Exiting home front door - Walking towards my Car - Home faces South - Absolutely clear sky with lots of stars - Suddenly overhead I saw a brilliant Round White Glowing Object that traveled instantly from the North towards the South until I could no longer see it. I saw No Aircraft within my viewing areas. Per my perspective it was not flying within our air space , It was way way out there. The object size was about the size of the head of a pencil eraser. The outer edges of the object seemed to be rough, Not a smooth edge. FYI - I have lived in this area since 1957 (Space Coast) Worked @ space center years ago - I have witnessed many many launches.

From facing North . When I first saw the first object - it was in between trees and I assumed it was probably a helicopter . However, as I got a little better view as it moved, it noticed it looks large and just all red and it was not a clear type red color as would be expected . There was no sound . It was moving relatively slow as a helicopter would . It took about 12 seconds to travel from first to last sighting - around 60 degrees to 80 degrees altitude angle . It moved from north to south . Bearing at first sight was about 320 degrees - North being 0 degrees . As I was wondering about that, I saw a second object the same size moving the same speed in the same path . This time I noticed it looked like a fire slightly darker and lighter orange radiation or flow . At one point it appeared that a small portion separated - similar to a spark or fragment . It remained illuminated for a couple of seconds . I moved away from the trees and tried to observe the object for a longer time period and I noticed no sound at all . The environment was quiet . The object looked much too large to be light source from a regular aircraft . It did not blink . It did not flare or flutter . It appeared to be fuzzy / blurry like a fire heat source that has subtle rapid slight variations in colors . Could not tell how high in the sky it was because I could not make out any significant features other than the rather large glowing color . It wasn't bright for something under 1000 feet but it it was several thousand feet then it was bright and large . It was about the size of a large helicopter at 750 feet .

I live in Florida seen many SpaceX launches and can debunk many, many sightings. At approximately 2:30pm on Saturday, October 14th I had my telescope setup in my driveway nothing special. It has an adapter to where I can hook my cellphone up to save my eyes. Now I have photos before and after I see these two objects. The video didn’t show them in the beginning because I’m thinking maybe it’s dust or dots but I was filming this live on TikTok when the appeared you can hear me ask what they are when they appear.. not sure if you have an answer…

It was a small white light, and it faded out at sunset as I pulled out my phone. It was slower than a shooting star. And it did not blink or leave a trail like an aircraft.

We went on a night walk through our neighborhood the early morning hours of Oct 5, around 1:45 am. It is a small horseshoe-shaped road-- to walk the entire thing takes about 15 min. 1/4 of the walk from the house, facing east, slightly southeast, I saw what at first appeared to be an EXTREMELY large fireball/comet. I pointed it out to my companion in excitement, and he followed to get a better view. It was less than 2,000ft AGL, and AT LEAST from end to end, school bus sized. Moreover, as we sprinted about 40 yards to get a better look from behind my neighbors tree, I realized it was completely motionless. Not only that, but it was 100% not a comet. It was a bright crimson red rectangle facing West (since that seemed to be the front, not entirely sure) 'hovering' vertically, and tapered to a point or rounded point back towards the east side of it. As my eyes adjusted to what my brain was processing, I blinked and squinted to force the object to make more sense, but instead it flashed a subtle rainbow wave along its bottom end. We jokingly said "hello" and waved to it, trying to make fun of ourselves. Instantaneously, the entire motionless object disappeared. Not by leaving slowly, or fading away; but blinking out of existence. We thought the experience was over, then no more than 2 seconds after disappearing, in the same exact patch of sky, it reappeared, but as a lonely twinkle of light that looked like just a star. Initally in this form, it was very bright, then its brightness lowered a bit. However, it was clear it was the same object, just in different form. Not only because we could sense the invisible parts of the object that we could see when it was bright red, but we remained watching it vigilantly as this "star" rotated from a Westerly facing direction, to an Easterly facing direction, and remaining at around 2000 ft AGL---couldn't have been much higher, or faster than 120knots--- it ambled in a southeast direction over farmland, until it got too small for us to follow with our eye. It sincerely felt like when we said "hello" it reacted and tried to conceal itself. I know this is conjecture, but it was an intense feeling that I must note. The sky conditions were completely clear. The moon was a bright half moon in the Northeast, and Orion was rising up out of the eastern horizon to the right of the moon from our perspective that night. From where I stood, my best guess is this object was, at the beginning of the occurrence, at least 2mi to 3mi southwest. By the time we lost sight of it as it slowly trolled away as a star, I'd guess it was 12, 15 miles to the Southeast. Ryan Montgomery

I was UFO watching again when I spotted these two blue orbs at a perfect distance apart, they were flying west to east and then more appeared after these disappeared, there were 14 in total, and two were close in proximity in the middle section of the line of ufos, also after the last ufo disappeared I spun the camera back to where I saw the UFOs originating from and then another white orb smaller in size flew directly up from where the UFOs originated from. Can not attach the video it is too large. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Possible]

I was UFO watching (I have seen more UFOs before, here at the same spot from my home.) when about 10 minutes into my UFO hunt, I spotted what looked like a fuzzy line that was appearing to dance in the sky. I pointed my camera at the line and noticed that there was about 11 orbs, vibrating in the image, they were also travelling across the sky. I took a long exposure image, 10 seconds to capture the objects, it was a success. I captured the whole 10 seconds of glory, then ran inside to get my parents, to come look at the objects, they barely made it out in time to see them over the Gulf of Mexico. I then took another 10 second exposure image of the objects, this time it was zoomed in so you can see the vibration more.

Saw what looked like a bright slow moving light. Upon magnification at 100x with my S22+ phone, it was changing shape and color. It looked like an observation pod. Then changed back to a star shape. My fiance was simultaneously watching and saw the same thing through binoculars. See video and photos.

Saw three UAP / UFO orb shaped bright lights aligned nearly vertical in sky while landing at DFW Airport. The 3 lights / orbs seemed stationary until the top orb seemed to suddenly jot to left for few seconds before disappearing near the end of my sighting. Video attached. In the video, you can clearly see some type of regular aircraft moving from right to left through the bottom of light formation. But the 3 bright orbs never moved. Once the aircraft passed through a good distance, the top orb seemed to flicker to left in sky and simply disappear from view. The orbs were 3 different colors. The bottom was a beautiful deep orange amber hue in color, the middle orb was a very light amber/ more yellow in color and the top orb was more white -incandescent color. Sighting took place while we landed at DFW and we were taxiing to the terminal. It only lasted a few minutes because I lost sight once the pilot made a sharp turn. I was sitting in front left side of airplane - so I believe the sightings were in SW (more West) direction looking outside airplane window. My husband and I both saw the lights.

I was outside viewing about 7 or so before I ran inside to grab my cell phone, it was in my room so grabbed my mothers. I filmed for 6 minutes or so, ran back inside to get my mom to witness and handed her her phone. I ran to my room and grabbed my phone because its newer so I figured it was a better camera. I sent the video to my cousin who is a sergeant in the marines and asked if these looked like drones, flares or something else military oriented. He said: "I have no clue what that could’ve been. No way it was a drone or flare with the way those were moving that’s really cool though." While sky lanterns are illegal in FL I know people will break the law so entertained these objects could be that, but in one video an orb disappears then reappears in the 6:04 video (within the first 17 seconds or so), and the lot of them move backwards. It was not breezy at all out, you can see there is no movement in the treetops. I suppose a pocket of air up high could have caused the backwards movement. Here's a Youtube link with all of the footage stitched together unedited: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwRtWfXbF2c

As the UAP rose it seemed to alter direction which caused it to straighten out in my line of sight and thus condense to a departing rear view only or it could have begun to cloak itself. Either way, it moved quickly toward the E/SE until disappearing.

I was star gazing with a friend late in the evening on September 14. The weather was clear, but with some clouds and an occasional thin haze that is common in coastal Florida drifting by. Overall the viewing conditions were good, the stars were clear and there was no moon to be seen. The area I was star gazing from has a mostly unobstructed view of the sky except for some trees to the west. There was a lot of aircraft activity that night, with a military drone doing lazy circles overhead but slightly to our west (this is not uncommon in our area as we are close to several Air Force bases and the drones are often overhead at night). The drone was easily visible by it's flashing navigation lights, and the humming sound it produces. Additional military jets were flying around, often visible but more often you can just hear the sound of the afterburners in the distance. I assume they were running some exercises that evening. We also spotted at least one commercial aircraft (assumed) flying high and along the standard east-west path they fly. Around 11:30, my friend pointed to the north and asked 'what is that?'. I focused my eye towards the area he was pointing and saw what looked initially like a thin object, sort of hazy, cloud-like in the sky heading south directly towards us. It wasn't much brighter than the few clouds drifting around but the speed it was moving immediately got my attention. The 'object' flew directly over us and I will do my best to describe what I saw: A chevron (or V shaped) object, approximately 60 degree angle between the wings/arms. The wings/arms were pretty well defined, as was the overall shape but oddly the surface looked 'cloud-like' and not solid. The 'cloud-like' surface had a slight amber tone to it, and it was lighter than the night sky- and it was either glowing slightly or reflecting light from the ground. I didn't observe any distinct lights on it. There is really no way to determine size or distance above us but it was pretty large in our field of view- if you stretch your arm out and make a V with your hand, it was bigger than that from our perspective. My best guess is it was relatively close to the ground due to the speed and detail we saw. I asked my friend to contribute his recollection and he said to him; it looked almost like individual little faint lights that made up the structure- but not uniform, random. Approximately 30 seconds later, a second identical object followed the first so we got to take a second look at what we were seeing. Neither object made any noise, although for clarity there was a degree of ambient hum from the drone flying overhead so I wanted to include that detail. We discussed whether it could have been flocks of migrating birds...but quickly ruled that out- moving way to fast and the shape was very clearly defined. Military aircraft or drone? Possible. They were flying that night. However it was the 'glowing cloud' aspect along with the apparent silence of that made us question that. The chevron shape didn't have any extra body at the juncture, like a B-2 Bomber, it was just a chevron. If it was a military aircraft they also appeared to be flying a lot lower than they would normally do.

An object travels in a straight line at a very high speed, not like an animal flying. I can only relate my impression to a bullet but I didn’t hear anyone shooting. The object came out of the woods of my backyard and traveled straight towards the front yard passing between the house and the shed at a height of 6-8 ft. I took the image on my iPhone from my tv screen and recorded it in real time and slow play. The object appears to be opaque and leaves a trace image of its trail. I’m guessing it traveled 50 feet in one second? I don’t know why the camera triggered and then happened to catch the image. The next camera in the direction it headed was not triggered to record but did capture the image of that area about 10 seconds before the moment that was recorded. The night before there was a light in the area that the object came from. [NUFORC annotation: Bird - Possible]

I was walking towards my home. I looked into the sky while watching a plane ascend. In the nearby clouds was a black sphere that looked like a black star in the clouds. I had to go in the house. Came back out and it couldn’t be seen.

Right at the above stated time, I noticed a plane flying over head heading South, south east. See flight tracker info for owner and flight information. This whit light which was about half as dim as the planes lights, and it flashed at a much slower rate. Would guess it took 1 sec to flash each time. It approached the plane from the NW closing in on the plane about at a 45 degree angle. I was thinking it was just going to cross. Then it abruptly turned to parallel the plane on the west side for 1 flash (1 second). The next time it lit up it was heading away from the plane also at a 45 degree angle towards the SW. Also 1 flash which took about 1 second. And as the plane flew away,. this light shot across half the sky heading east flashing twice with the same interval as before. It had to have covered 50 to 60 miles across the sky in 2 seconds. Every turn it took, I saw no arc in the light at all. No trail, No noise. I don't remember hearing the plane either. Quickly brought up the Flight Tracker app that I use. Found out the plane was a Cessna Citation flying at 15,000 feet descending into Orlando Executive Airport. I have attached the screen shot showing the info of the plane and flight path.

I was letting my 2 dogs out in our backyard (normal nightly routine) around 9:15pm. It was a clear evening. I was looking up at the sky while waiting and I saw 3 light spheres in a row very high in the sky moving extremely fast. The size of the spheres were very similar to the stars. Moving from the North to the South West. They stopped in the southwest direction scattered amongst each other and vanished in different directions. The timing of the sighting was around 30 seconds or so. I am still in awe of what I witnessed. I have seen the International Space Station, satellites and space junk in the sky over the years but absolutely nothing like this ever! The speed of the light spheres was incredible. I didn't have my phone.No video or photos.

I was driving due east my I looked up at the moon to admire it and saw an orange orb hovering/ flying under it. It’s was flying south west direction. It’s looked like it was on fire, 1 main orb and 3 perfectly spaced slightly smaller orbs directly underneath. It was floating southwest slowly for 30 seconds idk if it was horizontal because of my angle but it ended up higher in the sky because it was moving slightly towards me but more south, which is why it’s above the moon in the picture. Then it changed color into a blue and quick white and moved faster but not super fast, kinda like went warp speed but not very far, as it broke up into more pieces but only a small distance. It became a single orb not any color after that and went back to an idle speed . I lost track of it after that since I was driving.
