I was letting my 2 dogs out in our backyard (normal nightly routine) around 9:15pm. It was a clear evening. I was looking up at the sky while waiting and I saw 3 light spheres in a row very high in the sky moving extremely fast. The size of the spheres were very similar to the stars. Moving from the North to the South West. They stopped in the southwest direction scattered amongst each other and vanished in different directions. The timing of the sighting was around 30 seconds or so. I am still in awe of what I witnessed. I have seen the International Space Station, satellites and space junk in the sky over the years but absolutely nothing like this ever! The speed of the light spheres was incredible. I didn't have my phone.No video or photos.

Traveling on Rt 19 northbound at Hansonville, VA in Russell County when a sequence of lights appeared Traveling northeast. They were clustered on what seemed to be a train moving. Lights disappeared from front to back. Weather was clear. 30 clusters of lights(white) that seemed round. The lights moved in unison until they started disappearing from front to back. 1/2 mile of lights moving like a train. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Probable]

I was walking from my car to my house. It was a clear night and the stars could be seen clearly. I suddenly saw a string of lights that I've never seen before. I thought to myself, "what constellation is that??". I stared at it trying to figure out what it could be, but didn't think it was a plane, drones, or anything similar. The string of lights weren't moving and there wasn't any noise of an aircraft nearby. I was walking while looking at them, but looked away for maybe 3 seconds to see where I was going (almost walked into a car). When I looked back up, the string of lights was gone. I looked around to see if they'd moved, but did not see them. I'd say there were about 10 lights in the formation. I realize that perhaps what I saw was a Starlink satellite after reviewing the pictures/videos on your website. However, the lights I saw weren't blurry, they weren't moving, they weren't spaced out that wide, and the string of lights wasn't that long. In one of the videos of the Starlink, I saw that they just move across the sky, but the ones I saw did not. They just vanished when I looked back up. None of the lights I saw were blinking, there wasn't any haze around them, and they didn't change color. They were white, but noticed that one did have a little red, which made me think it was an aircraft at first. What caught me off guard was how quick they disappeared. I was so caught up on trying to figure out what the object(s) were, that I didn't even think of taking a picture or video. This morning as I was leaving for work, I looked at the direction of where I saw the lights just to make sure there weren't any power lines that I might have forgotten were there, but there weren't. I apologize in advance if you believe I saw a satellite, but I honestly don't think it was. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Probable]

We observed one saucer-shaped object as you can see in the first photo. Then, it split (or the first object emitted a bunch of smaller objects) and the resulting objects took off in separate directions— straight up and straight down — (“reformed” post-split saucer up, small Vs / geometric line objects down - see second photo - zoom in to see detail - 4th photo is a zoom of one of these smaller objects), before the saucer shot due East across the Southern night sky, with incredible speed, while the smaller objects quickly disappeared. The saucer was chased immediately afterwards by what appeared to be a military drone, low and moving at high speed.

My girlfriend and I were sitting at a pool when I jokingly said hey look a ufo thinking it was a plane. It was orange though, no flashing of green or red lights like a plane or a drone. It was traveling slowly then seemed to stop and hover after 25 seconds, hovered for 5 and then just disappeared in the clear sky.

The objects were green and flashed, it is not clear that these objects were starlink as there was not enough and moved too fast [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Certain]

Objects were a bright orange and a commercial airliner was above them to the west. Both were undefinable in shape but light of them was brilliant and they moved with speed and then hovered for minutes before changing direction East. A literal right angle turn. Most obvious thing was their brilliance and bright orange color .

Object was pretty high in the sky did not move was very bright and did not move. It showed up soon after sunset. Was in sky about ten minutes when it quickly faded and dissapeared…I took a video of it, when zooming in it looks like a square or rectangle with line through the middle.

After seeing a different black sphere-shaped UFO moving North 8 days prior, I made it a priority to start walking with my phone. Sure enough, 8 days later I looked up and spotted a fast East-moving black sphere that I could not identify. Clearly not a drone, plane, helicopter. Object flashed fully red a few times, before disappearing into the distance. No clue what it couldve been. This one was clearly spherical, whereas the one 8 days prior seemed mostly spherical, but with additional detail around the sphere. Video does not show the red flashes, but to my naked eye it was clearly doing so.

I was in my driveway facing Southwest the sun was just about completely down and I noticed a very bright white light with a smaller orange light next to it coming towards me and it had no blinking lights on it like normal aircraft and coming from an odd Direction. As I continue to watch this come towards me another orange light presented itself and when it's just about overhead a third orange light now form a triangle and one large bright white light but now I can see clearly that it's not three orange lights it's more like three clusters of six Gray ovals with the orange light around them that form a very large triangle shape same exact color as the sky but I could tell it was one craft because the clouds behind it and it was very large and the white light was like a large orb but next to it the best way I can describe it and not until it was right over my head was there sound but it sounded like it was something very loud very far away but it was right over my head then it like changed Direction and went towards the South and they were still traveling side by side the rate they were traveling seemed so slow and steady for as large as the triangle was and they got about to the mountain range and the white orb flashed real bright and went to the left/East and then there was another flash of orange light and it went to the right/West at a very fast rate and they were gone. I have seen things in these Skies before but this was very very close and personal and after considering it I thought it really should be reported

Three or four white spheres making irregular flight patterns in broad daylight. They were very high altitude, and not glaringly obvious to peripheral vision. At one point I observed them in a ring formation, with one sphere making smaller circular motions within the larger one. They left my view in an erratic fashion. They were moving too quickly and irregularly to be balloons or other floating debris, and they were seen clearly enough to determine that they were not drones, planes, or birds. the video attached shows the only video that captured a sphere definitively, and it can be seen changing course and leaving to the west.

I was at the pool during the day and heard f15s flying above the sky so I decided to look up and see if I could see one. This was not uncommon as there was a lot of air activity due to large events north in camp david and in DC so I assumed the fighter jets were just extra security (very common to see government helicopters around the area and hear fighter jets above. When I looked up to see if I could see them, which I knew would be unlikely, my eyes caught a white object flying straight in the sky at a fast speed. I Initially thought it was a seagull and was intrigued at the sight of a seagull so far inland as it is very uncommon. After 5 seconds of observation of the object moving extremely fast in a perfect straight line, I saw a traditional large aircraft above it and was shocked at the speed difference but thought it was because the object was closer to me than the jet. Then the object continued at a rapid speed on a direct straight line and after about 15 seconds it just disappeared. It could have been less than 15 seconds but it was as if time slowed down. There were no clouds nor sun glares it just seemed to vanish. I looked around but all those at the pool were not paying attention (not a surprise as I love planes and look up whenever I hear one) I tried for days to rationalize that it was a bird but I knew deep down it wasn't in the days that followed as I monitored the speed of birds in the air and nothing met this velocity. The object was white, almost a tic-tack type shape, and was flying at extreme speeds before just disappearing

This my wife and I's third sighting of an orb in this area in the past 4 months. This was a silver orb moving steadily and silently approximately 1,000 to 2,000 feet above ground level from south to north, with gradual ascending and descending movements. It also appeared to either emit light or reflect sunlight irregularly, even though it was a cloudless, bright sunny day at that time of day. [NUFORC annotation: Balloon - Possible]

Clayton, NC
It was close to 5:00a.m. and I went to the store just about 5 miles from where I live south on US70, I got to the store at 5:00a.m., I got what I needed then I walked back to my car got in and started to drive, I was going North to get back home on US70 the time was now 5:15a.m. and something told me to glance over my left shoulder, I looked and thêre it was l, a bright light flying fast and flying low, my first thought was this is flying too low to be a plane but I said nevermind and kept driving, I finally get to a point where I could turn left off of US70 so I did, soon as I turned the light turned to the left with me. I told myself ok I didn't just see that I must be tired and seeing things so I kept driving, on my left hand side is Clayton high school but now the light is on my right hand side and seems to be getting loét, I make it to a stop sign on main street and I make a right turn, the light turns to the right with me, At this point I'm starting to think I'm going crazy cause I know nothing of this world can do that so I tell myself jokingly I'm going to stop and if this light stops I'm getting out of hêre so I stop, The light went about 2 or 3 feet then stopped in mid Air, once I saw that I freaked out, it didn't move until I made a U-turn and started following me again, I made my way back to US70 going south and it followed me all the way back to the store I originally went to, I parked and got out and thêre it was hovering above the store but now it was higher up in the air, it was making slow movements inch by inch in all directions, People that came in and out of store I pointed it out to thêm and they all said they didn't know what it was especially cause they even pointed out the stars that were in the sky and we all agreed what we were looking at definitely wasn't a star, I took out my phone and started to film then I got back in my car and stayed in my car until 6:30a.m. The light was still above the store, I told mýelf I'm going to drive to another store 5 miles from this one going North, I started driving and the light took off following me again slightly ahead of me until I reach the store, I got out to film it but thí time it wasn't showing on my screen, I could see it with my eyes but it wasn't showing on my screen, it's 7:00am I get back on the car and start to drive home. The light followed me until I almost got home then it vanished, My video is short but the few people I sent it to that are like me and done believe in this kind of stuff all said they can't explain what they are looking at

Object flew west to east slowly flaming for 5-10 seconds. The flames were condensed,were compact with no trail. It was red yellow and white and after the flames went out it was red white round and pulsating. Slow moving and seemed to slow down and change direction. I saw the Starlink reentering earlier this year, dozens of satellites, asteroids and meteors and this had none of those characteristics. I did get my phone out in time to catch a video of it for the last few seconds of visibility as it seemed to be listening and then turning sharply right before going out of view

I think it was in our orbit very high in the sky.

Estes Park, CO
On the morning of September 04, 2023, at approximately 2:30 in the morning, my passenger and me saw a brightly lit object traveling towards us at approximately 100' as we drove East on Prospect Avenue in our car, away from the Estes Park Medical Center. Given our proximity to the hospital, we assumed it was the medical helicopter with its landing light illuminated preparing to land there. However, as the craft approached us, we realized that it was much too large to be a helicopter, it was disc shaped with bright, white, hazy lights around its perimeter, and it was completely silent. When the object and our vehicle caught up with one another, we came to a complete stop as the flying object also stopped and hovered silently above us at approximately 100'. It was a very large disc that was very brightly illuminated with white lights, and it hovered completely silently. After watching the object for approximately five minutes, we became a little concerned as to its intentions, so we decided to depart, and as we did, it also silently and rapidly flew off. As a private pilot myself, I am certain that it was not a craft developed or operated by humans.

We were standing on our back porch watching in awe as dozens of tiny red and white flashing lights zoomed across the sky into triangle formations releasing what seemed to be smaller red blinking dots. The lights were moving at least 10,000 miles per hour disappearing and reappearing almost at random. We heard cows screaming at one point which is strange because we do not live near any cows. While admiring this sight they all suddenly disappeared and didn't show back up. Before that happened one of the lights moved at least 25,000 mph away from something almost as though it was fleeing. This object seemed to be larger and brighter than the other ones. I also felt a presence of being watched.

Bright orange fireball visible but rocket/jet not visible just the orange glow that left a straight intense orange trail as the object traveled from SW to NE that traveled at supersonic speed and dissipated within 30-45 seconds as it traveled beyond my horizon (oak trees blocked view as it traveled northeast).

I was driving due east my I looked up at the moon to admire it and saw an orange orb hovering/ flying under it. It’s was flying south west direction. It’s looked like it was on fire, 1 main orb and 3 perfectly spaced slightly smaller orbs directly underneath. It was floating southwest slowly for 30 seconds idk if it was horizontal because of my angle but it ended up higher in the sky because it was moving slightly towards me but more south, which is why it’s above the moon in the picture. Then it changed color into a blue and quick white and moved faster but not super fast, kinda like went warp speed but not very far, as it broke up into more pieces but only a small distance. It became a single orb not any color after that and went back to an idle speed . I lost track of it after that since I was driving.

Husband was driving down 275 and I was looking at the moon and noticed a very large red orb in the sky. At first thought it was a planet or star but it was too large. Then i thought it could be a plane but there were no blinking lights and it was completely still at first. I kept watching and it turned and was it then looked almost like an L shape. I saw what I believe were bright red lights and it looked like there was fire coming out of it. It started moving across the sky trying light behind it and then suddenly completely disappeared. Don't know if this matters but I was feeling symptoms of anxiety a few minutes prior to seeing the object.
