Lucerne, CA
At around 11:30 PM, I noticed a star blinking strangely in the night sky through my window. It appeared almost the same as an average star, however, there is substantial cloud cover tonight and I noticed slight changes in hue when the thing blinked. I continued watching, reporting to some friends over text at 11:53 PM (hence the timestamp.) I left for a few moments, and the star was gone. I stared at the sky some more just to be totally certain, and saw the object streak relatively slowly across the sky. I see relatively similar things on a regular basis, so I thought I'd report it.

I was driving on the Taconic State Parkway in Westchester County, New York. I noticed an unnaturally bright purple/blue light/glow in the sky on my left which I guess must have been coming from the West since I was northbound. I recorded with my phone as best I could since I was driving but even before I watched the video, I could tell that it wasn’t coming from a light source on the ground. I eventually lost sight of it so I assume it took off during the moments in which the sky was blocked by trees or buildings

Canon City, CO
I'm a 66 year old Colorado Springs resident for 30 years plus. My friend from Denver was driving. We took a day trip down to see the Royal Gorge and then on to Salida and back. As we left Canon City the stars are always bright in that desert area. My friend said "What is that green light ahead" on the right side of the highway? I said it was probably that one flashy star that I can't name. He said "No. It's moving this way" as it was running parallel to the highway. I said ,"PULL OVER". I thought my jaw would fall off. He had to continue a few feet as the shoulder was narrow. Then a driveway allowed him to jump out with me. My friend didn't have the view I had as he not only was driving and wears glasses. I could clearly see a perfect triangle of three what appeared to be dimly lit discs which were not separate, but part of one craft. No clue what the vehicle itself looked like. These soft green discs seemed more like what propelled it than marker lights seen on aircraft. It banked slightly left and the discs became obvious. It took approximately 15-20 seconds to pass by and head west from view.

Treasure Island, FL
While on a walk in our neighborhood we observed two very bright white lights in the sky. They were brighter and larger than a star. They were not moving and did not have any flashing lights. I'm interested in space, so I look up at the sky all the time and I have never seen anything that looked like this before. I was about to say to my husband what is that when the two objects shot off away from us due north toward the horizon and disappeared. We continued our walk and observed another light in the sky. I was looking at it when it suddenly change direction and turned north in the same direction that he other two had gone.

Dix Hills, NY
While driving westbound on NY's Northernstate parkway, I noticed suinshine on an overcast day, i looked up to see clouds swirling and forming a hexagonal shape of clear sky, what looked to be much larger then a 747 airplane started darting back and fourth in the sky, at times going out of my visual range. The thing looked like a steryotypical flying saucer though with a less narrow and taller top half, almost shaped like a fedora styled hat, and appeared a dark grey indistinct color. The thing was very huge, I cant understate this, if I had to estimate, I would say roughly 300' across maybe 40' tall. The thing was moving to me what looked like left and right but was probably closer to North / south given my orientation. The thing was moving incredibly quickly i would guess at least a few miles as it moving beyond my ability to see it, also the trees by the side of the road were tall, I could only really see to my left/up, but i could see clearly for a fair distance given the curve of the road. After going left / right a few times maybe less then 10, it was gone, and the clouds were back to normal as well. the geometric vortex in the clouds seemed to follow it and give a clear view of it as it moved. I was driving in moderate traffic at the time so I had maybe 15 seconds of view time over a maybe 30 second period. I didn't know I could report this until today, the dates and times are estimated as it was a while ago, but I'm fairly certain the location is within 2 miles of the sighting.

I leave for work at 7am and was excited to be able to see the passing International Space Station scheduled for that morning at 7am coming in from the NW direction over my house to the SE. As I was scanning the sky toward the NW I saw this white cylinder craft moving exactly like the ISS and I was so excited because I've seen hundreds of night ISS sightings but never one in daylight! It was just hanging there, moving along, very large and white against the blue morning sky.....no sound and no contrails.....so I get in my car and as I'm driving out of the driveway it hit me....that wasn't the ISS because it was moving the opposite direction of the sighting information! This craft was moving from NE to SW. I stopped and could still see it floating on away. I got 2 pictures of it and as I am researching the images online I find a ton of people with pictures of the same thing just seen at different times, in different years. They are calling it a Tic Tac s! haped craft. I don't know what it was, but I KNOW it wasn't any type of jet or airplane that I see going over my house on a regular basis. It wasn't up as high as the big jets that cross over my house but it was higher than the small planes that cross over my house.

Palatine, IL
I often go outside to shoot pictures of the stars, planets and Moon. On March 9 it was very clear outside, so I went out to shoot some time-lapse images of the stars. From 21:04 to 22:10 I shot about 33 photos, most at a :30 second shutter. Upon review of the first photo of the night, and only the first photo, there is erratic movement in the sky during the :30 second shot. This shot is pointing South by Southwest, and the unidentified object draws a bouncing line from point to point. Maybe this is a common camera abnormality, but I am not familiar with it. While the camera is stationary, and shows all the stars and trees in the background to be stationary, this object moved around the shot in the :30 second shutter time. Of the other 30+ shots I took that night, I don’t see anything else like this, including the shots in the same direction that I took shortly after the first. I hope you can tell me what this is? I can provide other images from that ! night, if you think it could help.

Charleston, SC
3/9/21 was finishing up a run and at @ 7:48pm a Super Bright Brilliant White object that looked like a comet raced over me (same direction I was running) in the Sky to my left like an airplane coming in for is landing. It lasted About 3secs and was gone from my view. Fastest and brightest object I’ve ever seen in the sky and it seemed so low compared to any comet/ meteor I’ve ever since. I am posting because I thought for sure by now that somebody in Charleston had to have seen it besides me post something on social media but have-not seen anything in the last 2 days. The Sky guide app mentions Comet P/2010 V1 being visible at the same and for a couple of days.but it’s path of visibly doesn’t match the up or trajectory of what I saw. This was the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen in the Sky in my entire life (48)

The witness had turned on the outside light to let his service dog out to "do his business" and the motion-activated ring camera came on showing a one minute clip of the dog reluctant to move out in the yard, then looking like it saw something. At the end of the clip light reflects off of the man's glasses twice, then the RC shuts down. Right at that point a very bright light (like an arc welder) from a rectangular probe-like object about 12-15" wide and 6-8" vertically was observed by the witness, for about 20 seconds. Witness felt object had thickness and solidity and that the light “panel” was actually on a solid cylinder-shaped object. Although very bright, it didn’t hurt his eyes to look at it, which he found difficult to describe. The light also had a “moving-ripple-like effect” to it even before it moved, which he attributed to a reflection effect off of the stainless-steel chimney cap (which had a pattern of vent holes across it). When first seen, the object was stationary, but then began to move very slowly to the right (west). This took it briefly behind the chimney. The object was about 60-foot away and about 3 feet left of the chimney at first and about 50 feet up, or 20 feet higher than the roof. The witness' Apple iPhone 11 was unable to lock on the target to take a picture. This witness just happened to be the Operator of MADAR node129 at Ball Ground. At that time the site was not DAS-equipped (alert klaxon) but the node hadn't triggered anyway because it's shield or threshold was set at 25 milligaus and the magnetometer reading never got that high. However, the one-minute data lines showed some irregularities. The magnetometer had spiked and compass heading changed 5 degrees while the object was present. IC (Investigation Concluded): Unexplained.

Louisville, KY
They were lights red orbs, circular form. Don’t Know if they were aircrafts or just lights. Our location is in Louisville, KY. 589G+CX Louisville, Kentucky. We were facing south. They where traveling like in a formation. Not a straight line, but more like two staggering lines. We saw them disappeared after passing a certain point in the sky. They were silent. No helicopter or air plane sound. My husband was able to take the very last few orbs on his cell phone camera. Afterwards, I google it and see that this has occurred in other states, like in Texas. The orbs were very much like the ones on the articles I just read over the internet. Summary description: Red light orbs in a formation hovering in Kentucky.

Was looking at what I thought was a plane going through the sky. It was still dark outside so I couldn't see the shape, but only the light. The light then changed directions and shot through the sky like a shooting star would do.

Frankfort, KY
Four lights arranged in a line appeared to be attached to some rigid body that I couldn't see. The spacing of the lights and the speed with which it crossed the sky made it look like an extremely low b2 bomber but it made no noise at all. It appeared overhead because a house was blocking my view of half the sky. It was either close and fast or it was far and EXTREMELY fast. Halfway through it's flight, the lights tilted as if it were a banking jet however the orientation of the lights didn't make any sense as a man made plane. Before it reached the horizon, it faded into darkness instead of becoming obstructed by objects near the horizon.

I was on my back porch waiting for my dog to finish her business when an object suddenly appeared in the back corner of my yard flying toward the house in absolute silence. Thinking it might be an owl, I took a closer look as it came closer and was able to get a very clear look at it. Flying about 50 feet above the ground, it was a flat black rectangle with 3 white stripes on the bottom, unevenly spread apart. The object was maybe 5 feet long and 2 feet wide. It made absolutely no noise and moved through the air very smoothly at a consistent speed. It ended up flying right over my house and I was able to follow it and get a very clear look to ensure my eyes were not deceiving me. I have never seen something fly so silently and smoothly across the sky. It would have been very easy to miss given its silence in the dark sky if I hadn't been in the right place at the right time.

Richmond to Norfolk, VA
We were flying north at 39,000 feet over central North Carolina. From the cockpit of our commercial airliner the Captain and First Officer witnessed two white lights way out in the distance above us at the 11 o'clock position. The two white lights appeared in loose formation coming from the northwest over Richmond, Virginia. When the two white lights were equidistant between Richmond and Norfolk, Virginia, they turned south coming directly towards us at the 12 o'clock position. Again, they were way, way out in the distance and moving fast. Shortly thereafter, the two lights then turned left towards the northeast. The lights faded from view as their turn commenced. They disappeared from our view and nothing else was seen. Duration of our sighting was probably 2-3 minutes. The two lights did not exhibit navigation lights, strobes or rotating beacons like a normal aircraft. As it was 00:35 hours on a Sunday night/Monday morning, we surmised the lights were probably not part of a military mission or in-flight refueling. Additionally, as the lights would have been above 39,000 which is extremely high, in-flight refueling would not have been a normal occurrence at that high of a flight level. We asked the air traffic controller if he had the two targets on his radar. He said no and we explained to him what we saw. The remainder of flight to destination airport was uneventful with no further sightings of the two white lights.

McMinnville, OR
Sitting on the edge of my bed, taking off my socks, I looked up through the sliding glass door on the opposite wall and saw a very bright “star”. Immediately, I knew it could not be a star because it was cloudy that night. I stood up and walked to the glass trying to see what it was. I was looking to the North. The light was bright white and appeared to be 2 lights on the same craft. The upper light was almost the full length of the craft, the lower light was square and connected by something black or dark, about the same size. I only saw lights and the dark connecting piece. It was so bright I believe it would be visible in daylight. The lights moved completely in tandem. They were each the same color and brightness as Venus. Both lights had a twinkle effect like stars. The object was about 1/2” tall at arm’s length, a narrow vertical rectangular light moving erratically within about a 1” x 1” area: north, south, east and west, gradually moving to the West. If the object was 1/2” tall overall, it would be about 3/32” wide. The bottom light would be about 3/32” square. The black area between the 2 lit areas was also about 3/32” square. I moved around making sure of what I was seeing. It was not a reflection on the glass or on the clouds. I heard no sound, my cat did not react, I didn’t open the window. The object gradually, still erratically, moved west behind a tree in my backyard. At arm’s length it moved about 1” to the West before it was no longer visible. This took about 1-1/2 minutes. It was about as high as two, 2-story houses from my 2nd-floor vantage point. My Background: 77 years old; retired artist; mom & grandmother; live with a cat

Jaffrey, NH
One night driving home from Work at 7pm, I noticed some flashing lights in the sky from a distance. When I drove a couple of miles down the road towards the lights, I realized it was not an airplane because the lights were just hovering in one place. The lights were blue, white, yellow and red when I was closer to the lights, I noticed there was a second set of lights further in the woods a mile or so away. I wish I had decided to record the first object because it was closer to the road and when I drove under it was a strange sight to see, however I did record the second object but it was further away. When I was driving under the first object it was pretty large the lights were flashing bright but not to bright and just hovering in one place just above the tree line. I asked my nephew if it could have been someone using drones, but he told drones can not hover in a stationary position . I also looked online to see if the cars that had been driving in front of me reported seeing the same weird stuff. I saw nothing about it but after reading about some different reports in NH I feel like I may have seen a similar object.

Belton, TX
Approximately 8-10 objects in a group transitioning south to north, possibly southeast to northwest. I would estimate them to be over 40,000ft. No contrails visible. Skies clear. They were white objects. However, some flashed. It was more than likely sunlight reflecting because there was still daylight. Within the group of lights, two to three were red at times. As they transitioned across, their speed was more so constant. However, several of the objects maneuvered faster in random directions.
