bessemer, PA

We were outside in our hot tub, and the tub became illuminated. We look up and saw a rectangle object traveling to fast to be a typical aircraft. The whole episode probably lasted 4 seconds

A descending disc above the road. It was on its side and reflective and luminous. There was the disc and around it was a pulsating energy. My husband and I saw it while coming back from my sisters house on Maples Road facing East as it crossed above us in the air and looked like it was getting ready to land. The disc was flying across the road in a South direction. We only saw it for a few seconds. It was definitely not a falling star. The object appeared to be the size of a large house.

Cadillac, MI

craft hovered in the sky, hard to make clear of the shape because it was dark, though I think triangular. Had lights like a vehicle's headlights and a dim orange light on the side. May have been pyramid-shaped. We watched as it hovered, after about 20 seconds it completely vanished out of nowhere.

Julian, NC

One point of light moving from south to north causing a scattering of light effect similar to something entering the atmosphere at high speed (like a bullet entering water in slow motion) yet the night was clear and no other air craft presented this quality. The light then broke into two separate lights moving further away from each other with two more subsequent lights “breaking away” and moving in a N/NE direction.

Burke, VA

2 lights following each other at high speed. No blinking lights and no engine noise. They kept the same distance apart and went across the entire horizon in about 2 minutes in a straight line. Unable to discern the shapes, they just appeared as 2 single dots of light, similar to Mars which is our sky tonight.

Rockisland, IL

I seen what looked like a flock of birds flying but as it got closer it was perfect triangle with dim lit lights moving in unison. If it were a car on the ground I'd say it was moving about 40-50 mph. It made no sound at all. There was a helicopter off in the distance that you could hear and it was going the opposite way. The ufo was traveling from Illinois to iowa.

Seen a light in western sky traveling east as it got closer it was 2 dots i took pictures

Raleigh, NC

I saw two lights moving in an irregular pattern. They were spaced too far apart to be connected on an airplane and I saw nothing connecting them, but they were moving perfectly in tandem. They were alternately fading in and out (one became brighter as the other faded out). They eventually moved so that only one was visible above the trees - and that one moved suddenly in a different direction and then stationed in the sky. I was at an intersection and had to drive before I could see anything more.

Killingworth, CT

I walked outside and noticed two bright stars and then realized they were moving. I called the rest of the family out to confirm what I was seeing. There were 2 star like objects moving across the sky.

clayton, NC

The second set of lights had alot more movement east. This group had more lights but these lights had different sets within the group. The sets were moving in sequence but was all doing something different.

Baltimore, MD

At approximately 5:35 PM ET on Friday, November 13, there was a single bright white light in the sky, so bright it created a large ring in the thin cloud cover. The light and the ring dimmed slightly and then there were two bright lights, from my vantage point the second was just to the left and slightly above the first and may have been ejected from the initial single light. The lights were moving slowly in unison in a southwesterly direction. I was driving at the time so I got to a parking lot and exited my car, which took maybe two minutes from the initial sighting. I got out of the car and watched the two lights and noticed the second one was now a bit more dim and slightly further away from the original brighter light. The lights continued to move in a straight path with the distance increasing between them. I continued to watch for three or four minutes until I could no longer see the light that was ahead of the brighter one, which was now a pinpoint i! n the night sky. There were no other blinking lights or red or green aircraft lights associated with the two white lights. A few of my friends in different parts of Baltimore also witnessed them. I shot some video on my phone but there's not enough detail to really see what's going on.

Corapeake, NC

I noticed a plume following a bright light and as the bright light rose the plume got bigger (not unlike the rocket plume on TV from California) and the light separated into 2 lights and one went approximately 1 mile in front of the other then they traveled the same speed and then they left the plume when 2 more lights appeared about 15 to 20 miles behind the first 2 then 2 more lights appeared ahead of the last 2 lights and then they disappeared and then reappeared several times. They were all going the same speed until they went out of sight. They traveled southwest to northeast and looked like satellites but to low and to high to be jets.

Three Shiny Objects in the Evening Sky On the evening of November 13, 2020, I was standing on my front porch facing the direction of south. The time was 5:30 pm, and the sun was beginning to set. There were a few scattered clouds in the sky, but nothing to obscure my vision. I noticed a bright light in the sky, traveling from the south to the north in a liner direction. When the bright light approached the cloud, an orange color surrounded the moving object. This object was quiet and no contrail was discovered. The orange glow lasted for a brief time (approx. five seconds or so). After seeing this questionable object in the evening sky, I wanted to verify the identity of this object. I returned to the house and located a spare riflescope that placed on a shelf in my bedroom closet. I returned to the front porch to observe this object to closer examine it with the aid of a multi power riflescope ( this scope has the power to multiply the image of a target from three times to nine times the size seen with the naked eye). I used the highest degree of magnification to identify the object in question. While looking thru the scope, all I could identify was a small shiny object; I could not discern any features with this rifle scope. I have used this same optical device to identify the ISS; I have seen the shape and colors of the ISS. After trying to identify the object in question, I discovered two similar objects accompanying the object I was examining. All three objects were traveling in a triangular fashion. The objects appeared to resemble a formation that traveled the same direction and kept the same speed between them. I aimed the spare riflescope at each of the objects, but I was unable to discern any details of each object. I continued to observe the three objects until the trees concealed them. I observed them for approximately 40 seconds. I live near Seymour Johnson AFB in eastern North Carolina, and we have F-15E fighter jets and KC-46 refueling aircraft. The military aircraft produce a loud exhaust emitted from the jet engines, and they can be heard from several miles away. I have seen the fighter jets engaged in full afterburner at night; they do not stay in full afterburner for extended periods because the afterburners will quickly consume hundreds of pounds of fuel in a very short period. The objects in question were not commercial aircraft either; I have used lower powered binoculars to identify jet powered passenger aircraft flying at their regular altitudes (they produce a contrail from the hot exhaust cooling in the extreme cold high altitudes they cruise at). I could not identify these objects. They were shiny. They flew in an orderly fashion. They were quiet. I could not identify them as conventional jet powered aircraft. They emitted no contrails. They were too high in altitude to clearly identify them (although I can identify any civilian/military aircraft with assisted optics: spare rifle scope or binoculars). The objects traveled in a steady and smooth path; no deviations. What did I witness? I do not know. There were three shiny objects that traveled across the evening sky. I have witnessed satellites, the ISS, shooting stars, military fighter jets engaged in afterburner at higher altitudes engaged with other fighter jets, and dirigibles. Dirigibles do not move across the horizon at the altitude and speed I witnessed. I noticed the first object projected an orange glow (that encompassed the entire object) when approaching a nearby cloud, but the orange glow ended shortly. The object never traveled below the cloud. The orange cloud may have been an image produced by the reflection of the setting sun. Whatever they were, I haven’t a clue. I could not positively identify them with my spare riflescope. There were three, and they traveled in a triangle formation. No other aircraft were available in the area. I have never experienced an event like this. Three shiny objects traveling south to north in a triangular formation that traveled in a steady course with no deviation. Thank you for reading my personal testimony.

Sheridan, WY

We saw three bright lights hovering in the near distance over Wendy's in Sheridan just after it had gotten completely dark outside. We were stopped at a stoplight, watching the craft. At first we thought it was a plane, but it was just hovering - not moving at all. Then, suddenly, it started coming straight for us at a pretty good speed, descending as it went so that by the time it was over our car it was only about a one-story house above us and we got a good look at it for a couple of seconds before it vanished. It looked like a standard hexagon, only squished down so it was flatter. It was dark green in color, with four bright lights on the underside of it. It also seemed metallic. It made absolutely no noise whatsoever, despite how close it was to us. After it passed over the car we saw no trace of it again. No lights, no sound - nothing. It was like it had never been there. We have evidence of this object on our dash cam, all the way up until it was rig! ht over us and we were able to see it clearly.

Wichita, KS

I was out walking my dogs when I saw a black formation moving to the east. I first thought it was a formation of geese flying but as it got closer I realized it was some kind of object. It was silent and seemed to gyrate into different S shaped formations. It then started moving to the northwest. I saw one of my neighbors sitting on her porch, I asked her to please look at it so I would have a witness. Unfortunately, I did not have my cell phone with me.

Dolores, CO

At about sunset (17:00) very low on the northern horizon I saw what I first believed to be a bright star or planet. It was the only star visible in the evening sky at this time. I watched it for a few seconds before realizing it was moving east just slightly. I asked my wife to come out and see it. I told her " hey you see that star there, keep and eye on it for me will ya?" I went inside to find binoculars. By the time I had come back out ( a few minutes later) my wife had witnessed the object move slowly and evenly a great deal eastward, before it came to a complete stop. When viewed through the binoculars the object appeared to be a single dot of white light. We had time to set up a telescope on the now stationary object and through this the object appeared to be scintillating with all colors but was still a very small and indistinguishable dot of light with no features. I shot the object with a compass and shot where I had originally observed it. The object had moved from almost due north to 44 degrees and at an angle of approximately 15 degrees. The time was noted as 17:44. We continued to observe the object periodically through the evening and it appeared to melt into the rest of the night sky and rose with the rest of the night objects around it. At about 20:00 a haze moved in and the object was no longer distinguishable from other heavenly bodies.

Evansville, IN

Walking my dog, looked up. Saw faint white mist like glow. Removed my phone, set to take picture. Zoomed to focus and delta shape was visible. Movement was slow and in a eastern direction. No sound was heard. Only slow movement. Finally was to far away to see due to tree line. I could not tell size.

Mission Viejo, CA

When driving North, onto the 5 Freeway onramp from La Paz Road, to the West I saw a Huey type helicopter following an elongated teardrop shaped vehicle. They both were about 500 feet above ground, and heading North. The UFO shined a very bright whitish light for 3-5 seconds. The UFO was gray overall, and both were about 1 mile away. I saw no details on the UFO, other than the teardrop shape or outline. I lost sight of both after 30 seconds, as the tree line obscured them. A minute later, I caught sight of the helicopter again, still on a Northerly heading, before it turned to the West, but the UFO was nowhere to be seen. No idea where it went, or how.

Canfield, OH

With the Covid situation it has forced the couple to shop in much different ways than normal. They were looking for a farm market to see if they had any vegetables. As the man and his wife were on an out of the way road, mid afternoon, he sighted something about 800 foot off the ground, oval and very shiny, with the sun reflecting off of it, slowly moving up and down. He asked his wife if she was seeing what he was seeing and she confirmed that she also saw it ahead of them. As they drew closer and had a better view of it, the shape was almost a perfect elongated oval, they could not see if there were any lights on it because of the reflection of the sun. As they approached the object it made a slight wobble and shot straight up and disappeared in the blink of an eye. His wife had always been a non-believer of such things but never kept him from his interests. Now, she said, "I always thought you were crazy, but I can't argue with what I saw." At 3! :45 pm, the sun was setting in the southwest, clear sky, very little wind , no one else in the area (farm country).

Virginia beach, VA

I was at my local basketball courts with some friends and we saw lights moving in the sky in ways that didn’t seem normal. There was another group of 4 there at the time who also saw what we witnessed. There were 2-4 UFOs that we saw but it was hard to tell how many there really were because a few times we saw light zap from one light to another almost like a shooting star over a short distance. The lights were bright and white and were not flashing.

Moncks Corner, SC

We have a landfill in town. Something resembling a rocket took off from the area the landfill is at. It's also a methane processing plant. I watched this rocket looking object shoot up. It released two smaller balls of blinking lights. Went further up and released another one. So three total. I had my girlfriend and her dad watch with me. It was kind of brief but I couldn't have been the only one who seen it. I've seen planes release contrails but this was not the same. If anyone else seen this event just know your not alone. I'm truly baffled.

Benson/four oaks, NC

It began as what looked to be a surface to air missile, a vapor trail up to about 40 degree angle in relation to the road, then it stopped in the sky in what looked like a cloud of vapor then it like blew all the vapor away like a huge fan just pushed all the vapor clouds away and it then became 2 bright lights moving in unpredictable directions and then 2 more appeared lower within its original flight path moving left right up and down it went way high dropped back down and raised back up then a 3rd appeared with the lower 2 and the other 2 higher in the sky continued irrational movement but in a controlled manor then the trees on the side of the road blocked our view until we got to a break in the tree line we could still see the 2 at the higher angle in the sky until they disappeared. The original vapor trail looked as though it possibly originated somewhere towards the Jacksonville direction.
