Saw a slow moving object with bright lights that did not have the colors of a normal plane, was moving slowly then an airplane would be moving. Saw it going over my house as I watched this object with bright lights out of the living room window but did not see it come back over my house as I was looking out my bedroom window.

I sat up quickly and it was just hovering there. As soon as I looked at it it started to move. Flew right past me into the corner of the field paused for a second then took off through westmoor Park. All the while making this loud metallic rumbling hum and then off into the sky. I was breathless to say the least. I look down at my girl friend and she is still snoring. I literally sat there for 15 minutes just in shock with what I had witnessed. There has not been a day that has gone by where I haven't thought about it. I emailed the principle of the school begging him to check his cameras but never got a reply. I drew a map of how it happened and told my girl and parents but don't know what else to do. I am a decorated combat veteran of the afghan war and have very good observation skills. This is not my first ufo encounter but it is by far the closest and most baffling thing I have ever seen. When I woke up to the hum it was hovering maybe 10 feet from the ground and shining a bright red light. Then it performed its maneuvers. The whole time about 10 ft from the ground until it reached the edge of the park. Then it shot into the sky.

It was 2:30am and I had a fire going in my backyard fire pit and noticed something blinking in the sky and moving from spot to spot, almost like it was trying to get my attention. As I focused on it, it stopped blinking and stayed lit. I was seeing it through a narrow gap in trees so I moved to my front yard to get a better line of sight and it followed me up there. I flashed my phone light at it several times and then it zipped from spot to spot, up down, right left. It got extremely close to me, right above my neighborhood at the height local helicopters fly. I have numerous videos of this craft and when you zoom in and slow it down, as it’s flying up and down, it appears to be a burning ball of bright white and green gas, rapidly spinning while expanding and contracting. I am convinced it was interacting with me, not only because it followed me and was putting on a show but because thats the feeling I got, its hard to explain. Also, when zoomed in, ! it appears to be a classic “flying saucer” with some sort of force field around it. Ive reported it to MUFON and multiple investigators said it is what is seen all over the world. The experience lasted from 2:30am to 2:58am before it suddenly shot into the sky. I recently submitted a Freedom of Information Act for the sky radar with the FAA but we’ll see if they end up sending that to me. What I saw was real, it was not of this world, it was personal and it was breathtaking and shocking.

Albany, OR
Was standing on our front porch facing North and noticed a very large and bright light towards Salem flicker, dim and then brighten to the point where it looked like an illustration of a star. The object then quickly darted west approximately 30 degrees and did it again. Then it darted back to the East about 40 degrees and faded away. I got video and was able to get a pretty good still from the footage. My neighbor was driving to Salem at the time and saw it as well. She stated that it was North of Salem and was big.

Manorville, NY
We also considered a spotlight, but because of the location of the light (appearing above the clouds) we had skepticism of a spotlight or searchlight. At times, the light appeared blue and red as it trailed across the sky. As this unfolded, we pulled over to witness the light for two minutes and could not determine the source or nature of the light. There were two of us on this night. The weather was overcast and cool (65°F-70°F).

Chattanooga, TN
Chattanooga Tennessee August 28, 2021, between sunset and twilight 8:30pm and 8:39pm . A fellow musician was invited to play music at a private party on the rooftop of a home and I played percussion that night. During the time I was not playing I struck up a conversation with a beautiful long white haired woman in a white dress visiting from CA. It was still fairly light outside when all the sudden I noticed a really bright planet and pointed it out. We both sat marveling at its beauty. As I scanned the sky as I often do at dusk to my left between Lookout mountain and Elder mountain I could see the aquarium and Olgiati bridge. Then I noticed an even brighter light but it wasn’t yellowish In color like the previous planet/star I had been eyeing. Nope this was different. This array of light was right between Lookout and Elder,that’s how low to the ground it was. This clear silver white,bright light was neither a star nor a planet. Almost like a spotlight on steroids. ‘do you see what I’m seeing,or is it just me?’ She replied ‘oh no,it’s not just you I see it too.’ I was like,’have you ever seen anything that bright before?’ She said, ‘I can’t recall ever,maybe it’s a satellite.’ ‘No, satellites are way way way higher up in the atmosphere. I have seen satelites before this thing feels like it’s right in our face!’ ‘Maybe it’s the North Star?’ It was located South West and within the earths troposhphere so it couldn’t have been a star. I just kept carrying on how unbelievably bright and BIG it was. The shape looked like a mix of great heptagram,irregular polygon and heptagram. It never moved from that one spot. It was a single object for sure. It did not sway side to side nor move from the spot we first began seeing it at. It was literally like a hole was ripped into the atmosphere. It didn’t move. Didn’t budge. I ran to get my cell phone to film this and by the time I pulled up my camera I watched it start to fade. Then flicker almost as if someone was blowing out an electronic candle. Slowly this light was disapating until the shine was completely out. It’s like it just withdrew itself from the universe. Almost like it was never there to begin with. Another way to describe the shape and color was like the sparkle on a diamond ring. No it wasn’t cloud cover that made it fade away. This brightness was not a plane nor a helicopter. It appeared in one spot and disappeared in the same spot.

It looked like an upside down skeleton key shape, my first thought was that it was someone wearing a jet pack. It moved steadily across the sky and disappeared from view. It was still daylight.

Atlanta, GA
We were at a Chris Stapleton concert when I looked up in the sky and saw a formation of circular aircraft flying over. They weren’t going fast but some of them did seem to speed up and slow down along with traveling counter to the direction of the bulk of the craft. They appeared silver in color. There is one that reminded me of one of the alien craft portrayed in the original Star Trek series. It seemed to have many lights on it that kept flashing. At times it looked as if one or two of the craft might have let loose another craft. This area is near the Atlanta Airport so there were planes in the air but not near these objects.

There is a white circular object that looks the size of a planet or star but the sun has not set yet. It seems to be higher than the airplanes flying around. One thought is it could be a weather balloon, but not sure what those would look like.

I was sitting in Walmart parking lot eating some lunch and I was just taking a picture of the clouds they had a peculiar squareness to the sides of them didn't know that I caught something else in the photo until I got home and was cropping the photograph so I will send the original photo and then the zoomed-in cropped photo so you can see the craft because the original zoomed out photo you cannot see it at all.

On August 28, 2021 I was in Mineral Bluff, Georgia (Near Blue Ridge.) I mounted a cell phone to a stand to record clouds going by. I then transferred the file to a P.C. and discovered an object that seemed to roll into view and have antennas and a pink hue at one point then ascending and vanishing.

Bothell, WA
There was a bright starlight in the sky and then I realized it was moving upward like a plane. It was right after the sun was setting, the whole sight was about 15 seconds. As it went up it suddenly took a 90 degree turn to the right. I thought that was odd so I kept watching it. It went straight up in the air then dipped down, then back up again like a loop but fast enough it couldn't be a plane as if you were drawing with crayon in the sky. It went steady up and to the right in the sky. Looking East near Mill Creek.

My son and husband saw a triangular shaped object with bright blinking lights flying low and slow over the Minuteman Campground. They think lights were yellow, red, blue, and purple. The lights were extremely bright. The lights were outlining the triangle. There was no noise coming from the object.

Duck, OH
We were standing on the beach, observing the stars and night sky. Off to the East high in the sky, multiple white lights faded in the view, move at extreme speed circling each other, moving at sharp angles, left to right and back to left. At one point, one white light split into two red orbs, that moved independently away from each other, then in sharp angles at a high rate of speed, then came back together into one white orb again. A couple of them shot off to the north and out of sight in a second. Eventually, they all blinked out one by one and disappeared.

Oakland, CA
I was walking along the Oakland harbor in the afternoon. The sky was deep blue with no clouds. As I was walking, I glanced up at the sky and noticed a round white shape in the sky. It could have been a sphere, an egg, or something along those lines. I did not see any features at all on it, although it was quite far away so it is possible that I just didn't see them if they existed. It appeared to very high up--perhaps between 5,000 and 25,000 feet high. When I first saw the object, it was hovering in one place. Then it started moving in an erratic zig-zag fashion. It instantly accelerated an moved at an angle, hovered for a second, then moved at another zig-zag type angle with insant-seeming acceleration, hovered again, and repeated this for perhaps half a dozen short jumps or so. It was generally moving in the direction of the bay/ocean. I would not have thought much of this object at all had it not been for this strange jumpy movement. The best analogy I have for it is that it reminded me of someone moving a mouse cursor around a screen. It just kind of clumsily and quickly jumps to the new place on the screen where you point it. So while the hovering could be consistent with a quadcopter type drone or something, the sudden erratic jumpy behavior was just unlike anything I've ever seen before. There was no smoothness to it at all. Just: jump! Hover. Jump! Hover. After the jumping behavior, it hovered in one spot for about 5-10 seconds. I was staring at it the whole time and had stopped walking at this point. While I was staring at it, it disappeared after the 5-10 seconds. For the entire rest of my walk I had my eyes up on the sky scanning for it but I never saw it again. Within about five minutes, I noticed a helicopter flying around the city that had not been out before. It passed by me twice. The helicopter was much much lower than the UFO. I also saw a small low-flying white airplane pass through this area as well. It did not look like a passenger jet--it seemed much smaller. There is an airport several miles to the south (which is also the direction the UFO was), so the small airplane coming from that direction could just be a coincidence. I did not have my phone on me because I don't like to take my phone out on walks.

I was driving my niece to cheer practice, I saw an object floating not moving in the sky pulsating like a welders arc you would see in a shop. So I'm sitting at the stop sign with my niece getting ready to head east debating if I should stare at it or keep driving. Along comes another object the same size and color darting out from the east. Both of these objects appeared right before a line of thunderstorms appeared and seemed to be pretty high up in the sky I would say 7,500 to 10,000 feet.

They asked me to show them the location of Earth/my Homeworld. I simply thought of earth and they knew the planet I'm on. The Zetas are cool, and considered 3 options: Invading Space Laser Hybridizing Human DNA They have the classical UFO shaped disk, with Greeen hands. They are clones, and have long lifespans.

LED flashing lights above corn field with other small flashing LED lights in tree line. Lights above corn were flashing in pattern and bobbing changing from circle to square. LED lights in tree line were flashing different colors and patterns as well as a pulsating rainbow light rod. No houses near by and all is very overgrown and nowhere people would be. Watched for 3 hours. First hour I thought I was on the phone with my husband for the whole hour. Timestamp on call was only 17 minutes.possible loss of time. Investigated the next day and found the corn to be too high and the wooded area to be too overgrown.

I just happen to scan the sky as I often do and saw 4 lights in a triangle formation moving from West to east. As they grained altitude they begin to flash and then disappear and then another one would come up to replace the one that disappeared.

Sandbridge/Virginia Beach, VA
On August 25, 2021 around 10:06 pm, I was walking my dog on Sandpiper Road in Sandbridge/Virginia Beach. I looked up I the sky and saw a big, round orange/red circular object that was moving around the sky. It was above the back bay of water that’s behind the island of Sandbridge. I had never seen anything like that before, so I took out my cell phone and took a video. I’ll try and attach the video (one in mov file format and one in mp3 format) and still photo, but when I’ve tried to send it as a text, it gives me a message that the file is too big. It’s only 27 seconds long. I’m a retired teacher.

Tigard, OR
Background of ((name deleted)): Over 5000 flight hours. Currently a captain with ((company name deleted)). Bachelor’s Degree in Aeronautical Science from Embry Riddle. Narrative from ((witness name deleted)): Sitting in my hot tub and observed a bright white object go from southwest to northeast. It was traveling at a high speed estimated to be about 5 times faster than a normal jet at cruise and/or 6 times faster than the international space station seen from Earth. The object was at about 10,000 feet and there was cloud coverage with a thin broken ceiling in the background. The object did not appear to show any navigational lights or strobes, apparent on most aircraft. It was also a bright white steady light compared to the more yellowish tint of aircraft. My fiancée also saw the object and noticed it a few seconds before me. She said it was traveling due east and then changed directions to go northeast. She is a flight attendant and originally thought it was a commercial aircraft. About 5 minutes after the object disappeared a commercial aircraft flew overhead and my fiancee was able to notice the difference between what we saw and the commercial aircraft.

At 8:48 PM PST, I was sitting on my balcony like I do every night. I am clearly able to see the flight paths of airplanes and helicopters in my vicinity. Also, I occasionally see satellites at much higher altitude with a much higher rate of speed. The object that I witnessed may have only been up to 5000 feet off the ground, traveling at a very low rate a speed. This ball of white light was fairly large and I would assume an object that big would’ve fallen out of the sky at such a slow rate of speed. This object did not blink whatsoever and traveled from the west to the north east. The wind was moving to the south at 2 MPH. Clearly, this ball of solid white light did not correlate to any of the conventional aircraft I have seen in the area. Also, to make sure it wasn’t a satellite, I cross referenced when I saw this object to any satellites on a live map and nothing appeared. According to Brown University, a satellite needs to maintain 22,000 miles ! in altitude traveling at about 7,000 mph. This object was like seeing a car drive in a school zone it was that slow…

I was sitting in my back yard when I saw this strange star that seemed to be moving in the sky. I got my phone and videotaped in a southern direction. The spherical object was a changing multicolored orb that seemed to spin, change direction and color, sometimes the lights seemed to disconnect from the orb.
