West Jordan, UT
At approximately 21:50 on 07/04/2021 I noticed some clouds glowing, so I asked a friend of mine if she noticed it. Soon after bringing it to her attention a glowing object appeared. It was moving in different directions, at first it looked like a small glowing ball then grew in size. I then yell for my mother to look to make sure I wasn’t just seeing things. All three of us could see it. At first my mom made a joke about it being aliens, then it started flashing bright white then red. First I thought it could be a drone but then it changed shapes. My friend made a comment that it reminded her of a jellyfish. A plane flew right under it and the object was much bigger than the plane. It would go up then straight down and back up while changing colors and shape. This lasted approximately 5 1/2 minutes until it flew down and we could no longer see it passed my neighbors home.

Crystal Lake, IL
I witnessed a bright light zoom quickly from the west that stopped perfectly stationary over Crystal Lake IL during the fireworks show on July 4th 2021. It moved away quickly when the airforce jets came near it and then it moved quickly away super fast to the west and was out of sight then.at first I thought it was a helicopter. it disappeared superfast and I saw this. I have a phone video. Then a double red-light UFO was overhead to my right above the trees that moved rapidly and then zoomed quickly away within the next 5 minutes as I recorded this sighting too.2

San Juan Capistrano, CA
We were in our driveway watching a firework display from several blocks away. We saw this white object sitting still very high in the sky to the East. It would slowly move different directions sometimes turning into a larger fuzzy ball then back to its original shape. It didn’t have colors while moving but in the still photos you can see green on one side. In one photo I zoomed my phone for a still photo and there we’re 3 objects. Each one had the green although only one was visible to us while just watching. We watched this for an hour and went inside. We are near a military base. I am emailing videos. I would like to know if anyone else reported seeing this. Please contact me to let me know. Thank you.

South Mills, NC
On July 4th, 2021 at 2033 I used my Samsung Galaxy Note 9 to record a person light and fire a roman candle fire cracker in slow motion. I thought nothing of it and continued my day. I had no alcohol and saw/heard nothing unusual in the sky. I was facing south south east. When I returned home, I played the video back on my phone and zoomed into the person firing the roman candle to see how the slow motion looked. I noticed a small dark object above the people moving left to right. I zoomed in with my fingers by pinching the screen, and watched the dark object go from left to right across the entire screen within one second of real time. I watched it several times. I do not know how far away it was but it appeared to be further than some trees in the background. It was moving very fast and it (appeared) was very small. I thought it could have been an insect but the flight path was very controlled with no zig zagging. I thought it may have been a bird but it was not possible for a bird to fly that fast. I enhanced the video and made it easier to see but I still could not make it out. The moving image is very blurry and has some light around it but that could be pixelation.

Phoenix, AZ
On Sunday, July 4, 2021 at approximately 8 PM I was driving my vehicle in Scottsdale, a suburb of Phoenix traveling northbound on a very populated though fare. N. Hidden Rd. I turned left onto E. Indian School Rd. in Scottsdale. As I made my turn and look to head up to my left I noticed three spherical objects that were very bright in the early sunset. All three seem to have her momentarily and then move in unison. Within a few moments one of the spheres would loop out information and disappear, and then within seconds reappear at a different position within the formation. This happened approximately three or four times within the span of 2 to 3 minutes. Then, one by one each individual sphere just vanished. All three spears were the same color and did not change color. They were very bright yellow slight amber color. They made no sound as they moved there was no cloud displacement. It was as if they were doing a bit of a dance or a routine. They appeared to be in the area west of my location which would put them approximately over the eastern portion of Phoenix potentially close to Phoenix sky Harbor Airport. My location at the time and I witnessed the event was approximately 5 miles south east of the Phoenix sky Harbor Airport.

Duxbury, MA
We had been on the beach for the 4th, no fireworks. A bright light appeared and I knew it wasn’t an aircraft because it was huge, like a football field, it was quite far away but it was so bright that the clouds were lit up and you could see through the clouds. It was moving way slower than an airplane but then suddenly disappeared.

Ocean city, NJ
Watching fireworks on the Ocean City, NJ beach around 9pm. As fireworks started there was a small bright light traveling south. I thought was a shooting star. Then a minute later another one. Then another, and another. All traveling south. The same distance between each one. Perfectly in the same line of travel. I pointed it out to my family, which they saw as well. Including my 12 & 10 year olds saw them. My husband said they could be satellites? Was fascinating to watch. No blinking to be an airplane, and traveling fast.

Independence, OR
I was driving, it was daylight and the sky was blue and clear, my passenger and I were discussing time as we were late for our event, I looked at the car clock and said we were 23 minutes late (meant to be there at 4:00, hence 4:23 pm) as we were driving, there is a straight stretch of road where 2 fruit fields are, immediately before driving up onto bridge going into Independence. I looked up and saw on small cloud that seemed very odd shaped, domed top, slighted lesser domed bottom and the sides sloped down/up into 'points' - very "classic" flying saucer shaped, only it was white and looked slightly "cloud-like". I jokingly said to my passenger "um - is that a cloaked ufo cloud?" and looked their way, noticing my passenger was leaning forward in their seat, looking up to the left of the "cloud and remarked overlapping me "hey there's something like glinting up there, but nothing's THERE..." and then we looked a! t the cloud again and it was gone, nothing but blue sky, we looked for the shiny glinting spot and it too had disappeared - both in a matter of under about 3-5 seconds. I didn't even have time to ask if they would take a picture with my phone - it was EXTEMELY fast. The cloud shape was directly over south Independence looked to be around the areas of Talmadge Road, Stapleton Road vicinity of south Independence in farm/country, but could be clearly seen as we approached the bridge.

South Manitou Island, MI
Me and a few friends were camping on South Manitou Island in the Sleeping Bear Dune wilderness. I did not notice the strange phenomenon until I recently reviewed some old photographs. You’ll see in the video the UFO, at lightning speed ascends and levels out across the frame. View the video in slow motion as the object moves real quick.

Salem, OR
Daughter was laying on floor by sliding glass door and started exclaiming about shiny birds. I ran over to see what she was talking about and there was a large group of floating/shifting shiny objects not far from above our home. At first I thought they were birds; they looked like they had wings at first but the way they were shining and moving seemed wrong. Perhaps, a large group of foil balloons tied together or drones? They kept getting further away and they would shift around together quickly, change formation shape and become invisible at times. My husband and 3 year old were also watching. Barely captured part of it on video.

Brighton, TN
The bright orange /yellow lights smoothly and slowly glided across the sky, maintaining a triangular formation. The point of the triangle was in the back. It seemed to lose position, and rapidly moved forward to regain its original position within the triangle. Then they disappeared.

Burbank, CA
At approximately 4:30 in the morning on July 4 and I walked out onto my second-story balcony that faces east to smoke a cigarette. I heard a humming noise coming from above so I looked up into the sky and saw an extremely large white craft flying west directly over my building. It had a flat bottom, slightly rounded sides, and white/blue/red lights on the craft. I immediately thought UFO mothership. I’ve never seen anything this large flying this low, and ran back inside to grab my phone. I was able to snap two photos and wanted to grab a video, but the craft flew over my building and out of sight before obtaining. It has bothered me ever since, not knowing whether there was some type of blimp (closest object I can relate the craft to) or truly some type of unknown aircraft flying over the city during those hours. I just can’t shake the image of this craft out of my mind since July 4. Even though it has been some time since my sighting I felt it was applica! ble to report.

Peoria, AZ
Standing outside on my patio at approx 3:45-3:50am I looked up to the south and saw 4 dim lights. 3 in the shape of a triangle and an extra off to the side tagging along. The tag along glided back and forth, east to west a couple times. The entire thing was traveling south to north. All lights were dim, no sound, traveling in a straight line, and very low in the sky.
July 4, 2021 · 2:30 AM · DIAMOND
Oil City, PA
I was returning from being in my backyard, when I looked straight ahead, I saw a black, diamond shaped craft hovering over the road. There was no sound. And I noticed that the birds that I fed stopped singing. They get very loud when I’m outside because I feed them, but it was quiet. I got scared and grabbed the door handle and went into my house. I looked out the front window, but it was gone.

Clearwater, FL
While landing a helicopter at the St. Pete Clearwater Airport (KPIE) a solid red light was observed west of the location. The light moved rapidly east at a steady speed, a short distance north of my position at the airport. A check of surrounding air traffic utilizing ADS-B in information showed no other traffic while observing the light. As the light passed overhead it did not change color, intensity, or speed. No sounds was observed due to the volume of the turbine helicopter, which was still running. The light continued traveling eastbound until it was out of sight due to cloud cover and buildings. A check of flights in the area after did not show any flights in the area. The light was red in color when views approaching, aside, and while traveling away. It did not blink of strobe and did not have any visible accompanying lights. It appeared brighter than aircraft navigation, taxi, landing, or anti-collision lights.

Richmond, VA
As we were sitting in my truck, me, my two kids, and my cousin witnessed 10 small yellow objects flying from the same direction as if they were in military form. As they went by, we could see a bright blue light flash with an object that appeared to be in the center. The object appeared to be changing form for 30 seconds and then it disappeared. While the object changed forms I could see on my recording once I zoomed in on it that there appeared to be light or sound waves coming from the object in the center of the bright light.

South Hill West of Orting, WA
Group of lights came from south valley moving around each other and changing directions like a drone swarm but too large and too fast. We watched them form triangle shapes and spread out again. Moving several miles across the night horizon. They elevated over the eastern ridge line towards Carbonado and Northern side of Mount Rainier, fading away. A few of us have phone video. Bright white lights. No sound.

McMinnville, OR
My son who is special needs and I went outside to look at the stars. It was almost 11pm. The skies were clear and there was zero traffic on our road, no planes or anything in the sky, no sound or anything. We live about 3 miles outside of McMinnville city limits and I have lived in this area majority of my life so I know when something is off. I was playing with the settings of the camera on my new phone and I spotted something down the road. There was at first only a green sphere and then there was a secondary reddish orange colored sphere. They didn't appear to be on the ground but close to it. The lights would fade in and out. There wasn't any fireworks or anything being set off, no sound, no traffic, nothing. I was able to get it on video for about a minute. There almost appeared to be a haze around them in the video and I did have to zoom it in to be able to see what was going on. I just felt kind of in awe of what I was seeing but sort of scared and nervous at the same time. My son is fearless and when I stopped filming he said "Mom.....we need to go in...NOW!!!" It was just odd. There wasn't any air traffic or planes going over or anything and other than the voices of myself and my son on the video and there is nothing but those 2 different lights that seem to hover and the light of them fades in and out. The area they were at down the road is nothing but open fields. It was just bizarre. I have had other experiences out here but this is the most recent one.

las vegas, NV
At one point I believe there were 6-7 total. They were extremely fast, almost going in circles, but not necessarily in order. I'm not a UFO person, so that's hard for me to explain. It started with one light that caught our attention, then about 3 became more constant. At some point there were about 6-7 surrounding the sky above us. We looked for anything that could explain it better than UFO's, but no indication of anything else. After a while most left. But 1 seemed very persistent.The one captured on video I believe. At some point, seemed liked 2 lights would come back and almost crash the persistent one, surround it, then would disappear, then only 2 lights kept going at it, until one left, and short after the other was also completely gone. I don't think I'm making much sense, By the time I grabbed my phone, and started recording it, that's all the footage I got, before my phone died.

Tamarack, ID
9:21pm, overlooking the Payette River Mountain range in Tamarack, Idaho- Saw a VERY bright light in the sky. So bright, it was almost like the sun was reflecting off of a mirror. It had two thin white tails trailing behind it (like asteroids do in photos from their dust trails). It was stationary. Did not move, so I knew it was not an asteroid. Or a plane. Pondered what it could be for a few seconds. Took my cell phone out and started filming. Once I did that, it started to slowly move behind a cloud. If you zoom in on the video you can see it kind of sit behind that cloud for a second. Also, if you zoom in on it (as I did and took some snap shots of the video) you can see that it’s a shiny oval object with no distinct lines. My sighting was captured one hour before a fireball lit up the entire sky, which was witness by many. Coincidence? ...Maybe?
