Auburn, NY
I was taking my trash out and remembered there wasn't a cloud in the sky, so I decided to take advantage and do some star seeing. One star really caught my eye. It was too damn bright. So I turned around and started walking back to my porch to get a different angle and that's when I saw it. A large black tear appeared. It was like a piece of the sky got ripped out. It expanded rapidly from in front of me to my left seeming to repair itself as it did so like a zipper closing. It went over a dim star and when it was gone, so was said star. It moved so fast I had to turn my head to track it..

The craft came out of nowhere. It was big. 2 rows of green and red bright lights (looked like Christmas Tree Lights) on the bottom and the bottom was straighter; rest of craft was disk shaped with a small top arc like top. I immediately put my cigarette out and went into the house and locked the sliding glass door. Did not sleep rest of night and am still up now. I feel tired, a little nauseous and extremely anxious.

Crawfordsville, IN
Took pictures of the illuminated sky over Crawfordsville, Indiana from the South on county road S 700 W near Alamo, Indiana. While reviewing pictures I noticed lights in the clouds forming a pyramid, at first I thought they were stars but the low dense cloud cover would have made it impossible for stars to shine though the cloud cover. I then noticed almost at the tree line a cubed craft with wings forming a cross with some kind of atmospheric disturbance behind it. The craft in question would have been traveling South to North. A total of 12 craft were in the immediate vicinity with eleven of them appearing as orbs in the night time sky.

West haven, CT
There was one stationary light positioned behind my house from what I saw spit out about 4-5 lights within the matter of about minute of each other that moved across the sky at a slow pace an disappear behind the clouds. Didn’t show any flashing lights like the plane I show In one of the videos. This is over water right near a airport in new haven county.. At the end of the video I capture the larger bright light between houses. Last video I moved locations out to the front of my house. It shows the bright object move horizontally upwards with lights reflecting off the clouds very far in the distance. All these videos were shot In the matter of 4 minutes. no way that many planes were moving by the airport. I checked flight tracker No flights were due over tweed but that 1 i filmed.

I was sitting in my car outside and I noticed this craft to the east of me above a wooded area. The craft had several colored lights red green blue and it just hovered in one spot for the entire time that I was out there, at least an hour.

Fulton, MO
There were as many as 4 in the sky at once. They kept appearing. Some brighter than others, some faster some slower. They would not fly in a straight line. After seeing the second one there was a flash on fight (almost like one exploded, in the shape of a rocket engine) lit my entire house and yard up. After that, ufo’s kept appearing.

Elkton, MD
My husband and I were walking our dogs before bed, and walked to the end of our driveway to look at the big dipper. My husband asked me "did you just see that shooting star?" I said no. A few seconds later, he said "there is another one!" I was looking for a big sweeping light to come across the sky, but then I looked to where he was pointing. There was an object that could have been a star, (same brightness, etc) that was "shooting" bright gold/white things straight up at regular intervals..I would say 3-5 seconds between. We watched for about a minute, and then the "shooting" stopped. The thing that was the origination of the "shots" then moved extremely quickly left, stopped, moved very quickly left again, and then disappeared.

Wilmington, OH
Fiance observed strange lights that appeared and disappeared and asked me what it was and to grab phone. I have video. These lights would show up randomly and different spots at times almost touching then separated then moved northeast. I'm a police officer here in Wilmington and I've been working here for 16yrs and never seen this. My father was in the air force and I'm very familiar with jets and military aircraft. These did not appear to be normal. Also I've seen meteor showers this does not appear to be that either. These hovered stationary and then almost touching then separated. What's strange is that about 15min later while we waited for them to appear we observed 3 flashing lights evenly spaced out heading north that may have been jets. We have the video recorded of these lights. I've added screens hots of the video and also shortened video clip but I have original video unedited on phone as well. At times they were in total darkness then show up. At one point you will see 2 or 3 then one disappears and a split second later it's next to the other one.

Gallipolis, OH
I am a private pilot, I was flying a Cessna 150 around one afternoon and I spotted a gold colored UFO shaped like an egg over the runway at Gallia/Meigs airport in Gallipolis , Ohio. It was around 1000 ft. above the runway just hovering there , I tried to get a pic but it was rough air and bumpy that day, I couldn't fly the plane and take a pic at the same time. I decided to head toward the UFO and get a closer look, I was at 1700 ft and when I started to descend toward the UFO, it took off at a high speed to the North away from the airport.

I saw this same ORB / UAP back in late June of this summer (2022). It had the same characteristics: hovering, remaining stationary, dropping down considerably, then going back up to remain stationary. I had a very high powered pair of binoculars with me and zeroed in on it. Although the video is not great, I can confirm it was a white/ light silver tic tac like object with no wings, and absolutely no sound. It looked exactly like what we are all seeing recorded lately. Eventually in just disappeared right before our eyes. I also have video of this sighting.

Atlantic City, NJ
I attended the Annual Atlantic City Air Show on Wednesday August 24th, 2022. The air space was restricted for the show. I took 5 photos in succession of the F/A 18 Super Hornet Demonstration. A few days later, when I was reviewing my photos, and pinching them on my iPhone to enlarge the image of the jet, I noticed a UFO Anomaly in the fifth and final photo of the series. The Anomaly appears to be above the FA18 in approximately the 11 o’clock position. The Anomaly does not appear in any of the previous photos in the series, and all five photos were taken within a couple of seconds. The F/A 18 was the only craft in the air during the time of the demonstration. Because I wanted to include the screenshot of the 5th photo enlarged to illustrate my findings, I’ve omitted the first photo in the series, since I was limited to uploading 5 total images. All photos were taken by my iPhone 11 ProMax. I subsequently contacted Bill Davenport of the National UFO Reporting Center via phone on Saturday, September 3rd, and he instructed me to file this report. Thank You,

Springhill, FL
I saw a boomerang shaped or upside down crescent moon shaped UFO that seemed to move at such speed it appeared to shrink down to nothing, glowing in the night. I watched as it seemingly shrunken down from the size of a small crescent moon to absolutely nothing. it looked like it wasn't too high in the sky and maybe a mile from where I was running but it was early and dark so I was the only one to see it. I can assure you the way it moved was unlike anything I've ever seen before. And even they way it glowed was odd. I am 18 years old and this is not a hoax.

We saw 2 balls of light moving in random directions, disappearing and reappearing for approximately 30 minutes. We've since experienced the same phenomenon on 3 separate occasions twice at nags head and once at Ocracoke where a single ball came within 200 meters of our position then proceeded upward and became 2 separate balls then vanished. This sighting lasted about 20 to 30 minutes.

Lisbon, ME
I have visions and have been using astral projection since I was 12 years old. After returning to where I slept, I saw a brown thing lying next to me. After that for over 20 years and ongoing, I've had nightly visitors. They come usually at 3AM. The episodes begin with me seeing lights, like stars on my ceiling and walls. Then I see a beam (normally blue). I have body jolts and fall in and out of consciousness. I then hear a loud vibration and I become paralyzed (very similar to sleep paralysis, but not quite). I have spoke to the Monroe Institute and it appears that my experiences are equal to the gateway process, where I'm able to create gateways. Regardless, I hear a loud humming sound. Then I see strange colors or a cartoon projected before me, sort of like a way to enter hypnosis. Then I am fully paralyzed. I then see a spiral rotating before me. Most recently I saw something like a blue hologram of Saturn spinning in and around itself. And then I black out. Many times in this in-between state, I've woken up in strange places. Most recently I woke up trapped in a room. Later on, I wake up in my room. On August 22, during my black out phase, I was in space and saw stations exploding. I realized that I was in an altered state as I listened to my mouth moving. It was a warning that the enemy was being dismantled. That they were dismantling the problem. I saw many things... And before I woke up down here, I saw a white weirdly shape rectangular space ship with red and blue lights. It was rapidly falling towards me, as if it was going to crush me. I then woke up. I used to see the entities that would walk into my room at night. I haven't seen them in awhile. Now I just see holograms. I have had a lot of these encounters and visited the hospital back in May. My discharge papers say that I just had an altered state of consciousness. I've been checked for epilepsy and my labs are normal. My doctors do not know why I have these issues with sleeping. Since I was a child, I would wake up with scratches and marks. As an adult, I often woke up with bloody lips. Back in May when I was taken to the hospital, my cat had to wake me up after an extremely bad episode. I want these things to leave me alone. They have been terrorizing me for 20 years and I am tired of it. I want these things to leave me alone so that I can sleep normally!

After catching my eye and noticing it was moving ever so slightly in a circular pattern, decided to see if I could catch a better view with a fully zoomed camera from my phone. Very erratic light pattern and movement and lack of sound made me think this was not a drone. The duration of time it was observed (2.5 hours) also made me think it was not a drone. To the naked eye it appeared as a brighter than average star. Was observed about 23 degrees off the horizon and from referencing StarMap was at the location of constellation Lynx.

Idaho Falls, ID
Stepped out of my shop to walk to my house just before midnight, Crystal clear night, no visible clouds. Saw two soft white lights moving southward, in perfect parallel. Initially thought to be a low flying plane due to the quality of light and velocity, but then noticed I could clearly see starlight between the two points as they traveled. No sound, no silhouette of any kind, but it traveled 30-40 degree arc of the sky in 2-3 seconds before disappearing behind trees. My second thought was a meteor, but the two lights traveled in perfect parallel, and the light didn’t alter in intensity nor leave any sort of trail. I posted on a local FB page asking if anyone had just seen some strange lights, and a couple people confirmed they saw something, one woman commented she had a satellite tracker app and confirmed that there were no visible satellites in the area. (Photo of the sky view in daylight attached with approximate trajectory of lights.

I looked out my window and saw a very bright light in the sky that seemed to be hovering. The light was in the shape of almost a perfect diamond. I opened the window to see if it was a glare but it wasn’t. I looked from another window and i couldn’t see the area so I went outside with my dog and the light was no longer there. My dog was pulling back to the door however which was unusual. There are streetlights in the area but I was too high and there has never been that bright of a light in that area before.

Circleville, OH
I was leaving Columbus heading down state route 23 going to Jackson Ohio. Before I got to Circleville I saw 3 lights in the sky. About 10 times bigger than a bright star. They had a washed out yellowish glow to them. I thought it was just bright stars or a good night for stars until they all shut off at the same time. I thought it was weird but just kinda shrugged it off as helicopters. Until I seen it again. So I just grabbed some food in Circleville and was on my way to Chillicothe then I saw them again! The very left lower one turned on first almost like it was signaling the others to turn on. So the other 2 turned on for a few seconds all then all of a sudden the 2 on the right (not the signal light) started shooting out 3-4 other equal sized lights! Both of them! Them the lights they shot out turned off and then a few seconds later they all shut off. I was freaking out I called my fiancé then the UFO report agency. They couldn’t do anything over the phone but I tried my best to record it. My phone case makes it fuzzy and there is a lot of light pollution being on the high way so I couldn’t get good quality but when I was recording the signal light (very left) turned on. At this point I was in Chillicothe so the lights being a plane or cell tower was out of the question. Also it stayed pretty in line with stars so I drive about 45 minutes and they were still in the same spot! But as I was saying the left one turned on and for a few seconds it stayed on then it flickered for a few seconds acting like it was trying to get the other attention but nothing. Them about 4 minutes later it turned on the the middle one turned on for a few seconds but the third did not appear. They shut off and that was the last I seen of them.

Me and my father were outside at 9:41 p.m. he is new to the area and is visiting We were in our back porch facing an area that has a lot of trees small patch of force you could say next to a cemetery and observe two balls of light that look like they were glowing and burning but moved in a Worm- like fashion. The first one appeared out of nowhere right above the tree line as we were observing a second ball of fire and or light slowly came down from the clouds and look like they were stacked on top of each other for a minute after then both shot back up into the sky 5 minutes later there or two helicopters that I had never seen in my life they did not have any lights on them and I barely even saw them or could hear them but I could see them in the distance
