Thousand Oaks, CA
What I saw didn't seem like a single UFO but an event. I saw an orange cloud or light inside a cloud. One would think that it was the clouds reflecting a fire below, this is California after all, but it was far to bright to be a reflection of a fire or any kind of light. This section of cloud was glowing orange constantly, no fluctuation in intensity or color. In the center of this cloud there was an indent. I don't know what was creating that indent but in the center it was obviously pushed in. From my vantage point on a hill in Thousand Oaks, the light would seem to be over the Camarillo Grade on the 101 or could have been possibly out to sea. It large in size but appeared to be very far away. From where I am the Camarillo Grade is a good 10 miles or so and if you were to go in a straight line from my house to the Camarillo Grade then just behind it say maybe 5 or 8 miles you'd be out in the ocean. I first saw the light a little before 12 pm and wh! en I awoke again around 4 am it was still there, it hadn't moved or changed color. The shear size of the area lit up and the intensity was far greater than anything man could make. At the time I checked the Ventura County fire and Cal Fire to see if there were any fires and there were not. There were no helicopters in the sky nears this cloud and on any given night in this area there are helicopters in the sky. I checked the next day and nothing mentioned with the fire or police or in any of the local news. I do have photos that I'd like to share. The photos are seen through a window and window screen so the focus isn't that great but it will give you an idea of the size of this and you can see the indent in one of the close ups.

I live on a farmstead. In back of my home is a wooded area. As I was in bed looking out the window. There was a large bright light that lasted 3 seconds. Right after you could see a light descending into the woods you could see this light hitting the branches as it went down. I was not able follow it due to some buildings and I was a little afraid to go out side. I was by myself.

There were two orange lights in the sky to the south of where I was standing. One was hovering, apparently not moving. When I first saw the lights, the one on the right seemed to be an elongated shape with multiple lights, and then a more compact shape. The light to the left moved, varied in intensity, changed color, and seemed to fade in and out. The other did not appear to move. They both went away after a while—I did not see them leave the area. Planes flew over the whole time I was watching, and I heard jets at one point. I am not sure how long the lights were in the sky before I saw them. Nothing was reported on Flight Aware. Helicopters and drones could both hover, but these seemed too large and higher up than either of those would be.

My friend and I were in our neighborhood park when all of a sudden we saw a bright white and blue circular object drop from the sky super fast and maybe crash. I thought it might be a meteorite but it looked like a ball in the sky and went straight down, not diagonal from our view. It was very bright white and blue like the color of the sky in the morning inside the ball. It went down so fast from high in the sky down to earth in less than 3 seconds. I couldn’t even take a picture as I didn’t have enough time to grab my phone. The sun was mostly down so there was no way the sunlight could have distorted our view. It was not a drone. The sky was clear and darkening. There was no trail or smoke when it fell. A coast guard helicopter flew by less than a minute after and I am sure the pilot seen this as well.

It looks like a cloud, but is moving one direction first, then back the other way next. Counter positional to the clouds behind it. It looks very odd and ethereal, like a shape shifting form. I have some pictures here I will post and, one blown up isolated picture of the craft/object itself.

I first saw this on the corner of Cinco Ranch Blvd and Falcon Landing Blvd in Katy, Tx at about 3:30ish pm on October 18, 2021. We were facing east and about to turn north and it was right in front of us moving northward. It was low when we first saw it (about 45 degrees up from the ground and about two to four miles or so away). It was white/silver, glinted in the sun every now and then, and looked to be as big around as a car. Something lightly orange colored was attached to it, but I couldn't make out what it was. The orange thing seemed to come and go, moving up above the white worm-like thing and below it. I quickly turned left and took the first right into a residential area off Falcon Landing Blvd which was Woodleigh Springs Ln.. I pulled over where it was safe and started filming. It continued moving northward but was definitely moving up (about 80 degrees or more) and becoming smaller on my screen. I caught a couple flashes of red light coming off ! of it at one point. I couldn't stay to watch the whole time. By the time we made it home, about 5 minutes away, it was gone.

At 6:20 am I let my dogs out. It is a very clear morning. The stars are very visible and clear. I look up every morning to check the stars and sky out. Today, I looked up and saw a star-sized object moving at a very high rate of speed. It zig-zagged. I first thought it was my imagination the way it zig-zagged. I kept watching, and no doubt, it was zig-zagging, like it was avoiding objects in its path. As I watched, it disappeared into the dark sky as if it was climbing higher. It was visible for maybe, 3 minutes. It looked just like a star.

Chandler/Maricopa County, AZ
My friend and I were driving on 347 from Our town maricopa to Scottsdale.There was 1 diamond shape very bright UFO. As we were looking at it it then split in half. It was to the right of us as we were headed to Chandler area. After it split in half,a third one appeared out of nowhere. It started moving north towards Chandler but the main bright UFO stayed put. There was actually a few people on the side of the road watching as well. We decided to chase it and find out where it was going. We are new to the area and we ended up somewhere in the Chandler area and there was a formation that we caught on camera. There was five actual in a line formation might’ve been six but we are sure it was at least five by the time we got the camera out we only saw three. We were trying to find a place to park and catch it more activity but again we did not know the city and so we turned around went into a Circle K got gas. We asked the gentleman if he had seen the lights in ! front he said thank you so much for confirming and the answer is yes now I know I am not crazy and then also confirmed what we saw was correct. Also as we were on the freeway chasing the lights as we got off the freeway we saw an officer that was actually looking in the direction and again there was a few other cars in the Chandler area that we’re watching. The whole thing lasted about three hours we are so tired so from about 10 o’clock to 12:50 Am They are still out there

There were multiple glowing dots out in the distance. The dots disappeared, reappeared, moved at different paces, etc. Most were seen above the tree line in the dark. Up in the sky above there were moving dots witnessed. Three moved together in a triangular shape. Others moved in the sky too. There was an abnormal amount of “planes” that blinked with red. One turned around in the sky and backtracked it’s route, then disappeared. Others disappeared too. One “plane” moved upward.

When I witnessed the light moving erratically, the first thought was it had to be a drone but it didn't appear to make any sound. From my experience, even drones make a whirring as their propellers rotate at high rpm. I took out my phone and started recording anyway just in case it wasn't a drone. At one point, the lights changed to green and red. At one point it picked up enough speed that it looked like a tiny comet and then slowed again. I recorded it until I lost it behind my house. My plan was to start a new video when I got further out into my yard where there were no obstructions but it was gone.

I have a fourth floor balcony that faces west. Today I was enjoying the beautiful weather when I observed something coming from the west. At first I thought it was a helicopter. But as it got closer I could tell it wasn't a helicopter or a plane, so I thought it might be a drone. What got me to observe it and focus on it more was when it began reflecting light on different sides of the object. I noticed that it looked to be changing shape. That's when I began recording the video. It came from the west and curved to the south at a steady pace. The object is heading south in the video. i don't know what this is, but I do know that it wasn't normal.

My wife, my daughter and my son in law were on a boat in one of the lakes of the Towne Lake subdivision. I was searching the sky with my Bestguarder infrared camera and caught in a video a UFO in the form of a sphere (like an orb), but it was not visible to the naked eye and it did not have any sound. It was flying very low and, as you can see in the video, there is a moment in which it rapidly changes direction. The object is fully illuminated but its contour is not fully defined. It looks like it has an aura around it.

Using Night vision Binoculars,I was looking for ufos.I observed an object up in the night sky at around 10 or 11 o'clock pm moving from South to North slowly. It looked like a star,it was small.when I flashed my light up in its direction, it stopped moving. If I hadn't been watching it, I would think it’s a star. I flashed the light again and it began moving back South, then turned and went from West to East or my left to my right and started moving in front of me and it went from a small start to a large orb bright white light, seemed brighter that the Sun, like it shimmered.Its at this point I picked up the infrared night vision binoculars again which I had put down to look with my naked eyes, and that's where I started to video. Its shaky because I didn't have time to get a tripod and my adrenaline was pumping. It moved across my vision up in the sky. I watched it move silently, it wasn't space junk or a plane, helicopter, drone, it moved intelligently and was completely silent. I flashed it again with my light and as seen, it got small again and moved back out into space.later it came back and moved right to left up on the sky and was hard to see unless you had the Infrared binocs on. I have been doing this for 3 years and have seen many objects moving up in the sky,but this one was different. It changed direction a few times, went from dim to super bright then dim again, and it was silent, like it was watching or observing me because I had flashed a laser up in their direction. Never at it of course.

While sitting on our patio watching birds coming in to roost as the sun was just below the horizon, we both noticed a round object flying from left to right above our treeline about a mile out (max) and perhaps 1,000 to 2,000 foot altitude. Due to the white color I assumed it was just an aircraft reflecting the setting sun making it appear white. I then realized I could actually watch the while smoothly become black, then white in a steady transition. The darkness was rotating from the left as would the white during the light dark light transitions of the object. By the time I realized this was unlike anything I had seen before, it was too late to grab a camera as it moved behind my treeline as It moved along . Background on me, I served in the US Army Infantry airborne for 12 years. I work on a Airforce based, and have a clearance. Ice seen plenty of things in my time, I am 62. I doubt we have this type of technology. No sound at all. We have a bombing range nearby and only F16's here. No jet looks like this. I would describe this as a ball that is light and dark which slowly rotates whileovi g smoothly and not terrible fast.

I am an extremely avid aviation and space enthusiast and have been for more than 20 years. I know about, or know of, probably most aircraft in existence whether they're blimps or dirigibles, drones, helicopters, airplanes, even rockets and satellites. On the weekend of October 16th and 17th, 2021, the Northern Colorado Regional Airport had an airshow, which included the Blue Angels. Living on Audubon Ct (80528), I was ~1.5-2 miles Northeast of the airport, and had a spectacular and uninterrupted view of the entire horizon to the south. From my roof on Audubon Ct (I have since moved), I watched, also using binoculars, the entire airshow from start to finish on both days. Sometime in the afternoon on what I believe was Saturday, Oct 16th and probably around 1400 hours, there were stunt planes demonstrating their performance. As I watched with binoculars, there was a reflection due south of the airport, probably 10-20 miles away and at an altitude between 1,000 and 5,000 feet (using the Foothills and mountains as a reference). I focused the binoculars and saw a very clear and distinct chrome, oblong object. It was completely stationary for 2-3 seconds, almost as if it was observing the airport and airshow. In a split second, it disappeared. I lowered my binoculars and, with the naked-eye, I saw the reflection again, raised my binoculars and saw it had reappeared significantly farther south and slightly to the west, where it, again, remained stationary for about 5 seconds, before completely vanishing upward. It was only 1 or 2 seconds between when it initially disappeared and reappeared. There was only the one craft, and there were no visible lights or trails, only the reflection of the sun coming off the object (it was very clearly some kind object with how it behaved). Because of the airshow, the airspace around the airport was, of course, very restricted and there were no other aircraft visible to the south during the airshows hours, especially during a performance. I tend to think of myself as being a logical person with a vast knowledge of aircraft and spacecraft, but what I saw that day defies everything I know, not to mention the actual physics behind it. I have quite a few friends and family in the aerospace industry, as well as the Airforce, and when I explained it to them, they had no explanation into what it could've been or how it did what it did. For the last 2 years, I have been grappling with what I saw and doubting myself, especially since I didn't see anyone else mention this on social media afterwards. However, in light of recent UAP/UFO information coming out from the DOD, I thought it prudent to submit this report in case it corroborates any other possible sightings of something similar that weekend.

Taos, NM
Heard plane, went out, three of them, one a small two winger, another one, looked round, almost considered it a UFO, a very sleek, possibly newer plane, and I thought, must be someone important, nice stealthy looking white plane, then a cigar shaped object. The planes went two ways and the stealthier one came the same direction as the cigar. The cigar was clearly very high compared to the mountains. It also looked huge and was like a huge jet moving across sky. I also thought it could be the space station. It went as fast as any of the planes. Lasted about three minutes. The cigar object was silent, as was the stealthier plane, but I heard the two winged small plane. I filmed what I could. Later, I had the urge to reset my phone. I deleted the film.

I was in front of my home having a moving sale when we noticed to white spheres in the sky over towards the Livermore lab. They sat there without moving for about a minute. I watched the video later and if you slow it down between the 30sec and 37sec mark you see a round object flying across the screen. In real time it’s difficult to see, but when slowed down it’s noticeable

Wellton, AZ
On October 16, 2021 at approximately 6:20 a.m. while traveling on Interstate 8 between Yuma, AZ and Wellton, AZ I saw the following in the sky. I had just come down out of telegraph pass, pass the Ligurta turnoff (21) and I saw an object in the sky making a streak of light. It was not as fast as a shooting star but it was much faster than an F35. The sun had not yet crested over the mountains to the east (Mohawk range) but it was dawn and someone light outside. The streaking object began to turn green. After looking at a color chart I would say "Spring Green." The trajectory started changing into a downward position as if it were going to crashland. The object grew brighter and more intense. It was just a bright flame of green light at that time. Perhaps I watch too much television because I was expecting it to explode or create a plume of smoke and dirt upon impact. That didn't happen. It just appeared to burn out quickly and was gone. ! The entire event took seven seconds. I suspect it was something entering our atmosphere and was not as close to the earth as I believed it to be. Had it followed the trajectory it woudl have landed North or Northeast of Wellton, AZ.
