Was sitting on couch looking out sliding glass doors, saw something grayish moving fairly quickly but no strobe lights which is required by FAA. Went out onto balcony and watched object move in a straight line without sound until I couldn’t see it anymore.

Austin area (near), TX
Full white slow spinning cloud disc (perfectly round), size comparable to Sun (bigger than moon) as seen from ground. Disc spinning and the white disc leaving a smooth cloud trail that's the same diameter of the disk, length maybe 4-5 times the diameter of disc. Looked and acted like somewhat similar to a contrail. Traveling North bound'ish and a sudden turn to the North east into a normal cumulus cloud and then not seen again. Moving pretty fast compared to the normal clouds.

Dennis, MA
Have recently started taking brief walks before sunrise. Because the air was exceptionally clear this morning, I stopped to look at the sky, and noticed a white light moving on a steady straight line approximately W to E. The speed was similar to a plane passing high overhead, but it didn’t appear to be a plane, and I did not hear any sound as I watched it, or for a few seconds later. It was a non-blinking white light, or tight grouping of lights. At one point when it was directly overhead, it seemed to be shaped like a small elongated triangle. I checked my cell phone for the time, 5:43, but did not attempt to take a photo. Later I used the Plane Finder website, which did not show any nearby plane flight paths at the time I saw this light. Perhaps it was a passing satellite.

Boone, NC
I was driving down NC 421 headed East from Boone headed toward Wilkesboro on my way home from work. I was the only car on the road as far as I could see. As I was driving, off to the left of the road (right around the area of the Food Lion on Deep Gap on Old 421) was what looked like an extremely bright and close star. It looked almost ovular, like it was a band of light lying horizontal. I happened to notice it out of the corner of my eye, and I looked at it. Once I looked in its direction, it immediately dropped out of the sky in a perfect vertical drop, as if it was propelling itself downward, much faster than if something was just falling from the sky. After it dropped down, it disappeared and I didn’t see anything else like it for the rest of my drive home. As I was replaying the sight of it, I was trying to think of something else that it could have been, like a floodlight in a construction zone falling off of a post, or a drone; but, I concluded that! the speed at which it was moving had to have been faster than the speed of an object falling due to gravity.

Heard footfalls outside window. Was having intimate time with my wife. Flash ofights and believed our photo had been taken. Stopped and went out to check, heard footfall indicating quick movement towards front of our home and door opened was our backyard so went around side to gate leading to front yard. Saw odd flicker of enery near our vehicle a wl a to my 2 o'clock and 7 o'clock, vehicle was at my 5. Kept seeing flickers so got phone out to see clearer. Camera app with IR sensor opens and I see what looks like light reflecting off rain on a window or glass piece. But looks as if hundreds of tiny cameras that form a being of multiple people or things.. creatures. There are many. I have noticed sickly feeling, such as extreme allergic reaction in throat and itchy over most of my body. Felt like I was being Sar on at one point and look in screen to see multiple being or camera clusters.. must se photos. Also have video feed.

Crown Point, IN
Seen a roughly 10x10 V shaped object flying across me. It was roughly 300 to 500 feet off the ground. It lasted about 4 seconds. Each side had 4 elonaged ovals that were translucent. I was trying to process what I was looking at in those 4 seconds. It happened so fast. I lost it once it went on the other side of the house. It was a reflection, a pack of duck, lighting or drones. It was something I've never seen before. The translucent part had me losing my mind.

Fresno, CA
I downloaded the video for you here. In the moment I didn't see multiple possible crafts. I only saw the bright fireball like thing, that's why I zoomed in so much on it. But if you slow down the video in the very beginning you can see zigzagging flashing lights in the top right corner. It seems as if the bright red light is heading towards the flashing lights. This was almost a year ago and I finally decided to try and report it.

As I walked out my front for to my car on the street out of the corner of my eye I saw a bright orange/amber light moving across the sky. It did not have hard edges so I believed it to be in the clouds. As someone who likes watching the ISS I stopped to watch it and quickly noted that it was 1) too big to be the ISS, 2) too orange to be the ISS, 3) moving too fast to be the ISS. As soon as the first object (that is, the first one I saw) moved out of sight behind my home I saw flickering behind the trees and a second object made its way from behind the trees into the clearing, loving in the same direction as the first, at the same speed, but seemingly farther away. This repeated several times and I saw 5 objects in total. I was unable to film the one of the objects as it was behind the trees but seemingly below the horizon. This object was not high enough to appear in the clearing. I did a quick Google and Twitter search and found Tweets and web posts from FOX23 NJ and PIX11 — both NYC-area news outlets. These posts were five days old (posted October 17, assumedly) and reported on a large cluster of similar objects over Paterson, NJ. There was video of the event.

Nightly I am observing multicolored flashing formation lights that are red,blue and green.They have been in the sky over Flagstaff for a couple of years now.They were as far out as the stars in the beginning,now they are overhead.There are also dim yellow and bright white single lights. They all come in and land on the San Fransisco Peaks/ Humphreys Peak mountain range.A single light sits at the top of one of the peaks,in the same place every night.There is also red, white lights that fly the same course over this area nightly.Seems like a patrol craft.

Plymouth, WI
The craft was seen by me and my girlfriend as we were driving down the highway. This occurred at around 6:00pm, right as the last bits of light had left the sky. It was seen in a farm field bordering a forest, around 40-50 feet in the air, right near the tree tops. There was no other sources of light or buildings in the area. The craft was sitting still when we first saw it, and the entire craft was glowing a pale yellow. It was probably the size of a small sedan. It was originally in the shape of a disk, however, the disk was vertical, so the craft looked like the letter “I” when we first saw it. It quickly flew to a horizontal position and then looked like a minus sign. From there, it flew up about 10 feet and turned into a sphere. The craft seemed to defy the laws of gravity, and it quickly changed shape and elevation for about 1 minute until it was out of view.

On October 23, 2021, roughly at 3:30am I was in my kitchen making a drink and I glanced across my living room and looked out my window and noticed a really bright light in the sky above an apartment complex 600 yards away, maybe a little more across a six lane highway. I go outside to investigate expecting it to be a helicopter but it's moving side to side repetitively i would guess 100 feet back and forth, so i proceed to the end of my street towards the highway and first thing i notice is no sound from a helicopter. And at that take phone out to record this and my phone wouldn't function at all and its never had this issue, but i observed this light for about five or so minutes then suddenly it stop moving side to side and moves across highway above me towards my house and just vanished so with the hair standing up all over i hurry home and just tried not to think about it then went to sleep. 11am later that morning i wake up well rested not even thinking about what i saw earlier in the night, just laying in bed watching tv for about thirty minutes and all of a sudden i get extremely sluggish and drowsy like i been drugged and something was going threw my mind like i was talking to someone briefly don't know exactly what it was about all i can remember is agreeing to and involuntarily nodding my head to not to say anything than i black out for a short moment come too and shockingly i'm having a violent seizure and i feel my arms being restrained. I black out again for just a moment then my eyes open suddenly. I'm laying on my side and I was on my back originally but I can't move. Then I see an individual walk right past me and go out my door. I'm guessing around a low 5 feet tall skinny build, with pale complexion black eyes probably twice the size of standard eyes, the individual had a big forehead with a crevice down the center of it in a black tight fitting ou! tfit. Then i glance into my mirror and freak out. There is only one way I can explain what I saw. This resembles on the movie Men In Black the coffee drinking and cigarette smoking aliens stick figure shape but with short tentacles 4inch roughly in length going all down its midsection What ever this was on the other side of me flipping out all over the place. Then i feel someone moving my bed and something inserted in my left ear and hear a soft voice say "daw" then i able to move my head slightly and i try to speak but black out again i wake up roughly two hours later and i had to run to the bathroom i was sick felt better afterwards went in my room looked around everywhere couldn't find any traces of anybody or thing anywhere but i know what i saw and felt it wasn't a dream i was very much aware when i came too for the short while So thats what happened i wanted to report it with it still fresh on my mind take it how you will i thought somebody might benefit from my experience

While driving home from football game with my high school teen. I noticed out in front to the right of my car a goldfish bright light. My guess at least 3,000 feet up. I felt strange about it but continued on down our road. We were about a 100 feet before our drive way when I spotted the light in the air in front of my vehicle. It suddenly stopped and came slowly controlled down to eye level of my vehicle. It stopped hovered above the road. I’m not sure how long we sat their without speaking. I slowly turned my head to my daughter and stated are you seeing this or am I nuts. She states I see it. I look around thinking this is a joke right. This thing to my best guess was 3 to 5 feet in diameter. Bright and glowing! I’m thinking in my head it’s got to be a drone. But I live in the middle of nowhere on a farm. Who would have a drone. I’m not sure how long it was in front of us but it all of a sudden just like that it snapped and disappeared! I’m not sure how to explain that part. My daughter will not speak of this. The next day I walked the spot where we saw this not sure what I was looking for but I found nothing. I’m reporting this because honestly I can’t get it out of my mind. I replay it over in my head often and just needed to share this. I’m not sure if it’s even worth reporting. Thanks for letting me share this.

I stepped outside alone to take out recycling. I saw was a flash of light. I looked up and there was a string of lights flashing, possibly changing color a bit-- the colors appeared to be purple, blue. The shape was a formation of lights. It made different movements with alternating velocity-- wobbled, hovered, made sharp zig zag, then hurtled and disappeared. It sounded like there was a strange buzzing vibration like sound.

While sitting outside I noticed two bright lights in the sky in front of me. They were round and bright, the one higher up was larger than the one below it. They were just sitting there, blinking occasionally. I came in and watched them on the monitor. Then the little one starting moving away toward the trees and disappeared. The big one started moving in same direction but kept going.

I noticed something in the air above my lead digger on the job line for approximately 10 minutes it started to get darker and moving around a little bit. Continued to do my job and what I was doing. Every time I spun around on my excavator i saw that it was still there. after a while i grabbed my camera and began to shoot video of it. I thought it was strange because it was in one spot for such a longtime that is why i grabbed my camera and began filming. It stayed there for 31 seconds and the boom of the lead excavator covered the object and then it was gone and there was a dark cloud in its place. Thank You for your time.

Observed 10-12 red lights in a circle, in the area of the big dipper bottom left star of the cup. We were facing directly north. The lights stayed in place in that area for at least 5 minutes that I observed, before ever so slowly moving in a westerly direction. There were no sounds. There was an aircraft that had a flight path that went in close to the lights. I was not able to get a picture of the lights.

Shoreline, WA
Witnessed a rectangular prism shaped object with 3 distinct circular red lights in a row. Sighting was west of I5, east of the flight pattern of air traffic, in Shoreline. The object rose vertically into the sky from the tree line until it reached a certain height, then stayed in one place and began disappearing/reappearing and flashing different colors. I took 3 different recordings of it on my phone, but the interesting thing about this is in the video (which isn’t very good quality being an iPhone) the craft appears as a red spherical object instead of rectangular and there appears to be many moving lights all around the sphere, whereas to the naked eye there where only what appeared to be 3. The sighting took place for approximately 4 minutes; the first recording is 24 seconds long starting at 8:21 PM the second recording is 1 minute 44 seconds, and the last where it lowers vertically out of sight lasts 32 seconds. When I first noticed it I was alone in ! my back porch and watched it to make sure it wasn’t a drone, then went into the house to get my daughter. The object disappeared completely for at least 20 seconds then reappeared and continued to do this several times, in between which at one point the lights flashed then only one appeared, then flashed several times, disappeared/reappeared then flashed green lights, then white, then disappeared again. During this time the neighbor’s dog began barking. The object went higher up, and when it reappeared for the final time it flashed these colors, went back to the bank of 3 red lights, then lowered again slowly until I couldn’t see it any longer. I was in absolute awe and honestly terrified. The height of the object and the size made me conclude that it couldn’t be a drone nor lasers from the ground. For the rest of the night our cats kept waking me up every hour until my alarm went off at 5:30 AM.

Fort Worth, TX
I was on my way home from work driving down the HWY and saw what looked like a plane at first because it had flashing lights. Then I realized the number of lights and the color of the lights. I know planes have a red, and green light. Green on one wing tip red on the other wing tip. The closer I came to the craft I saw that it had 3 lights and the strangest part was that from (my) right to (my) left the lights would flash one after the other first all-white, 1.2.3. then all green. 1.2.3. This repeated several times as I was approaching. I believe several vehicles in front of me saw this as well as they were slowing down and the person in front of me almost side swiped the vehicle beside him. Several vehicles were swerving. I can’t attest that there were any other witnesses other than myself because I don’t know for certain that the other vehicles saw this. However, it seemed as though everyone was looking at it by the way the traffic changed suddenly. Not to mention the cars swerving as they were braking. When I went under it, I couldn’t make out a shape however I was on the HWY but only going about 35-40 miles per hour as everyone slowed down to see this. It did appear to be completely stationary. I don’t know how to judge how far up it was, but I can say it was very low to the ground. Passing under the craft I would say it was larger than a conventional aircraft as well. I have no doubt in my mind that what I was looking at was not a conventional aircraft.
