North Ferrisburgh, VT
My housemate got my attention and asked me to come outside. She pointed to a bright orange light in the sky to the south of my house. It pulsates sort of and had beams of light making it look almost “furry.” She had been watching it a minute or so before she called me out. She said it had been moving too quickly for a plane. It was much brighter than any sort of star or planet, and flashing/radiating light. It had been moving East to west horizontally but then stopped for a bit before diminishing in size and disappearing to the south.

Oakland, CA
I was standing outside on 23/8/22 at approx (21:30) 9:30pm facing north north west looking in the direction of Cygnus when this fast cylinder shape came out of the north heading south illuminated only by the city lights with no sound. The size at arms length would have been an inch and I approximate it's speed to be around 1500 to 2000 mph as it covered my field of view in less than half a second if that. It was so fast that had I not have been looking in that direction it may as well as not to have happened. By far the fastest thing I have ever witnessed and am glad to have at least seen it. I actively scan the night sky nightly for such things and have caught some on video and will continue to do so but this item flew by in a blink of an eye. Keep looking up!

South Phoenix, AZ
Looking south from Phoenix to the south mountain. No one really hikes there at night . Rarely see if anyone do. Never seen any vehicle go up there let alone multiple lights I saw this last month but I was able to film this time. One light appears and then there’s second light at least 30 seconds and then multiple lights at least 10 to my count appears. All in line, multiple lights moving to the second light is real bright. It appears that many lights went in to or pass the bright light then the middle lights appear even brighter. Multiple lights seems go in or pass the bright light in the middle. All disappeared right after that.

Chillicothe, OH
We (two bus loads of conference attendees) were watching the show around 9 PM (right when it got dark) and 3 bright lights (luminescent like nothing i have seen in the sky, much brighter) appeared out of nowhere moved horizontally to the right and just hovered silently, it did drop suddenly again at one point maybe 20 feet. It's hard to tell how long it was but the lights all appeared to be connected to one object, like oval shaped. It possibly could have been 30' long and was less than a mile away and was not far from the ground. It was definitely not a drone (too big, too quick, too silent) it was not a meteor. It was nothing like any of us have seen before. It hovered almost like it was watching the show (and us)(fake gunfire, flames, bright lights etc were going on). It hovered for a few moments and then zipped off as quickly as it had appeared (blurred lights) The show was going on so it possibly could have been making noise that we didn't hear, but no way it was a plane, too low to the ground. One member of my party said they saw planes near it. I saw lights off to the side but was too transfixed on the object trying to figure out if it was part of the show and going to come closer and land in the theater. Couldn't take a picture as flash is not allowed in the theater and it just had turned dark. There were 4 of us from my home State that I know saw it. Probably other attendees saw it too although most might have been looking down at the show. We didn't say anything to anyone but talked about with each other for hours after and the next day so it was noteworthy and unusual….. Possibly UAP?

West Milford, NJ
I was walking my dog in my front yard. I looked up to see a bright white light/object traveling west to east, far away. There was an airplane flying overhead as well, with it's blinking lights clearly visible. The object I saw was much brighter than the airplane and looked far away - all I could make out was a bright, white light. The sun was setting but it was not completely dark yet; the outline of the plane was still visible. Some stars were lightly visible. I watched the light travel from west to east, at first looking like a straight pattern, but all the sudden jumping off it's course and then all of the sudden back on it's original course. A modern plane could not have made the maneuver, it was a rapid acceleration/jump. The light eventually passed behind the treeline and I lost visibility of it. The time was exactly 8:20 PM because I texted my girlfriend right after and looked at the time stamp.

Queens, NY
My husband and I were at Cunningham Park, Queens lying on a picnic blanket on a patch of green near the Tennis Court. It was nearing sunset and I laid on my belly using my phone, while my husband laid on his back facing the sky. After some time, he nudged me and point up to the sky and as I looked and focused in, I could see a large oval space craft gliding past me-- smooth, fast, and soundless. As we were lying on the park ground, near the Tennis court wall, our view of it was blocked as it headed south and passed over the wall and many trees. The skies were grey-ish blue and the outline of the craft was only a tinge darker so we could spot it, however, it was so light "grey/silver" it looked translucent. We could see what looked like ridge patterns (for lack of a better word) on the bottom face of the craft but it moved so quickly, that was all we could gather. It was incredibly large, and considerately close to the ground, so what we both saw was undeniable.

New York, NY
My wife and son (almost 2 years old at the time) and I were hanging out in Central Park after dinner and laying in the Hecksher Ballfields, right beyond 2nd base of field 6. We were looking toward downtown as we laid facing the sky and my wife noticed it first and then me, a large, boomerang/chevron (I guess) shaped object flying from west to east, south to north across the sky. It was above the clouds, but still oddly visible and clearly not an airplane or any other kind of aircraft we had seen. It was very large and totally quiet and moving steadily, smooth, and quickly--no sound. (NOTE: since this event, I often observe airplanes heading in this same path toward LaGuardia Airport, however, they are lower in altitude and make a lot of noise. This seemed quite higher in altitude, and it also was much larger than any airplane I have ever seen. It had that boomerang shape, almost like massive wings, but there was no visible body to it). Also, the shape altho sort of a giant "V" or soft-edged boomerang shape, it did seem to shift in an odd way, almost a hazy quality to it. I know it sounds odd, but it was just such a strange thing we both saw. We were both very surprised and curious and didn't know what to make of it. No one else seemed to notice it but there weren't a lot of other people around when we saw it--there were some people scattered around the field but it wasn't too crowded. I would love to know if others in the city noticed it beside us. I wanted to report this when it happened but didn't know where. I sent it the night it happened to a person who did UFO research locally, but never heard anything back. I also posted it into a phone app called "Enigma" but I don't know if that is a legit platform or not. Just didn't know who to talk to about this until today when I was watching the recent media coverage of the UAP congressional hearings, this site was mentioned. I know this happened about a year ago now, but I still would love to know what I saw, or if anyone else had reported about it. Thanks for your help!

We were driving our fire engine and saw it in the sky. Looked like 4 jet trails side by side couldn't see the ship. I took photos then it changed directions again you saw the 4 jet boosters and then it disappeared.

I noticed what I thought might be an airplane in the distance with the sun reflecting off of it. As I observed more closely I noticed that it was moving unusually. The object came closer to my location so that I could see better and realized quickly that it was not an airplane but a sphere that became two and then three. It was hard to determine if the object was reflecting light or emitting light. The object was moving north to south and then back north again and was shifting from one object to two and three while spinning around one another. I then observed another object just to the north and at the same altitude as the first one. I witnessed both objects at the same time moving and changing shape. It looked as if there was stuff falling or being dropped from beneath the objects. One object appeared to descend somewhere to the southwest, as I lost sight of it behind the roof of my house. I watched the other object for close to an hour while it sat fixed in one location in the sky, but seemed to be getting higher in altitude. It looked as if it was disappearing and reappearing. I could only faintly see what could be described as the light reflecting from it or light it was emitting. It finally became too small for me to observe any more. I have video of what I saw but it does little justice to how I witnessed this with the naked eye. Sorry for the shakiness of the video. It was difficult to have a steady hand while zoomed in.

It started as a bright star as I think. Then saw the only one in the sky with no other light’s. Cloudy sky!!!! Bright light with 3 angles of light attached. Slowly moving, hovering!!! It’s now back in the sky at 12:55 am

Lights were so bright it got me off the couch, 5 total. Starting around 9:30 pm looking north from kenmore. Green, red blinking lights with super bright white lights. All at various locations and elevations, moving and staying still. Currently at 11:30 pm one is still in the sky.

Saw a circular object with blinking red and green lights that looked like it was dropping out smaller objects.

My mom and I saw a teardrop shaped object making no noise moving up and down and sideways. It changed colors from red to green. Then it just disappeared. I captured it on video.

Darrington, WA
Looking east towards Gold mtn east, south east a bright perfectly circle shaped project appeared in the sky. Far far brighter than an other passing planes and would pulsate very bright to black. We saw this two times before audibly confirming with one another what we saw, it faded out a third time while appearing to veer off in another direction disappearing in a flash of light. We had been watching the meteor shower and whatever object we saw moved in an unnatural way, nothing like meteors we have seen previously.

It lasted about a minute. 3 adults witnessed it floating above and it disappeared . It appeared as a an evenly spaced non flickering lights around a barely visible craft.

Me and my 7 year old brother were getting out of the pool and we looked into the sky and saw the lights bobbing up and down across the sky moving and there was a bright flash lower in the sky not a gun or flare shot and we tried to record it but we didn’t catch it and we are making this report And might have been one side of the ship.

Friend Park. West of Laramie Mountain, Wyoming, WY
Seemed to end in the same spot. Observed the same lights, night before at Guernsey State Park. The lights were fairly even, with some gaps in between. Reminded me of tracer shots, going in an arch across the sky but these we much further away and much higher altitude. Tried to film with cell phone to no avail. We observed multiple aircraft during the same time, but they were emitting bright red & green navigation lights. We also saw satellites but they were much further up. Likely Starlink Satellites

Belgium, WI
I am 70 years old and have enjoyed star gazing all my life. Have never seen a phenomena like this; two parallel lines of dots of light, each dot equidistant from the light in front of it, in back of it and across from it moving in a southeast direction like a conveyor belt. It disappeared into the southeast sky, perhaps because of light pollution of Milwaukee? It seemed machine like so wondered if it had human origin? Skies very clear so did not seem to be weather related.

Town of Green Lake, WI
At 8:55 PM on 22 August, 2022, we observed a line of lighted objects traveling ESE from the east most star of Ursa Major at about 80 degrees above the horizon. The objects traveled in a straight line and were evenly spaced along the entire line. The direction of sight was blocked and we could not see how far the formation traveled in the east south easterly direction. It is uncanny that the time of this sighting was at the same time as the sighting last night. This sighting spread across a much longer portion of the sky. Last night the objects were in a tighter formation, 2 or 3 abreast. We will be watching the night sky tonight 23 Aug. to see if they reappear. Again the objects omitted no detectable noise. Matches description of Starlink satellites.

Guemes Island, WA
White circles with orange circle centers (only distinguishable when viewing with binoculars), looked like small dandelion seed heads to the naked eye, traveling at uniform rate of speed across the sky over a period of 20 minutes. Three followed the same line two took different paths. Two were visible at the same time and three by themselves. When viewed with binoculars the white perimeter looked fuzzy.
