Poinciana, FL
Hovered low abt 4-6 stories high, helicopter sound with loud engine, no blades seen, all red lights and circled around same location and pattern. Much much larger than a drone. My area doesn't have towers so, objects can fly very low here. I tried to record it, but could not. I don't what the heck that thing was. Very concerning.

Memphis, TN
The two fireball-like objects were flying from the southwest direction of my house. Both of them were in somewhat close proximity to each other. After 15 seconds, the fireball on the left faded away and disappeared, the one on the right did the same thing 5 seconds later. The whole encounter lasted for around 20 seconds, I observed all of this from inside my house.

Maize, KS
Open the living room curtains to see if the winter weather had started, we were expected to have ice and wet drizzly stuff. Notice what I thought was a plane west of my house. As it started to come closer I realized it was a ball of fire almost in the shape of I kid you not a stingray. As it got to the actual city of maize it's slowed down and descended to about 30 to 50 ft above tree level. And when I'm looking up it is just fiery substance. No actual lights that I could tell and no other material that I could tell. It has no sound.I go to get my camera and as soon as I snap the photo it's gone past my house. I run inside to tell my husband who is asleep and at that point I'm shaky and almost in tears. I calm down for a couple seconds decide to go look out my back window which is facing East and there it is. And coming towards it is an actual airplane. So I run and get my husband and tell him to come see within the 30 to 45 seconds it took us to get there it was gone. And the plane was gone. My eyes after seeing this thing hurt for the rest of the evening into the next night. I'm still trying to understand the materials of it's being and why slow down above my house until I try to get a picture.

Dover, DE
I was driving northbound on route 1, north of Dover Delaware around 9:00 pm. The particular area is pretty dark. It was very cold at the time. The sky appeared mostly clear. I saw 3 lights in the sky in a triangular formation. The formation was moving slowly across the highway from left to right. Definitely slower than airplanes move in the area. The formation was from my perspective: the light farthest away was leading, the second nearest light was behind the leading light, to the left of it closest to me, the 3rd light was appeared not quite as far away as the leading light and was at the rear (left)of the formation in the direction they were going. The time I saw the formation was probably less than 10 seconds so I don’t believe it could have been extremely high. My guess of the distance from light to light is hundreds of feet given its width in comparison to the highway. The lights were an off white similar to an incandescent bulb hooked to a low battery. All 3 lights appeared spherical. All 3 lights were flickering very fast. Dozens of flickers a second. All 3 lights looked kind of like they were out of sharp focus and made them appear larger. Meaning the center of the light was brighter and the outer edges were dimmer. Additionally the lights were not bright such as one would see on an airplane. You can see many airplanes in that area because Dover AFB is south of Dover. I lost sight of the lights as I drove under them.

Franklin, TN
Driving south into Franklin on Franklin Rd, look to my left and see what looked to be a silver, cigar shaped aircraft that was extremely shiny and appeared to have 2 small wings with no tailwing. It must have been as large as a passenger aircraft. Seen directly over the Harpeth river and it must have been at least 25-30,000 feet up. It was briefly moving at about 100-200mph but then stopped, and began hovering in the sky. It left no trail. That is when I stopped my car on the side of the road to get a better view of it, rolled down my window and as I pulled out my phone to take a video, the craft slowly faded out of existence. This was a 5 second process where i could literally see the craft fade into the sky like it was slowly putting on an invisibility cloak. During this process, the craft was hovering and was not turning in any direction.

There there was only one object it carefully came into sight as it spun even faster and faster and then when it finally went over my house when I finally saw it there was an alien like thing and it was in a window for split second I was able to see it it went back towards East though so it's gone now but now I feel like I'm not safe at my house anymore and I'm really terrified now I never used to think aliens for real but now I don't know what to believe in

Ventnor city, NJ
Hello, I lived in Ventnor NJ up till 2 nights ago. For the past 5 months something has been going on in the area of Ventnor, Margate, and AC NJ. As crazy as this sounds I believe my son and I had been abducted by aliens. My son's memory was wiped. Thursday night 12/1/22 He came into my room saying he couldn't breathe he looked scared and he's never looked like that. Friday 12/2/22 he was spacey and looked off. Kept pulling on his ear bc that how they tell you to listen to them I couldn't understand what was going on with him he was missing things he should know that whole week I just felt something way off. Then I took my son to the hospital on 12/14/22 because he came home talking about space missions, Atlantis lost city, voices in his head told him to break my mom's crystal glass, I tell my son I love him just about every half hr and we just have a strong bond. He asked me during that "off week" why I say I love him. He's 8 yrs old and never asked me that. He knows why I love him so much and never questioned my love for him. My son started hitting him self saying they had control over his body. In the hospital I sang him a song that he made up for me as a toddler and the Dr. saw him starting to bang his head and the metal bar of the bed. I had the same thing they wanted me to move out of the area because we figured it out that it's just not us. I did research and then looked at my pictures and it explains all of this. So I took my son and I to a shelter and they still have not left him. My son told me that his school friends are no longer the same. His best friend didn't even know his mother's name. I can understand kids changing, but this was in one day! My son told me he was abducted and I believe I was as well. We have weird dreams and we both remember the night we were taking. I woke up in a puddle of water. I couldn't understand why. My mom don't understand any of this and she became mean and she's normally not like that. She kicked us out after telling us she would never do that , told me to go live with my father who she knows i have not spoken to 5 months. and before that 3 years. I have pictures of the aliens and can show proof. I did the right thing and took my son to the hospital. I thought it was weird that they chucked it up to a TV episode of gravity falls. They can chalk it up to a TV show all they want but I've never seen it and I see those kids and how different they are The Aliens told my son that they will kill him if he and I talk. They keep showing him a image of a gun in his head. They told me they are doing an experiment in Ventnor, Margate, and AC. I have friends who live AC NJ people are jumping off buildings at a alarming rate! Hotels and homes. I understand holiday season but it's truly not that. She also told me that she's been stock piling bc yall told her WWIII is coming. I believe it ,but with the aliens. My son came home and told me that his friends on the bus are VERY different as well and people in school are forgetting things. My son didn't know who my sister was. She died 2 years ago I keep a collage of her, I and him in my room. He told me he had no idea who she was! He sees the pictures and had no clue where they were taking. I Think you are the only people who can try to say that area. It's the cops, Doctors, nurses, normal people everyone is VERY different. These things are not nice. They keep dangling carrots for you to trust them and to make people believe they will help you but they don't. They make your life a living hell. I'm done , not talking about it. It's been far to long and these 3 towns need help. I have many pictures to show. I used to go take pictures of the sunsets and took some great pictures then I started noticing Aliens in the pictures. Then all this weird stuff happening I couldn't explain it. I wasn't even my self I started feeling better when we left the area but my son is still being threatened. They told him in one year all his friends and him would be kidnapped and taken to pluto . They told him that on 12/13/22. My child is my whole life and with everything going on I wasn't taking any chances. We left and went to homeless shelter. I'm a great mother I took extreme measures life saving ones bc he's scared and frankly so am I. My mother doesn't believe in them. but we do and she changed as well. I took my son to the hospital and we came home my son went to school and she's talking about getting him seen again. I think he had enough of a hospital and frankly what are they going to do they discharged him. AtlanticCare Regional Medical center PIP is what we were in. They saw the type of mother I am I held my son's all night long made sure he had anything he needs and probably too much love! That's the type of person I am. My own mother decided to call DYFUS and I did everything right took him to the hospital showed all paperwork and they told me I was free to leave , I wanted to go to Philly that night but couldn't find a ride. Sunday 12/18/22 we left to a shelter. They told us if we left they would leave us alone bc we knew the truth that they are in people's heads making them do bad things. Which is why people are killing themselves. They also have control over bodies. My son hitting himself wasn't a one time thing. I don't feel my son needs to be locked in a padded room. I feel that you guys are the ones to be able to help. This not just us. It's 3 towns! We made 2 videos on 2 different phones just in case something happens to us. I'm a fighter and I'm fighting the invisible alone. Both of us can see dust sparkles and different things hard to explain. I've gotten this far and now I'm contacting the best of the best, I hope.

After finishing wrapping presents and getting Christmas ready for our daughters. I stepped outside into my backyard. It was 2am, Christmas morning. I noticed some lights glowing in the sky where typically we don't have any flying aircraft or landing patterns have airplanes. We do live close to a big international airport, but the planes are never flying this close, stationary or in this area of the sky. I have all the landing and take off patterns around our house as I see them often during the day and night. They looked to me pretty close (0.5 miles) away, which was really close. Once I confirmed that this couldn't be a airplane, I called my wife to come out and take a look. They cylindrical towers of light were stationary and not moving up or down, but glowing. Once she also confirmed that this was unusual, I took video of the occurrence and two photos. I am a skeptic, but this was incredibly convincing and undeniably strange and unique. Either Santa Claus is real or Aliens or maybe Santa is an alein. Either way, I would love to know if others reported this occurrence in the NorthEast Houston area of Kingwood, Humble and Atascocita.

Chico, CA
I observed two different orange balls at low altitude, below 5000 ft with the naked eye and a pair of binoculars at approximately 10:30 p.m. Pacific time December 24th, 2022 from an apartment in west Chico California. The two orange balls were in an area about 10 to 20 miles east of the city of Chico. I was unable to distinguish if the balls were a fire like substance or a artificial light. Both of the orange balls appeared at different intervals approximately 3 to 4 minutes apart from one another. I immediately checked the flight tracker after witnessing the aerial phenomenon and was able to locate only one flight in the area at the time and observed the airplane with a pair of binoculars north west of where I viewed the two orange ball phenomenons. The two orange balls went dark after a few minutes in the sky randomly. The two orange balls did not appear to be meteors as they were traveling far too slow to be a meteor. The flight data from the flight tracker website showed the airline at approximately 10,000 ft which is consistent with what I personally viewed after viewing the phenomenon. The pilot flying the airline may have witnessed the phenomenon as well. The flight was headed southbound from Seatac airport to the Sacramento airport. I am unsure if the phenomenon was extra terrestrial in nature. This phenomenon was something that I have never witnessed before in my life and I felt compelled to report my findings to you. Please follow up with me if you have any questions.

1 of 2 siting details below This was 8:40 ish pm on Christmas Eve 2022. I’m always looking up to the sky so I went outside to look at stars and noticed an orb / sphere thing in sky over the neighbors house. Way to low to be stars. I took coupe of pictures than recorded 2 videos. The object looked like it was a spinning top. It was clearly spinning with my naked eye. When I looked at the videos and zoomed in on the object. I was completely speechless and shocked. Not only was it definitely spinning but it look like it kind of was changing shapes and just rotating but there was no sides top bottom or anything that I could make out it was just like plasma that was colored and translucent. Has several several different colors just spinning and rotating. so when I looked at it without a camera or anything I can clearly see it spinning and it was blue and white lights that I could see, then when you zoomed in you can definitely see what I mean it just turns to a whole bunch of colors and it’s just moving in and out of the object . 2 of 2 sighting details This was Christmas day approximately at 6:37 PM We were on our way home from Daughters house on highway 121 around Plano Texas and I saw something a bit elevated from my direct sight coming towards us. The object passed from the left side of the highway to the right It was unbelievable. I noticed it had blue and white lights just like the object I saw the night before on Christmas Eve. This object definitely was bigger than 2 helicopters. The lights went in a circle motion on each side and reminded me of ginormous wagon wheels. With the object having blue lights outlining one side of the craft & white lights outlining the other I’m pretty sure to say the lights outlined the entire object. I can’t even describe how big this object was. Pardon me if I already said so but I did get a picture when we were on the highway and the object was to the right of me where there’s buildings grocery stores parking garages etc. I I don’t know for sure but I’m guessing it’s a no fly zone for any objects to do what this object was doing. I was pretty much in shock. Can I please ask what do you think it is? I tried to look online and research to my best ability to find out if anyone else reported this on Christmas Day. I don’t see how anybody could’ve missed it. Also of course can you please tell me what you think about my Christmas Eve reported event? Is there a good explanation for this ? To me looked spinning plasma . I’d be happy to answer any other questions, hope you can help me figure this out. I have Hesitated to report these events. I don’t know why because I’ve been wanting to see something in the sky that was a real UFO. [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Possible]

I was leaving my family Christmas Eve gathering and as I turned to drive away, a large orange orb rose up from the horizon line above a house across the street. It was probably much further than it looked. It did not blink nor were there any landing lights or any other light other than orange except it glowed with a ferocity almost like a fire. It moved at a quick pace but not super fast. It came towards me over the top of the house at helicopter height, completely silently, then continued to arc upward and away. I lost sight of it behind a tree line in my parent’s neighborhood. I simply turned and drove away. I don’t know why I didn’t take any photos or video. My phone was right near my hand and I easily could have. I just didn’t even think of it until it was gone. Other things of note: 1) I was completely sober 2) I am currently menstruating (John Keel has noted a correlation between menstruating women and sightings) 3) no one else on the block seemed to even notice anything even when I slowed down and lowered my window to stare at it for a minute. There were other people and cars. 4) there were stars and other aircraft in the sky at the time.

As I turned south off of Main street on to Neshoba street I noticed about 7 lights in the sky. It was 7:26 and dark outside. There were what I believe to be 1 or 2 planets visible in the sky but one may have been a bright star. As I got closer to my house I noticed there were less of them. I pulled in to my driveway which was 2 blocks from where I first saw them and got out. By then there were only 2 left. I did not see them move in any direction. I also did not see where they went. Seemed like every time I looked back up from looking down at my phone there were less. There was no sound I could hear. They were not blinking or flickering. From my vantage point they were at and above the tree line but not overhead. Some were not clearly visible due to trees near me so there may have been more I could not see. I checked flightradar24 app and saw no air traffic above me although I did see a plane in the distance towards the southwest. I was the only witness. 34°14'03.2"N 96°40'45.1"W This is about where I took the picture.

While satellite watching on 12/24/22 @ approx 6:25 pm, started tracking a satellite in the E/s/e sky to the lower right of the Pleiades star cluster, about the 10:00 position. Then noticed it was possibly 3 satellites moving in unison or one large object alone, silent regardless.The viewing lasted around 30 seconds as it traveled in the same direction indicated. As an avid planet and stargazer and tracking satellites as a norm, The spacing between the lights seemed too far apart to be any type of known mapping satellites, as these usually run in tandem one after the other on a straight trajectory. I also don’t believe it was any Starlink satellites for the same reasons.

I was looking at the sky and within 15 seconds of me looking up I saw 7 balls in of lights (all in single file) moving in a snake like way. These balls of light were very close to the roof of Fairfield inn and suites moving southeast. It went over the hotel and I continued to see it moving southeast into the distance and disappear. I have never seen anything like this before. This incident happened at 3:30 a.m. on Christmas Day.

The lights were first noticed at around midnight by my brother (aged 19). According to witnesses, the lights were stationary, hovering in the southeast, towards the airport. The lights were in a somewhat pillar-like shape and gave off a slight reddish hue and faded in and out, with a maximum of five observed in total. The lowest number of lights observed at any given time were two, according to witnesses. The lights were not observed to have left the scene directly by witnesses, but the presence of the lights were reported to have been completely gone by 3:00 AM. During this time, my brother called other family members to witness the lights. The other witnesses are my father (aged 53), my mother (aged 51), and my sister (aged 16). Three pictures of the lights were taken, one by my brother and two by my father. Although not directly related to the lights, it is worth noting that between the hours of 1:00 AM and 1:30 AM, all power in the house (and presumably the entire neighborhood) went out twice during this timeframe. Another thing of note is that despite the proximity to an airport, all witnesses mentioned have lived in this region for around two decades and have frequently spotted all types of normal aircraft during this time, making the misidentification of aircraft unlikely and improbable.

See video I filmed below. Multiple flashing, strobing lights all over the sky in the distance (a mile away?). Maybe drones or Helis? I don't think so but so odd looking. Lasted about 45 minutes.

Saw a bright large light that I thought was a star. It was too close and to bright to be a star. Light then blinked at me then moved upward slowly and dropped 3 smaller red lights out of it. The smaller red lights the moved in circles and patterns around the brighter object. They then blended back together and disappeared.

I was driving North on the 605 freeway Dec. 23, 2022 @12:35 pm (with my spouse and my son) heading to L.A., and as the traffic slowed down to a crawl and momentary stop, I suddenly noticed up in the sky ahead a fleet of chevron shaped flying objects moving in unison in a semi circular to and fro pattern. They all were a shiny metallic color with a white top or bottom, it was difficult to discern as they were moving and when they did their turns they would completely disappear from the naked eye and then immediately reappear and continue to do their maneuver in unison. They did this for approximately 3 minutes, maybe a bit longer, then they just vanished. And by vanished, I mean they disappeared. They didn't fly anywhere else or towards another direction, they just completely instantly vanished.
