La Conner, WA

Clear night no moon I was outside in my back yard looking for the northern lights. I was out there for about 15 minutes and looking to the east when I noticed a dim object in my peripheral vision moving fast from the south. I thought it was a shooting star but it wasn't. It looked like I was looking at a straight leading edge of an object about the length of my finger held at arms length. It moved in a straight path to the north I saw it for about 4 seconds before I lost it behind some tall cedar trees. I thought that maybe I had seen the ISS but I have seen that before and this was moving too fast. 4 minutes later i was looking to the north and saw the same object moving south but this time I had a better look and it seemed the object had a slight angle to the leading edge. As it passed overhead it looked like it was translucent or maybe it was reflecting the minimal light around it. It seemed like the area behind the the leading edge where the body would ! be was distorting the sky. I saw this for about 8 seconds before i lost track of it behind the roof of my house. The object made no sound.

Hidden Springs, ID

My husband and I went into the foothills to look at the night sky. Can't remember if we were looking for something in particular. I took two photos. One showed the big dipper and the other showed this odd form. I have not reported it before because we did not actually see it until we got home and checked the photos. The photos were taken through an open car window facing foothills and the sky. [NUFORC annotation: Camera Anomaly - Probable]

Grey disk like craft no sound no lights moving around 300 feet altitude at high rate of speed westbound just 100 feet southerly of Grant rd running parallel. Came very close to a landing emergency medical helicopter landing at TMC hospital maybe only a couple hundred feet from the helicopter on its approach. There was an aircraft that seemed to be following but was about 10 to 15 miles out. Recon and tracking as it followed the same flight path. My statement is true to the best of my ability in description and memory.

Cary, NC

Driving on Holly Springs Rd, my wife & I saw an object flying just above the treetops. Object was circular, approximately 30 ft in circumference. It had 5 lights that were equally distant & all lights were toward the outside of the object (I am describing the underside of the object). It was tilted slightly in the direction that it was moving. Speed was probably 20 mph when we viewed it. We turned on Cary Parkway to try to follow it, but could not see the object any longer due to the quantity of trees. We unfortunately did not get any video. More people had to see it, because traffic was very heavy.

Apex, NC

On October 30, 2021, at approximately 7pm, I was driving south on HWY 55 toward Vision Dr. A (seemingly) huge, well lit object flew above me slowly. My first thought, due to the proximity of RDU airport, this was a 747, or some other very large aircraft either landing or crashing. I realized this was not the case, due to the object making no sound. I turned and drove up Vision Dr., while watching the object continue in a south easterly direction, close to downtown Apex. As I watched, the object changed direction, shifting north. The object did not bank, but merely shifted North while remaining horizontal. Very bizarre. When I got home, I called the Apex police department, asking about any known low flying aircraft in the area. Apex was celebrating an Oktoberfest festival that evening, and I thought maybe it could be related, formation night flying or some other “show”. Their answer was no, no scheduled traffic. This week (Thanksgiving) I found a commercial aviation radar app that has flight histories and whatnot (Flightradar24). There were no commercial or civilian flights recorded at that time on October 30, where I was driving. For this reason, I’m making the report. In conclusion, the object was very large, flying low, slow and without sound. I saw no details of the airframe or other structure, due to the brightness of the lights. The lights were arranged in a “4” square pattern (which I reasoned maybe what 4 light aircraft flying in close formation would look like). All I remember is red and white, with 2-4 very bright white strobes. As another report on this same evening stated, this was a very busy highway and time of evening, with lots of traffic. I’m likely not the only witness.

Janesville, WI

My son first spotted it and said I needed to come look at the moon. It was 7:37 ish and I knew that sometimes early in the morning you can see the moon before it goes down. I stepped out of my house and looked up and saw a glowing crescent shape that looked just like a moon. What was weird was that it seemed to me moving and so I kept looking at it. I then noticed it was moving and I was trying to determine if it was moving or clouds were moving across it. After a couple of minutes I could see it was moving and it wasn’t moving down like a moon setting in the early morning. Instead it was moving like a plane or a jet. There was no smoke trail or exhaust coming off of it like there would be with a jet or plane. It also did not make any noise like a plane or a jet would have. It kept moving and was moving towards me so that it was moving over me. If I was to hold a dime up it would have covered it. It also seemed to kind of glow like a moon would. It clearly w! as not a moon because it moved south to north. It was a clear day with only a few clouds and temperature was in the 40s. I watched it for a bit and took several photos and videos. In one video on my phone camera it went blurry but I didn’t change the focus and when I looked at it in the sky I could still see crescent shape but on my phone it became kind of a glowing blob. I do not like near an airforce base or military base. There is a very small airport near and it made no sound like a plane. It also moved too fast to be a hot air balloon and it glowed kind of. I went in just for a second and looked back out and it was gone.

Owasso, OK

Friday Oct 29, 2021 appx 7:45pm to 8:15pm cdt with clear skies. I was sitting in my backyard in Owasso, OK, 15 miles NE of Tulsa. Owasso is a few miles to my SW and neighborhood lights make star watching less than perfect but it was a very good night considering. Tulsa International Airport is about half way between Owasso and Tulsa, about nine miles away so I get lots of traffic in my skies. I also saw half-dozen satellites in the 30 minutes I was out. So I’ve seen lots of aircraft, large and small. Lots of meteors and lots of satellites. I’ve never seen anything like this before. I saw something, barely perceptible, moving from near my zenith to the WSW. I estimate it covered about 60-70 degrees in about 4 seconds. At first I thought it was a meteor (and it might have been) but it was just so dim. I’ve seen a lot of meteors from my backyard chair and I’ve never seen a meteor that dim move that far across the sky. It seemed a little larger than the head of a meteor and seemed to glow a dim orange, like an ember. But it was so dim I was surprised I saw it at all. It never changed speed and it’s brightness never wavered. It left no trail. I was surprised that it just kept going. It didn’t burn out as much as it disappeared into the glow of lights of downtown Owasso. It was moving way too fast to be anything headed to or from the airport and it didn’t make any sound.

Strange bright white light hovering which seems to be just above the tree tops on a mountain side, object was moving like a swinging back and forth motion, then it would go up the mountain side and then back down. I saw this light about a month ago, and then yesterday morning to the left of the mountain, same light and same moving characteristics. And saw the same object tonight on 10-29-21 on the right hand side of the mountain same place where I saw it the first time. Witnessed by my girlfriend as well.

Barnes, KS

We were in the front pasture because the horses were all lined in a row acting bizarre. We walked out to them, and I looked up at the sky, and there was something not of this world...it was about twice the size of the brightest stars, and a red light.... then I looked West, and there was another one, in the distance. I stated.. UFO and was in awe. I was 7 miles from a black top road, in the country. This was no mistake. The photos showed something different than what I saw, but still, not of this world. I knew the starlink satellites immediately at a summer party. I researched SpaceX, as well, and Elon's ships are nothing like what we witnessed. Other bizarre things happened at the farm, as well. I was too scared to report to the government, and stupidly reported it on Facebook. Soon after, all my posts went straight to my local police department. I have lost all my friends over this, as well. The pictures revealed 3 ships in one. Of one, of the two I saw.

Katy, TX

On 10/29/2021 at approximately 10:45 to 11:10 AM, I was in my backyard with my dog. I looked up and saw a "toaster-shape" silver object that appeared pretty high in the sky. The duration was 5-8 minutes. It had strange white blinking lights on the bottom. It was moving southeast at a slow speed. At a couple of points it stopped, hovered for at least 20 seconds. There was no noise that I could hear. It was a rare windy day for Katy. Winds were 20 mph NW. The skies were clear. Unfortunately, by the time I ran in to get my camera, it was nearly gone.

Soldotna, AK

At sunrise, I saw shiny object hanging in the sky. The sun was shining directly on it and it shone bright silver. I thought it was a star but I had never seen a star this late in the morning so I decided to video it. When I watched the video, to my surprise, the shiny thing was moving. Upon closer inspection, it was not only sinking in a downward motion but it flew side to side as well. It glinted or sparkled in the sun. I was at work when I saw this and a coincidence happened -all wi-fi in the hospital quit working and cellular service stopped too. The IT computer team said there was an unexplained equipment failure and they were trying to fix it as quick as possible. It took 5+ hours to fix.

I was looking inside looking out a my friends window at around 2:45 am at some objects moving in the night sky, they looked like moving stars. So I got my phone out to see if I could get a picture, I looked outside about to videotape them and something moving across the street from me caught my eye. So I started video taping what I saw. It look like a creature about the height of a 5 years old child . The creature looked hunched down. It looked like he was either waving at me or doing some sort hand signals. The creature looked white with black eyes. It didn't seem like it wanted to harm me, but it was staring back at me.. I was curious of it. When I looked again at 11:am the creature was not there!

Clearwater, FL

While walking my dog I saw an unusual very bright orange/red light approaching my location. It was moving west to east appeared to be at around 500 feet. I thought it might be a helicopter but as it got closer it was completely silent. It was moving slowly and appeared to be hexagon shaped. It was difficult to make out the shape as it was so bright. I watched it move off to the East never changing speed or direction. Having thought the show was over I saw this exact scenario three more times. They were roughly one minute apart. The last one changed direction from the others slightly and almost passed directly over my head.

October 28, 2021 · 7:15 PM · TRIANGLE

Enfield, NH

October, 28 202119:15 in Enfield NH My wife and I were sitting in our hot tub on the back deck observing the stars when my wife exclaimed "what is that!". I looked over my shoulder and saw one triangular aircraft. It had a white light at each point, and a red light in the middle. I estimate it was flying in a E to W direction. I estimate that if you were to use the lengthof a large jet to make the 3 sides of a triangle, that would be about the size of what we observed. It was moving about the same speed as a jet, but was low enough that I should have been able to hear it, and I could not. We could both see the gray outline of it, and it looked like a large triangle. What are your thoughts? Thank you
