Clovis, NM
Husband and I were sitting in an empty mall parking lot, eating Taco Bell, and noticed a shadow that bobbed behind and in the clouds to the southeast. A dark cigar shape that bobbed, twisted, and pivoted in one place. No lights. The size was easily bigger than the C-130s on base but didn’t act like a plane. No linear movement, just poking through the clouds. Eventually faded back into the clouds. Did take many pictures and videos.

Whatever it was was moving very fast as I was coming into land, about 4 minutes before landing. It was too low for a plane and moving way too fast for a helicopter. It was reflecting the light.

It was a white object, hovering in a fairly clear sky, not moving at all. We were driving on Fremont St in Marfa, TX and it was off in the distance above the horizon.

I had gone to the beach to watch sunrise on New Year's Day. I had gone out early to get shots of birds, the sky, etc. While shooting, I noticed a streak of light moving in an arc. It was moving quicker than a plane but not racing across the sky. I watched it for a couple of seconds trying to figure out what it was and then decide to get a picture as I couldn't really decide. By the time I got the shot, it had moved a fair distance. Your system will not let me upload the raw unprocessed photo but I can make it available if you would like. The uploaded image is only brightened. The close up is just a zoom in on the object.

Pendleton, OR
At approximately 05:05 AM while looking out my window facing Northwest on an overcast morning. I saw an orange light just above a hill in the distance. From my house to the top of the that hill is approximately 3,858 feet away (there is a valley between my hill and the one mentioned). There were no visible blinking lights. Just a solid orange light. There were no stars out, as it was overcast. I watched it approximately 10 minutes. It seemed to just hover stationary. But then it seemed it might have been very slowly floating more to my right (northern) but hard to say for sure if it was moving. I could not hear any noise coming from it. While watching it, the light disappeared. I continued watching for another 5 minutes. But saw nothing else.

We were watching a huge bright white light on her ring in her car it was a different UFO huge bright white and moved by just suddenly being in a different spot when we saw this fly at us at 50mph in the straights line very steadily. You have to slow it down to really see that it’s not a balloon or Chinese lantern, it was way to big and moving on its own way to fast. There was NO wind what so ever and no explanation as to what that was and how it was moving so fast I could barely catch it as it passed over us it was moving so fast.

North Chesterfield, VA
There were two lights moving at the same speed very fast and it is as if there was almost something in the middle that would have connected them but there was nothing at all. The way they moved in formation made it appear as if it was a big ship just maybe cloaked except the lights. There was also no sound.

Houston, TX
I witnessed two groups of two objects over the course of about three minutes. All I could see of each was an elongated amber light. I could not see any structure beyond the lights. They were steadily illuminated and moving at about the apparent speed and apparent distance of helicopters but there were no anticollision or navigation lights and there was no traffic on ADS-B services at the time. I could not hear any sound. They were traveling on more or less parallel tracks in approximately a NNW direction. There was no twinkling so I presume the objects were at no great distance. I have seen Starlink constellations and this was not that. I have additional photos with angle measurements that I don’t want public since they’re stamped with coordinates.

Since July 4, 2022, I have captured a number of strange sightings on my security camera that simply cannot be explained. On July 4, 2022, I witness a red UFO hovering for extended periods while numerous fireworks went off. Wind aloft was strong and fireworks were often pushed. The January 1 2023 incident is very short, but profound. There are several videos of orbs as well, that are intelligent. There are numerous instances where my trees around the house mysteriously illuminate. I believe I have witness something clear like a cube when these lights appear. I have tons of other videos. I also believe I have witness bright golden energy beings. This was caught on a security camera as well and I have video. I believe there is a portal near where I live.

On December 31st, 2022, between 10:54pm and 10:57pm, I observed a small round object fly almost directly over me. That evening my wife and I stayed home and were watching the New Year celebrations on television. We were not drinking alcohol or anything else. My normal routine in the evening, is to walked my dogs several times outside in the front yard, before going to bed. Each time someone or something exits or enters my home, my security cameras record those events. That night when I left the house with the dogs, the garage camera recorded time was 10:54pm and showed I returned back to the garage at 10:57pm. The dogs were not sensitive to the fireworks going off in the neighborhood that evening, and the four were just running around close to me, doing their business. I stood in the middle of my street looking into the sky. The weather was very nice, the sky was very clear and I was surprised to see a lot of air traffic. The flight path to Austin's airport is due west from my house and in the evenings it's common to see air traffic coming and going from all directions. I was standing near the end of my driveway, in the middle of the street facing south, when I saw a very distinct red, star shaped light. It appeared to be traveling north in my direction, still miles away and was at about a 45 degree angle from my perspective. I thought the light was odd for aircraft lights but dismissed it and began walking north, approximately one hundred feet on Speed Horse. I was almost to the T intersection of Speed Horse and Secretariat when I turned and looked back south. I did not see the red light and it just seemed to have disappeared. Still standing in the road, I turned due west and saw, what appeared to an aircraft, a mile or so away. Its was at around a 45 plus degree angle from my perspective and appeared to be flying north. It was at this moment while looking up at the plane, that I caught movement to my right, almost directly above me. I immediately turning to my right and began tracking a small dark orange colored object as it flew past and above me. It continued in a northeast direction not more than fifty feet above the ground. Within a few seconds, it disappeared directly over my neighbors home and into the night sky. Although the sky was clear, there are no street lights in my neighborhood, and my clearest view of its shape and size happened in that first second as it flew over. It appeared to be moving very fast but not so fast that I couldn't track it. My first thought when I saw it, was that it looked like a flying basket ball. It's flight path was very straight, it did not deviate, slow down, change course, hover or make any noise. It did not have any lights on it at all. Using Google earth I was able to measure the approximate distance, from my point of perception to where it disappeared over my neighbors home, at around two hundred feet. I estimated I tracked it for approximately 2 to 2.5 seconds and calculated its speed between 60 and 70 mph. Right after it disappeared I immediately tried to rationalize what I had seen. Was it a bird or a drone? It didn't look like or move like a bird, nor did I see wings and it was too big. I have seen many drones and most were moving very slowly, not in a straight line, or they were hovering, made noise and they made obvious changes in direction. Immediately after seeing the object I went inside and told my wife. She was skeptical and laughed but then realized I was serious. Within days I told other family members about what I seen, they just laughed and asked If I took a picture. This incident has really bothered me and I've been debating with myself to report it. I had heard about your site and I'm was just hoping someone else might have seen something similar. I am a retired Police officer with over 25 years with the city of Austin Texas and consider myself of sound mind and body. Thanks for your time.

Porter, TX
Myself and another witness were outdoors celebrating the new year when we observed a single bright orange ball of light travel across the night sky. It stayed on a northerly track, did not change altitude, and took about 20 seconds to cross the horizon until it was out of view. Fireworks were being set off at the time, but this did not appear to be any kind of firework, chinese lantern, or paper on fire. It was too bright, fast, and tracked steadily. The sky was slightly foggy, but the ball of light was very visible. There was no sound. Interestingly, this is my second report of this nature. The last one was in New Caney, TX on the night of July 4, 2012. There were also fireworks being set off that night, but without the fog I could clearly see it was a ball of what looked like fire. This was a nearly identical sighting in duration and way it behaved. Also, upon talking to one of my neighbors since then, he also witnessed the one in 2012, although I did not know at the time of my report, so I did not include this information.

I noticed two red lights in the sky. They were holding still. If a line was drawn between the lights connecting them, it would be at about a 30 degree angle to the horizon. They stayed in this position for about 30 seconds. I called my kids to see it. We watched the lights remain at this 30 degree angle until they started to drift away from each other. Each light move at the same pace as the other light. They each moved symmetrically away from each other, but remained in that 30 degree angle. Then the lights rotated around each other symmetrically. One light went lower as the other light went higher. Each light's movement and speed mirrored the others. This rotatation was about 180 degrees and only took the lights 3-5 seconds to complete. The lights then moved upwards and west into a cloud bank. I did not see the lights again. No sound was heard.

My son and I were looking to see if anyone was popping fireworks. We live outside of the city and the country and the view we have to our south is nothing but ocean. However, on the northeast side of the sky we can see hobby airports airplanes every night. All the time. We're pretty used to saying airplanes. However, that night when we were looking my son pointed out two solid balls that were oranges yellow. They were coming down and the direct northern sky side by side and then stopped rapidly. They began to fly around each other and then one absorbed the other and started fading in and out. It finally disappeared so we went inside for a little while. About 15 minutes later one of them was back. The other one split from it and then both of them went out.

I was just outside on a clear night talking on the phone and saw out of the corner of my eye what I initially believed to be a shooting star. Once I focused on it I was in disbelief. It was a definite triangular shaped craft flying slowly and silently from the north to the south with very dim amber lights that I could visibly see on three corners. It was too large to be a drone (probably from my vantage point 40’ wide) and made absolutely no sound.

It was early evening just before 8pm this New Year’s Eve when my cousin shouted excitedly about seeing something glowing orange and moving just above the trees. We quickly went outside and I immediately saw them. 4 orange pulsating orb like objects moving silently above the trees. I recorded a video and have some photos. It was cloudy out as we could not see stars so these objects had to be flying very low. They were moving east to west. As i was trying to record the sighting my brother also comes out with a spot light and tries to shine towards them. They then started moving away more quickly and gone within seconds.

We saw the fire like glowing object coming toward our house, we walked out and looked at it. It came toward us and hovered for about three minutes, solid glowing lights looked like ball of fire. Then it blasted into the distant faster than anything I have ever seen.

The oval disk with lights around it suddenly came into our view and hovered in the distant Northern sky above the canal tree line behind our house (50 miles away or more?), and it had orange or red lights around the circumference. Some kind of government space training above Cape Canaveral or St. Patrick’s Air Force base?
