Sandy, UT
Cloaked triangle with small visible points around it's exterior. It looked like the cloaked predator from the movie Predator but triangular. Roughly 500 ft above ground. Had a slight aura, blue/greenish and grayish aura. Seemingly 5 to 10ft in size. Totally silent.

Whitehall, PA
From my porch I was star gazing. Noticed a brighter light that occasionally blinked red. I viewed this long enough to determine it was not a plane at high altitude. I then had my sister confirm what I was seeing. She then noticed the other orb to the southeast. Unfortunately I only have a phone but I attempted to get pictures. If you zoom in on the picture you can see a halo. We viewed both for close to an hour.

Saratoga Springs, UT
The orb was hovering at helicopter height between SR 73/Redwood Road just outside of Saratoga Springs where we store commercial explosives. I watched it for a few seconds thinking it was a National Guard bird catching a reflection. Then it took off at incredible speed away from me towards the lake and disappeared. I am a veteran with extensive observation experience. It was not a helicopter, drone, or fixed wing aircraft.

Doral, in Miami florida, FL
I along with a friend were Facing west at the planet air sports parking lot in Doral miami Florida, not even looking directly at the UFO just in its vicinity it was not blinding but VERY hard to ignore that this object with these bright colors essentially popped out of nowhere. Immediately I locked eyes onto the UFO for 1missipi2missipi and exactly how it came out of nowhere it disappeared as if it was never there. It moved as fast as pointing at the sky and letting your hand drop almost as if had it’s own gravity. No sound whatsoever.

The green ball let’s off that green static light that a tv from the 90s looks like when has no signal and it has green rings around the light every couple feet then I reached for my phone and it either disappeared or turned off its lights and flew away after detecting me and my phone

Half Moon Bay, CA
While I was looking for meteors of the Perseid meteor shower on August 15, 2022, at approximately 10:00 at night, I saw two cool-colored soft glows traveling from the southeast to the northwest parallel to the coastline. They travelled one behind the other at a high altitude and lasted about 3 seconds and then faded away. They covered approximately 30 degrees of view during their travel and were separated from each other by about 5 degrees. They looked different than the meteors I saw during that time. Unlike the two soft glows, the meteors were warm in color, sharp in outline and brighter.

Objects too far to distinguish but move around very fast and higher than commercial jets. Looks like a star at first but move around constantly.

Polson, MT
My family and I were on our boat heading in to our lake house. I had been watching military jets in the sky for a while. There were two far apart in the sky while overhead. I noticed they were approaching the western horizon and had moved directly next to each other and there was a third object now. It was circular in shape, very bright, looked metallic as it reflected the sun's light. It was following one of the jets at the exact same speed but had no contrail unlike the two jets. We watched it until it went behind the horizon.

I was driving home on euclid street going west and something caught my attention in the sky. 2 bright dots in the sky the top one kept disappearing and reappearing. I pulled over to get a better look. There was 2 u shaped fire like objects in the sky. One slightly to the right and higher than the other. Stationary in the sky. Once I had stopped and started videoing with my phone the top one did not disappear again, it was slide it was trying to get my attention. I videod for 1 minutes 45 seconds. I drove home to get my spouse and when I returned with him they were gone.

Eddyville, KY. (Land Between the Lakes, LBL, KY
Main sphere was saucer shaped and made no sound, flew at fast and slow speeds. Craft turned vertical and looked like a rectangular Cheerio. The craft then began to descend slowly and then disappeared while watching as it descended leading me to believe there was a larger craft in its path. I am reporting this for a friend. I did see the pictures of the craft.

Layton, UT
This is entirely anecdotal, but figured it was worth reporting. I was inside folding clothes when my 5 year old excitedly comes running in and goes "Hey hey look at this! There's a black hot air balloon!" I came out and sure enough there was a small black sphere in the sky, moving in a direct line, not drifting up and away like a balloon. The extra bizarre thing was that it would stop for a few moments, and when it did, it would elongate and take on a somewhat hourglass shape and then revert back to a sphere and proceed moving. It almost looked like when a bird begins to stretch its wings before retracting them back in. My son and I have seen hawks, birds and numerous jets from Hill AFB over the past several years, but nothing like this. It's an odd coincidence, considering a meteor was recorded over the local area yesterday.

West Chester, OH
While driving onto Eagle Ridge Drive from Muhlhauser Rd at roughly 1:25 pm on 8/15/22, I noticed a white, Cross shaped object floating near the cloud line (although not directly near any visible clouds). After observing the object seemingly drifting north for a few seconds, the object vanished into thin air. I moved my head and glasses while in the car to make sure the object was not just glare, and the object appeared too large and too high up to be a balloon (if my height estimate was correct, it would be roughly house-sized, although this was hard to judge based on the duration of time I saw it, as well as the lack of any additional reference points). The object also appeared to be too “solid” to have been a cloud, and I don’t know of any birds or aircraft that just vanish from sight instantly. I have never seen anything like this before in my life, and had I not been driving at the time, I would have attempted to get a picture/video, although once home, I drew a rough sketch for reference.

It was way up high and no contrails at all and no sound, the moon was full and it was headed in that direction

Winthrop, MA
I was in my front room when I heard a random noise outside which prompted me to look at my camera shooting toward the street overlooking our car, what caught my eye was a very bright white flash on my monitor. I looked out the window but saw nothing. I went out to my front porch which faces me toward the south. When I looked up I saw a sphere, orange in color and the color seemed to be generated by lights. Not a fire orange. It came in my direction which would make the sphere to be traveling south. It sounds crazy but I felt like it knew I was looking up at it because it suddenly took a turn towards the ocean which would be toward the east. I picked up my phone and logic would tell me that it was going to reappear after the treetops that it flew behind but it was gone. Vivid vivid vivid I checked off ‘airplanes in the vicinity’ because Logan airport is nearby but there were no obvious air flight patterns going over Winthrop that night.

I was coming back home form work, and I saw a dark triangle to the east. It was just hovering and not moving or making a sound.

A bright light appeared in the distance out near a tower south east of our building. The light was stationary at first then slowly started to ascend out of view of our camera system. Could have been a helicopter but the movement and sudden appearance makes this sighting strange enough to report it.

Baltimore, MD
Baltimore Maryland, Hamilton, @ 10:40pm I went outside to smoke a couple, looked across street up at the sky bc I noticed a low hanging star, I thought to myself, gosh, that star seems too low in the sky, as I am staring at the star, trying to discern if it's truly a start or am I seeing the street lights reflected on electric wire, the ball of light (no bigger than the star) started moving to right (above the houses & tree-line), its movement was quick, no noise, & it would disappear slightly as it went through the clouds (I could still make out the clouds across the sky above my house @ that time). The ball of light moved quickly to the right, stayed still a few milliseconds, then went to the left back towards this "low hanging star" I was originally looking at, & before it went out of my sight the ball of light looked aqua/blue/purple almost, before it disappeared from my sight. It was so beautiful I couldn't take my eyes off it as it moved effortlessly across the sky, and I was thinking to myself, "am I really seeing this? "

Leader, MN
We saw a stationary pulsating light bigger than surrounding star that got our attention. Then all of a sudden, many very faint small lights seemed to be shooting out from the larger pulsating star. It was almost like a Roman candle. They came out one at a time and excelerated faster than a satellite could ever go. They seemed to be shot out from somewhere at 1 second intervals then disappeared into the darkness. They moved to the North East extremely fast once the became visible. We all witnessed about 30 of these lights that just seem to appear and then accelerate out of sight in a few seconds. I have seen SpaceX and what witnessed wasn't anything like that? Thanks

Andover, ME
My wife, my mother-in-law and I were camping on Richardson Lake in Andover Maine. We were staying at the Black Point site run by South Arm Campground (not the day use area). Because it was so clear out and we could clearly see the milky way, my wife decided we should lay on the beach and look at the stars. We were laying flat in our backs, feet pointing west, heads east. I could see the big dipper to our right (north), and what we believed to be Orion to our left (south). I was just looking straight up at 3 or 4 starts that formed a triangle (pointing upwards) when a star that I had seen before, right below the triangle stars got incredibly bright and got much larger than anything else in the sky and started moving at a high rate of speed to our right (north). It seemed to fade, the get get bright again before it faded and disappeared over the point/day use area. Both my wife and I exclaimed when we saw this happen. She also confirmed all the details, including the fact that it appeared to just be a star before it got bright and big, and stared it move. It was several times larger than anything else in the sky, there was no mistaking this for a star. We've also seen satellites, but they are much smaller and don't stay stationary then start moving, and they are significantly smaller than what we saw. We've both seen shooting stars before, this was not one. It made no sound. The campsite is 13 miles down a camp/logging road to South Arm Campground, then 12 miles up via boat to the site… It's remote, we can hear people from miles away, and can easily hear planes flying far above… We heard no sound. After seeing this, my usually calm wife decided she had done enough star gazing for one night and it was time for bed. The thing that bothers me the most was that I thought it was just another star, it was completely stationary before getting big and bright, suddenly moving across the sky suddenly without having to accelerate. It just went from still to moving at incredible speeds instantaneously. The object looked like a glowing white oval.

Raquette Lake, NY
While camping with my 14 year old son and daschaund my son and I decided to do some stargazing. We were in great spirits, dancing around the campfire, running around in the dark , being silly and having fun . My son was taking photos of the stars about 50 feet away from me . I looked up at what my brain wanted to initially call a shooting star, then as I processed that that couldn’t be correct my thought turned to “meteor shower” but my brain processed that that couldn’t be correct either . After about 15 seconds of initial sight I called to my son in a no nonsense tone to “get over here” while pointing out the objects to him . We watched together for at least a full two minutes as from south to north a perfect line of lights appeared one after another moving at speed and in a manner that was inappropriate for anything our minds could make sense of. - The lights were perfectly spaced from one another and moved in a perfect line . -The lights “started” green in color but turned bright white . Not flashing , more like the green got so bright and intense it had to turn white. - The lights were fast and moved at a speed comparable to shooting stars but never lost altitude or broke “formation” in regards to the spacing of the lights in front or behind it. -At any given point throughout the sighting 15 to 20 of these fast moving lights could be seen creating a perfect line across the sky, though their colors were not constant with one another. -The individual lights appeared rectangular or maybe pill shaped. -The manner in which the lights moved across the sky was just “wrong.” I have a hard time articulating this . Aside from the speed and formation the lights “floated” or could maybe be compared to the way something glides across smooth ice. -the formation these lights created were so constant and symmetrical I still question if we saw many small objects or one absolutely immense one My son took video of a small bit of our sighting though we can’t see the lights in the video. The North Star is visible and constant and it appears other stars burn bright enough every now and then to blink up in the video . In reality it was a very clear night with many stars present. After watching the last light in the string of lights . My son and I sat down unspeaking and unable to take our eyes from the sky . The mood wasn’t silly anymore . I said my sons name and he replied “ I can’t talk about it . Maybe we can talk about it in the morning. Don’t talk about it.” This place that only 2 minutes ago had been so fun and free now felt ominous, filled with dread, and just unsafe. We both got into our tent for about 30 seconds and I asked him “do you want to be here ?” His eyes welled with tears and he replied “we can’t be here.” We got out of the tent and started shoving things into bags in any way they would fit and quickly tearing down camp . About 30 second into doing so our very friendly dog who had not made so much as a yip or whine the entire day turned toward the Southern woods and started fiercely growling, barring his teeth, and barking frantically while oddly tucking his tail between his legs . This is notable as anytime the dog goes into an alert position (which is super seldom) we joke about him going into show dog mode as generally his ears will just perk and his long slender body goes into a perfect symmetry with his tail tip and nose being in a super straight line . The dogs actions caused both my son and I to instinctively scream . We grabbed everything haphazardly to make our way to the car which was parked about a quarter mile away through isolated woods. Without thinking I ensured that I had our alarm whistle in my mouth and bear spray in my hand for the trek . I blew the whistle loudly about every 10 steps . We walked by our loaded food hanging system without even discussing stopping to retrieve it . That wasn’t an even an option at that point . We reached the car without incident threw everything in and locked the doors immediately upon entering. It took about 20 minutes of driving before we spoke . When we did we both broke down sobbing. I tried to assure my son everything was fine , we were ok. He disagreed and pointed out our body position which I hadn’t realized was hunched, arms in as tightly as they would go , it was like we were trying to make ourselves as small as possible . We drove the 3 hours home arriving around 1:30 am stopping only once in a well lit parking lot to sit in the car and just breathe for awhile. Upon getting home , my son would not leave my presence even for me to use the bathroom and demanded that I sleep in his bed with him . Imagine under normal circumstances how awkward being a 14 year old boy watching your mom use the bathroom and sleep in your bed would be . That discomfort was nonexistent and instead replaced with the fear of being in any sense of the word “alone.” I realize the facts of the sighting are what’s measurable here . I expand beyond those because while we can tell you about the lights we saw , it was the sense of imminent danger, dread, and primal instinctive fear that they instilled in us and our dog that for me makes this experience so notable . We camp, hike, and backpack all the time. We love science and nature and logic . Maybe that plays into our reactions . What we saw defied all of those things and left us feeling very defenseless and unsafe . The occurrences of last night were by far the most terrifying of my entire life.

Murphysboro, IL
I was taking my dog out. After leaving the porch, my dog didn’t want to go into the yard and it took some coaxing to get him to go. As he was going I noticed a light above me & to my left. (We have a yard light so for me to notice the light from the sky is unusual plus it was cloudy out. ) I looked up and saw a bright “ball” of light moving low and horizontal across the sky. It was to my left /west and was moving north. After a few seconds, it disappeared. I never seen a falling star like that- so low & bright and moving horizontal. It looked like a ball moving across, with a trail of light behind it and possibly in front. It seemed like it was directly crossing over my yard and wasn’t that high in the air- maybe double the height of a tall tree .

Corvallis, OR
I was laying on a rock beach at the Willamette River looking at the sky and noticed a white object lit up by the setting sun. It moved slowly in a SSE direction over the river. It had no wings. It was about as high up as a drone would be but made no noise. There was no smoke trailing behind it. It moved steadily across the sky, slowly making its way to the SSE in a straight line. The white lit up part looked linear like "cigar" shaped, but after zooming in on the pic it appears to be rounded and somewhat disc shaped.
