Indianola, IA
I was walking my dogs!at night and we were up on a hill—for a moment there seemed to be a shooting star flashing across the tree line. However, the light was green, seemed to be flying at a planned projectory, and it was too close and too bright to the trees to be a meteorite. It could have been in a V shape, it was too quick to tell. I wondered if it could be a drone, but there was really no one awake in the neighborhood to be flying a drone, and it was too fast.

On the evening of September 15th my twin sister, 16 year old nephew and I were sitting on the deck eating dinner. We looked up and saw a bright light that did not move. My nephew said it was a helicopter but I said it was stagnant and not moving. Then there was a big bright burst and it collapsed into itself and disappeared, just like a hyper speed scene in a science fiction movie. We all looked at each other and said, "What did we just see?" A few seconds later we saw it again in the exact same place in the sky! I ran into the house to get my husband, 8 year old son, 12 year old daughter and 13 year old niece. We all stood watching it in disbelief. My daughter took a picture and video of it with her iphone 11. Then it disappeared again. I sat outside for another hour watching the same spot in the sky but it never reappeared. My twin sister and I are both Federal Officers and I also work for an airline at the airport. We have sat on our deck almost every night for 6 years at our house. It has a beautiful view of the George Washington Masonic Temple. We live in close proximity to the White House, so a drone flies over our house every 20 minutes, it has red lights on it. A prison is also near our house; so we see many helicopters fly over our house with search lights. We are very familiar with how airplanes, helicopters and drones look. They are always moving, not stagnant and they all have red lights on them. So, that is why we took notice of the bright burst of light that was just suspended in the air with no movement. It was amazing, not scary but still makes you aware of how small we are on this earth. I don't know what it was, but with 7 other people who saw it, it had to be something unexplainable.

Ojibwa, WI
My wife and I were eating dinner outside overlooking the river to the south. I noticed the UFO over the trees on the Western horizon and alerted my wife to it. We watched as it randomly rocked and spun as it flew straight East until it disappeared over the treeline to the East. The UFO was a seemingly dark, perfectly donut-shaped craft that made no noise and made noticeably quick turns. I ran to the house to get my phone and caught the last few seconds of it on video. After some research it looks like and acts exactly like the UFO in Brooklyn from March 2020.

Me and my brother were sitting outside out place in the CD when this violent rumbling noise sounded, the ground didn’t shake but it was loud as hell, we both agreed that it couldn’t be a plane because their generally not that loud (my moms a flight attendent I’m around planes a lot) plus with all the smoke in the air it would’ve been impossible for pilots to fly in safely; and it was loud enough that it brought our neighbor outside to check it out. The noise lasted for a few minutes before vanishing. It also returned briefly about 20 min later, with all the smoke in the air anything could be flying above rne, and I don’t know any plane that is that loud and takes that long to fly down, let alone the fact that the noise didn’t decrease in the slightest thought out the couple of min we heard it, a planes noise is loud but it goes by as a plane flys by, it doesn’t linger.

As driving home from work on hwy 20 going west right pass loop 12 is my left distance I see a bright orange light pretty large and i see and work with aircrafts daily for work and that is no a/c it’s to close to the guard and the nose headlight is way to bright! But light gets bigger as it moves towards hwy 20. But as it flew over me I had sun roof open and no a/c commercial at that could fly that close to the Ground unless it was landing and I’m sorry there is no runway big enough nor long enough to accommodate that size of ac that was that close!! But evidently doesn’t land but weird thing is for that ac to be that close it made no sound! And bizarre a/c kept circling or idk if it was multiple but they kept going round it was strange , Erie , kinda ominous on why , and what’s the meaning.

Looked outside as an irregular light source caught my eye. Focused on a bluish green light that flashed across the sky (looking south) it seemed to fall towards the horizon or head south. It was mostly just a flash of light that seemed to be falling toward the earth.

A bright white sphere, which we at first expected to be a planet, was seen in the night sky near Zion National Park. The object slowly moved horizontally, stopped, then moved vertically, quickly, until it vanished.

I was walking my dog with my wife and kids when I noticed a bright light moving in the sky. There were no flashing lights, just a single bright light. It then stopped and hovered. At the same time, I noticed a helicopter flying toward the object. I thought maybe they were both helicopters, and the hovering object was waiting for the other helicopter, but the helicopter then passed beneath it and continued on its path, while the bright object remained. The object appeared to omit a bright light but I could not see if it was shining a light on anything in particular on the ground. It then moved at a very fast pace northeast some distance before hovering again. Occassionally it stopped omitting the bright light, seemed to disappear except for a faint blue light, and then would re-appear as a bright light. Eventually we could no longer see it as it moved further northeast. My wife and our three kids all observed this. The speed which it moved suddenly and without any sound, and how it would briefly disappear and then re-appear, and what exactly it was doing has mystified me and my wife.

I was awaken by the sound of tussling in the woods in my back yard. I went outside to see some of the neighbors lights had turned on. I look around and then look up to the sky to find an orangey object moving in sporadic patterns, zigging and zagging. It was 6:45 when I ran upstairs to get my wife who groggily went out to see as well. She witnessed and acknowledged the ufo and it’s patterns. She went back inside while I got my drone. During flight of my drone, I lost intros of the device and all signal was lost and I lost the drone. The drone I have is sophisticated with safe guards and intelligent capacities in place to avoid random signal disconnect, yet I was cut off from all signal. Lucky for me, I did manage to get some good footage and am able to zoom in the video. The graphics are pretty wild.

New Harmony, UT
We were walking in the early morning about 5:40 am while it was still dark. We saw two bright white lights high in the sky heading north following each other. Then another light appeared, and then more lights appeared one after the other. We looked to see where they may be coming from, and realized the lights materialized from the north side of the Milky Way. All bright white lights appeared to be the same size and brightness. After counting about 14 lights materialize from the west-northwest moving in a straight line following each other headed north we lost count because we could not figure out what we were seeing. The lights stayed in a straight line and moved farther away until we could not see them any longer. There was no sound. We were on a rural road, there are some houses spaced apart and it was dark around us. The sky was clear.

Duck Creek Village, UT
I am camping in Dixie National Forest near Duck Creek Village, Utah. I went out to pee while it was still quite dark (small crescent moon) but cloudless, and noticed what I first thought was the most unusual straight line of stars that I'd ever seen. In a matter of seconds I went from thinking it was a string of bright stars across the sky; then I thought they were moving; then I KNEW they were all moving in a straight path from south to north at an unknown altitude. If they had not been moving, they would have appeared to be just like a very straight line of bright stars in the sky. I could not see too far to the north in the direction they were traveling because of trees, but when I looked to the south, I could see where they were originating from. It was as if they were appearing out of something, but I could see nothing and there was no sound at all. It looked like they were just appearing or entering out of nowhere. They were mostly pretty equidistant from each other, but a few would appear more closely spaced than others. I'd guess that I could see about 15 degrees of the sky (out of 180) from where they originated to where I could no longer see them behind the trees. It took them less than 10 seconds to cover that! distance - again, altitude unknown. I guess it could have been a stationary military craft emitting munitions with tracers, but there was absolutely no sound on a very quiet and still night. Furthermore, the objects did not seem to be traveling in an arc for the distance that I could see them and there were no trails. They just looked like bright stars that were moving across the sky. Coolest thing I've ever seen in the night sky, that's for sure. I thought of going back inside my RV to get my phone for pictures, but nothing I ever try to photograph at night can be seen, I didn't want to miss "the show". If you find out that there were military exercises in the area or any other information, I would like to hear about it. By the way, I do not drink or do drugs, nor am I on any medications. Thanks

Sun Valley, WA
Last night, I was letting my dog out to go potty around 4-4:30am in Sun Valley, Idaho (Elkhorn area). I looked up at the stars which was great because there was no smoke - I could see the stars! I thought I saw a satellite and then I saw a second one right behind it in perfect alignment and then a third, a fourth and I counted at least 12 of them (maybe more) - all in a perfect line moving at the same pace. If I could measure from my vantage point and use my fingers they were about an 1.5 inches apart. I couldn't hear them, but they looked like a satellite (but moving too fast for a satellite), were in perfect formation and so many of them! It was CRAZY town!!! I wish I had my phone to record it, but it was in the middle of the night and I was letting my dog go to the bathroom and from now on, I'll always bring my phone with me - trust me!!

Summerville, SC
I was going outside at 10:50 PM to let our dog out in our backyard. As I was outside I saw a lit-up ring. It was late at night so I thought I was seeing things, so I call my husband to come out, and I get binoculars. I go outside and it is still there. I take my binoculars and see it and for about 2 minutes it is just still. It was very big though. On the UFO I see yellowish-orange lights with a red tint on it. So about 2 to 3 minutes later it starts moving super fast. It jerked from side to side, then jerked up and down, and it kept repeating the same motion. About 11:10 PM we went inside cause we were tired. But we could still see it as we were going to bed. We don't know when it went away. I will say that my husband might have seen a shooting star across the sky, so we don't know if it could be a meteorite, but we never saw it fall to earth.

I was just in the right place at the right time and as i look up into the night sky i notice something moving across it kind of looking like a shooting star, i got my friends attention to look at what I'm looking at to make sure I'm not tripping, he told me that its not a shooting star, then it looks almost like an airplane but I can still only see the red light or flames I'm not really sure, i started to wonder if it was a plane that caught on fire and then suddenly the object turns those red flaring lights off!! It was almost like that they noticed us watching it and then tried to hide itself, we couldn’t believe we were witnessing this and then it literally just glided into a cloud and it was gone!! But once the lights shut off of this said object we could still notice the shape of it and it was relatively close but only when it was directly above from where we were standing at, I first noticed this moving from the east direction probably a mile away from! our coordinators, i have never witnessed anything like this ever before and it has my full attention I'm very intrigued

I took my dogs out for their evening walk. I looked up at the night sky and saw all these lights in the sky. Purple,orange,green, blue, pink and white. Formation of 3 in a line and two then 3 again and so on. The lights were moving in such a pattern I knew it wasn't airplanes. No sound at all. I got a picture but it only showed white lights. A few seconds of video one can see movement.
