Rome, NY

Very bright object in the shape of a cross. It does not look like it is moving, but if one was to see it an hour ago, and again now, one would see it did move up some within that time frame. It is very high in the sky, and from the ground it would be about a half inch big. I can not tell if it is making its own light, or if the light I am seeing on it is a reflection from the very bright moon we are having right now. I do not hear any noise from it. It has been in the sky for over an hour. Picture was taken from my front yard, with camera pointing north east. [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Probable]

Rome, NY

It moved ever so slowly up on an angle.I could still see it after about an hour. Then the sun was to bright to see it. I could not make what it look like. It was to far away, but it did have a very bright light. Just moving way to slow for of anything that I know of that would be up there. I was looking at it in the east sky from my garage over head door opening.

Independence, MO

Noticed glowing pink luminous object appear, disappear, then re-appear. Checked starlink schedule online, did not find any visible starlink matching the time and date. These were mostly stationary, sometimes a single point, sometimes two close points. Most stars visible, no discernable cloud cover or lightning. Trained weather spotter and drone operator. Spotted from ground while at work on night shift, completely sober. Minimal luminosity to intense luminosity over a span of 1 second, maintaining medium luminosity for 5-15 seconds, then returning to barely perceptible luminosity for ~15-30 seconds. Have spent many hours outdoor at this location and time over the past 5+ months and have not observed similar phenomena.

Indianapolis, IN

I was looking at the sky and asked my roommate to come look at the bright light in the sky above my neighbors house. At first I thought it was a drone but it was too big. The moon was south of this, the object was east. I took a picture but it was moving, so we took 2 videos of it. It almost danced in the sky. I held my phone still and the object appeared to come closer and had a swirl shape and it would drop out of the camera and then come right back up. It was bright white and had a yellowish bottom edge. We watched this for approximately 15 minutes until it disappeared. We went to bed and I had forgotten about it until later that afternoon.

One abit higher than the other. very very bright and then would slowly dim out to the point where you could not see them whatsoever together. It lasted maybe 5 minutes. It was hard to see while driving since the trees were in the way. Bright whitish lights. No flashing erratically or anything like that. They werent moving either. No way it was a plane or drone. I seen a couple planes go by very high in the sky flashing red etc. will try to get pictures next time.

Moving as fast as a shooting star, three orange orbs flew half way across the sky toward the northern horizon. Right above the horizon they stopped, faded away and the took turns fading back and going INTO the hills while dimming blueish white. This happen six times as if there were more than three. This happen from 1:56 am to 2:02 am than a single Large orange orb double the size faded IN and went up to the right diagonally. I went inside to get someone to confirm I am seeing this and show them and tell them to wait. From 2:06 am to 2:20 am me and him observed one at a time fade in orange and bright than dim out blueish while moving horizontally to the right while fading away. It is still ongoing as I make the report.

Wofford Heights, CA

The pictures will show a strange object in my driveway? One of the pictures shows a dock at the top of the screen. It disappears, and the screen goes black for a second or two then you see the moon come into focus in the circular orbit, spinning at high speed. Some of the pictures I had taken may have been a reflection from my iPhone, but these definitely were not. [NUFORC annotation: Camera Anomaly - Certain]

Hazel Park, MI

Went out to take pics of the blue moon and saw it hovering over I75. Switched to video mode. It appeared circular. I don't know how long it was there before I went outside. Within 30 seconds it slowly lowered down a short distance, then appeared to break into 2 and it disappeared. Not like flew away. Just disappeared. This is not the first time I've seen UFO's in the area. More like the 10th time in 6 years. But only the 2nd time I've seen a single craft. Usually 3 or more. Usually orb like in triangle formation.

Hamburg, PA

Was pointing out the constellations to my granddaughter when we noticed a craft come from behind the treeline. Thought it was a plane at first until it shot upwards leaving a small noctilucent trail positioning itself between Sagittarius and Scorpio. (NOTE..It wasn't Antares, that was already behind the treees from our LOS). I grabbed my phone to get a picture, but every time I tried to zoom in it moved. We all tried but weren't successful so we just watched. I grabbed my binoculars and that's when I noticed the diamond shape. It was spinning and giving off red, green, and white light. After about 10 minutes it faded out and was gone. This is the 5th time in 5 years that I've seen this type of craft.

Phoenix, AZ

The picture was taken by a friend of my brother's wife. The friend was taking a picture of the "blue moon" on or around August 30,2023. She did not notice the object when taking the picture, but noticed it later when checking out the picture of the full moon and flowers. My brother sent me the picture and I cropped it to see the object better. Honestly, I do not know what the object is. If it's a hoax, I'd like to know so I can pass it on to my brother.

My husband & I saw this object so clearly. We live by the airport, so this is very strange indeed! We were outside when I spotted 1 oddity in the sky. It was on Wednesday August 30 2023 at approximately 7 pm. I pointed & asked my husband if he could see the object? He said Yes! It was like a white chunky tic tac/capsule shape. It had many propellers around the center with a "sheer-like" quality. It was moving silently, at a fast pace. I ran to the end of our driveway, to try & capture pictures. I zoomed in & couldn't see it in my camera phone, it had disappeared. It was there one second & gone the next. Now we are watching the sky more often. My husband & I do not drink or do recreational drugs. It's fair to say, that we thought twice about reporting this, due to the possibility of ridicule. However after conversing, we felt it could be of importance. Thanks for your time.

Orange Beach, AL

A strange white cloud moving low and fast was spotted over ocean. It looked like a white school bus shaped object inside a cloud. It all moved as one. I grabbed my phone as it changed shape into a swirling pattern. Then the front became a reflective triangular object. The triangle shot off in the blink of an eye, leaving the cloud part behind. The cloud stopped moving, turned grayish, and slowly disappeared.

Was driving up Delores, about a quarter mile from Starhill Way in Spanish Springs when I spotted a low flying, highly reflective, silver disc come over there mountain ridge to the southwest. Kept eyes on for about a minute and a half. Looked down to call home as it was flying over my house and when I looked up it was gone. No wings or propellers. Very visible and low.

At 37000 ft. Over Missouri saw 3 to 4 lights rotating around each other. The lights would fade and dim. Tracked the sighting for 100s of miles. Also saw 2-3 shooting star like objects in the same vicinity. The rotating lights were east of the Big Dipper.
