Saint Paul, MN

We were outside to observe the ISS flying overhead flying from the NNW to the North and did observe it successfully. We then looked south towards the moon and observed approximately 50 to 60 lighted objects flying in a row, from the direction of the moon towards the NE. They were all moving at approximately the speed and had similar spacing, but not completely equally spaced.

Me and a couple friends were at a park when I was looking up and saw 3 satellites or small silent craft moving at the same speed in a triangular formation from the southwest. They stopped and a set of 3 white v shaped lights with the points facing inward was witnessed. The set of lights appeared from out of nowhere. A basketball was bounced to distract. Then a red dot was pointed at 2 other witnesses. I told them then we left the park for the night. Entities were then made close contact in the later parts of the week.

Earlier this evening at around 8:45PM-9:15PM local time I witnessed some type of drone craft over Redstone Arsenal visible from a neighborhood just Northeast of Gate 10. It had lights and flashers consistent with FAA regulations. The craft slowed to a hover and after a couple minutes it delivered a payload of what seemed to be short-burst comet-type effects that lasted 8-10 seconds with 8 or 9 projectiles that launched out and then back toward the vessel in a circular arc. After the initial display the drone returned back southeast, was presumably reloaded and then delivered the same payload to the same location albeit slightly closer to my location about 10-12 minutes later. I dunno if they are working on some type of pyro display for a corporate retreat or 4th of July celebration, but it was pretty darn cool-looking for the small effect as it was. If a bunch of these were synced up to a timed show and launched closer to the audience radius I could see it h! aving a nice affect in conjunction with a traditional pyro display.

Owensboro, KY

On Friday, May 21, 2021, probably around 7:00-7:30 in the evening but before dark. I was sitting outside on my back patio enjoying the nice weather and watching the evening sky before the sun went down. My house is next to farmland to the west. Something caught my eye to the south of the barn in the field next to my house. When I looked that direction, it was a dark colored saucer ascending from an area just south of the barn heading north and rising at about a 45-degree angle. Against the lit sky, the saucer appeared to be black or charcoal gray. There was no sound coming from it, and what was strange is that the saucer was moving in a tumbling motion. I watched it till it disappeared in the clouds. I'm guessing the saucer was possibly tucked in somewhere around the tree line to the south of the barn. The barn is maybe 300 feet or so from my house. There was no mistaking what the object was because it was so close and still daylight. I would describe the size of the saucer to be at least that of a very large SUV (or slightly larger) tumbling through the sky. It continued to move in the tumbling motion until it disappeared in the clouds. Unfortunately, I did not have my cell phone outside with me to record the sighting.

Oregon City, OR

Between 3AM and 3:30AM I was out walking the dog, I looked to the north Northwest towards the Portland area and saw a bright orange light, circular in shape. I thought it too big to be Mars. I hadn't seen that light in at part of the sky before and it was bigger and higher than the tv or cell tower lights in the same area. It then disappeared. A few minutes later, I saw what I presume to be a saucer like craft, too dark to know for sure, with lights, blinking and circling the sides of yellow, orange and another color, I can't remember whether blue or white. I listened for a sound to identify it as perhaps a small airplane, but didn't hear any noise. It flew from west to east. I have never seen flight paths near my home fly that direction. They normally fly from south to north. I watched until it flew behind a tree line.

I saw a single object this morning. Was a bright silver light. Sun was out. Seemed to be picking up speed to the north and then disappeared. Definitely not a plane!

Pasadena, CA

It looked like a plane flipping upside down at first. It would glide, then flip over with sporadic bright flashes of LED looking lights (the sun was still shining) that took up half of one side. I saw it flip over again, but this time it was end over end. I couldn't tell what was the top or the bottom. It was in the east sky heading north.

I snapped some pictures and upon arriving home ,and reviewing the photos I realized there were a few of the objects but am unsure they are the same as the initial one I saw. The last photo appears to say the word cloud written in the sky.

Was waiting for light to change I looked up and saw a shiny shape in the sky in front of pickup my phone and took picture when I looked at the picture there were two of them they were shiny like a oblong shape the light changed and had to move but looked to my right and they were gone it happened so fast and caught me off guard that I had no time for video

Lynchburg, VA

Reporting an observed anomaly in the Southwest Sky between the moon and the star Arcturus. There were two lights which appeared to be bright planets such as Jupiter or Venus stationary about two lunar diameters apart. They did not move but simply began to dim and then vanished from sight. I am an amateur astronomer and fairly familiar with the night sky. I knew there were no planets visible from my location at that time, yet these initially appeared to be planets. The entire event duration was between 10 and 15 seconds. I checked the Heavens-Above website to see if there may have been iridium satellites visible from my location but did not find any. This remains a mystery to me especially since there was no movement which would preclude most logical explanations.

Newport, VT

I was sitting in a friends back yard when 6 or 7 lights streamed across the sky. They were following the same trajectory and did not deviate from the same line. It lasted for a total of 2 or 3 seconds. At first we thought it was the Chinese space station debris or a meteor shower, but the lights weren't scattered.

Charlotte, NC

Driver was traveling south in her vehicle on Interstate 77 near intersect of Interstate 485 just north of Charlotte, NC, half way between Charlotte and Huntersville, NC. At 10:25 pm (22:25 pm) on May 20, 2021. One large triangle shaped smooth/sleek object with three bright white (LED) lights on each corner was seen in the sky at approximately the height from the ground of 3-4 full grown oak trees tall. It was dark in color (black or dark silver gray) and appeared to have a smooth undersurface, which is what was in view of this driver. There was no sound and it remained stationary (hovering) in place without movement. The three corners of the object appeared to be somewhat rounded. (Difficult to determine some details as it was very dark outside.) Reminded driver of the smoothness/sleekness and shape of a Stingray, somewhat sci-fi or "futuristic" in appearance. The large size of this object appeared to be similar to or slightly larger than a commercial a! irline carrier (Jumbo Jet), only a solid large triangular shape rather than a slender body with wings.

On May 20, 2021, I was going home with my friend and my grandkids. Through the windshield, I noticed what I thought was a falling star. It was very bright, moving diagonally downward at a fast speed, and had a long sparking trail. It was so awesome, I brought it to the attention of the others in the car. I even started to tell my granddaughter to make a wish, but instead practically yelled, “look at that! Are y’all seeing this?”, because it was growing so bright. I thought sure it was about to burn out, and told my friend to stop the car so we wouldn’t lose view of it. Within a split second of them acknowledging they saw it, the object stopped moving; which we all noted was not something a meteorite/falling star does. It, basically, hovered in the air. At that point, it began to increase in size and brightness. It grew in size and brightness, for at least 15-30 seconds before blanking out. But, as we slowly proceeded on, we saw something moving back from the! point of vanish toward the direction the bright object had come from. This object looked like tilted plane wings, of sorts. There was 2 faint lights...one yellowish just below and to the left of a red one, on an oblong silhouette. There was no true outline of anything, such as an airplane, but the span between the lights was far too wide for a drone. I’d say, at least 30 feet. Going by the height of the adult trees in the area, it was well over 150 feet up. I don’t know if it made any sound, because we never shut off our car. It appeared to stop again, in the distance, but the others in the car refused to stay so that I could watch longer.

Richland, WA

I was sitting on my back patio which has a view northward over the Columbia River and into Franklin County, Washington and beyond. I spotted 5 objects flying in a formation in a sweeping motion in what I can best describe as a Blue Angels air show display. The objects were triangular shaped, without visible wings, nose, or tail, and reflected the sun each time they turned making them highly visible. The weather was partial sun with clusters of low rain clouds. The objects flew in complete unison, turning together at exactly the same time going side to side (east to west). I observed for approximately 10 seconds and asked my spouse if she could see them. She did. We watched for approximately another 10 seconds and I ran into the house to get our phones. She continued to watch for approximately 20 seconds as the objects continued to move in complete unison, turning together like a school of fish and they were much faster than an airplane covering a large dis! tance. The objects were many miles away, and moved quickly. There is an airport in the area and the objects did not behave like planes in the air. There are birds in the area and the objects did not behave like birds. When I returned with the phones approximately 20 seconds later I could not locate them on the phone screen as I attempted to record. My spouse looked down at her phone to begin recording and could not locate the objects again when she looked up. I have a flight tracker app on my phone and I checked it. The nearest plane to us at the time was above Sunnyside WA, approximately 40 miles west.

Saw a very small stationary light which flashed on and off slowly (almost looked like something was revolving and reflecting light which may have generated a “flash”). Appeared to be farther away than planes flying overhead but did not move for at least 5 minutes

Garibaldi, OR

This is my 4th report to your agency because I am having multiple sightings happening day or night even in separate locations. Each event taking place since my first report - I am seeing more orbs, ships and now beings which would be classified as unidentified areal phenomena. These experiences have been taking place since May 18th, 2021. I have had previous experiences before both here in my current location of Salem, Oregon as well as Denver, Colorado. I have witnessed what I would describe as orbs, spherical in shape exhibiting occasional flashing of light and flying about in every direction (N/W/E/S) individually or in pairs/groups. I have witnessed some type of invisible ship dropping 3 to 4 orange orbs (one at a time) and watching them fly off and disappear. I have only once seen an orange orb since then and multiple smaller white orbs were also present and appeared to acknowledge my sighting and attempts to capture on film/video. On Saturday, May 29th, 2021 I was packing my vehicle for a trip to Garibaldi, Oregon located on the Pacific Coast near Tillamook, OR. While packing a being of some type (cloaked/somewhat visible) shimmering with sparkles of light within showed up – very close to me. It scared me and all I could think of was to say Wish me a Good/Safe Trip and waved it away (which seems very silly). The shocking part is that when I arrived in Garibaldi, I witnessed the same things there. I have NO IDEA if they followed me or were already present at that location very near the Pacific Ocean. I do understand that these orbs have been sighted off the coast of California near Catalina Island. I do not have knowledge if the sightings I had there may also be submergible. While in Garibaldi, Oregon and witnessing small white orbs flying in every direction (N/S/W/E) I would see a very brief flashing of something black. Some of the white orbs flying around appeared along the mountain ridge just at the back of Garibaldi (Northern direction) and all other areas of the sky. Some of the beings (cloaked/somewhat visible) shimmering with sparkles of light would attempt to communicate almost the same as a blimp advertising numbers, wording and images to me. It seemed to change from numbers to images of human faces and other faces (possibly what I would describe as grey aliens). It was hard enough to believe these experiences were happening to me at separate locations day, or night, in all directions but now attempts to communicate. The beings (cloaked/somewhat visible) were presenting themselves multiple times very, very close to me. It was frightening, nearly unbelievable and confusing. When I would attempt to film/video my experience that specific area would only appear as a blurry section within the sky. On Sunday May 30, 2021 I was standing on the street in Garibaldi speaking to my relative’s neighbor and happened to glance up in the N/E direction and see something black suddenly appear from nowhere in the sky at a low altitude and I screamed “What is That??” repeatedly running north to get a better view. I watched this black thing turn into what I would describe as a giant dragon fly or scorpion with no wings but having a long tail of some type. It almost appeared to resemble a helicopter, but they do not have tails that hang beneath them – and they make sound. This object seemed to fly down to the ground because I could no longer see it above the houses in that neighborhood. I was not alone this ! time. My relative’s neighbor, Virgil, was present but he could not see that well because of recent eye surgery. He thought it was a helicopter, but – it WAS NOT. Sunday evening, my relative acknowledged that she too could see some flashing in the sky here/there but could not see these beings that sparkle. I packed my vehicle to leave Garibaldi, Oregon around 6am in route home in Salem, Oregon. As I approached the vehicle one of the beings was again directly above my vehicle. I was very frightened at night to stand there as I was imagining to be abducted. It was still dark and yelled for my relative to be present until I was in the vehicle and gone. I hoped/prayed I would not see anything during my 2-hour drive or have my vehicle suddenly stop working. The whole idea of what had been happening to me as a credible, truthful woman with no mental illness other than depression. Every report I have made I have tried to be as descriptive as possible and use spell check and paragraphs but each time previously the site would change to a blob of writing (lengthy for you to read) according to your description. I hope this report will work correctly. I thank you for your time and consideration of having an investigator speak to me about these experiences.

Salem, OR

I have lived in Salem Oregon for the last five years almost exactly on the 45th parallel near Portland Rd & Lancaster Dr NE. On several occasions I witnessed various types of Unidentified Areal Phenomenon but never had a camera with me to document such sights. Often, I see these things after 9pm and later. On December 4, 2017 I saw a white sphere moving silently & slowly a couple hundred feet above me in a Southern Direction and as it moved higher into the atmosphere disappeared. I was awestruck because it was so close. On Wednesday evening, April 14, 2021, I stepped out onto my back porch so the dog could go out and was looking up at the stars in a Southern Direction from my home and saw some type of craft drop 3-4 orange spheres (one at a time) and as each one dropped it flew off & disappeared. I had never seen anything like that before and did not believe them to be flares as they vanished almost immediately. On Tuesday & Wednesday night, May 18 & 19, 2021, I was outside at various times both nights witnessing small white orbs dancing about in a playful manner, swirling around & racing each other back and forth through the clouds. Just when you would look at one, a slight flash of light would occur in another location flying about in the same manner. It did not matter which direction I looked toward East, West, South or North - there were I estimate hundreds (not clustered) of orbs at various heights and distances all over the sky. That Wednesday night (05/19/2021) around 9:30 I was standing in front of my house and saw a plane flying from North to South along the normal flight path over my home and saw another “craft” with just one solid light under it. It almost looked like a helicopter with a search beacon of some sort. The plane was much higher above this other craft with the very bright light headed just over my head and as they passed I couldn’t quite make out the type of a! irplane but thought it appears similar to the Stealth Bomber a triangular dark color but it went so fast I wasn’t clear what I was seeing. I saw my neighbor sitting in his car and rushed over to bang on his window to see what I was viewing. The airplane continued on its normal route and the craft with the light appeared to be speeding faster in an effort to catch up or pace the other plane when suddenly it veered on at an abnormal angle and disappeared. My neighbor thought both were airplanes, but I have never seen a plane fly at an angle such as this one did. To my amazement during the day on Thursday May 20, 2021 I saw the same orbs darting in & out of the clouds. It was shocking and somewhat difficult to see them with daylight present, but they were there. We had brief blue sky, some thunder/hail clouds, and some rain. I was able to document (as best I could) these orbs at various heights and directions around my home location. I did contact the National UFO Hotline and ! spoke briefly to Director Peter Davenport about what I thought! could b e ball lightning or some highly strange unidentified flying orbs. At his suggestion I make this report and have emailed him the videos I took. I am somewhat frightened now that the Men in Black might come visit me, lol. I believe these strange events witnessed are happening more and more frequently and an advocate of FULL Disclosure. CONFIDENTIAL NAME-SalemOR

May 19, 2021, roughly around 8:15 PM I was out with my children and was gazing up at the moon than I saw a black object moving slowly across the sky towards the west, coming up quickly behind the object was a jet airline taking off from Hartsfield airport they came so close they could’ve collided. I thought I was recording the whole incident but when I look down at my phone it wasn’t filming I missed everything. I happen to look back up I saw another black object heading west and this time I got the footage.

Glens Falls, NY

Walking my dog with my wife near the Hudson River we saw a triangular shaped gray craft. It appeared to suck water up into it for about five minutes then sat about 15 to 25 feet above the ground for 15 minutes. It appeared to be about the size of a single seater plane. My dog was shaking and whining the whole time and that's what made me believe that perhaps this was something strange. I asked my wife if she had her phone and she did take pictures. She hasn't sent them to me yet but when she does I'm loading them onto my computer and sending them to you.

Now this thing looked like a four legged bug laying on top water like it was floating it was very flat looking. Low enough that I could make out the shape very well. Traveling SW from a Northern line It was like watching a plane that had been flipped around but was still flying forward as the propulsion seemed to be coming from the to back fins which were large wide flat wings with what looked like to tiny tube cylinders on each end of those fins. The fuselage was thin small like the structure of a bugs figure compared with its wings in some species. It was very … like a pencil but better yet a slick white pen. The two front fins looked flat and petite compared to the whole size; possibly pushing air down? I mean this construct blew my mind.. the Star Wars uhh the jet that has the X propelling it forward. It had a very low sound like a plane. It’s about to be fleet week so maybe it’s just a prototype of some sort but it wasn’t flying towards NYC. Okay then the other sighting that happened moments later and that invisible looking plane was def flying towards the east at a really high altitude. If it was the dudes flying that cool prototype the sun totally gave them up as good as that tech was on it. I guess human tech still glitters? It was cool watching something I could barely make out and if it weren’t for the other thing I saw I would never have noticed it. But I guess any random person would’ve seen the glitter on the vessel. I always have my eye to the sky.. when I’m outside anyway I always see crazy stuff on this mountain. what used to be woods and a Quarry.. It’s a great location for Ariel Phenom. Lol ring should make cams for the roof tops so we can capture more 😍 Cheers Ladies & Gents and to WTF? Right? Damn is all I can say. This thing was flying! And very low in air space like coming in for a landing and as low as you can stay in airspace like idk if anyone’s allowed to be that low there or damn how the hell did it glide that low that quite,, still racking my brain. Have fun cause it’s strange. Not best draining sorry Seriously though this plain looking and flat!! and like a big bug legs fully extended lying flat on the top film of water and just gliding slowly along. ???

Chatham, NJ

A triangular-shaped object, like 3 pods together (like 3 oranges on a plate, all touching) was seen in the Watchung Valley over New Providence. The craft moved vertically, up and down, higher and lower in altitude, hovering, then moving. It had colored lights, like aurora boralis, changing color from red and green, to blue and orange, to green and yellow. It was NOT a plane. I watched from one window, then moved to another to track it. I live very high on a ridge near River Road, able to see 180' of the sky, and I know the flight path for planes, and this was not in the flight path. I thought it could be a helicopter going to Morristown Medical, but it hovered and lifted and never moved towards the hospital, like it would if it was emergency air lift. As I watched it, I waited for it to move like a regular plane or something, to act in an expected way. But it didnt'. It just lifted and lowered and changed colors, and then appeared to be sucked up into a ver! y dense cloud and disappeared.

Object seen during flight from MSP to SAN, over Lake Havasu, Az. Video shows the object changing form, light, and at times appears as a fireball.
