2021-03-21 UFO Sighting over Hillsborough NJ I was looking Eastward towards the moon and noticed it was about at first quarter. That would make the sun approximately 90 degrees away in the sky. The moon’s terminator was not perpendicular to the horizon and I was thinking about the spatial geometry as I looked away towards the light side of the moon. That’s when I saw an object in the sky. The object was bright. And as I watched it, it seemed to be hanging in the sky and not moving. I grabbed my phone and took some pictures. It appeared long and cylindrical or cigar shaped. Then I perceived it to be actually moving albeit slowly. I watched it for a few minutes and decided to run over to my parent’s house to use their binoculars. They live behind me and we have adjoining properties. Looking through a pair of 16x26 binoculars I observed the object to be long and vertically oriented. There appeared to be three lights or three sections of high reflectance. The top was orangish. The middle was greenish. And the bottom was orangish; The same color as the top one. The underlying structure appeared to be black. I pointed out the object to my parent’s neighbor and asked if they wanted to see a UFO. She came over with her two children. I gave the son the binoculars and he looked at the object. The neighbor remarked that she heard there may be meteors and I said this is moving was too slow. My mother came from the bottom of the garden and my father came out of the house. I pointed and said, “It’s a UFO”. They said it’s not a UFO. And I said it’s not identified so it is an Unidentified Flying Object. We watched for about 15 minutes as the object slowly made its way over us in the sky. It was fairly close to passing directly overhead. I will approximate +/- 15 degrees North-South from zenith. The object seemed to move constantly from East to zenith. At which point it became hard to see and was lost in the sky. This makes me think the object was reflecting light from the sun. The sky was cloudless. The weather warm 65 degrees F. Photos taken from 40.46208787255178 North, -74.62081433617985 West (taken from Google maps). Altitude at original sighting was approximately 40 degrees above the East-SouthEast horizon. Moon can be seen in one of the pictures. Foreground tree used to help locate object when zooming. I am currently the Director of Engineering at a small automation company. I have an undergraduate degree in Engineering Physics. I taught astronomy lab at the University of Maine and volunteered at the Maynard F. Jordan Observatory for public observing. I have a Master’s in Experimental Particle Physic. I spent three years at CERN working on the forward muon system for the ATLAS experiment as part of an unfinished PhD.

The floating object appeared South of my location the sun directly overhead on a cloudless sky . No trees to block vision , not looking through glass or window. Easily seen . It appeared to be very large and appeared to be less than a mile away. Hovering approximately 400-500 ft above trees in the distance .The objects shape was like nothing I’ve ever seen . Large flat top ,left side straight down and smooth right side appeared to be an upside down staircase and tapered down near the bottom. The side that I saw was completely silver in color and with no movement disappeared with blue sky’s where it was . At that moment I told the other witness to turn around and to see it appear again in the same location when we both saw it appear again and disappear again with no movement at all . Approximately 20 seconds and never saw it again . A friend of mine who lives right near the location of what I saw has a motion sensor video close up and very good quality taken! week or so earlier . Very very interesting. I’ve never seen a video this close up .This must be seen . I will have him post it .

Poulsbo, WA
My partner and I were sitting on the balcony of our condo when we noticed a strange lighted object in the sky, above the tree line. It was moving up, down, and horizontally. The light changed brightness and at times would disappear completely and reappear in a different location. After the last time it disappeared, it looked like there was either a triangular craft rotating, or three separate crafts rotating in a triangle formation.

I was sitting in the car and these three dull lights caught my eye enough to stop and stare, the three lights were in a triangle formation, they moved down to the left fast stayed and then disappeared after about 10sec. The lights were just white lights. They weren’t acting as thought and airplane or known aircraft would

Wikiup, AZ
Location of where we were standing: (34.6078352, -113.5292099) BLM land on Signal Road just south of HWY 93, southeast of Wikiup, AZ. We were looking in the direction of Wikiup (to the northwest). At 8:15pm my fiancé said “Hey, do you see these lights in the sky? Come here!” I looked to the northwest and saw several red lights dimming and increasing in intensity on the horizon and also disappearing and reappearing. At most we saw 13 red lights at the same time in various formations, but most often it was between one and four red lights at a time. We watched the horizon for over half an hour. On three or four different occasions there was a big white explosive burst of light in the sky next to a red light. This white light expanded to a bigger circumference than the red lights, and also faded as if it were a cloud of smoke dissipating. Around 8:35pm we saw two red lights zoom away from each other rapidly and then fade to darkness a second later. This was the first time we noticed they could move, which was really exciting. All the other times, the lights faded in and out in stillness, but this time it was clear that they were floating in the air and could propel themselves to move very quickly. The clouds above the lights sometimes reflected the red color of the lights and also the white explosive lights- it looked almost like lightning, the way the clouds lit up on occasion during this whole ordeal- but the weather was not lightning storm weather at all, so this was peculiar.

Levant, ME
Driving towards Bangor through Levant when I noticed 2 amber spheres hovering over a farm about 300 feet off the ground. Silent, did not move. I observed for 5 minutes while driving. I stopped at a store at a 4 way intersection to look at the objects. They disappeared. I continued home and observed a third object over a field on the Bangor line. This was a single orange sphere. It too dissappeared. This is a military flight path the spheres were hovering on.

Scottsdale, AZ
From roughly the 64th Street and Bell Rd intersection, briefly saw a crisp light in the SW sky, moving WSW at incredible speed. Looked to be very high altitude and clear light - completely unlike a plane. Moved at almost "shooting star" speed, but without the tail you get with a shooting star, hence excluding possibility of either a shooting star or a normal aircraft.

A white sphere hovered over my neighborhood for several minutes before disappearing. We did not witness it move at any time. We were trying to photograph it and during that time it disappeared. We were able to take one clear photo of the object that I would like to provide to you.

I was taking pictures of incoming commercial aircraft from my patio in tampa,fl on March 19,2021 with my Nikon 3400 digital camera.I then downloaded the pictures from my camera to my computer, On reveiwing the pictures I took, I came across a picture of a aircraft flying southbound and below it lower and quite a distance from it is a object I cannot identify. when you zoom in it reveals a object that is apple shaped but out of focus.and as I was shooting to the west at approx 4pm the object seems to be reflecting the sun. I can assure you I have not altered the picture in any way,nor am I interested in any gain from this picture, I just want an expert opinion on what the object may be.

Hannibal, MO
March 19th 2021 at around noon I was driving on us36 westbound through Missouri. I pulled off the highway in Hannibal, MO. To look for a UPS store and both my wife and I saw what looked like at least 100 floating gray and white “orbs”. They were floating through the air like a school of jelly fish at an altitude of around 300-500ft elevation. They were very dynamic in their own individual movements while staying together as a group. The whole group was moving eastbound seemingly with the wind current, but each individual orb was moving up and down and all around each other. They were not balloons. They had no protrusions, or wings, or anything at all coming out of them. They were not perfectly round, more of an oblong or beachball size football. The longer ends always pointing up and down. They seemed to have a gray side and a white side. They seemed to be turning around to show their white side, but all at once, and when they turned to show their gray side, it looked like they all had vanished completely. I don't know if they were actually turning. For all I know, they could have been spontaneously changing colors. At any rate, they all changed colors at the exact same time. There were 4 orbs that stayed apart from the group at around the same altitude. I'm not sure what they were doing, but they seemed to be some sort of parents or chaperones. There is a conservation area just to the east of where we were, called “Steyermark woods conservation area”. When they were over that area, what I thought at the time was a park, they formed more of a column, getting very close to the ground. We were in a huge hurry at the time and it was at this point we had to continue down the highway and it all became a memory for us. In conclusion, my own personal thoughts on the matter is that they were biological lifeforms almost like jelly fish. They moved as part of a cohesive group, but made their own individual movements within the confines of the entire unit. I've seen videos online of the exact same lifeforms in Korea and Mexico, and it makes me wonder if it's the same group or are their different schools that travel in their own wind currents.

Houston, TX
I was driving to Hobby Airport around 3:30 to 4:00 AM on the freeway. I immediately seen a flash of light in the sky, shaped like a game controller of sorts with bright lights on it. It looked surrounded in white light. It shot across the sky like a shooting star and disappeared into the clouds without a trace WITHIN seconds. I believe I seen blue lights on it as well. It moved so fast that I almost think I'm tricking myself into believing what I saw. I nudged my mother hurriedly, frantically asking "did you see that? did you see that in the sky?!" but she didn't. Only I did, and it was an amazing experience. It wasn't an actual shooting star either. No shooting star is shaped like a video game controller. It moved faster than the speed of light.

A large bright light that traveled slowly, then hovered, seemed to get dimmer and brighter then appeared to fall down toward horizon. It seemed to briefly cause neighbors car lights to flash. It was like a large really bright star with haze around it.

Heading east on long divide road, noticed a perfectly string of lights. Stopped to see what it was. I tried to record but cell phone would not pick up what i was seeing. Heading northeast lights as bright as most visible stars were lined up and materializing and simultaneously disappearing in a perfect line i counted 32. Random lights would be slightly brighter and randomly "break up" into a triangle shape. The center bright spot was there and then would transform into a slowly rotating triangle up to a certain size from my view. I seen 3 or 4 brighter dots do this. They came from the same spot in the sky and the string continued to the same spot in the sky to which they disappeared. One after the other perfectly spaced, perfectly in sync with speed. Massive amounts of "shooting stars" within my vision spectrum of concentration on these lights. I sat and watched these lights for 2-3 minutes before the last one came and went just like thos! e before it. I never seen this type of activity in my life and I'm left awestruck as to what possibility it could truly be. At first glance of recognition I'm like huh what's that constellation never seen that before. Then i realized it was too perfect and stopped. Then realized they were physically moving and grabbed my phone to attempt to record.

Portland, OR
I was standing on my back deck, bending my neck about half way up to look at the stars. I always look at the stars at night when the night is clear. That night, it was pretty clear so I admired the stars. However, upon admiring, I noticed a very small object I perceived as a star but then later realizing it was an unknown object, perhaps a craft. There are very tall pine trees in neighboring yards, the sky was a medium night sky blue with little grey clouds, and this unknown object was hovering right above the top point of a pine tree. There were few clouds out that night and the object was in front of a small, grey cloud. I thought I saw it slightly moving and thought, “ It’s just how stays shimmer.” I was mistaken, I froze in a sort of fear and every time I saw the object move, I became terrified, shouting, “No!” Every time. The object was a little bigger than a star, it seemed to look like that on purpose. It was diamond shaped, with the bottom coming to! a point. It would move side to side and up and down; as it moved side to side, you could see the outline of the shape of the object. I felt as though this was something most people weren’t supposed to see. I’ve never felt this way about anything. It was intelligent, with its moves and shimmering, like it wanted me to notice it, like it was playing a little game. If shined bright like a diamond, like a star, no lights, no flashing, just a simple object replicating a star. The next day, I noticed two small places in the area looking for something. There are no coincidences. There’s always a small aircraft flying around my neighborhood, we see it every night. This object I observed was not something I’ve ever seen before. Although I believe the event lasted around six minutes, when I came back inside my apartment, I realized time went from 12:17am- 12:49am and I know I wasn’t out there that long.

Mansfield, OH
While getting ready to go to bed, I looked out the bedroom window to the north and asked my wife if she saw the same lights in the sky as I could. She did, and asked what it was. The lights were rapidly glittering back and forth. Traveling above the clouds, it was wider than a normal aircraft. Flying south to north east of Mansfield. I called for our sons to come see it as well. Our youngest son tried to get it on video, but he couldn't focus on it with his photo. The craft did not make any sound. It was not a satellite, it was not the space station, or comet, or meteor. I have star gazed for years and know what normal aircraft, and celestial objects are at night. The pattern of the lights did not match any that I have seen in 40+ years of watching the sky. They were bright white and did not follow the on/off pattern but, it was random, rapid, back and forth.

blue light slowly wavering across the sky, then circled, seemed to break into two lights, separated far apart, then back into one. then took off at a 90 degree angle and vanished. No sound (like engine noise). I could not tell what the blue light was attached to.

Kure Beach, NC
Triangle with the front with glowing Red and Orange/Purple light. Came from Southeast from ocean. Stayed in that same type formation. Then it glowed bright white from front tip of triangle formation. Fired a white type circular type object that traveled west then went towards the west. It circled over the Cape Fear River to MOTSU Sunny Point Military Ocean Terminal. Then back over land to the ocean, Then it disappears. Kinda like it burned out or went dark. Estimated speed was at least 4x a normal airliner it appeared. No noise at all. Idk if it’s extra terrestrial or some military aircraft. But seems very high tech with extreme high speed. Btw: It’s becoming routine to see these strange incidents between 20:15 to 22:45 hours almost every night now. If it’s clear outside. Always coming off the ocean. Never appear on flight tracker either.

A light I thought was an aircraft. It was traveling South to Northeast. There were no indicator lights, no noise. I thought it might be a satellite but the light seemed too bright and appeared to belower than the satellites I've seen while star gazing. Steady rate of speed, no direction changes. The white light turned to a red color and then vanished. It was above normal aircraft altitude for this vicinity. Not sure what I saw.
