Tyngsborough, MA

Took a picture of the moon with an object below it. I thought the object may be a star or planet. The shape looked to be oval to round and gold, beige in color. I did not see it with my naked eye after taking the shot. [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Possible]

Groveland, MA

The uppermost light increased in speed and shot straight up into the atmosphere and disappeared out of sight. Followed by the next object which increased in speed and shot up out of sight, followed by the next and so forth until all six were gone. It was incredible to see. I had my girlfriend come outside to see and she said oh my God! It was quite a sight. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Probable]

A fleet of 20 blue orbs in a zig zag pattern going east, in front of plane UAL2049.this is the third time it has happened in 2023 each time in different spots in the sky and at different heights.

I was stargazing when I noticed a Orange colored orb moving past a star I was looking at and it kept moving until it disappeared going east

Valley Stream, NY

I looked up and saw what at first was a bright light that appeared to be hovering. I was heading north at about 20 mi. per hour and slowed as the object oddly was getting closer and I could see far more detail. It was triangular and had five circular lights beneath. One light in the point of the triangle, 2 lights toward the center, and 3 lights at the bottom. I have never seen a plane with a configuration like that….nor a clearly triangular aircraft (resembled a stealth warplane, but larger. In my vision the aircraft seemed oddly to be moving very slow….then suddenly accelerated at an unusual rate of speed….over my head going west. I tried to stop and recapture vision, but it was gone

Crossing the sky heading from West to east changing altitude rapidly. Flying lower than a commercial or military aircraft. Steady white light. Then dissapearing suddenly.

Fairmont, NC

At approximately 1:45pm, in Fairmont, North Carolina, I saw a small light colored object traveling very very fast in a NW direction. It was either round or square, not oblong like a plane or jet. I'm guessing it was at 30,000-40,000 feet. As I was watching it, it disappeared in an instant. That is what makes me think it was a UFO. An aircraft would be visible for quite a longer distance till it was too far away to see. The object I saw simply vanished from the sky.

Storm Lake, IA

I was taking a walk, and noticed the white object. 2 others walking with me also saw it and speculated that it might be a spy balloon. It didn't move much over the course of our hour-long walk, sometimes disappearing behind clouds, but was still there when I went in at 1 p.m. [NUFORC annotation: Balloon - Possible]

Cape Girardeau, MO

I viewed the object from the Kentucky Fried Chicken building on William St. in Cape Girardeau, MO. on 11-29-2023 at 12 noon. I first noticed white birds circling a parking lot street light at 2136 William St.. Then, above this lamp, I saw a vertical cylinder shaped object constantly rotating and going in and out of visibility as it turned. It was shimmering in the sunlight with sparkly light and silver spots then completely disappearing and reappeared over and over. It resembled a translucent veil covering a tin can. I estimate the size as big as a box truck. I watched it for several seconds trying to decide if I was really seeing it. I was with my father at the time but he was unable to see it as his clear view was blocked by a sign. When I reached for my phone to snap a photo the object vanished. Immediately, I noticed two helicopters in the area and counted 17 other aircraft within 30 minutes of the sighting, which was weird for Cape Girardeau! I am not crazy and know what I saw. I did check with the locale police department, but they had no other reports of sightings. I included a pic of the exact location where I saw the object above the light in the center of the photo.

Clinton, MA

My dad was driving me to work and he said what the hell is that and in the far distance there was a big shiny metal ball. As we were driving it just stayed there we only saw it for like 10 - 15 seconds and as we drove trees got in the way then we couldn't see it because the location of my work was in a different direction. i cant really say it was a craft or something since we didn't see it move or anything and i didn't get an open view but it was very strange none the less. No doubt that it was a shiny metal sphere though.

Saluda, SC

I woke up on the couch in my living room, to seeing changing colors of lights coming from above the house from outside my window. I remember looking at my phone and it said it was 4:54 am but I don’t remember anything after. I then woke up again in a panic, around 6:20 am, not remembering until later in the day what I had seen.

Lawrence, MI

I was driving westbound on 94 towards Chicago. Suddenly 6 bright lights appeared above the horizon, not moving and in a vertical formation. The lights stayed still for at least 30 seconds and my eyes were glued to them. Eventually after about 40 seconds the top light flickered, then disappeared, then the bottom light did the same thing. The remaining four lights all followed suit from bottom to top in about 10 second intervals. These lights were not moving at all and appeared very far away in the sky. Even though they were in formation, they were not close together and had significant spacing in between them - which is why i dont think this was Star link. [NUFORC annotation: Flares - Possible]

Prescott Valley, AZ

While in my yard with my parents we noticed a round, silver, craft in the sky to our North. It was moving East at a steady speed with no noise. After moving East in the sky for roughly 45 seconds (from when we first noticed it) it made a 90 degree turn south towards us before making a second 90 degree turn back to it’s original path East. It disappeared behind clouds a few seconds later.

Prescott Valley, AZ

There were 3 of us that saw the object during the entire time, roughly 45 seconds. We exited our home into our front yard when we noticed a silver circular craft moving East at a steady speed but there was no sound. It was moving East for about 20-25 seconds and then made a 90 degree turn South without changing speed. After about 10 seconds it made a second 90 degree turn back towards its original East direction before disappearing behind clouds. It did not appear on the far side of the clouds. I was able to film the craft using my phone, but I was having trouble keeping it centered so I stopped filming.

I decided to film the morning sky before entering Golden Gate Bridge from SF side and saw with my eye and both the camera the very fast flying dot through all the sky It seemed too fast to be something human made. It had weird trajectory and it is not the camera defect, because I saw it with my own eye while filming. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Certain]

New Lenox, IL

At 6:00 am this morning I was out walking my dog as usual. I always find myself looking up at the sky while he is sniffing around. On this particular morning, I looked up and immediately noticed a large bright deep yellow sphere with a thin red bottom, with a long firey tail traveling from the north, heading south. I knew it was not an airplane. I see many planes in the sky coming and going from Midway and O'Hare airports. This object did not have any flashing lights whatsoever. I also knew that it was not a shooting star. I have seen several of those when visiting my parents in Arizona. I immediately thought that it was a comet until it went into a descending diagonal flight, paused very briefly, dropped into a vertical flight, and then flew parallel to the ground heading south. There was absolutely no noise coming from this object. It was at this point I noticed an area of the sky become distorted and the object flew into it and then disappeared. Special note: This object maintained its original shape and appearance throughout my observation of its flight.

Taylorsville, KY

I was driving north on Highway 55 when a large fuzzy light appeared in the sky just below the top of the windshield of my minivan. It was darting around erratically, then disappeared. It was very confusing. Then I saw 4-5 of the same kind of lights doing the same thing, but disappeared more quickly than the first one had. I’m unsure of the exact order, but I believe I saw a single light 3 times and a group of lights twice within a 1-2 minute period.

Manteo, NC

3 bright white objects traveling from the north to the southeast. They were not traveling in a straight line and were staggered in distance in unequal distances. Observed for about 40 seconds and videotaped for 25 seconds until they were out of sight. I verified it was not Starlink and using satellite tracker app verified that there were no satellites in that area.

Bandon, OR

I was standing on my front porch and heard a helicopter coming. So I looked and it was the Coast Guard heading right towards my house from the Northeast heading southwest. All of the sudden there was this white cigar shaped thing (with what looked like a long window in the middle of it) coming straight towards the helicopter from the southeast going to the northwest. I thought for sure it was going to collide with the Coast Guard. Thankfully, they were much faster than the white cigar shaped thing. The cigar was going so slow that I could not hear the helicopter any longer. I saw it long enough to open the door holler for my daughter to come here close the door turn back around and still see it before it went behind my tree. The sky was blue no clouds at all, no birds. I could see it through my apple tree branches. It was quite thin compared to the helicopter. The I could see what I can only sense was a window right in the middle, shaped like a cigar. I could see the white all the way around the window. It had no wings, no tail, no sound at all. It was one single object. It was much slower than the helicopter. It had no lights. I thought if it was an aircraft it would have been illegal for them to fly so closely. It was also very low to the ground.

Gresham, OR

White light in the sky. At first glance the light almost looked like a star seen during the day, however there were no other visible stars. The light did not appear to be moving. I was driving and temporary lost sight of the object after a few minutes due to my line of sight being blocked by trees and buildings. A minute or two later when my sight was no longer obstructed, the light had disappeared, however in the same section of the sky there was now two fighter jets moving in the direction of where the light had been.
