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.

Single light moving erratically in the sky. Light turned red after staring out loud “well it can’t be a plane because there are no red or flashing lights” then the craft quickly went high in the sky flashed and disappeared before our eyes. The sky was clear, no clouds.

I whet outside to bring my cat out and there was a Bright light with a small light following it about 10 feet behind[ the perspective i seen,, could be 100 feet in real-life] when 3 lights started to spin around it for 3 secounds then back to a bright light with a small light following it 10 feet behind at a constant pace, very unuiusal.....Like it was being towed behind.

I would like to report a ufo sighting over Syracuse, New York on august 1st at 9 pm local time. i was in my backyard and i saw what i thought was a plane flying overhead from east to west. as it came closer i noticed a strange orange flame surrounding the object. i could tell it wasn’t just a plane on fire. there was no smoke trail and the flames weren’t behaving as if it was a plane on fire. the orange fire completely engulfed the object as it traveled across the sky. I couldn’t make out the shape but i saw a dark object in the center of the flames. i can’t tell exactly how big it it was. it appeared to be the size of a small passenger plane. It traveled along a straight level flight path at a constant speed, about the same speed that a small plane would. after a few seconds it then vanished. Several second later i saw an identical object. the second object followed the same flight path at the speed. it was identical in every single way. it had the same dark shape surrounded by an orange flame. it disappeared at the same points the first. Neither object made any sound. A small plane at a similar altitude would be loud and a larger plane at a higher altitude is usually very loud. the entire encounter lasted for about a minute and then it was over.

Damariscotta, ME
Standing a dock on the western side of Pemiquid Pond two lights seen traveling very high up in tandem eastward their motion slowed and hung stationary for a moment, using a green laser I indicated the lights to the group, using the beam to circle the two stationary lights, one seemed a faint red or pink, the other a larger brighter white, the smaller red light was trailing the larger bright white light and after I had circled them with the beam they slowly faded from sight. we all were impressed and awestruck at the mystery of it and the feeling of interaction with it.

I started recording a light that appeared to be around 34.167666,-117.862964. I described the video what i saw because it kept disappearing and reappear. After reviewing the video I observed a flash of light zoom into space and curve around frame :19 to :24. That surprised me, I then slowed the video and filtered night vision. When I did that I saw something appear out of thin air zoom about 45 degrees (granted this is in slow motion). Then turn 180 degrees the 45 degrees again then zoom into space leaving a trail of light and curve into space. Then a friend of mine noticed on the original video at frame :29 and :30 you here a sonic boom then the orb or light disappears from the top of the ridge. Granted the light beam had already disappeared into space at frame :24. Then the boom around :29 and the orb disappears. I have the video and everyone is shocked what we saw.

Sebago, ME
At exactly 2041 hours EST, I along with two other witnesses observed two points of light bearing 300 degrees NW, one right behind the other. We were all seated outside when the two UAPs passed directly over us at an unknown altitude. The lead object was many times brighter than the second. The lead object was also many times brighter than a satellite or a star, (satellites are nearly impossible to spot from where we were situated because of our proximity to many sources of light pollution, including the moon at about 3/4 full and located to the southwest of these UAP). The second light was much less luminescent than the first - about the same as a star and far brighter than any satellite. The light was steady white with no color or anti-collision strobe as commonly seen on conventional aircraft. I estimated their course at 120 degrees SE with only a few degrees of separation between them. Both objects travelled at the same speed. I fumbled for my cell ! phone camera and was only able to capture them in a still photo before they passed behind a large grove of pine trees at the rear of our position. I checked the historical position of the ISS for that exact time these UAPs were sighted, which indicates that the ISS position was directly over the Gulf of Mexico near the Texas/Mexican border and traveling NW to SE.

As above: low, silent, dark shape seen after sundown but before it was full dark. It was heading in the direction of Newtown Square. When I got home I tried to look up the shape of the thing on the web, and found that one just like it had been sighted over Sidney, Australia in about the same 24 hour period.

Detroit, MI
Myself and two friends were enjoying a summer night on a friends roof top in Midtown Detroit. We were looking up into the night sky when above us at the height of planes fly over to land at the airport two giant orb like things appeared. I shouted to my two friends to look. We all couldn’t take our eyes away in amazement. Their shapes were identical and their light was perfect no hot spots or dimming in areas. They were moving in the same directions at a very fast speed to the west of the city. They would move as separate and then come together as one and then separate and coming me back together. They did this twice before shooting off to were we couldn’t see them anymore. We were all shocked nothing I’ve never seen anything move like that before in my life. Now I can’t stop looking up.

Worcester, MA
At about 7:45pm my boyfriend and I left our home at ((address deleted)) Rd, Worcester, MA 01604 in our car to pick up dinner at Dinos Restaurant located on 13 Lord St, Worcester, MA, 01604. As we drove to the restaurant we noted black smoke in the sky that was getting thicker and thicker as we drove our ordinary path to the restaurant. While we were driving, we started seeing people run towards the smoke and take out their phones to get video…as we got to the red light on Hamilton St, Worcester, MA 01604 we were finally able to see the entire front of a car was engulfed in flames in a parking spot across the street. Fire engines were just starting to arrive at the scene. One firetruck came up Hamilton St, then the light at the intersection turned green and we proceeded a few hundred feet up the street (past the fire) and a second firetruck came driving towards the fire. We continued to drive about a quarter of a mile on Plantation St when I saw what I thought was a white flare shoot up from the ground. I expected to see it come back down with a burnout trail like most flares do. I was wondering if it was even a firework. I don’t know why the “flare” stood out to me at that moment but there was nothing else around it in the sky and it was in front of me over to the right a little (I’ll get exact directions and coordinates for you tomorrow), to the left of me was a large field used for baseball games and other city events (Holmes Field). Its distance seemed like a few football fields away….as high as a plane could be. I then wondered if it was a plane because it hovered in the sky for a few seconds…then it turned red (looking like a red light) and flew in a circle formation parallel to the ground, stopped, and shot off increasing speed as it shot to the left, out of sight. It appeared to accelerate to about 100 miles (or more) an hour, a! nd it disappeared behind the trees. Me and my boyfriend looked at each other (this happened all while we were driving) and said “Woah, we just saw that!” We were both simply in shock because this object moved unlike anything we had ever seen. I have never seen a drone go that fast. We finally reached our destination a mile up the road and purchased our dinner and went home. I did not have any alcohol or drugs in my system, just blood pressure meds and an SSRI for anxiety. On the way home I called my twin brother who is a rocket scientist and explained what I saw. He said it could have been a firework. My boyfriend also took the phone to explain in detail what we saw and my brother just talked to us a little longer and listened to us and we said goodbye. I wrote about the sighting on facebook and another friend immediately wrote that his wife had just driven by the car in flames. She wrote in a few minutes later that she saw the same thing we did (the flare/light) and she identified it as a drone heading in the direction of the fire. However she didn’t see it do a circle formation and shoot off and disappear in the trees like we did, and she also only saw it as a white light (she didn’t see it turn red). So I’m thinking we weren’t looking at the same object. Both my boyfriend and I have seen drones in flight before and we have never seen a drone fly with this much power behind it…it was definitely being controlled somehow and not just r! andomly shooting off in the sky like a firework. A few hours later another friend said her husband saw what we described the previous Wednesday in the same area. She told me he also doesn’t believe it was a drone and had started doing research to find out what it could have been. She found a news spot that the ISS was visible in the sky that evening. But the space station does not move that fast in those directions. One thing that stands out to me besides this sighting is the other woman who saw it (a friend of mine) and said it was a drone, visited me the day before on my birthday (July 31) at work and I hadn’t seen her in about a year. I thought that was ironic. About my background: I’m 44 years old and I worked for 10 years as a broadcast journalist and 10 years in community relations. I currently work as a compliance officer at a vertically integrated cannabis company in Worcester. I do not use cannabis, I am passionate about cannabis research and the industry itself. I earned my graduate certificate in Cannabis Regulatory Affairs from Clark University in March of 2020. This is the first program of its kind in the US and I earned a 4.0. My brother is my twin, he’s a rocket scientist, and loves space. A few weeks ago my cousin in Hawaii made me an astronaut purse and she is pursuing a career with NASA.

Mesa, AZ
I was walking back to a residence from a fast-food place on Mesa Drive and Southern, and as I passed a line of two story townhomes, from the direction of Phoenix, I saw what appeared at first to be a fast moving jet aircraft, but it made no sound, and for an aircraft pushing the speeds it was going, usually you'll hear some kind of roar, and it went fast as it flew by and over me at about 15-20,000 feet. Once it got above me, I noticed it was circular in shape, a puffed out oval-like craft, similiar in appearance to the smaller spacecraft seen in the film, Independence Day, but without the protrusions on top of it. It had a small trailing blue light nestled in the tail, and it reflected the setting sun off in a brilliant gleam from its metal. I could literally see the sun shining off its body. After it flew over the roof of a nearby townhome, to disappear from sight, I rushed to an adjacent road that had a better view, only to find it was gone!

Anderson, SC
The sides/edges of the object(s) continued to disappear and re-appear translucently, as if light were refracting around edges- object(s) appeared to refract light with the translucent parts having a different index of refraction, at different intervals (you could see 1 side, then you couldn't, then you could see another side (translucently), then you couldn't, etc.), indicating visual light behavior having characteristics of birefringence. No discernable lights. Object(s) were ~ >1 mile away (either varying sizes or varying distances from point of view). Observed for approximately 45 minutes (object(s) remained after observation ended). When describing ephemeral sides/edges of the object as translucent: Not milky, similar to hot exhaust, or predator camouflage from movie Predator (great performance by Arnold) and to reiterate, clearly with discernible edges and in formation, not gas-like, in regards to related phenomenon. Implied (s) in object(s) to indicate multiple objects or one object emitting instances of other objects open-ended (similar to non-human versus extraterrestrial denotation). Birefringence is the optical property of transparent, molecularly ordered materials that causes light to split into two rays. The two rays are called the ordinary ray and the extraordinary ray. The extraordinary ray is bent at an angle as it travels through the material.

I was looking out my kitchen window, its really clear and sunny. I seen a very metallic, shiny object slowly moving through the air, high altitude. I could tell it was not a plane. It looked like a ball. I thought it may have been a balloon, however it was very slow, then picked up a bit of speed the slowed down again. It was not normal. I took a video but my camera isn't that clear. I made snap shots of the video and made the resolution bigger. I posted it to my face book. It traveled a straight line and did not stray for the entire time I witnessed it.

Spicewood, TX
Though our address is in Spicewood, this sighting was seen closer to Briarcliff. From the neighborhood of West Cypress HIlls, off Highway 71, we saw 5 orange lights. After the first one, my partner came into the house and told me. I went back outside and saw the rest They appeared to be coming from the lake, north of our position. The orange lights did not flash at all. They seemed to follow the same path and they each disappeared at the same spot in the sky. We did not hear any sound coming from them. It was partly cloudy that night, but there were no clouds where the orange lights disappeared. The moon was full. The ones I saw seemed to appear one after another. They were round with a smaller round shape on top. We thought they were drones at first, but the lights were orange and didn't blink. Since they disappeared, we don't think they were drones. I don't see any record of anyone else seeing these lights, so I wanted to make sure this was recorded.

Driving home, my daughter and I witness a very strange form trying to replicate a cloud in an almost triangular shape but with a tail pointing down to earth. The shape changed color for a florescent yellowish green to fluorescent red, then back to yellow. It was stationary and looked like it even had the clouds stopped from moving. the tail grew, and as we reached our destination we got out of the car and watched it change to almost camouflage it's color to look like a cloud only a little darker. the tail began to retract, the form slowly began to dissipate but not like the clouds. the wisps were nothing like the clouds around it. I have video footage of it as it was like nothing I have ever seen before. I did in 2000 ish see another sighting but NOTHING like this.. The colors of what it was stood out like a storm in a clear sky with a few cirrus clouds.

Howell, NJ
While driving east on I-195 in Howell, New Jersey from exit 28B to 31B, I saw a silver, shiny spherical object move over the roadway. It hovered over the roadway well above the tree line and then traveled over the road in an eastward direction, the same direction I was traveling. It continued to move ahead of me and I was unable to catch up to it traveling around 75 mph. I followed it for a few miles and as I approached my exit it vanished from the sky. It seemed to disappear completely instead of flying away.

This occurred 5 minutes after I saw the Black shiny object in the same part of a clear blue sky. I went back outside to see if I could see any more of the object that I had just saw. I was looking up in the sky and I saw to my left a white chevron shaped object appear. I watched it thinking it was a seagull. But a seagull wouldn't be in the central part of Ct. It wasnt. It was solid and it flew on an upward trajectory then accelerated to a speed greater than any jet I have seen. It flew right up where the Black object had dissappeared, did a loop dloop, and zipped up so fast I looked around to see if any of my neighbors had seen it. It was that crazy fast. Then it was gone.

The object was Black, looked like a flattened accordian. The sun glistened off it as it slowly turned and hovered. I noticed it inside my house as I looked out the big window walking down the stairs. I saw a flash in the sky. I went outside and saw it. I grabbed binoculars and watched it. I tried to film it with my phone but got nothing,it was too far. It eventually went up and was gone. It was not a balloon.

Blackfoot River, MT
I was on a 2 day float trip on the Blackfoot river in Montana last summer in July. We started our float on a Thursday and camped passed the Whittaker bridge. I woke up early Friday morning as my tent was getting hot since the sun was beaming down on it. I went to my kayak to make sure that everything was there from the day before (straps, oars,) as the river could have moved things around during the night. I sat on a rock and lit my cigarette. I was looking toward the river to see if there were any fish, thinking this is the perfect time to catch one. While adjust my position on the rock I noticed aove the tree line, roughly less than 1/4 mile away from me I see a shinny silver saucer like object. The object was moving to slow to be a plane and there wasn’t any noise being produced. I was just thinking in my head how could this not be a ufo. It was not a drone, I did not see any wings or propellers. The object moved to the north and stopped and slowly move! d south.the distance it travelled was probably 1000ft. I wasn’t able to film the object as my phone was dead due to it roaming during the trip and the battery died. I watch it move back toward the north and I lost it in the tree line and never saw it again.

This feeling overwhelmed me mentally when it went dark then bright like it turned it's self off and on. Tonight it did not turn off and on but I felt as if it knew I was studying it. Then in the far far distance I began noticing other lights. Roughly 9-12 spaning from the north to east and south orange and blue in nature and didn't move. I am freaked out. I didn't know who or what agency to file a report to. I am college educated with a degree from Penn State, own my own home that I share with my son. I have no reason to waste time creating a story, then searching for society fringe to hock it on via this time consuming post.

The objects were one small above one large and one small below the large. I went into the house and picked up my iPad to take pictures. When I returned with the iPad they split into one small high in the sky and one small on the left of the large one that were closer to the earth. I took pictures of this formation.
