orange truly truly amazing experience

Greeneville, TN

A friend and I were driving east/Northeast on Andrew Johnson Highway when we saw two lightsts in the sky at a red light near businesses in the eastern part of town- coming into Greeneville from the Afton area, that turned into three lights. The lights were not flashing. They did seem to move. There was no noise. There were other cars around at the time. It was approximately 9 PM on January 6, 2023. We were able to see the craft for about another minute. It seem to be moving east in the sky slowly. After the object had moved on slowly, we observed what was maybe a helicopter with red and green lights, heading toward the direction of the triangular craft but not following the craft closely.

Chandler, AZ

My friend and I saw what looked like a bright white star moving unnaturally quickly across a clear night sky at ~8:15 pm in Chandler AZ. The object was first seen directly above us, then traveled over the horizon in less than 10 seconds. The object did not dim or burn out like a meteor but was persistently a bright white light. The object left no trail and made no sound. The object was moving too quickly to be a man-made satellite.

Garland, TX

Not the 1st time. He travels north, while he is east of me. Once he gets behind my neighbors chimney, I get up and look around it, but it's gone every time. I don't know what the flight path is after that. On the 6th of January I was outside in the backyard smoking a cigarette and he showed up again. This time it didn't seem like he had control. Someone was entering in random coordinates. The first image of (what looks like) the air turning green and dissipating around it is what it looks like moving. The second image is when it's not moving afterward while the rest of his friends showed up. I don't know how many times I've seen him, but I saw him again sometime after 6 am on the 19th of October which is about when I first started noticing him last year for the first time. This time he was headed north again, but this time he slowly vanished into the black morning sky. [NUFORC annotation: Camera Anomaly - Certain]

Prince Frederick, MD

Around 5:50 pm on 1/6/23, I looked up to the sky. There was cloud cover, but a circular white light appeared and was visible behind the clouds. Because of that I would estimate it was the same distance from Earth that an airplane would be. It moved quickly in an erratic zigzag pattern for less than 5 seconds and then disappeared. There was no beam between it and Earth like I would have expected if it had been a spotlight of some kind. After the initial sighting, it reappeared less than 30 seconds later in the same location, and moved in the same pattern, again for less than 5 seconds, and then disappeared. There was an airplane that went by after the second appearance, but it seemed lower in the sky than the ball of light.

Spokane Valley, WA

I was entering i90 off of the Evergreen exit heading west and looked up in the sky and saw a long white trailheahind a freefalling object. There was no fire ball that seemed to be leading the tail but the tail was sparse through its middle as if the object was letting smoke off from its front and sides as if splitting the tail down the middle to join at the end of the tail again. It was falling at a very sharp fast moving diagonal angle think of 11 o clock and 5 o clock on a clock with hands, Low and behold, out of absolutly no where, a second object appeared to be falling behind it at a higher elevation, same angle, same description as the first tail. Both were very slim shaped comet tails. The direction the were moving was left to right, they seemed to be heading in a NW direction, for they were moving farther and farther away from me as I got further west on the freeway. Eventually they both fell below the horizon line and became unvisible due to low laying cloud coverage. In 6 minutes both objects fell from half way up in the sky to below the horizon line. Both moved at the same speed, falling at the same and same angle. I know it was 6 minutes because as soon as I saw them I called crime check worried that it was space junk comming back after plumetting from space and could hurt someone, that call was 6 minutes, durating from 4:12pm to 4:18 pm. It was completly day out side and the color of the trails behind the objects was pure white, the objects causing the tails must have been smal in size, as I could not make a shape to either one. Wondering if there is anyone else who may have been driving East or West on i90 and saw it also? I imagine if you were west of the tails they would move right to left. Im checking the object landed box because the objects had to have landed somewhere, I believe somwhere North West of Spokane, I did not actually see a landing. There was a helicopter in the sky at the time, not chasing the objects or even anywhere near them, it was merely flying a straight line below the horizon heading in the direction of felts field in Spokane Valley, the objects were in the Westward sky well beyond the cities of Spokane and Spokane Valley possibly closer to Cheney than to Spokane. I spoke to a man who returned my missed call who suggested I come to the site to leave a report there after. I hope that there may be others who saw it from a closer northwest position, I am really perplexed and curious about what the object could have been. Thank you

Savannah, GA

Was moving slowly through the sky. Large and appeared to be at an altitude of approximately 5k-8k. Was saucer shaped, rounded on top. The lower half looked silver while the upper dome was more orange/gold, possibly reflecting the sun differently than the bottom, or possibly a different material. No discernible front or rear. No sound.

Great Smokies National Park, NC

Driving from Tennessee toward Cherokee, on a cloudless, sunny afternoon through Great Smokies National Park. I caught a flash of reflective light and looked out my driverside window toward the ridgeline. I was shocked to see a massive, silver metal clad object that appeared to be tracking with me in the same direction. It disappeared behind the mountain, and then reappeared as the ridgeline dipped and then disappeared again behind the next peak. I pulled over on the opposite side of the road, very shaken. My first thought was a jumbo jet was crashing, but then it didn't make sense in my mind. It should have made a noise, but nothing. It should have reappeared on the other side of the peak, but nothing. I did not see the leading edge or the trailing edge, no wings, windows or markings. It wasn't smooth but I can't say what the texture was I observed, only an impression of louvered panels maybe? The sight only lasted a few seconds. Those mountains are at an elevation of about 4500 feet. It was very low, the object was massive, as long as a foot ball field at least. I am an air force veteran, and I have never seen anything fly like this.

It ended up disappearing into the clouds, was only able to catch it at the last moment. There was only one and it flew straight up into the clouds. Couldn’t really see much detail because of the sunlight.

Chino Valley, AZ

The light was seen on two different mornings about the same time. 30 degrees above north west horizon. Very large light. Definitely not an aircraft. Light did not change position. Remained stationary for over 15 minutes. On the second sighting the light was in the same place. Suddenly turned green for 30 seconds and became red again. I am a commercial pilot/flight instructor and an engineer. This was NOT an airplane or helicopter. There are no towers in the hills in that location.

Seemingly an airplane with flashing red and white lights, but aircraft was not moving.

approx 1000 nm north of Kauai Hawaii, CO

I’m a airline B787 pilot. We were flying at 38,000 ft at approx 1015Z over the Pacific about 1000 miles north of Hawaii. The other pilot and I witnessed on several separate instances, 3 or 4 distant and very high altitude lights that looked like stars in the night sky. They would appear out of the darkness in the same spot of the sky, become increasingly bright, and would circle around each other. 2 of them appeared dimmer and smaller than the third, which appeared much brighter. They would accelerate and change directions rapidly at seemingly incredible speeds, then they would fly apart, the brighter one would stop momentarily, and the they would disappear until doing the same thing again a few minutes later. We saw this happen several times. I captured the last “event” on my Ipad video. Approximately 15 minutes after all of this occurred, I noticed what I thought was Venus (which I thought to myself I didn’t see it before as it was blocked by my cockpit window post). As I looked at what I thought was Venus, it appeared to be moving very slowly. Over a matter of seconds it then moved away from us to the south and ultimately dimmed as it moved away and disappeared towards the horizon. Initially when I first saw it, it appeared to be just a stationary planet until it began its movement. This was not the typical motion of a orbital satellite. I’ve subsequently expanded numerous frames of my video, and with a magnifying glass could clearly see a greenish luminescent glow from the trailing edge of the triangular shape of the brightest object. In my video the brightest object made a sudden acceleration straight downward (or away from us), it stopped, then disappeared.

I always see this same orb or ufo above my home always between 9.pm and 6 am .. it tends to hover changing shapes all the time and jumping from up to side to down to side just being sparatic and never knowing what it could do or change into. It's amazing really .. nothing we have on this planet is capable of these things and I have hundreds of other videos..

Port Charlotte, FL

I just turned onto Hayworth St in Port Charlotte, Fl on 1/5/2023 at 9pm when my granddaughter and I witness a circular object with bright lights in the sky. The object had steady bright lights with one on each side hovering over the area not moving for about 3 mins. Just when I thought to get my phone out to record, it disappeared so fast.

Crofton/ Gambrills, MD

I am a retire firefighter. I was sitting in my vehicle at a parking lot looking up at the sky, as I do on nights when it is clear, and I noticed an object in the sky that seemed to be changing colors. With the naked eye, the object was about a quarter inch in diameter. It wasn’t the typical lights of an aircraft. It was stationary, so I got my small camera and tried to zoom in on the object. It appeared, through the viewfinder, to be a sphere, but it was shaggy looking on the edges and it seemed to have divots in it. While snapping pictures, I saw blue, and then blue and orange, and after that, purple (see photos). The object wasn’t high enough in the sky to be a star but too high to be an attachment to a tower. There were airplanes coming toward me to eventually land in a Baltimore airport, but this was much higher than they were. I am curious to find out if this is manmade or otherwise. *We are sending you the original photos. Please enlarge for details. When we enlarged them, we were able to see details, color, shape, and edging.

Wall Township, NJ

I was walking my dog after dinner. While he was sniffing around I noticed four lights slowly coming in from the ENE towards the WSW. They were directly above me, they were very slightly north of me. They moved slowly and completely silently. As the lights were even with my position, still viewing slightly north, they light turned to the WNW direction. The lights turned in perfect unison and completely silently. As far as shape, the lights were bright so shape was difficult to discern. They were lit continuously with no blinking. They appeared to be either upright rectangles, brighter on the ends or they may have been hourglass shaped. Because it was dark I couldn't tell if it was a single object with four lights or four separate objects. The experience was a little creepy. that might have been the movement in complete unison and in total silence.

Miami, MA

Could not be stars. Not planes landing as I am facing East and planes were landing from the west. Not planes leaving as the landing lights would be on the front. Not planes in the landing pattern as they are too close together and flying over the path of departing planes. I am trying to see how to send the picture.

Nazareth, PA

My dog had woken me up so I got up to go to the bathroom and went back to bed. I was looking out my window and saw a blur of light so I reached and put my glasses on and saw what I thought was an airplane at first but it was too low. Then I saw it moving back and forth side to side really fast. I went to take a video but took a Live Photo on accident so after that I started taking a video and got it on camera going back and forth. I called my mom in to come and see it and about 7 seconds after she got to the window too it kind of disappeared into the trees if the woods on the other side of 33. It may have landed but it didn’t really look like it did it looked more as if the trees covered it.
