These flying objects were captured on my security camera from 12 midnight to around 5 a.m. 1/19/2022. They were so fast, you have to watch them at slow speeds.

Big round fireball was right outside the window Dr. Luis and I were arguing if it was Venus or tower I grab my phone to focus on it and I could see that it was a round fiery object with blue light plasma around it but when I took the lens off it just looks like an amber color I went to take a picture of it and it shut up Into the sky If you blinked you missed it when I looked at the picture it showed an object totally different from the light shooting up in the sky it looked more like a TicTac

I saw 3 bright orange orbs travelling south. They made no noise, it was near the Chattanooga airport. I see planes and helicopters all the time. I can hear those as well. These made no sound and we're bright orange, the color never changed as they passed. I live on a ridge overlooking the airport. They were not a plane or drone or helicopter. I tried to video and didn't get my my phone video to work, I was too excited and I'm now pissed I didn't get proof.

Red:orange Object looked like it was on fire and coming closer. Then it looked like it caught on fire and had a tail/trail of fire, looked like comet, which gave off smoke and a rumbling sound. Then it looked like the fire went out and it turned white like a star. Then it continued into space producing a conical type halo/tail behind it. We thought this was the expected asteroid but after checking the time, this object was later then the when the asteroid would have passed.

I was at work taking the trash out to the dumpster at 9 pm when in the upper western region of the nighttime sky I saw what appeared to be a crescent moon shape object forming as it travelled south. As it slowly formed over 10 to 15 seconds it was a blurry whitish color and turned reddish hue as it became more defined then it disappeared from view. The size of the object was 2 to 4 times bigger than the moon which was almost full at the time coming over the mountains to the east.

3 lights flying in a v formation. I thought they were planes, but they were too close together, and made no sound. A Jet appeared south of the lights, and the 3 lights seemed to converge into 1, and then disappeared. This all lasted about 10 seconds.

On the evening of the 18th of January, 2022, I went out back to see the skies, as is a habit every evening & dawn. I noticed the perfect orange orb over the moon & began by taking 2 photos. Then, after identifying Betelgeuse, Capella & others, I could not find my orange object in the star charts. I normally can only see planets, etc(big things)in the city. So 10 minutes later, Betelgeuse moved south but my object was still "above" the moon...it was now green & seemed closer. Not sure if it was the fact that it wasn't on a star or satellite chart or experience itself but felt very discombobulated. It remained that way until a large dark cloud covered it all. I was freezing cold, so after 25 minutes, I had to go inside. Next time out, it was not there anymore.

The objects at first sight looked like 2 mylar balloons drifting over the house behind me, coming from behind a birch tree. It was a glint of metal that gave me that first impression. I was standing in the middle of the back yard when I saw the 2 objects approaching from the south. As they reached my yard they began to veer east and pass over my back yard directly in front of me about 100-150 feet above. It was at this point that I noticed that both objects were undulating and changing shape constantly. It was almost as if they were turning in on themselves over and over again. They had almost a jellyfish like quality. There was a haze around them, and a bluish/pinkish glow. As they passed they maintained the same speed and stayed the same distance apart. The most striking feature was that they looked alive. Almost like something swimming through the sky. My dog was in the corner of the yard and remained motionless the whole time. I lost sight of the objects as they passed over to the front of the house. At this point I gathered the dog to bring her in the house. I quickly grabbed my phone and headed to the front yard, but the objects were gone. The realization of what I saw made the hair stand up on my neck. It was in many ways terrifying as I was rather close to these objects.

We were driving and noticed a few bright lights 3 all of a sudden a lot more appeared and they would disappear. They moved and together created lines, half a circle, and different lines. They would be high up and then disappear and then appear somewhere else!!! Never seen this ever!!!

The light remained the same size and brightness as it slowly fell from very high in the sky, over a 30 second period. When it appeared to be a couple thousand feet above ground, it faded to a red light for a couple seconds, then faded to a yellow glow, then faded out. It fell much slower than a shooting star or meteor. It had no tail. It had no flashing or variations in brightness until it turned red then orange. It fell at a speed that looked similar to a parachute. It must have been traveling fast, given the distance it went, but appeared to move slow, which made it very confusing to witness. I’ve seen many anomalies in the night sky, but nothing remotely similar to this.

I went outside to smoke a cigarette and as im sitting in my front yard i usually look at the stars and noticed the full moon last night wasn't in the same part of the sky so i walked out in the road looking around for the moon and i saw a ball of light it just looked like a star but very bright i kept looking for the moon trying to see if it was behind the trees and i looked back at the light and noticed it wasn't in the same spot it was farther too the right and so i stared at it for a few seconds and could see it was moving in one direction i continued looking at it for a few more seconds then ran inside to grab my binoculars and ran back out and looked at the light through my binoculars but it was too bright to make out any definitive features so i ran and grabbed my mom to get her to come see it by this time it has moved all the way across the sky but was still visible and as me and her got out side to watch it it was only visible for around 8 more seconds then it blinked out and completely vanished like the light it was emitting dimmed because it was very bright white then got dimmed down too a redish orange color that wasnt bright at all then disappeared. I also want to say i see satellites and planes all the time im always trying to see the ISS fly by but this thing was way too bright and seemed to be too low in altitude to be a satellite and planes make noises and they always have some kind of signal lights that are flashing and i also dont think this was a drone because i looked at it with my binoculars and it was so bright i couldn't see details.

I've been seeing some strange indentations and holes all around my house. Over the last year, my motion detector on my back deck has been going crazy every night. It will come on and when I look outside, I would see nothing. Last night I was looking at my security camera and there seemed to be some lights flickering on my back porch, even with the motion light out. Normally, when the motion light is out, it's so dark you cannot see anything. Today, I decided to move my camera to a position that could see more up into the air and roof of my house hoping to capture whatever it is causing my motion light to come on. When I went outside to adjust my security camera, this thing was caught flying off. I didn't see it until my fiancé noticed it when we were checking out the security footage. I'm a little shocked to say the least.

It was late in the afternoon, the sun had set when I saw this bright object flying low at a slow pace. There is an airport near my neighborhood, so I suspected it was an airplane getting ready to land. Upon closer inspection I realized that the object flying above was not making any noise/sound of any kind. When the object got closer it became obvious it was not a plane. I procured my phone from my pocket to take a picture of it. As I snapped a picture of the object it appeared to have stopped moving. I was surprised by this and then tried to get a second picture of it while it was motionless above me, but my phone started to glitch. In my haste to take another picture I started to just tap at random on my phone hoping to catch what I was seeing. I saw the object come to a complete stop and it became brighter then quickly turned in an upwards position and flew away. It arched up and over flying away from me; then suddenly before it was completely out of sight it turned sharply to the left and disappeared. Leaving an orange/yellow tail behind in its wake. The whole incident took about 1-2 minutes. This was not the first time I had seen this orb of light before, although it was the first time I was able to take a photo of it. I hadn't realized there was a video of it until I looked over my phone pics and became aware that I must of hit the video button in my haste by mistake. The video is about 3 seconds long, although the object is only in frame for about 1.5milliseconds-very fast moving orb of light! If its a man made object it was an amazing sight to see, but if it was unknown to mankind then it was incredible!! Either way what I saw was interesting and exciting to see.

I was in my car on hopewell road stopped at the light. I saw the bright object and thought it might be the meteor. It wasnt going fast like a shooting star so I just stayed at it, took a few photos and one short video. I had to drive on so I pulled into the Sunoco gas station but when I looked I couldn’t see the object. The object looked like a giant v shape, but the pictures show otherwise. My eyes are terrible so perhaps I was seeing it incorrectly. It was extremely bright, just the object and seemed to move very slowly. The color was yellow like a bright light.

I looked up at this beautiful dawn lit sky and here’s this craft hovering with multiple alternating lights. This is 1 of 2 sightings of this craft in different levels of height but hovering in the same sky. Stars were all but gone. This craft was brighter than any star and again all stars were gone. I have a video of the first sighting and you can see the multiple lights. My grandfather was a judge here for over 30yrs. He had top secret clearance and worked for the Department of Defense. I am saying this because We have seen more than simply a craft. I was walking the dogs and coming home and there it was. It stood before corregaded tin and this is how I was able to see it. It was in what I would refer to a cammo mode. I am not crazy I have never been. My grandfather Julian Medina saw these guys when they crashed. This is not the first time we’ve seen things either.

Pulsating blueish green to orangeish. Slowly moving west off shore then disappeared. No erratic movement. Movement in video was me holding camers. Not sure if this was a UFO.Just sharing. No need to contact me unless you wish too.

Was at the mall, looked up, and saw something following the planes. Not skilled enough to tell if it was a refuelling exercise or not

I was standing outside on my front porch about 8 pm when I noticed a strange white light shaped like an orb zigzag in the sky. I was very puzzled watching the object move around. I called out to my husband and daughter to come outside to see if they see the something. All three of us were very puzzled what is this object. We live not to far away from an airport and also a military base. So we are use to seeing planes all the time, so I knew that what I was looking at was not a plane or a drone since the object was very high in the sky. So for about a few minutes after this strange orb zigzaging around it came to a stop and you can see the light started changing colors from white to a orangey red and started to ascend straight up into the sky. After which it disappeared and we could no longer see it. We recorded the event as well. I was hoping that maybe you can help us or a possible explanation about this object we saw.
