I was taking a picture of downtown Reno from my balcony of my apartment. After I took that picture, I sat down on my chair and leaned my head back on the wall behind me. I noticed a plane traveling from left to right. As I was following the plane, 5 white oval objects appeared directly over my head traveling in the opposite direction. At first, I thought they were birds but I immediately determined that couldn’t be the case due to their speed and formation. I then opened up my camera on my phone, placed it in video and recorded the objects for about 35 seconds. Nothing I have ever seen before with my own eyes in broad daylight. Definitely need to zoom in on the video for a good visual.

First off let me state that I am an amateur astrophotographer / astronomer. I know the difference between things such as the ISS, meteors, satellites, planes and iridium flares. On the night of May 15th I had set up my telescope to take some pictures of the lunar eclipse. I was taking pictures every 10 minutes or so to see the progression of the lunar eclipse. Soon after the moon was is the earth's shadow the stars became much more visible. That is when I saw what at first I thought was the space station since that is about how bright it appeared. As I watched it I noticed that it was cycling in brightness (approximately 2-3 seconds from maximum brightness to minimum brightness). At first I thought it could be due to very small and light clouds coming across the sky that night but it was not random and continued with a repeating cycling pattern. Also it did not cross the sky in a straight line, it did a large arc from almost straight above me then to the east and then traveled back in a SE direction. The speed did not seem consistent either (it would speed up and almost seem to be stationary at times). When it got to a point in the eastern sky it brightened one last time and immediately disappeared. I tried to get the telescope on it but I don't think I changed the settings on my camera correctly to capture it (it was set up for the eclipse). I ran in the house fast to grab my phone to see if I could get a video of it. I began recording it but could not see the object on the screen so I stopped recording. Later I checked my phone and I must have just caught it on video for maybe a second. Due to it being a screen grab of the video (or my camera moving) it appeared as a streak. You could see on the paused video that is was appeared to be a square object with lights on the corners and maybe one light in the middle of each side. I went to bed that night thinking when I woke up that I hear about it in the morning on Facebook or somewhere on the internet due to the fact that it was during the lunar eclipse and a lot of people would have been looking in the sky at this exact time, but no, nothing. I also thought maybe it was an prank with a drone but I don't think it could travel the distance it did in the short 2-3 minutes it was visible. I kept trying to explain it away but could not.

Giddings, TX
I did not see a ufo. What I saw on two different occasions, maybe a month apart, I cannot explain. Roughly a year ago or so I spoke with someone from MUFON, follow up calls went unanswered. Around the time I listed on this form I saw two things. First, I was living out side of Giddings, not many lights at night, it was quite dark out there. I was sitting on the back porch around 3am just relaxing and looking at my phone, I looked out in the pasture and I can only describe this as a patch of land 25’ by 15’ in a rectangular shape lit up. This lit area was only maybe 30 yards from where I was. Once I realized how weird this was I went in to get my camera. When I got back seconds later it was gone. I couldn’t didn’t know how to duplicate what I saw. The ground lit up like that I just can’t explain. Second was about a month later. I was inside with the door open and screen door locked. Just stretched out on the couch around 3 to 3:30 am watching YouTube stuff. The only lights on were my phone and a floor lamp near the door. Something maybe a spark got my attention near the door and looked in that direction. When I saw it every hair on my body stood up. Imagine someone peering at you from behind the door. What I saw was the shape of a head, no features, just half of a head camouflaged with colors similar to what was in the room. It wasn’t like military camouflage, just something else. When it noticed me looking at it, it slowly went back behind the door. I layed there for a few seconds trying to decide what to do. I was scared, but had to know. Jumped up and flung open the door. Nothing, just a locked screen door with no holes. Grabbed a gun and flashlight and went out side. Never found anything and didn’t sleep for several nights afterwards. I’m curious if anyone else has seen anything like what I’ve described. Would really like to know.

Me and 3 of my friends were having a fire in on of my friends back yard when we noticed a Strange long cylindrical light Ascending into The north east sky of East Syracuse NY. It made Absolutely no sound. And vanished abruptly after about 3-4 minutes.

A group of college students and myself the instructor witnessed a very large light moving rapidly across the sky. I have witnessed many space X satellites and this was not a group of objects but a single one. It was also traveling perpendicular to the bar of light. It was traveling lower than satellites and a plane was spotted a few minutes later in a similar area. The plane had typically lighting and was less that a 10th of the UFO. It was bigger than any aircraft that I am aware of. It had a single large blue light for the entire width and a faint grey outline was visible. We had time to get phones for pictures and videos and even tell others in their tents to look. It hit a clear part of the sky and disappeared without any trace or trail or indication of direction. It was actually one of the strangest experiences that myself or any of the students had ever had.

A long very brightly lit, like a row of ports along the entire length, like a jet aircraft but silent and no aircraft would have all lit windows. Its height, estimated at 10,000 feet but I could be wrong could be 5,000. I heard no noise. I have iPhone video but am not willing to share until I copyright it. It’s pretty good.

The stream of lights were motionless for about 20 seconds before I hit record. Then about 8 seconds in, it slowly disappeared. The motion is unlike any starlink sightings I’ve seen documented. Any thoughts?

I saw a cigar hover it would go completely invisible then appear - not because light turned but it would almost seem transparent at times, then I saw it “jump” like space jump - poof little trail and it was gone it was bigger than airplanes and it was just very different

This cylinder shaped object was moving at the speed of a low hanging cloud (moving east toward the lake, coming from the direction of O’Hare Airport). It had no lights and was exposed by the city glow. I checked twitter or reddit to see if anyone else had spotted it but found nothing. Was sitting with a friend on a 3rd story deck when we saw it. Wasn’t scary, just bizarre. Moments after it disappeared, a bush plane flew by where it had been.

We were driving home and we notice a bar of light flying from west to the east. It was moving very fast. It was a very bright and steady light. We can provide more details if you think it is worth it based upon the photo. We do not want to waste your time if it is something you have seen before. It was not anything we have ever seen before in Montana.

Outside at approximately 10:12 pm 4 persons suddenly saw a large aircraft size ship approximately 500-700 feet high. Ship had no propulsion system noticeable with large green lights running along the side. The ship was soundless and moved slowly through the night sky. The sky was mostly clear.

Sitting by a fire and noticed what I at first thought was a cloud, but noticed it was staying consistent and moving quickly, didn’t dull nor brighten or change shape, cigar shaped, kept a clear outline the entire time and dulled when moving behind a cloud so we know it was very distant. Moved pitch and direction while keeping same lighting and shape. The light was not as bright as the stars but very consistent and moved uniform-ally Until fading out of sight 15-20 seconds. Very large but far away and moved in a manor that showed uniformity and not consistent with anything I deem explainable.

A large oblong white object longer than any small aircraft that would travel at that height heading east horizontally and slightly south then disappeared as it went downward. It was just after sunset (picture was at 10:06pm). Stars were out and clear sky around it. Moon was fairly bright and likely full in the Southwestern sky. Absolutely no noise. No red/green lights indicating aircraft. We have a picture. A small plane flew by not long after much higher in the atmosphere which was audible and visible with visible red and green lights heading north/west.

Husband and I were driving to our hotel. I noticed and extremely large cigar shape object slowly moving in front of our vehicle. We pulled into the hotel parking lot and the object continued to move with no sound but had many lights. We filmed and took pictures and then the object shot up into the sky and disappeared.

I didn't see any object but saw various forms of unexplainable light and energy. I am currently being injured and manipulated by either an extraterrestrial or paranormal parasite. It is causing regular injury and I am now too weak to seek medical care that won't dismiss my experience or injuries as attributable to mental disorder. There are visual and audible phenomena occurring in my home; this has been going on for nearly a year. I didn't report it at first as it seemed benevolent, but it has quickly turned parasitic and malevolent.

Went out to my truck to check on my battery being charged. Looked up and saw a large plank shape object ( 2x10 ) moving at a relax pace. Clear as day in the sky, bigger than two C-5 aircrafts put together. Wouldn’t be surprised at all that was even bigger because I couldn’t really tell how hi it was. To have no wings, lights or sound, tells me it’s not natural. Watched the object fly/float over my house until I couldn’t see it anymore. I grew up around aircraft plus I was in the USAF. This was not a plane or blimp. Please get back to me, extremely curious about if anybody else seen the object.

Alvord Desert, OR
Camping on Alvord Desert playa. Full moon, clear sky, slight breeze, temps in the upper 60's. Approximately 9:20 pm my friend said " what the hell is that?" I looked up where he was pointing to the NW and there was a brightly glowing round object, visually much larger and brighter than Venus about 45 degrees up in the night sky. It was emitting a line or beam of light or plasma. The line was about 3 inches long measured between fingers at arm's length. The beam was directed SW and about 10 degrees upwards from the object. It grew brighter and then at the end of the beam another circular object started glowing brighter. After 10 seconds the whole thing looked like a brightly glowing, shimmering white barbell in space. It looked more like plasma or energy than a light or light beam. There was a halo of less brightness around where the beam was emitting, suggesting a circular structured object with the beam enitting from anterior angle from our perspective. After glowing very bright for about 30 seconds, it gradually grew dimmer and faded away over about 10 seconds This event happened in space. Visual references of the Steens Mnts below it, stars and observations of aircraft at night, we estimate this event was outer earth orbit or beyond that. It was one of the strangest things either of us have ever seen. Occupied our thoughts and conversation since. Some event of significance extraterrestrial origin and/or occurance.

I left work picked up my kid went to a friends house Saw something resembled a star I assumed it was falling star or something maybe even a lantern, because it was going straight down then It disappeared because we couldn’t see past the trees then it came back but from left part of the sky to the right I thought was odd so my daughter took a picture or filmed it and then I filmed it with my camera I don’t believe in aliens but we did see something odd . We looked for airplane lights we listened for airplane noise but it was silent and we couldn’t see the blinking lights for airplane at least I hope it was an airplane. But I wouldn’t think it would just vanish in mid air . .. regardless of what it was .. maybe there is something in the video I am wrong about idk

Two lights flying very fast from almost all the way across the horizon, gyrating around each other at different distances while keeping the same basic pattern .

Noticed a rectangle over the lake. Took a picture to zoom in and see what it was. The picture became blurred with a light. Took another picture and it appeared to have a shadow under it and appeared to be elevated over the water. As we were looking at the pictures and trying to figure out what it was, we looked up and it was gone. Took another picture and it appears there is a disturbance in the water and a fresh break in the clouds.
