Pueblo West, CO
At approximately 10:22 PM mountain time in Pueblo West Colorado two witnesses saw in the western sky low in the horizon an orange shaped light that hung in the sky for a couple of minutes. It then separated vertically into two separate lights, and then reconnected together. It ultimately disappeared. The lights just faded out. Total sighting was approximately three minutes. There is a lot of haze in the sky, because of fires in the western part of the state. This light was clear and easily seen in the sky, even with the haze. I photographed our yard afterwards, and there was a halo around The space and orbs.

Me and my buddy’s daunte and cainen were all driving back from the angel of the winds casino on a weekend night I believe and on our way home which was only about 10 minutes away, we saw a shooting star and thought it was cool and as the shooting star went across the sky it started falling into our atmosphere at a very fast speed and with my guess I’d say it was about the size of an average house and right before it touched down it slowed down at a speed I’ve never seen before then disappeared in the trees with a green/blue light on the back of it.. We waited for an explosion and looked for a crater but saw nothing, check news media outlets and online and saw nothing. The next day I looked online for anyone to who saw the event because it was huge and I had no idea how nobody else in our whole town/county couldn’t have seen it and sure enough I saw a post about someone seeing a star fall from the sky with a green light and disappeared and then I knew we were! n’t the only ones who saw and felt a lot more validated. My whole view on life is 100% different now and I don’t even know what to think. If you guys have any answers please let me know!

I am a gas tanker driver and was delivering to Costco when this sighting occurred. I was already looking in the sky when I noticed a bright flash to my right, similar to a camera flash. I looked in that direction, which was south west and sighted a dull orange light traveling to the north east. The light seemed very high up, and seemed similar to a satellite, except for the fact that it was slowly pulsating . The light would dim to almost nothing and then grow bright again about every two seconds. It also seemed to be traveling in a slight arc rather than a straight line. I know it could not have been a satellite because they only brighten a dim depending on their reflection of the sun beneath our horizon. This object was self illuminated. It had no flashing lights. It only appeared as an orange pulsating light . I followed the light with my eyes until it was no longer visible. A few minutes later I saw an object that probably was a satellite. It was white in color, traveling in the same direction and did not pulsate. It seemed to disappear from sight as it flew into the earths shadow. I was born and raised in San Diego very close to the San Diego airport. I am familiar with commercial air traffic. I also lived close to Miramar air base for a long time and am familiar with military air traffic. This object was neither of these. I come from a family of law enforcement officers who are trained observers, and it was ingrained in me.

It was Sunday night around. 8 pm I went to my yard like I do every night with my binoculars and laser pointer to look at stars and see if I spot anything odd. I began the CE5 Protocols by Dr Steven Greer and meditation after about a hour and a half I began to notice this white orb infront of the clouds tomato of the sky was gray clouds so I could see this orb very good then 2 more disc shape craft flew in together and stopped directly over me after a few moments another orb came out from behind the top craft now there are 4 craft 2 orbs and 2 discs I was very nervous my wife couldn’t believe what we were seeing she got so nervous she went inside I stood outside and I was hitting the craft with my laser pointer these craft must have been a good 50+ feet across they made absolutely no sound when they moved they were silent. I honestly think they were trying to blend in with the clouds but it was if they had a dim white light on in the craft making them a littl! e brighter then the clouds. After about 40 min they began to go back the same way they came in but the only difference was when they flew off they were sideways like bottom of craft to the side they left on weird after 20-30 seconds they were out of sight. It was very very scary to see but I was completely in awe this wasn’t my 1 st encounter but I will say this the cE5 protocols seem to work.

Kearns, UT
Looking up 9:20 pm Sunday night while in my driveway I noticed what I thought was the ISS but not as bright a light traveling east to west. No big deal- then another and a third,this got my attention. I kept looking up and noticed another coming from the north west going south east just a few seconds after the first three. They all seemed to fade out just as the ISS would when going into the earths shadow. They faded fast. Now more coming from three different directions. This went on for which seemed like 15 minutes,time enough time to go get a chair and two cameras. I sat watching this getting photos of stars with white streaks indicating traveling lights. also took video with LGG6 showing traveling star like white lights. There were so many over a long period of time coming from different directions, I'm still at a lose as what they were. I was thinking mini sats but why the different directions? Hoping someone else would report to better understand as to! what I witnessed.LOts of star like lights

He shouted did y'all see that red ball? We looked down toward the ground and didn't see it but a woman who rented a home from him witnessed the single red ball coming from his house crossing the road in front of her car. She called him immediately and asked him what was going on at his house and described the red ball. The next day dad saw a skinny figure with big eyes aprox 2 ft tall standing at the end of his couch. It vanished when he looked directly at it. He was embarrassed to report it. He told family and a few others. He also a similar red ball near Mineral Springs Middle school in Ellerbe moving in a popping motion along the side of the road then crossed over the road moving southward. He has had other strange sightings and actually thinks he was picked on the shoulder while he was lying on his couch. My stepmom told him she hadn't poked him( tapped his shoulder). He had seen a few objects that would vanish or move quickly through the cracked door. Call me if you ! want the carpenter and my dad's addresses. 910 334 9094

Riverdale Park, MD
Was speaking with a neighbor (avid celestial observer) outside at around 20:40, when neighbor noticed and pointed out an orange object in the air. It mas moving slowly moving from NE to N direction. A moment later of watching, three other similarly oriented objects appeared to be rising in a vertical line and moving from NE to N. I then urgently called my husband from inside the house to look. There was no sound, they glowed for possibly a few minutes and then faded out completely. I took pictures of them. While sky lanterns are illegal in Maryland. While the neighbor, husband and I were both shocked at the observation, the neighbor does not believe they were UFOs, suspected that they were sky lanterns.

I am professional firefighter, former Soldier, and amateur astronomer. I saw a bright red light in the Western sky. Approximately 275 degrees, 15 degrees elevation. Brighter than Venus. Laser red. Initially stationary, then suddenly accelerating to the South. This is exceptionally unusual, because it is opposite to the current direction of commercial air travel out of O'Hare Airport at this time. I confirmed that no plans were visible on Plane Finder software at the time. Color remained uniform after the change of Direction. No strobe. At about heading 225, the object disappeared. Object reappeared approximately 7 minutes later, and followed the same pattern. Again, definitely not a plane. Object was seen below the cloud cover, which was approximately 20000 ft. This was immediately following a storm weather event. Alternatively, it could have been a Hobby drone. But I ruled this out, because of the ambient light at this time of night is prohibitive to flying! an RC aircraft. Thank you for your time.

Astoria, NY
At approx 1400 (2pm) I witnessed one craft moving very slowly high in the sky (I'm guessing higher than 30,000 feet) looking northward at about an 80 degree angle from Astoria, Queens, NYC. The object moved very slowly to the west and was intermittently obscured by clouds. It seemed to glow with changing intensity. I was able to take video of the event and point it out to several passersby while observing it. When I reviewed the video, I noticed a second craft to the right of the one I had been observing and had missed while watching initially. I've submitted screen shots of the video to this site. I'll be submitting the video once I can clip it and make it shorter for email submission.

Object was perhaps 3000 ft. moving from west to east across and over TRAFFORD/MURRYSVILLE valley. My house sits high which made me look straight out at it, about 4 miles. Object was rectangular in shape with a white lighted spire protruding from top. A bright lit yellow rod protruded from the bottom looking like : - - - - - - (the dash being yellow light, spaces between in black, only pointing straight down from bottom of craft). It was stationary when first seen then moved quickly eastward. No sound heard. Weather was clear, no clouds.seen with naked eye then, 7x35 binoculars.

8/23/2020 day 3 of seeing my friends I now call them. Upon day 3 and 4th time now observing them. They seem To be most active 0:00 hours to about 3:00 AM This one was observed in front yard. Where it was yesterday as well. Appears bright always by the tree lines. Blinking colors green, blue, white. Almost blending with night sky and stars but my camera does not pick up stars. If you notice them they will behave movement wise funny. It’s when you zoom in a bit things get really weird and more puzzling. Upon analysis of video files moving time down to slower speed the orbs might not be orbs but spinning disk shapes that are so fast moving they appear to maybe shapeshif? Observed and screen shot video clip pics they also form wormhole type looking lines then transfer back to spinning disk or circle shape and then into glowing mass type orbs. I also saw on history channels “unidentified” that in 2019 the same objects where seen in Peru. Also most visible when zoomed and identical pictures of orb like objects with dot in center. Furthermore interesting as mass sighting was in Peru prior to pilots testimony and video of object but ! video 2 days prior shows same objects in Peru by airport. Coincidently litchfield is in close proximity to Manchester airport. Not sure what these objects are doing but they appear to have business here: I’m a regular sky watcher. Who loves stars and has a telescope. I have never seen this before. Have reported 4 times now. Once 8/10 in Milford at drive in. And for the past 3 days via litchfield.

I was walking down the street with my staff, when I saw an alien leaping from one backyard, across the road, and jumped the fence to another fenced backyard. The creature was roughly 12’, and looked similar to the creature from the movie ‘Signs’. My staff was not able to get a picture.

Yankton, SD
2 orange lights hovered very slowly and at a uniquely slow pace to the West of Yankton just North of Gavins Point Dam. One started to flicker off and on in a manner that a normal operating aircraft would not do. It was completely silent and had no noise of an engine. The first orange light eventually went dark as if it sputtered out. The other orange light continued to move to the west until it too flickered out. Even though I could no longer see the orange glow, I felt as if I could see the objects still moving as I could see them traveling in front of the stars in the night sky.

In two weeks, one single flashing light has appeared nearly in the same location-center of town over UK Campus. I am "drawn/compelled" to step outside to observe this orb-like shape flash 3-4 different colors, strobe and make quick, small changes in location. I reported on one sighting; invited a visiting friend to step out for a 2nd sighting I "felt" (verifiable); and same tonight, alone. Appears to be same craft. Note: huge upsurge in helicopter activity recently, as well.

First I want you to know I am an alien skeptic. I have an open mind but I'm only going to believe what I see and experience myself. I make no claims these were alien objects. I would classify them as unexplained moving lights in the night sky. Because I'm in an urban area with houses and trees all around the horizon and I only have a cheap compass my orientation may be slightly off. On Saturday, August 22, 2020, at 9PM EST I went out to see if I could view comet Neowise. I had been trying to find it all summer without luck. I'm in a urban area with a lot of light pollution and the comet is faint so I never had any success. At 10PM EST I went out again. By this time it was fully dark and there were large white puffy clouds moving swiftly from WNW but the space between the clouds was * crystal clear * and I could easily see stationary stars. Suddenly I noticed a fast moving "star" traveling from WSW coming from behind clouds. It was white and as bright as Venus. At first I thought it might be the International Space Station as it was moving at a constant speed high behind the clouds but since it was moving slower I discounted it as the ISS. I watched it travel in a straight line moving from WSW to North at a constant speed disappearing and reappearing between breaks in the clouds. When it passed the Big Dipper, two more bright white moving "stars" came into view between the clouds. One heading WNW and one heading West. They were dimmer than the first moving "star" and moving at about the same rate of speed but slower (I assume because they were farther away). Unfortunately the white puffy clouds were increasing so the moving "stars" were difficult to track as they disappeared behind the fast moving puffy-white clouds. As the clouds were increasing I began to look for spaces between clouds and I looked almost directly up and saw another very bright moving "star" heading WSW. It was white and as bright as the first moving "star" but the clouds were increasing and it disappeared behind the clouds . I eventually lost track of the first moving "star" behind the ever increasing cloud-cover as it traveled North. The moving "stars" weren't an illusion caused by the moving clouds. I could clearly see fixed, stationary stars and the moving "stars". The entire incident lasted less than 5 minutes. I'm about 5 miles from an airport to the North and during this same period of time I could see two low flying planes approaching the airport in front of the clouds (lower than the clouds). The moving white "stars" were not planes. The planes were easy to identify because they have red, green, and white blinking landing lights and moved like planes I see all the time. I also had another incident on the last Saturday of May. It was 10PM EST and I went out to toss some trash. It was a clear night. Whenever I go outside at night I always take a moment to look at the night sky; seeing which constellations are visible. As I said, I live in an urban area with lots of light pollution and there are houses and trees that block my view so I'm limited by what I can see; usually only the Big Dipper and Orion depending on the time of year. On a good clear night if I look out a second floor window I can see the Pleiades. Mars, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn are easy to locate. As I turned to the house to go inside, I was standing in the driveway looking SE. About 45-50 degrees above the horizon I saw a redish-orange "star". At first I thought it might be Mars which is fairly common and easy to see. However it just didn't look exactly like Mars. My next thought was it might be a candle sky lantern someone released so I stood still to see if it would drift. It didn't. It was stationary. Then, without notice, this redish-orange "star" shot directly away from me and in less than a second disappeared. After these two sighting I have gone outside when the night sky is clear but I haven't seen anything since. Best regards

Hood River, OR
We were sitting outside talking at our camp site at Lost Lake campground and resort. It was dark and there was a fire ban at the time so it was darker than usual. All of the sudden, a red and orange circular light appeared in the sky between two large trees. It moved towards us, almost in an arch pattern, with a strong light tail and then disappeared. It wasn’t too close, more off in the distance, but clearly visible. It almost looked like a firework or flare but there wasn’t any sound that normally comes along with those. Plus, with the fire ban in place and heavily enforced rules at Lost Lake, there is a very small chance anyone was lighting anything on fire. It is also covid rules so the campground was only at about half capacity. The whole thing lasted 15 seconds or less. Myself and one other person were completely sober and the other two had a little to drink. We all saw it.

A large bright stationary "star" spit out several star looking objects which would then disperse in different directions. The objects then moved across the sky in different directions while visibly dodging other objects in the sky. Some of these formed triangles following a single craft. The large bright stationary "star" then spit out 1 large RED CRAFT. These objects were high enough in the sky to have the appearance of stars. The red craft shot across the sky diagonally which crossed directly above me and my sister. The res craft was bright enough that we figured we could pick it up on camera. I started recording and my sister asked jokingly asked the "ufo" if the aliens were here to let us know they are here. Immediately the craft stopped propelling directly above us when she asked almost as if it knew we were staring at it. The craft then flashed BRIGHT lights down at us and descended towards us rapidly while continuing to flash at us. Each flash had a heatwave that came with it and our faces felt sunburned while our heads felt like we just had ct-scans. The craft then hovered above us at an estimated 500 feet above us. It went from clearly above 30,000ft to 500ft above us in a matter of seconds. As it flashed at us I felt magnetized to stare and almost stuck where I was. It started to get closer and my sister ran inside shouting "RUN" but I felt like I couldnt move. To be honest I don't know how long I stayed outside staring up at the bottom of this craft. When we went outside about 10 minutes later the craft was gone but you could smell melted tar from our roof. We then watched multiple crafts roam the sky the entire night. I do feel that if I had stayed outside longer when the red craft came down that I would have been taken. I am actually not sure if I lost time or actually was taken because the next thing I knew it was nearly midnight.
