It was a light flying through the sky with a v-shape behind it. We saw saw it on one side of the tree but it disappeared on the other side of the tree. This house is near an airport but we’ve been here for year and have never see anything that looked like that. It was wild.

Commack, NY
Myself and 3 others punched out to go home at 630pm. One guy left immediatly, another 2 walked with me to the lot, the second guy got in his truck and left as I was talking to the third guy, I was facing south. Above him in the distance, in the sky, I saw an oval shape lit on the leading edge. At first it looked like a pinpoint but as it moved from west to east, it quickly because a defined shape. I immediatly stopped our conversation and pointed it out to him and we were in shock of what we were viewing. We walked more into the center of the lot. It was moving no faster than I would say and aircraft moves. This was no aircraft in our opinion. I took my phone out and took a picture, I switched my phone to video and as I started recording, my friend said it just vanished. The sky was clear, no clouds could be viewed. There were aircraft in the area and you could clearly see their navigation lights. We viewed this object for about 10 seconds before I snapped the picture I have of it. I can best describe the object as a well defined oval massive in shape. I would scale it at maybe 4 times larger than an aircraft. There was a glow to the front that wasnt like a headlight, it didnt project out like a headlight. It was more of a light at the leading edge of it that shined back onto the object that clearly defined its shape, or atleast the leading edge of it. The shape was clearly defined as an oval, the end of the shape was crisp, it didnt appear that the glow of it was like a a light being shined into the distance, it was very clear that the light was shining at the object as if it was a light to show what it was, not where it was going.

A large orange ball with a fire trail behind the moving object. Object was moving in an upward ascending motion and then turned blue with a blue trail behind it. The ball then turned back to orange again as it disappeared in the atmosphere.

Was driving home. Saw what looked like a red ball moving upward. I pulled out my smartphone and started recording. As I continued to look I noticed it had a tail coming from the back. It almost looked like a shooting star but instead of coming down. It was going upward.

Charleston, SC
We saw a red glowing object appearing to be similar in size, if not larger, to a star in the sky. Arising off the object, above and below, was a red half-sphere. Imagine the letter ‘C’, but almost cone-shaped, and the red object would be the tip of the cone. This object appeared to glide through the sky at a high altitude— we were able to observe said object for approximately four minutes, it gradually became no longer visible. The object appeared to have changed direction becoming more and more faint in color, however the altitude seemed to have remained the same. At the time that the object apparently changed direction we saw a second glowing spherical object descending toward us, it disappeared once it got very close to the horizon. This second object appeared similar in nature to a flare, without a smoke trail- just the spherical red glowing object. Observation Notes: two observers no noise obtained photo of second object unable to get photo of first object with phone

While unloading groceries from my trunk I looked up and noticed that something was cutting through the clouds at a rather fast pace. The object was completely silent and appeared to be moving at a speed greater than what a traditional aircraft would. I was unable to see the craft but the clouds were being cut, forming a boomerang shape at the front of where the craft had to be. Once the craft cut through, it left a clear gap where it had gone through. The craft did not have lights consistent with a traditional aircraft - no flashing lights or bright lights whatsoever but it did assist to have a faint red tint as it cut through the clouds; certainly not bright enough to be from a plane. Also, unlike a plane, the craft was no longer visible after cutting through the clouds. I would have expected to see it once it moved out of the clouds and into the clear sky but I didn't.

Morriston, FL
The photo was taken at 6:26pm on 11/5/20 looking East, in Levy County, FL. I was walking my dog and saw a slow moving, red/orange glowing object making it’s way across the sky. I thought it must be a meteor, until I realized the object had stopped moving, and was hovering...that’s when I pulled my phone out to take a picture. I was unsure if it would come out clearly since the recent time change makes it quite dark by 6:30, but my phone’s night lens captured it. Then, I thought perhaps it’s a military drone? The photo makes it appear as though it was in motion, but it wasn’t; I assume that effect is due to my hands shaking while taking the photo in Night Mode on my phone with a 3 second exposure time. I looked down at my dog, looked back up again and it was gone. The whole “event” lasted approximately 15 seconds. If it hadn’t stopped moving completely and then disappeared, I would’ve been satisfied with the possible explanations I wrote above...but since I can’t explain this, I figured I should report it.

Ocala, FL
When my 7 year old son and I were driving southbound on SW 62nd St and approximately route 200, I noticed a bright orange light to the south of me. As I turned my vehicle to go left (west), it appeared to have a long orange trail behind it. I was driving but my 7 year old said it looked like a large fire coming out behind a large circular object. We thought it may have been a rocket or a meteor, but it appeared to be traveling at a high rate of speed, then it disappeared.

Pine Grove, PA
Looking up in the night sky in Pine Grove I was attempting to watch the metor showers. Looking up, at first I thought I saw two satallites. However they started changing directions and seems too close together to be satatlittes. The two of them would stop then move left then move right. It looked like a light show. They were very high so that is why I thought they were satallites at first. This went on for about 3 min. The dance stopped and they seemed to blend back into the back ground of night stars.

For well over a month now I have been seeing these orange or bright LED orbs where I live. My neighbor up the road has seen and managed to catch almost the same unidentified objects on film also. Last night 11/4 I was startled with a close encounter. I woke up in the middle of the night to let the animals out. When I swung open my front door I immediately seen at least 10 orbs hovering above my yard. I love in the country with very little neighbors close by, so it's always dark with no lights obstructing the view. When I looked up at them they were floating or swaying down towards the ground real slow. These were orange in colored and would fade out when there was movement on the ground. This incident scared me and I immediately shut the door and curtains and went to our bedroom. Normally I'll stay up and watch these orbs just to see what they do and make sure that I'm truly seeing what I'm seeing. I've mentioned to it to family members about these sightings! and everyone just brushes it off to be a plane which is so frustrating. So tonight I was outside putting firewood in our outdoor furnace and noticed 2 LED colored orbs across the road by the farm equipment hoovering. There was 3 over in the field where the horses graze and 5 to my left further on up the road at my grandmother's farm where the cows are. Watching there movements is incredible. It's this graceful swaying at times to no movement. The LED orbs are so bright it hurts your eyes to look at. I've pulled out binoculars to see what it could be and it's so bright. At times you can see them turning in circles when hoovering in one spot. Almost like a flashlight turning with them. I was watching one hoovering in front of my neighbors window at night(she lives on top of the mountain, me in valley but at night now that leaves are off the trees I can see her lights coming from their living room. Mt husband and I literally watched this orb hoovering within eyesight of her w! indow. We watched it come down from the sky and stay there for! well ov er 30 mins. It then slowly and gracefully lowered down into the valley and worked it's way over the cattle field also triggering a motion light as it passed right by. This particular orb wasn't no more than 30 feet from the ground. The last thing I want to mention is, last night when I seen the ones hoovering in my front yard that scared me. Later that night 3am ish I seen this bright bright white light coming through my curtains. I glanced out the crack and saw 2 orbs hoovering above my truck. It was so bright it lookws like the sun was shining. It was so crazy. I'm such a thrill seeker and get so excited seeing unexplained things such as these. Buy lately, it's getting to close for comfort and now I'm just genuinely freaked out bc I have no clue what this is. We've been seeing these more frequently. And my husband is dumbfounded with no explanation on what we are seeing. Before he would blow it off. But not now. We seem to always see orbs. Orange and the bright LED color. ! We have watched blinking red crafts that stay in one spot for long periods of time and take off. These blinking ones defy the odds of being a plane or drone. The movement has been incredibly fast and my neighbors has a video of a fleet. I've never seen anything like it in my life. I've reached out to my brothers who are in the military and they were amazed at what they seen to. I would welcome a team of investigators to stay on our farm for 1 week to document and explain to us what we are seeing. And I'm not sure if this means anything but when we've tried to film with our cell phones our batteries drain so fast or our phones shut off even if they are at 50% battery life. Maybe its the temperature changes maybe not. But this is the 2nd battery I've had to replace on my cell since spring of 2020.

My uncle, grandfather, my brother, and I were fishing under a bridge my brother walked out and saw witch looked like a big triangle moving north. He asked my grandfather if I was a blimp but it was to big and two low to be a blimp. It had a white haze around it It got to the busy street and turned into a big cloud. It looked like it had just evaporated. There was no clouds in the sky that night.

I looked up due north at about 60 to 70 degrees of arc and saw a star. It then moved down to the right at a 45 degree angle and traveled about the size of your little finger if you held your hand up to the sky. And then it disappeared. Then right where it had first appeared, another star lit up again and followed the same trajectory down and disappeared or dissolved. After about three times, two stars one right after the other repeated the sequence. Then it was back to just one star. This happened about ten times in a row. Then, out of the western sky came another star moving very fast and came up to where the ten stars had lit up and disappeared and headed into the northern sky until it disappeared over the horizon. This star only took about five seconds to travel from the western sky over to the northern sky and disappear over the horizon.

They weren't like stars it appeared to hover but then it would look like it turned round it then went back to a diamond shaped couldn't believe what I was seeing I called my step daughter and my daughters mother to see the lights and they thought I was lying until they saw exactly what I was talking about.

I went to smoke a cigarette last night on my backporch and noticed a brighter orange colored star do I thought in the sky. I immediately got my phone out and took a picture. Only when I zoomed in I can see this light make like zigzags in the sky. It then looked like it changed color. My 16 yr old son came home around 1030pm and we started taking videos. We then found like 4 or 5 more all throughout the sky.they looked like flashing lights in the night sky. We then took pics and videos because now they were turning into what looked like spheres and all different shapes. One of the pictures we took actually shows the bottom of the object and it clearly shows a circle bottom and then it like disappears and shoots off the screen. I also took a video of all 3 in 1 video to show it wasn't just a fluke happening. It was actually something in the sky.

While driving home we saw two objects with lights all around them in the sky. They were just hovering in one spot at first. One ended up circling around the other and then they took off in the direction between West/East. They were fairly close to the ground as well. Their speed was fairly quick.

Lewiston, NY
At around 915 p.m., I was outside because it was an unexpectedly beautiful night, with a sudden warm up after severe cold. I saw an object moving left to right, seemingly in a straight line moving diagonally away from me. A couple of minutes later, I realized the object had stopped, just stopped. I continued to watch it, thinking maybe its just moving away from me, but it stayed in one place for about 10 minutes. I got my binoculars, and took a look, and the object, which seemed from a distance to be LED bright, and with multiple lights, turned out to be a moving snake line, like an electrical impulse kind of thing you would see on a computer screensaver. A snake like line just kept moving randomly but in a contained space. I saw no distinguishing shape. I thought maybe it was some kind of refracted light from the binocular lens, so I checked out other stars, but they were not moving, and had no such squiggly lines or brightness. Then I noticed that there were a couple more really bright lights, and looked closer with the binoculars, noting that there were three such lights, each with these electrical impulse type snake movements like a line chasing its tail kind of thing. I realized that together, the 3 lights formed a very large triangle, although I saw no shape between them, and they did not move. This was over the Niagara River in Lewiston, New York, which borders with Canada, and because of the distance (the lights were not close), I couldn’t determine if they were over the river or over Canada. I noted there were several more, but due to trees and such could not determine any more which might be in formation. They disappeared shortly after, just faded away like they were never there. I looked online and something similar was captured on video along Lake Erie, New York, except those could be seen with the naked eye. I attach the link because it accurately showed the kind of spasmic shifting of this weird bright snake rope kind of movement, which was recorded in 2018. https://www.texasufosightings.com/buzz/strange-squiggly-lines-seen-with-naked-eye-over-new-york-see-photos I am located in Lewiston, NY, roughly 100 miles from the original sighting, and less than 5 miles from the Niagara Falls Air Force Base, on Lake Ontario.

Currie, MN
Sighting took place November fourth, 2020 at Lake Shetek State Park in Southern Minnesota. The park is located two miles northwest of the town of Currie in Murray County. Park is located where in August of 1862 massacre of settlers took place during the US Dakota War. Observation of unidentified object took place while I was lying on my cot looking up at the constellation Cygnus. As I was looking up at Cygnus two meteors shot across the constellation traveling north to south. One of the meteors trailed closely behind the other. Both had the magnitude in brightness as currently does the star Deneb. There was a slight variation in the direction as one took a straight southerly route and the other a slight shift to the South South East. As a comparison they were separated in distance by using an out stretched arm and looking at the small finger. At this point to me they appeared as meteors until the lead object rapidly decelerated and stop. When it stopped in the central west area of Cygnus the object dimmed in magnitude. Then slowing it began moving west or at a right angle from its previous direction. At this point I took notice wondering what had just happened. As it traveled past several stars it again stopped. At this point I called a friend by phone to discuss what was taking place. Again the object stopped and after a brief interlude changed direction and started slowing moving south towards the constellation Delphinus. Shortly thereafter it drifted out of view. Sighted by Health care provider, male, age 62.

We were looking toward the Southern sky at Jupiter and Saturn when we saw this row of 20 or so stars in a line evenly spaced from the south to west. We realized these were not stars as they were moving slowly from South to West keeping an even spacing. This went on for a minute or two then they all disappeared.

At approximately 6:47 p..m. On November 4, 2020 in an attempt to capture a picture of the night sky. After noting two bright stars one orange and one white. The orange one was in the bottom left position while the white was top right. As I was snapping the photo. What I can only describe as an Aliens finger ( White at the base, grey I’m the middle. Almost tentacle like fat at the base and extremely narrow at the top) appeared in front of my lens. Stealing the focus of my camera and cause the stars in the first photo to be very dull but still readable as Orange on the Bottom and white on top. It curled down as the camera snapped the picture and what’s caught is a triangular white blur. Which to me was the knuckle of the finger that’s been curled to where the tip touches the palm. After looking down and seeing what I thought I’d imagined was actually in the photo I set off to the house frightened. I recounted this to my brother who I’d been on the phone with the whole time. After getting some courage I opened the back door to look at the night sky again to find that the two objects were gone. I shut the door and exclaimed to my brother that the stars I’d seen and photographed were gone. He wanted proof so I opened the door to take another photo and they were back! But not in the same order this time the orange was at the top and white at the bottom. I snapped the picture and once again exclaimed to my brother what had happened. After hearing this excitement my Father in law came out of the house into the garage and asked what was going on. I explained we went out and as you can see in the third photo the objects were gone again and the sky was black. Donandrew@live.com

Raymond, NH
I was unloading my groceries and happened to look up. I seen what I think may have been a small craft that darted across the sky like a flash but it didn't really look like a "craft" more like a superhero going into hyperspeed as silly as that sounds. It had a blue green glow. It shot off North, North-West and it was in our atmosphere. It felt like it was close by. A few seconds later, there was a flash in the sky directly North which look like a star exploded. it was pretty bright, but a quick flash. The Flash was a bright white light. There was no star there before or after. Perhaps it was a portal?The Object was more west of the bright flash and at a lower altitude.

I am the only witness I know of. I am an astrophysicist and can usually explain these things. I was not in any way inebriated when I saw this. At approximately 6pm I was taking my trash out and looked up to admire the stars. I noticed something moving across the sky. It was crescent shaped, dim, and about 5" across. It moved across about 45 degrees of sky in 10 to 20 seconds in a northwest direction. It did not change shape or brightness. I tried to surmise whether it was something low and hovering (a drone or maybe a group of birds moving pretty quick) or higher and moving very quickly. I thought perhaps I wasn't seeing it clearly at first but after a few seconds I could see a clear cresent shape. The lighting on it did not change in a way I would expect if it was low. I decided it was probably a bow shock catching the sun (now set)'s light like a noctilucent cloud. However I am unfamiliar with what produces such long lived and steadily moving bowshock. I did not see that there were any vandenburg launches when I looked after. One other odd note: as I was watching it a meteor passed through it (diagonally vaguely ENE and at a very different soured of course so I assumed it was unrelated). I'm very interested in optical phenomena and as I said am an astronomer so I usually explain these things easily. This time while I suppose a jet or something might produce such a bow shock I am a little baffled so I thought I should report it.
