I actually didn't see the object until I went back and looked at my pictures. I tried to zoom in on my picture to get a clearer view but don't have the equipment to do such a thing.

A silver, metallic, cigar shaped craft appeared coming steadily from the south in the southern sky. It was flashing lights or rotating and catching the sun. I took it to be an airplane since it was silver, oblong & flashing lights. This was Sunday 9/25/22 about 6:10pm. I feel like it ‘noticed’ me. It slowed down to hover directly over my house. Numerous small red & blue ‘satellite’ lights appeared around it. First 8, then 10, 11, finally 12. At first they were moving around the main, large light like fire ants coming out of their disturbed nest. Some appeared to hover in a line, while others formed a V with 3 or 4 lights. They kind of were steady lights like stars in the night sky, yet twinkling in the daytime sky. I wondered if they were forming constellations. Meanwhile, the silver craft was either rotating & catching the sun because it seemed to flash light at me. Sometimes, the main light appeared round and sometimes cigar shaped. While it hovered, a white airplane seemed to fly over it and veer away to the east. That plane seemed like it was slightly higher elevation than the main light. Shortly after, another Southwest plane at much lower altitude passed nearby on its way to Hobby Airport. The ‘satellites’ seemed to ‘lose interest’ and move southward. Then the main craft also started moving slowly south again. Slowly and with continuous flashing/ spinning it went back south and seemed to gain altitude. While observing both the main lights & satellites, they appeared to have a ‘halo’ of lighter blue against the sky’s blue. This is the second time I saw the silver flash of light that seemed to hover. The first time was probably Thursday 9/22/22 about 11:15am. Again, a silver pinpoint object very high up was either shining a light or catching the sun. I thought it might be a plane, but it seemed to move strangely; it had been moving steadily westward in the western sky without contrails. It seemed to slow down then stop. When I got up to grab my phone, I lost sight of it. Like today, the craft seemed to slow down & hover when I noticed it. I have videos that are probably too large to upload. I was swimming both times.

It was Tic-toc shaped, transparent / glowing white, traveling between + or -, 500 to 1000 mph. from north to south in direction. It was directly overhead when I first saw it, and moving very fast. It disappeared into clear blue sky after about 15 seconds. There were no clouds in the area. I pointed it out to my wife, who saw it and we both concurred on what we had just seen. My sister-in-law witnessed it also, but only as a blur before it vanished. It resembled the tic-toc videos as seen on tv, and it moved the same way, very quickly.

My living window is 16 floors up in Northern Virginia with unencumbered views all the way into Maryland. As the crow flies I am 2-3 miles from Reagan National Airport and see tons of airplanes flying through the sky daily. I am familiar with the expected trajectory, speed, and duration of visibility simply through observation. Whatever this was, it was not flying like anything I had seen before. In addition to circling above while moving west to east, the "craft" itself was rotating and flying very, very fast. The planes I see out my window always fly away from Northern Virginia. This one flew right over head and then disappeared. When I first saw it, I thought through all possible alternatives before settling on "UFO", and I'm not sure I'm saying I think it was for sure. I thought very large bird? (because of the circling). Marine One coming in for a landing at DCA?

I stood up and started to see oval lights swirling above me shooting in every direction moving with no restriction I was in shock they vanished I stood there for approximately 10 minutes in shock and as the shock was starting to wear off they appeared again and I was shocked again but I called for my step father who I had just previously told what I’d seen and when they appeared again he was there to see it longer then my clip shows because I was in shock again at first but I snapped out of it and grabbed my phone…this video doesn’t do justice what I seen before this but it proves i wasn’t crazy the first time I am visibly shaken at the moment and still in a state of disbelief but I know believe more than ever this is honesty the second time I’ve seen something but first report I ever filed I don’t usually do this type of thing but I’m in shock

Between 9:30 to 10:00 pm on Saturday, September 24, 2023, ((sic. 2022) I had just sat in my lawn chair and was looking at the stars (facing west) when something caught my attention from the north. Initially I thought it was a swarm of gnats in the air and looked in that direction, but as it passed out of view behind a small tree and came back into view, I was shocked to see a thin V or boomerang shaped plane passing by. I could hear the sound of the wind as it glided past. This is a sound I've heard several times in my life such as geese landing, or other birds gliding or in some instances a large kite flying. The craft was low to the ground, maybe 200 to 300 feet from the ground (about the same height as many of our wind turbines in the area, or about the same height as many planes I've witnessed landing). There are several trees in my yard and my neighbors, leaving only a small portion of the yard where I was able to view the entire thing, but I could still see it through the trees or at least portions of it. There was no lights and no engine noise, the wings were very thin and dark colored. An airstrip about 20 miles from me often flies the gliders that are towed behind planes with thin or narrow wings. That is the best description I can give size of the wings. As far as the overall size, I later helled my cell phone out in front of me at arms length from my face and in the same vicinity as the craft. I estimated the craft was the width, wing tip to wing tip, of two of my cell phones end to end. Maybe someone smarter than me can do some math calculations to come up with an estimate. But my estimate would be the size of a passenger jet airliner. Even though it was night time, where I live at that time of night you can still clearly see the outline of the trees and clouds against the sky. Especially if there is any moonlight. In addition I believe I could see the town lights reflecting on the belly side of the craft. I was in shock initially and began to text someone I know that's familiar with military aircraft about it. Cannon Airforce base (Clovis, NM) is located 50 miles North West. A year prior one of their drone pilots lived in our town. For a long time, I've assumed what I saw was a undisclosed military drone that was flying to our small air strip, which happens to be located less than a mile south of my house. I wonder if I had thought of it sooner and drove to the airstrip if I would have witnessed people there. I don't know what I saw and don't assume that it was anything other than a military drone or glider. I'm always looking online to see if I can find an image of what I saw but am always navigated to sites like this one when I do find a similar image. The only exception to a couple of small (less than 10 foot) drones. I've attached a picture of a drone from a 2017 article, but I know that's not the correct craft. What I saw was much larger than the one spoken about in the article. It's just the closest image shape I can find as to what I saw. It bothers me that I can't find anything related to a military craft like what I saw. I'm hopeful someone can help me identify it. I really don't want this to get out to the public in any way. Other than my wife and friend, I've never told anyone about this. People will think I'm crazy and I don't want my community to look at us weird. I am willing to talk with anyone, just ask that my occupation and name left out of any reports. I retired last year after 20 years in law enforcement, 15 as a detective. I currently hold a prestigious job and any scrutiny would be bad for me.

We were on our back deck. clear skies. What looked like a group of 7 lights in a triangular shape appeared from the west heading east. It lingered for at least 5-6 mins. I tried to take a video but it was too dark and grainy. The lights got bright one at a time through the triangle....then, it just vanished. No clouds were present to shroud it. We saw something similar to this in 2020. It definitely did not look like starlink - which - all the videos I have viewed before filing this report - were all in a straight line....this was completely different. Would just like to know if, in fact, this was reported by anyone else in the area of Seattle or just southeast of Seattle where we are in Renton , WA. Thank you.

So it was about 9:45 p.m. around the date of September 24th 2022. I was driving home from work I was on Swift run road I go that way all the time and out my windshield to the right of me I suddenly saw this Orange lighted thing at a diagonal and I immediately was like what the f is that all excited. I was going to pull over but my cell phone had died literally a minute before I saw it my phone battery was very low when I left from work about 10 minutes before that so I wouldn't count that as it drained my battery anyway I'm driving checking my reflections to make sure it wasn't something in my vehicle making these lights and it wasn't so I'm watching this thing as I'm driving and it's getting closer and closer and I passed almost under it and there it went behind a cloud as I passed it by then it was on my left and I could have sworn that I saw a faint Chrome reflection around the lights. Meanwhile because I can't use my phone or call anybody I'm screaming oh my God what is this oh my Lord I was going crazy I only saw it for at least 3 minutes but when I got really close to it it was huge I can't even say how big but it had started off from my perspective from the vehicle about 3 inches in size from a distance. When it was almost directly above me it was at least two school buses long from my perspective. After it went behind the clouds I flew home cuz I wanted to get everybody back in the car and see if it was still there so we did but by that time it had been 15 minutes and I didn't see it again.I'm just reporting it now because I thought about it again. I did just look at the home page of your site and I do not believe that it was a star link satellite chain because they were closer together and orange and I detected a faint glow of Chrome pictures attached.

We were outside partying and I pointed out the strange lights in the sky. there were 4 lights in a row, and one was off center. They moved in a weird snake-like way, up and down and in a southwestern direction. I pointed them out, and 2 other people at the party saw what I pointed at, while other didn't despite looking where I was pointing. One person moved to follow the movement as it passed over my house, I did not. I felt, more than saw, but it felt like there was something invisible spinning around those lights. I know that is strange, but I very much got the impression that the 4 lights were one side of the craft and the off center light was where the craft arched, or bent, and the light was passing through an invisible disc. The people who saw it agreed it was strange, and thought the movement was very odd. Suggestions of Space X and Starlink don't make much sense when compared to what I saw, but I suppose it isn't out of the question. It was low in the sky, in relation to the building across the street from me, we weren't looking directly up, it was on the horizon. One of the people that saw it suggested it might have been a drone, but I didn't hear any noise from it, but we were at a party with music and about 10 people.

9:30 going to store, pulled up to stop sign and saw lights, at first thought it was star link but the lights where not moving . I backed up to my house and called for my wife to come look. It was clear every where except below the lights as the lights started to go out one at a time the cloud started to disipate, lights gone cloud gone that was crazy. My wife and 35 year old son saw the same thing, I was checking out a local new thing we have called Skagit breaking and other people saw this also. Don't know what it was but I do know it was not star link. Thank you

Sitting on front porch with 3 family members, simultaneously we noticed a cigar-box (rectangular) shaped aircraft in the eastern sky. Uniformly lit down the side with white lights and moving slowly north. It maintained a steady course and speed, then seemed to fade away after a couple of minutes. We were not able to capture video or photo, but it was the same craft as reported on 09/05/22 in Foley, AL.

I am a bus driver for people with disabilities and I was dropping off a client and as I was leaving I saw a row of people with their phones out so I parked my bus around the corner from them and went to look at what everyone else was looking at. It was something I never saw before ... it was a large disk in the sky with good size equally separated lights moving in a circular motion. I took pictures and recorded the incident as fast as I could and in a seconds time it was gone. It didn't move in any direction, it just disappeared. I kept looking for the rest of the night and noticed one thing. Since the area is close to our main airport SEA-TAC there is usually a lot of planes coming and going in the area I saw this thing but not when I witnessed the craft and no planes went in the area after the craft was gone. It looked like the planes were going around the area. I thought that was very weird. There were some light clouds in the sky that night but after it disappeared the sky was clear and I thought that was weird also. I have video clips but it says the files are too large to send them.

After seeing Space X in the sky, we then saw something in the sky. Thought it was a drone, a star, or the cost guard or state trooper searching for someone but it wasn’t like that. The way the thing I saw moved, it didn’t appear to be a drone or anything I’ve ever seen. I tried to come up with what it could be, but I was dumbfounded. My oldest who has autism is obsessed with anything space so we’re always looking up. When I saw this, I went to investigate it and I really never seen anything like this. I even saw a white beam coming from it (after I saw Space X launch.) I had my camera on still so no one was moving the camera while I filmed it.

Never have seen anything like this. Large white, unblinking, non flashing light spherical. A little bigger than Jupiter visible in sky tonight. The light had a fan like spray of light training behind it as it moved from west to east horizontally. Lasted about 30-45 seconds. Then the tail spray disappeared first, then a couple seconds later the white main body of light disappeared. Totally clear skies tonight, no clouds in the sky.

It looked like a search light from a helicopter. It was bright white. It was near the highway, maybe 150-200 feet in the air. I thought it was a helicopter at first but it did nor have any navigation lights. It also was not moving at anytime we saw it. It was not pointed in a general direction, there was no structures underneath it. I have no idea what it was.

Object streaked across night sky over the Atlantic Ocean coast south to north. Approx 50 degrees high off the horizon. Night Sky was clear with stars visible.approx time was between 7:30-8:00pm It was not the visible planet that was stationary. Was not an aircraft profile. Nor it had anything to do with the fireworks display scheduled to go off hours later. Object was round and bright. No color. A pyramid shape white fog type trail discharged following in back of object spreading out in a cone shape discharge for many miles. It did not have an irregular flight path. Object suddenly disappeared along with any trailing discharge. Me and my wife, among many others, were sitting on chairs watching a free concert at Centennial park WildwoodCrest nj.

I witnessed alone a bright light coming from behind the tree line which slowly moved away from the tree line uncovering a bright white triangle shaped light trail. The object moved very slowly and silently through the night sky. Things within the environment became very quiet. I proceeded to take photos and video of the object. At first I thought it was a shooting star but then quickly realized it was too close and moved to slowly.
