IdentifiedEwa Beach, HI
I've sent a few pictures that I think you might find interesting. Or at least give a plausible explanation. One is a close up of the object in question and the other is the actual photo of the sunset with the object upper-center-left appearing as a small dot. The third is the object closer and has moved to upper-center-right. Please note: neither my girlfriend or I noticed the object when the photos were taken. Not until this morning when I was looking at the pictures did I see them yet they are clearly visible. Look forward to hearing from you and hearing what you think we are seeing here. Location: Nimitz Beach, Oahu, Directly across the street from the US Coast Guard Station. Date: 21 October 23 Time: ~6:00PM [NUFORC annotation: Camera Anomaly - Certain]

Henryville, IN
The object was not seen by the naked eye. It was no lens flare, and have the photos to prove that a cross shaped object makes a rapid decent and gets closer goes over our heads and keeps flying north. It was the middle of the early evening. Still plenty bright out. The photos capture the crafts path over the course of a few minutes. Again, neither of us saw anything in person. But then looked at our photos later and really dug deep into it. [NUFORC annotation: Bird - Possible]

I was sound asleep, probably about nine in the morning and was awakened by a very loud crash noise. I live near a fighter jet training Air Force base so I am used to loud planes flying over quite often - sometimes very low. This noise was much louder!! Honestly, it sounded like a crash. I jumped out of bed and ran to the window and saw what looked like a missile flying by. It was bullet shaped, metallic looking silver gray, and moving quite slow at a very slight decline. It was flying at about my eye level from the house and then disappeared into the trees. I waited to report this because I thought people would think that I am crazy. I have never seen anything like this before in my entire life. I hope this information is helpful.

Sitting at one spot familiar to myself (again) & it's going on 03:00AM and looking to the S.W. at I believe Venus? *checked with Earth Sky.com it was Venus, and to the right of the brightly glowing Venus his morning and a solid black shape, like a US state shaped (Utah, NM?) appears all of a sudden now!, entirely noticeable and really really black. Like if you know what a shadow entity is then I'd equate it to that as a solid, initial reference and blips out. Almost immediately following to the left of Venus/star a super faint flash, spark! of a thing. - and done-

It looks like an oval form and with pinocle, I think I see something next to it that looks like metal. It stays still until I start trying to film it with my phone, then it moves quickly. It move so fast like nothing I have seen before. It stays very still now..like it is watching me ..or this part of the world..very scary..actually. I have movies and pictures.. I can send them.

A bright circular light with red flare spotted high in the sky with a slight decline. It leveled out as the flare diminished into a short but persistent tail. It then changed direction slightly then when went upwards with great force with a visible orange ark in front as though it was going too fast. Similar to the look of an asteroid entering the atmosphere it behaved the same as it went upwards back into the the sky and eventually too distant to see into space.

Dark Sky footage at one of my weather stations captured an unexplained image. This Image is an 8 second exposure that repeats every 5 minutes of the night sky at a remote weather station site. Upon reviewing the timelapse, I found one image displaying a point of light traveling 60-80 miles in that 8 second exposure, along an irregular pathway. I welcome further review!

There was 8 bright lights in the sky they hovered in one spot for an hour. They started going out 2 at a time every 30 minutes. I also have pictures of the objects.

It made me think of the China satellite in China. At first we thought it was a shooting star. But the light repeated the same pattern from the same start point to the same end point at least 8-10 times. It didn't move that fast. And was faint. And when the faint cloud seem to pass we could no longer see it. It was a consistent and purposeful duration. I think a laser from a satellite.

The two orbs were seen to the north. Two people saw this, one went to pull out a phone to use a planet finding app. By the time the app was ready the orbs were gone. All five people are looking to the sky now and one says “are those birds”? We all looked to the west and could see a chevron shaped objet with 3-4 lights on each side traveling southbound. It was a few thousand feet away; I have seen planes fly as close as this was and their was no sounds and it had a consistent speed that was slower than propeller aircraft and faster than geese. We all watched it go out of sight behind the trees.

As we were driving, I noticed a bright object hovering above a mountain. It wasn’t moving and it was very bright. After telling some people about it, I found out the same object was photographed in Soda Springs two days earlier. We compared photos, and they seem to be the same thing.

Was taking pictures of Lake Superior and later when I was looking at the pictures this red thing was in the photo. It was in only one photo, my wife and I never saw it in real life. It would have been very easy to spot with sunshine and 0 obstructions. I took several photos quickly and this was in only one. If you have any idea what it is please tell me, thank you.

I enjoy coffee every morning while watching the sky. I look for different celestial objects and the international space station. I even have an app that helps me understand what I am seeing. On the morning of October 20th at approximately 6:45am I was stargazing and enjoying the view of Jupiter. Suddenly 3 lights appeared in the western sky between Jupiter and the horizon from my vantage point on my front porch. The 3 lights were moving North in a triangle formation for about 1 minute. I tried to grab my phone to record, but when I looked back up 2 of the lights had disappeared and then the 3rd light disappeared. The lights did not fade or leave a trail. It’s as if the lights were snuffed out.

Easton, MD
Long string of bright yellow light with dispersed dots of white light and one red light on left end of string as it moved across the sky from southwest to northeast. Yellow string moved as a broad front, not in a linear fashion (similar to a starlink as I understand it), along the axis of advance. Absolutely silent as it moved. Altitude estimated at 2000 to 3000 feet. Shape of the line appeared to change, as can be seen in the two pictures attached. Multiple images of the yellow line in the pictures are due to camera shake during pro-longed exposure. Unfortunately, the entire line of light is not in the pictures due to haste in grabbing the camera and taking the pictures.

Spokane Valley, WA
I was working night shift on break at work in the Spokane Valley when I looked up and was gazing at the stars. When I noticed movement out of the corner of my eye, I then honed in on a triangle shaped group of 3 lights that were very dim, no brighter than the background stars, that was definitely closer then the stars, moving rapidly while rotating slowly. No flashing lights or sound was emitted.

Two Harbors, MN
I glanced to the the sky and witnessed a white glowing orb with a soft blue hue. There was a black line dividing the orb, making it look like a hamburger. I looked away. But then, my daughter asked me "do you see that?" So, I glanced up to the sky again and watched an object pulsate in a wave like pattern down towards Earth. It had beautiful white lights that would appear and then disappear as it was moving along it's path. It was absolutely beautiful. My attention suddenly shifted as I (we) watched a dark black triangle move across the sky. It had a few of the beautiful sparkling white lights, but they disappeared as it turned into a deep and dark black color. It got very close to us as we stood there watching it fly by. My daughter said it was the size of a commercial air plane, but what I saw was much smaller. The only reason I could see it at all was because of it's deep, rich black color. It was absolutely silent as it passed us by, us, which was odd and absolutely amazing! In total, my experience lasted approximately 5-10 seconds. But, it felt much longer, like slow motion took over from start to finish. I told my daughter that I felt like I was hypnotized as we were walking back to the house. Overall, I'm happy I got to experience this life changing event, I will never forget it! Ever.
