Bloomsburg, PA
I was heading west on I 80 passing the exit for Bloomsburg. It was overcast and misty. During the sunrise the clouds had a bluish pink hue. Above the highway stretching across the valley, about 80 to 100 glowing yellow/orange balls lit up, and disappeared. I coukd tell they were in the clouds as the glowing orbs cast a glow around them through the clouds. No paticular formation. Random pattern. All lit up at once.

Valrico, FL
Sharing this for a dear friend, On the morning of 2/2/22 at around 5:45 AM She was woken from sleep by a light bright enough to make her think some one turned on the light in the room. There was an object in the sky she immediately grabbed the phone and went outside to take photos, she also retrieved a camera and took a few more. The object was stationary and oriented to the east of her location. She observed for 10-15 minutes then went inside for a brief moment when she returned it was gone. Location is Valrico FL, in the Tampa area. there is an AFB base to the north the ocean to the west. She has witnessed Drones also and "dark" helicopters in her area before. appreciate any thoughts on this First four with cellphone, The others Nikon P1000. Zoom in on the small ones and you will see a very interesting object with a corona surrounding it. Looking for any information as to what this might have been. Thank you for you consideration in this matter

Aumsville, OR
While in bed I noticed a strange light just above the other homes rooftops in the neighborhood. It then split into 2 separate lights (amber in color). My wife and I were facing south as we watched, and they were headed north. The first ball maintained a constant direction and speed, while the other flight seemed more sporadic before matching the speed of the first. We opened the window thinking they were helicopters but no sound was emited. We watched them until they were over our roof. Next we ran downstairs to the front of the house to continue watching. We located the light immediately, still heading from south to north. The second light faded out as the original one continued on its path. Then a smaller light shot straight down and stopped just below the first light making a streak that faded quickly. In a clockwise motion the small ball rotated 90⁰ to the same level as the original and then shot back into the original ball. It continued to move north never changing in elevation or speed as it disappeared through the clouds. Camera footage was terrible when facing north due to bright house lights and streetlights. I am former military and have seen and been in military aircraft in combat and training, this is like nothing I've seen.

Almost as if Aurora lights emitted from or and behind or was using the Lights to power the craft. I've seen some crazy things that were unexplainable in my life. But this was truly bizarre and still has my wife and I shook up.

We looked up and saw the light in the sky it was huge. It was bright in the center and it remained stationary in the sky and it never changed its shape and it was surrounded by spiral clouds but it looked like a spiral galaxy and we watched it move in the sky from north to south along the sky and it completely remain the same shape and there was a light above it in the top left and then moved at a consistent speed with it it was very low to the ground and appeared to be right above the trees when I called and reported I was informed that a man from Harrison Arkansas had called minutes before me to report the same thing and he captured 24 images of the object in the sky that me as three other people witnessed in Mount Pleasant Texas from miles away.

Unsure if it was just a play on lighting. This was in daylight and the object appeared to be extremely large and black. Other aircraft were in the distance. I recorded the sighting on my iPhone while driving home.

The object was very abnormal. I’ve seen plenty of planes, helicopters, weather balloons, and I enjoy watching the night sky. This was nothing of the sort. The object had a chrome shiny exterior, and reflected light as if it were a mirror. It moved much faster than the planes I’ve seen, and seemed to change direction in an instant. The object stopped and remained stationary, so I grabbed my phone and began recording. I was in a work van that was pretty dirty so getting good footage was hard. I noticed the object began shimmering, before moving southwest and disappearing. My boss was the driver of the vehicle. He is a church minister, and a devoted Christian. He was the only other witness in the vehicle with me. He had trouble seeing it while driving. When I reviewed the video I took, (IPhone 13 Pro Max) I noticed a strange interference on the video that created blurry pixels on the objects near me in the video. The video is poor, but my eyesight is not.

Cave Springs, AR
I left my house between 6:07 to 6:08 AM. I turned North onto Sands Road and noticed what I initially thought was an airplane. They are extremely common as we are close to XNA airport. However, this was a very odd and large X or + (plus sign) shape. It was moving slow, just below cloud level at a slight upward angle heading North - Northwest. I watched the craft enter into the cloud layer and disappear inside. I heard no sounds of jet or prop-driven aircraft. I turned West onto Wallis Road trying to continue to view its path and turned left (South) back into the housing development main entrance. There were no vehicles present in any direction. I continued around and stopped to try to recover my view but it was gone. I was awestruck and didn't have the presence of mind or time (since it disappeared so quickly) to get out my phone for a video or photo capture. I am an aircraft enthusiast, and this was not an aircraft. The Crafts' top 2 outstretched "arms" (for lack of a better description) of the craft had (1) light at the end (white). The very center of the "X" or + (plus sign) had a RED LIGHT. The 2 Lower arms had 2 lights each (on each arm). I have made a couple of Drawings (included here) of the shape to define as best as possible, what it appeared like. It was much too large to be a drone. (This craft would have been between 50 to 100 feet in dimension. ) It was not LifeFlight, helicopter, Osprey or other military craft. The craft was silent. Nothing was audible. (I wanted to try to debunk what I saw, so I downloaded and checked Flightpath 24 software to my phone. There were 3 flights between 6 AM and about 6:15 am. None of the flight paths were over my home that morning. The closest path was several miles south. I completed a screen recording of the flight paths to try to disprove what I had just seen, but it just reinforced the reality of it. ) Background: I am a Senior Director of Business Development in consumer goods, in my 50's. I am analytical with data insight knoiwledge and skills, as well as a minor degree in computer science.

Object started following me as I entered I-75 South, heading from LaFollette, TN to Powell, TN, matching whatever speed I did. Originally white in color, round and following from about a mile away. When I got to the Powell exit, it came with 200 feet. I pulled over on exit, rolled down window and took shown picture. Did not see after turning onto main road in Powell.

Newport, WA
It was a very clear night (for a change), and I headed to bed at 12:45 a.m. Monday night/Tuesday morning. I saw a bright light that appeared to have multiple colors on it hovering above and just to the right of the red light from a tower on the top of the mountain directly across the river. I believe that is an internet "line of sight" tower. I could tell it wasn't a star because it moved strangely. It wasn't a plane because it just hovered, but not super steadily. I could see from using the tower light and the frames on my large windows as reference points that it wasn't super steady. It would move slightly in various directions, but still hover. I have some new (good) binoculars that I retrieved from my living room. I could see the object from there also. I took the binoculars back to bed, and observed it for at least 15 minutes straight. It was wider than it was tall, and the image was a bit shaky with binoculars, so I couldn't make out the shape details clearly. But there were multiple fast-moving lights that appeared to stay in constant motion. Red, yellow, green and blue lights. It wasn't stealthy at all. The lights stayed in constant motion or flashing on and off the entire time I observed it. I wanted to see it fly away and see how it moved, but I got tired. Turned over to try to sleep, probably 10 minutes later, I looked again and it was gone. I looked all over the sky to see if I could see it. Nothing. I wish I'd gone outside to see if I could hear anything, but I didn't. I didn't take pictures because I didn't think it would be clear enough. I am 100% certain it wasn't a plane or a star.

I was driving home down Central and I say lights above the donut shop, and at first I just assumed it was a lower flying air craft, but then I noticed it wasn't moving. I thought i was crazy at first so I pulled into the parking lot real quickly and get out of my car to see if I can see it better but it disappeared. The appearance was a thinner looking triangular craft dark in color, there were lights on one side of the craft but you could still see the silhouette of the triangle. I looked around in the air to see if there were other air craft it could have been but the closest one was too far a distance to how quick I turned in to park and look.

While waiting outside for a friend I noticed two bright yellow lights parallel to eachother, which almost looked like spotlights. The object was hovering at what looked like a few dozen feet above the houses when it started approaching closer to where my vehicle was located. It was at this time I started filming the object. And it approached more details became visible such as multiple yellow lights surrounding the perimeter of what started looking more and more of a disk shaped vehicle. As it got closer more lights on the object came into view such as red and orange lights blinking and/or pulsating. Object ended up flying over where I was and went away. Lights around vehicle looked white while leaving my location.

New River, AZ
Craft was sighted inbound to PHX on the Jet Arrival route from the NW. This route passes directly over my home. It was a bit brighter than the other arrivals but other wise appeared identical to the Boeing's. I am forced to include airbus. This flying machine came to an instant full stop approximately 2 miles from my position to the NW and an estimated 10,000 feet vertically. At that point the entire ship began to flash. All of this rig flashed as a white light, much larger than it's appearance when inbound on the Jet Arrival Route. This continued for approximately 2 minutes. The light then extinguished. The craft was seen no more. Background was an overcast stratus layer. Location: N33 87 3940 W112 045 3050 + - 2 miles There is so much UFO activity here it is becoming boring.

Saw a huge moving light cruising along from the northwest sky moving east. It looked like the moon looks when it's behind a cloud but the entire thing moved along with the cloud or whatever was obscuring it. It seemed close to the ground....much closer than any planes or helicopters fly. We hopped in our car to get a better look but it was gone. Alot of stars out, not much light pollution here. I watch the night sky alot & have never seen anything like this in my 52 years. My husband was dumbfounded too.

My chair where I watch TV is opposite the front door. I was sitting there as I do most of the time. My door has an arched window at the top. A large gold ring appeared in the window, which caught my eye...a half circle... coming up from the NW..from behind my neighbors house...it was very dark outside and this object was far away, but very bright and the ring shape was huge. My neighbos house is higher up than mine and across the street. (My second story is ground level to them.) Then the light changed and looked like a very bright spidery...super long light trails. And then it was a ring again, then again like a spider. It was a very large each time like it was close, but it was far away. Maybe the shape change was just my eyes or refracting on my door glass but I have never seen that happen before. I yelled to my husband in the kitchen to look in out the window, and ran into the kitchen, you could see it out the window, high in the sky over my neighbors house, but not very well through that window. We have lots of trees blocking the sky but it was incredibly bright. Still looking like a giant spidery star. I grabbed my husbands phone and ran back to the living room to the door. There is snow everywhere outside, and I had no shoes on, so I held the door open and took pictures. Instead of going straight over my house it had banked to it's left, giving me an extra few seconds to take pictures. I took two pictures, they are strange. The lights reflect down to my house, even under the eaves of my roof. The light is so bright you can't even tell it was behind many branches. I've never seen a plane or anything come that direction or be that bright, and we have had choppers fairly often. I thought I heard a hum outside but not sure where that was coming from. It is about 20 degrees outside. About a half hour later I took a third picture of the same area to make sure the street light wasn't any part of what I saw. Maybe because I was calmer than, but there was a whole different vibe outside: calmer, silent. And apparently that thing had lit up the area more. I have seen helicopters and planes at night, I always see the little lights flashing. This had no flashing lights and this was just very different to me. My husband also said he never saw anything like it before. I believe the direction it came from would be NW. Your site won't let me upload my images.

Marshall, NC
I was watching television and saw a bright light through the large doors in my living room facing north west. I initially thought it was an airplane with landing lights on. We live on a small mountain with no trees so we have a expansive view of the sky and see many airplanes but nothing has looked like this before. Why it was so odd is that when I stepped outside it looked like a full moon very out of focus and it moved slowly from NorthEast to west. I thought maybe it was an airplane behind clouds and the light was being difussed, but I realized there wasn’t a single cloud in the sky even on the horizon - no clouds whatsoever, stars were everywhere sharp and pinpointed. The orb like object took a southwest direction and went behind a tree in my yard so in the video I move my direction slightly to try to get a better view through the branches of the tree. In the video you can also see pinpointed lights below the object which are security lights from a house on the mountain in front of us. you can also hear a car on the road nearby. In the video the object looks blurred however it is not, that is how it looked to the naked eye. The video also makes it look smaller. Towards the end I noticed the light expanding outward from the center of the object further into the sky. It then went below the horizon behind a mountain and disappeared.

A bright light approached from the north. I thought it was the moon behind the clouds at first. Then I realized it was moving towards us. The glow around it was huge, from our vantage point, about 5 times the size of the moon in the night sky. We were sitting around the fire, my parents and I, and I said, "Look at that!" My parents turned around and were amazed. We watched it for the next few minutes as it veered away toward the SW. It followed the cloud line. What was strange were 4 factors. 1. No sound came from it. I expect it was 1,000 feet in the air. I fly drones, so I can somewhat estimate altitude of aircraft. 2. The glow that surrounded it was enormous and unwavering, even though it itself was quite small in comparison. It had no flashing lights. Just steady and bright. 3. As it drew near and passed by, I noticed the glow created a shape or a symbol. My mom saw that, too. The shape was that of a spiral galaxy with 2 arms. Or a pregnant "S," I guess. 4. My dad said he watched the actual object closely while my mom and I watched the glow. He said it looked as though it was swimming back and forth a bit. We thought maybe this was an optical illusion because it was going in and out behind tree branches. It's winter, so the trees are bare. But I thought I should mention everyone's account. It's possible it was a very bright light on an airplane, but the strange symbol it created the whole time it approached and departed seems to suggest either it was a very well funded prank, a military air test from the nearby base, or a UAP. In any case, I thought it was worth reporting. I am 43, Male, and my parents are 66 and 70.

I first noticed a sphere-shaped object coming from the northwest going southward at a slow speed. The description is so hard to describe. It was a round object emitting a constant yellowish light. It looked like it was muted with something film-like blanketing over it (Similar to putting a cloth over a flashlight.) The light coming from it was a steady beam with a yellowish glow. There was no sound coming from it. The object did not fly out of sight, it just faded away. This was not the ISS, I was alerted to it approximately 7:20 via my ISS app. At the same time I saw an airplane that looked to be flying at a higher altitude.

Was taking trash out and noticed a bright light in the sky. Looked up and thought it was a helicopter. Did not notice movement at first. Was in the north northeast part of the sky. Slowly moved in a generally west or southwest direction. Went in the house to get people to come and see it, they witnessed it as well but it had moved much further away and wasn’t as visible. The object was generally spherical but you could not focus on details of the object. It looked like a cloud or fog surrounded the object. It was self illuminated but, it didn’t seem to be reflecting light. The color was a bright white almost bluish with a slight purplish or red hue, but faint. Tried to drive to get a better view but never saw it again. The sky was completely clear, no high level clouds and no fog in the area that evening. There was no noise associated with the object. Could not tell if the object was very large and far away or smaller and closer. Was not starlink or space station, moved in the opposite direction of satellites/ISS. Was not a Chinese lantern. SpaceX launched that night but we are too far north to have seen anything associated with the launch.

I looked up to the sky and saw a shadow in the sky. So I photographed to see if my phone would catch it. It did. But then I thought it could be an orb. So I took video. The shadow stayed fixed. There were lights coming from it but it stayed still.
