30+ lights first three were in a triangle formation and then went into a straight line followed by the others all in a straight line. They weren't evenly spaced but they came in groups of two or more. Moved across the sky from west to east. No sound but you could see a slight flicker of each light.

09/17/2020 4:44 a.m. I woke up from a crazy dream and stepped out onto my second floor balcony and looked up into the sky, there were heavy clouds in a section and behind the clouds I seen lights simultaneously fluttering on & off. Then these lights would move in different patterns as if communicating. Then while this positioned craft was fluttering it’s lites there was a circle of moving lights going back and forth. Almost as if the positioned craft was directing these other circling movements of lights. After about an hour or more the heavy clouds started to disappear. Whatever it was, used the thickness of the clouds to hover behind to do whatever it was doing. Very unusual activity I’ve never seen before!! Nor will I forget!

Saw big light over jamul. Thought it was a plane in flight path headed toward San Diego. I was walking to my car in the direction of the light. I kept my eyes on it to see if it was a plane. Then it disappeared.

Smithtown, NY
I was sitting on the beach with my friend, we saw a large craft of 7-8 fire balls shoot up out of the Long Island sound. It went up spinning. It went up a few hundred feet, then the fire balls turned off and turned into solid red lights (7-8 not spinning) the ufo then shot east at a high rate of speed, following was a f18 with full afterburner on. It wen directly after the craft. I took poor quality videos. (Three to be exact but short one second bursts because I was panicking)

I was outside in the front of my house at approximately 9pm EST on Wednesday 9/16/20 when I saw a small reddish orange object in the South West night sky. I initially thought it was a planet or star, but it was slowly moving towards the North and getting larger, which appeared to me as seeming to get closer. I watched as it slowly continued to move, until it stopped, almost as if directly in front of my view. It was about the same size as might a pea be if held at arm’s length. I got my cell phone camera out and started recording video. It was stopped for about 10 seconds, then it doubled in size (like a dime at arm’s length) without moving. It then slowly moved in a straight line to the right (north), stopped again, and then got as large as a nickel at arm’s length. The size changes were like a balloon quickly being blown up by a helium tank, not instantaneous. It then started to slowly move North as it gradually got smaller. It was at this time that I ! ran in the house and got my girlfriend out of the shower to come see it. When she came out, it had moved a lot further to the North, but it was still visible to her. While we watched it slowly faded out as if going behind clouds or something, but it appeared to be a clear night. It then reappeared, a tad bit larger than when last seen, but this time it was about a hand’s width at arm’s length further East, than when it disappeared. It then disappeared again. I never seemed to make a sound. I, nor my girlfriend, had ever seen anything like this before in our lives. I was, surprisingly, not afraid during the whole experience. We’ve looked at the video footage I captured repeatedly, trying to find an explanation. We’ve been scouring the internet trying to shed some light on what it may have been. However, we could only conclude what it was NOT. It didn’t seem possible for it to be a planet, meteor, comet, satellite, rocket, blimp, airplane, helicopter, drone, lantern, or balloon. It felt and continues to feel like an unforgettable and life impacting experience. I’m a Computer Engineer and my girlfriend is a Director at a Women’s Health organization. We were not under the influence of any drugs or alcohol, nor do we wear tin foil hats. We are now very curious about what we saw and searching for answers.

1 rectangular bright mandarin orange craft rapidly moving from NW to SW and blinked out suddenly in the south. 45 seconds later two seemingly identical in color and shpe crafts one above other flew same trajectory. Top flying craft blinked out, on then out for good.. Craft below traveled further south for a couple of seconds then blinked out for good. Within 10-20 seconds 3 jets took off from ground Davis Monthan and flew in direction of origination of 3 orange craft. 10 or so minutes later 3 jets left Davis Monthan following path of original 3 jets.

While driving on I 10 midday at about 75 mph saw a silver object in my rear view mirror. Specifically, could see a person wearing an oxygen mask and helmet in a clear domed cockpit. I glanced up numerous times into my rear view mirror while driving. Sighting lasted about a minute and then looked in mirror object gone. No noise heard.

A white disc in the sky flew from right to left and then vanished. We did not see it fly away, it just disappeared. The sky was open and there were no obstructions to explain why we could not see the object anymore.

A white, disc shaped object, moving slower than a plane flew in a strait horizontal line from right to left. It was not a plane drone or helicopter. The size was comparable to a jet in the sky.

Coos Bay, OR
I stepped out on to the deck at 5:30 AM looking north. I immediately noticed a light moving ENE. My first thought was a satellite. As I watched it for about 10 seconds, I noticed a dimmer light just ahead also moving in the same direction. They moved into the haze from the wildfires to the east and disappeared. I was just about to turn around and go back inside when I saw to the west 4 more lights moving in the same direction. They were fairly close together, though not in a straight line. They were visible long enough for me to retrieve my binoculars from the bookshelf just inside the house, and train it on one of the objects. It was bright white with no colors showing. I watched them for about 45 seconds until they faded away.

Turned sideways and that's when I saw the shape C.It continued slowly floating to the right stopped turned forward again and just sat there a sec. Then moved to the right again and stopped turned around and went back through same motion to the point it first stopped. Then gently flew back north out of sight.

Filer, ID
I went outside my front door and walked to my car to go to work this morning at about 0030. I looked up to admire the stars and noticed a stationary light formation that seemed too solid to be a regular star, especially with the smoke and haze from the nearby wildfires, sitting roughly 80 degrees into the sky from my position facing South by Southeast. Taking a moment to study it, I noticed it appeared to be an almost cylindrical shaped object that sat vertical in the air. There were four different color lights attached; red on the top, darker orange in the middle, and white on the bottom. The orange lights seemed to change intensity like something small was partially blocking the light as it moved around. I pulled out my Samsung Galaxy A50, set the camera to the highest resolution settings and began taking photos. This is the moment the object began to move roughly northeast in relation to its position. A streak of light, akin to a distant passing meteor, s! hot right in front of it and made the object immediately change direction. I checked the time on my phone, realizing I was running late for work at 0046. I drove eastbound on Highway 30 going into Twin Falls to get to work by 0106. I got out of my car and found that the object was almost directly above me and managed to take a quick video of it before it suddenly went brighter and disappeared. I'm including a map photo which shows my exact positions for both sightings and exact route of travel.

Me and my wife where taking our Individual vehicles home from Louisiana when driving through a thunder storm we both noticed strange colored lightening we’ve never seen before after I came around a curve the lightening illuminated a l’âge risk shaped danser with caps on the top and bottom and the middle disk shape was spin I g. My wife saw the lightening but saw the disk shape illuminated for seconds after the stone behind the clouds. It was slightly spinning and seasoning the color around, we both got home and shared our slightly different views of the same ufo event. The colors of the lightening and the ufo where shades of red green blue and violet all mixed together.

My partner and I, who were both psychology students at the time, were looking out the window and observed an orb of light coming toward us from the southwest to the northeast, at about 45 degrees angle of elevation, perhaps 3 to 7 miles in altitude. It was around 10pm, clear skies, in an urban neighborhood setting with the Appalachian mountains 3 miles south of us. Initially, the orb was moving slowly approaching our direction, then suddenly disappeared and instantaneously reappeared a few miles closer to us. It then lingered for about 30 seconds, disappeared again, and reappeared near to the spot where we initially first saw it. It lingered again for about 30 seconds before disappearing again. It did not reappear after this. We weren't sure if this was a single object moving instantaneously back and forth, or three separate objects in a triangular formation slowly blinking off and on. The apparent motion of the lights did seem to be triangular. The lights were white, and there was no rapid blinking or sounds coming from them.

I was camping and was awoken by a bright light emanating from a silver/grey saucer, flexible almost, that was gliding up and over a cliff. The cliff was bathed in a bright soft light. It lasted only a few seconds but I have no doubt what I saw.

My wife and I were on our patio talking. It was a clear night and as I looked at the sky I could see the typical stars and as I'm looking up I see a light moving across the sky at a very high speed from the south to the north at a very high altitude, Based on seeing aircraft at night flying at 35,000 ft, I estimate the object was close to 100,000 ft. It covered a large part of the sky very quick.

I stuck my head out the bathroom window of my 2nd floor home. I looked up as I usually see planes landing at JFK. These were not planes because I did not see the usual flashing wingtips and they were too close in proximity to be planes. These orbs were orange/metallic standing still. They seemed to appear and disappear several times then seemed to rise up and totally disappear. The location is over Canarsie/Jamaica Bay area in Brooklyn, NY. By the time I called my son, they were gone. I could not believe my eyes.

My wife and I witnessed an unidentified aircraft in zip code 19330. It was hovering approx. 800-1000 ft off the ground for approx. 3-5 minutes. My wife saw it doing a slow circular motion before I got outside. While we both watched, it traveled at a very slow speed, about 5mph in a very direct manner. When the craft was closest to us, we could hear a very quiet humming as if it was an efficient high powered fan. The craft had the lights which were blinking. The craft appeared to be about the size of a bi-plane or larger though we couldn't see the outline in the dark. It is our belief that this was a drone of some sort, but it was quite large and unidentified.
