The unidentified flying object glowed in the early morning lit up sky almost seethrough but very distinguishable, as if it glowed very similar to a jellyfish, There was an aura or haze around the object and hovered over the sky slowly then suddenly disappeared. As it moved towards the direction it was headed oval shape got smaller. It did not look like anything man made.

North Myrtle Beach, SC
I was on the balcony of my North Myrtle Beach SC oceanfront hotel room observing the constellation Orion in the northeastern sky when I saw 4 distinct orange orbs/spheres aligned within a haze/aura or opaque/cloudy background of a larger figure appear over the ocean. They eased through the sky and seemed to be approaching the beach when they quickly accelerated and darted to my left and their light was abruptly extinguished. A few minutes later, they abruptly appeared again over the ocean where they hovered then they seemed again to stream towards the beach before abruptly accelerating and turning and their light again was extinguished. Additionally, there was no sound emitted from the vehicle. I spent ten years in the Navy working in the special intelligence and cryptology communities (Naval Security Group/NSA) and I also spent 3 years at sea on an aircraft carrier, so I am very familiar with military aircraft and Navy ships/vessels. On another note, a week earlier from the same balcony, I saw and captured a poor image of a submarine on the surface near the horizon with what appeared to be a sub-tender and fishing trawler equipped with antenna array.

Tampa, FL
Around 8:15pm tonight as I approached and sat at a traffic light, I noticed a red fireball (a bright glowing but flickering red circular object) in the clear sky hovering overhead east of my position. I watched slowly moving in the sky without a clear path for several minutes as I drove. When sitting at the red light, an airplane began quickly approaching the object from the east. As the airplane neared the object, the fireball appeared to divert its path and began to move away heading southwest for roughly 10 seconds. When the airplane neared the fireball again, the fireball stopped glowing appearing to turn its lights off and it disappeared. I watched the object visibly disappear in the sky as there were no other objects that could possibly be obstructing my view of it. This is the second time I’ve seen what appears to be this object. The first time around the same time (roughly 8:15pm on Dec 10, 2020), I noticed the red glowing object above the tree line as I was getting out of my car close to area where today’s sighting occurred. Since it was so odd, I stopped and waited to watch it noticing that it was silent. The red glowing fireball was hovering above the tree line for several minutes. Again, another seemingly unrelated plane was flying towards the object. When the plane neared, the object drifted away horizontally from the plane and then appeared to fly downwards towards the tree line. I thought at first that I saw the object stop glowing, but after some thought I rationalized that it must have just disappeared behind the trees. After today’s sighting and watching the fireball stop glowing in plain sight, it lends credibility to the object dimming in my first sighting.

Stevens point, WI
Driving southbound on I-39 in Stevens Point we witnessed 6 circular large glowing lights that seemed relatively close. Two were to the left and were aligned and the other four were perfectly aligned horizontally. As they disappeared, the lights faded from the right to the left all within one minute.

Conway, SC
As I am driving east on Hwy 501 in Conway, SC towards Myrtle Beach, SC, 7:40 PM, a large formation of bright orb like balls formed a perfect elliptical shape. It rotated and maintained that shape while seeming to rotate along a perfect path. These orbs were about the distance of a low flying helicopter. Much too large to be drones. As it rotated, each orb disappeared one by one and it was gone.

I was taking my dog out to go potty when I glanced up at the sky to admire the constellation Orion and saw a small reddish light moving southwest. Due to its apparent altitude, I assumed it was the International Space Station, so I excitedly pulled up the stargazing app on my phone to confirm my suspicion. When the app failed to identify the light, I watched it until it disappeared over the treeline, trying to figure out what it was. After it vanished from sight, I took my dog into the backyard to do her business, and was surprised to see another light — this one much larger than the first, bright white, and moving northeast. I looked for the flashing red and green lights that would identify the light as a helicopter or airplane, but nothing. I also heard no sound. I pulled up my trusty stargazing app again to see if THIS was the ISS, but it was not. Thinking quickly, I pulled up the camera on my phone and filmed the light until it, too, vanished behind the! treeline. This second object was in view for maybe 30 seconds, and the whole encounter was maybe shortly over a minute. My dog did not respond to either object, but to be fair, she was busy.

Owingsville, KY
I am a reputable RN in the area. I have been sitting on this info for 2 years scared people would think I’m crazy. I was driving on 36 from Sharpsburg towards Owingsville on Jan 20, 2021 at 6 in the evening. The sky was already dark. About 3 miles outside Owingsville I notified a bright white orb straight ahead of me, that only grew larger and brighter as I drove toward town. At this point it wasn’t moving. The Orb light was as bright as the sun, with no illumination of surroundings. It was a giant bright light that didn’t light up any trees nor surroundings. Almost like a void. At the end of 36 it was right above me, I turned left going toward Erma’s towards salt lick. Right in the curve as you go down the hill, right above that little house that sits in the curve, the light was right above me, I also saw 2 additional lights to the right of the orb. In person I could see a green color, on video I could only catch the red color. It moved fast on a dime changed directions multiple times. In the video you can see I was driving, and was recording. I stopped in the middle of the hill to look up and record, but a car was coming and I was worried they would report me, as I was in a company vehicle I dropped my phone for a min so they couldn’t see what I was doing (embarrassed and nervous). They after they passed I put my camera back up to the sky, the orb was TINY now compared to how big it was when driving up on it. I couldn’t stop as I was on the clock and on a schedule. I have also saw at different time, super white or super shiny silver orbs above that same area, although I saw them from afar, from over in Peasticks area looking toward that hill between Erma’s and the gas station at bottom of hill. (It’s over the recreation area that bath co has). At those times they were reflecting sun off of orbs in the sky. They were so close the color of the sky you only noticed them when the bright sun reflected off of them. (Which leads me to believe maybe they are super shiny silver like a mirror). I had multiple sightings like this from 2015-2021. This is the only area I’ve ever seen them.

There was flying purplish grey orbs flying across the sky. There were no planes scheduled to fly that day. Me and my group of friends and a couple others saw it too. Animals were crazy and it made a loud screeching noise.

I was taking pictures of the Moon with my Samsung Galaxy s20 Ultra 5g phone. I had taken around 30 pictures, and was just about ready to go in the house, then decided to take a few more. I took three more, reviewed all of my photos and the next to the last one had this black thing in it. I enlarged it and was shocked to see this odd shaped ship thing in it hanging in the air under the Moon. It isn't in any other photo. I was taking Moon pictures from our backyard facing the Southeast. Shortly after I took the Moon and ufo photo, an airforce jet went over close to where I saw the ufo. I have a picture of it also.

Just came back in, witnessed 3 lights high in the sky around the 10 o'clock position. They did not appear to be moving, their were only 3, I know I had heard about people reporting satellites in the sky, but when I checked the web the ones they were reporting were a string, and according to the pictures there were a lot more than just three. That's the only reason I am reporting these. They did not appear to be moving at all. I had to come in, they may be gone now. I went back out, could barely make them out some lights clouds in the sky. Took a small movie and picked up other lights, they appear to be blinking, and possibly moving farther away. I checked the aircraft radar for the US and nothing was flying even close to my location.

Object was moving horizontally at a very fast speed and then made a 45 degree turn downward. The object did not descend downward like a shooting star and gradually turn. This objects unbelievable speed traveling horizontally and the direction of the object changing directions directly downward was something I will ever forget. Also the object remained lit, the color was of a bright glowing white orb. The object didn’t leave any trail behind it.

I was out walking my dog when I looked to the NW in the sky. At first, I thought it was a plane but it looked like there was a tail to it and I didn't see any of the usual lights like those of a plane. It was a cigar shaped craft. It also looked as if it was a deep golden color. It was moving straight across the sky. It was moving east towards the Denver airport so I just thought it had to be a plane. I live under the West flight pattern so I see planes a lot and something about this one just didn't sit right. It also didn't have the speed as if it was going to land or had taken off from the airport. It was moving much slower than the planes I'm used to seeing. I'm about 35 miles to the west of DIA. There also was a plane directly to the north of the craft, almost as if it was following the plane. Almost side by side and the craft was slightly to the southwest if I was to put myself in that plane. I glanced down for a split second and when I looked back up to look at the object, it was gone. I searched the sky for it but could not locate it. Maybe it was a meteor? Or even a falling star? Whatever it was had me baffled and wanting to report this.

Ft. Walton Beach, FL
On Tuesday 01/19/21 at approx 19:00 hours I was walking my dogs when I saw a strange light in the sky. It was stationary and hovering in one spot. It had colored lights that flashed. I then realized there were more and they appeared to form a circle over the area of Eglin Air Force Base. I have been here for four months and never seen this anomaly as I walked my dogs at night . It has been 1.5 hours since I first noticed them and they are still in position. As I’ve watched them I’ve realized that there are two different kinds. The major circle is formed with the larger ones with colored lights. However , there are some smaller ones that are white lights and could almost pass for stars. However their light constantly dims and brightens . As I was taking photos they would dim and be in some photos but not others .

Dallas/Irving, TX
We live in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Around 6:40pm on 1/19/21 my wife and I were driving South on 121 tollway around the I35E intersection. We are used to seeing planes coming in for a landing so seeing lights in the sky is normal. This was abnormal. It was overcast so visibly was lower. We saw 12-15 bright lights that appeared to stay in the same place for about 15-20 minutes as we drove 14 miles. They were not flashing and had no apparent tail lights we could tell. The lights remained bright as we drove even as our point of view changed.

Cantonment, FL
This craft had no exhaust or energy coming out of either end of it in order to move propel it in any direction. It was shaped like a teardrop and had glowing and flashing multi colored lights around it that were flashing around it. This was not a commercial airliner, helicopter, a drone, or a military jet. The craft knew what I was going to in my jeep before I did it. It was a profound feeling that I felt within me like it was communicating with me, in a sense. I’m still in shock from what I saw. I don’t have any video or pictures of it. I know what I saw. I will talk to anyone about this who is interested. My number is 850 723 3170. I also called the Pensacola Naval Air Station and reported it to the radar air traffic control dept. they took the report over the phone. Simon Hardy

Issaquah/Hobart, WA
Last night around midnight I saw 3 or 4 ribbons of light in the sky above Issaquah South of Issaquah. The lights seemed to be long in shape and going down words. I watched them for 5 minutes before they disappeared behind trees. Didn't seem to be UFO's but more like slow moving long lights. This area is popular for parasailing but not in the middle of the night AKA Tiger Mountain area. I would estimate they were 6 miles away from my location.

Glendale, AZ
On 1/18/21 at approx 23:15 hours in Glendale, AZ, I was driving home from work when I noticed a large object hovering in front of me toward the west, maybe near bell rd and the 101. The object was a few miles away but I could distinctly see the outline of the object because the sky behind it was much darker, whereas the UFO was more grayish looking. If was moving around in no particular pattern but it seemed to be moving relatively slowly as it was hovering. I continued to stare at it for about 15 seconds, during this time it did not have any lights on it, all I could see was the shape of the object, which was exactly like what all the stereotypical drawings of what flying saucers look like. It was like a disk shape at the bottom, and then a rounded ball shape towards the top. I know it sounds crazy, and I’m not usually any kind of conspiracy theorist, I don’t do drugs or drink. I work in law enforcement and was completely sober when I saw this, so it was no! t a hallucination. After about 15 seconds of seeing it with no lights on it, I saw it slowly begin to light up gradually into a yellowish shade, but only at the very bottom of the object. At first I told myself maybe it was just the moon, as it took kind of like a crescent shape from my perspective, however the moon was in a completely different area of the sky, and the crescent shape of the moon should have been facing another way if that was the case. I kept staring at it, the light was way too big to be any kind of plane or helicopter. Maybe 15 more seconds went by, and I watched the light slowly fade and dim. Not like the object had flown away... more like someone had turned off the light, and it slowly faded out. After the light turned off I was no longer able to see the outline of the object like I could before the light had come on. I think whatever it was turned off it’s light first and then decided to take off very quickly.
