“frame” appeared metallic . The pads/cushions did not appear metallic. So to recap: At first we saw a fiery/glowing orb but as it came closer I saw the craft itself which had the general shape of a 3-dimensional Chevrolet logo with 4 (2 red, 2 green)pads on the front. The craft emitted amber/red/green lights. As far as my background I have been in the military for 16 years and 2 overseas deployments. I have seen flares and a wide variety of aircraft before. This thing was defying physics/gravity. This craft was unlike ANYTHING I've ever seen before and I am extremely grateful to have witnessed it.

Pawleys Island, SC
While sitting on the widows watch on top of our rental house we witnessed what appeared to be four military aircraft flying at a high altitude above us coming from W headed E NE. They continued to fly in the same direction for five minutes making a large sweeping circle until coming back headed directly W passing almost directly back over top of us. About fifteen minutes after the military aircraft left our field of view the four of us observed two large orange circles appear in the sky to our ENE that stayed illuminated for roughly fifteen seconds. The two circles were side by side with one slightly higher than the other and almost appeared to be angled down to the ocean. We waited and watched in the same direction to see if anything reappeared and we then noticed two military aircraft coming from our W again but this time traveling at the same altitude but at a much higher rate of speed. The two aircraft passed directly over top of us again and headed towards the ocean and started to veer ENE in the direction of where the two circles had appeared. While heading in that direction the two circles appeared again blocking out the light from the military aircraft. We then continued watching the sky towards the E to see if we saw anything else. We continued watching for another half hour but never saw the circles again. We did witness the military aircraft making passes back and forth up and down the beach line, but well out over the ocean, and on one pass multiple other aircraft joined into the existing two aircraft. When we came off of the widows watch the military aircraft were still making passes up and down the beach line. This same event has happened every night we have been here but this is the first night I have gotten to witness the event. It is never the same amount of lights and they appear in different spots in the sky for different durations. Another member of our party posted a report from earlier this week of their sighting. We have tried to debunk the lights as flares but the light never moves like a flare would in the sky.

Sitting on the patio, watching the night sky, a white light appeared over the houses across the street, up about 500 ft. Looking at the light, my wife and I saw a metallic triangular craft. The white light, it seemed was at the top of the triangle. One side had a green light and the other side red, navigation type lights. It just hovered for about 5 secs then slowly and quietly came towards us for about 5 secs, then over our heads and roof. I ran to the other side of the house to further see it but it was gone. This happened over Emerald Forest.

I walked outside looked at southwest sky and saw this huge red orb, no sound at all. I called for my mom and we both saw it move backwards slowly no sound, no red, blue or white blinking aircraft lights. It moved slowly northwest and became smaller. Then turned and began slowly moving west and it just vanished. No sounds at all and there were no other aircraft anywhere. It was so close to me when I first saw it but when I yelled for my mom to come out it backed away a little. I have seen orbs before but nothing this vivid and close. Only 1 huge red orb or sphere. So bright nothing else could be seen on sphere. It was in the black night sky.

Satellite Beach, FL
My wife and I were spending the last evening of our Florida vacation watching the storms over the Atlantic Ocean, east of our condo in Satellite Beach Florida. This was on 08/20/2020. We were sitting on the beach, just out of reach of the surf, or so we thought, that plays a part in a moment. The storms were quite a ways out, at least 4 to 5 miles or more. To our north is Cape Canaveral and Cape Canaveral Air Force Base. While sitting and talking we were also taking short video clips of the storms and the beautiful lightening displays within them. While doing so we noticed quite a few aircraft moving about in the vicinity of the storms, some getting very close and we remarked about how one would think that the pilots would try to avoid flying into the storms. Most of the aircraft were far enough away they were just blinking dots. At approx. 2200 hrs I noticed that one of the aircraft appeared to be much closer, or actually much larger, than the others we had been seeing as it was bright, comparable to Venus in the night sky. It was a steady red color and not moving: It was in or at the north edge of the storm front. I noted this to my wife and she said it was just another aircraft. But it was NOT moving. I noted there was an aircraft moving northeasterly to the north of the larger light, and one moving due east away from the large light. These were clearly much further away or much smaller objects. I watched the object sitting, not moving, for approx. one minute. I started my phone to record video of this (so I thought) and just as I did a large wave came in and struck us as we were not far enough away from the increasing waves lol. This caused us to grab our stuff and quickly retreat further back on the shore. I refocused my attention after this brief, just a few seconds of clamoring up a few feet, interruption of viewing the object and it had now moved. It was now northwest of where it had been, still just as large and bright, but now it was roughly in between the two other mentioned air craft which were still moving the directions they had been. By my estimation it was now sitting just east of Cape Canaveral. I went to continue filming and realized my phone had not started filming, my error, and when I did get the video to start I aimed my phone back toward the object in question it was now gone. Some things of note: There had been a launch of some kind from the cape on Tuesday 08/18/2020 I believe. There was another launch scheduled for the next Monday I believe also. We were near both a spacecraft launch area and an USAF base. Other than the roar of the ocean there were no sounds detected. I am a LEO (going on 20 years) and also a lifelong believer in our planet being visited by other entities from other worlds, but have never experienced anything first hand related to this belief. I am a lifelong resident of Oklahoma and not a resident of Florida thus I don’t know what lights and craft are “normal” in the night skies, but I don’t think apparent instantaneous acceleration is normal and this object exhibited that twice. I decided that I was likely not seeing anything out of the ordinary and was going to let it go, as in not report to NUFORC, which I am aware of thanks to Coast to Coast AM. That is until I was catching up on recorded shows on my DVR and began watching the latest episode of “Unidentified: Inside America’s UFO Investigations” on the History channel. This newest episode was talking about sightings of orange or red objects off the U.S. east coast, including Florida. Thus I am making this report. I have no idea what I saw but it displayed things that stood out: Larger, apparently, than surrounding objects that were clearly aircraft. One solid color, red, displayed. No other flashing lights to indicate aircraft position etc. It moved twice at a high rate of speed: Once when I had to move my position, and again when I activated my phone camera. It moved completely out of sight on the latter. Thank you for your work collecting these sightings!

I was going out to have a cigarette and I noticed in the sky over the tree line a very busy orange red light that seemed odd. I was on the phone with someone and I told them I'll call you back as this light turned into5-6 orange red balls and move slow together before 4 of them speeding off and one slowly went east, and I watch that one until it gotten so far I couldn't see it anymore.

Murrells Inlet, SC
We saw 2 equal distant horizontal random blinking lights high in the sky. At first we thought they were 2 planes but they stayed the same distance apart and, unlike planes that you can always see a solid light in addition to the blinking wing lights, these were completely dark in between the flashes. There was also no sound (we heard planes flying over many times that were that high in the sky and you could hear their engines). We watched it come from west to east across the sky and then it stopped over the ocean. The 2 blinking lights became solid, bright white/yellow lights and it hovered silently over the ocean for a minute. The lights were horizontal to the ocean, seemingly looking toward the beach. Then the solid lights went out and the blinking lights started again and it flew out over the ocean toward the horizon. Minutes later we saw 6-8 more blinking lights out on the horizon far away, moving south slowly (left to right) before they just disappeared one at a time.

On 8/20/20 at approximately 2130 hrs. my two grand children and my self were outside where I was trying to show them some of the basic constellations. iI was very clear and bright and there was a new moon so it was very dark. I was showing them Ursa Major when I spotted a satellite traveling west to east across the sky just below the dipper. I saw another satellite following the first with about sixty degrees of separation. As we were watching them I heard what sounded like a low level rumbling sound. I turned to the south and saw three lights in a triangle with a red flashing light in the center. They were traveling North West to South East. When I first saw them they were passed being overhead, maybe 65 to 70 degrees and I lost them at about 30 degrees when they passed behind some trees, the total time 45 to 60 seconds. I could not make out any shape, just the impression that it was solid between the lights. The size of the triangle was comparable to a quarter held at arms length. A rough estimate of altitude would be about ten thousand feet. sThis did not look like a fixed wing aircraft, there was no noise after initial the low rumble. The flash rate on the red light was under a second probably twice a second. The white lights were steady and less intense than the ruby red light in the center. The craft did not exhibit any UFO characteristics, great speed, strange maneuvering, or abrupt disappearance. I think it was some sort of stealth aircraft but it fit the description of the triangle that have been reported.

On Thursday, August 20th, 2020 around 9:05pm in Spokane Washington; My wife and I were outside sitting enjoying the night sky and having a cigarette, while looking upward at the stars, directly above my wife and I, a "V" shaped (not full triangle shape, V craft) object was flying by going westward coming from the east direction flying over our head(s). The object was almost invisible if you will. Blended in with the sky except for, as strange as it may sound, had a very feint see through brownish color to it that blended in with the night sky. Hard to explain but thats what caught my attention as it was flying byover us or i would of easily have missed it. Like a clear blurred wave destorting the scenery. I pointed at it so the wife would see it. We both were in awe. Trying to figure out what type of craft it was or I should say what it was exactly. No noise was heard from it. As to how high it was in the sky, thats hard to say. Best example i can give is If you held a full lenth #2 pencil up in the air with your arms stretched out and pencil held by fingers, showing from left to right, the length of the pencil, thats the width from left to right on the V shaped object or close to it. Using that, that should give an idea of height as well. It was moving pretty fast. Saw maybe 3 to 4 seconds of it. Pretty amazing actually. Just wish we could of seen it a bit longer for a better description. Thhough as stated, it was almost invisible.

Me and a co worker were outside discussing certain events in politics and stuff. He proceeds to tell me that that is only star he has seen tonight so I look up and I responded that is no star it was slowly moving across the sky an orange yellowish light and then it vanished. So when I got off work I told my wife and she proceeded to tell me that around the same hour she saw a bright white light do the same. She said she didn't think was a helicopter or anything because it did not make any noise.

On the night of August 20th, 2020 my girlfriend and I were leaving my house to her apartment around 9:15 or so. As we left my house, which is on top of a hill, I noticed a long string of lights flashing in odd patterns sitting in the sky. As we noticed it, we stopped my car on top of the hill and watched it. It continually changed the pattern in which it flashed its light, it almost looked as if it was communicating in morse code or something like that. Eventually, the object slowly lowered and disappeared. We did not see it again. We kept driving to see if we could find it again but it was gone… However, as we did keep driving my girlfriend noticed two more solid colored bright lights sitting in the air. They sat near each other motionless except for slight rotation. Slowly one drifted away from the other toward the right and we could make out a box looking shape with two flashing lights on opposing corners and two solid lights on the other two. This object! made no noise and disappeared behind a building. Simultaneously, the other object remained perfectly still in its original location until it seemed to slowly rise and start hovering ever so slowly toward us. We watched it come closer and take the form of a disc with two large lights in the middle and two smaller lights on the edges. It continued to approach us noiseless until it came right over our heads. At this point, I could see it was no longer a disc but a boomerang shape with one light in the center and another two lights, one on each point. It made no noise at all. As it hovered over me, still noiseless, it maintained its boomerang shape and then suddenly I saw a tail and it was a plane. The essence of it was eerie almost like it changed its shape upon approachment. My take on this scenario is that either this was a plane and it was after the original UFO, it was a UFO with shape shifting capabilities, or the US government has antigravity technology as this object/p! lane hovered over one spot for over 10 minutes before hovering! slowly and noiselessly.

Orange orb of light floated through my backyard, within 10-15 feet of me. It was basketball-sized & bioluminescent, like a jellyfish. Within the sphere (whose size remained constant, there was another circle that would shift, expanding and contracting. like the pupil of an eye. it seemed to be looking around, and it looked at me. i managed to grab my ipad to film, but as soon as i started moving, it zipped up over my neighbors roof & hovered there. Before that, it had been drifting, slowly, so I lowered the camera for a moment to see if it would come back. It didn't, but as soon as i snapped the camera but up, it zips off to the left. The clip is here https://youtu.be/_5Oeauv_xC0 Sorry i didn't get a video while it was closer. I was in shock for a few moments, but nothing supernaturally induced or anything like that. I've just never seen anything like it.

A large orb in the sky above in the Southern sky, but very high up. It did n't move for the whole hour we watched. It was larger than a star or planet that you see. My husband has an app on his phone that identifies stars and planets and this did not show up on it

One day I was leaving work late finishing up a job site as I said to myself that's a very pretty view in the front of the neighborhood that I was doing my work in so as I was leaving in the front of the neighborhood happens to be a Manor House most likely the old farmhouse that was there before the development was built used as a monument or some type of remembrance there's a big field in front of the manor house that's what it's called with a lot of lights that happened to run down the side of each part of the field I said before I leave I like to take a picture because it just so happens to be a beautiful sight and I wanted to capture it at that moment I got out of my van I kneeled down on one knee with a Galaxy Note 20 ultra one of the newer high-tech phones the camera features pretty awesome and the capture some things with that camera alone it's cool by itself so as I took a picture I realized it was kind of blurry but I'm not paying much attention I said to myself man it didn't look like that on my screen and normally it takes very good pictures but this one was a little historic so I said let me take another one maybe I'll get a better shot it could be due to the lighting I took another picture I looked at it I realized it had a much better description of what I was going for so I left as I was rolling down the road I was looking through the pictures I just took I realized there's these three or four little dots in the air on the first picture that happened to be slightly blurry then as I inspected the second picture I realize these three or four little dots weren't little dots anymore they were actually objects right over the field or the manor house that I was taking these pictures of had I am not have looked at the pictures or my camera have not picked up what I was witnessing on photo I would never have known there was something right above me or above the projective spot that I was shooting for I questioned myself could it be no it can't be and then as farther notice of the first picture I realized the object to the left of it was more towards my way and then the second picture it starts the beam off to the left pretty quick and I was kind of mind baffled how could something like that do that even if it was a glitch there's no possible way how could I not hear anything in the sky or see anything with the naked eye I sent it to a few of my buddies they were just blown away I contacted the CIA last year never heard nothing I posted it on my Facebook and had it stored in my Google cloud well then out of nowhere I could not find it on my Facebook or even in my Google cloud like miraculously disappeared so I called A buddy of mine that I happened to send it to to see if he still had it in his messages of course he did and he forwarded it back to me I reposted them back on Facebook a few months after the original post and they have been there ever since now the pictures I am currently sending you guys or screenshots of the pictures that I posted on my Facebook because I no longer currently own the phone that was recently involved in taking the pictures that being said they are 110% authentic I couldn't make it up to save my life my Facebook page is Chad Marciano I will be the page with the guy all in blue if you happen to go through my photos you will see the original ones that were resent back to me through forwarding had it not been for a buddy of mine to resend them pictures they would have been gone forever which miraculously have no idea how that could have ever happened but watching a short video earlier I was able to get the contact information of this site [NUFORC annotation: Camera Anomaly - Probable]

Driving on 275 West around 3:15PM, September 20, 2020, we spotted a UFO directly above us as we were getting off the Lawrenceburg exit. There was another vehicle stopped on the exit ramp looking up to the sky. As we were trying to find out what they were looking at, we noticed an unidentified flying object that rapidly moved from one spot to another in an instant. I would guess that this jumped about 5 miles further west in the blink of an eye. It looked like a white craft, unless it was just lit up. Then it was gone. My girlfriend and I live in Kentucky and we are normal humans between 50 and 56 years old. I have witnessed several UFO's in my life. Back in the late 70's my whole family witnessed one hovering just about our CB radio antenna.

Was standing outside watering plants and happened to look up. I saw a white oval shaped object hovering. I thought I was seeing things so I went inside and grabbed my binoculars. I focused and I wasn’t seeing things, it was white/light grayish in color it was hovering and then began to move forward, then shot off VERY VERY FAST!! I then lost sight! My fiancé was with me and saw it as well. We’re still in shock from what we both saw. After the “tick tack” videos, I’m 100% that’s exactly the same object we BOTH saw!

Early Thursday morning, around 5:30 am. I was checking the security cameras that are mounted on the front of my house. I noticed a blinking object on the camera that faces east. It didn't really move. It flashed for about five minutes then vanished. I'm including a low quality video.

Spinning silent pyramid over South Anchorage with red, green and blue lights. It turned into dancing yellow light as it went up. It stayed in orbit for a while. Quickly moved left, right, back to center. After 30 min, it started to move further away until it looked like a large yellow star. Then the clouds came in and it was gone. Total time was 45 min. It was so beautiful, lights eminating when it was hovering over our city, I saw red mixed with blue to make purple. That's what made me look closer because I have never seen an airplane to have purple lights. I saw it spin tilted to the right on it's axis like a Christmas Tree. That's why it looked like a pyramid, otherwise initially it looked like a triangle.

I was standing outside smoking a cigarette. When I saw this light in the sky. It would hover then split in two connected by a lightning strike. I yelled, and for some reason everyone was asleep and wouldn’t wake up. I grabbed my phone and snapped these pictures. Afterward I was bitten by something big. I went to the hospital the next day. They said possible hobo, still a strange time to have that happen.
