Brookhaven, GA
Very low flying extremely low flying object. No “wings”. Light at front and rear. Couldn’t really see object because of darkness but could see it’s shape from it being solid against a somewhat cloudy sky. What you could see was dark however at rear there was a white area. You could hear a hum of engine. Definitely not a plane unless a large cargo but no wings.

Watched a silent bright white tic-tak fly silently by at high-speed, possibly 2,000 knots, heading approximately 200° I would estimate the altitude to be 6,000 agl. The skies at the time were clear. Visibility about 50 miles. About the size of a small plane. I’m a 10,000 hour+ commercial pilot and know this wasn’t a shooting star, known military jet, commercial drone or optical illusion. The craft had well defined borders. No sonic boom.

Midland, TX
The orange ball of light was just as bright from the front, side and rear as it flew past me. I’m not a good judge of distance but it seemed to be 10K to 20k feet in the air. It looked like a fireball but travelled like a jet aircraft. I cupped my ears to make out any sound but it was silent. It never changed course or speed. It flew a little faster than an average passenger jet airplane. I watched it until it left my distance of sight. It crossed West Loop 250 and headed towards Hwy 191 and possibly over I-20.

Was looking out window towards the town lights of abbottstown . We live up on side of mountain so the city lights were down below me. I saw some strange uniform lights in the sky. Watched them for about a couple of minutes and they started moving erratically. When this happened I then got my phone and started recording them

I was sitting outside with my friend in the evening about 10 PM or so on my porch and I noticed out of the corner of my eye a pretty bright flash in the southern sky. I asked my friend if he saw that flash and he didn’t see the first one, but with in about 10 or 15 seconds, there was a bright light that appeared in the same spot, shot forward, and dimmed out. We both saw this happen. About 10 seconds or so pass, a light appears in the spot as before, flew about the same distance and dimmed out. The strangest part about it was that the light or lights, lit up in the same spot every time. It it was brighter than the satellites I’m used to seeing and moved much faster than any satellite I’ve seen. It wasn’t a string of lights , it was NOT starlink, I am sure of that because I have seen starlink several times. It was one light at a time. This same pattern went on about 15 or twenty times. Sky’s were totally clear, no cloud cover. After this activity seemed to stop , I saw that there were several different moving objects in the sky.I was looking all over and counted at least five in different directions. These objects were not aircraft ( not planes or helicopters or drones) they seemed to be much further away, smaller, dimmer and didn’t seem to be moving on a straight path. I do not know if these dim light had anything to do with the main incident I’m reporting, but i did see them immediately afterwards.

We were driving towards north to take our dogs for a walk/run just right after the sun has set. I like taking pictures while in the car and when i looked to my left side, there’s this fireball looking thing that looks like its falling from the sky. It got longer and shorter and looked like it was changing direction. I told my husband to hurry so i can take a clearer picture but when we got to our spot, it has already disappeared. It looked farther and farther until it disappeared. Not sure if its from the SD air force base cos we’re in between the dakotas. Just wanted to know for sure. Weird thing is i was just watching some alien documentaries the day before. I tried to check if anybody has seen the thing but i cant find any reports Contrail

I filmed a white comet shaped object moving very slowly in the sky. This is the 2nd time I’ve seen one. I also filmed 2 at the same time on 9/4/2022 at 8:10 pm over I-80 in Nebraska. They were a bright white light with a short tail, the end of which flickered like a flame. They appeared as though they should be moving extremely fast but we’re moving very slowly. Like a barely moving comet. There were not lights on the object. The object looked like light itself. Kinda like a white fiery comet but moved slower than a helicopter and in a straight line. I have the videos but don’t agree to give away the rights, so I won’t be attaching them at this time. I’m attaching just a picture from one of the videos, for reference. I’m hoping you know what it is and can tell me.

Santa Moinca, CA
I was outside laying down looking up to the sky. I saw many commercial airlines and a few smaller planes on their flight path of North to South. The lower ones coming into LAX. I noticed their size. Coming from the east to the west over the ocean I saw 4 white lights in the shape of a diamond directly above me. It appeared to be a bit larger than the commercial airlines but seemed so much higher up. It expanded its shape but retaining the diamond but shifted a bit then contracted back and flew towards the ocean. It was moving much faster than any plane I had seen and much faster than any plane is capable of flying. When I first saw it I instantly knew it was different than anything I had ever seen before. And I commented "What in the world is that?" My friend who could not see it said from what I described he felt it was a ufo. He had a sighting a few years back but it was just one light and its behavior was unlike any flying object of earth origin.

It did not seem to be moving but when I tired to video it would go in and out of focus. I am not sure what this is but it’s the second time in about 4 or 5 days that it’s been near my house. I took pictures and video but it seemed to disappear or vanish after about 20-25 minutes, It’s circular, bright around the circle, dark in the middle and did not make any sound.

My son and his friend were riding bikes near the local Church. My son's friend said: Look at that! It's like a big square darting around. They were really excited, and chased on their bikes, trying to a good shot and try to video. They stopped and snapped a photo then my son called me excited at 7:17 from the friends phone to report what they saw. The friend sent me a photo, and I was so shocked to see it. I asked my son to draw the movements of the craft, and asked his friend to also draw a diagram of how the craft moved. The friend also sent me a. video from his phone as well as a close up photo. I have not included the friends name or contact, but advised the parent that they will likely receive a call, possibly from Mr. Davenport, as I did today. I had called on the hotline last night and left a message. The friend recalled that it may have shifted color from dark purple to black. He doesn't think it made any sound but wasn't sure. During my questioning for this report, the friend said that a helicopter had passed overhead a couple of minutes before the sighting. It was headed west to east. As I am uploading, I see that the video type is not allowed on your site.

I woke up at 4:30 and was drawn to my balcony. I looked at the night sky and saw the object. I stared at it for a while trying to figure out what it was. I finally grabbed my phone and took photos and videos of it. I’ve never seen anything like it. It was hovering for a long time. It was spinning and the lights kept changing. The lights were unusual and would burst occasionally. The camera movements are mine as I was trying to hold still to capture the object best I could. I finally went back to bed even though it was still there. One of the photos is time lapse.

Phoenix, AZ
I am an nightshift worker that oversees the water for south mountain area of Phoenix and I happen to take an break in an dark area that is also elevated enough to oversee phoenix. I parked company vehicle facing north east and just happen to see an bunch of orange/yellow ball lights, kind of in an string but not that in line, more like an cluster, moving together quickly from what looks to be north to south at least. They look to be hovering low judging how far they’re from the ground, at least slightly above downtown Phoenix skyscraper elevation. I am unsure if it was moving above city or in the mountains and only lasted 2-3 seconds before disappearing quickly. Also the direction I looked at based on my location, I am also looking in path of airport and looks to be military base as well. Since then I haven’t seen an video or report about it.

I was outside at 2:30 AM September 6th 2022.. At approximately 2:35 AM. Looking north I witnessed What first looked like a detailed partial oval shaped object. It continuted to move from N to my position South.. The object stopped and slowly Started to turn east, The oval shaped slowly drifted like fog into a long narrow rectangle, it was well defined with a bluish white hue that encircled the entire rectangle, the bottom of that rectangle had a very pronounced blue hue glow to it more than the rest of the object. Near the top of the rectangles center were 3 very pronounced lights, but these lights seem a brighter white vs the rest of the craft, there were no colored lights... The weather was good, the sky was dark and cloudless.. The event lasted less than 2 minutes..

I was out walking my dog, like I do every night at this time, and as I was coming up on the field that we frequent, I noticed an intensely bright flash of light in the sky. It was blue, initially, and it lit up the surrounding area with a dim glow, and almost immediately, it changed to yellow and shot off, leaving the clouds a mixture of purple and red for a while. The whole thing happened in the course of maybe 5 or 6 seconds, but the sky had something of a visual residue for about 20 seconds afterward. The strangest part, however, was that the siren of a nearby police car sounded off, weakly, as though it was activated without receiving enough power, right as this whole situation occurred. And, since your form has a specific option for animal reaction, I feel it's important to note that my dog behaved much more cautiously than he usually does for the rest of our time outside, never leaving my side for more than a few moments.

At night as we were leaving our house my wife noticed an array of light almost hovering in the sky above the golf course. The lights which consisted of 4 bright lights were in a triangular formation. 3 almost in line with each other the fourth was offset. The lights were pretty high up and moving very slowly from east to west. We watched and recorded them for a bit before we drove off. We returned 10 minutes later and the lights were gone.

Noticed this as I was looking through footage from drone flying along the waterway in Burnsville. This is ocer the waterway to the right, if traveling east on Hwy 72 through Burnsville MS towards AL. I have no idea what this could be, but in the video, the shipping dock seen to the right is of the Silica Plant is Burnsville. This object 1st appears past the dock and across the water from the dock, where the shade begins, and flies as if it's shot out of the forest somehow, passes just left of my drone. Starting over a mile away and screaming by the drone all in less than one second, that's roughly over 3600 mph! I sent this video to MUFON, and sadly their baffled as well, after their investigation, they started, " I have not a clue, closing this as Unknown/other....SD/MS Sorry I couldn't help you out but the case is a high level disposition, I even looked up river for possibly anyone else that may of seen it and nothing is coming up.....I've attached my screenshots that will be put up on your report, thought you might like to see them as well........... Thanks for using Mufon Stay safe/Stay Blessed Fred" So I'm hoping that someone can tell me what this is, at least the approximate size or a corrected speed of this object.

I was driving in my car, and saw a big oval-ish shape in the sky (which appeared to be shining with a white/silver color). I could tell it was flying fast, because after about 15 seconds it looked like a star in the night sky (It was day when I saw it). After about another 15 seconds it was so far away that I could not see it. The other people in the car couldn’t tell what I was pointing at.

My boyfriend and I were flying to Orlando florida. We were approximately at 30,000 feet, somewhere over the Carolina's. When something told me to look out my window. So I opened up the window cover and I saw a huge cigar shaped craft, it looked dark greyish, to almost black. It was traveling right next to the plane on the left side. Which means it was over the ocean coast. But moving right along the side of the plane for about 3-4 minutes. i would estimate it was about a half a mile to a mile away. My boyfriend and I both saw it and filmed it with my cell phone. It then went behind the wing of the plane before it just disappeared.What was strange was I was all excited speaking loudly saying to my Boyfriend look a UFO, jumping around in my seat. And no one around us even budged. They were just sitting there staring ahead. No one looked at me or said what do you see. It was almost like they were in a trance. Almost like it was meant just for us to see. I just need to say also, I had been meditating doing the CE5 asking to see a UFO. So it kinda freaked me out that it actually finally worked. The video I took isn't all that great, cause it happened so fast.
