I consider myself a fairly knowledgeable UFO hunter and fully disclose I was actively hoping to see one. However, in my entire life, this would be the first time I believe I saw one. I wrote down my report with a basic sketch immediately that night as to not forget the precise details. It is as follows: June 17 10:40PM DUBOIS, PA Object was seemingly translucent. Made visible by firework haze and lights from fireworks. Seemingly popped out of nowhere and shot off in a trajectory that was quickly obscured by neighboring house. Experience was maybe a second long. High certainty of vision at the moment. ---Current Additional Notes--- The object was most definitely a classic boomerang shape. In hindsight the object may have been black just as well. Against the night sky it could seem translucent. I was intentionally watching other parts of the sky rather than the fireworks display. The space I was observing was where it became visible. I had a straight perfect view of it. It was almost as if you could see the haze from the fireworks being navigated through by an object that was low visibility. It moved with remarkable speed and steadiness. As if turbulence or atmosphere have no effect on movement. No light associated with event. No obvious sound associated with event.

June 12, 2023 from about 10:42 pm to about 10:44 pm, I was outside my house burning trash, I saw a horizontal row of about 10 white lights North West of my position. The lights appeared to be about 200 feet in the air, then lower as it approached, then higher as it moved away. It appeared to be about 100 feet wide. I did not count the lights because I quickly went to my house to get a video camera to verify the object. All of the lights were evenly spaced except the lights at each end were spaced slightly further apart than the rest of the lights. The row of lights was moving South towards me and appeared to grow larger and move lower as it approached. I retrieved my video camera from the house and as I returned outside with my video camera the lights moved higher and towards the East. As I pointed the video camera toward the lights, the lights dimmed as it was moving away from me. I was unsuccessful at obtaining video. The lights were mostly horizontal but did change orientation tilting slightly as it moved. The lights moved together and spacing of the lights did not change as it moved, except it appeared larger as it approached and then smaller as it moved away. There was no noticeable sound from the lights. This represents the approximate spacing of the lights: * * * * * * * * * * * [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Probable]

Went out back of my house and saw the object floating above my neighbor's yard high above the trees. It had green lights on the bottom of it. After hovering there for roughly 2-3 minutes, it sped off over towards a more populated area.

8 friends sitting around the camp fire, we have a view of an overlook. We witnessed a big bright orange round light appear out of nowhere to the south of us, it then came across the sky right over top of us. It made no sound. It left no plume or trail. It then continued quickly away in a sharp turn North and we lost sight of it from there. It seemed to have a glow around the object. It seemed like a bright light but there was density to it almost like a bright round craftoving very swiftly and smoothly. It also feels very mentaly weird to us all in that it almost feels like we are supposed to forget about seeing it. We were so in shock we didn't capture much, one member of the group did get a video of it, however it was on snapchat and I don't believe he saved it. The other photos are the orginal photo taken at 10:17 pm the enlarged screenshot and the short clip of the motion photo video mode. The flicker is from an overhead tree. The light in question did not blink. It was a solid object the entire time.

Looking up I saw a really bright orb (brighter than stars)moving slow and steady across the skyline about airline altitude but noticed no noise , no flashing lights like a airplane would have at nite , so I called her out and we both just looked at it while scanning the sky we could see to the north airplanes with lights flashing on their usual routes,we could see this thing gliding across the sky in a route that planes don’t fly near our house was as quick as u turn your head it was gone just kinda went a little dimmer light and object got long thin and vanished within seconds!!

I saw an object traveling through the jet trail of an airplane. It was traveling faster than the plane. When it reached the plane, it passed right by it and kept going. I wasn't able to get my phone out and start recording until it was already at the plane and passed it.

Large Blimp like object about 15-30 bus lengths long, moving slowly 25-50 MPH, only about 300-500 yards above lake surface. Moving in the North-East direction, linear movement. Observed from 18.5 ft aluminum boat drifting in Lake. Yes we realize the photos could resemble starlink, but this object appeared to be a Blimp, which doesn't display in Photos. We're fairly sure about the distance off ground of 300-500 yards, as I'm a surveyor. This is the first UFO myself and friend have seen ever (40 years old). My friend has higher resolution photos, these were sent to me by text message. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Possible]

Above Venus a transparent, elongated object started moving vertically with 1 bright, solid light at the top. It appeared to be moving away from us at first, pretty similar to a rocketships trail. I pointed asking my spouse what that was when we were on the porch, and we both couldn't take our eyes off it because it seemed different. We continued to watch and it started to come across the sky slowly. It appeared as one object, but almost transparent but could still make out a shape, the best thing to call it would be a saucer, the size was unreal I'm guessing 150ft long maybe more. It finally started hovering above our yard, and we both agreed there was distanct 7 lights in a line with even spaces. This was clearly from one object and it was lower than the plane that was passing near it to the right of it infront. The odd part of it was as my spouse reached for his phone to finally take a video as it was right above us. I was keeping my eyes on it and all the lights slowly dimmed and disappeared before he even looked back up. We both have seen questionable things in the sky before, as we are outdoor folk and have been in remote locations with open sky's but nothing has compared to this experience. We both questioned each other after, "Did we really just see that?" After that I felt eerie or as if being watched from a distance and was hearing some odd sounds that I couldn't explain, so we went inside. Its something you hear about but to see yourself was an experience.

Two lights were flying in tandem as I was driving. I thought it was the Phila to Harrisburg regular evening flight but the lights’ arrangement was odd. As I turned into grocery store parking lot, the movement stopped. The lights remained in place as it looked to be over a military area north west of lebanon called Gap. I watched for 5 minutes from dark area of parking lot and took a photo which showed a single circular light, not the two that I saw with naked eye. I returned to route 322 to drive a mile east to a 2nd store and the lights moved parallel to my driving, very fast, but then returned to prior area within a few minutes. When I exited the store I returned to the original parking area to find that they were in a similar location but not exact as I had seen them half hour earlier. I then returned home and stopped watching. Lights were white and object itself couldn’t be seen. When it was the closest initially I didn’t look since I thought it was a plane.

Today 9:20 am Tuesday 5/2/23 I was driving back from the store when stopped at a red light I noticed an object approx. 150-250 feet in the air ascending into a cloud for about 7-12 seconds. The object had a defined front nose with a blurred nontangable rear. Orange glow that appeared to encompass the object as it flew upward into a cloud. Aura or glow- bright enough I could see it broad daylight. At this point the traffic light turned green and I had to focus on the road again. I first thought it may have been a plane behind the sun rising- then I realized the sun was in the other direction.

They were about 300 yards apart from each other. Traveling at a moderate rate of speed and unfortunately disappeared into low-level clouds. I checked air traffic control radar, no conformation.

I was with a group of friends barbecuing just after 5pm yesterday evening. i was walking out into the open area because my friend was pointing to something in the sky. We then saw a small object flying dangerously close to a commercial airline. It looked to be metalic and spherical. The event lasted long enough for me to call out additional friends to see it as well. We did not get a picture of the event, however, i did snap a picture of a strange chemtrail left in the area of the event. Note that the craft was actually moving perpendicular to this trail though.

My neighbors and their daughter was sitting on our porch talking. Ironically, I always like to ask people if they believe in UFO's which i did and of course that started our neighborly debate. Roughly 1-3 minutes later we heard what was similar to a turbo'ed diesel engine. His wife looked at me and said what is that? Her husband turned and looked up the street waiting for a vehicle to speed down the hill. Their daughter went out on the sidewalk and said, well Bob, it looks like you might be right about UFO's. At that point we all ran down onto the sidewalk and saw a square object fly about 100'-150' over our house. The square object had lights in each corner of the square, with 3 of the lights being white, one being red. The square object seemed to fly with one of the corners being in the front. It did not fly with the flat side. My wife looked at her airplane app that tells what planes are in the sky and there wasn't any planes showing. The thing that bugs me the most is, four adults saw this, all of which had cell phones in their hand or pocket and we all just frozen and watch this object fly by. NOTES: As I thought about this all day, the only logical explanation I can think of is that the turbo engine sound we heard was a gas power drone taking off because we heard it and as the object flew over us, it was silent. However, this object was much larger than any civilian drone.

I was with my friend in the backyard looking at the sky one of our favorite things to do. We saw what looked like a plane towing another plane but was connected. We thought maybe it was a blimp but I dont know why there would be a blimp near where I live and it would have been on the news. It was very big and kinda low to the ground and made no sound. There were lights on the front and back. The shape was a chevron but connected.

This silver object was bright which may be from sunlight that was shining on it. This is what made me notice it but while driving it was only observed briefly. It seemed visible enough so that it did not resemble an airplane. At first it seemed stationary but then moving towards the Northwest.

I was walking from the store where I usually get food and stuff I need for the house. I am 17 and I do not drive so I walk there and it is right across my house so not a far walk. It was 8:48 exactly when I started walking back and then I looked up in the sky as I usually do because maybe I might see something or just look at the stars or moon, however, I noticed a blinking white circle just stationary. Then I noticed a fast-moving circle moving towards the white blinking circle. I took out my phone and started recording really quick and when I watched it back I was amazed that the white blinking circle was now red and then changed white and back to red and then would go completely away, but zoomed in you could see it's there. Also when looking at the circle that was moving towards the blinking circle I realize it was moving in a straight line the whole time and it was changing colors from blue to green and maybe some other colors. And when you zoom into the red circle while it is red it looks like it has some type of energy coming out of it I do not know anything, but I know for sure I saw a static circle blinking white and a white circle moving towards it super fast.

My background I am in customer support, and a musician. I want to start this off by saying I’ve been trying to actively make contact for a while now using meditation and CE-5-like cognitive thought sequencing techniques. I tried something similar at 8:00 - 8:45 pm tonight while on a night walk and sitting in my backyard looking for any anomalies. I did see two very high, distant white lights that traveled off, one of them flaring, but it was impossible to know if they were anything significant or just space trash or something. At 10:30 pm I was standing in my dark bathroom brushing my teeth and I happened to look out the window. In the trees past my neighbor’s house an orange light suddenly appeared and flared. It blinked at me. I called my partner in saying “I think it’s a UFO.” He took one look at it and had the usual instinctual fear reaction he has when he sees something unusual and he left the room. It continued to blink at me, then disappeared. For a moment nothing happened, and I opened the window so I could listen for any sounds or anything unusual. Then it returned again and disappeared again after about a minute of being there. Out loud, I very quietly said, “Do you mind if I film you, is that okay?” And I pulled out my cellphone camera and aimed at the spot in question. The included video was the third time it appeared and flared. The video quality is not the best but I kept steady and just filmed it quietly until it disappeared from sight. After putting away my phone, I then witnessed something that looked like a long shape or a cigar shape or perhaps the rounded edge of something larger with a row of orange lights like tiny glowing windows move off into the trees, from the same distance as the initial orange ball of light but closer towards my property. I felt instinctively if I tried to film it, it would disappear, so I did not pull back out my camera this time. I think I can try and recreate the events in future, and maybe then I can film something more obvious than just a ball of light. Right after the orange window object vanished beyond the tree line, my neighbors lights started to flicker like their power was effected. Only their house seemed to be effected as far as I could tell; no other streetlights or my house or anything was effected. But it was right in front of me so I could see it happen. In the past few weeks as well when I go out for night walks I’ve noticed the neighborhood dogs tend to bark a lot at nothing - not near me as I’m walking by but in the distance I hear them almost systematically start barking from one house to another down the block beginning in the next street over to mine. I don’t know what’s setting them all off. As far as neighborhood reports have it, there have been no strange people spotted or any break ins or anything. There were weird “drones” in the area here and in Buckingham very recently though, a swarm of strange drones. I’d like to add I am a lifelong Experiencer and have seen more things in the sky recently than in my first thirty years of life. I don’t know what it means, but it’s certainly intriguing. Orange balls of light seem to be the most common one that I keep experiencing. If an investigator wants to contact me about this experience or any of my others, they can. The included map includes the approximate direction where I saw the ball of light (I could not tell how close it actually was, as it appeared in the trees) and the dotted line is the approximate path the windowed object took, which was at helicopter height but not like any helicopter I’ve observed - nor was anything active on my flight radar at the time.

Multiple people saw this object and reported to police and news media. It was not connected by a wire to ground but moved parallel to ground. Hovered and then moved away. The witness followed up to indicate this was a 50ft solar balloon that escaped (maybe from local school). [NUFORC annotation: Balloon - Certain]
