Cortez, CO
I stepped outside of my hotel room and this massive light shooting across the sky immediately caught my eye. A light as big as a full moon was moving south southwest of Cortez Colorado. I ran back into the room to grab my phone and was able to get a picture of it however the street light kept me from getting a good picture. As I was trying to get to a area where the light would not interfere a large plume of smoke I guess came from the front of the object and the entire light passed through it and then was quickly out of sight.

Brewerton, NY
Walking down long pt rd towards beach rd in Brewerton I saw a long cigar shaped craft moving very slowly and hovering. It looked like it came accross the lake and moving toward I -81. I live near the airport across Oneida Lake and often see planes taking off and landing near the Airport. I live on Beach Rd and it was hovering near my house. I'm used to hearing helicopters but this made absolutely no sound. As I walked closer to the craft it turned and appear to be triangular with a curve on long side and two foreshortened sides. It was not like any craft I've ever seen, other than something resembling a stealth bomber but more rounded on edges. I would like to note I saw this craft around the time within an hour President Biden was leaving Syracuse. There were other types of air traffic in the area during this time as I could see multiple (identifible) planes flying around. I'm not sure if it was an undisclosed aircraft for security purposes, since the military works on different kinds. All I know is that I saw an unidentifible flying object that was shaped oddly and I've never seen before. Unfortunately I did not have my cell phone on me to capture it.

Near San Diego, CA
No one has contacted me about my other sightings. I have been abducted since I was a child. Regardless, I was looking out of my plane window and turned my attention back to my seat. Then I felt energy or pulsating--it felt like energy was being pushed towards me. So I looked out the window and saw a triangle moving quickly in the sky next to the aircraft. It moved quickly to the right, stopped briefly, pulsated, and then zoomed out of sight. I cannot remember what color the lights were, but I think that they were green. It was the shape of a triangle and I could feel it's electro magnetic field. Very hypnotizing. I'm still being abducted, but no one has contacted me about any of this. They take me at night. The abductions might've slowed down a bit after my first complaint. They might be mad at me. I saw a psychic and was told that I am a hybrid.... I'm worried that it's true... Why am I here to begin with?

Apex, NC
On Oct,27 2022 I was driving home from Kohls department store. I was traveling on West William Street towards Apex Peak Way. I got in the left turn lane to make my left turn and as I was waiting, I looked over to my chiropractor’s office ( on the left ), no reason, just kind of daydreaming. As I was looking around I noticed a bright lights hovering in the night sky caught my eye. I would say about 10-12 lights. It was behind the parking lot area ( address provided). It was barely moving and rather low , just above the tree line. At first, I thought it was weird and I couldn’t process what it was, so I kept watching. What I was seeing didn’t fit into the box of what I know to be in the sky. It had too many lights and they were arranged in a circle. The object seemed to tilt/ pivot (this is how I could see the shape as I was looking up at the “ bottom”) and move very little then it started moving slowly. It was a large/ huge object that had blackness between the lights , I tried to make out the shape and it was very hard to be exact on what I was seeing. For a second I thought I saw angular solid between the lights, but I can’t be sure. It seemed to be a hexagon or a circle, I say hexagon because it seemed as if some of the lights were evenly spaced out and on a linear line. The size is hard to describe but I will try. Larger than an airplane but not much bigger. As if you drew a circle ( or hexagon) around an airplane and lined it with lights. However big a commercial airplane is , I’m not sure , but that is close to it. I couldn’t figure it out what I was seeing, and I went through all the possibilities. I was in awe of it and watched it move away quietly. Well, it seemed quiet as I have easily heard plane flying low in my car and I wasn’t hearing anything. At that moment as it drifted away, I came to the conclusion it was either a cluster of drones or an UAP. When I thought that it could be an UAP, I suddenly thought, I must get video so I can figure out this mystery. I raced to fallow it and I saw it again twice more on the left-hand side of the a Apex Peak way. It was still traveling so very low. I shot a video and all I got was a distant light…worthless. I kept driving around for the next ten minutes or so, in hopes of seeing again like the first time. If only I had the presence of mind to capture it on video when I first saw it, however, never in a million years would I think I would see such a thing in the sky that I could not explain. I hope to solve this mystery. I don’t know if just anyone can call the aviation station, it must have been on someone’s radar. Also, I must mention, I recall ever seeing a plane fly that low that is or was that large. Usually planes ascend or descend , not hover around . I am convinced it was not a plane or helicopter. I have no idea what i saw tonight. I hope you can look into this, I hope other people wrote in too.

Hamilton, MO
Was checking deer cameras by cell service and observe a bright white object just past sunset, over pond or maybe on pond damn. There’s no roads nearby, houses or people on our property. Appears to be something larger than typical pickup truck, in cylinder shape. I will physically look at the spot on 10/29/22 when i go there to hunt. I provided a daytime photo and the actual photo with a deer in it

The object was moving very quickly and kept fluctuating in light and also had this aurora around it as it was moving and ended up vanishing out of thin air.

Safford, AZ
I took a picture of a Space X Falcon 9 rocket and am mystified by 4 objects in close association with it – they do not look like Starlink satellites, or any other kind of satellite. The rocket was loaded with 53Starlinks and my photo was taken in SE Arizona 7 minutes after its launch from California. The objects are identical with one another, and appear a bit like a plane, with a main body and a wing structure. Two of the objects, the most conspicuous, are located on either side of the crescent moon, with a third one above and slightly to the left of the one glowing green, and a fourth one in front of the rocket. Taken with a iphone 13 camera. I posted the photo on Facebook and no one had a clue what they could be, and I emailed the photo to the Media department of Spacex but have not heard back.

Las vegas, NV
Single solid white light seen high above all aircraft did not emit any flash of light nor con trail behind it. Light did emit a coned shape plume of light as a short tail. Flying east bound from above Las Vegas. Moved at the same speed of aircraft in the area. Did not stand still during flight light a comet would appear. Light did not burn out and was to slow for a meteorite. Filmed above building to show distance and speed of travel.

Kingman, AZ
Seen from the parking lot of Cerbat Elementary school, Jagerson Rd. in Kingman Arizona between 6:17 and 6:26 P.M During Cerbat Elementary School's "Trunk or Treat" Halloween event, a comet-like object came very slowly from the NW (roughly the direction of Las Vegas,) changing directions and in one instance doing a loop, leaving a jet-like "vapor trail" in it's wake that lasted until the light faded and it was dark and no longer visible. I'd have thought it was something from the Air base in Vegas, but I can't think of anything that would move this slow, this low, cause the large comet-tail, yet move like it did and change directions! It was late dusk, and it moved within a finger's width of the thin crescent moon from my vantage point (Tuesday was new moon.) To the naked eye it appeared to be a comet with a *large* flaring tail like you'd see on TV of comets in outer space. Holding up my finger did not obscure the end of the tail it was so big. It appeared to be significantly lower than the average altitude (jet stream) of a jet liner (by perhaps half) and moved VERY slowly across the sky into the SE. At first there was enough twilight that the tail appeared almost like frosted glass. Hundreds of people standing in line saw this. It was a pretty good size, and I'm in my 50's and have sky watched my whole life, and I've NEVER seen anything like this. It moved WAY too slowly to be a shooting star, and those don't do loops and change directions. The "vapor trail" appeared to almost zig-zag in it's trajectory, do the loop, then turn more southernly. From what I *personally* observed after my grandson ran to the car and pointed it out, it actually looked at first like it was coming closer into the near atmosphere, then slowly regained altitude. During the 5-6 minutes I watched it, the size of the main body did not change size as might be expected from a large asteroid burning in the atmosphere, and the tail was consistent in length for the duration. About 30 seconds before when I estimated it would leave visual range to the SE, I lost sight of the tail, and I thought it's direction changed again and the tail was now directed at me. Within another 1-2 seconds I lost sight of anything at all except the vapor trail-like marking in the sky back to the NW illuminated by moonlight and the only analogy I can give is almost like low hanging autumn clouds, but only where it had traveled. There was no other jet activity in the sky I could see (and again, they would have been significantly higher) and the object appeared from as much as I could see to be round-ish, but any actual shape was obstructed by the air-disruption around it that caused the comet-like tail. It was absolutely astounding looking, and when I caught sight of it I thought it would just streak across the sky, but it moved SO slowly I told my husband "I don't think that's a meteor, look how slow it's moving" and he agreed. Then we pondered if it was some sort of rocket, but again, it moved too slow for what I would expect even those to move. I'd have taken out my camera if I hadn't been absolutely amazed by it trying to figure it out. I had my phone right next to me, and in hindsight I thought I should have taken a picture, but with the 100's of people there, I'm sure someone got pics and maybe a video or two. If it was a large close meteor, it had to have been of a big enough size that if it had made contact with the earth it would have taken out all of Kingman. But again, Meteors and Comets don't zig-zag and do loops..........

Douglas, AZ
I was driving north on Leslie Canyon road about five miles north of Douglas, AZ which is right on the Mexican border adjacent to Agua Prieta, Sonora, Mexico. Looking to my left or to the west over the mountains I saw an extremely brightly lit cone shaped projectile light heading SE and the cork screw contrail from where it came from was in the NE which would be in the area of Tucson. It had a missile type shape to the front of it although I could not see the shape of missile behind the cone in the front. There was a cone shaped corona emitting from the tip of the object that spread out quite a distance from the "tip" of the object. I don't know how fast it was moving, but it was about the same speed as a jet aircraft as I could easily track it with my phone camera. It was sunset and the light emitted from the object eclipsed the sunset it was so bright. I thought to myself it could be a missile being shot at another object, but I did not see any other objects in the sky it could be aiming for. I presumed it might be a missile shot from Davis-Monthan AFB in Tucson. I was able to take video with my phone, but I was in the middle of the road and needed to pull to the side since a car was coming. I had my hazard lights on, but was concerned it would crash into me so I pulled over. While parking, disconnecting my safety belt and exiting the car, I inadvertently stopped the video. I thought it was still running as I "filmed" it continue to move over the Mexican border at which point the front part of the projectile "blacked out" and there was an object I could still see, but it was blurry and hard to make out. The light from the object's "contrail" was long and could be seen for the next hour or so until the sun went down. I have photos and video of the event.

Holyoke or Springfield, MA
What I saw looked like a long flat thing cruising at a pretty low altitude just above the western hills as I rounded the curve on interstate 91 north in the West Springfield area. I don't know whether it was West Springfield or Holyoke. I also don't know how many witnesses but the highway is pretty busy at that time so there were probably others who saw it. It was moving surprisingly slowly and was also strange in that it appeared flat. Suddenly something triangular dropped beneath it and appeared to fall from it towards the ground. It also looked thin and slight. I wish I'd had a a dash cam! And I've never reported anything like this before because I tend to be very skeptical of these reports. I make no speculations about what I saw.

It zoomed right over us was totally silent multi-colored small pill shape. It zoomed over our head no sound right down the street veered up did. Wierdo twisty thing then went down below some tree lines. Later that night, right above where it went down we both again saw a blinking light that just blinked never moved and slowly faded until it disappeared. It had like yellow wings and was blue a yellow on body. Three lights underneath it. No windows on sides anyway and like I said it made absolutely no sound whatsoever. And this was in the early afternoon yet none was around but my friend and I.

I was heading from Gallatin to Portland on highway 109 when I saw a large black line appear in the sky it morphed from a horizontal line into a large diamond shape all black could see no lights only black looked to be much larger than a airplane by maybe 10 times but I could tell it was very high in the sky. The sky was clear and blue. It had folded itself open like a piece of paper looked very black and flat.. It was just stationary for about 30 second then folded back up to a black line and disappeared. I never saw it move or fly it just opened up and then closed and was not there anymore.

State College, PA
Key notes: • Sighting occurred at 11:46 AM, EST and lasted for approximately 30 seconds. • For about 20 minutes, there was an E-2 Hawkeye in flying relatively low over the area which is peculiar because this area rarely sees military aircraft with the exception of C-130's, Blackhawks, Chinooks and the occasional Apache. • Object was spotted almost immediately after the Hawkeye left the area. • Object resembled a dot or orb, rather high and very bright white, moving very fast from the east-northeast to the west-southwest. I would estimate that the size of the object would be similar to holding the pinhead of a needle out at arms length. • Object moved in a smooth straight line before it made a slight arc over Mount Nittany, then continued on in a straight trajectory • Object left no trail, made no sound, emitted no beams, did not change color, etc. The brightness remained consistently bright until it faded from view. I am an Air Force veteran and am familiar with military aircraft, having worked directly with the F-15C for over 3 years. I do not believe that this object was an aircraft reflecting sunlight because it maintained the same brightness throughout the sighting and it was moving faster than any aircraft I know. Nor do I believe it was a drone due to the significant speed. Nor do I think it was something like milkweed floating through the air because they milkweed simply doesn't move that fast. Trying to take a picture of the object would have been useless because it would my camera would not have been able to resolve the image. Besides, it was simply moving too fast to capture. If anyone in the State College area saw something similar to what I saw on October 27th, 2022 around 11:46, PLEASE report it. Through experience, I know that the more witnesses there are to a sighting the more credible it is. If contacted by NUFORC, please contact me by email only.

Pensacola, FL
I was driving to work early in the morning on the 27th. I was about to go on the off ramp of I-110 into downtown PensCola when I noticed 3 lights in the sky. At first I thought it was a plane. Pensacola has a lot of air traffic and were near a major airforce base, but when I really looked at the craft I noticed there was no structure connecting the lights. There was a faint siloughte surrounding the lights that looked like a triangle. The only thing I can compare it to is if you saw a jellyfish in the sky with lights inside. As I was processing this in my head the lights dimmed out and it was if the whole craft just faded out of existence.

I was driving and I saw 6 green lights in the sky, 2 of them appeared to stop while the 4 kept moving. The 2 crafts in the back sped up and flew past the other 4. A big fireball appeared and everything just disappeared.

I was walking outside in the morning with my brother, it was not very bright outside because it was earlier in the morning, and we were about to leave for a morning walk when I noticed that there was a shining light high above the trees around the property, I pointed it out to him and he noticed it too. I turned around and saw my dog barking a lot from inside the glass door. I was surprised because he is usually a quiet dog. My brother filmed the object with his cell phone until it moved upwards in the same spot and vanished into the clouds. After the event, the sky was noticeably brighter after only two minutes of being outside. I looked at my watch and about fifteen minutes had passed, but the recording on my brothers phone was only 2 minutes long.

Heading north on bike - object came from east (ocean/AIA). At first I thought it was a shooting star but then when it came overhead in front of me I I saw that it was much larger and glowing. It seemed to be rotating or turning as it moved SW. A few seconds later, far to my left it quickly shot out of sight

October 27, 2022 1st day of my vacation, staying in an ocean front hotel, 8th floor. Woke up 5:30ish to use the bathroom and then decided to watch the waves off my private balcony. The sky was beautiful and one star in particular was much brighter than the rest. I stood there admiring it and enjoying the night sky, the sounds of the water and the peace and quiet. After a few minutes I noticed that bright star was moving sideways (to my right) and moving quickly. I thought "Gee, that can't be a star, the earth doesn’t turn on its axis that fast…..it must be a plane." So, I kept watching when it suddenly changed direction and started moving towards me at an even faster pace. I kept waiting to hear the sound of an airplane but there was no sound at all other than the ocean waves. I began to feel a bit frightened, so I took a picture hoping later my husband could tell me what he thought it was (he’s really into airplanes and anything military). In the morning I forwarded it to my husband (who was back home caring for our dogs). He felt it definitely was not a plane and most likely could be labeled a UFO. I don’t know what this is but felt I should let someone know. The time stamp on my phone says 5:48am.
