I was going to a grocery store in Des Plaines Illinois. Saw a puff of smoke falling from above the sun on a downward trajectory. The several points of light appeared around the sun.

At exactly 7:25pm and 8 seconds on December 23rd 2021, i saw a white light flying through the sky from east to west in Dr Phillips section of Orlando, FL. It didn’t make any noise, i checked flight and satellite radars and this object was neither. at first it looked like a massive shooting star, but it just kept going and going, never disappearing. i was wondering if anyone has any home security footage from around this location and if so, could you please review it and see if you see anything around that time stamp on december 23rd? thank you!

Litchfield, NH
Driving north on on Route 3A in Litchfield right before Page Road, I noticed a light about the size of a streetlight over the forest. I slowed to a stop at the junction of 3A and Page Road and lowered my window and watched as the lights just hovered silently. Looked light Christmas lights in a diagonal orientation from top right to bottom left. Multicolored with a blinking red light in center. No sound. Not moving... I was stopped in the middle of the street and saw headlights coming up from behind so I just continued on driving to work...

I was walking my dog and was facing toward the west. I saw a star like object passing by a star. It was moving from south to north. It lasted approximately 50 seconds and then just faded out.

Columbus, OH
Around 6:35 PM as I got in to my car leaving Men's Warehouse at Easton Mall in Columbus, I noticed multiple bright red lights (approx 20 total) moving across the sky coming from the West, moving Southeast. I hung up with my mother whom I was talking to when I noticed the lights and starting filming at 6:39 PM. They were moving at a moderate pace and appeared to be moving in the same direction. A few of them were clustered in triangle shapes and one of them came close overhead but was not illuminated. The shape was about 50 feet above me, it was a dark gray oval and made no sound, my camera could still pick it up against the dark sky. My original video was too big so I had to lower rez to 185 MB, I have a 452 MB version if needed. I looked to see if there were any holiday festivals or light shows tonight and was not able to find anything in my area. Found out Chinese New Year isn't until mid Feb 2022 and the oval shape seemed inconsistent with Chinese lanterns.

Honolulu, CA
We were watching eating dinner along the beach north of the Honolulu Zoo. We saw an orange glowing sphere moving across the sky in a southerly direction. The object changes direction and moves westwards. No visible aviation lights associated with a plane or helicopter. The object turns into a distinct solid black sphere that clearly stands out in the sky and can be tracked with the naked eye as it rapidly moves westwards 2-3 miles out before descending into the ocean. We ruled out a helicopter, plane, drone, baloon, or paper lantern. We captured one photo from our phone and a 40-60 seconds of video as the object moved westerwards before descending into the sea. No blinking lights or noticible sound. A commercial airliner was flying in a perpendicular direction. The speed of the unkown sphere was travelling noticably faster than the commerical airliner as we compared the speed of both the object and airliner.

Derby, NY
I noticed a white light in the dark but clear sky. At first I thought it was a plane until I noticed the strange moving patterns. It was moving in a straight line when it suddenly appeared to drop down lower in the sky very quickly. Then it suddenly and quickly rose up higher than where it started. It even moved backward very quickly at one point and then assumed it’s original direction. These odd movements continued until it was out of my range of vision. I have never seen movement like this before. I am sorry I didn’t have my phone with me to record it. I am a retired high school science teacher who never expected to see something I cannot explain. I was outside with my dog when I saw this object.

Me And my first Cousin were jokingly trying to get abducted by Aliens. I don't feel comfortable stating all the details, but I think we may have succeeded. Neither of us have have any recollection of actually being aboard the UFO.

Orleans, MA
Leaving the house early to do some snowy owl photography, I started my car and looked up at the moon and noticed a glowing light that was moving well above the tree line towards my house. I called my girlfriend to take a look, she opened the door, confirmed what I saw and quickly closed the door. We stayed on the call and I left and it passed over the house. turning left onto the main rd it changed direction and seemed to be traveling parallel with my car. When I came to a stop sign, it also stopped. I turned right and it also turned right and continued on its original path. I checked the Flight Radar 24 app and there was no commercial/private air craft activity at that time. When the object came towards the house it was a white light, when the object was parallel with my car it still was bright white toward the front, but had different colors on the side of it. I could not make out the shape of the craft but it made absolutely no sound and left no visible trail.

I was on my back porch of my one story duplex type apartment facing North to let my dog out. I noticed about 200 yards away at about maybe 200 ft up a orange /yellow sphere traveling left to right, West to East at maybe 20 mph it seemed. Pretty low and slow. Then I noticed the second same orange/yellow sphere ahead further to the right/East traveling the same exact speed . I took a video but it was too unclear. It was silent and way too low , smooth for an aircraft as well as silent. They traveled in the West to East direction for approximately 20-30 seconds then they disappeared. I immediately called my fiancé to joke with her if I disappear, aliens took me. I am 36 and have hunted, served in the military , traveled extensively and have NEVER felt the way I did when I watched these spheres / glowing balls that night. It was almost elegant . So smooth.

During I was taking pictures of my Christmas lights in front my house. I realize it was a light on top of the mountain behind my house where no one have the access there. That light is not a regular one. I have the house picture with the light. If you come and look the areas it will be weird for a light to be there. I did not tell the neighbors about it or the HOA .

Griswold (near North Stonington border), CT
It was on a December night in 2021 that my 14 year old daughter and I had picked up my 24 year old (at the time) daughter from work and dropped her off at my mother's in Gales Ferry. We then drove home and as I made a left hand turn onto route 201, we observed some very bright lights on the left side hovering behind the trees on the farm. My daughter said she saw it as a rectangle with extremely bright lights on it while I just saw the extremely bright lights. I believe there was a car coming behind me so I drove about 100 feet ahead to a road on the right and turned around to go back and it was gone. I had also rolled my window down in the truck to hear but there wasn't any sound. My daughter was in shock, not believing it has just disappeared, I think she may have screamed. I turned the truck around and drove home, about 4 minutes down the road.

Pompano Beach, FL
This one was subtle, most people would not have noticed anything strange. It is simply a stationary illuminated object. I was on the balcony of my 27th floor condo (on the beach), which looks to the west, where I often enjoy a sunset. One evening, I observed a stationary light to the SW, making it unusual for the busy airspace. Would have said it's a helicopter, except there was no noise. While sitting on the balcony, helicopters can often be heard at a range up to 5 miles. Made a brief video with my iPhone 12 to look at later. Then forgot about it, until a week or two ago; I went to clear out my iCloud storage of old videos and photos. Took another look at it, and after zooming in, it became apparent it was not an approaching aircraft landing light. It showed a polyhedral shape to it, and seemed to show an opal like color that shifted and pulsed, but remained stationary. After enlarging, there were no apparent red or green aviation position lights. The camera seemed to retain approximate focus with the contrail remnant in the far background. I would estimate the light/UAP was maybe 3 or 4 miles east of the KFXE Fort Lauderdale Executive airport, the light being approximately 3 miles away to the South West from my position, and FXE being 6 miles away to the WSW. My ballpark estimate on the altitude would be about 2500 ft, which would be very unusual for known aircraft...the airspace boundary between FXE tower and Miami Approach/Departure is right at 2400AGL... as I have often flown out of FXE on IFR flight plans, I know that they do not assign aircraft that boundary altitude...it would create confusion as to which controller had that target. While aircraft often climb or descend through that altitude, they would not appear stationary. I did not call FXE tower, as I noted nothing unusual until some 20 months later. (Didn't bother to look at the video in detail for some time.). I am a retired Navy CDR (O-5), an ATP rated pilot with + 17,000 hours in some 60 types of aircraft. I am a retired major airline pilot, and have flown scheduled passenger service out of FXE airport. I also keep my twin engine Piper Seneca nearby and often fly in this airspace. This is my 4th observation of something strange, that I could not explain. I am also a former Field Investigator for MUFON (FL). I tried to upload the original format, but when exporting a video, Apple changes the format. If the upload isn't a full resolution view of the original video, please have someone contact me for a better way to upload. Would also appreciate someone with better video exam/enhancement skills to shed light on what this object may have been. To me, without any other explanation, this remains a simple UAP. My sources at MUFON tell me there were two other reports of "Orbs" within 24 hours of this sighting in other locations in SE Florida.

While leaving walmart the other night,, I noticed how beautiful the sky was with the sun setting. I have a pretty good camera on my phone and I'm always taking pictures, especially of the moon and night sky. I did not notice the unidentifiable object, while quickly trying to snap the last few photos I could before pulling out of walmart parking lot. It wasn't until later that evening when I got home that I was going through the pictures I took. In the first few you can see a set of 4 dim lights in a square shape behind some cloud coverage, moving around either a star or a planet in the sky. The last picture that I got to take was shot at the area of the sky about jc pennies, my heart dropped when inspecting this particular photo. I did not see this with my own eyes while taking the picture but the nature of the craft in the picture is one that I can not seem to find anything simular to online in other sighting photos. This craft had what appeared in the photo to be 4 propulsion type nozzles on the backside and 4 on the underneath. It was slender and definitely not anything I'd ever seen.

UnbelievableI took my very large telescope outside during the day with usually I want to and shockingly I saw this orange thing glowing so I followed it with the telescope and my cell phone which was very difficult but as you can see I got quite the footage in this thingChange colors changed size and if you slow down the video and enlarge it you can see that it looks like it’s got propulsion colors coming out of it

On my way home from my dr appt. I was goin to the light about to get on highway 695 to essex. I was at the red light lookin around scanning my surroundings like normal. I looked up to see the red light thinking its taking a long while to change. At that moment something weird caught my eye as i looked up. I seen three ufos or something, unsure what it was. It was in a line of 3 formation on a downward slope. The first few pics i couldn't see it well. Then i zoomed and got a few good ones. They looked like they were not even moving, just hovering there. The moved slightly down. The bottom one disappeared. 2 were left, hovering but the formation shifted. They moved slightly, but still hovering. I got to the following light, still watching them. As i was getting on the essex ramp, they all disappeared. They kind of looked like illuminated cylinders floating in the sky at an awkward angle. I thought they were meteors or something.

My boss and I were driving in North KC across the bridge that goes over the river. On the north side of the bridge about 500+ feet in the air were 60+ white/reflective flying triangles. They were flying in a spiral formation. About 1 minute after observing the spiral formation, the upper half broke off and started forming a double helix. We continued driving and didn’t manage to capture it on video. My hopes in making this report is to locate anyone who saw the UAP’s and find out more about the event. There were about 30 different cars who could’ve viewed it the same time I did.

The object moved a couple times, but I didn't catch it on video when it moved. The movement on the screen you see in the video is from me holding my phone. I had to zoom way out to capture the object. When the object moved, it moved like it had instant acceleration. The most I saw it move was about 20 times or more of its size. But, it had clearly moved in a straight line.

On Hoosick Street in Troy NY looking North East towards town of Brunswick NY over the tree line a bright circular object appeared instantly then shot rapidly towards the ground. Right before making the tree line of the woods/lake area object took a sharp hard right turn and then disappeared without leaving a trail or any visible trace of the object. Witness works in healthcare and was outside of building when looking over the tree line.

There were at least 22 orbs of warm yellow/orange light creating shapes, orbs were swirling in pairs. Looking from close to Tangerine and Twin Peaks area towards Cortaro rd. No airplanes visible except for one at the beginning. People driving in the neighborhood were all stopping, it was a huge show of lights. They were slowly gliding over the sky towards west. Slowly disappeared one by one.

The 5 objects moved independently, but coordinated. Top one flies up and to right, second one down flies right and disappears. My stepmother captured this video (she asked me to upload- she is not good with computer) and I have a similar one, but not as good because of trees. I saw an identical type of scene, except lights were white in November in Harford Co, MD. I can send if interested. My video also shows same type of coordination and they fade and vanish.
