Athens, GA
A bright white light flying relatively low to the ground flew halfway through my observable sky from the cover of the tree line behind me at a tremendous speed, proceeding to take an almost perfect hard 90° left turn without slowing down at all and then vanishing out of my line of sight at an unfathomable speed. All of this occurred without the craft making any sound whatsoever.

I was down Murfreesboro Rd going under the runway by airport. When i came out from under it I seen 2 bright lights with some dimmer lights above it. They were really low in the sky. It was 2 of them because they were moving in different directions. It looked almost like parachutes because of the way but it was dark so I couldnt see anything else. As i watched them move away from the airport headed east one got dimmer. I lost them in a back road but when i turned onto smith springs rd i seen them again. They were higher in the sky. Then i seen one of them just shoot off going Very very fast in the sky. I lost the other one.

I saw one object with dotted green and red lights. There were 3 green and 2 red lights that were blinking rhythmically. The entire object remained stationary for the whole time I saw it in the sky. It disappeared after around 10-15 mins of when I first saw it. I have shared a 10 sec video of it in the email.

Around 730pm I looked up from my driveway and saw a weird aircraft I’ve never seen before that was flying very low and huge with that looked like one diamond shape connected to a larger diamond shape with a regular plane following, it emitted a kind of hum I’ve never heard, that’s what I noticed first. I took out my iPhone and tried to record and got a nine second clip that is dark but shows the lights

It lasted about 20 seconds 30 seconds maybe I got three picture of two pictures my angle of was only like 30 degrees maybe a visual sky and it came across one about 30 seconds 40 seconds to go across the sky is above San Jose I would say above 5000 feet about and it look like a giant gigantic light bulb the light bulb. It look like a gigantic fluorescent light bulb but when I took the picture you can see different forms and the actual shape of the craft whatever it is picture says a thousand words I guess

In flight, KY
September 02, 2021, 14:15 Eastern Time, United Airlines Flight # UA3412, window seat D (near aircraft’s right-hand, just forward of wing). We were somewhere near the borders of North Carolina, Kentucky, and West Virginia. Flightradar24 mobile app says we were at an altitude of 28,000 feet. Weather was fairly clear (some clouds). For approximately 10 seconds, I saw one, white, inverted (upside-down) “Y” go past our right wingtip. In the distance was another white aircraft (presumably civilian). I served in the Air Force for 6 years as a 2A3X2 ( F-16 Avionics Technician on the flight line), and experienced many aircraft in the US defense inventory. Additionally, I worked for a civilian aircraft manufacturer for 10 years. This was unlike any aircraft I’ve ever seen. As a skeptic, I have been researching what it could’ve been for about a month now, and I don’t have an explanation or a viable theory. Maybe an experimental aircraft in a vertical stall??

As I was walking south down a sidewalk on Recker and Guadalupe, I heard an electric surge from power lines above me, and when I looked up there was this silent military sized large drone object hovering about 500-1000 feet above the power lines. At first it kind of floated, and a contraption extended from it, like the head of the robot from the 80s film, "Short Circuit," and it seemed to monitor the power lines. Then for about 20-30 seconds the drone remained stationary above the power lines at a hover. The ufo was the shape and form of a playstation controller. When I moved north to get a better look at it the ufo did a slight glide manuever and then vanished without a trace. If it was a drone I would've seen it as it fled but this thing literally just vanished in thin air. I believe it was analysing or monitoring the power grid. I don't think the electric company has sophiscated drones like this to send out and monitor power lines, it was a uf! o!

Eau Claire, WI
Driving home from work and saw a bright light in the north sky. Thought it was a star or planet until it started to move east at a rapid speed; than came back, and went to a higher altitude, and the lights became faint. Within 20 seconds it came back to the same altitude and the lights where bright again. I live by the Chippewa Valley Airport and saw another plane in the same vicinity, but off a ways, north of the object. The object than stayed in the same spot for about a minute, and than started to move east again. The lights suddenly disappeared, and nothing could be seen. It was a clear night, with a few low light status clouds. The object looked like lights stacked on top of each other, flashing different colors, with some lights being brighter than the others. I described the object to others as a flying Christmas tree, but that was my first impression at the time. My sighting is similar to the one seen recently in Kenosha WI near the Illinois border.! This was just reported by Ultimate Unxplained, seen by several people, described as lights stacked on top of each other, and the light suddenly go out. I have lived by this airport my entire life, have seen all kinds of aircraft, including the Good Year Blimp, but this was different. It maneuvered differently, and is why it probably caught my attention. My son-in-law told me it is illegal to fly drones at night, and never within a mile of an airport, but I believe this object was much bigger than a drone. In addition, I have never seen an aircraft turn off their safety strobe lights in the air. There is a tower at the airport with radar, but I haven't read anything about strange lights in the sky in the Eau Claire area.

Orbs that appeared during Hurricane Ida, with a lightning storm in the background, but unaffected in the open space we were sitting. No rain, no close lightning. One of the orbs started dancing around itself and in the next video created light and attracted other orbs. Last photo has about 6. It freaked us out at first and then was mostly light energy and seemed very positive… I’m not sure in what order the videos sent, but the first one, and most important seems to be too large and I don’t know how to compress it. Can share in a different manner.

Hodgkins, IL
There were no clouds outside at the time it happened at about 6:52PM. There were clouds in area at around 4PM. It was a perfect blue sky at 6:52PM. I noticed like a white tic-tac shaped object moving super slow while it was flying as high as you can fly in the sky that looked like it was headed towards the town of Willowbrook while I am in Hodgkins. I told myself watch there be another so I turned my head to the right and there was another one following it at the same height in sky and going the same speed about 4 miles apart from each other. Then noticed a low flying plane flying on the side below going the opposite way thinking maybe the passengers in plane can maybe see them if looking out window while looking up. I kept watching both at all times. I had no phone with me. Then noticed maybe the sun started glaring on the first one for a few seconds. After watching both for about 4 minutes both of them disappeared at the same time. Then as I walked off I w! alked about 700 feet away I noticed another one in sky same height in sky and same speed in sky for 8 seconds headed towards Chicago then disappeared. I told one person I saw three out here that disappeared. Then told 2 others 10 minutes later what happened. All 3 looked like tic-tacs.

Salem, OR
We were at the Oregon State Fair and noticed some shapes to the north. We thought they may be balloons or sky divers. As we watched the objects move to the west, they changed formations. They were random formations at first and then moved into lines, a circle, and then into an arrow (two connecting lines) before disappearing in the west.

This happened in Houston close to downtown on 45 north and Main street while I was at the light.I was looking up like always when all the sudden I see 2 bright white ambulance type color lights in midar on my left side facing south.So I basically have downtown in front. The height was not many feet since they were noticable.There was no shape it was just lights.One would go up the other would follow,then across then it would follow like if they were playing tagg.I saw them for a few seconds because my aunt was in the front with her car and panic because i kept honking and pointing up but the light turned green and she was unable to see, although we did stop on the other side of the road which would be going north. I told her what had happen.

I was in my backyard at about 8:35pm tonight and looked up just as an orange ball of light was shooting west to east direction, very fast, silent, and then it disappeared. It was about as high up as an airplane that is getting near an airport.

Unionvale, NY
I was driving down on a mountain road when I saw a rectangular craft low in the sky directly in front of my car. This is a remote area and I would have heard it if it was a plane but there was no sound. It was a dull gray but glinted in the sunshine. It was not moving like any aircraft I’ve ever seen; it just seemed to be hanging stationary in the sky. I slowed my car but rounded a bend where trees obstructed my view. I knew there was a clearing around that bend and pulled over when I reached it because it would give me a clear sight line. I got out of my car and turned around to see the craft without tree obstruction and it was gone. It wasn’t more than a minute from my point of vision to arriving at the clearing – how could something that big just disappear from sight when it didn’t even appear to be moving?

Walked out my front door and saw two orange lights side by side with what can only be described as a orangish red comet tail shooting down from the sky very low over my neighbors house across the street. We see things like this all the time but much higher in the sky. This one was very low and just disappeared

Walked outside.. didn't think much of it with stars & nighttime sorties near AFB. But sat out there are what appeared as a star.. this one suddenly moved North-NorthEast, stopped, moved slightly south, then moved again North-NorthEast then stopped. Since skies were clear it appeared it was between Bowie & Nocona. I went inside to get something to film this, came out & it was gone. This lasted 30-minutes & wish I had filmed it. Very bright inverted-diamond.

Roswell, NM
There is a NW area of Roswell I wanted to film some footage for my YouTube Paranormal Show. I stopped at the location that seem suitable along Highway 246 NW of Roswell NM. I set up my Camera, and right away I took 5 pictures at 11:04 am on 8/30/2021. The First 3 have this very large mist object in them, the other 2 do not. You can see through this mist in the picture, so that is telling me it is not no bug, or bird. When you look at all three pictures you can tell it's moving. The Third Picture in the series will be sent by email to ufocntr@nwlink.com .

Sandpoint, ID
Looking toward Western sky, my sister and I watched an object with a bright, white light at the head and a smaller, white light at the end of what seemed to be a bar. It was dark, so we were unable to see actual shape. But it was very long. Object moved swiftly overhead toward Eastern sky. There was no flashing, both lights were steady. Maybe a low sound was emitted not sure as there was some manufacturing noise.

Bright object remained still in the early morning sky. Disk or Saucer shape, except it was long ways top to bottom.

Atlantic Beach, NC
Laying on the beach at night close the the Ferris wheel on Carolina beach, small fast moving white lites in the sky moving quickly, sometimes making a small nimble change in direction, but most following the same path, most of the lights were traveling individually, but now snd the your would see a2 or 3 acting as if they are racing. This same sighting was on both nights we were at the beach. The lights are very small and unless you are focused on looking at stars you might miss them. It almost appeared to be drones racing but the light was a single small white light on all of them. No sound was observed.

Bright white and red/orange lights flashing and darting around in the night sky. I watched it for about 40 minutes and took 2 videos with my iPhone. It was so bright!

Des Moines, WA
I was on Alaska Airlines flight #1460 from Las Vegas to Seattle, seated in a window seat 7A. I was looking out the window as we flew over Tacoma, making a left turn into SeaTac to land. At about the time we were flying over Des Moines on final approach I saw an object appear to be level with us, either stationary or slowly moving relative to the plane. As we flew by, it was only visible for a few seconds. The object was perfectly spherical and white in appearance. It was not reflective, but smooth. It's difficult to estimate it's size and distance, but my guess is it was about 100 to 200 feet from the left wingtip, and 3' to 6' in diameter. My first thought was that it might be a balloon, except that it was perfectly spherical (nothing was hanging from it) and opaque white in color, not transparent at all.
