Fairbanks, AK
On Monday, 09/06/2021 my friend (recently retired Homer policeman) sent me a text saying that a buddy of his on the Fairbanks police force had seen a UFO. He forwarded two video clips of the UFO from his police friend. Apparently it was "dead quiet" when the UFO was overhead. The FPD officer also said that it wasn't long after seeing the UFO that four jets (from Eielson AFB) did a number of passes in the area - what the police officer presumed was in search of the UFO.

Was sitting upstairs feeding baby and looking out window to pass time. Saw lights in the form of a triangle above the house across the street. Was sitting still then started moving slowing. Vanished in thin air. Just gone and never reappeared.

Sinking Spring, PA
I was letting my dog out last night and I for no reason looked to my left and the were 2 round orange (ish) Like they were on fire, round crafts moving about in a random travel path. They circled back twice then disappeared. I have it on video but it does not do justice to what I saw. This is the second sighting I've had in this area. The first were 3 small cubicle crafts that had the same color but their texture seemed to resemble hammered metal.

A fire ball of an object appeared over my house. It was sitting in one place as I filmed it but began to move when the film started. It was white. Then there were two blue oblong type shaped items the showed in the video. It was a cloudy evening there were no stars showing. I shot two videos of the object.

I took a photo of my friend and the Live Photo captured an object flying past her had. It looks like the object flys across the sky in less than a second. The still photo looks like a circular object with a green light. The object does not look like a drone or plane

I turned off Pacific Coast Highway and headed North on Decker Canyon Rd. at approx. 11:25am. It was a clear bright afternoon with little or no clouds in the sky. As I was winding up through the canyon I took a picture of the windy road to share with a friend. It was not until after I came home and reviewed the picture that I noticed something strange in the upper left corner. After blowing up the picture I noticed the object were not clouds as I thought while I was driving up the road.

In one of the 7 photos I had taken one of them catches an object coming from the south looping above the elk herd. The photos are Live Photos that play for 3 seconds or so. This happened in broad daylight.

Five orange objects moving from south/ southwest to north/ northeast. Two lead objects followed by a single object, then two more. High altitude, all moving at approximately the same (high) speed. They appeared to glow, not lights. Silent.

My wife and I were fishing on a dock at Swift Creek Reservoir around 9:00 on Saturday 9/4/2021. We were looking up at the stars trying to identify which were planets and which were stars. I noticed a very small, faint object which appeared to be at a very high altitude moving at what looked to me as a very fast speed. I thought that maybe my eyes hadn’t adjusted to the darkness and maybe the object was a glare of some sort in my vision from looking up for so long. I looked away from the object and focused on a star that was nearby. The object kept going and I was able to clearly follow it across the sky (west to east). I yelled at my wife “Do you see that? She came over and could see it immediately. As we followed it, it seemed to start to “wobble”. Then a second object appeared next to the original one. They maintained the same path of flight but looked as if they were spinning around each other. The two began to change course and head north. This is when t! hey began to drift apart at the same rate of speed almost mirroring each other. As they got further away they both appeared to “wobble” again and they just flew away until we could no longer see them .

Baltimore, MD
Well first, I'd like to say that at the time of the sighting in 9/2021, I posted my vid & thoughts to Reddit. Many thought it was Chinese Lanterns, which I swear these can't be. I've seen them at launch and in they sky...lanterns weave with the wind; the color flickers because of the flame source. These did not. A web-reporter from a web blog, Pen News asked me to share what I saw for their site (name withheld on purpose). I never saw the article. I also did not post on MUFON because the last time I did, the investigator sent me googled pics of pigeons for comparison, so I can't take them seriously. What I did write and what I saw is below, as written to the reporter: 1. Where and when was this recorded? I recorded it on Saturday, 9/4/21 between 8:15-8:20pm. I was on McMechen St., walking east towards McCulloh St., where I live, here in Baltimore, Maryland. Specifically, Baltimore City. 2. How did you come to notice the shape in the sky? I noticed the objects as I came out of a corner store on Druid Hill Drive and McMechen St. I was crossing the street and looked up. They were bright in the sky and I live in the city, so it was odd to see. 3. What did you think it was when you first spotted it? In the video, you hear me say, "So, what the f*** are these?" That was my first reaction, heh. My first action when I saw them was to grab my phone. I have a Samsung s20+ with the side button set for a double-tap to get to my camera. I thought, "I gotta get this." I wasn't sure what I was looking at. In my part of the city, we constantly have police helicopters day and night. Those have running lights even when the spotlight isn't on. Other helicopters like MediVacs and news choppers make plenty of noticeable noise. These were silent so I knew they were odd. 4. Can you describe its appearance? (This helps for visually impaired readers) When I first looked up, there were a good six, maybe seven big, bright orange lights. They were distinctly orange, solid and round. I say round, but I mean the light. I couldn't see anything inside or behind them or anything like that. The center of the orbs was a bit brighter orange than the outer edge, like a soft glow. By the time I started filming them, I could only see four of them, so they either faded or were out of vision behind the trees within line of sight. In the video, the fourth light had dimmed and looked like a regular star. It wasn't orange anymore. You can faintly see it to the left of the top left orange light, moving at the same speed as the others. The last three lights that are prominent in the video held a triangular formation that did not stretch, warp or twist. I've heard other people comment on similar sightings that the lights started moving around in fast motions or rotate around each other. These lights did not. They were either floating or flying slowly toward the left of my vision. At this point, I'm still standing on McMechen St., and start walking toward my apt. building on McCulloh St. I was facing to the East, so these lights were floating toward the North, as far as I could tell. If I had to judge, I'd say from the ground to where these lights were located would maybe be 40-45 degrees vertically? I didn't have to strain my neck to look up or anything, they were very noticeable, but also high above the horizon. I panned left, because the kid walking by in the video scared me a little and I turned my head. I try to be alert when walking at night, but didn't see him because I was focused on the big-ass lights in the sky! I also thought they were awfully bright to be seen under the street lights in the city. You can see the glare from the street lights in the video, dancing around but that is purely lens reflection. When I got to my corner, two of my neighbors with their baby were sitting on the stoop, looking up at them too. I asked if they had any idea what they were, but they said they were still trying to figure it out too. I should've asked how long they were watching them, but I ran inside (to the 3rd floor) to get my friend to see if we could see them. By the time I came back outside, they were gone, so I just showed him what I just filmed. I say there were three orbs or lights, because other viewers have asked if it seemed like a solid triangle. It did not. I didn't seem to notice anything blocking out the sky behind them or anything, only the lights. I thought they looked individual. 5. Have you had any good explanations for what it might have been? A lot of people have suggested Chinese Lanterns and drones, but from my knowledge, I can not confirm that at all. Nor do I believe it was close enough to the ground for drone flight, residential at least. If it was drone activity, they were far enough away that I wouldn't hear any motors. If they were lanterns, they were awfully coordinated to keep steady in that type of formation. A user on Reddit posted a video in my comment thread for an example of a triangular shape using lanterns. While they managed to make the triangle, the video was filmed from right below the launch point with no way to determine elevation. It wasn't convincing to me at all. I see drones used by private users as well as commercially for architecture projects. I know they need to be registered and need to have lights to avoid potential air-traffic collisions. Even zoomed in, I couldn't see anything like that on the orange lights. Farther off in the same direction, would be Harford County. In that county, there is Aberdeen Proving Grounds. Someone said it could've been military activity? I doubt that, as I've never noticed anything like that in these skies since we moved here in '85. To the south of where I am, there is BWI Airport in Linthicum, MD. Someone mentioned possibly static-looking airliner headlights. I've seen them, know them well. That effect is usually seen on planes coming in from the Northwest. Plenty of those I've watched until they've come into focus. These are moving away from the airport, as far as I can tell. 6. What do you think it is now? Is there anything that makes you doubt it? I still don't know what I was seeing Saturday night. Until I hear otherwise or another user from Baltimore chimes in with a better video, I was seeing a UAP as far as I'm concerned. 7. Do you believe that there is intelligent life in space? If so, do you think it has ever visited Earth? I am a firm believer that there are intelligent beings in space, probably here on Earth as well. I do believe they've been here for a long time, visiting, living, using/helping mankind or the planet for whatever reasons there may be. Too many possibilities to rule it out. EVERYBODY can't be wrong or lying. I'd just like the knowledge that there is more than this. 8. Have you encountered something like this before? Only once. I was waiting for a Lyft at lunchtime (12pm) in Harbor East, Baltimore and I looked up. I always look up. Way up in the sky, I'd say northeast of where I was looked like a star, moving very slowly towards the South towards the bay. It was glinting. Not uniformly and not like a reflection off of a plane. The only thing I could think of was like a wrinkly, mylar balloon, like the "birthday" type? The only thing about that was, it was far too high to be a balloon. If it was, that had to be the largest balloon in existence lol. It was too high to see any shape, I could only see the light glinting. It was steadily moving slowly...from my line of sight, it went behind a construction crane and I waited for it and sure enough, it kept going. When my ride came, I told the driver about it and I could still see it after moving a block away. He was completely uninterested. I actually filmed that and sent it to MUFON. An investigator contacted me via email and asked for the photos, which they compared to google map pictures of freaking pigeons at building height. Needless to say, I did not send this in to MUFON. 9. Is there anything else you'd like to add? Apologies for the noise.

I was heading west on 150 hwy on my motorcycle and there was not a cloud for has far as you could see.Then I look up again and there is not a cloud cause there was no thickness too it,It was like a hole in the sky and I look ahead of me and thats when i seen this very bright orange glowing bell shaped object and on past the object on the left was another gray hole in the sky.The two clouds is what stands out in my mind,the first gray hole was behind the object and to the left,second gray hole was ahead of the object and to the right.The time and date is a guess,but there was a bunch of cars heading the same way I was.And when I turned right on to north bound I-49 I could not see anything anymore,the two gray holes is what was odd.

My wife and I witnessed 2 groups of 3 sphere shaped objects sitting stationary in triangle formation. The two triangle formations of 3 objects each, were at the same height hovering next to each other at what seemed like 5 miles away. The first formation of 3 objects moved together to form one larger object and disappeared and shortly after the second formation did the same. Thirty seconds to a minute later two objects that seemed to be the same size as the final larger shaped objects that formed out of the original formations, appeared much further left on the skyline but at the same distance flying the same direction and varying speeds until going out of view. Witness does not indicate a date for the sighting; elects to remain totally anonymous. PD

It was about 1 in the afternoon going through Taco Bell looking up over Dodge dealership and seeing 7 tiny diamond shaped objects at first I thought that they were Birds but every time they would move they would reflect a bright shiny silver color there was two that were remaining still the rest of them are moving and very weird patterns like triangles squares in a very uniform pattern and when I told the passenger to take a picture all of a sudden they had disappeared even the car in front of us was pointing and you can tell they were seeing what we were seeing

Saturday September 4th, 2021 Awoke to dog barking (as usual) at around 0315. Looked out my door window after going downstairs. Door faces directly south. Noticed unusually bright light in distance just above tree line. This is within urban city neighborhood. Object was very far off, almost appeared to be a planet or other star, but noticed Object "floating" around, moving slightly in a non rhythmic or patterned way. Wife observed Object after I made the risky decision to wake her. I continued to observe the Object for almost 2 hours until it slightly descended and gradually faded away toward the south. Object appeared to be triangular in shape. During the observation multiple photos and videos were taken from a samsung galaxy phone. Position and movement of object over time clearly shows it was not following a trajectory or orbit. Object would fade and brighten multiple times. Weather was clear skies with little to no cloud coverage. Other stars and planets in sky were clearly visible. Using the Skyview app, the object appeared at first to be Bunda, a star in the Aquarius constellation. However, the movement and brightness of the object did not align with that theory.

I have been seeing things daily. I have a ton of pictures and videos! Problem is we are dealing with ufos they don’t show up when I try to send them just on the original video! The last video I took was a plane flying and two things lights in the sky.I tried emailing them to see if anything would show up.I had no luck so if anyone wants to see my videos please let me know? Thank you I am out of storage on my phone and I’m going to clear it thank you. Since my first encounter I have been having bloody noses. Never had one that I can remember.

I was outside smoking my nightly cigarette when I seen a light zoom over the sidewalk in front of me. It then appeared again from behind me above my apartment before disappearing into the sky. This all happened really fast I’d say probably about 30 seconds or a minute. It was orange and small probably about the size of a winter sled. Also I didn’t get the normal vibes from this sighting it was super scary and strange feeling

Unmoving bright flickering light in the Western sky. Originally thought to be a plane, then helicopter. However, FL was too high for helicopter. Next though it was a planet or bright star with some sort of atmospheric effect that would cause flickering. With hands cupped around eyes to reduce light pollution, it appeared to have a sort of "eclippse" effect. Like there was something behind the light. A different dark 'color' than the night sky? It's tough to explain. Could have just been my eyes playing tricks, but I've never seen anything like it and I was an air traffic controller for nearly 7 years.

15 people were doing a sky watch event in Blooming Grove Pa.in the Pocono Mts. in northeastern Pa. Very clear night. 9:44 pm. Two of us saw in the west approximately 15 miles out from out position three lights slowly moving away from us possibly over and around Sterling Pa. heading towards Scranton Pa. probably following interstate 84. We had high powered binoculars. To the naked eye it was three yellowish-pinkish lights in a row. They reminded me of mercury vapor lights. Definitely not natural. Size-wise, they were about the size of a pencil eraser. The lights were horizontal. When we looked through the binoculars we began to suspect we may be looking at the back of a craft that must have been large. It moved very slowly covering maybe the length of a finger in 5 minutes till we lost it behind the treeline. Too slow to be a plane by a lot! But huge. But here was what was especially odd. Through the binocs, you could see under the three yellow lights that t! here were three tiny tiny red lights. One in the middle slightly off to one side of the center yellow/pink light and two slightly offset and in from the two outside yellow/pink lights. And the red lights blinked but randomly and not sequentially. They also didnt blink fast. One would blink once and then a second later another would blink once sort of leisurely. Our combined thoughts were that we were possibly looking at the back of a large black triangle.

My daughter and I saw a bright, White light simply appear, not high up, But in the sky, and then instantly dropped down. It stayed bright white and it happened within a second or two. The drop was not at a sideways angle, It literally dropped straight down very quickly. The light was extremely bright as well. My daughter asked if I saw it and I told her yes but I didn’t say anything right away because I didn’t think she would believe me. I can’t really say it was a shape, just a bright light. iIt was fairly large in size but not huge, as it’s hard to tell size when we didn’t have anything to compare it to, there really aren’t any houses where we saw it. It was dark outside. The brightness stayed consistent until we didn’t see it anymore. It appeared drop straight down stayed the same bright color and it happened in seconds

I was sitting at the stoplight on Walnut St and State of Franklin, directly across from the stoplight in front of me, I saw a triangle craft with 3 lights on it, one on top and two on bottom. The lights were very close together. It high above the tree line. Within a matter of seconds, it was below the tree line, and I couldn’t see it anymore. It just moved in a straight line, downwards. There was also no sound.

The object was shaped what I could best describe as a shield-like shape. Rounded at the front, with a round protrusion at the rear. It was completely dark with no lights that I could see. I could see it because it blotted out the sky and stars. I would estimate the altitude at about where airliners fly. Maybe 30,000 feet. It was very large. Estimate at least 500x500 ft. It was completely silent and was flying at a high rate of speed. It was travelling almost directly from north to south and only took about 5 seconds to travel from horizon to horizon.
