I was driving home and as I was going up the main highway by my house. I saw a triangle with two lights floating making no noise. It stayed in place as another group of people had their hazards on and were recording ahead of me. It suddenly just disappeared before my eyes. No movement at all.

- [ ] Within the past year I took on fun hobby of drone flying. I live in a beautiful part of Connecticut and I have a few places I enjoy flying because of the incredible scenery and also the lack of any major interference which allows me to travel further and cover more area. One day I decided to watch some footage of a fairly remarkable flight I recently captured a few days prior. What made it remarkable was it was the furthest that I have ever flown the drone up till the current point in time. As I was watching this fairly uneventful footage my eye catches something race past the screen at in insane rate of speed, which at fists glance would appear to be a bug which flew past the drones camera very closely. After close examination of the footage it appears that I caught the elusive “fast-walker” on footage. The video shows that this object appears from the extreme horizon which I estimated to be at distance of about 6 miles. The object headed almost dire! ctly towards the drone (Northbound) in a banking motion, as if it is investigating the only other craft in its immediate airspace, then the object disappears from frame almost directly underneath my drone. And all that happened in 1.3 seconds, which means this thing was traveling at a cool 20,000 mph… Yes, you too can see this for yourself, as I uploaded this onto YouTube for the benefit of all. Please note that I am not a professional video editor, I put this video together with a limited amount of a/v knowledge and equipment. Here’s a link to the video https://youtu.be/7ZQNNIg8xkI

I was smoking a cigarette out on my porch. I closed my eyes for a few minutes to adjust my eyes and see the stars better. After I did that I saw scorpio and the big dipper - looked for the north star snd found it - but to the right I saw somethings else, kind of zipping/swerving and moving. It was brighter than the other stars. I laid out on the grass for about an hour. In that time I was the stsr move unnaturally quickly against the others,, swerving back and forth. I found when I focused my vision on other peripheral stars the UFO would not move, but when I reverted my gaze it would swerve back and forth and end up in a completly different position against the other stars. This made me think it may be an optical illusuon abd that I was imagining it, but the way it moved seemed so extraordinary that I felt I had to report it. If it was in fact not a star or an optical illusion, I feel that it must have been aware when I was looking at it and when I was looking at other stars to map its movements - it only moved when I looked direclty at it. Another notable thing is that occasionally a light would flash beside the UFO to my left (approxumatlely northwest) - this happened about five times in the course of the hour. It looked like a slight dimmer star, would light up momentarily, and disappear. At first, to me, it looked like a battle (I was raised on star wars) but it later seemed to be a part of a propulsion system, as the UFO would accelerate after the lesser star c into being and dimmed into nothing.

While watering the lawn facing north I observed a long rectangular cluster of different sized orangish orb shapes above my neighbors house.the arrangement of the individual orbs had no real pattern or structure And the sizes were varied but all the same color. It moved together like one object but clearly was comprised of several distinctly seperate orbs.i ran inside to get my phone to take a picture and one by one they disappeared. There are no clouds in the sky. I was a little scared so I called a friend, and while on the phone , in the same area of the sky I saw a line of about 6 small bluish lights following each other. I thought that the small ones could be starling as it looked similar but the website says that starlink is not visible in my location for the next 5 days. When the orbs were disappearing it was as if they were passing behind a wall that wasn’t there, moving forward and just gone.. I don’t know how else to describe it.

I saw many unexplainable lights and activity over a span of a couple weeks. This particular video was of 5 lights that appeared round moving slowly and flashing then taking off quickly. I have videos of other interesting movements and flashing from that same time period. My cell phone acted very glitchy for about a week and actually deleted some of my recordings on its own. Also when u sent the videos to friends no images would show on their end but we’re still visible on my phone.

I walked out into my back yard and looked up at the sky, looking east. There is nothing obscuring vision here such as trees, buildings, walls, or lights. There was a noticeably bright light in the sky, not directly overhead, but probably at low-flying plane altitude. It was round and white. Not flashing. It was standing still. My first thought was a plane moving towards me, but it was not blinking. It looked brighter than a planet. After around 5 seconds, it slowly moved North and gradually became dimmer until it only looked like a distant star. This went on for about 10 seconds before it disappeared completely. Skywatching is a hobby of mine and I have excellent vision, even at night. I have seen hundreds of planes, and this was not one. There was no visible plane body, nor were there blinking lights. At that altitude, I should have been able to clearly read the words "UPS" or "AMAZON" if it were a plane. If it were at a higher altitude, it would need to be tremendously bright. Even then, planes at ~20,000 still blink. There was actually an airplane nearby at the same time. The plane looked as a normal plane should...with blinking lights and a visible body, making a distant sound as it moved. It was farther away, moving sort of South-West. If I put my hand up to the sky, it was probably about a finger's length below the UFO and slightly to the right of it. It was very easy to see the difference between the crafts. Weird things are seen here quite often and my family and I have reported crafts in this area before. We have photos and video of others, but not this one.

I heard a low flying small airplane flying overhead which caused me to look up. When I looked up I saw a white, round, ball traveling at very high speed from the northwest to the southeast. I observed it for about 10 seconds. Weather was clear blue sky, sunny day. Absolutely positive, object was round with no wings or other appendages.

I was on my way to work on 5/18/21 at 0400 in Warwick, NY. I saw an unknown object in the sky with blinking lights that was flying extremely slow and appeared lower in the sky than an airplane would be. I couldn’t make out a shape of the object but it was slowly moving west of me than it came slightly back towards me traveling eastbound. It then went south with about four lights blinking from front to back. I pulled over and recorded it on my phone for 1:38. I turned my car off as I was recording to see if I could hear anything and it didn’t make a sound. This is the third time in less than a year that I have seen an object in the sky and they were all in the same place at roughly the same time, between 4:00-4:40am. The first sighting was 7/24/20 at 4:36 am and the second was 5/7/21 at 4:34. I have still photos of the first two sightings but they are blurry and of poor quality. The location of the sightings is Bellvale Rd between Sugar Loaf Mountain Rd & Kin! gs Highway bypass in Warwick, Orange County, NY.

On May 18, 2021 after midnight my children, wife and I were at my mothers house in the back yard stargazing when my son pointed out a moving star. quickly realizing it was definitely not a star, I grabbed my phone and started recording. To our surprise there were more than 1 blueish/white colored orb. There were about 6 orbs, possibly more. Occasionally they would do what I call a "ploom" which is when they expand themselves and disappear for a few seconds. Their movement would be subtle but noticeable and then it would have a rotating movement as if it was surrounded by, or was energy like a plasma ball. A few orbs would zip quickly and then come to a dead stop (I didn't catch that on camera). After 1 hour observing them, the air force came in from the west and when they were near the orbs, the orbs would move higher every time a jet came by and drop back to their original height once they left. I also took pictures of the orbs, but when I zoomed in on the orbs I realized that they weren't the only things in the sky. There were a few things I can't explain but I'm sure they weren't satellites. A few were amazing and large. I am clueless to what we witnessed that night and hope you find this to be as interesting as we did. I have many more pictures of the objects so let me know if you would like me to send them. Location: 36.1896006,-115.0208834 (36°11'22.6"N 115°01'15.2"W) we were facing Southeast directly above us.

Lompoc, CA
On May 18th 2021 I was driving back home from work on HW1 towards Lompoc. I was about a mile from entering the city when I look up to my right into the horizon it was a clear nigth and could see what it appear as a long tail of falling debrie. I could not hear any sound of any kind. At first I thought I was witnessing either a meteorite or space debrie falling. I made a recording of it and mentioned in it that perhaps this was from the Chinese satelite expected to fall. (I did not know that this event had already occurred days earlier). So as I got closer to town I lost the sitting with the city lights now glowing so I decided to make a turn towards the crop fields were is dark to have a better view of the sitting. To my surprise once I stopped on the side of the road and look up; there was a string oof white and orange round lights probably about 12 or more all lined up moving east I began video with my cellphone. I was able to capture some of the lights i! n the distance. Then I noticed that at particular point in an open space on the horizon the lights were entering and disappearing one by one till they were gone this must have last for about 30 seconds. I noticed that as the lights were entering this wormhole or what it ever it was, their shape changed from round to straight like a cigar. Very strange never have I seen anything like this except in the movies but after experiencing this first hand I have to admit there is definitely evidence of something outthere that needs closer examination.

Corvallis, OR
Over the small field next to home depot parking lot in Corvallis, Oregon for about 20-30 seconds my adult daughter and I witnessed a cigar shaped object that was very pale in color, a very light white or silver, with pulsing white and blue lights... It seemed to be flying very slowly, with a couple of brief stops where it just sort of hovered there blinking. It was pretty low, low enough that we could both tell that it was not an airplane or a helicopter. I turned in the car to tell my daughter to get my phone out of my purse so I could record it but when we looked back mere seconds later it was completely gone....nowhere to be seen.

I woke from a late afternoon nap and went outside to urinate, while I was I looked up at the sky and noticed a light similar to a dull star moving across the sky, I thought to myself wow that plane must have every light on and they must be bright for me to see them as they were far away. as I was watching it cross the sky it started to move up and down as to wiggle and then it stopped and started fast then slowed then disappeared across behind the tree line, I then went into the house looked at the time- my Keurig coffee machine said it was 10:07 I then grabbed my phone and immediately called my brother in Pa and while I was explaining to him I saw yet another light moving in the same area go across the sky it stopped and a another light appeared at 3 o'clock position in which the first light seem to be reacting to it as it then moved downward and the second light moved around to the 9 o'clock position counter clockwise. then the second light disappea! red and the first light started to move up and down moving slowly forward then fast then moved out of view. The travel pattern of both sightings was from north ward to southward direction. The position of where this was seen from my location : the moon was at my back and the big dipper was to the east (or one of the pots of the dippers) of the moon using the second star in the big dipper handle which was facing east and holding my arms in the air keeping them about 20inches apart and in line with the handle of the big dipper I was able to try to provide my brother with a general area to look. He did not see anything and stated his skies were hazy. I was definitely in shock to witness such an event, as it defies what is know about objects traveling in the air, things just don't stop and change directions and then sped up and slow down. I am unsure of what I may have witnessed but I witnessed something.

Meridian, ID
It was something very long, silently flying across the sky and then looked as if it just disappeared into an entire different dimension. OMG! With the naked wire this thing looked like a sparkling contrail. That’s what I thought it was at first for some reason or a meteor. It resembled a trail of sparking dust that something has left behind. Thankfully, I had my binoculars which I always carry. It was a solid long black but lit up craft. It was extremely long and resembled more of a sparkling sword. Like a massively long ship with its own constellations. I took a picture with my phone, but it does not come close to what I saw.

We were facing North(towards Alturas with the Sierra Nevada Mountains to our back). A "string" of 20 to 25 lights, moving from West to East. Fade out in the light wash of High Desert State Prison. This "string" or "train" of lights far to close together to be any kind of flight formation.

Early Monday morning, I was sitting on my deck looking north east that's when I noticed a large red and orange ball of light just under the cloud covering.The ball of light hung in the sky then slowly started to descend. I would say it resembled a sunset but without lighting up the whole sky.The ball of light lasted about 3 minutes before disappearing.I was able to take about four pictures of the glowing ball of light.

May 17, 2021 12:07 am EDT Shortly after midnight, I was leaving my parent’s house to walk home. A pretty crescent moon was reflecting in the lake, so I went down to the beach to look at it. While there, I looked to the Northwest area of the sky, where I was puzzled by a straight row of lights in the sky. Upon closer inspection, there seemed to be cylindrical shaped craft hovering in the sky there, about 30 degrees above the horizon line. There was no sound, and no exterior lights visible on the craft. The light appeared to be coming from windows which were placed in a single, straight row along the entire side of the craft, and appeared to show the light from INSIDE the craft. The light from the windows was steady, white light, not flickering or pulsing in any way. The spacing of the apparent windows were as follows, from the rear of the craft (most clear), to the front of the craft (somewhat hazy): 2 windows, then a space with no light, then 3 windows, then a space with no light, then four windows, then a space with no light, then perhaps 2 more windows? (this part was less clear than the rest of it was). After about one minute of viewing said craft, I was debating about whether to try to run inside and get another witness to come out and see it, but then the craft started moving, very slowly, toward the east. There was still no sound from the craft, just birds and frogs and other lake sounds as usual. I decided to watch where it would go, instead. It was visibly moving slowly east for another 2.4 minutes, until it faded from my view. The fading started at the front, where it was less clear to begin with, and then slowly tapered to the back, until it was no longer visible. I can not be sure if I would call it disapparating, or whether it simply changed its angle in comparison to me, or if it just got too hazy there? The approximate distance it traveled in my view was from a location visually “above” the constellation of Cassiopeia to a location visually “below” the constellation Lyra. The craft appeared quite large to me, and closer than the stars – perhaps twice as far as a regular plane would be? I took three photos of the craft with my cellphone. They do not show a lot. The first two are quite blurry, I used less zoom on the third one, and it is somewhat clearer. I also took a photo of the crescent moon reflecting in the water before the craft appeared, and a photo of the brightest lit area on shore, a local Inn, afterwards, to indicate that it was not some weird reflection upward of it’s lights into the sky.

My wife and I were on our back porch smoking cigarettes and having a conversation. I casually glanced over the top of my Nieghbor’s house and I saw at least 7 green dots in a perfect line and moving very fast across the sky. I yelled to my wife “look look look” she was in shock. She took my phone and took pictures. The objects were moving so fast they were very quickly out of our line of sight. We ran in the house and exited through the front door to get a better vantage point from the street. When we came outside there was 2 men outside my home talking (no relation). When the men saw how we came out the house and how we were reacting to something in the sky one of them asked me “ what are you looking at?” When I pointed it out he was in shock and started to take pictures his friend did the same. At this point the object were getting very far away and very small. The objects were bright green very bright constant green light no blinking. They were very close! together and in what looked like a perfect line. They were moving in sync with each other.

North Tonawanda, NY
A fairly large aircraft was sighted flying above North Tonawanda. At first it had the appearance of several shooting stars. However, they where going the wrong direction. After watching it for a few moments it became clear that the light where attached to a fairly large aircraft that did not look like a airplane. In fact, it seemed 5 times larger than any typical airplane. The aircraft seemed to of had a elongated oval shape to it when the dark areas became more visible from the moonlight. It appeared to have three white lights to the rear when fairly even spacing in between. The brighter lights had a hazy streak of dimmer light going from the rear towards the front.

May 17 2021 It was around 12:05AM when I saw a string of small,moving lights in the sky. It seemed as if they were following each other at a slow,steady speed,with no sound. They moved straight at first,and then began to rather act like a snake or centipede. The lights stayed together about 3 minutes and faded out of my view. We could not get a good photo of the object on the cell phone. This has happened once before around the same time of year. The last time I saw them was in July, there were around five bright lights, and more defined. I would like to know what these are, they seem strange to me.

Event 1) 23:00 hour around 50 or 60 UFO’s right behind each other but slightly scattered went north. Flying VERY close together. Not drone like flight they’re were constant distance and maybe a few off the “line formation” they then got too far to see 2) 23:15 (approx) around maybe 25 lights flying farther apart Coming from the SW but disappearing over our area. Lasted about a min 3) 23:20 UFO’s appears same as (2) but this time there were more than 40.
