I was in the back parking lot when I noticed a bunch of what I thought were hot air balloons. When I got closer initially there were maybe two or three and as more came to developed into about maybe 10 to 20 and they were coming in waves. It won't let me attach pictures

Peru, IN
I am a 23 year old Father of 1 and stepfather of 1 with my lovely GF. My employment history is spotty, so in my free time I study greatly on medical uses of drugs, ufology and the registered close encounters, crimes/detective work and so forth. At the time of this incident I was returning from a friends house located 15-20minutes from where I live. At the time of this incident I was alone and seen no other drivers on the road. It gets dark very fast here in the winter but you could make out every single star and constellation with ease this night. No cloud. No tree lines as my hometown is surrounded by cornfields. I’m very familiar with planes, what they look like at night, and sound like due to living only a 20minute drive (max) from Grissom Air Force Base all my life. This was no plane or anything of human made origin. The singular object was very bright orange (with a hint of blue-ish white in the middle) ball of light that sat in the sky. I first noticed it after going from a 4-way stop. Half way through my drive home. I paid no attention at first, thinking it was someone flying a drone nearby or was just a bright star. I continued my drive and realized the object was keeping pace in front of me but was at a great distance away, easily 500-600ft away and had an elevation of around 8-10,000ft. I then slowed my speed 55mph to 30mph (no other cars around on the road) so I could get a better look at what I was seeing. The object then seemed to rotate, which I then seen the blue-ish white color in the middle. This is about 5-6minutes into seeing the object, time seemed like it was at standstill. I felt like I was being watched. I continue driving but keeping my eye on the object. After I got back up to 55mph and only a few minutes away from home, I seen the ball of light jolt itself to the r! ight of about 35ft. Stop. Jolt upwards of I’d say 50-100ft. The blue-ish white in the middle became slightly bright, then the object launched itself upwards and disappear, faster than I ever seen anything go in my life. No sound. No booms from the fast speeds. I finished my journey home and instantly told my Girlfriend about it. I grabbed our binoculars to try and see if I could locate the object and seen nothing but stars. To this day I am for certain I did not see a plane or human made craft, but something truly otherworldly.

Saint James, NY
I was picking up my son and when I got out of car saw something in sky looked like stars. I continued to look and started recording because they were moving. About 8 of them drifted into the clouds in the same spot and then more appeared. Not a sound ! Another cluster of about 4. They did some kind of scifi twisting and turning at extreme speeds not human in nature or that of an aircraft can perform. It was "crazy" looking then they stopped and all started moving again but not moving in unison just the twists were in unison. What was strange also is that when I pause the video when watching it over and over again I can see that the ones that have drifted almost unseen are also twisting and scifi like spinning at the same exact movements as the new ones that are beginning to drift up in the air. Then another 2 or 3 cluster appeared and then another 2 cluster appeared. When the shape of the objects which were all the same when they were not doing the! "scifi dance" I have been calling it they all had the same appearance. A glob of light and it looks like attached to the one glob 2 more smaller tiny globs attached to the larger one but NOT CONNECTED. Almost like 3 triangular like globs in one cluster which would equal 1 UFO. 20 UFOs in total. ALl difted up in the same exact direction into the sky but at different paces. ANother strange phenomenon from this same event is that it appeared at the end of the video that one straggler UFO was trying to catch up to the other UFOs it looked like a cute "baby" UFO like a child running after its mother and then when it caught up started floating with the others. ALmsot like some one or some thing inside these UFOs have "understanding" That is how I felt when watching the video in person and then over and again on my computer. Definitely NOTHING I HAVE EVER SEEN BEFORE. My ex husband was also looking at the sky when this was happening and making jokes ! but I am using myself as the only witness to this event becaus! e I have the video. My son is in front of the fence. DOgs were barking late at the night as if the dogs knew. Howling dogs from neighbors yard also in video.

Hyannis, NE
After picking up the electrical contractor, we were heading westbound along RT 2. I’d say that we were about 30 miles west of Hyannis. Local time was approximately 6:30 AM, just a little before sunrise. Ahead, somewhat ahead of the headlights, there was something straddling the middle of the highway, which I originally took to be wildlife. I was sure it had to be wildlife, only as we got closer it became apparent that this was a ball, a metallic gun metal gray ball. More of a half-dome shape, which sat on several legs. I couldn’t tell just how many legs because there were all these connecting rods that ran between the legs. So the ball, this half-dome sphere, it was at least 5’ around, and up near the top, maybe a quarter of the way down from the top, was a red light that ran from side to side. Not very big, more like a diode, it started on the left and ran to the right, then back toward the center, where it stopped, before going back to the left side. I slo! wed down, and that’s when this thing lifted up. The dome sat about 4’ off the ground, on the legs, and when the thing rose it drifted toward the left, as if it were caught in the wind. It continued like that, gaining altitude as it moved to the left, which was toward the south. There were three of us, one in the back of the cab, and then the contractor, who sat to my right, and we watched the thing as it took off like that, and after a moment the contractor said, “what the fuck.”

Baytown, TX
Unfortunately, this wasn’t even a sighting at the time, although once in Indiana I saw a UFO shoot up diagonally into the sky. They are fast. Very fast. I was looking through old pics on my phone the other day, and saw this extraordinary photo of- what could be- a UFO!! It was taken at 06:29am on Monday Feb 15th. Why so early? My husband & I are truck drivers and we were stuck in Houston, TX during a historical deep freeze. We had just woken up to a frigid 12° outside, and I snapped a few photos of the thick ice everywhere. Nobody could move all week. Highways were empty, stores closed, people froze to death:( What I cannot understand is why the first photo (sans light in the clouds) was taken at 06:22, and the photo WITH the light was timestamped 7 minutes later at 06:29. Also, I looked at the IMG numbers of the photo sequence on my phone, and there is a number missing in between these two photos, which means it was deleted. I have no memory of deleting that, nor taking the 2nd photo of the light and only NOW noticed this exciting (possible) encounter from last year!! Any help you can provide would be so greatly appreciated, and thank you NUFORC for everything you do!!

I witnessed a straight line of white lights almost directly above me. They were equally spaced...about 12-15 in a perfect line. The line moved slowly to the east. It was windstill yet there was no sound whatsoever. I watched them until they moved out of sight.

Malibu, CA
Last night between 830 and 930 pm, a blindingly bright clear white pulsing light was blasting through my bedroom window from a sharp (at least 45 degree) angle above the trees, in the exact direction (as the crow flies) from LA County Fire Department Camp 8. The direction was looking approximately 200 degrees south west. In all the 24 years I've lived here I've NEVER seen a light in that window from that direction. It hovered ABOVE the trees. My boyfriend and I stared at it for 30 mins, wondering: "is that the Fire Camp's helicopter?" "why isn't it moving?" "if it's emergency vehicle lights, why are they bright white with no red or amber?" The area is covered in at least 30 foot high oak trees and this light was above them. It appeared as large as if it were a helicopter less than a mile away, but blinding lights, not a single beam of a helicopter you'd see searching for something underneath. I fell asleep and by 10 pm it was gone. The light was pulsing and so clear bright, it blasted across the canyon to the other side (approximately 1.5 miles across). I called the Fire Camp 8 this morning and said: "I'm making a crazy lady call, were you doing helicopter training last night?" I told the captain what I saw and he said "no, the helicopter was not being used last night." He also told me that the fire captain in San Diego had a similar experience recently and everyone thought he was nuts, but there was no other source of light from a vehicle, plane, helicopter. I don't believe in conspiracy theory. I don't necessarily believe in Martians (but I suppose there must be life out there somewhere). What we saw made no sense. It was beyond odd.

Bremerton, WA
At approximately 19:25 on 2/14/2021, my wife and I witnessed a bright orange light traveling swiftly from the SE heading NW over East Bremerton, WA. I could not gauge the altitude or discern any shape, as the weather is currently cloudy/foggy. I also checked for known aircraft and nothing was registered in the airspace. I opened my window to hear for any engine sound and could not hear anything. I live south of Bangor and military craft fly over my house daily, but most craft have a discernible engine sound and this craft did not. Unfortunately I was so transfixed that I didn’t think to grab my phone to record the event.

Folsom, PA
At 6:57 pm est i video recorded two glowing fireballs flying @1600’ right behind one another, with constant speed 300mph right behind each other in the same pattern. Never changing altitude or course very straight in the flight pattern. We watched until they disappeared in the clouds i checked with my phones siri to check on flights above me and nothing was scheduled. As a drone pilot these made no noise and am very familiar with drones and flights of them. This was not two drone flying the same flight pattern and speed and direction impossible.

Yucca Valley, CA
February 14, 2021 5:30 am Yucca Valley, California I looked up in the sky and saw equally spaced lights that were continuously moving in a straight line. At first I thought it was a group of stars but these lights were evenly spaced, in a straight line and were slowly moving from right to left. The right side of the line was slightly higher than the left side-not parallel to the earth. From my perspective this appeared to me at a 45 degrees angle form where I was looking up – not as high in altitude as a transcontinental flight- there was no sound except for an alarm going off somewhere behind us. I woke up my partner to come see if she could see what I was seeing and she saw it too. We both observed these lights, both videoed the sky where the lights were, and both observed these lights (as a grouping) slowly leave, moving towards the Joshua Tree area until they were no longer visible. All of this lasted maybe 3-4 minutes. The video recording I took on my phone shows very little- only a single blinking light- if you would like it please email me and I can email it back- i just don't know how to adjust a filter that would show what i saw and I dont want to compromise the raw footage.

San Diego, CA
February 14, 2021 A little after 5 a.m. I was outside and looked up into the sky to see a row of slow moving lights, they seemed to be independent of one another and were not exactly lined up, some got closer to the one in front and then fell back into line (only slightly) and were traveling single file. I did not count them but I would say there were 15 or so, moving in an easterly direction, they were south of me and I can not say what elevation they were, though not nearly as far away as satellites are, more like the elevation of an airplane. Definitely not balloons as they were independently moving on their own power, and not part of a bigger craft. There was a single light the same color as the stars are. I watched them until they disappeared from view, the conditions were hazy over the coast, and they continued into the haze, but the sky above me was clear and that is why I saw them so clearly. I am in San Diego, on a point of land called point loma. There is a lot of military in this town and that could be what I saw, perhaps a fleet of drones being moved to north island naval air base.

Alliance, NE
Blinded, I drove the darn car off the road. Using my left hand, I attempted to shield myself. Raised the hand in front of my face, and could clearly see the bones, fingers, wrist, part of the forearm. So I hit the goddamn brake, and slid onto the shoulder. Only, before I could determine what was going on, the light, the most intense thing I’ve ever witnessed.... I mean just a total white-out, asphalt, trees, everything evaporated in front of me, and then the damn thing goes out. So I couldn’t get the gear into park fast enough, and then, using my left shoulder, pushed against the driver’s door, and managed to step from the car, and that’s when I looked up; and this was after dark, skies were cloudy, the temperature below zero, -11 Fahrenheit, and there is this goddamn ball, circular ball, and it’s five or six hundred feet in diameter. I suppose this thing was about nine hundred feet, hung up above me, like a Christmas ornament, and dark as night, in silhouette, and a couple of rows of lights, dim yellow lights, around the middle. As far as I could tell, it didn’t make a sound. Now I’m thinking that no one is going to believe me, but someone up there sure as hell is looking over the place.

Santa Barbara, CA
I was pacing around my front porch, on the phone with my cousin. It was about 7:30pm. She was talking to me about our aunt, as she's talking to me I stare up at the night sky and I see this really bright star to the left of our big sticky gum tree, which caught my attention. As she is talking I move over to my left to get a clear view and notice that the bright star that formed a small triangle with two other fainter looking stars. As my cousin is still talking to me, I'm staring at (what I thought was a constellation) the triangle of stars, the top star looked like it was moving. I then realize that all three stars that formed the small triangle were slowly moving downward. I then interrupted my cousin to explain what I was seeing, as I was talking to her the three star looking objects slowly faded out, with the brightest light that was on the left being the last to fade into nothing. After I hung up, I went on a skymap app I have on my phone, to try and map out where I saw the triangle of lights. The small triangle of lights looked like it was in a larger triangle of stars. Which I believe was, Y Uma (the point), Dubhe (bottom left), Merak (bottom right). I have never seen anything CLOSE to a UFO before. I'm still trying to rationalize this!

When my husband first noticed there were 12 or more lights in a formation. He called to me and I went to look there were about 10 when I got there then I grabbed my phone and videoed it. They slowly disappeared until they were all gone.

The object was to the right of the north star and it started moving slowly and then it picked up speed and then every 2 minutes sparks and dots came out and then it flew away out of sight. the abject was solid red with a green outline. then about 15 minutes later it the same abject appeared right out of nowhere AND THEN TWO CATS FROM INSIDE CAME TO THE WINDOW WHICH MEANS THEY MUST HAVE HEARD IT BUT THE OBJECT WAS SILENT. when IT CAME BACK IT WAS MUCH CLOSER THEN LAST TIME AND IT DID NOT MOVE AS MUCH AND IT WAS GOING LIKE THAT FOR ABOUT 8 MINUTES and then it just disappeared out of nowhere.

Berwick/Wells, ME
My husband and I were driving home from a shopping trip in NH. We were near the Berwick / Wells line and it was 6:30 PM. I looked in the sky to the right, I instantly said “what is that?” to my husband and pointed up at the three lights that were shaped in a triangle. It wasn’t moving or flying around, it was just floating there being really still, so I thought it was one of those metal tower things with the lights on top. But we go down this road a lot and it didn’t look familiar. I got a weird feeling and pulled off quick onto a side road then turned around. I wanted to go back down the road to see if it was still there and if I could get a better look at it. But we couldn’t see it anymore. I turned around again, the same way we were going in the first place. We looked in the same spot I first saw it, and it was gone. I was shocked. We continued to go home after that, and we did see something flying with lights kind of fast, but I’m not sure if it was a he! licopter or if it was what we saw. I’m still very creeped out by this because I knew that this thing wasn’t moving and that it didn’t look normal to me.

Paso Robles, CA
I was taking a smoke break in our backyard in rural eastern Paso Robles, early in the AM very near to 5:15 - about 40 minutes ago. Let me say at this point that this is my first DEFINITE UFO sighting. I have been vaguely interested in UFOs for their entertainment value, but I've always been darn skeptical of their existence. I always like to look at the stars in the morning. This was impossible to miss. In the East-Southeast sky almost directly overhead, there was a long line of "stars" moving in a slow manner. The Line was almost perfectly linear. Their brightness was appx. that of nearly the brightest star at this time of morning. They moved appx the same speed a satellite would, but they were clearly brighter than any satellite would appear this late in the morning. And somehow we could tell that they were nearer to earth than a moving satellite, although their altitude seemed very high. There was absolutely NO sound associated with them, and it was very quiet with zero traffic noise, etc. They moved from northwest to southeast, at constant speed. Once they got fairly near the horizon they disappeared one by one. I believe there is no moon or very little moon today, and there was no glow from the sun in the east (too early). I gotta say, this is my first Definite UFO sighting that can't be written off as something else. Unless the military has craft that can fly at such extreme altitude without noticeable sound, or there are "squadrons" of low earth satellites being produced. JUST INSANE ! I tried to film the line of moving objects with my wife's phone but I don't think it turned out.

Santa Paula, CA
Looking through my bedroom window, towards the North East, I saw a VERY bright light (brighter than any star I have ever seen) traveling South East, going very fast. It had a green light at the back. It flew lower than the jets on an often used flight path traveling between Santa Paula and Fillmore, California. It was shaped like a horizontal space shuttle. It kept disappearing and reappearing, rapidly. The sky was clear. It looked like it was one third the length of a jet.

This incident happened at Coronado Heights that is just off Winchester road which is the county line between McPherson and Saline County in Kansas. As the two young men arrived at the top of the hill, one saw a shooting star but it was very cloudy that night. Also there was a black mass was moving about on the hill in a northwest to southwest motion that was blocking out lights from below. When the young men got into the car, one of them shouted out that he noticed a UFO in the northwest sky. He could see what appeared to be glyphs on the underside of the craft, looking like a maze. Seven fiery craft came down and shot upward two times. The third time they came down the seven turned to one large craft and then split in two and vanished. The third time the craft changed was caught on camera.

Loveland, CO
On 2/12/21the 3 of us were on our way home. Noticed a bright flame in the sky. I was driving and noticed it first and pointed it out to my passengers. At first we thought it be could a meteorite coming down but it appeared to have directional control. We pulled over to observe the object. The passenger in the front passenger seat was the only one that could see the object because of how I was parked. They stated that the object shot straight up and disappeared in the clouds. We are in winter and that night there was cloud cover. The flame was bright and large. Looked cone shaped. We waited to see if it would reappear but it did not.
