Fredericksburg, VA
I was moving SOutheast on Princess Anne Street in Fredericksburg near the train station, and high in the sky I saw a very bright light that was moving from right to left, but the light was pointing to the right. The light was very very bright, pointing to the right, but it also had a large cone of light associated with it- Like a giant comet or something in the sky- It really reminded me of pictures of a comet, where there is a huge tail of debris, but there was a bright light pointing backwards as it flew- It was not like any airplane I had ever seen.

driving home and see a very bright light gliding across the sky, looks like it’s shining a large light, with streaks, something like you would expect to see with cloudy weather but sky completely clear. looks like a comet trails but silver light. we have video

Big light almost like it was searching for a missing person over the town. Went super super fast in the end it couldn’t have been a helicopter or plane

Bright ball of white light followed by a trail of light. It moved south to north, observed for about 2.5 minutes before the the trail of light faded and then the ball disappeared seconds after the trail of light went out.

I was able to photograph and video tape an object I thought might be a comment; however, instead aid breaking up like a meteorite does or satellite debris does and simply vanishes. I have seen meteorites enter the atmosphere during the Pleiades and satellite debris come in and break up over the area, and I kinda has a firework like appearance, as it breaks up the simply vanishes

Was leaving shopping center with my brother and saw objects in sky for less than a minute when it disappeared. Sky was clear, no clouds around. Very bright

Townsend, MA
A small circular light traveling through the sky was seen by 2 witnesses and captured on video. The light was followed by a large exhaust type trail that was also illuminated. The trail remained in the sky, in the exact shape of the light, for about a minute. The wide trail eventually disappeared, but using the zoom on the video, the original small light can be seen traveling along.

I noticed a fabulous bright wedge of light—almost like a search light—emitting from a single flying object which made no detectable noise. The craft seemed to hover and then speed forward, leaving behind a plume of light which seemed separate from the craft.

Around 7:40pm on Saturday night 9/24/22, I went to close the blinds in my room and witnessed a strange moving light in the sky. Not a plane, as there was a plane in sight too, going a different direction, but this looked very different. This was only one prick of unblinking light moving in a straight across the sky right to left as I looked from my window (Eastbound). The pinpoint of light had a thick v-shaped very bright white light beaming out behind it. I had my dad get up to look at kitchen window then we ran to the backyard to see. There was no sound coming from it. We watched it as it was for a few moments continuing straight and relatively fast on its path, then all of a sudden the light beam seemed to detach from the craft and was left behind hanging in the sky as the prick of light continued on. Within a few moments, the prick of light wasn’t visible at all and as the light beam faded too, it was like it was never there – nowhere to be seen. My dad and I were flabbergasted and agreed that it was very odd, especially the way the light suddenly detached from the craft itself and was left paused in the sky while the craft continued on, only to fade out some moments later along with the visual of the craft itself. Very strange and notable – my dad and I had never seen anything at all like it. Both of us have a familiarity and somewhat casual academic interest in UFOs, and could not identify it as anything UFO or non-UFO that we are familiar with in the sky. Could not obtain any video footage as neither my dad or I have a smartphone.

The sky lit up in the southern horizon and it looked like a airplane/aircraft ( could not see properly) with a very bright cone of light in the rear. The aircraft/airplane was travelling from west to east No airplane noise or engine noise .. the flash of light just disappeared after about 33 seconds. me and my son saw it and my son recorded a video on his phone. We are not sure what it was but would like to know the source. I have the original video with the exact time stamp etc..

At first it appeared to be falling from the sky at an enormous speed. Then it suddenly stopped & the Light object was moving like no human aircraft. Short quick movements. Then it just disappeared after a while

Shortly after pulling onto Main Street I looked up to see a bright light at first I thought it looked like possibly a helicopter with it’s search light on and it was moving pretty fast from right to left. After pulling onto Horton Avenue I realized this was to high up to be a helicopter with a search light on. The craft was still moving right to left and the light was on the right so on the back. The light was extremely bright for how high up it was, I’d say it had to be as high as a normal passenger plane would fly. The light shinning in back which was a white light looked dusty. After pulling onto Horton Ave and watching it for another 15-30secs the light turned off (it did not fad out) but you could still see the craft moving and it looked like it was leaving a dust behind. It moved quickly behind the tree line and that’s it. The object was not over head but maybe a few miles away, where I was looking it was towards the Cheshire/Hamden line but it’s hard to decipher how far it was from my location. But it was bright and large enough to see where I was. This did not look like a shooting star, green fire ball or comet. This was a craft of some kind.

The sky was clear. Stars were out. No sound was present as the light moved across the sky. I have attached a video that I filmed a few seconds after realizing this was not a meteor plane or other flying device. It was above a soy field adjacent to our property and slowly moved to above our one acre pond before if just dissolved. There was never a sound. Some people think it may be a space x satellite when my son posted it to TikTok last night where 20k people viewed it. We’d never seen anything like this so please confirm what it could have been.

After parking and stepping out of my car I looked up and saw a noticeably bright star, probably Venus or another planet. This was early night with no stars really visible yet. Flying in view just under and to the right of the star/planet was a moving light dot of similar size a viewed. Flying right to left steady like a plane (which it may have been, I'll get to that). It caught my eye because coming out presumably the back of the craft was solid streams of light that dissipated after not long, but extended up and back I would estimate 10-20 craft/dot lengths. After watching for maybe 10-15 seconds the streams stopped and the craft continued. I would say it appeared close and steady like the ISS which i have seen several times, but seemed faster than I recall the ISS being, so possibly closer. My guess is that this was a plane doing a routine fuel dump. But would the fuel reflect light, the streams were bright white like stars and planes look in the night sky. I hate that I didn't get a video, but did get a picture at least, but a good one.

My family was driving home on a busy highway and saw an extremely bright light about a thousand feet in the air . The light was at a complete stand still - there was no movement. The light had a yellowish tint to it . It was a single beam shining downwards towards the ground . We did not hear any aircraft noises nor did we see other lights . We started filming the bright object on our phone and then all of a sudden, the light just switched off and the object disappeared .

Round bright light heads over nj coast. Light was projected pointing down and perpendicular to the movement of the object but wider and “rounder” than a spotlight. Very slow moving with a wide wake behind it that spread out quickly.

I was riding back from eating at a restaurant with my dad and step mom and i was looking out the window when i suddenly saw an object in the sky with a light on that was like a flashlight. They were really high up and the lights were on for a couple of minutes. We were in a country setting with lots of land and the object in the sky was an egg shape.
