Fresno, CA
On August 5, 2020 at after 7 PM in my backyard in Fresno,Ca I had my Panasonic HC V 180 Camcorder when I noticed what looked to be a star like object moving and coming from the W direction then I started videotaping it. As it kept the same speed with no sound it then made a (R) turn heading South. The next town over would be Fowler. I tried my best to keep my camera steady. I noticed it was changing shape and colors. It was pink and green. A man in L.A. in 2015 witnessed the same object I did. I also have a video still of the object. During this week in August was during the full moon. Yet, I cannot remember if the moon was out that night. The night sky was very clear I heard what I thought were two Helicopters but, unable to see them. By this time, I had gone back in the house. I was the only witness. The object was high. Unknown how high exactly. Probably as high as a small plane would go. Thank You MUFON Video Case # 110752

I was in the back yard area of my apartment complex with only my dog when I saw what I thought was a drone. 1 solid black object that appeared to be a pentagonal pyramid flying slowly through the air. It looked to be about the size of a small car and less than 1000ft or so from the ground. It was about a mile from my location. It moved from the NE to the North gaining altitude in a slow bank. I saw lights like big LEDs that lined the edge of the craft and were colors like red and green that lit in sequence like a wave. The movement was the strange part since it wobbled like a poorly thrown frisbee and rotated clockwise in relation to the ground fairly slowly. From what I can tell it had to have crossed I-35 from East to West. I continued to watch it move in a Northerly direction until it got out of sight still gaining altitude. Hardly a cloud in the sky, at least in that direction. I have 20/15 vision, and I'm a veteran. I have never seen anything like it and I've had interest in aircraft since childhood having attended a handful of airshows. It wasn't a conventional craft. It wasn't a piece of trash because this thing was clearly rigid and to well defined, especially considering the lights. Hence, why my first thought was a drone. I knew something was wrong when I noticed the strange movement of it. It also had no trail or noise signature. I have recorded some video of it on my Snapchat.

The background is a blue sky. The shape of the UFO is indescribable. UFO was moving from north to south at about tree top level at a very slow speed as if looking for something.

Three unmistakable lights moving at a speed that i cannot imagine. All in the form of a triangle. Appeared to be connected by a common siloette although i am only definite for the three lights moving south to north. Very surreal. Thanks

Me and my boyfriend we're going to our lake house one night last summer and we were pulling in to the area that we live and you can go right to the lake or left to our house and looking right to the lake there's like a couple balls of fire in the air except they're coming out of nowhere and they're slowly just going in a line formation and then they all sat there about eight of them and we drove down to where we could get a clear view and once we got there they were gone, later that night tho I looked up and saw this above us , all night. A couple weeks later I saw another ufo type and I have photographs of the 2nd and 3rd encounter.

Maryville, TN
We saw a bright light, almost like it was something with 4 bright LED lights, in the sky. It wasn't moving, and so I figured it wasn't a star, and wasn't likely an airplane just sitting there like that, so I went to go get the camera and my son followed me outside. It looked like a diamond. The bottom 3 lights were so close together you couldn't really see where one began and the other ended. The light on top was just slightly enough separated from the rest so you could see it was an individual light. I take a picture and I'm looking at it through my screen when I noticed it started moving. It then looked as if it dimmed it's lights and started blinking. I could swear it was blinking red with the white as it slowly began moving to the left. I panicked and got my kids back inside at that point. That was like nothing I've ever seen before in the sky. And I sit there staring at the starts every night. When we came back inside my 4 year old tells my husband, &qu! ot;Daddy we saw a Diamond in the sky." I hadn't even had the chance to say that's what I thought it looked like. So we were definitely seeing the same thing.

Miami Beach, FL
My friend and I were on our patio in Miami Beach about 10 PM and I looked up and saw a strange object moving across the sky. It looked like flames were coming off the sides of a fast moving object making a delta shape. It was moving fast and on a consistent path across the sky. It seemed to be high altitude and fairly bright. I am an airline pilot so have a lot of experience lookin at objects in the sky and have seem nothing like this before.

At first I thought it was a plane leaving a trail, but this was going from up to down in direction. At first it left a bit of a trial but then it was just a massive long shape. It looked white from the distance I was at. Sky was completely clear, this was the ONLY object in the sky. WAY bigger than a plane. Could not have been aircraft, I live by both DFW and Dallas Love Field, I see many planes daily.

Norfolk, VA
My husband was the first to spot it while he was resting on a chaise after some yardwork. Initially he thought it might be “floaters” in his eye, but then he was able to repeatedly see it even after looking away. He called for me to come out and see. The object appeared as a star that was visible almost straight overhead, and about at 1:00 to the west. It was 11:00AM on the morning of August 4, 2020. We continued to observe it for at least an hour with initially our naked eye and then with two different pairs of binoculars. It appeared to be reflecting the sun in a clear blue sky, not emitting its own source of light. With the naked eye it appeared as a star. With binoculars it took on an oblong shape, according to my husband. To me, it was oblong , but I could also see some angles and an obvious red color at one end of the structure. Once I told my husband that I clearly saw the red spot, he was able to also make it out to a degree ,though not as clear to him as it was to me. I almost think I was seeing an airplane like shape, with the red area being on the upper left, but being unable to keep the binoculars steady enough for long enough, I can’t be certain. It was pretty much stationary for the entire time. It may have meandered slightly as we had trouble finding it with our naked eye at one point, but when we finally did pick it out again, we were viewing it at a slightly different spot in our yard. Upon viewing it with the binoculars from this spot, the red area was more beneath the white star. We called our neighbor over and he also observed it with his naked eye and then his own binoculars.

Glasgow, KY
Event occurred on the Louis B Nunn Cumberland Parkway between Glasgow KY and Bowling Green KY. Time of the event was between 5am and 5:15 am. I was driving west on the Cumberland Parkway towards I-65. Just past the last Glasgow KY exit I saw what appeared to be the woods on fire, everything was red up ahead and into the woods, a minute or two after seeing the red from the sky to the ground I observed several round silver disk shaped objects with six white lights on the bottom of the craft. The first one I observed was approximately 400 to 500 ft in the air and there were similar craft on both sides of the road. As I continued driving, I saw multiple similar craft all over the sky. They appeared to be stationary and I would say there was 8 to 10 of them. Several miles down the road right around the I-65 south exit from the Cumberland Parkway, I observed many more of the same type craft but higher up in the air, maybe another 6 -8 craft. There were sev! eral other cars in the area and a motorcycle right behind me. I would really be interested if anyone else reported this sighting.

Madison, WI
This sighting took place over two nights/ mornings starting on August 4th, 2020. August 4th, 2020- 0300 hours: I witnessed a large in scale object in the sky in a Northeast position above the State Capitol building in downtown Madison Wisconsin. It was emitting an extremely bright white light that was almost difficult to stare at due to it's intensity. The object in question was mostly stationary in the sky only varying a pattern of clockwise movement in a minute fashion, and was slowly rotating on axis. It was roughly 30 to 40,000 feet in altitude, and in comparison to cargo jets flying nearby it was determined to be at least 4 to 5 times the size of a large jumbo jet (example being an Airbus A380). The object in question was not a satellite or the ISS due to it's size, placement within the atmosphere/ sky, and contradiction to ISS flight path per NASA source. 0330: I witnessed several small lights/ lighted objects dart out of the primary object in question, they flew out in all directions toward the horizon. The object maintained a super- vibrant light emission and proximity to the aforementioned. 0400: The object began to slowly move upward in the sky and diminish in size as if moving out of the atmosphere. Just after dawn broke it was gone. August 5th, 2020- 0300: The object in question returned, but at a much higher altitude/ further distance than the prior night, it again maintained a somewhat fixed position for a period of time though was rotating on axis more. I maintained observation as able while performing work duties. 0330: I observed the object in question intensify and diminish it's light projection, and begin to move to higher altitude/ outward toward atmosphere, then back to previous altitude. 0400: I observed several of the smaller lights/ objects move from west to east under the primary large craft in question, then spontaneously disappear just low and east of the large object. The large object had maintained the high intensity light emission once again. 0430: The large object in question once again moved upward and outward in a moderate consistent pace out of the atmosphere until it had disappeared from physical view right around dawn breaking. End of Report.

My boyfriend and I were, and still are, perplexed by what we witnessed. There were no other cars on the road, and no visible houses on that section of the highway. The crafts moved, and dropped over the ridge of the mountain in a way that I cannot explain, and no amount of research has led to any sort of explanation. These objects were not drones, and they were far too low to the ground to be satellites, planes, or helicopters. They moved with intent, and hovered silently over the open field.

Cloverdale, CA
UFO sighting over Cloverdale California Tuesday August 4th 12:23am. History of observer: • 56 years of age male, Senior Optical Engineer • Designer of high resolution astronomical imaging systems • Amateur astronomer and Astrophotographer for 41 years. Planetary observation session was interrupted by an object that was not easy to dismiss as an aircraft, satellite, meteor or man-made space debris. Observed was a -5 magnitude star-like object traveling from SE to NW at a speed slightly faster than the a typical fly over of the International Space Station. First spotted SE of the Sturgeon full moon passing and travel NW exactly between the moon and Saturn. It rose higher into the sky traveling at a constant velocity to an altitude of 38º to 42º above the "due south" horizon before its startling disappearance. What was unusual about this object: • Just before it disappeared from the sky it rapidly accelerated for 500 to 600 milliseconds. • The rate of its extinguishing light after the rapid acceleration was startling. Not at all like a typical satellite darkening into the earth's shadow or tumbling in sunlight. • Sighting occurred just after midnight and a satellite could not have been illumined by the sun. • Color was white to slightly yellow and had a slight haze surrounding its star-like appearance. • Westerly orbiting satellites are very unusual. • To verify it was not local aircraft out of Santa Rosa or San Francisco a flight tracker app was checked within seconds of the sighting. No aircraft were in the air between SFO and the Oregon border. He notified his sister with a text to verify time, location and document the event. This was only the second object the observer could not identify over his observing history.

I was outside on my porch at approximately 11:40 pm in a north west direction I saw what looked like a plane at first. I watched for well over 10 minutes the object move left, right, up and down. The object never moved quickly, more bobbed about slowly. As stated I watched for a good amount of time and pointed it out to my wife. The object continued in a north west direction and eventually got behind trees I could not see clearly through.

Woodburn, OR
August 3 2020. This all happened during a power outage that affected 112 customers which began at 7:30pm and lasted until sometime after 2:00am. Around 11:30pm I first noticed a cluster of approx 15 small red lights rather high in the sky. Hard to judge altitude and distance at night. From my viewing point they (or it) were about 10 o'clock high. Some brighter than others. No discernible pattern or shape. They maintained their positions and simultaneously flashed on and off at a rate of about once per second. This lasted for only a few seconds then went completely dark. I heard no sound. 30 seconds or so after this sighting, I saw a bright white spherical object moving erratically straight up and down not to far above the nearest treeline about 3/4 miles distant . The object looked to be between 2-5 miles away. At that distance it would measure at least 20 ft wide. It would shoot up above the nearest treeline and then shoot back down, sometimes higher or lower, but never so far down that I couldn't see it through the trees. Nothing that I know of could possibly go as fast as this thing was going. I never really saw it moving. It would be up in one instant and down in the next. This lasted for about 6 or 7 seconds then went dark. Maybe 30 seconds later I saw the same object at about the same distance but much farther to my right. Its behavior and duration was as I described for the first sighting. I heard no sound at all. I can't explain what is was, but it was NOT a helicopter, hot air balloon, fireworks, lightning, a reflection, meteor, comet, temperature inversion, or swamp gas. The sky was cloud free and crystal clear.

Kittery, ME
I was sitting on my front porch when I noticed what I initially thought was a particularly bright star. Realized it was moving and my next thought was satellite. It was moving slowly in a linear fashion so that made sense and I thought hey that's pretty cool. It then appear to shift slightly one way then back the other before continuing in its linear direction. Thought my eyes were okaying a trick on me so I concentrated on it intently for a few minutes and it was definitely making slight harsh zags to the left and right occasionally. My guess is whatever it was was at cruising height for aircraft so my, admittedly uneducated assumption was the zig zag pattern had to be pretty significant to observe from my distance. I only saw one these objects in the 5 minutes I was observing it. I observed it as being well above the tree-line against a mostly clear sky. The view from my porch faces east about a mile from the ocean.

I was walking my dog this evening, like I've done every evening for 20 years in my neighborhood. Tonight as we were walking on platanus Drive, looking directly due north, there was a red oval glowing sphere. We get lots of military aircraft flying from camp Pendleton heading east so we're used to seeing all kinds of stuff, but this was just hovering with a red solid light, then it would go off periodically for a second or two, then get bright red again. Looked very large in the distance not something up close like a drone or anyting. Then it just disappeared

Irvine, CA
On the evening of Monday, August 3, 2020 my son and I stepped outside to enjoy a glorious full moon rising above the trees down our street. At 8:55pm the skies were clear and the temperature was 70° F. My son noticed what appeared to be star above us beginning to move across the sky in a due easterly directly. To be clear, this wasn’t an airplane and didn’t emit the standard FAA blinking light patterns typically associated with commercial aircraft. We both observed the object. As it moved across the sky, I mentioned to my son, “that doesn’t appear to be an airplane.” He agreed. What we both observed can best described is an object resembling a star moving across the night sky, however it definitely wasn’t a shooting star. After approximately ten seconds the object began fading in luminosity, not due to its increasing distance, but as if it was intentionally being faded by a dimmer mechanism. It then vanished completely .

We proceeded tk take photos and videos in the sky and throught the telescope. Looking with the naked eye or phone camera it looked like a star. However the telescope showed its true form. Higher than thr planes in the sky it stood in the same spot. Not moving an ich it seemed to flex from circle to oval shaped. We all sat staring until around 8:36 pm the clouds covered the craft from sight. Thick dark clouds obscured the object however it was visible here and there through spaces in the cloud. A small storm rolled in and the craft completely disappeared from sight. Around 9:13 the storm had passed and looking into the sky the craftwas gone.
