Pasadena, CA
I work on the corner of Lake Avenue and Cordova in Pasadena, CA. I left work last night about 21:30 and headed North on Lake Avenue to the 210 Freeway entrance. As I neared last stoplight on Lake where the freeway entrance is to go East, I saw a man on the edge of the sidewalk to the right of me (300 block of N. Lake Ave.) with his right arm outstretched toward the West sky, his palm was open. I looked up to the left and saw a group of four round orange lights in a quasi-diamond shape. The lights seemed to be moving slowly and I could tell they were moving in my direction from the west to the east. The lights were definitely unlike anything I have ever seen. The stoplight turned green and I normally would get on the 210 freeway to go East. Instead, I turned right on a frontage street called Corson and pulled over to look at the lights. Once I stopped, I could see the lights were still moving in my direction but now two of the lights separated from the other two and went straight up then disappeared. I grabbed my cell phone and took a short video capturing the two remaining lights in the center of the screen. Visually, the two lights looked like they weren’t moving anymore, like they were hovering. I then realized I was parked in a red zone on the side of a street in a not safe place (homeless people, dark area) so I got in my car and headed home, getting on the freeway at the next entrance which is Hill Ave. When I got home, which is about 17 miles east of where I started, I could not see any lights and do not know what happened to them. At home, I watched the short video and noticed the beginning of the video captured the second of the two lights that went straight up and disappeared.

We walked off the deck and saw 2 balls of light in the sky. They flickered a couple times like a blink. Stayed in one spot while blinking. Then disappeared. There were 3 eye witnesses that saw them. There were aircraft in the area and it looked like these bright balls were chasing them.

While looking back at some pictures I had taken, I saw this strange oblong object in the air that I can’t really explain. I am a student, a science major, and I was walking across campus to my apartment after working late in the lab when I took these photos. In the moment, I didn’t notice anything amiss except that it was very foggy that night. I was taking a picture with my phone because I thought the way the nearby street lamp was illuminating some tree leaves looked interesting. I don’t recall anyone near me when I took the photos, although people may have been walking further down on the sidewalk and still had some line of vision to where this object appears to be. Because I didn’t see it in the moment, I don’t know what actions this object took either except moving due north, as it moves from right to left between the two pictures. Personally, I’m not inclined to believe it is aliens without knowing any more than I do right now, but I really do wonder how something else! , such as a drone, could have been operated, because there was heavy fog and low visibility that night.

We all watched as it went completely across our field of vision, which thankfully we have a large area that is cleared of anything that could possibly inhibit our line of sight. I would give an absolutely 100% time frame, but I was so stunned by what I was seeing, that I stood there dumbfounded, for several minutes and then we all stood there and discussed what we had seen. I know the exact time of when I got home, due to being a business owner, I have to keep track of all my travel information for income taxes. One other interesting thing about this, my mother, who lives about 6 acres away from us, called me the next morning and asked me had I heard the loud booming sound last night, which none of us heard anything. Not sure if that has anything at all to do with this, but it was around the same time. I do know that we 100% saw something, I am a skeptical person, and have never believed in Aliens or Unidentified Flying objects, but I know that we saw a round/oval object that flashed at least 6 different colors or variations of those colors and flew above my family for at least 3 to 5 minutes at speeds that I have never seen or heard of before. One other interesting thing, after reading several other reports from others, I developed an intense throbbing headache, which has not gone away since I witnessed the object, now it has been 4 days. I have taken Aleve, Advil, Tylenol pretty much anything that has ever worked before and it will not go away. All of the 5 of us, had a weird "taste/smell", like when you get an IV and you sense the salinity thru your nose or taste buds, its like a very faint miles away skunky smell that also had a metallic taste. Also, several family members have also had other symptoms that are unusual, my 21 year old son can't sleep at all, he is usually a heavy sleeper that could sleep anywhere really. My 14 year old has the funky smell/ taste thing like I do as well as the splitting headache. My husband who is usually quiet has become a very irritable person, who has a short temper and wants to argue with just about anyone or thing. So with all this, I'm still not sure what the hell we saw that night!

Two huge orange reddish colored lights estimated 400-800 feet apart horizontal to the ground based on seeming to be about a mile away and half a mile above the ground from where we were sitting. The two lights remained stationary for roughly 5-7 seconds and then the right light would disappear and simultaneously another light would appear to the left of the original left light. It did this about 5 times over 7-10 additional seconds and then disappeared.

Facing south, I saw multiple red lights floating into the sky. First a couple, then a cluster of about five, and then another group of two. The lights all floated to the same height, paused, and then disappeared.

On my way into town, I noticed a pair of lights flying slowly in tandem. The looked almost like Chinese paper lanterns. The flew for a distance and then just disappeared. On the way back home, I saw four pair, 8 lights total, that did the same thing.

I placed my game camera in the window facing out onto Moose Lake in my garage and about seven months later I’ve decided to look at the pictures, something kept telling me I needed to look but it’s taking me three more months to get up the courage and now I know why. I want to give you guys my memory card. I am hoping you can explain what the craft is and it shows up in a couple different pictures on different days and also there’s other photos that just a Peer and it’s like a blast of light please advise me how I can get you this memory card

Gulfport, MS
I was driving to work that morning enjoying the early morning sky, I saw what at first I believed to be a Vapor Trail. Being that I live on the gulf coast ,USA near many military bases, NASA research centers and airports I paid no mind. However, as I continued upon my route the object I noticed it was moving in atypical aviation patterns. I am closely familiar with aviation capabilities (known) and come from a line of pilots and military personnel. This was different from anything I had ever seen. It seemed to change altitude effortlessly with no Trail or heat byproduct behind it. I observed it flying at an FL of 7-10 feet.. It appeared bright white throughout and had a longer body than width an almost looked like cigar with more rounded edges. I did manage to take a short video and 2 photos. The stability of the video is shaky from driving but clear. The reason I did not think it to be a known aircraft was its ability to change direction laterally with! ease.

I was waiting for my son to take him to work as I looked at the stars I thought I saw a satellite crossing the sky. But then it stopped and got very bright and the took off moving again until it disappeared.

Lone Oak, TN
My girlfriend and I were driving from a date in Atlanta a couple years ago. Apple maps told me there was a traffic jam blocking the interstate from Chattanooga to Nashville, so we decided to take the highways home. I was driving on highway 8 toward McMinnville at 11:30pm when a blinking cone of light appeared across the night sky on my left. The light was huge, spanning miles in length. It was probably 5,000-10,000 feet up in the air as it was a semi-cloudy night and it was below the clouds but way above the trees. The cone of light was not that wide but extremely bright and aimed forward in the sky, not at the ground but straight forward. I woke up my girlfriend who had been sleeping at that point and she also sees this strange blinking cone of light that seems to be approaching us. The blinking was on for 2 seconds and off for 2 seconds. As we passed the craft, both of us got a good look at what it was. We were expecting to see some kind of airplane or radio tower but what we see is something else entirely. It appears to me as an all black bike horn, with the cone of light being emitted from the cone of the horn. My girlfriend described it as a "hanging lamp." It passed us going no faster than 100mph. One thing about it that we both agreed on was that the craft was very large, larger than an airplane. It was about the size of 4 airplanes. We did not turn around to follow it, as it was going the opposite direction. It was going in the direction of its headlight, and had no visible wings or means of propulsion.

The craft blinked in the distance signaling one in the sky like they were blinking in a binary morse code type pattern. Then one descended on the valle caldera and disappeared into the center of the sky without making a sound. The lights it emitted are green and blue. I know more but I'm afraid to write it here.

I was in my yard looking up at the sky. Smoking a cigarette. Above the Treeline above 146north. I definitely saw a glowing orb with a trail of light behind it. It lasted for about 5 seconds and then just disappeared. At first I thought it was a drunk but it was too bright and the trail is way too long.

Glowing red orange light with two small blinking red and yellow lights behind it. It seemed fairly close to the ground, the size of your pointer fingernail in the sky above Mt tabor. It made no noise and kept a steady pace while flying over. Originally mistook it as a Paper lantern when it was in the distant before it made its way past me. It seemed to be glowing from inside itself.

Yellow to white sphere. Traveling at a high rate of speed. Traveling from south west to northest. Gradually gaining altitude. The craft was large, in comparison to the commercial aircraft that were near by.

It was dark. But I was in the shower when my family started freaking out about a loud noise and something white and red outside flying around behind our house going back and forth. I went to the window facing my back yard in my parents room. Behind our house is a 160ish acre field and next to it is maybe twice or three times as much worth of woods. It appeared to be a mile or so far away when I first saw it. Then just like that it was right in my backyard woods. Maybe 70 to 100 yards away and it was gliding towards my house getting closer and closer and then it stopped. Then it turned right as in my right so that would be it's left and glided in that direction. That's when I was able to to make out its long cylinder like shape but the ends were rounded off like the top an egg on each side. Both ends had one light at this time and it was a dim light. Not bright white like LEDs. It was like older headlights on a car. It had to be the size and length of a schoo! l bus maybe bigger. We have ducks and chickens and a fair amount of people have dogs on our street and nearby. They all started freaking out and making noises. The UFO had a hovering noise that sounded like a lasso spinning in the air like the wild west movies. The UFO just glided over the trees like it was searching for something and soon the lights disappeared. I went outside to investigate and walked up to the treeline and I sat there for a minute watching and listening and my mom was begging me to come inside. Right when she started asking me to come inside I just heard was seemed to be multiple animals or people sprinting through the woods. I couldnt see anything but tons of sticks were cracking and you could hear leaves and whatever else on the forest floor being stepped on as all these things were moving quickly through the woods. It was honestly unlike anything ive ever seen in my life. And right now I honestly feel like its still out there doing something. In the m! orning I'm going out to look in the area it was hovering. This! was def initely not a drone. The hovering noise it made was too loud and the UFO was too big. If you saw this thing youd know something was very wrong here. About 4 years ago my sister described waking up in the middle of the night to something exactly like this and it makes me wonder why I never listened to her. There was definitely something out there and it was not from this planet. I swear I'm not making this up.
October 19, 2020 · 6:00 PM · DIAMOND
Fort Worth, TX
Each diamond was uniform in shape, color (silver/blue-ish), and size (about a pickup size in each). When I originally saw it in the sky, the diamonds were closely clumped together (but not exactly touching), and under the flight track of Alliance airport, under 500ft. * * * * * * As the 767 cleared the craft above the entity, it floated into 6 distinct entities and began moving to the west/west-north and rising. The 6 entities expanded - 3 of them straight and uniform at the horizon, 3 of them connected to the left-side point and connected as a triangle. At this point, it was stable at 3000ft. * * * * * * As it continued west, the entities expanded their space and changed the overall shape into a straight-line. It moved slightly higher, stable at 6000ft. I continued watching the entities until it moved out of my sight to the west. * * * * * *

While photographing aircraft from KEDW - Edwards Air Force Base , a lone T-38 took off to the west and as it climbed out , the teardrop craft passed from South to North above and out in front of T-38 . Vehicle appears to be quite large in size . Shot at ISO 800 with a shutter speed of 1/6400 of a second .

Eagle point, OR
I was driving my friend home when as clear as day I see something shoot across the sky over the hills, Weirdly enough it didn’t have a light trail. My friend was there to hear my reaction but wasn’t able to see it himself because he was on his phone. I wouldn’t consider my self crazy and I believe in logical explanations but I’m failing to see the logic in this. The visual reminded me of a video I once saw of a tracer fire light but appearing to have come from the sky. I suppose there was a little bit of a light trail but not like one you would see from a shooting star. Was definitely not a shooting star.

Watching the sunrise I saw what appeared to be a large piece of trash or similar drifting NW. it appeared to be 1-3 miles away. I grabbed my quality binoculars to look closer. When I returned it had the shape of a human and with a Viking-like helmet (horns?), all black. At this point I still assumed trash as it continued to change shape. Just above this object a saw a military jet fly towards it and past it. It appeared to be investigating, perhaps from Nellis AFB?? It began to move quicker, still changing and at last resembling a pod or an almond, black with red accent., it moved out of my line of sight, so I ran to my front window to follow it, camera and binoculars in hand, but it as no where to be seen.

I first thought it was a very bright star then realized it was to low in the dark night sky to be a star. I got my binoculars and discovered it was a perfect sphere with individual lights that remained me of the Times Square countdown sphere. It stayed completely still and silent. I checked 90 minutes later and the object Was red and flashing had had moved eastward It seemed to be tree top level and was flashing red about every 5 seconds. It looked like it was stationary over I-75 between Rocky Face and Tunnel Hill exits. I checked again a few minutes later and it had disappeared.
