Roseville, CA
My two teenagers and I were on our way home from a school event. When we got to the stop sign to turn left on our street, I was looking up and I saw three lights that were completely out of the ordinary. We have lived here for more than 6 years and I have lived in Roseville for nearly 20 years. I have never seen anything like this. I thought, they’re too low to be planes…roll down the windows, maybe they’re helicopters. No sound. That’s when we realized they weren’t moving at all. We got closer and could see that they were approximately 50 feet or so above a cell tower in front of/below them. As we drove closer, one had disappeared completely with no trace. We kept driving towards them and when we got passed the last building, which blocked our view for less than two seconds, they were completely gone! Vanished! They were not drones. They were not planes. They were not helicopters. They made no sounds. They weren’t moving in any directions. We saw planes actually flying and they were much higher, moving, with blinking lights…typical stuff. These were NOT that.

I witnessed a translucent oval shape in the sky. What made me notice it was symetrical angles within the cloud. It was as if it was blocking the cloud, if not for that you would never have known it was there. It appeared to be almost camouflaged. It was in the sky for approximately 50 minutes. It seemed to be stationary.

Witness was at his son's house and the UFO was over Bowman Field. The UAP was described as a 'tumbling' cube. His sighting lasted about 10 seconds as the UAP flew upwards and northeast and out of sight.

I was taking pictures of clouds and didn't even see the object in the sky until I got home and was looking at the pictures. It is not something in my windshield. I have 2 photos and it is only in 1

Walking with my husband and dog on Mounts Road in the afternoon. I noticed 2 extremely bright orbs hovering above the freeway. They were small, appearing to be right over the freeway. I told my husband where to look to see them. Repeatedly. He couldn’t see anything, which was frustrating to me. I’m sure they weren’t making any noise. Suddenly they quit hovering and moved very rapidly up high. Then the just disappeared up into the sky. Note: This is within blocks of JBLM

Flushing, NY
Diamond shaped object which flew past Kissena Corridor Park. It was not a bird, because I was watching the hawks circle above Botanical Gardens. And it was not a plane, as I’ve seen those come and go. I watched it fly past for a minute or two. Seems like it may have been black, with a light that shined occasionally. Not sure if the light was coming from it, or if it was a reflection off the surface, from the sun. But the light is how I knew initially, that it wasn’t a bird.

I’m a 52-year-old retired F/A-18 pilot and tactical jet instructor for the US Navy/Marines. My current position is chief pilot for a corporate flight department out of Palomar CA “KCRQ”. I hold Airline Transport Ratings in single engine, multi engine and helicopters. I’m also a CFI/II/MEI as well as Helicopter CFI/II. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Aeronautical Science from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University as well as US Navy/Marine Corps aircraft accident investigations / accident investigator for the US Marine Corps. On Aug 18, 2022, at approximately 03:20 while in our Gulfstream G650, call sign TWY670, in route from Miami “KOPF” to Maui “PHOG” at FL470 off the coast of CA, I witnessed 2 AUP’s high above our aircraft in a circular formation. Me being a retired Marine F/A-18 pilot who has conducted many aircraft intercepts throughout my career, immediately reported it to LA center. LA Center informed us that they had no known or unknown primary or secondary RADAR contacts in or around us or in their airspace period. I then turned our Traffic Collision Avoidance System “TCAS” to ABOVE mode also to receive no active aircraft activity as well. As I was continuing my reporting with LA center when another 2 UAP’s joined the formation. I then saw what I believed was a shooting star, but it stopped descending and joined the other 4 UAP’s in their circular orbit. I took my iPhone out and attempted to record the UAP’s as they moved over our aircraft. I lost sight of them and continued to discuss the encounter with ATC. Another aircraft also reported the incident, and LA center reported it to the FAA Presidential Aerial Security Administration in Washington DC. I received a phone call from LA center and also talked to the FAA Presidential Aerial Security office in Washington DC. Both agencies were very interested in the encounter. I was informed other aircraft had reported seeing the UAP’s over the phone but declined to acknowledge it over the radio.

I was in my bedroom and heard my dogs go crazy. I removed my headphones to hear what sounded like a loud, electric ringing and a quieter engine noise right above my house. It hovered for about 10 seconds then quickly went away. It didn't sound like a helicopter or airplane or drone. The floor was shaking during this too. As soon as it started to move my dogs went completely silent.

My wife, kids, son-in-law, and myself watched a bright white light move quickly in a C shape across the sky above our horse field. It then turned to the north and proceeded in a straight line. We lost sight of it in the tree tops only to see it, or a second light come back in the opposite direction across the sky and then vanishing. It had no sound nor any FAA blinking lights.

The golden ball disappeared after a minute. After that, I heard weird noises in the sky. I walked to the backyard and looked up. Very high up, I saw circle lights, 50+ ufos flying. Covering 5 miles, and very close together in a perfect pattern, covering a lot of area at once. (Lots of clouds but I saw them going above them) I watched for 10 minutes until they were out of view. I asked my husband to look because I felt crazy, and he said he saw all the same things.

On August 17th, 2022, at 6:13 p.m. I took my dog out into the backyard so that he could take care of his business. As soon as I stepped onto my covered patio, I was admiring a gigantic white Thunderhead cloud against a blue sky. I immediately noticed something that seemed like a balloon at first on my side of the cloud. Surprisingly it stuck out very well because it was a maroon color against the white cloud background. I estimate that it was approximately 3,500 to 4,000 ft in altitude. Something didn't look right, so I went back in the door to where I was storing my night vision binoculars. I turned them on, walked out, and immediately set up on the patio with a tripod. I began to shoot a video of the object and thought I might lose it, so I moved the camera (night vision binoculars) and tripod out into the open part of the backyard without turning the camera off to save time. I aimed the camera at the object and filmed it for the bulk of the 15 to 20 minutes. Finally, there came the point where the camera on the tripod could no longer follow the object even though it was moving very slowly. That's when I decided to go into the house and look at the video because what I saw was bizarre. To my shock and surprise, there were only 1:13 seconds of video on my SD card. I immediately began to think that I must have accidentally turned the camera off after I moved it. It took two days to realize that wasn't what had happened. When I set the camera up again out in the open, the first thing I was shooting video of was this object that had changed its appearance into what looked like a mace or metallic or stone sphere with spikes. Specifically, from my angle, it was an 8-point star. That is where the camera stopped shooting because the battery had drained even though I had a new power pack keeping it going. I had no idea the camera was drained of battery life and continued following the object. I own three fully charged power packs, and I ensure that I never run out of battery life. At this point, I'm still thinking that I must have made a mistake. It wasn't until two nights later when I took the same camera and tripoded out and turned it on. I immediately noticed that the battery had been drained. What happened, and I'm sure of it, was that the object knew I was shooting video of it and did something to turn my battery into an empty battery. The good news is the first one, minute 13 of the video, was the best part anyway because the UFO was closest to my location at that time. During the next several days, I purchased conversion software to turn an MP4 video into individual frames that are 2560 X 1440 pixels. The night vision binoculars are fantastic because they also shoot in HD and aren't just for nighttime shooting. As you will see, the video is very clear, and if you look at the individual frames, you will see that this thing is constantly changing. Out of the one minute, 13 seconds, about 27 seconds of me moving the camera. So the 47 seconds left with this object on it is a wealth of proof and stunning images of this craft changing. Please be sure to extract images from this video, or you will think it's a Balloon by looking at the video. The pictures in this video are proof of a UFO that can change its appearance rapidly.

Anchorage, AK
August 17th 2022 at 1736, I took an 8 second 4K video of clouds with my Samsung cell phone. 30 frames per second is what the video captured the objects at. From my location 10 miles north of Anchorage looking south towards Anchorage, AK. I caught what appears to be some sort of objects in the sky moving in an easterly course below the altitude of the passenger jet. The passenger jet was on its approach to Ted Stevens Airport at around 10 thousand feet. The photos show that two of objects shadows are casted onto the cloud. My email wont allow me to send the video do to the size.

The craft was extremely shiny and looked as to be a diamond shape. It would turn slightly and within a second or two it would disapper and there were very few clouds around it. It has been. Seen about the same time and location quite a few times.

I was laying looking at the sky from my window when i see a extremely bright light with a blue grey aura travel over my house and slow down to a stop in the sky above the road in-front of my house. It appeared to be just hovering for a few seconds and then went back the way it came faster than before to a place i could no longer see. it had such a strong bad presence that gave me the chills and all I could do was freeze.

The rectangle lights were in a straight line, with approximately five or six rectangles in a row with no spacing between. These lights did not look like the "Starlink Satellite" images or video, those looked like white dots, what I saw did not. I was looking north out my front window, and they moved in a horizontal west to east direction. The month and year were August 2022, I do not remember what day. The time was just before the eastern sky began to get light, but again, I do not remember the exact time, it was a year ago. What I saw went slow and steady in a straight line with no zig-zagging. It lasted under a minute before the nearby trees obscured my view. Unfortunately I did not have enough time to grab a camera.

Rising Fawn, GA
I witnessed an up close encounter at exactly 2:37 am while driving home this morning. I’m trying to identify the style of craft that I had seen… It started as a random lightning strike (convincing me that it was about to storm) The lightning was one long streak, blue and pink in color so it had a beautiful purple tone. One second I’m seeing the lightning miles away in front of me and then suddenly I’m seeing a triangle formation of lights within my peripheral vision. It was enough for me to hit the brakes of my car and turn my head completely around to observe what was happening. The craft was HOVERING right over the power line that runs down the side of the road. I got to see this in such detail from underneath ( it was triangular in shape but also resembled a half diamond shape) 4 lights underneath in total. Three lights at each pointed section and one light in the middle. The craft was dark grey in color, fairly large in size, and was close enough for me to see the lines and details that it had. I knew instantly that it wasn’t a plane because it was completely still as it hovered and it was oddly shaped. It wasn’t a helicopter because it wasn’t shaped like one at all and it was COMPLETELY SILENT. My ability to form logic or an explanation had failed and then a fight or flight response kicked in. I KNEW that this was a UFO and I had the response to get as far away as possible from this. I have seen UFO’s numerous times within the area, but this was just to close for comfort.

Summerfield, FL
Approximately 10:50 pm. Outside in yard on a phone call. A bright white flash on my far right field of view. It moved across the sky at level and straight flight path at unknown altitude(guessing 10-15k feet) It crossed my entire field of view moving from the south headed north in about 3-4 seconds. I have a clear view of the sky with nothing to block the view of its path until it vanished over the horizon. It was completely silent. I’ve heard sonic booms and supersonic aircraft flying several times before. This was nothing like that.

My husband and I and our daughter like to star gaze at night for the past week we have been using a red pin point laser to show our daughter the stars we have encountered multiple crafts flying above our heads at close range some flying in a row of 3 to 4 different crafts all displaying white flashing lights some have red lights green and blue, the crafts will fly over hover above our heads then float in the air for a while then shoot up into the stars but stay where we can see the bright lights in a row of 3 to 4 lights going across, we have encountered red small lights passing over our heads some white some stop and hover then the crafts will come flying over yesterday there was a craft that flew through the trees with a huge white light almost blinding then it flew so close to us we could feel the heat off of it when it flew over our heads something black came off the bottom under side of it and slithered like away across the road it was the weirdest thing after the black liquid hit the ground it seemed to slither away then we seen it on top of the trailer across the street. we have seen many planes and helicopters pass over our house these crafts are a lot different they fly a lot closer then stop and observe then the lights turn red and they begin to fly up into the sky reaching extremely high heights. I have checked the satellites around us to see if there's any satellites and in fact there isn't, I have also called the air port and asked about possible airplanes flying closely over our house as we live close to the air port and they told me absolutely not their pilots wouldn't risk flying that close to residential homes as its too much of a risk. last night when I went out at 3am to let my dog to potty there was bright white lights surrounding our house and there was little glittery lights all around those Huge ones all moving all at multiple altitudes in the sky some of the lights would come really close to where I could feel heat and hear a sound almost like a generator starting up some of these shapes are circular some are V shaped some boomerang shaped all different shapes and sizes. with the increased amount of aircraft flying so closely to our home we are a bit concerned as it seems more and more are coming to let it be known that they are there also when these crafts come close to our home all of the street lights turn off and all of the lights on our house and the porch light. we have seen a bright green light almost like a fat laser beam point into out back yard multiple times. around these big white lights that are close there is a circle aura around them and almost like strings on the bottom of them they seem to let out lighter white circles and they shoot across the sky so fat its like a shooting star. over the past week I have woken up with allot of bruises on my arms 3 on one arm and on the other arm there are 4 finger like bruises my dog barks and gets scared anytime these objects come close to our home or us when we are outside.

Dateland, AZ
I'm Siro Saracino, professor of piano in Italy and owner of some properties in US. I was on my property in Dateland with a friend when it was 9:32 pm. We had seen light up like a very strong oval light in the sky, on the horizon above Dateland, to the west, in Yuma direction. Shortly after, another light comes on, always oval and then gradually others, up to 7 objects. While the others lit up, the previous ones turned off and others lit up at various points and directions. Some were in pairs and some were single, and one of them moved quickly from right to left. The color of lights was orange, like a fire and they were very bright. Lights left no trails. Everything lasted more than half an hour and I was able to take lots of photos and lots of videos.
