Ever since I first saw the starlink satellites I’d been obsessed with spotting them above my property. There’s an app I would use to find them. To use the app you have to go outside and triangulate your location. You point the point up, down and all around. As I was doing this, I noticed in my peripheral something moving towards me from the south I thought it was a plane. But it was moving slower than a plane. As I turned my head I was confused by the shape and color and how low it was. It was a black triangle with lights on each corner and one in the middle and it looked like it was less the 100 feet in the air. I couldn’t tell how big it was. I immediately thought it was a drone but it made no sounds and it was too big for that. So by the time I realized what it might be it zoomed off. In a blink of an eye it was gone. I ran inside and told my wife. I keep looking up every clear night.

Went from North to South between here and the mountains , big oval round but thicker top to bottom. Sky had purple lit orangeish clouds in horizon. The object was pitch black. No lights no reflections or glint's. After passing behind neighbors patch of trees it was lower and jinxed up and down then continued south. No planes or sounds in the air. Size as compared to outstretched fingers was about half my pinky finger nail, around 1/4 inch.

On home back porch observatory, at 9:30 PM roughly, I noticed a single, bright non-star light, moving slightly at first and then erratically high above and near apex of our home, at 202 Red Earth Drive, on the north side. By 9:42 PM, to distinguish between a plane and said moving light, an iPad captured differences between aircraft and single bright light which began to move. Then, about 15 minutes later, I asked my wife of 47 years who was inside the house to help discern this unusual light with me. At the exact moment she walks onto the porch area and looks upward, a Star Link night-train went by which was a first for us both. That sighting was followed by a lone, regular satellite, with both going northwest. The iPad documents my wife confirming bright light's movement, to three directions and returning. By then I remark, "We have a probable UFO." My arms, at 71 years of age, got tired of filming attempts and I switched to binoculars. I could see the bright light that blended in with Milky Way was seemingly channeling a lone line of smaller lights, which reminded me of trout fish being shot through a plastic tube by natural resource workers. Whichever way the bright light went, so too did the celestial tube of smaller lights as if it was windy so high above. Considering recent CMEs, the heavens may have been volatile. My wife got cold and went inside. I followed and there was a feeling of content. No need to set-up digital camera with zoom lens. We knew what we saw were not stars. Our observations were Facebook-posted last night and revised today. Please review the details given there. The video isn't the best, but if there's a video editor app that can stabilize and distinguish between my shakes and that of a moving UFO, any recommendations appreciated. My wife and I have had previous encounters with UFOs, with a chapter of our 2-night 1980 encounter in Black Eagle Child, Univ. of Iowa Press, 1992. Last night's bright moving light was my wife's fourth sighting whereas mine was the 6th since 1968.

I went outside on my steps and noticed a white cigar shaped craft no wings no trail behind it no blinking lights like on usual airplanes. The 1st one caught my eye then noticed 3 others heading southwest and they just disappeared. I decided to walk down to my moms house to tell her and was able to capture 17 more zooming across in a northeastern direction and they just vanished also.

I was driving home from work happen to look at the distant sky and spotted a bright silver oval object. I kept a eye on it for awhile. It turned to reveal it being more discoid and moved slightly south. It suddenly disappeared. There was very few clouds in the sky and the event lasted less than a couple of minutes.

I was laying in a chair at the pool at my apartment and noticed a small black sphere traveling just below the clouds. The object made no sound, had no tail, no lights, and was about the size of a car. I watched it travel at a consistent pace and altitude heading Northward. It was so quite that no one else noticed it. I tried to record it, but my phone was overheating from being in the sun. It was definitely not a drone and it definitely wasn't an airplane.

Wimberly, TX
At approximately 1:40 am I went outside to let the dogs go potty and to pee. After I peed, I noticed a bright light in the sky above some Live Oaks which were on my left. I didn't have my glasses on so I couldn't see what was making the light. But the light was so bright that it appeared to my unaided eyes as a spiderweb of light (like when you squint while looking at a light bulb in a dim room. The light appears as rays shooting out from the light bulb). This was my first indication that what I was seeing was not a star or planet. But it still could have been a low flying plane so I went back inside to get my glasses and phone. The sky was not obscured by many clouds and Wimberly is a dark sky City so I could see quite a few stars with my glasses on. And I could now see that the object was a white sphere in the sky. I watched for a moment as it slowly danced in the sky. It was dancing or "writing" relative to the surrounding stars and the canopy of the nearby Live Oaks. I caught about 2 minutes of it on camera. I will submit both the original video I shot and an edited copy. The edited copy is very interesting as I only zoomed in, brightened the background and added a vignette for reference (as my phone camera did not pick up either the stars or nearby tree canopy). When I saved a copy, the resolution changed to be much poorer. But that allows you to see that the object is actually rotating in the sky as it bounces around. Also you can see that is is not a star or planet as it is the only light in the frame, indicating that it is much brighter than the night sky, which indicates that the source of the light is in our atmosphere. At 10:15 am I got my compass and noted that the object appeared at 90 to 100 degrees East from my location in Wimberly, TX.

I was outside smoking a cigarette and saw this giant triangle shaped craft right above me. It was very low maybe a few hundred feet above me and it made no noise at all. At first I just stared at it and then I ran inside once I realized what I was looking at. I’m not sure how long I stared at it. When I went inside I hid for a moment. Then I went back outside to see it again and it was gone. The triangle had a light at each point on it but I could see the outline of the entire craft.

At approximately 11:03 pm on Saturday July 23rd, my wife and I were returning from the gym in Folsom to our home. While southbound on hwy 25, my wife remarked on an object that appeared at first to be a star, but said it was moving very fast and asked "what is that?" Looking through the windshield I observed what appeared to be the same object, and thought it possessed the physical appearance of a bright star. It was moving westward, and seemed to be bouncing up and down, and would disappear and reappear further away. There were a few times where the object seemed to fade out of one place and appear far away at the same instant. The light appeared to blinking in a somewhat rhythmic fashion, gradually dimming out completely and then reappearing further away at a rate of one blink every two seconds. While watching it I judged it at first to be extremely far away, but noticed that it appeared to be moving in a manner that would be consistent with a lower altitude (the object appeared over our heads as we drove underneath it, and it seemed to get higher as we got closer), and I would say it was around 200-400m high. From there I would say we noticed it about one to two miles away. After judging it to be fairly close, it went behind a treeline. We continued straight down the highway, and we both became excited asking each other what we thought it was. When we got underneath where it appeared to pass, I rolled the window down and looked out west. I saw, very clearly, three bright lights in a tight triangle. It appeared to be directly over a field and someones home. The color of the light had changed to a more blue/LED color, but was still pulsing at the same rate as the other light. It did not disappear and reappear at this time. It dimmed and grew in intensity but remained visible. I looked around for any other lights but did not see any. The triangle shape of the lights was very apparent. We continued down the highway at speed and I quickly lost sight. The encounter lasted 2-4 minutes. After this we were so astonished that we passed up our home. I checked the clock to verify the time, and turned around several miles down the road and returned home. On our driveway, we stopped to observe another very bright light that was behaving very differently. It passed overhead at which point we could tell it was definitely a jet plane. It was very loud and bright, and we could make out the green and red position lights. The other object made no sound, was not as bright, had no color position lights, and was fading in and out and constantly changing its flight path. The jet was on a static course. The object seemed to be on a carousel. I am a 27 years old controls electrician. I install and program Siemens controls products. I do not drink or take drugs and have never claimed to have seen strange things. I am a very skeptical person, and am not religeous. I do not know what I saw, and am very interested to hear if anyone else saw anything that night. My wife is 30 years old and has her Bachelors degree in applied nursing sciences. She is also a very skeptical person who does not drink or take drugs and is not given to fanciful ideas. She does not like to talk about the sighting.

It was a very off night, something felt wrong, it was around 10:30 in the neighborhood so the 4 of us decided to walk around because we was bored, at first we looked up and seen the starlink lights and thought nothing of it, I was recording it because we seen them then ended the recording, I decided to record again because they disappeared, but little to I know I would see a triangular craft when I slowed down the video. I felt very strange after videoing and it felt as if time was very fast it went from 10:35 to 1am very quick and we didn’t realize it.

I noticed falling lights that leveled out and hovered, the lights turned off but u can see the black shadow hovering but slowly drifting away disappearing into the clouds. The shape of the hovering object looked like a huge disk with a row of lights on, the ship looked dark grey.. When I noticed the lights I thought maybe a shooting star.. But then it stops and looks like it’s turning slowly then I noticed the big Silhouette shaped like a disc. It looked like I was looking at the left part of the ship The trees were hiding the other half of the ship. We didn’t have our phones to record. The hotel we were staying at might have recorded sighting

Medicine bow, WY
We were stargazing and noticed some lights coming over a small mountain on on the northeast side of our camping spot (#15 @ willow campground) there were 6 sets of two lights down the center of the vehicle and a single light at the tail end. It made absolutely zero noise as it floated from above the tree line to the opposite side of the campground circle tree line. We could see a shadow behind the lights of the vehicle that made it appear to have a cylindrical shape. The vehicle appeared to be big. And because of its size and closeness it should have made noise but it didn’t. The lights didn’t reflect onto anything and there didn’t seem to be a front vs back in regards to where a person would be to pilot it. We were next to a loud river and while the object was passing over all the outside noises stopped until it fully passed over us.

Witness1 left the bedroom. Witness2 was listening to music. Witness2 heard/felt what was thought to be a train going by, but it kept going and they took their headphones off. Witness2 then thought they heard thunder but it was continuous, and something was off about it. Witness2 went out to the living room and Witness1 was upset, having been hearing this strange noise outside as well. They go outside on the front porch, it’s a clear night, stars in the sky but there is thunder, but, it's rhythmic. near boom, far boom, near boom, far boom, and it goes on, getting progressively clearer until it is pretty obvious it's in the sky - but no lightning, no clouds, it goes on for another 20 minutes, and Witness2 steps inside to check on our daughter and goes back outside within a minute....as we are listening, there is the sudden sound of helicopter(s), and two lightless, dark, low-flying helicopters go by headed to the east really fast. there is some really loud booming, some high-pitched vibration feeling? Witness1 and Witness2 rush inside. We tell Witness3. During this Witness2 kept trying to get their camera to work, but the application on the phone kept saying "camera not responding" so they recorded what audio they could with the voice recorder app. After they tell Witness3, and decide to go back outside, there is a dull buzzing in the air, and Witness1, Witness2, and Witness3 can still feel the rhythmic vibrations though there is nothing audible. The sound lasted probably a total of 1 hour. Witness3 and Witness2 were sitting on the front porch and Witness4 came out going for a walk and had heard the sounds as well. There was never anything to "see" from where we were aside from the two helicopters. It was felt and heard. The sound was first noticed at 9:40PM CST, the first recording was made (video) at 9:53PM CST and then the camera application crashed and would not open again. There were a series of audio recordings made, however, the application continued to crash after about a minute to a minute and a half each time. The final audio recording that includes the last helicopter and the strange sound in the background was at 10:41PM CST. Witness1 is 36, a parent, a student, and a volunteer in the community. Witness2 is 39, a parent, a student, and works from home. Witness3 is 55, a grandparent who works for the city. Witness4 is in their 20’s, a very kind and friendly neighbor.

I was laying on my back in my backyard as the twilight was setting in. I was watching for satellites. I saw a few airplanes already and saw two satellites. When I saw this "UFO" I could not believe how fast it was going. It was much higher than the very thin cirrus clouds, large enough to see red/green/white. Regular satellites (like Starlink) I have seen take 30 to 50 seconds to go by the sky, and all go NW to SE. Aircraft are very common over Wichita and can be seen pulsing. What I saw went by so fast I was stunned by the speed that it crossed the sky. It appeared at least 10 times the size of a typical orbital satellite. I remember pointing at where I first saw it and where it was out of sight. It was a 90° arc of the sky from S to N, it zipped through that much of the sky in maybe 4 seconds. There were no streaks behind it, like a meteorite. I don't recall the exact time but it was near the end of nautical twilight. I have watched the night sky hundreds of times and seen thousands of satellites and planes, and "shooting stars". I have never seen anything go across the entire sky like this.

It was a moonless night about 9:15 pm. I was camping at Lost Lake Recreation Area. I sat by the San Joaquin River, Looked up and saw a "ribbon of light" vertical in the sky. It was dark grey in color, and materialized 225 ft. from where I sat at a picnic table which was about 2 ft. from the water, on the Fresno County Side of the San Joaquin River inside Lost Lake Recreation Area. The disk was on its side, vertical, when it appeared. It then manuevered itself into a horizontal position. There was a row of lighted windows around the entire craft. It made no noise and it descended behind a hill on the Madera County side of the San Joaquin River on land that is owned by the Water Reclamation Bureau, the northern most point of the strip of land is just south (below) the Friant Dam, and runs south, the length of the San Joaquin River. And, running alongside the government land, are grape vineyards owned by a private party. The name of the private road running adjacent to where the craft appeared to descend is Bureau Road. I did not have my cellphone with me.

I was heading east on Old Ocean City Rd and I spotted this very bright orange object. It was moving oddly slow to be anything else you would normally see in the sky. It was dark but not too dark. I could still tell that it was a clear night. I pulled over on Louise Ave to get a video a the 2 pictures I provided. There was no noise. I lost visual when it started to go behind to trees so I drove off still looking at this object and then it just went away. Not fly away just simply disappeared

Round redish orange light crossing over San Gabriel mountains going east to west very slowly. There were planes close by that had visible red and white blinking lights so we knew it wasn't a plane. All of a sudden vanished like it was turned off.
