Indian Harbour Beach, FL
Seen during a late night drive on 10/18/2020 coming from Satellite Beach. The road was eerily empty during the entire ride up onto the sighting, and I did NOT expect to come across anything of this sort on my drive. At approx. 4:40 AM @ Pine Tree Rd/A1A a "Sputnik"-shaped golden entity arose from the road and quickly rose vertically into the sky. This happened as my car (the only one upon the road at the time) approached it. Furthermore, the being appeared to have "unfolded" from a resting position upon the road as opposed to a mechanical device. There was no sense of endangerment or radiation from the surrounding environment. About 15 minutes later (approx. 5:00 AM) I was scanning the night sky of my back yard and witnessed, for a short span of seconds, two noticeably large orange lights hovering in a single spot quite low in the atmosphere. Considering the orange light emitted from these 2 objects was the exact same as the earlier sighting, it only seems rational to think that there are MANY more life forms such as these in this region alone, let alone the entire planet.

I woke up at 4:20 AM to go to the bathroom and have a cigarette outside and when I stepped out onto the back porch I saw an amber light attached to a triangle in the sky. It went back-and-forth really slow. I didn’t have my phone on me so I ran back inside the house to get it and when I came back outside it was still there and I was shaking so bad that I had to set my phone on the outside table to study the focus of what I was trying to record. I was in disbelief and the hairs on my head or standing up. There was no sound. When I hit record on my phone my phone made the object look circular in shape. I placed my phone on the table as steady as I could and hit record insight move back and forth up and down. Towards the end it took off to the right so fast it’s like it disappeared into thin air. I’m here visiting my sister in Grand Junction Colorado And this is the most Crazy thing I’ve ever seen in my life. I have a video and a picture of what I saw.

Please do not make this report public, I'm mostly putting this here as it's the only place to vent and not risk my career. I'm a ((specialty deleted)) working serious cases and this would not fly especially with my ((specialty deleted)) background to make me sound like I have PTSD but.. On the night of the 17th I made a report, I was outside with my girlfriend mid conversation a Triangle set of lights no more than Flight level 090 appeared in the left horizon of my backyard, time 1004. I couldn't sleep, I stayed out with my camera taking hundreds of pictures just hoping to see it again. It returned, exact same part of the sky last night. I havent slept because this time it didnt shoot across the sky in an instant. It stayed, circling. I could only stare in awe at it. The 3 lights were a slight blue hue, and immediately after a meteorite dissipated to my right, fractured and made a small parcel of dust. I could no longer locate the craft when I looked back. Please do not make public, or the one from my previous report. My adrenaline was still rushing and I regretted posting something hinting for others to look into the sky and since removed my post and pretending I was trolling. I've told a trusted few but even then I know I would never in a million years have believed what I was saying, just as you shouldn't, but the truth is what was happening when it stood there.. I could feel it looking at me. I dont even know if I believe in aliens or not but what I saw has irrevocably changed everything I believe. Kind Regards, ((name deleted))

Bright lights, white and red and green. Maybe 6 lights at bottom of disc. Very clear night. High in the southwest sky above the mountain. Lights were so bright, it felt to hurt eyes.

My girlfriend was looking out the window because she thought she heard it started raining then seen a light. She went into the other window near the bathroom I was in and then seen the light zigzagging near a light pole near our place. She yelled for me to come look but I was peeing but stopped myself to go look as quick as I could. I was about 2 steps away from the window before she said it vanished. She thought it was possibly police or someone with a flashlight but we went outside immediately after her sighting and there was nobody outside. I tried to recreate it with a few different flashlights but the light wasn’t solid and you could only see the beam. I’m not skeptical but if I don’t see something firsthand then I suggest more scientific explanations first so I also suggested it being a drone but a drone wouldn’t just vanish and it’s not like she seen it in the sky.. it was approximately 200 feet off the ground. My second thought was ball lighting but ! it wasn’t lighting or even raining and she said the shape was like a oval.. she also said it was similar size to a circular sled.

Pearsonville, CA
On the night of October 15th, 2020, my dad and I witnessed a UAP near Kennedy Meadows Campground in Pearsonville, California. We were car camping and had setup for a brief overnight stay in Kennedy Meadows Campground. The campground was empty except for us and one other camper that went to bed early. At approximately 10:00pm, I was looking north-east towards the nearest mountain (approximately 0.3-0.8 miles away) when I saw a solid ball of white light rise seemingly through (or behind) the trees on top of the ridge. I called my dad over to watch it with me. Initially, I suspected it was a hiker flying some kind of drone, or maybe some sort of governmental drone doing nighttime surveying. However, we proceeded to watch the object maneuver over the ridge for approximately 2.5 hours. I do not know of any drones capable of hovering and maneuvering for at least 2.5 hours. For the duration we observed, the object appeared as a steady white light, never once blinki! ng or changing color. It would hover, then move in what looked like semi-random directions, only to hover once more. At one point while observing, the object continued to rise up in altitude at least 500-1000 feet over the ridge, then it slowly descended to 100+ feet over the ridge. Around 12:30am, we were so tired we decided to stop watching, especially since we'd run out of ideas for things it could be. Thoroughly fascinated and simultaneously unsettled, we went to bed. I am unsure at what point the object left. No matter the case, there was no trace of it over the ridge in the morning. Due to the remoteness of the area we were camping paired with the lateness of the hour, proximity to our campsite (we would have heard a plane or helicopter), flight duration, and flight capabilities, I have been unable to draw any conclusions as to what the UAP might have been. I considered a balloon with a light, but it's ability to hover consistently and move in random directions did not remind me of how I have ever seen a balloon move in the sky. To this day, I have no idea what the object could have been, but I wanted to officially report it. Some background on myself: I'm a Database Administrator with a degree in Computer Science.

On Oct. 17, 2020, my husband let our dog out and called me to look at what seemed to him to be an extremely bright star in the sky. I grabbed my cell phone to take a photo and realized when I looked through the camera it was sort of dancing so I switched my setting over to video to start recording. Meanwhile, my husband had gone inside to grab his binoculars(we were both quite curious now. When he looked through them that one light you could see with a naked eye looked like two. The object (light) was moving around randomly, always staying within a circle that reminded me of the beam of a car’s headlight and emitting off beautiful bursts of light resembling(to me) what looking at samples through a microscope would look like. I took several videos over the course of an hour. When I finally came inside I put one of the videos on my computer and pulled still shots from one of the videos and zooming in on them as much as possible. In one of those images, it appears to be a flat octagon object inside the fog. Thinking it was a satellite I looked up images of them online and it does not seem to be the case. I would love to hear if this could be explained, or if it is truly an unexplainable event. I will be paying more attention to the night sky for the object again in the days to come.

There was a circular shape ascending and engulfed in flames. This last a few minutes. Then it descended and burned out. The trail of burned out smoke descended them. It was one craft. Very brightly lit as if on fire. Then was quickly extinguished. Almost like a lantern.

This looked like an iridescent boomerang or like a stealth bomber with a sheath over it. It moved about the speed of a jet but silent and it was lower than the planes in the flight path . And you could almost see through it like a cloud but ghosts like. Like a plane with a sheet over it. Both myself and my husband saw this.

Object went overhead at amazing speed. Was the size of a night star and was out of sight in a matter of seconds. Definitely not a meteor as I observe many meteor showers.

I'm a military veteran and have seen numerous aircraft, obviously. I do not have ANY interest in UFO sightings, or any possible nonsense that gets people caught up in this stuff, which I think is ridiculous. I was bringing groceries in my house and I noticed an orb with scintillating red lights. Thinking it was a satellite, I dismissed it. But this would flicker in an oscillating pattern which is uncommon for a satellite - thus piquing my interest. I have a 40 x 60 spotting scope, and when under max view, an image of a nebulous orb-like, trans-morphic disc came into view that would look, for a lack of a better description, something extra-dimensional as the red to reddish orange luminescence of it was entering and exiting this dimensional simultaneously - very difficult to describe - not necessarily emitting objects, but more of a hue that changes color - almost as if watching a photonic effect waivering from a movie projector against a wall, only many miles! away in the sky, obviously. The object is stationary and is not trailing anywhere. I apologize if this is a poor rendering of what it exhibited, but that would be the best way that I can codify it into words, as it is nothing like I have ever seen before. I’m sure it is probably some new classified technology before it is really some alien craft lol – but nonetheless, I thought it would be worthwhile to document this as something in the future we can possibly look back on to either confirm nor deny the existence of said object, or said technology.

Vero Beach, FL
Saturday evening, two friends and I were sitting on the beach in Vero Beach, FL. As it grew dark, there was just enough light to see the white foam of the waves crashing on the shore. Suddenly, we all saw a very large translucent-white jellyfish-type object, flying north to south parallel to and close to the shore horizontally at an even speed, very low over the water. The “tentacles” of the “jellyfish” streaming behind it were uniform and looked as if they were made of lights. It cruised in front of us, clearly on a course, until it disappeared farther down the beach where the lights were a little brighter. My impression is that it was like a stenciled white pattern moving through the air. We are not sure if it was ship or an organized intelligence. It was otherworldly and seemed to have a non-physical presence. We estimate it was traveling at about 30 mph, but we have difficulty nailing down dimensions or exactly how close it was to the shore and how high about the ocean it was. Maybe 50' long and 20' high? Maybe 20' from the shore and 20' above the water? Impossible to say. But it was breathtaking and marvelous.

I was driving on I-95 with my mother in the passenger seat. I saw bright lights in the sky, sort of low. Lower than a plane but higher than a cell phone tower. The lights weren’t moving. I asked my mom, what is that? She thought it was a tower until we got closer and we saw it was a craft of some sort. It was hovering and was a triangle shape- not a perfect triangle- it had a point but the base was not a straight line. It had multiple circle lights on the bottom of the craft - extremely bright white lights. It didn’t move at all. I wanted to keep looking at it but since I was on the highway, I had to keep moving.

3 orange spherical lights moved from a south to northeast direction. These 3 moved in a group. Once these were out of my sight a 4th orange spherical light appeared over trees and followed the same path as the initial 3. The 4th light moved erratically from right to left as it headed in a northeast direction until it was no longer completely visible behind a distant tree.

Report: Orbs flying in triangle formation On Saturday October 17th, 2020 I was playing tennis at the Mercer County Tennis Courts in West Windsor, NJ when in between points I looked up in the sky to see something strange. The time was approximately 5:00 pm. The sun was still shining bright and there wasn’t any cloud coverage of note. It appeared to be a formation of white/silver orbs flying in a open triangle formation with approximately 2 orbs flying outside of the formation and possibly trading places with other orbs- similar to Geese switching positions but a closed triangle. The formation I believe traveled slowly from south to North, possibly SE to NW. It seemed to be flying higher than the local planes that fly by. I actually stopped the game to point it out to my opponent. From his vantage point, he could not see it. We both said it that it was probably drones. I did a Google search and found this video on some California orbs. They looked very similar. youtube.com/watch?v=ia5P5enwtPQ Would love to know if this was drones or something else.

On Saturday, October 17th, in Lithonia, Georgia, while driving on the I20 west, a silver object flashed in the sky, disappeared, and flashed again. This can be seen in the video in upper right of the sky. I noticed the object while driving and went home and checked my dash cam. The time and date is off on my dash cam but this was around 3:45pm.

I saw a large white circular light come below the clouds from my right. It zig zagged across the sky then zipped above the clouds diagonally to my left. It was a bit off in the distance and low in the sky before it shot off. The object seemed to be moving extremely fast and I only saw it for a few seconds. It was much larger than a star- a little bigger than a softball. The object looked a bit like a giant meteor but it’s movement of going up and down then shooting off upward to the left was perplexing. There was no sound. There was scattered cloud cover, but no rain or thunder.

Myself and a friend were driving down I-69 South from Bloomington, Indiana. To the right side, around where the spit occurs to 37 south and 69 south, both of us saw this object and were stunned that people were continuing to drive. It was extremely windy, so it was not a balloon. It made no sound, but it just hung stationary in the air. It didn't flow... nothing. I know the area well, it was in the direction of Crane Naval base and in a good area away where it could get a good visual of the base. I took photos.

I went hunting this morning right before daylight at 6:50-7:00AM. As I walked out of the house to make my way to the woods I looked up at the brightest star and saw a pulse flash beside the star in the sky. I had no idea what it could have been. I continued to my deer stand. I got settled and maybe 10 minutes had passed I looked up at the stars again and seen what looked to be a satellite, a small moving light way above where the range or distance airplanes fly coming across the sky. I saw the same flash or pulse of light again at a short distance from the object. The object immediately makes a sharp turn and changes direction.

WALKING DOG THIS MORNING AND VIEWED THE WESTERN SKY. STILL DARK OUTSIDE. I THINK IT WAS AROUND THE TAURUS CONSTELLATION. TWO DIM LIGHTS APPROXIMATELY ONE AT 11 O'CLOCK POSITION AND FOUR O'CLOCK POSITION...NOT CLOSE TO EACH OTHER... INCREASING IN INTENSITY AND SIZE...FROM A DOT TO THE SIZE OF VENUS IN THE EASTERN SKY. APPEARED AS IF COMING INTO EARTHS ATMOSPHERE...THE STRANGE PART IS THEY WERE MOVING TOGETHER IN TANDEM. TRIED TO TAKE PHOTO BUT IT DID NOT COME OUT ON MY IPHONE. WATCHED THESE OBJECTS GET CLOSER TO EARTH FOR ABOUT TWO MINUTES...THEN THEY DISAPPEARED COMPLETELY. THESE WERE NOT AIRCRAFT LIGHTS...SOMETHING ELSE.

New York City (Brooklyn), NY
5:30 AM. It was dark (sunrise wasn’t until 7:09 AM). As I was getting cereal out of a cabinet near the kitchen window, I noticed a single, bright light that appeared to be rotating but staying approximately in the same place. I heard no sounds. There were only two visible stars (probably because of NYC light pollution, and because there was a bright security floodlight on a rooftop corner off to the left), and they were smaller, dimmer, unchanging, and not flickering. As I watched, I did see a much smaller blinking red light moving slowly in the sky toward the right edge and then out of my visual field, which looked like normal airplane activity—the contrast between this light and the brighter, larger stationary one served to affirm the uniqueness of the latter. I got my phone and recorded the light for about 45 seconds, unfortunately without raising the window screen because doing so is very noisy. I called my husband to the window (he is skeptical about th! is kind of thing) and asked him what he saw. He described what I described and said that the fact that the lighted object was stationary—not requiring propulsion to stay aloft, and clearly “spinning”—he couldn’t understand what it could possibly be. He left the room, and I went to the refrigerator for a second, and then turning back to look out the window, the light had completely disappeared. (What appears to be fast-moving light at the end of the video is actually my phone moving.) I wonder if anyone else saw this.

Atglen, PA
I went outside to warm my car up and noticed a intensely bright white light in the northeastern horizon about a third of the way up into the sky. The light was pure white and extremely bright, like a pure white LED bulb. The light was not close to the land. At first I thought it might be Venus or another star, but it moved slightly and I had never seen a star in that position in the sky or at that magnitude. As I watched it, I noticed there were at least three other dimmer lights around it, and it looked like the lights formed a pyramid shape with this brighter light. I don't know if these lights were part of the first light or were separate entities. As I watched, another dimmer white light approached the first group of lights from the north and I lost sight of it behind or among the other lights. I had to leave and didn't see what happened to them. I checked the same area in the sky the next morning, but everything appeared "normal."
