I saw a huge craft off of I-5. At first I thought it was a plane but realized it was too big and it was hovering. I saw something fall out of the bottom of it that had lights also. I was driving and couldn’t pull over and take video. I was shocked at what I was seeing and am totally convinced that there is no way I could have been the only witness.

My buddy and I were smoking in an open field when we both were struck with a very bright light that blinded us for a second. Our best guess was lightning but there wasn’t a could in the sky. We were completely alone in the dark and have no explanation for where this light came from. Our friend had just passed away the day before so we thought maybe it could have been him, but my best guess is a ufo.

I Was sitting outside enjoying the night sky. I looked to the north and saw ufo's in a formation. They were a very bright solid white color. They were moving slow at first then they took off at a very high speed. I went in to get my phone so I could get pictures but when I got back outside the objects were gone.

Boston, MA
Witnessed approximately a dozen or more bright orange lights in the eastern sky, heading west or north, in a loose formation. No discernible sounds. Objects too far to perceive any shapes. Recorded video, but due to street lights and passing vehicles, unable to get useful footage. Formation appeared too close to be civilian or commercial aircraft. Objects were relatively slow moving, no visible discharge. Witnessed by myself and a friend. Male and female, late 30s, city residents.

I live in the flight patterns of Hill AFB and SLC Intl Airport. I was sitting on my front patio looking at the flights heading for SLC when I saw an object flying north east towards the Wahsach mountains. The I took a picture with my phone then got my binoculars and was able to see it appeared to be metallic (silver) shaped like a pill with a dark band around the forward end. I estimate the altitude at about 1500-2000 ft traveling at about 50-60 knots. I thought it was a mylar balloon, if it was going with the wind I would expect it to tumble. This pill was flying straight and true. Unfortunately the phone pic a white blur.

Blue light, saucer maybe cylinder shaped. A bright blue that faded into lighter blue/ white . Driving West on 84 in Livermore and saw it on my left hand side . Too low and large to be a plane or a toy. Seamlessly moved quickly on straight line and vanished.

Iuka, IL
My wife's alarm went off to get ready for work. I got up to have a cigarette and heard a humming sound when I cracked the door open. As I step out the noise gets more quiet. I look up above me and about 15 feet up was a sphere, it was by the tree and above my well.I got a good look at it. Best description is fire in the sky but it wasn't fire the inside had orange, red and yellow colors that were spinning almost looked like a galaxy inside as the whole thing flashed also, but it was not glass it was like translucent metal a very advanced small flying device not from this planet for sure. It went straight up then to the left in the opening above my trees, at this point I grabbed my dog and put the dog inside I felt threatened. I put the dog in and looked out the door and didn't see it. I stepped back out and seen it had moved closer to the house but above the tree. I just got a new phone and was trying find the camera and it moved back left in the opening.I s! tayed close to the door as it went straight up and to the left, then it went to the right above my trees slow and I had the door held open at this point, when it was out of my view I got back inside and told my wife. I went back out and it was gone last I seen it was headed west. It was a little bigger than a bowling ball maybe beach ball size and made sense on how it was flying it could sit still move any direction quick or slow. This was way too advanced to be ours it's not from this planet. My dog would not go outside in the morning she was scared to go out and refused. We live way out in the country it had no business here.

i was looking through my telescope at the planet they call venus, but it doesnt look like a planet. It does not flicker like all the other planets and stars. I bumped my telescope a little and i saw an outline of a massive planet beyond venus. It was black and all i could see was the outer edges. This planet was so big i had to move my telescope around to see the whole thing. I am very surprised nobody else has reported this. The planet was at least 10 times the size of the sun and i doubt it it belonged to our solar system. I have been looking for it since but it has been cloudy so i have had zero success. I want to know what is going on with venus. I want to know what that black planet is. I see strange things in the sky on a regular basis. I also have one thatappears on my canera like a plane but it turns and start getting brighter then it backs up and goes out the way it came in. No plane does that. Or helicopter.

Sycamore, IL
I was driving home from my sisters around 11:30pm at night Wednesday, Aug 5th 2020. About a mile from home I noticed a bright object in the sky over the cornfields off to my right. It seemed strange to me immediately, and I pulled to the side of the road to look at it. The object seemed to be made entirely of light. It was so bright and twinkly, I couldn't clearly see the perimeter, but it was oblong/oval/tic tic-tac shaped, and at least 20 or more times larger than the a bright star or planet. It appeared to be in our atmosphere, as it sat, unmoving in the sky. Saturn was bright that night, and this object appeared in the sky near Saturn, so it was easy to have a frame of reference. I watched for between one and two minutes. The object never moved. Not closer or further, not left or right. After watching for those couple minutes and being totally mystified, I got spooked and drove the remaining mile home. When I got home. I came out to look at Saturn. No oval light in sight.

It was a huge ball of light it zoomed across the sky, but it was like right above the tree line above Walmart and stayed still then it disappeared within seconds creating a boom sound. There was a seen helicopter earlier in the day.

My son and I were in our backyard last night on Wednesday, August 5, 2020 at 9:20pm stargazing. I saw what looked like a giant military, C5 transport plane coming directly overhead, from East to West. The plane was lit up, so we could see it easily, but we also noticed that there was more to it, behind the plane. I had my binoculars and I could see it was very long. Well behind the plane there was another plane partially lit up. It was about the same size as the monster transport plane in the front. As it went overhead, and started to pass toward the west, we could see that they were connected by a large, long middle, as if it were one, large long ship like in the beginning of Star Wars movie. It was actually quite quiet considering how close it was, and how large it was, but it did sound like a plane, but far, far away. The object, or ship just continued westward. It didn't do anything crazy or anything, so I suspect it was a man-made object, but I've neve! r seen anything like it.

Sarasota, FL
Last night Aug 5, 2020 I went outside around 8:30PM to water my plants. As I was looking at them I thought I would take a picture on my phone of the front of my house because I had recently re- landscaped and was happy with the outcome. Minutes after I took the picture I thought I would send it to my son’s so they could see how it came out. After I sent the picture I went back to look at it myself and as I made the picture larger on my phone I looked to the left of the larger palm in my yard and noticed 2 saucer shaped things in the sky. They don’t appear to have color. There was no noise because if there were I believe I would have looked to my left. I didn’t see these with my naked eye because I was focused on my front yard. I called my son’s and asked them to make the picture larger on their phones and just asked if they noticed anything, I didn’t tell them what I thought because I wanted an honest answer. They all had remarks mostly surprised at what they thought they were seeing. I live in Sarasota Fl. These things were north of my house, right next to Interstate 75 near Exit 205. Maybe a cloud formation maybe a reflection, I’m just not sure. Weird they are so similar in shape.

Delanco, NJ
On August 5th at approximately 8:30pm. We were walking north by the Delanco river in NJ. The sky was clear, and the wind was calm. I noticed what I thought was a possible Blackhawk formation. I was an airborne paratrooper in the military and I am familiar with all domestic and foreign aircraft. I’ve flown and jumped out of many fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft. I’m also an electrical engineer. After about a minute of observance. I realized this was something different. Something I’ve never witnessed before. I consider myself a man of science and I am a true sceptic of unexplained events. Until there are answers I will be impacted by this event. Initially we noticed 3 objects in a Triangle formation. Orange in color and possibly pulsating. The objects seen to be coming towards us and then they appeared to be retreating in the north direction. These objects seem to be at an altitude of approximately 4000 ft. Approximate size and shape if the illuminated objects were 20ft to 100ft in diameter. As we continued our walk the 3 initial objects became blocked by the trees. At that time my niece noticed anther object higher in altitude and to the North East of the other objects. As we observed this object we noticed an even more faint object to the East of that object. This one eventually faded out like a dimmer switch to a light. We then regained sight of the first 3 objects. At this time, we saw one on the objects fade out. Then reappear to the west approximately 5 to 10 miles away from its last seen position. This was in a matter of 20 to 30 seconds. I have a video of one of the objects that was at a higher altit! ude and to the north east. Later identified as sky lanterns. PD

I noticed the UFO hovering in midair and thought it was a balloon. On further inspection I saw that it was not in fact a balloon, but a plane-like shape. The object hovered in midair for a few seconds longer and then started to slowly fly away. It was moving much slower than a plane would. The object continued in the same direction and eventually moved out of sight behind a tree.
