Yorktown, NY
All I saw were these bright lights over the tree tops, getting closer and closer. As I was riding on the taconic I kept looking at them but they became blinding as they were very close. They were not from a helicopter as ther was no sound or wind just this brightness. They were different size round shapes. As I continued up the taconic I tried to see from my rear view mirror but they were gone.

We were on the small highway coming home, when I saw a somewhat rectangular object in the sky. It looked like a rectangle with a triangle on top, with two bright lights in the front of the triangle, and lights on the side. I know it wasn’t a plane, or at least not any plane I know of. As far as I know, planes don’t move fast and quietly across the sky, and planes don’t follow you home in the sky. I know what the planes near my house look like at night. This wasn’t it. I live near a Air Force base, that usually has big cargo planes flying above. You can hear them from miles away. This made no sound, and traveled quickly, but seemed to dart across the sky, seemingly following my car. Ps. I’m very sorry I cannot give my information to contact me, I am a minor, and feel uncomfortable with being contacted.

Star like twinkling - multiple lights, moving in a non-linear way at very high speeds and defying typical known flight patterns of aircraft or drones. High in the sky, could not make out any shape other than the light/lights. Saw it in the distance for almost 90 mins, saw it in the sky close enough to record video for about 5 mins

The best way to describe the shape of the object would be analogous of a flying submarine or plausibly a blimp. It was reasonably larger than a submarine but the overall shape is still fairly unique. It was semi translucent with a dark gray or black like color. It stayed very close to or within clouds that surrounded it, possibly resulting in the appearance of being translucent, however exposed portions still seemed to have observable characteristics of cloaking or some other technology to conceal it to some degree. It maintained shape as it was very rigid. It did not transform or alter form like the surrounding clouds. It was completely silent and has no apparent means of propulsion, lift, or other modern flight characteristics. Surrounding clouds were very still yet this object hovered in and out of view, elevated and descended by hundreds of feet, moved south by a few thousand feet, and then disappeared into the clouds and dense mist like clouds. Everything else in the sky was a pure white cloud. I’ve seen very similar objects being reported in the past and two similar object recorded outside the window of airplanes, one recent video and one from the 50s or 60s on standard film. The object was located a few hundred feet east of my house heading southbound.

Traveling east on Rt 36 I saw 3 silver teardrop shaped objects in the sky. Pulled into a parking lot to watch them. There were several other people watching them. After nearly 30 minutes they had moved very little, but then suddenly completely disappeared.

Brockport, NY
Returned home from walking dogs. Nearly pitch black save moonlight from half moon. I was bent over to unleash dogs and a bright light engulfed my surroundings. I thought it might be lightening. I looked up and saw what appeared to be a vertical stream of disturbed air in the western sky, similar to what a plane leaves behind. The stream was much lighter in appearance to the darker surrounding sky and looked like tiny particles. There was no airborne vehicle to be seen. The stream faded quickly within 9 seconds or so, all together. It did not start to fade at one end then the other, but rather the entire anomaly very uniformly. My dogs did not seem to notice the account, especially when they would normally be frightened of lightening and the subsequent thunder.

Just before dusk on September 7th of 2020 something that looked like a large glowing ball or disk passed silently over our house. The object which emitted no detectable sound was first spotted in the northeast moving towards the southwest. In addition to the glowing center two other extremely bight and disorienting lights pulsed alternating left and right on the sides of the object. The object was in view for approximately twenty minutes and seemed to move much slower than the sort air craft that are sometimes seen in the area.

Forest Hills, PA
On or about September 8, 2020. I was on my porch in Forest Hills, PA at sunset. I always have binoculars nearby. The sunset was beautiful and the clouds were pink. I noticed what appeared to be a white line in the sky. Kind of like the contrail of a plane. It was traveling horizontally and seemed little bit unusual. I watched it for a short while then it made an abrupt turn upward. I picked up the binoculars and saw that it became like a rocket with a large plume behind it. As it traveled upward, I watched it as the sun lit up the plume to pink. I could see that at the top it was cone shaped just like a rocket. I watched it until it disappeared into the cloud cover. I searched the internet for anyone who might have seen the same thing. How can a rocket take off in mid air? Can you tell me what I saw that day?

Bright orange colored object in the sky, still there and has been circling and going back and forth for over two hours now. Just northwest of the moon at this time. Has been making circular and unclear movements for over two hours now, but is definitely moving in weird directions. Not a plane or any aircraft.

On September 8, 2020, at 0600 hrs I was standing outside on Granite Street in Rockport, MA, 01966 . I observed two objects approximately 200 to 300 yards off shore Ease of my position that appeared to be facing towards me in a Westerly direction and roughly 50 feet above the water moving back and forth horizontally towards each other and then away from each other. Both of these objects were approximately 40 feet across. Each of the objects had a white lights in the center positioned in a 5 star pattern. I grabbed my cell phone and began recording the event . I was only able to record one of them as the other had moved behind a house that was within my viewing area. The other one I was able to capture a roughly 23 second video of. I later froze the recording and took a couple of screen shots which I am posting. I adjusted the contrast in one of the photographs posted to show more definition. The weather conditions were unfortunately heavy fog over the ocean and therefore I was not able to get a real clear focus with my iphone 6S plus.

We live on a hill with unobstructed views so it was pretty easy to spot the bright object. I know the military base likes to travel down towards our area to run tests a lot so maybe it was something they were testing. It was strange. I was creeped out so I shut the blinds tight and left the bathroom light on. We did not sleep much afterwards.

Multiple flashes, triangular in shape, Flashes were seen near the big dipper, Flashes were much brighter then any star we saw, night sky was a little hazy but the flashes could be seen through the little cloud coverage there was.

I was sitting on the beach with one of my best friends watching the stars and all of the sudden we saw this giant circle with a ton of white lights show up out of nowhere, we still believe it came up out of the Long Island Sound right in front of Port Jefferson NY. It flew away quite fast and looked like it was headed towards Montauk. About 5 minutes after we lost sight of it we saw a military jet fly over head at the fastest speed I’ve ever seen a plane fly. We ran back to my house to tell my family what we just saw and they didn’t believe us at first, up until they saw the short video clip we were able to record.

At approximately 9:30 pm, we saw one glowing orange sphere approximately three feet around traveling in a Northeast direction over Wallum Lake. It came from the West side of the lake to the East side of the Lake. As it approached the Wallum Lake Beach Association private beach it turned in a due North direction towards the Douglas State Park beach. It was soundless and moving in a straight line. IE it was not moving back and forth while traveling forward. It was not flickering but it was a consistent glow. After it passed the private beach beach area it completely went dark.

Bright orange circle in sky looked on fire, was flying very fast and as it turned in east direction, it slowed down and then flickered out and was gone.

Went into my house and got my binoculars and could not identify what it was. Object was perfectly round with brighter areas at top and bottom. Towards the bottom, there was a darker area. These features are noticeable in my photos. I immediately then went and got my Canon 7D camera and put on my largest telescoping lens, 300mm. I just had it serviced at Canon, so I know I could get a good picture. I have 40 pictures showing the features. Time of pictures was from 19:25 to 19:32. After taking most of the pictures, I went and got my neighbor. He looked at it through the binoculars. He also agreed he did not know what it was. We watched it for several minutes. We did notice it was moving really slow. Neighbor went back inside his house to contact someone with a telescope. I walked back to my driveway to use my truck as a prop to take more pictures, (about 10 second walk). I turned around and looked up and the object was gone.

circular bright lights on the outside occasionally one light sticking down lower from center, very slowly moving no exhaust fumes, pretty high up have crummy phone pictures. This is the second time we have seen one above our house. 5 years ago it was much closer, treetop, it was also seen in September at around 7pm. no noise.
