A bright round light that turned into three or four separate lights and came back together. It darted around the sky above the house and come to a standstill. It would break apart into separate circles that would form a line, 2 or three circles and come back together as one circle of light. It was about five minutes of the sighting and it wasn’t putting off any noise, it was very quiet outside.

Our back patio faces east, the sighting was south east of us. My mother said “what is that light in the sky” I brushed it off saying probably a plane, but there was no side lights on it for wings and we are not usually on a flight path. It was a round, yellow light traveling vertically. We were staring at it trying to figure out what it was and then it vanished into nothing.

Standing on my back steps outside and was looking up at the sky close to where the sun was. The sun was just behind the top of a tree branch and is why I could stare right in the vacininity of the sun. While doing so I observed countless white orb like objects. Some were streaking by and some going very slow. I even seen some intersect each other, stop for a second and shoot off the other way. After observing that for about 20 minutes with binoculars, I went and got my wife. She also observed the white orbs. But then it got very interesting. While me and my wife were still watching, I seen a darker object which at first I thought was a bird. I kept watching it and I noticed it was moving oddly and in certain movements there was a very bright reflection coming off of it. It became apparent to me that it wasn't a bird. So I grabbed my binoculars for a closer look, and to my amazement it was in fact a flying saucer in every sense of the word. When observed thro! ugh binoculars it was a reddish metallic color and clearly a saucer shape with a dome on the top, all seamless. The object was visible for about 30 seconds or so but I only observed it with the binoculars for about the last 5 seconds, since I thought it was a bird for a majority of the time. It was truly amazing. There is more oddities to the story but that is the jist of it.

At aproximatly 5:36 am there was a bright flash in the south of the sky that then streamed down with a fireball look. Possibly a meteor/fireball. PD

The objects flew along the coastline north to south. From our vantage point on the cliff I’d estimate their path approximately 45 to 50 degrees above the horizon. They appeared as bright points of light, brighter than any star in the sky at their closest proximity to our position. They came as dim points of light from the north, grew amazingly bright on near approach, and dimmed fairly quickly after passing, maintaining a steady high altitude throughout...they dimmed to nothingness at altitude, not disappearing behind tree line nor mountaintop...therefore I’m thinking they surely must have been traversing at least in the upper atmosphere, perhaps at near-earth satellite altitude. The event took place in 20 seconds, no more than 30. Their speed? Impressive, is all I can say. My first thought was that what we witnessed was a SpaceX satellite array. But after some Googling I’m not sure: Satellite arrays appear to travel in single file...it appears I’m going to need a little more research! My wife and I are middle-aged professionals; sober star-gazers...but certainly not trained observers of aerial phenomena. I have tried to portray the gist of what we observed as clearly and succinctly as possible. I hope it is useful. We will check back with this website in the near future to see if perhaps others had a similar sighting. This was my first potential UFO sighting and first visit to site...thanks for the hard work and for being here!

This bright orange/Red "Chevy emblem shape shape" object was moving vertical and horizontal. This activity continued for about 5 minutes. The night was clear and the stars were visible. This object then started to to appear like a burning fireball moving very quickly in a unusual pattern. I was able to capture this object via cellphone (photo's) as well as video's. I also captured what appeared to look like a dropping worm like object. The other photo's taken are nothing I have ever heard or seen being reported.

There is a big ship I see almost every night in the distance, Last night the one I see every night was in a different spot and looked like it had beams coming out of it and it was scanning for something. I went inside to watch from my window cause it was cold .. I also was pointing my laser at it while looking at it threw my rifle scope, couldn’t find my binoculars.. anyway while inside it jumped from one spot to another really quick and it’s beams that were scanning pointed toward my yard so it made me look that way when I seen a smaller one in the shape of motor cycle helmet is best I can describe it with a bright blue light fly about 50 feet away from me straight past me.. my step child was there with me when I ran out the door frantic to see it and she got to see it as well.. she was laughing at me and her mother about the big shipboff in the distance a little earlier and now she believes and was just as freaked out as I am and my girlfriend is.. ! the big ship i can see almost every night it is not close enough to get a picture of but binoculars can see it. It is triangle/ star shaped. I wish I had a telescope with a camera and someone to help

Last night I fell asleep with my bedroom window open. My neighbor has a loud screeching bird that woke me around 10:30-11pm. So I closed my bedroom window. After I closed and locked it, there was a bright light coming into my room. Like a helicopter was shining it’s light right into my window. So I got back up to look. When I peeked through the blind, there was a white light the size of a basket ball in the air heading towards my neighbors house. I could not see it once it passed my neighbors house.

I was taking out the trash when overhead I saw bright red lights. There were more than ten visible. They were part of an oval spacecraft moving very slowly to the east. I watched overhead for a while as they moved away from my house. A few times some of the lights blinked white but then turned red again. It turned twelve degrees at the last second and sped up.

Drove down Ferrell Parkway to Princess Anne road and could see a bright orange glow off in the distance. As I drove near Salem Road and turned into a neighborhood, I could still see the orange object in the sky. It was bright, yet the crescent shaped moon was to my back as I faced to see the object. My compass on my phone had the object as exactly East, perhaps closer to the ocean. The object disappeared and faded away as if it switched off a light, before I could take a picture.

Husband and myself were watching a supposed satellite in the southern sky, then saw four or five flashes each several seconds apart. At first thought something was breaking up in the atmosphere, but then saw the satellite change course from north to east, then north, and last saw it zipping off west. Did we witness a battle in space?

We were coming back outside to stoke the fire and have a seat. I looked above us to the night sky to see a solitary bluish light about 2 miles about my head... sry I don't know wind/air travel measurements. "What is that?"I told my boyfriend to look and to our amazement it hovered above us and start to head NE, slow enough for me to run into the house and get 2 sets of binoculars so we could get a better look. Once zoomed in with a 10×50 I could barely see the craft that carried this blue light. Also, the aircraft made no sound. Not one! Above the light was pure shadow. I couldn't even make out the shape. For the rest of the night planes of all sizes went by because I live next an airport about 2 mi away; each one that went by i stated "thats not what it looked like." he smiled,"Come on. U already know." We do have a video of last night's event! I also have a video of the very first "ones" I saw a few years ago. To this day I have seen nothing like it!

*Had been walking in the opposite direction on 54th street, but were facing the East when we witnessed the object Description of object: pink/orange light, which we had mistook at first for a car headlight. The light grew in size quickly (less than a second) froze in place and expelled a black form in a slithering manner. The whole object looked to be quite large, over the size of a large truck. As soon as it made these motions, it froze in place and disappeared. *no noise *the experience was very short *we were est. 100 yards away

it started as three hovering, bright gold/white lights in a triangle formation just above Snohomish river/farmland. One became dim after 15 mins and took off to the south. Then the next left going south as well. One remained stationary and finally a new one appeared out of no where. It remained stationary with the 3rd light and then both became dim and moved off South. No clouds seen or airplane noises. Stars and planes were visible during the entire episode.

On September 20, 2020, my wife and I were watching the sunset on the Blue Ridge Parkway at mile marker 242 outside of Sparta, NC. Right after the sun had set below the mountains we noticed a bright, silver looking object in the sky over the mountains far off in the distance and it was long and thin from where we were sitting. It traveled across the entire horizon in a matter of minutes and then we noticed 4 more of these objects appear out of nowhere and proceed in different directions. We only got photos of the first object but decided to return the next evening for the sunset and see if we saw them again. On September 21, 2020 (from the exact same location) I videoed another object that must have been the size of a city traveling from North to South in a matter of minutes it covered the entire horizon, which after doing the math, meant the object was traveling at approximately 72000 MPH. That is the same speed the earth travels around the sun.

09/20/20 Riverton WY, around 3:30 pm. Walking around outside in town limits. Looked toward the east and witnessed a dull metallic spherical shaped object, stationary in the sky. The object had no lights on it, but reflected light from the sun. Used a light pole as reference, determined the object was not moving. Watched for approximately 10 minutes while moving to 2 different angles. After 10 minutes the object was lost in light cloud cover.

My wife and I went into the hot tub during a bright sunny day in September. There were no clouds in the sky. The sky was blue. We were in for about five minutes or so when I noticed a small cloud come into view over to the right. I kept my eye on it. I realized that it had stopped. How could a cloud float to a position then stop in midair? There was a breeze, so you would expect to see the cloud moving especially when it floated into view in the first place. I looked at it intensely. I asked it to show me some lights. All this time I did not mention it to my wife. She was enjoying her hot tub time and I did not want to disturb her. As I looked at the cloud, I could make out a triangle shape in the small cloud. There was some dim glowing light activity at the tip of the triangle behind the cloud. It looked like some movement of white orbs. It was slight but I could make it out. The triangle shape then became more profound and I noticed that in the background ! was another outline of a triangle that was getting smaller. An invisible triangle was rising straight up into the sky. The triangle shape had lifted out of the small cloud but still had cloud around it. I could see the original triangle shape in the cloud start to dissipate. I watched the shape rise into the sky, but it no longer had any cloud around to reveal its shape. It was gone. About six to eight seconds after that, the cloud that was standing still started to disappear. I knew that it was going to do that. The cloud was gone. There was a triangle shape that was hiding in that small cloud. Maybe it needed to become visible to interact with the glowing objects that I saw.

It was in my back yard it looked like a silver balloon at first but it was moving to fast. I went in my house to get my wife to show her. There was a jet plane fling by this thing was going faster than the plane it was flying west and then zoomed out of sight in a second.

I may be the first to witness a phenomenon such as this. My cameras night vision captured 4 lights circling around my door in perfect sync they converted to 2 lights. They were the size of a quarter and in the shape of a hockey puck. When enlarged it does not appear as being a bug or creatures of any kind.

The craft flew over my condo complex approximately one hundred meters above me traveling at around 150 miles an hour. The shape was round with a slight glowing orb around it. It was about ten to fifteen meters in diameter and produced no sound at all. Being in combat arms in the US for just over ten years. This was not from here.
