From where I was they seems to be about an inch wide and 3 inches long, going from left to right side by side each other and maybe 3 inches long. Once I decided it wasn’t the moon or anything I could notice on my star app I grabbed my dad and his girlfriend to see. When we can outside there we’re only 2 I took a video and went inside. When I came back out 30 mins later they were gone.

At approx 2am my wife let dogs out and saw a bright white light suddenly appear in the woods where there was absolutely no light source or possibly or any reflection nor was there any light to reflect. As soon as the light faded she witnessed two glowing red lights moving as if they were eyes looking around, one of them appeared to blink for time to time. It continued to move/ walk along and behind the fence line down a cut/ ravine where a dry creek bed runs. My wife woke me up to see it because she was scared when I got out back the red eyes/ glowing red had stopped and we waited for about 10 minutes to see where they went. We went back inside and looked out kitchen window then saw the bright white light flash again and didn't see anything else after. We are both veterans of 101st and are familiar with being in woods at night, there was absolutely no light source, no chance of reflection nor was there anyone back there our dogs/ GSD would have ran/ barked if so or if it was wildlife. We know the difference between red reflecting eyes from a predator, these were glowing and big difference. I witnessed the bright white flash Feb 15th 2022 and got it briefly on video during a separate sighting.

My friend and I were in my backyard. She went out to her car and yelled that there was something in the sky. I looked up and there was what looked like a bright orange ball in the sky. She yelled " there is another one" then another and another. Approx 45 seconds later I looked up and two more were coming. It appeared they were following each other. All going in a straight line. It was getting cloudy and they disappeared in the clouds. They appeared to be coming from the Southwest side of town going East.

witnesses on boat- two girls on a fishing trip with other men, girls dad and girls friend, said group of people frequents the keys for vacation let it be mentioned that in total there would be 7 men and two girls. Men saw the object but were a little more skeptical however admitted it was weird weird, beautiful sunset, the object kept getting lost in the sunset almost? Im sorry I wish I could be more detailed but I think the videos and photos will do the heavy lifting. EDITED- this is my second report, I just realized I completely did not check off the authorization box on my last report. I will resubmit it with authorization if you think that is necessary [NUFORC annotation: Contrail - Probable]

I was driving to work (home Depot) when I pulled into the parking lot and I saw this light that was not a airplane. It was really bright. I was trying to get my phone to take a picture and it was gone.

Greeneville, TN
We were driving home. Saw a bright green amorphous fireball coming down in front of us. It lasted only seconds and in my observation would have crashed Since it was already low to the ground. Would have crashed between the base of the mountain and some acreage behind the property. I’m not a good judge of distance but this was close. The brightness of the green was amazing. I turned to the other person in the car and asked did you see that. I think I’m still in shock.

I saw 4-5 orange balls of light flying from east to west, below cloud cover. Faster than airplanes and noiseless. For some scale, I absolutely would have been able to make out the general shape and multiple lights of an airplane if one was flying that low. Instead, these were large-ish orange balls of light, spaced out from each other, in single file. I saw one from my bedroom window and was trying to understand what I had seen, when I saw another following it. I ran to that window (south facing) and saw another following that one. I then ran to my back door window (facing west) and could see two of the lights heading west. The farthest one simply faded, I tried to get my phone camera going for the next one, when I looked back up it was gone. The last one came, still in the same line as the preceding ones. I again tried to get my camera and it disappeared as well, not as far west as the others had been when they disappeared. My personal background is that I work in accounting, I’m in my forties and I have never before seen anything that I would describe as a UFO. Possibly Starlink

This was seen in the sky, 7:28pm, Wednesday evening,12/21/22, at the corner of Whitehall Road and Rose Court in Albany, NY. I did not take the photos or videos and unfortunately I did not see it.This was submitted to me on a neighborhood community watch Facebook page by the actual witness and her family and friend, who were all actual witnesses. Reference points to the actual size and altitude of the craft (unknown) are the house, street distance, car turning and power lines in the photos. Craft was silent. 2 other lights around the craft, did seem to merge with the triangle eventually, then all disappeared into the sky.

My partner and I were driving eastbound on Paseo Del Norte. We saw a bright light appear over the Sandia’s. We were perplexed because it was bigger then a plane light with nothing blinking. It wasn’t moving very fast. Yet appeared as though a bright star or flashlight. It hovered there with very minimal movement for about 30 seconds then slowly faded and disappeared. The sky was clear with blue skies right before sunset was about to start. Other airplanes were in the sky but none anywhere near that. No other lights were in the sky at this time.

The first day we could hear it we thought it was tractors working n the fields. Thought it was strange it was during night too.The 3rd day it was above the brick condo. I did get a recording.I thought it could be the wind or something. But a mile a way. Missionarys heard same sound during night also and thought was neighbors. A lot of the city heard . But most shrugged it off. It was minus degrees out so was not good to go out side .At 4th of july of the year 2022 I did also point out to my husband 2 red orbs flying back and forth. Took pictures and then it turned red and became one . I'm old and don't know how to up load photos and recordings. Here. U can contact me if u want.

Franklin, ME
At 4:11 am, I noticed a very bright, clear light moving through the sky. At first I thought it might be a plane but then realized it was moving far too fast. I woke my husband up when I noticed it began hovering in mostly the same spot, with the exception of some zigzagging for the next two hours until we could no longer see it with the morning light. The entire time, other smaller lights appeared to emanate and break away from the larger light source. Some leaving at a high rate of speed until vanishing and others circling nearby before returning. The main light source was also disappearing and re-emerging in the same spot. We aren’t sure if that was from clouds obscuring our vision but the sky seemed mostly clear to us. At times, there appeared to be some type of spot light or haze coming from the main source of light.

East Greenwich, RI
I was driving the interstate at night with my buddy headed to casino when a very bright flashing light appeared in the horizon, I had my eyes on the road the whole time and it appeared almost as if it was out of thin air, flying on with no curve to its direction or sound, no trail, nothing that would indicate it’s possible with the technology we have today. The UFO flashed twice, the second time it flashes it had disappeared and it’s absolutely impossible for it to have just disappeared. By the time it blinked the second time, my buddy had also picked up on the object flying at an extreme rate of speed blink and disappear. I know it couldn’t have been an airplane or helicopter, I have never seen something fly with such speed in my line in a straight line without producing sound by breaking the sound barrier. I have never reported a UFO sighting and I have never experienced something like this in my life, I wish I had a video for better explanations however, I also know I couldn’t have been the only one on that highway with my friend who had seen what we seen. If our eyes picked it up in the night sky out of all those other dimmer lights from planes and other civilized aircraft’s, other had to of as well. Following seeing the light disperse in the sky out of no where, we had seen multiple plane lights and helicopters stationed, flying around the exact area where we had seen the light, this also helped us distinguish the difference between what we had seen and what we know as currently accessible technology. Not sure if the other aircraft were looking for what we had seen but if it showed up on an airport radar and vanished, it would make sense.

Mentor Headlands, OH
My husband took the dog out and called me out there was a I'm guessing cylindrical craft( the lights were in a straight horizontal line) in the distance moving very slowly horizontally and it was changing colors from white to red, orange then yellow and back to white. From where we are it had to have been pretty large and the approximate location would have been over the mentor headlands which is on lake erie. There's alot of beach and nothingness out there it's a park and lots of wild land I guess you would call it, dunes, scrub grass ect. We watched it for a few minutes until we couldn't see it anymore because of the house across the st. We live approximately 5 miles away that's why I say it had to have been pretty big but we also don't know how far off shore it was, how high in the sky ect...

Lone Pine, ID
The sighting was insane, After noticing these amber/red orbs, things get blurry. We talked to each other at length because both of our memories seem to differ. He said he pulled over to watch but I thought we kept on driving. Regardless, at 3 pm, we were still in Lone Pine, at a local camping area just walking around when my memory is clear again. We totally forgot about the appointment for approximately 6 hours somehow and seemed to forget hours of time.

Woke up at approximately 2AM to use the master bathroom. We live on land with no tall structures nearby. A long rectangular window is above our bathroom sink. Got up to use the restroom and flashing lights caught attention. Out the window was a giant glowing sphere with lights spinning around the circumference of the sphere. Sphere was stationary in the sky, no movement. Lights were various colors but non repeating. Dazzle like effect. Went to tell husband and object was gone on the return. It appeared to be over a small neighborhood to the south of us.

The UFO was back last night. I was going to bed at 1:00am. Our house has venetian blinds on all the windows, the ones where you twist the rod to tilt the fins open or closed. I have the window by my bed (facing South) partially open cuz I like to look at the stars while I fall asleep. And as I crawled into bed - yeah just getting into bed, not asleep yet - I saw it. Big metallic orb, estimate the size as roughly VW van sized, appeared to be maybe half mile up, half mile away from my house, with VERY BRIGHT white light emanating from the bottom third of it. Zipping around at crazy speed. Zigzagging at angles that make no sense, seemingly no reason to it, without any break in speed as it changes direction INSTANTALY. And it blipped invisible every now and then, only to pop into view further across the window immediately, as if it's just skipping over huge distances. I don't know if the light on the bottom is just a searchlight sort of thing, or maybe some kind of spectrographic scanner, or maybe part of its engine systems? But it's VERY BRIGHT. Like when you're driving at night and that one truck with 97 headlights between the bumper and the roll bar turns on its hi-beams and its fog-lights as it drives towards you. The spherical shape was pretty well defined, in the glow of that light, even from that distance away. I watched it zip around for about 20 minutes until I fell asleep. The whole time, it never left the area framed by my window. Almost like it KNEW I was watching and wanted to show off?? I was indoors this time, viewing it through a window, but if it's like the last time then if I had been outside I would have noticed it was moving soundlessly, too. Can't confirm that this time since I was indoors though. It was just too cold to go outside and check, and I was in bed already so I didn't want to get up anyway. Anyone else been seeing these things lately? About me: I am 41 years old, usually I work as an environmental scientist with a background in chemistry and hydrology. but I've been on disability for 2 years due to an autoimmune disease that resulted in some pretty serious limitations to my range of motion. Been getting the RIGHT medication recently though, just started looking for work and hoping to adjust my career a bit so I can manage my health while still making a living. I am sane and not prone to exaggeration on stuff like this.

The whitish/ yellow lights, along with the green circular shape in the sky where not visible to the naked eye while taking photos. The items discussed where not seen until the photos where observed days later. The pictures where taken with my Samsung cell phone. Under the details on the photo: where F2.2, 1/3 s, 1.88mm, ISO 640.

Cylinder. Golden orbs over Orlando turning white heading from Orlando too the south towards hunters creek and possibly the Disney area. I enlarged one of the photos to find a cylinder shaped object in the white lights. The first sighting was two lights maybe 30 minutes later three more came in from the same area. The first two objects that I saw over Orlando a little after 12 AM one had left and flew off to the north the other one flew towards my area heading south.

Conover, NC
I have been having internet problems recently. On 12/17.2022, I had connectivity problems with my internet and as a result emergency services was called to my house twice for a series of alleged 911 hang-up calls. These calls coincided with a "spike" in the Spectrum Internet DOCSYS modem that provides my internet and telephone services as well as a severe degradation of my WiFi signal causing my use of a streaming service to be interrupted. The police came to my house twice asking if everything was okay. I explained that the internet was acting up and it must be an error, till it happened again a few minutes later. I called Spectrum Internet to report the anomaly and set-up a technician to come out and replace the modem. The next day, 12/18/2022 (one hour ago or so at time of writing), I started getting the same intermittent internet issues and checked the available networks that were broadcasting within range of my device. There was an open network called "Marvell" with a number I don't remember showing a signal strength higher than my own high-end gaming router's signal, which is 30 feet away from my device. This signal was stronger than any other the device could detect by far, so I thought there was someone outside since Wifi doesn't usually have such a high powered signal when coming from any amount of distance and through thick brick walls. As I walked outside, I noticed what I believe to be a drone very, very low above my house. This was larger than a Mavic drone commercially available, and was larger than most drones I have ever seen. It was huge and very close. This is NOT a report of aliens or whatever. This was obviously a drone, I have seen and flown drones, and am familiar with their shape, size, and flight characteristics. This was a drone. There were 4 white LEDs flashing in unison about once per second and the drone appeared to react to my presence by ascending quickly and leaving my house near the Cook Out restaurant and heading towards the Conover Fairgrounds about a mile away. I attempted to follow the drone barefoot, but the machine was moving too fast for me to keep up. I had hoped to follow it to it's point of origin, but was unable to keep up. After giving chase for about 2 minutes, I realized it was futile and the operator must have been farther away than I could walk as I live in a urban area, and would not have caught it for all the traffic and it's speed. I returned home and called the police to report the incident. There is a 911 call to Catawba County documented. An office came by, took a very quick verbal report and warned me against shooting at it as that was my first instinct since it seemed threatening and large enough to possibly kill someone if it struck them. The officer left quickly and I feel he was going to try and track it down. This was a very large drone, not like the expensive toys I have seen and played with, this was something different. I plan to file FOIA requests with a few agencies to see if any of them had a drone flying that night. This is a small town, and I don't feel like the cop knew about it's presence or purpose as he did seem to want to catch it too. If it wasn't the cops, and it wasn't a "normal" drone, who is operating such a device? This should be investigated as the pilot was NOT within any line-of-sight that I could see, and I looked. I wanted to follow it back to them and break it. The size and speed of this device makes it a possible lethal weapon being operated by unknown actors with an unknown intent while producing similar effects which disrupted emergency services and internet service at my house. I will swear to this in court.
