Two friends and myself were sitting in the parking lot of the oak park mall facing west towards Gardner Kansas. We were admiring the sunset and the odd shapes of the clouds in the sky when we noticed a pyramid shaped craft with at least 3 orbs underneath it moving in a circular motion. When I pointed out the odd looking craft/object my friends also were able to confirm they were witnessing it as well. While watching this I made a comment about the shapes of the other clouds in the sky. There were very blatant iconic shapes made of the clouds. One was the eye of Horus and another was an ankh shape. It was as If this craft was creating this for us but the craft was doing nothing at all aside from hovering high up and rotating it orbs underneath. My friends and I were not under any kind of influence nor had any of us not slept recently or any thing like that. This was one of the most odd experiences of my life. On a final note both me and my friend who was in the passenger seat of my car filmed this thing as well as took pictures with our cell phones. When we went to look at the videos and photos later, they were all either missing or were so distorted that you couldn't make out anything in the pictures or videos at all. The missing videos, photos, and distorted pics worried all of us a lot. We hadn't spoken to anyone outside of us who were in the car about this event so it was very odd that the media would be missing or corrupted as it was.

I was sitting on my front steps. Something caught the corner of my eye. A small white tictac shaped object was silently streaking across the sky, right above the church, across the street from my house. I watched it for probably 5 seconds before I realized I could record it with my phone. It continued across the sky until out of sight.

In the early morning hours I woke up to witness out of my bedroom window a white/candle light colored sphere flying around within the same area over a group of trees nearby. Not radical or very fast movements, more slow and intentional. This object stayed within the same area for the 2.5 hours I sat and watched. I did wake my husband to take a look and he witnessed it for the couple minutes before returning to bed. I did not witness the departure and am unsure of how much longer it stayed in that area. This object was much larger than the security light at a close neighboring farm and larger than the airplanes flying by for comparison. I did try to capture video from the bedroom window but oddly it wouldn't show up as big or clear as was seen by my eyes.

At about 1:03 a.m., in the early morning hours of August 10, 2020, I saw something out of the corner of my eye coming over the distant trees to the south. It was faint but very distinctive. The sky was completely clear and dark but this object resembled something as it might be traveling through clouds because it was very hazy and muted. Yet, I was able to make it out clearly. It was shaped like a very wide V but the point was a bit more curvilinear-kind of like a boomerang. Each side of the V was made up of about three rows of thin, parallel striations of light that crossed the V lines. Think of train tracks, or a flock of geese flying in formation. That is what it reminded me of, with the outstretched wings representing the lights. Only you would have about three rows of geese side-by-side. The color of the lights was a golden yellow to orange. This object was about 5 times the size of an airplane that you would see way up in the sky, where sound from the plane can no longer be heard—from where I sat it appeared as about a ½” to ¾” object. There was no sound whatsoever--it was completely silent. I saw the UFO come into view as it passed over the trees to the south of me. It moved faster than a plane that passes overhead, but it didn’t streak across the sky either. It moved at a consistent rate in a completely straight line from the south to north, and my gaze followed it until it passed over rooftops and trees in the distance. I would say I watched it for about 10-15 seconds. I came inside and drew a picture of it, then took a photo of the drawing, altering it a bit to make it look similar to what I saw if anyone is interested in seeing it. It is the strangest thing I’ve ever seen and I can’t get it out of my mind.

It was beautiful clear night not a cloud in sight, I just got home from driving 15 mins from work and wanted to chill out before going inside. I decided to stargaze just for a few, while I was staring up at the stars through my sun roof the stars went black and I couldn’t see them, a few seconds go by and an orange orb appears and there’s 6 of them in a row and 3 in a column. I was astonished at what I was seeing, there was no noise no wind nothing and as soon as it leaves the sight of the sun roof it disappeared.

Single light [which I thought was a satellite] passing west of Altair moving north slowly towards Lacerta, split into two lights. One traveling in the opposite direction towards Delphinus. The light traveling north blinks out after 10 seconds. The second moves in a erratic pattern, blinking out between Saturn and Jupiter. Sighting lasted about 1 minute. I have been using telescopes since 1974. I have witnessed the space station, space shuttle and various satellites over the years. This never happened before and I was compelled to record the event. I was with my wife, who also witnessed the event.

Before the moon rose, several lights were witnessed following a trajectory overhead going both directions, north to south. I acknowledge this activity was taking place during the Persied meteor shower, and several meteors were seen as well, but these lights moved back and forth like they were traveling along some sort of cosmic highway. There were moments where lights would phase in and out in stationary positions, as if one were turning a light bulb on and off. The event lasted from dusk until the moonrise at approximately 1am EDT.

A total of 10 orange bright lights move across the sky. No sound 2 at first then 4 then 2 more 2 more. Their was no surface wind. They started just over the tree. Probably over the Potomac river across from Indian Head naval on the Virginia side. Went up the Occoquan river turned north, climb up higher and disappeared. I have on video tape. People how watched say military in stealth, sky lanterns, drones, UFOs but its nothing like i have ever seen here at my house and i have lived here 50 years.

Sedona, TX
Started 334 degrees NW shot upwards to about 30 degrees NE stopped & lit up very brightly & shot straight up into space. It looked like a very close shooting star but traveling in the opposite direction. Instead of shooting in a downwards curve it went in an upwards curve coming from the earth into the night sky. I’ve seen things before that was kind of questionable....but this was very in my face and very unexplainable.

I was on my motorcycle riding west bound on log road. The night was clear and I saw two very bright orange orbs above me. I pulled into herbert's nursing homes parking lot and looked at the sky. I saw both orbs move in a straight line similar rate of speed as an aircraft. I then got back on my bike and left the scene.

After we saw weird bright lights over the ocean we saw a light ovalish duck behind a the dunes and then light up the dunes with very bright lights. We then saw 3-4 white light objects I do have a picture. A hour later we drove by that same beach and saw a HUGE red light that got smaller and started as a oval, then a half upside down oval, then a rectangle, then just vanished.

I was in my pool, looking up and heard an airplane above. I looked and saw a small personal plane flying over head, to the left of the plane I saw an object that I initially thought was a hawk. I have chickens so I was wary of having hawks overhead so I watched it to see if it would come down from where it was. It was very high up in the air, it had what I could imagine was a wing span. I was waiting for it to circle the air the way hawks do and it didn't, it just hovered, then it moved slowly. I figured it was a hawk surfing the wind. But it still didn't behave like a hawk. So I thought maybe it was a vulture or an eagle. I came to the conclusion that it was a type of eagle or vulture. I kept staring at it, it must have been about 1 minute by this point. The airplaine was out of sight. Then all of a sudden, it changed direction and shape and what looked like a bird then looked like a dark ball or sphere/disc with a slight shine to the top of it and it seeme! d like it was rotating while it quickly descended downward at an angle of about 45 degrees with a purpose, no wavering it was a clean line,toward the direction where the plane was headed although the plane was not on a descent. the object had no wings at this point. I wondered if it was a drone? I looked up drones with retractable wings but couldn't really find any. I also looked up drones that look like birds and couldn't find a match. I know drones have lights, but this thing didnt have any. So strange.

Last night there was a terrible storm. Our electric went out at 1:30am CT. My husband and I were talking, the storm significantly quieted down with long periods of time in between distant thunder. The sky still had consistent lightning. We heard a craft fly over us, and it was very loud and peculiar sounding. It was very fast and sounded like the stereotypical spaceship flying sound from tv shows and films. We looked at each other shocked. My husband commented that at first he was wondering if it were a tornado when it first started. A few minutes later it happened again, following the same flight path [I believe NE to W, but am not certain] though it was somewhat quieter. We get a lot of fly over from military and commercial, and are familiar with normal flight sounds. This was unlike anything we've ever heard, and with as much lightning and with as loud/low as the craft sounded like it was flying, I am unsure whether a military or commercial craft would fly that low in these conditions over a residential area. The sounds also did not follow the path of streets near us. We did not see anything. Could it be a rare sound created by weather? Do traditional aircraft somehow sound different in certain storm conditions?

One ufo stayed still for hours after half an hour of spotting it something shot out yet the first object remained still continuing to flash brighter than any star after that nothing happened but I went to look back at it and the object was just gone no trace or trail it appeared to blink different colors violently and rapidly while I sat still in the sky. When I tried to take a photo or video it was on screen for a brief second then disappeared completely yet I could still look in the sky and see it. Sorry if this didn't help just figured this information could be useful.

The lights quickly changed to white and then back to orange/red as more lights lit up around it in a square formation. It hovered in the sky for more than 12 minutes and then disappeared. I have photos which reveal a shadow of the shape around the craft.

Awoke. Felt "compelled" to step out into my backyard, overlooking the University of Kentucky. Glowing elongated orb caught my eye. Glowing, elongated orb, flashing white multi-colors: Kept bursting with energy/more light output. Then, changing of colors. Predominantly orangish-red from warm white. May have caught a blueish flash as well. As i write this, it is still visible. Now 35 minutes, although it has moved South slightly. This craft is one of dozens I have witnessed over the decades in many locales, beginning in the 1960's.

Me and my Mom were relaxing in the hottub Looking up at the sky hoping to see a shooting star. There were alot of Tall trees to the left of us, and from over the trees we saw one bright light, at first my mom thought it was a satelite until two more bright lights followed behind it making a triangle shape. Me and my mom could clearly see the shape of a triangle in the sky, the triangle was darker than the sky and you could see the sky behind it. The triangle had three bright lights on each corner of it. The Triangle slowly cruised over the night sky without a sound, then the triangle stopped and proceeded to hover up into the sky until it was out of view. From the time me and my mom saw the triangle until it was out of view was about 2 minutes. It was an experience I will never forget.

I had traveled cross country from California to North Carolina, on August 8 between 11:30 and midnight I saw the UFO. We had stopped at Crosswind campgrounds for the night, I had been in the RV for quite some time so I took a walk alone to stretch out. Our campsite was B73 I walked about 3-5 minutes to the lakeside and looked at the water and admired how still it was. From roughly about a mile away from under the bridge I saw a white light with a red center it began coming in my direction extremely fast. It went behind a group of trees and powered down. I own jet skis and no jet ski moves that fast and didn’t disturb the water.

11:30pm, a great night for star gazing from the back patio. I’m showing off my astronomy skills so my girlfriend asks “what is that star?” I look at it and it’s really really high up to be a plane or a helicopter. It was whiteish with seemingly red flashes. I must have been staring at it for ten straight minutes and it begins dancing in the sky! It still look like a star at this point but the movements were totally unnatural, up, down, left, sideways, diaganol, and the speeds it must have been moving at weren’t possible. That’s when it happened. As we’re staring at the first UFO, a second UFO appears hovering maybe two streets behind our house, at a height of a 4 story building. We got an incredible view of it because it has flown so close. My best description would be that it looked Roomba (robot vacuum cleaner) hovering in the air. It was too dark to accurately report a color. Looked darker and metallic maybe. It was circular and seemingly to totally flat! on top and bottom. I would guesstimate that it wasn’t very large, maybe the size of a small circular coffee table. It wasn’t rotating at all. I could tell because it had this bright blinking red light like a security camera and some dimmer white lights built in, but the lights weren’t spinning and the red flashing light was aimed right at us the entire time. This creeped us out because it almost looked like it knew we were looking and was looking back at us. Moving so so slow through the sky. At first I thought a neighbor kid might have a drone, but as it did a fly by, I quickly realized no drone would look like that. There were no propellor, a very light whooshhhhhhhhh sound was made, and it glided through the air but so so slowly. Felt like 5 mph. This part of the experience last 2 minutes or so, but it was enough to scare us to go inside. I looked over at my girlfriend and we (sane and rational intellectuals) both sat there trying to grasp what we just witnessed. It re! ally didn’t feel real. After a few minutes, a collection of ab! out 3 mo re star looking lights appeared in the sky. Again, very high in the sky, red/white in color, variations of different movements but mostly stationary. Background: Me: Male, 28, Pennsylvania. Bachelors degree in Economics, Master of Business Administration degree. Currently work as an investment analyst for a investment management firm. GF: Female, 28, Pennsylvania. Doctorate of Pharmacy degree. Works in retail pharmacy. We have both never seen anything like it, it was scary/interesting/weird/mind-opening. I really didn’t know if I believe until I saw the second one. If it was a drone, that drone would cost $1 million.
