I first saw and extremely bright light that was coming toward my home . It was moving faster than anything I'd ever seen and as it came over my house I could see a tube looking thing in front of the bright light , it had swirls of light blue and dark blue color like liquid in it. No sound at all going in the straitest line I'd ever seen brightest light behind it I'd ever seen . The tube looking thing looked to be about 50 ft or so not that long , the light almost looked like a star on the back end of it and there was a strait white trail behind it that stayed there after it passed for a long time that looked like light not smoke like a plane and it finally disapated.

YPSILANTI, MI

Was at Willow Run Airport (YIP) filming the Blue Angels practicing for the Air Show, and due to it being bright outside i didnt notice it until after i had gone over the footage. You can see in the video at the time of filming i noticed something dart away from the aircraft and tried to follow it but just figured it was a glare or something. Once i broke the video down frame by frame you can tell the object approaches the plane (above the plane) then hovers and slightly dips down, then darts up and towards the NE. I've been in aviation about 10 years and have worked as an aircraft operations lead for a charter operator, i'm very well aware of aircraft and aviation as a whole. I'm also a skeptic myself, but this one i cannot explain.

Fripp Island, SC

We were sitting on the back porch over-looking the ocean when a red light appeared out of nowhere, moved toward the coast and got much larger as it approached land. It moved from east to west and as it got to its largest point, I decided to record and it completely disappeared instantly. This was NOT a plane. It was about 3 to 4 times larger than a bright star and was approximately a mile or 2 away. It was above the horizon and I would guess under 5000' .

Moffat, CO

We were on a family vacation and staying at the hot springs in Moffat, CO in a yurt facing the Sangre De Christo Mountains. I awoke in the middle of the night in the yurt with a glass top at the center of the roof. As I opened my eyes I saw this golden geometrical cube rotating or spinning in the sky. I layed awake for a long time just watching it, it was there for at least an hour. I drifted back off to sleep before it disappeared.

New Smyrna Beach, FL

My daughter Catherine Hope Steele sent this to me around midnight. She was looking out from the beach towards the ocean on New Smyrna Beach last night and saw this. There are a few lights blinking to the right of the film. In my opinion they are aircraft heading to an airport or Cape Canaveral. But, to the left is a bright object that seems to glow and move strangely. My thought is that it could be a drone filming the storm. There’s supposed to be a SpaceX launch tonight or tomorrow so it could be someone testing out the drone camera. It just doesn’t seem to act like a drone though, and it glows. That concerns me. Would you be able to review the video and let me know what you think please? It would give us peace of mind if it’s just a drone.

Ewing, NJ

Light flew over my house. I live next to a airport and planes fly over my house multiple times a night. This light made no sound and just went across the sky and had a haze in triangle form. Definitely was not a plane or helicopter.

Hazel Green, WI

This evening around 8:30 pm cst, my eighteen year old daughter, my fourteen year old son and myself were standing on our deck when I noticed something shining in the sky. We saw two shiny, white, oval shaped UFO’s flying over us in opposite directions. One was flying to the west and the other to the east. After the two UFO’s passed each other, a jet with a smoke trail, flew into the path of the UFO’s. The jet was flying more towards the south. The sky was clear, no clouds were obstructing our view. We did not hear any sound coming from the UFO’s. We took a picture with an iPhone but it’s not a clear picture. The UFO’s disappeared after a few minutes.

Smyrna, TN

After having had a few days in a row of summer high heat, rain, & high humidity, yesterday was a nice and unusually low humidity day. After grocery shopping for a couple hours we left Walmart near 8:00 pm. With the unobstructed view from the parking lot I noticed the beautiful sky while walking to my car. It was near dusk. The sky was a clear blue (usually low humidity for us here), the few clouds in the sky were very high (for here) and were wispy and pink, due to being near dusk. After loading the groceries I stole one minute to myself and deeply took in the beauty of the sky. Got into the car to drive away and while still in the parking lot looked again at the sky. I noticed an odd object and asked the person with me to look at it and ask.what it was. They didn't have a clue. Then it dawned on me I had my phone to video it. I did so, fearing I'd miss it. But I didn't. I got it as it crossed a pink wispy cloud. It was very high in the sky at a great distance from me but it must have been large for me to be able to see it so clearly. It did not seem like a plane to us. My video is only 11 seconds. I stopped filming when I thought it had disappeared. But later when I cast the video from my phone to my large smart TV, I saw that it hadn't disappeared but had only turned dark. If I had known it was still visible to my phone I would have continued filming. I did notice that the shape of the object on my TV was different from how my naked eye saw it. I would have described it a spherical from my naked eye view but blown up on screen shots it has a bit of a triangular aspect to it but that may be due to the way light works when magnified. On a large monitor it should be easy to see. But to help you find it; if you see the shape of the pink cloud is similar to the silhouette of a cat running toward you locate its ears and head and then it's front legs. The video begins with.the object moving across the left armpit area of the cat shaped cloud. It moves upward and to the left across the "cat" shape. Then it turns dark before I stop filming.

Dayton, NV

I was sitting on my back deck watching a commercial plane in the distance. As I was watching the plane, a bright light suddenly appeared out of nowhere right above the plane. It hovered above the plane between the wing and the tail section. It just hung there in the sky for four seconds and then flew off, very fast, in the opposite direction from the plane. It flew for two seconds and just vanished. It was daylight, clear skies no clouds. It flew faster than the plane. PS: if you do contact me by phone, and if I miss your call, please leave a message and I will return your call. Thank you.

Beaver Island, MI

Five of us, ages 20 - 79 were sitting around a campfire. Weather was clear and no wind, about 70 degrees. Sun still fairly high. There was a medium loud, EXTREMELY FAST huge whoosh from west to east over us. We experienced/felt a sensation (energy/air?).. At first, we just looked at each other in shocked disbelief, then out loud to each other "did you hear that?". Our mixed breed dog immediately ran to the east then back to us very fast with all hair on her back and neck standing on end, She was obviously freaked out. Twenty-year-old Ethan happened to be already looking up at that moment and saw two objects flying side by side, shinny metallic, about 2-3 feet wide and 4-6 feet long, about 100 feet in the air. Because of the speed, he said it was actually a blur, but this is his best description. The rest of us saw nothing as we looked the direction it was going, and there was no visible tail. Note: none of us were predisposed to believe in UFOs, but probably not 100% disbelievers either,

Stockton, MO

I was outside in the summer in my backyard. It's been a while, so I'm most likely misremembering the date, but I know it was around 1 p.m. or so. I was just bored as heck, standing around and sitting in a swing-chair, until I walked across my backyard to where I can see above a nearby neighborhood and the trees, where I saw a fairly distant (a few miles most likely) grey, mostly flat object that had what looked like a dome, but it seemed to be at an angle pointing a bit towards me but not entirely. I've good distance vision despite bad eyesight, and I saw it stay still for half a minute, but caught it flying off due west so quickly that it was a blur. I wish it was a tad closer for more detail, but I assume it was there for longer before I looked at it. I've no idea, but I soon went inside while just trying to not acknowledge it.

Louisville, KY

Clear blue sky, other aircraft in area of planes at their level and jets much higher up. Orbs about helicopter size. They stayed in the same spot without wind shifting them or their movement. Unusual to see in this air space. I took a phone photo. They vanished instantly from same spot. Have lived here for 2 years. Odd stuff.

Lawrence, MA

I could be either dehydrated or I saw what I saw. Usual AM PT. Ending with 15 sec sprints for 5 mins. While doing breathing exercises with some stretching I lookup above the trees is a disc shaped drone. Well I thought it was a drone. But it’s way too big to be a drone and it’s circle with no fans or propellers. And no sound. I stared at it for a few seconds then this blue light turned on from the disc then shot away in a blink of eye. No fire or rocket booster visible. I panicked no way that just happened. My Apple Watch has a high bpm but I’m running so that’s normal. I’m confused and it doesn’t make any sense. Distance I would say probably not close enough to throw a rock at it but definitely close enough to fire at it with any Glock or AR. Color I would say silver or the special gray they use to paint Navy warships with. Time of day was early morning as the night is leaving and the sun has arrived and along with nature animals communicate with each other.

Titonka, IA

I went outside for a cigarette just after 4 AM this morning after my young nephews who are visiting decided they couldn't sleep anymore. I immediately noticed a very bright and constant light (much brighter than Venus) low in the sky to the north. It appeared to be silently moving east for several miles from my perspective, but then moved south several more miles before my house and a tall grove of trees blocked my view. I jumped in my car and drove out onto the road to see if I could follow it, but it was no longer visible as far as I could tell. As a reference, Venus was low on the horizon to the east, but that light I was watching was at least 2-3x as bright. I checked an air traffic app and there were no planes in the air at the time. Aircraft flying overhead always has a pulsing light that appears very dim like a distant star. I'm a landscape photographer who has spent countless nights under the stars. This is the first time ever that I could not explain what I was seeing.

West Deptford, NJ

I was on my front porch looking for the full moon. I saw a source of white light behind some low clouds. I thought it was the moon and I watched it shine white , then it started flashing an incredibly bright blue color. It would flash blue and white, no other colors. It looked like two puffs of light shot out of the sides. There was a beam of light coming from it going straight down. It lasted for about 30 minutes. At the end, the light got really bright and then it just “poofed” left to right and disappeared. I verified with my stargazer app that it was not the moon I was seeing. There was nothing in that area, no planets.

San Augustine, TX

Over the course of several weeks prior to my sighting I saw what I thought was a star or planet about 35 degrees above the horizon and bounded by a "U" shaped section of the treeline I was looking out over beyond my cabin. I am up and down a lot at night due to some chronic physical conditions I deal with. I always stop and look out at the night sky every night. Then about a week before this sighting I noticed a planet or star seem to move a bit from side to side and I assumed it was just an atmospheric effect and went back to bed. I saw it off and on in the same position. Then it occurred to me that I should not be seeing it in the same position at diff times of the night/early morning...due to the natural procession of the cosmic objects. I only came to this conclusion after I thought more about it after my July 13th sighting. On the early morning of the 13th around 3:25 AM, CST, I noticed it move again, but much more than previously. This object was about half the size of Venus and about 2/3 its magnitude. So very clearly visible. It light color was mostly white with a very slight blue cast. It first moved moved a lot more to the right and then back left of its original position, holding the new positions for about 5 seconds each, then it moved back to center original position and up and held this position for about 5 seconds then it moved even higher and as it stopped in this position a smaller iridescent red sphere appeared out of nowhere directly to the right of the main object. Both then moved higher and to the right, then back to center and then down. The smaller red object then disappeared and the main object moved back up even higher and then fell back down in a leaf like motion as a leaf falls to the ground from a tree. Next it moved back up even higher and stopped there and then slowly moved lower in an "S" shaped gradual curve. Next from this bottom location, it moved straight back up and moved to the right, then down, then to the left, then up, then to the right again...making a perfect square with this pattern of movement. It sat motionless for about a minute. I was thinking that the movements were far to great and odd to be atmospheric distortions. So, I thought I would try to communicate with it on a lark. I thought and told it to move up higher and stop. I was shocked when it did just that immediately. I waited 30 seconds or so and then asked it to move down to its original position. Again, it did so instantly and stopped there and never moved again. I thought it may just have been coincidence and laughed to myself. I told myself I would check it again next I was up, but slept until after sunrise. I then decided to check it the next night when I was up. I was up 3 different times over a 6 hour period and it was never there! The area where I had always seen it was bounded on 3 sides by a "U" shaped gap in the top of the treeline (each side and bottom, with top of treeline open to the sky). This allowed me to always gauge how much it moved each time and gave its usual position in the night sky. I looked for it every night at many different times, but is has never reappeared. There is nothing in that little area of the sky now. I am a ufologist with over 45 years of serious experience and 11 other sightings of my own, so I am not easily fooled. I checked the processional star maps to see if there ever is any object visible in that sector of the sky and there is nothing there that I would be able to see with the naked eye. I is gone.
