Noticed a couple of especially bright lights low in the southern sky. I watched awhile, thinking they might move. I hen walked to the Eastern side of the house for a better look. I took a series of photos, and a video, then went back inside. The blow up of the photos shows some odd anomolies the I can't explain.

Shape: Triangle Sound: None - Dead quiet no wildlife Visible color/Markings: 0 markings, Black Recount: I was watching for the comet neowise I believe it was, I came across a patch of sky blacked out in a perfect triangle. The edges of the shape refracted the stars, imagine chromatic aberration and distorted/difuesed stars that somehow stop existing past the edge while appearing curved into nothing. There was no noise. There was no abnormalities aside from literally negative space where there should have been stars. I looked at the clock at 9:45 that night, look back at it and somehow it was 11:45. My attention to detail is extremely high ask my col from rotc, I dont miss details. Period. Not saying I was abducted but I am a loss of what I saw and my missing time. I have had Urinary issues since and the doctors are still trying to figure out what's wrong. Similar to the missing time I experienced as a child when in the corn field with my father who's former Navy Nuclear Submariner and sister many years ago, no one was able to find me then I turned the corner and was found after a long time im told. I guess they like me if UAPs are the cuase. I do often get random I guess flashes or singular memory of looking at a short grey face with big black eyes but that could be just a memory from or movie or something thats stuck in my head but I dont know its all very confusing for me because I cant recall any movie ive seen like that. I get a fear emotion but like I wait to be told how it affects me at the same time like hesitant emotional response. Its rare i have that kind of memory and I am doing my best to avoide sounding like a conspiracy nut but its the truth. I am reporting this to my government because it's my responsibility to as a citizen and a patriot to provide my government with intelligence although it be late. Late due to me not wanting to sound or appear a nut as well as not wanting to waste my governments time with inactionable intelligence. I love science, facts are food. Beale Air Force base is located north east of event location within 30 miles I believe, it clearly evaded radar. This is the truth with all details I can remember, if aliens are real I would like to meet them, fear is a response to the unknown which can quickly turn to interest and appreciation. Thank you for your time.

Dash Point, WA
On Saturday July 25, my wife and I and our little bichon went down to what we call the "Zen garden" -- which we just completed with slate rock and gravel -- to create a little patio, it's little spot about a 150 ft² nestled in trees, bushes and shrubbery ... as we sat down in 2 adirondack chairs next to eachother, to enjoy the evening around 9:30 I was admiring the floor slate slabs that we had installed, when my wife grabbed my right forearm and asked " what is that ?" ... I looked up and instantly knew it was the same vehicle I had reported on July 10, a huge circular object with a very bright white lighted center making up about 90% of its belly and the edges a red Orange glowing, shimmering ring ... but this time I was able to see more because it was a lot darker outside and we were out in the garden looking up -- as opposed to the July 10 incident where we were on the upper deck, looking almost sideways at it --' this vehicle was the same vehicle, t traveled from the North East to the South West in the same flight path as the July 10 event ... it seemed to have a misty white "shroud" to its rear and above it, that was billowing behind -- it was made up of white misty light, it had the shape of a cape, or cloak, and followed the vehicle like a condensation trail.... below the vehicle i noticed it had a conical shaped red light beam thst was being directed to look back-and-forth, downwards, towards the Earth ... the red beam didn't have a "center" (like a flashlight would in its beam), but just a ring, in the shape of a cone that expanded as it reached further out from the ship ... the "outside" of this cone shaped beam was solid, bright red/burgundy color. It looked like it was a search light, looking at or for something. When it first appeared. It was about half way over the Puget Sound, between Maury Is. and the Dash Point Pier. When my wife first noticed it, it virtually appeared right over the Sound as if it "turned its lights on." It moved silently and smoothly in a straight line. Maintained altitude, it made Slight changes in acceleration, a little appearance of slight bobbing, but maintained its straight line course NE to SW. The vehicle was round, and defined by the light it was shining. It's possible the actual shape may differ because nothing is visible behind the light. The center was made up of and entire "belly" of white light, it was a surreal looking white color ( like LED light white, but without the bluish hue LED has). The outer ring was a shimmering red/orange, seemed to be flickering at the edges, and bright. The moon was in the sky to the SE of us, better part of half-moon to 3/4, brightly lit by the slow setting Sun in the NW we're accustomed to see in the summer. The light intensity of the UFO's center white light was almost competing with the brightness if the moon. As soon as we saw it, we stood up and looked in amazement as wellas a little fear that we're encountering this again. I instantly said "It's the same UFO we saw" because i recognized it. My wife was a bit fearful and was standing slightly behind me with her right hand on my left shoulder, as we visually followed its travel. I asked her 3 times, "Look at it, you tell me that's not a UFO" And she kept saying "it looks like a gigantic chinese lantern" and then "it looks like it has a flowing, misty looking shroud behind it" It flew right past us in what seemed to be slowing down, and then sudden acceleration, and slowing down again, until it went right over the horizon behind our neighbors house ... the whole incident lasted about 45 seconds ... it is hard to tell how high and therefore how big this object is but based on my July 10 incident report -- I know that when a 737 flew underneath this object, it was about 4 to 6 times larger than the 737 and it was higher than it --- so it gives an optical illusion of being lower, but it's actually a very large vehicle, very high ... we were a little freaked out so we went back into the house... and then I reviewed the security video camera, one of which points out the front door and in the direction of where the vehicle passed looking West ... and nothing showed on the camera because the angle was not high enough into the sky, its focused on the door and the driveway. While reviewing the security camera it showed us entering the house at 9:36, and the incident happened between 5 to 7 minutes before that, so the whole thing lasted between 9:30 and 9:36 PM.

This event happened while i was standing in my front yard. I was looking south in the sky at Jupiter and Saturn. Then starting looking up at a satellite, some planes, it was as dark as it gets here at the time. Then looking up i saw 3 lights that resembled stars appear directly above head. They were most certainly very very high in the sky, they headed from west to east in silence from about the 2 o'clock overhead to the 11 o'clock overhead and disappeared. They were going at about the speed you would see a satellite go, but there 3 of them, all headed the same direction, the same speed, and if you put a fist in the sky, they were spread out in triangle fashion at the same size. as they dimmed they looked as if they went from the whitish/yellow to a reddish and then disappear. The lights looked like stars in how dim they were, but appeared and disappeared unlike anything that i can make sense of. Stayed out until about 12 midnight looking up and saw many air! planes and satellites, and a shooting star, but the 3 ball craft never reappeared. the sighting only lasted about 10 seconds at most.

Reporting An Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) Suffolk, Virginia 23435 July 22, 2020 To Whom It May Concern: This morning on a very clear night sky it was around 4:15am as I took my dogs outside just like I have done every morning for many years and was gazing in to the night sky and saw the North star. Then I turned and begin looking around in the night sky and turned my direction to the western sky and noticed round, white blinking object that caught my eye. The more I watched this one object, it was acting so erratic moving (in all directions). My heart began to pump fast and I felt I was seeing an actual UFO. I went inside my home and retrieved my phone and begin taking (2) videos of the sighting. I am 62 years old and have gazed many times over the years in the night sky and have seen shooting stars and in a solar eclipse in 1972, but nothing like what I saw today. I would hope that someone else may have witness the same sighting today and report. I am forwarding my videos to (www.directorufocenter.com) for review.

Came outside for morning coffee and bright point of light caught my attention. No noise and object was not moving but seemed to vary in size very slowly. I took a photo and when looking back up after 15 seconds object completely disappeared. Photo taken shows roofline of my house with object in sky in a ENE direction. Sky conditions were partly cloudy at this time.

3 large pulsating lights on side of cliff/mountain, which began spreading out and growing brighter. Lights were very unusual and I’ve never seen anything like this in that specific spot. Seemed to be emitting light from the bottom of something as the lights were not facing forward, but down beneath the objects. Too far away to see shapes of objects. Could not stay and observe because a truck driving 85mph or so barreled towards us and forced us to drive away

Person 1:Person 1: Wednesday, July 22nd, 2020 at 12:46 am I went outside to my backyard and I looked up and saw a large circular ship (@50 ft wide) with red lights around the perimeter of the ship and large orange light @12 ft across in the center at the bottom of the ship. It had landing wheels tucked into the bottom of the ship and the underside of the ship looked like it had a large motor box. It was right above me at the top of my tree about 25 ft above the ground. I could see the red lights on the grass. It did not have any propellers and it was very loud, like the sound of a waterfall. The bottom was completely black except for the lights. I ran inside and got my friends to come outside and see it. We watched it from directly underneath it. After 15 seconds it took off extremely fast parallel to the ground towards the North. Then we went to the front yard and saw a large orange light about a mile away towards the East over our neighbor’s barn. Person 2: Wednesday July 22, 2020 12:46am. I was watching TV and my friend ran inside and said “Come outside, I think there is a space ship”. I ran out side with my friend and I heard this loud huge noise that sounded like a large waterfall. I looked up and saw a large spaceship that was black with a bright orange light in the center of the bottom of the ship. The orange light was about 12ft wide and the ship was about 50 feet wide. The ship was directly above a tree which was about 20-25 ft high. The ship was creating wind that made the tree move back and forth at the top. We did not feel the wind. The ship hovered above her yard and then suddenly took off towards the North after about 15 seconds. It went straight across even with the ground at a very fast speed. We ran to the front yard and we saw a bright orange light that looked like a star above the neighbors barn to the North East. We went inside and the light was still above the barn in the sky. It left around 1:00 am.

My nephew and I were setting out on the back porch of our cabin. It was about midnight. It was pitch dark but our eyes had adjusted to the night and we could see almost everything, including the stars and Milky Way formation. We were setting outside watching stars and talking. We had been outside for several hours. We were looking over a large clearing in the valley of two large mountains when all at once we both witnessed a orb of light come over the mountains and drop into the valley about a mile away-directly in front of us. Within a second, it flashed directly in front of us about thirty yards away. Within another second or two it passed our position before turning back to us . It hesitated directly in front of us again about twenty yards away before zipping directly opposite our position and back over the mountain. The event lasted about 6-8 seconds and it was over. It reminded me of watch fire flies in the back yard. Only these orbs were larger and coveri! ng large distances between flashes. They were about the size of a golf ball . They would flash in one spot and then flash again within a second somewhere else Covering large areas at a time. You could see a slight tail of light behind it giving the eye a sense of direction when it flashed as it was traveling. Other than the slight tail, it was basically a flash of light in the shape of a round ball. The color was about the same color as the stars; a light blueish-white color. We were both surprised and amazed at what just happened in front of our eyes. The size is somewhat confusing because it is hard to place its size to scale. That’s because the country behind it was so big, and the distance it was coving was so large. He is fourteen years old and I know it made a huge impact on his life.. At the time of the encounter, we were having a conversation about the stars, life in outer space, and religion. We both believe it might have had something to do with our experience.

I went outdoors last evening to see if I could see the Neowise comet. I didn't see the comet but I did see something very strange. I saw a bright light and it had a little bit of red in it as well. It was darting around the sky quite erratically. It would go to the left it would go down it would go up and go across the other way. It zigzagged swiftly then would hover. It stayed in pretty much one spot but it did move over to the right after some time. I did wake up the witness and he also observed it and thought it was quite strange. There was no sound. I did hear airplanes in the distance but I am convinced this was not an airplane. I watched it for approximately half an hour and then just decided to go to bed. I can't explain it. It was circular and had bright lights. I occasionally saw some red lights. It was just darting across the sky in very erratic patterns. I've never seen anything like it before. It wasn't making much progress across the sky. It would do erratic patterns and then it would move over a bit. And then back to erratic patterns again. It didn't really get very far. I got distinct impression that it was doing a search. It was looking for something. I was glad it wasn't me it was looking for. Of note, earlier in the day I had recounted about another UFO that followed me from Lowell many years ago. We also heard a noise on our deck that made us jump about 45 minutes before the sighting.

While standing on my deck in the back country with my 2 sons and a friend my oldest son was looking up at the pine trees blowing when he said what the hell. We all looked up and there was 3 circled objects about 10 thousand ft I’m guessing in a triangle not moving at all. Watched them and tried get cell phone pics but to high. They stayed there for about an hour and a half. So we kept looking up to see if they would move but they never did. One time we looked up after a while and they were gone. It was a great experience. But don’t have a clue what they were.

Sitting on my deck having (yes) a Cocktail (1 cocktail) looking up at the sky, in a north by northeast direction, I observed a sphere-shaped (something) traveling from the north (east) to the south (west) at a high rate of speed. At first, I thought it was a helicopter and thought, Man that chopper is really moving FAST. Then, I realized it was not close ... rather some distance away and, quite large. (I guess). Its color was Bright Orange / Yellow / Orage (pulsating). I have no idea of its size but it did seem to be quite large for a helicopter. It got my attention and just as I was really staring at it .... the Light went out !!!!!! There was No Cloud Cover so ...... it did not disappear behind the Clouds. There was No Sound (at least that I could hear). I have no idea how far away it was as it was dark here so I couldn't judge. At first, I thought it may have been the international space station but, It WASN'T! This is the 2nd sighting of ???? in that direction over the last 2 years.

Very bright light (brighter than planes) that occasionally flickers. It’s moving erratically, as if searching for something (up, down, left, and right). Short periods of remaining still. Nothing on the air radar. Still active now.

While out photographing comet Neowise Tuesday evening from my front yard I spotted an object that flew through the field of view I had composed with a 450mm lens (an arc of just under five degrees). The unknown rectangle had no lights of any kind and had a dull, tan coloration. Though late, I suspect I could see its color due to sky glow from the city of Everett 10 miles to the NW. The object entered the photo frame from the lower left and exited at the upper right. Its straight line trajectory took it above the image of the comet. The size of the comet comprised about 1/20th of the photo frame. The object was 2 or 3 times larger than the comet’s nucleus. The object’s rectangular shape seemed a bit broken up along the top with black lines (shadows?) in the middle. The camera gear was a professional mirrorless camera with a long telephoto lens on a tripod. With exposure set for the comet I did not get a photo of the object. Witness is a long-time photography teacher at Seattle- area colleges.

Littleton, CO 80128 At approximately 10:02pm on Monday, July 21st, 2020, I was reminded by the local news to take a look outside as the Neowise comet may be visible. I didn’t see the comet, but knowing that the ISS was also supposed to be visible from my location around that time. I immediately spotted a slowly blinking light moving from west to east. Its direction suddenly changed to the south and slowly made it towards my community. As it got closer, I noticed to trailing lights that were just a bit dimmer. Looking closely, it was obvious this was a triangular arrangement of lights that were now hovering over my townhome complex and making no sound. On a couple of separate occasions, the “trailing” lights got slightly brighter which allowed for more illumination of the overall craft; it was indeed triangular. It was then that I noticed other moving lights in the area. Some with a faint red glow and others that appeared to be smaller versions of this particular craft. At one point one of the smaller crafts flew under the larger, original triangle and completely illuminated the underside of this object. The shadowing that the smaller craft cast provided a brief glimpse of texture to the underside of the larger craft. Think 4 very distinct “ribs;” like you’d see on a leather car seat. The object would also occasionally shift as if to redirect its course while not actually going anywhere. Originally, the brightest light was facing south, but after about 30 minutes of observation, it was apparent it was now facing west. At this point I asked my daughter to come outside and tell me what she thought she was looking at. At first she said some planes, but I had to remind her that planes don’t hover; and they are not generally silent. She then said, “Dad, what’s that,” and point in the direction of northeast sky. It appeared that there was a larger version of the original triangular-shaped object just a few miles to north of us. This one had all of its lights illuminated so that any observer could make out its outline – triangular but twice as large and with what may have been a tail, like a stingray. It then emitted a streak of white light to the northwest that left the atmosphere within a split second. This was the first of three instances that I saw streaking white lights heading in that direction. I could not verify any other sources however. Then the drones started flying. This was clearly a man-made object that flew from the north just along the top of some trees, took position just south of the object and flew up to an elevation of about 300 feet. It stayed right there for at least 3 hours. By 1:30am on Tuesday, there were at least 5 drones surrounding the object(s). I Invited some friends over to have a look and also met my neighbor in the parking lot; they all confirmed exactly was I have described. In fact, once they went home, they could actually track that at least two small triangles had migrated slowly to the west. The drones moved accordingly. At this point I was too tired to stay up and just accepted that there are things out there that I may never understand.

Upon looking at the Big Dipper, I saw a fast light heading south into the cup of the dipper, it then went north. Back to the handle . I called my roommate. She grabbed the binoculars, and saw it shooting south past the handle of the Big Dipper. And then immediately shoot back down towards the cup It was not visible to the eye without binoculars. And was then gone from 22:00 cst to 22:30
