I saw a slow moving black rectangle in the sky, tonight. We saw it for about 10 seconds, and it was between 8:30 and 8:40 PM. It was in the sky east of PDX airport north of the Columbia River. It was moving to the north and completely black, no lights. However it was followed or accompanied by what I think was a helicopter that did have blinking lights. I judged it to be about the same height as the fuselage of a 737 and a bit shorter than a 737. This is based on my assumption that the following aircraft was at the same distance as the rectangle. We were driving west at dusk on SR-14. It was silhouetted. I did see the lights on whatever was following it, but no lights on the rectangle. It caught my attention because it was moving too slowly for a fixed-wing aircraft, but was bigger than a helicopter. At first it didn’t register and then I said to my wife “what was that thing?!” She had seen it too but by that time it had gone out of view. Shape was a rectangle with sharp corners, and no bumps, wings, rotors or anything, at least not that I noticed.

04.11.21. 12:11 pm, clear day. Silver/gray spherical ball first observed kinda hovering above a mesa. The mesa is about 1000 feet above ground level. Sphere hovers and within 10 seconds, quickly shoots up higher in the sky and then disappears. Have two photos of distancing of the sphere. Electric City is at the Coulee Dam.

Three sporadically moving zig zagging lit objects just below the overcast dark clouds. Witnessed them mid morning for about 5 minutes in the Westerly skies. After approximately 5 minutes the three flying objects went straight up through the clouds and disappeared. I have no idea what this could have been.

Came outside to look up again, and spotted a yellow sphere like shape that was flashing or almost spinning. Took my camera out and began recording and a smaller orange sphere appeared below the brighter yellow twinkling/spinning sphere. It would blink but not in any specific pattern like an airplane. It continued to blink and look as if it was rising toward the larger sphere.

Hooper, CO
My dog and I went camping out across from the Great Sand Dunes in Colorado (West side of the Dunes) on (4/10/2021), a Saturday evening. It was very windy all day but eventually settled down after the sun set. I brought my telescope but did not even bring it out of the car as the sky was completely free from any clouds and was incredibly dark to where I could see every star in the sky. The first thing I began to notice in the sky as it was darkening was the incredible number of satellites moving in the sky. Every satellite had a clear path and speed. I made it a point to notice satellites and any aircraft (sound, consistent speed, consistent light patterns) in the area so that when it got dark enough to see without trouble, I would be able try and identify what was in the night sky. The first occurrence happened just after midnight. I had thought to look at my phone to check the time but cannot remember the exact time. I had forgotten my tent for this trip and ended up sleeping in the back of my SUV with my dog by simply lowering down the back seats and lying flat in the back. As I was resting on my back at this time (feet at the hatch and head towards the engine), I looked out of the back passenger side window (looking North-East direction out of my car window towards the Sand Dunes mountain range) and saw what was the color of the northern lights – a green that wasn’t a solid color but seemed to change as if it were the northern lights) but that color was in what looked like the shape of rings (almost like sonic the hedgehog rings) or disks. The green color was only around the edge of the disks (or at least it appeared the darkest around the disks). The inside of the disks appeared to be dark, like the color of the sky, or was transparent. I could not! make out this detail in enough time before it had disappeared. The rings were moving and bouncing sporadically but as if they were bound within a container, almost as if contained within a large bag in the sky. The space within the container but outside of the disks was that same green color but just much fainter, and I honestly could not tell if it was naturally that color or was just because the disks were moving so quickly back and forth that it made it appear that color). Just as I noticed it, it had disappeared by going over the view of my car, and I did not see it after that. There was no way for me to even estimate a size of this object or have an idea of how far away it was as it was a completely clear sky and was in view above the mountain range, but if I had to make a guess, I would say that if I stretched out my arm and held my index finger out that it might have appeared around the size of my first finger joint (from tip to first joint). I am 5 feet 5 inches ta! ll. The next event was most likely sometime between 1:30am and probably 3am. The time I cannot be exact on, as I did not look at my phone to get the time. When looking out of that same window as the first event – what looked to be almost the same location as the first, there was what I thought was a star. I felt a bit more gravitated to look in this spot not only because it was more comfortable laying down and looking in that direction, but because I had also seen something through that window already. The ‘star’ did not seem to twinkle like I would expect stars to do but honestly just looked like any other star in the sky otherwise, but as I looked at it longer, it had started moving slowly from its location in the sky (or at least appeared to move slowly since it was coming towards the direction that I was camping). As I kept an eye on it as it approached closer towards the campground – coming from the North-East direction of the mountains and moving in a South-West direction)! , it then appeared to have accelerated very fast (but gradually as it reached a fast speed if that makes sense) and flew out of view. When it flew somewhat overhead of the campground, I never noticed a sound. I had noticed some airlines flying overheard while in my car previously that night and was able to hear them somewhat, so I was carefully listening for a sound as it had flown overhead, but never heard anything or felt anything like a rumble. The only detail I could make out about the object as it flew overhead was that it seemed like it was maybe spherical or oblong and could have been white or possibly silver – almost as if it was a dimmed star. It appeared to me to be fairly low in the sky – appeared as if it could have been lower than the airliners that had been passing overhead from the mountains all day and night. Around the same time period – I can’t recall if I had seen this object before or after the one just previously mentioned - I had also seen another star-like object in the sky. This one was not seen in the back passenger side window that the other objects were seen through but was seen through the passenger side window. It appeared very bright white in the sky, just like a star, but just a little brighter. In fact, it was just above another star in the sky, which helped give me a reference point. I knew that it was not the star Sirius as it was on the opposite side of Orion in the sky and quite a distance away from the Orion constellation itself. As I watched it for only just for a couple of seconds, it slowly faded out – probably within the timeframe of 3-4 seconds. I guess it could have been an aircraft, but I had not seen an aircraft come from that direction all night and felt that aircraft's light would not slowly fade out and would just turn off and on like a normal ligh! t switch. My other thought was that it was an aircraft with its light on and made a turn while the lights were on, but the light itself dimmed and went out to a single point rather than a light being on in full display and turning to the side. I thought that I saw an object that looked the same as the previous white or silver move away from that location immediately following the light going out, but I am not certain of that as it was fairly far away in the sky. I have no idea the distance away the object was or how large the object could have been. The final occurrence happened at 4am. I did look at my phone at this instance to check the time. In near the same exact spot as the first and second event, I saw the same northern light-colored green and bag-like, container shape in the sky. The only way I could describe it was that it looked like a flying nebula (basically looked like the first object but you removed the rings or disks). I only caught a quick glimpse of this object – about the same duration of time as the first object - and it followed the same path as the first and went overhead from my view while I was in the car. I got up and honked my car horn in hopes that I could wake up the neighboring campers to alert them to wake up and look out at the sky, but don’t think anyone did. As soon as I honked, I actually jumped out of the car to try and see if I could see it, but unfortunately, I did not see it again. I did, however, see any even darker sky than I thought possible from earlier that evening. The milky wa! y was visible and unbelievable. I would compare the distance and size of this object to that of the first object. For this object, just like all of the others, I did not hear any sound or notice any rumbling as the objects travelled. This concludes what I witnessed at this location. This is my first-time reporting anything like this as I did not know how to report, or that I should, up until recently. I did experience another object, very large and red right next to my home, just through the tree line – no light that emitted from the object…it was as if the light was contained within itself and made no sound. After about two seconds, it then went out, slowly but not too quick, as though someone turned off a circular LED ceiling light. I noticed that there was very clear and defined detail about the object as it dimmed/turned off. This occur

Approx. 12 yellow fireballs were observed. Shooting up from the west horizon to the northwest up high. The first 4 made a square then one would fade off and another would shoot up and join the others and make a triangle, then one would fade off and others would come up and make more of an arrow. My sister and I saw it and I grabbed my cell phone and took some video. When I uploaded the video to my desktop and larger screen you could see a cylindrical shaped object down below the lights that we could not see with the naked eye. We were surprised to see it. We first thought it might be Chinese lanterns but clearly there was control over the fireballs to make the patterns. We thought maybe drones, but then what was the cylindrical shaped object. There was no sound at all. I reported it to one of our news stations and they said they had several reports but were blaming it on the Starlink satellites that were launched on Thursday. These were not the Starlin! k satellites that appear in a straight line. Very strange and would love to hear a logical explanation.

Terre Haute, IN
It was a clear non windy evening at near dusk last Saturday. As I was traveling about a half mile of where I live in the country in the southwestern part of Vigo county outside of Terre Haute IN, I saw what I first thought was a peculiar looking drone flying over the big farm field near the corner of Curry and Sullivan moving West. The colors and size as it approached me was too different to what I have ever seen so I quickly pulled over my car and opened my car door for a cellphone picture. I then realized it was aware of me as it quickly changed direction moving back East. It had a circular rotation of the center four lights that turned independent to it's flight path. I couldn't hear any sound as it slowed down from maybe at most 30 mph to almost stationary observing me taking pictures. All were blurry except for the one I will send you. The photo has the same two colors of bright neon like Pink and lite Blue. The two rectangular Pink in the front were po! sitioned lengthwise and the other 2 behind them were lite Blue and also lengthwise but smaller. For some reason the photo merges the other lights in the center but you can still see the same colors and circular shape. I had to leave because there was a car coming from the intersection nearby as I was outside of my car, so I left. I did some searching on available drones for sale and nothing that I can find remotely looks like that. Also it's hard to judge distance but I would say it was about a 100 feet high at it's closest to me and would have been bigger than any drone, about 10 feet wide at most. So I definitely think it's some other type of unidentified intelligence for sure!

Tucson, AZ
I am a sober middle aged man with glasses. I haven't been diagnosed with mental illness nor ever had a hallucination, to my knowlege. I was outside on my front porch which faces West when movement in the sky drew my attention. I saw a soft white series of lights that looked more like reflections of moonlight than self luminous. There seemed to be two chevrons, one pointed forward and one pointed to the rear at a slight askew, upwards angle, with a distorted, perhaps reflective area between. It blocked out the stars and hazy high level clouds as it passed but some distorted lights seemed to be reflected in the area between the chevrons, which I assumed were reflected city lights. It's size was slightly larger than a silver dollar held at arms length. Within 4-6 seconds it passed from about 40 degrees to the Southwest to 45 degrees to the Northeast where it faded from sigh. It made no sound and there was no way to judge speed or size, other than getting an impression that it was larger than a private plane in size and much faster than any normal aircraft, but I cannot say with certainty. There were no standard navigation or running lights and I am fairly familiar with aircraft. I am convinced this was something unusual. This was over Tucson, between downtown and the University.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/6gb38aylbes15yp/20210410_214642no%20audio.mp4?dl=0 Above is a link to the video. On April 10, 2021, between 9:30 and 10:00 pm I went outside to make my dog come in. To the south west of me, I could see these bright yellow fireballs, about the size of tennis balls, launching up from the horizon to just west of me. Four launched and made a square pattern. I ran in the house and got my sister and grabbed my cell phone and started the video. There were 3 fireballs making a triangle, and then one would fade and go out and another one would join them. It happened several times that one would fade out and others would join. There were approximately 12 fireballs that launched. When I went inside and looked at the video on my phone, I could see that there was something down below the yellow lights. I couldn’t make it out so I uploaded to my desktop and big monitor, and I was shocked to see the cylinder shaped object down below the lights. It was not visible with the naked eye. It was really dark that night, but I had no idea that cylinder was up there. I am a 62 year old female real estate broker. I’ve been in the business for 18 years, and I have owned my own brokerage for 16 years. I had a computer company prior to that. My sister is 68 years old and works at an oil and gas leasing company, and has had the same job for about 23 years. Tinker Air Force Base is not far from us. My first thought is always the military. I have asked all my military and pilot friends and they are also at a loss. I have always believed in UFOs, but can’t say I have seen one till now. Afterwards, it gave me a pretty creepy feeling to know this one was so close. Is it another country spying on us? I did go to the space.com website to see if anything launched on that day and time, and I could find nothing. I sent it to KFOR, one of our local TV stations, and the only reply that I got was that they had a lot of people calling in, but he attributed it to the Starlink Satellites that launched the Thursday before. I am familiar with those, and this was nothing like it. At least that did tell me other people were calling in. I really don’t think he even looked at my video. I did send it to MUFON and an investigator called me and is checking into it. If our government does not know about these things, then I think they should be made aware. This just happened right before they were showing the Navy film of the UFOs on the news. I made me start looking at the UFO videos on line and with the number of videos and sightings out there, I would think we should be a little more concerned about this then climate change. Please take a look and any information that you may have regarding what this might be, I would love to hear it.

On this evening I was going to close the front door when I noticed red flashing lights in the sky directly off to the northwest. At one point there were five and they were all spaced out, then two dropped out of sight and three remained. They would blink red, then disappear. I have a video of this. My husband also witnessed the event.

I looked up into the sky and saw what at first looked like a shooting star, a ball of light zoomed FAST down and then it went straight up. This was MUCH faster than an airplane and it went down and then up very fast, color was redish and seemed to be blinking.

We looked an we saw glowing orange lights floating in the night sky, with no discernible fornation. They moved at the speed of balloon bit they were larger than balloons and we would not have been able to see ballons at this time of night. After a few minutes the lights just faded away. Even our two dogs stopped playing long enough to watch this happen.

04/10/21 2AM At 1:45 neighbors dogs barking. I went outside to investigate. I felt something out there so I went back inside & got mu infrared video camera. I panned around the 40 acres and saw nothing. I then, had a feeling to turn it up to the sky. I saw hundreds of orbs different brightnesses from bright white to almost see through. One(smaller one) went down within 6" of the ground like it was just feeling around. It suddnly rose up to about 3' off the ground then shot off like a bullet. I think it felt a big flying bug that was just coming into view that landed almost in that spot. A few minutes later, the orbs seemed to be thinning out from hundreds to 20 or so. I tipped the camera down to look & saw nothing. I for some reason felt an urge to swing the camera up to a certain spot and only had to pan aruond for 1.5 seconds until I had a UFO/METEOR IN THE LENSE. It was moving much slower than most of the orbs. It had a long sharp tail with a bright ! white ball leading. As it entered the atmosphere, it seemed to slow down even moore loosing the bright white & the tail was much shorter. The circle began to dissapear with just a white circle edge with an object inside. Almost like a shield around a ship maybe. The instint the white circle was completely gone, the inside object took off turning left & up. I coild only just make it out until it dissapeared by distance.I then panned around and all the orbs were gone.I have 15min. or so of infrared video on this.An infrared video camera with a high power infrared long distannce light attached to video camera. I tried to catch bugs, flying around with a bat compare shapes, sizes & speeds along with comparing how fast the orbs were speeding by the stars. Nobody around here was awake & as far as I know I was the only one to see them. I don't even know if anybody could without infrared!

About 2300 on 04/09/2021 me and my wife we outside smoking a cigarette. We saw two spheres of reddish orange. They traveled a speeed and motions that were unlike Aircraft. Very quick and sudden moves as they crosses the sky. Not a sound either. I have a video of the encounter as well. What made it so clear for us to see was because they were below the clouds and that night we had dark clouds so they illuminated as they traveled across the sky

Woodstock, NH
I was living in Warren at the time and visiting a friend in nearby town Thornton, with another friend who lived close by to me in Glencliff. We left to head home around 9:30. I remember when I first got in the car, I spotted a bright orange light in the sky, I became fixated on this light while driving, and kept glancing up at it. I mentioned to my friend who before we left became extremely tired all of a sudden, I kept waking her up to tell her that it seemed like the orange light was traveling alongside of us. As I drove to Lincoln to make a stop at the store I kept looking at it's position to other lights and stars in the sky and it kept changing in relation to other bright lights in the sky, so I was certain that seemed like it was following us. I made a stop at the store and grabbed a couple items before the trip home over rt. 118, a remote scenic mountain back road which is approximately a 40 minute drive from where we were at the store in Lincoln to home, and the time was about 10pm. My friend was in a deep sleep in the passenger seat as I left and proceeded to drive home all while still glancing up at the orange light every chance I could which never left it's position just over my left shoulder. I remember nearing to where I consider to be the halfway point and the light moved to become brighter and more in front of me to the left and then I noticed maybe 3 or 4 bright lights join the orange light. I slowed down an tapped my friend and asking her to wake up because she had to see this! Then in that moment, I stopped the car right in the middle of the road and it lit up in front of us, my entire view was lit up in horizontal row of blinking lights! The sparkling lights hovered closely and directly in front of my vehicle. I took as many pictures as I could and a short video. It was incredible!! Here's where it gets a little weird (from what I recall)... I pulled into my friends driveway to drop her off, I woke her up to tell her she was home and the first thing she said was "OMG, look at the time! How did it take us so long!? and then my phone rang immediately after (no cell service in that region so my phone had connected to her wifi when we arrived) I answered to my boyfriend at the time yelling at me asking where I was, he told me he had just opened his eyes and started freaking out because he was worried why I wasn't home yet and reached for his phone to call me and at the same time my friends boyfriend came out of the house yelling "where have you been!?" he said he just woke up and felt instantly worried when he opened his eyes and realized the time and that she wasn't there, then immediately heard us pull in the driveway. They also both told us they didn't remember falling asleep or going to bed, it was 3:08am! When I woke up the next day I went back over to her house to show her the video I took and she barely remembered it, she had forgotten it happened until I showed her the video. In the commotion the night before I didn't really understand why the guys were freaking out but then thinking back, I don't remember continuing home after that moment up until the moment I pulled into her driveway. We still have no explanation for why a 40 minute trip took us 4 hours, what it was I saw, or what happened in that time. There are details leading up to and following this event but it would take days to write it all out as to my theories about what could have occurred, but both my friend and I feel we weren't harmed and I don't feel scared when thinking about it which I do almost everyday. ** I have 4 images and a 20 second video of the moment I stopped in the middle of the road, I had to remove them to submit this form.

9:59pm 07/09/2021 I was walking from buying some pizza. As I was walking I looked in the sky to see what looked to be like small fire balls. As I was walking past people porches I asked if that were seeing what was in the sky. They looked at me weird then we were talking about it as we were in disbelief. A little after I started recording with my phone as I still held my pizza. We counted about 20 fire ball looking objects rise from what looked like the surface then slowly moved west in a slow rise. Looking as they were flickering as they moved. They were moving in groups of four and three. As each group of flickering fire ball slowly rising in the sky. They would get to the same area in the sky and the fire looking flickering would stop. Some of the objects seemed to fly back east across the sky when the flickering stopped. This went on for about 13 minutes or so. After I seen that I joked saying if they found some shoes and a pizza box let someone now what we seen. Then I started back walking with my pizza. The sky seemed darker after seeing the objects in the sky. I walked for like 5 minutes. Started seeing a red and white light flashing light in the middle of the sky which seemed like it just stayed stationary in the center of the sky. For some reason I was scared to look at it to long doing so made me feel uneasy. I would just look at the sky from time just to see if it was still there and it was but I would not look at it to long it made me feel uneasy. That’s what I seen will also try to send the video from my iphone as well.

I was sitting at the pier on the beach having a bonfire. There was a group of 6 of us, the 2 of us that were sitting at the fire both saw the same thing at the same moment. The light of the fire drowned out any other stars and the clarity of the night sky. All of the sudden it looked like a shooting star but there was 4 perfectly aligned lights spaced all evenly, and they were bright, but perfect bright sphere lights unlike anything I have ever seen. These lights were significantly brighter than any star in the sky that night by a huge margin. The line of lights was above the horizon line of the Pacific Ocean and shot across a small portion of the sky and disappeared in mid air within a matter of a split second. We both looked at each other in disbelief of what we had just witnessed.

Vacaville, CA
I was taking the trash out and looked up at the clear night sky when suddenly my eyes were immediately drawn to these 5-7 orange/red lights in the sky. These lights were all the same size and were in a perfect V-shaped formation heading west to east just over Vacaville, CA. These lights flew straight over my head and were moving extremely fast. I first thought that perhaps the orange street lights were playing with my eyes with a glare or something, so I ran into the middle of the street to see if anything would change but nothing changed whatsoever. These objects were roughly 3000-5000ft in the sky . I suspected that this could be some type of military aircraft but the thing that made it clear that these were not military was how silent these crafts were. No sound whatsoever, just lights. This is my first UFO sighting and it matches how everyone else describes these crafts.
