West Branch, MI
Watching for the Blue Moon on 08/29/23. Clear sky so I was star watching. I saw what I think was a satellite going South to North. It was in location of Big Dipper. Watching some dim Stars above the Big Dipper I noticed a Star flash. I watched this dot size object flash pure White. This object kept getting bigger. It looked like it was coming in from outer space. It did not come from N, S, E, or West. It came straight down from the Sky! It kept getting closer towards earth and it would Flash pure white. It would Flash about every 10-20 seconds as it got closer. It started looking rectangular & the Flash reminds me of a rocket slowing down its decent to Earth. As it got closer it was a rectangular object with a Real White Bright bottom that lit up the whole bottom of Object. I could not see the top of the object only the bottom. I could only see it when it flashed. The bottom was rectangular & the ends of the rectangle were on an angle tilted up from the bottom about 30 degrees. When it got closer to Earth it slowed down & went North of my location. No sound at all from such a big object. I've seen objects in the Skies above my property Before but nothing like this. I could relate this to anything I have ever seen in my life & I am 63! First time I could say it maybe an Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon! I see a lot of planes, Black Hawks, Chinook helicopters being fairly close to Grayling Military Base. This was a UFO!

Port Angeles, WA
The cube that appeared to have landed high in the mountain above IBC Church in port Angeles was immediately followed by huge spotlights scanning the mountainside. I smelled the smoke for about 2-3 minutes after I saw the object and there was lots of activity where it appeared to have landed. Lots of lights and despite the activity it was so quiet it was nerve wracking. I’m not one to believe in UFO sightings but I know what I saw and it wasn’t normal every day occurrence. I hope I’m not the only one who witnessed this.

While driving on US-50 eastbound, right at the end of Folsom City and before the sign of El Dorado County line, saw a very bright/white descend very fast from my right to left. As it got closer to surface, light faded and it appeared to travel towards Folsom Lake or Auburn area

east meadow, NY
While driving facing North, stopped at a red light on Coolidge drive in East Meadow. I was at the Hempstead Turnpike cross. The night was warm/clear and semi busy with foot and vehicle traffic. As the light changed I began to move, left turn, heading westbound on Hempstead Tpke. While driving I viewed an aerial, single, rectangular object, approx. 100 feet from the ground, maybe...50-100 feet long. I'd say it was a dark colored object. Four round bright white lights, equidistant to each other illuminated the bottom. Yet seemingly not enough to reach the ground. It appeared to be rectangular, but no moon visible/ I driving/ and the craft lights made it difficult to conclude a definitive shape. I say that because there was one red light visible, not blinking, on the west side as I proceeded slowly to drive under it. NO SOUND--- and cruising at seemingly a slow speed. Traveling from the Northwest to the Southeast. I frantically looked to the pedestrians and other drivers…Nobody seemed to notice. NOBODY. Through my mind I felt, helicopter?--No…Blimp?--No…No sound. I've worked many nights and it's nothing I've ever come across. Must be something I missed. You got me.

I live near an airport and like to watch the planes coming in and going out at night while letting my dogs out. Tonight I watched a plane ascend. There was a solid white orb that appeared a distance away from the air plane. Within just a few seconds, the orb changed directions and began following the plane at a high rate of speed. Once the orb got closer to the plane, it slowed down and kept a safe distance but continued to follow the plane until I could no longer see either.

Pulled off at flying j to point it out to my buddy, get out in the parkinglot and pointed at it.. my buddy see’s it too and then it started to move about 60 seconds later like it knew we saw it. From standing still to moving at a fair pace across the sky instantly, no chem trail and not sure about sound bc the truck is loud idling

I was walking north along Major Taylor Boulevard when I saw what looked like a very fast moving private jet (white sliver) It caught my eye and the more I looked, the odder it became. It wasn’t too far up in the sky, and at one point looked like two white balls/tic tacs flying in unison next to each other, and then again switched back to looking like a white sliver, the original shape which I thought looked like a private jet. I checked flight radar and there were no flights in the area at the time. Unfortunately, I only had the chance to take pictures and so there is no video. I also attached flight radar info to confirm it was not a private jet.

I’m very concerned as I e been seeing these crafts a lot over the past 3 years. Please advise and check all areas being reported. I do feel this is becoming a bit of a global I invasive issue. Once I got inside my home I locked all doors but heard voices. I’m hoping this is not a common theme lately as I’ve looked up the UFO reporting map and there’s usually well over a dozen over the U.S. [NUFORC annotation: Hoax - Possible]

I watched ufo for 4-5 minutes. When I got to Youngstown, exit 223, the ufo was on my left. I had to look out and up of my driver's side window. The ufo seemed about the size of a car or big propane cylinder. I did not see any propellers, wings, tail, or jet engines. It did not look like any type of balloon. UFO was light in color, maybe white or silver. The UFO never moved the whole time I watched it.

I was outside going to the bathroom before I leave for work and noticed a really bright star. I thought it was kind of shimmering/moving but really couldn’t tell for sure. I said to myself on my way back to my camper that if it’s still shimmering that I was going to grab my phone and start recording. It really starts moving around and blinked once, when I start recording, I held my phone as still as possible. I think the video speaks for itself. I’m a simple person, live simple, don’t have much. I don’t do social media and never been on Facebook etc. Not the kind of person that takes pictures or videos of things.

I was star gazing in clear moonless sky approximately 3:30 am on Tuesday, 09/26/2023, northeast corner of Oregon, when craft appeared before me (following visual disturbance of some type), a large red "V" was on its underside, estimate the object was less than 500 ft above me, flew off almost directly overhead, completely silent, as it passed I felt sensation of a smooth "wave" pass over me, then craft moved off towards south eastern Washington state and out of my visual range.

Myself and my passenger were heading north north just before midnight on 8/28/23 when to the left of our vehicle in sky we both caught glimpse of a metallic spherical orb. We were heading north on Dequindure Rd just before m59 expressway. We both afterwards discussed we thought it was a star or jet at first however as we spot it it jolted or maneuvered sharply and extremely fast up and than shot way in a straight line like a shooting star. It was like nothing we’ve seen and didn’t resemble a drone or normal aircraft. We discussed and were boggled by it for for next twenty minutes en route to our destination. The whole thing lasted seconds and happened so fast it and the way it moved up than shot away rapidly was not like anything we had visualized before.

I went outside to get some air, I looked up directly over my head and was watching a plane fly over and all of a sudden these 3 Disc shaped craft came flying up on the plane and seemed like they were chasing it, but when they got close, 2 of them kept going and one hung back and seemed to kind of circle the plane one time and then took off and caught back up with the other 2! They seemed like they were racing each other, they would drift towards each other and then separate! This all happened in less than 5 sec! I could easily identify the plane ! It had blinking lights on tale and wings, the other 3 did not to seem to have any lights at all, but were putting off some kind of glowing light! Could have been slightly still lit by the sun Maybe not real sure! I just know 100% what I saw, and they were not planes! Moving faster than anything I've ever seen, I have watched satellites fly over and I pretty much know there speed, these things were not satellites, I could tell they were or had been messing around with that plane! I really wish I could talk to the Pilots of that plane! They were so close to the plane, the Pilots had to have seen them go Screaming by! And I know these were not jets! Jets can't move the way these things were moving! That one that slowed down almost came to a complete stop and then changed directions several times circling that plane!

Key West, FL
I was riding a scooter back towards my hotel, after having dinner at the Hard Rock restaurant in Key West Florida. I was slowing down to approach a stop sign at the end of Caroline Street, at Whitehall Street. I did not have anything to drink that evening. Cloud cover was low over the entire island. I noticed a large, green light just above the cloud cover, moving very slowly in a North-West direction, towards the Navy Base on Key West. When the light got fairly close to the Navy Base, it abruptly changed course in a South-West direction and sped up to a near-subsonic speed, quickly disappearing over the horizon (behind trees and buildings). Immediately after it disappeared, at least 6 other people on the sidewalk along Caroline Street started exclaiming about the light and it's strange behavior, along with me. We all wondered about it for a while, then continued on our separate ways. During the entire experience, the UFO made absolutely no sounds - the abrupt change of course and speed did not appear to have any affect on the object.

Almost 2 years ago my husband and I moved to Texas County Missouri from the St Louis Illinois area. I knew immediately there was something different about my property, and a 13 acres that we lived on. I've always grown up in a haunted house my whole life a famously known haunted house but never had I had seen what I have seen since I've lived out here. I started seeing strange lights in the sky the beginning of Last Summer as well as my mother-in-law in all six of her children in our blended family. But nothing has been like the summer my husband's niece moved here from Florida the very beginning of Summer when I lost my 18 year old daughter she was murdered in Illinois she came to be with me and and help me get through things. She had never seen a UFO or a ghost but the summer she has. We have got to the point where we sit on the porch every single night it's our favorite thing to do we don't go out we're young still well I'm 40 and she's 31 but our favorite thing to do in the whole world right now is sit on my back porch and watch UFOs because they come every single night in all shapes and colors and sizes they form pyramid triangles in the skies a lot of times they look like they're coming out of a Mothership that we can't see because there's so many coming out we watched three of them form in the sky three big bright lights and then come together to the one in the middle as one I kept telling my husband about this he thought we were crazy he goes to bed quite a bit earlier than I do pretty much with the birds this whole summer he has thought his niece and I were actually crazy we kept telling him what we were seeing and I've noticed a pattern and I know exactly what's going to happen when it's going to happen every night just by watching every single night in my backyard this summer like I'm telling all my friends from Illinois and family that come out to see me and support me because of my loss what I sit and experience every night I don't think anybody really knew what they were getting theirselves into or what they ever thought they were going to see but in the last two weeks 22 people from Illinois have been out to my house and camped in my backyard and we have all sat in my backyard and watch them start and they'll go for hours and fly around my Skies. A total of 36 people this Summer that have come out to visit me have seen these lights in the sky and when I tell them what pattern it's going to go in that's exactly how it goes it's almost like they know I'm watching them too I just need somebody with amazing cameras and video that can come sit on my back porch and experience what we are experiencing out here in Texas County Missouri they say Piedmont Missouri is the hotspot for UFOs they have nothing on Licking Missouri last night my husband and I at 8:45 p.m. walked outside on our back porch and there was two of them in my backyard closer than they ever have been and brighter than they ever have been and then the show started shortly after that there's one that keeps coming back over the left field and it goes down into the woods I'm pretty sure they live in the woods we see them flying up all the time from the woods we've also seen a giant ball of light almost looked like the sun coming out of my woods and disappearing over our head until like another vortex I can't explain it it sounds crazy I just need to get the story out where I live there is no ambient light and a lot of strange things going on a lot of strange recordings that we've got of noises in our Woods that are not from this Earth trust me we googled everything we could but I have plenty of footage night visiting camera footage video videos on our phones from this whole summer as well as several witnesses thanks for reading my story and I hope to hear from you guys

Against a bright blue cloudless sky, saw white tube shaped thing/vehicle in the sky. Plane flew right by us to the left a few seconds after it disappeared which was a clear reminder that this thing was NOT AN AIRPLANE. Not a cloud. Unmistakable and remarkable. It was stationary in the sky above our neighborhood park, and stayed there for about a minute and then VANISHED. It looked so close I could see lines near the middle, and a darker area near the top of it. I have never seen anything like it in my life. Resembled the body of a submarine, very very close in shape and size, except bright white and no propellers or other visible exhaust or machinery to move it or allow it to stay stationary for such a long time.
