Friday harbor, WA
I often use my iPhone to follow high altitude jets that reflect the sun a just the right angle. This video I witnessed for a brief moment a light appear behind the south bound jet. It moved erratically and very fast, then vanished. This was not a reflection nor lens flair. Just something I can not identify other the a UFO.

On September 5, 2022 my mother was at the beach. She took several photos like she always does. While going through the photos today she noticed that people in one were all looking up. Being the space coast she thought she caught a rocket going up. When she moved the picture over in that direction she did not see a rocket, it is an unidentified round metallic object they were looking at. I’m sending the photo because after inspecting it I and others can’t ID what it is.

Satsuma, FL
I am an early riser and as I do most clear mornings I was outside watching the sky for meteors, satellites, and rocket bodies. I have an app (SkyView) on my phone which identifies around 50% of what I see. The sky was starting to lighten up so I was getting ready to go inside when I spotted what I first thought was a contrail forming off to the north. Then I realized that the size was not changing as it moved across the sky getting closer. As it started to cross in front of me I was caught off guard by its cylindrical shape with a stainless steel kind of exterior and no sound. Not expecting what I was seeing I only had my phone to snap a couple pictures. Starlink

Around 6:12 a.m. I got up to shut off lights in kitchen and looked out sliding glass door , noticed a cigar shaped object over the Casper mountain range, it was a glowing cigar shape I was shocked by seeing it and decided to go wake my husband, he got up and saw it as well. We watched it for another min or so until it was out of our sight.

Lees Summit, MO
Straight line of lights, saw windows admitting lights. Object moving from west toward the east. Hard to tell the speed of object for it was dark. Was able to observe it for 5 or so minutes as it moved across the night sky. First thought it was a jet admitting contrail, but the length of the trail remand same. It went across the sky about the speed of a jet liner, but with no running lights and made no noise. Since we saw the windows admitting light I would think it wasn't that high up in the sky. Likeley Starlink satellites

Foley, AL
I was outside with my dog at 5:13 a.m., and when I looked up at the sky to see the stars I saw a zipper shape of lights to the east. I was looking towards the golf course, east of Foley, Alabama. I took a photo because of how peculiar it looked. It was not moving at all. After a few minutes it simply faded away. I thought perhaps a cloud moved over it, only the sky was black with many stars, so don’t believe a cloud covered it. The photo I’m attaching was zoomed in and the flash came on.

Gardnerville, NV
Our home’s air conditioning had recently broken and our area was suffering a heat wave. To stay comfortable at night we took to sleeping in our new travel trailer who’s air conditioning worked great. Since we were on a long waitlist to have our AC repair done, we knew we might be in the travel trailer for a couple of weeks. Instead of using the bathroom inside the rig, we’d typically utilize our bathroom inside the house to avoid having to constantly dump the black & gray water tanks. On Monday September 9th, 2022 at 4:41am (date time stamp on my photos) I was just stepping outside of our RV to head inside our home to use the bathroom when I turned facing north on the RV steps to close the door. When doing so, I immediately focused my sight on a strange, well lit, cigar shaped object moving from west to east across the sky, low perspective-wise on the northern sky. I rubbed my eyes to ensure I wasn’t “seeing something” and quickly came to my senses that I should try and photograph the object. I ran back inside the RV, jumped across the bed to unplug my iPhone and quickly brought up the camera and stepped outside and was able to capture two photos of the object before it moved out of sight. The object was high in the sky, cigar shaped, looked translucent and well lit with moving white lights. No other features were visible. Total time to move from one side of the horizon to the other, I estimate to be approximately 45 seconds.

Left of water. left of roadway and over the trees. Object seems to turn towards my drone and seems to get really close to it. I only know it is extremely fast and seems to put off an aura. After seeing this I began looking through my other drove videos. and I am now finding several flying objects not at the waterway in the town of Burnsville but over my house which in in the country among 20,000 pretty much uninhabited acres. If you're interested in these other videos let me know. These seem to be more "orb like" than the object in this video, which seems to be X shaped and also seems to rotate as if flies kind of like a boomerang rotates. Again this is hard to tell because of the speed.

Was looking in the sky saw a large long bright light, could not figure out what it was.I first thought it was a shooting star but did not see no trail and was not moving and was not a air plane, far to long and no sound, I then went back in the house to get my wife to come it .My wife took two pictures as I was waking up my son to come and see it, The three of us watched it until it was out of sight approximately 5 minutes.

Light above trees moving erratically, but also purposefully. We watched the craft ascend and descend and fly circles around the treetop, appeared to be looking for something. Craft did have lights, but different colors, and brightness. There was a plane that flew above the craft about 20min in to us watching and craft appeared to dim its lights sink into treeline. After plane left area craft came back into view and did a few more circles before just disappearing.

Was outside at night recording with my cell phone the lightning storm across the valley and witnessed a bright glowing object shoot from the bottom of the mountain up at an angle and into a lit area of the clouds at a very high rate of speed it was amazing.

Bright orange light like a giant fire ball falling from the sky then light disappears completely. Look left and see circle disk 100 times the size of an airplane with no lights, no sound, moving slow but fast at the same time because it was so large it looked like it was in slow motion. We could see the g force air being pushed in front of the craft which is what made it noticeable. This was our first experience ever witnessing a ufo. We can’t be the only ones who saw this in Wilmington tonight. Location murrayville.

In my 41 years of life I have never seen anything even close to this. My 14 year old son and I had just walked out of my parents house and around 10:20pm on 09/04/2022 when my son starts hollering dad look up in the sky as ne was freaking out. I then ran inside to get my 18 year old son to come see this also. It was a HUGE V shaped object that seemed to be just floating through the sky.it changed direction once but the object its self never turned, twisted or nothing. The entire thing had a very dull orange glow to it Anything Ive ever came across in life that I've been unsure about always had a logical answer to what possibly could have happened or what it could have possibly been. But this object has completely confused my thought process and changed my beliefs. There is nothing that could possibly even come close to being able to say maybe it could have been that.

Wilber-By-the-Sea, FL
We heard a rumbling noise that we couldn't explain because the sound was not moving and was unlike anything we had heard before. It was an intermittent rumbling noise, almost like that of a rocket engine, but we checked, and there were no rocket launches today. Then a fireball-shaped bright light appeared over the horizon and took off, moving very quickly away from us over the horizon. The light then quickly either went out of view or turned off because just as quickly as it appeared, it went away. The rumbling noise then continued for a few seconds and then stopped.

09/04/22 at 10:18 pm. We saw something in the sky, that had a glow of light in front of it (like air that was glowing and being pushed to the side). It moved very fast, and smoothly. I was alone, and had been sitting in a lawn chair. I stood up, and saw the glow, and how it moved differently than the usual planes we see in the flight paths usually taken in the sky! I called to my husband who had just walked inside, and he came out and saw it as well. My phone was on the porch, and he said take a picture. I grabbed the phone (which was on our porch), and took a pic. We continued to watched it, and about 45 seconds later it disappeared into the sky! On August 12, 2022 we had been sitting out front, and a round glowing ball of light came by our house. Then a few minutes later it came back, and went back to the direction it had came from. It was fast, and smooth. It was between 11-1 am. We had been sitting out front that night. We did not get a picture of that occurrence.

My girlfriend and I were sitting on my front porch and she observed a crescent-shaped light that was brighter in the front and dimmed as it moved through the sky, going West. It faded away as if it were going behind a building. She got my attention and I looked up from my phone. My phone was bright and it was dark, so it was hard for me to see. However, I saw what looked to be the moonlight behind the clouds, but if it were on a night where the moon were particularly orange. I looked away to let my eyes adjust to the night and looked back to discover that it was gone. I looked to my south-southwest to discover the moon in the sky. Whatever we saw was not the moon. I have an app on my phone, Flightradar24. It’s fairly self-explanatory but it is a flight radar. I’ve been able to track planes, public and private, as well as helicopters using this app for about two months with ease. If there’s a plane in the sky, I can tell you where it came from and, if it has a destination, where it’s going. I immediately checked this app to discover no nearby planes. No nearby helicopters. Nothing in the sky that was being picked up on the radar, not even a balloon (which I’ve also been able to see throughout the country.) Unfortunately, I was unable to get any pictures of this, but I wanted to report it in case anybody else saw it and decided to do the same thing.

09//4/22 at exactly 10:18 p.m. I was sitting on my porch, facing towards my house (which would face me towards the Chesapeake Bay). I turned my head to the right to look down our street, and saw something large in the sky, with a glowing hue around it flowing on the top, and sides. I starred at it as it made it halfway across the sky towards the Chesapeake Bay. I yelled to my husband to come out something was in the sky. He came outside looked up. We both watched it continue to move towards the Chesapeake Bay. I grabbed my camera, and took a picture of it. Then when it looked like it was above the Chesapeake Bay, it disappeared into the sky instantly. Afterwards, we viewed the picture, and could see the object where we saw it with our naked eyes. We also noticed the large glowing hue, we saw the whole time,was not in the picture.

San Clemente, CA
Tonight while star gazing in our backyard around 8pm, we, myself and 3 other people, saw multiple lights moving in different directions and then disappearing. More lights emerged from the same location moved for a few seconds and disappeared. Then in a different section of sky closer to the moon we saw the same phenomenon. One light emerged from the black sky moved for a bit and disappeared followed by about 5 more lights. These were not satellites and they were not in a string. There was movement from a few different locations but we focused our attention on one area at a time.

Montara, CA
While travelling North on Highway 1 (Cabrillo Highway) along the Northern California coast, as we rounded a bend in the highway we spotted a large, cylinder-shaped “structure/object” at the top of one of the mountains in close proximity to another (man-made) structure. At first, it appeared this structure was some sort of large parking garage as it had a cork screw pattern running up its side. It was tall, completely smooth and a cylinder in shape. It was white with a black stripe moving up the structure in a cork screw pattern. At the top of the structure were a number of smooth silver cylinders that were capped with smooth silver spheres. To the right of the silver cylinders was some sort of object appearing to hang over the edge of the structure. Unfortunately, I didn’t get a good look at this hanging object. The structure was tall and looked very out of place for the surroundings which is why we first noticed it. Both myself and the other witness studied the object for one to two minutes before our attention was momentarily drawn to the surrounding highway traffic. When I looked back to continue looking at this cylindrical object, it had vanished and was nowhere to be seen. As we rounded the mountain where the cylinder had been, we could see the backside of the mountain which was vacant with no indication any type of structure/object had been there.

Nampa, ID
Heard loud pops while driving, sounded like a water bottle expanding, but saw nothing. When large chip in windshield was seen a couple days later, reviewed dashcam video, and saw it had recorded 3 strange lights hovering over Nampa south of the freeway, then large object flash past and resulting windshield chip. Was too fast to see by eye. Have several stills showing object trajectory, not from the roadway, but from the sky. Believe damage to vehicle was from pieces of the object because of the trajectory, and likelihood of severe damage if it had directly impacted the vehicle. The object appears to be a very large 3-D triangle, and speed of several hundred miles per hour. Atmosphere around it seemed to be disturbed as an aura appears to surround it. Have the original recording available. I do not have computer access to the internet, but only an Android cellphone. Am not versed in computer use, have no idea how to transfer from my phone to a computer, and here at work it is only a workstation.

Albuquerque, NM
Driving into Albuquerque, Sunday September 4th just before 2pm. I caught a glimpse of an abnormally shaped metallic object, it was quickly out of view from an overpass, but I could tell it looked like an oblong geometry shape, like a rounded oval with one end bigger than the other. Immediately after see this craft I see to my left, about the same hight, a metallic sphere fixed in place just over the buildings on the other side of i25. It was absolutely clear that it was a perfect sphere. I had eyes locked on for several seconds before I passed out of view. The sphere must have been about 3ft diameter. And was close enough I could clearly tell it was not a drone. As I got further into Albuquerque I saw a military helicopter heading in the direction of the crafts.

Darrington, WA
It started way out in the atmosphere, brighter than anything else I've ever seen. At first I thought it was a planet, but it was too large and bright. Then it started getting closer. It looked like red and blue striations were coming from the core. The core was a round center of white light, but seemed to rotate 360 like a spotlight looking around. Eventually it came so close that it didn't seem far from the tree line, and it also seemed to zoom/focus in to where we were standing or where it was 'looking'. It would disappear and reappear and was moving all around the sky. This lasted for at least an hour. This is going to sound the craziest, but at one point it shot 2 midnight blue triangles into the sky. There were 6 of us all witnessing the same thing. Truly astonishing. We caught a glimpse on video, bit it only captured the smallest ball of light, and didn't really capture what we were actually seeing.

I noticed a light in the night sky much brighter than anything else. I originally thought it might be a planet but as I was watching it I noticed that it was moving in a very tight circle. It peaked my interest and I watched it move left to right, up and down and watched it shoot left and right confirming it wasn’t a satillite or space station. This is hard to explain but the effect of a normal street light or light bulb to the human eye causes a halo like effect. When observing the object I noticed that it had a halo like effect to it possibly because it was so bright that my phone camera could not capture. After extended time watching it move back and forth across the sky I noticed that the halo would form into a cone and change directions on its own which ive never seen before. At about 2 am the object “dimmed” or became so faint that it became identical to the stars around the object. So much so that I could not see it In my camera. Then about 5 min later it appeared again moving at a higher rate of speed and even brighter. I attempted to use a tree in my camera frame to use as a frame of reference for its movements but the quality just couldn’t capture the entirety of it. I’ve been looking at the night sky my entire life and I’ve never seen anything like it. I would also like to note that in this same area just before dusk I was on a bike ride with my wife two days ago 9/2/22 and we watched two red lights next to each other zoom across the sky and then just disappear with no jet sounds or anything in this same exact area that we have a video of as well. I was less certain of that sighting thinking it might be a jet or some kind of aircraft but there was no jet noise and there was no visible craft even though it was a very close distance just 2 red lights
