Tualatin, OR
Location: Seen from Tualatin, OR Approx 23-26 miles south of PDX Airport Timeframe & Details Midnight - big fireworks going on from some house below me. Then at video #1 12:07 (i'm facing straight to the East and the fireworks were fairly low in the sky - just above the houses below me). Decided to go out and take a video of what my friend was missing out on, to show her in am). Went out and ended up only seeing and filming the very last firework. Clicked the phone off, and then I saw a strange large amber glow up and over a little to the right..opened the phone and snapped a pic. (I wanted to video but opened in camera mode and snapped a pic instead. 12:08 - picture. What I saw was a lot bigger visually than what the camera shows. hurried and went to video, because it looked so different from anything I've seen in the sky. It seemed to be hovering - like a helicopter would, in my mind, like it was watching the fireworks. for some reason, i waved haha. then noticed it was now moving... that's when my nerves started freaking out. 12:08 - 1st video of object- while filming, i could tell it was slowly moving in my direction, not at me, but straight from East to west. I went to move to get a better angle to video, and my sandal was frozen to the ground, so after pulling a few times, I moved and started filming again. 12:09 - Continuing the filming of the 1st object I saw. (seemingly to slowly move West/SW and possibly climbing.) Notes: 1. While watching the video back, I noticed that there was a lower object shown at the end of the video, but didn't notice it then, because when I looked back to my left, to walk back to my back door, i saw 2 more coming from same direction as first, and they were also moving very slowly. 2. From the time I started videoing the first one, in my mind, I kept repeating, I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared. I was so filled with fear. After waving and noticing the first one slowly moving somewhat in my direction, I couldn't get the image of it coming over my house and then all the other scary thoughts that go with that were running through my head.. If any of them would've come towards my house, I wouldn't have been able to continue to video. I felt that scared! 3. Because it was so cold and my nerves were on high edge, I was shaking a lot and videos were not steady. *the object's movements were very slow and steady. 4. There was what seemed like a bright, big, close star or possible satellite?? from viewing that, it can help see the movement of the objects as it/they pass in front of it. 5. It was clear - with some possible haze - I couldn't tell for sure. but I could see the constellation Orion (so small compared to "bright star' low in the south sky, which was up and further over to the west from where all the objects seemed to just blink out. At first, I thought they faded into a possible haze I couldn’t see, but really it was as if they blinked in and out a few times then just vanished. 6. Weather - Cold/freezing, but no precipitation or wind that i noticed. 7. I can send a video of typical air traffic and a map of where I am, in comparison to PDX airport. Pattern of most air traffic I see, follows I5 direction, going South to North, to the airport or north to south, away. 12:10-Video of next 2 objects and notice a third separate one in the frame. I try to turn my phone sideways - you can still track them from the steady bright white light. 12:11 Continued filming of those 3 objects, but starting with my phone sideways. talking to myself - saying that it was as if they were watching the fireworks. the movements of two objects traveling together, seemed so weird to me. Like they are separate, and doing a little dance together. 12:12 - moving to try and capture them as they moved away West, then they just seemed to flicker out.) 12:12 - tried to focus on bright white spot, to see if I could find them again. nope 12:13 - Then Saw one more coming from my left (East). I think I whispered something like "Don't scare me, Oh my God, there's another one", and I was so scared, i stopped filming sky, and started walking to my back door to go inside. Then lifted my phone to continue to film the object, while standing next to my door. *The objects did not make any sound that I could hear. At all. (And I can often hear flight traffic from planes and helicopters). Went inside, and my heart was pounding out of my chest. seemed like my fear senses were on overdrive... I was so scared that I ran up to where my friend was staying and said in a loud voice, Sheryl, Sheryl, I think I just saw ufo's - Sheryl.... She didn't respond, so I didn't want wake her. so I called my friend in MT (12:28), who I was talking with a little after 11- Sharing the videos and writing "Dude, it was closer than the picture shows, like my heart is still racing. I was so scared to be out there, like I even backed up close to the door, missing some of it, I was literally that scared." Could not go to sleep - so worried that I'd have little visitors in my room.. started texting with my sister in Mt, around 3 who happened to just respond to my earlier happy new years text. I was so grateful to be texting with her, because I was still so scared and couldn't fall asleep. I ended up only sleeping maybe 1/2 after her text, when i then woke and ended up not being able to fall back asleep. Details I shared with her. *They were a lot closer than what my camera could catch. *So scared my heart didn't stop beating hard for at least 1/2 hour. *Seemed like they were just pulsating. no flicking on and off light patterns, like typical aircrafts at night. *No other color (white,red,green, etc) other than Amber-like glow - kind of pulsating. I'd say I'd compare it to staring at a part of a candle flame. *"Moving going from east to west and I swear they seemed to be hovering around my area, before slowly moving off. I was so scared. and then they just disappeared one after the other. After moving towards West, They just kind of flickered out of sight. *Hard to tell, but it definitely seemed like some sort of vehicle - bigger than a helicopter. appeared to be between a circle and triangle, maybe Triangle with more rounded corners . possibly the amber light was deeper in color in the area under the edges. The whole bottom was this candle amber like and didn't seem like it stayed solid - color in movement like a candle would or pulsating somehow. *Seemed like they were watching the fireworks. Moved a lot steadier than what my camera captured. they kind of sometimes flicked in and out. It was so scary and amazing at the same time. The first couple seemed to literally be hovering for a while, before slowly traveling to the west. *My cat was so freaked out that I found her hiding under my bed. could be because of the fireworks, but when i finally got her out from under there, she stayed on my chest for at least an hour. (usually just sleeps on the end of my bed), and when she got up, she still laid close by my side. She was acting off all night and very skittish. I did not sleep - so scared. I wish my phone could’ve captured what my eyes saw. 1/1 11:20am Text with My uncle who is retired, but flew fighter jets, then flew for other sec of govt, then i think around 30 yrs commercial... What I wrote to him, and then his response. "I saw them hovering then moving slowly to the right, They were so much closer and larger than what seems in this video. I noticed them after watching a firework in the sky for New Year Eve. I look a little to the right and bam saw the hovering and then moving slowly to the west. He asked if the white dot was a plane - No, I think it was a low bright star (but looked bigger and closer than other stars and Orion that i could see in the sky. maybe it was close bright satalight? White dot - no movement, has slight sparkle)- you can use it to see how slow they're moving and how they move past it. Honestly as they moved to the west and maybe a little higher, they just van

Manteo, NC
Conditions: calm, overcast, ceiling perhaps 10,000 ft. Saw first object near horizon, a single solid red-orange light. Thought it might have been an aircraft taking off from Manteo Airport, but it displayed no navigation lights. Difficult to estimate size, distance, or speed, but all three seemed constant. It passed NW of my location, covering the field of view in 2–3 min. As it moved out of sight, a second appeared in the SW and behaved likewise except that it seemed to pass slightly closer. As it moved out, a third appeared and followed a parallel, but slightly closer track. As THAT moved out, a fourth appeared and passed even closer. The last three may have been redder than the first. The fourth may have exhibited very slight, rapid variations in brightness. No sound audible above background noise—fireworks in town (ca. 1 mi. SE), traffic, and so on. No one to whom I have spoken since saw these objects.

Atlanta, GA
We went outside to see fireworks for the midnight time as it was new years 2022. Exactly at midnight (a couple seconds after maybe), 2 very bright equal in size/symmetrical red light objects (circular) came from the southern (downtown Atlanta) horizon and slowly rose above and over the sky and behind my house. The objects were then seen again after passing behind the house and at which point started accelerating very fast in the same direction as it had been traveling. Altitude always stayed steady throughout the process. Shortly after this, another one was spotted - again same direction, etc identical to the prior objects (even in the direction and speed etc and light intensity) over the southern horizon. This object is the one that is video taped as noted in the evidence. However, unlike the first 2 objects (could be seen after going behind the house), this 3rd one "disappeared" after going behind the house.

I was cruising back to my house New Year's Eve night with a friend of mine just before midnight when my friend said what the heck is that. I looked up and saw multiple spheres of light slowly zigzagging upwards. I pulled over and started recording the video which I attached to this report.

Waikoloa, HI
A bright blue light shot upward from the horizon at about 11:45 pm on 12/31/21. It kept going upward in a straight line and suddenly stopped. It took a sharp left turn and continued at a high rate of speed. When it stopped in an opening in some high thin clouds it remained there for a while. It was very high up. Then it started darting in short spurts in all directions. East and back. North and back. Etc. After about 15 minutes it sped back toward the direction it came from and stopped. Then turned down and sped downward until it was out of sight at my horizon line. There was a buzzing electrical sound throughout. All told it lasted about 15-20 minutes.

San Francisco, CA
We were outside on my porch and I was facing my friends. I thought I saw a firework but there was no sound at all, and I realized no, it wasn’t a firework. I said “what’s that?!” And my 3 friends turned around and all said “…I don’t know?!” And we watched as it streaked through the sky, fiery and orange and eventually trailed off and appeared to burn out. It was fast, but all 4 of us knew we had seen a UFO. The shape, the color, the lack of sound and the movement of it were all really strange.

During a New Year’s Eve family gathering both my wife Jeannette and I took pictures of the three stars that make up Orion’s belt because the night was very clear. The next day, while examining the photos, we noticed the strange object appearing on both pictures. There were lights and various colors on the object. At the time, we didn't notice that the object was even there, therefore we didn't detect any type of motion. IMG_3765 was taken by my wife, while IMG_8282 was taken by me.

I'm a pilot and what I saw did not resemble an aircraft. 4 red lights. Might have been a single "aircraft" might have been 4 separate. Moving west to east. Apparent altitude above ground @5,000 ft. Apparent shape diamond. Very close together. Lights were steady red. Moving as a single aircraft". Lights were south of my location @5 miles. I didn't not see an object, only the lights.

It was New Years Eve at 9:50pm and I was going outside to my garage,I was approaching the side door to enter and I looked to my right south west and saw an orange light moving towards me.I thought it odd because of the color and it didn't have any marker lights like aircraft do (red and green) blinking so at that point I thought to take out my cell phone and take a picture of it. I had seen this orange light before and just watched it go across the sky and wished I taken a picture of it.Well this time I snapped pictures to show my wife who was in the house.I took some photos as it moved by me above the trees and I stopped when the object stopped moving in front of me because my flash was on and I felt a very uneasy feeling like it saw me.I don't mind saying I became concerned as I felt a fear for my safety at this time.I stared it it hovering there for about one minute and it shot straight up into the overcast.The object was moving from the southwest to the northeast and it not make any noise at all,I found this very creepy to say the least.Just after this encounter I turned around and went into my house because I was feeling a bit afraid and wanted to tell my wife what had just happened to me.I came into the my house and said to my wife I just saw a object in the sky and it was a strange color,then went on to say I took some pictures of it. I took out my phone and said here take a look and she said was it a UFO joking with me.She looked at the pictures and said that is odd and said did you enlarge the pictures and said no.We call her the cropping queen because she always crops her pictures.I went on to to do exactly that and when I zoomed in on the pictures I was shocked at the detail that was in the pictures,I'm not sure what to do with these pictures because they are not some type fake or photo shop B.S. like you see on line.I went on line and can't find anything close to what I have on my phone.I would take a lie detector test to prove I that my story is real and photos are the real deal,they offer some very interesting details that I can not explain.

At first I thought there was a helicopter trying land on my apartment it was so loud, my ears began to ring so I quickly went to look out my window and saw a ring of lights around my apartment. I ran to grab my phone to record what I was experiencing and everything stopped suddenly. Suddenly there are cars driving by and people walking outside. It’s almost as if they were gone while this was happening and when it stopped everything went back to “normal”

It was early, I was having my coffee on the porch and I see a light that changes in intensity. I grabbed my phone and recorded a little bit of it. It seems to go from small to larger and changes shape. It looked like a smaller light came from it. It finally stopped moving and I took a picture of it. It looked like it had alot holes in it almost rock-like. I went back in the house and do not know when it left.

Jupiter, FL
My husband and I formally from Washington state, we’re fishing at the Indian town bridge in Jupiter Florida. I looked up in the sky and noticed three warm/orange lights. They were in a perfect triangle formation. They were blinking on and off, and we’re sweeping eerily across the sky in unison without a sound. Completely silent in their movement. No sound of any motor, or buzzing. Just silent like the stars. The lights appeared to be a lot closer then the airplanes around the area, but way too far away and bright to be a drone. The movement of the lights were too synchronized to be drones. The moment I noticed them, I pointed it out to my husband and another fellow fisherman, who was fishing near us. We all saw the same thing. The moment we all saw the lights they started to get very dim. Until you could only see two of the lights. The third bottom light making the bottom of the triangle completely disappeared by the time I tried to take any footage or photos. The triangle formation disappeared before they went behind the bridge. I ran across the street to see if I could see it past the bridge, in the direction it was going, and it was completely gone, like it had never been in the sky.

After spotting the anomaly in 8 pix I blew up the photos, revealing groups of lights. Thought maybe a 2 stage missile, but the arrangement of the light spots did not look like any missile motor nozzle arrangement. And there were no contrails. The anomaly just showed up and disappeared over 2 minutes. So examining the close up of the anomaly, there are a few frames that the light arrangement looks different. The anomaly showed up in the photo, went up vertically , maybe 15-20 miles offshore, then back down, then up again and a couple of zig zags and disappeared. I have seen Vandenburg's launches, and this was different. Backlit, I would have seen a ship or sub launch, and this would have been a Large Rocket, so sub, ship or platform was not possible. No aircraft in the sky, and I dont know of any aircraft dropping 2 stage missiles. It was a UFO. I did not notice it live, but 2 days later scanning through photos. (Our sunsets are very pretty, so when it is clear I am shooting.). After blowing up the anomaly it does not look man made. The pictures were taken with a Samsung S7+ tablet, on an open hillside on our property. Not through a window. This was not a flare or reflection. The video is me shuttling through the 8 pictures, back and forth. I have never witnessed a UFO previously, I have seen rockets and high altitude balloons, this was neither. Pix taken 39.185203552246094, -123.75308227539062 I have a video sequence of the pictures there are 8..

I went outside to photograph a growing plume of smoke from the nearby fire using my iPhone 11. I took a photo and went inside to show my husband and when enlarging the photo saw the first shape. I then went outside to see if I could see it again and in roughly the same location, was a different shaped object. Neither object appeared to move though it was extremely windy. The photos illustrate the shape and color of the objects taken two minutes apart. Photos below include the original photo followed by an enlargement of the photo, for both objects.

UFO Event Details: ((name deleted)) ((address deleted)) Road Englewood, FL 34224 Cell: 603-209-0002 Quantity: Single Craft Angle of view: approximately 65% Myself, my wife, and a friend were enjoying a chat on the back terrace on December 29th at 9:35pm, while leaning back in our Adirondack chairs and gazing upward at the clear night sky and a full array of stars, when our friend took notice of something moving cross the sky almost perpendicular to our viewing point. She directed our attention to it and asked "is that a satellite?" An initial visual assessment quickly determined that it was not a satellite (the craft had two yellowish-white disks; presumably the drives glowing on the rear), nor was it a civilian or commercial aircraft (no running lights of any type). While we were so focused on watching this extraordinary event, I gave no thought to imaging it until it was quite a distance past us, and then took a still image vs a video… Shape (see attached rendering and also images of spacecraft models found online, which generally depict similar shape, texture, and locations of the drives): Triangular; with a ratio of what appeared to be a length of approximately 1.2 times to that of its width (ration of 1W:1.2L). The height of the craft appeared to be tapered from taller at back to a shorter front. Similar height across the width at any particular cross section. Best estimate for the height at the back is that it was approximately 1/5 of the back’s width. The crafts underside had no visible lighting attached or providing illumination; however, the underside did appear as a medium gray and was visible to view because of what I believe to be refracted artificial night lighting from the populated area below. We were able to discern that the underside appeared to have a textured surface (I hesitate to make reference to fictional materials, but the texture looked similar to the appearance of external surfaces on the Star Wars type crafts). Size was difficult to determine (I would estimate that the crafts length when overhead was approximately the size of my thumb and forefinger spaced with a 1/2” separation and held at arm’s length), but the “feel” or perception was that it was large and that the clarity of the details we observed relating to the craft were not as a result of it being at close distance (low altitude), but rather because of its voluminous size. It had a presence in that manner. There were no observable sounds that we could associate with the craft (noise pollution in our vicinity was minimal). The two yellowish white discs on the back of the craft (assumed to be the means of propulsion), showed no evidence of flame or other substance “tailing” from the openings. Their margins were clear and crisp. The images show the color to be more yellow in comparison to what we saw, which was more white with a yellowish cast. The crafts course was approximately due north to south (there were no shifts in direction), maintained a consistent relatively slow speed (the duration from when the object was sight overhead to when it was lost to view on the horizon was approximately 2 minutes, during which time we never lost visibility). Altitude was difficult to ascertain (as stated above), however a best guess would have placed it above 10K ft and as high as possibly a low orbit as I was able to compare the height of the craft to a commercial airliner flying perpendicular to the craft and down the coast on approach to what I suspect was RSW airport in Ft Myers 40+ miles away (see attached, which captures both craft in the same image). I would bet the pilots saw this object as well on their radar (if it was within the range of the equipment) and probably with their eyes, as it crossed ahead of them and they were closer (at least my perspective) to it than we were. As a point of comparison, the aircraft is visible only in the image because of its running lights, which create a wavering line in the image due to cameras lengthened exposure setting, while the craft is visible not only by the two parallel orange elliptical rings which identify the spacing of the two drives at the back, but also the nose and left-side edge of the craft which remains just-visible and still easy to see in the image. The craft is at a further distance than the airliner based on our position. My guess is that (using the image as a basis for perspective and with the understanding of the airlines typical flight path down the coast) the airliner was approximately 3-4 miles away from us and the craft was at least several times farther (if not significantly more) than that. In summary, I am a 59yo male, who has never filed a UFO report nor have I experienced anything prior that is similar to this occurrence. I am not a conspiracy theorist and although I believe in the possibility for other life in this universe outside of what we create on Earth, I do not have any predisposition to believing aliens are flying over our heads and walking among us. My daily life is that of a flooring inspector, who observes and gathers data relating to said failures and assesses their causes. While this is not my area of expertise, I believe that my prowess for making relative observation and gathering supporting data is of good quality and has been detailed above as accurately as possible. My wife and friend concur with these details and are also professionals, who have never seen or filed a report relating to this type of experience. I would appreciate a response as to what additional information can be found relating to this event.
