Was walking my dogs. Probably 48 degrees F. Not a sound except crickets. Out in the country near massive solar fields. Held my arm up to capture top of cornfield with fog and took the picture. Got home and noticed a black ‘dot’ on photo from I-phone. The image was a ‘live’ image so I touched the screen to see if I could tell what the black dot was and surprised to see how fast it moved across the screen. Super,super fast. No sound.

I was facing south at first when I noticed a bright green light in the sky to the west of me and I started to watch it when it started to flash the green light and started to fly away further and higher when it disappeared then all of a sudden at the original spot a bright red light was there hovering then flashing then started to move behind some clouds and disappeared again before it showed back up and started to descend before it just disappeared out of sight. I can’t tell the shape of it but I do have video and one picture. Also I called out to my dad and he seen the same thing. This was few miles to the west of my location

I routinely look up at the night sky especially when full moons are out and seen something floating around just east of the moon. It was circle shaped and it's brightness would undulate through various shades of white light. I started recording with my phone camera and when I zoomed the details showed something completely different from what I could see. The shape looks like an elongated oval with a void in the center that's circular in shape. I drove home to see it flash in and out just above the horizon during the freeway drive & when I got home it returned to it's original sighting spot next to the moon. There was only one of these objects and the whole thing lasted about 2 hours. I am the only observer. I was actually working at my second job at the LA yard moving trucks to different cities containing customer furniture. By day I am a Letter Carrier for USPS.

The object was suspicious it was a gray disk with a blue oval on top kind of in the gray oval looking like a ufo, I wasn’t sure to be exact what it was till we researched it and found this page, it was moving very slow then sped up and started blinking before disappearing I think it flew back into the sky leaving super faint blue shadows, It happened very quickly and are phones weren’t allowing us to record. We were all very anxious so that being might be why our dog was acting weird but she stood there whining and staring at the object, she wouldn’t listen to her name being called or even look at us for a good 5 minutes after whatever this object deems to be.

At approximately 1am on Sunday October 1st, 2023, my friend and I both witnessed in it’s entirety, a dark chevron/bullet shaped craft appear out of nothing roughly 20° above the horizon from the Northwest and silently scream (the best way I can describe it’s consistent high rate of speed) across the entire visible sky to the East/Southeast where it then disappeared into nothing roughly 20° above the horizon. This craft wasn’t high enough to be a plane at cruising altitude, and it wasn’t low enough to be a landing plane either. Behind the craft is what appeared to be an orange, red and black plasma trail (best description of the visual, certainly not saying it was for sure plasma), which was roughly 3 to 4 times the length of the craft itself. Unlike a contrail from a plane that will last in the sky for the period of time after the plane has traveled by, this plasma trail stayed at a consistent length and travel behind the craft the entire time it was visible. The craft wasn’t super low, but it was low enough to make out edge lines and details, such as gradients or different textures on the craft itself. On this night it was also a very bright moonlight sky, which, aided in making out the edge and shape of the craft as it was clearly contrasted against the moonlight navy sky, and it’s own black/gray coloring. I know this reporting is only available, because the people behind it believe in this kind of thing, and so do I. I don’t want to go into a long description of how I know it was not shooting star, or how I know it wasn’t a plane, or anything else that could be reasonably explained with our current means of technology. The only thing I can really say is that this has been a huge interest of mine for a long time, I’m not biased as I look at things from a logical and scientific approach. The elevation that this craft was flying at, the speed it was flying at, the way it appeared as it flew, and the fact that it made not a single speck of a sound immediately solidified in my eyes and mind as a true UAP. I have seen many things that I can’t explain in my life in the sky, I read up and keep up with all the latest UFO/UAP research and declarations made by designated teams to study these things, such as the recent NASA panel, and the very recent congressional hearing we had on UAPs. And even through all the strange things that I have seen and cannot explain myself, at the end of the day in my mind, I still said well there could be an explanation for what I saw I’m just not aware of it, a human explanation that is. But I can promise that what I saw does not have a human explanation. I am no certified expert, however, I am a very well-versed mind in the field of UFO/ UAP’s. I have taken multiple collegiate level classes at Arizona State University in astronomy, my understanding of the stars is above average in terms of our society in the United States. If I was able to record at all what I saw, aside from any evidence that is currently being withheld from the public by the governments of the world, what I saw would be the smoking gun evidence the world would need to believe UAPs. An interesting part is that in the past all the things that I have seen that I can’t explain, I have always been alone. However, for this one, which is by far exponentially the craziest thing that I have ever seen, I had a friend with me. WhileI am agnostic if you will, and really approach most of everything in life with a scientific approach, she is not. She is an extremely religious person, who does not, and has not ever given UFO/UAP the time of day she seldom looks up into the night sky. However, on this night after we got home from seeing a movie and going for a short drive, I suggested we walk to my backyard as I had this instinct, I got a gut feeling that we would see something. I said, “I bet if we walk back there, we will see within five minutes.” Not only did we see something, we saw the craziest thing either of us have ever seen in our lives. The most unexplainable thing that either of us have ever seen in our lives; and our experience and description of the craft are identical, even though our upbringing and beliefs are not. If I can find footage of what I saw, maybe from the neighbors ring door camera, and can get access to some sort of radar records of the area at that time of that night, I know that we can bring to light what we saw that night.

Ebensburg, PA
The sky was clear. I had stepped outside to see the moon. Two orange lights appeared low in the western sky streaking from west to southeast seming to be climbing. Then it vanished. Probably lasted about four seconds. It was not an aircraft, no blinking lights. I've never seen something moving that fast through the sky. The orange side-by-side lights had an orange trail behind as it streaked across the sky. There was no sound. It did not appear to be high in the sky like the airliners that fly over.

South Haven Michigan, MI
It was 10 o’clock at night on the last day of September at 10:00 PM. Myself and my friend were sitting in my you car overlooking Lake Michigan. When we both turn to the right and noticed two very bright stars that were not high in the sky. Then we noticed each one of them shut the lights off, and we immediately got out of the car and started filming. We still on for a few minutes, but we observed for 20 minutes. I took the footage with my iPhone 12 and I captured two of them. My friend, and I knew what we were saying was odd, and nothing that a plane could do in the sky, which he will be able to observe on his video.

Another chilly nite last nite and at approx 22:00hrs looking to the SE bogey! and softer bright! single spark. In a typical darker yellow colour and at a high altitude. Say above 15,000ft. Waited for usual FAA indicator lights...nada. Not even an obvious 'light' source. Strobe or no. Heading mostly E and after getting zero indication of it being commercial or known military it had my rapt attention. Typical sighting for being in LA IMO. The UAP I mean. This kind of craft is so that common place in the skies above Los Angeles that I wasn't even going to report it here. However, that's LA this is not. I watched up until it did something that again, I've observed many times prior & I'm happy to have seen again. This particular kind of object or craft has demonstrated a peculiarity right before it vanishes, a trait now seen in two different states. It performs this 'flit flit...errrrrrr, flit!' action/activity immediately before it vanishes right before your eyes. If you didn't know to look for it. IMO? You'd not ever see it... -end

Object appeared earlier on the horizon ENE to WSW from the right of the moon flying slower than an average prop airplane. It had no noise. The red light appeared to illuminate from inside. "Glowing" as it passed overhead, the light diminished and then disappeared. I couldn't see the craft any longer.

I was standing outside in our backyard waiting for my dog to go to the bathroom when a large boomerang shape UFO with no lights glided over our house. It was dark and the full moon was out so the sky was somewhat Lite. The object was grey in color and appeared to be smooth with no sound and no lights. It just glided over the house flying south. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing and yelled for my husband but by the time he came out it was gone.

I was taking a photo with some friends on the balcony of the Hunter Art Museum in Chattanooga, TN and I looked up to see a small, glowing orb. It was floating just above us. Maybe 20 ft away. Or so it seemed. I began to call the attention of my friends to it and it went out. I looked around for what I had thought was a drone, but there was nothing. I didn’t even hear what would have been a drone. I thought I was just seeing things, but I’m 100% positive it was a silent, softball size, glowing orb.

Gettysburg, PA
On the weekend of September 30- Oct 1 my wife ((deleted)) and I spent the weekend in historic Gettysburg, Pa, celebrating our 38th wedding anniversary. On the evening of September 30th 2023, at around 9 pm we were taking a guided walking ghost tour of the town. The tour guide had us stop at a few locations while he told his stories. On the last stop, the guide was standing on a side street and our group was either sitting or standing listening to him. My wife was sitting down on the curb and looking up at the guide who was doing his thing. She became distracted by a blinking object behind him in the sky- which was moving at a very fast rate of speed. She said it zigzagged- back and forth- and then pulsed left/ right, left/ right- before it moved across the sky at a constant speed. That was the part I caught very briefly on video from my I phone. I lost it in the tree cover in the parking lot after a few seconds. I also have 2 photos which I took before the video. It is difficult to see the object on the still shots unless you blow it up. It is near the center in both photos. When increased in size, it appears to be somewhat disc shaped with a reddish haze around it. There are a couple of other strange areas on the photos which may have something to do with the camera on my phone. We don't recall seeing those with our eyes, but they are interesting. If you increase the size of the still shots you can see lines under the lower clouds which do not appear to be clouds. Also a couple of bike handlebar( for lack of a better description) shaped objects higher up in the one photo. There's probably a logical explanation for all of this, but we don't know what that is. We thought maybe the blinking object was a drone, but after talking to one of our sons- who happens to be an aerospace engineer- he said they don’t move like what we described to him. The weird thing was that no one else in our group noticed this. We also looked online to see if anything was posted about this in that area, but came up with nothing. We are looking forward to have someone give us their expert opinion on this! Thank you

When I took the picture of what I thought was an unusually large moon (low to the ground) near Gaffney, SC, I saw in the developed picture 7-8 people in the street with what appeared to be their heads down. The picture was taken with my cell phone. I'm sure there is a logical explanation, but my husband and I both thought the picture was odd. [NUFORC annotation: Camera Anomaly - Probable]

I was walking outside to go and drop something off on a neighbor's porch. When I look up to the sky and see what appears to be a shooting star. At this point I am super excited because I've never seen one before in my life, so of course I'm staring and watching it and walking up closer to try and get a better view. Sadly I did not have my phone in my pocket for the one freaking time in my life and I'm so sad and disappointed in myself, that'll never happen again.! But as I'm walking up I realized what I believe to be a shooting star is not moving and as I get closer I can clearly see it is lights in the sky, there's a light and then there's space in between the light and then there's another light and then there's space in between the light and so on and so forth. It begins to look like a disc, or a bended object in the sky. As I'm watching it's slowly begins to turn and rotate in a circle clockwise. It must have spun in a circle and rotated for a solid 30 seconds in front of me before slowly becoming invisible right before my eyes and slowly began to disappear in front of me. It is legitimately the most real and scariest and exciting experience I've ever had in my entire life. I was so excited and so scared. At the same time I could have pissed my own pants.

As I was leaving my house , I realize two bright red orbs going at a very fast speed and one looks like it was following the other. I kept filming and the first one suddenly vanish , it’s not the first time I’ve witness weird activity in this area , around October last year around 10 ish at night I witness a huge laser beam in the sky and saw it slightly vanish and turn into a dot

We saw a flashing red light inside the trees. Then the whole area light up like in multiple colors. It was a huge spinning circle of lights. These flying objects have been coming to my property every night. I am terrified.

Panama City Beach, FL
I was UFO watching (I have seen more UFOs before, here at the same spot from my home.) when about 10 minutes into my UFO hunt, I spotted what looked like a fuzzy line that was appearing to dance in the sky. I pointed my camera at the line and noticed that there was about 11 orbs, vibrating in the image, they were also travelling across the sky. I took a long exposure image, 10 seconds to capture the objects, it was a success. I captured the whole 10 seconds of glory, then ran inside to get my parents, to come look at the objects, they barely made it out in time to see them over the Gulf of Mexico. I then took another 10 second exposure image of the objects, this time it was zoomed in so you can see the vibration more.

Driving in my neighborhood I saw bright circular lights over the houses. They began to make formations like a straight line. The lights scattered from a formation and slowly deminished one at a time. [NUFORC annotation: Flares - Possible]

A video tape. This light that did not blink did not change colors. Just bright white orb of that. Had a very smooth type of movement. As I was videotaping this light, I noticed there was a regular aircraft flying not far from the object. Then as it descended, it actually passed another blinking aircraft.

Me and my fiance went out onto our driveway to do work around the property when she had seen something in the sky and gotten my attention, we both witnessed an extremely large rectangular reflective object move from the left to the right slowly. the craft made zero noise, we have never seen anything even close to this. The size is larger than any plane I've ever seen, we called and made a police report with the Haywood County sheriff's office and were told by the officer that he has also seen strange things recently in the sky. Nearby animal life had gone completely silent when what we saw was closest to us, zero clouds in the sky. The weather was clear, there was nothing obstructing our view and we witnessed this craft or whatever it was for no more than 20 seconds clearly, after that we watched it through the trees and saw its speed accelerate.

Saw what looked like a bright slow moving light. Upon magnification at 100x with my S22+ phone, it was changing shape and color. It looked like an observation pod. Then changed back to a star shape. My fiance was simultaneously watching and saw the same thing through binoculars. See video and photos.

Thought I saw one take off really quick. Didn’t seem like ‘warp’ speed could have been drone fast.
