My granddaughter and I watch an opaque oval shaped object travel quickly from the north to the south between big and little cottonwood canyon. At first I thought it was a large signal light but could not see anything coming from the ground and it was not moving.Then the object moved fast south and was out of sight.

Rockport, ME
Was laying in the grass outside my backyard and noticed an orangish orb moving south east between Liconville and Camden. The orb then made a 90° turn towards the ocean for about maybe 5-10miles(10-30 seconds). It stopped. The orb turned white and faded straight up from its last location. No sound. 5-15 minutes later a meteor shot down over Camden and Rockport. The object was 100s if not 1000s of feet higher in the sky.

It looked like a giant kite or glider, it looked like a flock of birds but birds don't fly around at this time. We saw about 3 of them at different times. One was going towards the stars then disappeared and then it was really close to us, and then again we saw the same shape flying higher above us.

A friend and I were camping west of the Bonneville salt flats.we were located 8 miles west in the mountains above Bonneville. We had been looking for meteors and satellites. were very successful in finding meteors and satellites. Just before bedtime we looked up into the sky at 10:30 in the evening and discovered a flashing object very high up in a very clear night Sky. The direction from us was the North West. Prior to the discovery we had been following satellites jet airliners and meteors. I saw an airliner going by and the object appeared to be much higher then the airliner, And lower than satellites. The object flashed 1,2,3 stop 1,2,3 stop continuously I watched it from 1030 to 12 midnight I went to bed woke up at 2 am and it was still up there Flashing, and not moving,It never moveed from its spot. I watched it for another 10 or 15 minutes and went to bed. We both were watching with a pair of binoculars. Without the binoculars the object was very! faint. The color of the Flash was like a white strobe light.8-8-20

Me and husband went out stargazing to see the perseid meteor shower. We were outside laying in the grass, we live in a rural farming country area. We have soybean crops in our fields. We were outside only about 20ish mins when I had seen my first perseid. Then immediately after looking towards the big Dipper I saw a flash of light slowly dissipate. I thought it was odd and it stuck in my mind for a lil bit but then I forgot about it as we laid there talking and staring up. About 15 mins and 2 perseids later, at the same time, we both witnessed what looked like a very very dim star but it was moving, FAST. It was not blinking. It was circular and dim lit. We watched it go from one end of the sky to the other is a super quick succession. And I thought why wasn't it blinking like a plane. I chalked it up to be too far away but as it got closer to the treeline if the northwest sky, some clouds came and and the object had to have been right above the clouds becau! se we suddenly saw a spotlight on the clouds that was coming from the object. But the object was still sooooo dim and you couldn't see the light coming from the craft but u could see it on the clouds. Like it was some form of ultraviolet light my eyes couldn't see but illuminated on the clouds. Then we saw two of the lights over the clouds hovering then disappeared. We were trying to debunk the entire thing and forget what we saw because we couldn't believe it. So we focused back in the sky. A few mins later looking up southwest directly above me , while I was staring up, a dim lit "star" that was suspended not moving suddenly flashed sooooo incredibly bright then went dim and I o served the same kind of object moving extremely fast through the sky and it went all the way north till it was near the clouds again and I witnessed the "spotlight" in the clouds again. It was then I remembered the first flash of light by the big Dipper and I realized this was ! weird. I The objects had no contrails or anything. But I'm gonna be honest, either the multiple crafts we witnessed were communicating through the flashes or I felt like , in some weird way, which I know this crazy, but I felt like they almost noticed that we noticed them. I have no idea how. It was so strange. Everything got extremely eerie so we decided to go in. That was a little after 2300hrs. I couldn't sleep last night and this is all I keep thinking of and I'm scared. So I found this website to report it and get it off my chest. But I keep thinking how they are out there. They could be out there right now on the sunny summer bright day and we wouldn't even know it.

About 10:30pm last night, 8/8/2020, I was outside walking my dog when a light caught my attention, it was a bright red/orange solid orb in the sky, it went left extremely quick from the position it was in and then right to the same original location, it then came towards my location at en extreme rate of speed. I then noticed that 2 V-22 Osprey were following it, I've seen them multiple times since Bedminster Golf Club is just a few miles from here, in the video you can see the ospreys lights blinking showing the navigation lights while the orb I saw never blinked and when it passed me went straight up into the air extremely fast and was gone. Before it disappeared, a fighter jet of some kind went flying over extremely fast and loud as well seeming to be chasing whatever was in the sky.

Dayton, NV
I am a retiree from Baltimore,Maryland who now resides in Dayton, Nevada. I am a former Certified Wastewater Treatment Operator. I have a Bachelors of Science Degree in Physical Geography/Cartography from James Madison University, Harrisonburg, Virginia. On the night of August 8, 2020 I decided to sleep on my back deck (for the first time ever) to look at the stars and perhaps the Milky Way if visible. I had just entered my sleeping bag when I noticed what I thought was possibly a satellite moving across the sky. It looked like the size of a planet, larger than a star. Then I noticed another moving "star" directly behind the first moving object. It was not as brilliant but was in a direct line behind the first---at quite a distance away. I waited to see if it would overtake the leading object, but it never varied in distance. Both "stars" moved without sound and at a very slow, deliberate pace, almost like a zeppelin. They moved t! oo slow to be a airplane. As it moved forward, North by Northeast, the front "star" seemed to fade as if going into a cloud or haze. However, neither of these conditions were evident. Meanwhile the trailing "star" seemed to fade as well but took on a red dim glow. It did not flash,blink or strobe. (The front "star" never change color). At one point both "stars" nearly disappeared only to momentarily become brilliant and then again fade. All this while, they maintained the same exact distance in an exact straight line. I looked to see if any surrounding stars were blocked out to reveal a shape between the two "stars". I noted no shape what so ever. However, if this was some sort of "airship", it would have been huge in length. I gazed at the "stars" until they left my range of view. No change in direction or sudden velocity variances. Just a slow and deliberate cruise. It was also very high in ! altitude. That is why I initially believed it to be a satelli! te.

While walking my dog I observed 2 red lights in the sky north of our home. The lights were continuous and not blinking. The lights appeared to be 50-75 feet apart moving independently and rapidly in a southwest direction for approximately 10 seconds before slowing to a stop. After stopping first 1 light slowly faded from sight followed by the other. Approximately 5 seconds after both lights disappeared a third appeared from the same area as the first two, moving more rapidly than the first two in the same direction as the original lights. Upon reaching the same area that the first two lights disappeared the third also slowed to a stop and proceeded to fade from sight. I continued to observe the area for 10 minutes after the last contact, but no further lights were observed .

At approximately 10:30 pm I felt the entire house start to vibrate initially I thought it was a tractor trailer because we live next to a main highwa, but as the vibrating intensified. I stood up and ran out my front door and looked up to see two circle shaped flying objects with extremely bright green lights flashing green lights. The objects seemed to be flying in a downward angle and also my looked connected to each other or flying extremely close together. At this point, phone in hand to shocked to even think to record I yelled out at the top of my lungs WTF IS THAT. Following extremely close to the objects was a black or dark colored helicopter after the initial event three more large black helicopters came following in the same direction. I’m Not saying I just witnessed a U.F.O, but whatever I just saw was extremely strange and the fact that 4 large black helicopters were following it made it even stranger. So I leave you with this WTF DID I JUAT SEE !!!!!

5 people and myself witnessed a string of objects grouped tightly together high in the western sky and moving north to south. Very Agile movements and quite fluid. sudden stops and short bursts of speed. We all agreed that nothing that we know of manmade could perform these physical feasts. They seemed pretty high in altitude. Green, red and white lights yet not Commercial or military or civilian. Very bright and pulsing not blinking. there was one that lagged behind the whole time and at one point it stopped and just looked like a star. After the main group had vanished from sight, it proceeded to follow and was changing colors again.

I was sitting out side with 5 other people. One person jumps up and screams” is that a UFO” everyone hops up and sees the same thing. The aircraft passed in about 10 seconds. A military jet was chasing after the aircraft. The UFO was 10x bigger than the military craft. about a minute later two military choppers were going full speed over the house. About another minute passes and there’s another chopper. Everyone saw the same thing. We all saw a figure 8 glowing green speeding past us.

Standing outside with a friend I looked up and saw a large group of light moving together but not equidistant north to south above us crossing the sky. We excitedly told a table of four to get over here ufo! As they moved on, fist one then a second stopped and were static blending in as stars. The others kept moving. Then suddenly the two that stopped sped up to the others. Their light green to light red lights slowly faded as they turned west.

We were on a rooftop viewing the Persiuds when the glowing green ufo passed directly overhead at a low altitude, followed by what sounded like a military aircraft. The green lights were revolving in a figure eight as the craft moved quickly From east to west towards Manhattan. The military Aircraft that appeared to follow it was very loud.

No processor! Circle of faint reddish glow traveling from south to north in the dark. It stopped then moved and stopped again and moved north bound. There was no noise or fast turns. It looked weird amongst the stars. I live near Lost Nation airport and know what planes look like at night and this was no plane. Just wanted you to check for satellites or air force doing tests? Please check as it was unusual and I can’t believe it.

As I was looking at the moon in the east, I saw a bright orange object spherical object that seemed to be on fire pass in front of the moon. It rose up over the house and water tower directly across the street from me. There was no sound. At first I thought it must be a hot air ballon on fire because of what appeared to be flames around it, but because it kept on going on in a controlled flight to the south and up in the sky. I thought is must be a plane on fire but that didn't make any sense because a plane would have fallen. I ran in the house to get my I-phone and ran back out to take the first picture and could still see the distinct shape and bright orange color but it had gained considerable altitude and distance. In the next immediate shot it was out of sight. I checked to see if any satellites had been launched but there were none on that day. This is my first sighting of such an object, although I have seen others UFO's one very very close and others in the sky the looking distinctly like stars but definitely not acting like stars and witnessed by a crowd of people. I saw the last space shuttle launch and this looked nothing like it. I have 2.5 Maste'rs degrees in education. I am an elementary school teacher of 37 years and teach all subjects. I have a 2 photos of the object.

Two balls of light were circling each other, then going back together as one light. Then the lights separated and floated down the horizon. The color of the lights seemed like a fire yellow color and were very bright. There was no noise.

As I was viewing the planet Jupiter at night with a high-power binocular (25x100), a bright cigar-shaped object shot upwards very quickly to the left of Jupiter. Jupiter was at about 45 degrees above the horizon at the moment it happened. I assume that the unidentified object was going up into space. The binocular was on a steady tripod that my husband had set up.

At 21:33pm August the 8th 2020 our backyard security camera recorded a very bright pulsating flash that lasted approximately 12 seconds. There was no accompanying sound. It's my understanding that the same things have occurred in different areas of the United States.

There was a large orange/red ball of light traveling south to north. It was not flashing. Just a solid ball of light. It was flying somewhat low, about as low as a commercial plane would fly. It was traveling in a straight line and did not disappear at any time. There was no sound associated with it either.

We were laying in a field at a public park in our neighborhood. We were stargazing when we saw a bright objet that appeared to be a star start moving. We live near an airport so we know what planes both look and sound like when they fly overhead. This object did not flash, make any noise, and was definitely not the shape of an airplane. The other thing it did that airplanes cannot do is zig zag. It began moving straight at an insanely high speed and then began making Z shapes in its movement. Again, this object was one bright light source, zig zagged, and did not make a sound. It then flew off and the light became faint and disappeared as though it were going through a cloud - despite no clouds being in the sky. It blended in perfectly with a star, we thought it was a star at first! But this thing was not a star.
