Portage, IN
My boyfriend, ((name deleted)) and I were standing outside in our driveway at 8:45 PM on 9/15/21. It was dark. The sky was fairly clear with passing clouds. I could see the stars and moon.I Saw a white light, moving SW to NE slowly 2-3 miles away from my standing position and at an altitude of approximately 10-11,000. It was big as my thumb nail with my arm extended and the object was at a 60 degree angle from my standing position. There was a jet coming from E to W at approximately same altitude. I thought they were going to collide. The white object stopped and hovered, as if to miss the jet. The object made no sound. The object changed direction by jogging back slightly and turning a pink color. The object then moved forward toward our position and became a brilliant red, well defined circle. It emitted a red beam down toward ground and then shot straight up in the sky and out of sight. Total sighting time 2-3 minutes. I searched flights and Atlas air flight QF 7550 from JFK to ORD (Boeing 747-87U(f) was at 12,805 feet altitude at a speed of 397 MPH at 20:45 per flight radar.It's REG: N854GT According to Weather Underground it was 64 degrees F, Dew point 55 degrees F,73% Humidity, Wind Calm N 0 MPH,0"precipitation, Conditions listed as fair. Nautical twilight was 8:01 PM local or 20:01 UTC. Astronomical twilight was 8:35 PM local or 20:35 UTC. Barometric pressure was 29.45 We did not get a photo or video. We had no missing time and there was no damage or effect to any radio, TV, Engines, Lights, Clocks, or animals. We had no physical sensations. This definitely was NOT a cloud! Note: Lake Michigan is one street behind my home. Approximately 10 minutes later there was a loud roaring sound. I saw a white light behind the trees going very fast from East to West along Lake Michigan shoreline. My boyfriend thought the light looked like a green color. I've been close to an active runway before which was landing jets and this was much louder and more of a roaring sound.

Lake Sumter Landing, FL
We began to ask everyone what they thought it was and people just gathered off as the launch because they had heard there was a launch that night. Unbeknownst to them the launch hadn't even started.

Sitting down facing east. To the emirate left ( North ) at 10 oclock these lights entered the atmosphere, traveled to the right ( South ) until at a 1 o'clock position the exited the atmosphere, ( or vanished ). In a straight line they followed each other at the same speed. They were in sequence 1-2. the 3-4, then 4-3 of them together. It looked a lot like Tracer Fire going across the sky.. No Sound. They were as bright as an aircraft is seen at 46,000 feet at 10:00pm.

Norfolk, VA
My Daughter and I were outside about 16:30 9/15/21 examining a large spider that had spun a big web, high on the eves of our house. As we walked further around to the front of the yard examining it, she exclaimed "Dad, what's that light?" I looked up into the sky and saw what I thought was Venus at first. I even told her "Oh, that's just Venus!" I looked away at her ready to explain how I had been watching Venus rises in that part of our sky. Then she said "Yeah, but its moving.." I returned my gaze up to the object which at first glance looked like a celestial body. If it had been still in the sky, I would have thought it a large star or planet type of heavenly body. She was correct! It sure was moving. Slowly across the sky, horizontally over the Norfolk Airport area. Form our view it was first moving from the south to the north, north east. As it traveled, it seemed to intensify in its luminosity as we watched it go across the sky(it never dropped in altitude, was defiantly not a flare), like a bright LED bulb but with no glare. Just a ball of illumination. The light was (Star like) is the best I can describe. Nothing I've seen in a craft before. An aircraft of some kind was flying high, and circling around in front of, the forward flightpath of the UAP. My daughter exclaimed "I don't like what that helicopters doing" I said :You think its chasing it??" She said "Yeah! Look!" The UAP then stopped its northerly course and went directly east, quickly fading out into the distance. We noticed after it was gone a few other high altitude aircraft in the vicinity of the event.

Then the beam dimmed and only a residual of that light was on, about 8 stragglers followed behind.

Staunton, VA
Southern sky, slightly east about 11 o'clock. Noticed wavering light within a small area in the sky that looked like wavy light or an aura. With binoculars saw what appeared to be one circular light followed by 3 circular lights and a red flashing light to the right side. The sequence repeated over and over. The object did not move in any direction; it was static except for what appeared to be a slight left to right motion like a wavering. It was visible until the sky began to lighten.

Canby, OR
For multiple nights on clear nights I am able to observe to the west what appears to be a floating pyramid with just the outside edges lit up. I am well aware of star link and it is not that. Star leak does appear in our skies I am well aware of it like I just said. As far as the second witness she is an elderly woman that lives in the same building that I am temporarily living in that I talked to on occasion when downstairs having a cigarette. She seems very with it and strong mentally. I forgot to mention that I can see the pyramid moving up down left right I'm diagonally zip over here zip over there although my field of view it is only about an inch at a time but what confuses me is If this was a satellite it was just drift across the sky If it was a Celestial object it wouldnt appear in the same part of the sky every day for as long as I've seen it in the same spot. I also have to say that I am a seasoned researcher into the UFO phenomenon. My last name ! has military legacy in the Air Force through my father and His brother. My father was in the Air Force So it was his brother but he went on into the intelligence community after. I am told he's not allowed to answer Russia but I don't want to say anymore on that subject out of respect 4 MI uncle.

Alto, NM
My husband and I were looking eastward in the sky. It was approximately 8 or 9 pm. Suddenly four bright lights appeared in the sky. They appeared from nowhere and were very bright and big - about a third to a half the size that the full moon would appear in the sky. The lights wavered somewhat and they each appeared to be a slightly different color. Then they wavered and then lights went out. There was no noise of any kind to indicate aircraft. The lights were present for about six seconds. We discussed what we had seen and we both saw the same thing. I later told a friend about it and she said her friend had seen the same thing over Cloudcroft New Mexico about 23:00 hours.

Two lights hovering in close proximity, one larger than the other. Smaller one emitting “puffs” that appeared as clouds as it maneuvered slowly and deliberately underneath the larger light. Both lights gently and slowly decreased altitude while dimming and eventually receded behind their self-generated mist as they aligned closer together.

Dover and on my way home, AR
I was on my way home from work on September 14, 2021 and I was crossing the Bayou Bridge at Dover I was on the phone with my cousin and saw strange lights in the sky I was like what is that in the sky but I was meeting traffic so I said it must be a reflection. I drove on up the road where the road is straight and I saw a huge object just hovering in the sky and I said to her there's something in the sky so I kept going and it was out of sight. I continued home and talked to her until I lost cell service. I turned off of Hwy. 164 onto my county road and I went down the hill and around a curve and I saw it in the sky again it was hovering just above the treeline at the bottom of the hill to my house. I was frightened and wasn't sure what to do. I slowed down and was looking at it. It was large and had really bright Orangeish lights on it. It's really hard to describe what the lights looked like. I reached down to get a phone and try to get a picture and then it just vanished. I couldn't hear any sounds coming from it at all. I proceeded on up to open the gate to my property and when I got out to unlock the gate I heard jets and helicopters like they were chasing the UFO. I was terrified that night and got home and raced in the house I was too terrified to sleep much that night. I felt like the UFO had followed me was waiting but got scared away. I called my cousin and told her the whole story because I was so shaken.

It was sitting on saddle junction mountain to the southwest side. We had never seen such a huge bright light. Was the size of at least two football fields. Made a pyramid shape of light and after 20seconds just disappeared.

Temple Terrace, FL
I witnessed multiple strange white lights moving above me, in cloud cover on the evening of 09-12-2021 in the city of Temple Terrace, Florida (East of Tampa, Florida). I had gone to run on the track of a local middle school around 10:30 pm. I noticed the lights over ahead of me while I was running and for about 15 minutes afterwards. There were at least 4-5 white lights moving and zipping around rapidly in the sky above, sometimes in formation, but more often not in formation. I decided to record the lights, and as I was recording, an airplane came right through the area where the lights were. The lights were zooming and zigzagging around the aircraft, which continued flying East to West. The plane is a steady moving red light in the video and I could see the white lights moving around the plane. I did not hear any sounds other than the plane engine. I will be attempting to send video separately.

Dayton, WA
I was driving from Portland OR to Lewiston ID. Around 9:40pm, outside Dayton WA, heading east on Highway 12, near milepost 372, I came around the corner (crest) and saw an object about 200-225 ft off the left side of the road, slightly below me, lifting up. I stopped, rolled down my window and heard a very light sound similar to a Lear jet, as it lifted and flew away. I watched for about 25 seconds and saw only red and white lights as it disappeared southwest. During this time, I was able to see it lift on my left side, rising to fly away. It was night with the moon illuminating the object. It appeared dark metallic, about 35-40 feet in length with windows. Maybe 8-10 feet in height. I could not see inside. It had one light at each end which stayed constant. A bright red band of light circled the bottom of the craft, keeping a constant color.

Litchfield park, AZ
Observed a circular shaped object rotating green,blue,red,orange and white lights. On a relative heading of 270 at very high altitude. My father pointed it out to my wife and I we went out back to look. She is a trained USAF meteorologist as I am myself from my time in the USMC. I’ve also been a pilot for 7 years. I have never seen anything like this before. It was stationary and not moving as I observed a star in the background to use as reference to its position. I used a 60x spotting scope and it’s colors were vibrant and rotating. It stayed bright and in one spot for 20 minutes then started to slowly fade into the distance. Eventually becomes a bright ball of orange as it faded. Went back outside at 2150 and the object was completely gone. If I had to guess off my years of flying/meteorological experience I’d put the craft at a altitude of roughly 40 to 50k feet. The only way to describe to colors was like a rotating Christmas tree of colors but was very! much shaped like a ball possibly disk.

I was skating to 711 when I looked up and noticed what looked like a comet or something with a faint oval shaped ring of light around it. When I looked closer I noticed it wasn't moving and was sitting stationary. I looked at it for about 45 seconds when it started floating away and I realized it was hovering directly above the neighborhood less than a few hundred feet up. The ring around it disappeared once it flew off so I think it was an outline of the craft that I only saw because of the lighting or something. When it flew away I thought it was a plane or helicopter or something but it was way too fast and was making all of these u turns and zigzag. I watched it fly over the horizon in less than a minute. I took a video of it but it is really faint and it just looks like a star or a plane. I have a galaxy s9 and the camera isn't great for night shots so I could barely see it once I looked at the video. I have always wanted to see something like this and I expected it to be much more exciting. It was pretty awesome to see but I almost didn't even believe I saw it and assumed it was something easily explained until I thought about it for a while and talked to a buddy about it.

I thought it might be a parachute canopy, but it did not descend, and had nothing hanging from it. I put the binoculars on it, and there were intricate lights underneath the concave shape. It moved like a drone, but it was as big as my truck…. Slowly moved south bound. I didn’t see it do anything fantastic.

Apache Junction, AZ
Approximately fifteen miles to the south of us we saw a large stationary disk, gold in color hovering at an undetermined height. Below the disk were many brightly colored objects that seemed to be drawn or attracted to the disk. In a very chaotic fashion and independent of each other they would at high speed ascend to the disk some would swirl up and others would shoot straight up and every variable in between. Some of the objects were extremely bright while others were relatively dim. We saw many colors, red, blue, orange, white and green. The whole incident was fast and furious. It resembled insects attracted a bright light. The background of observer one is a retired medical specimen processor for a major medical laboratory. Observer number two is Healthcare worker who works with disabled adults. At 6:40am the incident was still happening and was observed the preceding day at the same times and was also undetermined as to when it ended.

I was in the yard of my house and took photos of an stationary object in the NE night sky. It appears in the photos to be circular with a geometric design in the center.
