I was outside and I looked up and saw a triangular shape flying not very high above me. Maybe approximately 60 feet above the tallest trees in the distance. Initially I thought it was a drone but it was too big but also too small to be a plane. Maybe the size of a small 4 door car. It didn't make any sounds like a plane or helicopter would. It was quiet. There was a light at each corner, a green, silver, and red. The green was pointed at the "top" and then in clockwise was silver on the bottom right and red at the bottom left corner. It was flying northeast and I watched it for approximately 15 seconds and it disappeared. I then turned towards my left and looked up and a silver flash caught my eye. It seemed to be going up. It literally only last a second maybe less and was gone in the blink of an eye. It too looked triangular but because of the angle it seemed to be going, I only could see the base of it. So like a triangle with the top missing. It flashed a really bight Silver and then was gone. I went and got my husband and then we both stood outside for quite a while afterwards but saw nothing else. I then got online to try and see if anyone else may have saw or reported what I did and came across this reporting site. I was hesitant to report but at the urging of my husband I did. I've only ever seen one other weird object in the sky many years ago when I was younger but nothing ever like this. It was so clear and looked nothing like anything I've ever seen before.

I grabbed my binoculars after watching it for a minute and when I put my binoculars up it was a dull light (compared to the stars) continuing in a northern direction until it went behind the clouds. It was above an airplane traveling opposite direction about the same speed but twice as high as the airplane.

While reading on my back porch the sound of a passing jet caught my attention and I looked upwards. At an approximately 75° angle up and looking NNE I saw a jet pass between two clouds and noticed beyond the jet a circular object very bright which seem to reflect the sunlight. It appeared to be much higher in altitude than the plane and clouds and was completely stationary for the approximately 10 to 15 seconds I observed it. I went inside my home to get a pair of binoculars for a better look but when I returned the object had disappeared.

While smoking a cigarette at 3:35pm, I was gazing at the stars. Something was off moving, it was to far and blurry. Gray compared to the night sky. It travel west to east, then slightly steering northeast. No sound, no lights, no visual trail. Traveled consistently and steady. This is the second time I seen a stealth like aircraft this late at night.

The lights appear just over my horizon. So low that there aren’t many stars in the vicinity. It starts around midnight and continues until 2:00AM. They appear a few degrees to my west. They suddenly appear. Move west to east for a second and disappear. Sometimes two other similar objects will appear behind it and chase/follow its flight path. Sometimes they appear for a 15 seconds and disappear, sometimes for just 3. It’s not aircraft.

Over Toledo bend lake, TX
Me and my mother were on the porch facing the lake from the Louisiana side. Semi cloudy day late afternoon. I noticed a bright light bust through a cloud seemingly just over the lake. I couldn’t make out the object perfectly although it seemed to be in a triangular shape. My mother says there were 3 lights close together. When the object went through the cloud it created a plume that made me think for a moment I was seeing a space shuttle take off from Texas and I caught it mid way. The light was in a clear part of the sky and it seemed to just fade out of sight. And then the cloud plum dissipated quickly after letting me know it wasn’t chemtrail. Strangest encounter I believe I ever had. Usually during sunsets crafts in the sky look like shadows because the sun is on the far side. I can’t explain it nor can my mother. She was on the phone at the time of the incident and I didn’t want to snatch the phone from her hand and I didn’t want to take my eyes off of what I was seeing. This encounter lasted what seemed like a minute or 2. I wish I would have grabbed the camera because in my opinion this encounter would have made the news. FYI we’re not far from Fort Polk.

Walking the dog I watched the light move from southwest to the northeast across the sky and disappeared. It appeared to be extremely high and did not move in a perfect straight line. I did not have my phone with me. There were no flashing lights. It was bright enough to be a planet like Venus but moved thru the sky .

The best way I can describe this in real life phenomena would be if an airplane attached a large tv to its tail and was showing some random patterns of blinking, twinkling, shimmering lights. Kind of like the Ironman plane in Spiderman Homecoming how it has the lights attached to the fuselage to camouflage it. The light pattern all seems to be together on an object and not separate from whatever it was being projected from. They were a warm type of white lights, many different sizes, some shimmered, some blinked and they all seemed to be projected on something oriented vertically. I naturally went to FlightAware to see what was in the sky and there was an Air France flight moving in the same direction at the same time. I used to live under a flight pattern for CVG when I lived in Cincinnati, Mt. Healthy specifically so I have seen a ton of planes in my life and a lot of satellites. I have no idea what I saw early this morning.

My nine-year-old,and myself seen oval ball shaped it’s was very large and started off high in the sky. It was a strange color of green and as it got lower it lit up the my room green, and then took off at unbelievable fast speed in seconds. But before the large ball There were other little lights that we saw those were higher! and moved from one side to the other until they disappeared and one of them was like a shooting star.

From inside my house, after noticing what looked like flashlights in the woods, I walked outside and saw several blue-white lights that seemed to were flickering or pulsating faintly. The woods turned very dark, as did the poetries on either side of my own, darker than usual, and although tmy porch light, as well as the porch lights of both neighbors on either side of my house were turned on, as they usually are throughout the night because we all have properties that right up to edge of the state park forest, the area was somehow darker. That is to say that it was clear to see that the exterior lights of our houses were turned on but somehow did not illuminate anything beyond a few feet. It was then that I saw that the forest started to light up slowly with a soft flickering or pulsing blue- white glow, and stretched to just srijnd the neighbors’ properties also, from what I could see. I turned on my flashlight and I saw the same transparent wave- like forms moving around my yard that I’ve seen many times both during the day and at night for a few years now. I turned off my flashlight and it was then I saw three distinct balls of the same blue- white lights descend very slowly , approximately 20 feet in front of me on the path that starts on the edge of my backyard in the woods. I looked around me and from the three other sides (behind me, and to my right and to my left) I saw a hushed glow of blue- white light that was broken by very dark silhouettes of both talk and short, gangly people with enormous heads and king arms. That’s what they looked like. I say they because each form moved with a distinct gate in separate cadence. The entire time I heard a very heavy vacuum cleaner in the sky. I’ve never heard a machine or vehicle that sounded like this but the thing that I could hear all around me, from the time I looked out my window to when I walked outside and observed the forest, the falling lights and the ‘Montgomery Burns’ looking night-walkers, is to compare it to a high powered, very efficient (probably Japanese) vacuum cleaner. To make sure I wasn’t dreaming I sat down for a minute, looked all around again, lit a cigarette, took two drags, but then put it out as everything seemed to stop when I lit the cigarette so I took that as a cue, stood back up, the lights grew more intense. I took a quick up the hill in the neighborhood to try to get a better view but found none, lingered for roughly five minutes but walked back down to my house for fear of being mistaken for a a prowler by other HOA residents, and woke up on my sofa this morning at 9. I wasn’t outside for more than 30- 40 minutes, including the walk up and through my neighborhood, but it was 4:30 when I looked at my phone right before falling asleep back in my sofa after the walk. This has happened many many times, and I don’t think I’ll report anymore as the first one I submitted was probably discarded, though it took 3 yrs to get the nerve to write it, as this one will probably be too. I don’t blame you if you do as I would do the same, in fact. I would’ve only made it a few sentences before tossing it, there’s much more and much better written things to read. All I can say is this is 100% non- fiction.

I was watching TV when suddenly the room brightened drawing my attention to the window where it was quite bright outside (not quite like daylight, but much brighter than it should have been for around midnight). I could see a single spherical object that was bright like the sun just above and distanced just beyond the tree line behind my house. At first I was sure it was the moon, but there was no detail to it, just a bright, glowing, orange orb. I approached the window and turns out the moon was higher in the sky and further to the left of my window and was a partial moon, appearing white, not like this radiant, orange ball. This was something else. I began taking pictures with my phone, which unfortunately were not very clear with condensation on the window and my lack of experience with the photo options on the phone. It started very, very bright and slowly began to fade in intensity and drop down below the tree line over the course of about 7 minutes. I did not hear any sound coming from it. There is an empty field beyond the treeline behind our house so I can't explain what it was.

I took my dog out to the backyard one last time before bed right at midnight. It was cloudy/foggy/hazy out as it had stormed earlier. There was a blue light about the size of a basketball circling my house maybe just below the treetops (perhaps 80 feet?). It was moving quickly in an oval pattern and seemed "interested" in the roof. I thought it MUST be a reflection or some kind of spotlight, but I watched from my backyard for 8-10 minutes and ruled out any possibility that it could be either of those. It seemed to be the source of the light itself. The light was constant (other than moving). It did not flicker or pulse. It was not a structure. More like energy. I remember thinking it looked like a little blue comet circling the roof. But it kept going and going. So I went inside to see if my husband was awake (he was not) and looked out the front windows to the street to see if there was anything/anyone out there (nothing) and grabbed my cell phone and came back to the backyard. It was still there only lower to the house (maybe 20-30 feet above the roof if that). I tried to take a video, but nothing showed up on the screen, so I just watched a few more minutes. But then I felt like it "noticed" me or something, it came down a few more feet (still above the roof) and began an irregular path (like watching a heartbeat or something--zig-zaggy--up and down but still moving in oval over the roofline). Then I was a little concerned about being out there alone and returned inside the house. My dog never reacted to it and there was no sound coming from it.

The night of Saturday, August 6, I was in a deep sleep in Pike National Forest's Mount Evans Wilderness Area at 11,800 feet. Due to off and on rain, I was hunkered under my green tarp. I was in my mummy style sleeping bag on the ground. I woke up perhaps around 11:30 p.m. I know I woke up for one reason, and that was to catch a glimpse of a UAP as it slowly distanced itself from me. It can only be described as "a thirty-foot diameter orb of dark red fire," kind of like lava, with a thin, bright yellow corona around it. It appears to be the same type of UAP that hovered over the flight deck of the USS Ronald Reagan in 2004. It disappeared among the clouds of a dissipating thunderstorm within two seconds of me looking at it. Prior to spotting it I saw a dark orange light filtering through the bushes immediately surrounding my campsite. The moment I looked at the UAP "my consciousness moved," so to speak, toward it. I think it was almost two miles away at that moment, hovering over a 13,800-foot ridge called The Sawtooth, which connects 14,065-foot Mount Bierstadt with 14,265-foot Mount Evans. It's like my consciousness zoomed in on the UAP, and I thus had a good view of it from perhaps only a quarter-mile away. That was the moment, one or two seconds in duration, that it wanted me to know it existed and had been near me. It was like it was saying, "We are here. It's all real. Goodbye." I believe that final glimpse was part of a longer, more intimate experience, but what that experience was I do not know. My background as an observer among the mountains is unsurpassed. I've been hiking for 37 years and have covered more than 15,000 miles, climbed more than 2,500 mountains, and camped out more than 1,000 nights. Waking up in a sleeping bag in the mountains is like anyone else waking up in a bed. I have never, ever had an experience like this. Being a licensed therapist who has worked with more than 120 clients across nearly 2,000 therapy sessions, I know what delusions, hoaxes, and histrionics look like. This is none of them.

I was sitting on the back porch of my house, looking to the east, and an extremely large craft, larger than I've ever seen, glinted across the sky moving from Southwest to Northeast, almost intersecting with Jupiter's location in the night sky. Its size from where I am located had to have been at least 1/3 of the moon's size from my point of view, the sighting only lasted roughly 5 seconds or so in total, the craft itself about 1 1/2 seconds, the aurora, or wake, lasting another 4 seconds or so before dissipating.

Itasca, TX
She was letting her dogs out and spotted 3 objects. 1was to the north hovering over woods, red , other 2 were mostly white with blue, hovering over a solar farm under construction. No sound at all, even crickets & no dogs sounds. The 2 would be hovering then zip over to another location! Faster than anything she’s ever seen. Then hover. Red object sitting still over woods (at edge of solar farm) suddenly shot straight up & disappeared, like a rocket, no sound! She took dogs in & came back out and the 2 were still there, like they were surveying the tall electric metal towers being constructed. Mind you we are out in middle of nowhere. No light pollution. Dark as can be. She watched the 2 hover and zip across & stop on a dime and hover! She said there’s no aircraft that can do that. Then they zipped off to N E and up & disappeared, no sound! This was Saturday night. No work was being done

Lebanon, TN
I noticed a small light move out from behind a small cloud which looked similar to the stars in the sky, but only about 1500-2000 feet ag. At first, I thought the cloud moved and exposed a star, but after I realized the cloud wasn't moving, the light seemed like it went behind a curtain and disappeared. Then another one came from behind the same cloud and disappeared in the same location and in the same manner. Two more, coming from the same location, appeared and disappeared like they went behind something...but nothing was there but sky. I turned and told my nephew, who was sitting in the garage, what I was witnessing. Then another one. There was no noise/sound. There was no other indication of being aircraft or drones. They were seen while looking East and they seemed to be moving North/NNE. No searchlights or grand openings nearby.

A "ribbon" of light materialized on a gun metal grey disk shaped craft. The ribbon appeared to be the windows of the craft. It appeared to descend behind a hill located on private property on the Madera side of lost lake, San Joaquin River. Note: South of Friant Dam. It made no sound.

8:45 pm, Sat, Aug 6, 2022 Two glowing orange (like the color of fire, but not flickering and no discernible smoke) ballish objects silently fly from SW to NE over the neighborhood. One followed the other. Flight path was largely a straight line. No small flashing lights such as aircraft have. Neighbors Tina and her sister Tonda also saw them. We watched them until they disappeared into the distance. If they were "Chinese lanterns," they weren't buffeted by any winds or breezes. Again, one followed the other. Est. altitude 1000 feet. Sighting duration was about 4-5 minutes. Thank you for your sighting report.

While fishing with my 5 year old son at our house, my son pointed out an object just above us, “floating” just under the cloud line. It was all black, somewhat circular, with two protussions coming out of the front. It was clearly not an airplane, air balloon, or any typical object seen in the sky. I attempted to capture it with my phone and oddly my camera app would not load, and then it disappeared.

I was sitting on my back patio watching a storm move in (facing North) and I saw this object cruising along just above the treetops about a mile to a mile and a half away. It maintained the same speed, and at times almost looked like it had a tail. It made no sound and had no lights of any kind. It looked close to a flat grey color, although it appeared to change color at times. I watched and filmed until it disappeared behind some trees.
