My father and I saw the object in the sky while dropping off mail at the post office. The object was spectacularly bright in person. I used Sky Guide to see if it matched with any stars in the sky and it did not appear to match anything. I believe Sirius is the star visible at the beginning of the recording and the UAP is significantly brighter. I also used WolframAlpha and an air traffic app to check for any flights that would be visible overhead and none matched what we saw. We witnessed a single anomaly in the night sky. It appeared spherical and would best be described as a ball of light. It was so bright that it reminded me of the magnesium fire starter I used when I would go camping. It was not accompanied by any identifying sound. I recorded the object from the north end of the USPS parking lot while facing south (approximate (DMS) 33 29’ 35” N 117 39’ 55” W). I used my iPhone 12 Pro Max for the recording. The object was visible at the 0.5x, 1.0x, and 2.5x zoom levels available. The recording is short at just 35 seconds. Dad wanted to get home so that we could get a good nights rest for work the next day. At the end of the recording the object appears to move upward. The luminosity of the object witnessed was so bright and the size was so much larger than the stars visible that it stood out as an anomaly. The apparent sudden movement upwards at the end of the recording is also difficult to explain if it is not the result of high zoom and unsteady camera work. We saw it on the drive over and it was still visible as we drove away. I am reporting the duration as 35 seconds because that is the duration of my recording. My best guess to how long we were able to witness the anomaly is 3-5 minutes. It became obscured by the vehicle frame and surrounding structures as we drove away. On July 6,2022 at 2:57 PM a cop worker and I witnessed the computer at the station next to mine wake up its screen without anyone touching it and then begin to glitch. It looked more organized than any glitch I have ever seen. It reminded me of a spectrum analyzer display. I will include this footage with the hope you have a more mundane explanation for what caused the monitor (which was not in use though was not plugged in) to exhibit such behaviors. I am sharing this without sound because my go worker got a call and introduced himself.

I walked out of RV turned towards N to sit on patio. Lots of white clouds all at a certain level with lots of blue between and all under. I see a white-as-the clouds, square.. possibly the slightest rectangle, top to bottom, mostly square. It was atop.. the center square of 3 below it. At first I thought lost sign or banner off a plane.. realized no words or colors on it and moving as if one piece yet I could see blue sky below top and in between. I ran in to get hand scope and before I could locate and focus in, it was gone. Moved fast to NE and crossed where I see IAH planes taking off nearby and gaining altitude. Definitely crossed take off space and Air Traffic Control at IAH and other planes must of had a better view. Should have stopped take offs, don't see landings coming that way... or they have a better explanation. My boyfriend told me when he got back from haircut, people were talking about all the military aircraft in the area. I saw none and maybe they were staying out of IAH airspace as it was long gone to NE. I reported to Baytown PD. He said no other reports at that time. I am a retired Police, Fire, Medical Dispatcher. Ex-EMT. 63yrs old,, female. I have seen other strange things in the sky. Reported before and will again.

I looked up and saw a long very big rectangular shaped object that immediately started to go at a 90 degree angle behind a mountain. It looked like a hologram a very big one of a table runner

It look like a plane but it was too close to us to be a plane because it would have hit her house it had four lights that were red and it was flying slowly about 5 ft above us for approximately 20 seconds and then it disappeared because it would have hit our house because it was so close

I knew right away it was not a plane by the way it moved and I immediately took out my cell phone and began recording and what I have is this round white light it came in at incredible speed while also stopping and than darting off at an impossible speed. When I reviewed the video I zoomed in as much as I could and what I got I consider to be amazing. It clearly shows a metallic object and also this horse shoe shaped ring of light that I imagine has something to do with It's propulsion. My email is ((e-address and telephone # deleted.))

Was not an aircraft. 6 circular orbs with 20 inner lights that were hugely but distantly visible in the sky then a propulsating orb with fire darts with very unusual shape changing features with erratic propulsions moving the object in the sky

It was a little bit before 10:30pm and I was getting ready for bed. I walked to my window and immediately saw a very bright light hovering in the air far away. I knew right away that it was not a star or a plane. I grabbed my phone and opened my door and started recording. It was clearly spinning over one spot. It had several colors it would flash and then seemed to get larger, then really small before it just disappeared. After looking at a map I realized it was very close to or over Cooks inlet. Have never seen anything like that in my life. It was also a very clear night and you could very easily see stars and this was no star or plane.

I was setting up my telescope when a friend of mine stopped by. He mentioned that he had looked through a telescope but hasn’t ever actually seen anything through one. So I set up the telescope and first focus on Saturn abs have him look. Then I gave him check out Jupiter and it’s different colored layers. Then I say to him the fun part is when you point it in an area where you can’t see anything and play with the focus. I set the focus to see past Jupiter and turned the telescope 180 degrees. My friend looks through the lens and says, “What the f***, you’re going to want to see this.” When I looked I could see two of whatever they were.(I’ll include a drawing of what we saw). They were red and yellow circular in shape with multiple flame like tails trailing behind them like some kind of propulsion system. For the matter of their size the circular part at the front looked to be about the same size Jupiter has appeared maybe 2 minutes before seeing these, but the trails were massive. I looked away for a second to look at my friend and say,”whoa.” When I looked back they were gone. I instantly did a drawing of what we had seen so I wouldn’t forget. I’m a fairly decent artist although you wouldn’t be able to tell from this drawing because I did it fast so nothing would be lost from my memory. I’m pretty Good with proportions seeing as how I have to make drawings to scale for my company. But this is what they looked like.

Three Rivers, MI
Was a clear sunny day out. Saw something moving slowly near me but could not make it out what is was. Made no noise. I watched it when masked for about 3 minutes. Saw it unmasked for about 5 seconds. Large gray cigar type ship. When unmasked itself and turned toward me I could see a outer ring around the center of ship. Between ring and ship I could see some red signatures. Was their propulsion mechanism.

I was in my hot tub looking up and noticed a shiny sphere moving se at a constant speed over Martinez and Pleasant Hill. There is a municipal airport nearby, but this was not an airplane. It was clearly spherical in shape.

Whilst driving I turned forward after looking at the roadside to spot a fast moving light in the sky for about a second. Was a very pale blue and pulsated slowly. Had no apparent variation in color/shape and had no effect or haze around it. Disappeared before being obstructed by trees.

A bright large “star” appeared above the trees as we walk our dogs this evening. It was big, bright and relatively close, north of Tahuya by the Hood canal. We stop to look and it began zig zagging. Then went up and down very fast. Became stationary, the white silver color turned gold, becoming smaller and then shot into space in amazing speed. Disappeared. Beautiful!!!

I was standing on the pier at a river lot while friend had fire going quite a distance away. I suddenly saw an object appear quite low and it was almost directly over my friend at the fire. It is what I would describe as having green on two sides of the oval shape. The green was extremely bright, had an aura that could be seen in front (almost shining out), but also following behind. I assumed this could have appeared this way due to the high speed in which it moved. My friend at the fire has always been a true believer and has told me of many sightings he has had. I instantly screamed to him when I seen it to look that there’s a UFO above you. Due to distance between us, he unfortunately didn’t hear me in time and completely missed the sighting. This was my first and I’ve always been open to the idea there is something in the galaxy besides us. Why would we be the only living beings in the little bit of space we know if? Last night made me a believer. I had to see it to believe it and it was completely amazing and I never thought I would get that opportunity. Now I want to see more. My interest has definitely went up due to this!

While taking a walk around Mt. Olivet Cemetery, at the intersection of 58th Road and Brown Place, my boyfriend and I spotted 4 strange white lights in the sky that were moving around in unnatural directions and formations. The lights would go in and out of view, and as we were watching and attempting to identify them, we kept spotting more. Up to seven appeared in the sky at the same time, all hovering around each other in formations, while not seeming to be moving in any one particular predetermined direction. The lights blinked as they moved, in some of the photos we gathered they seemed to be circular, while in others they seemed to have a triangle shape, though they were too unnaturally high up in the air for the camera to capture the shape definitively. We called a friend of mine who was driving in the area, to see if she had seen anything; she also spotted these lights and described them in the same way. Twice we saw one of the white lights briefly blink to the color red before disappearing. There were airplanes that we also saw passing through the same vicinity, but much further down in the sky.

I was in my driveway talking to my wife on my phone and I noticed a object that looked like an orange ball coming from the northwest heading to the northeast. It didn't make any sound. I recorded about 51 seconds of it and I think it either vanished or disappeared into the clouds. It was very overcast that evening and the cloud deck was very low. I wasn't able to get it on video when I first saw it coming in my direction, I told my wife I was seeing something strange and I would call her back after I finished videoing the object.

Collierville, TN
I was driving north on Byhalia Rd just before the train tracks and I saw a very bright shining object, possibly cylindrical, hovering at approximately 3,000 feet. It was not shaped like a helicopter, nor was it making any noise. It was not a plane because it was not moving in a line- it appeared to be wobbling back and forth while hovering. I decided to find a safe spot to pull over and get a better look, maybe take a picture. As I was about to turn into a parking lot, it completely disappeared, as if someone flicked a switch. I continued to look around to see if it had simply moved elsewhere very quickly, but there was absolutely nothing there-nothing but clear blue sky.

Lexington, VA
On March, 19th, Saturday, at about 16:46 I was visiting Lexington, Va and I was walking my dog on Dorman Lane looking southeast. When I noticed a bright “dot” in the sky. I then noticed a jet aircraft to the left (further East) about 1-3 miles away. I estimate the jet was about 25,000 to 30,000 feet in altitude and traveling southeast towards southwest. Although a blue sky there were white fluffy clouds all around. I noticed that the bright “dot” was traveling slightly faster than the jet and the jet appeared to be following it. I grabbed my iPhone and quickly took several photos. I could clearly see the wings of the jet, and it had the typical jet contrail, however, saw no wings on the “dot” and the “dot” had no contrail at all. As it went through the clouds and reappeared several times I was able to get photos. The jet and “dot” disappeared behind a large cloud. When you enlarge the photos you cannot see much details of the “dot” but you can see the jets wings and no wings visible at all on the “dot”. No sound from the jet could be heard, due to its altitude and no other sound from the “dot” could be hurt. Since it is an iPhone and the photos are made in Live View you can press on the photo on an Apple product and see brief motion, like a short video, you can also enlarge while in video mode. Although I have uploaded photos for you to review and I retain the rights and ownership.

I looked up as a plane passed by on its final approach to San Diego airport when I notice far above the plane a small moving and shiny object. It appeared too high to be a drone. I took out my phone and started videotaping the object the best I could.

Las Vegas, NV
On the eighth floor of Boca Raton Condos facing south: I'm trying to quit smoking, so I often go to my window to quickly take two puffs and put my cigarette out. I do this all the time, and when there is a nice breeze and cool Vegas weather, I tend to linger around just enjoying the beautiful view of the mountains in the foreground. So before smoking I was just enjoying this atypically cool and breezy afternoon when I noticed something shoot up really fast from inside the large tsunami drainage canal right outside my window. It was unmistakable. I'm a critical thinker who's highly skeptical by nature. I'm not the type to confuse balloons for ET's, and while I'm a believer in the UFO phenomenon, I am the type who critically tries to debunk sightings as I think most of them are just the result of misidentification or outright fabrication. But I know what I saw, and this wasn't a dust particle in the corner of my eye, or some awkward light beam my brain failed to process. I had a direct clear view of it. It was a bright glowing basketball sized ball of light that was completely silent. I saw it just sitting there for a split second, when I stared directly at it, then it immediately rose from behind the treeline blocking the lower view of the drain canal and quickly shot up (I can see over the treeline). This was unmistakably glowing and bright. It shot straight up, extremely fast, until I lost sight of it after it pushed through the overcast layer above me. Since I'm on a higher floor I had a perfect, undeniable straight look at it rise from the bottom and then shoot straight up. I don't know what it was. It could be literally anything unexplainable from ball lightning to interdimensional demons Alex Jones is such a fan of. I'm not here to say I know what it was, but I can say what it wasn't. It wasn't a firework, it was a weird ray of light, it wasn't an optical illusion. I was looking directly at it with a completely clear mind.
