On the evening of Wednesday, July 14, 2021 I have been driving for approximately four hours on the interstate with intermittent stops, for travel related to family matters. When I arrived at my uncles house at 11:00 PM I paused to look up at the night sky, as I always do because I am an amateur astronomer, and I saw a light at least as bright as Jupiter and probably a little bit brighter in the North, moving from left to right on a flat trajectory to the northeast. It looked very close, but it vanished after about 3 seconds of flight, during which it covered about 20 degrees of arc in the sky. I then went in and visited my uncle for 4 hours. It just so happens that my house is also to the north, so after visiting my uncle I drove to my house in the country about a half-mile away. When I arrived at my house, the sky was fully dark, completely clear, and there was no moon that I could see from my vantage point but there are some trees that may have been blocking it. Upon getting out of the car I looked up to the north and immediately saw the same object at 3:00 AM that I had seen some four hours earlier. Again this object was a single bright point of orange light, about as bright as Jupiter or perhaps a little bit brighter, but not as bright as Venus on an early morning. This object was in the northern sky making what appeared to be huge curves or circles, slowly loitering above our rural town. I attempted to film it with my iPhone but it was impossible because the quality was too bad. I saw the object move from approximately northwest to approximately north east in a soft curve trajectory that was definitely pronounced enough to be a curve, but there were no sudden movements. Judging from my days of model rocketry, I would estimate the altitude to have been approximately 1500 feet to 2500 feet, and the object appeared to cover approximately 1/4 the sky in the space in a time of maybe six or seven seconds. At no time was there a contrail or a sound of any kind. It just looked like an extremely large, bright orange fireball that was very orange in color and resembled the planet Jupiter burning clearly on a dark night, only it was moving in a curved path. After curving from approximately Northwest to Northeast, left to right, over six seconds, it doubled back to come in my direction and rapidly grew dim at the same time, then vanished without a trace. I stayed outside for about an hour looking for this object to return since it had loitered in the area for approximately four hours, but it never came back. This was a rural town that is quite small and there are no airports or drone activity anywhere around here. The only air traffic we get is passenger jets at a very high altitude, and occasionally we get an Osprey Naval aircraft flying through to get to Norfolk Naval base, but they make so much noise you can hear them for nearly a full minute before you ever see them, even in broad daylight. The object I saw on July 14 at 11:00 PM was unmistakably 100% the same object I saw in the same area of sky on July 15 at 3:00 AM. I have no idea what this was, it remains an extremely intriguing and unexplained sighting for me. I tried to take a video both times, but I was too late the first time, and the second time it was there but I set the camera at max zoom hoping to get a closeup, and I could not aim the camera to get the object in frame the way it was moving, at that zoom level. I’ll be glad to send NUFORC the videos.

Wiley, CO

I saw a grey alien walking from behind the chicken coop, which was located behind the storage container. We made eye contact for about six seconds as it walked by. I then ran up to the horses that it had approached behind the storage container, and the horses seemed to stare into my soul, frozen. I tried to confront the grey alien, but it did not respond. I didn't want to do any harm; I just wanted to know the truth. When I was about 5 or 6 years old, I saw a glowing green alien in the basement window of my childhood home during a tornado in Lamar, Colorado. No one believed me either time.

Fort wayne, IN

Last night me and my cousin was leaving to walk around and talk, as usual then the First encounter. The ufo was unable to be seen but a blinking blue then white sliver of light was zipping around in the sky it looked like it would go abnormally fast and the light got longer and it looked like it would go long ways the sideways. The Ufo disappeared behind a treeline that boarders our Neighborhood. We kept walking to the gas station where we sit to talk, We then see over by the treeline across the street, from the entrance of my neighborhood white and red lights, Specifically White lights flashing around a generally small area. I pointed it out saying its the Military, They've circled my area more since the pandemic. Second encounter, The lights we thought was the military plane was a UFO. It got closer and stayed stationary in the sky with flashing red and white lights then disappeared fully with no sign of it anywhere. (I tried to take pictures of ! 2 of the 3 times including this, this one being the one I couldn't capture.) When we got stuff from the gas station, we returned to her house to bring a drink to our grandma and we saw another ufo. Our third encounter and last in the night, around the same exact area we first saw the first ufo in the sky. We saw just a light and it got brighter and I tried to take a picture. Youre able to see the marking in the sky with adjusting light exposures, but with doing that with a picture last night shows a almost inhuman face, even I do not believe it but i see it in the picture but I have no clue what would have happened to make that on the photo. -I need to express im very worried! Ive never reported anything but Ive experienced multiple Ufos on multiple occasions, with Different people who've all seen it with me. I have pictures of a bruise i woke up with with dots lined down it in a grid pattern. I also have a picture of my Fiance with gridded dots down his back with no explanation or Possible way to get them in his sleep. - 2 weeks ago me and my Fiance were driving on Tonkel rd. To see a white dot get bigger towards us it turned red then disappeared.Later about 10 minutes later, I felt the whole car vibrate and the glass, i thought it was loose it got loud with the vibrating, I touched vibrating Glass and my whole chest felt heavy and hard to breathe i started crying and freaking out saying i wanted to go home after and my Fiance saw it all and has never seen me freak out wanting to go home and honestly in that moment i dont remember much but freaking out and the glass vibrating. - March, 2020 last year Me and another friend was sitting in an Old trailer park in a field, ALSO in the same area (mile up the road) A massive ufo with almost a metallic black ice look it was dark and almost unreal with still light reflecting off the bottom. It was over head and over a near in construction hotel but VERY close to the ground. It zipped forward in an unreal Way. It looked like a big oval/rectangular from bottom view. -also some time in 2020, with a video, me and my fiance were sitting in the car singing after a wedding in his car, i sat my phone down and left it record, you can see Multiple lights that are bright white turn on above our heads and zip off. Again im very concerned,theres been more occurrences, a couple pictures and a video that shows what ive been talking about and its provoked me to reach out

The craft was hovering above the house down the street from mine. It was pulsing Green lights that were flashing. It was hovering for a few solid minutes when all of the sudden it took off at extreme speed. I am an aircraft enthusiast and this is nothing live I have every seen before. The speed was incredible and how the craft was able to shoot straight up still amazes me. I have photos and a short video. It is not super clear but was the best I could do before the craft took off.

Tonopah, AZ

I walked out my house at around 3:30AM on august 13 2021 and saw what looked like a star move in jolts I then knew it was a ufo because of the movements, I called my boyfriend outside and we saw about 9+ together within the range of 3 hours, two stayed in the same section hovering around so as we watched those and saw the others in passing, most were headed south. One was headed north, this specific one flew the fastest leaving no trail just a fast dot moving , I chased after it and it stopped and seemed as if it came closer, I called my mom and we all saw as the ufo moved into the clouds, I was the only one to see the ufo close the cloud to cover itself. We watched this ufo till the sun came up to see if it would leave but no, as the stars started to fade into the bright sky the ufo was the only bright dot left in the sky within the cloud. It wasn’t until the sun fully came up until we couldn’t see anymore. Two ufos had what looked like headlights as well.! Others also looked as if they flew inside the clouds intentionally too. On August 19 me and my boyfriend saw another ufo in front of the house, this ufo stopped moving when we recorded and moved as soon as the phone was out away. Every single one looked like a bright white dot.

Reno, NV

It was another night that I could not sleep so I came out to the kitchen to get a drink of water sometime between 1:00-1:30 in the morning. I looked out the kitchen window and there were 3 bright lights all in a row, not connected that I could tell. It couldn’t have been a helicopter with those kind of lights or an airplane because it never moved. It didn’t go up, down, or sideways. It just stayed in one place. I watched for about 10 minutes and it sort of became eerie. Like they were watching me as I was watching them. Finally I sat down on the couch and watched for about 20 minutes. I went back to the kitchen window to see if it was still there. It was gone, just like that. Your picture in the national enquirer showing 3 bright lights in the 4/22/22 paper looked similar to what I saw from Tucson Arizona on 2/22/22

Snohomish, WA

The video is unedited. I don't monetize, but post for friends. It was silent, except for a quiet higher-pitched warble-whir, you can hear it, but it's not a rotor whir. It was much larger than the video shows, and close; less than 500 feet. It made the hair stand up on my arms. I was looking North and it was traveling W to E, at approximately 60 degrees, behind the trees, and moving slowly. It was a bright golden-colored diamond shape at first, but it changed, got rounder and changed colors as it moved away. I apologize for the shakiness as I'm not used to filming these things. I use an ISS tracker, a sat tracker and a plane tracker. It was none of these and WAY too close to be a sat anyway, too silent for a plane, drone or helicopter, no flashing lights. It was the third fly-by that night as I took my pooch out to go potty, and I caught it as it moved away. I have a star and planet tracker that I use and it un-calibrated the compass on my phone as I tried to use the a! pp. It was quite beautiful and much closer than the other two that came by first (from completely different directions).

While heading West on I-84 Hwy taking picture of sensory with I Phone as passenger. At the time never noticed anything in the sky till we looked at it when we got home and saw all these white lights above Crown Point. Had many other picture of sky with nothing in them to compare. Saw TV show 5/10/22 about a team UPAX that talked about what they called Tic Tac’s and remembered we had something just like that. Picture can be attached for your reference.

Whitehall, PA

On Sat July 10th 2021 I was sitting on the steps in front of my apartment building talking to my friend on the phone. I happened to look up & that's when I noticed the object. I told my friend I'd call her back & I hung up and got my camera on my phone started. I was facing south towards the city of Allentown Pa and saw what I thought was 1 large circle shape with 6 to 8 white lights that seemed to outline the object. The distance between the lights never changed and were perfectly spaced apart at all times. What I saw did not make any noise at all. Then on the second video I took I started hearing a helicopter coming from off in the distance. It came from my left and continued past the object I was originally videoing. I could hear the helicopter coming from way off in the distance yet this object that was directly in front of me never made a sound. I continued videoing until the light on the end of the building next made a reflection in my videos so that's when I stopped videoing. At the start of video 2 you can hear my voice crack when I speak because I had no idea what I was seeing. Also the local airport is closely. When they depart or arrive they fly directly over my apartment building in a northeast to southwest direction. There is also a hospital south of me where there are medical helicopters taking patients to the trauma center. But this object was going southeast to northwest in direction. There is no need for an aircraft to go in this direction nor do I remember ever seeing anything flying in the direction because there just really isn't any reason to. I am a Navy veteran which doesn't mean I know everything about anything. But I know what I saw that night I have no explanation for. Also in the video you can clearly see the helicopter shining its spotlights over towards the object.

Pawtucket, RI

Saw in the night sky seven glowing orbs which passed overhead from north to south without making any sound at all. The first three shapes passed over in a straight line; the next four passed shortly after the first in pairs of two. They kept changing color from red, to orange, to yellow, to white, and back again. Finally lost sight of them (after taking pics & video) as they crested the southern horizon line.

Mustang Island, TX

On the evening of Saturday, 7/10/21, I was on the 2nd-story balcony of our vacation beach condo. At around 9:30pm, looking NE, three lights caught my eye. It was their trajectory, silence, and lack of navigation lights that drew my immediate attention. They were moving west with the wind from the direction of the beach at a fair clip at about 100ft in altitude. Slightly faster than the wind speed (around 10- to 12-knots). They looked to be about 1/8- to 1/4-mile away, but it's hard to say considering I have no scale to attribute them to. The lights were mottled white and LED-ish with multiple sources each in the general shape of an orb. The three formed an equilateral triangle shape from my perspective and dead silent. I was in a quiet area of the island, and any small airplane traffic (it's pretty common) is easily heard from long distances, and even over the din of the surf. I heard absolutely nothing coming from these things. I chalked it up as a singular event and an unknown, but then another wave of similar objects appeared coming from the same direction. This grouping included approximately twelve objects much like, but not identical to, the first three. These were circular orb-like objects at various heights. One object was oblong and vertically oriented, and stood out as very different than the others, with the other objects of varying diameters. I fumbled for my phone to get a pic or a video, but decided otherwise (see below). As I put my phone down, another small orb at a lower altitude came hustling by from the same direction as the others. It quickly sped westward towards the other disappearing objects. Then - nothing. I went through a check list of what these things might be. First: birds. Where I was is a major bird flyway, and I've spent a large portion of my scholastic career studying birds: these were not birds. At least not any I've ever seen. Next: fixed wing aircraft or helicopter. With no sound or visible navigation lights, I ruled them out. Possibly: drones. That's a solid maybe. Though I've never seen drones move this fast for what looked like miles, I'm not ruling them out. But again - silence. Not a peep, and the drones I've seen use multi colored LEDs. Also, there was a fishing tournament that weekend and drones are a VERY common component of these events. But this many? It's a hard sell. Military/FAA: there is a naval air station about 30-miles from my sighting location, along with a large military and coast guard presence. The idea that this many airborne objects on various vectors with zero navigation lights strikes me as huge red flag. I heard, nor saw, anything airborne after the objects moved miles west of me over the bay. Lastly: my phone. What's the point? Yet another digital record of white lights on a black back drop that could easily be CGI or some other manipulation. Bottom line is, I don't know what I saw.

Los Angeles, CA

I was driving to pick up pizza when I noticed about 6 lights in formation not moving but very bright. Called my bf to confirm he could see it too. Arrived home and still saw them in a triangle form still not moving. After about 5 mins they changed form, when into a straight line and 3 of them disappeared. They would disappear and reappear in triangle / line formations. I have a video of the incident. And one of my pictures I was able to catch a blurry what looks to me like a saucer.

I was driving over the the Belknap viaduct and looked off to the north towards Duluth and saw a bright light near what locals call the antenna farm and saw a bright light. As I continued over the bridge the light started heading east towards Lake Superior at a high rate of speed before it disappeared.

Rehoboth Beach, DE

While driving home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware myself and my partner saw 5 orange lights floating in the sky forming a U shape. We pulled over and took pictures and video. All 5 aircraft were slowly moving in unison from East to West. They made no sounds and were completely silent. They looked like globes with orange lights that were slowly flickering, kind of like electric lanterns or candles with flicker bulbs. After a couple of minutes a 6th identical aircraft came out of the East (moving West) quickly towards the others. As it approached 3 of the aircraft forming the West side of the U went dark or disappeared. The 6th aircraft approached the remaining 2 and they formed a triangle. We continued to drive home but kept watching the lights in the sky. The remaining 2 aircraft disappeared and the 6th aircraft changed course and started moving East, flying quickly. When we got home a few minutes later I took another video of the 6th aircraft flying in a straight line East in the direction of the ocean which is 1 mile from where we live. The aircraft drifted up into the clouds and disappeared. Afterwards we heard a lot of helicopters flying around our house and area for approximately 2 hours.
