Just after Springfield Illinois, IL
Was driving north bound on interstate 55 in Illinois from Springfield toward Chicago i would say just after the road straightened out after Springfield and way before you start seening the windmills. To the left side of the road up in the sky at the puffy cloud level so if you drive this way you will see alot of puffy low clouds its at that level i seen it forward and watched it as far as i could as i drove looking left it was like it was watching the cars on the interstate it was the size of a car to maybe a suv and was black..i watched it hover and move left and right between 2 of the clouds it had a weird shape there is no way in hell it was a ballon or a drone and are there big birds at that high in sky..i dont think so it was watching the road is the feeling i got.if you drive this way you'll see the low puffy clouds it was toward to top of those clouds I watched it move back and forth 3 times I slowed to watch it..it was no plane..i should have got a picture but driving on that road can kill you if you stopi think it was using the cloud as cover but this is true with many ufos they will hide in clouds.to high to be a drone and it was not a government drone those are white or silver..never a camera when you need one..but I did have a straight feeling so it was black I almost thought I cloud see something on the under side.

Boulder, CO
I was allowing students into school during morning duty when a spherical silver object materialized just north of the flatirons and to the west of my location over the foothills of Boulder. It flashed white twice before it translationed back to a metal sphere and dissolving. There was no sound or other craft observed.

We were the only campers at this part of the campground on this particular evening. We were sleeping on the edge of the trees and the small lake, in out screen tent. I woke up some time between 4am and 5:20 am and saw a large, round, bright white light slowly flying over the trees near us and almost right over our tent. I wasn’t sure if I was dreaming so I woke up my husband and asked him to put his glasses on so that he can confirm what I was seeing. He confirmed and we watched in awe as the soundless object flew across the sky. By the time it disappeared over the horizon it was moving quickly and was the size of the stars. When it was right above us it was as large as an airliner would be if it was round in shape. There were other airplanes in the sky and none looked like or behaved like what we saw. Unfortunately we were both in shock and didn’t record the event. Today it came to me that by filing this report it may help confirm other sightings at this time and location. Shortly after the moon was doing something I have never seen before. There were bright beams creating a star like shape. My husband and I are regular people who enjoy camping and do so almost every month. He is a manager in retail and I am a massage therapist.

We were tracking what we thought could be a satellite but it was moving to high and to fast to be an airplane. Suddenly and for about 5 seconds there was a second light moving in total tandem with the first light and then it disappeared. The first light kept moving quickly across the sky.

Clovis, CA
Sitting on back porch around 2115, on Aug 21, 2022, in Clovis ,California, watching the sky, relaximg as I do most evenings. I see movement and look toward Cassiopeia, which is in the W shape tonight. On the right arm, headiing E to ENE, I see what struck me as a craft. I thought airplane at first, but the speed was just nuts. I got the inpression it was at high altitude--there was no sound, not even delayed jet noise. It did not have red/green flashers like you see on the fuselage and wings of planes; the craft was just white light that seemed to pulse slightly. I honestly couldn't tell if it was emitting light or reflecting it because of the pulsing. The light flew on a straight path, eastwardly, at a high rate of speed. I never lost aight of it, even though I got the impression it was moving away from my position rapidly. From where I was sitting, the plane moved downward in my view, from the sky toward the mountains in the distance, as it was heading away frim me. Then, out of nowhere, just above the top of the mountains (from my seated view), a bright flash occurred directly in the flight path of the light craft and it dossapeared into the flash. The flash lasted about a second or less, like a hole opened up, or a portal of some kind, just long enough for the craft to enter and close up again. I came in the house, a little shook. Put on some actual clothes, instead of my bathrobe, and went back out at 2130. I saw two fighter jets racing toward where I saw the flash. They circled around a few times, like they were looking for what I saw. I came back in, told my wife, and looked online for ways to report what I saw. Funny! I just scrolled down to answer your additional questions and saw this: There were electrical or magnetic effects, such as a car engine stopping. About 5-10 minutes before my sighting, the power in the house flickered 3 times. It was like the whole house just hiccuped, not like s traditional outage experience. Didn't think that might be related, but there you go.

Fairwater, WI
Clear night Sky. We observed a series of lights passing through the constellation Cassiopeia. The series of lights were about 4 hand widths long. The lights were first observed nearing the middle star of the constellation. The series of lights were a distinct width of my index finger when held at arms length. The lights were white and circular and appeared to have a distinct and defined spacing while traveling in a straight line. About five minutes after the objects passed, it appeared as if a number of military craft passed in an easterly course. The objects appeared as distinct white orbs. No blinking lights were observed on the crafts.

Was lying in my hammock on the deck behind my house facing north. A silver-white object traveled SE to SW. It soon returned and went SW to SE. There were no wings, it was silent and traveled at a consistent rate of speed. My son looked at it through cheap binoculars and couldn’t tell what it was.

Arizona City, AZ
An object, that brightly lit up the cloud cover it traveled through, flew silently, at tremendous speed, from East to West over Arizona City, AZ at approximately 4:50 am 08/21/2022. It slightly changed direction south about midway through the sighting. It covered the viewable distance horizon to horizon in approximately 15 to 20 seconds. I did not see the object directly as it was traveling in the cloud cover. It appeared to be a single object capable of quiet, very fast travel and maneuverability.

Twain, CA
I was visiting my dad at his popular recreation spot. I have lived there previously. He’s been there longer. He saw one thing in 15 years— What I saw… I’m a night owl. I went out to smoke a cigarette on the porch. Animals, noises, and even forest mysteries don’t frighten or deter me from the isolation… I was sitting on the porch and as someone that lives in the city and is not observant— the sparkling light traveling to the left of me didnt strike me… we are so used to planes. Helicopters, It struck me suddenly- I was in the mountains… not in an aero path… what was that light in the trees? I stared at it to the left of the porch watching it move— until it finally reached a clearing. Beautiful. From left to right. A strip of light like a DJ rave… but it only had certain colors…. As I stared and sort of began to realize what I was looking at…. In an instant it was like “IT” saw me too. It began to start directly towards me and I thought, “No Way!” A lot of things went through my mind. And I thought “Man this planet sucks Let’s Go!” But it got so close— I got scared. I thought of if they took me I’d miss my dad. The rainbow DJ of the disc on the quarter’s edge as it approached. When I got scared I ran in really quick and turned thd porch light off— I ran back out and it slowly switched directions. Like it knew I was scared. Well I knew no one would believe it. So Iran into my dads room and told him to hurry I saw a spaceship NOW By the time dad came out the mysterious undulating he saw go from horizontal to vertically land almost on forest ridge… we fondly called it rainbow brite which appeared around distantly— a couple days/—

I was driving home from work on 8/21/22. On I-91 North in New Haven, CT. I noticed a large object in the sky with bright lights, moving too slow to be a plane. The UFO then seemed to hover to the right of the highway as I drove by it.

Went outside to fix some hanging lights that were on our balcony. My husband noticed the light and said “whoah what is that?”. We both assumed it was just a bright star so didn’t pay much attention. A few minutes pass and my husband then notices it’s gone. We thought that was weird and it could’ve just been a plane. As we continued to watch the area it was in, it reappeared. I began filming and got a total of about 25 minutes filming this object. It slowly moves around but the movements aren’t entirely obvious with the naked eye. Very slow movements. Upon zooming in on the video, you can clearly see there are several lights, sometimes flashing blue and randomly red. When it fades out to black, it’s a very slow gradual fade. You can still see it up until it is completely dark. I recorded for a bit after the fade and it did not return as it did prior to filming. * 1 plane passed by the object (caught on video not attached to this submission) * irregular light flashing patterns * very slow movement, unnoticeable to the naked eye * was floating in the area for 30+ minutes * spotted somewhat in the area of Skinwalker Ranch, UT VIDEO ATTACHED IS CROPPED FOR SIZE PURPOSES. VIDEO ATTACHED SHOWS THE FADING OUT OF THE OBJECT.

We were outside at a holistic retreat house where a lot of mediums connect people to spirit and a lot of cosmic chatter happens. As we were sitting outside listening to hours of screech owls talking to us all around we all looked up and there was a MASSIVE row of 7-10 lights radiating perfectly aligned. It was up there for 1-2 mins until it started to rotate away from us and disappeared into the Big Dipper. No more than a few minutes later there was a response from the air force or airport near by as they zipped over there and checked it out. Our phones quit working. We went inside and pulled cards to see what the archetype of that thing was… we pulled the “mentor” and it had a picture of a screech owl. I’ve been told since that owls and UFOs have a connection. This experience has us all shook and there’s no doubt in my mind that it was a UFO. My body filled with the feeling of static. I was vibrating like crazy so it felt. I feel changed as if my awareness of my consciousness has expanded after that.

I was closing the gate to my driveway when I felt like something was watching me. Then I looked around and saw something move from the corner of my eye and up in the sky I saw a lot of stars clustered in one area. Then there was a beam of light behind it with even brighter lights on top of it. It looked like a cigar, and started flying west. As it became more visible, the white lights behind it got brighter and it was moving a lot faster. Then it compressed into one bright ball of light and moved very quickly at about 250 degrees west by the time my camera captured a picture it looks like another star in the sky. Then I saw it reappear back at 280 degrees west in the blink of an eye, and it was in the cigar shape again with the bright white light behind it. Then it flew directly up and a bright yellow/red flash appeared before it left and it was gone.

3 red lights, in a straight line, equal distance apart appeared in night sky, altitude appeared lower than planes (I live near the MSP airport) no blinking lights, no sound, no movement, from my vantage point appeared 3 to 4 inches in diameter, for 1 minute, 1st in line within 2 seconds went into the outer atmosphere, no acceleration, no noise, 1 second stop and appeared as a pin head size red dot, then disappeared. 2nd in line, same process then 3rd in line, same process. I went into house, got cell, went back outside, called brother, gave description of event when a 4th red light, same size, same position hovered in the same spot for about one minute, within 2 seconds, same process as previous 3, no acceleration, no noise.

My wife first seen the light, she sent for my attention. What we seen was a bright ball of white light that would become visible, move in an upward short straight line then vanish, then reappear in it’s original location and repeat. The time varied between when the light would become visible again, sometimes a few seconds to a couple of minutes. The last time we seen it, the light showed up in a completely new location and sped fast in a straight line completely disappearing. The ball of light left no tracer or tail behind it as it vanished or during its performance. I’m not sure if this was two crafts. As we all sat at the end of our driveway waiting for it to return, I noticed a new ball of light over some trees, in a new location in the sky. This time the light would get bright, much brighter than originally, then vanish and reappear in a new spot over the trees. This happened around 5 times. I don’t know if this was the same or 3 separate objects. We sat on the driveway for 20 or so minutes watching the sky waiting for them to return. Nothing that we noticed showed back up. The sky was clear of clouds and it was dark enough to see many stars.

Phoenix/ ahwatukee, AZ
I was in the passenger seat and was looking at the clouds when we came around the hill and I saw what I thought was a drone. It started doing diagonal movements or x shaped and was wobbling. It seemed to be doing a circle. Movements a drone can’t do. It was daylight and it wasnt very high up maybe a couple of houses above the houses. I stared because I was looking for the blades and I noticed it had none. Just a smooth round donut shape with a clear hole in the center. The way it moved I could definitely tell there was no blur anywhere. It seemed very small and black. If something was inside it it would have to be like rat or cat sized. There was just one and it was above a housing track prolly 1000 or more houses there as it’s in the center of Phoenix. They don’t know I saw them right? If there is a they? I’d like to be left alone. I looked up black donut ufo in google and DuckDuckGo and the few videos and pictures I saw looked exactly like what I saw and honestly I’m freaked out. I have a photographic memory so it just keeps playing in my head. I’ve never thought about aliens existing until a few days ago when I read some article about them and now two days later I think I’ve see a real ufo. It seems so unreal.
