NYC (Brooklyn), NY
The object I saw was clearly lower than air traffic in my area, and also moving in the opposite direction of the air traffic flow of my area. I was walking up the block, and as I was nearing the end of the block, and object moved over my head, and disappeared over the buildings. I moved up the block to get a better view, but there was nothing in the trajectory in which the object was moving. My best description of the object is that it was cylindrical, and had a light in front, with almost like a fog in front like it was passing through clouds. It's a pretty clear night, and it looked lower than the cloud line. I can't remember any blinking lights, but I do remember seeing a trail behind it, sort of like a shooting star. I can barely see anything in the sky in Brooklyn, and I've seen my fair share of shooting stars. It was too discernable to be one. I'm a pretty skeptical person, but after an hour of thinking about the event, I have no rational explanation for it, other than it being some new type of drone or something I've never seen before. It didn't move like your traditional consumer drone. There's also a missile launch tonight in Florida but this was way too close to the ground and too fast to be a missile, even if it was visible from New York.

My children and I were looking out into the night sky from our front door, when we noticed a large flying craft. It had an orange light/glow, and was flying unlike any aircraft that we know of. It would mostly fly upwards, sometimes sideways, and seemed a little jerky or erratic. It also had a beam of light coming down from it. It seemed to be searching for something. It made no sounds like how planes, helicopters, or drones make. The entire time it made no noise and was completely silent.Then after about a minute, it started to dematerialize slowly until it vanished completely while we watched. The night before, my daughter had been playing with a laser pointer and shining it into the sky.

My wife and I was driving home from Waynesboro MS when she noticed a round yellowish orange ball amongst all the stars. I then noticed it as well right before it disappeared abruptly and another popped up to the right for two or three seconds then also abruptly disappeared followed by another one showing up farther to the right all in a line. All three looked identical. We then continued to notice them later down the road two more times just behind the tree lines.

Looked up and saw a very bright light. It looked like a star that was about 200 yards away coming up from the ground area and moving up in the sky. Took out my phone and began recording. A second one appeared and they both disappeared behind the clouds. I'm having trouble dragging the video over.

Lake Worth, FL
Finishing walking dogs, 2 women who are both Registered Nurses and neighbors looked up to the east sky and noticed a white light that looked as if it was spraying water or ‘rooster tailing’ water from the left side of the light. One woman told the other that she didn’t want to get sprayed with anything. This object looked as if it was approx 5 miles away. The white light was not round but more vertically oval shaped. The light never was directly straight but more pointing to the area that looked like it was spraying or rooster tailing as in water skiing. I likened it to one of the light bulbs in the ceiling that is called an eye but the right side of the light was covered and the beam seemed directionally pointed to the left. The light looked as if it was heading west, in our direction but then suddenly disappeared. The only thing left of its location was a white cloud from the ‘rooster tail’ that was again off to the left of the light. The evening sun was setting in the west and it was a beautiful clear sky. There seemed to be a haze around this light and I asked the other woman if she thought there was fog up there but then we saw a plane flying above and behind this light that was not surrounded by 'fog'. It was very strange and both of us have never seen anything like this before.

United Airlines flight 301. White cylindrical object with rounded nose (like a tic tac..?), appeared as we started our descent to land. It had no discernible lights but very luminescent in the darkness, size bigger than our plane about twice. At first I thought it was a plane on fire or some kind of test for releasing water for fighting forest fires- but the haze kept growing. It moved across the sky with a swirling haze behind it (have pictures too) parallel to the ground towards the ocean. The event lasted for only a few minutes before it vanished above the water leaving the smoke/haze to disperse. Pilots couldn’t figure it out what it was, they called in but it was not like anything they seen before and we had a good laugh since it was such a surprise. Working as an engineer I assumed it was new technology, or a test- but it was an odd place. If it’s a new phenomena I would love to know what it was.

There was a very bright, round light with a headlight-type beam in front of it. It was moving towards a small cloud. We were looking for it to come out of the cloud, but it never exited the cloud. We watched for 5 minutes, but there was no more sighting of it at all. The bright light just vanished. It was in the Eastern sky while viewing from West Port Saint Lucie, FL.

The light got brighter and had a cloud forming around it that got larger and looked like it was twisting around the light. The light started to get smaller and then the cloud sort of disappeared and then reappeared and then was completely gone. My wife was walking my daughter on the other side of the complex and when she came back she stated she saw the same thing but in the opposite direction. Mine was toward the northeast and hers was in the southwest. A tiny light looking like a star went away once the cloud dissapeared.

Hagerstown, MD
I was sitting on my exterior deck and stargazing after nightfall, and began focusing on a particular section of the sky directly above my home. I began to notice what appeared to be a brighter-than-average white star at first begin to make short, halting movements. At first I assumed that I was seeing a satellite of some kind, but the light's movements seemed strange after continued viewing. The star-like spot of light would move from left to right, halt, then move downward from its position, halt again, and then appear to move towards another random position, or return to a previous position. It never moved across any considerable distance, and seemed to be making these movements within the same small grid-like area. As this was directly above my sitting position, I have no idea what altitude this light was at. I observed this movement for at least twenty minutes before returning inside, including the use of standard binoculars; I observed the same movement! s through that equipment as well, but was unable to make out any additional detail. I opted not to attempt to take photo or video via my phone due to the distance, inability to include any on-the-ground reference points, and poor resolution of my phone.

Lawtey, FL
We were driving down U.S. Route 301 headed from Tampa to Jacksonville when a large saucer crossed over the road in front of us headed from east to west. It was large enough that it took up the width of the entire four-lane road and median, and the ends of the saucer were both over the trees. It was 100 ft in the air, just above the tree line. It was a grey, round disk - almost like an upside-down frisbee. It was completely smooth on the bottom and dimly lit around the edges - not individual lights, but lit all the way around. It wasn't going very fast at all. It moved slowly and smoothly across the roadway. A few seconds after the disk crossed a helicopter followed it across the road. The helicopter was significantly smaller than the disk - a very small fraction of the size. Observers are two nurses - one male, and one female - both in our 50s. We turned down a sideroad to attempt to follow it, but we could not keep up. Our coordinates when we stopped drivin! g were 30.0813, -82.0747 on NW 251st Street.

I was walking and out of the corner of my eye I see these 3 red dots in the air. They were slow moving and no sound. They just disappeared. I walked down the street to feed some cats, came back and 2 were there again. Both disappeared after a time of like a minute. They were red, didn't show up well in the video.

Approximately 7:45am I was in my yard with my husband and son. My husband noticed an airplane flying near our home and followed by the airplane were 5 black circle shaped crafts that seemed to be floating through the sky together. They were moving at the same pace and traveling in the same direction slightly turning and disappearing into the clouds. It was a very cloudy sky. They made no noise and seemed to move slower than an airplane’s speed.

At 5:40 am on 2-8-2021 I exiting my residence facing east, I looked up into the Easterly sky thinking I was seeing a star lite sky after a recent snow event, actually realized within a few seconds the bright lights I was seeing were positioned below the upper cloud deck. The bright lights (between 10-12 est.) were all connected by a single strand of bright light as if they were pearls on a neckless. The lights were not positioned on the strand in equal distances, a few lights got brighter than others for just brief seconds in a random flashing sequence. All the lights then disappeared from front to rear into what seemed like heavy cloud cover as they moved East-North-East away from my viewing position.

There was a glowing orb about 500 ft away, at about 65 degrees to the East. It moved erratically left to right, forward and back then shot straight up at a very height speed. We did our research on Loon balloons, weather balloons, drones, etc. and none moved like this. My husband and I have almost 30 years each in the aviation business with some pilot training and my husband who shot the video was a forward air controller in the Air Force. Never seen anything like this. It was 20-30 ft in diameter. Car horns we’re going off when it happened. We have video and still shots. I don’t see here where to email our video and still pictures. I will email them if you like.

I watched it fly right over me while I was looking in the direction of Orion’s Belt. No blinking lights like a plane and was moving probably 50 times the speed at least. It crossed the entire sky in a straight line and went out of view in less than 20 seconds. I only saw it because there was a small cloud above it and it contrasted just enough to catch my eye. There was a single white light that was very faint and I’ve never seen anything move that fast.

It was a clear, very cold night. At first we thought it was a very fast moving airplane, until we watched it move in fast sporadic directions. The craft was silent, round/oval, appeared to somewhat change shapes, and colors. Red, yellow, orange, blue lights glowing in and out. We did not notice the other two craft zoom in and around the first craft until we played back the video. Yes, we caught this on a video camera on my iPhone. The video is 1:15 min in duration. After returning inside the camper, my phone and another persons phone nearby, were acting strange; screen jumping, not connecting. I was trying to find this site, phone wouldn’t connect. I then decided to call 911, which I called 2-3 times before it finally connected. I’d like to send in our video for you to look at.

One single flying object approached myself (a non local) and another local hunter immediately after leaving hunting stands in the dark around 17:00 while we were returning to ranch in UTV with lights on in 40,000 acre tract. Object approached very close with extremely bright white lights and hovered for some time without any hearable noise. We were startled at first wondering what it was and then stopped to watch the object as it approached. Once we stopped, it hovered nearby in silence with extreme bright white light lighting up the sky and ground. Other individual looked at object with binoculars and described it as triangular with three bright lights. I had already packed my binoculars and phone for the trip back to ranch in UTV and was unable to look closely or take pictures. All occurred in just a few minutes and when I attempted to unpack phone camera the object rose and moved directly south of us at a high rate of speed without any noise. Lights subse! quently went out and object disappeared. We were both stunned!

Tramonto, AZ
Around 7:00 PM Saturday evening 02-06-2021 I went with my father to the grocery store. We were driving westbound towards highway I-17 on Carefree HWY. I looked out the drivers side window which would be south and noticed I believe 5 orange fireball like unidentifiable objects. It immediately caught my eye and as we turned left at the intersection we witnessed them changing directions. Initially they appeared more vertical (although not straight lily vertical but more like a kite but still seemingly together) I noticed about 5 of them. I noticed 2-3 were moving in irregular fashion but still amongst the other and more “up/down” then fully circular. Best way to describe them would be out of position but together. As we turned left which is South several of the pack I would say 4/5 began to ascend and quickly. When we pulled over I got out of the vehicle to film briefly the 2nd video. The orange fireball seems to hover, probably for 20 seconds maybe 15, and then as it was out of eyesight range in less than 3 seconds likely 2 seconds. I have good eye sight I was able to track it for 1-2 seconds and then it’s as if it hit supersonic speed and was more far than the nearest stars and out of sight. It didn’t burn out, rather it moved so quickly I couldn’t see it almost darting away. The 4 orange “fireballs” ascended with similar speed but together and the last one stayed behind. I’ve seen hot air balloons before during the day, and the glow was very much like the fire you’d see that powers a hot air balloon but round - and all of them were similar size. It was a glowing fire not a constant orange but the glow was strong/very defined. My father retired from the aviation industry and I work in financial services. In Colorado I’ve witnessed similar orange glows which seemed to move across the sky at very high distances - similar to stars in size but I’ve never seen anything this close

My coworker and I were exiting a small pharmacy we worked at, we were talking for a couple of minutes, when I noticed an Oval shaped craft, about a thousand feet up. It seemed to have a silvery white skin, and it was just sitting there; when suddenly, the skin turned fuzzy, and started moving, like butter, up Northbound 270 pass Hwy 44. It moved effortlessly, super fast and zero sound. Crazy experience!
