I noticed a bright light in the southwest sky. At first I didn’t think it was moving but it was getting closer. I continue to watch it and I noticed that it was moving toward me it was low in the sky it did not make any noise and it did not have any blinking lights. I had binoculars hanging by my front door so I went in and got them came back out looked at it through the binoculars. As it was going directly over me I went in and said come look at this. His response was the same as mine It moved forward very weird. As it went over it would look as if it wasn’t moving but it was. Had a very strange forward movement. We watched it til it was gone and it never changed course. It was a very clear night could see all the stars all the lights in the house were off and I don’t live by any roads so it’s very quiet.

Standing in my back yard , I noticed a red/silver light well above the trees facing wnw. I first thought it an airplane. However it periodically moved very fast and in a very erratic manner all over the sky. I watched it for over 10 minutes. It flickered from red to bright white as it moved. No sounds at all. It occasionally dipped out of sight below the trees but came back very fast. I am an amateur astronaut. Definitely not Venus or a star. It moves way too much and way too fast. It disappeared almost instantly

Just bought grocery and it was a quiet night with the bright jupiter on the east, so I scan above to check if Saturn is somewhere near and I saw two stars, but then one star started moving, and I grab my phone and starts recording, as i am recording I see the lights moving slowly and silently and then took off in hyperspeed, no sound. upon reviewing my recorded video, it turns out that one light is part of the other 2 dimly lit light that formed a triangle.

Ball of light very dimly moving in a zig zag pattern almost and would seam to slow down and jump across the sky, after a minute of watching this ball of light it glew brighter for 4 seconds then dimmed back out as it cross the sky and finally disappeared to nothing. 20 minutes later same thing was spotted but there were two dim lights and they seemed to be following the same pattern.

My husband and I saw a stationary bright green light flashing (inconsistently) high up in the sky. We saw a few planes fly by from multiple directions, so we know it wasn't a plane since it was not moving. After about 10 minutes, it dropped down past where we could see but so fast that it should have crashed. It dropped faster than if it just fell from the sky, it seemed controlled rather than a fall.

I was driving down broad st home & noticed a large craft unmoving in the sky. It was lower than all the planes at the local airport & had no blinking lights. Just two massive ones on each side. It was pointing at me. The sky is perfectly clear. What was astonishing was that I parked my car & got out to see it & I watched it slowly disappear from one side of the craft to the other & then I saw several smaller orbs jet across the sky. This is only one of of a few. I swear there is local activity in the Delaware river. Unfortunately it disappeared as I pulled my camera out

The craft was not a helicopter or airplane as I checked a app on my phone that specifically shows a radar of all aircraft in the area. Whatever this thing was did not show up on Flight radar 24 app. As the light moved across my neighbors farm field I shined a flashing light at it and the light the ufo was emitting disappeared and it was no longer seen. I did take a video of the craft although it’s not very good quality and mute volume because I yell in one part of it because I was stunned at what I was seeing. I Also edited the video green so you can see the light emitted from the ufo better.

Between Tower and Ely, MN, MN
I had gotten off from work in Mpls at noon to surprise my mother with a weekend visit who was at her cabin outside of Ely, MN on Burntside Lake. I had made great time. It was fall and getting dark early. I was driving my el camino (about 70 mph) and looked at the clock. It said 2:22. I thought to myself, I only have an hour and a half and I'll be at mom's and it will still be light out. Immediately after thinking that I noticed a very bright light in back of me - about 1/4 mile behind me. I thought it had to be a motorcycle. 5 seconds later it had cut the distance in half. I thought it'll pass me, so I sped up. I was approaching a curve and it's a single lane road and I wanted to be around the curve before it tried to pass me. There was a deep ditch on my right and ledge rock/granite 12'-15' outcropping. I glanced in my rearview mirror - now the bright light was right on my tail. Just seconds had passed. The light was so bright I could not see what was behind it or to either side of my vehicle. I remember the noise of the radio and the announcer saying it was 2:23 and the news would be on shortly. The next thing I knew, I was in my el camino, still going 70 mph, at the exact same spot ONLY IT WAS DARK OUTSIDE. The radio announcer said it was 4:30 and the news would be on in 30 at 5. I looked in the rearview mirror and there was nothing behind me and nothing in front of me. Nothing had passed me. Not one thing had changed except the "vehicle" behind me was gone, it was now total darkness, and I wasn't going to make my mothers in daylight. I have no idea what happened. I felt fine, but weird. I was not hurt. I was not tired or sore. I was not sleepy. Just weird - like wtf just happened. I have no idea where the time went. I know I did not pull off the road for 2 hours. I had not done drugs. I remember every thing up to and after that 2+ hour time frame. I just knew something strange had happened. I also knew I had not been in danger. The next incident a couple years later, I was coming home in the winter. My husband and I had moved to Ely on Burntside Lake. I had been to a quilt club meeting. On my way home, about 8:30pm, in the winter so it was pitch black out, I came to a part on the gravel road next to the Lake. The moon was full and on the east side of the lake. It was beautiful so I stopped in the middle of the road. All of a sudden, between the moon and my car, up in the sky were a series of lights. A series of 8, one at a time, right after each other, repeating over and over as it travelled across the sky. I could see nothing except the lights, so I couldn't tell the shape or the size of the object. The repetition of the lights did NOT reflect on the water of the lake - I noticed this because the moon DID reflect on the lake. I stopped watching and went home. I still live here. Sometimes I feel like I am being watched - not often - more like something is checking up..............probably my imagination. The remainder of the "Characteristics" and "Close Encounter" only applies to my first encounter.

Went outside to walk the dog and noticed a bright white orb toward the west to the right of the moon. I then walked east to walk my dog and then when I walked home I looked up and got nervous cause it seemed to come closer to me. I then put the dog I. The house and grabbed my phone. I went outside and did a full zoom and started recording video. It was moving around like a ping pong ball on the camera and it was blurry around the sides. At one point I lost it and pointed the camera down and then back up and the object grew in size and became translucent. I then zoomed back and it was a different distance away and it was changing shape into an an amoeba and it was ping pinging around. I then stopped the video and saw a blue fire field around where the object was. I grab inside and grabbed my wife outside and she couldn’t see the orb with her eyes and it was still clearly visible to me. However she could still see it in on the video. I will attach that video as well. Please note that if you view these videos on the iPhone you can zoom in further. At theend of the first video you can hear what sound Las like military jets though there is no visual on them in the video. Lastly i haven’t seen an orb like this since march and it was east over the park. I have no video but I have a picture. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Trying to get son back to sleep at approximately 4:30am on 9/13. I was already 1 cup of coffee awake. We have windows in our cathedral family room with nice views of the night sky looking east. I often admire the night sky and haven’t noticed anything like this. Noticed sphere good size with oscillation light which appeared to rotate around sphere. Sphere appears bright white with specks of blueish and reddish flickers oscillating around the sphere. Assumed initially a star but continued to observe. Sphere appeared fixed for good amount of time approx. 10 minutes then slight movement southeast before completely vanishing from my fixed view. Captured picture and video of sphere. Also downloaded multiple Star and planet aps which I couldn’t make sense of the object in reference to aps. Doesn’t appear to be Starlink since it was only 1 sphere in sky which appeared much larger then other visible stars. Other visible stars could still be scene after the sphere disappeared. We do have a flight path over our home/area to DFW. Did not see any incoming planes while noticing sphere. Object was spotted going southeast of home where object could be scene and I assume it continued the southeast in direction. Picture was taken 4:37am and video at 4:38am. Both are not edited. Video noise in background is ceiling fan chain hitting the operating ceiling fan. I don’t know what I saw. Simply want to report to your agency since we are near flight path to DFW and for any national security purposes.

I was walking to the gym early on 9/13/22 at 4:45 am and I noticed a bright light in the sky to the north. It appeared to be near Nellis AFB but I could be wrong. It was orange and pulsing and it remained stationary for 8-10 minutes. No sound was heard coming from it. The light kept pulsing for about 10 minutes and then it suddenly turned into 4 small blinking lights in a box pattern and began to very slowly move to the west. I also saw the same object a day or two later at the same time of day and same location.

There were 3 objects in the shape of a triangle and generally stayed still and then the 2 on the bottom of the triangle would move outwards and inwards in a perfectly straight line. The one on top was almost completely still but would sometimes move a little bit up or down but only in a straight vertical motion like it was driving forwards and reversing. There was one outside of the triangle that circled around it a couple times and would go around the sky. I couldn't get a picture of it because it suddenly vanished like it turned invisible. None of these objects move liked planes they didn't circle around to reverse or move forward. They were these hazy white lights that would blink but not completely just dim. The haze around the object didn't dim when the light would dim it stayed the same. They were too far out to tell the shape. The first thing I did when I saw them was pull up nearest airplanes but there weren't any in the northwest direction it was in. They left no trails in the sky when they moved. The man on the hotline told me to download an astronomy app but the 3 objects were inbetween the 2 constellations it pulled up and it didn't register anything in the space it was in. I have no idea what I saw and I don't believe in UFO's. When I pointed my compass at it it said 341 N but it was a couple points more west like 1 or 2. My location was 40*3'50" N 79*53'37" W 880 ft elevation. I do not want anyone to know I'm affilated with this because I don't believe in this stuff and don't want to look like a crazy conspiracy theorist and have it affect getting a job. I want to pretend like I didn't see it.

was called over to window by my dad who was not in mood for talking and was falling asleep late in a work site cabin of him and i. forested in, barely any folk that live near, over the lake i see a bullet shaped glow hovering in the night sky with white rays increasing in size trailing, beaming outward. HUGE GLOWING STREAKS ACROSS ENTIRE SKY TOWARD THE BACK. Bullet/triangle thing moves considerably and so smooth for aircraft and then boom disappears. All the light that at this point covered half the entire sky just disappeared.

We could see details of a ship like the clear shape and size of one ship moving incredibly fast. Moved across the sky very low to the ground when it disappeared behind a tree line completely silent. The ship was gray, very well illuminated so the ship could be clearly seen. It was very slightly foggy out that gave the ship a haze, but could still see details of the large ship.

This entire summer that starts at approx. 2130-2230, there is several lights in the sky that look like stars, but they are much closer than stars. There are also several ones that have red, green, and blue lights. I always noticed them, and nothing happened, I thought they were drones. One night approx. 2 weeks ago around 0400 in the morning, I saw 2 lights that were flashing red, green and blue, and I shined a Streamlight flashlight in that direction. Once I did that a bright light dashed from the back of my house to the front and once it got to the front it dimmed the glow and hovered. Since then there has been several lights that fit this description. They next event with these lights was I was in my backyard looking up East in the night sky then from the North 2 lights came within several feet of me and I ran back in my house. They have been getting closer lately. They start at a higher distance and would get a closer distance when I would look up. First, they would stay at a certain height, but since the night one friend came over and I was pointing certain ones out, if he couldn’t tell which on I was pointing out I would shine a flashlight at it. Well when I did that the light was shorten the distance between be and them. Now they immediately get closer when I am outside. Even if I am not at my house, they will appear around me. This does not matter where I go this happens anywhere, I am going like; to the Fire Station, to a friend’s house, my grandma’s house or even to the store. They will follow me as I drive from point A to point B and back to my house. They use to follow at a distance but now it seems they follow at a closer distance. Even while in the city, like in Aurora, I will notice they are hovering somewhat close. The last few nights it will start out only with the brightest star and a couple of others visible. Once looking up in the night sky, they all start to appear and close the distance to the original height above me to extremely close. Another thing that happens is before going outside and looking up in the night sky my house is quiet, only the noise of my dogs, the TV, notifications from my phone, and basically typical noises from a quite residence. Noises from my dogs would include them in and out of the dog door, (not very often and they are relaxed at this time of the night). They rarely bark or jump and play inside the house at night. Other noises in my house would include the window AC unit, the TV and cars slowly driving by outside in the cul-de-sac. The located of my house is in a very quiet and relaxed subdivision. Which the statement about the noises is because once I see these lights in the sky, once I hurry back in my house, I now hear different noises. So, one very distinct noise that is faint, an I guess you can say like air passing through a vent. And then also, kind of like a very faint sound like something like Morse code. These lights do not dash away, do not try to hide, they may dim in brightness but never fully disappear. This happens every single night and starts at approx. between 2130 and 2230 and finally stops when it is light out. This seems to be only around my house. I have several questions about all this. What are these lights? Why do they follow me? Why is it anywhere I go? Did I do something wrong an upset whatever whoever it is? Is this something human controlling this, like a drone? Are they drones? There is to many for one or two persons to be flying them. I guarantee if someone would come to my house, you will see all that I am explaining. I would be so happy and appreciative of this if someone did come out, as I feel very uneasy at my own house! I just want all this explained.

I'm using my phone I don't have word processor. Three of us were outside getting ready to fish, it was dark. I was looking at the stars and seen a shooting star. I yelled for my friends to look and grabbed my phone to video it. I think the whole thing was about a minute from start till I said I lost it. I couldn't find the shooting star with my phone, and kept looking and I pulled my phone away once. Thought I didn't get anything. So I was going to delete the video and thought I'd check it before deleting it why I don't know. That's when I seen 2 white lights then it turned almost like whatever it was. Was round because then there was a red light with the 2 lights. I can't describe how it loomed,, another white light showed and in the video the lights were closer than it should have been in my video. Then it went away to the left in my video fast. It was not a plane or helicopter. The reason it's taken me this long is because I didn't know who to contact without thinking we were all crazy amd try and tell us what I seen was something else. I believe there is life out there but never believed in ufo's and what I seen.

I was taking back to back photos of the clouds using my son’s iPhone. The evening light was very pretty and I wanted to get the perfect shot so I took several photos. When I went back over them I saw one picture with two objects that looked as though they were entering the atmosphere side by side. They looked similar to comets with tails and you can see where the front of them almost looks like a fireball, but they are a bright greenish color.
