Hello UFO Center, I am very hesitant to report this because I know in our society Aliens are not taken seriously.. It was dark outside and suddenly we heard a noise coming from afar it sounded like a mix between an jet plane and a jet ski. It was really weird and then we saw it in the distance a light, it appeared convex kind of like an old TV. It's hard to explain it was like a convex square. My friend Joeseph agreed with me(he was there) that he saw it too. We felt energy and love come over us.. I am not religious but for a moment I thought it may have been jesus. My friend said Jesus was fake and that it was probably an alien. I thought aliens were hostile but idk I am open minded to the possibility of life outside of humans after this experience.

Philadelphia, PA
Looking south out of my bedroom window, I noticed an orange light in the sky, slowly moving west. It faded out. Soon after, I noticed another identical light at from the original spot and again moving west. It was as if the light moved, faded out, went back to it starting point, relit, and repeated. It happened a third time, as well. The object had one main light and two dimmer lights above and below, positioned at approximately 5 and 11 o'clock relative to the main light. The dimmer lights flashed slowly.

I was driving after dropping a friend off late at night and I saw what I thought was a star at first. But the. I realized it was much larger than a star and was about the size of the moon in the night sky. I was confused at first and thought it was a reflection of some sort or a light from someone’s house. But the road I was in is a quite backroad and there is no large lampposts and I was no where near the closest house on top of this it could not be the moon as i could clearly see the full moon to the far left of it. I saw it and instantly got a feeling of dread. I continued to see it until I passed under a few trees soon as I passed it was there for a second and then blinked away. I was not a strong believer until this night and nothing has happened to me since then.except when I got home I remember walking inside but nothing after that and woke up the next morning with just a faint remembrance of it. I’m submitting much later than the actual date it happened as I didn’t know this organization existed until now.

My son calls me outside around 9pm it tells coming outside and look at all these object circling in the sky. The sky was partly cloudy. so was thinking maybe there were airplanes waiting to land maybe they were backed up because the storm we were suppose to get this weekend. I counted maybe like 12 ,So I started watching and then i started to video . I herd this loud noise almost like a jet or a large plane , but we don't have any airport that close to our house so i started to video this large object started and flying low down in area beside my house . So kept videoing it was loud and big, but right behind it i saw another object come down it didn't have a sound , but when came down all can see was bright object and then in a flash it disappeared. My son who was walking a few houses down call me freaking out that he saw something in the sky in front of him just hover in the sky and it disappeared. This is like the 3 time stuff like this has happen to hi! m. It was freaking amazing.

Plattsburgh, NY
We were on vacation and crossing the ferry from Vermont to Plattsburgh. Saw the light on the ferry while looking at the stars. We could still see it when we got to our hotel. The light mostly was going in one direction, about the same direction the ferry was going in (from Grand Isle VT to Plattsburgh, NY). The light was bright enough to stand out from most stars. What made it strange was it’s erratic behavior. It was stopping and starting, sometimes it would reverse in the opposite direction, but rarely. It would zig zag and change speeds. It reminded me of how electricity / water follows the path of least resistance, or how a drop of water falls down a wall in a shower, sometimes it would slow down and then speed up, etc. The phone camera couldn’t capture it as the object was too far away. I would just like to know if anyone else saw it, because it should be obvious to anyone looking up at the stars that night in the area.

Weymouth, MA
I was sitting outside, in the parking lot of an ice cream shop in Weymouth. It was dark outside, but clouds were still lightly visible in the sky. I happened to suddenly glance up and see a bright light fly across the sky to very quickly vanish into nothing. I would compare it to watching a firework shoot up into the sky, only this was much brighter and faster. And instead of pretty colors exploding, a quick flash of light went to nothing.

Davis, CA
My racing pigeons were flying around the property and while watching them I noticed a bright object in the sky coming from the south. I assumed that when it got closer it would turn out to be an areophane, but something compelled me to keep watching it. When it did get closer I saw that it did not have wings and was somewhere between oval and Tic Tac in shape. It had a metallic appearance and had bright lights at either end (this could have alternatively been reflection from the sun to the west). As it got closer it gradually changed directions and began heading east. It did not change orientation as it changed its direction of travel by 90 degrees. As it moved away the lights appeared to switch back and forth between the two ends. I continued watching it as it got further away, but I looked away briefly as the property owner’s dog had seen me and began barking. When I looked back to the object it was then dark with no bright areas and after looking away bri! efly again I could no longer find it. I estimate the time of day to have been between 18:00-19:30 and the duration of the sighting to be approximately 5 minutes.

I was outside shooting hoops, when 3 huge circular ufo's flew overhead, scareing both me and my friend. They dissapeared quickly, then came back as quickly as they left and hovered there for a few minutes before rocketing directly out of earths atmosphere. Later, I found huge scratches on my back and thighs.

I was walking to the car with a friend and I looked up for a second and I said look that's a weird airplane bro. I then took out my iPhone and started to recorded what we where looking at in the night sky. I was following it on camera for about 60 second or minute and half then all of a sudden the ufo changed colors four or five times then moved behind us when I try to follow it with my camera again my iPhone just turned off and I hard a error message from apple i went back inside right away and plugged my phone it took 30 minutes to turn on I did hard reset then it finally turned on and i went to my pictures to find the videos and the 60 second video was only 29 seconds the rest of the videos the first 45 seconds or so was gone only end video was left but the 29 seconds show the ufo and it changing color and form i still have the video on my iphone

Bristol, TN
In 2021 Late July or early August approx 10pm I witnessed a glowing Orange-ish Disc hovering silently over our apt complex. It suddenly began to glow brighter, almost red. Something odd is that my video (phone) screen changed to a grey/tv snow- like color as it became brighter. All of a sudden the object flies off over a mountain range at a very high speed. Definitely not a plane, no blinking lights (as well as hovering). It was out of my sight in about 1.5 secs once it took off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4u8li7PQNQo

Moapa valley, NV
My husband and I were setting off fireworks and filming for YouTube at the moapa fireworks launch site in Nevada. We noticed the other people around us looking up and getting excited...so we all look up. Over us is about 45 or more tiny "crafts" zig zapping and flying around and various speeds and doing weird maneuvers. They were much tinier lights than starlink...they looked like they were in space! Definitely not satellites or anything like that. Not drones...we've seen all these other things. These were 100 percent individually controlled objects. I didn't have time to film..they were probably too far to catch anyway...but it was amazing and scary at the same time. No idea what we saw..but now I wait and watch the sky, hoping to catch something just as awesome!

Myrtle Beach, SC
My family and I were walking along the beach with flashlights looking for shells and anything that washed up on the shore. We looked out into the ocean and we saw three orange lights that were lit for 3 to 5 seconds and then dimmed out. One second later, the three lights appeared further down the beach going south. The 3 orange lights appeared brightly again, dimmed out, then didn’t return.

A little after 8pm I was sitting out back smoking a cigarette when a bright light caught my eye. It was directly due south, just above the tree tops. Approximately 1/4 mile away with a great line of sight and perfect view. I could clearly see an incredibly bright white light cascading down into the tree line. It was shaped like a round ball. If I had to estimate it’s size I’d guess roughly 2+ft in diameter judging by the birds that flew in the same spot directly after the incident. It was moving relatively slowly and when it hit the tree line I could no longer see the light. It seemed like the light simply went out. I would say it traveled at roughly a 45 degree angle. It’s hard for me to estimate how high it first started above the trees. Maybe 100 feet? My first thought was meteor due to its brightness. But because of the proximity I knew that didn’t make any sense. I would akin the brightness to a professionally lit baseball stadium light. I don’t even really know how to describe it. I was dumbfounded. But I was even more shocked when maybe a minute or so later the light came back. It was back at the general area where I had first seen it (unless this was a second separate light?). Roughly 100-150ft above the trees (?) But this time as it descended it suddenly moved up in the air. It sort of puffed/floated up maybe 50-75+ feet then descending down into the tree line where it was no longer visible again. I can’t for the life of me think what could emit such a bright light. I hope someone can give me feedback because that will drive me crazy for a while. There was little to no wind. Extremely hot and humid day.

Santa Fe, NM
I am 51 years old and consider myself an amateur astronomer. I was observing the Perseids meteor shower with my mother and father in the front yard facing a north to north east direction. Most of the time when I am observing meteor showers, I use a 1x third generation night vision scope as I have found I can usually see triple the number of meteors compared to when I am observing naked eye. I had seen a fairly bright meteor about a minute before my sighting. Many times, meteors come in pairs, so I was observing a specific area of the sky waiting for a second meteor. The star Capella was observable in the upper right corner of my night scope. From the right upper corner of field of view, I thought I sensed movement near Capella. When I focused on the spot, I could clearly see a dark object moving very fast. As I started to track the object, I realized I was looking at a triangle. Besides being a triangular shape, there are several things which I found unusual. 1. There were no lights on the craft. Even the dimmest light would have shown in the night vision. 2. There was no sound. 3. It must have been flying fairly low because it looked to be about the size of my thumbnail held at arm’s length or was very large flying at a high elevation. I sensed it was flying at a lower elevation since it appeared there was a slight glow or haze to the object, maybe from light reflecting from the city lights on it. 4. It was not an equilateral triangle. The 2 sides were narrower than the back end. All the sides were flat. 5. It was a dark aircraft. I could not sense any details other than the general shape of the craft. Generally, if I see an aircraft through the night vision, it is light in color and much smaller compared to this object. The object was moving from north to a generally south direction. I tracked it for about 10-15 seconds until it disappeared behind our house. I estimate I tracked it for about 85 degrees of sky. My first thought was that maybe I was looking at a B2 Bomber. I could see the object good enough that I could tell the back end was perfectly straight, unlike the B2. Perhaps it was another military craft that I am not familiar with. I don’t know if the military is allowed to fly without any running lights. I have observed many planes through the night vision. It is very unusual to see a plane flying low enough at night that I can see its silhouette. Usually, I just see the lights with a slight hint of an aircraft between the lights and I always hear the aircraft, especially if it is flying as low as this one appeared to be flying. This is only the second time I have seen a plane flying without running lights. The only other time I have seen a plane flying at night without lights was immediately after the 9-11 attacks. While observing the object, I immediately started telling my folks what I was observing. Neither one of them were able to see the object. I know this was a short duration sighting and maybe it was just an unknown military craft, but I thought I would throw it out there.

Cumberlandd Foreside, ME
While waiting to watch meteors from last night's meteor shower I noticed an object flying southbound exhibiting a triangular shape display of six blinking red then white lights. Each color remained for a second before changing. the white looked like the color of a white LED the red was similar to a red LED. The object moved at a constant speed and direction. the speed appeared to be similar to that of a high-flying jet. the Object disappeared behind a cloud over Portland before I could get my camera. Being a former air traffic controller and pilot for 50 years, I feel this was not a typical aircraft. a check of PWM tower and Boston ARTCC have no aircraft being tracked at that time in the area.

From the north east to south west I spotted a faint dot of white, very small, shoot in a straight line across the sky the object left no tail. The tiny pin pointed object was in comprehensible in its speed. There was no point in standing up to follow its trajectory. I have viewed UFO’s in my life, but never have seen such speed. There was nothing about the observation that remotely resembled a meteor. This object traveled like a laser line. It was not a laser.

Seaside, OR
While standing outside trying to see some meteors, I saw what looked like a row of white lights coming up the coast, south of Seaside Oregon. I assumed it was an aircraft. It was quite high in the sky. I looked away for maybe 5 5 seconds and when I looked back it was gone. I don't know where it could have gone so quickly. It was a clear night.

Heat lightning in sky made my husband and I look out window. Seen one single bright light in sky hovering for approximately a minute to minute and a half. Then started flying at a quick rate of speed. Faster than a normal plane. Which the local airport is in our vicinity. No flashing lights like a normal plane. Not a star or moon.

New Caney, TX
While walking out of Wal-Mart tonight I looked up and saw 6-8 orange lights all in a perfect row evenly spaced out kind of fading in and out, hard to explain exactly but it was like I was looking at something that I wasn't supposed to see, like it was glitch in the system and I got a glimpse of it. Almost looked like an electrical current of some sort but as soon as I saw it, it faded away. I don't think it had aliens in it or anything like that because it was too small, it wasn't like a spaceship. Kind of reminded me of the flashing lights in a school zone at least that was the shade and light consistency. Best example I can try to explain the shape of it is this. Imagine a hockey puck, now stack about 8 hockey pucks on top of each other, (the same way you would stack cans of tuna) except make them significantly larger like 8" in diameter and 8" thick stack them on top of each other, then lay the stack down horizontally and space all the pucks out! evenly about 6" apart and instead of them being pucks they were orange lights. Not the best visual description but that's how it looked and then it was gone into nowhere. It was almost like the lights were passing through an invisible conduit from one side of the sky to the other.

Metairie, LA
Today, while taking a walk near my apartment near the canal on West Napoleon Street in Metairie, LA, I was looking to the west towards New Orleans International Airport expecting to see some airplanes in the distance. After about a second of looking in that direction, I saw something flying much lower and closer than I was expecting to see. The object I saw seemed to be about only a couple hundred yards away, about 100 feet in altitude, 5-10 feet in diameter sphere of white light, and was going extremely fast (at such a low altitude: appx. 100 mph by my estimation) and making drastic turning maneuvers without making any noise. After watching the object turn abruptly to start going over a residential area, the sphere of light “turned off” in the matter of a few tenths of a second. The object seemed to “be” light as I was not able to see any physical trace of the object after it disappeared. That was the last I saw of it.

I have 3 dogs and I walk them 1 at a time.At 10:00p.m. in the eastern sky I saw a bright light like a planet was closer to earth. I paid no attention to it when I walked my second dog. When I walked my third dog, that is when it started pulsating, and moved very quickly in a diagonal way, above me. Than it started to change shape, color, and size. It went from this bright white light, to aan orange smaller light, it was moving too slowly to be an airplane and it didn't have the red and green blinking lights. As it was moving north above me, it got as small as a star, and just kept moving slowly. Than it pulsated to red, orange, blue, and within a flash it shot out of the sky like a shooting star.
