I woke to use the restroom, looked out the window and saw bright light in sky. Every time I took a picture it changed shape

I got home from work early in the AM and looked up at the sky. I noticed a small cluster of white orbs which I thought were stars at first. I noticed they would get bright then dissapear and reappear anywhere from 10-15 seconds. They were pretty high up with in a formation that resembled and arrow. 2 in a straight line going up and 3 that formed the “arrowhead” I watched them for about 15 minutes. They did not move far and to me it looked like the 2 that were in a straight line would hover closer then farther away from each other. I also noticed a few shooting stars the same night.

I called my son in to look at them and he believes that we caught a small spacecraft leaving a plasma trail behind it. He noted that the craft itself acted similar to aircraft in how the trail went bright, then faded as the object moved. Then we got curious and started calculating where the craft started to where it ended. We made a rough guess that the craft was at an excess speed of 4500 mph...going about Mach 5.85. The area is Lone Pine and the camera is facing towards the North East.

On Sunday evening, July 26, around 11:30 pm, I went outside and was standing on my patio looking up at the nighttime sky. I was looking due North. At about 60 degrees I saw what I initially thought was a planet. It was orange/red in color and was not twinkling but had a steady ray so again I thought it must be a planet. But, I realized that planets do not travel in the section of the sky. As I began looking at it it began to fade, then it got a little brighter, but faded again, and then just disappeared. I looked on around that section of the sky for several minutes to see if it might reappear but it did not. I thought it was most strange. I told my adult daughter about it and we both laughed and I dismissed it. Then several days later a FB friend posted this article from Boise about this 75 year old man there reporting seeing something almost exactly as I had. The initial time period that I saw this orange/red ball, that was about the size of Mars on a clear and bright night, was approximately 20 seconds. I have never seen a UFO or anything like this before. I have no idea what it was. It did not look like a spacecraft and it did not rapidly move. It was simply there shining rather brightly and then it sort of pulsated a few times and then went invisible.

The light was very high in the sky so that it looked like it was a star, however it started to move forwards towards the East. One it had moved forwards for about 6 seconds, it proceeded to move higher and disappear.

I was standing on my deck staring at the stars when I saw a very large ball of LED colored light came soaring through the sky just above the tree tops. It was much lower flying than any plane or helicopter. It was silent, and from my perspective appeared to be very large. There was no distinct craft, just a large ball of light moving in a straight line, and at a controlled but fast speed. Behind it there was what appeared to be a jet stream, but it was pitch black out so it was more like a trail of very faint light that was the exhaust. The light was only in my view for a few moments but the exhaust light remained for a few more seconds before dissipating. This was clearly not a shooting star or meteor. The “craft” continued on to an area out of my view. I am absolutely certain that this was nothing other than a craft of some sort whether it be military or ET. There were planes in the area at the time, but they looked like ants compared to this thing.

Out of nowhere, the brightest white lights came zooming across the sky and stopped in front of us, hovered and turned then zoomed off again through a building. There was no sound or air movement. The shape was rectangular that was 3-D. The lights were brighter than any lights we had ever seen in the sky. It was peaceful. The 4 our us looked at each other and simultaneously said, “did you see that?” “What was that?” One of the individuals is an executive in the international aviation business so knowledgeable that it was not an airplane, helicopter or drone for multiple reasons as it was silent and the speed was faster than any of them as we watch them from the balcony. Two of the individuals are engineers and PhD’s at a Fortune 500 company and began a process of elimination of what it could be. The four of us all agree it was not anything we had ever seen before. It was peaceful, amazing and a one-time experience. It happened too fast to take a photo unfortunately. :(

I was sitting on the balcony at a resort looking out over the ocean in North Myrtle Beach around 9:30 pm. It was a perfectly clear night, the Moon and North Star seem tiny in comparison to what I witnessed. A Brilliant white starburst flashed on (no sound) high in the sky out in the distance over the ocean starting on left that flashed horizontally from left to right several times leaving a bright white trail in between where it started and stopped that left a starburst on each side when it stopped at the exact same distance each time. I felt as though it was “scanning something.” Then it stopped exactly on the left where it first appeared with the same huge white brilliant starburst light and disappeared as quickly as it appeared. Within seconds a falling star leaving a small burn out trail of red/blue/green appeared out of the same direction caught my attention.

Family (two adults in their mid 40s and two children ages 13 and 11) in backyard. We all observed a bright red, spherical light moving vertically (upward) in the sky overhead. Observed the red light for approximately 45 seconds until it abruptly vanished. There is a fair amount of air traffic in the area (notwithstanding COVID) as we are close to JFK International Airport, however, we have never observed an aircraft “disappear” as abruptly and without traveling across the horizon as air traffic typically does. There was no sound. The sky was partly cloudy, however, we were able to observe all air other traffic through the clouds as they traversed the sky.

My husband and I were sitting in our car beside the Manhasset Bay when I decided to take a picture of our town across the water. Just after the picture was taken in my iPhone we both recalled seeing a flash of light in the sky. Realizing that my camera may have been in “live” mode, we played it back and couldn’t believe we had gotten the incident on video. (My camera flash was NOT on when I had taken the picture). What the video revealed was 2 separate aircrafts that seemed to be traveling in synch, but not on the same level. The larger one on the right traveled extremely quickly across the sky before disappearing completely, while the seemingly smaller craft follows along but can still be seen in the video after the first craft disappears. There is a distinct “clicking” noise that can be heard just as the first craft vanishes into thin air.

Lancaster, CA
Last night on July 26, 2020, my wife and I decided to head out to the desert south of the town of Mojave to observe the comet. We found a great spot just north of Lancaster and about 5 miles south of Rosamond on a small wadi on West Avenue B just off of Sierra Highway. It was a very clear evening with just some haze in the west. We set up an evening camp just in time to watch the sun set. At about 8:05pm or so, as we were digging into dinner, my wife said “Look at that, out to the west”. I looked and saw what almost appeared to be a dark cloud among some sunset haze. I looked closer through the small binoculars we brought with us, and it looked like a wide pyramid, with a top that almost billowed (may have been the clouds/haze). It appeared to just hover in the sky, about 20 degrees up from the horizon. We used a mountain range between us and the object to observe. It never moved or changed shape as normal clouds do. It definitely looked out of plac! e and like a firm, fixed object. I saw what looked to be two small aircraft moving around the shape (just below it and moving right to left). My wife did not see these two smaller objects, despite looking through the binoculars. We observed for about 4 minutes, and then it seemed to “disappear”. It may have been from the haze/clouds. Then about 2-3 minutes later, again, my wife said—“Look! Over in that direction!” I looked over to the northwest, just to the west of the town of Rosamond, and I saw a black orb just above the horizon. It was moving west to east, about 300 feet over the horizon and descending slowly. It was moving at around 300 knots estimated (I am a retired Navy Fighter Pilot and civilian pilot with nearly 4,000 hours, so it is my best guess). It was about as big as a Jeep Wrangler and moving silently. It appeared to fly over the town of Rosamond. It never slowed, only descended slightly to about 100 feet above the ground after it passed well behind us. As it moved past, it appeared not only as a black ball, but also almost hexagonal, like the child toy that you used to plug different shapes into. There were no lights that I could see until it was directly behind us, then a reddish/white steady light (not anti-collision or position lights like on a normal aircraft). Since it appe! ared to fly over Mojave and the airport, my guess is that it was about five miles to the north of us. Then, we lost track. I went to my Jeep to get some things out of the back, and my wife called and said that the first large object was back in the west and that now there were two of them. I looked through the binoculars, and sure enough, the original object was in the same exact spot that it was before and flanked by another similar object. We watched them until the light faded, roughly another ten minutes or so. In their place once it the light had faded enough where they were no longer visible, we saw a single distinctive single light right at their exact location. This light remained for about 15 minutes. We left our evening camp spot at around 9:45pm with nothing else significant happening (aside from a pretty good view of the comet).

Birmingham, AL
In southwest sky I noticed what appeared to be a bright star in the pre-dusk sky. I spotted it while I was looking at the moon. With the moon as a reference point, and the nearby treetops, I noticed that the object was actually slowly moving at high altitude generally in a Westerly direction but not in a perfectly straight path. Movement was smooth and slow. I assumed it was some type of weather balloon. The sun was glinting off of it but at that great of a distance I couldn’t tell a shape. There was no contrail. I kept checking on it every few minutes and I filmed it for a few uneventful minutes on my phone. Finally I grabbed my binoculars to try to get a better look. When I finally got focus on the object it it expelled a small smoke plume that looked like what I can best describe as what an eject seat looks like when it’s fired. Like a small rocket shot upward from it for what appeared to be a short distance. The object immediately dimmed and disappeared and I believe I saw a small dark speck fall rapidly back to earth in my binoculars but I can’t say for certain because it was so far away. I continued to watch but there was nothing. No chute, no more smoke, nothing. My best guess is a weather balloon with some kind of self-distruct mechanism where it blows its balloon top? Either that or a high flying balloon that somehow launched a small rocket into the upper atmosphere.

Sunday 7/26/20 at 16:15 hrs I went out into my front yard and heard the sound of an aircraft that I recognized as the sound of a military aircraft from my back ground as a flight attendant for MAC flights.I did not see an aircraft. Seconds later, I heard a second military aircraft pass overhead. This second aircraft was visible to me, moving form West to East. It quickly disappeared into the horizon. Seconds after the disappearance, at a much lower altitude (2,000 ft?), I saw a long thin, light silver baseball bat shaped object descending slowly at approximately a 45 degree angle. I lost sight of the "bat"beyond the roof lines of my neighborhood. I stood still waiting for the sound of a crash-which never occurred. Immediately afterwards a third jet passed overhead, again moving from West to East. This jet was visible to me for seconds as it too passed into and disappeared into the horizon.

Lowell, MA
My husband and I were driving on I-95 from Massachusetts to Maine. We were on 495 near Lowell, MA at the time of the sighting. It was a clear day, around 1pm. Just below the cloud line there was a bright white oval shaped object hovering. We knew it was not an airplane because it was not moving in any direction- just hovering. I watched it intently as we drove to monitor any changes. It remained unmoving for several minutes before changing colors. It looked like it had rotated to show an underside of the craft, which was a grayish/black color. I turned around to tend to my daughter for a moment and when I looked back, it was gone. I searched the sky and the object was nowhere to be found. I took a photo while the object still presented as white, but I Unfortunately didn’t think to record exact location information. The information provided above is my best estimate of our location given the time that we left for our trip and the time the photo was taken.

10:30.First saw Green blinking lights in the kitchen window. They blinked and were green. About 2 min later I was on my way out to throw the trash and saw a light blink in the sky so I went outside and saw a white circle blinking and it started to move then just disappeared. Right after that happened cop stones went off every where.

I was at the beach when I noticed something spinning in the sky. I stared at it for a few seconds thinking it was some sort of balloon when I realized metal shining as it spinner. The rotation and direction was consistent. I then pulled out my phone and recorded 3 seconds of it because the sun was so bright I didn’t realize I didn’t catch much.

On July 26th 2020 about 1:45 am I was standing outside looking up at the stars, something really big and black passed over my head blocking my view of them. It had no lights , no sound. It took about 10 seconds for it to completely pass over me, returning my view of the stars .

Traveling southbound on us 52 near the intersection of county road 450 I witnessed four lights in a row that were just hovering above the highway and a nearby field. Three of the lights were similar in shape to rounded street lights but much brighter and white, the third light was blinking extremely fast next to that light was a bright red light. he middle of the white lights had a white hue around it similar to that of a flashlight . I at first thought it might of been a life line helicopter landing. The closer I got to it the more it just looked off, the lights were either moving apart or the closer I got the more space I noticed between the lights. I didn't witness anything between the light, but I saw something like a field or something around them in like a rounded rectangular shape. It wasn't until I driver underneath it and heard my car echo similar to going under a bridge or in a tunneI decided to get out and take a picture of it or a video or some! thing because I didn't hear it and realized that it was right on top of me. As soon as I parked my car and opened my door it was gone. I didnt see it fly away and I don't think I heard it.

As we were looking for the comet I noticed a light that was moving erratically back forth up down a little to the east of the dipper there was another doing the same movements.
