Pine Hill, AL
Caught on video a light gliding flashing in the sky after I took the video I watched it back there were 2uap and the shape was round and it flashed and it looked like was so strange the movement and when it would light up it looked huge like a hunny comb floating thru the air. The movement was totally different from what it looked like in real time so strange makes me want to know exactly what I was seeing but I do not know.

Killeen, TX
I was driving to the store to get some more supplies for some projects for the house. I took a left on East Stagecoach Road and as I was approaching W.S Young Road to turn right I noticed a Cigar shaped object approximately 300-500ft in the air. (Very low) moving relatively quickly. It was low enough for me to see no wings on the craft and as it went behind some trees around the corner. I sped up in my car to take a right on W.S. Young Road and see if I could catch a glimpse of it again. After driving down the road about 1/10 of a mile I saw it again but very far away in the distance. After that, it was gone. A conventional aircraft cannot move that quickly.

Sycamore, IL
Extremely bright light like a reflection in a mirror moving around for approximately 30 seconds back and forth across the sky and then it disappeared. It was light out and I was driving into the sun and it was still very bright. It looked like the sky was distorted around it. It was like a prismatic flashlight beam being reflected in a mirror in the sky.

Amber light sphere spotted hovering over Columbus Airport. Decided to go ahead and film it. First video is of it hovering and then crossing over the road. May have to look closely and turn the brightness up on your screen to see it pass. https://share.icloud.com/photos/06dh6_9jybt9xR8reeX7-u7OQ Sphere was stationary then began moving from right to left, crossing over the road to the left side of the street and then hovered there stationary. Second video was taken immediately after which shows it hovering stationary after passing over. https://share.icloud.com/photos/08aCt5YGocKAAhza7SJ0W2QMg Filming for documentation purposes at this point. I’ve stated what I know in prior reports so I’ll refrain from repeating myself again. -Michael

Picture was caught on a trail camera. There’s no houses or anything around for miles so it’s not a porch light

My sister's doorbell camera caught what appears to be one object entering atmosphere and abruptly turning and exiting at high speed. "Tail" of object appears to contain sparks, vapor. Video recording location is Cobb county Georgia.

Center line, MI
We were inside our house last night and all the sudden all the power went out. It was 11:00 pm, my son and I went outside as our dog was barking. We went outside and noticed there was no power or lights on our city as far as we could see. We were looking up at a totally clear sky and noticed lots and lots of clusters of white moving objects high in the sky that were flickering, they were all moving from east to west. As we were staring at these objects a gigantic white flash went across the sky to as far as the eye could see, we were a little scared. Then the sky became cloudy. Then clouds went away and more of the objects were continuing to move east to west. We didn’t get our power back til this morning around 6:00 am and DTE still has no explanation why power went out.

Independence, OR
driving backroads, saw a "bank of lights" moving, and an orangeish disc in the distance, both too low for stars and no blinking aircraft lights. bar moved quickly, until almost over us, it had colored lights and then closer to us turned all white, we sped up to move away because it appeared to moving directly at to fly over us. We turned onto bridge to go to south River Road and were between the two, and noticed the orange disc was flashing/blinking a pattern, and then looked at the bar of lights, and noticed it would remain steady, then blink back the same pattern as if communicating. We witnessed this exchange at least 5 times before turning onto mountain road where we could no longer see.

As the sun was setting in a clear sky witness 1 saw the seemingly stationary object for about 5 minutes. He told 2 and 3 to come see. 3 determined that the object was moving very slowly due east towards due south but always SSW. 3 got a spotting scope and got a clear sharp image in the scope. 1 saw half of the object. 2 and 3 saw the complete object. It was a brilliant pink (probably reflecting the setting sun) and looked exactly like two interlocking oval chain links. The sky was clear blue, no haze and cloudless. After a few minutes 3 could not see the object any more. 1 and 2 continued to see the object. 1 and 2 reported to 3 that the object spiraled quickly and the atmosphere seemed to ripple like water. 1 and. 2 both used the phrase "like a tornado". 2 said that the object then zigzagged quickly downward using the tornado description again describing a wide zigzag that tapered downward. Then 2 saw more atmospheric distortion described again as ripples in water with a distinct symmetric pattern. 2 said the object was white during the fast movement. Then the object disappeared. At about the midpoint of this event some satellite, possibly the ISS flew over going from approx SW to approx ENE very clear and bright. 1 and 2 drew sketches.

Over house behind us. I thought it might be ball lightning at first but over 2 photos I took that day it’s different number of anomalies. A friend brought it to my attention. Who knows. Just thought I’d send it in.

I was working in the yard. And kept watching the same item in the same spot for more then 10 minutes It did not move. After 4 minutes I took the four pics that you see. The first 3 same position the 3 rd turned south. I didn’t look at thes photos until 3 days later and saw the odd shape of the ufo Two same size rectangular sizes with a third out front not the same shape. It is obvious that it is not something we are use too. You all let me know what you think. Not of this world.

Corcoran, MN
Weather was sunny with only some small clouds in the far distance. Temperature about 70 degrees, surface winds about 5 to 10 mph. I was in a rural setting about two miles southwest of Corcoran City Hall. Object observed for about five seconds was long, narrow, and somewhat rectangular but irregular, about the size of a small general aviation aircraft I thought. But it seemed longer than that. It was longer than wide; its longitude was oriented east and west. It seemed to be reflecting the sun, because I was looking to the north with the sun behind me to the south, and the object was north of me. Assuming it was the size of a small aircraft, I estimate that its altitude was between 5,000 and 8,000 feet AGL (I have student pilot experience). Based on all this, I estimate that it was about a mile or two north of me and therefore was about two to three miles directly west of our Corcoran city hall. That building is roughly one mile north of Highway 10 and County Road 116 in Corcoran. What caught my attention was that the object was stationary with respect to the ground. (I immediately thought of my experience as a student pilot when my instructor slowed our fixed-wing Cessna aircraft enough so that the strong headwind kept the wings flying while our ground speed was near zero.) Then after a few seconds, the object vanished. I assume it changed position, relative to my position, so that its reflection of the sun was no longer visible to me. But I thought it was odd that I could not see it again while I continued to intently scan that area with my eyes for almost another minute. Usually you can see an aircraft again after several seconds, especially if it is stationary! It seemed too large and narrow to be a flying drone, and I highly doubt I could see that level of detail of the International Space Station from the ground with the eye.

I noticed something odd, at first dismissed the idea and thought of another airplane flying by. However as I continued to star gaze and enjoy the moon so close, the lighted aircraft began to move in unusual maneuvers. As if a kid flying a kite the movement was similar, that’s what made me think something odd and strange. It briefly disappeared only to reappear close enough to see what resumed to be any other aircraft with red and white blinking lights flying a straight pattern. There was almost no sound made when it flew by, unlike the jets that fly over daily. My dog barked most of the night, he has never done that on any other night.

I was outside with my 2 sons observing the super flower blood moon when we notice 2 bright objects with what looked like a force field around it flying in our field of view going faster than anything I’ve ever seen in my 43 years of living. I’m constantly looking in the sky and see all type of objects from Starlink, to airplanes to satellites but this was something different. As stated it was moving at a very high rate of speed. Faster than any plane or satellite I’ve seen. It left me in awe to observe it and the speed of which it was moving. It was egg shaped with what appeared to be some sort of force field around it. I was going to try and capture a picture but when I looked at my phone to open my camera the light kept me from being able to see in the dark. By the time my vision was clear again they were long gone.

After previously watching the Lunar Eclipse To our South this night. My husband, brother, sister-in-law, and I were sitting in the driveway facing the north. My sister-in-law abruptly calls out to us, asking for us to look ahead. A few hundred feet in the air was a large object that was motionless, large bright orbs. This object was diagonal to the skyline and stayed in one place for approximately 10 to 15 minutes before it completely vanished into thin air. We did contact our local law enforcement agencies to no avail. We were able to capture a couple of interesting photos from our iPhone.

We followed it to middle school in grant and it stopped I got out to take picture but it disappeared. It was really weird. So we drove around to see if we could find It and we couldn't.
