My daughter and I were videoing crazy clouds in a storm that was rolling in and caught something we cannot identify. I have the full video and possibly other videos from my cell phone, if needed. this video is me recording from my daughter's phone. It's the only way we knew how to zoom in and show how fast it really was. It looked like possibly 3-4 different objects. One flew behind the cloud and the others in front. Please let us know what this could be. This form wouldn't let me upload the videos. Occured about 4PM on 8/3/2020.

Ok so,I was sitting on my couch with the door open. Then I heard a strange noise coming from outside, at first I thought it was a plane but no, all of a sudden I saw this beam of light coming down from it. Then it flew off fast.

The morning of August 3rd everyone knew of an impending storm in Massachusetts. That morning on my way to work I traveled to a sspot where I like to look at the water. When I got there I saw a huge, black looking object way out in the distance on the horizon . I took a picture. When I got home that evening from work, the power was out. I called the power company and to my surprise heard a long, growling noise. I hung up and tried again a few times. Each time that was the only sound that was heard. No person available to speak to. Now a few days later I sit down to relax and look back at my pictures. After looking at that one again more closely, I noticed about 8 flying objects. They look like black disks and dots flying around in the sky, some close to each other, some far apart. All of the instances that happened within the 24 hours around the storm are just all too coincidental and now seeing this picture with the black objects in it... It's just really har! d to explain away.

On August 3, 2020 at approximately 1:00 AM I was woke up by the rustling of several large oak trees. I looked out my window up to the sky and saw a thin contrail. It was in the opening in the sky that was covered by a huge gray cloud. There were only a few areas in the sky not covered by the gray mass. I thought it was unusual for a contrail to be in the sky at one am so I kept looking. A bright light appeared in an opening in the gray mask that was to the right. It was slowly moving and disappeared into the gray mass. Then I saw two more bright lights that were horizontally opposite of each other. In my opinion it seemed like the first light could have been in the center of these two forming a triangle. Then the the two lights disappeared into the gray mass as it appeared to cover the entire sky at that point. The next day I looked at our security cameras and unfortunately they do not reach the sky area; however, at the same time I saw the lights i! n the sky an unusual shadow was covering our backyard which gradually disappeared. I checked other nights at that time and for the entire week there were no shadows on the ground showing only on the night I saw the lights in the sky on August 3, 2020 at 1 AM. Thank you.

Canon City, CO
We noticed it and at first we thought it was a balloon. There was no movement. We watched it over an hour. It almost looked like a fire ball with the naked eye. We looked through binoculars and realized there was an individual light rotating around it. There was no sound. It became dusk when we saw it getting brighter. Then 3 huge jets flew around it super fast like they were in a hurry. All of their jet stream came together and turned into a huge cloud and covered over this UFO. Then after the cloud left ironically it disappeared. After we watched it over an hour!! Felt like we were in a movie watching a government cover up.

On Sunday, August 2nd of 2020 my wife and I had just returned home from visiting friends in our Jeep. We were putting the doors and top back on the jeep when I noticed an object giving off light moving from the northwest at a decent speed. The object was silent as it moved across the sky and the reddish orange light it gave off did not pulse. It became stationary due West of my location at approximately 45 to 60 degrees above the horizon. After a short time of being stationary, the object emitted a bluish object or beam downward at an angle of approximately 20 degrees to the North which was moving at an extreme rate of speed similar to a shooting star but it was much tighter focused and did not burn out. Shortly after the object emitted the beam, a slightly larger bluish beam shot up toward the object from the south at an angle of approximately 75 degrees just missing it. The object made no effort to move or avoid the incoming object. After a short while another object passed below my line of sight of the original object. It moved horizontally as a fast moving beam of red light. The original object remained in the sky as if just another star in the sky for the remainder of my viewing. It was getting late at this point and I returned indoors.

Woodbridge, VA
I WENT OUT TO WALK THE DOGS AND STARTING APPEARING IN A LINE FOLLOWING EACH OTHER FROM THE WEST TO THE EAST, IN FORMATION AT ABOUT THE SAME DISTANCE FROM EACH OTHER. THEY TURNED AND HEADED NORTH AND BACK TO THE WEST AND DISAPPEARED. THEY WERE ALL ALLUMINATED IN WHITE TO A PINK COLOR AND MADE NT SOUND AT ALL. AT THE POINT THAT THEY TURNED BACK WEST I COULD SEE ANOTHER CRAFT WITH GREEN BLINKING LIGHST COMING FROM THE NORTH, HIGHER THEN THE CRAFTS AND DOWN TO WHERE THE CRAFTS STATED TURNING BACK TO THE WEST. I WAS AS IT WAS DIRECTING THE OTHERS CRAFTS THAT WAS MUCH BIGGER. THEN THEY ALL JUST DISAPPEARED. I RETIRED FROM THE ARMY WITH 32 YEARS (ACTIVE AND RESERVE) AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN AN CRAFT LIKE THIS WITH NO SOUND AT ALL.

I was sitting in hot tub (So No phone to record) moon gazing when these objects appeared right in my line of vision. They looked kind of like Small blimps With a light on the front. There were 8 of them in a figure 8 formation. A few fallowed slightly behind. I thought it was helicopters but no sound. Then I thought drones? Trying to rationalize what I saw , I got a little scared and almost got out, but didn’t cause I wanted to see more! A few minutes later I heard a crazy loud rumble above me.

On 08/02/2020 approximately 2100 hours, I was star gazing and seen and heard an airplane traveling West to East with typical flashing lights. I had a pair of binoculars and could easily see the plane. Shortly after seeing this plane a circle object with a row of lights traveling Northwest to Southeast. When looking through binocular it appeared as a circle with a cone light tail the front lights number four and were square and extremely bright. there was no noise or exhaust and it traveled across the sky in less then 2 minutes.

At 5:00 AM I looked out my skylight and observed a bright saucer shaped object in the sky. The sky was clear not many clouds at all. I watched it for the 40 mins it was there and it did change when it appeared to be closer it was triangular with three different colors coming from the top. It disappeared at 5:40 AM from the same area of the sky it appeared from.

Baltimore, MD
On the afternoon of Sunday, August 2nd 2020, I was in my 2nd floor living room watching the live stream of the Space X Crew Dragon splashdown. Moments before the splashdown occurred (which was at exactly 2:48pm Eastern) I saw an object outside in the sky, through the southernmost of my three 2nd floor row home windows, which are facing East, and provide a very good view of the sky over Eastern Baltimore. Note: I see a tremendous amount of air traffic through these windows on a daily basis, including police and MEDEVAC helicopters, BWI air traffic (mostly making landing approaches), various private and commercial aircraft, and occasional military overflights (cargo, A-10s, etc.) I have had a lifelong interest in aircraft, have flown a Robinson R-22 helicopter, and can generally identify every aircraft I see. I first noticed this object, I would estimate, about 45-60 seconds before the splashdown at 2:48pm -- the four parachutes on the capsule were deployed, they had switched from the airborne to the the surface/ship-based camera view of the capsule coming down, and I was really trying to pay attention to what was going on on my TV, as I had been watching the stream for a good 45+ minutes, waiting for the safe return. But something about this object out of the corner of my eye, going by in the sky outside, absolutely demanded my attention -- something about it struck me as "off" and worthy of more attention, even though I was distracted by the Space X capsule return going on on my TV. The television was literally saying things like "the spacecraft is about to return," and similar statements. I got up and walked several feet to my window, and looked out at the object. I was completely blown away by what I saw -- it was a highly-reflective/super-shiny ellipsoid, with a clearly-defined surface that looked shiny like a finely-polished steel. I interpreted it as seeing a traditional disc-shaped UFO, seen from the side, but from my point of view it was a longer oval, or ellipsoid. Toward the upper-right corner of this aircraft-sized object, there was an ongoing, irregular flashing or glinting of yellowish light. At first I thought it might be a reflection of the Sun, but for the whole (estimated) 60-90 seconds I saw this thing flying North/Northeast (I would say generally toward Towson/Parkville), there was this irregular glinting, visually evident even when the object was a speck out in the distance in the Northeastern sky near the horizon. As I said, it was clearly the size of an aircraft -- not a balloon. It traveled at a consistent speed and in a consistent direction, perhaps roughly the speed a helicopter would fly at. It did not bob around or make any sudden movements, or apparent changes to altitude or heading. I did not think to photograph the object, because frankly I was utterly stunned by what I was seeing, and the odd synchronicity of seeing a UFO (my only sighting in my ~44 years) at the exact moment of a spacecraft returning to Earth on TV, with the TV issuing a fairly relevant narration for what I was seeing out of my living room window. It was very, very odd. I have had a lifelong interest in UAP, and this is the only thing I have seen that I would remotely describe as a UFO -- and it was not a speck, not a dot, not a light, not something vague -- it was a super-shiny silver disc thing flying by in the middle of the afternoon, totally casually. My estimation is that it was flying relatively low, definitely under a few thousand feet. My sense is it was traveling between my location in Baltimore's Abell neighborhood, and Lake Montebello. I think it was probably near Loch Raven Blvd. I would estimate it was maybe 30-50 feet in diameter? The size of an aircraft, but I think closer to a smaller plane or a helicopter, versus an airliner. No obvious features, just a very shiny/reflective metallic surface, making that weird glinting flash. About a week later I had the idea to see if aircraft flight data is available online, and learned that ADS-B was at that point fully in service (I'd heard about it years earlier, but didn't know it had been fully rolled out). Because I knew the precise several-minute window of my sighting, due to its overlap with the Space X splashdown, I was able to "rewind" to the airspace at the time using Flightradar 24. I saw absolutely nothing, at all, flying over the entire Baltimore 495 area, for a few minutes on either side of the 2:48pm Eastern splashdown. I checked the time many times, to make sure I wasn't making an error in an Eastern to UTC conversion (Flightradar24 historical data is recorded in UTC). Nothing, within the entire circumference of the 495 beltway. I reported this sighting to MUFON about a week after it occurred, but decided recently I would also submit the report to NUFORC in the spirit of completeness.

Husband and I were working on front of home when I noticed fabulous looking linear clouds to west so I took a bunch of pictures. We live on top of Forked Horn Butte and clouds or vapor trails were directly west of Butte. I got some great pictures and two of the pictures you can clearly see a round, metallic looking craft with dark underside. They are pictures so I didn’t observe craft moving. My main interest was the clouds and I got lucky and photographed what appears to be a ufo.

Walden, CO
The objects were large. They were well above 60,000 feet of altitude, well above the few cirrus clouds. At first we thought it was the morning star, but seemed too large and in the wrong place. It did not move in the sky for over an hour. We noticed another. It was smaller, but it also was further away. This one was also stationary for most of an hour. With 2 pair of binoculars and a monocular we agreed they were oval. The center of the oval was dark. They seemed to have an "aura", like a bright light field around them. There is some difference of opinion, but the aura may have been brighter and wider on the short ends. Though the entirity of the objects was quite bright, easily seen in the blue sky with the sun fully risen, there was a VERY bright spot which seemed to be a reflection of the sun. One of us saw that there seemed to be a gray line along the center of the long access. At some point the lower object seemed to change from oval to circular. Perhaps a position shift of a capsule shaped object? When they moved It was NE to SW. The higher one moved rather quickly out of sight crossing from the center of my visual field to 2/3rds toward the edge of my peripheral field in about 20 minutes. The larger, lower one stayed stationary longer then followed the other at a slower pace.

I woke up at 5 am looked out my bedroom skylight window Route 62 facing East in Beverly. The sky was clear, only a few clouds. I noticed a bright saucer shaped object in the sky, hovering far away directly from the east. When it appeared to be moving in closer it changed from one saucer to three saucers then it formed a triangle with red, blue, and orange lights coming from the top. It vanished after 40 mins. I have never seen anything like this.

Albuquerque, NM
When first observed, I was woken up by thunder and lightning but noticed it was a generally clear sky. To the naked eye, it was observed as larger-than-a-planet light; with binoculars, it was a dark cross shape with light like shimmering rhinestones: three on each side of each arm. The brightest light was in the middle of the cross. Orange spherical object on right arm- like looking at a planet. It stood still for ten minutes then backed away steadily. When it became visible only as a light, it began moving in a fast spiral figure-8 motion until completely out of view.

Tahoe City, CA
On August second around midnight my daughter and I were sitting on a dock on Tahoe lake. We were admiring the full moon and Venus. Out of nowhere we saw a bright white light appear next to Venus. It was on the right side and about the same size and appearance as Venus. It stayed there a couple minutes, then backed up. It took off very fast away from us behind Venus. As it took off, it zigzagged up above and to the left of Venus. Soon after it turned red. It kept speeding away unlike any speed I have ever observed. The red dot became tinier and tinier until it disappeared. It was the strangest thing we’ve ever seen. We’d like to know what it was.
August 1, 2020 · 10:50 PM · FIREBALL
Bentonsport, IA
I noticed looking in a North Eastern Direction in the sky beneath the clouds, approximately one mile away from where we were we saw 6-8 fire balls that were slowly moving toward each other and formed into three dimensional looking diamond before it disappeared behind the Treeline. They were visible for approximately 5 minutes. We were you able to snap a photo of it, and after cleaning up the image the fireball actually looks like a Cube with round globular light inside of it. This must have been what they all look like up close. The rest of the night I had this sensation of unease, fear and that we were not alone- when we absolutely were.
