White orb of light was hovering about 50 feet off the ground across the street from my house. It occasionally would around in different directions but never strayed too far from its spot.

Around 2am, a strange glowing object was directly west in a small portion of the sky that is visible from my bedroom window. It had multiple lights and was glowing, and didn’t move; I watched it for about half and hour until I fell asleep. It didn’t move like a drone or plane or anything else I’ve seen. That night I heard either a squirrel or raccoon or some other animal screaming repeatedly through the night. I thought it was fighting with another animal but I don’t know. The next Night, the object in the sky was gone.

My husband and 7yr old heard a noise outside. Upon going to back porch to check it out we witnessed what appeared to be a spaceship. Many objects, light likes just going in a circular motion. Overall shape of activity was like a diamond shape or a spinning type. The "objects" appeared in color of a light bulb and as they moved in a circular motion the center was dimmed but remained still. At some point we saw lights shoot outward like a light explosion but in a very organized fashion like a burst of water. The width of the shape formed by these lights/objects had to be at least 10ft wide and was about 1-2 blocks away from our home but due to the large size it seems as if it was right next door.

I was out with my new binoculars to look at the stars. I looked to the south and noticed something large, dark, and low altitude flying silently several miles away. The object had to be huge, larger than a jumbo jet. At first, I thought it was a huge flock of birds, which would have been strange at 9:30 PM, but it wasn't that. It looked brown/gray/black, not sure, but it just came so close to blending with the night sky that I wouldn't have noticed it if the night wasn't so bright and if it had not blotted out some stars as it passed. The shape is difficult to describe. I would say the primary portion of it was rectangular, but with protrusions at the top and bottom. It almost looked like the silhouette of a giant gun or key. I will submit an illustration by email. I caught it with my binoculars and tracked it as far as I could. It was going East to West, but as a I tracked it, it veered off to the north some distance away. At one point, I did notice some very dim lights, but I thought it may be reflections from early lights as it turned. The shape seemed different when it turned, but I don't know if it had to tilt to do that or what. At some point it was behind a house and I lost it.

Triangular object floated smoothly and silently over my backyard. It came from the North and kept going South. It looked like a V-Formation that birds fly in. Except the "birds" in this case I believe were actually lights. There were 3 on one side and 4 on the other and they were not super bright, in fact they were barely a lighter shade of illuminated gray than the night sky it self. The "lights" were kind of frosty/blurry looking. More a brighter shade of gray than yellow or white or red. They were not flashing. This thing floated effortlessly, and reminded me of how paper would be if it were floating, just really light and smooth.

I was on a walk with my dog and dad and about 100 yards in front of us a group of 7 UFOs flew for about 200 yards in 1/2 second😱only I saw this, as h was looking at a neighbors house. According to my calculations, that's a whopping 704k mph!!! AKA MACH 917.539825 thats faster than the speed of light, at Mach 847030.

My friend and I were walking our nightly speed walks. It was windy and very dark. We were talking and this object kept getting lower. It seemed very large, but we couldn’t make out exact details. It was not a plane. It had three main lights. One was blinking. We have very unclear video of it. The UFO hovered for a few seconds then moved. It moved rather slowly, but it was very low. It was quiet and nothing like we had ever heard. The best way to describe it is picture a slow boat like a pontoon. If the boat was turned on out of the water underneath an awning. But it was muffled and very deep in sound, but very quiet. It was not the wind. You cannot hear the sound in our video. I believe it had almost like a tubular rocket “nose, part,” but the shape was kind of a triangle. My friend and I paused our conversation. I said “I’m sorry, but what is that? I thought it was a plane, but...” she cut me off to agree and said “I have been wondering the same thing. Why is it hovering? Why is it so low? Why does it sound like that?” These were all questions I had so I knew I wasn’t imagining things. I apologize for not having more details. My friend and I didn’t know what to do. Our phones didn’t capture what we were seeing. We were so shocked we didn’t know what to do. We should have written our thoughts down at the moment.

Being November it was very dark. We were in the middle of town at a park. There was light pollution around us but we were still very able to see stars in the sky. Many of them. I was with my daughter, she was on a piece of playground equipment, I looked up to her from the ground as I was chasing her around the playground playing tag. It was a very very dark. As I stare up at her something flies out from behind her head, something up in the sky. I was immediately stupefied. From my perspective it appeared massive. From my perspective it appeared massive. Unreasonably large. Oppressively large. Stop you in your tracks dead large. Doesn’t belong in the sky large. All I could say to her was ‘Look..’ and I pointed. She turned around and I saw her body froze immediately when she saw it and was also stupefied. I was generally facing east and it was flying to the east by south east. I don’t know what it was. It’s speed, it’s absolute silence, it’s perceived massive! size weren’t the concerning or alarming part. The absolutely unsettling part about it was how it appeared, I don’t mean how it arrived, I mean how it looked. I will do my best to describe the shape but when you understand how it appears you’ll understand you are not able to see it’s shape. I am a grown man, I fought in three wars, i’ve seen horrible things... I have never witnessed something that froze me in my place. The appearance of this thing is terrifying. We left the park immediately, I called the police for god sake, and the Air Force Base. I am unable to determine if it was very large and very far away, or somewhat smaller and closer. Regardless, it was very fast and absolutely silent. It flew anywhere from 100 yards overhead to maybe half a kilometer. What was shocking about it was that you could not see it. It appeared to be so massive. This is difficult to describe but I will attempt to paint a clear picture. I couldn’t tell if it was a wing shape, or if it was like a bell on its side, or like the USPS logo. It was invisible but you could see it. Imagine looking up at the sky, seeing stars everywhere, now cut out the shape of some sort of wing-bell-wedge shape and move it across the sky. It had stars on its surface. Bright stars. It’s like there was a television in the sky with a camera behind it showing me the stars. As the television moves the camera shows the stars behind the television. But for whatever reason the television stopped working and the stars were frozen in place on the surface of whatever i! t was. Does that make sense? It was like it had moving camouflage but the camouflage stopped moving. It was so massive that its movement was absolutely apparent. It looked like someone took a photo of the sky, with stars, and wrapped it around an airplane. It was too close. It wasn’t an accident, it wasn’t like a crash or something. It was right where it wanted to be and it was moving right above us and headed to my right. It was totally silent. It wasn’t something like you see on television, it wasn’t a far away dot or a trash can floating two miles away. It was a car, a house, or a cruise ship sized object. It was so large that you almost could feel it’s movement, imagine looking up and seeing a blue whale flying over your head through the bottom of an aquarium. But it was invisible. You could see the stars through it but for some reason the stars on its surface froze or stopped moving and when they did it exposed the movement of this massive hulking monolithic vague shape of moving stars cruising just over head.

I saw two very different UFOs in the same night. This is the first of the sightings. I was watching the sunset and it was still very light outside. A very bright “star” appeared above the horizon above the sunset and appeared to sit motionless. I figured it was a star becoming visible, but I thought it was strange because it was so bright, it wasn't there before, and it was still very light outside. I pointed it out to my daughter and she saw it as well. I got some pics of the sunset, but noticed that the bright star had completely vanished.

Was on patio with son and saw what looked like a planet, even though it wasnt quite dark the moon and this object were visible. Couldn't tell if it was a ball of light or a round craft. It seemed to be hovering for 3 to for minutes and then took off slowly eventually disappearing.

While standing on my porch, a helicopter flew over my house and I didn’t pay attention to it until it came to a stop. It was hovering in one spot for a about 10 seconds when I started to focus on it. I noticed a bright white light above the helicopter which I thought was a star at first glance, but it suddenly got brighter and grew a little in size while at the same time it started to slowly move. After watching it slowly move and go from dim to bright for about 20 more seconds, it suddenly just dimmed out and disappeared. It looked to be at the same height that a passenger plane would fly at. The sky was blue as can be without a cloud in it. My question is if the helicopter saw it because, the only reason I noticed the star looking craft was because the helicopter came to a stop, which I have never seen a helicopter do while flying over in my area.

My boyfriend was driving me home because I had to be home for 9:45 and he missed the exit to my house so had to go off of the next one but it’s not rare for me to go that way in the dark, so we were almost at the next exit when we saw two rings made of circle lights rotating in opposite directions but obviously they were of 1 because they were almost rotating into eachother like gears(it was also HUGE, pretty close to the earth tbh), I thought maybe it was espn lights but there’s NO WAY then they started moving, I was unable to get a video it wouldn’t show up but I went on my phone after I got home and found out that a couple of my friends in plain like actually had gotten a video and they posted them on their Snapchat’s because it was so crazy, so me and my boyfriend saw it in plantsville, and my friends saw it in plainville over their houses going in a steady track, so that means it must be going somewhere because it’s obviously moving and moving pretty f! ast. I slid up on my friends stories asking them to send me the videos so that I can send them to you, it’s the craziest thing I have ever seen in my life.

3 people woke up to a loud noise at 3:30AM. We took time to find our glasses. We also took some time to lower the heat. We checked to see if the cats were okay. We looked around briefly to see where the noise was coming from. The sound was nothing that we could attribute to any normal day to day sound, but was most similar to the sound of a hovering camera or something of that sort. Except it was so incredibly loud that we all woke from our sleep because of it. It was so loud and bright that we opened the front door to go outside. Opening the front door, it was obvious that the sound was external because it increased in volume. Stepping out towards the sidewalk, we saw something circular and gun metal hovering. We froze for a second and then panicked and ran inside. Shut and locked the doors. The sound continued for a few more minutes. However, when we returned to the room the clock still said 3:30AM even though so many micro events seemed to have occurred d! uring that time.

A very fast and bright light was moving rapidly across the sky so I thought it was a shooting star.. then I noticed the light get brighter and stay still for 30 seconds when the light got even brighter and it zoomed across the sky, dimmed in brightness, turned red and disappeared. Best day ever

From my 2nd story bedroom window, my wife sees a craft hovering from the window. She stares for 30 seconds saying "what the..." before I get curious. She then tells me a craft us hovering in our soccer field 100 yards further than the back yard. We start taking pictures of the 3 lights showing the shape. A blinker like a air craft blinking red is in the center (which throws me off). Then as I switch phone to different setting for better picture, we witness the craft hover straight down onto the street that hangs above the soccer field goal. I freak out and don't want to stop staring ad it seems to sit there like a car, until other cars finally pass and confirm it is there. See run out back on our deck to take more pictures but it appeared to "morphe" into a car. Or it simply evaporated or disappeared on landing and was never there after touching down. This is the 3rd or 4th time (second with pics and video) so I wanted to write about it a! fter seeing the number of sightings in my area this year.

My wife woke up but could not move or speak but could see the outline of a woman in our room who telepathically told her that everything was going to be ok do not try to move. At the same time i remember waking up and not being able to move and not seeing my wife next to me but could see a bright red light outside of my window. When i woke up the next morning i was panicking to check on my wofe who was asleep next to me i woke her up and she immediately started telling me about her encounter. We found out my wife was pregnant later on that month after multiple miscarriages and to this day my wife believes that it was extraterrestrial intervention that allowed her to carry my son full term.

I walked outside about midnight and casually looked up in the sky. At that exact moment I saw what appeared to be an aircraft with no sound and no lights moving west to east. It’s terribly hard to explain exactly what it looked like, but the best description I can come up with is that it resembled a sting ray. It seemed low in the sky considering the amount of area it took up, but was completely silent and looked almost as if it had really dim lights illuminating the shape of the craft. It moved faster than a airplane, but slower than a shooting star. I called my 13 yr old son outside to tell him what I saw, and we then observed 10-12 more over the next hour and a half. They all moved about the same speed, but came from different directions and different altitudes. The weirdest thing was that they seem to appear directly after we would see a volley of shooting stars. My son said they looked like 4 stars moving together across the sky. The kicker is that they weren’t illuminated, but they seemed to be either reflecting light or they were glowing very faintly. Very strange.

I was on my phone in the backyard when my periferal vision I saw what I assumed to be a plane. It kept getting brighter so I looked at and realized that lights were circling the craft and not stationary as a plane would be as it hovered gradually along the freeway behind my house heading towards the nearby river. I witnessed rectangular panel that lit up individually encircling the craft. There were yellow border lights around the panels that lit up horizontally and vertically every three panels or so. . Above that there were what seemed to be observation windows. I just stood in awe as it silently approached. The next moment it was so close I could distinguish the separate panels around the craft till it finally went behind a palm tree. That's when it hit me i must take a picture. I snapped a few shots. At that moment my dad looked out the blinds and I yelled for him to come quickly and I told him,"That's not a plane. He replied,"Well no! it's not those lights are going around it.". I hadn't told him what I saw but he confirmed it .

A friend and I were standing in the parking lot of his apartment complex. Facing east we were remarking about a bright orange white Starlike object about 35 degrees off the horizon which we decided was probably the planet Mars. I then turn my attention to an object heading from the north headint south. It was flying kind of like an airplane but it did not have any blinking lights it just looked like a small white light sphere. It was luminescent but not particularly bright. Unfortunately my phone battery was dead otherwise I would have filmed it. But was almost beautiful in its simple elegance, like a polished pearl. It was siIent and produced no contrail. It was pretty high up and made very small adjustments to its trajectory but pretty much went in the same direction, north to south the whole time. It's speed seemed pretty constant and steady the whole time but may have slowed down slightly at times. I Wanted to report this sighting in case anyone else aro! und town saw it. Would be awesome if this could be corroborated by other witnesses. This friend and I have both seen UAP on other occasions and so we were not shocked or surprised by the presence of this orb.

I had my front door open because my house was really warm from having the oven on. I saw some super bright white lights flying in the airplane landing path towards DIA. I thought that it was a very odd airplane because the lights were so bright, so I decided to go outside to get a better look. As soon as I stepped out on the porch the object changed direction and started heading directly at me. There was NO sound at all. At that point, I could see two super bright white lights that were rectangular (sorta looked like house speakers from a stereo) on the nose of this object that strobed one at a time. I then noticed two red lights on the left and two green lights on the right. I thought that they were lights on the wings, as I continued to believe that I was seeing an airplane. As the object got directly over me (about 1500 -2000 ft above), I could clearly see that it had the body of an airplane, but it had no wings! NONE! Both the red and green lights were g! one at this point, but there was a detached barrel-shaped object (Light gray in color-the same as the main object) flying close to the right side of the main object. Then all the sudden, a helicopter (I don't know if it was a news heli or a police heli, but it wasn't a military heli) flying west to east comes out of nowhere. It looked like the heli was going to crash into the main object. The helicopter flew underneath the main object, but then the helicopter stopped, turned around as if it were going to chase the objects. But after turning around for just a few seconds and getting a look at it, the helicopter immediately turned back around and started flying east again. Almost to say, "hey, let's get out of here!" I tried to keep watching the object, but once it went over the neighborhood houses, it flew out of my view. I thought about grabbing my phone to record it, but I knew it would have been gone by the time I came back out to film it, so I elected to just k! eep watching it instead.
