I was observing the NE sky and observed a bright object appear that was clearly not part of the Big Dipper, Little Dipper and Draco constellations. Not to mention it was too early to start seeing any of those stars. The object was as bright as Venus would be at that time of day, but it was moving in a south westerly direction. The movements of the object were slightly erratic and it appeared to speed up and slow down. After watching this object for a couple minutes, I concluded it was not a plant, star, or satellite, so I hastily set up my Celestron telescope and was able to view the object for about 10 seconds before it disappeared. The object had an orange hue, was roughly cigar shaped and one end darker than the other. The interesting part is that there was another, much smaller object moving with the main object. The smaller object was circular in shape and had the same orange hue. Here is the interesting part... The objects were connected. I could see w! hat appeared to be a rigid rod connecting the two objects, the smaller object was definitely tethered to the larger object. The rod shaped object had the same orange hue. How they moved together is what blew my mind. The larger object controlled the smaller object in a manner much like a person would do if they were walking and playing with a yo-yo at the same time. Specifically, the smaller object appeared to swing forward and alongside the larger object, in an arc, until it was in front. As soon as the smaller object reached the front, it would start swinging backward, following the same arc until it was behind the larger object. As soon as it reached the back, it would swing back forward. Another way to illustrate this motion is that it was like how pendulum swings relative to the clock face on a grandfather clock, but with an arc of 180 degrees instead of 20 or 30 degrees. I watched this cycle for several iterations before it disappeared. I wish I had a camera connecte! d to my telescope because this would have been amazing footage! . This w as definitely NOT the SpaceX satellite train. I am an experienced star gazer/amateur astronomer.

Lahaina, HI
Looked up and saw a bright light (like a bright star or as bright as a planet in the distance). It was northeast over the nearby mountains (no houses or light back in that direction). It shined bright and moved directly up into the sky. As it moved, the light got smaller but we could still see it moving. Eventually, the light moved too far for us to see it anymore.

For over 2 years, I have been encountering very strange but real human looking creatures and robot beings in almost everyday basis. They speak, they write and they come to planet earth in everyday basis or they live here. I record their voices and take pictures of them. I am only sending you one but I had taken hundreds of pictures and recorded at least close to 100 videos of out of this world creatures, I call them spirits.

Rochester, NY
Clear day, early morning, noticed a strange occurrence outside 4th floor apartment window. Two objects, at a fairly high altitude, were moving horizontally across the sky, zig-zagging between other and disappearing and reappearing suddenly. They appeared as lights or orbs, with perhaps some iridescence, and moved quickly across the sky and out of our sight line. There was no noise and the movements were quick and light, not like any drones or similar technology witnessed before. The second witness ran downstairs to identify the objects closer, at first they only saw one object. It seemed to appear and disappear, and it started going towards a newly visible second object, then both sort of faded off into the same direction, and disappeared from sight. They had remained in the sky for several minutes before fading off as well.

Tom Bean, TX
Late in the morning, there was a large cast of clouds rippling across the sky covering the face of the moon and sky blocking out stars. Close to the halo produced by the moon a ball light mimicking a star moved beneath the clouds and hovered for a minimal amount of seconds as if scouting, and then moved back above the clouds out of sight. As if it was caught in the sky and needed to cloak in the cover of the clouds. This was not a star for it broke the plane created by the clouds and appeared beneath the blanket of clouds and went back into above the casting of clouds.

Tom Bean, TX
Over the dense country area above the two towns of Tom bean and Van Alstyne, Texas I observed three separate orbs clustering in one spot in the sky then departing in similar patterns until they disappeared. One was a red orb mimicking a tower beacon light, started changing colors and portraying patterns in its strobe like fashion flashing then to solid red again as it left the area of the tower, the second orb stayed bright white with little strobing events and scouted in another direction from the red tower light. And the third orb was slowly pulsing drifting slowly across the night sky and began to get lower and closer to the car,. As I was driving towards it I flashed my lights on and off at the orb. It seemed to drive towards me and when I turned my lights off the orb disappeared. This orb stayed a bright white light and floated close to the light tower, as if each orb was mimicking the lights it saw around them and then changing as they flew away.

I was running around bde Maka ska in Minneapolis. As running a 12 year old kid on a bike stopped me, somewhat weird because it was 12:30 am he said excuse me and asked me whether this disk in the air looked like a UFO. I almost ignored him but then I did see it. You could see 12 or so lights in a disc formation. I took a couple photos with and without night sight. I also took a selfie because I wanted to prove more that it was real. I'm not sure if that does.

I live off of route 101 East in NH , which goes to the ocean. I was going out around 11:00 p.m. to smoke a cigarette and I looked up and saw what I thought maybe a star at first but it was blinking and looked like it was moving. I knew that it wasn't a plane just by the look of it. I watched it for a while, then I got my boyfriend to verify what I was seeing and he thought it was very odd too. Then I got my phone out and started recording at first I was recording it and I could see it on my phone moving and then my phone just stopped recording and went to the home screen. I went to re-watch that and there's weird noises you can kind of see the light a little bit and then there's two different times there is these flashes of lights. And then I tried another time and got a 5-minute video. In the video you can see it moving side to side up and down criss-cross every direction very quickly, which I could not see with my naked eye. I went into the house to get b noculars I only watched it for about 1 minute with the binoculars and then it was gone. It had red green and a white/yellowish light and it was a diamond shape. I went out tonight and saw there again in the same spot. I ran in immediately after taking another 5-minute video and looking at it for not even a second and it started to leave. I went in the house to see it better binoculars and it took me awhile to find it again but I saw something with blinking lights that was very far away what I could not make out of shape but I did see red blinking and a white yellowish blinking. It made no sound or no sound that I could hear being so far away. But was moving very quickly and then it would hover and then move very quickly again and then hover.It was very far away I could tell because I could not see it with my naked eye. And then it got really bright and it was just gone. I've seen it two nights in a row in the same spot. I'm pretty sure it was the same craft. from about how ! far it was from me I could tell it was probably over the ocean.

We pulled into the wide spot and I looked up and saw a huge bright bluish white light sitting just behind the mountaintop. I thought it was yhe moon and voiced my opinion. My husband told me to take a good look again. By this time our friend pulled over too. We all sat and watched as the light changed shapes several times along with colors. It reminded us of fire on a mountain except it moved in odd patterns, changed colors from white to bluish whiite to pink to yellow. It changed size from huge to small and back again. Its shape was a ball of light, a mushroom shape, and even appeared to separate into 2 and back into 1. This went on for over a half hour. I took video, as best I could, considering it was on my cheap cell phone. We finally left. As we were heading back into town, we kept looking behind us. We didn't see it any more. The 3 of us agreed that it had to be a UFO. It was unlike anything we'd ever seen before.

Our last night at the beach I was taking pictures of the moon over the ocean. While taking photos I noticed something flash across the sky extremely fast starting from my left field of view to the right. It literally flashed by less than a second. When I checked my photos I found that I caught a pic of the object that I had seen flashing across the sky.

I was walking my dog and noticing how clear the night sky was. Suddenly a ball of light bounced up from the horizon and stopped. I thought I was seeing things and just kept starring at the light. It stood still, so I brushed it off as a star and kept walking, but kept my eye on it, after 20 seconds, the light started zig zagging, thought maybe it was a drone, suddenly the light stopped moving, turned off, and you can see a green light (almost like electricity) flickering where the light was.. after 20 seconds the light came back and lit up the entire sky, from that moment I could tell that the light was actually in space, because it lit up the space around it as if it was some sort of explosion, allowing you to gauge the distance.. and it was reallly far... then the light when back to it's normal light and continued to zig zag before heading east really fast.

Was on my deck, watching tv. My wife came upstairs and said there's something strange in the sky. Upon looking at the area where she directed me, I saw what appeared to be a cloud with a spotlight hitting it. However, there were no clouds in the sky, and the object was slowly moving north-south. It stayed in what seemed to be a straight line. More details about the object in question: There appeared to be a small, hazy light in the center with a cloud-like ring surrounding it. The ring was vertical in the sky. Seemed to be slightly luminescent, although the moon was bright and may have been reflecting against it. As we watched, a faint, second ring seemed to form around it. We watched it until it went behind some trees and we could no longer see it.

Craft was moving across sky. A picture of this was taken on a game camera. One frame it was there the next frame the craft was gone. The trail camera was attached to a tree in the woods I hunt in. The craft was a bright white. There were multiple lights shining out out of.the craft. This information I have on a SD card.

I had just finished dropping off a key at my parent's house and was walking back to the apartment my husband and I share. The moon was starting to peek through the trees from the south, and I gazed up at the stars, noticing that it was a clear night. I looked north north-east and saw a fuzzy point above the trees and initially thought it was a small plane, but there was no sound, and no blinking lights. I watched it slowly move south, and as it moved it appeared to develop halos - at first they appeared to be moving in a very slight counter-clockwise rotation. Never complete, but fading imperceptibly so as to never show a full spiral halo. It was at this point that I tried to grab a photo using my cell phone, knowing that it would likely not turn out. I grabbed 2 shots. I found it odd that the halo was building and that it was still moving south without noise or distinct airplane lights. I ran to tell my husband and a friend of his who were already outside on our deck. They both looked out and by this time it had grown even more. We ran down the steps to get a better vantage point. I had grabbed my DSLR (Nikon D200) with my Nikkor AF-S 70-300 mm lens to see if I could get some long exposure images on the fly. As soon as we were in the driveway I tried a long exposure shot. Moved to what I thought was a more stable place and grabbed a second shot. The third was the last attempt as by this time it had begun to move behind the tree line. Of these three long exposure shots the first turned out the best. The halo had grown quite a bit from start to finish. When it started it was a small, white/yellow fuzzy spot, before it went out of view it had a fuzzy center and a few vertical mostly-complete halos . I am a website admin / project manager with a degree in environmental biology and have several hobbies, one being stargazing with some astrophotography using my 8-inch Dobsonian telescope. I have seen Venus, Jupiter and its moons, the recent NEOWISE comet, the moon in detail and various meteor showers. I've tracked planes with my telescope (sadly did not have the time to pull it out to see this thing), the ISS, and other satellites. I'm familiar with the normal aircraft that are typically flying in the area as well. This was unlike anything I've seen in the sky thus far.

I was with wife outside home in yard with dog on potty break. I as very familiar with aircraft, especially in DFW air space. Before seeing UFO’s, I noted DFW air traffic was heavy and being conducted in a southern flow. While watching sky waiting for our dog to finish, we noticed a UFO coming out of the east then turning north towards DFW. The UFO was a bright reddish orange light, moving at the speed and approximate altitude of DFW air traffic, but curiously in the opposite direction as the south and outbound DFW traffic. The UFO light was steady on, and color was not at all like typical aircraft aircraft (reddish orange instead of white, red, and green). The light color did not change when the UFO changed direction to the north, which was odd because it was moving north and I should have seen a red light on that side which would have been typical of routine aircraft moving in that direction. This was very odd since it would have posed collision risk! s, unless they were much much higher in altitude. I lost sight of it when it went behind neighborhood trees. Once it was gone, I noticed a second light that appeared the same, and behaved just like the first. It was repeated like this at least 5-6 more times by UFO’s that appeared and behaved exactly the same, albeit completely different from typical aircraft and traffic flow. The events ended around 21:05 - I saw no more afterwards even though I remained watching till 21:30.

I live on Pewaukee lake and look outside for several hours every afternoon and night but today I noticed something unique in the sky in a diamond shape with multiple color lights. I was in shock and did not want to miss the scene so I decided not to go inside my home and grab my phone to take pictures or a video. It was directly hovering over the lake for about 7-10 minutes but high up in the air. There was only one aircraft in the sky but it was like nothing I have ever seen before and as I said earlier, I always look up in the sky everyday for many hours.

It was a two tone silver and grey in color. It never seemed to move. I watched it for over 8 minutes. I turned my back to finish working at the site I was at and when I looked back up... it was gone! No where in the sky. Without a trace.

Tacoma, WA
@ approximately 5:30pm, Friday, August 30th, Tacoma WA, the following occurred. - A loud sound of birds chattering in the tall pines caused me to investigate my home backyard. Upon stepping out to see why, the group of maybe 100+ birds got even louder. Almost like the sound of a loud creek or river. As I walked up to examine why, Many orbs ascended slowly out of the tops of the trees. They were *very* close and I could see them well. Each orb was about the size of a soccer ball. Every sphere resembled a soap bubble, except they were all perfectly uniform, perfectly sphere, crystal clear. As the swarm rose higher, the group of about 30 orbs began to form two seperate clusters. They then became either much more reflective of the sun at a higher altitude, or, they possibly began to emit their own bioluminescence or possibly mechanical light; as they became much brighter as opposed to translucent. Once they had achieved an altitude at about twice the height a drone would fly, the objects then began doing 'maneuvers', and forming geometric shapes and patterns such as triangles, 90°angles etc. By the time myself and a second witness ran inside to grab a better camera and return, the sighting was over.

My husband caught sight of something shiny in the sky that seem to be so far up there behind the clouds far past where airplanes were going by. I took a photo through binoculars with my iPhone. It seem to be the shape of a saucer definitely metallic and kind of moved around a bit erratically but stayed in the same general area. We had seen something similarly about two weeks before this event. He was in a little bit of a different location in the sky but very similar.
