Davenport, WA
I was traveling east on Highway 2 from Davenport, WA. towards Airway Heights, WA. The sky was partly cloudy. To the east at cloud level - maybe three to four thousand feet - was a very bright shiny object moving very slowly to the west. From my perspective it was shaped like a woman in a dress and without legs or arms. I have never seen any craft that was that bright and shiny. It did not look like a light, rather a very bright shiny object; or better I describe it as extremely bright and shiny. Due to its height I could not discern size. It had absolutely no contrail behind or below it. Its movement was steady and not like a weather balloon. As the object traveled in and out of the clouds it did not have a change in brightness, telling me that its brightness was not due to the sun's reflection on it. Because I was traveling on the highway I lost sight of it as it continued west and I to the east. At the same time, far off to the southeast, towards the hills way south of Spokane I could see a very large bright yellow-orange ring suspended above the hills. From the distance it was, and in comparison to the mountains it eventually and slowly disappeared behind, I would guess that the bright ring was several miles in circumference.

Came down from the atmosphere, very fast rate at around 2000 ft is when is past the sky turned into day it was brighter than the sun. It was dark and then light. I have no explanation for what I saw, it was here for a mintue, it slowed down, unlike a meteor its speed slowed to like a car traveling down a high way. It was so bright, like you wish you had sun glasses, it was 230am, Ive seen comets, and satellites, this came down to 2000ft, I work in aviation. Can anyone tell me what I saw that night. It scared me so bad, I went to my room and locked my door

Quincy, IL
I was leaving my work this evening. I'm a broadcast meteorologist & amateur astronomer. A bright light, about twice as bright as Venus, caught my attention in the northwest sky. This light was not moving, about 40 degrees above the horizon directly northwest. It gradually faded after about 12 seconds and still did not move. I ruled out any satellite flare or ISS transit.

My boyfriend and I were visiting my family where I grew up. My family lives in the country, about 6 miles outside of town. We were outside letting the dogs out, and we were looking at the eastern part of the sky. We saw what looked to be the Little Dipper, but the stars were moving extremely slow down in the sky. After about 1 minute of watching the set of stars move downward, they suddenly burst away from one another and started flying erratically in different directions, and some even changed colors from a white color to more of a green/white color. For about 10-20 seconds, we watched them move about in said manner, and then they flew away in different directions back up into the sky where they were no longer visible.

As i was getting out of the hot tub (outside) i was looking up in the sky when is seen a fairly bright light moving east to west at a rate of speed that is not a airplane or a satellite...as i followed and wondered what that was, on the same path there were 5 of the same shape/light following, almost looking like a string of pearls. Never seen something moving that fast.Almost every night out in the hot tub star gazing and or watching them (tracking via app) air planes, but never seen this before

Over Douglas Dam. Egg like shape with three lights that seemed to be centered against the body of the craft. Hovered in one spot for appx. 12 minutes. Lights them dimmed, like a light dimmer in a room, before completely going out. Once the lights were off, the object completely disappeared.

Tonight I went outside to watch for shooting stars as part of the Draconid Meteor Shower with my son - 4 yrs old and my daughter - 8 years old. We had about 20 minutes to play with before they had to go to bed. We had a star tracker app that had notified me of the event. The area of the sky that according to the app we were supposed to look was almost straight up, our necks got sore, and we got impatient soon. My daughter and I started to think we were seeing bright flashes of light in different areas of the sky. Then in the southern sky we both saw what looked like a super bright star, pulse on, then quickly off. It did this just twice. We were discussing it excitedly when I notice an aircraft with only a dim light “around” it moving from our right or east heading west toward Scott air force base located about a 40 minute drive from us and shortly it crossed right over the spot in the sky where we saw the pulsating “star”. Periodically we see milita! ry aircraft crossing over our town and my wife has seen a B2 bomber overhead here once or twice. I then noticed two air craft behind it that had typical strobing indicator lights on them and as all three got closer it became clear that the two air craft in the rear were jets and were following or escorting the first aircraft. Do stealth b2 bombers fly with no indicator lights in US skies ordinarily, not from what I was able to find online? What was the dim warm light that seemed to at least partially surround it mysterious first air craft? There was a combined strangeness to it all: I had just said a prayer for us to see something (I was thinking a shooting star, but), a mysterious briefly strobing star caused us to look around to see the unidentified air craft, said air craft crossed the same approximate spot we had seen the strobing star, and the first aircraft had not indicator lights. Though I did not get a recording, I did attempt to record it with my phone, but! all I have for some reason is a single photo with a streak of! light a t the bottom.

My son and I were on porch at dusk and saw what looked like perhaps planes making trails in sky but realized they weren't moving to our naked eye except through the photos I took, being white light circles and only two of three made trails and close up in photos they looked like ufo type aircrafts, not planes.

Redding, CA
I was watching tv as they were showing live video from a camera on top of a building in Redding, CA, and I witnessed a saucer shaped object emerge from the area of the bottom of the screen and shot off to the right of the screen. Movement of the object was extremely fast, so I paused the live stream and rewatched it in slow-mo to get a better view. I took a picture of the screen that illustrates what I saw. I also replayed the video for my wife to see it as well.

NORMAN, OK
It was in the afternoon that I saw this UFO. It was approximately 15’ away and 4‘ off the ground. The rectangular object was approximately 5” high by 7” wide. See attached drawing. It was silent. I concentrated on it for about 7 seconds then the orb (approximately 3”in size) came from about 18” above the ground and went over the top off of the stationary object then under before leaving at about a 40 degree angle. Mufon “investigated” and deemed it was a reflection off a 3” solar light that is 15’ away or an airplane going over. Disappointed to say the least. I will take as many polygraphs as needed.

Hello, October of 2020 I experienced something I have never seen reported. I was outside my home, in the backyard, around 2-3:00 pm.I was sitting on my bench. I was looking to the left and when I looked back to the right I saw an object hovering appx. 4 feet off ground. It was about 15 ft. away. I saw it and concentrated VERY hard at what I was seeing. It was about 5 1/2” by 5 1/2”, it had three sections vertically.It appeared to be 3D. Cream colored. About 5 seconds into it being there a textured white “bumpy” ball entered above it about 4”.It came in on the right and circled the square object and left at about a 40 degree angle. The entire experience lasted about 7-8 seconds. I thought “My cell phone”!! My eyes darted to the right and when I immediately looked back it was gone. No sound whatsoever, no shadows. The really, really strange part is it felt as though I was being monitored or studied. I had my dog out back but he was nowhere near when this happened. I went in and promptly told my husband. It took me awhile to get the courage up to contact MUFON. They did send out an investigator and his friend.They took my info. When we went out back they found it suspicious that it really was 15ft. Like how would I know how far 15 ft. is? They also questioned why I didn’t know where my dog was. They took all kinds of photos and measurements. About 3 days later I got their decision on what it was. “It had to have been a reflection off of 2”x4” solar step light (15 ft.away in the daylight) or an airplane going over.” To say I was beyond disappointed is an understatement!! I have included a drawing of what I saw. I would take as many polygraphs as needed. I swear on my life that this happened and it happened to me. Thank you for whatever you decide to do with this. I pray that I hear something from you. Cleveland County

Baileyton, AL
None of the lights flashed or had typical airline marker lights. It didn’t make any noise that I could hear. I thought it might have been a drone but it was too large for the height it was at. I stopped in the middle of the road and started videoing through my open sunroof. The object had already came directly over me by the time I got the sunroof open and phone out to record. It was already passed me but had started moving back toward me, then it moved away from me again. In the video it looks like one light, I guess I wasn’t zoomed in enough on it. The video is a little shaky and it is still dark so nothing to compare the speed to. The video makes it look like it’s moving fast from side to side but I think that was me moving. There was a vehicle in front of me and I bet they saw it also. This was on Apple Grove road near the old Ryan school.

Was driving into work this morning. A bright light just appeared in the sky above me. It was about 100 feet in the air. It just appeared, seemed to hover for a second, then dove towards the earth , diving at a 45 degree angle. At first it appeared just as white light, as it was descending, I could see green light as well. It descended behind the tree line.

While traveling south on us 69 just south of lansing, Mi I saw a green light falling in the south west sky. It was falling in a bit of an arc and had a smoke tale. It was moving quickly. I observed it for 1-2 seconds before it faded out and disappeared.

10-8-20 at 2:40am I walked outside and saw a large bright green round light just above the horizon. It was moving toward the NW with a slight downward trajectory and disappeared behind a tree line. I live in a rural area and did notice there were none of the normal night sounds when I saw it and for about 10 minutes after it disappeared.

Around 1am driving around kanawha city my girlfriend and I saw a white light with a green hue around it streaking down toward the ground west of Charleston at speeds i have never seen before from any other aircraft it did not make a sound or an explosion once out of sight due to buildings. We then went driving toward where we saw the object and found no other lights and nothing was over the 911 police scanner

On the evening of October 7th 2020, a clear night, I began my observing run as an amateur astronomer. After my automated scope was set up and running, I decided to do some DSLR imaging of the Milky Way. I was using my Nikon 3200 camera with a William Optics Precision Refractor scope on a tracking mount. I was using Mars as a bright focusing point. During the focus procedure, while examining the image for focus and sharpness, I noticed an object that appeared to be out of focus in comparison to the rest of the image, which was odd. I removed the SD card to examine the image on my laptop. When I zoomed in on this oddity in the image, I can only say I was jaw dropped. There was a disk shaped object that just could not be in the image according to all logic. As an avid amateur astronomer for the past 30 years, I have taken tens of thousands of images and have never seen anything like this, and could not explain what I was looking at. My initial thought was that ! this was a lensing aberration, yet with the sophistication of the equipment and the amount of time that I have used this setup, that conclusion just doesn't seem to add up. Furthermore, it was a 9 second exposure image, meaning that the object had to be stationary in those 9 seconds, or it would be a blurry streak. If I had simply bumped the camera to create the warped shape, then everything else in the image would also be warped. But every other object in the frame is perfectly round. Any object of rational origin in or out of the atmosphere would not be still enough to create such a sharp image. The appearance of the object in the image implies that if it is not within close proximity, then it must be an extremely large object. Keep in mind, all of this was rattling through my brain within seconds of seeing the image. I immediately ran back to the scope, which again is on a precision tracking mount, so the position would not have changed. I shot additional images, only to! find that the object was no longer there. I grabbed my 100mm ! astro-bi noculars, visually scanned the area, and was unable to locate anything unusual or moving in the area. The object was simply gone. I went back to my laptop to re-examine for any other explanations, and I showed the image to my daughter. She is 16 years old, in an advanced high school program, and dedicates most of her time to her education. In short, she has a scientific mind, and was utterly blown away by this image as well. She has also been searching for an explanation, and is beyond stumped. I cannot dispute the logic pointing to the conclusion that this image defies all rationality. I am open to anything that would explain what I captured that night, but as of right now, I have no reason to believe that this is anything other than a physical object as captured in the image. As to what that object actually is, I will leave that up to others to decide for themselves.

Freedom, PA
When sitting outside at night tonight I witnessed one typical jet fly over head. The jet was recognizable and had normal noise coming from above. After the regular jet craft passed by residence, three smaller oval shaped crafts were spotted in the place of origin in the sky around where the jet first originated. They were all the same size. There was no visible trails coming from them and there was no engine noise heard throughout the entire sky. One oval had two white lights that flashed over to one red light, alternating back and forth every few seconds. The other two ovals had only one flashing white light that alternated to one red light every few seconds as well. Once the plane passed and the ovals were sighted the one with three lights flew straight up very slowly in a straight vertical line and the other two met lower in the sky towards the middle of the sky more. The oval with three flashings lights, that flew straight up then flew side ways/down to join the two lights lower down. All three of the ovals lights alternated throughout this entire period. After they were stationary in the sky for about a minute, the oval with three lights quickly flew on the path that the jet has just passed over a few minutes earlier, over the residence. The other two ovals stayed stationary for a few more seconds and then slowly drifted in the complete opposite direction.
