Liberty, PA

Me and my dad were out back putting caulk on the house when I saw a strange series of lights just under the clouds. It was going faster then the stars we could see but my dad still thought it/they were stars but they were going from white to purple then very light green. It was moving in a motion that made it look like it was tumbling through the sky and would always go to a triangle formation. This encounter unnerved me and made me feel like I was going to be taken away.

Atlanta, GA

It was a beautiful fall afternoon and at first I thought it was an aircraft dumping fuel. Two planes side by side dumping fuel just didn’t seem right and I couldn’t visually see an aircraft of any kind so I took out my phone and snapped a couple of pictures so I could enlarge them and see the planes. Odd, when magnified , there’s nothing in the sky leaving a trail of white smoke. Nothing at all. [NUFORC annotation: Contrail - Certain]

Colorado Springs, CO

Summary: This incident happened about a year ago - the day could be off by 1 or 2 days. I live in Northeast Colorado Springs at just under 6,800 feet elevation. From my house I have pretty expansive views of the mountains to the west and the skies over Colorado Springs. I had just retired the week prior from my job as a test engineer for GPS satellite control software and was at home. At about 3:30pm I decided to walk around my backyard. It was still about an hour before it even started to get dark (sunset about 5pm), so I was surprised to see what looked like the evening star (Venus or Jupiter), but it was so early, the sun was still visible in the late afternoon. I thought to myself - this is the brightest I've ever seen the evening star appear in the daytime. (Later, about sunset, I saw the actual evening star and it was a different object - it was not visible at 3:30pm). The sky was mostly cloudy (I'd say 75% obscured by clouds), not the high wispy ones, but cumulus clouds that obscure the sky. There were openings in the sky between the clouds. I looked to the south and I saw this 'star'- from my location, this placed it about halfway between Peterson Space Force Base and Cheyenne Mountain Air Station. Its position didn't move - as the clouds would come and go moving from right (west) to left (east) the 'star' was still in the same place. After 5-10 minutes the shape changed; it started to get bigger, fade and disperse - it grew in size up to the size of the moon before dispersing. After another cloud break it was gone, but in its place was this cigar-shaped white object with a black bottom. I could see no wings or tail. It's possible that it could have been saucer-shaped if it was being seen from a side angle - I couldn't tell. It was not the much rounder tic-tac shape seen in other reported accounts. It appeared to me to be probably above 14,000 or 15,000 feet high because the clouds were also obscuring the upper portion of Pikes Peak, which is 14,115 feet. The clouds kept moving at a pretty good clip from west to east and would repeatedly hide/show the object. At one point, I could see a regular jet flying almost directly behind it from west to east because I could see its contrail - it appeared to be the normal very small size of a jet cruising at 35,000 feet. But this object was much bigger and so had to be much closer. I would say it was about the size of a commercial airplane fuselage as it would appear at 15,000 feet; however, it didn't move. For it to be a plane, it would have to have been flying directly into the wind at the exact same speed as the wind in order for it not to move - not likely in my opinion. I thought - what a perfect location in which to spy down on one side to see Cheyenne Mountain and the other side to spy down on Peterson. It was there for at least 5 minutes and Peterson didn't launch any fighter jets to chase it. (Most of the time I can hear those louder jets take off from Peterson, but I didn't hear any). Again, I thought this thing must be visible on Peterson's or NORAD's radars, so if they didn't chase this thing, it must either be 1) some kind of known military object or 2) other object not thought to be a threat; otherwise, they would have chased it or something. They didn't. Then after another cloud break, it was gone completely. I never saw it move - it just disappeared from its location.

Auburndale, FL

I was driving home going west on us 92 towards Dairy rd in Auburndale FL. To Go home I make a right on Dairy road and turn right on Lake Ariana Blvd to go around the lake towards my home. While I was driving west on 92 towards Dairy Rd, I saw what looked like a very bright circular sign up ahead on the right side of the road. I take this route all the time at night home so I know all the business signs. I was thinking this was a horrible new sign because it was so bright that I couldn't tell what it said and that the circular shape wasn't a good idea. As I drove towards dairy rd on US 92, it started coming into focus. When it started coming into focus, it looked like it was the Moon just 20 times its normal size and not too far above the trees. It was huge and had craters, looked exactly like a large moon. I began thinking it was a super moon that I had heard of on the news and right before I made the right onto Dairy rd I slowed to take my phone camera out ! and take a picture of what I thought was a super moon. In the minute it took me to get my camera out, this huge moon had slowly and steadily floated down below the tree line where I could only see its outline glowing behind the trees. This is when it occurred to me that this was not a super moon. One the moon can't move that quickly and two at 3:22 AM the moon is not setting. I was scared and almost turned around but I couldn't see it anymore so I made the right onto dairy rd to continue home. When I got to Lake Ariana Blvd(the road that curves around the lake) I could see it had moved NE all the way across the lake in a matter of seconds. But now it looked much further away and like a glowing sun in the distance. I took two short videos of it while I was driving of it across the lake, and I will send them.

Conroe, TX

I was in a small field next to parkgate street. There was a very dim, yellowish, Amber like light, moving very fast and you could tell it was very high. It was small, but not small enough to resemble a star. It headed north east at a fast pace and left my view. Shortly after (seconds), i seen a light shoot up. It barely got brighter and resembled a shooting star going up. I looked at the ufo map and seen i wasn’t the only person to see this light in a 30 mile radius. That’s what made me find a way to contact my sighting. My girlfriend was with me, but wears glasses and could barely make it out for less than a second. There is no need to contact me, but if needed, i do not mind. I’m a 20 year old male from mexia texas. I have no criminal record as-well as no psychological problems.

green/teal colored flashing light over the Oquirrh mountains going down at a angle I thought something was crashing. I then thought I lost the flashing light when it appeared above me again making crazy flight patterns zig zagging going across the flight pattern while planes were taking off and landing. The light still flashing it was traveling at a high rate of speed when it finally went north and I lost sight of it. I was alone walking my dog around our apartment complex. It made a humming sound as well

Santa Cruz, CA

The below refers in part to materials I was not able to include because of your file limits. I can send you the materials discussed but not included via Google or We Transfer. Hello - My name is ((name dleted)). I am a music teacher and photographer who lives on the West Side of Santa Cruz, California. I am writing to ask for your help in interpreting one of the strangest things I have ever seen. It has been occurring since late October and continues each night there are no clouds or rain. On October 29th my neighbors and I first noticed two unidentifiable lights in our neighborhood - one smaller and distant, the other large and seemingly closer. I am a layman and not a scientist, but I feel like I can rule out a planet because: - they don't move position in the sky from night to night, or even week to week.They appear to return to the same coordinates each night; Both the smaller light and the large and bright one move in the sky visible to the naked eye. The smaller lights’ movement is very jagged. The brighter objects’ movement is more of a swaying back and forth. When I center the brighter object with my camera on a tripod, it moves out of frame in minutes, to the point where it is no longer visible from my vantage point. After several repositionings of the tripod, I have always had to move to a new location to continue shooting it. The brighter object has many smaller, fainter, fast moving lights near and around it that are very visible in the screen of my camera when it is in live view. The brighter object is usually accompanied by a triangular looking object that moves from frame to frame around and near it, photos 5347-5357. There is some wind, but the tripod is fixed, and to my layman’s eye it appears to show both objects moving in contrary motion to one another. I have also been videotaping the object since October 30th with my cell phone. I am enclosing a few videos and some freeze frames. In movie 1423, I was actually able to film the brighter object arriving in daylight. In movie “Video 2,” taken on 11/13/21, watch for a series of flashes, about 25 in all, starting in the upper right moving left, above and around the bright object. I did freeze frames of these flashes, which are enclosed. In movie 1579, taken November 23rd at 5:48, to the lower left of the bright object is a smaller flashing light, which when zoomed in on looks very curious, almost like a metallic, spinning hexagram. Beginning on November 10th, I started using my Nikon D750 on a tripod (although I had to move the tripod several times when the lights were moving quickly.) After observing and photographing the larger object with my 500mm lens, it seems like there is a pattern to what is occurring on a nightly basis. I want to say again that I am a layman, and so the terms and descriptions I use may not be scientific or accurate, but they describe what a layman has seen and photographed on several nights. The object arrives as a sphere (Movie 1423, taken November 6th at 6:27pm). It seems to grow in size and brightness and then goes through a series of intense flashes, lasting several seconds, where the intensity of the light increases, and the sphere appears to change shape. In the photos where the sphere is not a sphere any longer, for lack of any other way to describe it, multi-colored, worm-like objects that to my layman’s eye resemble DNA strands fill the entire sky. To my unscientific eye they appear to be clones of the object in some way, because these “DNA strands” are the exact shape of the nearby object as it flashes with different shapes in each of these photos. I have taken photos of this on a few different nights. Photos 4812-4912 are from 11/10/21 at 7:55pm. Photos 5615, 5677, and 5691 were taken on 11/17 at 8:30pm and show very similar images to 11/10. 5691 shows a stick like object that appears in many other photos. The last series of photos from 11/24/21 are for me the most puzzling and the most disturbing. I can only describe it in my very unscientific terms. During this stage the object moves a lot, and so I was struggling to keep up with it. They show the main, bright object being surrounded by multi-colored projectiles of some sort. I struggled to get the first shots of this, photos 5364-5378, which are partially obscured by the trees. (One interesting thing to note is the way the triangular object is visible even through the tree in photo 5364). In photo sequence 5379-5385, I got a clear shot of this head on. The projectiles surround the bright object and seemingly penetrate it like sperm to an ovum for lack of a better metaphor, exploding out the other side of the object with a great flash of energy. On November 17th I captured the same images a third time just before the object moved and went out of range, photos 5781-5794. I have many more images that I can send that span several weeks if you are interested. I am simply looking for a scientific, rational explanation for what I have filmed and photographed. Thank you so much for your help!

Norfolk, VA

Setting: Driver of a vehicle, overcast, medium to light traffic, headed northbound recently passing the Hampton Coliseum (~exit 263). I Saw(1): A massive ship "moving slowly across all lanes of the highway just above the trees, slowly enough for me to observe the ship with great detail approaching it. I am pretty sure I was in a state of awe as I kept driving. MAYBE Missing time: I was on a short timeline to meet my brother in Richmond. No planned stops (full gas) 1.5ish hr drive. I don't recall pulling over (I am the type of person that, when I drive, I don't like to stop if I don't have to) I Saw (2): I am in a parking lot at a fast food restaurant (don't remember) in my vehicle (backed in a parking spot) just off of the highway I was just on. Not enough time to process until I immediately see the ship again, and I am put into another state of awe. It's just over the highway still where I need to go. I remember getting back on the highway and eventually passing under the ship. I was able to get an extremely good look at the underside of the craft (huge ship) while leaning forwarding looking up through my windshield. The craft was so long you could not see end to end of the ship when it was perpendicular to the highway from my vantage point. The odd thing is I remember seeing the ship from two very different angles. The first sighting occurred after just passing the Hampton Coliseum, and again while in my parked vehicle at a fast-food place (I didn't have food in the vehicle) on a trip I never make a stop on. I am not sure if the gap in time was just from my inability to process the situation or if I simply pulled over in shock. I have a Garmin Dashcam. I remember trying to have it recorded but it was not responding to my commands. No footage was saved when I checked the SD Card. Ship description: (A VERY similar ship that I could say it looks like is the Arbitrator, from EVE Online... Seriously). Had characteristics of a V but not the flying V you can find in popular UFO google searches) -Green, red, and sometimes blue flashing lights. -Red "under-dome" -Metal plating, clayish to rust color. -Piping and cables were black and situated behind the plating -exposed "intricacies" between the "gapped" outer plating -Silent -It's movement in the air was "glitchy"

Jupiter, MO

I was in town to play a concert at Guanabanas restaurant and was waiting to go onstage at the outdoor venue. While backstage I was staring at the night sky which was already looking eerie to me so much so that I was taking pics and videos of what I thought might be UFO’s far away in the sky, 3 bright lights perfectly aligned in the sky, left, center and right, but miles apart. I thought they could maybe be planes but I was stunned by how perfectly aligned and steady they were. If they were planes they would eventually get bigger but they all 3 just hovered for a long time. I took more video and after a few minutes I lost interest and figured it had to be planes or 3 perfectly aligned bright stars like Orion’s Belt but much much further apart, if you were on a beach looking at the water, the left light would be all the way left to where you would have to turn your head left to see it and same with the right light. They were pretty far apart but perfectly aligned. Anyways I turned my camera off and literally looked up for about 10 seconds and then suddenly and without any sound at all, a giant translucent triangle maybe the size of 2 Cessna planes flew right over me at tree top level, incredibly close and silent. It had no lights, and nothing solid that I could see as far as a physical body with paint, it was just a completely see through triangle structure that had a greenish tint to it but I could see the clouds through it as it went by me. I tried to grab my phone and take a picture but it had already passed over me and I was in a grove of palm trees and couldn’t see it anymore once it passed. I know there are street cams and beach cams within a block that had to have captured it, as it was flying so low, right above the palm trees and it’s north Miami pretty much, let alone private cameras from businesses and residents. It absolutely blew my mind and I have no idea what it could have been. Perfect triangle shape. Flying slowly but too fast for me to get my camera out of my pocket. It didn’t change color so much as it just was translucent and kind of just became the color it was against, dark blue in the night sky but then I could see the clouds through it so it was white in spots, then as it passed changed back to the night sky blue. It blew my mind.

Hemet, CA

Around 7:45-8pm at an outdoor birthday party I witnessed a bright amber/orange light at about 55 degrees due south. The light was noticably bright amber/orange. I called to others attention. The light was slowly moving in a N/W direction, then stopped and hovered for about 30 seconds then slowly dimmed to darkness. Witnesses were perplexed as to what it was and began to rule out possibilities. As the party continued, about 4 minutes later the object light return in a different location, same horizontal altitude, but a bit father N/W. As I drew witnesses to its attention again it began dimming within 30 seconds and once again disappeared. It did not return. The distance of the object to our location appeared to be over the Temecula or Pala Mesa area.

saint augustine, FL

I was by myself sitting at a traffic light while exiting southbound Interstate 95 onto State Road 16. While sitting at the red light I looked up and to my left. I saw a circular light hovering in the sky. It was a picture perfect day with no clouds. Whatever it was it was, it off in the distance, so it was hard to tell what exactly I was seeing. I snapped a pic while sitting at the light, simply to look at it later. The traffic light turned green and I started to turn left. At that moment, I saw something moving fast with a thick contrail coming from the ground from west to east toward it. I instantly thought it was a missile. Then my vision was obstructed for a few moments while driving. When the obstruction cleared, it was a sign as memory serves, I pulled over and took the additional picture and whatever it the light was, it was gone. All that was left was the remnants of the contrail. I filed a FOIA request for radar returns for the Saint Augustine airport for the time of the incident. The airport is approximately five miles away. I got the runaround. I kept getting asked why I wanted it. The last thing I wanted was to tell the U.S. government what I had seen. I let it die there. I'm only coming forward now, because I stumbled across the pic in my PC while rearranging picture folders. I hold a FAA Commercial certificate, but haven't flown in 20 years do to health issues. I never flew airline aircraft, but owned a flight school for several years. I had never seen anything like this in all my years of watching and being in the sky.

San Clemente, CA

My girlfriend and I were leaving the beach and walking along the bike path at Trestles beach. There were super clear skies and the sun had just set. As we walked we watched the sky change colors from the sunset and I noticed a bright white star which I guessed was a planet. As we kept walking I noticed an even larger light in the sky which at first glance looked like Mars. It was bigger than the other planet we saw and was bright orange and red. I thought it odd because its size was much bigger than usual. Maybe twice as big as Saturn in the night sky. I mentioned it to my girlfriend and we were both curious about what it could be. We talked about it a bit and both thought it was odd. So I set my bags down and got out my phone and opened the Star Walk App. I lifted it up to see what the object could be and the object was gone. I then pointed the Star Walk App at the other planet we saw and that was Saturn. Then went back to the area in the sky whe! re the Orange ball had been. I could almost still see it but it was much smaller - like it had traveled much farther away in a matter of seconds. Then I noticed on the App that Mars was in rotation ahead of the Sun and had set below the horizon earlier - so no way it was Mars. Not anything we could clearly confirm but definitely one of the oddest things I’ve seen in the sky for some time!

Traveling southbound on the Saw Mill River Parkway in southern Westchester County (in, or in the vicinity of, the city of Yonkers), New York, I saw a small green light, POSSIBLY on a saucer shaped object, zip quickly across the sky. It was rather fast - much faster than a plane but maybe not as fast as a shooting star. The green light was the eye catching feature… and the speed. I believe it was traveling east to west.

November 13th, 2021 at around 3:00 PM I was leaving a car wash. While stopping at a stop light, heading south on Statesville road in Huntersville NC, I noticed a white object in the sky about the same altitude as a plane would fly. Because it was so high up, I’m not sure if it was stationary or just moving slowly. It was either spherical or egg shaped, but again, because it was so high I am not sure which. When I came to a full stop I tried to figure out what it was, and looked at it for about 5-10 seconds. I moved my head left and right to make sure it wasn’t just something on my windshield, and it stayed still while my eyes followed it. While I was looking at it, it disappeared before my eyes without any sign of where it went. There was not a cloud in the sky that it could have gone behind, and it didn’t accelerate slowly before disappearing. I looked at the truck next to me at the stoplight to see if the driver had seen it, but it didn’t seem like they did. To my left there was a Wells Fargo, and to my right there was a Burger King. The object was at least a mile in front of me and about the altitude planes fly at, but I couldn’t tell you its exact location. For lack of an address I can provide the coordinates of my car when parked at the stoplight. Latitude: 35,442609 Longitude: -80,865709.

Two military helicopters fly behind my house, Kipling and C-470, low and in arks, as if they are searching for an object or for a person. Leaving for the Costco at Wadsworth and Quincy, 7.3 miles north, I see the helicopters making the same arks as they edge north. Parking at the Costco, my wife does the shopping, I sit in the car. Faced north in the parking space, I see both helicopters. Between them is a bright light floating between some tree and 4-6 feet in diameter. The light coming from it is unreflected, and self-luminescent. Another person saw these helicopters at my home location another time along with two F-16s with afterburners. I've heard afterburners many times above the house. He reported it on NextDoor, but has since disappeared along with his report. I have seen 11 objects in my quadrant of the Denver-metro area.

Fireball shaped objects( very bright fire like color) took off around Simi valley/ Santa Susanna field Laboratory area and flew toward Northeast with the speed around 200-250 km/h increasing altitude until disappearing. From the visual appearance and the distance, the size of the objects could have been from 1 to 10 m in diameter. We were able to observe objects take off and steadily traveling and increasing altitude up to about 3-4km over thousand oaks/ Malibu mountains area, gradually disappearing from the visual contact.
