Taken from my post on reddit's r/ufos sub: This took place last night, about 2:40 AM CST, in rural Greene County, MO. I was outside smoking a cigar in the middle of the night in front of my garage, which faces my neighbor's woods. Kept seeing bright lights through the trees, which is very abnormal. The brush and canopy are thick and it's tough to see anything through them even in the day. Looked like two lights to me. I went toward the treeline and started thinking it was a car on the road parked on the hill outside my driveway. Turned back to the garage and quickly grabbed protection (an axe handle, about baseball-bat shaped) because I thought it was a potential robbery. Nobody would ever park on that hill unless they were trying to hide from being seen. Went back, watched more, just had the sensation something wasn't right. The lights kept getting brighter. I went inside, grabbed my phone (Pixel 3 XL), and came back and started recording, and was still thinking it was a car on the road. As I walked down my driveway I realized it clearly wasn't. I realized what I was looking at was above my other neighbor's property across the street. A big field with a few trees deep in it. At first it was one bright solid light, but as I moved toward my garbage dumpster, it came into view as several other lights. For some reason I started thinking it was a fire in the sky. Couldn't make sense of it. Just kept recording and watching it for about 10 minutes. It seemed to get dimmer, then brighter. I couldn't figure out the shape. Only after watching the video did I realize that it seems to have been several different objects. My guess is three. After a while, one disappeared, which made the overall appearance dimmer. Bit later, another disappeared, leaving just a single glowing orb. Should've mentioned earlier that these primarily appeared red-orange to me, but the color absolutely shifted. They/it were solid white like a star at one point. Then, the last one rather than simply disappearing seemed to quickly fly off. I couldn't upload to imgur. No clue why. I'll post imgbb links in a comment as well. Postimages claims to not resize or degrade: Postimages album: https://postimg.cc/gallery/JHMjGRg The video I have is 3.8 GiB. My connection sucks. I have no way to upload it without re-encoding it, so I made an album instead. In the video, I zoomed in and out for perspective, but also lost it several times as I had to change position or was observing it without thinking much about recording. Video was taken on a Pixel 3 XL using Lineage. Screenshots were taken from mpv while rewatching the video on PC.

I was just getting out of work, turning the corner out of my works parking lot, when I looked to my left exiting I noticed a small glimmer in the sky. When I looked to observe it the object drastically increased in size very rapidly and burst into the sky with a very clear outline of shape but no audible sound (I was driving windows down, no radio playing) almost as if you would see in a comic book with "POW" written inside of it. This was the most brilliant and pure shade of white I had ever seen, incredibly pure in color. This event happened as if I was watching an old movie reel and it got to a sun faded or damaged part of it, like the movie of real life had a missing portion in its story.

After the 10PM alarm that shuts the base down, my roommate and I watched a disk like aircraft leave the base slowly and zip away suddenly. It had an orange colored light and it took off really slow at first and then disappeared.

Tonight walking along the water outside my Condo property looking toward the Northwest, I noticed a very bright “star” that caught my attention because I live in a light polluted area where stars are not usually visible. This “star” was steady, too bright, and remained in the same location in the sky. As I was wondering about it, the “star” started a series of “bursts.” From a steady, very bright illumination, its bursts were clearly visible but not as bright. It then would return to being a steady, very bright light until the next series of bursts. I got out my camera to take a picture but kept missing the bursts so I switched to video. In the video you can see the bursts. Although I tried to keep the camera steady, the movement in the video is the camera, not the “star,” which remained steady. The only movement I could discern were the bursts.

It was a floating orange fireball that would intensify and then dim. It did this a few times and got real bright and disappeared. It was silent.

I was taking my dogs out to use the bathroom at 735, just happened to look up at the sky in my back yard I see orange circular lights rising up from behind a couple of trees. They moved very slow and it was a big wide span it took up in the sky. The orange circles were slowly rotating in a synchronized circle and out of nowhere the sky looked like it opened up and a black hole was slowly growing near the top orange circle. I also noticed at the bottom of the synchronized orange glowing circle lights they began to come out of the trees more as the craft and black hole moved I saw their was a small triangle along with a longer triangle formed with the orange circle lights. Each orange circle light I noticed were slowly rotating upward in a slow circular motion and they would disappear in the same spot in the sky. The black hole also disappeared as fast as it came in that very same spot each light went away in. I heard no sounds I did video tape it I was kind o! f freaked out so I did swear in the video and my son who noticed the black hole was telling me mom get inside. I did catch 2 videos of this strange and scary event that took place right in back of my house and I was not able to sleep well at all last night. I do not know who to send my videos in but I have two really good ones.

At first I thought these were traffic helicopters in the night sky along the I5 corridor, from the I90 overpass up to Northgate, as they had red, white & blue blinking lights, that appeared to be attached to the underside of an object (the object from a distance reminded me of image of the TV version of Starship Enterprise, but when our car came closer to being under one of them, I was unable to determine the shape of the object), but they appeared to be unmoving. There were a succession of them intermittently placed in a line along the east side of I5. They were too high to be a projection image or attached to a crane (and too high to be attached to a crane)

On the evening of October 15, 2021 and previous evenings, I notice a hovering white round shape light with no movement and no sound over the Hudson River. This object has been viewable from my apt window on W. 60th and Columbus Avenue when I look in a south and slightly west direction. Also, the object just disappears and doesn't fly off.

Metallic gleam of light caught my eye looking up and towards the south mountains in my backyard. It appeared as a small speck in the sky, but with my Sigma 400mm lens I was able to capture some images. The craft appeared spherical, even star shaped in some photos.

I am a bigfooter, been going to the same place in the rocky mountains for 8 years doing research on the Bigfoot type creatures, this summer extraterrestrial type alein looking creatures have shown up, I've photograph them 3 times this summer. They were not there the previous 8 years. And I am confused as to why there hiding in the woods where I've documented 13 different bigfoots, and 2 yeti type creatures. I am lost there more aggressive then the Bigfoots. Any help would be great.

There was a bright, glowing red light that at first glance appeared to be the red lights of an airplane (and looked light three lights in a triangle to the naked eye), but the light did not move. It’ stayed still, I took photos and videos. Zoomed in, it looks like a main bright light with a glowing ring around it, but I’m not sure if that’s from the auto-focusing of the camera. This was not a planet, this light was bright, glowing, and close… but high enough and bright enough to know it was not a drone. It was there for at least 12 minutes. I looked back over at my pillow for a few seconds to grab my phone again and when I looked back out the window it was just gone. I looked around everywhere again but didn’t see it.

We were painting our garage floor, so we placed everything from our garage on the driveway and patio. I sat our ring camera on the deep freeze on the patio to watch our golfcart overnight. The camera was pointing west toward our driveway. I had never sat a camera outside like this before. My son and I went in and were talking upstairs when my phone alerted that there was motion about 15 minutes after we went in. My son and I clicked on the ring camera app on my phone, and we saw two synchronized light orbs come down from the sky. As the orbs came lower something darted at them (could have been a bird or bug) and then they shot down right in front of the deep freeze and some beach chairs that were up against it. After a couple of seconds, the orbs come back up, they pause and then fly directly over the camera. The video captured the sighting which lasted about 16 seconds from when it appeared to when they fly over the camera. This video is unlike anything anyone has ever seen. I showed a few people, and they could not explain it.

I observed the object from my bathroom. It was just sitting there blinking green. It then moved very fast to the right and stopped on a dime. It then started to blink red. It changed back to green then changed between the 2 colors. There was no sound. It moved towards the south. I took one video from my upstairs, through a screen window. I then ran downstairs and outside to get a better view. I took another short video as it left. I thought it was over so went back upstairs. As I looked out the window again it was back. I ran back down to get another video of 50 seconds. It disappeared again , then I heard helicopters but could not see them as it was cloudy out.

My father and I were driving home after watching a movie along a dark street. Everything was quite dimly lit besides some streetlights, halloween decorations, and lit windows. High in the sky, at about the height a helicopter would fly, we saw a bright lime green light fall from the sky. It was about ⅓ the size of a helicopter and fell quite quickly so I could only see it for 2-3 seconds. It fell at a curve and had teal, what appeared to be, taillights. When it fell, it left a teal trail in the night sky about 5-6 feet from where it might have been a moment before. It was pure light so I couldn’t make out a shape but my father, who saw the object before me, said the light formed a circle around the object. When it fell I did see tiny specks of silver shining through the flash, not falling but being revealed. In short, it was a circle shaped bright lime green light that left a teal light trail. After 2-3 seconds passed the object lost all light and disa! ppeared from my view since, A, it blended into the night, and B, it fell behind some houses. It seemed to fall a few blocks away but I heard no crash so it could have dipped and turned its lights off before flying off again. We only saw one, but soon after the encounter I heard lots of helicopters outside.

I was in my back yard playing with the dogs and noticed a small aircraft going in circles. I thought man he is having fun and then I caught a moving object about several hundred feet up or maybe a thousand feet. It was silver and just moving along with no wings or propellers. I was like what is this? Then I stood on our picnic table to watch it go over our house roof. It paused on the other side of our neighbors house across the road, but only for about 3 seconds. Then it moved forward just about 50 feet at a slower pace then bam the object went subsonic and it was gone gone. That is when I knew I just witnessed something> It was the size of a football but only it was round like a ball. No sounds. I looked back and tried to understand what just happened and i have never seen anything like this. 58 years old and sound mind.

Mid day sunny conditions sitting in living room a bright object caught my eye moving north to south. Didn’t think much then observed object suddenly move south to north. Went out to porch and got video. Object videoed seemed to be a great distance away I videoed for less than a minute. I have a little trouble with eyesight after cataract and retina surgery. When I reviewed the video and zoomed in the object does not appear domestic. With more sophisticated video analysis one might see it more clearly.

I saw this flashing light in the sky to the north east flashing and darting around, it was a crystal clear night, October 14; 2:02 am is when I started recording…I have a video of the light in the sky, it’s extremely convincing, the light shows rotation and movement when zoomed in. It’s really pretty unbelievable I caught this. I watched it for almost 3 minutes and it was gone, no sound whatsoever. It almost looks like a triangle at the beginning of the video. I would love to send you the video. You can hear the tree toads and crickets, it was a gorgeous night. I was just returning from fishing the last of the stripe bass run. That’s when I saw the light. I have no clue what it is. It’s not like anything I have ever seen in the sky and it was really bright. All the stars were out..god how can I send you the video?

I’ve held onto this for a year now and I think about it every day. I needed to share in hopes to get it off my mind. I was car camping at the Greendale campground in the Green Mountain National Forest, a place I know well. I was listening to a podcast when my car started to shake. I thought it was a bear. It was almost as if an earthquake was happening. I quickly realize it was not a bear and got out of the car. The trees were moving, my car was moving, I felt it. Birds who were sleeping in trees now screamed. I have birds, their sounds were of being scared out of sleep, but so many, it gave me chills. I looked up and saw a large blimp like ship that was low, just above the tree line, it was like see through, it reflected the sky, it looked solid but not, it’s hard to explain. It was like stealthy I guess you could say, like a Star Trek ship cloaked. It made no noise and it moved slow. There was a power coming from it. Once it was over head it blow air on top of me, it was warm, like the engine was pushing out air. This is really hard to explain in words. I’ve had a lot of weird things happen in my life, I’ve seen my share of unexplained things, but this bothered me. It’s not like anything I’ve seen or heard of. All I can think of is it’s some kind of government ship being tested and I think that’s what bothers me most. I hope I explained myself well enough. I’ve clicked there was aura or haze around it because it did kind of have a hazy or cloudy look around what I feel was the outline of the ship.

My wife and I were sitting in the vehicle in the parking space of a friend of mines trailer. It was around 10 pm or after but not past 12 midnight. As we sat i for some unknown reason was drawn to look up and saw a very bright orange and red ball of fire streak across the sky. It was moving very very fast and literally there and gone in the blink of an eye. iT WAS MOVING IN A SOUTHEAST. ((name deleted)) and the spelling is correct was the second person in the vehicle a silver acadia. 2010 It was between aug to october my date and time is fuzzy because i was dealing with an emf situation and i had not had a chance but whatever it was was crazing down for sure because of the immense light and heat it was approximately maybe the size of a school bus to a vehicle. Hard to judge the size because it was so fast .

Did have white lights. Shape seemed off for life flight too. Also no red and white flashing like life flight Was definitely also not a plane with the height, shape, and speed and no sound. Unfortunately, we were too busy being dumbfounded to stop an video it.

My weekend farm is located at ((address deleted)) Nemo, TXU. It is in the country. Across my front field, my nephew and I were leaving our barn and I saw a square bright light with a square halo around it across the county road on the side of a tree covered hill. I asked him, “ what is that light”. He joked and said it must be some sort of ritual in the woods and left to go to his house behind the barn. I got in my ATV and backed it out of the bar so that the headlights shined on the area where the light was shining. Within seconds the light turned off and then a large silhouetted disk with rectangular lights around the edges began to rise until it was above the trees, then slightly moved to the right. It’s size was about the length of a school bus. I was in shock because of what I was watching, then it zipped away almost undetectable except for a distinct vapor trail. The trail was in a large arc up into the clouds. There was a glow above the clouds and then a la! rge bolt of lightening, then thunder. A downpour ensued. Whenever there was lightening, I could see the vapor trail although it was dissipating quickly. Amazing!
