I was in my yard watching a meteor shower. I noticed what looked like two stars very close together. As I watched, the object moved forward South to North. Once in awhile it hovered and then went forward in a jerky manner. All of a sudden, it changed direction and went south again. Every once in awhile it stopped and hovered. As I watched, another one appeared going from east to west. It hovered, went really fast for a moment, hovered again and went in the same jerky motion. It was way higher than a plane could ever go. They both met and continued south. Then as I watched, they went really fast and disappeared. The lights were not blinking. They were a steady white. I watched them until they disappeared. I never saw any meteorites.

At the above time, I was out on my third floor balcony, watching the meteor shower. Since we have so much light pollution, I was using a night vision scope (image intensifier type) that cuts through the bright sky. After sighting a few meteors, I spotted what I was sure was a satellite. It was the same apparent Size and brightness as the stars in the sky. It was following a straight steady course. As I watched it, I thought it was wiggling or changing speed, but I chalked that up to eye strain, etc. But then the object stopped! It froze in place and just appeared to be another star. My arms were tired already, so I watched it as long as I could and it did not move. The object was in the NE sky at about 45 degrees moving to the west. Since I was using the night scope, it is possible that it wouldn't be visible to the naked eye.

Looking at the night sky to observe the ISS, which we saw. We also saw several aircraft that appeared to be commercial jets. Shortly after seeing the ISS, we saw a very bright white light moving NW to SE. It was a round or spherical shape and was the brightest light in the sky. There were no flashing lights like an aircraft, and it made no sound. After watching for approximately 15-20 seconds, it disappeared. It did not fly away at high speed. It was not cloudy and didn’t appear to fly behind a cloud. Just there, very bright one second, and gone the next.

Marathon, TX
We were sitting and viewing due west from Marathon, TX towards Alpine, TX just after sunset in anticipation of the meteor shower. Shortly after sunset as darkness was about 90% closed in we both noticed a bright green flash over the mountains. Something like lightning, but there was no weather in the area at all—skies were completely clear. A second or two later we saw a giant array of green sparks in a circular type pattern (as if a giant fireworks display—but there was no fireworks display in the area because there is a permanent burn ban out here right now). This mass array of green sparks appeared to pulsate on and off for a period of 2-3 seconds after the flash. If I put my thumb in front of me with my arm extended, I’d say the array of green sparks in the sky would be about 3-times the size of my thumb. We both looked at each other and said, “What was that?” Neither of us had ever seen anything like that before, and we spend lots of nights under starry desert skies observing satellites and stars. Our exact location was: 30°12′34″ N 103°15′13″ W at 4060ft. Elevation facing west towards Alpine, TX, from Marathon, TX. I truly believe it was my first UFO/UAP sighting. I’m 54 years old and always been curious about them. Thanks for all the great work you do.

I am currently a college student and the other observer, my mother, is a newspaper reporter with a college degree. My mom and I went outside to observe the space station, but instead of that, we saw 4 bright orange orbs float horizontally across the sky in a perfect upside-down kite formation. When the first formation was almost out of sight, another orange orb appeared far behind the others, following the same pathing. They were completely silent.

I personally seen only a bright light coming down from the sky in a cone shape over my backyard and a hum sound. My husband heard a or growl sound. We were all inside with glass door facing backyard. Son inside upstairs also heard a loud humming rype sound. It only lasted a few seconds. We went outside everything was still and quite but our neighbors were outside. The wife said she seen what look like Alien... and her boys were saying that too. They said it was a bright light making a loud noise then instantly gone. It was really weird, a bit scary, but kinda interesting. I looked at local sites and social media but no reports as of now.

Was a clear day on Memorial Weekend with no clouds or haze. I was preparing for BBQ, looked up and noticed a silver sphere in the sky over Menlo Park, Ca. I figured it was so clear out, I was looking at something very high in the sky like a satellite. After seeing the first one, noticed it was surrounded by other spheres in a checkboard pattern, I pointed them out to my neighbor and his kids; they saw them too. I got my iphone and took a photo. They were far enough away, it's hard to see the one sphere in the photo. When I was aiming to take the photo, we all noticed they were starting to leave so I only caught one; looks like a white spot. There was no noise as they left and they seemed to just disappear, they left so fast. When they were in their pattern, they didn't move. They reflected the sun but not shiny. Were Silver like aluminum but in a matte finish. Could not see details on the spheres..

Saw strange cloud formation above while watching jets climbing after taking off from airport and other jets descending to land. I noticed something shiny moving in the clouds. Upon observation I realized it was a long cylinder moving at a high rate of speed through the cloud formation, actually appears to pass a commercial jet. I got my friend to look and two other people walking by. We all saw it and no one could explain it or the strange cloud formation. We watched until it was completely out of sight over the Atlantic ocean. None of us had our phones or cameras to take pictures. You may contact me by email

I was outside of my girlfriends family home when I looked up and saw a white tic-tac shaped object moving high in the sky with no exhaust or noise.

As described above July 30th 1970 looking out my apt window with new baby in arms on a clear day in the afternoon I saw a Massive Disk with lights around it suddenly come down from sky begin hovering close to apt building over a blacktop parking garage. This UFO was extremely quite. I was looking straight out from 4th flr window. The Parking garage was below my window with an entry courtyard access to my right where I could see other people with head stuck looking up. Then at a speed I'd never seen, the Disk zipped out of sight. Myself and about 20 other were frozen or suspended in time so I can't say the length of time of this unusual event or sightseeingI've been trying to tell what I saw since 1970. Only shared with Psychiatrist, friends and family. I don't know if anyone took my experience seriously.. Tks for allowing me to share.

Season 3 Episode 3 Mighty Ships USS Kentucky on Smithsonian Channel 5/30/22. Around the 6 minute mark of air time. There is an elliptical rotating feature around the disc shaped object that looks almost like a bird flapping it’s wings, but it’s way too fast to be a bird. See uploaded photo and video for details.

I awoke around 4:30am, and looking out the window from my position lying down in bed, I could see a bright circular looking light above the building directly across the street. As I continued to look at it, it appeared to shimmer and move. I decided to take pictures of it, because it appeared to be too far down from the sky to be a star, and it was almost light enough out that other stars were not present that I could see. When I looked at the pictures I took, they just looked like a bright light, that appeared square when you enlarged it, so I decided to take a video. When I did, I looked up and saw a similar looking light up further and to the right, which I included in the video. When viewing the video with enlargement, the lights appear to be spinning and moving. I thought that was weird. Do stars spin? I’m submitting my pictures and video for you to make a determination if they are just stars, or drones or any other type of unidentified object.

It appears that the two objects are attached somehow but the distance between them is quite a gap. While crossing the sky they remain the same distance apart.

While boar hunting at night, we heard strange sounds, like someone speaking over a megaphone but could not understand what the voice was saying. We went toward the voice, and in an open field, noticed two tandem lights, at first it looked like a bright star, until we realized it was moving up and down and side to side. The object started getting closer to us as we started taking photos and videos of it. By this time, the voice stopped talking, and the object in the sky seemed to focus on us. We drove about a mile away, to our base camp, the object seemed to follow us. Then, a second identical object flew up above the tree line where the voice was coming from and seemed to circle around the area. We watched these two object flying around for about 4 hours, until daybreak, at which point they started floating up into the sky, until they disappeared from view. The entire incident was captured by both of us on two separate phones.

I was outside smoking a cigarette, & looked up, I've seen strange lights before at this time, & saw 3 large lights, traveling southeast, I ran inside & got my 12 year old son, to make sure I had a witness. He got scared, but saw them too. I pointed out a satellite, to show him the difference of what we saw. He went inside, after I came in, I asked him what he thought, & he said it was trippy.

We were driving home late at night and on the way home is a big open highway we were both looking up at the sky when we noticed something moving extremely fast down towards the ground in front of us. It moved from the top of the sky all the way down to maybe 500 feet above ground, proceeded to make a u turn towards the sky and disappear in the blink of an eye. It maybe was the size of a truck or bigger. Very hard to tell because of how fast it was, it was a white light as well. Like an orb almost but it had more shape than a circle. No way of explaining it. I don’t understand how someone in the world could have such technology and the rest of the world not know about it

My partner and I walked out back of our house on Route 571 to check our camera footage we take of the foxes, opossums and other animals that come out at night. As we moved from the first camera to the second, I look up into the northeast sky behind our property and see what looks like a single fireball hovering a moment before slowly moving west (the same direction we were walking). The fire looked like it was swirling in like a clockwise rotation but it was difficult to tell. I only checked off the "lights on the object" box below only because the light from the fireball itself was all we could see. The aura was the sphere it seemed to make as the fire was moving. I vocalized and pointed at it to my partner to which she then noticed it as well. It must have been only for two or three minutes, but we both noted how there was no sound to it at all. We live by a four lane highway, so we are used to hearing noises of cars, but at this exact moment there was no other noise at all. The object did not move at a constant rate either. It seemed to move slow and slightly pick up speed but move slowly again. Finally, it continued northwest towards Jackson Township passed the tree line and was out of sight. The diagram attached shows the spots it sorta slowed down and when we first saw it to when we lost it. We never took our eyes off of it. Side note: Right before witnessing the craft we both heard a loud crashing sound in the development facing where the craft was. Probably unrelated.

I have a Sionyx night vision camera on tripod pointed straight up and seen this craft high enough to be illuminated from the Sun traveling from north to south. Possibly in the same altitude zone as satellites.

I watched this craft fly around and hover for half an hour! It stayed in my camera and would flash sometimes when I would ask it to. But it would move quickly and hover then move quickly. I did not realize at the bottom of my original video until I’ve viewed it that there was another craft in the lower right hand corner hovering and then moving side to side. I was focusing on the original craft. That’s two UFOS. I have the videos.

Outside with my son trying to see planets. We noticed several different satellites and initially believed it was just another satellite. It then stopped and a bright, circular flash took place. It then ascended more and continued heading west. My son said the light looked whitish and I thought there was a light pinkish cast to it.

Last night I saw 10 in a row all different lengths apart but in string formation, these weren't the star link, me and my son also saw one of the "moving stars" and out of nowhere me and him both looked in the same direction at the same spot and a huge white light or flash happened, and this was the whitest light I've ever seen, but anytime that I go out here and I ask with my thoughts to see them, I do, and my gf is always with me to see them as well, and we can tell they arent planes, planes dont fly right behind eachother like what we seen, I also on the first time I ever saw them, believe I made contact with them the same night, I was going to bed and started feeling extreme anxiety out of nowhere but nothing was wrong and then I started feeling like i was passing out and couldnt keep my eyes open, then my own thoughts told me they wouldnt hurt me and that I had to calm down for them to pull my astral body out, I lifted up my head at one point ( I believe it was my astral body) and I saw two of them at the end of my bed and felt one behind me with it's hand on my head, the two at the bottom looked childlike and very curious, almost like dolphin skin, but it looked exactly like how grays are depicted, unfortunately I couldn't stop freaking out even tho I wanted to meet them, I couldn't control my body and they said I couldn't go with them because I couldn't calm down and that they would be back again another time, and almost every night since I see them in the sky except one week where I didn't see anything, I believe I truly made some form of contact and they keep showing me their ships, and also showed my son for me I believe so he would know I wasn't crazy, unfortunately everytime I try to record I can never get anything on my phone, so I stopped trying to record the experience

Object came out of west skies heading east very very fast,then stopped for about 4 seconds or so then dropped a bit,then went slower toward the north then abruptly with out turning started heading south again and a bit quicker..that's when I dawned on me to try and record which I did till I lost it in the clouds.
