New York City (Brooklyn), NY
Brilliant thin line shaped light in the distance, seen clearly on sunny day traversing slowly south to north in the vicinity of Brooklyn/Queens - size not determinable. Plenty of commercial air traffic in normal patterns operating throughout the area. Recorded short video of sighting on Android phone. After visual contact was lost behind building regained visual later and saw craft blink in and out of existence several times before contact was lost.

This morning I got dressed and went out back of my house to cut the grass. I was looking around at the mess of my back yard and something caught my eye. There was a rectangle shaped box flying over my neighborhood above the treeline. The box was shiny and reflecting the sun. I saw now blades or propulsion of any kind. The whole time looking at it my eyes were watering from the sunlight so it was hard to really make out any other details. It was traveling west to east fairly slowly but high enought that it was hard to determine size and speed. It traveled out of sight within 45 seconds.

Dark early morning skies along College Road at 17th street intersection. I was returning to beach after taking a friend to the airport. Several cars were stopped on the road. I thought it was a traffic accident. I stopped behind another car and the driver got out of his car. As soon as he did, 3 orange lights zoomed by us overhead right above the tree line at a very fast rate of speed and continued down college road. I watched for a few minutes and then they were gone.

I was up with my dog at 4:00a.m. and saw a small (pea-sized) blinking, white light outside my window. I was outside when I first saw it, and it was about 12 inches from my head. It was a very bright, white, blinking light. I went inside and watched it for several minutes. There was no beam and it was not a laser. It was stationary for several minutes, and then it slowly moved across the window. I ran and got a flashlight, and when I came back, it was gone. It did not make any sound. It was not an insect, and it was not a drone. It wasn’t a sold object. It was just a bright, white light. I am a 72 year old woman with all of my faculties. I rarely drink, and had not been drinking the night before this happened. I’ve never taken any illegal drugs and am not on any narcotics of any kind. I am a former school teacher. I’m a wife, mother, and grandmother. I’ve never witnessed anything like this before, but I am positive this is what I saw.

none-Frenchman Coulee Gorge, WA
Sightseeing in gorge on roadside observing waterfall close to noon (approx. 11:47 am) on cloudless sunny day, with airline contrail visible in sky to our center-right position. Person in our party, with 40+ year career in military/corporate aviation, spotted 3 glowing lights in upper sky (below contrail height, but well over 2000 ft. height) coming from horizon line approaching us from the north with southward path in a horizontal formation. When the lights were closer to us, yet still north of edge of gorge and waterfalll, we saw the three glowing objects form a vertical line, then a horizontal line, then a triangular formation; objects were spaced out in position, not immediately (such as 5 object spaces) next to each other and seemed to be holding/stationary in the sky. Object on the right hand side of triangular formation shot out to the east/right, than snapped back into its position on the right of the triangle. At this point, all we saw were brilliant! ly glowing spots in sky until all 3 objects rotated in same positions in sky from left to right (west to east). At this point, only one side of the craft was revealed to be triangular, silver, and multi-dimensional shape (not a flat side) with the brilliant glowing orb/light still to the left side of the craft. The silver-colored side reflected in the sun brilliantly and clearly showing its dimensionality and seemed to hold that position for a few seconds, It rotated back, so that we could only see it as a glowing light again, which disguised its shape. After this aerial display, the craft resumed their journey to the south, flying directly over us in a triangular formation; directly overhead, looking up, they appeared to be triangular shapes. Another car with 2 passengers stopped next to us to watch the first part of the display, then left the scene. As the objects were flying overhead, another set of 3 glowing lights/orbs was spotted on the horizon, again, headed southward toward us. At this point, we decided to leave the area. We discussed attempting to take photos of the objects, but decided our phone cameras could not capture the objects very well, and we were riveted by the aerial display. There was no sound in the gorge area at the time, and no sound emitted at any time by the objects in the sky. I live approx 6.6 miles directly south of runways of one of the largest commercial airports in the country. In my opinion, from observing commercial jet airplanes constantly departing/taking off, the craft observed turning in the sun was the size of a commercial plane on its sides. I am also very familiar with the sounds of large commercial aircraft as they land or take off or cross over my residence, and these objects did not emit a sound as they passed over us. As they passed over us, they were significantly higher in the sky than a commercial airliner flying over my residence on takeoff from my local airport, but lower than airplanes seen in our area only passing over VOR points.

Beckley, WV
On the night of 19 June 2021 around 23:30 local time, myself and my son were watching aircraft pass over the BKW airport navigational beacon and corresponding them with the ADS-B data from FlightAware. As we were observing United Airlines Flight 1520 pass Beckley from the SW to NE, a single white light with no other lights visible traversed on the inverse path of UAL1520 from the NE to SW headed directly towards UAL 1520. It appeared to be at a higher altitude than UAL1520. Upon reaching UAL1520 as we observed from directly underneath the two, the light made an immediate and abrupt turn NNW. It was so abrupt and perfectly sharp, a near 90-degree turn. Both my son and I decided that no craft short of a military flight could make this sort of maneuver. Confirming MLAT data with ADS-B exchange, we have confirmed that there are no known military flights in the region that would be apparent to us.

Myself and my neighbor both spotted a bright light (and a few at one point) over the course of 90 minutes. The lights were moving, dropping and raising and zooming around at drastic speeds. It wouldn’t be feasible for a normal aircraft to drop from one point in the sky and end up much lower the quickly. The light didn’t follow normal aircraft movements. I didn’t realize until many days later that my neighbor and I both witnessed the same lights and movements, as we weren’t together when we saw it originally. We both reported seeing the weird lights and movements.

My husband and I were laying in the grass at Palmer Square in Logan Square, Chicago IL and could see strange objects, slowly floating through the sky. They were very far away. They followed one after another about 1 or 2 minutes apart at a steady pace. We saw about 6 of them before we had to leave. All following the exact same pattern. They looked like shiny, upright ovals, with what seemed to be an orb or light around them. They were so far away that we were unable to see any other detail.

I was on my top deck, when I noticed one of my chickens looking oddly straight into the sky. After quickly realizing where the chicken was looking up towards at. I saw a flying object at first, I thought it was a balloon in the sky. However, I noticed the object moving like a rolling motion and noticed triangle and squares shaped interchanging. After, confirming it was not a balloon it all of a sudden vanished. The object seemed to be a gray or black in color.

Driving down state road 15 seen a shadow triangle in shape travel across the road and dissapear as the shadow reached the side of road. We both looked at each other and both asked if each other seen that then we looked up and all around and observed nothing at all in the sky not even a bird and was clear skies...

We took some photos of our trip from Gateway, Co. to Moab, Utah- through back country dirt road. Took a lot of pics. About a month later- 10-14 days ago- I examined the pics for wildlife by expanding them and noticed this blue-green thing in the clouds. I had taken 5 or 6 in that area and got 4 pics with the UFO in it. As it ‘flew’ (or slowed down or prepared to land) it seemed to change from blue-green to a normal saucer shape (pic 3 $ 4). I showed family and friends then contacted you.

On Saturday morning, June 19, 2021, around 7am, I was standing out in my driveway and heard an aircraft approaching from the East going West directly overhead. I stood and watched it come into view. It looked dark, probably not dark gray, but more black, was triangular in shape with there being two projecting structures out the back area. I thought F-117 Nighthawk but then wondered could it have been an F-22 Raptor? It really didn't look exactly like those aircraft so I wondered maybe some new stealth aircraft. If not a stealth aircraft, unidentified flying object. I didn't see a projecting front part of the aircraft like I see in the F-22. I didn't see any flashing lights. It had a sound that wasn't like a typical aircraft and it seemed to lumber across the sky . I am in Leesburg, Florida where we have a lot of aircraft overhead every day. But, nothing like this!

Barret beach fire lsland NY, NY
Saw a bright Circular yellow/green light about the size of a softball flying in no pattern almost zip zagging high in the sky. It got larger and smaller as it seemed to get closer and further away. i was on a boat with myself and another person and we both saw it. It blinked 3 times and then vanished into thin air. At the time there were no other people in sight or boats. It was at approximately4:17am on 6/19/21 at Barrett Beach fire island NY.

Looking at stars and a meteor type of object travelled extremely quickly across sky travelling directly North and stopped for a second or so over my house at approximately 40-80k feet. After the object stopped, it drifted and appeared as a satellite, a second later the object quickly changed direction and moved at a 45 degree angle. As it moved, a bright white light like a old flash camera hit me directly in that the light did not illuminate my surroundings. The craft then stopped and the white light flash happened again. The craft was motionless for a few seconds just before speeding off into a white particle tunnel like plume.As it sped off into the portal, the craft travelled at faster than light as the craft was several inches ahead of the light trail emitted when it hit its warp drive. Also was dramatic take off from the stopped craft position in that it travelled straight up, stopped moved directly sideways, the straight into the portal. The whole sighting took only 10 seconds, however I checked my watch immediately before the encounter and it said 11:45pm. When I looked at my watch immediately after the incident, was 11:48pm. The sighting was too fast for me to record photos or video.

Alright I’m doing this on my phone but I was snapping friends and excited to see a storm from my deck. I’m watching the clouds roll in and about 50-100 ft not super high but 2 glowing balls are headed from over the hill towards superior (I also have a video my roommate who witnessed it with me got one caught in on film when I was trying) they flew like just over the power lines like light softballs or something of that size. I thought it was a bird but it looked like it was on fire like a firework. I’m like that can’t be a drone I just seen 5 of them. All different courses but mostly towards superior at different angles just like fast floating in which made me think this isn’t a drone race or something. I saw one maybe 200 ft up headed same direction a few minutes later and pointed it out to my roommate. She was snapping the double rainbow the clouds were giving and caught the tail end of the last one. I thought I was the only one to see it with her but my g! aming buddy said his girlfriend and neighbor just witnesses one in proctor which is like top of the hill before you enter duluth. I saw roommates snap and told her to save it and email it so it didn’t lose quality and you can still see the object and they all looked just like that one. All towards superior but different trajectories. Only have the one video was hoping more people saw it and reported it.

I held my thumb up to it and it was larger that my thumb nail at aprox. Cloud level moved much faster than a plane across the sky. I was on the tele phone with a friend when I witnessed the object. No sound was emitted from object.

I noticed something strange in the sky, so I grabbed my binoculars for a closer look. Binoculars are Galileo Model G-1250 so I can see 12 times farther than the naked eye. In the field of view through the lenses, the object was about 1/2 inch wide and 1/3rd of that in height. Rectangular shaped and red. It was the color of a cherry. The object spun horizontally, which doesn't make any sense. It really looked like a car, and that doesn't make any sense. It even looked like there was a wheel too, a small one - with a rim, the same as a car wheel would. I could not make sense of this thing. I even wondered of it was that Tesla that Elon Musk released into space, but it wasn't falling fast like it should have with the gravitational pull. The object was too strange to be a plane or an air balloon. It wasn't a helium balloon. It was too big to be a drone. I do not think a remote controlled device can fly that high, but I do not know. It was just a spec in my eye w! ithout the binoculars. I grabbed the binoculars because of the flash the sun made on it when it spun. The spin speed was about as fast as a beacon light for aircraft to see. The metallic sheen flashed brightly when the sun reflected upon it, when the object made a horizontal rotation. I put down the binoculars to try and focus my eyes on it and try to get a photo, but when I looked up again it was gone. I only took my eyes off of the object for a 2/10ths of a second. I regretted putting my binoculars down. I was facing south, and the object would be about south west if the face of the compass were facing me. There were no lights. I can hear sound through my windows, but only a small amount. I heard no sound coming from the object, and there were no streaks. The sky at the time, as I looked through my window, was cloudy, but blue sky was also visible, and the sun was able to flash off of the object. This sighting happened around 4:52pm on June the 18th. Feel free to contact ! me if you would like.

A metallic sphere hovering somewhat low in the sky that I could drive under it and pass it. It was on a overcast cloudy day with low clouds and the metallic sphere hovered not far below from the already low clouds. The background was similar to the metallic color of the sphere, dull grey. The sphere had a dull grey color but also was reflective. I could see some sort of thin layer of heat radiating from the craft hugging it. The sphere did not maneuver around as I was seeing it but a few seconds after spotting it disappeared after I drove under some thick trees that blocked the sky. I was driving the whole time this happened and it only lasted a few seconds. I had a good enough look at it to know that it wasn’t a balloon of some sort.
