I went outside to look at the sky, it is monsoon season. I saw a flashing light so I took a quick cell video and this is what I captured. This is not normal to see this kind of flashing light in the sky.

I was standing out in my front yard and saw these super bright orange lights, and with super fast movement, they'd disappear and within a second or less they'd reappear in the complete opposite direction!! At one point the neighbor that was witnessing this with me, he had a car in his yard that is broken down and no battery is even in the car and the lights went on and then off in less than a second… and then a house 2 doors down on the other side of the street, had their car lights blink and then off incredibly quickly!! This is no BS!!! I saw it and it blew me away!! Also, the neighbor that witnessed this said that his sister had seen it also!! We're in Everett WA … and it was a pretty clear night, the stars were out… and I guess so were the UFO's!! Craziest thing I've ever seen in my 50 years of life!!

Initially only one object was seen, a bright orange light which pulsed twice before disappearing. After about five minutes we witnessed what we believed to be the same object, brighter than before, shining in the same place it was initially seen. It pulsed once, shining for 1.5-2 seconds, then a second orange light appeared next to it, pulsed once in the same manner, after which the first light pulsed a second time. They repeated this process twice more and then both shone brightly for half a second before fading away. No further visual contact.

At approximately 9:30pm on Tuesday, July 19, 2022 three orbs of light were spotted in the southern sky. My mom and dad and younger siblings spotted them first; they then called me out and I saw them. The light orbs formed a staggered line. They emitted a white light that did not change color. They just floated in the air, stationary until the one on the far left disappeared—either literally “winking out” or simply moving further south, away from us at a good speed (it was hard to tell which it was). A couple of minutes later, the next one in line did the same thing. About a minute-90 seconds later, the last one did the same thing. No sound was ever heard at any point of the sighting. None of us had been drinking and none of us take controlled substances and no one in our family has a history of hallucinations or flights of fancy.

I was outside with my neighbors, daughter & two grandchildren. When we saw this flash of something in the sky. I took a picture of it and thought I didn't catch what we saw. The sky lit up bright. I felt like my phone started acting weird after I took the picture and it shut off. I thought nothing of it, I just thought my phone died. After a few days, I was going through my photos and realized I got the perfect picture of the sky that night I didn't think I took it because my phone died at that moment I took the picture. I checked the picture because I noticed I caught the moon in the left-hand corner and when I zoomed in on the moon, oh my God, there it was!!!! You can see the aircraft. I knew when I zoomed in that I caught a real UFO. Most incredible thing I've ever seen in my life. I'm just happy I wasn't the only person who saw it. What's also weird was that it was around 730-8 pm when I took the picture but my phone started acting weird and shut off and when I look at my picture details it says it was 12:39 am. Like how? It was almost like a time-lapsed picture. I couldn't get my phone to act right all night. But the next day my phone was fine. I was freaking out for days & weeks about it. And called the police but was told to report it to this Ufo index, which I never knew existed. I am outside now every day with a telescope. I know in my heart it was a UFO & I caught it!!! When you look at the normal photo you can't see it. When you zoom in…it's there!!!!

Witnessed 3 semi-metallic, diamond shaped craft. North East over ocean. Two of the three were in motion, went behind clouds and disappeared. Third stayed stationary for almost an hour before disappearing.

Saw a strange cloud that looked like an upside down tornado rising upward. Took a few pictures. Later when I looked over the pictures, I noticed a round objct that looked like it rose up thru the clouds dragging them upward with it. It was roundish with a blurry bubble around it. Slight orange color to it.

Fort Collins, CO
Sitting on the back porch, husband noticed the lights first overhead and alerted us. They were moving quickly to the west. Duration was about 4-5 seconds. Flying directly underneath partly cloudy skies. The scale would be about 10 times that of a plane. No visible craft. The lights were dimmer than a plane or drone. Lights were much larger than airplane or drone lighting. Moved much faster than plane or drone. Constant speed. Completely silent. Some of the lights appeared to wobble, but held the position. Nothing like SpaceX launch. Unlike anything I have witnessed. After scouring through online photos, the Phoenix Lights when in a triangular formation were a match.

My friend saw something near the moon and she pointed up. I thought she was lying and looked up and saw a bright light and grabbed her phone to take a photo. I was in regular picture mode and her phone was being weird showing me two locator signs and would not snap the photos until I aligned both of the signs. I then grabbed my phone to make sure it was not just her phone acting up and my phone did the same thing. I then put my phone in video mode which then worked. The next day her roommate came up to us and told us he felt a weird presence in the house. Meanwhile,he was unaware that we had seen a weird object in the sky that night.

While driving eastbound on 52, I saw a green light that appeared to head up the hill to the north, opposite the direction of the highway. After a few seconds of the light being solid green, it turned solid red then disappeared.

I was taking my dog out and looked up at the sky, which was clear and with stars out. I noticed red/green lights quite high up in the NE as if it were an aircraft. I live close to RDU and often see flights approaching/leaving the airport, which is 16 miles away. The lights were unblinking and did not move at all, which caught my attention. I watched this for quite a while (2-5 minutes?). Suddenly, the lights jerked sharply towards the NW, then zipped back again and remained still for some time. This repeated twice more. I took a live photo with my iPhone and was able to capture the speed with which it moved. I went inside after taking the picture.

I have no formal training but have been satellite spotting with my father for almost 20 years. Tonight I saw what appeared to be two satellites moving almost in a parallel orbit but One was moving slightly on an angle toward the other and was moving slightly faster. I noted this Becuaue I always pay extra attention to multiple in proximity. Then the one seemed to be closing in and tracking the other from what looked to be much higher up but closing in on it in from the southwest to north east. The one that was being tracking was moving almost directly south to north. The one that came from behind got what in my view was pretty close and then veered almost 90 degrees within a split second, it was almost instantaneously. It then resumed a straight but noticeably slower path directly east southeast after and looked just like any other satellite again. I would never report this if I didn’t see this. I don’t know if it was USA checking out something flying over our airspace or if it was something tracking one of our satellites but saw exactly what I just described it there is zero chance either of them were airplanes. I have NEVER seen anything like that before. And what creeped me out was it seemed to notice that I noticed or something else noticed it was tracking the other object and then tried to look as if it were any other satellite. Just after making what I saw was a serious change in direction in less than a second, it seemed intelligent or controlled and was trying to look like a satellite from the ground or what have you. If someone could get back to me on this I would be enveloped. Please bring me into the black projects I feel like I was meant to see that. I then saw another satellite on the exact same trajectory as the one being tracked not even two minutes later.

Triangle shaped. Much larger than the jet airliners we see each day on approach to DFW Airport. Had two circular shapes at leading point and the left rear point. No sound. No trail. Could see no lights. Looked as if moving rather slow but it's altitude would put it traveling at higher speed. My best guess is it was about 50,000 to 60,000 feet in altitude.

I live in rural Vermont and saw this moving object in the sky when I took my dogs out early on Monday morning. I am a science teacher and have taught astronomy for years. This was nothing I have ever seen and I am baffled. The craft was large but there was no noise. I saw no wings and the craft moved at variable rates of speed along the same trajectory which seemed inconsistent with Newtonian physics. The craft looked metallic and shiny but it was too bright to determine what type of metal from a distance. I checked below that there were lights on the object but it actually seemed as if the object were glowed and emitted light all around it.

2:30am this morning (July 18 2022) I woke up after a short nap (I have a medical condition that affects my ability to sleep all night). Remembered that I still have a load of laundry to finish and decided since I'm up I will go finish that. I live with two roommates, both were in their own rooms and asleep at the time. The house was quite dark since all the lights were off except for my computer screen and a small fluorescent lamp in the kitchen that we always keep on to avoid tripping over things if we wake up late at night and want a snack. From my room, the path to the laundry room (which used to be the back half of our garage until we walled it off) goes down a narrow hall past the bathroom, to the entrance of the living room. From there, the front door is to the right and the kitchen door is to the left. Straight across from the kitchen door is the sliding glass door leading to the back yard. To the right, on the other end of the kitchen, is a door that we always keep locked, leading to the laundry room. There is one stair step down into the laundry room. To the left is another door which is always kept locked, leading to a small shed, with another door that is always locked with TWO deadbolts leading out to the back patio in front of the sliding glass door. This geometry will be important in understanding the events. As I left my room I admit I was still sort of partly asleep, not fully awake. I didn't want to wake my roommates, didn't want to waste electricity either so I left the lights off as I walked up the hallway. I got just past the bathroom when I saw something in the living room at the end of the hall. It was vaguely person-shaped but to my eye the angles just looked wrong. It must have seen me coming just as I noticed it because it was in the back of the living room, and quickly flitted across my view into the kitchen. It was dark so I only saw a silhouette. Since I had been partly asleep a moment ago, I was willing to pass this off as my mind playing tricks on me... but seeing that did fully wake me up now. And I'm not stupid so now I was on guard just in case it turned out to be for real and not just half a dream. I stood there for a moment scanning the living room, in case there were more of them. I saw none. So I continued to the end of the hall. But when I got to the kitchen door I felt an absolute chill run up my spine. And a sort of mental pressure pushing against my mind. Whatever it was didn't want me to follow it. It showed me images of "scary things" that would frighten most people. But I am not most people. First it showed me images of shark attacks. Then a room full of big creepy spiders. So I pushed back with my mind, forced it out so that I could see clearly. Because obviously none of that was real, I was standing in my hallway not in the ocean or some spider cave. I turned around, went back into my room and grabbed a nice solid walking stick from the closet. I didn't want to start a fight, but I also didn't want my face to get eaten without putting up some kind of fight first. As I moved back towards the kitchen I started turning on all the lights. I got to the kitchen door again, felt the mental pressure and scary images again. Took a second to compose myself and pushed back, sending my own image of the sun focusing all its light right there in the kitchen. I also tried to send a vibe of strength rather than fear, with a mental message along the lines of "Get out. Leave this house alone." I stepped into the kitchen. The little flourescent light was flickering, which it never usually does. And the laundry room door was open, with clawed grey fingers gripping the door jamb. I crossed the room and turned on the outdoor light for the back yard, opened the blinds and looked outside. I didn't see anything else out there, but I noticed the back door of our shed (the one with two deadbolts) was fully open. I turned my attention back towards the laundry room, noticed that the grey hand was gone. Again pushing the mental image of the sun in front of me, I opened the door. As I reached behind the door and turned on the light, I caught a glimpse of … something … running out the shed door, across the lawn, and over the neighbor's fence. Their dog barked at it for a few seconds and then everything was silent again. So I shut and locked ALL the doors in the house, finished my laundry, and went back to bed. What I saw was something grey and vaguely humanoid in shape - two legs, two arms, and a head. But it was VERY thin and some of the joints seemed to be at the wrong angles for a human being. It was hunched over as it ran, but it was VERY fast. Most people around here would likely chalk it up to the Jersey Devil. But given the number of times I've seen UFO's in the area the past month, I think it's more likely to be related to that. I think my house was invaded by an alien, which seems to have some mid-level psychic ability. But I'm not sure why. I want to say that I'm not one of those cryptid/conspiracy nuts who follows all this stuff online. I'm a rational and sane person. When I saw these things (the strange craft and the creature) I was VERY FREAKED OUT. I lived in this house for 6 years as a teenager, moved away for 20 years, but still came back here to visit pretty often and even lived here at various points between 2003 and now. Never seen anything like this out here before.

Round white light a third the size of the moon sat stationary for 2 minutes and then began to move north. The object then slowly curved east and then left a square puff of smoke that was lighted and wavy. Through the smoke you could see the object getting smaller. A few minutes later it had a long V shaped tail similar to a comet and continued directly east. The light got smaller and smaller. Then another puff of square smoke that was lighted. As the object traveled east it eventually was as small visually as a star in the sky with no visible tail until it was too far away to see. It never went up. Just straight east. There were a few clouds that were dark because the moon didn't come up in the sky until around 1:30 am. The object was stationary for several minutes before it began to move. I called my brother to see if he could see it from a city 70 miles away but he was unable to get outside so just stood on the phone while I explained frantically what I was seeing. It was enough to have me very animated and was so confusing I decided to report this one even though I have had at least five other different sightings and experiences I have never reported. The entire time there was no sound on a mostly clear and quiet night.

I’m not sure how to explain it other than I saw them I was in my room and I could hear a loud sound outside I could feel heavy foot steps walking around my bed the light from out side was getting brighter I could feel as if something magnetic was pulling me. My eyes were closed and I was almost asleep and as if something was opening my mouth and looking inside at one point I open my eyes I see the shadow of the outline on my ceiling I looked over to the side and saw something standing there it was small and brown and disappeared as I jumped.

Looking east, aircraft flying south at 9:45 pm brightly lit orange and red non blinking lit aircraft. First I saw 3 in a formation in night sky going south disappear into cloudy sky. Then I saw 2 more together and 3 singular ones going same direction exactly. They were visible for about 30 seconds each.

I was a passenger in a moving vehicle and I was taking a picture of the sunset in Iowa and I took two pictures back to back and when I looked at the second picture days later I noticed an object in the picture that was not in the first picture nor was it in the distance of the area I was photographing. It looks as if there is a rectangular three-dimensional platform and a dark shadow that descends in the shape of a cone

It was July 17 2022. My friend and I went out for a walk at 1:31am. I like taking pictures of the sky and stars I get my phone out to take a picture of the sky I seen three arrows like objects glowing and moving in the sky. Two out of the three were blue the other was green These objects, then shifted from being arrows as well as their position in the sky. To the number 7 and align themselves in the sky. I have pictures of a clear sky a minute before I then have a picture of the arrow like objects and sevens. The building I am standing on in my photos that I have uploaded is down the street from the police department.

milton, VT
Diamond shaped star looking light, I noticed it because it was a slightly different color than the other stars, it looked like a star, same distance, shape etc.. i was staring at it and realizing it was a different color, very slightly more orange than the other stars. In the time it took me to process that, I realized it had gotten much closer to me. I’m staring at it and the thought crossed my mind that maybe it was an airplane, then I quickly thought no, it has no blinking lights and doesn’t appear like a plane. In the time I thought this, it was plane height and much closer to me now. It had gone from start distance to plane distance. I suddenly became terrified and had a feeling of dread and horror and went into a panic and took off running towards my apt building (I was at the end of my drive way from my home. About the length of hannafords parking lot in milton vermont) I had a quick thought while running to take a photo but was too terrified to take the time to do it. I got to the front door of my building and looked back before bolting indoors.. when I looked back it was tree line height above me and now more to the south east of me. It was directly above the grassy part of the front of our little yard, pretty much directly above the fence that separates our driveway from a storage unit facility, I instantly just knew it was following me and had followed me.. and it had followed me quickly. Suddenly tons of terrifying thoughts crossed my mind, including abduction. It was this real and terrifying that I bolted indoors and up t o flights of stairs to the second floor where I live. Glancing at my Fitbit watch to check the time because I was afraid I was going to lose time like I have read about in abduction stories. I ran into my apt and it was approx 2:22a. I rushed inside locking our door that we never lock and rushing around to close all blinds and windows. I was this sure they had been chasing me. I have never seen anything like this in my life. I have seen things on tv and movies but I never I’m a million years would’ve thought I’d experience something like this. It would be one thing if it was just in the sky, but it followed me much faster than I’ve ever seen a plane or car! Also I want to note (no clue if they’re related) that I had been smoking around 12:30a outside by our dumpster on the other side of our parking lot/driveway and had heard what sounded like a pile of rocks with someone walking on them or something? A strange sound that I couldn’t place or figure out what it was? I assumed maybe an animal where they’re doing construction right now directly behind our home (literal feet) and maybe there was some kind of animal climbing around on the rock piles.. i didn’t put this together until the day after the ufo sighting. Also at about the exact same time I heard the weird crunching of rocks noise? No clue what it actually was or what caused it or if it’s related, but I heard howling from the north west, north east, and southern directions but very close to me. This happened long enough, and enough times, and sounded close to me and in almost all directions that I actually looked up a bunch of YouTube things about what coy dogs sound like and if we have coyotes in vermont.. because it was howling for long periods of time and sounded like maybe these animals were communicating. If you look up what a coy dog howling sounds like, that’s what I was hearing all over. Didn’t even place these strange occurrences until much later.. maybe these animals were seeing, hearing, or sensing something I couldn’t? It’s just strange and unexplained. I sit outside all night every night and have lived here in the same building for 6+ years now and never experienced the strange sound, the howling or any howling and def not in all directions, not even on the Fourth of July.. and all in the same few hour span that I see a UFO and ended up being chased by one. Please if anyone has a similar story contact me through here somehow. I know how crazy this sounds but it’s true. I’m seriously debating looking up a lie detector testing place her to prove I’m telling the truth. Nobody believes me. Otherwise the actual UFO didn’t make any sound. Traveled faster than anything I’ve ever seen, much much faster than jets.., and I probably wouldn’t have even noticed it had it not been that slightly different glowing light color than the stars. That’s what drew my focus to it initially. I will add a photo I found online, but I did not personally take this photo but it’s the most similar to what I saw. The only difference between this photo and what I saw was what I saw had no lines or anything. Just a glowing Diamond shaped object that did have some slight haze around the edges of something bright at night, just like stars do. Not anything like a beam or anything, just a glow from how bright it was. If it’ll let me upload multiple images, I will upload a map that I draw on where I saw this initially and the direction it traveled and where it was when I last saw it. UPDATE: I just tried to add photos of a map and what is similar to what I saw but it won’t let me click the photo upload link?
