I was leaving to walk my dog when I saw what looked like a meteor by its brightness. It did not move like one but did maneuver in the sky with some speed. It was going north to south then stood stationary. It would change from bright white to orange the fade out. Then repeat. As it was faded out, it maneuvered further away when dark then reappear in another spot illuminated again. Looked like it could have been a very large drone, but it's range of travel seemed unlikely to be a personal drone. It eventually remained lit and returned to the north off into the horizon and left my sight heading towards North Shore of LI / Connecticut. I recorded 2 30 second video clips. Also this was 100% not a plane or helicopter. I had full visual of all the plane traffic in the area and they all were at the correct altitudes for arrival into JFK. This light was intense. You can see airplanes and a star in the background of the videos I took.

Spotted around 8:35 pm by my friend when moving the car into the driveway of the house. After approximately two to three minutes, all lights on the craft dimmed in sync and were no longer visible. No clouds in the sky. He called me to come outside to see what he saw. I came out and saw the craft. I went back inside the house to get a camera and when returning to the driveway, the craft was no longer visible. My friend is a huge UFO skeptic and saw the same thing and swears by it as well.

While observing the ISS passing overhead, I saw a star-like object travelling parallel to, and just north of the ISS. It was perhaps 5 degrees north of the ISS, and "pacing" it in the sky. It was pulsating in light intensity, about 6 times in the 40 seconds of observation. It's speed was about double that of the ISS. It went out of view in the northeast, as did the ISS.

I am including additional photos, to a previous post. On September 16, 2023 around 8 PM, I witnessed a short downward flash in the night sky, which turned into a pulsing sphere, that traveled across the sky in a southeast direction. The video is a bit shaky because I was going down my driveway to get a better view with my video phone, and I was able to later review in detail. I’ve enclosed the original video, and some enlarged photos from frames, which are pretty INCREDIBLE.. Aside from the changing colors, there appears to be possible rims, split shapes and something inside another photo but very faint. I hope this can be reviewed.

I was ready to leave my driveway around 8pm on Saturday September 16, 2023 and was startled to observe a short flash, very defined light burst where I looked up to the left in the dark sky, which appeared similar to a falling star but much shorter and wider, and probably a mile high. It then stopped and turned into a round bright light. I grabbed my phone, and started to video. It was spherical, like an orb, and moved steadily across the sky going south and east. It was also very high in the sky and I was able to film about two minutes on my phone camera but the video was a little shaky because I was walking down my driveway to keep filming it because it was going behind the trees, from my view. After I could no longer see it to film, I reviewed the video. The zoomed in shots are of a sphere, that changed colors, including golden yellow, light blues and light red, and one photo (if clear, looks like something sitting inside?) Definitely not a plane, lantern, or drone. I will include the video and the zoomed photos I have from screenshots of frames. I don’t know if anyone else in the area saw this, but I did call the 8th Police Precinct. The area was initially approximately 40.729 Latitude, -73.504 Longitude. Please let me know any information that may be shared. Thank you.

I was at a concert with my friend rj and we were sitting at a picnic table looking at the stats during the break. I noticed a satellite moving diagonally up to the right through the cup of the Big Dipper, then noticed one behind it at a fixed distance moving at the same speed. I assumed it was the Starlink satellite train and told rj “I think I see starlink” and pointed it out to him. He had an experience once when his friend Cody and him saw Starlink, Cody freaked out and said it was a ufo, but RJ looked up a video of Starlink and showed Cody, so RJ has seen and knows what Starlink looks like. We then watched and noticed there were three four or five dim lights following each other in a straight diagonal light. The light in the front would quickly fade our when reaching around the middle point of the cup of the Big Dipper. We noticed they were fading in in the start of the line, below the bottom left Star forming the bottom of the cup of the dipper, moving steady at a steady brightness and suddenly fading out near the center of the cup of the dipper. This went on long enough for us to have a whole conversation about what we were seeing. I would guess 90 seconds to two and a half minutes or so. I did not even get a full count of lights because you sort of needed to strain to see them, if I took my eyes off the one in the front I feared losing them. The lights were dimmer than the stars making up the Big Dipper. Near normal satellite brightness and speed. But they would seemingly disappear and reappear where they started, sort of like marquee lights. I joked with RJ “maybe it’s one big craft an those are the lights on the side” I looked in the sky along the same line that would wave been their path had they not faded out near the middle of the dipper and I saw absolutely nothing. Eventually while watching it all they lights dimmed and all faded out. We sat there looking nothing for 20 more minutes or so. We say various planes and satellites and grabbed the other’s attention for it but after 10 or 15 seconds of viewing each of those we quickly decided that it was a plane or satellite. Probably around 9:20 While looking at the big dipper a noticed what I assumed to be a bright star quickly fade away. RJ did not notice this as the light was completely stationary until disappearing. Later around 9:30-9:45 the music was back on and while dancing I caught a glimpse of a bright light wiz across the sky headed north and disappear. It is possible this could have been a shooting star, but I have seen plenty of shooting starts and this streak was much longer than any I have seen. Later after the show RJ and I sat on the back porch and continued our UFO hunt, again we say a few satellites and quickly decided they were such. I saw a few shooting stars, all in the same area of the sky all in the same direction, short dim streaks heading south. As far as a mundane explanation for the first set of lights I saw I suppose it’s possible it could be some satellite train but the more I look into that the less likely it seems. The venue had lights on the stage but they were off during set break and there was a building in between us and the stage at that point. Attached is a sketch at the lights in the Big Dipper [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Possible]

Patterson, NY
At 5:30 pm I saw a white cigar shaped object flying over head. It appeared to be around same height as other planes fly frequently over our house. It was white had a black band around middle. It made no audible sound and could not see wings or a tail. It was not far enough away that we wouldn’t be able to see these things. It moved along at around the same speed as other aircraft till it went behind trees and we lost sight. I’m sure this was not an airplane. If relative to a star or the moon it would be the moon. Could see no lights. It was in the east sky and headed north east as best I could tell.

I was about to sleep. Because my apartment is on high floor (28th) it is common to see planes flying. When I noticed this object, my first thought was that it is a star. But then I realized that it was cloudy, and this was quite big for a star. Also there were no stars on the sky (since it was cloudy.) I wasn’t going to give it much attention but then I noticed that this object had slight movement (perhaps rotation) without changing its position. I do not know how long it was there but it was long because I fell asleep. At the next day I noticed a similar object at around 10pm. [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Probable]

It was large, round and horseshoe-like. It was bright yellow with a blue tint around it with a part of it darker. It appeared out of nowhere, stopped in place for a second, then the light zoomed and was gone. There was no trail like a shooting star would have. It lit up the whole sky and made it look like Day.

I need to get a hold of someone. I have an archive of evidence from daily visitations over the past 2 years. I have learned that I am the source, because I can simply think about them and they appear, it opens an immediate channel of communication. They appear holographically mostly. I have evidence of alien species photographed in my home, dozens of aliens at a time at my front door, always accompanied by a ship, which I have hundreds of videos of them doing this, I watch the lights spin and then they open a compartment and let other beings out on smaller crafts. Who can I show this evidence too? Who can investigate this phenomena daily. A man was on skin walker ranch recently and shared his story of being able to contact aliens instantaneously and they appear... this is exactly what I do. The aliens have tried to communicate w me w encrypted methods and Artificial intelligence. They put an implant in my tongue, and left a circular laser scar on my tongue from the biopsy they took; and miraculously, this perfectly circular incision is identical to the married couple who previously lived at skin walker ranch. Their incision site is near their wrists though. I have photos to prove it. They have also lasered symbols into my tongue, and covered my whole body in symbols as well. I have photographic and video evidence of many many species of aliens. Aliens communicated w me through AI and I learned alot about how we communicate through quantum entanglement, and why they are here and what they are doing w my body. Someone help!!! I'm not supposed to do this. I give consent I also have gained psychic powers recently, and i have been visited by valient thor lol. Not kidding. I Have photographic proof. He communicated w me through AI, and would send me energy pulses when he visited. All I had to do was concentrate and call his name and he would come, using a portal in my brain he told me. And most recently, I can charge my cellphone w my body. FACTS I can prove in an instant P.S. regarding photos I attached: It would only allow 4 to upload!!! How do I possibly choose?!?!? So 1) is an alien w a large head and long limbs, that appeared behind me in my living room. 2) is a random photo from last night of my front door. Sorry if the colors are skewed. I should have attached the original. There is often a lot going on at once at my front door. Lately, this weird beige flagella looking thing has been appearing, hangs onto my door, long stretchy fibrous looking thing. To me the photo is showing a dark craft beaming light, opening, w some electrical stuff going on, idk 3) my craziest photos are of me driving. The moment I leave my house, black orb ships follow me, I film them. But I also notice a lot of different beings following me when I'm driving. I hope u can make out this pic…there is a human man outside the back of my window behind me, he appears to be smiling, and possibly has a large helmet (for habitual reasons idk). This guy visits me a lot. 4) his face enhanced

"My wife and I were on our rooftop in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, when my wife noticed a string of lights high in the sky, moving rapidly. I exclaimed, "Wow, I think that's Starlink!" I quickly reached for my Sky Guide app and opened it, but to my surprise, Starlink did not appear on the app. Just as the lights passed directly over our heads, they began to vanish one by one, disappearing into the night sky, very near the star Rastaban. Intrigued, I immediately went downstairs and checked the Starlink tracker, only to find that Starlink satellites were nowhere near this part of the planet at that time." Even though Sky Guide and the Starlink Tracker did not indicate anything, this sounds very much like Starlink. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Probable]

I often see airplanes in the sky out my window (close to major NYC airports), and I know what they look like. I was in bed looking out my window tonight when I noticed 3-4 small orange lights spanning the sky. I initially thought it was just airplanes in formation, but they kept coming from the lefthand side of my window (some from high up, some from lower), much closer in succession than airplanes should be. At one point, two even appeared to merge (or get close to it). I have lived here for a while and never seen anything like this. I took a video in which at least two actual airplanes are captured amongst these lights, and they stand in stark contrast. There is more than one blinking light, I can see the shape of the airplane silhouetted, and they follow a clear, straight, predictable path. These lights kept appearing for at least five or more minutes, gradually either blinking out or going too far away to see, and then stopped coming as quickly as they appeared. So strange!

There was a big ship shaped flying object hovering overhead. It was very loud and sounded like a drone, but bigger and louder. It had 1 or 2 white lights and 1 red light. It did not look like a plane or helicopter. It was moving very slowly in the same area for about 20 minutes, then flew away quickly. There were other what looked like smaller drones flying about as well toward the end. [NUFORC annotation: Aircraft - Probable]

Probable conventionalRome, NY
Very bright object in the shape of a cross. It does not look like it is moving, but if one was to see it an hour ago, and again now, one would see it did move up some within that time frame. It is very high in the sky, and from the ground it would be about a half inch big. I can not tell if it is making its own light, or if the light I am seeing on it is a reflection from the very bright moon we are having right now. I do not hear any noise from it. It has been in the sky for over an hour. Picture was taken from my front yard, with camera pointing north east. [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Probable]
