I was letting our dog out and had glanced at the wall clock just before letting him out. The time was showing as 20:07. As I opened the screen door of the back porch I noticed an extremely bright orange light. This light seemed to be at an extreme distance and was about 45 degrees off the horizon and a few degrees off of due east. The light was brighter than the stars surrounding it and at first I thought it was Mars, but it was much brighter and the color was orange. I immediately sat down on the porch and braced my back and the back of my head against the wall. In this way, I could maintain my viewing angle without my heading moving. The object was moving at times albeit slowly. From my perspective it seemed to move up and down, as well as back and forth. Over that time I watched it move from almost directly east to a SSE direction and also from 45 degree angle in the sky to about 40 degrees. At the end of the encounter it began to dim out in 3 phases. Not a slow diminishing of its brightness but in phases. The time that I last saw it was 20:20. At 2 points during this viewing, it seemed as if I also saw a smaller, silver undefined shape of something moving around the orange light. This other object was never in my sight more than 2 seconds each time. I cannot rule out that it was not some kind of parachute flare, but it was at a high altitude and lasted for at least 13 minutes that I can attest. I have seen parachute flares in the past and they were much lower and did not burn as long. A flare would not account for the other object I saw though.

Edisto Island, SC
While sitting on the back porch overlooking the water on the evening of October 22, 2020 at 19:13, I noticed what appeared to be a single very bright yellow stationary light above the tree line. At first look, it appeared as a brightly lit planet (Jupiter) during ideal viewing conditions. It was rather large (very noticeable) and it resembled the brightness of a planet but the sky wasn’t quite dark enough to see such brightness from a planet and its location ruled out the possibility for it to be a planet. I grabbed my binoculars and was astonished to see upon focusing, that the single bright light I saw actually appeared as 4 large yellow lights with flashing red lights in between. It remained stationary as I observed and then the lights changed to a vertical or north south position and the flashing red lights disappeared while the four yellow lights I had initially seen changed to 5 or 6 solid yellow lights (I was unable to confirm 5 or 6 because it start! ed moving off to the right in this position and faded out of my view.) No sound could be heard (such that would be associated with an airplane.) Reflecting back, the whole viewing lasted (given that I had time to get up and take my binoculars from their case and adjust them) about 2-3minutes. I am a college educated healthcare professional (nurse) and my husband, a physician, witnessed this with me while having dinner on the porch.

About 9-10 objects were all over the sky With a red light. I had thought they were an airplane as they had one light that would blink 3 times. However as one flew directly above me I noticed it had 3 red lights in the formation of a triangle one of the lights would blink 3 times rapidly and within a second, blink again. My friend and I saw a similar craft on a seperate date.

It was a rectangular shape, it was flying a bit above aircraft height and was white and blinked an occasional blue and red. It was fairly small and extremely fast. The UFO appeared to be shooting out things that looked light lightning out from behind it but instead of it going down it made a trail behind them for about three 5 seconds before disappearing. The lightning thing appeared white with a blue outline and was extremely thin. There was only one UFO. We were laying on a trampoline stargazing when my sister pointed it out to me, it was dark and cloudy so the UFO really stuck out. We watched it until we thought it was getting to close and left. We couldn’t figure out what it was, we’ve never seen anything like it.

As I was sitting outdoors I noticed a light/white? object very high in the sky, stationary. It remained in that exact spot for nearly twenty minutes without ever moving. There was no sound. It suddenly shot straight up at incredible speed for a distance, and stopped in a second like it had not just been moving at such a high rate of speed. It remained there for 5 minutes without moving. It then shot right back down to the original place it had been...again at incredible, instantaneous speed. When it darted up a short distance, and when it darted back down after the 5 minutes, it left behind a short, vertical trail of something that quickly disappeared. It remained in position without moving at all for another few minutes. Then it shot off horizontally at a speed that seemed impossible, until it was out of sight. Once again, it left behind a short trail of something as it shot off almost too fast to keep track of visually. The trail substance quickly dissipated.

Avon, MA
On my way to work this morning at about 4:30am as I was exiting rt24 exit 19b in Avon Massachusetts I looked up and saw a bright light. As it came into focus it was the shape of a triangle. It appeared to look like it was a triangular shape white neon tube. It was moving very slowly in an Eastern direction. I immediately slowed and observed. As cars built up behind me I continued off the exit ramp and then turned to see if I could see it and it was nowhere to be found. The whole time I was thinking that I needed to take a picture but for some reason there was some block that physically prevented me from doing this. I am disappointed in myself for not overcoming this and getting out the camera. I feel that the inability to get my camera out was the strangest part. I've never felt like that before.

I had gotten up to use the bathroom and a bright orangish flickering light caught my eye out the window because it was low and relatively close. I watched for a few minutes and it moved a bit left/right and forward almost. Super tired I got back in bed and told my husband he should go look. I drifted off but when he got back in bed he said that was the coolest thing and it was so close. In the morning I asked what he saw to compare and he said an orange triangle. He described it much closer than when I had looked at it.

UAPs 10/22/20 1:54:54 PM It was early afternoon and I was driving on an outer service road heading to the grocery store. It was a mostly clear day and I noticed some chem-trail activity in the sky when an airplane came into my view. It seemed a bit odd-shaped and I wasn’t quite sure if I was seeing an airplane or something else. My phone was close by so I took a quick picture. When I got home, I looked at the picture and was surprised to see some orb-like UAPs with a misty object hovering close by.

We Spotted a small orange orb over the ocean, our first thought was it may be Mars, but the orb got bigger and it was able to move very fast- up down and all directions. We watched this for a few minutes and then the orb grew bigger and brighter and suddenly became 5 orbs, flying in a straight line. My son got out his phone to video the orbs, but they suddenly disappeared before he could record them.

Witnessed two amber colored circular dots of light hopscotching each other horizontally across the sky and then disappear. At first we thought it was lights from an aircraft, but then we saw how they hopscotched over each other then quickly disappear, which made us both think that it was definitely not an aircraft.

This was at night about 30 minutes past sunset in a residential neighborhood. The UFO was spotted already moving in the sky from West to East. At first, I thought it was a small plane like a crop duster since there’s a local airport about 1/2 mile northwest of my location. However, a plane had just taken off and could be seen and heard headed South and was much larger in appearance. This UFO looked like a light orange ball of light and seemed to maintain a constant speed. As it passed directly overheard I listened for sounds of whirring if it were a drone, but heard none. A jet took off from the airport shortly after it passed directly overhead and appeared to be headed in the direction of the UFO. By the time it reached the UFO, you could tell the UFO was much higher in the sky. The jet turned north a bit and the UFO fell beyond my line of sight. Due to the difference in heights, it was hard to compare sizes, but it looked like it would still be smaller tha! n the jet had they been at the same height. The light was much brighter coming from the UFO than the jet’s lights despite the jet having been closer.

I am an amateur astronomer for 50 years, and was setting up to take a photo in the northern sky when I noticed 2 bright lights, magnitude ~0 to 1, approximately 0.3 degrees apart about 60 degrees altitude in the northeast sky. They were in a place with no bright stars and were immobile on observation for ~20 seconds. After that, one faded to dark, then the other faded about 5 seconds after the first.

I was jogging and I saw this wierd thing hover in the air and it looked like it might have been over my neighborhood. It was more vertical in shape and almost had a crescent moon shape, but like a fetus or a caterpillar. I kind of thought it was a paraglider, I guess if the shape of that type of chute makes sense, but I couldn't see anything attached to it. It was also kind of shiny looking and floated away at a rate that was similar to how fast a giant bubble moves through the air. It changed position in the air a few times, so I didn't think it was hard, but it also was traveling across the sky and away, so it wasn't falling like a parachute and I was not hear a cliff, like a paraglider would use which is why it looked that, but couldn't have been, unless there was a motor? But again, I was close enough in person that I would have seen someting attached to it. It wasn't THAT high up. There were a ton of other people around, driving cars, coming in and out of their homes. I guarantee a ton of other people noticed it and probably wondered what it was, but I didn't stop to observe it with anyone else or point it out to people. I have videos of it where you can see the buzz of traffic and other people around. It was very obvious there in the sky.

At first it looks like a star but once you look more closely you can tell it is at about airplane level when I recorded it and enlarged the video, you can clearly see this thing spinning really fast. Looks like a ball of energy. But has black circles on it

While driving home in the afternoon, I watched two Navy Jets making their approach to Oceana that appeared to be followed be a pencil shaped object. Jets don’t tow pencil shaped objects. I lost sight of all three over a tree line as they made a turn towards air base.

My girlfriend spotted a bright orange light in the sky through the window and called me over to look at it. We sat there and watched it for about 30 minutes and it appeared it was going up and down in elevation. All of a sudden the light start to appear to go further and further away. The light got dimmer then, almost straight out of a movie, the light appeared to Shrink and elongate, and shoot off into space leaving a sort of dust cloud as it took off, we sat there in absolute disbelief of what we just saw. We were both trembling and had no idea what to do or how to react. We sat there for quite sometime and kept looking out the window, about 40 min to an hr past and we decided to get back in bed. As we were climbing into bed she looks over and sees the orange light returning. I got a terrible feeling in my stomach and tell her to stay in bed and not to go back to the window. We sit there and watch it again for about 20 minutes or so. She decided to get up and go to the window and record the light. We try to zoom in on it but the quality isn’t the best. She records it for about 15-20 minutes but it stay put and does nothing. It’s now almost 6am. And we decide to go to bed. When we wake up we decide to look at the video she recorded and what we saw was beyond belief. The orange light appears to exploded and turn into a rubix cube type figure. It appears to have point folding in on eachother. We didn’t know we captured it on video until we rewatched the footage.

I was motivated to report this incident after reading about the upcoming Pentagon report. I camped in Canyonlands National Park on October 20 and while watching the stars saw a single light in the distance that looked like a plane or star and appeared to descend and/or move further into the distance, before turning sharply in a smooth movement at a very high speed. It moved way too suddenly to be a conventional airplane. The light from it slowly faded as it headed in new direction.
