Mojave, CA
`On August 4th 2020, at 3:30 AM I was again looking North when I saw a red and white light travelling from the East to the West around thirty degrees above the horizon. This incident is comparable to my incident on June 17th, 2020, the opposite effect happened as it disappeared from view behind a curtain at a point due North. As above, all stars and other features were visible on both sides of the line but the object was only visible on the Eastern side of this line or curtain. This was one day after a full moon but the object was quite easily observed. The speed of this object appeared to be gliding across the sky. I have no way to determine the distance away from my point of view to the object.

At 3:15 a.m. I was looking out our glass sliding door to the east when a flash of light occurred for less than a second. An object seemed to come from the north, lower than the moon, and then disintegrate before reaching the ground, like a piece of mylar burning up. It was silver with possible rows of rivets holding angular sheets of metal together. It sounded like a ‘whoosh” as it disintegrated. It seemed to disappear just before reaching the ground.

Olalla, WA
While looking for meteors at 3am I observed a string of lights that looked like meteors at first but moved slower and in a string. One behind the other. Some appeared paired where others were single but all following in a line across the Northwestern sky. Seemed to come out of darkness (clear night) and returned behind darkness. The whole event lasted 15 - 20 seconds (estimate). I was too puzzled by what I saw I wasn’t timing it. Much too high to be planes. Perhaps satellites but never seen so many moving together in a string. No reasonable explanation yet. Have not seen any news reports yet either about this. First time I’ve EVER seen something like this and first time EVER reporting such a siting. Felt compelled to tell someone about it. Definitely not a dream.

A perfect line of lights, 2 at a time with a small gap between each pair, moving west to east toward the crescent moon. About as fast as distant airplanes. Totally quiet, as bright as the stars nearby. About 20-30 degrees above the horizon. I have a photo! Seen from Eagle Cove, Cypress Island. Lost behind a hill.

Myers Flat, CA
Went outside to answer a call from my mother, looked up and saw a white orb shaped craft, about the size of the moon moving in a zip zag formation. I've seen planes and satellites my whole life but this was bizarre, I told my mother what I was seeing because she directed me to go outside and watch the meteor shower . Quite a shock to say the least and then I went to bed, next morning told my son and he suggested we report it here.

Me and my roommate were outside enjoying the night when I spotted what I thought was a bag floating in the wind. As it got closer both me and my roommate could only describe it as a pink/brown jelly fish floating in the air as if it was water . Its slowed as we watched it as it changed direction and moved faster and it floated away. Me and my roommate both ran out to the street but when we got out to the street it a floated a huge distance within seconds.

looking at the sky at around 11 pm. A large triangled shaped object wich only had light around the perimeter wich showed a triagle shape flew across the entire night sky in a matter of 2 seconds. The object seemed to be far away because the light it showed around its triangled shaped perimeter looked dimmed but visible

Seattle, WA
8/13/20 - Husband and I were out in back yard watching meteor shower, when I noticed at about 11:20pm a somewhat bright star just sitting stationary in one spot. It looked like the other stars, a bright light, with a slight aura. Then it suddenly began to move down towards the horizon, moving faster and more easily than a plane or jet, not on an entirely straight path, wavering a bit as it did so. It did not leave any trails or make any sound. It then stopped, and began making little forays to the sides and up, then moved horizontally a ways north along the horizon, and stopped again. It then moved back south again a little way along the horizon, stopped, and started making little forays up, down, and to the sides, and that is when I came in to report it, at 11:35pm.

Twin Sister's Lakes, WA
I bright white light came from the southeast 1/3 of the way across the sky. I thought it was a satellite, but my boyfriend said it was going way too fast and too high in the sky to be a satellite. As we watched the light stopped and reversed a short distance. Then it made what appeared to be an obtuse triangular path. Then shot off to the south and disappeared.

UFO Sighting: Thursday August 13, 2020 Sighting occurred between 10pm and 12am in Worcester, MA, 01605 In order to be as transparent as possible, I will admit that I had, over the week leading up to this event, engaged in experimenting with the psychedelic drug “DMT”. Unfortunately, due to this awareness of my altered states of consciousness, a lot of people with whom I’ve talked with seem to dismiss my experiences as “drug psychosis”, however I believe if anyone were to interview me, my testament is so honest that unless what I experienced was in fact a drug psychosis, I can only attribute my experience to some sentient being making contact with me while I was in a psychologically “open” state of consciousness. On Thursday evening I was sitting in my bedroom watching episodes of a television show called “King of the Hill” with my partner. I remember the specific episode was regarding Tarot cards and magical themes, which is relevant to some other “supernatural” phenomena that I’ve been experiencing. During a particular scene where the characters were invoking a “magical ritual”, I felt the air around me shift, and I knew that what I was experiencing was only for me and not my partner (he did not experience the phenomena, but can attest to my urgent and focused behavior). When I say the “air shifted”, what I really mean is that I believe, through the television’s waves, gravity was being manipulated, and I was being called upon by something that made me feel overwhelmingly compelled to follow it. From the television, I can plainly see a tube-like faint glimmer providing the “map” in which I was following. It looked slightly pale yellow and translucent. I ran out of the house with no shoes, cellphone, keys, ID, or anything but the clothes on my body. I left the doors agape and left in such a frenzy that my partner tried to chase me, but ultimately didn’t follow me beyond the end of our street. In that moment, I was so compelled to instinctively follow this feeling in my stomach that knew there was something to behold on the other end. As I’m speed-walking through the neighborhood into the woods nearby, I hear lots of dogs barking in a fright for a few moments, only to all suddenly go silent, which I thought was unusual. As I’m following the “tube” I was in a trance like state. I thought it was divine, to be honest, until I felt the gravity tube go from pulling me forward to pulling upwards. I looked up to see a LARGE craft that made a very faint noise which sounds similar to when an airplane is heating up the engines before takeoff. It appeared to be traveling at a fast, but not overwhelmingly so cruising speed. The craft was a circular, flat disc which I could only see from the bottom from my vantage point, but it had (I believe) either nothing on it whatsoever, or faint lights surrounding the outer perimeter of the craft; though I believe it was the latter, I cannot be certain. The craft also moved through the air as if it was frictionless, which is physically impossible (to my knowledge) unless it is able to operate in either a state of superposition, or if it could manipulate gravity itself. I tried to get the crafts attention by waving, but I did not make a sound. I was speechless, but to be quite honest, not surprised. Unfortunately, the craft flew past me and I was left following the direction the tube shifted to, but it grew faint when I got to a parking lot which was empty except for two vehicles. The tube led me directly to one specific vehicle; I approached a man whose face was illuminated by a light and attempted to inquire if he was experiencing anything strange, however I quickly saw that the man was masturbating to something on his cellphone, so I walked away startled, but did indeed call out to him from afar asking him if something weird was going on. Obviously, the man said yes, but If it were not for the tube that led me directly to approach him, specifically his cellphone, I would have felt less convinced that this is something that uses satellite technology or cell phones to communicate. I believe these beings may be using technology to manipula! te gravity remotely. Unfortunately, I was not able to follow on foot for much longer, as the tube of light led me to Worcester Technical School where I lost the trail. I walked all around the premises trying to get in to no avail. There is, without a doubt, video surveillance of me in the school’s possession which can hopefully provide a more accurate timestamp of when this occured, as it was only within 10-30 minutes after the sighting that I arrived at the school.

Tillamook, OR
Yellowish/white, similar to color of a bright star, planet or satelite. However, it moved erratically but side to side or up and down almost like on a Joy ride. This lasted for at least 60 minutes. After which then the light started to dim then get bright then dim and get bright periodically until we finally just went to bed. My two 13 year olds confirmed they saw what I was seeing, that I wasn't crazy. This is my first siting of SOMETHING, but what it was is unknown.

I had bad depth perception that day, at least 5 miles away. 5 white lights in a triangular shape. Moving faster than an airplane flying somewhat close by . I went to grab a camera and it disappeared and left a blue streak.

We were enjoying the eastern night sky at approx 945 pm and I noticed what I thought might be international space station somewhere top left of Orion’s Belt, object moves left in sky very distant and small but noticeable for about 1 min and then literally turned - Approx 45 degrees down to left kind of towards night horizon , mE and my friend saw it and were convinced it was space station until it changed course for about 10 seconds and we lost track of it in night sky, neither of us have ever seen anything like it , weird!

Came from the north 150 of them. Went the speed of a satellite but they were all blinking and all the same. They were all in a line and then looked like the first ones began to slow down and wait for the stragglers to catch up. Went across the whole Eastern sky going south. Neighbors saw and people we called 25 miles away.

Isla Morada, FL
My husband and son went fishing so after a while I decided to go outside to look at the stars. When all of a sudden I saw an object as bright as a star but much bigger and surrounded by a moving halo of some sort. The object was stationary but suddenly and rapidly moved horizontally to the right then to the center again so I took a video with my phone as it was moving to the left in a straight line but slower. I’ve never seen anything like that. This is a second Vacation home, not my primary home

It was a very clear night and I happen to a solid white light moving towards my direction through my back door. I did not see any flashing lights at that time. I lost it behind the trees for a few seconds but then recorded as it came back into view. It then did two quick bright flashes, took a couple dips unlike an airplane would be capable of. Honestly after that I was too afraid to keep watching!

Centennial, WY
On August 13, 2020, my son, mother, and I were fishing at Hanging Lake above Centennial, Wyoming. We walked the short distance to the other end of the lake and started to fish. We were catching fish every cast, so very preoccupied with excitement. My son, looked up and noticed it first (he is three years old). A plane was flying close to the object. I looked at my mom and asked, “what is that?” The plane kept moving and the object was at a dead standstill. There were hardly any clouds in the sky, so it was not a reflection of anything. It was oval/oblong and glowing white. I was able to get pictures of it, but they don’t do it justice. My phone battery went down to 1 percent quickly, so I was only able to capture a couple pictures. It stayed above us for about 20 minutes and then just like that, gone. We must have looked down for just a brief moment and then looked back up and it was gone. It was larger than a plane, because the plane flew by it and it was just a bit larger than that (depending on how close to us it was compared to the plane) but to the blind eye it appeared to be bigger than a jet. It stayed put, not moving at all, for about 20 minutes and then disappeared. I posted a comment about it on social media and my phone started to blow up with other people having similar reports this week and previously. One was a man that works for Game and Fish. He saw it on Tuesday (August 11, 2020) and at night. He said he went to go investigate what the light was over the ridge (same area I saw it), and he said that his phone wouldn’t work when he tried to take a picture, almost as if it was scrambled. He also reported that there was a vibration on the ground below him. Another resident of Centennial wrote and said she saw the same thing, around 5pm early in the week, and that she looked up with her husband while driving and said, “wow, a UFO!” and that she was almost “so mesmerized that she couldn’t take a picture” – she’s a professional photographer, so this is really odd for her. Prior to this sighting (which is the first time I have ever witnessed something like this), I had an overwhelming feeling of joy. Like a flood of joy just overwhelmed my body – it’s hard to describe. I have been going through an incredibly difficult time and so joy isn’t something that I have experienced full-on in a while. This feeling was immense and strong. Not sure if its related, but I believe that it is. It looks like that was a similar sighting (recorded on video) over a ranch near there on November 6, 2019 and that was posted on LaramieLive (a local news source online). There have been several other reports from Centennial residents and it sounds like they are all in the same area, so I am finding out any way. I did call our local airport and asked if the pilot in the plane had reported anything suspicious. They said they would get back to me. Incredible.

Malibu, CA
This is a video I took in Malibu, CA at 6:13pm on Latigo beach. I was looking south, toward LAX. Planes are in the area very often but this stuck out because it looked very different. The object never showed any outlandish movement which made me think it's something like a satellite, but I read that satellites often flicker which I didn’t see at all. I kept zooming in and out hoping the video would show the high speed that this object was traveling. Toward the end a plane passes by and I kept them both in frame to compare speeds. While they seemed to be moving at a similar rate of speed, the object was at a substantially higher elevation well above all the clouds making me believe it is traveling extremely fast. I didn't think it was a plane because I couldn't see wings or anything dark. It was just a white perfectly cigar shaped object cruising by and never flickered. It never tilted or anything mid flight and I also never saw it disappear before my eyes, it just kept going until it was out of view. [NUFORC annotation: Aircraft - Possible]

Pompton Lakes, NJ
I was sitting on lower patio looking at trees in my yard when this football shaped object entered the yard to my right flying to my left in a u about 10 feet off the ground out the other side of the yard. It then reappeared over my pool about 40 feet off the ground stopped and remained still for a couple of seconds then out to the left again, still no sound. It was about 2.5 to 3 feet in length and about 1 foot in height in the middle, I couldn’t tell top from bottom, no lights no wings no tail, no markings and no sound. It’s color was light grayish blue like over cast sky. This wasn’t a drone, I have 2 DJI phantoms and the kids up the street have the Mavic type drone and you hear them before you see them. This thing was fast and Quiet.

On the date and time stated in report details a severe thunderstorm was occuring. To share the event I shot several videos of the event. Upon sharing them with my wife on 08/15/20 we witnessed the craft traveling at a high rate of speed against the high winds of the storm. It was moving from west to east well above the tree line. It was hard to make out in the rain but made no noise. This is first time we have ever witnessed anything like this and was quite suprising to see in a video of a storm.

30 oval lights flying in 2 abreast trail formation. Objects observed flying at a speed and altitude similar to what would be seen watching the ISS flying at 45 degrees above the horizon. Observation was pure luck. I had been watching the meteorite shower for maybe 25 minutes when I started following a dull bright satellite across the sky from the south to the north, it flew almost directly overhead my location, as I watched it descending in the northern sky it was intersected by the path of the other objects flying from west to east

Stanwood, WA
Primarily points of light, similar to stars, slightly brighter. Roughly 20 of them in a line, spaced apart and staggered, with one triangular formation in the center. They were moving East at a gradual pace. I, the observer, had just arrived home from work, and I often look at the stars to appreciate their beauty. I've seen plenty of satellites, shooting stars, and planes at night. I've never seen a UFO. And so I was surprised to see a new formation of stars in the sky, and even more surprised to see them moving. It had an "unsettling" effect on me, as the sight was so unusual and out of place.
