Sun City West, AZ

I was in my backyard with my dog and looked up because it was a clear sky. I saw a brightly lit, slightly oval/cylindrical object high in the sky that appeared quickly, zipped to my right (NE, I think) and disappeared. It didn't seem to go far before it disappeared. I'm sure it wasn't a comet; there was no tail of any type. It just started at one spot, flew very fast and disappeared.

Clarksville, VA

Bright ball of light that moved left then right at an average speed then straight down really fast and disappeared behind the tree line. Was straight ahead of me while I was driving. It seemed to be at some distance. I’ve seen shooting stars before and this was not a shooting star.

Globe, AZ

While driving southbound on route AZ 77, in the south eastern sky, near the upper corner of my windshield 5 lights appeared, glowing from light to very bright and then fading away within 10 seconds. They appeared in random order and elevation in the sky and appeared in a row or cluster. A few minutes after they disappeared a strange electronic type buzz rang out inside the vehicle, yet nothing could have caused such an event.

I submitted pictures but didn’t realize my sister had a video. At .54 seconds it appears to be a tic tac shaped object crosses the screen. Not sure what the rings are but I noticed the contrails at first and that is why I took a video

Waipahu, HI

My boyfriend and I were looking at the stars when he pointed out that a star or light had been moving but kind of fast. I then saw 3 move the opposite direction with one actually popping up out of nowhere and it was like the light went on, started moving then vanished again. Then what I had thought to be orions belt (pretty easy to see with the three lined up stars and it looked like the full constellation actually. We then saw the orions belt constellation moving fast to the right in the direction of ewa beach. By fast I mean it was noticable that it was moving from one side to another. It seemed to move fast yet slow enough to not be alarming. They all looked like the stars meaning small dots in the sky.

Lexington, VA

I was driving down 64 almost to Lexington. The sun was just coming up over the horizon. A bright white light caught my eye above. I look up to see this bright light dart from my left to in front of me very fast and then just disappear right in front of me. I don’t think this could have been a shooting star or plane. I’ve never seen anything move so fast and then just gone. If didn’t disappear behind a mountain or into the sun or anything like that. I had my music on and it happened so fast I don’t know if there was any sound.

Sparks, NV

I saw an object high in the sky, that I thought was a slow moving meteor entering the atmosphere moving from the NW of my position toward the S-SE. It’s speed was roughly 1/4 that of a meteor. About halfway through my field of view, the object’s speed seemed to decrease, and then, the object turned toward the west, slowed further, and the turned back toward it’s original course, and traveled out of my view. That the object turned was a surprise, and is the reason I’m writing this report. I initially thought it was a meteor, as it started as a faint light, but, the object’s brightness increased, as though it was heating up. The color of the light was not white-hot like a meteor, but, more yellow, and the light was not from a sharp point, but rather seemed to have a haze around it. I did not notice any trail of smoke or debris following it. As it traveled, the brightness did not seem to fade significantly like a meteor does as it disintegrates. Very probably, there is a simple explanation, such as a guided missile test, but, I’ve not seen nor heard of one in this area. Nor do I know where to find information thereof.

I have multiple pictures and videos of something on top of my house. It looks like a square hoverboard and it's on top of my house something is riding it and there is another figure standing next to it.

Bosie, ID

I was buying a last minute anniversary present after work and I saw strange firery lights in the sky. The lights were yellow but almost silver or metallic. Didn’t have a definitive shape. Flickered like fire. I have no idea what they were but it’s got to count as a ufo. I’ve checked news reports, found no explanation. I was alone. My wife thinks I’m just tired and overworked. I don’t want to tell other people who will judge me. I know what I saw

Richmond, KY

It was right around noon, clear sky’s and I just happened to look up to notice that the normal air traffic in the area started to change very quickly! Airplanes flying lower to the ground then normal, then helicopters maybe 4 stories off the ground. Then I noticed higher up two jet’s flying in formation side by side and at first glimpse I didn’t notice but then i saw a darker disk like object just a head of the jets. It stayed in sight for 20 to 30 seconds and all of a sudden took a hard 90 degree turn straight up and disappeared within a second. Not much longer afterwards a few Blackhawk helicopters was circling the area this went on for a few hours.

Springfield, VT

I left my parents house on Elm Hill around 7:30 to walk down the hill to my apartment. At the end of their driveway, I happened to look up (due west) and saw two large seemingly stationary objects with colored lights along the bottom. The lights on the top one made one blinking pass like Christmas lights. I observed them for maybe a minute or so. When I continued down the hill, they were still there. When I got home, I couldn’t sleep for most of the night thinking about what I saw. They were definitely not airplanes. They made no noise and did not change shape or size as long as I observed them. I now wish I would have observed them longer, but it was really cold out!

Was driving home and saw something bright in the sky that caught my attention thought it was a plane but then noticed it wasn’t and it looked like the bean in Chicago downtown sort of and as the light turned green I thought I can drive and see it and what it was but then it disssapeared like if the object had camouflaged itself

Colorado Springs, CO

I was headed home from work, on the phone with my mother, and I noticed a large black cigar shaped object in the sky, it had a very subtle curve to it, not a completely straight cylinder almost like a very long parachute or such item but without anything hanging from it. I kept eyes on it's general location all the way to my apartment parking lot, I continued to observe it from the parking lot for a few minutes. I think the full amount of time I had eyes on it was 15-20 min because that's about how long it takes for me to drive home from work. The object was in roughly the same area throughout my observation, although it may have been moving it is hard to tell as the bulk of my visual on it was while I was in a moving vehicle.

Couldn’t have been a chemtrail. It was two of them and they were too short to have been chemtrails. Stayed way too long, almost my entire drive home. Seemed like I was getting closer then would seem way off again. Could’ve been something cigar shaped, tilted downwards, two of them. Saw lights in the front, facing downward. Normally chem trails are going up or just horizontally, and you’d think the direction it were going up, would have had lights on it, not the other way around. Almost looked like something hurling TOWARDS the area. Weird.

The blue/green light flashed three times. The first time was further away and I was reading, so I didn't know quite what it was. The second time it happened, it was closer. The third time, the light filled my whole bedroom. Heard a “wom wom” for the second two times. There's nothing in my neighborhood that could've produced this sort of light or noise.

Salem, OR

My wife and I were watching Ron's Gone Wrong on HBO MAX. We were sitting in front of our living room window facing the window. As we watched the movie we noticed these bright lights that were a perfect circle "turn on" but like they were coming down. Think of like a beam of light but in dots. They were a perfect circle. No glare or anything. They came down and then went back up. As it They went back up if looked like they were being turned off. One after thee other. When it got to the top we could see or sense the unknown object leave via the right side of the window. Not fast or like any known flying object, say a plane or helicopter or drone. Tonight has been very very stormy and windy which confused us. Because it would be a plane or drone or helicopter. We both saw these strange dot lights and didn't say anything until after we saw it leave. Then we turned to each other and asked if we saw that. I explained to my wife what I saw and she verified she saw the same thing. The whole experience took around 5-8 seconds. We live on the 3rd floor of apartments. There is a small open field across from our apartments. So the top of the lights had to be way above in the sky and the bottom had to be across the small field to what seemd like the ground. Behind the field there are other apartments. The lights didn't stop behind the apartments which means they were in front of them by the field. We both sat there trying to find explanation to what we saw but remembering how stormy it was also helped verify it wasn't normal. We both felt woth blank minds. Like shock perhaps or like we couldn't believe what we saw. It wasn't normal. It would have been the starlink satellites because the lights came down. It wasn't across the sky. My wife thinks it was as if it was an object that came down turning on the lights but I feel as it was a beam of light in form of dots. We both feel like we could see the object leave slowly as if it's floating or hovering via the right side of the window. Please contact me via email as i do not answer unknowned numbers.

My fiancé and I stepped outside our business for a cigarette. We run an exotic animal rescue and actually live in the back, there is an apartment. We were talking and I was looking at the sky, the next I thing I see is 5 grey, metallic looking spheres flying very low above our business and off into the distance disappearing. When the spheres first appeared they where in an uneven triangle formation then all switched positions, some overlapping others( looked higher up in the sky). The whole event only look seconds and my fiancé saw a large flash in the sky afterward. I’ve gone through a few options of what they could such as drones or helicopter, they made absolutely no noise and it was extra quiet when they went by. They didn’t have any lights, and I got a clear shot from how low some dropped to when they split from the triangle formation. Some of our animals have been acting spooked, or even just on edge since the incident occurred. Which is odd because we have no windows in our unit, so they wouldn’t be able to see anything anyways. Sometimes you can tell if it’s man made, or even the government…this time I have no idea what I even saw, hence my reason for this report.

Caddo Gap, AR

I was out comet hunting Jan 2,2022. I did not see anything in that area of the sky, but I was intent on getting photo of comet. I would have reported earlier, but was suggested by someone that it just represented lens flare... but then others suggested the design, structure looked suspicious? Interesting? (I'm sending a small image of it). [NUFORC annotation: Camera Anomaly - Probable]

Lynnwood, WA

Hello, I've had this green bone like object for awhile and I still have no idea what it is so I thought I should file a report. I found it laying on the ground of my old place that I was renting a room from. It's green, has a brush like texture on one side. I was thinking it was a "Greenie" treat for dogs but my old landlord had no dogs whatsoever and there were no dogs on the property for atleast over 8 years. Would you know what this thing is? It doesn't appear to be a greenie or something like that.

Surf City, NC

Last month I stayed on the same stretch of beach at an ocean front beach house. I was sitting on the deck and saw this weird ‘star?’ but I noticed it moving closer to me and then back toward the pier. It would hover in certain places. I could not tell how big it was but all of a sudden the yellow star took off super fast toward the south and disappeared in seconds. So now, one month later I am on the deck at a different oceanfront beach house on the same stretch of beach at about 8:30pm and I see the light coming up the beach toward me, heading North. I recognized it immediately. It stopped about half way between me and the pier, hovering. Then all of a sudden it like heated up and cast a dimmed light onto the ocean near the shore and then took off super fast heading upwards. I followed the red dot as far as the eye could see and it took a right turn and disappeared. The light cast on the ocean told me that it was pretty big. Anyway, I am freaking out and am like damn, I did not have my camera. So I hung out again hoping it would come back so I could get video. It did not, but I was freaking out that if it did it might see me trying to capture it from the light the camera emits. I can’t believe I missed that opportunity. I have seen ufo's before in NM and a triad in St. Louis, Mo many years ago but this might be the closest I have come to an alien abduction (nervous laugh.)

caledonia, NY

i have a video of the incident. there were 3 very bright lights in the night sky, way brighter than the stars, and they were lined up in a perfectly straight line. they looked as if they were blinking or the lights were going in and out of view, not in harmony. they sat there until i went inside and it freaked me out for days now. I routinely go outside on my back deck and watch the skies at night waiting for sightings and this was outside above my house. i have it on video. i know my view of the sky very well and this was never there before which prompted me to start recording. to reassure myself that it was one giant craft or three individual craft, and not orions belt, I have been monitoring the exact position of the sighting every night at the same time and what i saw has not returned and cannot be found in my sky anywhere since the sighting. very strange. while looking in its direction my vision felt distorted like the image was wavy as well. blew my mind. my dog began acting very strange and barking and hiding under the deck table as well. hes a huge dog too. he was freightened.
