Reading, PA
Unidentifiable aircraft hovering over Reading over hundreds of feet in the air, flashing red, green, and blue lights. It’s not flying in one direction it’s moving very strangely. Other people in reading are seeing this. I first saw it around 4am out of my window but it could’ve been there longer. It moves very fast.

I was standing outside of the trailer smoking a cigarette. I heard a helicopter lying around. I walked out from under the overhang of my trailer to look. It seemed to be following something because of the way it was flying. it would go to one spot, stand still for a minute, and then go to another spot. I noticed that it had to be following something flying in that way. I figured that it was chasing a car, but I happen to look up and across in the opposite direction of the helicopter. That is when I saw long cigar shape white or light-colored things flying in the sky. At first, I thought maybe it's Birds. then, I thought of drones but they had to have been huge because they were very high in the sky. They made no noiser. That is when they floated from one side of the Horizon across the sky the other side of the Horizon and just disappeared over the tops of the trees. I was watching while they were in a straight line at first. Then two went instead of one right in front of the other two, but perfect! ly spaced, flew in front of the other two but were offset exactly from the other two. Flying across the sky, they then started going one in front of the other in a diagonal line and they were in perfect format and perfectly in sync with each other. That is when I thought to myself "I'm going to report this."and That's when the helicopter followed them in the same direction. Then, It was over. I heard the helicopter for about 20 minutes longer, I did not see neither the UFOs or the Helicopter.

Oviedo, FL
Went outside with my parents and saw small, orangey glowing orbs in the sky. They moved silently, very quickly across the sky. We live near enough to Kennedy Space Center that I've seen launches all my life--this was nothing like that. No contrails, no noise. Swift and silent, then they vanished. I started taking some video--upon zooming in, they appear to be rotating saucers. A group of maybe about 15 passed by in about 10 minutes. Objects seemed to be clumped in groups of 3, in loose triangle formations. Noticed bad internet connection in the hour prior to the sighting, with dogs in the neighborhood barking as they got closer. Background: all adult household, two in their 60s, one in their 30s. Two Masters degrees between us. No history of hallucinations, drug or alcohol use, or paranormal encounters prior to this.

On September 18, 2020 at approximately 22:10 on my way home from work, I spotted what I initially took as cloud-to-cloud lighting. This time of year, there is a lot of that and rain. It only happened once so I thought nothing of it. A few minutes later, I see it again, but it makes me think it may be plane ‘headlight’. Both occurrences are happening in a southerly direction. As I work at a military facility I, again, did not pay close attention. Upon exiting the facility, I noticed that the ‘headlight’ I had seen minutes before was now more southwest, but moved more like a search light. We had overcast skies and I was not able to spot a helicopter or plane. It now had my attention as I drove, because while it resembled a search/spotlight, the movement was erratic. I hoped to see it again. I was able to spot it again approximately 7-10 minutes later and probably 4 miles from the military facility. The light was still located southwest. I turned into an ! industrial area with less trees and low building to keep it in sight. The light were now more to south again but, even with less light pollution, I was not able to find a ground light source. Spotlights that want you to find a location; I know from experience. There is a ray that radiates up into the sky. There was no ray from the ground. I noticed that the light was radiating, like a lighthouse (I am not on a coast and the direction from which the light was radiating was even more inland) rotating around a center point, but I could see the light all the way around without interruption. The radius of movement was far enough apart it required me to turn my head to follow it. I pulled over and began recording the light. I recorded for approximately two minutes. I began heading home, but thought it would be better to have another witness to the light and contacted a friend I knew would be awake at 22:38. She was able to see the light while we were on the phone and her home is approximately 3 miles from where I was located. She said her roommate had seen the light one his way home from a convenience store. We monitored the lights as I drove. Confirming we were ab! le to see the same lights and the same pattern of movement. The lights were spinning in a clockwise motion, rhythmically, and then it would stop, in an easterly position pause for 2-3 seconds before starting again counterclockwise. It would stop, reverse again, and rotate faster in the clockwise position before returning to the rhythmic spin. We got off the phone so she too could record a video. I had my 15 year old come outside and view the lights when I got home (I live about 8 miles from the military facility; my child’s friend had mentioned the spotlight was visible from her home 9 miles south of our location via a social media forum. I asked if my child was able to see a ray of light from the ground and no, was not visible. Now that I did not have to divide my focus, I watched the light, could see that the light seemed almost flat, and looked high in the sky. It was similar to shining a flat bicycle flashlight at the ground in front of you so the light spreads far and flat. I could see passing puffy clouds, but the light did not appear to penetrate the clouds so the light was not near me, and/or not below the passing clouds. The movement remained the same, but I was not able to record the light, as my battery was too low on my phone. While observing the light it appeared to get thinner, brighter, and/or wider. I was able to see that the cloud density effected the light penetration. The light was definitely coming from the sky and not the ground. There was texture/color variance to the clouds the light had been ‘white’ during most of the event. It appeared a little more yellow when it was brighter, however I do not know if that was because of the clouds or the light itself. The light stoppe! d one more time easterly, before it began to spin again and was gone. I stopped seeing the light at approximately 2300 and it did not return. I did not witness a craft of any kind during this encounter.

On September 18th at 9:11, I was sky watching and talking to my friend in Indiana about what we were observing in the sky that evening. I noticed a satellite moving through the bottom of the Bootes constellation located off the panhandle of the Big Dipper. I continued to watch that same spot and noticed an extremely high, dull orange, fuzzy-edged, oval shaped object move through the center of the 'star ring' in Bootes. It was impossible to estimate the height of this object but it seemed to be extremely high, possibly 40-70,000' moving very fast for that altitude. It was not bright and anyone that was not focused on that part of the sky would not have seen it. After the first object passed, I continue to watch that spot and another object exactly the same and on the same trajectory passed through also 3 seconds later. Continuing to watch that spot, I counted 21 objects move through on exactly the same flight path, three seconds apart, except that one object ! moved through at a slightly higher flight path. I was still on the phone with my friend and counted them out loud to him. I continued to watch the Bootes constellation but no other objects passed through while I was observing.

Prospect, ME
My Son & I were outside listening to an owl when I saw this very bright, what I first thought to be a star, come out of no where and quickly travel across the sky. It then suddenly disappeared into the milky way. I tried taking pictures with my cell phone and normally I cant with any other stars because they're not bright enough or too far away but I did with this. Also, when I took a picture of it; when I zoomed in,it made this huge hazy image appear on my camera & I couldnt take a picture until it had passed overhead. My phone has never done that when taking pictures. It also was not a shooting star. My Son and I have seen other strange things while laying outside looking up at stars but this by far gave me goosebumps and I knew it wasnt anything other than a UFO.

Conroe, TX
After conduction military aviation training flight, multiple lights were noticed moving erratically in the in the vicinity of Conroe Regional Airport (KCXO). The lights were observed by 3 personnel, unaided and appeared to be a at high altitude. The lights were observed to accelerate, stop, and immediately change direction. The personnel then used aided night vision and confirmed the same erratic behavior from the same group of lights. The lights were observed west of KCXO. Sky conditions were partly cloudy with visibility 6 miles or greater. We talked via telephone with the source of this report, and we found him to be quite credible. He is a military pilot, as well as an airline pilot. PD

Nampa, ID
Traveled west to East apx 80 degrees high. First noticed 2-3 bright flashes within 3 sec. continued to travel East with bright flashes occurring every 5-10 sec. object would swerve left and right as it traveled East. After a minute, it disappeared. At first we thought it was a meteorite entering atmosphere due to brightness but when it began to swerve, we knew it was not a meteorite. It appeared too high to be a helicopter and the flashes were too inconsistent and too bright to be aircraft strobes. This was witnessed by 2 career pilots and their spouses.

Came outside in my back yard and noticed a spherical light on the horizon. It floated slowly North to South following the horizon. In my opinion it was not a plane or helicopter because it had no flashing lights and moved way too slow. Then instead of moving horizontally it started to drift down past the horizon out of sight. The odd thing is I tried to record video of the object with my phone but even though I could clearly see it, it couldn't be seen through my phone camera.

Walnut Creek, CA
My wife and I go on a half mile walk around our neighborhood every night after dinner. As we finished our walk and were returning to our driveway around 8:15 PM, I am enjoying the view of the stars for the first time in weeks, as there has been terrible smoke cover for over a month due to the wildfires. As I'm looking south at the stars, I noticed one of these stars is moving across the sky. It looked JUST like a star, very bright, white light; however, it was 4-5x larger than a star typically looks. We observed carefully as it tracked overhead for 2-3 minutes; there were definitely no flashing lights or any changes in the brightness; however, it did appear to veer from side to side changing course several times (although this could have been imagined, I don't know for sure). About 75% accross the sky towards the opposite horizon, the light begins to shimmer into more of a reflection, and slowly vanishes in clear view, long before reaching the horizon. While! I am not saying that this was 100% a UFO, I am confident it was NOT an aircraft, missile, or satellite. It had no flashing lights, red or white; it made no noise, and was WAY too high to be a helicopter. It was dead quiet out, and if it was a plane, we can always hear their engines several seconds late. I will say that I do have a personal interest in UFOs, so it may be a confirmation bias; but at the same time, it was a very strange light that I've never seen anything like before, and did look very similar to other videos I've seen that made a strong case for being a true unidentified flying object. When checking off Characteristis below, this triggered a memory; about 2 minutes before seeing this light, i noticed an airplane with solid, yellow lights on the bottom in a triangular shape. I made note of this to my wife as it seemed odd to see a plane in flight with solid illumination lights on the bottom like this, in addition to their flashing red/white traffic lights. I am not sure if this is related or not but figured I should mention. It was travelling in the same direction as the ball of light, about 1-2 minutes before the ball of light was seen. This plane did not make a noise either (I guess we can hear planes if they are low enough/increasing elevataion? Must've been at cruising altitude but strange to see it close enough to make out these details and not hear it).

During the week of 9/13-19, I do not remember the date precisely approximately between the hours of 7:00-8:00 pm, I went outside to bring a bag of trash to the dumpster in my apartment complex. It was at that time that I observed a band of 5 lights which moved in an approximate west to east path. The lights moved in unison and I first believed them to be lights along a\the wings and underside of a small plane. As I live in relative proximity to an airport, small planes are a common occurrence. As the lights moved closer, I found that I could not make out any tail lights, nor could I hear any engine noise. I observed that the lights continued their course until passing directly overhead. Even as the lights were in a “High Noon” position directly above, I still could not discern any tail lights or sound. There can be traffic noise from the nearby highway at times, but did not notice any at the time, allowing for the realization of the absence of engine noise. The lights continued their course until finally passing out of sight over the roof of the building. As near as I can remember, all of the lights were of a white colour, or absent of any other colour. I can not approximate the height of the lights, but they were too low to have come from or to be heading to the airport unless they had just taken off or were coming in to land, but as the lights were not heading towards/away from the airport, but rather in a parallel direction, that did not seem to be the case. Also, at the height that they were flying, I feel that engine noise and/or presence of a tail light should have been apparent. The weather on the night in question was seasonably pleasant and dry with some noticeable light wind at times. At the time of the sighting, it had not yet reached a point of full dark, but the sun had already gone down some time before. A few stars were visible, I do not remember the stage that the moon was at at the time.The parking lot area where I was standing is quite well lit and the sky was extremely clear providing good visibility. Although I was unable to clearly make out the outline or shape surrounding the lights, they were in a straight line and left the impression of a wing or set of wings. The lights moved in unison as if affixed to a wing, traveling parallel to each other and not led by one light, with the other lights following. Normally I would ascribe a sighting like this to a plane as, as I have said, they are common and usually readily recognizable. In this case however, the above mentioned anomalies have left me with the impression that this was somehow different and that impression has been nagging and constant ever since.

Needham, MA
I was sitting on a bench with another parent watching our kids play on a playground. Two black objects slowly came into view in the sky, the other parent and I with our kids (4 witnesses) noticed them, flying spaced apart but in tandem at a steady pace in high altitude just about the cloud lines and dipped in and out of the clouds on their course, flying from the Southwest to Northeast, heading toward Boston. The two unknown objects were seemingly large and may have had large wings slowly flapping but from a distance from each other, like they were following each other. They must have been quite large. A commercial jet appeared and came into view half way though this event. The Commercial jet flew quite high in the distance but was lower, not in the clouds, that gave me/us a sense of the fairly large size to compare them to, But the two black objects were not as big and fast moving as the commercial airplane. It was odd. There was no tail and did not look li! ke a airplane. Very bizarre. I thought to myself it could have been some sort of angelic black creature or being with wings, but not white like an angel. I have no idea what we we saw.
