Lexington Park, MD
I was with my husband in the backyard taking pictures with my iPhone of a whole rainbow over the St Mary’s River. After examining the pictures we saw an octagonal shape flying. The object is seeing on the left side of pictures. It seems to be gray and metallic. No lights and no sound.

The black rapidly moving vessels, one following the other, I spotted in several areas of the sky and they disappeared after 20-30 minutes. I have a short several second video with electric poles in the foreground. I also have the picture of the weird emission configurations.

I was the only witness. I did not physically see anything but a BRIGHT light. I was in my bedroom, wide awake & on my phone. I saw a light coming through the window beside me on my right and the window on the other wall to my left. The light panned like someone was shining a flashlight or driving a car. But I did not hear anything or see anything when I looked out my window. This only lasted less than a minute - maybe 15 second, but it was a very steady light. The light was as bright as a photo being taken wirh the flash or the sun's light. When I saw the light, I will admit I got scared and turned my phone on lock mode to hide my light & as soon as I did that the light in the windows vanished. I will say, the light seemed to shine for 15 seconds to a minute, because it was slow and fast at the same time. I'm so puzzled. This is the second time this has happened to me and I was the only witness. Same exact experience. No time was missing, but the complexity of trying to figure out how long the light shined is quite puzzling. It happened quickly and steadily. I saw it happen quickly, but in a different way it lingered for so long in that quick moment.

Stevens Point, WI
On several nights in late August and early September myself and several neighbors observed a craft near our homes. The vehicle hovered silently. It's shape was that of a disk with a dome in the middle. Along the disk length was a row of white lights, while the center dome shifted between red, green, and blue light. Comparing the sighting with sky charts proved it was not any known celestial object; it was in the area of the constellation of Bootes on our northwest horizon. My neighbor noted that, on the night of September the first, it was hovering in the west, and quickly zipped to the northwest, near Seginus, around the time I came outside. It remained hovering and color shifting while I recorded it. Since Bootes moved beyond our horizon, I have not spotted it again.

I was outside in my backyard looking up at the stars and I noticed one that was very bright right above me. It was not the moon or a plane. When I started to look harder at it, I noticed that it was moving around erratically; not like any star I've ever seen before. It was pulsating and moving around crazy. It had a bright aura or glow around it. So I took some videos and pictures and after looking at the pictures and videos close up, it looks pretty wild!!!! I have no idea what it is but it isn't something ive ever seen.

We were standing out front of the house, when starting at the north, a brilliant like 10 point star came out of the clouds heading eastward. It was going in and out of the clouds as it ran down the face of the mountains. It then turned south as it started circling the town. As it bobbed up and down through the clouds it caused them to swirl behind it. It took this easily 20 mile trip only a couple mins. it then headed west and disappeared behind our house. We ran in to tell our roommates and returned a couple mins later to see if anything else was going to happen. Just about that time , heading NW to SE a large red orb cut across the sky and disappeared very quickly. That was it.

It was flashing red and white. It was very far away. It was near the moon. It would move slightly very quickly.

Cave City, AR
Outside enjoying the evening view, and at the corner of my view appeared a rather quick, but steady light. It was very bright, so there was no way it was a satellite. It was also lower in orbit, roughly half a mile from where I was, under the moon. After I observed it for a couple seconds, it accelerated in speed and disappeared (the light was off almost like a switch).

During Hurricane Ians visit on 9/30/22 I was filming clouds out of my bedroom window and saw a red streak/ light in sky. I thought it might be a shuttle but there were no shuttles scheduled during the hurricane. I saw this red orange glow in the sky traveling downwards. I have the video. Not sure what it was and it disappeared behind dark clouds.

I think I’ve been communicating with them at first I thought it might be some thing like Havana syndrome, but this is cognitive dialogue that I’m experiencing and I’ve reduced my conclusions down to it, being some type of psychological attack by another country, or it actually being extraterrestrials, and I am constantly seeing the silver orbs in the sky on the regular to daily basis whenever I do actually take my phone out and get a video or image of some thing that I think is weird that images then I’ll try to change it later on in a way that I’m like I know this image was different because I have it back up to more than one place so when I compare the images, I realize that one has been altered and one is the same

The other much smaller lights were flashing and changing locations. 1- Flashing red, stayed in a tightly confined spot while changing positions slightly, the movement was smooth and fast. 2- Flashing white. Staying in a less confined space, moving often and smoothly. I saw it move in straight lines, but also in round swooping movements. The others were faint and fleeting. None of the lights I saw moved in straight lines or constant movements. It appeared that they were hovering. I was sitting on a bench looking to the south with my head and chin resting on the bench so it wouldn't move.

My sister and I went outside to have a small fire in her fire pit. It was already very dark outside so that we needed to use flashlights to get situated. Once the fire was started I sat back in my Adirondack chair and looked at the night sky. A few stars were visible but I immediately noticed that it looked like the sky was rippling. I looked closer and let my eyes adjust. It looked like a black boomerang was blocking the stars behind it, darker than the sky around it. As I stared I said, “What is that?” And my sister, apparently not seeing what I was seeing yet, said, “It’s an airplane.” I said, “OK” but kept staring intently. She saw this and looked to see where I was looking. She suddenly stood up and said, “What the hell?” I stood up with her and we continued to watch the shape. It had no lights of any kind and there was so sound coming from its direction. I don’t know quite how to describe this but it seemed to glide rather than fly. Maybe it was the speed it was moving at? I’m not sure. From the time I spotted it to the time it disappeared from our sight was probably 30 seconds. It didn’t appear to be as high as a jet would be or as low as a small airplane. It was somewhere in between. It was large. I would guess that it was as large as a passenger jet but, again, there was no sound. After it was gone we paid attention and we could hear jets up high and planes lower. We can’t explain this. If there was a trail it was too dark to see it. As far as we could tell we were the only ones who even noticed its presence. It was very stealthy. It was almost invisible but I don’t know how it would evade the radar of the nearby small airport.

Saw 2 crafts with bright red & green lights hovering in the sky then moving in random directions. They could dart across sky rapidly then back to a hovering state. We saw them over the McDowell Mtn range for two consecutive nights around the same time of 7:30-8:00 PM. The second night we saw 3 crafts that moved over N Scottsdale.

In Lincoln County, West Virginia at 6:45 pm eastern time I was in my driveway looking at some deer and other animals with an ATN Thor LT 3-6 thermal (detects heat) hunting scope. I saw a plane up in the south to southwest sky (looking towards the west hamlin area from my position) and pointed my thermal scope at it and watched it for a few seconds (very very slow while watching like it should fall out of the sky) then I noticed some objects moving faster and the majority of them performing very smooth oval type patterns and I watched them for about 1-2 minutes until i saw 1 of them flying a very straight pattern for a fair distance until the pattern changed to a side to side zig zag pattern still moving forward (kind of like a digital heart beat) until it went over the tree line. At this point i started looking with my naked eye to make sure i wasn't crazy but I do not have the best eye sight and have some floaters in my vision so I went in the house and got my wife.... she came out and started looking though the thermal scope and also said she saw them and saw several of them (neither of us know exactly how many but i for sure saw 3 in my field of view at 1 time but estimate there could have been possibly 5 or 6 max but not 100% sure on that due to field of view of the scope and the fact that they were spread out and had overlapping patterns). I told her to just look with her eyes without the scope and make sure it wasn't something like birds or mosquitos/bugs or something else easily explainable flying around. She said she was able to see "a white thing flying around"..... at that time I had my 8 year old son come out and look (because he has good eyes) and tell me if he saw anything up there. after a few seconds looking up he said he saw "a white circle moving around" then he said "it just flashed bright and disappeared" then a few seconds later he said he saw a smaller white circle appear out of no where the it disappeared again. we stayed outside watching these things until 7:15 pm. I went back out again at approximately 7:45 pm and saw 1 singular object still moving flying some type of smooth circular/oval type pattern back and forth and around the same area in the sky for a couple of minutes until i finally got tired of holding my gun/scope up watching. i came inside and googled what to do and called this place and the gentlemen that answered (i believe his name was mr. davenport) asked me to type up what happened and submit it.

Pacific air show is in town this weekend. They start practicing over the joint airbase in Los Alamitos, CA. It’s fun to go outside and see the jets, skydivers, and various planes fly around. A plane was circling above my house for a while so I was taking video of it when I noticed shimmering strips that were stationary and not moving in any direction in the background. So I started recording a new video to zoom in on these objects. You can notice the airplane I am recording off the left in the beginning on the video. These objects were stationary. And very reflective. They just vanished and we’re not moving.

Looked like a weather balloon when I first saw it, but it flew very straight and rotated until it was out of view. I checked the roof of the building but saw nothing in the sky or near the ground.
