I live practically next door to Butler airport so I'm familiar with what small planes and Cessna aircraft look like. I was traveling towards Cranberry Twp., PA, on a back road. Clear, sunny morning with spaced out fluffy white clouds. I witnessed a white cigar shaped object moving from my right to my left. I did a double take because it was very bright white. Not glowing, but a very shiny white almost like you had to squint to look at it but I could not make out any wings, tail, etc. When I realized I couldn't make out it was a plane, I actually stopped the car in the road and object went into a cloud and I waited for it to reappear but it did not. It happened quickly and at first I doubted what I saw but by the time I realized I was looking at something odd I couldn't grab my phone fast enough to record and it was gone.

So we leave in the morning around 6:15 to take my youngest to school, and as we were crossing thecChamberlayne Avenue bridge towards Leigh Street, I saw a HUGE ball of bright white light, which shape shifted and at times appeared to be a six-point star. If you saw how big Saturn was during the Great Conjunction two months ago...this flash was easily four or five times bigger. I fumbled with my phone to get a decent shot and video in, but I'm not very good at that. Then, the light suddenly disappeared, like, burnt out, to reveal what at first appeared to be a regular Earthly aircraft, with flashing red lights. But looking more closely, it was also a strange-looking aircraft, weirdly elongated, the red light looked long as well, as opposed to a pinpoint of light. But what really got me was how painstakingly slow it moved, almost lingering. Veeerrrryy weird. Even my three-year-old looked up, pointed, and said look Mommy, a spaceship!

I stood there a moment and noticed what I thought was a plane coming toward me from directly east headed straight west. I was immediately struck by the thought that I had never seen a plane come straight west that way before and I have lived here several years. That's what caught my attention first. The light pattern was different than I had ever seen before, and as an astronomy enthusiast I am always looking up, and I am always looking at planes. These lights were very golden yellow, very muted....it made me think of an old cars six volt lighting system. The lights were steady and there were many of them. They spanned the width of my index and middle finger held at arm's length against the night sky. I had nothing for reference so I really don't know how far away it was but it didn't seem to be that far, but perhaps that was because I expected it to be a small craft. There were two main lights, like a cars head lights, which were larger than the rest, and three flanking ea! ch of those to the left and right, and two small ones between the two larger and a row of smaller lights directly beneath the two larger lights. All the lights were aligned horizontally. I watched it for a moment as it was coming toward me at a even rate of speed, not very fast, which made me think it must be a small airplane, but I believe it was also fairly low, coming across the fields from the direction of Boise. I came in the house and I got my phone and clicked on Flight Radar and while it loaded I watched this craft approaching at a steady rate of speed. I heard no noise, there were no flashing lights, only the golden yellow pattern of lights. I walked out to the front deck to call the cat and expected this plane to go over my head, despite never showing up on Flight Radar, but there have been planes that don't show up on the app for whatever reasons, but I still should have been able to see and hear it by now. I don't even think 30 seconds passed from the time I we! nt from the back door, through the house to the front. I waite! d and no thing passed overhead. I walked out into the driveway and looked in every direction and still I saw nothing, heard nothing. The craft seemed to have completely disappeared. Flight Radar still showed no aircraft near me, other then a commercial flight headed Northwest at 30000+ feet.

There were two lights in the sky as my family was leaving our birthday party for my mother in-law around 6 this afternoon and noticed they seemed to be incredibly low and didn’t make any noise that we could hear over the sounds of nature. Then out of no where another light appears above them and they all seem to slowly drift in opposite directions, then two of the lights shot away, almost replicating a shooting star, while the third light slowly continues to near us, we all just stared into the sky in awe, still processing what we all had saw then suddenly the light is right over top of us; then it disappears. Immediately after my 165 lbs Great Dane comes running to the house whining as if he had been attacked, doing everything in his power to get inside, once inside he wouldn’t stop trying to get under the bed in the spare bedroom, in the basement. From the time I first saw the lights to the point I let my dog inside over 2 hours had lapsed and none of u! s have any clue how.

Around 8:15 P.M. on February 24, 2021 I was in my backyard working on a project when a light caught my attention from the corner of my eye. It was east of me a few miles away about 30 degrees above the horizon. It would have been between the towns of Maysville, Paoli and Pauls Valley. At first I thought it was either a helicopter or low flying plane, as I see them quite a bit in the area, but I immediately became interested because it was moving much faster than any night time craft I usually see. The light was white and oval shaped with no other blinking aircraft lights or meteor trail behind it. It was moving south at a high rate of speed and faded out entirely after 3 or 4 seconds. It was much too low in altitude and slow to be a meteor and it wasn't descending or flickering/leaving a trail of any kind. The light was steady and bright until it faded out. There was no sound and the night was completely silent. I am an avid sky watcher and can identify sate! llites, geo-stationary satellites, I.S.S., space junk, iridium flares, meteors, and craft, and it did not appear to be any of those.

Getting out of my vehicle in the driveway, I looked up to the sky to see really high up, as in rocket height, 4-5 silver specs flying at a great speed in formation. I have witnessed Blue Angel and Thunderbird air shows. It wasn't them as I looked up fly overs for both of them. They were flying so fast I knew I didn't have time to grab binoculars to try and focus on what they were. It was a clear blue sky..no clouds. No sound coming from them, no trails left behind them. They were so high up beyond what normal planes fly, that you would have needed binoculars or telescope to see what it possibly could have been, especially at the rate of speed they were flying. Also flew with constant shifting of formation - quick maneuvering shifting the whole time while in formation. One wouldn't go way out and come back in that formation...they were in formation moving around. I couldn't see any lights, because of the distance, plus it was daylight. I enjoy aeronau! tics, and this was the 1st time I ever saw anything I didn't really know what it was flying over at a great speed. It was so far up, that my camera would have only picked up specs in the sky, it wouldn't have shown anything substantial. Maybe our military has something in the works and they were practicing something...I don't know. I never saw anything of the sort flying that high with that speed.

My wife and I were in our backyard with our two toddlers, and my wife saw something in the sky at approximately 4:10pm eastern time. She told me there was a white light moving across the sky and asked if I could see it. I didn't see it at that time. Then she began to record on her phone, and that's when I focused on the sky and saw the object as well. We saw two white objects moving across the sky very quickly, and only one was caught on video. Our first video she was trying to capture the first object, and she didn't get it on camera, however the second object appears in the lower right corner of the frame. She noticed it and began recording again, and caught the second object moving and then disappearing into the sky. We really thought nothing of it at first, but then around 2 or 3 minutes later a military jet zoomed past in the same direction the objects went. We watched the videos together later on after our babies were in bed, and we realized it was so! mething out of the ordinary. I paused the first video when the object appeared in the lower corner, and I zoomed in and took a screenshot of the object. It appears to be a saucer shaped object, and we believe it to be a ufo.

In or around February 24th, 2021 at approximately 1330 we were flying a training mission in a U.S. Navy C-2 greyhound flying at approx 10,000’ MSL at N37.00W076.00 on a rough heading of 360 magnetic right at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay at approx 250 KIAS when a bright white flying object appeared in front of the airplane almost co-altitude. It was white as if it was radiating light and headed right toward our airplane at speeds unimaginable. Within 3-5 seconds it had passed just under our plane and I thought we would collide with the object but the pinpoint precision allowed it to fly head-on just below the belly of our plane. I doubt this was a UAV as the size and speed was not conducive to any I possess knowledge of. The encounter gave me the chills and I had a weird feeling in my stomach afterwards as we continued our flight. Both the other pilot and I recalled the encounter and pondered reporting it to the UAP reporting program which had recently been discussed after the F-18s in our area had sighted UAP’s recently but we did not decide to report the encounter at that time.

Around 5:30 am, I saw a shimmering light hovering in the early morning sky. Earlier this month, I witnessed the same shimmering, hovering light behaving the exact same way, in a different location near my neighborhood. The light orb glittered and would starburst so bright it almost appeared to change shape. It was a swirling ball of white and orange. i watched it through the trees for about 5 minutes until I walked further into the road to get a better look. I lost sight of it, and upon returning to my original vantage point, it had disappeared. (within 30 seconds) The light I saw earlier this month appeared to be above a swampy pond. This time, based on my positioning, I surmise it was hovering very low above Oneida Lake, a large body of water roughly 2 miles from where i live.

About seven thirty last night, I was just walking around in the backyard, just listening to headphones and taking a mom minute. I noticed a little red dot at a very,very high elevation. We are in the descent path going south into sky harbor airport, about 25 miles out and this was not a normal plane. It hovered for a minute then quickly headed straight south. It suddenly dropped straight down and disappeared about halfway down.

My bedroom is where I can easily see the moon. Before I went to bed around 11:40 pm, I noticed the moon was high in the sky and very bright. (Just a ritual of mine to look for the moon before closing my bedroom curtains up on the 22nd floor. There was nothing unususl about the moon: bright white, where it should be at that time of night, etc. I went to bed. At 4:20 a.m., I was awake because my spouse was snoring loudly. As well, Finnegan (my cat) was being very loud, knocking some things over loudly outside our bedroom, near the living room. I felt angry with my spouse (who had been intending to get his CPAP machine, but had been neglecting it), and I was annoyed with my cat, who was acting so strange and being even clumsier than he usually is. I just got right up, to feed the cat (again), hoping this would calm Finnegan down some—and also to sleep on the chaise lounge in the family room (away from snoring husband). Because he'd not picked up his CPAP machine, I was rather accustomed to sleeping in the other room: I'd arranged a tall room divider around the chaise lounge to block out the early-morning light when I'd retreat there to sleep there once every two or three nights. My husband had moved the room divider that day, & I noticed it would not block the sun from the closest window when it rose in just a couple hours. As I looked over at the window to confirm this, before repositioning the room divider, I was very confused because at first, it seemed there was almost a large harvest moon (though not perfectly round & higher in the sky—and impossible, as I'd seen the normal moon earlier, and the moon NEVER is seem in that direction/area.) This glowing, orange orb was in the distance adjacent (just to the right of) the top of one of those red-lit (radio?) towers. I walked to the window and couldn't believe my eyes. Then, I grabbed my iPad to take a picture of it through the window. As I snapped a couple pictures, I imagined showing my older son and my spouse the next day and them saying, "Must have been a reflection or something." So, I walked to our large balcony on the 22nd floor to capture it on my device. Right before I stepped outside, I became afraid/spooked and thought, "Am I really going to step out here in the dark with no cars or anyone, anywhere—with this inexplicable orb out there?! What a perfect opportunity to be freaking abducted!" So, I just opened the door a bit to get the picture— didn't step out at first.. Once I'd opened the door, though, my fear mostly disappeared, and I simply stepped right out, I just felt a sense of awe, and a sort of happiness about the amazing nature of our universe. (I'm not a sky watcher or anything—and trips to, say, planetariums don't really interest me much, and I just find all the stuff about just regular SPACE spooky, so that whole "amazement-instead-of-fear. thing was a bit odd.) I stood outside far longer then I'd intended, just captivated by this orb. My *expected* "normal" reaction to such a thing would be: sustained fear, running to wake my spouse and kids to see this thing, taking some melatonin to calm my anxiety, etc. But so strangely, I just suddenly felt so calm & SLEEPY [moments before, I assumed it'd take me an hour to get to sleep because I was so angry that my spouse didn't care enough about my ability to sleep to get his freaking CPAP, and I was irritated with my bizarrely nutty cat. So, the sudden calm, sleepiness thing doesn't make ANY sense. Have you ever have surgery, and you're nervous, and the anesthesiologist tells you everything will be totally fine and says, "Count backward from 10," and right when you get to 9 or 8, you feel SO (thankfully) calm and relaxed? It was sort of like that, but more protracted. Anyhow, the orb seemed to change very subtly in position and appearance, but not in any odd or even really perceptible/obvious way. It mostly seemed to hover and emit a lovely, peaceful orange glow. It didn't fall or descend swiftly, or ascend while I was observing. I remember thinking, before I went back inside to sleep immediately, on the lounge-thing, "Whoever's in that thing or controlling it from afar—they're just interested in what's going on here. And it was nice they waited until there's usually not a person awake to get panicked—they're not bothering anyone at all." It didn't seem strange to me at the time that I was so chilled out. [By the way, I do not drink [a glass of wine makes me nauseated] or use any intoxicating substances—never been one to crave it. As well, I do not have visual hallucinations or vision problems. Plus, I'd always been very skeptical about reports of UFOs & non-human-animal sentient life forms, etc.] Anyway, I was so sleepy by the time I started to walk in that, when I got to the balcony door, I turned to take one last picture, but as I was closing the balcony door, I noticed the last "picture" wasn't a picture–I'd accidentally pushed the "video" button—NO CLUE WHY I DID NOT *INTENTIONALLY* TAKE A VIDEO—just this quick, accidental video. No clue why I didn't stay around until the thing disappeared, videotaping the entire time. So, my sudden calm sleepiness actually, later, I interpreted as influenced somehow by the orb or sentient beings associated with it. This is especially the case, as well because I never have "happy dreams at night." Now and then I have bad dreams/nightmares, but I couldn't recall the last time I had a happy dream. When I immediately fell asleep back inside, the entire time I slept I had the happiest dream I can recall. It was simple: o being out with some very fun/funny friends, just hanging out, having a great time. laughing a lot. Another extremely strange thing about this is that after I woke, I didn't even RECALL the orb or ANYTHING the ENTIRE DAY. The following night, I did my usual, normal thing of looking out at the phase of the moon before bed. THEN, I suddenly remembered, grabbed my iPad, showed the pictures to my spouse, who (a scientist) said, "That is amazing! That CAN'T be anything from this world at this time." He usually can't stay awake past midnight, but he stayed awake a long time, urging me to report this, etc. I called, on (I think) the night of February 23, 2021 [late at night] the hotline associated with this site. A nice gentleman answered. I apologized for calling late—I thought I'd get voice mail. He was very interested and asked me to send the pictures and video I took, to him via email, which I did, I also included a written description of all this in my email because, for at least two nights, the site's form section was down. Tonight, I found the site again but saw my emailed report had not been posted, so I'm just posting it now. All my immediate family members have looked at the pictures and short video and have agreed that this thing isn't and "normal"or "Earthly." My older son was HIGHLY spooked out by it, as he sees the area right from his main bedroom window and just cannot think of any explanation (though he would have been said, "Mama, you're just crazy sometimes," had I not taken the pictures, etc,). He avoids discussion of anything about it, but he doesn't worry actively. My younger kiddo is really fascinated. This all occurred on the eve of a difficult birthday for me. *On* my birthday, February 24, I looked at Youtube with my younger son to see if others had reported (& taken better video) of such orbs–they had! And one of the very first comments I read was from a guy who explained he saw basically what I saw, *also on the eve of HIS birthday, and that he had the same thoughts and feelings I did!* EVERY NIGHT since, I've checked outside, hoping to again see this beautiful orb. It hasn't returned. My birthday is approaching again, so I got a new tripod and set up my telescope, just in case whoever or whatever is responsible for the orb is back in my area at that time of year. By the way, to verify this, I want to point out that I did publiclybask community members on an Arlington

On February 23, 2021 my son and I were out on our back deck at about 7:00 p.m. (PST). We were looking to the north east and the sun had been down for about an hour or so. It was relatively clear out. The temperature was a comfortable sixty degrees. We wore light jackets. We had been fooping around and my son looked up to the sky. He saw an odd looking cloud in the sky. He asked “is it just me, or does it look like something from another world just crashed?”. The cloud extended clear from the eastern horizon nearly to the western horizon. It was shaped like icing squeezed from a piping bag across a dark blue cake. We wanted to take pictures of the odd looking cloud so I got out my phone to take a picture. (Pictures sent to the email in the website). Then, my son saw a bright object appear but did not see where it came from. Then my son saw the object make a straight path downward, then make a u-turn back up. I didn’t notice this while it occurred and while I was taking the photographs. My son also saw it change shape from a helicopter shape to a bright oval, and then speed away and appeared to change into a bird.

I like to watch the sky; star gaze. This morning I saw a group of lights, about 50-60, flying in formation at about 5:50. They were a dull white color, not real bright. At first I thought it was a flock of birds, but I'm sure it wasn't. First, they moved much too fast for birds. They maintained perfect alignment, although there was some irregularity in their spacing from each other. I only saw them for about 5 seconds or less. It was too early for flocks of birds to be flying, as it was still dark and just starting to lighten. I've seen hundreds of meteors, these were too dull and slow to be those. And, they were all the same size and shape. There was no noise, and no indication of flapping, or any slight change in distance from one another, as you see with birds. They could've all been attached to one object, but I got the impression they were separate, but moving together in unison. It was a little bit similar to photos I've seen of the Lubbock lights, ! but not in such a perfect grid shape; more irregular spacing. Whatever it was, it was unusual and special.

Approximate 6:55 pm, while driving northbound on Westgate Blvd from Davis Rd, my family and I saw a red/orange flaming large object in night sky floating/hovering slowly from east to the west direction. It was hovering rather low, and we were able tell it was not a plane. I stopped the car on a median by Bryonhall Dr. The object was clearly parallel to our left side. I had the windows down and the moon roof open. We noticed the object was flame like in structure, it then slowly turned slightly southbound and appeared to be rotating then disappeared. We tried to take video and pictures with our cellphones, but it images are not clear.
