Object looks like a light from a distance, when observed through binoculars object is moving eracticly, very fast. Object hovers. Planes don't hover, stars don't hover and satellites don't move eracticly. Many people have witnessed this, have viewed it through binoculars and can't tell what it is. I see this object every night, it follows me wherever I go. [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Probable]

Corsicana, TX
The light is beginning to dim more as I’m writing this at 2:45, but got the last 15 minuets I have been watching the light as the other 4 has been fading and coming back, only now is it becoming difficult to see. The lights are in an orientation that would be easily described as a cross, or almost the shape of a bull skull. There is one light that seems to move around the other lights as the others stay in position and fade in and out, aside from the one in the center of all the lights. In total, there is 6 lights with the tip that is closest to the strongest light being the dimmest, the arms of the cross are equal in orientation to the bright light, and along with the bottom of the cross, fade in and out. The lights continue to fade more and more as I write this, now I can only see 2-3 faint strobes along side the now much smaller center light. I have seen a UFO once before in Granbury, one that was at least 50 miles long and in the shape of a bus, but this has been the longest lasting and doesn’t align with any consultation or star pattern I have ever witnessed. With the moon basically looking like a strobe light at the moment with how bright it is and it is making the sky, I am surprised that I am able to see it. Still, in comparison to the other star consultations in the sky not a single one is showing the same signs as the lights. These lights are a bright white from where I am, and seeing as I can see the other planes coming in and out, moving through the sky while the strobes of their lights happen, I can confidently and with 100% certainty say that this is not a plane nor a set of stars. The object appears to be very very high in the atmosphere, but not in orbit or as low as a plane would be.

Date: Sunday Sept 17, 2023 Location: Ridgmar Blvd. and Green Oaks Rd Fort Worth, Texas Time: Right after sunset about 7:30 to 7:45 PM Local Wind Speed: 2 MPH from the east Description of object: Roughly Cigar shaped with irregular bumps on the sides. It was an irregular shaped object. It was a black or very dark grey color. There were no wings or other means of propulsion. It was close enough to us that that would have been easily observable. The length of the object is estimated to be 50 to 100 feet. The width at the mid-point was maybe 10 to 20 feet. Approximate speed. 30-40 MPH Altitude: Estimated 1000 to 1500 feet. Direction of travel: South East to North West Time Observed: About 5 to 10 minutes Description: Was driving east on Ridmar Blvd toward Green Oaks Road when my wife asked if I could see an object above us on the passenger side of the car. I couldn’t see the object, so when I reached the stop sign on Ridgmar Blvd at Green Oaks Rd., I put the car in park and got out to look at the object. It was at about 75 to 80 degrees above the horizon and about 1000 to 1500 feet in altitude as best as I could tell, moving slowly to the north east at about 30-40 MPH in a straight line. The sky was still very light as the sun had just gone down. I looked at it and tried to figure our what the object was. At first, the shape sort of resembled an helicopter, but there was no sound coming from the object. It was close enough to us that if it had been a helicopter, I most definitely would have heard it. It was moving toward the south end of the runway of the Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth. I know from being a drone operator and trying to fly in this exact area, that it is a restricted area and you can’t get permission to fly here. I watched it until it got approximately over the south end of the runway and then I got back in my car and moved to a store parking lot on Green Oaks Rd. I got out and watched it until it was almost out of sight in the distance. It never changed speed, direction or altitude that I could tell. My wife thought it might be a balloon, but I have never seen a balloon in that shape. There was no discernable wind at ground level and this object was very low, so I don’t think there would have been enough wind to move a balloon at that speed. By the time I thought of taking a picture of it, it was so far away it wouldn’t have shown much detail. I am an electrical engineer and a drone pilot.

Lubbock, TX
I noticed a light in the sky. I didn’t think anything seemed out of the ordinary because I was near the Lubbock airport. However, then I noticed the light was not moving, where as a plane would. So I started to pay closer attention. I then noticed the flash pattern and colors weren’t the typical pattern and colors of the planes I’m used to seeing. It also dawned on me that it’s 4 in the morning and the Lubbock airport doesn’t have commercial flights arriving or departing from about 1 am till almost 6 am. At this point I’m really curious, and I also notice, what seems to be two more lights flashing in the sky. So I started recording. My best guess is weather balloons or drones. However, I would like to report and if possible find out the logical explanation for these lights. In total there seemed to be three objects and they were flashing red and yellow/orange. I could not make out a distinguishable shape because it was night time. https://youtu.be/LYPZbkmeJd4?si=bBoOnin8ZW7SSTK1 [NUFORC annotation: Drone - Possible]

Afternotice thing when appeared to be a star in the sky. During the daylight, it seemed like there was maybe 2 very close together. Or one with to separate reflective points. That made it easy to see. I assume then with my camera 30 times and I could see that they're definitely was to separate. Reflective spots on it, but it appeared to be changing shape and color with every picture. Usually, it looks silver but then it looked pink that's covered in a reflection of the sunlight I don't know, but it did not move, so it doesn't seem to me to be something using lyft to fly cause it would need to move. Couldn't have been a satellite because again. It was stationary and it was daylight. Strange that it was above a military base. I do also have more pictures than the 4. I'm allowed to upload on this page.

On the evening of 12 September 2023 at approximately 9:37 PM while on the phone with a colleague, I walked around the back of my house and noticed an orange orb in the sky that appeared to be one and a half to 2 miles east north east of my location. It was between the Horizon and the powerlines across the street from my house. The entire sky was overcast except the southwest. The weather showed a 5 mph light wind from the north east. While trying to direct my colleague to its location he was unable to see due to an obstruction behind his house. I was trying to get my camera to focus and take a picture when after 10 seconds it begin to fade and appear to collapse in on its self. While explaining the specifics of what I have just seen, approximately four minutes later it appeared in the exact location that it was. It appeared to start as a small point of light and then expand to its previous size. It stayed the same for approximately 20 seconds then pulsated for 2 to 3 seconds before remaining steady again, then lasted a remaining 10 seconds before collapsing in on itself. I was a bright orange color that did not radiate outside of its spherical boundary. I was able to take two pictures of it on its second appearance.

As I was watching a dog walking down Grannis street, towards Easthaven Blvd, a large angular object entered my view and was approximately 10’ off the road. It passed beneath the street light, had circles that gave it a gray mottled appearance and it appeared to be approximately 16’ in length. It had no lights, made no sounds, but it startled the dog as it flew over the intersection.

I was in my back yard watering plants when I heard a large jet to my south banking toward the east. Living near the DFW airport and other smaller airports I look up quite often to identify aircraft. The aircraft I was looking at was a large USAF or Civilian aircraft cargo type gray in color. I was trying to see the markings when I noticed another very large cigar shape craft to my right traveling @ a high rate of speed with a climbing attitude. This cigar shaped craft did not appear to have wings or any to stabilize its flight. It was coming from the northwest gaining altitude as it traversed. Living very close to DFW airport this did not appear to be any aircraft I had witnessed in the past. Also, as former military I was trained to identify several aircraft as an Antiaircraft missile team chief. The altitude I would estimate @ first sight was 8,000 to 10,000 feet and as I watched it gain altitude till vanished it traveled several miles. Weather conditions were clear sky, no clouds. The object made no sound as I observed it. I have no pictures and rely only on my profession training to observe and identify aircraft.

2 lights were noticed together like Mars & a star would usually appear. Larger iron-reddish one to the right. But, I immediately noticed the smaller star, which was to the left, was too close to the larger than Mars is usually seen if Mars were out. So, I found myself keeping watching. Suddenly, the larger light one to the right expanded to a larger glowing light. I couldn't believe it. I started waking up my son. He was not waking up, I frantically told him, there is a real UFO, wake up. The two lights SUDDENLY completely left the atmosphere - like they pulled out of it extremely quickly, backward. 1 lights, looked like Mars & smaller star too close. Larger one expanded. They disappeared instantly. Suddenly, a large similar beautiful glowing large light appeared through the atmosphere over to the right of where the other two had been, but higher up than the first time. Then another same sized light came through the atmosphere to that one's left. Then another, coming in at different times than the other but one right after the other until there were a total of 5 that appeared next to each other. How beautiful I thought, but what a crazy thing, 'right there.' Is this Armageddon I wondered? Why is this happening right there? I was looking at the cars in front of me wondering what are they thinking, but got really loud now trying to wake my son up - it was serious. Suddenly, they started disappearing instantly again - my son opened his eyes, he said he saw the last one leave. This was I-25 around about mile marker 140 heading towards Las Cruces NM from El Paso. I had just left El Paso and was not clear of El Paso yet Aug. 31, 2023, my birthday. I will never forget this. The objects were size-changing lights with instant disappearance and instant reappearances - BEAUTIFUL. There were absolutely no aircraft in the vicinity, no clouds. I wondered if another country had advanced technology using reverse engineering on UFOs to hurt us. What a trip. There is nothing like this experience.

About 9:50 my daughter and I stepped outside. We were hanging out at our balcony when we spot in the sky a light coming towards us, as we continue to watch we see that is a square light with an orb in the center that is much brighter. And what seemed like clouds moving with it, the sky was completely free of all cloud cover. We continue to observe this light a few seconds longer as it shifts and disappears. The glow from it was so bright it was its own light (not what looked like exterior lights of a craft) although the craft had disappeared you could still see the square of light fade after. We have 2 videos and still frame images zoomed. Falcon 9 Starlink-101 (6-11) SpaceX SLC-40, Cape Canaveral SFS [NUFORC annotation: Rocket - Certain]

My fiancé and I were walking out of my parents house all together to leave for the night when we looked up and saw something strange. It looked at first like a large planet, but we quickly realized it was moving across the sky in south bound direction. It had a hazy cloud around it, even though the conditions were clear and there were no clouds in the sky. It emitted a a dome shaped aura in front of it as it began to disappear from sight. We all saw it but none of us are sure what we saw. Falcon 9 Starlink-101 (6-11) SpaceX SLC-40, Cape Canaveral SFS [NUFORC annotation: Rocket - Certain]

9:44 PM 08.26.2023 We were swimming in our pool and looked up to the west and saw a bright light flying to the East with a huge white cloud around it. At first glance it appeared to be a plane flying through the clouds or meteor or something of the sorts falling and then we realized that there’s not a cloud in the sky. I jumped out to grab my phone to film it and as I was looking down to it my husband said, “It’s gone.” it just vanished. Nothing to the East like a meteor dissipated or like lights went off for a moment. It just vanished. No we don’t do drugs. No we aren’t drinking. Please tell me someone else saw this???

A bright light appeared in the clear low moisture Northwest sky. It appeared to be a drone or helicopter in the low level distance with a searchlight however the altitude was difficult to judge. It was traveling parallel to the horizon, NW to SE at what appeared to be a slow rate of speed. The object did not have leave a re-entry trail. The object ultimately exhibited a plume of visible moisture or smoke from the leading portion, and disappeared. No ADSB hits at the time. There was a starlink cluster in the area but this was a single object. It was very high altitude based on video. Multiple reports from at least 5+ mile radius and possibly 200+ mile on social media.

Sitting outside on a clear night, no clouds to be seen. Facing NW, watching a football game on TV when something bright caught my eye. I looked up and there was a bright light (no color) that looked like it was flying in a haze, like a cloud and it was coming in our direction. It kinda looked like a helicopter light, but it did a slight turn to the west and there were no beacon lights or sound. Shortly after it turned there was a poof before it, like a cloud and then it disappeared. While it was flying in our direction, we checked the flight tracker and there were no aircrafts transmitting at that time. I was with four other people who witnessed it with me. Video attached is not mine, but from another witness. Falcon 9 Starlink-101 (6-11) SpaceX SLC-40, Cape Canaveral SFS Florida, United States [NUFORC annotation: Rocket - Probable]

This was my second UFO experience. My first was years ago but I was in middle school so I don’t know if it was really a UFO. While we were in our pool talking during my daughters birth day, my sister in law pointed at a light flying across at the speed of a plane and asked me if it was a shooting star or a plane. It was foggy but I couldn’t tell if there were clouds into he sky due to it being dark. I jokingly said it was a UFO and that it would disappear. Her, her friends daughter, and I just stared at it. It literally disappears 3 seconds after saying that. We were freaking out and thought maybe it just hid behind clouds, until it got bright again and her friend’s daughter and I saw it SEPARATE!!!! My sister in law wasn’t able to catch it, but her friend’s daughter and I SWEAR IT SEPARATED INTO 5 ORBS THAT ONLY LASTED HALF A SECOND.

While sitting in my backyard I viewed a rectangular object of silver/gray color traveling from southwest to northeast at approximately 20-30 mph 200 feet in the air at 70-80 degress with no sound, as it traveled away from me it suddenly moved from left to right multiple times in the blink of an eye, all the while still traveling in the northeast direction. This incident lasted approximately 15-20 seconds.
