Worcester, MA

As above, at first I thought it was a bright star, but it was moving so I thought it was a satellite. I got my neighbors and said to come look at this satellite. But then as it moved across the sky, it started changing direction, and would actually dart around in an irregular pattern. I thought at times in my peripheral vision close to it there were smaller “sparkles”, but they were brief and I can’t comment further on those. The “star/UFO” eventually stopped moving and remained stationary in the sky like a star.

Wheaton, IL

We were on our roof in the evening looking for fireworks when we noticed two bright flying objects hovering in the sky. They were brightly lit and appeared to flame slightly. We thought they were drones but they appeared very large and very bright. They hovered near each other and slowly descended. They were far enough away for disappear over the trees so they must have been fairly large. A darker craft was seen slightly above them.

Jamison, PA

In 2010 I was with my family at a barbecue. I was younger and was mainly hanging around with the other kid who was there, a girl about my age that I had known for some time. It was the 4th of July and we stepped outside to look at the fireworks being set off near by. I remember hearing fireworks go off behind us in the direction of her backyard where the parents were. We both turned around so we could see them, but when we looked in the sky, there was a silent, black disk floating slowly across the sky. I used to build model military/civilian aircraft when I was a kid, so I knew, and still know, what a human aircraft looks like. It was not a blimp. Not a balloon, as it’s movement was perfect, unlike the characteristic bobbing associated with loose balloons(I should add, it was not particularly windy). I could not gauge its size. This next part is a bit corny, but this is what happened. The disk moved slowly until her neighbors(the home behind her’s) chimney was blocking it from view. We quickly repositioned ourselves around her neighbors house, but it was gone, we couldn’t see it anywhere and believe me we looked. We told our parents and they didn’t believe us. This changed my perspective on everything.

Woodstock, NY

Was waiting for fire works that night, but they were’nt scheduled till next month in Woodstock. Looked like a large bus, no wings, very bright lights. Little lower than a plane would be in the sky. Sighting stayed in the same spot, no sounds, for 1 hr. Then moved over to the right and dropped a little lower for another 1/2 hour before I went to sleep.

Pamona, NJ

I was driving west on the AC expressway just passed exit 9. I have a step van so high windshield. So I didn't have to bend down to look up. The object caught my eye because it was super reflective from the sun. It looked squarish, no wings. No sound. It flew across the highway so fast then went down behind the trees. I thought wow that's going to crash, or land, no plane goes that fast. But it was going away from pamona and the AC airport, there is no other airport on the other side. It was low, 1000 feet maybe. My perspective fe right to left was half a mile. So did half a mile in 5 seconds. No way I was the only one who saw it.

Jacksonville, FL

I noticed a shiny silver metallic object sitting static in the sky then dissappear then reappear 5 or 10 aerial miles farther away than the first position in a matter of 5 or 6 secs but not as florescent as the first appearance which after a few secs it disappeared again for good Sterling silver had nothing on the beauty of this object it was truly amazing!

Bass River Township, NJ

I couldn't sleep, and my roommate was up too. So the evening of July 3 (or morning of July 4 depending on your point of view) at 3:33am we decided to go for a drive, get some air, hopefully get tired enough to sleep when we come back after doing a few laps down the back roads. We were gone for about an hour. Came back, parked the car, sun isn't up yet so we're standing out front in the driveway, leaning against my car, just talking and looking at the stars as they slowly fade out behind the pre-dawn glow. Then I saw a UFO straight out of one of those conspiracy videos you can find anytime you google the term "UFO." Silver sphere, not entirely sure how high but my guess is a couple thousand feet and was probably about the size of a mid-size SUV. Two very bright searchlights - not sure if that's their actual function but that's what they look like from the ground - on the bottom swiveled around for a few seconds. Then it sped off, leaving a very short trail of glowing particles in its wake like when the Star Trek ships go to warp speed. Just vanished in the blink of an eye. The trail also vanished after about half a second. I was so amazed that I dropped my soda can on the ground, speechless for a few seconds just pointing up with my mouth hanging open. We started talking again, and about a minute later IT CAME BACK, or perhaps it was a second craft. Closer this time, directly over my head. My roommate saw it too. It hung there, directly overhead, for maybe half a minute before sliding sideways at incredible speed and vanishing again. Rough estimate, it moved maybe 200 feet sideways before it disappeared from view. Well, I know what a GPS satellite looks like from the ground. I know what a helicopter or small airplane or F-16 or 747 looks like from the ground. THIS WAS NOT ANY OF THOSE. And I know this is meteor season. I ALSO saw several meteors - shooting stars as you might call them - as well as this. This thing was NOT A SHOOTING STAR. It was a smooth, solid, metallic sphere with articulated light sources on the bottom only, and some kind of rapid acceleration device. If it was just a weird shape I would admit that it was possibly a man-made craft. But this thing moved laterally SO FAST side-to-side that nothing man-made could survive those G-forces, our welds and rivets would shake apart at that speed/force even on an unmanned drone (which I know because I used to build components for the aerospace industry)… and then it BLINKED OUT OF VIEW AS IF VANISHING FROM EXISTENCE, the motion was only visible for maybe a tenth of a second (travel distance maybe 200 feet) before it was just GONE leaving a sort of ion glow for just a second more almost like the northern lights. Then it blinked right back into view AS IF FROM NOWHERE a moment later in a different location, with pinpoint accuracy and instant braking. I'm not even sure if it was actually moving through 3-dimensional space at "light speed" or just teleporting. And it made NO SOUND. I'm in New Gretna, so at 4:30 am there is no noise out here, you can hear a pin drop from 2 miles away. This thing was right over my head, maybe half a mile up, and was completely silent. No engine noise, no exhaust noise, no rotor noise, no sonic boom as it moved at what appeared to be HYPERSONIC speeds at least, no sound of the air around it being disturbed as it passed by. This was not man made, nor a natural phenomenon. Of that I am certain. I did not get photos because it's super dark out, pretty high up, and I often forget that my phone has a camera attached. But my roommate just showed me a video someone else posted on TikTok THIS MORNING (7/17) from ARIZONA that depicted THE SAME TYPE OF CRAFT performing similar maneuvers but in a large group, looked like nine or ten in that instance. I saw the SAME PHENOMENON again in my back yard THREE MORE TIMES since then, as of July 17. I also had an experience with a creature that may be related to the craft, which I will file as a separate report.

St. Gabriel, LA

Object had a white light at each corner of the delta and one in its exact center. It was stationary above my wife, son, and I who were stargazing. It was the relative size of a quarter given the objects altitude. About 30 seconds after we all saw it, the object accelerated and flew away at an extremely high rate of speed without making a sound or leaving a trail. My blue heeler also was barked and snarled at the object.

Circular/ring type craft lights looked like Gordie's glasses in Star Trek. Lights got brighter while the vehicle moved forward then disappeared. I sit and watch planes from Midway all the time. I've never seen anything like this.

Trumbull, CT

I heard fireworks going off in the distance while on the phone in my driveway about to leave when 2 round bright orbs started to come over the trees so I grabbed my other phone to record as I thought there where no more 2 appeared from the same path following each other then another followed as another followed then stopped. I then left to follow them as I pulled down the street and took a left on jog hill rd 2 more following each other in the same path as the others so I quickly recorded them as they pasted over the trees I turned downed Daniel's farm rd I witnessed a cop car stopped in front of the Trumbull high school farm witnessing the same balls of light I saw. I tried to follow them but they began to quickly sped up and took off in the distance headed south it looked like toward Bridgeport, CT. I was in shock with my girlfriend on the phone the whole time giving her a play by play. I took videos and still shots. Definitely where no Chinese candle things in a bag as ppl tried to say it was from my videos because these balls of light where intelligent and moving at different speeds. I know I couldn't have been the only person to see this. Some ppl that night may have brushed it off as fireworks but these where no fireworks or plane or helicopter. Not to long after I witnessed 2 helicopters flying low and fast. Maybe government idk.

Sunriver, OR

I had just mounted 2 guitar holder/ wall mounts in my vacation cabin, while taking pictures these 2 to 3 small orbs of light surrounded me, darting around for around 20-30 seconds. I was scared at first, but there was no threatening feeling. I fumbled my iPhone and got it on to video mode and caught them flying around the room before they disappeared as fast as they showed up- instantly. I have this on my iPhone, and transferred to my laptop. I looked up small light orbs in a search and saw the 'Florida security camera catches orb image' video on Youtube- they looked EXACTLY like that.

It appeared after the fireworks display. There was still residual smoke and the object moved to above where the fireworks were. It then left the camera view. The reappeared and accelerated and disappeared in less than a second. Strange flight characteristics. You can see it, download it, use it, research it at: http://www.ittnnet.com/Cam/cam.html

Bloomsburg, PA

Saw very bright lights coming toward us, looked different then planes or helicopters, which we see all the time, completely silent, had triangle shape, mostly noticeable because lights were on the 3 corners. When it got relatively close to us, the lights seem to pull together and it then disappeared right in front of us.

Vine Grove, KY

Just before dark, I was setting off smoke bomb fireworks with my children. My daughter spotted the craft first asking kind of plane it was. We live right off of Fort Knox near the tank ranges and air field. I looked up, spotted what she saw and had no answer. My son then said, “it’s probably a ufo.” At that point I got my phone out and recorded 2 short video clips. I reviewed the clips and now I’m here. Filing this report.

Carmichael, CA

At 9:03 PM. Looking south/East from back yard at 3971 Apple Blossom Way Carmichael. A white light that looked liked a sphere about 15 to 20 FT. large or larger….about 1 mile From my location. Came Straight down from the sky stopped at about 500 or 600 FT from the ground. Hovered there for less than a min. went to the left about 600FT. Stopped then 600 FT to the right. Hovered…then about 1min later a green colored craft that looked diamond shape I be leave came up from the ground. I saw it when it was just coming above the house in front of me. And entered the white craft that was hovering. Then around 30 or 40 seconds later the white craft went straight up traveling at about 10 MPH. the light got smaller and smaller till it diapered. Both crafts were traveling at around 10 MPH. not fast at all. The green craft was blinking like bright then faded then bright again ?....the white craft was just a steady light.. Not bright but about the brightness of a car headlight. The green colored craft was also about that bright as well. This all took place in 5min I would say ?????. The green colored. Craft was about a 1/4 of the size of the white craft………… I said that I believe the crafts were about a mile from me but they could have been feather away than that I am unsure. I have never seen anything like this ever before …. I have seen strange lights in the sky before but have always been able to identify them as a star or plane or helicopter….. Never anything like this ????????? Maybe it could be something of this earth. But for now I am not sure what I saw.??????

Tipp City, OH

This is a 2nd part of the first report that I submitted earlier and the purpose is to upload additional pictures. 2 pictures that shows flying object small are the original pictures I uploaded in the first report. There are 2 additional pictures with flying objects enlarged. When I saw it, I took pictures with my smartphone and it has a good image resolution. I could enlarge the object and still have a resonable image resolution so I'm adding them here. The shape of the object looked like changing its shape. I cannot tell if the object was changing its shape or it looked like changing shape because it was rotating. In this photo, if looks more like egg shape being expanded. Please note that this is 2nd report that report the same incident from the first report. For the description of sighting incident, please look the first report in this National UFO reporting center database with the sighting date of 8:57pm July 3rd, 2022. and the location is Tipp City, OH.
