Norwalk, CT
At approximately 3:45 AM on December 26th 2020 I had arose early and was having coffee at my desk when I noticed a triangular shaped object moving from west to east in a very slow manner. While moving across the sky there were white and red lights that would blink on and off. There was no sound and there were no other aircraft that I could see in the area. There were no obstructions and the object was clearly visible and was definitely triangular in shape.

Temple City, CA
Two reddish orange glowing lights hovered approx 200-300 hundred feet apart from each other. I was facing north on Temple City Blvd north of Las Tunas Drive, Temple City when I saw this. They floated about a third ways above the horizon. These lights slowly moved west, the one to my right moved a little faster than the one to my left. The one to my right faded away before the one to my left. It was like the one on my left was floating over El Monte and the other over Rosemead, Ca. Round slow pulsating lights, yellow centers red outer solid lights. Each color pulsates separately. Equal in and size. Like street light sized but high in the sky. I was driving when I saw this and at 1st I thought it was a meteor but they didn’t move quickly or fade and streak like a meteor does. Thank you MH Temple City Ca

Hyden, KY
Around 23:00-00:00 on December 25th 2020 the Leslie county 911 center reported sightings of a bright red orb traveling north to south over the area. They reported they had received several calls and dispatched sheriff department officers to investigate. The exact dispatch was “red orb of light steady shining and traveling at a high rate of speed slowing down and hovering over homes traveling north to south” no updates were made over public communications or scanners that were legible.

Long Island, NY
We were driving down the Long Island Expressway still in Nassau County driving East into Suffolk County, and half joking/half confused, my husband said look it’s a UFO. I looked up, and I start shaking I have never in my life seen something so enormous & clear. It looked like it was out of a movie, it took me a while to start taking because I was so nervous, so the camera footage is when we had moved some distance away. It was foggy & windy, but so clearly the shape was an upper circular dome and a lower circular dome then a huge flat circular disk around it. There was lights around the entire disk and then a bright one on the top of the upper dome. The bottom dome had a red light that was explosive & twice the bottom seemed to explode with red light and a strong fat light beam would shoot from the bottom then suck itself back in. Almost like a huge smoke cloud explosion that shoots in a straight beam then back in as if someone was rewinding it back in. It’s! so hard to explain. And it traveled very level with me the whole time I taped and eventually we kept driving it drifted into the fog. The shape, size, light activity, structure, beam are nothing I have ever seen in my entire lift!!! The ufo shape & beam are very clearly seen in the beginning of the video and half a second after the 12 second mark, the entire thing explodes with light and the whole structure can be seen.

Santa Fe, NM
Large flash through sky, exact point of origin unknown, approximate to south side of town. Flash was quick and indescribable, light projected caused a weird sensation to skin and irritation to eyes. Flash seemed almost like the “ neuralyzer” from movie MIB as crazy as that sounds it’s the best way I can explain it. Nonetheless it was strange and unworldly.

San Pedro, CA
Outside of my window on Christmas day (from second story apartment), I had a strange feeling to look outside and so I did. I noticed immediately a strange ball of lights that changed various colors about 40 feet from my bedroom window it was almost so close, enough for me to see it's round sphere like shape. I know it noticed me because it flew so fast that I just grabbed my phone to record. Almost a full 45 minutes it was in the area going from one spot to another and then disappearing and the crazy thing is know it was a UFO. I know there are no man made space craft that when going invisible, turn the color Burgundy. I have many pieces of video footage from close up zoomed in video footage of it and am hesitant to upload on social media. The colors it changed was beautiful. While everyone was at home and enjoying Christmas, I was recording something super cool!!!

It looked like a stationary firework display/like a patterned ball. But not moving or arc-ing. I thought someone had put up some sort of display on a tower but there is no tower over there. I ran in for the phone/camera. Then the huge ball that was like a frozen firework started moving up, then forward, this direction. I kept trying to get photo but it wasn’t happening. Then it was 3 round lights, 3-D, like almost a plane formation with port and starboard but also front , triangular like a plane, but still these round patterned globes it got closer, lower, no noise until a very low bass hum, not like an engine. Impossibly low in sky. Still these round 3-D static firework-like globes. Then past where I could see. Nothing wrong with my eyes/I kept looking to see if there were auras around street lights. Nothing. Freaked. Heart-pounding experience.

Marshall, MI
In the Eastern sky, we saw a cluster of orange orbs/circles. They were pumpkin orange in color and sporadically placed in the sky, miles apart. Each one moved from the South East sky towards the North East sky where they eventually disappeared. What really caught our eye was how fast they moved. They looked quite a distance away - almost like it could possibly be a plane or satellite, but they were moving much faster than any aircraft could possibly move. Our next guess was potentially Chinese lanterns that must have been closer than we realized (the sky was dark and partially cloudy). However, the air was extremely wet and rainy, and we don't believe the fire inside the lanterns could have withstood the wet, breezy, and cloudy air without faltering. My father, a very logical and reasonable man was the one who first saw them and called my mom and I outside to see them after he had let our dog outside. My mom just rolled her eyes and went back inside, but my dad and I stood there watching until they just disappeared. We've been researching and trying to deduce what the lights could be and the closest thing that we can find to what we saw are other UFO reports, which led us here.

Canon City, CO
My father in-law noticed a round like object, looked like it was just sitting still in the sky, then he noticed the jets and looked back at the object but it was gone. Same day, just a few minutes later I noticed the Jets in the shy first, a lot of planes heading in the same direction. Then I looked to my right above the hills in the distance, I could see this oval shape it was in the sky, not moving. I ran to get my camera but as soon as I returned it was gone.

Aurora, IL
Around 1:16 A.M., I was heading west down Montgomery Rd., just passing Middleburry Dr. The sky was dark and cloudy; the clouds themselves were low. Just above the clouds, I noticed a glowing orb/light traveling east towards my car. With no one behind me, I decided to slow down so that I could get a better look. The object itself was low enough that the light emitting from it was peeking through, almost like a flashlight under a blanket. It maintained a slow but constant speed for about 3-5 seconds, then accelerated into a rapid zig-zag pattern before shooting off into the distance and disappearing almost instantly. I’ve lived in this city for 22 years and I’ve never seen anything like this. It’s common to see commercial airliners flying in this area, however the rapid zig-zag patterns and the speed transition I witnessed are absolutely impossible to replicate with any aircraft of that size. The object was also significantly smaller and flying at a much lower altitude.

New Bern, NC
I had stepped out of my back door onto my porch, when I went to the steps I looked out past my tree and saw 3 very bright lights horizontally in a row over towards town. They looked like work lights, but they were way to high to be work lights. They were not very high above the trees and when I saw them, they did not appear to be moving. It was very cold and for what ever reason It did not occur to me they might not be of this world, until I read the report from Fort Bragg, and these were exactly what they described. I wish I had gone back out with my camera, maybe next time.

Two of us were traveling down the east side of Cache Creek Rd at 7:30 pm on 12/23/2020. It was dark but the sky was clear and there was a half moon. As the car rounded a curve, straight ahead of us we saw a sphere-shaped object flying south. The craft appeared fairly large (judging by the distance) but because of the mountain and trees it was only visible for a few seconds. It was a very light luminous blue and looked to be solid in color, i.e. no visible lights, etc. This is the second sphere-shaped craft I have seen on Cache Creek. The first was a few months ago on Owhi flats. This craft was red in color and hovering just above the mountain range to the south. I glanced over at the person driving to tell them to look at the light and when I looked back there was nothing. It had vanished.

Two lights seen in the south west evening sky. The lights moved in synchronized fashion. One light appeared to “drop” another light from it. Lights moved together then apart twice at evenly timed intervals. Lights would appear, disappear and appear in different location. Poor quality cell phone video was taken

I saw the object after the fact in a Live Photo I took. The object seems to bounce around in a figure 8 the movements and then burst off out of sight. From my vantage point it was the size of a large star. The object was growing green and seems to have an orb of light around it. When you zoom into the photo you can see the shape looks just like the saucers you tend to see in drawings of UFOs but sideways . If this wasn’t a Live Photo, I would have just thought it was a light but it moves so strangely.

A light apparition appeared out of no where in the sky at about plane level. The object looked to be almost a shooting star, yet undoubtedly close. It didn’t come from behind us, as we saw the object suddenly become visible out of no where (in front of us) before flying off into the direction we were heading: East on Interstate 40. Speed was much too fast for any plane, drone, or shooting star, flying at Mach 1+ Speeds. We can confirm that it was not a plane flying out of and into clouds, as the sky is clear and stars are clear and visible. No shape of the aircraft could be seen- only a large, bright orb.

East Quogue, NY
I was about to go to bed when I noticed (through my bedroom skylight) a twinkling and color-changing light sort of hovering around, not moving too far in any direction; it was almost like it is swaying, more dramatically moving every now and then. It is flickering different colors, including blue, purple, red, greenish, and some in-betweens. I turned my light on and I could still see it. I wanted to make sure it wasn’t just a reflection of some holiday lights or something similar so I walked downstairs to my dining room and could still see it in the same spot at any given angle through our large bay window. I decided to wake my brother up and show him. He was obviously confused but still got up out of bed since it’s VERY much unlike me to say something along the lines of “hey I think I see a UFO or something” at 3 in the morning. He followed me to the dining room and was shocked when he saw it too. We decided to sit and watch it together and we’ve continued to do so for the past 20 minutes. He’s better than I am directionally and told me that it is in the southwest. It just keeps “hovering” around and what appears to be rotating in place. We were both super tired and honestly getting kind of freaked out so we just decided to go to bed (after watching for approx. 20 minutes)... and here I am typing this. I hope this information can be of some use. This is super bizarre to me as I’ve never really considered myself to be a person who cares about or believes in this sort of thing. The only thing convincing me right now that my brother and I aren’t both hallucinating is the fact that my dad once mentioned that he saw one while fishing in the middle of the night (like he does almost every night). I could still see it a few minutes ago (25ish minutes after noticing). I really need to go to bed so I went back upstairs and got in bed. I took my eye off it (could see through skylight) while typing this. I just now looked again and it is nowhere to be seen. Freaky. Just a little background: I am a 19 year old girl home from college for the holidays. To put it simply, I’m quite a “normal” young adult. My brother is 16 at the moment yet has always been extremely mature for his age. He is also quite “normal” and is the type who would typically dismiss this type of thing.
