As we watched in bewilderment, there were 3 ufos. Triangle formation at first. Then, the objects would dart around, zig zag, sometimes you could see only 2 then one then 2 then 3 etc. objects at time appear to come close but stayed very East. I saw the report from Bayport, Mn today. I knew I had to fill this out and put this on record. They would go up and down, no pattern I could discern. I remember clear as a bell. But not the date. My ex and I do not speak. His name is ((male's name deleted)) works at Century College in White Bear. He and I were married at the time of this observation. The sky was dusk. A pinkish hue. They stood out clearly. They were far so I can’t say shape. I saw the lights of the crafts And there were three crafts. I saw them in formation as a triangle first then it was like a scattered display of zigzagging and movement With not direct points but like scribbling on a paper? That’s how the flight pattern appeared from my position on Lake one, of Forest Lake that summer evening. I keep looking up. I know about the clouds too. The date in this report above? My phone is not accepting the movement to move the date so I’m putting todays date that I filed this. Thank you

From the patio of my home looking south I spotted an object in the sky with red and green lights. The 2 red lights were blinking sequentially and the green light was steady and seemed to cover a larger portion of the object perhaps covered a section of it. It's very hard to tell the altitude of the object. There are common flight paths coming from the Midway and O'Hare airports to the north and other flight paths going to and from other regional airports, so I am very familiar with seeing them come and go. They behave in a predictable manner. This object was primarily hovering at first. I saw at least 3 jets traveling at various directions at the same time as observing this object. One jet flying south passed either directly over or under this object. With naked eyes it's clear that the object was meandering, easy to notice when referencing trees and other land objects. When I realized this object was not ordinary I went inside and got my phone to record this object. The night sky recording is far inferior to my eyes and did not focus well on the object for most of the recording. The camera also did not pick up the trees or nearby homes to have a reference for altitude or size. I did think I heard a sound from the object. It was hard to tell as the house is close to railroad tracks that are way too busy with train horns and passing train car rumblings. But, it seem the camera did pick up a droning of some kind, either a faint prop or an indeterminate whooshing sound that seemed to wax and wane. The object was stationary but them meandered east and then north which eventually placed it directly above my home where I was standing. Unfortunately this was exactly when a train began blowing its horn and disturbed the sound recording. At this point the camera was able to focus a little better to see the red lights more clearly as they were blinking sequentially, and the solid green light underneath or to the sides. In the darkness the camera is not good enough to focus on the object itself but only recording the lights on it. After the object passed overhead and further east it changed direction to the south again and then to the west, over the forest preserves. It proceeded far into the western sky until I could only view it deep into the tree line. At that point it changed direction again and flew N/NW which again kept it basically flying over the extensive forest preserve area. It kept on that course until it vanished behind the tree line and presumably out of my horizon line of sight. I am not that familiar with drones and my suspicion was that it perhaps was a drone or perhaps a sort of helicopter but I've seen and heard many helicopters flying over this house and they are much louder and they fly along a straight path. If it was a drone it seems it was a pretty advanced one to fly at night and that high and far from a possible remote control. The forest preserve parking areas it flew over were all closed at this time of night. If it was controlled from a town neighborhood area that would be about 2 miles away at its closest. It is worth mentioning that just one block south of my home there is a cell tower. I tried to use that tower's height to estimate the altitude of the object and that's assuming the object was smaller than a single engine plane. I'd estimate the object's altitude was at least 1,000 feet but again depending on its size maybe much higher, or maybe a bit lower, but if so not much lower. I am almost sure the sound I heard briefly was coming from the object. I think if the pilot of that commercial flight that passed over that path looked down they'd have seen the red and green lights. If this object was inside the flight path I think it might have been seen on the control tower radar, but again I am not very familiar with these protocols. addendum: if I knew the maximum size allowed for uploading a video i would try again but after 3 edited videos and 3 failures to do so it's not going to happen I guess.

Watched for an hour now, it darted toward a plane flying by and returned back, will sit stationary for a minute and start moving in dierent direction and in circles. Moves slow and extremly fast at random.

Noticed a white/ish colored object of indiscernible shape moving in a slightly "wavering" flight path (as if being blown by the wind), at an average, slightly variable heading of ~240. My first impression was that it was a piece of blowing trash floating through the air, like perhaps a small plastic grocery bag. I then realized that conditions were completely calm (the KLAS automated weather station reports variable winds at speeds of 0 to 5 mph, consistently, between the times of 0540hrs and 1000hrs PST ). Upon looking away from the object to observe the wind speed, based on the trees and flags in my vicinity, I lost sight of the object and was unable to find it again. I estimated its altitude to be ~400ft, which would have put the speed of the object at an estimated ground speed of approximately ~60 mph; But I could not make out a specific shape of the object, so it's apparent low altitude, and thus it's ground speed, could have been an optical illusion (I derived said estimates based on an object obeying normal laws of physics). It is possible that the object was at a much higher altitude and ground speed. If it was at ~400' altitude, it's GPS location, at first sighting, would have placed it just north the intersection of University Center Dr. and E. Flamingo Rd., crossing squarely through the flight path of the 19R runway of McCarran Intl. Airport. However, if the object was actually at a much higher altitude, it could've been located generally over McCarran Intl. Airport, or possibly even south west of the airfield, and it's ground speed could have been as much as ~3.0 mach or higher. The strangest things about it were it's meandering characteristics: A non-linear flight path - variable speed, heading, and possibly altitude - as well as the fact that it was very difficult to "focus" on and discern a specific shape. Again, it most closely resembled a standard white, plastic grocery bag being blown by a stiff wind. It was not a bird. I am a sky watcher, and have extensive experience with detailed observation of birds & civil & military aircraft of all types, weather phenomena, and blowing trash (I live in Las Vegas), as well as thousands of hours in a very realistic and customized version of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004. I have neither reported nor seen anything "UFO-ish" in my entire 52 years of life, so seeing & reporting something like this is in no way a regular occurrence for me.

Noticed something that I first thought to be a star. I later realized that it had too much of a yellowish hue (reflection of sun?), and also moved in what seemed to be random directions. It would remain stationary for minutes at a time and then dart in different directions. It seemed to be moving too fast and changing directions too quickly to be a satellite. Have been watching it off and on for over an hour. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

I was driving up the Los Alamos hill, and a bright green aircraft shot across the sky. Was not a shooting star or a plane. This was unexplainable! I couldn’t see the shape of the aircraft. It was so fast. If it was a shooting star, I’ve never seen one like that. This was huge and bright green. I wish I could’ve taken a picture but it was way too fast. There was a car in front of me, but I am not sure if they saw it.

I seen a low flying triangle UFO passing over Edgewater Florida at around 7pm on Nov 20th heading S/W towards the Orlando area. It had two blue lights on the lower bottom with 5 to 6 warm white lights flying in perfect formation and moving silently through the clouds at approximately 45mph. I believe they must have been lights on the bottom of a vessel of some type that was using the clouds for cover , and flying low at around 200Ft to stay off the radar. I was more fascinated with the incident watching it pass by rather than running back inside to get my cell phone. I did make a doodle of it the next day that I won’t post because I want to be taken seriously. It was definitely a UFO –Alien Vessel to me.

After exiting Zarzamora St, off of 410 Connally loop, we were on the access road traveling North bound, we saw a white light go over us and disappear. It was traveling horizontally. The white light went directly down the middle of our front windshield and passed us. It was about the speed of a helicopter, which at first glance we that it was. But it didn't have a red light or other lights, it was just a white light. We were going about 50 mph. It disappeared after about 3 seconds. I was in passenger side and saw it and thought my mind or eyes were playing tricks on me. But told me daughter and she said giggled that she thought the same too and saw same thing. I keep telling myself maybe it was a shooting star but I don't remember a trail after it. Also it didn't seem like it was falling down from the sky. It was going horizontally directly over us. It didn't look like a floating lantern because those are usually a yellowish orangey color.

On 11 20 22 about 620pm I was standing out back of my apartment building and out of nowhere I saw this string of lights moving across the sky a line of vertical lights slightly slanted and above it an shorted of horizontal light I ran up the sidewalk and towards the front of my apartment building but it was moving to fast. I seen it so perfectly clear and now I'm convinced that we are not alone.

Around 530 pm a fireball was seen falling from the sky, as in picture and video given. Suddenly it came to a stop, and just floated in the air. Buoyant. We were driving on the highway at the time so we lost it for several minutes, when spotted again we took more vids. Suddenly it shot into upper atmosphere, where it started flashing many dozens of lights. No lights are seen in the pictures. Then, in a puff of smoke, it vanishes. Last picture this can be seen.

while driving towards a pulsating (clear lights only) object in the sky. I took a zoomed in picture of the object...it was slowly moving SE away from town.. it stopped moving and hovered as I drove past it and snapped the zoomed in picture.

This was slow moving slower than an airplane and at first it looked like it had a trail of smoke like an airplane would have but it made no sound. This appeared to be like a orangish light moving slowly across the sky. Because it acted differently I took some pictures and watched it intently. The smoke trail faded away leaving just the light which continued to move very slowly. For approximately 3 minutes I watched it and it slowly faded away until there was nothing. Just yesterday I zoomed in on the images I did with my phone and there is an obvious saucer shape that can be seen. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Ok I was outside on my balcony smoking a cigarette and I looked up. I saw this orange object moving south towards San Jose in different directions up down sideways throughout the evening sky. I even lightweight heard it. I thought it was a drone at first but it’s way different sound than a drone. It sounded very powerful at times it would stop the noise would become silent and they would come back after a few minutes of watching 4 more popped up in different parts of the sky all go in the same direction from left to right also some were closer than the others. They were all at different heights it seemed. In the video that I uploaded, it only shows 2 because my actually phone died as I was recording, so I only have video footage of 2 of the objects not 5 that I mentioned.

Fisherville, KY
Today, November 20th at 1217 PM eastern time, I stepped outside and spotted an Amazon Air (Flight AC3453 from Cincinnati to Houston) jet with a small contrail passing southeast of my location. Near the contrail, I saw a bright dot which seemed to be Changing shape. I was able to zoom in with my Samsung S22 Ultra and capture images as it was moving south east. It was not moving at high speeds or too slow. At one point I did move my camera to where the dot was and it disappeared only to pop up in a different area of the sky I was looking at. Attached are pictures, video, and screen shot of the Amazon Air flight path in comparison to my location using Flight Radar 24. On video is of the one I took, but did a screen record of the video on my phone to zoom in close and show the object changing directions.

NORTH HOLLYWOOD, CA
Object appeared to hover at a high altitude slightly to the east of us. Maybe 5 to 8 miles. Appeared very small to the naked eye and I lost it. Why I’m contacting you is that 4 or 5 minutes later, the same, or a similar object appeared in the opposite part of the sky, to the west. Slightly lower altitude than previously. Moving slowly and deliberately to the east, then to the north, increasing in altitude, getting smaller to the naked eye. I attribute the brightness of the object to its reflecting the sun. The brightness was inconsistent, making it appear that the object was flashing somewhat. This attribute of this sighting makes me think that the object was reflective on only one side or portion of it. I have never seen nor reported a UFO before, but this sighting was unique enough that it left me very curious and if there’s any way to more about what this is, I’d be interested to know more. I have seen satellites and this did not behave like a satellite. An astronomy app confirmed that there were no planets in our sight line. It felt way too high in altitude to be a helicopter or a drone. If it was some form of weather balloon, there would have to have been two of them, because one balloon could not have traversed that distance in such a short period of time. The attached photo is statistically close to worthless but I am including it in any case

Sun city, AZ
I was walking a friend of mines dog, which is not uncommon for me to do. It wasn’t too late at night, for me at least, for Sun City maybe. It’s a 55+ retirement community. As I was walking, though, I noticed that things just seemed weird that night. It was eerily, eerily quiet. I mean, there was no one outside. I didn’t see any cars, there were no planes. Typically there are at least jets occasionally going to Luke Air Force Base. Nothing, it was just so still and quiet; other than a little bit of a breeze. Even my friends dog was acting strangely. I usually take both of my friends dogs, but the one dog refused to go. He didn’t want to go, I’ve never had that happen. They always both love to go. As we were walking, I noticed the dog wasn’t pulling on the leash and wanting to go ahead like he usually would. He stayed right next to me the whole time, to where I was almost tripping over him as I’m walking. I always like to look at the stars and use my app to try and identify different stars and things and as I look up, I saw this bright, bright light moving across the sky. As I stopped to look at it, I got my phone out because I knew this was no satellite or Star. I figured it was a planet or something much brighter. I was going to try and identify it with the night sky app. I couldn’t find anything on my phones Star chart that would explain this light and as i’m looking at it, then back at my phone, it stops moving. I got a strange feeling and felt like it had stopped and was looking at me. It was like it knew I saw it and it saw me. And after it stopped, I started recording on my phone because I’m like thinking no one‘s gonna believe me. This is crazy. It’s hard to capture in the video, but at the time seeing it live was so different. It was changing colors rapidly and it almost looked like it was pulsating or had maybe an electric charge. It looked like what id imagine a giant electron or particle or some thing would look. It seemed very energetic and changing colors and spinning. Then there were other smaller lights that were kind of passing in the background and I’m not sure if they were satellites or what they were but they were smaller than this light and appeared to move with it or toward it. Then it appeared to start moving again, and at one point in the video, it kind of stops and instead of changing colors rapidly it stops and it becomes very very bright and then dims down a little bit and then starts changing colors again. It was very strange. Then it accelerated and took off and started moving more quickly; more like how it was moving in the beginning when I first saw it. I took a short video at first because almost as soon as I started recording I had to stop because I thought something was wrong with my phone, the video was coming out strange, in that the sky seemed to be moving separate from the background house in video. So I stopped and started another longer video but I noticed the same weird effects in the video. I don’t know how else to describe it but that it seemed that the sky was moving separate from the ground where I was recording. Overall, it was a very strange night and I just remember the quite. No bugs, no cars, nothing. The quite was so noticeable because it’s usually constant background noise in the city where I live. Always background cars, planes, bugs, coyotes, owls etc. not this night though.

We stood in a parking lot at night with a lot of light pollution which made it harder to make out the craft. However, we saw well enough to see the black silhouette of the craft, as well as its two lights on both sides of its wings. At first, I thought it was a drone or military testing, but it was flying very low to the ground. There was a plane much higher up with the red and green lights in the air at the same time which proved it was very low to the ground (no more than 6k ft above us). There was absolutely no sound nor visible afterburner, and the planes seemed to be going slow for how low it appeared. The wings looked small and not much was distinguishable regarding the body, it just looked like a flying chevron kind of like a B-2 Spirit but thinner wings and a narrower wing design. My friend and I didn't know what to say at first, but I took a video just incase. The craft isn't visible in the video but I could draw the craft with my photographic memory of the incident.

I spotted the UFO, which was to the left of me as I was heading west on Hwy 694. It was brightly lit and looked to be the size of at least one football field. I pulled over to the side of the hwy and took the pictures attached to this report. A plane had passed by west of this - didn't come close, and I could see the distinct difference. The UFO was very brightly light around the perimeter along the bottom of the craft while it was hoovering. It took off quickly as I was taking the pictures.

Driving on FWY noticed odd slow moving object with bright elongated white lights that were slowly rotating in a circle. Extremely large dark black vessel , this thing was an enormous object. So dark you couldn’t make out a shape,it moved meticulously rotating in a smoothe clockwise turn , while the elongated light also rotated clockwise , parallel then horizontaly back to parallel etc.. it pretty much vanished. Like it peeled open part of the night sky and slide into it slowly, the lights were gone then we saw a reddish orange purpulsion, in comparison to what a sonic boom looks like, only red/orange in color, and completely silent. No noise at all. our best description and overall feeling we had, was how massive in size and powerful it was, This was an incredible and epic experience!
